Danes are Victorious :
Crush New Paltz 71-55; Reid Excels
by Jay Marshall
Tuesday night the Albany STate
basketball team broke a two game
losing streak by defeating New
Paltz 71-55. The team was coming
off a tough loss to Cortland last
Saturday which as Coach Sauers
admitted, took a lot out of the
team. The team did not shoot
very well, but was offset by the
usual tight defense and good rebounding.
New Paltz had a decided height
advantage throughout the game.
Albany attempted to counteract
this height problem by playing a
running, pressing game. The press
was effective, however State failed
to convert on many fast-freak
situations. Coach Sauers readily
admits that the Danes are not a
running team, but such a situation
calls for the smaller team to play a
running game. Jack Jordan scored
nine of his thirteen points in the
first half as Albany jumped out to
a 33-21 advantage at intermission.
After half-time Jack Adams hit
eight quick points preventing New
Paltz from closing the lead.
Adams and Al Reid, who paced all
scorers with nineteen points, led
the attack in the second half as
Albany pulled away.
The important play of the reserves was a key in Albany's success. Ed Arscnau, displaying more
confidence than in the beginning
of the season and Mike Hill both
came off the bench and contributed in the victory. Hill showed
a willingness to battle under the
boards and, along with Jordan,
Steve Sheehan, and Reid, helped
Albany outrebound New Paltz.
After the game, Sauers commended the play of the subs and added
that forward Jim Sandy has been
the most valuable replacement,
but wasn't used much against New
Paltz because none of the forwards were in foul trouble.
Those who arrived al the start
of the varsity game missed half
the show. The freshmen team,
now 10-.1, ran over the New Paltz
Frosh 92-55. The Freshmen fea-
tured a balanced attack with the
starters averaging around ten
points each per game. The team
also has excellent depth and
Coach Lewis substitutes freely,
Coach Sauers believes at least five
players will move up to the varsity
next year. They will face a tough
opponent Saturday night in the
Siena Frosh. At the end of the
Frosh game, the Albany varsity
came onto the floor and warmed
up to the beat of Sly and the
Family Stone and other records.
The team held a meeting Monday
and decided to add some music to
the warm-ups. Sauers did not
object st), courtesy of Hill, music
was supplied.
The two clubs split last year,
Albany winning, 59-58 in the
championship game of the Capital
City Tournament and Siena stopping an 11-game Dane victory
slum later in the year, 73-«4. at
Troy High. That triumph also
halted Albany's longest series winning streak at four games. This
year, for the first time since 1964,
the rivals will meet only once.
Saturday night, Albany meets
its traditional rival, Siena. The Indians are led by 6-7 center Bob
Hermann who poses a large problem for the Albany defense. According to Sauers, Albany was
"flat" against New Paltz and must
play better to win Saturday night.
Come early and enjoy the show.
Grapplers edged by Post 22-18
The Albany State wrestling
team dropped a close 22-1H decision to the Pioneers from C.W.
Post on Wednesday. The loss left
the matmen with an overall 1-6
record.
The Danes registered three pins
and one decision in totaling up
their 18 points. Pinning their opponents were sophomore Jim
Nightingale, 158 lbs.; sophomore
Mike Mueller, 190 lbs and freshman heavyweight Herman Milliard. The other victory went to
freshman Phil Mims, 167 lbs., who
decisioned his man 12-5.
Just as Coach Garcia was mellowing in the good fortune of
having a 100% healthy team, a
major setback befell the grapplers
as Tim Coons injured his knee and
A
was unable to compete in the Post
contest. As the Coach sees it, the
absence of Tim could have been
the deciding factor in the outcome of Ihe match.
Despite the unimpressive record
amassed up to this point in the
season, several things should be
noted about this year's team. A
lack of depth and experience cannot be compensated in any way
and hits hardest in a sport like
wrestling. Not only does it
eliminate the much needed individual competition but has forced
the wrestlers in the lower weight
classes to compete one class above
their regular weight. Nevertheless
Coach Garcia is quite proud of the
job these boys are doing under
such conditions.
M I A
AMIA basketball continued this
week on its road to determining
the teams in each league that will
participate in the championship
playoff series.
In League I, EOP I continued to
set the pace with a 511-25 pasting
of STB. The winners were paced
by Carl Jones and Bobby Wright
who notched 14 and 12 points respectively. Jeff Soperstone led
STB with 8 markers. Potter Blub
continued to follow close behind
in second place winning from the
Underdogs by forfeit. This left
EOP with an unblem shed 9-0
slate, one game in front of Potter
which is 8-1.

The team is young, which lead*

The spirit and desire are there and
invaluable experience is being obtained every day.
As for the near future, the matmen face New Paltz, Harpur, and

New consultation
policy approved
Copies of the University Senate's resolution condemning the war in
Vietnam will be circulated to various elected representatives and
selected national media in compliance with a request made by the
Senate at their meeting yesterday afternoon.
Also at the Senate meeting the Executive Committee reported
on ils activities since January 19 when it was authorized to act for the
Senate on pending matters. Towards the end of the Senate meeting a
number of now resolutions were presented by various student senators
which wilt be discussed at the next regular Senate meeting.
The Guidelines for faculty-student consultation prepared to
implement last spring's Senate policy statement on student
participation have now been officially adopted. These guidelines slate
that the primary responsibility for drawing up student consultation
procedures lies at the departmental level. The guidelines acknowledge
that the mechanism of implementation are varied. However, it is
necessary for each department or unit to formulate a statement of
procedure, which is to be filed with the Vice-Chairman of the Senate.
These statements should "make explicit the circumstances and
manner in which student opinion will be obtained, the subject matters
scheduled for discussion, the machinery to be employed for selection
of sLuclent representatives, the grievance procedure and such other
provisions as may appropriately be made a matter of record as having
been decided or agreed to."
The recommendations on tenure and continuing appointments as
approved by the Council on Promotions and Continuing Appointments and the Executive Committee were discussed. It was the sense
of some Senators that the report was vaguely worded in places and it
was decided to return the report to the Council on Promotions and
Continuing Appointments to be reconsidered. Generally the report as
presented to Senate seems to ignore a substantial number of
suggestions made by the faculty-student committee on l'.iure which
would have guaranteed the role of the student.
Five new resolutions were introduced by various student senators
and were referred to the appropriate Senate Councils. They will be
discussed at the next regular Senate meeting.
These resolutions include the establishment of a review committee
in the RPA department, <i parking policy which will not. discriminate

Five thousand people are expected to converge on Albany
today to demand increased welfare benefits. They are asking for
$f),r>00 a year for a family of four,
without increasing taxes on the
middle and working classes. They
proposed that industry which has
not bad its taxes raised for ten
years, and the rich should be
taxed to a greater extent. Andrea
Kidd and Marilyn Berger of the
welfare rights organizion spoke
before a meeting of the New
Democratic Coalition last night.
They asked for students to help at
today's march as marshals and
baby sitters.
Kidd asked for the restoration
of Medicaid acts, an end to
discrimination against welfare recipients in housing, hot breakfast!
for children, and special grants for
meeting the emerging needs of the
poor.
NDC also discussed the matter
of their endorsement of candidates for Governor, Senator, and
Attorney General. They decided
that there were too few people at
this meeting to take any action
but will endorse candidates at the
next meeting on Monday, February 23. The state NDC will
endorse candidates on February
28.
Steve Villano, president of
NDC, disclosed the results of a
poll that was taken last week.
Everyone was allowed to vote in it

much validity.

The Constitution imposes a
clear wall between the tfovernment— local, state and federaland the press.
From time to time, the government tries to breach toe wall, and
such an attempt is underway right
now.
It must be turned back, for the
press is not an arm of a prosecutor
or a grand jury. It is not an agency
whose purpose is to help the
government. It is much more an
agency whose purpose is to watch

people of the country about its

not, obliged to inform any area of

But one could say that the above list smacks on

for ill you pragmatists let's get the record straight:
Most of the delegates at the Mobe convention were
intelligent, informed individuals. They went beyond
cliche and chatter to analyze problems thoughtfully.
For example, in the workshop on Political and Legal
Defense for Ihe Movement people old and young,
longhaired and short haired discussed the ins and
outs of American jurisprudence, the rights guaranteed in the Constitution, and the legality of Judge
Julius Hoffman's procedures in the Chicago Light
trial.
Similarly, Ihe plenary sessions on Saturday and
Sunday centered on facts and issues. When the
proposal for mass demonstrations in April came to
the floor most everyone had their say and most
everyone spoke directly and factually to the point.

of last weekend should not be taken lightly. Many

Joplin's 'Kosmic Blues' Epitomizes
Her Expression and Emotion
by Sue Hrycaj
1
After Janis Joplin dumped the
rest of "the Holding Company,"
she very selectively compiled just
the right musicians to back her up
even more powerfully than before. Prior to her opening with the
new group, Janis was a little
apprehensive about wheCher their
sound would come across. As far
as I'm concerned, her worries are
over.
"I Got Dem 01' Kozmic Blues
Again Mama!" has been around
for a while now, but that certainly
doesn't diminish its value. This
album epitomizes Joplin.
"Try" is the first and longest
cut. Singing this, she gets rid of all
her inhibitions-so much so that,
at concerts, she sometimes loses
control. This is documented by
her recent arrest during a performance of this song, resulting in
a charge of "profane language."
(Is there really such a thing as
profane language?)
"Maybe" makes the album. For
once, the background music almost equals Joplin's singing. The
combination of instruments and
voice bolster and support each
other until they become inseparable. Then they intertwine
with each other and with your
mind until all three are one. This
song was clone almost ten years
ago by a group which is now
extinct, but the difference is so
extreme that it takes a while to
recognize it as the same song.
"One Good Man" is an original
Joplin composition. It is con-

cerned with the boredom of
"collecting men" and "wearing
them like notches on a gun," and
her search for the one right man.
As she voices throughout the
song, "One good man ain't much-it's only everything."
The members of the group get a
chance to display their musical
ability in "As Good As You've
Been To This World." Actually,
I'd rather they skipped the instrumentals and got right to Janis.
The philosophy of the song is that
whatever you put into your life,
however you treat other people,
as good as you are to this world,
"it's gonna want to be right back
to you."
The second side is launched by
"To Love Somebody." Janis takes
this song and scrubs it with lye

T h e traditional college rivalry

night w h e n , before a c a p a c i t y

Indians of Siena 7 2-63. This
victory b o o s t e d State's season
record t o 10-6 a n d m a r k e d t h e
fifth
victory for Albany over
Siena in their last six meetings.
Siena came into t h e game w i t h
all five starters averaging in d o u b l e
figures. Albany e m p l o y e d its usual
tight man-to-man defense with
Steve Sheehan guarding high scoring center Bob H e r m a n n a n d J i m
Masterson covering Siena's fine
guard Mike S e y m o u r . By preventing Hermann from receiving t h e
ball, Sheehan and s u b s t i t u t e center Mike Hill limited t h e Siena star
t o just four p o i n t s , in the first
half, all of t h e m from t h e foul
lin
When Sheehan picked u p his
fourth foul early in t h e .second
half. Hill c o n t i n u e d t h e excellent
c .erage on Hermann. S t a t e was
jrced t o switch

defensemidway t h r o u g h t h e second half because its big m e n
were in foul trouble. H e r m a n n
finally scored three field goals at
t h e e n d of t h e game which gave
him eleven points for t h e evening.
When asked t o c o m m e n t on
A l b n a y ' s success in s l o p p i n g Herm a n n , Coach Sauers said t h a t t h e
Siena center maneuvers like a
forward. He does n o t have t h e
inside moves that centers utilize
against smaller o p p o n e n t s . Herm a n n did n o t s h o o t well from t h e
o u t s i d e , thus his scoring o u t p u t
was well
below
his season's
average. Another fine defensive
j o b was turned in by Masterson,
w h o held S e y m o u r t o o n e field

Offensively, t h e Danes were
paced b y captain Jack A d a m s '
eighteen points. Sauers said this
was t h e best game A d a m s has
played in his t h r e e year varsity
career. Albany had three o t h e r
starters in d o u b l e figures: Jack
J o r d a n with sixteen, Masterson
with twelve, and Al Held with
eleven. Once again, t h e reserves

Athletics for Athletes
By M A R K G L A D S T O N E
College Press Service
Oakland, Cal.--(CPS)-- A revolution is simmering in college athletics.
And o n e of t h e m e n responsible for a n e w consciousness maong
a t h l e t e s is Jack S c o t t , a 27-year old former S t a n f o r d track man a n d
teaching collegue at t h e University of California. He is a u t h o r of
Athletics
for Athletes
( O t h e r Ways Book Dept,. E P O Box 1 3 1 3 3 ,
Oakland, Cal.)
S c o t t , in an interview at his Oakland h o m e , e m p h a s i z e d t h a t
athletes are h u m a n beings, n o t cattle. He c o n d e m n e d t h e
professionalization of a m t e u r athletics, the second class role assigned
t o Black a n d w o m e n athletes and the nationalist b e n t of t h e
Olympics.
In recent weeks S c o t t ' s UC Class, E d u c a t i o n H U D , " T h e Role of
Athletics in t h e U n i v e r s i t y - A Social Psychological Analysis," has
drawn n a t i o n w i d e a t t e n t i o n . Perhaps n o single class has received such
publicity since Eldridge Cleaver t a u g h t an e x p e r i m e n t a l course here
last fall.
Beside his leaching duties, Scott is working on a Ph.D. in e d u c a t i o n ,
and is writing a book with his friend a n d 196H O l y m p i c B o y c o t t
organizer Harry E d w a r d s .
Scott spoke m o s t articulately a b o u t t h e c o n n e c t i o n b e t w e e n
athletics and t h e military. He said "inter-collegiate athletics is the
training ground for s e c o n d lieutenants., a n d t h e colleges with t h e m o s t
comprehensive sports programs a r e the military a c a d e m i e s . . . "
In fact politicians m a y invoke s p o r t s , football in particular, t o
sanctify their policies. T h u s President Nixon is p o r t r a y e d as an avid
fan. California S t a t e S u p e r i n t e n d a n l of Public I n s t r u c t i o n M a x
Rafferty says "football is w a r . " R o b e r t K e n n e d y said " n e x t t o w a r ,
football is t h e best p r e p a r a t i o n for the American life."
So athletes c o m e t o be considered part of t h e status quo--"just
d u m b j o c k s . " a c c o r d i n g t o Scott. Yet S c o t t says t h a t w h e n a person is
called a name like " j o c k " he c o m e s t o fill t h e role almost inspite of
himself. Athletes b e c o m e s t e r e o t y p e d and " d e v e l o p hostility t o t h e
rest of the University."
Often w h e n a t t e m p t s are m a d e t o change t h e s t r u c t u r e of t h e
University coaches organize athletes against d e m o n s t r a t o r s , such as
was the case at Columbia a n d S a n Fransisco S t a t e . " C o a c h e s have
good reason t o fear such c h a n g e . " S c o t t says because they will suffer
m o s t from a change in university policy.
Many schools, like Cal., have separate physical e d u c a t i o n a n d
college athletics d e p a r t m e n t s . Scott wants b o t h t o be c o m b i n e d a n d
funded like any o t h e r college d e p a r l m e n t - o n the basis of a c a d e m i c
merit.
What h a p p e n s at Cal is that athletes arc given preferential t r e a t m e n t
as far as t u t o r i n g help a n d o t h e r s t u d y aids. S c o t t says, however, that
often an a t h l e t e will c o m p l e t e four years of athletic aligibility, hut
still he t w o years away from receiving a d i p l o m a

Squad.
Overall t h e team has a season's
record of 1-6. C o m m e n t i n g on t h e
team's rather disappointing rec o r d , Coach Brian Kelly p o i n t e d
o u t t h a t this is Albany Slate's first
full varsity year coming after only
one year of club c o m p e t i t i o n . O n e
major weakness is the t e a m ' s very
small size, only 10 swimmers a n d
t w o divers. Swimming, n o t unlike
long distance running, is a very
d e m a n d i n g sport which requires
many m o n t h s of intense physical
training. Since Albany does not
grant any athletic scholarships, it
is very difficult to achieve a
successful season
Especially h u r t a r e t h e Black athletes o n scholarship. Even is they
h a v e n ' t g r a d u a t e d the scholarship ends. Scott wants t o see t h a t
a t h l e t e s o n scholarship be guaranteed they will receive their aid until
t h e y gain their d i p l o m a s .
At p r e s e n t he says " i t is impossible t o be an a t h l e t e a n d b e involved
in normal s t u d e n t activities."
C o n c e r n i n g his class, Scott says, "This is t h e first course designed
solely t o e x a m i n e college a t h l e t i c s . " " T h e athletic d e p a r t m e n t , " he
a d d s , " h a s never h a d a dissident voice."
Since t h e athletic d e p a r t m e n t works closely with t h e administrat i o n , S c o t t was a l m o s t s t o p p e d from teaching t h e class which h a s
featured such a t h l e t e s a t Harry Edwards a n d former L.A. Rams tight
e n d Bernie Casey.
Officially professor J o h n Hurst is t h e teacher of t h e course because
S c o t t has n o c o n t r a c t t o teach in the University. Yet t h r o u g h being
involved in t h e class, S c o t t receives credit for teaching h e m u s t
c o m p l e t e before he receives his Ph. D.
A b o u t one-third of S c o t t ' s 100 pupils are varsity athletes. Many say
they are being criticise'/.ed by their coaches for taking t h e class.
And traditionally, according t o S c o t t , a questioning a t h l e t e signifies
t r o u b l e t o t h e coaches. Yet S c o t t is questioning o u t of a great love of
s p o r t s a n d a desire t o see college athletics free of professionalization
w h e r e every individual w h o wishes to can participate.

AN
INTERVIEW
by Barry Kirschner and Phil Cantor
It must be admitted that pre-conceptions of Erastus
Corning II have somewhat influenced our meeting
with the Mayor and the account you are now reading.
On campus, Mayor Corning is a symbol of urban
political corruption. His image is one of an
old-fashioned man, espousing an old-fashioned politics. Certain impressions have been changed in our
minds.
Erastus Corning is a politician. He is charming,
personable, Yale-educated, and possesses a handshake
any fraternity man would be proud of. He is vibrunt,
though 61 years of age, and a man of impressive size.
Despite signs of being restless, and a bit ill, Corning
stilt found time to answer questions for a complete
hour. To say he was delightfully entertained would be
an overstatement.
When questioning this man, one must realize that
his answers will not be those of another individual,
but responses of a man in an official capacity. Corning
knew why we were there, and the type of question wo
would ask. He preferred speaking on subjects where
there would be agreement (i.e. conservation of the
environment), rather than the more controversial
topics. Among his tasks was defense of his
administration's past and present policies, and in
fulfilling the role of defender, he was denied the
allowance of complete intellectual honesty.
Discussion concentrating on the recent Albany High
School incident was whore Corning was most hard
pressed in defending his policies. At one time he
claimed to be ignorant of the reasons for the outburst
until the day of the conflict. A later statement
confirming knowledge of an incident two days prior
to the flare-up contradicts the Mayor's first statement.
Concerning student demands, the Mayor said that
some were reasonable and even being implemented ut
the time.
•Zpantor
Corning defended every action taken by the school
and city administrations at Albany High. To charges
of police over-reaction, he commented that he had no
such evidence. When asked why the police were
ordered to remove their badges before the confrontation, Corning casually stated that it was "common riot
procedure," denying that its motive was to avoid
identification of individual policemen. Replying to the
question, "If there were cases of police over-reaction,
and if there were no badges worn, how would a
complaintant be able to know his assailant?", he
simply said, "Well, I don't know."
The position of the Mayor witli regard to
sending riot-equipped police was that there was an
illegal seizure of the High School auditorium, and the
possibility of a riot was foreseen, This differs
substantially from an account given by eyewitness Dr.
Harry Hamilton (Director of the Educational Opportunities Program). The principal of Albany High could
not be reached for comment on this matter. Whether
there was a serious disorder prior to police
intervention is a fundamental question which still
remains unanswered.
WITH
THE MAYOR
Following the incident, the Mayor promised a
complete investigation which is now pending.
Assurances were made that the findings of this
investigation will be made public "to the extent that it
is appropriate." (It should be noted that appropriate is
a very carefully chosen word in this context.)
Much of the discussion revolved around the
problems of the city of Albany. Many difficulties
besetNew York's capital city, and Mayor Corning feels
that these ills are characteristic of urban areas
throughout the nation. He blames these urban
problems on:
- T h e migration of high income families to the
suburbs
—The influx of low income families to the cities
—The higher cost of education in low income areas
—The greater incidence of crime in low income
areas
—The lack of change in the antiquated political
structure of the cities
- T h e inflation within the U.S.
Housing is among the most critical of Albany's
problems. While bids are now being taken on a few
housing projects (including one in the Pine Bush
section, just across Fuller Road), the situation is likely
to remain critical. Discussing a movement of business
from the downtown area, Corning noted that an
exodus to suburban shopping centers is presently a
nationwide phenomenon. Should downtown Albany
become an attraction Tor new establishment'-., the
Mayor points out that adequate highway access and
parking in the area is a necessity.
student, saying that too much has been done in the
name of progress. He recommends a re-definition of
progress—"maybe we're going to have to change the
entire economic system."
According to the Mayor, everybody (including
President Nixon) has gotten on the 'conservation
bandwagon.' He firmly believes that this movement is
not a fad, indicating that many (including Nixon) have
no real conception of the full impact of the
environment problem. Now that people have become
interested in the environment, the problem is to get
these people to take effective action to combat the
problem. Corning hopes that independent groups
fighting to save the environment will become more
effective, mentioning that "A lot of these women's
club* don't know their aw from a hole in the ground."
#
Along with live other mayors, Corning is in the 'Big
Six City Mayors' Coalition*. Corning said that the
coalition was begun in I96H to lobby lor '.icreased
appropriations for education. This year it was
expanded to include all municipal subjects. The
coalition is a loose arrangement formed primarily due
to the feeling of municipal governments that they are
being short-changed by the state. The Mayors' alliance
has initiated bills in the Legislature which it hopes will
somewhat re-order the state's priorities. Corning made
it clear that this was not an organization involving
itself wilh party politics.
Another area the Mayor was questioned on was the
Mall Project. While it is the state which is paying for
the project, it is using Albany County as an agent to
purchase bonds. Since the credit rating of New York
Slate is better than that of Albany County, this means
that the state is paying additional funds due to its
financing of the project through the locality.
According to Corning, the slate is doing this because
Governor Rockefeller could not have gotten the funds
from the electorate in a bond issue, nor the
Legislature, for so expensive a project benefiting only
one city.
Concerning the subject of University-Community
relations, the Mayor was enthusiastic. Coming said,
"The co-ordinating agency for a ureal many years was,
you might say, President Collins and I because we
worked very closely throughout his entire time as
President." The University is growing more important
to the community than ever, since the city population
is decreasing while the student body continually grows
larger.
Tile environment was the Mayor's favorite subjects
dealt with "l don't want to minimize the importance
of the war and the importance of life in the cities, but
on the other hand, if we don't clean up a lot of the
other things in our environment, it isn't going to make
much difference." ilis sincerity on this topic is
unquestionably real, and he puts himself in the
forefront of the conservation movement. When
looking at the destruction done to much of our
environment. Corning sounds as radical as a college

Nickerson condemns Viet plan,
warns of similar crisis in Laos
by Bob Warner
Is there a machine in Albany? According to Mayor
Corning that depends on your definition of a machine,
lie said that the Democratic Party's control of the city
has been obvious for quite some time. Since 1921
Albany has had a Democratic Mayor and since 1928
the Democrats have dominated the Common Council
(Legislature). Contrary to rumor, Corning claims that
Democratic Party leader Dan O'Connell does not
exercise much control over the management of the
city, "nor has he ever indicated that he ever wa jd
to."
Supplementing his $12,000 a year salary as mayor,
Corning has positions within insurance and banking
interests. While his insurance agency does have
contracts with the municipal and county governments,
Corning denies any conflict of interest. The Mayor
also justified an Albany practice of waiving of
competitive bidding (about 160 times a year) on small
contracts, because of a practical need for swift action
in certain cases.
Having been Mayor for 28 years, it is obvious that
the man is very much a political animal. It is also very
true that he plays the game so many find rather
despicable. But he did not make the rules of the game.
The Democrats have been in power in Albany for over
•U) years and if local government is not as good as it
could be, do not blame it on the successful party.
Good government does not just happen. It is only the
result of concientious efforts on the part of citizens to
govern themselves well. The inadequacies of the
Albany government should not be blamed solely on
those with authority, but also on those who have
given them authority.

Eugene H. Nickerson, Nassau
County Executive, delivered his
first formal campaign speech for
t h e Democratic gubernatorial
nomination at the State University of New York at Albany after
announcing his candidacy yesterday afternoon. His speech was
entirely devoted to American policy in Vietnam and Laos.
First, Nickerson gave a brief
history of the Vietnam War, in
which he compared his role to
that of Nelson Rockefeller. He
accused the Governor of supporting the war since 1954. Nickerson,
however, in 1966, thought"that
the war was wrong, and must be
ended."
Nickerson went on to blast
Rockefeller's lobbying role for the
ABM, "which will drain the nation of $50 billion." Nickerson
believes that the Coventor is
hypocritical when he supports, a
$50 billion weapon, but at the
same time backs Nixon's veto of
$1 billion for education. He also
attacked Rockefeller's billion dollar Albany mall "that will not

Nickerson attacked the Republican administration in Washington as well. He called Vietnamization a cruel hoax and ' a sentence
of death for the people of Vietnam." Vietnamization is, as he
put it, a war plan, not a peace
plan, because the program is not
intended to stop the war, but
merely to continue it with a different army. Quite emphatically,
he called Nixon's program a repudiation of American ideals.
"Thieu and Ky rule over a military dictatorship" that swindles
the people of their country.
"When Ihe war is over," he said,

what the people of this war-ridden
land will have to claim. He called
Vietnam a profitable place if one
is a general. He also called for free
elections in Vietnam.
ihe second thrust of Nickerson's address was the rising inter*
vention of American troops into
Laos. He called Laos "another
stage upon which is acted out the
folly of big-power militarism. He
cited figures showing that between 1955 and 1963, $480 million was channeled into Laos as n
" d i s g u i s e d military mission"
called the Programs Evaluation
Office. Expenditures since then
have been classified as top-secret;
therefore, no official figures are
available, but the New York
Times estimated that we gave this
mission $250 million in 1969
alone. Nickerson thus justifies
calling Laos a "new ally" and a
"new commitment." "We have
created in Laos a new elite," he
said, " by supporting a select
group of right- wingers."
Nickerson tied our costly intervention in Vietnam and Laos to
the real enemies at home: "bigotry, apathy and poverty."
Candidate responds to
major campaign issues
by Al Senia
Nassau County Executive Eugene H. Nickerson launched his quest
for the governorship last night by denouncing the state's antiquated
abortion laws. "I'm for repeal of abortion laws," he said, "not reform
but repeal-and for leaving the decision up to the woman and her
doclor."
At two lively question and answer periods-one with the audience
and one private meeting with the press after his speech, Nickerson
spoke out on a number of important issues.
He pledged to support a minority group member for lieutenant
governor on his ticket but felt that "this person must arise from the
minority groups themselves and not be white-picked."
He declared that "the civil rights of the Black Panthers have not
been respected and went on to warn: "There have been great
injustices in this country that have to be corrected if it is to live or if
it is going to die." But he said he did not "support guns, or shooting,
or 'any meuns necessary.'"
He said he "did not support the legalization of marijuana," but felt
the penalties are "ludicrous" and should be reduced.
He supported the Koch bill in the Assembly calling for alternate
service for draft resisters and came out in support of a volunteer
army.
Nickerson went on to rap the Chicago conspiracy trial as "a
disgrace to the United Slates of Americu" and called for an
investigation. "American justice cannot survive under a system like
that," he said.
He labelled Governor Rockefeller's drug program a "farce" und "a
total failure" and pledged to seek a comprehensive plan lo treat the
growing problem of drug addiction.
