Chicago Morality?
Americans have always been obsessed w i t h a
mystical faith in ihc nilc ol law A national pride
has been built on ihc idea thai here in " t h e land ol
lite free and Ihc home ol the brave" we have a
scientific and rational method ol administering
justice lo all and collecting all injustices, The law is
Ihc written w o r d , and Ihc written word is G o d .
Everything else is minor.
The inability of ihc American nation lo make
moral judgments is directly related lo our infantile
trust in the law. Il there arc laws which can settle a
problem, il is thought to he unnecessary to inject
any moral complications. Our reliance on legalily
makes us all moral cop-outs.
The decision of the Chicago conspiracy trial has
been greeted with national relief. The system is
functioning, perhaps not well, hut all that is intporl.ini is lhal il docs function. The American legal
system has once again reached a decision,and again
the American public has ignored Ihc morality
implicit in this action. Sure Judge Hoffman is a fool
and could have conducted a better trial, but Abbie
and the rest o f them acted prelly foolish loo. Who
is lo judge? Will anyone judge?
A game has been played. A decision has been
reached. But. everyone is so hung up on the result
lhal Ihc means is in danger o f being forgotten. We
all need lo make a moral c o m m i t m e n t . I s o u r naive
faith in the LAW justified? Is legalitymoralily?
As Abbie Hoffman said as he left the courtroom
l-'riday, " I l ain't whether you win or lose: il's how
you play the game."

Complaints about the State
University Bookstore have not decreased with the onset of the second semester. To many students,
lack of books was at an all time
high. To better acquaint the University community with the problems that face them, the Bookstore has explained its procedures
and the difficulties which occur.
T e x t b o o k buying is a year-round process, not restricted to
those two weeks or so when booklines stretch beneath the Physics
Building. The textbook department orders, receives, and double-cheeks large book shipments for
the Fall, Spring and Summer semesters, an operation exacting
both full and part-time help.
Generally two months before
the new term, book orders are due
in the department. However, it is
stressed that the correct orders are
requested, a great demand considering the usual problems which
occur.
However, oven if a completely
accurate list is furnished, the pub-

delays for the bookstore as well as
for the student.
Adequate storage is probably
one of t h e greatest difficulties
faced. Estimated enrollments prepared by professors are often too
high, resulting in a surplus of text.
Excess books have to be returned
to the publisher, tying up bookstore staff in their re-packaging.
This also cuts efficiency in the distribution of books to students.
In order to prevent such problems, as well as to prevent such
problems, as well as to conserve
space, the personnel of the bookstore study previous enrollments
with regard to whether the books
h a v e been used b e f o r e , and
w h e t h e r it will be used again.
These factors are studied before a
text is ordered.
As in most businesses, there is
never enough staff. Extra help
cannot be brought in to cope with
the flood of work accumulating
just before the beginning of the
s e m e s t e r rush because this requires trained personnel. Familiarity with the system, special proc e d u r e s , and research problems
come with experience.
The textbook department also
is forced to concern itself with ordering books for professors and
special projects as well as ordering
for regular courses.
Dr. Hamilton
Continued from page 1
Hamilton, in his open letter to
Corning, went on:
"The black community of Albany does not need you to proclaim Martin Luther King Day. It
needs the snow and trash removed
from South Pearl Street...because
snow is still three feet deep on the
sidewalk seven weeks after the
snow came."
"The black community does
not need you to proclaim Negro
History Week. It needs to have
you stop controlling the school
board, and have an elected board
that will be responsive to the
people."

'The black community does
not want to hear you talk about
'letting justice take its course'
rather than having the charges
dropped against student:, at Albany High School."
Hamil ton
then
concluded:
"...Mr. Mayor, we need less control, less manipulation, less grandstanding, and more action. We
honor Mr. Burns and will work
with him. But we will not perform
at your circuses."
Burns is replacing John E.
Brown, who is white, as manager
of
the controversial
Thaeher
Homes. The housing units have
drawn fire from black official who
deemed conditions at the project
"horrible."
Among other things the State University Bookstore is expected to supply the University community with

G e n t l e m e n , t h e w o r d fuck has
been a r o u n d for a long t i m e . Far
longer t h a n t h e ASP. F o r a thousand years o r m o r e it has been
serving Englishmen and Americans
a d m i r a b l y in t i m e s of s u d d e n pain
and s m o l d e r i n g anger. T h e r e are
those w h o even suggest it is a
historical base for the present
Western love of a c r o n y m , being an
abbreviation for " F o r n i c a t e ! Under C o m m a n d of t h e K i n g . " T h e
suggestion, spread largely by Scots
and Irishmen, is t h a t t h e ancestors
of t h e English lacked even the
initiative t o engage in sexual intercourse, b u t had to be ordered to
d o so b y t h e King. W h o , t h e s t o r y
goes, was by no m e a n s adverse,
being - well- a heartily curious
fellow. Now P a r l i a m e n t has neglected to take this p o w e r away
from t h e m o n a r c h s , and should
ever a king with a keenfand
strong} sense of h u m o r accede to
the t h r o n e , o n e can imagine a far
finer h o u r for t h e little island than
the Battle oT Britain.
In a n y case, t h e r e is a queen in
England at this writing. S o the
proper spelling is n o t fuck, b u t
rather fucque. So if you gentlemen are apprehensive or nervous
at using fuck, t h e n use t h e presently correct spelling fucque. F o r
w h o could object t o a w o r d t h a t
falls o n o u r eyes with such F r e n c h
grace and elegance?
But please, d o n ' t write things
like, " w h o gives a I'---?", or " - - off." It is s o g o t h i c a n d hypocritical l o use spellings like that. T h e r e
is n o t h i n g wrong with fuck hut

I tried t o explain this t o t h e s e

t h e m got e x c i t e d a n d accused m e
of being a p a t h e t i c to the p r o b l e m s

it did not ask for t h e e n d o r s e m e n t
of those w h o favored s t u d e n t
choice of faculty When I finally
refused t o sign hi; p e t i t i o n he
threw up his m i d d l e finger in

embarrassed I d i d n ' t k n o w w h a t

Mr. E d i t o r , must w e " c o n c e r n e d " s t u d e n t s b e the victims of

The students petitioned Dean
Thome to call Bell and make him
aware of the situation. One student attempted to call Coach Bell
during the meeting, but he reported that a "scared" secretary
said he wasn't in.
Team representatives met with
Thorne and he took their names.
All but two teams were represented. The rest of the students decided to stay in the Ballroom until
the issue was settled. It was then
announced that there were also
volleyball games that night, but
they were quickly cancelled.
At the end of the conference,
the matter was still up in the air,
but Dean Thorne would investigate and discuss it with the Coach.
The students left with the feeling
that the gym would be theirs in
any case.
Strong, angry but opposing
pressures were exerted on the administration lute last week and
yesterday either to cancel William
Kunstler's speech or to authorize
the use of the university's largest
facility for the event, the gymnasium.
Approximately 700 students,
Tilling three-quarter., of the ballroom confronted Dr. Clifton
Thorne at yesterday's conference
with the demand that he exercise
administrative "fiat" and free the
gym.
On the other hand, citing the
violent demonstrations in Santa
Barbara, California, which followed a Kunstler speech, Assemblyman Neil Kelleher telephoned
Dr. Charles O'Reilly, vice-president, with the demand that the
speech be cancelled altogether.
Kelleher is the sponsor of a proposal to dismiss teachers who refuse to pledge allegiance to the
flag in classroom ceremonies.
While Dr. O'Reilly reaffirmed
the right of Kunstler to speak, administrative officials seriously
hesitated to free the gym.
"So far as we are concerned
Mr.Kunstler is a man with a point
of view invited by a student group
to speak on campus. The policy of
the Board of Trustees is very clear
and we will adhere to it."
What was not clear however,
was the attitude of the administration to the visit. "The institution
does not believe it should be
handled by administrative fiat"

Thursday in Gym!
William M. Kunstler, Chief
Counsel for the defense in the
Chicago 8 Conspiracy Trial will
speak at the Albany State Campus, Thursday evening at H:00
p.m.
Kunstler will definitely speak
but the location of the rally has
just been clarified. The gym is the
only building capable of holding
the thousands of peoplu oxpoctod
to attend but was being tuotl by
the intramural basketball teams.
The demands of the 700 students prosont at the pross conference resulted in tho release of a

"Wo havo boen informed by tho

The- rising tension came at a
time when radical activity has
been increasing throughout the
nation - much of it connected
with the Chicago Conspiracy trial.
Major demonstrations and violent
confrontations occurred last week
in Washington DC (Watergate),
Chicago, Boston, Madison, Wisconsin, Los Angeles, Chapel Hill,
North Carolina, San Jose, Santa
Barbara, and Buffalo.
It often seemed at Monday's
press conference, that the administration was either entangled in
its own beauracracy or that it was
giving in to the demands of Kelleher and conservatives of the Albany Community.
The New Left Organizing Committee and Student Mobilization
issued a joint flyer Monday morning charging the university of the
latter — of attempting "to make
the impact of Mr. Kunstler's visit
as negligible as possible."
In an interview Friday, John
Kaufman of the NLOC, vowed
that if Kunstler's speech were
barred from the gym, students
would "tear this place apart." The
anger and disgust almost universally displayed at one press conference gave added impact to these
words.
"A lot of students will be angry, especially those who can't get

Finer food
for Frosh
by J.P. Prendegast
Two hundred and fifty residents of Alumni Quadrangle, disgusted with the inferior meals
served to them by Food Service,
boycotted the Wulden dining
room Saturday night.
They ate their dinners instead
in the dining room of Brubacher
Hall, the graduate student dining
area. They carried signs and chanted "Good food...not shit!"
A meeting was immediately arranged with Mr. Corbiey of Food
Service to discuss the situation.
Six representatives—Lenny Moss,
Tony Chen, Al Senia and Lenny
Marks (the four originators of the
action) along with Mat Heyman
and Phil Chansky (president and
vice-president of Walden Council)
made a list of eight demands.
They wore:
1) Two fresh choices of meals
every day for dinner (with the option of serving leftovers as a third
choice).
2) No recooking of leftovers into fresh meals. (This was in response to the fact that leftover
meat and sausage are often used as
"fillers" for such meals as la•agntt.)
3) The wearing of hair nets by
female food servers.
4) Fresh desserts.
5) Posted menus.
6) Both food lines open on
weekends
