Dear Sirs:

itself o n this c a m p u s . T h e anticapitalist rot s p o u t e d by certain
" r e v o l u t i o n a r i e s " is caste to hell
so t h a t in t r u e capitalistic fashion
the c o m b i n e d sum of $ 4 0 0 0 was
paid t o bring Kunstler a n d Buchwald " t o t h e s c e n e . " In a d d i t i o n ,
Central Council unilaterally
decided to pay the g y m rental for
Kunstler. $ 4 0 0 0 + was paid so t h a t
6000+ people could " S E E " t h e
magic lights e m a n a t i n g from t h e
famous m e n of our era.
Was Kunstler's speech so very
excellent
or significant?
The
March 7 , 1 9 7 0 New Yorker magazine carried an article which stated everything Kunstler did, and
more, a n d it only cost 5 0 c e n t s .
You saw Kunstler raise his fist,
b u t d o you see the children w h o

Dear Editors,
This letter is in response to the

ASP t h a t m a d e specific references
t o the R h e t o r i c a n d Public Address D e p a r t m e n t and to several
individuals in it.
I would first like to c o m m e n t
on the article " T h e Gerry Wagner

implied that Kathleen Kendall,
a "line; chairman of the RPA d e p t .
was the decision maker for all
departini'iil business It' this were
true (and M is n o l ) , why would

c o m m i t t e e a n d before a n y b o d y
says it does n o t exist, I think they
should get the facts! Mrs Kendall
has n o t d o n e a w a y with o u r comm i t t e e . T h e RPA faculty as a
whole has mixed feelings a b o u t
t h e s t r u c t u r e of that c o m m i t t e e ,
and we are in the process of res t r u c t u r i n g it a n d / o r forming a
new c o m m i t t e e t h a t w o u l d give
the s t u d e n t s an even b e t t e r and
m o r e informative position as to
t h e affairs in the RPA d e p t .
I h o p e this letter helps s t u d e n t s
c o m e t o the realization t h a t Lhey

T o the Editor:
Despite w h a t Jackie S c h w a r t z
would have us believe, RA's and
directors are not
power-hungry
p e o p l e . It b o r d e r s o n the a b s u r d
for the ASP t o p r i n t such a
libelous generalization m a d e by a
person w h o has never lived in a
University residence hall.
If S c h w a r t z would take t h e
trouble t o sit d o w n and talk with
s o m e directors a n d RA's, and
listen to w h a t t h e y ' r e saying, he
might be in for the p r o f o u n d

only sees and hears w h a t he w a n t s

T h e r e are m a n y u n f o r t u n a t e
c o n s e q u e n c e s , b o t h for RA's and
their fellow s t u d e n t s , of t h e University's drug policy. Yet everyo n e seems to be losing sight of the
fact t h a t o n e of the p u r p o s e s of
t h a t policy is to prevent the presence of undercover
narcotics
agents o n c a m p u s . What w e are
saying t o the police is: this is o u r
p r o b l e m and we will h a n d l e it
until drugs are actually f o u n d
there we will turn the s i t u a t i o n
over t o y o u . If t h e University
followed a policy of c o m p l e t e

T h e cessation of classes is intended In free all m e m b e r s of t h e

meaningful dialogue.
The dialogue is planned as a

according t o Jeff Wasserman, o n e
of the leaders of the activity. Free

b e t w e e n representatives of the entire University

for
the
i m p r o v e m e n t of our present situation. Security police, m a i n t e n a n c e
personnel, secretaries, as well as
s t u d e n t s , teachers and administrators are strongly urged to partieipa to.
The library is the tentative location of the discussion since it

since m a n y diverse groups can go

of this easy a t m o s p h e r e is to

A s e c o n d table will be set up t o

Eventually these suggestions will

Checks
by Kathy Eckerle
The Faculty-Student Association has recently changed the
check cashing procedures at the
campus Center. This was due to
the financial loss suffered because
of the return of many "bad"
checks. Most of the checks were
made from one student to another
from checking accounts that were
closed or had insufficient funds to
cover the checks.
Under the new procedures,
only checks under a fifty dollar
maximum limit, instead of the
usual limit of one hundred dollars,
will be cashed. Also, the check
cashing service will no longer
accept three-party checks.

There is infinite talk about the
critical state of the environment.
April 22nd may be just some
more talk, or it could be an
environmental teach-in. A leach-tn
goes beyond talk. PYE has been
working on the teach-in and hits
developed the following goals:
1. There is a tremendous lack of
public awareness concerning the
environmental crisis. The teach-in
shall involve the people in the
state of the world.
2. Concerned people need information. The teach-in will be a
start towards making information
available to people so decisions
affecting the environment may be
made intelligently.
3. Concerned and informed
people need courses of action.
The teach*in hopes to provide
some courses of action by which
people may affect a change in that
which presently destroys our qua!-*
ity of existence.
Thursday, March 10 there will
be a meeting in L. C. 2.'! to get
people to work on the teach-in.
People with beautiful ideas and
strong bodies please attend,

Beechwood Ageing is so hot,
why don't you tell everybody what it is?"
So we will.
First, it isn't big wooden
casks that we age Budweiser
in.
But it is a layer of thin
wood strips from the beech
tree (what else?) laid down
in a dense lattice on the
bottom of our glass-lined
and stainless steel lagering
tanks. This is where we
let Budweiser ferment a second time.
(Most brewers quit after one fermentation. We don't.)
These beechwood strips offer extra
surface area for tiny yeast particles
to cling to, helping clarify
the beer. And since these
strips are also porous, they
help absorb boor's natural
"edge," giving Mudweiser
lis finished taste. Or in other
words, " a taste, n smoothness and a drinkability you
will find in no other beer at
any price."
Ah yes, drinkability. That's

Multi-Talented John May all
Here For Week end Concert
John Mayall is an artist.
This seemingly unnecessary
statement of the obvious is nevertheless a fitting one with which to
begin any evaluation of Mayall,
and of his unique role in modern
musical history.
Mayall probably would have
succeeded in any aren of the arts
that might have attracted him.
After studying his album design
and art work, he went to art
school, took a college course in
design and worked at advertising
agencies doing typography and
graphic design.
He launched his first gorup, the
Power House Four, in 1955. It
was not until 1963 that he took
the big plunge, went to London
and formed the original Blues-

before he make any substantial
dent in the fiercely competitive
field he had resolved to conquer.
In the years since then, his
record (and his records) can rightly be claimed to have kept pace
with or surpassed the achievements of any of his contemporaries. He has displayed his gifts
not only as a guitar, piano, harmonica, tambourine and mouth
percussion expert, but as a composer, lyricist and talent scout.
Among the blues and jazz soloists
who have passed through the
Mayall ranks is Eric Clapton, who
with Mayall in 1 966 set a pattern
and started a whole generation of
modern blues guitarists.

John Mayall deserves charter
membership in the angel's club.
For too many years than he
would care to remember, Mayall
has inhabited a unique no man's
land and that is the music business.
Mayall is recognized as one of
the prime forces in the British and
American blues renaissance. Under his tutelage of many of
England's most prominent blues
musicians developed styles that
were to eventually propel them
into a limelight that Mayall himself had never experienced. Eric
Clapton, Graham Bond and Peter
Green are alumni of various editions of Mayall's Bluesbreakers
and it was with a touch of irony
that Clapton remarked recently
that "John Mayall is finally getting the recognition he deserved
all along."

Benefit Concert Held At The PAC
Is Deemed A Social Success
by Beth Jo Knapke
Last Friday and Saturday night
the University Concert Band provided the most exciting performance of talented young men and
women in order to raise money
for the underpriveleged children
of Albany and the Capital Area.
The program opened with three
selections which helped the
audience recognize the quality of
good musicians. The last of the
three sparkled with a glorious
combination of dancers and rock
selections from Hair. This immediately made the audience respond with clapping to the music
<rtid the whole theater was filled
with spirit. The selections following the opening were charming as
well as mysteriously beautiful especially "In the Manner of Handel" and "In Taberna Quando
Sumus" which consisted of a
splendid blending of voices and
percussion. Findlay Cockrell and
Dennis Helmrich played magnificently, and the presentation of
two players made Chopin even
more appealing. The finale of singers, who made the selections
from West Side Story, My Fair
Lady, Carousel, and the Sound of
Music so very like the originals,
was highlighted with the somber,
resounding voice of Marjory Fuller who approached each peice
with freshness and versatility.
The program was very well organized with the changing of sets,

Talent Call
* * * * * * * * *
Because of the increasing
amount of talented students on
campus, the Ad-Hoc Committee
for the promotion of Student
Talent was formed. The purpose
of this committee is to act as a
liaison between organizations and
talented students and student
groups seeking jobs to perform on
and off campus.
The idea to form the commit
tee came from the tremendous
response of the students who performed in the 1969 Telethon. In
addition, the Student Activities
Office receives several calls during
the week requesting a wide variety
of talent. Besides off-campus re
quests new on-campus program
ming will result in a greater de
mand for student performers.
If you are interested, pick up an
information sheet in Campus Cen

simple, to everyone understandable, thought. Because acting,
from time immemorial, is the very
drive for the seemingly endless
survival of the animate, which or
who, is still alive now; and because acting had always been a
resultant product of an ultimate

moment - that is why the emphasis ought to be placed equally on
timeliness, which in the case of
acting is being expressed by the

ignorance, the dangers of the total
destruction and extinction of an
individual human being.
One, who is most distinguished,
is the Soviet scientist Andrei D.
Sakharov, being known to the
world's public, as the father of the
hydrogen bomb, and as one of the
Russian intellectuals resolutely
opposed to the totalitarian and
imperialistic, policy of the Soviet
leaders. He is the author of a book
entitled Progress, Coexistence and
Intellectual Freedom, a book
which has never been published in
his own country. His manifesto,
addressed to the entire mankind,
is indubiously more that simply a
criticism; it is an amendment; a
premise for avoiding a disasterous
end to life.
The book was published in
196H by the New York Times
Company. It contains a brilliant
introduction, afterwork and notes
by Harrison E. Salisbury.

May all's keen ear was re
sponsible for the selection, in
1969, of three exceptionally wellqualified sidemen for his group:
John Mark on acoustic finger style
guitar, Steve Thompson on bass
guitar, and the remarkable Johnny
Almond, who plays at least a
dozen instruments, most notably
saxophones and flutes.
May all's oblivion was not total
for although general audiences
were unaware of his contribution,
this was not the case with his
fellow musicians. Wherever he
went he was mobbed by his peers
and his habit of jamming with
whomever was "in town" led to
tales of after-session sessions that
are unequalled. All this is is the
past, however, as John Mayall is
no longer a per former whose

Co-op Power
To the editors:-.
What is Student Power? Cooperation and respect among the
members of this university? If so,
will the 50-60 representation advocated by the self-acclaimed Student Power groups make the administration respect the students?
I think notif. The administration
may grant such a representation
on all committees but will do so
in the context of giving a baby his
pacifier.
Power is influence - ability to
have one's views respected and
interests furthered. To gain it,
however, one must have an awareness of being, a knowledge of true
needs. Student Power at SUNYA
doesn't know itself, for it lacks a
soul. It receives little support
from the student body because*
those who have cried out for it in
the past do not appeal to the
majority, and so the majority remains uncommitted to the concept (n.b. uncommitted not apathetic.
Student Power is not Student
Pacification, but student respect.
Student Power can't be themselves and before any action is
done the students must realize
that their interests are at stake.
Student Power is not "Power to
the People" but "Power to all the
People." Student Power is cooperation of all the members of
this university in the improvement
of the quality of education.
Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Charles Sullivan
Air Demands
To the Editors:
WSUA would like to indicate at
this time that we support the list
of twenty-one demands determined by the Student Coordination Committee...as well us
the central issue of self-determination by students. We feel that Lhe
demands with only one possible
exception {number five which the
State Government controls and
which the University can do
nothing about) are well thought
out and will be workable with
some effort on the part of administrators, faculty, and students.
There are four of the points
which we feel are especially important to all of us—Number one
says the-definition of a University
Department is to include student
majors as well as faculty. Since
the quality of education of a
student for his time here at the
University is governed for the
most part by his major department, this demand, we feel, will
help to guarantee students the
best possible education.
Number seven, that Campus
Security officers undergo inservice training programs to make
them more sensitive to current
student issues und that students
would bo involved in campus security muking seems a reasonable
request and one which might
make security considered moro of
a service and less of a nuisance...
Thirteen calls for investigation

Awakened
To the Editors:
The cries of "Student Power"
and "Power to the People" over
the last few weeks at S.U.N.Y.A.
have successfully ended my state
of limbo in the apathetic "Silent
Majority." The forces active on
this campus in favor of reform
have stimulated in me a renewed
sense of responsibility to the true
priorites of a university education.
It is tragic, however, that my
response to these stimuli is totally
negative. The reforms I might
wish to see implemented have
been forsaken for petty policies
and a mere disguise for a host of
irresponsible actions.
I often question exactly whom
the Student Mobilization Committee et. at. represents? As far as I
have perceived, they represent a
small number of students interested in promoting or better superimposing a value structure on a
student body who never asked for
reorientation. Gerard Wagner is no
issue here. He never was. He only
represents a tool by which the
"New Left" can better poison the
a t m o s p h e r e with their persuasions.
Exactly who do they fool in
requesting fifty-fifty representation in administrative positions?
Not only are students unqualified
to be administrators, they, over a
course of time, would resort to a
similar system in present use regarding the tenure of faculty. A
small group of students in such
positions would have no more
insight in all the issues involved
than does the Administration at
present. What is needed is not a
political restructuring but a system of new priorities of university
education. It is conceded that the
present system is harmful for the
student in pursuit of knowledge
since the faculty is bound by
bureaucratic trivia, yet it is absolutely essential that such change
be effected only through responsible actions.
This nation has existed for approximately 200 years on the
theories of compromise and social
contract. The nation only stopped
functioning when reason broke
down and a series of demands
became our working criteria. The
same analogy will be drawn to this
Univeristy if the true representatives of "Student Power" allow a
minority of students to pressure
their lives under the threat of
strike and other irresponsible activities. The nineteen broken windows in the Administration Building are far from effective persuasion. Those responsible have polarized the issue into two camps
where effective dialogue is becoming a fleeting reality. Far more
serious is the inconvenience and
infringement on the rights of their
fellow students, those who they
claim to represent.
Never will their point of view
be equated with democratic action. It is minority rule without
respect whatsoever to the wishes
of the majority. Perhaps if the
"New Left" took the time to
evaluate the position of their
"compatriots," they might find
themselves well advised to wave
their battle flag outside foreign
soil.
Respectfully yours,
Roy Steven Lewis
After being quoted in the
March 10 issue of the ASP, I feel
an explanation regarding my statement (ie. "students are treated
like shit") is in order.
Students, in my opinion, mean
very little to this or any other
university. The fact that they do
not have the letters phd following
their names and can not claim to
be distinguished lecturers in one
field or another relegates them to

Crap
To the Editors:
In response to a letter by M.
Gilbertson, which was an attempt
to uphold the high esteem of RAs
and dorm directors, I rely on the
opinions of those students who
are residing in our dorms. The
RA, and directors may not be
ego-freaks, they' re pigs. To turn
in a fellow student for such bullshit as the present drug laws deserves reprisal from the victims.
As far as the other crap in the
letter is concerned, how does he
know whether or not I have ever
lived in the dorns? Personal experience supports my view that an
RA who is trusted by students is
the rare exception to the norm.
I also recommend that Gilbertson read some more Ma reuse before he bastardizes such terms as
"one-dimensional."
After the recent actions of
dorm staffs on campus, I can see
that if the job of an RA is to
prevent the presence of narcs or
campus, (there aren't any?) theii
actions are much more ludicrous
when they lead students to believe
that they are to be trusted, and
then turn them in to the cops
when they are confided in!
This is undoubtedly a case of
lack of self-determination; resident students should run their
own lives even inside the dorms,
without fear of searches, seizures
or snooping pigs disguised as RAs
and dorm directors.
To the "Student Body "(Wherever
it may be),
It's SO easy to understand!
It's because of white liberal
rhetorics like me who talk and
talk but never move - because
we're so goddam comfortable on
our split-level asses.
It's becasue of wall-frat-street
types who yell "Bring in the state
troopers if they get violent," and
"Fuck it! If they don't like it,
kick 'em the hell out!"
It's because of level headed,
good law-abiding WASConservatives who mouth, "Nobody
WANTS war, but sometimes you
just have to ..."
BOOM!
I have been to two major meetings concerning the relations between "student body," faculty
and administration. Both meetings
turned out to be hours spent
shouting, clapping and interrupting, and the only concrete
conclusion I can draw from them
is that there is no such thing as
the "student body." I would have
gotten to the point they are now
in is that we as students are not a
united group capable of initiating
and implementing action in our
own behalf.
So whose voices have we been
hearing in this educational vacuum? Well , we have Student
Power, the New Left, Student
Mob., Women's Liberation Front
and Black Power to mention only
a few.
Where is the Student Body?
How can students negotiate with
or make demands upon an administration if they as a unity are not
a reality? If we cannot address
ourselves as a student body to the
problems we as students now face,
there will be no one to maintain a
dialogue with the faculty and administration, and, just as important, no-one to shoulder the
responsibility that a 50% student
•iay in the workings of the University will incur.
I say to those students who are
splintering any real efforts toward
communication that no matter
what group your sympathies lie
with, you are first and foremost
students. May I suggest that those
who insist upon viewing themselves in the current situation as
representatives of a particular concern and not as students are supporting the administration by incapacitating the only real offensive at our disposal, united effort
by students interested in their
position as students.
If there ever was what may be
termed a Student Body at this
University, there is not one now.
What we need is one voice that
can say to the administration, "I
want" and, through the power of
its individual students joined together, guarantee that it will be
heard. Will we get it?

Editorial JComment
The Confused Majority
Why do the vast majority of students feel that
they have every right to either pack up and go home
Wednesday afternoon or spend Thursday and Friday
catching up in their reading, writing term papers, or
sleeping blissfully until noon .'The reasons appear to
be twofold.
First, the rapidly changing events confused the
majority of students. Central Council gave legitimacy to a Thursday strike; an illegitimate group of
approximately 600 students on Sunday night voted
for a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday moratorium and
a Thursday strike; University Senate and Central
Council closed the school for meaningful dialogue
on Thursday and Friday. Well, how many groups
can close one university and what the hell is going
to happen on Monday after the two days of
dialogue?
Second, the majority of students see very little
reason to close down the university • the 21
demands provide a very shaky basis. Is the function
of a university to provide a babysitter service for
children while their "liberated" mothers attend
class? Can in-service training ever make the campus
security officers more sensitive to current student
issues? How can a demand for 50-50 on ALL
committees be logically presented, when so many
committees are presently crying for student involvement?
Meaningful dialogue also provides a shaky basis
for a university shutdown. A majority of students
had enough dialogue al Sunday's meeting. They are
tired of meetings with no organization, no leadership, and seemingly no purpose.
If you are a member of the confused and
disgusted majority, we can understand your desire
to take full advantage of the shutdown, but we urge
you to remain on campus. Go to the meetings;
attend the dialogue. If you still feel justified, climb
up the water tower and with all the strength left in
your weary bodies, scream "BULLSHIT."Like in
Jericho, then a few walls may tumble down.
G.G
Where We're At
One thing obvious in viewing the events of the
past few days is that there is no viable revolutionary
youth culture at Albany. People are deluding
themselves if they view the events of this past
weekend as part of a pattern of radical activity.
There won't be a revolution here for a long time.
Even a strike is doubtful.
It is important to know what we are doing. There
are no simplistic answers. We are all confused. The
problem which has been the underlying cause of all
tension the past few years remains-what is the
extent of student involvement in deciding the
functionof a university? Hopefully, this Thursday
and Friday will stimulate communication and
understanding; elements which are too often
by-passed in a center of learning.

Central Council's so-called great
step forward Wednesday night was
perhaps one of the most dangerous political moves that body has
ever undertaken. In fact, it WHS a
step backwards as far as the democratic process was concerned.
Let's examine the nature of the
bills first. The bills were drawn up
to make sure that Central Council
maintained its position as the
voice of the students. Council
members felt that their power was
going to be circumvented by the
"student power" movement. What
was forgotten was that the student power movement makes up
an extremely small portion of the
total University. What about the
rest of the students? They were
not even consulted as to their
views. This is inexcusable.
The first bill was concerned
with 50-50 student-faculty membership on various committees in
each department of the University. This sounds great, but it has
been almost impossible to find
students to serve on existing committees (as wus brought up at the
meeting). What makes council
think this will change overnight?
What if there were enough students to man the committees?
According to the bill, we are
responsible for interviewing faculty members. Are we* qualified to
do this? Are we to be paid for this
service? Where do we find the
time to do it?
These questions should have
been explored. They couldn't be,
however, because of the timo factor, and the nature of the audience at the meeting.
The meeting did not lend itself
to a serious consideration of the
bills. Groups made noises to
drown out statements. Mikes were
grabbed from some speakers and
not yielded to others. From one
side of their mouths some were
screaming freedom, and from the
other side they denied freedom to
others. The people who spoke had
nothing really new or exciting to
propose. They said things to appease the crowd. Their thoughts
were for applause rather than
about the ramifications of the
bills.
Most of the speakers were poli-
otv up-coming elections. This was
also true of some of the sponsors
of the bills. Unfortunately we will
never really know whether it was
sincere belief or opportunity that
stimulated the sponsors.
The voting that ensued after
the one-sided deliberation was an
outrage to the electoral process.
Members of Council were scared
to vote " n o " because it was a roll
call vote and they felt threatened
by the mood of the crowd.
Statements were made to back
the so and so administrators
against the wall. Council had already been forced against the
wall. If you keep backing people
against the wall, sooner or later
they'll act in haste. A forced
decision will be regretted by both
sides of any dispute.
Central Council should not
have beon Intimidated by threat.
Perhaps the room should have
been cleared of observers. There
was no communication without
fear among most council members. This seems a little ironic
since one of the bills tried to
protect a man whose very Idea la
communication without fear.

Forty-five Faculty
Arrested at Buffalo
by Kathi Ott
Al least forty-five faculty members of the State University at
Buffalo were arrested Sunday after staging a peaceful sit-in at
Hayes Hall, the administration
building on the U.B. campus. Police, notified of the sit-in, relayed
an ultimatum to the faculty.
Leave the premises, or face arrest.
A vote of the faculty unanimously
resolved to remain, and minutes
later, the forty-five were arrested
on charges of criminal trespassing.
Prior to the arrest, the faculty
had released a statement which
read: "Peter Regan and his administration have defied the will
of Faculty Senate expressed Wednesday, March 11, for the immediate removal of police from
campus, thereby making themselves responsible for Thursday's
events. Hence, we the members of
the faculty will occupy Hayes
until the police are removed from
campus and the injunction is lifted.
"We are in sympathy with the
general principles of the strike and
will be fromuluting new structures

consideration of tho university
community.
"We call on all faculty members
to join us here."

faculty pleaded innocent to the
charges of criminal trespass and
were released in their own recognizance until their trial, the
week of Mav 1 1.

Regan has vowed the police will
remain to protect taxpayers' property as long as "disruptive conditions persist and until peace is
restored." It is acknowledged that
the 1100-400 police are receiving 1
free meal per H hour shift - free
because student funds are purportedly being used. The police
are being housed in Clark Gym,
cots and canteen provided, and no
one will comment on who is
fooling the $15,000 daily bill.
Students claim since the administration invited them, the adminstration is responsible - but the
administration may have control
of student funds through the faculty in the faculty-student association (FSA). The Public Relations
Office says it is up to the community or state to absorb the
costs and no university funds
would be utilized.
Student response to police on
campus was epitomized by a daylong "Pig Roast." Festivities
began at noon and continued until
eight at night with the arrival of
Jerry Rubin, Tuesday, March 10.
The police intervention not
only united student groups but
aligned some of the faculty
against the administration and
forced entire departments to take
a stand in relation to the strikers
or the administration. The Linguistics Department is allowing
any member to freely choose to
hold classes on campus, or support the strike and hold classes off
campus, or not hold any classes at
all.
Many departments after
lengthy meetings and belated
soul-searching have arrived at similar positions.

Dr. Sauers e x p e c t s no fewer than five players to g r a d u a t e to the

this year, b u t which got so little coverage through n o fault b u t m y

Points
To the E d i t o r s :
During t h e past few weeks, t h e
p r o c e d u r e of hiring and firing has
been s h o w n for its s t u p i d i t y . T h e
priorities seem t o be vague and
s o m e w h a t meaningless. 1 feel a
well defined p o i n t system s h o u l d
be initialed. I have drawn u p a
model which could be revised. 1
present it t o you for your ideas of
refinement.
T h e plan is based on a scale of
13 p o i n t s and has four s t a n d a r d s
of evaluation. T h e first area is
research. T h e research will b e
evaluated b y a panel of 5 0 % faculty and 50% junior and senior
majors in t h a t d e p a r t m e n t . This
will b e w o r t h 2 points.
T h e second criterion is publishing. Again, this will be evaluated
by a panel of 5 0 % faculty from
the d e p a r t m e n t and 50% s t u d e n t
majors in the d e p a r t m e n t . This
would also be w o r t h 2 p o i n t s .
T h e third standard is c o n t r i b u tion to the c o m m u n i t y . A d m i t t e d ly this is the vaguest p o i n t . An
instructor can, however, m a k e
c o n t r i b u t i o n s . His research a n d - o r
publishing c o u l d tie i n t o t h i s . His
availability o u t s i d e of t h e classr o o m c o u l d also b e a p a r t of h i s
c o n t r i b u t i o n . T h i s w o u l d b e decided b y t h e s a m e panels as described a b o v e .
T h e final criterion is teaching.
This w o u l d b e b r o k e n d o w n i n t o
t w o areas '• ability to c o m m u n i cate, and m o t i v a t i o n . A n evaluation of t h e i n s t r u c t o r b y t h e
s t u d e n t s w h o have him will b e t h e
deciding factor. T h e evaluation
will be t a k e n near t h e e n d of
every semester. T h e results will b e
evaluated a n d m a d e p u b l i c . F o u r
p o i n t s will b e given t o t h e o p i n ions of majors a n d m i n o r s ; 2
points for e a c h area. T w o p o i n t s
will be given t o t h e o p i n i o n s of
t h e o t h e r s t u d e n t s w h o are t a k i n g
t h e professor; o n e p o i n t will go t o
each area.
T o g e t h e r these add up t o 13
points:
2 research
2 publishing
3 community contributions
6 teaching majors and m i n o r s
others

T o the Editors
T h e r e is an issue in t h e air
which has n o t really as such been
b r o u g h t i n t o the forefront as
yet...It is t h e t e n u r e issue—Professors Wagner, T u c k e r , a n d Cadb u r y will n o t be returning t o t h e
University in the fall because of
failure t o gain tenure—tenure,
however, is based o n degrees and
a m o u n t of published material rather than o n the m o s t i m p o r t a n t
criterion of all, teaching ability—
This is w r o n g . Once granted tenure, a teacher has a job for life
w h e t h e r he can teach or n o t ,
w h e t h e r h e develops with the
times or not—This is also w r o n g .
WSUA feels t h a t the c u r r e n t
t e n u r e system should b e abolished
in favor of a s y s t e m of 3-year
renewable c o n t r a c t s . In this way,
the service of all professors would
b e evaluated periodically. Albany
State should n o t b e c o m e n haven
for teachers w h o c a n ' t teach—We
urge all s t u d e n t s a n d faculty members t o push for this reform.
Sincerely,
Keith Mann
Station Manager

Weekend Revolution
-Albany Style
Continued from page 1
before support from the University community could be counted
upon. Smith said that the only
reason that he attempted to chair
the meeting was to help "lead the
group out of their morass."
The demands themselves were
referred to as merely a "working
list," and that it was the "intent"
of each demand that had to be
considered and reckoned with.
Obviously aware of and fearing
the possible negative reaction to
the group, the steering committee
groped for a title. Strike committee was a suggestion; Central
Coord i nating Committee was
another. Usjng the two titles in
conjunction was also suggested.
The group broke into committees. A "Rumor Committee"
was formed in an attempt to
facilitate
communications
between the University community and the group. Others
' grouped in an effort to disseminate the list of 21 demands to
the students, and another formed
a phone committee which was
responsible for contacting the
faculty to inform them about the
Sunday night meeting that the
committee had decided to hold.
Sunday
Sunday night approximately
150 faculty members attended the
semi- closed meeting with the now
newly titled Ad Hoc Committee.
Paul Mann chaired the meeting
and opened by explaining the
procedure that would be used to
inform the faculty. He introduced
the ad hoc committee of 12
students, explained how the comm i t t e e had " a r i s e n
spontaneously" in an effort to deal
with the problems at hand; he also
filled the faculty in on the events
of the weekend.
He read the list of 21 demands
and prefaced each with a brief
rationale.
After the initial information
was given, the students o f Lllfi
committee were to move out
among the faculty to facilitate
dialogue. Dissension on this action
was voiced by two faculty members, but the small groups were
formed.
It was difficult to tell, but it
seemed that most of the faculty
present were in sympathy with a
Induction
Protest
Civil disobedience, aimed at
peacefully protesting the war and
the draft, will take place at the
Albany Induction Center this
Thursday morning. A small group
of people, backed by the War
Resisters League Action Center,
will sit down in the induction
Center doorway and await arrest.
This symbolic action has also been
backed by the Capital Area Peace
Center, the Non- Violent Action
Group, and the Clergy and Laymen Concerned About Viet Nam.
A rally has been scheduled for
Wednesday in support of the sitin. It will be held at 7:30, March
18, in the Dutch Quad Dining
Room. Speakers and entertainment will bo provided.
A final planning session for the
action on Thursday will be held
tonight, Tuesday, at 7 :.'J0 in Humanities 123.

University Change
Mass Meeting
Over 500 students were at the
meeting in L.C. 7. Factionalism
was evident among those students
and faculty who spoke from the
podium and the audience. The
authority of the Ad Hoc Committee was challenged. Paul Mann
was attacked at intervals for attempting to chair the meeting.
One student asked that "everything be started over since so
many factions were present." This
request met with a tired, negative
response. Another student said
"it's true we need action, but let's
decide what we're taking action
on."
Dr. Johnpoil from the Political
Science Department spoke. He
felt that "students and faculty
should run the school, and nobody else. The administration
should do its job, which is to
clean out the men's and ladies'
rooms." He said that "the school
should be run for education, not
for the greater glory of the administration. When the budget is
cut, it is the professors that leave,
not the administrators - administrators are falling over one another." His speech met with a resounding positive response.
Another faculty member, Dr.
Eckstein, was against the 50-50
proposal. In stating his reasons
why he said, "There is a lot more
work involved in these committees than the students realize, and
there are some areas that students
are not qualified to participate
in." He gave as an example for the
latter reason, "students can judge
faculty members already present
in the University, but they are not
qualified to judge new instructors
applying for positions."
Several .students and faculty members reminded the audience that
many of the committees that the
students wanted were already in
existence.They stated that the
problem was not one of making
provisions for student participation, hut one of finding students willing to participate.
Faculty Opinion
Jeff Smith wanted action. He
called for a week's stoppage of
classes. During this week the students would be informed about
the reasons why thev shouldn't go
to classes. He said that a strike
was more than a boycott - il
required more tahn a refusal by
some students to go to classes. It
required pickets and other means
to make all students realize why
they shouldn't be in classes.
At this point, a student said,
"coercion should not be used to
prevent those students who want
to go to classes from going." Dr.
Finder, from the Education Department said, "there is no such
thing as a University run by strike,
threat and violence."
A n o t h e r faculty
member,
Friedman, said, "the adminis-

tration doesn't feel anything is
wrong. Most students don't realize
that they're being screwed day
after day after day. Students are
needed on all committees. The
students must be spoken to first.
Let them feel it in their gut that
something is wrong." Another faculty member retorted, "close it
(the University) and then think."
Fred Cohen, Gerry Wagner's
legal advisor and an associate professor in the School of Criminal
Justice spoke to the group. He
appealed to the students fo focus
on one issue, and impressed upon
them the idea that the administration had been lying continuously.
Dr. Eson from the Psychology
Department spoke to the students
and said, "If you want to change
the University, close it by withdrawing rrom it." A student yelled, "You're a phoney liberal."
Eson retorted, "I'm not a liberal
at all."
Lieberman from the Sociology
Department, who had helped Lo
rephrase the 21 demands, said,
"You already have your committees. In the Sociology Department
nobody wanted to work." He also
raised the question of "Who will
be on what committee? How will
they get there?"
Demand Debate
Throughout the discussions and
after the bulk of them, several
motions were made and voted on.
What seemed to be the issue at
stake was whether Lo use the 21
demands or the demands from
Central Council or both. Dave
Neufcld wanted to return to the
Council demands. He gave the
demands as a 50-50 ratio of faculty to students on the Student
Conduct Committee, and on Faculty Senate and its councils, and
on the departmental committees
concerned with the hiring, firing
and tenure of faculty members. It
was also stipulated that on the
latter committee there be no veto
power over the departmental decisions,
Opinions vacillated between
what demands should be used.
Rich Ariza, addressing himself to
the 21 demands, seemed opposed
Lo them and stated "It is a question of what you do once you
have the power." He seemed to
intimate that the major problem
was to get the power, get on the
committees, and then all the other
demands would simply fall into
line after the power was had.
Moratorium
The final decision of the slowly
dwindling group was to decide
that Lhe fuLure demands and
prioriLies should be decided upon
aL a Wednesday night meeting. It
seemed to be felt that once the
University community was educated to the idea that there was
"something wrong" with the University, then a more representative
and knowledgeable group could
form the relevant and most pres
University
Prosecution
The question of amnesty is u
serious issue in light of lhe events
which occurred Friday evening.
The concern voiced by several
students might be considered in
view of the following statement
issued by the University
The University reaffirms its policies und regulations us stated in
Student guidelines 1969-70 in particular paragraph 1.2.<1. on page
18, 'The university, of course,
complies with all federal, state
and local statutes,' and No. 'I

page 21, prohibiting 'Unauthorized entry to or use of university
facilities or property, or removal
or destruction of such property.'
The university security office is
continuing its investigation concerning the events of Friday

night.
A "moratorium" on classes was
agreed upon for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and it was
hoped that during this period the
University community would be
educated. Wednesday night a
meeting is scheduled with its function already having been described
above. A strike on Thursday seemed to be the agreed upon inevitable event for that day. At the
close of the meeting, those students who wanted to help organize "liberation classes" for the
strike period were asked to come
forth.

at the Sunday meeting were modi

moratorium is still continuing until Wednesday, but classes at the
University will not be held on

faculty, the students, and the administration.

Arrest of Freshman Student
Questioned by Central Council
Central Council and about 300
students cross-examined President
Kuusisto and Vice-Presidents
Olson and Thome last night over
the arrest of Frank Borzilleri, g
freshman from Van Cortlandt Hall
who was charged with 'criminal
trespass' for his actions last Friday
night. The students and their student government continually
questioned these three men for
more than two hours.
Dick Wesley opened up the
dialogue by inquiring about the
status of present arrests and asked
about any future arrests. Thome
replied, 'There has been one arrest the investigation is continuing and no other arrests have
been made.' Dr. Thorne also admitted that it was Mr. Henighan
who had made the arrest.
Dave Neufeld asked why
Henighan didn't refer the case to
student judicial as lie had done in
the past with cases of theft, drugs,
criminal trespass, and forgery. The
reply was that they were not cases
that clearly warranted the use of
external court system.
A case was mentioned in which
$-10,000 worth of tax cards were
stolen from the University, and
yet the accused offender was tried
internally. The case pointed out
inconsistencies of the administration's values, a major theme of the
meeting.
Another major point brought
up by Dick Wesley was that the
arrested student seems to be a
'sacrificial lamb' so thai the Albany community might be pacified, Thus Wesley was accusing
the administration of letting itself
be pressured by people who were
nol members of the University
community into doing what was
not probably in the best interest
of this institution. Olson answered, 'We can't let things go
by. Lenny Kopp asked if the
ad m i lustration sanctioned the
arrst and if it will prosecute. Even
though Inspector Henighan was
the complaint signer it was SUNY
at Albany who was tho pro-
Another problem confronting
administration and students was
one of bad faith and mistrust
between both. The Administration, represented by Kuusisto,
Olson, and Thorne, said that if
students would pay for the
twenty-five windows broken on
Friday night, the Administration
would consider dropping charges.
The students however were not
assured of this. Some thought it
was a breech of faith, because
the Administration called for students to pay, yet it would nol be
obliged to take a stance in favor
of Borzilleri.
To further the student's suspicion of the Administration's
poor faith the students cited a few
contradictory statements on the
part of the Administration. Also
the Administration 'backed the
arrest' said Olson, and he will
subsequently "take full responsibility."
Lenny Kopp asked whether any
more undercover agents were on
Lhe case, to which Olson said
"Not at this point." And, in opposition to an earlier statement by
Olson, who said he was not under
pressure to arrest, he admitted
that he was influenced by "conservative friends" who called for
an all-out attempt to arrest all of
the offenders.
The final statement that gave
evidence of poor faith on the part
of the Administration was made
by Neufeld, who asked "who the
bell Henighan is to make value
judgments 1 '(as to which cases remain within tire jurisdiction of the
University).
Probably the most complicated
and controversial topic discussed
was ethical values. The Administration and the Albany Community seem to hold dearly the
rule of law; therefore the breaking
of windows and unlawful trespass
are morally and legally wrong
because they might lead to disorder. They believe the law must
be upheld because the legal code
is sacred, because if broken, can
only invite instability and possibly
anarchy.
Many s t u d e n t s ,
however
seemed to hold the freedom of
Frank Borzilleri above that of the
$ 1 0 0 0 property damage. As
Lenny Kopp said, "Is entering a
building such a great crime?"
Wasn't there a reason for his
action, and that the offense
should not be taken at face value?
by J. Stephen Flavin
and Martha Nathanson
Billed and sanctioned by tjhe
University community as two
days of'meaningful dialogue" interpreted as a condoned strike by
some or a legal holiday by others,
hundreds of students, faculty, a
few brave administrators and
'outside agitators" met in workshops of discuss the events of the
past few weeks and alternatives
available in M|rjH of those events.
The topics of discussion included "Legal Procedure-Amnesty for
Students." ' Elimination of University Requirements," "Experimental Colleges and Programs,"
" S a v e Your En v i r o nmen t,"
" Gerry Wagner Controversy,"
'Student as Nigger," "Racism on
Campus," and "Anarchy." No
room was scheduled for the dialogue on anarchy and people were
discouraged from attending.
CURE (Committee for Undergraduate Requirement Elimination) 'officiated" at their respective workshop. They explained
that a bill was pending before the
University Senate to eliminate
"general requirements" and one
year of Physical Education • Departmental requirements would
not be affected. "If this bill Is
passed, a department can still require a foreign language, but it
must be included in the number
of credits toward a major. Once
this bill is approved by the University Senate, the decision is final
and does not have to be approved
by the administration."
CURE is sponsoring an opinion
poll from April 15-17 to estimate
student-faculty support. "The aim
of abolishing requirements would
be to lift artificial restrictions."
After general requirements were
abolished at some schools, their
ratings declined. It was noted that
this has not yet happened at the
University of Buffalo.
The "Dialogue for Amnesty"
needed officiution. Most of the
students, 300 in steady attendance, 200 drop-ins, drop-outs observed a polarized shouting match
replete with outside agitatorsfrom U.B. and the administration!
The majority-though most remained silent- were in harmonious
accord, feeling that a change in
the University, society, and our
priorities were needed. However,
the means to produce desired
change met discord. "We need a
referendum to poll student opinion and strength. We will follow
the will of the majority! We want
change without the means employed at U.B."
"Does the administration run
around with a referendum everytime before they act? Referendums at Buffalo went 4:1 to
eliminate ROTC, 2:1 for open
admissions--the administration disregarded all referendums." Another student question "means to
the end" but expressed frustration
and vented anger resulting from
peaceful attempts at "going
through channels." "Look at the
results of our trying to save Gerry
Wagner t h r o u g h
channels.

This apparently puts him at
odds with Security. Mr. Henighan,
who is doing the investigative
work, gave the assurance that the
case is still open. 'We will not be
coerced into dropping the investigation,' be said.
Henighan was the Administration Building Friday night
when the window breaking and
'illegal entry' occurred. It is his
eyewitness accounts that are
forming the basis of the investigation. Contrary to the current
popular paranoic belief, there no

videotapes, newsreels, or pictures
being utilized to identify students.
Henighan was inside the building and saw about twenty students as they entered the locked
building. If he is able to identify
them by name, they will be arrested and charged with criminal
trespass,
Many of the rumors circulating
stem from the erratic performance
of o u r a dm 1 ni s tration. Dr.
Kuusisto apparently gave the distinct impression to at least one
Central Council member that no
ar.rsts would be made.
Meanwhile, the statements
issued to the media state that all
lawbreakers will indeed be prosecuted.
The first arrest arising out of
the incidents of the Administration building last Friday night
occurred Wednesday morning. At
{) A.M. security police walked into
Van Cortlandt Hall on Dutch
Quadrangle
and arrested Frank
Borzilleri, a freshman.
He was charged with criminal
trespass, a misdemeanor. He was
brought before Albany Police
Court. Judge Frank Tapedino for a
hearing and was later released in
the custody of bis court appointed attorney.
Inspector John Henighan of
Security informed the ASP that
'the investigation is continuing.'
But just how the investigation
would continue remained the major question last night following
an open meeting of Central CounERROR— These are not official police footwear, they are
cil. An offer of $1000 was made
to Dr. Thorne yesterday around National Guard Combat boots. The Albany Student Press was in error
noon. He accepted the pledge 'in to imply that the wearer was a policeman and we apologize to the
doctoral student pictured in our tuesday ASP for our mistake. We
good faith' and stated:
'I did not ask for the $1000. It have no evidence to infer that he is in any way involved with police
