T h e essential fact of this university is t h a t the great b o d y of

It is the primary function of Student representatives l» confront
the inadequacies of the educational system, of the bureaucralic

function of S t u d e n t Association to investigate and to effectively
take a stand on these issues.

either drastically overhauled or
abolished in favor of a b e l t e r
system.
T h e FSA p r o b l e m is two-fold:
the visible c o r r u p t i o n and its mini e d i a te ma ui fes ta lions
wh ic h
cause it t o be unresponsive to
s t u d e n t s ; and the broader issue of
w h e t h e r s t u d e n t s are best served
by a paternalistic, u n d e m o c r a t i c
b u r e a u c r a c y or by a genuine association c o n t r o l l e d by and for t h e
benefit of the faculty and s t u d e n t
body alike, for the present organization is c o m p o s e d neither of
faculty nor s t u d e n t s t o any significant degree.
T h e i m m e d i a t e pressing questions that s h o u l d be asked of FSA
pertain to the charges of nepotism, t h e p o o r wages paid t o
student food workers, a n d t h e
d i s b u r s e m e n t of net profits at the
end of each year.
T h e charge of n e p o t i s m stems
from the fact that four m e m b e r s
of o n e family work for FSA, two
on an e x e c u t i v e basis. (The n a m e
will be witheld for obvious reasons). This does n o t directly h u r t
s t u d e n t s , but it indicates u breach
of ethics on the part of F S A . It
seems, then, that the organization
exists for the benefit of its t o p
workers, and n o t for t h o s e w h o
s u p p o r t it financially, i.e. the students.
T h e wage issue, naturally, is a
bread-and-butter
fight
between
food service workers and F S A .
F o o d service w o r k e r s are paid
$ 1 , 6 0 an h o u r , which is 25 c e n t s
below the S t a t e m i n i m u m wage.
This is not illegal, however, since
non-profit institutional organizations are e x e m p t from the law.
But it is immoral that a university,
which c o m m i t s itself to intellectual integrity, pays its s t u d e n t
workers insulting wages.
T h e d i s b u r s e m e n t of FSA profits, which o n e year ( 67-6H ) w e n t
to the i m p r o v e m e n t of the Mohawk and Dippikill c a m p u s e s , is
an o u t r a g e . T h a t profits in the
range of $1)0,000 should not be
given either to food service or the
b o o k s t o r e so that prices might be
lower is uincomprehensible. T h e
Mohawk c a m p u s does not directly
benefit nearly one-half the student b o d y , while de flu ted meal
c o n t r a c t prices or b o o k s t o r e prices directly benefits all.
T h e a f o r e m e n t i o n e d three grievances, however, need only reform. But is t h a t all t h a t is needed
of FSAV C o u l d n ' t such an organization be s t u d e n t a n d faculty
o w n e d ? This is certainly an exciting prospect to e x p l o r e .
T h e creation of a student-faculty cooperative would solve the
question of paternalism vs, selfdeterminism. In other words, the
governance of FSA by those w h o
directly benefit from it would be
"a s o l u t i o n t o the o r g a n i s a t i o n
which exists n o V ; it is presently
u n d e r control of only the Presid e n t a n d t h e Vice- President for
M a n a g e m e n t and P l a n n i n g . Such a
hierarchy, which only t o k e n l y
recognizes s t u d e n t s , has simply
refused Lo relinquish its paternalistic role. " F S A k n o w s w h a t is
b e s t , " so therefore s t u d e n t s b e t t e r
keep their m i n d s on their work.
" F S A is in c h a r g e ; it has everything u n d e r c o n t r o l . "
T h e r e f o r e , simple reform seems
n o t q u i t e good e n o u g h , since Mr.
Cooley ( E x e c u t i v e Director of
F S A ) will never give up his decision-making power.
He will
always know what, is best, better
t h a t the lucky beneficiaries of his
beneficence.
Me has a p p o i n t e d an Assistant t o
the Director of S t u d e n t s Affairs
of FSA, which on the surface was
a good step. However, Peter Bluitt,
a senior, t h e o c c u p a n t of t h e
newly created position, no m a t t e r
how sincere he might he, serves at
the pleasure of Mr. Cot)ley. If
Blais pushes l o o hard or rubs
Cooley the wrong way, he is out
of a job. Blais c a n n o t really he
effect ive when he derives his
strength from his target, and not
from an i n d e p e n d e n t constituency.
FSA may or m a y n o t d e m o c r a tize itself from w i t h i n ; b u t if is
entirely possible t h a t S t u d e n t
Association will assume the powers and responsibilities of the
organization from w i t h o u t .

grievance was F S A ' s refusal to pay

lo pay the m i n i m u m wage despite
the fact thai il m a d e a 2% across
the board profit last year. Claiming t h a t FSA can easily afford
wage increases, the group unanimously moved t h a t t h e r e be a
" m i n i m u m wage for FSA workers. "

In a m o v e t h a t could result in

the United S t u d e n t G o v e r n m e n t

Israeli Calls for
Mid-East Harmony
by Liz Elsesser
J e w s a n d Arabs can live t o g e t h e r

w h o p r e s e n t e d his s o l u t i o n t o the
Middle Eastern p r o b l e m on Sunday in a lecture s p o n s o r e d by the
Peace I n s t i t u t e .
Here o n l y a s h o r t t i m e from
Israel, Avnery, a m e m b e r of the
Israeli Parliament, has offered his
peace p r o p o s a l in m u n y places,
Washington included. He is the

magazine and the a u t h o r oT hracj

T h e p r o b l e m as seen from the
Arab p o i n t of view (and interp r e t e d b y A v n e r y ) is t h a t Palestine has been A r a b for 1 3 0 0
years. S u d d e n l y the Jews c a m e in,
drove c o n t i n g e n t s o u t and took
over. T h e Jewish c o u n t e r p a r t is
t h a t they were o p p r e s s e d
in
E u r o p e a n d in need of a h o m e land. Because they were originally
from Palestine, t h a t was their
choice. T h e Arabs o p p o s e d this.
Tin* dialogue t h a t has been going
on until this point can best be
described as two people talking t o
themselves. Racial d e b a t e is impossible, as t h e o p p o s i t e side is
ignored. T h e r e is no military solution either, according to Avnery.
T h e war was inevitable. What
started with sticks a n d pistols, has
now graduated to rifles and missies. Avnery feels I hut nuclear
arms are n o t far away. As he sees
it, I here are two national movem e n t s in the same c o u n t r y anlicxisUng and claiming the land as

Peaceful c o - e x i s t e n c e has n o reality t o d a y . Even if an a g r e e m e n t
was w o r k e d o u t , e x p e r i e n c e indicates t h a t the two would soon be
at each o t h e r s t h r o a t s . T h e division i.f p o w e r in C y p r u s is a prime
e x a m p l e . Avnery finally s t a t e d
that the only s o l u t i o n , by process
of elimination, is to establish t w o
separate states, sovereign and ind e p e n d e n t . He lias a d v o c a t e d this
along with the U.N. since 1 9 4 8 .
One w o u l d be Jewish a n d o n e
would be Arab, with Jerusalem in
b e t w e e n as a s e p a r a t e e n t i t y , and

for greater supervision and care in

The report, written by T o m

and future of WSUA. It discussed
t h e p r o b l e m s involved in moving

has taken issue
with Professor
Brown's
controversial report on campus
security.
Specifically,
she objects
to the
section of Brown *s report
supporting the concept
of "selective
enforcement"
of campus laws. Her
detailed critique
follows...
T h e ASP, as usual, has served
a d m i r a b l y as o u r m o s t effective

the State University of New York
at S t o n y Brook has decided to
vote again on a ban on all Defense
Department-financed
research
which they narrowly passed last
spring during the n a t i o n w i d e student strike. The action, calling for
a mail ballot, which will take at
least Lwo weeks, came after Executive Vice President T.A. Pond
told the faculty that he could not

disregarded i t . " He had therefore,
he explained, approved two m o r e
research c o n t r a c t s from the Defense D e p a r t m e n t and e x p e c t e d to
approve two m o r e in the near

Last spring's action came after a

In particular, t h e c o n c e p t of
"selective e n f o r c e m e n t of l a w s "
requires very careful critical analysis. If this means w h a t it says, it
can be i n t e r p r e t e d in only two
w a y s : (1) some laws will be enforced, s o m e laws will be ignored;
or ( 2 ) some offenders will be
p r o s e c u t e d , some offenders will
not be p r o s e c u t e d . It is to these
Lwo issues t h a t I wish to address
myself.
Surely if, as Professor Brown is
q u o t e d as having w r i t t e n , "acad e m i c s " m a i n t a i n t h a t certain
laws are " s t u p i d , even i m m o r a l " (I
agree, i n c i d e n t a l l y ; s o m e of t h e m
are), then t h e p r o p e r role of academics is to e d u c a t e s t u d e n t s in
the principles by which those laws
can be c o n d e m n e d as " s t u p i d ,
even i m m o r a l ; " a n d to e d u c a t e
t h e m in the processes by which
laws can be c h a n g e d . E d u c a t o r s
are the first t o complain—rightly
so—about legislative infringements
o n a c a d e m i c prerogatives. B u t the
knife cuts b o t h w a y s ; by the s a m e
t o k e n , legislators have t h e right to
complain a b o u t a c a d e m i c infringem e n t s of legislative prerogatives.
For a university to insist t h a t the
laws apply t o e v e r y o n e else—but
only ' 'selec ti ve I y " t o its o wn
members—is a peculiar interpretation of a c a d e m i c freedom, to say
the least.
Only a few years ago, n o r t h e r n
academics were a m o n g the first to
p o i n t a self-righteous finger at the
University of Alabama and the
University of Mississippi, when
they tried not. t o a d m i t black
s t u d e n t s . " T h e law of the l a n d , "
they were t o l d , a p p l i e d . Alabama
and Mississippi, you will recall,
used the same a r g u m e n t t h a t Professor Brown is using now. " T h e
law of t h e l a n d , " they said, did
n o t apply t o s o u t h e r n universities,
since it was n o t s u p p o r t e d by
" c o m m u n i t y o p i n i o n . " " T h e conscience of the [ s o u t h e r n ) comm u n i t y " regarded laws in s u p p o r t
of racial equality as " s t u p i d and
immoral."
Therefore—in
the
southern
university—such
laws,
they claimed, o u g h t not to be
enforced.
1 found this a r g u m e n t pernicious
when it was used by the University of Mississippi; I find it pernicious when it used by t h e S l a t e
University of New York at Albany.
If the implications of this position are disturbing, however, the
implications of the second position arc sinister. S u p p o s e "selective e n f o r c e m e n t of l a w s " means
that some offenders will be pros e c u t e d ; some offenders will n o t
be p r o s e c u t e d . What h a p p e n s to
the principle of equality before
the law? Obviously, if our criterion is to be " t h e conscience of
the c o m m u n i t y " {with no legal
Honeywell Bombs Attacked

Marc Davidov came here recently from Minneapolis in speak to
s t u d e n t s at SUNYA and elsewhere
about the Honeywell Project. He
is a m e m b e r of a broad coalition
of groups that decided to pressure
the Honeywell Corporal ion into
ending their p r o d u c t i o n of antipersonnel I'ragnientat ion b o m b s
Honeywell, Minnesota's largest
private e m p l o y e r , ranks 20th na
tionally in war p r o d u c t i o n . Fully
one-third of the 1 loneywell pro

One of their major war c o n t r a c t s
is for the p r o d u c t i o n of antipersonnel fragmentation b o m b s , a
w e a p o n used against civilian targets in Vietnam.
The b o m b unit consists of a

Davidov calls the makers of
these bombs our "war criminals,"

that these bombs primarily affect
civilians.

have been building slowly in size
but their p r i m a r y a i m is to remain
peaceful, t h o u g h there are groups
within the coalition thai disagree
with
the p h i l o s o p h y of noil

T h e coalition is m a k i n g t w o

is

"Corporate Structure"
One of the m o r e d i s t u r b i n g aspects of this s i t u a t i o n is the
breadth of H o n e y w e l l ' s c o r p o r a t e
arm. Thier b o a r d of directors
helps run 100 o t h e r i n s t i t u t i o n s
including 12 b a n k s , 10 larg in-
duslrial concerns, and f> insurance
firms
T h r e e m e m b e r s of the
board have a strong stock interest
in Honeywell, and Bankers Trust
of New York owns 7..r>% of the
total slock, a controlling interest.
General Klectric, very significantly, owns a M% interest in Honeywell. This c o m p l e x i t y of interlocking businesses b e c o m e s rather
frightening when o n e considers
their e c o n o m i c influence as opposed to their lack of moral concern
General Klectric Is of direct con
t e r n both to Davidov and Lo the
student b o d y for a variety of
reasons.
General Electric o w n s U% of
Honeywell, and is itself the second largest bolder of defense contracts in the c o u n t r y . According
to Davidov, these c o n t r a c t s total
1.02 billion dollars thus if we
end the war, G F ' s war profits
would d r o p sharply. It is unlikely
that G F views this fact happily.

w h o agrees with " u s , " p r o s e c u t i o n
of a n y o n e w h o disagrees with

agent of " c o m m u n i t y o p i n i o n "
for punishing n o n c o n f o r m i s t s and
for absolving c o n f o r m i s t s from
individual responsibility for their
actions. Indeed, individual responsibility
becomes
meaningless,
since one can always hide u n d e r
the blanket of " c o m m u n i t y opini o n . " Initially, at least, 1 suspect
thai this principle would o p e r a t e
in some such fashion as follows: a
g h e t t o y o u t h w h o s m a s h e d a comp u t e r during a s t u d e n t strike
would not be p r o s e c u t e d . However.
I he particular
example
c h o s e n is not i m p o r t a n t ; w h a t is
i m p o r t a n t are the dangers to individual liberties a n d civil rights
implicit in the principle of "selective e n f o r c e m e n t " itself.
When we are told t h a t guidelines
will he "social e n g i n e e r i n g " rather
than c o n s t i t u t i o n a l
legal safeguards, the principle b e c o m e s a
really terrifying o n e . "Social engineering" is a perniciously abstract term which masks the fact
that social engineers—i.e., h u m a n
beings, with their prejudices
are
required to d o the engineering. In
o t h e r words, the social engineers,
presumably,
will a t t e m p t
to
m a n i p u l a t e n o n - c o n f o r m i s t s until
they reflect t h e " c o n s c i e n c e of
the c o m m u n i t y " { a n o t h e r perniciously abstract t e r m ) . This argument s t o o d the Spanish Inquisition and its agents in good
s t e a d ; surely, however, it is unw o r t h y of a university. A few
years ago we saw the " c o n s c i e n c e
of the c o m m u n i t y " o p e r a t i n g in
certain s o u t h e r n universities. It
h a p p e n e d n o t t o b e t h e conscience of m o s t n o r t h e r n university c o m m u n i t i e s ; it was n o t und e r m i n e d , h o w e v e r , by t h e conscience of S U N Y A , but by the
S u p r e m e C o u r t , operating within
a legal framework.
What I am suggesting is t h a t to
s u b s t i t u t e "social e n g i n e e r i n g " for
legal rights and legal sanctions,
equally applicable t o all, is t o
create a dangerous i n s t r u m e n t for
forging the fetters of c o n f o r m i t y
to local prejudice. Once t h e principle of t h e university in loco
parentis was a b a n d o n e d — a n d , on
the whole, I am glad it has been
a b a n d o n e d — w e can no longer
have m u c h faith in the spectacle
of a stern dean, lecturing an errant
group of crestfallen s t u d e n t s w h o
hang their heads in guilt a n d strive
to m e n d their ways. T h e p i c t u r e is
already q u a i n t . T h e typical dean
t o d a y is an i n t i m i d a t e d m a n , with
the vision always before h i m , in
cases involving e r r a n t s t u d e n t s , of
a screaming m o b howling for amnesty and s h o u t i n g e p i t h e t s , "fascist p i g " being a m o n g the milder
ones. S o m e t i m e s t h e vision bec o m e s a reality, and he may succ u m b to the heart attack which
seems to be o n e of his o c c u p a t i o n al hazards.
These are hardly c i r c u m s t a n c e s
in which the university m a y function hi loco parentis. I agree with
Professor Brown t h a t it no longer
s h o u l d . Like Professor Brown, I
presume, I prefer t o regard university s t u d e n t s as adult citizens. But
the a s s u m p t i o n of a d u l t h o o d carries with it a d u l t responsibilities;
equality before the law is o n e of
t h e m . T o a t t a c k elitism in the
realm of intellectual excellence is
to embrace mediocrity; to sponsor
elitism in the realm of legal culpability is to e m b r a c e naked totalitarianism.

Kenny Clarke is one of the most

jazz. It was he, more than a n y o n e
else, w h o developed t h e techniques of accentuation and polyr h y t h m s in jazz. He is also one of
the m a n y jazz musicians w h o have
found in E u r o p e a more satisfying
musical e n v i r o n m e n t . Jazz is treated as an art form there, as a
legitimate representation of the
Black American Culture. It is ironic thai jazz can flourish in Europe
while it is being systematically
discredited and destroyed in its
home land.
T h e Clarke-Boland outfit is a

Holand does much of the arranging and his -style is ecelectic. You
can hear snatches of Baste and
Ellington in his writing and even
more of Kleteher Henderson. He is

thing with him and Ins settings
usually give the soloist that extra
kick he needs. His European back-

Bombings on The Campuses
by Al Senia
Justice Department
On the surface, tlie decision hy A t t o r n e y General J o h n Mitchell
lo send representatives to the campuses appears as an a l l c m p l lo
create dialogue and lo clear away lire hostililies and misconceptions between the Administration and the c a m p u s e s . Umlcinealli.
however, litis move seems a d r a m a l i c development in the
never-ending game o f using s t u d e n t s as political l o o k
Clearly, there is reason lo i|uesliou the sincerity of the move, 11
follows directly in the wake of the passage of a IXC. Crime Bill,
the Administration's blueprint loi c o m b a t i n g crime in the nation
but also ils blue print for curtailing c o n s t i t u t i o n a l lighls. It c o m e s
closely on the heels of a request by I lie Kederal Bureau of
Investigation for a d d e d funds lor 11)00 new undercover agenls lo
investigate campuses subject lo n o c o n l i o l or a u t h o r i t y oilier than
J. bdgar Hoover a direct c o n t r a d i c t i o n of lite tradition of
cooperation with local police agencies as well as college administrators. Finally, it c o m e s from an administration thai lias shown
little responsiveness to s t u d e n l s , labelling aclivisls as " b u m s " a n d
vilifying even the blandest r e c o m m e n d a t i o n of Ihe S c i a n l o n
Commission that it exercise " m o r a l l e a d e r s h i p . "
It is hard to escape the conclusion thai the Administration is
either ignorant or repressive thai it k n o w s Ml lie of llie needs a n d
visions of s t u d e n t s or t h a i , knowing fhetii, it has laken a stance of
continued resistance to change. II the Justice D e p a r t m e n t has
reason to fear violence and terrorism on Ihe c a m p u s e s , il lias no
reason lo identify such actions as the main Ihiusl of change and
activism. T o adopt such a stance itself sows the seeds of t e n o i ism
within the national debate and in America, I " 7 0 , requites little
political courage.
When the representatives ol ihe Justice Dept. ariive here on
Oclober 2\ Ihey will have m u c h to answer for. The most
disturbing tiling of all, however, is Ihal in all likelihood they will
lail to heed the d e m a n d s and q u e s t i o n s a n d warnings and will
present them lo their chief and lo ihe nation .is the violenl
rhetoric of an anti-American m i n o r i t y . Ulliiiiately, they deceive
only themselves.
Injustice at Indian Quad
T o live on Indian Quad is to live in a dust bowl and in a
hazardous
lire Irap and lo live in c o n d i t i o n s winch can o u h be
described as intolerable. T o live on Indian Quad is lo live without
security, shower curtains, furniture, and peace and to lace the
continued frustration of bureaucratic delay a n d inaction.
Similar eases have arisen before at o t h e r SUNY c a m p u s e s and
Ihe results there indicate little hope for a reasonable settlement
This week murks Ihe beginning
ol' a nationwide offensive aimed
against Ihe United Stales government Ihal "will spread from Santa
Barbara, lo Boston, hack t o Kent
State, a n d Kansas."
Since ' h a t a n n o u n c e m e n t was
made last Saturday hy Benindine
Dohrtl, a fugitive W e a t h e r m a n
leader, explosions have rocked a
National Guard a r m o r y in Santa
Barbara, a KOTC building in
Seattle, a n d c o u r t h o u s e s in San
Rafael, California a n d Long Island
City, Queens. T h e list will have
probably grown by t h e lime this is
printed.
As e x p e c t e d , liberals b o t h inside
and o u t s i d e t h e m o v e m e n t have
condemned
t h e b o m b i n g s as
" i r r e s p o n s i b l e , " " t e r r o r i s t i c , " and
" t h e work of m a n i a c s . "
Such accusations are superficial
oversimplifications. Liberals still
refuse lo a c c e p t Ihe fact that the
violence involved is primarily
p r o p e r l y violence aimed at important i n s t i t u t i o n s of Ihe largest
p e r p e t r a t i o n of violence in contemporary
society—the
United
States g o v e r n m e n t .
Weathermen
bombings
(over
1100 in Ihe last \H m o n t h s ) have
been aimed al draft boards, HOTC
buildings,
police
headquarters,
a r m o r i e s all s y m b o l s of a society
that was founded on violence and
has practiced institutional violence for over 2 0 0 years,
Hy liberal s t a n d a r d s , d r o p p i n g
10,000 tons of b o m b s on Vietnam
and napalining w o m e n a n d children is not violent. But blowing
up a KOTC building al 2 : 0 0 a.m.
is a n o t h e r m a i l e r .
Liberals see murdering Black
Panther leaders in cold blood and
conduct nig u n p r o v o k e d a I lacks
on Panther h e a d q u a r t e r s as unf o r t u n a t e But selling a retaliatory
b o m b in a police h e a d q u a r t e r s is
"violenl."
S h o o t i n g u n a r m e d college stud e n t s lo death on their o w n campus is excusable. Bui burning
d o w n Ihe Bank of America,
s y m b o l of America's materialism
and value system, is horribly violent.
T h e draft system annually trains
millions of American men lo kill,
maim, and brutalize. C o n t r a r y to
liberal beliefs, blowing u p induction centers will s t o p t h e system
more effectively than sitting on
Ihe steps will.
It has been argued t h a t this
p r o p e r t y violence also leads to
personal injury. T h e b o m b i n g of
an army m a t h research c e n t e r
( A M R C ) al t h e University of Wisconsin last August 2 1 , in which a
man was killed, is cited as an
example.
While true t h a t o n e person was
killed, it should also b e realized
that t h e d e a t h was accidental a n d
u n p l a n n e d . T h e b o m b was set off
at :t:00 a.m., hardly a peak Lime
period. A n d it e x p l o d e d prematurely.
It should also be realized that
the research c e n t e r h a d proven
ties lo t h e military. It developed
surveillance e q u i p m e n t used in
S o u t h e a s t Asia. It reduced t h e
cost an improved the p e r f o r m a e e
of t h e Safeguard ABM s y s t e m . Us
representatives visited a r m y installations across t h e c o u n t r y a n d
provided advice on w e a p o n r y
p r o b l e m s . In s h o r t , A M R C ' s research has been responsible for
Ihe d e a t h s of t h o u s a n d s of persons.
But Ihe facts were o v e r l o o k e d one m a n inside at 11:00 a.m. was
accidentally killed. T h e r e f o r e , the
m o v e m e n t was guilty of murder.
T h e classic liberal a r g u m e n t is
that we can all " w o r k within the
s y s t e m . " T h e naivete of
that
s t a t e m e n t is a s t o u n d i n g ,
"Working within t h e s y s t e m "
p r o d u c e d Chicago in 10GH. It gol
us Richard Nixon as president. II
m a d e Charles G o o del! a part of
the Agnew "radical liberal" conspiracy. It got Al Lowenstein redistricted so his chances at re-election are slimmer than ever. It
killed Ihe McGovern-llatfield ami
Cooper-Church a m c n d m e n l s .
Does a n y o n e seriously believe il
makes a d a m n e d hit of difference
w h e t h e r A r t h u r Goldberg o r Nelson Rockefeller is u.overnor? Or
w h e t h e r Ed Muskie o r Hubert
11 u i n p h r e y
replace
K i chard
Nixon?
No aspiring politician of t o d a y is
ready to offer the necessary radical changes needed to change ihe
decaying system. T h e y c o u l d n ' t
even if they wanted t o . T o d o so
would be political suicide.
And t h e \H year-old vote.' What
will it m a t t e r ? T h e real p o w e r in
Congress will still rest with committee chairmen. The important
deals will still be iriade away from
the public e y e . Political candidates will still be o w n e d by special
interest g r o u p s .
It's clear t h a t t h e shit is hitting
the fan. 198'] masked as n o knock provisions, legalized wirelaps, a n d preventive detention—is
already here.
Instead
of c o n d e m n i n g t h e
b o m b i n g of a research center,
m o v e m e n t liberals should be concerned with o t h e r things. As Spiro
Agnew said last w e e k : " T h i s m a y
he t h e last d a y I talk a b o u t
S e n a t o r Goodoll. I have a lot of
o t h e r radical liberals to take care
of."

To the Edilor:
As President Benezet technically
has c o n t r o l over S t u d e n t Association
funds, let us h o p e t h a t he
has more insight than S.A in the
distribution of o u r funds. Will he
lend partisan s u p p o r t to the

power, a n d Third World? T h o s e of
us w h o o p p o s e t h e political stance
thai these groups have chosen,
h o p e Ihal Mr Beue/.el will re
m e m b e r that student lax is man
d a t o r y a n d in order lo a t t e n d his

c o n t r i b u t e t o a political group

wish our s t u d e n t tax t o be used lo

Only the New York Stale Dormitory A u t h o r i t y may icdiice rales
and this body has refused in past instances on the g r o u n d s that
the university has only the obligation to provide " a bed and a
roof." Clearly, a n y sense of fairness or justice would dictate the
oullandishness of offering lull service and providing a dusl howl
and a fire-hazard instead.
P e r h a p s , the only solution ultimately lies in some form of active
protest hy those in residence on the Q u a d . Talk g l o w s of a rent
strike next s e m e s t e r . If New York Stale can provide only "a bed
and a roof" while offering much m o r e , such a strike would lie
quite justified

Are t o d a y ' s w o m e n oppressed
by t h e i n s t i t u t i o n s o f marriage
and t h e family? A c c o r d i n g to Miss
Evelyn R e e d , a national spokesw o m a n for t h e W o m a n ' s Liberation M o v e r m e n t a n d socialist activist w h o s p o k e here o n Tuesday,
this is o n e of t h e major p r o b l e m s
with t h e s t r u c t u r e of t o d a y ' s society.
Making several references to her
b o o k l e t , Problems
of
Women's
Liberation;
A Marxist
Approach,
Miss Reed p r o p o s e d three questions concerning marriage a n d the
family as a m a n - m a d e social instit u t i o n . Her first q u e s t i o n , " W h a t
kind of society requires marriage
nni\ the family a n d for what purp o s e , " began her discussion on
what resembled a lecture on the
history of t h e enslavement of wom e n t h r o u g h o u t western civilization.
Miss Reed m a d e reference to
ftngels' b o o k , Origin of the Family, Private Property and the Stute,
showing h o w marriage began as an
institute t o serve t h e m e n of
wealth in the patriarchal society.
She then p o i n t e d o u t t h a t during
t h e Feudal period, the "right to
m a r r y " was e x t e n d e d to the middle class with t h e rise of Christianity. Later, w i t h t h e rise of
Capitalism, came the privilege of
universal marriage, the " b o n d s of
w o m e n . " A t present, it n o w covers all classes. Women are n o
longer w o r k e r s in t h e family, as
seen in an agricultural s o c i e t y ;
they
have b e c o m e
consumers
d e p e n d e n t u p o n their h u s b a n d s .
Mis.s R e e d ' s second question
was, " M o w are w o m e n degraded
hy this i n s t i t u t i o n a n d h u m a n
needs t h w a r t e d ? " She p o i n t e d o u t
t h a t Ihe social, sexual a n d intellectual needs of w o m e n are stinted by o u r society as is the right
t o unrestrict d d e v e l o p m e n t of
the brain a n d cultural life. She
m a d e an analogy t o this by comparing the female sex to a colonial
c o u n t r y under a m o t h e r imperialist nation. It was n o t until the
