Bombings on The Campuses

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."

What, Again?
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
si rike, t h e nioraloria, student
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
which we o p p o s e . Since Student

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

explained
Marx's m i s t a k e n p r e d i c t i o n concerning the increasing oppression
of the working class. Since Marx
was proven wrong, some socialists
felt that there would be no socialist revolution, just a series of
reforms within the Labor Movement. B u r n e t t referred to this
p o i n t of view as " P o l l y u n n i s h . "
He said that a socialist m o v e m e n t
m u s t relate to the w o r k e r s , representing their needs. He cites the
American socialists' failure to do
this as the cause of their weakness.

now a need for the Socialist Party

First Speech on Crime
(Many thanks to Nancy Cell,
Prof. Fred Cohen and A! Alpem)
The F.B.I., the Justice Department, the Attorney General, the
Supreme Court, these are all institutions in which Americans place
great faith. If you're one of
them—think again. Crime and dissent are the two major issues in
the minds of Americans, and the
politicians know it. Almost all
candidates for office, from 1968
up until and including those running this coming November, use
fear tactics and crime statistics to
gain votes. They all use law-n-order rhetoric— Democrats, Republicans, Reactionaries, "Liberals."
(See NY Times page 1, Oct. 12,
1970).
The public is being fooled, and
it may be too late when we finally
awaken to reality - that the issue
of crime is being used to create a
terror in which a crackdown on all
"disruptive" elements will be
acceptable to the public.
The Dept. of Justice is headed
by a presidential appointee— the
Atty. General, who has the power
to control federal crime prosecution, investigation of violations of
federal laws, federal prisons, citizenship proceedings, foreign subversion and internal dissension,
riot conditions, drug trafficing,
drug rehabilitation, coordination
of state and local police, "correctional" institutions and courts,
screening of federal judge nominees, legal advising to the cabinet
and President, and drafting of
legislation to create a safer and
more equitable notion and the
application of the law in a more
just manner.
One man is delegated all this
power, to use or mis-use. When
Nixon became president in 1968,
one of his first acts was to replace
Atty. Gen'l Ramsey Clark with
John Mitchell. At the Republican
National Convention in Miami,
Nixon told what he believed was a
secret session of Southern delegates (until the Miami Herald printed a verbatim transcript made
from a tape recording of the
meeting) that he was going to run
the Dept. of Justice himself. "1
am going to take charge of this,

enforcers in the country, with
Whitney North Seymour Jr., son
of a Republican Party bigshot.
And on Sept. 4, 1969, in the NY
Post, James Wechsler charged
Mitchell and Hoover with attempts to obstruct prosecution of
well-known white collar crook
Roy Cohn. Instead of enforcing
laws, the J.S. went about
restricting the rights of suspects.
Mitchell and Nixon pressured
Congress into passing a McClellan
Crime Bill that reversed the acclaimed Miranda decision (giving
suspects the rights of counsel,
etc.). Lceal authorities were almost unanimous in their protest
against the blatantly unconstitutional law.
Law Enforcement Agency
The Law Enforcement Assistance Agency, (LEAA) is supposed
to coordinate police training, riot
control and reduction of organized crime throughout the nation by helping local police forces.
Unfortunately Congress has limited their giving funds to local
areas, under the "block-grant
amendment," which allows states
to use the money for any purpose
they wanted, without LEAA approval needed.
The result has been that the
large cities get very little, due to
the apportionment of power in
the states, and police departments
have been using the money to
stockpile extravagant weapons
systems. In addition, the NY
Times of August 27, 1970; "the
Nixon Administration this month
is killing a widely acclaimed
(LEAA) program for frcruiting

House has any real understanding
of what's going on among Black
men in our society. He's (Mitchell) so out of touch that he
doesn't call us Blacks, or Negroes,—he calls us colored people." The Justice Dept's laxity in
enforcing anti-segregation laws
caused a Black advisor to the
United States Commission on Civil Rights to resign, accusing the
President of having "broken faith
with millions of people."
Let's TALK These Things Over
When a group oT Black civil
rights workers travelled to Washington, DC, to protest the weakening of the guidelines and revision of the Voting Rights Act,
Mitchell ordered Assistant Alt'y
Gen'l Leonard to see them.
Leonard appeared in the reception
room and when he saw that a
white woman was in the all-Black
crowd, he went "directly up to
her and said, 'Let's talk this thing
over.'
She shook her head. 'I'm not
one of them, I'm just a friend.
Talk to them.' "
Leonard, in a fit of anger told
them that they were "extremely
presumptious," and that Mitchell
would see them later, adding thai

Aliotta Haynes: Special Songs
The Good: The Bad and the Ugly
by Jeff Burger
It always amazes me to see the
number of records released each
week. Hundreds upon hundreds of
totally obscure unknowns flood
the market with varying degrees
of talent. Most of them never
make it, and with good reason.
The record companies hope that a
few of the many will make it big,
and make them rich.
I have here two samples of that
flood of music, both from Ampex
Records. The first is Aliotta
Haynes Music. For this record, I
have mild praise, with reservation.
If you are into lots of money, and
you buy lots of records, get it.
But if you restrict yourself to
those records you just can't live
without, forget it.
Aliotta Haynes isn't bad. It's a
simple album and not at all a
unique sound, nothing you run
out and tell your friends about.
The guitar work is simple, nothing
spectacular. The lyrics are simple,
too, but though you may feel as if
you've heard them before, I
wouldn't call them trite. It depends on what head you're into,
but I look on them as being a nice
change from all the coded heavy
stuff we're used to (often by
people who don't know what
they're doing but who can't get
out of Dylan's shadow). Aliotta
Haynes wrote all the words and
music except for James Taylor's
"Fire and Rain"—and they do a
really good job with that.
The album isn't loo well produced. And it's certainly nothing
special, just a very average folk
group. Still, it's a happy album
and easy to listen lo, and, in spite
of anything I've written here, I
find myself playing it a lot, and
enjoying what I hear.
The other album from Ampex is
called Special Songs and is by a
chick named Cheryl Dilcher. Very
simply, it's horrible. If someone
offers you a free copy, pay him
not lo give il lo you. It's that bad.
She wrote the lyrics, and I think

Double Win
by John Carter
Coach Bob Munsey's cross
countrymen took a double victory
from northern foes Plattsburg and
Potsdam State Wednesday by
23-78 and 23-48 scores respectively. Highlighting the meet was
an exciting finish by Albany's ace
Dennis Hackctt who passed Plattsburgh's Bruce Milliman in the last
hundred yards to take first by one
second. Nick DcMarco and Pat
Gepfert took third and fourth and
Saul Rodriguez, John Stanton, and i
Bill Meehan took seventh through
ninth, respectively, to provide Albany with the winning depth. The
Danes now sport an impressive 8-1
record on the year.
When Milliman jumped off to a
200 yard lead the Dane runners'
dismissed him as a "rabbit." When
his challenge proved to be real,
Hackett had all he could do to
catch him at the finish of the 4.5
mile course. Coach Munsey said,
"That Milliman really surprised
us. Dennis did a great job catching
and passing him in one of the
most exciting races I've ever
seen." Understandably the Dane
mentor was pleased with his men
thus far in what should be one of
the Dane's finest years.
The double victory gave Albany
their seventy-fifth win since cross
country began here nine years
ago. It was also Hacketl's thirteenth personal victory giving him
an excellent chance to pass the
two men ahead of him on the all
time victory list at State, Joe
Keating (17 wins) and Tom

Vido will again round out the
State backfield. Last week Flanagan was cited by coach Ford for
calling an "outstanding game"
against R.I.T. He hopes to repeat
his performance this week.
As for a game plan, Albany will
again look to establish Vido inside. Vido rushed for 101 yards
against R.I.T., and combined with
Boggs, they comprise one of the
most productive backfields any
team on our schedule is likely
to face.
Outstanding performances were
the order of the day against R.I.T.
last Saturday, but coach Ford
made special mention of several
individuals:
Outstanding Offensive Back of the
Week: Bernie. Boggs
Bernie rushed for 148 yards,
three touchdowns, and kicked
two field goals for a total of 24
points. Everything done last week
was a record, since it was Albany's
first game, but Bernie's accomplishments could very well stand
for years to come.
Outstanding Offensive Lineman of
the Week: Peter Moore
Pete came through with crucial
blocks that led to vital yards in
the Albany offense. His desire,
determination and consistency of
play earned him special recognition.
Outstanding Defensive Lineman of
the Week: Butch McGuerty
Butch spent more time in the
R.I.T. backfield than did their
running backs. He anchored the
right side of the Albany line,ml
broke through to make numerous
unassisted tackles. Wherever the
bait went, McGuerty was there.

FOR
an
to
by Dave Fink
This is the first part of a three part series on football. This
information came from a member of the team who has given up quite
a bit (involvement in school government and his private life) lo play
the sport. In talking to him, it was impossible to ignore him rubbing
various scrapes and bruises. He was also kind of tired.
Last Saturday afternoon approximately 3800 people ventured down
to the football field to watch a team representing Albany State play
the first game on agridiron in the school's 125 year history.
For most, the outcome, a decisive 30-21 victory over R.I.T., was
enough to kindle a great deal of support for the team and anticipation
for tomorrow's Homecoming encounter with Siena.
One might wonder, however, just what the feeling would have been
had the Danes lost their opener. Would the average spectator have
criticized the players, the coaches, the team in general? Indeed, if
State is not as fortunate in the ocming weeks, will this be the
sentiment? I think that an important prerequisite in understanding
this team and accepting any defeat, as well as victory, is to understand
the sacrifice that a player makes to play football.
Many members of this team have never played football before. For
them, it means learning a new game, expending energy to a greater
extent than they ever have. It means giving up many pleasures and
much time. It means, in the case of some, rushing from student
teaching assignments in order to get to practice on time. It means a
married man giving up hours during which he might earn moneyand it
means men taking graduate courses at the university just so that they
might play.
Obviously, to sacrifice and sweat in this manner is the choice of the
individual. The fact remains, though, that this choice should be
understood.
This is a rough account of what one week is like for an Albany State
football player.
Sunday evening: Review films of previous game. After the coaches
have gone over the films, they rate each player on his performance
and he is told what he has done wrong and what he has done
correctly.
Monday: Defensive team goes through light workout while
offensive team goes over next opponent's formations and personnel
and their own game plan for the upcoming ball game. Then the
offensive team goes through an easy workout while the defense has a
similarmeeting. Then the defense joins the offense to practice kickoffs
and punts. The practice concludes with a series of wind sprints (30-40
yards) and an "up-down" drill where the players run in place and
then,on the coach's whistle, drop to the ground only to get up again
and continue running. This goes on for about 2Vi minutes.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday: Scrimmage type situation with
the offense first running the upcoming opponent's plays for the
defense and then the defense running the opponent's defense for the
offensive team (on the basis of scouting reports). There is also some
regular scrimmage (mostly on Wed.). The team then goes into the
"live or die" drill. It has been called the "nutcracker drill' when used
by Vince Lombardi and Allie Sherman. It entails, for example, two
linebackers taking on a blocker and a ball carrier in a confined area.
Needless to say, it is despised by the players. The practice ends with
sprints and up-downs.
Friday: An "easy" day. The team runs through the entire game plan
(plays, formations, etc.).
Saturday: Before the game, the coach goes over the personnel on the
respective teams (offense, defense and specialty), the opponent's
strong and weak points and what his players must do to win the game.
Practice runs from 3:45 to 5:45. A man must reach the gym by 3:00
p.m. to get taped, dressed and talk to the coach. If a man is late for
calisthenics, he must do an extra minute of up-downs. This encourages
punctuality. Upon getting in from practice, lie has until 6:30 to
shower, dress and get to Dutch Quad to eat. He can get to the library
by 7:00 p.m. or 7:30 and study until 10:30 because he finds that he
must be in bed by midnight. He is usually up early.
From this account, it is obvious that playing football is not all
scoring touchdowns. When you go to watch the Danes take on Siena
Saturday, keep this in mind. You might not be so quick in yelling
"Hey number 99, you stink!!"

Basketball
Team
Begins
Practice
Veteran State University at Albany basketball coach Dick Sauers
greeted 13 candidates Thursday,
October 15, as workouts bogan
for the 1970-71 season. The squad
should be one of the deepest and
best-balanced of Sauers' 16-year
career at Albany, during which
time he has compiled a 237-113
record.
On hand will be five lettermen,
four of them starters, from last
winter's 13-9 varisty; four sophomores from the 13-5 freshman
team; and four transfers.
"We will be improved over last
year," Sauers claims. "With a
stronger bench, we can be more
nggressive and the new players are
good scorers, which will strengthen us where we were weakest last
season. We'll miss the floor leadership of Jack Adams (the only
graduated starter), but I think we
have several players who could
step into that role. As of now, all
positions are open."
Returning regulars, all seniors,
are co-captains Jack Jordan (6-0,
Green Island), and Alan Reid (6-2,
Binghamton), both forwards; center Steve Sheehan (6-2, Fort Edward), and guard Jim Masterson
(6-1, Albany). Jordan led the
team in scoring (16.5) and rebounds (255), while Masterson
averaged 1 1.8 points a game, Reid
10.0, and Sheehan H.0. Junior
John Holier (6-1, Elmira) missed
most of the season with an injury,
hut. was the leading freshman scorer the year before.
Up from the freshman team of
last year are Werner Kolln (6-'l,
Kingston), who was the top scorer
chain of victories.
To date, tile team has defeated (1 2.6) and rebounder (1 53); Dave
Welchons
(6-2, New Hartford);
Green Mountain and Vassar at
home, while taking victories from Bob Obennayer (6-3, Rensselaer);
the University of Vermont and and Tim Minnehan (5-10, LiWostfield, Mnssachusettes away, vonia). All should help.
in a big New York City weekend Ketz, Jean Romig, Belinda Stanthe girls also defeated Marymount ton, Penny Virginia, Linda Westlake, Jean Yaremchuk (Manager),

Meterology, artificial weather
control and environmental research being undertaken throughout the country was the subject of
a speech presented to the faculty
wives.
Ray Falconer, research associate
at SUNYA's Atmospheric Science
Research Center (ASRC) described the center's work in the
above mentioned fields last Tuesday evening.
Generally known to the public
as the weatherman for a local
radio station, Falconer has been
with the ASRC since its inception
in 1961, and he considers his
primary function as managing the
Whitefaee Mountain field station.
Using slides as a visual aid, he
showed the work undertaken at
Whitefaee in weather forecasting,
atmospheric pollution and public
lectures.
Falconer then explained in layman's terms how the weather influences pollution as well as how
p o l l u t i o n can influence the
weather.
Falconer's talk was preceded by
a short speech by SUNYA's new
president Dr. Louis Benezet who

The Bombings
It's here. Bomb scares, bombings across the state and
nation. Wisconsin, Santa Barbara, Harvard, Rochester,
New York City. It's here. It can happen here. The same
reasons for it all, which exist in these other places, exist
here and everywhere.
Bombings happen not simply because there are psychotics or crack-pots among us whose frustrations have built
to an outrage aginst humanity. Bombings are a tactic, and
a tactic of those whose outrage is against society and
society's repression.
The first fault must lie with society, therefore. There are
those who have determined that there is no hope in the
present structures of society, that nothing can be gained
within those structures to redress the grievances against
minorities, against the nations of the Third World, against
the resources of the land, against democratic principles.
For many, for a growing many, these grievances arc a way
of life, for this way of life, society is the blame.

To the Editor:
They can however he argued against as a lactic, and
vehemently so. One person who is outraged can approach
the other on equal looting, can prove to him thai he does
his position no good at all by his politics. A lactic thai is
seldom understood as intended and which results in an
outcry against the accidental dealhs. is a poor lactic
indeed. And il is increasingly cleai that the politics of
selective bombings threaten to transform this nation into a
fully repressive, fascislic stale, and oiler in return no hope
at all for the redress of the outraged.
What have the bombings brought us'.' Nixon. Aguew,
Mitchell, the D.C. Crime Hill, the Henderson Act, undercover agents, college and iniicr-cily massacres, "law and
order" elections, repression. Where will they lead us'.'
And there is a Ihought: that the means can grossly
pervert the ends, that the outraged in search of true
democracy adopt through their tactics. Ihe most elilisl
position of all, that for their outrage another lite is
meaningless. On thai principle rests imperialism and
Vietnam as well.
Column Policy
The ALBANY STUDENT PRESS recognizes its obligation to
print diverse editorial opinion and welcomes students and faculty
to submit signed editorial columns for publication. Columns
chosen will not necessarily reflect the editorial opinion of the

The rationale is that of the guerilla behind enemy lines.
Operating in small cadres, thuse who arc the outraged steal
among given sites and offer them up in ashes a sacrament
or a sign for the rest of us. Thus most of the bombings
have been directed toward Defense Department or Defense- related establishments.
If bombings are a lactic, therefore, they cannot he
argued against as if they arc the trade of psychotics. It
does the "liberal" absolutely no good to appeal to the
fears of his constituency by mounting a moral crusade
against the "demented." He will never stop the bombings.
He will win his constituency, but he may move them
toward facism as well. He himself, in fact, may soon
become the I'acisl.

Editorial policy is determinedfaythe Editor-in-Chief.
The article by Al Sen la in the
ASP of October 13 should not
pass without response. Mr, Senia's
article is richly interlarded with
both simplistic logic and the eonfusion of rhetoric with truth. Be
is willing to do precisely what he
abhors most: accept violence as a
means of achieving one's ends.
The United States has rightfully
been casLigated for using violence
and destruction as tools of oppressive policy, internally and externally. In opposition to this the
value of human beings as such is
justly held to be worth infinitely
more than any political or economic goal. Systematically making people into "things" is the
greatest crime of our era. Hence, 1
fail to see any meaningful distinction between a death caused by a
B-5 2's bomb dropped from
35,000 feel and a death casued by
a terrorist's bomb exploded several hours after the craftsman's departure. If quantified lives were a
measure of moral correctness then
perhaps even Hiroshima could be
grotesquely justified. But claiming
that "only" one man died in the
Wisconsin explosion (and he "accident! y") is one of the more
sinister manipulations one can effect using inhuman logic. Even the
bombers' magnanimous acceptance of responsibility for their
act's result is pathetic,
The terrorists' intention may
well he to beneficently alter this
country's societal situation by eliminating militarism, racism, alien
ilium, exploitation
in short,
espousing t he whole litany of
humanistic goals. But their pyrotechnics have already caused
one death and. should further
terrorism ensue, l here will be
more It is obviously absurd to
claim thai the reckless endanger
ment of human life is under
Humanity's aegis Thus we each
of us are utterly responsible for
ourselves: We am decry others'
acts, but we alone must insure
that we tlo not follow their ini
mural lend. To claim otherwise is
to abrogate moral responsibility
and to commit the atrocities at
which, ostensibly, we are outraged.
Terrorism will surely result in
more repression and violence. But
aside from this consideration,
which may be a calculated result
in some mutant dialectic, it
should be realized that, here and
now, terrorism imperils individual
lives in the service of dramatic
gesture. It seems to be not only
the American military which is
capable of disregarding human life
and which is willing to be a party
to death and suffering.

To the Editor:
I would like to comment on the
astoundingly "intelligent" selection of garbage placed in the ASP
by that super-intelligent Al Senia.
His editorial "Bombings on the
Campuses" in Tuesday's ASP has,
I'm proud to say, failed to see the
point. I would like Mr. Senia to
please distinguish between the
degrees of irresponsibility and
terrorism in respect to the bombings, when he states that for the
most part the bombs do "only"
property damage. Regardless of
what type of damage is perpetrated (be it properly or human life)
the bombings are undeniably
wrong! Simply because no human
life has been taken, or simply that
Ihe only damage clone was to the
American system, does not give
anyone (he right or obligation to
destroy,maim , or kill. I wonder
what Mr, Senia would say if his
home, or car, or wife, became the
nest victim of our sick society.
These idiotic bombings are not
destroying this evil society. They
are destroying the dilligenl laboring of good citizens and hard
working masses who earn I henliving by working hard. Thai's all,
they simply work hard all their
life Perhaps Mr. Senia wouldn't
like it loo much if his father's
r@w u flings
place of occupation was ruined
with a simple bomb. I also wonder
if he realizes that his father's taxes
and hard work have helped to pay
for these campuses rocked with
bombs. It isn't the evil or sick
society of America which should
bear the blame for these disturbances. It is radical extremists,
Gary J. Hull
To the Editor,
Many of us on campus were
pleased to see Albert Senia's article, "Bombings on the Campuses," in Tuesday's ASP. It is
one of few ASP articles which is
truly analytical of the contemporary American situation, which
doesn't attempt to compromise its
position and which doesn't attempt to appease every faction of
the campus community. It is written not to satisfy, but to report
the truth as seen by the author.
As opposed to an Editorial
appearing on the same page—
which is unable to make the distiction between ignorance and repression, which is blatantly ignorant of the Nixon Administration's intentions and which warns
that it would be presumptuous on
the part of the Justice Department to assume that violence and
terrorism on campus are "the
main thrust of change and activism. " Mr. Senia recognizes the
nature of the Established Order
and Ihe direction which the struggle against it must lake especially
if that struggle is to manifest itself
in any real change of society. His
article observes that, "blowing up
induction centers will slop Ihe
system more effectively than sitting on the sleps will."
When one has become ace us
turned to mediocre reporting and
editorializing from our campus
newspaper, it is a hopeful sign
that someone has written an article which perceives so well t he
society in which the author is
existing. We would be pleased to
see such integrity, so infrequently
seen in ASP reporting and edituriali/.ing, continue.

of Peter Haley and Robert Cooley of Ihe Faculty-Student Association.

Justice
Cancels
"As you know, the Justice
Department's areas of responsibility such as law enforcement,
civil riuliIs, and environmental
([Unlit y are also subjects of
deep interest lo many younger
Americans."
The above is the basic rationale I'or Attorney General John
N. Mitchell's plan Io send representatives from the Department
of .Justice lo fi I college campuses. The colleges include
schools in .'12 states and Ihe
District of Columbia, ranging in
variety from public and private
schools, Ini*ue stale universities
and small colleges, religious institutions, and Negro colleges.
The schools scheduled to be
visited in New York Slate include: SUNY Albany, SUNY
Central Council interrogated Robert Cooley, the Executive Director
of FSA and Peter Haley, Director of Food Service, last Thursday
night, in an attempt to learn more about FSA.
One of the first questions to be asked was about the existence of
discrimination in the Brubacher Dining Area against male students
with long hair. Incidents of this have been reported to Grievance
Committee several times. Peter Haley denied having ever heard of any
problem existing in this area. He stated however that it is policy to
have anyone with long hair, male or female, cover their heads with
either a hat or hairnet,
Dick Wesley followed this with a question as to how FSA would
react to student employees unionizing to negotiate for higher wages
and better working conditions. Haley said that no student was being
paid less than the federal minimum wage of $1.60, and that more than
half were being paid above it. He further stated that an increase to a
minimum of $1.85 would be forthcoming within a week or two.
The manner of spending profits made by FSA was another point. It
was explained that often FSA does not realize any significant profits,
only $8,000 two years ago, and that when one area of FSA does
realize a profit, such as Food Service, that it is often absorbed by
another area that incurs a loss, such as the bookstore. FSA
representatives pointed out that a profit of between $150-175,000
was probably made last year by Food Service, but much of this would
be absorbed by a loss of business by the bookstore due to last spring's
strike. Any monies left over would then go for internal improvements
of the many areas of FSA, and to hold the line on costs and prices.
A committee has been set up by the Board of Directors of FSA to
determine exactly where the money is to be spent. Cooley further
pointed out that any profits left after this, must go to the Chancellor,
since FSA is a non-profit organization.
FSA was asked where the benefits, if any, of the new "caging"
policy were going. He pointed out that before it was instituted, Food
Service had been estimating that it was feeding 130 students for every
100 meal contracts. These benefits were dismissed by Cooley as an
increase in food costs. He pointed out that there had been a calculated
risk made by FSA, that the "caging" would enable Food Service to
hold board rates to last year's level in spite of rising costs. He further
stated that there has been no change in the quality of the food. So far
the results of the risk are unknown.

Due to the illness of the .Justice Department's team leader,
Benjamin llolman, who is the
head of Community Relations
Services, the visit has been postponed. Although no new dale
has been set, Ihe team, consisting of two men and one woman,
is intending to set a new dale
I'or the forum.
The new date, time and place,
as well as biographical background on the team members,
will follow.
Editors of nine university newspapers met here Saturday and
called for an end to mandatory
student tax and administrative review of student government budgets.
The editors also laid the groundwork for a statewide organization
of newspapers to be known as
New York Student Press Association (NYSPA).
The editors approved an editorial which was to be run throughout the state and to constitute a
uniform statement of opposition
to the court order and to the
power of administrative review.
The editorial was addressed to
the meeting next Salurday of
State University Presidents. It
cat led u poll them to take
immediate steps to end the
"crutch" of mandatory tax and
hold a statewide referendum on
the tax, and to establish the
groundwork for an effective
system of voluntary lax.
The editors maintained thai the
effect of the court decision was to
destroy the autonomy of student
governance and the freedom of
students to organize themselves.
The editorial said in part: "The
procedures that have been established by the Executive Committee
of the Board of Trustees allow
University presidents lo impose
their own political beliefs and
biases on the entire system of
student governance."
The statewide editorial marked
the first time that editors had ever
met in New York Slate to coordinate a joint statement of opinion.
The editors also planned a
meeting in IJinghnmtom of at least
50 statewide newspaper representatives to ratify plans for the New
York Student Press Association.
NYSPA would include a full
time Albany correspondent with
coverage of the legislature, the
Chancellor's office, and the State
Education Department. The Albany Office, separate from the
Albany Student Press, would also
coordinate coverage of other campuses and channel the news stories
to campus newspapers around the
state.
The formation of NYSPA would
also facilitate the issuance of further statewide editorials. Albany
State, Stony Brook, Buffalo, Binghamton, New PalU, Fredonia,
Brock port, and iona were represented at the meeting.
The stand taken by the editors
did not relate to freedom of the
press. It was based, instead, on
their concept of student government: the inherent freedom of
students to organize themselves,
the constitutional right of students to express their own political beliefs.
"The matter is urgent. Never has
the need for constructive and collective action been greater. To
allow the situation lo worsen is to
surrender inalienable rights. Student Association leaders face the
responsibility of reclaiming the
authority they have surrendered
through dependency on state and
university protection."
Saturday, the Student Association of the State University
(SASU) will meet here to discuss
the ramifications of the decision
by Justice Koreman to place idl
student funds collected by mandatory tax under the review of the
Board of Trustees. The State
University presidents will also
consider any course of action they
may wish to take.
Editors expressed the fear that
nothing significant would result
from the meeting unless pressure
were expressed on the student
presidents.
The formation of NYSPA and of
iASU both issued from the need
seen by student representatives
and editors to act collectively in
confronting problems seen as
common to all campuses in the
SUNY system.
The first of these problems arose
when Justice Koreman enjoined
the Albany State Student Association from spending any of its
funds until the Board of Trustees
had approved its budget. The
Board of Trustees, in turn, applied
the decision to all campuses under
its jurisdiction on which mandatory tax existed.
Never b e f ore had student
governments
in n on-private
schools been subject to administrative review. The decision, moreover, came at the same time as the
release of a report by State Comptroller Arthur Levitt ordering a
review of all SUNY student
governments on the basis of inconsistencies found in audits of
several student government books.
Several student government
leuders saw repression in theso
events—it move by state officials
to deprive student governments of
the freedom to run their own
affairs and to express their political beliefs.
The editorial noted that the
only basis for such review was the
nature of mandatory fax and argued thai thu dependency on university cooperation in the collection of the tax was, in effect, the
abdication of students' rights.
