The Faculty Student Association has been guilly of gross
inconsidcration Inward students by its reluctance to raise the base
wage rate of $1.85. It is the height of inconsistency to maintain
an organization that is supposedly geared toward serving the
students while at the same lime refusing to pay those students a
decent living wage.
Promises thai the wage rate may soon increase do not erase the
bad image that FSA has accrued to itself by this policy. Moreover,
the wage that is indicated, $1.85 does not go far enough toward
establishing a living wage. No one in 1970 can live on an income
that is less than $2.00 an hour, particularly when thai income is
docked by the time allotted for meals.

The recent rulings which grant University administrations the
power to review and censor the appropriations of student
governments on campuses in New York pose an intolerable threat
to student autonomy. The procedures that have been established
by the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees allow
University presidents to impose their own political beliefs and
biases on the entire system of student governance.
This system must be eliminated, and the rights of students to
self-governance must be upheld. It is vital that the Student
Associations of the State University (SASU) take immediate
action at its October 24th meeting to insure that these rights arc
reclaimed.
The attempt to sabotage student rights in New York State not
only deprives students of the freedom to run their campus
activities; indeed, it threatens the guaranteed constitutional
principles of self-determination and political expression.
At the meeting this Saturday, therefore, student governments
must take immediate action reasserting their sole, legitimate
authority over the disbursment of student activity fees. They
must move as quickly as possible toward freeing themselves from
the crutch of mandatory student t es. It is this crutch thai
fostered the present situation that does not allow students to
govern themselves.
If all that emerges is pious rhetoric or statements of principle,
then student association leaders will have failed in their first
responsibility: protecting the freedom of that government.
From that meeting should emerge a call for a statewide
referendum on mandatory fees and plans lor an effective
campaign to educate the student voters to the necessity for
voluntary fees. From that meeting, as well, should emerge I he
basis for a plan for the implementation of a voluntary fee. For it
is apparent that student governments must now "enforce" llieii
own collection through price differentials and through rendering
the use of their facilities and membership in their clubs,
contingent on the payment of lees. In short, student governments
must move immediately to a separate corporate status.
The matter is urgent. Never has the need for constructive and
collective action been greater. To allow the situation to worsen is
to surrender inalienable rights. Student Association loaders face
the responsibility of reclaiming the authorit) ihey have surrendered through dependency on stale and university protection.

Everything was going well until
somebody asked what purpose life
has. For no apparent reason this
made everybody around paranoid. All of a sudden people
started asking questions like Why?
and what is reality?
These questions, and others like
them, were causing turmoil in society. Masses flocked to the individuals of high status like
O'Reilly, and Hoover, and Mitchell for answers, but they didn'l
know from shit. People were upset about their inability to find
direction, and even the invention
of the compass didn't help.
Then people decided to petition
god. A flock of leaders went to
this shrub thai was on fire and
started asking questions of it. The
shrub didn't talk much and the
leaders gol furious, demanding
answers, Whal about free will? Do

Soon the crowd was yelling,
"Whal do we want? purpose
When do we want it?- now

Purpose now! Purpose now!''
God didn'l think too highly of
the methods of his petitioners,

this is true then how come we're

me, that if freedom is our goal,
instead of fighting our money
would be better spent in peaceful
endeavors. For example, the government could help support the
Care program, or the S.S. Hope
Medical shop, or Radio Free Europe, or offer better salaries to the
Peace Corps volunteers. Maybe
even the USO could get some of
the funds, especially since they
deal directly with the servicemen.
And why doesn't the government
adopt a few foster children? In
fact, why don't they adopt a lot
of foster children?

story and layout by anita thayer

How do you stop a superhighway that scarcely
anyone wants and probably isn't needed when the
politicians and the governmental bureaucracy have
decided that the road will be built?
A number of area citizens groups are currently
confronted with this problem. Their object of
concern is the proposed Susquehanna Expressway
that is planned tolink the Binghamton-Appalachia
area with the Capital district.
Bozenkill Valley
with cement monster
The Bozenkill Valley is a beautiful area of immense ecological importance. The Valley, which is
only about 20 miles from the Albany urban area includes among its natural phenomenon a stream
gorge with four spectacular waterfalls. The Nature Conservancy, a national conservation group, is
attempting to keep the Valley forever wild.
The Susquehanna Expressway which is in the planning stages and will connect the Albany area
with Binghamton is slated to cross the Bozenkill Valley. Three of the alternative routes directly
cross the Bozenkill creek, the fourth alternative would have an effect on the Bozenkill drainage area.
Also near or in the path of various corridors is tfti Christman Sanctuary, the Abbet Pulliam Nature
Preserve, Sheldon falls, Darby Hill Wildlife Preserve, and Bear Swamp as well as many other
historical landmarks.
*lfc:
This highway will have drastic repercussions on
the human environment of an area that already has
more than its share of superhighways. The proposed
routes all cross the Bozenkill Valley and will cause
irreparable damage to a beautifully unspoiled area.
The Susquehanna Expressway (also known as
Interstate 88) has been planned to repalce Route 7
as a direct thoroughfare between Albany and
Binghamtun. Most likely this road will eventually
connect with an Interstate highway system to
Maine. The state has plotted four possible corridors
from Schenectady to the Schoharie County line.
These routes were the subject or a lengthy public
hearing in May at which time over 1,000 area
residents voiced their disapproval of the proposed
routes. Many expressed total disapproval of the
superhighway mode of transportation.
Some urban areas, most notably Washington, D.C.,
have experienced extensive freeway revolts, but this
is one of the first sizable expressions of protest in a
semi-rural area.
The local citizens' groups have ben utilizing
various channels and levels of protest but with little
success to date. Petition drives, letters and personal
visits to government officials, appeals to elected
officials, picket lines, and intensive studies of
various aspects of the situations have produced little
tangible improvement in the situation; highway
plans are progressing without interference or review.
This proposed highway is not an isolated thing
which affected only a limited number of people in
its immediate path. It is a sympton of something
larger. The Albany area is in the grip of a frightening
highway mentality. So far we have just had a
taste-the Thruway, the Northway, the Washington
Avenue Extension, the Slingerlands Bypass. This is
just the beginning. An incredibly strong highway is
strangling the transportationpolicies and resources
of this state andof the country. Transportation is
conceived of almost solely in terms of the needs of
automobiles and there is very little concern with the
need* of people.
The New York State Department of Transportation encouraged by Governor Nelson Rocker
feller and the incumbent Republicans, and wilh the
loyal opposition of the Democratic Party i.s ready to
build roads, lots of roads. A few of the coming
attractions one can find mapped out at the Regional
offices of the Department of Transportation are the
Selkirk-Schenectady Corridor, the Scotia Bypass,
the Erie Boulevard-Maxon Rond Corridor, ihe Km
terdam Arterial Corridor, the Route 146 Corridor,
the Schenectady Route 50 Corridor, and the AI
buny-Schenectady Expressway.
A committee of Albany State's Protect Ymir
Environment Club (PYE) is currently undertaking :i
serious and intensive study of the whole situation.
They hope to amass the kindof information lh;ii
will be useful to citizen groups opposed to the
Expressway. This kind of information can he used
to either deal directly with the N.Y.S. Department
of Transportation or as a basis for litigation. This
committee is intimately involved with area citizens'
groups from the affected area.
When people are confused about issues of public
policy, the Lime is ripe for political opportunism.
With the imminence of elections, there has never
been a lack of statements concerning this highway
and the Bozenkill area from all levels of candidates
One of the more popular schemes i.s ii plan
advocated by Assemblywoman Mary Anne Krupsak
which calls for the moving of the Interstate H*
m
terminus from the Schenectady exit of the Thruway
to the Amsterdam exit where the highway is
supposedly wanted (at least according to the elected
officials of that area).
Governor Rockerfeller has publicly stated that the
Department of Transportation will not choose a
route tht would "adversely affect the Bozenkill
Valley." However all of the routes that have been
submitted for a public hearing will affect the the
Bozenkill Valley-three directly and one indirectly.
It seems very likely that no public decision will be
announced until after the upcoming election, although there are definite indications that a corridor
for the local segment of Interstate HH has been
chosen.
The 130 mile long Susquehanna Expressway was
authorized by the N.Y.S. Legislature on the recommendation of a special Rockerfeller Commission
which stated that priority hsould be given because
it would economically benefit the depressed "Appalachia" area. However, pressure for this road had
been exerted by certain pressure groups in the
Southern tier for a long time even before Appaalachia became an issue. Rockerfeller is publicly
committed to building an Alhany-Bingahmfon
Road. This is the most likely explanation lor the
complete insensitiviLy of the Department of Transportation to the needs and problems of the people
directly affected by this proposed expressway.

Gridders Travel To Towson State Saturday
by Mike Piechowicz
T h e G r e a t Dane gridders take
their w i n n i n g p h i l o s o p h y o n t h e
r o a d t o m o r r o w when t h e y seek
o u t v i c t o r y n u m b e r three s o m e w h e r e in t h e recesses of Maryland.
T h e i r o p p o n e n t will be T o w s o n
S t a t e , w h o s h o u l d offer t h e greatest resistance Albany has faced t o
d a t e , as t h e y r o u n d o u t t h e first
half of their schedule.
" T o w s o n might be t h e strongest
line we face," c o m m e n t e d c o a c h
F o r d . " T h e y ' r e bigger defensively
than we are offensively, a n d
t h e y ' r e very good against t h e
rush."
T h e S t a t e backfield of Boggs
a n d Vido could be in for a rough
a f t e r n o o n , and if they c a n ' t m o v e
the team, t h e call will go t o Bill
Flanagan lo t h r o w the ball. If
T o w s o n has a defensive shortc o m i n g , it's that they are weak in
the s e c o n d a r y .
T h e y ' r e good, but in t h e w o r d s
of coach F o r d , "We can beat t h e m
if we play a relatively errorless
game."
T o w s o n is a well balanced team,
with o n e of the finest q u a r t e r backs we're likely t o face this
year. His name is Al Ootids, and
he finished M t h nationally in t h e
dec at ha ton last year, a test of
all-round athletic ability. Last
year lie also passed for 6 2 % a n d
over 1 5 0 0 yards in a d d i t i o n t o
doing t h e t e a m ' s p u n t i n g , and
a c c u m u l a t i n g a 4 0 yard average.
If we b e a t Towson, we'll have t o
s t o p D o d d s just as we s t o p p e d
Muscarella of R.I.T., a n d Grasso
of Siena.
A l b a n y will be faced with s o m e
p r o b l e m s they haven't experie n c e d before. Injuries are starting
t o t a k e their toll. C o r n e r b a c k
Dave Benedict may be lost for t h e
season with b o n e chips in his
elbow. Actually, both elbows are
in bad shape, and one is in a cast.
T o further complicate m a t t e r s in
an already shakey
secondary,
safety H e / Braswell hasn't put in
an a p p e a r a n c e in t h e last t w o
practices, and is believed to have
quit t h e team.
On t h e offensive line, Dick
Wesley m a y have bruised s o m e
ribs in t h e Siena game, and s h o u l d
any u n e x p e c t e d losses, or injuries
occur during the T o w s o n c o n t e s t .
S t a t e c o u l d be in serious t r o u b l e .
Flanagan a n d Boggs are sure
starters in t h e backrield, but t h e
Fullback position is in d o u b t .
R u d y Vido had a r o u g h t i m e
against Siena, picking up only 2K
yards in 16 carries, a n d b o t h
Terry Lee a n d Larry Petersen are
c o n t e n d e r s for his post.

This is the second installment
of a three part series. Next
week'«
final article will deal with a coach's view of what football is.
W e d n e s d a y ' s issue of t h e K n i c k e r b o c k e r News featured an article
dealing with a p r o b l e m that m a n y football coaches are n o w dealing
with t h r o u g h o u t with personnel. T h e y recruit high school ballplayers,
help t h e m gain a d m i t t a n c e to the school and give t h e m scholarships.
T h e n , c o m e fall, these men decide t h a t ihey d o n ' t w a n t t o play
football. In t h e words of H o b a r t ' s varsity football coach, " T h e best
defensive tackle in the school has never p u t on a j e r s e y . " O t h e r
players c o m e o u t for t h e team and th on cjuil. Wh:it is thu reason for
it?
It is q u i t e e v i d e n t t h a t our entire American culture Is u n d e r g o i n g an
i m p o r t a n t change. We are b e c o m i n g aware of m a n y social ills. Wo have
begun t o c o n f r o n t ourselves, not only as a nation, hut as individuals.
Many of us a r e frightened by w h a t we see.
Our c u l t u r e has been characterized by regimentation. In the past, we
were t a u g h t For all i n t e n t s and purposes not lo question. We
c o n d u c t e d o u r lives in a m a n n e r exactly like our predecessors. N o w ,
we have a w a k e n e d to o u r situation a n d , consequently, have begun t o
question—to look deeper into our existence. Some of us have c o m e t o
realize t h a t l o be ruled by t r a d i t i o n , not lo think hut to blindly
accept, is to s t a g n a t e ourselves. This is why we find it hard to listen t o
orders, w i t h o u t q u e s t i o n .
Indeed, an analogy has been m a d e between the marine drill sergeant
and t h e football coach. In -some instances, Ihi.s c o m p a r i s o n is valid.
T h e point it, if t o d a y ' s coach is to lake a step to eradicate his
pcn.onnel p r o b l e m , lie must not s o u n d like a sergeant, he must not
run a team like a coach of I 0 years ago, for he can no longer appeal t o
Ihe phrase, " W i n o n e for old Stale U . " lie must learn lo u n d e r s t a n d
each player as an individual, lie musl not demand shorl hair or crew

Epilogue on Fires
by Bob Baldassano
Today, the condition of Colonial Quad Flagroom is much the
same as that of last Muy according
to Nancy Wightman, Assistant Residence Director. The suite on the
fourteenth floor of Eastman
Tower, is being restored now.
The Dormitory Authority of
New York, which owns both
buildings, has completed only
very preliminary restoration.
Last May, a fire bomb was
thrown into the Flagroom causing
$35,00 worth of damage, during
the summer, action was taken to
restore the Flagroom.
First, the insurance adjuster
came to assess the extent of
damages. A request for restoration
was then made to various construction firms. The contract was
eventually awarded by means of a
sealed bid, to the firm of
McManus, Longe, and Brockwell
of Latham.
The fire that destroyed a suite in
Eastman Tower began in a single
room and then spread to the rest
of the suite. This damage was so
extensive as to require the aid ol
an outside agency,
At this moment, the work in the
Flagroom has been of a very
preliminary nature according to
William Tisdale, Assistant to the
President in the division of Plant
Planning and
Development.
Smoke damage, inflicted last May,
proved a formidable obstacle to
the repainting of the walls. The
vinyl wall coverings have been
removed and the lighting system
must be re fixed since the ceiling
which anchors the lighting system
was destroyed in last May's Fire.
Mr. Tisdale indicated that he
hopes the work will be completed
within six weeks.
Meanwhile, the work in the
Eastman Tower suite is being
done on u similar time schedule.
The windows are in, and the door
casings are now fixed. Also, the
suite has been painted. Judy
Condo, the State Dormitory
Director, voiced the hope that the
suite will be ready for occupancy
by next semester.

Security Head Announced
Youngest of the Candidates
by Kathy Kelly
The newly created post of Director of Security has been filled
after extensive review of some SO
to 90 candidates. Unanimous
recommendation of James R.
Williams was made by the Search
Committee composed of faculty,
students and administrators. President Louis Benezet announced
the choice at his weekly news
conference last Wednesday.
Meal Price Hike
Predicted by Haley
by Joan Zuckerman
Responding to an invitation to air grievances, approximately sixty
Dutch Quad residents met with Food Service representative Peter
Haley Wednesday night.
The meeting was sponsored by Dutch Quad Board as their first
session of Firing Line, an attempt to bring various speakers onto the
quad to discuss services available to the campus and to answer student
questions. In the future, they hope to present representatives from
Student Health Service, University Counseling Center and Refer.
Wednesday night's meeting focused on several problems with the
Food Service on Dutch and attempts of the recently organized Food
Committee to deal with student complaints. To date, the food
committee has instituted weekly meetings with the chef in charge to
discuss the menu and to represent student opinion. As a result of
these meetings, scrambled eggs are now being served until 8:30 and
' the kitchen has been offering a more varied menu.
Haley revealed that because of Food Service attempts to keep pace
with the spiraling food costs (in some cases, almost double those of
eighteen months ago) and their desire lo bring student employee
salaries more in line with the current minimum wage of $1.85,
students should anticipate a raise in contract meal rates starting in
September.
Haley also stated that, for the first time, students may be allowed Lo
alter, though not break, their meal contract plans. After Thanksgiving
recess, those students wishing to drop a meal (other than dinner) or
add one they are not now contracted for, will be able to do so. Details
will be announced as soon as the proposal is approved.
Among the quesitons raised by students was the reasoning behind
mandatory contract dinner for all dorm residents. Haley answered
that Food Service was not responsible for that regulation, that it was
part of the contract between the residence office and Food Service. A
student told the group that the question of breaking meal contracts is
coming up on the University Senate's agenda. When asked about the
success of the newly installed dividers in the dining halls, he said that
according to the more than fifteen hundred students he has spoken
with this year, there has been both a decrease in he number of
students being served and an improvement in the efficiency of the line
service.
Haley concluded the session by stating that there now are food
committees on all three uptown quads (Colonial Quad will have its
first meeting today at one o'clock) and invited all students to bring
any complaints to his office at Fulton Hall.
At 29 the youngest candidate
interviewed, Mr. Williams has
nevertheless had considerable educational and job experience. He
attended the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy and is now a candidate for his M.A. in history and
political science at Butler University in Indiana. He has also attended seminars on group therapy
and drug abuse.
As for employment, the future
Director of Security is now Associate Director of the Indianapolis
Human Rights Commission, responsible for the areas of housing
and police-community relations.
Earlier, Mr. Williams was a Senior
Parole Officer for the Indiana
Department of Corrections, counselling parolees and investigating
criminal activities. He was also a
caseworker for the Department of
Public Welfare.
Unlike many of the other candidates interviewed, Mr. Williams
has had no military intelligence
experience in Southeast Asia. He
has, however, served as naval officer aboard an oceanographic research vessel. At present, he is a
lieutenant in the U.S. Naval Reserve.
Mr, Williams is expected to
come to this area during the first
part of December to assume the
post of Director of Security,
according to Mr. John Buckhoff, a
member of the Search Committee.
The Director of Security is a
new position on each of the
SUNY campuses. It is part of a
general improvement of security
thoughout the system, stimulated
by last spring's unrest.
The Search Committee, in addition to recommending Mr.
Williams as Director of Security,
recommended the formation of
two committees: an Advisory
Committee on University Security
Lo cover the areas of policies and
procedures, and a University Security Review Committee to consider grievances and complaints
about Security.

Revolutionary Role
of Workm Probed
by Linda Ulsh
"Workers have to take a Revolutionary role" was the theme on an
SDS meeting held Wednesday
night. Two representatives from
RPI informed a small group of the
history, goals, and objectives of
the national and local organization, which are according to Dave
Schop to "materially and concretely attack war, racism, and male
chauvinism."
The representatives from the
RPI chapter of the SDS explained
the national objectives of the
march planned in Detroit for Election Day. Their goals or slogans
are 1) Elections are hoaxes, 2)
U.S. out of S.E. Asia, 3) Cops out
of the ghettos, 4) Support Strike
of the auto workers and an additional one of 5) Freeing political
prisoners. Detroit is considered a
good area in which to have such a
march because of the auto
workers' strike and the high unemployment in the area.
Participants will march and canvass and show their support of the
striking auto workers with a
march on the GM general headquarters starting from Wayne (
State and the Dodge auto factory.
Draft Course
A course aimed al teaching interested persons the mechanics
and information necessary to
becoming a draft counselor, will
be offered, through the Draft
Counseling Center here, sometime
in the next few weeks.
All those students who have
signed up for the course will be
notified at least one full week
prior to the first session.
For any further information, the phono number of the
Draft
Counseling Center is
•157-1009.
The SDS has "concrete goals" and
they wish to unite with the
workers on these goals.
At RPI, SDS is trying to remove
ROTC from the campus and to
get a day-care center established
on campus. They also wish to
further their national goals.
At this time there is no SDS
chapter at SUNYA. The National
Organization of SDS is now just
gaining back strenght after their
split. Anyone wishing information
about SDS or the trip to Detroit
should call Dave Schop at
274-8752.
The following items are being
stored in the Security Office.
Owners can pick the items up
upon properly identifying them.

There are over 80 semester, academic year and summer study
abroad programs open to qualified State University
students. The cost for a semester or year abroad
is comparable in many instances to expenses for the same
periods on your own campus, and your transportation costs
are reduced on University charter or group flights.
Recruitment for spring programs is now going on at all
sponsoring campuses for students who feel they can benefit
from the stimulating atmosphere of a new academic and
cultural setting while earning degree credit.
Think about it. Talk about it. See your campus

The Kent State 25
We have witnessed the slaughter of thousands of
Americans, Vietnamese, Cambodians and Laotians.
US bombers continue their systematic destruction
throughout most of Indochina. Yet, when American
students rise to protest this daily violence, they are
gunned down by the National Guard and then
found guilty of their own murders.
The indictment of student leaders at Kent State
symbolizes the complete breakdown of American
justice and sense of proportion. We are blind to
widespread deaths in Asia, yet indict those who
raise their voice against it. We are blind to the
repressive policies at home, and exonerate those
who fulfill them.
This is precisely the policy of the national
administration. Anti-crime bills bring thousands of
FBI agents on the campuses, lock citizens in jail
without bail or charge or trial, while government
lawyers effectively sabotage the prosecution of
those who massacre Vietnamese children. Moreover,
our determined support of the landed elite in
agrarian nations results in massive death and destruction. This nation is engaged in the systematic
erosion of democracy and minority rights here and
abroad.
But now we are tired of demonstrating and we are
tired of beating our heads against brick walls. It
seems as if we have accepted defeat and the
demoralization that it brings.
The fact remains thai the Vietnamese people are
tired of fighting and the fact remains that the
leaders of the Kent State government have been
arrested just this week and the policies of repression
continue to escalate. President Nixon is intent on
supressing the voices thai dare raise their heads
against him, whether those voices be New York
senators or student government leaders. There will
be more Kenl States and more Jackson Stales and,
as the trial of Black Panther Vernon Bowcn shows,
it could happen here.
The issue for us is not whether we are violent,
whether we are violent or not, the police will be
violent. Since the student strike, the Defense Department has appropriated 250,000 M-16 rifles for
use by the National Guard rifles which shool at
machine-gun speed and which arc currently used
against the Vietnamese people.
The issue for us is that for the moment we must
bury political differences. The issue is lhat those
whose sense of morality and proportion still exists
mobilize themselves to raise the point again and
again: that this nation is on a course doomed lo
bring the destruction of itself, destruction of ils
principles, and death or imprisonment to millions
here and abroad who stand in ils way.

In the Boston area, there have

In several of t h e handful of cases

T o the Editor:
I urge President B e n e z e t to redirect the priorities of F S A regarding t h e d i s b u r s e m e n t of its
net profits.
A c c o r d i n g to the 1 9 6 8 - 6 9 audit,
the latest audit of F S A as of n o w ,
half of F S A ' s $ 7 5 , 0 0 0 of e x p e n d itures was a p p r o p r i a t e d t o t h e
" m a i n t e n a n c e and o p e r a t i o n s " of
the Mohawk and Dippikill campuses. T h e o t h e r $ 3 7 , 0 0 0 was
allocated for various university
activities which are e n u m e r a t e d ,
though s o m e w h a t vaguely, on the
attached copy.
T h e profits t h a t are a c c u m u l a t e d
over the year s h o u l d be invested
in food service a n d / o r the books t o r e , so t h a t prices, m a y hf held
d o w n or reduced. This allocation
would directly be helping stud e n t s , whereas the p r e s e n t policy
benefits s t u d e n t s indirectly, if at
all. T h e reduction of the meal
contract
price a n d
bookstore
prices would hold the line on the
inflationary trend in the cost of a
college e d u c a t i o n .

FLQ Fight for Independence
Brings Martial Law to Canada
COLLEGE PRESS SERVICE
T h e group of r e v o l u t i o n a r y y o u t h in Q u e b e c was
s t a r t e d in 1000 by George Shoesters, a University of
Montreal s t u d e n t w h o felt t h e " t i m e had c o m e t o
sow in the p r o v i n c e a spirit of i n d e p e n d e n c e . " T h e
small group emerged from under the d i c t a t o r s h i p of
former Premier Maurice DuPlossis a n d t h e r e was a
strong taste a m o n g university radicals for a state of
liberation. T o o often they had seen Q u e b e c o i s
workers engaged in b i t t e r bloodshed b a t t l e s with t h e
police force of the province over the rights t o strike
for belter wages and living c o n d i t i o n s . Because of
the colonial s i t u a t i o n , Quebecois were worse off
than workers in Canada. As a c o n q u e r e d ualion,
Quebecois were o p p r e s s e d as workers a n d as Francophones,
A n u m b e r of sporadic b o m b i n g s in the posh
English s u b u r b of Weslmoimt sparked Tear a m o n g
the Montreal managerial class that lives there, bill
the revolutionary group then lacked training, discipline and m o n e y , and as a result, m a n y of their
a t t e m p t s proved to be abortive. Soon however, t h e
F L Q invoked strict disciplinary measures on its
m e m b e r s a n d t h e group b e c a m e m u c h m o r e selective in its recruiting campaign.
What followed in t h e next four years were
h o l d u p s of large banks, financial h o u s e s o w n e d by
English Canadians or Americans, and d e p a r t m e n t
stores, all which has helped to finance t h e organization against " t h e English ruling c l a s s . " With the
inflow of discipline, a firm revolutionary ideology
and m o r e financial backing, tho F L Q has been able
to e x t e n d its o p e r a t i o n s into cells technically free
from each other with m e m b e r s not k n o w i n g the
m e m b e r s of others. Tins cell n e t w o r k has m a d e the
work of the federal a u t h o r i t i e s an almost insurm o u n t a b l e task.
T h e spark that lit volatile Quebec c a m e early
Monday m o r n i n g , Oct. f>, when J a m e s Richard
Cross, Senior British Trade Commissioner in Mon
h e a l , was k i d n a p p e d from his plush u p p e r Wesl

publication of a manifesto they bad p r e p a r e d , the

Q u e b e c newspapers, i m m e d i a t e halt of any police
activity in t h e h u n t for the kidnapped d i p l o m a t .
T h e F L Q gave t h e g o v e r n m e n t s involved 48 h o u r s t o
comply.
T h e first waves of c o n c e r n immediately rippled
through g o v e r n m e n t c h a m b e r s at both the federal
and provincial levels and what was to follow was a
chess game b e t w e e n flabbergasted g o v e r n m e n t officials and the F L Q m e m b e r s , which has resulted,
thus far, in the imposition of the War Measure Act
a n d the death of L a b o u r Minister Pierre L a p o r t e .
On T u e s d a y , Oct, 6, word was passed on by
federal a u t h o r i t i e s , federal, provincial a n d local
police in Montreal and Q u e b e c city to impost? light
security measures but " t o play it cool and d o n ' t
panic the a b d u c t o r s . " T h a t smae day the Q u e b e c
cabin-el held an emergency three-hour session in an
a t t e m p t to c o m e to grips with a situation they said
" t h r e a t e n e d " the freedom of Canadians.
Since Oct. ft, t h e provincial and federal a u t h o r i t i e s
have been h o l d i n g h a n d s . T h e a t t e m p t to root out
t h e F L Q " a b d u c t o r s " and halt " s u b v e r s i o n " in
Q u e b e c has been carried on mainly by u n d e r c o v e r
police w h o are in t o u c h with the FBI, Scot land

" I t is a time t o heal and build
u p , a time t o speak, a t i m e for
p e a c e . " T h i s was the essence of
t h e message presented at F r i d a y ' s
m e m o r i a l service held in response
t o the events at Kent S t a t e .
The
memorial
service
was
o p e n e d by David Neufeld, Stud e n t Association President, and
carried on by four clergymen and
Dean O. William P e r l m u t t e r . The
first clergyman t o speak, Revere n d F r a n k Snow, addressed the
crowd of a b o u t 1 50 present, and
led t h e m in prayer for those w h o
had died over the last d e c a d e . He
told the crowd t h a i they had died
for " d e c e n c y and p e a c e in our
land and a r o u n d the world...these
p e o p l e t h o u g h t t h a t t h e y were
doing the service of m a n k i n d , and
then were betrayed by m a n k i n d . "
T h e next o r a t o r urged those
present t o "divorce themselves
from the controversial issues."
"We are a b o u t the same thing, and
will c o n t i n u e t o do the s a m e thing
until t h a t which we are trying to
create is realized." " I t is s a d , " he
said, " t h a t Lhosc c o n c e r n e d and
d e d i c a t e d Lo s o m e t h i n g may lose
their lives."
" W e are here t o h o n o r victims
and m a r t y r s , but we arc also here
t o h o n o r freedom, " said Reverend
William Small. T h e Reverend rem i n d e d the ever dwindling group
p r e s e n t t h a t "violence does in fact
beget v i o l e n c e . " "We m u s t build a
new s o c i e t y , " be c o n t i n u e d , " w e
m u s t love and n o t h a t e , we m u s t
'orgive even WIILMI a n g r y , " this is
the way to build.
T h e n e x t to speak from t h e
r o s t r u m was Father Paul Smith.
While he asserted t h a t t h o s e gathered h a d c o m e t o m e m o r i a l i z e
those w h o had laid d o w n their
lives, he also affirmed t h a t those
present
had come
to
gather
strength. "We m u s t find a creative, imaginative a p p r o a c h t o militance, b u t we must n o t let the
hatred of others drag us d o w n to
their level," be r e m i n d e d the
group.
T h e Dean of the College of Arts
and Sciences, and also a former
faculty m e m b e r at Kent Stale, O.
William Perlmutter, was the last
scheduled speaker, lie referred to
the past year as a " b r u t a l and
tragic o n e lor the young and for
those c o n c e r n e d with American
ed u c a t i o n . "
"We're
somewhat
b e a t e n " he c o n t i n u e d , "anil the
last b l o w c o m e s o u t of Ravena
and K e n t a n d a strange grand
jury."
P e r l m u t t e r described t h e m o o d
of t h e n a t i o n as o n e t h a t "seeks
revenge a n d vindictiveness, t h a t
seeks t o divide a n d b r e a k . " He
said t h a t this m u s t b e a time " n o t
for breaking o r hat, b u t rather a
time for reconciliation, unders t a n d i n g , a t i m e for healing." T h e
Dean s p o k e particular!' of the
University's role in the creation of
this n e w m o o d . T h e University, as
he envisioned it, is a place of
service—service t o p e o p l e . " T h e
U n i v e r s i t y , " h e said, "is a place to
share h u m a n i t y . "
P e r l m u t t e r referred to the Scranton R e p o r t as an a t t e m p t t o
" r e m a k e A m e r i c a in its own
i m a g e . " " T h e t i m e , " he conc l u d e d , "is to let things be, not t o
stir up t h o s e w h o have undergone
violence."
Dean P e r l m u t t e r ' s speach was to
have c o n c l u d e d the service, but
t h e r e were some a m o n g the audience w h o were evidentally not
pleased by the t h r u s t of the memorial. One girl in a fringed suede
jacked w e n t t o the p o d i u m and
pierced the heavy air of the ballr o o m . " W e are n o t memorializing
our b r o t h e r s a n d s i s l e r s , " she
positied, " w e are trampling on
their g r a v e s . " " H o w can we memorialize fascism?" she declared.
J o h n K a u f m a n , a graduate ins t r u c t o r in history, and also active
in last y e a r ' s strike activities,
denied t h a t this was a time for
reconciliation. He cited the relationship b e t w e e n the y o u n g and
Nixon as irreconcMiable. " R e c o n c i l i a t i o n , " he said, "is to live in a
d r e a m w o r l d . " He told the group
to t h i n k of Agnew and then t o
think of Charles O'Reilly . T h e
Bo wen issue he c o n t e n d e d , c a n n o t
he dealt with by reconciliation.
He w e n t o n t o c o m m e n t t h a t
military research o n c a m p u s must
be s t o p p e d , and also made special
n o t e of the fact that there was a
police a c a d e m y on the periphery
of t h e c a m p u s . He closed by
declaring t h a t " w e must struggle
to kill t h o s e w h o keep us from
our freedom—All Power l o the
People!"
Q u e s t i o n s concerning the role of
the
University
were
tossed
about.
A continuing
concern
seemed t o revolve a b o u t t h e question of w h o o w n e d t h e University.
Dean P e r l m u t t e r fielded questions
and a t t e m p t e d to defend his position as s t a t e d in his speech.
