H War Protest in Albany
Draws Small Turnout
by Candy Cavallaro
An ASP Feature
"You know, the blacks look up to him...like he's
a god or something"... ten black children beamed up
at the short, stocky man clad in blue denim overalls
pinstriped shirt, tie and leather hat. "I'm surprised
he's so short-he has so much energy, I expected him
to be overbearing."
Pete Jones stepped up to the mike, and described,
movingly, colorfully, the situation in the Albany
ghetto that so urgently demanded the community's
help.
This situation concerns the children. Most kid-s in
the black ghetto do not eat a meal until eight
o'clock in the evening. Since both parents usually
work, the adults are absent from the home from
seven in the morning until five or six in the
afternoon.
The children receive free, cold milk and cereal at
school in the morning, and those few who are lucky
enough to have forty cents, can buy lunch. Otherwise, they scrounge whatever they can find, steal, or
beg. Usually they are hungry. You don't see many
overweight kids on the south side of Albany.
Officially, the children are to receive lunch even if
they do not have forty cents. In reality, school
officials overlook this rule. "A system as hard as any
iron you ever saw" was Pete's description of the
school system and the state and federal governments. Since no one will appropriate money to feed
hungry children, the community must assume the
task.
Pete Jones feels that it is his responsibility to feed
the kids, and to move the community to action. He
started feeding two or three children in the afternoon in an empty room above his restaurant,
appropriately called "Our Place." Now he feeds
sixty kids a day, at his own expense.
Although neighbors assist in preparing and serving
the food, which requires only a few hours a day,
money and food are needed to continue the
operation. In addition, Pete is asking members of
the community to help clean up the ghetto and to
establish a low-cost day c a re center.
Several mothes brought the need for such a center
to his attention. Federally run centers are not
accessible to the "working poor," those people who
do work, but who cannot afford the fifteen dollars
per child per week, and to those children who do
not belong to the three to five age group.
The modestly priced program Pete has proposed is
not as formally structured as regular day care
centers, but it would provide food for the children.
"The hell with arts and crafts"..if a child does not
have "food in his belly," any supplementary programs are futile. Therefore, a primary part of the
proposed "Supervision Center" will be three complete meals each day. The center is thus named to
avoid the requirements which the government sets
for a "Day Care Center."

By reducing the staff, unessential equipment, and
extravagant facilities, the rates can be significantly
reduced to ten dollars for one child, eighteen dollars
for two children, and twenty-five dollars for three
children or more, per week.
Although the benefits of the "extras" of regular
day care centers may be argued, it may also be
pointed out that the environment of the proposed
"Supervision Center" will be far healthier than the
homes from which the children come.
The unhealthy environment of the Albany ghetto
was viewed by the audience through a looseleaf
notebook and several slides which were shown by
Pete. Rubble, deteriorated buildings, unsanitary
facilities and hungry, dirty children pleaded with
one's human compassion and conscience. The only
brightness was in the races of those cleaning up the
rubble.
Volunteers from Colonie , Bethlehem-Central and
other local high schools have been painting and
cleaning up the ghetto for nearly two years. Most of
their materials, such as the poor, watery, varicolored
paints, are donated. Money earned in "Soul food
dinners" at Bethlehem-Central High is also being
used. Still, these materials arc not nearly adequate
Money, and people possessing skills in electrical
wiring, plumbing and the finishing of floors are
desperately needed. Pete Jones is pleasing with the
community to help in his battle against poverty. He
believes that the most important aspect of life is in
relating to and helping people. The smiling faces of
well fed kids arc proor of what can be accomplished.
Every member of the university community
should be concerned with and involved in this
problem. Students wanted "relevance" last spring,
yet, so far, no one has attempted to achieve it. Most
students do not even realize the existence of a
ghetto in Albany. Helping Pete Jones in the black
ghetto is a real, relevant, concrete form of protest,
the results of which include immediate personal
gratification.
WSUA Hurt in Fund Loss
$1,000 left from WSUA's original
budget, the future of the station
this year is in a dangerous position.
The action came as a result of a
tumultuous discussion, featuring
allegations of mismanagement, accusations of misrepresentation by
cerLain Council members, calls for
mass resignations from the WSUA
staff and frequent pleas "to get
this over with," followed by an
equally confused vote.
A roll call vote was taken, resulting in a peculiar 11-1-14 causing
considerable consternation over
the fuel that the abstensions won.
Arguments then ensued over how
the abstaining votes should be
counted, and whether or not it
was 'legal' for members to change
their votes. Finally, another vote
was taken, resulting in a 10-10-6
vote which is interpreted by Student Association rules us defeating

The results of the Ad Hoc Com.
mittee to Supervise Operations of
WSUA were presented to Council
on October K by committee chairman Tom CHngan. The report
discussed the problems faced by
the station in moving WSUA uptown and going FM stereo. Certain recommendations (primarily
concerned with greater supervision of financial operations
through advisors to the business
manager, and frequent conferences with the engineers of the
UniversiLy Center for Educational
Communication before changes
are determined) were accepted
with some amendments by Council. Although the report did not
completely ubsolve alt the WSUA
personnel of guilt, it pointed out
that several of the violations may
huve led to substantial savings in
lime and money for WSUA Moreover, since most, of the contested
expenditures occurred over the
summer, consultation with Council
seemed next-to-impossible.
Wasserman, in his letter, sharply
questioned the advisability of
further funding when the station
had not followed Hie Ad Hoc
Committee's recommendations in
seeking consultation with UCEC
engineers. His letter dealt primarily with his own conversation with
Salvatore De Craepeo from UCEC
concerning the budget supplement. Tom Clingan held that the
procedures used in this instance
by the stations were completely in
accord with the committee's recommendations, and charged that
Wasserman was misrepresenting
DeCruepeo's views.
Thursday's meeting attempted
to clarify the issues before deciding on the additional money.

by Al Serin
Students will have a greater voice in the running of SUN YA's Faculty-Student Association, as a result of
an amendment in the by-laws approved at the annual meeting of the F.S.A. membership board held last
Wednesday afternoon in President Bene/,et's office.
The amendment changes the make-up of the Board of Directors which is responsible for setting priorities
and overseeing month-by-month operations of F.S.A.
Previously, this board had consisted of ten members, seven of whom were administrators. Student
membership was limited to the President of the Graduate Student Body and President of Central Council.
There was also one faculty member.
Thus, Albany State students found themselves having no meaningful voice in the expenditure of F.S.A.
monies, mostly collected from students through the bookstore, vending machines, and food service
operations.
It is hoped that the revision will change this. The board of directors will now consist of a triumverate
membership- three administrators, three students, and three faculty members. The President of the
Graduate Student Association, and the President and Vice-President of Central Council (Student
Association) will be the student members.
The actual amendment was
introduced at last week's F.S.A.
membership meeting by Student
Association Vice-President Mike
Lumper I, The membership board
meets annually to choose directors
of the corporation and to transact
"such other business as may come
before the meeting."
Usually, the "other business"
consists of a financial report, a
director's report and a very superficial review of F.S.A.'s already
approved budget. Th e membership
body consists of 2f) individuals;
seven each from the faculty,
administration and undergraduate
student body, and four graduate
students.
The undergraduates, led by S.A.
President Dave Neufeld and VicePresident Lamport, attempted to
have this changed also. But the
more conservative elements of the
administration spoke out against
itudents getting increased power on

daring th»t in light of the committee recommendations, further
budgetary allocations could only
serve to help improve the station
and aid the student body, not
cause greater financial error.
The heart of the question, according to Clingan and Lenny
Kopp, was the issue of whether
Council has the right to meddle
into the inner workings of the
various stud ent activities. Highlighted at several points in the
discussion was the fact that Council members did not really understand how a radio station works.
Station representatives also bitterly denounced those opposing
them who h ad never seen the
station.
Lenny Kopp* added a more
down-to-earth touch in this argument by stating that the signal
received on Dutch Quad this year
was presently very clear, a huge
improvement over last year's static. With this particular tangible
evidence of improvement, station
management must be working
toward the betterment of WSUA
on campus.
Wasserman stuck by his original
statement that the top eight officials of the station should resign
to allow for more 'trustworthy'
management. Asserting that he,
too, would like to see a better
radio station and would even vote
for further appropriations, the
present management of WSUA
would make this an elusive goal.
Dick Wesley supported the
management by stressing their
personal dedication in coverage of
events at their own expense. Station Manager Keith Mann, personally attacked in comments by
several Council members, had taken command o f the station in a
"time of crisis," said Wesley, and

rest of the station management)

Mortgaging the Environment
by Dave Comarow
Last year at a prod uctivity con ference held here at
SUNY A, one of the guest speakers presented what
many ecologists consider a hair- brained
interpretation of the hu man ecosystem. Dr. Tom
Odum made an honest attempt to quantify an
intuitive feeling that must have lurked in the back
of his mind for years-thateconomi'es are extensions
of the biological natures of man-and, in fact, that
money is a representation of energy output (or
storage) by man. Most ecologists snicker and dismiss
the whole concept, saying you can't equate dollars
to ergs. But I think they are missing a very
important point. Even if money is no t related
directly and mathematically to human expenditure,
it is at least affected by the unbelievably complex
system of interactions in the ecosystem of man.
The economy of a country is a function of the
state of the ecosystem of that country. For
examp le, increased particulate pollution of the
atmosphere decreases the amount of light energy that
is able to reach the ground. This results in a decrease
in crop yield, thus the price of the crop goes up!
Western man has co me to feel himself above
nature; his economies reflect this. It doesn't matter
to Tobin Meat Packing Company of Albany that it
is polluting Patroon Creek (which has been shown
to contain typhoid and salmonella) as long as its
profits go up every year.
The same is true of every company in America.
Big business is flushing its toilet into your back yard
and spending billions every year attempting to
convince you to look out your front window. There
must be an epidemic of acute myopia in the board
sof directors' meeting rooms all around America!
by Mitch Zoler
After former Senator Wayne Morse gave his speech Mon day October
26, a grou p of seven students had the opportunity to have an
additional, informal discussion with. The bulk of the session dealt
with Mr. Morse's views of the hearing held before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee in 1964 concerning the Gulf of Tonkin
Resolution. He also emphasized the lack of support he got those days
from today's Vietnam doves and touched on the position of President
Kennedy on Vietnam just before Kennedy was shot.
The questioning opened with a reference to Mr. Morse's statement
during his speech that just prior to Tonkin, Secretary of Defense
McNamara came before the Foreign Relations Committee and
declared his intention to invade China. Only after China experts were
called in, and stated the infeasibility of such a plan (at least three
million men needed and years of occupation of China) did Joh nson
relent and called the mission off. One student expressed his shock that
this incident was never publicized although it had been read into the
Congressional Record twice in speeches by Mr. Morse. The former
Senator replied by saying "90 % of what was said on the floor
concerning Vietnam was never publicized."
It was in response to the next question that Mr. Morse delved into
his remembrances of Tonkin, He said that just before the hearings a
sailor from the Maddox (the ship that was supposedly attacked by
North Vietnamese) came to his office and told Mr. Morse that
although he cou Id give no specific information on the incident, he
advised that the Senator ask Joh nson's representatives two questions:
What mission was the Maddox on? Where was the Maddox?
According to Mr. Morse, this tipped him off that he might not be
told the truth during the hearings. He therefore paid particular
attention to the responses of Rusk, Rostow, Bund y, Katzenbach,
MacNamara, et. al. when he asked them these two questions. In his

Functionally, the other economies of the world
are no better. They too are based on expansion and
growth, the flushing chain of the world toilet.
If economies are affected by the state of the
ecosystem, then as the ecosystem deteriorates so
will the economies of the world. Dr. Ken neth Watt
of the University of California at Davis, speaking
here last week, said that two independent computer
simulations predicted the complete failure of the
American economy within 36 months. I don't
dou bt it!
Not forgetting that the economy of the U.S. is just
a part of the ecosystem, we can predict some of the
effects of any economy that completely falls apart.
The first effect (according to Watt) will be a
decrease in the birth rate. This happened as a result
of the depression of the 30's-a clear example of
economic change affecting the ecology of a country.
A second effect will no doubt be a change in the
political attitude of the populace. People will be fed
up with the Nixon -Agnew-Cornings of America.
This may open the country to some interesting
possibilities- the adoption of an econo mic system
that acknowledges that it is a part of of every man
(which automatically implies the well-being of the
environment).
What a system like that would look like, I will not
even venture to guess; but this is what the
economists of the world had better develop. Some
are on the right path. One economist from Cornell
has been developing a model of an economy based
on stability, not growth. That's a start. Will it take

A s E r n e s t Boyer assumes th e post o f Ch ancellor of
t h e S t a t e University of N e w Y o rk he faces challenges m u c h greater than those that ever faced Sam
Gould.
As Chancellor it w a s S a m G o u l d ' s j o b t o build a
physical p l a n t and fill it with s t u d e n t s . O t h e r than
this f u n d a m e n t a l p h i l o s o p h y set b y p o l i t i c i a n s ,
G o u l d c o u l d r u n t h e University basically as he saw
fit a n d p r e v e n t political i n t e r f e r e n c e . If G o u l d
w a n t e d a m a n d a t o r y S t u d e n t Activities P e e , h e
could get A r t h u r Levitt to find h i m a w a y t o d o it.
G o u l d c o u l d generally keep t h e s t a t e - w i d e politics
out of t h e University.
T h e t w o major tasks facing E r n e s t B o y e r a r e m u c h
greater t h a n t h e tasks that ever faced S a m G o u l d .
The first task is t o m a k e t h e U n i v e r s i t y f u n c t i o n .
T h e University h a s m a n y n e w a n d shiny facilities,
and a m u c h larger n u m b e r of faculty a n d s t u d e n t s
t h a n ever before. N e w ! factors, s u c h as the T a y l o r
(public e m p l o y e e s ' collective bargaining) L a w m u s t
be assimilated by t h e University.
People a n d c o n c r e t e d o n o t m a k e a University. A s
a Chancellor's task force is p r e s e n t l y a s k i n g : " W h a t
is the p u r p o s e of t h e U n i v e r s i t y ? " T h e Chancellor
now has t o b e c o m e c o n c e r n e d w i t h q u e s t i o n s like:
"While d o r m s h o u s e m a n y s t u d e n t s , are d o r m
facilities l i v a b l e ? " Dr. Boyer m u s t b e m o r e concerned with p e o p l e a n d their n e e d s t h a n Mr. G o u l d
ever w a s . T h e s e q u e s t i o n s have no precise answers,
as t h e questions of cost for n e w d o r m s did. T h e s e
are questions, however, t o chich Dr. Boyer m u s t try
to find answers.
Th e second major tusk facing Chancellor Boyer is
relating t h e University to the p e o p l e of the S t a l e ,
and relating t h e S t a t e t o the p e o p l e of t h e Univ^rsiyt. Sam G o u l d c o u l d say " s t a y o u t of my
University" t o t h e politicians a n d bo listened t o .
Because of the times. Dr. Boyer c a n n o t . S t u d e n t s
t o d a y have realized they m u s t sp eak o u t against
social injustices they perceive. T h e y try t o interact
with the c o m m u n i t y , b o t h in small groups and mass
actions. But in so doing, t h e y have forced t h e
c o m m u n i t y t o realize they exist, and t h a t t h e y
disagree w i t h the decisions of the c o m m u n i t y . N u
c o m m u n i t y likes to be challenged. T h e c o m m u n i t y
will respond.
Dr. Buyer's second task, in essence, then, is t o
e d u c a t e t h e c o m m u n i t y that a University is a place
that challenges the values of a society. T h e comm u n i t y m u s t be taught that t h e University, as a
center of rational t h o u g h t , m u s t tolerate a variety of
views. T h e University mu s t he e d u c a t e d t h a t the
c o m m u n i t y will react t o being challenged. T h e
University m u s t be e d u c a t e d t h a t p e o p l e feel t h a t
State monies imply State c o n t r o l s . T h e n e w Chancellor m u s t e d u c a t e t w o groups t h a t have very
different points of view t o respect each o t h e r , and
he m u s t teach t h e m h o w t o successfully interact.

It is election day today. T h e p e o p l e o f this nation
will walk into a b o o t h , p ull a lever, and c h o o s e a
Congress that will guide them for the next few
years. It is 1 9 7 0 , and fear stalks this divided land.
T h e professional politicians are dealing with a
frightened electorate, an electorate fearful o f inflationary paychecks, o f bombings in the middle o f the
night, o f riots in the ghettoes and o n the campuses.
Scared o f their o w n children.
That is w h y it is such a sickening spectacle t o
watch, this election day. T h e politicians recognize
this fear and they exploit it, capitalize o n it for
personal profit.
This is an election personified in slander and lies,
in simplistic a n s w e r s and outright deceit. It is
N i x o n , w h o pledged t o "Bring Us Together,"
stumping the nation for law-and-order and against
an imagined radical-liberal political c o n s p iracy.
It is Buckley and his A m e r i c a n flag, Rockefeller
t r y i n g on h a r d h a t s , G o o d e l l
fshouted d o w n by
construction workers.
It is Agnew calling d e m o n s t r a t o r s " g a r b a g e " a n d
pledging t h a t this is t h e t i m e t o " s q u e e z e t h e m o u t
of this s o c i e t y . "
It is 1 9 5 0 again, a n d J o e M c C a r t h y has risen from
the d e a d ; only we are t h e ou tlaws n o w , o u r life-style
replacing c o m m u n i s m as a m e n a c e t o A m e r i c a n

A n d on t h e c a m p u s e s we are left...where? T w o
years since Chicago, o n e since Washington, 6
m o n t h s since Kent. M o r a t o r i u m s , m a r c h i n g , even
striking seems futile. What n o w ?
T h e a n s w e r m a y be forced on us t o n i g h t . T h e
danger is t h a t w h e n t h e results a r e flashed across o u r
screens w e will see the s y s t e m d a m n e d o n c e and for

A g n e w will be right. By 1 9 7 2 , we will be squeezed
out. You c a n be sure t h a t N i x o n will have forced us

T h i s is t h e true s t a k e o f this election d a y . T h e

The Other Day at the Issue Factory
by Harry K i r s c h n e r
Having h e a r d s o m e t h i n g over
the radio a b o u t an election going
on a r o u n d this t i m e of year, I
decided t o e d u c a t e myself about
the
issues of
the
campaign.
L o o k i n g for t h e m e n w h o make
the issues, 1 was pleased t o find
out thut 1 had t o see only one
m a n for all t h r e e
candidates,
since ho was e m p l o y e d by each of
Lhem. Right n e x t t o his office
were lots o f New York
Times
buck
issues ; p l e n t y of w o o d e n
p l a t f o r m s with ull sorts of holes in
them.
The
mini's n a m e
w a s leon
Census a n d h e e x p l a i n e d this
year's e l e c t i o n issue s i m p l y , saying,
"My
candidates
are
running
against v i o l e n c e , " N e e d l e s s t o say.
1 was very discouraged
upon
rinding
out
that
a
fourth
c a n d i d a t e n a m e d Violence was
running for office, h u t I lint my
d i s a p p o i n t m e n t . I asked him I "
e l a b o r a t e on his s t a t e m e n t .
" P e o p l e are sick of strikes, and
b o m b s , a n d o b s c e n i t i e s (verbal
violence), a n d t h e y are nut likely
to
elect
someone
soil
on
violence."
"I
guess violence is pretty
u n p o p u l a r the-.e d a y s , " I broke in
" I t d e p e n d s w h o is using it
against w h o m , " e x p l a i n e d Mr.
Census; s o m e of it is t o l e r a t e d and
some of it is n o t . " I then asked
Icon to tell m e which violence is
tolerated a n d which isn't. " T h a t ' s
easy. T h e cases involving violence
by a u t h o r i t i e s
are n o t only
tolerable,
they're
downright
popular. If I h a d t o give y o u o n e
concrete thing we w e r e r u n n i n g
against violence w i t h , I'd say it
was a u t h o r i t y .
Respect
for
authority rings the bell this y e a r . "
Hells hells, 1 t h o u g h t t o myself,
deciding
to throw away the
(ling-uling- q u e s t i o n s I h a d p r e p a r e d
seeing they w o u Id have little
appeal.
" T b e n I guess t h e e l e c t i o n is
between a u t h o r i t y a n d v i o l e n c e . "
T o this Icon replied, " I t ' s n o t so
I'usy. You speuk as if those are
mutually exclusive c o m m o d i t i e s .
If everyone saw tilings as simply
as you d o , o u r voter- e d u c a t i o n
campaigns w o u l d be m u c h m o r e
pleasant." 1 tried t o bide my
blush, n o t wanting t o lie p i n n e d
with any political l e a n i n g . "
"You
see, o u r p l a t f o r m
is
inconsistent.
.Should
we have
respect fur a u t h o r i t y , w e would
also have respect for violence. A t
present,
it
is
difficult
to
differentiate b e t w e e n respect for
a u t h o r i t y a n d fear,
which is
caused by violence s a n c t i o n e d by
authority."
"Well,
if you k n o w
your
platform
is inconsistent, w h y
d o n ' t y o u change i t ? " asked this
naive reporter.
This a m u s e d Mr. Census, a n d
after
be picked
himself
up
from'lcen m i n u t e s of rolling on
the floor he said, " L o o k y o u
idiot, you d o n ' t change a winner.
D o n ' t t h e y teach y o u a n y t h i n g in
college?"
Sensing a growing hostility, I
decided In e n d my interview at
this
point.
I walked
home
struggling w i t h Hie problem o f
violence a n d a u t h o r i t y and what
tlicirelationsliip is. While on thi
walk 1 was mugged, which made
me very upset until I found a note
saying my muggers were form t h e
police d e p a r t m e n t . Naturally I
decided t o a c c e p t my fate with
pride,
knowing
I had been
manhandled
authoritatively
by
New Y o r k ' s f i n e s t a n d not by
some hippie fag.

Danes End Bad Weekend With Loss To Marist
and found that instead of having
the requ ired 46 seats, the vehicle
could only hold 38. Fortunately,
those eight men were able to get
to the game.
When the Danes arrived at
Marist and went into the locker
room, they were greeted by the
Kings College soccer team who
were employing 25 o f the 30
lockers. Trying not to put on
soccer cleats instead of football
shoes, State managed to present
itself onthe field, despite a
decided lack of mental edge.
Things went from bad to worse
as quarterback Bill Flanagan
broke his hand on the first play
from scrimmage. He was replaced
by freshman Qordie Kupperstein.
The first period was scoreless
with the Danes being helped by
Marist errors which led to many
costly penalties for the Vikings.
The Albany offense was unable to
hold onto the ball, however, an d
thus the defense was on the field
for more than its share of the
game.
by Dave Fink
The Great Dane Football Club
went south to Marist Saturday to
play a very good Viking team. The
home club was ranked eighth in
the nation among club teams
before the game, while being rated
second among clubs and junior
colleges in the state.
Marist proved t o o tough for
Albany to handle as they whipped
them, 45-6. It was the end of a
hectic two days for the team, a
mess of confusion which began on
Friday. Early in the day, Coach
F o r d l e a r n e d t h a t starting
defensive tackle Bob Downey was
in the infirmary with an intestinal
virus. He also found out that
starters Dick Wesley (offensive
guard) and co-captain Royce Van
Evera (safety) would not be able
to p lay after he had thought that
they would be ready.
Saturday's pregame meal added
to the con fusion as it was served
15 minutes late. Upon finishing,
the team went to board the bus
The Vikings scored three times
in the second quarter to take a
20-0 lead into the locker room.
Seeing the Danes come out for the
second half, however, was like
seeing a new foo tball team.
Charged up, they went out and
took the momentum from Marist.
After trapping the home team
near their goal line, State scored
when defensive end Butch
McGuerty knocked down an
attempted pitch out and fell on it
in t h e e n d zone
fo;the
touchdown. This made the score
20-6 and it seemed like the tide
was changing.
Then the roof fell in. State
kicked off and proceded to hold
Marist fourth down, the Vikings
went into punt formation. Albany
just missed blocking it and
Marist's punter got off a 55 yard
boomer. The Danes jumbled on
the first play thereafter and the
home team wasted no time in
scoring on the next play. The rest
is history, for this p roved to be
the turning point.
Coach Ford, while contending
that the team did not play well on
the whole, was quick to admit
that the coaches made two big
mistakes. First they didn't adjust
quickly enough to Marist's
blitzing tactics wh ich forced
Kupperstein to throw more than
he wanted to and second, they
didn 't adjust the defense to cope
with a new offensive formation
which Co ach Ford regretably said
they should have anticipated.
Consequently, he felt that white
Marist was a good football team,
and that their defensive quickness
was excellent, he saw Albany
mistakes, both from a coaching
and playing viewpoint as being
strong contributing factors in the
loss.

Booters Tied by RIT, 3-3
by Bob Zaremba
The Albany State soccer team
will go into its final contest of the
season with a 2-8-1 mark. The last
game is against Union College on
Thursday.
In their most recent effort, the
Dane booters battled RIT to a 3-3
tie this past Saturday. Albany's
Freddy Campbell provided his
team with all three of their scores,
two in the first half and one in the
last.
Cumpbell put one through unassisted to open the scoring early
in the game, but RIT tied things
up in the second quarter. Fred
tallied a second time on an assist
from Larry Herzog to give Albany
a 2-1 lead to take into halftime
and make the gatorade taste better.
The lead lasted ten minutes into
the second half before RIT knotted things up again. Campbell

two guitarists and a lead singer
who was a good mimic of Mick
Jagger, was not bad, but it could
not approach the quality of Clapton.
Their last song ended with a
good guitar solo which the
audience appreciated. As Toe Fat
closed they received a good reaction. (Is this because they were
finally through?)
What can be said about Eric
Clapton? He came on like an
explosion and kept the power
going all through his performance.
His back-up group , Derek and the
Dominoes, was extremely good.
The group was only three pieces,
an organ, a guitar, and drums, but
together with Clapton formed an
unbeatable combination.
Clapton's music is innovative
and exciting. He's a true artist in
every sense of the word. His performance was flawless, and a
stimulating experience for the
audience.
After every number, Clapton
r e c eived thunderous applause.
During the last song, the drummer
beat out a fantastic solo and
received a standing ovation. The
audience remained standing long
after the song's finish.
Eric Clapton had played for two
hours, and no amount of applause
and yells could bring him back for
an encore. This was the only
disappointment of the entire evening.
One additional word of praise
should be given. The technical
crews, especially lighting, did a
tremendous job in contributing to
the total effect of the concert.

The Death of Patroon Creek
by Barry Oblas
Barry Oblas was a member of a nub-group of PYE
(Protect Your Environment) which was specifically
concerned with water pollution. He is presently an
instructor in the EOP department.
Late last winter with snow still on thu ground, a small group of
students from SUNYA began an environmental investigation of the
Patroon Creek. The creek originates at the Six Mile Resevoir and then
runs through the heartland of Albany, eventually emptying its water
into the Hudson River just south of the Menands Bridge.
According to various sources, the Patroon Creek was once clean. Its
waters were crystal clear, safe for drinking and swimming, In addition,
the fishing in the creek was excellent with an abundance of large
Creek Chubs.
S o much for history. Our small group began to monitor the stream
We focused our attention on the area of the creek which runs
alongside the arterial and then goes under Everett Road. Not
coincidentally this is the site of the Tobin Packing Company. We
picked this site since data from the New York State Health
Department showed that Tobin's is the second worst industrial
polluter in the Albany area.
One ecologist from the Biology department at SUNYA told us we
were wasting our time since any data we obtained by monitoring was
already in the hands of the Health Department. He suggested that we
go to the Health Department for our data. However, we decided that
we were not going to be co-opted by bureaucratic methods already
known for their inefficiency.
Our immediate reaction upon reaching the site was visceral; spewing
out of visceral; spewing out of the Tobin waste outlet and directly
entering the Patroon Creek came large chunks of fat, pieces of
intestines and a disembowling smell. On certain days we noticed a
blue or green dye which would cover up the bloody emissions. Our
monitoring consisted of taking samples above and below and at the
sewer outlet. Here are some of our results:
1. One hundred yards upstream from tlie pipe, the water temperature was a normal 43 F degrees. When the effluent came in, the
temperature rose to 72 F degrees. This is an example of thermal
pollution. Living organisms, especially aquatic ones, are cold blooded
and a rapid temperature change can either kill the organism outright
or upset their reproductive habits.
2. The dissolved oxygon was less that 2 pari.:; psr million (ppm). The
law sta.lCS that a creek such as the Patroon even if it is used for
industrial purposes have a D.O. of at least ;j ppm. On a few of our
samples we recorded a D.O. of 0 ppm.
3. The phosphate concentration was greater than I ppm. This is
dangerous to all living organisms.
•I. Rats both dead and alive (and well fed) were observed In the
vicinity of the Tobin outlet. Recent studies at Hudson Valley
Community College on water taken near the Tobin outlet has show
that a strain of bacteria responsible for Typhoid is present. Preliminary tests by students at HVCC have indicated the presence o f a
bucterial strain that may cause typhoid fever. Further tests must be
run by the Health Dept. or an independent laboratory to confirm
these results. If this bacterial strain is present, there is always the
danger of the disease being spread by the rats. Furthermore, the creek
empties into the Hudson. Some communities take their drinking water
directly from the Hudson, thus, the possibility of a typhoid epidemic
is a clear and present danger.
Being an "action" group we called for picketing and an economic
boycott of Tobin's. Led by Joe Slack, Ed Shaw (1 can still remember
Ed sticking a bottle of Tobins water in Mayor Coming's face) Chuck
Hood, and Kris Mealy, we paraded in front of Tobin's with signs such
ah TOBINS IS A PIG NATION. Friendly workers laughed along with
us while others gave us the finger and called us long-haired Commies.
The picketing was covered by the local media.
Later that evening
TV 10 came up to our lab at school. We presented our evidence
including » demonstration of whut would happen if a fish were placed
in a sample of Tobin's water. The poor goldfish keeled over in about
three minutes, but we promptly pulled it out and put it back in clean
water. (Being devoted to life, we would not let the fish die, not even
for the spectacular result on T.V.) Tobin's was given a chance to
answer our charges on the same news broadcast. Their head chemist
seemed quite embarrassed when he could not dispute our charges.
We thought we were finally getting some results. The adverse
publicity was starting to add up. But then came Cambodia, Kent Suite
and Jackson State. Tobins had won a temporary reprieve.
A few weeks later Chuck Hood and I were invited to New York City
by the State Attorney General's Office in order to give them our data.
We thought perhaps at last there was going to be some action.
However, after briefing them, they told u s that we should start a
private suit against Tobin's (A suit has recently been filed against
Tobin by Peter Van Schaick, an Albany State student). The
representative Tor the Attorney General went on to tell us that the
Health Department has issued a directive to Tobin's saying they could
continue to discharge their wastes into the Patroon Creek until 1972.
At that time the Albany Intercept Sewer System is supposed to be
completed-Tobin's would be effectively regulated. However I seriously
doubt if this intercept system will be finished on time. A little
detective work by members of PYE has revealed that bids have not
even been made on the Patroon Creek Intercept System. Even if there
were a slight possibility of the system being completed on time^what
about the 670,000 gallons of waste pumped into the creek every day?
What about the threat of typhoid ? What about the rats and the
horrible odors? What about the destruction of the environment? What
about the poor people who must live near Tobin's? Well what about
it!?
Tobin's is violating the New York State Water Quality and Purity
Act on at least four counts. Yet the Attorney General's Office has
admitted to us they are afraid to prosecute Tobin's for fear of
embarrassing another state agency-the Health Department. WOW!
Patroon Creek is dead and Tobin's is the chief executioner-despite
this they are protected by the very agencies that are supposed to
protect the public. Where the hell is law and order now, or does that
cry for justice only apply to Blacks, Mexicans, Indians, Puerto Ricans,
and dissident youth? This summer, Mayor Corning cited Tobin's for
pollution abatement. On July 20, 1970 in the Albany Times Union he
said "that the company had done everything that could he done to
control pollution from its plant into Patroon Creek and thai the
company had made a material contribution lo the Hudson River".
Yeah, the company is oinking in the face of the people. Mayor, and so
are you.
The scene at SUNY at
Binghamton could have been
Albany a few weeks ago. Three
Harpur students have issued a suit
charging that the $2,200 appropriation to the anti-war Student
Mobilization Committee last
spring had been used "to foster
political activity beyond the confines of the SUNY Binghamton
campus." The students, Michael
Stever, Richard Glick and Barry
Kriegel, state they are acting as
"individuals." Their legal fees,
however, are being funded by the
n a t i o n a l conservati ve groupYoung Americans for Freedom.
On Friday, October 30, the
court granted a show-cause order
against Harpur Acting President S.
Stewart Gordon, the United Student Government President J.
O'Rourke, and FSA President
Demske which must be answered
by NOvember 20.
Last year President Gordon had
approved a $2,200 appropriation
requested by theSMC in order to
"increase dialogue with the community." The purpose of the
recent suit is to test the Trustees
guidelines in compliance with the
Albany case. University funds cannot be used for political activities,
but only for "educational" purposes. The SMC asserts that it
does not endorse political candidates, and therefore, is not a
political organization.
Last week in accordance with
the guidelines, President Gordon
vetoed
2 student-government
appropriations totaling $250.
These funds would directly or
indirectly have gone to the Angela
Davis defense fund.
The mandatory tax fee at
Harpur is $30. The majority of
the students willingly pay the fee
and are in opposition to the
recent suit.

Dubos Speaks on Ecology
by Anita Thayer
"The limitations in the producation and consumption of
energy" is the paramount problem
we face today according to Rene
Dubos, microbiologist and philosopher. Dubos spoke here Tuesday as the guest of the Environmental Forum.
Dubos predicted the establishment of a new "dynamic steadyslate economy" within the next
20 years which would limit
quantitative production and comsump I ion while still having the
poli-u( i.tin y for
qualilative
change.
This is the second lime in Iwo
weeks Ihiil iin ecologisl speaking
,,i SUNYA has culled for drastic
changes HI our economic strut'lure. On Oel I I, Kenneth Wall in
a definilrly more pessimistic presentation predicted an economic
collapse within ;i(i months because of the obsoleteness of the
l>resenl economic structure.
"Trend is not destiny." Scenarios for the future usually portray "human life completely enslaved by technology," according
lo DuBos. This is a view of the
future solely as an extension and
extrapolation of the present. But,
according toDuBos, this vision of
the future includes a serious fallacy. The world does not have the
natural resources to support a
continuing quantitative growth. It
is physically impossible for us to
continue growing in the present
manner.
The production of energy is the
most crucial aspect of this problem. "You cannot produce energy
by any means without producing
heat...and the introduction of
heat into the environment always
alters the quality of life."
Dubos was especially critical of
the American technological structure which he feels "must be
restructured so that it can better
work for human needs," In the
past "technology has produced
Ihings that we have used whether
I hey have helped us or not, like
the automobile."
The pop u la I in n problem,
according In Dubos, is not as
crucial as I he energy problem.
"Man has always wanted to be
crowded. Man has selected himself
lo live in crowded settlements."
American cities are much less
crowded than cities anywhere in
the world. New York Oily is much
less crowded than were Neolithic
settlements or Mideval towns.
Dubos believes that "the archi
lecture of cities should reflect the
possibilities of peoples' potentialities..Monotony is an anti-physiological condition, as well as being
boring...The maintenance of mentul stability depends on a suf-
Jean Dixon and Anne Catanese,
two students at Albany State,
along with eight other students
from the area, were victorious in
their effort to vote last Tuesday
after being denied this right under
an 1874 law.
All the students involved have
lived in apartments in Albany for
over a year. Earlier this fall they
registered to vote in their respective districts. They were given
permission to register although a
challenge was made, they were
told, as a mere formality. One
week later a policeman checking
into the case told the students
their vote wouldn't count on a
legal technicality.
Tom Maxwell, Republican fifth
ward president, told election inspectors to fight the Democratic
dominated election board's decision. Maxwell wants change in the
New York State law and statute
which states that "classes of
people will not be deemed to gain
or loose residence by virtue of
their presence or absence in seminaries of learning."
Jean, Anne, and the others received a letter from the Board of
Elections asking them to appear at
a hearing on October 31 to show
cause why they should vote in
Albany. The ten students involved
felt they met all the prerequisites
for voting in Albany County: they
are over 21, they are United
States citizens, independent from
their parents, they have jobs, they
have savings and checking accounts in Albany, and they intend
to remain in the area for an
indefinite amount of time.
When they received notice Monday, the day before the election,
that their registration was cancelled, it was already too late to
register elsewhere or vote through
an absentee ballot. The letters,
they noticed, were postmarked before the date of the interview.
After meeting with their lawyer,
John Starrs, an affadavit and petition were presented on Tuesday
before the State Supreme Court,
the only authority to grant an
order allowing the students to
vote. More students were expected to be turned away at the
polls, some with and others without notification.
Anne went in first to meet with
Judge Conway, a court reporter,
and John Clyne, the attorney for
the Albany County Democratic
legislature. Several
hours later
Judge Conway delivered his Statement of Opinion in which he
granted the students the right to
vole on the grounds that the letter
was postmarked a day earlier than
the hearing, the letter gave no
reason for the denial, and the
absence of signatures on certain
records.
Tom Maxwell has objected to
the policy of the Board of Elections. The law, applied across the
state, is vague, and is generally
used against the young who find it
hard lo establish their own residence. He further believes those
over 21 should be able to declare
where their home is. The decision
was disappointing to him because it
was made on technicalitiies, not
on the merits, of the law. Maxwell's immediate plans are to contact the president of Student Association and possibly have a
meeting with interested students.
He wants to amend the present
law so that students can work
from within the system.
John Starrs, lawyer for the students, believes the law puts an
unfair burden on students. He
feels that decisions on residence
can't be made just because someone is a student. The issue may
discourage students from making
Albany their home. Older precedents are being relied onand
Starr feels it will be hard to pursue
the intricacies of the law. A decision may be p r e ?ed for under a
civil rights clause. There are, it is
felt by Starr and Maxwell, good
reasons to pursue the case further.

"Disposable cubicles for dispensable people" are products of efficiency, of an economy centered
on production of goods. Dubos
hopes that the emphasis on efficiency will shift to an emphasis
on diversity which is more
people-centered,
Dubos sees a revolution in life
styles which has already begun as
the social vehicle which will make
possible the transition from our
current economic structure to a
