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.
ficient variety of sensory stimuli."
"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
new cine.
After his formal presentation
Dubos answered questions, and
gave encouragement to students
ant] faculty al a reception in the
art gallery.
Throughout his life Dubon has
been intensely concerned with the
e ffects
that environ mental
forces physiochemieal, biological, and social exert on human
life. He has been involved in the
soeio-medical problems of underprivileged communities where he
has concentrated on the early
environmental factors that influence the developing organism
during the prenatal and early postnatal period.
Recently Dubos has developed a
number of experimental - models
Famed microbiologist Rene Dubos makes a point to a group of
that enable him to study environmental influences on animals in students following his lecture to the Environmental Forum on

Lately, there has been a great
deal of opposition to the Peace
Corps. Spearheaded by the CRV

The reason for this is to rid the

image" that hinders them in their
efforts around the world. According to Mr. L. Lundberd, an exvolunteer in Micronesia, however,
the
Peace
Corps
is
"people...human beings relating
with each other, not politics."
On Nov. 2-4, representatives
from the Peace Corps were at
SUNYA, in search of interested
and qualified students as prospective members. Although pleased
by student interest and attendance at the interviews, movie and
panel discussion they presented,
there seemed to be a substantial
amount of student concern in
regard to the Corps' political ties.
The Peace Corps is "a way of

Where Are You?

Inside Construction
by Dennis Whitehead
Prior to this year, I am sure that if you asked
college men what type of summer employment
seemed most desirable, at least half of them would
have indicated something in construction. And why
not: the pay is good, you get in good shape, and
you gain some prestige among your peers. Over the
past year, however, the hard hat has become the
symbol of conservative America: waving the flag,
beating radicals, eating lunch with tricky Dick, and
crying like babies whenever Spiro proceeds to
polemicize the putrefaction of patriotic principles
by pestiferously perverse pupils. So when I chanced
to find a summer job with a masonry firm in
Suffolk County, I wondered just how the hard hats
would react to an "enemy" in their midst.
I was hired as a masonry laborer. This is a human
pack horse who carries around 75-pound cement
blocks (one in each hand), digs ditches, pushes
around 400-pound wheelbarrows of mortar, builds
scaffolds, etc. The laborer is considered secondary
to the bricklayer, a person who generally stands
around with other bricklayers complaining about
how lazy the laborers are, and who occasionally lays
a brick. All the rest of the work is done by the
laborers, each one of whom is supposed to take care
of three bricklayers. On any construction site, it is
easy to tell them apart: All the bricklayers are
white, and all the laborers (with one or two
exceptions) are black.
The first few days of work involved an agonizing
process of discovering just how many muscles (all of
them aching) are contained in the human body. For
the first week 1 did very little talking on the job
(mainly because I was panting), but as I got used to
the routine, I was able to converse while working.
The laborers' foreman, a gregarious black named
Lee, was the first to ask whether 1 was a college
student. My affirmative response did not pass
unnoticed:
"Hey greenie, show us some of that college
knowledge! Ha ha ha!" (Pant, pant.)
"You ought to be in good shape, kid, what with
all those protest marches and everything." (Gee, I
never thought of if that way, I feel better already.)
"Just keep your opinions to yourself, kid, and
we'll get along fine." (Oh goody.)
"Guess this is the first real work you've ever done,
eh kid?" (No, we used a very heavy bomb on the
administration building.)
"Well, young-blood., I'll bet you can't wait to get
hack to school." (Oh, I don't know—you meet so
many interesting people here.)
1 was a celebrity.
A few of the bricklayers (who make $7.76 an
hour) had kids in college, and 1 was often asked for
the "inside story" on the spring strikes and on
student attitudes in general. During lunch one day a
bricklayer sat next to me and said that his daughter
at the University of Rochester did not like Spiro T.
Agnew, and would I please explain why this was so.
"After all, lie speaks up for America, so he must be
good." I told him thai 1 didn't think that he was
making this a belter nation to live in, inasmuch as he
was attempting lo divide the country in order to
promote the more primitive elements of the RepubMean p. rly hut 1 didn't gel my point across Our

FRIDAY; NOVEMBER 6,1970
I am moved to write this mainly
by my experience at the last
meeting of Central Council's
Grievance Committee, day before
yesterday. I had the experience of
being a reporter at a meeting in
which I was the only participant;
the other person at the meeting
was the chairman of the committee, Dave Peck, and, oh yes, one
other lonely soul who wandered
in half an hour later (interrupting
our pleasant chat) to complain
about complications in the preregistration procedure. All present
speculated on whether the remaining 8,000 undergraduates on campus might have similar complaints,
and on that constructive note the
meeting of the Grievance Committee was adjourned.
But that's only beginners. Since
aspiring to contribute my services
to this, the only campus newspaper, I find I can better understand most of the great movements in this University Community, and I find that one of the
greatest of these movements begins at the Ride Board in the
Campus Center and rumbles to
Long Island and back every weekend. We're thinking of printing an
underground supplement, Bare
ASP, with which we lure people
back onto the campus with extremist rhetoric.
I suppose my complaint is somewhat unjustified, as 1 was not
around for the actions of last
Spring. Having qui! college last
year lo take a vacation from
intellectual pursuits (an idea I
would recommend to many a disillusioned student), my perspective on the Strike was that of an
outsider. The impression we out-
construction site their job is the most demanding
and, despite constant grumblings to the contrary,
the bricklayers (or any other craftsmen) know if.
While riding into town one day on the noon beer
pickup, the bricklayer with me (who was extensively tattooed, spoke with a South Carolina accent,
and carried a pack of cigarettes rolled up under the
sleeve of his bright blue over tight muscle shirt)
asked me if I was finding the job tougher than 1 had
expected, and I said yes. He told me, "Y'know, 1
used to hate niggers, all of 'em on welfare and livin'
off the whites. But. when 1 see how hard you guys
work, I'd be the first to speak up for 'em. I sure as
hell wouldn't want to work that hard."
"Would you want a black working as a bricklayer
next to you?"
"I guess so, if he was willin' to work."
"Would you want one to live next door to you'.'"
(Pause.) "If he worked like these guys, I guess 1
wouldn't mind it too much. It depends on the
man."
So the question arises, why is the bricklayers'
union lily-while if, as others in it also told me, they
admire the blacks? First, there is clearly a form of
discrimination in the unwritten rule that only
relatives or friends of men already in the union will
be accpeled for membership. But the other two
reasons stem from the vicious economic cycle of
poverty which oppresses black people. There is a
high initiation lee (about $250) to join the union,
which is a lot of money for anyone lo come up
with, let alone someone who needs and wants a job
badly. Then there is a three-and-a-half year apprenticeship, which pays under $00 a week. There is no
apprenticeship for a laborer, and hence Ihe prospect
of a $200 +-a-week job available righl away becomes
more attractive lo an economically depressed person
than a job which initially pays less than half that.
Just before 1 was laid off in mid-August (a victim
of the economic slowdown), 1 asked Ron, a wellliked laborer I had become good friends with, why
he didn't quit his position and become a bricklayer.
Mis reply tells something of what if is like to be a
laborer: "You know, I hate being a laborer, I always
have. I come home at night, have a beer, watch TV,
and go to bed. I'm too damned fired to do anything
also, But I'm used to the big money now. I've got a
big house, two cars, a boat, and 1 couldn't ask my
wife and kids to give it all up for three-and-a half
years and to hack to living the way we did, in a
crowded apartment, before I got this job. I've got
no educalion, so what else could I possibly do to
earn I his kind of money? What could I possibly ever
do?
He turned hack to heaving bricks onto a scaffold. 1
came back to school.
aiders got was that a lot of shit
flew around last year, a lot of
guilty concrete and clay got
knocked out of business, and a lot
more visitors came to the beaches
and mountains. On the positive
side, from my better perspective
as a twenty-year-old, I got the
impression that many students
met with administrators for the
first time, talked with one another
more intelligently than they ever
had before, and also got a taste of
what a violent revolution might be
like in the future.
Violent or not, if there was so
much shit flying around last
spring, where did it all land? How
many more adminstrators are confronted by real live students this
year, as opposed to two years
ago? How many more students are
involved in shaping college curricula? How much support is Free
School getting? Who's working in
the ghetto downtown, or investigating the racism and bureaucracy
at the South Mall Project? How
many students are complaining
about the food, the parking problem, the library, the construction
work, the pollution; but how
many are complaining lo their
girlfriends?
To answer my questions: President Benezet's forum with the
students every other week attracts
a coterie of about a dozen regulars
and maybe one or two gapers-on;
there were two dozen people at a
forum on the future of Ihe library
held lasl Wednesday, including
three faculty members and five or
six representatives of Ihe library
staff; mil of 1500 lo '2000 undergraduates in Ihe Teacher Education Program, most of whom will
vehemently protest to the nearest
pillar thai Teacher Education
courses are a total waste of time,
there are now approximately five
undergraduate students involved
on any committee at all to change
the situation; a questionnaire on
the conditions of Indian Quad got
a 25% response last month from
the residents of Indian Quad; and
a monster publicity campaign consisting of newspaper coverage,
WSUA advertisements, a talk in
the Campus Center, and leaflets in
every spot on the campus except
the toilet seats, brought two more
State students in Lo help Pete
Jones with his Day Care Center
for the kids on Pear! Street.
I am not arguing here for more
bantering hack and forth of
words, 1 am arguing for more
involvement. Newspapers and propaganda sheets iind leaflets taped
to white pillars should he nothing
but the debris left over from
people pushing each other around,
from confrontations on personal
issues rather (ban from mindless
slogan-slinging about oppression
from Society—whoever the hell he
is. If the Strike is over, and even if
we 're planning another one,
shouldn't we now be facing what
we're frying lo change, namely
the people who wield the power
and whom we can contact personally? If we can't win anymore
with "Peace Now!" and if we
can't (in New York State anyway)
have much success with our Senators and Congressmen, at least we
can start with our employers or
our department chairmen or the
manager of the bookstore or the
president of the university, all of
whom are available for personal
confrontation, and all of whom
might have changed course a long
time ago had they notbeensubject
to an endless barrage of words
designed only to bore them and a
bomb here and there to scare
them away.
I began with a short note on the
Grievance Committee, and would
like to correct the impression I
might have given that there's been
no response at all that this rather
basic tool of student participation. Grievance Committee has
held four meetings thus far, the
fourth of which I described above;
the first three attracted a gathering of about seven students each,
and solved several complaints
ranging in importance from minor
to crucial. A student got his
money back for two tee-shirts
bought at the bookstore; the Arts
Council acquired a table in the
Campus Center; letters were sent
to other New York State Universities asking specific information
on room and board rates and on
policies relating lo these services,
in order to discover possible inequities at Albany State; and
other business ton detailed to
mention, The
Grievance
Committee is an important arm of
Central Council, whichshouldrepresenl the views of the student
body; four meetings for 8,000
bitchy students should not be
enough in 1970.
You may take the preceding
exhortation seriously, or you may
call it flag-waving, but in any case
I won't go further in the "need to
communicate" file, that bottomless yawning pit of committees,
slogans, marches, leaflets, and
other
political
machinations
which lure men into thinking that
there's nothing more to do because everything's been said. You
may also consider this column a
filler needed for the page because
no one else was making any news
on campus, and you'd be very
close to right if you thought that,
and you'd be a long way toward
understanding my point.
Let us all ride off now to create
the world in our own image, but
let's supplement our political mot i v a t i o n s with evnergy and
honesty. I close with the following form The Pogo Papers by Walt
Kelley: Resolve then, that on this
very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blasts on Lrumpels,
we shall meet the enemy, and not
only may he be ours, he may be

JEFFERSON *******

With t h e success of its best-selling
"Surrealistic
Pillow",
Jefferson Airplane emerged as t h e
nation's m o s t exciting contemporary musical group.
C o m p o s e d of lead singers Marty
Balin and Grace Slick, lead guitarist J o r m a K a u k o n e n , bass guitarist
J a c k Casady, d r u m m e r Spencer
D r y d e n , and Paul Kantner, singer
and guitarist, Jefferson Airplane
has created a sound drawn from
the jazz, folk, blues and rock ' n '

members.

Watching G o d a r d ' s latest, and of

T H E WIND F R O M T H E E A S T , is
like watching d o c u m e n t a r y footage c a p t u r e d from a raid on a

boring, scatological, humorless,
and quite frankly a halfwitted

ex tolls the hardline mindlessness

verify Alan H e i n e m a n ' s t h e o r y

an a t t e m p t to pack each m o m e n t
with interest before moving on,
t h u s a feeling of non mobility
rather than swing; or as Heineman
says: verticle rather than horizontal. This imposes a difficult p r o b lem for the jazz m a n and in this
case the reason for their inability
to grapple with the situation

Editorial
Comment
Dig it...there's a problem. It's the concerts. You see, the man is
walking around all the time-they call him "FIRE marshal ". He's
got all the strings. He snaps his fingers and the shows over, and
maybe, with the Airplane putting in on, you'd have a riot and
hurt, very hurt people...no joke.
Number two...the gym burns real easy. When you're there take a
look around..see all those coats...see the floor...see the bleachers...poof. And with the Airplane putting on two shows, with
crowds inside and outside—and big, big, crowds at that—just one
coat, just one hint of a blaze, and you'd have a stampede and
people hurt, very hurt...no joke.
Finally, this. Al Ihe Clapton gig, one-half,yes, one half of the
crowd was under sixteen years of age. People actually stood there
and counted. They know. Little kids, having absolutely nowhere
else to go for music, come here and get zonked out of their minds,
and Dad comes to pick them and can't understand why they're
giggling so and making no sense at all—but then he knows. He
knows. He's mad. The community's mad. They know. So cops are
sent in after Ihe concert to clean up and collect the evidence.
Then, they know.
SA Moves Ahead
In past years, here at Albany State and throughout the nation,
the influence of organized student governments has steadily
declined. Most significant movements of the late 1960's--civil
rights, student power, peace, ultimately the May strike-have
arisen as groundswells and left student representatives in an
irrelevant position.
This has proven of great benefit. Direct action has provided
students with deeper recognition of the problems confronting
society today, and has impressed upon administrators the fact
that students are people and must have a role in shaping their own
lives.
Unfortunately, however, before significant change is made, such
groundswells tend to subside. The student power movement is no
longer recognizable yet students have still not achieved the degree
of representation which they should have. The strike, for all ils
strength and vehemence, has given way to a deadened political
scene.
There has arisen in the meantime a new form of student
government, more conscious of Ihe need for militancy, more
aware of the crisis in education today, much more hesitant of
playing "the nigger role" which previous generations ofstudcnl
leaders have played. This year's Student Association has taken Ihe
first sleps toward becoming a true articulator of student interests.

students to represent students, at Ihe very least to case the
frustrations of attending a massive, slow-changing univeisily. II
student leaders fall hack into meaningless, cliquish controversies,
if they limit then perspectives by the methods and actions of then

How to Prevent Students
The chief reason why Imliiv's r o l l e r Mudi-uls arc su restless is of
course titrlii pants.
Bill ntln-r fm-tnrs also contribute, and
of them, I fear, is boredom. All too irltim, i four, students find their classes dull beyond endurance. Let's face it: the modern undergraduate, caught in the e,rip
of history and Ins /upper, is far too impatient to sit Liirough old-fashioned lectures delivered in the uld-faslii
il way.
Novelty, excitement, stimulation
that's whnl it takes to jp-ali a
student's attention these days. And wise teachers know it. On campuses everywhere they are Irving hold new techniques to pn|ue and
engross their classes. Take, fur example, Ralph Waldo Sigafoos, Undistinguished professor of economics at the t'ntcersily of Florida, who
now delivers his lectures nude.
Or lei's take K. I'lltriblis Kwbauk, the distinguished professor of
1'lnglish literature at the University of Minnesota where it'- o... cold
to lecture in your bull'. Here's wbal Professor Kwhank dues: .Men he's
leaching, fur instance, Shelley's immortal To a Skuhuk, ' • pauses
after each stanza and does 'J ' ., minutes "1 lord [alls, licliioe me, he
gets a terrific hand every iinie, bin of course the bi^gesl hand cutties
at tile end of the poem when be cats a worm. The kids sometimes applaud till nightfall.
Another innovation by the same resourceful I'rofessor Kwltank is
to make poetry more relevant tu Ins students by taking iheni to the
actual locale of each poem, l.asi mouth, for example, while lecturing
on Wordsworth's immortal Lturs i 'imposed o r'. if Miles Aimer 'I'luleru
Abbey, he rented a Zeppelin, Hew Ins entire class In Kitfilanil, and
moored on the same moor where Wordsworth wrote his immortal
lines. Then everyone deblimped and bail a jelly good picnic, complete
with Morris dancing, three-legged races, pie-ealing contests, and of
course that without which you'd neve- call a picnic complete. I refer
of course to Miller High Life Beer.
If there are still some of you haven't tried Miller High Life
you're laughing, but it's possible lei me tell you what you're missing.
You're missing flavor, pleasure, refreshment, comfort, satisfied
felicity, t r u t h , beauty, mall and Imps. There is no oilier beer like Miller.
flow can there be'.' Miller's marvelous brewing formula has been a
closely guarded secret for generations. In fact, it's known today to
only one man in the whole world Miller's chief brewmasler and he
has been trained to eat himself if ever taken alive.
So if you haven't Iried Miller yet you're laughing, but it's possible - gel a bottle or can right away T h e bottles are beautifully made
of transparent glass. T h e cans aren't bad-looking either; they arc,
however, opaque.
But I digress. We were talking about the new breed of teacher
who doesn't just stand in front of his class and drone. No, sir! He di monstraln. He illuHlmlcn. He dmmiiiiier. Take, for example, (Hebe of
U.C.L.A., professor of marine biology. He doesn't just tell the kids
about the strange life-forms beneath the sea. instead he brings a live
sponge to cluss so they can see it. Similarly, (irausmire of North Carolina State, pru/essur of textile engineering, brings a live wushcloi h.
Then there's Williams of Amherst, professor of library science,
who brings a live Dewey Decimal. And of course there's SchurualinHeink of llnrdin-Simmons, professor of Indo-European, who brings a
live hyphen. And Chttmpt.fl of I'tab A & M, professor of Hebrew
philology, who brings a nice Jewish girl.
And so to those who despair of ever winning back our alienated
students, I have only this to say: remember that America did not become the world's greatest producer of liultcrfat and milk solids by

A
THINK, PEOPLE
T H I N K about the amount of smoking that usually goes on at concerts
T H I N K about the amount of people who will be in the gym and the necessity of closing 2
of the 6 exits for security reasons during the first concert
THINK about the fact that in the gym the benches burn, the floor burns, the plastic floor
cover burns, the stage burns, coats burn, and PEOPLE BURN
THINK about the recent fire tragedy in France
and if you're too conceited to think past yourself, THINK about the fact that the
Albany Fire Marshal will close down the whole thing if he sees anyone smoking.

the problem of thermal effects, it's
being tackled on a site-by-sile basis
and <an be solved. But for now,
increasing demands for power ran
be met without an increasing
output of air pollution.
What follows is a listing of
things General Electric is doing to
ease environmental prohlems.
Some are new. Some are as old as
twenty-five years.
• GE has developed a wastetreatment unit to significantly
reduce the water pollution from
ships and boats.
• We have been chosen by the
federal government to solve the
problem of jet-engine noise for the
aviation industry. Our present jet is
already quieter than those on the
passenger planes of the Sixties, and
yet it's nearly three times as powerful.
Should we be doing more?
Yes, of course. Every company
should. These are only a few of the
more important ones. But every day
sees us take more steps in many
more directions.
• General Electric is working
toward a process that will use
bacteria to convert garbage into a
high-prolein food for cattle. One
possible answer to the mounting
garbage problem.
• Modern, pollution-free mass transit
from General Electric is carrying
more and more commuters into cities
without their cars.
• GE pioneered the development of
nuclear power plants. A nuclear
plant makes electricity without
making smoke. While there is still
• GE designed and built an
undersea habitat called "Tektile."
Several teams of scientists have lived
in the habitat while studying coralreef ecology and ocean pollution.
• We're designing an earth-resources
satellite which will be used for a
wot Idwide survey of the oceans
A first step towatd the ultimate
control of water pollution.
• Our newest jet airplane engine,
for the DC-10, is designed to be
smoke-free Of c ourse, theie's more
to jet exhaust than just smoke. And
our goal is to one day make them
run totally clean,
• General Electric makes hightemperature vortex incinerators for
the ( omplele combustion of many
lypes of solid waste. Complete
combustion drastically reduces the
amount of leftover ash, as well as
virtually eliminating air pollutants.
The problems of the environment are many. And some of the
solutions will be difficult and
costly. Bui, as you can see, we're
w o i k i n g on them.

Why are we running this ad?
We're running this ad, and
others like it, to tell you the things
General Electric is doing about the
problemsof man and his
environment today.
The problems concern us
because they concern you We're a
business and you are potential
customers and employees
But there's another, more
important reason. These problems
will affec l the future of this country
anil this planet. We have a slake in
lt-i.it futute. As businessmen. And,
simply, as people.
We invite your comments

t h a t m u c h m o r e dangerous is the
fact t h a t they use d e c e p t i o n s such
as screen passes a m ! d r a w plays t o
keep t h e defense h o n e s t .
Obviously, t h e r e will be a lot of
pressure on t h e defensive line t o
c o n t a i n Plattsburg's good running
game, and at t h e s a m e time p u t
pressure on D e N a t o . T o m Patters o n ' s exceptional game at safety
last week (II i n t e r c e p t i o n s ) e a r n e d
him a starting role this week. If
c a p t a i n R o y c e Van Evera is back
from a shoulder s e p a r a t i o n , we
might see him a t t h e left c o r n e r
slot. T h e rest of t h e defense is
p r e t t y well set with o n e n o t a b l e
a d d i t i o n . R u d y V i t o , a starter a t
fullback at t h e beginning of t h e
season, will very possibly see work
at linebacker.
This i.s the D a n e s ' c h a n c e for a

Ira V. Devoe, head m a i n t e n a n c e supervisor, provided a n u m b e r of
reasons for the prevalence of rats on t h e c a m p u s this year. A c c o r d i n g
t o t h e laws of n a t u r e , r a t s are q u i t e h a p p y living o u t in t h e o p e n fields
during the w a r m e r m o n t h s . But as soon as t h e fall season rolls a r o u n d ,
these r o d e n t s are forced t o find w a r m e r s u r r o u n d i n g s — such as
b a s e m e n t s a n d garbage pails.
Mr. Devoe also p o i n t e d o u t t h a t t h e large a m o u n t of people a r o u n d
c a m p u s p r o d u c e s a p r o p o r t i o n a t e l y large a m o u n t of garbage w h i c h
a t t r a c t s rats if left strewn a r o u n d . T h e s e factors he labeled m o r e or
less " n o r m a l , " and t h a t relatively little could b e d o n e t o prevent the
rats from c o m i n g o u t i n t o t h e o p e n in their search for food and
•lie Iter.
T h e a b u n d a n c e of r a t s this year, w h i c h he claimed t o b e "definitely
a b n o r m a l , " relates t o the fact t h a t S U N Y A is still u n d e r g o i n g growing
pains. AN c o n s t r u c t i o n p r o c e e d s b o t h o n I n d i a n Q u a d and at t h e field
h o u s e site, colonies of rats are being d i s t u r b e d a n d sent o u t t o look
for new h o m e s . O n c e t h e y get o n t o t h e p o d i u m and quadrangles,
t h e r e is relatively n o place t o go e x c e p t i n t o o p e n garbage pails ( w h i c h
are usually rare) and buildings.
T h e university ( t h r o u g h t h e Buildings a n d G r o u n d s D e p a r t m e n t ) has
an e x t e r m i n a t i o n c o n t r a c t , and e x t e r m i n a t o r s are at w o r k a r o u n d the
c a m p u s o n a regular basis. A l t h o u g h h e d i d n ' t k n o w e x a c t l y w h a t kind
of poison w a s being used, Mr. Devoe said t h a t t h e y were "selective
p o i s o n s " which were o k a y e d by the university after careful analysis.
In any event, e x t e r m i n a t i o n is restricted t o buildings and n e a r b y
vicinities, owing t o t h e fact t h a t a n y a t t e m p t t o kill all of t h e rats
a r o u n d t h e entire c a m p u s would p r o b a b l y involve killing m a n y o t h e r
animals, such as birds, c h i p m u n k s a n d squirrels.
As part of this y e a r ' s e x t e r m i n a t i o n process, a special survey is being
