Political activity at Albany State has not been totally apparent this
fall. Nevertheless, politics are being discussed and formulated on a
broad spectrum of views.
The followint articles probe the various political organizations on
campus, their ideals, their plans, and their philosophy.
by Mike Ellis
Judging from a relatively quiet fall semester this year, it appears thaL
the momentum of the past spring's student movements has slowed
considerably. The left-wing organizations on campus are apparently
victim to the general conservative swing of the national mood and the
resultant apathy of many.
One victim of the present malaise is the Young Socialist Alliance, a
self-described "multi-national revolutionary socialist youth organization dedicated to the construction of a socialist America and a social- *
ist world." The YSA holds the view that change will come through a
working-class revolution for socialism in the advanced capitalist
countries.
The organization is basically action-oriented, seeking to put
Marxist-Leninist theory into practice. They see sis the most probable
means for success mass actions in the street. YSA looks on the MayJune '68 French workers' demonstrations and the Postal and UAW
strikes as showing the crucial power workers' groups have in affecting
a country.
State's YSA group plans speeches by members of the Palestinian liberation movement, anti-war people, Women's Lib, Black groups, and
Chicano groups in the coming semester. During the holiday break the
YSA national convention is to be held in New York City on December
27-31.
A group which holds views somewhat in the same vein is the Student
Mobilization Committee to End the War in Viet Nam. SMC is a broad
coalition of people around the central issue of Viet Nam. Their three
basic demands are an immediate withdrawal of all troops from Viet
Nam, the freeing of all political prisoners in he United Stales, and an
end to university complicity with the war.
Locally, they plan to have a speaker from the Kent SMC during the
spring semester, and will work with local and New York City highschool groups to organize free-speech movements, They are also extending support to groups such as those at Fort Haywood, active-duty
Gl's who marched in the October 31 si national demonstrations and
are experiencing some difficulties with brass. SMC's national anti-war
conference was held just this weekend in Chicago.
YSA and SMC (and SDS) share the distinction of being denounced
by FBI director Hoover this September in his Open Letter to College
Students. Hoover stated thai they sought to mislead the student
through many tactics: cutting him off from his home, convincing him
his college is a tool of the establishment, asking him to abandon his
common sense by accepting wiltl accusations, enveloping the student
in a mood of negativism, encouraging disrespect for the law and hate
for law enforcement officers, saying any action is right if it's idealistic
in motivation, convincing him he's powerless to change things by
democratic means, and encouraging him to hurl bricks and stones instead of having logical arguments with those who disagree with him.
YSA disagreed with most of Hoover's accusationsin anOpen Letter to
U.S. students from the YSA, which documented various government
activities considered indicative of a Nixon assault.
One of the more moderate hut active leftist organizations is the
Young People's Socialist League. They are a democratic socialist
group who seek change within the existing system. Their strategy includes gaining influence in the Democratic Party and with the large
segment of reform-minded Americans that they see changing the
direction of the party toward a true progressive position.
YPSL follows the philosophy of Norman Thomas and seeks to model the United Stales somewhat after the social systems that exist in
Sweden, Germany, and England, although they see many flaws in each
country. In the past election, they endorsed the Goldberg-Patterson
Ottinger ticket. Locally, their plans next semester include getting ;i
lettuce boycott started in support of Chavez's farmers group and more
speakers in the spring. On December 26-27 the Socialist Parly USA,
the parent group, is sponsoring a National Conference in New
York. YPSLKeeks a fast withdrawal from Viet Nam than at present and
u voice for all groups concerned in settling the Mid East and Viet Nam
conflicts.
Perhaps the least radical left wing group on campus is the New
Democratic Coalition, a group of reform democrats seeking to change
the National Party into a more democratic institution, with less boss
control and more direct grass roots influence in selecting candidates.
They unofficially aided the Movement for a New Congress in the recent election, which ondoresed Button, Lowenstein,and others with
general anti-war domestic reform policies.
NDC was formed shortly after the '6H election by KennedyMcCarthy reformers after disillusionment with the way the democrats
came to arrive at Humphrey. Locally, they hope to have speakers such
as Ralph Nader and O'Dwyer work for the lettuce boycott and perhaps against Tohin Meat Packing, a local polluter.

Will Tuition at
SUNY be Raised?
How does it feel to be a conservative on a liberal campus? Dan Duncan of The Young Republican Front and Bob Going of the Young
Conservatives don't mind. They know that west of Albany is another
ballgame and they think they're winning it. Conservative students are
often accused of being apathetic and complacent. This is an accusation which especially annoys Albany's young conservatives. They recently helped elect a U.S. Senator, their man is President of the
United States and on this campus they've probably eliminated the
mandatory student tax. If their other efforts succeed as well, they will
prevent S.A. funding of theFree School and Day Care Center and the
closing of the university for political reasons.
The Young Republican Front is a newly founded organization consisting mostly of ten to twenty ex-Buckley campaign workers. It aligns
itself with the ideals and policies espoused by President Nixon and the
mainstream of the Republican Party. They find Albany's Young Republicans too liberal and the Young Americans for Freedom too conservative. Consequently, they founded their own group which, at this
point, seems more concerned with campus problems than national
politics.
The Young Conservatives are a YAF affiliate with approximately ten
to fifteen members on campus. Theyhold to the traditional American
viewpoint that democracy is the best political system yet devised and
that capitalism is the only economic system which is compatible with
the ideals of a democratic society. They beleive that Communism is
the greatest threat to democracy and that "The U.S. should stress victory over, rather than coexistence with, this menace." Bob Going repeatedly stressed the need to "dismantle the bureaucracy" and take
power out of the hands of the federal government and place it with local and state governments.
Both of the conservative leaders 1 spoke with opposed campus
policies which they felt violated the rights of individual students.
Their opposition to the Day Care center is based on the belief that the
financial responsibility for the care of children should rest with the
family and not the society (in this case the University). Implicityin
their arguments was the belief that a mother's place is with her children. On the whole, conservatives are opposed to the Women's Liberation Movement. They feel as Bob Going does that "women are being
degraded by Women's Lib."
Conservatives believe that the Free School is political in nature and
therefore should not be funded by the Student Association. They also
object to student taxes being used to fund an activity which is open to
non-students without charge.
The YAF has recently hired lawyer to bring suit against schools
which close for political reasons. They feei that the university has a
commitment to keep classes open or refund tuition.
Conservatives may be in the minority at Albany State, but they see
themselves as part of a national majority. Unlike many of their con
temporaries, they view the future of the nation with optimism.
They're a part of the system and they think "the system works pretty
well."
by Terry Wolf
Will tuition be raised at Albany State next year?
This is the question being considered by Chancellor
Boyer and the Board of Trustees of the State
University system.
Although there lias been no official decision, the
possibility seems imminent. According to Neil
Brown. Dean of Student Life, there are already
many commitments to expand programs and construction across the state. Money from tuition is put
into the State University Construction Fund. This
fund is desperately short of money even though
expansion is continuing in order to meet increasing
demands and needs,
However, the additional money may not come
from the students as might be expected. While it is
hard to predict the full effect that an increase would
have, the Student Incentive and Regents Scholarship
programs may be uble to supply some of the
necessary funds by increasing the maximum allotment for tuition or by simply transferring funds
from the scholarship to the construction fund.
Tuition fees for non-residents and other university
casts will also be carefully considered before a
decision is reached.
The new semester has begun bringing with it all the fun of new classes, new teachers, new people, and
new book lines.

18 Year Olds Given Vote
Will Cast Ballots in '72
by Roy Lewis
Other influential factors are the rising costs of
construction and the study being conducted on the
open enrollment and full opportunity programs.
The university has an obligation and commitment to
keep pace with growing enrollments and expanding
programs. As Mr. Brown commented, "The university can not stay where it is."
Fortunately, some relief is expected due to the
predicted decrease in college applicants, the growing
independent study programs, community service
projects, the study abroad programs, the availability
of apartments, and extended summer programs.
Robert Acquino, the bursar, indicated that a final
decision will be made soon by the State Legislature
when they vote on the budget for the fiscal year
1971-72. Any increase would be effective throughout the entire State University system. In the
meantime, university committees are working to
keep costs as stable as possible.

As a result of a recent Supreme
Court decision, the right of an 18
year old to vote has become a
partial reality. In a 5-4 decision
handed down on December 21,
1971, the Court upheld a Congressional Act lowering the voting age
to 18 in all federal elections. The
Court was highly divided with
four justices arguing for the 18
year old vote in all elections,
citing the fact that the 18-21 age
bracket is a discriminated class.
Four other justices claimed that
the discrimination issue was not
relevant and that furthermore
Congress had no such power to
lower the voting age, except by
Constitutional
Amendment.
Justice Hugo Black cast the decid-
ing vote in favor of the 18 year
old vote, yet at the same lime
restricted it to federal elections
only.
So far 18-21 voter registration
has been slow. On January 20, the
Albany county Board of Elections
reported 1 On such registrations.
Providing one claims Albany as
their legal residence, it is possible
to register any day at the Albany
County Court House. Students
living in dormitories are not
Albany residents, and those living
in apartments who wish to claim
Albany as their legal residence
must have their Albany address on
their driver's license. Another interesting aspect of registration was
pointed out to this reporter by
Action has been taken by the
New York State Legislature to
lower the voting age in state and
local elections. A state-wide referendum to this effect will be on
the ballot this November. Both
Governor Rockefeller and State
Attorney
General
Louis
Lefkowitz support the 18 year old
vote.
Joe Galu of the Associated Press.
If a bonafidc resident will be 18
before November, 1972, which is
the next scheduled federal election, they may register now. This
means that it is possible to have
persons as young as 16 registering
to vote.

Well swap one beautiful dog collar
for two Rejoice collars.
And that's a great trade. Just fill in
the order blank below, enclose two
"neck collars" from any size bottle
of Rejoice Conditioning Shampoo,
and we'll send you this synthetic
stone cameo "dog collar" free. You
can even have your choice of three
different cameos: pink,green,or blue.
In the bargain, you'll discover that
Rejoice leaves your hair really manageable, truly workable...right after
shampooing. And that's "ready-togo" hair. So send your order today
and start "putting on the dog."

DeLuise, the mad priest, s o m e n o w
finds about thirteen
different
chairs and t h e confusion is enough
t o drive any audience m a d . Where
these other chairs came from is
never explained!
Moody and Langella are a l m o s t
totally humorless in the lead roles
which is a certain disaster considering that this is supposed t o be
a comedy. Moody
underplays
the desperate ex-aristocrat but
seems to lack the necessary gusto
in his frantic c o m i c scenes. Langella, last seen in D I A R Y OF A
MAD HOUSEWIFE, seems to be
g e t t i n g typecast as a
mean
mouthed bastard. He is sorely o u t
of place as the bitter, opportunistic y o u t h .
The inspired madness lacking in
the lead roles is supplied by the
supporting characters portrayed
by DeLuise and Brooks himself.
DeLuise, a greatly underrated
actor, is an absolute panic as the
wildly greedy priest. N o t only has
he b r o k e n his vow of poverty but
used the k n o w l e d g e of the old
w o m a n ' s d e a t h b e d confession t o
persue the worldly l o o t . B r o o k s ,
seen briefly as t h e d r u n k e n T i k o n ,
should have w r i t t e n a larger role
for himself. He is marvelous as t h e
cow- to wing p e a s a n t w h o wishes
his ex-master would b e a t him.

Unforulnately, Brooks, a master

TEAR ALONG DOTTED LINE
Mel Brooks' THE TWELVE
CHAIRS is one of those films in
which the principle characters
spend more than an hour and a
half o f celluloid collecting a
specific number of objects. The
audience diligently plays the game
by keeping count in order t o see if
the exact number of objects being
sought is finally collected.
By the end of this movie, a
friend and I counted about twenty-five chairs, two inadequate performances, t w o inspired performances, numerous witty passages,
almost as many boring m o m e n t s ,
and one very confused and poorly
executed
satire entitled
THE
TWELVE CHAIRS.
Mr. Brooks is the eminently
talented satirist and c o m i c w h o
gave us last year's insanely hilarious
film
THE P R O D U C E R S .
Brooks devotees and s o m e short
sighted critics have been scandalously
overpraising this
latest
effort as a c o m i c masterpiece. It is
certainly less original t h a n his last
film and nol nearly as funny as
s o m e of the publicity t h a t it has
been receiving.
Brooks usually begins with a
paper thin premise and then expects the audience t o suspend its
sense of credibility in order t o
appreciate his insane perception
and caustic lampoon that floods
t h e screen. This kind of wild
nonsense, complete with the madcapped performances of
Zero
Moslel and Gene Wilder, is precisely what made THE PROD U C E R S such an absurd and brilliant film.
In this case the miniscule premise concerns three greedy comrades in post-revolutionary Russia
who are tracking down twelve
dining r o o m chairs, one of which
is stuffed with diamonds. Within
this pithy plot Brooks rips off
numerous tragicomic c o m m e n t s
about the nature of human avarice, pride, and poverty.
This newest effort is plagued by
miscasting, the poor use of actors,
and an unexplained plot complication that is rather annoying. Ron
M o o d y and F r a n k Langella (the
old and now with apologies t o
Eisenstein) seem to be chasing the
c o r r e c t set of furniture. D o m

Who makes a better teacher—a strict authoritarian type person
or a relaxed permissive type person? I n faculty lounges across the
country this vexing question is causing much earnest discussion a n d
n o t a few stabbings. Today, to help you find an answer, let me tell you
a b o u t the Sigafoos brothers.
T h e Sigafoos brothers were both professors a t a famous Eastern
university (Colorado School of Mines). Worsham, the elder brother,
t a u g h t mica a n d feldspar. Hymie, the younger, taught shafting and
shoring. Worsham was a strict authoritarian who believed the best way
t o teach was to stay aloof from his students, to be distant and forbidding. In Worsham's classes only he talked, nobody else. In fact, not
only didn't he let his students talk to him, he didn't even let them look
a t him. For years the kids had to fall full length on their bellies every
time Worsham entered the classroom and -stay t h a t way until he left.
T h e college finally forced him to stop last spring after u sophomore
coed named Ethel R. Deinecke died from an overdose of floor wax.
After t h a t Worsham just had the kids drop to one knee.
(Incidentally, speaking of dropping to one knee, it's a very ironic
little story, the story of how this custom began. As you know of course,
it started in Bavaria during the reign of Ludwig the Gimp (1608-1899)
who, as you know of course, had one leg shorter than the other. To
keep the king from feeling self-conscious, his subjects would always
drop to one knee whenever he came gimping by. Indeed, they did such
a convincing job that Ludwig lived all his life believing everybody had
one short leg.
(Now here comes the ironic p a r t : after his death it was discovered
t h a t Ludwig never had a short leg after all! Do you know what he had?
H e had his pants buttoned to his vest!)
B u t I digress. Worsham Sigafoos, I say, stayed aloof from his students. So what happened? The students grew steadily more cowed and
sullen, trauma and twitching set in, night sweats followed, and when it
came time for finals, every man jack of them flunked.
Now let us take Worsham's younger brother Hymie. Breezy,
bearded, twinkly, outgoing, dressed always in homespun robes and a
Navajo puberty pouch, Hymie was totally unlike his brother (except,
of course, t h a t each had one short leg). Hymie believed the way to
teach was to be a pal to the students, not a despot. He let the kids
come to class or not, whichever they liked. Classroom discussions wore
free and unstructured. Anyone who had anything to say simply spoke
up. Sometimes the class discussed classwork, b u t more often they just
sat and gassed about life in general or maybe played a little Show and
Tell. (This was especially popular in spring when everybody brought
their Easter chicks to class.)

The FSA is not loved on this campus.
Isn't it about time, though, that people, especially the Central
Council andLAAC, learned to look beyond sensational issues and
accusations to the real problems, and began making constructive
suggestions?
The next year will be an opportune time for changes in the FSA
hierarchy, and it will do no one any good to castigate the many
decent, hard-working FSA employees simply for vindictive reasons.
FSA can and must be reformed- bul lei's get at the real causes
of the stagnation- not their apologists.

Sensational Spec
Was Professor X fired because he was incompetent or because he
differed politically with senior faculty members?
Tenure:
Academic Freedom
by Robert A. Donovan
Professor of English
Vicki Zeldin's "Tenure: Who Does It Protect?" (ASP, Dec. 4) invites
a rejoinder. Miss Zeldin's main point is that academic tenure can
become a refuge for the incompetent. There is some force to this
argument, for tenure means, in effect, that a teacher's professional
competence may no longer be called in question, and a tenured
professor cannot be dismissed simply because he is not a good teacher,
though of course he may still be dismissed for such peccadilloes as
rape in broad daylight {before witnesses). One would think, obviously,
that the logic of this arrangement is perverse, to say the least, for it
seems to make no sense at all that a professor can be fired only for
causes which have nothing to do with his ability as a teacher or a
scholar.
The question should be not simply who is protected by tenure, but
also whom is he protected from? There was a time, not long ago,
when the chief threat to the non-tenured professor was the legislator
or other public official, but universities now seem to have more
autonomy, or at any rate to evince an admirable willingness to close
ranks against outside interference with their affairs, and, for the
moment,
at least, a Reagan or a Kelleher is only a paper tiger. The
real danger to the non-tenured professor lies within the institution
itself, in the hands of those who are the judges of his professional
ability: administrators, senior colleagues, and students, who rate him
either explicitly in questionnaires or implicitly in their decisions to
take, or not to take, his courses.
The unfortunate truth of the matter is that nothing is easier than to
disguise personal or political animus as a disinterested criticism of
another's professional competence. Administrators who doubt a
professor's loyalty to the institution may discover his incapacity for
professional growth; professors who disapprove of a colleague's
lifestyle may find that his scholarship is not sound; and students who
dislike his political views may be virtually unanimous about his poor
teaching.
Now a professor who must guard his tongue in the presence of
administrative officers of the university, or who must dress and think
like his colleagues, or assiduously cultivate his popularity among
students is not, in the most important sense, free. Of course I am
exaggerating the danger, for most people can and do keep their
personal likes and dislikes out of their professional judgments of
others, but though it can easily be exaggerated, the danger is not less
real. As long as the danger exists at all it is necessary to find some
procedure to enable professors to speak their minds freely, without
putting their jobs on the line. This is what academic freedom, the
most cherished privilege of the university professor, means, and
tenure, with all its disadvantages, is the most practicable method of
securing It.
Miss Zeldin concedes that tenures doen "allow academic
freedom without fear," but the point is too (•usually made, and the
whole force of the concession is destroyed a moment later when she
goes on to assert (quite wrongly, in my opinion) that "there would be
no fear if the teacher were rated by his Leaching associates and his
students." I would like to ask whether young faculty members (and
some not-so-young ones) now facing the ordeal of tenure decision can
really do so "without fear." To abolish tenure itself would merely
ensure that teachers would never be free from that particular fear.

A matter of national securities or Civil liberties?
...schnilzer
liberty vs Security
by Mitchell Frost
"When a Senate subcommittee opens hearings next month into
alleged Army snoopings on civilians, it will have a tough time figuring
out where to lay the blame," said the New York Post (Jan. 5, 1970).
The above statement should be of great interest to all Americans
concerned with the protection of our civil liberties. I certainly hope,
therefore, that subcommittee comes up with some answers.
Certainly the government has the right to keep files on known
criminals and criminal organizations. This is an important and very
valuable tool which the F.B.I, can effectively use when tracking down
suspects. One certainly doesn't want to hamper law enforcement
officials from carrying out their duties the hopeful result of which will
be a safer and freer America. More importantly, though, the public
must be informed of the existence of such files and must be made
aware that those files are used only to solve crimes and in no way
infringe upon the right of privacy that the individual holds most
sacred.
Now we hear of files quite different from those compiled by Efrom
Zimbalist, Jr. on Sunday nights. The files are, admits Secretary Laird,
kept by the Department of Defense although he personally feels that
such information should be compiled and kept by the Justice
Department. These are "secret" files which no one knew about until
recently and, it seems, which date all the way back to 1967.
If this is true it means that the Pentagon, never a popular place with
the Woodstock crowd, has for several years now been "snooping" on
civilians participating in peace demonstrations and Black Power
extremist groups like the Panthers.
The Panthers, an avowed militant, racist, separatist organization
responsible for many bombings and many deaths not to mention the
intense climate of violence and fear prevailing over the nation, are
certainly deserving of the honor for the sake of national security.
Those members of peace organizations who have taken to using violence
as a means of expressing their discontent with the war, the pentagon,
the police, the universities, motherhood, apple pie, etc., etc., must
also expect a worried government to keep an eye on them.
What worries me about these files is that they are being compiled by
the Defense Department. If anyone poses a threat to our national
security, lot his file be kept by the F.B.I, not the Defense Department.
They appear to be going beyond the mere scope of national security
and entering into the realm of Big Brother. Such a course is very easy
to follow and is very dangerous. I'm not suggesting that we're at that
stage yet, but if files on certain individuals and organizations are
needed for reasons of national security, let them be kept for those
reasons and those reasons only.
The public, however, had been kept in the dark about their
existence, implying that the scope of the operations is more
widespread than would be tolerated by an enlightened public. This
congers up dim romindcrs of Adolf Hitler and is certainly not to be
tolerated in a free society.
Perhaps the files are not all that widespread, though; perhaps it's
really a small time operation bungled by an awkward bureaucracy -a
dim prophecy of what is to come if we allow the government to grow
any larger than it already is. Let's pray for the best and hope that the
Senate subcommittee investigating the investigators will shed some
light on the whole subject. In the meantime, be sure to sleep with one
eye open for you never know; your own roommate may really be ...

By now everyone has heard about Burnett "Spec" Fowler and
the great Sayles Hall Expose. Fowler and his grandstanding have
served (as usual) to blow a small incident all out of proportion. In
this particular case, it's the defacing of a student lounge by
(supposedly) the inhabitants of thai dorm.
There's a set procedure, in effeel for years, whereby the
residents of the dorm will split the repainting cosls. Spec's big
publicity campaign hasn't caused any harsh crackdown or awful
punishment, and aren't likely lo. Il docs, though, add fuel lo
anti-student feeling in the community. This doesn't help anyone,
but it docs sell newspapers.
I don't like defacing buildings. Neither do I like defacing
people - bul Spec obviously has no objection to such an act. I
wonder, incidentally, how Spec gained access lo a locked
dormitory. Defacing state property is quite against the law, Mr.
Fowler, but then so is criminal trespass!

To the Editor:
While some members of the
university cry to destroy the destructive and exploitive American
capitalist system, one of the most
insidious examples of this system
controls this campus. The Faculty
Student Association has this university in a death grip.
This association controls the entire economic system of this university. It has a monopoly on
everything from cashing checks to
feeding students. One cannot escape dealing with this highly exploitive organization. It has a
great deal of power.
One example of the economic
slavery perpetrated by this organization can be seen in the Colonial
Quad kitchen. As a dish line worker in this cafeteria, 1 worked for a
boss who exercises authoritarian
control over his workers. He
forces them to work in an area
with potentially dangerous and
inadequate machines for incredibly low wages. This man gave the
student workers a general raise
coupled with a new deduction for
meals. This deduction virtually
eliminated the raise. Mr Carroty is
only concerned with making a profit in his kitchen. The welfare of
the students who work for him or
those who eat in the cafeteria
dues not concern him. The Colonial Quad kitchen does not serve
the university; it merely serves to
make a profit for those in the
hierarchy of the Faculty Student
Association.

steam auto. This would put a lot
of people out of work. That is
why we don't hear much about
the main polluter, "the auto."
Don't you think it is better to be
out of work than be dead from
poison that we are breathing?
Take action now—before it's later
than we think!
Act with all the determination
that can be rendered. Have each
student in every college throughout the nation send letters to their
parents urging them to write their
lawmakers in Washington, D.C.
telling them to act now and that
we want no extensions or delays
in regards to the main air polluter,
the combustion engine.
The steam car will act and look
finer than any car we ever experienced yet. After this is accomplished, this air poisoner will still
be with us ten to fifteen years.
The citizens of this nation as
well as all students had better act
and now. We heard a statement on
television a short time ago that
the gas car will be with us the rest
of time. Let's make this forcast
false.
Money making must not come
ahead of our health any longer,

Getting Up Steam
Sir:
You students are told you will
have the country to run. I think it is
time to start. If protesters got
everything they want, the smog
would kill them all so they have
gained nothing.
We are told the factories are
causing the smog.
In 1940 we used coal for fuel,
almost every home in Denver, also
the railroads and all the factories.
We ull know it is the gas operated combusion engines.
Burying autos doesn't help—that
just puts money in the manufacturers' pockets. It is time all the
colleges in the nation unite and
demand the U.S, House and Senute stop all combustion engines
and auto imports coming at once.
Give the auto manufacturers six
months to tool up and produce a
FSA
To the Editor:
ASP—isn't that a misspelling?
With all the shit that gets thrown
around this campus, it isn't surprising that you students don't
know what the hell's going on in
this country. The blatant fool
who wrote your article on the
Kent murders was typical of the
best the New York Daily News
could produce. Don't you people
verify the dribble you print?
I lived in Kent for a year and a
half, up until last fall. I really
didn't need the Pig President's
Commission report or the FBI to
tell me that the Guard murdered
four of our sisters and brothers.
These points are obvious, but the
media missed a few things. The
governor of Ohio had all phone
lines cut in the vicinity of Kent.
The first reports of the skirmish
arrived at New York's Pacifica
underground radio station WBAI
after their local contacts drove for
hours to get to u phone that
worked. The rest of the media
picked up the story and proceeded to distort, as usual. The great
Amerikan sniper myth appeared,
as it had at Jackson State.
We knew some of the guys in
the Ohio Guard. A great number
of the draft dodgers, right-on; but
they knew that if they didn't live
up to the Guard's "kill-Commie-
hippie" training, they'd be shipped to the front lines of Nam on
the next plane. They were tired,
having recently been used to
break a state-wide Truck driver's
strike, and one of the lifer types
tried to "scare" the demonstrators
with one of his own hand guns.
The rest of the Guardsmen followed his lead, and the officer waited
a hell of a long time to give a
cease-fire order.
This wasn't an isolated case—a
brother was killed in Lawrence,
Kansas and two in Boston during
the summer. We're finally learning
to protect ourselves against these
puppets of the corporations.
From now on it won't be so easy
for them to gun us down.
All Power to the People
Gnossos Pappadopoulis
Oppression
An Open Letter
The trials of Jews in the Soviet
Union, conducted under the pretext of their Zionist and antiSoviet activities, and the long
term sentences, including slow
death through starvation, meted
out, are symbolic of the wave of
terror and anti-Semitism now at
large throughout the Communist
world. Jews are again held hostage
by a totalitarian power, and persecuted and tortured as enemies
of the country, while the world
watches silently. But unlike 30
years ago when similar actions
presaged the beginning of a mass
Jewish extermination, the world
now can no longer claim that it
had no knowledge of these crimes.
Since it is generally felt that
these persecutions would not be
taking place today were the public
opinion climate not thought to be
receptive to the idea of a new
Jewish blood bath, it is important
that those who want to prevent it
speuk out NOW.
A small group of survivors of the
Nazi death camps, Auschwitz and
Buchenwald, is taking this step to
ask the intellectuals, leaders and
writers, the professors, the students and the media, all those
who on so many occasions protested the oppression of different
peoples, to break their silence
now.
We, who escaped the Nazi gas
chambers where millions of defenseless and Innocent died, urge
you to protest the revivlal of this
medieval form of witch hunt for
the sake of political expediency.

SUNY Aims for

" T h e S l a t e University system s h o u l d have a place

his a b i l i t i e s , " said Mr. R o d n e y A . Hart, t h e Director
of Admissions at S U N Y A . T h e Full O p p o r t u n i t y
Program is o n e w a y of i m p l e m e n t i n g such a proposal .
AMERICA 1970
by Barry Kirshner
" P e r h a p s y o u feel t o o m u c h , a n d t h a t is y o u r c r i m e , " said J a c q u e s
Brel.
A n d isn't feeling t o o m u c h t h e crime of t h e insane (or those locked
up), t h e idealists w h o are continually frustrated, and t h e c y n i c s ,
frustrated s o often t h a t they are n o w insensitive t o even f r u s t r a t i o n ?
T o t a l i t a r i a n i s m has c o m e , 13 years ahead of schedule, b u t with t h e
s a m e d e h u m a n i z i n g effect Orwell envisioned. T h e language of t h e
n a t i o n is d o u b l e - t h i n k , and n o t h i n g is w h a t it s e e m s t o be. It is a t i m e
w h e n t h e r e is n o t only a conspiracy t o paint t h e world black, b u t t h e
c o n s p i r a t o r s are claiming t h a t when t h e j o b is d o n e , t h e world will b e
white.
F o r e x a m p l e , consider t h e following:
What is violence? It is b u r n i n g an R . O . T . C . building. It is n o t
allowing an a d m i n i s t r a t i o n s p o k e s m a n t o speak o n c a m p u s . It is
p l a n t i n g a h o m e - m a d e b o m b in a research c e n t e r for t h e United S t a t e s
Defense D e p a r t m e n t .
What is n o t violence? Burning a yellow skinned b a b y a n d its family,
and allowing rats t o bite black s k i n n e d babies, is n o t violence. A
f a c t o r y - m a d e b o m b d r o p p e d from a $ 4 0 million plane o n a straw h u t
is n o t violence. T h e indiscriminate beating of d e m o n s t r a t o r s ,
passers-by, a n d r e p o r t e r s by " p r o p e r " legal a u t h o r i t i e s in a p u b l i c park
is n o t violence.
What is h o n o r ? Destroying an e n e m y o n the field of b a t t l e is
h o n o r a b l e . Invading a n o t h e r c o u n t r y (as in a secret-agent m o v i e ) a n d
failing, is h o n o r a b l e if t h e President says s o .
What is n o t h o n o r ? Going t o prison for refusing t o teach bacterial
warfare t o green beret soldiers is d i s h o n o r a b l e . Taking p i c t u r e s of
policeman brutally beating a fellow n e w s p a p e r p h o t o g r a p h e r is
dishonorable.
What is o b s c e n e ? A sensual movie is o b s c e n e . A Black P a n t h e r
coloring b o o k is o b s c e n e . Abhic Hoffman's use of t h e American flag is
obscene.
What is n o t obscene? A government o r d e r e d fragmentation b o m b
d r o p p e d in a n o t h e r land with a p u r p o s e of severely lacerating h u m a n
skin is n o t o b s c e n e . Police e x e c u t i n g black militants is n o t o b s c e n e .
Spiro Agnew's use of the American flag is not o b s c e n e .
As in most fields at this t i m e , in teaching, t o d o well hears little or
n o relationship t o d o i n g g o o d . In the process of surviving in (he
teaching field, y o u m a y be causing o t h e r s in t h e learning field n o t t o
survive. Whereas at o n e time those w h o could n o t fit in to a sane
world were judged t o he crazy, today those w h o d o not fit In t o an
insane society are considered deviant. Needless t o say, fitting in no
longer carries a sane c o n n o t a t i o n .
S c h o o l s exist t o p r o m o t e society's needs, b u t w h a t if t h e need of
s o c i e t y is r e v o l u t i o n a r y change? Will t h e e n t r e n c h e d powers s u p p o r t
an i n s t i t u t i o n seeking t o limit the powers t h e y n o w enjoy? Possibly, I
have u n d e r e s t i m a t e d the e d u c a t i o n a l function of t o d a y ' s schools, h u t
since e d u c a t i o n d e m a n d s cognitive freedom, it is i n c o m p a t i b l e with
t o d a y ' s totalitarian society.
Is it possible, then, t o c o m p r o m i s e o n e ' s i n t e r p r e t a t i o n s of history in
o r d e r t o gain an acceptable s t a t u s in s c h o o l ? T h e answer is obviously
yes, b u t is t h e n o n e a real e d u c a t o r , indeed is he even using the
e d u c a t i o n ho has acquired? Curiously e n o u g h , t h e first p e o p l e w h o ask
y o u t o c o m p r o m i s e y o u r m i n d and its life style are t h e first p e o p l e t o
call p o r n o g r a p h y (referring t o t o d a y ' s c o m m o n sexual m e a n i n g of t h e
w o r d ) o b s c e n e . Obviously, while the b o d y is sacred, the m i n d is n o t .
Death At Any Age
A n d what function d o e s t h e school a c t u a l l y p e r f o r m ? Nothing
nhort
of murder'
Of course it is a bloodless, s u b t l e m u r d e r , and d e a t h m a y
come slowly, b u t it is m u r d e r , n o n e t h e l e s s . Of c o u r s e t h e m u r d e r e r s
c a n n o t be formally prosecuLed as Captain Medina or L i e u t e n a n t
Calley, for it is a legal m u r d e r , i n s t i t u t i o n a l i z e d , d e h u m a n i z e d , a n d
even popular a m o n g those in p o w e r . Will it ever c o m e t o trial? N o t by
this generation, probably n o t by n e x t and certainly n o t until a
humanization occurs.
What might be t h e m o t i v a t i o n for this m u r d e r ? More t h a n
a n y t h i n g else it is t h e longing for a d e h u m a n i z e d system which c a n
p e r p e t u a t e itself. Wherever we exist in t h e b u r e a u c r a t i c sysLem, we
m u s t be measured and evaluated so t h a t we can fit i n t o o u r n e x t
category, whether t h a t be called college, g r a d u a t e s c h o o l , labor, or
management. Doing a g o o d j o b in a n y t h i n g is u n i m p o r t a n t unless it
can help y o u get recognition
for a j o b well d o n e .
T h e murder w e a p o n , of c o u r s e , is rules and the e n f o r c e m e n t of
those rules. Unlike the s u p p o s e d origins of s o c i e t y ' s rules, school laws
are neither created by or necessarily e n d o r s e d by t h e s t u d e n t s , w h o m
the sanctions are aimed a t . ( T h e s t u d e n t s d o n o t g e t any sort of trial
by peers either). T h e rules enforce respect for t h o s e w h o d o n o t
deserve it. Yet if you deserve respect, y o u w o u l d need n o law t o
obtain it. Rules, therefore, tell s t u d e n t s to a c c e p t p u n i s h m e n t for
acting sanely in an insane s i t u a t i o n .
T h e victims are thus d e h u m a n i z e d . Individuals a b l e t o follow o r d e r s ,
write their names in the p r o p e r spaces, a n d possibly read a t e x t b o o k
are praised. Naturally, these p r o d u c t s c a n still d o things like write
p o e m s , but all of their p o e m s start with either " w h e r e a s " or " b e it
resolved." In o t h e r words, the p r o d u c t s of the e d u c a t i o n a l system c a n
fit in because their h u m a n impulses are s u b m e r g e d , p e r m i t t i n g
membership in an insane s o c i e t y . T h e y might n o t feel pain t h r o u g h o u t
their lives, hut il is almost certain that t h e y will feel n o love either.
How might e d u c a t i o n or society as ;i whole be humani/.ed? This
cannot he achieved by a d o p t i n g a totalitarian society by w o r k i n g for a
change within a power s t r u c t u r e . T h e leaders of a totalitarian s t a l e
laugh at the concept of reform from within, or p e t i t i o n i n g for o n e ' s
rights. We cannot ask t o be given victories, lor a n y t h i n g given and n o t
taken is no victory at all.
For those wishing lo c h a n g e American c u l t u r e from o n e of d e a t h
to o n e of lite, no viable alternative lo the creation of an e d u c a t i o n a l
base able lo resist American totalitarianism and t h o u g h c o n t r o l , e x i s t s ,
liven if one is willing lo swallow his ethics, he should realize thai t h e
technological Monster is not vulnerable t o a r m e d force.
T h e possibility of subverting the Monster from within, then, is
non-existent. Whal will p r o b a b l y h a p p e n is that tve would be eaten in
the process, further nourishing the technological a p p e t i t e , T o believe
that uur work after hours will he able to u n d o t h e H hours a day in
which o u r energies are harnessed by t h e d o m i n a n t c u l t u r e , would be
naive.
N o t T o r the Hell of It
No totalitarian power h a s ever been o v e r t h r o w n by its o w n p e o p l e ,
but never has il been s o i m p o r t a n t that a totalitarian p o w e r be
overthrown. T h e key factor in t h e o n g o i n g struggle is maintaining t h e
independence of the h u m a n m i n d . Resistance t o t h e Big Liu must be
solidly developed. Should people be able to retain their cognitive
independence, it will not b e hard to see t h r o u g h the established s m o k e
screen.
If our responsibility were only l o ourselves, we m i g h t be excused for
slacking off. Bui we are n o t t h e sole victims. N o t only Americans, b u t
Asians as well are directly hurt by the Monster's cult lire of d e a t h , a n d
hardly a human being on the globe is not peripherally victimized by
the American monster.
There are more c o m f o r t a b l e things to d o than challenge a n d struggle
c o n t i n u o u s l y , but none are a s potentially rewarding. Considering
what is at slake,, we have got to struggle.
