A Rebuttal
Kent State: A Conspiracy
by Daniel McNeil
Student Mobilization
Committee
What kind of a university is Kent S t a t e ? Is il the h o t b e d of radicalism
and permissiveness that the Ohio G r a n d Jury and super-reactionaries
m a k e it appear to be? T h e S c r a n t o n c o m m i s s i o n r e p o r t of the period
before the events of last May found t h a t : " M o s t s t u d e n t s were either
conservative or a p o l i t i c a l . "
Repression is really n o t h i n g new t o K e n t S t a t e '.however. In 1909,
o n e of the leaders of S D S was s e n t e n c e d to three years after a sit-in,
and therefore, SDS was banned from t h e c a m p u s . And, in the t o w n of
Kent, p o p u l a t i o n 2 6 , 0 0 0 , and Portage C o u n t y , p o p u l a t i o n 7 2 , 0 0 0 , the
university d o e s have a r e p u t a t i o n for " r a d i c a l i s m . " However, this
r e p u t a t i o n is really undeserved a n d is mainly the reaction of a
conservative midwestern t o w n to the growth of a " y o u t h c u l t u r e " on
the university.
As far as the acts of individual terrorism thai occurred in the town
of K e n t are c o n c e r n e d , they were the reflection of an absence rather
than a presence of an organized m o v e m e n t on the c a m p u s . Workers in
the anti-war and s t u d e n t m o v e m e n t s realize that one of the biggest
problems they face is preventing senseless violence which causes no
serious damage to the war m a c h i n e , but alienates m a n y potential
s u p p o r t e r s , and provides o p p o r t u n i s t i c and reactionary forces with a
c h a n c e to attack the m o v e m e n t through repressive actions.
It is the height of h y p o c r i s y , t h o u g h , t o scandalize and smear the
anti-war m o v e m e n t and the dead at Kent on the basis of isolated
incidents of violence while at the same lime defending the policies of a
government which m u r d e r s millions of people in I n d o c h i n a , poisons
their land with chemicals, and w o r k s to maintain in p o w e r s o m e of
the most corrupt cliques of rulers in the A'orld against die will of their people.
T h e lesson of May, t h e n , seemed t o be that there was much less
violence when the s t u d e n t uprisings took place on a c a m p u s with well
developed m o v e m e n t . One of the earliest lessons learned from the
1970 May strike at Albany was t h a t individual terrorism was a threat
to the c o n t i n u a t i o n of the strike program.
But why were the s t u d e n t s at Kent S t a t e killed? Some wore killed
because they had assembled to p r o t e s t the e x t e n t i o n of t h e I n d o c h i n a
war, university complicity with t h e war, and the invasion of their own
c a m p u s by the National Guard. O t h e r s were killed for n o o t h e r reason
than that they were s t u d e n t s . N o t o n e of the victims was guilty of
any crime o t h e r than practicing their rights of freedom t o assembly
and free s p e e c h . For this they w e r e deprived of their right t o life. T h e
safety of the G u a r d s m e n was at no time in danger, nor was o n e of
t h e m even injured; o n e did e x p e r i e n c e an attack of hysteria when he
realized the results of his actions.
However, it is true that there was a conspiracy at K e n t . After the
killings, the G u a r d s m e n agreed t h a t they would all give the s a m e line
to the press and FBI investigators, They would all claim t h a t their
lives were e n d a n g e r e d , that objects had been t h r o w n at t h e m with
lethal force, a n d that they had been fired u p o n . A l t h o u g h the
evidence of this conspiracy c o m e s from a suppressed FBI r e p o r t which
was first revealed on the floor of the Senate by S t e p h e n Young of
O h i o , it has been played d o w n or totally ignored by the mass media.
( F o r further i n f o r m a t i o n on t h e c o n s p i r a c y , c o n s u l t either the
N o v e m b e r '1 issue of l.F. S t o n e ' s Bi-Weekly, or his article in the
December .'t New York Review of Books).
As far as calling the killings " m u r d e r , " the second s o u r c e m e n t i o n e d
alone calls a t t e n t i o n t o the fact that Agnew himself a d m i t t e d on the
David Frost S h o w t h a t he considered t h e m murders " a l t h o u g h not in
the first d e g r e e . "
I, as a m e m b e r of the S t u d e n t Mobilization C o m m i t t e e believe,
therefore, t h a t the most effective way to fight repression, to prevent
a n o t h e r Kent S l a t e , and to bring the war in I n d o c h i n a to an
i m m e d i a t e end, is to create a democratically organized m o v e m e n t t o
build for mass mobilizations thai will ultimately u n i t e the a n t i w a r
majority.

Before an overflow crowd Mond a y night at Congregational Sons

R a b b i Meir Kahane bitterly accused the "Jewish E s t a b l i s h m e n t "
of inaction t o w a r d s saving the 3VS

Claiming t h a t there is no difference b e t w e e n the cultural genocide in the USSR and the physical
genocide c o m m i t t e d b y the Nazis,
R a b b i Kahane declared t h a t the
Soviet Jewry problem is a " p r o b lem in c o n s c i e n c e " for American
Jews.

Declaring that the Black leadership of the Civil Rights Movement

NY Panel Advises
Drug Law Change
by Bruce B. Detlefsen
Associated Press Writer
A special s t a t e s t u d y panel r e c o m m e n d e d t o Gov. Rockefeller
M o n d a y t h a t New York reduce t h e penalties for the possession and
use of marijuana, especially for first offenders caught with small
q u a n t i t i e s of the d r u g .
A s s e m b l y m a n Chester R. H a r d t , c h a i r m a n of the T e m p o r a r y S t a t e
Commission t o Evaluate t h e Drug Laws, said the panel favored making
finer distinctions b e t w e e n t y p e s of offenses as a way of creating a law
that is reasonable and e n f o r c e a b l e .
" T h e simple fact i s , " H a r d t m a i n t a i n e d , 'That our present m a x i m u m
of 1 5 years in jail, equally applicable t o Ihe person w h o gives one puff
of a marijuana cigarette t o a r o o m m a t e j r friend as it is t o t h e seller of
huge q u a n t i t i e s , is an unrealistic a n d poorly conceived l a w . "
T h e c o m m i s s i o n p r o p o s e d a new range of penalties, beginng with a
m a x i m u m of 15 d a y s ' i m p r i s o n m e n t for possession and use of the
smallest specified q u a n t i t y — o n e - q u a r t e r ounce—up to a m a x i m u m of
seven years for possession of 1 6 o u n c e s of marijuana.
As things n o w s t a n d , H a r d t said, possession of even o n e " j o i n t " of
marijuana is a criminal m i s d e m e a n o r p u n i s h a b l e by up to o n e year in
jail.
Such a system, he a d d e d , is " s o o u t of line with all o t h e r purely
private disobediences o f the law that law enforcement officers
testified repeatedly that the law was often not enforced, and
psychiatrists testified t o the effect t h a t this n o n - e n f o r c e m e n t policy
had on breeding c o n t e m p t a m o n g o u r y o u n g p e o p l e . "
In a d d i t i o n t o revising penalties, the commission r e c o m m e n d e d
making possession of t h e q u a r t e r o u n c e of marijuana for purely
personal use a violation for t h e first offense, rather than a
m i s d e m e a n o r . This, Hardt said, would " r e m o v e the stigma a t t a c h e d to
a person because of his conviction for a ' c r i m e . '
Moreover, a special p r o c e d u r e would be set u p so that first offenders
nol charged with a felony could have their prosecution deferred and,
after meeting c o n d i t i o n s specified b y a j u d g e , could have their cases
dismissed.
Dissenting M e m b e r
A m e m b e r of the T e m p o r a r y S t a t e Commission lo Evaluate the
Drug Laws said T u e s d a y he would eonlesl Ihe commission's conclusion that possession of marijuana should be considered a minor
offense.
Sen. .John H. D u n n e , R-Garden City, said he would propose
legislation " w h i c h will realistically meet the true dangers which the
use of marijuana poses t o society a n d its individual m e m b e r s . "
D u n n e said the s u b c o m m i t t e e found that marijuana would inhibit an
individual's ability adjust to a e o m p l e x society, would lead lo "a
d r o p p i n g out or t u r n i n g off from s o c i e t y , " and would lead to use of
o t h e r drugs.

Don Ellis At the Fillmore(Co
lumbia O 20343)—This album is
absolutely smashing as David
Frost would say. I don't know
what lasting value Ellis' music
may have (though I believe it will
be considerable), but it is, for the
moment anyway, both highly
challenging, immensely surprising,
and surging with newness (not
novelty). Ellis, as an arranger and
writer draws upon Indian music,
rock, jazz, classical music, and his
own highly inventive mind. His
use of understatement and overstatement in juxtaposition, as in
the opening "Final Analysis," is
not only attractive, but inspiring
and sometimes actually chilling.
His compositions always use
very tasty, slightly mind-bending
sonorities that make every note
worth listening to. "The Blues" a
humorous springboard for Ellis'
trumpet, and "Salvatore Sam" are
good examples of that.
His use of electronics is equivalent in quality and experimentation to any rock group, although
he gets carried away a bit on "Hey
Jude" where his irrepressible, inane sense of humor intrudes
One cannot talk about Ellis
without mentioning the key word
-excitement. He is totally committed to excitement, both in
furious and in more subtle ways.
They are stuffed into more than
85 minutes on this double album
making it probably the most
worthwhile purchase today both
economically and musically.
Bessie Smith, Any Woman's
Blues—It is just about consensus
that Bessie Smith was the most
important blues singer ever. It is
as simple as that.
This album is an absolute must
for blues fans who want to know
from whence it all came. Bessie
Smith sang it all-straight from the
heart, wasting no time on contrivances and if one can look past
the obvious old timeness of the
album they will be able to get a
glimpse of greatness. The inclusion of solos by guitarist Eddie
Lang, and the legendary pianist
James P. Johnson, are a welcome
addition.
Johnny Smith-(—Kaleidoscope
(Verve V6-8737). This album begins promisingly by swinging
loosely on the old hit "Walk
Don't Run," but the promise is
not completely fulfilled. Smith
has been around a while, but has
recorded rarely of late.
His side men are reputableHank Jones , piano; George Duvivier, bass; Don Lamond, drums.
But they rarely have a chance to
stretch out, with the exceptions
of the languid "Old Folks" which
spotlights some nice piano, and
guitar solos and some thoughtful
drumming, "Days of Wine and
Roses" which is given a bossa
nova treatment, an uptempo
"Sweet Lorraine" and the Brazilian "Choro da Saudade" which
has some interesting piano-guitar
interplay.
Both Jones and Smith can be
masterful improvisers as is evident
on a couple of the tracks, but this
album is too subdued to thoroughly highlight either. It is however, a peaceful record, and makes
for nice background mood music,
and there are some good jazz,
moments.

Film viewing this year has been
rather dismal to say the least.
There are always a few notable
exceptions however, and this "top
ten" list has been constructed
with the full knowledge that
almost everyone will disagree with
it and me. A few of the films
mentioned have not appeared in
local theatres, as of this writing,
and will receive larger reviews
when they are exhibited.
1) FIVE EASY PIECES- The
brilliant Jack Nicholson and the
EASY RIDER crew have constructed a moving and humane
film about alienation and the eonsequences of living a life. The
supporting performances are superb and Laszlo Kovac's photography is beautiful in its evocation
of the emptiness of a loveless soul.
2) LITTLE BIG MAN- Arthur
Penn's latest foray into history as
legend, stars Dustin Hoffman as
the 121 year old survivor oT the
Little Big Horn Massacre. Hoffman does an exhaustive job as old
Jack Crabb. Chief Dan George, as
Old Lodge Skins, gives a humorous, quiet dignity to the role as
chief of the "human beings."

Black Ensemble
Announces Program
by Robin Stigon
On Wednesday, February 10,
SUNYA's Black Ensemble Performing Arts Company will present its first offering of the year,
John Pepper Clark's verse-play,
"Sung of A Goat."
Founded in 1D6K to provide
cultural release for the Black university community, the Black Ensemble is presently under the direction of its president, Millege
Mosley. It has presented such
works as, "We Righteous
Bombers," "The Family Meeting," and "The Association."
plays which have dealt primarily
wifli race and revolution. In
"Song of a Goat." the Ensemble
has departed from this theme and
is presenting the university community with a play thai deals with
African cultural traditions.
"Song of A G o a f ' s rehearsal
schedule has involved a group of
relatively untrained State students
in four weeks of intensive production. The play's message, aside
from having meaning for the
Black community, in presenting
an example of African folklore
and traditions, is one of human
relations and communications
which can appeal to all peoples.
Millege happily predicts a bright
future for the Black Ensemble, as
each year it attracts new and
talented people, keeping a continual flow of new political and
social philosophies within the
group.
"Song of A Goat" runs Wednesday through Sunday, February

10) FELLINI SATYRICON
Phallic Fellini casts an ambivalent
eye upon the debaucheries and
bizarre life situations of preChristian Rome. This film is a
disjointed, adolescent wet dream
but its uncompromising director's
vision, of human and cultural degradation, is hellish and hilarious.
Certainly nowhere near his best
work but a far more imaginative
analysis of morality than many of
this year's exploitation films.

Jonathan Ashton ( on left ), Library Director, speaks with an associate.
Sleeping
Xerox Copying
Room to Move
The library does not run (i.e.
collect money from) the copying
machines; this service is performed by the Faculty-Student
Association, a campus-wide business concern which liberates faculty and students from their
finances.
Actual cost of copying one page
is ',Wi cents. FSA recently granted
the library's request to lower the
copying charge for students, so
the present 10-cent charge will be
reduced, as of February 1, to 5
cents.
Students who search in vain for
periodicals (also known as "magazines") will not be surprised to
learn that the library's ample supply is usually scattered about the
library, the podium, and the
quadrangles. One analyst of the
situation staled that the hiring of
one librarian for every magazine
in the library would probably
solve the problem. Until then,
students can only put the magazines they do find back where
they were found.
Mr. Ashton stated that by nexl
year one of the rooms in the
library basement will have been
renovated into a "browsing room"
stocked with current periodicals
FHiding Books
The Albany State University Li
brary uses the Library of Congress
Catalogue System, as opposed to
the Dewey Decimal System, hecause the former method is geared
for large collections. Unfortunately, the Library of Congress
System is most useful in a closed
stack library, where books are
accessible only to qualified per
sonne! who can find them for the
library users and, more importantly, who know where to put
them back. There is not a shelf in
the Albany library without a misplaced book on it, and the •.Indent
staff is insufficient to handle the
mix-ups. Books left in the bins on
every floor will be put back on
the shelves within a day after their
use, but those put back in the
wrong place by studenLs are as
good as lost.
Fines
Mr. Ashton, the Library Director, has this to say about fines:
"I'm against fines, except punitive
fines.... These (two cents per day)
fines aren't punitive, they're just
piddling fines."
If Mr. Awhton had his way (and
he doesn't), there would be no
fine for a book kept overdue
unless another student requested
it; in this case, the student who
had the book would be called and
given three days to return it, after
which he would be charged 50
cents a day for the overdue book.
Mr. Aahton does not have his way
because all fines paid to the
library go to the General Fund of
the State of New York, which
hands out money to all stale
Institutions. In other words, a
student who pays money on an
overdue book may very well be
helping out a welfare client in
Brooklyn, but he is not helping
out the library. To change this
policy would requre a petition to
the Senate Library Council and to
the Central Office of the State
University System; alot of red
tape for a piddling fine.
All -students still harboring legitimate grudges against the library's
fine system are requested to get a
job.
IBM Printout
An IBM printout, resembling in
size a soft-covered World Book
Encyclopedia, lists all books
which are checked out of the
library, on reserve, or missing. The
printout is updated every morn
ing, and copies are available for use
al the circulation desk and refer
ence desk.
Library sections often look like
they've been set up the week
before, and for some parts of the
library this is not far from true.
The library is acquiring new books
at a very rapid rate, and, since
the purchasing of new processing
equipment, is placing new acquisitions on the shelves much faster.
(Check with a librarian to find
these new books). Reshuffling of
some sections and overcrowding
of others has resulted from a
serious lack of space to put things.
The library basement now
houses several "tenants":
the
School of Criminal Justice, the
EOP offices, Community Services,
University College, and the School
(if Library Science. Offices originally built for library use had to be
turned over Lo these other essential campus organizations until
they could find suitable space
elsewhere.
The University recently rented a
large section of the Pieolte Building on Western Avenue near the
campus; some of the above organizations (not EOF or University
College) may move there by next
year, and funds for library renovation already approved in the state
budget will be used to place books
and periodicals in these basement
rooms.
Couches in the library provide
approximately 60% of the space
required for sleeping; the cushioned chairs supply 26^%, and the
study booths only 13%, as most
students are too lazy to clear off
the table tops. Library officials
offered no comment on the best.
places to sleep or on what amount
is good for you.
Checking Out
Mr. Ashton says about the policy of checking students as they
leave the library, "from a public
relations point of view, it isn't
worth a damn."
However, book-pilfering remains
a problem; even more books
would leave the library if some
sort of check weren't used.
It will be noted that the present
method still leaves much to the
student's own integrity. (See
photo). Stricter systems, such as
turnstiles at the front exit or
security guards posted around the
building, would be oppresive and
would probably present a desirable challenge to those who have
so far found it dull to steal books.

" C o m p e t i t i o n in all colleges should b e reduced. Grades should be o p t i o n a l , and
the student should be p e r m i t t e d t o settle for a pass-fail alternative if he so desires."
The above is an e x c e r p t from t h e Hazen F o u n d a t i o n Committee's report, " T h e
Student in Higher E d u c a t i o n . "
William Stallings, E d . D . , a n d E l w o o d Leslie, Ed.D., in a study to assess s t u d e n t
attitudes toward grades a n d grading practices, found that " T h e u n d e r g r a d u a t e
perceives grades as t h a t proverbial sword hanging over his head which forces him to
study c o n t e n t he o t h e r w i s e might n o t s t u d y . T h e power of the grade is strong
enough t o restrict his s t u d y i n g t o muterial which he anticipates will be o n tests.
Once a grade is received, it is n o t perceived as feedback or as a very accurate
indication of t h a t which w a s l e a r n e d . . . . "
Although financial c o n t r i b u t i o n s are lacking, Mr. Jenks feels the alumni can still
be a great asset. T h e y can help in t h e p l a c e m e n t of graduates from S U N Y A . "Like
n o o t h e r school, the alumni of Albany a r e deeply i m b e d d e d in t h e educational
s y s t e m in which t h e school must o p e r a t e . " Many past grads hold offices in t h e
s y s t e m a n d h e feels they can d o m u c h t o help the school if they are kept well
informed a n d are shown a p u r p o s e for aiding their alma m a t e r . Nearly H6% of t h e
alumni still live in N e w York State a n d m o r e t h a n 5,000 reside in t h e Albany area.
Mr. J e n k s feels t h a t Albany will hardly reach the proverbial situation where the
administration quakes when t h e wealthy a l u m n u s comes on c a m p u s to "look
a r o u n d , " n o r does he believe t h a t t h e alumni wish to " c o n t r o l t h e d i r e c t i o n of t h e
i n s t i t u t i o n . " Though he agrees t h e alumni m a y b e conservative by n a t u r e , he states
that " a l u m n i - s u p p o r t e d programs would n o t be hindered in their seeking of new
and innovative d i r e c t i o n s . "

the final spring rush period for
female c a m p u s Greeks. Starling
next, semester, only one rush period will be held each year, with a
fall c o k e r a n d an early spring
pledge period.
This action was taken as a result
of a vote of Inter-Sorority Council
last semester. T h e large amount, of
time required for rush functions
was cited by Cathy Whalen as a
major factor in t h e decision.

playing a larger role in university governance, the issue of AB-C-D-F(E?) is n o w
being explored.
Many universities have e i t h e r totally or partially switched over to a pass-fail
system. S t u d e n t s at P r i n c e t o n , which recently switched to a pass-fail system for
one course per semester, o v e r w h e l m i n g l y liked the change. After its trial period
only 3% of t h e s t u d e n t s polled in a s t u d y d o n e by Kurilna, Kaplain, and Stuart,
funded by t h e National S t u d i e s F o u n d a t i o n , wanted the system abolished. <IH% of
the students w a n t e d m o r e courses graded on a pass-fail basis. Two-thirds of t h e
Btudents were against d r o p p i n g t h e pass-fail system in favor uf a course-reduction
program that w o u l d have s t u d e n t s take only lour courses all graded traditionally
rather than five courses with o n e graded pass-fail.

University's reason for instituting pass-fail w a s t o e n c o u r a g e c o u r s e selection on the
basis of interest rather than grade c o n s i d e r a t i o n s . It was found, however, t h a t only
2H% of t h e s t u d e n t s polled t o o k pass-fail courses for the above reason, and only 7%
believed that t h e interest factor influenced their classmates' decisions to take
pass-fail courses.
Thirty-five per cent of t h e s t u d e n t s took pass-fail courses t o r e d u c e t h e tension of
and emphasis on course grades; 117% t o o k pass-fail courses to provide additional
sLudy time for oilier courses a n d / o r extra-curricular activities.
As for m o t i v a t i o n a n d increased learning, -15% of t h e s t u d e n t s polled in the
P r i n c e t o n s t u d y claimed t h a t they learned t h e same under pass-fail as they d i d under
a traditional system, a n d '11% said t h a t t h e y learned less under t h e pass-fail s y s t e m .
Besides this, 611% of t h e s t u d e n t s u n d e r pass-fail reported n o change in their
m o t i v a t i o n , and 2 1 % said that they e x p e r i e n c e d a decrease in m o t i v a t i o n . 7 2 % of
the s t u d e n t s polled a d m i t t e d that they work closer t o capacity in a letter-graded
course.
In addition, s t u d e n t * said t h a t if they were taking pass-fail courses for a grade
they would work harder, d o m o r e assigned reading, d o b e t t e r w o r k on papers, labs,
etc,, and that they would s t u d y h a r d e r for exams and quizzes. T h e s t u d e n t s stated
that in letter-graded courses they did H()% of t h e reading and a t t e n d e d 8 5 % of the
lectures, while in pass fail courses t h e y did Gl % of t h e reading a n d a t t e n d e d 7 4 % of

Oil. T e c h . Results
The California I n s t i t u t e of T e c h n o l o g y adopted a "Satisfactory-Unsatisfactory"
system for all courses for all freshmen in the fall of 11)01, T h e policy became
permanent in 1 9 6 6 a n d is considered a success. C a t Tech. evaluated that the
year-end attrition o f freshmen was less than average, and that the attrition occurred
almost entirely a m o n g s t u d e n t s in the b o t t o m fourth of the class academically. In
previous years it had b e e n spread over the entire class and had included the
departure of good s t u d e n t s by transfer. In addition, voluntary participation in the
freshman h o n o r s program m o r e than d o u b l e d over previous years, A Humanities
instructor was heard t o r e m a r k , " T h e y ' r e reading hooks again."
The results a t Cal. T e c h . seem to positively support the initial hypothesis and
rationale offered by p r o p o n e n t s of a pass-fail grading system. If a studenl does not
feel repressed or inhibited by t h e grading system, goes the theory, he may learn
more knowledge for k n o w l e d g e ' s sake. In addition, students may he more inclined
to take courses in academically unfamiliar areas. Others also suggest that s t u d e n t s
taking pass-fail o p t i o n s will s h o w greater motivation and intellectual curiosity than
those under traditional p r o g r a m s .

American Council on E d u c a t i o n R e p o r t
The American Council on E d u c a t i o n ' s report, entitled "Higher E d u c a t i o n and
National Affairs," surveyed several schools with pass-fail systems. At t h e University
of Michigan it was found t h a t m a n y s t u d e n t s tried to aim no higher than a " C , "
even though c o m p e t i t i v e spirit with a c c o m p a n y i n g frustrations a n d anxiety were
still present.
Al the Universtiy of Wisconsin it was found (hat only 11!)% of those s t u d e n t s
eligible to take pass-fail courses did s o . It was also found thai grades achieved under
the pass-fail system were generally lower than those under a traditional grading
system.
In I!t:i7, KIM rescinded the pass-fail system which il hud initiated in M i l l . T h e
reasons for the change were: " t o m a k e clear Lo s t u d e n t s their position with regard

While most of llie results m e n t i o n e d above were from schools with partial

EDITORIAL NOTE
The purpose of these two articles is to inform the reader of the
results obtained at other schools
where pass-fail systems are in
operation. It Is also the purpose of,
' this article to stimulate response.
| The pass-fail system at Albany is
i under continuing review, and it is
I hoped that through the forum of
the newspaper student and faculty
recommendations for the system
can be aired. The committee reviewing the system here at Albany
is in operation now, so if you have
a serious revision or a recommendation to make, now is the time to
act.

Fair Choice
Vol. LVII No. 4
There are times in this university when a situation is ripe
Now that Indian Quadrangle is almost finished, why can't
one hall in the low rise group be set aside as a graduate
dormitory?
Graduate students have been shafted as far as living areas
are concerned since the construction of the new campus.
Gradually, all else has moved uptown or further downtown to Draper, including graduate-level courses. Yet all of
the on-campus graduate housing remains downtown, in
Brubacher and Pierce halls. Grad students should be given
a choice of where to live, and now that Indian is nearly
finished such a choice can be possible.
At present, the university forces grad students into the
role, which not all of them like or want.
Students who arc new to the area arc forced into the arms
of Albany's robber-baron landlords if they wish to live
within a reasonable distance from the campus. Many times
this proximity to the campus is a must because of the
library and research facilities. There are an cver-increusing
number of full-lime graduate students, most of whose
courses are given on the new campus.
The university community is based on an interaction of
diverse personalities. How can this goal he achieved when a
portion of the community is always segregated from the
rest?
The means is at hand and the goal is worth working
toward. We urge all graduate students, HI students who
will be returning as graduates in the fall. In organize and
work for a graduate dormitory on ihis campus.
The graduate students of Ihis university have a rigid lo
choose their living area, just as the undergraduates do.

Barney, y o u ' r e a real card. I just
sent my n o m i n a t i o n off l o Washington, a n d hopefully you'll receive the weekly Spiro Agnew
award for G r a n d s t a n d Excellence.
I'm sure y o u ' r e u shoo-in liecause of the way y o u ignore t h e
I'acl that the s t u d e n t s , w h e t h e r
they like it or n o t , will have t o
pay for the paint j o b , T h a t ' s real
class, Barney.
Here's a n o t h e r tip for y o u , B.F.
It seems that filth is pervading us
everywhere.
Even
Governor

trust, has all sorl.s o f filthy, naked

going t o be a r o u n d this w e e k e n d ,
so y o u m i g h t sneak in t h e r e . T h a t
would b e a real c o u p , b a b y .
You s e e , Barney, w e have t o
keep these lackey liberals a n d
hippie s t u d e n t s off balance all t h e
time. Because Fowler, 'ol kid,
they are u n d e r m i n i n g the kind of
graft and c o r r u p t i o n that m a d e
this c o u n t r y great.
T a k e t h e S o u t h Mall project.
What a gem. T h e y spend a b o u t a
million dollars every thirty seco n d s , a n d will p r o b a b l y finish it

A n d w h a t a b o u t t h a t H million

off t h e ground and then blew u p
because s o m e d o p e forgot l o plug

And then of course Vietnam,
which is a classic in government
waste. I c a n ' t even c o u n t as high
as the a m o u n t of stuff we've lost

Like I said Barney, we don'I
want t h e public thinking aboul

So keep t h e people t h i n k i n g
