The U.S. Is In Laos and the Campus Reacts
Plans Made
Rally on Campus;
Protest at Capitol
by Kenneth Denne
and
Harry Weiner
Responding tn I he recent South Vietnamese in vnsiun of Laos, .in open meeting of students last
evening made provisions lor a inarch on the Stale
Capital this afternoon. The march will he proceeded
by a rally in front ol lire Campus Center at I . noon.
Although a confused and chaotic atmosphere
prevaded the meeting, the prevailing impression was
that a more effective means of action than has
previously been taken is necessary to combat the
U.S. government's aggressive policies in Southeast
Asia.
Among the other proposals offered were a march
on the federal building and the Selective Service
Offices, and the halting of traffic on the thruway. A
desire was expressed by a number of the students to
organize a more cohesive movement that would
enable future actions to be more meaningful.
Although the original intent of the meeting was to
agree upon specific methods for a more effective
protest against the war, only this afternoon's action
was agreed upon. The greater part of the meeting
was occupied by "Profound Profanities," and the
possibility of a "SUIT-IN" scheduled for this
weekend. The depositing of fecal matter on the
capital steps was considered by many present to be
the most offensive manner of expressing the student's dissatisfaction with government policy.
Tentative plans were also discussed concerning a
demonstration on Saturday, February l.l. which
would involve both the University and Albany
communities. Il is hoped that such a demonstration
would serve to educate the community al large to
what the group termed as the immoral nature of the
U.S. involvement in Indochina.

Behind The Closed Doors
An ASP Parody
by Dennis Whitehead
Fouler
The student body of the Stale University College al
Oneonta has approved continuance of their mandatory tax
(see the report on page 3 of Monday's ASP). The vote was
an ovsrwhelming 1,800 in favor and only 220 students
against. Thus Oneonta has shown us thai despite all the
noise from right-leaning students and stale legislators, the
vasl majority of students still support the court-upheld
mandatory lax.
1
';?"
Mandatory lax on this campus supports many worthwhile student activities which benefil all Albany State
students. Many of these cannot be separated in price foi
taxpayers and non-taxpayers. In order to maintain the
existing programming and begin new projects, mandatory
tax must continue.

It has been called to our attention that Capitiousland's Great Regurgitalional Newspaper, hereafter
known as the Times-Onion, has been printing lewd
cartoons portraying one of our great naval heroes as
an exhibitionist. Upon checking, we found that this
scandal sheet had indeed published a comic strip
showing Donald Duck in full uniform, with I he
glaring absence of ;i pair of pants. These jejune
jotters should not he allowed to print such pornography in a family newspaper.

As s o m e t h i n g of an a m a t e u r movie critic, I'd like
to share with you those movies shown at S U N Y A
last year that, in my o p i n i o n , were o u t s t a n d i n g .
One of my favorites ran daily from J a n u a r y 'til
May. It was The Grande Illusion, with an all-star
cast including L'lil" T h o m e . Bill Perlmutler, and Al
Kuusisto as
"The President."
R u n n i n g simultaneously was Man of a Thousand
Faces, starring
Charlie Hennigan. Both of these pictures w e r e rated
" G " for general audiences.
A revival of the Wizard of Oz featured Gerry
Wagner as the Wizzard a n d , of course, all of those
beautiful little m u n c h k i n s , a rare treat, indeed.
A fine d o u b l e bill s h o w n last spring was J o h n
Kaufman in Lost Horizon and Tarzan's
Greutest
Challenge
with Ken Stringer as T a r z a n , Dave
Neufeld as Bwana, and Mike Lamport as a cast of
t h o u s a n d s . Stringer's performance was o u t s t a n d i n g ,
especially in his tweed loin cloth. However, in
several points of the film the script called for the
hero t o smile, an impossible task for t h e roughlough Ken, so Stringer's grins were d u b b e d in by
Rini
Marney N i x o n .
The summer offered only one fine film. Never
Steal Anything Small, starring the staff of WSUA.
The fall brought a bevy of exceptional movies,
including Dr. Kildare's lievengc featuring the entire
SUNYA Health Service staff. The most powerful
moment of the film comes when Kildare, played
affectionately by Charles O'Reilly, pours Cepacol
over a patient's rupt tired appendix, killing him
instantly.
Uncle Wiggley in Habyland, with Louis Bene/.et as
Br'er Rabbit, was fine children's entertainment.
And how can anyone forget Peter Haley's gripping
performance in Exodus, released just last month?
A few sports flicks made their presence known,
too. Dick Sauers earned plaudits for his production
of Gulliver's Travels, with the varsity basketball
team as the Lilliputians. Also on the athletic hit
parade was Kelly's Heroes, starring Brian Kelly and
the Albany swimming team. Finally, there was
Great Expectations, starring Boh Ford and a large
though inexperienced cast.

Reporter's Notebook: We recently had the opportunity to visit a local church in our continuing quest
for a family-oriented comic book. We observed a
large number of red-bound books, one of which we
opened at random, coining to a passage which
opened with the words," In hoc signum," which is
no doubt an obscenity in some communist language.
Elsewhere in the same book we discovered a passage
which read in part, "Forgive us our trespasses."
Although we can condone the act of trespassing,
and, in fact, indulge in it at timesourselves, we feel
that these pinkos can never be forgiven for anything.

Snowmobile accidents have once again made the
news in Capitiolislund. Recently a speeding snowmobile approached a railroad train from behind and
collided with it. The engineer of the train had been
deafened by the roar of his own locomotive, and
failed to hear the approaching vehicle. There were
no injuries, but the train was completely demolished. In another recent accident a large tree suddenly
leaped into the path of a snowmobile. The tree was
prqnounced dead at the scene of the mishap. It is
our feeling that all trees are a menace to snowmobiles, and should therefore be outlawed.
The January 27 meeting between Melvin Laird and John
Stennis regarding U.S. troop involvement in Laos was notable for
its absolute secrecy. After the
meeting neither Laird nor Stennis
would comment in any way what
had transpired at the session—only
that Laos had been discussed.
The ASP, however, today discovered a copy of the secret testimony which turned up in an IBM
carton at the Registrar's Office. In
the interest of informing the
American public as to exactly
what is going on in Laos, we
hereby reprint a transcript of the
meeting:

Dear Pete:
Well, obviously I d o n ' t think I'm
a fool writing travesties or I
wouldn't keep writing, b u t t h a n k s
for y o u r opinion. T h a t ' s w h a t it
all c o m e s d o w n t o , you know-y o u r letter, my reviews: all opinions, collections of words t o express t h e way we feel. Of course,
all m y reviews are "subjective
j u d g m e n t s . " In discussing art,
w h a t else is there? No music is
absolutely good or bad. Beauty is
in t h e eye of the beholder and
t h e r e are truths outside the Gates
of Eden and etc.
You want to know a b o u t music,
n o t the chairs, or the lines, or the
c o p s or Patti or Ken, If I were
reviewing in an era prior to the
i n c e p t i o n of rock, maybe I could
d o t h a t . But rock is a sociological
and cultural p h e n o m e n o n as well
as a musical one. (Would you
w a n t a reviewer of the Woodstock
w e e k e n d to talk only
about
m u s i c ? H e ' d be missing the point.)
Rock concerts are soeio-eultural
events as well as musical events.
T h e y are the affirmation of a
c u l t u r e , a gathering together, a
positive celebration in a negative
world. I want lo c a p t u r e the
whole m o o d of a concert of which
t h e music is an i m p o r t a n t part,
b u t n o t the only part. Interaction
b e t w e e n group and audience affects the way a concert goes.
Police interference can negatively
affect the whole mood of a con-
cert. Long lines and delays and
even hard seats can tire an audience and dull their enthusiasm
which, in turn, can leave a group
uninspired. Concerts create a
m o o d , a total feeling and I think
it important t o r e p o r t the whole
thing. As for Patti and Ken, it's
just a thing I like t o do - t o
mention the people I go t o concerts with. M a y b e because w h o
I'm with affects the way I feel at a
c o n c e r t . Maybe I just like t o do it.
Sorry it b o t h e r s y o u .
As t o m y m e t h o d of criticism,
y o u ' r e p r e t t y m u c h right a b o u t
w h a t I d o , b u t let m e explain
why, Most of m y reviews d o c o m e
d o w n to various degrees a n d ways
of saying " g o o d " and " b a d . "
Sure, I could qualify m y criticism.
I could talk a b o u t c o m p e t e n t
d r u m m e r s and inventive solos and
impeccable taste a n d skillful harm o n i e s . But w h a t is c o m p e t e n c e ?
What's inventive or impeccable or
skillful? It all c o m e s d o w n to this:
You have a b u n c h of people
making sounds and what matters
is h o w it feels and s o u n d s to you.
Does it really m a t t e r h o w talented
Eric C l a p t o n is if I d o n ' t like the
s o u n d s h e makes? ( T h o u g h as it
h a p p e n s , I do.) T h e r e are s o m e
talented opera singers. I just d o n ' t
like opera. When I say t h a t a
record is good, t h a t ' s a fact. It's a
fact t h a t / think it's good. And
I'm t h e only person I can speak
for.
My musical knowledge does n o t
all (or m o s t l y ) c o m e from liner
n o t e s or Wall Street slogans (Wall
S t r e e t slogans?) b u t let's n o t confuse

The rest is subjective. You want
t o know about music. What d o
y o u want to know? The best
( o n l y ) w a y t o know about music
is t o listen t o it.
My consumer guides are for people w h o are considering the purchase of an album. If we have
similar t a s t e s and I like t h e m u s i c ,
m a y b e y o u buy it and y o u like it
t o o . I can tell you a bit a b o u t why
I liked or disliked an a l b u m (as
space allows) b u t I c a n ' t deliver a

HERE'S WHAT WE WANT TO SAY
A sale must be true and believable. Each car line has a different "mark up" so to say "discount" is fooling
someone. You can't have a uniform discount on un-uniform items. Also to say dealer cost plus a fixed
percentage is bad. That would result in a profit of say $1.70 on a Pinto and $600 on a T-Bird—again not
believable.
We want to sell cars this way—Pinto and Maverick at invoice plus $170—Mustang and Torino at invoice plus
$200—the big Ford at invoice plus $230 and a T-Bird at invoice plus $285.
If you have read this far you can see our problem. We want to say to much and it's almost unreadable.
Write us an ad that can get this message across and come and get the $150.

and h i s t o r i a n , showing a D.W. Gril
fith
The other night when the little woman unci I got home from our
encounter group, I said to her, " I s n ' t it. odd, my dear, t h a t colleges
still haven't tried non-verbal communication?"
(Incidentally, the little woman I refer to is not, as you might
think, my wife. My wife is far from a little woman. She is, in fart,
nearly seven feet high and mantled with rippling muscle. She is a fullblooded Chiricahua Apache and holds the world's s h o t p u t record —
908 feet. T h e little woman I refer to is someone we found crouching
under the sofa when we rented our flat back in IU24. She has been with
us ever since, although to be perfectly honest, slut's really not much
fun to have around. She never speaks except to make a sort of moist,
gagging sound when she's hungry, and she'll often sneak up and tusk
you while you're busy watching television. Still and all, wilh my wife
away putting the shot most of the time, at least it gives me somebody
to hack around with.)
B u t I digress. " I s n ' t it odd, my dear," I said the other night to
the little woman, " t h a t colleges still haven't, tried non-verbal communication?" And it j« odd. Why do teachers keep lalkimj to students?
Surely they've learned by now that talking is no way to communicate.
I t ' s been proved over and over in encounter groups, T-groiips, sensitivity groups and grope groups that people don't really, truly reach
other people with lanaunue. Mow can they? Words, by their very nature, are ambiguous and artificial and conceal more than they reveal.
There is only one way to really, truly communicate wilh another human being, and that is to touch him and fed him. This is honest and
natural and basic and beautiful and legal in some states.
And yet teachers go right on tulkimj. No wonder they get no feedback. Let us say, for example, that a teacher is trying to get a s t u d e n t
to learn Boyle's law. Talk won't do it, not even if the teacher talks the
whole semester long, liut if one day be will simply and silently reach
out and just hold the student for a minute or two, maybe even dance
with him a little bit, he will find that the student has learned not only
Boyle's law but probably the fox trot too.
And what is more, the teacher wilt discover he has a new friend.
No longer will student and teacher snarl and make coarse gestures
when they see each other on campus. Instead they will run together,
clasp and nuzzle, trade hats, and finally, without a word - f o r what do
friends need with words?--repair to a nearby tavern for t h a t friendliest of all ceremonies: the sharing of Miller High Life Beer.

T h e philosophy of t h e Clinic will be c o m m e n s u r ate with that o r all Refer's services. T h e medical
services offered will c o m e with n o financial, legal, or
moral strings a t t a c h e d . Refer e m b r a c e s an ideology
which is non-judgemental, non-moralistic, and nondirective, l i s sole desire is to aid o n e ' s fellow
human beings. It is not i n t o savior trips, and it
makes no effort to reform tile people w h o seek its
help. Refer workers merely enlighten the troubled
individual to the alternatives, and then allow him t o
make a personal decision c o n c e r n i n g his difficulty.
This policy will be a d a m a n t l y adhered to in relation
to all work at the Clinic, and, as is usual Refer
practice, any records kept will be strictly confidential.
