JUDICIAL
WORKSHOP
by John Fairhall
Hacking your way through a jungle may not sound like fun,
but that is exactly what the Judicial Workshop did this past
weekend.
Participating Faculty, students, and administrators struggled
to define the "jungle" of relationships that constitute our
University community. Their goal was to provide a basis for
an effective judicial system at Albany State.
The compelling need for something better than our present
system is evidenced by the rapid increase of crime on campus.
The system as it stands does not clearly state several
guidelines, including:
1} who may report a crime;
2) to whom a crime should be reported (i.e., n particular
judicial body or person);
Workshop
The Same Faces
An ASP Column
by John Fairhall
Ken Kurzweil rightfully called
the Judicial Workshop a success.
Much was discussed and prospects for an effective judicial
system appear good.
But let's highlight, for a moment, those who made the
Workshop a success. It was motivated by students, people such
as Ken Kurzweil, Ken Blaisdell,
Alan Ceppos, Barry Kirschner,
Michele Mazepa, Mario Arthur
and Sharon Stiller (with apologies to any unmentioned). Many
of those cited are members of
campus judicial bodies and it
was they who knew first-hand
the defects in our current judicial setup. Let's extend to them
our congratulations, then.
But please, please, do not call
the Workshop a student success.
For as so often seems the case
at Albany State, student action
is not collective but the result
of a few. The Workshop was
publicized and quite open, but
as usual, no one cume but the
regulars. For those ignorant,
"the regulars" refers to that
tiny group that is already involved in student government.
The regulars had more than
themselves to talk to, though, as
the Workshop was attended by
a veritable Who's Who of the
Administration. Chesin, Connelly, Brown, Williams, Thome,
and even John Henighan participated. President Benezet himself addressed one meeting. So
at least "They" came.
Judging from the caliber of
the people involved, then, I do
not feel that the Workshop's
representation—or its mandate
to act for all of us— can be
questioned. This problem was
raised during the weekend, however, d u e to the underrepresentation of "rank-andfile" students and, most important, of minority group students.
Why they weren't there is a
moot question, but I do know
that the judicial system that
develops will affect them.
I won't indulge in any diatribe
on student apathy. But I do
believe that, when future "student" actions develop and are
discussed, the names of those
student*, really involved should
be made clear. This should not,
j n fortunately, involve more
than a few extra lines.

The Campus Cop
by Dick Blystone
Associated Press Writer
On some police forces, 64 year-old Jim Eisenberg would be
called an anachronism. Ho doesn't like wearing a gun and would
rather walk than ride a patrol car.
On some police forces, 25-year-old Jim Davis would be called a
radical. He enjoys talking with young rebels on his beat, and he
keeps saying policemen should explain to people why they do
what they do.
In fact, both Sgt. James P. Eisenberg and Officer James W. Davis
combined something of the anachronistic and something of the
radical. They are campus cops — Eisenberg a lift-year veteran at
Cornell and Davis a two-year man at Berkeley. They have learned
to wear their ambiguities as easily as their uniforms.
Like their colleagues at colleges and universities across the
country, Davis and Eisenberg are both campus guides and
professional crime fighters, both friends to the students and
symbols of authority where authority is often heated.
It was not always so.
"It was like heaven to start out with," says Eisenberg, recalling
when as Cornell's only campus cop he patrolled on fool or
horseback.
"They were jusl a good bunch of mischievous kids, but they
were never trouble. It was fun.
"Oh, you might meet a guy peeking in a window, or some of
them would throw toilet paper out of the dorm windows...a little
bit of thievery and some noise calls. Sometimes one of them
would have one too many and I'd take him home or call some of
his fraternity brothers.
"I was issued a weapon, but I never carried it. I still won't unless
it's absolutely necessary,"
In the old days when things got out of hand, Eisenberg drew on
his experience as a civilian Conservation Corps boxing coach.
When the dusl had settled, "the next minute you wen- hack
buddies again and having a few beers together."
Davis never knew such days. He carries a pistol and a can of
chemical Mace on his daytime patrol of Berkeley's Sproul Plaza,
which has witnessed its share of tear gas and flying rocks.
The weapons come up often in the conversations with young
people that are a major part of Davis' job. Where Eisenberg once
could employ a brotherly right hook, Davis has to exercise
diplomacy.
"They've got to understand that why I'm there is no! loharass
them but to do a job," Davis explains.
The Berkeley campus recorded one rape, I 'i robberies, I 12
burglaries and 1,121 thefts in 1970 despite a 10 percent drop
in crimes. Its 87 sworn officers are about double the force
of
three years ago.
3) where, once reported, a case should be heard; and
•1) upon conviction, what punishment should follow, with
what particular avenues of appeal.
Several members of the workshop felt that victims of crimes
are often intimidated into silence, and attributed this to a
lack of faith in the system. The frequent lack of prompt
action in handling crimes was also cited as encouraging
students to remain silent or bypass the campus system in
favor of the civil courts.
Workshop members reached general agreement as to the
jurisdiction of a campus system. It was felt that our
community has a right to set standards for and judge the
behavior of its members. Concensus was nol reached as to
what people and what geographic area make up our community, but it was agreed that a judicial system should deal with
all areas that are of "community interest." Jurisdiction
should extend to problems that occur between members of
different campus groups: students, faculty, administrators
and staff.
Other areas of agreement were:
— the need to use civil courts as little as possible
—the nveil for a community code of conduct
—the need to avoid duplication of the civil court system on
campus
—the right of the campus judicial system to hold hearings on
student cases already pending in civil court
The important work of the Workshop was its full exploration of the judicial problem on campus. Lively dialogue
produced as many innovative suggestions as there were points
of view. Certain ideas seemed to constantly crop up, though:
that a campus grand jury be instituted, that a full-time legal
advisor be hired, and that Security deal mainly with crimes
involving victims, not property-damage crimes.
All seemed to agree that the role of the campus "peace
officer" needs a new definition. However, there was considerable debate as to the type of investigative service required.
Debate also centered on the power that campus judicial
bodies should have, with many feeling that Ihey should he
empowered to summon any person necessary to hear a
particular case.
Studenl-conducl records were discussed, one suggestion
being that they not he used in judging guilt but rather in
I •i.ermining the sentences of convicted offenders.
Much remains to be decided upon, and this will be the
work of the Steering Committee. Workshop Chairman Ken
Kurzweil called the discussions a success, and they were, but
this does nol belittle the responsibility that the Steering
Committee must exercise in upcoming weeks.
The committee numbers about thirteen persons, including
students, faculty, and administrators, Kurzweil hopes to see a
program developed and, in some degree, implemented, before
he graduades in June.
The committee has a greal ileal to work wilh because of this
lasl weekend, hut seeks additional comment from all corners
of the campus. Any information and opinion can be
submitted to the committee through Kurzweil,

Rocky's Proposed Budget [ J |
Draws Varied Criticism
Usually, the first day of budget hearings is the
so-called spender's day when more money is sought
from the state. The second duy generally is the
saver's day, and the time when speakers urge
cutbacks in state spending.
This year, reflecting Rockefeller's proposals for a
$1.1 billion tax increase, the protests creeped into
the first day of hearings.
The taxpayers, said Edward F. Leonard of the
Conservative party, are "being backed up against the
wall....Gentlemen, something has got to give—either
the backs of the taxpayers or the impetus behind
ever increasing state spending."
According to the Big Six mayors, "The proposed
state budget...includes hidden local tax increases for
virtually every local government as an inevitable
consequence of inadequate local assistance."

ALBANY, N.Y. AP - Governor Rockefeller
spelled out Wednesday the details of his proposal to
increase state revenue by $16.5 million in the newfiscal year through higher fees for a vast array of
licenses, permits, examinations and registrations.
The largest group that would be hit with higher
levies would be the estimated 1.8 million persons
who obtain hunting, fishing and trapping licenses.
They would pay twice as much after May 1, when
the total package of increased charges would take
effect.
The governor proposed the changes as part of his
plan to balance the 1971-72 state budget, which
would raise spending by about $1.5 billion.
Rockefeller said the fees charged for a wide
variety of special services have not been hiked since
the 1930's. He added that adjustments are needed
to keep pace with inflation.

IIio new president nf the State University at Buffalo
limk his fellow educators to task Monday, saying thai
anoyance and fear have led to "serious abuses of

"This arrogance," Dr. Robert L. Keller said at his
inauguration, "has been manifested in tlie imposition of
an autocratic lecture system which loo frequently has
denied students the freedom of inquiry which we have
claimed lot ourselves.
"We expected our own conclusions, expounded at
length, ID be returned dutifully at the end of the term.
We have thus displayed in ourselves the closed minds
which we have been so quick to condemn in others."
Keller also deplored what he called laws enacted
specifically to control campus disorders.
lie said such laws were "repressive at worst,and at best
they were regressive, for Ihey are certain to erode the
institutional autonomy winch is a prerequisite for true
academic freedom."
Keller also said educators spend too much time on
research and not enough lime on teaching.
Keltei said loo many educators have accepted lighter
course loads "nol to devote more time to individual
students but to pursue our own interests..."
"Our offices are more often closed than open to
students," he said, "and much of our teaching has been
lel'l to the least experienced."
The university, he said, shouldn't reject research, but

Democratic Leaders
Fa vor Drug Law Ease
ALBANY, N. Y. AP - The legislature's Democraticleaders came out in favor of a proposal to ease the
penalties for possession of small quantities of
marijuana.
Senate Minority Leader Joseph Zaretzki and
Assembly Minority Leader Stanley Stein-gut issued a
joint statement endorsing recommendations made?
last month by the Temporary Stale Commission to
Evaluate the Drug Laws.
The commission proposed a revised range of
penalties so that possession and use of the smallest
specified quantity of marijuana-one-quarter
ounce—would be punishable by a maximum of lf>
days in jail, rather than the present one year
imprisonment.
Zaretzki and Steingut said a broader range of
penalties would make the state's law "both reasonable and enforceable."
They added, however, that they did nut endorse
legalizing the use of marijuana.

therefore, give to the working class of Ireland all the
means of production. 1 would classify that as a
socialist republic."
The purpose of her trip to America is to raise
funds for a socialist research center in Belfast. She is
a member of the People's Democracy which has six
aims: one man, one vote (in Northern Ireland
property qualifications exist for voting and rich
landowners acquire the votes of their tenants); and a
fair drawing of electoral boundaries; freedom of
speech and assembly; repeal of the Special Powers
Act (which gives the police almost unlimited power
of arrest and detention); and a fair allocation of jobs
and houses.
She was also asked about hersympathy lor Angela
Davis.
"...if you look at Angela Davis' position, it's very
much the same as Dan Derrigan's position or the
position of far too many young people in Norther
Ireland... Everybody knows that were they nol the
people they were, did they not expouse the political
ideologies they do, they wouldn't be standing
there.""You become very aware...that the law is not
the protectorate of the people. It is yet one more
arm which can be used by those people in ower to
stiffle the dissidents."
Devlin holds that there is not equality before the
law. "It is made by the system for the protection of
that system, and anyone who tries, by whatever
peaceful means, to change that system, will find
that the law is wide enough to charge him with a
crime."
As "a member of the international working class,
we assert our right not only to the means of
production, but we organize to take that right. And
when military might is used against us, we assert our
right of survival and self defense," she said.
Miss Devlin believes unification can occur only
when workers find the common bond of socialism
to unite them.
Civilian Review Board to
Watch Military
Intelligence
Robert Dobkin
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON AP- Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird announced today creation of a top-level
civilian review board to oversee domestic military intelligence activity and to insure that the constitutional
rights of all citizens are safeguarded.
Laird named Asst. Secretary of Defense Robert F. Froehlke to head the board
and "direct,
manage and inspect military investigative and related counterintelligence activities."
The action carries out Laird's Dec. 2.'1 pledge to strengthen civilian control over domestic military
intelligence operations to prevent a recurrence of the controversy that surrounded the military's spying on
civilian dissenters and political activists.
The new hoard, called the Defense Investigative Review Council, will be composed of senior civilian
Pentagon ollieials with only one of its members from the military. He will be Lt. Oen. Donald Bennett,
director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, D1A, which is responsible Tor foreign intelligence.
Froehlke said the new board is preparing a comprehensive, departm nt-wide policy governing all future
investigative and related counter-intelligence activities.
Froehlke said a review of charges that the military spied on civilians without authorization round thai
the allegations "were often exaggerated, but contained sufficient substance to justify both concern and
corrective actions.
Although he declared he "found no evidence or a grand conspiracy," Froehlke acknowledged thai, in
some eases, the rmlltary had been negligent in its zeal to collect information on possible civil disturbances.
Senate hearings will open next week on allegations that spying on civilians by the military violated
constitutional rights to privacy.
He blamed the problem, in part, on the tense domestic situation in 1967-68, During that time when Ihe
military was ordered into an area, he said, civilian officials were ' too imprecise" in telling what the
military could do.
Under the reorganization, he said, the review board will report directly to thesecretary of defense

Result of Cooperation
by Larry Berwitz
Bernadette Devlin told a cheering crowd at
Skidmore that the fight she helped lead in Northern
Ireland was "not in defense of a Catholic minority
but to demand economic freedom and justice for
the working class."
Speaking before an overflow crowd in Saratoga
3unday, the twenty-three year old MP (Member of
Parliament) stated she had arrived at her socialist
DUtlook "by the worker route, not by the
intellectual route. I speak not as an Irish Catholic
but as a member of the international working class."
Devlin grew up on welfare and family charity after
ner father's early death. The area she lives in has
never had a male unemployment figure below 7%.
(It is now over 10%.)
The recent demonstrations in Ireland began in
October, 1968, when a group of civil rights
demonstrators were doused with water cannons.
Because of her participation in demonstrations last
year, she was imprisoned for four months. However,
she was reelected to Parliament and took her seat
after her release from prison.
Devlin said that "official government statistics
show 5% or the British own 85% of the wealth."
She said the situation is similar in most countries.
"The working class has created every progressive
change in the world. The 5% have produced the
wars and misery. The working class has not started
war." In a related comment, she said, "The 5% of
Americans created the demand for the Viet Nam
War because they were afraid of losing power in the
area."
At a press conference earlier in the day, she stated,
"What I would wish for Ireland is a ...situation
where the people have got their rights, that is a
situation in which there is no unemployment, no
poverty line, no homeless; to have that situation
you must, in fact, have the control of the wealth
and power in ...the hands oT the democratic
majority."

A spirit of co-operation between faculty and students has
been instrumental in the formation of the Slavic Studies Department, to be instituted here at
SUNYA in the fall. Ten years ago
Russian studies were started at
SUNYA under the auspices of the
Germanic and Slavic Languages
and Literature Department. At
that time, there were only thirty
books in the Russian field in our
library. Since I hen, the Russian
library has grown to over 10,000
volumes.
There were original plans to
form a Slavic Studies Department
here in Fall 7 0 . Noted historian
Michael Cherniavsky and Professor David Djaparidge were slated
to organize such a department.
However the new department to
be postponed a year, until a new
chairman could be found.
At present, the applicant accepted by the Russian Department's faculty-studet committee
is being cleared by the Committee
on Continuing Appointments. It is
hoped that this new appointment
can bo announced sometime next
month.
A search committee composed
of administration and faculty was
formed to find suitable candidates
for the position of chairman.
Three candidates met with the
faculty and the Russian student
representatives and both groups
voted fiO-SO for the candidate of
their choice. The student representatives became involved with
the Russian Department as a result of the Student Strike last
spring. These students are the
elected representatives of the
majors and minors in the Russian
Department and have been instrumental in urging reform within
the Department as well as pressing
for Russian autonomy from the
German
Department. Sonya
Sasuta, nominal head of the student representatives commenting
on the student rationale I'or involvement said, "Everyone needed
an answer to what the University
was about."

Catherine Wolkonsky who is going

Professor Wolkonsky has
been at SUNYA since 1963 and
has been instrumental in the
growth of the department.
Since the inception of the Russian Department, its growth has
been rapid. In 1966 a graduate
program for Master of Arts was
formed. There are between twenty and twenty four graduate students taking part, in this program
every year. Last year there were
thirteen graduates with a Master
of Arts degree. There are presently plans to incorporate a doctoral
program in Lhe department by

Over the past three and a half years I have learned
that the SUNYA b o o k s t o r e is the s t u d e n t s ' worst
e n e m y . I have been told n o t less than ten Limes (one
time this semester) t h a t the b o o k s t o r e was o u t of a
book I needed. I have resorted t o buying them
elsewhere, borrowing t h e m , wailing lor them t o
c o m e in, and, in one case, d r o p p i n g t h e course.
I am presently waiting for a h o o k . When I firsl
went t o b u y it, I was told the b o o k s t o r e ordered
t w e n t y - t w o books. When I talked t o m y professor
about it, he said he ordered twenty-four After a
count of how many p e o p l e in the class d i d n ' t have
the book, my prof found t w o people (including
myself) had heeu screwed by the b o o k s t o r e . Now
you tell m e , if '21 b o o k s were ordered b y m y

Since Mr. DiNovo did n o t c u t o n e order this
semester, the only way t o explain this is I hat Mr.
DiNovo does n o t k n o w h o w t o c o u n t . Maybe he
thinks if y o u take t w o away from twenty-four, you

Not a Racist
To the Editor:
In her column, "While Students: Insensitive and
Blind," Miss Griffith raises some interesting questions. S h e says, "...you (whiles) have the nerve to
want Lo rob them (Blacks) of their few requests. Are
you some greedy child that must have an equal
share of everything? 1
1 personally think the "child" is really unnecessary, since being a greedy adult is just as despicable
if not. more so. However, is wanting an equal share
greedy? If so, then the whole concept of " e q u a l i t y "
as being righteous and just must come under close
scrutiny. It might n o t be just at all, only greedy! If
so, then all these years, while I thought the Blacks
were crying out for justice, they were only guilty of
greed, albeit the same greed we whites have been
guilty of all along, b u t greed none the less.
Incidentally, I can write an entire article making
false accusations against Whites as did Michael
toward Blacks. I refuse t o play u p t o his ignorance. I
realize that his aricle was a p r o d u c t of his s t u p i d i t y .
He shows that the white s t u d e n t s are strangling in
their superiority complex, t o such a degree whore
their emotions are affected, and they are hurt. In
other words the white s t u d e n t s are saying that
Blacks have n o right t o have m o n e y , and dress nice
at least n o t t o out do any white person. I think that
is rather rldiculo ., d o n ' t y o u ?
What t h e article was trying t o say is t h a t we are
getting everything freo. There are a great deal of
white s t u d e n t s on E.O.P., b u t they d o n ' t m a k e it
k n o w n . They only appear on days when m o n e y is
being h a n d e d o u t . H o w come they d o n o t dress
nice?

That blatant racism is indeed still alive can be
clearly seen in Margaret Griffith's column in the
Feb. 16 ASP. Her statement that it is "quite obvious
that the stigma of Blacks being shiftless, lazy, and
dirty has just been a means of projecting your
innate q u a l i t i e s " is characteristic of the ugly slurs so
often heard from the m o u t h s of white racists,

By suggesting that you can perceive an individual's

Miss Griffith accepts the tenet by which white

o u t w h a t m a k e s Spec tick t h e ASP interviewed him in a
three-hour session on F e b r u a r y 10 a t his n e w s p a p e r ' s offices in
Colonie.
Spec t r u n d l e d o u t a n d greeted us with a smile. We used
psychology o n h i m a n d smiled back, then t h r e w him off-balance
temporarily b y n o t i m m e d i a t e l y scribbling obscenities o n t h e
walls. (We d i d t h a t o n t h e w a y o u t . ) Seated in t h e conference
r o o m , he told us of his c h i l d h o o d in R o t t e r d a m and of his
week-long c a m p i n g trips t o Lake George. He was k n o w n as a
" r a b b l e - r o u s e r " in S c h e n e c t a d y , a r e p u t a t i o n which has certainty
not deserted h i m .
Detractors have called him t h e " V o i c e of M o r a l i t y , " " T o w n
S c o l d , " and " J e s u s Christ, J r . " " M o s t people think of m e as a son
of a bitch or n o t ; m y o w n o p i n i o n is s o m e w h e r e in b e t w e e n . " His
m a n y years as a police r e p o r t e r have molded a personal
philosophy which "balances a n n o y a n c e with a sense of h u m o r . "
He says he is " r e a s o n a b l y t o l e r a n t , " b u t a b h o r s b r u t a l i t y .
We asked h i m when he first started writing a b o u t Albany S t a t e .
" I wrote my first article o n S U N Y a b o u t a year and a half ago,
when I was e n o r m o u s l y intrigued b y t h a t c a r t o o n showing a
professor defecating into a f u n n e l . " R e m i n d i n g us again of his
reasonable t o l e r a n c e , h e confessed t h a t the ASP of t h e last few
years " d i s t u r b e d " h i m .
We got a r o u n d t o Sayles Hall. Spec could hardly sit still w h e n
we m e n t i o n e d it. " T h e crux of the matter was n o t the d e f a c e m e n t
of several h u n d r e d square feet of wall; I could care [ess! It's n o t
t h e harmless graffiti, b u t the fact t h a i the activities of a few
influence t h e majority. I d o n ' t care if they say ' F u c k Barney
F o w l e r , ' b u t here a small minority forced their o w n form of art
u p o n t h e majority w h o have to pay for i t . " We told him t h a t s o m e
of t h e defacers have turned themselves in. " I admire t h a t : It takes
guts to d o i t . "
C o n c e r n i n g his e n t r y Into Sayles, he shrugs it off with a c h u c k l e .
" Y o u ' r e t o o easily s h o c k e d . I d o n ' t think any individual w h o
keeps his r o o m clean should mind m e coming into a r o o m I
consider a pigsty in o r d e r to raise the .standards of t h e d o r m . I
think t h e slobs should be p u t in one or t w o d o r m s of their o w n . "
What gives h i m t h e right t o play the role of Mr. Clean? " A s a
r e p o r t e r I have t h e right t o enter any state i n s t i t u t i o n . " Would he
e n t e r private a p a r t m e n t s in government-owned housing projects?
" I f t h e r e were reason t o believe that certain c o n d i t i o n s existed
t h a t were n o t in keeping with proper standards of living, I think a
r e p o r t e r w h o could n o t get permission from t h e Housing
A u t h o r i t y would be remiss in his d u t y if he d i d n ' t go in there. I'll
m a k e every d a m n e d effort I can - within reason - t o get in and
observe. This is m y j o b , this is what I've d o n e all my life," Would
B a m e t t Fowler, private citizen, be upset if he rented a motel
r o o m and s o m e r e p o r t e r , thinking something was amiss, b r o k e in?
" I would e x p e c t i t . "
" I d o n ' t care if they say ' F u c k Barney F o w l e r . ' "
"Be a 'Self-Gooser' "
" I d o n ' t like oversupervision, this is for the birds, b u t s o m e b o d y
should have stepped in t w o or three years a g o w h e n t h e ASP g o t
o u t of hand. I called it a c a m p u s rag, a n d very cheerfully s o .
Unless y o u hate adults, what's wrong with taking an e x p e r i e n c e d
adult and asking his advice? You've got to be a ' s e l f - g o o s e r ' - t h e
competition is between mediocrity and excellence. In y o u r case,
with no administration interference or faculty advising, it's got t o
c o m e from within yourselves.
" I used to teach journalism at Siena, and as technical advisor t o
their paper I gave those guys every conceivable kind of free rein,
within reason. I once ordered a Father from t h e c l a s s r o o m for
trying to take over a discussion.
" A N e w s p a p e r ' s G o t t o Have C u t s . "
" I ' m n o t s h o c k e d b y a four-letter word, b u t w e ' r e concerned
with t h e q u e s t i o n of a s t a n d a r d , n o t of c o n d u c t , b u t of printing.
We u n d e r e s t i m a t e t h e actual p o w e r of a n e w s p a p e r . There a i n ' t a
hell of a lot of sense in a n e w s p a p e r existing unless it's p u t t o
reasonably good use. T h e p a p e r last year was b e c o m i n g t o o
damned occupied with biological functions
reccs and o t h e r
certain enjoyable acta." (A sly wink here.)
Asked a b o u t t h e p r e s e n t ASP, Fowler had s o m e kind words,
declaring that in his o p i n i o n t h e paper has " i m p r o v e d in q u a l i t y .
Your paper n o w is b e t t e r because it shows m o r e balance, as is seen
by the recent 'Crime o n C a m p u s ' editorial. T o o m a n y people
today are regimented into the s a m e kind of t h i n k i n g ; because a
campus may b e liberal is n o reason for the paper t o be so. A
newspaper has got to have guts. G u t s is the t h e m e of everything
that I w r i t e . "
Spec says he has read the Albany
lianlv, which he has
contributed to financially and has referred to in past c o l u m n s as
" t h e voice of s a n i t y " on the S U N Y A c a m p u s . He has also read
Sweet Fire: "I was particularly fascinated by their description of
the narco s q u a d . "
"Did B a m e t t Fowler ever a d v o c a t e suppression of the ASP?
" Y o u bet I d i d ! And I'll d o it again if n e c e s s a r y . " This we found
to be interesting, as Spec never w e n t to college and a d m i t t e d that
the ASP is aimed at a fairly specific a u d i e n c e which is n o t as easily
offended as the readers of the Times-Union.
Wc asked what t h u s
gave him the right to call for t h e suppression of a publication
which is funded in n o way ( " T h a n k G o d ! " ) by his tax m o n e y .
At length, F o w l e r c o n c e d e d that going into a private r o o m
" m i g h t have t h e effect of irritating s o m e o n e . But 1 challenge
a n y o n e t o bring charges. Find something in SUNY law; I'll plead
i n n o c e n t a n d I'll be willing to take the c o n s e q u e n c e s . "
C a m p u s Cops and Robbers
S h o u l d Security Police be armed? " Y e s ! " With w h a t ? "With
guns! I d o n o t believe it is sensible to emasculate .security guards
by n o t even giving t h e m a slingshot."
Spec feels this ballistic chsembowelment is t h e fault of t h e
a d m i n i s t r a t i o n . " T h e y should s t o p playing cops and r o b b e r s o n
c a m p u s . I d o n ' t think S U N Y has leadership; it is being run mostly
by s t u d e n t s and n o t by t h e administration. A good s e g m e n t of
s t u d e n t s are o u t of c o n t r o l at Albany State. Permissiveness has
grown t o t h e point w h e r e it has b e c o m e a F r a n k e n s t e i n on t h e
c a m p u s . I believe t h a t for every action there is a reaction. I believe
t h a t s o m e o n e w h o defaces or d e s t r o y s n o t only should get

S p e c m e n t i o n e d a letter he received from S U N Y A Public
R e l a t i o n s Director David Van Dyke stating that over $f>000

" W h y c a n ' t we nail t h e bastards who did t h i s ? " Would he expel all

On Marijuana
" T h e smell of it turns my s t o m a c h , " snorted Spec as he Ml u p

enrolled in the program, with thirteen graduates
expected in May. Looking to next year, approximately 250 applications to the school have been
already received, a great increase over the past few
years. Dr. Major said that this was due to a new
admissions policy which allows applicants to state
their intention of entering the School of Nursing on
their regular college applications. At present all of
these people cannot possibly be accommodated,
however, until the extension of the West Podium.
At that time, possibly 350-400 students can be
handled.

Now every night on Mondays
and Wednesdays and Fridays, too,
the classrooms and hallways in the
Hunter College-BeIlevue School of
Nursing rumble with the deep
resonant voices of student nurses
who sport a sprinkling of mustaches and goatees and bald heads
and who, in total, could be a
husky and muscular, if average,
football squad.
For these students are grown
men, almost 100 of them, engaged
in an innovative experiment with
two main goals:
—To help overcome a critical,
nationwide shortage of nurses.
—To train policemen and firemen to become full-fledged registered nurses—RN's—so they can
have second careers after they
retire as early us age '10, or later.
The program, an idea of Dr.
Joseph A. Cimino, began last September and involves 13 hours of
evening classes a week. The men
will take Vh years to complete it.
When he proposed to individual
firemen and policemen that they
become nurses, "their first reaction was, 'Ah, that's just for
women."
But 1 argued that nursing is a
profession offering very interesting challenges. Nurses are taking
on more responsibility in coronary care and intensive care units,
for example. They are actually
practicing more medicine now.
There is more electronics in medicine, and lots of opportunities for
interesting jobs in hospitals, and
in community health projects."
The need for more nurses has
become chronic due to the heavy
turnover in the field. Girls who
become nurses may marry within
three to five years—"that's about
the time from diploma to prognancy"—and many do not return
to nursing after their children are
grown. If young men could be
induced to become nurses—as
Cimino and others hope—"one
man could be the equal of 10 to
15 female nurses in terms of
actual working years during his
career."
Though the schedule is quite
heavy, only one man has dropped
out so far. And some 65 policemen and firemen have already
signed up lor the second course
next fall.

Established in September, 1967, the School of
Nursing has received little publicity. The school is a
regular departmental program, leading to a Bachelor
of Science degree in nursing. As in any other
departmental program, students enter the program
immediately upon being accepted to Albany.
The idea of establishing a school of nursing at
Albany stemmed from a study made by nurses in
the area, showing that a school of this nature was
sorely needed. Consequently, Albany State was
selected.
The curriculum consists of 120 semester hours,
spread out over a four-year period. This is composed
of 54 credits in Nursing, as prescribed by the school,
3 credits in Communication, 25-27 in Science and
Math, 21 credits in the Social Sciences and Humanities, and 15-17 elective credits. Thus a nursing
major builds a strong and varied background, which
she can later relate to her rote as a nurse.
A great deal of a nurse's instruction is in clinical
work, which begins in the sophomore year. This
consists of experience in regular hospitals and
institutions in the area, St. Peter's and Child's
Hospitals to name two. Instructors accompany the
students and combine lecture material with first
hand experience in patient care and assessment. The
program follows a pattern in which more clinical
work is done each year, with fewer non-nursing
courses.
According to Dr. Major, Dean of the School of
Nursing, there are about a hundred students now

is a vast
improvement,
acoustically,
visually, and tactically , over the
gym or the Armory, and regular
jazz and rock concerts there
would be a welcome boon. The
ispotty attendance, which the MC
seemed to imply was a sign that
Albany doesn't want to support
such an effort, can be attributed
to the fact that tickets were unavailable. If N.S.P. can get tickets
to the outlets well in advance of
the shows they'll sell—the BeeGees
didn't because they're not a draw.
No one's heard from or seen them
in years.
That's typical. The
sound system, whichthe MC said
was the Li fetime 's and was
brought up from NYC didn't
work well for Dreams and was

Music Council will present the
Musical Celebration in the PAC
Recital Hall on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 26& 27, 1971. The
play, which ran on Broadway in
1969 is by Tom Jones and Harvey
Schmidt, authors of the Funlusticks,imd is directed by Michael
Reynolds.
The play is a parable of life and
death, a ritual performance combined with elements of musical
comedy. It concerns the struggle
of young, optimistic, innocent Orphan, played by John Kearns, and
aged, materialistic, bitter Mr.
Rich, played by Bob Hebert, for
the dominaiton of Angel, an aspiring young actress, played by
Kay ten Kraft.
Angel is torn between the materialistic beauty of "Being a Somebody" and the absolute beauty of
Orphan's idealistic dream world.
The struggle is narrated and coordinated by a master of ceremonies, Polemkin, played by
Michael Reynolds, and a group of
Revelers, a dancing chorus, who
also assist and comment on the
action.
Performances will be held at
8:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 26, and
at 2 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on
Saturday, Feb. 27. Tickets will be
sold in the PAC Box Office from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, Feb.
19 and from Feb. 22-26 and
before each performance. Admission is $1.00 with tax card,
and $3.00 to the General Public.
The production is funded by

Miles Davis was a more than competent musician when most of us
were little kids, and he's gotten

with the rest of us (and the world
in general). Expect insanity. This
is an album that reflects the war
in Vietnam, the American cultural split, the world situation..

The band, a rather tight band,
plays an absorbing two hour set at
New York's major rock pit, the
Fillmore East. The performance
by this combination of rock and
country essences, called Hot
Tuna, is interesting and yet somewhat subdued.
The set ends and cries resound
from all corners of the concert
hall for more. The return to the
si age by the musicians is as
prompt as it is expected but onto
the stage walks a seventh musician. His face and eyes as snow
white as the electric strobe which
announces his presence. His long,
thin fingers cradle the guitar he
has made love to so many times in
so many ways. Johnny Winter is
here to jam.
What follows is rock and roll.
Winter's presence uplifting the
spirits of all. Trying as hard as
possible to avoid the inevitability
of stealing the concert, he waits
for nods from Hot Tuna guitarist
Jorma Kaukonen and proceeds to
bleed his incredible talent onto
guitar, through some alive, almost
effortless riffs. His union with
guitar now completed, the whole
audience is captivated by the
sound.

As for me, I too wus a beneficiary of Donald's ESI', for when he
left me alone on the lake I figured I would gel to drink all- not just
half—of the goodly supply of Miller High Life Beer we had brought
along, and as you know of course, Miller High Life is never so welcome
as it is on a tranquil sylvan lake while a Hock of Canada geese darkens
the sky abovo. Of course, Miller isn't bad in a 'ioisy bar either while a
flock of American coeds durkens the jukebox. For that matter, it's even
great in the dorm while your cruddy roommate darkens the t u b .
B u t as it happened, I never did get to drink all our Miller High
Life because I forgot how well sound travels across a sylvan lake. No
sooner did I pop my first can of Miller when —lo and behold!—ten
Mounties galloped out of the forest singing selections from Hose Marie!
Of course, I shared my Miller with them, and gladly, because I know

Physicists tell us there tire three basic forces a t work in the universe: matter, energy and chopped liver.
B u t I, for one, am no longer satisfied with this narrow definition.
How do physicists classify ESP? Certainly it falls into none of these
categories, b u t just as certainly it exists. And not as a mere theory; ESP
is a proven, demonstrated fact.
For example, how many times have you walked into a place you
never saw before and yet recognized everything? How many times have
you known the exact words someone was going lo say before he ever
said them? How many times have you been absolutely certain something was going to happen hundreds or even thousands of miles away
and, sure enough, it did?
Let me tell you about a case I am fortunately able to document.
Some years ago I went fishing with my dear friend Donald L. Kromkiss
at a virgin lake deep in the Canadian wilds. It was hellishly difficult to
get there, but we did not mind, for the moment we dropped our lines
we each caught a splendid erappie. Mine weighed just overllOO pounds.
Donald's was somewhat smaller, hut by far the friendlier.
Imagine my surprise then when, before we could Ihrow our lines
back for another try, Donald suddenly leaped up and cried he'd had a
premonition t h a t he must go home immediately. He could not tell me
why. He only knew that some owe or some thing was calling him back
and he had to go a t once. Apologising profusely, he left me alone on
the lake and portaged to the nearest town (Moose Jaw, well over a
thousand miles, and poison sumac every inch), and there hi; chartered
a Ford Tri-Motor and (lew home.
Well sir, at first he felt like an utter doll. Everything was perfectly
normal at home. His wife Edith was quietly reading The Scnsiioin*
Woman. His son Herschel was taking his daily glassbiowing lesson.
His dog Trey was eating his leash.
And yet the premonition would not leave Donald. Carefully, he
went through the house, inch by inch, room by room. Sure enough,
when he got to the back hall he suddenly heard a faint whimpering
noise outside. He flung open the door. And there, by George, he saw
where the whimpering was coming from: someone had left a basket on
the back stoop!
Well sir, who can blame Donald for crying a cry of joy anil triumph? What a find! A whimpering basket! T h a i ' s something you don't
see every day, let me tell you!
And so today, as you know of course, Donald L. Kromkiss and
His Whimpering Basket is one of the highest paid acts in show business. Next Sunday, in fact, he completes his M t h consecutive year on
Ed Sullivan.

Ear To The Thunder

MARRYING MAIDEN It's a
Beautiful Day (Columbia CS
1058)
The violin has become an integral part of rock music recently
with the recordings of Sugarcane
Harris, Papa John, Doug Kershaw,
among others, helping to popularize t h e i n s t r u m e n t . David
Laflamme, the leader of IT'S A
BEAUTIFUL DAY, a San Francisco band, is one of the more
intriguing violin players as well as
being an evocative songwriter and
a mellow singer.
The group's second album "Marrying Maiden" ranges from the
syrupy Bosa Nova sound of "Let a
Woman Flow" to the happy,
stomping country "Hoedown" to
the 1890's good time sound of "It
Comes Right Down to You.
Unlike their first album, "Marrying Maiden" contains no real
stand out cuts. The only song that
could compare to "White Bird" or
"Girl With No Eyes" or "Hot
Summer Day" is Laflamme's version of Fred Neil's "The Dolphins." Laflamme is no longer the
dominating figure he was, probably on his own will.
This album is definitely a letdown after a great premiere album. If the group could achieve
more consistency at guitar and
keyboards to compliment Laflamme's vocals and violin work
and the strong back-up vocals of
Pattie Santos, they could become
a powerful group. I look forward
to their next album, but as of now
they are on probation.
The performers are, for the most
part top notch and the arrangers,
especially Jay Pruitt, are able to
write varying charts bringing out
trumpet voicings particularly well.
Compare the more reserved trumpets in "Roads" to the more
brassy sound in "The Toll." The
arrangements fit more aptly to the
body of the songs than do those
of the Blood Sweat & Tears
(Dallas' inspiration) and the result
is less contrivance and more soul.

Jaramillo is an excellent vocalist
with a deep, powerful voice, who
can really project. Ramsey Horton
has a nice solo on "The Toll," but
his combing as well as that of
guitarist Ken Pugh needs work.
This is a very exciting album and
group. At the moment they are a
little too derivative (lots of BS&T
and a smidgeon of Maynard Ferguson). Should they acquire a
group identity they have quite a
future in store for them.

The Evolution §

by Tom Quigley
The reported death of the old
Hollywood star system is totally
unfounded. It is always reassuring
to see older stars playing in
modern cinema but unfortunately
many of these ikons of the 40's
and 50's are relegated to roles as
father figures, mother types, or
kindly elders.
THERE WAS A CROOKED
MAN offers a bonanza of these
older stars in leading roles headed
by Kirk Douglas and Henry
Fonda, two of the best of a
dwindling breed. The vehicle,
however, is a poorly developed
and sometimes patently offensive
satire dealing with larceny and
brutality that separates the survivors from the sheep.
The setting is the old west hut

Vol. LVIII No. 12
by Allen Altman
Jr., a soft spoken thoroughly despicable con man, who politely
robs his victims and casually betrays his own henchmen with
neatly placed bullets in the back.
He is caught and repaid for his
wrongdoings against the Christian
community by being placed in a
rock pile hell hole in the middle
of the desert, While languishing in
prison he persistently plots to
escape with the help of a myriad
of degenerate prison types that
include ;i silent loner, two homosexual con artists one of whom
paints erotic Biblical pictures, a
silent strong armed Chinaman, a
handsome youth, and an old desperate whose hobby is growing
pot in a flower planter.
The potential "relevancy" of the
story-line is blighted by the minimal treatment of partinent topics

Benton and David Newman

reform, brutal subjugation and
homosexuality within prisons, and
two-faced Christian mores.
Yet this conscious, stylistic
imitation of M*A*S*H has none
of the humor or humanity inherent in the war satire. All the
characters are thoroughly unredeemable and this unsympathetic
treatment coupled with the superficial observations makes it rather
unpleasant, depressing, and weak.
The actors are uniformly excellent making the best out of their
individual badness. Douglas is deceptive and cunning as Pittman in
contrast to the typical Henry
Fonda role as the morally straight
and sincere warden. Hume Cronyn
and John Randolph, as the gay
inmates, are frequently funny and
effective. Warren Oates, as the
drifter, is particularly strong and
always suspicious. Finally Burgess
Meredith, to whom I wish years of
continued health, is inspired as
the old Missouri Kid who has
resigned himself to a life of imprisonment.
Joseph L. Mankiewitz, whose
last effort was a forty million
dollar epic bomb entitled CLEOPATRA, must be blamed for the
basic failures of his latest film. He
has returned from oblivion with
his ability to direct actors intact
but has seemingly lost ail the
style, pace, and verve he once
commanded as a top flight commercial director in the fifties.
Finally the pop-jazz music score
by Charles Strouse
is totally
inappropriate for a western further alienating an already overtaxed audience. Even the consistent twisl at the end of the movie

CROOKED MAN from going

The newly proposed constitution of Student
Association was ratified by Central Council by a
18**1-1 vote after many hours of lively debate on
Thursday. The constitution will now be up for a
referendum on March 8, 9, and 1 0 where it will have
to be approved by a 60% affirmative vote with at
least 20% of the student body voting.
A major part of the debate over the new
constitution centered on the composition of the
council. A proposal to reduce faculty membership
from five to four and give non-faculty personnel on
the University payroll a seat on Council was
defeated. An attempt was made to abolish voting
privileges that faculty members on Council now
have. Reasons cited for this were claims that
decisions of Council have no effect on faculty and
therefore faculty shouldn't have the right to determine how Central Council spends tax money. A
3-19-3 vote killed this proposal.
Under the new constitution, the President of
Student Association will no longer be President of
Central Council or hold a vote on Council. Instead,
the next Council will elect a chairman to preside
over meetings. The feeling was that this will provide
for better separation between the legislative and
executive branches of Student Association thus
making it more democratic.
In the past, the President of Student Association
needed 40% of the student vote to be elected.
Under the new constitution a majority vote is
required. If a candidate fails to receive a majority
vote, a run-off election would be held between the
two top vote-getting candidates.
Attempts were made to limit the power that the
President of Student Association would have under
the new constitution. A 2/3 vote that the Council
needed to override a presidential veto was changed
to a majority vote. The 2/3 Council vote previously
necessary to reject any policies and procedures
made by the President which it deemed inconsistent
with the best interests of the student body was also
changed to a majority vote.
Central Council urged that all students read the
new constitution before referendum days and get out
and vote on this important document that will run
the Student Association.
