Tongyai, a man who repeatedly advocated llie
violent overthrow of the United Slates government,
who on countless occasions promoted the destruction of government agencies and the murder of law
enforcement officers, turns out to be employed by
the Ontario County Sheriff's department. Police,
who at first denied this information, now deem il
inconsequential and focus only on Tongyai's role in
delecting drug abuse. Sheriff Morrow and Geneva
Police Chief McLaughlin resent the resistance they
encountered ill arresting students on June 5. Students put little emphasis on this and insist that live
issue is Tongyai's performance of his job in a
manner contrary to the propel conduct of a law
officer. Sheriff Morrow has admitted that Tongyai
was on Ihc payroll since mid-March, during which
time Tongyai may have aided and abetted llie
criminal act ol the ROTC fhebninhing on May I.
Il was brought to my attention that on al least
one occasion Tongyai participated in llie use of
marijuana. Il seems quite impossible for the sheriffs
department to support his actions as legitimate
activities for an undercover agent, when lie himself
used marijuana, bringing into question his personal
motives and the whole constitutional question of
entrapment.
The information leading to the arrests for llie May
1 ROTC firebonibing came in less than 3 hours aliei
the incident, li would seem that the police had Ihc
exact names and room numbers of the students
supplied to iliem. Concerning ilus incidenl there is
no excuse for those students, who disassociated
themselves from the bombing plot, lor nol going lo
the proper authorities and informing iliem of
Tongyai's and ihc other llobart students' plans. The
ROTC office is situated in the basement of ,i
student dormitory and llie possible loss of life lo
students living there is a factor of such gravity iliat
il could not have been ignored. Those sludenls, who
were not forthcoming with I his information acted in
a totally irresponsible, inexcusable manned.
The national publicity about the niglil of June 5
portrayed the Geneva Police department and llie
Ontario County Sheriff* department as a group of
incompetents. Some Geneva citizens called for the
closing of llobart. Other community members
sought a state investigation. Congressman Frank
llorlon of the 36th District released a grossly
inaccurate statement condemning the students. On
June I I , seemingly in response to growing commu-
nity outrage, lire Geneva police made six arrests of
sludenls and one faculty member present al the
June 5 disorder. Il appears thai these arrests were
made nol only lo appease a community crushed by
bad nalional publicity and widespread unfavorable
opinion, bul also lo complicate and abort any
prosecution of Thomas Tongyai. Dean of llobart
College John McKcan was called to the Geneva
police station Hie niglil before llie arrcsls to go over
a list of names for purposes of identification. Each
person on llie lisl was subsequently arrested, except
for the person, who the Dean informed the police,
did nol exist.
In regard lo complicating the prosecution of
Tongyai il is interesting to note that all seven people
arrested are capable of providing material testimony
againsl Tongyai as Ihey all had been associated wilh
him for some lime in one way or another. However,
that Ihey |are now| under indictment presents
certain legal questions of self-incrimination, should
Ihey testily against him. for this reason on July 2'),
Raphael Marline/ did nol lake the stand againsl
Tongyai during Tongyai's harassment trial. Judge
Anthony Cailo. of Geneva acquitted Tongyai on the
grounds that, because Raphael did not testify,
Tongyai's "intent was unclear." liven though Iwo
eye-witnesses testified that Tongyai threatened Martinez's life and actually struck him.
Il seems most likely that Tongyai was involved in
selecting who the police arrested in connection wilh
lire June 5 incidenl. since on several occasions.
Morrow and other police officers agreed, because of
the darkness, il was extremely difficult lo identify
individuals who were present llie niglil of June 5.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Sheriff
Moirow has repeatedly
maintained
Tongyai came "highly recommended" lo him for his
undercover position. The sheriff should be subpoenaed lo chriify exactly what Tongyai's background and ciedviitials weie lo seive in such a

Nixon Requests
Student Aid
The following are excerpts of the Scranton Commission Report
on Campus Unrest, concerning the investigation of llobart College
and incidents related to an untrained undercover agent, Thomas
Tongyai. Below are the conclusions and recommendations
of
Joseph Rhodes, Jr., a member of the commission.
The ASP thanks Curtis West, editor of The Herald, llobart
College, Geneva, N. Y. for his aid in obtaining this copy of the
report.
CONCLUSIONS
On the basis of interviews with llobart College
officials, students, townspeople, Ontario County
law enforcement officials and Thomas Tongyai il is
obvious that there does exist a (angled relationship
between all these parties. Iloharl is no exception in
the sense that "town-gown" relations are often
abrasive, in spite of the cultural, educational and
economic advantages it provides the community.
However, the extraordinary behavior of Thomas
Tongyai has caused a fragmenting of major proportions in the relationships between all sectors of the
Geneva and Ontario County populace.
State University
IJOIHTS AS A
[PEACE OFFERING,
graphic by jon guttman
Geneva Police department and llobart College
should establish a permanent liason panel consisting
of policemen, college administrators, students and
community members to discuss the whole spectrum
to 'town-gown" relations and relate their discussions back to their constituency.
SUMMARY
The events al llobarl require a much more
intensive investigation, which llie current extraordinary term of the New York Slate Supreme Court
will hopefully provide. But il is still nol too early lo
conclude (hat a great deal of Ihc problem was
created by the selection of the wrong individual to
"plant" as an undercover narcotics agent. Il must be
emphasized that sludenls, college personnel and law
enforcement officials all cannot recall a single
instance of obstruction in any other arrest on the
Iloharl campus. Unfortunately, this mistake in ihc
selection of an agent has caused increased tension
within the community and a mass of pending
criminal court cases againsl sludenls and counter
soils against police.
As Mi. Byrne suggested in his memorandum of
July 23, Iloharl is a distinctive case where specified
conclusions about the ever,Is transpired are nol
parallel In ihose of Kent, Isia Visia. Jackson and
l.awience. On llie olhei hand llie general
conclusions arc remarkably the same.
Geneva is caught in Ihc Mine conflict llial all of
American society lives will). Communication between all sectors ol ihc communilv is minimal.
unfounded piejudices ale haibored In all parties
and very little attempt is made In change Ihc status
quo. Il is clear that as Genevans plow llieii way
ihiough the rash and impulsive actions set in molioii
in llie past few mouths, the grand jury hearings and
upcoming court bailies will inevitably fiirlhci polarize llie community.
I most sliongly believe that if all panics agreed lo
somehow settle out of conn in ordei lo foi gel ilus
nightmare, and instead devoted all the nine and
money that will be wasted ovei the uexl yeai in
meaningless legal proceedings lo begin building
stronger community relations, Geneva would be a
far better city for all iis citizens. Again, iliis is the
conflict, the fundamental paradox of American
society: the means exisl, the motivation does nol.

Associated Press Writer
Washington (AP) - President Nixon renewed his
request Monday for a revamping and $644-million
expansion of college-student aid so an additional
million low-income young people could receive
federal education subsidies.
Repeating his commitment that "no qualified
student who wants to go to college should be barred
by lack of money," the chief executive told
Congress in a special message:"The program which
I'm again submitting this year would benefit
approximately one million more students than are
currently receiving aid.
"It would assure that federal funds go first, and in
largest amounts, to the neediest students, in order
to place them on an equal tooting with students
from higher-income families."
Students from families making over $15,000 arc
five times more likely to attend college than young
people whose families earn less than $3,000, he said.
Congress killed a virtually identical administration
plan last year, largely because al least .'100,000
middle-income students would have lost eligibility for interest-subsidy loans.
The President's proposals again failed lo meet the
request of higher education organizations for direct
government aid to colleges and universities.
But Nixon did renew his unsuccessful request of
last year for a National Foundation for Higher
Education within the government lo finance education and explore methods for direct federal aid to
institutions. The budget request for this foundation,
however was $100 million compared to $200
million in 1070.
Dr. Sidney P. Morland Jr., commissioner of education, agreed that colleges desperately need direct
aid. Bui the administration decided to make lowincome students the No. 1 priority in pari because
no workable formula Cor institutional aid has been
developed, he said.
Under the President's student-aid-proposal, llie
eligibility maximum would be $10,000 a year
taxable income for a family of four.
Maximum government aid would be $1,100 a year
per student through a mix ol' grants, work-study
payments and subsidized loans, except for sludenls
attending high-cost colleges who could receive an
additional $1,S00 a year in subsidized loans.
In general, lower-income students would receive
mostly grants and work-study payments while high
er-income youngsters would receive subsidized
loans.
The President's proposal would increase government subsidies lo colleges from $970 million this
year to 1.6 billion in fiscal 1072.
J
President Nixon has renewed his request to Congress to revamp the student aid programs so that "no
qualified student who wants to go to college |will I be barred by the lack of money."

purpose and highlights was distributed.
The Co-Chairmen, Dave Selismann and
Nancy Zollers, worked closely with students from State and area colleges, the
Campus Center staff, and the National
Society for Autistic Children.
Puzzling,
disruptive,
heartbreaking.
Those are three terms which describe the
malady known as infantile autism. The
average individual probably knows little of
this condition, or of h o w seriously it
uffccts a child and those around him.
Autistic children are usually born to
highly intelligent parents. In fact, the
children themselves often show flashes of
high intelligence and special abilities. The
tragic thing is that although they look like
normal children, often they exhibit bizarre, disturbing behavior: grimaces,gestures, spinning and twirling motions, flapping of the arms, and temper tantrums.
They appear to be in a world of their own,
isolated and uncommunicative.
The major problem shared by autistic
children is inadequate language development. Those showing retarded speech dev e l o p m e n t are often mistakenly diagnosed
as mentally retarded. Autistic children
w h o d o speak evidence echolalia, in which
phrases and words are repeated without
any meaning to the child. Pronoun reversal
is also c o m m o n .
Meanwhile, while research is beine; cond u c t e d , o t h e r things arc happening. It has
been found that autistic children can often
benefit from special education. The "talking t y p e w r i t e r " has been quite helpful.
Hidden language abilities were discovered
in s o m e of t h e children working with this
device.
This puzzling, disruptive, heartbreaking
disease is being researched, and its mysteries are being discovered. But the research a n d t h e special schools and camps
being set up t o treat autistic children cost
a great deal. T h e National Society works
to raise funds and to educate people about
autism.
This is where T e l e t h o n can make such a
great c o n t r i b u t i o n . Home of the highlights
are a children's hour o n Saturday morning,
e n t e r t a i n m e n t by t h e international students, a Marcus Welby MD film, "Little
Nell", a musical c o m e d y by Steve llirscli,
plus a dating game with professors, a
s l u m p t h e band contest, and a version of
T h e Newlywed Gam,, featuring pinned or
engaged couples.
In t h e weeks before T e l e t h o n there were
"pro-sales" of vest crocheted by mothers
of autistic children, umbrellas, buttons
and shirts imprinted with Telethon ' 7 1 ' s
m o t t o , " L o v e is the only w a y . "
A great dual of effort, tune, and planning

T h e Soviet g o v e r n m e n t has actively s u p p o r t e d t h e growing wave of

T h e b l a t a n t r e m i n d e r of these injustices is evident in t h e recent

Fowler Foulup?
T o t h e Editor,
I was interested in reading t h e a c c o u n t of y o u r
interview with B a r n e t t Fowler as written by Dennis
Whitehead. May I say it was well d o n e , mirticulnrly
in view of t h e a m o u n t of material you had to
handle.
Along with whatever corrections Mr. F o w l e r may
request, m a y I also ask a point bo clarified? At o n e
p o i n t you r e p o r t Mr. Fowler stating be received ;i
letter from m e speaking of t h e damages incurred
this year. T h e r e is s o m e misunderstanding here. Mr.
Fowler was sent a c o p y of a letter I w r o t e in
response l o a request for information from o n e of
his readers, by t h e reader. At n o time in this issue
has there been any direct written c o m m u n i c a t i o n
between Mr. Fowler a n d me.
May I also clarify t h e fact lie reported. While it is
Irue there has been in excess of $ 5 , 0 0 0 damage
d o n e , more t h a n $ 3 , 6 0 0 has been collected from tinoffenders. This is standing policy at this university.
As with any o u t s t a n d i n g fee or fine, failure In pay
results in withheld grades and re-registration petmission. I h o p e that having a n d using all of (he
information in c o n t e x t will give a point of view n o t

T o the University C o m m u n i t y ,
When a system of g o v e r n m e n t , in full knowledge
of its acts, a t t e m p t s l o deprive three million of its
citizens both their h u m a n and their national rights,
it b e c o m e s the d u t y of m a n everywhere
lo protest.
T o d o otherwise is t o abregale the t e n u o u s
c o n n e c t i o n s we all have with h u m a n i t y .
T h e fact t h a t there a r e only sixty synagogues in
the whole of t h e vusl t e r r i t o r y covered by the Soviet
Union provides m u t e t e s t i m o n y t o t h e s y s t e m a t i c
destruction of Soviet J e w r y , by t h e Soviet authorities, This fact h a s been well publicized by the
various campaigns for Soviet J e w r y , y e t most of us

On Simchat T o r a h , t h e J e w s of Russia gather at
their synagogues a n d transform themselves i n t o m e n
and w o m e n unafraid of t h e informers, the agitators,
and the secret police w h o taunt t h e m t h e w h o l e
year around. They sing whatever Hebrew songs and
phrases they k n o w , d a n c e t o whatever tunes they
are uware of, a n d pray with a d e p t h t h a t would
leave most of us a s h a m e d at o u r o w n arrogances.
T h e y proclaim, despite the pressure n o t t o , their
desire t o remain Jews, t o u n i t e with their fellow
J e w s in spirit, a n d t o reaffirm their desire l o go to
Israel.
It is for the p u r p o s e of informing the University
c o m m u n i t y a b o u t the plight of Soviet Jewry t h a t a
group of s t u d e n t s have gathered together and

In the F e b r u a r y 10, 1971 issue of the ASP, a letter
was printed Trom Eugene Myers, which charged
B o o k s t o r e Manager Bob DiNovo with lying a b o u t
book order cuts. Through an FSA employee, t h e
ASP o b t a i n e d a copy of the text hook order card
sent in by the professor in question.
T h e card is dated O c t o b e r MO, 1970, and requests

B o o k s t o r e ordered the hooks and on December H
and December 17 all copies of each book were
received (in plenty of time for the Spring rush).
Mr. Myers a p p a r e n t l y was misinformed when he
was told that twenty-four books had been ordered
by the professor. If s o m e o n e is lying, it's n o t

T o the Editors:
an increase, ihey have a right to know win:
Your editorial s t a t e m e n t , " K e e p the Draft,"
should have Ijeen a b o u t five paragraphs longer, first
because if covers an e x t r e m e l y sensitive issue which
deserves m o r e discussion, and second because it is
full of u n s u p p o r t e d assumptions about the nature of
an American volunteer army.
You slate that it would la1 unwise lo replace t h e
draft with a volunteer army, because such armies
have " t o p p l e d g o v e r n m e n t s " t h r o u g h o u t history,
because they are full of " l i f e r " types, because they
are m o r e costly, and because draftees " k e e p t h e
army h u m a n . "
T o begin with, I see n o advantage in haphazardly
toppling g o v e r n m e n t s ( o u r own among t h e m ) with a
conscripted army rather than effectively toppling
tbeni with a volunteer army.
And then I'm not sit sure that the American
volunteer army is going lo he all that effective. T h e
forces in America n o w working against the whole
concept of military p r e p a r a t i o n are much greater in
q u a n t i t y l i n *' hi quiiNty than in any country
t h r o u g h o u t history; among those forces are the
news media, the peace m o v e m e n t , and the American
notion • h o n o r e d , if not followed - that ultimate
control of the a n n y rests with civilians.
We should n o t , then, be afraid of an army of
"lifers," especially n o t o n e which will cost more t o
the taxpayers. I would challenge, though, t h e
assumption that a system which replaces the Draft
will be m o r e costly; and I would also challenge y o u r
assumption that a volunteer army would be composed of "a patriotic, conservative officer class and
a largely-black p o p u l a t i o n of enlisted m e n . " I can't
reply t o y o u r a r g u m e n t s for these assumptions,
however, because there weren't any,
Finally, t h e notion that a draft system " k e e p s t h e
army h u m a n " is totally inconceivable. Who reaps
the benefits of this " h u m a n i t y ? " T h e Vietnamese
families we reluctantly wipe o u t ? T h e American
families we patriotically split a p a r t ?
We are n o t rationally discussing the nature of t h e
military in American society; behind this discussion
is the ideal - possibly even shared by the President that s o m e d a y there w o n ' t be any need for an army
at all. Ending t h e draft is a flimsy first step, and the
n u m b e r of better m e t h o d s of achieving the ideal is
almost painful to think a b o u t ; b u t at least, for now
let's s t o p looking for " e q u i t a b l e " ways of forcing
mon t o fight overseas and let's start pulling tbeni to
work ending the war at h o m e .

In the late li)50's two young men named Tom
Jones and Harvey Schmidt wrote a piece of entertainment called "The Fantasticks". This play is stil

produced in almost every major city in the world.
"The Fantasticks" was presented at SUNYA in the
spring'of lOfiH. Now, the Music Council is proud to
present (mother Jones-Schmidt musical, "Celebration".
This play is a ritual performance of musical
comedy. The plot concerns the struggle between the
forces of Good and Evil, as represented by Orphan
and Mister Rich, for the possession of Angel, a
young actress. The conflict is narrated by a master
of ceremonies, Pofemkin, and a group of Revelers,
the dancing chorus which assists and comments on
the action.
The play will be presented this Friday and
Saturday, at K:,'t() both nights. A matinee will be
presented Saturday afternoon at 2:00.

The play is directed by Michael Reynolds, who
did such an excelled I job in''The Roar of the
(Ircascpaint-The Smell of the Crowd", "Diary of a
Madman", and "Orestes" last year. From all
accounts, those who have seen dress rehearsals and

Don't let success get you down
Once there was an upwardly mobile man whom I will call Casement R. Glebe (not his real numej. Even as iin undergraduate Mr.
Glehe didn't fumble and dither and grope fur the meaning i»f life like
sume lazy long-haired sloh.s I could name, lie knew exactly what life
was about. Life was working hard so you could get good grades and
graduate with honors and find a swell job and get married and move
to West port and have three children like every other decent American.
And that's precisely what Mr. Glebe did. He graduated magna,
got a swell job in the advertising game, married a girl, whom I will
call Mavis Davis (her real name), who was not only service-oriented
and achievement-prone but also had a real nice build, and they bought
a lovely home in West port with electric baseboard heating and within
three years they had three line sturdy little boys- Flnpsy, Mopsy and
.Seymour.
To his sons, Mr. Glebe was a loving but stern father. lie raised
them to believe in his own guiding values -ambition, self-denial and
hard work —and the boys responded brilliantly. Flnpsy, the oldest,
finished high school as valedictorian and was accepted by Harvard.
Mr. Glebe was, of course, very proud and happy. The following year
Mopsy was also valedictorian and was also accepted by Harvard.
Again Mr. Glebe was proud but, to lie perfectly honest, not quite so
happy, for now he had two sons in Harvard at the same time, which
is something no man in the world can allonl, not even an advertising
man.

Well air, sales were not entirety what the Dullbrau people had
been hoping for, so they insisted on a new slogan. And Mr. Glebe, the
poor devil, his mind unhinged by fiscal problems, made the abovementioned disastrous error. 11 ere was his new slogan:

Well sir, I guess I don't have to tell you what happened! Everybody in the country just stamped and hooted and laughed till they
wept. "Dullbrau better than Miller High Life, the Champagne of
Beers?" they cried, stamping and hooting anil laughing till they wept.
"Mow droll! Why, no beer Is better than Miller! In fact, no beer is remotely an good an Miller!"
Then everybody finished stamping and hooting and laughing till
they wept and went back to drinking Miller High Life and enjoying
every distinctively delicious drop. Dullbrau, of course, went out of
buainoHH. Mr. Glebe, of course, got fired. His sons, of course, had to
quit school.

Dr. Hood:
Advice, But No Pill
by Liz Klvana
An ASP Feature
A "Conception Control Program" is under consideration by the administration and Dr. Janet Hood, director of the infirmary. Organizations such as
PYE and Women's Lib, as well as groups of individual students fee! that a birth
control service should be available on campus. As an appropriate concern of
student health, an on-going program will be organized with an emphasis on
education and consultation. There is debate, however, about whether a
contraceptive distribution service should be established at the infirmary.
Dr. Janet Hood, a strong advocate of the principle of birth control, has been
actively involved with Planned Parenthood since 1911 and pushed for abortion
reform. However, in an interview, she expressed hesitancy about the distribution of the pill on campus. She believes that since SUNYA is not an isolated
campus, it is easy enough for students to obtain desired means of birth control.
The infirmary refers students to Planned Parenthood, Albany Medical Center,
and to off-campus doctors. It attempts to provide as much information and
consultation as possible. Dr. Hood feels that the advantages of convenience do
not outweigh the problems of organizing an on-campus service.
If the service were to be set up at the infirmary,the average girl would have to
pay a much larger fee than if she went to an already established organization.
Planned Parenthood, for example, is supported by charitable contributions;
doctors donate their time, so costs are minimal. The expense and difficulty of
hiring a team of doctors, nurses, and clerks and purchasing equipment for the
infirmary would be burdensome. Students, who pay no health fee now, would
end up shouldering much of the cost.
Dr. Hood strongly believes that this is the wrong time to push for the
distribution of contraceptives on campus. In a few months the New York State

BUCKMINSTER FULLER
Then a horrible thought .struck Mr. Glebe. "Good grief!" he cried
one night to bis wife Mavis (her real name). "Next year Seymour gels
out of high school. If he makes Harvard loo, I am ruined I"
lie ran at once to Seymour's room anil found the industrious lad
doing his homework in modern Sanskrit, urban entropy, ethnic algebra and societal dysfunction.. "Son, have you ever thought of becoming a moral degenerate'.'" said Mr. Glebe to Seymour. "Wouldn't you
like to drop out, maybe have an identity crisis, wear beads, net busted
in Amsterdam, stuff like thai?"
"That's rich, Dad," said Seymour, chuckling, and went on to
graduate as valedictorian and thence oil to Harvard.
Poor Mr. Glebe! So distraught was he with linamial worries that
one day his mind finally buckled and he made a disastrous error. One
of his accounts at the advertising agency was Dtillbrau Hvvr which,
frankly, was just an ordinary, run-of-the-mill kind of beer. Still, Mr.
Glebe had managed to think up this real catchy advertising slogan:

the situtation) that Mr. Wagner's contract could be
renewed for one year as a lecturer. After my
statement on Vice President O'Reilly's recommendation not to rehire Wagner, students assembled on
the podium and in disgust some of the more raucous
bitterly heaved rocks.
After Kent and Jackson State and the "allied"
invasion of Cambodia, the mood of the student
body became more volatile. With large demonstrations, firebombings, and the possibility of policestudent confrontations looming, "I decided to close
the school. There was no dissension among the
vice-presidents on the question of safety. We were
worried about the possibility of loss of life. However, the Central Office (Chancellor's office Thurlow Terrace Complex) said no unit could close.
The Central Office compelled Buffalo State the one
state school that closed to reopen. We couldn't close
the buildings, so we decided upon a flexible
arrangement by letting each class determine the
approach to make up class work; some classes
dismissed, others met, and there were many options
on grading."
Dr. Kuusisto also reflected on the William Kunstler lecture. "Administrative fiat is the power of the
administration to make decision on its own without
consulting other divisions in the unit or the option
of the president to ultimately decide and reach his
own decision when there is endless discussion in the
cabinet." • Instances would be to close during a
snowstorm or call police on campus. Student groups
sponsoring Kunstler's speech demanded the gym.
Other student groups had the gym reserved and
Kunstler could speak there only when those who
had reserved the gym waived their rights. "The
tactics used against Vice President Thome were
symptomatic of the pressure on us last spring." At

An ASP Interview
"College President!! are ulways on a probationary
neriod They can be dropped any time the Board of
Turstees loses faith. The President is the only man
on the staff without tenure."
Dr Allan Kuusisto, former acting president at
SUNVA has been found alive and well. Kuusisto is
now President of Hobart and William Smith Colleges
in Geneva, New York, a man without tenure.
"I didn't put myself up for the job of president at
Albany and I intended to remain as a vice
-president. In November (1968) came the first offer
from Hobart. I decided to take the president's job in
January." This was all before the trouble started in
the spring. Albany had demonstrations and a strike;
Hobart had an undercover agent, Thomas "Tommy
the Traveller" Tongyai.
"My worst nights at Albany were during the Gerry
Wagner episode and Kent State and Cambodian
invasion I operated on a basis of concensus between
the Vice Presidents and myself. I resolved differences between the administration and the Central
Office (Thurlow Terrace Complex) on issues of
budget new positions to be created, special salaries,
key administrative appointments, some personnel,
but not Wagner, that was a local issue. Mrs
Kathleen Kendall, RPA chairman recommended
non-renewal or Gerry Wagner's contract; Dean
Perlmutter issued a statement (based on his study of
Hobart, Herbert Marcuse s p o k e last fall. " T h e r e was
a storm in town as in Albany when Kunstler came.
People were calling on me to cancel the engagement.
Marcuse spoke to a tremendous crowd. In both
instances we came out fortunate; brash acts by
administration, students or police could hav meant
disaster."
"The role of security," at most college campuses,
"has been l.iiditionally that of watchmen for fires
and burgularies, but with the rise in muggings
between lownies and students, and on campus
disruption, there has to be a strengthening or
increase of the security force." Hobart, and Albany
have both hired new heads of security. Hobart, and

memories. The Grand Jury indictments, Tommy the
Traveler, and the trial have had a sobering effect,"
and the fall has been a time of reflections.
Commenting on the trials and student activism
across the country, Kuusisto noted "a pattern to the
indictments. They tend to exonerate the establishemtn and prosecute the leftists."
Definitely relaxed and poised as President of
Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Kuusisto has
"more leeway to determine his own fate. I'm not in
an elaborate bureaucratic agency dependent upon
other offices for guidelines, policy and budgets."
However, in a private school "we are in a financially
more difficult situation. We can't call on the state
treasury like a public institution. We are dependent
upon gifts and tuition fees."
With alumnus gifts and applications down from
previous years because of adverse publicity concerning the activities of an untrained undercover
agent, Thomas Tongai, and his late night raid and
subsequent student disturbances, balancing the
budget at Hobart and many other small private
colleges may consume increasing amounts of the
president's time. Though Hobart was acquitted of
"recklessly tolerating coercive conduct" approximately 300 applications in and an admittance
schedule calling for 500 new students, Hobart
College is not able to call upon the state offers for
support.
Dr. Kuusisto recalled his year as acting presdient
at Albany as a "turbulent'but exciting year. Hobart
is a small place, the people are friendlier, we are like
one big family. Albany is getting too big."

immediately; p u r e , u n a d u l t e r a t e d filth.
As .soon as t h a t libertine delivered his m e t a p h o r a b o u l art, ( and
even life), being a " s c u l p t u r e of feces", I knew that the evening
was going t o be o n e blush after t h e next. And h o w t h e m a n
justified his being o b s c e n e , by saying it was for " d i d a c t i c " e n d s !
Doesn't lie k n o w t h e relationship b e t w e e n m e a n s and ends? His
teachings would only bring dirt, dirt, d i r t !
And what kind of artist uses " w h a t e v e r form is going", as a
vehicle t o c o m m u n i c a t e his message'.' I'm o n l y glad that h e could

good old days of O e d i p u s ?
According t o Mr. Burgess, w o m e n ' s fashions are p o r n o g r a p h i c .
He says that c l o t h e s are an i n s t r u m e n t t o m a k e w o m e n " m o v e "
men. Obviously, t h e speaker would rather have e v e r y o n e move
w i t h o u t clothes. H o w t h e m a n suggests we can reward p o r n o
graphy as an art form, also left a bitter taste in m y m o u t h .
What does Mr. Burgess c h o o s e t o joke a b o u t ? He jests about
how it is n o w p r o p e r t o speak n b o u l ' T e e e s " , because o u r great
technology has m a d e it possible t o recycle waste p r o d u c t s . Is
there n o sacred o b j e c t ?
One of t h e few legitimate things said by o u r novelist speaker,
was a protest he m a d e a b o u t t h e American p r i n t e r of his book
entitled The Clockwork
Qrailgi'. It is u n d e r s t a n d a b l e thai an
a u t h o r would get upset at a p r i n t e r w h o deletes the final c h a p t e r
of his book in o r d e r to make it end on a violent note.
U n f o r t u n a t e l y , Burgess followed this with a complaint about
certain printers m i s t a k e n l y printing " p u b l i c hairs", instead of
