S t u d e n t s at 27 S t a t e University campuses will be given the c h a n c e to decide in special r e f e r e n d u m s this

announced Tuesday.
T h e chancellor said a new policy concerning the fees would fake effect n e x t S e p t e m b e r .

or whether an aboslute majority of the s t u d e n t b o d y would be needed
to bring a b o u t a change from m a n d a t o r y t o voluntary fees.
Instead, Boyer indicated t h a t " c o m m o n and detailed g u i d e l i n e s " for
the referendums would be s u b m i t t e d t o t h e university's Board of

Security Threatens
March on Capitol
by Steve Salant
Security Officers are threatening to march on the Capitol if their request for a "just promotion system"
is not met.
-chow
Security Officers will march on
the Capitol if the Civil Service
Commission doesn't meet their
demands for a "just s y s t e m " of
promoting officers.
R e p r e s e n t a t i v e s of
security
unions from most of the schools
in the S.U.N.Y. system met at a
conference called by Union 82
last weekend in order t o unify the
security officers' gripes against the
new testing policy established by
the Civil Service Commission.
Presently the S.U.N.Y. guards
operate under the title of "Institutional
Safety
Officers."
The
guards have been working for
many years under that title. T h e
Civil Service Commission has now
created a new position called
"Campus Security Officer." This
new position is on a higher grade
(12) than the other position (8).
This means higher pay as well as

CO. Draft Deferment
Clarified by Court
WASHINGTON(AP) - The Supreme Court barred Monday draft
e x e m p t i o n s for men who claim conscientious objections to the
Indochina war but not to all wars.
T h e 8-1 ruling, based on what Justice Thurgood Marshall called a
straightforward reading of Selective Service law, closes the door on
R o m a n Catholics who subscribe to the "just w a r " doctrine as well as
to o t h e r selective objectors.
Marshall said they are subject to the draft, however sincere or
religious they may be. He said Congress intended to e x e m p t only
persons who oppose participating in all war.
Justice William O. Douglas dissented. He said the exemption
provision is unconstitutional in that it discriminates in favor of religious
persons and against humanists and atheists with similar scruples
against war.
T h e decision upheld the conviction of Guy P. Gillette, 26, of
Yonkers, N.Y., a self-described humanist who said he would help
defend the country or fight in a United Nations peace-keeping effort
but n o t in Vietnam.
At the same time, t h e c o u r t ruled against Louis A. Negre, 2.'1, of
Bakersfield, California, a Roman Catholic who was refused a discharge
from the Army. After completing infantry training Negre declared his
participation in the Vietnam war would contradict "all that I had
been taught in my religious training."
Both men said the war is unjust and the court did not question their
sincerity.

This r e p o r t e r talked with one of
the security officers. He said that
for m a n y years he had been faithfully p e r f o r m i n g his services for
the university and now the Civil
Service C o m m i s s i o n has arbitrarily
u p g r a d e d and changed the title of
the j o b h e performs without allowing him to inherit that title
and t h e s u b s e q u e n t upgrading until he takes a n o t h e r exam. Since
t h e t e s t is also t h e test given to
new a p p l i c a n t s , a man applying
m a y pass the test and receive a

e x p e r i e n c e d man (who is supp o s e d l y t h e r e to break the new
officer in) m a y Tail the test and
r e m a i n at grade 8.
A n y action on the part of the
security officers will await the
result of the hearing with the Civil
Service Commission. The official
s t a t e m e n t said that after the hearing the officers will do one of two
things.
1 ) T a k e no action if the Civil
Service Commission grants the request
(upgrading
without an
exam)
2) If the Civil Service Com
mission d o e s n ' t grant the request,

Dear Dr. Fisher:
I am compelled, after reading the interview with
you in the Albany Student Press of Friday, March 5,
to ask: Was Barney Fowler's visit an inspection or a
search in accord with your policies? If it was
neither, why falsely tell the students about your
residence policy to protect their privacy, since you
don't?
Yours truly,
Michael Lamperl
Vice President

Editorial
To the Editor:
Bus To Mohawk
A m o n g the m o r e h u m o r o u s aspects of FSA's
funding of the Mohawk campus is the lack of a bus
t o that c a m p u s . Resident s t u d e n t s , whose meal card
pays for the Mohawk operation and the operation of
Glen House, are the last people to make use of these
places because t h e y lack t r a n s p o r t a t i o n . Few of t h e m
have cars with which to get o f f - c a m p u s . T h u s those
w h o pay the most and have the greatest need are
prevented from enjoying Mohawk.
Can't s o m e o n e , either in FSA or in the University,
find m o n e y to buy or rent a bus somewhere in the
$ 8 9 , 0 0 0 spent yearly on Mohawk and Dippikill?
Dietician
A n o t h e r great step that FSA should take is the
hiring of a dietician to plan the meals. Almost every
high school has them-why shouldn't a major
university? The current policy of making up menus
from the inventory is not only poor from a dietary
s t a n d p o i n t , but also makes for very boring eating if
you're a resident s t u d e n t who depends on the
cafeteria tor every meal.
()( course, the h u m o r in this lies in the fact that no
one in c o m m a n d at the Faculty-Student Association
t h o u g h t of it first. Or no one listened to those who
did! If their job really is serving us, why d o n ' t they
start acting like it?
SUPPORT
RECYCLING
PAPER/
I support the recycling of waste paper, and I'd like you to do
the same. There is currently a bill, number A 4162, in the Ways
and Means Committee of the Assembly, which would require
(he State of New York (a large user of paper) to use only paper
containing at least 20% recycled fibers. I ask you, as my elected
representative, to do all in your power to secure passage of this
bill. Recycling is an important part of the fight to preserve our
environment. It's time the State of New York abandoned its
policy of using only 100% virgin paper.

To the ASP:
The letter which appeared in Friday's (March 5)
ASP could not have been more apt. If I may
elaborate one of the points made in it:
Is it not the height of stupidity, when one has very
few books in one's library, plus a very chaotic
reshelving and locating system, to let books out for
as long as a month? Besides the waste implied in this
practice, (practically no one needs the book that
long) problems of keeping track of books are
created. If there were a faster turnover of books
(say, a week) the library would better be able to tell
where a given book was. Fewer searches would be
called for, freeing library staff for other important
work.
I have attended two other colleges and visited
many mure, and never have I seen a library with so
lew hooks, lending out those few for so long.

E8BIE THE £ £ P

Marcy Goldstein
Every day we are harassed and threatened. Very
few of us realize it, let alone respond. The acts of
violence being performed against us are more subtle
than are others, but they are no less menacing
Few give thought to the vast amount of waste
paper and plastic generated at each meul by almost
all students and staff members. Extra money must
be spent to keep refilling the supply. This has been
supported by statements made by Malcolm Corbiey.
director of Food Service, when discussing the issue
in relation to a broken dishwasher in the Campus
Center as reported in a recent Tower Tribune.
The use of toothpicks in the sandwiches in at least
one quad has not only added material and monetary
waste. On a few occasions it led to the breakdown
of the machine into which organic wastes are
thrown. Also, why have the non-breakable heavy
plastic blue bowls been taken out of service? Their
replacement by the non-reusable plastic cups
doesn't make ecological sense.
We should all follow these simple rules in order to
correct the situation:
1) DO NOT use paper cups or plastic cups at
dinner. Put liquids as well as ice cream in glasses,
and put other foods on your plate. If you must,
finish what already is on it, then get up and get
other foods.
2) DO NOT accept toothpicks in sandwiches at
lunch.
3) DO NOT use excess paper cups. Bring your own
reusable cup or request a glass at lunch.
If there is a large enough outcry, perhaps FSA will
get the message. We must act now if they are to
change their policies for next year. Remember, our
very lives are at stake. It may mean some
inconvenience in terms of time and energy spent in
following the few steps outlined above, but the
benefits to our environment, and ultimately to
ourselves, are great.
Comment
(ALBANY STUDENT PRESS
After having read several obviously biased articles
concerning the rejection of Helen Carlson for tenure
I thought it might be enlightening to present
another viewpoint after having studiedunder her for
a semester.
I found Mrs. Carlson to be at best disinterested
and rather uninspired and at worst negligent and
condescending in her attitude towards students.
Class was far from "an adventure" and Helen
Carlson's efforts to revive education in the 20th
century were not particularly strenuous or
impressive. Exams were given to an unknown grad
student to grade and an assigned paper was
cancelled owing to the fact that Mrs. Carlson could
not possibly find the time to read them.
Furthermore, unlike Mr. Kanarek stated in his
article, no evaluation sheets were handed out in my
class, so I can hardly believe that the responses
received were overwhelmingly favorable. Perhaps
the tenure committees decision concerning Mrs.
Carlson was not entirely without grounds.

Sirs:
The time has come to speak out on an issue which
has been tolerated for too long by an indifferent
academic community. The issue in point is the
profusion of dogs in the area of the academic
podium. Nol only do dogs without masters content
themselves to wander about outside and around the
academic podium, meandering about in an aimless
and distracted way, but (hey wander in and out of
all buildings almost at will.
We believe that ownership of dogs is fine, and that
there are perfectly sound reasons for owning them.
These reasons however apply in a domestic situation, and the academic environment is neither
conducive to a smarter dog nor a smarter student.
There are several sound reasons for the necessity of
ridding our campus of these distractions. In the llrsl
place the very presence of these dogs is disturbing to
many students and faculty The classroom, for
instance, is presumable a selling in which students
and faculty interact. The presence of a dog in the
class, either meandering about or sitting, hem,;
petted by iU master, is surely a distraction. 1:
should ni.I be necessary lor any student or professor
lo put up wilh this type of distraction. A lew weeks
ago a! a lecture in which most of the undersigned
were present, a visitor from Washington DC. wn.
giving a talk when a dog nonchalantly walked in and
up lo and around the podium, much to the dismay
of the speaker, the host, and the audience The
library is a building intended for quiet and undihlurhed study Surely the presence of a slobbering
dog is not in keeping with this purpose and is in fact
unnecessary. The building however with the worst
display of canine conduct is the campus center. Here
one frequently finds ownerless dogs. Needless to say
the presence of dogs in areas where food is served is
unsanitary, and the presence of one or more dogs in
an area where there is food can bring out the worst
in a dog. Last Friday night there was a fight
between two dogs in the lower level of the Campus
Center. Aside from the din and the possibility of
injury to the dogs or students, this tendency of dogs
to fight points to the incongruity of the presence of
dogs in the acudemic community. Presumedly,
people don't fight. We therefore feel that dogs
ought to be left at home and that loose dogs on our
campus should be impounded.

J a m e s Williams discussed this " y o - y o " security-university c o m m u n i t y
relationship in s o m e d e p t h .
DUTIES
A C a m p u s Security Officer's duties as enumeraled
by New York S t a t e Civil Service Department are
duties related to the law enforcement or security
function on a S t a t e University campus. He is given
assignments involving c r o w d control and foot and
m o b i l e patrol in all c a m p u s areas; deals with traffic
and parking o n c a m p u s r o a d w a y s and parking areas;
and investigates c o m p l a i n t s . He may also serve as a
d e s k m a n or d i s p a t c h e r as required.
T h e c a m p u s force also has three supervisory
officers, overseeing the d e p l o y m e n t and operation
of their m e n . T h e r e is also a Campus Security
Parking
It is a p p a r e n t from the d a t a presented t h a t traffic p r o b l e m s are
p e r h a p s t h e greatest a n n o y a n c e o n . c a m p u s . " P a r k i n g is our greatest
p r o b l e m , " a c c o r d i n g t o Williams.
In t h e m o n t h of J a n u a r y alone, 1-156 parking s u m m o n s e s w e r e
issued, and 3 3 vehicles were t o w e d .
Williams n o t e d t h a t t h e r e are c u r r e n t l y a p p r o x i m a t e l y 1,000 m o r e
spaces t h a n t h e r e are cars on c a m p u s . However, he also n o t e d t h a t
1,500 m o r e cars are registered o n c a m p u s this year than t h e r e were
last year. Williams said t h a t several lots, particularly t h o s e across from
Indian Quad are hardly used. H e n o t e d t h a t these lots had b e t t e r
lighting t h a n m o s t , b u t h e also n o t e d t h a t m a n y car o w n e r s are
reluctant t o walk the distance from these lots t o their classes or
dorms.
»
Illegal p a r k m g o n the quadrangles and service roads has been a major
difficulty this year. Williams p o i n t e d t o t h e fact t h a t m o r e special
p e r m i t s had been issued than there were spaces for, and also t h a t
inclement w e a t h e r p r o m p t e d m a n y p e o p l e to park illegally.
T h e major p r o b l e m with cars parked on the service roads and on the
quads is that they present a fire hazard. T h e c a m p u s has a p p r o x i m a t e ly four fires a m o n t h and there have been instances when fire
e q u i p m e n t has n o t been able t o get through the illegally parked cars in
order to reach the fires. While parking on the q u a d s and service road* is
a violation of the state fire laws, the s t a t e has not really c o m p l a i n e d ,
b u t rather it has been the Albany fire chief w h o has gone so far as t o
refuse t o send his men a n d e q u i p m e n t through an overly c r o w d e d
area. T h e p r o b l e m of illegally parked cars not only affects fire
fighting, b u t also a m b u l a n c e rescue o p e r a t i o n s .
When queried! as to possible solutions to the four wheel d i l e m m a ,
Williams gave some intimations of w h a t may be coining in the future.
An e x t r e m e measure might be to ban all resident s t u d e n t s from having
cars. A n o t h e r measure might be to build high rise parking s t r u c t u r e s ,
b u t this leads to the p r o b l e m of obtaining m o n e y for c o n s t r u c t i o n .
A n o t h e r seemingly viable suggestion was to impose charges for
parking. This idea however has met with a negative response from the
CSEA which represents the non-professional staff o n c a m p u s , and
which is the largest union on the c a m p u s .
Williams noted that a lew faculty m e m b e r s have paid their
o u t s t a n d i n g parking fines, but a large n u m b e r have still not been paid.
Notification of faculty w h o owe m o n e y is being dispersed.
Pursuant with recent University rulings, s t u d e n t transcripts a n d
registration can no longer be held due t o unpaid parking fines.
However, the present policy now s t a t e s that if the fine is n o t paid 3 0
days after being received or after its appeal has been denied, parking
privileges will be revoked and the o w n e r ' s car is subject to being
towed.
Williams concluded his discussion of parking problems with a n o t e
that projections for 1971 predict 1,000 m o r e cars than spaces
presently available.
Campus Crime
In the 1970 calendar year there were 1050 reported incidents
defined as crimes under the NYS Penal Law c o m m i t t e d on c a m p u s . Of
this number, m o r e than 800 of the incidents were considered by
Williams to be m i n o r - a l o n g the lines of p e t t y theft and criminal
mischief. Among the major crimes there were reported 8 robberies, 13
assaults, 1 arsons, 65 burgularius and 3 forgeries. Thirty persons were
arrested last year.
However, Williams c o m m e n t e d that the bulk of the security work is
non-criminal. Peace Officers run people to the infirmary and m a k e
service calls for such things as letting people into locked buildings, as
well as issuing traffic s u m m o n s e s - s o m e 12,500 s u m m o n s e s last year.
••uituer
Specialist. T h e role of t h e specialist is basically an
investigatory o n e . A c c o r d i n g t o J a m e s Williams,

increase in the number of crimellomrnitted between 1969 and 1970,
b u t that the per cent figure walmisleading when c o m p a r e d t o t h e

1969 there was no investigating [fficer to pursue reports of criminal
incidents,, and this may havep wssibly been the reason t h a t the
increase in crimes seems lo hav increased. Williams felt that m a n y

nothing would be done.

questioned as to whether the FBI had been called in t o investigate the

Williams replied that the FBI's a t t i t u d e was "if s o m e t h i n g b l o w s u p let

Arrests and Trials
T h e question of where an alleged criminal is tried, either u p t o w n ,
within the university system or d o w n t o w n , in the c i t y ' s civil c o u r t s ,
has been o n e of great concern.
Director Williams staled t h a t " y o u c a n n o t have hard and fast r u l e s , "
for d e t e r m i n i n g where a ease will be heard. It is up to the victim to
decide w h e t h e r or not he wants to press charges internally or
externally. If a victim decides thai he wants to fake a charge
d o w n t o w n he must swear o u t a warrant. Williams m e n t i o n e d that he
had instructed his men lo inform c o m p l a i n a n t s thai they d o have the
o p t i o n to try eases within the university. Only in certain instances, as
homicide, child abuse, rape and arson does the s t a t e ever intervene.

Thome Comments
Reflecting o n the effectiveness of t h e university judicial system
T h o r n e stated, " t h e p r e s e n t s y s t e m is operative b u t n o t c o m p l e t e l y
effective." He cited several reasons for this indicating t h a t m a n y
s t u d e n t s are unfamiliar with the system or have n o faith in it. N o t i n g
that m a n y victims prefer t o take cases d o w n t o w n for civil a c t i o n ,
T h o r n e s t a t e d t h a t m a n y do n o t believe in an internal judicial system
feeling t h a t the c a m p u s s h o u l d n o t be a s a n c t u a r y for those w h o break
the law. Along with this idea, T h o r n e also n o t e d t h a t the university
c a n n o t impose, in m a n y p e o p l e ' s o p i n i o n s , p e n a l t i e s c o m m e n s u r a t e
with t h e crimes c o m m i t t e d . T h o r n e also felt t h a t the security force
had the s a m e reservations a b o u t the university judicial set u p , and
therefore they frequently did n o t refer cases to t h e p r o p e r internal
bodies.
A n o t h e r p r o b l e m faced by the internal system is that there are
c u r r e n t l y no provisions for review of pending civil cases. Many argue
that p e r m i t t i n g university judicial review of a case being reviewed in a
civil c o u r t places thai d o f e n d e n t in d o u b l e j e o p a ' d y . T h o r n e felt t h a t
many of those p r e s e n t at the Judicial Workshop held last m o n i h seem
to indicate t h a t not only did they feel that university judicial review
of a p e n d i n g civil case was legal, but also necessary.

Safety Devices Credited
For Decreasing Fatalities
Governor Rockefeller recently
announced t h a t N e w York S t a t e ' s
annual traffic death toll last year
declined for t h e first time in five
years.
The Commissioner said a preliminary r e p o r t of 1 9 7 0 traffic fatalities compiled by the D e p a r t m e n t
of Motor Vehicles s h o w e d t h a t
3 152 m o t o r i s t s and pedestrians
had been killed, a decline of 48
deaths from t h e record 3 , 2 0 0 reported in 1 9 6 9 .
The report s h o w e d a sharp d r o p
in urban traffic d e a t h s , d o w n 17.3
percent from a year ago, while the
rate of rural traffic d e a t h s remained unchanged. New Y o r k City
reported a slight increase of 3.6
percent.
Motor Vehicle
Commissioner
Vincent
L. Tofany
told
the
Governor the overall i m p r o v e m e n t
resulted from m a n y factors, including the increased use of automotive safety e q u i p m e n t , which
"reflect the growing impact of the
pioneering traffic safety programs
introduced by you and approved
by the Legislature."
T h e area b r e a k d o w n for the
entire year shows 1,821 rural fatalities, the same total r e p o r t e d
for 1 9 6 9 ; 387 urban deaths, or 81
less; and 94H New York City
deaths, an increase of 3 3 . Pedestrian fatalities totaled 1,028, an
increase of 49.
Previously, the State's annual
traffic death toll had climbed each
year since 1965, when a one-year
decrease was reported.

"Food for Thought"
New legislation would make prescription drug prices competitive.
E@ck@£@lJsir p Ds3m@arait§ W i i w

Governor Rockefeller asked the legislature last
week to require grocers Lo list the price per unit of
food and other c o n s u m e r p r o d u c t s .
" T o d a y , the variety of sizes in boxes, cans and
bottles makes it almost impossible for the c o n s u m e r
to d e t e r m i n e the price per unit of a p r o d u c t without
it slide r u l e , " Rockefeller said in a special message to
the legislature.
"But this price information is indispensable if the
consumer is to make intelligent c o m p a r i s o n s between p r o d u c t s , brands and package sizes. Unit
pricing will help the c o n s u m e r make this c o m p a r i s o n
readily.
The proposal was contained in a wide-ranging
package of c o n s u m e r legislation. O t h e r measures
would:
- Protect c o n s u m e r s against abuses in credit transactions.
-Require that labels on drug containers disclose
the date the drug is no longer sale or effective.
- Enable the c o n s u m e r to obtain from his pharmacisl a less expenive generic or o t h e r brand n a m e
equivalent drug for the drug originally prescribed.
- Remove the ban against price advertising of
prescription drugs by pharmacists.
—Establish a drug and t o x i c substance safety
center in the S t a t e Health D e p a r t m e n t
Authorize, the state agriculaturc c o m m i s s i o n e r Lo
quarantine animals having or suspected of having
unsafe a c c u m u l a t i o n s of biological, pesticide or
chemical residues in their tissues.
T h e changes in c o n s u m e r credit laws have been
sought for years by consumerism advocates. They
arc, potentially the mosL far-reaching proposals in
Rockefeller's package.
Among o t h e r things, the governor asked the
legislature lo prohibit a r e t a i l e r finance c o m p a n y
from repossessing any article o t h e r than the article
on which the c o n s u m e r has actually defaulted in his
payments.
Currently, for e x a m p l e , s o m e retailers of tires and
seal covers lake a lien or the b u y e r ' s a u t o m o b i l e . If
the buyer defaults on any installment, the seller
may reposses the car.
For example, now a c o m p a n y entering a h o m e to
repossess a television set because of p a y m e n t default
also could take the refrigerator it had sold t o t h e
consumer earlier even though the refrigerator may
he paid for.
Oilier c o n s u m e r credit measures would, a m o n g
other things:
—Prohibit a retailer or finance c o m p a n y from
charging m o r e interest than actually accrued when a
b u y e r defaults o n an installment purchase.
—Limit the place of trial in lawsuits arising o u t of
c o n s u m e r transactions to the c o u n t y where the
c o n s u m e r resides or where the transaction took
place. Presently, a finance c o m p a n y on Long Island
can ask t h a t a trial be c o n d u c t e d there, though the
c o u r t action s t e m m e d form a purchase m a d e in
Westchester C o u n t y .
—Increase the a m o u n t of transactions t h a t can be
h a n d l e d by small claims c o u r t s from $ 3 0 0 to $ 5 0 0 .
Democrats Respond
Senate Minority Leader Joseph Zaretski and Assembly Minority Leader Stanley- Steingut res p o n d e d S a t u r d a y t o Rockefeller's proposals with a
Democratic legislative package designed to protect
every c o n s u m e r in the state.
" W e were n o t surprised t o n o t e the Governor's
p r o p o s e d c o n s u m e r p r o t e c t i o n program reflects
c o n c e p t s and legislation we have long espoused,
including b o t h u n i t pricing and the purchase of
drugs by their generic rather t h a n t h e i r t r a d e .

It appears t o be highly probable that t h e average student views the Faculty Student
Association as a rather incomprehensible conglomerate that takes meal contract m o n e y
and transforms it into an unending procession o f foul tasting excuses for breakfast,
lunch, and dinner. While it is true that unappetizing meals have caused understandable
dissent, it is also true that a look at the structure and function o f PSA can help s t u d e n t s
realize that more than grunts and groans at the table are needed t o achieve a solution.
T h e present version o f t h e Faculty Student Association o f S U N Y A is t h e result o f
action taken by the central administration of t h e state school s y s t e m in 1 9 6 6 . A t t h a i
time the Chancellor's Office agreed t h a t t h e 24 n o n p r o f i t , tax e x e m p t F S A s in N e w
York should b e independently c o n t r a c t e d o n a t w o year basis t o provide food, b o o k s ,
vending machines, and o t h e r o p t i o n a l items for t h e convenience of pupils a n d
instructors. The A l b a n y F S A is n o w engaged in its third c o n t r a c t , t e r m i n a t i n g o n J u n e

Under this a g r e e m e n t , t h e F o o d Service, h e a d e d b y M a l c o l m C o r b e y , o p e r a t e s four
cafeterias u p t o w n and t w o d o w n t o w n , p l u s t h e P a t r o o n R o o m , t w o snack bars, a n d a
t y p e of catering service for special events. T o t a l i n c o m e from these was $ 2 1 0 , 8 0 0 last
year. The b o o k s t o r e , u n d e r t h e direction of B o b D i N o v o , provides the university with
t e x t b o o k s and miscellaneous sundries. Present plans call l o r the c o m p u t e r i z a t i o n of t h e
store, a move which will hopefully c u t d o w n o n its $ 7 4 , 5 0 0 deficit. T h e vending
m a c h i n e s are scattered t h r o u g h o u t t h e c a m p u s b y virtue of a r r a n g e m e n t s with local
distributors, adding $ 3 4 , 6 0 0 t o F S A ' s annual i n c o m e .

In addition t o these services, which are m a n d a t o r y u n d e r the organization's c o n t r a c t s ,
F S A also administers several o p t i o n a l o p e r a t i o n s . T h e Barber S h o p , Beauty Parlor, and

O n e decision that is in n o way c o n n e c t e d with F S A involves t h e m a t t e r of w h a t Mr.

T h e Assembly's D e m o c r a t i c m i n o r i t y p r o p o s e d Wednesday t o c u t
spending o n t h e S t a t e University through a $ 2 5 million slash in
o p e r a t i n g funds and a $ 1 2 million r e d u c t i o n in s u p p o r t of local
c o m m u n i t y colleges.
A key part of t h e proposal is t o have faculty m e m b e r s a t t h e
stale-operated c a m p u s e s teach larger n u m b e r s of s t u d e n t s .
T h e basic premise behind t h e second part of the e c o n o m y plan is
t h a t local s p o n s o r s of c o m m u n i t y colleges are reducing their commitm e n t s , meaning the stale can lower its share of the over-all cost.
T h e change in faculty-student ratios emerged as t h e m o s t salient
feature of t h e D e m o c r a t i c r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s for reducing spending o n
the SUNY s y s t e m .
In a detailed b r e a k d o w n , it w as p r o p o s e d t o a c c o m m o d a t e
s t u d e n t e n r o l l m e n t increases w i t h o u t a n y increase in t h e size of t h e
teaching staff, u p to a change of 2.0 c o m p a r e d with t h e ratio for
1970-1971.
T h e D e m o c r a t s went o n t o say t h a t , if t h e ratio of s t u d e n t s to
faculty was changed by 2.0 in each institution, t h e state could save
$ 1 2 million in t h e new fiscal year.
T h e y cited, for e x a m p l e , student-faculty ratios of 13.6 al t h e four
university c e n t e r s a n d 15.3 at Ihe \'.i colleges of arts a n d sciences.
These would go t o 15.6 and 17..'! respectively.
Staff aides t o t h e Democratic lawmakers m a i n t a i n e d I hat t h e
higher figures still c o m p a r e favorably witli t h e ratios at public
university s y s t e m s in such o t h e r states as California and Michigan.
Republican Gov. Rockefeller had p r o p o s e d in his budgel " l e a n e r "
student-faculty ratios. But Rockefeller also r e c o m m e n d e d hiring 150
m o r e faculty m e m b e r s l o m e e t projected e n r o l l m e n t increases in
1971 72. T h e D e m o c r a t s would eliminate these new jobs.
In o t h e r areas, t h e D e m o c r a t s r e c o m m e n d e d c u t b a c k s in future
c o n s t r u c t i o n p r o g r a m s that d o n o t involve hard cash in the next state
budget. What they are c o n t e m p l a t i n g is t o head off a u t h o r i z a t i o n s for
new buildings o n which c o n s t r u c t i o n has n o t y e t begun.
Republican legislators also a r e considering c u t s in the operating
budget Rockefeller p r o p o s e d for t h e university system. Present
indications are that these will a m o u n t t o a b o u t $ 2 0 million.
T h e university a d m i n i s t r a t i o n originally asked for 2 , 8 0 0 new
positions, including administrative and m a i n t e n a n c e personnel as well
as faculty.
Rockefeller t r i m m e d this l o 8 9 6 . T h e Republican m e m b e r s of the
Assembly Ways and Means C o m m i t t e e r e c o m m e n d e d elimination of
62-1 of these positions.
If the S t a t e Legislature gets its w a y , there will b e even more students per teacher thantliere are n o w .

It can b e seen that, in general, t h e F a c u l t y - S t u d e n t Association is simply an a g e n t
furnishing services t o t h e university c o m m u n i t y . It is a difficult o r g a n i z a t i o n t o

T h e problems confronting t h e organization are q u i t e c o m p l e x , especially since s u r p l u s
monies often go t o causes far removed from FSA, such as t h e Mohawk C a m p u s . O t h e r
problems include t r o u b l e hiring highly qualified personnel d u e t o relatively low wage
scales, continually riding costs, and t h e u n c o o p e r a t i v e spirit of m a n y m a n u f a c t u r e r s .
While it is e x t r e m e l y difficult t o suggest solutions t o the c o m p a n y ' s d r a w b a c k s , it m u s t
be agreed that a realistic, objective a p p r o a c h t o t h e c o m p o s i t i o n and function of t h e
FSA is a vital first step in arriving at answers.
