STONY BROOK, N.Y. (CPS)~
Imagine, there are really people
who think they can actually reorder one of the 50 states in order
to set up a responsive, free society. The meeting for recruits for
the Wyoming Project was attended by about 20 people, ranging from leaders of the Free Community to Gay Lib. And they
were ready to go. Right now.
Some had come expecting to be
presented with the grand plans of
"How to Restructure Society."
Instead, a small prospectus was
presented which sounded more
like "Saile the Mayflowere to the
New Lando and Survive," than a
revolutionary, Utopian, immediate

Rocky's Budget May Be Cut
Up to $700 Million
Welfare and Education Hurt
Republicans controlling the legislature's fixcal
committees were reported Sunday to have reached
tentative agreement on economy cuts ranging between $600 million and $700 million in Gov.
Rockefeller's proposed budget.
The accord represents a blending of approaches
developed independently by the Senate Finance
Committee and Assembly Ways and Means Committee. They merged their findings in a series of
conferences that extended into the weekend.
Their recommendations now will be presented to
closed meetings of the Republican majority blocs of
the Senate and Assembly, with a view toward
obtaining a final agreement by the end of this week.
Since their main object is to cut back the tax
increases that Gov. Rockefeller is seeking, the
legislators also must make decisions on which levies
can and should be deleted or revised downward.
It was reported reliably last week that. Rockefeller,
Senate Majority Leader Earl W. Brydges and Assembly Speaker Perry B. Duryea had agreed to abandon
the proposed increase in motor-vehicle registration
charges.
Tentative
Approval
Rockefeller also is willing to back off on his state
income tax-plan—he had recommended a 10 percent
surcharge, plus higher brackets for upper-income
tax-payers and elimination of the $12.50 cash
credits that all tax-payers are accorded. Other
budget-cutters, however, would prefer to delete the
one-cent increase in the sales tax.
The immediate goal of the GOP legislative leadership is to finish the budget-trimming exercise this
week, so that their amended version of the voluminous $8.'15-billion spending plan can be reprinted
over next weekend. That would make it ready for
passage by the April 1 start of the state's new fiscal
year.
Both Brydges and Duryea scheduled Monday
conferences of their majority members to begin the
process of hammering out a final agreement.
The sources said the tentative plan is to cut $200
million from budget requests for operation of the
state government itself, to slice slightly over $300
million from stale-aid spending—mostly from education and welfare programs- and about $100 million
from funds earmarked tor state construction projects.
A Council-wide questioning of Mike Glass, Chairman of University
Concert Board, reflected one of the major areas of concern as Central
Council members met last Thursday. The Concert Board's financial
position and its method of talent selection were questioned. Glass,
anticipating the barrage of queries, came well armed with printed
financial reports, and managed to satisfy the inquiring Council
members. Included in his presentation were an explanation of the
short-term nature of negotiation time with performers, the limitations
caused by the 3,000 person capacity gym, and the problems incurred
with suggesLed joint concert efforts with other schools.
The second major piece of business was the motion proposed by
Steve Villano, RA in Melville-Steinmetz. Villano's motion dealt with
the current washing machine controversy in which residents of
Melville-Steinmetz have been accused of tampering with their machines, and have consequently been denied proper laundry service by
the machine owners. Villano, as representative of an adamant State
Quad group, was seeking a Council decision which would strongly
recommend that FSA, as a private corporation, take action against B
& M Distributors, the company from whom University machines are
leased. After a thorough account of the actual events which led to
this situation was described, Dick Wesley made a proposal which in
short provided for immediate FSA action against B & M. This motion
further stipulated that Mr. Robert Cooley of FSA respond by March
22, 1971. Following discussion, the motion was overwhelmingly
passed.
Treatment of Old Business was commenced with a request by Ken
Stokem for a $500 appropriation to Community Program Commission. The purpose of these funds was to bring speakers Dave Dellinger,
Abbey Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, and Rennie Davis to Albany. The
motion was hesitantly passed.
Next discussed was the question of holding a referendum on student
tax policy at specified yearly intervals. Dave Neufeld volunteered a
report by the Chancellor stating tht a referendum this year was a
must. The major point of contention seemed to be how often the
referendum should take place in the future. Arguments centered
about the question of true student voice versus budgetary process
stability and expedience. Further discussion on the bill was deferred
to the April 1 meeting pending the Chancellor's final report.
At this point, Jeff Wasserman broached the question of considering
possible alternatives to the newly accepted Student Association
constitution. Discussion on this matter led to a motion by Mike
Lampert, Vice-President of Student Association, suggesting that this
problem be referred to a committee chaired by Wasserman. An
apparent chain of misunderstandings ensued which resulted in the
resignation of Jeff Wasserman.
The feeling that the entire scene was most unfortunate appeared to
be consensual. This attitude was translated into a Lampert motion
whereby the Council would refuse to accept Washerman's resignation.
This motion was easily passed, and discussion on the constitution
problem was postponed until next meeting at which more time will be
afforded to it.
Dave Peck then inserted a motion asking Council to support an
interdisciplinary major program. An amended version of the original
proposal was passed after short deliberation.

The curtain goes up today on "Live-In 1971-72" as it begins a traditional spring engagement on the
SUNY circuit. Opening off-Broadway, way off Broadway, in Albany, this year's production, directed by
Charles Fisher, promises to house a cast of thousands. Making their premiere appearances are several
special programs including one entitled "Four Plus Two," not to be mistaken for "Three in the Attic."
This one will be rated M, for mature audiences only.
The ASP, realizing that many students are not familiar with the script, now presents this sneak preview.
This is only meant to be a brief critique. For complete details see the Housing Brochure, available in all
residence halls and the main box office, 103 Fulton Hall, State Quadrangle, better known as the Housing
Office.
The scene opens with a panoramic shot of the entire campus. You may have already guessed that this is
shown in black and white, what else? To familiarize each student with what the individual quads have to
offer, we zoom in, first to Dutch Quad.
Schuyler Hall will house men and women under the same roof in an alternate suite setup. There will be
no freshmen, no priorities according to class, and students returning to live in Schuyler will not have
priority.
The Spanish section of Schuyler will also be coeducational. A basic interest and knowledge in Espanol.
to be determined in interviews by a committee of students presently living in the dorm,is required.Panning
over to Colonial Quad, contrary to previous publicity, Paine Hall will continue to be a female
residence facility. Both Paine and Livingston Tower applied to the Committee on Student Residences to
become coed. As more interaction is possible in low rises, Paine was the first selection. However, the
women residing there now, upon learning they had no priority to return, passed up the chance.
The action now moves up to the top four floors (18-21) of Livingston
Tower, which will house men and women in alternate suites. Standard
priorities will prevail, but to give all students an equal chance of being
included, returning residents to the tower wilt not have priority in the
coed sections.
Looking over at State Quad, three hundred spaces, making up the
top fourteen floors of Eastman Tower will be available for coed
residence. Present occupants have no priority. Should they be unable
to gain entrance because of low priority into coed Eastman Tower,
they will be given a returning-to-building priority in the first available
female hall of their choice.
The remaining one hundred spaces in the tower are being held for
male and female transfers and freshmen. The floors will be staggered
in two-floor units of males and females.
Melville-Steinmetz will continue to be a coeducation experience
housing male and female participants in alternate suites. Priority here
is senior, sophomore, junior.
Meanwhile, on the muddy terrain of Indian Quad, Oneida and
Onondaga Halls will house a special program entitled "Four Plus
Two." In concept, each resident in these halls will share with staff and
fellow residents some part of the responsibility for the functioning of
this community experience. Preferences will be given first to
sophomores, then juniors, then seniors for this coed arrangement of
alternating floors.
Adirondack and Tuscarora Halls have been selected to house
students interested in studies related to the environment. Incidentally,
Mohawk Tower will not be ready for September occupancy, but the
dining hall is expected to be completed.
Not to overlook Alumni Quad, Waterbury, Alden and Sayles Halls
all will remain coed by floors.
The following involve some audience participation. Act I is to obtain
an application for on-carnpus housing, available in all residence halls.
Students currently living off-campus, who wish to apply, may pick up
an application in the Housing Office.
Act II consists of completing the application and returning it plus a
$25 deposit to the State Quad Flagroom on the days April 12 through
1 6. Students planning to live together in a room or suite must turn in
their completed contract cards together. No application will be
accepted unless all students in the group are present to have their
Food Service picture taken.
Following a short intermission, students will be notified of hall
assignments during the week of April 26-30. A general informational
meeting will be held in each residence hall between May 3-7 to select
rooms.
There are 3,1 U choice locations available! for continuing undergraduate i students. Continuing graduate studetns will have 270
available spaces. Presently, il does not appear that increased occupancy will be necessaryFlemember to check the Housing Brochure for complete listings and
detailed information on all of the above procedures.

by Peter Cowen
AstociatedPrem
Writer,
The prosecution called a surprise witness to start
its case against Black Panther national Chairman
Bobby G. Seale and Ericka Huggins today.
State's Attorney Arnold Markle called Margaret
Hudgins, a one-time defendant in the Panther
slaying case who testified for the defense in an earlier
trial.
Catherine Roraback, attorney for Mrs. Huggins,
called the action "a grandstand play by Mr. Markle
to start this trial off with a lot of headlines." She
said Mrs. Hudgins came to the courthouse as a
spectator and was subpoenaed a half hour before
the start of the trial.
Seale and Mrs. Huggins face capital charges in
connection with the May 1969 slaying of Alex
Rackley, another Panther. Mrs. Hudgins faced similar charges in the Rackley slaying, but she later was
allowed to plead guilty to the lesser charge of
aggravated assault. Her sentence was limited to time
already served.
She was a defense witness in the only other trial
which has been held in the Rackley slaying, that of
Lonnie Lucas.
When Mrs. Hudgins took the witness stand,
Judge Harold M. Mulvey asked her if she would
answer questions. She replied that she would plead
the Fifth Amendment. Markle then offered her
immunity from further prosecution, but the judge
did not act immediately on the proposal.
Mulvey granted a recess until afternoon to allow
Mrs. Hudgins to consult with an attorney.
Seale and Mrs. Huggins are charged with kidnaping resulting in death and aiding and abetting
muder—offenses that carry the death penalty—plus
conspiracy to kidnap and to murder. Mrs. Huggins
also is charged with binding with criminal intent.

ALBANY AIRPORT EXPANDING
Over the objections of local Colonie county legislators, the Albany
County Legislature approved a 1500 foot extension of the east-west
runway Friday. This measure was coupled with a request for $6.2
million in federal aid. The county's share would be $780,000. The
measure passed 26-8.
The main grounds of the objections was that this could be part of a
plan to turn Albany Airport into a jet port and still further expansion
could result, bringing in larger, noisier aircraft more frequently.
MOHAWK STRIKE ENDS
The 128-day-old strike of Utica-based Mohawk Airline has been
settled! The Airline Pilot's Association (ALPA) and the carrier agreed
that issues still unsettled on March 25 would be submitted to binding
arbitration.
The first flights are expected on April 1'I and full service will
resume by mid-May. But about 14 per cent of the pre-strike flights are
permanently cancelled by the airline.
The company recently announced that it had again gone into the
red last year. The amount of the deficit, about $11 million, was twice
the previous year's loss. Much of the increased loss was blamed on the
crippling strike, which began in mid-November.

GRAND JURIES PROBE MALL
A four-month-old Albany Grand Jury ended its term this week
without handing in any official report about the South Mall. There
were widespread reports the panel was investigating alleged loansharking, price padding, missing materials and other infractions.
Two other panels are also investigating the Mall. Grand juries in
Auburn and Utica are presently probing the Mall and may be using
information passed on from the Albany panel.
Two tin and steel can recycling centers have opened in the Albany
area. Located at 10 Erie Boulevard in Albany and 6 Simmons Lane in
Menands, the centers are part of a national effort by four can
manufacturers to help the environment.
The Albany depository will be open round-the-clock; the Menands
plant ,8 to 5 every day. All size cans are accepted. Before depositing
the cans, they must be carefully washed to avoid attracting rodents,
and compacted. The easiest method of compacting is by simply
stepping on them.
The centers are run for ecological reasons only, and do not make a
profit. Scrap cans are worth $10 a ton (about 25-30 thousand cans).
The can companies involved are Continental Can Co., National Can
Co., American Can Co., and the Heekin Can Co. The recycling project
is three months old nationally.

SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION
Mayor Corning filed suit with the State Supreme court this week
against the Albany County Board of Elections to change the date of
the elected school board from this November to May, 1972.The
propostion for the elected school board was passed by a 2 to 1 margin
last November.
Among the reasons Mayor Corning gave was that the small number
of signatures needed on the nominating petition might result in an
exceedingly large number of nominations, causing a bottleneck at the
general electionHe also said the declining population of the city (the
1970 census shows it dipped below the 125,000 level of a major city)
changed the laws affecting the city and it was now mandatory for an
elected school board and the provisions of the recently enacted laws
didn't apply.
Republican State Senator Langley has introduced legislation to
keep Albany in the category of a major city (over 125,000) despite
census figures, until June 30, 1972. If his legislation passes, the school
board election will be held this November as originally proposed,
unless Coming's suit wins.
Mayor Corning, a Democrat, originally vigorously opposed the
Republican- sponsored elected school board. He held the power of
appointment of the present three-man board. If Coming's suit
succeeds and Langley's extension fails, the election will be held in
May, 1973.

Rocky's Car Insurance Bill
Could Cut Rates 33-56%
Action is being taken on the
state level to initiate no-fault
automobile insurance programs.
This new type of insurance coveraye has the twin advantages of
reducing annual premiums and
providing faster and more equitable payments.
Four main plans are before the
consideration of the legislature.
The Stewart plan pushed by
Governor Rockefeller is the most
open-ended plan. Under its provisions the victims in an auto
accident would be compensated
by the auto owner's own insurance company and the fault aspect of the accident would be
irrelevant, except when one of the
drivers involved is under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other
anti-social factors.
Robert J. Bertrand, Deputy
State Insurance Superintendent,
estimates that under an enacted
Stewart Plan, the average owner's
insurance cost would decrease
33% with respect to the compulsory coverages and a 56% cost
decline for the typical insurance
package that includes non-mandated coverage.
The basic premise of how nofault insurance works is that each
individual would be paid for all
their net economic losses, including medical and rehabilitative expenses, lost income and other
related expenses, out of their driver's or car owner's insurance
company, except for unusual circumstances.
Benefits which would result
from implementation of the plan
are:
It would compensate the victim 100% for his losses immediately. Under the present system,
the seriously injured are compensated for less than 25% of their
full economic losses. This happens
because cases drag on and on
(average victim waits 15 months
for payments) and many, in desperation, settle for less than they
are entitled to, out of court. Fully
45% of the seriously injured must
now lower their standard of living
while settlement cases drag on.
The delay, uncertainty and expense of proving fault would be
eliminated. Now, unless a victim
can prove the complete fault of
the other driver involved, he
stands to lose. If the driver mainly
at fault can prove some small
degree of fault on the part of the
other driver, the settlement can be
frustrated.
The civil courts would be freed
of roughly half the case burden
that now clogs them. The delays
in our present court system are
now viewed as a national shame
and scandal.
The design of safer cars would
be encouraged since those driving
unsafe cars could face higher insurance costs.
It would permit the consumer
to cover his special insurance
needs beyond the net economic
loss coverage.
Primary opposition to the
Rockefeller-backed Stewart plan
comes from lawyers and insurance
men.
Statistics of 1968 show in liability cases in New York State,
lawyers received one billion dollars. The attorneys for those people suing—the plaintiffs—collected
eight hundred million dollars in
fees. This equals about 35% of the
actual amount awarded to the
accident victims.
At present about 56 cents of
every insurance dollar goes for
overhead and only 44 cents of
each dollar paid ever reaches accident victims for all losses.
The New York State Bar Association opposes the Stewart Bill.
It supports no-fault insurance in
general with the stipulation that
accident victims still have the opportunity to seek relief in court.
The bar-supported plan is
sponsored by Senator Hughes and
Assemblyman Crawford. Under
provisions of this plan, victims
could receive up to $2,000 in
direct payments from their own
insurance company, exclusive of

to
medical bills. The right to court
procedure to determine fault will
still remain. The advantages of
immediate payment and right to
court trial for additional compensation from future pain and suffering, would both exist.
A third measure is sponsored
by Senator Gordon. The measure
is aimed at the claims of $400 or
less in actual medical expenditures. About 75% of all automobile bodily injury claims
amount to less than this figure.
For amounts under $400, the
no-fault system would be used.
The insured would be reimbursed
under the present system for
amounts over $400. In addition,
the injured person could sue for
"pain and suffering" and be compensated for up to $2,000.
Another measure is sponsored
by Assemblyman Lerner of
Queens and follows the other bills
in general in regard to no-fault
insurance. It retains a cause of
action for pain and suffering. The
bill also changes the types of
coverage different groups of people need.

the competition, a beginner
group, two intermediate duets,
and an advanced solo. The beginners took first place against four
o t h e r r o u t i n e s with "Alice
Through the Looking Glass."
Members of the team were Peggy
Dalheim, Denny Goldberg, Judy
Johnson, Carol Mann (alternate),
Gloria Neward, Margaret Reiley,
Bev Schmidt, and Irene Skidmore.
The duets ranked sixth and
ninth of the 13 routines entered
in this category. Sixth place
Sandy Graff and Meg Hahneswam
in "Farewell at the Grey Havens,"
and Jackie Levy and Debbie
Swalm placed ninth in "Elves
Moonlight Potion."
Freshman Maureen Melling, in
"Bazaar," placed third in advanced solo competition against
11 other swimmers.
This is the second year the
Albany Club has participated in
the stunt competition. At last
year's meet, also held here, the
SUNYA team ranked sixth out of
I 1 schools, with a first place
beginner team, plus third and
fourth place intermediate duets.
Albany coach Pat Rogers compared the two years of competition, noting that "the level of skill
ability was much better overall
than last year, especially in the
advanced solo category. Also, the
men who participated added a
new dimension to the competition; it was no longer just a girl's
sport."
Next year, the team will compete again in both stunt and routine competition, at Brandeis and
Stonybrook respectively. In addition, they plan to put on a water
show.

SUNY Applications
Increase 13%
by Bruce B. Detlefsen
AP Education Writer
State University Chancellor Ernest L. Boyer reported Tuesday a 13
percent jump so far this year in the number of applicants for
admission to 49 SUNY campuses.
Figures given by the chancellor show there now are 123,000
prospective students competing for 60,000 freshman places and
12,000 sophomore, junior and senior transfer openings. This compares
with 108,500 at this time in 1970.
Boyer's report relates to 27 state-operated campuses and 22 locally
sponsored community colleges within the SUNY system that participate in a uniform admissions program. The entire system is made up
of 70 institutions.
Boyer also said that, by the time the admissions year is concluded,
the total number of applicants for the 49 schools is expected to reach
between 140,000 and 160,000. The figure for last year was 135,000.
A university spokesman, in response to an inquiry, said the 123,000
applicants have submitted 216,049 applications lo SUNY branches.
The breakdown of applications was given as: 48,278 for the four
university centers; 90,189 for the four-year colleges; 28,019 for the
six agricultural and technical colleges; and 49,068 for the community
colleges that are in the uniform admissions program.
The university also has a central referral service through which
applicants not admitted to the college of their choice can have their
applications sent to other SUNY institutions and a small group of
private colleges that may have vacancies.
Last year, there was another admissions "crunch" that kept a large
number of high school graduates out of their first choice within the
system.
In many cases, these candidates took an alternative, fastgrowing
route known as "two-plus-two."
That is, after failing to gain admission to a four-year college, they
went to a two-year SUNY institution with the understanding that
they would be able to transfer later to one of the colleges of arts and
sciences or university centers.
Individual units within the system have a great deal of autonomy in

been for some candidates to be considered on the basis of special
criteria.
That is, a small portion of the openings may be set aside for applicants with an exceptional interest in some specific course
offerings. In addition, SUNY branches accept hundreds of applicants
from so-called disadvantaged areas who may not meet usual entrance
requirements.
SA Constitution Passes
Lampert Clarifies Results
Senate Rejects
ROTC Credit
by Bob Kanarek
The University Senate has denied credit for ROTC courses. Since
ROTC is not offered al SUNYA, the original proposal to grant ROTC
credit was directed towards transfer students who have completed
ROTC at other schools prior to enrollment at SUNYA. Discussion of
the proposal centered around the academic virtues of ROTC in regards
to course content, the qualifications of instructors, and the objectives
of the courses. The proposal was defeated on Monday by u vote of
23-27-1, reconfirming the University's policy towards ROTC

Despite rumors to the contrary,
and a five column headline in the
ASP, the new S.A. constitution
has actually passed. A combination of factors showed that the
necessary 20% of the electorate
has voted in the referendum,
contrary to earlier reports.
According to Mike Lampert,
Vice President of Student Association, these were the reasons for
the change:
"We tried, for 3 days before the
results were in, to get the exact
figure (of undergraduate students
eligible to vote) from the Office
of Institutional Research. All we
could get was a total. This, of
course was different from two
figures contained in the Middle
States Self-Study, prepared for
the accreditation visit last February, which didn't agree with
each other, anyway. All of these
averaged around 8900, and at that
time the vote count was only
1562, which was far less than the
20% needed.
"Monday morning we found out
The Senate passed a hill that
established guidelines for Outstanding Teacher Awards. As
many as two awards a year may
he presented. Eueh award will be
$2,000 if the necessary funds are
available.
A resolution was passed in re*

that the 8900 figure included students classified as year '15.'These
people are basically businessman
and housewives taking courses at
night. As such, they are not really
members of S.A. If you subtract
these 900 'undergraduates' from
the total, you get about 8000
undergraduates as the true membership of Student Association.
The exact total is somewhat tower, and by our count twenty
percent would be 1579."
Lampert went on to explain the
change in the ballot count. "The
By Laws of S.A. mandate a double count, which was not completed before Tuesday. The results,
counted by a different group of
people, came out to 1604. The
change was so great that we
counted again, and still came out
with 1604 - 124 0 in favor, 230
opposed, and 134 abstentions.
Since the turnout was higher than
we originally thought, and the
20% figure lower, we saw that we
did indeed have the necessary
voles to pass."
The Student Affairs Council of
the University Senate must now
approve the document. The only
problem seems to be several
phrases which, according to Lampert, "were lifted verbatim from
the present constitution which
Student Affairs Council ratified in
1965."

could bo hold would be the hut
