Synch Swimmers Place 4th
by Anilynn Abare
The Albany Synchronized Swim
Club placed fourth out of ten
schools in the Third Annual Eastern Intercollegiate Synchronized
Swimming Conference Routine
Competition, held here Saturday.
Ranking first in the meet was
the University of Vermont, second, SUC Brockport, and third,
Penn State. Other participating
schools were Skidmore, SUC Geneseo, CUNY Hunter College, SUC
Buffalo, SUNY Stonybrook and
Brandeis University.
Albany entered four routines in
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

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.

that the 8900 figure included students classified as year '15.'These
people are basically businessman
and housewives taking courses at

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

Since the turnout was higher than
we originally thought, and the
20% figure lower, we saw that we

The Student Affairs Council of
the University Senate must now

problem seems to be several
phrases which, according to Lampert, "were lifted verbatim from

Environmental Conservation
Faces Grave Financial Crisis
by Barbara Edelman
The newly created New York
State Department of Environmental Conservation faces a grave
financial crisis for the next fiscal
year.
Bob Buehl, the area representative of SCOPE-Student Council on
Pollution and the Environmentspoke to an emergency meeting of
PYE Thursday night. The topic
was a familiar one—proposed budget cuts, this time affecting the
Department of Environmental
Conservation. Speaking informally
to a sparse audience, Buehl outlined the major problems facing
the recently established department. The legislature has recommended $4.7 million less than what
the department considers to be a
minimum operating budget. This
year they operated on $38 million. They asked for $42 million
for next year—only $400,000 of
which would go for new programs. The rest would go for
mandated salary raises. However,
the legislature will only give them
$37 million. This means not only
no new programs, but several old
ones will have to be cut.
According to Buehl, the Department desperately needs more lawyers. They only have 8 now to
cover the whole state. He commented, "You can write all the
laws you want to but if we don't
get the manpower to back them
up they won't be put into effect."
The Department also needs
Kappa Beta Announces
Annual Clothing Drive
Kappa Beta fraternity will begin their annual
clothing drive next week on Friday, March 26. All
clothing will be used locally and will be distributed
by the Trinity Institute in Albany's South End. The
Institute will sell the clothing for a very nominal
price. However, all the money earned from the sale
of clothing is used to further other programs of the
Institute such as a day care center for working
mothers, adult workshops, etc.
Kappa Beta is asking the University community to
donate all old but usable clothing to this worthy
cause. They're particularly interested in children's
clothing but adult clothing and shoes are also
desperately needed. The drive closes Friday, April 2.
Collection boxes are located in the lower lourges of
all residence halls, in the first floor landings of the
stairwells at both ends of the Administration Building and in the Campus Center Lobby.
Please call Kevin Williams (457-7980) for any
additional information.
i trained technicians such as industrial smoke stack testers.
The Department, which was
created last July, was formed out
of the old Conservation Department and parts of the Agriculture
and Health Departments. As a
result, most of the employees are
civil service workers, who according to Buehl, "are not very environment oriented." He added,
"We need money to increase employee ability." However, he rates
as his biggest problem the fact
that politicians no longer consider
the environment a priority. People
must act before March 27, since
the final budget will be voted on
April 1. Buehl feels that this issue
is a personal responsibility. He
concluded by asking "If you as

by John Beckler
WASHINGTON (AP) — A proposed constitutional amendment thnt
would lower the voting age in all elections to 18 won final
congressional approval today as it passed the House. It must now win
the approval of at least 38 state legislatures before it can be
incorporated into the Constitution as the 26th Amendment.
Backers of the amendment hope the ratification process can be
completed in time for the newly enfranchised young voters to
participate in the 1972 elections. The process normally takes about 15
months.
Congress passed n law last year lowering the voting age to 18 but the
Supreme Court held it valid only for federal elections. Unless the
proposed amendment is ratified, many states will have to establish two
sets of electoral machinery, one for federal elections and one for state
and local elections.
Several states have begun to amend their own constitutions to lower
the voting age to 18, but a recent survey reported by the House
Judiciary Committee indicates only eight could complete the process
in time for the 1972 elections.
The proposed amendment states: "The right of citizens of the
United States, who are 18 years of age or older, to vote shall not be
denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of
age." There are an estimated 11 million young Americans between 18
and 21 who would be eligible to vote under the new age limit.

U.S. Senator Mark O. Hatfield
(D-Oregon) will be the featured
spcuker at SUNYA's upcoming
c o m m e n c e m e n t exercises on
Saturday, May 22, 1971.
Hatfield has been an outspoken
critic of the Government's South
East Asian policy and has advocated the abolition of the draft by
the creation of an all volunteer
army. In addition, he has shown a
vital concern in military spending
by pressing for legislation to eliminate wasteful spending in the military budget. The famous McGovernllatfield Amendment to End
the War sought to end the (low of
funds, except economic aid, to
South Vietnam and Laos in the
absence of a congressional declaration of war. The Amendment
called for a withdrawal of troops
from Vietnam after December
1970 and a curtailment of funds
to Cambodia.
President Louis T, Benezet has announced the acquisition by the
SUNYA foundation of a 200 acre tract of land in the Adirondack
Mountains. The land is a gift to SUNYA from Mr. and Mrs. Howard A.
La Rose of Lake George Village and will be used as the site for ;i
iiewly-iicquired radio telescope. The Carnegie Institution of Washing
ton donated the radio telescope to Dudley Observatory, representing
SUNYA, RPI and Union College.
Professor Joseph Erkes of the Department of Astronomy, project
director, stated that teaching and research will be the major uses of
the telescope. The 200 acre site is located in a valley and was found
suitable in protecting the sensitive telescope from strong winds, heavy
snow storms, and any direct radiation from radio and TV stations and
radars.
Once installed at its Adirondnck site, the telescope will be the largest
in the state and one of the largest fully steerable instruments in the
country. All professional astronomers in the Tri-City area will have
access to the instrument.

I APPEALED A PARKING TICKET...AND LIVED!
Strategic Withdrawal
by Irk Tauljol
at Full Gallop
An ASP
Amid a deafening silence from Washington, South
Vietnam has been completely defeated in the Loatian
battle with the Communists. Some of the most
convincing antiwar "propaganda" ever seen has been
coming off the Associated Press teletype from regular
Indochina correspondents.
All of this has shown one thing: despite Richard
Nixon's claims to the contrary, the much "reformed"
Army of the Republic of South Vietnam cannot fight
against ill-supplied (except , of course, by the South
Vietnamese) "irregulars" (who now have tanks!), even
with massive American air support. Uncle Dick and
the Pentagon boys have been working on that army
since Nixon was elected, and now the 22,000 ARVN
troops sent in (and you can bet they were the best)
have suffered 25% casualities officially , and are
running back to the border. American units have
been moved to the border area to prevent any drive
by the Communists into South Vietnam.
In a few weeks, when all the reports are in, and the
fighting is over, the Agnews of this land will start the
Big Lie about how successful it all was. When Spiro
speaks of success, remember that Saigon officially
lost 6,000 men, one-third of the armored vehicles
they sent in, and all the inflated prestige that Laird
could muster during that "success".
Thus the lie is put to the Vietnami/atioii program,
which apparently has not changed the nature of the
ARVN in the slightest. Vietnamization was Dick
Nixon's big plan, and il has failed.
To all those who say. as Dickie and Saigon want
you to say. that the operation was only supposed to
last six weeks, and this is just the natural ending to it.
think again.
Any successful military operation is supposed to
leave the "enemy" a shambles, not strong enough to
invade your country. And second, il the retreat was
planned, why not simply say that we planned to stay
in South Vietnam only eleven years, and withdraw all
American troops now.
Loas has proven that we cannot win. Why in hell do
our "elected representatives" keep us there?

At about 1 5 minutes t o t w o , the Chairman of the
Committee s h o w e d up. 1 introduced myself. He had
heard of me. Already I've half-lost the case, I
thought t o myself.
The rest o f the Committee showed up. They
produced a multicolored map of parking zones. As
we gazed at the map we cleared up t w o of my
tickets— I admitted parking on X Quad, and the
Committee claimed that n o b o d y could park there.
The appeals remained rejected.
Bit by bit, I began t o understand the nature of the
Committee. Curiousity got the best o f me, and I
started to ask about parking rules and guidelines for
appeal. My tickets I wrote off as lost, and w e n t o n
to bigger things.
The parking Ticket Appeals Committee acts as a
judiciary branch o f the Parking Problem. The
University Senate is the legislature, and Security is
the executive. A s y s t e m with o n e major flaw: lack

permission t o park on the quad it the little gate
where the road meets Perimeter road. If security h a s
opened the particular gate near your quad, t h e y
have given their sanction t o y o u r parking near the
dorms—for t w e n t y minutes. If that gate it closed,
you're taking a chance o n the Security roulette
wheel.
For Security cracks d o w n sporadically o n violation (i.e. parked cars), and the rules, despite the

I',
by Carol HugheExploring new trends in education and community living, the
Ebenezer Howard Project is presenting new ideas for a unique
living-learning experience. Plans are being formulated for a long-range
program developing and creating a new community in Greene County,
and a short-range' project helping to relieve the housing shortage in
Albany.
Named after British builder Ebenezer Howard, the group is student
organized and student run. Two former students, Stratton Rawson
and Doug Goldschmidt were hired by Student Association to direct
the project which currently involves about 30 students, some full
time. Three areas of concentration have been determined, one on the
New Community, another for the In-Town Project, and an Academic
research group.
IN-TOWN HOUSING
Among the pressing concerns prompting Student Association to
allocate funds for the Howard project was the Albany housing
situation. With the projected student enrollment for the University
and the inadequacies of dormitory construction coupled with the
limited and deteriorating living conditions of many student residences
in Albany, Central Council saw a need for alternatives. The goal, of
course, is the establishment of a new community. However, an Albany
program has been launched.
According to Jeff Wasserman, a leader of the project, four areas of
the city are under consideration. Most promising is a block of houses
near Draper, which would be bought and renovated. The goal of the
program is more than to simply provide student housing, but also an
attempt to increase available housing for all Albany residents.
Spokesmen for the project contend that, "what we are proposing is
not a dormitory or a student housing development. Rather, we are
proposing a balanced neighborhood development which will benefit
both students and residents of Albany in terms of housing and services
provided."
GREENE COUNTY
The primary goal of the Ebenezer Howard Project is the creation of
a new community, a community ecologically, academically, and
socially balanced. After months of scanning sites in the Albany area,
Greene County, about IB miles south of Albany, was selected as a
likely focus point.
"Greene County is one of the poorest and potentially one of the
richest counties in the tri-city or mid-Hudson area," say the project
coordinators, and with planning funds available through government
subsidies, it is a feasible choice. The county, growing in poverty, has
only just begun its planning processes. Members of the Howard
Project feel that a new town in Greene County offers a unique chance
to carry out a full range of planning activities, thus providing a viable
educational program.
The Howard Project is dedicated to the idea of "the engaged style of
education," according to spokesman Wasserman. It is believed that the
University should allow interested students to actively participate in
an ongoing project. Apparently, personal motivation is the key since
student commitment would be an entirely personal decision. The
choice of the Greene County location provides the opportunity for
this involvement, because all aspects of the work-from planning to
actually building the community • is possible.
PlanB for the town are as yet fluid. However, research (through visits
and literature) has been progressing for several months. Recent trips
to Columbia, Maryland and Reston, Virginia, homes of two planned
communities, were disappointing, according to Wasserman and other
committee members.
"Both showed very little innovation and little concern to the
environment," they stated. Further study continues.
Presently, the students are seeking a house in Greene County in
which to set up a living-learning environment where planning for the
new town can be started. Hopefully, the county will make available a
tax-delinquent structure (obtainable at low cost) to the group.
RESOURCES
The most blatant problems facing the program is the need for
planning capital and resources. Discussion has begun with RPI to
arrange joint participation in the project. At the moment, several RPI
students are living in the Ebenezer Howard offices In Mohican Hall
and are working on architectural designs for the Greene County
project. Members of the project hope that this cooperation can be
extended both with RPI and with other area colleges.
Fund-raising presents a projecL in itself. At the present time, two
corporations are being established (two because of peculiarities in the
federal housing laws). Moreover, money from other sources is also
being sought.
U VING AND LEARNING
The progress in the creation of an Environmental Studies Program
has raised possibilities for housing the Howard Project in that
department. Currently, the offices of the Howard Project have moved
to Mohican Hall on Indian quad where a small "living and learning"
center has been established. Since the project's change of location was
rather sudden, few students were available to take part in the
"experience." Project leaders hope that his opportunity may be
expanded in the future. Additionally, seminars dealing with a
humanistic and scientific approach to Urban Ecology are being
formulated to augment independent study on the new community
project and the in-town rehabilitation work.
In the next few weeks, a campaign to recruit students into the
project will be conducted since the coordinators of the project will all
be leaving this year. Students are also invited to visit the Mohican
offices and view the work of the project.
The exploration of new educational trends has thrown away many
of the traditional limits of the university experience. The Ebenezer
Howard Project presents another leap in innovative education, aimed
at combatting a real problem in housing, and broadening the
knowledge of all its participants.

New Education Proposals
Involve Parental Role
New and innovative approaches
to evaluation of school districts
with low achievers, counseling of
parents, providing safety in
schools, transporting pupils and
financing education were revealed
by Assemblyman Stanley Harwood, ranking minority member
of the Assembly Education Committee, today as he submitted a
package of seven bills concerning
education.
The proposed measures would:
--Establish quality education
programs and evaluate schools
with a history of student failure.
-Provide specific aid for schools
with students below norm in
mathematics and reading.
--Initiate parental counseling
programs to investigate and train
parents in how to assist their
children at home.
-Review transportation methods
in an effort to make them more
efficient,
--Put safety officers in schools to
protect students.
--Provide tax relief for high taxlow wealth school districts.
-Place the cost of education
directly on the State and not on
the local property taxpayer.
The first Harwood proposal
would set up a Performance Evaluation Commission to review and
make specific recommendations
on the educational performance
of specific schools and school
districts.
"We have schools with a long
history of student failure," the
Naussau County Democrat said.
"Conversely, we also have schools

with a long history of pupil success. This Commission would study all aspects of both types of
districts and formulate a plan,
including the financial procedures,
for bringing the unsuccessful district up to the standards of the
successful ones."
According to Harwood, "In
1966 there were schools in New
York State where 60 percent of
the class could not pass basic
competence examinations in reading and mathematics. That percentage rose to 80 in 1969 in these
same schools."
"Many schools have been victims of internal distrubances of a
violent nature," he said. "This
program would provide for one
safety officer per 2,000 students
in a particular school."
The proposed safety officer
would not be a member of the
traditional community police
force. "He would be specially
trained to handle young people
and their problems. Part of his job
would be preventive — handling
potentially explosive situations
before they occur — rather than
apprehensive."

said, as he introduced a bill which
would set up counseling programs
to "assist parents of children with

"Those who profit from abortion
referrals should be curbed," Guttmacher added, "and this out-ofstate advertising should be curtailed.
"New York's abortion law is
functioning well" Guttmacher
said, and urged legislators not to
amend it. Guttmacher contends
that available statistics show "that
abortions under the new law have
been performed with a very high
degree of safety and a very low
level of medical complications."
Guttmacher, opposing adding a
residency requirement, explained,
"My sense of humanity tells me

"I fear if pregnancy duration is
materially curtailed it will throw
those cases which most need the
safest and best medical facilities
back into the unsafe, clandestine
auspices of the illegal abortionist," Guttmacher summi/.ed.
Lombardi said the Senate Health
Committee is working with Attorney General LefkowiU. to draft
regulatory legislation for the
many abortion referral agencies
who advertise nationally.

NOW Founder Supports:
Rally to Save Abortion
by Aralynn Abare
Betty Friedan, author of The
Feminine Mystique, founder of
NOW (National Organization for
Women), and prominent spokeswoman for the women's liberation
movement in America, voiced support Wednesday for tomorrow's
Women's Strike Coalition march
on the Capitol.
Friedan and other Women's Lib
representatives spoke at a press
conference hold before the Capitol District Women's Press Club
debate with Barnett Fowler,
Times Union columnist.
About the march, she emphasized that "the prominence there
will be of young women, especially those students who cannot gel
out during the week, who will
make their numbers felt."
Friedan vowed, "We will not
tolerate any messing with this law
that, for the first time in a hundred years, gives women the righl
of control over their own bodies."
She called "obscene and immoral"
the idea that "any politician, or
and legislator would treat women,
who are 55% of the voting population of the Stale of New York,
with such contempt at the request
of any political or religious pressure group, which would dare try
lo take hack our right to control
our own bodies, and our own
reproductive processes."
The demonstration is to protest
the \2 bills currently before the
legislature to restrict abortion.
These bills range from reducing
the Lime period for justifiable
abortions to twelve weeks from
commencement of pregnancy, to
barring women from abortion
whose husbands, if they are living
together, do not consent.
Cathy Walsh, of SUNYA Women's Lib, explained that Satur-
day's march, called for by the
Women's Strike Coalition of New
York City, will start from Draper
Hall at 12:30 p.m., and proceed
along Washington Avenue to the
Capitol for a I p.m. rally.
The Women's Strike Coalition is
composed of about 100 NYC
groups who support three basic
demands: free abortion on demand with no forced sterilization;
free 24-hour community controlled child care; and equal job
and educatiaonl opportunities.
"This coalition," Friedan explained, "is one of the many new
efforts of unity among women
who have coalesced as a result of
the August 26 Women's Strike,
when more women that ever before joined to act in their own
interest in any time or place."
"That was only the beginning,"
she affirmed, "and now we are
translating that energy info political power."
Along this line, Mrs. Friedan
announced the formation of a
Women's Political Caucus, in
which "Republican and Democratic women, as well as women
who no longer support any party"
will join to demand that 50% of
all candidates for all political office be women.
Another women's effort endorsed by Friedan was the mass
lobby planned for next Wednesday at the Capitol. Hundreds of
members and representatives of
-15 medical, civic, religious, political and women's organizations
which form the Coalition of Organizations Tor Abortion Rights
(COFAR), plus the Westchester
Committee for Legal Abortion,
are expected to converge on the
legislature to petition lawmakers
to oppose any NYS abortion law
restriction.
"These women, also in an unprec e n d e n t e d organization, are
coming," explained Friedan, "to
express a political determination
to protect the hard-won right of
women, and to confront those
who should tamper with it."
J a n e Trie liter, representing
COFAR, defined the general purpose of the group, which is to
"oppose all efforts to add any
restrictions to the present abortion law, and to support all efforts
to enhance the right of individuals
to limit their own reproduction."
Friedan threatened revenge
upon any "man who tolerates any
tampering with this law, from
Governor Rockefeller on down,
(as) enemies of women" and she
promised
"excommunication"
from office for any legislator who
s u p p o r t s restricting abortion
legislation.
During the month of December, 1970, student
groups from the United States, South Vietnam and
North Vietnam met to discuss a treaty which would
contain the essentials for a just and immediate peace
in Indochina. The results of those meetings, better
known as the "People's Peace Treaty," and the
initial plans for May's actions were discussed on
each of the quads Wednesday and Thursday nights.
A documentary on today's North Vietnamese society, "People's War," was also included in each of
the discussions.
The Albany Coalition for Peace and Justice
sponsored these discussions, in the hopes of increasing SUNYA's awareness to the ever-escalating war in
Southeast Asia. Although a great deal of time was
spent viewing the film at each campus gathering, the
major emphasis was placed upon the students'
signing of petitions endorsing the Joint Peace Treaty
which was enacted last Christmas by the members
of the American Students Delegation, the North
Vietnam National Union of Students, and the South
Vietnam Liberation Students Union. The petitioning is hoped to show solidarity behind the treaty,
the essence of which boils down to three major
demands which will be made on Congress: (1) the
immediate withdrawal of all U.S. support in Southeast Asia, (2) a minimum income of $6500 for a
family of four in Vietnam, and (3) the freeing of all
political prisoners. The treaty also demanded
specific dates when each of the above demands were
to take effect.
A spokesman for the "Albany Coalition" said that
the organization had high expectations for the 1971
spring offensive. Among the most ambitious of
these plans were: (1) Mass rallies to be held on April
24th in Washington and San Fransisco centering on
the three demands, (2) a march from the SUNYA
downtown campus to the First Trust Bank of
Albany on April 30th demanding an end to their
investment in war related industries, and (3) various
events in Washington during the first few days in
May culminating in a national moratorium on May
5th, when "schools, colleges, and businesses" should
close.
More definite plans for the spring actions are
expected to be announced after the spring recess. In
the meantime, the Albany Coalition for Peace and
Justice is trying to "wako-up" the "emotions and
consciousness" of the community, both on and off
campus. The film, peace treaty, and plans for spring
action, are expected to be the first step in thawing
out a movement which has become more or less
frozen during the long, cold winter.
Reporters ask Betty Friedan a prominent spokeswoman for the Women's Liberation Movement,.•bout
plans for this Saturday's planned march on the Capitol.
