Fowler vs. Friedan;
Liberation from
by Aralynn Abare
Barnett Fowler, "leading male chauvinist of the
Capitol District press," and Betty Friedan, "the
Witch of Salem of the women's liberation movement, " locked horns Wednesday in a battle ranking
with the Frasier-Ali bout.

What?
"We are finding our power," she affirmed, "and in
less than five years ofthis movement, we took the
sex discrimination provision in Title Seven of the
Civil Rights Act...and we said it must be enforced."
Sex discrimination can no longer be the only kind
of discrimination that is considered moral, fashionable and a joke in America."

Committee Tells
Anti- War Plans
Abortion
by Susan Gordon
Billed as the woman s answer to the "Fight of the
Century," the debate was sponsored by the Women's Press Club of New York State for the benefit
of its scholarship fund. Tlie topic was "Liberation
From What."
Friedan's final argument was for the "inalienable
right of women to control her own body, and her
own reproductive process."
"What do we need liberation from'.'" she asked
again. "The obscenity that the male hierarchy of
one church could threaten excommunication to any
woman who dares to ue her right under the law lo
get an abortion. We accept the legal definition dial [a
felus| becomes life when il can be born and live
outside llie body.
"llie outrage, the instill lo women by these
"friends of the felus, friends of life...who place the
life of an unborn felus. over the life and soul of any
woman old enough to bear a child."
"How llie hell I gol her, I don'l know." were
Barnett Fowler's opening words, lie emphasized his
surprise, font weeks aflei he was asked lo 'speak lo
llie piess club,' lo discover lie was lo debate with
Belly Friedan, unknown to him al llie lime.
"Now...I know that she's not only a greal lecturer,
bul she's a dam good wiilei, llie creator of a best

"Not against all..."

The first round was Frictliin's, who immcdiulcly
set the groundwork for her attack, "liberation from
what'/" ,he hegan, "from anything than denies the
women ol this country or the world I heir full
personhood. I can'l make il any simpler ihan that,"
"This is a massive, unfinished revolution of American women towards full equality, human dignily.
human freedom and our own Identity in the Family
of Man...It is the biggcsl, mosl important, faslesl
growing movement for basic social change in this
country...." "It is unique., Il deals not with a
minority...but with an oppressed majority. Women,
over 507/ of the population of the U.S.; 55%ul'lhe
adult voting population in this slate are no longer a
silent majority.
"In the pasl few years, we have found our voice
and we are confronting not only with words, but
with decisive actions llie institutions that have
oppressed us."
Friedan charged thai l-'owler, in his columns, ma le
a "dirty joke" of the problems of women. '"I he lad
that one can even try lo make a joke about the
interests of women." she said, " is I ho essence of
whal we need liberation from."
"No need for mace or tear gas lo keep women
down, just Ireal 'em as a joke and send 'em flowers
on Mother's Day. You see, il hasn'l been necessary
lo use mace ot leai gas hi keep women down in
America. We have been invisible people, like llie
blacks were invisible men. You know the black was
an invisible man il you could say "Here, boy" lo a
45 year old man al a railroad station."
She emphasized thai men, in general, were not llie
enemy, but "fellow victims." "The inequities, the
obsolete sex roles which make men die ten years
younger because I hey have had to suppress so many
tears and fears, and bear too much of the burden...
but I know a male chauvinist pig when I see one."
"I am nol agamsl all facets of Women's Lib," be
offered. "Nonetheless. I am here on llie negative
side as the devil's advocate...! do not think Women's
I.ill is directing major efforts in the right directions....If s a horse riding oft in all directions,"
l-owlei expressed a desire lo see "an organization
such as Ibis, do a hit of specific lifting, nol
concentrate on downgrading an eslahlishmenl...This
is not going lo happen by 10,000 females lying up
traffic in New York City, or by vicious attacks of a
hundred customs and beliefs, lo which millions of
women subscribe...I slill believe in motherhood,
immaculate or otherwise."
The "lalk of one Miss Grace Atkinson" dominated
a pari of his argument, bowler commented on Grace
Atkinson, another prominent Women's Lib figure.
He said, "...Miss Atkinson's utterly strange, utterly
tasteless, ulteily ghastly opinions leave me chilled.
She as a Women's Lib leader does llie movement a
disservice."

Fowler condemned "militancy with no regard ' >
the righls of others." "Is il logical lo have Women's
Lib on the Slate Campus al Albany." lie asked,
"demand by April Fool's Day. free examinations for
all women in the university community'.'" "Is n
logical to demand free abortion services I'm any
women ovei IK years of age withoul parental
permission, then refuse lo listen to the adniiuislialoi by drowning oul hei answers?...! have an idea
thai a university is a spot to incubate ideas, not
embryos." He tell, however, that society had an
"obligation lo llie girl forcibly raped, .!').()()() of
llicni last yeai."
"If militancy is to be used, lei us use il in fields
which truly need il. Alcoholism is one...I have seen
Women's Lib lighting for the privilege of drinking al
men's liars, hut I have heard nothing of lighting llie
problem itself."
"II OIII llieinc is liberation, then, by Cod, let the
efforts of Women's Liberation be mililanlly directed
lo free society from live spirochete. I'm not saying
Women's Lib is responsible for venereal disease. I
am saying any encouraged feeling in the field of
sexual license inexhorahly leads to such."
Referring lo students, be suggested, "If total
sexual freedom is such a necessity, and children are
considered a waste by-product, go to a vet and gel
spayed."
I spoke lo a woman about ibis meeting and she
chuckled. "I don'l believe in llie movement," she
said. "I've lived well over the .10 year age. And so
far during my life I've been pretty much able to do
whal 1 wanted."

The theme of immediate withdrawal of all U.S. troops from
Southeast Asia marks the spring activities of the April 24th
Committee on this campus. The Committee hopes to provide bus
transportation from SUNYA to help enable the student population to
attend the March on Washington on April 24 th.
Mark Belkin, head of the April 24th Committee, explained that the
Student Mobilization Committee has temporarily disbanded on our
campus, and along with other political organizations, has merged
under that nonpartisan title of the April 24 th Committee so as to form
the broadest possible coalition of all peopie opposed to U.S. military
involvement in Southeast Asia. | Locally this includes former members
(jf the SMC, the Young Socialists Alliance, the Albany Pence Center,
and the Albany Coalition for Peace and Justice.] Nationally, NPAC,
National Peace Action Coalition, has announced a calendar of spring
antiwar activities,all planned as "legal, peaceful and orderly
manifestations of oppostiion to the war." They are as follows;
Local demonstrations to mark the assassination of Martin
Luther King, Jr., an ardent opponent of the Vietnam War.
Mass march on Washington, D.C. and San Francisco in
support of the demand for immediate withdrawal of all
U.S. forces from Southeast Asia.
Demonstrations on campuses and in communities around
the country to commemmorate the Kent State and
Jackson State massacres.
(Armed Forces Day): Civilians will make this Solidarity
Day with antiwar GI's by joining them in peace activities
at military bases.
Whereas the April 24th Committee here and NPAC nationally
support the single demand for immediate withdrawal of all U.S.
troops, the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice (locally the
Albany Coalition for Peace and Justice) supports three demands; 1)
Immediate and total withdrawal of all American troops from
Southeast Asia; 2) Guaranteed annual income of $6500 for a family of
four; and 3) Free all political prisoners. The PCPJ has scheduled
national activities throughout May, with a mass assembly in
Washington on May 2.
The April 24th Committee feels that the single demand of
immediate Iroop withdrawal will not impose the acceptance of the
other two demands. For the sake of unity within the movement, the
People's Coalition for Peace and Justice has endorsed the April 24th
action, although they will still carry on their own May activities.
What distinguishes the April 24fh mass demonstration from the
November 1969 Moratorium in Washington is its comprehensiveness.
It is supported not only by high school and college students, but by
local communities, labor unions, legislators, a separate United
Women's Contingent, and Third World People, including Blacks,
Chicanos, Puerto Ricans, Asian-Americans and native Americans
whose various organizations comprise the Third World Task Force, all
of whom oppose the war as a major source of many of our domestic
economic and social troubles.
In addition, a new influence on the antiwar movement are American
GI's. According to Belkin, a significant factor since the Moratorium is
the growth of an antiwar movement in Vietnam. U.S. failure in
ground war seems to have lowered Gl morale. The fact that the
antiwar movement is no longer isolated to the student community
should increase news coverage and have an added influence on the rest
of the public, if not the administration.
This, the site of the proposed West Podium Extension, may remain as it appears now. Prospects look glum
for the project.

West Podium Future
Deemed 'Uncertain9
by Bob Kanarek
Imposed savings by the State
Legislature on next year's budget
may cause the scrapping of plans
for the West Podium extension.
President Benezet termed the project "very uncertain," yesterday
at a faculty information hour.
Building on the extension is
presently scheduled to begin in
the fall. To be completed in three
years, the extension would provide added space for classrooms
and would alleviate the acute
shortage of space in the Campus
Center.
The President directed the bulk
of the hour to explaining other
effects of next year's probable
budget situation. He staled that
the projected total number of
students al SUNYA by 1980 is
22,000-2:1,000. Terming the budget cutting a possible "blessing in
disguise," he indicated that a cut
in admissions was necessary and
cited 15,000 as a seemingly more

Board Rebate Slated
For Indian Quad
by Al Scnia
Residents of Indian Quadrangle will be receiving a
ten percent rebate on their board payments from
Albany State's Faculty-Student Association. The
action climaxed a weekend of negotiations among
representatives of the quad government, Student
Association, and FSA.
Confirmation of a twenty percent rebate for room
has not yet been forthcoming from the SUNY
central dormitory authority. However, Quad president Barry Bashkoff said the chances "look good"
for quad residents.
Students on the quad had been withholding more
than $21,000 from the Bursar's Office in room and
board payments while action was being uwaited. It
appears that the payments for board (meals) will be
made promptly now that FSA has acted. Bashkoff
indicated that the students had very little trouble in
convincing FSA management of the legitimacy of
their complaints, which for the most part dealt with
the inconvenience caused by lack of u dining area.
He said the students had "very little trouble with
them" (FSA) even though the fault lay more with
the building contractor then with the corporation.
Attontion will now be focused on the central
administration, which will judge the merits of
granting a room rebate. Bashkoff said he was
pleased by the results of u recent meeting ho
attended with two administrative representatives.
The complaints were felt to be legitimate; action has
been tabled while SUNY central works on cutting
the budget.
While the residents await Chancellor Boyer's anticipated approval, forty one students will continue
withholding room payments.

Gay Identity

A gay consciousness-raising discussion g r o u p is forming (m

Albany State t o be able t o get t o g e t h e r in an o p e n atmosphere
and talk a b o u t what it means t o be gay.
T o be gay is t o be a second-class a l l i e n . T h i s society cronies
stereotypes about h o m o s e x u a l s as it d o e s a b o u t o t h e r oppressed
groups. Many Americans see all h o m o s e x u a l s as criminals. Gay
people with the courage t o o p e n l y a d m i t their identities suffer
discrimination in e m p l o y m e n t , housing, a n d civil rights. Laws
exist in most states which self-righteously a t t e m p t t o incriminate
the homosexual for living her or his private life.
Increase Shown
In Student Dismissals
by Mitch Zoler
An ASP Feature
At t h e e n d of t h e fall s e m e s t e r
this year, 9 0 freshmen and sophomores, and 25
upperclassmen
were dismissed from t h e University's various schools (principally
the College of A r t s and Sciences).
This figure of 90 c o m p a r e s with
28 last year ( t h e first year of S-U
grading) and is t h e highest a m o u n t
for t h e past seven years ( t h e years
for which i n f o r m a t i o n is available).
When Bruce Gray, Assistant
Dean of t h e University College,
was asked why so m a n y s t u d e n t s
lacked t h e necessary six credits
for c o n t i n u a t i o n , he said t h a t it
was mainly due t o the fact t h a t
some s t u d e n t s feel they d o n ' t
have t o w o r k t o pull an " S " grade
in t w o subjects. This, c o u p l e d
with a lack of c o m m u n i c a t i o n
b e t w e e n professor and s t u d e n t ,
can catch a s t u d e n t off guard. But
it is also true t h a t m o s t s t u d e n t s
were aware of their plight when
they were notified.
T h e m e c h a n i c s of dismissal began in J a n u a r y when transcripts
were released to the University
College. Each advisor looked for

two of the h u n d r e d and twenty
lowerclassmen to withdraw without p e n a l t y , put sixty-four on

Fifty-four along with the other
t w e n t y upperclassmen.
P r o b a t i o n was considered nonexistent u n d e r t h e pass-fail system, but the c o m m i t t e e decided to
create individual " c o n t r a c t s " with
those s t u d e n t s w h o they felt had a
reasonable excuse for their poor
showing. All the " c o n t r a c t s " involved i n c o m p l e t e (I) grades being
changed to ' S ' by some time
during this semester (the exact
date d e p e n d i n g upon the individual case). Unfortunately, there
are n o figures available at this
time as to how many of these
" c o n t r a c t s " have been successfully fulfilled.
As for those who were dismissed, the University does not
turn its back on them. S o m e are
given assistance in being readmitted, while o t h e • are helped to gel
into o t h e r schools. But Mr. Gray
was upset at the large n u m b e r
who "just didn't give a d a m n " and
did not go a n y w h e r e .

Gay oppression is a very subtle form of oppression. While Ihe
oppression of racial minority groups and w o m o n in this country is
economically based, gays do not c o n s t i t u t e such an easily
identified minority group. Female and m a l e h o m o s e x u a l s arc
found in all social and e c o n o m i c strata, all races of p e o p l e , and in
all communities. Often, n o b o d y but the h o m o s e x u a l s themselves
know w h o they are. The a t t i t u d e people have toward homosexual
ity is oppressive. Because of the h a t r e d a n d fear surrounding it,
gay people have to hide their identities from straights and even
from each other. Gays have to live a " d o u b l e lifo," hiding their
true selves most of the time, being o p e n o n l y at the mosl sccrel
m o m e n t s . Gays come to hate themselves for their differences
from everyone else, they c o m e to feel isolated and alienated. They
are deprived of any honesty a b o u t their relationships. They are
denied the honest fulfillment of their f u n d a m e n t a l needs.
i
Gay women and men at Albany S t a t e and everywhere are
beginning to realize that h o m o s e x u a l i t y is not the evil thai
traditional social and moral values m a k e it appear. T h e gay people
have neglected for too long their p o t e n t i a l as whole h u m a n beings
by denying true sexuality as an integral part of life. The gay
discussion group is a first step on this c a m p u s , in recognizing Ihe
need for a gay c o m m u n i t y . Total freedom can only be achieved
when all people have a sense of gay pride.

robbed, b o t h had o p e n d o o r s . T h i s evening, a friend
informed us of o t h e r suites t h a t had been robbed. A
quick check of suites in our i m m e d i a t e area alerted
us to the fact t h a t b e t w e e n floors six and twelve of
Eastman, t h e r e has been a flourish of robberies
during the past week, m o s t of which had open
doors.
This letter is a plea t o those p e o p l e on campus
who have h a d m o n e y stolen and have not reported
it. Our R A had n o idea a b o u t all of the robberies
that had taken place simply because they had not
been reported. T h o u g h the m o n e y c a n n o t be returned, a n d even t h o u g h the d o o r was open, if a
crime is r e p o r t e d , o t h e r s can be m a d e aware enough
to take a d d e d p r e c a u t i o n s . P e r h a p s if we had known
a b o u t t h e r e c e n t o u t b r e a k of thievery in Eastman,
we would n o t have left our p u r s e s on our desks.
Perhaps if security, which even n o w acknowledges a
large n u m b e r of robberies, realized t h a t there weneven m o r e , they would take s o m e action. Due to a
t r e m e n d o u s a m o u n t of red tape which is part of any
bureaucracy, it is hard t o get a n y t h i n g done here
w i t h o u t a large n u m b e r of p e o p l e screaming for a
very long time. O n c e y o u have signed a housing

As a d e v o u t m e m b e r of the conservative ranks, I
was q u i t e disturbed by the approval you gave t o
President Nixon's plan to federally fund the SST, a
project certainly o u t of the government's rightful
jurisdiction, from a conservative's viewpoint, and
o n e which should be handled by the private
businesses only. Such federal funding is nothing
short of welfarism and moves the country in a
socialist direction. Ecological questions aside, Presid e n t Nixon has overstepped his b o u n d s by supporting this project just as he did when he proposed his
Family Assistance plan; and you, who received the
s u p p o r t last fall of so m a n y ardent conservative

federal sponsoring of so incredulous a project, have

A d e c e n t e d u c a t i o n at a reasonable rate is o n e of t h e few
b e n e f i t s left t o the average New Y o r k State resident. T h e recent

" I find it hard t o believe t h a t on a c a m p u s of
13,000 s t u d e n t s t h a t there aren't m o r e w h o are
interested in s o d o m y , " said A s s e m b l y m a n Steve
Solarz ( D e m . - B r o o k l y n ) , referring to the small
t u r n o u t he received here M o n d a y evening as he
lectured on " S e x and the Legislature."
T h o s e present h e a r d of the efforts t h a t m e m b e r s
of the State Legislature are making t o deal with
some of the sexually related p r o b l e m s now existing
in New York. T h e s e efforts take one of t w o very
different directions. O n e is to liberate t h e sexual
codes of this state and to remove the p r o h i b i t i o n s
against certain forms of sexual activity. T h e second
direction is to impose additional restrictions on
these activities.
Bills introduced this year by Solarz and his
colleagues would I ) repeal the penalties for sodo m y in private b e t w e e n c o m p e t e n t ana c o n s e n t i n g
adults, 2) p r o h i b i t discrimination against h o m o s e x uals in e m p l o y m e n t , and .'!) prohibit discrimination
against h o m o s e x u a l s in housing. These bills were
recently r e p o r t e d o u t of c o m m i t t e e and should
shortly be voted u p o n .
So far as the s o d o m y s t a t u t e is c o n c e r n e d , Solar/,
takes the position p r o b a b l y most " e l o q u e n t l y articu l a t e d " m a n y c e n t u r i e s ago by St. T h o m a s Aquinas.
He said t h a t there is an i m p o r t a n t distinction
between public law and private sin and that simply
because s o m e t h i n g is immoral d o e s n ' t necessarily
mean that it ought t o be illegal.
T h e Assemblyman also takes the position that the
restrictions against s o d o m y between c o m p e t e n t and
consenting adults t e n d t o create an e n v i r o n m e n t in
which c o r r u p t i o n can flourish. It is an open invitation on the part of t h e police and o t h e r individuals
to engage in blackmail against those u n f o r t u n a t e
enough to be discovered taking part in such actions.
F u r t h e r m o r e , Solar/, feels that at a t i m e when
m a n y people are afraid to walk the streets at night,
there are far better things for the police to do than
to go chasing after h o m o s e x u a l s . Police ought not
waste their time over the so-called "victimless
c r i m e s , " but rather deal with the kinds of crimes
with which most p e o p l e are concerned.
T h e above positions were editorially endorsed by
the New York Post and have also received the
s u p p o r t of a n u m b e r of p r o m i n e n t private citizens.
Solarz believes that q u i t e a few m e m b e r s of the
legislature at least privately s u p p o r t these measures,
t o o . H o w e v e r the legislature is an institution which is
terribly sensitive to public opinion. Solarz feels that
legislators are n o t going t o move forward in this area
if they reel that the p e o p l e are likely t o penalize
them as a result.
T h e majority of people Solarz represents, as
indicated by their response to public opinion polls
he has distributed during the last three years, are
overwhelmingly in favor of elimination of penalties
Aid Soviet
Jewry
for h o m o s e x u a l i t y . Solarz stated t h a t this is an issue
on which the public is way ahead of the politicians.
" T h e y are so convinced t h a t the'people are o p p o s e d
to this kind of proposal t h a t they d o n ' t even b o t h e r
to ask t h e m . "
A bill t o p r o h i b i t discrimination against h o m o s e x uals in e m p l o y m e n t was recently r e p o r t e d o u t of
c o m m i t t e e , a n d will be coming up for a vote on the
floor before t h e e n d of t h e session. T h e bill t o
prohibit such discrimination in housing has n o t yet
been r e p o r t e d o u t of c o m m i t t e e . However these
measures were overwhelmingly backed by those
w h o r e s p o n d e d t o the Solarz survey c o n d u c t e d in
his district. " O f course it may be t h a t the reason
t h e y ' r e all in favor of repealing the penalties for
s o d o m y , " Solarz q u i p p e d , "is t h a t they are n o t sure
what s o d o m y is and are embarrassed to a s k . "
Legislation has also been i n t r o d u c e d to totally
repeal t h e restriction on the sale of c o n t r a c e p t i v e s
t o a n y o n e u n d e r the age of sixteen. T h e bill w o u l d
also repeal t h e restriction on either the advertisem e n t or display of c o n t r a c e p t i v e s within or w i t h o u t
a pharmacy.
T o bolster the case for this legislation, Solarz
noted a statistical study recently c o m p l e t e d which
indicated t h a t there were over 13,000 girls u n d e r
the age of 17 in this state w h o b e c a m e pregnant last
year. A n o t h e r interesting statistic is t h a t since 1967,
in New York City alone, the birth rate of girls
fourteen and u n d e r has gone u p by 40%. Meanwhile,
the birth rate for the entire p o p u l a t i o n of the city
has gone up by less than 1% over the last few years.
The bill also provides for the repeal on the
restriction on t h e advertisement and display of
contraceptives. According t o Solarz, " I t is essential
t o us to p e r m i t t h e m t o be a d v e r t i s e d , " if we are t o
make a real c o m m i t m e n t t o family planning and
birtli c o n t r o l . He went o n , " A t a time when venereal
disease is on t h e rise, we are n o t using the m e d i u m
m e c h a n i s m s available to us t o advertise the existence a n d availability of c o n t r a c e p t i v e devices."
Solarz s p o k e of a "striking i n c o n g r u i t y " a b o u t a
society which permits advertisements for guns,
knives, liquor and cigarettes on o n e h a n d , while
prohibiting ads for devices which can prevent or
enable p e o p l e to avoid u n w a n t e d pregnancies on the
other.
Solarz n e x t fielded q u e s t i o n s from t h e audience. It
was b r o u g h t o u t t h a t the existing p e n a l t y for
conscntuous sodomy
between a d u l t s is throe
m o n t h s . While t h e r e are not m a n y convictions for
this t y p e of s o d o m y , just the existence of the
s t a t u t e creates an u n f o r t u n a t e environment and
creates extra p r o b l e m s for h o m o s e x u a l s .
" H o m o s e x u a l i t y isn't my cup of t e a , " replied
Solarz to o n e inquiry. "I w o u l d n ' t encourage
a n y o n e to b e c o m e a h o m o s e x u a l because t h e
p r o b l e m s they face in our society are very substantial. All things being equal, the person w h o is
straight is far b e t t e r off than if he is a h o m o s e x u a l . "

its time to c o m m e m o r a t e the deaths of six million
Jews, brutally m u r d e r e d by Hie Nazis and their
collaborators. In A l b a n y , and olher cilies, periods of
silence will be p r o c l a i m e d in their m e m o r y . Yet, a
few m i n u t e s out of each of our lives is insufficient
to r e m e m b e r six million people. A few m i n u t e s will
not suffice! Man's c o n t i n u e d i n h u m a n i t y t o man
cannot be shuffled off inlo the corner of our
consciences by a few m i n u t e s of silence, Such
t o r t u r o u s m e m o r i e s cannot he relegated t o the past
while similar events occur today.
A t t e m p t s at cultural genocide c o n t i n u e in the
Soviet Union, .lews are being deprived of their basic
h u m a n rights within the Soviet state. We cannot
afford to be silenl any longer!
A last is planned and scheduled lo benefit II"'
Jews within tile Soviet Union. Il wdl be held, the
dinner of April 21st, lo coincide with a twenty four
hour vigil taking place al the State Capitol steps
( a t t e n d e d by p r o m i n e n t local, stale, and national
figures) April 21s! 22nd. For the lasl lo be a
success, we need the help of the academic c o m m u u
ily: lo help man the sign up tables, and to fast thai

Welfare
To the Editor:
T h e s t u d e n t s from the graduate school of Social
Welfare wish to express their dissatisfaction with the
c o n t i n u o u s frustrating blocks (hat are placed in the
way of education. For e x a m p l e , a s t u d e n t can be
dismissed from this school at any time in the
semester on purely subjective grounds. Also he can,
and in fact is dismissed al (he c o m p l e t i o n of his last
semester without sufficient warning. Often a student is dismissed because he is accused of being
"psychologically i n c o m p e t e n t . " Although the faculty feels c o m p e t e n t in diagnose s t u d e n t s , they refuse
validation. Often basis for dismissing s t u d e n t s (euphemistically called "counseling o u t " ) include such
totally subjective p a r a m e t e r s as "lack of e m p a t h y "
and "lack of self-awareness".
We as s t u d e n t s , i|tiestion the values id' a faculty
c o m m i t t e d to n " h e l p i n g p r o c e s s " thai offers
nothing more I ban e m p t y moral plat itudes. T h i s
b e c o m e s closer to reality when s t u d e n t s are denied
help when they need it the most.
R e c e n t l y , we endeavored in a joint effort (that is,
faculty and s t u d e n t s ) to formulate a definitive
policy of field work evaluation
After three weeks
of " g o o d will n e g o t i a t i o n s " , the faculty arbitrarily
i m p l e m e n t e d the "proposal on field work e'nlua
l i o n " although it had been rejected by the student
body This revealed the true n a t u r e of the " g o o d
will" of i he negotiating team a p p o i n t e d by [)i\\n
Charles T O'Reilly Tins " g o o d will" lias also been
a c c o m p a n i e d by veiled threats of being h a n d l e d
" a d m i n i s t r a t i v e l y " for being active in s t u d e n t
affairs.
T h e c o n s e q u e n c e s of this situation have created an
a t m o s p h e r e of distrust and mutual suspicion a m o n g
s t u d e n t s and faculty of a profession dedicated t o
b e l t e r u n d e r s t a n d i n g a m o n g mankind.

To the Editor;
I was al the abortion rally you " r e p o r t e d " in y o u r
issue of March 29th, A wide spectrum of speakers
discussed various aspects of abortion and c o n t r a c e p t i o n laws, t h e s t a t u s of w o m e n in N Y S s c h o o l s
colleges, and society, and goals of the w o m e n ' s lib
movement.
You failed to m e n t i o n the significant p r o p o r t i o n
of m e n (whose concern was applauded by o n e of
the speakers) and women over ;1Q, at the rally. You
failed t o report the considerable time spent attacking the contraceptive laws, with their over- Iti-only
age-restriction. T h e d e m o n s t r a t i o n which drew only
100 from the Albany area, and the rest from N Y C
and o t h e r parts id' New York State, was n o t a
w o m e n ' s lib meeting, as y o u r headline staled. It was
a meeting lo protest all legislative restrictions on a
w o m e n ' s right to control of her own body.
Instead you spent half y o u r c o l u m n informing us
that Flo used the words " m o t h e r - f u c k e r " exactly
once. You did not m e n t i o n her c o m m e n t s on
various a b o r t i o n clinics now operating.
Your " r e p o r t i n g " (was S t e p h a n i e even t h e r e ? " )
was so totally biased I w o n d e r you had the guts t o
p u n t it. Maybe y o u ' r e just nut capable of writing
about anything except the anti-war m o v e m e n t .

Next, arrange the baby in the position for slumber. A baby sleeps
best on its stomach but, owing to its dim intelligence, it will keep turning itself over if not prevented. Therefore, to insure that it remains
prone, it is wise to place a soft, heavy object on its back another
baby, if possible.
Once the baby is asleep, remove your wrist from its mouth and
tiptoe softly from the room, closing the door tightly behind you so you
will not be disturbed by its crying. Then turn on the television, go to
the refrigerator and reward yourself for a job well done. Howard yourself how? Surely you know . . . with Miller High Life Beer, of course!
That is how honest workers like you have been rewarding themselves for over 115 years. And no wonder! What better reward than
Miller's amber liveliness? What higher bounty than Miller's lively
amberness? What pleasanter premium than Miller's breath-taking,
joy-making, soul-waking flavor? What welcomer bonus than that this
Miller, this best of ull possible beers, this jewel of the brewmaster's
art, should be available both in beautiful bottles of clear glass and in
cans which are equally winsome, though opaque?
So sit back and enjoy the Miller you have so richly earned. And

The baby's habitual diet is a viscous white fluid called "formula."
This should be served at the temperature of your wrist. In the event
you can't find the baby's formula, let it suck your wrist. It will never
know the difference, for the baby is basically an organism of dim intelligence, though not without a certain peasant cunning.
After the baby has ingested the formula or sucked your wrist for
thirty minutes or so, it grows stuporous and is ready in go to sleep - the
very thing you've been waiting for. You can hasten this desirable condition by singing a lullaby. If you don't know any lullabies, make one
up. This is really quite simple. In a lullaby the words an> unimportant
since the baby, basically an organism of dim intelligence as wo have

in a lullaby, so use any old thing that comes into your head, just so it

You will need three things: an ordinary kitchen chair, a whip, and a

It is essential to dominate the baby from the very start. Never

But terror, though necessary, is not enough. To get the best results out of a baby, you must also make it love and trust you. This,
however, cannot be accomplished by firing ymir pistol, not even close

THE JAZZ SCENE
by Robert Rosenblum
Joe Henderson - Power to the
People (Milestone MSP 9024)
Anyone who knows jazz has
learned by this time that one does
not just put an instrument in his
mouth and set foot in a recording
studio and become a major voice.
There have been those that have
tried this type of sham, most
natably Pharoah Sanders, and
Sonny Sharrock. But they are not
likely to please anyone, with the
exception of a small handful of
pretentious critics fearful of being
called moldy figs. The process,
which has been repeated time and
again, is learning from past masters and after having developed an
unconscious sense of the essence
of jazz, attempting to homogenize
the influences into a personal
style. Gillespie began sounding
like Eldridge, Coltrane like Parker
and Dexter Gordon. Joe Henderson has gone through this painful
progress, learning from Charlie

The result is more than the sum of
the parts. There is the perfect
welding of the emotional and the
intellectual into an exciting and
powerful
identity that has
launched him into the fore front
of jazz.
Milestone continues its series of
excellent jazz albums permitting
absolute freedom for the artist
and procuring the most remarkable of rhythm-men (all having
recently been with Miles Davis,
Jack De Johnette still being with
him.) The result is a remarkable
record.
"Black Narcissus" begins with a
soft, whispy tenor in a very high
registrar. There is a two quarter
bass ostinato accenting the third
beat of the 3/4 measure. Herbie
Hancock inserts some floating,
fututistic chords on piano. This
passage alternates with a louder
tributary that has no real time
signature. Henderson's solo is also
alternately gentle and violent,
Hancock, who introduces a shocking new approach to the electri
piano, does an extension of his
earlier chords, which at times
leaves all tempo behind and swirls
around Hon Carter's bent bass
notes.
"Afro Centric" is a modal with
an Afro-Cuban beat that features
a much angrier solo by Henderson. He uses "sheets of sound"
intelligently, integrating it with
the rest of his statement which is
at all times completely coherentMike Lawrence has a big fat
trumpet tone with a sharp edge.
He plays simple, but nice ideas.
Carter's fast and furious bass lines
give the song extra punch. Hancock's and DeJohnette's (especially) work on this track is exemplary.
Ron Carter's "Opus One-PointFive" is written at a slow pace
with a nearly indistinguishable
melody; where the melody leaves
off and Henderson's improvisation
begins is different to discern. This
type of song leaves him open for
some brilliantly conceived, subtle
ideas and inner tempo changes.

THAT'S ALL FOLKS!
The Albany Student Press
will resume publication on
Wednesday, April 14th.
The Spring Schedule of Final Exams represents an innovative
change in the scheduling and administration of final tests here
at SUNYA. The Office of the Registrar has released the
following explanation in order to clarify this new system to the
University community.
Final examinations for most regular day time courses have
been scheduled with reference to the class meeting times and
days during which these courses were taught during the spring
semester. All courses taught during a common time module,
such as MWl\ 9:10-10:00 are scheduled for examinations in
their regular classrooms at a common examination hour—i.e.
Friday, May 7, 8:30-10:30. Exceptions to these are courses
designated on the examination schedule for "departmental
exams." In these eases all sections of courses so designated will
meet at the common exam times identified on the exam
schedule regardless of when each section was taught during the
semester. Room assignments for these exams will be announced
in class as will those others indicated in the opening statement
at the top of the exam schedule.
The letter designations appearing in parentheses immediately
to the left of the meeting times are not significant to the
student in determining the time and day of his final
examinations. These references merely identify the basic
scheduling modules that made up the class scheduling pattern
followed this semester.
Final examinations for Late Afternoon and Evening Courses
generally are scheduled to begin at their regular starting times in
their regular classrooms on the first day of the exam period on
which the courses ordinarily meet. Exceptions are noted with
an asterisk on the Late Afternoon and Evening Exam Schedule
accompanying the day time exam schedule.
Some minimum number of individual student examination
conflicts exists within this schedule pattern. Ideally, the final
examination schedule should be developed in conjunciton with
the semester Schedule of Classes. We would expect to reach this
point during the coming school year.
Because the schedule follows the basic class schedule pattern,
we'would not expect any need to deviate from the published
schedule. Individual observations regarding the effectiveness of
this type of schedule, following its initial use, are solicited and
will be appreciated.
Final exams are quickly approaching. Last minute studying will be taking place- probably the night of
May 6 since the first day of exams is May 7!

Rigerman Retells Horrors
Of Jewish Life in USSR
by Vicki Gottlich
The suppression of Jewish culture within the Soviet Union became the theme of Leonid Rigerman, a
recently expatriated Soviet Jew in a talk given here at SUNYA. The March 31st discussion, sponsored by
the Student Coalition for Soviet Jewry, drew the attention of area students and interested community
members.
Rigerman is a short man with black hair and beard. His accented, halting speech belied the fact that he
has been in this country only seven weeks. A physicist born of American parents in the Soviet Union and
raised there, Leonid and his mother went to the American Embassy in Moscow and demanded
expatriation.
Rigerman did not speak of his release. Instead, he told of his life in
Russia to outline the hardships that Soviet Jews endure. Throughout
his younger years, he believed what he learned in school, that the
Soviet Union is a wonderful country whose people have all the rights
denied the residents of the capitalist countries. He learned that there
shouldn't be any nationalities, but that all should unite into one
which is world-wide. He learned, too, that there were some people
unworthy of this beautiful theory, and these were the Jews. Rigerman
told of attempting to suppress his Jewish traits and be like "everyone
else." He knew nothing about Judiasm, having learned in school that
Jews have no culture and history, and that even their language,
Yiddish, is merely a corruption pf German. He knew nothing of
Hebrew.
The Soviet physicist explained how Israel has changed his attitude as
well as the attitudes of many of his fellow Soviet Jews. Rigerman
found it hard to express himself as he told of the fears of all Jews in
1948, when Israel was created, since all Jews were thought of as CIA
agents within the USSR.
As an eight year old boy, he found it difficult to understand the
fears of his elders, as well as the crime of being Jewish. He then went
on to talk of the Six Day War, which he called a miracle. He began to
think and get together with others as he and the whole world saw that
Jews do have something to be proud of in the state of Israel. He
learned, too, that Jews do have a history, a culture, and a language. He
experienced "liberation" and stopped suppressing his "inherent
Jewishness." Rigerman discovered the nature of Soviet propaganda
and began to study about the western world.
Rigerman ended by speaking of conditions in Russia today.
Although the Soviet constitution guarantees freedom of speech and
assembly, a person who says something undermining Soviet authority
is put in prison, according to Rigerman. Rigerman contends that many
of the Jews in prison now were convicted simply because they studied
Hebrew. He told how, every Saturday night, nobody slept in the
building where he lived, for people were always taken away, never to
return. He closed by saying that the people decided they can't just
give up their Jewishness and live in peace. The price is betraying their
people and their Jewishness.
The audience gave Rigerman an ovation before and after his speech.

Alan Heineman is, in my opinion,
the most intelligent and interesting and witty music critic today.
His notes on this album are insightful and stimulating. They add
to the album rather than advertise
it. He should be given more
opportunity for this kind of writing.
If there is any real star it is
Henderson. But much attention
must be given to the rhythm men,
not only for their supreme solo
accomplishments, but their always
appropriate and propelling accompaniment. It is mixture of team
work and individuality that creates a masterpeice such as this.
Albany Student Press i
"Mountain" will appear tit the Palace Theater Sunday, April 4. The group's latest album is "Nantucket
Sleighride."
Transportation
» All you need is a driver's license
"Isotope" is an angular Monkish
theme which begins with fast
chromatic arpeggios by Hancock
traded off against the slow walking of Carter's bass. Henderson
then jumps in to contribute a
notable solo and eventually goes
into exchanges with Jack DeJohnette.
"Power to the People" is an
Eastern tinged melody written in
a minor key. Henderson grows
gradually in intensity playing, for
the most part, avante guarde lines
reaching a peak with some slashing DeJohnette drumming and
stunning chords by Hancock,.
Lawrence is rather limited here,
but the emotional message still
comes across clearly. There is
some sort of telepathy between
Hancock and Carter, as Hancock
frantically skips through Carter';;
bass lines with an exciting and
well varied solo.
Henderson speeds up "Lazy
Afternoon" breathing new life
into the old standard by reshaping
and elaborating during some
f u n k y acco mpa n i m en t by
Hancock. "Foresight and Afterthought" is a three part suite that
has a remarkable solo by Henderson. There is just a trio on this
one and the tenorist really stretches out, kicking his heels over a
cooking rhythm section. The second part has some slow, biting
moans. The /'new thing" never
had it so good. The third section
is back to the hard romping that it
began with
