ALBANY STUDENT PRESS PAGE 12 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14,1971 FIVE CENTS off campus The Campus Mood Albany Student PressX by Roscoe Drummond Opinion Washington. From everything I read and hear - especially in being cross-examined by campus audiences - here are some conclusions about today's students: 1. Most students are decisively turning away from extremist ties - left or right. Only a minute percentage wants any alliance with or gives support to the violence-prone SDS, to the Black Panthers, the John Birch Society or the Ku Klux Klan. 2. In growing numbers young people believe they can and should work through the political system - rather than outside it - to achieve their goals. 3. Some more activist students, though rejecting violence, are deeply distrustful of ever being able to make the democratic process work for them and state that their faith in it is wearing very thin. Vol On balance I find a less pessimistic mood on most campuses. But, in talking with young people, which is quite frequent, I also discover that they really do not realize how much they have influenced national policy in the last few years. Young people have provided the driving force for a notable change in public thinking in a remarkably short period of lime. They have not been alone in this effort. Many older adults have shared and still share their objectives. But students have certainly been a significant, perhaps a dominant, force in turning the nation almost wholly around on the Vietnam war, in reforming the draft, in galvanizing national concern on environmental pollution, and in bringing Congress nearer to trying out a volunteer army. By any standard of political action, this is a remarkable sum of achievement. I can think of nothing to match it inso short a period of time. I bet you're really pleased to be able to vote in free, democratic, guarantee-filled elections. Students are no more thrilled about the American style of democracy than the Latin American people. Political power This means to me to rest on a misunderstanding of how democracy works. What kind or a democracy would we have if everybody refused to take part unless they were sure in advance that their views would prevail. Students should not believe that democracy has failed them ir in a particular instance they don't get everything they want. Democracy consists of a perpetual struggle to win a majority to your side. Young people have already won a great many to their side and the need is for them to keep it up, to help make democracy work better, lo make our institutions even more responsive to public demand. They can do this by working more diligently than ever to build an animate public opinion on crucial issues and by helping lo elect public officials who share their main purposes. By their present achievements, young people are proving their political power. The YOU'RE QUITE RIGHT, SIR, WE ARE DIRTY, ODIOUS, REPULSIVE, FILTHY KIDS- WE'VE BEEN CLEANING UP THE OIL SLICK IN THE BAY!' Kids...what's the matter with kids these days?

All rights reserved.) LVIII Rates Reduced On Indian Quad Driving force Except for difference of opinion over the pace of withdrawal, the students have decisively won on the issue of Vietnam. Withdrawal is irreversible and President Nixon knows it. His forthcoming report on troop removal will almost certainly announce a speedup in withdrawal. In a recent interview Mr. Nixon made this revealing comment: "Those who think Vietnam is going to be a good political issue next year are making a grave miscalculation." This can only mean one thing - that the President intends that withdrawal from Vietnam shall be so continuous and so substantial that critics of the President will have little to argue with. This suggests that most young people are not putting a high enough value on what they have already accomplished. They simply don't know their own strength. I think they have no need to despair about their ability to influence public policy. Some activist students argue that they can't bring themselves "to participate in the normal political process until they see evidence that the system will respond to their attitudes." ft^ Soviet Jewry: Travesty of Justice by Barry Silverberg Student Coalition for Soviet Jewry An ASP Column Since 70 A.D. when the Romans destroyed the Second Temple of the Jews, the Jews have been in exile from their land of Israel. Throughout history, from that point onwards, we have been unwelcome in many countries, used by many as scapegoats, and have been the target of an irrational human anger known as Jew hatred.Our parents have been murdered before our eyes, our grandparents humiliated for their dressing habits, and we the objects of vast efforts of conversion. In 1933, Hitler came to power in Germany. Concentration camps were built, and again we were victimized. Six million of our brothers died. The Jewish population of Europe was cut drastically. Who can actually imagine the extent of six million human beings systematically destroyed? In our society, one human life is sacred, can we allow three million more to follow their brothers'.' Our "establishment" organizations have been active - so they tell us. Yet, for all their bureaucracy, they have only spurred the release of a trickle of Jews from the Soviet Union and its satellites. The time is now for the colleges to get into the streets and demonstrate for the freedom of Soviet Jews. A dollar or two dollar donation to ai organization helping Soviet Jews is not enough — we've got to do more! The hurt is deep to see the lack o response of my fellow students lo this injustice. Jews want It leave the Soviet Union now. They are in need of our support a; they have never been in need of it before. We can't ignore thei pleas {as some say we have); we've got lo help them. Even small acts on our part are belter than none at all. On Wednesday, April 21st, we're asking you to last; to allow tile money usually used tor your contract dinners to go towards the purchasing of packages of food, clothing, and medicine for families of imprisoned Soviet Jews. We're asking you lo sign up at your dinner lines this Wednesday and Thursday, and to honor your responsibility lo your fellow man. That night, April 21st, we're asking you lo join us in a march from Draper Hall to the State Capital (march to start at 5:00 p.m.) to begin a twenty-four hour vigil lo commemorate the six million, and to show our concern and solidarity with the three million others within the Soviet Union. Are we asking too much? Residents of Indian Quad will receive a 115% room rate reduction for both semesters this year. President Louis Benezet announced the official state approval of the discount at the Campus Forum. Complaints from students regarding poor conditions on the quad prompted the action. Discussion of the implications and effects of the tight budget was the main topic of the Wednesday conference. Stringent legislative cuts have caused the abandonment of plans to rent the Picotte Building on Western Avenue, which would have housed the School of Library Science and the Departments of Economics and Computer Science. Financial setbacks will not lead to dismissals, Benezet revealed, and only two programs, the Center for Science and Society and the Center for Government Executives, will be dropped. These two were specifically cut by the legislature. "II looks as though we will have even more classes in the late afternoon," President Benezet commented on the budget's effects on students next year. An increase of the student-faculty ratio and few added stall' will also mark the coming semesters. Problems with space remain unsolved. Hard hit by the depleted budget is the EOP program. At present, unless the governor's supplemental budget appropriates more money for the program, Tewer new EOP will be admitted. In a meeting with Chancellor Boyer and other SUNY presidents it was decided that the EOP program will be the first request priority from the state university in the governor's supplemental budget, Benezet revealed. Hopefully money will be available from the federal government through Aid lo the Disadvantaged. The future of the Day Care Center is also in danger. Funds from Student Association and the SUNYA Benevolent Association will finance the center Tor the rest of the academic year. The Board governing the Day Care Center will be meeting soon to attempt to solve the problems facing them. The Committee on Educational Policies is reviewing the proposed Environmental Studies Program. A small pilot unit for a living/learning center on Indian Quad seems likely according to President Benezet. Some professors have offered to change their academic emphasis to Environmental Studies. Further funding will probably not be needed. Also mentioned at the Forum was the expected completion of Indian Quad. Vice President for Student Affairs Clifton Thome reported Mohawk Tower will not be ready in the fall, but the low-rise dorms and the cafeteria should be ready for student use. Student comment on the effectiveness of the present Academic Calendar and the Academic Schedule was also solicited. The continuation of the present calendar will be decided by October, 1971. Due (o budget cuts, classes next year will be a little more crowded. Hopefully, we will not get to this extreme- il's cold here in the winter. —potsltowski Overdue Book Fine Hike Proposed by Library Council by Howard Mahler A committee of the Library Council of the University Senate has proposed a new circulation policy to be effective at the beginning of the Fall semester. The Committee is headed by Dr. Donald B. Stauffer of the English Department at SUNYA. Stauffer said one of the largest complaints regarding the University Library is that there are not enough books and that overdue books are numerous, thus students are deprived of their use. Both students and faculty members are the blame for this problem. A prompter return of books avails greater material in the Library for the University Community. The problem was revealed at a hearing held by Dr. Jonathan Ashton, Director of the University Library. Stauffer said that Ashton, who is on the Library Council, is pleased with the proposal since it will relieve the pressure for books. An increase in finces for overdue books may exist for Fall 1971. The pattern from the Library Council Report to the University Senate is below. The report will be submitted April 20. "The idea of fines is not punitive," explained Stauffer. They are instituted to insure prompter return of books. Fines for failure to return material when recalled, however, is punitive. "Why don't students and faculty members have equal rights in regard to the new circulation proposal? Stauffer explained it is a time honored tradition on American Universities for the faculty to have extended rights to the library. He also said Doctoral Candidates and faculty doing research may need library material for lengthy periods. Reminder notices on outstanding material will be sent mid-semester lo faculty members. This is an inducement to return material they are not using. The Circulation Policy Committee desires a response to the proposal. There will be a hearing Tuesday, April 20, at 3:00 in the Patroon Lounge. In order to shelve more material on the stacks a group of English Graduate Students organized by Karl Felsen volunteered on a Saturday Lo help the Library staff. The Library is under staffed clue lo a limited budget, The pattern is as follows: Students; Three-week loan period, books cannol be recalled during the initial loan period. If not requested by another user, books may be renewed for successive three-week periods until the end of the .semester. Renewals must he with book in hand. (Note: this is necessitated by the use of a computer-controlled system.) Failure to renew: Overdue notices sent one week after due date. If book is returned before notice is sent, no fine is collected. Fine: For failure to return book before notice is sent out: $.10 per day from due dale (for each day Library is open). The minimum fine will thus be $.70. Fine accumulates until book is returned or reported iosl. Fines will be cut in half if paid in person when the book is returned. Faculty and doctoral candidates: Three-week period, with automatic renewal up to end of semester when not recalled. Material subject to recall after three weeks. Reminder notices on outstanding materials to be sent at mid-semester. At end of semester material must be returned or renewed in person. Overdue notices will be sent out for material not returned or renewed. Fine; For failure to return or renew book before notice is sent out: Samo schedule as for student loans. Students and Faculty: Reserves: A student or faculty member may place o n reserve a n v material which has been in circulation for more than three weeks.

For books requested during the initial loan period, recall notices will be sent at the end of the three-week period. —potsltowslti continued on page 3 FRIDAY, APRIL 16,1971 FRIDAY, APRIL 16,1971 Solzhenitsyn Symposium Scheduled US. Support Pleases Fascist Regimes by John Nicolopoulos AnASPFeaturt ...John Nicolopoulos teaches history at Albany State, Formerly with The Cultural Office of the Greek Embassy, Mr. Nicolopoulos resigned that post in 1967 in protest of the military take-over in Greece. As part of activities aimed at reversing the official U.S. Government policy of support for the junta, Nicolopoulos is collecting signatures to be placed in an advertisement in the Washington Post Elias P. Demetracopulos, a leader of the Greek exile movement, will speak at SUNYA, April 22, at 8:00 p.m. Any person who desires to demonstrate his support of the opinions expressed in this column may do so by signing it and submitting it to John Nicolopoulos' office, Social Science 376. The recent rash of political incidents involving the military in a number of countries maintaining defense ties with the United States would alert all thoughtful Americans to an urgent, if not entirely new, problem facing the formulators of U.S. foreign policy. It is, in effect, becoming increasingly clear the U.S. appeasement of the Papadopoulos dictatorship in Greece has encouraged similar tendencies in the neighboring NATO countries, Italy and Turkey. Extremist elements connected to the military establishments of these countries interpreted American support of the Greek junta as an extension of the so-called Mann doctrine—providing for a "pragmatic" attitude toward dictatorial regimes in Latin America as long as they do not threaten U.S. foreign policy interests "directly"—to the Mediterranean. In reaching this conclusion, they were amply assisted by the propagandists of the Athens regime. The institutions developed by the Greek colonels since 1967 were perhaps even more influential in this connection that their propaganda: the Papadopoulos group came up with a formula for "legitimizing" and perpetuating military domination of the political process, which has been the distinguishing feature of post-World War II dictatorships outside the Communist bloc, in a way at least superficially acceptable to the major defender of Western democracy, the United States. The key to the political structure devised by the Greek colonels is the Supreme Council of National Defense, an omnicompetent body in which the ostensibly civilian Prime Minister is superceded by the Chief of the Armed Forces, who, in his turn, presides over a pyramid of armed forces councils organized along the junta's constitution, rubber-stamped by the totalitarian plebiscite of September 29, 1968, and hailed by the State Department as a step toward the restoration of democratic government in Greece. Papadopoulos' formula opened new avenues for Right-wing extremism, caught in a political cul-de-sac since World War II and the disgrace of the pre-war Fascist parties. The army could now take the place of the totalitarian party as the vehicle of the great "Conservative Revolution" which would save "Western civilization" both from Communism and its own "weakness." The work of synthesis accomplished by the Greek military lawmakers is indeed remarkable. They resurrected the rhetoric of the Truman Doctrine and the Greek civil war, picked up the concepts Information Aboul LEGAt, NEW YORK STUDY SOUNDS IMPROVE GRADES Improve Oradn JWiflf Dtvpllnp Tht 5»m» Amount Of Tlm# To Stud* USE STUDY SOUNDS Incnait Your Concentration And Improvs Your Compcahimlon.

It should be noted that before the Papadopoulos breakthrough, the prospects of the military as a political force in Europe were marginal. De Gaulle had had no great difficulty in checking the French colonels who repeatedly attempted to seize power in the course of the Algerian war; statesman-like Turkish generals did likewise, the most recent instance being the limited intervention against Premier Demirel followed by the retirement of twenty activist officers who favored a Greek-style takeover; the Greek high command itself had been able to snuff out a colonels' coup in the course of its execution in May, 1952, and several more in the making later. It was due to a remarkable comedy of errors that Papadopoulos was given the chance not only of seizing power, but of consolidating his dictatorship by a veritable Hitlerian Gleichschaltung disguised as an "operation" on the diseased body politic of Greece which would bring about a "healthier" democracy. Papadopoulos emulators in Turkey and Italy have now suffered setbacks and the realization of the slogan shouted by Italian Neo-Fascists during the recent distrubances, "Ankara—AthensRome," does not seem imminent. But the abscess will not be entirely drained unless the United States decisively abandons the mealymouthed vocabulary of "pragmatism" in order to clearly and unequivocally dissociate American policy from the enterprises of extiques under the cover of Pro-Americanism. Otherwise, the danger of Fascist restoration in Europe will remain with us, to the ultimate advantage of Communism, which is a more effective form of totalitarianism, bound to fprevaih any kind of confrontation. A symposium will be helcf as a tribute to the works of Alexander S. Solzhenitsyn on April 19, at 8 o'clock in the Assembly Hall. The Russian Department feels the University community will benefit from a discussion of the famous author and his frequently censored works. Solzhenitsyn first gained acclaim with One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, published in the leterary magazine Novy Mir (New World), in 1962, under the pergonal sponsorship of Premier Nikita Krushchev. However, the author never again enjoyed such official recognition, and two succeeding novels, Cancer Ward and The First Circle, were rejected by Soviet publishers. These works, though, circulated widely among Russian intellectuals in manuscript form, and along with a few short stories and plays, reached the Western countries, enjoying great success. In October, 1970, Solzhenitsyn was awarded the Nobel Prize in literature. Although recently expelled from the Soviet Writers Association, he was given permission to go to Stockholm to receive his prize. His return to the Soviet Union, however, was not guaranteed by the government, and Solzhenitsyn elected to remain in Soviet Russia.

Y„ Computers Keep Tabs On Taxpayers by Craig Ammerman Associated Press Writer AP— Armed with a complex of computers and a system of crosschecking that explores angles by the thousands, Uncle Sam keeps close watch over his 95 million taxpayers. Four modern computers spend every minute of the year continually pouring over the returns filed by America's breadwinners. And with tax time at hand and about half of the country yet to file, the machines at the National Computer Center here—the pride and chief detective of the International Revenue Service—are whirring away to pay refunds, process returns and catch citizens who make mistakes, either honestly or otherwise. The IRS has centered its income tax memory bank in a on>:-story, plain-looking brick building outside this eastern West Virginia town since 1962. The tax return being filed by the taxpayer first goes to one of seven regional centers, where the most vital information is placed in magnetic t a p e and sent to what employes, he re call the "Martinsburg Monsters." In the next 3V4 years, before it is kicked off magnetic tape for storage elsewhere, every taxpayer's return will be sent through suspecting computers almost 200 times. Tax returns are fed through the computers from 86 million individuals and 9.2 million businesses. The computers' jobs are many and are overseen by a staff of 275 trained technicians who program the prodigious memory bunks for continuous operation. In fact, not an hour has been lost in the past seven years. " We can perform numerous functions, and provide information for about every taxpayer in the country," assistant director Ed Hieronamus said. Every Saturday morning a new cycle is begun at the center us the 100 million accounts move from master files through the IBM M60 computers. Entries arc made each week on about five million returns. They can constitute filling in this year's return, making out a refund and recording it on the tape, or checking some suspected irregularity. On each individual's file are total income, occupation, tax paid, deductions, and whether the Ux payer got a refund or not for each of the last three years. That information takes all of ,4H<I of an inch of tape to record and store. Any taxpayer whose return is different from those in his class is immediately singled out lor special attention. For instance, a return listing $6,500 income and $2,000 in pnyment to charitable organ izutions is immediately spotted by the computer. ^ ««»1l>W»»1t«»«*tt«<WHW3BW»»»»»«»»iatK1tWt«aMt Stuyvesant Jewelers Look for our Inserts is Today's HUMROIST-SATIRIST-PLAYBOY WRITER lean Shepherd Lives!

Bond was first elected to a seat created by reapportionment in the Georgia House of Representatives in 1965, but was prevented from taking office in January 1966 by members of the Legislature who objected to his statements about the war in Vietnam. After winning a second election in February 1966—to fill his vacant seat—a special 'House Committee again voted to bar him from membership in the Legislature. Bond won a third election in November 1966 and in December 1966 the United Slates Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the Georgia House had erred in refusing him his seat. On January 9, 1967, he took the Oath of Office and became a member of the Georgia House of Representatives.

He served for three months as Executive Secretary of the COAHR. In April 1960, Bond helped to fund the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). That summer, he joined the staff of a newly-formed Atlanta weekly Negro newspaper, the Atlanta Inquirer as a reporter and feature writer. He later became Managing Editor. In January 1961, Bond left Morehouse to join the staff of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee as Communications Director, a position he held until Students September, 1966. While with SNCC, Bond directed the organization's photography, printing and publicity departments. His work with SNCC took him to civil rights drives and voter registration campaigns in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas. His poems and articles have appeared in Negro Digest, Motive, Rights and Reviews, Freedomways, Ramparts, Beyond the Blues, New Negro Poets, American Negro Poetry, The Booh of Negro Poetry, and other publications. Bond, his wife and their four children live in Atlanta. Organize 'Peace Week9 WASHINGTON, D.C. (CPS) A group of student presidents and editors, supported by the National Student Association and the U.S. Student Press Association, have called for a National Peace Treaty Week, from April 19-23, to concentrate organizing activities around the People's Peace Treaty, negotiated by U.S. and Vietnamese students in December. The treaty, which has been endorsed by more than 300 student presidents and editors and a list notables from Dave Dellinger to Rock Hudson, is seen as a needed focal point for the broad range of anti-war protest activities this .spring. "The People's Peace Treaty provides the means for unity in action," an organizer emphasizes. Anti-war organizers, particularly those affiliated with the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice, are using the Treaty as a mechanism to prevent protest activities form dissipating alter the spring actions, as has happened in the past. Thus, they stress the need to develop "concrete implementation plans (for the Treaty) now" to ensure significant activity during the summer. April 19-23 is also a week of Gl organizing around the country and Vietnam Veterans demonstrations in Washington, D.C, and spokesmen urge support Tor these efforts "as part of Peace Treaty Week activities." The Treaty, which has been circulated widely on campuses but has gone largely unpublished in the nal ion's commercial media, lias seen a variety of "implementation" strategies develop. At Oakland University in Rochester, Mich., for example, II of 12 questions on an implementation referendum were passed by the student body. Some of the questions supported included: Should the billboard on 1-75 be used for anti-war purposes' Should the University support demonstrations against war manufacturers? Should the University boycott services and products of all companies that profit from the war? At the University of Chicago, the approved referendum included four parts: ratification of the Treaty; a demand for withdrawal of the University from the war by ceasing war-related research (listing specific projects); a demand for University to cooperate with faculty and students in extending non-military aid to people of Southeast Asia; re-evaluation of priorities within University budget. At the University of Wisconsin, blood is being collected to send to North Vietnam. The student-faculty-administration Assembly at Goddard College in Vermont ratified the Treaty and also set aside space for the 1071-72 school year for South Vietnamese students expelled by theThieu-Ky regime for peace activities. Other schools and communities are organizing tax resistance, supporting draft resistance, urging city councils to accept the Treaty, and joining boycotts of war firms. Julian Bond, Black Poet and Georgia House Legislaturer will speak here on April 21. Applause for Sears Roebuck by Jeff Rodgers "Well, that's the way it goes on live TV," said the announcer the first time Sears new commercials for its Craftsman Eager 1 power lawn mower were aired on TV. The mower didn't start. Since the initial showing, the mower has started on the first try every other time. Robert Thompson, Sears' national merchandise manager for lawn equipment, remarked that he hopes that people "will begin to look forward to the spots as a 'Will the mower start' contest." The showing of these commercials will hopefully lend credibility to TV commercials by showing the viewers that not all companies use gimmicks and camera tricks to sell their products. In the age of videotape, Sears deserves mention for taking a chance on live commercials. r ....

Sheik-Abdi An ASP Column Exploitation of the Third World Peoples and Minority Groups was to be the subject of a conference sponsored by Buffalo State University on the weekend of April the 10th through the 13th. More than twenty nations, among them three nationalities at SUNYA, were represented. Ramesh Bakhru (India), Abdi SheikAbdi (Somalia) and John Walker (USA) of the International Studies and World Affairs program attended the conference on behalf of Albany State. During the first meeting, participants grappled with the question of what constitutes the Third World. Some of us thought that such a world must consist of predominantly non-white, poor, and under-developed nations; mainly inhabiting the continents of Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Some of us wanted to broaden this definition to embrace any and all exploited peoples anywhere in the world. By the end of the second day, however, we were still at loss as to what constitutes the Third World. The Afro-American delegation dominated the discussions to the extent that the foreign students, who were by far in the majority, found themselves the mute witness to an embarrassing confrontation between the vocal Blacks and half-a-dozen White Americans at the conference. Things would have gotten out of hand it Dennis Dean (Black) and John Walker (White-SUNYA) had not proposed the holding of sessions in sensitivity groups so these two hostile factions might have a chance to know each other as individuals. If the reporter of this column learned any lesson from this conference, it is this: misunderstandings and misconceptions among nations and races may be best dealt with through interaction of fre^-thinking individuals. The clash of self-righteous ideologies can hatch nothing better than half-cooked compromises that arc no sooner extracted than either forgotten or cast aside. The wrangling participants redeemed themselves when they decided to treat each other as individuals, and not as stereotypes. Some of us have even formed friendships. Finally, we departed the camp as individual men and women, and not in delegations. albany student press ?

Hospital and Hospital affiliated clinics only. Safe, C o n f i d e n t i a l , Immediate, cal! An ASP Column We are in serious trouble!! Something must be done immediate ly to modify the Education Program at this school. Also, the students taking these courses must do something. As I wander around the campus at SUNYA, I see and hear many students bragging about how they borrowed someone's papur and got an "A," or how they didn't read anything all year and did well on the exam. I see them ripping pages out of library books, particularly in the Education Periodicals. These things upset rile because it shows how some people have no respect for education at all. Many of these destructive people will be tomorrow's "teachers," if you want to call them that. How can they possibly communicate the importance of knowledge to other students when they have no respect for it themselves? How can they motivate students when they don't even write their own papers'.' As far as I am concerned, their college diplomas and teacher's certificates are meaningless. Anyone can go to college for four years, get his degree on paper, and go out to teach. He may never care about bos efficient he is. He might never wonder if his pupils understand him. It is so easy to be this kind of a teacher. He'll probably get away with it in most school districts. Thus, the corrupted system of education continually perpetrates itself. I have thought of some possible solutions to this growing problem. First of all, I do not believe that any student should Inallowed to take an education course if he is not going to be ;i teacher. There are too many students crowding the classrooms already. My next solution seems fascistic, but it is the only efficient mode of curtailing the flaws in the system. Applicants for education courses must be screened by a psychologist or ;i very perceptive person who will interview him and tear down .he facades and "good image" the student will fry to portray. If il has worked in the Soviet Union, it might work here. The Soviet system of education is superior to ours for this very reason. Unfortunately, these creatures called "students" have lowered the value of education, not only in the Ed department but in all areas. Some of you may argue with mo and say that the courses are too irrelevant to put any work into, I have an answer for you! Relevancy is all up to you. You must go out and fry to relate whatever you have learned. Of course, I will admit thai a teacher can help you and the structure of the course can help. This is being worked out now and it will take lime. But remember, the reason that you curse out your boring, rigid-minded teachers is that they are like you. They have already decided that the course Is irrelevant and they don't do a god-damn thing to motivate anyone. features editor (lehhic nulansolin associate features editor John fairhall arts alitor Inula walers associate arts editor michete palella sports editor roberl zarcinba columns editor r. j. warner city editor mike ellis Chiof-ln-Editor the by determined ii policy Editorial .editing to subjact are and w o r d ! 3 0 0 to limitad ara Editor the to L a t t a r i 2194 and 2190-467 ara phonal Our .tax student mandatory by funded i i and 1916 of c l a n t i n by founded w a i ASP T h a .Albany at York New of Univariitv State th» at building Canter Campus the of 3 2 6 room in located Is P r a u Student Albany Tha.

WITH MAX SHULMAN (By Iht aulhnr •>( ttnllv Hnumt tht Flag, n<w*... thbit-tiilii*. •. i The Preening of America Recent polls taken on American campuses by Time and Newsweek have revealed unexpected, and most welcome, results. Both magazines found that today's undergraduates, far from boiling with revolutionary fervor, are just as torpid as everyone else. Joyous tidings, of course, but I must say that I was never worried. Sure, life-styles are a little different on campus these days; nevertheless, I've always felt that down deep this generation clings to the same solid values that sustained all their predecessors. In my own college days, for example, the most popular aid to sociability on campus was precisely what it is today: Miller High Life Beer. And, mind you, my college days were a good long time ago. I got my B.A. way back in 1908. (My alma mater, incidentally, was a school I'm sure you all know — the Wyoming College of Belles Lettres and Commercial Baking, from whence, as you are undoubtedly aware, came a veritable host of graduates who later achieved stardom in the breads tuffs game —men like Parrel I J. Inskip who invented rye bread with caraway seeds; Irving T. Whitsun who invented the toothpick, thus making it possible to eat rye bread with caraway seeds; Sol Bagel who invented the permanent doughnut which bears his name; and many, many others. Indeed, the list would be far longer if the college had stayed in business but, alas, it was killed by mold in 1921.) But I digress. Even in 1908, I say, Miller High Life was u campus favorite. In fact, it was popular even before 190H, for Miller has been delivering flavor to discriminating Americans for over 1 lfi years! And today it is more widely appreciated than ever! And why wouldn't it be? In 115 years no other brewer has ever duplicated Miller's flavor. Oh, they've tried to copy Miller, you can bet, but a fat lot of good it did them. Since the very beginning Miller's superb brewing formula has been one of the best kept secrets on earth. It has never been known to more than one man —Miller's chief brewmasler- and he has always been kept inside a hollow mountain in downtown Milwaukee. But I digress. The polls, I say, have proved that today's college student, though he dresses in a homespun robe and wears chicken bones in his ears, cherishes the same dreams and drives that students have always held dear.

To illustrate, I recently visited a student commune at a prominent Southern university (Michigan State). Now, I'll admit it didn't look much like one of your old-fashioned fraternity or sorority houses. First of all, there waa no house. Everyone slept in trees, except for one girl who made a hammock out of a discarded bra. In the second place, meals were not served; they were trapped. And in the third place, the kids didn't talk about the usual things like life, sex, truth and beauty. In fact, they didn't talk. They just sang "Om," holding the note till they hyperventilated and toppled over in a faint. But appearances are only appearances, aa I discovered when I started to interview these people. "What are you studying?" I asked one young man. "My navel," he said, and I was vastly reassured, for wo all know the crying need for new doctors. "What do you want to be when you finish school?" I naked another young man. "A druid," he said, and again I was reassured, for aa anyone on Wall Street can tell you, forest ecology is the coming thing. "Do you believo in women's liberation?" I asked a girl. "No," waa the answer. "Why not?" I asked. "I'm a boy," waa the answer. And so it went. And BO I say to you again: worry not. Take away the beards, the beads, and the buckskin, and you'vo got the same lovable freckle-faced achievers you alwayB had, only naked.

The following are two such musicians. much of the same problem, but comes on strongly on "Exosphere" using the speed of Charlie Parker and the tonal quality of Ornette Coleman. The bassists and drummer are by far and away the standouts on the record. Harold Avent has both power and sensitivity and his use of the bass drum for accentuation is particularly commendable. Tyrone Crabb plays some bass that was obviously copied from e x - C o l t r a n e bassist Jimmy Garrison, whi is also recorded here (on "O.C.T."). Don Moore's work on bass lends strong support and he, more than anyone, holds the performances together as a cohesive whole. Clifford Thornton appears to be rising into permanence in the avante garde (which really isn't prominence at all) as a result of his association with tenor saxophonist Archie Sheppe. The album Freedom and Unity (Third World 9636) by the Clifford Thornton New Art Ensemble is one that has been produced by a cooperative group of avante garde musicians. . As an example of the "Now Thing" in jazz this record is quite unusual. 1 say that because the compositions and arrangements are much more of interest than any individual soloists. Thornton, who plays valve trombone, has a very limited range, hardly any technique and only occasional sparks of imagination (as on "Exosphere") and "O.C.T." The ensemble work is beautiful, though, and the composers create some of the most beautiful group textures I've heard in the avant garde. It is here where Thornton's bitter sound fares best. "15th Floor" is the most notable. It is sort of blues like in texture though not in form. This record can be purchased Karl Berger is much more of a only by writing Clifford Thorntechnician on vibes, but musically ton, 109 Broadway, Brooklyn, he is quite monotonous, running New York 11211. The APB Television Network, the nation's only network which is not governed by FCC regulations, controlled by sponsors, or limited by programming aimed at the lowest common denominator, is now accepting affiliations on college campuses across the country. The network has been formed in protest to a twenty year legacy of programs like "The Beverly Hillbillies" and "Let's Make a Deal" from the commercial networks. Among the programs supplied to affiliates during the fall, 1971 season, will be the "New Consciousness" series, which focuses on the social issues that most concern today's young people. These programs have all been produced specifically for the APB-TV Network and will avoid all censorship problems by being distributed on the new cassette television medium. Included in the series are an examination of repression in America that features Frank Mankiewicz and Abbie Hoffman, an exploration of the consumer movement with Ralph Nader and his Raiders, an analysis of the nation's drug problems by Woodstock Festival physician Dr. William Abruzzi, a journey with Bernadette Devlin on her recent U.S. visit, and overview ofthe ecology movement with Waller Hickel, and a feature on the human body that includes the first televised abortion. Affiliation with the APB-TV Network will also enable campuses to choose from cassette recordings fo major rock concerts, underground films, top sports attractions, contemporary drama, and instrucitonal programs. APB is currently negotiating with severial national advertisers for sponsorship of some of these programs. Campuses that pay the original affiliation fee will e receiving sponsored cartridges free of charge. Sponsorship is accepted only after completion of the program, and will have no influence on content. Featured on many of the programs will be personalities from the American Program Bureau lecture agency, the speakers who have been most in demand for in-person campus appearances. The list ranges from Ralph Nader, Bernadette Devlin, Paul Ehrlich, and Julian Bond to Abbie Hoffman, Jane Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Al Capp. These speakers, who have often complained of being limited to safe topics when they appear on network talk shows, will now enjoy the same freedom on the APB-Tv Network as they have on the college lecture platform. The television network lias been totally integrated into APB President Robert P. Walker's concept o"The Fourth Media, the most direct and unfiltered source of information available to today's students." This unrestricted programming is made possible by the use of the new CBS/EVR video cassette system. Pre-recorded programs on seven-inch cartridges areplaced in Motorola Teleplayer, about the size of a record player, and played through any ordinary television set on the campus. A single Teleplayer can feed a dozen TV sets in one location, and it can also be directly connected to a school's closed circuit video system. The cassette programs are owned by affiliated schools and will form a permanent library of video information which can be a constant reference source. Unlike film or video tape, the cassettes can be played more than a thousand times with no deterioration of video quality. -chow Tennis Team at 3-1 Saturday, April 24 Movie, Butch Cassidy...

There is a tee for our service . . . . • . by Dick Sexton With what may be the strongest tennis squad ever at Albany State the Great Danes entered the 1971 spring campaign with hopes for a great season. It will certainly be a trying one, with the schedule calling for 13 matches within a four week period, nine of which will be played on the road. At this point in the season, the team's record stands at three wins against one loss. The team fared very well in its season opening match against RPI, winning eight of nine matches. On April 7, the team traveled downs-lute to the New York-Long Island area. The Danes were victorious in the southern campaign against Brooklyn College with the final score 6 1 . The last two doubles matches were called because of darkness. The following day, however, the Danes were just shaded by a strong Stony Brook squad, losing the match 5-4. This past Tuesday at home, the Coast Guard Academy was subdued by Albany, 6-3. After this season, the three top ranked players on the team grad- uate. They are, in order of rank, Ken Rishman, Dave Hawley, and Ted Rosenberg. However, the four remaining players are sophomores and promise to pick up a good deal ofthe slack. The team suffered an unfortunte loss when Dave Hawley developed leg trouble early in the season. It's uncertain, at this point, whether he will be able to return to action this season. Hawley's two year varsity singles mark is 19-2. However, the rest of the team seems to have been able lo make up the loss somewhat. After the first four matches, individual statistics are as follows: Ken Fishman is undefeated at '1-0, Rosenberg is 2-2, Eric Carlson 3-1, Chris Burke 3-1, and Harold Forrest and John Buffone are both 2-2. In the eyes of Coach Hathaway, the team is playing "up to par." Their next home match takes place on. Tuesday, April 20 at 3:30 against New Paltz. If the team can stay healthy and continue to play "up to par" an NCAA bid could very well await them, Again The Albany State trackmen made a smashing success of their 1971 debut Wednesday afternoon by completely dominating the triangular meet held with Boston State and Westfield State. The Great Danes amassed a total of 112Vi points to Boston State's 34V6 and Westfield State's 25 points. The meet took place at home amidst a thirty-five degree temperature and a gusty wind. Nevertheless, Albany took first in all but four events, with its stength and depth very much evident in the field events Seriors Don Van Cleve and Dee Grilli placed one and two respectively in both the shot put and discus. Dave Reynolds won both the high jump and triple jumps; Saul Moshenberg took the long jump; and Sophomore Tommy Moore came on top in the pole vault. Elsewhere in the field, Ross Andersen, last year's MVP, threw the javelin 160 feet for a first. In both the long jump and triple jump Albany swept the first three places. On the track, the Great Danes also placed the first three men in the 100 yard dash, won by Cliff McCargand in the 880 with Pete Payne taking a first. Other winners were school record holder Sal Rodriguez in the 440, Arnold Shell in the mile, and John Comerford in the two mile. The win was Albany State's 16th straight meet victory dating back to the 1969 season. The team looks healthy and very strong al'eady, a good sign after just the first meet. Next week THE ASP SPORTS will have an exclusive interview with Coach R. Keith Munsey, the driving force behind the team's success, to see what he thinks of the possibility of his team finishing undefeated, and also its possible future in this year's NCAA postseason affairs.
