Friday night's dead head crowd to
react. I found myself waiting
for his entrances, and I was never
disappointed.
N o w for the ladies. T h e t h r e e
which I r e m e m b e r m o s t vividly
were Sheila (Candi E a r l e y ) , Jeannie ( L i n d a Rios) and Crissy ( J o y c e
Maeek). While the solos d o n e by
Sheila ("Easy to Be H a r d " ) and
Crissy ( " F r a n k Mills"—in which
J o y c e s o u n d e d a m a z i n g l y like
Shelly P l i m p t o n , the original Crissy) were a m o n g the best received
in the show (and among the better

her gestures and facial expressions
s h o w e d her conflict b e t w e e n loving Claude and trying not to show
it, to remain the cynic.
T h e music is known to everyone, and the tribe does a magnific e n t job. The band is also superlative.
The only problem was the
audience. Friday night's crowd
was about 6 5 % older people,
either there to see t h e ( s h o c k ! )
n u d e scene or to be a m o n g the
"first nighters." They just d i d n ' t
understand it, and couldn't really
relate.

Hair is a four letter word. It is
also the best thing t o hit Albany
in at least three years.
The total effect of the play is
summed up in the cast. I have
never seen twenty five people
enjoy themselves so much on a
stage (or off it) in my life. Even
the original Broadway cast didn't
have this much enthusiasm.
Although the "hero" is Claude
Hooper Bukowski, played as an

Carlsen, the s h o w was stolen by
Berger, w h o , disguised as Richard
Spiegal, fought a never ending
b a t t l e for t r u t h , justice, and freaking o u t everyone a r o u n d h i m .
While Claude's voice was clear and
pure, going well with his "littleb o y " image, Berger's e x u d e d life
and was filled with a coarse p o w e r
which suited his on-stage personality. Here is a m a n of w h o m it can
be truly said, "he k n o w s h o w t o

Student Peace Treaties a Hoax
by David A. Pietrusza
An ASP Column
Central Council a t its latest meeting approved the so-called "Joint
Treaty o f Peace Between the U.S. and Vietnamese People." The treaty
is a product o f the National Student Association, which had already
b e e n presented at at least t w o area colleges -Siena (where it passed
overwhelmingly in both a student government vote and a r e f e r e n d u m )
and at St. Rose (where it was met mostly with indifference).
The treaty was supposedly n e g o t i a t e d b y A m e r i c a n s t u d e n t s , t h e
North Vietnam Student Union, and t h e S o u t h V i e t n a m Liberation
S t u d e n t Union. Now, exactly what right t h e s t u d e n t s o f these
countries have to negotiate for their respective people is hard t o say.
It is also hard t o say what right the National S t u d e n t Association has
t o speak up even for A m e r i c a n s t u d e n t s (since less t h a n 2 5 % o f
America's colleges and universities are m e m b e r s ) . It also m a y b e
q u e s t i o n e d as t o h o w representative t h e N o r t h Vietnamese s t u d e n t
o r g a n i z a t i o n may be, functioning as i t d o e s in a Stalinist o n e p a r t y
state.
Also, reliable sources s t a t e t h a t t h e S o u t h V i e t n a m Liberation
Student Union only exists on p a p e r , t h a t i t r e p r e s e n t s n o constituency. I n d e e d , n o n e of S o u t h V i e t n a m ' s s t u d e n t u n i o n s (representing
the n a t i o n ' s four universities p l u s C a t h o l i c a n d B u d d h i s t S t u d e n t
U n i o n s ) gave formal approval t o t h e t r e a t y .
T h e t r e a t y c o n t a i n s t h e following p o i n t s : a U.S.-North Vietnamese
w i t h d r a w l a n d t h e t o p p l i n g o f t h e p r e s e n t Saigon g o v e r n m e n t . In
r e t u r n , t h e VC pledges a coalition g o v e r n m e n t a n d d e m o c r a t i c
elections, t h e neutrality of Laos and C a m b o d i a , and only t h e promise
of negotiations o n the release o f POW's and t h e " s a f e t y " of those
S o u t h Vietnamese who have " c o l l a b o r a t e d " with the U.S. and t h e
safety of American t r o o p s being w i t h d r a w n .
T h e plan h a s certain flaws. First, t h r o u g h s o m e oversight, n o
cease-fire is called for b e t w e e n N o r t h and S o u t h Vietnamese. Very
forgetful. O t h e r lapses o f m e m o r y also o c c u r , usually in regard t o t h e
reality of the historical situation of S o u t h V i e t n a m . Critical items
forgotten include: t h e U.S. -South Vietnamese offer for a total
cease-fire on O c t o b e r 30, 1 9 7 0 ; the S o u t h Vietnamese proposals of
exchanges of POW's of December, 1 9 7 0 , (which included as a s y m b o l
of sincerity t h e release of 1.000 N o r t h Vietnamese POW's); t h e
c o n t i n u e d N o r t h Vietnam-Viet Cong violation o f Laotian and Camb o d i a n neutrality dating at least from the early 6 0 ' s ; the VC lack o f
c o n c e r n for cease fires and for t h e safety o f " c o l l a b o r a t o r s " as
evidenced by events in the city of Hue during the 1968 Hue cease-fire,
and t h e eventual fate of prior coalitions in V i e t n a m .
Viewed thusly, the " T r e a t y of P e a c e " is a cruel jest on the S o u t h
Vietnamese people and on the realities of the s i t u a t i o n . R a t h e r than
being a harbinger of Peace, it is a p r o p o g a n d a tool t o b e used in
subjecting S o u t h Vietnam (and possibly Laos a n d C a m b o d i a ) t o
totalitarian rule.

So. in a nutshell, the Peoples Peace Treaty is really

D o n ' t let a n y o n e fool you. T h e Thieu-Ky government is not widely loathed among " t h e p e o p l e " of
S o u t h V i e t n a m , and t h e y , t h e people, certainly are
not eagerly awaiting the arrival of a coalition (read:
c o m m u n i s t ) takeover, no m a t t e r what the New Left
might have y o u believe, Bernard Wolff, Vietnam
veteran (1 9 6 7 - 1 9 6 K ) , described (in National
Review,
March 9 , 1971 ) the political situation in Vietnam as
" t h e p e o p l e " see i t : " I n a ( r e m o t e village in
V i e t n a m ) , p e o p l e tend t o identify with the local
branches of t h e g o v e r n m e n t , rather than t h e
mystical national g o v e r n m e n t located in the great
city of Oz, o t h e r w i s e k n o w n as Saigon. This is
primarily d u e t o the tradition in Vietnam of having
locally oriented and based government, with t h e
most g o v e r n m e n t influence being placed in t h e
hands o f t h e village chief O n e would expect,
therefore, ;i Vietnamese in a r e m o t e area to concentrate his criticisms o n t h e village chief first, t h e
district chief second etc., with the national government far d o w n the list."
And s o I a p p r o a c h t h e P e o p l e ' s Peace Treaty
somewhat amused at phrases like: "We hereby agree
to end the war on the following t e r m s so that both
peoples can live u n d e r the joy of i n d e p e n d e n c e and
can devote themselves t o building a society based mi
human equality and respect for t h e e a r t h . " and
somewhat disturbed that so m a n y s t u d e n t s follow
unquestioningly like sheep and sign the treaty, truly
believing t h a t w h a t t h e y ' r e told is t r u e So confident
that a withdrawal of American forces will bring
about a change in t h e VC, a n d that they will
become the benign and benevolent reformers truly
interested in building " a society based on human
equal.ty and respect for the e a r t h . "
But with American forces gone, t h e VC will have
what they've long a w a i t e d : total c o n t r o l No demo
cracy. N o equality. N o respect for t h e time-honored
Vietnamese tradition of local c o n t r o l . And what will
" t h e p e o p l e " have? T h e t o t a l i t a r i a n i s m which must
inevitably creep into a c o n t r o l l e d society; the
oppression and terror which now manifests itself in
the VC's "recruitment*, policy. And for those who
think this is the whole of it, here's a reminder from
David Dillenger: for the purposes o f convenience,
please send all letters and packages intended fur

Hmmm.
So it makes me wonder w h a t the real motives .ire
behind this treaty. Do the organizers of this project
really want to " h e l p " t h e " V i e t n a m e s e p e o p l e ' "
Are they truly interested in initiating a lading

The Inalienable Right
editor-in-chief
thomas g. clingan
Anti-Semitism is not a new phenomenon.
It has developed into a science over the last
four millenia. Yet, when it occurs anew
somewhere on the globe, one tends to be
saddened if not horrified.
This time, it is the Soviet Union which
receives the Anti-Semitic Award of the Year.
Not that this sickness is alien to Eastern
Europe. To the contrary, the Slavic peoples
can proudly claim that they were the first in
European history to so malign and persecute
a people, the Jews. It is not altogether
certain, however, that the people of Eastern
Europe (the Soviet Union and her satellites)
have ever come out of the Dark Ages which
was the era of the birth of Anti-Semitism in
Europe.
Despite the economic progress the Soviet
Union has made in the distribution and
augmentation of goods, she has not overcome the social prejudices and political
intolerance of the Czarist regimes. To the
Soviet Jew, therefore, the October Revolu-
Poor
tion has no meaning. His life is still in
jeopardy and his right to be himself is still
viciously denied. Russian Judaism is thus
being threatened by extermination.
To ask why the Soviet Union has determined it necessary to forcefully assimilate a
whole people is to ask why anti-Semitism
exists. The age-old political benefit of
"scapegoatism" is obvious. When the Five
Year Plan fails, it is natural to expect
Brezhnev to shift the blame from the Presidium to a despised national minority.
Unfortunately for the Jews living in the
USSR, the blatant Soviet anti-Semitism that
we are now witnessing does not promise to
die. The day when we can finally herald the
demise of anti-Semitism will indeed signal
the maturation of the human race. But for
those who do not believe that the Messiah
.has ever come or ever will come, the Day of
Reckoning for the bigots of the world might
seem light years away.

The opposition of most liberal and radical students to American policy in Vietnam is based
primarily on two considerations: the United States
has supported a series of unrepresentative, repressive, regimes in South Vietnam and U.S. policy
in Vietnam has caused the deaths of hundreds of
thousands of civilians and turned literally millions
of Laotians, Cambodians, and South Vietnamese
into homelss, penniless refugees.
In response to U.S. policy, liberal students helped
organize the Kennedy-McCarthy campaigns of 1968
and the historic Moratorium in October 11)69.
Although neither resulted in an end to the war, both
contributed to the growth of anti-war sentiment in
the country and thus led to important changes in
U.S. policy-an end to the bombing of North
Vietnam, the offer of a standstill cease-fire and the
current troop withdrawls. But the Nixon Administration persists in its support of Thieu-Ky and
seemingly still harbors the illusory hope of military
victory.
Nixon's current Vielnamization policy is not a
people's policy-one that will lead to a negotiated
settlement to the war-rather it is a policy for a
protracted war which the Nixon administration
hopes Thieu and Ky will win. We have no choice
then but to continue our work for a change in U.S.
policy for a democratic and peaceful solution to the
war.
Many liberal students think they can do this by
participating in one or all of the demonstrations
planned for April 21-March ft. We disagree. The
groups behind these demonstrations - The Trotskyists in the National Peace Action Coalition and
the Student Mobilization Committee, and the New
Leftists (and a good number of old communists) in
the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice - are
for the withdrawal or U.S. troops from Vietnam, to
be sure. We oppose U.S. policy because we want an

To the Editor:
On Tuesday, April 20, an incident occurred during
an AM1A softball game which we feel significantly
shows the lack of organization which has plagued
this program since the start of this year.
We feel the failure of a smooth system has been
caused by the inconsistency of its director who is
Michael Yager. Without regard to the participants,
he ha8 single bandedly thrown AMIA into complete
chaos.
The incident that brings us to write this letter
happened at six o'clock yesterday afternoon when
Mr. Yager called a League 1 encounter between TXO
and Four Years After. The point of calling a game
which was set up before the season began, is a
regulation which we are in favor of, but not by a
person who was in no way involved in the game
itself. The umpire of the game did not make the
initial call; Mr. Yager used his superiority to be the
sole judge. The fact that the game started at least 1 5
minutes late was not brought to Mr. Yager's
attention, nor was he correct in assuming that it was
six o'clock, when it was really 7 minutes prior. The
game was in the next to last inning and was moving
quite fast. The umpire even said the game COULD
continue us he knew the facts and wanted to give
both teams a fair shake.
We feel Mr. Yager has not fulfilled his obligations
as the AMIA director. Since AMIA is funded by the
students, there is no reason why one mart should
put it upon himself to control the entire program.
The total disillusionment with AMIA is now in the
open and should be dealt with immediately before
the situation becomes even more intolerable.

end to the killing and the South Vietnamese people
free to choose their own destiny. Unlike most of the
leaders of the Moratorium and Kennedy-McCarthy
campaigns, they are committed to a victory of the
Vietcong which would mean more bloodshed and
the imposition of a totalitarian regime even more
brutal than the Thieu-Ky military clique.
On April 24, NPAC and the PCPJ are cosponsoring non-violent demonstrations in Washington and San Francisco. Similar demonstrations in
November 1969 and April 1970 failed, Gallop polls
showed that they had precisely the opposite effect
than intended. They failed because they convinced
no one to oppose the war but due to their politics
(intense anti-Americanism, implicit and occasional
outright support of the NLF) they did convince the
undecided and wavering to support the Administrillion in power's handling of the war. The April 24
demonstration will be no different.
Unfortunately, the demonstrations planned after
the 24th promise to be worse-much worse. The first
of these disruptive demonstrations is scheduled for
April 26-30, the second for May 3-4. The latter
will be held in conjunction with the Ann Arbor
Student and Youth Conference which will present
the "People's Peace Treaty" on May 1st. This
so-called treaty which was signed by a few American, North Vietnamese government controlled and
South Vietnamese pro-Vietcong students includes
every important demand of the NLF Front, the
Provisional Revolutionary Government of Vietnam.
Point 1 of this treaty calls on the U.S. to withdraw
its troops from South Vietnam, but it makes no
such demand of North Vietnam. Point 3 called for
an immediate cease-fire between the U.S. und the
N.L.F., but not between the NLF and the South
Vietnamese government or the anti-Communist
third force in Vietnam. Presumeably, the fighting
then will continue to the bitter end. Point 6 calls on
the Vietnamese (which Vietnamese is never made
clear) to form u provisional coalition government to
organize an election (with no international impartial
supervision) but implied that Thieu and Ky, who

Equally important, it is highly presumptuous,
dishonest, and implicitly anti-democratic for its
supportors to claim that this is a treaty between the
peoples of South Vietnam, North Vietnam, and the
United States. It is impossible to know whether or
not the people of North Vietnam agree with its
provisions since their government allows them no
democratic rights. Most Americans would reject
such an outright capitulation to North Vietnamese
NLF demands. And most authoritative sources agree
that only 15-25% of South Vietnamese want the
NLF to rule their country.
It is particularly unfortunate that these demonstrations are being held at this time. For almost
every poll shows that the anti-war movement has
finally won the battle for public opinion. Most
Americans now want the U.S. to end the war, or at
least its involvement in it as soon as possible. But
the fact that a majority of the people oppose the
war does not mean that Nixon will change his
policy. In fact, he won't unless he sees this anti-war
sentiment as a political trend. But the spring
demonstration will minimize that trend -- because
they like similar demonstrations will make many
Americans opposed to the anti-war movement than
to the war. If that happens Nixon can continue to
do what he wants in Indochina.
On the other hand, if anti-war students help build
a majority movement which can defeat Nixon in
1972, then Nixon will either have to change his
policy or face defeat in the next election. We urge
all anti-war students to join with the YPSL in
building this movement now.
You never met a pair like Butch and The Kid.
To the Editor:
Reading Miss Margiore's recent column 1 was in
agreement in ract but disappointed in the scope
Granted many of education students are not ail they
should be, however a more appropriate allegation is
many of our students are not all they could be! To
hold our education students to a narrow double
standard, subjectively configured like all norms, is
the epitome Gf the intellectual hypocrisy that
permtates the minds of those who see teacher* as a
target for pent up agression (the type of attitude
which has made the title toucher a euphemism is
circles subscribing to the anti iutellcctualism that
pervaded the Neanderthal mind).
If tile teachers of a society arc failures it is because
they are a mirror of the human collection they
represent. If <mr peers in the education programs
steal library material und plagiarize papers it is
because this sort of action runs through the ethic of
competition in our policy. Are all the pa .era in
iraternity files used by education majors? The only
library materials that are stolen pertain to educa
lion? Hardly the case in both respects.
Our luture teachers are charged with responsibility
or socializing otir children. That will be a difficult
job in Itself, but don't expect them to live up to a
standard, a standard we refuse to achieve.
Sincerely,
Peter Morici, .Jr.
won 30% of the vote in the last election, may not
participate in the election. And point 8 calls on
both the Americans and the Vietnamese to respect
the independence and neutrality of Laos and Cambodia, but since the North Vietnamese denies it has
troops in either country, accepting this provision
would mean giving Laos and Cambodia to North
Vietnam.

high-light Black Weekend's gift to
the campus music scene.
In you can grasp what it means
to be praying to God while you
play music, then you can begin to
dig up what is so captivating
about Pharoah Saunders. He can
take his sounds to the limit of
experience, where he can use his
instrument as an extension of
himself with which he can relate
his being to the world.
I'm listening to this early album
by Pharoah on the now defunct
"ESP-Disk" label. You see, it
wasn't "cool" in those days to be
into Jazz, and brilliant young
musicians would scrounge to find
bits in small clubs, in beat-up
dance halls, in bars anywhere, just
to find a place to get their music
oTf and have some people listening, loo. You bad to be good to
have record companies want to
cut your stuff for public consumption. Pharoah was good, and
got better.
So the man joins up with the
Coltrane family, and begins
making his presence felt on the
contemporary jazz scene. Now
he's working with the finest; John
and Alice on horn and piano
r e s p e c t i v e l y , McCoy Tyner
making sure those keyboards
never got cold, Ray Carter backing things up with a fine job on
bass, and Elvin Jones rounding
things out with bis masterful and
steady percussion work.
A few albums and some great
moments later, Pharoah emerges
as a true virtuoso at Sax. He has
his own band to do it wiLh how

But bear in mind that Pharoah has

The New Lean/Bolt Failure
by Tom Quigley
Gordon Lightfoot will appear in
concert at the R.P.I. Field House
on Saturday May 1 at 8:00 p.m.
as part of the Interfraternity
Council Weekend on the R.P.I,
campus.
Those people fortunate enough
to secure tickets for this performance will have a real treat in store
as Gordon Lightfoot, alternating
between the full, silvery sound of
his 12 string guitar and that of his
six string, will present a succession
of delights during the two hour
concert. Lightfoot will be accompanied by the stimulating guitar
of Red Shea, ami the workmanlike bass of Rick Haynes.
Lightfool's voice is one of those
unique voices thai defy mimicry.
This is partly because his voice
and his material are expressively
inextricable, in the fine way that
you expect a lead singer to interpret an art song.
Saturday, May 1 will be the
highlight of area entertainment
with the sumptuous blend of
three guitars and Lightfool's fervid, muscular voice almost coloring the air various shades of blue.
It is beyond comprehension as
to the real reason that Director
David Lean and scenarist Robert
Bolt continue to attract large
adoring droves of moviegoers to
their films. Their reputation for
producing "clean" epics became
secure with the great financial
successes of LAWRENCE OF
ARABIA and DR. ZHIVAGO.
Unfortunately the Lean-Bolt combination may only stand for instant money for they have yet to
prove that they can make a movie
worth sitting through.
Their latest and most inept collaboration of literary pretentions
and phallic symbolism is entitled
RYAN'S DAUGHTER a movie
that, frame for frame, is most
notable for its overproduced,
widescreen, panoramic emptiness.
It also confirms the tragic suspicion that David Lean's once
dominant force as a major film
director has all but dwindled to
the adjustment of F-stops on
those huge Mitchell cameras.
Lean's eye for detail does manage to bring back and element
sorely lacking from today's films:
visual beauty. In their past efforts
Lean and Bolt have relied upon
the genius of Frederick A. Young
B.S.C., one of Britain's most accomplished cinematographers, and
the formidable musical talents of
composer Maurice Jarre to gloss
over the gaps in their pithy plots.
Young comes through once again
and it would take a purblind idiot
to call down critical wrath upon
those images of majestic, cloud
swept mountains and the white,
western Ireland beaches contrasted with the blue-green ocean
breakers. Maurice Jarre, however,
has written an overblown score
that consists of one theme repeated over and over in numerous,
thinly disguised variations.
Bolt is one of the most pompous,
over-theatrical bores who has ever
tried to foist a pretentious, literary script on an unsuspecting
audience. He seems to have no
concept of pacing or movement
within a plot because his dull little
forty-five minute story unreels at
a rate of speed calculated to lull
any victim of chronic insomnia to
sleep.
Rosy Ryan, daughter of an
I.R.A. pubowner in Northern Ireland, falls in love and marries
Shaughnessy the town schoolteacher. Shaughnessy's age prevents him from cutting the erotic
mustard and Rosy pines away for
some phallic action. Along comes
a young, much decorated British
war hero and to everyone's surprise he and Rosy commit some
splendid adultry. Flesh out what
little you have with a gruff old
priest, a grotesque town cretin,
some energetic villagers and a
wretchedly developed subplot involving an incredibly bumbling
group of I.R.A. revolutionaries,
and you have the soap opera
behind RYAN'S DAUGHTER.
Sarah Miles is charming in the
very substantial and well acted
role of Rosy. Robert Mitchum is
awkwardly miscast but does his
best u the gentle schoolteacher.
Christopher Jones betrays the fact
that he isn't British by hardly
speaking. When he does though he
is surprisingly good as the stiff
British officer. John Mills' performance as Michael, the town idiot,
has been gathering unnecessary
overpraise from other critics and,
indeed, won him an Academy
Award over the much better performances by Chief Dan George
and Gene Hackman. Mills is a
1
great actor but the role seems to
cruelly exploit the handicapped
for entertainment values which is
deplorable. It is Trevor Howard as
the gruff old alcohol prone priest
who steals top honors in the
supporting roles.
Lean and Bolt can no longer
fool moviegoers with the fantasy
that they are "important" film
makers. Financially ailing M.G.M.
teamed-up these two men to cash
in on their commercial appeal. If
by chance they produced anything worthwhile along thy way it
was incidental just so long as that
greedy lion could gobble up the
profits. What the lion has swallowed whole is David Lean's integrity and proven that three hours
of any oversimplified nothing like
RYAN'S DAUGHTER is deadly.
Ear to the Thunder
by Arlenc Scheurer
Shiloh (Amos AAS 7015) is the
name of a very efficient rock
group and the name of their record. The recording is good and
the group sounds together enough.
The lead guitarist is pretty energetic. There is not, however, a great
deal of originality or group sound.
I wouldn't waste my money on it.
The 5th Dimension's album
Love's Linen, Angles and llhymes
(Bell 6060} is exceptionally good.
Well, commercial it is, but
superior commercial music at
least. There are few groups of any
kind that can play with the consistency of the 5th Dimension at
such an entertaining level. There is
a good deal of variety, and liveliness and thier fans will love it.
The queer cover will get you too.
John Mayall's new double album
Back to the Roots (Polydor
25-3002) is the best rock album
I've heard this year. Mayall is a
superior talenl both at the keyboard and on the harmonica. He
also has an affinity for light blues
singing. The most interesting thing
about this ablum is the reunion
idea. He has a lot of his old
cohorts back again. So Erie Clapton returns to play some beautiful
guitar solos on "Force of Nature"
and "Goodbye December." So
Johnny Almond plays some
hearty tonor and full throated
flute. So Sugar Cane Harris plays
some violin with such fire that
Smokey The Bear would run for
his life. A rock record collection
without this album would be like
Lib»race missing his two front
teeth.
Oscar Brand has two recent albums, one called Brand X (Rouletle SR-'l2060). The other, is Live
(Kapp KS-;)624). Brand X is full
of the filthiest lyrics imaginable
and the words alone turned the
stomach of a hardy friend of
mine. But they are also quite
funny. And Brand is a folk singer
extraordinaire-a fact that is very
evident in both albums. His more
folksy humor is displayed in Live
which was recorded on the campus of Mac Donald College.
Brand's voice is big and vibrant. It
actually swells forth and then
thins out and once again pours
out all very appropriately in accordance with the feeling he is
trying to portray. He leaves the
listener overcome, und physically
exhausted.

Poor Student Turnout Decried
Legislature "Congratulates' 1 Israel
by Bob Warner
"11 would a p p e a r t h a t t h e p r o b l e m of Soviet J e w r y is n o t o n e t h a t
captures t h e imagination of S U N Y A s t u d e n t s t h e way that a V i e t n a m
War with Calleys d o e s , " said Paul Nobes, o n e of t h e hundred o r so
s t u d e n t s w h o staged an all-night vigil a t t h e Capitol for Soviet J e w r y .
D i s a p p o i n t m e n t and anger characterized t h e a t t i t u d e s t o w a r d s t h e
University of m o s t of t h e poeple at t h e march and vigil. Although
I26H s t u d e n t s signed u p for t h e meal fast and u p t o 2 5 0 s t u d e n t s
partially p a r t i c i p a t e d in t h e march a n d / o r vigil, t h e a p a t h y of t h e
university c o m m u n i t y seemed t o h u r t t h e people w h o were " t o t a l l y "
involved. Said Barry Silverlvrg, the leader of the Student Coalition for
Soviet J e w r y , " W e e x p e c t e d a c a m p u s response in p r o p o r t i o n t o t h e
III,0(H) s t u d e n t s mi c a m p u s , especially the ,'1000 Jews...ll is my feeling
that my fellow students at S l a t e have proved once again their
compatibility t o Phil O c h ' s song ' L o v e Me I'm a L i b e r a l . " '
Steve Shaw also felt thai t h e university's professed liberalism was
sheer h y p o c r i s y . " O n c e again student apathy has shown itself. Albany
Stale, t h e so-called liberal-oriented university, is e x t r e m e l y h y p o c r i t ical for its lack of s y m p a t h y with h u m a n i t y , " h e said.
But t h e spirit of those w h o did stay at t h e Capitol steps for t h e
2-1-hour vigil was s u p e r b . As Barry Silverberg said: " Those of us w h o
coordinated
t h e march and vigil and those w h o came along with us
c o m p e n s a t e d for the d i s a p p o i n t m e n t of t h e t u r n o u t . "
S o these studenl.s and m e m b e r s of A l b a n y ' s Jewish c o m m u n i t y
danced, sang, and rapped through t h e night. A few A s s e m b l y m e n and
Senators c a m e o u t a n d s p o k e , either formally o r informally. S e n a t o r
Marchi ( R e p u b l i c a n , S t a t e n Island) delivered a brief address, while
A s s e m b l y m a n S e y m o u r Posner ( D e m o c r a t , B r o n x ) rapped with a few
s t u d e n t s well i n t o t h e night. Even Mayor Corning s h o w e d u p t o say a
few words,
Part of t h e aetivites beside those m e n t i o n e d included a playlet o n
the Holocaust, Dennis Prager, reading names of t h e victims of Nazi
genocide, a n d services. A t the vigil's peak, 3f>00 people, mostly from
the c o m m u n i t y , c a m e Lo participate.
Yesterday a f t e r n o o n while the vigil c o n t i n u e d from t h e night before,
the S t a l e Legislature passed a resolution " c o n g r a t u l a t i n g t h e governm e n t and t h e people of t h e S t a t e of Israel u p o n t h e twenty-third
anniversary of t h e creation of t h e S t a l e of Israel ;is a free and
independent n a t i o n . " T h e resolution, which was passed c o n c u r r e n t l y
by both t h e S e n a t e and the Assembly, called Israel the " c h a m p i o n of
the cause of freedom, h u m a n dignity, and jusi pea
T h e Assembly version of t h e resolution wa
nsored by 75
Assemblymen which is exactly half of thai I
m o s t of the
sponsors wen- D e m o c r a t s .
T h e Assembly also passed a resolution "designating April twentysecond, n i n e t e e n h u n d r e d seventy-one as Warsaw G h e t t o ' s M a r t y r ' s
Day in h o n o r of t h e m e m o r y of t h e valiant Jews w h o fought t h e
battle df t h e Warsaw G h e t t o . " T h e resolution cited the d e s p o t i s m of
the Nazis: " W h e r e a s , In 19-11) t h e Nazis established t h e infamous
Warsaw G h e t t o in such city and brutally, cruelly and craven!y
confined a half million Jews in t h e G h e t t o ; and Whereas, In 194:1 the

The Senate is e x p e c t e d lo approve t h e same resolution next Monday.
Approximately 7 5 people m a r c h e d from Darper Hall t o the Capitol t o participate in a 2 4 hour vigil for
