I would like to take the opportunity to protest a
situation which has existed far too long: force fed
fizz-ed. The fact is that here at SUNYA, a forward
looking University, I am told, one year of "Physical
E d u c a t i o n " courses is still required of everyone. I
write this letter today in the hope that this issue
may be aired publicly, and that my unpleasant
experiences may not be visited upon others.
I registered for the introductory "Foundations of
Physical Education" course in August. On October
llh, I decided not to attend my fizz ed. class
because the prospect of running a mile nauseated
me, as had the previous classes. It was at that point
that I decided not to attend another Phiz. Ed, class
ever again knowing full well that the possibility
existed that I might not graduate in H)7.'l, as a
consequence. 1 have always had an aversion to fizz,
ed. I am generally turned off by militaristic tendencies, conformity and regimentation, and I have seen
those characteristics represented and encouraged, in
every Phiz. Ed. course I have taken i n c l u d i n g the
one offered here at SUNYA. I managed to endure
the course for one month and I resented being told
to run at the sound of a whistle, jump on cue, and
perform figure eights. I was somewhat surprised at
the attitude of one coach in particular who did not
hide his distaste for the long hair worn by my friend
and I.
When the " C u r e " proposal was passed last year,
one festering, fizzling sore remained untreated. Just
as I d o n o t believe that the Marine Corps builds
m e n , I d o not believe that one year of fizz. ed. will
make me a healthier, better person. I am quite
pleased with my decadence, thank you, if the folks
d o w n al the gym would choose to call it that. I
would never suggest that Phys. Ed. is totally
worthless and should be abolished entirely. 1 d o
suggest that it is time to remove the one remaining
required course from the undergraduate SUNYA
curriculum. The Phys. Ed. requirement should he
abolished. It should he made voluntary for all. Now.
Sincerely,
Frank M. Borzilleri '7:1

"IS THIS THE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY WE'RE DYING- FOR?"
Once Again, Duty Calls
by Robert Mayer
An ASP Column
Chicago, Kent and Jackson State,
Washington stadium, San Quentin,
and Attica.
The answer is n o t silence, it is
not acceptance, it is action. Action that goes far b e y o n d inner
sentiment or revolutionary rhetoric. T o b e silent would o n l y mean
that those w h o perpetuate injustice, and hold suffering dear, have
squashed all resistance and have
succeeded in furthering
their
ways. That is precisely their goal,
to shut us up, t o keep us preoccupied and that is what w e mu;;l
refuse to comply with. If w e are
going to the universities t o be
manufactured into s o m e product,
if w e live only for n e x t week's
exams, grad school, or week-end
parties, we have adopted t h e very
sickness that is d e s t r o y i n g this
country. If this is what w e a r e at
school for then w e can n o t lie t o
ourselves, w e must admit t h a t
being here is bullshit. On the
other hand, if we are here t o learn
real truths, distinguish between
right and wrong, and then act
with the knowledge we hold, then
our preserve here is justified.
We have arrived at a point where
discussion and thought a m o n g
young people concerning student
protest evokes feelings o f nostalgia, apathy, and in s o m e instances,
resentment. The reasons for this
are often heard, "well it doesn't
do anything," or "for years w e
demonstrated and the war still
goes o n , " These sentiments are
real and I d o n o t mean t o question their validity. However t h e
consequence o f this thinking has
resulted in a very costly mistake.
Apathy is a luxury that only the
ignorant and heartless can afford.
If w e as y o u n g people accept it
like our predecessors did, we can
by n o means expect t o build a
better world. The innocence that
one assumes becomes sinful and
instead o f seeking an answer w e
only serve t o further injustice. We
marched, sang petitioned, canvassed, talked, screamed, fought,
and some gave their lives for an
ideal that w e were drawn t o because something inside said we
must. For our humanistic and

One of t h e greatest social problems facing u s t o d a y is l h e loss of
h u m a n and e c o n o m i c resources
through traffic accidents, a n d il is
lo ibis fact which I address this
brief art icle. Unless a major breakthrough in Hie n u m b e r of secondary school pupils w h o g r a d u a t e

Famous U.S. Women SHTeim Diet
During the non-snow off season the U.S. Women's
Alpine Ski Team members go on the "Ski Team" diet
to lose 20 pounds in two weeks. That's right—20
pounds in 14 days! The basis of the diet is chemical
food action and was devised by a famous Colorado
physician especially for the U.S. Ski Team. Normal
energy is maintained (very important!) while reducing. You keep "full"-no starvation-because the diet
is designed that way! It's a diet that is easy to follow
whether you work, travel or stay at home.
This is, honestly a fantastically successful diet. If it
weren't, the U.S. Women's Ski Team wouldn't be permitted to use it! Right? So, give yourself the same
break the U.S. Ski Team gets. Lose weight the scientific, proven way. Even if you've tried all the other
diets, you owe it to yourself to try the U.S. Women's
Ski Team Diet. That is, if you really do want to lose
20 pounds in two weeks. Order today. Tear this out
as a reminder.
Send only $1.00(51.25 for Rush Service)-cash is
O.K.-to: Ski Team Diet, P.O. Box 15493, San
Diego, Calif. 92115. Don't order unless you expect
to lose 20 pounds in two weeks! Because that's
what the Ski Team Diet will do!

ALBANY STUDENT PRESS
Mr. and Mrs. John Lennon in Syracuse
by Steve Aminoff
The following
is the
transcript
of one of the best press
conferences
I've ever heard or read
about. My preconceived
notions
about
what
such a
gathering
would be like were very strong as
I entered
the gorgeous
Eversbn
Museum in Syracuse. I was taken
aback by not only the
opulence
with which food and
cocktails
were served, but the scene of the
reception
before the actual
conference. It struck me to be something out of one of those radical
chic parties, complete

very much
included).
John and Yoko
were in good
spirits as they entered the theatre
section of the museum, where the
meeting was to be held. I managed
to ask how they felt, and John
said, "Nervous,
as usual."
They
sat down, talked to each other for
a while and John sang a little "Is
everybody happy? You betcha life
we are?" instead of the
customary
"Testing
1...2...3...-1..."
Some
courtesy
poses for the
cameras,
and we're ready to begin:
Y O K O : Hello. T h a n k you very
much for coming t o d a y . Most
people probably had to c o m e
d o w n from New York all the way
to here and I'm very grateful for
that.
Many
people
would
probably q u e s t i o n w h y we're doing an art show anyway in a
m u s e u m , you k n o w , because the
art world is supposed t o be dead
and especially the museum scene
is a dead scene. And, n o w , when
the whole world is in such crisis,
why should we be doing an art
s h o w in a museum'.' People are
starving in the East and all t h a t
and it seems like a silly thing t o
do.
JOHNi Nonetheless, my dear,
YOKO*. I t h o u g h t of t h a t , t o o . I
was wondering why I'm still an
artist, why I still consider myself
an artist when m y friends are
taking guns and ready to fight the
establishment
and
trying
to
change t h e world as violent revolutionaries.... And then I really
found myself thinking that I really d o n ' t go for d e s t r u c t i o n . I'd
like t o change the world t o o , but I
d o n ' t w a n t t o take a gun t o d o it
And m a n y of us, especially o u r
generation, people are very imp a t i e n t . Peace is n o t gonna c o m e
unless all the violent feeling in the
world are c o m p l e t e l y gone and
that s o u n d s like an idealistic, optimistic idea, b u t it can be d o n e .
Peace is n o t a formal s u b s t a n c e .
You c a n ' t just have peace on a
surface. You have to dispense
with all violent feelings. T h e first
t i m e a child learns a b o u t a feeling
is when he starts saying, " M o m my,
mommy,"
and
mommy
d o e s n ' t answer him. T h e n he

starts to hit m o m m y . T h a t ' s the
first violence t h a t h e learns and
that's because he c a n ' t c o m m u n i cate with his m o m m y and the
same thing with e v e r y b o d y . All of
us has a d e s p e r a t e need for
c o m m u n i c a t i o n . And I think this
world n o w has t w o classes. One is
the class t h a t can c o m m u n i c a t e .
T h e o t h e r is the class that can't
c o m m u n i c a t e for o n e reason or
a n o t h e r . T h e y think the people
w h o can c o m m u n i c a t e are people
who
are
privileged.
They're
talented and t h e y ' r e different. In
this s h o w here, I'd like t o prove
the fact that you d o n ' t need
talent to be an artist. Artist is just
a frame of m i n d . A n y b o d y can be
an
artist
and
anybody
can
c o m m u n i c a t e if t h e y ' r e desperate
e n o u g h . T h e r e ' s n o such thing as
imagination of artists. Imagination
would c o m e o u t of necessity.
Even the best art.sit, if they d o n ' t
have the d e s p e r a t i o n , they would
be dried up and they won't have
any imagination. S o , there is n o
talent, n o professionalism, (here's
no nothing. All you have t o d o is
to be yourself.
This m u s e u m .show is a show
thai you will see of a very untalcnled artist w h o is just desperate for commitment ion. I h o p e
you will, after seeing this s h o w .
realize y o u r o w n bag and start
communicating
because
total
c o m m u n i c a t i o n e q u a l s peace and
t h a t is what I think ;n lists can si ill
do
to
change
the
world.
(Applause).
J O H N : My s t a t e m e n t
is, 'I
agree. ' T h a n k you.
i-REHS: Y o k o , Is il possible to
have a world without anxiely,
without
fear,
without
hatred
through communication?
Y O K O : Yes, definitely. But you
see, t h e c o m m u n i c a t i o n media is
getting m o r e and m o r e developed,
b u t n o t yet. People are thinking,
"Well, they d o n ' t have the cont r o l , " so they'll give il u p , bul we
have to find m a n y ways of
c o m m u n i c a t i o n s . Just_ d o n ' I rely
on TV and radio only, There are
m a n y o t h e r ways, we can d o it.
P R E S S : Would you say thai
a n y o n e can be an artist.
Y O K O : Yes, definitely. Everyb o d y is an artist, you k n o w .
P R E S S : If I t h r e w an apple or
an egg t o the wall, can a n y b o d y
call t h a t art?
Y O K O : Yes. If t h a t q would
c o m m u n i c a t e witli s o m e b o d y , if
that would move s o m e b o d y , as
t h a t would e n c o u r a g e s o m e b o d y
else to d o s o m e t h i n g else, Anything is art if you can influence
people by it, you k n o w , and if
you can c o m m u n i c a t e yourself
with it. Yes.
P R E S S : I just w a n t to say t o
J o h n t h a t I love you very m u c h .
J O H N : Well, t h a n k y o u .
P R E S S : Mow d o y o u c o m p a r e
film making with o t h e r forms of
media?
Y O K O : I moan, it's the s a m e
thing, you k n o w . I tbuik t h a t the
message is t h e m e d i u m , n o t the
o t h e r way a r o u n d .
P R E S S : Where would y o u place
the a u d i e n c e in all this?
YOK*0: We're all a u d i e n c e and
w e ' r e all artists you k n o w . I d o n ' t
believe in just showing a l u m p of
s o m e s t o n e or s o m e t h i n g and that
this is art work, a p p l a u d i n g s o m e
sort of narcissism of the artist. I
believe in c o m m u n i c a t i n g in a
sense of allowing o t h e r people t o
have experience.
P R E S S : Why have you chosen
the Everson m u s e u m as y o u r place
of c o m m u n i c a t i n g ?
Y O K O : I'm just very overwhelmed by the m u s e u m itself
and I think Jim Harris was very
c o u r a g e o u s in taking a c h a n c e on
me.
J O H N : T h e y ' r e in a week's time,
is t h a t right? T h e film s h o w is in a
week's time and the w o m a n w h o
was surprised by the titles of
t h e m , she has n o t h i n g to worry
a b o u t . " E r e c t i o n " m e a n s the erection of a hotel.
Y O K O : And rape is a conceptual race. I m e a n , if the woman thought (hat she had to hide
her catalogue from her children,
then I d o n 'I k n o w whal she's
doing with newspapers every day,
you k n o w , because there's lots of
things in papers Ilia I you c a n ' t ,
thai you have lo hide t h e m .
P R E S S : How do you feel aboul
s o m e o n e like Charlie Manson he
iug encouraged by this and calling
it his way of c o m m u n i c a t i n g ?
Y O K O : Whal y o u ' r e saying is.
"Well, there are some people who
got hurt with the knife, you
k n o w . They nil their fingers with
knives so let's s t o p making knives,
let's s t o p producing knives,
P R E S S : Whal is your response
to those b y p r o d u c t s ?
J O H N : Keep making knives.
P R E S S : Who has influenced you
the most'.'
Y O K O : Oh everlhing the sun,
the stars, the m o o n . Everything
has influenced me.
P R E S S : One of the
artists
you've
worked
with,
Frank
Zappa, almost ridicules the idea of
world love. What was it like working with Zappa?
J O H N: Fran k Zappa is a very
sensitive artist and whatever sort
of image he puts out is sorl of
black, inverted political reasons
but it's also for a laugh t o o , you
k n o w , I mean but he's a serious
artist, t o o , I mean, he was beautiful, you k n o w , b u t we performed
with him and we enjoyed it very
much.
P R E S S : How d o e s Y o k o overturn the image of J a p a n e s e women being so subservient, you
k n o w , washing your teeth and all
the rest of it.
Y O K O : I never t h o u g h t of
J a p a n e s e women as such so I
w o u l d n ' t k n o w , you know. It's a
kind of J a p a n e s q u e image that the
Westerns would have, p r o b a b l y ,
h u t I never t h o u g h t of it from
that angle. I think t h a t American
w o m e n are p r e t t y subservient,..
J O H N : T h e J a p a n e s e in ihc past
had a c o m p l e t e l y female d o m i nated society. I d o n ' t k n o w w h a t
h a p p e n e d t o it, b u t it was p r e t t y
good when t h e y had it.
Y O K O : It's still d o m i n a t e d by
w o m e n in a way...if I could express s o m e t h i n g I've seen in y o u ,
John.
P R E S S : Y o k o , J o h n , may I express s o m e t h i n g ? Do you believe
that bi-sexuality is t h e natural
state, and that people just repress
their feelings? ( L a u g h t e r ) .
JOHN:
You've
been
seeing
things. E v e r y o n e ' s got their o w n
hag, right?
P R E S S : Were you angry or were
you sad when you w r o t e ' H o w D o
You S l e e p ? '
J O H N . Both. " H o w Do You
S l e e p " started off in a m o r e abstract form a year and a half ago
and then it just s o r t of formed
itself t h r o u g h anger and sadness.
It's sort of like an o u t b u r s t . . . a n d
my o u t b u r s t in song, n o t any o t h e r
media at the m o m e n t , unless
y o u ' r e into (browing eggs a r o u n d .
P R E S S : Why is this y o u r first
show?
M A N A G E R : I really think t h e r e
is a w o m a n ' s p r o b l e m . In my o w n
past d e v e l o p m e n l . I got my own
ethical ion and in t e r m s of the
m u s e u m scene in the c o u n t r y ,
ihey are totally unfair.
Y O K O : I have foil the pain of
being a w o m a n in this society.
P R E S S : Is there any religious
influence thai has affected y o u r
art, such as yoga?
Y O K O : Not yoga so m u c h , I'd
say Zen Buddhism has influenced
me greatly,
P R E S S : lias the feelings which
inspired you to write, " I s o l a t i o n "
changed?
J O H N : Well, Y o k o and I slill
feel (he same. Y o k o helped m e
with thai song, " I s o l a t i o n " but
the credit was s o m e h o w misol'l
d\.w to chauvinism, p r o b a b l y on
my part. Occasionally, of c o u r s e , I
feel
difficulty
on
my
part.
Occasionally I feel isolated, sometimes I d o n ' t . But I'm like everybo d y
else:
Ha p py sad
isolated e v e r y b o d y
loves m e
e v e r y b o d y hated me I love everyb o d y I bate e v e r y b o d y . S a m e as
a n y b o d y else.
P R E S S : S o m e people have mentioned you as the British Dylan...
J O H N : I'm n o t the British anything.
P R E S S : J o h n , could you relate
y o u r feelings on Attica?
J O H N : Attica was just a disgusting
piece
of
fascism,
(Applause).
P R E S S : What's the best way to
communicate?
Y O K O : It's all good. We try to
c o m m u n i c a t e on every level.
J O H N : In (Hi positions.
PRKSS: What was y o u r relationship with Dr. Janol'f and b o w long
did y o u stay witli h i m ?
J O H N : It was a c o u p l e of
m o n t h s , T h e r a p y for m e had
s o m e t h i n g . It was a hit musical for
me. T h e t h e o r y was a bit h o k u m
p o k u m . It's becoming a religion
and h e ' s b e c o m i n g tike a god or
something.
PRESS: T o o commercial?
J O H N : C o m m e r c i a l isn't necessarily a d i r t y word for m e . He had
his t h e o r y a n d his t h e r a p y and it
w o r k e d well e n o u g h t o have m e
here a n d n o t at h o m e .
P R E S S : Which a l b u m has given
you t h e m o s t satisfaction?
J O H N : I get t h e m o s t satisfaction o u t of a n y ulbum I'm doing
NOW.
P R E S S : I'd like t o wish J o h n a
happy birthday.
P R E S S : H o w would y o u teach a
child t o c o m m u n i c a t e ?
Y O K O : You d o n ' t have to teach
children—they k n o w .
J O H N : Children d o n ' t learn
c o m m u n i c a t i o n ; t h e y unlearn it
gradually t h r o u g h the s y s t e m . My
o w n child looked at s o m e of the
art in o u r h o m e and u n d e r s t o o d it
on his o w n child-like level.
P R E S S : John, what was the thing
t h a t caused you to b e c o m e radicalized?
J O H N : It's when did I not bec o m e radical a n d find myself
again. I was always a radical because I was always getting i n t o
trouble—that was radical e n o u g h ,
w h e t h e r il was school or s o c i e t y w h a t e v e r il was. During the Beatle
