Eco-Commandos Take First Prize!
Ecotage - reprisals against environmental pollutersrepresents an increasingly popular form of protest.
So popular, in fact, that on February 11 of last
year, an ecotage contest was announced. Of 750
entries submitted, one emerged as a first prize
winner: a group from Miami called the Eco-Commando Force '70.
The following description of the activities of the
Eco-Commandos is taken from Ecotage!. Ecotage! is
an environmental action book published by Pocket
Books, edited by David Obst and Sam Love, and
costs SI.25.
On the morning of Wednesday, A p r i l 22, 1970, as
an estimated 20 million Americans were preparing
t o take part in Earth Day activities across the
c o u n t r y , a y o u n g landscape architect i n Miami
rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and painfully arose,
His body ached, and he was covered w i t h mosquito
bites. His arms and legs were scratched, and his
hands were a sickly shade o f yellow. He groaned,
slowly got dressed, and went to work.
In other parts o f t o w n , four other young men and
women woke up in similar states o f discomfort,
dressed and slowly made their way to their jobs.
Unbeknownst to their co-workers and even their
families, these five were members o f a clandestine
guerrilla organization which had just launched one
ot the most bizarre assaults in American history.
The night before, the five had successfully attacked
six serage treatment plants and t w o motels in the
Miami vicinity.
The secret organization that masterminded the
p l o t was called Eco-Cannando Force '70 • and it was
one of the most unorthodox and unusual guerrilla
organizations the world had ever seen. Its members
espoused no one political philosophy. They did not
carry weapons and they abhorred the use of
violence. Their enemies were those who pollute or
allow the continued pollution of southern Florida,
their tactics were aimed at educating the local
population, and their [foal was the protection o f the
environment.
On the night of April 2 l s t , five of the EcoCommandoes had left a secret base in Coconut
Grove and driven to a nearby sewage treatment
plant, parking their ears a safe distance away.
Dressed all in black, they had quietly scaled a fence,
nick past a sleepy guard and entered the dimly-lit
plant. Each then had made directly for one of the
huge sewage tanks and had lobbed in a " b a n b "
containing a powerful hut harmless yellow dye.
With military precision, they had regrouped, left
the plant and scurried for the fence. Then, only
seconds away from freedom, disaster nearly struck.
The fence bent under the weight of one o f the
commandoes, the guard was awakened, and he
called the police. As the five had reached their two
cars and begun to drive away, they were confronted
by a state trooper. The two commando autos each
went a different direction, and when the trooper
caught up with one of them, all he found was a
couple parked by the side of the road, locked in ;i
heavy embrace.
Undaunted by their near-capture, the guerrillas
had regrouped and repeated their attacks on five
other sewage plants and topped o f f the campaign by
flushing dye d o w n the toilets o f the Howard
Johnson Motor Lodge and the A i r p o r t Cross ways
I n n , t w o motels which have their own small sewage
treatment facilities. They had than notified the
press and gone home.
Next morning, the reason behind the attack
became clear. Half of Dade County's notoriously
polluted canals had turned bright yellow from tlu;
dye - and they stayed that way for most o f the day.
The
predictions
and warnings of
the Eco-Commando Force '70 were proven correct. The dye
did not float oul of the canals and into the ocean,
And if the dye d i d n ' t , then the sewage certainly
d i d n ' t , either.
Vol. LIX No. 7
For a country which was o n l y taking the first few
rudimentary steps towards educating itself about
environmental problems, the Eco-Commando Force
'70 of Miami was amazingly sophisticated. Its
members had analyzed some o f the environmental
problems of the area and chosen one which was
severe enough to warrant attention, yet localized enough to
yield to pressure. They has devised an approach
which was harmless enough not to antagonize the
citizenry, graphic and daring enough to arouse
interest, and serious enough to em harass local
officials. They has consulted their lawyer beforehand. Their timing was perfect. And they had
cultivated an excellent relationship w i t h the press.
Best of all, the Eco-Commandoes had hit upon a
spectacular strategy. They remained anonymous t o
create an' aura o f mystery. They nourished their
guerrilla image so that no one was able t o guess at
their strength. And they were able to "raise the
stakes" o f the conflict by hovering at the fringes o f
illegal activity. As one of the commandoes noted to
a reporter some months later, " A l t h o u g h we have
committed a couple of misdemeanors - mostly
trespass - we consider the risks worthwhile. Our
crimes are miniscule compared to the hundreds of
crimes that are being eommiteed daily on our
environment. We honestly believe we are fighting
for our lives."
After the April 21 si raid, the Eco-Commandoes
disappeared from sight. Local officials had been
annoyed and embarrassed by the action, but they
did not expect more trouble and were confident
that the guerrillas would not he hard t o track d o w n
if the situation demanded it. On both counts they
were mistaken.
On the morning of .July 1th, a day on which Dade
County's beaches are traditionally packed w i t h
residents and tourists, early risers were stunned to
find bright red, official warning signs posted. The
signs, never before noun on Florida beaches, said:
DANGER
POLLUTED
NO FISHING
NO SWIMMING
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONCENTRATIONS OF
PATHOGENIC BACTERIA HAVE BEEN FOUND AT OR
NEAR THIS LOCATION. SWIMMERS AND FISHERMEN
RISK INFECTION AND DISEASE.
DO NOT REMOVE THIS NOTICE
Dade County officials were furious at the deed
and hastily removed the H00 signs from four major
beaches, but thousands of holiday fun-and-sunseekers had been jolted by the signs. The EcoCommandoes' Communique No 2 was even more
strongly worded than their first.
"Many Miamians will feel themselves i'u-onven
lenced by our actions," II said " D o nol direct your
"Our crimes are miniscule compared to the hundreds of crimes that are being committed
daily on our environment. We honestly believe we are fighting for fighting for our lives,"
T o emphasize their demonstration the attackers
issued the following press release, wl; • eh they called
Communique No. I :
" A s part of the celebration of Earth D a y , " H said.
"Eco-Commando Force '70 this morning attacked a
number of sewage treatment plants and businesses
which are polluting Dade County's streams and
canals. A harmless, bright yellow dye was placed at
the discharge points of the plants, and, where
possible, in the plants themselves. The dye patches
will show what happens to the sewage that is
dumped into our waterways. I f the dye is not
carried very far downstream from the plants, residents should be warned of possible dangerously high
concentrations of pollutants due to lack of streamflow.
"Dade County citizens need not worry about this
attack - unless their d r i n k i n g water turns y e l l o w . "

"When these signs are taken d o w n , which they will

polluted, no less dangerous It will be dangerous In
fish or swim in the Miami area until we have
adequate sewage treatment facilities. Until then, for
your own safety, we urge Dade County residents to
take their children to swimming pools instead of the
beach. We urge tourists to go to the Bahamas or the
Caribbean Islands where the water is clean "
The Communique also documented its pollution
claims, recounting the press accounts of swimmers
" b u m p i n g into" floating lumps of human feces, and
explained how Dade officials arrived at safe pollution levels by waiting for the best wind and tides
because of pressure from tourist hotels.
The Independence Day raid caused a much greater
stir than the first raid for it struck at the heart o f
Miami's economy. County Manager Hoke Welch
dismissed the pollution warnings as " c o n t r a r y to
f a c t , " but he would no elaborate further to the
press. Dade County Sheriff E. Wilson Purdy was
instructed to arrest the Eco-Commandoes, but he
was unable to specify a charge, much less to find the
guerrillas.
By now, the Eco-Commando Force '70 was
beginning to acquire a national reputation for
imagination, a sense of the spectacular, political
perceptiveness and a Robin Hood-like wiliness. True
to style, however, the Force went underground,
choosing to wait for just the right moment rather
than risking overexposure and loss of effectiveness.
The right moment did not come until the middle o f
October.
On October 20th and 21st, Miami played rather
unwilling host to a federal-state water quality
enforcement conference. These conferences are
called by the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) when it feels that a locality is not proceeding
at a rapid enough pace in upgrading its water
standards and its water treatment facilities. (Back in
1970, this same task was carried o u t by the
now-defunct Federal Water Quality Administration). Although the federal government does not
aughorize coercive measures at such a conference, it
listens to the problems and promises of local
officials and attempts to instill a sense of urgency in
them. In some cases, local officials are even ablt to
persuade the EPA that they are moving as rapidly as
is "feasible" and that they should be left in peace.
The Eco-Commandoes feared that such might be the
case in Miami and they hit upon a publicity stunt
which would strengthen the hand o f the federal
authorities.

THE
DELIBERATION
Miami's sewage treatment process is among the
crudest, cheapest and most, ineffective in the country. I t consists of a plant which grinds the sewage
and a pipe which extends 12,000 feet out into the
Atlantic Ocean. Forty million gallons o f raw sewage
are pumped out daily • and since it is carried by
fresh water, it rises to the surface o f the ocean
where it is pushed about by winds and fides, Miami
officials claim it is carried out to sea by the ( l u l f
Stream, but most Floridians know better and they
have sarcastically dubbed the area around the
sewage outfall " t h e Hose B o w l . "
On the night of October 22nd, after tow missions
were aborted due to high winds, the guerrillas set
oul in a molorboal to the center of I he putrid
"Hose Goal." There, directly over the outfall pipe,
Ihey released nearly 700 scaled bottles. In each
bottle was a card which was marked " S O S . " ' on
one side and which contained an explanation of the
Ceo-Commaudo action on It

permanenl mark on the environmental movement in
the United States. Its actions have received wide
publicity, and others around the country have been
inspired to begin to take control of their own lives
and their own communities.

THE OUTCOME
We will appoint an associate or full professor to a permanent position in Puerto Riean Studies.
We will find part-time staff to teach six courses in addition t o item no. I, the equivalent to t w o full time
instructional staff.
A search committee which will be made up o f a majority of Puerto Kieans will be appointed. The search
committee will recommend up to three candidates for, the full-time position.
Adequate office space mid equipment will be provided by the University for the staff. This includes a
full-time secretary.
Graduate assistants earmarked for m i n o r i t y students will be made available to as many as possible
qualified Puerto Kican students.
The President will provide out of his discretionary funds an extra $1,000 for the support o f the office.
As soon as a bead of the program is appointed he will be charged with the responsibility for expediting
the process o f obtaining departmental status for Puerto Kican Studies.
The undersigned have pledged their support for the attainment o f this end.
It was agreed that a Puerto Kican would be appointed to the Affirmative A c t i o n Committee
immediately.
The President pledges his efforts toward obtaining a greater proportion of Puerto Kican counselors than
now exist in the EOP.
February 10, 1072
President Louis Bene/.et
Oean 1. Moyer Ihmsbergoi
Vice-President Philip Sirotkin
Interim Associate Dean Kendall Birr
The day long confrontation over Puerto Riean studies ended
dramatically when students emerged from the administration building
with what appeared to be at least a partial victory in their efforts to
get a lull lime Puerto Riean studies department operating at SUNY
Albany.
"We will appoint an associate or lull professor to a permanent
position in Puerto Riean si tidies" President Benezet pledged last night
ending a deadlock that had persisted for over ten hours.
The money will apparently come from Benezet's "contingency
funds", ;i solution which he had mentioned much earlier yesterday
The statement concluded, al least for the moment, an issue that
began when students, labeling past administration efforts "benign
neglect" presented a list of demands that they felt merited administrative action.
The demands called for establishment of an autonomous Puerto
Riean studies department by September, 1071?. office space for the
program, the appointment of Puerto [Mean's to Ihe University s
Affirmative A c t i o n Committee, the hiring o f three full Lime Puerto
Kican counselors in tin' K.O.P. office, anil the hiring ol three
professors, l w o graduate assistants, .i seereuuy, clerk, and receptionist
The crowd varied in size from a peak of one hundred lo a minimum
ol about twenty at Lhe height of the dinner hour.
The day's events began at If): 20 in the morning when a group o f
.students met with a rather nervous President Bene/.et m his office.
They demanded that he make a commitment for a full lime Puerto
Kican studies department, something they had been seeking since
I 9 6 0 . Benezet replied that s l ; 1 " ' hudgel nilhaeks, ihe hiring freeze
and a generally acute budget situation all I ml made this kind o f
commitment impossible
Nevertheless, he said lie "gave approval" to the " p r i n c i p l e " of such a
department and had called for devclopmeni of an Kthnie S l u d u . .
Center, under which such a department would come, since the day o l
his inauguration speech.
"When an administrator gets demands", he told the students, "he
must match them with capacity." A n d it was clear that " c a p a c i t y "
was rather l i m i t e d , for Benezet went on to explain: " I can't order the
payment of funds that d o n ' t exist,"
He went on to argue that a request for funding of a new program
in Puerto Kican studies was included in the most recent budget re
juesl but was cut back along with environmental studies funds.
The students, however, took issue w i t h this. " Y o u d i d n ' t ask for
funds for a Ui'W program...you asked for improvements in the one we
have ", one girl, who had obviously studied the university's budget
request , stated. Benezet. stood corrected hut said it would make little
difference since the funds were cut back anyway.
The students went on to argue thai there was some $375,000
allotted in the request, lor improvement of programs- with only
$31,000 of that money slated for Puerto Riean sludies. "What kind of
priority is t h a t ? " , one student asked.
The arguments increased in intensity and from the differences
emerged the issues that would dominate discussion throughout the
remainder of the day and into the night.
The students were on one side, arguing that the current course
offerings in Puerto Riean studies were too limited (they involve only
18 credits), that the entire university student body would benifit from
the creation of such a department, and that past committments were
being glossed over.
"1 started (taking Puerto Riean studies) in 1069", one girl complained, " a n d its already 1 0 7 2 . " She asked how much longer she
would have to wait to complete her anticipated minor.
"White students are enrolled in the program, t o o " , another student
argued.
But on the other side were Benezet and plethora of vice-presidents
and deans, claiming that funds needed for such a program were
nonexistent and that it would be unfair t o divert funds f r o m
departments whose budgets had already been sliced.
"We are left w i t h t w o possibilities" Benezet said at one point. "One
is to go out and raise money from outside sources. The other is to
take money f r o m departments taht have already been cut back."
Ami throughout the day, arguments ensued, back and forth across the
fable as both sides hammered out a compromise o n the major
demands. The issue culminated in agreement at HMfi last night when
one student t o l d o n l o o k e r s : "We are satisfied w i t h the positive action
taken on out demands..we should now move on l o leave the building
and re-schedule ourselves for actions on committtees... we must push,
push, push."

On this c a m p u s t h e r e is the Albany C h a p t e r of the Caucus on
W o m e n ' s Rights ( C O W R S ) at S U N Y . C O W R S is divided into three
s u b g r o u p s : faculty, staff, and s t u d e n t s . Last T u e s d a y afternoon the
s t u d e n t g r o u p , led b y g r a d u a t e s t u d e n t in R o m a n c e Languages,
Michaela Cosgrove, held its first meeting of the semester.
The first item on the agenda was the q u e s t i o n of what should be
d o n e a b o u t sexist r e m a r k s made on c a m p u s . There is the possibility
that the s t u d e n t group might place an ad in the ASP asking thai
a n y o n e w h o hears or is subjected to such " s e x i s t " remarks to report
t h e m . However, the p l a c e m e n t of an ad of this n a t u r e is still under
deliberation.
Also discussed was the possible investigation into t h e n u m b e r of
fellowships for women g r a d u a t e s t u d e n t s , and the n u m b e r of women
g r a d u a t e assistants that t h e r e are here, and also an investigation into
F o o d Service and its regulations regarding male and female employees.
A n o t h e r item brought to issue was the provision for women in health
service. A s t u d y is being m a d e of other schools which provide such
needs as a full time gynecologist and birth c o n t r o l .
Many UFO Sightings Reported
In East Berne and Altamont
by David R. Moyes
The possibility of the creation of n second field in w o m e n ' s studies
was brought up. Such a p r o g r a m would be interdisciplinary and would
include such d e p a r t m e n t s as English, History, A n t h r o p o l o g y , and

suggestions regarding possible courses, c o n t a c t J u n e Banner, Depart

Over the past several m o n t h s
and especially since November
11)71, there have been numerous
UFO sightings in the East Berne
and A l t a m o n t areas. Most of these
sightings have been by people of
good character, including several
law enforcement officers.
In observations as close as 75
feet the UFO made no apparent
sound and was described as heing
shaped like an inverted bowl with
an intense light o,i the underside
b) some cases smaller lights were
reported to revolve around the
much [arger intense light. UFO's

same time, these rigorous specifications were often applied unequally. A low bid on floor lamps
was rejected because the item
deviated in two ways from the
A u t h o r i t y ' s specifications. However, on the s a m e d a y , the low
bidder on desks and chests was
a w a r d e d a c o n t r a c t even though
the samples deviated in 19 ways
from the A u t h o r i t y ' s specifications.
Bids on desks and chests were
o n l y received from 2 out of 21
suppliers invited to respond. S o m e
were unable lo meet the Authority's specifications
and o t h e r s
were unable to have their samples
ready on time. Potential suppliers
were required to bid on both
desks and chests, and bids were
no I allowed for just desks or
chests. One supplier stated, "We
feel that it would be in the interest of all c o n c e r n e d that the Dorm i t o r y A u t h o r i t y permit all the
manufacturers
to bid on the

Specifications for s t u d e n t ward-

t h a t they are inexpensive and rep r e s e n t a c o n s t r u c t i o n savings. Arc h i t e c t s interviewed by the C o m mission often preferred built-in

this responsibility over t o S U N Y
which m u s t in t u r n r e q u e s t funds

S t a t e also subsidizes t h e A u t h o r i ty's d e b t service. Last year $6.4

TEHRAN, Iran AP • Thousands of Iranian villagers
were unaccounted for Thursday after a week-long
blizzard that dumped 10 to 26 feet of snow in
outlying areas after four years of drought.
Newspapers put the figure of missing persons at
6,000. Among them is a U.S. female college student
and two male companions who went mountain
climbing near Tehran on Monday.
SAIGON AP - U.S. and South Vietnamese warplanes took to the air in large numbers Thursday in
intense raids to counter increased enemy attacks in
the central and northern provinces.
Military spokesmen said U.S. Navy and Air Force
jet fighter bombers flew 85 strikes in South Vietnam, compared to a daily average of less than 10 in
the past four m o n t h s
Some observers felt the aircraft moves demonstrated Nixon's lack of confidence in the Vietnamese ability to protect departing U.S. soldiers,
although the administration has consistently claimed that Vietnamization is successful.
The show of aerial strength also raises the possibility of massive retaliation against North Vietnam
should Hanoi launch an all-out offensive.

A Separate
Peace
To the Editor:
When will they learn that our twenty-thousandth bomb
will in no sense offset the opponent's ten-thousandth?
When will they learn that once a certain level of
destruction is reached, no more bombs arc needed?
When will they learn that the building of new weapons
systems will only aggravate the strategic .inns race rather
than stop it:'
And when will they learn that the addition ol more and
more bombs to our over flowing arsenals .mIy lessens our
national security rather than increases it?

For too long this nation has suffered under the doctrine of
over-kill, the ability to destoy an enemy several times over.
Yet for what are essentially economic and political, rather
than national security reasons, the defense establishment
continues to request enormous appropriations for new
weapons systems that serve only to upset the delicate
strategic balance. The latest round in this nuclear brinkmanship was initiated by President Nixon when he proposed a
6.3 billion dollar increase in defense expenditures next year,
a move which we deplore. It will only lead to a decreaserather than an increase—in our national security
It is no exaggeration to say that the United States has
spawned a military-industrial monster that threatens to
overwhelm this country-both psychologically and financially. Since 1945 we have spent well over $1 trillion on
armaments, yet we are no more secure today than we were
two and a half decades ago. When will the militartists learn
that more spending does not automatically lead to more
security?

In the four years that muve been at this university,
I have
noticed
that this paper has allowed a great variety of opinion on a
multitude
of topics. I hope that such a policy of liberality will be able to enc o m p a s s the opinions of this article, since they are those
espoused
by a SUNYA
student, and since you are the printed expression of the

body. I therefore trust that you will find space available for
this essay; I thank
you.
I am not alone n o w ; I live. Before, I existed; n o w , I LIVE, T h e r e is

Before I entered His Lite, I q u e r i e d : What is the T r u e Way?; and
searched for the answer. I looked d o w n m a n y p a t h s arid s o m e I
followed, 1 crossed over t o others. But there is only o n e Path a n d I
never t h o u g h t that I could walk upon it. I was alone in m y search and
t h a t aloneness made the search b e c o m e a lonely o n e . I could be
ebullient externally at times, b u t m y interior felt t h a t life was only
the p r e p a r a t i o n for a nihilist d e a t h . And that realization m a d e m e
increasingly depressed...
Last t-riday, however, I decided to try a n o t h e r way to ihe Path. 1
went with a few friends lo a Christian prayer m e e t i n g in T r o y . T h e
group was young in age and we got along quite well. However, as the
night progressed, I b e c a m e increasingly aware of my separation from

Who Should Finance Private Schools?
'State ...can't avoid the consequences"
The Forum
Richard Liese, Chairman, Central Council
Private colleges a n d universities are in serious financial t r o u b l e . T h e i r
o n c e plentiful c o n t r i b u t i o n s have d w i n d l e d , and the m o n e y t h e y d o
receive in n o m a n n e r covers the spiraling costs of r u n n i n g an
educational institution. Some educators, primarily the administrators
of private i n s t i t u t i o n s feel t h a t the s t a t e and federal g o v e r n m e n t s will
have t o take an increasing share of the b u r d e n of financing the private
s c h o o l s . If such g o v e r n m e n t financing d o e s n o t b e c o m e available,
m a n y schools will have to seriously c u t back p r o g r a m s , and o t h e r s
m a y have t o close a l t o g e t h e r .
O t h e r e d u c a t o r s m a i n t a i n , however, t h a t private schools should
remain private, and t h a t to give these schools s t a t e funding would
mean that they would have t o " t a k e o r d e r s " from the s t a t e , and, in
effect, b e c o m e part of the S t a t e University s y s t e m
It
i.s with this in mind, t h e n , that we ask the q u e s t i o n : " S h o u l d
t u i t i o n s at state universities be raised in o r d e r to offset the deficits of
private s c h o o l s ? "
" initiate ...voucher system"
E d g a r B. S c h i c k , A s s i s t a n t t o t h e P r e s i d e n t
and Assistant Professor o f C e r m a n
My response to the specific q u e s t i o n asked is very
short: " N o ! "
Behind this specific q u e s t i o n of y o u r s there lies,
however, a series of more basic issues.
First of all, tuition and o t h e r fees for s t u d e n t s
enrolled in the S l a t e University will rise in the
not t o o d i s t a n t future. There i.s no d o u b t t h a t o u r
society as a vhole is beset by at least two kinds of
inflationary pressures. ( I ) T h e general e c o n o m i c
price rise affects higher e d u c a t i o n and, indeed, all of
the state governmental o p e r a t i o n s . We really cannot
I'Xpree the cojsts for t u i t i o n , l e e s , r o o m , and b o a r d ,
lo remain slalile when all of the o t h e r costs in
society
anil especially those lacing the university
itself
an- rising al close to && a year. ( 2 ) We are
also faced with a rise in e x p e c t a t i o n s on the part of
our s o c i e t y , a c o n s t a n t force in all social orders.
More people want access to higher e d u c a t i o n , in
particular, and m o r e people want the b e l t e r things
of life which they think e x p e r i e n c e in higher
education can provide
Clearly higher e d u c a t i o n
cannot stand alone in resisting these types of price
pressures
Third, the State University itself i.s seeking ways of
generating additional revenue so that it may have
additional flexibility in our e x t r e m e l y light "line
i t e m " type budget system to m a i n t a i n and to
improve the quality of the academic program It i.s
hoped that, the S t a t e Final 1 e Law can b " changed
to permit the S t a t e Univer 1 to retain s o m e of the
additional income g e n c a t i d and not have to use it
all either to back b o n d s for const ruction or to have
It deposited in the S'litlrj's general p u r p o s e I'lind. It
will be especially crucial to allow individual colleges
and universities lo initiate ways of saving m o n e y
and also to establish a p p r o p r i a t e f«'t'H, the p r o c e e d s
from both of these categories being retained pro
gram and particular student needs While no one
likes to [jay m o d e s I charges for specific services
rendered if we could lee] that we and our colleagues
in 1 his academic c o m m u n i t y were get ting w o m e
clear and definite benefil from that m o n e y (be that
111 additional Library acquisitions, more staff for the
Library to handle its needs, or hcMer m a i n t e n a n c e
of the parking lots). It would also be useful 11' we
had money to replace and improve the furnishings
in tin- C a m p u s Center and o t h e r heavily used
facilities as our student, p o p u l a t i o n increases The
ihinking of the lop offieta.; in S t a l e government
clearly is not settled on this issue
F o u r t h , il is clear that it does not make sense lo
expand expensive I'jn'i lilies on Slate University
campuses when high quality private colleges are
having difficulty in recruiting s t u d e n t s T h e answer
to this problem does not however, lie in a kind of
"price fixing" which we see in the business world as
"fair trade H e m s . " Citizens of this Stale have every
right to expect that m o d e r a t e

would also be less than the a m o u n t ol direct s l a t e

p r o v i d e the best possible education at a minimal cost. The S t a t e

the form in which it is put, this question appears to
call for an obvious " N o . " After all. the Public

T h e p r o b l e m derives from the c o m p e t i t i o n between private and public universities, a competition
which (at least for New York State) is q u i t e recent.

which lasted a b o u t fifteen m i n u t e s , Lindsay offered

encompassed n a t i o n a l , s t a t e , and local concerns.

C a n d i d a t e Lindsay, dressed modishly in a bngnt
blue shirt with wide, striped red lie. shrugged off

movement
"The

urban ills. Primarily, the saving would occur t h r o u g h
de-escalation of the war in Southeast Asia and slices
in the Pentagon budget.
When queried about Ihe draft evaders forced t o

for a plan t h a t would see returning y o u t h s serve
their c o m m u n i t i e s " for a period of t i m e with
appropriate p a y , "
And he rapped President N i x o n ' s revenue sharing
proposal as " u n d e r - f u n d e d " and "heavily c o n t r o l l e d
by state officials, m a n y of w h o m have a n t i - u r b a n
prejudices."
The Mayor w e n t on to make a pitch for m i d d l e
class voter s u p p o r t , claiming t h a t his day care
proposals, o p e n e n r o l l m e n t and free tuition policies

Instead, he p r o m i s e d to work inside ihe Democrat

this analysis, he c a u t i o n e d , did not mean he was
writing ii " b l a n k c h e c k " of e n d o r s e m e n t for either
the p a r t y ' s p l a t f o r m or its final nominees.
Lindsay also rejected a vice president ml slot with a
terse " N o ! " and a c o m m e n t thai " I ' d prefer lo go
back and finish my term as m a y o r " if such a
possibility emerged.
He eluded Ills long h m e political rival, Nelson

"Relevant Issues"
Lindsay also s p o k e oiil on a n u m b e r ol national
issues. " T h e legacy of thus nation has been Ihe
legacy of poverty and racism, a legacy that has
b e c o m e ;i cancer seen m o r e by (he p e o p l e ' s of ot her

that Ihe challenge presented by these p r o b l e m s ,

Ihe federal g o v e r n m e n t to assume m o r e of Unburden for health serviees. " I t is r i d i c u l o u s , " said
Lindsay, " t h a t a person on Social S e c u r i t y may not
earn more than $ I (jHO and t h a t the White House
Conference on the Aged asked for a m i n i m u m of

.And finally, lie put his president ml quest in
perspective; explaining lhat his campaign c o m m i t

.As many o t h e r candidates have learned, ihe hopes
of presidential aspirants fade q u i c k l y in this divided
laud where ignominy seems only an idle syllable or
poor performance away from success.
For tanned and tired J o h n Lindsay, whose I'ledg

wide open Florida primary, the acid lest is a little
over four weeks and 1-100 miles away.
Last Wednesday at a short, private press conference with representatives from the ASPand SUNYA'S Student Association New York
Mayor John V Lindsay spoke nut on a number of national, stale, and
local issues.
Brazil Scene of

the Campus Center. However, the pack of tickets for Queens was as
thick as a phone hook. Tlien I remembered that the ASP had a "ride
wanted" section on the classifieds page. I placed an ad for the
Tuesday of the week I wanted to go home. Il cost me only Scents a
word, and two hours after the paper came out, I got a call. Not only
did I get a ride home, but also a cheaper price than I've paid all year!
After all, I do live downtown; so why should 1 go uptown to use the

s l a n d i n g a n d a r e i n t e r e s t e d in a l e g a l
career, come speak with our representative
Mahler's friendship with t h e y o u n g Bruno Walter began in 1894 in
Hamburg, following a p e r f o r m a n c e of Mahler's Symphony
No. / ( the
Titun). This friendship lasted until Mahler's death in III1 1, after which
Walter gook a lonely position as almost the sole c o n d u c t o r of Mahler's
work. T h a t Walter k n e w m o r e a b o u t Mahler's c o m p o s i t i o n s than
a n y o n e else is certain. T h a t his recordings of Mahler's s y m p h o n i e s are
the m o s t definitive is p r o b a b l y true. A n d , that, when Bruno Walter
died in 1 9 6 2 , we lost t h e last link t o that mystical figure from t h e
past, is a p i t y . However
, I find at least three o t h e r recordings of
Mahler's First S y m p h o n e superior in t h e broad t e r m s of listening
pleasure and over-all u n i t y . These recordings, by Bernstein, Solti, and
Horenstein, are each different in their o w n w a y , y e t are find
renditions of a great work. T r u e , they might n o t be exactly w h a t
Mahler had in mind (only Walter knew that ), b u t where would be
t o d a y if t h e r e w e r e p e o p l e a r o u n d w h o s t i l l r e m e m b e r e d B e e t h o v e n ?
The c o n c e p t s of tempi and relative d y n a m i c s are, as clarinetist Don
Weinberg related t o m e , simply fable talk. Interpretation is an
individual c o n c e r n .
Leonard B e r n s t e i n ' s recordings of the nine Mahler s y m p h o n i e s have,
since they a p p e a r e d , b e c a m e the " o l d s t a n d - b y s , " challenging t h e
Walter r e c o r d i n g s for over-all integrity. It is t h e Bernstein recording of
the First S y m p h o n e , t h o u g h , where the big changes are. Bernstein's
version flows-rises and e b b s - with every bar. T h e finale is almost a
new w o r k a l t o g e t h e r . Here, Bernstein's exaggerated accelerandos and
r i t a r d a n d o s a d d i m m e n s e d e p t h t o an already vast work. O n e can feel
the heart sway with the New York Philharmonic as they follow
Bernstein's unusual i n s t r u c t i o n s t o t h e I d l e r , save some relatively
obscure miscues in t h e brasses a tough thing to aviod in a piece with
seven different h o r n parts, four I r u m p t s , three t r o m b o n e s , and a t u b a !
Perhaps B e r n s t e i n ' s o v c r e m o l i o n a l approach is loo m u c h , b u t it is
worth t h e t r o u b l e getting used to it.

Horenstein received a " b r a v o " performance rom the L o n d o n
S y m p h o n y a technically wonderful playing in eve y respect. And s o ,
too, did Lleorg Solti, when h e , in t h e course of hi: aim at c o m p l e t i n g
the Mahler cycle, recorded llle Mahler firsl back in 1 ilti-l. His versions
of t h e first tiiree m o v e m e n t s are very similar li Walter's, b u t t h e

Basically, there are two c h a m P i o n s n i P s : ' h e w i n n e r s of each
league will receive a t r o p h y and
the best overall t e a m will receive
the
Commissioner's
Trophy.
These winners will be d e t e r m i n e d
by t w o s e p a r a t e elimination tournaments.
T h e t o p four t e a m s in League I
and only t h e first t w o t e a m s in
each division in League II will be
involved in the post-season play.
If y o u ' r e in League III or IV, hung
up y o u r sneakers unless y o u r team
finishes first in its division. This
will all add up to five t r o p h i e s
a w a r d e d , o n e to each league winner, and o n e to the best overall
team.
This past Wednesday night, a

the J a m e s G a n g (6-1 ) in front of a
sparsely filled University G y m .
Unfortunately
for the J a m e s

tenacious defense, and strong reb o u n d i n g t o d e s t r o y their o p p o n e n t s , (if).II. In this showcase
game of the best in League I, the

preventing the J a m e s d a n g from
scoring any points lor a stretch of
