MARCH 21, 1972
A grading proposal which would
put all students, including freshman and sophomores, on mandatory A-E grading except in those
courses designated by departments as "S-U" courses was
passed Tuesday by a 5-4 vote of
t h e Undergraduate Academic
Council. The proposal will be
brought to the Senate floor at its
April 17 meeting for final action.
If the proposal is passed by
Senate, SUNYA students will be
graded in virtually the same way
as they were before the present
pass-fail system was initiated in
1969. The only major change will
be the abolition of quality points,
and of the quality point deficiency. Students instead will receive "graduation points" and an
average of these points called the
"graduation index." In order to
graduate, students must present
120 credits with an index of 2.0.
Academic retention will be based
on the number of credits completed per semester.
A minor change from the present system will be in the withdrawal date. At present, the last
date to drop a course is the last
scheduled day of classes. This will
lie changed to one week before
the last day of classes. The change
has been explained as only an
administrative one, requested by
the registrar to ease his load during the final days of the semester.
Divided Council
Because the UAC proposal
passed by so narrow a margin,
(5-4), a minority opinion will be
included in the proposal when it is
sent to Senate. Three out of four
students on the Council were
against mandatory A-E grading.
It is hereby resolved that:

SUNY Chancellor Boyer:
'Concept of University is Changing I I
Hi
by Vicki Zeldin
Capital Correspondent
SUNY Chancellor Ernest L. Boyer discussed the
financial and academic future, and the student's role
in that future, of the state's sprawling 72 campus
university system at a recent interview.
Terming SUNY's financial situation "not a deep
crisis, but a comparative crisis," Boyer stated that
the current difficulty stemmed from the abrupt
lowering in support to the system. He claimed that
the university "could survive the mood of austerity," and went on to enumerate areas that will be
affected if SUNY remains to be funded at the
current $470 million level recommended.
The Chancellor stated that enrollment rates would
have to be rethought and the permanent plateauing
of some emerging campuses might be the result of
no new funding. He also stated that any new
buildings - and with them the increased cost of
maintenance - would have to be forestalled. In terms
of academics, Boyer claimed that if funding remains
at the present level in the future, the development
of a method of evaluating courses, to determine if
there is overlapping in some areas or if certain
majors are not needed, would be necessary. He cited
the fact that there is currently a moratorium on all
new graduate and doctoral programs so existing
programs can be studied and evaluated. "The
mission and function of campus schools would also
have to be studied," he said.
Boyer admitted that, "a new tuition hike is not
out of the question," but said that there was no
plan now to raise U in the future. The Chancellor
emphasized that he does not want continued spiralling of tuition, but stated that "free tuition is not
practical now." He claimed that the first two years
of college had become universal and stated that the
cost must be kept low at this level. He also affirmed
his stand that low tuition was necessary to protect
low and middle income students.
The SUNY head stressed the importance of federal
assistance and revenue sharing if the university and
the state as a whole are to survive, Terming the
picture "not wholly pessimistic," he stated, "what
happens on the federal side is very Important."
Academic Future
Aside from being an administrator, Boyer is an
educator, and this became quite apparent as he
discussed the directions that he felt education had
lo move in. The original concept of universities as
"isolated campuses where people came to sit at the
feet of masters," ha* changed according to the
Chancellor.
The question has become "what's school and what
isn't school" Boyer stated. He cited the massive
increase in the availablitiy of resources because of
innovations in both the electric and the print medias
as well as the creation of a smaller world by the
advances in transportation. What Boyer envisioned
was a continuous cycle of learning that would not
terminate with the ucquitision of a set degree. He
stated that "knowledge grows at a great rate," and
the custom of "putting education in the bank and
drawing upon the interest..." will no longer work.
Boyer spoke of the linking of campuses was
essential so that universities would be viewed as
resources for education. He said that learning could
take place not only in the classroom, but by the
media and through the mail. He also emphasized his
desire to make it possible for people of any age to
return to education on their own terms stating that
"education is a cycle of life that you keep returning
to..." He cited Empire State College - the college
without a campus - as an example of the system's
attempt to provide such an opportunity.
The SUNY head endorsed the community service
concept of education that is currently employed at
several campuses. His concept of community involvement is more of a two-way street that most
campuses now have. Terming the university a
"resource rather than a citadel," Boyer advanced
the idea of drawing
the community onto the
campus as well as involving the university in the
community. "The university will have fingers of
service out...," he said, and continued to state thai
this would help to "blur the notion of town and
gown."
The Chancellor's ideas call for people to "study
more frequently and more flexibly..." He stresses
the concept of regionalism and cooperation amonp
institutes of higher learning. "For us to pour
concrete and build little islands...," he said, "...is
not being realistic."

Addressing himself to the ever present issue of
teaching and research, Boyer stated, "teaching will
be increasingly emphasized." He said that "gifted
teachers should be recognized...," and further stated
that "rewards and tenure in the past have not
refelected this..." He stressed the fact that gifted
teaching and research are not necessarily one in the
same, but stressed that a good teacher must be a
well versed and up to date scholar.
The Student Role in SUNY
Boyer stated that he was "fully convinced that the
judgments of the students in this university are
important if the decisions that are made are to
wisely guide the institution." He called student
input "consultative, supportive communication,"
and stressed the difficulty in obtaining university
communication. "One entry point is the student
presidents...," he said, but admitted that there were
flaws in this method as well as in random selection
of student opinions.
The SUNY head decried the "tremendous turnover" of students as one more fly in the ointment
for student involvement with university issues. He
said that it might be necessary to make student
I"
,
involvement more formalized than just special committees, and mentioned the idea of a Student
Senate, still noting though, that the problem of the
high rate of turnover would not be solved. Boyer
stated that "I'm eager to see any model that will
involve students statewide."
Boyer noted that students were on several special
committees dealing with issues that affect the entire
SUNY system. He listed the issues of sutdent fees,
tuition rates, regionalism and budget priorities as
areas of student interest on the university-wide
level. He also added that he tries "to get closer to
the grass roots" by visiting campuses during the
year.
The Chancellor recognized the desire on the part
of many students to be involved, not only as
consultants, but as decision makers as well. He
stated that this was "important symbolically but
not in actuality..." He cautioned that students on
decision making boards would probably end up as
the "house students," and if they stayed on the
board would become "the house alumni." "It
becomes static. In itself it is bureaucratic...," he
said, and then added simply that placing students on
decision making boards was "not a serious solution
to the problem..." of increasing th* student's voice
in university affairs.
The Outlook
Chancellor Boyer, speaking from SUNY's new
offices in the Twin Towers Building overlooking the
State Capitol, summed up the university's position
by stating, "The pain and confusion of transition
are there, but so are the good parts. I hope that we
have enough imagination and courage and good luck
to find a way to direct the course of the university
to keep in touch in the future..." While basically
optimistic about SUNY's future, Boyer did note
what he termed a "lack of confidence in our social
institutions...and a deep sense of skepticism..." He
laid the future of SUNY at the feet of the people by
stating, "If the people lose faith in the university
then it is dead."

The can recycling project begun at State Quad five months agohasaxpanded to all five quads. The major
problems encountered so far involve the lack of volunteers and uncooperativaness of some students.
Lack of Volunteers Hinder
Can Recycling Protect at State
by Debbie Kaemen
The can recycling project begun
five months ago, has expanded,
but it needs people. Begun on
State Quad, collection bins have
now been placed on all four
quads, and the downtown quad is
awaiting equipment. The major
problems encountered so far involve the lack of volunteers and
uncooperativeness of some students.
The program, which involves the
collection of metal cans and scrap
metal, began in
October of
last year. The system involves the
use of a combination of cartons
and 55 gallon bins. On state quad
the cardboard cartons are placed
in the lounges of three of four low
rise dorms. In the fourth dorm
lobby, and on every fourth floor
of Eastman Tower, there are 55
gallon drums. The setup is approximately the same for the other
three quads, but architecture is
taken in account. For instance, on
Indian the drums are on the stairCans should be washed, labels
taken off, and placed in bins. The
cans from these containers are
collected once a week by student
volunteers and put in plastic bags.
They are kept in the garbage room
for a month when the Albany
National Guard picks them up at
the quad loading docks. The cans
are eventually sent to the Continental Can Company, where they
are melted and recycled.
An overwhelming amount of
cans are presently being collected,
and in this respect the project is a
success. According to Robin Septoff, now head of the project,
there are usually about four truck
loads of cans collected each
month. Now that three other
quads have been added to the
program, the total for March
should be somewhat greater.

The problem lies in the lack of
cooperation of students, as there
are not nearly enough student
volunteers to collect the cans. On
State Quad, a weekly pick up has
never been missed, but there have
been occasions when two people
have had to do all of the work. On
Indian Quad, the drums have
reached the point where they are
overflowing because no one was
available to collect the cans. Making the work load even greater
have been students who throw
garbage in the containers.
Despite these problems, "The
future looks bright," according to
Robin. A number of additional
projects are in the planning stages
Cooperation from the quad cafeterias is being sought. The quads
use a great number of cans, and if
these cans could be recycled it
would be "a step in the right
direction." The cans are currently
being saved in the Indian quad
dining hall, but not in the other
quads.
Paper recycling is the next step
which would be taken on this
campus. Project workers are presently considering this possibility.
Another idea being discussed is
the setting up of a City and
County recycling system. Such a
program has been tried and shown
to be successful in other cities.
Septoff would like this university
to set an example. She would like
to see every student get into the
habit of dividing their garbage
into paper, glass, and metal. This
material would then be recycled.
Most of these proposals are still
in the planning stages. Until these
proposals are enacted, the can
recycling project remains the only
program in which students can
actually participate. The work study people, the National Guard,
and the Environmental Decisions
Commission have been very cooperative, but according to Septoff, "The whole thing lies with
the student. If they would cooperate, it would be an easy job."

Lampert; a letter that named the
appointee! and asked for action
on an enclosed referral But, Stephan observes, "There was no
referral enclosed!"
The letter concludes with a violent attack on Lampert's alleged
opportunistic political actions.
"The history of the Supreme

"Someone has the impression
that the Art Department isn't very
important," adamantly asserted
Karen Zuceari, president of Art
Council. "We have to prove that
art is important! We've got to
fight for ourselves occasionally,
too. We ahve got to come out of
the studios
and assert ourselves,"
And the students who filled the
graphics room, the site of the
emergency meeting called to deal
with the crisis concerning funding
of the department, were moved to
action. Many responded to one
girl's suggestion that they appear
"en masse" before the administration and present them with a
list of demands.
Among the demands are: that
the Art Department receive funds
on parity with the sciences; that
the students no longer be required
to pay lab fees; and that Mary
Raddant.a professor well-liked by
students and faculty, but refused
tenure because she doesn't have a
Ph, D„, be reconsidered for tenure.
Currently, the Art Department
is appropriated about $20,000
compared to the Science Department's $140,000. Further breakdown reveals thul for Temporary

tion was swift.
Familiant explained that Lampert stalled on appointment of the
justices in an effort to keep the
court relatively ineffective. "It
keeps the court weak,"he observed adding that there were to few
court members "that there was
hardly a quorum."
Councilman Steve Gerber commented that "on the surface it
(Lampert's actions) would seem
to be an attempt to keep the
court from meeting." He explained
that qualified people were available to fill the vacancies but that
"Lampert has to find people that
agree with him."
Familiant added: "There were
many people who wanted the
job."
Lampert, who arrived at the
Council meeting late, commented
that he has not formally received
the letter and that as far ss he was
concerned, ''He (Stephan) has not
resigned."
Lampert said he found Stephen's position "Interesting" in
light of the fact that he was
reappointed by Lampert at the
start of the academic year.
S.A. Vice-President Terry W0bert commented: "It (the charges)
are kind of unfounded."
Stephan could not be reached
for additional comment.

In addition, the sciences get 99%
of all grant money that comes in.
Although as one professor explained, this is fair because the
sciences bring in most of the grant
money, he questioned why the
administration doesn't take that
into account when apportioning
money and thuse give the Art
Department a bigger cut in the
budget since there is no way that
department can bring in grant
money.
"We have had to charge lab fees
for every class," explained graduate student Cornelia McSheehy,
who organized the meeting. "This
is illegal The students are funding
this building! Next year, we're not
charging lab fees. That means
we're going to have to stop production in three months and the
shops are just going to have to
close."
"We, as art students, are paying
the same tuition as science students, but, above that, we're paying much more and we still don't
get as much as they do," protested Eric Stogo, a student active in
Art Council,
"It doesn't make sense," continues McSheehy, "The administration can't say there isn't any
interest in art courses." The Art

registration for its courses so that
Art majors will be guaranteed the
courses they need. There is a one
year waiting list for Photography.
Because of the lack in funding,
the department will be forced to
cut down curriculum. Summer
session is going to have 2V4 less
positions.
"The Biology department has
boats and jeeps and the Art Department can't even buy a can of
1
feerosene until April 1," McSheehy
points out. "When equipment
breaks, we can't even fix it. The
Printing Department is being forced to close down because of poor
ventilation of deadly fumes. However, she observes, a requisition
for a fan, approved two years ago,
goes unheeded due to lack of
money.
"I have been here over 10
years," asserted Professor Thorn
O'Connor, "and I've seen what
could have become a great department go to tubes because of lack
of money. Granted, we're into
bad times, but so is everybody
else,"
Within the department, the money is distributed by a committee
comprised of faculty, though they
welcome student representation.
However, the funds given to the
department as a whole are allegedly so minimal that each area
gets only a fraction of its operating costs.
Regarding the demonstration at
the Administration Building, it
was suggested that the students
participating bring along their equipment and paint all day. "Why
not?" wryly commented one
student. "They have about as
much equipment as we have."

ALBANY, N.Y. • AP - Attorney William Kunstler
argued before New York State's niftiest court
Tueaday that a 1968 border aeareh was not constitutional because it was provoked by the discovery of
anti-draft literature.
- The search resulted in the arrest of four college
students on drug possession charges,
Kunstler argued before the Court of Appeals that
the border search in Niagara County violated the
constitutional right of free speech.
The first judge to handle the case, Niagara County
Court Judge John V. Hogan agreed with the defense
contention, but the Appellate Division, Fourth
Department, reversed the decision.
The four defendants, all students at the University
of Wisconsin, were arrested at the New York end of
the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge Aug. 18, 1968, after
a small amount of marijuana was found in their car.
Customs agents said at a preliminary hearing that
an initial, routine search turned up literature published by the Wisconsin Draft Resistance Union.
The agents testified that this was the only reason
they conducted a second, more thorough inspection, which uncovered the drug.

CHICAGO - AP - Sen. Edmund S. Muskie captured
59 Illinois delegate votes for the Democratic presidential nomination Wednesday as the last ballots
were counted in a contest that puts some momentum back into his campaign for the White House.
The senator from Maine outdistanced Sen. George
McGovern, who wound up with ] 4 Illinois delegates, after swamping Eugene J. McCarthy in a
separate presidential preference vote Tuesday.
Eighty-seven delegates to the Democratic National
Convention were elected uncommitted to any candidate. Almost all of the uncommitted delegates are
sure to follow the lead of Mayor Richard J Daley of
Chicago.
WASHINGTON - AP - The National Commission
on Marijuana and Drug Abuse today recommended
repeal of all jail terms and fines for private pol
smoking, but not for its cultivation or sale.
After a year's study, chartered by Congress, the
conservative panel unanimously proposed a national
policy of using "persuasion rather than prosecution" to discourage smokins of marijuana.
But it stopped abort of recommending outright
legalization, expressing the hope that marijuana is a
fad that will ione favor if de-emphasized.
It said marijuana is far less dangerous than the
American public thinks. It found little or no
evidence that marijuana can kill, cause addiction.

Telephone Company: Pay or Else
The telephone company is cracking down on students, again.
Their latest stomp-on-students policy calls for shutting off your
telephone if the bill isn't paid within five days. You can bet,
though, that the five day limit isn't observed too closely
off-campus.
Student Workers Meet Again
FSA student workers met in the People's (Fireside) Lounge
Wednesday and discussed their tentative constitution. The
constitution is a first step toward building an FSA Workers
Organization. Any workers interested in joining the new
organization will be able to sign up at their quads in coming days.
Copies of the proposed constitution will be available for workers
to look at and comment upon (the constitution is still open for
changes).
Fewer Student Jobs this Summer?
FSA may not be hiring too many students this summer. Two
quads will probably shut down entirely in the coming summer,
with their full-time staffs shifted to the Campus Center food
operations as well as to the two open quads. Thus, some of the
full-time staff may work jobs normally held by students.

A bill that would prohibit the use of public buildings by
subversive groups is currently awaiting action by the Senate.
The measure, sponsored by Bronx Republican Senator John
Calandra, states: "No building of a municipal corporation, school,
school district, village or university supported in whole or in part
by funds from the state of New York shall be used by any
organization listed as subversive by the House International

Another measure, currently in the Assembly Education Committee, would place SUNY policemen under the "control and

located. The bill would also strike out a prior provision allowing
the SUNY Trustees to remove or appoint security officers. The

In 1969, this university embarked on a program of Pass-No

this policy is currently under revision and by next fall all undergraduate students may be graded
on an A-E system. Under this

Senate by the Undergraduate Academic Council for the April 17th
meeting of the Senate, the only

To the Editor:
Miss Andrea Elberger is to be
applauded for her letter published
in the March 17th issue of the
ASP. Specifically I refer to her
position that because Senior and
Junior students will be paying
higher tuition rates they should be
granted priority in pre-registration. This is the only logical and
just solution to such an unfortunate situation. It is indeed unfortunate that upperclassmen will be
forced to dig deeper into their
pockets in order to pay their
tuition bills. However, what is
even more unfortunate is the fact
they aren't at present being given
any additional benefits for their
money. How can the administration expect students to pay more
for their education and yet run
the risks of not getting the courses
they want and need, in order to
complete it? Juniors and Seniors
are aggravated enough already
when they find themselves in the
last alphabet group, pulling class
cards on the 15th day of preregistration. What the administration is attempting to do is to force
them to pay more for the same
aggravations.
These facts have been s u p p o r t e d by many d o c t o r s across the
c o u n t r y . Acting on these reports, b o t h the National

I). Ladinshy
There have been many predictions about the future concerning
droughts, famines, and such. Predictions such as these have always
existed, though usually never finding themselves coming into being.
But now more than ever can
one imagine a revolt by nature, in
her trying to tell us the need for
balance and harmony.
Last summer 1 was invited to
share in the harvesting of some
fruit trees. 1 was amazed to see
the vast quantity of food that was
given from these four trees. The
pears, apples, and peaches that
were picked that day would have
been enough to last a family for
many months in a needy situation.
I think about the many families
in our country having to receive
welfare to help in their living. And
I think about that for two or
three dollars apiece, fruit trees
could be given to them through
their welfare payments or some
government help: and in a few
years not only would these trees
be an excellent source of food and
nutrition, but they would also add
some beauty to the sometimes
lie: with the students or to some
mythical graduate school admissions committee.
Grading systems based solely
on achievement have already been
implemented successfully at other
universities. At Harpur College,
(SUNY Binghamton,) students
have the option to take a course
on an S-U graded evaluation. In
addition, if a student fails a
course, (letter grades of D or E, or
Fail,) there is no entry of that
course on the student's transcript.
Yet suggestions made by the student representatives for a system
similar to Harpur's have been
largely ignored by an Undergraduate Academic Council unwilling to commit itself to any
grading innovations.
This is not to say that an optional system of S-U is a necessarily
good grading system. It may place
those students who elect for an
S-U grade in a bad light when a
majority of students enrolled in'
the course are graded A-E. However, it is naive to assume, as have
'some administrators and faculty,
that the student who elects S-U
grades is not aware of its potential
pitfalls.
The onus and responsibility of
attaining an optional Pass-No Credit system lies with the student it is unrealistic to hope that the
faculty will welcome a mixed
grading proposal. And it is no
longer one of the administration's
concerns to placate a student
body which seemingly has no interest in the issue, on a "politically apathetic campus." This is an
issue that has bearing for all students here, regardless of their political differences. Talk about a
new grading system, think about
the relevancy of grades, and most
important, let's get organized to
prevent the encroachment of our
academic rights.
very coarse surroundings.
Some friends of mine in college
are planning to ask their student
senate if for one year they could
use their class money for planting
a small fruit orchard to be used to
help the needy of their town,
while also giving the students
something good and free to eat.
Churches could do something
similar, in either giving certain
families these kinds of trees or in
planting their own.
I spoke to my father about
planting some trees on our property and he grouched out something about fruit rotting and the
lawn mower, extra expense and
care...but ya see dad, they are
very strong trees and almost completely self-sustaining, and agencies do exist that would readily
take whatever fruit we couldn't
use to give away fresh or to
preserve: for still most of the
world is hungry.
Thank you

I think guide lines should be
established to assure the student
that all tests will be equitable. It
might be a good idea to organize a
University-Wide Committee on
Examinations to loosely control
all testing procedures. This committee could set up guide lines for
various academic fields and hear
grievances against the exceptional
inequalities and suggest remedies
along general policy lines.
Naturally though, the final hope
rests with each individual teacher
because unfortunately as long as
examinations are in use, professors must recognize that exams
are and will remain an important
part of the education system, and
should not be joked with or used
irresponsibly.

Parents Will Foot
to Complain to
Representative of the out-ofstate student at SUNYA is Sheila
Tucker from Berlin, N.J. Sheila's
neighborhood is not concerned
about the tuition hike because,
"Nobody ever heard about Albany State." Sheila, a junior, will
have to pay an additional $400 a
year. She also has a problem most
SUNY students don't have. "I
don't even have a representative
to complain to," she gripes.
Incompletes a
"Way of Beating Oof
Sophomore Steven Aminoff,
A r t s E d i t o r of the ASP , sees
the tuition hike as taking more of
his money. "I have a way of
beating that." he says. Steve plans
to take as many incompletes as
possible this term to retain his
sophomore status and still stay in
school. This will save him the
difference between the future
lowerclassmen and upperclassmen
rates for the first term.

tour Tuition a Subsidy
This Summer
Although James Blodgett has an
assistantship, which covers his
graduate tuition, he has much to
say on the subject, "Low tuition
is a subsidy to the middle class."
He would not oppose higher rates,
as long as a higher scholar incentive would subsidize the poor. He
admitted to "arguing my pocketbook." He said the economic view
is that it is not a contribution to
society to turn out more B.A.'s.
"I'm all in favor of having a free
education if possible, but it's a
question of priorities."
Dale Mark Ross, history major,
won't feel much personal effect
by the hike. "I have very good
parents, 1 have one year to go, and
they'll foot the bill." He doesn't
believe there should be separate
rates for the upper and lower
classmen.
Many Take
Apathetic Viewpoint
As a senior, Jeff Weiner will not
feel the affects of the tuition hike.
According to Jeff, those that are
being affected aren't doing much
about it. "I think they are taking
an apathetic point of view towards everything." Jeff himself is
not active enough to protest, but
has some suggestions. "If enough
kids get together, they should
close down the place. It is a pretty
radical view, but if anything is
going to get done you just have to
take those measures.
Sophomore Dick Stock says "It
will be a great strain on me
financially. It will probably affect
what I plan to do this summer."
Dick also anticipates going on an
austerity budget next term. "I've
gotten in touch with my legislator," he says, "and asked my
relatives to write." Dick would
prefer a totally free system. He
believes that the state could afford to give lower and middle
income students a free education
if the resources were managed
properly. He would restructure
priorities away from highways and Affl/cffO
the South Mall.
Bernadette Bossert, a freshman
on Alumni Quad first replied,
"My parents pay for my education, so I don't have to worry
about it." But Bernie is not totally apathetic. "Sure I care," she
said," because a lot of my friends
have to pay their own way and
work." She believes one way of
raving money would be not to
give out houses to the administrators.
the Bill
Fran Ginsberg says that, "I'll
have to work this summer for
sure." Before the hike, any money
she would have earned would
probably not have gone towards
school. She still may have her trip
overseas in the next few years,
"Depending on how generous my
father gets." When asked if she
thought anything could be done,
she replied, "At this stage of the
game I'm not sure."
Won't do Anything
"I probably won't do anything,"
says Pat Etta. "I'm married and
it's hard enough to go to school as
it is without having to pay extra."
Pat did sign a petition, and says
that, "The march this afternoon
probably showed what the students think."
Has a Scholarship
The tuition hike won't affect
those like freshman Bill Heller,
who is covered by a regents scholarship. "However," said Bill, "I do
feel that tuition should definitely
not be raised. The state is wasting
so much money in so many ways
that it is unfair to ask students to
compensate for poor handling of
government funds."
'£
v
AffBCtBd
Junior Jeff Bookman was eager
to share his views. "I'd like to go
to law school,," he said, "but
probably not at a State University." Therefore, Jeff will be affected for only one year. Although he
is not actively involved in protest,
he attended one meeting concerned with the hike. He thinks more
publicity might help. Jeff is not
too hopeful though, "It should be
fought, but if Unaccepted, we'll
have to." He sees it as affecting
the middle class because the poor
are subsidized and the rich can
afford It. He can forsee the costs
at state colleges rising to meet
those of private schools.
" I t d o e s n ' t really mutter
how the tuition hike will affect
any student individually," believes
junior Steve Gerber, "rather the
point is that with so much of the
taxpayer's money being wasted on
expense accounts, executive mansions, and so forth, the state's
budgetary deficit is being forced
upon tho wrong people." Steve, a
biology major, said the tuition
hike will make him work twelve
consecutive weeks over the sum*
mer instead of ten. He will be a
truckdriver at $3.50 on hour.
PAGES
ALBANY STUDENT PRESS
Al Lash, a senior, will escape the
hike in time. "I'm over and done
with. I figure that's the way it is."
What if Al were just a junior? "I'd
probably be really pissed off!" All
he could suggest was that the
students protest and petition, but,
"1 don't think it would do any
good."
Very Bad Effect
No Tuition in France
Library staff member and international student wife, Eliette
Carlier, told of the college situation in France. The colleges are all
nationalized, charge no tuition,
and have very cheap room and
board. A twenty dollar fee is
charged, which most foreign students have covered in their scholarships. As for SUNY, according
to Eliette, International students,
like her husband Christian who is
going for his doctorate, "have a
waiver of tuitions." In the tuition
hike last year some tuition waivers
were cut. The students met with
various administrators and managed to get some back. "Some
would have had to leave," said
Eliette.
Commuter Heidi Berg said "Tim
is going to have a very bail i-ffrel
on my parents and the) 'II Ink.' il
out on me." She went to a protest
meeting. Few eame and "iinbncl)
was enthusiastic." This diseour
uged her from going In the imurh
"SUNY started out In he mil
tuition," she said, "The idea "I
this whole thing is supposed I" In*
quality education for Inw prrres
She also believes lower classmen
should pay more "to dlscniiraiji'
those who goof-off."
to Congressman
Lloyd Fishman, a junior, will be
working extra hours during school
at the snack bar. For the first six
weeks of the summer he has a job
with New York City, and then
will work at a camp. He wrote to
his congressman that it is unfair
that the taxpayer gets hit with a
tuition hike while money is wasted. One example of such waste,
according to Lloyd, is the South
Mall. "I've been staring at that
ugly thing for three years."

Will Have to Borrow
Extra Burden on
Tema Rakita may have to give
up a future summer abroad because of the rising prices. "I'll
have to borrow extra money on a
loan," she said. When asked why
she hasn't protested Tema answered, "I'm lazy..I should, but...
ummmm.-.thc protest was during
classtime...I didn't find out about
until this morning...I'm not an
activist."
Those Who Pay
Their Way
College Will Be Elitist
Senior Barbara Sakellarides said,
"I really sympathize with the kids
who are going to be scraping the
money together." She believes
college will "go back to an elitist
type of thing." She thinks that
freshmen and sophomores are
going to think even more about
school, and that if they had to
pay the same rate as upperclassmen, "more would be encouraged
to drop o u t . "
MARCH 24, 1972
Graduate student Eunice Holt,
who commutes from Albany
doesn't think the tuition hike will
affect her. "Tuition should not be
allowed to go up at all for any
student," she said, "It puts an
extra burden on the student who
pays his own way...l think that's
really unjust to the student."
'Too Apathetic'
Junior Andrei Koval flatly said,
"I'm leaving school." He was planning to leave before news of the
hike but it was "the deciding
factor." Andrei said that he is too
apathetic to protest, but "if I
were more involved with school I
would have." He plans to try to
get a residency In California where
he can attend school tuition free.
ALBANY STUDENT PRESS
Will Try
for Work-Study
Freshman Candy Chadwick interrupted her studying to reply
that the tuition hike will mean
"Harder going." She hus a brother
also in a state college. She will
"try to get work-studyjnexUerm. I
know a lot of my friends, unless
they get help, won't be able to go
to school." If she can't get workstudy, Candy will "manage somehow." She believes a small tuition
should be imposed upon the
CUNY system,before SUNY tuition is raised. She hasn't protested, and returning to her book
expluined "1 can't because I'm a
Bio major und I spend my time
studying,"

BB: "...rebuilding
around
our battery."
by Lloyd Fiihman
The Jpcoming baseball season
will be " one of rebuilding," according to Coach Bob Burlingame
because, in order to equal last
season's 9-4-1 record, the Great
Danes will have to fill many vacated positions left by last year's
graduates.
The team is characterized by
many new faces as only six lettermen are returning.
"We are rebuilding around our
battery," says Burlingame and
how right he is. Last year's pitchers compiled a superb 2.12 ERA,
and three of the four hurlers are
back. Junior southpaw, and captain, Nick Ascienzo, will be the
mainstay of the mound. Last season, he yielded only two earned
runs in 30 innings for a remarkable 0.58 ERA.
Sophomore Kevin Quinn posted
a 3-1 mark with a 2.38 ERA,
walking only nine men, while
striking out 26, in 33 innings. The
third member of the mound crew,
Vic Errante, had a 2.25 ERA, and
two saves, as a reliever last year.
Indeed, the pitching is strong and
should prove to be the core of the
team.
At the other end of the battery
is junior catcher Jack Leahy. Jack
was last season's leading hitter for
the Danes with a .343 average. He
also led the team in RBI's (12). In
addition, he is a fine defensive
catcher.
Coach Burlingame sees his main
problem in the "Keystone Combination," that is, shortstop and
second base. He calls this area
"very green right now." he is in

Burlingame, "is much improved;!
expect him to be a real fine third

The outfield is characterized by
a solid center field, surrounded by
two question marks. Occupying
that middle ground is Tony Tedesco. Tony was the leading hitter
during the Fall baseball season
with a .375 average.
Out in right field, Frank Casta!do, up from the JV, has the inside
track. He is a good hitter, and
proved it with the Dane Pups last
year. In left field, Bill Hopkins
and Vic Guiiianellu are fighting it
out. Vic is a catcher by trade, but
plays first base and the outfield as
well. Burlingame considers him ,
"promising with the bat." Albany

KUP«" #
this is
the best team ever:1'
by Kenneth Arduino
The Albany State trackmen hope to continue their 24 game winning
streak for the upcoming season. "On paper, this is the best team
ever," said Conch Bob Munsey.
The track team has many stars. Cleve Little, Dave Tellier and Cliff
McCerd are all standouts aj_ sprinters. These runners hold all of the
school sprinting records. Coach Munsey sees e strong possibility thst
all of these records will be broken this year.
The longer distances ere also strong. Freshman Brian Quinn leads the
c o n t i n g e n t at_ nets mils SSMT two-miles. Backing him up in the
mOe are BUI Sorel and Arnie Shell.
AH three of them can also compete in the 880-yard run.
The 880 was weakened this year
since Peter Psyne, the Albany
record holder, is studying offcampus. Payne has been "working
out on his own but his availability
for meets is still in question.
The 440-yard dash hopes rest
mainly on Sal Rodriguez, "the
Cisco Kid." He was hurt last year,
but, looks in top shape this year.
Bill Brehn, a top 440 man last
year, was hurt in an auto accident
and his duties will be confined to
managing the team.
In the field events there are also
many outstanding performers.
The weight men are led by Don
Van Cleve and Rudy Vido. Don, a
senior, was a leading man last year
but he will be hard pressed by
Vido. In his first year of track,
Vido has broken the school record
for the shotput despite his lack of
form. Ross Andersen and Tom
Moore are the javelin throwers.
Leading the pole vaulters is
Moore, who is co-record holder in
begin their i
m over Easter
this event. Roger Mattison, a
junior, should join Moore in the
pole vault. Dave Reynolds is back
again to lead the high jumpers.
The jumpers should be aided with
the possible addition of basketball
players Byron Miller and Reggie
Smith. Smith has had some experience and anyone who has seen
Miller play basketball, knows how
he can jump.
The long jump is weaker than
last year due to two major reasons. One is the graduation of Sol
Moahenberg, the school's record
holder, and a third place finisher
against University teams of the
East in the !C4A's last year.
Andersen and McCarg are leading
the contenders to pick up the
slack.
Things are not all bright this
year. Last year, an' injury was not
tragic as the depth of the team
was strong. Now an injury could
hurt the team immensely. The
cold weather has also hurt the

Don't trust your first impression of Crabby
Appleton. Like the cartoon nemesis they are named
after, they may appear to have very thin qualities
but further investigation will reveal them to be a
solid rock 'n roll group, although not the type that
aims at the jugular vein or makes yon want to roll
up into a ball.
Hank Harvey's light bass is probably what makes
Crabby Appleton's music sound so hollow at first.
The core (and the core is anything but rotten) lies in
the snappy, co-ordinated drumming of Phil Jones
and Flaco Falcon (the latter on congas and timbales). They like to alternate their beats so that the
drum patterns interlock. Mike Fennelly is the group
leader: he writes and sings all the songs as well as
being quite proficient on guitar. Although not big
on solos, the man they go to when the going gets
rough is keyboard man Casey Foultz who gets the
only extended piece on the album, "Gonna Save
You (from That)", and it's a good one although not
likely to knock anyone off their feet.
Fennelly's lyrics are not to be ignored either as
they often hit deeply into the heart of the rock 'n
roll spirit. "You Make Me Hot" espouses the
breakup of a marital relationship to further the
benefit of love: "you know it's not such a shame,
you ain't the first and you won't be the last to give
up the man who gave you his name." "Paper to
Write on" is a very funny spoof on the typical
country-western ballad. A toucli of philosophy runs
through "It Makes No Difference," a song with a
universal message: "So go on chasing what's within
your dreams, go make your time, and play your
part. But when you listen to your dreams played
back, be sure you feel them in your heart."

Personal Profile No. 1
Leise Well Aware of Power
by Ed Dudy
Can students actually effect changes in the administration and organization of SUNYA?
"Students don't realize how much power they
have," says Rick Leise, chairman of Central Council.
But Leise is well aware of the power he and other
members of the Council have in determining how
the half-million dollars collected annually in student
tax will be allocated.
For those of you who aren't too sure whi
students and faculty members elected to Central
Council are doing, ASP spoke to the Chairman
about its reponsibilities.
"Central Council, as the chief legislative branch,
has complete control of the student tax says Leise.
Its main function is dealing with the distribution
and administration of some half-million dollars we
collect. We decide who gets it, how much, and how
it is to be used and that's our primary purpose."
The council also makes position statements on
important campus problems and policies. It can
either issue position statements for itself as Central
Council or as the voice of the student body on such
things as tuition, tenure of faculty members and
other important campus topics.
Leise pointed out that our student government is
analogous to the national government with the
possible exception that Central Council is most
powerful—having the right to over-rule a Presidential
veto by a majoirty vote. "In fact, the Council may
over-rule any decision the President makes," Leise
said. "I don't think anyone, even council members
themselves, realizes how much power they really
have."
One of the major difficulties that Leise has
encountered as chairman is trying to get the other
members of Central Council to realize the importance of their work. He feels that many of the
council m e m b e r s put their owii personal interests
•jhead of their constituents and therefore are not
fairly representing them. Leise claims that many of
the council members are letting their w«*emotions
and interests effect their vote, However, this does
not apply to the faculty members of the Council
who frequently abstain from voting on issues
directly effecting the student body. "They're the
most sobering influence on Central Council," says
Rick. " I , as chairman, do not know what I would
have done without them." Leise feels that the
faculty members are an essential part of the Council
and cause the student members to consider all
aspects of an issue.
Some of the major problems on campus that
Central Council is trying to resolve urc crime and
parking. Last November Leise, Robert Cole and
lames Williams of Security travelled to SUNY
liuffalo to sec how their student security patrol
operated. They spent an entire day asking questions
and observing the work of the security patrol. "We
came back and gave a report to Mike [Lamport] and
we were very much in favor of it." That's really the
only way to handle it. Otherwise we'll have armed
police walking around campus and the student body
will never go for that," said Leise.
As for the parking problem, last year as a council

Art Students Stage
'Draw Out' for Funds
by Robert Decherd
About 75 art students staged a
"draw out" on the second floor of
the administration building Friday
m o r n i n g t o protest alleged
funding discrimination against the
fine arts department.
The students, members of a
campus organization called the
"Art Council" demanded to meet
with President Benezet about the
art department's lack of funding.
When they were told that Benezet
was out of town, the group decided to meet with I. Moyer Hunsberger, Dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences. The "draw
out" lasted for several hours,
during which students sat in fron
of Benczet's office with their
sketch pads and pencils,, According to a student spokesman,
the demonstration was intended
as a "show of solidarity" among
art students.
member, Leise introduced a bill to allow students to
park in the same areas as faculty and staff. Leise
feels that the only reason faculty members are
allowed to park closer to the podium than the
students is that it is one of the last remaining
vestiges of authority for the faculty. There has been
given no adequate reason why the faculty needs to
park closer than students as far as Leise is concerned. Those who are incapacitated or have difficulty walking could easily be granted appeals and
given assigned spots right next to the podium.
In regard to the parking lot at Colonial Quad,
Leise was dismayed with the fact that its surface is
as "cratercd as the moon's." He has tried for the
past two years to have that lot paved but always
with the same results. "They tell me that there are
no funds to pave the lot," says Leise. "How come
they can build a brand new lot right next to Dutch
Quad?"
Leise would like to at least sec commuter students
allowed to park up front with faculty and staff if it
becomes impossible to allow all students and faculty
equal privileges. Commuters would have the same
reasons for wanting to park closer to the podium as
faculty and therefore, there would be no excuse for
keeping them in the back with resident students.
Another problem facing Central Council and the
inivcrsity in general is student apathy. Many students complain about life at SUNYA but few arc
willing to take part in student government and
effect the needed changes to make the university a
belter place. "I may be one of the few students who
really like it hre," says Leise.
Leise is definitely not a typically apathetic
SUNYA Btudent. Besides being Chairman of Central
Council, he Is a member of the University Senate, a
member of the Student Affairs council of the
Senate, on the board of Directors of F.S.A., Social
Chairman of his fraternity (Sigma Tau Beta) and
was a Summer Planning Conference Assistant.
While he was a member of the Board of Diretors
of the F.S.A. Leise proposed a resolution to make
all students members of F.S.A. thus allowing them
to examine the books and attend board meetings at
anytime. He feels that the best way to involve more
students in university life is to better acquaint them
with the powers ut their disposal which will aid
thorn in bringing about the changes they want.
"Changes can be made, but it's tough," says Leise.
And he ought to know!
The students claim that their
department has not been funded
on the same level as have the
other disciplines. They cite figures
alleging that the Art Department
receives only one fifth the funding
received by the various science
departments. In addition, they
point out that the sciences receive
99% of all research grants.
"We have had to charge lab fees
• for every class" explains graduate
student Cornelia McSheehy, one
of the organizers of the protest.
McSheehy stated that "the biology department has boats and
jeeps and the Art Department
can't even buy a can of kerosene
until April 1." She also charged
that when equipment breaks
down, "there is no money to have
it fixed."
The demonstration was precipi
tated by a recent administrative
order that art students pay all of
the fees for live models. One of
the students' main objections has

as strong actions by other groups

Gerber Charges Lampert
'Fails to Communicate'
C e n t r a l C o u n c i l man Steve
Gerber yesterday blamed the
apathy of Albany State students
on the "poor leadership at the
top" aJid what he termed a "lack
of i n i t i a t i v e " on the part of
Michael Lampert, Student Association President.
';.i-
Gerber, presently considered as
a top contender for Lumper 1 's
post in next month's Student
Association elections had numerous other criticisms to nuike
about how the student government is run. In Echoing the complaints of many other observers of
Albany's Student Association, he
charged that "Lampert doesn't
communicate with the students"
and that "the students have become accustomed to this communications gap." "This is the result" he claims, "when a small
group of students make the decisions without telling anyone else."
He feels that Lampert should
issue press releases and meet with
fellow students more often, rather
than "shunt off" these responsibilities to various coordinators
and lesser student government
officials.
Karl Hew, former campaign head and number one speech writer for Berry Goldwater
told a gathering of students in the Campus Center Assembly Hall Friday night that,
"There are many similarities between Communist literature and the writings of various
right wing libertarians today," Hess who used to be what he terms a "Thoreau type
Conservative " changed his political outlook and now describes himself as a "radical
leftist."
Hess finds "alot in common" between the "pure conservatives" as ho calls them, and
the radicals. Both groups, he explained, stress anarchic tendencies.
Among his other remarks, Hess made some observations about the future of American
labor unions. He claims that there will be "more rank and file activism" among unionists,
and he cites the recent strike at Chevrolet's Lordstown plant as an example of this. He
suggests that the workers at Lordstown "were striking for social rather than ucomonic
reasons", and he sees this as an encouraging trend.

Student Tax
Central Council recently passed
a bill providing for a referendum
on whether the mandatory student
tux should be made voluntary.
Students will be able to vote on
the proposition during the student
association elections next month.
Addressing himself to the tax
issue, Geibei staled that "There
^mmtmmmsmmmm^i^mm
has been a phobia that the student
government would collapse without the mandatory tax. This is not
necessarily true." Furthermore, he
feels that Centra! Council has become "complacent" under the
mandatory system, and that the
abolition of the present tax system would necessitate more "hard
work and initiative". The hard
work would include making estimations of budgets, and compensating for lost funds due to nonpayment of a voluntary tax.
He feels that most students
would pay the tux if it were made
voluntary, and cites the experience at Berkely in which the
mandatory system was abolished
and K()% of the students continued to pay.
We Have Power
Gerber also discussed the issue
of student power. He feels that
Albany State students "have more
power than they realize" but that
the Student Association here has
not taken the initiative in fighting

body." He does admit, however,
that "Lampert definitely speaks in
favor of u.e students" but that he
"has not taken the forefront" in

in the direct interest of the students." As an example, Gerber
cites the recent bust on Indian
Quad. "Why," he asks, "didn't
Lampert
talk t o Williams
(Director of Security) and do
something?"
