VER GREET
By Bob Mayer
On Tuesday evening, September 5, shortly after 7 o'clock, a
huge Eastern Whisperjet carrying
Democratic
Vice-Presidential
candidate R. Sargent Shriver landed and taxied to a stop at the
Page Airway Terminal. Waiting
there were some 2,000 enthusiastic McUovern-Shriver supporters who came to hear the
man they hoped would replace
Spiro Agnew in November. The
aircraft, nicknamed "Lucky Seven" came to a halt and, waiting
to greet Shriver was Mayor Corning and a host of other local
politicians. The crowd, who had
expected Shriver to appear at
6:30 had patiently waited for
this moment while being enter-
tained by the "Star-Spangle^.
Washboard Band." As Shriver
appeared, the crowd began
cheering and waving at the tall,
well-groomed candidate who after 13 hours of rugged campaigning still appeared fresh and
wide-awake.
Shriver moved up Lo the podium after a short introduction
by Mary Anne Krupsak, candidate for state assembly. He delivered an eloquent speech that
criticized the Nixon administrations' record of the past four
years. He began by accusing the
president of fostering high unemployment, increased inflation,
a rise in crime, an increased
federal deficit and mounting
welfare rolls. He pledged that
"after we take over the White
House in 1974, we're going to
take over the state house here in
Albany." He went on to say, "a
state like New York that has
produced men like Franklin
Roosevelt and AI Smith and
Herbert Lehman can do better
than Nelson Rockefeller." His
remarks drew loud applause.
The vice-presidential candidate
then mentioned Nixon's recent
Labor Day pronouncements on
the "work ethic" referring to the
GOP as u "no-ethic administration."Concluding the speech
with a plea to get supporters
involved in registration drives, he
told the audience, "Nixon may
need ITT but we need Y-O-U."
Sargent Shriver then moved to
the fence that separated him
from his exuberant audience for
a handshaking finale. Several students in the crowd urged him to
visit Albany State. He then left
the airport for a meeting with
the local NAACP in Albany,
leaving a half hour traffic jam in
his wake.
There was no hint in the afternoon rally of the confrontation
Shriver was to face later that
night, when over 150 students
from State marched peacefully
to the Hyatt House to face the
vice-presidential hopeful,
and to question his views of
the Olympic Village killings.

You reach the penthouse of
Mohawk Tower by taking one of
the three elevators to the floor
directly below and walking up
the final flight of stairs, past the
unfinished carpentry and the
loose sawdust, the naked, hanging light fixtures, the scattered
tools and materials that suggest
incomplete construction work.
The penthouse is finished now
even to the p o i n t of carpeting.
Only the furniture still is missing. If you stand against the
long row of barren windows on a
clear day and look downtown,
you will see as far as the twin
towers of the South Mall project, and beyond.
It is the view from the opposite side that is somewhat more
revealing. From there, you can
see virtually the entire SUNYA
campus. And if you crane your
neck slightly, you might even
notice the second floor of the
administration building where
SUNYA President Louis T.
Benezet and his vice-presidents
spend their wo/king day. It is a
rather ironic view. For it is on
that very floor that those very
men decided the fate of Mohawk
Tower eflrly this past summer.
The ramifications of that decision are just beginning to be felt
now in several varied ways.
You might first notice the ramifications in the hesitancy of
Tower
student government leaders to
trust Benezet and his administrators to the extent they did one
year ago at this time. They speak
of him in different tones now.
You might notice the results in
the crowded quarters student
association groups share in the
Campus Center. They have come
to increasingly blame Benezet
for their discomfort.
But probably you see the ramifications of Benezet's decision
most clearly by simply counting
the number of student faces in
Mohawk Tower. There aren't
any.
For the story pf how Mohawk
Tower underwent a transformation from a dormitory to an
academic office complex is not
as simple as one might expect.
Call it a study in institutional
bureaucracy, university priorities
or possibly, administrative indifference, for it is all of these and
more. It is a lesson in student
impotence, an examination of
their lowly status at State.
Vacant Space
Originally, Mohawk Tower was
to open this academic year as
SUNYA's newest dormitory,
home for several hundred student residents on the newest of
the four quadrangles, Indian.
But underutilization of dorm
space at SUNYA changed all
that. Eleven percent of Albany
State's dormitories were vacant
last year, reflecting a trend
throughout the entire SUNY
system. Statewide, some 5,000
bed spaces were left empty or
converted to other uses.
That situation was a cause for
concern to SUNY officials here
in Albany because empty beds
mean less student rents and ultimately, less money to pay off
bonds floated by the State Dormitory Authority to pay for
dormitory construction.
Allowing Mohawk to be used
as a dormitory this year—which
almost certainly would have
meant opening an empty tower
at the university--would obviously not sit well either from a
public relations or an internal
university standpoint.
The sad fact was that poor
planning hud left the university
with u Lower it hud no use for, a
rather gargantuan white elephant.
So il wus decided to negotiate
with the Dormitory Authority
to see if the tower space might
be used for other purposes. The
negotiations were lengthy, complex, and secret. While they were
occurring, student representatives met with various administrators in an attempt to receive
space allocutions in the tower
and relieve overcrowded conditions in the Campus Center.

SEPTEMBERS, 1972
As spring approached, it
seemed a dispute was developing
over who would receive the anticipated floor space; it would
either be given over to student
oriented services, academic departments, or a combination of
the two.
Student representatives were
told by lower level administrators that once final negotiations

A Councilman Speaks
By Patrick Curran
Vice-chairman,
Central
Council
Why would a n y b o d y want to get involved in
student government? Why should a s t u d e n t even
believe that the Student Association can make
things happen? And while we're asking question:
What's a Central Council, and where is that thirty
dollars per semester mandatory activity fee going?
Central Council, the legislative body of the stud e n t government here at SUNYA, is feeling very
self-conscious this year. The members realize they
have a difficult job before them, and are fully aware
of the effect they can have on this university
c o m m u n i t y . But Council folk are not blind to the
fact that their schoolmates expect little of them,
and are cynical of every move they make. In spite of
this wide-spread attitude, this year's Central Council
is m o r e determined than ever to earn your respect.
How? Well, if you live on Alumni Quad, ask Joe
Curry or Randi Bader. They're your representatives.
They've already begun to make their presence
known by posting a report on the dinner line of

Welcome George and Ted!
Senator George McGovern,
accompanied by Senator Edward
Kennedy, plans a three hour
campaign visit to upstate New
York on Thursday September
14. The Democratic Presidential
candidate will make a major
campaign address on the steps of
the Capitol at 12 noon. Upwards
of fifteen thousand people,
many of them students and
employees working in the
Capitol District area, are expected to hear the Senator's
remarks. Buses will be provided

Youth for Nixon?
Princeton, NJ (AP)—A majority of younger voters now support
President Nixon over Sen. George McGovern, according to a Gallup
Poll issued Sunday.
The survey, taken immediately after the Republican Convention,
gives Nixon 61 per cent to 36 per cent for McGovern among
registered voters under the age of 30. In the previous poll, taken in
early August, McGovern led 48 per cent to 41 per cent for Nixon
among younger voters.
A shift in the preference of younger voters could be a serious blow
to McGovern, whose strategists have considerud the youth vote a
primary source of McGovern's support.
Despite the figures, the Gallup survey stressed that "the race is still
far from decided." The report noted that McGovern gained R
percentage poinLs in one week's time in the Wisconsin primary in
April.
In addition, Gallup noted that the under-30 sample used in its
survey consisted of 221 persons—about one-sixth the number of
those in the normal national sample.
The younger voters surveyed were part of a group of I ,203
registered voters who were asked, "If the presidential election were
being held today, which candidate would you vote for Nixon the
Republican or McGovern the Democrat?"
The results among other sub-groups indicated other new gains for
Nixon.
Manual workers favored Nixon over McGovern 04 per cent to 2K
per cent. In the previous Gallup poll, Nixon led 49 per cent to 3fi
per cent.
Among Catholics, the new survey showed a Nixon lead of 62 per
cent to 29 per cent, up from a 48 per cent to 42 per cent edge in the
previous study.
Among labor union members Nixon led 61 per cent to 30 per cent,
up from a 48 per cent t o 42 per cent edge in the previous study.
Among all the groups, those who were for neither McGovern or
Nixon were listed as undecided.
Angela Visits Berlin
U.S. Communist Angela Davis was greeted at East
Berlin's Schoenfeld airport Sunday by 50,000 young Bertiners as she
arrived from a two-week stay in the Soviet Union, the East German
news agency ADN reported.

attend the rally. Students planning to go should sign up at
McGovern tables located in the
CC and on quads. The buses will
be leaving Albany State from the
Administration circle at 11:00
and students will be returned to
the campus at the end of the
rally.
McGovern is scheduled to
arrive at Albany County Airport
from Pennsylvania at 11:15 »,m,
and then proceed to the Capitol
for the rally after which he will
depart for Massachusetts.
Miss Davis, acquitted in June of murder, kidnaping and conspiracy
in a California courthouse shootout, was driven into East Berlin for a
dinner given by the secretariat of the East German youth group—
Greie Deutsche Jugend.
In the Soviet Union, Miss. Davis was the guest of the Soviet
Women's Committee. She visited several cities there and her trip was
widely publicized by Soviet media.

He said the Munich tragedy had no place at the Security Council
session and that the slaying of the athletes had been noted "by the
official organs of the Soviet Union" with a statement of 'deepest
regret."
New Talk of Peace
The Viet Cong issued a new peace statement today saying it is
"prepared to accept a provisional government of national concord
that shall he dominated hy neither side."
U.S. sources in Saigon interpreted this as a concession that neither
side can win the war militarily. But Viet Cong and North Vietnamese
spokesman have said repeatedly in the past—for public consumption, at least that the coalition government they proposed would be
a coalition of equals, with none o the factions dominating.
The Viet Cong termed the three-page declaration 'an important
statement on ending the war in Vietnam and restoring peace." But at
first reading it appeared to he no more than a reiteration of previous
Communist peace demands.
Once again it called on the United States to withdraw all its troops
from Vietnam, to stop supporting the regime of President Nguyen
Van Thieu, and to halt the bombing and mining of North Vietnam.
The Viet Cong also repeated its previous formula for the makeup
of the government of national concord- a three-segment coalition
composed of 1 member of the Provisional Revolutionary Government, 2 members of the Saigon administration excluding Thieu, and
3 representatives of other political forces in South Vietnam
"including those who, for political reasons, have been compelled to
live in exile."
"These three segments of this government are on the same footing
and equal," the statement said.
Expanding Possibilities
by Thomas Murphy
For the past two years, the
Students' International Meditation Society (SIMS) has visited
campus regularly to give introductory lectures and courses of
instruction in the technique of
Transcendental Meditation. Simply by practicing an effortless
mental technique twice daily,
SIMS adherents claim the individual can fully develop his mental
potential, enjoy life to its fullest,
expand his creative capacity,
clarify thought, and much more.
The introductory lectures offered prove interesting, possibly
enlightening.
Take a Train,
in all fields including prisons,
drug rehabilitation programs,
business management and even
the Army are toying with the
idea of using Transcendental
Meditation as a valuable addition
to their programs.
The reason is that TM is effective. It is easy to learn and easy
to do. It is highly systematic and
its results are repeatable indefinitely. In other words, Transcendental Meditation is a scientific procedure and as such can
be used effectively by those who
would otherwise dismiss it as
"mystical" or "cuitish."
Black students, men and women, can now have their hair cat by a
black barber, Herman Cockfield. He can do Afro's and all styles, as
well as expert work for children. Hired after talks between black
students and the Faculty-Student Association, he joins Dan Gatto
and Ted Morrel in the University Barbershop on Mondays only,
8:30-3:00 p.m.
Gerald Robinson is pictured with Cockfield; the other student is
Arthur Reaulo.
Scientific Research in T M
•The United States on Sunday vetoed a
call on Israel to stop reprisal raids in the Middle East that did not
carry a simultaneous U.N. condemnation of terrorism such as the
Arab massacre of Israeli athletes.
Ambassador George Bush cast the second U.S. veto in Security
Council history, declaring: "We seek for a world where athletes need
not fear assassins and passengers on planes need not fear hijacking.'
Bush's veto followed joint vetoes by the Soviet Union and China
of moves that would have linked the Munich Olympic tragedy to the
Israeli air raids against Syria and Lebanon.
Soviet Ambassador Jacob Malik denounced the raids as carried out
by "Israeli maniacs."

Recently, SIMS has some new
angles. Scientific research is one.
Scientists and doctors all over
the country are starting to seri
ously investigate "TM" and its
effects on an individual's physiological, psychological and sociological development. The findings
so far are impressive. Physiologists have found that TM produces a state of decreased metabolic activity such that it might
be called a fourth major state of
consciousness, differing significantly from waking, dreaming,
and deep sleep. Pyschologists are
finding that TM quickly relieves
tension and anxiety and improves both creativity and problem-solving ability. Sociologists
The scientific verification of
TM's effectiveness and usefulness has prompted the founding
of what is called the "Science of
Creative Intelligence" (SCI).
Strictly defined, SCI is the practice of Transcendental Meditation combined with a thorough
knowledge of the principles on
which the practice is based. In a
more general sense, it is an
examination of all fields of
knowledge from the viewpoint
that consciousness is the basis of
the ability to gain knowledge. If
the value of an individual's consciousness (his ability to gain
knowledge) can be expanded,
then the purposes of education
will be more thoroughly realized. If the individual can gain
profound fulfillment at the same
time, then the reason for education will be served completely.
It is felt that when individuals
as units of society have available
a technique for increasing their
creative abilities and relieving
tension, the world as a whole
will experience the same benefits, thus easing the incredible
chore of solving the immense
problems in the world today.
The ease, universality and
effectiveness of SCI has led its
founder, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi,
to inaugurate a "World Plan" by
which it is intended that 3600
teacher-training centers will be
e s t a b l i s h e d throughout the
world. Each center will train one
thousand teachers of SCI. This
plan will provide one teacher of
the Science of Creative Intelligence for every thousand people—3.6 million teachers for 3.6
billion people in the world.
Locally, courses in TM and tXI
are offered periodically. SIMS
will present an introductory lecture in the Campus Center Assembly Hall tomorrow (Wednesday, Sept. 13) at 8:00 p.m. l i t e
scientific research will be discussed at greater length, and a
vision of the possibilities offered
i by Transcendental Meditation
will be outlined. The floor will
then be opened for questions.

t h e B o a r d is m a k i n g a special
effort t o get your
feedback-your opinions, your complaints,
y o u r satisfaction. Most of this
campus does n o t understand the
set-backs we are u p against--not
purely t h r o u g h their o w n fault,
b u t t h r o u g h t h e fault of a lack
of c o m m u n i c a t i o n . No--we are
n o t a g r o u p of p e o p l e sitting in
the Campus Center deciding w h o
we w o u l d like t o see here.
R a t h e r , we are a frustrated
g r o u p of s t u d e n t s t r y i n g t o c o p e
with inflated prices, small and

go as far as w e w o u l d like it t o
go. First of all, as e v e r y o n e pays

we
have a
responsibility t o satisfy as m a n y
musical i n t e r e s t s as possible. It's
just n o t fair t o c o n c e n t r a t e
purely on large rock acts. We
m u s t fit in o u r folk, jazz, black

Chadabe's Free Music
By Andy Why
I don't know whether we're
making some sort of history for
the Albany area or not, but Joel
Chadabe's Free Music Store
seems destined to become one of
those venerable institutions
which make good music schools
great. If only the University
Community knew of what was
taking place in their own backyard! Maybe there would be less
talk of "dead weekends."
Friday's concert was no exception to what seems to be an
unwritten rule: FMS Concerts
must be interesting....intriguing
to the point that listeners would
want to return. In actuality,
most of the concertgoers are
puzzled. They are being exposed
to a new form of music, a music
that has yet to be categorized
into oblivion. It is spontaneous,
or so it seems. And it uses all the
facilities that Beethoven would
have had his audiences use—not
just the ears.
And to prove a point, the FMS
usually has a sight-and-sound
piece, one with lights, or movies,
or something to distract one's
eyes from the performers themselves. The philosophy is that
watching the performers has very little to do with the music
itself—a partial explanation for
the fact that while modern music does fairly well on record,
concerts of it are rather rare. At
any rate, it was hard to ignore
the running, hopping, and frenetic activity of Jean-Charles Francois, the guest percussionist en
route from Paris to San Diego.
His piece (pieces eventees) for
guitar and percussion was a mixture of pensive, slow moving
sounds, wild, sharply contrasting
noises, and a bit of visual slapstick. All in all, it was good for
about 10 minutes of really engrossing music and a laugh or
two. ltiat should be enough to
please the cynics, although the
super-cynics in the audience remained unconvinced.
Any further discussion of the
music on the program (a piece
for bass trombone & tape, a
piece for fdm, electronics, &
t r o m b o n e , and Chadabe's
Echoes for guitar, trombone percussion, & electronics) is, I
think, secondary to its raison
d'etre. Electronic music is the
music of an era, much as recorder consorts and string quartets
hail from the 16th, 17th, and
18th centuries. The mere fact
that few people bother to listen
to it does not distract from its
importance. Everyone knows the
old "Beetnoven must be a raving
maniac to write like that" stories; tales of reviewer's disgust
throughout the ages. After a
while, though, what the reviewers say becomes lost in time,
while the music itself retains all
the timelessness that is art. That
is also an old story, but it is
always ignored in the face of a
few very stubborn people's egos.
Personal taste, and the pride we
all have in our own tastes, is a
tough nut to swallow.
It would be detrimental to the
cause to say that one should go
out and sec the Free Music Store
because ittoeducational. No one
would go. Electronic music is
entertainment, and if you are
not entertained, there must be a
reason. If you can And the reason, analyze it, and you might
be able to enjoy more of what
should prove to be the way of
the future.
Coekrell Plays
The first of "The-SecondMonday-And-Tuesday-of-theMonth-At-Four-O'clock" concerts with Findlay Coekrell,
pianist, will be held in the
Recital Hall of the Performing
Arts Center, State University of
New York at Albany, September
11 and 12. The public is invited
at no charge.
Mr. Coekrell has selected for
his first program "Paganini
Variations by
Liszt and
Brahms." It is an introduction to
a forthcoming concert he will
play with the Albany Symphony
Orchestra, which will feature
Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody on a
Theme of Paganini" for piano
and orchestra.
Next month's "Four-O'Clock"
concerts (October 9 and 10) will
be a performance of the Rachmaninoff "Rhapsody" with the
second piano substituting for the
orchestra.
J. Geils to play at RPI
Saratoga Center:
B.S. & T. Perform
By Bill Brina
Don Cooper, a pleasnat, mellow performer gave Friday nite's
Blood, Sweat & Tears performance at Saratoga a promising
start. For their first two or three
numbers—taken from their new
singer's (Jerry Fisher) repetoire,
the "new" B,S, & T sustained
that promise. Fisher's voice is
strong enough to cut through
the horns without straining and
his own material cooks. "The
Crow's Funeral," performed in
Swedish by Swedish lead guitar
player George Wadenius, wasn't
too impressive in its own right
but the horn fanfare introduction was stunning—it managed to summon the spirit of
atonal serialism without actually
being atonal.
a-thousand-times-before canned
B,S, & T horn riffs. From there
on in it was all downhill: some
blasts from the past, the new
band sounding exactly like a
recording of the old: a lifeless
rendition of "M for Melissa"
from Steve Katz (who was pretty lifeless all night, in fact) and a
tour-de-farce of Carol King's
"Snow Child"—everyone soloed
on everything, except possibly
the block flute, every solo was
pedestrian to an extreme severe
even for pop, none of them were
connected in anv wav to any of
the others, and the whole godawful thing was interminably
long—felt like two hours, at
least.
But then the band launched
into Dylan's "Down By the
Flood" and this writer's hopes
fell apart. The plodding, heavyhanded arrangement epitomized
the worst of the"old" B,S, &.
T—dragging tempos, a JoeCocker-caught-in-molasses-stagger-aroundby singer
Fisher; those we've-heard-them-
The "new" band seems almost
as lost and without direction as
the last edition did. They might
do themselves and us a favor
were they to bury BJS, & T for
good and seek some more creative environments. Given the
dollar-drawing power of that
name, though, it seems a safe bet
that that will never happen.

Prior to the featured band, Suatrain, we were treated to a new

"Where's diehard' Greene?"...no
one having noticed that guitarist

also! Greene & Rowan have departed to carve their name on a
new mountain, but the band
added Pete Walsh on guitar and
Hill Elliot on 2nd piano. What
might have been a bummer became a great blues and jazz mix
of their newer material. Elliot
played some very good ray-

timey piano runs and Walsh's
wah-wah replaced Greens's violin
on a version of "I'll be Willin"

Andy Kuhlbcrg's flute work was
as great as ever, and the band's
new
material
included
"Scratch"-one of the few songs
ever written in Loudonville.
The band, officially together
with this line-up for only one
week, received a warmer and
warmer response from the mixed
audience of freaks, drunks, and

Rebuilding Year Ahead For Dane Gridders
by Bruce Maggin
It's now less than two weeks
before the Albany Football team
embarks on their last year of
club football as in 1973 the
team moves to varsity status.
-The puzzle still continues as to
who will be the top signal caller
with three men battling it out.
Last year Coach Ford and his
staff, realizing that starter Bill
Flanagan was graduating and
Rick Petty was not returning,
looked elsewhere for a replacement. They decided to pick the
best athlete and convert him
into a quarterback. The staff
looked toward Jeff O'Donnell,
who was a starter in the defensive secondary. O'Donnell is
quite a natural athlete but has
never played the position and
has lots to learn.
Gordy Kupperstein has had
some experience playing quarterback sparingly two years ago.
Assistant Coach Ray Murphy remarked, "Gordy is the best all
around of the three." Working
against Kupperstein is his height
at only 5-6 and weight of 160
pounds. One wonders if he can
take the pounding of a full
season.
The other candidate for the
job. is John Bertuzzi, who is
tabbed as the quarterback of the
future. John is the best passer of
the trio. He, however, must
make the big adjustment from
his high school offense to the
more complicated Albany offense. The edge right now at
quarterback must go to O'Donnell.
Albany will have to count
heavily on its ground attack.
Sophomores Lonnie Davis and
Carvin Payne lead the rushers.
Davis right now is nursing a bad
shoulder but will be ready for
the scrimmage against Hamilton
College. Backing up the starters
arc freshmen Marvin Perry and
Noel Walker.
With the graduation of Cleve
Little the pass catchers lack a
deep threat. The leading candidate for split end is freshman
Bob Baxter. He's got good speed
and a tremendous pair of hands.
At tight end veteran Ed Perka
returns. Perka is a fine blocker
and also doubles as the team's
punter.
The offensive line is led by
co-captain Kleon Andreadis at
guard and Hudson Valley transfer Bill Adams at tackle. Adams
was switched from TE because
the coaches felt that his talents
would be wasted backing up
Perka. Rounding out the line are
Ty Curran and Rick Due!!.
The key to this season is the
defense. Obviously with the
Make room Cincinnati, Make
room Pittsburgh, here comes the
Great Dane Machine. Pittsburgh
and Cincy lead in butting average
with a .270 mark in the majors,
however after Saturday's doubleheader victory over the Uticu
Pioneers, the Great Dane's batting average is .343.
The Albany State Varsity Baseball Team banged out 24 hits in
the doubieheader and won by
scores or 11-5 and 10-9. Both
games went one inning over the
regulation play with State com-
'ng from behind to win the first
on a big six-run seventh inning.
Hay Angrilla smacked four singles in the first contest and
drove in three runs, two of them
coming in the big eighth. Terry
Kenny and Dan Deforest each
tallied two hits & two RBI'B and
Dave Bentley stroked a triple
and single. Kevin Quinn pitched
well, winding up with a complete game, striking out six and
walking nine. He threw only 79
pitches as com pared In 165
thrown by the opposing pitcher,
Uary Phendler.

There is a good nucleus for a
strong defense but there are a
few holes that must be plugged.
Last year's squad allowed just 10
point! in the final three games.
Albany must look to the future. There are only seven
seniors on a team of 63, 27 of
which are freshmen. This year
will have to be a season in which
the team gains the much needed
experience. Realistically a .500
season is doubtful. However, big
things can be expected for the
first year of varsity ball in '73.

He Albany State football
»taff was appropriately
j ^ e d for last Saturday's preBU on clash with EP1.
CUd in deep purple lerseys,
gob Ford and hiB assistants proved more than enough suggestion of mourning as RPI walloped Albany 28-6.
For the Danes it was largely a
,tory of being outclassed in
e,ery department of the statist s columns.
HPI coach Dick Riendeau had
been looking for a quarterback
but has apparently found his
nun in Brent Rupp. Rupp's accurate passing overcame several
fourth down and third down and
long yardage situations for the
Engineers
The Albany squad didn't make
many mistakes but these errors
accounted for three RPI touchdowna. Ed Perka's knee hit the
ground on a punting attempt
and the ball was called back to
CMching
the 24. Four plays later the
Engineers capitalized.
A fumble on the 22 and a few
missed tackles on another play
helped to widen the point
spread.
However, a few facts should be
noted about the nature of the
game.
Riendeau's game plan was con
siderably more stable with most
of his team back from last year.
Also, the RPI mentor didn't freely substitute for some time.
By contrast, Coach Ford tried
out many different combinations of players throughout the
game. In addition, Albany had
three quarterbacks to look at in
a game situation as compared to
RPI's two. Whenever the Danes
posed a scoring threat, Riendeau
immediately returned to his
starting defense.
It was Ford's substitutions,
t h o u g h , which may have
answered some questions about
the coming season.
John Bertuzzi, who reportedly
wasn't much of a scrambler, ran
for State's lone touchdown and
moved the team the best of the
three quarterbacks. Bertuzzi
may have landed the number
one quarterback spot.
In the second contest,, State
started where they left off in the
first game. SUNYA scored three
quick runs in the first inning on
a hit and run double by Jack
Leahy, scoring Terry Kenny and
run scoring singles by Bill Lapp
and Ray Angrilla. However, just
as Albany rallied in the first
game, Utica chopped State's lead
to nothing in their last half of
the seventh. Ken LaRoe started
for the Danes in the second
game and Coach Burlingame was
hopeful that Kenny would last
five innings. But Kenny, hampered by pulled ham-string muscles in both legs, hud to be
pulled out in the fourth inning
after giving up a three-run homer
which cut the Dunes lead to 7-4.
Steve DeVito came in to relieve
him, yet found himself being
relieved by Dave Bentley when
the Pioneers rallied in the
seventh. Bentley retired the side,
hut not before Uticu knotted tinscore. Dave wound up bene
factor, though, as Albany scored
a run in the top of the eiglh on
an error, a ground out, and a
game-winning, run-scoring single
by Bill Lapp.
Albany's next game is tomorrow at Siena.
by Bill Heller
Obscured by the "political"
holocaust of mass murder last
week, lies a deep rooted problem
that might make this Olympics
the biggest farce the sports
world has ever seen. Threatening
to steal the simple beauty of
competition and sport, the all
purpose Olympic bureaucracy
seems content to add truvesty
upon truvesty. The final disaster,
built upon a pyramid of bad
decisions, mental lapses, and
outright misuse of authority,
Was the basketball final between
the United States and Russia.
Putting their spotless record on
the line, the Americans waged a
valiant come from behind effort to draw within one point,
(49-48) with three seconds remaining in the game. Then a
U.S. guard, Doug Collins, amidst
inmeasurable pressure, sank two
free throws to put tile U.S.
ahead by one. The Russians
immediately called lime, but the
clock hud run down to one
second. They set up an in bounds
play which failed as the buzzer
went off and the Americans
hugged each other.
In the receiving department,
Bob Baxter had the sure hands.
Baxter grabbed two passes for
38 yards.
Thus, the big word now for
Albany is work. Hopefully, the
practices leading up to the September 23 season opener will be
marked by the emergence of
more individuals who can help
the Great Danes put together a
winning campaign in 1972.

U.S. team back onto the court,
the scorekeeper insisted that
there should have been three
seconds left when the Russians
took the ball out. The clock was
reset at three. It should have
been set at two if anything,
because the Russians had already
used one second. In a fitting
ending, they scored the winning
basket at the buzzer.
Since then there have been howls
of protest and rage from the
U.S., none of which changed the
result of the game. Kevin Joyce,
who had been the catalyst in the
U.S. comeback surge with key
outside baskets, put it bluntly,
"They've been out to get the
U.S. all along. Well now they've
done it." Is this true?
There is evidence to support it.
Hadn't U.S. boxer Reggie Jones
been robbed of a decision which
resulted in the subsequent firing
of the boxing judges. Hadn't
Wayne Collette and Vince
Matthews been forever bunned
from the Olympics for simply
not standing at attention during
the Nutional Anthem? Yes. Yet
if anyone is guilty of "corruptive
bureaucracy," it is good old
Uncle Sam himself.
The circumstances are different, but the results are on a
similar keel. Luck of communication about u new time schedule, robs Kddie Hart and Ray
Robinson the chance of accomplishing what they had worked
four hard years for. U.S. Olympic sprint couch, Stan Wright,

for I'sing :i "forbidden" drug to

Just perhaps, it was the U.S.
Olympi- Committee, who forgot
to tell lijck lie couldn't use it.
So, there are cries of outrage ut
the IOC and at Olympic officials, und most of the protests
ure just. Yet turn not America,
to correct international bureau
eracy before you yourself are
free from its grasp. Let us correct this situation in Munich, but
let us start here and now, first.

hope is they will be in top form

The freshman sensation of the

John Stanton and Paul DeMarco are returning from injuries which kept them out most
of last season. Preseason workouts shows that both men
should be ready for the season.
Two other freshmen have impressed Coach Munsey and their
Albany future looks bright. Both
Leo Smith and Phil Doyle are
making a rush at making the
varsity and they will give Albany
their best in the future. The
future is also bright because only
Abercrombie and Stanton are
seniors.
Overall the Albuny team has
depth, especially in the top
spots. Last year Albany found
itself outmanned in these spots
and it cost Albany a victory
against Colgate. This should be
no problem this year.
One major disappointment is
that Brockport has cancelled out
of the meet on September 16
Coach Munsey is willing to Luke
on anyone just to get some
competition before two tough
sucessive mutches. Last year
Montclair State beat Albany for
the first time by only two points
und the harriers want to avenge
that defeat. One week later Albuny take.-, on its toughest opponent, the Army, for the first
time. These two meets will show

New Phys - Ed Requirement
Shaping Up
Despite the fact that nobody
wants it, a physical education
requirement still remains the
only general undergraduate requirement at SUNYA due to a
policy of the State University
Trustees.
The State University Trustees's
policy, which was adopted on
November 9, 1967, was concerned with governing the
conduct of physical education
programs at the State University
of New York. The policy stated,
"It" shall be the policy of the
State University of New York
that all regular undergraduate
students of the State University
must complete a physical education program satisfactory to
the Chancellor of the University."
"Doctor Alfred Werner, Chairman of the Men's Physical Education
Department, commented that he doesn't expect to waive any part of
the four credit requirement for new freshmen at this time.1*
As a result of this policy, the
Faculty Senate on March 18,
1968 issued a revised physical
education plan which reaffirmed
the physical education requirement. The policy stated that
each undergraduate student
should fulfill a four unit or two
year requirement in physical
education over and above the
hour requirements for graduation. The plan called for a
revision of the program in
September, 1972.
"All entering freshmen who have a 4 credit
physical education requirement to satisfy will
have to take either three or two semesters...
depending on which courses are taken."
by Allen H. Altman
The final version of Lampert's
bill, which passed in the Senate,
proposed that the unit concept
for physical education be
changed to credit which would
be counted within the credits
required for graduation. The
maximum credit allowed in
physical education for courses
below the 300 level to be
cou n ted towards graduation
would be six credits and would
be graded "S" and "U". Credit
in physical education would not
be made retroactive to any previous date, but would begin with
the Fall, 1972 semester. The bill
recommended that all students
enroll in Foundations of Physical Education (PE 101), although it was not a requirement.
The bill also called for the
abolishment of the physical
education requirement at
SUNYA, if the Chancellor of the
State University would approve.
This request to the Chancellor
could only be acted upon if the
State University Trustee's policy
on physical education was
changed.
e x t e n d e d t o full semester
courses and will be worth one
credit. All entering freshman,
who have a 4 credit physical
education requirement to satisfy, will have to take either three
or two semesters of physical
education depending on which
courses are taken.

Vol. LIX, No. 31
State University of New York at Albany
Friday, September 15, 1972
AH upperclassmen now have a
one year requirement to fulfill
due to the fact that one year of
the original two year requirement was waived by the Undergraduate Academic Council. The
Physical Education Department
had requested that the Council
waive one year of the requirement due to their limited staff in
relation to the num hers of
students in the past. Doctor
Alfred Werner, Chairman of the
Men's Physical Education Department, commented that he
doesn't expect to waive any part
of the four credit requirement
for new freshmen at this time.
Werner, speaking on the requirement, said "that if the only
reason that students take physical education is because it is
•required, then it should be an
elective."
" 'If the only reason that students take physical
In October, 1971, the Senate
defeaLed a new revised physical
education program that had
passed the Curriculum Committee and the Undergraduate
Academic Council unanimously.
This left the old physical education program still in effect.
The defeaLed plan had called
for the granting of credit for
physical educ ation courses
within the hours required for
graduation. The Physical Education Department had urged
that the learning experiences in
the required courses warranted
the earning oF degree credit, and
t h a t t h e students attitude
toward physical education
would be improved by the
granting of credit.
As Lo the requirement, the
Physical Education Department
felt that physical education
should still continue us a requirement due to the fact that
Albany's admission requirements
are not bused on selecting
students with basic understandings and skills in physical
education and the fact that
physical education contributes
to the present and future physical and mental health of the
individual- The consensus against
the revision plan was that the
faculty opposed the credit while
the students opposed the re
quirements.
"A physical education requirement still remains the only general
undergraduate requirement at SUNYA."
At the end of the 1971-72
ac a d e rnie year, the Undergraduate Academic Council and
the Senate took more action
concerning the physical education requirement. The action
was taken on a bill proposed by
Mike Lamport, President of
Student Association.

education is because it is required, then it
should be an elective.' "
In a letter dated August 3,
1972, the Chancellor of the
State University, in response to
the Senate's request, stated that
the Executive Committee of the
Central Administration is discussing the issue of the physical
education requirement with the
intention of developing a recommendation for the Board of
Trustees. It was hoped that this
recommendation would result in
a new policy being issued by the
Board of Trustees concerning
the physical education requirement.
Robert B. Morris, Dean of
Undergraduate Studies, in a
memorandum stated "that he
expected the Alhuny request to
e l i m i n a t e required physical
education would precipitate an
overall policy for the State
University." He noted that no
action has been taken by the
Trustees for the Full, 1972
semester, therefore, physical
t* d u c a t ion continues to be
req u i red for graduation at
SUNYA. As soon as action is
taken by the Trustees, Dean
Morris assured, all faculty and
students on the Albany campus
would be notified.
Under the new physical education program, PE 101 will be a
two credit full semester course,
while all of the original quarter
semester activity courses will be
George McGovern: Calling America Home
One major problem that has
arisen due to the new program in
physicaleducation concerns the
student who has taken threequarters of a year of physical
education and only needs onequarter of a year more to fulfill
his requirement. Under the new
program, the student will have
to take a full semester course
since no quarter courses are offered. Werner, in reponse to this
p r o b l e m , c o m m e n t e d that
"when you have change, problems arise that can't be helped."
Werner claimed that it wouldn't
be possible to offer quarter
courses for students who found
themselves in this situation.
by B o b M a y e r
Michael I'Veedman, Undergraduate Studies, pointed out
that the working of the Board of
Trustees policy makes the physical education requirement very
flexible. He suggested that al
most any part of the present
physical education requirement
could be waived and still be
within the policy of the Trus
Lees. Freedman stated that he
ex pec ts the U ndergraduate
Academic Council to at least
waive two credits of tin* four
credit requirement for freshmen,
A survey taken of people in al!
phases of administration showed
that nobody favors the physical
education requirement anymore.
Thus the State University Trus
tee's policy continues to keep
the unwanted requirement in
existence at SUNYA.

George McGovern could not come to Albany with the
same optimism that accompanied him to Miami. One must
almost wonder whether the lonely, depressing days prior
to the Democratic primaries once again loom over the man
and his army of followers.
Yet there was a time when 70 per cent of the nation did
not know who he was. There was a time when drinking at
campaign parties was done to forget problems, not
celebrate victories. There was a time when the prairie man
from South Dakota was given no chance of capturing the
Democratic nomination and those who thought differently
were viewed as naive idealists. And what proved to be of
least importance, there was a time when Harris and Gallup
put McGovern's support between 3 and 5 per cent of
Democratic voters.
Yet McGovern had something to tell America and as
mora and more voters began to realize that they could
trust Muskie to commit himself to nothing, or that they
coundn't put Humpty Dumpty together again, a man some
said had no charisma began to look like a refreshing change
from the stale bread being offered.
And then came New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Michigan, and suddenlyTime and Newsweek started writ
ing about some kind of new political phenomena that was
beginning to make itself felt in American politics. As
Michigan and Wisconsin rolled by, it was becoming easier
to understand how a hard hat in Detroit was voting for the
same man as the student rebel in Madison. What strange
wonder was making its way into the political fiber of
America?
The answers became clearer as Democrats in Texas and
New Mexico voted, as Oregon and finally California made
their choice. A lot of people were fed up with the "old
politics" of political expediency and favoritism.
George McGovern went to Miami and it was his show all
the way, but things have not gone smoothly since. His first
vice-presidential running mate was forced to leave the
ticket because unlike the rest of America, he was guilty of
the morjl sin of psychiatric aid at onetime. His campaign
contributions have been challenged and the polls offer
little optimism. With all of this behind him and much more
