Arnold Colon, w h o has been

result of decreasing sales for t h e

savings in payroll and o t h e r
operating expenses. "Most of the

T h e union has survived against

bad policies of the .Johnson and

Organizing workers in agric u l t u r e is considerably m o r e difficult than organizing in an urban e n v i r o n m e n t . T h e UFW's

area which makes for easy comm u n i c a t i o n . T h e c o n d i t i o n s of

dealing with profit which might
mean 3 per t e n t , 4 per c e n t or

it's t h e o n e thing t h e growe-s
w a n t t o lake away from u s . "
As t h e UFW has b e c o m e m o r e
successful, growers have been
redoubling their efforts to lake
the b o y c o t t tool away. When the
grape b o y c o t t began, growers
sent their darling R o n a l d Reagen
to tell t h e world that his good
looks and health are directly

It is almost amusing to listen
to stories of t h e union before its
b o y c o t t strategy was a d o p t e d
According t o J i m Drake, "After
the grape strike started we were

The Farah Struggle:
by Robert Mayer
Each day the mail t h a t arrives
at the A l b a n y S t u d e n t Press is
dumped o n the various e d i t o r s
desk. Much of it finds itself in
t h e garbage only m i n u t e s after
delivery. Occasionally a letter of
i m p o r t a n c e is seriously read and
t h e n the e d i t o r is left with t h r e e
choices. He (or she) can t h r o w it
away, can file it (often as effective as t h r o w i n g it a w a y ) , or can
follow it u p with t h e i n t e n t i o n
of doing an article on it.
Several weeks ago I read a
letter that was addressed t o our
office mailed from t h e "Citizens
C o m m i t t e e for Justice for Farah
W o r k e r s . " T h a t was the first
time I heard of the group and I
am sure for m a n y of you this is
y o u r first knowledge of the
g r o u p . I was interested to learn
m o r e of t h e Farah workers and
soon discovered a n o t h e r tragicepisode in the history of American labor.

Sanford Rosenblum believes
that studenLs are the best hope
for the future of our country

work as a positive and effective
t o o l " for the individual. He's
concerned about the student's

making the judicial system work
for them.

firm, Rosenblum and Leventhal,
has been retained by the Student
Association in order to provide
free and easily accessible legal
advice for students. Rosenblum

agencies, and many more.

MARAT/SADE TONIGHT!

The great beauty of the pond has been marred by erosion and oil
pollution.
Gary Selwyn did the firsi sti
money and lots of time.
Face Lifting Planned for Campu
Continued from page one
As to any action, i f any, the commission will
finally take: this can not bo determined yet. One
thing is certain, that John Buckhoff and Walter
Tisdale will see that the money is spent; they say
they welcome advice but it is apparent they will not
wait for it.
Study Began Last March
I t has been a lone; road for Gary Selwyn. It began
even before last March when lie started his study
His interest in the pond stems from when he
camped in the woods by the water, something he
hus done several Limes And his euriousity was
stimulated further when he remembered seeing
hundreds of dead fish in the surface of the pond in
May o f 1971,
What was killing the fish'.' The answer to this
question would reveal much about the pollution in
the pond. In fact, much of Helwyn's study deals
with the simple question: "Is the pond a good place
to go fishing?"
Gary Selwyn believes that only the very hardy
goldfish can survive in the pond, thai the repeated
attempts at stocking the pond have all been doomed
because there is something in the pond that kills
fish. Walter Tisdale thinks Selwyn is wrong, that
bass flourish in the pond, that many people enjoy
good fishing there.
Tisdale, in a memo to commission members, states
that " A c c o r d i n g to frequent observations there have
been relatively few fish die, and by few, I mean ones
and t w o s . " Selwyn says thai in May of 1971 he saw
hundreds of dead fish in the surface of the
water. In the same memo, Tisdale, after mention
ing that the Department of Environmental Conser
vation stocks the pond annyally, claims that he has
"personally witnessed good catches of lake fish and
there have been other reliable reports that our fish
are thriving." Tisdale told Selwyn that Joe Garcia of
the Physical Education department has enjoyed
good fishing al the pond, Selwyn asked Garcia
about the fishing and was told the last time ho
fished there was six years ago. Garcia told Selwyn,
additionally, that he had not heard of good fishing
there for some years,
Selwyn also suggests that the goldfish may be too
strong competition for any bass, in terms of the
food available. If that is the case then a decision will
have to be made about future stocking efforts; it
may lie necessary to kill the goldfish to permit
another species to live. A l any rate, if Selwyn is
correct about the fish dying, then continued fish
stocking is useless waste.
Tisdale plays down the significance of oil in the
pond, staling that Selwyn reports only two-tenths
of a gallon in the pond at any given lime. Selwyn, in
rebuttal, points out that a quart of oil is enough to
pollute an acre of water. Me believes, too, lhal oil is
killing fish, but he can not prove this.
Tisdale does agree with Selwyn that Ihe oil flow
into Ihe lake should be stopped. Selwyn wants oil
traps placed in each of the drains of Ihe Dutch quad
lol and the Motor Pool. Buckhoff says that oil traps
in each of Ihe parking lot drains would be impractical, but thai an oil trap will be placed in the Motor
Pool, which be believes to be the main source o f oil
pollution.
Erosion Problem
Another possible reason lor fish not reproducing is
lhal silt, Ihe result of erosion, affects the spawning
grounds of fish. Selwyn says that Dr. McNaught of
the biology department told him thai fish eggs may
sink through the sill. The question of the effect of
sill on pond life is important, although Selwyn does
not know the answer. The fact is that the banks of
the pond have undergone considerable erosion, il
pond size has shrunk as a result. Selwyn points
the delta f o r m a t i o n at the northwest corner ul il
pond as evidence. More evidence is the I rees ne
the banks o f the p o n d ; they are tilted askew, tin
ground support eroded away. Selwyn says lb
many trees along the banks had to be cut dov
because they w o u l d have, eventually, fallen in tl
pond.
T o correct the erosion Selwyn wants the lw
spots along the banks planted. Buckhoff agree.*, ;n
he says he hopes lhat planting will be a pari ul i!
work done w i t h the $60,000, Buckhoff says ih
the money will pay for building up the-walls ol n
pond beneath the surface o f the water mi '
western side. Stone would be laid along the wall.
says, because they are collapsing.
Selwyn is pleased thai dredging will be done \v>
one reservation: that the biology department slim.

says the dredging will restore the pond U> its one.n
boundaries and depth, which is about I 1 feel at i
deepest point,

pond, t o the west end o f the lake, will M T V
practical purpose o f keeping open the pumps in i!
pond lhal take water to irrigate the fields Sin.
dredging operations have been done for this reasi
each of the last three years.
Oil pollution and erosion represent the wm
threats to the p o n d , says Selwyn. But before I
could reach this conclusion be had t o analyze otli
possible p o l l u t i o n in the pond. He bad l<> lest h
chemical and bacterial p o l l u t i o n , running the sort >
tests a health department would do on any pubJ
water. His results surprised and pleased him for <
the basis of the tests he ran, the pond was deenn
safe for drinking and swimming.
