Binghamton Bursts Booters' Bubble
by Nathan Salant
" D i s a p p o i n t e d , Yes. Discouraged, n o . " T h a t was C o a c h Bill
Schieffelin's reaction the d a y after
his b o o t e r s were eliminated from
the N C A A T o u r n a m e n t by visiting
B i n g h a m t o n . The g a m e itself w a s a
2-1, d o u b l e overtime m a r a t h o n ,
a n d very reminiscent of t h e first
meeting between these two clubs.
The difference, however, was the
o u t c o m e . The D a n e s played their
hearts out, but they just did not
click the way they had all season. In
fact, it was actually one of their
poorer showings, but that is what
t o u r n a m e n t tension and pressure
are all a b o u t .
It was quite a g a m e , a n d d o not
let a n y o n e tell you any different.
Over 2,000 fans braved the freezing
t e m p e r a t u r e s , biting winds, and
c o n t i n u o u s snow, a n d they all got
their money's worth. Both goalies
put on exceptional performances,
especially Albany's Henry Obwald
who was super in the nets. Defense
a n d missed opportunities were the
order of the d a y , a n d the style of
play.
At times, the game resembled a
hockey game, especially d u r i n g
those frequent periods of time in
which o n e team would d o m i n a t e
play, while t h e other
tried
desperately to clear the ball.
The g a m e itself w a s a true battle
between evenly matched teams,
and opened with
Binghamton
d o m i n a t i n g play. After a b o u t ten
minutes of allowing the visitors to
bang away at the Albany net, the
Danes got il together and reversed
the play. Ten minutes of Dane
Domination followed, but the
home team tailed to score. Soon,
play became fast and furious, with
excellent end-to-end action.
With 15 minutes gone in the
game, Obwald was caught on the
right side of the net, a n d Bob
Schlegel found himself the only
man in the way of N.Y. State's
number-two
scorer,
Charles
Uneweaver. His blast was stopped
by Schlegel. a n d the fans gave
S c h l e g e l a standing
ovation.
Minutes later, Uneweaver c a m e in
on a b r e a k a w a y , and Obwald
slopped him this time. Several
Dane drives were also falling short,
as Goldstein kept the Binghamton
d o o r shut.
It was a long cold Saturday afternoon for the soccer team
find-to-end action continued,
until with just 3 minutes left in the
hull, l x r o y Aldrick was fouled at
the 30-yard mark. The resultant
direct kick was booted a r o u n d in
front of the net, popped up in the
air, and was headed into the goal
hy Schlegel. The crowd went wild,
and it looked even better when the
half ended 1-0.
1 he second hall was characterized by more end-to-end action. Hie
D a n e s came out s m o k i n g , but were
cooled off by Goldstein. The tide
reversed itself, a n d Binghamton
began a five-minute p o u n d i n g of
the Dane net. A lull in the action
followed, and t h e n both t e a m s
began t o play sloppy soccer, failing
to complete passes or look for the
open man.
fact t h a t time had supposedly been
s t o p p e d . T h u s , the Danes were
deprived of a direct kick at the
Binghamton net with the possibility of a s c o r e highly probable.
Binghamton overcame this sloppiness first, and l o o k a d v a n t a g e of
the Danes' continued p o o r play.
With 15 minutes left in the game.
Binghamton began lo blitz the
Dane net. and Marty Friedman
heat Obwald two minutes later lo
knot the score,
The first overtime period saw
both t e a m s come close, but fail to
score. By the start of the second
overtime, it was obvious that both
teams were fro/en and tired. You
could sense that the winning goal
had lo come soon, as the players
were almost d r o p p i n g in their
tracks. With 2:30 gone in the second overtime, Binghamton scored
on a Dawson breakaway, and u
was all over.
I he Danes came right back after
the goal, sparked hy Leon Scdclian. who was playing his finest
game ever. A Hurry of shuts in
front of the Binghamton net
brought the crowd lo its feet, and
twice the Danes appeared to have
scored, only t o have Goldstein
make the save. Edgar M a r l i n e / was
deliberately tripped up on the
breakaway, but the officials failed
to notice what would have given
the Danes a penally kick.

Gridders Finish With Sweet Victory Over RPI
by Bill Heller
The Great Danes closed out I heir
first year of varsity football with a
28-3 win over the RPI Engineers
Saturday. The victory meant a 7-2
record for Albany, and a 4-2 edge
over varsity competition.
Although only l-H going into the

very tough schedule, a n d were actually picked to knock oft the
D.ines hy the Knickerbocker

they held the Danes to a 3-3 tie at

lime before the wishbone would
work.
Albany completely dominated

and limiting KIM to II yards total

very poor lirst hall, gui the Danes

of the triple option.
Scoring in the Inst ball was
limited to two held goals, a V.3varder by KIM's Gary Mangels,

Obviously fired up, the defense
immediately got the ball back for

K 1*1 pass and returned il to the
Engineers' 37.
The Danes quickly got a n o t h e r

Dickey's Disappearing Act
by Gary Rlcciar'dl
SASH Press Service
The circus has come and gone in
Cortland, and so has a tidy sum of
allegedly stolen funds. Hubert
Dickey.a Cortland Collegestudent
and former co-ordinatorof a committee whfch sponsored! " 1 e Cortland appearance of the Hanneford
Circus, has been charged with
grand larceny in the third degree.
Dickey has been charged with
the theft of $300 from Cortland
College's Circulating Fund Circus
checking account, and the case has
been bound over to the grand jury.
Dickey was in the custody of
Cortland's County Sheriff for
several days. Bail bond has been set
at $5000 and cash bond at $2500. A
campus fund drive was undertaken
to raise bail money for Dickey's
defense.
Bettveen July / |md 20 of this year,
Dickey deposited $2,525.95 in the
Circulating Fund account. The
Cortland student government has
since received copies of 15 checks
which Dickey allegedly cashed
from the account since late July.
The sum of the largest check is
$300.
In early October, Dickey was
scheduled to appear before the Circulating Fund committee to detail
what he knew of money found missing from thecommittee'saccount.
He never got to explain anything
to the committee. An hour before
the scheduled meeting, Cortland
Director of Campus Security
arrested Dickey at the urging of
Larry Summers, student government president.

reporter if he could live with the

consequences of Dickey's arrest,
Summers remarked, "lam."
Two days'before the scheduled
committee meeting, a college vicepresident informed Summers of
discrepancies in the Circulating
Fund account. The following day,
Summers contacted Glen Mauncy,
a member of the college union administrative staff, who is partially
responsible for paying bills consequent to the appearance of the
Hanneford Circus.
Mauney has since stated he was
"willing to wait" for Dickey's
p r o m i s e d e x p l a n a t i o n of
descrepanciesin the account before
considering legal action^
After being briefed'of the status
of the account, Summerscontactcd
Dickey. Dickey refused to meet
with Summers then, saying his full
explanation would be forthcoming
at the following day's committee
meeting.
Summers didn't like that. The
morning of the following day he
contacted McHugh. and McHugh
put out the word on Dickey.
Dickey was arraigned for grand
larceny at about the time he had
been scheduW to speak before the
committee.
Summers instigated the arrest
because he was afraid Dickey
might "skip town." he told a Cortland student newspaper reporter.
Paradoxically. Summers was
aware of ihe account's discrepancies fully three weeks before the
arrest and belore his talks with
Mauney. according to Cortland's
newspaper, The Prt'n.

Mss Woods Testifies NSA Pushes For Student Union
By H«rty F . R o t o r t h i l
Associated P i c a Writer
by Philip Senas
W A S H I N G T O N A P - President Nixon's personal secretary. Rose Mary
Woods, testified today that she had listened only to one part of a
Watergate-related tape recording that the White House says is missing an
18-minute segment.
During Miss Woods' testimony, U.S. District Judge John J . Sirica said
that subpoenaed White House tape recordings were to be turned over to
h im later in the d a y . ' He gave no'details o f the transfer of .the controversial
tapes, long sought by federal prosecutors.
Miss Woods testified that she transcribed the taped portion of a June 20
1972 conversation that the President had with aide John S. Ehrlichman in
his old Executive Office Building office.
The red-haired secretary said she then also took down a portion when
H.R. Haldeman first entered the office and all three men were speaking.
She said she listened to the tape only long enough to becertain Ehrlichman
had left the room.
The White House says 18 minutesofNixon'sJune 20 conversation with
former chief of staff Haldeman is obliterated by anaudible tone and no conversation can be heard.
There were published reports over the weekend that Miss Woods would
testify that she accidentally erased the 18 minutes but questioning had not
progressed to that point in a one-hour morning session.
Miss Woods testified that last week she twice listened toaduplicateofthe
June 20 tape and said "we listened to what has been called a I. of other
names - a mistake."
She offered to explain but was interrupted by Watergate prosecution
force lawyer Jill Volner, who was attempting to establish what portions of
the tape' Miss Woods had listened to.
Miss Woods, who has been President Nixon's personal secretary for 23
years, was warned of her constitutional rights to remain silent and to consult with her lawyer as thequestioning began. It was only the second time in
the federal court tapes hearings-which resumed today after a two-week
recess-that a witness was so warned, The other witness was Haldeman.
Miss Woods said that she was under the impression that theHaldeman,
portion of the June 20 conversation was not included in the prosecutor's
subpoena for nine Watergate tapes. The White House has said that two of
the nine lapes do not exist, a disclosure that led to the hearing in Sirica's
courtroom.
Miss Woods repeated testimonyshc gavepn Nov. 8 that on Sept. 29 at
Camp David, M d . , she was given eight tapes to transcribe. The first of these
was the June 20 meeting.
But she said that when she got to Camp D a v i d , Alexander M . Haig J r.
phoned her lo say thai she was not to type the Haldeman portion of the
June 20 tape. Haig is now Nixon's chief of staff.
" I took the message from Gen. Haigand 1 thoughl. thank heavens, I don't
have lo type Ihe rest of it," she said.
"When I testified in court on Nov. 8 I was still under the impression thai
ihe Haldeman portion of the conversation wasnot subpoenaed," she said.
She said the President was in her cabin for 5 to 10 minutes on Sept. 29
when she complained about how difficult it was lo hear conversations
accuratel)
Miss Woods testified thai the President listened for about five or ten
minuicsand said. "Idon't sechow you'regettinganything.'... lie mentioned
hearing two or three voices and said he didn't |sce how 1 was get ting any of
it."
Asked whether she listened to the portion involving Haldeman and the
President.
Miss Woods said:
" I did listen to the first part o l it so I could be sure John l-.hrlichman was
gone Irom the room. I listened only until they talked about something involving Ely, Nev., where Mrs. Nixon was born."
At that point White .louse lawyer 1-eonard Gunnel asked lor a bench
conference and shortly thereafter Sirica recessed the hearing for lunch.
Sirica had suggested last week lhal the subpoenaed White House tapes be
turned over lo him.

If the leaders of the National
Student Association have their
way, college administrators will
soon be bargaining not only with
unions of janitors, secretaries, and
professors but also with unions of
students.
For the the third straight year,
talk of creating a national student
union wasadominanl themeatthe
association's annual National Student Congress.
Delegates passed a resolution
declaring unionization of students
to bea top priority and establishing
a three member task force "to investigate and work towards the unioni?ation that express interest in
unionization."
The resolution also declared that
N.S.A. would "be the national
collective bargaining agent on
campuses subject to the approval
of each individual campus."
As a first step, Ihe association's
new president, Larry Friedman of
Queens College in New York City,
said he wanted lo prepare "model
'contracts' between students and
their schools" lo help students
prepare to "cope with ihe realities
of faculty unions."
Ihe students had al least two
goals for creating a union:
- - Resuscitating ihe moribund
national studcnl movement.
- - Meeting the challenge ol
faculty
collective
bargaining,
which student leaders lear will
leave them oul in Ihe cold.
Ihe students generally agreed
lhal Ihe national student movement that dominated the I960's
was dead. "We arc here in Miami
Beach fin die funeral of the student
movement." said Ron Iihrenreich.
the o u t g o i n g
NSA
VicePresident,
Delegates tell lhal the creation
ol a national student political
organization such as an individual
member national union ol students
which, is whiii most European
countries have, could turn some
student energy back to national
issues.
Concern about the clfects of increasing liieully unionization was
also apparent.
American
Federation
ol
l e a t h e r s Representative
Israel
Kuglci told one session ol slmlents
lhal students and lacully shared
such areas of common concern as
class s i / c , physical facilities,
academic Ireedom, ami ihe overusc o l
graduate
trenching
assistants lie said the A.I- I. hasa
slogan
"What students want,
teachers need" ami that it "advocates lliat students iHgani/iie
ami bargain mi then own uvci
issues that concern them and gel
ml ol the shameful luciidc called
student government."
Alan Shark,chairman of the student senate at the City University,
said the union's suggestion that
students organize and bargain
separately really means t h a ' *hey
want students to bargain over dormitory rules and student ' services
and let the faculty take care of
promotion, tenure, curriculus, and
class size.
He suggested that a student union
could negotiate over such things as
student evaluation of faculty
members, grievanceproceduresfor
students treated unfairly by
professors or
administrators,
grading policies, class size, and
academic freedom.
"There is
n o t h i n g in faculty collective
bargaining lhal involves protecting
students," Shark said.
"Faculty
unionization is lo protect faculty
rights'
Ihe way to counter that, he and
others argue, is for students to
form their own unions. While most
of the students supported the idea
of studen unionization, many
questioned whether N.S.A. is the
best organization for crealing a union.
In thesix years since it stopped
taking money from the Central Intelligence Agency, N.S.A. has had
to devote much ofi tsenergy to simple financial survival. In the years
immediately after its C.I.A. ties
were revealed, N.S.A.'s deficits
grew to half a million dollars.
Over the last few years N.S.A.
has reduced that debt to the point
where it is now down to $25,000.
Even so, N.S.A. endured another
financial crises this year, mainly
because i l d i d nol gel the support
Irom private foundations that it
had received in ihe past
Outgoing president l i m Htggins
suggested lhal the Association's
financial resources would really
only allow it to carry on its mosl
basic programs, such as pioviding

Higginsargued that N S A . rauS|

funds and recognition by their universities.
O t h e r s disagreed. In (act,
N.S.A.'s ;status as an association of
student governments was one of
the' things that made some critics
question whether it could serveasa
j u m p i n g off point for a student union.
"Student
governments are
bankrupt," said Ehrcnreich, last
year's vice-president, who split
with Higgins. "You can't woik
through
student governments
because
they don't tepresent
students"
Critics also pointed out that unionization had been declared a top
priority at the last two \ S A.
congresses .but. very little hail actually been done about 11 |hey
blamed
this on the NSA.
leadership and the association's
"top-down organization " Iliggins
responded that advocates ol unionization themselves had been
unwilling to do the haul work that
is needed.
What made this yeai ditletcnl,
some observers said, is the tlueatol

the fact thai this N.S A congress

A Question Of Rhetoric
T o the Editor:
I list these few brief p o i n t s m a n a t t e m p t t o
defend my position in "Higher E d u c a t i o n "
( A S P , Nov. 13) as attacked in a letter by M s .
Marleen Barr ( A S P . Nov. 16):
(1) Ms. Barr asks rhetorically, " W h a t is
w r o n g with stimulating communication o f a
physical nature?" I never once in that article
implied that anything was w r o n g o r improper with such communication. I a d m i t
not being able lo survive physically o r
emotionally without it. My point w a s t h a t a s
the primary means of c o m u n i c a t i o n a t a u n iversity it is just plainly inadequate.
(2) Again in a rhetorical question, M s .
Barr asks, "How oftcn|do professors concentrate on triviality instead of intellectual
growth'.'" I welcome this opportunity to ask a
lew of my own rhetorical questions. Are the
names of seventeenth century A M H ! a r tists trivial? Is the metre in Chaucer trivial? Is
the origin of R o m a n religion trivial? Are t h e
names Melville gave t o characters of h i s o w n
imagination trivial? I could myself p r o d u c e
m a n y students w h o would a n s w e r y e s t o all
these questions. W h y they are here is
beyond my imagination (the degree d o e s n ' t
even get o n e a j o b these days).
(3)My complaint in the article w a s n o t s o
much a b o u t the school a s it w a s a b o u t t h e
sttittenis.
1 feel there are teachers w h o s e
knowledge and understanding I can effectively a n d enjoyably t a p . My wish is t h a t
t h e r e w c r c more students with whom Icould
a s profitably c o m m u n i c a t e . M s . Barr c o m plains that "the 'Jniwniiy
is t o o big, t o o
bureaucratic and t o o f a r g o n e . " I c a n ' t h e l p b u t
wonder whyshe remains here, tuition a l o n e
lor a B.A. or 3 . S. averages a b o u t $3,000.

Technically, the sound of the
music is belter than ever. The band
is probably the tightest one Butterfield has put together. Butterfield's
blues harmonica is approaching
the rawness of his earlier albums,
;is he seems to be bringing it closer
to the microphone. Geoff M u l daur is putting a new edge on
Butterfield blues with his frequent
country slide style guitar. But
something that worked well in the
first Better LXiys album seems to be
missing in the second oneIt eomesdown to this: the album
is suffering from malnutritionWhile it is receiving very guod
ii mounts ol fine playing ability and
technical excellence, it is missing
something that is preventing it
from "becoming all that it is
capable of being." Diagnosis: intake deficiency. Specifically-lack

Paul Butterfield must have been
in an optimistic frame of mind
when he dropped the old "Blues
Band" title for his current group's
"Better Days" moniker. After
releasing several loose and disappointing albums that are best
forgotten, Butterfield managed to
pull himself together again. This
process of getting back in shape led
to a strong album appropriately
titled Better Days featuring his
group of the same name.

should go to Ronnie Barron who
wrote the song and who put out a
mighty good vocal.
One part ol the album got some
good material hut not enough to
put it on the top. "Louisiana
H o o d " could have been the best
cut on the album. It opens with a
simple yet seductive rhythm that
whets the appetite and gives cause
lor risingexpectations. Ihe listener
discovers, however, that
this
"tease" is the core of the song. His
frustration peaks as the song closes
and all he is lelt with is a catchy
beat but no lollow-up or development. At this point he may have to
resort to some hard blues-rock like
Slick i /V/jeers where he knows he
can be sure id releasing the pent-up
energy, which was started by a

but the music is even more predictable, and undergoes very little
change or variation until the fadeout ending. Butterfield has pulled
this before. Translated the song
seems to say. "You are getting
sleepy, etc...You will wake twenty
seconds before the song is overand
remember nothing in between now
and then." Actually, you don't
have to be told not to rememberthere is nothing to remember.
Then there are the other afflicted
parts. "Win Or Lose" is album filler
material loaded with more of those
deja-vu blues lyrics. They're from
the "You're gonna live, you're gonna die. you can laugh and you can
cry" school of lyrics. Authors Bobby Charles and Butterfield, I'd
guess, are trying to avoid the mess
.John Mayall gets into when he
starts to sing contemporary and

plays various combinations of
organs, bass, electric and accoustk
guitars, flageolet (an instrument
similar to a recorder), grand piano,
and glockenspiel. He makes his
transitions from soft accoustk
music into heavier electric and
back again so that the continuity of
the piece is kept intact. Some of the
music is soothing-and refreshing,
particularly where he uses Sally
Oldfield and Mundy Ellis as a
chorus. There are" other parts
which provide sufficient scratching
for the rock itch.

is
a
bit
repetitious, which may be another
reason why Tubular Belli is good
studying music, but Oldfield discontinues these repetitions just
before they become annoying, and
turns our attention to another
theme or instrumentation. He
seems to sense how far he can push
the listener and how much can be
tolerated before they criticize him
for padding his music. The total
effect of each piece tends to
deemphasi/c the repetition that occurs and it converts repetition into
an acceptable reinforcement of the
mood.
Tubular Bells, with its structure
of flow, is an entertaining study in
mood change and the manipulation of music for creating a setting.
It is not the most spectacular most
innovative rock albumto have ever
been produced, but it certainly is
worth several listenings.

Tubular:
Bells is an excursion
through different instrumentations
and themes written and performed,
for the most part, by Mike Oldfield. Each side is one whole
"piece" with a number of changes
of mood taking place during the
course of the playing.
The more exotic of the two sides,
Side I comes off as music to accompany you as you experience a
strange and distant land. The
music itself isn't extremely strange
hut il is very suggestive to that
effect. Sounds of bells and mandolin arc among the most important colorings to this side of the
album. Curiously, the piece leads
up to Vivian Stanshall (of the Bonzo Dog Band) introducing, in all
his British eloquence, the names of
various instruments as they are
played.

GWcfefersiYo/wtflr Schedule Will Change Things
by Bruce Maggin
For coach Bob Ford and his football team, 1973 was an interesting beginning for varsity
football here at Albany Suite. It
was a year of continued success and
improvement with the DanestoUvlly dominating their three club
rivals. Albany finished with a very
respectable 7-2 record.
D a n e ^ n t h e i r final game against RPI.
Albany Is hopeful for a
Perhaps Albany was too
successful. The Danes were caught
in between a schedule that was just
too easy. Four years ago. nobody
could have predicted that the football team would be able to make so
much progress, I he program just
advanced quicker than the
schedule, I cams that Albany was
playing almost evenly in previous
years were blasted oil the Held tins
year. Coach lord feels that the
schedule had a bad effect on the
players. 'Some kids fell that they
were super ball players alter those
games." However. Albany's
schedule will start improving next
year with all ol Albany's
obligations with club teams ending. I he Danes will play RIM.

and Brock port. Albany had booked Drexel loi next year, but they
announced on I hursdav that they
were dropping football. Albany
has had the problem oi finding
schools with open dates, as many
of the better small college teams
book three to four years in advance. R ight now, the team is faced
with three open dales, but there is
talk of playing some really fine opposition.
Ford is not sure where the football program is going. "1 feel the
team will eventually level off."
This will probably happen when
Albany meets teams like Ithaca
and Cortland in '75 and "76. The
Danes will be al a distinct disadvantage before the team even takes
the field: Alhunv has only two fulltime coaches, white the teams the
Danes will he lacing have as many
as five lull-time coaches. 1 here is
slill the never ending problem ol
money and recruiting;.
Also, there is a problem with
fans. I lie students who do come to
the games have known nothing but
success over the last lew years. In

since 1171. I he Danes have gone

Alleged Danes Discrimination Probed
by Bill Heller
This is the lirst part of a two
part series. In my three years ol'
covering the Great Danes, I
have heard and seen a lot of interesting things concerning
racism at Alhany. My goal in
writing this is to enlighten people, but most importantly to get
the facts out and the myths
buried.
The series will be
limited to football and basketball, the two sports I regularly
cover, although I regret I didn't
have the lime to extend it.
Baseball was supposed to be included but Coach Burlingame
is away on sabatical.
What is racism in sports?
The term itself involves many
aspects especially when applied
to the world ol the athlete.
Racism can be slacking
Blacks in certain positions, outright discrimination, a quota
system, or playing whiles solely
to appease while dominated
audiences. Kucism can also be
an excuse, and nothing more an excuse for nol playing, not
making a team or not performing well.
Although sports at Albany
are small college, they often
m i r r o r s i t u a t i o n s in the
professional leagues. Because
ol thai, comparisons to the big
leagues arc pertinent and may
throw added insight to the
world of SUNYA.
I he most intelligent remark I
ever read about sports was by
Howard Cosell in a Playboy
interview.
Cosell said that
sports is a microcosm, a
miniature society in itself. Just
as there is conflict, racism, and
ugly situations in the outside
world, there are these things in
sport.
As long as there is
human competition in sports,
there will be human problems.
"He'll never get
tired. He's a
Supernigger."
Although I had been vaguely
familiar with the idea ol slacking in loolball, I never really
thought about ils implications
until I interviewed Carvin
I'ayne.
C a r v i n was a
sophomore halfback, a good
one, who has since lelt Albany.
"Ol course you
have no
Black quarterbacks. What do
you use a Black lor'.' (live him
the ball and let him run, run,
run. He'll never get tired. He's
a Supernigger."
Is it true'.' A look at the pros
reveals a chronic absence of
Dlack quarterbacks, also Black
centers. Besides Willy Uinicr,
one is likewise hardpressed to
come up with Black middlel i n e b a c k e r s , the defensive
quarterback of a team. W h y - i s
it racism, slacking, stereotyping Blacks as unable to think,
unable to lead'.' And what of
Albany'.'
I o begin with, there have
been two recent Black quarterbacks on the (ireat Danes:
Kick Petty, who played quite a
bit two years ago, and Don
Whiiely on this year's squad.
However, neither were permanent fixtures.
When Petty surprisingly
didn't come out lasl year, people wondered why. The year
before he had split the quarterback job with Bill ITanagan; he
figured lo have a good shot al
being number one.
Immediately Ihere wercrumorsbl
racism, file same Mr. I'ayne
inlormed me thai Petty didn't
come out because Coach Hob
l o r d would never go with a
Black lor his top quarterback,
false.
Upon checking the story,and
then verifying it with Blacks on
the team, I learned thai Petty
gave up loolball for two
reasons.
I he biggest was
academic; Petty wauled to
g r a d u a t e a year
early,
something football would interfere with. Also, he was having trouble adapting lo the new
Wishbone, as did freshman
Whiiely this year, whohussince
moved to end on his own request.
l o r d says that everyone who
goes out lor loolball is Healed
equality, regardless ol
racc,
color, creed or money. "When
everyone comes mil, we ask
I hem what position they want
lo play." In general, f o a l feels
lhal "in lour years here, we've
had tremendous relationships
belween our athletes.,.We've
also had Black leaders." Along
llvese lines, he cites Ron Gardner, Marvin Perry, and liny
"I haven't seen
any racial problems
on the team."
Ilolloway as being "excellent"
examples on this year's squad.
I inning to Ihe pros, l o r d
says. "I think there's enough
pressure on a coach lo win...I
can't believe Ihere'd he a pro
coach who wouldn't start a
Black quarlerback who was
belter than a whiteqb...lle'd he
in danger ol being fired."
Concerning Ihe notion ol
placating while crowds, and or
while owners by forcing while
players into the lineup, he
stales, "It might be. I like lo see
a gieatgame. I don't curu who's
playing. Iliere have been some
clubs throughout their history
that have been extremely resistant to letting Blacks play, like
the Boston Red Sox in
baseball."
"Maybe ihe lack ol Black
quarterbacks goesu lower levels
like high school and earlier,"
l o r d continued. "Maybe then
Black kids are stereotyped into
positions when Ihey're very
young. Also, there are no Black
quarterbacks to emulate lor
y o u n g k ids., .only running
backs and ends."
Goodman Lawsuit Against Kendall Dismissed
by David turner
and Glenn von
Nostilz
Former Assistant Professor
David Goodman's $100,000 lawsuit against Associate Dean
Richard Kendall has heen thrown
out of court.
State Supreme Court Justice
Hdward Conway, presiding at an
Albany County Special term,
granted a motion to dismiss
Goodman's complaint hecause
Kendall was acting in an official
capacity, and he is afforded in that
capacity "absolute privilege with
respect to statements and conclusions such as contained in the
letters and statements" that were
Goodman's basis for action.
Goodman had attempted to sue
Kendall personally, rather than officially.
Conway also ruled that thceomplaint failed to allege special
damages with particularity and
that the charges were therefore "insufficient as a complaint in action
for a prima facie tort."
Not Ihe end
Conway's decision does nol
represent the end ol the legal controversy. According to Cioodman
and his lawyer, Sanlbrd Softer,
they will he taking other action
within the next tew months against
Kendall, although they maintain it
is still premature to announce exactly what they plan to do.
"Kendall is nol oui of the woods
yet" Goodman said in a recent interview.
Ihe former assistant
professor staled that there arc
"several alternatives" lor him to
lake, and that "we've got a long,
long time before this is all over."
Soffer feels that Goodman still
hasagood case, and said hcwilldo
everything possible to back his
dient. Comments iheattorney: "If
he didn't have a good case. I
wouldn't have taken in on in the
first place."
Kendall refused to make any immedtitle comment on the case, and
asked that reporters address any
questions to him in writing.
out that Kendallcoulddo anything
he wants without fear of reprisal."
Administration spokesman Ted
Jennings said that while there can
be no official comment on thecase
by the administration, since "The
Administration isn't really involved in Goodman's case so it
really shouldn't have much to say"
he acknowledged that, "the University is pleased that the case has
been settled, if indeed it has in fact
been settled. Of course the administrators are not lawyers and
we don't realty know if the ruling
closed the issure." Mr. Jennings
emphasized that he couldn't speak
for the President's office and that
the President should not get involved in the issue.
The Response
Reaction to the dismissal ol
Good man's case was extremely
guarded, as students, faculty, and
administrators were careful in their
expression ol opinion over both
ihe meaning ol the decision and its
possible future implications on the
entire tenure process.
Vice-President for Academic Affairs Philip Sirnlkin said he
hesitated to comment on Judge
Conway's action lorlcarol prejudicing any possible appeal on ihe pail
ol professor Cioodman, should he
decide to act in lhal direction.
Siroikin did reiterate his agreeinenl with Conway's beliel that
Kendall was m laei acting within
the scope ol his employment as
history department chairmen, "il
was his job lo transmit his
recommendations concerning
tenure on any candidate, and the
judge obviously fell that he was in
the process of doing this when
Goodman issued his charges,"
Sirotki n si id.
Professor Carolyn Waterman,
ihe controversial teacher ol the
Psychology department who just
Goodman's first slop on the grievance trail was In Vice President Lewis
Welch's Office for University Affairs,
last year received tenure, commented that she was nol surprised
at the court's decision.
"The
court's decision", Waterman said,
"was quite consistent with its
policy ol always ruling with iheadnunislration on any issue." They
have always sided against opposition to administration dominance.

defensive tackle, has been on

lie said, "I haven't seen any
racial problems on the team, or
Black players nol gelling playing lime."
" I Ins \ear. there's a lot ol
guys. Black and while, who Icel
lliey should he playing more."
I iny commented. "Coaching is
nol an easy thing.
there'll
always be complaints Irom people not playing. But thal'sgood

"Von can'l look al Ihiiigsand
say the coach is a racist. Look
and see what is behind your nol
playing - what does Ihe other
player have lhal you don't'.'"
there was one lasl question
lor Coach l o r d :
Would he
start 22 Blacks if they were bis
best players?
"I think I
probably would," ford said.
"My objective is to win."

Doc... and some touchy issues.
she contended.
Stronger language came from
Dr. Curt Smith of the English
Department, whosecase lorlenure
is up for review this month. "It
shows, as far as the courts a re concerned, that the University must
resolve itsown alfairsand leavethe
courts out ot it," Smith said. "It's
only obvious by now that all
reform in the tenure system must
come from within the University."
In his statement. Smith cited Judge
Conwa y's explanation of his decision to dismiss ihe case.
Conway ruled that Kendall is
given an absolute voice with
respect to any statements such as
those thai were in ihe letters thai
served as ihe basis loi his refusal to
recommend Goodman tor tenure,
In addition, Goodman's ease tailed

Vice-President for University
Affairs Lewis P. Welch was quite
apprehensive about commenting
on the Judge's ruling. He did say
that "Goodman seemed to have ex hausted all the official channels
open to him. though 1 really can't
be sure...Certainly Kendall is
pleased with the decision...but the
Administration doesn't have any
opinion out ihe events." "I'm really
not thai familiar with his case."
Welch continued, "and I really
don't have any personal opinion
other than that he used all the
proper channels tor grievance."
Welch outlined the "proper
channels" as a series of five sleps,
the first louihcing statccontrolled,
due lo the lacl that all those involved in deciding a grievance,
