Cagers Open Season Tomorrow
by Bruce Maggin
Tomorrow evening a young and
vastly inexperienced Albany State
basketball team will open up their
73-74 varsity campaignat Williams
Gone from last year's squad arc
five seniors including all three
guirds. This will put the pressure
on R c g g i c S m i t h , B y r o n M i l l e r a n d
Harry Johnson, who are the only
returning vetcrens.
Seven new
players grace the roster and it will
he Coach Richard Sauers j o b to
shape the team into a formidable
unit.
The problem on the team is
naturally at guard.
Freshmen
Mike Supcunowiez, Ed Johnson
and Gary Irevett have all looked
gcxid in spots but they have a [ s 0
been
very
inconsistent.
Supcunowic/, a local hoy from
I.in ton High.led hisschool in scoring and has a line outside shot.
Irevett. another local product
from Scotia, is a good playmuker
and a line dribbler. l:d Johnson is
the quickest man on the team and
has an excel lent shot. Sauers says
" H e is going lo be some player."
Rich Kapner. up Iroin the j u n i o r
varsity, is a dillcrent breed ol
ballplayer when compared to the
freshmen. He is morepoised. Rich
is not spectacular bin he gels ihe
job done. Unfortunately, he is now
suffering from a bad charley horse.
Doc Sauers is slill unsure as to
who will start at guard but he is
c o n f i d e n t t h a i someone will
emerge before the year is out.
Uiok lor Ed Johnson and Kapner
lo slarl in tomorrow'sgame.
If A Ibany is going anywhere this
yea r it wil I have to get a strong perlormance from the reluming
towards. Doc Sauers is concerned
about the Danes'Tcbounding with
most o f the opposilion'sfront line
having a hundred pound advantage over the Danes. "I feel Harry
and Byron can still average in double figures in rebounding." Harry
Johnson w i l l handle the pivot but
faces the awesone task of playing
against centers much bigger and
stronger than him. He will have to
endure a great deal o f punishment
under the boards. Harold Merritt,
who did anoutstanding j o b on last
years JV will be Harry's backup.
Co-captains Byron Miller and
Reggie Smith will be counted on
heavily to put the ball in the hoop
and perhaps more importantly
provide the team with that much
needed leadership.
Miller, last
year's AS!* athlete of the year,
musl contribute greatly under the
boears.
Rounding out the Danes lineup
arc Jose Alicea. Mel Brown, and
Ron Edmonds. They all could see
more act ion as the season
progresses but right now. they will
make up the bench. I'ele Koola
will play JV hall Ihis semester to
keep himself in shape for mext
semester, when he becomes eligible
lor ihe varsity squad.
Ihe Danes have scrimmaged
ugainsl
Hartford, AIC
and
Southhampton and came out
about even, point wise. Ihe team
looked the best when itranbttthad
trouble slowing down, lomierly a
Dane strong point.
Doc Sauers doesn't care lomake
any predictions lor the season " I
/f.
Ihe team, however, doesn'l get
any help from theschcdulc. W i t h a
young team, it is an advantage to
open up at home but Albany must
play their first three games oa the
road ynd they don'l return home
until right before finals'litis hasto
put added pressure on the team.
Ihe schedule itself is a tough one
with the Danes competing in Ihe
rough SUNY conference,

Judaic Books Purchased
In a unique cooperative venture,
State University o f New Y o r k at
Albany and the Albany Jewish
community have purchased an outs t a n d i n g ' collection of Judaic
books for the library. Under the
leadership o f the late Samuel
Aronowitz, together with three
other Albanians, Lester K o m m i t ,
Leo Phaff, and Sidney Albert, the
fund-raising effort in support o f
the project was launched in the
Jewish
community.
Mr.
Aronow ilz was the recipient o f the
first Citizen of the University
Award from the S U N Y A Alurnni
Associa tion, and for 17 years served as president of the University
Benevolent Association.
The collection includes, some
6,400 works in Arabic, English,
French, German, Hebrew, Polish,
Russian, and in other languages,
some of which belong in the
category of rare books, while
othersare unavailable even in outstanding libraries. Although the
collection w i l l be available to the
entire university community, the
primary users are expected to be
faculty and students of the Department o f Judaic Studies. The
department currently has approximately 300 students enrolled
i n a variety o f courses and a
proposal for an academic major in
Judaic Studies is being considered
by appropriate university c o m -
m ittces.
The Judaic Collection will be
dedicated in a public ceremony
Sunday,Dec.9,at2:30p.m. in Lecture Center Center IK. Alfred
Goltsdialk, president of Hebrew
Union College, will be Ihe main
speaker. Other participants will be

President Louis T .
Bcnczel: Mr. Kommit. president of
the Jewish Community Council;
Jerome Eckstein, chairman of the
university's department of Judaic

sources and uses, and the kind of
environment they want to have, as
the centuries go by at the rate of
one a minute. The simulator, one
of three in the world, isa solid state

Saturday's meeting started off w i t h two sets o f £
workshops, with an intervening lunch break. Most of t h e g
workshops were led by the seven N Y P I R G staffjg
members (all fuUtimc) who discussed some of the public j |
interest research they are working o n . One P I R G |
workshop discussed political reform. PIRO p e o p l e h a v e j
testified in the State Legislature about making all;:;:

in seeing them, about keeping lobbying records, and |
"'her important reform issues.

Ilie theme for lliis year's Holiday Sing is "Saturnalia." This is an
ancient Roman festival celebrating
the winter solstice.
In paying
tribute to this festival, the g y m nasium will be decorated in the
tradilnnal R o m a n style. Posters
and programs will also manifest a
touch ol this ancient occasion.
The actual performances, however.
Many students seem to feel that
there is a paucity of traditional
events here at Albany. For them
the Holiday Sing helps assuage
their distress.
For many other
students it is merely an event to
which they can go and have a good
liem. Whatever their motives for
attending, a big turnout is expected
for the occasion this Sunday night.

Impeachment Urged On Grass Roots Level
by Curt KocHcr
( C P S ) - Under the Constitution
impeachment charges against a
Presidentmust be formalized in the
H o u s e and tried in the Senate, a
time-consuming process involving
committees, partisanship, power
and politics. Yet in meeting houses
and schools, in union halls and o n
sidewalks across the nation impeachment proceedings against
President Richard N i x o n have
already begun.
In Wisconsin, a state representative holdsan informal hearing on

organization's support for impeachment and Citizen's Action
prints 50,000 pamphlets entitled
"Decision for the People."
Newspapers are filled
with
columns, letters, editorials, a n d
"impeachment poll" results. C o n gressional staffs a r e flooded with
mail a n d phone calls and a d ditional help is added on t o deal
with the crush. Everywhere are
petitioners, collecting signature
after signature, pro and c o n . on impeachment.
The seriousness o f the matter
shows itself in the words o f those
who seek to impeach and those
who question why. "Under these
circumstances it is imperative that
the people and their representatives carefully examine the
issues, the evidence, and theoverall
situation before coming t o a decision that will reverberate for as
many years as America remains a
republic," writes Jerry Jackson in
the Emory Wheel. "Such a decision
is to be taken neither lightly nor
heatedly," he cautions.
One of thefirst thingsjhosewho
teach about impeachment say is
that impeachment itself is not conviction, only the formal presentation and airing o f charges. Many
regard impeachment as a positive
and honorable w a y to find truth
and
restore
respectability
to
government.
' P e o p l e a r e scared." said o n e
Denver w o m a n w h o said she supported impeachment because it
would "get things going so people
can believe in their President
again." R e p . P a l Schroeder ( D Colo.) said, " I m p e a c h m e n t is the
ultimate means of preserving o u r
g o v e r n m e n t u n d e r law."
O t h e r find the list of alleged
White House crimes ' u n e n d i n g "
and say their tolerance h a s been
stretched too far. Some have a
single goal: stripping R i c h a r d N i x on of his presidential powers.
Asked what the goals of his
group were, a n ACLU spokesman
replied, "First, 218 voles in the
House." T h e ACLU considers
itself a constitutional lobby, said
the spokesman, and P r e s i d e n t N i x on " h a s c o n s i s t e n t l y a n d repeatedly
violated the C o n s t i t u t i o n . "
According to the spokesman the
A C L U stand is unprecedented in
their history, though he claimed
every President h a s violated the
Constitution in one form or
another. The spokesman described
the list of violations of Con-,
stitutional guarantees committed
in the name of the Nixon administration as "as long as your
a r m " and added, "We have never
been so terrified of an incumbent as
now."
T h o u g h many who work for impeachment today a r e those w h o
fought against the War a few years
ago, the tactics are different. N o
massive demonstrations of the
kind that b r o u g h t h u n d r e d s of
thousands to the nations's capital
are planned as yet, and no group
has sprung u p to coordinate such
an effort.
As a staff member for the
National Student
Association
(NSA) said, "We're going to wait
for the groundswell to reach
Washington this time." He said impeachment groups were concentrating o n education and explaining the reasons for impeachment
rather than calling for a specific action. T h e NSA s'taff member cited
the example of. the national
organization, A F L - C I O sending
information packets to its locals
but letting each separate group
take its own sUind.
Rep. P a u l N . McCloskey Jr. (RCaliC), at a recent meeting in
C o l o r a d o Springs warned against
some of t h e activities that
characterized the anti-war movement. "If those w h o advocate impeachment are also demonstrating
in the streets o r waving banners
and committing violations on the
law," said McCloskey, "then it is
going to delay public opinion that
will accept impeachment as the
proper course of conduct."
C'hargesheing voiced against the
President range from the strictly
constitutional through the political
to the criminal. The ACLU charges
President Nixon with usurping
congressional war-making powers,
invading First A m e n d m e n t rights,
and interfering with the a d ministration of justice.
The Amherst editorial cited the
"San Clemenle real estate deals,

appropriations,

wiretapping, covert C a m b o d i a n

Because ol recurrent education,
ihe ages ol students will correspond moiec lose ly with those of the
general population. It will he standard practice tor students and
teachers alike to examine the social
implications of projected research.
S t a n d a r d s for measuring faculty
performance will be applied to a
great variety of professional activities. F o r instance, community
activity could be part of the assessment process.
I he panel also predicts thai the
graduate professor will become

through expanded use ol new
educational technology. In addition, significant lines ol communication will connect graduate

ALBANY, N.Y. ( A P ) Nelson
Rockefeller's hair is almost white
,now, and his face and h a n d s are lined with the marks of time. But his
step is as quick as ever, his mind is
as active as ever, and the fires ol
ambition still burn bright. Al 6 5 .
retirement age for most men.
Rockefeller is getting ready forone
last effort to win what he calls the
toughest j o b of all -the presidency.
He has not yet announced his
candidacy.
But he has already launched a
nationwide
speaking
program,
which h a s taken him to San Francisco. Chicago. Washington. New
a Orleans.
Phoenix,
North
Dakota and points in between.
He has developed a campaign
theme - one stressing his \ ie\\ thai
"America is in danger ol being
o u T w h e l m e d h> die accelerating
pace of change" unless it begins to
plan far better for the future.
He has organized a "think tank"
operation to produce a campaign
pLitlorm - a n d by calling it a
national commission has attracted
enough
Democrats
and independents to give it a nonpartisan
look.
Uy early
January.
Rockcleller says, he will make a
key political decision - whether t o

Still, he a p p e a r s determined to

But p o l i t i c a l associates ol
Rockelcllci uisisi thai while he
openly seeking the support- of
Republican conservatives, his o w n
political stance has changed little,
it at all.'"Hc's a guy who goes in for
big ideas, who likes to try different
things," said o n e . "At o n e point it
was a bigeffortto rebuild thecities,
at a n o t h e r point it was a big push to
throw all the drug dealers in jail."
And Rockefeller speeches ol late
have reflected little that could be
characterized as conservative.
In September speech to the
American
Political
Science
Association convention in Xew
Orleans, for example, he declared
that "so many of o u r social institutions arc ont-ol-step. lagging

To the Editor:
I his letter seeks to clarify the present conllict between Eucrai La linn and EOPSA.
I he Blacks do not have one organization,
but rather, eight; last year they had even
more. Ihe Puerto Rican students last year
had one umbrella organization called
I'KOI.E. At the suggestion of several Black
student leaders. I'KOI.E could get more
representation in EOPSA hy dissolving itself
and converting ils committees into six
organizations, I'KOI.E did so, and submitted si\ constitutions to EOI'SA. last
year's EOPSA accepted the new Puerto
Kican organizations, bin delayed wiling on
their constitutions until this year.
I lie six Puerto Kican organizations were

A Matter of Timing
To the Editor
Diminishing Returns
'There is something deeply wrong in America." This was the verdict
reached by a majority of those polled in a survey commissioned by the
Senate and conducted by Louis Harris, the results of which were released Sunday. It would seem incredible for this to be the opinion of a majority in a nation as prosperous as is ours. Yet one must probe deeper
than mere material comforts to discover the source of such widespread
disenchantment with the quality of American life. This decline is
primarily due to a loss of faith in American institutions, and an almost
complete lack of confidence in the executive branch of the Federal
government. Only 19% of all those polled expressed faith in the executive, the lowest evaluation of any institution included in the survey.
This constitutes an astonishing revelation of Mr. Nixon's true standing
among his constituents and serves to dispel any ideas that there may be
a "silent majority" who still support him. The survey also showed that
of all public institutions, only television news and the press have risen
in esteem since 1966. Confidence in both is substantially higher than in
the executive. Obviously the nation is not being swayed by Mr. Nixon's
claims that it is the news madia, and not thegovernment's wrongdoing,
that have made Watergate into a major issue.
Meanwhile, questions of the President's integrity have not yet been
resolved. Mr. Nixon's lawyer and his personal secretary maintain
different theories as to how the famed "18 minute gap" in one of the
tapes had occurred. Mr. Nixon's spokesman claims that the gap was
caused by an accidental erasure of that portion of the tape by Mr. Nixon's secretary. But the President's secretary, Rosemary Woods,has
, said that she erased only a small part of the disputed segment. This is
but one more contradiction in the various stories offerred by the White
House, and Mr. Nixon is no closer now to allaying the public's doubts
about his integrity than he was when the existence (or non-ex istence) of
the tapes was first revealed.
That the people | of this country have expressed little faith in their
government is not surprising. The above incident; is but onei of the
latest questions raised as to the President's personal integrity,and were
both made public after the survey was conducted. A poll taken today
might find the nation's faith in the executive to beeven less. The survey
also indicated that the lack of confidence is not generated to ward the
institution itself, but in the particular men in power today; the executive branch ofgovernment is the only institution in the survey which
engenders less faith now than it did in May of 1972. Mr. Nixon's subversion of the Presidency has been totally responsible for the downfall
in the public eye of that once revered institution.
That people feel there is something "deeply wrong in America" is a
sad commentary perhaps not so much on the state of the nation as on
President Nixon. An informal survey of the House Judiciary Committee conducted by the New York Times has disclosed that a majority
of its members feel that impeachment would be justified if Mr. Nixon
were found to have lost the faith of the American people, even if he had
not committed an indictable crime. ITie peoplehavcannQunced their
verdict. The duty of the Congress is clear.

To Ihe Editor;
The Semester That Was...Was
¥:*:*:*:-:^^
The semester has ended. As semesters go.
it was pretty much like any other semester;
that is, it was definitely a semester. One
could certainly not dispute that it was one.
It was ;i pretty good semester, but then,
again, it did have its bad points. All
semesters have both good and bad points lo
them. As lar as semesters go, however, this
semester was just line. I hat is not lo say that
it was perlect. but it was just one of those
Albany Slate semesters.
Questions have arisen as to whether it was
a typical semester. It was. A semester, that is.
I he general consensus among some circles is
(hat il was not typical. But there are other
circles which have said that it was quite
typical indeed. Whether it was typical,
therelore. is uncertain, although some people seeni lo feet that it was, and others that il
was not.
Vice-I'residenl Philip Sirotkin was here.
And so was President Hene/et. Betty Macintosh was here, too. The students who
dropped out were not here.

The City ol Albany could be unwillingly
responsible for the wiisle of hundreds of
gallonsof ourgasoline every week. The traffic signals on Washington, Western, and
Madison Avenues, and probably a lew

this one cannot drive at a reasonable speed
within Ihe limits ol'30 m.p.h. without being
stopped bymosloflhelightsin hispatli. Iliis
results in unnecessary emissions from
decelerating engines, and wasle ol gasoline
while the engines are idling, no I to speak ol
unnecessary congestion caused by irregular
traffic flow. Even in the early hours ol the
morning, when the streets are practically
empty, the lights are set in lliis ridiculous

schools of tuna. Ihe traditional method ol
capturing tuna fish formerly employed Ihe
hook and line. However, ihe tuna licet has
switched to a more productive method called
purse seining A mile long net is towed by a
ship in an encircling maneuver until ihe loop
is closed. This also Iraps the dolphin and
thousands arc injured and killed "accidentally". Ihe tuna industry estimates about 200.000; the II,s. government estimates are
higher, and Smithsonian scientists estimate
that up to 900,000 dolphins are killed annually.

Communication Gap
I o the Editor:
Ihe ASP ol Nos. 27 contained a letter
written by M.A. Mcltzer which provided a
point by point deleiise ol my attack upon his
article "Higher Education." Mr. Mclt/er's
statement that "my complaint in Ihe article
was not so much about the school as it was
a bo in the students" causes me lo reiterate the
idea thai students are not lo blame for this
campus' communication problem.
I agree with Mr. Mcltzer in thai I do led
"thai there are teachers whose knowledge
and uncle-islanding I can effectively and enlosahls lap." Ihe problem is that most ol
these pro lessors a re no longer present al this
university. I he most effective and enjoyable
professors thai 1 have encountered here have
either been denied tenure, or are now in the
process ol being denied tenure. Students
possess an intelligcnl opinion concerning the
(enure issue. List spring, students made the
ellori to communicate ihisopinion to President Benezet at the door nl his office.
In answer to the second point ol Mr.
Mclt/er's letter. I believe that intellectual
growth is the creative use ol facts such as
names ol seventeenth century artist sand the
inetie in Chaucer. 1-aels alone are trivial.
I he creative useol facts in order lo obtain an
original idea is the way I define intellectual
glow lb I oh|cci to the professor who concent rates upon trivia lily hy pros id mga list o I
sesen leenlli century arlisls and then
proceeds lo ask the sliidenl to recall live
seventeenth century artists on an examination. In my experience. I base loiind this
species ol piolcssor running lainpani upon
Ilns campus, sslnlc- the prnlessoi who does
not preach ihe middle class elluc and appreciates crealise itiougtll is heconnnga rare

without having its ad-hoc committee present
ils recommendations. They unfroze EOPSA's budget because ihey believed Fred
Stoklin's lies about thetroublc corning from
only four Puerto Rican students. They did
not bother lo ask about the forums and
assemblies or to lind gut whether there were
only four students attending each. Also, in
regard lo the Isso articles appearing in the
\SP. it is interesting lo note that Ered

Promises, Promises
To the Editor:
Since 1948 Israel has grown as a nation to
such importance that even the high powers
of Ihe world are in turmoil over this small
portion of land. Some of thequestionsbeing
asked on thisissue are:" Whose land is this?",
and. 'How come Israelis there with all odds
against her?' 1 feel the answer to these
questions comes out of Jewish history and
the writings of Moses and the prophets.
In the first book of Moses, God spoke to
Abraham and gave him apromise: 'To your
descendants I give this land from the riverof
Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates." And to another of the great
patriarchs. He gave the same promise: "Go
up into this mountain of Abarim and see
the land which I have given to the people of
Israel." Jewish history tells us thai theirGod
promised this land to them and told Ihcm to
possess it and to destroy all wickedness in it.
As we read in the book of Joshua they did
just that, hut soon after, as the peoplelooked
around them at the uncircumsiscd world
wilh all its pleasures and riches, they turned
their backs on God and disobeyed His commandments. Because of this the Eord took
away their kind; first Israel taken by the
Assyrians and then .ludah taken by the
Babylonians. After 70 years of captivity.
Cvrus. king ol Persia released the Jcwsand
ailowed them lo return to their land as
prophesied by Jeremiah. However, only a
remnant returned because ihe others had
grown too accustomed to the pleasures ol
Babylon. But slowly the nation began to rise
in power and authority even under the attacks ol the Syrians and the surrounding
nations.
As thehistory ol this new nation progressed, the people again turned their backs on
their God and looked more towards political
power and authority until in 70 A.P.J the
lemple in Jerusalem was destroyed and the
.lesvs were dispersed throughout all the
svorld where they have been until 1948. As
the prophet E/ekiel stated in the year 580
B.C.E.. "I (Adonai) scattered them among
the nations; and they weredispersed through
the countries; in accordance with their conduct and their deeds 1 judged them."
I he God of Abraham has not abandoned
His people though. Because of His steadfast
lose He has remembered His promise. Even
Ihough Israel has forgotten Him ihrough
thc ages. God still has brought them back lo
iheir land and stretched their boundaries
toward ihe river ol Egypt and thegreal nver.
the river Euphrates.
"I Ins say st he Eord God; On thai day thai
I cleanse you from all your iniquities. I will
cause ihe ei lies tube inhabited and I he waste
places shall be rebuilt, And die land that was
desolate shall be tilled, instead of being the
desolation that it was in die sighi ol all who
passed by. And they will say. 'Ilns land

The Truth Behind The Bars
by Richard L.Olson KWftW:
In response to the fabricated statements
made by Miss Francisca Senhouse in the article "Reading Between the Bars" which
appeared in the November 27 issue of the
Albany Student Press, 1 presentmy credent ials as a vo lunteer teacher at CoxsackieCorrectional Facility (through the Community
Service Program) and I have been much
more thoroughly exposed to the way of life
behind its bars than Miss Senhouse. She has
based her article upon the short three or four
hour visit by the Burundi DanceTroupe, and
she seems to have acquired a vast, although
grossly misinformed and false knowledge of
this particular prison system. Although I
claim to be no authority on the prison
system, I can qualitatively refute hercharges
through my own experiences at this institution.
To begin with, Miss Senhouse claims that
the inmates are not being rehabilitated: they
are in "limbo". If she had a chance to see the
prison during a regular day, she would have
observed that this facility is more like a
school than a prison. Approximately fifteen
different trades arc taught, ranging from
Auto Repair to Welding to Printing. A
learning laboratory, set up by a ten thousand dollar grant from the state, enables
those inmates who are practically il literate to
make rapid progress to obtain a practical
knowledge of the English language to help
them with their trade. Coxsackie also offers
practically the same high school courses as
any other school, and high school equivalency diplomas are eagerly sought. In fact, this
program enables a prisoner to obia in a high
schodVequivalency diploma in fourmonths,
^ I n d last year 212 of the approximately 400
".Inmates had earned one. Other special
courses such as Computer Programming,
Real Estate and Psychology are brought in
to be specially taught to those qualified.
Through the cooperation of SUC New Paltz,
two college courses. Sociology and Political
Science, are presently being taught with/ii//
college credit given to those who successfully
complete the requirements. In addition,each
year, twenty to twenty-five inmates upon
release, go on to various colleges to further
their education. This prison, like any other
learning institution cannotforce motivation
upon the inmates, itcanonlyprovidetheopportunity, as Coxsackie obviously docs It is
up to each inmate to motivate himself or as
the saying goes- "Don't serve time, let time
serve you."
To continue. Miss Senhouse claims that
she saw no signs of physical activity.Coxsackie Correctional Facility has a wellequipped gymnasium and two physical
education teachers to coach the inmates.
They are give n opportunities each day to go
to the gym, besides the informal activity in
the largecourtyard while they await roll call.
Furthermore, the facility fields teams in
many sports, particularly basketball, and
various college tea ms have scheduled games
at the prison gym.
Miss Senhouse further claims that the inmates' psychological needs arc not being
met. A full-time psychologist and two parttime psychiatrists provide this care, and help
is available whenever it is needed.'Therearc
also ten counselors who work with assigned
inmates and listen to any problems they may
have, and try to provide the necessary
guidance and solutions.
Furthermore, Miss Senhouse also seems
to make it appear that fheinmatesareallowed no privileges, which isfarfrom the truth.
Each inmate has his own room, not a barred
cell, which he is allowed to decorate in any
way he pleases Each room also has an
earphone hook-up to various radio stations,
and if the inmate desires, he can subscribe to
his hometown newspaper if his relativesare
willing to pay for it. Besides, the library is full
of recent periodicals and even law books,
which many inmates use to examine the principles upon which their case was tried.
Perhaps the most flagrant misstatements
are presented in the latter half of her article.
It is true, as she claims, that each inmate
must submit a list of persons who will visit
and correspond with him. However, there is
no limil whatsoever to this list. If an inmate
so desires, he ran place one hundred or more
people on Ilia' list. She also claims that the
inmates'mail is censored, which is not true-it
ta scanned and that is abigdiflercnce. The inmate can write whatever he pleases-how

be established for reasons of security for the

the
message.
Genesis'
Selling
England by the Pound is less sell
indulgent and more the work of a
g r o u p . As a result, there is morevariety within the a l b u m . T h e mam
instrument emphasis is, of course,
on Tony Bank's keyboards, synthesizer, and
mellolron, hut
Stephen l l a c k c l i on guitar and
lead v oca list Peter Gabriel, who
also plays flute and o b o e , provide
the music with an occasional opportunity to break away from the
keyboard d o m i n a t i o n . Also, llieinclusion of lyrics gives the a l b u m
a n o t h e r level and diversity that Sis
Hives
d o e s not have. When
Genesis is not vocalizing, the musictakes on a flowing, stream ol consciousness quality, asimilar to the
musical h e i a k s in "The Court ol
the Crimson King" and "Nights in
White Satin." Often, the mellolron
establishes the dreamlike base for
the lead instrument to ride on. In
o r d e r to get that consciousness
flowing. Genesis leatures lour
songs which are eight minutes o r
more.
Anyone
who
enjoys
XARl
"l'mind"music will appreciate the
extended cuts "Dancing With the
Moonlit Knight," "Firth of Fifth,"
"The Battle of Epping Forest," and
"The Cinema Show / Aisle of Plenty." The only problem here is that
the album is close to fifty minutes
long. Whenlisten'ingto the album in

music may cause ear strain., c a u s ing the songs to s o u n d uncomfortably indistinguishable from one

This past Thursday evening a
c a r a v a n of s o m e fine country
musicians rolled on d o w n the

IUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1973
Better days are here for
Albany State Swimming. As
wave after wave of swimmers
churned the waters of the pool
on Saturday, the Mermen
achieved a respectable fourth
place in the Great Dane Relays.
The meet consisted of a series
of eight relays and one diving
event. Two hundred and fifty
competitors represented twelve
schools that were divided into
University and Junior College
divisions. T h e m e e t was
tedious, lasting four hours. It
seemed difficult
for the
swimmers to remain psyched
over such a long period.
Nevertheless, four of the
records previously established
in the Dane Relays were
broken. Keene set new records
in the backstroke and the d(XI
\a rd freestyle time, and Coast
Guard's diver improved upon
previous poinl totals.
The cstablishmenl ol new
records indicated a general improvement in t i t quality ol the
learns, giving greater ereeilence
to Alhany's fourth place In
previous years the swimmers
have been unable to break into
the top hall
ol the field,
finishing fourth put Albany
ahead o I four teams that will be
met in the dual-meet season,
lixcept for Bridgewater Slate,
the teams that scored higher
will all be competing in leagues
where the swimming strength
and experience is greater than
Albany's S U N Y A C division
Despite an unlorlunate disqualification
in
the
breast stroke,an Albany strong
point, the team managed lo
shine in four events. The
butterfly trio of Masom. Van
Rye. and Rubin stroked the it
wa y t o a I ourth place. Va n l< yn.
Dudley, Weberand Masom indicated a si renght in middle distance freestyle by taking fourth
in theijQO-yard freestyle. Ihrec
of the t e a m ' s
strongest
swimmers gained a second
place in the WKI-yard individual
medley. Masom. Uidley, and
Van Ryu gave tenacious effort
in whal was the most successful
and exciting race for Albany,
linmench. Seidenberg, Rubin,
and Weber managed to gain a
third place in the 400-yard
medley relay, the last event of
the long meet.
As an indicator of future
achievement, Albany's relative
success in Ihe Great Dane
Relays leaves one wilh an impression ol ambiguity. The
team was not overpowering,
nor were they drowned in the
wake ol their opponents.
Great Dane swimming relays held last Saturday. The Danes finishicdfourth.

believes that there is little likelihood
for the President to extend the approaching Christmas vacation.
1 he President, she reported, said
that before any final decision was

with faculty a n d students to assess
their views on an extension.
Sirotk in's office gave no date when
this decision will be made
Factors influencing the final
decision, Davidson said, would include the status of the other SUN Y
schools and the seriousness of
Albany's own fuel shortage.
