Freedom Forum Includes
Henry Jackson, Rollo May
Four areas of current controversy in American
society—national politics, acupuncture, psychotherapy
and the pollution ofourenvironment— will be discussed
this year by Schenectady's Freedom Forum, according
to Chairman, Roger Kambour.
A non-partisan,.non-prof it organization dedicated to
informed, public discussion of current national issues,
Freedom Forum "is an attempt to bring to the community authoritative speakers in areas where there is controversy and difference of opinion." Kambour said.
During the 1974-75 season, members of Freedom Forum
will hear talks by:
Henry M. Jackson, U. S. Senator from Washington
and recognized authority and leader in the fields of fuel
and energy, foreign affairs and national defense on
"Crucial Issues Facing the Nation," October 7.
Dr. Samuel Rosen, Clinical Professor of Otology at
Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, international authority
on the treatment of deafness, member of thefirstteam of
American doctors to visit China in a quarter of a century
where he studied acupuncture methods reporting on
"Acupuncture," December 2.
. Dr. Rollo May. practicing psychotherapist, author of
the best-sellers "Love and Will" and "Power and Innocence" and a leader in the humanistic psychology
movement on "The Courage to Create," February 3,
1975.

Dr. Robert Reinow, Professor of Political Science at
SUNYA, nationally known figure in the field of conservation, author of best-seller "Moment in the Sun," in the
final program devoted to "The Bleeding of Earth and the
American Future," April 14, 1975.
WASHINGTON(AP)- Nelson A. Rockefeller told Congress Monday that
the concept his family can control the nation's economy through a vast, interlocking financial empire is a myth.
He assured members of the Senate Rules and Administration Committee
that his own substantial and diversified fortune will pose no conflict of interest should he be confirmed to be vice president. "If I had spent a lifetime of
abusing economic power, I assume I wouldn't be sitting here today,"
Rockefeller said.
Hesaid also he cannot rule out the possibility he may seek the presidency in
1976 should President Ford choose not to run.
Testifying at the opening of his confirmation hearings, Rockefeller disclosed that over the past 10 years he has had earnings totalling $46.8 million on
which he paid federal, state and local taxes totalling $21.7 million.
A unique feature of Freedom Forum, whose purpose
is to strengthen democracy by developingan enlightened
public opinion, is the active participation of the audience
in the question and answer period with the guest speaker
following each presentation.
According to Kambour, "This year's series of outstanding speakers is due to the commendable efforts of
Freedom Forum's Program Committee, headed by
David Lillie."
Entering its 31 st year. Freedom Forum is now conducting its annual membership drive. Memberships, which
entitle holders to attend all programs in the series, are
available at $8 per adult, $14 per couple, $16 per family,
and $2 per student, from Membership Chairman, Ms.
Joan Breuer, 2201 Rosendale Rd., Schenectady, 12309,

Tickets to individual programs arc not available.

By February I, 1975, the Search
Committee for a new Dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences will be
presenting its final recommendation
to SUNYA President Louis T.
Benezet.
Appointed by Vice-President
Phillip Sirotkin, the committee has
been requested to recommend a panel of at least three candidates.
Whether or not those recommended
will want the position of Dean is
another question. One of last
spring's nominees backed out of the
finals.
The other candidate, Morton
Kaplan of the City University of
New York, was not accepted by
Benezet. Robert McFarland.nowon

Graduate Studies to the College of

last year's and this year's committees, defends lastspring'sefforts.

this year's committee should not
come up with at least three candidates ably qualified for the job," he
adds. Even so, the committee did not
find a successor to I. Moyer
Hunsberger, the previous dean of
Arts and Sciences.
Joseph Zimmerman of the
Political Science Department thinks
the job of searching out an ideal dean
is much more frustrating today than
it was. "Compared to 20 or 25 years
ago," he points out, "there are many
more administrative and budgetary
responsibilities inherent in the office.
"Traditionally at major universities, the deanships are not only
skilled administrators, but recognized scholars in their major fields.
Because we here at S U NY A consider
ourselves such a major university, wc

Albany DA Ralph Smith Campaigns at SUNYA
Radar Dropped Here m&m

by Richard Nordwind
Politics is a strange world for the
uninitiated, and for Ralph Smith,
Republican District Attorney of
Albany. His first campaign has had
some bizarre moments.
"A woman came up to me in a
shopping center and took a campaign brochure which shows a picture of me jogging. She looked at the
picture and asked if I still jogged. I
told her yes, and she said, well you
have my vote then."
"This is the intelligent way many

by Ira Zimmerman
Three radar units have accidently become part of Dr. Kenneth Abie's study
of bird migration. The project, now in its early stages, is being financed by a
$35,000 National Science Foundation grant.
"The additional radars were never requested," said Dr. Able, a professor in
the Biology Department who directs the Cranberry Lake Program. Only two
had been sought and granted by the Office of Naval Research, but during the
summer three more units "spontaneously" appeared at the east end of the
Academic Podium. The two that Dr. Able officially requested had been
delivered in March, 1974.
Dr. Able couldn't explain the arrival of the new units other than
speculating that there had becrw computer error. Now that the radar is here,
the Office of Naval Research doesn't want it back. The Korean units were
valued at $ 150,000 each when first manufactured. They will now be used for
spare parts and are available for others to use in research endeavors, said
Able.
The added units have already proved useful. This summer a scaffold used
by painters fell off the cast end of the Podium destroying the antenna of one
radar unit. A replacement was taken from one of the "accidental" units.
Abie's research is aimed at examining factors which determine direction
birds take while migrating. Such factors include wind and cloud cover. His
research in this field has spanned the last six years. Work in this area is particularly useful to the aviation industry as birds flying at high altitucs have
been known to be sucked into jet engines. Conservationists are concerned
with the threat to wildlife aside from the financial burden for industry.
Dr. Able had hoped to commence the actual field work by May, 1974.
Problems in making the unused radar functional delayed the project until the
beginning of September.
The radar observations arc being made from the Helderberg"Mountains"
near Berne. New York. This site, twenty miles southwest of Albany isdistant
enough to prevent interference by tail structures such as the dormitory
towers.
Also, lower winter rales offer
skiers inexpensive trips to Austrian
and Swiss slopes. One student ski
trip is only $550 including the round
trip flight ticket and accommodations during two weeks on the
Austrian slopes. General American
tourism to Europe was off somewhat
this past summer. As a result, many
Austrian ski resorts are dropping
their rates for the winter ski crowd.

"In the area of constructive leadership, I wouldn't give him very high marks.'
•Speaker of the House Ctrl Alb*»(D.-OMa.) on President Ford
Pff and Not Running
For the third and probably the last time inThis controversial political career,
Massachusetts Senator Edward M. Kennedy announced yesterday his decision not to
seek his party's nomination for the presidency in 1976. He termed his decision "firm,
final and Unconditional," citing commitment to his family as his main reason.
Precluding any thoughts in that direction, Kennedy said further that he would actively
oppose any attempts at a draft at the convention.
Kennedy's withdrawal accentuates his central status in the Democratic Party, as the
three remaining top candidate possibilities, Jackson of Washington, Bentsen of Texas
and Mondale of Minnesota, all admitted that a contest without Kennedy would at least
be a contest. Kennedy, himself, in his announcement in Boston said that his
withdrawal "will permit others who have been interested in gaining the nomination the
chance for exposure..." realizing his stature as the Democratic front-runner.
The nation will no doubt greet the Kennedy announcement with curiousambivalence:
grateful that the sordid mess of Chappaquidick will not be dragged through the media
as the election approaches, grateful that the nomination will not be clouded by the inevitable Kennedy mystique, yet disheartened that the young senator will not be given
the chance to complete the two aborted attempts of his older brothers, and unhappy
that it will not be a Kennedy that finally,ever,bindsthedeepwoundsof this country.
Kennedy is right in his appraisal that his withdrawal will throw open the field to
anyone in the Democratic Party. In the free-for-all that will probably result in the
wake of his announcement, the issues and the candidates will bare themselves to the
scrutiny of a suspicious and exasperated public. Fresh ideas will hopefully emerge
from this campaignfresh laces and new goals for America as it starts its third century.
There is no single, strong personality on the horizon with a solid chance to defeat a
Rockefeller or a Ford, but there are still over two years remaining. Given the uncanny
ability of the Ford Administration to focus public opinion against itself, it would not
he at all surprising (or disappointing for that matter) if Ford deprives himself and the
Republicans of the White House in 1976.
We needn't be reminded of the astonishing convention victory of George McGovern
just t\yo short years ago, as proof that a candidate can emerge from the grass roots and
capture the nomination. His successor hopefully will not repeat his mistakes, and will
carry a victory home to the White House.'
Tightening the Belts
Whether a political bluff directed at the American people tocalm their raw nervesor
a sharp-edged warning. President Ford has told the Arab oil producing nations that a
continuance of their exorbitant prices will destroy the world's economy and send us all
into a critical depression. Even Henry Kissinger, the bastion of Arab appeasement
issued a stern warning t o O P E C - the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
Speaking indirectly, but aiming obviously at the Arab nations, Kissinger said that, "It
can be in the interest of no country or group of countries to base policies on a test of
strength, for a policy of confrontation would end in disaster for all."
The President had even more stern words for the oil producers, thinly disguising a
threat t o counter the use of oil as a political weapon with the use of food and
technology as an equally effective weapon. Launching his "Project Interdependence,
l o r d promised that he will take tough measures to ensure an adequate supply of oil for
America's needs, emphasizing that international co-operation is crucial if the world is
to avoid plunging into a ^ e r e c c o n o m i c depression. "The danger is clear. It is very
severe."
The President may have finally passed the point of useless rhetoric. It is painfully
obvious by now that the words of well meaning diplomats will not reverse the
dangerous patterns that were set last year. One year ago on this date, talk of an "energy
crisis" was the substcnaccofdoomsdaysayers, and the world confidently proceeded on
it's course bent toward ultimate confrontation. It took a war with a small country that
most nations would prefer not exist to awaken the world to the potential of an oil
squeeze. Not long after that war started, industries across Europe shut down, unemployment soared, and economies and governments crumbled under the pressure.
I he N A T O alliance was severely tested and almost didn't stand the strain. At home,
the inconvenience of short gas supplies, suspicion at the burgeoning oil company
profits, a n d the soaring inflation that has resulted from oil prices have brought this
country closer to economic brinksmanship than at any point since World War II.
Any tough measures Kord has in mind could not come too soon. It would be far
better for Americans t o tighten their collective belts now, than to lace widespread
deprivation in the future.

Language reflects the values ola society. In
a sense, we arc all imprisoned by language
stereotypes. The manner in which we speak
reflects our power/powcrlcssncss and our
passivity/aggressiveness. It is evident that in
the area of la nguagcas well as other numerous
aspects within our culture, women arc placed
in a subservient, passive, powerless, and often
derogatory role.
I he Qucendom of God!
Consider the following: sportsmanship,
kingdom, mankind, freshman, brotherhood.
In each of the above, the noun is described in
terms of masculinity. When referring lo
mankind or brotherhood we are supposedly
using them in a generic sense, yel Ihey bolh
clearly suggest the male as (he dominant sex.
O n e d o e s n o t find
queendom,
sportswomanship, or Ireshwomcn present in
our vocabulary. The same is also (rue of hundreds ol words in which the female counterpurl is derived from the male noun. 'HeirH e i r e s s ' . ' h e r o - h e r nine','duke-duchess',
'sculptor-sculptress' und 'poet-poetess' are
only a lew of the numerous examples. Very
often though, the suffix 'ess' or 'ette' conjure
up images of frivolous, unimportant roles.
I he one exception to the male dominance in
our language is in the area of marriage and
divorce, Bridegroom, bridal shower,
bridesmaid, and bridal bouquet are only a few
oT the words derived from its female root bride. Unfortunately, though, women play an
active part in only this arena
in which Ihcir
sole lunct|un is thai of wife, mother and
housekeeper. In addition, a woman is referred
to as a .'divorcee' while a man is 'divorced'.
Similarly one commonly hears of 'John's
widow ' Mary'
hul rarely, if over of
'Mary's widower John', . liven after death,
women are still associated with the men in
ihcir lives. Obviously our language issiiuclui'ed such that women cannot be conceived ol
as having a separate existence from men.
Madami's Unite!
Il is also interesting to note lira icei lain pairs of words have sexual and often denuailor)
connotations lor women, hul mil loi men.
'Call-boy' is a common, respectable terra,

while a 'witch' would be a woman Willi equal

posilive. sexual sense (i.e. •swinging bachelor

We should all become mote aware ol die
blatant sexism in our language. In ynui own
daily conversations with friends, in classes, oi
in textbooks, note how many words poitruy

lemules as weaker, and submissive. Also,
observe thai the majority ol our vucahulnty n>

Ah yes! Money. Page 8P of todays Perspectives lists the appropriations of all the S A groups, and since we all put sixty-four dollars
in the hands of SA's Central Council each year, it might be worth a
glance. Money, for better or worse, is the main concern of SA and the
issue that sparks the greatest controversies between students.
Perspectives is moving right along, as is the rest of the world. If there's
something a student or professor wants to investigate or has already investigated and deserves magazine exposure like that here, we'd surely
like to talk to you.
As for the rest of the world: The ASP received a letter yesterday from
"Kenyatta Bey # 131-795" who wrote:

Another reason to play I risbee is thai il is a great way of meeting people. All you have

Nature Gets Her Day In Court
h) Dennis (.. Hanson
A new theory which could

may give trees, lakes, animals, and other
non-human natural resources the "right"
to sue.
Using (he "equal protection under the
law" doctrine, a law professor al the University ol Southern California.
Christopher I). Stone, proposes to give
the natural world legal "rights." If, at first
glance, this appears fur-fetched, remember
that the law now permits corporations,
trusts, estates, and sundry other inanimate entities to have lawsuits initiated
in their behalf.
Stone argues thai at present a polluter
or other deliler of the environment can
only be challenged in court by the individual or individuals who are directly
injured by the alleged offense, What
happens, the professor asks, il Ihe victims
tail to bring sail because they also happen
lo he polluters, don't care about environmental despoliation, or are

As I..A. Times columnist Kd l-'lntliiu
notes, under Stone's thesis, an environ menial group could enter the picture
in the instances above and act on behalf of
the aggrieved parly, be it a forest, lake, or
river. II the natural resource won the
court test, monetary damages could go
directly into a lund lo eradicate the environmental abuse. Currently, the fines
which convicted polluters pay are disinbiiieil to individual complainants or, if
a governmental body is the plaintiff, are

ItuAed The Hemlines BJ,?
Bikes I n Culture
by Hal Kenneth Frost
I his is the golden age of travel. People drive f r o m here to there. When longer distances are involved, they fly to their destination. People are used to these comforts of
life, lor, while they are not hew, they are not yet old enough to have outgrown their
novelty.
Why then, one asks, do such great institutions as driving and Hying have such stiff
competition from the mode of travel known as cycling? Surely taking a car or a plane is
much more comfortable, much faster, and much more convenient. Yet the bicycle to.
day is more popular than it has ever been.
The bicycle that is familiar to us all was invented late in the nineteenth century
Called the 'safety bicycle', it was a tremendous improvement over the original bicycle
which had a wheel live feet in diameter in front, and a smaller one in the back. The
rider's head was some eight feet off the ground, and he pedaled it directly.
With the safety bicycle came the advent of the drive chain system, where pedaling
made the chain turn the wheel, a much more efficient set-up.
Hut the change in bicycle styles caused an enormous change in clothing, especially
women's fashions. No longer could a woman wear ground length skirls. Ihe bottom
would catch in Ihe chain, and she wouldtopple off the bicycle. So the hemline came up,
and female ankles were bared for the first time. Bigger and better bicycles were eventually made, so the hemlines had to come up even further.
Then suddenly there was a bloomer boom. Instead of skirts, women wore bloomers.
Society balked at such outlandish display of female anatomy, but nothing could be
done.
Alter the turn of the century, an organization known as the League ol American
Wheelmen came into being. The streets were packed with cyclists, and those who were
on horseback or in the newly invented automobile disliked Ihe situation. I heir intention was to knock the cyclists off their bicycles. Often they succeeded, and huge streetlights broke out.
Ihe I..A.W. lobbied in Congress, and forced legislation for the building i>|
hikeways. When completed, a ten mile an hour speed limit was imposed. I Ins lau «as

How can you, as an avid bike tourer, make your cycling more enjoyable and freer

$250 Peugeot if you're turned on by the idea of spending a lot of money. The fact is.
though, that almost any decent ten-speed cycle will adequately stand up to any normal
louring conditions you may encounter, if attention is paid to two important details:
your condition, and the overall condition of the cycle.
A Few Bint* For Your Next
Two-wheeled Excursion
Let's first consider the cycle. What should be done before the start of a tour to get the
maximum in performance?
First of all. make sure the tires are inflated to their recommended air pressure. Underinllated tires roll with more surface area contacting the road, resulting in extra
friction hence more effort must be expended to move the cycle. If you have twentyseven inch clincher tires on your machine, it's wise to inflate them to about 75 pounds:
80 if you're carrying a load. Be careful not to ovcrinllate this type of tire; too much
pressure can blow it off the rim.
Bicycle Touring
Make sure your saddle and handlebars are adjusted to their proper heights. These
adjustments are crucial for balance and pedalling efficiency, since a properly adjusted
saddle will permit maximum leg extension in your pedalling stroke. There are many
complicated formulas you can use to adjust the saddle, but Ihe easiest and perhaps best
method is to set it at the height which allows your leg to be almost fully extended (with
the ball ol your foot resting on the lower pedal). The handlebars should then he set so
that the lop of the stem is level with the saddle. This will position you in the mosl efficient riding position.
Next, strip every unnecessary piece of equipment off the cycle. This includes front
and rear chain guards, peddle reflectors. American flags.bellsanshort, anything that
doesn't serve a useful propose. The idea here is simple but important: Weight reduction'. Whether the saving is a trivial two ounces or a whopping two pounds, it's thill
much less weight you'll have to carry around. As any experienced cyclist can tell you.
two extra pounds carried over a 100-mile route can become mighty burdensome.
l-innlly. you should invest in a good bicycle repair manual, and consult it to make
those small overhauls and adjustments which, overall, make the difference between a
smoothly running machine and one that's unfit lor the road. If you have any qualms
about making your own repairs, be heartened with the knowledge that bicycle
mechanics charge up to $u.()t)an hour. With practice, you can become your cycle's best
friend.

Once you have your cycle in shape, what can you do to get yourself ready for nil upcoming tour?
The most important deiail to consider is clothing. You should dresseomloriably and
seasonally, with special care to avoid chilling. Also, il it's cold, use as many layers of
clothing as possible (i. e. instead of one heavy sweater wear two or three light ones). Ily
removing these layers one at a lime as your body heal increases Irom exertion, you can;
cllcclivcly regulate your temperature and prevent the formation of perspiration.
Next in importance is ihe food you take along. It should be high in protein and
natural carbohydrates: dried fruit and granola are excellent choices. These nutrients
give longer lasting and more substantial energy than processed sugar and candy, which

Bicycling is once again on Ihe rise. Hut along with the recent resurgence of bicycling's
popularity, there has been a corresponding increase in ihe number of bicycle thefts.
In New York City alone 9,654 bicycles were stolen last year and this figure is
accelerating steadily. With such statistics, it is a rare bicyclist who never needs some
sort of security device, such as chains, cables and locks to protect his/her bike from
becoming a theft casualty. Yet when confronted with the vast array of locks, cablesand
chains on the market and the relative merits of each as an anti-theft device, Ihe average
cyclist is apt to become confused. In addition, speaking to proprietors of bicycle shops,
reading chain manufacturers' claims and talking with oilier bicyclists does not always
help, for both helpful and misleading information has made the rounds.
Willi the hope of dispelling this confusion and providing some reliable information,

I he major considerations when buying a security device for a bicycle are Ihe degree
ol security desired. Ihe way in which the bicycle is to be locked and the convenience of
the security device. Cables, especially the sell-coiling variety, are light, compact and
very convenient, but provide little security, while the most secure chains tend to be
heavy and cumbersome. Usually, one must find a happy medium between convenience
and effectiveness, The ideal situation when locking a bike is to have the chain pass
through both wheels and the frame and around an immovable object, such asa lamppost or a bicycle rack. This arrangement would call for a chain about six feet long, but
can be effectively duplicated by using a shorter chain through the front wheel and
frame and around the immovable object, plus a separate long-shackled lock through
the rear wheel and frame.

"What The Dickens?" She Asked.
Working
En London
by Robin Salomon
There are two things of which every Albany student should
become aware: One is that Albany, representative as it may or
may not be of a "typical" city, is not the world; two, that all the
world is not encased in womblike communities ol' academia.
The first seems not too difficult, as more and more affluent
American students arc spending their summers traveling and
discovering the world. The second is a bit harder,because nine
months of each year arc spent with thousands of people just like
you, swarming to and from programmed fifty minute slots of
education. Perhaps the realization of the first made me decide to
spend my junior year abroad, and the consideration ol the other
made me choose a program which released me from the restrictions of a regular university environment. I chose Empire State
College in London, which is based on the concept that practical
experience is valid as a form of education.
c
o
Arriving in London without the security of housing already
provided.could now almost jokingly be referred to as the initiation rite to Empire State College's form of learning experiences.
Hat-hunting in an unknown city lets you learn about that city in
ti way untouched upon by tourist packages. Within days you
become aware oi the personalities of different regions in the city,
that you wouldn't want to live in Soho, that Earl's Court is the
Greenwich Village of London, and that Hampstead might be
priced too exclusively for your budget. You learn very quickly
that 10 pounds a week rent is not IU dollars, and that central
heating is a luxury of "spoiled Americans."
The most exciting thing however, was meeting people. 1
found that stereotyped 'stuffy' British people were really quite
friendly and helpful. I lived in a large house with seven other
people including a German Osteopathist and a Welsh Playboy
Bunny, and exchanged stories of country customs and ideas,
and shared similarities as well as differences. My days were
spent at galleries and lectures, theatres and museums, meeting
people, discovering traditions, tea and the Pub.
"But what of school," my traditional habits asked. I was to
learn that school meant drawing up a contract that set objectives
and allowed any approved means of pursuing those objectives.
For me, with an interest in 19th century British novel and a little
luck and some persuasion, that meant getting a job as a tour
guide at the Charles Dickens Museum and using that as a mode
of accomplishing one objective. I remember the first day and
how nervous I was to conclude my tour and ask for any
questions, and felt my knees shaking as one man said yes.
"You're certainly not British are you'.'" he asked, and I laughed
when I realized how obviously American I was. 1 worked in the
Dickens Library, helping researchers, doing indexing, and
found myself getting lost in the shelves-of old clippings and
Dickens memorobilia. This also led me to membership in the
Dickens Fellowship, where I met many interesting people all
with a common interest in Dickens.
Another objective was to learn about the British social welfare
system. 1 became a social worker and I was given families to visit
and to work with. This exposed me not only to social work, but
to forms ol government agencies and policies as well as to people
of all classes in London.
I was not unique. Other people in the program found their
own learning experiences. One got a job at the late Gallery,
others with law centers and social service agencies - the
possibilities were only as limited as the ability to think of a way
to achieve the goals set up in your contract.
1 was curious about British universities, and so enrolled in a
Shakespeare class. 1 was amazed at how much the students
looked and acted like American students.
During this year as a student, yet not beinga student, I felt exposed to some of the most intense forms of education.
Needless to say the structured lime didn't interfere with the
educational time. I learned Australian slang and how to cook
curries. I went home with a friend to Ireland for a week and lived
in a three hundred year old farmhouse, which to her was just
home, and to me was older than New York.
But perhaps most significant was the realization that education need not take place in a classroom and that by traditionally
separating education from life, by putting it into blocks of fifty
minutes on special days, one tends to lose sight of much of the
education that life itself has to offer.

tax lor this semester; or has sacrificed the services of Student Association and obtained
a waiver (a rare occurence). SA receives this money through its legislative branch. Central Council, and distributes it to various organizations under its wing. They work with
an amount that is well over a half million dollarsjand with SU N Y A's growing student
body will continue t o increase.
Money left over from last year and extra money received this year (they underestimate) goes into Central Council's "Emergency Spending Line," which also contains additional money put in it last year when Council did this year's budgets. From
that line Council grants groups additional money, funds new groups and uses it for
various special projects and such. That line is not included in the listing below because
it is not clear how much money is in it. It was budgeted over ten thousand last year, but
money has already come out ( P I R O at SUNYA's allocation was from that line). Then
again, they expect a lot of extra income from the increased enrollment.
Listed below are allocations, which is the amount of money coming from student
ta x. Many groups raise their own money and thus have much larger budgets than their
allocation would indicate. Groups that charge admission or have advertising fall under
this category.
The A AC Intercollegiate Athletic Program is the largest single recipient of student
tax money. Intercollegiate sports here are mostly paid for out of the student tax money.

driving from the "I -way to the Campus for the
first time, and now picture this: You found no
sign on the T-way marking "Exit 24"; you saw
the overhead marking "State Univ. - Exit 2".
but never found that marking for "Exit 2"; or,
you finally found your quad, but only half the
dorms were identified by outside signs - the
rest were missing. You well know your way
around by now, but try to picture giving directions to a stranger to SUN Y A on how to get to
your specific dorm room from Manhattan under these conditions!

At least they could let me get coffee for them.
The staff has nicknamed me, "the freak",
because of my hair (below my ears), the beads
I wear around my neck, and a bandana in my

"No, but I watch Kung-Fu," I replied.

Which has led me to believe that the real

younger reporters, the ones who know the
difference between John Denver and Jerry
Garcia, have a no nonsense attitude towards
their work. It drives mc up a wall.
It's hard to get used to the idea that all this
means something. Whenever I sit at the
typewriter, pretending I'm a writer, I dangle a
cigarette from my lower lip, just like the
reporters do in the movies. Sure I get smoke
up my nose and in my eyes, but I keep up the
image of being a reporter, which is a lot more
important than actually being one.
Actual reporters make phone calls, do
research, write, balance the good with the bad,
and generally get along as best they can. Me, I

The Wonder of it All

In the past year and a half, Stevic
Wonder has become a full blown
superstar. The year before he was the
opening act on the Rolling Stones
nation-wide tour. Today, his new
album. "Fullillingncss' First Finale,"
is the nation's best seller. He's won
live grammy awards in the past year.
A song he composed. "Tell Me
Something Good." is currently a
lop-10 record for the group Rufus.
And Wonder's last two albums sold

A Novel in Four Movements
Chopin's Paris atPAC
by Spcnce Raifio
Napoleon Symphony
by Anthony Burgew
In A Clockwork Orange Anthony
Burgess created a masterpiece he is
not likely to surpass. Yet the fiction
he has written since has placed him
as one ol' our best contemporary
novelists. Most recently; he has
produced Napoleon Symphony, an
ambitious attempt to combine music
with the written word, a symphonic
novel. In ihe words of the author it is
"Really a piece or elephantine
fun/ Designed to show the thing cannot be done."
What Burgess has done is present
the life of His Imperial Highness The
Emperor Napoleon Bonopartc in a
format borrowed from Ludwig
Van-- Ihe Eroica Symphony. A
musical tribute to Napoleon by a
master of notes transposed into a
written tribute by a master of
language,
Napoleon Symphony docs not
simply speak to the reader, it sings.
Burgess' lyrical prose works at a subtle level creating moods and imagery
in true musical manner, winding the
career of The Emperor through
various recurrent themes.
N a p o l e o n as conqueror.
Napoleon as lover, and Napoleon as
a man who is unable to separate the
two is portrayed.

Looking up that volume on Piedmont and its topography I swear I

it.
Ihe Emperor Prometheus brings
lire to the mortals, an act he knows
he will he punished for, chained to
the rock that is elba. and pecked and
clawed at by the vultures of history.
higher circles of power. This is a far
cry from Tolstoy's monumental
monolith of an emperor.
Burgess' humor can be obvious.
He shows Napoleon as a farcical
cuckold, the last to know of his wife's
affairs. It can also be contained in
irony, characterization and the
clever manipulation of language, but
it is never absent. Ihe combination
of Burgess, Beethoven and
Bonaparte is unbeatable. Asa novel,
Napoleon Symphony is a brilliant
musical experience.
But he is a triumphant titan rejoicing
in the knowledge that the mortals
have partaken in the fire of the gods,
and they, will never again be the
same.
Napoleon Symphony is essentially
a comic novel; to judge it as a serious
piece of literary fiction is to do both
it and Burgess (and perhaps even
Napoleon) a large injustice. Burgess
presents a Hawed man, a conqueror

Findlay Cockrcll, on Saturday,
September 21, gave a concert which
was entitled Chopin's Greatest Hits.
I expected the Recital Hall to be
packed, with the combination of
Cockrell and Chopin. Yet theempty
seats in the compact hall were
numerous.
I don't think this was because of
the other things occurring on campus. There was a performance by the
Kathryn I'osin Dance Company,
also in the I'AC, and the usual complement of movies, none which were
very good. The Dance Company
drew well but this could not account
lor the poor-turnout at the concert.
Perhaps it's because few people on
campus know about Findlay
Cockrell. He is a professor in the
Music Department and a truly excellent pianist. Although I'm no expert on classical music I've listened
to enough, particularly Chopin, to
know that Cockrcll is a fine performer in a technical sense. As well
as his technical skills he has
charisma. When 1 saw Cockrell for
Ihe first lime I was impressed by his
physical stature and obvious confidence.
Before he played I thought he was
a ham.
After he played I thought he was
great. The show was Wednesday.
September IS, when he played lour
Scherzos by Chopin. I really enjoyed this, and wanted to see more of
the same.

Dance Company on Saturday night,
images ol intricate dance patterns

in their minds.
Ihe company, in existence since
1970, made Albany Ihcir lirsl slop on

dancers including Kathryn I'osin.
Ms. Posin's choreography has a
distinct style. Il is characterized by
sharp contractions and localized
movements like the movement
across the slage where her legs were
dragged and not involved in mobile
action.

"Nuclear Energy I and Nuclear

Posin called "Days." It included a
basket as a prop, which was an integral pari of the choreography. I
was impressed by the imaginative
lighting effects, which gave Ihe illusion ol sequences of time, and
Kathryn Posin proved her creative
as well as line technical abilities in
this piece.
This was followed by "Ghost
I rain." which began with the company in many costumes. I hey ranged from a woman wilh shopping
hags lo an old man dancing wilh a
cane and they moved in a procession
ol repetitive movements. This was
quite humorous to view. I noted a
(ouch of jazz in this piece and the
music was quite pleasant. However.
Ihe Iransilion to the three solos that
followed lacked congiuily. Lance
Weslcrgard excelled in the first of
these three.
The final dance was the highlight
ol their performance. Whatever
minute details may not have satisfied
the audience lor the first four
numbers, were compensated for in
the last. The whole company joined
in Ihe vibrant sounds of a piece by
Bach on the moog synthesizer, and
the effects were remarkable.

Gridders Run Over Hofstra 33-7
Bertuzzi, the man who makes
Albany's wishbone offense go,
ran it magnificently, faking,
pitching out, and sometimes running with it himself, amassing
200 yards on the ground in the
first half. Not only did Bertuzzi
sparkle as a field general, but he
scored two touchdowns on runs
of ten and nine yards along with
a fifty-six yard touchdown pass
to split end Bob Baxter.
Though Bertuzzi sets up the
plays with his fakes, it is his
backs who get the yardage. Orin
Griffin and Glenn Solwalski outside, and Tonny DeBlois inside
ate up huge chunks of ground.
The veteran offensive line completed the winning. formula by
opening big holes for the ball
carriers. In fact only one running
play lost yardage, until the last
quarter and by then the game
was all but over.
Martin Stars
A new offensive weapon was
also revealed by the Danes.
Kicker Al Martin, a transfer
from
Nassau
Community
College kicked two field goals, a
twenty yarder and a school
record forty-five yarder. He was
also three lor four on extra
points; his one miss coming

punt.
The football team hi action against Union. Tna Danos open
their home season Saturday versus tough Alfred.
The game,played in an intermittent rain, started off with.
DeBlois and Griffin running the
ball through Hofstra. They ran
out of steam on the three and
Martin kicked a field goal.
Hofstra came out alternating
quarterbacks every play. They
could not move the ball against
Albany and were plagued with
fumbles. Some of them might
have been caused by the constant
change at quarterback.
Albany, going mainly with the
run (one pass in the firstquarter),
lulled the Hofstra cornerbacks
into playing much tighter to stop

game. Bertuzzi, on the first play
of the second quarter, faked the
handoff, freezing the defensive
backs, and then hit Bob Baxter,
who was all alone, on a fifty-six
yard touchdown strike.
Again Hofstra could not move
and both teams traded turnovers
due mainly to the slippery ball.
After one such fumble Albany's
drive was stalled a n d Martin,
aided by the wind, booted his
record breaker.
Bertuzzi Goes Over
Albany finished the scoring in
the half after receiving good field
position, by bottling up Hofstra
in their own end. Runs by Griffin and DeBlois brought the ball
t o the ten, where Bertuzzi ran it
in.
The second half saw Hofstra
move the ball better under the
direction of just one quarterback.
Albany contributed a
fumbledpunt, some sloppy tackling and the inability to get to the
quarterback to help Hofstra
score for the first time in nearly
seven quarters.
Albany came right back with
Bertuzzi breaking tackles, to
score a nine yard touchdown on
the first play of the fourth
quarter.
The biggest gain of the day
came on Albany's next possesion. Glenn Sowalski went sixtyone yards on a pitchout around
left end for Albany's final score.
The second string finished out
the game.
The offensive was impressive
despite their fumbles. Most of
them were not on exchanges (as
they were last year) but by the
runners trying to hold on to a wet
bull. Glenn Sowalski and Orin
Griffin racked up 116 and 114
yards respectively while Tom
DeBlois added seventy-nine.
Last year's big runner, Marvin
Perry, never did get started but
he was not missed by the offense.
The defense showed some
sloppy tackling at times. The
secondary, though impressive
statistically,left receivers open.
The inadequacy of Hofstra's two

problem, lime should help the
secondary get coordinated.

Booters Top
RPI and Fredonia
by Nathan Salant
The Albany State Great Danes
soccer team opened Ihcir season
last Wednesday, beating K.P.I.
4-1, and then swamped Fredonia
3-0 in a rain-drenched Saturday
matinee. The Booters dominated
both games, outshooting K.P.I.
25-12, and Fredonia 26-8.
Of great importance to the
Booters was the emergence of
Chepe Kuano as the striker the
Danes lacked last year. Kuano
scored the Danes first goal ol'thc
season at 9:22 versus K.P.I., and
then assisted on Pascuali Pelriccione's goal which ran the score
to 2-0. When K.P.I. came back
with a goal early in the second
half, Kuano netted his second
goal ol the day 30 seconds later.
Paul Schiesel scored the Danes
final goal with 12 minutes left.
In the F e d o n i a game, with the
Danes leading 1-0 on a Johnny
Rolando 15 yarder, it was Kuano
who iced it with a direct kick with
18 minutes left. Wayne Oar*
roway completed the Danes'
scoring, 3 minutes later, on a
rebound.
" W h y does it always rain when

for the visitors, it really poured.
With the score 1-0 in the first
half, l-'rcdoniit's forwards failed
on 3 excellent scoring opportunities, one thanks to Schlcgel
himself, who coveted the net
when Obwald was caught out of
position, and made a great save.
The game was played in the

Despite the cool, wet weather,
tempers flared early, and frequently, with Arthur Bedford
leaving early lor lighting, along
with his sparring parlncr.Warning
were issued to several
players throughout the contest,
and it took a fine effort by the officials to prevent any further
boxing from interrupting play.
The win over Fredonia puts
the Danes 1-0 in SUNY Conference play. The Booters travel
to Oswego Wcdncsduy, and Buffalo State Saturday, before coming home to host highly ranked
Cortland October 2.
The heavy rains failed to stop Albany's soccer team, as they shutout Fredonia
Saturday. Above the Danes try to get some footing on a very slippery turf.
Below the players take refuge from the rain and listen to some words of wisdom

Kennedy Bows Out For 76
Jackson May Now Lead Ticket
by Bob Mayer
Senator Kennedy's decision this
week to remove himself from consideration as the Democratic
presidential nominee in 1976 was a
well thought-out deciNews
sion for the Senator.
Analysis
though it presents a
dreadful dilemma for
his party.
I he decision to avoid the campaign has been attributed by
political analysts to many factors.
The most common are Chappaquiddiek and Kennedy's familial responsibilities. These two areas reflect
only a small part ol the decision that
has burdened the family as well as
the party ever since the tragic day in
Los Angeles when Robert Kennedy
was murdered.
Chappaquiddick presented an
enormous obstacle for the Senator,
though by no means an insurmountable one. Granted that Watergate
has attuned the public to questions
of moral integrity; that the antiKennedy forces were waiting in the
wings with slogans like "Nobody
ever died in Watergate":
yet,
Kennedy's smooth style, and his
family's gill of hypnotizing u large
segment of this nation, would have
in some measure reduced the impact
of that particular tragedy.
Still. Kennedy's less than candid
apologia loomed in the air as a
frightful issue in a national campaign and to some degree played an
important role in his decision not to
run.
The Emotional Stress
His explanation of "family
responsibilities" was somewhat disguised, fine, the Senator's son may

Early next week. St udent Association is expected to submit to Mayor Corning its alternate housing proposal based on square footage.
Student Association officials met Tuesday with Morris Eiss. the head of
the Albany Code Enforcement Bureau, to discuss their new amendment. This
amendment, il accepted, would halt the threat tostudent apartment dwellers
and theorciienll>. solve the problems ol'thc Albany community, according to
SA Vice-President Ira Hirnhauin.
the original bill, passed three weeks ago. posed a threat to SUNY A's offcampus residents. It would have made it illegal for more than three unrelated
people iolhc together. I he hill currently 'tiwaits Mayor Coming's signature.
Corning said he would wait until an alternate housing proposal Was drawn
up.
the meeting with Eiss was an attempt to get a city official's opinions on the
proposal. FINS also helped the Student Association work out the specifics of
their amendment.
SA President Pal Currau. Vice-President Ira Uirnhaum, and actingSA
business Operations administrator Kim Kreiger. discussed all four sections of
their proposal with Eiss. Alter the meeting. Birnhuum commented that Eiss
"wasn't erii/y about it."
Despite criticism In Eiss. SA officials will meet with Mayor Corning on
Monday when they expect to present him with their proposal. Ihey hope the
amendments will impress Corning enough to sway him to veto the Common
Council's housing ordinance. Ihey hope Council will accept their
amendments instead. However, they remain pessimistic, with Hirnhauin
slating."there's a chance, not a good one."
three major problems brought about the Common Council's bill.
Permanent Albany residents point out the outrageously high rents they
have to pay because of students, two hundred and fifty dollars per month
can be paid with greater ease by live students, than by a middle class family.
A recent R.P.I, study showed that SUNYA students force rents up. and
that students pay 67';( more rent than non-students.
Residents also point out severe parking problems and the high noise level
as other justifications for the original housing hill.
Hie student-proposed square-footage amendment would tentatively
specify that there be a minimum of 3H0 square feet of floor space for a single
occupant: at least 460 square feet for two: 540 for 3:640 for 4: and a minimum
of XII square feel for each additional dweller.
For rooming and lodging units the amendment specifies that the "maximu in nu mber of occupants shall be limited to one person for every 90 square
feet and one additional person for every 90 square feet thereafter."
SA's proposal also has a family definition. It enumerates that one or more
persons living together constitute a family. This contrasts Common Council's delinilion of no more than three persons constituting a family.
In a gesture to alleviate future parking problems SA's new proposal will
specify that all new multiple family residences provide for adequate off-thestreel parking. Another section specifies that "any-sub-division made to
currently existing dwellings be accompanied by a provision lorolT-lhe-street
parking of one ear per new room."
these two parking provisions do nothing to help the immediate parking
problem. Eiss noted. SA leaders countered this by suggesting that Albany
eliminate the complex alternate side of the street parking. By opening parking on both sides of the street, more cars could fit.
Another provision indicates that "SUNYA Off-Campus Housing Office
shall list only those dwellings which have been issued a Certificate of Occupancy." the main purpose of this section is to insure to students a decent
place to live.
Hirnhnum noted thai since many people do not have decent housing, a
great deal of work will he laced by building inspectors.
Eiss noted there was no solution to the high rent and the noise problems,
file SA heads suggested that rent control be used to keep prices down. Eiss.
favoring the idea, told them they should support legislation concerning rent
control.
In answer lo the noise problem. S A explained that it only takes one person
to run a stereo (the biggest noise complaint), and the only answer to that
problem would be to outlaw stereos.
Since SA leaders expect Corning to sign the original hill with the limit of
three. Ihe question has been raised as to SA's counter move.
Ira Birnhauni commented, "any action we take will not be taken until after
lie signs it into law. We haven't ruled out the possibility, but we haven't considered it either!"
SUNYA students may have an ace up their sleeve, however. HughCarey,
Democratic nominee lor Governor, will be attending the SASU meeting in
Albany on Saturday. Corning has endorsed Carey and may be influenced by
his opinion. Uirnhaum slated. "We're trying to employ Carey's support since
he has tried to appeal to be pro-student throughout his campaign, We'll now
find out how pro-student he really is."
Chancellor Boyer announced
his intention to speak st the student press conference with
SUNY officials this afternoon.
The announcement came
suddenly late Wednesday afternoon. There was some speculalion that he would be speaking
about a proposed tuition Increase lor SUNY schools.
