Dutchmen Dump Danes 5-3
Democrats Sweep Election
NCAA Bid in Jeopardy
by Nathan Salant
"We played our belt soccer of the
season in the first half, using exactly
the type of short, quick passing we
should, but in the second half we
-reverted to long-balling, which is not
our style, and it cost us," said Albany
State varsity soccer coach Bill
Schieffelin, after his Booters had
dropped a 5-3 decision to visiting
Union, Tuesday.
The loss drops Albany's record to
7-3-1, and casts some doubt over a
possible NCAA Tournament bid,
pending this weekend's games at the
University Center Tournament in
Stony Brook, where the Danes must
beat Stony Brook in round one, and
Binghamton in round two, to
qualify.
Over two thousand fans turned
out for this, the Booters' final home
game of the regular season, and they
watched Albany come from behind
three times to tie the game at 3-3 at
the half, before John Denio scored
what proved to be the winning goal
for Union, with IS minutes left to
play.
The gameopened with Union controlling the ball, and scoring early in
the game when John Denio beat
Albany goalie Henry Obwald on a
breakaway at the two minute mark.
Albany came back four minutes
later, when Johnny Rolando set up
Chepc Ruano and Pasquale Pctriccionc on a two-on-one break. Ruano
carried in on the left side, beat the
lone fullback, and then fed Petriccione who fired it into the far corner
to complete the picture-play goal.
Union recorded the third goal of
the game when, with the ball loose
in front of Albany's goal, Emerick
Hrowne-Markeof Albany attempted
to clear the ball out of the area, but
his kick hit Union halfback Rich
Earle in the chest and rebounded
into the Albany net. Albany came
right back, this time on a rebound
goal by Matty Denora, following a
direct kick by Arthur Bedfor, which
was bobbled by Union goalie Chris
Huban. Huban was injured on the
play, and was replaced by John
Busterood.
With the score tied 2-2, and Union's Craig Jefferics breaking in on
Obwald, Ricardo Rose tripped
Jefferics, in the penalty zone, resiling in a penalty kick. Jefferies converted the shot, to put Union ahead
with 18 minutes left in the first half.
I'etriccione tied it up for the third
time, when Lcroy Aldrich led-fed
him perfectly for a breakaway. Once
again, Ruano was on Petriccione's
left, and with the goalie anticipating
a pass to Ruano, and leaning right,
Petriccione beat Busterood to the
left side.
The half ended with the scoretied
at 3-3.
The second half opened with
Albany moving noticeably slower,
apparently losing momentum
because of the halftime pause.
Gradually, Union began taking advantage of this, and kept play in
Albany's half of the field. As time
elapsed, Albany drifted away from
its short pass, control game, to Union's long ball, breakaway style.
Time and time again the Dane
fullbacks would clear the ball out to
midficld, only to have it come to rest
at the feet of one or more Union
players, who would boot it back into
Albany territory, as the Dane halfbacks and forwards failed to pick up
at midficld. Eventually, the Danes
were burned, when Denio scored his
second goal. Five minutes later,
Denio completed his hat trick, with
an insurance goal.
"I cannot understand it," said
former Albany varsity soccer player
Mark Solano, "The Danes played
their best soccer in the first half, but
then pulled a second half collapse
reminiscent of the one Union suffered from ktst year, when we beat
them 7-4"
"There were several bright spots
on Albany's side of the fence,"
Solano continued, "the most important of which was the outstanding
play of Petriccione, who worked well
with Ruano up front. Bob Schlegcl
played well, covering the Albany net
several times when Obwald was forced to come out to stop breakaways.
Obwald also played well, stopping
two two-on-goal breakaways, and
three one-on-goal situations."
Another former varsity player
pointed out that, "Union had scored
their final goals after the ejection of
Lcroy Aldrich from the game for unsportsmanlike conduct. Aldrich's
ejection," he continued, "seemed to
be the straw that broke the Dane's
back."
"Look," said Ricardo Rose,
fullback for Albany State, "You win
as a team, and lose that way, too. In
the first half we played as a team, and
should have been ahead but for that
fluke goal. In the second half, the
defense weakened, the forwards and
halfbacks were not picking up the
ball at the mid field, and because, as a
team we played poorly, we lost."

Winning Is Gridders' Poll

The football team against Brockport Saturday. Albany won, 36-14
by l.es Zuckermxn
The true indication of a great foolball team is the number of victories
they produce each season. This is the
feeling that Albany Slate must have
as they dropped to ninthinithis.
w e e k ' s Lambert Bowl Poll.
Tomorrow, the Danes travel to
Curry College in a 1:3u start, as they
try to extend their winning streak.
The Great Danes defeated
Brockport last week, 35-14. At halftime of that game Coach Ford
blasted the team for sloppy play and
poor execution. The first half included two long runs for touchdowns
called back by penalties, and two
fumbled punt returns, by Albany.
Upon viewing the game films on
Sunday, Coach Ford noticed that
the team had not played as bad as he
thought. The films showed good
protection by the offensive line and
excellent utilization of the wishbone
attack. The first half statistics
totaled 307 yards for Albany Slate's
offense.
Coach Ford does not feel his
criticism was justified after the first
half against Brockport. The mistakes were made by competent people who "just had a bad day". The
Coach sees no reason to fault his
team for this game and is optimistic
touia lpuiorrow'S game at Curry.
Curry is 5-1-1 this season under
Coach lorn Stephens. They use a
pro-type offense, featuring quarterback Tom Fair. Fair isa sophomore,
6'3" l°0 pounder, who has been
described as the best athlete on Ihe
Curry squad. He is an excellent running quarterback, who calls plays
exceptionally well. Fair has a strong
hut inaccurate throwing arm, as he
has only a 33% completion rating.
Albany must contain the running of
Fair and force him to throw the ball.
However, Curry has a speedster at
Hanker in Alan Williams. The Dane
secondary cannot allow Williams to
shake loose, because quarterback
Fair will have no problem throwing
the ball deep. The only question is
whether or not Williams can handle
Fair's errant tosses.
On defense, Curry uses a 4-3 formation, similar to many professional
teams. The linebacking corps is excellent in both lateral movement and
pursuit. At middlelinebackcr,
George Gardner 6'1" 235, is an intelligent play reader with all the
necessary physical skills. The outside
linebacking is headed by George
Moran; he has been cited by Coach
Ford as "a solid performer with good
football sense." It will be Moran's
job to slow down Ihe Great Dane
wishbone attack.
Ihe Albany defense nau two of its
key performers hurl in last weeks'
game. Don Mion and Ken Schoen,
both linebackers, sustained slight injuries. Mion's damage was more
serious, as he suffered a head injury
that has been causing recurring
headaches all week. It is expected
that he will see action tomorrow,
despite the nature of his injury.
Will use backups
The Brockport game allowed
Coach Ford to use free substitution
lor most of the second half. The
Coach is trying to give his inexperienced players a larger roleon the
field. "I can't see going with our first
defensive unit just for the sake of the
Lambert Bowl. We will continue using our back-ups whenever the game
situation permits. After all, these
kids will be our starters next season".
Coach Ford noted that Gerry
Bennett played an excellent game
against Brockport. The young
linebacker replaced Don Mion after
his injury and led the team with
twenty tackles. Coach Ford is confident that the resl ol his second-string
could do a similar job, given the opportunity.
Albany Slate is out to prove to the
Lambert Bowl people that they do
not care about the weekly rankings.

Projecting the image of a family man,
Hugh Carey is nonetheless a lough politician. From a virtual unknown even a year
ago. he has made a meteoric rise in prestige
by pledging just what Americans of the
post-Watergate era want to hear -reform
in government, accessabilily of elected officials, more jobs, light against inflation,
aid lo schools, and lowering of the crime
rate.

his concession speech at I 1:40 last night in

Grand Ballroom of Ihe nearby Commodore Hotel, posing with his twelve
children (he's not personally for abortion,
bill he ihinks Hint every woman should
have ihe right lo make her own decision),
and then said. "I.el the word go forth thai
the divisions and distinctions in the
Democratic parly have united and come
home."
The sweating, glowing faces of the
atttlience. clearly his "family," ligliied up,
and the applause drowned his words.
But in victory, there was also some
sorrow. "Ihere is triumph tonight, bill
there is also lor me and for my family a
divided memory. We remember our love
for our Helen, Peter, and Hugh. That has
sustained us until now."
The audience buzzedwith the memory o]
another Irish Deniocralic family—the
Kennedys.
Carey has played upon their image. Last
night in his speech he filed some of the party's history: "We inherit and hold high the
tradition of hope. We remember Al Smith,
who six decades ago was in Albany, and
Robert Wagner, who five years ago wenl
lighting lor Ihe U.S. Senate; Franklin
Roosevelt, who lour decades ago was in
Washington; and Averill liarriman twenty

Javits Beats Clark For 4th Term
Henley Talks Through Photos
by D o u g H o r w H i ,
I f the Chinese proverb "one pictureis worth more than
ten thousand w o r d i " is true, then Thomas A. Henley is a
man who is able to stimulate agreat deal of conversation.
Henley is a free-lance photographer who displayed
over three hundred o f his Tine slides before a National
History lecture series audience last Tuesday evening.
Much of Henley's work has appeared in such magazmts
us Adirondack Life and Backpacking.
In the Bowels of the Earth Abounds a Mystical Beauty
Henley led an older audience through the many
wonders found. in nature and wilderness. His pictorial
expression o l the variations encountered by nuiurc as the
seasons chungc was handled masterfully. The veteran
photographer was also able to effectively display the unique beauty found in each realm o f nature. Through his
photographic expertise he showed that even within the
dark bowels ol the earth' there ubounds a mystical beauty.
Much o f the mountain scenery that Henley presented
was photographed in the nearby Adirondacks. The
photographer noted that man has a "limited observational ability" and if he fails to look closely he may
easily miss much of what nature has to offer. Apparently
Henley has missed very little as is evidenced by his pictures. .
The naturc-lovcr/photographcrdescribed many ol his
hiking excursions as a search for peace. When he reaches
his destination he linds himself "developing a sense of
Waldcn." To the delight of Tuesday evening's audience,
Henieywus able to capture thut peaceful mood on film.

i Election Analysis:
Democrats Look Toward 7 6
by Robert Mayer
I wo years after Richard Nixon led his parly in a landslide victory, lllc
Democrats appeared to have finished a substantial sweep pi llielr own. There
has been a major erosion ol Republican representatives in the House, with
Ihe strong likelihood thin Democrats will have gained W new seals. Lour
lorinerly Republican Senate seals have gone lo Democrats, and out ol The ten
liirgesi siules nine will have Democratic governors.
II is clear Ihul the democratic vicory is attributed lo the electorate's conviclion I hat (lie Republicans have been more responsible lor the nation's ills Ihul
ihe Democrats, Not only have Watergate and the economy worked against
ihe Republicans in this election, but, so has history. In any oil vein elect,on.
the oiii-party has always gained; but not since Franklin Delano Rooseveli,
has the out-party gained such a significant victory.
Ihe Inline import of this election may not be certain, There was never
much validity to President Lord's assertion that a huge Democratic victory
would result in a "legislative diciatoi ship." Even with the two-thirds majority
in the House, it is unlikely thai Democrat scan band together to effect a voteprool Congress. Lor example, in ilie old House only IK9 members were in
lavor ol giving the President powers to control wages and prices. The new
Congress will have about 212 members who would support such measures,
I lial is not enough to enacl legislation and certainly nol enough lo override a
Presidential veto. On culling ihe budget, 142 members ol ihe old House
preferred slicing Ihe defense budget rullier lhan domestic spending. In Ihe
new House, less than a majority will lavor culling Ihe defense budget. In
regard lo health insurance paid otu of Social Security taxes. Ihe new Congress may have some impact. In the old House, 197 Congressmen were in support ol it; in Ihe new House, il is estimated that 222 members would support
such legislation, I his is just u hare majority enough lo pass bul nol enough
to override the veto, these figures suggest thut in the new Congress, a slim
majority does nol want wage and price control, does nol want the defense
budget out, hul (by u small majority) wants ihe establishment of u government health insurance program.
I he I Jeinocrulic sweep ol Ciovernors will have a considerable effect on the
l u 7b Presidential elections, Willi nine out of the ten largest populated stales
controlled by Democratic governors, the chances of securing their states'
electoral college votes are very promising. In addition, these Democratic
Governors can be expected to throw their political weight behind a
Democratic presidential candidate.
One thing this election bus certainly done is lo reverse the effect of the 1972
Democratic debacle. For the Republicans, it is a defeat thut must be reckoned with if ihe parly is lo survive the coming decade. A n entirely new bund of
political stars will emerge from yesterday's election und for the most pari,
they are Democratic. Ihe names of Birch Bayh of Indiana, Hugh Carey of
New York, Rubin Askew of Florida. Dale Bumpers of Arkansas, and John
Olefin ol Ohio, will all surface in a Democratic parly as it looks forward with
fresh resolve lo the next Democratic election.

As is his style. Clark quoted Carl

justice. But. let's be as gentle as

towards the end of his concession
speech. Clark told his supporters to
"Keep the faith." Yet, somehow the
impression lingered that faith and
idealism do not hold water against
calculating, practical expedience.
THERE'S A NEW RULE OFTHUMB
FOR WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS.
AMTRAK.
.-•?:.,«. - '
Instead of standing on a highway, catching
the hreeze as the cars pass you by at 55 mph,
you could be catching our car. Amtrak may not
be as cheap as hitching. B(.it for the little
money you spend, you get a lot more in return.
Nowhere else but on ah Amtrak train do
you get so much room along the way.
We give you the biggest seat in travel. With
more space around it, too.
From our picture windows, we give you
the kind of close-up view of America you
can't get from highways and cloudbanks.
You can get a different point of view,
too, from the people you meet
on the train. Since there are no seat belts
to hold you back on Amtrak,
you can roam the train from car to car.
Maybe grab something to drink
at the snack bar or lounge car. And
the prices are reasonable, too,
.
ft
On cross-country trips, you can stop off along
the way anywhere you like. Then
board another train later with
the same ticket.
But for the time you're with us,
you'llfindthe Amtrak train,
a whole different trip. Because
we not only get you to where
you're going, we take you away from
the problems of air pollution,
energy crisis and inflation. Maybe
that's why on trains people act more
like friends than strangers.
On your next trip, come together with
your friends on Amtrak.
Save America's Energy. Save Your Energy.
Ride the Train.

Rooky's Vast Wealth Hinder* VP Confirmation
Argues
t*D**MC»jM
The Ficulty meeting of October
22 it over. The proverbial moke h u
dared but the iuues remain, for the
most part, unresolved.
The meeting wit called to order by
Preiidem Bcnezet who begin by
noting the painfully obvioui lick of
the 40% 4116mm. The President urged that the ficulty proceed at far at
possible without the call for a
.. quorum (which would end the
meeting) and the faculty complied.
The first proposed amendment
redefined "faculty'* i h d "voting
faculty" lo make these terms, as used
in the Faculty By-laws, consistent
with the terms as used in the Policies
of the Board of Trustees. This passed
by a voice vote with little discussion
and even less disention.
The faculty then chose to move to
the questions raised by proposals
number 7and 7a (the Collins amendment). Number 7 called for the creation of a Faculty Academic Council
in which Ihe "powers of the Senate in
academic matters shall be vested."
I his council would consist of "the
President of ihe University, the
Academic Vice President of the University, the chairman of the Senate,
and all other Senators duly elected
or appointed who are members of
the academic tuffof the University."
The Vice President for Academic Affairs would determine what does or
does not constitute an academic
matter.
7a is an amendment to 7 that has
been introduced by Professor
Arthur Collins. It calls for the
equivalent of a caucus of the faculty
Senators. The body would have no
power but would be the only body
that consisted solely of faculty
representing the interests of all the
SUNVA faculty.
It was the feeling of those present
that these two proposals were the
key to the others and that voting on
any of these proposals without first
deciding the fundamental questions
brought up here would be illogical.
After some discussion it wasdecided
to consider the Collins alternative
first.
Those who argued in favor of
proposal 7a on its merits said lhat it
was necessary to have a separate
body 10 represent the ficulty but that
power was not i n issue here. They
argued that ficulty were reluctant to
criticize their colleagues in the
presence of students. They felt that
s t u d e n t s and nonteaching
professionals should hive a voice in
academic policy a n d * * ' was'why
this was the best solution.Those who
opposed 7a argued that 7 was the
proper solution, lhat this was not a
question of power but a question of
responsibility.
Apparently, those who disliked
both proposals voted in favor of 7a
as the better of the two and will now
proceed to vote against jt as not as
good as the present system.
The substitution of 7a for 7 passed
with 126 voting in the affirmative, 72
voting in the negative, and 16
abstaining. At this point thequorum
count was called for and as the
results of the vole clearly indicated
there was not present. The President
ruled thut Ihe substitution was legally binding as the results of the vote
were announced prior to the call for
a quorum.
He then called on Professor

procedure that was lo be used for the

Committee On Nominations and

be two ballots. Thefirstwould be the
question ol whether or not to amend
Ihe By-laws lo include 7a (Ihe Collins
amendment). Johnson said thai the
second ballot would ask Ihc faculty
lo take up those questions raised by
the other 5amendments. This bnllol
would not be mailed out until the
results of the first ballot have been
tabulated and announced.
This procedure was accepted ana

Nelson Rockefeller's chances of
being confirmed for the nation's second highest office are floundering.
Many ol the Senators and Representatives are who will have to judge
him arc concerned about the multimillionaire's immense financial
resources.
Critics of his confirmation argue
l|iat Rockefeller's wealth and in- '
lluence are dangerous in the handsof
the Vice-President. The powerof the
office combined with his money are '
not amenable with democracy,
critics argue.
Both the House of Representatives and the Senate must approve
Rockefeller's Vice-Presidential
nomination by a majority vote.
At Ihe heart of the issue for
Roekeleller's'crilics is lhat his enormous wealth' already yields tremendous Influence, the Vice-I'resideney
would expand his vast social and
political influence in the nation.
While the radical newspapers portrayed the lorhier New York governor as controlling llie U.S. and much
ol the world (lor example, one said
he "owned Venezuela1'). Rockefeller
countered and called this view a

many are beginning lo consider it

level to various street academies,
youth-oriented guidance and learning centers, possibly Ihe Albany

To carry out this intent, some paid
lecturers .and some volunteers will
offer a course in the "Youth and the

1. skits put on lodramatizewhata

These episodes are followed by
discussions;
2. the explanation of legal terms;
3. Ihe conducting of mock trials;
4. the asking ol questions of young
people related to their own contact
with the law:
5. the selling up of panels and the
encouragement of participation in

through the "Youth and Ihc Law"
Project, judges, policemen, and

Why is this organization going to

in this way kids will be more receptive to the eduealion. i
The Legal Information Service
distributes iniormation to the community in regard lo different
criminal justice issues. They answer
questions on the telephone and in

people uptown. As put succinctly by
Guy Jones, "The people who need to

Eleven Years Since Diem
SSSSSSSSby Steve Biboulis SSSS-f:*
Friday, November I was the eleventh anniversary of the overthrow of President Diem
of South Vielnam. That assassination brought
forth a new era in American and world
hisiory. What was the outcome of Ihe events
thai ensued during that time? Sadly, practically all the results have been harmful, if not disasterous, lo our country and to the principles
ol democracy we cherish",
Diem had begun t o d d y certain commands
he received from Ihe United States government and the Pentagon. He had fallen out of
our country's good graces because of his disobedience, and the U.S. no longer felt that his
continuance in office was a necessity. The
government was far from displeased when he
was killed.

The 'Discreet Charm of the CIA
Stinky Pinky
Reporter:
Under what international law do we have a
right to destabilize the constitutionally elected
government of another country?
Do yob know the game Stinky Pinky? It's a guessing game where you
may say: ."I have a stink pink that means a large rodent." Another player
then has to think of the correct answer, which would.have to consist of two
rhyming words. Here the. answer is "fat rat"., If you said "stinky pinky" it
would mean that each of the two words in the Rhrase has two syllables.
' O n e day a few weeks ago Arts Editor Alan Abbey was playing Stinky,
Pinky with us. He gave us a tough one: "I have a stinkertyer pinkertyer that
means a New'York wine cabinet." We racked our brains,,but couldn't respond, It turned out to have been thought up by Alan's father: A Knickerbocker Liq'uorlocker. The moment we heard it we wanted to make it a
headline.
The article we assigned for this headline is today's Perspectives centertold. Roam about the Albany area visiting bars with Ellen Baskin. And learn
what it really means when someone asks you il you can tie a maraschino
cherry with your tongue. We think it's an excellent, story for the headline.
President Ford:
lam notgoing to pass judgement on whether it
is permitted or authorized under international
law. It is a recognized fact that historically as
well as presently, such actions are taken in the
best interests of the countries involved.

NOVEMBER 5, 1974
attempted the penetration oi the Bamboo and Inn Curtain*, and the countering
ol Communist influence by the support ol pro-American political parties, the
spread oi covert propaganda, economic sabotage, and paramilitary operation.
In most cases, a covert operation is discovered only when it tails so spectacularly that it cannot be kept a secret. Examples are the U-2 incident in 1960
when the spy plane piloted by Francis Gary Powers was shot down by the Soviet
Union, the Cuban Invasion oi 1961, and the Chilean incident. There have been
successes: the 19S3 coup which deposed Iranian Premier Mohammed
Massadegh, believed to be a Communist sympathizer; the 1954 revolution in
Guatemala which destroyed the Communist government oi lacobo Arbenz.
Suspected operations were the 1967 coup in Greece, the 1967 killing of Che
Guavera in Bolivia, and the 1970 overthrow ol Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia.
The CIA was deeply involved in Southeast Asia, beginning in 1962 when a
thirty-thousand-man army was organized in Laos to fight the Communist Pathet
Lao—at a cost ol million. Although of dubious success, director Colby maintains
•hat the operation prevented a Communist takeover.
The Other Side
How can the CIA justify itsuse-of covert operations? The answer/say officials, is
a simple one: the other side does ihe same—if not more. Communist operations
can be directed from central locations (Moscow, Peking, etc.) and can take the
guise ol focal political movements. Also, Communist dictatorships, withoutan interfering legislature or press, have an unlimited amount oi Ireedom in organizing
and lunding secret operations.
The Soviet Union's KGB is the CIA's chief competition in world allairs. With an
estimated 300,000 employees, the organization frequently runs what are termed
"active measures" in foreign countries. A large portion ol the KGB's personnel
are assigned domestic duties, such as running the Soviet prison camp system.
Others lunction abroad as embassy personnel.
As w.ith the CIA, KGB operations are mostly known by their lailures, such as
Ihe attempts at overthrowing the governments ol the Congo (1963) and Ghana
(1967). Mexico uncovered a KGB-sponsored guerilla organization in 197.1, and
several weeks ago an attempt to set up an underground pro-Moscow political
party in Yugoslavia was discovered by ollicials there. The KGB Disinlormation
Department, which specializes in circulating lalse rumors and forged
documents, is now waging a campaign toconvice Indians that Arnerican foreign
exchange students and Peace Corps volunteers are CIA agents.
by D o u g Galanter
The above remark by President Ford at his press conlerence several weeks ago
lett the ominous impression that the United States has no qualms about subverting a foreign government in the interests oi foreign policy. This statement came
alter Mr. Ford had conlirmed that the Nixon Administration had authorized the
CIA to wage an $8—million campaign from 1970-73 to overthrow Salvador
Allende's Chilean Marxist government, and was an addition to the growing list ol
cases in which Congress has been misled by the Executive Branch. Has the CIA
gone too lar in recent times, and is it out ol control, or is the White House actually

is it to resolve the dilemma ol an agency ol a Iree society using "dirty tricks" to implement foreign policy?
William Colby, the new director ol the CIA, has said that the agency's "cloak

Recognising the nationwide downturn in air qually, Congress In 1970
amended the Clean Air Act to establish national standards for cleaning
it up—primary itandards to protect
human health, wcondary itandards to
protect human welfare. Where the air
ia dirty, it has to be cleaned up to meet
the national standards. What could be
simpler, right?
Wrong. To be sure, there's a lot of dirty air hanging around these days. But
it's not all bad. In fact, there's some
which is almost pure, orat least cleaner
than required by the national standards. That's because the standards
are designed to protect health and
welfare, not guarantee perfect air. So
the sticky question is: if the dirty air has
to be cleaned up, does the existing
clean air have to be kept from getting
dirtier?
Industrialists and developers,
predicting an end to economic growth
if significant
deterioration
of
"unnecessarily" clean air is prevented,
have answered with a resounding
"No." Environmentalists, arguing that
d e v e l o p m e n t a n d c l e a n air
maintenance are not mutually exclusive when well-planned and controlled, have responded with an equally firm, "Yes." The Environmental
Protection Agency, which has responsibility for implementing the law,
thinks the states should be the ones to
decide.
So environmentalists took the
Federal Agency to court in May, 1972,
to lorce It i to write regulations
prohibiting signilicant deterioration
throughout the nation. A year later,
EPA had lost in three courts, including
the Supreme Court. The judicial ruling:
"the Clean Air Act ol 1970 is based in
important part on a policy of nondegradation of existing clean air
and . . . permitting the states to submit
plans which allow pollution levels of
clean air to rise to the secondary level
of pollution is . . . invalid." EPA was
ordered to write significant deterioration regulations for the states.
Now, affer a year of litigation and
another year of in-house hassles, EPA
finally announced its new regulations
on August 16th. Whatdo they say? The
states should decide. Almost lour years

more than two since EPA was lirst told

air. Class II would permit some
change, but still keep the quality above
national standards. In Class III, air
would not have to be better than
•••
national standards. The restrictions on
air quality in all three classes would
pertain only to two of the five pollutants
covered by national standards.
To b e g i n , EPA's p r o p o s e d
regulations call for all'areas to be
classified as Class II. After studies have
been made of the impact of 19 industrial categories in each class, the
states could go ahead and redesignate
areas how ever and how often they
desire, provided the public gets a
chance to voice its opinion first. If a
state wants to designate the whole state
Class I, it could, just as it could classify
the whole state Class III, it could
downgrade an area with especially
clean air by designating it Class III.
EPA would retain final say on each
class redesignation. But that approval
w o u l d b e withheld if certain
procedural requirements were not
fulfilled or the designation authority
had "arbitrarily and capriciously" disr e g a r d e d relevant environmental,
social, or economic considerations.
C r i t i c i s m s on .the p r o p o s e d
regulations are being heard during the
ongoing 30-day comment period
before the Agency makes its linal
changes in the regulations. Among environmentalists' concerns are; 1.) Inallowing the states to decide the signilicant deterioration question, EPA clearly ignores the court decision; 2.) While
the courts prohibited deterioration in
"any.,,portjon of .any state," EPA's
regulations would permit any portion,
or even all, ol any state to deteriorate to
the national standards; 3.) The classes
don't coverall pollutants regulated by
the
national standards; 4.) The
regulations won't go into effect until six
months after they're finalized (mid1975), although the law was to take
effect in 1972; 5.) EPA itself has found
to prevent signilicant deterioration, throughout this controversy has been that development iB possible within a

Making the Sacrifice
To the Editor:
Concerning the sale of tickets to University
sponsored concerts, it seems to me that when a
large number of people are expected to make
the early rush for tickets, it would be logical to
have a representative of th" U.C. B. present, to
impose some sort of organization. I realize
that it would be a sacrifice for someone to
spend the night out of the comforts of his/her
bedroom. However it takes only a few peopleto actually book a concert; maybe the rest of
the board ought to do a little more to cam the
free front row seats they are given for every
concert.
Perhaps if some members of the U.C.B.
were a little more conscientious, there would
be no more incidents such as the one thai occurred Wednesday morning.

To the Editor:
We at the Allen Centerare very appreciative
of the article in your October 23 issue which
concerned the interdisciplinary major given by
the Allen Center.
The article by Mr. Moser and Mr. Levantman was essentially an accurate, fair appraisal
of the Center and its program and we thought
you should know that from our point of view
they did a very good job.

To the Editor:
In case you have not heard yet, the Haikus
attributed to me were not mine. This is not
merely a plea for justice to be done and true
credit given to the original poet (I'm generous,
but only to give a good impression), but alsoa
plea for justice to me: I thought mine were
better. If those printed had been .better than
mine I would cheerfully have taken credit for
them. We artists arc very sensitive about our
art. but we would kill for recognition.
If you print this letter 1 will be satisfied.

I was disturbed when I read in last

To the Editor:

iricd to locate a week-old newspaper, which
contained an article that had been
recommepded to me. I found the issue I
wunted easily; it wasontopofa carl filled with
newspapers near the door of the periodical
room. However, as soon as I picked the paper
up, I was asked to put il down by someone (a
library employee, I presumc)who solemnly informed me that these newspapers were to be
"recycled."
After verifying that I was indeed being asked to relinquish a paper 1 wanted to read in
order to allow the paper to be "recycled," I put
the unread paper back on the cart and went
into the next room where, another employee
assured me, 1 would find another copy of the
issue I wanted. Not at all to my surprise, there
were no other copies of the particular issue 1
wanted; and I therefore conclude that the
library was "rtcycllng"'\u only issue of aweeaold newspaper.

Booters Bomb in Tdurney;
Double Loss Ends Hopes
by Nathan Salant
Disaster struck the Albany State
Great Danes soccer team at this past
weekend's University Center Tournament at Stony Brook, where the
Booters were kicked twice, first by
third-seeded host Stony Brook, 3-1,
and then in the consolation game
versus fellow upset loser Binghamton, 3-0. The double dumping drops
the Danes' final season record to 7-5I, after winning theirfirstfivegames.
"We played poorly against Stony .
Brook," said Dane Coach Bill
Schicffclin, "and we might as well
have not shown up for the first half
versus Binghamton (Binghamton
scored, their three goals here). We
seemed to hick the heart and desire
to score and win, and combined that
with sloppy defense to form a nice
little, losing, package."
"There is little to be said about our
performance," said one of the
Booters, "We simply stunk up the
field."

Third Quarter Magic
The third quarter explosion. That's been the name of the game lor the
Albany football team's offense all season. It's been their best quarter all year.
Two weeks ago it was 21 points in the third quarter against Brockport and
last Saturday the Dunes put an amazing 29 points on the board in their
favorite quarter against a shocked Curry squud. Both performances came
alter lackluster first halves by the Danes.
With Albany's special third quarter heroics, one would imagine that Coach
Ford's hall time talk must really be something else. But this is not the case
Ford's speeches have been far from the "win one for thcGippor" variety.
"I didn't say much at halflime," said Ford about the Curry game. "I
thought we played well in the first half. We just couldn't get ahold ol the football. I told the team not to worryand relax; things will worklhcmsclvcsout
Ford was right, as the Danes completely exploited Curry in theseeond half.
W ishlmiu' I akes I inir
Instead, the reason for Albany's fine third quarter performances is the
Dane's wishbone offense. The wishbone is a very complex offense which
develops slowly. Basically, it allows quarterback John' Hcrtuzzi lo exercise
several options, while keeping the defense confused.
The key to the offense is Berluzzi's ability to read the opposition's defense.
Thus, the first half of each game becomes something of an experiment, with
Bcrluzzi probing the opposition's defense for weaknesses, flic Danes do not
really develop an offensive game plan until the third quarter, with the
resulting offensive explosions.
In the Brockport game, Dane fullback Tommy DeBlols ran wild. Curry
scouts at that game brought hack a simple reporlistop DeBlois and you stop

Ifncbttckjor inside, and leaving that side relatively open. DeBlois wasstopped
up the middle, gaining only .17 yards, far below his average rushing performance ol 128 yards a game. With the middle jammed, Hcrtuzzi took advantage ol the wishbone, and exercised his other options.

In League II Football Playoff action. A.P.A. scored their second upset of
the playoffs by defeating the Schuyler Skulls 12-6 in a double overtime battle
lo win the League I I championship. A.P.A. had previously defeated topseeded, two touchdown favorite Tuscaroru, 7-6. to udvancc to Ihe finals.
Schuyler had upset one touchdown favorite Taint. 15-0.
"We knew we had to stop Dave Wilder (ihe league's leading scorer with
close to HO points)." said A.P.A. Captain Joel Schensul, "and we keyed on
him delensively. Wc were pretty successful he only broke 2 long runs, one
ol which scored Schuyler's lone touchdown."
A.I'.A. received the opening kickoll, and on second down, a long bomb
from quarterback Bob (Jusherli to end Bob Malone appeared to be a
touchdown, hut a personal foul, called by umpire Sam DiUovanni, nullified
ihe play.
Schuyler threatened on their second series, but A.P.A. made a dramatic
goal line stand to hold Ihe Skulls out. An interception by (iary Smith slopped
that drive.
I he first hall ended with no score, and die pattern (defense) held true for
most ol the second hull.
Schuyler scored first.'with jusl six minutes to play, on a 50 yard drive
climaxed by Dave Wilder's 25 yard sweep. I he extra point was missed,
fininks Id middle linebacker JnhnMurphy. who caught Skull's quarterback
Mike llolonia on a sweep, and made what mined out to be the game saving
play.
A.I'.A. came buck one minute later on a 70 yard touchdown pass lo Dave
llcnllcy to lie Ihe game. Once again, die extra point was missed, with Ron
Winter providing Ihe heroics for Schuyler.
Until iciuns threatened in the first overtime period, but it was A.I'.A. which
win it in the second overtime, with a touchdown with 22 seconds lelt. I he
»iniiing score was set up by Malone. who returned Ihe Schuyler,punt to the
.15. and then run the hall down lo the I yard line on Ihe next play. Seconds
later liiisherti ran il in.

Instead ol going up the middle, Herltizzi went wide to the open territory. If
thedelenderson the side went for John, the quarterback would pilch tile ball
Iu one ul his hall bucks. I lie halfback would have a blocker in front ol him to
block against one defender.I his happened repeatedly in the third quarter
against Curry, as both Orin Griffin and Glenn Sowalskie were sprung for
I D's or long gainers.
II the delense lails to pick up Berluzzi, John just continues wide. Curry
laded many times lo pick Berluzzi up and he just kept on going, becoming the
Danes leading ground gainer of the day.
Olicn the defending team will try to move another man into this area;
usually by sneaking a man up from the secondary to protect against the run.
II Berluzzi reads ihis. he will usually call the play action pass to Boh Baxter,
who is lelt uncovered as the result of the movement of men. This play has
been good lor a touchdown in almosicvcrygamc.
So because ol ihe complexity of the wishbone, it's just amalterol 'lime till
Albany gets moving. I he players
remained completely confident in
themselves, even when they were behind lor the first time all year. They knew
it would all come together in the third quarter.
Ithaca 11 Sets For Bowl Bid
(AP) Suddenly, only one game
stands between Ithaca College and
an undefeated season, the top ranking in the Bast, and a bowl bid.
The Bombers, 8-0, face Rochester

Butterficld has good reason to
believe it won't be his final game of

Ithaca protected its status as the

There was a country fair going on,

was together in our hopes for a food
showing. All were proud to be
Albany runners.
We decided to train together on a
golf course. A t we did, someone
suggested we go through a nearby
apple orchard. We agreed; what was
good for one was good for all. We
must have uppearedai gentle sprites
as we frolicked through the grove.

looked up and reached for one alio,
stepping in a hole. I went to the
nationals in a cast.
"Forget the team!" I thought. "A
runner's love for his sporl centered in
himself." I would gain fame, get my
picture in Ihe papers; become the
idol of millions of women.
I won my first race here at Albany.
This paper headlined that event:
"Reda Leads Stale to Win." Great, I
thought. There was even a picture.
Bui it was not a picture of me. It
was an old unfilled picture of some
rather unattractive Albany runner
finishing a race. He was almost bald.
He was gasping in pain. He had spit
all over his glasses.
A friend of mine told me he saw

Thin. Quarter Heroics Lead Danes Over Curry
by Mfce Plekanki
Thank God t o r the third quarter!!
D o w n 16-14 at the hall', the Albany
State football team exploded for 29 •
points in the third quarter to smash
Curry 50-23 for their seventh consecutive victory without a defeat.
After containing lorn DeBlois
and the Dune's famous wishbone
offense fairly well i n the first
half.C'urry was unable to control
Albany's O r i n Griffin and Glenn
Sowulskie at a l l in the second half.
Griffin scored three touchdowns
d o w n the h o m e stretch and
Sowalskie tallied the other two, as
each contributed an outstanding
game to the winning cause. Coach
Hob Eord was very pleased with the
50-point performance and remarked. ''Griffin and Sowalskie perlormed very well and our offensive
line did one hell o f a j o b ! " Asked
about Curry's lead at halflimc, l o r d

gain, then kept the hull himself and
ran the keeper around right end I or a
fantastic 62-yard touchdown. The
extru point was good and Albany led
7-0 alter the first quarter.
Curry looked very good but their
big scoring threat in the initial period
was snuffed out as hair threw just
about his only bud pass of the day:
an interception at the Dane one by
Don M i o n . Hut the second quarter
was a l l Curry, file Curry defense
forced Albany to punt time and
again their delense effectively shut

Bertuzzi was able to generate any
offense, as he picked up some big
yardage himself on his patented
"keeper play." A two-yard I'D dive
by Kosic Campbell, a 79-yard
kickoff return runbuck by Alan
Williams, and a 23-yard field goal by
C u r r y ' s Mike Shadduck offset
another Bertuzzi touchdown (four
yds.).and it was 16-14 at halflimc.
And then it happened! After the
Danes had the hall three plays, Griffin swept left for a touchdown. Then
Albany recovered a kick-off fumble
on the 32. Griffin aided by a key
block from

another touchdown. Cummings i n tercepted a Curry pass on the next

Curry's problem seemed to be a

half.

by Curry's quarterback', T o m l-'air.
" H e was probably the best quarterback w c \ e laced all year. He moved

Hut that was only in the first hall.
Curry hardly even touched the ball
in the second hall, as Albany turned
the game completely around.
It looked like it was going to bean

their second play, from scrimmage.

quarterback John Bertuzzi handed

The Dunes scored only once in the
fourth quarter, but it was academic
by that time. Orin Griffin's 71-yard
touchdown romp put the icing on the
cake and closed out the Albany scoring and u line rushing day. The
Dunes amassed 411 yards on the
ground compared to only 47 for the
losers. That, was the key statistic as
hair's 239-yard passing performance
(21 for 44) was just enough to stave
off the Danes. Surprisingly enough,
llerluzzi led all rushers with an
amazing 134 yards while Griffin
finished with I I 5 O I I only five carries.

PIRG Suit Fails
by Daniel Gaines
A n Albany County judge dismissed the S U N Y A P I R G (Public Interest
Research Group) suit last Friday, saying that Chancellor Boyer has the right
to refuse PIRG the right to solicit funds on students' bills.
The suit was brought by four S U N Y A students on behalf of the 5,000
students who signed petitions a year ago which asked that there be a $2.00
voluntary fee on the bill which would go to N Y P I R G , the state-wide group,
lo Hind consumer, environmental, and other'public interest research.
Ralph Nader has organized student-run P I R G groups in 23 states. Universities and colleges all across the slate presently belong to NYPI RCi, among
Ihem Skidnuirc. K P I . and S U N Y A .
While the judge affirmed the students'right to sue. he decided that he had
no right lo reverse the decision by S U N Y Central.
I lie rationale behind that decision was based on a view of NYPI RCi as a
"privalc" organization which is outside the University. SUNY Central also
explained llial il wasn't possible to use SUNY machinery which is Slate
machinery, l o collect even an optional fee l o r a private organization. SUNY
Central public relations head KussLiuglno. explained thai the decision didn't
concern the desirability of PIRG funding, but concerned ihc specific
proposal PIRG introduced.
PIRG at S U N Y A recicved funding as a Student Association group this
fall; President licnezcl approved that funding on October 25 after a seven
week delay. I h c Administration here was concerned about the effect on the
pending suit the SA funding would have. Benezet signed the Central Council
appropriation when Waller Relihan. Vice-Chanccllor ol Legal Affairs,
assu red Benezet thai the suit and the S A funding were separate issues and
ttutt the PIRG plan was within the Hoard of Trustees guidelines on use of
mandatory student lees. PI RCi had considered SA funding a temporary condition.
S U N Y A PI RCi Chairperson Arthur M . Malkin said that the research
group was "considering alternate methods of optional funding."
PI KG al S UN Y A is using the money from S A to fund their consumer projects; this includes buying legal and other services from NY PI KG. There is no
significant difference between the use of the money under the present system
and what would have been under a voluntary line on the student bill.
However, there would he more money from a line system.
