Go Melt Go Mel! Go Melt
These cries explain the mood of
Saturday's 10S-85 Albany victory
over Southern Connecticut. In the
remaining minutes of the contest it
was the State substitutes that won'
the applause of the crowd.
Doc Sauers removed his starting
Ave with four minutes remainingand
Albany ahead 91-65. lnthecourseof
the action, 5' 10" Mel Brown had the
entire gym on their feet cheering his
acrobatics. The "Mel Brown Show"
featured three consecutive baskets in
a distinguished style.
Brown began his antics after being
charged with a palming violation at
midcourt. He stood up, silently exploded, and cautiously bounced the
ball to the referee. Then he took his
revenge.
The Owls' Ray White hit a lay-up
and the inbound pass came to
Brown. He dribbled a la Marques
Haynes complete with a series of
bounces while lying on his back. Mel
then took off downcourt, stopped at
the foul-line and swished a jumper
through the cords.
Following a missed shot by the
Owls, Brown got the ball, and again
he raced the length of the court (this
time with conservative dribbling
techniques). The University Gym
audience was electrified with the
driving shot. Mel capped off the sequence by stealing the ensuing inbound pass at midcourt, racing to
the basket and hitting the layup.
The late minute heroics by Brown
overshadowed the excellent individual performance by Ed Johnson. The sophomore guard shot an
incredible 12-13 and finished with 28
points. As a team, Albany amassed
44 field goals, only four short of a
school record. The Danes' shooting
percentage was a torrid 59% while
the Owls' hit a respectable 43% of
their field goals.
When the game began, it seemed
as Albany would be victim to the
same problems that plagued them in.
recent contests. The Danes were facing a tough zone defense and were
forcing their shots from long range.
The much taller Connecticut squad
was moving on offense and finding
their forwards underneath for an
easy layup.
The Owls led 13-12 with 13:36
remaining in the first half when Doc
Sauers called time-out to change his
strategy.
Taller Owls
The taller Owl forwards were taking advantage of the Danes both
offensively and defensively. Sauers
decided to replace Gary Trevitt with.
Tom Morphis to help rebound.
Morphis was the key to this victory as he played flawless basketball
in the following four minutes. In this
period the Danes held the Owls
scoreless as they scored seventeen
points to attain a 29-13 lead. The
Owls couldn't regain their style of
play as the rest of thegame appeared
to be an intra-squad scrimmage.
Albany's largest lead in the contest
came in the second half with an K5-53
advantage.
The decline of the Owls was the
effective shooting of Albany State.
The /.one had to be disbanded in
favor of the man-to-man defense.
Then Albany used their quickness to
stifle Connecticut. The Owls committed many personal fouls out of
frustration. They couldn't cope with
the Dane fast break and quickly lost
confidence.
Tom Morphis was superb on
defense, blocking shots and grabbing rebounds. He and Pete Koola
did everything possible to intimidate
the larger Owl forwards. On offense,
Morphis went 3-4 with seven points,
Koola had 5-8 for twelve.
The most important statistic was
the turnover ratio as Southern Connecticut muffed 27 to only 17 by
Albany. Most of the Dane turnovers
came in the final four minutes as the
substitutes played sloppily.
The Dane starters Bob Audi and
Mike Suprunowicz added excellent
performances. Audi was noticeable
as he hustled on defense. The cornerman shot 5-7 for the evening with
twelve points. Suprunowicz. was all
over the court, challenging the opponents. He shot 7-12 and finished
next to high scorer Ed Johnson with
sixteen points.
Rich Kapner concluded the game
with twelve points and was a strong
point on defense. He grabbed loose
rebounds and acted as a floor leader
when Gary Trevitt was on the bench.
Although Trevitt did not score, he
played one of his finest games this
season. He took only five shots but
he passed off to his teammates for
easy layups as he controlled the ball.

Staff, Library Cut In Carey Budget
by Daniel Gaines
Eighteen positions, including five
faculty, would be eliminated at
SUNYA if the Legislature passes
Governor Hugh Carey's proposed
budget, released yesterday.
SUNYA's proposed budget increase of $1,476,000 represents
mostly mandated increases minus
about a half-million dollars in cuts.
Tuition and Hoard increases seem
unlikely.
Reductions include: Faculty and
staff (132,000), lower library acquisition rate (162,000),
and the expected elimination of the Solar
Energy Project ($192,000). a oneyear allocution, according to SASIJ.
Compared to other parts of the
State's budget, Carey's proposal for
SUNY is relatively generous.
SUNY Central announced lust
spring that SUNYA would have a
no-growth budget. Carey's budget is
consistanl with that attitude,
providing for increases in faculty
and students at Ihc other University
Centers but not SUNYA.
Vice-President for Management
and Planning, John Hartley, said he
was "very disappointed" but indicated that the allotments for
Albany were not unexpected.
One bright spot In the proposed
budget is thai il would give Albany
the lowest faculty-student ratio
among the developed state schools,
with 15.6/1. Last year SUNY A had
15.5/1 while Stony Brook had
15.3/1. Stony Brook now has
15.7/1.
SUNY had asked for an 87
million dollar increase in the statewide budget, which would have
brought the present 609 million to
700 million. Carey's proposal
supplies a 37.2 million dollar increase.
Certain student tuition waivers
will he eliminated SUNY wide. The
Civil Servant contract is not final
and is not included in this budget.
Money for this would come from
supplemental funds later.
Carey's budget would boost state
spending by nearly a billion dollars
and would be financed by increases
in income, business, liquor and other
taxes, including a ten-cent gasoline
tax.
Committee and Governor
May Ease Pot Penalties
by Edward Moscr
Campus heads may take some
pleasure in two current political
happenings, both of which have to
do with the possible elimination or
watering down of criminal penalties
for the use of marijuana.
First, the New York State
Assembly Committee on Codes
plans to hold open hearings to discuss the tough anti-drug laws passed
in 1973 under theguidaneeol former
Governor Rockleller. The Committee is a sort of watchdog on
legislation; from time to time il
reviews the effectiveness of laws
enacted in the past.
Secondly, Governor Hugh Carey
said Wednesday he was considering
the easing of penalties for marijuana
usage.
Witnesses at the Codes Committee hearings can be expected to
raise many questions as to the
Rockefeller legislation'sclTecton the
criminal justice system ilself. lake,
for example, the plea bargaining
aspect of the present law. Those
brought up on drug abuse charges
are severely limited as to the extent
in which they and their lawyers can
bargain lor more lenient sentences.
The result, some claim, has been that
alleged abusers stay in court to the
bitter end of their trials, and thus
flood the court system with extra
cases. Many also object to the
emphasis on a single class of crimes;
they fear that the unusually heavy
penalties slapped on drug offenders
distort the justice system.
The drug law's influence on society as a whole will also be studied.
Committee witnesses will try to find
out if harsher sentence;; deter drugrelated crimes, and If the enforcement of the law has been effective
enough in increasing the number of
arrests of drug pushers during the
last year.
It would also be interesting to
know whether the number of drug
addicts is decreasing and whether the
present law scares away those who
might provide information on illegal
narcotics deals.
Ill addition, there's little doubt
that some committee members
themselves will propose abolishing
penalties for the possession and use
of marijuana.
The N.Y. Times
reported Wednesday that Governor
Hugh Carey was "considering ihc
removal of criminal penalties for
possession ol small amounts ol marijuana." The Governor seemed to indicate that two panels he had appointed to study drug abuse were going to alter the 1973 law to a large
degree.
Last October, at a SASU conference during the race for the governorship, then candidate Carey said
thai if ihc suite legislature were to
pass a bill decriminalizing marijuana, he would sign the bill into law.
In regards to the time and place of
the Codes Committee hearings, in-

WSUA Forced Off the Air;
Equipment Breakdown Blamed
Above: Acting Station Manger Eric Goldstein complain that WSUA's
"transmitters are aged." Below: Former manager Pat McGlynn. He
believes a "near full-time" advisor could alleviate many of WSUA's
problems.
by I Jin id Winzelberg
I he campus radio station WSUA,
left the air last Friday due to
malfunctioning equipment.
The station has been broadcasting
with dated equipment needing frequent repair for some lime. Eric
Goldstein, who has been wilh
WSUA fur a year and a half (becoming Acting Station Manager just a
lew days ago), said: "Our
transmitters are aged, it's difficult to
keep them on the air." Goldstein
feels that repairs will be made soon
and that Ihc station will resume
broadcasting in "ten (lays to two
weeks".
The problems of the station stem
from the eosi of the repairs needed
on each transmitter in order to
restore a good signal lo all live
quuds. Pat McGlynn, Goldstein's
predecessorus Station Manager, explains that the transmitters are
"highly complex equipment" requiring experienced engineers to repair
them properly; however, the cost ol
hiring professional niainlcnunce for
t h c equipment is prohibitive.
McGlynn explained: "'The cost for
gelling the live transmitters working
with a good signal would probably
exceed ilia station's present budgci."
McGlynn, retired Station
Manager as of this week believes lhat
Ihe station could alleviate many of
ils problems under a different
system. He favors ihc addition of "a
near full-time faculty advisor with
station experience or a professional
station manager" to help the existing
student staff.
Although each year there is an
abundance of volunteers for WSUA,
a kind of apathy seems to have
developed among some of the
station's stall as well as ils audience.
I he apathy is largely a result of the
station's failure so far to land their
elusive FM license. Joel I-eld, the
station's Program Director,believes
lhat "die chances are much improved" to gel the license. WSUA is
considering hiring Educational FM
Associates, a firm which aids radio
stations in getting their l-'M licenses.
Last year ihe same firm helped the
slalion at Union College go FM.
Since leaving Ihe air last week,
there have been questions raised
concerning ihe future of ihc station.
Student Association Vice-President
Ira Bimbaum said, "CcmralCouncil
should use careful consideration
before continuing ihe operation of
ihe station. It seems to me lhat many
people in this University don't care
about the station, one way or the
uiher." Some Central Council
proposals are lo move WSUA offcampus, operale Ihe slalion on a
reduced budget or to form a committee to run it.
Some station workers claim there
has been administrative fool dragging in regard to the I'M license.They'
say that their FM application is
slow-moving because il has been tied
up in bureaucratic red tape, and
should be given ihc lull attention il
deserves.
Nevertheless, current staljpn.
staffers are mcelinglhis week to stick
the injured station back together.

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) President AnwarSadat'sdiolomacv.while it allows
a bit of the nerve-shattering tension to ooze from the chronic Middle East
crisis, may now generate severe pressure on brael.
The Egyptian leader's visit to Paris and his steady flow of pronouncements
recently have created the impression that he was sending Israel a signal.
The message: If a war is to be averted in the spring, the next significant
move is up to the Israelis,
The logic of peace as a necessity for Egypt long has been abundantly
obvious. Sadat's government, perennially and expensively girded for war,
might have great difficulty staying afloat in turbulent seas of domestic crises

by Naomi Friedlander
She jumped on stage, black boots
accenting the checkered cap
decorated with buttons which read,
"Stop Sucking, Start Bitinl" and
"Attica is All of Us." In a rich, husky
voice that would have distinguished
any choir, this woman suggested,
"Let's start with a serenade,"
And we did.
Florynce Kennedy, founder of the
National Organization for Women
(N.O.W.) and a leading
spokeswoman for the feminist and
black movements, opened her lecture Monday night with a selection
of songs. The lyrics denounced
minority suppression while clamoring for change.
The third song, sung to the tuneof
"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,"
stirred the largely female audience.
The group first joined in timidly,
then with stronger, emotion-filled
voices.
"(Sod damn you men) gentlemen,
You malesof wealthy class, Yousold
us false prosperity and left us on our
ass; You sold us overpowered cars
and now we're out of Gas; So it's our
turn to useour energy, Kicking Your
Ass. We will lake your name and
then we'll Kick Your Ass."
With the close of each song, Ms.
Kennedy demanded, "Give 'em the
fist," and by the final song, thegroup
had responded accordingly, fists
clenched in the power symbol.
"1 think we arc going to be rising
and fighting again because our cups
are getting pretty full," Ms. Kennedy
predicted. "I want us not to survive,
but to thrive." A graduate of Columbia Law School, the women's leader
began her lecture discussing the recent anti-bussing march held in
Boston, labor layoffs, and the
media's "racist and sexist"attitudes.
She urged student entrance into
politics. "One of the things we think
is that if we gel into politics, we have
to be prepared to die. We should not
get ready to die but we ought to hide

is my advice as an attorney not to advise 'them' of your guilt."
Ms. Kennedy, criticizing the
"reniggeri/.ation" of American
workers, talked of the current definition of middle class. "Middle class in

welfare. Middle class can mean sending your child to a stale-supported

school instead of a state-supported
penitentiary." Explaining that most
of America is in debt, thclawycr said
that if workers continue to lose their
jobs, the middle class, whatever it is,
will be rcniggerized. To combat this,
Ms. Kennedy called for the coalition
of blacks, feminists, and all
vulnerable groups.
The leader revealed that the
protest movement had not simmered
down. "It's not like the sixties but it's
belter 'cause people have their shit
together. People are not out in the
streets but in the suites. Anil having
someone on the inside is a very good
thing." Ms. Kennedy staled that you
don't have to be in the streets to be
effective when activists are working
through powerful offices or among
influential people. The feminist advised S.U.N.Y.A. women to strive
for political offices while supporting
the current feminist politicians in office.
"Truth is so rare in this society
that it comes out comedy. Anyone
who tells the truth is a comedian and
thai shouldn't be." Ms. Kennedy
urged students to embarrass this
country, to challenge Congressional
budgets and the legality of unelccted
officials, like President Ford and
Vice-President Rockefeller, holding
office. "It's just fun lo watch these
people squirm," she said.
Turning away from national
problems, Ms. Kennedy focused on
S.U.N.Y.A. difficulties. Discussing
the funding issue of E.O.I'.S.A. and
the tiny, cramped campus women's
center, the feminist exclaimed, "I
want these things straightened out
and 1 want them straightened out
fast. Now 1 want to see a women's
center on this campus. 1 really do."
The leader promised to return in the
spring, "for free," and assist in instituting change, if the students did
not resolve their problems
themselves.
Discussing education, Ms.
Kennedy criticized the country's
allocation of funds. "Wecan'tafford
$22 billion for supersonic bombers
when people can't get through
school. We can't afford il. The leader
called for a protest against Congressional budget's."
Involvement is the key, the
feminist asserted. Students must
push their way into electoral and
media arenas, raising their voices until they are heard. "If they tell you
thai you're not ready, you just say.
' Ready or not, here we come.'"

M ichael Sakoff, who is a junior at
SUNYA, was in Washington during
the Mayday demonstrations and was
arrested near the Capitol steps on
May 5, 1971. Sakoff has contacted
the ACLU office and is waiting to
hear if he is entitled to a share of the
award. If his name appears on the
suit he could receive in the
neighborhood of $10,000 (the
amount varies according to the
length of confinement). Sakoff said
he was held for 24 hours. "I was one
of the few released that early." he
added.
Sakoff easily recalls what happened in Washington nearly four years
ago. After being taken to the
stadium he remembers, "we were
told our Constitutional rights were
being revoked." Following that the
arrested demonstrators had their
pictures and fingerprints taken. The
whole time Sakoff was imprisoned in
the bullpen of the stadium he was not
notified once of the charges against
him. "We weren't told anything,"
Sakoff recalls, "just told to shut up."
When the May 1971 mass arrests
were made, former President
Richard Nixon praised the action of
the Washington police. Nixon called
charges that the arrests were unconstitutional "exaggerated."
Mistreatment Remembered
The SUNYA junior also clearly
r e m e m b e r s the mistreatment
d i r e c t e d a t many of the
demonstrators while being confined.
"Many were roughed up quite abit,
but not me" Sakoff recalled. He said
that some were "kicked, beaten, and
other nasty things" and the police
refused requests to have their injuries attended to by a doctor.
The /fSPcontacted the ACLU office in Washington and was told,
"Many people are calling and
writing" to inquire about whether
they are entitled to the award. They
noted that all demonstrators who
were arrested during the D.C. Mayday demonstrations between May 36 of 1971 should contact the ACLU
since there are "other suils pending"
concerning the mass arrests.
It's doubtful at this time whether
any money will be distributed for
quite some time since it is expected
that the Districtof Columbia will file
an appeal. According to the ACLU
office, from the lime of the court
Jecision there are 90 days to file an
appeal.

Central Council met from 7:30-12:15 Wednesday evening in the Campus Center Assembly Hall. At
the first Roll Call vote there were 25 members present.
BILLS PASSED: Cancerous Classes (introduced by Seth Haber): This bill which was postponed
following a relatively long debate before vacation, urges that the University Senate legislate that smoking policies in classes be determined by students and teachers on the first day of classes. It's based on the
idea that if a student wants to smoke in class he; she has that right, but it shouldn't interfere with those
who wish lo breathe smoke-free air.
Endorsement of National Student Conference against Racism in Boston (Candi Mayer): This bill will
serve as publicity for the upcoming conference on Feb. 14-16 at Boston University. The subject - next
steps to be taken in the fight for equal education in Boston.
General Concerns 1975-76 (Pat Curran): These concerns will serve as the Budget Committee's
guidelines lor next year. Among the 15 concerns: Guidelines for the basis of funding groups: all groups' .
names will relied their purpose/members; lhat tax cards be made available to all faculty and staff and .
active Alumni: and all events and services maintain a tax differential.
Emergency Spending Account (Pal Curran): This bill moved $15,000 more into the ESA so thai this
sum can be spent this year rather than saving il for next year. Reasoning students paid their tax and
their money should be spent on them now.
Also Passed: Two resolutions supported by SASU. one requesting the Chancellor's Committee to
recommend that the FSA Board of Directors be composed ofa maximum of one-third administration,
one-third students, and the remaining third be students and faculty with at least one faculty member.
This would insure sufficient student representation on the Board. The other bill would endorse the
right ol students only to control the spending of the money from mandatory tax. Presently there exist •
guidelines on how this money can be spent, sel up by the Board of Trustees.

Demonstrating against wars was
probably never considered a money
making venture but that idea may
have to change. A Washington, D.C.
court recently awarded 12 million
dollars in damages to some 1,200
anti-war demonstrators.
The January 16 court rulingstems
from a law suit filed by the American
Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) who
represented the demonstrator's interests. The ACLU charged that the
arrest of demonstrators on the
Capitol steps during the Mayday activities of 1971 was in violation of
various Constitutional rights. The
1,200 demonstrators who were
arrested while listening to a speech
by Democratic Representative
Ronald V, Dellums of California
had their legal rights to free speech
and assembly violated in addition to
being falsely arrested and imprisoned. Representative Dellums
was himself awarded $7,500 because
his freedom of speech was deprived
when the demonstrators were
arrested and taken away by D.C.
police.

Indian Quad's Henwayi, once
renowned for owning "the longest
bar in Albany", hat now been converted into a recreation center that
will be open to Indian Quad
residents sometime next week, announced Quad Board President
Mike Meyer and Recreation Committee Chairperson Mark "the
Shark" Haft
The date of the "grand opening"
was originally scheduled for
February 6 but is subject to change, a
Board spokesman said.
As it stands now, the recreation
committee foresees the center being
available for use on weekday nights.
However, Recreation Committee
Vice-Chairperson Dara Frandina
said the committee will set the exact
times for the center's IUSC when they
finish tabulating questionnaires
which are now being"ciistribuled to
each quad resident. The questionnaires will allow the students to
decide for themselves what times are
most preferable for them. This sur-
vey will satisfy one of the center's
main objectives of being "student
oriented", said Shark.
• The furnishings in the rec center as
of this moment include three pingpong tables, one pool table, benches,
chairs, and card tables. More tables
are being ordered, Meyer stated, to
replace the old seats which suffered
extensive, if not irreparable,
damage.
The center will also include
numerous board games featuring
such notables as "Paddle-Pong",
"Air Hockey", bingo, chess, and
checkers. "Nerf" games, dart boards,
and "Twister" games will also be
available, added Miss Frandina.
In addition to providing the IQ
residents with a place to relax and
unwind, Committee Chairperson
Shark said the center would "give
people a chance to meet new people," which he feels is an important
part of the total University experience. He went on to say, "The
center is run by the IQ Recreation
Committee and by volunteers. But I
can't emphasize the importance of
these volunteers enough; we
desperately need them' to run this
things"
Asked if Henways would now be
unavailable for parties which it
hosted last year, Board President
Meyer said, "We probably will have
fewer large-scale parties there, but
since the equipment is movable, the
possibilities still exist."
The Recreation Committee wished to thank all those people who
came down last Saturday to help
clean Henways up. Shark had particularly kind words for Miss Frandina of whom he said, "Her extreme
enthusiasm and valuable assistance
in this endeavor made the whole
thing possible!"
The idea for a recreation area is
credited to Meyer, but the idea for
student use of Henways is not new.
Three years ago, the residents of "4plus-2" (Oneida and Onondaga)
came up with the notion of usingit as
a place where they could go to relax
instead of going off-campus. Even-
tually its fabled barwas constructed,
and when the Faculty Student
Association began to sponsor activities, Henways became a popular
campus landmark.
Tom Daley, Indian Quad Dorm
Director, explained that FSA put up
the money to pay for beer and
whatever was needed in an attempt
to gain a profit but always dictated
what activities the students wanted.
After heavy losses of approximately
$3,000 in "72-73 and $6,000 the
following year, FSA turned
Henways over to the Indian Quad
Board earlier this year.
The Ends Don't Justify the Means
(ZNS) A Knoxville, Tennessee, man has received a six-month suspended
jail sentence for being in such a hurry to use the bathroom that he Tired five
pistol shots through a locked door. ;
As Woodrow Harvey unloaded his pistol into the door, his son-in-law who was inside-was forced to scramble for safety out a window.
The 58-year-old Harvey told the court: "I was just trying to shooi the
bathroom door open. It was locked and I had to get in there."
Judge Jewell Watson, who handed down the six-month sentence on simple
assault, told Harvey, "I advise you to get an extra key to the bathroom soyou
won't have to shoot your way in when you have to go."

Started in 1970 as Crisis 5300,.
Middle Earth is SUNY at Albany's
hotline for people with problems.
From its humble beginnings in a
closet of the Campus. Center trying
to help students who were experimenting with drugs, Middle
Earth, funded by the New York
State Drug Abuse Control Commission, has grown into a vital part of
this University.
Middle Earth now has two offices
on Dutch Quad. The switchboard
and walk-in centcrare housed in Ten
Eyck 107. Administrative offices and
counseling rooms are in 102
Schuyler Hall.
When it first began, Crisis 5300
concentrated its efforts on answering
questions on drug use.' As people
became more knowledgeable about
drugs and as it grew Middle Earth
was able to diversify its services.
Middle Earth operators now deal
with r e l a t i o n s h i p problems,
loneliness, suicide cases, and give information on pregnancy. They also
do pill identification and many other
things.
The frequency and distribution of
calls varies but relationship,
problemsare prevalent on weekends.
During the week there are more calls
from people seeking information.
Middle Earth phones arc
answered by undergraduate
volunteers. The Middle Earth
operators are a diverse group of
about forty students. There is no
such thing as the typical volunteer.
They all. want to help their fellow
students and all have certain
qualities such as openness and the
ability to empathize with others.
Applicants are screened by a committee and those chosen undergo a
training program before they are
allowed to answer phones. The first
stage of training is a weekend held at
the beginning of each semester. The
training is designed to bring up and
refine those qualities which the person already has and to build up their
self-confidence. It also teaches
volunteers to - recognize those
problems that they cannot handle as
non-professionals and how to refer
these callers to others.
New volunteers now learn the
ropes by sitting shifts with experienced operators. Even after they
become full operators volunteers attend monthly clinics and arc subject
to rc-cvaluation at any time. This is
done in order to insure that Middle
Earth is always doing the best
possible job.
Volunteers arc also kept informed
of activities within Middle Earth by

Fat of the Land
Governor Carey h a t released h i t Executive Budget for the next fiscal year, and, a s
promised, everyone suffers. D e s p i t e the total absolute increase t o 10.6 billion dollars,
18 offices arid c o m m i s s i o n s h a v e been abolished a n d others have had their budgets
reduced a n d their functions incorporated i n t o larger, m o r e efficient programs. • .
S U N Y is in for s o m e hard times ahead. T h o u g h it h a s received a $37.2 million j u m p
f r o m last year's appropriation, t h e increase, a s Carey said in his budget message "will
o n l y meet fixed c o s t s a s mandated salaries a n d higher prices for, supplies and
materials." Striking t h e death toll, he said, "Carefully planned reductions will enable
t h e University t o offset' completely the a d d e d e x p e n s e of larger enrollments and other
workload increases a s those occasioned by the o p e n i n g of n e v buildings and expanded
services..."
D o u b t s have been removed. If S U N Y Central a n d Albany's o w n administrations
h a v e been a b l e t o hide behind t h e previously unpublished budget t o avoid committing
themselves o n proposed tuition and r o o m hikes, they c a n d o s o n o longer. T h e numbers
are available, and t h e y are sobering. S U N Y has been living off the fat of the land for
sixteen Rockefeller years. If c u t s have t o be m a d e , and it appears they must, the
Administration must l o o k within itself t o trim the excess. T h e place for reductions is
n o t only in student services, a n d not only in firing m o r e qualified teachers through the
denial o f tenure. T h e p l a c e for the reductions is not o n l y through adding t o class size or
increasing teachers' class loads. T h e place to reduce the waste is also within the
Administration.
Students alone c a n n o t bear the load of an increase in board or r o o m rates, no more
than t h e average h o m e o w n e r could absorb the costs of higher property taxes. The
Governor understood this w h e n he modified his ten cent g a s tax hike, and S U N Y
Central should be aware o f this as well. A reduction in the quality of higher education is
not the sole answer t o deal with the serious problems that the S U N Y system faces,
though it m a y b e the most expedient,
It w o u l d be unfair and unwise for Central Administration to expect i indents and
faculty to shoulder t h e burden without a similar sacrifice on its part. A tuition, room or
board hike n o w w o u l d show poor judgment by S U N Y's leaders.

Not Our War
Like a recurring nightmare, the spectre of Vietnam has reared its ugly head in this
country again. T w o years after America breathed a unanimous sigh of belated relief
with the signing of t h e Vietnam peace accord, President Ford has asked the Congress
for a n appropriation totalling nearly a half a billion dollars in military aid to the
beseiged Theiu government. A l m o s t as if history were repeating itself to the most
m i n u t e detail, the Ford request brings with it the promise that there will be no others,
that w e will not be dragged into the conflict, but that we must aid our allies under
attack from the C o m m u n i s t North.
There could be n o m o r e o d i o u s action taken than for Ford's request to be granted.
S l o w l y , like slipping in quicksand, the United States will find itself in precisely the same
position w e were in twenty years a g o , w h e n President Eisenhower started us on our
path t o international disgrace.
W e have already supplied the South with $150 billion in the most advanced military
death machines the Pentagon could devise. Saigon has what is reputed to be the fourth
largest air force in t h e world. By n o w , Americans should know only t o o well that the
South V i e t n a m e s e a r e simply incapable of fighting their own war, that initial American
aid will have to be followed by more and more aid, then with troops, then with
bombers, and we will b e embroiled in a conflict that 2 0 0 million citizens said we would
never be involved with again.
H o w long c a n a foreign country prop up a military government when its own
military, the only citizens even remotely loyal to it, won't defend their o w n homes? It's a
cry heard t o o many times before: ii is not the j o b of the United States to bolster regimes
that m a k e no pretense of being democratic.
W e have supported D i e m , the innumerable failures after him, Ky and finally Theiu.
T h e o l d cold warrior chants for "containment" will fall o n deaf ears now, ears beaten
into numbness by t h e tragic deaths of 50,000 m e n in the rice paddies of Asia.
It's not our war anymore,

Large Wire Tapping Force

W A S M N G T O N - W h o can legally tap
your telephone without a court order? A.) the
F.B.I., B.) your wife or husband, C.) the
telephone company, D.) the Pope, E.)
nobody.
Answer: C.) the telephone company.
Under a little-known provision of the
federal statutes, the Bell Telephone Co. can
tap your line, and they don't have to say boo
about it lo anybody. The only condition: they
must suspect that you are perpetrating fraud

spoke freely about almost anything.
A muscular inmate from Brooklyn
and I spent a while discussing parts
of our home borough. This guy
would be my "homy" if I were a
fellow prisoner. "Homies," or inmates from the same city or town are '
usually friends. He had plenty of
homies since most of Coxsackie's
population is from New York City.
However, friends in prison are never
very close,
I told him that I used to take the
LL train to work in Maspeth, which
is on the Brooklyn-Queens border
near where he lived. The LL train
was the reason why he was in prison.
He held up a token booth at an LL
station. His accomplice, a younger
male, was apprehended and convinced to implicate him. This story
was told with no signs of bitterness.
Great pride was taken in the fact that
he was never caught in the act. He
has resolved never to use an accomplice again.
Baby-Silling Operation
By my third week of tutoring, I
had had enough of tapping inmates
on the shoulder and yelling at their
headphoncd visages, "Do you need
any help?" I talked the Director of
Educational Facilities into letting
me assist an English teacher who
taught High School Equivalency
and Regents classes. Through him
and through my own observations it
became clear to me that Coxsackie
was a big baby-sitting operation. It's
a numbers game, where as longas inmates are not in their cells but are accounted for, everything is all right.
Most inmates don't care to learn, so
the teachers have to spend most of
their time keeping them in line. At a
prison things arc very different from
a regular school since a prisoner
doesn't care about threats meant to
instill discipline.
From the fourth week on, I felt as
comfortable as I could feel in a
prison. I felt as if I had been totally
assimiliated i nto the situation when I
was busy. As soon as I had a moment
to think about where I was, I became
a bit self-conscious, as if 1 was an intruder. Meanwhile, my ability to get
ideas across to inmates was improving. Even though I was an
English tutor, sometimes I Was asked
to teach math. After spending an
hour helping one guy add two-digit
numbers I was left with a feeling of
satisfaction. It didn't matter that he
had blamed me for all his
mathematical errors; he was able to
do some addition when he left me.
No More Accomplices
After it became evident to me that
1 wasn't going to teach much, conversations with inmates became important. The fact that I was a
volunteer was known to them and it
made u difference in the way they
reacted towards me. Inmates that 1
saw every week said that they looked
forward to my visits. Having them
say it was good rapping with me was
a hell of a lot more rewarding than
showing them where to place commas in a sentence.
A friendship was begun in the
Learning Lab when I helped an inmate, who was once a resident of
Troy, figure out coordinates on u
line. Later on I discovered he had
been tukinga lest. We both moved to
High School Equivalency classes at
about (he same time. Each week our
discussions became more personal.
First he spoke about the poorly
planned robbery which he didn't get
away with. Hs was paroled, acquiring a job and a girlfriend while
buck in Troy. A second robbery with
an identical result followed. Very
seriously, he expressed a desire to be
a professional mimic. I knew from
him that he was having trouble
tolerating prison life so I thought
this was a false hope he had forced
himself to believe. While he
demonstrated a true talent for impersonations and an honest belief
that a show business career is possible for him, he didn't try to create a
direction in life for himself and allow
himself to act out his life in an unthinking, instinctual manner. This
genuinely friendly young man will
probably compile a long police
record interspersed with larceny
convictions since he just goes back to
his old ways without trying to effect
a change.
This man is not unlike many convicts in that he relumed to unlawful
activities upon being released from
prison. The return rale for parolees
is over 60% and this figure docs not
include parolees arrested in another
state.
Can't Hack Prison
Although I had a number of experiences at Coxsackie which will
always evoke a good feeling when I
think of them, my overall impression
is dampened by the fact that these
men are no older than lam and some
are no more of a criminal than you
and your fellow students. I thought
of this on my last day there, feeling
that I was leaving friends behind
who needed to speak to me. And
then us the last class ended, the little
guy who often bugged out. either
ranting and raving or going into a
trance, fell out and couldn't be roused. Hcwusburelyawareofunything
as he was carried out by two guards.
He's still there, and so are the rest of
them who can't hack prison, but the
rehabilitation process goes on.

Analysis of "A Major" Concert

by ElakMh Maicari

Form: • Marathon in one continuous movement scored for piano,

chorus, television camera and
lights.. .The piece began at 2:00 PM
and lasted until 11:00 PM with a two
hour intermission.
became popularized as well as expressive, Hence, one associates
Mozart with a rational purity
straddling an expressive tapestry of
musical ideas.
Exposition:
Theme. I (The
Performance)-The performance
was, for the most part, on a high level
of musicianship. All thirty-five performers, from all areasof the university, gave an extremely spirited
presentation of chamber, solo
(instrumental and vocal) and choral
works.
Bridge Theme: "Marathon"Something (as an event or activity)
characterized by great length or concentrated effort. (Webster's New
Collegiate Dictionary)
Theme II: (The ' Marathon)
Mozart's music filled the Recital
Hall for seven enticing hours. During this time, the audience was able
-to hear the most characteristic
chamber works by the great classical
master.

Mozart's
phenomenal genius was illuminated
by the vibrant performances of the
music department. It was often difficult to differentiate between the
faculty's and the student's performances, as they consistently remained laudable. Each "section" of the
marathon (there were 22 in total)existed as both a distinct composition
as well as an integral part of the
musical experience. Although the
compositions for piano were diverse,

pride and joy of his father, Leopold,
composed and performed from an
extraordinarily young age. As he
progressed as a composer, the formality, typical of eighteenth century
classicism, emerged as a significant
direction in his music. The arts
the lack of a full orchestral ensemble
detracted from the total realization
of Mozart's artistic scope. One anticipated the Quartets and Octets as
they broke the lyrical, but oftimes
limiting, "songs" of the piano and
violin.
Recapitulation: Mozart's music,
universal as it is, attracted an
audience from all "walks of life".
Amazingly, his music, without explanation, can communicate a'widc
variety of emotions, moods and expressions. It is a tribute to the performers that these "intangibles",
which music provides in its own
special way, never ceased emanating
from the Recital Hall stage.
Cadenza: Music, as all forms of
"reality", is interpreted by the individual solely on his perspective of
the experience. . Persons having
different backgrounds in "classical"
music will not approach it on the
same level. The more one "knows"'
about the music (e.g. era, biography,
harmonic motion, form, etc.) the
greater the perspective, and consequently, the more rewarding the cx-
perience. The concert could have |
been improved immensely if the
audience had been offered the opportunity to gain a fuller perspective
of Mozart's music. By this we mean
that some explanatory notes included in the program might have been
an invaluable aid to the laymen in
the audience. Although the music
conveyed those "intangibles"
without the aid of so-called
"program notes", it appeared evident that the more educated listener
might have derived greater pleasure
from the^music than those with untrained ears or minds.
Coda: It was fairly apparent that
each performer, without exception
had full command of his particular
section. Findlay Cockrell. on the
other hand, had full control ol
almost every section. Performing in
virtually half the marathon, he. in
addition, accompanied performers,
moved chairs, pianos and acted as
Master of Ceremony for the entire
seven hour work. It is a credit to him
and all the performers thai the
marathon was indeed a success.

Stronger than Buck Kodgcrs,

leap over the carillon tower in a
single hound. Captain Marvel made
his debut on campus last Friday
night. This semester, for the first
time ever on the SUNYA campus a
serial, "The Adventure of Captain
Marvel," will be shown in its original
weekly format.
In search of ways to broaden its
scope and provide thcSUNY A community with an alternative filmic experience, the International Film
Group has turned to the serial. The
bulk of the sound serials were
produced in the late 30's and 40's.
Long before the advent of television,
the serial provided a form of continuing weekly entertainment. Each
chapter of the serial would be shown
on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon,
prior to the matinee feature. Cliff
hanging endings, excitement and
lots of action assured continued
attendance. Certainly many kids of
the day feared the threat of no serial
this week more than they feared being sent to bed without dinner.
Sound serials wereproduced from
the advent of sound film, up until the
mid 5()'s, when they died out, killed
by television. The bulk of the serials,
and most of the best serials, were
produced in a fifteen year period
from 1935 to 1950. Virtually every
movie company was involved in the
production of serials, hut the leaders
in the field were Republic and Universal.
Every field of human endeavor
that could be in the slightest way
adventurous or mysterious was
serialized. The majority of the serials
were based on about five themes:
Westerns. African, super hero, crime
busier, and spacemen. During this
time virtually all comic book and
pulp heroes and villains were
serialized. The lost includes Superman. Batman and Rubin. Captain
America, Captain Marvel, The
Green Hornet, the Phantom, the
Shadow, Mandrake the Magician.

No lesser authority than the distinguished British scholar C M .
Bowra remarked that the ancient
Greeks valued nothing more highly
in their own traditions than freedom.
By "freedom" they would have
meant being free both from domestic
tyrants and from foreign oppressors.
In his Histories Herodotus, not an
Athenian, expressed the ideal of
freedom thus:
"The Athenians increased in
strength continually and proved
what a noble thing freedom is not
only In one respect but in all. While
they were governed by tyrants they
were no better in war than any of
their neighbors, but when they were
freed of their tyrants they became by
far the best."
The Oreeks's victories over the
Persians, in spile of overwhelming
odds, at Marathon (490 B.C.),
Salamis (480 B.C.), and Plalaca (479
B.C.) and even mine the courageous
stand of l.conidasand his small band
of lighters at Thermopylae (48(1
B.C.) will always be beacons of
freedom. "The whole earth is the
memorial of famous men." says
Pericles in his Funeral Oration.

think it is the real goal of any contemporary musician in Europe."
Urbaniak's European roots are in
evidence ' o n pieces such as
"Mazurka", where he provides the
traditional Polish folk dance with a
jazz interpretation and instrumentation. He's chosen an excellent
rhythm section, and even though
there have been some changes in the
line-up since the album was cut, sellout crowds at Mux's and the Bottom
Line confirm that the originality,
tightness, and magic of the album
have not been lost.
The most remarkable and unique
aspect of Michal's music Is thcamazing voice of his wife. Ilrszula Dudziak. With no lyrics on the album,
she utilizes her voice as an instrument, an amazingly versatile instrument. With the aid of a few electronic devices, she soars and slides
with the music, making ATMA and Fusion so much more than
simply another addition into the
jazz rock field.
./IM/ A Hoy - (Leo Snyer) lo the
contemporary audiophile. it may
appear that the record companies
are reaching, or base reached, a
saturation point; there is^tn excess of
records being produced. In many instances, the sole reason lor a recording is makinga fust buck. However,
in doing so, artists often disenfranehize themselves from the
audience. Initially. Leo Snyer was
just another singer songwriter hopping on the musical money-goround, bui with the release of the
album, JIISI A Buy, Saver conveys,
to the listener, a sincere desire lo
create good music.
Lyrically, Sayer's songs are a cut
above today's standard fare (like
Carole King, Laura Nyro. he wrote
for other artists before deciding to
sing his own material) filled with
more than just rhetorical trash.
Credit for the musical side of the
album must go to David Courtney,
who sets Sayer's words to song und
adds a little piano on several cuts.
Why, then, hasn't Leo Sayermadc
ii big? As one of many aspiring
singers on the music scene today,
Leo Sayer has shown the ability to
perform his songs well, as in the
songs "Hells of St. Mary" or "Just A
Boy". Unfortunately, Leo has not
fully reached the level of consistency
that arrives with experience and is so
essential lo success. When he loses
control, Sayer's voice enters the
cacophonous realm of the obnoxious, as on the song "Train," that
cannot fail to irritate the listener. But
when he shines, Sayer can produce
gentle, flowing vocals. He definitely
shows promise. Some day he'll have
a fantastic greatest hits album, but
until then, unless he learns to keep a
tighter rein on his work he'll be
limited to sporadic outbursts like
Jusl A Boy.

For all man's goals, still life will pass

A timepiece, life—1 understand—
Human values made of sand,

of ships set sail for others' pain.
Slowly I shall realize
I'm my lone friend beneath these skies

Alone—no one to take in hand —
I'll ponder values made of sand.

Financing Segregation
(He'll appreciate it)
albany, new york, usa
What is it that our $60,000 buys? I believe
that it buys forced segregation. We send each
ethnic group off to their "corner" and in doing
so suggest that cooperation amongst us all is
unnecessary.
It buys us support of the concept of the
hyphenated-American. 1 do not think that we
can any longer afford to beJudeo-Americans,
Italo-Americans, Afro-Americans, Irish[ Americans and so on. All of this fragments us.
Our student government is spending your
money in such a way as to draw attention to
those things which draw us apart rather than
to those that bring us together.
One point where I feel Mi. Kennedy is
wrong and my reason for writing item from
the confusion she left me with over the Fred
Stokelin-Carpet incident. I remember having
read an article about this in the ASP.but her
version, if one can call it that, seemed quite
different. 1 went up to the ASP after the
lecture and one of the staff found for me the
issue 1 needed.
On Friday November 22,1974, the headline
to the ,4S/>was "S A Pulls Rug from EOPS A."
Brent Kigner went on to write, and I quote:
"Central Council decided Wednesday night
(Nov. 20) to hold Fred Stokelin responsible
for $630 worth of carpet installed in EOPSA's
Campus Center office, to cancel EOPSA's
order for drapes, and to unfreeze EOPSA's
budget. . . frozen last Friday by the
Executive Branch since no SA official had.
signed the voucher this is in accordance with
Finance Policy."
The article goes on further to say that all
SA-funded activities must have purchases
approved by the President, Vice-President, or
Comptroller. The purchase order for the
carpeting and drupes was signed only by
Stokelin, the EOPSA president, in violation
of Finance Policy. Central Council, by a vote
of 18 to 5 with one abstention, rejected a
proposal that SA provide the funds for the
carpeting which was installed and could not be
returned. Stokelin and the EOPSA claim that
their budget shouldn't be overseen, that the
"white, middle class" Central Council doesn't
understand their needs, and is in no position to
approve expenditures! In other
words,
EOPSA is contending that, at a time when
money is so tight, drapes and carpeting can be:
I) utilized by; 2) enjoyed by; or 3)a benefit to
(7), so rew-namely the EOPSA staff—that
this purchase is an insult to the EOPSA
purpose of providing " . . . relevant activities
with the social cultural.and educational needs
of minority students in mind." (Viewpoints 7475, p. 109.)
In her presentation, Kennedy was ignorant
of or cleverly avoided the facts 1 have
presented above. To her it seemed a racial
issue and she vowed to come back to SUNYA
to demonstrateand "cause trouble" in her own
words, if the SA doesn't foot Freddy's bill.
Florynce Kennedy doesn't sec it as it should be
seen—a case where someone overstepped his
limits and must pay for it because he was
caught and was wrong. Jerry Albrect, the

spent on minorities, only a better way to spend
it.
Unfortunately, Central Council persists in
its attitude of "if we give them what they want,
maybe they will leave us alone." That's a copout. Problems don't just vanish. They must be
solved. 1 believe that Central Council erred in
continuing to fund forced segregation.
Council erred in continuing to fund nativism.

To the Editor:
On Monday night, 1 attended the Florynce
Kennedy lecture. In her presentation, I found
a number of points which merit support or at
least consideration. These points include: I)
increasing government aid to education, to be
provided by a corresponding cut in the
Pentagon's massive budget; 2) a special
election to determine the validity of our two
highest, but unelectcd officials; 3) equal

Bias in the Bathroom
To the Editor:
At the risk of being a nit-picker, I must note
my annoyance at an article in your last issue,
which, through selective observations, distorts
reality. The culprit it Toilet Talk, or rather the
accompanying seven inch square graphic
depicting "racist graffitti found by the
author."
Indeed they were racist - I counted four
'nigger's - but I question why the author
focused so much attention on them.
Nature's, call has had mc inspecting my
share of publfc toilets at SUNYA, and I've
found racial graffitti to be quite rare. The vast
majority of the scriptures are simply funny.
No heavy political statements, no genocide
espousals. Just dirty jokes, often crude and
not-all-that-funny, but nowhere in the
neighborhood of Toilet Talk's stalls of social
strife.
Distorting graffitti: My God. is nothing
sacred?

Wrong Tune
tmmtmm
I wish to express
occurranuf m thee
this past Saturday night.
The performers, the Central Hark Sheiks,
played a tune, a parody of "Mr. Beaujaagles,"
changing'the lyrics to describe a "Mr.
Abromovitz," a mercenary and deceitful man,
a "dirty old Jew". The long satirically
denigrates this repulsively portrayed
character, and ends with the words, "Mr.
Abromovitz....Mr. Abromovitz....Die."
This caricature- of the dirty scheming
Jewish businessman fits within a centuries-old
tradition of stereotyping' and hatred, of the
Jewish merchant. However, it is my opinion
that the expressed attitude of hostility against
this Jewish merchant type, generalizes to all
Jews.
What disturbs me is the way in which the
song was received. The audience (presumably,
a large number of them were Jews) giggled at
the amusing parody and applauded at theend.
seemingly unaware of (or perhaps in accord
with) the attitude of blatant hostility that is
basic to that song.
Hatred and prejudice arc not harmless.
Therefore I do not take lightly the expression
of these altitudes and their ready reception.

Castles Burning:
The Discussion Begins
by Ken Wax
Repeat a lie often enough, and people will start believing it. Which is probably why so many of
you out there are under the mistaken belief that sexual activity is a normal, healthy part of one's
existence.
The truth of the matter is, as you suspected years ago, that sex is dirty. Dirty, dirty, dirty.
This week we'll start a discussion of various components of s-e-x. Scheduled for this article
arc Virginity, Masturbation, a little bit about Fornication, and we'll end (hopefully) in Orgasm.
Virginity
Who remembers virginity? Everyone starts out with this virginity stuff. It's not like you have a
choice in the matter, you've got it whether you want it or not.
And, at one time or another, everyone (well, almost everyone) loses his/hers. The Question:
Where does the stuff go? Can it walk? Can it change colors and blend ihto the scenery? Has
anyone ever found any virginity? Are people out there hoarding?
I, in my travels, have never stumbled across any virginity lying out in the street, and don't
know anyone who has. Now that you mention it, I've been unable to locate virginity even when in
the roo m at the time of its loss. Where are all of the billions of vaginites this world has seen lost?
Is the government stockpiling them in barbwired fenced warehouses in the Nevada Flats? I
would really appreciate any answers you may have to this question. (Write me c/othe ASH).
Masturbation
It's masturbation time! No, no, I mean we're going to latt about it. Put the
'handkerchiefs
away, degenerates...
For numerous generations, adolescents have suffered through hormone-rich puberty with the
belief that Masturbation Causes Blindness. Then, in came the 1960's with the new morality, and
we're told that it's an old wive's tale: The blindness bit is an unfounded superstition. Science tells
us so.
'
Hut is science all that perfect? I've had my share of ripped latex products. And we've all heard
those stories about mix ups which have some Ovulen plastic containers filled with saccarin. So
are we to believe this dictate of science? I'm not sure, but I do know that there are a lot of people
who have to wear glasses...
But, lor the sake of discussion, let's assume these science people arc correct. Fine. Its not bad
for you. Hut the question is: Is Musturbation good for you?
Can it help you land a good job? What can it do for you grades? Is is going to improve your
social life? Huh? Huh? The answer is No.
Other than perhaps indirectly improving your tennis game, I challenge you to come up with
one constructive use of this potentiallycmbarrussing("Er..justlookingatupimple..."Jactivily.'
Orgasm
Which brings us to Orgasm. Ahhhhhh, that was nice, now back to the column...
Between Consenting Adults
What's that I hear out there? Sex between two consenting adults is a beautiful, normal thing,
you say? Arc you implying that you're adult! You, who spends your time in a fantasyland called
college where daddums puys for all expenses, and all you have to do is sit on your ass for perhaps
fifteen hours u week, have the audacity to call yourself adult') Help, Dad, could you put some
more in the checking account... Damn lot of nerve even thinking you're anywhere near being
adult...
Conclusion
So, where are we? We've established Virginity as a concept that's difficult to conceive. And
Masturbation as a waste of time and tissues which'll knock your eyes out.
Which brings us back to where we started this article. You do it in the dark. With your eyes
closed. And the door shut. It'll get you all gooey and sweaty. Now, are you going to tell me that
sex is not dirty?
Correct. Sex is dirty, and filthy, and vulgar, and you should feel damn guilty about it, not to
mention how he's not Jewish and you're disgracing the entire family and Grandma would kill
you if she knew . . . .

Another major increase that
necessitates a board hike is the tencent minimum wage boost, Zahm
explained. "We musl pay $40,000
more a year just to pay for student

"FSA should have a minimal
amount of money in reserve,"
Grossman explained. "There were a
lot of mistakes in the past and we
must bear the burden."
"It's in our interests to have a

Zahm. "We're healthy. We still have
things to pay off—we'll be totally

"The one big outstanding loan is

Starting February fourth, FSA's
Check Cashing operation will no
longer accept second party personal
checks, i.e., personul checks made
oul by someone other than the person cashing the check.
Also on that.dale FSA will begin
charging ten dollars per check that

categories. Anyone found guilty
after referral to the Student Judicial
Court will lose check-cashing
privileges until December 31st of the
following year.
The new policies, adopted by the
FSA Board of Directors ut their
meeting last Wednesday, are in
response to the increasing number of
had checks being passed to FSA.
The number of bad checks in
December, 1974 was up twenty-six
percent over December, 1973. The
dollar amount was up 19%.
.
Students receiving checks from
home will be especially inconvenienced by the new policies;
they will have to get their own accounts or have their parents send
certified checks or money orders. "I
don't like the stringent measures
anymore than anyone else," said
FSA Director Norbert Zahm, "but a
sizeable minority have chosen to ripoff check-cashing."
Only personal second party
checks are involved, so bank,- FSA,
Stale. Company, SA and other second party checks will still be
honored. '
Cases will be referred to the Student Judiciul Court for review und
possible transmittal to the appropriate police agency, which will
usually be the Albnny District Attorney's office.
Comparable procedures ure being
designed which will apply to faculty
and stuff.
Check Gushing has traditionally
been one of the "losers" of the FSA
operations, having lost $13,000 last
year. Every category of bad checks
has increased in number; Accounts
Closed went up 3 3 1 % from
December, 1972 to December, 1974.
Zahm has suggested to the FSA
Board of Directors (there are six
students on the Board) that the fee be
raised from fifteen cents per check to
twenty-five. Thiswould not solve the
theft problem, but would put the
troublesome operation in the black.
The additional ten cents would have
meant more than $15,000 last year.
More Course Concentration Found
by Deborah C. Sharp
Because of the elimination of
specific course requirements,
SUNYA students majoring in the
Social Sciences and Humanities
have chosen to take more courses in
their major and related fields according to a report completed by the Office of Undergraduate Studies.
Increased specialization leuds to
the dilemma of defining a liberally
educated person, who is traditionally thought of as being well-rounded
with background in u wide range of
study.
The report is a study of academic
credit earned by the SUNYA
graduates of May 1974, und includes
855 students who begun us freshmen
here in Sept. I970, the year specific
course requirements to fulfill a
"minimum liberal urts" requirement
were eliminated by the University
Senate,
"it is the first evidence we have on
the behavior of students with almost
complete freedom in the selection of
courses," suited Robert Morris,
dean of Academic Affairs.
The study reveals a severe lack of
courses taken in the Natural
Sciences and Math areas for
students in the Humanities a n d '
Social Sciences. Students with a ma-
jor in the Social Sciences took only
tow courses in the Math/Science
area (on the average). However, the
majority of this Math /Science work
was completed by Economics and
Psychology majors who took fouror
five courses per person, as compared
to Poli Sci and History majors who
averaged one course and one-half
course per person, respectively.
Humanities majors took one
Math/Science course per person (on
the average).
In contrast, the greatest spread in
course distribution of study
appeared among majors in the
Natural Sciences und Mathematics,
The report ulso noted whut il
termed a "disproportionate amount
of credit" earned in the major
department. Music mujors completed 59% of their work within their
major, Art majors 42%, AfroAmerican studies majors 41%, und
Nursing majors 43%. This compares
with astronomy und Poli Sci majors,
who completed 18% and 28%,
respectively.
Prior to fall I970, students had to
take certain courses to fulfill the
"minimum liberal arts" requirement
for either a BA or BS degree. The
purpose of specific requirements
were, explained Dean Morris, to in-
sure a "distribution of knowledge
over the three major areas of man's
knowledge: the Humanities, Social
Sciences, Natural Sciences and
Muthemalics." Among those
courses previously required were 12
credits in the Nutural Science/ Math
area.
Although ihe report states
"limited
adjustments
by
departments appear to be called
for," Dean Morris stated that the
report contains "no specific
recommendations of what changes
need to take place," but points out
specific matters that in his judgement call for "careful attention by
the faculty." He expressed hope fora
cooperative effort, and use of the
"collective wisdom of student, faculty, and the available information on
.issues as broad as: What this campus
means by a liberally educated person."
A full copy of the report has been
forwarded to the Undergraduate
Academic Council, which established degree requirements. In addition
tbc council received his memo asking
how SUNYA should define at
'liberally educated person' and advising that there be consideration of
curriculum policy changes. A (till
