Banes Upset Eagles; NCAA Hopes Brighten
by Bruce Maggin
Brockport Slate, New York's top ranked Division II and III teamcameto
town Saturday night, hoping to wrap up the SUN YAC crown and gain some
momentum for the NCAA playoffs. But they were denied that as a
courageous Albany State basketball team put on a fantastic display of team
work to defeat the Golden Eagles, 72-67, before a packed house of delirious
fans.
AII eyes will be focused on Brockport tonight, as Buffalo State takes on the
Golden Eagles. A Brockport loss would give Albany an automatic NCAA
bid. An Eagle Victory would give Brockport the SUN YAC and would force
the Danes to depend on an at-largc bid to get into the tourney.
"We deserve a NCAA bid," said Doc Sauers after the game. "We are 12-4
in Division III play. No other team, beside Brockport, has a better record in
our region."
The way the Danes played Saturday could go a long way in convincing the
selection co,rnmlttcc that Albany deserves a bid. The key to Saturday's game
was Albany's ability to outrebound Brockport. The Eagles had 6'8" Kevin
Williams and 6'6" Pops McTaw < but the Danes proved that skill works better
than height, as they constantly boxed out Brockport. Tom Morphis played
his finesl game as a Great Dane with his line board work and all around play.
Everyone pitched in under the boards. Mike Supronowic/ .who is only six
feet.was able to snare 6 rebounds, one more than McTaw.
Albany's tenacious /one defense was never better, as the Danes forced
Brockpo rl to take the lower percentage outside shot. Albany was able to shut
oil Brockporfsslarguards, Dan and MikePanaggio.astheywereheldto II
and 1.1 points respectively. Last year, Dan killed the Danes in the ECAC
tournament. "We were out to get him tonight." said Suprunowicz after the
game.
The Danes' offense was equally effective as Albany shot 52% from the
field. The team was able to work lor many close in shots and the longer shots
were dropping.
The Danes knew that their season was on the line. Albany was in the
locker/room almost two hours before game time, as they were really psyched
for the contest. This coupled with a jammed university gym complete with
banners, horns and bells made the psyche even greater.
The Eagles were able to take an early five point lead, but were not able to
pull away. McTaw of Brockport and Eddie Johnson provided much of the
early scoring punch. Morphis' two buckets brought the Banes back to within
one and Bob Audi's basket gave Albany its first lead of the game at 22-21.
Brockport and Albany took turns holding the lead the rest of the half, us the
game went back and forth, Dan I'anaggio's bucket with four seconds left,
game Brockpori a 33-31 hall-time lead.
The big question was whether the Danes could sustain their attack for

their lead. The best Brockport could do was tie. hut Albany would come right
back with some clutch shooting to re-lake the lead.
The Danes were leading 56-53 when the roof looked like it might cave in.
Bill Curry hit a driving layup and was fouled. He missed his foul shot but
McTaw was fouled under the boards. He put in two free throws and with 5:29
remaining the Danes were suddenly down by a point. A missed Albany shot
gave the ball back to the Eagles. If there was ever a time Albany should have
folded, it was then. But they dug in there and played the most exciting five
minutes of basketball in their history.
Brockport started to slow things down as they were looking for the good
shot. Dan Panagglo saw an opening and put the ball up, only to have it
rejected by Morphis. Brockport immediately duplicated that feat on the
other end of the court, but quickly turned the ball over on an offensive foul.
But the Danes couldn't capitalize. Johnson ran into Dan Panaggio and was
called on the offensive foul, finishing him for the evening.

Cieisser, speaking to a group of

should be on a peer group basis," he

was on the first two, which he said
are "intimately related."

Nicotine is Here to Stay
(ZNS) A British medical
researcher reports that just about
every non-smoker living in cities has
nicotine in his or her body which is
caused by other people smoking
cigarettes.
Doctor M.A. Russell, writing in
the British medical journal Lancet,
stales that 'Virtually all urban nonsmokers have measurable amounts
of nicotine in their body fluids
throughout most of their lives."
The nicotine, the doctor says, "is
derived from the indoor air they
breathe and it requires no more than
one or two smokers to contaminate a
vehicle or building."
A second new study on smoking
has been released in St. Louis by
Doctor Raymond Slavin. Doctor
Slavin has found that smoke from an
idling cigarette puts twice as mu(h
nicotine and tars into the air as exhaled smoke docs. Hc states that lira
closed room, the concentration of
nicotine may reach the level a
smoker receives by smoking four or
five cigarettes.

last Tuesday night.
Gene Roddenberry, Star Trek's
creator, spoke for forty minutes, but
it was the thirty minute "blooper"
film of Star Trek outtakes and the fifty
Revltw minute Star Trek
pilot film that had
lured the crowd to the
Ballroom and got the biggest laughs
and applause.
Roddenberry is over six feet tall,
with a California sun tan, shaggy
greying hair, thick brows that hid
dcepset blue eyes. The science fiction
hero predicted that within twenty
years a revolution in telecommunications will have as great an
effect as the Gutenberg press.
Every human being on earth can
have access to all of man's recorded
knowledge through advances in
storage and retrieval systems. All
this will be possible, he added, if the
new developments in the field are
used wisely. H e cited examples of TV
tubes as thin as a pane of glass, a nation of cable television will allow
people to d ial up any form of recorded entertainment or education for a
nominal fee, and Xerox-type
duplicators to print newspapers and

Oeisser joked about SUNYA's
need for a dean altogether. "You
seemed to have done allright so far,"
he said.
The responsibilities and power of
a SUNYA Arts and Sciences Dean
are not clear. The position is held "at
the pleasure of the President" and no
written job description really exists.
Geisser said that two courses a

reasonable. He also said that he personally did not like lecture-style
classes but that some departments
did. He also approved of ACT (Student Association's Assessment of
courses and teachers), calling it a
kind of "consumer's information
guide."
He was asked several times about
the professor who was an excellent
teacher but did not do much scholarly work. He indicated that an effective teacher, beyond the introductory level, would be by nature a
scholarly professor. (Scholarship
refers to publishing articles and
b o o k s , o r i g i n a l research,
sophisticated development of
teaching methods, etc.).
Geisser sat comfortably in the
Patroon Room Lounge, near the information desk. "Students deserve
excellent training," he said. He
spoke about policies at the University of Minnesota, but very little about
his impressions of SUNYA policies.
He explained that in his busy two

March 6th and 7th, another candidate, Geotge H. Stein, will be on

Most student media representatives felt the press conference,
which lasted about an hour and ten
minutes, was too short. Many
questions remained unanswered.
Among them was, why, after two
months of what SASU President
Dan Kohane described as"rampant
rumors" about a pending rent hike,
In some countries, programs are
and predictions by the Chancellor not yet available due to the instabilithat "necessary revenue will not be ty of the foreign government. In
achievable if rent and board rates remain the same," the top administrative officials are apparently
in the dark about the threatened increase in room rates.
In the January 24 issue of the
ASP, SUNYA's Vice President of
Management and Planning John
Hartley was quoted as having said
that "signals have been for no increase. Normally if something like
that is being planned we would have
heard." President Benczct's Assistant Ted Jennings, contacted theday
before the meeting, said that,
although he wouldn't be surprised if
a rent hike were implemented, any
talk of such a move is still "strictly
countries such as China, the United
States would like to extend i
program. But, according to ft.
Charles Colman, Director of International Studies, "They (the
Chinese) want to sec how out
relations are going to develop. Well
be there as soon as they want us."
According to Dr. Colman, a student who wanted to compare Arabian and Isrcali cultures, who
wanted to study in both countries
would have some difficulty. Due to
recent terrorists attacks, Arabian
countries will not permit entry to
any person whose passport is
stamped with an Israeli visa.
Therefore, the student would first
have to study one semester in an
Arab country, then study one
semester in Israel.
By far with Albany students the
most popular program (54 students
this year) is a one year study in
Madrid. This program requires at
least two years of college level
Spanish or the equivalent, and a survey course in Spanish literature. A
student may be admitted to the
program without the requirements
but would have to study at an
English speaking University.
Students normally earn about 3(1

courses taken.

Way to Cut Costs
In a time of economic need, the
College Board's 20-year-old national
Advanced Placement Program is being rediscovered by parents and
students as a "new" way to save some
money on college costs. A national
summary lately published by the
Board shows a four percent increase
in schools participating in the
program, an increase of 11 per cent
in the number of students involved
and a jump of 12 per cent in the ,
number of examinations taken by
students.
Students who took Advanced
Placement Courses in high school
and who entered college this fall saved their pa rents an average of $400 in
higher education costs, according to
College Board estimates. Based on
this calculation, students in New
York saved about $5,346,400—
money which otherwise would have
been required of their parents, or
drawn from hard-pressed Financialaid and scholarship sources in the
state.
New York was the leading state in
the nation in APP participation in
1974, with more schools involved in
the program (541), more Advanced
Placement candidates (13,366), and
a higher number of candidates from
all states sending AP scores to
colleges in New York (7,739) than
were sent to any other state.
Participation by students was up
13 per cent, from 11,864 in 1973 and
the number of participating secondary schools also increased byfactor
of seven per cent, from 511 in 1973.
Of the state's 1371 high schools, 40
per cent are AP schools.
Harlan Hanson, AP Program Officer for College Board, reckons
APP students saved as much as $24
million nationwide. Dr. Hanso. said
' of the program's growth, "It may
seem ironic for aprogramthat has
been around for 20 years, but it
appears Advanced Placement is a
program whose time has come.
Students see itasa "new" way to save
on college costs; schools see APP as,
a "new" way to upgrade the
curriculum and improve high school
teaching; and colleges find APP
gives them opportunities to offer
students credit for what they know."
At present, APP is offered by only
about 15 per cent of the high schools
in the country and slightly more than
15 per cent of the 350,000 eligible
American students have access to
APP, according to Dr. Hanson. A
few states have more than 40 per cent
of the high schools as APP participants. In one school, Irondequoit
High School in Rochester, New
York 217 students out of a potential
of 900 juniors and seniors took AP
exams last year.

The possibility of having a taxi

ALL ABOARD! Next stop—
WURZBERG, OERMANYI
Each year hundreds of SUNY
students study abroad in over ninety
countries. Many more students
would consider it but hold several
misconceptions.
Misunderstanding
One misunderstanding is that v
knowledge of a foreign language is
necessary. It is not and over one
fourth of the programs require only
English. Another idea that is misconstrued is that students go
overseas only to study the language
of the country. This is false. There
are programs such as the study of
Tropical Biology in Jamaica which
requires only that a student speak
English. Other programs in English
located in Great Britain offer
theater, landscape architecture and
dance. There are programs in
Liberal Arts, Social Sciences,
Humanities, Natural Sciences and
even specializations such as
oceanography.
Fees vary from country to country. However, a student pays only
SUNY tuition. This means all
scholarship and aid is applicable.
Room, board and expenses are
usually paid to the foreign government. In actuality, the cost of a
semester or year abroad is not much
more than a semester or year in
Albany. A student applying for the
SUNY exchange program with
Moscow will actually pay less than a
semester in Albany. This includes
the cost of air fare, tuition, room and
board and expenses.

HYPNOTIC A88A88IN
(ZNS) A former F.B.I, agent and
a Los Angeles private investigator
are out with a new report, claiming
that convicted assassin Sirhan
Sirhan was "hypnotically
programmed" by others to fire shots
at Senator Robert Kennedy.
The new study was presented to
the American Academy of Forensic
Sciences in Chicago last week by
former F.B.I, agent William Turner
and investigator John Christian. The
two men claim that Sirhan was a
kind of "Manchurian candidate"
who had been hypnotically
programmed to fire shots at Senator
Kennedy while a second assassin actually fired the fatal bullets from a
second gun.
The researchers quote material
gathered during Sirhan's 1969 trail
after Sirhan was interviewed by University of California psychiatrist
Doctor Bernard Diamond. Doctor
Diamond found, when he placed
Sirhan in hypnotic trances, that
Sirhan had been repeatedly hypnotized before.
Turner and Christian suggest that
Sirhan was programmed to intercept
Kennedy in the pantry area of the
Ambassador Hotel and to create a
commotion by firing shots in the
Senator's direction. The two investigators argue that a second man,
an armed security guard also in the
pantry, then pulled his weapon during the confusion and fired three
shots into Senator Kennedy at close
range.

SECRET OIL INVASION
(ZN S) The London Sunday Times
claims the United States government
has secretly formulated a military invasion plan, code named "Dhahran

Arab oil embargo.
According to the Times, the plan
calls for the invasion of Arab oil
producing nations by American
troops in the event a Mideast War
breaks out and another embargo is
placed on oil.
The Times claims that "Dhahran
Option Four"wasdrawn upbyPresdent Ford, Nelson Rockefeller,
Henry Kissinger, C.I.A. Director
William Colby and Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of StaffGeorge Brown.
The London newspaper says that
the secret plan calls for U.S. troops
to cut and then occupy the Ghawar
oil pipeline in Saudi Arabia, and for
the occupation of Dhahran airport

U.F.O. BOOKIES
(ZNS) The British Unidentified
Flying Object Research Organization has put its 700 "flying saucer"
watchers on special alert, predicting
that there will be sensational
sightings over England over the next
few months.
The U.F.O. organization is so
confident of new sightings that it has
released a set of eight step-by-step instructions on what to do if you see a
U.F.O. The instructions tell
observers how to make sure their
eyes aren't playing tricks on them,
how to photograph flying space
ships and how to estimate how far
away they are.
One advisory report even predicts
what space people will look like. It
says that space creatures will
probably "be about 4-fcet, six inches
to 5-feet tall, with large heads and
eyes that seem to go part of the way
around their heads. They have no
observable lips, but a slit for a
mouth." The report adds: "It is not
clear whether they have necks or
legs."
One British flying saucer bull has
placed a. 100O-tu-l odds bet with a
licensed bookie in London that "A
U.F.O. with an alien being from
another planet will land or crash on
the Earth before the end of the year."

Alabaster Fades Out...
...But Not Forgotten
U.D.C. at the Brink
w
1!1 •
!; '
r .
In behavior strikingly reminiscent of the old Republican dominated Legislature, the
state government played eleventh hour brinksmanship with what many in government
felt to be the basis of the state's solvency. On Tuesday afternoon, the New York State
Urban Development Corporation, a SI. 1 billion housing construction firm went broke
when it defaulted on $100 million in bond anticipation notesdue that day. At eleven
p.m. Tuesday night, the state Assembly went into emergency session to construct a new
agency to pick up the pieces, and the debt, of the U.D.C.
Governor Carey then introduced his Project Finance Agency bill, realizing that
there had to be some action from the Legislative branch that night or the blame for the
fiscal collapse of the state, which he hinted was possible, would be squarely on its
shoulders. The Assembly answered the call, simply because they are Democratically
controlled, and it would appear absurd if a Republican Senate met at midnight to bail
out the Democratic Governor while the Assemblymen slept.
The Governor's P.F.A. bill was 36 pages long, more pages
than
most
Assemblymen read all session, to say nothing of two hours. Playing classic majority
politics. Majority Leader Al Blumenthal kept his Democrats behind the doors of the
Democratic Caucus until he and Speaker Stanley Steingut were convinced that the
necessary 76 votes were ready. In the intervening hours between the bill's introduction
and the onset of the session, the debate was not about the merits of the bill. Indeed,
Assemblyman Hecht. Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and the bill's introducer, was not aware when asked that this agency would commit the state to an appropriation of S40 million a year over the next forty years.
The sad part of this U.D.C. story is not that the Assemblymen had to meet at midnight, nor that they were forced to pass a bill that no one had read. The shame of how
Carey handled this issue was that he allowed it to get to the point were nothing short of
heroic last-second action could save the state from a crippling financial crisis. Months
ago. leaders in slate government were aware of the critical condition of the U.D.C. It
should have been no surprise to Carey that the banks, a natural ally to former Governor Rockefeller, would not snap at a chance to be friendly with Carey.
The same bill which had to be rushed through the entire legislative process in less
than 24 hours could have been handled far more efficiently had the Governor brought
his package to the Legislature weeks ago. That way, however, the Governor would not
have received the headlines and publicity he got. nor would he have been considered
the hero of the day as he is now. It won't be too long, however, before more and more
people realize the implications of the P.F.A. bill, and regret the way in which they were
coralled.
Carey has behaved exactly the way Wilson and Rockefellerbehaved before him. His
last-minute actions were designed to goad the Legislature into rallying to his side on the
impulse of defending the state, a gut. emotional response that would have undoubtedly
been overshadowed had the time been available for the representatives to consider
what they were doing.
But the Governor allowed no time for thought, and it may be to his future discredit
that he opted to go for the immediate glory.

When President Ford nominated Carla A .

It isn't her sex that bothers the givers and

in the cold, as it were, as to what she knows or
where she stands on an> ol their pel projects.
Her career as an assistant attorney general has
given her neither experience nor contact with

her to oversee.
Thus, Chairman W i l l i a m Proxmirc

and the U.S. Conference of Mayors and
League of Cities expressed "shock," at what
the President had done. Only the women came
to Mrs. II ills' defense and they, sad lo say, fur
the wrong reasons.
Mrs. Hills is an energetic person of proven
intelligence and integrity, qualities which
make her stand out in a city filled with people
whose ambitions surpass their abilities.
Whether she is capable of hacking her way
through the H.U.D. jungle I don't know. I

Richardson's Arches Fall on Walking Tour
by Hillary D. Keiblek
The greater part of the first floor
of the Albany Institute of History
and Art is devoted to an exhibition
of the blueprints and drawings of the
nineteenth century architect Henry
H. Richardson. Through a walking
tdur sponsored by the museum last
Friday, the works of this architect
were closely examined.
Richardson must represent an
area of major interest to many
Albany area citizens as more than SO
people could not be accommodated
in this tour which only had space for
,40 persons. He was the designer of
two of the city's most important
buildings, the State Capitol and City
Hall.
The tour began with an inspection
of these blueprints and sketches.
Aside from viewing the evolution of
the design of the Capitol, the Trinity
Church, which according to many
critics was Richardson's greatest
achievement, was on display. The
church, built in Cambridge with its
elaborate Spanish Romanesque
details is shown in various stages of
its development. The original plans
of the Richardson concept for a
railroad station are also on view.
Many of these stations still adorn the
Albany-Boston area. According to
Jahn Mesick, the tour guide and
architect from the Albany area, these
railroad stations were the inspiration
for Frank Lloyd Wright's development of "prairie architecture."
H. H. Richardson, an American
citizen, returned from an extended
'visit to France at the close of the
Civil War. He saw much confusion
in architecture and felt that it was his
mission to bring order out of the existing chaos. He copied the
Romanesque period of architecture
(900-1100 A.D.) and his buildings all
shared Spanish and Southern
French detail. Richardson used the
principle of great arches which he
claimed declared to the people "enter
me here."
The architect was a staunch
believer that any building he designed should take its shape from the activity that went on inside. He said he
would undertake any assignment
from that of a chicken coop to a
cathedral. His creations were
not nearly that diverse, ranging from
small private residences to criminal
prisons.
Although by present day standards the Capitol building and City
Hall are by no means innovative, at
the time they were built they
represented great architectural advances. Out of 10 buildings chosen as
the more beautiful in the nation in
1888, five were designed by Richardson. Ironically, two were constructed in Albany (the Capitol and
City Hall).
An idea constantly recurring in
Richardson's work was a sense of
catering to the insidesof a building.
He devoted as much time designing
This building, City Hall, won an award for beauty in 1888.
luxurious insides and colored intricate interiors as he did to his
I design of the outside structures.
Leaving the institute, the tour led
the participants to a luncheon
specially prepared at the recent
LegislativeOffice Building. Theeffect
of this building is of bleu cheese, as
the major material used in construction was marble. Its sleek
appearance made an extreme contrast with Richardson's Capitol
building viewed in the distance.
Lunch was perhaps the most interesting and unusual part of the
walking tour. Most of the participants were middle-aged women,
all expensively attired. There were a
smattering ofv men in their midst,
among them d irector of the museum,
Norman Rice. After initially shying
away, several of thewomen took me
under their wingand directed me to a
table where 1 would get to meet "all
the important people." By the meal's
end, Mesick commented not on
Richardson but on our own "beloved" campus. He raided negatively
to the architectural design stating'
that it (the design) was a sad commentary on what parents and especially politicians expected of
education.
teriors of the Capitol are overly ornate, heavily decorated and conjure
up the image of a mausoleum.
The project of building the
Capitol as Richardson and Eidlitz
designed it took thirty years and expenses were six times over the
amount alloted it in its original
budget. The twoarchitectsoriginally
desired, a dome at the top of the
building but they were overruled by
those who claimed the structure
would sink with the addition.
Self-Directed Tour
A privileged visit to the Lieutenant Governor's quarters was
granted as a part of the walking tour.
Here one could examine closely a
clock that Richardson designed. It
was the most impressive piece of
work in the Capitol, being the only
t h i n g not o v e r d o n e a n d
overembellished.
City Hall is not as maudlin and
As the entourage slowly crept
towards the Capitol building after
the luncheont I was well on the way
to establishing good public relations
with several of the women museum
members. They went so far as to encourage me to purchase my own
membership to the institute. By this
time, they had a better impression of
a SUNYA student and some of the
initial stuffiness
I had
observed in their attitudes had
vanished.
Armed with insight gained from
the morning's look a Richardson's
blueprints and drawings of the
Capitol several observations could
be made. If one looked closely at the
building the change in architectural
styles could bedetccted. Richardson
and Leopold Eidlitz, anoiher
architect, took over the Capitol's
construction after the resignation of
the first a rchitect. Fuller. They compromised with the half constructed On the right, the new Legislative Oflice Building, on the left, the

The building was divided
diagonally in hall from the southeast to the north-west cornet.

COMIC MASTERPIECE:
Of Mood and Winter Weather
by Alan Frledmann
Muddy footprints, frozen impressions of past passers.
Once One sunk deep into its soft surface,
But now its frigid hardness is hateful and horrid to the touch.
i walk upon the petrified slop
unable to make an impression of my own.
The concrete ridges, as added insult, cut deep into the soles of my feet.
Cold winds cutting like sharp knives.
Warm blood freezing as it drips from newly sliced skin.
A faceless man behind a deli counter
Methodically slicing away piece by piece
Slicing away till nothing remains but a few drops of blood
Wiped quickly away by an old rag.
Sheeted puddles, icy demons lying in wait to loose my footing
Placing themselves deliberately in my path
Grasping hands beneath, everwaiting, to grab my foot, my leg, myself.
Their stinging burning touch upon my skin, pulling me downward,
Plunging me into the icy cold depths
Forever falling into icy inky blackness, a never ending abyss
Downward forever,—no chance to climb back up.
The impressioned moon, a hundred mocking faces delighting in my
circumstance
Shining its suffocating milky spotlight down upon me
Placed in view of all their hideous sneers
Escape impossible in ; ai^4i(^ionn;.' % »i»..i„^
Chattering rotting teeth and craterous eyes "
The sound of their never ending cackling growing ever louder
Singular people, cold grey rectangles
Like the one-dimensioned figures of a shooting gallery
Unknowingly moving in their predetermined paths
In circular rotation ad infinitum.
It appears so very clear to me.
Why won't they stop and ask the time?
The wind again, this time howling
Like the screams of flesh hungry wolves
Their crescendoing howling approaching ever closer
Circling and surrounding from all directions
Tasting the blood on their salivating tongues
Feeling the warm flesh against the walls of their stomachs
Do come! Be done with it.

Roxy Music is decadent. That's
one criticism that has often been
levelled at Bryan ferry's group, but in
the wake of the Velvet Underground
and Lou Reed—especially his Berlin
album, a definitive statement on
decadence if one everexisted, "Roxy
is decadent" just doesnt hold up.
British art/rock maybe, but does
that really mean anything?
Incongruity is the key word to
Roxy's success. If they must be linked with art. Ferry might be called the
Rene' Magritte of music. Objects
and aspects of rock that normally
have no business with each other
come together in Roxy Music as they
do in Magritte, and it's all a part of
the process of mocking everything
they do. (Even their album covers
are parodies of the supposedly
provocative covers of Muzak
bands.)
They're strong imaginative wellcxccutcd rock, but Roxy's bile is in
its lyrics. Ferry sings words that
usually do not mean much of

The budget for it had been even
tighter and in designing this structure, Richardson was unable to
devote as much eff or to the internal
design.
The walking tour of l|. \\
Richardson's Albany was an interesting experience but one that
anybody can virtually duplicate for
himself. The Capitol building offers
its own tours all the time and the
pamphlets they hand out are merely
memorized by the tourgnide. The
most unusual and entertaining pan
of the day was meeting some of the
Albany citizenry. It is almost admirable to sec the devotion thai they
feel for their area. Their main

On defense, what is the best way to
try to defeat contracts'! Oneway is
simply to try to count the distribution of declarer's suits. This method
usually supplies answers as to what
suit to leadat a given point, which
suits to save if declarer is running a
long suit, and so forth. The only
catch is that it is personally annoying
to have to stop lor a prolonged
period of time just to reconstruct the 1
hidden hand. Moreover, it is a
further blow to be haunted by
suspicions that declarer, or worse,
your own partner, would like you to
play any card al all, just 10 finish the
hand. But asa defender, it is your job
to find out the best way possible to
defeat the contract (assuming there
is a way). The few extra moments
spent to ponder will he well worth
Ihe pain in the long run. I.el's look al

Contract: 4 Spades-South
Opening Lead: Ace of Hearts
After South opens the bidding
with I Spade the final contract
becomes 4 Spades. The opening lead
is the Heart Ace.and West continues
that suit at trick two, which declarer
ruffs. The Queen of Spades is led
from the closed hand, and you as
West, duck, on general principles.
The Spade King is led next and you
win this trick, as partnershowsout.
At this point many Wests would
cash the Ace of Clubs figuring to
"take ii while lean,sinceSoulh'slosing clubs can be thrown off on the
d i a m o n d s . " Closer analysis,
however, shows ihis to he false
reasoning.
II we stop to count declarer's
hand, we find he had 5 Spades and 1
Heart, for South to be able to make
use of dummy's luscious diamonds,
he musl hold Ace and ill leasl
another. II South holds but two
diamonds then he would he left
holding 5 Clubs; therefore, only
three of them can be thrown on the
diamonds. That means, on the
diagrammed deal, that South is left
with two losing clubs: down one, instead ol making, if West does not
cash his Club Ace.
II Small has three diamonds
original!) (and 5 Spades and I
Heart) he would then have four
Clubs. And only two Clubs can be
thrown on the diamonds: down one.
again, il West does not get cold feet
and cash his Ace.
All that was required to defeat this
hand was lor one member of the
defense to reconstruct declarer's
hand, which merely involves counting up to 13.

'Death Knocks' at the Door
Bergman Explores Battlefield of Marriage
by C S . Santiao
'Scene, from * Marriage" begun with a
magazine reporter conducting a .lightly
uncomfortable interview of Johan and
Marianne, a happily married couple of ten
year.'vintage. He', an accomplished behavior
scientist. She's a divorce lawyer. It Mem., at
least on the surface, the Johan and Marianne
have the "perfect marriage"-both have fairly
successful careers, both are educated and
attractive, they've two fine children (whom we
never see), a respectable house, and what',
more they're content and they love each other.
In short, thoroughly intoxicating domestic
bliss.
On the surface.
What the reporter doesn't perceive is that
just a little deeper down lie. a yawning, schism
between Johan and Marianne. Even the word
"couple" mutates into pathetic irony after a
short time.
Ingmar Bergamn, who wrote and directed
"Scenes from a Marriage" (and pared it down
from its original six-hour T.V. length) is
attempting to anwer on the screen the
question, What can you say about a decadeold marriage that died? Bergman has plenty to
say and demonstrates once again his fluency in
the cinematic language. "Scenes" is a striking
departure from the surreal symbolism of
"Criesand Whispers." Putting aside incidental
characters, the film is essentially a dialogue
between two people and the aftermath of a
discovery that their marriage isn't all it's
cracked up to be. Technically, 'Scenes' is
rather straightforward. Dramatically, it is a
labyrinth of emotional turmoil.
The marital cracks that appear during the
interview begin to widen dangerously duringa
dinner party with their "happily" married
friends Katerina (Bibi Anderson) and Peter
After her friend's disaster, Marianne (Liv
Ullman, who is excellent) starts wondering
about the status of her own marriage. She's
desperately introspective. She questions her
happiness. She fears sexual inadaquecy and
the turbulent undercurrents that have been
brewing for ten years begin to make their
presence felt. Johan (Erland Josephson) is
apparently not so analytic, but he too, as we
learn, is disinterested with the marriage. To
escape the constricting routine, "the parties,
the vacations, the holidays," Johan takes lover
and flee, to Paris. Johan had commented

Who's that knocking at my door, who's that knocking

Death came swinging through the door and fell flat on

by Marty Lijeck, last weekend.
There comes that time in everyone's life when death
enters the picture, and pulls the strings on the final curtain. Here today—gone tommorrow! Right'.' Veil.not if

Even though the classical era ended with Beethoven, the term for the
high form of music at any given time,
"classical" is as good as any word to
describe such music. These semantical questions raise many quesitons.
Is Stravinsky classical? Arc the
Beatles classical? And so forth.
It is almost impossible to classify
the music that goes on at the present
time. Any given piece could mark the
beginning of a new trend whose
direction will show itself in time to
come. Or, a piece could mark the end
of an era. We would not realize this
until later. Another problem is that
terms once applied to a particular
trend tend to become broad and unnatural labels.
I don't feci that music by the
Grateful Dead, Moody Blues, and
Peter, Paul and Mary fall into any
one category although they have all
been called "Rock", Likewise, Ives,
Mozart, and Schut/ arc worlds apart
even though they are often called
classical. Fortunately it ispossihleto
look back and discern trends.
The purpose of performing
classical works is manifold. They are
nice to listen to and can mellow over
time as audiences change.'I'he pieces
are instructive to performers and
many are quite a challenge for even
the best musicians. Listening to
older works helps us understand why
our music sounds the way it docs.
There seems to be a revival of
classics not only in music, but in the
Arts in general. An infiltration of
Classical music into newer music,
movies and such demonstrates this.
Switched on Bach generally comes
to mind first. Kubrick's Clockwork
Orange is another example of new
usesforoldermusic. Inamorcsubtle
way, however, rock groups performing with symphony orchestras is
also apart of thistrend, Most recent of
these is Rick Wakeman's Journey to
the Center of the Earth. This work
has no less musical validity than any
oratorio. Another interesting combination of rock and symphony is
the Mahavishnu Orchestra's recent
album Apocalypse.
Symphony and rock have a great
deal to offer each other. New instruments in an orchestra add tonal
color. Compositional ideas in rock
become more daring. Still, I doubt
the future of music will be a happy
blend of both.
Tati's Traffic Shown
by Joseph Dougherty, Jr.
It's no easy matter to make people
laugh. Even within the context of
laugh producing cinema thereareas
many theories ass to what is funny as
there are performers.
Because of the easy going, organic
nature of the films of Jacques Tati it
isn't surprising that he is not as popular in this country as such directors
asWoody Allen and Mel Brooks.
Regardless of whether or not you've
ever been introduced to this
remarkable Frenchman and his
work it is certain that once
you'vcinet him amet him you won't
he able to forget the event.
Tati's comedy is fluid and human
emerging from the background
rather than having the appearance
ofheing pasted on with little care. To
see a film by Jacques Tati is to
witness a genius peered only by
Kcaton and Chaplin.
Traffic follows Mr. Hulot(Tati),
* * * tonight's the night* *
who is given the job of transporting
an experimental cat to a large European Auto Show. That is the film. It
Hows from gag to gagas it makes its
unique observations on Man's love
of car.
While many comedy films seem
shallow and the humor vanishes
once the film is over, Tati's humor
stays with you, warming your mind
and coming hack to you each time
you encounter in your own life the
events Tati cxploitts in his films.

The Consequences
To the Editor:
It has always been my personal belief that
the primary responsibility of a newspaper is to
print the facts; and that these facts should be
reported in a clear accurate fashion. Anything
less than the complete unobscurcd truth not
only inhibits the public's view of what is really
going on; it also places the credibility of that
paper in jeopardy.
So, with regard to the article," A & S Dean
Candidates List Released," which appeared in
this Tuesday's ASP, 1 wish to extend my
hearty congratulations to the individual
responsible for successfully continuing to
maintain the amazingly inferior quality of
journalism for which the /li'/'has been so well
noted for in the past.
Supposedly, the main purpose of this article
was to inform the student community that a
candidate for dean was to he on campus and
that students were invited to an open session
with him at a specified time and place (which
you were explicitly informed of). The
consequences of not reporting this pertinent
information is the possibility of low student
turnout, less feedback to the committee and an
impression given to the candidate that
students arc unconcerned about the future
dean.
Another point I must bring out is your
obsession with the former dean of Arts &
Sciences. This man served when I was not a
member of this university and I have little
knowledge of his name, performance or
personality. Throughout the entire interview
his name was not mentioned and so I therefore
refute the quote attributed to me, in which his
name is mentioned. He is of no concern to me
as a member of the search committee and I feel
the space appropriated to his picture would
have been utilized better if it contained the
information left out about the present search.
My last points, which could be considered
minor, concern the manner in which I was
personally treated throughout the article.
Besides my name being misspelled and my
being misquoted, you will find that no
introduction was given to me, while a man
who has had nothing to do with the university
for two years is not only introduced but also
gels a picture on the front page (an obvious
waste of space). If you would gel your minds
off the past and into the present maybe then
the students will know what's going on.
I think an apology to the students of this
university, members of the search committee,
the candidates for clean and myself is in order
because of your lotal disregard lo the ideals of
good journalism.
Robert Frcedman
I would never expect to read such degrading
remarks from any Albany State student,
except of course, in jest, but from the president
of the Student Association? It not only
belittles this institution and everyone
connected with it, but it says even less for the
person commenting, especially if he. by
choice, attends this "sinking ship."
In the past I have agreed with most of Pat
Cumin's statements and decisions, but there is
no way this one can get by unnoticed and void
of any reply. I'm sure SUNYA lacks in some
areas, but to make such a general statement
that "SUNYA's going downhill" seems
incredible to me.
1 believe that a clarification and an apology
is the least anyone in this institution should
expect. A leader is supposed to lead; not
discourage.
As a student of Albany State and, more
importantly, as president of Student
Association, Pat Curran should cither begin
to help bailing out constructively or jump ship
completely.

Fight for Survival
To the Editor:
As an alumna of this university with an
inter-disciplinary major in Judaic Studies. I
was appalled and shocked to hear that the
tenure of Professor Zvi Abbo is being
questioned, I have had Professor Abbo for
intermediate level Hebrew courses and for a
number of literature courses.
Mr. Abbo is a dedicated and talented
instructor who not only has proved himself in
the capacity of a researcher and innovator in
the teaching of the Hebrew language, hut also
shows a deep concern for his students and
their needs.
Professor Abbo's television courses, created
and organized by him on his own lime, have
proved lo be highly esteemed among the
continually increasing number of students
who have begun Hebrew as a foreign
language. Through his T.V. method, Mr.
Abbo has been able to accommodate over 100
students per term in an introductory level of
Hebrew. This has enabled him to devote lime
to advanced language and literature courses.
The uniqueness of Professor Abbo's courses
are nut only popular among SUNYA
students, but also act as a dynamic force in
attracting members of each year's freshman
class. If Mr. Abbo should not receive tenure, it
would certainly be detrimental to those
students interested in the study of foreign
languages and literature, as well as lo the
University itself.
lie assured thai I, as an alumna, as well as
many other students al SUNYA are greatly
distressed over the tenure issue of Mr. Abbo
and we will do all in our power to change this
situation.

To the Bditor:
Reading last Tuesday's (Feb. 26) lead article

personally offended by certain comments
made by SA President I'at Oman. Curran
stilted that he had many questions to ask the
Arts and Sciences candidate for Dean,
Seymour (ieisser; many of them pertinent but
one was most Infuriating. I he question was,
"And why are you coming here when
SUNYA's going downhill'.1" After this
question Curran noted, "It doesn't do much
good to be captain of a sinking ship."

In Defense
To the Editor:
In his Letter to the Editor Tuesday, Stanley
Shapiro made several allegations against the
S A Supreme Court, and especially against two
Justices of the Court, that I feel I must
comment on.
Mr. Shapiro stated that Dan Gaines and
Chris Aidun were railroaded through Central
Council without any review of their
qualifications. If this were true, it would show
a gross negligence on the part of the members
of Central Countil. Gaines and Aidun were
nominated January 29 by Pat Curran. One
week later M r. Gaines was approved, and two
weeks later Mr. Aidun was approved. This
does not sound like "railroading" to me. Asa
matter of fact, several attempts were made to
railroad them out of the Court after
confirmation, under the provisions of Central
Council rules that were used to remove FSA
members recently, provisions whose
constitutionality is quite questionable.
What are Chris and Dan's qualifications'.'
l o r that matter, what qualifications are
desirable for the Court in general'.' Previous
judicial experience is probably a good
background, but U.S. Supreme Conn Justice
William O, Douglas was the chairman of the
Securities and Exchange Commission before
he was put on the Court, and he has proven to
he qualified. A semester or two in argumentdebate classes is possibly more \ iluablc than
an equal lime spent on Judicial Boards. It
must he considered that the Judicial Boards
are a kind of criminal court, which give
punishment lor violations of University
regulations, the Supreme Court is entirely
separated, and is a kind of civil-constitutional
court, dealing with cases concerning Student
Association or SA groups, and sends
recommendations for disciplinary action lo a
Judicial Hoard when Ibis is necessary.
Mr. Aidun and Mr. Gaines are competent
and qualified Justices. Mr. Shapiro may also
be qualified, along with do/ens of other
people. However, there are only seven
positions on the Court. II Mr. Shapiro was not
interviewed, even after repeated requests, then
Castle's Burning:
someone in SA is not doing hii job; but this
does not reflect on the integrity or ability of
those persons who were interviewed.
Mr. Aidun is vice-chairman of PIRG, and
Mr. Gaines an editor of the ASP; this does not
disqualify them from sitting on the Court. If a
person can do two, or even three, jobs well, are
we to deny him or ourselves the benefit of his
services? Dan and Chris have not attempted to
amass a collection of jobs, or monopolize
student power, but have volunteered their
time to work even further for Student
Association. Their dual roles are no more a
conflict of interest than that of other Justices
who work on WSUA. class governments, or
other student activities, or are former SA
officials or Central Council members. If a
conflict of interest proved to be a constant,
serious problem, or the requirements of their
different positions became too timeconsuming, I am certain that any of the
Justices, including Gaines and Aidun, would
be conscientious enough to resign from one of
their positions.
Dan Gaines and Chris Aidun arc qualified,
competent, and conscientious Justices of the
Student Association Supreme Court, and
their continued service is a benefit to the
University and to the SA.

Apology?
You Want an Apology?
by Ken Wax
What does one do with an irate reader'.' Broil'.' Fry?
It seems that no mailer what I write about there'll be a Idler al the ASP Monday morning
demanding my exorcism from the newspaper. That's bow 1 start my week.
Usually snotty and damn arrogant, these letters accuse me of being the cause of a host of
plagues, and conclude my existence is responsible for all human suffering since the creation of
man.
I ypically, they harp on sexism, chauvinism, ami a guest gripe thai varies from letter lo letter.
If that was all they did, I wouldn't mind. Bui (here's just so much ranking one can do on a
particular article, and the slurs soon stray from the primed material and gel downright personal.
In fact, character assasination is an applicable term.
Now, you know how sensitive I am, and these letters really upsel me. I'd gel all shaky, food
wouldn't stay down, and I'd toss and turn all night. But alter weeks and weeks I have developed
an immunity to them. Now I find the abuses merelyannoying,and somclimesa liltleanuising.
Based on a 6"x9" swatch of me once a week, these astounding clairvoyants have
reconstructed
have cloned my entire existence, attitudes, personality, and all that. And
from their construction, they've decided they don't like me. Let's just say it's not a pinnacle of
justice.
Then they get abusive. I mean downright nasty. Oh, they yell al me, call me all sorts of names,
pick on me...one even said my humor belongs in the...in the...in the garbage! Damn ingrates, is
this who I spend my time for?Often I'll slay inside the enlire weekend, lingers poised in readiness
above my typewriter, just waiting for that burst of inspiration that will be the week's article. And
they yell al me...I'm gelling shaky again, excuse mc...
How should Ideal wilh these people? I'm not sure. 1 havetwu conflicting philosophies on the
matter, and while I haven't made up my mind, I'm leaning towards the second one.
The first philosophy empalhetically tries to envision the letter writer. They're angry, incensed
at this punk Wax. Can I really fault them for blowing up at me? It was my article that caused this
whole hassle in the first place, and I should he understanding ol this person's point of view when I
reply. With all the problems in this troubled world, I certainly shouldn't add lo them, and if lean
clear up some misunderstanding, all the better! So the first philosophy says to deal with them in a
friendly, sensitive manner.
I'he second says: "Screw em."
What's the siory with these people? What do they want from my life? Did anyone./brcethem to
read my article? Did I pull out a gun, press it to their temple, and say "Read!"? No, I did noil Its
themselves ihey should be mad at, for allowing themselves to read it. Why involve me?
Believe it or not, some even have the added audacity to "demand" an apology. Can you
imagine that? What do they want from me? "I'm sorry you have no sense of humor." Is that
acceptable? "I'm sorry you go to this school.".» Or is" I apologize for having a different point of
view than you." What do you want to hear, Communist?
So in conclusion, folks, keep those curds and letters...

Indians:
Taking Over
by David Coyne
Once upon a time, many years ago, when you and I were children, there were some students.
These students got together and decided that the university was built for them and that the world
was hypocritical and filled with social injustice and political exploitation. The students didn't
like the way things were.
So what did they do? Well at first, they did just what good little boys and girls are supposed to
do, they asked God and the president and the university to make things better.. .but nobody
listened. The students didn't know what to dobecause nobody ever taught them anything except
to ask.
Then, without warning, a strange thing happened. Some of the students started thinking of
ways to make themselves heard.. .ways like buttons, and clothing, and long hair, and draft-card
burning, and making demands, and taking over buildings, and burning down buildings, and
taking to the streets until finally, God and the president and the university heard them.Andthc
students asked their questions about injustice and exploitation. And some of the questions were
answered. And God and the president and the university said that not all the questions could be
answered just then but if the students were patient like good little boys and girls should be, they
would get answers soon.
So the students acted like good little boys and girls andwerepatient and boo ked it and played
frisbee in the sun. And time passed and the students forgot about their questions which made
God and the president and the university breath a collective sigh of relief. Which brings us to the
present.
A long time has gone by and the questions are still unanswered. Why is board going up when
the Patroon Room is the best buy in town? Why is room rent going up $50 a year? Why arc there
no more student votes on tenure decisions? Why can't four students live together off-campus?
Whose university is this anyway? Why are we being exploited? When is this shit going to stop?
This past Wednesday, 300 students told the Chancellor and the Board of Trustees that we
aren't going to pay for a room rent hike. The Chancellor was forced to come down into the street
and talk to the people. He agreed to meet with our representatives to discuss what the students
were saying and he admitted that if what we were saying was true, there wouldn't bea rent hike.
The shit will slop now ii you want it to. We are committed. We will fight for what we believe we
deserve and we will tell the world that in the immortal words of Dick Gregory "We ain't gonna be
your nigger no more."
There will be an open meeting of The Committee Against University Student Exploitation
(CAUSE) this Saturday and Sunday. A list of demands will be compiled and this time we will
keep shouting until our questions are not just heard but answered. There will be no sell out.The
first demand that the committee would like to propose is that there ..be. no designated
spokesperson or steering committee and that all meetings to "negotiate" demands be open to
everyone.

As has been probably been mentioned to you, all
students must adhere to the rules for student conduct,
which are published each Fall under the title of Studen t
Guidelines. These rules follow the lines you'd expect
(things such as murder and kidnapping are prohibited),
but the question arises, what exactly happens to the
student if his conduct does run afoul of one of these rules.
This brings us to the Student Judicial System, an
advisory branch to the Office of Student Affairs (due to
State law the University must have the final say on
student conduct). The System is divided into five Quad
Judicial Boards and one University Student Judicial
Committee (USJC). As their names suggest, the quad
Boards hear cases concerning incidents occuring on each
Quad, whikUSJC hears University cases not occuring on
a Quad and is the appeal organ to the Quad Boards.
Don't b - scared away from the Boards because all they
can do is "advise" an Administrator. As was pointed out
above, this is merely due to a technical ity in State law.
In the past two years, no Judicial Board decision has been
overturned. Therefore, if you're a student who has a
complaint against another student, use the Student
Judicial System. Get a referal form from your quad office
or the Office of Student Affairs. If you're a student and a
charge is being filed against you by anyone on Campus
(Security, the Bookstore, an Administrator, etc.) demand
your right to have the case heard by the Student Judicial
process. The Student Judicial System is set up to protect
your rights and interests, but can only do so with student
cooperation and use.
that the increase was virtually essential in order to prevent the corporation from going more than a quarter
of a million dollars in debt. FSA is a
nonprofit corporation chartered by
the Secretary of State of the state of
New York. Nevertheless, to be a fully
functioning service organization it
cannot incur debt as a way of doing
business.
My responsibilities in this matter
were twofold—to act responsibly as
a director of the corporation, and to
further the student interest. While
many would question whether it is in
the student interest to pay more
money, voting in favor of the increase helped to insure the survival
of the corporation in this time of
economic difficulty. By helping to

Have you ever been interested in

afraid to try? Well if your interest is
still in existence, you now have the
opportunity to develop or sharpen
competitive skills. Starting March
10th from 3:30-5 p.m. swimmingand

under the direction of Coach Leslie
Hoar, for any women considering
joining the Women's Swimming and
Diving Team. Competitive experience is not necessary.
Binghamton. The swimmers raced
against contenders from Brockport,
Colgate, Rochester, Queens, St.
Bonaventure, Binghamton, Alfred,
Cornell, Cortland, Ithaca, William
Smith, Niagara, and Oswego. Of all
the teams, Ithaca proved to be
superior, setting five NYSA1AW
records on Friday and two on Saturday.
Albany did relatively poorly in individ ual meets but managed to break
their own school record in the 200
yard freestyle relay. Contributing to
Presently the team consists of IS
members but Coach Hoar would like
to see an increase to 25. This number
is not meant to be a ceiling to the
team's membership; "the more the
merrier" appears to be the team's
running philosophy. A new manager
and assistant manager will also be
needed for next year. Further information may be obtained by contacting Ms. Hoar at 457-45381.
The 1975 swim season was
wrapped up last Saturday at the
statewide competition held atSUN Y
this race were: Kathy Maloney, Bette
Smith, Trudy Corawell, Nancy
Kolln, and Tracy Hepworth.
Tracy had the unique setting* of
racing next to her sister, Linda
Hepworth from Brockport, in the
100 yard breaststroke. Tracy swam
fast but not fast enough. She lost to
her sister by a dramatic three-tenths
of a second, giving Tracy second
place in the consolation finals.

In A.M.l.A. Floor Hockey action:
Division A:
Scott Demner scojed two goals
and Jef Weberman novhed his third
of the season, as Nate's Nanooks
defeated State's Blues 3-1. The win
ups the Nanooks' record to 5-0-1,
and served as the clincher in the battle for first place in Division A.
Weerman opened the Nanooks'
first goal at 9:00 of period one, taking a Mike Gamage pass in the slot
and beatinggoalie Andy Negri on his
own rebound. State's leading scorer,
Bob Santoro, evened; rijajters at 2:15
of period two,, vjhejjjoiding and
roughing penalties left the Nanooks
double shorthanded.
Five minutes later Demner notched his first goal to put the Nanooks
ahead for good, with the clincher
coming at 11:00 of period three off a
perfect Nolan Altman lead feed.
The Cheekies clinched at least a tie
for second place and one of three
playoff spots by putting out the Fire
4-0. Captain Larry Kahn tallied on a
Roy Michaelson assist at 10:00 of
period one to provide all the scoring
needed. John Romano made it 2-0at
8:32 of period two, and Kahan and
Tom Martin tallied in the third
period to ice it.
Something Special winged the
Hawks 3-0 on a pair of goals by Ed
Icidston and one by Steve Eisenman,
as goalie Steve Baboulis notched his
first shutout of the year.lcidston
tallied at 1:27 of period one, again at
12:27 of the second period, and
Eisenman at 6:23 of period three.
Whalers on top
In Division B, the Whalers maintained their one point lead over the
second place. Colonists as.they
screwed the Mother Puckers 4-0.
Mark Constantine scored at 9:00 of
period two, Brad Seid, Mike
Razenhoffer, and Bill Jonat each
tallied in the third period. The
shutout was Andy Amico's fourth
(in as many games) as he maintained
his goals against average of 0.00.
The Colonists slashed the
B.V.D.'s 5-1, on aTom Herman "hat
trick", and 2 goals by Bob Pape.
Herman scored at 5:37 of period one,
and Pape made it 2-0 at 12:27. The
lone B.V.D. score came at 11:52 of
period three when Jim Franke' took
a Dennis DeLisle pass in.
"No" edged Poke's Pucks 1 -0 on a
second period goal by Jim lacona at
11:00. The win kept "No" 2 points
back of the Whalers, one back of the
Colonists, as those three teamsbattle
for first place and the first roundplayoff bye thay goes with the top
spot.

A.M.I.A.
In a game plagued with penalties,
the Yaks won their first game of the
season,as they beat STB 4-3. Steve
Gazes opened the scoring at 0;41 to
put STB ahead, before the Yaks
came back with three consecutive
scores by Howie Witlin, Sid Isig, and
Joe Calandra. Bob Baxter tallied at
6:42 of period two to pull STB within
one, but Tom Burns scored a
breakaway goal at 12:43 to ice it.

The Albany State water-marvels
outclassed the swim team from
Norwich, Wednesday night, by the
score of 74-37. It was the last meet of
the season for Albany, evening their
record to 5-5; the team's first .500
record ever.
In spite of the poor competition
Albany faced, the team didn't have
much difficulty getting psyched-up
after the meet began, possibly
because itwastheend of a long dual
meet season and the last dual meet
for the team's seniors ever. Albany
swept most of the events, but the
meet was not without some exciting
races. The individual events opened
with a bang as Dave Rubin won the

basketball recruiting is one field in
which women are not looking for

soon avoid the mistakes made by

With the recent introduction of

Pandora's box has been opened, one
which many women's basketball officials are very wary of as their sport
grows by leaps and bounds.

Stibbers,
Ihe Women's Gymnastic team is
on the move again this weekend as
they travel to Ithaca for the
NYSAIAW Championships. Nine
Dandles are entered in the competition and according to Edith "Doc"
for caution.
"Where there are scholarships,
there is going to be recruiting going
on," Mrs. Rush said. "Withoutgood
regulations, women's basketball
could fall prey to the men's
problems. But women have seen
what happened to»the men—that
could bethcbestthinggoingforus."
While some schools give athletic
scholarships to women, Immaculata
and Queens do not. Immaculata is
14-2 this season, losing to William
Penn and Federal City, which also
don't give women athletic
scholarships.
Non-scholarship schools
Can the non-scholarship schools
continue to compete?
"I think we can, but it will be much
harder,"said Mrs. Kush, whose88-6
record at Immaculata has earned
lhal tiny, 525-studcnt women's
school outside of Philadelphia the
reputation as the UCLA of women's
basketball.
Queens, a division of the City University of New York, has only
moderate tuition fees but no
scholarships.
Queens a power
"We do have some things going
for us," Miss Kyvallos said. "We
have a highly developed women's
program and we have many schools
in Ihe city from which to attract
players. So if someone from Ihe city
wants to play women's basketball on
a nationally competitive level, she
can do thai al Queens.
"But with other schools giving
scholarships and all, I'm mil sure for
how long we can compete."

MARCH 4, 197S,
SA Slashes Stipends; SuggestsCredit
by David Winzelberg
A controversy is developing
around the Stipend Reform bill
passed by Central Council over two
weeks ago which made the elimination of most stipends and reduction
of the rest part of S A Finance Policy.
Stipends arc monetary reimbursements paid to students in
positions of responsibility in SA
groups.
The bill suggests that stipends be
replaced by pass-fail independent
study credit.
The bill was accompanied with a
three page report of recommendations for stipend reform submitted
by a Council Ad Hoc committee
formed on the subject. Committee
Chairman Kick Mecklcr reported
that "a growing number of requests
lor stipends sparked the reform effort." He added that "thecommittee
checked a lot of schools in the slate
system" and found that "a vast majority don't pay ihe stipends Ihatour
SA does,"
The Stipend Reform committee's
report, adopted as Council policy
when Ihe bill was passed,
recommends that several stipends be
.substituted by academic credit. A
"student activities board," also
recommended by the report, will lie
set up next term to assist in the administration of receiving academic
credit for those student activities
now losing stipends.
According lo Student Association
Vice-President Ira Birnbaum, sonic
positions left stipendless by Ihe new
policy include: Service Director of
SA. Concert Hoard chairperson, and
Central Council Vice-chairperson.
Uirnhaum added that "the ASP will
he losing the most in stipends"
among all of the groups now provided with the allowances.
"The independence of the ASP
would he greatly diminished if any
stall members were receiving
academic credit," said former ASP
Editor In Chief David l.erner.
"There's no way any administrator or faculty member can
determine what a student job is
worth. I wouldn't want some credit
hanging over my head as a carrot

and stick so I could perform to the
satisfaction of some faculty
member," Lerner explained. "This
can effect reporters and editors unconsciously even before they write
the story, and in any case the Journalism and English departments arc
against it; credit is simply an unacceptable alternative to stipends,"
he said. "The committee admitted
the prohibitive amount of time required for these jobs," Lerner added,
"and since credit is not an alternative, money is the most effective
and fair means of reimbursement."
Another SA group that will be
affected by the bill is the campus
radio station WSUA. Station
Manager Brie Goldstein feels thai
the reform measure reducing
stipends will definitely be "detrimental" to the station's operation. He
continued by saying: "Stipends are
essential for Ihe efficient running ol
Ihe station. They are not salaries but
they arc reimbursements lor the expenses that these (workers in SA
funded organizations) people must
necessarily incur in the functioning
of their jobs." Goldstein said that he
would favor "a viable academic
credit" replacement lor stipends but
feels that none exist al the present
lime.
Dean of Undergraduate Studies
Robert Morris explained that
students seeking Ihese academic
credits would do so through Ihe independent study programs which
"virtually every department" has.
However, Morris explained further:
"A student seeking academic credit
for SA work must he intellectually
mature and astute enough to beable
lo draw on the direct relationship
between the subject mutter in the
academic discipline and the application of it to the SA work. This is a
necessary condition for identifying a
faculty member who'll be willing lo
serve as the mentor in such an
endeavor."
Dean Morris called the situation
"potentially volatile" and offered
this caution to students behind the
reform effort: "Students historically,
have taken pride in their independence in administrating their
own affairs (i.e., finances, media), a
This Year
(Total Stipends)
think this has been extremely constructive. But as soon as you move to
academic credit for any part of SA
work, you by definition run the risk
to give up some degrees of freedom
of the independence that they enjoy
now."
Chairperson of Central Council.
Lew Kidler had asked SA President
Pat Curran to veto the bill, stating
that it was a change in finance policy
and therefore needed a two-thirds
margin to pass (the final votewas 118 for the bill). Curran refused to veto
the reform measure claiming it was
an addition to policy, not a change.
Student Association V.P. Birnbaum
explained laht the reforms were "setting up new policy, noi amending the
old" and further said that "the
provisions of Ibis policy weren't in
conflict" with Ihe original policy and
therefore didn't require a two-thirds
vote for passage. I he issue has not
yet been brought to the S A Supreme
Court.
Chairperson Tidier is in favor of
stipend reform, adding, however,
that the committee's work thus far is
only a "first step in a several step
operation." He added that he "hopes
that ihe committee members would
continue their work lo add
refinements to ihe present bill." SA
Vice-President Birnbaum thinks the
reform is an "excellent idea" and
praised the Ad Hoc committee's
labors: "Ithink iheydidagood job."

allocation ol the mandatory sludenl
lax caused Albert W. Brown, the
President of SUC-Drockport to request an audit of the Brockporl Student Government (BSG equivalent
to SUNYA's SA) accounts in Oclonber. in addition to the alleged
misuse of HSG's Mobil credit card
there seemed to have been an excess
of S2K00 lo the Black Students'
Liberation Front and the $10,000
that BSG paid the Hrockport F.S.A.
for accounting services was discovered to liav been taken from the
wrong line of the budget. According
to guidelines established by the State
University Board of Trustees forthe
dispersement of the activity lee "Excessive surpluses of student fees
should not be allowed lo accumulate." Yet Brockporl hud
begun to accumulate an excess of
these monies in 1970-71.
A week after the original slury
appeared in the Hroackporl Stylus
further invesligalion by that paper's
staff revealed a former vice president
of BSG William Bennett had used
the BSG credit card lor a $500
overhaul of his car's engine. Bennett
was not alone in his misuse of that
card. In fact although only $2,500
were allocated for all summer expenses BSG ran up a bill of nearly
$2000 on Mobil account. By the end
of July Ihe Executive commitee
found il needed more money so it
simply re-appropriated some
without approval of the Student
Senate (equivalent to our Central
Council). Presented with this and
other evidence BSG president John
Myers called for an audit the last
week of October.
Ai ihe October .11 meeting of the
Student Senate BSG president John
Myers announced that he had taken
five steps against the alleged wrongdoing in BSG. These were cancellation of the Mobil credit cards, the
calling in of the BSG and SUCUrockport auditors, connecting
counsel, informing the Collegcpresident of all developments and a
promise to work with the Stylus in its
investigation of the affair. He also
explained that the District Attorney
had been called in and suggested a
moratorium on publicity until investigations were completed.
The Senate overwhelmingly approved the 3,800 dollars that the
audit would cost and Myers promised lo keep the Senate posted on the
audit's progress. At the same
meeting BSG Treasurer, Carrie
Wright, responded by saying the
BSG's financial problems were
nothing new. She also announced
her resignation, which would be
effective in two weeks and that she
would give a full financial report in
one week. She later retracted part of
that statement saying that there was
a 50-50 chance of her resignation.
Shortly thereafter approximately
four thousand students presented a
petition requesting new elections by
Thanksgiving and a new constitution by April 15. President Myers
commented that the petition could
not be ignored byt the present constitution did not allow for the
possibilities of such petitions. He
also said that because President
