Danes Top Patriots; Readying for NCAA's
by Bruce Maggbl
The Albany State Great Dane
basketball .team closed out their
regular season in unconvincing
form, as they defeated a vastly in' feripr Stony Brook team, 82-70,
Saturday evening.
For the Danes it was their second
poor performance since receiving
their NCAA bid. t i k e the Marist
game, Albany just could not get
"psyched" for the contest. With a bid
in their pocket plus the fact that
Stony Brook was 2-21, the team was
following night in the first round of
the Eastern regional playoffs. Game
time will be 7:00 PM. If Albany is
victorious in their opening round
contest, they will advance to the
championship game Saturday evening.
Tickets for both games are
currently on sale in the main office of
the gym. Later this afternoon the
Athletic Advisory Board will meet to
decide if busses should be chartered.
If busses are chartered they would
probably leave at 12:00 the day of the
willing to coast to victory. Eddie
Johnson and Mike Suprunowicz led
the Danes in scoring, each chipping
in twenty points'.
The Danes must now be able to
turn it on again as they focus their
attention towards the NCAA's. They
need the same enthusiasm that they
had for the Brockport game.
Albany will be leaving for
Brockport Thursday afternoon.
They will practice on the Brockport
home court that evening, before taking on St. Lawrence University, the

those who cannot attend the games,
WSUA (640) will broadcast both

' If Albany State is to have any
hopes of advancing in the NCAA
tournament, they are going to have
to prove that they can win on the
road. The Danes are 9-1 at the university gym this year, but are playing under .500 ball on the road (6-7).
In the Danes recent past, Albany
could not win the big road game,
Dane losses this year have come
against Siena (twice), Hartwick,
Oneonta, Hamilton, Frcdonia and
Marist. Albany did manage to beat
Buffalo State on the Bengals home
court and the Danes lost to Hartwick
by only one point in overtime.
Judging from the Brockport game,
Albany can take the heat. Their entire season was on the line and the
Danes responded with' fury. The
team exhibited great poise, refusing
to fold, even when Albany fell
behind late in the contest.
To be able to win the tournament,
thought, Albany must perform like
they did against Brockport and Buffalo State. It is going to take a complete team effort. Much of the
pressure will fall on the Danes'
forwards. Albany's biggest man is

Senate Debates Limiting Exams To Finals Week
by Pat Sakal
A bill currently before the University Senate, if passed, would require
that final exams only be given in the
sixteenth weekof the semester (finals
week). The hill, introduced by the
Undergraduate Academic Council,
came about because a student complained because he had too many
finals in the fifteenth week ol classes
(the last week of classes).
The hill notes that final exams
carry substantially more weightthan
other tests, and are comprehensive.
Furthermore, the bill states that
any test in the 15th week ol classes
should be announced in the syllabus
ol the course no later than the 11 ill
week, must not extend beyond class
hours, nor may it fit the above definition of a final exam. This bill does
not require a professor to give a
final, rather it seeks to keep all finals
within their specified times. Instructors may get their course exempted
from this policy only by the dean of
the school, by the request of the
department chairman.
On Monday the University Senate
met and discussed this bill. After 40
minutes of discussion, the meeting
was adjourned, without resolution of
the topic in question. However,
several important points were
brought up regarding this bill during
and after the meeting.
Senator John Slut/ (faculty)
pointed out that the way the system
is now. if a professor decides lo give
the final early, students really can't
object to it if, for example, they have
another exam on thesameday. Slut/
says this is because of the "tremendous peer pressure" to gel the exam
Gay Scores Half
Ray Gay was the only one who
seemed to be able to locate the
basket as he snared hall of the Pups'
24 second half points. The rest of the
team was having its problems (to say
the least) and the Tigers were just
pulling away at will. A 15-4 Tiger
burst in the last three minutes put the
Pups out of their misery and locked
up the final score.
Shooting a horrible 27% on the
night and scoring only 49 points, it
was probably their worst game of the
year. Dincen and Van Geider with
21 apiece were the leading scorers,
while only Gay with 16 had a respectable total for the losers.

over with as soon as possible. He
tnen indicated that he believed the
reason lor objection lo the hill is to
let students out a week earlier. Ira
Bimbaum (student senator; also
Vice President of SA) raised a "point
of personal privilege", saying that is
not the reason he objects lo the bill.
At this point, the room, filled mostly
with administrators and professors,
broke out in laughter. Bimbaum
continued, saying it is more advantageous to students to have the exams more spread out than they are
now. Andy Goldstein (student
senator (agreed, arguing for flexibility in the exam schedule rather than u
"fence" around classes.
Lewis Tidier (student senator) did
not see justification lor the intervention in this matter by the University
Senate at all. lie proposed thai each
class should decide on the exam
policy lor itself, rather than the
Senate "dictating" policy.
A female student senator spoke in
favor ol the bill, saying there is no
reason to v iolatc or deviate from the
existing final exam policy.
Slut/ then said he believed that by
not requiring all courses to have
finals in their specified lime period, it
"robs" the classes in which
professors don't choose to give an
early exam of valuable classroom
time.
Various amendments to the hill
were discussed; then one faculty
senator staled that since it was shortly alter 5:00 and the discussion seemed to he heading nowhere, the
meeting should be adjouncd.
In an interview later, Dr. Philip
Tomkins. Chairman of the Rhetoric
and Communications Dept. and a
faculty member of the Senate, in-

Faculty member Phillip Tompkins favors the Senate bill.
dicated he is in favor ol the bill. Dr.
Tompkins believeslbe "most salient
argument" for the bill is that he. as a
department chairman, has received
complaints from other RCO
professors saying the work thai is
supposed to he done in the 15th week
ol classes is often disrupted and not
done because of absences. I ompkins
also said that, given our existing
system, the bill is in order with iland
will make the system work better.
In response to Birnbaum's
feelings, he said there may be other
possibilities which he would consider. He cited the abolishment of
finals altogether,givinga week more
of class I ime; or establishing a "study
period" of several days between the
last day of classes and the first day of
exams.
Dr. Tompkins believes the most
constructive thing to do is to debate
these alternatives, questioning the
present system, rather than spending
time try ing loatnend the present bill.
Disagreeing with Tidler's objection lo considering the bill,
I ompkins does not think it is practical lo have each class determine its
ovv n policy, lor it would interfere at
times with other courses.This would
Anti-Student Bill
ha Bimbaum calling the proposed
policy an "anti-student" bill, believes
it is wrong to make students face all

exerts too much pressure on them.
He stated; "There's nothing more
frustrating than getting;! lower mark
in a course than you're capable of
only because you've had another

Bookstore Rip-Offs Continue, Complains Dean
by Naomi Frledlander
Stacked on Gary Dean's desk in
thcSUNYA Bookstore were various
paperbacks, a box of aspirin, and
rolls of hard candy, Friday's loot. By
3:15 p.m., on Feb. 28, seven students
had been caught stealing these articles. Thievery has become a common occurence for Dean, manager
of the store.
"I really wish the problem would
go away because I don't want to
catch people," Dean said. But with
twenty-seven students already apprehended this semester, the
problem clearly has not been erased.
Dean, uncertain as to whether more
stealing occurs now than last year or
whether students are just caught
more now, said that the protective
forces had been increased this
semester. During the January book
rush, three Burns guards were
employed by Dean to watch for
shoplifters. Now, only one guard,
Rosanna Benjamin, works in the
store. Benjamin, who guards the
store weekdays and some Saturdays,
asks students to leave their
belongings outside the Bookstore
entrance and watches for shoplifting. Follctt Bookstore Manager
Dean said stealing goes on anyway
because students can hid articles in
their shirts, coats, or in their pocketbooks.
"We used to say 'put it back and
leave the store,' but that didn't
work," Dean said. Now Dean files a
description on each theft and sends
the information to the University
Judicial Board which recommends
the appropriate action to be taken.
So far, of the twenty-seven students
whose names have been sent in, four
cases have come up to the board, the
rest to be heard within the next two
or three weeks, a board member disclosed. Punishment f o r ' t h e
shoplifters can range from a drop of
all charges due to a lack of evidence,
to probation, the member said. In
addition to a sentence, an official
letter of warning and a statement of
probation are on a student's permanent record for a stipulated period of
time. Any prospective employer or
graduate school has full access to the
records.

During the past two years, a growing number of students have expressed concern about the noise level
in residence halls; and manystudents
have indicated a desire for quieter
living areas. A January 1975 survey
of 10 percent of the resident students
revealed that 73% were satisfied with
the present courtesy hours policy,
and 19% wanted to live in quieter
areas. (Under the courtesy hours
policy, there is a "quiet period" from
11 p.m. to 7 a.m. on days before
classes.)
in recognition of student desire
for living areas more conducive to
studying, the residence staff intends
to establish "quiet" residence areas
on-campus. These staff-chosen areas
are: Pierce Hall, on Alumni
Quadrangle; and/or floors 16
through 21 in Stuyvesant Tower, on
Dutch Quad. Pierce Hall houses 103
students and will be coeducational
by floor; floors 16 through 21 of
Stuyvesant Tower houses 129
students and is coeducational by adjacent suite. Establishing these areas
will depend on sufficient undergraduate interest in filling them.
Like many other special-interest
groups on campus, academically
oriented students want to be
recognized. This fact was brought to
the attention of SUNYA's Quad
coordinators. SUNYA's Director of
Residence, John Welty, introduced
the concept of the Specialized Student Group Program Team to meet
the needs of minoriy groups. One of
the "minority groups" that came up
for discussion was the "quiet" student. According to Patricia Snyder,
Asst. Director of Residence, State
Quad, "There was a special need
there." It was noted that graduate
students had no "special need"
because most of them are housed in
Brubacher Hall, Alumni Quad, and
have the option of choosing a single
room.
Guidelines Drawn Up
After this meeting, Val Hodge,
Resident Director, Colonial Quad,
chaired the Program Team conducting the survey. Survey questionnaires were given out to the Resident
Assistants on all five quads. They
distributed them to students on a
random basis. The data showed a 9%
return on the 10% surveyed. Said
Patricia Snyder, "Even though it was
a small sample size, it was very
representative."
Then, a steering committee composed of student volunteers drew up
guidelines that dwellers in the
proposed housing would have to
follow. These included:
1. respecting each other's wishes to
study;
2. working with others who share
common interests;
3. interacting socially among
themselves and with the University
community;
4. creating an active community based on cooperation, participation,
and flexibility.
In addition, the Steering Committee proposed the formation of an

"They usually try to run," Benjamin commentedg.when asked how
students react when caught stealing.
"Sometimes we have to chase them
into the cafeteria," she added. Dean
said that students have been chased
as far as the Social Sciences building.
When finally caught, students respond quite differently, some showing guilt and anxiety while others
seem not to care. "I've had people sit
and cry and then there are those people who are laughing before they
even get out of my office," said
Dean.

Carey to Push Speedy Release of
Federal Study on Stewart Airport
State Approves $90M
Appropriation for UDC
by The Associated P r m
The legislature rushed approval
Wednesday of a $90 million appropriation to keep construction going at Urban Development Corp.
sites across the state for the next two
months.
The bill was designed to give the
state time to find private sources of
capital to complete UDC's housing
a n d commercial construction
program on a longterm basis. And
some legislators expressed the hope
privately that the appropriation
would serve as the "gesture of good
faith" some major banks have said
they wanted before getting involved
again with UDC construction.
The legislation guaranteed at least
a temporary lull in the UDC crisis
which has transfixed state government since last fall, when 11 major
"clearing house" banks served notice
that they considered the U DC a risky
investment and would no longer help
market its bonds unless changes
were made.
The Senate approved the appropriation 39-19 Wednesday after-
noon, following up on favorable
Assembly action at 1:10 a.m. of a
113-34 vote.
The scenario was a virtual repeat
of the action one week ago, when the
two houses pushed through a bill
creating a new Project Finance
Agency. Gov. Carey proposed the
new agency as a vehicle to handle
UDC's future borrowing, which the
banks would find a more attractive
investment than the UDC itself.
The UDC defaulted on $135
million in loans last week, and was
stripped of virtually all of its cash
resources late Friday afternoon
when banks seized money in UDC
accounts to hold against those loans.
The banks have agreed not to make
any such seizures in the future
without giving at least five days'
notice, and therefore the $90 million
will be channeled directly to construction.
Without funds, construction at
U DC project sites would have ended
this week—a step U DC officials had
said would probably lead to massive
vandalism the theft at the sites.

UNIVERSITY CONCERT BOARD
presents
Alumni House to Sport Solar Heating System
by Edward Moser
The building of an Alumni House
is currently taking place in a clearing
on Perimeter Road near Dutch
Quad. Expected to be finished this
summer, the Alumni House will
feature a unique solar heating
system.
An outgrowth of the environmental and energy conservation
movements, the heating system is
designed to handle both summer and
winter conditions.
In cold weather, the sun's rays will
be trapped in plate glass "solar
collectors", filled with water and
located on an especially long roof.
This water, when heated, will travel
into a number of giant storage tanks
within the building. A pump will*
remove the heat from the water and
transfer it into the ventilation
system.
Cooling Tower
During the hot months, water
from the tanks will be run into a
cooling tower during the early part
of the day. Later, the cooled liquid
could be used in the Alumni House's
air conditioning system.
Even the placement of trees his
been considered in planning the
heating process. The Alumni House
will be surrounded by deciduous
trees, the shade of which will help to
cool the building in the summer.
Such trees lose their leaves in winter,
and so the building will receive the
full benefit of the sun's warmth at a
time when it will need it the most.
In addition, evergreen trees, which
never shed, will be so placed as to
block the prevailing winter winds
from assaulting the House.
The cost of construction is estimated at $175,000, a sum already
raised by alumni contributions. The
solar heating component will cost an
additional $60,000. The campus Atmospheric Science Center will use
state funds to cover about a third of
this, and the Niagara Mohawk
Power Corporation will makeup the
rest. The Corporation wants to find
out how the cost of solar heating
compares with more conventional
methods.
One might ask what would
happen in the event of a long cold
spell, since the heat pump can only
use water warmer than forty degrees.
The problem would be solved by a
back-up system of metal
coils
located in the tanks and heated electrically.

As for the student who raised the

The issue will not be again discussed until the next University Senate
meeting which will be in April after

Supermarket prices are also
presently under investigation. Many

extensions from the Unit Pricing
Law, exempting them for varying
periods of time. PIRG members are
surveying the stores to find the
degree to which the law is being
followed, what items are listed, and
if they have been done correctly. The
committee plans to work out
guidelines for enforcement of the
law. Supplementing this, a study of

will be released to the public at a

One committee is preparing a

the fact that the same drug by a

Albany PIRG, the SUNYA
branch of a istatewidc organization
instituted by Ralph Nader in 1971,
held a monthly general interest
meeting last Monday. During this
meeting, committee chairpersons
summarized current projects and
outlined future goals and plans.
Most recently initiated is the
Albany Legislative Program, designed to organize a massive school lobbying effort. This will be pyramidal
in structure. The person in charge
can contact various sub-leaders, who
will instruct their group members as
to which issues to write lettcrsabout,
and to whom they should write.
When a legislator is bombarded
with hundreds of letters, he will undoubtedly be spurred to action.
Moreover, should one thousand
people in each of the twelve NYPIRG schools involve themselves, the
power of sheer numbers would have
a staggering effect. Politicians, concerned as they are with reelection,
arc greatly influenced by public opinion.

Although the primary purpose of
an Alumni House is to serve alumni
interests, the building will also
provide conference space for all University functions.
The Alumni House was to be built

rather finals represent the culmination of an entire semester's work.
Therefore, the scheduling should be

they're capable of doing, "not for

WSU A FM?
Interphase
Though there has been no enormous change in the format, style, orcontentof the S A
funded on-campus radio station y/SV A, this semester has seen a vast increase in close
scrutiny of and concern about it.
There is nothing new about the complaints. The signal is still carried by wire to
transmitters only on the five quads which means W S U A is a "carrier current" station.
As such it is easily influenced by other electrical currents, flourescent lamps, and the
like. Because of this there is a buzz in many places which varies in pitch and intensity
but surely interferes with listening, especially on Indian Quad where the buzz is
continuous and rather loud in some rooms. (Thus, their new slogan: "WSUA . . . it
keeps you listening in spite of the buzz") There.are problems with the transmitters, one
oneachof the five quads, that are old and sometimes break down. Parts of the campus
can never receive WSUA. The station was off the air for over a week earlier in the
semester due to malfunctioning transmitters. And of course WSU A is not stereo, often
an essential requirement for the sophisticated American music lover.
And there are complaints about music, programming.and announcers but when the
mechanical problems are ignored these complaints are nothing unusual for any radio
station anywhere in the country.
SA's Central Council has a committee, chaired by Rick Meckler of Dutch Quad,
that is looking into WSUA. They are waiting for results of a poll that has been
conducted through thisnewspaper, results that will at least give the committee an idea
of how much the station is being listened to and the reasons why it is not listened to
more. They will then send somekindof recommendations to Central Council which
might suggest simply waiting for the station to go FM, cutting its budget, or,
conceivably, eliminating it altogether.
The discussion going on around the campus and in the WSU A committee should be
seen in context, however. It is not a simple case of a $20,000 budget being used to make
only two hundred people happy (surely a conservative estimate). An F M station on this
campus, especially if it is stereo FM, has amazing possibilities for student
involvement, entertainment and education. It could reach thousands of Albany
residents, and all SUN YA students. And weakening the present station is precisely the
thing to do if one wants to keep it from going FM.
Some judgements will have to be made. A large monetary investment has already
gone into the station, many students are receiving invaluable experience by working
for it, some students are enjoying listening to it, and some kind of investment will be
necessary if there istobe any hope for going FM. At the same time these advantages and
the possibility, of F M must be weighed against the continued expense of student tax
money to keep thestationgoingat the present level,which might not be worth doing
very long.
The key issue in determining all this is the lengthof time that it will take for the station
to get an F M liscence. And the answer is unknown. For the WSUA staff, or the FCC,
or Mr. Squatriglia, the Assistant to the Dean of Student Affairs who is advising the
station, or F M Associates, a company recently employed by WSU A which specializes
in helping campus radio stations go FM, it is impossible to predict when the
application will be processed. The Federal Communications Commission is not
consistent in its behavior in these matters, and asking for a firm date from WSUA is
simply unfair.

Bill drove down a side street and turned on the radio: "—thefinalfrontier. These are the
voyages of the Starship Enterprise; its five year mission: to explore strange worlds, to seek out
new life and new civilizations. TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO MAN—".
The newspaper was waiting for him on his stoop when he arrived.
Bill poured himself a tumbler full of bourbon and sank into his reclining lounge chair. All the

Bill felt mildly annoyed, as if a familiar travelling salesman had burst into hisapartment without
knocking. The smudgy sky darkened. He stuffed the advertisement in the ashtray and drove
downtown. He found a parking space by the police station and crossed the street to the
drugstore.
Walt was at the cash register behind a pile of pain relievers. "Fill this for me, will ya, Walt'.1"
The druggist caught the empty bottle in mid-air. They'd been drinking buddies before Walt's
marriage.
"How arc you feeling, Bill?"
"OK, I guess." He examined a carton of aspirin on the counter.
"You're eating quite a lot of this stuff these days."
"It's not dangerous, is it?"
"In moderation, my boy, in moderation. We're not as youngas we used to be. The straight and
narrow path- you know—the middle way, that's what I'd prescribe—The Golden Mean."
Bill put the aspirin box back in place. "I'm going to grab something to cat next door."
"OK, I'll bring the refill over; we're closing at five."
"Thanks."
Fat Mary's Diner was shabby on the outside and greasy on the inside. Sergeant Riordan was
nursing a cup of coffee at the counter. Bill sat beside him. "How's it going, SargeT'

"OK." Bill fidgeted with a pack of Pall Malls. "Cigarette?"
"Not for me. That stuff's poison."
"So's that coffee."
"Naw, naw...birds of a different color, a totally different color." Fat Mary wobbled over,
drying her hands on a sloprag. "What'll it be?"
"Give me a hamburger, French fries...and a salad."
"Anything to drink?"
"Yeah -I'll have a beer."
Riordan pushed an ashtray toward him. "So what's a young strapper like you doing on a
Saturday night?"
"Going to a party."
"You lucky sonuvabitch you. 1 wish I was wearing your shoes."
Fat Mary plunked a beer bottle and glass on the counter. "You stuck in that uniform all
night?"
"Yup -gotta protect the citizens. We don't take Saturday nights off." Walt walked in with the
Ritalin. Bill paid him two dollars as the hamburg was delivered.
•Got to run, Bill—I'll see you."
"OK, Walt." He rinsed down a capsule with a slug of beer.
"What's that stuff?" Riordan asked.
"My medicine."
"Poison. Taking pills at your age—what the hell's the world coming to?" Riordan drained his
cup and put on his cap. "Well, I've got to get back to work. Say hello to your father for me and

Take Note
of Bassists
by Steve Ganz and Elizabeth
Mascari
Bass Night, last Monday in the
PAC Recital Hall provided the
audience with a unique experience
into the structure, function and
sound of the double bass. The most
rarely heard solo instrument of the
orchestral ensemble was presented in
an almost comical, elaborate exhibition. David A. Cobb, teacher, composer, and performer, inspired his
corps of both music majors and
younger students from the community in a diverse program survcyingfully the limited range of Works
for the double bass.
A number of factors contributed
to our impression: the difficulty of
attuning our ears to the lower
register of the instrument; the formal
tux and tail attire of some performers, combined with the casual
format of the evening; the intentional comedy of some of the selections. The sensitivity of the instrument was best exemplified in Cobb's
interpretation of Max Bruch's Kol
Midrci. His style was both smooth
and expressive. Other works, e.g.
"Jazz on Rye" and P.D.Q. 'Bach's
"Ground Rounds" attested to
humorous aspect of the bass; and
"Boston Harbor", a contemporary
work illustrated the atonal effects
which the instrument is capable of
producing. Another novel effect was
produced at the end ofthepragram,
where 23 bassi filled the Recital Hall
stage in a series of works for bass
ensemble, two of which were composed by Cobb himself.
It was obvious that the performers

Several years ago the late Professor Paul

of Aristophanes' Lysistrata on the stage of
Page Hall.

are the essential features of this genre?
1. Old Comedy was emphatically relevant to
its own day; it dealt boldly with burning
political, moral and intellectual problems.
Many of these same problemsare still debated
today, and thus Old Comedy has much
relevance even to the twentieth century.
2. Old Comedy was uproariously funny, but
always had a serious message beneath the
coarse humor.
3. Old Comedy was intensely personal and

Aristophanes i Dove
We know preciously little about the life of
Aristophanes; even the dates of his birth and
death are not accurately known. He produced
his first play in 427 B.C. Of a total of 40 plays
only II are extant. He lived in linage of almost
constant war and of much political
turbulence. The Pcloponnesian War (431-404
B.C.), the Corinthian War (395)386 B.C.),
and the two oligarchic revolutions of 411 B.C.
and 404 B.C. all fell into his lifetime. He was
much concerned with immediate political
issues; he disliked the extreme democrats and
their hawkish foreign and military policy.
Lysistrata was performed in 411 B.C., when
the situation in Athens wasdesperatc. It is one
of Aristophanes' three peace plays. It is a
dream about peace, as preposterous and
ludicrous as it is fascinating and interesting:
the women of both Athens and Sparta.led by
Lysistrata ("Dissolver of Armies") engage in a
sex strike, i.e. they resolve to withold marital
privileges from their husbands until the latter
have concluded peace. If you would like to
know whether the plan worked go to see the

Chopin's Multi Media Musical
by Matt KaufmanandSpence Raggk)
A new and different form of
musical has opened this week at the
Ethel Barrymore Theatre, in New
York called The Night Thai Made
America Famous. The multi-mediamusical (as it is called) is a collage of
songs, written by Harry Chapin, and
v i s u a l d i s p l a y s of l i g h t s ,
choreography, slides, and scenery.
The show's objective is to present to
theaudiencea view of the past fifteen
years of U.S., history.
This nouveau style of theatre has
come under a great amount of Hack
from many theatre critics. In an
attempt to add new life to Broadway,
Cllapin-sendcavorS have been termed
egotistic, money grubbing, and just
plain foolish—a waste of time,
money, and energy. Unfortunately,
many of these descriptions are based
on hearsay, or narrow-mindedness.
I'hey do not envelope the notion that
the motives behind The Night Thai
Don't let the Administration, F.S.A.,
Health service or anyone else push yon around
Made America Famous could be
well-intentioned.
The musical is a collection of
twenty-eight songs, fourteen in each
of the two acts. Tile songs themselves
refer to various aspects of life in the
U.S.. as seen by Chapin. A standout
is the song "Battleground Hummer."

does not sing all the songs). It depicts

from the time of his birth, to winning
the medal of honor in Vietnam, and
being shot to death in a shootout. Ineluded with the songs written for the
musicals are also older, popular
c o m p o s i t i o n s , most notably
"Sniper," "Taxi." and "Cat's in the
Cradle." As a singer & song-writer.
Chapin's songs arc personal, but
within the context of the theatre, the
songs contain a new vitality and expression. Chapin's songs become
more meaningful, and realistic, with

Q: Why so different:1
G.F.: Theatre is dying. The kids of
the fifties are now the ones to fill the
theatre (thirty-five to fifty-five years
old). We tried to produce something
to put you into the theatre, and
social consciousness is now in popular music. Songwriters make us
aware and that's why we're here.

acting, coordinated use of lighting,
slides, and video cameras projecting
the actors on a screen. The success of
the show depends on the interaction
of these various forms of media—
hence the title "multi-media
musical".
Many of the Broadway critics
deplore this new format for a
musical. They argue that the show
lacks a plot, or that it's too commercial. I he show has been attacked on
its informality and it's lack of
Broadway pomp and pretentiousness. One critic said that it
provided Harry a chance to involve
his whole family in a Broadway
production (his two brothers and his
lather are in the orchestra).
Everybody seems to be overlooking
the fad that the show is simple, fun,
emotional, personal, witty, and just
plain entertaining. For the Theatre
to live, it must beable to experiment,
go in new directions, and The Night
Thai Made America Famous is a
good example of a new. living
theatre.

because he had taken ten years and ten million
dollars to complete the outside of the first two
floors. Ms. Kelbick also has no right, whatsoever,
to attribute the design of this buildingsolely to
H.H. Richardson. He was only 1 of 4
architects (the fourth architect, Issac Perry,
was entirely omitted) and only worked on the
building for a period of 10 years.
Ms. Kelbick states that it took 30 years to
complete the Capitol when in actuality it took
32 years (1867-1899). While this is a minor
inaccuracy, it is indicative of Ms. Kclbick's
misreprescntational style of writing.

appalled and disgusted when J found that
there were no swings. To alleviate this
dilemma I propose that a whole line of swings
be built across the middle of the circle. In this
way I believe wc would be developing an
under-utilized area ol the campus, creating the
type of culture that this area has been lacking.
What I mean is, not those baby winky dinky
swings, but good solid official New York City
Park Department metal swings. I believe these
swings will be made use of twenty-four hours a
day. Wc therefore hope that when the SA
plans its 1975-76 budget there will be an
appropriation for swings.

countless other comments from students who
have forgotten-thanks to training in
institutions like this one—that there exist
human beings inside the Registrar's office, and
the cafeteria.and the Bursar's office, etc., it is a
wonder that these workers can go on with their
work!
Obviously, the people who work for the
Registrar are fulfilling almost all of their
obligations, for Mi. Hagouel's case is an
exception, and unusual accident. Students,
however, are fulfilling few of their obligations
to these people—one, remembering that they
are human, and two, struggling to change the
system which discourages production and
efficiency, to a system which will encourage
the attainment of these goals.
Tommy Scherbenko
MARCH 7, 1975
Man has shown an incredibly remarkable
adaptability to both physical and mental
stress. Perhaps his most confusing adaptation
has been to the very knowledge that his
environment is deteriorating because of the
vast amounts of waste he produces. He has
managed to acknowledge the problem of
pollution and limited resources so well, that he
apparently has subconsciously displaced
himself from Ihe problem. And perhaps the
greatest champion of this self-illusion is the
college student. With great vigor and
particularity just about any student can list the
ills of the environment, from mercury in his
fish to oil on his beach; yet the same student
will retreat in genuine horror at the mere
suggestion that he may, himself, have
anything to do with the cause of pollution.
During the I960's, when the problem
surfaced its ugly head, Americans must have
realized the obvious hut distasteful solution.
Due to the limited supply of natural resources,
it was impossible for the nation to continue to
live at such ahigh standard. But the thought or
life without American necessities such as color
television seemed to be no life at all!
So we adapted. In our minds the
environmental problem became a monstrous
situation about which Walter Cronkite
woefully shook his head each night. While we
demonstrated our environmental acumen by
citing the limited remaining oil resources, we
never thought it was in any way connected
with the driving of cars without regard. By
conveniently placing one woeful solution out
of our minds, wc unwarily waltzed into the
MARCH 7, 1975
1970's.
Then a strange th ing happened. The "cause"
we had acknowledged began to show the
"effect" we had feared. Unfortunately, most
people refuse to admit that the "crunch" is still
coming.
People who refuse to admit how good
things are now. a re even blinder to the fact that
they'll become worse. The greatest advocate or
this second illusion is commercial television.
Perhaps the most powerful media ol
communication, television "makes its living"
by convincing us of our discontent la
contented man would hardly need a new
flavor of Digel!). Now. when it should be
reasonable to return to a necessity-oriented
economy, the infamous commercial
bombards us with ihe otherwise unthought of
notion that we must raise ourselves above
ignominious savagery by having our clothes
"whiter than white."
Cicero
Nearly two thousand years ago. ihe Roman
orator Cicero complained thai to live as a
gentleman in Rome, at least sixteen slaves
were necessary. We. of course, consider il
absurd that the lives of sixteen people are
necessary to make one man happy Hopefully,
it w m soon seem equally absurd for the
modern American to have untold quantity of
superfluous extravaganzas to keep himself
above a state of discontent. There will be no
barbaric hordes to relieve us of our televisions
as they did the Romans
their slaves.
Instead, wc must again adapt to a new
consciousness opposed to waste and
superfluity
There are rumors out there that some of you crazy college kids are smoking marijuana. "Not
while reading my column, they wouldn't" was my immediate reaction. And anyway, pot is illegal,
and I know you wouldn't do anything that breaks the law.
But the rumors persisted. So, as a responsible journalist should, I investigated.
Since 1 do not use any artificial drugs, I had lo seek out someone who would help me. I
followed my leads to Alvin E., a dealer over on Mercer Street, who gave me valuable insight to
the cannibus culture. I no longer need him, and anyone wanting lo know hisfullname and
address need only let me know, and we'll turn in this hippie scum.
I won't even go into how the stuff can gel you very arrested and how the copTlmovc in to bust
your dealer the exact moment you're inside buying. We'll assume you've not yet been busted.
The drug is smoked in either pipesormarijuanacigarettes called Jwannalokes. Each method
assaults a different part of the users body. First let's look at pipes.
Narcotic pipes are different than regular "professor type" briars. For drugs there are
waterpipes whose chore is to cool the marijuana smoke. This is done to overcome your body's
defense mechanisms, so that your lungs will be fooled into thinking the billowy smoke is
ordinary air. But sometimes your lungsare too smart, and they catch on to what you're doing.
Then you re forced to cough out these foreign poisons. This is called 'a good hit,' and makes the
other smokers laugh. A cruel bunch, these dopers.
And then there is a device called a 'bong.' It's a waterpipewith a longtube attached. The idea is
to draw on the bong until this tube fills up with the dense grey smoke. Then in one inhale you
suck the cloud into your body. The idea is to suddenly overwhelm your throat and lungs with
more smoke than they will normally allow to assault them. Often the bonger coughs, and
bongcoughs are long hackingaf fairs, with choking and frantic gasps for breath. Again, the other
smokers respond to his plight with laughter. These are the people the drug user considers his
friends.
The other way to get thegrampushkyinto your system is to smoke jwannalokes. These are
cigarettes rolled with pot instead of tobacco. They're smoked similarly, with the only difference
being that you don't smoke a whole jwannatoke yourself, you passuiiruundMost unsanitary.
And a s it burns down smaller and smaller, dripping of all that diseased saliva, you keep passing it
around until someone burns their fingers. That's the only rule—only after someone singes skin
tissue can the jwannatoke be put in the ashtray. Sort of aweirctult ritual, this sacrifice of human
flesh, wouldn't you agree?
What effect does this drug have on a person, for which people will risk their most precious
possession—their freedom; only to assault their body?
It 'gets you high'.
From what I've determined from interviews, shaddywaddydoodah distorts your senses,
unbalancing your perceptions of the world. This probably explains why pot smokers find
Cheech and Chong funny.
Is 'getting high' worth it?
This dread narcotic forcesyou to risk your freedom lo procure it, assaults your body when you
use il, and turns you into an out-of-touch zombie. I asked these pot smokers about this. Is this
what you're willing to pay SI8 an ounce for? I queried.
'Huh?" "Wha?" "Hey man. mellow out." 'Alvin. where'd you get this dude?" came the
replies . . .

Aviation's
New Bird:
The Superplane
by Dave Gallctry
took! Upintheskyi It's a bird! No and it's
not Superman either. This time it is a plane
and it has come back to haunt us. A huge
aircraft with swept back delta-style wings that
give us an inkling of the purpose of this threat.
This plane is theConcorde.
The Concorde is the result of a joint project
of the aircraft industries of Britain and France
designed to gain some measure of superiority
in the technology of human transportation,
for as you by now may realize, the Concorde is
a Supersonic Transport, the infamous SST.
the SST was killed by environmentalists ages
ago. Wasn't it?
No, the SST was not killed. It was only
seriously wounded and has since made a
comeback which was not wholly unexpected.
In a major Tight a couple of years ago, the
Nixon Administration was forced to back
down on the development of a U.S.-built
passenger jet able to fly faster than the speed of
sound. The major impetus for the project
came from the argument that the AngloFrench project and a Soviet entry were well
into development and that we could not afford
to lag behind.
Another reason was put forward by another
SST supporter, Sen. Henry "Scoop" Jackson
(D-Wash.). His reasons were economic as the
prime contractor for the U.S. plane was
Boeing Corporation, the largest employer in
Jackson's home state. His current image
building campaign aside, "Scoop" has been
referred to in the past as "the Senator from
Boeing."
It was pointed out by environmental experts
in the successful campaign to stop the
American SST,' that the exhaust from the
planes engines would in time destroy the
earth's vital ozone layer at high altitudes. This
would then allow unfiltered sunlight, with its
harmful radiation, to reach the surface
causing untold damage, including vastly hight
death rates from cancer, among other things..
Also considered would be the devastating
effects of the sonic "boom" that would follow
the plane on the ground wherever it went.
And so we come to the ominous
announcement this week from the Civil
Aeronautics Board (CA B) that permission has
been granted for foreign airlines to land the
foreign built and non-U.S. regulated
Concorde in New York and Washington.
As yet there is no ban on the purchase of
SST's by American-based airlines so it will not
be long before they may be a fixture of life in
this nation. Pan American Airways has a few
Concordes on order now. Of course Pan Am
and its new major stockholder, the Shah of
Iran, now have the capital to purchase the
expensive new plane, and the fuel to run them.
Pan Am, at least before the recent Iranian
purchase, had been an unofficial arm of
American diplomacy (which might account
for some of its troubles now). Recognition of a
government by Washington is usually
followed by a Pan Am route to that country.
And how would it look if the largest U.S.
overseas carrier flew obsolete sub-sonic
jetliners?
There would appear to be no simple
solution to the SST problem except perhaps
one. Probably the least likely arm of American
foreign policy, could have a major impact on
the future of the SST. That august body sits
for six months a year in the city of Albany,
New York. That's right, the New York State
Legislature, lfit bans the use of New York for
SST landings, the SST might be dealt a
crushing blow. Pan Am's world maintenance
headquarters is at JFK Airport and would be
useless. Most of the proposed SST traffic
would be headed there and would be left with
no place 10 go, except Washington and a 55
m.p.h. speed limit into Manhattan.
The Chicken and the Egg
by Pat Curran
'
"Racist!" That's a powerful and cutting label to slap on anyone. It seems the more we, black
and white, avoid each other around here, the more we think the other group is racist. Yet, the
more we associate, the more we kno w the others are racist. But then again, beneath it all is not so
much an active racist hatred as a latent sense of fear.
This week, due to a number of forthcoming events, you will probably hear much talk of
racism, or call it racial separatism. Watch how we all blame everyone but ourselves.
Chicken-and-egg analogies are overused these days, but that's one way of viewing the racial
issue on campus. Does the isolation of blacks and whites in the dining halls and the Rathskeller,
separate EOPSA and SA programming organizations, and even carpeting, cause tensions
among students?
Or do our separate backgrounds and cultures underlie every flare-up, and exacerbate
incidents which would normally pass unnoticed? To look at it yet another way, perhaps gut
racism has nothing to do with such situations, but the two camps simply take turns taking
advantage of one another, crying "racist" all the while.
Consider last semester's SA-EOPS A carpet fiasco. Now really, all this grief over a roll of rug.
Did the disagreement on the carpet purchase cause racial tension? Or was the dispute a result of
tensions? Was EOPSA trying to pull a fast one in buying the material without following SA
policies, or did SA use the incident to make an example of its minority counterpart by enforcing
a rule which it often ignores?
As long as we deal in organizations and all the picky rules which govern them, and the roles
which must be played by their leaders, communication between blacks and whites will get
nowhere.
However, at the same time, the groups' formal leaders are the most likely people to initiate
exchange between students of different races. But they are smothered in so much bureaucratic
baloney that nothing productive can be accomplished. Example: How do EOPSA and SA
officers talk about easing separatist feelings when they still haven't decided who's going to pay to
that carpeiV.
Something ought to be started pretty quick by somebody because, in the now-immortal words
of EOPSA President Fred Stokelin, "This shit has gol to come to a screeching halt."
Firstly, EOPSA and SA have to lay their cards on the carpet and get that mess settled once and
for all. Muscle-flexing can be fun, but now is the time to talk compromise on both sides.
Secondly, we need all the help we can get from all the people in this university who have the
slightest interest in breaking down racial barriers.
Students aren't the only ones affected not by any means. Nor is the problem confined to
organizations, social clubs or dining halls. Racial detachment, and blatant racism occurs in
classrooms, faculty advisors' offices, and administrative processes. Thus, faculty,
administrators, especially student affairs personnel, residence directors, bus drivers and
maintenance people, and possibly people from the Albany community all of us must take part.
Take part in what? A mass healing? A campus encbunter session? No, nothing so dramatic;
nothing so easy. This will take many years, a lot of effort, and deep commitment, but it's worth a
try. When was the last time a campus-wide effort was made to get people openly discussing
racism and separatism? When has anyone here educated whites (non-EOP) as to the purposes,
structure, the facts of that horrendoucly misunderstood and misperceived "monster," the EOP
program?
We've got to get past the "carpet issues," and the stereotypes of "dancin' and singin' niggers"
and "beer-gu/./.lin' honkies." Our collective consciousness needs a collegia! boost.

The offices of Student Association
were occupied yesterday afternoon
by about 50 members of EOPSA in
order to protest a proposed budget

group had asked for $34,000.
The eight hour long sit-in began
about noon with a steady flow into
the SA office by representatives
from EOPSA. A confrontation atmosphere was reached around one
p.m. as the protesters who now filled
the room, demanded a discussion
with
SA Comptroller Jerry
Albrecht. Albreeht attempted to
answer various questions pertaining

retreated undent barrage of heckling
and personal attack. It was later
reported that Albrecht had subsequently submitted his resignation
from the post lo be effective March
21. Dialogue ensued between Central Counil Charpcrson Lew Fidler
and the visitors until SA President
Curranarrived.
With Curran's arrival EOPSA
began to submit a series of demands,
including restoration of the $37,250
budget, greater minority representation in SA and the retraction of a
statement made last week by Curran.
Currun agreed use whal pwer he had
to satisfy each demand. After
Curran, who had agreed with EOPSA in the first place, signed a statement saying that he would propose a

that his mind had been changed and
agreed to sign a similar statement of

Council Restores EOPSA Budget To $35,650
by Edward Moser
In a confused and tumultous fourhour emergency session in a packed
Assembly Hall, Central Council
voted last night lo approve a budget
of $35,650 for EOPSA. After several
hours of voting and discussing, the
meeting was practically brought to a
halt by a wave of interruptions from
Ihe gallery and a lire alarm.
EOPSA President Fred Slokelin,
ul the meeting's start, said that in
earlier years EOPSA had been forced to solicit funds lor black events
xr.im "auxiliary organizations" like
Concert Board. The Budget Committee's "ridiculous figure of $7,800,"said Stokclin, would if
accepted force a return to such
"begging." Demanding $37,000, he

Council members Ira Birnbaum
(SA Vice President) and Ken Wax
spoke oul against the EOPSA action. "I'm pissed off by these power
tactics. I don't like to be threatened
into decisions," said Birnbaum,
deploring yesterday's occupation of
the SA office. He said that Council
Chairperson Lew Fidler had been
frightened into bucking the $37,000
request: "Lew took the opposite
stance lasl week." Fidler replied.
"What I'm scared about is hassling
over the budget. We should be
lighting the Administration, the
FSA . . . and not ourselves."
Ken Wax rejected Fidler's claim
that conflict over budgetary matters
impairs the effectiveness of SA: "giving in to pressure tactics" will
damage SA's reputation, and set a
dangerous precedent, according to
Wax.
Noisy throughout, the session disintegrated when voles and motions
