SUNY 78, CUNY 72
by Bruce Msggin
The State University of New York
All-Stars held off a late comback by
the City of University of New York
All-Stars to win the initial City-State
All-Star. Basketball Classic, 79-72,
yesterday evening at University
Gym.
The game was typical of most allstar contests. The ball players had
little time to practice with their newl; acquired teammates and it showed
throughout the game. The ga me was
close all the way as neither team was
able to break away.
The opening seconds of the con-
test set the tone of the game as the
State stars committed two easy turnovers. From then on, it was a
collection of missed shots,
overthrown passes and many fouls.
Most of the baskets came from underneath, after the missed shots. It
took almost 13 minutes before a
pretty pass was thrown.
But as the game went on and the
pace quickened, as the ballplayers
finally remembered what a basketball was. The crowd finally awakened by some good outside shooting
and some sparkling passing. Rob
Rich's (Oswego) shot with three

seconds left in the first half gave
State a 34-33 halftime lead. Bill
Curry (Brockport) and Jack. Dalton
(Oneonta) were the first half stars for
State as they scored 8 and 6 points
respectively. Harry Price led City
with 8.
The second half wasn't much
different from the first as both teams
continued to make errors. City
scored the'first six poins of the half
and looked like they might run away
with the game. State then scored the
next 12 points ttakea lead that they
would never relinquish. In the final
minutes of the game both teams
started to play some exciting basket-*
ball. City fought to conic back as
Willie Davis (Queens) and Stan
Brown (Lehman) led the charge.
Davis scored all of his 13 points in
this half and this earned him City's
MVP. City finally caught up with
State with 3:25 to play. But Mike
Panaggio (Brockport) and Ed
Robata (Geneseo) controlled the
ball, City couldn't gel the lead, and
State hung on for the victory.
City committed 23 turnovers to
State's 18, as the team that made the
least mistakes won. Dalton of
Oneonta wasState's MVP, finishing
the game with 14 points. Robotaattd
Brown shared high scoring honors,
each chipping in 16 points. Albany's
Pete Koola had 6 points and 6
rebounds.
The game was on live radio across
the state and will be seen on a
delayed basisSaturday afternoonon
public television (Channel 17 in
Albany). The game provided exposure for two conferences that normally aren't recognized. Perhpas a
tourney involving the top top learns
in each conference would be a better
show than an all-star game. It certainly would be more exciting.

Trackmen Destroy Queens, 112-32
by Jon Lafayette
On a windy day at the University
field, the Albany State track and
field team swept the field events in a
convincing 112—32 victory over
Queens College. The Queens team
was badly undermanned, and was
unable to enter even one: competitor
in many events. They (Queens) were
the last team to beat the trackmen

needed a convincing win," said

got it."
Rudy Vido.TomCleary, and Tim
Holloway placed I —2—3 in the first
event, the shot put, establishing
Stale's dominance in the field events
early. Bill Mayer and Pierre
Beauvior both cleared 11*6" in the
pole vault, despite u strong wind.
The wind also held down the distances in the long jump, triple jump,
and the high jump. Hiram Febles
won the Ion jump at I9'3" followed
by Tom Pardini at IX'II". Febles
also placed second in the triple jump
which was won by Jim Pollard with

last turn, kicking by a Queens runner
to take the mile for Albany in 4:27.
Carlo Cherubino out lasted the
three-mile field to win by 50 yards in
15:22.4. The 440 yard relay ream of
Alan Zube, Brian Donovan, Billy

The issues concerning S.A. funding arc cmcrgingas most important
in the upcoming elections for next
year's Student Association executives. Most of the already announced candidates share similar
views on funding and the majority
heavily favor mass programming as
an S.A. top priority.
Cited as a "major priority" by
many of the candidates, mass
programming gathered much support as a direct result of the recent
EOPSA budgeting situation. S.A.
Presidential candidate Bob O'Brien
expressed support for muss
programming while claiming that
EOPSA is receiving "higher priority" and slating that. "Everybody
should get their lair share." Dave
Coyne, a possible candidate, is "very
strongly" in favor for mass programmingand forcuttingback funding of
campus ethnic groups, "Student
Association is open to all students. I
refuse to believe that a student who is
white can't represent a black student.
If we accept that principle, we reject
democracy." Presidential candidate
Andy Bauman commented that
"students aren't getting their $54
worth 'and favors' limited ethnic
funding."
Another candidate for the S.A.
presidency. Ken Wax asserts that
"Too much money is going into too
lew hands". Wax also adds, "There
are some groups whose funding have
to be reassessed in the interest of fair
programming for all students. No
amount of screaming or attempted
pressure tactics should be allowed to
become an obstacle". Candidate
Kim Kreiger feels, "Mass programming should be the number one S.A.
priority for next year". She adds,
"Students are interested in partying,
concerts, movies and athletics."
Vice-Presidential candidate Joh
Lcvcnson supports mass programming. Levenson believes, "No group
deserves preferential treatment".
Rick Meckler.alsoa V.P.candidate,
sees ethnic funding important
culturally, but feels that "these
(ethnic) groups should cut their
social spending." Meckler commented, "EOPSA should receive
proportional funding."
Most of the Presidential and Vice-
kirchmayer
A&S candidate George Stein, called Albany State "a place with real
possibilities but some very serious problems." Presently he teaches
history at SUNY Binghamton.
Presidential candidates are in favor
of keeping a mandatory student tax.
Out of the five announced candidates for president, Bauman, Wax
and O'Brien support the continuation of the present $64 mandatory
tax. Kreiger, presently Services
Director for S.A., says that she
"can't take a stand either way" leaving it up to the students to decide.
Candidate Coyne believes that the
tax should become voluntary,
because it would be more "libertarian" and would "force S.A. to be
more responsive".
Meckler, a member of Central
Council and the On-Campus Student Life committee, feels that
"Programming would collapse with
a voluntary student tax". Levenson,
the S.A. Ombudsman, Central
Council member and Chairman of
the On-Campus Student Life committee is in favor of a reduced, but
still mandatory student tax. The tax
issue will decided by students
through an upcoming referendum.
A majority of the candidates also
agree on continuing the present level
of funding granted lo A.A.B. (controlling SUNYA's lntcr-collegiate
athletics). Student Assistant for
A.M.LA. and member of the OnCampus Student Life Committee,
candidate O'Brien is high on University athletics. Citing this year's growing enthusiasm for varsity and other
team sports, he points out that

Looking very much like a
younger, more handsome version of
George Gobcl, the third Arts and
Sciences Dean Candidate, Dr.
George H. Stein engaged in a give
and take process with SUNYA
yesterday. He gathered his impressions of the University, and the
University gathered its impressions
of him.
Dr. Stein, now a distinguished
teaching professor of history at
SUNY Binghamton ("it'scalled Harpur"), candidly refers to SUNYA as
"a place with real possibilities but
some very serious problems. This
should have been the flagship of the
SUNY system," he said, then
wondered aloud why Rocky used to
fly visitors over the SUNYA campus, while taking them to Stony
Brook for an actual tour.
He does not, however feel the
situation is hopeless; "1 thought you
people were in worse shape than you
really are," he said when last night's
SA Pushes Letter Rally
Against Budget Slashes
by Michael Sena
About 160 students wrote letters to their assemblymen and senators today
as part of Student Association's effort to pressure the legislature to restore
some of SUNYA's budget.
Over the last two days about 400 letters have been written.
The letter writing campaign comes as a reaction against Governor Carey's
and the smaller legislative budget for SUNY and particularly Albany State.
The legislature's budget is $804,000 less than Carey's SUNYA budget.
If the state budget remains the same, SUNYA will lose 15-19 faculty and 68 staff positions, couseling services— including career and psychological
counseling which will be cut as a result of an expected loss of 18-22 student
services members, the physical maintenance of the campus will be reduced,
the library's acquisitions will be cut by 10,000, the work of the Atomospheric
Science Research Center will be cut, and various campus center services, the
Registrar, and the Office of Student Life will be cut.
With many students gathering around the podium to dance, talk, hang-out
and enjoy the warm spring day, SA decided to have the letter writing
campaign outside.
Comments by students were mixed with jest as spirits were high because of
the seventy degree spring weather. Student Gene Burgers said; "Lately, I've
tried to become socially active— this cause warrants social activityindividual activitymay not have a great effect but in the mass it docs. 1 want
my legislator to try to find alternate ways to face this crisis other than budget
cuts."
"They're destroying us by cutting out budget. They can't do it to us. I like
writing letters to my assemlymen — everyone should. Stuff like this,
reforming the marijuana laws, and anti-bottle bills, deserve letters," said Bill
Bishop.
Barry Cohen summed up the hope of the organizers: "I used to work down
at the legislature. If they get enough letters and know how their constituents
feel on an issue they might not want to go against it."
Some of the organizers were: Pat Sakal, Dave Coyne, and Andy Bauman.
kuehn
open meeting with students turned
to talk of the recent budget cuts,
"But appointments are being made;
that's heartening."
"He (the A&S Dean) should work
to create the best possible climate for
education," said Dr. Stein. He feels
that whoever occupies this post has
an obligation to regulate the quality
of course offerings, faculty, and
classroom experience. Stein stresses
the role of a Dean as a unifying element in the College. He emphasized
the importance of having one person
represent the collective interests of
the College divisions.
On the other hand, Ivo Lederer.
the Arts and Sciences Dean candidate who appeared on campus
March 10, was noncommittal on this
issue. Whcnasked whathesawas being the duties of such an administrator, or if there was even a
need for adean in the College of Arts
and Sciences, Lederer simply declined official comment.
When the pcrenial issue of tenure
arose, Dr. Stein got right to the
point; "Let me give you a series of
answers— the simple answers arc
just bullshit."
" I th ink most of the incompetency
in the classroom comes from not caring," said Dr. Stein. He feels that a
combination of incentives and opportunities can act as an a sort of
adrenalin to stimulate unproductive
faculty members.
Dr. Stein stressed the necessity of
having both faculty members who
arc strong in the area of teaching,
and those who specialize in research:
"Somebody has to produce
knowledge for it to be pervayed," he
said, explaining that, if not for people in research, "within five years,
thcre'd be nothing to teach."
An element of doubt was cast on
Dr. Stein's position as a serious contender for the post of Arts and
Sciences Dean by an article that
appeared in Pipe Dream, Harpur's
student newspuper. The article,
dated March 7, quoted Stein as saying that he was not giving "serious
consideration" to the position here
atSUNYAandthalhewas'Tarfrom
leaving SUNY-Binghamton."
However, Robert McFarland, a
faculty member in the School of
Graduate Studies who acted as one
of Stein's many guides during his
visit, places little importance on this
information. "At that time, nodates
had been set; no jobs had been
offered."

The office of student life has
developed two new services to aid
groups of students who formerly had
no specific on campus representation.
(
While one year ago the 700
veterans attending SUNYA had no
office to meet their special needs
there are now not one, but three
agencies aimed at helping the vet.
One of these operates under the joint
sponsorship of the office of Student
Life and the College of General
Studies, Last spring, sparkled by the
(possibility of receiving funds for this
p u r p o s e from the federal,
government's Veterans Cost of Instruction Program, the office considered setting up a specific program
to watchout for the interests of the
vet. Because of a technicality the aid
was not realized, but the idea still
seemed like a good one. A meeting of
vets was held and it was decided that
a number of things were needed, including a forum for discussion, an
outreach program which would
attempt to reach vets in the community, the circulation of information about government programs
(including legislative action) concerning the vet, assistance in completing
Veterans Administration forms, a
job referral system, and peer
counseling.

Ever hear of an integrating

it's not an unbiased immigration oflicial. Nor is it something they throw
into the cafeteria food.
Give up'.' It's just one of the many
instruments used in the Atmospheric
Sciences Research Center Weather
station at the top of Mohawk Tower.
01 course!
You sec. 1 had just happened to be
riding in the Mohawk Tower
elevator one day. for no particular
reason other than to write a story.
When the elevator slopped, I walked
up another flight of stairs until it
dawned on me that there were no
more stairs! Having nowhere to go, 1
decided to knock on the door.
The smiling, handsome face of a
brawn-hatred young man suddenly
appeared and bade mc enter. I introduced myself nnd my pruposeand
learned that the red-shirted, bluejcan clad "keeper" who stood before
me was Michael l.andin (not the actor). "I'm a senior," he said, "and,
yes, the assistant to Mr. (Ray)
Falconer. He's in charge of this but 1

data, changing the ink, and stuff like
that."
Before 1 could find out what he
meant by changing the ink, he began
his lour. The station itself takes up
all of the 24th floor with the middle
portion blocked off because of the
location of the elevators. One can see
everything for miles around just by
walking around thejrgpni.
"This is a condensation nuclei
counter." said l.andin, pointing to
something thai looked like a stereo
component complete with a hose
that extended outside. "It measures

air, such as dust, and stuff like that."
After describing its operation, he
showed me"the graph paper where a
needle was oscillating, and said.
"Right now there are 14.000 particles
per cubic centimeter in thcair." I was
understandably thunderstruck but
decided against fainting. Then I
knew what the ink was for!
"Over here is a reflected light
monitor," he continued. "It can tell
you what kinds of clouds are in the
air by the way the sun's light hits the
monitor." He described it in more
detail hut I couldn't quite grasp the
physical properties of the .explanation.
Anyway, he continued the tour by
showing me the mercurial barometer
on the wall. (A barometer, for you
uninformed, measures air pressure).
"A lot of people wouldn't think that
there is that much difference
between air pressure on the ground
and air pressure at the top of the
tower," he said. "But there is up to
4, lOths of an inch difference! That
would probably surprise some people." (It didn't surprise me in the
least!) "When weather shows on
television or radio talk o f the
barometric pressure, they give it at
sea level so it woi . be confusing."
I'h en we c a m e

the
mierobarograph. That is used to
record changes in pressure. "The
tendency of air pressure is the important thing. If this needle is rising," he
said, pointing to it, "that means a

Which means good weather. If it goes
down, we may be in for a storm or
something like that." " N o w here,"
he said, turning toward the other

Florida Trip Marked by Several Disappointments
by Raati ToWr
One hundred and forty one
students spent their Enter Vacation
in Fort Lauderdale through
arrangements made by the Cooper
203 Travel Club. Bus reservations
cost 55 dollars round trip and room
accommodations ranged from S3 to
63 dollars according to the occupancy number. Several students wound
up spending more money than they
had planned to due to a number of
unfortunate mishaps.
The trip got off to a slow start and
got progressively worse. The
students returned from their vacation sun-tanned and slightly disgruntled. Judy Lieb complained of
the buses arriving late to New York
City. Many students had arrived in
the city by 7 A.M. expecting to leave
by 7:30. There were no buses in sight
and when they did arrive they did not
depart until 8:15. Erwin Levin, who
was in charge of the bus
arrangements asserted that departure time was not scheduled until 8
A.M., contrary to what the students
believed. The students were following the trip schedule solicited by the
Cooper 205 Travel Club, which had
the departure time listed as 7:30.
Complications thickened when it
was discovered that there were not
enough seats for two students on the
bus. According to Erwin Levin he
had contracted 3 buses, each having
47 open seats. Unfortunately one of
the bus drivers saw fit to bring along
his wife and two kids and two other
bus drivers who were supposed to
have been flown to Fort Lauderdale for the return trip were also
aboard the bus. The two students
received half of their fare back and
they did not have to stand on the retturn trip
due to vacancies left
by students who had decided to fly
back to New York.
When they arrived at the Governor's Club Hotel in Fort Lauderdulc
the students were met with another
disappointment. The Governor's
Club Hotel was about 3 miles from
an affiliated hotel called the
Searanch, which was on the beach.
The Searanch, has all of the
facilities promised to the students.
There was only one catch. The shuttle bus to and from the two hotels
had stopped running onU/about four
days before the student's arrival.
Upon inquiry the Cooper 205Travel
Club later learned that the shuttle's
driver had died or something as
equally obnoxious. The students had
to either walk the three miles to the
beach or rely on public transportation. Complaints were also raised
that the Hotel was not geared for
college students, as the students were
requested to keep the noise down to
a minimum after 11:00.
The Cooper 205 Travel Club felt
that the hotel was an older,
moderate, first class hotel, just as
they had promised. Michael
Sirignano, who was in charge of the
hotel accommodations, stated that
he Would not use the hotel again, for
they had been cheated in regard to
the non-existent shuttle bus.
Despite the inconveniences of
public transportation and a lack of
night life nearby the hotel, everyone
managed to make their own good
time.
Unfortunately, on the return trip
to New York one of the buses broke
down and so two busloads of
students were delayed for about
seven hours. The biggest gripe here
was that although another bus came
to replace the broken one, the bus

Bob O'Brein gives his group funding philosophy: "The amount of

O'Brein also favors "closer control"

Ken Wax advocates "a well done,

useful guide in how the students
want their money spent." Wax adds
that the "new SA government should
look into SA groups more closely.
There are a lot of groups that have
been well over-budgeted."

"athletic events here charge no admission" and he feels students will
want this to remain next year.
Presidential hopeful Wax, a Central
Council member, University
Senalory, Senior SASU delegate
and former Finance Committee
Chairman, comments about recent
friction between A.A.B. and Central
Council; "This year there has been
an unnecessary sense of hostility
between the two groups; it's when
you sit down as people, not titles that
problems get resolved." V.P. candidate Levenson agrees with Wax
that "A.A.B. should work more
closely with S.A." adding that,
"A.A.B. has been fucked over".
The candidates have many concerns regarding SA funding and the
entire budgeting process, but these
remain centered around mass
programming. They offer these
views:
drivers refused to use the bus as it
would cost the company an extra 400
dollars. The students were nearing a
mutiny when the bus was finally
repaired, and they were forced to
travel the next four hours in 30
degree weather without any heat.
The members of the Cooper 205
Travel Club, Ernest Sprance, Erwin
Levin, Mike 'Sirignano and Tom
N ystrom maintained that the events
were simply unforeseeable mishaps
which they could have done nothing
to avoid. They had used the bus company (Allstate Bus Company) before
on their Miami trip this Christmas
and had no problems at all. They
agreed that they would use this company again, probably for trips they
plan to run next semester. They
pointed out that although none of
them went on the Fort Lauderdale
trip, they had paid representatives to
perform the same functions that they
had on the Miami trip.
Frank Jackman, who was on the
bus which did not break down on the
return trip, thought that the bus ride
was a very good deal. He would not
however use the travel club's accommodations again.
(ZNS) If there are intelligent creatures on other planets in the universe,
what do they look like? Are they green, jelly-like blobs? Do they resemble
giant insects?
Biologist Robert Bicri has written an article for American Scientist
magazine arguing that advanced, intelligent beings probably look very much
like earthlings.
Bieri says that extraterrcstials will look like us because the pathways which
evolution follows arc strictly limited.
Bieri argues that air-breathing land-roaming humanoids offer the best
solutions to deal with an earth-like environment. He states that intelligent
beings will probably have an anterior brain and closely associated sense
organs, a structure similar to the human head.
The biologist adds that the creatures will have pairs of appendages, such as
arms and legs, and hand to work with. He predicts that if and when we ever
make extraterrcstial contact, we won't be talking to creatures such as
intelligent cactus plants: we will be dealing, he says, with humanoids.

WGFM's programming format
Tills an hour almost totally with
music, interrupted by occasional
commercials, public service announcements, and news headlines.
Peak hours for commercials are in
the morning. Fewest commercials
arc heard during' late-night and early
morning hours. The music is selected
systematically, with an eye to the
current sales charts and with hindsight lo songs popular in the years
past.
Very few untried "new releases"
arc heard on WGFM, unless highly
recommended by trade magazines,
and recorded by popular, highselling artists. Songs with poor taste
or unpleasant sound are rarely
played. General policy is to play
music that young people (18-25,
largely campus inhabitants of
Albany area colleges) like to hear,
while not playing any music that a
listener would object to.
With no live human on theair.the
management of WGFM has total
control of the on-air sound. News
and commercials and even weather
reports and time-checks are all
prerecorded on tape on WGFM.

Sitting On the Carpet
In the middle of last semester. E O P S A President Fred Stokelin signed his name to a
voucher, and gave it lo Sears Department Store in payment for a carpet that presently
covers the floor of the F.OPS A office. Central Council voted at that time not to pay Tor
the carpet, partly because Stokelin's signature wasn't enough for the voucher to be
legal (it also needed S A and University approval) and partly because the purchase itself
was considered a rather extravagant (S600) use of student tax money.
That was last semester. This semester S A President Pat Curran and Central Council
members Andy Bauman (Commuters) a n d Maureen DeMaio (Indian) brought the
issue buck lo Council because it appeared that Sears would tear up the carpet and/ or
sueStokelin. EOPSA. orStudent Association. Not t h a t these were new developments,
since anyone could have forseen these possibilities six months ago. What changed was
their attitude about Council's position o n the matter. They arc concerned thai SA's
credit rating will suffer, they are concerned that the carpet will be torn up by Sears, and
they are concerned that SA might lose a costly legal suit.
Alter hours ol debate Chairperson Lew Fidler spoke on the issue, attacking Curran
lor bringing it back when there was no pending suit and no change in any facts since the
last Council vote. Council was convinced: the meeting rapidly ended.
I he logic of Fidler's position is so persuasive that it is strange that Council discussed
it lor so long, and stranger still that it was brought to them.
More puzzling, is the fact that Curran and the others didn't approach the issue of
v, helher or not SA was right and Sears was wrong, David Coyne (Commuters) pointed
out that the voucher was clearly illegal, and Sears should not have accepted it in
payment. That didn't seem relevant to Curran.
But it is.

In Washington
Shielded for three decades beneath the
American military umbrella, the European
community now wants reassurance that the
fast-moving tragedy in Southeast Asia will not
precipitate a wholesale American withdrawal
from world affairs. The British government, in
fact, h a s requested thai a regularly-scheduled
NATO foreign Ministers meeting next month
be t u r n e d
into a full-fledged
summit
conference. The reason: lo receive guarantees
that
America
will h o n o r its N A T O
commitments.
Aboul Ihe same lime lhal the British request
was cabled to Washington, one of England's
mosl influential journals The
Economist
published an editorial voicing fears a b o u l
whal the American people would learn from
their disappointments in Indochina. Ihe
editorial is interesting mostly for ils errors.
The Economist noled thai Ihe Uniled Slates
is now "templed by generalized despair aboul
us foreign policy" and that llns temptation
"must be resisted."Theeditors correctly called
us a "rattled and divided country."
I'hcy also expressed
ihe hope that
Americans will cnlinue to pursue "a policy
designed lo supporl those counlries where the
ideas of liberal and pluralist politics have
laken root, or where the conditions exisi in
which they might take root."
But the Economist then goes on to make
two lalse assumptions. First, ii declares
" I here has been a large element ol ideology in
American policy lor Ihe pasl .10 yuears,
because the emergence of Soviet power alter
l'J45 brought the issue ol ideology into the
center of world politics. I he United Slates
could have ducked ihe issue, but only by
reliring within its own frontiers. . ,"
False. We had another ullernalivc. We
could have delined our ideology differently.

Foreign Policy Reassessment
In February the Faculty Student Association Board of Directors voted to form a
priorities committee. A committee like that p u t together a report in March, 1971
suggesting a philosophical direction for FSA in addition to reviewing financing
possibilities. The 1971 report included whatthey considered two key questions that the
FSA Board must constantly answer: "Is the activity or service of benefit to the students
and faculty?" and "Is the activity properly one to be supported by FSA rather than
some other agencyT
The committee has yet to meet, for various reasons but mainly because the FSA
Hoard has been busy dealing with Student Association on issues like the board hike.
Patroon Room, Barbershop, and membership seating. But it is these very issues that
make the priorities committee needed; it is obvious that FSA is due for another selfevaluation. It has improved its financial position in recent years but some have argued
that this has not necessarily been dcsireable, at least in the manner it has been achieved.
The FSA Board of Directors should put top priority on getting that committee into
operation.

Univeriity ol New York at Albany
Stopping the Cuts
Last month the state legislature cut the already meager SUN Y budget proposed by
Governor Carey by seven a n d one-half million dollars. The Albany campus was hit
harder than the other university centers, a cut 155% greater than Binghamton. 153%
greater than Stony Brook and 103% greater than Buffalo. That Albany was singled-out
when it is improving in quality at least as fast, if not faster, than the other centers is
unbelievable.
Four hundred students have written letters to their state Senators and Assemblymen
about the general S UN Y cuts and those specific to this campus. SA has set up tables on
the quads and in front of the Campus Center to make it easier for students to write.
They tell the students the issues involved and inform them, if they don't know, who
their representitives are.
The cuts to A Ibany's budget, if enacted will be destructive not only to the educational
quality of the institution, but also to the principles of publicly-supported education.
We hope all students will write to their elected state representatives and urge them to
restore the budget cuts.

manded a small cult-like following.
When Eno left the group just before
the Stranded album, it was a clear
case of one too many captains on
board ship, and the "new" Roxy,
with Ferry in full control, took a
slightly altered course; Roxy became
an instrument for Kerry and so grew
similar in form to his solo releases,
But instead of the highly stylized rearrangement of classics, Roxy
offered highly stylized originals,
created expressly by and for Ferry
and the group.

their most successful album. The individual rati are able to stand on
their own without the added
support—or excuse, perhaps—of
"oh, it's a Roxy album", removing
them from the common aesthetic,
judging them on their own standards.
For even Roxy abandons its own
standards. Like the cars that are
designed to disintegrate as soon as
the newer models are on the road,
the manner in which each new Roxy
Music album drives those before it
into obsolescence is carefully
calculated. It isa back-wash insuring
that the audience remains alert and
the master of ceremonies remains
one step ahead of them. And that
step is the secret of Roxy's popularity and staying power. Kerry explains
it: "...musically our main development has been becoming more
genuine. There has been no hoax. It
could have gone incredibly
gimmicky cheap electronics, cheap
ideas. We're getting more musical.
We're still interested in surprising

your mind, because Cirrus never
comes near it. Argent's new release, a
concept album, has a lighter feel
than that heavy-handed rock single
they broke with about three years
ago. They have developed as
musicians since then and it shows:
there are some excellent instrumental passages on the album, notably
on the title cut and on "Trapeze". In.
fact, the whole record is heavily instrumental and this is its saving
grace.
The circus is a rich subject for an
album theme, and for a really fine
job check out Nektar's Down To
Earth. Argent, however, prefers to
concentrate on the circus as a
metaphor for life, and the result is
vague and cliche-ridden.
The vocals work well on "Clown"
and "Trapeze" but "Circus", the
opener, force-feeds the lyrics and

As any chessplayer can tell you,
the worst possible feeling comes
from losing a won game. And where
can wc lake out our frustrations, by
throwing the pieces across the room,
(actually, 1 once hit my opponent
with my pen after running out of
time in a n easy winning position).
However, the best way is just by killing your next opponent over the
chessboard. The following game was
played in the 4th round of last
November's Atlantic Open and lwas
really pissed off at losing my
previous game. So 1 played lor a
kingsidc attack from the beginning,
one of the only times I have ever
done this.

'Eric Clapton has mellowed out. After being
with many bands in the past ten years, heroin
addiction, and almost unconquerable shyness,
Eric Clapton has come out with his second
album within the year, One in Every Crowd.
• ' It is punctuated by great production and
sound, enhancing the enjoyment of the record.
It is no strain to hear all the good music made
by the members of the band, which aids Clap;.
ton in mellowing out the listener. There are
only a few really upbeat trucks, and the slower,
quieter music predominates, as it did on 461
Ocean Boulevard, showing Clapton's newfound quietness, and relaxation. All the
drigihalcornpositions are measured and quiet.
Two spirituals open up side one. "We've
Been Told (Jesus Coming Soon)." features
Clapton with some sparkling dobro, and
Yvonne Elliman with excellent high soprano
vocals. It is a toe tapping song with a good
feeling in the music, a sharp contrast to the
words, which tell of the collapse of society and
the arrival of Jesus. "Swing Low Sweet
Chariot" is done in a funky, original way with
a sweet, whispered harmony vocal of Elliman.
Carl Radio's bass, excellent throughout the
album, was exceptionally powerful and clear
in this song.
Saturday, April 19
He's much more interested in the interplay
of several instruments and voices than in his
earlier music. There arc two female vocalists,
and they are heard as often as the keyboards
and second guitar.
"The Sky is Crying" is an Elmore .lames
song and Clapton's voice sounds very blue in
tlie style of the great black blues singers when
he sings:
" I he sky is crying.
Look at the tears rolling down the street...
My baby left me this morning,
1 don't know the reason why."
His plaintive slide cries his tears lor him as
Clapton, as he always has. gels a great range of
emotion from his guitar. There isa l.ayla-likc
sound on "Singing the Blues." an upbeat
number that should make A M radio. "The only
thing wrong with it is that it is too short, en-
ding in the middle of a great guitar break.
"Pretty Blue Eyes" has a cha-cha sound and
Beatle-like harmonies making it one of the
most interesting songs on the album. Whereas
the Beatles would have thrown extras into the
vocals, Clapton fills the space with excellent
guitar, some of which was played with George
Terry.
The guitar is spare on all these songs, as are
his vocals. Clapton cuts off his words very'^
quickly, arid sings very softly, seemingly affaid
of overpowering any. other member of the
group. Hedoesn't want to step on any feet and
as he said when he was in Derek and the
Dominoes, he is just a member of the band.
Mostly, that is. Clapton definitely stands
out—his guitar is just too good to bury.
Building up tension and excitement at the
end ol a song isa trademark ofgoodmusic.no
matter how mellow, and the best exhibition of
that is on the last two songs of this album,
"High" and "Opposites." Clapton makes you
wait so long for the guitar soloes on these
songs that your fingers start to itch, but do
they shine!

Recital Hall Sets Mood for Baroque Music
r
Time for Action on Campus
The tendency on 461 Ocean Boulevard
towards spare, short guitar runs is repeated
here, but each one is well worth the wait. On
"Little Rachel" and "The Sky is Crying,"
Clapton plays some great guitar brealk-^
sharp, clear, and brand new. He is not replaying old music. One of the best parts of this
album is its freshness. It is new and creative;
Clapton is making music as good as he's ever
made.
And I shall never cease till the day I die."
"Opposites" it just a beautiful recording,
hitting a peak at the end through the use of
lyntheiirers behind the guitar, something
vihlen Clapton has not used before.
Clapton hat survived what so many rock
musicians have succumbed to: time. Group
after group has fallen by the Wayside in the last,
few years, many of which included Clapton':
Cream, Blind Faith, the Dominoes, but Clapton keeps bouncing back, living up to his
reputation as a great guitarist, and creating
new ones for himself as a singer and arranger
of just great music.
work well.
Arthur Stidlole. Ihe resident
bassoonist, took his turn as soloist,
accompanied by Ms. Tolkoff. He
performed, as listed in the program,
"Oalliard for Bassoon and Continuo" by'.liihann Ernst. We later
found out that it was not a "Oalliard
by Ernst" but simply a Sonata by J.
lirnsi Oalliard. Stidfole's style was
smooth, and his interpretation, excellent. The Sonata never slopped
I lowing and was-one of the highlights
of the evening.
The original quartet returned on
stage lor the finale: l.c I'arnasse ou
L'ApolhcosedeCorelli" by Francois
Couperin (1668-1733). Program
noles Idling Corclli's adventures
were distributed to the audience and
the listener had the freedom to individually construe Ihe images of
Corclli's actions. The work was performed with a lightness to (he credit
of all the performers.
The level of musicianship exhibited by our faculty at these informal concerts is always high: this concert was no exception. The
"warmth" emanating from the stage
almost excelled that of the heat in the
hall itself. As one member of the
audience cried out in the silence immediately following Ihe finale,
"Bravo".

Dido & Aeneas: From Epic to Opera
These two sets of dates plus the
names of two of the romantic world's
favoritefeversmay at first sight seem
incongruous. Yet, on further in-
vestigation, they turn out to be the
dates of the Roman poet Vergil, the
sub-title of book four of Vergil's
epic, the A eneid, as well as the name
of an opera, and lastly the dates of
Henry Purcell, the opera's composer.
In England, the supreme cham-
pion of music as the exaltation of
poetry was Purcell. Hit very brief
career culminated in a series of
dramatic operas dedicated to this
principle. Although Dido and
Aeneas (1689), like many other
works of English genius, reveals its
composer as highly susceptible to
various influences both native and
foreign, it is a creation unlike any
before it, and . it maintains a
sovereign superiority over any
English opera to appear since.
Henry Purcell was born in London and spent much of his early
career in the Chapel Royal, finally
attaininga position as organist there
in 1682. In addition to his famous
Dido and Aeneas, he gave careful
attention to church music and refined the use of solo voice, chorus and
orchestra. His idiom derived
something from French and Italian
influences, but his style was always
r e c o g n i z a b l y E n g l i s h . The
astonishing variety and marked individuality of Purccll's contributions
to the music world may be considered compensation lor the
shortness of his life.
Forbidden Passion
DkJo and Aeneas has been transposed Into operatic form from Vergil's epic. The above scene portrays
the death ol Dido by Tiepolo.
Dido and Aeneas was PurcelPs
only opera, in the strict sense of the
word. Like the Commonwealth
Masques it wascomposed not for the
professional stage but for school performance. Though linked closely
with the masque, it is still genuinely
operatic, in that vocal music is
predominant and dancing only takes
a subordinate place. Nahum Tate
rewrote the libretto for Purcell, and
it is wholly suitable for musical setting.
The story in its essentials is
Vergil's. Aeneas, fleeing from ruined
Troy and bound lor Latium, is
YOU CAN BUY TWO OF THESE ALBUMS FOR
LESS THAN THE PRICE OF ONE NON-STUDENT
TICKET TO FRANK ZAPPA (offer good 4-18 - 425)
driven by storm into Carthage,
where the widowed Dido reigns as
queen. Proximity leads to passion,
felt and reciprocated; but the gods
forbid thcirunion, Aeneas sails away
to fulfill hisdestiny in Italy and Dido
ends her sorrows with her own hand.
To this simple story the poet has
merely added the witches, as symbols of the malevolence of destiny,
modified the tragic ending by making Dido and victim of a broken
heart, and given Vergil's Anna the
name Belinda.
Operatic Austerity
Dido and A eneas is a masterpiece,
but certainly not flawless: yet, it will
always hold our admiration and
affection for its penetrating revelation of the profoundest secrets of
human passion. Naturally, there arc
certain differences between Vergil's
poem and Purcell's opera. Some of
these are; upon fhenppcaranceofthc
storm, the two lovers hasten back to
the town and not to the solitary
shelter of Vergil's cave, and Aeneas
receives word to leave via Mercury
sent by the witches and not by
Jupiter. Perhaps, also, the opera is
so swill moving and so simplified
due to the belief that the intensity of
tragic art is attained through spartan
concentration, through stripping
away of all flamboyant and episodic
intrigue, in fact, through bald
austerity.
For those who enjoy the beauty of
poetry and music, the double enjoyment and pleasure of both can be
theirs right here in the melroland
area. Nexl Sunday, April 20,1975, at
Siena College in l.oudonville, a
production of the opera, Dido and
Aeneas, by Henry Purcell will be
presented under the direction of the
renowned .ludson Rand.

To the Editor:
1 am writing in what will probably bea futile
attempt to correct your blind ignorance and
gross lack of taste, as displayed in the March
IK issue of the ASP.
On page three, you printed a photograph of
mc performing a dance in TELETHON 75;
your caption read "A Male Belly Dancer."
Opposite this picture you printed a
photograph of a female International student
with the caption "A Female Belly Dancer." I
would like to point out that neither of us was
in fact performing a belly dance; tlie woman
was singing and I was performing a Moroccan
Modern Dance. You will notice, incidcnlly,
thin the woman was holding a 11110011110110
and that my costume In no way resembles that
ol a Belly Dancer's.
This type dfshoddy writing is indicative ol a
mind which can think only in cliches and
stereotypes, with no consideration lor
individuality, creativity or artistic expression.
Such writing is not worthy ol tin.' name

Your Influence Counts
To the Editor;
I am writing to announce to Alumni Quad
students that the letter writing campaign to
save the SUNY budget is coming to Alumni
next week.
Students will be writing letters at tables on
dinner lines. We'll look up your legislator's
names if you're not certain of them, fry and
bring your own pen. hut if you can't, it's still all
right.
I know that there are many residents ol
Alumni who will wish to take this opportunity
to assure a fair shake for SUNY in the State
Budget. Alter all, who wants fewer Draper
buses next year'.' Who wants larger studentfaculty ratios'.' Who wants higher dorm rales'.1
Who wants a school weakened by cuts in
library and general services'.'
Remember, your participation in the letterwriting campaign—to save the SUNY
budget—will help students at this school and
state universities across the state.

To the Editor:
The opinions expressed by David Troeger
in his column "The find of the American
Century" in Tuesday's (April I5lh) .I.S/'are
similar to what I've come to expect from such
"liberals" as .lames Rcston in the New )'<»'A
Times, Troeger doesn't realize that it is the
attitude itself, that our commitment mustn't
be "in vain," that has destroyed all respect for
American foreign policy.
Does he feci that the corrupt, fascist
government ol' I'hieu is "viable?"Thieu's only
cluim to power is his backing by the American
government, which is responsible for the
imprisonment of a quarter-million of his
political opponents in American-built tiger
eages. If but one life, rather than hundreds of
thousands (American and Vietnamese) h.d
been given to support ofthispeltydictator.it
would have been in vain; not $150 billion or
"ay number of additional lives would have
changed this. The more lives and the more
APRIL 18, 1975
money that go to support repressive regimes,
be they in Indochina, Chile or anywhere: the
more that will be wasted.
As long as people like Troeger still think in
terms of American "honor" and "influence,"
the American government will feel free to
support wars and dictators wherever it
chooses. "Peace with honor" was Nixon's and
Johnson's convenient excuse for continuing
support for the governments ofThicu and Ky.
Yet Troeger still wonts the president to regain
additional warmaking power -will 'he ever
learn'.'

To the Editor:
1 am dismayed by the seeming lack of
insight and understanding on the part of your
editorial staff. I referto the editorial appearing
Robert P. Cavanaugh
in the March 20th. edition of the ASP,
Resident Assistant - State Quad
concerning next year's Quiet Hall Housing.
The editorial seems lo be under the
assumption (perhaps true for some, certainly
not for all) that the social life in one's dorm
holdsequal importance to Ihcacademicaspect
of college, for which many parents arc paying
dearly.
There can be no question of the importance
of "growing up" and learning to "interact with
others." Yet Ihe reason why interaction and
growth must occur only at all-night parties
and with kegs of beer escapesme. It seemsto
me, that a higher degree of maturity is
necessary for a sizeable group of people to
learn to interact, while not depriving any of
Iheir right to participate in whatever they
consider of hightest priority in college life—be
il partying or studying!

From fhe Cap/fa/
At the
Center of the
Public Eye
by David Lerner
The convulsive forces which resulted in the
bloody eruption at the Attica state prison
facility on September 13, 1971 treaten to
reemerge four years later. The factors of
overcrowding, inadequate rehabilitation
facilities and angry inmates are conspiring,
begging for a re-enactment of that massacre.
After a drop in the prison's population to
1,200 following the riot, the inmate
population today has swelled to 1.900.
Unfortunately, the capacity of the prison's
rehabilitation programs is only about 1,400.
The anger this time is the result of the two
convictions handed down last week in an Erie
County court against two Attica inmates
accused of killing a' prison guard during the
retaking of the prison by state police. Of the
two verdicts, both against Indians, the one
against John Hill was for murder, while the
one against Charles I'emasilicc was for the
lesser charge of attempted assault.
While social scientists will debate for years
over the precise cause of the prison revolt,
citing factors such as the temper of the times in
their theories, the unbearable overcrowding
contributed directly to the aborted action.
Following the Attica uprising, moves towards
prison reform became the vogue in New York.
The hotbed at the men's detention center in
Manhattan—the Tombs, was phased out, as
reports of the Inhuman conditions became
public Governor Carey appointed a black
c o r r e c t i o n s commissioner—Benjamin
Ward—in an attempt to attack the problems
of the prisons, and the entire penal system,
Gradual improvement seemed to have settled
over the troubled prisons, but reports indicate
now that trouble may lie ahead for New York
and its prisons.
The enigma of Attica will no doubt remain
at the center of the public eye. Toward that
end, it is important to note what has been
reported for months, but what the public
seems to havechosen to ignore—of the 43 men
who died during the state police's recapture of
the prison, 39 were killed by the state police.
Yet the Wyoming County grand jury which
turned in all the preliminary indictments
relating to Attica refused to indict even one
state police officer, but did turn in 42
indictments against 60 inmates.
Last April, a new grand jury wasempancled
in hopes of their returning indictments against
the troopers for excessive use of force.
Meanwhile, the trials will go on for the
accused inmates.
Since the news of the Attica convictions,
Malcolm Bell, the former aide to the Chief
Attica Prosecutor, Anthony Simonnetti,
accused his boss of blocking efforts to
prosecute the state police involved in the
retaking of the prison. Simonnetti has said the
second grand jury is expected to hand down
indictments against the police. That, however,
is no solace to the remaining 39 defendants.
The root of the problem which caused
Attica has not disappeared and there is no
indication that relief is on the way. Recent
laws which mandate tough judicial sentencing
are adding to the inmate rolls. In light of the
disclosures made public in recent weeks of
prosecution irregularities, of which FBI
spying into the defense's camp is a prime
example, public mistrust of the entire postAttica court battles, coupled with worsening
prison conditions, will irritate the tenuous
peace in the prisons, with nobody willing to
guess at the outcome.

Let Them Eat Cereal
The Uptown-Downtown
Phenomenon
by Debra Kaufman
by Grace Jordan
Everyone hears about the world food shortage but is anything being done? About one-half of
the world's population is living in technologically advanced countries where food is abundant,
machinery is sophisticated, economic resources are large and population growth is under
control. But for the other half, an impoverished situation exists. In Africa, there are at least ton
countries suffering famine; throughout the rest of the world another nine are threatened.
Included among this second group are countries such as India, Syria and Bolivia.
In the U.S., however, food technology and production are developed to a very high degree.
Better plant strains, fertilizers and machinery have been a great boost to productivity. Until the
energy crisis of 1973, most people assumed agrarian progress would continue us it had in the
past.
Unfortunately, energy (especially petroleum) is the foundation for many aspects of modern
farming. During the past twenty years, the a mount of energy used in producing certain foods has
tripled! Huge amounts arc also required for food processing and transportation.
In the markets of developed countries, the need to economize energy is and will affeel the
quality of the'food available. More sparing use of insecticides would not necessarily lower the
food value of a crop, but consumers must be prepared to accept fruit and vegetables which arc
less than perfect.
Why are some foods easier to produce than others? It takes two pounds of cereal to produce
one pound of poultry, four pounds of cereal for one of pork and seven pounds of cereal for a
single pound of beef. In the lesser developed countries, each person annually consumes
approximately four hundred pounds of cereal. Because of their type of diet, most of this is eaten
directly. But in the "bread basket" of the world, only one hundred fifty pounds arc consumed via
breads, cakes, breakfast cereals and the rest—a whopping 2,050 pounds is ingested through the
other foods we cat. Noted nutritionist Dr. .lean Mayer of Harvard claims that "The same amount
of food that feeds 210 Americans would feed 1500 Chinese on the Chinese diet."
It is interesting to point out that the "bread basket" countries (the U.S. and Canada) control a
larger proportion of the world's exportable grain than the Middle East does oil! Alone, America
produces 50% of the world's total wheat exports, 60% of the feed grain and 90% of the soybean
exports. We actually grow two-thirds of the world's soybeans!
To help feed the world, technology is involved in the search for finding replacements for some
basic foodstuffs.
,•
Nevertheless, the people of Indonesia, Bangladesh and the
Philippines continue to go hungry. What is going to happen as the world becomes increasingly
aware of the starving masses? Think about it the next time you reach for that second glass of
milk.

1: a government official appointed to investigate
complaints made by individuals against abuses or
My first experience with the uptown/downtown phenomenon occurred when I announced proudly to
my friends that I had just received a
teaching appointment at the Allen
Center. "The Allen who?" "The
Center for what?" were just a few ol
the responses I received. "The James
E. Allen, Jr. Collegiate Center," I
answered, articulating each word
very clearly lest my shortened form
of the name be the source of unclarity. The kind smiles and benevolent
shakes of the head indicated that the
abbreviated namewasnot the source
of the problem. I grew anxious
awaiting my official contract from
the University in fear that the uptown administration might prove to
be as unfamiliar with the Allen
Center as some of its faculty. 1 was
extraordinarily disappointed that so
few people knew about the Center,
but perhaps I was even more upset'
about the few who believed they did
know what it was. The descriptions
and functions of this four year alternative to undergraduate education
at the State University of New York
at Albany were so misunderstood
and filled with inaccuracies that even
I began to doubt such a unit could
exist and remain so totally shielded
from the uptown campus. I consoled
myself that I had not encountered a
truly representative sample of faculty members; that the ignorance 1 was
encountering was more apparent
than real.
Now after nearly a year of
teaching I am acutely aware of how
separated the two campuses really
arc. Could it be that the brainchild of
the sixties (a time of exhuberanl
economic expansion) is to be
neglected today in times of dismal
economic restraints? Are the
challenges to the academic status
quo and the calls for redefinition and
reexamination of undcrgratuate
education to be forgotten in limes of
economic crisis? If the history of
American experience teaches us
anything, and particularly the recent
history of American higher education, it is that the healthy survival of
universities and colleges depends
upon their own critical awareness,
innovation, and flexibility.
The decade of the sixties bore
witness to energetic challenges to
almost every one of our major institutions, and academia was no exception. In the wake of political
turmoil—racism, the war, sexismemerged a movement on many campuses to confront the formal,
bureaucratic and systematized
educational structures and to
transform institutions of esoteric
learning into the centers for humane
study. If the impulse for change was
partly Utopian, and if some of the innovative experiments suffered a
deserved demise, still the quest embodied a compelling truth and
offered a serious challenge. For the
movement on campuses during the
late sixties reaffirmed that education, as the word's etymology implies, is a fluid intellectual process
and not a stagnant pool of
regulations and requirements. The
challenge was thrown out to
students, faculty and administrators
alike, simply put. to work together to
recast and redefine ihe premises and
goals of the educational process.
It was out of this critical spirit that
the Allen Center was born. In the
Fall of 1972, after several years of
study and preparation, it opened its
doors to its first students, offering to
them an educational alternative to
the more traditional form of undergraduate training. Its early admissions program was designed to
relate the final year of high school
and the early college curriculum, in
an effort to eliminate theduplication
that many high school seniors experience when they enter college.
Consequently, students (but by no
means all at the Allen Center) were
permitted to apply to the Center as
juniors in high school. If accepted,
these sometimes bored, but often
highly motivated students could
complete their senior year of high
school simultaneously with their
freshman year of college.
But far more than merely a timeshortened degree program the Allen
Center was conceived as an alternate
model of undergraduate education
and as such it has sought to iniliatea
unique academic program and
capricious acts of public officials.

backgrounds are from disciplines • If you are skeptical that this is
sometimes thought to be incompatible, the curriculum provides an opportunity for people from literature,
philosophy, history and the social
sciences to combine their expertise
(and sometimes ignorance) in an effort to integrate the intellectual content ol the courses. So in a fundamental way the Allen Center's
curriculum mirrors Ihe real world in
which we live, for just as our real life
experiences do not subdivide into
disciplines, neither do ourcourses. It
is here that we approach the heart of
the Allen Center's philosophy of
education; rather than offering
saefffly a gMBueueaf vorasMi of the
Attn Canter pragma and that
problems have oeea too gHMy ignored, your sfcrptlristn Is not totally
unwarranted. Then a n , or'count,
many problems. The difficulties inherent in such a program affect
students, teachers arid administrators at different ways.
Students are sometimes overwhelmed by the responsibilities they must
bear in helping to shape their own
curriculum and in other decisionmaking processes they must assume
(students as well as faculty share
equal representation on all major
decision-making bodies). The faculty has the total responsibility for advising students as well as curriculum
development. (Oh, to be able to
teach the same course twice!)
Differences within disciplines can
make communication difficult
enough but nothing is quite comparable to the interchange difficulties among colleagues from
differmt disciplines. We encounter
communication problems C.P.
Snow never even dreamed of. Indeed, it is no easy task to remove disciplinary "blinders," (but then again
there is no sense of accomplishment
quite like the one you feel when you
have worn an argument by sheer
force of your intellectual discourse
rather than by use of prevalent disciplinary jargon). Moreover, trying
to keep abreast of your own disciplinary material while exploring
new disciplines keeps one intellectually alive but exhausted as well.
Finally, perhaps the administrative
responsibility of such ' a program
may well be most awesome. For
these interdisciplinary courses must
not only be coordinated into amajor
program , but fit into the larger university setting as well.
No one can diminish the feelings
of frustration or fatigue that accompany such an academic adventure
but then again few programs can
offer the same sense of excitement.
The challenge of this model of undergraduate education has helped us
to solve one of the most pressing
dilemmas all educations have to
face: how do you compress into a
four year program. Ihe essentials for
a lifetime of learning? At the Allen
Center we don't; what we try to offer
our students is the spirit of critical
skepticism; the intellectual agility,
the recognition that reality —
historical or present —is not as simple as we have been led to believe.
And with these perspectives, we no
longer think only in terms of four
year programs, but are free to sec
one's lifetime as a continuing education.
So let's be done with the uptown/downtown phenomenon.
Let's not only keep our academic options open but even more importantly known. We at the State University
of New York here in Albany, have
accepted the challenge of the sixties
knowing that perhaps the seventies
need those options even more.
Higher education cannot be seen as
separate from the process of education for we are continually redefining our goals not in hopes of a final
answer but in order to suggest that
knowledge resides not in the answer
but rather in the quest.

provide a stimulating environment
for learning. With these goals in
mind the Center was planned as a
small, residential unit within the
larger university. Although our
students may register for uptown lectures, the Center's intimacy provides
a creative tension in educational
styles, permitting more personalized
faculty-student relationships and
more informal classroom
procedures. Indeed, students at the
Allen Center arc expected to share in
•peeifie formularlaatioai of
knowledge, our curriculum atteeaats
to reflect the baffling complexities
and ambiguities of life; rather than
preparing students for apeciflc
specialties, our courses attempt to
prepare' students for the rapidly
changing world in which they mutt
take their place, a world to which we
expect them to bring a critical eye
and a keen sensitivity to'the ways in
which that reality operates.
The interdisciplinary approach,
however, does more than merely
provide a salutary effect on students'
intellectual lives; it does wonders for
the faculty as well. For the most part
we have all been trained in quite
reputable but very traditional
graduate programs whose foci have
been anything but innovative. What

subject matter according to the topic

be the case, Albany State's varsity
tennis team is approaching perfection. Following an unprecedented,
undefeated, fall season in which the

the Danes enter their spring season

Tracksters Win
by Jon Lafayette
It all came down to the last event
for the track team in Wednesday's
meet against Williams at the University field. A scoring mistake of two
points made the score seem even
closer than it was at the end.
Williams opened the meet by taking the 440 yard relay as a mistake
caused an Albany pass to go outside
the passing zone, disqualifying the
team. RudyVidoputtheshot49T/5"
to make the score Williams 8,
Albany 6. Brian Davis won the mile
in 4:22.8, with Tom Ryan second in
4:25.4 but the scorer only gave
Albany 6 points (points are awarded
5 for first place, 3 for second, and 1
for third in a dual meet) instead of
the eight they had won, making the
score Albany 12, Williams 9. This
error would notbenoticeduntilafter
the meet with the two points missing
all through the running score until
the end.
Dave Cole took the 120 yard high
hurdles, but a mix-up between the
timers and the starters meant no time
was taken. Coach Bob Munsey
thought that "Cole's time was
probably excellent because the race
was very tight, about six inches at the
finish." Tom Pardini took the long
jumpwitha leapof207"with Hiram
Febles third. Jim Holloway then
took thediscus by throwing it 133'1".
Brian Davis won the 880 in 1:59.6,
scoring a double (he also took the
mile) but again Albany would be
hurt in the sprints. Two Williams
runners, Dave I'arker and Michael
Reed, beal Art Bedford in the 440,
Joe Newsomeand Regan Miller beat
Albany's Alan Zube in the UK) yard

Harris of Williams went 1-2 over
Roger 1'hillips in the 440 yard intermediate hurdles. Stale's Gary
Johnson finished second in the 220
which was won by William's Newsome, and Bill Mayer and Pierre
Beuvoir captured second and third
in the pole vault. Albany still trailed
(they thought) by 12, 57 to 45.
Albany got tough, winning four of
the next five events. Tom Clettry
threw the javelin I74'6" and Perry
Hoeltzel threw it I59'2to take 1-2 in
that event. Carlo Cheribino and
Chris Burns tied in the two mile,
erasing the Williams lead and putting Albany up by 2 at 61-59. Bob
Malone collected 5 big points by
winning the high jump at 6'0", with
Williams coming in second and
third. The lead was now 3 points
with only the mile and the triple
jump remaining.
Williams took the relay, gathering
all five points in that event to put
Albany in the hole, down by two. All
eyes were on the triple jump area
where State's Jim Pollard was first
followed by two Williams men with
one jump left. In that order,
everyone thought, Albany would
lose by one. H iram Febles' last jump
of 42'H" won the event to give
Albany five points, and with Jim
Pollard finishing second, the final
score looked to be 74-69, No one
knew that the score was really tied
going into the triple jump so Febles
and Pollard really bore out despite
being under intense pressure.
Munsey Happy
Coach Bob Munsey said he was
"very happy, winning the closeones'
arc great." Freshman Brian Davis,
who won both the 880 and the mile
and lorn Ryan who finished second
in the mile both looked very good, as
did Dave Cole and Stu Finlon in the
hurdles. He was very happy to see
Dob Malone go 6' in the high jump,
especially after a foot injury which
bothered him all through the indoor
season. Jim Pollard and Hiram

calling Febles "a lough liltle

Willoughby Stars
But it was Willoughby's bat which
was the key to the Danes' 6-5 win
over RPI on Monday. He lashed out
three singles and drove in two runs in
that contest to back up a fine initial
pitching effort by Sowalskic.
The Danes had scored single runs
in the second (on Jeff Breglio's
squeeze bunt) and third (on
Willoughby's rbi single) to lead 2-0.
The Engineers then cut the gap to

Sowalskic closed the door. "That

days)," said the righty.
Sowalskic Tires
Sowalskic tired in the seventh and
was replaced by Kronenbergcr who
did a superb mop up job in picking
up his first save of the young season.
Nelson also tended a hand with a
fantastic diving catch in deep right
late in the game.
So, the Danes are off until Tuesday when they face Hartwick in a

Brockport Edges SUckmen
by Craig Bell
, In a game that saw the Great
Danes lead by as many as three and
trail by as many as four, the Albany
lacrosse team dropped their first
game of the season 11 -10 to the very
tough Brockport team.
The Golden Eagles opened to
scoring in the first quarter as attackman Ken Balslou scored on the
end of a fast break. Dennis Walsh
got the Danes even two minutes
later, and then put them ahead with
an underhandcr blast at 12:03. Pete
Connor assisted on the play, while
the Danes enjoyed a two man advan~
tage. Brockport's leading scorer
Steve Martucello converted on a
nice pass from Balslou to tie the
score at two all at the end of one
quarter.
Albany seemed unsettled early.
They weren't controlling the ground
ball as they had againstOswego and
weren't taking advantage of their
man up opportunities. Twice in the
early going State was two men up
and couldn't put the ball in the net.
Midfielder Tom Jcffcries took advantage of a breakdown on a State
clear to start the second quarter and
scored to put Brockport ahead 3-2.
State came roaring back on goals by
Goggin, twice and SchausSchaus to

take a 5-2 halftime lead.
Brockport came out fired up in the
third quarter and quickly showed
why Dane coach Armstrong likens
them to the Brockport team of two
years past that went all the way.
(ECAC division 111 champs) Tom
Jefferies opened the scoring after
Wulkiewicz had blocked the original
shop. Then Ken Balslou picked up a
loose ball off a rebound of a missed
shot and loped around the left side
for the score. Wulkiewicz had
stopped two shots previous to that.
Then all hell broke loose as
Brockport hit the nets lour more
times in the third quarter lor a 9-5
lead at the end of three quarters.
Albany opened the fourth quarter
with 3 unanswered goals and trimmed the Brockport lead to 9-8.

SASU Meeting Held
by Carl Hudson
The Student Association of the
State University(SASU) held a conference this past weekend at the
SUNY Agriculture and Technical
School in Canton, New York. The
meeting was highlighted by the
demands of two affirmative action
caucuses, one of women and the
other by third world students.
At the same time SASU sponsored a Communications Conference that was attended by student
newspaper and radio station people
from many SUNY schools
throughout the state.
The two caucuses presented a
policy statement that included
changes in SASU's by-laws. They
read in part:"Affirmative Action isa
positive plan to implement a policy
which actively opposes racism and
sexism . . . we recognize that we
must ourselves make certain changes
in our policies and in house
procedures and that this is the
elementary step in furthering a
program of Affirmative Action both
within the SUNY system and the
isocicty as a whole."
Though the affirmative action
proposals were at first discussed in
an atmosphere of tension and
parliamentary confusion, the SASU
delegate assembly did approve parts
of a substitute affirmative action
proposal written by a group of people including Linda Kaboolian, a
SUNYA representative. The
proposal requires that various
measures be taken to insure proper
third world and women representation in SASU. Other proposals will
beclisciisscd in the future, but by the
end of the meeting it was felt that a
major step was taken and thai the
organization would survive it.
SASU is a private organization
that is alp, in effect, a student
organization under the auspices of
SUNY Central, and the Student
Assembly.
I bcStudcnt Assembly and SASU
are separate organizations consisting of the same persons in the
same positions, with rare exceptions,
SASU exists because SUNY Central
will not recognize nor fund an
organization that lobbies and
therefore could endanger SUNY's
tax-exempt status.
SASU is funded through mankuehn

Most Candidates Support NYPIRG
by Daniel Gaines
Most candidates in next week's
SA election support the concept of
NYPIRG, but II lew object to
students being the ones to finance it.
In other developments, David
Coyne has dropped out of the SA
Presidcntialracc, indicating that he
supported Andy Bauman for the job.
The candidates competing for the
lop spot are now Andy Bauman,
Kim Kreiger, Spenser Livingston),
Robert O'Brien, and Ken Wax.
Nathan Salant, while on the ballot,
says his canadacy is "up in Ihe air".
There are two Vice-Presidential candidates: Rick Mecklcr and Jon
l.evenson.
Presidential candidate Ken Wax
opposed having the referendum at
all. "I didn't like the way it was worded." he said, "and its all-or-nothing
nature. Student mandatory tax
money is raised by students and for
students . . . I'd like to sec the
money slay on campus." Rick
Mecklcr, a Veep candidate, said that
PIRG is "an excellent idea" and explained that the group proved Ihe
referendum was necessary because
there was no other way for that six
NYPIRG Referendum
Decided By SA Ballot
by Daniel Gaines
A NYPIRG (New York Public Interest Research Group) referendum
will be on the ballot in next week's
SA elections that, if passed, would
provide foran increase in the student
tax fee of one dollar per semester and
an equal amount to be drawn from
elsewhere in the SA budget, to total
an estimated $36,000 Albany NYPIRG budget that would be
guaranteed for two years. This
assumes that the mandatory student
tax fee will be reapproved by the
students in a separate referendum
next week.
To be binding the referendum will
need twenty percent of the students
eligible to vote. The only groups to
get more money this year than what
NYPIRG will probably receive are
the intercollegiate sports board, the
AABand Concert Hoard.
Albany NYPRIG Chairperson
Arthur Mnlkin said: "I'm positive
that if a student understands PIRG
he will vole 'yes'."
A similar referendum was
defeated last week at SUNY
Bingltamtoo by ninety-nine votes.
I'llc student government there and
the newpaper, the Pipe Dream, were
both against the referendum partly
because of the tactics that were
thought to be unethical. At SUNY
Buffalo NYPRIG fought unsuccessfully against a clause in the
SA constitution there banning binding financial referendum*. Ilulfalo's student newspaper, the Spectrum quoted Ihe SA President
Michelle Smith us saying thin "NY PIRG is playing politics while claiming idealism,"and thai ihe group was
trying to gel its money by "sneaking
through the back door". Smith was
an original NYPIRG supporter.
SUN YA's PIRG was organised in
Ihe fall of 1973, inspired by a speech
given by Ralph Nader the spring
before. Among its first organizers
were present SA President Pill
Cumin and Ihe SA Supreme Court
Chief Justice Palti Maslinoli.
SUNYA PIRG encountered great
difficulties in getting a line on the
University bill for a voluntary two
dollar PIRG fee. SUNY Central
ruled that collecting for PIRG was
improper use of state resources.
SUNYA PIRG students have
compared prescription drug prices in
an effort to aid NYPlRG'sefforts to
allow pharmacists to udvertise. During the height of the gas shortage
SUNYA students surveyed seventy
Albany-area gas stations and found
wide price discrepancies and many
violations of the tew.SUNYA PIRG
has regularly done grocery surveys.
NYPIRG compiled a massive
profile project of all state Icgilators
lasl year. They have published a
separate booklet on each legislator,
compiling their votes and views. The
booklets have been used extensively
by researchers in government,
education and by lobbyists.

financial committment to be made.
Mecklcr thought PIRG surveys were
helpful to.students, and went on to
say that he didn't mind NYPIRG
getting into social-type issues unless
they went against the feelings of
students. Mecklersaid he would vote
in favor of the referendum.
Candidates O'Brien and Bauman
said they would vote yes also. "I can't
see how someone couldn't agree,"
said Bauman about the philosophy
behind PIRG. "Students are among
the more enlightened partsof society
and therefore they have the responsibility to help improve it,"
PIRG Idea Favorable
O'Brien said that he was "generally favorable" lo the idea of PIRG.
He urged students to vote yes
because of the information PIRG
makes available to them. "I'm very
much against the public getting
duped," he said, also warning the
PIRG should always "Be applicable
to the average student."
Kim Kricger said she would vote
"no" bul said she could easily work
with u large semi-independent
N Y PR IG organization. " Ihe money
is a major consideration," she said.
Kreiger commented: "I'm one of
those people who think Ralph Nader
is u sebmuck".
Vice-Presidential candidate Jon
Lcvcnson said he was agaisnt any increase In student tax. "PIRG has
dope a lot of good things, " said
Levenson, but said students must
ask whether "we want to give them
enough breathing space to show us
whal they can do," or whether they
should be judged year by year, making them devote resources to getting
funded. Lcvcnson and Presidential
candidate Wax did not say how they
would vole on PIRG.
Wax said he'd give two bucks to
PIRG but was against the mandatory nature of the referendum.
"It's something you'd want PIRG to
protect you from, not promulgate,"
he said. "PIRG isa fine group," said
Wax, "but . . . the problem with
PIRG is that they're simply a cog in
the slate-wide [NYPIRG] wheel.'
EOPSA's Cultural
Phase VI Underway
by Betty Stein
Survival. EOPSA'ssixth annual cultural events week began yesterday with
this theme as a common denominator for its many events.
"We think this is significant, especially with some of the lliings that will be
happening this year . . . and next year," said Freddie Siokelin, EOPSA
President. Siokelin was referring to the potentially serious implications of
recently-made gouges in SUNYA's budget.
Cultural Phase VI, as it is officially called, is expected to climax Friday
night with ail appearance by Angela Davis. Other events will include an acupunctuie lecture and demonstration, slated for tonight; II Third World
media arts presentation, to be given tomorrow; and a talent show, set for
Wednesday.
The two concerts and Burundi Dance Company performance this
weekend are expected to draw a racially mixed audience. "White people on.
campus know whin's happening," explained Siokelin, "We've been into B.B.
King for a long lime; you all are just picking up on it."
Siokelin expects 2,001) to 3,01)0 people to take part in the week's activities,
llecited the fact that $1,000 worth of weekend meal tickets had already been
sold us an indication of this. Siokelin called I S A "great fans" of Black Week
("that's what they usually call it"), asserting that, "Any other time, we haven
hell of a hassle. They're very receptive to anything thai can be profitable."
"I'd like lo sec every week Black Week," said Stokelin, who claims "We're
only thought about when it comes around to Black Week time." He stressed
Ihe function of the event as a means ol increasing awareness; "The majority of
people oncainpus still don't know what EOPSA is." Stokelin hopes that this
can he changed; "We're always viewed as different in a negative sense, but
we've always viewed ourselves as different in a positive sense."
