AAB Surplus Frozen Pending Investigation

Coyne, who presented the budgetfreezing motion i n lieu o f an earlier
proposal which would have effectively abolish A A B . says the present
situation is inconsistent w i t h SUNY
Board of Trustees guidelines. According t o Coyne, these guidelines state
that there will be "student control of

out that the N C A A , of which

boards. This apparent conflict i i o n e

resolving this conflict by having a
student majority on A A B . "Wecan't

" I don't think I'd care lor it," said
director of Athletics Joe Garcia,
when asked what his reaction would
be to such a committee. He asserted
thai the Athletics Hoard "thoroughly
discusses policy" and that students
were in the majority during lasl
year's budget voting anyway. According lo Garcia, the idea of such a
laison committee has not yet been
formally presented to him. "I'd like
to know more about it." he said,
"Maybe it might be the best thing in

Currently, Council voles on the

is unlike other groups, whose

before such a decision is made. "We

would be one way o f increasing student control over A A B .
Garcia feels that it would be unreasonable. " I f they want that much
student control, what . . . do they

Garcia. "They [ A A B members]
represent the student body very fairly. We do not have people w i t h

this case, Coyne feels, it's "just a

Coyne praised the efficiency of

Rathskeller Wall to be Built Despite Delays
by Cynthia l l a c i n l i
Almost a year after it's incipiency,
the idea of building a full-length l i quor bar with a wall dividing the
Campus Center Rathskeller has
become a reality. Delivery of the bar,
which is being assembled in New
York City, is scheduled for next
week and construction of the partition will begin as soon as the bar is
installed. According to FSA director, E. Norbert Z a h m , the entire project should be completed in about a
month and the " p u b " ready to open
for student use at that time.
To

here at S U N Y A . Its budget o f nearly
$150,000 represents about 25 cents
o f every student tax dollar. Its
membership reflects institutional
control: sixstudentsand seven faculty members or administrators.
Student Funds
It is this non-student control of a
student-funded program that has
drawn lire from several prominent
members of student government.
Central Council Chairperson Dave
nib
The partition is lo be built along
the width of the Rathskeller, and will
mark off about one-third o f the total
room. The actual wall is to be two
thirds of the height of the room and
will share the brick pattern of the
Rathskeller columns. While functioning to separate the pub from the
rest of the Rathskeller, the wall will
be constructed so as to allow for a
free flow of drillers from the
Rathskeller Main to the pub section.
I he pah is intended to be a place
where students can go lo unwind and
to be entertained. A place which
offers a lounge-like environment,
consisting ol oak paneling, butcherblock surfaces, leather barstoolsand
bonze. Mixed tli inks, beer and wine
will be served in reasonable prices,
since the Ralhskellei Dai w ill have n
greni deal of competition from offcampus bars.
Still lo he decided upon are the
pub's opening .mil cuisine hours. As
of now, there is hope lintt the pub
will open e i i i l u i iliini lite present
Ralhskellei hours. However.a solution lo extending hours alter the
current closing lime, \2:M) a.m.
(when Ihe entire Campus Center is
locked up), has proved more difficult
and as of yet has not been solved.
Also in embryonic stages are ideas
as to what sort o f entertainment
would be desirable and appropriate
for the pub. So far suggestions have
ranged from rock groups and folk
guitarists, lo jazz combos and comedians. While much of the entertainment w i l l probably be provided by
professionals, student entertainers
who wish to gain exposure, will be
welcome lo perform.
Feelings about the outcome of the
pub, from those closely involved
with the project, arc generally
favorable. Andy Bauman, Student
Association President, whose efforts
to attain the pub became a major
part of the political platform upon
which he was elected, had this to say:
"It's going to be fantastic I I'm hoping that the pub will fill what I think
is a real void in campus life."
Basically Optimistic
FSA Director E. Norbert Zahm,
while harboring a basically oplimislie altitude aboul the bar's being built, has "reservations" aboul
the building of the partition. He feels
that
sectioning pari
of Ihe
Rathskeller us a bar area, may prove
sell-defeating, especially if il is unable to accommodate large crowds.
Another issue which might make
Zahm hesitant about the wall is the
l a d that a similar wall, which was
huilias purl of the Campus Center in
1%7, was torn down by student request aboul t w o years liner. Neil
Drown, Dean of Student Affairs,
said that the main reason for student
discontent was because there was a
strong spirit of cliquishness within
ihe confines of the wall.
I o most individuals the subject of
the Ralhskellei
is novel and
sometimes even
interesting.
However those who have brought
the plans from infancy to actuality

BEIRUT Lebanon (AP) Israeli commandos stormed ashore from rubber
boats under cover of naval gunfire early Thursday near the southern
Lebanon port city of Sidon and clashed with Palestinian guerrillas, the
guerrilla command reported. Sources said six persons were wounded in the
attack, including a guerrilla officer responsible forsecurity at the Palestinian

The sirens were wailing, getting
closer and screeching around the
corner to the accompaniment of the
screeches and groans of cars thudding into one another.
State Street was aswarm with
police cars. It was three o'clock in the
afternoon and Albany, New York
was just beginning an eighteen hour
vigil that placed the downtown district in the national spotlight.
An ambulance pulled out of a side
street with an officer in it. Patrolman
Jack Fischer had been shot trying to
stop a robberfleeinga bank hold-up.
The alleged robber turned back
down Main Street and fled into a
coffee shop. The police responded to
the call of a policeman downed with
every unit possible. Undercover
agents rushed into the area pulling
out badges to pin on their civilian
clothes and drawing the guns they
usually concealed.
Confusion prevailed. Police cars
narrowly avoided each other and
cordoned off the wrong streets. But,
still within minutes, they narrowed
their search down and when a
waitress at the Standard Sandwich
Shop pulled down the Venetian
blinds the siege began in earnest.
Albany City Police, Sheriffs
Department officers, F.B.I, agents
and Capital Police, many with
drawn revolvers, surrounded the
building as reinforcements, and
heavier weaponry began arriving on
the scene.
As they arrived, complete with M16 carbines, and tear gas guns, the
crowds were drawn to watch. The
crowds would remain throughout

Suspect Arraigned
by Andrea Her/berg
Robert M. Roscoc did not appear
nervous as the judge q uestioncd him.
Dressed for his arraignment in a
multicolored long sleeved polo shirt,
blue slacks and unlaced track shoes,
Roscoc had just been charged with
forcible theft, unlawful imprisonment and the attempted murder of
an Albany Police Officer.
"Do you understand the charges
against you?" asked Judge Thomas
W. Kccgan who presided over
yesterday's session of Albany Police
Court. Roscoc looked up from the
little podium then murmured, "I understan' what you sayin' yes.."
He was barely audible to the
media and assorted spectators as

GENEVA, Switzerland (AP) Israel and Egypt signed the U.S.-sponsorecl
Sinai pact Thursday in a brief, muted ceremony boycotted by the Soviet
Union and overshadowed by a slashing attack on the Kremlin hy Egyptian
President Anwar Sadat in Cairo. The signing, over in less than 10 minutes,
was unsmiling and businesslike. The two delegationsdid not shake ha ndsaml
their tables were arranged in a V-configuration so they would not have to face
each other directly.
Judge Kecgan's questions found
Roscoe to be a civil service employee
who lives in Washington, D.C. and
cannot afford an attorney. After appointing Albany County Public
Defender James F. Dalton us
Roscoe's counsel, Kccgan asked
whether they would allow the AP,
UPI and local cameramen theLr
desired courtroom photographs.
Following a brief conversation with
Roscoc, Dalton issued a respectful
"no."
Previous Records
Kccgan said that he will not set
bail for 48 hours in order to check
Roscoe's previous records. A
preliminary hearing is set for 10:30
Monday morning.

Undcrgrad Mary Ann Walsh stood on the hill facing the Ohio National
Guard as they fired into a crowd of Kent State students on May 4,1970. Postgrad Walsh was in Albany on August 28,1975 when a federal jury acquitted
the Guard, former Governor James Rhodesand Kent State president Robert
While of responsibility in the resulting deaths of four students and injury to
• nine others.
The memory of the shootings is still fresh to her, and still painful." 1 saw the
Guard lire. 1 didn't believe it. 1 didn't believe they really fired. They were
supposed to be blanks. It was all supposed to be a game. Nobody was goingto
get hurt."
Walsh learned just how serious the game was when told that one close
friend had been shot in the hip. As one of the plaintiffs in the case against the
slate, all that her friend got out of the incident was a limp walk.
"1 started to cry," Walsh remembered, "1 was terrified, angry. Particularly
when I found that (my friend) was hit. Numb, I felt numb. Confused."
While Walsh looked on at the shootings from her vantage point, Cathi
Hardo in 1970 was exactly where she was to be five years later, in the SUN Y
Albany Campus Center. "I was really appalled by it (the shootings); really
upset." She was a sophmore at Albany at the time,and is nowagrad student.
Hardo didn't understand why the Guard fired in the first place.
"I don't think their lives were endangered," she said. "They shouldn't even
have been armed." She expected that a Guardsman was sufficiently trained
not to fire without an absolute cause.
"The emotional temperament was incredibly high," Walsh said, almost as
if she had heard it all before. "It was incredible. I'm sure they [the Guard]
were frightened."
Like Walsh, Philip Tompkins, also at Kent State five years ago, had little
difficulty explaining the shooting. "There was good reason for sending them
up there in the first placc.'Tompkins admitted. "The students had been
violently hostile to local police and firemen, and campus security did not
come out to protect the firemen as they had promised the city they would."
The presence of the Guard itself infuriated the students and added to the
riotous mood, Tompkins said. The mood in Ohio he described as "very
hostile to the students."
One of the state's prosecutors, he said, had privately wished that the Guard
had "killed them all." Tompkins, now Albany Rhetoric and
Communications department chairman, personally "questioned very
clearly" the use of loaded rifles on the campus. It violated, he said, Defense
Department regulations concerning control of civil disorders.
As lor the training the Guard was supposed to have received, he said, "I'm
fearful of the National Guard. I would much rather trust state troopers, even
local police, in short...professionals. When the Guard comes, I'm going into
hiding."
Of a dozen students and faculty interviewed here, not one expressed
surprise that the parents of the dead and injured students lost their case
against the state. Tompkins laid the cause to the intense dislike of the
townspeople towards the students, pointing to a state grand jury report
which clearly held the students responsible for the deaths, while completely
exonerating the Guard.
Walsh expected the decision and feels only mistrust. Hardo thought that
the jurors were incapable of objectivity given the status of the defendants.
"No individual can stand against the Establishment," she said. The Supreme
Court, she feels, can be more objective, should appeals reach that level.
Aaron Horowitz was "not surprised, but not disappointed." He just knew
that was what would happen. Ellen Qzarow expected it.
Not one of the dozen was surprised . But only two of them knew what
decision il was they were expecting. They all said they knew that there was a
case going on in Ohio, but only two or three could accurately describe it.
Mosl thought it lo be a murder trial, with opinion divided over whether it was
the students or Guard on trial.
For Walsh and Tompkins, it was the end of a five year ordeal. For the
others, it was jusl one more story about "The Movement," one which predated their college careers, and one with which they say they have little
attachment.
Professor Tompkins could explain all the events satisfactorily except one,
which he repeated often, "Why did it lake them five years? I'm not one who
needs a scapegoat, but nonetheless, there was a bit of twinge... a twinge of
disappointment not so much from the verdict, but because it's been five years
and three months. Was justice done in wailing so long?"
COLONIE, N.Y. (AP) Teachers walked off the job at tile South Colonic
school district in suburban Albany Thursday, boosting to five the numbcrol
New York State districts affected by strikes. State Supreme Court Justice
John N. Pennock ordered the striking South Colonie teachers to return to
work, but there was no immediate compliance. The walkouts all stemmed
from contract disputes.

SUNYA Budget Restoration Insufficient; Positions Cut
bjr Sat Emtnon
Despite a restoration of $211,000
in the supplemental budget, drastic
reductions in SUNYA? I97S-76
bote operating budget as well as a
target reduction of $450,000 for
1976-77 have forced the university
to eliminate 63 salaried positions.
Thirty of the 63 positions are now
vacant and will not be refilled—
many of these due to last year's
$409,000 executive budget cuts. At
least nine more positions are expected to be vacated'before the end
of, this fiscal year (April 1,1976) due
to a.fair rate of turnover in nonfaculty personnel. .
The remaining 24 positions have
had to be eliminated through the dismissal of personnel. In almost all
cases the university was able to give
one year's notice to those being let
go. John Hartley, Vice President for
Management and Planning, declined to name these 24 individuals saying, "The individuals, of course, all
know themselves."
A further breakdown of these 63
positions is as follows: 11 instructional, 17 management and planning (this includes plant, security,
and administration), eight instruc-
tional support lines (secretarial services, graduate assistants, etc.), II

positions, student counseling, etc.),
six library, and 10 other (organized
research, organized activities,
general institutional service, etc.).
In addition to the loss of full time
personnel, funding for temporary
and part time services had been
reduced. Plans for reducing expense
in supplies and equipment include
centralizing copying in two centers
(the Administration and Education
buildings), which is expected to save
the university approximately. $35,000 a year. Also deferring telephone
expenses to the individual
departments is planned, which is expected to save an additional $50,000
a year.
The university is now in the
preliminary stages of preparing the
1976-77 budget, a process that includes review, criticism, a nd possible
revision by the SUNY Central Administration, the New York State
Division of Budget, and finally the
State Legislature.
Within the last week SUNYA has
received from Central Administration (by telephone) the final budget
targets for 1976-77. Included is a
workload target increase of$4IO,000
for faculty lines. This will help
provide approximately 20 additional
faculty lines, additional graduate
assistants, additional library acquisition funding, and student service
support. This increase comes about
as a result of an expected rise in FTE
(full time enrolled) students from
12,425 to 12,770.
According to Vice President
Hartley, "There's no question in our
minds that we have the demand
[SUNYA is only able to accept 40%
of its applicants], and we can easily
achieve those extra students". When
asked if the university had room for
many more students Hartley replied.
"Just barely". Full utilization will
have to be made of existing
classroom and dormitory space.
Other final budge't targets include:
—$1,096,000forincreases in fixed
costs and mandalory salary increases. $672,000 of this is targeted
for price increases while the remaining $424,000 will be taken up in mandatory salary increases. (The United

Off Campus Housing Office Finds
University Students Living Quarters Bruce Springsteen
Born to Run
by Beverly Hearn
Students closed out of the dorms
this semester will be rblc to find offcampus housing through the State
University's Off-Campus Housing
Office. Most of this housing will he
on a bus line so that a student will
have access to the State University.
Some places arc cheaper than oncumpus housing. For example, the
Wellington Hotel, in downtown
Albany, is already filled to capacity.
195 students live there presently.
Most of the Wellington's rooms are
single moms with internal baths.
There arc about 15 double rooms.
The Housing Office will not send
lists of off-campus facilities since the
list changes daily. They scud out information of a general nature such as
the booklet, "Guide to Off-Campus
Living."
Wellington Prices Competitive
The University prevailed upon the
Mayor to make the Wellington competitive in price with the University
residence hulls.
"I believe the price is right,

New Alumni House to be Completed by November
by Lois Goldstein
Work is under way for the
scheduled completion in November
1975 of the new Alumni House and
Conference Center, to be situated off
Perimeter Road between the Security Building and the physical plant.
According to Mr. John Hartley,
Vice President of Business, this project, which was started during the
Spring of 1975, will serve both the
university and the larger community
in general. The building will be used
primarily for both studentand alumni conferences.
Containing four conference
rooms. :>nc large lounge, a library, a
Rathskeller, Office of the Alumni
Association, the Office of Alumni
Affairs and a solar laboratory, the
total cost of this project will be approximately $250,000. The funding
for the Alumni House and Conference Center is coming from
several sources (these being money
raised from the Alumni Association
itself and money from other contributors). The Atmospheric Science
Center has donated a portion of the
$200,000 it was allocated by the
State Legislature, along with an
equal sum given by the Niagara
Mohawk Power Corporation for the
experimental solar energy'section of
the structure.
The need for this building arose
from the crowded conditions which I
presently exist. The most unique
item of this structure is the experimental solar roof which will
cna ble the building to be both heated
and cooled by solar energy. Fortunately, there have been no
problems to date, except for a few
minor delays due to the solar energy
unit.
Dr. Lewis Welch. Vice President
of the University state that the
architecture is to be different from
that of the rest ol'SUN YA'scampus,
because of the engagement of a new
architect and the employment of a
new design. The exterior is to have
natural wooden-siding, but the
Alumni House and Conference
Center is far enough from the other
buildings so as to avoid any conflicts
in style.
At present, the roof is being added, and preparations arc being made
lor an evaluation by the Public Service Commission and the Atmospheric Science Center, which
will soon ensue.

The New Citizen Comes to the Capitol District

For months, interested volunteers

in hopes of producing a newspaper

Feature 'be first of August
when Vol. 0, No. 0 of
The New Citizen hit
the streets.
Karl Saindon, an Albany State
senior, was one of the major coordinators of thcncwly founded paper.
Speaking casually on his back porch,
Saindon reiterated in his own words
the paper's purpose which, in part,
formally reads, "To give voice to the
everyday concerns of the ordinary
man and woman of our community
(tri-cities), the poor, the senior
citizens, the minorities, the unemployed, the many who are unrep r e s e n t e d , unheard and
frustrated . . ."

which Saindon was obviously
proud), the SUNYA history major

mentioned that he'd rather consider
the paper "a membcrof the loyal opposition" rather than just another
alternative newspaper. "I'd like to
sec a populace flavor" he added.
When asked about the political
orientation of the paper he noted
that one "can't really place a particular label on the paper" but he
followed by admitting it is "obviously a left of center paper". Saindon
was quick to add however, "we're
open to everybody . . . we do encourage different points of view."
In comparing The New Citizen to
the now defunct Washington Park
Spirit
(Albany's
alternative
newspaper), Saindon saw some
similarities and some differences.
"We're startingon the same t'ina ncial
base as the Spirit, but we don't want
to play the same role—we want to
appeal to a larger group." The 25
year old Saindon believes that the
Spirit fell on too narrow a political
line. Thus, because it appealed to
those with u radical student orientation, its base of support fell as the
number ol radicalstudcnlsdeclined.

far. about $5,700 has been raised to
finance the paper, over $ 1,000 of that
coming from individual contributions. But the major financial
boost came fro ma Quaker organization calling itself The r'imci Raising
Meeting. The group donutcd a grant
ol $4,000 to The New Citizen. According to Connie l.cet. an active
member in New Citizen affairs, the
group "gives money to what they call
worthy causes."
Although The New Citizen would
prefer to do without advertising for
financial support. Saindon admitted, "without it we couldn't
possibly last we want advertising,
we need advertising that's the important thing."
"So far." Saindon remarked,
"we've run the paper incredibly
cheaply." In large part, hcutlnhuied
this to his conscious effort of being
Irugul with available monies. Saindon sees the first six months of
operation as being the most crucial
in terms ol survival. One reader mentioned in a letter lo the editor that.
"The New Citizen statistically has.
let's say. a 10' i chance of surviving
the year."
Beginning in October. The New
Citizen plans lo begin publishing
regularly, every two weeks. Saindon
said that because it is a bi-weekly
paper, "We can't report daily news."
therefore the content of the paper
has "a more fcatiirish orientation."

CONDOMS AIRED
A San Jose, California, television
station which banned a commercial
for male contraceptives after viewers
complained, has reversed its policy
and is showing the commercial once
again.
Television station KNTV said
that, after initial complaints, hundreds of other calls poured in to the
station, asking that the condom
commercials be shown.
As a result of the San Jose experience, other T.V. stations across
the country will be offered the condom ads; a station in Cleveland,
WJAN, has already scheduled the
30-second spot.
Presently, television stations
which subscribe to the National
Association of Broadcasters code
may not air the birth control commercials. That code specifically forbids the airing of spots which plug
such things as over-the-counter contraceptives, the drinking of beer, and
even shots of the human armpit.

A Navy surgeon in Long Beach
has come up with an apparent
"miracle drug that seems to enlarge
breasts, improve your IQ and
memory, cure baldness and reverse
senility.
Captain George Hart of the US
Naval Hospital in Long Beach says
that the name of the wonder cure is
"oxygen"—plain, ordinary oxygen.
Hart has been specializing in
treating severely-burned patients
with "hyperbaric oxygenation
therapy." The therapy involved placing patients in a pressurized container of oxygen, similar to the treatment applied to a diver with the
bends.
The doctor has found, however,
that all sorts of cosmetic side effects
commonly occur—including a
rapidly improved mind and
memory, new hair growth and even
an end to impotency.
Hart laments the fact that most of
the qualities from his treatments
appeal to those he calls "the vain
people of the world ."But, he says.hc
envisions the day when corporations
might give regular treatments of
pressurized oxygen treatments to
their young executives to keep them

A group of boys and girls from the inner city who
work with police each summer to help keep city recreation areas safe and orderly.
TOPs was conceived by Eastman Kodak Company and Rochester Jobs, Inc. in 1967. It has brought
about a. greater understanding and mutual respect
between police and young people from the surrounding community.
TOPs don't have the power to make arrests, but
they learn about police by working with them. Wearing special jackets and T-shirts, they ride in squad

Police come into the neighborhood as partici-

Why does Kodak provide financial support to
TOPs? Because helping the people of Rochester

community in which the company can operate and

a new tour for .lack DeJohnelle

was formed in January o f this year,
hut saw its beginnings nearly three
years ago with a j a m in New Jersey
that included bassist Mirosluv

guitarist John Abercrombic.
Since that lime De.lohnettc and
Abercrombic have done a lot o f

During a short break in touringovei
the summer, the group replaced
hassisl Peter Warren with Mike
Richmond, a common friend of
John Abercrombic and saxaphonist
Alex Foster.
For most of the three hour show,
the group relied heavily on material
from their new (and only) album,
Cosmic Chicken, though the group
opened the concert with the title cut
from John Abercrombic's new solo
album. Timeless. The title aptly
describes the piece, being a very

that the musicians suffered at t h e '
hands of the PA system. The strain
was most noticable on Jack DeJohnelle, who became very loud and
vindictive on his drums.
. Aside from the sound system difficulties, the group did not seem as
comfortable, or at ease in the Campus Center, as compared to such
places as the Bottom Line in New
York. For the music that the group
played, a blend of Be-bop, rock, and

Campus
arc individuals welcome to use the facilities, but large students and faculty
groups come to hold parties, meetings, dances, seminars and other group
events. Last spring, the senior class picnic was held there. More than a
thousand people spent the day at Mohawk basking in both beer and in the
summer sun. Student Association planned to sponscr a concert at Mohawk
last Saturday but due to inclement weuthcr the event was rained out and
•rescheduled in the Campus Center. The concert whic featured Aztec TwoStep wasjust that, and no more. At Mohawk, the event would have been
more than just a musical happening. Aided by good weather, use of outdoor
facilities and plenty of empty wide open space, everyone would have been
able o enjoy not only the music but the day as well. The atmosphere would
have certainly been more pleasant, unstuffy and relaxing.

Surprisingly enough however, many students here have never been to
Mohawk. Although many people questioned on Saturday would have gone
to Mohawk if the concert had not been rained out, many did not even know
of its existence, and there were those who knew of Mohawk but in their two,
three, or four years here have never visited it at all. When asked how they
would feel if FSA gave up Ihe property, virtually all responses bordered on
shock and dismay. Why would they care? People generally agreed that it was
"a good place to have."
One third year student stated "I don't have a car and don't use the facilities
but other people do." Further queried, the student said that he would make
good use of a bus service chartered to run back and forth between the circle
and Mohawk. Uponquesiioningapproximalely a hundred people, responses
were running around five to one in favor of paying $.50 to $.75 if such a
service were provided.

A short drive up the Northway. just about fifteen or twenty minutes from
Ihe uptown eampus of SUNYA is exit eight, Viseher Ferry Crescent. Exiting
here and milking several turns down small, nol-often-used roads lies a piece
of land approximately 284 acres in size. This land goes under the name of
Mohawk Campus. Owned by the Faculty Student Association it is
maintained and run for the sole use of the entire university community.
The transformation is perhaps unbelievable. Foranyonc living within the
ivory towers on campus or in apartments in the noisy downtown section of
Albany it is difficult to fathom that just minutes away is real country,
unadulterated by tall, sterile buildings and congested city traffic. When all

Here, trees arc the only things that tower. In the spring and summer
months green, not white and dingy grey, is the prominent background
coloring.
When arriving one is greeted by a lagoon looming up in the distance.
People are sometimes seen with canoes und rowboals and an occasional
sailboat dots the water. In the winter it freezes over for ice skating. Ihe
lagoon, called Waker's Pond leads into the Mohawk River and the old Erie
Canill, Although stagnant and with n shallow mucky hot torn the water is not
really polluted. It isn't more than three or four feet deep in most parts and
while swimming is not encouraged here, it is great for an afternoon of
boating.
A volleyball net is up and picnic la hies are scattered at random about the
lawn. liarbeqtic space is available to complement any picnic meal. An apple
orchard grows behind the Charelte house which holds the main office and
houses the staff of Mohawk campus. Here apples grow wild and can be
picked off the trees and eaten, provided one checks to see that he is not biting
into a worm. Anyone can pick apples here and the resultant fruit makes
sumptuous apple sauce..I usl the idea of picking an apple oil a tree and eating
it without further ado pro\ ides a quiet excitement thai is missing when living
in a walkup apartment or dormitory room.
Aside from the water, large open grassy fields make up a good part of Ihe

Sporting facilities are available lor everyone's use.
Along the site of the old Brie Canal is a nature trail. One can walk lor hours

One senior who has been a regular visitor at Mohawk over the years

doesn't teach classes, it doesn't collect hills, it doesn't hassle anyone, it just

Most larger groups that come to use the Mohawk Campus facilities cannot
help but leave the place messy. The lawn is usually left strewn wilh litter by

Longhousc and the Charelte houses are the first on the list. Long range
possibilities include Ihe installation of a fireplace in the Longhousc, cross
country skis and ice skates to rem on the premises. There is even a faint
glimmer of hope Unit perhaps someday tennis courts will adorn the campus.
As of right now, there is a fireplace ill the Charelte house which is available
for small group meetings and conferences. Cross country skis and ice skales
can be rented from the physical education building on campus for use at
Mohawk.
A shorl bicycle ride away from the front lawn live Larry and Bridget
Mel.anc and their sixteen month old son Jeremy. Larry is Ihe assistani

Larry give a description of II typical day's work. Alter seeing that everyone is
up and around, he Icis the stuff know of Ihe daily priorities. He checks the

and works wilh the staff doing all Ihe general mainlaiiieiice work.
"Eleanor prescribes Ihe work I see that il gels done.", staled Larry

F.S.A. tells Eleanor what she call purchase and whal she can spend. She is
probably ihe closest liason between Mohawk and FSA.

wax the floors weekly and ihe house is available for groups planningany kind
of social function. Last winter hot chocolate and coffee was available for the
toboggoncrs and ice skalers inside the Longhousc. There was a cup for
donations which were used to replenish the drinks.
The feelings about living at Mohawk were echoed by Paul, Lucy, and
Brian. "1 love it. It's a very, very peaceful place." Brian, a second year
graduate student in counselling, said "Living here hasslowed me down. [It's]
u nice, slow easy pace."
Brian and Paul share a room in the Charelte house. Lucy has a private
apartment in buck of the house connected through a series of doors. Privacy
is mil abundant here. Although officially, Mohawk is open from ten in the

In Science Fiction
by Paul Impula
The Female M a n - Joanna Russ (Bantam)
Science fiction has traditionally been an extremely sexist form of
literature. But the New Wave of the W s , with its emphasis on social and
psychological concerns, raised the consciousness of many SF writers.
Women's liberation has become a new field of speculation and expression in
the genre.
Naturally, many of the strongest works on this new subject have come
f r o m women SF writers. The Female Man, Joanna Russ' latest novel, is a
perfect example. "Ihe author employs the form and conventions of science
fiction lo make a powerful statement on the situation of women in our
society. Male chauvinists should avoid this book. Even if it fails to cause a
sense of shame. Ihe all-too-justified bitterness will inspire fear.
The story line is based on the idea of alternate universes. The protagonist,
Joanna, finds herself in contact with different versions of herself living in
other worlds, .leannine comes from a society much like our own in the recent
past. No women's liberation movement exists, even as an intellectual

The Greek historian Herodotus has rightly been
called the "Father of History," and had a wonderful gift
for storytelling. His stones are always interesting
although they seem far-fetched and at times even incredible to a modern reader. One of Herodotus' hardlo-believe stories concerns Polycratcs. the 5th century
B.C. tyrant of Samos.
I'olyerales, Herodotus tells us, had experienced extraordinary success and prosperity. In antiquity it was
widely believed thai this caused the envy of the gods.
Polycratcs was therefore advised by his friend Amasis.
the Pharaoh of IZgypl. to avoid Ihe envy of the gods by
parting with thai one of his treasures that he valued the
most. He approved of ihe advice which he had been
given, boarded one of his many ships, and gave orders to
put lo sea. Once at sea he cast overboard a most
valuable signet-ring, an emerald set in gold.
Several clays later'a fisherman caught a fine big fish
and thought il would make a worthy present for
I'olyerales. He therefore presented it, together with
many fine compliments, to I lie tyrant, who was so pleas-

concept Janet's world lost all men through a plague many centuries ago, and
has developed a complete society made up of women. Joanna herself believes
fervently in liberation and is frustrated by the opposition, both conscious and
unaware, that she constantly meets.
The book shifts rapidly from one world to another, presenting archetypal
lersonal incidents. The characters bounce ideas off each other,
scenes and pei
surprising themselves and us as well. Ms. Russ possesses great insight into
human (male and female) psychology, and refuses to create comfortable
stock images. Thus, Whileaway, the totally female world, is not free of
violence. And when Janet first encounters a male, she is not eager to have sex.
"Don't you wonder what you're missing?' "No. and it would seem like
bestiality, anyhow." She is a natural lesbian, to the discomfort of
heterosexual Joanna.
Jeannine has been too thoroughly conditioned to her secondary role. She,
like some women in our world, is horrified by the ideas of the others. But in
her own unnamed misery and unknown desire, she demonstrates the validity
of their position. We see the workings of a rising consciousness in the
character of Laura, a teenager seduced by Janet. As she increasingly
perceives the prison of her feminine role, she daydreams of violence.
Ms. Russ is a skillful writer. With a precise touch, she illustrates time and
time again the degradation forced upon women by our society. She is too
honest, however, to indulge in pure hate. She recognizes that men too are
bound by their roles, and deserved some pity. But men, after all, are on top.
Joanna is in the worst role of all, that of the female man. She is in the truest
sense a man, capable of taking any human role.and she knows this. But she is
female, and therefore placed in a limited and inferior position.
The pain of being a female man is terrible, and must be relieved somehow,
Desperation sometimes drives Joanna to share Laura's fantasies of violence.
She declares war on men, but realizes the futility of her solitary act. Near the
end of the book, a mysterious figure named Jacl appears from a world in a
state of actual war between the sexes. Vet she is portrayed as bizarre,
inhuman, and ultimately unlikely. The closing note is more optimistic,
looking forward to a day when the novel is outdated because liberation has
been achieved.

WelLyou won't get much help in answering those ouesttons by asking women,Seem-they
play dumb on the subject, claiming that it's just a tit, and nothing more. But let's keep probing ..
by Mirli Bucclferro
I'm a chick. I don't feel like a chick, but I'm
referred to as one. A chick: a cute fluffy baby
chicken kids cuddle on Easter; a baby bird so
dumb it'd follow a vacuum cleaner if that's the
first moving thing it saw upon hatching.
But there's some consolation: I won't be a
chick forever. I'll grow up to be a hen. Feeling
cooped-up I can go to henparties and cackle
with my friends. If my chanticleer won't let me
go. I'll henpeck him till he leaves the roost with
the rest of my brood, and I'll die a lonely old
biddy. Sounds great.
Oh, you say I'm exaggerating from nothing,
that "chick" is an inoffensive slang expression
commonly used by "hip" men and women
alike—that it's a term long divorced from the
baby chicken. Well, a chick is a chick is a
chick. Call me feather-brained, but I can't
separate the word from its original referent.
How can one expect to be taken seriously if
one identifies with, or is identified with an
adorable but mindless fuzzy thing good for
petting but not much else'.'Today many young
women .ire trying to be taken seriously;
women are trying to change their dumb
breeder image.
Images are hard tochangc. They're not concrete, but are abstractions that exist in
people's minds, abstractions that arc usually
expressed with and evoked by words.
Words..."A rose by any other name would
smell as sweet." Not so. A word's connotativc
meaning transcends its denotative meaning. A
chick by any other name ... would be u
different entity. One could refer to a 21-yearold neighbor as the chick next door, the lady
next door, the broad next door, the woman
next door. This neighbor could be a Negro, a
nigger, a colored lady. Black woman. You can
change the image by changing the language.
You might say, what's the use of changing
the language when it's the attitudes of the people using the language that need to be
changed? Well, the relationship between
language and cultural attitudes, the use
another chicken metaphor, is like that
between the chicken and the egg. Cultural attitudes shape language; language shapes
cultural attitudes.
The bias in our culture against women has
shaped the language. Many words reflect
women's lower prestige. Patron and matron,
Middle English for father and mother, are
used today as: patron...of (hearts; matron...of
a jail or restroom. Governor...of a state;
governess...of children. Major...in an army;
majorette...in a drum corps. The attitude that
women are sexual objects has also colored
words that were originally parallel: a master is
one who rules; a mistress is one who is kept.
Sir...a title of respect; madam...manager of a
brothel. Call-boy...summons actors to the
stage; call-girl...is summoned to bed.
The word "chick" was shaped by and is
symptom of cultural attitudes. By
perpetuating the stereotype, by putting young
women in their place in a "cool" and subtle
way, the use of the word "chick" shapes
cultural attitudes as well.
I know I feel left out when my psych book
refers to "the child...he," "the student...he,"
"the teacher...he." Don't "she's" count for
anything? And often words such as "man" and
"mankind," which are supposed to be inclusive, sound very exclusive. "Give a kid a job
and help moldaman,"readsasubwayposter.
Erich Fromm writes that mun's "vital interests" are "life, food, access to females," etc.
If "our man in Algiers" asks "the man on the
street" who "the best man for the job" is, the
answer will probably be "a man of the people,"
or "the working man's friend." A woman is a
possibility no one considers.
Language is both a symptom and a cause of
cultural attitudes against women.' Language
can be part of a cure. When a professor uses
"he/she" instead of the continual "he," I feel
good. I feel included: 1 figure in the scheme of
things. If onefinds"he/ she" too awkward, one
can always change the word to the plural, such
as "students...they." Instead of saying "the
best man for the job," one could say "the best
person;" instead of a 12-man jury, a 12member one. It's worth the effort to
acknowledge the existence of the other half of
the population. And instead of saying "chick,"
try saying "woman."
Allow me to digress for a moment. Suppose, just suppose that tomorrow the government
announcedthat aff males would have to £ e p a part of their bodies covered in pub he le t it be
ruled obscene. All Men Shall Keep Their Kneecaps Covered comenhe decree. Oh, lean tcome
out of th7pool7my kneekini fell off! I'm so embarrassed!" What do you think the chances are
that men would adopt such an absurdity? No chance.
Or suppose, with this equality amendment and all that. Congress declares that men too shall
have to keep their bosom covered in public. Surely everyone (women included, I speculate)
would agree that governmental leaders had gone off the deep end.
So why do women comply with this unbearable law? Why haven't they organized to get it oft
1 have a hypothesis. And before you dismiss with a wave of the hand and a terse "he's crazy,"
think the matter over and see if you've a more plausible solution.
I think the CIA has iis hands in our women's breasts.
What would be a more unobtrusive way to spy on key American men? What would be a better
place to plant spying devices than in the bosom of our fine country? What place would be less
likely to be held suspect? And how would one make the charges of spying? Surely no high
government official would want to risk his political career by attacking tits? How far would Joe
McCarthy have gone with a list of alleged electronic mamillaries?
I conjecture that numerous women have been wired through and through with microphones
and infra-red camera, with extensive dossiers being compiled daily. And with every electronic tit
is planted a plastic explosive, so the women aren't about to start talking.
And at amourous times, when uncovered, these recorders get into gear and efficiently start
funneling data about the male to central information banks. And all the while, we men, like the
dupes we arc, are busy cleaning the lenses.
Something to think about, eh? Damnright,and pretty scary too. Those plastic explosivesare
pretty tempera mentaldevices.

In the coming months it will be important that till members of the university
community understand the changes that will occur al SUNYA in response to economic
pressure and new priorities. Former President Bcne/et's Select Committee on
Priorities has set up much of the groundwork lovl-.e coming rcevaluution. The normal
processes of administering resource allocations will take on a new significance with
reduced growth and will be carefully watched because there is a new president.

parts ol the university will be participating. Judging I he relative values of departmental
strength, student interest and stale-wide policy will be difficult hut al the same time,
hopefully, enthusiasm and concern for SUNYA will be a high priority in everyone's

Congress's recent cut-off of arm shipments to Turkey is a example of good intentions
gone wrong.
Although Turkey's intervention in Cyprus last year surely makes them appear to be
the iiggressors, seen from their point of view, they were saving Cyprus from & junta
controlled from Greece and thereby protecting the integrity of the original Cyprus
accord of the sixties. Greece started the crisis by supporting the coup that ousted
Murkios. and then its government fell as Turkey came in to counter the Greek Cypriot
movement. Greece owes its new democratic government to Turkey.
The reason Congress cited for halting Turkey's military supplies was their use
outside of Turkey's borders. But by that standard, Israel too should not receive
armaments. Pressures from the Greek-American lobby is.generally held responsible
for this inconsistancy: both Turkey and Israel were acting outside their borders in a
defensive action.
Turkey is not an angelic country, of course. But it s use to the United States. NATO
and. for that matter. Israel, has been underestimated. Electronic observation stations
keep careful track of what the Soviet Union is bringing into the Mediterranean Sea
through the Bosporus and what they are shipping to the Arab countries. Without
Turkey's cooperation, the U.S. would have difficulty informing Israel about Arab
military strength.
Turkey's political system is closer to democracy than most and the country has been
a loyal American ally. It is surprising they have tolerated oui abuses this long, such as
when we decided they were- the major heroin criminal in the world though they only

Some of the principles espoused by those on Capitol Hill as justification lor the arms

throughout the world and thus are applying those principles inconsistanlly. Turkey
cannot help but to feci singled-oui unfairly, and their resentment will hurt the United

higher education linds itself in a considerable
dilemma. On the one hand we have the social
ideal which developed through the course of
the 1960s: not jusl the financially capable, but

through education. At the same lime we have
the economic realities of the mid-1970s which
dictate austerity. Minority students. Tor example, who may have had their first taste of

college for the elite, college only for
those who can afford it. Ina democratic society such as ours this type of regression cannot
be tolerated. To be a democracy means to
offer equal opportunity for all, not sonic. All
in our society should have the opportunity to
rise above their station through mental and
moral development, which is precisely what
education is.
To understand the dilemma that education
linds itself in today we need only lo look at our
own school. Whereas other issues in the news
seem abstract and distant ut times this is onethai hits right ut home. One need only refer to
the letter received in the mail last month from
Ihe Dean for Student Affairs. "We have faced
and resolved a major budget crisis which
resulted in a net reduction of the campus
operating budget by some $2 million." In the
area of higher education what does this mean
for SUNYA in particular?
Due to higher and higher costs in the private
sector of education more students have cometo schools in the public sector, such as the
State University system, in hopes of receiving
a good education at a lower cost. At our
With the arrival of the 15,000 SUNYA students for the fall semester, the podium
concrete has been put to a strenuous test, and one administered without sufficient
forethought. While the concrete is being asked to support the brunt ol theacudemic
weight, scarcely a moment's reflection has been shed on the problems extant in the
maintenance of a happy, healthy podium concrete foundation.
The new T'ields administration should direct full and complete analysis to the
possibility of setting up a review panel to study and evaluate possible aid to the hard
pressed concrete floor and should issue its report forthwith to the University Senate.

Golfers Seek New Talent
by Howard M s m '
The forecast forthisyear's Albany
State Golf team is cloudy with a
chance of sunshine breaking through
later on in the season. Coming off a
dismal season of 8 wins and 9 losses,
the Dane's coach Dick Sauers said,
"I'm hoping to find some new talent
at this year's tryouts," which are
scheduled for Sept. 13 and 14.
The team's two most accomplished players, Terry Heath
and Frank Prcte, have graduated,
and only three lettermen will be
returning: senior Kevin Freed,
j u n i o r Jamie Kaufman, and
sophomore Johnny McCoy.
A great deal of pressure will be
placed on these three players if
Sauers comes up empty handed at
the tryouts.
Sauers, who always emphasizes
teamwork, looks lor men who are
willing to pull together and help one
another out whenever possible. "In
the long run, u happy and loose team
is sure to be superior to a group of
uptight individuals who arc only out
lor themselves," said Sauers.

Men
by David bevy
The defending State University of
New York Athletic Conference
(SUNYAC) champion Albany State
Tennis team, unruffled by the loss of
its first and fourth singles players to'
graduation, looks forward to
another run at the title this fall.
Though this yeur's singles line-up
has yet to be announced, the two
chief contenders for the n umber one
spot appear to he returnees Mitch
Sandler and Bob Diskin. Sandler
was the neltcrs' number two seed last
spring, while Dukin, a three-year
veteran who won the SUNYAC
crown i" number two singles last
year, was seeded third.
Fighting for the three through six
positions are Josh Connclland Dave
Denny, last year's number five and
seven, Brian Smith, up from the
•junior varsity, and transfer Dave
Beard.
In addition, there are several
freshmen looking to see action this
year. Paul Feldman. Alan Berger
and Mike Fertig should all profit
from the tutelage of the SUNYAC's
recently graduated singles chumpion, Dennis Moore, who has been
retained asan assistant coach. Along
with Head Coach Merlin Hathaway,
the former Cortland star will
attempt to fill the void left by Coach
Bob Lewis' sabbatical.
The opening team matches are
scheduled for Oswego and RPI,
Sept. Hand 15,but conflict withthc
Jewish holiday Yom Kippur may
result in postponement of the RPI
mutch.
Women
Back in 196.1, when
Peggy
Mann initiated the women's tennis
team, three girls came to try out.
Now, twelve years later, some 60
enthusiasts flooded the courts and
waited to show their talents.
Tennis is the only women's fall
semester intcrscholastic sport at
Albany State. Through the years, as
the number of participants has increased so has the quality of play,
with undefeated seasons from 19681972.
While last year proved to be
something
of
a
disappointment,Coach. Mann is optimistic about the chances of an improvement over last years'5-5 mark.
Varsity captain Louise Civitt, a
four year veteran, heads the list of
talented returnees, which also includes Eastern Collegiate Champion
Fran Schulbcrg.
According lo Coach Mann, a
talented freshman crop, led by Jane
Malay, promises to make the season
interesting and successful.
"We have no traditional or great
rival," said Coach Mann. "We get
out best competition from several
private schools, among them Vassar
and Skidmorc Colleges."
The annual highlight is the
Eastern Collegiate Championship,
slated lor October 3 and 4 in New
Paltz, with Albany allowed two
singles and two doubles teams if the
players qualify.
The team opens its sea son at home
versus New Paltz, Sept. II, at .1:30
p.m.

Great Danes: What Will They Do For An Encore?
by Nathan Salant
After a 9-0 season, featuring the
nation's number one rushing
offense, what do you do for an encore?
Such is the problem lacing Coach
Bob Ford and hisCircat Danes varsity football team as they prepare Tor
Ihcir season opener at Alfred,
September 13, and home opener ver-
sus Ithaca the following Saturday.
"We Jlave a good solid nucleus

new schedule is so much tougher
than last year that there is really no

comparison."
Indeed, the Danes have their work
cut out for them. After the openers
versus Alfred and Ithaca, the Danes
take on Springfield. Norwich,
S o u t h e r n Connecticut!, and
Albright, all perennial Division III
powers.
"I am relatively optimistic," said
lord. "We have a very strong offensive backlicld. and our defensive
tackles and linebackers are till
veterans. While wc still have a few
problems to iron out. we'll be
fielding one heck of a club next
Saturday."
Offense is Strong

The defense suffered ths loss of

defensive end Rudi Vido. the first

Ihe New England Patriots).but Ford
is more than optimistic here.
"Our defense may be stronger

created Albany football some five
years ago. "Sure, we'll miss Vido
and the others, but we've had a
successful year in recruiting
replacements, and several new
players are wailing to step in and do
the job."
ANALYSIS.- I he Danes should be
tougher than last year, and barring
injuries to key personnel, will be
capable of beating any of Ihcir opponents, despite the much improved
schedule. Ihe Alfred and Ithaca
games are the keys, as they arc an
early test ol what the Danes will have

The New York Public Interest
Research Group ( N Y P H K i ) has
commenced action in the State
Supreme Court to sue New York
legislators l o r the additional
payments (lulus) that they grunted
themselves on July I I , 1975.
The payments in question total
more than $1(00,000 and were given
to 163 of the 210 legislators on the
next to the last day o f the legislative
session.
In the press conference last
Wednesday morning, Dennis Kaufman, an attorney representing N Y P IKCi. announced that the judge had
signed the " O r d e r to Show

conference, Kaufman told reporters
that he believed Ihe payments were
hastily issued due to a new state
finance law that became effective on
September I. allowing a taxpayer to
bring suit against the legislature to
prohibit illegal expenditures of
money.
Ihe payments read to reporters
ranged from $1000 to $9,000 per
legislator, and weir paid for such
positions as being "ranking minority
member of the aging committee", as
well as to the minority whip.
Legislators are normally reimbursed for travelling expenses to and
from Albany f r o m their homes during the legislative session as often as
once a week, as well as per diem expenses while in Albany. " I h e monies
they allowed themselves are i n -
creases in salary". Kaufman said.
Prior- to instituting court action,
N Y P I R G wrote to all legislators
who received lulus, asking them to
voluntarily return themoney."None

several agreed thai Ihe payments
were in had taste."

Ihe .lames E. Allen Jr. Collegiate Center, established in 1972 us an
"experimental interdisciplinary curriculum in the Social Sciences, will be
terminated hy the end of this academic year, as a result of former university
President Louis I. Rene/el's decision last June.
Ihe decision was made alter a recommendation from the Select
Committee on Academic Priorities staled that the Allen Center was " n o t
sufficiently distinct to warrant a special program which lays claim to a
significant investment of resources."
While state budget cuts created a need for ihe removal of various degree
programs, faculty litem hers Deborah Kaufman and George L'rangos feel that
it was one ot the first programs to be cut because of its "experimental nature."
l-raiigus. a history teacher at the Allen Center, also feels that the program
suffered from a lack ol "constituency." lie explains that "the Allen Center
had no power and no friends. Many were suspicious ol a place that grew m i l
ol t he 'Mi's,"
According to Dr. Seth \V. Spellman. Dean ol ihe Allen Center, the
program was innovated between I9(>x-I972 to "establish a new college I "
admit students early, as well as to Initiate a new curriculum for
undergraduates based on the British Open University."
Originally funded h\ the Carnegie foundation "to ttdnelitike an
experimental, lime shortened degree ('Less l i m e - Mote Options
Document'), and authorized by the Hoard ol Irusiees. the James I . Allen
Center (named after the former Commissioner id b'tluviift ,M ol New York
Stale) began with 61 students mainly front ihe capital district." says Dr.
Spclhnun. As assistant to President Ucnc/el in 1970. Spellman and others
involved didn't led the program could work on the uptown campus T h e
integrity of the program could best he preserved in a new college."
Although the Allen Center is termed "college.'- il is actually an
interdisciplinary major entitled " M a n and His Institutions." According to
junior Ronnie Oslrofsky, the first two years id the program tire spent taking
i n t r o d u c t o r y courses in the Social Sciences, while the last two years deal
with the live major institutions (Lconomy, f a m i l y . Lducatmn. Government,
and Religion- Morality) and an internship." Dr. Spell man says the internship
program allows students tti "actually test what thev arc learning" out in the
"real world" through this program. Last semester, internships tune nllcred
through the New York Stale Assembly, which included positions with the
Legal Aid Society. Regional Planning. New York Court ol Claims and
various other governmental and economic agencies.
Due to lite small student-teacher rutin at the Allen Center. Dr. Spellman
explains t tl hi a "contracting system which provides students with more
program flexibility, is possible." I his system allows lite student to make any
change in a course syllabus lo suit his or her goals, "as long as it meets the
objectives ol I he course." Lor example, "otie student registered I in a course in
ihe Allen Center with ti contract t " complete Ihe objectives ol the course in
Israel."
While Ihe Select Committee on AeadcmicPriorilics was collect nyi! with a
"high attrition rale among its students." a response report by Ihe dean and
lucidly explained that leaving lite Mien Center is the equivalent ol changing a
major and "SO percent ol Sll NY A undergraduates chance their plans lor it
major during Ihe fust two years, according to a tilth crsil; College si tidy."
Only I.Vft percent ol Allen Center freshman changed then major last year.
Meanwhile, an approximate IK3 students are enrolled in lite Allen l enter
this year. Many sophomores and juniors are in the process ol changing their
major to programs offered on the main campus. A list ol equivalent courses
will lacilitale the transfer ol credits. However, as jttnioi SueSwinegar suites.
"It is difficult to switch schools or pick a new major at this point. Most
students arc going into sociology or political science because it is iheensiesi
wav to lull ill their major." Still many others feel thai ihe program should
have remained "ai least long enough lor those alreud) enrolled lo receive
Iheu degicc."

General's opinion is that these

Donald Ross, director of N Y P I R G

"because they weren't in effect lit the

Thus, in l.efkowiw's opinion, they
are new payments, and not increases." Ross found this to be ti
