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

i case) and set the hearing dale as

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

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."

Acid as Alternate Army Weapon
WASHINGTON (AP) The Army's general counsel and surgeon
general said Monday that tests it
sponsored on humans using LSD
and other hullucinogenic drugs were
part of a search for alternatives to
nuclear war but may not have been
properly authorized their first eight
years.
They testified before the House
Armed Services Comittee's investigations panel that they have
"few d o u b t s " that prescribed
medical ethics, saftety procedures
and prior-consent requirements
were violated to some degree in the
first decade of the tests, held in the
1950s and 1960s,
General counsel Charles D.
Ablard, declined to answer in open
session as to whetherthe Central
Intelligence Agency used "the result
of your research" in actual
operations in foreign countries.
Ablard said that the "motivating
factor" for the tests in the first place
was a report lo the Army surgeon
general from "a civilian doctor" on
Oct. 21, 1951 after the doctor hud
communicated "with several European medical personnel concerning
the effect of the 'cgo-depresscnt
drugs.'"
Aside from the threat to U.S.
troops the drugs presented, and their
potential use to get information
from American intelligence agents,
Ablard said the information more
significantly "indicated that an alternative to nuclear weapons might be
available, a weapon which might
render large forces helpless-but only
temporarily- and without any permanent damage to those forces and
none to their surroundings."
•Lt. Gen. Richard R. Taylor, the
Army's surgeon general said that, to
the best of his knowledge, the drugswhich at three forts, in mass field
experiments-were never used against
foreign forces. The whole research
thrust was abandoned in 1967
because of "the unpredictability" of
LSD andiother psycho-chemical
agents, he said.
Taylor said that, while "wemay be
missing some documents," the Army's investigators of the d rug-testing
program so far have found no
evidence that the portions of it involving psycho-chemical agentssuch
as LSD were properly authorized
before 1958 or'1959.

SEPTEMBER 9, 1975

The Hotel Wellington in downtown Albany has been retained by
the city of Albany and is now housing two hundred SUNYA students.
The students are mostly transfers
and upperclassmen who could not
get on-campus housing.
Atalimewhenprivatecollcgesare
in a bind to get more studentson to
their campuses, SUNYA is trying to
find alternative means of housing its
students due to over-crowding in the
dorms. Although Ihc Admissions
Office docs take into account the
number of beds available when it
accepts students, that is not the sole
criterion. Rodney Hart, Director of
Admissions, cited a number of
reasons for the housing shortage this
semester.
The Admissions Office can usual- •
ly estimate the number of beds that
will be needed each semester to
house all the students that request
on-campus housing. This year the
problem started when a greuterlhan
average (or expected) number of
upper-division students decided to
stay on campus. To hither complicate mailers, more freshmen and
transfers then expected also requested on-campus housing.
Once this problem was brought to
the intention of John Wclty. Director of Residence, he immediately
went lo work trying to find alternative means for housing ihc great
influx of new students, Welly spoke
to I'redcnl Hcnc/el who in turn discussed the problem with the Mayor.

is a quote from the Summary of

Wellington. On the list that followed
the opening statement there were
twenty four deficiencies that had
been cited, hut all of the deficiencies
are scheduled to be fixed during the

problems are called deficiencies and
not violations is because the building
as ii now stands meets all the
building code requirements set lor a

safety of the building it will remedy
these deficiencies and the buildings

renovations. The money is being
used lo paint the hold rooms, correct the above mentioned deficiencies and refurnish the main lobby.
Contrary to popular belief, all of the
money is not going to the hulfof the
building occupied by the students,
but their half is being renovated
first.
Mr. (iersowit/and Mr. Havekost,

this is a city operation. The city did

reason that they gave was lack of

SUNYA'sfirst Sociology doctoral

than resolving them within the
department these problems were

to Swigert, it seemed "that the only

Dr. Parrel said: "I don't know if

I recognize that there wasan internal

Farrel received his PhD from the

This is his fourth year at SUNYA.

The Five Quad Volunteer
Ambulance Service is available free
to any member of the Albany State
University Community. The
ambulance service runs to Albany
Medical Center and St. Peter's
Hospital quicker than any of the
local commercial services.
II you have an emergency the first
tiling to remember is lo stay calm.
The Five Quad Ambulance Service
can be contacted through the
Infirmary. The Informary's number
is 457-8633. If the nurse on duty feels
lhat the emergency is real she will
call the ambulance service on a hot
line and send them over to you. The
mam purpose lor the ambulance
service is to transport people who
need to he lying down and
immobilized, or lo provide
immediate first aid on the way to the.
hospital. I he Infirmary's job is to
determine whether the ambulance is
needed or a non-trained student
driver will suffice merely for
transportation.
There are several Ihings to
remember when speaking to the
Infirmary nurse. Do nol hang up
first; the nurst may need more
information from you than you have
thought lo volunteer. Give the name
of the injured, your name, and a
number where you can be reached.
Ciive Ihe nurse as much information
as you can about the nature of the
injury or illness. If you are in one of
the towers, have someonw hold ihe
elevator on the first floor so that the
ambulance crew can reach you as
soon as possible.
Members of the Five Quad
Volunteer Ambulance Service who
work on the ambulance itself are all
students who have had at least
advanced first aid training. Ninetylive percent of them have had the
New York State Emergency Medical
Technicians certification. In orderto
obtain this certification, they must
go through an 81 hour training
course. This year Five Quad finds
itself under the able direction of
Wayne I'rinly, Chief of Services, and
Dick Sleeper, Assistant Chief of
Operations. If you are interested in
joining Five Quad, be on the lookout

After an explanatory commentary
by Chairperson David Coyne, Ihe

"Revised Committee Structure" bill
(7576-12). As the name suggests the

reorganization of the Council's committee system. Specifically it

According lo Coyne the reasons
for Ihe changes were thai certain
aspects of the old structure were
divisive and thai the new one would
eliminate Ihis by avoiding situations
where with similaraims(like the old
On and Off Campus Student Life
Committees) had to compete for
funds.
As important as the actual content

which would have disbanded the

Discussion of vacant council seat
The G e r m a n magazine Der
A / C M claims t o have uncovered
another apparent discrepancy in the
official police version o f the Robert
Kennedy assassination case.
Stern, amasscirculationWest German publication, reports it has
tracked down a key eyewitness t o the
l%X assassination " h o disputes the
story that Sirhan Sirhan was i n ' a
position lo fire the bullets which
struck Senator Kennedy.
Sieth says it interviewed the late
Los Angeles District
Attorney
Joseph Busch earlier this year shortly before Busch died. The magazine
says it questioned Busch about
reports that Sirhan was standing
several feet in front o f Kennedy
when the shots were fired, yet the
Senator was struck at point-blank
range from behind
suggesting that
two guns may have been tired at
Kennedy.
Busch is quoted us saying that a
maitre d ' a t the Ambassador Hotel.
Karl Ueckcr. who was holding
Kennedy's hand when the shooting
broke out. "saw Sirhan's weapon at
Kennedy's head."
Busch told Sicni thai Ueckcr was
hiding at an undisclosed location in
Ltiiope "lor safety reasons,"
However, the maga/.ine says it
tracked down Ueckcr in Dusscldorf.
Germany.and that 1'eckeilTath disputes the police version ol the
assassination. Ueckcr is quoted as
M;it i nc thai Sirhan's gun never came
close enough to Kennedy to lite
bullets at point blank range, Los

II villi have followed recent literature which is directed towards women and is meant t o depict
the so-called " w o m a n of today" y o u a r e familiar with these latest offerings of the publishing
industry. The industry n o w found b u t a n o t h e r feminine mystique of sorts t o capitalize o n .
She is none o t h e r than t h e u l t r a m o d e r n w o m a n living her own life in her ov/n self-styled world.
O f c o u r s e we a r e t o o busy living t o stop for a m o m e n t t o think a n d we actually accept what is
coining down in c o n t e m p o r a r y " w o m e n ' s literature" - that is. everything from Cosmopolitan to
Ms. Magazine with a lew Tear of Hying t y p e novels in between. We might be fooled into
believing that this newly-fabricated w o m a n of the seventies has indeed been liberated from all
those nasty elements of male chauvinism which d o m i n a t e our society and which we angrily
protested in t h e siMies, sans

Things are dilferent n o w . we a r e told. O u r new American w o m a n a s we experience her in

desiring the commodities of o u r culture herself — money, men and beauty (although she is now
on t h e pill, free t o be m o r e independent, and maybe m a k i n g a little more money).
So this is h o w w o m e n ' s tastes and lifestyles h a v e changed. We n o longer have to "look and act

Literature, movies, magazines, music a n d all other cultural products d o nothing m o r e than
reflect the altitudes and behaviors of those in t h e society l o r whom they arc produced. Anything
l o o oil-beat a n d alien t o a culture rarely sells o r seldom is taken seriously. S o , we have
m a r k e t a b l e politics in t h e form of a feminism so disguised a n d prostituted that the word
liberation has b e c o m e as a m b i g u o u s us the word love
in some circles it m e a n s fucking; while in

A Wry FSA.
SUN YA's system of providing student services is economically advantageous, buta
detriment t o its original purpose. Faculty-Student Association (FSA) is a non-profit
corporation, but a corporation never-the-less. FSA is now efficient and financially
sound but serving the university is distinctly a second priortiy to its own financial
health.
Last year's mad McCarthy-like attack on everything related to FSA on the part of
some members of Student Association was essentially a reaction to the fact that FSA's
largest constituency, students, had neither complete control nor were the primary
interest of FSA. Whether this is a worse situation than the alternatives is a subject fora
night-long barroom debate, but within the context of the present system students
should continue to increase their input and power in FSA affairs.
FSA is dealing with students on gut issues: eating, pinball, barbershops, laundry and
so on. This year will bring some issue or another into public scrutiny, and hopefully
student i n f l u e n c e in F S A will increase a s a result, a s s u m i n g s t u d e n t leaders properly '
reflect the wishes of those they represent.
Remember, cull your reps - their function is
to serve you.

T o the Editor:
Last spring, the Student Association funded
t w o weeks of free beer o n t h e podium. It went
over well, with most people having a pretty
good time. T h e major drawback was that it
was done right around finals time, a period
which ranges from fairly hectic to moderately
crazy.
Wouldn't it be better to have such a prty
week now, at the beginning of the school year,
while we're all still "happy t o be back" and
before the Albany blizzards hit?
I thought s o , and introduced Bill 73-76/12
to Central Council, the S A legislative branch
which would have set u p " M A M Week." It
would have meant a week of free Miller ( M o n day, Wednesday, and Friday) and Michelob
(Tuesday and Thursday) for two hours per
day. Initial preparatory arrangements were
made which included the use of two taps t o
prevent a repition o f last year's lines. But the
Council, in its infinite wisdom, defeated the
bill. I don't see why.
I a m disappointed in the manner i n which
the distribution of yearbooks is handled. I feel
that a letter should be ..ent to each December
graduate asking them to sign itand return it to
the TORCH office with the proper amount if
they wist t o purchase a yearbook. I realize this
is an expense, however, I did receive a letter informing m e about the senior week activities.
S o - why was I not informed about the dates
the yearbook would b e o n sale, and how I
could purchuse one'.'
I would appreciate u copy of the yearbook.
I'lease tell me the cost o f the book for an individual with a first semester tax card. If there
are no ongcr any books available, I feel the
December graduutcs should be polled. Then,
enough yearbooks should heordcrcd to satisfy
the December graduates'demand.

ATTENTION:
For example, the Rathskeller snack bar no longer serves sandwiches, though heros,
hamburgers and hot dogs are still available. The reason FSA has done this is. on the
surface, sensible: They want to eliminate duplication between the Campus Center
Cafeteria and the Snack Bar. Now. if you want a sandwich at lunchtimc you go to the
cafeteria, and if you want a hamburger you got to the Snack Bar. There is. however, a
problem when the cafeteria is closed. Students wanting night-time snacks can n o
longer have sandwiches anywhere on campus. Dinner possibilities are limited also.
What t o do? FSA could have sandwiches at Ihe Snack Bar when the cafeteria is
closed. But there is an opportunity hwere to revive one old Student Association idea.
Ihe Sandwich Truck.
If some vehicle went from quad to quad during the evening making sandwiches,
students would gel their sandwiches hack and an added convenience too.
Bui Ihe present situation, while not critical is annoying. Only at SUN V Albany is it
impossible lo have a ham and swiss on rye at 9:(K) p.m.

A Conversation Piece
Selecting
A
by Harvey Kojan-
Those of you who are new SUNYA students
have probably arrived on campus with some
pre-conccived ideas and expectations about
university life However, if one of them is that
you wil be enlightened and entertained by
your fellow students and faculty members,
forget it. We veterans of Albany campus life
know better. Hut until recently, we could never
quite figure out why. Finally, through extensive research and analysis (plus a couple of
bowls on the side) everything became clear.
And although certain segments of the university have tried to quash our findings, we have
perservered.
Question: Why is almost everyone on this
campus familiar, uninteresting, and downright boring?
Answer: Because everyone says the same exact things.
Yes. it's shocking but true. When you come
right down to it. you. your friends, your acquaintences. and everyone else associated with
SUNYA say the same things and have the
same raps in the same situation year in and
year out.
Balderdash, you say? Well, we have the
documented evidence to prove our
allegations. Last year we began conducting a
large and comprehensive research project. It
lasted from August 2d, 1974 to May 26, 1975,
thousands of conversations were randomly
taped, edited, compiled, and processed. The
results: students and faculty arc basically
limited to six areas of discussion: sex, drugs,
food, grades and courses, weather, and
vacations (sounds like Jcopardy"and when
you hear this sound, the round..."). Not less
thun 92.7% of all the interactions we studied
concerned one of these topics (and the other
7.-1% were disregarded and unintelligible,
mindless babbling).
Ilulldinky, you reply? I suggest you conduct
ALBANY STUDENT PRESS
your o w n little experiment. Carry a tape
recorder around all d a y a n d hold it in your
friends' faces (they'll love y o u for it). Bring it
back t o your suite o r a p a r t m e n t , listen t o it,
and you'll hear the same lines repeated over
and over. Such a s :
" H o w was your s u m m e r vacation','"
"What did you get last semester?"
" I his loud sucks!"
"Man. check out thai piece over there!"
"Hey,
let's gel d r u n k , stoned wasted,
plastered, etc!"
"Shit, it's winter already?!"
" I h i s veal is s o d a m n greasy, youneedl(K)
napkins t o dry it o u t ! "
"What's your major?"
Although those six were the major topics,
close contenders were M U S I C (if I hear o n e
more word about Springsteen) and S P O R T S
("I he Yankees/ Mets, J e t s ; Giants/ Rangers
SUCK!").
Seriously, when was the last time you heard
a discussion o n politics, violence, a n d discontent? Or perhaps a conversation concerning the Middle East. Boston's
school
problems, or New York City's financial crisis
(how many people still think the only Big Mac
in t h e world h a s t w o a l l beef patties...?)?
Maybe even a cerebral talk on religious existential philosophy ( d o y o u ascribe t o the
Huherian or U n a m u n i a n point of view?).
Never!
Luckily, for inosi of y o u , these few
imporliint-lo-eollege-students-bulinsignilicant-in-ihe-whole-scheme-ol-ihings
topics will interest you e n o u g h t o keep you
from a n early d e a t h . Instead, you'll merely
slugnale like the rest of us. Then, when your
lour years conic to a close, y o u c a n enter a
whole new spectrum of conversation: "What
the hell am I going to d o N O W ? ! "
Well, there's always d r u g s , sex...

At gas stations throughout the Soulh prophylactics a re sold in .ending machines. As
condom commercials have spread to television, condom vending machines have
spread north and west. The University of Massachusetts Iras them and they have been
considered at Boston University also.
Many students would consider condom vending machines on campus a real service.
I hey would be both convenient and. at lime, theonly places where they arc available.
Their very presence could be objectionable to some, however. They can be
unpleasant reminders, or could make il very embarrassing to show parents or visitors
around the campus.
II there is a demand for the machines. FSA should arrange lor ihero to be placed

Don't be too calculating. Don't be too

dictate the movements of your life.
There is a divine irrelevance in the universe- and many men and women win
through to a sense of greatness in their lives
by stumbling and fumbling their way into
patterns that gratify them and allow them to
utilize their endowments to the maximum.
If Swarthmore College in I92S had
employed even a half-way decent guidance
counselor, I would have spent my life as an
assistant professor of education in some
midwestem university. Because when I
reported to college it must have been apparent to everyone that: I was destined for •

some kind of academic career. Nevertheless,
I was allowed to takcSpanish, which leads to
nothing, instead of French or German,
which as everyone knows arc important
languages studied by serious students who
wish to gain a Ph.D.
I cannot tell you how often I was penalized
for having taken a frivolous language like
Spanish instead of a decent, self-respecting
tongue like French. In the end, I sacrificed
my academic career,
Instead, 1 continued to putteraround with
Spanish and found a dtcn affinity for it. In
the end, I was able to write .« book about
Spain which will probably live longer than
anything else I've done. In other words, I
blindly backed into a minor masterpiece.
There are thousands of people competent to
write about France, and if I had taken that
language in college I would have been
prepared to add no new ideas to general
knowledge. It was Spanish that opened up
for me a whole new universe of concepts and
ideas.
I wrote nothing until I was forty. This tardy beginning, one might say this delinquency, stemmed from the fact that I had spent a
good deal of my early time knocking around
this country and Europe, trying to find out
what I believed in, what values were large
enoughtoenlist my sympathiesduringwhat I
sensed would be a long and confused life.
Had I committed myself at age eighteen, as I
wasencouragedto do, I would not even have
known the parameters of the problem, and
any choice I might have made then would
have had to be wrong.
It took mefortyyearstofindputthefacts.
As a consequence, 1 Have never been able
to feel anxiety about young people who are
fumbling their way toward the enlightenment that will keep them going. 1 doubt that
a young man—unless he wants to be a doctor
or a research chemist, where a substantial
body of specific knowledge must be
mastered within a prescribed time—can
waste time, regardless of what he docs. I
believe you have tillage thirty-five to decide
finally on what you arc going to do, and that
any exploration you pursue in the process
will in theend turn out to have been creative.
Indeed, it may well be the year that
observers describe as "wasted" that will
prove to have been the most productive of
those insights which will keep you going. The
trip to Egypt. The two years spent working
asa runner for a bank. The spell you spent on
a newspaper in Idaho. Your apprenticeship
at a trade, these are the ways in which a
young man ought to spend his life.the ways
of waste that lead to true intelligence.
Two more comments. Throughout my life
I have been something of an idealistoptimist, so it is startling for me to discover
that recently I have become a downright
NieUchean! Ifindthat the constructive work"
of the world is done by an appalingly small
percentage of the general population. The
rest simply don't give a damn...or they grow
tired...or they failed to acquire when young
the ideas that would vitalize them for the
long decades.
•
Can you hang on through the crap
they throw . . .
I am not saying that they don't matter.
They count as among the most precious
items on earth. But they cannot be depended
upon either to generate necessary new ideas
or put them into operation if someone else
generates them. Therefore those men and
women who do have the energy to form new
constructs and new ways to implement them
must do the work of many. I believe it to be
an honorable aspiration to want to be among
those creators.
Final comment. I was about forty when I
retired from the rat race, having satisfied
myself that I could handle it if 1 had to. I saw
then a man could count his life a success if he
survived—merely survived— to age sixtyfive without having ended up in jail (because
he couldn't adjust to the minimum laws that
socity requires) or having landed in the
booby hatch (because he could not bring his
personality into harmony with the personalities of others).
1 believe this now without question. Income, position, the opinion of one's friends,
the judgment of one's peers and all the other
traditional criteria by which human beings
are generally judged are for the birds. The
only question is, "Can you hang on through
the crap they throw at you and not lose your
freedom or your good sense?"
1 am now sixty-four and three-quarters,
and it's beginning to look as if I may make it.
If I do, whatever happens beyond that is on
the house...and of no concern to me.

The Classical Forum
Candaule's
Revenge
Readers of the Classieal Forum will, it ii helped, enjoy another of
Herodotus' slightly naive but charming stories. This one takes place in the
ancient kingdom of Lydla (Asia Minor) in the 7th Century B.C.
"Now Candaules conceived a passion lor his own wife, and thought shewas the most beautiful woman on earth. To this fancy of his there was an
unexpected sequel.
In the king's bodyguard was a fellow he particulary liked whose name was
Gyges, son of Dnscylus. With him Candaules not only discussed his most
important business, but even used to make him listen to eulogies til his wile's
beauty.
One day the king (who was doomed to a bad end) said toCiyges'll appears
you don't believe me when I tell yoti how lovely my wife is. Well, a man
always believes his eyes better than his ears: so do as I tell you eontrievelo

Gyges gave a cry ol horror.'Master.' Itcsiiid.'whal an improper suggestion!
Do you tell me to look at the queen when she has no clothes on? No. no: "off

us learn from experience. Right and wrong were distinguished longago and
I'll tell you one thing that your wile is the most beautiful ol women: so for
goodness' sake do not ask me to behave like a criminal'
Thus he did his utmost to decline the king's invitation, because he was
afraid of what might happen if he accepted it.
The king, however, told him not to distress himself.' I here is nothing to be
afraid of. 'he said, 'either from me or my wile. I am not layinga trap for you:
and as for her. I promise she will do you no harm. I'll manage so that she
doesn't even know that you have seen her. Look: 1 will hide you behind the

man to be seen naked.
For the moment she kept her mouth shut and did nothing; but at dawnthe
next morning she sent lorCiygesalter preparing the most trustworthy of her
servants for what was to come. I here was nothing unusual in his beingasked
to attend upon the queen: so Gyges answered the summons without any
suspicion that she knew what had occurred on the previous night.
'Gyges,' she said, as soon as he presented hi mself.'there are two courses open

a thought provoking and awakening film.
"Hearts and Minds" examines the American
consciousness that lead toourinvolvememl in Vietnam.
Hie film makers probe for logic behind military actions
that devastated one society and polari/ed another.
I his film is a controversial documentary, drawing
upon historical record and incorporating interviews
photographed specifically for the project. "Hearts and

William Westmoreland, former Secretary of Defense,
Clark Clifford, Senator William f ulbrighl, and Walt

the war.
I he film was two years in the ma king, with filming on

victims and perpetrators, the strong and the weak.
Director Cn-I'roduccr I'eler Davis, who also made
"Selling ol lite I'ctvtiigtiit"*. says of" Hearts and Minds".
"It is a movie about the war. It is neither pro or aniiAmcriean: it is an attempt to understand what we have
done and what we have become. It is more
psychological than political, and it is not a chronology
ol the war so much as a study of people's feelings,"
Co-I'roducer Men Schneider savs of "Hearts and

In Palcsinian eyes, Israel is no
longer a tough, pureheartcd pioneer
nation. As the press exposes financial scandals and Government corruption in high places, the unprecedented rate o f inflation (more
than 40 per cent a year) provokes
strikes, demonstrations, and riots
among the underprivileged, especially Jews of Eastern European origin.
Signs of the recession have surfaced
in various branches of the economy,
with unemployment, already at
about the 20,000 mark and threatening to increase.

tough as that of any other NCAA
Division III school."
In addition, the Danes will meet
the Ithaca Bombers, last years'
Lambert Trophy winners (number I
in small college football) at Albany,
September 20 at I p.m., for the first
meeting between the two teams.
Albany in only the second year of
a varsity schedule, led the nation in
rushing with an average of 361.6
yards a game. Number four in total
offense, the Danes averaged 482.4
yards a game and 40.8 points, good
for number three in the country.
The entire backfield, the main
thrust of Albany's triple option
offense, is returning.
Quarterback John Bcrtuz/.i, who
Couch Ford calls "very capable and
an intense leader", is back at the
helm, directing the Dane offense.
Bcrtuzzi completed 42 per cent of
his pusses last year for4l2 yardsand
seven touchdowns. In addition, he
scampered for 299 yards in sixty-six
carries.
Behind Bertuzzi is junior Dave
Ahonen.
"It is a pity Dave is here the same
time John is," says Ford."Dave
would be a starter at any other
school. Unfortunately for him, John
was here first and knows the system
better."
The fullback slot belongs to
Albany's first 1000-yards gained
runner, Tom Dclilois. who totaled
1006 yards last year.
^^
According to Ford, DcBlois has
not fully recovered from a toe injury
suffered the day before training
camp opened, "but when he does, he
will be awesome. He is up to 225
pounds and still runs the 40-yard
dash in 4.7 seconds."
Behind DeBlois is Roy Fillbrook,
who Ford is extremely plcascdwith.
" He's another big one with speed,"
says Ford, "but right now he's
recovering from a hamstring pull."
The halfback position is well
stocked with both of last years'
regulars, Orin Griffin and Glenn
Sowalskic.
Sowalskie was second on the
squad in rushing, totalling 644 yards
in 70 carries for a 9.2 average, and
led the team in scoring with seven
touchdowns.
"Griff ran for 620 yards, and was
second in receptions with four, good
for fifty six yards.
Both have excellent speed and arc
good blockers according to Ford.
Sophomores Tim Ridgeway and
Dave DuPrc, both of whom saw
limited varsity action last year, arc
the backups.
"The split end job fight now
appears to be a dead heat," according to Ford, as Hob Baxter, Jim
Pollard, and Don Whitcly battle for
the starting spot."
"Bob blocks well, runs a very disciplined pattern, and has good
hands," Ford continued. "1 guess he
has a very slight edge."
"But Pollard and Whitcly have
been putting on some pressure. You
can see how much they want to play,
and Whitely caught for 143 yards
last year."
If there is one giant hole in the
Danes' offense, it's at the tight end
position. Tom Cleary, last years
starter,'left a gaping hole when he
left Albany.
"He was one of the greatest
athletes ever to attend State,"
lamented Ford, "andhisabscnccwill
hurt."
This brings us to the most important positions, and according to
most coaches, least recognized: the
offensive linemen.
"The center and tackle spots arc
set, but the guard positions are up
for grabs," says Ford.
"Andy Lee will be back at center.
Hanked by Dom Roncome and Ty
Curran at the tackles. Both Lee and
Roncome will be giving away
pounds, but we've won before with
them, and they will stay.
As for our guards, we've got four
possibilities: Bruce Court, Gary
Manilcnko, John Russell,and Steve
Abramovich fighting it out."
The kicking game will once again
rest on the foot of soeeerstyle hooter
Al Martin, who tallied 44 extra
points and 3 field goals last year, including a 47 yarder, and who will
also handle kickoffs.
Veteran Mike Mann (averaged 37
yards) and newcomer L;d Sellers will
split the duties as punters.
"Let's lace it. things will be
tougher than last year." sums up
Ford, "but we have a betterclub than
last year, and we will be there. We'll
be strong."
