Alfred will be a challenge/The Alfred
fans arc well known for their hostility, and most coaches agree it will
take a very poised and well disciplined team to win there.
The Saxons are coached by a
legend in his own time, Alex Yunich.
Yunich sports a career mark of 17594-11, ranks fourth amohg winningest coaches in college football
today.
Last year the Saxons limited their
opponents to 7.3 points a game and
only 153.6 yards a game total
offense. Of equal importance, the
Saxons lost only two players to
graduation.
The stars are All-East defensive
end John Van Gura and left
linebacker John Peterson. VanGura
is very quick and strong, and Ford
calls him their best defensive player.
Peterson at 6 feet one inch, 205
pounds is a very smart team leader.
Alfred plays out of a basic 5-3
defense with multiple adjustments.
The key for Albany is quickly

Ford characterizes Alfred's offensive unit as "hard nosed and hard hitting."
They like to run up the middle but
will also run off tackle if they have
to. In addition, they throw the football well."
Alfred's ground game will rest on
the shoulders of seniors Tim O'Neill
and Frank Yorio. Yorio, the
fullback, is a strong, powerful
runner, und, while not exceptionally
fust, is a deceptive and effective
runner, according to Ford.

Siena Clouts Danes, 7-2
by Mike Piekarski
Freshman Dave Smith powered a
two-run homer and doubled in the
go-ahead run and teammate Kevin
Ncvins spun a three hitter leading
Siena to a 7-2 victory over the Great
Dane varsity baseball team at University Field, Wednesday.
With the game tied 2-2 in the sixth,
Smith lined a one-hop shot off the
leftfield fence to drive in Gary Holle
from second with what proved to be
the winning run.
The loss left Albany at 0-2 on the
season with all of the State University of New York Athletic Conference
games yet to be played.
Siena struck first in the second inning. After Dune starter John
Dollurd—pitching on two days'
rest -had retired the Indians 1-2-3 in
the first, Tom Paradise led off the
visiting second with a base hit upthe
middle. Smith then slugged a 2-1
pitch over the leftfield fence, to the
right of the 330-fpot marker to put
the Indians into a quick 2-0 lead.
Dollard appeared a bit shaken and
Aquilar Scores Lone
Goal In Booters' Win
by Nathan Sulunl
The Albany Slate varsity soccer
team ran their preseason record to
2-0 Tuesday by edging Fulton Montgomery Junior College, 1-0.
Freshman Jorge Aguilar took a
pass form Frank Selca and dribbled
around the visitors' goalie to score
the lone goal five minutes into the
second half.
Both teams failed to capitalize on
several scoring opportunities, including a Fulton-Montgomery
penalty kick saved by Albany'sgoalie, Henry Obwald.
"Our team play was generally
good," said Booters' coach Bill
Schicffelin, "but we still have to
make some changes and improvements.
Considering we were doings lotof
experimenting at different positions,
things went fairly well."
According to Schicffelin, the
visitors proved to be stronger than
expected.
"We knew they had a good, solid
squad, but they were stronger,more
poised and disciplined than our
reports hud led us to believe," explained Schicffelin. "All of us were
really impressed with them,"
As for the Booters, Schicffelin was
particularly pleased with the performance ol Aguilar.
"That kid's a winner and a
hustler," said Schicflelin. "He has
the sense lor the net and goals that
we needed last year. He's alreudy
shown us a lot, and if his performances remain at their present level,
he will probably start."
Schicffelin also •'said the defense

A&S Dean Controversy Unsettled
Vice President for Academic Affairs Phillip Slrotkln.
by C.S. Santino
Although SUNYA President
Emmett Fields announced in his first
address to the faculty that he would
not appoint a dean to the College of
Arts and Sciences, he is inviting
comment from the Arts and Sciencesfaculty to determine how he should
organize their college,
As President Fields sees it, there
are three alternatives to the problem
of structuring the A & S College:
The first choice, according to
Fields, would be to "leave things as
they are now, but strengthen the
three divisions within the college."
The three divisions are Behavioral
and Social Sciences, Humanities,
and Science and Mathematics.
Secondly, Fields says he could
"organize the A & S College so that it
conforms to the demands of a
college, which would include the introduction of curriculum requirements." At this time it would be
necessary to appoint a dean to the
college. "The way the College of
Arts and Sciences is set up now,"
says Fields, "it just doesn't hold
together as a college in the
traditional sense of the word."
The third alternative, as he sees it,
would be to "make colleges out of
each of the three divisions, at which
time the division heads would be
come deans of their own college."
President Fields says the reasons
he originally announced that he
would not appoint a dean to the A &
S College are that "the cost is high,
and the benefits are not clear. There
is no real college, except on paper."
The A & S College has been
without a dean for more than two
years. The last Dean was 1. Moyer
Hunsberger who resigned in May of
1973. Since that time, the division
heads have worked directly with
Vice President Phillip Sirotkin in
deciding academic policy.
Sirotkin says that at this time he

Rosenthal, "it's the best opportunity

doesn't want an A & S Dean. "The
President's decision was a sound
one," said Sirotkin, "and 1 will concur with it." He feels that the position of A & S Dean is superfluous,
and says he has been operating very
well without one for the past two
years. Richard Kendall, head of the
Division of Behavioral and Social
Sciences, echoes Sirotkin's sentiments. "The relationship between
the Vice President and the Division
heads has been very satisfactory,"
says Kendall.
Has the A & S Dean been missed
by the faculty? "Yes and no," says
Kendall. "Some have, some haven't.
President Fields' inquiries should
determine how the faculty feels and
what should be done. That's the
main item of business now—to
define the A & S College and decide
what to do with it."
As yet, Fields has not formally initiated the process of polling the
faculty. Exactly how he will do this
has not been disclosed.
Should the President organize the
A & S College so that it meets his
criteria for a bona fide college, a
dean will have to be chosen to
preside over the college. The Search
Commiltee for the Artsand Sciences
has already recommended a dean to
Sirotkin, selected from the candidates that the Committee has interviewed for the position.
Because of Fields' decision not to
appoint a dean, the candidate
selected by the Search Committee
has not been informed of their
choice. Sirotkin declined to reveal
who was picked for the job because
he feels it might "reflect badly on the
other candidates."
The three candidates were:
Seymour Geisser, Director of the
Schoolof StatisticsattheUmversily
of Minnesota; George H. Stein,
professor of history at SUNY
Binghamton; Ivo Ledercr, professor
of history at Stanford University.
Ithaca: The Big One
by Nathan Silant
and Craig Bell
The chant, "We're number one"
may become a reality Saturday,
September 20, when the Albany
State Great Danes host the Ithaca
Bombers in what Danes'Coach Bob
Ford calls, "the biggest game in
Albany State history."
Never before has the number one
team in any NCAA Divisioncome to
Albany, or even met a Circut Dunes
squud, but tomorrow, number one
ranked Ithaca plays number six
ranked Albany Slate at I p.m.
Last week the Danes faced I974's
lop Division 111 defense at Alfred
und were winners by a 19-13 score,
but Ithaca and Alfred are worlds
iipurt, according to several coaches
who've seen both squads.
"Their offense is awesome," says
Ford. Last year the Bombcrsuvcraged 40.3 points u gume, und they
rolled right over St. Luwrence in
their season opener last week, 20-6.
The Bombers copped the 1974
Lambert Trophy, the symbol of
supremacy in the East, and were
number two in the nation behind
Iowa Central State.
The Bombers, like State, are a triple option offense, but they operate
out of the "1" formation.
Quarterback Jerry Boycs.a 6 foot
2 inch 190 pound senior, run far 158
yards und three touchdowns last
week and is extremely capable of
running the offense. In addition he
has a strong arm.
According to Ford, his split end,
Bill Bryant, is an excellent

Ford.

Patricia Hearst Captured
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Fugitive
newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst
and three radical comrades were
arrested Thursday, ending one of the
longest and most bizarre manhunts
in American history. Almost by
chance. FBI agents spied two of Miss
Hearst's fellows in the Symbionese
Liberation Army jogging on a San
Francisco street. William and Emily
Harris were taken without a
struggle. Miss Hearst and Wendy
Yoshimura, an artist linked to the
radical movement, were apprehended about an hour later,
taken into custody at an apartment
in the city's Mission District.
"Thank God she's all right," Miss
Hearst's mother, Catherine, said in a
barely audible Voice when informed
of the captures.
Her husband, Randolph A.
Hearst, was in New York on business
and said as he boarded a plane for
San F-rancisco, "I am very pleased
thai things turned out the way they
did." Hearst said that despite the
bank robbery charges against his
daughter. "I don't think anything
will happen on that score; after all
she Wlis a kidnap victim, you must
remember."
In a crowded courtroom 2'/j hours
alter her arrest, Miss Hearsi was
arraigned on charges that included
bank robbery and federal weapons
violations. Her haira reddish-brown
color, cut in a shag style, the slightly
built Min Hearst listened as the
charges against her were read by
U.S. Magistrate Owen Woodruff.
She wore tinted glasses and
appeared quite pale.
Asked by the judge if her name
was Patricia Campbell Hearst, she
answered, "Yes." Mils Hearst was
kidnapped from her Berkeley apartment Feb. 4, 1974 by the thenmysterious SLA. Within two
months, she had joined her captors
and declared herself a revolutionary.
In addition to federal charges,
Miss Hearst and the Harrises face
state charges that include kidnapping and robbery. Asst. Dist. Atty.
John Howard in Los Angeles said
the three would be brought there
next week for arraignment.
William Harris, 30, and Emily, 28,
were arraigned after the 21-year-old
Miss Hearst was taken from the
courtroom. As he entered the room,
Harris raised both fists and said
loudly, "Hey, comrades, keep on
truckin'."
Bail for all three was set at $500,000.
Miss Hearst, who at one time posed in. military fatigues with an
automatic rifle in her hand, wore a
mauve-colored long-sleeve shirt,
brown jeans and sandals at her
arraignment. As she stood before the
magistrate with her attorney,
Terrence Hallinan, her arms were
folded acrou her chest. She had
what appeared to be a silverband on
the third finger of her left hand.
Prior to Miss Hearst, Miss
Yoshimura, 32, was brought before
the magistrate. As she was escorted
from the courtroom, she reached
to where Miss Hearst satatadefense
table and squeezed her hand. Then
she was led away to be turned over to
authorities in Alameda County,
where she faces charges of possession of explosives.
End of the SLA?
Before the hearing, FBI agent
Charles Bates, in charge of the case
from the start, said "This effectively
puts an end to everybody we know
whowasintheSLA. Heheldoutthe
possibility of further arrests in the
case, however.
The Harrises were arrcsied at 1:15
p.m. as they jogged down a street in
the Mission District. Misses Hearst
and Yoshimura were arrested at 2:35
p.m.
The FBI said Patty and Bill and
Emily Harris were the only members
left of the SLA. She was "sighted"
hundreds of timesjrom the hills of
Tennessee to a Colorado cafe, from a
Los Angeles freeway to Cuba, Hong
Kong, Algeria and Mexico City.
Virtually all checks on the reports
proved fruitless. The case began a
new phase with odd clues in April.

The conversion, which concerns

The game rooms' present location is

The main changes necessary to accomodate the move will be concentrated on the first west side lounge
and will include walling off its two
open sides, changing the lighting
system and installing the electrical
sockets needed to allow the installation of several game machines. The
excess furniture presently in the

proposal, while the noise of the
machines and the disruptiveness of
the ping-pong balls added heavily to
its acceptance. The only other alternative suggested was the removal of

The noise emanating from the
current game room cannot be contained because of its opencss. The
noise tends to echo although advice
was given on acoustics in the hope*
of toning the noise down. Because of
its location immediately above it, the

Early last September, a group of

Questions were raised by members
of the astronomy department in

of the major accusations,

world-weary features.
Bui Birily Friedan's involvement in
the International Women's Year
Conference last su mmer set off a personal and international melodrama
thai she could only consider to be a
farce.
A farce. A "great cosmetic deal,"
she called it. Garlands of flowers
adorned the Mexico City site of the
conference, parties of women were
hired to line the streets and welcome
the delegates. A plastic facade of
support and compliance masked the
political maneuvering in the "kind of
machismo" that Friedan called an
"outrageous attempt lo manipulate"
the women at the conference in order
to secure for Mcxical leader
Echeverria greater leverage in the international political scene.
The highly political tenor of the
conference, which Friedan claims
was played down by the news media,
Brought her to Albany last week lo
publicize the "real story behind the
International Women's Year Conference." • '
Friedan, author of "The Feminine
Mystique," spoke at the Colonie
Americana Inn on Tuesday,
September 9. She was the founders**
the National Organization of
Women and helped pioneer the
feminist movement in the U.S. during the past decade. Consequently,
Friedan took an important, though
unofficial, role in the Mexico City
conference.
"I don't think much came out of
the conference," she said. "The Communist powers were very threatened

tried to portray the whole conference
as an American i mperialist bag." She
laughed, Tilled with anger and
amusement. "It was a mindblowing
experience to be considered an agent
of American imperialism."
Fear that the American feminists
might "infect the Communist and
Third World women with American
ideals" resulted in suspiciously welllimcd mechanical

Ewald B. Nyquist today amplified

To the women who did manage to

Feminist Groups Hold
Fourth Rally in Albany
by AdrieniM Rabinowiti
The fourth annual Women's Day
was held here in Albany on Sunday,
August 7. The day's program began
at 12:00 in Washington Park. Approximately 25 tables were set up in
the park representing a wide spectrum of interests including such
groups as: The League of Women
Voters, Albany Women Against
Rape (AWARE), Tri-City Women's
Center, Forum of Women in New
York State Government, Speak-Out
(a feminist journal), National
Organization of Women (NOW),
Women's Political Caucus and
Planned Parenthood.
District Women, Marxist-Feminist
Study Group, and Speak-Out, will
serve as a central home for women's
activities. The center wants to conduct discussion groups, speakers,
workshops, and feminist performers
in the arts. The center hopes to encourage all organizations with a
feminist orient; tion to make use of
their facilities.
The need for women to become involved in politics and government
was also stressed. Women were urged to exercise their power as voters,
especially concerning the Equal
Rights Amendment (ERA), which
will be on the ballot in New York

Classes Collect, Distribute Dues
by Frank Cualc
Did you ever wonder exactly how
your class dues are spent? . Is
somebody hoarding the money for a
vacation in Rioorforan illicit affair?
Discussions with Bob O'Connor,
News
senior class president,
and Mark Benccke,
Analysis s o p h o m o r e class
president, proved the
above speculations
false. The class dues, which arc
collected by the Bursar's office and
deposited with the Faculty-Student
Association (FSA), are spent by the
respective classes on a variety of
functions.
Senior week activities and class
parties arc the biggest spenders but
also included are picnics, movies,
and miscellanea like class T-shirts.
This year, O'Connor said, "We also
may give help with finding jobs to
the graduating seniors."
The money thateach class rccicvcs
during the year does not arrive in one
lump sum. It comes from the Bursar's office as student bills are
processed. Bills are processed
throughout the entire semester.
It is difficult to determine how
many students will pay the optional
class dues. Therefore, according to
O'Connor, "the individual class
council has no way that they can
budget it [the money], fhey can just
estimate from previous \ tars.
Out of the initml amount of
money, which O'Connor says can
vary from S3.000 to S6.000, the
various class activities are funded.
He estimates that from $2,500 to $3,000 is saved yearly by each class for
their senior week. Each class varies
in size, meaning that larger classes
have more money at their disposal.
O'Connor stresses that, "we are trying for quality rather than quantity,
but we arc still trying to do as much
as we can."
Benccke's attitude towards class
spending slightly differs from that of
O'Connor's. It seems that the
sophomore class is a large one and
has a high percentage of dues-paying
students — about 80 per cent.
Bcnccke feels that their purpose is to
cater not only to that particular
class, but also to the university as a
whole. Commenting on the lack of
social life here on campus Bcnccke
SIASDE
stated, "We feel that since we have
the funds We should spend it on all
the students."
Decisions on class spending are
made by the class council. This body,
which varies in number from class to
class, meets at regularly scheduled
intervals. O'Connor alluded to the
fact that these bodies often have
limited manpower.
Henecke points out that, "the
whole philosophy of class government is not only a social one. It
should be a channel where peopleexpress themselves and should not be
devoid of politics." He also defended
the integrity of the council. "We have
a very open class council, and have
taken many precautions to avoid the
abuse of power," said Benecke, "The
president has no veto power and is a
regular voting member."

WE KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE
GOING
THROUGH.
by Daniel O'Connell
During a tempestuous meeting
replete with dclctablc expletives and
a pounding gavel, the Central Council on September tenth passed and
then voted down bill 7576-17 which
would have set aside a separate seat
on the Council for students now living at the Hotel Wellington.
Unfair Classification
The sponsor of the bill.Greg
Lessne (State).said he proposed it
because he felt that classifying the
Wellington students as commuters
for election purposes, as they are
now, might lead to unfair representation for one of the constituencies
involved. Lessne said that if no one
from the Wellington was elected it
would be doubtful that that group
with its unique needs and problems
would be adequately represented by
someone who doesn't live there. On
the other hand, he pointed out, if the
people at the hotel organized
themselves they could conceivably
capture all six commuter scats and
so leave the true commuting students
with a weakened voice in the Council. He concluded his bill would prevent either of these occurances by
giving the over 200 students living at
the Wellington their own seat.
Councilperson Lessne's argument
proved effective and the bill passed
by a vote of 12-5-0; however, the victory was short lived. Soon after the
vote was taken debate was reopened
when Roger Herbert (Commuter)
complained that he had not been .
given a chance to express his opinion. As the discussion progressed
more and more questions were raised pertaining to the bill's constitutionality and the basic theory of
representation. When a second vote
was taken the result wasalmost completely reversed from the first as the
bill was defeated 6-11-1.
In other action the Council voted
to charge $1 admission to non-tax
card holders at the Albany-Ithaca
football game that will he played

The meeting itself was often unruly and several times required

were common refrains. Some,
however, put down the social aspect
of the school.
One. grad spoke at length on this
subject:"l'm from a small town, a
small college . . . It took me longer
to make friends at SUNYA than at
my other college. The people at
SUNYA are a little more remote.
They're suspicious, at least some of
them are. If you tried to be friendly,
maybe they'd even think you were a
little strange . . . perhaps it's
because so many arefromNew York
Citv and Long Island.'

Aggressiveness, it wassaid, is essential to find work. Said one grad,
"One's name tends to get lost in the
shuffle of papers (applications, i.e.).
You must personally put pressureon
employers. You just can't wait
around."
SllNYA Praised
Besides jobs, the grads were asked
about their feelings toward SUNYA
in general. Most were grateful for the
fine education Albany State had
given them, and the opportunities
that have ensued. 'Albany's a good
school' and 'It's highly respected'

A landmark marijuana case1 is unerway. in Alaska that could very
well determine how the federal
government will deal with states
which decriminalize pot.
The Alaskan legislature and
supreme court have both repealed all
state laws which treat marijuana
possession with criminal penalties.
Last month, however, the police
revealed that an undentified Juneau
resident was apprehended for
allegedly growing seven small marijuana plants. The cultivation of pot
is legal under Alaskan state law
but cultivation is a violation of
federal law.
As a result, the plants have been
over to the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency which says it has
forwarded them for further tests to
its San Francisco laboratories.
Federal officials in Alaska say that
if the material turns out to be marijuana, the U.S. Attorney in Alaska
may decide to prosecute the offender
under federal laws since there are no
longer state laws outlawing the
offense.
The federal decision is expected to
have repercussions in Oregon,
California, Colorade, Maine, and
Ohio
stated which have already
acted to decriminalize marijuana

The new government in South

the American presence in Vietnam.
The government says the "Museum
for American War Crimes in Vietnam" is now displaying such things
as howitzers, tanks, rockets, those
15,000 pound bombs known as
"daisy cutlers" and torture instruments allegedly used by pronmcrican officials of the former
Thicu government. The War Crimes
Museum also has one room featuring Playboy pinups, pornographic

Americans to "corrupt Vietmunesc

According to the man, however,
there is only one problem: hedocsn't

Cellar Door productions, the'
promoters who handle many big
name rock acts, say that some of the
big name stars write nearly impossible clauses into their performance
contracts.
Take Elton John, for example:
when Elton is schelduled to do a
show, his contract requires that the
promoters see to it that a hot sitdown meal for a least 20 persons is
served back stage, featuring a full
menu drawn up personally by Elton.
Elton also requests large bags of taco
chips and a quart of guacamolejeight
bottles of french and german champaign, with the brand and years absolutely specified; fresh vegetables
and fruit for 20; and a case of
Heineken beer.
The Grateful Dead are no easier to
please: they usually demand (and
get) 60 quarts of milk: six cases of
Heincken's beer: and steak, lobster
and vegetarian meals to feed up to 30
people.
The Average White Band isa little
easier: Their only request is "no fried

the suitcase with him at all times
because he feared someone would
take away all of his money.
Someone did. Friedman was
brought before a judge, who heard
the story and committed him to a

pay court costs, lawyer's fees and
psychiatric testing costs, as well as
$60 a day in hospital fees.

DEVILS WORK
Colorado Senator Floyd Haskell
has called on the F.B.I, to investigate
the growing number of cattle
mutilations which have occured in at
least 10 western states.
Haskell says he met with F.B. 1. officials in Denver last week in an
attempt to have them enter the case.
Haskell states that the bizarre
killings have occurred in Colorado
and at least nine other states. He
says:"in virtually all the cases, the
left ear, left eye, rectum and sex
organ of each animal have been cut
away. Blood has been drained from
the carcasses and no blood has been
found around the carcas-.es."
The senator also says he believes
that who ever is behind the
mutilations is using helicopters to
land in the middle of fields before
butchering the animals.
Investigators speculate that some
sort of satanist or devil-worshipping
cult is bching the hundreds of ritual
slayings reported in the Midwest and
the West.
An earlier federal investigation
into the killings was abruptly halted
by the U.S. Treasury- Department
for no apparent reason last spring.
The Fori Star-Telcgramreponal at
the time that the investigation was
dropped shortly after the home of
the agent heading up the investigation was smeared with blood

When Things Were Good...
by I dward J . O'Neill
A storybook sits before you on your
IV screen. A page begins to turn,
and promptly tears, and somehow
yon know thai Wednesday nights
will never be the same again.
I've just described the heginningof
When Things Were Rotten, a new
comedy series from the demented
mind of Mel Brooks. Brooks has
been making people laugh for years
with movies ( Young Frankenstein),
albums (The 2000 Year Old Man),
and TV series {Get Smart), and this
new show is no exception to the rule.
When Things Were Rollen is a
riotous re-telling of the Robin Hood
legend, starring Dick Gaulier as a
super-heroic Robin who swings
from a tree to the dinner table and
calmly says, "Pass the salt."
Sherwood Forest has been peopled
with hilarious characters such as
gluttonous Friar luck (Dick Van
Fatten) who fights and cats at one
lime, scatter-brained Maid Marion
(Misty Rowe), who knits a secret
message on an Afghan, and the evil
Sheriff of Nottingham (Henry I'olic
II), whose dungeon-imprisoned
enemies must sing "Get Happy" to
appease him.
With this show. Brooks seems to
be getting away from the recent style
of talky, topical situation comedies,
and back to a more basic approach.
When Things Were Rouen is filled
with slapstick (a tumultuous fight
scene, duri ng which R obin calls for a
sword, and is pelted with ten), sigh!
gags (Sir Ronald of MacDonald
wears a shirt proclaiming "Over I,000,000
Dispatched"), and puns
(Robin gives the Sheriff an "arrow"
shirt), in the style ol Brook's hit film.
Mazing Saddles.
Watch When Things Were Rollen
on ABC, Wednesdays at 8, and I
guarantee that you will laugh. Watch
especially closely the crowd scenes,
which I feel are brilliant. The crowds
do and say everything in unison,
providing for a great comiccffcct. In
one such scene, the peasants are
commanded, "Hold your tongues!"
Immediately, they all slick out their
tongues and grab hold.
Now, lhal's funny!

It is too early in the season to criticize the new shows
fairly. Although thepremicrewcek has been disappointing, perhaps with character and situation development
they will get belter. Because Ihc medium to T.V. relies
on familiarity, a lew shows must be seen before a judgement can be passed.
T.V. is the only medium in which the entertainment
we are viewing becomes our friend. Close-ups arc Ihc
si/.e of our own heads and not some huge, towering
visage as on the screen. Kojak talks to us and wc listen,
surrounded by the security and comfort of our rooms,
unlike a cold movie theatre or playhouse, with strangers
all about. Anything can come inloour house. Wc let Ihc
Bunkers or .leffcisonsor MASH Unit 4077 come into
our living room oncea week, but can Ihey come into our
neighborhood?
And then there are commercials. Because of our
secure surroundings we let their messages creep into our
skulls. Our brealh begins to smell like our feet, our feel
begin lo smell like our breath, we need a pill to sleep and
then a stimulant to stay awake. The home, Ihc safest
place in the world, is being invaded by the Madison
Avenue body snatchers.
But Ihey haven't conquered yet! There are two ways
lo overcome Ihc advertising invasion. One way is to just
leave the room. The second is lo concentrate on the
commercials and analyze them into the absurdity that
they are. As soon as the commercial comes on say lo
yourself, "OK, whal do Ihey want me to buy nowT If
you say that before Ihey finish Ihcir message, then
you've beaten the "snatchers." From there it is fun lo
analyze frame composition, editing, shot angles, etc. so
your mind stays stimulated.
I hope you feel safer in living room from now on.
Stay tuned next week.
. . . O r W e r e They?
by t".S. Santino
You've seen "Blazing Saddles"
and "Young Frankenstein." You
may have even seen "The Producers"
or "The Twelve Chairs." Very funny
movies (though not without Ihcir
faults).
Pick the lamest, unlunnicsl scene
you can think of from any of those
movies the cjuicksand bit from
"Blazing Saddles" or the opening ten
minutes ol "The Producers." for instance. Now set il in Sherwood
Forest, stretch il out to a full half
hour, sprinkle liberally with commercials, tack on a laugh track, and
the rcsull is 'When filings Were
Rotten," the new Mel Brooksinspired television flop.
"Rotten," which premiered last
Wednesday, is Mel Brooks' first
television effort since "Get Smart."
After " G e t Smart," Brooks
successfully made the jump from
television to the movies, reaching his
peak with "Young Frankenstein."
On the rebound. Brooks has
stumbled over his Raisincttcs and
fallen on his face. His new show is so
strained, so silly, so pedestrian, that
only people who laugh at cream pie
flinging and banana peel pratfalls
could enjoy it.
Robin Hood and his merry men
are the vehicles'this time around,
show, created and co-written by
Brooks, takes every opportunity to
pass up the good jokes and use only
the bad ones. (Robin Hood, by the
way, is pluyed by Dick Gauticr, who
is stiller in this scries than he was as
the arthritic robot, Hymie, in "Get
Smart.") Here's a sampling of the
kind of humor that Brooks will be
clouting us with in the long weeks to
come—The sheriff of Nottingham
announces to the peasants that Ihc
King is repossessing their land. The
peasants (a hundred or so), in unison, chant "Uh-oh." The sherifl
shouts, "Hold your tongues!" ai
which point the peasants, in unison
again, stick their tonguesout of theii
mouths), grasping them between
Ihcir thumbs and index fingers.
Brooks must he commended on
his technical virtuousity heregrabbing one's tongue is not the
easiest thing in the world to do, Try It
yourself.
Ihc "Robin Hood" theme v.
nothing more than an excuse to b<
juvenile. If ihc show would emplo
the satiric poking of the Brook
films, then it might get some laughs
When the show docs mock thi
swashbuckling genre, still, the effon
is fantastic; for example, Robin, in
one scene, having been disarmed,
shouts to his men, "A sword, lads!'
file camera remains focused on
Robin as he is inundated by a showei
of rapiers.
"Rotten" 's humor, more annoying than "Batman" ai best, falls
into five basic categories: a) the
group response in unison joke (as ex
plained above), b) the ethnic joke
F.g-Renaldo, a merry man with a
Puerto Rican accent, c) the food joki
(a Brooks favorite), eg.—among the
d u n g e o n t o r t u r e s is eating
asparagus, d) the anachronous song,
e g - prisoners break into "Get Happy." e) the horse joke, a la "Saddles,"
"Frankenstein" (too stupid to
detail).
Almost all the gags fall into these
live categories and the ones thai
don't arc even dumber. In addition
all the jokes, a,b,c,d,c, or whatevei
arc shouted at full volume by the ai
tors, who must believe that we're sli
laughing so hard from Brook
movies that we can't hear whu
they're saying. This is comedy?

More damaging is a quirk in her plotting. Heroic fantasy naturally requires
mightv deeds against mighty Iocs. But at several crucial junctures in her
narrative, Kurtz has her "good guys" win through pure luck, or through lastminute aid f r o m some totally unexpected source. She carefully builds up
tense confrontations, only to ruin them by throwing in a new factor that
destroys all tension. This is particularly true of the climatic scene of the whole
trilogy, which thus ends on a flat note.
Yet in spite of her faults, Kurtz is a worthy descendant of the great names
of fantasy. Her own special writing strength is precisely the quality which is
most important to a good fantasy novel: she can construct a believable world.
She makes her j o b somewhat simpler by drawing on medieval Wales for
much of her background, as Tolkien drew on many sources (Norse sagas,
etc.) for his own Middle Earth.
Hut even so, she can do what many writcrsare unable to do. Byprcscsnting
an effortless How of vividly depicted scenes, she makes her world come alive.
I here is never the fatal sense of artificiality. The author seems to be reporting, not inventing.
Tolkien achieved a believable world mainly through sheer mass of detail.
Kurtz gets the same effect through a more deft feeling for physical description. It would appear that she is aware of her strength and always willing to
use it to the fullest. This is admirable, and more than makes up for her faults
as a writer.

Treasure
This Weekend: Warhol's 'Frankenstein'
by Eddie Rader
If you're the kind o f person who gets off on blood and
guts, especially guts, then you'll love Andy Warhol's
"Fra nkenstein." Nobody gets off on guts quite as much
as this Dr. Frankenstein does, except maybe his assistant. If, however, you were hoping to see an interesting
new version of the great old story, forget it. Any
resemblance between thismovieand the 1931 classic is
purely i n the title. I don't think anyone in this moviehas
even heard of the book.
What Paul Morrissey has written and directed, and
Andy Warhol produced, is a perversely funny, perversely sexy film that is sometimes simply gross. This time
around, Dr. Frankenstein is no victim of circumstances,
but an evil doer f r o m the word go.
He's interested in creating a whole race of little
monsters and the monster and his common-law wifeare
both on hand to act things started. Problem is, thcy'rea
terrific looking couple and the doctor can't keep his
hands out of her (and 1 do mean out), while his
frustrated wife is interested in what the big guy can d o
for her.
Somewhere along the line enters the hero—played by
Warhol's favorite star Joe Delasandro, the most boring
and untalented good physique ever to appear on the
screen. He comes into the castle looking for his best
friend's head, which had been sheared off and plopped
on t o p of the monster. By the time he leaves, he's seduced the wife, run the doctor through, and fallen victim to
two creepy kids who have been skulking about the
whole time.
The film's funniest moments could easily be mistaken
for its most disgusting moments, depending on how
strong a stomach you have. There's an amateurish leeling about the script that suggests the whole thing was
done in a partying mood, and somehow this is the film's
saving grace. Except for Delasandro. who can't do
anything, the actors all ham it up awfully.
I walked out of the theatre with u smile on my lace
and my dinner only slightly rising.

The first lask of a go. J fantasy writer is creating the propcrmood. causing
readers to "suspend disbelief." Kurtz falters in this aim a lew times by using
terms that arc t o o modern. References to "charisma"and "mediation teams"
remind the reader of current politics, not the heroic pseudo-medieval milieu
thai is meant to be portrayed.

The Deryni Trilogy - Katherine Kurtz (Ballantinc)
Unfortunately for lovers o f the genre, fantasy does not seem t o attract
nearly as many good writers as do the technological and/ or socially relevant
types or SF. After the Tolkien boom, publishers reissued most of the classic
works of fantasy - f e w authors even tried to produce new material. Most who
did turned out hackwork or worse, as evidenced by the Blade series or the
novels of Lin Carter.
But in the past few years, the books of Katherine Kurtz's Deryni trilogy,
Deryni Rising. Deryni Checkmate, and High Deryni, have won this new
writer much praise and have caused her to be compared with the (mostly
deceased) great names of fantasy.
Kurtz, docs not use science fiction to investigate the con dition of woman. Rather, she writes "pure" fantasy, having practically no
connection with modern issues. Kurtz's womanhood is strictly incidental to
her writing.

form a distinct subculture on the
rock scene, and this Saturday at 8:30
Siena College will present two of the
best of the genre, the Nitty Gritty
Dirt Band and the Chris Hillman
Band.
The opener is the recently formed
Chris Hillman Band. Its namesake
has impeccable country rock credentials. Originally with the Byrds, he
one of the founding members of the
Plying Burrito Brothers, one of the
pioneer groups of country rock.
When the Burrilos broke up a few
years ago (they reformed recently
with two original and a passel of new
members) Hillman went into the illfated return of the Byrds.

first country "supergroup." another
highly touted but subsequent failure,
the Souther. Hillman, Furay Band.
Now on his own, the Chris Hillman
Band will hopefully live up to the
reputation of their leader.
The hcadliners,, the Nitty Ciritty
Dirt Hand, are one of the longest
lasting groups in rock music. They
were founded in 1966 and with very
few personnel changes continue today, stronger than ever. Primarily a
country rock band, their music
ranges from soft ballads and pop to
I95()'s parodies and acoustic
bluegrass. The four hand members
play just about every type of instrument except horns (one plays the
harmonica), and their onstage
presence is engaging and entertaining.
Perhaps their biggest claim to
fame was their association with
many traditional country artists
which culminated with the best selling three record set. "Will the Circle
He Unbroken." They have a new
album which should be out soon
although there have been problems
with it. It was supposed to be released in March.

Pruning Professors
During the p u t five years, student concern has shifted from the ideological,
worldwide and general to the economic, personal and specific. Partly due to financial
insecurity and partly due to improved political conditions on campus, the change has
meant that successful excercise of student power has occurred most often in issues
directly affecting students. Thus, issues like rents, board rates, bus service and tenure
cases have increased importance.
Tenure cases affect the fundamental reason students are on campus: Education. A
good professor, from the student standpoint, is able to communicate information with
efficiency, clarity and in amanner that makes material morea learning experience than
something akin to remembering telephone numbers. There are other reasons to be at
college, of course, but ' students who, for example, feel that grades are the only
reasons to come can still be inspired.
Many administrators and faculty have taken the position that students have little or
no business influencing tenure decisions. As a result, students have noclearchannel to
use in making their feelings known. Demonstrations, letters, this newspaper and sit-ins
have all been used at SUNYA to express student opinion.
The arguements against student participation in tenure decisions are silly; the vital
interest faculty and administrators must take in j o b security and conditions in their
department color their judgment, and students without vested interestsadd significant
perspective at least to the kind of teaching a professor is doing.
But students have been denied a vote on tenure cases. If their voice is heard during
t he various stages of the tenure process a n d if that voice carries weight, a vote is not essential. But some departments at SUNYA make little use of the teaching evaluation
material they have a n d , more importantly, do not attempt t o ii prove it.
President Fields will have some difficult tenure decisions this year — nothing unusual. His task is doubly hard because the faculty is no longer increasing in numbers
and thus the ranks of those tenured cannot grow. A healthy university must attract and
keep quality professors and this involves constant pruning of the' teaching staff. Fields
understands the situation here. He has pointed out that relative to theacademicquality
of students here, the faculty is deficient. He has given high priority to bringing the
faculty up to a level more appropriate for SUN Y A's student body. Indoing so. we hope
Dr, Fields will not underestimate the importance of good teaching.
To the Editor:
On Friday, July 25,1975, after a long hard
day of studying, I had very high hopes of going
out and having an enjoyable evening. Some
friends asked me if I would like to go to the
Varsity Inn in Colonie. My reply was "sure, 1
could use some excitement!"
Upon our arrival, we were stopped at the
door and our I.D.'s were checked presumably
for age. After my friends' I.D.'s were approved, they paid the admission fee and began
ed and I was detainedfor some very vague and
absurd reason. Obviously I know it couldn't
have been age, because my date of birth
appeared on my out-of-state l.D. along with
my photo and social security number. Later 1
was told by one of the managers to present
some New York identification. I responded by
card. I was told to step aside and wait, as the
other patrons passed through. This was very
annoying as well as embarassing. The
manager was very obnoxious and said that I
wouldn't be admitted that night.

Rockefeller is a rich man whose hard-nose
bargaining around boardroom conference
tables and in Albany's political back rooms
has earned him a reputation as a hard-ball
player, but when he goes south to compare
himself with the likes of Wallace and South
Carolina's Republican senatorial institution,
Strom Thurmond, he is launchinginloa futile
ellorl to crap the world'schampioncrappers.
The most Iruitful outcome he can hope for is
that his real friends will be kind enough not to
take him seriously.
An objective analyst of Nelson
Rockefeller's problem in holding on to the
Vice Presidency would adhere to a few simple
beatitudes known well throughout the Bible
Belt;
Blessed is ihe liberal who does not attempt
to tackle Ronald Reagan in South Carolina,
lor he shall obtain mercy.
Blessed is Ihe Vice President who turns to
his real friends in time of need, for he might
obtain the help he seeks.
Blessed is Ihe man who realizes that in the
real showdown against Ihe Democrats, his
Boss needs him more than he needs his Boss,
for he shall succeed in sitting at the right hand
of Ihe President.
Blessed is the man who does not appear lo
want too badly thai which he has no real
reason to care much about anyway, for he may
be able to slay on the ticket.
In short, the Vice President and his advisers
should remember thai there is a time for just
about every purpose. A time to laugh and cry
and embrace and refrain from embracing and
even a lime to punt.
Bui there is never a time locrapacrapper.
On Borrowed Time
Whether New York City is to blame for its own crisis because of mismanagement
and overly generous spending, or the banks arc at fault lor pushing interest rates
beyond what the risk would justify over the years, the city is in trouble. And with the
State's new plan, the state and the banks may be in trouble too.
It is essential that the new seven-man board controlling New York City's finances
succeed in straightening them out. If they fail, the State will have simply delayed
default at a tremendous cost.
The banks are trying to sell the various bonds, but most will remain with them. The
major risk-takers under the new aid plan will be the banks and the state, whose funds
arc being tapped for loans, including the state's employee pension funds. I h e state is
indeed taking a chance, since default is still likely in December. The probability that the
city will at least be credit-worthy by then is low.
Default means the Federal Reserve Board would have to shore up the city banks,
resulting in inflationary, nationwide increases in interest rates. The State would be in
some trouble, though the M AC-proposcd plan passed earlier this week includes setting
up a legal process to handle default, expected to protect the stateasmuchuspossiblc.
The city's last chance runs from now until December. If it can handle the money flow
by then, it may be safe. Otherwise, iyige amounts of money will have been wasted on
obtaining a few extra months.

Oh, I'm a vagina. What's up?

But we humans are a resourceful bunch. It

method of controlling pregnancy was called

(to be continued in future columns)
But this rhythm method often lost the beat.
Various factors, such as climate, stress, illness,
or God's mischievous nature would affect the
arrival of that fertile interval, much to
everyone's surprise (You're going to have a

who practiced the rhythm method of birth

So to thwart mother nature, the withdrawal
school was developed. The male would
withdraw the instant before ejaculation, and
Ms. Egg would be none the wiser. It sounds
good on paper, but some of those agile sperm
brothers would sneak out a little early and
"Listen baby, 1 don't want you to think that all
I want you for is your body, 'cause that's not

look almost half done with that drink there.
But anyway, I gotta feel real comfortable with

you gulp it down quick you won't feel the

bed with just anyone, but I'm not like that. Er.

After the moans have stopped, and you

In Mohawk
by Andy Bauimui
The Wellington, a recently foreclosed hotel
located downtown, is filled with students who
were rejected for on campus housing. Why are
we forced into such a desparate plan? Is there
any other alternative? A review of the situation is necessary.
After two years of servere overcrowding,
Albany State is starting the semester with
|ess
of this overpopulation in the dorms.
The Housing office, however, succeeded in
that goal by merely denying requests to about
400 students for on campus accomodations.
Half were thrown into a decaying hotel
located thirty minutes from campus, while the
other half were simply thrown. At the same
time Mohawk Tower, a structure designed to
house 400 students, remains devoid of any.
This is heralded as a victory by well meaning
administrators, A victory for whom? The
faculty members currently working in the
tower? Certainly not the students, the logical
heirs to any dormitory.
The choice for occupancy of the Tower is
between faculty members and students (more
specifically, incoming freshmen and transfer
students). It should be obvious which of the
two deserves priority.
Faculty members use the space for what
amounts to a few hours a day. Kor the
students, it would be their home. Most
students do not own cars for personal
transportation, while most faculty do. Most of
the social, recreational and cultural services
provided on campus arc provided and needed
by the students, not by the faculty. Students
cannot leave, nor can they travel to campus
after the buses stop at midnight. The faculty Antly llmttmm is President of the Student

do, but with whom we do it. Thousands of
straights marry every week in this country and
all it does, is make the society section; one fay
couple gets married, and not only docs it make
the front pages, but some fool tries to marry
his mule the next day in protest (We wonder
just t»ho the ass in that partnership really was.)'
All that commotion just because two people
love each other.

"Do you flaunt your homosexuality?*
"Well, if by 'flaunting it,' you mean do I
make public statements about my sexuality,
yes, 1 do flaunt it, and until I can feel free to
walk down the street holding hands with my
lover, until I can join in conversations about
spouses and lovers and not change the pronoun, I will continue to, as you say'flaunt it.'"
—from a conversation at a Gay Alliance
meeting.
The irony of the above dialogue is that in
reality, flaunting it is in the mind of the
beholder. Usually, gays who are accused of
flaunting it arc displaying their sexuality less
overtly than straights. Our behavior merely
stimulates more response in the viewer and to
avoid dealing with those feelings, the viewer
passes judgement (and the buck) back to the
gay person. And so. if we hold dances or show
affection in any prblic way, we are accused of
Haunting it. When these activities are performed by heterosexual couples, how many
are judged as flaunting their sexuality.
Haunt. Webster defines it as "making a
gaudy, ostentatious, conspicuous, impudent
or defiant display, as brazen women" (we
won't comment on the brazenly sexist example.) Well, really there ain't no such animal, as
Haunting it. because all those descriptive adjectives (ostentatious, gaudy, etc.) are
subjective value judgements that say a lot
more about the judger than the judgee. Actually, the accusation that a gay is Haunting
her; his gayness says a lot about the personal
discomfort of the observer. And there is a lot
of that discomfort out there (and among us,
too.)
In short, gays are "different." But our
behavior stands out, not because of what we

If you think about it, the level to which '
heterosexuality is flaunted is this society is
overwhelming. Practically every wedding

every discussion of children; every deodorant

private and med ia statement about sexual and
Tamilian relationships flaunts this nation's
heterosexuality. All we arc demanding, really,
is equal time, and a chance to be what wearc—

And if you wanna call that flaunting it,

I do not mean to downplay the importance
of the faculty or their needs, but those needs
must not be met at the disproportionate expense of the students.
There is space for 438 beds in the Tower. Including the necessary staff rooms, this number
almost equals the current demand for additional on campus housing. But what about
those faculty members now residing in
Mohawk?
The displaced faculty members could either
be doubled up in the single offices on the
Academic Podium (doubling faculty can't be
that bad, after all, students are tripled) or else
they could be relocated at the Draper and
downtown campuses where space is opening
up from the retrenchment of the Allen Center
and Milne School programs.
The final ironyof thiswholesituation isthat
the current set-up is costing SUNYA over
$137,000 in required rent paid to the New
York State Dormitory Authority. This figure
is achieved by multiplying the room rate of
S650 per year by the 438 bed spaces occupied
by the offices. Then divide that figure in half.
The reason it's divided in half is because of an
arrangement SUNYA has with the Dorm
Authority (a separate issue).
Once students moved into the Tower, their
rents would cover this cost while the alternative of doubling faculty or moving them to
Draper would be rent free. This windfall of
SI.17.0(10could then be used to restore many of
Ihe faculty or student service lines in
SUNYA's budget that we thought we were
forced to cm.
So besides being logical and ethically fair to
students, it is clearly economical to house
students rather than faculty in the Mohawk
Tower. So why isn't it being clone? This question must be answered, and answered soon!
Besides, even if President Fields bulks at
both the ideas of either doubling up or using
the Draper complex, there is always the
Wellington!

T w o quick goals in the opening six
minutes o f play proved t o be all
Hudson Valley Community College
needed t o defeat the Albany junior
varsity soccer team in its opener.
Chris Waterbury, assisted by
Randy Cravotta, scored at 4:38 of
the first half to put Hudson Valley
on top to stay. Forty-two seconds
later Dave Loggins assisted Hill
Schcffler for what proved to be the
winning goal.
Albany's only score cumc near the
close of the first half on a free kick by
Steve Harwood.
After the game Coach Evan Congress said, "We played Hudson
Valley's game, not our o w n . Our
play was generally mediocorc with'
o n e or two exceptions."
The second half was filled with
numerous scoring opportunities for
each team, and several outstanding
saves by goalie Hob Jacobson kept
the score 2-1.

sloppy first half. T h e second half,

Wences Rodriguez, helped shut off
Siena's attack. Albany's scores were
registered by Chris Hrown, heating
Siena to the outside, and George

effective Slate punting. A more consistent team effort will be required

The five striking National Football League teams agreed Thursday
to return to work and thus ended, at
least temporarily, the threat that this
weekend's l3regular-seasonopeners
would not be played.
The latest uproar to strike the
NFL was ended following a
marathon 13-hour negotiating session and a five-hour meeting with the
New England Patriots. Randy
Vataha, Patriots' player representative, emerged from a long session
Thursday in Foxboro, Mass., to say
that federal mediator W.J. Usery Jr.
hadconvinccd theclubwhichstarted
the walkout to play this Sunday and
await a contract offer from management on Monday.
The union revealed it had signed a
two-week no-strike pledge with
management, but there remained a
threat Iron.' the Patriots that they
would strike again on Monday if
they don't like management's new
proposal. The other four striking
clubs—the New York Jets, New
York Giants, Washington Redskins
and Detroit Lions—resumed practice Thursday.

Schieffelin said "the goa Is will come.
We're ready to explode," the coach
continued, "and when we do, those
goals will come in bunches."
As the team readies for Saturday
at least two n'ew faces have won
themselves starting assignments.
"1 can't say enough about the
quality performance Pcpc Aguilar
has turned in at the left fullback position," said Schieffelin. "He has won
a starting job. He plays the game
hard-nosed and aggressively, and
that's what we need."
The other new lace will be Simon
Curanovic, a transfer from Ulster
Community College. Curanovic
started for last years' Ulster squad
which was among the top ten in the
nation.
Henry Obwald will be in the net.
The other fullbacks will probably
be Ricardo Rose and Arthur Bedford, both considered steady
veterans by Schieffelin.
The halfbacks joining Curanovic
will be John Rolando and either
Jimmy Alvarez or Carlos Rovito,
and the forwards will line up with
Chepc Ruano at left-wing, Frank
Selca at right inside, either Matty
Denora or Jorge Aguilar at center
inside, and Pascualli Pctriccione at
right wing.

has a real tough personality and we
stiffened."
The Danes came out fired up in
the third quarter as Orin Griffin
opened the scoring by going 23 yards
for the score.
The next time the Danes had the
ball halfback Glen Sowalskie turned
the corner on the left side and
rambled 40 yards for a touchdown.
Ihe Danes missed the conversion
but had what seemed to be a safe
lead, 19-10.
Alfred added a field goal early in
the fourth quarter and those Iwo
missed conversions "began to grow
on us", according to Ford, but
Albany seemed lo be in control of
things.
Then a funny lliing happened.
Alfred was forced lo punt with less
than five minutes lo play and it
appeared Albany would be able to
run the clock oul once it gained
possession. .. But an Albany player
committed a clipping penalty before
ihe Danes had possession of the ball
so Alfred retained possession.
Once again Ihe Danes' defense
stiffened and the offense took over,
but Albany was unable lo move the
ball and was forced to punt.
The Saxons went with a ten man
rush and caught (iriffin before he
could get ihc hall away, giving
Alfred ihc ball on ihc Albany 20yard line Willi one minute, eight
seconds to play.
With no lime outs left, Saxons'
coach Alex Yunevieh called lour

player of the week, a reward for his
line effort. "Griff" rushed for 125
yards in 17 carries and punted six
times for an average of 33 yards in-
cluding one that was blocked.
Albany's defense continued to
shine and gave the ball to theoffense

decided he would keep Alfred in the
game, single-handedly if he had to.

quarter and Alfred took over on the

Dave Madigan ran it in from one

slug il out in the second quarter.
Each time il looked like Albany was

The Albany Great Dane football
team survived a last minute scare
and went on to defeat the Alfred
Saxons 19-13 Saturday at Alfred
Junction.
Ranked number six in the nation,
the Danes have now won thirteen
games in a row. and go up against
number one Ithaca Saturday at I
p.m.
The Danes scored first, and looked as if they might blow the game
open easily. Alfred received the
opening kickoff, but the Albany
defense held tight, and the Danes obtained possesion of the hall on the
Saxons'34 yard line the second time
they had the ball. Five plays later,
Orin (iriffin swept the right side for
seven yards and a touchdown. Al

"We are ready to open our regular
season at RPI Saturday morning, al
10:30," said Albany State varsity
soccer coach Hill Schieffelin after his
Hooters ran their exhibition season
record to 6-1 by sweeping a
triangular with Ulster (1-0) and
Orange (3-0), Tuesday.
"1 believe we are substantially
ahead of where we were at when we
opened last year's dissappointing
campaign," Schieffelin continued.
"Our defense is stronger than ever,
our offense has shown some imp r o v e m e n t , and we've been
dominating play."
The Hooters'lone loss came Saturday versus St. Lawrence, by a 1-0
score d u r i n g t h e
annual
Quadrangular.
"We outshol them 11-I," said
Schieffelin, "but just did not get a
break. I'heir goal was not the best.
Our defense made a mistake, and we
gui burned."
In Ihc olhcr games played Saturday, Albany downed Williams, 2-1,

Teams Solid
"We know those teams are solid,"
said Schieffelin, "and I am pleased
that we were able to handle them as
well as we did, because they play the

that hurt us last season."

Harriers Show WeU
But Lose
by Jon Ltfayette
: Despite losing. Coach. Bob
Munsey felt that his Cross-country
team's performance against a very
strong Boston State team was
"satisfying."
"We ran into » real good team
(Boston State's coach Bill Squires
felt it was the best team he'd ever
had) with the potential to really blow
us out, but we hung in and kept it
tight," said Munsey.
One of the bright spots for Albany
was the performance of freshman
Keith Benman who was named the
Albany runner of the meet. Benman
finished sixth and his time of 26
minutes, 31 seconds was the 18th
best by a Albany runner on the
Dane's five-mile course.'
"Berman did an outstanding job
for a freshman in his first five-mile
meet,"said Munsey. "Hepassedfour
guys on hills and was surrounded by
the opposition most of the race. He
will definitely be heard from in the
fuure."
Captains Carlo Chcrubino and
Chris Burns both looked verystrong
taking second and third places.
Cherubino's time of 25:30 was the
22nd best ever run on the Albany
course and Munsey said that
Chcrubino and Burns are "looking
better than ever."
Boston Slate's Mark Duggin, a
two-mile N.C.A.A. steeplechase
champion, finished first with the
twenty-first best time ever run here,
25:29.8. Cherubino and Burns got
second and third, but two Boston
runners came in ahead of Brian
Davis and Kevin Burnett to make
the score 25 for Boston State and 32
lor Albany.
Munsey said he felt "kind of proud
of the guys, they're in the usual legweary state from running hard in
practice but the next day they come
back with morcspringintheirstcp."
Bring on Coast Guard
The team is looking forward to
Saturday's meet against the Coast
Guard where they will try to even
their record. According to Munsey
they plan to run a controlled race,
trying to run in a pack and help carry
along some of the team. After that
come the "Big Ones" against Army
and Syracuse. Syracuse has their
usual strong team and Army is smar-

Potsdam turned oul to be a nice
place lo visit for the Danes, but if
Coach Hidi Itiirliiigiunc had his way.
Albany would have stayed there
longer. Alter rallying from a 4-0
deficit lo win ihc first game of the
scheduled twinhill, Albany grabbed
an early 3-0 lead ufter two innings of
Ihe second game before the rains
washed everything out.
In the opener, Dane workhorse
John Dollard hooked up with
Potsdam's Jeff Parsons, and il look-

ed like it might be a long afternoon
for the Danes as ihc hosts struck
quickly.
A second inning walk and singleplus an outfield Ihrow to third, put
two runners in scoring position and
Dollard in a hole. A run-scoring
single by John Griffin and an infield
error let two runs in and it was2-0.
Ihc hosts doubled the score in the
third. Another error, a walk, and a
two-run double by designated hitter
Bill ferry, staked Potsdam to a 4-0
lead after three innings -with only
four left. (College doubleheadersare
comprised of iwo seven-inning
games.)
Parsons, meanwhile, had set down
ihe first nine Danes to face him
before Paul Nelson led off ihc fourth
with a walk. Jeff Silverman grounded oul, sending Nelson to second,
and Nelson scored on a double by
Jim Willoughby. One out later, Jeff
Brcglio singled in Willoughby and it
was a"4-2 ballgame.
In the sixth, freshman Howie
Markowitz led off with a walk,
Brcglio hit inloaforceoutatseeond,
but John I race drew a walk, and
Mark Constantine followed with a
single to make it 4-3.
Mark Fuchs followed with a slow

throw, the ball got away and lruce
and Constantine scored to give the

Last Saturday Presidential candidate l-'rcd Harris gave a speech in
downtown Albany's Channcy Hall.
In an attempt to raise support lor his
hid in next year's New York
Democratic primary campaign, the
'Populist' former senator from
Oklahoma told some seventy
enthusiastic onlookers where he
thought America should beheading.
Harris said his candidacy is based
on two main principles; first, that
"people are smurt enough to govern
themselves." Harris attacked
America's support for undemocratic
dictators and the resulting loss of
respect for the U.S. abroad. "After
World War II everyone (in the
world) wanted to be like us. It's just
not like that anymore." He compared the U.S. of today to Mettcrnich's nineteenth century Austria,
which supported the conservative
world status quo, and then he linked
abuse of power overseas to corruption at home: "If you feel...you can
do anything you please about
national security outside your own
shores, then it becomes easy to do
the same here in this country."
The candidate's second principle
calls for ;< "widespread diffusion of
political and economic power."
Harris listed a number of concrete
economic measures he'd support to
accomplish this goal. These include:
1) strict enforcement of anti-trust
laws.
2) "a graduated income tax, not
graduated tax loopholes."
3) a further lax cut of some $15
billion.
4) creation of a public corporation
("like the TV A.") to develop oil and
gas reserves.
5) a limitation on (he production
of cars to only those getting over
twenty mile per gallon of gas.
Most of these ideas, far from
radical, come out of precedents or
existing concepts. Harris admitted
as much when he said, "We need
only put into practice whutwe say we
believe in,"
The former senator cunte down
hard on the idea that "some must be
randomly unemployed so thai prices
will full." instead of fighting infla-
tion by laying people off, said
Harris, a massive jobs program
should be started to provide work.
(Thcinflation resullingfromsuchan
increase in the work force, went
Harris' argument, would be offsc'f
by competitively induced price cuts
caused by Harris'enforcement of the
anti-trust laws.) The Oklahoman
added that he believes much of New
York City's current woes stem from
increased unemployment, which
means less city tax revenue (and
more welfare costs) at a time when
prices arc skyrocketing.
Harris thinks that his unique
brand of populism wil lavoid George
McCiovern's alienation in 1972 of the
working class "Wallace people."
George Wallace and his followers
have no love for the present administration, went Harris, for it is
theywho "are overtaxed by government, laid off in large numbers TI
got their boys killed in Vietnam..."
"The Wallacilcs arc shortchanged on
their image," stated Harris. "They're
called rascist anil jingoist, although
it is the ruling elite who are really
(like that)..."
Kielding questions from the
audience, Harris humourously put
down some so-called myths of
American politics. He termed as
"just so much talk," the image ol the
Democratic Party tearing itself to
pieces every four years. "We (The
Democrats) haven't gone past the second ballot at a convention in thirty
years." He also joked about the
'Great Menlioner.' Supposedly for
an unknown to be considered
seriously for the Presidency,
'newspaper items must appear such
as 'lied Harris has been prominently mentioned among the possible
candidates
for President next
year."
Fred Harris' political strategy
seems very much akin to thai of
George McCiovern's in 1972. For the
past few months he's toured the
country, speaking to youngish,
liberal audiences ol the ty pe who are
likely to volunteer to work actively
in
grass-roots
campaign,
organizations. Such people would be
invaluable in the innumerable
primaries which Harris plans to
enter.
One young 'reformer', after the
meeting had broken up, expressed
fears that upon his nomination,
Harris will lean McGovcrn-likc
towards the political center. Interestingly, what Harris said about
the CIA may give backing to that
misgiving. "Dismantle it," said
Harris upon being questioned about
what he'd do about the intelligence
agency. That was quite a radical
sounding statement, wh ich he fuzzed
however by suggesting that the
various functions of the CTA be
merely transferred to other areas
("you might switch the electronic
surveillance to the Defense Department", e.g.). Thus Harris may be
suspected of sounding more liberal
than he actually is, perhaps in order
to attract that activist support we
mentioned above.

After a month of letter-writing,
fact-finding, telephoning and
waiting, chemistry professor Jerold
Zuckerman is still in the dark as to
whether or not his grievance against
the SUNY Research Foundation is
being seriously considered.
Zuckerman has raised several
questions about the legality of a new
patent waiverand release form being
circulated by the Foundation. The
form was release at the beginning of
August and was described by its
c r e a t o r s as a simpler, less
bureaucratic version of past release
forms.
Trie Foundation, in order to insure the protection of patent rights
for research sponsors, requires that
some sort of formal patent agreement he signed by all individuals
working under grants within the
SUNY system.
Hut Zuckerman claims the new
agreement goes too far. He says it
threatens his academic freedom and
has been unsuccessfully seeking
clarification of certain significant
phrases in it for the past month.
"I'm tired of this and I wish it
would go away," said Zuckerman.
sitting in his office amongst a pile of
forms, letters and documents.
"Maybe they wish I would go away
. . . and think I will." he continued,
referring to the Research Foundation. "If they do, they're making a
mistake."
Zuckerman's grievance deals
mainly with the section that compels
all those who sign the form not to
"disclose any information . . .
relating to. . .discoveries or inventions to others, without the written
approval of the Foundation." According to Zuckerman, this conflicts
with the SUNY Hoard of Trustees
policy
which
guarantees
"unrestricted . . . dissemination
. . . of the conduct, progress, and
results of. . . research."

One person who concurs wlffl..
Zuckerman's interpretation of the
agreement is Steven Ney, attorney
for the American Association of University Professors. He outlines his
own reading of the form ina letter to
Zuckerman dated August 28.
According to Ney, "a plausible
reading of the language. . .is that it
appears to require a faculty member
to refrain from disclosing to all
'others' any information relating tba
discovery unless he has received the
. . . approval of the Research Foundation."
Ney suggests thata clarification be
made of the language in the agreement since, in its present form, it
"may constitute an infringement
upon protected areas of academic
conduct."
President Intervenes
President Fields intervened personally in the matter just hours
before Zuckerman was to have
presented a resolution condemning
the agreement at the first full faculty
meeting of the year on August 26.
Zuckerman agreed not to present the
resolution, with the understanding
that Fields would discuss the subject
with the SUNY Central Administration while he pursued the formal
grievance procedure outlined by the
Foundation.
Since then. Zuckerman has been
trying to get a formal hearing with
Foundtition^pirector Mort Grant.
In accordance with the grievance
guidelines, Zuckerman wrolea letter
to Grant on August 29 requesting
this hearing. So far. Grant has not
responded, even though the
guidelines require that an answer he
given within five days.
"Is he going to follow his own
procedure'.'" asked Zuckerman. "I'd
like to know." Phone calls to Grant
were referred to his lawyer, who
could not be reached for comment.
