It Is 6 in the morning at Barn 22C
at Saratoga Raceway. The grooms
are in the stalls talking to the
horses, shaking out the straw.
Spot, the old, subdued dog, sleeps
on the dark, raked-earth floor.
Toes and Calico and the other cats
wait on Popeye to bring their
breakfast of jelly doughnuts and
chicken. A rooster crows, far off.
Sparrows awake in the dim eaves.
There is the fundamental sound of
water slowly filling a pail.
"I had a good time way down in
Georgia," sings January. Large
safety pins that had done up bandages are fastened to his trouser
leg.
Alston, a slender, amused man
of some abandon whom they call
January, is a groom. He does not
know why he is called January.
"They just call you anything when
you come on the racetrack," he
says. January, who is 63, came on
the racetrack in 1934. He makes
$550 a month, shipping money
and, on occasion, stake money.
January, like other stable grooms,
works a 42 hour week oaring for
ten horses and their stalls. He has
four children. "That's why I ain't
got no money," he says. "Only
things I never had was no money
and no car." January is leery of
cars. Once, when he was 18, his
employer sent him for the papers.
He was reading the dope as he
drove back. "I was sideswiped," he
says, ruefully. "I was scared four
or five days. I wasn't doing no betting then either."
"This is a pretty good game,"
January says. "Nothing wrong
with this job. Ain't nothing to it if
you start on time. Everything all
right. I've fooled around. Now this
is a little easier than fooling with
polo ponies, which I did. War shot
that polo racket." January was
born in Warren County, Va. "I
don't know the town," he says.
"They got counties there." He was
raised in Red Bank, N.J. "I worked
all kinds of farms in Jersey to
make a little spending money. I
worked in a defense plant. This
here job is more exciting. It's not
demeaning."
"Only way to get along with a
horse is find out if they mean or
just roguish. That's the little
secret. A horse like music, you
know. Most generally a horse like
the radio, This is a good game, a
good game, real good game. A
GOOD game."
"Tell your ma and tell your
pa. . .," sings January.

"I'm gonna get a job as a ballboy.
The New York Knicks. A good
job."
"How'd the Knicks do last
night?"
"They lost."
"Morning, Richard. How you
this morning?"
"Still getting up."
"Still make it. Richard had to
decide between the ring and the
racetrack. You heart beating,
Richard? Can you see? You can
still fight."
Richard McKinney is 31 and
once had visions of fighting
professionally. He wasn't much as
an amateur, however. He was born
in Carver, Tenn., wears violet
socks, has six children and is a hot
walker, the humblest and most
"A man can't really say the
world has done him an injustice,"
Richard says. "A man is what he
makes it. The world don't owe me
anything. Just a small chance, I'll
make it. I'm always looking for
something else. One of the advantages the racing game has is the
chance to do something else. You
get around. Do you know a good
job a man could latch on to?"
It is 8:30 a.m. Frank Rodgers, the
assistant trainer, goes down the
row of stalls in his tweed cap, looking in at the quiet, mute horses;
large, dusky, inviolable eyes they
have. Some of the stalls are eerily
lit by light bulbs. Don Hoover, the
young trainer, high pants, container of coffee in his hand, rushes
through to his office in a white
house in the compound between

Holding the horses by a leather
strap called a shank, the hotwalker

counterclockwise, as at the races,
around the walking area. "There's
nothing to it," says Richard,
tonelessly.
Richard would like to get
another job to have a few spending
dollars of his own. "So far, that's

Sometimes he thinks about leaving the racetrack. "You can
always come back here," he says.
Richard has worked outside the
gate from time to time, "I'm not
skilled, I'm semiskilled, I did dry
cleaning, not fancy but that paid
$75 a week too. Last year I worked
in a bakery shop. I wouldn't mind
being a baker, but I'd have to go

daughter and a son. Carmine
makes $600 a month. Much of his

"They're very expensive," he says
in the new voice he is cultivating.
Carmine was born in Brooklyn.
His father had a butcher shop near
the old Roosevelt Raceway and
Carmine beganwalkinghotsthere
when he was 13. "I was always interested in horses," he says. "I
wasn't a bad driver but I had

from it. I used to take 50 Epsotabs a

"To me, this is not an accomplishment. I'm not fulfilling
anything here. It's the best job at
the raceway and I enjoy horses,
but it's like someone getting up
and going to a factory from 9 to 5.
Jog my horses, walk them, go
home, same thing."
The boys casually parade their
horses about the walking ring,
cracking their whips as they approach Hoover and Frank. Hoover
bends down, coffee container in
one hand, the other feeling the
horses' front legs for heat or filling, and, in a rapid, abrupt
monotone, gives the boy his instructions. "Some of them you
have to draw a picture for," he
says wryly. "The general run of

overeverything. Prosperity kills
them or their background kills

were drivers, but that herd—you

"Turn him loose, fat man," a boy
with a pinched, sallow face whom
they call The One and Only Little

Some horses leave the barns and
head for the ti me trials on the mai n

transforms the coat of a horse the
grooms call The Big Red Fox i nto a

go down the road in the dapple of
pin oaks and maples. A sign reads:
Slow. Please Consider The Horses.
"Tally ho. Big One," says The One
and Only Little Wizard, the last to
leave the barn, saluting with his
whip.
The trainer's stand, an elevated
shed, is located at the end of the
stretch. Hoover and Frank climb
up to it. The ornamental fountains
in the infield spurt blowsily, the
rails shine with dew, blackbirds
call sharply and fly across the
track, their shadows proceeding
them. The stable horses walk onto
the track, boys humming, talking
to each other. It is a cold, silent
morning and the clubhouse is as
grand, empty and reposeful as a
Roman ruin.
While the horses are out the
grooms muck out their stalls, tote
the old bedding off in muck sacks,
fork new bedding in and toss and
shake it out, hang up fresh, sweet
feed, fill pails with water and set
them along the walking ring. Then
they sit out in the sun on broken
chairs, bumming cigarettes and
telling lies. The hot-walkers go
around, a melancholy carousel.
Popeye trudges down the row,
followed by cats.

Report To Suggest More
Funds, Profs, For History
by David Lerner
SUNYA President Emmett Fields
may learn today that if he hopes to
have the History Ph.D. resurrected
from its early grave, it will cost more
money, budget crisis or no.
Amid
departmental
reorganizations and possible cutbacks in the number of untenured
faculty, the President's three consultants, hired in August to offer
remedies for an ailing graduate
program, will recommend an addition of at least three renowned
historians to the payroll.
The report will suggest that the
department seek to strengthen itself
in American history, withthegoalof
fully utilizing New York's archives,
and that two senior faculty be hired
in this field. A third historian, according to the consultants, should
perhaps be found in contemporary
European history. "Like the Nazi
p e r i o d , " c o n s u l t a n t Roland
Stromberg of the University of
Wisconsin said. "They don't seem to
be too strong there."
The State Education Department
had concluded that the history
department was not really very
strong anywhere, and on September
I, Commissioner Ewald B. Nyquist
withdrew the registration of the
Ph.D. program here. Nyquist said of
the program at the time that "when
they show substantial improvement,
they can be reregistered. Proposals
by consultants are one thing, putting
them into practice is another. Getting the money for any improvements is their major obstacle."
That obstacle has only grown
sinccthen, and SUNYA officials fear
that before the State Legislature adjourns its special session, it may get
worse.
Referring to plans he will draw up
along the lines of the consultants'
report, Fields said, "I must present a
Humanities Division Diminishes
by Daniel Gaines
According to sources in the administration and faculty, approximately eight teaching positions
will be taken awayfromthe Division
of Humanities next year. Twentythree faculty lines, including those
eight, will be allocated to the Division of Social and Behavioral
Sciences and the Schools of
Business, Education, Criminal
Justice, Public Affairs and Social
Welfare.
These sources said that in
separate letters sent from Executive
and Academic Affairs Vice President Phillip Sirotkin to school and
division deans the exact nature of
the suggested cuts were revealed.
Sirotkin declined however to specify
just what suggestions were made.
Specific recommendations were
made "in some cases, not all" according to Sirotkin's assistant David
Martin.
Sirotkin said the letter would inform the deans what they can expect
t o lose or gai n after faculty contracts
end in June. Most lines will be maintained.
According to Sirotkin. four factors are involved in allocations
decisions: departmental quality,
workload, ccntrality, and consistency with President Emmett Fields'
thrust towards public sector
programs. Centrality refers to the
curriculum's importance in a liberal
arts education.
Though he didn't know what
Student outrage prompted Central Council Wednesday night to
reverse its previous stand
prohibiting athletes from serving on
the committee controlling monies
funding intercollegiate sports.
"They [Council] didn't realize
people vould be upset," commented
SA Vice President Rick Meckler.
Three student-athletes challenged
the prohibition in an SA Supreme
Court case heard last week. They
claimed it was unconstitutional
"discrimination."
Representing the plaintiffs in the
case, Bill Duker of the SA Legal
Commission argued, "One group of
students was singled out—the
athletes. No other groups are singled
out like this, that's why we have discrimination here."
SA President Andy Bauman,
representing SA, countered, "The
[SA] Constitution does allow for discrimination if there is a good reason.
That is, a general conflict of interest
at all times."
The Court ruled that the
membership restriction was constitutional if applied to non-Council
members, The Court reasoned that
the restriction does not hamper slu-
layoffs on junior faculty.
The consultants, however, plan to
tell Fields that a reduction in the
junior history faculty is not advisable, because, as one said, "that's
where the strength is, the potential.
If anything, it's the senior faculty
there now who are the dead wood,
who, on the most part, have not
published much recently."
"Honestly," Stromberg said when
reached in his office at Wisconsin,
"some of the better people arc the
nontenured ones. We would never
think in terms of recommending the
firing of any junior faculty, though
the administration may."
Stromberg added, however, that
he realized the department needs a

Central Council pasted a bill
Wednesday mandating EOPSA to
pay $100 to Sears, Roebuck A Co.,

controversy out of court.
In thestate Supreme Court suit involving Sears, EOPSA, SA, and
former EOPSA President Fred
Stokelin, Sears sought paymentfora
$630 carpet, charging that Stokelin
had used an unauthorized purchase
voucher to buy the rug
Earlier this month, Council voted
to take the suit to court instead of
paying Sears the $630 for the carpet.
State Quad Council Representative
Paul Rosenthal maintained, "Our
contention throughout was that
Sears was at fault."
In the Council action Wednesday
night, some members thought that
although the solution to settle was
economical, the suit should be pursued through the court. However
they weighed the "economics against
principle" and voted 15-2 to settle
the issue out of court.

economical solution" but added that

Cowan Quits As GSPADean
To Return To His Teaching
As to a speculation that Cowan's
resignation came as part of a move
similar to President Ford's realignment of his "team," Cowan says, "1
don't think there's any analogy there
that I know of certainly. I'm completely in agreement with the greater
emphasis the President [of the University] is giving to service to the
state and the community.
"A new administrator might have
some ideas on that that I don't have."
Says Cowan, "I'm also to some
degree convinced that a Dean
probably has most of the effective
ideas that he can carry out in the first
live years of his office."
Cow.'in sees his resignation as
coincidental with the new administration at SUNYA and concludes that, "It's probably a convenient time [to step down], but
there is no necessary connection
between the two."

Sirotkin emphasized the uncertainty surrounding these decisions.

The State's fiscal crisis could mean

The reallocations are part of the
process of building the university
within limited resources that began
with the report of former President
Louis T. Benezet's Select Committee
on Priorities last spring. That report
made recommmendations about the
success and viability of every
academic section of the campus.
Fields says the decisions are his. "I

Political Science professor Walter
Goldstein believes that there is no
reason for Cowan to step down other
than his stated desire to return to

The Albany delegation arrived
first in D.C. at about 8 a.m.
Everyone took off to explore the
capitol for about an hour. We were

Office Building at 9. There we were
to learn how to lobby and exactly
what it was we were lobbying for.
Fact sheets were handed out on
the New York Cityfiscalcrisis, and
on a bill supported by SASU, HR
50. IIR 50 is the Equal Opportunity
and Full Employment Act of 1975,
sponsored in the Senate by Hubert
Humphrey. Students were told to
organize their arguments, and above
all to be very polite. Joyce Chupka,
Legislative Director of SASU
detailed for the students how this
was to be done. "Kiss ass," she said.
Afterthc brief orientation we went
over to the west steps of the Capitol
where we had a permit for over a
thousand people to assemble. There
we waited for the rest of the over

around practicing what we would
say to our vcry own elected official.
Meanwhile a solitary gentleman
was caught up in his own bit of lobbying, much tothe amusement of the
hundreds of students who continued
to arrive at the Capitol steps by the
bus load. About every 15 minutes a
young man faced the Capitol, made
a megaphone with his hands, and
seeming to address himself to the
dome of the Capitol shouted, "Jesus
is coming again." Each proclamation brought giggles from the crowd
of nervous students as the time to
lobby for their cause grew nearer.
After everyone had arrived
(Oneonta had the largest delegation
of 7 buses) the groups soon dispersed
to graba bite to cat, making plans to
meet again nearthe times oftheirappointments with their respective
congressmen.
Unfortunately, the actual lobbying turned out for many to be a
fairly insignificant part of the trip.
SASU had insisted that the best approach was for students to lobby
with their own congressmen but
many students felt this was
worthless. Students from Congressman Norman Lent's district

become numerous and obvious.
The strongest of these is that this
university is dying; intellectually,
spiritually. The Phd. programs are
failing and being eliminated one by
one. They are ineffective beause the
minds within them are becoming ineffective, and the undergraduate
program is perpetuating, even
fostering this condidlion.
Moreover, as the title of the symposium suggests, this condition is
national in our colleges, and is being
extended into society, and into our
moralities.
Professor Stephen Bcrnow. who
with .Mien Center colleague Paul
Raslin coauthored thefirstprcsentat i o n , e x p l a i n e d how administrations, supported and funded
by military-industrial forces, have
accomplished this transgression of
minds through use of specialization.
Students here and elsewhere, he
explained, have become disdplinary
inthdr approach totheir owneducatioa The "competitive inner struggle
of contemporary academia" has
become so overwhelming to the student that advancement within his
singular field of study, and its established guidelines, have become
his to(al preoccupation.
This creates a situation where the
emerging scientist takes sole pride in
the successful completion of his experiment, with no regard for its use
upon leaving his domain. In simpler
terms, the man who fuses the bomb
is not concerned'with the results of
its explosion.
By successfully splitting off the
natural and sodal sdences, by
abolishing interdisiplinary programs
such as the .Allen Center, the university is accomplishing this negative
end.
Bernow calls it,"an education
which denies the linking of science
with life, and so misunderstands the
basis of human function." Such intellectual confinement has become
an insurer of sodal stagnation.
John Stutz, professor of math at
the Allen Center, depicted tenure as
a necessity in this process of stagnation- Acceptance from outside experts, a strong pan of tenure decision, has become the junior faculty
member's major concern .i-.i-. The
result is a faculty which does not
regard its won university and
students as a priority.
SUNYA now lives with this situation, and as Michael Kaufman,

The result is that we have become

Basic Skills Gap Is Found
In Many College Students
•*~-x

\j
by T h e College Press Service
W h e n college students w e r e the
academic elite of their high school
classes, college administrators and
instructors assumed that entering
freshmen knew basic grammar and
composition cold. Now with more
high school students goingto college
and admissions standards at many
schools loosening, college administrators are recognizing the existence of a basic skills gap which
handicaps many college students.
Colleges and universities across
the country are setting up remedial
programs to meet the needs of
students who find they have never
learned how to write in complete
sentences. Basic skills programs are
most prevalent at two-year and community colleges, but the problem has
also surfaced at private four-year
schools which have traditionally
drawn the cream of the high school
crop.
At the University of South Caroling (USC) where lower SAT scores
promp)ed a remedial grammar class
called English 100, the admissions
director blamed the increasing popularity of college for decreasing
proficiency in English skills. "A
broader segment of people taking
the test results in a broader base of
ability being measured." he said,
referring to the declining SAT
scores.
The director of the English 100
program at USC called the program
"a survival course" and accused high
s c h o o l s of over-emphasizing
literal ure at the expense of grammar.
"It isn't always the students' fault
that they lack these skills," she said.
"Most students tell us that the last
time I hey had a grammar review was
I he eighth grade."
Other university officials have
different explanations for the undereducated college student. Jerome
Wcvcr. University College Dean at
Oklahoma University, attributed
part of the problem to the shifts in
high school goals from the three R's
to more social and personal growth.
Others claimed it was a problem
unique to this generation which was
raised' on television and radio. Instructors at ' the University of
California have reported that
students in their freshman English
classes tire not proficient in even the
fundamentals of grammar.
The
remedial English or Subject A supervisor argued that this "illiteracy" was
a "cultural problem, as students in
an electronic society have little
chance to acquire reading-writing
skills."
According to the director of
academic programs at UCT.A, the
television society is to blame for less
e d u c a t e d college students.
"Students today are more verbal," he
said. "They don't read. They don't
have the written skills they once did.
They're TV educated."
Rut a recent report in the Christian Science Monitor holds the
of extra-terrestrial visitation.
"Some cases had multiple
observers who were trained
professionals along with recorded
instrumental sightings. This proves
that there wassomv real stimulus object there but we don't knowwhereit
came from or where it wenl to."
The UFO board has awarded
$5000.00 to challenging cases which
provide some tangible proof but not
enough to determine lhai u was a
UFO from outer space that caused
thcincidcnl. No one has received the
$100,000.00 prize as of yet.

Students Lack Basic Skills
continued from page six
qualifications for admission several
years ago when the competition for
college space was fiercer. For instance, students with S A T verbal
scores of 350 can be admitted t o the
University of S o u t h Carolina, but
enrollment in a basic skills p r o g r a m
is required for freshmen with verbal
scores between 350 and 390.
Although hundreds of colleges
and universities are m a k i n g basic
skills programs available lo their
students, it is often the student's
choice to attend or not t o attend. Unfortunately, many students do not
recognize their own needs for
remedial classes and s p u r n them.
There is still a stigma attached to
classes which set out t o do no more
than teach college students skills
they should have acquired in secondary schools. A n d many colleges
which offer basic skills classes give
little or no college credit for the
hours spent catching up.
But if the basic skills levels of inc o m i n g I r i s h m e n continues t o
decline, students may rush t o the
remedial English courses just to insure their survival in regular college
classrooms.

SB I, now under consideration by
the Senate Judiciary Committee under the leadership of John

intended to update and reform the
US Criminal Code. Instead, the
massive bill would leave the
American public with a legacy of the
Nixon' "law and order" administration.
Under the proposed code, the
death penalty would be restored for
treason, sabotage and murder under
a wide variety of circumstances.
The 1968 anti-riot law, which
makes it a crimeto cross state linesto
incite a riot, would be redrafted. A
"riot" could involve as few as ten
people who create a "grave danger of
imminently causing" damage to
property. But at the same time, a person could be convicted for committinga crime that was provoked orincitcd by a police agent. In this case,
the "incitement to riot" provision

Bombs Away
A leading scientific journal is warning about the possibility that a
single hydrogen bomb explosion
could set off a nuclear chain reaction
through the molecules ol the seas, instantly vaporizing the entire Earth.
This is the warning voice in the
current edition of the Bulletin of the
Atomic Scientists.
The author, Doctor H.C. Dudley.
a professor of radiation physics at
The University of Illinois, says that
no reputable scientist has yet run a
computet calculation on the chances
of a high order fusion explosion
causing "a runaway nuclear chain
reaction."
Doctor Dudley stales that when
the atomic bomb was first designed
in 1945. atomic scientists calculated
at the time that the chances were
slightly less than three in one million
than an uncontrolled chain reaction
might be triggered.
He warns that even with the far
more powerful fusion-type bombs
being exploded today, no one has
bothered to calculate the new odds
of a single explosion being able to
destroy the Earth.

The Albany Student Prase Ait* Section
State University of New York at Albany
The Children of
The Age of Aquarius
by Kim Sutton
Where have all the young men gone?
Gone to soldiers everyone . . .
Thesoothingvoice of Pete Secgcr filled
the theatre, whilcslidesof political figures
of the 60's were flashed on a screen, setting the mood for that special time ten
years ago. Moonchildren by Michael
Weller openedWcdnesday.November 19,
in SUNYA's Main Theatre. Theplayportrays seven college students living in an
apartment off campus in 1965.
We who are students now can
remember our first conceptions of college
life. College consisted of panty raids,
jitterbugs, fraternities, freshman beanies,
beer blasts, and a rowdy good lime in our
cashmere sweaters and Brooks Brothers
jackets. Then, as we entered Junior High
School, our older siblings set us straight.
College was the "sexual revolution," the
"drug culture," and, most importantly,
protesting the immoral Vietnam War.
How times have changed. Sex and
drugs arc commonplace; there is nothing
to unite us all, to draw us together. We no
longer care about student control of the
university. We don't care about much
anymore, except how to enter an unaccomodatingjob nyirJdel, , , , , „ , , . ,
Moonchildren is not only a play about
students protesting war. It is a playabout
young adults desperately trying to find
some meaning to life, tofind out whothey
arc and where they fit in with a new set of
values. It is poignant Because the
audience can identify with the characters
and their universal problems, even
though perhaps wc are now alien to that
era.
Director Edward Golden succeeds with
an excellent script and cast. The petty
flaws of loo short hair and glaringly
stereotyped costumes can be overlooked.
They do not detract from the essentials of
the play.
The set throughout is the kitchen. It is
complete with black-light posters, peace
signs and an American I-'lagdraped over a
beam. The linoleum on the floor is not
quite finished. It's shabby, it's typical and
highly appropriate.
The play begins with Mike, Ruth and
Cootie sitting on the floor in the dark
watching an imaginary cat give birth.
Norman, a graduate student in math, is
sittingat the table waitingforthelightsto
be turned on so he can resume his studying. Dick comes in and immediately
checks the refrigerator to see if anyone
has eaten his hamburgers. Soon after,
Kathy enters, upset because her boyfriend
Bob has been acting strangely lately.
After a discussion of "What could be the
matter with Bob?" he enters. The play
deals with the problems of these seven
people, all living together in one apartment.
As the play progresses Norman goes on
his first peace march. He is the character
with the most depth, the one who undergoes the most change. Norman starts
out "straight" and urifhformed about
Vietnam. He is enlightened by Dick, who
Jakqs rum qn Ihat.first march. X n e r e Norman meets his girlfriend Shelly. The two
of them became committed to the cause,
to the extent that they try to burn
themselves in protest.
Tight Family?
In the meantime, Bob has been called
for his physical. He considers himself as
good as dead. He shuns any help that
Kathy tries to give him and the inevitable
breakup occurs.
A once close "family" disintegrates
throughout the play. The pressures of war
and the future tear them apart as gradua-
Norman, played by Earl Mover, gala aoma comfort and support from Na girlfriend
Shelly, Pamela Nyberg.
tion day moves closer. An idealistic group
of students become disillusioned as they
realize they are not as "tight" as they
thought and the problems of the world
are not being solved.
Mike and Cootie are the two characters
who don't seem to change, they remain
close through the entire play. Michael
Reid and Scott Ferenceare marvelous as
an inseperable comedy team. Their timing is magnificent.
Deborah Ottaviano, as Ruth, is excellent. Ruth becomes hitter as she
realizes that changes are occuring in their
friendships, that there is no longer any
communication between them. Deborah
is more and more convincing as her

character is revealed to the audience.
Also convincing was Earl Moyer. His
characterization of Norman possessed
the depth it needed to make his drastic
change believable.
Pamela Nyberg's Shelley was both
humorous and touching as an airbrained, lonely girl who idolizes Norman
and wants so much to be accepted by the
group.
As the other characters so aptly put it,
"You're a shit, Dick!" John Ryderis both
to be hated and loved. His portrayal of
someone selfish and egotistical, yet with
emotions he is afraid of letting surface is
excellent.
Shelly Sternbach's Kathy at times
shines and one can feel for her hurt at
Bob's rejection of her. At other times she
is unconvincing and her acting is static.
More variation was needed in her
delivery.
Paul Higgins' Bob is most brilliant at
the end of the play. He lets loose the
emotions he has bottled up inside for six
months, creating the most touching moment in the play.

Slogans
A most effective technique was
employed between scenes, that of using
slides and music of the 60's. As the faces
and popular slogans of that time
appeared on a screen, the audience listened to the immortal lyrics of Simon and
Oarfunkel and The Beatles. They served
to remind us of those problems that were
so real then, and now only a hazy blur in
history.
Moonchildren was a superb blend of
what makes good theatre. It was funny
and moving and thought provoking. It
de-mystifies that period and shows us
that, despite the love students had for
each other we now tend to glorify, they
were still individuals who not only felt
strongly about social problems but had
their personal problems to deal with as
well.

A long introduction to " World of
Changes" by Mason's new band, wns
given before he stepped up into the
spotlight. The cheering made it ob-
vious t o Mason that he was more
than welcome back in Albany since
his last visit. After completing his second number, "Every Woman," he
played the title track off his new
album. Split Coconut. This song,
loaded with catchy lyrics, would
send any native off to his local discotheque. Native S U N Y A n s were
clapping and rocking in their seats,
enjoying this tune which was out of
the ordinary Mason repertoire.
It was apparent that Mason had
control oyer his audience giving

Herodotus tells us, it was the capture of Troy by the
Greeks thai first made enemies ol Greeks and Persians.
Herodotus is too good a historiantoaccepl such tales
as a satisfactory explanation ol the historical conflict. "I
prefer to reply on my own knowledge," he says. But
before he reaches this conclusion he makes one remark
which is of interest in a modern context.
"Abducting young women, in their (the Persians')
opinion, is not indeed a lawful act; but it is stupid after
the evenl to make a fuss a bout it. The only sensible thing
is to take no notice; lor it is obvious that no young
woman allows herself to be abducted it she does not
wish to be."
Various women's organizations in recent years have
drawn attention to the plight ol rape victims in our
courls. Quite often a rape victim is asked to prove that
she did nol invite or encourage her attacker. The
Persians' altitude in such matters, as reported by
Herodotus, only shows that this bias, as many other, is
as ancient as the lulls. Hut a bias, even when sanctified
by time, still remains a bias.

Flip Wilson Special Not So Special
by Lon Levin
Following Good Times and MASH is not an easy
task to do. Even an economic speech by Gerald Ford
would be met by a few chuckles instead ol the usual belly
laughs if it was preceeded by these two shows. (The
rumors that President Ford will read a joke beforceach
speech so the public can tell the difference between a
joke and his speeches are totally unfounded). However,
instead of Mister Ford coming o n next, a Flip Wilson
special was shown last Tuesday night.
There he was, good old R i p . He still looked the
same—same cute face, same short neat afro, same
tuxedo. And, what would a Flip Wilson special be
without good old Geruldinc and good old Revcrand
Leroy? Unfortunately, I never got a chance to find out.
All the clever characters Flip used t o portray somehow
just weren't funny. And what was even worse, he offered
nothing new.
The best parts of the show did nol include Flip, but
rather the t w o other guest comedians, Bob Hope and
George Curlin. I hejuxtaposition of their comedic styles
enhanced each other's great talents. George Carlin, the

At the very beginning of Book One of his Histories
Herodotus, the Father of History, explains his purpose.
He wishes, so he states, "to preservethe memory of the
past by putting on record the astonishing achievements
both of our own and of the Asiatic peoples; secondly,
and more particularly, to show h o w t h e t w o races came
into conflict."
Next he tells of four episodes in which myth and
history mingle. Each of these episodes involves the
abduction of a woman cither of a Greek woman by
Eastern peoples or of an Eastern woman by Greeks
and served to generate hostility.
First there was to, daughter ol the king of Argos; she,
according to the Persians, was abducted by Phoenician
sailors and taken to Egypt an interesting variation
from the Greek myth. Then there was Europa, whose
abduction from the Phoenician city ol Tyre is here
attributed not to Zeus but to some Cretans. The third
abi | ""tion. also committed by Greeks, was that of
.'' „>.-a from her native land ol Colchis. And finally,
most famous ol all. there is the story of Helen's
abduction from Sparta. And inthe view ol the Persians,

Don
Portrait of tie Artist
McLean:
As a Disenchanted Poet
A long, long lime ago
I can Hill remember...
And at the lights dimmed and Don McLean walked briskly to the
stage I could remember: the days when tickets for his concerts could
be purchased hours before the performance with a guarantee of an
excellent |seat; the days when mention of his name precipitated no
more than a puzzled stare; the days when I had to hunt and search
several record stores to find a copy of his first album, Tapestry. •
Times have changed. Early last week McLean played to a packed
auditorium in Saratoga. Once a church, now used for folk concerts,
the Great Saratoga Music Hall was the scene of McLean's
performance. The small assembly hall was bulging with an incredible
assortment of people. Old men drawing on unlit pipes accompanied
grammanschool children. Families, students, old couples, and even
conservative!v attired businessmen joined the ranks of the
enthusiastic crowd. Many of them munched on the vegetable soul
food they purchased at the entrance.
The hall provided a perfect backdrop for McLean. Huge Gothic
windows, high ceilings and old upholstered chairs contributed to an
atmoshere that was relaxed, comfortable and completely
unpretentious.Thesounds of McLean's voice and instruments were
sharply and lucidly transmitted throughout the hall. He drowned out
the steady beat of the rain and made us forget the dank, waterlogged
coats and other clothes clinging to our bodies.
The concert was fun. The distinction between performer and
audience was vague. We were asked to sing along and harmonize in
many of the songs. McLean was aware of his audience. In the earlier
days of his career he sometimes got up on stage and stared vacantly
ahead. He sang and spoke little with his veiwers. Sometimes the
concerts seemed like unpleasant, nerve racking ordeals.This time was
different. Perhaps the intimacy of the hall eased the tension and
arrogance that McLean has exhibited in the past.
"I guess you have to figure
what it means to be an

American.
mean
McLean was adequate on guitar, but he outdid himself on the
banjo. He played an instrumental tune he learned from Pete Seeger
and dedicated it to "all of you who likelivinginthe country." Amidst
whistling and foot stomping his fingers flew along the neck of the
instrument. He strummed a clear, resounding sound into the
microphone which had just been "juiced up" upon his request.
McLean became one with his instrument, whistling and stamping
louder than even the audience. He did this often in many of his songs.
Following the instrumental piece, McLean introduced his next song,
a round for everyone to participate in. "This song is good to know. It
keeps you in one piece in times like these." The song, "Babylon", is a
traditional prayer that McLean adapted for the banjo. He broke the
audience up into three groups and in a matter of minutes had
everyone singing a part in the round. McLean helped us all out,
virtually singing all three parts at once. He jumped from section to
section to keep everyone in their correct verse.
Facial and body movements were an important mode of
expression in this concert. They followed appropriately with the
songs. By the different contortions he made, McLean led us alongon
a string, speeding us up when he played "Dreidel,"creating
apprehension and mock fear when he performed "On the Amazon."
In this silly nonsense song, many polysyllabic words are transformed
into monstrous beings lurking through the Amazon jungle.
On the Amazon the prophylactics prowl
On the Amazon the hypodermics howl

In an interview alter the coi rt McLean strengthened and
reinforced my sentiments. When lestioned as to his reasons for
writing songs like" American Pie": I"And I Love You So" McLean
was quick to respond. "[I don'tt it to] end up playing to thirty

All the stalagtiies and vicious vertebrae

All the parasites thai come from Paraguay in Spring . .
Scattered throughout his concert repctoirc of love songs and
broken-heart ballads were songs that echoed disenchantment and
discontent. These songs brought out McLean's feelings about our
commercial, fast-paced, jet-set society. But there are people who
believe that Don McLean has sold out and betrayed the folk tradition
from which his career sprang because of the addition of his catchy
hne melodies.
I his notion of disenchantment was often repeated in our
discussion after the concert, "T. V. is hawkinganythingthcycan cram
down your throat...Nothing is being done anymore for the benefit of
humanity. Everything is being done to sec what it can take from
humanity. "McLean said in disgust. Recently he was being filmed in
his home for a show to appear on cable television. After the
filmmakers had him sing a number or two they ushered him into his
own bathroom, where they wanted to complete the filming. As
McLean explained it, the director and producer were more interested
in the unusual decor in his bathroom then they were in his singing and
performing. They went so far as to suggest that he sing a number in
the bathroom, decorated with many gold records and other unusual
memorabilia.
McLean's disenchantment is blatant in some of his songs. Indirect
contrast to some of his syrupy love songs is "Magdalene Lane." He
knocks down the idealized dreams and fairy tales that we like to
believe in:
Ford."
He spoke between songs: "1 guess you have to figure out what it
means to be an American. It certainly doesn't mean Jerry Ford."
McLean chuckled as he searched for another string for his banjo. His
talk had no definite direction. His ease and confidence in us as
listeners and in himself as a performer shined through.
"You're not supposed to break," he exclaimed while exami ning the
four remaining strings on his banjo. "Damn it, I want to play m>
banjo. How about a four string version of'Ain't She Sweet'." With
that McLean proceeded to sing in a high falsetto, clowning around
while continuing his search for a replacement string.
"T.V. is hawking anything they can

humanity."
Aunt Em's on relief and the tinman's a thief
And even the wizard can't raise the dead.
Disgust for our system of justice and court procedures is answered
in a snappy, slightly bitter retort, "Respectable." McLean stated that
he originally wrote this in direct response to Ted Kennedy and the
Chappaquidack incident.
Well it doesn't matter if she's living or
she's dead
You just drive away forgetting that your bumper's
dipped in red.
He has since modified his view of the situation. "[Ted Kennedy] was
set up. |It was] one of their dirty tricks." McLean was reluctant to
elaborate further. He reached over to his cluttered dressing table and
withdrew a cigarette from the pack of Camel non-filters.
The cigarettes rested atop a copy of Richard Brauligan's classic
Troul/ishingin America. Pabst's Blue Ribbon beer cans and atvempty
fifth of Gordon's Distilled London Dry Gin added to the clutter.
McLean leaned back and took a long drag on his cigarette. "Do
you get nervous before you perform?' He shrugged and wryly smiled,
"I'm always nervous." This was evident, as he began to wind down
after a long and exhausting performance. He stretched his legs out in
front of him, light blue socks sticking out of his Levi jeans. Black
loafers and a matching Levi denim work shirt completed his attire.
The entire concert consisted of already recorded and older tunes.
McLean said that he has no idea when his new album will be released.
"God only knows. I've only written one song for it so far." Bits and
pieces of the problems that he is having with his record company
came up in our discussion. "We're fighting over principles."
McLean spoke a little more about his future plans. An abbreviated
version of the Sloop Clearwater 1969 concert series is being
contemplated in honor of the American Bicentennial, ". . .and I'm
going to Australia in the beginning of 1977." He will also be at the
Bottom Line in New York City during Thanksgiving weekend. As for
other appearances, McLean didn't say much. But there was a guy
who impersonated him down in Florida, "He sold out three shows
and got good reviews."
There is no one who could possibly impersonate Don McLean in
the manner that he performed last week in Saratoga. A highlight of
his performance was his rendition of "The Ballad of Andrew
McKruc." The song deals with a vagabond who died without anyone
to claim his body. A circus troupe took the body and dressed it up in a
tuxedo calling it the "mummified man." They traveled with it for
more than thirty years. The body was finally buried with a tombstone
in Dallas, Texas.

McLean discovered the story in a small article in the N. Y. Times
headlined "Mummy Buried in Dallas." He dedicated the song "The
Ballad of Andrew McKrue" to this man and to other homeless
vagabonds who aimlessly wanderabout the land. Hedonated half the
song's profit to a woman who took care of all the burial
arrangements. When he introduced the song on stage he quipped
about the story, "they have a tombstone for him with a verse [of the
song]. . .and my name. I wasn't very happy about that."
At the end of the long, exciting, bouncing concert, McLean
welcomed some friends to the stage. Frank Wakefield, a musician
who has played with the New Riders of the Purple Sage, Lena
Spencer, who owns and runs Cafe Lena in Saratoga and an
unidentified ma 1 ioined him to finish off the outstanding show. They
sang "This Land is Your Land" with the audience enthusiastically
chiming in. When they left the stage the applause continued loudly,
with many people standing in the aisles, asking for more.
But McLean had had enough. He gave this concert his all and slunk
wearily to his dressing room. Here he was greeted by some older,
middle-aged women who began snapping furiously with their
instamatic cameras. It was here that our entire conversation began
and ended. After fifteen minutes, he got up, zipped himself into his
green army parka, put on the hood and excused himself. "If that's all,
I'm tired. I've got to go."
1 thanked him for his time and the first rate, dynamic perfrm|j|f0jpe
he'gave.
The drive back was long, and the rain was heavy. I examined the
hand that had been shaken by Don McLean. After a moment's
hesitation, I shoved some cold vegetable soul food into my mouth
and settled back, Recalling the evening all 1 could think of was that
McLean's music had made me smile.

Writers of reviews are i nvariably faced wit h
the problem of "What if the concert is really
good"? Nothing is simpler than writing a
review of a bud concert, but how docs one
compliment a group without sounding redundant'.' This was my personal problem in
reviewing the Cleveland String Quartet's concert of November 16. Though marred by certain inconsistancics, the bulk of the Quartet's
playing was truly brilliant.
A factor in the group's favor was the quality
of Page Hall. Located onthe downtown campus, this rather small concert hall provides the
intimacy and wonderful acoustics that
Chamber Music requires. It seems to be one of
those rare auditoriums where "every seat is a
good one!" Even though my seat was on the
balcony, rat her far back, I was able to hear t he
concert perfectly.
The program was started off by the last of
Beethoven's "Early" quartet, Op. 18. No. 6.
Still written in the style of Mozart and Haydn,
the piece only begins to take on the stamp of
Beethoven's individuality in the second and
final movements, especially the finale. Deeply
moving and playing as if they were a single entity and not a collection of individuals, the
group brought out the "flavor" of sorrow
which pervades this fi nal movement. The piece
seemed to bring out the concert. Brilliant
passage work, especially in the slow
movements, with occasional jarring inconsistencies in various parts was the order ol the
day.
!|<il)
IrWJli
Flavor of Beethoven
Having chosen a program with a representative from each of Beethoven's three periods,
the siring quartet Op.59. No.3(Middlc Phase)
j
was next. Nicknamed the "Eroica Quartet," it
is one of Beethoven's works that " . . . probes
the very depths of his soul. . . . finding there
only darkness and lonely despair..." Already
Beethoven has begunthat deepsoul searching'
which so characterized his later works.
Beautiful throughout their performance, the
group excelled on the second movement,
marked Allegro Vivace. The whole movement
is constructed in a huge example of Sonata
Allegro form, so complex that it seems to
overflow the bounds of the string quartet.
Called upon to perform the impossible task
of generating an orchestral volume and quality of sound, the Quartet rose to the occasion,
delivering a performance startling in its
emotional intensity. This emotional depth
showed throughout the piece, along with a
great amount of musical scholarship. Their
playing of the Menuetto is the case in point.
The Menuetto is a deliberate foil to the depth
of the slow movement preceding it. The
Quartet especially pleased me in not trying to
make more ol this movement thanthcre really
is.
Finally, the players performed the "Lite"
quartet. Op. 130 with its original ending, the
Grosse Fuge, intact. If one takes the broadest
aspect of "humour." that is, humour as an expression of mental triumph over the sorrows
of this world, this is Beethoven at his most
humourous. Unfortunately, the Quartet
began to lose their high level of concentration
which made the first half of their program so
inspired. Slill playing through the slow movement with great deliberation and charm, they
"lost it" in the Grosse Fuge. The"Kuge" is ac-
tually two large fugues, each with numerous
variations and combined, at times, with the
other fugue. There was a distinct lack ol focus
about this whole section. Little prominence
was given to separate fugue lines, even when
one instrument's line was more important
t han t he others. Even so. t he piece was very enjoyable, and the individual and collective
enthusiasm ol the group remained high.
There were surprising breaks in the
Quartet's playing, worse because of the wellknown excellence of the players. Even so. a
major part of the concert was beautiful. A
large and varied audience including many
students and professors responded to the
whole concert favorably. In fact, the group
was brought out for an encore, the alternate
ending to Op. 13(1. A very guy and boisterous
finale was performed, with both rapidity and
drive. It was performed to the high standard
which exemplified the concert's first half. The
piece ended the program in fine style.
All factors taken into consideration, the
concert was decidedly excellent, but not up to
the high that I was expecting from the
Cleveland Suing Quartet.

the freedom of artistic expression both on this campus and throughout the nation.
Douglas will undoubt ably be replaced with a conservati vermore likdyto take a cynical
view of pornography as art.
O n this campus there is presently a committee of students and student
administrators working on an X-rated film policy. There is legitimate concern about
recent interpretations by the nation's courts that suggest state-wide consistency as t o
obscenity policy. Hopefully, the campus itself can be defined as a community with its
own "community standards".
In any case, the essential principles of a university should outweigh any worry about
court cases. Suits brought against those involved in the rental, showing or advertising
of pornographic films a r e usually civil cases when they get to court at all. The record .
shows that the risk of a n individual from this campus actually going t o jail is equal t o
the risk of a n Albany earthquake.
The free pursuit of knowledge at a university takes place primarily in the form of
faculty and student research, but its effect spreads to every part of campus life. Freedom
of intellectual investigation is intricately connected t o freedom of speech, expression
and lifestyle.
(b
Pornography may or may not have social value, buts its occasional presence on
campus is surely of educational value in its reflection of society. Limiting X-rated films
would be contradicting one of the essential free pursuits of a modern university.
Of course, the showing of a pornographic film on campus can be contraversial, and
limiting entrance to those with SUNYA I.D. and friends may not only be politically
expedient but morally sound. The university does not wish t o be viewed as a cancer t o
the surrounding community.
,
The most a committee on X-rated films should attempt is a system t o handle
complaints and possibly a document supporting the presentation of all forms of art on
the college campus. No deluge of porno flicks is coming, though if a policy with any
limitations is created there would be a moral obligation to test and break it.

Food Service
Aims To Please
;.;.j by Peter
The demise of this semester's A C T (Assessment of Courses and Teachers)
evaluations is not simply a n indication of student apathy. The failure to find enough
volunteers resulted partly from managerial inefficiency, but then again, the
organization of a fresh set of volunteers each semester is a difficult goal to achieve.
That it was done ttiree semesters is impressive. A C T is too important to be handled in
thi^s, way-it must, instead, be institutionalized.
At many schools ACT-like evaluations are accepted forms of evaluating professors.
At Boston University the school itself bears the cost of publishing the evaluations,
unlike SUNYA, where t h e Studen'PAssociation has to supply the fund,?, A wellexecuted, flexible and useful report on student evaluatipns can play a significant role in
helping students choose courses, departments evaluate professors, a n d administrators
evaluate departments. A C T has not yet been perfected, but it is clear that it can grow
and develop its usefulness. The primary objective now should be to insure that A C T
comes out again next fall, but equal effort must go into its institutionalization. For
example, faculty could be required to handle the evaluation. It should be possible for
ACT to remain in student control with faculty cooperation. If not, Student
Association may need to pay the students who cover classes for ACT. It's worth it.

There have been a number of articles in ihe
ASP recently concerning Food Servieeand iis
committees, contemplated meal hour
revisions, and procedures to follow when
students wish to change their meal plan contracts, Let me clear up the confusion that apparently exists concerning all the phases of
Food Service and its student committees.
Each quad has its own "Food Service Committee." These committees are official committees of their respective Quad Hoards and
they meet every two weeks with the Head C'hel
ol their kitchen and with Ronald Cloud, an
assistant tothe Director of FSA. Surprisingly,
these committees wield a good deal of power
and the chefs and Ronald Cloud arc very
receptive to suggestions and/or complaints.
These committees have been instrumental in
having Food Service recently approve grilled
ham and cheese sandwiches, and upcoming
selections of pizza and hot turkey sandwiches
Tor your luncheon menus. Alter Thanksgiving, hot breakfast will be extended to 9:00
A.M. This is a result of a suggestion made by
one of these committees.
arc working on changing the hours for all Sunday meals and possibly having FSA authorize
an official vegetarian meal plan for next year.
II anyone has any suggestions that would
allect the entire university regarding Food
Service they should contact me or any member
ol the "food Service Advisory Committee."
Finally, let me slate the official policy concerning meal contract changes as devised by
this committee. Anyone, for any reason, can
have their meal contract changed for the Spring Semester 1976. The only stipulations thai
e.xisl include contacting the Food Service Olfice in Ten Eyck Hall during the preregistralion period which ends Nov. 21 and
payinga S3 Tec. Applications for meal contract
changes during a semester and Tor box
dinners lunches must be made to Mr. Peter
Haley of Food Service. His office is also
located in Ten Eyck Hall. These changes will
only be made in special circumstances and
musi be accompanied by some material or
documents thai verily thai the stated circumstances do, indeed, exist.
The chairpersons of each of t hese five committees with E. Norbert Zahm and Peter
Haley, an assistant to the Director of FSA,
comprise another group—The "Food Service
Advisory Committee"—of which I am
chairperson. We meet once every two weeks
on Indian Quad and discuss food service iss ues
that affect this university as a whole. Since
September we've worked on establishing
eligibility criteria for meal contract changes
and for granting box dinners/lunches, defining the official FSA Beer Keg Policy, and
completing a catalogue outlining all the food
related services ofl'ered by FSA, Currently, we
If you have a gri pe thai concerns the food on
your quad alone, gel in touch with the
chairperson of your quad's "Food Committee." Have a brainstorm regarding fond
service that would affect this university as a
whole? Contact me al .107 Tappan Hall.
Problem will) your meal contract? Head over
to Food Service at Ten Eyck Hall. You won't
ever find Quiche Lorraine, lox with city-style
bagels or even kiclbasa served down here, and
the fond is never going to taste like Mom's

make some headway in improving the quality
of the food that is served at this University.

ALBANY STATE
NIGHT
Congress is in the process of drafting the
first standardization of the federal criminal
code in this country's history. S-l (and its
companion bill H.R. 333) calls for reinstatement of the death penalty, abolishment of the
insanity defense, unduly harsh sentencing and
suppression of those forms of social action
that have until now been covered by the bill of
rights. In cases concerning national security,
S-l tosses outthe first and fifth amendments
like so much garbage. In addition, the entire
bill is so vague that it would "force men and
women of good will to guess at the meaning of
thelawand act at their own peril." (AC'I.U).
The history of S-l goes backto I966. when
ex-governor Pat Brown of California was appointed head of the National Commission on
Reform of Federal Criminal Laws. The Commission reported its conclusions to Richard
Nixon in I97I. Rather than submitting them
to Congress. Nixnnturncdthcmovcrto his attorney generals. Mitchell and Kleindeinsl.
who eliminated the bill's liberal sections and
transformed it into a carte blanche fur
political repression. Nixon saw the bill as a
waylo"rcins!atcstahility"and halt I he "growing sense of permissiveness" in America.
(State of the Union Message, 197.1). The present bill, sponsored by senators John
McClellan and Roman Hruskii. isdosertolhe
Mitchell; Kleindeinsl version than the original
Brown Commission report. Although it i i unlikely that H.R. 333 will be voted on by this
Congress, S-l will probably reach the Senate
floor this summer; Hruska is retiring and is
willingto compromise on several points tocnsure passage this year. With or without liberal
revisions, it is obvious from the following examples that the bill is a disaster.
The bill nullifies the 1972 Supreme Court
decision abolishing capital punishment. S-l
advocates the death penalty in cases involving
murder, treason, espionage, or sabotage.
Includcdisaredraftolthc I940scditionact,
used in the McCarthy witch hunt trials, until it
was made inoperative by the 1957 Supreme
Court decision. Violation provides 15

organization allegedly advocating the incitement of othcrstoaction which"al some future
time would facilitate as speedily as circumstances will permit" the destruction of the
government, and where "intent" for such
charge can be shown.
Fines for all felonies would be increased to
SKXMHH) mandatory minimum, sentences are
set with no chance of probation for certain
offenses, thereby eliminating judicial discretion to consider a defendant's record.
The bill would inhibit the prosecution of
wrongdoing by public officials when the illegal
conduct is covered by "an official grant of express permission" and the public official
"acted in reasonable reliance on such statement."
Virtually every kind of civil rights, peace
and other protest action would be threatened
wilh severe penalties under a scries of vaguely
drafted infringements on the right of
assembly, including restrictions on the right to
demonstrate adjacent to wherever authorities
may declare I he "temporary residence" of the

South Vietnam) to prepare for or engage in

every public demonstration, no mailer how
peaceful anil orderly, subject to potential
criminal sanctions.
The S-l is one law around which the battle
must be fought now. If we wait for the A C L U
to bring a class action suit in 5 years, it may be
too late for thousands of people nowfacingor
soon to face trial, particularly prison activists.
It will certainly betoolatefor anyone on death
row.
We urge you to take this bill seriously.
Letters to Congrcsspeople are a start; also
letters to the A C L U recommending that they
change their overall stance on the concept of a
federal revision of the criminal code. One
thing is clear: the rights granted to us by the
Constitution are only a threat to the government when they are used. Demonstrate while
you still can.

Romper Room
Registration
- by Jonathan Levenson"Seniors shall draw class cards first; then
juniors, followed by sophomores and lastly.
Ihe lowly freshmen."
—Aristotle
Thus began one of the most incredibly complex processes outside of open heart surgery —
registration. Ah yes. registration. The word
rolls off the tongue like a piece of fetid cheese.
It brings to mind pictures of depression-era
type dole lines, middle aged women flailing
students with "Sorry, it's closed" and that last
minute prayer to the Lordforthaf'fiflhgut".
The worst pari, of course is the psychological expense involved with the ulcerous
U-lounge labyrinth. While probably a great
way to gel independent study credit for jogging, it's a pain to criss-cross the university
searching for a needed signature here, a closed
section card there, or a rcccipi over yonder.
Hui why? Why is this mind-fucking
procedure in existence? Wilh all the highly
trained and paid management, public administration, orgnui/ulionnl. and systems
analysis skill on this campus, why can't
registration he simplified? Yes. yes. I know,
"we're working on streamlining the system
.•, niglrt and day"
bin it's slill terrible.
If we can send men to the moon, dock space
ships together thousunds of miles away, clone
cellular struct urcs, and elect Nixon twice, surely a relatively simpler method of registration
can be devised. Well, what should be done?
How about forcing administrators to draw
cards for offices, staff, and furniture. It could
probably be done based on the number of
completed memos handled—with Incomplete
memos not countingfor registration purposes.
With all this high powered talent competing
for the roomiest offices wilh the nicest views,
the newest desks, and the cutest secretaries (I
know. I know, that would be sexist) something
positive might result.
Of course, there might be problems with
"slops" due to having neglected the Uniled
Way contribution; the hassles of getting a
closed-office card for a popular building;
possible corruption as administrators draw
cards for friends lower down in the hierarchy,
elc. BUT. it would certainly lead to an eventual (perhaps insiant?) simplification of Ihe
system as more and more brainpower is put
into solving this unsavory situation. Then, we
could apply such knowledge to Ihe Colonial
Quad jungle.

The Albany State Rugby Club
was defeated by the Albany School
of Medicine, 14-6, in the finals of the
Capital District Seven-A-Side
Rugby Tournament Saturday.
The ruggers had defeated the
Albany School of Law in the opening game of the tournament, 14-4.
Scoring for the winners were Bob
Goldberg (twice) and Chuck Rappazzo. Goldberg also kicked a two
point conversion in the victory. '
The second game of the tourney
pitted Albany State against Troy.
Chuck Rappazzo scored twice and
Bob Goldberg booted another conversion to lead Albany to a 10-0 victory.
The Lincoln Park field was in bad
shape because of the previous day's
snow, and the field conditions had a
big influence on the games, according to Albany coach Chuck Rappazzo.
"If you could get outside fast, you
had a good chance of scoring," said
Rappazzo. "With the field the way it
was, long outside runs were the big
ground gainers."
The tournament games consisted
of two seven minute halves. The
scrum was composed of only three
men, with four men playing in the
backfield. As a result, there is very
little punting in seven-a-side play.

the ball, because if you are forced to

said Rappazzo.
The championship game wai
closer than the score indicated.
Albany opened the scoring with
Wences Rodriguez scoring the first
tryof the day. Bob Goldberg, whose
kicking was excellent during the
tournament, added the conversion
points. Albany Med also scored in
the first half, but Albany managed a
6-4 halftime lead.
In the second half, Albany Med
forged a 10-6 lead. In the closing
minutes, State was trying desperately for a score, and managed to force a
punt with a minute left in the game,
but no one was deep to field it. The
result was an easy score for Albany
Med, and the final score was 14-6.
"We were tired going into the
final," said Rappazzo. "The Albany
Med backs were very quick, scoring
twice on long outside runs, so they
deserved the win."
The Albany "B" team also played
in the tourney, compiling a 1-2
record. Their two losses were by
narrow margins, and they played
surprisingly well in the tournament,
according to Rappazzo.

DeBlois Runs Wild As Danes Cop Finale
Cheerleaders: Hoop Next
by M k t P M a n U
The football season hat ended.'
Bui for the Albany State
cbeerleading squad, there i* more to
come.
Basketball season is next, and the
cheerleaders-—-Kathy Burno,
Cathy Davis, Deniie Fuller,
Suzanne Mason, Phyllis Mazzarella,
Ruth Wood, Sue Konefal, Barbara
DeSonee, and Cyndy Holliday—are ready. And if their cheerleading
prowess is not enough to impress the
average fan, their enthusiasm surely
will.
"We like to let them (the football
team) know we're thinking about
them," said co-captain DeSonee.
The crepe-paper barrier the
cheerleaders constructed (for the
Danes to run through), and the
numerous hand-made signs made on
the Danes' behalf are just some indicators of that thoughtfulness.
"We're very willing to work," said
captain Holliday. Three practice
sessions per week in addition to the
actual games attest to that. But, according to the captain, there ii more
to it than that. "Over the yean, the
cheerleaders have gotten more and
more involved in the job," she said.
"They're willing to face the crowd
and lead cheers even when the crowd
does nothing. They try."
"I really enjoyed it (the football
season)," says DeSonee. "But if we
had enough cheerleaders, we could
have two squads and cover a lot
more of the events around here."
Freshman Suzanne Mason finds
her cheerleading job "a lot different"
from high school. She says it is "most
definitely" harder. But she "enjoyed
travelling to other schools" and says
she is "looking foward to the basketball season."
So, when you see the Albany State
cheerleaders on the court during the
upcoming basketball season,
remember: they didn't get there by
accident.

Women V-Ball
Team On Move
EL
by Christine Bellini
With a record of four (4) wins and
one (I) loss, the 'Albany State
women's volleyball club is making a
bit of noise on the courts.
Plagued by an injured achilies tendon, the women's volleyball coach,
Judy Gark, has been temporarily
sidelined and has delegated the job
to Ted Earl, volleyball club administrator, a very enthusiastic
"rookie coach" (in his own words).
A new intercollegiate team must
function under club status on an intercollegiate level foWihtee years
before it can petition the Athletic
Advisory Board for varsity standing.
"We've ndKhfr'hMiiyMMcWedlnV jiTnl IsrteiObnaH
being that weto .a .first, yea/ club,"
said Earl. "We tried to schedule our
matches with other teams capable of
the same caliber of play."
The 15-member club, cut down
from the original 40 women who
signed up consists of one graduate
student, one senior, one junior, four
sophomores, and eight freshmen.
"We have a young club (in both
existence and membership", said
Earl. "We call it a dynasty. They're

"Andy just did a super job with

"I was real proud of the seniors",
Ford continued. "They went out in

"On the whole! the season was

Student Records Source Of Info For Police
,'J„:
'.:.
by Vinny Reda
State Police officials yesterday
acknowledged that information
received during the early 1970's from
university security and administration officials at SUNYA was used to
increase the agency's extensive intelligence files on student protest activities.
Dean of Student Affairs Neil
Brown denied however, that he had
any knowledge of regular contacts
between state police investigators
and campus officials. Such private
meetings were being held at the State
University at Stony Brook at that
time, as reported in Newsday'm midNovember.
The Stony Brook case involved
contact between three campus public
relations officials and State Police
investigator John Tengstrom, who
was supplied with "names of student
radical leaders and groups, as well as
reports on what happened at
demonstrations," according to
Newsday.
The material is now being removed from State Police files because, as
acknowledged by its superintendent
William Connelie, the material "had
no relation to law enforcement." A
report last month had first revealed
that a large system of noncriminal
files existed within the agency.
A Connelie assistant, Douglas
Dales, yesterday admitted that dissident groups and campus radicals
from SUNYA were also placed in
these files.
"We would rather they were termed 'departmental reports'," said
Dales. "They consisted usually of information on a card about someone
we suspected. When nothing panned
out about him, his card was placed in
that file.
"We saw nothing criminal in this,"
Dale added. "If there was a complaint at the university, we simply
followed up on it. 1 think that the
State Police have a right to know
what goes on in this area. Now we
find out that the files are wrong, and
so they go."
John Hcnnigan, assistant director
of SUNYA campus security,
acknowledged that his own
organization had worked with the
state police in special circumstances
during the protest era. "if we knew
that every time a group got together
windows were smashed, we'd give
i hem the necessary information," he
said.
