Approximately 500 people came
yesterday to hear President Emmett
B. Fields translate Carey's 1976-77
Executive Budget into the austere
reality that S U N Y A faces in the immediate future. Fields, speaking at a
special open session of the University Senate, announced the possibility
that he will be forced to cut more
than 88 positions already indicated
by Carey.

Women Hoopsters Crush Siena
by Christine Bellini
Albany State's Women's Varsity
Basketball team scored their first
victory of the season 71-37 at Siena
Wednesday to even their record at
one and one.
The Dancttcs lost to Skidmorc,
61-35, in December.
"We were very unhappy not playing on our own court," said Coach
Barbara Palm. "We were scheduled
to play at home but unfortunately,
because of a mistake, we couldn't get
the facilities."
The Women's team was asked to
go t o Siena because their scheduled
court was to be occupied by intramurals.
"We realize thai Siena wasin close
proximity, but is is the principle thai
counts," continued Palm. "We have
a facility problem because of enrollment and priorities, but we think
that once in awhile we should be
considered a priority."
Brian Barker and Gordy Charles go up fortthe Jump varaua Post.
Despite the abrupt change in
plans, the players were informed at 3
p.m. of their changed location for a
7:30 p.m. game, and the team left
Siena's court with a 16 point lead at
halftime.
Center Mary Ann Crotty led the
way with 10 points. Albany was considered the home team.
"We played a different opponent
this time than with Skidmorc," said
Palm. "Siena has lost some height
and speed since last year, but if we
continue to play a balanced game, I
really think we're going to gel and be
a good team."
Basically Freshmen
This year's team, basically a
freshman squad, consists of seven
freshmen, one sophomore, two
juniors, and one senior. With only
four returnees on the team, it will
lake time lor the squad to gain experience, according to Palm.
"We must rely on speed and
quickness because of our lack of
height," Palm said. "We have no
weak teams on our schedule; each
game we're out to play against good
competition."
Albany finds its stiff est competition against I'olsdam and llarlwick
colleges.
Albany's starling line-up consisted of Mary Ann Crotty-cenler,
Kathy Hnrig-lorward, Mary Ellen
Holey-forward, Nancy Hartlc-guard,
and Tracy Sugihars-guard. High
scorers were Crotty with 16 points,
Sugihara and Ilarig with 14 points
and Sue Winthrop with 12 points.
The speed of Sugihara and precise
shooting of Crotty and Winthrop
helped bring Albany to its first victory of the season.
"Although our endurance wasn't
too good, I'm optimistic for the
season ahead," said Palm. "I just
wonder if the men's varsity team
would have been asked to leavelheir
home court in the same situation.
Needless to say, the players were
very disappointed and upset."
The team's next game will be
home on Wednesday, January 28 at
7:00 p.m. againstCastletonCollege.
AquamenBow To RPI
by Brian Orol
The Albany Aquamcn were crushed in the jaws of RPI Wednesday
night by 73-40.
The Great Danes managed to win
only four of the thirteen events of the
meet.
The brightest lining in Albany's
dark cloud was David Rubin, who
captured half of the Dane's victories,
and set a school record. Rubin's first
race of the Inight was the 1000 yard
Freestyle. His time was 10:44.4, leavi n g the old record of 10:47. in his
wake. After resting just two events,
Jtubin came back to win the 200
yard! Individual Medley with a time
o f 2:15.5. Rubin raced again during
the meet, this time in the 500 yard
Freestyle. His lime was identical to
RPI's Hal Ehrhardt, 5:14.7, but the
judge declared Ehrhardt the winner.
"Thetriple, (the three races David
Rubin swam), is very hard to do,
whether you win or not," said
Albany's coach Ron White. "David
did very well, winning two events,
setting a school record, and just
barely losing the third event."
Other Danes victories included
Artie Rowenbcrg's win in the second
One Meter Diving contest. His point
totul was 180.2, edging RPI's
Courtney by 3.55. The last Dane victory was brought to Albany by
Mitch Rubin, completing the' 200
yeard Butterfly in 2:10.1.
RPI swept all seven points in the
opening event, the 400 yard Medley
Relay, and never relinquished the
lead. The Danes challenged only

Fields asked the committee to
keep three principles in mind as they
weigh the enormous amount of data
in this short time period: "First the
preservation and nurturing of those
programs which are essential and
central to a university; second, the
preservation of quality; and third the
preservation and nurturing of those
programs that uniquely address our
immediate environment—the State

At the conclusion of this remarks,
Fields faced questioning by some of
the faculty members.
Professor Theodore P. Wright of
the Political Science department
stated that the departments of many
members of last year's Select Committee on Priorities suffered the
least. In light of this, he asked how
the findings of this new committee
could possibly be viewed without a
high degree of cynicism.
Fields restated his faith in the
competence of the force's members,
telling Wright that they were drawn
from a wide cross section of universily advisory committees.
Peter Cocks, formerly of the Allen
Center a victim of the last round of
budget cuts -asked if Fields sees any
contradictions in the principles the
committee was being asked to keep
in mind. He wanted t o know if it was
possible lor people who were trying
to please the legislators with its
choice of priorities could possibly be
sensitive to the other areas of
academic importance.
Fields said il is highly probable

and added that, "We will do the best
with the little time we've got."

Militaries Polarized by Unions
PARIS (AP) Attempts to form
military unions has brought unrest
to the armies of France and Italy, but
armed forces in other Western European nations have put the issue
behind them and say they now have
little dissent.
The demand for unions or other
bodies through which draftees could
voice grievances was part of the
evolving social climate in Western
Europe over the past 10 years.
Authorities surveyed by the
Associated Press said that
grievances, although similar, were
not connected and there was no international impetus for the creation
of the unions.
The example of the near—anarchy
in the Portuguese army last year had
little effect on other armed forces in
Europe, except in Italy and France.
There have been contacts between
Portuguese militants and minority
groups in the Italian army, officers in
Rome said, but Italian draftees were
already clamoring for their own union, more pay and better living con-

could mushroom to dangerous
proportions.
In France, too, Portuguese contacts were limited to a left-wing
minority, but the government
lumped this together with a budding
movement for the creation of
military unions and claimed it had
uncovered an international plot to
demoralize the army.
The survey showed that Britain
and Switzerland, because of the particular nature of their armed forces,
have had no union problems and
only minor cases of unrest. The
British armed forces of 340,000 men
and women are made up of
volunteers, and hence are free of the
pressures that conscripts introduce.
Switzerland's 650,000-man army
is made up of citizen-soldiers who
serve for 117 days and then return
every year until the age of 50 for
refresher courses. While serving,
they go home for weekends and
maintain all the rights they have as
civilians.
Greece, despite a mostly conscript
army of 200,000 men paid only $2.50
a month, also has no union or dissent
problems.
Obedience is hammered into the
head of every member of the armed
forces, one source in Athens said.
No military unions for draftees are
allowed in the armed forces of
Norway, Belgium, Austria, Denmark and West Germany, but there
are effective systems in all of them
for grievances to be aired and
demands to be made. They have
worked very well, authorities said.

StudentDorm Vandals
Pose Costly Problem
by Susan E. Miller
Vandalism in the dorms is a major
problem at SUNYA. Furniture
damage, exit sign removal and unnecessary discharging of fire extinguishers are a few of the types of
sabotage cited by Director of
Residences John Welty.
Most damage in the dorms is caused by residents. Welty said, "I think
for the most part, the on-campus
students are responsible for the vandalism. Alumni Quad is an exception as some of the damage can be
traced to people from the local area."
Liz Zivanov, Residence Director
of Waterbury Hall on Alumni Quad,
agrees and adds, "Townies go
through the dorms and punch out
t he ceili ng tiles. Students don't let me
know who docs the damage unless it
is super-extensive."
Damage Intentional
Although some of the damage
found in the dorms is accidental,
Welty feels most of it is intentional.
The most common problem is
lounge furniture destruction and
window breakage. Wherever possible a repair job order request is submitted. If a student is responsible for
the damage she or he is billed directly. A problem arises here as it is difficult to find the culprit in areas that
are frequently used. If the funds arc
not readily available, repairs are
generally delayed.
Two of the most serious problems
in the residence halls are the removal
of fire exit signs and the discharging
of lire extinguishers'.'Welfysaid the
maintenance staff attempts to
replace the damaged signs hut it is
virtually impossible to keep up as
they are constantly being removed.
I he problem of discharged lire extinguishers is obvious. Although
they are checked every two weeks,
there are times that they are empty.
Aside from the general inconvenience caused by these
problems, a major safety problem
arises. Welty commented. "These are
two of our most frustrating
problems. If we should have a fire in
one of the buildings, there can be a
tragic loss of property and life."
Unlike damage caused in the halls
and lounges, vandalism in individual
rooms and suites is much easier to
trace. When students arrive in the
fall, the R.A. for each section completes a room condition form. The
rooms are then checked in the spring, after the students have left. The
process is thorough and three people
actually inspect the room before a
final assessment of the damage is
made. The R.A. makes the initial
check. This is followed by an examination by the hall director and.a
final inspection by a member of
Welly's staff.
Although normal wear and tear is
acceptable, students are billed for
any additional damage. If t he bill for
damage is not paid, there is an official hold placed on transcripts and
future registration privileges.
Damage assessments can be
appealed, but according to Welty,
"There aren't too many successful
appeals as we have accurate
records."
The biggest problem with the billing arises in suites because the cost of
damage is divided equally amongthe
suitemates if the residence office is
not made aware of who is responsible. Last year, students were billed
for over $12,000 worth of damage
Director ol Residence* John Welty pointed out that window breakage and destruction of lounge

and nearly all of it was paid.
Although there has not been a
substantial increase in the amount of
damage over the past few years, Welty feels it is in excess of what should
normally occur, and in the final
analysis, the students will pay. He
said, "The general attitude is that it's
New York State and it is no big
deal. Students fail to realize that the
total damage cost does create a very
real problem."
Another popular attitude is that

Last December the great carpet
case was finally settled, as Sears and
SA lawyers agreed on a $l00out-of
court settlement concerning the rug
installed in the EOPSA office.
The dispute had revolved around
a Scars carpet worth $640 bought
through a voucher by Fred Stokelin,
the former president of EOPSA.
•Although not cleared by SA, Sears
accepted the apparently technically
invalid purchase order, and installed
the rug. Denied payment, Scars had
threatened legal aclion.
According to the Sears affiliated
lawyer. Larry Justice, the store
decided not to press the issue
because it was difficult to determine
exactly who. Fred Stokelin, SA or
EOPSA, was responsible for the
purchase. Sears also did not want to
laniper with "the good relations
we've always had with SA."Or, as SA
President Andy Haumansees it, the
possibility ol bad publicity helped
cause Sears to drop the affair.
Justice says taking back the rug
would have been purposeless as it
had been cut to lit the office and had
been in use for months.
Asked why the unpaid rug was
allowed to leave the store in the first
place. Justice said, "Sears has a
definite [sales] procedure in these
cases, but this time it just wasn't
followed... his[Stokelin's]authority wasn't investigated as properly as
it should have been."
Will there be any further disputes
over the rug'.' SA Controller Stu
Klein thinks not. At a recent
meeting, he warned that student
groups intending to use SA funds for
a purchase who do not get their
vouchers countersigned by SA will
be held personally responsible. But
as SA Vice-President Rick Meckler
said, "As lung as a store accepts a
voucher. .. and as long as someone
wants to put down his signature, it's
hard lo have a fool-proof system."
Both Klein and Meckler feel that
the incident will not affect students'
credit rating with Sears. Whenasked
if he 1 bought credil would he
affected, Justice replied,"Absolutely
not . . . there's no judgement pending, there's no court records, there's SA Vice President Rick Meckler tay* that It's difficult to have a foolproof voucher system, since stores sometimes accept Invalid orders.

decreased to 17,14,11 and 2 percent
as the perceived chance of being
caught increased.
The perceived reaction of the instructor to cheating was also
measured. The instructor's possible
responses to catching someone
cheating were coded from "ignore
the cheating" to "take the student to
the dean for discipline." The data
showed that cheating on exams was
not related to the student's perception of what the instructor would do
if he caught someone cheating.
The class also hypothesized that
class size and importance of the
exam would be related to cheating.
Neither of these ideas worked out.
The data showed that thelowest rate
of cheating occurred in classes having 46 to 60 students. It was higher in
both smaller and larger classes. The
amount of cheating did not vary by
how much the exam affected the
final grade either.
The study also examined a

(Research Methods) class came up
with last semester when they decided
to do astudy of academic cheating at
SUNYA.

that study.
A random sample of 400 undergraduate and non-matriculated
students was obtained from the computer center and the registrar. A
total of 189 interviews were completed. Students without phone
numbers and local addresses were
underrepresented in the completed
interviews.
The interview was designed to
g u a r a n t e e the r e s p o n d e n t ' s
anonymity and to facilitate the
delicate task of asking if the respondent cheated on examinations. The
interview was divided intotwo parts
First, the student interviewer asked
behavior asked the respondent if he
had cheated on his last hourly exam.
This was repeated for up to four
courses. (If the respondent took
more than four courses, a random
technique was used tolimit the interview to just four.) Of those who had
taken at least one hourly exam, thirty percent admitted to having
cheated at least once. Because the
survey did not cover more than four
courses, and because it asked only
about each course's last hourly
exam, the real percent is probably
somewhat higher.
The type of cheating was also
recorded. Of those who cheated, 73
percent looked at another student's
paper; 11 percent had illegal access
to the exam; 9 percent cheated in
some unknown way (i.e., the method
was not precoded); 6 percent used
crib sheets; and only I percent had
someone take the exam for them.
Cheating was also broken down
by classes. The data showed that
about IS percent of the students in
any class cheated on the last exam.
Combined with the type of cheating
i nformation above, t his suggests that
in the "average" class of 100students
on the last hourly exam, 11 looked at
someone else's paper and 4 cheated
in another manner.
Cheating within class was broken
down by type of course, type of exam
and "type" of instructor. The highest
rate of cheating occurred in the
Business School (21 percent) and in
the Division of Social Sciences (18
percent). The lowest rates occurred
SAVE THE A8PI
in the Physical Sciences (I I percent)
and in the Humanities (8 percent).
The type of exam also had strong
relations to cheating. Multiple
choice exams had the highest
cheating rate (21 percent) whereas
essay (10 percent) and math type
problem exams (I I percent) had the
lowest rates.
This suggests that the differences
in cheating rates across divisions
might be due to the type of exams
given by the divisions. A brief
analysis of the data showed that controlling for exam type does not alter
the findings. In other words, if the
same type of exams were given i n all
divisions, then the Physical Sciences
and the Humanities would still have
significantly lower cheating rates
than the Social Sciences and
Business.
Students were also asked to rate
their instructor from "among the
best I've ever had" to "among the
worst I've ever had." Generally, as
the rating of the instructor increased,
the amount of cheating decreased.
but do it anyway. In these cases, they
seem to try to establish support for
their action. Cheaters, more than
non-cheaters, believe that others
cheat, tend to see professors as being
responsible for their cheating, and
have attitudes more supportive of
cheating. It should be noted that no
one in the sample showed real at-
titudinul support for cheating.
In s u m m a r y , examination
cheating is a serious problem. Ai
least one third of the undergraduate
students seem to have engaged in
some form of cheating in the I,ill
term. Most of the cheating was of a
very simple form; namely, looking ai
someone else's paper.

Expanding The Horizons
Of The Art of Modern Dance
by Bob Wong
Modern dancclike most contemporary art
forms, is searching for the frontier of its existence. One dance company that is on that
very frontier is the Viola Farber Dance Company. This company, which performed here at
the PAC Friday January 23, showed what one
group thinks dance is today.
The Viola Farber Dance Company(VFDC)
danced four pieces. Each event was
choreographed by Viola Farber.
The first piece Spare Change (1973) is
typical of Viola Farber's concept of dancing.
"Dance", says Farber, "is anything it wants to
be . . . mainly about moving, not about telling stories."
The music, "North American Time Capsule," by Alvin Lucier is an added dimension
to Farber's concept of dance: dance is dance
and music is music. The two have nothing in
common except custom. Their combination is
more reflexive than out of necessity.
Dissonant to a fault, the seemingly
mcterless electronic music did not parallel the
movements on stage. Both the music and the
dance seemed liketwoseparatecntities, freeto
express themselves without the other's syntax.
The second event was entitled House Guest
(1974). In this solo dance by Jeff Slayton,
Slayton appears in black pants and belt, naked
to the waist.
This dance alternately writhed and flowed.
While on the floor Slayton moved slowly and
with great pains- on his feel he was grasping
for more space and for the ability to move freely. This would lcad~one to*Delieve that the
dancer was lighting'a"§!liiisT"his enclosure, the
body. He was essentially a guest in his own
home, an cxprcssor workingto relieve himself
of confinement. Uncomfortably, yet, as a
guest of honor must, he remains in residence.
Perhaps inthis piece Farber is suggesting what
it feels like to be a dancer.
The third dance was Duel for Susan and
Willi (1974). This exhibited the talents of
Susan Mathcke and Willi Fcuer, in an unconventional fashion that is pure Farber.
In classical ballet the male/female roles are
clearly defined with the male playing the subservient parts. It is the danscur who lifts the
ballerina to her piace in the central importance.
Most modern dances give the male a more
equal role than that found typically in ballet.
At all times the male/female roles are clearly
defined and perhaps glorified as in the 5 by 2
dance company. It is in this piece one gets that
fccli ng that t he roles are defi ned clearly yet left
unglorified.
Here the music added a discrete yet separate
quality in the form of an occasional ringing of
a bell. Thesimplicity of this element helped bring this dance down to a pure level that is
usually not found in most modern dance
duets.
The last dance Soupi, 1973) revealed itself to
be the most exciting of the dances performed
that evening. Lighting was by Beverly Emmons and the music, "String Quartet Describing the Motions of Large Real Bodies" was
written by Robert Ashley.
As the curtain went up, the wing curtains
were gone and all the lighting instruments
could be seen. The dancers in splotched brown
tights moved in pairs, threes, and at times in
unison with everyone on the stage. Soup was
characterized by its comings and goings on
and off the performaliceltrea.*
In a realized attempt to expand the boundaries of the very stage itself, Viola Farber has
also realized an attempt to expand the very
horizons of modern dance.

Symphony Orchestra.
Stirring
Strings
by Steven Eisenmann
Lovers of serious music had much to be
thankful for this weekend. The musical fare
ran the gamut from the playfulness of Ives to
the spiritual other-worldliness of Bcla Bartok.
On Saturday night the Albany Symphony
Orchestra presented a program entitled
"Pops American." This concert of music by
American composers stressed the lighter side,
with an abundance of program type music.
Though there was no performance of "Turkey
in the Straw", neither was there much meat
here. The works that were performed, the
labor of nine American composers, was
highlighted by several popular favorites,
George Gcrshwins' "Porgy and Bess",
Mpnard Bernstein's "Fancy Free Ballet
IWflsic", Charles Ives' "Variations on
America" and Ferde Grofe's "On the Trail"
from his "Grand Canyon Suite". Also featured
wai Aaron Copland*! "Jaia Concerto for
Piano and Orchestra", performed by FindUy
Cockrdl.
These works belong mainly to the type of
music called "program music" or *1one
poems". This music serves to remind the
listener of a specific image or emotion. It is
music as illustration. Its expressive qualities
(that is, its ability to hint at spiritual understanding) arelimited It is music to please
the ear, not stir the heart.
The performance was a "good one. The
orchestra seems to have gained some confidence. The stops were crisp and the strings
seemed to balance well with the winds. The'
wind section was quite strong, with fine performances by Irwin Gilman on flute and
Ranall Ellis on oboe. The final work, Aaron
Copland's "Jazz Concerto" featured Findlay
Cockrell on piano. Cockrell known and loved
by many at SU NY A, played with technical virtuosity, though his purcussiveness was a bit
disturbing.
This weekend also saw the Tokyo String
Quartet in the third concert of the University
celebrity scries at Page Hall. They began with
Mozart's Quartet in C major K465. One of
Mozarts later works, it harkens to the
qualities of Beethoven. It is music of supreme
charm,yet it hints at something greater. There
are moments of melancholy expressive of
anguish. There is not yet the romantic
"triumph amid suffering" so well understood
by the genius of Beethoven, though there are
suggestions.
The next work performed is perhaps one of
the greatest in stringquartet literature. Its use
of multiple tonalities, its dissonances and its
moments of lyricism are a great achievement.
It is music of a highly different order than
"pops". This music is expressive of universal
emotions.
It is music that induces in its listeners a "felt
wisdom." Like great poetry, music can be 1

of man." When it is performed wftrtthe virt uosity that the Tokyo String Quartet bring t^
music, it is a delight. The Quartet's balance
was exquisite. Thffth'fficult shifts in dynamics
and the many stops and starts were pertbrmeJ
brilliantly.

Their performance was the musical

The current fare at the Movies,
Robert Bresson's "Lancelot of the deliberately used to establish a
Lake," is a bad choice to build a new theme that Bresson doesn't feel like
image on. The film, released sharing with us. Is there a pattern

Bresson's premise is novel and

got stuck on Bresson's camera for
the entire shooting. Gawain, asked
what he's up to, replies, "We're in
disagreement over the moon. He
ways it is being strangled by the
clouds. I prefer to think it is drowning." Lite Knights of The Round
fable Meet Albert Camus and the
Myth of Sysyphus. "Give us a goal,"
Gawain later implores King Arthur.
Did he say Godot?
Lancelot is the only character with
any insight, Guinevere (Laura Condominas), his lady love, is his consolation prize after not coming up
with a Grail. There is also a villain,
Mordred, who spends much time
plotting against Lancelot. Mordred
is probably jealous of Lancelot's pizzazz and charisma, but one can't say
for sure. In fact, one best not venture
much more, as far as characterization, that Gawain is a braggart and a
bully, Lancelot is rebellious and
realistic, Arthur is dignified and
responsible. Mordred is the heavy
(hint: black beard). Guinevere is a
girl. In the great tradition of the
cinema of post-war Italy and especially France, motives arc hazy or
non-existent, dialogue is delivered
flatly, and all action is implied.
Bresson usks us to keep out distance
and subsequently, never convinces
me that Arthur and his men were
anything more that a band of rowdy
r o u s t a b o u t s afflicted
with
hyperlense religious fanaticism.
"Mony Python and the Holy Grail"
makes more sense.
ALBANY STUDENT PRESS
Luc Slmon.ltlt, and Laura Condomlnaa In Breaaon'a "Lancelot ol The
Lake": it makee "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" look like an epic.
Bresson's Arthurian vision of
love, piety, courage, and resolution
in the face of mcaninglcssncss, not
very engaging in its concept, is
weakened even further by his odd
camerawork. I believe about half the
shots in the film concentrate on
characters feet and legs. A feeling of
constriction results at first, then
curiousily, and finally resigned
mystification. See it if you didn't like
"Scenes From a Marriage" because
it hud no story.
And speaking of art films (we
were, weren't we?), I'd like to
applaud all my buddies at I. F.G, for
their impressive line-up for this
semester. I apologize for those nasty
things I wrote last Full. I recommend
all of their films highly, especially
"Blow Up" and "The Clowns", and if
you haven't seen "Dr. Slrangelove"
yet, you've just run out of excuses.
Shame on anyone who missed
"Throne of Blood" last week. It was,
admittedly, no "Godzilla," but
where can you get a good catharsis
for fifty cents nowadays?

On Becoming A Tenant
Arrangements for off campus
housing are made directly between
the individual and the managers and
owners of the buildings.
When an individual becomes a tenant, whether in a private home, an
apartment, or a house, she/he enters
into a specific legal relationship with
the landlord of those premises.
Although she/he may never see the
owner—or indeed never know
his/her name—the manager of the
premises acts as the owner's agent
and speaks for him/her. Legally, any
agreement with the manager is an
agreement with the owner.
While normally there is a written
agreement between the landlord and
the tenant which sets out the rights
and duties of their relationship, there
are, in addition, other laws which
also apply to and affect that
relationship. Most of those laws,
however, are set up to take effect
only in the absence of an agreement;
thus, if the agreement contains a
term Which changes the effect of a
law; it will almost invariably be the
agreement, not the law, which will
Almost all tenancies fall within
one of two categories: either they are
under a lease or J.hey are "periodic"
tenancies, usually month-to-month.

Whh or without a written lease,

—to avoid interfering with

—to inform landlord of intent
to move out (30 days notice).
Leases
Almost any conditions for a lease
can be asked by a landlord. Leases
are written by landlords and
therefore usually emphasize responsibility.
A lease is desirable from a tenant's
point of view for really only two
reasons: you are assured of the right
to live on the leased premises for a
specific period of time under conditions which will remain the same,
and you have an established rent
during that period. Otherwise, the
majority of lease provisions are
designed to protect the landlord.
The disadvantages of signing a
lease include: limiting your mobility
by obligating you to a specific place
for a specific length of time for a fixed amount of money. If you sign a
lease with an absurd ciause(s) in it,
you are stuck with it. (Example: "If
any legal proceedings are necessary,
the tenant shall pay all damages,
court costs, interest, expenses, and
attorney's fees, incurred by the
landlord in such proceedings")
Once the terms have been agreed
upon and the lease has been signed,
the provisions it contains can and
probably will be enforced. There are
exceptions—some provisions, even
when written in the lease, are not
legally binding. These include the
withholding of the security deposit
by the landlord for any reason other
than damages caused by tenant
negligence, and any statement which
exempts the landlord or his agents
from liability for negligence.
A verbal agreement is effective for
any period of time up to a year.
Usually this involves a "month-tomonth tenancy", with a renewal of
the agreement every time you pay
rent. This arrangement offers you, as
well as the landlord, the most flexibility. The landlord may change the
rent or other conditions at the beginning of a rental period. Either party
may terminate the agreement with
thirty days notice from payment
date. (If you pay by the week, one
week's notice is needed.)
(Example: If your landlord wants
to raise your rent by $10 he must give
you thirty days n o n c e (a lull paym e n t period). It he tells y o u o n
M a r c h 1 that he wants SIO m o r e , y o u
have two options -to pay the increased rent on April 1st. therebyrenewing your agreement, or pay the
same rent and your landlord can
then give you thirty days notice to
leave the apartment.) Notice by
either the tenant or the landlord
should be written and sent by certified mail if it cannot be delivered
personally.
In deciding whether to accept a
lease, you should examine its
provisions carefully and weigh the
benefits as well as the disadvantages.
If you have questions, take a copy of
it to a lawyer before you sign it. (see
Legal Services section) Do not
hesitate to question any section of
the lease which puzzles you. Don't be
satisfied with answers from the
landlord like "Don't worry about
that, it won't apply to you." If it
won't apply to you then- have it
omitted from the lease. Remember.
All that and only that which is in
writing is legally binding.
Have You Signed Away Your
Rights to Privacy?
Oddly enough, instead of taking
away your right of privacy, many
landlords actually assure you of
privacy in an obscure phrase included in most leases. The phrase usually
says that the tenant shall have the
right to the "quiet enjoyment of the
premises." Even without a specific
clause that prohibits the landlord
from intruding on you, the prohibition of such intrusions is inherent in
the phrase. In fact, you can even sue
the landlord for trespass (unless he
has entered to collect rent that is due,
to comply with health or police
regulations, or to prevent damage).
S o m e l a n d l o r d s protect
themselves from being sued for
trespass by writing a clause that lists
the situations for which they can
enter (such as showing the apartment to prospective tenants or making needed repairs). However, in
most cases, the judge will hold the
landlord to those specific reasons. If
he entered for other reasons without
your permission, you'll probably
win. As one New York judge summarized the situation, "Tenants as
veil as owners are protected by the
ancient maxim that a man's home is
his castle."
CO
cumbered, to dispose ol garbage and
reluse into prouded facilities in a
clean and sanitary manner, to exterminate insects, rodents, or other
pests within his her dwelling unit if
it is the only one infested in the
premises, to keep his her domestic
animals and pets in an appropriate
manner and under control, and
maintain cooking and refrigeration
equipment in proper operating condition if these are provided by the tenant.
It should be noted that this housing code, as well as most leases, are
written from a landlord's point of
view and thus basically emphasize
tenant responsibilities. Don't forget,
landlord's are big owners and are
usually active in local politics, which
may account for laws favorable to
landlords.
Here are some of the housi ngstandards from the Code:
Plumbing:
Plumbing fixtures in each dwelling unit must include one kitchen
sink, one water closet, one bathtub
or shower, and one lavatory. The
water supply system shall be installed and maintained so as to
provide at all times a supply of water
to all plumbing fixtures sufficient
volume and at pressures adequate to
enable them to function satisfactorily and without undue noise under
normal conditions of use. Buildings
must be provided with plumbing
systems designed to dispose of
sewage from all fixtures. Cold water
must be furnished to every water
closet and urinal, and hot and cold
water to every sink, lavatory,
bathtub, and shower. Hot water
must be at least 120° F. Potabel (approved for drinking) water must be
available at all times in residential
buildings.
Heat
Buildings intended for occupancy between September 15 and
June 15 must be provided with
heating equipment designed to
maintain a temperature of not less
than 70° F. at a distance of three ft.
from exterior walls and at a level of 5
feet above the floor. The capability
of the heating equipment to maintain such indoor temperatures shall
be based on outdoor temperatures of
-10°F. Heat shall be provided to
maintain the indoor temperature at
70° F. 3when outside temperature
tails below 55 IFuel burning water heaters shall
not be located in sleeping rooms,
bathrooms, or toilet rooms.
Lighting:
Habitable space (space occupied
for living, sleeping, eating, or cooking) must be provided with electric
light. Thereshall be a switch or other
means for controlling a light in each
dwelling unit near the point of entrance to each unit. Electrical wiring
and equipment shall be firmly
secured to the surface on which it is
mounted. Every habitable space
must also have natural light thru one
or more windows or other
transparent or translucent surfaces.
This window in each habitable space

Eviction
Normally, a landlord must give
thirty days notice (one payment
period) to terminate a month-tomonth tenancy or request a mutual
breaking of a written lease.
However, in some circumstances, a
tenant may be evicted in less than
tnirtydays. When a landlord wants a
tenant out in less than 30 days and
thetenant wants tostay, the landlord
must obtain a court-ordered eviction
through a Summary Proceeding.
77i« is the only legal method of eviction. Do not be intimidated by verbal threats orofficiallookingnotices
drawn up by a landlord as these will
not stand up legally. New York State
law also makes it illegal for the
landlord to turn off the utilities in
order to force eviction or pavment of
bills.
Eviction proceedings may be
begun by the landlord when atenant
remains in possession of the
landlord's property, refusesto payor
defaults on the rent or other
assessments s/he has agreed to pay,
or uses the premises for illegal purposes. A petition must be served to
the tenant stating the date, time, and
place of the hearing. This petition
may be served personally, or may be
left "nailed" to the door or with a
person of suitable age as long as an
additional copy is mailed by certified
mail. Make sure you show up i„
court for such a hearing—you lose
automatically if youdon't. Although
you don't need a lawyer, having one
might be helpful, (see Legal Services

if you have rented a furnished
apartment you wont have to worry
about furniture. If your apartment is
unfurnished, you win have to move
in furniture you already have or
borrow, rent, or buy furniture.
If you move in furniture, you will
need either a friend with a truck, a
rented truck, or a moving company.
A friend with a truck is usually the
cheapest way to move. A U-Haul
trailer (4 feet by 6 feet) can be rented
for $12.30 plus a $10.00 deposit for
24 hours. A 12foot van can be rented
for $20.00, 22c a mile, $5.00 for insurance, plus a $40.00 refundable
deposit- (Look in the Yellow Pages
of the telephone book under
"trailers" for places to rent UHaub.) A moving company is usually the most expensive way to move.
(Look in the Yellow Pages under
"moving").
Used furniture may be purchased
at many places in Albany. The
Salvation Army store is located at
. 432 Clinton Avenue and has used
furniture for sale. Other stores in
Albany also nave used furniture—
Used Furniture Discount Center, 69
Central Avenue (463-3221), Used
-Furniture Outlet, 73 Central Avenue
(434-1770), and Community Church
Thrift Shop, 304 Lark Street (4632702) are a few used furniture stores
in Albany. Others are listed in the
. VeUow Pagesunder"furnitureused."
Check the Albany newspapers
(Times Union, Knickerbocker
News) for auctions and garage sales.
These are both sources of used furniture as well a* other household
items. Check the classified ads in the
" Albany papers and the ASPiot furniture and other household items.
There are a couple of places to rent
fmuilurc near Albany—Standard
Furniture Rentals, 690 New Loudon
Road, Latham (783-7711) and
Albany-Sherman Furniture rentals.
Route 9, one-fourth mile south of
Latham Circle (785-3050). You can
rent furniture for the living room,
bedroom, and kitchen for about
$25.00.
You can also rent furniture by the
piece at both of these stores, but
Albany-Sherman Furniture requires
a minimum rental of $20 per month.
A damage deposit of about one
month's Tent is required by both
.stores, as is a delivery and pick-up
charge of about $25.00. If you decide
- to buy the furniture, the first twelve
months rent and the damage deposit
may be applied toward the purchase
price. Prices differ between the two
stores and it is best to call or go and
check out the prices.
Before making any improvements
(painting, wallpapering, etc) make
sure you understand who is responsible for buying the materials and doing the labor. New York State law
says "When a landlord agrees to pay
for any improvements the tenant
may make, if the tenant does make
improvements, even though under
no obligation to do so, then the
landlord is obligated to pay for
them." Note that it must be agreed
beforehand that the landlord will
pay for any improvements. If you
don't have such an agreement in
writing, it will be very difficult, if not
impossible t o prove that such an
agreement existed.
Security
Keeping your guard up means a
lot more than simply laying out
money for expensive locks and the
like. Experts think of security as a
" p r o g r a m " which includes
hardware, routine procedures, and
large doses of common sense.
Following is a checklist you can
use in blocking out your own security program. Each item will then be
brought into detail after the list.
—You can get a good idea of
quality of a lock by judging the
amount of material used in it's construction. If a lock has a "dead bolt"
or a "dead locking latch", that's in its
favor.
—Close the door and see if it
rattles. Give it a good shove and try
to force it.
—If the door has glass, it should
also be equipped with double
cylinder locks. These are key
operated from inside as well as o u t
—The door hinges should be inside. If they're on the outside,
anyone can pull out the hinge pins
and, voila!—instant entry.
—If you have an inside room that
can be locked, so much the better.
It's a good place to stow valuables
when you're away.
—Immediately report any
burned-out hallway bulbs, lost keys,
or faulty locks to your landlord.
—Invest in insurance t o cover personal property losses and keep
securities or papers that can't be
replaced in a bank box.
—Have your valuables marked
with an engraving pen for quick
identification purposes. Monogram
the item in a visible place to dis-
courage a thief from taking it.
—When going out, lock your
apartment and leave a lamp burning.
You can buy inexpensive timers that
operate lights and/or radios at appropriate hours.
—If you will begoneformorethana
day or two, notify the landlord and
the police (the police will put on a
"housewatch" and keep a special eye
on your apartment). Stop all regular
deliveries (newspaper, mail, etc.)
The Post Office will hold your mail
until you return.
—Door Security Most apartment doors have the traditional keyin-the-knob lock. In addition to this
is a mortise which has a spring latch
with a dead bolt worked by an inside
thumb knob on your key on the outside. If you feel your key-in-theknob lock is flimsy, it can be replaced readily with a heavy-duty unit
from $20 to $50.
Your door's main line of defense is
its second or auxiliary lock ($15 to
$21). You can have a field day shopping for one, but putting your trust
in a well-equipped locksmith shop
will save hours of confusion and
assure a professional installation.
These locks have horizontal
workings, extra heavy dead bolts that
discourage jimmying.
There are many other types of
locks available but the cost soon
becomes so much that your biggest
loss from theft would be the lock.
— Window Security you can
purchase a window lock (similar to
door locks) from $3 to $5. Some even
have battery operated alarms.
Interior Security—inexpensive
and easily installed one way
peepholes ($1.50 and up) belong on
front doors. Insist on one that gives
you a fully wide angle view at your
entrances.
Electric Timers—An automatic
timer in every room facing a street
lets you turn lights on and off when
you are out ($9 and up). Variable
timers are better for extended
periods because they have two settings which turn lights on and off at
different times each day (Sll and
up). Because many burglaries take
place in the afternoon, it's good to set
a radio to a timer.
Panic Buttons can be easily rigged
next to your bed (or else where if
desired) for about $20. By merely
touching ths button, lights go on else
where in the apartment and a loud
horn blasts , scaring away any intruders.

The Case For Tenants Insurance
All Items of value on these
premises have been marked for
ready identification by Law
Enforcement Agencies.
Operation ID
This is a program whereby the
police have available an engraving
pen for you to etch your social
security number on all your
valuables. They alsosupplyyouwith
cards (to be placed in windows and
doors) warning intruders that your
belongings "have been marked for
ready identification by law enforcement agencies". The University
Police also have engraving pens
available, but they are not participating in the program.
Police Security Check
The Police also supply other services. They will watch your house
while you're away and if you live
within the area bounded by Myrtle.
Lake, Swan and Washington
Avenue along the Park, call 4634141, ext. 243 (Burglary). The detective there will come out to your home
and give a security check, engrave
valuables, and give you the sticker.
This is a special detective unit, funded with a federal grant, due to the
high crime rate in that area.
If you live west of Lake St., go to
the Division 1 station (on Madison
and Western) where you can borrow
an engraving pen, get stickers and
make a list of your valuable to be
given to the police.
The sticker is the biggest
deterrance against robbery. The
markings help in proving where the
items came from, in the event of a
robbery
If You've Been Robbed
First, don't play Sam Spade and
rush into check things out. The in-
truder might still be there. Go to a
neighbor's, call the police, report the
break-in. and have them send over
an officer.
When he arrives, let the officer
into the apartment ahead of you so
he can check to make sure no one's
there. Then begin your own complete survey, taking care not to disturb potential evidence such as
fingerprints, damaged or ransacked
property, or objects left by the
looter.
While he's there, the officer will
ask you to file a report with as complete a list as possible of everything
missing. You'd do well to keep an
itemized list of makes, models, serial
numbers, and Operation ID
numbers of all valuables and
appliances.
To avoid possible complications
in filing insurance claims, it's a good
idea to go one step further and have
your valuables photographed. Take
pictures now and send them to your
parents for safekeeping. Then, in
case you're robbed, you can enclose
the photos when you send in the
claim papers.
There's a good chance that the
police will send a detective to follow
up the initial investigation. Hell ask
a lot of questions, so be patient. And
keep in mind thatthisdetective may
also want to fingerprint your apartment.
Next, contact the landlord, especially if it was a faulty door lock or
defect in the main security system
that contributed to the break-in. Ask
to replace the lock and/or take
further precautions to assure better
security for the entire building.
If you have a tenant's insurance
policy that provides similar
coverage, report the losses to your
A common assumption of many
tenants is that their belongings are
protected from theft and fire under
the owner's insurance plan. This is
frequently not the case. Unfortunately, too many tenants do not
find this out until it is too late. This
section will, therefore, acquaint the
tenant with the provisions of a
typical tenant's insurance policy
(which can be purchased for as little
as S28 per year) and offer
suggestions for purchasing such a
policy.
Most family homeowners' policies
cover you even if you are "off the
premises", but sometimes they set
limits. Youshouldchecktoseeifyou
are covered by your family's policy,
and if there is a limit, how much?
(Note: Studentslivingindormitories
are not covered by the University. If
you're not covered by your parents'
policy this policy can still be
applied.)
If you want to get your own
policy, tenants insurance is your best
bet. The smallest coverage available
covers $4,000 at approximately S28
and up (depending on type of structure and location of dwelling, etc.)
per year. It handles everything from
fire to tornadoes and theft due to
riots.
Like auto insurance, an agent
might not underwrite a policy for
you because of the risk involved.
Character does play a major role in '
his/ her decision and even the area in
which you live can make a big
difference if it is classified as a high
crime area.
These policies are generally
written for either families or for individuals. Most agents will not underwrite a policy for more than one
person if they are unrelated, because
the risk of theft and accidents are
higher and because previous
students have ripped them off.
In order to get the best deal. look
in the Yellow Pages for an independent insurance agent because they
represent many companies from
which they can probably find a
policy for you.

To the Editor:
An article ("Bus Services Cut at Prime
Hours") in the Friday, Jan. 23 edition of the
ASP quoted Plant Superintendent Ira DeVoe
as having said that he has had little cooperation from students in the matter of reduced
bus service between the uptown and downtown campuses, and that "students should be
willing to leave for uptown Ave or ten minutes
earlier" than usual to alleviate overcrowding
I feel that we students have been more than
cooperative regarding the bus situation. I
don't mind leaving five or ten minutes earlier
for a class uptown, however, I do mind that, in
order to be on time for my 10:10 a.m. class on
Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have to leave my
room at 9:10 a.m. It seems absurd that one has
to allot an hour's time to go three miles on a
bus. I also resent the fact that I cannot get on
the bus at the Alumni Quad bus stop, but must
walk to Quail Street just to get on.
This, 1 feel, shows cooperation on my part
and on the part of my fellow students (since
they must go through the same hassles to get to
their classes).
Perhaps Mr. DeVoe should spend more
time working with students on improving the
bus schedule and less time complaining to the
ASP about the lack of cooperation he is
receiving.

To the editor:
It is my understanding that the future of the
Environmental Studies Program at SUN YA is
in jeopardy. As an alumnus workinginthe environmental field I can only begin to express
my consternation for the prospect of having
the department absorbed by another, or disolved.
The interdisciplinary nature of thisfield,as
well as the need for identity and respect, obviate the need for Environmental Studies to be
an entity unto itself with the full support of the
university behind it. Environmental concerns
have matured from "pulling tires from
streams" to a scientifically based and politically potent national force. Inorderto effectively
integrate environmental concerns with
various planning and decision-making
processes, the academic world must produce
environmental professionals, not professional
environmentalists. To this end 1 hope you will
dedicate yourself to maintaining an Environmental Studies Department within
which a high quality multi-disciplinary education may be obtained for those who wish to
pursue a life protecting the public health and
welfare through environmental careers.

I strongly urge you to do all you can to ensure the continued operation, autonomy, and

To the Editor:
I have had it with professors who insist
upon 'regular' attendance, with a tone that
clearly announces that marks will suffer
without it. Are these teachers too blinded by
their incompetence to realize that one only
needs to insist students show up when one's
teaching ability tells them not to waste their
time?
I suppose fear prompts attendance demands
in many instances, department chairmen
frown upon instructors who have no students
showing up for their classes. Last semester I
had one 'teacher' who, for three weeks at the
end of the semester, had the dass show up at 9
a.m. just to sign an attendance sheet. Then the
teacher would ask is there were any questions
about the term project, which there never
were, and would dismiss lis, "to the library, to
work on your papers." 1 doubt his intent was
to enlighten us as to the joys early morning
research (most of us had yet to fully awaken),
rather he could collect his paycheck, and
document class-teaching time without doing
anything For this I pay my tuition dollars?

I'll grant that there are some courses where
in-class verbal interplay is important, but
those courses usually don't have to threaten
grades to have students show up. But too often
"the importance of class participation" is cited
as a reason for demanding that a student
shows up (whether or not they get anything
out of it), when there is little actual class participation. And that which is called
'important-class-participation' is nothing
more than student-hopping ("Well, that's important too, Jon, but it's not what I'm looking
for . . .") until one student is found who
finishes the sentence as the teacher would.
The teacher who insists that his students
show up is announcing his incompetence, and
forewarning his students of what the semester
holds in store.

The latest craze in gifts, they tell me, is to give that special someone a pet rock. Some guy out
on the West Coast is making a fortune putting polished rocks in cute little cardboard boxes with
a funny booklet which explains about your new pet (such as feeding:Don't worry about it;
Tricks: Lie down. Slay, Play Dead, Fall, etc.) These things are selling like crazy in thefinestof
stores, and quite a lot of people are getting a kick out of them (including my housemate who had
the exact same idea three years ago and did nothing with it, and is kicking himself). Hut for all
these people who think they arefindingthe joys of pet ownership through an inanimatelump of
igneous material, 1 feel nothing but pity.
The true exhilarations and exasperations of a relationship between a person and their pet lies,
rather, between human and living, feeling, thinking, acting entity. I speak, of course, of the

How important is an English Ph.D. program to this university? There has been a
great deal of disagreement about this since President Fields began his attempt to
resurrect the English doctoral program, terminated last month by State Education
Commissioner Ewald B. Nyquisl.
Fields believes the English Ph.D. is important Prestige, English's centrality in a
university and quality are surely factors in that belief. But these reasons for Fields'
effort are by themselves unsatisfying.
This issue is further blurred by a confusion between quality and the Ph. D. program.
Fields told an ASP reporter that "whether or not it [the English department] has a
degree, it ought to have a faculty capability to give the degree." Yet Fields must
recognize that quality education and quality faculty are not synonymous, and that
there is a high price paid in undergraduate learning for obtaining a scholarly faculty
without having the Ph.D.
Fields' entire plan could easily do more harm than good. We don't think it's worth
the risk.

To the Editor:
As an alumnus ('73), and as one who worked on establishing the Environmental Studies
Program, I am deeply troubled by the recent
suggestions to incorporate the program into
another department.
Environmental Studies grew out of the
recognition of the failure of traditional
educational programs (being narrow and
fragmented) in preparing students to assume
responsible roles in society. The value of the
traditional education has, consequently, been
questioned and fallen prey to charges of
irrelevancy. Much of this criticism can be
justified.
Environmental Studies provides a unique
opportunity for students to receive a broad
and flexible education, one that can be more
appropriate to the students' future needsand
one that encourages the well balanced
development of people as individuals.
As a major social institution, the University
has a responsibility to integrate its educational
programs with the social needs, and planning
and decision-making functions, by preparing
people who can capably assume positions of
responsibility. A strong, integrated, interdisciplinary education is a prerequisite for the
responsible and competent exercise of
leadership, administration;, and planning in
society, The university is in a position to
provide such educations, and it should respond to such needs as they develop,
To integrate Environmental Studies with
another department will not only contravene
the raison d'etre of the program, but will
I can still remember how my pet pen looked when I first got her. (I use the female gender as I
am referring to a mechanical pencil—and a beautiful, lusterous one at that! Since the word
'pencil' conjures up an image of a cheap yellow splint of wood, we use pen, and refer toil in the
female. Hut you knew that.
Her brother was also given to me at the same time, a fine, strong, broad pointed fellow. But,
alas, he was lost one fateful day in the Campus Center a few months ago, -but please, I'd
rather not talk about it . . . sniff, sniff. . .)
lie regains his composure . . .
Ahem! Well, I looked down at her, lying there so jewel-like and frail beneath her protective
elastic loop, and then turned my head and thoughts towards the horizon, towards the future. 1
realized then that everything this pet of mine would ever be was in my control. I took a pledge to
make my pen all it was capable of being!
1 planned Feeling's education well. (1 called her Feelingso I could tell people that I write with
Feeling.) I sat in on a myriad of courses here at school, taking notes with Feeling in each, to
develop her knowledge of this complex world, so difficult for a lone writing instrument to learn.
Some friends questioned if I wasn't wasting a lot of time on a mechanical pencil.
The fools, my pen now has a higher I.Q. than they do! My pen can write in five different
languages, my pen can do computer flowcharting, my pen can do income taxes. Look who's
laughing now, hahahah!
And it's not like I'm limited to write in only one color with Feeling. If I want my pen to write,
say, red, then by golly, 'red' will be written. You say you want blue? 'Blue.' Green? 'Green.' And
'Orange,' 'Lavender' or 'Plaid.' My pet is a versatile, wonderful companion.
But in all fairness, 1 should also note some of the drawbacks of pen ownership. Not all pens are
perfect, in fact few are.
On several occasions, when I was taking an exam with my cherished, she decided to play with
me, mischievously changing my correct answer and instead writing a wrong one. What an elf-like
pixie, you're probably thinking, but it caused me real trouble . . . Believe it or not, teachers were
unsympathetic to my explanation when I told it to them after getting my test buck, Can you
imagine? They didn't understand.
Only once was I unfaithful to Feeling. I was hustled by this foxy electric typewriter. 1 tell you,
she looked slick, moved fast, and had a special touch control. I was dazzled for a while, but it
soon wore off and we parted ways. She was so meticulous, every goddam letter had to be perfect.
But the deciding thing was shen I realized her style was Elite, you know the type. So I left that
Elitist mid article and finished up with Feeling.
And it felt good lo be back with my pen pal.
ALBANY STUDENT PRESS
I
Late last semester the Board of Directors'of what used to be called Faculty-Student
Association (FSA) voted t o remove the Campus Center barbershop so it could be
replaced by a Student Association-sponsored food co-op. FSA, now called U A S
(University Auxiliary Services), came under student control last semester, which explains how the barbershop was moved. Student Association had been trying to remove
the shop for two years.
One argument often used by UAS General Manager Norbert Zahm and Vice President for Management and Planning John Hartley (when Hartley was UAS President)
was that there was no place t o put the barbershop if it were removed.
Yet late i n this semester, when new student UAS President Stu Klein made it clear to
Zahm the shop had to be out by this semester, Hartley promptly found a spot under the
Social Science building.
Hartley was able to do this before intersession even began, though all other space
assignments at SUNYA have taken months or years of committee work, reports and
bureaucratic delays.
Student organizations have the most problems with space, partly because of their
unfamiliarity of and impatience with SUNYA bureaucracy. Yet there are pressing
needs for more student-oriented space on this campus. An FM W S U A will need a
better site, for example, and proposals for head shops, record co-ops, liquor stores and
other operations have been around for a long time.
The barbershop move provides an unexpected solution to these problems. Hartley
obviously thinks the barbershop is important, so the next step is to convince the UAS
board to uproot the barbershop to make space for something the students deem more
important. When Hartley pulls another room out of the bowels of the podium for the
displaced barbershop, students should kick it out again to replace it with some other
more useful service.
From then on it's simple. Students find a need for something, UAS transfers the
barbershop space to it. Hartley finds a new spot and so on. Student groups will stake
out spots all around Ihe podium, trying to convince Hartley to put the barbershop in
"their" spot. Eventually Hartley will be displacing academic offices and classrooms, all
to the benefit of student groups. As the barbers march from place to place, students will
march behind them, taking increasing amounts of space until they occupy the entire
podium.
In this way students will finally agree that a barbershop on campus provides a real
service.

EDITORIAL BOARD
Another Russian Crop disaster, the second
in three years, is threatening to unbalance the
Soviet power structure.
Now as in 1973, the year of the great grain
robbery, the Soviet government frantically is
looking for alternative suppliers. The l-'ord
Administration, like the Nixon Administration, is searching frantically for means to bail
the Soviet rulers out of their predicament.
Again, the official explanation is poor
weather. But clandestine reports from behind
the Iron Curtain suggest another reason lor
their recurring crop disasters. Those reports
reveal that the Soviet crop failures are manmade and the result of the combined efforts of
millions of "collective farm workers". . . the
wretched peons who want to get out from under the Soviet yoke.
They want to upend the Soviet hierarchy by
creating food riots among factory workers.
Their major concern is that the United States
and other Western allies will bail out the
Soviets again.
Before the Bolshevik takeover and the advent of the Soviet regime, Russia was a leading
exporter of foodstuffs, comparable with the
United Stales and well ahead of Canada,
Argentina and Australia. Bushels-per-acre
figures for Russian farms then were marginally below those for American farms. . . an
average of 15 bushels of wheat per ucrc compared with 15 to 20 bushels here.
Relatively fcwchcmicalfertilizers were used
at that time in Russia. Today chemical fertilizers are used extensively there as well as
here. Canada, and in oilier major wheatproducing countries. But while the yield-peracre has doubled in this country, it has remained nearly sialic in Russia. Production varies
between 1.1 to 21 bushels of wheal per acre,
compared with nunc than 32 bushels per acre
in Ihe U.S.
The fact is. bad weather has had little to do
with turning Russia from a major wheal exporter under the Czars into the biggest wheat
importer under the Soviets. Ciimate
variations have always existed in Russia, but a
poor crop in one location was always balanced
by good crops in other areas. . . until the
Soviet regime was established.
•
The Bolshevik Revolution proclaimed the
toilers alone had the right lo own land, and
split ihe great estates amongthe villagers. But
then Ihe hapless farmers, taken in by communist slogans, found out tolheir sorrow thai
while 1 hey "owned" the land, they did not own
Ihe crops.
Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin had forgotten to
motion that the farmers hud been turned into
indentured servants for the benefit of the communist elite.
Now the Russian farmer is using Ihe only
means at his disposal to rid himself of communist oppression. . . sabotaging the food
production on the Soviet plantation.

"He pushed me and I pushed
him," Landry said later. "It just
happened, that's all. No big deal."
The incident must have pumped
up Landry's adrenaline though,
because Dave scored 10 of his 16
points in the game's final 12 minutes,
including back to back jumpers
which gave State a 66-54 lead with
4:17 left.
Ross Unleashed
About the same point in time
Oneonta unleashed Dave Ross, who
was outstanding. Ross, who ended
the game with 33 points (14 for 20
shooting), was the only Oneonta
player who scored in the last five
minutes. He hit six consecutive
jumpers and added a free throw for
an incredible 13 straight points.
But Ross' effort fell short thanks
to a tenacious Albany defense which
forced many turnovers by Ross'
teammates. And Winston Royal was
usually the beneficiary of those
Oneonta mistakes. Royal's last
basket, a double-pump spectacular

the Pups their largest lead of the
night at the buzzer.
Albany shot 42% from the floor

hit 40%. making 28 of 69.
The Pups hit 17 of 25 from the free

as Blackmon foiled the Danes'"fourcorner" zone with a long jumper
from the corner to tie it at 53. Both
sides then missed scoring chances
before the end came suddenly with
one second left.
For Albany varsity coach Doctor
Richard Sauers, it was a sweet victory. Entering the game with a 6-6
overall record and seeing
Suprunowiez and Cavanaugh injured during the recent road trip,
Sauers explained it was "very discouraging to the players. We needed
a game like this to make them believe
in themselves."
As for the team's performance so
far, Sauers said, "We've been in
every game except the Union game
(72-49 loss)."
But the game was played with a
sub-par Barry Cavanaugh. The 6'7"

Pups Down Oneonta, 79-67,
Despite Two-Player Loss

Swimmers Spared In Van Mishap

Benny Seigel is a lifesaver.

Required Courses May Return
FSA President Stu Klein, whose position may be In jeopardy.
by Doug Horwltz
In a move that could be considered a return to the past, SUNYA
undergraduate students may once
again have to fulfill academic distribution requirements.
Last November, the University
Senate Program Evaluation Committee recommended, "the restructuring of program requirements for
the B.A. and B.S. degrees to
promote a more coherent liberal
learning process than now exists.
The curricular reforms adopted
should include distribution requirements of at least nine credit
hours in humanities and arts, nine
hours in science and mathematics,
nine hours in social and behavorinl
sciences, and six hours in analytic
and symbolic skill development."
Although the committee
recommendation is only the first of
many procedural steps, Philip
Tompkins, University Senate Chairman, said that the prospect of the requirements becoming SUNYA
policy, "Seems to be in the wind."
The PEC based its recommendation on the premise thai "There is insufficient institutionalized guidance
of SUNYA undergraduates toward
the goal of a liberal education at present." In their report, the EPC
referred to a study conducted by
Robert Morris, Dean of Academic
Affairs, which summarized that
"students in some majors could be
viewed as having taken a disproportionate amount of credit in the lowei

FSA Student Control Threatened
by Bob Wong
The SUNY Board of Trustees
recently approved a new set of FSA
guidelines which could effectively
bar a student
majority on the
Faculty-Student Association Board
of Directors.
These new guidelines, which
became effective December 17,1975,
may jeopardize the student control
of SUNYA'S FSA Board , and the
position of its newly-elected student
president, Stu Klein.
However, student control need
not end immediately because of the
guidelines.
"They will not affect us." says Stu
Klein, who last month became the
first student president in the corporation's history. "We're governed
by the Nol-For-Profit laws unless we
have a contract with the state."
SA Lawyer Paul Kietzman agrees,
saying that FSA is not a state agency
so the State Education Department
has no control. He does concede
howevei I hat the "state can choose to
do business elsewhere."
FSA General Manager E. Norbert
Zahm says that Klein is "partly
right" about being independent of
the guidelines, FSA is incorporated
as a Not-For-Profit organization,
says Zahm, but "in order to do
business FSA has to sign a contract."
The guidelines state that, "No
single constituency shall have more
than 50 percent of the hoard
membership nor shall the student
constituency have less than onethird the membership of the board."
Though they were originally on
the agenda for the Trustees' October
meeting, the guidelines were not
acted upon until many schools were
on recess. For this reason, many
FSA's did not begin action until
recently.
According to Klein the Trustees
arc allowing a "compliance period"
for FSA boards. Zahm, however,
wants compliance immediately.
David Coyne, Chairperson of
Central Council, says that FSA will
be given enough time to "seek
clarification" of the guidelines, adding thai it will probably lake a long
time.
Zahm believes that FSA will be
given enough time to "get our house
in shape based on the guidelines." He
adds thai it will take the membership
of FSA ,as well as the board to
"change the FSA by-laws to conform with the guidelines."
This procedure is expected totake
about two weeks because the by-laws
state that any changes must be
proceeded by a ten-day notice.
Stu Klein became FSA president
after students instituted FSA by-law
changes that enabled them to maintain a student member majority. It
was this majority that ousted John
Hartley, SUNYA Vice-President of
Management and Planning and
allowed Klein to be elected.
Klein is confident that the new
guidelines, if instituted into the bylaws, will not affect his position as
president. Says Klein, "I have a good
relationship with both students and
administration."

Members ol State Legislature's Committee on Higher Education,
which delayed membership changes on SUNY Board ol Trustees.
SUNY Board of Trustees Unchanged
As Higher Ed Committee Stalls Bill
by Ed Moser
The State Legislature's wCommittce on Higher Education stalled
suggested changes in faculty and student membership on the SUNY
Board of Trustees Tuesday by sending the Trustees' bill back to committee.
The proposed bill would add a
faculty member to the Board and
shift the selection of student
members from students themselves
to the Governor.
One assemblyman said he couldn't
see the reason for any faculty
representation on the Board. Hesaid
faculty have their own employee
organization to look after their interests. According to him, this dual
representation would be a violation
of the Taylor law.
SASU observers were surprised
und dismayed at the Trustees'
legislation. SASU Legislative Director Joel Packer said, "Student
membership was taken care of in the
last session of legislature when we
(SASU) placed student-picked
members on the Board. Said SASU
Legislature Director Joel Pucker,
"We're going to recommend that the
student section of the bill be
deleted."
At a meeting of the Commerce
Committee that same day, the age of
students allowed on FSA Boards
was lowered from 21 to 18 years.
Other Matters
In other matters, SASU backed a
proposal which would allow the use
by optometrists of drugs formerly
restricted to opthalmologjsts, SASU
support stems from the fact that
SUNY has a School of Optometry in
New York. A measure to ease the
observance of holy days of obligation by devout students was passed
unanimously by the Committee on
Higher Education.
In a discussion with committee
members, Chairman Irwin Landes
and a visiting SU N Y budget director
spoke on the tightness on funds facing the university system. Chariman
Landis asked members to think up
not only requests for fund restoration but also ideas for alternative
cutbacks.
