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."

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.

Faculty Frowns on Budget Cuts
U.S. WiUBe Firman Angola
WASHINGTON (AP) Secretary of
State Henry A. Kissinger Thursday
outlined an intensified hard line antiSoviet foreign policy, saying the United States must be prepared to react,
against any massive Russian adventure.
He told a Senate subcommittee'
studying Angola that "I am not saying we will police every area in the
world . . . but wherever the Soviet
Union moves hostildy, we must
commit ourselves."
"I believe we must discourage the,
view that the Soviet Union can move
anywhere it wants without serious
risk," Kissinger said.
Kissinger also said, "The administration is now seriously considering overt financial aid for
Angola and we will soon be consulting with the Congress on this
possibility." He gave no details.
Meanwhile, in Moscow, the official Soviet newspaper Izvestia said
the Russian government wants an
Angola settlement based on a coalition government "of all the patriotic
forces" in the country. Itdid not say
which groups it considered patriotic.
The article was seen in Moscow as
more conciliatory than previous
declarations on Angola.
In Washington, the State Department refused comment on the
report. One official noted that the
same dispatch accused the two antiSoviet groups in Angola of "national
treachery."
In Lusaka, Zambia, officials of a
West-leaning faction, the National
Union for the Total Independence of
Angola UN1TA, reported there was
no significant fighting on the front
with Soviet-backed forces in the
Angolan civil war for the fourth
straight day.
Kissinger appeared before a
Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee considering U.S. policy in
Angola.
In his statement, "he "repeated
criticism of Congress for cutting off
all aid to anti-Soviet groups in the
southwestern section of Africa.
Kissinger's call for a freer hand in
the conduct of foreign policy met Objections, particularly from subcommittee chairman Dick Clark, DIowa, and Sens. George McGovern,
D-S.D.; Joseph Biden, D-Del., and
Clifford Case, R-N.J. .
They all said congressional opposition to giving the administration
more flexibility in the conduct of
foreign policy was rooted in such
past excesses as Vietnam.
Kissinger said the question of an
Angolan government and the issue
of a Soviet presence there is now
secondary to the over-all issue of
world stability.
"What the United States does
when confronted with a challenge
like Angola can be of great
significance in shaping our future
relationship with the Soviet Union,"
Kissinger said.
"A demonstration of a lack of
resolve could lead the Soviets to a
great miscalculation, thereby plunging us into a major confrontation
which neither of us wants."
Spain Shifts Public Image of Franco
MADRID, Spain (AP) Gen. Francisco Franco's public image, which
dominated Spain for 40 years, is fadingrapidly two months after his death. In
hundreds of government offices photographs of Franco, once the security
blanket of the bureaucrat, have been removed. Some were dusty with age,
dating to the Spanish civil war, picturing the general with crop and riding
boots. In some cases, photographs of King Juan Carlos have simply been
thumbtacked over the Franco pictures. The image will recede further into
history Saturday when the government issues a new one-peseta coi n, Spain's
penny, with the image of Juan Carlos.
Morocco Overpowers Algeria In Sahara
RABAT, Morocco (AP) Morocco claimed Thursday to have captured the
Spanish Sahara desert area where it battled with Algeria for three days,
taking 101 Algerian prisoners in all. Algeria announced its forces "have
withdrawn in good order." There was no independent verification of the
claims. An official statement in Rabat said the region of Amghala. 175 miles
southwest of the Algerian border, had been "cleansed of all rebel elements," a
reference to guerrillas of the Algerian-backed Polisario Front which favors
independence for the Spanish Sahara.

WASHINGTON (AP) Signaling a tough stand on future Mideast
negotiations, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin declared today thai "we
are going to stand firm against illusions of so-called peace." In a speech
before the National Press Club, Rabin said the fate of Lebanon's Christian
minority serves as a reminder to Israel "not to be under any false illusions
about the future." Rabin's speech followed a White House meeting with
President Ford, the third such session during Rabin's U.S. visit. Describing
the meeting, a White House spokesman said the administration was
continuing efforts to promote a Middle East peace.
US-USSR Trade Acts Not Profitable
WASHINGTON (AP) Treasury Secretary William E. Simon said Thursday
the United States probably is losing more than $1 billion in business withthe
Soviet Union because of trade restrictions imposed by Congress. He
specifically mentioned the 1974 Trade Act making trade concessions with
Russia dependent on increased Jewish emigration from the Soviet Union.
"My contacts with Soviet leaders and with American businessmen during the
past year have firmly convinced me that it is in our interest to find a way to
unblock these impediments to increased trade," Simon told the Senate
Finance Committee.
Anti-War Movement Triumphs
WASHINGTON (AP) The last
U.S. ambassador to South Vietnam
says he doesn't blame Congress for
the Saigon government's] collapse
because the law makers' vote to bar
further American military aid was
prompted by organized campaigns
of distortion in the United States.
Graham A. Martin told skeptical
lawmakers Tuesday that the aid
decision was inevitable in view of the
impact of the American antiwar
movement, which he called one of
the best propaganda and pressure
organizations the world has ever
seen.
He n a m e d o n e
group
specifically—the Washington-based
Indochina Resource Center.
A center spokesman later said
Martin's assertion that the center
had engineered the congressional
vote was ridiculous and added, obviously there was a lot of antiwar
pressure, but it didn't come from any
one small group, it came from the
majority of the American people.
First Statement
Appearing before a House international relations subcommittee,
Martin offered his first detailed
public statement on the American
evacuation from Vietnam last April.
Since last June, Martin has put off
his appearance before the House
panel and has been in seclusion,
often out of the country.
During his testimony, Martin
strongly defended his handling of the
Saigon crisis and contended that ul-
timately the evacuation will be judged as "a hell of a good job."
Martin had drawn criticism from
other Embassy officials, who shortly
after the evacuation were quoted as
saying he had aggravated the situation by not ordering all Americans
out of Saigon sooner.
But the silver-haired veteran
diplomat, now a special assistant to
Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger, insisted his actions were
dictated by the need to avoid panic
and possible South Vietnamese
retaliation against departing
Americans.
Subcommittee Chairman Lee
Hamilton, D-Ind., told Martin he
had doubts that a small group of antiwar activists could sway popular
opinion away from the combined
arguments of the president, the Pentagon and the State Department.
Martin told Hamilton that
government persuasion was not used
effectively. Martin said some
members of a congressional group
that visited South Vietnam in the
early winter of 1975 were shaken by
the vast difference between the reality they saw and the distorted image
they had received from the antiSaigon lobby in Washington.
He said that after an antiwar
propaganda extravaganza on the second anniversary of the Paris accords last January,"| personally concluded that the game was up and my
thoughts Were more directed toward
holding actions while we waited for
the end in Saigon."
He testified that even though
President Ford and Kissinger were
calling it absolutely right on the
South Vietnamese need for aid, in
the temper of the times this just
could not be enough to outweigh
political pressures on Congress.
Tropical Cost Cutting
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) The
government says it's actually cutting
costs by office-landscaping a federal
office with 110,000 worth of tropical
plants and a $10,000 canned music
system that features the sound of
whispering surf.
But one employe in the labor
department office says, "If they'd
turn the fans on for a tropical breeze
and haul in a couple of torn of white
sand we could be Fiji,"
Eighty-seven large p l a n t s including eight potted palms—were
installed last week in the sprawling
offices of the Manpower building
here, Phillip Lawlor, Manpower's
deputy regional administrator, confirmed Wednesday.
Lawlor said a sound system soon
to be installed throughout the floor
will alternate IS minutes of
background music with IS minutes
of a whirring, soft air-like roar,
similar to the sound of surf.
The embellishments are part of a
$90,000 office-landscaping project
recommended by the General Services Administration to save money
by substituting foliage and low room
dividers for costly interior walls,
Lawlor said.
Portable Dividers
The GSA says it developed the
concept for offices of federal agencies so they can be expanded or made
smaller simply by moving around
the portable room dividers and
plants.
We're using this new concept

and it's unquestionable saving us

House Battles Ford on Spending Bills

Congress overrode his earlier veto of a $45 billion labor, health, educationand-welfare appropriation. The vote on the public works bill was tar more

State Accused of Regressive Bargaining
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) The Civil Service Employes Association, responding
to a charge that it has shown "remarkable inflexibility" in its negotiations
with the state, accused the state Thursday of adopting a "regressive"
bargaining posture. The union, which represents 147,000 state employe
leveled its charge a day after the state's top negotiator said the CSEA's
bargaining demands reflected "unrealistic attitudes and an unwillingness or
an inability to adjust to'the present environment."

SUNYA faculty has adopted an
attitude of watchful waiting as President Fields' Task Force on Priorities
and Resources conducts its investigations. By March 1,
recommendations will have been
made, and Governor Carey's
proposed budget cuts will be
effected.
Twenty-seven faculty positions
and 28 support positions are to be
terminated, effective September 1,
1976. Forty additional faculty lines
have been cut, effective nolaterthan
February 29, 1976.
Faculty speculation about the outcome ranges, though mostly in terms
of pessimism. One major concern of
the SUNYA faculty was paraphrased by Bruce Marsh, head of the United University Professors. He said,
"Naturally we feel that the cuts
should be made somewhere else."
Said Marsh, "The importance is not
to cripple the most important aspect
of the university—the teaching
aspect."
At Monday's University Senate
meeting (ASP January 27), a
professor asked Fields about administrative cuts, of which there are
none. The answer purported this to
be due to the fact that the numbers
are mandated from the Division of
Budgets, leaving no room for choice.
Regardless, many faculty
members remain quite incensed. One
professor vehemently articulated a
dominant trend of thought in saying.
"It seems sort of ridiculous that there
are no administrative cuts. It is very
demoralizing to much of the faculty
that so much of the crap administration is left behind. It is responsible
for much of the mediocrity."
Another professor, wishing to remain anonymous, voiced an opinion
that certain incompetant deans who
have tenure, should be asked to
resign. If there were replacements for
them, no additional money would
have to be spent.
Marsh presented another problem
with the investigations. Due to the
lack of time, the Task Force is relying heavily on administrative information. There is concern thatthere is
not the same type of evaluation of
the administration as there is for the
faculty.
One University Senate member
revealed procedures the Task Force
is taking to promote objectivity. According to this member, each time a
program is discussed, if a committee
member is involved with the
program, he will withdraw from the

Gay Professor Fired Inefficient Exit Control Causes Library
by Allan Rabinowitz (CPS)
Richard Aumillcr, until recently a
faculty member at the University of
Delaware, was gay. Everybody
knew it, no one made a big deal
about it. But when Aumiller, director of the university theatre, went
one step further and dared to speak
out publicly on the issue of
homosexuality, urging other gays to
"come out," the university administration had had enough.
Aumiller's contract was not renewed. Or in non-bureaucratictcrms, he
was fired. The university made no
bones about its reasoning. Aumiller
was fired for expressing his opinion.
"The university is not challenging
the right of Mr. Aumiller to be a
homosexual," said University President E.A. Trabant, "but his advocacy of homosexuality is inappropriate for the university undergraduate campus. I resent having
to read about the bedroom activities
of an individual on the faculty."
"Freedom" Not Involved
Trabant sees no question of
academic freedom involved. "One
can lecture on homosexuality -it
can be debuted, but as president of
the University, I cannot permit activities which indicate the university
is advocating and advising undergraduate students participate in it
and adopt the lifestyle."

The system cost about $15,000 to

materials. It was installed in
September 1974 withthe completion
of the new library.

library has been substantially reduced. In a recent study comparing two

Doors Not Secure
When asked why SUNYA has not
implemented a system similar to
Cortland's, William Snyder, Head of
Administrative Services, explained:
"Before any book detection system
can be installed, all of the outer
doors must be secured." He said the
campus maintenance staff is currently in the process of designing and
building u system to secure all of the
library's outer doors.
The system is similar to the one
used by Ihc University of Guelph in
Ontario, Canada. All of the exits will
belied into thefirealarm system. If
any of the doors are opened, a glass
rod will be broken. This will activate
the fire alarm. The entire building
will have to be evacuated as, according to Snyder, "We will have no
way of knowing what triggered the
alarm. We'll havetoassumethcre'sa
fire in the building."
Signs will be placed near the doors
indicating thai the exits are for
emergency use only. According to
the information received from the
University of Guelph, this system
should be most effective.
Tying the exits into the fire alarm
system is Phase I of a two pan plan.
The second step will be to install the
3M book detection system.
Although the recommendation has
received campus approval, the final
outcome depends on the SUNY
budget.
Snyder hopes to have the outer
doors secured some time this
semester. Asked when the book
detection system will be installed,
Snyder said, "I can't speculate as the

Legal Aid Lobbyist Asks
Help from Students Here
by Lorraine Chun
"It's not a shameful thing to be a
lobbyist," says Lenore Gittis, a
lawyer from the Legal Aid Society.
Contrary to popular belief, a lobbyist is not an evil person who
harnesses a legislator. But, someone
might ask, what is a lobbyist?
Gittis' definition is: a person that
tries to affect the legislation that
affects his constituency.
A lobbyist can be a source of information for the legislator, says
Gittis. Too often, a legislator is so
busy that he cannot be up-to-date on
every bill that is introduced. As a
result he sometimes votes without
the knowledge of the pro and con
issues of a bill.
This is where the lobbyist steps in.
Whether it be in the lobby of the
legislature building —hence the
word "lobbyist"— or in a
legislator's office, the lobbyist can
present his clients' reasons for why
or why not a bill is needed.
Lobbyists can represent anything
from banks, corporations, or labor
unions to professional groups or

strength of the faculty. It is feared
that this may have a derogatory
effect on translating Field's
guidelines.
One professor who does not agree
with this is Phil Tompkins of the
Department of Rhetoric and Communication. He said, "I have considerable confidence in the Presidential Task Force. They have a terrible
job, but it is a well-balanced Task
Force representing the coucils and
committees of the senate. Some of
the committee members have been
on committees that have been working all year."
In regard to the total situation,
Tomkins remarked, "It is grim,
depressing, and discouraging, but I
don't see much we can do about it except take the cuts in as intelligent a
manner as possible."
So, with mixed thoughts, all unpleasant, the SUNY faculty awaits
the decisions of the Presidential
Task Force. Fields announced if
time permits reports of the Force's
activities will be circulated.

This year, Gittis is the director for

interested in the legislative process.
A lobbyist's job can be hectic. Gittis' was of lobbying is to go to a
legislator's office and talk. If she
can't do that, she tries to get them

They must attend public hearings

Since Gittis is the only lobbyist in

The school was suing New York
City for not giving them sufficient
funds. Gittis won the case, and she
says it was her introduction to lobbying because she got involved in

She was so attracted to the art of
lobbying that she lobbied for Legal

The Legal Aid Society is one
group that makes use of lobbyists in
Albany. In general, the Legal Aid
Society is a program that offers
representation to poor people who
can't afford to pay for legal
assistance.
Legal Aid was originally concerned solely with welfare recipients.
They have extended their services to
others. Their" objectives have expanded to seeking legislation
favorable to the poor. The role of the
lobbyist who represents Legal Aid
would be concerned with laws affecting, for example, the landlordtenant situation, graduated income

Fields doesn't advocate the use of

Fields believes that a liberal learning originates by, "discovering

The technique involved is known

He went on to say, "I favor
something like the distribution requirements, but my advocacy is
limited by a realization that we're
talking about a device. My real belief
is that the problem is so big that
about the only thing that I can really
advocate is that the faculty and student body keep alive the question,
what is aliberallyeducated person?"
According to Fields, "The idea of
distribution can be met in a great
variety of ways. The bigissueis, how
do <you get people to seek breadth
and achieve some of it in a way that
reconciles comfortably with the idea
of free choice— and there's going
to be some tension there."
Recently, SA President Andy
Bauman expressed some of that tension when he addressed Fields about
the distribution requirements.
Bauman told Fields that he belie .•<!
the majority of the student body is
satisfied with the present system and
they would become upset at the
thought of giving it up.
Fields said he could understand
the students' position but, "at the
same time it makes me a little uneasy. Are students themselves getting conservative so that they don't
want to look at anything new?" Asked Fields, "Rampant free choice
does raise the clear possibility that
students will be sharply pointed and
not well rounded." When asked if he
thinks that is true at SUNYA, Fields
replied, "I think maybe it is."
Six years ago the University
Senate thought otherwise. The 1970
proposal that was responsible for
eliminating SUNYA's distribution
requirements was passed with the
idea t hat it would "hearald the begilining of new educational patterns in
this university."
An April 24, 1970 ASP article
read, "[The] Senate's feeling was that
it is both morally wrong and
wasteful to require students to take
courses that they have no interest
in . . . despite efforts by professors
to whip students with the grade . .
The concept of the 'well-rounded
man' was rejected as well."
Present Senate Chairman
Tompkins feels that distribution requirements may in fact improve the
quality of education at SUNYA, but
he has a broader theory of why the
requirements are being considered.
"I think it's part of the times,"
remarked Tompkins, "a backlash
from the student power of the 60"s
and 7tfs . . . a reassertion of faculty'
power."

the first time ever that a massproduced doll has come fully

Isaacson predicts that if "Joey"
catches on, dolls which are fully endowed with sex parts may become a

SUNDOWN
Three Rice University scientists
are out with the bizarre theory that a
small "black hole" may be embedded
in the center of the Sun,
A black hole is an incredibly dense
body of matter whose particles have
undergone molecular collapse. A
black hole is so dense that one the
size of a grain of sand would weigh
millions of tons.
Three astrophysicists — Donald
Clayton, Michael Newman and Raymond Talbot — say that recent experiments have discovered that the
Sun is not giving off as many
neutrinos as would be expected in a
normal solar reaction. The reason
for this lack of neutrinos has not
been explained by conventional
science.
The three scientists, however, say
that a black hole located at the very

The scientists suggest that the

Presumably, one day the black

Earth.

Jones's, however, gave no details

SEX-ED ABORTED
A high school sex education
program in Felton, California, has
been suspended after parents complained that one of the teachers had
boasted to students about
decorating his Christmas tree with
male contraceptives.
Other critics charged that the
same teacher allegedly inflated a
rubber condom like a balloon and
then let it fly about the classroom.

~"'c*
by Ellen M. While '•'<
"How do you expect me to write
when I have to feed the damn card
reader?" she snapped. "Don't you
want me to write? Didn't wc come
here so 1 could write? And what do
you have me do — feed your reader,
a loasy operator's job. Well 1 work a
lousy job all day long and I don't
want to do one now."
Bent over the keyboard of his
CRT, Jim hid his smile and did not
answer. He had heard this speech
before. From their past fights he
knew that her voice was loud and
harsh; but here, supressed by the
overwhelming noise, Sarah, his
wife sounded almost pleasant.
The room was unusually noisy.
Narrow and low ceilinged, it was lined with machines. Whirring tapes,
keypunches, a roaring disk, clattering rattling printers and readers
packed the room with an insistent
rage. A large air conditioner, which
was necessary to keep the machines
from overheating, rushed the air,
fluttering the calendars, stray output
and other papers as if some violent
storm was contained within the
walls.
Sarah, who had been here time
after time, was still astonished by it
all. Everything happened at a
superhuman rate - information
leaped from the printer three hundred lines a minute; the reader sucked in, stored, and expelled nine, ten,
maybe more cards per'second. Except for the reader, Sarah understood nothing of this room. As
far as she was concerned, it was all
beyond her hand and mind. Usually
the atmosphere caused her to
become almost defensive, to pull all
of her facilities into one focus. Here,
she found she could concentrate best
when she made up her mind to it. But
today, instead of threatening her
into
production, Computer
Applications had overwhelmed her.
She stood before the reader
feeding stack after stack of cards.
Drugged by the regular rattle of
transmission, she felt too dull to even
remember the poemthat had beenso
lull within her when she had entered
the room. The sounds, the rushing
air was like a stormy sea, and she, a
luckless crab, was caught in the undertow. Wave after smashing wave
drove her down, stripped her,
crushing to salty sand her fragile
shell of words and images.
Jim also found the room hypnotic.
The noise of his projects in progress
spurred him to produce more. This
room was his domain, he loved to
come here late at night when no one
was here but himself and his wife.
Usually she offered to dosmall tasks;
and he was glad that she could take
some part in his working life, the
most important part of his life. After
several years in the Held, computers
still fascinated him. Coming in late
at night, he could take care of the uninteresting phases of his work, which
allowed him to spend more time with
the programming problems, his real
love. The range of this work was to
take two unreal worlds, the worlds of
problem and potentiality, and to
make out of them an actuality, a
practical result. He loved to pit the
limitations of his mind against the
limitations of the machine, to fit the
puzzle of language to that of circuitry. To him, his work was a constant awakening, growth, and refinement.
"You know I haven't written
anything since we've been married,"
Sarah burst in again, "It's been a
year — one year and not one decent
poem, not one paragraph. You know
that I can write," she pleaded. "You
know why I'm not writing. You
know, Jim."
He supposed that he did. But what
could he say to her? He remembered
when he first knew her, she papered
her bedroom door with the poems
she had published.Now, she pasted
up rejection slips. He didn't understand why she bothered to send out
the old poems. Even she had said
that they were no good. They hadn't
been published in the past, why
would anybody want them now?"To
teach me humility," was her response
lo his questions. He wondered how
close to martyrdom such humility
would lead her.
But her poetry was good; at least,
he, who did not have a taste for such
found her poems beautiful, joyous,
but most important, puzzles in their
own right. Even Sarah, usually so
down on herself said that they were
promising. But it was all quite true,
she hadn't finished anything in a
long time.
"And how do you expect me to
write?" Her voice rose over the
machines once more, "I work all day,
work I hate. 1 come home and I'm
free. Free, Free — and what do I do,
cook, clean, wash the dishes, do the
laundry. It's always too late. Or we
skip everything to come here. Then
you make me work. I hardly have
time to read the paper much less
write a line."
She paused a minute. Jim did not
answer so she began again: "And not
only don't 1 have the time, but what
if I did? What do I have to write
about? The dishes, your dirty underwear, riding the bus in the morning?"
He reflected that she had once
written an excellent poem about an
early morning bus ride. Perhaps she
remembered it too, as suddenly she
burst into tears. She was getting
close, he thought, maybe this time
she'd get it.
Sobbing, shecontinuedtofeedthc
reader.
"Jim, I can't go on like this. I have
to have my own life. You have yours,
even if it's only as narrow as this
room. I have nothing, 1 am nothing."
She fed in the last stack of cards. It
was the second time this week that he
had heard the speech. On the table
behind her he could see her
notebook, opened to a page covered
with circles as if she were doing a
handwriting exercise.
Though the reader was finally
empty, she continued to stand before
it dumbly. The air, the noise of the
other machines pressed around her,
still overpowering her.
She picked up the notebook and
ran into the other room, shutting the
doorfiercely.Takinga pen, she firmly blacked over the row of zeros and
underneath, began to write: oh my
sucking, spitting child,/ full and
moving, always/always, I am void...
Jim entered. "Sarah, are you
OK?' She nodded and continued to
write: the rattle is your comfort and
my dirge . . .
"Sarah, look, their system went
down in the middle of the reading.
Your job bounced. Would you mind
doing it again?"
She looked up finally. "Yes, I'm
busy." He smiled and left the room.

effect. A minute long commercial, well d o n e with the
usual fast paced editing t o enhance excitement, c a m e
on. I never moved from my scat. A n hour later, I was
hooked by a 15 second, " S t a y tuned for . . . ".
The opening shot was one of Winters with the G r a n d

The first skit was of George Washington. Notfunny. I
thought something was wrong with me. But then came
Ben Franklin, Paul Revere, etc. All not funny.. What
happened? My favorite humorist was not making m e
laugh. W h e n he improvised, t h e J o n a t h a n Winters I
love was funny. But t h a t happened once every 15 m i n u t e
segment.
The most astonishing p h e n o m e n a was that the Hefty

visually superior and overall produced with m o r e
concern t h a n the actual program. At least this served t o
redeem him in my eyes.
O n t h e Tonight Show, Winters h a d m e gagging for

Feeding your expectations is what network TV docs
best. They usually have the best advertising. It's their
medium, a n d when it comes t o commercials—they
know how t o d o it with more impact t h a n anyone else.
But this talent usually tends t o inspire me with so m u c h
anticipation that 1 a m crushed when t h e p r o g r a m
advertised finally comes on t h e air. A n d s o it was with
"200 Years of American H u m o r " starring J o n a t h a n
Winters.
Since t h e Fall Preview T V Guide I have been looking

space than most professors. Few people ever see these offices, and so the AS P has brought a few of
them onto these pages for your viewing.
Note that the photos are taken with a twenty millimeter super wide-angle lens. This makes them
appear somewhat larger than they really are, though objects in the offices will clue you In to the
correct size. The lens was necessary in order to include as much of the office in the shot as possible.
Until 1970
SUNY Central had a set formula on the amount of square feet that could be
allloted to a specific member of the university. Faculty could have up to 120 square feet,
department chairmen ISO, deans 180-240, vice presidents 240-300, and 480 sqaure feet for the
school president.
Now. the only guideline is a rule that determines allotted space by multiplying the number of full
lime professors in a department by 160. The result is the total squarefootage to be occupied by that
department.
Phillip Slrolkln, Vice President lor Academic
Affairs, isthe only one of those shown with his desk
In a powerful position In the room. Though he
often meets with people in the lounge area In the
foreground, if he chooses to remain in his seal
visitors are forced to talk over his desk. This
control of the room is increased by the angle at
which Sirotkln's desk sits, making the room appear
to be diamond-shaped rather than square.
His office is at the outside corner of the I
Administration building near Fine Arts, twenty feet
away from President Fields' office. The plant at left
was originally only inches tall, a golng-away
present from his old school received live years ago.
An example of Sirotkln's interest in antiques is
the clock at right. Outside his office is a beautiful
old grandfather's clock keeping perfect time,
rescued from the basement of Brubacher Hall.
Division Dean Richard Kendall (left) of Social and Behavioral Science and Ruth
Schmidt of the Humanities hold similar positions, though Schmidt has more professors
in her division. The square!ootages are close, but Kendall's Is of a more practical shape.
Schmidt meets visitors in the foreground of the photo, usually sitting in a chair
opposite the couch. The art and decor of her office Is a bit more refined (notice the
artwork)than the others here, possibly a result of the kinds ot departments reporting to
her. Similarly, Kendall hasa picture of John Kennedy(seen) end Martin Luther King, Jr.
(not seen), reflecting the klnde of departments thst report to him,
While Schmidt's office appears neat and well-organized, Kendall's is a bit homier,
with his jacket over a chair and with magazines and boxes scattered about.
Students don't generally have offices, but both Student Association President Andy
Bauman (left) and Albany Student Press Editor Daniel Gaines have offices In the
Campus Center.
Bauman's Is In a suite that includes rooms for other SA officials, and is located In the
middle of the third floor. Gaines is at the corner near Education. Unlike the others
shown here, neither have carpeting, and their desks are simple office furniture, rather
than high quality wood.
In the loreground of the Bauman photo Is a piece of a lounge chair. Two of these are
in the photographer's corner, and are the most popular seats for visitors.
Gaines has the smallest-and coldest-office of those shown, although a panoramic
view of the fountain helps compensate for this. Bauman, due to his location in the
center of the CC, hes no windows. AphotoofSUNYAfloatlnginspaceadornsthe ASP

Student Affairs Dean Neil Brown reports to the Vice President for University Affairs. He has
more responsibility than anyone except the Vice Presidents and Fields. He is in charge of housing,
financial aid, the campus center, health service, etc.
Andy Bauman Is President of Student Association, which derives its power indirectly through
Brown but also from the Board of Trustees of SUN Y. Student Association does not "report" to

It must be interesting in a way to

Those who were fortunate enough
to finally get in and reach the Grand

the best shows ever seen in a Star
Trek Convention. Up on stage was
a full size mockup of the Enterprise

Chair. The Navigators console
would not fit on the stage.
It was from here that the stars put
on a 2 hour program of speeches,

(Sulu), DeForest Kelley (McCoy),
James Doohan (Scotty), Nichelle
Nichols (Uhura), Leonard Nimoy
(Mr. Spock) and William Shatner
(James Tiberius Kirk).
The past years of New York Conventions would be hard put to match
this record of so many stars at one
place at one time! And, there were
two shows each day and an additional one added Saturday evening
to accomodate the crowds, which

throwing the book
at follett
To ik* Editor:
Obtaining books as each semester commences is an expensive proposition. To
successfully complete this task, one must have
a bountiful checking account, and a large
supply of patience. While waiting on line in the
bookstore last week (I had plenty of time
before my turn came upl), I wondered why a
University of this size has only one bookstore?
The monopoly which the Follett bookstore
now enjoys is very unfair. It is possible to acquire many used books, but when a newly
published book is required, or one that was
not used the previous semester, there are no
alternatives to purchasing itinthe bookstore.
I fully realize that books are costly to
publish these days, but by establishing a competing bookstore, perhaps the expense would
be more reasonable. At the present time,
however, we students have no recourse but to
buy our books at the exorbitant prices of the
Follett Bookstore.
Laura E. Challman
To ttwUMort
As a member of a mens' intramural basketball team I am disturbed by the minimal
amount of coverage given to the AMIA
basketball. While there is a plethoraof articles
concerning womens' intramural basketball,
the pages, of this newspaper are obviously
lacking in such features as AMI A scores, standings and highlights of outstanding games and
individual performances.
I believe that intramural sports is an integral
part of university life and no phase of it should
be ignored bythe media. Better coverage of intramural sports, both men's and women's, will
induce more participation from the student
body. This is true not only of basketball but of
other sports as well.

2. Can the Administration's Attempt to Revive the English PhD Work?
We think not. The demographic data, predicting slumping college enrollments through the
I980's, suggest the very opposite of a need for an increase in PhD's, The National Board on
Graduate Education foresees "as few ai one in ten new doctorates may secure faculty
employment in the next decade." There seems little hope that the Commissioner's Office will
perceive a need for yet another PhD program here for the next decade. Moreover, the plan to

3. What is the Price of Such an Effort lo Re-Register the English PhD Program?
The economic price may approach $200,000 a year. Such a sum almost certainly cannot be
raised in a lime when the SUNY budget has suffered a staggering $51 million cutback for nexl
year. This is in addition to the hiring freeze and the Governor's efforts to impose a salary freeze.
Much of the money to lure these renowned scholars, then, will have to come from budget lines of
junior faculty whose contracts will be terminated at term renewal or tenure decision time. There
arc now twelve junior members on the English faculty; two already have been terminated and a
third has been denied tenure. The remainder come up for conlracl renewal within this year or
next. If their average salary is calculated at $15,000 and if all twelve were terminated, then the
administration would have $180,000 to pay these new scholars.
But here the deeper price of such a scheme becomes clear- a price that cannot be calculated in
dollars a'nd cents. For there is another kind of sense that is being violated. Without effectively
saving any money, the English department will be reduced by all or most of its non-tenured
faculty. Suppose eight people are eliminated. Each junior faculty member teaches six courses
per year, compared with the four courses senior graduate faculty members generallyleach. This
could mean a drop from 48 course offerings to 16, an absolute decrease of 32 English courses.
Translate these statistics into human terms and they mean: larger classes, fewer course offerings,
and teachers who will be pressured into conventional research and thus less available for
teaching. And it may mean the demoralization of a number of continuing tenured members who
are dedicated lo good undergraduate teaching. They would also resent the diminishing of
democracy in the department if the consultants' suggestion were adopted that only tenured
faculty should participate in tenure decisions, thus denying sludcnts and younger faculty a role
in this process.
The folly of such a scheme in the face of economic and educational realities is clear. For our
part, if human beings and educational excellence are to be sacrificed in a quesl for national
prestige, we cannot in conscience remain silent.

recruit a new English Department chairman and four or five renowned scholars seems not only
fiscally irresponsible but plainly impossible: irresponsible when one considers that these scholars
must be paid up to $40,000 a year to attract them; and impossible if one wonders what renowned
scholar would come to a department deprived of its PhD program, sorely tested in its morale,
and severely limited in its university's library facilities and its Statcs's austerity budget.
editorial/comment
It is possible to prepare a very convincing argument that the massive cuts made in
higher education by Governor Hugh L. Carey's Executive Budget would not be
necessary if state administrative costs were reduced and no-show and no-work jobs
eliminated. I ndeed, few remain who will defend government waste in any way, and any
politician worth his or her salt has been telling everyone of some instancein which they
instigated the removal of administrative waste.
The problem still exists. Money has been wasted on, for exempli, the former state
lottery commissioner, who received $40,000 each year to come up to Albany once a
month and eat dinner on the state. Everyone knows someone in state government
earning money for doing little, and everyone is against it.
Long range progress in cutting government waste is possible, and in time such
savings could be put t o use for real services for the state's citizens—such as the S U N Y
system. But for the time being this campus is resigned to cutting no less than eightyeight positions by next fall.
The task force presently preparing recommendations o n those cuts for S U N Y A
President Emmett B. Fields, however, can apply the loose anti-waste oratory in a
practical way to cut waste quickly on this campus. They can suggest that the heaviest
burden in these hard economic times be carried by administrative staff.
Many of this campus argue that there is significant amounts of waste in the
administration — indeed, some don't think the administration is needed at all. T h e
phrases " n o useful function," "nobody would miss them," and "most of their time is
spent planning for things that never happen" are heard often. Administrators
sometimes weary of discussing their jobs and its value. There is value to administrative
positions. They are, however, of generallylcssvaluetothe university than professors.
Of course not all administrative functions would go unmissed, and the faculty
should not absorb too many administrative responsibilities. And though students
don't like long lines, professors don't like inefficient handling of their requests, vistors
don't like dirty walls, and so on, it is surely better to have some inconvenience of this
kind than to lose the opportunity to have learned from a professor. Few people come
here to eat, play or look at the buildings. They come for a n education.
When the priority decisions come, administrators should take the back seat.

A Farewell to the English Department?
I. Why Attempt to Revive a Traditional English PhD Program Here?
In a time of economic recession, when the job market for university teachers is severely
dwindling, are there not already loo many unemployed PhD's unsuccessfully seeking
employment to justify still another traditional graduate program? The new National Board on
Graduate Education answers yes. It was this stark reality which served as a principal motive
behind the Commissioner's decision to evaluate all the PhD programs throughout the state.
Despite this, the administration apparently leans towards the advice of three outside
"developmental consultants" to rebuild the PhD program here. And rather than attempting to
create an innovative program, these developmental consultants recommended a program
designed along more traditional lines in which "candidates who are the products of the most
selective and prestigious graduate schools" would be hired in the future as new faculty members.
We believe that instead of turning out more PhD's into a virtually jobless market, the English
department and the administration should work together to create an innovative graduate
degree program that would both maintain SUNYA's university status and also serve better the
needs of contemporary education. A Doctor of Arts program already exists here which has the
potential of giving strengt h and direction to English graduate studies. Instead of gambling on the
fragile chance of re-registering another traditional PhD program whose students would add to
an already glutted market, we should build upon our present Doctor of Arts program, which
seems to promise a brighter economic future in the coming decades, and explore the possibility
of a more flexible PhD program. Again the National Board on Graduate Education urges just
such a course in continuing education for older men and women who already have jobs, instead
of a "monolithic system modeled on a Harvard-Berkeley pattern,"

One group is fighting back.
The Student Corps for Rehibition will hold
its Fourth Annual Ground Hog's Eve Banquet
on Sunday, at four o'clock p.m. in the Alden
Dining Hall. Rehibitionists of past, present
and future are urged to attend this event and
help raise a cry in support of our threatened
holidays. Admission to the banquet is free
with a meal card.($2.68 without) and is open
to both rehibitionists and the general public. It
is expected that participants will dress in accordance with the occasion. For more information on this vital issue, call toll-free 4574983 or 472-5092.
Melvin Luther Cox
for whom the bell tolls:
The English PhD program at Albany is dead. In December State Education Commissioner
Ewald Nyquist announced his decision to impose a moratorium on admissions, thus effectively
de-registering the PhD program. The loss of the PhD program in English will hurt not only the
students and faculty engaged in graduate studies here, as well as the strength of the Division of
Humanities, but also Albany's status as a graduate center. Nevertheless, the way in which the
SUNYA administration has thus far addressed the problem threatens the English department
and the Humanities Division even more grievously, and what is more, threatens the quality of
undergraduate education at this university.
The desperate plan now being considered by the SUNYA administration is to bring in an
"interim" chairman who in turn will recruit four or five nationally renowned scholars to revive
the PhD program on the hope that sometime in the future it will be rc-registercd. The trouble
with this kind of thinking is that it fails to consider SUNY's financial plight and the projected
future of higher education in the United States. Furthermore, to pursue such a scheme may
sacrifice the genuine strength of fine undergraduate teaching in a gamble for national
preeminence. This short-sightedness may be placed in the proper perspective if we ask three
crucial questions about the administration's plan to revive an English PhD program at SUNYA:

Clipping the Concorde's Wings
:
Within the next few weeks. Secretary of
Transportation William Coleman will have to
make a decision of international importance:
whether or not to allow the British-French
supersonic transport to land in the United
States. Permission to land the 'Concorde' in
the U.S. is seen as a necessity of the Concorde
is to survive financially.
The dispute in the hearing in Washington
lines environmentalists up against Concorde
representatives. Some scientists have
speculated that the Concorde's high altitude
emissions of nitrogen oxides could contribute
significantly to the destruction of ihe ozone
layer that screens the earth from an overdose
of the sun's ultraviolet rays. The Federal Aviation Administration exti males six flights a day
could lead to 200 additional cases of skin
cancer a year in the U.S.
At the same time, however, the U.S. has
honored bilateral agreements to accept airworthiness certificates awarded to foreign aircraft by their governments—as long as the
planes meet standards established by the International Convention on Civil Aviation. In
recent years, the French and British have
accepted American evaluations of the Boeing
747jumbojet, the McDonnell Douglas DC-10
and the Lockheed L-I0II Tristar without
argument. Nowthcy clearly expect the U.S.lo
do the same with the Concorde.
But should we? In a world where we arc
becoming ever aware of our fragility and interdependence can we continue to tolerate
technological progress which continues to expand in a linear manner? There comes a point
when, after running ahead in a confidently
progressive manner, you hit a wall of side
effects and harmful consequences which
knocks you for u loop.
This is where we are now with the Concorde. We've gone far enough in terms of
bigger and faster commercial air transport.
Even If the speculated dangers to the ozone
layer are put aside, the Concorde's noise disturbances are significant untothemselves. The
Concorde is' measured as being twice as loud
: by David Troeger #::*Ws"*:*w*:*^
as that made by a Boeing 707, its noise level
four times as greal as thai of a DC-10. As
Senator James Buckley put il: "1 cannol understand how the interests ofthesepeople liviing in the flight paths of the Concorde can be
overridden by those who want to shave a few
hours off their flight times."
For a celebrity of international stature like
David Frosl who commutes across the Atlantic weekly, il may mean a great deal lo cut
llight time for that trip in half. But howabout
Mr. and Mrs. Jones who save up forttonce-ina-lifetimc vacation to England or the Continent? For travel like this which comes along
so infrequently in one's life will that extra
flighl time make that muui! difference?
•
In an adverlising campaign to evidently sell
Ihe Concorde to the American people British
Airwaysproclaimsimmodcstly:"For a generalion raised on the fulfillment of scientific fantasy, Concorde is one more slep toward the
future. There may be no other event like it in
(his century. For now, and years to come, it is
truly The Time Machine." Shades of Alvin
Toffler and future shock. Events which we
always put off to the distant, nevcr-to-bercached, future suddenly become part of the
immediate future and present.
British Airways in the advertisement gives
us the frosting bul not the substance of the
whole cake. As they bill it: "ConcordeBritish Airways' Time Machine." Oh, how
thai titillates the Buck Rogers in us! It intoxicates to the point of forgetting the
problems il shall create in actual day-to-day
usage: damage to the protective ozone layer
and increased noise pollution.
Shakespeare wrolc that all the world is a
stage and we are bul actors on it, il seems that
if the acting out of this step in the "fulfillment
of scientific fantasy" should be barred from
our present stage of reul life. If we wish to be
titillated by such fantasy let's restrict it to the
fantasy stuge of theater of cinema. For there it
will pose no threat lo the environment or the
inhabitants of this plunet.
The open book exchange, where students selling and buying used textbooks can
reath the largest possible market, is among the most useful services students have ever
made available to other students on this campus. Maureen DeMaio and some hardworking assistants organized a system infinitely superior to the confusion of posters
and word-of-mouth by which used books are usually sold.
The exchange, DcMaio's brainchild with Student Association backing, handled
approximately 2,700 books and over $7,000 in the service of students. The exchange
maximizes the efficient use of textbooks, saves money and saves time.
Most important, however, is that when DeMaio leaves the bookexchangecontinue.
It is an obviously helpful addition to the university. There can be no excuse for SA to
let it die.
Presently, much of the work is done on a volunteer basis. If the exchange is to be
irregular with volunteers, then it should be made regular with paid workers. It would
be a small price to pay.

Very Forced Bussing
by Jonathan Levtnson
Determined to actually attend my classes this semester, I had also resolved to be prompt (no
more than a half hour late). So, I set my alarm for 7 a.m., and got a good four hours sleep,
figuring that way I'd be good and rested.
When the alarm rang, I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, jumped out of bed and splashed cold
water on my face, cursing my lack of speed. In a rush, I took my coffee straight, downing a
spoonful of Maxwell House without the water.
1 hastily threw on my thermal underwear, undershirt, jeans, turtleneck, sox, boots, vest,
sweater, earmuf fs, cap, scarf, dungaree jacket, and snorkel coat. I was ready to leave. Climbing
out my third floor window, stepping onto the snow, 1 put on my skiis and pointed myself in the
general direction of Quail Street. Finally arriving at Quail and Western at 9 o 'clock, I hoped to
catch a SUNYA bus—by noon.
After three Green Monsters passed our stop without so much as a honk, our will to live
prompted us to build an igloo. Meanwhile, time passed—10 o'clock . . . 11 o'clock . . . 12
o'clock. .
We watched six full buses pass, and fervently prayed for relief—a boardable bus. Our prayers
unanswered, time continued to pass—Tuesday . . . Wednesday. . . Thursday . . .
Four days later, Sabatino's Liquor Store no longer extending us credit, we all agreed that we
would have to mount an offensive. "We'll block the road, and when the bus stops, we'll climb
onto the roof, "said Hank, a senior, and an ex-Alaskan pipeline worker who felt at home in the
brisk, refreshing, -S0° weather.
Wc hauled a dead tree to block Western Avenue, and had it set in postion just as the Green
Monster reached Lake Street. A scant three hours later, as the bus approached our tree at Quail,
it slowed down.
Like clockwork, we all sprang out of our positions, and slid toward the bus. The driver realized
our attempt to catch the bus, and accelerated, trying to pick up enough speed to jump over our
barricade.
Like machine gun fire, snow came shooting out from under the whirling bus tires at us. We
were under attack
Bob, Hank, and some unknown Hudson Avenue resident were cut
down instantly, succumbing to a slushy fate. I fired two snowballs through the driver's open vent
window, the first dazing him, and the second careening off the steering wheel and hitting thedoor
control to the "open" position.
Racing around to the right side, I desperately grabbed onto the slippery railing, and with the
aid of a shoehorn, boarded the vehicle. Perching myself ona friendly pair of shoulders, I had the
most comfortable seat of all. Success at last!!!
I was still thawing when we reached the Dutch Quad stop. Bounding out of the bus, I quickly
sloshed over to Social Science, arriving promptly at the beginning of the class period.
Sure, I was week late, but that wascool. The fact remained; I had made it! As 1 slid through the
hallway visions of poor Bob, felled at the Quail St. Massacre, danced through my head. His body
completely covered with black slush, he had been struck down clutching a bus schedule in his
hand.
Wearily trudging into the darkened classroom, I faced empty chairs. Bewildered, I looked up
at the blackboard, on which was written in chalk:
"Class cancelled today. Sorry for any inconvenience."

In the public's eye, outright stupidity is the greatest fault. After all, the fans
should never know more than the officials, but. . .
Cases in point: Union going to the line to shoot one-and-one on Albany's
fourth team foul; one official handing the ball to Brian Barker, and then
taking it back to permit a Union substitution; and, despite the protestations
of fans, coaches, and players, the same Union forward was repeatedly
allowed to commit flagrant lane violations when Albany was at the foul line.
All mechanical errors, clearly outlined in the rules, yet "not seen" by
Tuesday's personnel. Things would not have been quite so bad if those were
the only errors, but there were many more. In fact, the officials were made to
look like fools, as the fans on both sides shouted their disgust and revealed
their surprising knowledge of basketball technicalities.
Yet above all else, the official is out there to protect the players, and it is
here that the Tuesday Tweeties dismally failed. Forget the game; concede the
loss. But with what was allowed to transpire, it'sa wonder that no one was
injured. Imagine an injury to Barry'Cavanaugh and the effect on the Great
Danes—yet it almost happened when John Denio hauled the six-foot, seveninch Albany center down like a felled tree and no call was made.
Ask the tans who were there how many fouls they detected, but which were
missed, and while you are at it, tell them why so many of you could make the

Union Kicks Danes, 69-58
by Michael Smtih
This was supposed to be the game
Albany State paid back area-rival
Union College for the 72—49
blowout the Dutchmen laid on the
Danes in January's Capital District
Tournament.
Well, if Albany is intent on using
Tuesday night's effort at University
Gym to dear up its old debt, the
payoff check the Danes use will
probably bounce from here to
Schenectady.
Bill Scanlon's Union club buried
Albany for the second time this
season Tuesday, 69—58, leaving no
doubt as to which team owns the
bragging rights locally for the coming year.
If you're searching for a reason as
to why Union dominated the Danes
again, you won't find the answer in
the offensive arithmetic from the
scoring sheets.
Albany shot 30 percent from the
field, usually a game-winning mark,
hit 80% from thefoul-line(12for 15),
outrebounded the Dutchmen 32—
26, and posted 15 assists to Union's
six.
The tell-tale statistic, this time,
was the turnover column—Albany
22, Union 12.To put that figure in
perspective, if you concede the
Danes would have made 50% of the
total number of shots they were
denied, then Albany mistakes cost its
club at least 20 points, maybe more.
"On any normal night you expect
10 or 12 turnovers," Bill Scanlon
said later. "Tonight State made too

Women Gymnasts Roll On
by Christine BeUIni
Facing their busiest weekend
schedule, the Albany State Women's
Gymnastics team skillfully captured
three of the four meets and broke
one uneven bar.
The gymnasts competed in a
three-way meet January 23 against
Hofstra and Hunter colleges, downing Hunter, 46.85—28.30, but losing by one point to Hofstra.
The breakage of the uneven bars
(no injuries) resulted in a three-piece
meet; the beam, vaulting and floor
exercise.
Although the total results were
low for all three teams, Albany:
46.85, Hofstra; 47.9, and Hunter:
28.30 points, Coach Edith Cobaneis
confident of the team's improvement.
"We're not scoring as well as we
should on the balance beam, but the
team is solid," said Cobane, "We're
aiming for the 70*1,"
Carla Landsman and Patty
Kampbell took second and third
places on the beam. Cathie Caperna
and Julie Acton gave Albany third
and fourth places in the vaulting.
Finishing up on the floor for Albany
was Carla Landsman (6.56) second,
and Barbara Hommel was third.
On the following day Albany
traveled to Queens College and
dumped the city gymnasts by 16
points, 63.10—47.60.
"We really cleaned up on that
one," says Cobane, "It shows an increase in confidence."
Competing in all four events
(including the unevens), Albany
took first and second on the floor
thanks to Landman's (6.9) and
Hommel's perfected routines.
Albany captured first and second
places on the unevens, Caperna
finishing with the top score of 6.28
points.
But that wasn't the end of it, as the
team traveled to Stony Brook Sunday and won its third meet of the
weekend.
Getting closer to that 70 point goal
with each meet, Albany's team
scored a commendable 66.7 points
against Stony Brook's 51.45 points.
Caperna once again led the sweep
on the beam with 5.05 points for
first, followed by Tracey Baker and
Cindy Cobane in second and third
places. A successful team of Caperna

Tenure Case Draws Faculty Response
by C. S. Sintino
According to his colleagues in the
English department, Michael Kaufman has presented the strongest case
for tenure in years.
He will probably be fired by June,
1977.
The reason, says Kaufman, who
awaits President Emmett B. Fields'
final decision in his case, has nothing
to do with his teaching or
scholarship, which many cite as being beyond reproach.
Kaufman feels he is the "victim of
questionable procedures," used by
the administration, "in an effort to
fire junior English professors and
save the graduate program."
Fields, following the recommendations of an outside evaluator's
report submitted last fall, is pushing
to reregister SUNYA's English doctoral program. The program wasterminated in December by Education
Commissioner Ewald B. Nyquist.
The report effectively calls for the
hiring of a separate graduate faculty
at the expense of at least a half dozen
junior faculty members. Jerry Paris
and Victor Chang of the English
department have already been
notified that their contracts will not
be renewed.
Kaufman's tenure case, which
began last fall, has been beset by
controversy, paradox, and unusual
The report also praises Kaufman for
organizing the Humanities lounge.
Kaufman's case came before the
College of Arts and Sciences Faculty
Personnel Committee on December

The committee voted 6-0 to deny

promotion, citing Kaufman's
Shakespeare scholarship as "illregarded" and his other articles as
"insignificant."

Kaufman passed the first hurdle of
the four-step tenure process, the
departmental review, last October.
The English department voted 49 to
4 in favor of tenure and 30 to l9for
promotion.
The recommendation called Kaufman "a devoted and highly effective
teacher" who has "a remarkable
range and sureness, a supple and
flexible mind." The report also
acclaimed his published articles as
"pioneering work."
"He is active in the department,

reputation here," the report states.
High Profits Could Mean Board Cut

FSA may decrease their board
rates next semester due to excess
profits. These profits were largely a
result of the eight percent hike passed by the FSA Board of Directors
last year.
At the Faculty-Student Association Board meeting last Wednesday,
Vice President of Management and
Planning John Hartley surprised
student leaders by asking the Directors "to consider the possibility of a
reduction in the board rates."
The food service operations have
made $100,000 more than they did
last year at this time.
According to FSA General
Manager E. Norbert Zahm, the quad
food service operations made a net
income of $257,416 for the last six
months of 1975, as compared to a
$166,843 net income for the last six
months of 1974.
The $257,4l6comprises 156.6% of
the entire net income for the food
service operations. It was projected
to cover only 50%.
It was suggested by a few of the
Directors thai the excess in the net
income might be returned to the
students. FSA Director Greg Lessnc
says there was "talk of rebates."
