Possibly as the climax of an internal crisis, SASU President Bob
Kirkpatrick has been told that he
may be impeached and removed at a
B i n g h a m t o n conference this
weekend of the Student Association
of the State University.
Why?
One theory is that he could
become the victim of a power play
led by SASU Vice President Betty
Pohonka and others. By spreading
false rumors and exposing minor
corruption that they themselves are
guilty of, the Pohonka group has
plotted since October to take over
SASU, says this theory. Pohonka
has been a do-nothing Vice President, it goes on, while all the real
work of SASU has been done by the
present staff, Kirkpatrick and Vice
President Stu Haimowitz. This is
Kirkpatrick's theory.
The other theory is Pohonka's:
Her group is trying to save SASU,
which has recently lost nine member
schools, from the incompetence and
destructive policies of Kirkpatrick
and Haimowitz.
Pohonka's groups has involved
SUNY Central and the non-SASU
schools of SUNY Central's student
arm, the Student Assembly: SASU is
a private corporation that lobbys.
Kirkpatrick is also President of the
Assembly; indeed, the two
organizations are parallel.
Pohonka's people instigated two
studies. The results:
— Yesterday, SUNY Vice
Chancellor Clifton Thome found a
solution to a problem of alleged corruption by SASU in using the Student Assembly to xerox and to obtain supplies at SUNY Central's
Twin Towers offices.
— Tomorrow, a report will be
given at Binghamton by a Student
Assembly investigative committee,
which was set up to look into the corruption and to find out why the
Assembly had already spent $ of its
budget by December.
Tapes of the investigative com- visited Vice Chancellor Thome.

rumors spread by some Pohonka
group people that the Attorney
General and the Albany County District Attorney had been called in by
Thome, and Bauman was under the
impression a court order might come

An informed source said that the
committee will suggest that the Student Assembly have a tresurer and
that there be tighter reimbursement
procedures for trips and meals. The
source said that the committee will
come out against Kirkpatrick and
Haimowitz, in some way expressing
a lack of confidence in them.
But Bauman said he "sensed
political overtones" in the committee. Sue Hirschkowitz, another
member, was among those who

Another outspoken faculty
member, Bernard K. Johnpoll, of
Political Science, had this comment
on Sirotkin's resignation: "If I cant
say something nice about somebody,
personally I won't say it."
Humanities Dean Ruth A.
Schmidt feels Sirotkin has worked
well with the academic deans. She
said, "I don't know of anyone more
hard-working and dedicated to the
university."
David Coyne, Chairperson of
Central Council and frequent student spokesman, feels that, "The
resignation of Vice President
Sirotkin marks the removal of one of
the most controversial figures in the
recent SUNYA administration.''
Coyne says that, "Hopefully, the
opening of the new Fields era will
give the new 'general his first opportunity to bring in one of his own
lieutenants —a change expected to
be for the better."
WICHE, the organization that
Sirotkin will soon be in charge of,

Governors' Conference to "improve
the quality of education beyond the
high school." The organization, based at the University of Colorado
Campus at Boulder, represents 13

Wellington Hotel Management Offers A
Settlement To Recent Robbery Victims
by Ed Moscr
In a meeting Tuesday night at the
Wellington hotel, Dorm Director
Fred Lilt told students that the
hotel's General Manager, Reuben
Gersowitz, would pay back a "more
than fair percentage" of the value of
items stolen from their rooms during
the winter recess.
"1 met with Mr. Gersowitz yesterday," said Litt. "He says money has
arrived '[to pay for damages]... it
comes to a percentage, which he did
not care to tell me; he said it was
more than fair. I would think much
more than 50 percent."
Litt said Gersowitz would like to
meet privately with each person
robbed in order to work out a settlement. On Tuesday morning Gersowitz sent notices to students askingfor their "school schedule, sothat
a convenient personal meeting time
can be arranged."
Student reaction to Liu's talk was
mixed. RA Kevin Kovacs said the
students should "all stick together,
and if dissatisfied with 60 percent," a
figure often mentioned as a possibility during the meeting, should use
legal action to get fuller payment.
Another of those robbed said the
Wellington management "wants us
to come in alone and play on
people's emotions, so that we'll take
cut [from the full value of goods
stolen]."
Watchful Waiting
Others preferred to wait and see.
"I'd have to see what Gersowitz is
settling for," one student said.
Litt was pleased with the Gersowitz proposal, The idorm director, who describes himself as "in the
middle" between the Wellington
students and managemnet, said of
the affair, "It's over, hopefully. I'm
hoping the settlement is enough to
satisfy everyone." Litt termed the
management's response as more
than prompt: "Gersowitz promised a
settlement in two weeks. In the real
world, you'd be waiting months."
Kovacs was unhappy with Litt,
whom he feels is reluctant to antagonize the management in fear of
endangering his position of Dorm
Director. "He's been looking for a
raise for a long time," said Kovacs of
Litt.
Yet Litt feels that to hassle the
management would only cause trouble: "The Wellington is a necessity
with a 105-110 percent enrollment. If
we make a big stink, possibly this
place won't be here next semester."
Future Precautions
Litt said there would be
precautions against future robberies.
"There'll be electricians in the
building in a short time . ,
Havekost (the Wellington's
Manager) says there'll be no keys
given, and no more than two doors
at a time will be opened for them."
SASU President Bob Kirkpatrick, whose organization Is now suffering
from an Internal crisis.
As for the spring vacation break, Litt
and Gersowitz "made a point that
there'll be no repair work done during those weeks."
Gersowitz feels that the students
"jumped the gun" in acting on the
robberies. He said, "My main concern was to take care of the
students."
It is not known if there has been
any progress in catching the person
or people who stole the over $2,000
worth of goods. An officer at the
Albany Police Detective Bureau
said, "we can't reveal anything we're
doing except to say that it's under investigation."

Thursday.
But coffin makers said they were
running short of lumber and many
corpses were lying in the streets
covered only with a blanket or a
sheet of plastic. Meanwhile, reports
from the country's interior spoke of
widespread devastation, and food
prices skyrocketed as supplies
dwindled.
An Emergency Rescue Committee
official said at least 2,000 persons
were lulled and 3,000 injured across

dead, but he said he expected the
figure to rise far higher.
"Well never know how many died
for sure," said a volunteer worker.
"Fifteen out of every 100 bodies sent
to the morgue are not being identified."
The city morgue has been filled
beyond capacity since the earthquake hit with devastating force
before dawn Wednesday, shattering
Guatemala and rocking parts of
Mexico and most of the rest of Central America.
The government issued its appeal
for quick burial of the dead because
health officers feared the accumulation of bodies and lack of sanitation
would bring outbreaks of disease.
Houses Destroyed
Laugerud said about one-tenth of
the adobe housing used by
Guatemala's poor was destroyed and

the night in tents and makeshift

Kissinger, reportedly annoyed at
some of Moynihan's outbursts of

of rotating the presidency each

He rankled many African and
other Third World countries in October with a blast at Uganda's eccentric President Idi Amin. Speaking in
San Fransisco, Moynihan said: "It is

Moynihan Returns to Harvard
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP)
Daniel P. Moynihan's U.N.
diplomatic career was short and
snappy.
He submitted his resignation as
ambassador to the United Nations
on Monday,only 6>/i monthsafterhe
presented his credentials.
In that short time, he got more
attention and created more controversy than had many of his
predecessors in two or three years.
He talked back to critics of the
United States with scorn or wit that
often outraged Third World
diplomats, dismayed some Western
Europeans and delighted a large section of the American public.
Nudged by the feeling that he was
not getting enough support from
Washington, he twice took initiatives that won him endorsements
from President Ford and Secretary
of State Henry A. Kissinger.
In November, he withdrew a
threat to resign and last week he sent
a controversial cablegram to
Kissinger and all U.S. embassies
claiming that conservative
diplomats in the State Department
opposed his campaign to crack the
anti-American bloc at the United
Nations.
The ambassador, who was on
leave from Harvard, said inhis letter
of resignation to President Fordthat
"it is time to return toteaching." In a
letter of reply, Ford accepted
Moynihan's resignation "with the
deepest regret and reluctance,"
declaring that the ambassador had
"asserted our position forcefully,
cogently and honestly" at the United
Nations.
Moynihan, 49, and 6 feet 5, is a
broad-shouldered diplomat with a
ruddy, baby face and a floppy shock
of white hair.
He was born in Tulsa, Okla., but

form a new government after the Socialist, Social Democratic and
Republican parties all voted to support a minority Christian Democratic
administration at least by abstaining on parliamentary confidence voles.
Moro's breakthrough came, on the 29th day of Italy's 32nd postwar crisis and
after all attempts to form a majority government had failed. The Socialists.
who caused the collapse of the last government on Jan. 7 in disagreement
over economic policy, voted for parliamentary abstention rather than
premature general elections after approving an economic austerity program
unveiled by Moro on Wednesday night.

leaped from the engine of one train seconds before the collision, can help
determine the cause of thecrash in a rural area about 35 miles west of Toledo.
According to Penn Central spokesman Howard Gilbert, the railroad
operates parallel tracks at the accident site and the trains should have passed

Gunman Takes Mrs. James K. Hall Hostage
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) An armed prison escapee fled into the home ol
former Sen. Sam Ervin's elderly sister on Wednesday and took live
occupants hostage in a 2'A hour siege before he surrendered. The siege
followed a chase that began when a patrolman halted a car at the request of a
television crew which asked that a routine traffic check be made for its
filming of a documentary about police! No one was harmed in the siege at the
home of Mrs. James K. Hall, the disabled, 87-year-old sister of former Sen
Ervin, D-N.C, who chaired the Senate Watergate committee before he

Workers Vote For CSEA Representation
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) The Civil Service Employees Association has survived
a challenge by a coalition of rival unions to represent 43,000 state workers at
the bargaining table. Results of the election challenge, announced
Wednesday by state officials, showed that employees in the Professional,
Scientific and Technical Service Unit of the state work force had voted 14,321
to 10,184 for continued CSEA representation. The challenge had been
mounted by the Professional Employees Federation, comprised mainly of
the New York State United Teachers and the Security Employees

damaging criticism can be avoided.
Booth pointed'out the faults of
some commonly used "varieties of
criticism," and then described the
method of criticism to which he
adheres —pluralism.
The theory of pluralism states, according to Booth, that there exists a
"multiplicity of valid and intricate
questions" through which a work
may be viewed. In other words,
depending on what aspect the critic
chooses to take, a work may be seen
to excel or to be poor.
"Some critical quarrels are as
pointless as quarrels about Chinese,
French, and Turkish cooking," said
by James Violette.
"How do we reduce harmful warfare among literacy critics?'
This was the question that Wayne
Booth, distinguished professor at the
University of Chicago, posed in a
talk here Tuesday night. Booth is the
author of four books, including
Rhetoric of Fiction, which is considered to be a pioneering work in
the field of literary criticism.
Before approximately 150 people
gathered in the Campus Center
Assembly Hall, Booth commented
on what he called the unjust criticism
often given literary works. He
presented his own theory on how
Booth. "The standards can't be
translated across national boundaries." Although they each have
their favorable aspects, he explained, they should not bejudged bythe
same standards.
Booth said he sticks to his theory
of pluralism in spite of its"logical inadequacies." He cited three reasons
for his stubborn commitment:
critical vitality, critical justice, and
understanding.
Critical justice and vitality are
what Booth calls the best defenses
against irresponsible criticism. According to him, it "keeps the
dialogue going" through the exceptants of many different views. Booth
sees understanding as an effort to
"penetrate another's psyche." He
claims that people are always striving for understanding. However, "no
two minds ever meet completely." If
they did, says Booth, they would
have nothing to talk about.
Booth concluded with a fundamental explanation of why he
believes in pluralism. "The world
that made you and me able to take
part in rhetorical changes at all was,
after all, a world of many centers,"
he said. "And it was in honoring a
plurality of valid centers and taking
those centers fully into our own
centers of being that we have reached
whatever richness of life we now may
have."
Seminar Deals with Death and Dying
by (orinne Bernstein
Those who can learn to deal with
minor losses will find it easiest to
cope with more significant losses.
This philosophy was reviewed at a
seminar Saturday entitled "Toward
More Understanding of Aging and
Dying."
Margaret E. Armstrong, Assistant
Professor at the University of
Rochester School of Medicine and
Dentistry, addressed an audience of
nurses, faculty members, nursing
supervisors, and social workers, to
discuss aging and its physiological
problems.
In recent years, there have been
new developments and increased interest in the problems of aging and
dying. Armstrong pointed out
different angles from which aging
and dying can be viewed. Some say
that aging begins at birth when one
starts to lose cells, although he continues to grow. On the other side,
some consider aging to occur when
the body stops growing,
Armstrong
felt
that certain
FEBRUARY 6, 1976
FEBRUARY 6, 1976
aspects of these theories arc true
but,she considers the aging process
dependent on the individual.
Armstrong mentioned two theories
which are currently popular. One
theory states that the ability t > read
genetic code is lessened, causing cells
to multiply and function less accurately. The other theory suggests
t hat cells are sometimes destroyed by
systems of immunity. She also mentioned that organisms which arc
more complex tend to grow faster,
age faster.
Armstrong stated that elderly people are more susceptible to infection
and that certain organs, particularly
sexual organs, function better
depending on how ofter they are
used. Armstrong also stated that it is
difficult to j udge how poor an elderly
person's condition is until stress is
imposed.
How does the elderly person handle gradual decreases in function of
some of his organs and impending
death, and how can others helpthem
cope'/ Armstrong felt that most
students, faculty, and nurses were
afraid of, and inexperienced with,
aging and dying.
She asked the audience to try to
think of a minor loss, such as that of
a watch. She mentioned that the loss
of a watch was not quite the same as
the losses the aged must cope with
but people arc always losing things
both major and minor. In either
case, the person might be angry at
himself, feel guilty, become depressed, hostile, or preoccupied with his
loss as he becomes aware of the loss.
The individual, depending on the
degree of loss, might become less efficient in his daily routine and
withdraw from others, while he goes
through the grieving process, which
Armstrong defines as gradually
coming to terms with the loss.
Possible Losses
them in a variety of ways such as an
attempt to compensate for, accept,
complain, change their outlook, and
limit themselves with respect to their
problems.
Armstrong pointed out that one of
these losses might give an elderly
person experience in dealing with
future losses and that there is a certain amount of gain with losses.
Perhaps this can help a patient deal
with a more significant loss later on.
Some losses brought up by
Armstrong were loss of a spouse, a
child moving away, loss caused by a
physical illness, and retirement and
related problems. The aged often
fear these problems and respond to

be in existence next year."
"The sprint meeting, where we
were going to instruct pre-med
students how t o apply for admission
in '77, isn't even planned," said
Rooney. "No direct plans have been
made as to how or if it will be
handled next year."
Randy Schmidt, president of
SUNYA's pre-med society is concerned about the future of the premed program. "Without a Pre-med
Advisory Committee," he explained,
"more and more students would turn
to the pre-med society for help."
Schmidt said,"This would put much
more of a demand on the time of the
fcntjet cutbacks a n threatening
tot existence of SUNYA'i Pre-med
Advisory Board, Should the board
and Hi functions be discontinued,
SUNYA'i pre-mcdical students will
inevitably have their academic
burden compounded.
At present, the nine-member
board works only part-time, restricting the amount of help it can
provide for pre-med students. As a
result, according to Pat Rooney, cochairman of the Pre-med Advisory
Committee, to personally interview
pre-med students or to develop
better information on career alternatives in the medical field.
The main function of the Pre-med
Advisory Board is to gather instructor evaluation forms submitted by
pre-med students. Aided by these instructor
'evaluations,
an
autobiography, and a picture submitted by the applicant, the board
writes'its own recommendation.
Rooney is uncertain about the
future of SUNYA's pre-med
program. "Given the I idget cuts, we
see a big question mark," she said.
"We do not know if we are going to
society's officers, who have to study
for medical school themselves."
Schmidt is happy with the way
SUNYA's Pre-med Advisory Board
has operated. "1 know that at some
schools the pre-med committee acts
to screen students out. Here, anyone
can get an evaluation from the committee and apply to medical school,
no matter how slim their chances of
acceptance.
"The Pre-med Advisory Board is
the onlythingthat puts a foundation
to the pre-med program here," said
Schmidt, "without it, we could go
back to the days when this was the
state teachers college and no one got
into medical school from here."
For whatever it's worth, the Internal Revenue Service reports that
there are 180,000 millionaires in the
United States today.
The IRS says that despite the
depressed economy, the number of
millionaires has increased by 60,00
since 1969.
The IRS also notes that, for the
first time, the number of women
millionaires outnumbers the men.
There are reportedly 91,000 females
in the category, compared tojust 89,000 well-heeled males.

nail-biters may be literally chewing
up their profits.
The Creative Airs Salon in Dallas
reports that it pays anywhere from
25 cents to $2 for each fingernail
that is at least a third-of-an-inch
long.
Salon owner Norm Heinz explains that the clipped nails are later
resold for fingernail transplant
operations where a set of 10 clipped
nails goes for $35.
Heinz estimates that some nervous people—without even knowing
it—have chewed off thousands of

Frank Zappa and The Mothers of

The enema bandit, identified by

In a small town not far from here the main
road through town crossestherailroad tracks.
As automobile traffic increased, the number
of accidents at the crossingincreased and even
some of the citizens of the town were injured.
Late one night, on returning from
someplace—no one knew where—one of the
town elders was hit by a freight train and was
killed instantly. After the funeral the town
council decided to engage a guard to protect
those who travelled the main road. The guard
was conscientious in performing his duties and
no accident was recorded for a long long time.
One day at the monthly town council
meeting a young councillor suggested that in
order to defray the expenses of the salary of
the guard a loll booth should be installed at
the crossing. The suggestion was formally
moved and approved. The toll booth was installed and a toll collector was appointed.
Alter a lew months a report was made to the
council and it was discovered that the amount
of money that had been collected was not
enough to pay the salary of the toll collector,
much less that of the guard. Moreover, it was
reported that only the travellers who encountered the toll collector before crossingthe
tracks were willing to pay the toll. Those coming in the opposite direction had already crossed the tracks when the toll was demanded and
they justly declared that they need not pay the
toll. At that same meeting the young councillor who had proposed the original toll
booth moved that a toll booth be installed on
the other side of the tracks. The matter was
discussed and tabled for the next meeting.
Meanwhile there was much discussion in
the town and the majority sentiment seemed to
be that it was unfair to allow those who
travelled in one direction to make the crossing
without payment while those whotravellcd in
the other direction had to pay. At the next
meeting the proposal lor a second toll booth
was quickly passed, with only a few in opposition, and in a lew days a booth was installed
and a second toll collector appointed.
tors, who had shut down the booths in order to
attend these meetings, argued loudly and
vehemently in the presence of the council.
Much to the embarrassment ofthe mayor the
son-in-law was the loudest and the least
reasonable of the four.
In one of those rare moments of council
wisdom, the newest councillor proposed that
the town appoint a supervisor of toll collectors
so that the hours could be scheduled equitably
and justly. This suggestion was not adopted
until two amendments were moved and passed. One amendment defined the duties of the
supervisor as including service as a substitute
collector when one ofthe four others was ill or
was granted leave. The second amendment
raised the toll.
• • •
The toll collection proceeded quietly and
smoothly for a long time since the supervisor
wus a sensible and capable administrator. He
kept the accounts and paid the salaries each
week ofthe collectors and the guard as well as
his own. He reported regularly to the town
council and the treasurer was authorized each
month to make up the difference between the
income from the tolls and the expenses ofthe
operation which had grown to considerable
proportions.
The town had had in its treasury a large
reserve as a result of the moneys received
many years ago from the provincial government when the road was built and also from
the railroad when it was built. One day the
treasurer reported that the reserve was
dangerously depleted. He noted that it would
be most difficult to effect economies since the
only salaries paid bythetown outside of those
working at the railroad crossing were those of
one poorly paid teacher and his own, the
treasurer's, partial salary. Bcingthc wealthiest
person intown and the owner ofthe bank, he
never asked for the lull salary due the
treasurer.
The treasurer, however, being a banker was
not only generous of spirit but also wise in the
ways'of finance and he did have a recommendation to make. It was as follows: The town
did maintain a pension fund. Most of the
money in the fund had come from the contributions of the guard and the school teacher.
The newest employees had negotiated contracts in which the pensions were noncontributory. (Meaning that the employees
did not contribute to the fund. Of course, the
town did not contribute to the pension fund
either, simply obligating itself to paythepen-

FEBRUARY 6, 1976
In due course the toll collectors became
quite friendly, even though they had previously hardly known each other, since they came
from opposite ends of the town and the junior
of the pair came from the wrong side of the
tracks. At first they had been accustomed to
being at their stations from sunrise until late at
night. After lalkingto each other they became
convinced that it was not fair that they should
he away from their families for so much of
each day and furthermore, before they had
been appointed loll collectors they had always
enjoyed a lew hours each day in the company
of t heir fellow townsmen at the bar. They were
convinced that this daily pleasure should not
have to be foregone by public servants. So
they made a request that the town council
assign two other loll collectors to divide the
hours during which ihc toll booths were in
operation.
At first the councillors would nol hear of it.
A short lime later, ufler a hard-fought election, the new mayor, who had a ne'er-do-well
son-in-law who would not he hired by anyone,
reopened the matter for discussion and persuaded a bare majority ofthe councillors to
approve the appointment of additional toll
collectors.
This worked well for a time until the new
collectors thought it would be fair to trade-off
the night hours with the older collectors. But
the senior men would have none of this since
they had made the request for additional
collectors in the first place to have theevening
hours free. Several meetings of the council
were taken up with this matter and thecollec-

sionsoftheemployees when they retired many"^
years hence.) The treasurer recommended that
the money in the pension fund of the teacher
and the guard be assigned to the town reserve
fund. This seemed a sound idea to most ofthe
councillors and it was done.
The school teacher was disturbed upon
hearing about this decision and went to see the
town treasurer. He pointed out that the
teacher should not expect to be treated more
favorably than the newer employees and
besides her pension plan had been converted
to the non-contributory type and she would in
essence be getting a salary increase.
The guard, however, was not so readily persuaded. The treasurer argued that he, the
guard, had the easiest job intown. He only had
to appear at the crossing for five minutes at
those times when the trains came through,
only twelve times on each week day and fewer
times on Sunday. The guard insisted that the
money taken from his pension fund be returned. The treasurer pointed out that this was impossi blc. Agai nst the advice of his i nvalid wife,
the guard travelled to the city while his son
guarded the crossing, and he engaged an attorney to bring suit against the town.
• • •
When the papers were served on the town
mayor and he announced this at the town
council meeting, there was much bitterness
and resentment expressed in the direction of
the guard. He was by nature a solitary and
quiet man. Some had seen him as rather sullen
and uncommunicative. Although it was
acknowledged that he had performed his
duties conscientiously, his sullcnncss was held
against him. Moreover.it was discovered that
he had taken a day away from his duties
without permission ofthe supervisor and had
used this time to arrange a suit against the
town. They might overlook his sullcnncss but
this brazen act of irresponsibility growing out
of his excessive paranoia about the transfer of
his pension fund, this could not be tolerated.
The mayor sensed that he must act decisively
on this occasion, another election was near, so
he appointed a committee consisting of the
treasurer, as chairperson, the budget-minded
town councillor and one other.
Two weeks later the committee appeared
before a specially convened meeting of the
town council and presented a truly brillant
recommendation. It would resolve a number
of problems at one time.
The crossing guard had served in his post
lor nineteen years. He had taken the post when
he was sixty and was now seventy-nine years
old. The understanding when he engaged was
that he would be retired when he reached the
age of eighty with a pension one-third of his
salary at the time of his retirement (it happened to be the same salary that he earned when
he started). The pension plan also provided an
option that would provide his wife with income should he predecease her. If upon retirement he chose this option he would receive a
smaller fraction of his salary (one-fourth). All
this detail aside, the third member of the committee, who was a very clever lawyer newly
arrived in town, had shrewdly noted that in
view of the informal nature of the contract
with the guard, if he wcreto befired beforethc
completion of twenty years of service, he
would nol be entitled to any of his pension. He
also was of the opinion that if the position
were left vacant for a period of five years, the
guard would not be able to claim the money
that he had contributed to the pension fund.
Further it wus known that he had no money
outside of his salary and it was reasoned that
without money to pay for his lawyer the guard
would be compelled to drop his suit against
the town. And most important of all, if they
didn't have to pay his salary, the deficit would
be reduced. After all this was explained in
careful detail, the motion to dismiss the guard
was moved and seconded, One of the old
timers noted that this was the first time in nineteen years that a motion had passed the council unanimously^

Dog Day Afternoon, starring Al
Pacino, is a brilliant combination of
outrageous humor and moving
drama. Director Sidney Lumet (Serpico) juggles the two remarkably
well, allowing the film to become
neither overeentimentalized nor unbelieveable. Fine acting is the
highlight of the film but does not
eclipse the workings of a good plot
and the attempts at thoughtful social
insight. Although there are a few
minor faults, thefilmis still excellent
entertainment and should not be
passed up.
The movie is based on an actual
bank robbery that occurred in
Brooklyn on August 22,1972. In
order to test the accuracy of the film,
I read through most of the New York
Times' articles concerning the
robbery. To my surprise, I discovered that the film closely
resembled the true events. The cheering mob, the party atmosphere inside the bank, and the overwhelming
police power outside, major
elements in the film, were also the
items most focused upon in the articles.
The only important difference is
the ennobling of the character of
Sonny. According to the articles,
Sonny's social awareness consisted
of knowledge of the Supreme
Court's decision on Capital Punishment, a personally motivated concern. There was no Attica chanting
in the real event. Despite this
character distortion however, a fine
line of truth is still evident in the
Pacino portrayal of Sonny. On the
whole, Dog Day Afternoon can be

Closed in 1905 because of a sagging roof truss, The Cohoes Music
Hall stood idle until the late 60s
when a community group began
renovation of the theatre. Last
March, the Music Hall opened for
an abbreviated season, but now i n its
second year of operation, a full
schedule has been slated.
Concerts, films, and young
people's plays are being featured
through April, but most ambitious is
the calendar of drama, comedy, and
musicals being presented. Earlier
this season, The Cast Aways, and
original musical, and a revival of
Abie's Irish Hose were mounted for
four weeks each. Through February,
Arsenic and Old Lace will run,
followed in March by Of Mice and

Ending its run this week was a

considered a clow approximation of
the real event.
' If Pacino's portrayal of Sonny is
not exactly true to life, it ii nonetheless brilliant. His performance,
which move* the viewer from
laughter to sadness and to the ambivalences in between, should easily
net him another Oscar nomination.
His use of mannerisms and facial expressions complements the role
ideally. Pacino develops the
character of Sonny from an ordinary
bank robber to a feeling human being with which the audience can empathize.
Pacino is also backed up by an excellent cast. John Cazale, who plays
the part of Sal, Sonny's confused,
emotional partner, keeps the
audience constantly aware of his
potential to explode. Penny Allen as
the courageous head teller provides
the film with a couple of its best
laughs. The characterizations of the
police officials are also good.
Charles Durning is especially impressive as the gutsy New York street
cop and the cold, adroit F.B.I,
agents offer a good contrast in the
street cop scenes.
Chris Sarandqn, who plays Sonny's hysterical, homosexual lover,
also gives a notable performance.
His mannerisms and speech which
arc at first laughable, change as the
film progresses. In his phone conversation with Sonny, the mood of the
audience changes from amusement
to taking the character somewhat
seriously. The dialogue of the conversation is responsible for this
change, but Sarandon's control over
the role makes it successful. Overall,

sex. Tor the first time, John tries to
relate to his son and understanding
he must deal with the problems he
has with Nettie. While Ms. Curry's
ebullience commanded the stage,
Mr. Sullivan's success as John
Cleary stemmed from his seeming
familiarity with the role. From the
first scene I believed Mr. Sullivan
really was a father who never learned
to display real affection toward his
family and had no reason to provide
anything but financial support for
them.
As Timmy, Gibby Brand also
fared well. At 20, Timmy is unsure of
his goals and his future. He has
'changed in the three years he has
been away and cannot return to the
position he left. For thefirsttime he
is seeing his parents as fallible. Mr.
Brand plays the part of the young
man in this uncomfortable position
with just a bit too much assurance,
but not so much that we lose sight of
the character.
After a slow beginning, William
Guild's direction did keep up the
pace of the work. What might have
been quite maudlin and corny—a
scene in which Nettie and Timmy
dance together in the living room to
music on the radio-effectively
demonstrated the mother's devotion
to her son and the son's past love and
attachment to his mother. Another
scene in which Nettie tries to please
Timmy by serving him what she
remembers to be his favorite
breakfast is nicely restrained to elicit
the maximum comedic effect.
Adding little to the produclion
was the lighting which provided no
highlighting to the drama. At times
an awkwardness could even be felt.
Costumes by Dean'H. Reitcr complimented the period well, and the
set by Bil Mikulewic/.. built entirely
in the Music Hall, captured and established the time and location (The
Grand Concourse in the Bronx during the l°40's) even before the first
lines were spoken.
Cohoes Music Hall, a regional
theatre, is a self-sustaining,
professional theatre company, the
only one of its kind in the area. During its first full season, it has proved
that it is capable of diversity and
high quality production. Let's hope
that a successful season this year will
be followed by another high calibre
season next.

Then, betraying a touch of competitive

around comparing notes."
Bryn Mawr coed Diana, 18, prefers sex
without commitment. "If I like someone for a!
night, he attracts me for an evening or I've
been watching him and I want to sleep with
him . . . I will ! And then I'll get out of bed
and not think'any more about it, no commitment."
Some coeds said they must be involved
emotionally with a man either to enjoy sex fully or to feel good about themselves mentally,
or both. Seena, age 20, of Bryn Mawr, said, "I
found 1 could only really enjoy a man's body,
including his penis, if I had emotional feelings
as well. Sex is the ultimate enjoyment and I
know instinctively that it shouldn't be
restricted to the emotion of love; but unless
there's a tremendous factor of reciprocity, I
feel like a tramp. I enjoy sex more and put
more of myself into it when I'm in love."
Among college girls, the survey found growing realization that men are sexually ignorant
about women and also a determination by
coeds to require their sex partners to assume
more of the responsibility for birth control.
Yale's Abby, 21, says,"I find that most boys at
Yale aren't that experienced and they don't
give a damn if the girl has an orgasm or not.
For the little pleasure you get out of it, frankly,
it's not worth it." Her colleague, Susan, also
20, said, "Women are discussing contraception more and comparing methods. Before, it
was the pill and nothing else. A lot of women
don't want to put any chemical substances into
their bodies, and it's good to hear they're

A survey of college women on six campuses
conducted by Playboy magazine reveals not
only a pattern of widespread and varied sexual
activity but actual social pressure on new gjrls
who are virgins to change their lifestyle.
The survey turned up coeds bent on breaking records for sleeping with the most men in a
year to girls who refuse to pet their boyfriends
on a date. It also found that heterosexual activity appears to be engaged in by most of the
women interviewed, but that a substantial
number neve engaged in lesbian sexual
relations and a few confessed to bisexual
single activity. One young woman said she
went so far as to satisfy her boyfriend's desire
for punishment by pouring hot chicken soup
on him.
Pointing out that the survey was a random
sampling rather than a scientific, structured
poll, the magazine said, nevertheless, that the
tape recordings made by its interviewer
revealed major shifts in coed sexual
practices—including a demand for men to
play a greater role in birth control.
The college girls were interviewed at Yale, a
once-male Ivy bastion that now has one
woman for every two men; Vassar, which has
just the opposite ratio; Albertus Magnus, an
all-women's institution; Northwestern, a Big
Ten coed private school; the University of
Mississippi; and Bryn Mawr-Haverford,
where female and male campuses, respectively, have now been merged. (Incidentally.all of
the names have been changed to protect their
privacy, but the girls are real and what they say
is more than realistic.)
Whereas in the not-too-distant past a coed
could get a "bad reputation" if it was learned
she slept with men, the "bad-girl and good-girl
classifications" don't exist anymore, a
Northwestern coed named Cindy said. Not
only has the stigma once attached to female
activity vanished, but Rita, a Northwestern
coed, said, "When I got here, every girl on my
floor was on the pill. Those who weren't heavily involved with boys wanted io be and it put a
lot of pressure on you to getridof your virginity. It was a burden. 1 just wanted to get rid of
it!"
However, another coed said she respected
the views of girls who intended to maintain
their virgin status until marriage.
Northwestern's Cindy said, "If i> woman wants
to be a virgin when she gets married, that's j ust
as liberated as somebody who wants to sleep
and The College Student
around. I wouldWYt to sleep with more people
before marriage." Cindy said her boyfriend is
urging her to do so before they get married
with the thought of heading off extramarital
affairs later.
A 20-year-old girl, Maria, of Albertus
Magnus, a school having religious overtones,
said, "There are still a certain number of
virgins around. You can tell who's who from
the seating in the cafeteria; everyone sits at the
long tables in their own groups—the virgins
apart from the non-virgins, the cool separated
from the non-cool." She went on to insist,
"You can tell by their dress, too. The virgins
tend to walk around in little skirts and
stockings—maybe go-go boots, with a
ponytail and pink ribbon—and their hair set
when they aren't going anywhere."
But she asserted, "There is promiscuity and
virginity here. And lately, lesbianism has been
fairly rampant on this campus and at Yale,
too, 1 hear. At Albertus, it just sort of erupted
last year, I think from women's spending too
much time together rather than from actual
tendencies." Maria said, "I'd say there are
about eight or ten of the 25 in this house who
arc bisexual—but they don't peddle their
wares."
The Albertus Magnus student recalled,
" Last year, we had this group of girls who had
tremendous orgies. They were lesbian, bisexual . . . they just didn't care. They felt they
were very fashionable and let everybody know
what they did. Not that anyone cared. Once
they put the elevator on stop and had a little
orgy in it."
By and large, though, there is general agreement that maintaining a virginal status on
campus is a losing cause. One 18-year-old
Northwestern girl, Donna, summed up the
matter in these words: "The majority of girls
on this campus arc not virgins, 1 guess, but 1
think there are a lot of us. Virgins are put in a
position of being on the defensive. I don't like
someone who isn't a virgin attacking me— and
this happens— saying, 'Well, why don't you
give it up7"
At the University of Mississippi, sexual attitudes appeared to be far more conservative
than at the other schools studied. Girls have-
ing a heterosexual affair are not apt to boast of
it. Moreover, the "good girl-bad girl" distinction apparently wiped out at big northern universities persists at Ole Miss. "Girls here don't
talk about sex, they talk about marriage," says
21-year-old Melissa. "The attitude is, 'Fm
totally ignorant, but from what 1 hear about
sex, you're going to have a good time (after
marriage)" She added, "1 don't think they're
scared of sex; they're more afraid of what their
roommates might think of them."
She explained the conservative attitude by
saying, "Boys here have been brought up admiring the Southern belle. That's what their
mothers were, that's what they want their
sisters to be and they don't want to admit
they're dating anyone who has slept with three
or four other boys. That's a whore!" Expressing admiration for northern coeds who
have more sexual freedom, Melissa said, "I
think that would be great. But in the South,
you'd be a social outcast, a joke, a whore.
Nobody would take you to a party or out in
public."
Another Ole Miss coed said her fiance invited her to spend the night in his dorm and
although both wanted sex, the abstained from
intercourse. Her fiance told her while escorting her home at two a.m., "I would have
thought you were cheap to spend the night."
Up north, it's another story. At Vassar, 18year-old Julia remarked, "Most people 1 know
have had more sexual experience than I have.
One of my friends had 37 lovers her freshnln
year. Some were crummy, some were good;
she really cares about people. One guy I know
has 44 lovers marked on his calendar" I
If Julia is correct i n her belief t hat her friendsare more sexually active, it is a wonder any
studying is being done. Julia admits to having
been in four "menage a irois" situations, at
times with two men and also with another
woman and a male loversimullancously.'T've
made it with two other women at the same
time, too. Group sex is really more interesting.
It goes on much longer; you pace yourself
differently. The last session I was involved in
lasted 12 hours. One went on for nine. There's
a lot to do," Julia said.
She also recalled satisfyi ng a male lover who
wanted to be tied up and beaten. "We compromised," she said. "I poured chicken soup
on him."
At Yale, 21-year-old Abby took the opportunity her first two years on campus to have
"just an amazing experience, sexually, sleeping with a lot of different people." In
retrospect, she felt she didn't find promiscuity
satisfying. "There are girls at Yale who have
slept with absolutely everybody," she said, indicating that many coeds are promiscuous.
"They're real big whores around campus,
known for it and don't mind. They've slept
with a different guy every weekend of their
Yale career and they don't want anything. You
can see their names in the bathrooms."

and 16, 1 thought it was great to have these
wild, whenevcr-you-feel-like-it, whenever-itfcels-good sexual relationships. 1 really don't
believe that anymore." Now, she says, she
looks discerningly for men with shared values.
And what has been the impact of Women's
Lib on the campus? Bryn Mawr's Kay, age 19,
said, "So-called sexual liberation has been a
hype for many college women because it's
gotten a lot of them jumping into bed, but it
hasn't resolved some basic conflicts." And the
main conflict, she says, is between her physical
needs and her need for romance. Ah, love!
"Group sex is really more

Rhampeinitus
We trust that our readers win enjoy anothsr of Herodutus'intriguing
stories. This oneiatakenfromtbesecond book of the Hlitoria and concerns an Egyptian king named
Rhampsinitus. Other sources of
Egyptian Malory do not mention a
king by that name, and the story is
too fantastic to be true, but it is undoubtedly one which Herodotus was
told when ha visited Egypt and
eagerly learned all that he could of
the country's history and tradition.
The translation is by Aubrey de
Sdincourt
Rhampsinitus possessed a vast
fortune in silver, so great that no
subsequent king came anywhere
near it—let alone surpassed it. In
order to keep the treasure safe, he
proposed to have a stone building
put up, with one of its walls forming
a part of the outer wall of his palace.
The builder he employed had designs
upon the treasure and ingeniously
contrived to construct the wall in
such a way that one of the stone
blocks of which it was composed
could easily be removed by a couple
of men—or even by one..
When the new treasury was ready,
the king's money was stored away in
it; and after the lapse of some years
the builder, then on his death-bed,
called his two sons and told them
how clever he had been, saying that
he had planned the device of the
movable stone entirely for their benfit, that they might live in affluence.
Then he gave the precise
measurements, and instructions for
Hs removal, and told them that if
only they kept the secret well, they
and the Thieve*
would control the Royal Exchequer
as long u they lived.
So the father died and his ions lot!
no time in setting to work; they came
by night to the palace, found the
Hone in the treasury wall, took it out
easily enough and got away with a
good haul of silver. The king, on his
next visit to the treasury, was surprised to see that some of the vessels
In which the money was stored were
no longer full, but as the seals were
unbroken and all the locks in perfect
order, he was at a loss to find the
culprit.
When the same thing happened
again, and yet again, and he found
that each time he visited the chamber
the level of the money in the jars had
still further fallen (for the thieves
persisted in their depredations), he
took the precaution of ordering
traps to be made and set near the
money-jars. The theives came as
usual, and one of them made his way
into the chamber; but, as soon as he
approached the money-jar he was
after, the trap got him. Realizing his /
plight, he at once called out to his
brother to tell him what had happened, and begged him to come in as
quickly M he could and cut off his
head, lest the recognition of his dead
body should involve both of them in
ruin. The brother, seeingthe sense of
this request, acted upon it without
delay, then, having fitted the stone
back in its place, went home taking
the severed head with him.
Next morning the king visited his
treasury, and what was his astonishment when he saw in the trap the
headless body of the thief, and no
sign of damage to the building, or
any apparent means of entrance or
exit! Much perplexed, he finally
decided to have the tWefs body hung
up outside the wall, and a guard set
with orders to arrest and bring
before Urn anyone they might see
thereabouts in tears, or showing
signs of mourning.
Now the young man's mother was
deeply distressed by this treatment of
her dead ton's body, and begged the
one who was still alive to do all he
possibly could to think of some way
of getting it back, and even threatened, if he refuted to listen to her, to go
to the king and denounce him as the
thesf.
The young man made many excuses, but to no purpose; his mother
continued to pester him, until at last
he thought of a way out of the difficulty. He filled some skins with
wine and loaded them on to
donkeys, which he drove to the place
where the soldiers were guarding his
brother's corpse. Arrived there, he
gave a pull on the necks of two or
three of the skins, to make them
hang down, and untied the
fastenings. The wine poured out, and
the young man started to roar and
bang his head, as if in despair of
knowing which donkey to deal with
first, while the soldiers, seeing the
wine streaming all over the road,
seized their pots and ran to catch it,
congratulating themselves on such a
piece of luck.
The young man swore at them in
pretended rage, which the soldiers
did their best to soothe, until finally
he changed his tune, and appearing
to have recovered hit temper, drove
the donkeys out of the roadway and
began to rearrange the wine-skint on
their backs.
Meanwhile, as he chatted with the
soldiers, one of them cracked a joke
at hit expense and made him laugh,
whereupon he made them a present
of a wine-skin, and without more
ado they all sat down to enjoy
themselves, and urged their benefactor to join the party and share the
drink. The young man let himself be
persuaded, and soon, as cup
succeeded. cup, and the soldiers
treated him with increasing
familiarity, he gave them another
skin.
Such a quantity of wine was too
much for the guards; very drunk and
drowsy, they stretched themselves
out at full length and fell asleep on
the spot. This was the young man's
chance: waiting till the dead of
night, he took down his brother's
body and—to show he had the laugh
of them—shaved the right cheek of
each of the guards. Then he put the
corpse on the donkeys' backs and
returned home, having done
successfully what his mother
demanded.
The king was very angry when he
learnt that the thief s body had been
stolen, and determined at any cost to
catch the man who had been clever
enough to bring off such a coup. 1
find it hard to believe the priests' account of the means he employed to
catch him—but here it is: he sent his
own daughter to a brothel with
orders to admit all comers, and to
compel each applicant, before gran-
ting him her favours, to tell her what
was the cleverest and wickedettthing
that he had ever done; and if anyone
told her the story of the thief, the was
to get hold of Urn and not allow him
to escape.
The girl obeyed her father's
orden, and the thief, when he came
to know tht reason for what she was
doing, could not resist the temptation to go one better than the king in
ingenuity. He cut the hand and arm
from the body of a man who had just
died, and putting them under his
cloak, went to visit the king's
daughter in her brothel. When she
aaked him the question which the
had asked all the others, he replied
that hit wickedest deed was to cut off
his brother's head when he was
caught in a trap in the king's
treasury, and his cleverest was to
make the soldiers drunk, so that he
could take down his brother's body
from the wall where it was hanging
The girl immediately clutched at
him; but under cover of the darkness
the thief pushed towards her the
hand of the corpse, which she seized
and held tight in the belief that it was
his own. Then, leaving it in her
grasp, he made his excape through
the door.
The cleverness and audacity of
this latest exploit filled the king with
astonishment and admiration; soon
after the news of it reached him, he
sent to every town in Egypt with a
promise to the thief, should he give
himself up, not only of a free pardon
but of a rich reward. He was taken at
his work; the thief presented himself,
and Rhampsinitus signalized his admiration for the most intelligent of
all mankind by giving him his
daughter in marriage. The Egyptians, he said, were the cleverest nation in the world, but this fellow beat
the lot.

Sweeten Sour Grapes
by R. CorWn Houchlns
Foreign winemakers who visit the
United States are usually amazed by
the wide variety of different wines a
single vintner can produce.
A European winery tends to stick
to whatever basic product type is
traditionally made in its locality, but
it is not unusual to find a California
producer who covers every style of
Winemaking from the Rhine in Germany to Chianti in Italy. California's
unique blessings of soil and climate
make it possible, which is all to the
good, but it does call for a departure
from old world labeling methods.
To tell the consumer something
about the kind of wine he can expect
in the bottle, an American
winemaker may label the product
with the name of the European
locality where that kind of wine
originated, immediately preceded or
followed by the name of the place the
wine was actually made. Thus
"Burgundy" is a wine made in the
Burgundy region of France, while
"Burgundy of California" is a wine
made here in the relatively rich style
most people associate with the
French product.
Wines with linked geographic
names like California Chablis,
California Rhine, California Chianti, California Sherry and California
Champagne are called "generic," as
are those sold under general
category descriptions such as "pink
table wine." (" Vin Rose" is simply a
translation of "pink wine" into
French.)

To the Editor:
Sorely needed in these times of proverbial
woe, is one voice clear and rational. Fiery
rhetoric and enthusiasm, while probably
sincere in its aims, and true to its cause, can
worsen matters when not used with delicacy.
While it is safe to say the majority of us
deplore the dismissal of teachers we find
stimulating and productive; it is not safe to
raise the emotional temperature without a
clear distance from its source.
The responsibility of the press, any press, it
seems to me, is to present newsworthy items
with rationality and lack of bias. Can you
claim that this was done in your review of the
tenure decision concerning Professor Kaufman? And to add insult to injury (perhaps
more grievous than you realize), your editorial
entitled "Effects of the Phantom Ph.D." was
flagrantly inflammatory: a terrible case of the
disease of yellow journalism. Your editorial
cartoon, ontopofthis, only adds morefuelto
an already disreputable fire.
This, obviously, was your purpose. Yet in
your sophomoric (if admirable) attempt to bring to the attention of the student body
Professor Kaufman's situation, you have disregarded basic human psychology. Attacks on
the admistration and their actions, will not
serve to change their decision; it will only
stiffen their resistance. Editorials, burning
with the indignation of ill-considered adjec-
tives and epithets, will not sway the minds of
those in control; it can only make them firmer
in thdr stance. Direct attack provokes direct
defense; the administration, with its almost
corporeal power, cannot appear to be weak in
the line of blithering fire.
' Your editorial and cartoon were reprehensible, chillingly childish, in the light of the importance of the decision concerning Professor
Kaufman. If there is a possibility of changing
the minds of those who pull the strings; then it
is our duty to defeat injustice (if we see it as
such) with complete rationality: with persuasion not fury. I call on the paper to think its
responsibilities carefully, and to use its power
with a steady, unemotional hand. I commend
your efforts on behalf of Professor Kaufman,
but I deplore your tactics. Before you set up
the barbed wire, before you dig the trenches,
before you bellow the fire, try stopping the
conflagration.

To the Editor:
The news of the latest tenure controversy in

the attitude of the present school administration is, even more than that of its predecessor,
one of complete disregard of the needs of the
undergraduate students, who are by far the

Its been brought to my attention that a lot of people out there are worried about dying. My
advice to these people is not to worry, that it will happen is guaranteed. And you shouldn't find
this discomforting. To the contrary, your deathisthemost important aspect of your life. Foritis

It would be very confusing if it were worked any other way. Suppose, as I've heard some
people wish, you could stay acertain age indefinitely. What age would it be? Twenty-three? Fine.
Now what would you do as your friends all grow older? Do you change peer groups every few
years as each group ages, or do you try to stay with your current friends as their bodies turn old
and grey? Its clear neither would work, youth is precious only when you know it won't be yours
for very long.
So, we age. Our agility decreases, our strength grows less and less, we turn fatter, and our
bodies start failing us. We sit more and more, and do less and less. And it's beautiful.
We all live off our pasts. There arc countless lessons of life, lessons our experiences combine to
teach us. As we grow older we learn more and more, and our minds surpass our bodies as our
chief asset. So our bodies wisely force us to use them less and our minds more.
Which is good, otherwise we'd have no excuse not to have to compete with youth, wastingour
time on physical tasks. Thankfully, aging provides the perfect excuse. This is why there are no 86
year old linebackers.
But what about senility? My God, what a humiliation it must be to have to re-ask questions
which were answered a few minutes ago, to forget things left and right. But wait, the senile person
isn't bothered by his senility, hell, he's just doing what comes naturally. And who the hell are wc
to assume, just because someone no longer agrees with us as to what is important, that they are
mentally inferior? When you're not thinking about one thing you're thinking about something
else. Perhaps senility is just the state where elderly minds have more important topics to
contemplate than remembering what movie little Jonny went to last night. They could be mind
tripping through the vast intelligence of the universe, no wonder they forgot to turnthe oven off.
And then comes death. Without it, time is unimportant; our days have no meaningif there will
be an unlimited number of them. And as for not knowing exactly when you'll be passing along,
well, that's just an incentive to live today to itsfulleat. Who knows what tomorrow has in store?
You sure don't.
Me, I'm not too worried about dying Its not like 1 have any control over it, and besides, look
at all the people before me who have worked out the bugs. All the greats of our civilization; the
Platos, the Lincolns, the Newtons, the Da Vincis, the Einsteins, have died. Who am I tothink that
I'm too good for it?
And none of those who've died havechosento come back to this life, none have even taken the
time to drop a postcard about it. Dead people must be plenty busy.
So where will you go upon death? Damned if I know. But I know I'm not all that hung up
about being heaven-bound.
First of all, hell just isn't as bad as people make it out to be, If you go to the trouble to look
around, you can find a nice apartment for $125 a month, $140 tops. And don't forget that the
landlord takes care of heat.
As for heaver., feh. Even if a clerical error did have me up there, I'd try to get out. White's not
my color, and so few of my friends would be there. With the entrance requirements so tough, the
only patrons in the heaven hotel would be priests, rabbis, ministers, nuns, and the like.

Many SUNYA students were victims of thefts which took place at the Wellington
Student Annex. To them, the incident is far from trivial. Someone else's negligence it
.responsible for their loss of personal property.
Acting on the advice of lawyers, concerned Wellington students sought aid from
SUNYA President Emmett B. Fields in the form of a letter. We can only commend
them for following a course of action that they felt would lead to a legal, equitable
settlement of their loss.
Director of Off-Campus Housing Joe Scaring was upset that the students went over
people's heads in writing the letter to Fields. But nobody stole Searing's television set.
Hotel Wellington General Manager Reuben Gersowitz dismissed the incident as
trivial and deemed the letter t o Fields unnecessary. But nobody left his door open so
that his home might be ransacked.
Scaring said that SUNYA is not responsible for the Wellington Student Annex and
will take no part in the proceedings. Scaring ignores the fact that these people are
SUNYA students by choice, and Wellington students only as a result of unfortunate
circumstance. The university put them there. Certainly the university can muster
support for them now.
Gersowitz claims that the Wellington is not responsible to SUNYA. Nevertheless,
' wc hope SUNYA will be responsible t o its students. Gersowitz doesn't think Fields'
involvement is necessary. We urge Fields to do everything in his power t o ensure that
the Wellington-Sl//V)71 students reach a reasonable settlement—one that satisfies
them, and at the same time is fair to the Wellington management.

Pipeline
Diplomacy
by Robert •artdl
This winter many Americans are shivering
in their cold living rooms, while the government in Washington deliberately delays granting permission to bring in natural gas from
Alaska where abundant reserves wait to be
tapped.
In order to solve America's chronic fuel
shortages, it is necessary to build a largediameter gas pipeline from the North Slope of
Alaska through the frozen bottoms of the
Mackenzie River Valley and Canada's
Western Plains all the way to our Midwest.
Eventually a big gauge oil pipeline, running
parallel to the gas pipeline, may also become
necessary. But for the time being the gas
pipeline would do and there is no
technological or financial problem about it.
The project has been throughtly studied and
financing is available from a consortium of
U.S. and Canadian energy companies—20 of
them. They have formed Alaskan Arctic Gas
Pipeline Co. and in March 1974—almost two
years ago — they applied for the necessary per-
il would take two years, give or take • few
months, to lay the big pipeline from bttuwd•wer* Prudhoe Bayto Chicago and Cleveland.
But then our dependence on expensive oil and
gas imports from foreign countries would be
over. There would be enough dean, nonpolluting natural gas to heat ail the hornet and
fuel all the industries at a reasonable price.
The companies involved in that project are not
asking the government for any subsidies, loan
guarantees or any other handouts to start
building their pipeline.
The reason is quite simple. The rich
Prudhoe Bay oil and gas fields have been
found to continue and expand downslope into
the bottom of the wide sunken valley
geologists call the Beaufort Basin—under the
shallow waters of the Beaufort Sea. The latest
estimates credit the Alaskan part of the
Beaufort Basin with 1.4 quadrillion cubic feet
of gas. That represents more than ISO years'
supply of this country's needs of natural gas at
the current rate of consumption.
The ultimate oil reserves in the huge structures under the Beaufort Sea are estimated to
run into the hundreds of millions of barrelsmatching those in the Middle East.
But there is a fly in the ointment. If this biggauge gas pipeline from Prudhoe Bay to
Chicago is built and this country gets the
natural gas available in the Beaufort Basin,
there will be no need to import gas from
Siberia. And Armand Hammer's big scheme
to develop the Yakutian gas reserves in
Eastern Siberia with your tax dollars is bound
to founder. Also, Soviet-American detente,
based on the Soviets' expectations tohavethis
country save: their sagging economy might
also collapse.
Such an outcome is unacceptable to the
powers that be in Washington. So the whole
project is in deep freeze, you might say. The
gas we desperately need for heating will remain buried in the Far North, while hapless
Americans shiver in their unheated homes.
I Have a Cream
by Steven P a r n e t i
There are many of you out there reading this who have come to the conclusion that the
practice of slavery has long ago withered away. Well, you are wrong. Right here, within this great
nation of ours, there is still one group sustained in bondage; one group who must follow the every
whim of their heartless masters. Yes, Ring Dingsevery where are helpless captives, and I am truly
outraged.
Unfortunately, no one knows how this practice began, but what is known is that the Drake's
Company, the biggest and most brutal slave traders of pastries anywhere, force harmless cakes
down onto a sheet of thick cardboard against their will. Quickly and without warning, a wrapper
of cellophane envelopes our unfortunate friends, so tightly that even some housewives have
trouble removing it. Fearing what will ultimately happen to them, some Ring Dings just fall
apart or melt away, long before they ever reach their destination.
Those that are bold struggle along, as they are placed in cartons, dozens at a time. Wordlessly,
they watch the last rays of light being closed off from them. Across state lines they travel.
huddled together for the last time in the back of huge trucks. Finally they reach their destination,
where the Ring Ding faces the humiliation of being placed on a stand for all to see.
Yet, I have not told the worst part of their story; for the pastries who And themselves most
oppressed are the smallest, the youngest Ring Dings. The little fellers, who, for some unknown
reason are not allowed to mature to full size, are nevertheless subjected to the same treatment.
The Drake's people, simply to economize, ruthlessly force twelve of these 'Juniors' (as they are so
fondly referred to),into aluminum straight jackets, then jam them into a box where only three
could be comfortable.
What is amazing about this whole process, is that the Ring Dings themselves, show little, if
any, resistance. Others must take up the struggle for their emancipation, and to date those that
have, have had little success.
With great determination, I petitioned the Drake's Company for their liberty. Mr. Legree, a
representative of Drake's, simply tried to appease me.
"I honestly don't know what you want. Why are you so radical? This is the system, and we
simply work under it. Besides, what would a Ring Ding do if it were free? What could it do?
They're so round and thick, why I doubt they have any brains at all. I'm sure those brown ones
can't come to any use, no how. And besides." he added, "our children love them.
With that remark, 1 could no longer debate, for the truth of the matter is that American
children do desire these poor devils food cukes, and rant and rave until their parents are forced to
become a party to this injustice. For a mere quarter, they arc bought, then brought into our finest
homes. Here they are refrigerated, sometimes for weeks, then harshly gobbled up, and their
remains disposed of.
Each day thousands of Ring Dings confront the end of the road, just as many others begin on
theirs, routinely being led to destruction. For now, they can only hope, and pray, that freedom
will one day shine through their ever-present darkness. Ring Dings everywhere hope for their
savior. They are waiting for Martin Luther Ring Ding.

Albany-Siena: History Of A Great Rivalry
Security May Get Police Status; Crime Continues
Thrillers, Brawls Spice Annual Clash

by Nathan Salant

Albany State and Siena.
Almost anything can happen, and
probably already has in the 34
previous meetings between the
capital district rivals.
1957: The rivalry resumed after a
nine year pause. Siena comes out on
top, 75—66, and the first "incident"
occurs when Siena fans respond to a
technical foul by liberally sprinkling
the court with wet toilet paper.
Albany is laughed off the court to the
chant of "Beat Albany High".
1958: Albany beats "St. Rose" for
the first time, 62—46. (St. Rose: a
local parochial school; Albany High:
the local public school, reflecting on
the fact that Albany was a teachers'
college in those days.)
1962: The first thriller. Jim

Aquamen collected their first victory since December with an impressive win over Union by the score
of 6 4 - 4 1 .
The Danes j umped off to an early,
and what proved to be an invincible
lead, by sweeping the opening event,
the 400 yard Medley Relay, and the
•even points that went with it.
Albany then proceeded to capture
first place in six out of the next seven
events, including a double-win by
Steve Bookbinder in the. 1000 yard
freestyle, and the 200 yard butterfly.
"Steve Bookbinder's double-win included his seasonal best in the 1000
yard freestyle," said Coach Ron'
White. "It was very solid swimming,
which, along with a number of personal best times, such as Fred
Zimmerman in the 200 yard individual medley, propelled us to the
victory."
All told, Albany won eight of thirteen races. The Danes started off
very hot, capturing seven of their
first eight events.
The victory raises the Aquamen's
win-loss record to 2—4, and drops
Union to an 0—3 mark.

first two overtimes were scoreless.
During halftime, both contingents
of fans marched around the
Washington Armory (the site of
most of the early meetings between
the two schools). Siena's fans carried
a sign which read " What t he fuck is a
Ped".
1963: Siena swept both games,
60—52 and 52-44.
1965: Ed Marakawitz's jumper
with five seconds to play gives Siena
a 50—48 lead, and a win when the
fans swarm onto the court and
prevented an Albany time-out and
resumption of play.
In the rematch that year, the teams
combined to commit 55 personal
fouls (31 in the first half) and two
technicals. Mike Bloom's two free
throws with four seconds remaining
won that one for Albany, 73—71.
The other hero was five-loot teninch Mark Constantine who played
forward and scored 17 points.
1966: The year of the "Three
Stooges", as subs Tom Doody,
Mark O'Donnell, and Tim Jursak
see their first varsity action after
three of Albany's starters foul out
with three minutes to play, and
Albany trailing by 13points. Doody,
O'Donnell, and Jursak combined for
15 points and Albany pulled off the
greatest win of Doc Sauers' career, at
Siena.
All so fitting, as State fans were infuriated by an admission fee for the
first time. Albany retaliated by forcing the Indians to rent the Danes'
scoreboard (Siena's was out of action) for 1100.
1971: Doc Sauers' 250th career
win comes against Siena, 85—70. A
brawl between the fans interrupted
play for 23 minutes.
1972: The fans were at their worst,
as a brawl exploded all over the Armory and the game was ended with
1:23 showing on the clock, and
Albany ahead, 83—71.
In the Capital District rematch
that year, the Danes pull off a major
upset, beating the undefeated Indians onthe hot hands of John Quattrocchi (25 points) and Reggie Smith
(23).
1973: 6,500 fans set the crowd
record at the Armory in the famous
offensive foul game (Albany's Dave
Welchons was called for charging
with the score 76—75, and his basket
on the driving layup was disallowed)
in which Albany overcame a 17 point
deficit only to fall short.
1974: The Danes left the court
trailing 47—40 at the half tothejeers
of Siena's 400 fans ("check that
score"), but Byron Miller and the
rest made the Indians eat their words
in an unreal 84—83 comebacker.
Miller's winner came with 14
seconds to play; Siena's Steve
Walters missed a fifteen-footer, and
Pete Koola stole the inbounds pass
to lock it up.
Last year Siena won handily after
an even first half.
One thing is certain. Tomorrow
night, the action will be fast and
furious, both on and off the court.
Junior guard Mike Suprunowicz
leads the Danes in scoring (13.8)
followed by forward Bob Audi (12),
Vic Cesare (11.4), and Kevin Keane
(8). If the Danes have an inherent
weakness it is the need for a solid
ballhandler to replace Trevett—
possibly freshman Winston Royal.
The Indians are led by six-foot
five-inch forward Steve Walters who
averages more than 20 points a
game. He and forward Gary Holle
(six-foot six inches) both scored 35
points against Canisius Tuesday, but
the Indians blew a ten point lead and
lost. Steve Raczynski (six-feet eightinches) is the Indians' center, and the
guards arc veterans Tim Welchons
and Wayne Meyer.
Two Keys To Victory
Albany coach Doctor Richard
Sauers sees two keys to a Dane victory: controlling Siena's forwards,
particularly Walters; and keeping
Cavanaugh out of foul trouble.
"The center situation is of great
importance from our side of the picture," said Sauers. "I rate Raczynski
and Cavanaugh even, so foul trouble
becomes a major factor. If Raczynski were to foul out we'd have a
great advantage, and the reverse
would be the case without
Cavanaugh."
The Danes have one major advantage, according to Sauers: the home
court.
"You know what the home court
means in this kind of game, where
you can throw out records and talent
in favor of emotion," Sauers continued. "There is no question about
their being the better club. I'll admit
that any time."
Siena's coach Bill Kirsch echoed
Sauers' comments.
"The rivalry is a great one, and
friendly, I hope," said Kirsch. "Right

Campus Security officers may
soon be granted full police status if a'
proposal made by the SUNY Board
of Trustees is passed by the State
Legislature.
The proposal was drafted by the
Board's Campus Security Task
Force in response to complaints
made by security officers at various
SUNY schools. Presently, Campus
Security personnel are classified as
peace officers, a status the officers
say is a hinderance to their proper
functioning.
Security officers at SUNY schools
are provided for under the State
Education Law. The proposed
legislation would grant "police officer" status under the Criminal
Procedure Law.
Past problems in criminal
prosecutions have prompted the
Board of Trustees to propose the
change. Although courts and other
police agencies have questioned the
legal authority of the Education
Law, SUNY delayed action on the
issue. Administrative Aide Russ
Gugino said, "We just felt we didn't
have to do that."
Questions have been raised about
how the change would be visible on
SUNY campuses. SUNYA Assistant
Director of Security John Henighan
shrugged the proposal off, saying,
"As far as our day-to-day affairs on
this campus, it won't make much
difference." He feels that the need for
the change comes as a result of the
uncertain status of campus police.
Although court challenges have
occurred, Henighan says there have
been no problems here, due to good
rapport between individuals within
different agencies. But he says, "That
attitude could change at any time."
SASU President Bob Kirkpatrick,
a non-voting member of the Board
of Trustees, has voiced his opposi-

creates many complications which
do not exist under the Education
Law." He fears the change in status
could change the self-perception of
Campus Security officers.

English Faculty SHU Fighting Cuts
Students Take Action On Bus Service Gripes
by Ed Moser
Alumni Quad students arc
prepared to statistically rate the bus
runs, in order to provide hard data
for gripes concerning the recent
slowdown in service.
At a Thursday meeting of some
sixty Alumni residents, it was decided to observe and rate service at
selected spots for two consecutive
days. Breaking up the bus schedule
day into sixteen one hour periods,
groups of volunteers will look for
such things as how close the actual
bus runs jive with the published
schedule, and the number of people
which overcrowded buses leave
behind.
"The bus drivers already make out
their own forms," said the meeting's
chairperson, Bryant Monroe.
"Frank Kopf [the Director of the
Physical Plant] swears by them. But
1 don't believe him."
SA President Andy Bauman said
he was impressed with the way President Fields had handled the situation. Bauman had met with Fields,

report that this is a conservative extimate.
The monthly activity report issued
by the University Police reveals 948
criminal cases were reported at
SUNYA in 1975. .
The monthly report divides
offens'-s into three major categories.
They arc offenses against the person,
offenses against property, and miscellaneous offenses.

whom he said at first "didn't have
much of an idea that anything at all
was wrong." Bauman said he had
"warned Fields of the possibly embarrassing situation" which bad service might result in.
According to Bauman, Fields instructed Dean of Student Affairs
Neil Brown to have his people clock
the bus rides. "This started yesterday. The service got incredibly good,
you may have noticed . . . Fields got
down hard on Kopf," said the SA
President.
Despite the improvement,
problems apparently remained. One
bus rider said that even though the
driver of her bus had received orders
to leave ahead of schedule, because a
fire along the route had caused
delays, the driver had refused to
leave. Others told of waiting for an
overdue bus only to have a group of
seven buses arrive. And Monroe was

service: "I don't know what it's going
to be like next year, with the budget

of about a half dozen junior
members.
Although Schmidt did allow interested faculty besides those who
signed the letter to attend the
meeting, she refused to let the
Albany Student Press cover it. She
said that the conference was "a
private faculty fathering" and that
"the press had no business being
there." A reporter who attempted to
sit in on the meeting was asked to
leave.
"Well, that concurs with her attitude about the press and publicity
in general," said one professor. According to him, Schmidt told involved faculty members, "I am upset
that you put your grievances before
the community by submitting that
letter," explainingthat shefeels these
arc in-house matters to be discussed
by the administration and faculty
exclusively.
Events of the meeting were recorded by several faculty members. The
following is their account of what
took place, as told to the ASP.
Schmidt maintained trial the letter
"appalled" her because it "cut the
ground oul from President Fields'
attempt lo strengthen the English
department."
"I could understand junior faculty
members signing that letter,"
Schmidt added, "but I thought those
senior faculty members had more
sense."
"She's slapping our wrists; telling
us not to do it again," said one junior
member. "She asks us why we don't
come to her with our complaints. We
simply aren't taken seriously.
