Danes Split Vacation Pair

Cutbacks Near Final Stages; Tension Mounts
Fall to Hartwick, Upset Hamilton, 91-83;
Cavanaugh Scores 36 in Season Finale
by Mike PltkinU
While meat of the university popualtton was enjoying its recent vacation, the Albany State varsity
basketball team was fighting for its
life. Tangling with powerhouses
Hartwick (ranked number one in
Division 11-111) and Hamilton
(winner of the ECAC Division III
tournament last week) at University
Oym, the Great Danes were,
amazingly, able to salvage a split.
Defeated by Hartwick 70-68 on
February 27, the Danes rebounded
to upset a heavily-favored Hamilton
squad by a 91 —83 margin t he following Tuesday. That victory closed out
their seasonal record at 12—11 and
kept Coach Richard Sauers' streak
of never having a losing season here
intact at 21 consecutive years.
Albany finished third in the SUNY
Conference which was won by
Plattsburgh.
In the Hartwick affair, the hosts
led early but trailed for most of the
game. With the Warriors employing
an aggressive 1—3—1 zone which,
according to Sauers, was "tough for
our small guards," the Danes were
having their problems.
"They [Hartwick] had three guys
at 6'5", 6'6", and 6'7" as a starting
front line and we had to work hard to
get off a good shot," explained the
coach.
Surprisingly, the Danes more than
held their own off the b o a r d s thanks mainlyto a hard-working Vic
Cesare who snagged a game-high
total of 12 rebounds.
The Danes led 24—20 late in the
first half, but were outscored 12—2
in the remaining minutes and trailed
32—26 at intermission. Most of the
damage was done by speedy Dana
Gahres and center Bill "StretchMartin—a reported pro prospect.
The Warriors increased their lead
as the second half opened, but the
Danes kept fighting back. With
Albany center Barry Cavanaugh in
foul trouble, Sauers moved Kevin
Keane to the pivot and he responded
with a fine performance. "He really
asserted himself out there," said
Sauers.
With seven minutes left in the
game, Hartwick led 57—46 and held
an eight-point advantage at the 4:43
mark. Winston Royal then found the
range and popped in a few quick
buckets to bring the hosts back to
life.
Albany closed to within two but could not get the knotter. Their beat
chance came with less than a minute
remaining. Trailing 68—66, the
Danes had gained control of the ball
as Royal brought it upcourt. Near
the foul line, he tried to split the
defense, but had the ball deflected
away. Hartwick's Ralph Pugliese
was then fouled and his two free
throws put the game on ice. Keane's
bucket at the buzzer was academic.
"It was the right play," Sauers said
of Royal's last-minute turnover.
"Had he kept his balance, I think he
could havefound Audi underneath."
Royal, however, was Albany's top
p o i n t - g e t t e r with 14, while
Cavanaugh garnered 12 and Keane,
10. Gahres and Martin shared top
honors with 19 apiece.
As for the Hamilton contest, the
story, in a nutshell, was Barry
Cavanugh. The freshman pivotman

record for an Albany varsity player.
Hitting on an incredible 16 of 20 field
goal attempts, the big man was simply unstoppable.
Both teams came out shooting and
the lead see-sawed quite a few times.
But the last time the Danes trailed
was at 35—34 before they scored 17
of the next 27 to take a 51—45 halftime lead.
Cavanaugh's 18 led all scorers at
this point while Suprunowicz and
Cesare added nine each to the Dane
cause.
The second half saw the
emergence of the Tigers' Ernie
Mucitelli, a sleeper in the first hall.
"Moose", as he is called, scored l2of
his 14 points in the second half and
teamed up with Cedric Olivertogive
the Danes quite a scare down the
home stretch.
Midway through the half, Albany
led 71—59. But suddenly, the Tigers
began to claw their way back before
tying the score at 77 with three and a
half
minutes
remaining.

Contrary to popular belief, the
varsity soccer season did not end in
December with a 4—3 NCAA Tournament loss to Binghamton, but
continues through the winter
months via a number of indoortournaments, including the Albany Invitational, scheduled for Saturday
(6.30 pm—10:30 pm) and Sunday,
March 13 and 14 (this weekend), at
the University Gym.
Albany will enter two squads
(team field seven players as opposed
to the ll-player units outdoors)
against some of the finest schools in
the country, including: Cornell,
Hartwick, and Oneonta (Each of
whom participated in the NCAA
Division I Tournament); Adelphi

"We competed against top-flight
schools and held our own quite
well," said Dr. Edith Cobane, the
varsity Women's gymnastics coach,
regarding the team's 12-win-7 loss
season record.
The Danettes completed their
schedule in late February, losing a
pair in a triangular meet, 72.60
points, to Canisus (101,20 points)
and Ithaca (78.S0 points) colleges
and splitting their final meet with
72.00 points to Rhode Island's 72.75
and Westfield's 71.IS point totals.
The team never ceased to show improvement.
"The Westficld meet marks our
highest total," 'said Cobane, "with
.scoring like that (72.00 points), no
one can complain. It was a beautiful
meet with equal teams competing."
The New York State Tournament
on March 6th was the zenith of the
season, consisting of competition
between the ten New York State
schools of Canisus, Cortland,
Brooklyn, Ithaca, Brockport,
Albany, Cornell, Hofstra, Queens
and New Paltz. (Listed in order of
final rankings.)
Placing 6th in the final ladder,
Albany scored it's highest total of
75.10 points to wrap up the season
with a grand finale.
Outstanding performances were
executed by Carla Landsman, first
among Albany's entries on the beam

(23rd) events. Julie Acion captured

(Div. Ill Tournament); RPI, and a
team to be named today.
Last year, Hartwick and Oneonta
were the finalists, with Hartwick
overcoming a 2—0 Oneonta lead to
win, 3—2.
"We expect to do very well in this
one," said Albany varsity soccer
coach Bill Schieffelin. "The competition will be the finest we've ever had
at this school in the way of indoor or
outdoor opponents, but based on
our strong showings in other indoor
tourneys so far, we have to rate with
the best teams."
Indeed, Schieffelin's commentary
is easily supported. Albany has par-
ticipated in five indoor tournaments
to date; their worst showing was a
semi-final loss to LIU, 1—0 in the
Southampton Tournament.
The indoor season began at St.
Lawrence, where the Booters easily
won the tournament, beating Conference foe Plattsburgh in the
process, Next came the Hartwick
Tournament, with Albany pitted
against such Division 1 foes as
Philadelphia Textile, Pcnn State,
Sourthern Conn., East Stroudsburg,
and Cornell.
Albany lost that one in the finals,
battling Hartwick for 17 and one
half minutes of overtime before falling to the left foot of Hartwick's
Howie Schan', 2—1.

SUNYA President Emmett B.
Fields has accepted his Task Force's
recommendations "intheir entirety,"
and has forwarded his report to
SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyerand
the Board of Trustees. Both are expected to approve the report.
The termination of seven doctoral
programs, five master's programs,
eight bachelor's programs and
various administrative functions will
cut $1,343,200 from the SUNYA
budget.
This figure matches the figure in
Governor Hugh L. Carey's Executive Budget.
Last night the legislature released
its biMgct, cutting an additional
$44,200 from SUNYA. $33,700 of
that was in foreign student advisement and $10,500 in public relations
activity. TAP will not be cut.
Dean of Student Affairs Neil
Brown, when contacted at home said
he suspected that the foreign advisement cut includes the director of the
International Student Office. The
director's secretary, and the director
of Saylcs Hall.
He pointed out that the resident
director of Sayles Hall is not an advisor as the Legislature probably
thought— it is on the same budget
line with the ISO by fluke.
David Van Dyck, Director of
Community Relations said the cut in
public relations activity could affect
catalogues or brochures created in
his office, or possibly equipment.
The legislature's budget cut public
relations throughout the state
bureaucracy. Foreign student advisement was cut on each campus
where a program existed for them,
and many SUNY schools had utility
funds cut because it was felt they
were not efficient enough..
Fields' cuts, based on Carey's
original budget, arc the same as the
Task Force's: doctoral programs in
C l a s s i c , French, Romance
Languages, andfourinthc School of
Education (the original six were consolidated into two); master's
programs in Art History, Comparative Literature. Italian, LatinAmerican Studies, and Speech
Pathology and Audiology; and
bachelor's programs in Art History,
Astronomy,
Comparitivc
Literature, Environmental Studies,
Intel-American Studies, Italian,
Nursiiig and Speech Pathology and
Audiology.
Some courses in these undergraduate ureas will be continued,
however, for non-majors.
Fields' reallocation of resources
away from the Humanities last
semester has been delayed by the
new budgetary situation. Those
reallocations were to have added
faculty to the schools of Education,
Criminal Justice, Business, Public
Affairs, Social Welfare and the division of Social and Behavioral
Sciences.
While Public Affairs will gain two
positions next year, Education will
lose five, and the other beneficiaries
will have a net change of zero.
Humanities, which was to lose nine
positions under the reallocation
SA Teach-in
plan, will now lose 12 in the first,
year.
Fields followed recommendations
to elimiate the Office of Undergraduate Studies and the
Vocational and Veteran's Counseling Center. Their responsibilities will
be redistributed.
Student Affairs was cut by 12.5
positions, over a third of which will
come out of the Student Health Service.
Fields said in the report that the
university offers "more programs
than can be sustained with available
resources. We must now give up
some for the sake of others."
Fields pointed out that the current
number of majors in the terminated
programs is about 750, or slightly
less than five percent of the campus
total.
To insure that any retrenched
faculty would have at least a year's
notice, the cuts will not be fully put About 200 people attended yesterday* teach-in, designed aa a

Student Association held a
sparsely-attended rally in front of
the Campus Center Monday morning, followed by an all day teach-in
that featured speakers both supportive and critical of the Presidential
Task Force's recommendations.
About 30 people participated in
the 10 a.m. rally, led by Central
Council Chairperson David Coyne.
Cries of "Defend our education"
and "They say cut back, we say fight
back" could be heard as the group
marched around the podium. They
then proceded to LC-23 for the
teach-in, where speakers presented
their perspectives on how the Task
Force made its recommendation,
how the entire SUNY system is
affected and what can be done by
students and the community to oppose the budget cuts.
About 200 people attended the
teach-in, at which key issues discussed were: the return to traditionallyoriented programs at the expense of
innovative ones, the limited time the
Task Force was given to makea decision (one month), grievances about
the lack of student and minority

Board Of Trustees Sues Nyquist
by Paul Rosenthal
The SUNY Board of Trustees is
awaiting a response from the State
Education Department in a lawsuit
challenging the Department's right
to discontinue SUN YA's history and
English doctoral programs.
An SED spokesman said a
response to the suit would be
forthcoming by the end of the
month, He said Education Commissioner Ewald B. Nyquist "has the
right to control what courses arc
registered" at SUNY institutions.
The legal action is the first one
ever to question the extent of SED
jurisdiction over the SUNY system.
SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boycr
said of the case, "State and federal
agencies can and should coordinate
planning and monitor programs.
They cannot and should not run the
institution."
SUNY officials say the action is
based in part on 1961 legislation
which removed the State University
from direct control of the Hoard of
Regents.
SUNYA Vice President for
Academic Affairs Phillip Sirotkin
said that, although the SUNYA administration is not directly involved
in the suit, it is "supportive" of the
Board of Trustees' action. He said
Nyquist "has made the decision unilaterally," without consideration of
SUNY*s own jurisdiction.
Boycr said SUNY iully accepts its
responsibilities to the Regents and to
the State Legislature, but explained
that "This process had never been
challenged." He believes that Nyquist's decision to close down the
t wo doctoral programs had confused
the relationships in New York's
higher education governance.
SED officials say Nyquist was acting completely within the law in his
decision. "This is one of our
regulatory functions over all education in the state," said a spokesperson. He said the Department does
not oversee the day-to-day running
of SUNY, but rather the "broad
policy decisions."
"Mission" Considered
The Board of Trustees authorized
the legal action partly in response to
a report received from SUNYA
President Emmett Fields. The report
said that the history and English
doctoral programs were central to
the "mission" of the University.
Boycr feels that Nyquist's decision
was particularly objectionable at this
time. "Now that we face constraints
Demonstration Today
Thousands of students and S U N Y
employees from all over the state arc
expected to rally in front of the
Capitol this afternoon to protest the
$51 million in cuts that have been

government officials.
SUNYA students planned to meet
in front of the Campus Center this

Washington Avenue to join other
protesters in the 2 p.m. rally downtown.
Express buses from the circle will
be provided for those who do not
march, but wish to attend tht
demonstration. Student Association
says that it has allocated funds for
buses to run every ten minutes, starting at I p.m. and ending at 6:30 p.m.
In addition to Stale University

authority be maintained."
A hearing of the lawsuit may not
occur for some time, but a decision
will most probably have long-lasting
effects on the govcrnencc of the State
University.

State Forces To Join Hands At Capitol Protest Today
School Records Stir Controversy
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) The Mate
Education Department and the Con•umcr Protection Board are embroiled in a freedom-of-information
fight over access to records of private
vocational schools in the state.
The board, which is probing
"possible fraudulent and deceptive
practices" among some of the state's
390'vocational schools, filed suit
Thursday against the department in
an attempt to force it to hand over
the information.
But the Education Department
responded that it had already given
the board 9,000 documents, and
argued that releasing further information would constitute invasion of
privacy.
Dedsion Soon
A decision in the case, filed in
Albany County Supreme Court,
could come as early as April 9.
The Education Department certifies vocational schools in the state,
including firms which offer correspondence courses and institutions
offering classes in truck-driving,
electronics repair and secretarial
work.
Rosemary Pooler,, executive
director of the Consumer Protection
Board, said that whilethe Education
department hat provided tome information, it hat denied access to
document! which show the disposition of complaints, the schools'
drop-out and placement rates, and
reports of field supervisors' inspections of the schools.
"These are the very questions
prospective students want to know
the answers to," said Ms. Pooler,
who is seeking information on the SO
largest vocational schools.
The department said it had released all copies of letters dealing with
licensing and containing final
reports of investigations into complaints. But a spokesman said the
agency had refused release of information dealing with enrollments,
drop-out rates and financial information on grounds of invasion of
privacy.
In all, the spokesman said, the
department had turned over 9,000
documents. And in a statement later
in the day. Education Commissioner
Ewald Nyquist said he was

do this, lines will be borrowed next
year from departments having
vacancies from attrition, who were
not earmarked for elimination or
permanent cuts. Those positions
would be returned the following
year.
Some savings will be made by cutting $40,000 from the temporary services. The Task Force suggested that
some academic lines be saved by using temporary service funds. As a
result, those funds will be severely
hard-presed. Another $40,000 will
be saved by hiring lower-salaried
staff than originally planned for
some positions.
ALBANY, N.Y.. (AP) The indicted Assembly majority leader told a
suipeiufrfilled chamber packed with his fellow lawmakers Monday that he
will not resign, but will fight the influence peddling charges against him. "I
believe that my life is at stake," Albert Blumenthal, D-Manhattan, said. "I
will stay and make myfight." A nearly unanimous standing ovation followed
his emotional speech. Blumenthal, for years the leader of the liberal
Democrats in Albany and one of the most respected members of the
legislature, is accused of taking a bribe from nursing home ciar Bernard
Bergman.
Ramsey Clark Announces Senate Candidacy
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) Lanky ex-Texan Ramsey Clark became the third
Democrat to declare his candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat held by
Republican-Conservative James Buckley, attackingthe incumbent Monday
as "anti-consumer, anti-poor and anti-labor." "We have to renounce the
economic royalism that has been the single character of James Buckley's
tenure as a U.S. senator, the former U.S. attorney general said at an Albany
news conference. Clark joins two other announced candidates for the
Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, Assemblyman Andrew Stein of
Manhattan and Brooklyn parking-garage magnate Abraham Hirschfeld.

In only a few weeks,"Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" has collected
a considerably large following. In
some cities, where it is aired at 11
p.m.. it is even outratingthe network
news shows. What lies bchindthcintensc popularity of this show?
While many people admit theyare
addicted to the show because of its
serial nature, almost all the comments from SUNYA students have
been in the superlative. Laura
(iucrino believes that "people either
love-it or hale it."
One senior says. "It makes a lot of
good points and is extremely funny.
.. I think it's the best thing Norman
Lear has done." Another avid "Mary
Hartman . . ." viewer describes the
show as "one big commercial."
Mary Hartman, played by Louise
l.asser. is in effect, a housewife who
has incorporated into her life all she
has learned on commercial television. For example, she screams to
her si.ster's deaf-mute boyfriend.
"Do you like the cake, Steve? It's
Duncan Heinz!" When confronted
by her mother's curiousity of her
marital problems. Mary diverts the
conversation to the importance of
sanitizing one's toilet. Mary's concern with products coincidental!)'
resembles the "cleanliness obsession" of the housewives of popular
commercials.
Numerous people found the first
few shows of "Mary Hartman. Mary
Hartman" an enigma. Norman Lear
states in Railing Slone magazine
that, "After all, watching this show
can be something like a Rorschach
Test and—well, if the person
watching you merely stares blankly,
nodding in grave agreement, while
slapstick, mass murder, venereal disease and general mayhem appear on
the screen, you might just have
legitimate cause to worry,"
One of the reasons that viewers
"stared blankly" at the screen the
first few shows may be due to the
lack of a laugh track. One viewer
says that, he couldn't quite understand what the show was about when
he first viewed it. The humor was so
subtle, people didn't know how to
react.
However, the show's absurdity
and outrageousness has confirmed
its .humorous intent fo those who
waited to find out. Others who didn't
catch its meaning, turnedit off, commenting that it was "sick."
Many students interviewed agree
that the show is much funnier when
viewed in the Campus Center than it
is at home. The group laughter seems
to produce the same effect as a laugh
track. In addition, they feel theshow
• has "definitely improved since the
first few shows." One new aspect is
the use of organ music at the end of
certain dramatic points.
While Mary Hartman appeared to
be an "intolerably stupid housewife"
in the first few episodes, regular
viewers can see the intricacies of her
personality that make the show so
appealing.
Laura Guerino says,"Mary Hartman hears horrible things and
doesn't care, while she over reacts to
trivial household problems sueh as
the waxy yellow buildup on her
floor,"
Michele Harkan, a senior, believes
Mary Hartman is the stereotype of
the "typical American housewife."
She says "Lear appeals to a certain
brand of people."
So the absurdity will continue.
Mary Hartman's neighbor Lcroy
will drown in chicken soup. Lorctta
and Charley's car will be hit by a car
full of nuns. And Mary, her husband
and his lover will all fear they have

Most of all, SUNYA students will

made a"priority" request to the local
CIA chief, for six bottles of
Gatorade. One CIA employee was
immediately relieved of his ordinary
duties and assigned to meet the
golfer's needs.
The report said a "medium sized
station" purchased over $86,000 in
liquor and cigarettes during the past
five years. The purchases were
designated "operational gifts" for
friendly agents or officials "in return
for information and assistance."
The committee was unable to
determine the reason for certain
high-cost items being purchased in
secret for many overseas stations.
The committee said hundreds of
refrigerators, televisions, cameras
and watches arc purchased each year
along with a variety of home furnishings.
"The question is why an American
television would be purchased here
and sent to Europe if someone was
trying to conceal his involvement
with the United States," the committee said. "Power requirements
abroad are different, and a
transformer has to be installed on an
appliance b lught in the U.S. before
it will work."
The committee report said taxpayer monies were spent to provide
heads of state with female companions and to pay people with
questionable reputations to make
pornographic movies for blackmail.

The New Orleans Mardi Gras is a
"drunken Halloween," "A great
place to see in mid-winter, a lot of
girls with very little clothes on," and
"a good excuse to go mental." Thus
the capsule comments of some of the
SUNYAites who caught the wild
carnival prior to its end on March 3,
Ash Wednesday.
Mardi Gras means parades. Social
clubs called Krewes enter floats in
the vast processions, with costumed
club members sitting on them and
throwing necklaces and 'doubloons'
out to the watching crowds.
"People go crazy to get these little
pieces of tin," says Ed O'Neall, one
observer from Albany. SUNYA's
Lenny Goldman gives an example:
"I put my foot onto one of the
doubloons [tossed out]. A big fat old
lady came over and started
wrenching my leg, screaming'I want

Fiscal Scalpel Slices SUNY
by Gavin Murphy
The fiscal scalpel has cut widely,
deeply, and in some cases
haphazardly into the 1976 state
budget, according to a SASU
analysis of this year's state budget.
These cuts have mandated reductions in expenditures for almost all
state departments or agencies and
according to the 1976 Executive
Budget Analysis prepared by Joel
Packer, a SASU legislative director,
"SUNY was given by far the largest
cut" ($51.8 million).
Governor Carey has said that the
state faces its greatest crisis since the
Great Depression, and it is apparent
that public higher education will suffer as a consequence.
SUNY A faces an overall budget
reduction of $1,369,500 and the loss
of 118 full-time teaching positions.
State University scholarships will
be reduced by $2 million and all
graduate student scholarships
eliminated.
Programs for the educationally
and economically disadvantaged
(SEEK, EOP) will be reduced by
$3.6 million.
The Governor has called for an increase in tuition, which according to
the SASU analysis already "ranks
high among public universities in the
U.S.," being the sixth most expensive in the country.
The number of students enrolling
in SUNY schools has increased
steadily over the past decade yet the
1976-77 budget calls for enrollment
reductions.
. Despite proposed reductions in
students, the faculty-student ratio is
shown in the analysis to increase in
1976-77 to 16.6students per instructor. The analysis also shows an 84.6
per cent increase in the average
faculty salary over the last ten years.
At Albany the following entire
programs have been recommended
for elimination: Comparative and
World Lit. (undergraduate and
graduate), Art History (graduate),
Italian ( u n d e r g r a d u a t e and
graduate), Romance Languages
(graduate), Environmental Studies,
Inter-American
Studies
(undergraduate), Latin American
Studies ( g r a d u a t e ) , Nursing
(undergraduate).
t
According to Packer, the
recommendations "will go to the
legislature and they can increase the
proposed budget or decrease it," or
they can jilt approve it as it is.
He trunks that, "in general they
won't add any more money."
Even if the legislature did appropriate more money it is likely the
Governor would veto it in his determination to balance the state budget.

These kind of sights would often
contrast with more quaint ones.
Next to a whorehouse would be a
great Dixieland jazz band, while
next to a whore trying to make a
pick-up, would be a gray-haired Bojangles tapdancing and getting
thrown nickels and pennies for his
trouble.
A lot of the action revolved
around the balconies of buildings
overlooking the parade streets. According to Mike Burley, people on
the balconies would use trinkets like
beads or necklaces as incentives to
bait those on the street into doing
certain things.
"They'd yell, 'Take yourshirtoff!'"
to a girl below, and when she did,
down came the necklace reward. Exhibitionists of a more theatrical bent
would slowly undress on the
balconies themselves, to the pleas
and hoots of the audience below.
A good deal of this fun is expensive, for the Mardi Gras is a great
tourist trap. Bar prices arc outrageous, and, says SUNYA's Tim
Smith, a half-hour stint i n a massage
parlor costs $25.

Tax dollars are sometimes spent
by the U.S. intelligence community
to satisfy the whims of foreign officials or to provide heads of state
with liquor and female companions,
the House Intelligence Committee
has charged.
Shortcomings in audit and cost
control procedures lead to the spending abuses, the committee said.
The House of Representatives Intelligence Committee report on the
Central Intelligence Agency was
published this week in "The New
Citizen," a Schenectady weekly, with
the permission of The Village yoke,
a New York City weekly that
published the report in full last
month.
Representative Otis Pike, D-N. Y.,
chairman of the committee, said
Monday the report does not jeopardize the national security "one iota"
but did say the report will embarrass
some intelligence department officials.
The committee report—as
reprinted in "The New Citizen"—
said oncforcign official described his
son's enthusiasm for model airplanes
to the chief of a Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA) station. The foreign
official wanted three model plane
kits and even advised the CIA where
to buy them in America. A cable was
sent to the states by the CIA requesting the purchase.
In another instance, the president
of an allied nation was preparing to

Spending abuses occurred, the
committee said, because there was
an absence of involvement by outsiders in intelligence spending which
now totals at least $10 billion, three
to four times more than Congress
has been told. Congressional and
Executive scrutiny of intelligence
budgets "range somewhere between
cursory and nonexistent."
"Executive officials do not stress
the lack of a centralized budget
authority in the intelligence services,
which causes enormous waste,
duplication and hidden costs in
military intelligence. There is little
consideration given to the extraordinary spending latitude granted to
CIA, or to the CIA's heavy use of
'unvouchcred' funds. There is no explanation from FBI of the reasons
for millions of dollars of 'confidential' purchases.
"All this adds up to more than $10

Transfers said that adjustment to
social fife at SUNYA was not difficult. Lynn Maxson, from
Mansfidd College in Pennsylvania
said, 'Coming from a small school,
this place is like a country dub." She
said, "There is more entertainment
than we ever had."
Many complained that there was
no organized entertainment the
weekend before classes started, when
most transfers arrived on campus for
the Spring semester. "It was very
lonely here at first," said onetransfer

or where to go."

Mirabai. from Cazenovia College in
New York said. "People hang
around with the same people as a
means of security because the school
is so big. People can easily get lost
and lose their identity."
Cold Students
Maxson said. "If> a pretty cold atmosphere among the students." She
said. "An elevator ride would be a
perfect example of the situation."
"I think everybody's got their own
group. Whethertheyaregoodorbad
depends on how easily you can get
into or out of the group if you wish."
said Debbie Smith from Siena
College in Loudomille.
Academic adjustment, for most,
was difficult since many felt that the
competition at SUNYA is more intense. Transfers for the Spring
semester were given a "shocktreatment" orientation session where
they were warned that their
cumulative index would decrease a
whole point in their first semester at
SUNYA.
Those in charge of the orientation
session used the fear philosophy to
spur the new students to work hard.
This strategy succeeded only in making the first dayofdassesa"D-Day"

Those who transferred from other
Slate University centers; Binghamton. Buffalo, or Stony Brook, said
the competition and work load was
about equal. However, most
students who transferred from
smaller state colleges and community colleges felt that the students at
SUNYA seem much more grade
conscious and more intent on
beating the other guy.
A transfer from Brockpon said,
"Back in my other school everyone
just worried about themselves.
Everyone did their own studying and
no one cared what anybody else was
doing. You'd never catch anyone
asking a student what his index was
for last semester. People don't care
about grades."
Cutthroat Competition
Smith said, "Competition is good

The Irish didn't just settle in
Albany; they came, saw, and conquered it.
"Conquered is no exaggeration,"
said William Rowley of the SUNY A
English department in an "Irish
Month" lecture at Harmanus
Blceckcf library.
Rowley said, "After 55 years in
power, should Dan O'Connell
[Albany's political chicl'tan] die or
resign, could Mayor Corning ignore
the power of the Irish community'.1" After overcoming poverty,
prejudice, and disease to get that
power, would the Irish let him?
When Governor Thomas
Dongan, an Irishman, granted its
city charter in 1686, Albany was a
pluralistic town of Dutchmen.
French Walloons, Quakers, French
Protestants and Lutherans. Though
Rowley spoke of one Irishman named Jan Andriessande Icrsman Van
Dublingh, afarmer and liquor excise
tax collector, around as early as
1644, the first inflow of Irish to
Albany was during the I700's.
By 1790. 644 heads of families in
Albany were Irish; some had been
mercenaries in the French and Indian War, some had been soldiers in
the British army, and some had
fought against the British in the
American Revolution.
Rowley told of one incident:
"A group of Tories locked
themselves up in the Albany County
jail for a sit-in. They spilled gunpowder onto the street, threatening
to ignite it if they were moved in on,
The pat riots doused the powder wit h
water, and one brave irishman named McDolc grabbed a club and
stormed his way in. The Tories were
subdued, and later hanged."
Alter the Revolution. Yankees
settled in Albany. Among them was
Erastus Corning from Connecticut
(Mayor Coming's great-great grandfather) who became president of the
New York Central Railroad and the
Albany City Bank. The Irish settlers
were well-established in Albany
when control of the city shifted from
the Dutch to the Yankees in the
1820's.
Between 1820 and 1855. the Irish
population in Albany grew from
2.000 to 23,000.
The building of the Erie Canal in
the I820's brought the first wave of
poor Irish immigrants, a wave that
became a flood during the potato
famines in Ireland in the 1840's.
Some immigrants came up from
New York City by boat, but most
came down from Canada and over
from New England. Some walked all
the way.

Albany's Irish
continuedfrom ptgt stven
Buidti disease, these Irish imnrisjrams had to battle the plague of
nativism and anti-Catholic sentiment.
Waves of nativism—"America for
Americans"—in the 1830*1 and
IMQY beaked in I8S5 when the
American Party got 3,000 votes in
Albany.
Anti-Catholic feelings peaked at
the tame time. A crowd of Germans,
who made up 12 percent of the population, burned an effigy of Monsignor Bedini at a rally in Capitol
Park. The visiting monsignor,
meanwhile, was being entertained at
Governor Horatio Seymour's Elk
opening of the canal in I82S, the
Irish workers were not to be ignored.
Dignitaries, bankers, investors, and
politicians had gathered, and so did
members of the labor movement in
white coats. Ralph McCIinton
shouted a toast—"To the cartmen of
Albany: may they never back out
when they candrivein"—and got the
r
most cheers.
The Irish didn't back out in
Albany.
By 1829 they made upfiveto ten
percent of the 24,000 population and
ran their first candidate for countywide public office, James Maher for
sheriff. Leader of the Green Rifle
Corps of Albany, which fought in
the War of 1812, and owner of a
wholesale meat business, Maher "in
a miniature Al Smith campaign" lost
the election "but was a champion."
He also wedded the Irish vote to the
Democratic party, a marriage still
viable today.
Irish immigrants streaming into
Albany between 1830 and 1855 saw
obstacles early Irish settlers didn't
have to face.
After being met at the dock and
exploited by hustling runners who
sold them overpriced or phony
tickets to the West and overpriced
boarding house reservations, immigrant families would find
themselves crowded into small
tenements with as many as 23
families in the South End, Limerick,
or Albany's slum along Canal St. in
Sheridan Hollow.
St. residence.
A fracas also occurred at the Alms
House when it was discovered
someone had given Protestant Sunday school books to the Catholic
children.
Not all the Irish immigrants were
poor and unskilled. John Taeffe, a
clerk in Dublin, took a wife in New
York City and stopped in Albany on
his way west by the canal to St.
Louis. He went to mass at St. Mary's
and was so impressed with the
Albany of the I830's that he stayed
here and became a hat manufacturer. •
Another Irishman, John Tracy,
came to Albany with a price on his
head when the Patriot's Revolution
of 1837 failed in Canada. He settled
here, becoming a distiller of liquors
and the sixth wealthiest man in
Albany, owning the Schuyler Mansion.

struggle, they had certain advantages over other minority groups;

A New York Bioengineer reports
he is trying to develop a system that
would put the human brain in direct

Adam Reed of New York's
Rockefeller University says that
electrodes implanted in the brain
would make a computer of the future
a direct extension of the human
mind.
In a report delivered to the
American Association for the Advancement of Science, Reed argues
that the brain-computer hook-up
would give the average person the
ability to understand anything and
everyt hi ng he or she would ever want
lo know.
Reed acknowledges, however,
that there are some sinister implications in his idea: he admits that
it would be possible to use computers to dictate or control the
thoughts of persons hooked up to
them.
Reed predicts that a miniaturized
computer that could be hooked upto
the human brain and implanted under the skull will.be available within
the next 50 to 60 years.

DEADLY SERENITY
People who die sudden and
violent deaths apparently experience
pleasant memory flashbacks and are
engulfed in feelings of profound
serenity.
At least this is the finding of a University of Iowa research team that
has interviewed I04 women and men
who survived near-fatal situations.
Iowa psychiatry professor Russell
Noycs reports that most victims in
close-call accidents—who were convinced they were about to d i e report that time seemed to slow
down and that they became blissful,
serene observers of their own accidents.
Many remembered the experiences us like "standing off to the
side, observing." They recalled that
happy events in their lives flashed intensely before them, and that it was
like reliving the events again.
One man who nearly drowned 50
years ago reported: "Once 1 realized

fight or switch?
To lb* Editors:
Adaptable SUNYA Students (ASS) is a
recently founded student organization on
whose purpose is to work as a liason between
the administration and the student body of
SUNYA. We feel that the recently published
Task Force Report represents a new and important set of priorities and directions for our
school. Prior to the publication of the report it
was superficial activities as teaching and
research, but it was the wise thinking of the
Task Force which brings to light the true
priorities of SUNYA, the activities of the administrative sector of the university.
ASS feels that rather than fight the innovations which the more experienced
members of the university community wish to
introduce, we as students should be more
reasonable and openly accept those changed
with the spirit of kinship and adapdability
which makes our university what it is today.
ASS wished to aid and assist the administration in its struggle for recognition as well as to
play an integral part in the practical application of the task force's decisions.
ASS feelsthat fundamental tothe success of
the university is the replacement of obsolete
"knowledge increasing" and "knowledge imparting" with more vital administrative services. Because student participation would increase the success of such services, wefeelthat
courses of instruction should be offered which
will facilitate easy adaptation to the new standard. Such courses as Introduction to Gradua
ting, or Elementary Phone Answering, or Advanced Reception, or possible even graduate
work in Classroom cleaning and maintenance
would be living examples of the spirit of the
university.
Quick adoption of the new directives of the
school would eliminate gross wastes of time,
money, and valuable services. Therefore ASS
will direct its energies to the facilitating of
these new programs for SUNYA.
Apology should be made at this point for
any vagueness or superfluity in this document, but with the elimination of Comparative Literature and the reduction of the
English department, acquiring writing skills
necessary for such activities is much more difficult nowthat we arc implementing more vital
programs.
Marc Leve
promoting education
To the Editor:
Some of our undergraduate programs have
either been eliminated or have deteriorated
badly. Among a number of examples, I mention five. Closing of the Milne School cut
down any real practical aspect of the methods
courses of the School of Education and
eliminated what was once a fine student
teaching program. Liquidation of the Allen
Center will stop any tenured professor who is
of sound mind from getting involved in any
all-university undergraduate curricular experiments for a long time. Talk of the demise
of the school of nursing puzzles people, including nurses who write letters to the
Knickerbocker News to point out that there is
an increasing demand for graduates of fouryear programs. A close look at professors'
records who have not received tenure or
promotion recently will show a number who
received as part of their recommendation high
ratings as teachers from both students and
colleagues. A recent recommendation that
graduate programs need more professors with
higher national prestige could mean that undergraduates would be taught more and more
by the temporary, the inexperienced, and the
mediocre,
If t he sit uation is as deplorable as some of us
feel, what can be done? First, as has been
pointed out, we can simply agree publicly that
graduate programs are first, and then clearly
PAGE TWELVE
inform those teaching undergraduates that
this is the case. This should be made clear to
students and parent! who, if they want a good
undergraduate education for their, children,
can advise them to go elsewhere. A student
with a high SAT, a very high set of grades, and
a good deal of money can go to a small college
like Williams where all full professors, a
number with fine national reputations, teach
undergraduates. There are, of course, good
undergraduate colleges in the SUNY system.
However, if we think that undergraduate
education here is important, we should
organize a group to present our concerns to
the administration. Such a group might contain not only tenured faculty but alsostudents,
parents, and alumni who have profited from
the fine undergraduate education which they
received. We should consider, too, doing
something new and exciting with our graduate
programs, eliminating some traditional requirements, developing more interdisciplinary
co-operation (as we have in some programs),
and encouraging some of our undergraduates
to stay with us for more than the time needed
for the undergraduate degree.

more SAnd piles
To the Editor:
In addition to the Albany Student Press, the
Off-campus Student Guide and the Tower
Tribune, SUNYA has a new SA publication
entitled "put of the S Andbox." It seems ironic
that while our system is facing vast cuts and
student groups are preparing to go before
budget committees, our student leaders can
preoccupy themselves with the endeavor.
The publication (it cannot be dignified by
the term newsletter or newspaper) seems to
duplicate many of the functions of the ASP,
while heavily emphasizing SA activities.
SAndbox seems to be nothing more than a
propaganda sheet which allows student
leaders to give their own slant onSAactivities.
SA obviously feels the ASP is denying them
suitable coverage.
This became obvious with Rick Mecklcr's
recent letter to the editor. He felt the ASPhad
distorted the importance of a missing $200.
The story only highlighted the failure of S A to
provide effective leadership on issues of
greater magnitude. In addition, Mccklcr accused the ASP of too great a concern with
journalism. That's interesting. Journalism has
its roots in uncovering the truth. Could this
mean Mecklcr would like less accuracy in the
ASP and its coverage of SA7
ThcASPhas come under Mecklcr's gunsfor
carrying too little SA and campus news.
However, there is an entire community here at
SUNYA interested in all that the ASP offers:
from sports to arts to news—worldwide,
nationwide and univcrsitywide. The ASP is
not without fault but it docs deal withtheconccrns of students on a broad scale. To narrow
this range would further damage the college
student's already distorted perception of the
world outside this school.
In my opinion, SAndbox is a reflection of
SA's inability to deal with its inadequacies.
ASP has nothing to gain by being critical of
SA. It must be remembered that ASP is student funded also. A student cannot help but
surmise that SAndbox represents SA's
willingness to spend our monies on a futile
attempt to portray themselves more kindly.

reciting
residents'
rights
To the Editor:
I wish to add my voice in support of the Ten
Eyck Liberation Army (ASP Feb. 24).
This campaign against the imperialist university housing authority is of a provoked
nature. Residents living in Ten Eyck were not
aware of the inconveniences, nay, atrocities
which would be committed against them when
they signed to live in the dorm. In particular,
the imperialist attitude exhibited in the commandeering of the Ten Eyke study room
shows the true colori of the housing office, this
room, which was invariable in use last year by
a large number of people, was considered insignificant compared to the placement of an
office an mimeograph room (currently occupyingthat space). The failure to provide the
hall with a working television set also shows
the lack of concern shown to the dorm (excluding the offices) by the university.
Although independence from the quad, university, and state is a bit extreme, I believe the
ultimate goal of the TELA to be the reinstitution of our rights as residents of Ten Eyck, and
I wholeheartedly endorse and support the
TELA in this endeavor.

To the Editor:
In the last issue of the ASP before vacation,
an article appeared concerning an off campus
housing survey. It was conducted by the Office
of Residences (specifically the Off Campus
Housing Office) "in an effort to obtain information on where students are living and what
problems they are facingin locating housing"
Yet the summary's recommendations don't
deal with off campus housing at all. Rather
they call for "an increased effort in makinginformation available to students about financial aid and part-time work." All well and
good, but Where's the connection with dealing
with the immediate concerns of off campus
students. The survey is practically useless. It
doesn't tell where anyone can find housing or
what that housing is like. Someone might be
pleased to know that they are the typical off
campus students, but there are no benefits
derived.
What's the solution? The Off Campus
Association (a SA funded group) is currently
conducting their own housing survey, which
can be picked up at the Campus Center Information Desk. This survey is radicallydiffcrcnt
in that it's solely being utilized for the benefit
of anyone wishing to find a place to live off
campus.
What's the difference? The information
gathered will be available for anyone and
everyone to make use of, Information
available will be the location of each dwelling;
whether a lease and/or a security deposit are
required; how much is the rent; arc utilities included, and if not, how much arc they; comments on the landlord/tenant relationship and
the landlord's maintenance of the dwelling.
There are also items eliciting whether the
occupants will continue to livein the dwelling,
andif not, whether they would recommend the
dwelling to be occupied by others.
Here's a good tool for use in locating
apartments for next year and how to evaluate
that housing. And you'll be able to discover
what landlords own what housing in the area.
And while we noticed mention of the Guide
IO Off Campus Living'tn that article, it should
be mentioned that these Guides were prepared
and published by the Off Campus Association. These Guides contain useful and important information pertainingtothe problems as
well as the benefits affecting those people living in the community.
This information includes: Housing (leases,
landlords, deposits, insurance, housing codes,
eviction, etc.), Legal and Health Services
(Legal Aid Society, S.A. Lawyer, consumer
information & protection, a guide to Small
Claims Court, Medicaid, prescription drugs,
on campus health facilities, and health clinics
in the Albany area), and Transportation Services & Daycare Centers.
Later this month another Guide will be
published detailing the preparation in moving
off campus (how to go about looking for and
evaluating housing, choosing roommates,
dealing with utilities, etc.). Copies of these
Guides may be obtained in the St udent Life office, CCI30.
Other projects the Off Campus Association
is involved with arc: Information Sessions
(such as Food Stamps, N.Y. Telephone,
Medicaid, etc. &. on Wednesday, March 17
there will be a representative from the Albany

To the Editor:
Wednesday afternoon the Budget Committee of the New York State Legislature met
tohearthc proposed SUNYbudgetforthe7677 semester. The only matter of importance it
seemed, was the fate of SUNYA's nursing
program. And it wasrightlyso. Assemblyman
Landes in questioning members of SUNY central said that the cuts should not "calculate
public fear" and show "a lack of sensativity".
The nursing program is the only undergraduate at Albany where youare virtually
a "Professional" when you get your degree.
Last year 100% of the nursing graduates
received jobs. How's that for effectiveness.
Though the program will be phased out instead of cut, this year's freshman nursingclass
will be out in the cold. When you are accepted
to Albany, you arc accepted to the nursing
program, and this schoolshould obligatctheir
part of the bargain; that is to graduate these
people with nursing degrees also.
Assemblyman Landes said that the freshman
nursing students will be deceived if they are
not graduated, "they entered a program in
good faith and the intistution should not
deceive them."
What perturbed me also was the fact the
Chancellor Boyer did not have the guts to
show and meet the nurses head on. Instead he
sent some of those "administrator's administrators. In a rough estimate by Professor
Bernard Johnpoll, the self proclaimed antibcauracrai, calculated that the administrative costs of SUNYA could possibly
run as high as 35%. Their fringe benefits arc
not even added to the budget. 1 feel these administrators add nothing to education. It is
also rumored that maintenance costs at this
school could run as high as 20% of the total
budget. I feel budget. That leaves I he student
with 45% of the total. Instead of axlngthc nursing program let's remove some administrative positions. 1 wouldn't know who
the dean of Humanities was if I walked over
him.
Assemblyman Landes asked for the creation
of a committee to study the possibility of making the SUNYA nursing program an exception to the axe. hut Chancellor Hoycr's
representative siad that there was no chance.
Up unitl now Chancellor Itoyer has not made
a concerted effort to meet with our nursing
students. I think he owes them that courtesy,
considering they are the most productive
school in SUNYA as far as the job market
goes.
Though Harvard University has a60%total
graduate enrollment, their per student budget
comes out to approximately 4,100 per one,
ours is about 5,300 per one, but how much do
we actually get out of that?
I think its about time that SUNYA central
re-evaluated its priorities. It is completely

MARCH 16, 1976
Purpose.after all, is what brings them together, not nostalgia.
When a demonstration evolves into a forum for name-calling and the espousing of
unconditional demands, it loses its integrity, and thus, its potential worth. A
demonstration must find its impetus in critical thought and sensible argumentation.
Today's demonstration presents SUNY students with a well-deserved opportunity
to voice their dissatisfaction with the nature and extent of the cuts made from the State
University budget. They must, however, keep in mind that the entire state is suffering
from this fiscal crisis.
. . . See The Whole Picture
Cutbacks in various other state departments will leave many factions dissatisfied.
They too will protest and make demands of Governor Carey and the legislature. To
disregard their needs is selfish and narrow-minded.
What the demonstrators must demand is a careful re-evaluation of the state's
financial situation. They must demand that their arguments be heard—but not that
others be neglected. Hopefully, if the case for higher education is a strong one,
legislators will be swayed to cast their votes for its cause in the preparation ofthe
supplemental budget late in the legislative session.
The final committee recommendations on Carey's budget do provide a note of
optimism, even though an additional $44,200 wassliccd from SUN YA'sappropriation

Recently a column appeared here on Nixon's trip to China. In what was supposed to be
a scholarly, analytical article, the author made
several undocumented comments about Ihe
government of the People's Republic of China
which we feel constitute slander. The author
claimed that "Richard Nixon was a leader in
the finest tradition of what the Chinese consider politics. That is, one cuts down any underling or competitor for the purpose of maintaining and enhancing power, . .Nixondidn'l
kill peopleinthc millions like Chou lln-lui did.
but he certainly cut down, i n a figurali vc sense,
anyone who challenged him." Regarding the
first part of this claim, we feel nothing could be
further from the truth. And the second part is
entirely groundless; we would he happy il the
author could explain just who these "millions"
arc that Chou En-lai supposedly killed.
Rather than relying on unfounded nonsense,
we feel the author should take a look ul some
of the facts, which we will present here.
Firstly, it isn't even necessary to consult
communist journals or sympathetic sources
almost all analyses of China's government,
whether made by liberal or conservative "objeclivc" researchers, show beyond a shadow of
a doubt, that the Chinese Communist Party,
under the leadership of Chairman Mao, came
Io power in China not through "Watergalclype" means (i.e., wiretapping, bribery,
burglary), but throughtheactive participation
ofthe hundreds of millions of Chinese people.
The current campaign in China to criticize
"capitalist-roadcrs" is an example of this same
active, mass participation, and, one of the
means by which this is achieved, the use of
"character posters", is strongly reminiscent of
one of the most mass democratic actions in
history, the Great Proletarian Cultural
Revolution, When Ihe Chinese people grew
weary of the cryptocupitalisl policies of Liu
Shao-chi, then China's President (in 1%6),
(3 I : I. ,Q,%

I hey stood up and criticized him for litis,
demanding his removal from office, which was
achieved.
A similar event occurred several years later.
Alter-the malicious plans ol l.in I'iao were
revealed (not only plotting to kill Chairman
Mao and seize power, bill also male
chauvinism), 1 he Chinese people stood up and
criticized his memory (Lin had been killed
when the plane he was attempting to escape in
crashed in Outer Mongolia) in a campaign
llial led to u big step forward in the women's
liberation movement in China. In this campaign, as today, the "eharacter posters" were
used as a medium to demonstrate public opinion. It is this dynamic force which keeps the
Chinese Communist Party in power, not the
undemocratic means that have been
suggested.
Slanders like the kind made in the previous
article are not unusual in our country, which
still refuses to have diplomatic relations with
the People's Republic of China, and insists on
keeping an immense military force on what
General MacArlhur once described as that
"unsinkable battleship." the province of
laiwan. One oil he goals of our organization
is in get rid ui misconceptions and deliberate
slanders about China. What the author of this
previous article has done is to concoct a huge
fabrication on popular misconceptions and
falsehoods. Several years ago an American
reporter, helix Greene, researched many of
the slanders spread about China in the
American media and compiled them in a
book, A Curtain "f Ignorance, which is
available in our library. Our association urges
that Americans look beyond empty, unfounded statements and examine the truth of a
truly great country, China.

As we all now know, in recent years the FBI
and the Nixon Administration had set out to
systematically oppress the "New Left" and
anyone who opposed the U.S. policies in Vietnam, During this effort, many methods of
harassment were perfected by the repressive
arms of the U.S. government. Now that the
war is over, these repressive efforts continue,
and today the harassment is being directed at
two of the most effective (and threatening)
movements for social change, the black liberation and radical feminist movements. The ultimate aim is to imprison or intimidate those
considered most dangerous.
A tactic employed toward this end is the recent widespread abuse of the grand jury
process. By granting "use immunity", the
government canimprison people withouttrial
for the duration of the grand jury whenever
subpeonaed persons refuse lo allow their personal rights of privacy to be violated.
QUASH, the newsletter of the NY Grand Jury
Project, is an endless litany of such cases
around the country. One recent grand jury in
NYC was established after contraband was
discovered in a courtroom near the three
Black Liberation Army defendants then on
trial. Oddly enough, people attendingthetrial
were not searched that day after having been
searched every day previous to that. Coincidence? Twelve persons, all of whom were activists (includingtwo lawyers) whofrcqucntly
came to the trials to lend support to political
prisoners were subpoenaed. Six of them arc
still facing imprisonment for contempt.
During the FBI search for Susan Saxc and
Catherine Power, grand juries were established in Kent ucky and Connecticut, ostensibly to
acquire leads in the search for these fugitives.
However, the questions asked were so broad
that it became obvious that these grand jury
investigations were intended also to be intelligence gathering efforts into the feminist
and gay communities. Grandmothers,
parents, employers and landlords were informed of the sexual preference of persons under questioning. Two women in Connecticut
were recently freed after over eight months in
prison. Jill Raymond in Kentucky is still imprisoned (without a trial) after a year. The jail
conditions lor Jill are harsh. She is allowed
visitors only twice a week, and she's the only
woman in the county jail.
Oi course, once the age, ts of repression
achieve their ultimate aim of impriioningasocalled dangerous person, this political
prisoner then has practically no protection
from their abuse. Consider the case of Assata
Shakur, a member of the Black Liberation
Army. Since May, 1973 Assata has been in
jail, and she has yet to be convicted of any
crime. She has been acquitted in three trials,
and one trial ended in a hung jury.
Throughout these trials in NYC, Assata was
dept in the psychotic ward at Rikers. For
refusing to let the prison doctors treat her,
after t he delivery of a child, eleven male guards
beat her, causing internal bleeding and head
injuries. Her fifth and final trial begins this
month in New Brunswick, New.Jersey.
Assata Shakur has conducted.'political
trials": that is. she has used her trials as a
forum to expose injustices. Another such trial
will begin in April when Susan Sake begins her
defense. Susan's case has been tied to the incidences of grand j ury abuse mentioned above
and with concern over prison conditions. She
accepted a ten year sentence last summer to
prevent further investigation into the
Philadelphia women's community. She has
made it clear that she intends to light to keep
her trial and other struggles against the injustice system from heing seen as separate
lights. People are organizing throughout the
country around Susan Saxe. Assata Shakur.
grand jury abuse, and prison reform struggles.
Demonstrations and benefits have been held
in many cities: many alternative newspapers
and organizations have been trying to spread
the word. Obviously, in this short space, only
the barest outlines could be related lo you. but
hopefully you'll seek out more information,

rights of political prisoners is a difficult one,
As Assata Shakur has said. "Throughout
America's history, people have been imprisoned because of their political beliefs, and
charged with criminal acts in order to justify
that imprisonment. . .I sat next to a pregnant
woman who was doing 90 days lor taking a

WE DO NOT WANT YOUR MONEY .YET
First of all, we need your understanding.
In the next few weeks, the word Ko'ach will
be seen throughout this campus. Ko'ach in
Hebrew means strength and also has a
numerical value of 28. We have chosen this
word for our campus United Jewish Appeal
Campaign for it will take the strength of each
and every student to help Isreal survive as we
approach her 28th year of existence. But
theKo'ach campaign is more. It is an
attempt to aid oppressed Jewry throughout
the world; from right here in Albany, with
our neglected elderly, to the ghettos of Europe, to the hungry in Iran. But Ko'ach is
even more- it is education, committment,
and then sacrifice. These three words are the
key to Ko'ach.
We want to reach you, challenge you,
provoke you, make you think, and educate
you. Then, and only then, will we attempt
our final step: securing from each of you a
true financial sacrifice to show your committment to oppressed Jewry and to a
beleaguered Israel. We want to speak to
every one of you, but until we can, please
contact us, and question us. Ask for Mike
Fox at 434-4220 or Steve Shaw at 459-8000.
Together we can make Ko'ach work. It
depends on each and every individual putting their strength together, their Ko'ach
together. We can do it. Pass the word on-

The Arts: The Subtle
Threat off Stagnation
by Stephen Elienmin
and Niomi Frledlander
The university, by nature, is the
center of intellectual growth, and
nowhere is this more visible than in
the fields of humanities. However,
SUNYA's humanities programs arc
being threatened with stagnation;
and the English Department is a
prime object of this assault.
The National Board of Graduate
Education, in a report published in
the Chronicle of Higher Education,
gave these startling statistics. Of the
33,000 Ph. D.'s granted in all fields in
1974, "as few as 7,000 and certainly
no more than 15 to 20,000 will secure
employment." In the humanities, the
situation is far more severe. In light
of this figure, the proposal to create a
new English Ph.D. program com-
posed of visible scholars, and a
larger number doctoral candidates
from a wide ranging geographical
area, is troubling.
This proposal, suggested by President Emmett Fields' hand picked
committee of outside cvaluators
(Hugh Holman, Helen Vendlcr, and
James Woodress), is now in the first
stages of implementation. A new
English Department Chairman has
been hired (pending the hiring
freeze). He is John Gerber; 69 year
old retired chairman from the University of Iowa.
John Gerber's credentials arc not
in question; he has a fine reputation.
Yet at a time when four faculty lines
are being slashed, when the budget
crisis is severe, and when younger
men of fine scholarship are left unemployed, the question of Gerber's

select are incosistent with the
austerity demanded by Governor
Carey's budget.
The English Department does not
work in a vacuum, and though one
high salaried scholar may not be
directly traded for two or more
junior faculty members, the loss
must be taken up somewhere;
perhaps in other humanities
programs. Invariably, a scheme such
as this would all but climinatejunior
faculty members; reduce substantially the number of course offerings
(graduate professors teach an
average of two fewer courses than
undergraduate professors); make
classes larger; and reduce undergraduate teaching in favor of
graduate research.
What we suggest instead is that the
English Department abide by some
of the suggestions of the National
Board of Graduate education. These
are:
I. fry to coordinate its graduate
programs in conjunction with other
universities in the stale. This would
mean abandoning the Ph.D.
program in English at Albany,
suggesting that doctoral candidates
enroll in other state schools. It 'is
hoped that all graduale'programs
within the stale will try to coordinate
their programs in order to avoid
duplication and lo conserve
resources.
2. The department should investigate the viability of upgrading
the existing M.A. and D.A.
programs, in line with the
suggestions of the Board.
3. The department should try its
utmost to preserve the quality of undergraduate education while retaining junior faculty and flexibility.
4. New criterion forjudging and

Albany Hoopeters: Winners Again
Booters Miss Playoff Spot;
Keene State Wins Tourney
It was a case of clow but no cigar.
The Albany varsity soccer team
needed one goal, just one goal in the
final fifteen minutes of their game
' against Kings Point College Sunday,
and the Booters would have reached
the playoffs of the Annual Albany
Indoor Soccer Invitational but. .
The twine was not tickled, and the
Danes got to watch the playoffs, won
by Keene State, 2-0, over Hartwick.
"Some great soccer was played
here these past two days," said
Albany varsity, coach Bill
Schieffelin. "Of course I'm disappointed. Cornell [the team which
edged Albany out for that playoff
spot by virtue of scoring one more
goal than the Danes] beat Kings
Point 6-0, and we only scored once."
The Albany West team (Albany
fielded two squads) opened the

said Gaherin. "We'restill confronted
with the same problems at the same
dimensions."
Marvin Miller, executive director
of the Players Association, agreed
with Gaherin. Miller indicated,
however, that the owners were
stonewalling until a specific time,
and then would break the impasse.
A management source told The
Associated Press that the owners'
deadline was Monday, probably
before nightfall. That would open
the camps Tuesday and give teams
three weeks to get ready for t he April
8 openers.
Kuhn was asked about the Monday deadline and replied: "I hope so.
.. But there is a difference of opinion
among owners on how much time is
needed lor preparations."
The commissioner hus the power
to open the camps for the best interest of baseball. The league
presidents, Chuh F-'ceney of the
National and Lee Mucl'hail of the
American, also could issue the order
ii they felt enough progress was being made at the negotiating table.
The thorny problem of the reserve
clause still confronted the
negotiators. The owners want a
player tied to a club—unless traded,
sold or released—for nine years, The
Players Association is willing to settle for a six-year reserve clause. The
players, under an arbitrator's decision subsequently upheld by two
federal courts, legally could become
free agents in two years under the
controversial one-and-one option
ruling.
Kuhn, however, took the play
away from the tense negotiating
scene. Casually attired in a yellow
sport shirt and red sweater, he indicated that he came to Florida to
help break the impasse.
"When 1 think opening the camps
will help bargaining, I will open
them," he declared. "I don't think
that anyone takes seriously the
thought that there will be no
baseball."
Gaherin, his Management Players
Relation Committee, Miller and
nine players worked at the problem
for Vh hours Sunday. Included
among the players present were Tom
Seaver, the pitching ace of the New
York Mets; Pittsburgh Pirates
slugger Willie St'argell; Lou Brock
and Reggie Smith of the St, Louis
Cardinals, and catcher Bob Boone of
the Philadelphia Phillies.

Kuhn: Camps Open Soon
by Ralph BernKein (AP)
Commissioner Bowie Kuhn is expected to step in today and order the
opening of baseball's spring training
camps while negotiations continue
between club owners and Players
Association over a new labor contract.
"I can't offer you a hard date,
whether it is Monday or Tuesday,
but we will have baseball and on
time," Kuhn said Sunday in a sur-
prise appearance at the hotel where
negotiations are taking place,
Despite Kuhn's optimism, the
negotiators issued dour reports at
the end of the 29th negotiating session.
" We're a long way from having the
key to the padlock," said John
Gaherin, the chief negoliutorfor the
owners.
"There is no drastic change at all,"

The Albany State varsity swimming team showed great talent and
depth as more than half their team
placed in scoring positions in seven
individual events and all three relays
at the recent State Championship
meet at Brockport. Albany finished
seventh in the 14-tcam meet.
Individual improvement was the
key to the team's success as every
member of the team hit lifetime best
times. Two records were broken and
one tied, while three others survived
by mere tenths of seconds.
Steve Bookbinder dropped 14
seconds while easily winning his heat
of the 500 yard freestyle, the first
event of the meet. "I'm a little disappointed," said Bookbinder after the
race. "I know I could have done
better if 1 hnd only been in a faster
heat." Freshman Brian Rosecrans
also swam extremely well in the
event with a personal best time.
Paul Marshman began the scoring
for Albany by placing Sthinlheconference in the 50 yard freestyle wit ha
near record time of 23.2. The medley
relay comprised of Dave Rubin, Jeff
Cohen, Mitch Rubin, and Paul
Marshman ended the first day of
competition by winning the consolation finals and establishing a new
Albany State record of 3:53.4.
Artie Rosenberg was Albany's
sole diving entry and suprisingly did
not qualify in the top 12. "1 can't
believe it," said Rosenberg. "I wasn't
a bit nervous... 1 felt really comfortable. 1 just couldn't hit the entries."
The second day began with
Albany entering five swimmers in
the 200 yard freestyle. The bright
spot for the team was Fred Zimmerman, who had consistently done 1:58
times all year, but rose to the oc-
casion ii and dropped to 1:53.4, just 3
tenths of a second off Dave Rubin's
school record.
The 100 yard butterfly was next
with Mitch Rubin, Albany's
strongest entry. After Jeff Rosen and
Paul Marshman proved that they
were top flyers for the team and the
conference, Rubin broke his own
record placing fourth with a time of
0:55.3 seconds. Jeff Cohen and Jack
Seidcnberg were strong hopefuls in
the 100 yard brcaststrokc as both
placed in the top seven in the conference.
Thefinalday commenced and was
destined to be Albany's strongest.
Victor Borkowski started it all off
with his best lime in the 100 yard
freestyle. Paul Marshman swam to a
personal best just missing the cut by
less than a tenth of a second. Jack
Seidcnberg and Jeff Cohen again
placed in the brcaststrokc event.
Cohen, a bit underconfident, wasn't

so after the race. He won, coming
close to another team record.
"I put it all together and cranked
out a good one," said Cohen. "I felt
great."
Soon after, chants of "RUBIN"
rang out from the Albany bench.
Mitch then preceded to do thejob in
the 200 yard butterfly. Dave Rubin
placed a strong sixth, recovering
from a strong case of the flu. Albany
took the 1,650 yard relay as
Bookbinder, Marshman, Rubin,
and Zimmerman combined to wrap
things up in a positive way.
"That's the team I want to coach,"
said Coach Ron White. "They work
as a unit. No matter who is swimming, everyone else is cheering.
That's important for a winningteam,
it gets everyone going... I'm looking
forward to next season, it looks to be
our best. Every school record should
be broken. A 50-50 season is not going to be good enough for the team."

Special Agent in Charge personally responsible . . . "
A July 9, l968,memotoF.B.I.
offices listed suggestions for disrupting radical groups, including:
"Preparation of a leaflet
designed to counteract the impression that Students for a
Democratic SocietyfS.D.S.) and
other minority groups speak for
'he majority of students at universities. The leaflet should contain photographs of New Left
leadership at the respective university. Naturally, the most obnoxious pictures should be
used."
Taking advantage of "personal conflicts or animosities existing between New Left leaders"
and of the "definite hostility" of
New Left organizations toward
such older groups as the Young
Socialist Alliance and the
Progressive Labor Party.
Creating the impression that
radical leaders are F.B.I, informants'
"The use of articles from student, newspapers and/or the
'underground press' to show the
depravity of New Left leaders
and members," especially "articles showing advocation of the
use of narcotics and free sex."
which could be sent to university
officials, donors, legislators, and
parents.
Passing information on drug
use by radicals to local police.
Writing anonymous letters on
radical students and faculty
members to parents, parents'
employers, neighbors, university
officials, governing-board
members, legislators, and
reporters.
"Consider the use of cartoons,
photographs, and anonymous
letters which will have the effect
of ridiculing the New Left.
Ridicule is one of the most potent weapons which we can use
against it."
Prcvi ou sI y

documents indicate that KB.I.

offices did use such tactics

"Unless you recognize this and Angeles, the universities of
Houston and Minnesota, the

During the I960's and early
1970's, J. Edgar Hoover
repeatedly urged agents of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
to exert themselves more
forcefully against campus and
other radical groups, according
to previously secret documents
released last week by the Senate
Select Committee on Intelligence.
The committee included 653
pages of documents, some of
which had been made public
before, in a 1,000-page report on
hearings it conducted in
November and December.
The
F.B.l.'s
counterintelligence program
against the radical groups,
known in bureau parlance as
"Cointelpro— New Left," was established by a memorandum
from Mr. Hoover dated May 10,
1968.
Later memoranda
suggested specific approaches
thatF.B.I. agents might take to
disrupt radical groups.
In a memo dated Oct. 9, 1968,
Mr. Hoover complained,
"Despite these instructions and
in the fact of mounting evidence
of [the radical groups'] moral
depravity, little evidence has
reached the Bureau to indicate
field offices are using this information to best advantage."
He ordered F.B.I, offices to
send anonymous letters to the
parents of any student who was
arrested during a demonstration
or whose "participation in a
demonstration is accompanied
hy the use of or engagemln in an
obscene display." enclosing
photographs, if they arc
available.
In a letter he wrote to F.B.I.
offices on July 23, 1968, Mr.
Hoover said, "I have been appalled by I he reaction of some of
our field offices to some to the
acts of violence and terrorism
which have occurred, such as
those which have recently taken
place in certain college towns
and in some instances on college
campuses."
Mr. Hoover urged the field offices to make "every logical elfort" to determine if radical
groups were behind the violence.
Out of the
SAndbox
CUNY and SUNY students marching to the demonstration
from their busses
University of Texas at Austin
and El Paso, and Wayne State
University.
The material released by the
Senate committee documented
some additional incidents in
which the F.B.I, sought to disrupt the New Left.
According to a memorandum
dated Aug. I, 1968, F.B]I. headquarters sent copies of the 1966
and 1967 income-tax returns of a
professor at a Midwestern university to one of its offices.
The returns indicated that the
professor had claimed very high
deductions, including contributions to such groups as
S.D.S., the Student Non-Violent
Coordinating Committee, and a
draft counseling service. The
F.B.I, office suggested that the
information be made available to
[he Internal Revenue Service.
Cooperative Reporters Used
The documents indicate that
the F.B.I, made considerable use
of cooperative reporters in its efforts to discredit radicals.
A Nov. 5, 1969, memorandum
proposed that the F.B.I, distribute to the news media "a
blind memorandum revealing
evidence of the growing dissatisfaction of militant balcks
with the New Left." It cited conflicts between the S.D.S. and the
Black Panthers and between the
anti-war New Mobilization
Committee and the Black United
Front of Washington, D.C.
In 1969, the KB.I. provided
information on the New Left to a
Jackson Daily .Vcn.v reporter
who wanted to write a pamphlet
lo be distributed on college campuses by the American Legion.
In addition lo detailing
attempts to disrupt the New Left,
the documents also indicate the
extent to which the F.U.I, conducted more traditional investigations ol radical groups.

1) I prefer a system of plus/minus
grading to our present system.

expect. People crashed the fences
and Marshal lines claiming "I'm
from Brooklyn, I want to speak."
The mikes were being grabbed
seemingly by anyone, and others
were looking for a leader to fine
out what was coming down.
A column broke through the
right side and headed to the
Capitol doors. "They broke the
windows," I heard. "Go to the
LOB," "the side doors are open,"
"get off the steps," and others
were shouted, but none rang of
authority.
There was no order. Demands
were bei ng made of legislators inside the LOB[ students were
locked in the capitol, arrest and
injury reports were coming in,
but it was obvious this wasn't
what we had planned.
The media was trying to sort
out what was planned by whom.
Reports from "students seeking
refuge from the inclement
weather went into capitol" to
"outside agitators caused
violence."
Who did what and why is a
question that must be answered
to keep the integrity of the sponsoring groups or to lay the blame
where it belongs. This incident
should not betaken asthe tone of
the majority of the students, at
least ah SUNYA, and hopefully
not of the SA or the
organizations of which it is a
member.

These are some of the people that
will take pies for Telethon
by Paul Rosenthal
The prime remote broadcast
of the academic year comes this
weekend for WSU A . . . Telethon
'76.
As of press time, plans for
radio coverage on other stations
was uncertain, but an option
always available for Albany's
commercial stations is to
simulcast with SUNYA's campus station. Last year Telethon
was aired by WSUA for its entirety and the broadcast was
picked up by Station WABY.
Special telephone lines are set up
between the two station's studios
to produce the simulcast.
WSUA's coverage begins
tomorrow evening at 8 p.m. and
continues straight through until
the conclusion Saturday night.
The station's staff will bring the
message of Telethon '76 to
listeners on the quads at 640 on
the AM dial.
Directly after Telethon
coverage, WSUA will switch to
its booth at;he Nassau Coliseum
for Islanders hockey action with
Nate Salant and Michael
Curwin.
That's Telethon '76 and New
York Islanders hockey... live...
only on your campus-minded
radio station, WSUA.
