Kuhn Orders Camps to Open 'Without Delay'
NEW YORK (AP) Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn ordered major league spring training camps to
"get underway without further
delay" after the players union's executive board declined to take action
Wednesday on the owners' "final"
contract offer.
The executive board of the Major
League Baseball Players Association, meeting in Tampa, Florida,
also had urged the opening of spring
training camps and the reopening of
stalemated negotiations with the
owners.
" Because I think it is now vital that
spring training get under way
without further delay, 1 have
directed that all camps be opened at
the earliest possible time," Kuhn
said.
"While nobody is more disappointed than I that we do not have
solid progress to a final agreement,
the fans are the most important people around and their interests now
become paramount. Opening the
camps and starting the season on
time is what they want."
Kuhn had said last week, under his
authority as guardian of the best interest of baseball, that he could step
in and order the camps opened. At
that time, he said he would intervene
if there was no progress.
However, this week, while in
Florida, site of previous negotiation
sessions, Kuhn said he would step in
if he saw progress and the camps still
remained closed.
The owners had announced on
February 23 that the camps would be
closed indefinitely until there was a
new labor contract or sufficient
progress toward reaching a new

.agreement.
Mthough Marvin Miller, executive director of the players' union, had called for Kuhn to step in
and order the camps opened, they
remained closed.
This would indicate that the
owners had not seen sufficient
progress.
A spokesman for the commissioner said Kuhn had pretty
much made up his mind before
Miller's announcement Wenesday
that the union's executive board
would decline to take action on the
owners' final proposal.
Committee Informed
The spokesman said the commissioner made up his mind and
then informed the Player Relations
Committee, the bargaining agent for
the owners.
Because of the number of players
in the spring training areas, the
spokesman felt the camps, in one
form or another, could be opened on
Thursday.
John Gaherin, chief bargaining
agent for the owners, has been asked
to advise the clubs Wednesday as to
the procedures to be followed in inviting the players to camp.
A meeting of owners is scheduled
for Saturday in New York.
In Tampa, the 24 elected representatives of the major league clubs also
asked that the Federal Mediation
and Conciliation Service be brought
into the negotiations.
The representatives also asked
that the basic agreement, which has
expired, be extended until a new
agreement can be arranged and that
the no-strike, no-lockout provision
be reinstated.
The resolution strongly urged
owners to open spring training
camps, which have been closed during the negotiating process.
The tone of the executive board's
resolution was in sharp contrast to
the militant stance taken by Miller
and sortie 30 players at an informal
review of the offer Tuesday in St.
Petersburg.
Miller said at that time that he
would recommend rejection and a
reading of the players' sentiment led
him to believe that the players were
of the same mind.
John Gaherin, chief negotiator for
the owners, said his Player Relation
Committee was "advising the clubs
by Teletype how they should function in the way of inviting players
and what particular spring training
allowances should be in effect."
However, indications were thai
most clubs would get under way
Thursday or Friday.
Serious Training
Teams that expressed a desire to
start serious training Thursday included the Boston Red Sox, California Angels. Cincinnati Reds.
Cleveland Indians, Montreal Expos,
New York Yankees, Philadelphia
Phillies and San Francisco Gianls.
WOMENS' SPORTS:
Uncoordinated Octopus?
by Christine Bellini
It has always amazed me to see the coordinated movements of an octopus.
Master of It's native waters, the mollusk's eight legs are no insurmountable
difficulty to operate; in fact, they work quite well together -as if all eight
appendages were necessary.
After spending a considerable amount of lime coveringthe various Albany
State women's sports for the Albany Studenl Press, in hopes of stimulating
some outside interest and support from the university community for
women's athletics, I find myself once again quite amazed.
Had I not by chance been interested in the debatable field of athletics
(more questionable in the case of women's athletics), 1 might assume that the
most minimal program existed in the women's athletic department at
SUNYA. I set out to try to increase and improve the women's program's
publicity. Luckily for me, I had no one to compete with lor the job. Life
should only continue to be so easy.
Hut it wasn't too long before I was correctly informed, thanks to those who
work within the department, thai il just isn't so. Contrary to popular belief,
the women's physical education deparlment here at Albany Slate Is in good
shape, both instruclionully and inlercollcgiately.
With two Rhetoric and Communication courses underneath my belt, 1
think it safe to diagnose u threatening case of mis-communication.
Hack to the octupus. Now, mark me if I am wrong, but it seems rather
convenient and logical that all eight arms, legs, or whatever they be, work
together. I find it hard to fathom an octopus whose legs desire to move in
eight separate directions. If anything, it would be rather frustrating. You see,
the octopus has a good sense of internal support. Each leg has enough sense
to support the others, and as a result, the mollusk successfully reaches it s
destination.
Strange where we find our examples, isn't it? But how can one argue with
success? Perhaps if the various women athletes in tennis, basketball,
gymnastics, volleyball, swimming and diving, track and field and Softball
began to show a little interest in their sister sports as spectators at each other's
events, the battle of developing the program would be half won. Playing
basketball in a comparatively empty gymnasium is far from rewarding or
supportive.
Those of us who maintain that we are interested must take the burden off
of the coaches' shoulders and lean it upon each other. The tennis player must
visually support swimming and diving, just as leg number 4 must move
toward the same direction as leg number 7, if the program is to continue to
grow.
A little octopus-sense never hurt anyone. Just look at thai silly mollusk,
he's been using it for years.

$192,000 Grant Goes To Axed Department
by Maria Bucclferro
Congressman Samuel Stratton
announced last week the award of a
National Science Foundation grant
of $192,000 to Joseph Erkcs of
SUNYA's astronomy department
and to I wo other scientists at Dudley
Observatory, to develop a radio impulse delcclor capable of receiving
ultra-short signals from outer space.
This June Erkcs will be out of a
job.
SUNYA had an undergraduate
astronomy department—the only
one in the SUNY system, according
lo Erkes when he applied for the
grant a year ago. But since then, it
has been slated for termination next
year. Erkcs only included his salary
forthcsumnier in the grant, but says
he'll stay in the area wilhoui salary to
complete his research..
"If I left now, I couldn't complete
the grant," says Erkes.'TU try to find
a job that will permit me lo do
research."
Erkcs is excited about his research
in radio aslronomy;"The grant is for
an idea not tried before. When you
build a new instrument, you accidentally stumble upon things you never
looked for before. At the end of the
two-year period, we'll be able to look
at the universe in a new way."

Spectrometer, as it is called, will

The spectrometer will be attached
lo the newly-completed Frank I..
Fullam Radio Telescope, I he sixth
largest of its kind in the country. It is
located on SUNYA's La Rose campus near Lake George.
SUNYA contributed $10,000 to
the building of the telescope, and
awarded Erkes a grant of the same
amount lo help build It. SUNYA
owns the land, while the Dudley
Observatory owns the telescope.
Erkes said that the telescope was
put on SUNYA's property "to cement the relationship between
SUNYA and the observatory."
Though the aslonomy department
will be terminated, Vice President of
Academic Affairs Philip Sirotkin
said thai "wherever possible, we'll
continue this close cooperation with
the observatory." Sirotkin added,
"President Fields is a member of the
board at the observatory, and has a
good relationship with the observatory's nominal head from Union
College."
Curtis llemenway of SUNYA's
astonomy department is currenlly
the obscrvutory's director.
Of the six astronomy faculty
positions, his was the only one not
retrenched last June.
Assistant Chairman of the
astronomy department Frank
Jeltner said, "If llemenway is
retrenched too, there will be no one
left to teach astronomy."
Sirotkin said yesterday, "After
reading President Field's decision
and Ihc report oft he Task Force that
eliminated the astronomy program,
il looks like Dr. Hemenway's faculty
position has also been eliminated."
Jeltner added. "The original

decided a consorlum wouldn't be
workable Ihere weren't enough

hikes criticized the original Select
Committee's methods. "The original
Select Committee report, which was
never published by Ihe administration, said ihc department was poor

showed money awarded lo through
Ihc university, however, through the
SUNYA Foundation. They forgot

Jeltner noted that all SUNYA
astronomy professors except one
Jerry Weinberg-- do their research

from the SUNYA Foundation, except for Dr. Weinberg's, have been in
the $1,000 range the lasl few years,
while at Dudley they've totalled
millions."
Observatory Hurt
Erkes contends that the diminution of astronomy at SUNYA will
hurt the observatory by making it
more difficult lo secure funds.
"Having to put $20,000, un

of a grant more than doubles it; it'll

salaries are picked up by the university."
be more realistic.
"Wc couldn't absorb $400,000."
said Zahm. "Il would clean us right
out of every penny we had. It may
happen based on utilities only; this
would run about $100,000. I'm
guessing here, because the plant
department is the only one that does
know what the actual utility cost is."
Plant Superintendent Ira Devoe
was unavailable lor comment, but if
Ihc charge should be $100,000,
Zahm estimates that FSA would be
able lo absorb the charge for al least
Ihc first year. At $400,000. it svould
have to be passed ontostudenis immediately, so Zahm is pressing the
Slate for a decision.
"We had asked them to comment
by the twenty-sixth; if il was at all
possible." Zahm said. "The problem
is thai our housing contracts arc
almosl ready to be mailed out. In
fact, some schools have done so
already, so a lot of those places will
have to tear up those contracts and
start all over again." This would
creale additional costs and time
problems for these schools, he said.
"I just think it's unfair to mukc the
student pay it [the charge]." Zahm
commented. "We just feel ihut the
Stale ought lo continue to subsidize
it."
SA Controller, Stu Klein, agrees
with Zahm; "It's really a verysneaky
way of getting more money from the
students. The students will pay more
for the bourd. When they start
bitching about what things are
costing ihem, they'll say 'FSA's
charging us more', instead of
screaming at the Slate, who'sthe real
cause of the thing."
Klein feels thai it is morally wrong
lo suddenly start charging FSA after
26 years, since it is practically—
though not legally—a slate institution.

Kremlin Denounces Moderates
MOSCOW (AP) Alter months of
trying to play down its differences
with Western Europe's independent
minded Communist nutlet, the
Kremlin it now publicly denouncing
their ideas of moderate, "national''
communism as heresay to the ideals
of Marx and Lenin.
In a major speech Wednesday
night, chief Soviet ideologist
Mikhail A. Suslov spoke of the
Westerners in almost the same terms
the Soviets have used for their chief
ideological rival, Maoist China. The
Soviets have now told both groups
that Moscow's understanding of
Communist ideology is the right one
and that the Soviet Union will not
meet them halfway on practical and
theoretical questions.
A leading Kremlin spokesman,
Yuri Zhukov, had declared in his
regular television program lastSaturday night that talk of a full split
between Moscow and the Western
parties—particularly the French and
Italian Communists—is a concoction of the capitalist news media.
Both the French and Italian Communists are publicly committed to
pursuing their own brands of
Marxism-Leninism as well as to
parliamentary means of achieving
power. The formula appears to be
paving off with regional electoral
victories in both NATO countries.
Injunctions End
and U.S. officials, apprehensive
about the way the tide might turn,
have warned that any Communist
participation in national government will cool relations with
Washington. The U.S. Embassy in
Rome repeated the warning Thursday, and French Premier Jacques
Chirac said similar warnings addressed to France amounted to "uncalled for intervention by the
American authorities in the internal
affairs of our country." '
Whether the split between the
Kremlin arid the Italian and French
parties is complete or not, Moscow's
relations with the Western parties
appear to be at their lowest public
ebb ever. A top Czechoslovak Communist official, Josef Kempny,
sounded a similar warning against
independent-minded parties last
weekend in a speech in northern
Bohemia, suggesting the entire East
Bloc may be involved in the campaign. Romania, however, has been
pursuing its own independent
foreign policy for some time.
Mum's The Word
Suslov, 73, did not mention
Western parties by name. But
Western Communists on Thursday
took the speech as aimed squarely at
them.
"Everything opportunists present
as some regional or national versions
of Marxism have nothing in common with revolutionary theory and
do harm to the cause of the working
class" Suslov told a meeting of the
Soviet Academy of Sciences.
Suslov's assertion cuts against a
series of recent statements by French
and Italian Communist party leaders
who have called for respect for the
autonomy of each Communist party
and recognition of national
differences.
Gaston Plissonnier, second
secretary of the French Communist
party, stressed in his speech to the
25th Soviet party congress Feb. 28
that his party wants "socialism in
French colors."
Italian party leader Enrico
Berlinguer told the congress that
Socialist society should "guarantee
the respect of all individual and
collective freedoms, of religious
freedom and freedom in thefieldsof
culture, arts and sciences."
Both the French and the Italians
say they support a multi-party future
Socialist state, whilethe Soviets consider the Communist party alone
sufficient to represent their citizens.
The real barb in Suslov's speech—
the reference to "regional" and
"national" Marxism—was carried
Wednesday night by the government
newspaper
lzvestia and the official news agency Toss.
Congress Falls to Mtst FEC Dtadiln*
WASHINGTON (AP) The federal matching funds faucet turned off for
presidential candidates Monday with a final million-dollar splash as
Congress missed a Supreme Court deadline for reconstituting the Federal
Election Commission. How long the infusion of government money into
primary campaigns might be. held up depends now on when—or whether Congress and President Ford agree on legislation rewriting federal election
law.'The court, after ruling Jan. 30 that the FEC was unconstitutionally
appointed, twice gave Congress a chance to pass new legislation. Attempts at
a simple revision of the law bogged down in disputes over further-reaching
and politically significant proposed changes.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) The Security Council Monday opened a
debate on Israeli practices in occupied Arab territories by voting, over U.S.
objections, to invite the Palestine Liberation Organization to participate.
The vote set the stage for the first direct confrontation between Israel and
the
PLO in the council. Casting the lone vote against giving the Palestinians the
same rights as a member state at the Council table, U.S. Ambassador
William W. Scranton declared that the move was a "concerted attempt to
disregard the rules of procedure."
Cunningham to Appear Before Court
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) The Court of Appeals has set next Tuesday for
arguments on state Democratic Chairman Patrick Cunningham's effort to
quash a grand jury subpoena issued by Maurice Nadjari, the special state
corruption prosecutor. Nadjari has charged that Cunningham, who is also
the Bronx County party chairman, has been involved in "selling" judgeships
in the Bronx. Twocourts have ruled that Cunningham must testify before the
grand jury and the Court of Appeals represents his last chance to avoid
testifying. If Cunningham refuses to waive his right to avoid selfincrimination while testifying, the law requires him to quit his party posts.
UNITA Gives Up Hope In Angolan War
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) Battered by their enemies and cold
shouldered by their former friends, pro-Western factions in Angola have just
about given up their last-ditch guerilla war against the Soviet-supported
Marxist government. According to a newspaper here Monday the guerrilla
forces of Jonas Savimbi's National Union UNITA in Angola have "virtually
disintegrated" in the face of a scries of attacks by MIG-21 fighter-bombers o(

Reagan Campaigns In North Carolina
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Republican Ronald Reagan and Democrat George
C. Wallace campaigned against the odds Monday, battling for upsets hut
insisting that defeat in the North Carolina presidential primary election
would not be fatal to their faltering White House campaigns. The favorites,
President Ford and former Georgia Gov. Jim Carter, left their campaigning

is five for five, and Carter has lost only once, to Sen. Henry M. Jackson of
Washington, who is not campaigning in North Carolina.
Lebanese Parliament to Appoint New Head
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) Lebanese politicians agreed on a lace-saving
resignation formula for the defiant Christian president Monday as Christian
and Moslem gunmen fought the heaviest artillery battle of the civil war.
President Suleiman Frunjich participated in the compromise negotiations
but apparently gave no firm promises to abide by the formula. He has firmly
resisted military threats to blast him out of his palace. The deal included
revising the constitution to allow parliament to pick a new president
beginning Tuesday, the radio said. This is ahead of the normal timetable,
which would be two months priortothe Sept. 24cxpiration of F'ranjieh'ssixyear term. Election of a new president by parliament was intended to meet
Franjich's insistence that he not appear to be quitting under the guns of
Moslem soldiers demanding his ouster.
Britain Moves to Prevent Race War
LONDON (AP) Britain, counting on Soviet help, launched new moves

Priorities and Resources were
destroyed us charged by Student
Association President Andy
Bauman.
The denial was conveyed via a
special reply delivered to the Albany
Student Press, a few hours after
Bauman voiced the charge duringhis
Thursday press conference.
Welch, speaking for the administration, said that "the materials
were available to both Task Force
report reviewers; the University
Senate Council on Educational
Policy and the Senate's Executive
Committee.
Welch said. "President Fields did
not invite t h e Council on
Educational Policy and the Executive Committee of the Senate to
re-do the evaluation process com-
pleted by the Task Force." He said
that "the president asked those
Senate bodies to examine the efficacy and integrity of the Task
Force processes."
Bauman criticized the administration for cutting the faculty, while
maintaining
administrative
positions. Welch replied. "Overtwothirds, of the personnel cuts
recommended by President Fields
were in administrative support

destroyed, and the two reviewing
councils were only given limited
authority, they still agreed upon the
14 concerns, all of which Fields rejected. He was highly critical of some
of the methods used by the Task
Force, specifically its failure to .cut
more than two positions from the
administration, while cutting 96
positions from all other areas of the
university. Bauman also criticized
the decision to phase out the nursing
program.
According to Meckler, a main
point of the conference was to point
out that the needs for budget cuts
should not be used as an excuse to
reshape the academic direction of
the university.
In reference to the rally Tuesday,
Bauman said that the SUNYA
students had been orderly during
their march to the Capitol building,
and remained apart from the
relatively few students causing
violence.
A press release issued at the news
conference restated the original purposes of the rally:
"We sympathize with the plight of
the City University students, many
of whom face a total shutdown of
their universities. When Hugh Carey
ran for Governor, we students supported him on the basis of his commitment to 'holding the line on tuition while maintaining higher education as a priority of the state budget.'
It is a commitment which we feel he
never intended to keep. In conclusion, there is a pressing need for low
cost, higher education."

no report of their advertising activities, as is required by law. Kraftowitz explained that these groups
arc guilty of spreading erroneous information in rclationto the laws that
would arise as a result of the ERA.
They stated that the ERA would
mandate the use of uni-scx toilets,
endorse homosexual marriages, and
invalidate rape laws. Each of the
above has been refuted by the Senate
Judiciary Committee reports on the
amendment.
According to Paul Hudson, a
N Y PI RG staff attorney," It is crucial
that the elective process not be subverted." He said anti-ERA groups
have been secretly funding front
organizations. Hudson sees this as
unfair to the voters who musi know
the source of political advertisements, so as to be better able to
judge their credibility.
NYPIRG is urging the Board of
Elections to start an investigation of
these violations of the law. They feel
they have "uncovered the tip of an
iceberg," and now hope that the
Board of Elections will uncover the
underlying body.
Marijuana Law Reform Discussed
by Amy S. Cohen
"An ounce of marijuana can still
get you 15 years in New York State,"
said Robert Voorhis, author of The
Truth About Marijuana. He and
Mark Travis, a full-time lobbyist for
NYPIRG rrom SUNY at Buffalo,
spoke about pot reform to a small
audience Wednesday night in the
Campus Center Assembly Hall.
According to Travis, NYPIRG
advocates decriminalization of marijnana rather than legalization
because society is not ready to accept
marijuana therefore there is no
political chance for such a total
change.
More and more groups huvecome
out in support of decriminalization,
includingthe American Bar Association, the American Medical Association, as well as certain religious
organizations.
NYPIRG is turning to the student
populace for further support. They
hope to change the penalty lor
possession of two ounces or less of
marijuana, and for the sale of the
same amount, to a fine of $100 rat her
than a jail sentence.
NYPIRG is staging their appeal

signatures which will be presented to
Wurren Anderson, the New York
State Senate Majority Leader. NYP1RG is confident that the Assembly,
consisting mainly of Democrats of a
liberal nature, will support
decriminalization; cooperation on
the part of a conservative Senate,
however, is doubtful.
Bill to Carey
If the bill should be passed in the
Senate and the Assembly, it will be
taken to Governor Carey who has
spoken in favor of it.
ALBANY STUDENT PRESS
In New York State alone the 23,000 marijuana-related arrests in the
last two years have been costing
millions of dollars. Various studies,
from "The Indian Hemp Drug Commission Reports"! IH°4)to"Ganjain
Jamaica" (1975), cited by Voorhis
concluded thai "marijuana does not
pose a threat to public health and
safety,"
NYPIRG is asking, why spend all
this money unnecessarily and ruin so
many young lives with these
numerous arrests?

Poor intelligence brought the United States to the brink of a Mideast
war in 1973, but the same inept decision makers have yet to be replaced,
the House Intelligence Committee
has concluded.
In Vietnam, the committee adds,
intelligence decisions constituted
some of the greatest misjudgments of
the war.
The committee's 338-page report
on A m e r i c a n
intelligence
operations, especially the CIA, was
published in part last month in the
New York City weekly The Village
Voice and was reprinted in the
Schenectady weekly The New
Citizen.
All of the CIA's and Defense Intelligence Agency's technology and
human skills were focused on the
Mideast in October, 1973, but their
performances were complete
failures, the committee said. On Oct.
ft, 1973, Egypt and Syria launched a
major assault across the Suez Canal
and Golan Heights against a stunned
Israel. The war cost Americans in
terms of a U.S.-Soviet confrontation
that took placethree weeks later and
the subsequent Arab oil embargo
mostly because U.S. intelligence performed miserably, the committee
declared.
The CIA's principal conclusions
concerning possible hostile actions
at that time "were quite simply, obviously and starkly wrong," according to the committee.
Five months before the October
War, an intelligence and research
Editor's Note: Second in a series
on the House Intelligence Committee's report on the CIA.
memorandum was issued. It was a
particularly bad period for ArabIsraeli relations, and the report concluded that Egypt's President Sadat,
for political reasons, would be
strongly tempted to resort to arms if
talks proved fruitless. "Resumption
of hostilities by autumn will become
a better than even bet" if diplomacy
fails, the report said.
Less than a week before the attack, despite written reports and obvious political tension between the
Arab countries and Israel, the CIA
argued that the chances of war "were
not likely."
The committee report said
"analytical bias" led to the inept
decision. The CIA and the DIA had
concluded that the Arab fighting
man "lacks the necessary physical
and cultural qualities for performing
effective militarv services" and also
did not think Egypt was capable of
mounting a full assault across the
Suez Canal. Intelligence thought
"the Arabs were so clearly inferior
that another attack would be
irrational, and thus out of the question," the report said.
Sources, just before Egypt's attack, fed the CIA with information
which indicated that imminent war
was a distinct possibility, but the
sources were not believed, "for some
reason still unclear," the committee
said. Every serious indicator pointed
to war, but the CIA did nothing
about it.
The fault may well lie in the reporting system, the committee concluded.
The National Security Agency
read the indicators correctly, but intercepts of war preparations turned
into written reports so voluminous,
averaging hundreds each week, that
few analysts had time to digest more
than a small portion of them. Also,
some of the reports were gross un-
dcrstatements. Just two days before
the war, with obvious Arab movement in the deserts, the CIA was saying it was a "ho-hum" day in the
Mideast.
The committee report had a few
bad words for Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger.
"There was testimony that Dr.
Kissinger's secrecy may also have
thwarted effective intelligence
analysis. Kissinger had been in close
contact with boththc Soviets and the
Arabs throughout the pre-war
period. He, presumably, wasina unique position to pick upindications
of Arab dissatisfaction with
diplomatic talks, and signs of an
ever-increasing Soviet belief that
war would soon break out," but he
never passed any signs to the intelligence community, the committee said.
Having no plan for the area, the
CIA and DIA quickly found
themselves in chaos, bringing
America to the brink of war, the
committee declared. And most of the
same policy makers, the committee
found, are still on the job.
In Vietnam, the CIA and other intelligence operations performed
equally as poor despite the $10
billion spent on intelligence each
year.
Death for Thousands
Intelligence was unable to adapt
to an unconventional war in 1968,
spelling, perhaps, death for
thousands of Americans in the Tet
offensive.*
Taking advantage of the Vietnamese lunar holiday, the North
Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces
launched an all-out offensive on Jan.
30, 1968, against virtually every urban center of South Vietnam.
"The greatest misjudgment of the
war," the committee said, was caused by "our degraded image of the
enemy."
Disputes between the Military
Assistance Command in Vietnam
and the CIA created false perceptions of the enemy. U.S. forces faced
and prevented measurement of
changes in enemy strength over time.
Also, pressure from policy making
officials to produce positive intelligence indicators reinforced
erroneous assessments of allied
progress and enemy capabilities.
"The numbers game not only
diverted a direct confrontation with
the realities of war in Vietnam, but
also prevented the intelligence community, perhaps the President, and
certainly members of Congress,
from judging the real changes in
Vietnam over time."

Ubertarian Candidate Speaks Here
"What's needed in this country is
nothing other than a simple dose of
human freedom in all areas," saw
Roger MacBride. Libertarian Party
candidate for President
MacBride spoke here last
Wednesday night in Lecture Center
21. His appearance, before an
audience of about SO. kicked off four
days of campaigning in New York.
A Libertarian party spokesman
introduced the candidate as the only
non-political running for the
presidency. While MacBride has
served as co-creator of the T.V. show
"Little House on the Prairie," he is
•i \
n
also a Harvard Law school graduate
and a prominent member of the
Libertarian Party. As a Republican
electoral delegate from Virginia in
1972. MacBride cast his vote for the
Libertarian Party, putting them in
third place in the election. Last year.
MacBride was himself nominated.
MacBride favors a more neutral
foreign policy for the U.S. Since die
U.S. became more involved in
foreign affairs, he said, it has gone
through four major wars. "We have
indulged ourselves in a policy which
has proved bankrupt." be added.
MacBride would liketosee .America

Another area in which MacBride
wv-vuld bring change is that of civil
liberties. "The government has no
right to interfere with our lives," he
said. "It should keep its hands off."
The libertarian Party opposes laws
limiting the freedom of individuals,
provided they are not harming"
others. Censorship laws, restrictions
on scuta! behavior, and laws affecting drug use would all be changed.
Drag Platform
MacBride's approach toward the
drug problem is one of the more controversial parts of his platform.
"Eves grow glassy when 1 speak
seriously of the decriminahration of
heroin, and they needn't." MacBride
says. He points out that drug addiction in the U.S has increased
tremendously in the 60 years since

but has legalized heroin useMac Bride then turned to the third
leg of his platform, that of the
necessity of free economy for this
country. "I think you've got the idea
that the economy is neither free nor
healthy." he says. He believes the
tariff structure and government
monopolies are largely responsible
for higher prices for consuirers.

ZODIAC N
FORIEON MADNESS
High Times Magazine has
published a letter in its current
(March) issue containing more
allegations about the reported torture of Americans in Mexican jails.
The letter, which is just one of
dozens of eyewitness reports
reaching the US in recent months,
alleges that agents of- the US Drug
Enforcement Administration have
been present when American inmates were brutally tortured.
The letter-writer, identified as
Robyn Everman, writing from the
Santa Marta Prison in Mexico City,
claims that in one instance, an
American grandmother was madeto
stand barefoot in cold water while
she was repeatedly shocked on the
genitals.
Everman adds that electric cattle
prods arc commonly used against inmates, none of whom has ever been
permitted to contact an attorney.
The letter-writer specifically identifies one DEA agent named Arthur
Sedillo, badge number 1944, as being present during a particularly
brutal torture session of a young
male inmate.
US officials in Mexico, who at
first denied that such torture was going on, now admit toit, but say they
are powerless to intercede.

Berkeley, California, Police Chief
Wesley Pomeroy, considered one of
the Nation's toplaw enforcement experts on drug abuse, told a Bay Area
seminar last week that he favors the
decriminalization notonly of heroin
but of all other illicit narcotics as
well.
Pomeroy stated he considered
drug abuse a "medical problem"
that "cops should not be involved
in."
The Berkeley Police Chief said he
believes that current drug laws are
essentially dishonest and promote
drug abuse and crime. Pomeroy is a
former directoi with the Drug Abuse
Council, a private research and
education
foundation
in
Washington.

WITCH RIGHTS
The Colorado Civil Rights Commission has scheduled a hearing later
this month to decide if a woman can
befiredfrom her job simply because
she is a witch.
Kathy Estes, the mother of two,
who wasfiredfrom her job as a hotel
cashier, claims she was dismissed
simply because she admits practicing
witchcraft in the privacy of her own...
home.
She had asked to be reinstated under the Colorado State Civil Rights
Law which prohibits discrimination
on the basis of race, sex, creed or
religion. Estes claims she was fired
on the basis of her creed.
Estes was dismissed from her job
after a male employee allegedly
received a dead flower in the mail,
and the hotel management interpreted this as an attempt by Estes to
cast some kind of hex.
Estcs states she does not practice
black magic or cast hexes. She says
"1 didn't [go to work] in black robes.
1 practiced in the privacy of my
home. And I want my job back".

shaken, telephoned the police for
help.

FILLED JAILS
You've heard of "No Vacancy"
signs, but in jail? Gloria Kent, was
sentenced to serve a 75-day jail term
in Bend, Oregon, recently, but she's
having trouble getting a reservation
for a cell.
Kent, who w o r k s during
weekdays, was given permission by
the judge to "do her time" on
weekends for various drug-related
charges.
Kent attempted to do so on the
following weekend, but was turned
away from the prison by officials
who said there was no room in the
County's only jail cell for women.
For several months Kent
telephoned Deschutes County
Sheriff F. Sholcs each week to sec if
cell space was available, and every
weekend he denied her request to go
to jail.
Finally, several weeks ago, the no
vacancy sign went down, and Kent
has been allowed to complete six
days of her sentence. Sheriff Sholes
says, however, that he can't estimate
how long it might take the woman to
finally put in all of her 75 jail days.
POSTAL SERVICE
SECRET
California Congressman Charles
Wilson says that the U. S. Post Office
maintains a secret depot in Detroit
where it hides packages that have
been badly damaged by the Postal
Service.
According to Wilson, who toured
the facility earlier this week, the
thousands of parcels and packages
are so badlydefaced and such anembarrassment to the Post Office, they
arc kept under guard behind a 12foot fence so the public can't see
them.
Wilson says that his visit to the
compound confirmed what he termed "Horror Stories" related to him
by postal workers. Wilson says that
"If the public could gothroughthese
bulk mail centers themselves and see
the packages, they'd be terribly disturbed at what the Postal Service is
doing to them."

To the Editor:
As one of many students who participated
in the March 16th march and rally to fight cutbacks in the SUNY system, I was appalled at
the manner in which the news media chose to
portray the incident. The coverage of this
"near take-over of the State Capitol," to quote
an enlightened anchorman, was so grossly exaggerated that it was not only obtrusively biased, but teetered precariously on the brink of
fiction.

A Little Older .
Once again, it's the age of protest. Thousands of angry, frustrated students descend
upon the Capitol one winter's day, several crashing through the doors, in protest of
cuts in the budget.
Six or seven years ago. the response would have been clouds of tear gas and the use of
military strategy,
but police and establishment alike arc now wiser. Governor Carey
quietly slips out a side entrance, while the two students arrested in chaos receive legal
and moral assistance from Senate Majority leader Warren Anderson.
But the question remains: have students as well become wiser?
The recent wave of similar, but generally unrelated, protests at various SUNY
campuses makes this question all the more pertinent, since the sincere efforts of many
people with good intentions are, in this case, potentially being wasted.

"Well, 'think I'll write about the budget cutbacks." I muttered to myself as I sat down at the
typewriter to do this article. I was getting comfortable and had just positioned my fingers above
the keyboard, ready to type the first words. Which I would have done—had a voice not startled
me. It was a squeaky, high pitched voice, kinda like you mistakenly put the record player on 45
rpm.
Ken, please don't write about budget cuts. They're boring. Write about farts, it squeaked.The
voice was comingfrom on topof the kitchen table. 1 quickly scanned and located the owner. The
saltshaker had a cute little face on it. And it was talking to me. About farts.
I had a problem to resolve: Should 1 talk back? I mean, I think the saltshaker spoke to me. And

they might not understand why I'm talking to a saltshakcr.Seeking assistance in my dilcma. I
glanced back at the saltshaker, but the face was still there. It was accompanied by teeny little
arms, resting where I imagine saltshaker hips arc. The look was one of impatience.
Well?
"Well what?' I answered back.
Well are you or aren't you going Io write about boring, banal bureaucratic budget cuts? I li ked
the alliteration, and went to pick up my pen to jot it down. The pocket clip bit me.
You just answer Salty, Mr. Bigshot Writer, and leave your stupid notes for later! My pen is
usually quite passive in nature, so I took this as a sign that I'd better watch my step. Very calmly, I
stood and addressed my saltshaker.
"Why, yes, I am goingto write about it. The budget cuts are on everybody's mind, and I think
there are some funny things to say about them. Sol plan to write on the topic." And with that I
casually sat down und pecked out the first sentence on my typewriter. It was to be about how the
university was in an uproar, yet the only suggestions offered by the various departments was
'Don't cut me'. Hut the characters typed on the sheet of paper read differently:
'Please Ken, anything hut budget cuts.' My Smith Corona was joining forces with my
saltshaker and pen. I was experiencing a mutiny of my household possessions and I'll have to
admit a luck of knowledge of what to do in such a situation. So 1 started shouting.
"Now look, I um the human here, and I say that I'm going to write about budget cuts! If you
don't like it, well loo bad! I'm not going to be bullied by inanimate objects." With this the
chandelier started swinging, the radio turned on and off at high volume, und the chair 1 was
sealed on broke. I lay sprawled on the floor, considering my next move. Ihe saltshaker perched
on Ihe table above looked down at me menacingly.
"W-w-well, m-m-maybe you have a point," I offered. My voice certainly sounded scared. I
noticed, but that was of course ridiculous; how could I hescared of a saltshaker and chandelier? I
mean, aflcr all, they're my dumb possessions-slaves to me, not the other way around, right?
One thing was for certain: yelling is not the way to deal with them. So I returned my tone to a
more gentle, friendlier one, hoping to end this rebellion in time to complete the article before
deadline. There's no way my editor would understand that a salt shuker-led mutiny held me up.
"Look, why don't I tell you about what I'm planning to write, and you can be the judge." As I
heurd myself finish the sentence I realized I was vesting absolute editorial powers in my
saltshaker.
So, still confused as to what was going on, I told them about my plan to save the university
from its budgetary woes.
Pausing only to chuckle and occasionally break into a lit of laughter, I explained my job

Angry 'Medea'
by Naomi Friedlinder
Theatre-in-the-round presents
one of the most captivating aspects
of drama: it permits the audience to
interact with the players and to
assume an active position in the
course of the action. Phenomenal as
this may sound, the playersandtheir
audience were fused together in
SUNYA's production of Euripedes'
Medea last Friday night.
Under the direction of Edward >
Mendus, Associate Professor of
theatre, nine actors performed this
Greek tragedy in the PAC Arena
Theatre. The proximity of the
players to their surrounding viewers
gave the production its vitality and
the energy needed to convey the
demonic evil Medea represents. .
Set designer, Joseph Zubrovich,
created a simple, rustic environment
to symbolize the legend of Medea.
The heavily draped props, the shells,
and the sand were not realistic exponents of ancient Greece but
emblems of any coastal setting. The
audience was viewing a classic as
feasibly current as any modern
horror story.
Pamela Burri, Costume Designer,
added to this effect with her long,
weighty robes, reminiscent of Greek
garments. However, her effects were
poorly highlighted by the lighting
which only rarely complemented the
set.
Deborah Lee Smith brilliantly
portrayed Medea, with the venom
and bitchiness essential to the
character of this vengeful woman.
Her facial contortions and gestures
accented her magnetic voice and
produced a captivating, awesome
figure. Ms. Smith, without exception, carried the play. However, she
was well supported by Pearl
Stratyner, the Nurse, who admirably
displayed a quiet energy and determination. The two women, Debora

Beechert and Deborah Dodge,
demonstrated their talents in their
solo performances though their
choruses had a choppy, sing-songy
effect.
On the whole, the male performers
in Medea were invariably disappointing. Curt Richardson, as Jason, was
a passive, unemotional figure rather
than the dynamic hero depicted in
Greek legends, while Robert
Marcello's Creon was little more
than a stick figure, mouthing lines
and awkwardly gesturing. Even the
Attendant, a minor role played by
J.E. Parker, was a bland, shallow
character, talking insuch an obvious
monotone that it was blatantly apparent that Parker was bored with
his part. Only Larry Harris, as
Aegeus, displayed the dynamism
and strength typifying the Greek
hero.
Georgia Rucker's original flute
pieces echoed through the Arena
Theatre, emphasizing the eerie, piercing tone of Medea. The music
chilled each viewer as he sympathized with Medea's woe and
became the character's reluctant,
awed accomplice.
French proverb
Albany Symphony:
Through the Back Door
by Stephen Eisenman
An evening spent with the Albany
Symphony Orchestra always proves
t o be challenging. After struggling
through the long line at the box office to pick up my reserved tickets, I
was told that they had been given
away to some other Eisenman from
the ASP. Some haggling finally convinced them that I was the real McCoy and I took two other seats, anxious for the music to begin.
Here at Albany's Palace Theatre
we heard more than just music: I
heard ushers snickering, men with
perfect lungs coughing like consumptives, and ladies with big hats
discussing the conductor's suit. But,
I told myself, this is not New York
City, be patient.
The performance of the music in
the first half of the concert demanded patience. Schoenberg's Five
Piecesfor Orchestra, an outstanding
early work by the master of the 12
tone scale, was poorly conceived by
conductor Julius Hegyi. Where the
work demanded crisp stops and
starts, the musicians were sluggish.
Where tempos needed to be quickly
stepped up or down, Hegyi guided
his orchestra through the backdoor.
For this piece to be effective, it must
be sharp, emboldened by rapid shifts
in tempo and dynamics.
The second work, Beethoven's
Fourth Symphony, was the scene of
another struggle. The first movement was very sloppy. A few of the
strings struck bad notes, damaging
the sound of the entire string section.
The pacing was too deliberate and
the horns sounded as if they were
drowning. The third movement,
marked by some brilliant solo
clarinet writing, failed to achieve any
degree of lyricism. The strings once
again slid into passages that
demanded assertiveness.
The second half of the concert was
much better than the first. It began
with a performance of Cesar Frank's
Symphonic Variations for Piano
and Orchestra,
with soloist
Theodore Lettvin.Mr. Lettvin, a
large man with massive arms and
hands, displayed a masterly control
of the keyboard. He executed the
most difficult of passages with ease
and sensitivity, ranging over the

the Troy YWC'A on March 1.1. It was
won by Michael Carey with 4 points.
piano as if it were a mere toy. The
orchestra, perhaps inspired by this
fine musicianship, performed well.
The final work of the evening was
Franz Liszt's "Dance of Death" for
piano and orchestra. This work,
composed of one simple theme from
which a myriad of variations are
spun, is great fun. It is loud and
crashing at times, soft and ethereal at
others. It is largely an exercise in
master pianist technique, with runs
up and down the keyboard, trills,
and other pianistic pyrotechnics.
Lettvin performed them all w>th
relish. He expressed the music's
romantic demonic nature, bringing
to mind late medieval paintings of
the Last Judgment. Again the
orchestra seemed more at ease in the
role of accompanists.
The next and last concert of the
season promises to be a good one,
w i t h w o r k s by Bizet and
Moussorgsky. I shall attend, undaunted by rude ushers or tuberculin
listeners. Who knows, perhaps the
Albany Symphony Orchestra will be
great, perhaps the lines will be
shorter.

by. All very nice. 1 kept expecting a
slew of stars and starlets to swirl in,
creating a big sensation, but none
did. I felt a bit out of place, but still
impressed with the theatre's efforts
to transform their preview into a
gala event.
First things first The Dogfather.
Hoodlum pooches try to heist the
Pedigree Diamond from some rich
people but are foiled by this little kid
with severe behavioral problems.
Then the big one. Well, if you're
discriminating enough to be able lo
distinguish between funny and
laughable, you're too quick for
Gtthle and Lombard. First off, they
show a picture of Clark Ciablc and
Carole Lombard and fade it into a
shot of James Brolin and Jill
Clayburgh. Had move. Automatically you're going lo compare the real
ihing lo the Brand X's. Physical
appearance undoubtedly has a lot to
do with charisma and class, bul
magic is more important.
Mosl of Ihc lime, director Sidney
.1. Furie keeps Brolin out of the
bright lights, enhancing his superficial resemblance to Gable.
Clayburgh, who is prettier than
Brolin, is usually Hooded in light. Is
Furie trying to represent, symbolically of course, the cont rusting,' complementary personalities of the restrained, brooding
Gable and the bright, flighty Lombard'.' Probably not. One good look
at Brolin, with that perpetual look
like he just got smacked in the hack
of t he head wil h a board a nd he's t rying lo decide if il hurts us much as it
feels like il hurls, and you can't help
wondering why lie isn't stationed
near the door of an old-time general
store with a fistful of cigars instead
of pretending lo he a slar.
This is one of those artsy,
Hollywoodsy-slory-wilhin-a-slory
jobs, so you get your choice of
endings the tragic, corny death of
Lombard, or the genuinely affecting
(Honest!) triumph of the power of
love. A si/eable portion of the
audience arbitrarily chose olher
points in the film as the ending, at
least for I hem. Maybe I hey were expecting to see (iahle and Lombard
reincarnated. Muybelheyjusl didn't
like seeing them castrated.

Less than two minutes later,
Brookmeyer tipped in a blast from

Major Leagues Vie For Toronto
•olomon
Feceotf at center-court during AMIA Floor Hockey League game.
NEW YORK (AP) Toronto, which
recently lost out on a franchise
switch, now finds it is being wooed
by both leagues.
I'm overjoyed," said Paul Godfrey, chairman of the Metropolitan
Toronto Council. "One fair maiden
and two suilors—that has to say
something about the kind of city
Toronto is."
It is an ironic twist for the Canadian city which lost the National
League Giants when San Francisco
found financial interests to buy the
club and keep it there.
Saturday, both the American
League and National League expressed interest in Toronto. The
American League took the intiativc
by voting 11 to I to expand to
Toronto in 1977. Then the National
League responded by saying it
would actively consider expansion in
1977, also to Toronto.
The American League has a head
start, but the National League seems
to have the advantage of having a
ready-made rivalry in the Montreal
Expos. Chub Feency, president of
(he National League, said the NL
had not committed itself to definite
expansion in 1977 but it could convene a meeting "on n moment's
notice."
Lee Macl'hail. president of the
American League, said the AL's
move was prompted by a desire to
have an even number of teams for
the 1977 season. The American
League is already committed to
Seattle as a 13th team.
Inter league Play
But the American League would
probably not be adverse to yielding
on Toronto and maintaining 13
learns in each league in 1977, provided there was inter-league play. The
AL favors intcr-Jcague play, but the
NL is opposed to it.
"There is one ballpark in Toron-
to," MacPhail said. "Weare not contemplating Iwo teams. If the
National League votes to expand
and continues in its desire to go to
Toronto, then either the National
League or the American League will
he successful in placing a team."
MacPhail said that the American
League would now start making
plans for I he 'Toronto franchise. "We
now must make definite plans concerning price and talkingtogroups."
he said. "It gives us a head start to the
extent that we have made a commitment to expand and they have not."
Meanwhile, negotiations between
the owners and the players on a new
labot contract were expected to
resume today.
The owners on Saturday wit hdre w
their "best andfinaloffer," to which
Marvin Miller, executive director of
the Players Association, said: "It's a
negotiating tactic. They can do
anything they want."
Hockey Playoffs Underway;
Tight GamesHighlight Play
by Nathan Salunl
Playoff action was fast and
furious in / HA's Floor Hockey
League Sunday, as three of the five
games were decided by one goal, including a marathon 29-minutc overtime match won by the BVD's, 4-3,
over the Cheekies.
BVD's 4, Cheekies 3
Dennis Del.isle's 15-foolcr at
19:01 of the second overtime period
gave the BVD's a 4-3 upset win over
the second seeded Cheekies.
A pair of goals by Tom Martin,
the second on (i powcrplay withjust
14 seconds remaining in regulation
play, tied the game at 2-all, as the
BVD's watched a 2-0lead disappear.
Fifteen seconds into the first overtime period (a ten minute, nonsudden death affair) John Romano
converted on a Tom (/race pass to
give the Cheekies a short-lived 3-2
lead. Del.isle erased it three minutes
later, and scored the gamewinner on
a Iced from Paul Shallenberger.
The BVD's got goals from Jim
Holland and Shallenberger in the
first and second periods, respectively, to take that early 2-0 lead.
Spinners 3, STB 1
Joel Goldberg's unassisted goal
midway through the second period
proved to be the gamewinner, as the
Spinners beat STB, 3-1 and secured
the eighth seed in the playoffs in a
tiebreaker created when both teams

At present the Central Council
Food Committee consists of 5
a c t i v e members and is
concerning itself with all aspects
of campus wide "eating". If you
have any specific complaints
about ihe food on campus, they
should be taken to the food
committee on your own Quad.
These Quad committees meet
with the Food Service Director
and all complaints such as: "The
roast beef stunk on Tuesday
night", arc noted and taken care
of. All comments, regardless of
how minor, arc encouraged.
On the Central Council Food
Committee each member is
working on a separate project.
Barbara Lcibowitz is looking
into new meal plan policies such
as a coupon system. Debbie
Raskin is working on adding
music to all eating areas; either
juke boxes, radio or tape system.
George Del.uca is investigating
the possibilities of a week of beer
and ice cream on the podium.
Robyn I'crchik is working with

Fields Plan
The following was read by Andy Bauman at a press conference on
Monday March 22 in the Assembly Hall
Last Monday, President Fields announced his plans for institutinj
the mandated cutbacks in the SUNY Albany operating budget.
For the most part, the work and decisions of the Task Force seen
to be reasonable, however, some questions remain conspicuouslj
unanswered.
Why did President Fields decline to alter any Task Force decisions
even though both of the groups he appointed to review cited 14 areas
of concern? Is it rational to expect all 14 areas in question to be
unfounded in fact? And what are those facts that the Task Force
used? All of the Task Force worksheets were destroyed, and thus
unavailable to both review channels. This can only lead to
speculation on hidden inconsistencies.
Both review channels had their hadns tied by their limited charge
and resources. President Fields' charge to these councils only for
review based on new information or procedural inconsistencies,
ignoring whether or not the decisions were logical. And even with the
limited charge. President Fields rejected all 14 concerns that both
councils agreed upon. One must wonder why he asked for their input
in the first place. Was it to help him make more rational decisions, oi
to be merely used as an easy means to legitimize his decisions?
In addition, there are questions about the decisions themselves. As
background, it must be remembered that all the information for the
Task Force's work, was provided by Fields direct assistants or his
institutional research office.
Why were only two positions cut from the area of General
Administration while all other areas were cut by over 96 positions'?
Fvcn by the Task Force's own admission, their work in the non
instructional areas was hastily done due lo time constraints. Thus, the
Administration's own recommendations for administrative cuts were
generally followed hy the Task Force. In these times of educational
cutbacks, shouldn't the grealer emphasis be placed on cuts in
administrative bureaucracy rather than in our teaching faculty?
Finally, there is the cut ol the nursing program. Our nurses are in
such demand that each and every graduate has a job waiting. The
decision was based on a stud adherence to traditional academic
criteria while completely ignoring the pressing social need for our
high quality Nursing program. This is no time forthc President of a
Stale University to cower in an ivory lower of academia. New York
Stale has a responsibility to facilitate the training of health care
personnel, and the best place il can be done is in our own universities.
