"The academic year 1970-71 was one of
acute and sometimes painful adjustment.
While lens of thousands. . . sought admission lo Ihe Slate University, . . . we were
confronted with a fiscal crisis of fairly
serious proportions. Abruptly, the University was forced to reassess Its future goals
and reduce several ongoing programs.
"Such rapid revaluation created considerable uncertainty and new tensions.
Almost overnight, il seemed, the State
University, like most other institutions of
higher learning, ended an era of rapid
growth and sustained support and entered a
period of more measured growth and more
cautious funding."
— SUNY Chancellor Ernest I. Boyer
from the 1970-71 Chancellor's Report
Chancellor Boyer could not have known
how bad things would be in 1970-71 — or
how bad they were to get. The "new
realities," as Boyer called them were a
shock after the State University's rapid ebpansion in the preceeding two decades.
When the State University was formed In
1948 to serve New York State's returning
veterans, the possibilities
for the nation's first
SUNY
" d e c e n t r a l i z e d " state
university
seemed
Budget
limitless. With Nelson A.
Rockefeller as governor when the state's
"gentlemen's agreement" not lo compete
with the state's private colleges ended, the
funds that poured into SUNY construction
and deveoopment it seemed, would never
end.
The inllation and recessions of the '70s,
however, have tightened the slate budget.
The State University has seen the end of
those seemingly limitless possibilities and
has been left with fewerand more difficult
decisions.
Rapid growth
In 1946, a commission established by the
Inset: Clifton Wharlon; SUNY Central building
Inflation and recession of Ihe 70's have tightened the stale budget, leaving SUNY with some difficult decisionsstate legislature found that less than half of
the slate students ranking in the top quarter
of their high school classes would attend
college. The cost of education was a major
factor, the commission found. At the time,
New York was the only state then in the
country without a public university. Today, the 64 campus system is the nation's
largest.
While % percent of SUNY's 380,000
students are slate residents, three of live
state high school graduates attending college leave the slate, according to ihe SUNY
Chancellor Clifton R. Wharton, Jr. Yet, he
emphasizes, there is a SUNY campus wiihin
50 miles of nearly every stale resident, "and
1 don't know of a subject that you can't
study at some Institution,"
The growth of SUNY was limited in the
'50s by a "gentleman's agreement" with
the state's private colleges and universities.
The agreement allowed SUNY lo grant
liberal arts degrees only from the college at
BInghamton. SUNYjdid. however, found
the upstate and downstatc medical centers
and a number of community colleges.
With Rockefeller as governor in the '60s,
development of the Stale University accelerated, Founded were Ihe four university centers at Buffalo, Albany, Stony Brook
and Binghamton, most of the 30 community colleges, half a dozen agricultural and
technical colleges, several specialized colleges, and a handful of statutory colleges,
which are operated fointly by SUNY and
the private colleges at which Ihey arc
located. A dozen colleges of liberal aris
and sciences, including Frcdonia Slate
University, were developed mainly from existing teacher's colleges. In ten years,
SUNY enrollment quadrupled.
In Iwo decades, $3.3 billion had been
spent constructing the university system —
an accomplishment The New York Times
has called "one of the most dramatic feats
in American higher education."
The Times also called SUNY's design "a
combination of happenstance, politics and
occasional planning," citing the location of
campuses on already existing private college
campuses or where a community college
sponsor could be found, and political
reasons for spreading c a m p u s e s
geographically around the state.
An arguable result of this "decentralization" has been what some argue is a "leveling effect." Because there are so many
campuses, the argument goes, Ihe politics
of giving mi ire lo one campus than another
will prevent any one campus from being
"great." Willi current state underfunding,
Ihe argument is now used to predict the
deterioration of Ihe entire system, since all
campuses musl "suffer equally."
Another issue often argued is whether

The Falashas are faced with potential annihilation.
IIK//ZK
The plight of black Ethiopian Jews who have been
persecuted for centuries and who long for immigration lo
Israel was revealed last night to a group Of 30 people
in a Campus Center meeting room by JSC-llillcl's guest
speaker Barbara Gaffin, as pari of her continuing effort to
educate and motivate people to action.
No one is sure liow Jews came to settle in Ethiopia, said
Gaffin, but added, "most people lliink that they look a
different route from Moses and Ihe others in Ihe Exodus
from Egypt." Because they were isolated from mainstream
Judaism, they adhere only lo ihe laws of the Torah, and
Ihcir religious rituals are influenced by those of other
Ethiopians. They don't have Bar Mitzvahs, Gaffin observed.
Gaffin, who recently returned from a irip lo Ethiopia,
said that the Ethiopian jews, called Falashas, are forbidden
lo emigrate by ihe government. During her irip, she said
she was warned the villages were off limits to tourists, •
However, Gaffin was able to find someone lo take her to
the villages, via a three day trip over Ihe Simiens mountains
on horses and mules.
Gaffin explained thai starting in the 15th century, Ihe
Falashas have come under attack from Christian and
Muslim forces, and were forbidden to own land. She explained that Falasha, translated, means "one who does nol
own land."
Gaffin observed that the Falshas arc now in an especially
precarious situation. Since the Marxist revolution in
Ethiopia In I974, Gaffin said, the Falashas have been
caught in the crossfire between the government and the
rebels. " I hey each thought the Falashas were on the other
side." She noted that large massacres of ihe Falashas have
taken place, and now Ihey are faced with potential annihilation.
In addition, she said, Ihe governor of the Gondar province, where most Falashas live, is anti-Zionist, and subjects them lo Indiscriminate imprisonment and torture.
Gaffin added that a program offering food and medical
aid has been suspended and reported finding problems of
malnutrition and disease among the group.'
2500 Falashas have managed to emigrate to Israel, Gaffin
estimated, and said many have acculturatcd quickly d u e
to their "fervent religious Zionism."
' .
The Falashas, she continued, accept everything the
Israelis leach, and some even completely give up the Ethiopian culture.
Bui many Israelis, Gaffin said, don't believe the Falashas
are Jews, because of their apparent intermarriages. Before
1975 Ihe Law of Return, which states that all Jews have the
right to live in Israel, was not applicable to the Falashas.
Gaffin said she Is now following what a Falasha in Israel
advised her to do: "Tell the world what is happening."
"The lack of atlention by Ihe Jewish community is horrendous," she said, adding that she is committed to getting
a movement going to educate people on the Falasha's
"holocaust."

Reagan reveals MX plans
Washington, D.C.
(AP) Wielding both stick and carrot, President Reagan proposed Monday to deploy the huge MX missile in a string ol
Wyoming silos, then invited the Soviet Union to take
several joint steps to abate fears of an accidental nuclcai
war,
"It still takes weapons to prevent war," Reagan said of
his option for the so-called dense-pack deployment of the
MX, a missile he rcchristcncd "the Peacekeeper." But he
declared "The United Slates wants deep cuts in the world's
arsenal of weapons."
The president proposed that the superpowers begin that
process with a concerted attempt to preclude the possibility
of accidental conflict. On that score, he proposed they tell
each other in advance of plans to test intercontinental
missiles or launch major military exercises, and suggested
" a broad-ranging exchange of basic data about our nuclear
forces."
In his nationally televised speech, Reagan said he hoped
to "remove suprise and uncertainty at the sudden appearance of such missiles on the warning screens of the two
countries."
And in support of his proposal to exchange information
about nuclear forces, Reagan said, "The more one side
knows about what the other side is doing, the less room
there is for suprise and miscalculation."
Tylenol campaign launched
New Brunswick, N.J.
(AP) Johnson &. Johnson has distributed more than 20
million Tylenol coupons worth $2.50 each to entice
Americans into replacing the painkiller capsules they threw
away in fear.
Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules will be back on store
shelves nationwide In new tamper-resistant packaging by
the end of December, three months after poisonings in the
Chicago area prompted many people to gel rid of their
Tylenol.
On Sunday, Johnson & Johnson began a S20 million
campaign to promote the product. The 20 million coupons
were inserted in Sunday newspapers, and the giant pharmaceutical firm intends to give out another 60 million
coupons on the next two Sundays, said Lawrence G.
Foster, vice president for public relations.
"The object is to replace the Tylenol thrown away
because of fear,' he said. "It's also to get Tylenol back in
the households."
Seven Chicago-area residents who look Extra-Strength
Tylenol capsules laced with cynadidc died last September,
prompting Johnson and Johnson to recall all Tylenol capnationwide.
The success of the promotional campaign will not be
known until after consumers begin redeeming the coupons.
Aspirin-free Tylenol had been the best-selling pain-reliever
in the nation before the poisoning.
Banks reduce lending rate
New York
(AP) Major banks cut their prime lending rale today by one
half a percentage point to 11.5 percent, the lowest since
September 1980.
On Friday, the Federal Reserve Hoard lowered its discount rate to a four-year low of 9 percent fri}m9.5 percent,
widely viewed as an indicator the Fed is giving closer attention to the stalled economy rather than maintaining its
strict grip on the money supply - and with it credit.
The Fed's cut in the discount rate was the sixth half-point
cut since July when the rate stood at 12 percent. The rate is
on overnight loans to member banks and other financial institutions.
Since July the prime lending rate has fallen from 16.5
percent.
Economic recovery doubted
Washington, D.C.
(AP) After a month of adding new figures and checking old
ones, government economists are reaching a discouragingly
familiar conclusion: no recovery yet for the national
economy.
The Commerce Department was releasing its revised
estimate of third-quarter gross national product today,
along with its first figures on U.S. companies' profits during that July-September period. No one was expecting good
news on either count.
In fact, some economists were guessing in advance the
revision would show inflation-adjusted GNP - the broadest
measure of U.S. economic activity - actually declining in
the third quarter rather than barely rising at the annual rate
of 0.8 percent estimated last month.
As a general rule, there would have to be solid gains in
real GNP for two straight quarters before there would be
wide agreement the recession had ended.

Freeze infiltration debated
Washington. D.C.
(AP) Two members of Congress are challenging NATO
Secretary-General Joseph Luns' claim - similar to President
Reagan's - that the nuclear weapons freeze movement In the
West is "strongly aided" by the Soviet Union,
And another congressman, Rep. Don Edwards, D-Calif.,
says he thinks the FBI improperly intruded into politics by
publicly bucking Reagan's contention that foreign agents
arc helping the freeze movement in the United States.
Edwards said Thursday he had no quarrel with the FBI's
investigating foreign agents who might be infiltrating the
freeze movement, but that the FBI is required to keep its information confidential.
Reagan asserted at a news conference last week that there
is "no question about foreign agents" being sent to the
United Stales to "help Instigate and help create and keep
such a movemenl going."
"Some new reporls from the secret services" showed
Western anti-nuclear campaigns were "strongly aided by
the Soviet Union, including financial support," said Luns,
NATO's lop civilian official.

Leaders to vote on contract
Pittsburgh
(AP) United Stcclworkers leaders reportedly agreed on a 10
percent pay out and other concessions to troubled
steelmakers as local union officers gathered to vote Monday on the shape of a new contract.
The union's executive board met privately Thursday to
discuss a new contract that would replace the current pact,
which expires in August 1983.
Board members refused to discuss the session, but one
local official said the panel had reached a tentative agreement.
"We've known about it the agreement for Ihrec'days.
We're opposed to concessions unless It means
employment," said Mike Bonn, president of USW Local
2227 at U.S. Steel Corp.'s Irvin Works. "We'wanl jobs,
not charity."
The New York Times reported the proposed contract
contained a 10 percent wage and benefit eul over 45 months
and a deferral of a cost-of-living raise that had been
scheduled for next month.
Steelmakers agreed to a profit-sharing plan and to contribute to depleted funds that have been paying benefits to
laid-olT workers, according to union and company officials
whom the Times did not identify.

Campus Center re-roofed to prevent leakage
By Ellen Santasiero
and Matt Nichols
STAFF WRITERS
New roofing is being installed on lop of
Ihe Campus Center as part of an ongoing
re-roofing project of the uptown campus.
Leaks in the present roofs may cause
damage lo the buildings during winter as
water seeps into Ihe concrete and freezes,
causing cracks in the structure, according to
Dennis Stevens, Dircclor of Ihe Physical
Plant.
"The roof (of the Campus Ccnlcr) has
leaked for years, and It's time to replace
it," said Stevens. Brown cracks and corroded plaster creep down the walls of Campus Center rooms 370 and 375 and ringed
water stains on the ceilings and carpels of
these rooms attest to this fact.
Plans and specifications for the project
were drawn up by the Physical Plant, and
bids were taken from private roofing contractors. According to Charles Estcy of the
Physical Plant, the lowest bid or $238,000
forwarded by B. Shcber and Sons was en-
thusiastically accepted because the project
had been estimated to cost over $400,000.
The actual work consists of tearing up
the old asphalt roof and replacing it with a
new rubber matting called Carlisle rubber,
said Stevens. Protective boarding will be
laid across the bare concrete; rubber matling will be installed on top of this, and then
a 3 1/2 inch layer of Insulating slyrofoam
held down by gravel will complete the new
roof.
The rubber roof should exceed the
asphalt's 18-year life expectancy because of
its elasticity. "Albany's variable weather,
exposure to ultra-violet light, and the shifting of Ihe building all contributed to the
cracking and breakdown of the asphalt
roof," said Ray Hemic, forman of Ihe
roofing crew. The new rubber roofing, he
said, can withstand these deteriorating conditions.
"Six buildings on campus have been topped with the new roofing over Ihe past few
years," Stevens said, referring lo the Social
Science, Humanities, Education, Physics,
Chemistry, and Biology buildings. Hemic
said that the library may be the next
building to receive a new roof, although it is
not up for bid yet. He also said that the
Campus Center job will take about four
months to complete, weather permitting.
The completion deadline is September I,
1983, but Hemic believes the project will be
finished in early spring.
"There is $20 million wrapped up in •
rehabilitation construction at SUNYA,"
said Stevens, "and because of austere
limes, this figure is 30 percent less than it
should be." Stevens noted a problem is the
limited budget allotted lo construction and
the simultaneous breakdown of the nation's
infrastructure. Most roads, bridges,
buildings, and communications hardware
were built around the same time and are all
wearing out and needing replacement at Ihe
same time.

New York
(AP) Gov.-elect Mario Cuomo says a stale commission's
suggestion that he appoint a criminal justice coordinator is
praiseworthy, important and just what he planned lo do all
along.
In a report issued Sunday, the commission, headed by
New York City lawyer Arthur L. Liman, called the state's
criminal justice system "feeble" and urged Cuomo to
a new cabinet-level position lo coordinate it.
The commission, appointed by Gov. Hugh Carey, condueled a 19-monih study of management In the stale's $3
billion-a-ycar criminal justice system and concluded I""1
the present system - involving police, prosecutors, courts,
prisons and probation departments - "is not led, is i'0'
managed and, as presently constituted, Is '""
manageable."
Cuomo, who pledged during his campaign to create such
a position, said the commission's suggestion "will be pa"
of my government," He said he planned lo crcnlc Ihe position nnd appoint his candidate for the job this week.
ihe country where resisters are facing charges, said Penny.
Penny pointed to a luw that will go into effect nexl
semester which will bar any student who has not signed up
willi the selective service from getting any financial aid.
SUNYA's Director of Financial Aid, Donald Whitlock,
could nol be reached for comment.
Persons eligible for the draft can obtain Information of
Ihe rules and regulations and possible alternatives regarding
selective service through Albany's Draft Counseling
Center.
The Center, located at 221 Central Ave., in the Social
Actions Offices in Albany, was set up in June 1982 and is
affiliated with the Albany Peace and Energy Council. Funding fbr the center comes from pledges from active
members and fund raising events such as the Holly Near
Concert arranged jointly by Social Actions Center and
SUNYA Peace Project. "We don't tell people what to do;
we just Inform them about what the alternatives arc," said
Darby Penny, a volunteer draft counselor at Ihe center.
In a recent decision handed down Tuesday Nov. 16, U.S.
District Court Judge Terry Halter ruled that the selective
service law was invalid on a technical ground. The case
against public resisler David Waytc was dropped by Judge
Halter on the grounds that the recent registration act was
enacted nine days loo soon.
Draft counselor Dave Miller celebrated the decision as n
victory, saying "it was a result of public pressure."
However, he cautioned, "It does not change anything. The
answer is that Ihe registration must simply cease."
There have been no indictments served to any Albany
area selective service resistors, according to Ruth Foster,
dircclor of the Social Actions Center. "People who do nol
sign up just get warning letters," she said.
"It is usually the public resistors like Wayle that get into
trouble," said Foster, explaining that the private resistors
usually just try lo slay oul of sight. The stale has a program
of reviesving the licenses of all eligible draftees to find oul
who has not signed up, said Penny, who dnted out that
failure to register is a violation of Ihe law, which carries a
sentence of up to five years in prison or a $10,000 fine or
both.
Over 300,000 men refused to register in the summer of
1980, and there are 700,000 draft resistors in the country at
WANTSTOUTO REGISTER FOR THE DRAFTffij
GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION CCCO
".•';,:.'.!'v:.:
The Draft Counseling Center is extremely necessary, said
Penny, since the laws regarding registration and conscientious objector sialus are complex. She explained that a person who wants to be a conscientious objector has lo have a
whole resume of personal recommendations by other people, such as ministers, lo be considered. If a person signs up
and then receives un induction notice, they have len days lo
prove conscientious objection, and Penny believes that by
this stage, there is not enough time lo make a case.
There are some religious groups who have automatic immunity such as Mcneniles and Quakers noied Penny, "but
a person has lo show association with one of these groups
thai goes back a substantial number of years," she said.
The Draft Counseling Ccnlcr plans lo siart a workshop
with Ihe National lawyers guild in January, according lo
Foster, to help educate lawyers on effective ways lo defend
selective service resistors in court. They are also planning
an informative lally on campus next semcstci 10 canvas student feeling about the service regulations, Penny said.
Actually, there are very few people who use the Draft
Counseling Center, said Penny. People are probably nol
afraid there will be u draft. "If conditions in Central
America gel much svorse, people may become concerned
and will start looking for help," she said, adding thai
"Central America has been compared to VielNaiu."
The Center has one part-time employee to oversee

At that point, Silber said, he went to

Silbcr said the mechanic then instructed

said, "You came into my bay. How would

"This is an absurd analogy," Silber later
commented.
Silbcr immediately called the Albany
Police who sent an officer to interview
Silber and the mechanic separately. According to Silbcr, the mechanic told the officer
that Silber was trying to avoid paying the
inspection fee. The officer informed Silbcr
that he could press charges of assault
against the mechanic, but he decided to
"drop it because Ihe police appearance at
the station should serve as a warning to the
mechanic not lo behave in that manner."
According to Officer Michael Smith of
the Albany Police Department, the incident is not part of police record "since the

Business School claims 'weeding out' a myth

Students are finding it increasingly difficult to gain entrance into the Business
School due to a practice that some call
"weeding o u t . "
This student-coined term describes a process by which business requirement courses
are made especially difficult in order to prevent students with lower grades from bi Ing
accepted Into the Business School.
However, Assistant to the Dean of the
Business School John Levato called
"weeding o u t " un inappropriate term and
an Illegitimate concept.
Levato believes some students have the
"ability to be successful at a course while
others do not. " 'Weeded o u t " implies that
people are selected or singled o u t , " he said,
adding that "students only competc'againsl
themselves."
Levato emphasized this point In a
booklet he authored entitled, Information
About Admission and Application to the
School of Business, in 1978 which provides
information to potential Business School
students gaining admittance to the university. The booklet, he pointed out, stales,
" T h e selection process is designed to select
students with the highest academic potential In the business or accounting programs,
consistent with the overall I nrollomcnl
limitations."
Business School professor Harold Cannon admitted " g o o d students are turned
away" from the Business School. He blamed SUNY budget cuts for leaving few faculty members available to the students, which
in turn has led to a decrease in the school's

Into other majors and things that are Intriguing to them.
"Students should work diligently, lake
good courses, and get a good education,"
Levato said.
"Students are here for an education, not
for n good grade point average," he said.
He added that he strongly encourages his
students to take liberal arts.courses so they
have something to fall back on " i f they're

Dean o f the Business School, Harvey

students will look for other options and

Class size in the Business School has
stabilized since an upward trend in enrollment in the I970's, and when Levato joined
the university in 1978, he set up a new set o f
guidelines to get into the Business School
which look effect in the fall of 1980.

" W e arc a new family of people, we have to
build our own history," she said.
Ross will also discuss the Amcga
Academy of Albany. The Academy is a

concerned black parents.
" T h e school,
K-12, concentrates on family history, family principles and helps students with their

Rumors have been floating around thai
school might close for the remainder of the
fall term, Brush said, but he doubled that
would happen.
Brush said the closing went quite
smoothly, the only problem being rescheduling of extra-curricular activities. Arrangements lo house and feed basketball

he Individuals, from Hoboken,

debut LP,Fields,
on Plexus
Records and It's a gem. Gene Holder's
Production is quite sparse, letting the
band's sound come through as honest
rather than artificial, as some overproduced debut LP's tend to sound. One gels the
feeling that this was recorded live in the
studio.
John
DeMasi
Brother and sister Doug and Janet
Wygal handle drums and bass respectively,
while Janet and guitarists Jon Klages and
Glenn Morrow lake care of vocals.
An upbeat rhythm section propels most
tunes while Ihe two guitars dance and hop
from left to right. Very appropriate dancing
music. The guitar sound is basic and clean,
without distortion or other special effects.
Leads are simple and catchy, and often
reminiscent of the Doors.
Most of the songs deal with interpersonal
relationships and or Intrapersonal emotions, "Hooks and Ladders" is a tune about
the frustration of desire and anticipation,
and the typical ineffectual method of deal
ing with such emotions, namely doing
nothing but whining Witness these lyrics:
"I'm tired of waiting on hooks and ladders
see my chances fade, do Ihey matter,..!
make the motion, just to bluff it" Furthermore, the opening lyrics of the song hint
that one may set oneself up to gel burned,
perhaps lo satisfy some subconscious selffulfilling prophecy:"Gel a notion, wanna
use It crazy itching, gotta scratch it 1 build
fire, to walk right through it life desire, like
to prove it, yeah". Side two opens wllh
"Walk By Your House", a song aboul clinging to a broken relationship, as sung by
the unfortunate recipient of the infamous
"Dear John" letter. The lyrics "Asleep in
your bed. I'm drunk in the field/I walk by
your house" reveal Ihe typical behavior of
someone hurling from rejection. However,
as we all know, Ihe best way to convalesce
from a broken heart is to dissociate one's
self from Ihe object of one's affection. This
can be quile difficult, as The Individuals
acknowledge with the lyrics "I know it's not
right, but I'm drawn here each night/1 walk
by your house," And yes Virginia, there is
that hope that things would resume Iheir
previous course with the closing lyrics "Do
you ever walk by my house?"
The most soulful song on the album, and
my personal favorite, is "Johnny's in the
Mines." Replete with psychedelic guitar
riffs and intelligent drumming, this song
deserves to be a hit on college radio stations across the country, It has the aura of
Ihe first Talking Heads album "Talking
Heads:77." Superficially the song Is about
.Johnny's sojourn in a mineshaft. bul I can't
help but feel thai poor Johnny's love life
parallels being trapped In a mineshaft as
the lights go out and the mine collapses on
him.
"Dancing with my eighty wives" is the*
single off ihe album The lyrics absolutely
baffle me, bul that's alright because I'm
usually too busy dancing to notice.
The Individuals recently made their way
up to Albany for their debut performance
in this city. The band had an addition, the
lovely Trlcia Wygal, who handled the
keyboards and a bit of percussion. Quite a
talented lot. those Wygals. The band did
most of the songs on the album, as well as
songs from the "Aquamarine" E.P. on
which Trlcia tap dances as an Intro to Ihe
song "Young and Dancing." Hopefully, It
won't be long before the Individuals
return.

Utopia will be going on tour lo promote
this new album. They are scheduled to perform a concert to be shown across the

One good point about Utopia is thai Ihey
do put on a very good show. When Ihey
played the Palace three years ago, lo promote "Aduentures in Utopia", they filmed
the concert to be shown in Great Britain,
Unfortunately they did no Rundgren solo
material. Bul the band played so well that it
wasn't missed much. Maybe this new

to wail and see.

Peacemaker death maker
"The Immense destructive power posed by the MX missile
. . . will make the arms race far more complex and
dangerous.
— Sen. Mark Hatfield IR-Oregon)
Congressional Record, July 25, 1979
resident Reagan dubbed the system "the
Peacemaker." In an old western of his he would I
have been more likely to call it "the Great
Equalizer." What he's trying to make seem less ominous is
the MX missle program he suggested to Congress and the
nation in n speech last night.
To carry the western analogy further, he used fancy color
graphics and fancy rhetoric to tell the American people that
The Other Guy has more nuclear shotguns and atomic sixshooters, and we've got to get a lot more so we'll be safe.
The Air Force has played with mobile missile launchers
since the post-Korean war era. The idea became less
popular in the 60s, and wasn't picked up again until formal
development began in 1972. After sorting through two
do/en different basing concepts, Carter decided to go with
the "race track" idea. That expensive and environmentally
suicidal plan died from lack of support.
Now Reagan wants the MX concept revived, in the
"dense pack" configuration. This plan would put 1,000
P
new atomic warheads on 100 of the most deadly accurate
nuclear missiles ever constructed. These would be tightly
packed in a strip of land near Warren Air Force Base in
Wyoming 14 miles long and one mile wide.
"The Peacemaker" is one of the most dangerous additions to the nuclear arsenal in decades. The governmentestimated cost of the missile program is $25 billion, and the
MX is just one part of the $1.6 trillion military buildup
Reagan has planned for the next several years.
The U.S. already has over 9,200 sttategic nuclear
warheads — the Soviets have only about 5,000. While the
Soviet Union has made strong gains in the number of
missiles, the warhead is what really spoils your day. The extreme accuracy of the MX will add first strike capability to
the nuclear force, and will present a knockout threat to
Soviet silos. This could force the Soviets to build more
missiles, and perhaps push them to adopting a "launch on
warning" policy. The new system can do nothing but Increase nuclear tensions.
It's time that U.S. negotiators sat down and seriously
discussed nuclear weapons reductions. All of the proposes
Reagan's representatives at (he arms control talks have
stressed reductions in land based missiles. The unfair proposals have ignored the fact that the U.S. hns many more
warheads, with a nuclear force stress on multiple-warhead
missiles. Also, (hey have glossed over the fad that 70 percent of the Soviet Union's missiles arc land based — hair of
the U.S.'s warheads are carried on hoard Invnncrablc submarines. The proposals have also forgotten that about a
third of the Soviet nuclear force isn't targeted at the U.S.
but at China. All of the proposals would have left the U.S.
off In a much stronger position, and the Soviet Union in a
subordinate position. It was never Intended that the Soviets
accept the proposals - - they were merely offered to give lip
service to what Reagan described in last night's address as
the administration's desire to gel "deep cuts in the world's
arsenal of weapons." What they have been offering is only
working to increase the fervor of the arms race.
The trillion-and-a-half dollars that Reagan is setting
aside for the return of the Cold War is desperately needed
elsewhere. Jobless benefits for thousands of workers
without work due to the Reagan recession are soon due to
expire, leaving a huge burden on the social services agencies. The welfare system can't support this new drnln. It's
already stretched to the limit.
The MX missile program, as presented by President
Reagan last night, is a dangerous, obscene waste of tax
money when it is so much needed for people.

To the Editor:
I would like to know why the sponsors or the Wallflower
Order allowed them to appear on this campus when the
Feminist Alliance and other sponsors knew two weeks
before the performance that Ihe dancers were in political
alliance with (he PLO. The Palestine l.ibcialion organization is a violent terrorist organization dedicated lo using
any and all methods, even the senseless and unnecessary
killing of innocent Israeli citizens, lo rorm a Palestinian

Ihe Wallllowcr Order distributes Anii-Scmilic leaflets called "Israel: The New Nazi State". I don't understand why
such a racist group who openly supports a terrorists
organization was permitted by their sponsors to appear
here at SUNY. And, why were they allowed lo hand out
hateful, fillhy leaflets? Where were Ihe groups who hi ought
them here when the dancers were doing (his? The article In
Tuesday's ASP said that Ihe sponsors found out about the
dedication two weeks before the performance dale, liven if
it was not known thai they gave out bigoted literature, the
very fuel thai the group supports Ihe Pl.O should have
caused them lo cancel ihe performance.
It is a terrible thing when a group is allowed to come to
this SUNY campus and spread ugly, hateful literature
directed against more (ban a Ihird of (his school. I can only
wonder who will be next, the Ku Klux Klnit?

Clarifying Marx
Education - getting by
It seems so vague, but I can remember my years in grammar and middle school so very well. Often "those were the
days" when I cared for everything but to learn. That v as
the time when I went to class in order to "gel by", smiled at
the teacher in order to "get over", and crammed for a lest
in order to "keep from going under". In retrospect, I'm
now just beginning lo realise all the potential thai was there
for me to just learn foi the sake of learning, This was a
period, in our intellectual growth, thai we as students were
capable of learning without having lo worry about looming
tuition increases and pending financial aid cutbacks. This
was a lime you could attain knowledge for knowledge's
sake - learn for the sake of learning.
Van Henri White
In grammar, middle, and high school we were all brought
up with the belief that education is the process of attaining
knowledge. We were further taught that the only way we
could comprehend that knowledge was lo ask questions
about the materials thai were set before us daily. And so
many of us in those early years of education round
ourselves asking questions dealing with the basic reading
writing, and arithmetic. And as we advanced through our
high school years we asked yet still more complex questions
dealing with the advanced physical and social sciences of
the world.
College came upon us and the ambiguity of its world
made us fantasize about all the potential there was to learn if learning is what we had in mind. Some of us had expectations that our storehouses of knowledge would be expanded to umhought of heights. By usking an endless array of
questions we thought we might bolter understand the complexities of the world and the perplexities of its past.
However, it is on a somber note that most college
students find themselves asking a different type of question. Instead of asking the traditional questions of
academia, college students are compelled to ask questions
essential lo their mere survival in (he institutions we call
universities and colleges.
No longer Is it sufficient to ask what did it cost the
American Revolutionaries to declare their independence in
1776, we mus'. also ask what are the costs we must bare in
order to continue our education in 1983. Many freshman
college students, instead of asking who was Ccascr Chcvez,
Daniel Hale, or Earl Warren, are asking how much more
will tuition go up because Chancellor Wharton, Governor
Carey and President Reagan tell us it is not "cost effective"
to give a quality education at a low cost..
And many sophomores and juniors instead of asking
"shall I take Algebra, Geometry, or Trigonometry" arc
asking how many times shall our Student Association taxes
be multiplied and why is student political strength so divided. And many seniors and graduate students instead of
looking to our future with interest are compelled lo ask
how shall 1 pay the interest on the loans that 1 received
while trying lo "expand my mind". Many of these students
feel thai instead of getting ahead they have actually fallen
behind. Like other college students they realize that these
questions are a far cry from the traditional questions of
academia that were prevalent in grammar and high school.
Nonetheless, Ihese questions arc indeed intriguing and
our intellectual growth is made contingent upon their
answers. But one is compelled to wonder whether a student
can actually learn in an environment where he/she must
worry about everything else but intellectual growth. With
this conclusion I have often thought I am reacting to my
university education the same way I did to my prc-collcgc
education, if you remember "those were the days" when I
cared for everything but to learn. But now there is a difference; I go to financial aid in order "to gel by" for
another year, smile in order "to get over" my fear of the
future, and work hard only "to keep my grade point
average from going'under." I only hope and pray that student, administrator, and politician will realize that wc arc
here to learn-to attain knowledge for knowledge's sake. •

To Ihe Editor:
In his article on Marxism (ASP Nov. 12), Mr. Robert
Martiniaro bemoaned the general lack of knowledge and
then, himself, made the surprising statement that, "Marx
envisioned personal and political freedoms within Ihe
framework of Marxism, and Lenin and Trotsky implemented those freedoms after the revolution." He went
on lo say that it was Stalin who "effectively, destroyed
those freedoms."
The; totalitarian character of Russian socialism was evident long before Stalin came to power and indeed, many
years before (he communist takeover of the country. It was
this fact which led Marx to resign from the communist party when Russian influence became controlling.
Shortly after the communist counter-revolution which
crushed (he liberal government which followed the fall of
the Tsar, Lenin permitted exactly one clection-in Moscow.
Although his opponents were harassed and obstructed,
they defeated him soundly. Lenin promptly suppressed Ihe
election and no free or open election was ever allowed
again. It was also Lenin who reincarnated the tsarisl secret
police with the creation of the dreaded CHEKA. The term
"chekitsky" is still used today to describe members of Ihe
KGB.
Totalitarian socialism or, or to use the appropriate
generic term, fascism, was firmly established by Lenin from
the outset. While Stalin may have been the most powerful
of the modern tsars and, possibly, more ruthless than
Lenin, he did not have to make any changes in the system
or in the ideology he had inherited from Lenin and Trotsky.

Clean colonists
To the Editor:
I would like lo call attention to the current cleaning situation on Colonial Quad. The amount of limes our
bathrooms are cleaned has been cut, especially on the floors
in the lowrises which have community facilities. Budget
cuts have been offered as an excuse for this unsanitary condition, but there is no acceptable excuse for these circumstances. Something must be done immediately, either
by filling the gaps existing in Ihe cleaning stafr or by increasing the number of times the bathrooms arc cleaned.
Will it take an outbreak of body lice or other parasites
before action is taken? The health of the student should not
be sacrificed under any circumstances. 1 believe our dorm

Pragmatic cynicism
To the Editor:
From 12,000 miles away it would be considered brash to
offer advice on how an issue should be dealt with at
SUNYA; however, I hope firs! to be refuted, and then
after lo be thought a meddling no-good. A reversul of this
process would only cause me lo write more letters, which
I neither have time nor the editorial page has space.
I hear that Ihe ROTC issue is, us a matter of practicality,
to be reduced to an issue or sexual discrimination. For
those with a pragmatic bent ibis would be thought the
wisest means. However, to accept this approach (and this is
the reason lor which I do not) one must assume first and
iprimarily that all people are naturally stupid, on two
counts. First, they are too slupid to understand more fundamental arguments of Academic Freedom (I will not claim
they are my arguments, Plato and Milton said the same
thing lonR before, (hough last year I put them In a more
simplistic rorm), that is that ROTC conflicts with the
ideals of education. Second, that they arc too stupid to
recognize that what is ostensibly an argument calling for
the removal of ROTC from the univesity is in I'nel only an
argument that ROTC should be improved in Ihis one facet,
that is, it should allow gays in. This is lo say that Ihe
pragmatisls must assume that (heir own adherents and the
"other side" are loo stupid lo recognize thai the argument
they use is Hawed.
Ultimately, when the University Senate convenes lo vole
on ROTC il should, I believe, though the wording may be
diffcicnt, center its discourse on a bill of this nature:
Whereas, the ROTC program Is externally controlled, i.e.
taught by professors who do not hold university appointments and do not enjoy academic freedom as it Is ordinarily
understood, and whereas, Ihe ROTC curriculum taken as a
whole does not, In Us substance and goals, deserve lo be included in the course offering of the Slate University of New
York at Albany.
fie it resolved: That the University Senate requests ihe'
President to:
1. Withhold academic credit from any courses offered by
the Reserve Officer's Training Corps at the end of Ihe Current Academic Year.
2. Requests the University to terminate the faculty appointment of the present instructor of these courses at the end of
the current academic year and to allow no further such appointments.
3. Request the University to cease Ihe allocation of space to
the Reserve Officer's Training Corps in the University gymnasium which is presently being used for office space and
the teaching of courses, and that this will be implemented at
the end of Ihe current academic yeur.
•/. Request the University lo withdraw the description of the
Reserve Officer's Training Corps program from the
Undergraduate Bulletin.
When, and only so long as, the opponents of ROTC set
aside their "pragmatic cynlclsnV'.-thclr cynical belief that
only the catchy, the easy arguments are capable of persuading ihe siudeni and faculty body--and when the opponents of ROTC really try to understand the fundamental
issue, this is when the battle will be won. Noble ends require nobel means.

Arbitrary cuts
To Ihe Editor:
I am a disgruntled member of Ihe academic community
who believes lhal il is high lime that concerned students
speak out against the Intolerably narrow-minded policies
which the administration adheres to. The policies which I
find most offensive are tltose regarding the allocation of
monetary resources.
I agree thai the current global recession must necessarily
impose restraints upon spending and thai it is a difriculi
(usk to ihen delegale where these restraints should be applied. However, il appears that "budget cuts", if you will,
here at SUNY Albany, have been applied in a purely arbitrary fashion. At first glance, il becomes apparent when
one delves farther into the mire ot (he administration's
policy-making idiosyncrnclcs, however, that there is a subtle, common thread - perhaps a method to Ihis madness?
Yes - the subordination of academic priorities lo those or
an economic nature. It is clear lhal the administration has
chosen a path which dictates the expenditure of time,
energy and precious resources for those activities which are
more pocket-expanding titan mind-expanding. One example of (his injustice is manifest in the distribution of the
workforce on campus. One simple solution might be lo
employ those eager traffic violation dispensers more gainfully. I am sure we are all acquainted with their tireless efforts, particularly noticeable in the early morning hours as
they patiently await the stroke of 8:.1() a.m., Ihcir motors

There is one fact amidst all Ihis disorder which is often,

IRP to streamline budget-sacrifice education ?
- • F r o n t Page
there should be four university centers.
While some feel that building fewer centers
would have been cumbersome, drawn
students away from smaller campuses and
competed unfairly with private colleges,
others claim that having four centers
prevents SUNY from developing a
"Berkeley of the East."
The slow '70s
After the '70-71 state fiscal crunch, the
universities' progress was slowed
dramatically. Some campuses were given
choices of what building could be had.
While funding for the State University
has been increasing during the last decade,
SUNY officials say that the increases have
not kept pace with inflation or increases in
enrollment. Furthermore, they say, proportionately more money has been spent on
university hospital scrvics than non-hospital
academic units.
According to the SUNY Office of
Business and Finance, 53 percent of SUNY
funds now support student costs, such as
teachers and libraries. In the '74-75 school
year, the figure was 57 percent.
These figures arc compounded by inflation and the highest SUNY enrollment ever,
so fewer instructors and less supplies arc

DAN BICKER NEW PALTZ ORACLE
C h a n c e l l o r W h a r t o n addreases Trustees
MRP aims lo combine planning and budgeting over a five-year "rolling horizon"
serving more students, SUNY administrators note.
In the same period, hospital operations'
share of funding jumped from 7.4 percent
to 12.8 percent. Positions for authorized
non-hospital operations dropped from
31,306 to 29,396 as hospital operations
positions jumped from 2,845 to 4,512. This
Is a decrease of 1,910 non-hospital operations positions and an increase of 1,667
hospital operations positions.
Also reduced since the '74-75 academic
year is the percentage of operating funds
supplied by the stale. In '74-75, 88 percent
of SUNY operating expenses were paid by
state purpose funds, money collected by the
state through taxes and fees. By last year,
the figure was 77.8 percent. According to
Chancellor Wharton, last spring's budget
and the governor's refusal to release some
SUNY funds put the slate funding at 72.8
percent.
The reduction in funding levels has been
offset by increases in tuition and dormitory
room rent, as well as the imposition of fees,
such as the $10 course add charge.
Dorm room rem, which was $325 per
semester in 1978 lor u double occupancy
iroom, has been Increased to $625 per
semester. Tuition has been raised from
$375 per semester to $525 since 1978.
Multiphase Rolling Plan
Chancellor Wharton has expressed concern about the effects of increases in student costs and decreases in student aid.
"The continuing erosion of our ability lo
provide access-low cost access, and lo high
quality services-casts a lengthening shadow
across the State University's very reason for
existence," Wharton wrote during lust spring's budget struggle.
The SUNY Office of Business and
Finance has projected a shortfall of
$120-160 million by 1984 if SUNY continues to receive its current share of money
spent on state education and if inflation
continues al nine percent. This means that
SUNY must cut expenses, including faculty
salaries, this amount to slay out of the red.
In view of this, SUNY administrators feel
planning and budgeting should be meshed.
"We need to develop a means," wrote
Associate Vice Chancellor for Policy
Analysis Thomas M. Freeman in 1980, "of
not just cutting costs, but of defining institutional priorities and of making a
deliberate choice to abolish or reduce some
programs in order to free up the resources
needed to strengthen those that are now
more central to the missions of each campus."
Wharton's answer Is the Multiphase Rolo
ing Plan, introduced late in 1980. MRP (It
rhymes with burp) calls for combining planning and budgeting lor each fiscal year
while setting a five year "rolling horizon"
— a general goal of where Ihe campus is
headed that is adjusted each year.
The three parts of MRP allow campus
program changes, trades and affiliations
between campuses and "campus mission
changes and system reconfigurations,"
which could include campus closings,
although Wharton calls such u nio\c
"politically impossible."
MRP's believers and skeptics agtec thai a
plan is necessary, although some fear that
MRP may mean some campuses becoming
more specialized, offering fewer programs
und trimming liberal arts, which are not as
greatly demanded as career oriented programs, such as computer science and
business.
Governor not listening
There is some concern that ststc
budgelcrs arc not paying attention to
SUNY's priorities formed through MRP.
"This year (the goicrnor's budgcters)
just didn't pay attention to our priorities,"
Executive Vice Chancellor Donald D.
O'Dowd said. "That could happen for a
couple of years."
O'Dowd said SUNY must teach the
legislature and the governor's office about
MRP. "There's a major education job to
be done," he said, "and that can't be done
in one year.

Director Robert Evans said comparing lists of applicants and

St. Lawrence earns big time status in Division III
' IBM
By Mel Reisner
ASSOCIATHO MIUSS
The biggest loolball game in the
history of Si. Lawrence University
will be played in a high school
stadium.
If that doesn't give you an idea of
life In the NCAA's Division III,
consider Ihc fact lhal St. Lawrence
Coach Andy Tallcy was surprised
when a crowd at Division II Merchant Marine Academy ihis year
made so much noise his players had
trouble heating the audibles of
quarterback Mark Ferranlc.
"Usually (here's jusl the sound
of a dog or two barking in the
distance," he said. "You inevitably
have two or three dogs on Ihc field
In Ihe course of a Division III
game."
One more example: By getting
past undefeated Auguslana this
Saturday, the Saints would qualify
to play on national television in the
Division 111 finals and take in about
$250,000 in television revenue.
Told of the television lake, Talley's
reaction was, "Holy cow. Arc you
sure. It's thai much?"
Recruiting from Canton suffers
from being "a four-hour drive lo
anywhere" sophislicaled prep football is played. Hut Ihe splendid
isolation of the academically
superior institution also works for a
recruiter-offering adventuresome
players a chance lo leave home.
"We recruit vigorously because
of Ihe location, We can recruit out
of New York slate because almost
any kid we want is four or five
hours away anyway," the 38-yearold Hryn Mawr, Pa., native said.
Another fact of football life in
the North Country is lack of attention. Abbie Hoffman spent seven
years underground and undetected
just a stretch down Ihe Si.
Lawrence River in Ihe Thousand
Islands, so what can a football
player expect?
Some have to be hardened lo the
idea they'll gel less publicity than
I hey did in high school.
"You can't even find our scores
in most of the major newspapers,"
Tallcy said.
Bui with Ihe problems, Ihe job
also has iis rewards.
Division III allows no grants-inaid, so Tallcy gels lo rub shoulders
with true sludent-alhleies-scholars
who happen to be good al sporls.
And he gels lo keep his belief in
football as an ennobling and
enriching activity for young men.

Los Angeles, Calif.
Prank Hawkins slashed one yard
for a touchdown with 5:54 remaining Monday night, capping a Los
Angeles comeback from a 24-0
deficit and giving the Raiders a
28-24 National Football League victory over Ihe San Diego Chargers.
The Raiders thus made a successful regular—season home debut
at the Los Angeles Coliseum despite
being thoroughly outplayed for
most of the first half. A superior
court jury decided last May that
the team had the right to move from
Oakland lo Los Angeles, which it
did during Ihc summer.
The Raiders, 3-0, and the
Chargers, 1-2, were the final iwo
NFL teams to rciurn lo action
following the 57-day players'
strike. The other 26 teams played
Sunday.
Los Angeles won despite the fact
lhal San Diego quarterback Dan
Fouls passed for more than 300
yards for the 26th lime in his
10—year NFL career, equaling Ihe
record of Johnny Unilas.
Fouls finished with 25 completions in 42 attempts for 357 yards.
The Chargers look their 24-0 lead on

their first games in two months this

"A lot of owners didn't want the

I picked what I thought were eight
teams that could rise up and have
better years than the "experts"
thought they would. Those eight
were Oregon, South Florida and
Texas A &. M, who did nothing to
justify my faith in them, UNLV,
NC State and San Francisco, who
did a little but not enough, Georgia
and Houston, Hugh Durham's
Bulldogs were my choice to go all
the way, but faltered in mid-season
and wound up in the NIT, losing to
Oklahoma in the semi-finals. The
Houston Cougars finished their
NCAA Selection Committee
Therefore, they have that extra incentive. They also have all five
starters returning, so the talent is
also there. Pat Kennedy has proven
in his brief tenure as Gael mentor
(hat he can certainly coach, do it
would seem that the Gaels have all
the ingredients to go a long way In
March. The icing on the cake could
be the dominating duo of guard
Steve Burtt and forward Gary SprIngeer, two outstanding players.
CI.EMSON - Bill Foster's Tigers
lost two heart-breaking games to
Virginia last season, but they lose
only center Horace Wyatl from that
group, and should be vastly improved this year. Clcmson has never
won an ACC title, and probably
won't this year, since Virginia still
has Ralph Sampson, but they will
be a force to be reckoned with In
the NCAA's.
CREIGHTON - With Bradley,
Tulsa and Wichita State all hurting
from losses from last year's teams,
Willis Reed's Bluejays arc bolstered
by the addition of seven-foot center
Benjamin, one of the nation's prize
freshmen, and also Francis Fletcher, Hawaii High School Player of
the Year. While Crcighton's best
days look to be a couple of years
down the road, Benjamin could
lead the Jays to an early MVC title
because of the questionable status
of the league's usual powers.
EVANSVILLE - The Purple Aces
were 23-6 last year, which finishes
off a very touching comeback
which saw this prgram reach the
NCAA's only four years after a
tragic plane crash wiped out the entire learn. This year, Dick Walters'
team have a very strong group of incoming freshmen which will
develop under the leadership of
leading rcboundcr Richie Johnson.
Look for Evansvillc to return to the
NCAA's again this season.
ILLINOIS - Coach Lou Henson has
quietly turned Illinois Into one of
the country's' finer basketball
teams. After a season In which the
, Big 10 faltered badly in post season
play, we look for Illinois to contend
for a national title because of a
super recruiting effort which netted
six prize freshmen, including 6-10
Effrcm Winters. Scouts say Winters
is the super type of big man who
can immediately create a large problem for opponent. If that assertion
holds up, Illinois will be a force to
reckoned with,
TCU-The Killer Frogs of Texas
have long been dormant In the national sports spotlight. Last year,
though, Coach Jim Killlngsworth
led the Horned Frogs to a 16-13
mark, 9-7 in the SWC. TCU seems
to have a good blend of youth and
experience, as the five senior
starters are joined by 6-9 freshman
Paul Kapturklcwicz. Previous to
this season, TCU's only recent
notorcity has been the fact that
Oakland's catcher Jeff Newman at-
* Women's Track and Field
Organizational/Interest Meeting
tended the Fort Worth school 13
years ago, making him baseball's
only Horned Frog. This year TCU
should put a new chapter into their
history books.
MISSISSIPPI STATE - Bob
Boyd's first year In Starkvillc was
not one of great success, but If you
look carefully, you saw a gradual
improvement that made Miss State
a competitive group at the close of
last season. This year, Boyd has
more depth throughout his club,
which should help get the Bulldogs
get through the tough SEC In good
enough shape to make the NCAA.
DEPAUL - With Terry Cummings
and Skip Dillard departed, many
people think that Ray Meyer's Blue
Demons will fall from the ranks of
the national powers. DcPaul has a
much tougher schedule which includes a tournament with Arizona
State and Texas Tech. Look for
DcPaul to lost 5 or 6 during the
season, then finish with a rush and
get Meyer his first NCAA title.

The Albany Stale men's junior
varsity basketball team christened
its 1982-83 season with a six point
victory, 72-66, over the College of
St. Rose here at University Oym
Saturday night.
According to Head Coach Barry
Cavanaugh, a former Great Dane
star, the victory wasn't as impressive as he would have liked, but
it was important.
"It was our first game. We've
been scrimmaging varsity, and the
guys really got up for it. There was
a tendency on both our purls to be a
little lax on defense though," said
Cavanaugh. "St. Rose was very
aggressive-it made it really difficult
to recapture that intensity."
St. Rose controlled the first hair
tempo with hot outside shooting
from Steve McGlocklin and Wayne
McDonald, who scored ten points a
piece in the half.
The Danes opened the game In a
man-lo-man defense which proved
to hurt them as seven of St. Rose's
first ten shots hit the bottom of the
net,
St. Rose, now 2-2, showed the experience of their first three games in
the first half by exposing soft spots
in Albany's weak side defense.
Dane Freshman James Jones' dunk
brought Albany to within three at
the five minute mark but the Danes
headed for the locker room down
five at half time.
Starting the second half down
36-31, Coach Cavanaugh, along
with his assistant Randy Gray, were
able to point out the flaws In the
Albany defense that started the
game. Better half court defense,
and 16 second half points from
6'3" freshman center Michael Toddy help close a 48-39 gap with
twelve minutes to go.
"I was pleased with our halfcourt defense and our rebounding
The Albany State women's
basketball team lost its season
opener to the College of St. Rose
Saturday in University Gym, 60-52.
Albany's lineup featured many
women playing their first collegiate
game. "It may have been a case of
first game jitters," said Dane coach
Marl Warner. "The team's lack of
composure cost us many crucial
buskcls in the second half."
The Danes held their own
throughout the first half of the
game, maintaining a 24-19 lead at
the close of the first 20 minutes.
Although they were troubled by
many turnovers, poor outside
shooting and in stopping CSR's fast
breaks, they kept their offensive

note for Capital Punishment this
season was a 19-13 loss to the Big
Guys.
Capital Punishment had an
outstanding season scoring an
average of 25.7 points per game,
while only giving up an average of
8.1 points per game. Quarterback
Dave Napp was named Most
Valuable Player for Capital
Punishment. He led his team with
17 touchdown passes and only three
interceptions in 12 games.
Napp was helped in the back field
by runningbacks Jeff Baker and
John Esposito. Baker scored 156
touchdowns and Esposito scored 13
touchdowns respectively. The of-
fensive line was led by Mike Bailey,
Steve Bailey and Lou Capozzi.
These three also made up the
autstanding defensive line. Mike
Bailey was named Capital Punishment's Defensive-Most-ValuablePlayer. Linematc Lou Capozzi had
this to say about Bailey, "he is just
awesome, our anchor on the defensive line."
Credit also has to go to Steve
Bailey who was hurt during the
season, but came back to play a
strong championship game.
"It just shows that our practices
paid off. We practiced twice a week
in preparation for a game." Capozzi also added.

Albany team captain, Robin Gibson, led a Dane surge, scoring two
of her ten points. Freshman, Raincy
Lcsanc, then scored a layup to
make the score 30-25.
However, sparked by a steal of a

game for us," Cavanaugh remarked.
Excellent performances were
turned In by Jeff Bcler, who replaced Jason Hurly at the point after
Hurly fouled out, and Toddy, who
finished the game with 21 points.
"Jeff has had his problems In the
pre-season but he's come along very

"Before the game I said lo Bill Scanlon
(Union College head basketball coach) that
I thought this game would probably go
three overtimes," said Albany Slate head
coach Dick Suuers. "And it did."
Entering the third overtime session, the
two Capital Districi rivals were tied at 68
poinls a piece. Senior guard Joe Clinton,
the tournament's Most Valuable Player
with 22 poinls and live assists, opened the
scoring with his patented pull-up jump
shot. Albany Slate center John
Dieckelman, who struggled through his
worst tournament as u Great Dane, came
alive in Ihe final period. He had two consecutive buckets to keep Albany in pace
with Ihc Di tclimcn but Dieckelman was
called for u foul underneath the hoop to
send Dutchman Kevin Bartlett to the foul
line.

first of his two shots lo pul Union ahead to

Albany did not quil in its attempt to
regain Ihe lead. Dane Mike Gallo drove to
the basket and drew a two-shot foul from
Union forward Jell Felgclson. Gatio missed both chances and Union reared back
with a Clinton bucket to make Ihe score
75-72.
Clinton's counterpart Dan Croutler
returned Ihe favor by driving lo the hoop
himself lo bring Ihe Danes back within one
poinl. For Ihc sophomore guard, il was two
of his game leading 24 poinls. Croulier also
had 10 assists, and Iwo steals earning him a
well deserved spot on the All-Tournament
team.
"He's quick," said Clinton of Croulier.
"He's the quickest guy I've ever played
against."
"1 think I refined my game this year,"
said Croulier. "Everyone played a good

Editor's note: Ihe following is part one of
a Iwo pari in-depth report on the State
University of New York.
By Michael P. Dunuhy
S1AU PRESSSERVICE
"The academic year 1970-71 was one of
acute and sometimes painful adjustment.
While tens of thousands . . . sought admission to the Stale University. . . . we were
confronted with a fiscal crisis of fairly
'.eriousproportions. Abruptly, the University was forced to reassess its future goals
and reduce several ongoing programs.
"Such rapid revaluation created considerable uncertainty and new tensions.
Almost overnight, it seemed, the Stale
University, like most oilier institutions of
higher learning, ended an era of rapid
era wth and sustained support and en tered a
period of more measured growth and more
cautious funding."
— SUNY Chancellor Ernest L. Boyer
from the 1970-71 Chancellor's Report
Chancellor Boyer could not have known
how bad things would be in 1970-71 — or
how bad they were to get. The "new
realities," as Boyer called them were a
shock after the State University's rapid ebpansion in the precccding two decades.
When the State University was formed in
1948 to serve New York State's returning
veterans, the possibilities
for the nation's first
SUNY
"decentralized" state
university
seemed
Budget
limitless. With Nelson A.
Rockefeller as governor when the slate's
"gentlemen's agreement" nol to compete
with the slate's private colleges ended, Ihe
funds that poured into SUNY construction
and development it seemed, would never
end.
The inflation and recessions of ihe '70s,
however, have tightened the slate budget.
The Slate University has seen Ihe end of
those seemingly limitless possibilities and
has been left with fewer and more difficult
decisions.
Itapld growth
In 1946, a commission established by the
Inset: Chiton Wharton; SUNY Central building
Inflation and recession of the 70's have tightened the stale budget, leaving SUNY with some difficult decisions*
state legislature found that less than half of
the stale students ranking In the top quarter
of their high school classes would attend
college. The cost of education was a major
faclor, the commission found. At the time,
New York was the only slate then in the
country without a public university. Today, tlie 64 campus system is the nation's
largest.
While 96 percent of SUNY's 380,000
students are state residents, three of five
slate high school graduates attending college leave the slate, according lo the SUNY
Chancellor Clifton R. Wharlon, Jr. Yel, he
emphasizes, Ihcrc is a SUNY campus within
50 miles of nearly every slate resident, "and
I don't know of a subject that you can't
sludy at some Institution."
The growth of SUNY was limited in the
'50s by a "gentleman's agreement" with
the state's private colleges and universities.
The agreement allowed SUNY lo grant
liberal arts degrees only from the college at
Binghamton. SUNY did, however, found
the upstate and downstatc medical centers
and a number of community colleges.
With Rockefeller as governor in Ihe '60s,
development of the Slate University accelerated. Founded were Ihe four university centers al Buffalo, Albany, Stony Brook
and Binghamton, most of the 30 community colleges, half a do/en agricultural and
technical colleges, several specialized colleges, and a handful of statutory colleges,
which are operated, folntly by SUNY and
the private colleges at which they are
located. A do/en colleges of liberal arls
and sciences, including Fredouia Stale
University, were developed mainly from existing teacher's colleges. In ten years,
SUNY enrollment quadrupled.
In two decades, $3.3 billion had been
spent constructing the university system —
an accomplishment 77te New York Times
has called "one of the most dramatic feats
in American higher education."
The 77met also called SUNY's design "a
combination of happenstance, politics and
occasional planning," citing Ihc location of
campuses on already existing private college
campuses or where a community college
sponsor could be found, and political
reasons for spreading campuses
geographically around the state.
An arguable result of litis "decentralization" has been what some argue is a "leveling effect." Because there are so many
campuses, the argument goes, Ihe politics
of giving more to one campus than another
will prevent any one campus from being
"great." Willi current slate underfunding,
Ihe argument is now used to predict Ihc
deterioration of the entire system, since all
campuses must "suffer equally."
Another issue often argued is whether

The pliglil of black Ethiopian Jews who have been
persecuted for centuries and who long for immigration io
Israel was revealed last night lo a group of 30 people
in a Campus Center meeting room by JSC-Hillel's guest
speaker Barbara Gaffin, as pan of her continuing effort to
educate and motivate people 10 action.
No one is sure how Jews came to settle in Ethiopia, said
Gaffin, but added, "most people think thai they took a
different route from Moses and Ihe others in the Exodus
from Egypt." Because they were isolated from mainstream
Judaism, they adhere only lo the laws of the Torah, and
their religious rituals are influenced by those of other
Ethiopians, They don't have Bat Mitzvalts, Gaffin observed.
Gaffin, who recently returned from a I rip lo Ethiopia,
said that ihe Ethiopian jews, called Falashas, are forbidden
lo emigrate by the government, During her trip, she said
she was warned Ihe villages were off limits lo tourists.
However, Gaffin was able lo find someone to lake her to
Ihe villages, via a three day trip over the Simlens mountains
on horses and mules.
Gaffin explained Ihai starting in the ISlh century, Ihe
Falashas have come under attack from Christian and
Muslim forces, and were forbidden lo own land. She explained thai Falashu, translated, means "one who does nol
own land."
Gaffin observed that the Falshas are now in an especially
precarious situation. Since Ihc Marxist revolution in
Ethiopia 111 1974, Gaffin said, the Falashas have been
caught ill Ihe crossfire between the governmenl and the
rebels. " I'hey each thought the Falashas were on Ihe other
side." She noted Ihal large massacres of Ihe Falashas have
taken place, and now Ihey are faced will! potential unnihllalion.
In addition, she said, Ihe governor of the Condor province, where most Falashas live, is anii-Zipnisl, and subjects Ihem lo indiscriminate Imprisonment and torture.
Gaffin added thai a program offering food and medical
aid lias been suspended and reported finding problems of
malnutrition and disease among the group.'
2500 Falashas have managed io emigrate to Israel, Gaffin
estimated, and said many have acculiurated quickly due
to their "fervent religious Zionism."
'.
The Falashas, she continued, accept everything the
Israelis leach, and some even completely give up Ihe Ethiopian culture.
Bui many Israelis, Gaffin said, don't believe the Falashas
are Jews, because of their apparent intermarriages. Before
1975 the Law of Return, which slates that all Jews have the
right to live in Israel, was not applicable to Ihc Falashas.
Gaffin said she is now following what a Falasha in Israel
advised her lo do: "Tell the world what is happening."
"Tlie lack of attention by tlie Jewish community is horrendous," she said, adding that she is committed to getting
a movement going to educate people on the Falasha's
"holocaust."
