Vice President for Finance and Management Edward Doty upheld his decision to close the Coop as of today, rejecting a compromise proposed by SA to work with the School of Management in handling the bookkeeping. ■’We've acted responsibly and in good laith. said SA Director for Student Activities Doug Cohen. -We're trying all the legal means in the University." He indicated that should these means fail, court action of some kind would be considered. SA representatives will otter Keller the same plan presented to Doty. The plan specifically called for one or two accounting students to receive work-study for keeping the Coop's financial records. Misunderstanding Accounting lor a S200.000 business would resume.’’ said SA a student's excellent on hxrk Steve Schwartz. for Student Affairs Director Improperly kept financial statements was one reason Doty cited for closing the Coop This, “a from to Cohen. resulted according misunderstanding" between former Coop worker Dave Parker, and Norton Hall Director James Gruber. ihe Coop's operation, specified when ii was formed, called tor “monthly" financial statements and receipt records. However, the Coop was allegedly told by Gruber that semi-annual statements would be sutficient. "Whose fault it is we don't know." said Cohen. "To run a Coop, you have to be creative, added Schwartz. "Keeping books is methodical. Having an accounting student doing it. a methodical person, we think would be a great compromise. Carl Cavage. owner ot a chain ol record stores in Buffalo, prompted Doty's decision by submitting a formal complaint that the Coop was unlaii competition, since it is run in a tax-suppoitcd Guidelines toi bv Ketter in 1971 Angered students have reacted to the complaint by boycotting Cavages' store in I he University Plaza and circulating petitions to keep the Coop open. Tuesday night, all the store’s windows were smashed. The petitions being circulated by SA. according Schwartz and Cohen, will determine how the student body teels about the Coop's continued operation, and garner student support, providing a base tor possible student “mobilization. Cobcn charged that Doty "does not understand how a S200.000 a year business can run on sheer energy." and student enthusiasm. “It seemed from the students' point ot view that Mr. Doty did not refute most ol our arguments, he said. “We raised the question that when it was small, it was considered legal When it was one table in the Union, no one complained." he noted. to Too big Doty’s main point ol contention, they both agreed, was simply that the Coop is "too big. It has been suggested, they said, that the ( oop either move to a location off campus, or go under the auspices of the Faculty Student Association (FSA). However. Schwartz said moving the Coop out ol Norton Hall "defeats the purpose." “The whole excitement of the thing comes from the fact that the Coop is a student service, on campus, run by students.' he said. Concerning FSA which runs Food Service and the University Bookstore. Coop representative Bruce Insana said, "We re wary of the profit-making urges of the FSA." SA lawyer Richard Lippes, did not accompany representatives to the meeting, although lie has advised the Coop and SA all through the controversy, and continues to do so The issue of the Coop's connection with Transconiinent Records was not a major one at the conference with Doty. Cohen said. The main issue was that the Coop had grown too hig. and too successful "It it hadn't become successful, this problem would never have come up. Schwartz, said. �Asante reappointed Attica trial Attica defendants Frank Smith (aka Big Black), Herbert X.

Apparently yes, claimed Lesley Kolsky to a small audience in Norton Hall last Tuesday. The lecture was part of Krael Awareness week Kolsky. who is a student at this University, spent over a year in Israel observing child-rearing on kibbutzim. She began by discussing the foundation of the kibbutz movement because "the basic attitudes and philosophies of the original founders are stressed in kibbutz education Close parent ties However, parents still maintain a close relationship with their children that many people argue exceeds the quality of a “normal" parent-child ties. "During the formative years, kibbutz parents arc particularly significant to their children as sources of affection and nurlurancc agents of socialization and transmitters of kibbutz values." she affirmed, denying that child)cn arc parentless.

"The purpose of the kibbutz was to create a new way of life in an old and hostile land." she explained.

The Spectrum Page seven �Conscientious workers EditPrial To the Editor Dump Doty President Ford changed his team, why can't President Ketter change his? Edward Doty's senseless and unfair decision to close down the Record Coop raises serious legal and ethical questions which cry out for the Vice President's resignation. Doty has demonstrated to the entire University community that his administrative competence, like his notion of the Coop's legality, is "marginal, at best.” Let's look at Doty's record. As chief financial officer of the University, Doty manages FSA, the very organization which has consistently mismanaged such campus services as the Bookstore and Food Service. Food Service suffers from massive turnovers in management and staff, insuring inefficiency and overall poor quality. A Faculty Senate subcommittee recently found the bookstore to be "unworkable," terming it little more than a campus "drugstore." By law, FSA cannot operate in the red. Consequently, inefficiency can be buried by raising prices to a captive student consumer market. If FSA were in the automobile industry, Doty would still be manufacturing Edsels. The students of this University are floundering between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. -In an attempt to rectify the highway robbery which masquerades as "free enterprise," the students, with the seeming support of the University administration, created an innovative alternative to FSA's limited services and a host of off-campus rip-off artists. Doty's failure (by his own admission) to insure that Ketter's 1971 guidelines for the Record Coop were met are sufficient grounds for his dismissal. The ensuing chaos of Doty's inept decision to close the Coop clearly demonstrates his negative influence on the welfare of this campus. I am an employee of Food Service, and not only I, but my daughters, resent the article in The Spectrum (Oct. 29, 1975) written by Steve Green. I do not like being compared to your mother and to the wa/ she runs her kitchen. I do not line up my daughters with trays and give them numbers. We sit at the kitchen table and eat our supper like any other American family. I do not “smack” the food on their plates or on the students’ plates on the job. I may not have a college education, but I came to Food Service with experience from another cafeteria. As far as my background is concerned, I have never been arrested by the police, nor have I ever received a parking or speeding ticket. As far as being a sourpuss from being weaned on sour pickles no way. 1 consider myself and all my coworkers as being one big happy family.

But don’t look for a good reason to close the Coop and appease Cavage Finally, let me say that 1 am disgusted and disappointed at the University’s attitude towards its students. It appears that the students’ wishes and rights can be tossed aside, in favor of taking the easy To the Editor The most infuriating aspect of the Record Coop affair is the University’s closing of the Coop without showing “just cause.” After reading Monday’s (Nov. 3) issue of The Spectrum, it appears to me that the demise of the Ketter approved the request for a Coop in 1971, since, in his own words, "it is not a private enterprise," and moreover, that "the end Coop is predicated upon the fear of possible result could be termed cultural." financial reprisals, by local legislators, initiated by Four years later, Doty maintains that the Coop is an "illegal Cavage. This seems to be the real reason for the commercial enterprise." Why is it illegal now, and why was it legal then ? As Doty admits, the only thing that has changed since the Coop's inception is its sales volume. "Success doomed its failure," said Jim Gruber, Director of Norton Hall, a view which Doty clearly shares. Surely Doty would not suggest that the legality of a non-profit enterprise is a function of its annual sales volume. Yet, we are left with To the Editor no other conclusion. Many concerned and outraged students are directing their wrath at In reference to the comments made by Steven Carl C. Cavage. In light of the administration's history of bowing to the Green in his letter to the editor (The Spectrum, interestes of Western New York businessmen, Cavage, a pragmatic entrepreneur, is naturally out to get all he can. But the real blame October 2d, 1975J, in which he addresses himself to the “Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury:" Mr Green’s resides in Doty's wanton disregard for the welfare of the students of criticizing the full-time employees of hood remarks this University.

The staff of Food Service is composed of some of the nicest, most conscientious and hard-working Once again, the Congress, in its efforts to put a lid on people I have met As of late, they are also some of governmental spending, is attacking the area of education. By nearly a the most constantly maligned. These people work 200 vote margin, the US. House of Representatives approved a just as hard as any other laborers to serve the measure that would terminate Gl education benefits for persons thousands of us that pass through the lines each day, entering the armed forces on or after January 1, 1976. The bill also receiving only an occasional cursory “thanks” in would end the PREP program, which provides education assistance to return service personnel before their discharge. Veterans qualifying for benefits prior to the cut off date would have until December 1987 to complete their education. Action from the Senate is expected soon. The legislators who voted to kill the Gl bill apparently feel the government has only one responsibility in educating its armed forces teaching them to defend our great country, no matter what acts of To the Editor aggression it commits under the banner of democracy. Our government sees fit to pour billions of tax dollars into defense, but it no longer sees Once again the blindfold of justice has slipped the need to give educational assistance to those men and women who to insure yet another long, hard and agonizing volunteer to serve faithfully in the military.

It's a sorry state of affairs that our government has young black man sentenced to nine years in Attica no qualms about indoctrinating minds, just about educating them for first degree assault. While employed by Chevrolet, Henderson working the night shift got into an argument because of a misunderstanding with his foreman, this misunderstanding led to what appeared to be a struggle between the two. After this incident, Henderson returned to work only to be removed from his job because the foreman later reported being injured. With no prior record of any sort, Henderson’s Friday, 7 November 1975 Vol. 26, No. 34 only crime was that of obtaining Legal Counsel, who undoubtedly had no previous court room experience Editor-in-Chief Amy Dunkin and who felt that it was unnecessary to present to Managing Editor Richard Korman the court evidence that would have given the jury a Advertising Manager Gerry McKeen clear picture of the actual harassment and Business Manager - Howard Koenig way out ha Wallis Hard workers Dumping If Mr. Green has a bone of contention to pick with the policy-making administrators of Food Service, let him dispose with pretense and say so directly. But to launch into a vengeful, malicious attack upon a group of people whose worst crime has been to work diligently to make a living is an act of cowardice. This is not to say that those sfudent employees who now work in Food Service apd who were laid ott were not equally diligent and hard-working. Nor is it to lend support to the blatantly inequitable hiring and firing practices exercised by the administrators of Food Service. But just don't pick on the laboring staff of the Pood Service. They are good, honest people who deserve a good deal more respect. than they have been getting.

He’s bewildered over the fact that after four years of employment at Chevy, he’s never had any problems with management, and ironically his had been transferred to the night shift because of his aggressive personality and harassing tactic with the day shift employees.

The vast numbers pictured of the and rock public pigeonholed a Mahavishnu Orchestra clone. This is just another instance of the many bogus and superficial comparisons that now pass for musical criticism. Utopia is a simply keyboard-oriented band while the Mahavishnu Orchestra is primarily guitar centered. The Utopian musical modes contain a fluidity, textural richness and variety of mood settings that the maniacal intensity of Mahavishnu rarely let alone aims for. Finally, the musical compositions of Utopia possess a spontaneous body -energy that connects directly with the solar plexus whereas Mahavishnu majors in technically esoteric virtuosity. achieves Another Live contains Rundgren oldies and new Utopian tunes plus versions of other artists' songs.

Friday, 7 November 1975 Bonnie Haiti rates inplaying,singing by Barbara Komansky Spectrum Raitt rates It was this kind of audience rapport that Raitt mastered Monday night. Joking, imitating favorite performers John Prme and Jackson Browne, accepting a gift from and applauding a member of the audience, and generally having a good time, Bonnie made the audience feel that they were in her living room, rather than a theatre on a freezing evening. Freebo, her infamous and favorite bassist, livened up the proceedings by demonstrating his talents on the tuba in "Give It Up." The crowd cheered her bottle-necking talents, aptly displayed in Chris Smither's "I Feel the Same" and "Sugar Mama," from her new album. Alan Fland, her keyboard player, received a huge ovation after "Good Enough for You," a tune Orleans penned for her. Every woman in the audience related to her performance, and none of the men seemed to mind. For her encore, she performed Eric Kaz's "Slowin' Away" and Steve Stills' "Bluebird," to leave us on an up note. Be it modern poets John Prine or Jackson Browne, her own songs, or classic blues, Bonnie Raitt is one of the most dynamic performers around today. Opening the show was Tom Waits, an unusual performer, best known for his composition "01' 55," written for a Buick Roadmaster. He sings and speaks of waitresses and cars, diners and small towns. Unfortunately, the audience wasn't responsive to his type of talent.

Headlining at Century Monday night, Ms. Raitt proved that she can play the blues as well as Paul Butterfield and sing them as well as Janis. Opening with Jackson Browne's "I Thought I Was A Child," Bonnie added a slightly bluesy note to that and all her numbers. She favors an old hollow-body Gibson, and produces a range of sounds from old Ray Charles numbers to Stevie Winwood's "Can't Find My Way Home." Of course, "Love Me Like a Man" one of her most widely-recognized songs, got the audience up and stomping "Women," she warned, "Look at the man next to you and take heed!"

Ringo Starr is the Pope, in cowboy boots and spurs, with a flock of followers who fill their private chapels with portraits of the saints they worship, holy men on the order of Elton John and Peter Townshend. He responds to the observation that "Truth is stranger than fiction" with a lovely bit of down-home theology; "We've kep goin' for 2,000 years on that one!" And then there’s Franz Liszt himself, sexy superstar hero of Lisztomania, who makes love to this evening's lucky choice from the waiting multitude to the beat of a metronome, reaching over every few seconds to speed it up. As George Sand, Lola Montez and a wide assortment of countesses, princesses and garden-variety groupies drool at his feel, he drinks champagne and autographs silhouettes to be tossed out to the thousands of screaming fans who go wild every time he plays "Chopsticks." going. particularly rock to inundate seem Buffalo around this time of year.

Director Ken Russell's mad genius seems to evolve closer to the former description and farther from the latter with each new film. Generally conceived as commentaries on the excesses of the Romantic movement in nineteenth century arts (and its more contemporary counterparts), his own works mock by far exceeding even the most absurd aspects of his subjects' lives. Superstud composers are one thing, but eight foot penises attached to live actors serving as benches for for lack of a better description, something else chorus are, girls rows of — - - - entirely. His choice of the Who's Roger Daltrey for the leading role was an Daltrey seemed born to play obvious one, perhaps too obvious Tommy in Russell's last film, and his Liszt is simply a more sinister, far and Lisztomania worldlier version of the same fame-crazed character often looks like Tommy's sequel.

The same old hype between October literally opportunities to March crawl and with spend one's money on live music. Favorite acts, such as Chick Corea or the Kinks, return to the city annually to the delight of their fans, while many others, hot on the wings of the promotion by hopeful industry, flash as briefly supporting acts, then disappear, to no one's great surprise or dismay. The objective of the wise listener should therefore be to see as many quality acts as possible, without being exposed to enough crap to lose interest in music altogether. These desires often preclude each other, as the wise record executive will without fail railroad his concert promoter into sticking the latest in bargain-bin fodder on the bill with any good act. Sunday night's performance of Little Feat and the Jamaican band Toots and the Maytals was a of such textbook example traditional portrayal of young Wagner is Paul Nicholas, last seen as Tommy's gleefully sadistic Cousin Kevin. From an earnest youth in a sailor's cap with the single ominous word "Nietzsche” emblazoned across its band, he develops into a goose-stepping vampire, sucking away his sponsor's music, daughter, and, finally, his life.

Of course, Prqdigal audience ate it all up, and despite the miniscule number of people who seemed to actually be enjoying themselves, about half of the floor rose up and demanded an encore A new kind of boredom Only constant exposure to bad rock music could induce such a voracious appetite for terrible Jamaican music, a novelty which must seem a godsend to someone used to the likes of the Doobie Brothers or Lynyrd Skynyrd. In any events. Toots did not return for an encore, and the MC explained (to very few catcalls) that the Maytals had to catch the next plane back to the islands. Honestly. To return to my original point of departure, the “educated music consumers" (cited in radio ads for this concert) should be on the new lookout for promising talents, as well as the visual of commercial exploitation current trends. While Little Feat is tedium which is almost inherent any of the aforementioned in styles Inclusion of the Feat as part of southern rock current the syndrome is unfair, for although they are at times reminiscent of the Allman Brothers, it is through a common bond of background, rather than imitation, as is the case with the various Marshall Tucker-type bands currently on the scene. Lowell George, a master of slide guitar style, never falls into the familiar trap of Duane Allman imitation, but uses a mellower, open-string blues accompaniment method, slightly akin to the early work of Johnny Winter. Singing feet George sings the blues as well as any non-blues singer I've ever heard, possessing inflection and control that would make Greg Allman flinch, were anyone to be so crass as to compare the two of them. Keyboardist Payne and chicanery. The director's vision of religion as hyped-up pop commerciality and vice versa reappears here with a frustrating similarity to the faith healer's scenes in the earlier film; we expect Eric Clapton to come bopping through the cathedral with his guitar/icon at any moment, but Ringo Starr is as appropriate a substitute as any. Substituting for Townshend's music in Tommy (and for the authentic Liszt which, under the circumstances, we have no real reason to expect) is a soundtrack by Rick Wakeman; filling in for a more A the only Those of you who didn't go to UUAB-presented show in the Loew's Buffalo Theater last Sunday night (that is, almost everybody) missed both a good show and some very nice scenery. The scenery in question is, of course, the theater itself, a relic of the bygone era of vaudeville, and one of this city's only real was landmarks. The show provided by Lowell George and Little Feat, but I can't honestly say that I blame anyone for not by no means new talent, they are a group which displays (hints at?) enough talent and potential to guitarist Barrere, in addition to excelling on their respective instruments, write and sing as well them for list, your qualify however short, of bands to see as Lowell himself, and the next year. poor turnout and audience reaction, the Feat proved they can and will continue to entertain. A dubious recording history and a boring appearance at Clark Hall in 1972, excessive critical along with acclaim, had me wary of the group, but the excellence of some of their work made this concert unavoidable. The sound of Little Feat as they stand now (Lowell George, Bill Payne, Paul Barrere, Richard Harward, Ken Gradney and Sam Clayton) is better than it's ever been, probably due to the band's current size and makeup. Despite minimal three of them join with Sam Clayton in providing air tight soul harmonies behind whomever is singing lead at the time. The rhythm section, consisting of Clayton on congas/drums/ percussion, Ken Gradney on bass and Paul Harwell on drums, is very, very organized, although the sleazy, syncopated funk which they do so well may have put some of the less familiar listeners to sleep. On the songs "Rock and Roll Doctor" and "Skin it Back," the band's total concentration on back-bending bump rhythm slowed the songs down, losing some of the effectiveness of the original recordings. The audience a kick where it counts, however, by the songs "Atlanta" was given An old kind of excitement The of the complexity harmonic and rhythmic textures emanating from these six seasoned musicians is reminiscent in many ways of the Band, particularly because the four of them are excellent vocalists.

Older songs included "Dixie Chicken" and "Apolitical Blues" both vast improvements over the originals, again probably due to the medley, the expanded size and experience of the band.

Neither is "The Last of the Ragtime Gypsies," as one of his old record companies used to hype him You can see the hobo and the gypsy in him, the elegance and the closeness to tradition. Geremia's tradition is the blues; he's for example, Blind Lemon Jefferson's "Bad Luck Blues" and Robert Johnson's "Hellhound On My Trail." Most of his songs, though, are his own; look for them on his Folkways and Adelphi albums. His voice is loose and drawly; his recorded, accompaniment, on guitar and piano, is sturdy and interesting. (Geremia is especially good on slide guitar.) Since his at the late Buffalo Folk Festival in 1973, he's managed to make it back about once a year; the 1975—1976 version should be worth your time. Good Dr. Jazz Brian Bauer has played great clarinet with such prominent lights of old-time-jazz influenced folk as Leon Redbone, as well as doing solos under such fanciful tags as "Dr. Jazz and the Ukelele Ladies." He's presently partnered, at least for this weekend, with Linda Namias, a veteran of the Buffalo bar and-coffeehouse circuit (such as it is) and co-organizer of the Greenfield Street Restaurant's coffeehouse.

Whenever two singers from anywhere except Ireland get together, you usually find harmonies; the Killens are tight and very lovely. Their solos, mostly on the long traditional ballads that are the supreme test of a singer's artistry, showed the clarity, openness, and strength of their voices. Lou did an especially rousing version of the drinking song, "Good Ale," (probably not provoked by Food Service's beer) as well as an uproarious dialect version (Northumbrian, I think) of the Nativity "Joe the self-employed with story, ca-PITalist carpenter” taking a bus to Bethlehem and encountering an archangel with "a Frisbee around his head." And if he really wants to scotch what he describes as "the rumor that I'm a superb concertina player," he'd better stop playing things like the fiddle-tune medley he squeezed out to everyone's delight.

What good are dreams unless they are translated in reality by deeds? Around the world, Salesian missioners help their flock by giving them ways to help themselves. Whether it is agricultural training or technical training for a trade they can learn, people are encouraged to find their own niche, their own way of betterment, their own road to human dignity and self help.

It has some truly sparkling moments, but it has its faults, small as they may be. The band has a new addition. John Scofield has Billy Cobham, A Funky guitarist. Abercrombie as John Abercrombie's recent solo effort is the probable cause for his leaving. Abercrombie was a major part of the band, and the vacancy left by him was an enormous hole to fill. Scofield holds his own in this replaced solo effort after leaving sire Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jol McLaughlin's influence was quite apparent in this album. Crosswinds, his second album, showed little McLaughlin influence, and exemplified Cobham's drumming, with more soloing. Total Eclipse, the third album, and possibly his finest, was completely void of Mahavishnu influence. Cobham made evident his talent Monday, November 10, the Department of Music will sponsor a fine instrumentals, using the percussion as the backbone. The fourth album, Shabazz, was his first and only live album. It proved that Cobham's superior drumming was not a However, there was an studio-supported feat. unbalanced mix of percussion with music and the percussion was much too dominant. This new album brings about another change in Cobham and band. The first side of this album is excellent. It consists of five songs and three drum solos. The title cut is the only one lacking the Brecker brothers. It has other hornmen, though, and comes off quite well. The best song on this side, and possibly on the album is one called "Thinking of You." It's a beautiful instrumental, as all Cobham songs are, with just the right balance of horns, guitar and drums. "Some Skunk Funk" is done quite well on this album, but it's not quite as tightly done as on the position. He may lack some of the clarity that Abercrombie mastered, but he is quite adequate at guitar. He makes Abercrombie's loss almost unnoticeable. Michael and Randy Brecker supply the saxophona and trumpet, respectively, on all but one track. Their recent album brought them recognition, but they still remain with Cobham. One song, "Some Skunk Funk," comes from The Brecker Brothers. m Each of Cobham's albums brings a new change the Cobham style. Spectrum was Cobham's first Brecker brothers' solo effort. Side two is where the only real disappointment of the album lies. "A Funky Kind of Thing" is a boringly drawn out drum solo. Cobham is indeed one of the foremost percussionists, but a nine and a half minute solo stretch can get on one's nerves. The other songs on this side are quite good, making up for the one and only mistake of this album. Cobham goes through still another change on this album. His drumming isn't quite as dominating (with the exception of "A Funky Kind of Thing") as on most of his previous albums, giving the proper balance to the accompanying music. Billy Cobham has evolved into one of the finest jazz musicians, and this album displays his talents quite well. —Doug AIpern Cut, Style & Blow Dry Most Reasonable Price in Town! 37.00 1098 Elmwood Ave. Buffalo, N.Y. 886-8650 ����������������� The UB DANCE CLUB will be having a coffeehour and showing Martha Graham Films Monday Nov. 10 , at 7:30 pm Clark Hall/Dance Studio Everybody’s Doing ItI • ALL ARE WELCOME • BACKGAMMON Gomes AN Sizes And Styles In Stock Moke Us You« Heodquorters For All Your IAS BE Bockgommon Needs fflendteson’s contemporary furnishings RAVEL T 4441 HARLEM AT MAIN 839-5667 c5We x°.

I last I would study with a group of thought that at in all respects, conscientious, courteous, and professional studentfk Many times when I see my colleagues. I am sickened at heart with their immaturity, rampant disrespect for each other, and their unwillingness to accept their workloads. I am disgusted whenever I listen to my fellow Medical students belittle their classmates, rant, rave and carry on like sixth graders. They are even disrespectful to our professors. I wonder if such a student, with so little respect for his colleagues, would have any compassion for the sick, the needy, or the impoverished who can never hope to "pay" the physician? The most insulting thing that I see many of my fellow students do is to carry on the sophomoric tradition of studying for exams instead ot studying for the pleasure of learning. I can’t believe how many times I've heard something like, "Why should I study that; it won't be on the exam!!” I submit that this attitude is only characteristic of the immature student. The most damning thought that crosses my mind is that all of-us are lucky to be in Medical School. We all can name ten or more friends who do not share our good fortune. My thoughts are not printable when I hear such things as “Don’t give us any more work today; we’ve had enough!,” or “I don’t think it’s fair to hold a review session if all the class can’t attend because that would be an unfair advantage to those who participate.” To those who are offenders: Ask yoursell it you belong in Medical School and think about yourself.

Readily available unemployment benefits, expectations that the unemployed will be recalled by previous employers and inconvenient geographical locations of many positions. The four-day week? One solution for employers forced to (CPS) reduce their payrolls is to cut their work week rather than their workers, according to a new government report This work-sharing plan was suggested by Lillian L. Poses in a report published by the New York City Human Rights Commission and would involve modifying state unemployment insurance laws. 'The Poses plan would enable recession-injured employers to spread work through a tour-day week with workers making up a large part of their lost earnings for the fifth day through unemployment insurance. Calling the plan “an alternative to outright layoffs,” The New York Times argued such changes would greatly lessen personal hardships for workers. “Not the least among the benefits of the work-sharing arrangement.” editorialized the limes.

Page nineteen �i the bull pen by David J. Rubin Sports Editor Tomorrow night the Bulls open their 1975-76 varsity hockey season with a lot of new wrinkles. Mike Klym, all-time everything for the Bulls, is gone. Coach Ed Wright has a new system which he thinks will vastly improve last year’s spotty defense, and the Bulls are playing in a new home arena. The Tonawanda Sports Center. But perhaps the most important thing that is happening to Buffalo hockey won’t make any difference in their won and lost record. For the first time in years, students will be able to watch the Bulls in action on television ’ Act V, which, for lack of a better name, is Buffalo’s “television club,” has negotiated with International Cablevision to broadcast University sporting events on Tuesday evenings over local cable television. The broadcasts will also be aired on the closed circuit sets in Haas Lounge. This project is the brainchild of its coordinator Carl Ferraro who is using the facilities of Act V as a basis for a study of the condition of athletics at Buffalo. Along with the telecasts of the contests themselves, Ferraro has plans for televising interviews with key coaches like Wright, as well as faculty, administration and student body members. Hockey is not the only sport to be covered, either. Next semester, basketball coverage will begin, and perhaps even a program or two about wrestling might be taped. Ferraro embarked on this project because he is very concerned with the decline of athletics at Buffalo, and he is also interested in the attitudes of the various factions on campus toward this declipe. He hopes these shows can shed some light on what the real opinions are. The Act V program is certainly unique on campus. It will bring Buffalo athletics to the people of the city of Buffalo. It also will profile (he collegiate athlete and will examine the place of athletics in the University. Act V’s conclusions could prove to be critical. If the programs are generally well received by the public, then the conclusions these programs draw will be regarded seriously by all concerned parties. These television broadcasts are the only vehicles currently available on campus which could improve relations between the Voices ol Clark Halt, Norton Hall and the Buffalo Community. Of course, nobody knows just yet if these programs are going to be worth anything at all. They might fall Hat on their faces. But it is imperative that anyone concerned with the athletic program at Buffalo watch at least some of these shows. There are very few, if any. people around campus who really know a II I he arguments which circulate about athletics. Hopefully, these Act V programs will increase people's awareness so that the opinions they form will be based more on fact than it has been in the past. Watch.

Genesee took advantage of Buffalo defense by scoring 12 points early in the game in spite of strong spiking and blocking by Wroblewski and sophomore Alexandrina Price. The Buffalo players weren’t communicating, and Genesee had little trouble defeating them. a confused I Brooklyn tournament matches. “We’d get the edge on a team, then we’d lose,” said junior Marilyn Dellwardt about Buffalo’s disappointing double loss, 4-15, 14-16 to Brockport and 15-12,9-15,8-15 to Genesee CC. Brockport began the match by defeating a surprisingly tough Genesee team, and then took the court against Buffalo. The Golden Eagles completely overwhelmed Buffalo’s defense with its strong serving and powerful spiking. Buffalo’s offense failed entirely,-and the players only managed to score four points in an easy win for Brockport. Wroblewski and Bardak shine Joanne Wroblewski and Judy Bardak helped jump to an early 14-2 lead in the second game with their exceptional spiking and blocking. With a seemingly sure win ahead, Buffalo relaxed its defense, and Brockport took advantage by scoring nine straight points, Buffalo had nine chances to make the game point, but the tight Brockport defense prevented a Buffalo win, and it was the Eagles who finally won with only one second left on the clock. “There was no excuse for us to lose that second game,” said Wroblewski. Buffalo’s numerous serving mistakes at the beginning of the first game in the Genesee match allowed Genesee to capture an early lead. With Tami Thompson serving, Dellwardt made some good spikes to help Buffalo score a quick six points and grab the lead, Buffalo then settled down for an easy Buffalo What? Buffalo started the third game with the same confused, disorganized style of play. Genesee was leading 11-1 when Buffalo finally woke up and at the beginning of the started playing like it did season. With Price and Dellwardt Harvey 8t spiking, Buffalo managed to score enough points to make the game exciting, but the Genesee lead was too much, and Buffalo suffered its second loss of the 23 25 26 28 night. Why, after such a promising start, has Buffalo fallen apart? “We’re sleeping on defense," stated Price. “We should have beat Genesee, but we fell behind on defense.” Dellwardt thought the team had a different problem. “Serve receiving is the key in the game, and that’s our main weakness,” she said. Everybody seems to agree that the recent the team. epidemic of injuries has affected Wroblewski is suffering from a bad knee which doesn’t effect her play, but limits her playing time. Dellwardt has a sprained ankle. Price has an ear infection and Barb Eislar and Michele Saffire also are bothered by injuries. In spite of their problems, the team thinks they’ll do well in the State tournament which is just one week away “We just have to work a little harder,” said Price. “We have to play our game and not fall apart.” “We have a lot of potential,” added Dellwardt. “We just have to get psyched and stay psyched.” Wroblewski was even more optimistic. "We’re going to win the State tournament,” she declared.

Page twenty-pne �A MESSAGE FOR PRESIDENT SADAT At the United N&tions earlier this month, your representative co-sponsored a resolution in the Third Committee equating Zionism with racism. So that you will not misjudge the temper statement; of the American people, we urge you to read this ".this is an obscene actT With these words the US. Representative to the United Nations Third Committee denounced the vote equating Zionism with racism, a vote which he said put the UN “at the point of officially endorsing anti-Semitism.” How are Americans to respond to what our government s spokesman called “a supreme act of deceit...a massive attack on the moral realities of the world”? 1) We commend our government and our representatives at the United Nations— Ambassador Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Clarence Mitchell Jr., and Leonard Garment—for leading the struggle at the UN against the perversion of truth. We are proud of our country and its spokesmen for recognizing that Zionism, the national liberation movement of the Jewish people, derives from the very principles of liberty and justice for all that inspired the founding of our own country. 2) We welcome the action of those Western democracies and African and other states that resisted the threats and pressure of the Arab oil billionaires and refused to take part in the immoral act of condemning Zionism. 3) We will remember those totalitarian dictatorships —Arab, Communist and Fascist that made Friday, October 17 a day of shame in the history of nations. We will not forget how Chile voted, nor that Cuba joined hands with the Arab states in sponsoring the resolution. We will not forget that East Germany voted for it; that Brazil, India, Mexico and Turkey went along; that Franco Spain and Soviet Russia joined Idi Amins Uganda. All voted for anti-Semitism. 4) Finally, we will resist the obscene attempt to equate Zionism with racism as we defend democracy against religious bigotry and anti-Americanism in the United Nations and around the world. For we know that this anti-Zionism campaign is an attack against the State of Israel, against the Jewish religion, against the Jewish people. It is an assault against the values of democracy and civilization that all Americans cherish. It is a horrifying reminder of the Nazi campaign that began with words of hate and ended with acts of extermination. In this struggle, we look for support to all men and women, of every race and religion, who love freedom. If you are moved to join with us in this effort, please use this coupon.

The effects of that strike are first being felt now as periodicals discover they are unable to obtain adequate newsprint supplies to meet their demands. Frank Gerhardt, General Manager of the Hamburg Pennysavef which prints The Spectrum has asked the paper’s editors to limit the size of the issues so he will not run out of newspaper before the strike ends. Gerhardt already has suspended the production of two of Hamburg’s regular Pennysaver publications so he can continue to print The Spectrum. A spokesperson for The Spectrum said the newspapers may be smaller in the next few weeks In order to limit the consumption of newsprint until the strike ends, or a temporary printer with adequate supplies of paper can be found. Premium prices While the effect of the strike on The Spectrum has been minimal, many other papers have taken dramatic steps to reduce their need for paper. Domestic and some Canadian suppliers who are not effected by than normal, said a spokesperson for The New York Tinies. The price hikes have forced many newspapers into the red and caused others to curtail operations. The New York Times has reported third quarter deficits on its newspaper operations. Woody Wardlow, Managing Editor of The Buffalo Evening News said Friday, “We saw the strike coming.” In preparation for an anticipated shortage and as a hedge against inflation, the News ordered far more-paper than it expected to need during the summer months, Wardlow said. Whereas the News normally has a 30 day stock of newsprint, at one point in early October, the production department had stockpiled a 90 day supply, Wardlow added. This involved tying up large of amounts which most capital publications cannot afford to do. Close to home The newsprint at the News is now down to a 30 day supply and unless the strike ends, the paper will be forced to curtail operations In some ways. “Cutbacks would come in the areas of fewer photos, smaller photos, smaller headlines and elimination of stories to reduce page numbers,” according to Wardlow. Already the paper has begun to “maximize usage of page size in classified sections” by printing nine columns on what was formerly an eight column page, Wardlow said. However, he explained that The Buffalo Evening News and other local papers are in a better situation than others throughout the nation due to easy access to Canadian suppliers unaffected By the strike. Newspapers in the East and South have been particularly hard hit by the strike due to their distance from suppliers who are generally located in the Pacific Northwest and Canada.. The New York Post according to Managing Editor Robert Spitzen, “has reduced its size three times in the past two years to help offset first the rising cost of newsprint and now the shortage of it.” The Daily News has also dinmk in size in the past few weeks. The New York Times Board of Directors has been debating for the past three months whether to shrink the paper or not, said the Times spokesperson. After reported third quarter losses and new appointments to the Board of Directors, the source indicated that a smaller page size is iminent. The New York Times and The Daily News have been able to obtain newsprint at “premium” prices. Wardlow said The Buffalo Evening News sold some newsprint to the New York dailies at a premium. Many small town newspapers had to shut down due to their inability to obtain newsprint at reasonable costs. Budget squeeze Special SUNY programs cut by Mike McGuire Contributing Editor amount of cuts suffered by the SUNY College of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell was difficult to gauge, because some cuts were restored by the slate’s Supplemental Budget. Specialized and “statutory” colleges run by the State University of New York (SUNY) have been hit by budget cuts for this year and next, but few have Attrition had to lay off faculty or drop Marchand pointed out that the to a cuts went deeper than may seem programs, according survey by The Spectrum. apparent from the figures because Statutory colleges are schools many schools in the life sciences run by SUNY at- non-SUNY have been hard-hit by rapid universities. inflation in the costs of medicines colleges and Specialized colleges teach subjects and other chemicals. However, Marchand said the not normally taught at private Veterinary School has been able liberal arts institutions. At Cornell University, where to make all personnel cutbacks so SUNY runs four colleges in the far by attrition (not filling otherwise private Ivy League vacancies) rather than layoffs.

Programs in labor and management and in adult a playoff berth, the first step to the Super Bowl. The following At the Cornell School of Industrial and Labor Relations, Business Director George Calvert said that while personnel and programs will have to be cut back, the extent of the cutbacks is still being assessed. Programs in labor and management and in adult education are being cut back already, however. At SUNY’s Maritime College, located at Fort Schuyler in Bronx, York, Business Affairs New Director Louis Kent said the budget had been cut $50,000. While priorities in case of further cuts have yet to be decided, Kent said the current reductions have been dealt with by “belt-tightening.” The college has cut back on equipment order, supplies and overtime. Kent has even removed two out of four flourescent bulbs from his office. If a secretary is out sick, the college doesn’t call in temporary help as it once did. Kent said that Maritime only has two programs, an Students at the Syracuse College of Environmental SCience and Forestry study foliage in the Syracuse area. The program is one of several sponsored by SUNY at non-SUNY schools which have been hurt by budget cuts. undergraduate and a graduate, and that because the programs are a fairly-integrated study of maritime skills, program cutbacks are nearly impossible. The graduate program, he said, is almost self-sustaining anyway. Kent said he is confident that layoffs will not have to be made, although some positions might be lost through attrition. Impact assessment At yie Syracuse College of Environmental Science and Forestry, another SUNY statutory college, assistant to the Business Director Peter Wiltsie said simply, “We’re continuing to assess the impact for this year and next.” Regarding SUNY’s relatively new School of Optometry, on East 25th Street in New York City, director of Business Affairs Sigbert Borg felt the school was unlikely to be hit with severe cutbacks because of its “uniqueness.” It is the only optometry program in SUNY, Borg said. In addition, it is immune to program elimination because “we have only one program, so if you cut out out programs, you cut optometry,” according to Borg. Borg did say, however, that the school had delayed moving into new quarters, hadn’t increased its faculty as fast as scheduled, and cut back in supplies and equipment. . �Under attack Students to have a say in financial cutbacks by Joe Chatterton Campus Staff Writer Students of the State University of New York (SUNY) and the City University of New York (CUNY) may discuss the possible consequences of budget cuts on the cost of education at three one-day hearings in November The hearings will be sponsored by the Student Association of the State University (SASU) and the Student Advisory Committee of the College Scholarship Service (CSS) and will be held in New York City, Albany and Buffalo on November 20, 21 and 22 respectively. SASU is a five-year-old coalition of 26 SUNY student governments. SASU has in the past lobbied successfully to prevent $2 million from being cut from SUNY’s financial aid program. < CSS funding CSS, which administers tests used nationally to determine student financial need, is funding the hearings in New York State and in other parts of the country. Joel Packer, legislative director of SASU, organized the hearings. The hearings will help develop a representative picture of the problems students face with the national and state financial aide programs. ' : . Packer said. “The whole procedure will be fairly informal. The student will not be grilled or interrogated, but will instead find a sympathetic pan,” - SASU labelled ineffective by Kathy Driscoll Spectrum Staff Writer The University’s role in the Student Association of the Stale University (SASU) is currently under attack by some Student Association (SA) members. According to Inter-Residence Council President, David Brownstein, the University is not getting its money’s worth out of SASU. Brownstein made a motion to withdraw from SASU at an SA Student Affairs Task Force meeting earlier this year. The motion was tabled. “SASU leaves itself open for many insurmountable problems,” Brownstein said. He cited SASU’s leadership and its student services as two of the main difficulties which affect this University. ' SA President Michele Smith said the basic problem comes from different people’s concepts of SASU’s role, “Is SASU a lobby service, a governing organization, or both?” she asked. To iron out this, problem, students should get more involved in the organization, rather than withdraw from it, she said. .... according to Packer. • The panel will mainly be comprised of students, including the heads of SASU and the CUNY Student Senate (USS). Among the panelists will be Robert Kirkpatrick, SASU President, Jay Hershcnson, USS Chairman, and representatives of the Coalition for Public Higher Education. Direct contact “The purpose of these hearings is to let us bear from the students directly,” Packer said. “The hearings will bring out in the open the many problems the New York students do face, problems which make it difficult, if not impossible, for many of them to start or finish college. When all the evidence has been gathered at the hearings, SASU will take it to the state legislature. “We hope to refine our proposals so they can be closer to what the students really need,” Parker said. “AFter that, we’ll go for the lawmakers.” Parker is hopeful that the panel will hear froth a wide range of people, particularly groups such as Third. World students, part-time, veterans and continuing students. “Without students testifying at any one of the three hearings the project will not be successful. Up until now we have had a lot of interested people, but no definite commitments,” he said. Students interested in participating in the hearings should contact Packer for more information at SASU, 109 State Street, Albany, New York 12207.

SA also received help with the budget and with Women’s Studies College, she said/ “SASU services are bad here,” said Student Affairs Task Force Director Steve Schwartz. Schwartz stated that SASU’s travel service, block booking program, and purchase power are far inferior to the services at this University. He questioned whether the money spent in yearly dues (close to $10,000) was worth the results the University obtains from SASU. “How do you put a price tag on student representation through SASU’s lobby power and inter-communication between State schools?” Schwartz asked. SA Executive Vice President Art Lalonde said, “SASU is not doing their Job.” He claimed SASU is made up of the “elite of the elitests,” referring to the group of student leaders who represent various student governments at SASU meetings. “1 think we need a centralized student association in the state, but not one like SASU,” he said. VETERANS FACTS- Lalonde believes that students should be more concerned over where their money goes and that the $10,000 in SASU dues could be better spent elsewhere. “Not enough students know about SASU,” he said. “I hope that the motion to withdraw is brought up again.” However, the Vice President for Campus Affairs of SASU, Stu Hamowitz, explained that SASU provides services and programs which “are not overtly visible.” These include the SASU lobby group and an information' and communication service between SUNY schools. SASU is currently meeting with the SUNY Central Administration about the Record Coop here. If the State University at Buffalo decides to withdraw, Hamowitz said, SASU would have to redirect its budget priorities and decide on alternate financial assistance.

Department of Health Education representatives were assured by President Robert Ketter in a meeting last week that the salaries would be paid at least another year, and that a committee to study the future of athletics on this campus will be formed to formulate a longer-range funding program. Executive Vice President Albert Somit, in a letter to faculty and student organizations, requested eight to ten nominations for this panel, which will also seek to evaluate the demand for the athletic services now available. 'Patchwork' funding Somit said the coaches will be retained during the 1976-77 year through “patchwork” funding, but gave no description of where that funding would originate. The coaches’ salaries amount to about $154,000, according to the University budget planning committee which met during the summer Health Education Dean Harry Fritz said he feels that figure “is a little on the high side.” He said the coaches “were never really out” of the 1976-77 budget, since the plans which excluded them were only proposals” in the request stage,” and the figures in it were not entirely “realistic.” The University budget committee, faced with a $288,000 reduction in funding from Albany, achieved 53 percent of the cut by eliminating the coaches’ salaries. This cut must still be absorbed elsewhere. Didn’t ask Fritz said he had been given “no indication of where the funds would come from,” and he “didn’t ask.” Student Association President Michele Smith has expressed concern over the reinstatement of the coaches without an explanation for the source of the funds. “1 was a member of the budget committee, and I voted against writing the coaches out of the budget,” she said, “So I’m pleased my position has been accepted. “But I think we have a right to know where this money is coming from, and how this short range decision was made,” she said. U.B. Foundation President John Carter said that although the organization in the past has aided the athletic program financially, no proposal for aid has been presented thus far to the Foundation’s executive committee this year.

In addition to the false alarms, vandalism of fire warning systems is increasing creating a potentially dangerous situation, he added. The vandalism includes breaking fire alarm box arms and clipping wires connecting sounding horns and buzzers. This last practice is particularly dangerous, because all alarm sounding devices within a quad are tied to one line. Hunt said. He explained that if one sounding nom is broken, no horns in that quad will function, even if the alarm boxes are working. This means that in the event of a real fire, all persons will have to be notified personally through their resident advisors. The problem of responding to alarms is becoming increasingly difficult. There have been so many false alarms on the Amherst campus that many students are becoming apathetic to the potential danger. Many simply ignore the alarms, “It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even bother getting up, let alone go downstairs. 1 think that if there actually was a fire, I’d just bum, unless someone dragged me out,” said one Fargo Quad resident. Apathy ,y fhe situation has become so bad that this feeling is typical of most students that I know at Amherst. These practical jokes are more hazardous than anything I can think of,” added another. Th-se dangers were stressed by Hunt and Director ,' Fire Safety Phil Murray. Hunt said that one night in the Wilkinson Quad they had five false alarms in a row. He added that they are averaging three or four false alarms per week. “The fire alarm boxes should never be pulled unless their really is a fire,” Hunt insisted. When an alarm is sounded, assuming the sounding devices are working, all residents must be evacuated from the area. The resident advisors are in charge of clearing the zone and once cleared, they must search the area and verify whether the alarm is real or false. If there is a fire. Campus Security is called in and the fire is reported to the Amherst Fire Control Center, where the primary fire station is notified. The primary fire station for the Amherst Campus is Getzville with North Bailey as the first back-up station. Fire Chief Dan Miller has made several dry runs to the campus and says that they can “be on campus in two minutes.’’ However, once on campus it would take more time to reach the site of the fire, depending on where it is and traffic conditions. The real problem Miller also repeated the danger of pulling false alarms. He added that he would be “more than willing to go out to the campus and talk with the kids if it would do any good. It’s really important that we educate people regarding the dangers of false alarms/’he said. Miller added that he wants to run a full scale fire drill at the campus to see how quickly and smoothly his. company and the students can deal with an emergency. “We’re 100 percent prepared in the event of a fire there and we’ll give it everything we’ve got. One reason I want to run a full-scale drill is to show the kids that we’re ready,” he said. Meanwhile, the general consensus seems to be that dealing with false alarms and vandalism is the most immediate problem, not the actual amount of fire-prevention equipment available in the event of a real fire. Wednesday, 5 November 1975 . The Spectrum Page three . �Gl Bill Majority of classes House eliminates benefits of WSC to continue Executive Vice President Albert Somit has indicated that a majority of Women’s Studies College (WSC) courses will be retained next semester, because the College agreed to delete the word “unlawful” from the anti-discrimination clause in its charter. College courses which exclude men will not be processed by the Admissions and Records computer, however, rendering them unavailable next semester, Somit said. Abbey Tiger, a member of the WSC Publicity Committee said the College plans to hold a referendum in all WSC classes to determine whether or not men should be admitted to courses which are presently all-women only. An identical referendum held last year, affirmed the exclusion status of these courses. Out of a total enrollment of 500 in WSC courses, 350 women are registered in “Women In Contemporary Society,” the College’s introductory 213 course. This course, which WSC considers a vital part of its program, may no longer be offered as a result of the administration’s decision. Three other courses, “Women in Photography,” “Studio Art for Women,” and “Women’s Automotives” would also be adversely affected by the decision. Members of Women’s Studies College have scheduled a rally today from 12 noon-1 pan. in support of all-women classes and to deliver petitions signed by hundreds to students to President Robert Ketter. Last year, 4000 petition signatures were collected in a four-day drive. Many more signatures are expected this year because the petitions have already been circulating for approximately 30 days. Veterans currently in school and eligible for educational benefits will receive them for ten years after their release from active duty, said Patrick Kelly, Veterans Association President. The United States House of Representatives voted last week to eliminate GI Bill educational and vocational training benefits for all servicemen who enlist after December 31, 1975. According to Kelly, the only way this bill aids veterans is its extension of the available benefits for Graduate Studies to a period of 45 months of study. At this University, 11.5 percent of the total student population and 35 percent of the Millard Fillmore College population are veterans. In the future, many people like those receiving benefits here will not be able to seek further education, said Ed Serba, University of Buffalo Veteran Outreach Officer. Poorer He explained that many enlistees come from poorer socio-economic backgrounds. Educational benefits give these people a chance to escape the welfare unemployment cycle, he said. Serba said this is particularly true with Vietnam because this was essentially the first war you could “buy your way out of.” Many middle class people were able to obtain student deferments from Vietnam service while many poor could not. Kelly feels educational benefits are particularly important in the present time of recession when a growing number of veterans (in part accounting for the record number of veterans receiving benefits) are going back to school. Serba felt this is due to a growing need for veterans to adapt their skills to a changing job market. The GI Bill has undergone vast changes in the past. At its inception in the period after World War II, veterans were able to attend any institution of higher learning with the Veterans Administration (VA) paying the entire tuition plus $75 a month living allowance.' Presently, the benefits are in fixed payments based on a $270 monthly payment to a full-time student with no dependents. The student must pay his tuition and other expenses out of this allowance. ■■■■■■■■■■■■■FREE COFFEE bp DEMOCRATIC a & HATE CMVEUION I Candidate for President of the United States Saturday, Nov. 8th at 12 noon Haas Lounge Norton Admission FREE to all Coffee & Donuts will be served. - ’age four .

In order to maintain certification with the VA, a school must achieve a 50 percent employment —Chli rate for graduates.-This is aimed at proprietary schools, training institutes, which Kelly said treat the veteran students “like a piece of meat.” Serba feels that the most likely schools to be hurt by the compliance survey will be small public programs which have fewer financial and human resources. Serba said that according to available figures the United States Government has collected in taxes over ten times what it spends for educational and vocational benefits. This is because of an increased earning ability by better educated and trained veterans, Serba explained in citing a need for -Charles Greenberg continuing such programs.

November 1975 - TEA OR WHATEVER -■■■■■■■■■■I �Corporal punishment is still allowed in certain schools Editor’s note: The following article is reprinted from the November I, 1975 issue of The Nation. George Merlis Special to The Spectrum The hickory stick, long the feared symbol of American classroom discipline, is gone. So is the birch rod. Today’s schoolteachers have other methods of maintaining order and enforcing diligence: electric cattle prods, copper-edged rulers, heavy leather belts and most commonly wooden paddles. Corporal punishment, outlawed in the military, no longer officially sanctioned in prisons, thrives in America’s classrooms. Many educators take to heart the injunction of the Proverbs; “He that spareth his rod hateth his son, but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.” They cast themselves as the chastising father and and their pupils as the miscreant sons daughters. A junior high school teacher in Independence, Mo., substituted a rowboat oar for a rod. A South Carolina teacher used a cattle prod. Teachers in Port Huron, Mich., are proscribed from striking their students with anything more punishing than an open hand, but in another Michigan district, newly hired teachers are handed a wooden paddle when they sign their employment contracts. In West Virginia, students in shop class make the paddles which will be used on them in other classes. And in Dallas, Texas, the school district keeps meticulous records on corporal punishment, records they are not loath to reveal to any inquirer. According to Nolan school Dallas assistant Estes, a 10,225 were there superintendent, instances of corporal punishment in the city’s classrooms in the 1973-74 school year. (The 1974-75 statistics had not been compiled in mid-September.) “That’s not 10,000 students paddled,” Estes explained; “some of them were repeaters.” Indeed, probably many were repeaters, for a 1972 study of corporal punishment conducted by the National Education “Physical Association concluded, way to an ineffective is punishment maintain order; it usually has to be repeated over and over.” The 10,000-plus swattings recorded by - - — —Hear 0 Israel— For gems from the JEWISH BIBLE Phone 875-4265 PAPERBACK Dallas in 1973-74 were a drastic decrease from the 26,000-plus pupil beatings of the 1972-73 school year. The decline occurred because the school system began enforcing its rule that teachers need prior, written parental consent before paddling a student. Student administrators, on the other hand, are still authorized to strike students without parental consent. Today, a Dallas teacher who feels a beating is called for must bring the student before a board that includes a school nurse and a school psychologist. And the board, after hearing all sides, decides whether to seek parental consent. Or, the teacher may refer the case to the principal who can, in Estes’s phrase, “handle it in their [sic] own way.” Estes adds; “The students must be given the opportunity to state their side. The administrator must advise students of their rights. It’s just like an arrest.” If it is easy for some school student to equate administrators crimes no with crimes misbehavior longer subject to corporal penalties in the criminal justice system what about those who suffer spankings and paddlings for deficiencies in their school work? Certainly no one could confuse honest mistakes or with misdemeanors, much even laziness Yet in school districts with felonies. less across the country teachers spank, paddle and manhandle students for spelling errors, arithmetic mistakes and sloppy homework, as well as for unruly behavior. Thirteen states explicitly permit the corporal punishment of students. Three Jersey, Maryland, New states Massachusetts ban it. Most states have no laws on the subject, so the children can be whacked about unless a local district New York, forbids it. Some major cities Philadelphia, Chicago have done so. In September, California passed a law requiring written parental consent. The law’s sponsor. Assemblywoman Leona Egeland, said, “I have never seen a good teacher who has to stoop to corporal punishment to modify behavior." Yet. it wasn’t banned, merely restricted. In Oregon, a bastion of progressive legislation, an attempt last year to ban corporal punishment in the schools was narrowly defeated in the state legislature after intensive, last-minute lobbying by pro-paddling teachers who feared they would be unable to control their classes without the threat of physical force. — - - — - - — - Too often, that threat must be exercised. Ric MacDowell, a teacher who had used paddles on his students although he does not approve of the practice, put it this way; “If it’s legal, and if the students are used to corporal punishment, then that is what they respect. You can ask the class to be quiet, but they know you’re not really serious until you get out the paddle and paddle somebody.” But Larry Wilkerson, a West Virginia school superintendent, thinks county corporal punishment can help to stimulate the mind. What the student might think about, some feel, is vengeance. Bob Myers, a probation and parole officer in Missouri, wrote, “The seeds of corporal punishment can only produce an ugly harvest of violence.” Not only can paddling make a student resentful, Myers feels it can also teach him that physical force is an acceptable way to solve problems. Until this week the Supreme Court declined to rule on corporal punishment in skirting schools, the the broad constitutional issues (cruel and unusual punishment, denial of due process, invasion of privacy, etc.). But on October 20 the Court let stand a lower court ruling affirming the right of a North Carolina teacher to paddle a student for which now has misbehaving. That ruling said of Court assent the force a Supreme a student must be warned before being spanked and that only a “reasonable” level of corporal punishment was permissible. The Court did not define “reasonable.” The lower court affirmed the right of a teacher to spank even against the wishes of — — a parent. The Court’s decision, foes of corporal punishment feel, will make it harder to get anti-paddling legislation passed elsewhere. Presumably the Supreme Court agrees with educators who hold with Menander, “The man who has never been flogged has never been taught.” The fact that those words were written more than 300 years before the birth of Christ doesn’t seem to render them obsolete to pro-paddling educators. One school official said he knew paddling worked because some of his victims “have in later years thanked me for straightening them out.” and they But paddling’s opponents include the NEA, ACLU and the American believe the Psychological Association most friendly, helpful and educational thing that can be done about scholastic corporal punishment is to make it ancient — — history.

Page fi’ �Editorial Betrayal Vice President for Finance and Management Ed Doty has firmly rejected the compromise by the Student Association to save the Record Coop on this campus. SA, in its attempts to deal with Doty on his terms, offered to work with the School of Management in handling the bookkeeping operations of the Coop, thus creating an academically justifiable enterprise. Doty said no, that the Record Coop was just too big. SA then suggested reducing the inventory of the Coop to make it smaller. Again, Doty refused to budge. His message: the Coop will close on Friday. Doty's adamant refusal to consider any reason- able alternatives confirms facts about our administration that should outrage every student on this campus. Stated simply, Doty has betrayed us. He has shown exactly where his loyalties lie by acceding to pressure from one Carl Cavage, owner of a competing record store across the street who no doubt has a couple of friends in high political places. Through his use of administrative fiat, Doty has accepted Cavage's legally unsubstantiated complaint, rather than force Cavage to pursue it in the courts. In effect, the burden of proof was shifted to the Coop (and students). Doty, who has let the Coop exist for over four years, says it was "marginally legal" then but it is illegal now. Vet legality is not even the real issue here. When President Robert Ketter authorized the establishment of the Coop in September 1971, not only did he justify its existence within Board of Trustees guidelines, but nowhere did he even mention that the operation could be illegal. In fact, the purpose of the letter he wrote to SA on September 13, 1971, was to state his reasons for its legality: "Since the proposed co-op is not a private enterprise, since it would operate in space generally and already assigned to student activities, since the proceeds would benefit the Student Association, and since I assume the end result could be deemed cultural, I approve the request with the following conditions . . ." Doty has claimed that those conditions may not have been met, partly due to his and the Coop's negligence. But he himself admits that is not the issue. As far as legality goes, the Coop today still fits into Ketter’s original logic. And yet Doty still care; if doesn't SA can "make it legal," Doty still businessmen." The same article reports that in a says it’s too big. We believe that the size of the Coop is neither a sound legal argument nor justifiable grounds to shut it down. The fact remains that it is a letter to the Chancellor of the State University, "20 department heads, deans and program chairmen non-profit operation run by students and for students. It'is clear that Doty has no intentions of listening to reason. Rather, his motives are selfserving and he is manipulating laws to serve this end. He is more interested in avoiding potential headaches for the administration than taking a>stand against Cavage and possibly falling from grace in the eyes of ability' and did not have 'the trust or confidence of a large portion of this university' and was 'clearly not worthy of the presidency." Seven days later, a Times editorial on Sunday, June 28, 1970, stated that "Violent student forays and revolutionary rhetoric have made it increasingly difficult for liberal forces the business community. Doty thinks he did his homework well, he thinks the "dope" he has on the Record Coop will bear him out. But where are his facts on Cavages? Cavage, the man who probably controls more of the record market in Buffalo than any other person, claims the Coop is a "ruinous competition." If Doty insists on resorting to the most drastic recourse possible, closing the Coop, he has a fundamental obligation to students to make Cavage show "just cause" for a complaint, to prove that his business is suffering. We want figures, not threats. Furthermore, Cavage's complaint is obviously an attempt to eliminate his immediate competition. By doing away with a non profit enterprise that Doty says is illegal, he just could be sanctioning a potential record monopoly in Buffalo and a violation of state anti trust laws. If anything, the .University probably has just as much of a legal case against Cavage as he has against the University. It should be noted that at one time, Cavages was the only record shop in the University area. Back in 1971, when the Record Runner and the Record Coop first opened, the monopolistic atmosphere of record sales was finally injected with a degree of free competition. Cavage himself said in the Monday, November 8, 1971 issue of The Spectrum, "The main thing is to be of service to more people, to be able to get more people by changing the price so there are more transactions." His philosophy has now changed thanks to men like Doty. Why should he lower prices or expand his inventory to attract student customers when he has the backing of the University administration in eliminating his most threatening competition? This administration's alliance with area businessmen has a good deal of historical significance. The New York Times reported on Sunday, July 21, 1970 that Robert Ketter was nominated for the presidency of this University by "the Buffalo University Council, primarily a group of Western New York asserted that Dr. Ketter lacked 'senior administrative oppose and contain the counter-pressures of enraged communities, alumni and legislatures." The Times cited the State University of New York at Buffalo as a prime example, calling "disastrous. . the temptation on the part of despairing trustees to seek out 'law and order' candidates to fill university presidencies." The Ketter administration grew out of exactly that type of logic. In 1970, Ketter and his crew of Vice Presidents ascended to power, not by virtue of their administrative expertise or educational vision, but for the sole purpose of mollifying certain elements of the Buffalo community. Five years later, campus cosmetics and development of the Amherst campus, giving private businesses the right to a virtually captive consumer market, is still their number one concern. to These days, it takes pretty dramatic actions for students to raise an outcry about any issue on campus. As the response to Doty's decision to close the Record Coop indicates, students, will not allow the administration to walk right over them in the arms of one angry businessman. By bowing down to Cavage's complaint, Doty is setting an extremely dangerous precedent for the future of other student services on this campus. Many students today own more records than they do books. Records have become one of the most important cultural mediums of this generation and cultural activities certainly fall within the SUNV guidelines. The administration isn't the only party in this controversy that has local citizens on its side. Many community members have expressed strong support for the Record Coop, including several of the local radio and television stations. Although the men in our administration would have us believe otherwise, we do have ways of fighting back. On November 7, the Record Coop will be forced or not it will reopen its doors to shut down. Whether rests in our hands Rally for Women's Studies Women's Studies College (WSC) needs the help the entire University community in upholding its of defense of all-women's classes to the administration.

Your support is their progressive strength Insider's view Wednesday, b November 1975 Vol. 26, No. 33 today between careful 1975 To the Editor. The fall of 1974 witnessed my employment by Carl C. Cavage. In August 1975 came the abrupt and distasteful end to that career. Having served them with my standard two-week notice of departure, I found myself out of a job at the end of the same workday. Naturally I have a gripe against the man and his two corporations. By two, I’m speaking of Cavages Inc. and its corporate Siamese twin, Buffalo Enterprises Inc. which in turn runs the warehouse (a tax break?). 1 could say that while I worked there, all of his employees were happy, that they were paid time and a half for overtime, that he never sent people to investigate the Co-op incognito, and that no one was told to hush up a raise they might have received. But then, I could be branded a liar, which I am not. All of these things did occur, and more. Unfortunately I don’t have full knowledge of other covert activities which 1 did catch a glimpse of. In all fairness to former fellow employees, I made some friends for life. I don’t regret that part of my experience. In summation, ask yourself this — how much food does the Co-op take off Carl’s table, and why is he referred to as “King” Cavage? Thank you, A Kirsch P.S. The busiest.

The basic problem was that The Spectrum article reported figures as annual losses, when in actuality, the figures were totals of books stolen or lost over the years. Our annual losses in unit libraries are difficult to pinpoint. Most libraries cannot afford the time or staff to perform such regular inventories. However, in the unit libraries of this campus which have been able to take inventories in the past few years, there seems an average of about 5 percent of used A modest proposal The resourceful administrator with faced fiscal emergencies can always manage to snatch defeat out the jaws of when creative economies. For example, we have already made mention of the victory by instituting and University phone the Academic Handbook. With the public interest in mind, we would like to suggest eight more ways to decrease the budget at this University. 1. The cut-back in department directory phone service and the exclusion of students in the Campus Phone Directory was a small step in the right direction. The time has come to eliminate all campus phone service and replace it with a Drum and Smoke Signal Communication Corps. We have all been used to the beat of the tom-tom in and around Norton. Now let’s put it to'good use! 2. Eliminate bureaucrats who have long ceased to administer, and now spend all their time eating Unto the budget by earning exorbitant salaries. The solution, have them eat each other. The right to commit Cannibalism is protected in a little known clause in Title IX of the Civil Rights states which Amendment “Cannibalisiti between consenting adults shall not be prevented on the basis of sex, race or religion.” 3. Institute paid tours to the top of the re-built Lockwood steps, the new “in place to be.” The view will take your breath away! 4. Utilize the experimental dogs over in Farber Hall more efficiently between the months of November and March. This can be accomplished by establishing Dog Sled Runs to Amherst and Ridge Lea for one-fifth the cost of the present bus service. 5. Expand “Credit University,’’ that Free lucrative educational innovation that now offers courses in such germane areas as “Hockey Injuries” by including workshops in Dealing. The Rathskellar is our choice for the collection missing, which leads us to the conclusion that about 5 percent of the materials that we purchase each year are lost. This is a far cry from the reported statement that we lose 5 percent of the total collection each year. As an example of the effectiveness of the electronic detection systems installed in several existing libraries here (and to be installed in all the Amherst library facilities), an inventory of the Health Sciences Library last year showed their losses to be less than three-tenths of one percent with the electronic system, as opposed to the general 5 percent average for the general system. -John Vasi Assistant to the Director of Libraries Prostitution and Drug classroom space. 6. Some departments have “blue giving out eliminated books” for examinations. In conjunction with this wise money saving measure, we call for the institution of oral examinations to natural precious save our resources (paper and ink) while increasing teaching productivity. Imagine how much more we could get out of our professors, if they had to give oral tests to lecture classes of 150 students. 7. Better utilization of our Heating Plant. Since the heat is turned on in the beginning of September and turned off in May, no matter what the temperature outside, we suggest that Food Service warm its food on the radiators and use the carols at Lockwood for Steam Tables when temperatures are 68 degrees or above outside. 8. Scale down labor costs in the libraries by eliminating that antiquated system of checking out books. UGL had the right idea this summer when it stopped checking books and packages at the door to see if anyone was stealing because as one library administrator put it, “the cost of employing someone to check people at the door was more and expensive than replacing a stolen book.” recataloging Following this brilliant logic, we might also eliminate Campus Security since they never recover property stolen enough compensate for their salaries. Editor’s Note: wholeheartedly proposals. The Spectrum these supports Look at the facts hah!) Til the l:\lllnl The Justin Hofmann's “facts” are not very true. To say that Spectrum. Od 31 the Arabs living in Israel have the same rights as any other citizens is very wrong and reflects nothing but the degree of information our Rabbi has. The Israeli policy towards the Palestinians has always been a series of continuous terror and oppression. This includes both the Palestinians who jjfit living inside occupied Palestine and those who were forced to leave in 1 948. I am sure that Rabbi Hofmann knows (he told me he was there) that the Balilee and the Triangle simply and the Negev have a military governor because of the high Arab population in those areas who still rules according to a system put by the British Mandate in 1945. Those laws, under which the majority of Arabs live, effects every moment of a person’s life. Under those laws a person can be detained (315 detention orders issued in 1957), denied his possessions and his property can be destroyed just if the military suspects that he has done something wrong. Up to 1963 there could be no appeal to a decision of the military governor. After 1963 Arabs were given the right to appeal to the Supreme Court who made it a general rule not to oppose the first decision. Moreover up to 1962 no Arab in the villages of Triangle could leave his home between 6 p m. & 5 a.m. which sure enough was not the case in Tel Aviv for example. (Equal rights Rabbi - - - — To count a few from so many, the public services in the Arab villages compared to those in any other Jewish settlement are very poor. Health economic service, educational, and political standards in the Arab populated areas are in no way comparable to those in the other areas. They pay equal taxes receiving the least services other than the services done to them by the Israeli army like in Kfarkasem - 1956 for example. As far as the Israeli policy towards the Palestinians outside Israel, we have the daily attacks on the refugee camps in Lebanon, where thousands of children have been killed, as a best illustration. Still our Rabbi may argue that Zionism is not a form of racism. You can call it whatever you want, remembering the results this movement brought to the world in general and the Palestinians in particular. Also it would be to our Rabbi’s advantage Judging whether Zionism is racism or not to remember those words said by Moshe Dayan to the students of the Techion in Haifa on March 19, 1969: “There is not a single Jewish settlement in this country that has not been built on the site of an Arab village.” Want more? Listen to Abraham Anzlag in Ma’ariv of March 26, 1971: “Here they eliminate a complete culture. They uproot a rich and - deep-rooted culture.” Is it racism? Call it whatever you want as long as you remember its results. John Elias Act now to save the Coop To Cavages’ ads are heard on the radio, on any day!) Are we really threatening this man?

The amount of estrogen in the average Pill has been cut in half since 1960,but the risk of clots remains the same.” by Jenny Cheng Contributing Editor Many women today look to the Birth Control Pill as the surest means Of contraceptive protection. But doctors are not quite sure just how the Pill affects the body and people are becoming increasingly suspicious of its potential hazards. Advocates of the Pill content that its side effects have been grossly exaggerated and taken out of context. But skeptics continually cite frightening statistics of susceptibility among Pill-users to blood clotting, cancer and vascular disorders. Both sides have presented arguments worthy of consideration. But after reviewing all the facts about the Pill, many conclude that it is a “grand, and unprecedented biological experiment,” as Barbara Seaman puts it. Seaman, a Medical Writing Fellow at Columbia University, sees the Pill as a dangerous drug. “The outcome of this experimental drug does not directly affect the grown men who developed and prescribe ft, but it does affect many millions of women and their unborn babies,” she said. Seaman believes any woman who takes the Pill has the right, and perhaps the obligation to understand just how experimental the Pill is. Cancer factor? concerning the Cancer has been another subject of dispute the Pill. “safeness” of Advocates of the Pill claim that several hundred women who participated in trials of the Pill beginning in 1956 and are still being checked regularly, have not developed any Pill-associated cancer. However, these same advocates admit that doctors cannot positively 10 or state that the Pill does not cause cancer, because cancer takes more years to develop, and widespread use of the Pill dates only from 1965. Pill advocates go as far as to say they feel the Pill may “protect” women from some forms of cancer. “Recent research shows women often as using (he Pill develop benign breast tumors less than half as Alice Lake. women choosing other contraceptives,” contends journalist curable when spotted “In fact, in cases of cancer of the cervix, it is early, and women on the Pill who receive an annual examination with a gynecologist, probably have the best protection against cancer, she said. However, according to a journal published by the American Cancer Society, “For.many years the profound effects of hormones on cancer In of the breasts and female genital tract have been known doses over a when given in large addition, we know that estrogens, will control pills), as the case of birth in prolonged period of time (such induce tumors of the breast, cervix, pituitary, testicles, kidney and bone marrow in rodents and dogs.” Artificial hormones Gynecologist Harold Speert points out, “One of the problems with the Pill is that people don’t realize that the artificial homrones we’re dealing with in the Pill, are not ‘physiologic’, and therefore, not necessarily safe. They are not the same hormones produced by the body, not by a long shot.” “It was not the honest thing to do to call these hormones Cervical damages “There is reason to believe these studies are applicable to man,” estrogens and progestins,” Speert contend*. “They should be given of which petroleum names like those use the asserts in they industry Roy Hertz, a medical researcher. “There is definitely some risk a chemical arc more deserving.” woman runs of eventually developing cancer from the dangerous levels they wouldn’t to be taking some_ lot of women who want of hormones in birth control pills, although the extent of the risk is “A to into bodies are take every day, willing chemical their undetermined.” petroleum-type Hertz believes that much more research is required, and that something that sounds as though their bodies are producing it anyway. several carefully designed studies should be carried out to resolve this Doctors arc also misled by this kind of labelling,” Speert says. Both advocates and critics seem to agree that the 16 year old Pill is problem as quickly as possible. But until then, Hertz warns, “A woman indeed in a stage of experiment. Dr. Stanford Wessler, Assistant who chooses to take the Pill is running a risk.” Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, said, “None of the Most specialists also agree that a woman who has a strong family history of breast or uterine cancer should not go on the Pill because her ' statistics gathered concerning the Pill are ‘pertinent’.” Wessler argues that the studies of the early 60’s, which approve the hormone drugs are chances of eventually developing the disease are even greater. at Furthermore, Dr. Muron Melamed, a Pathologist clinical studies based on a very small number (100-200) of persons who Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, who bagan a study of cervical cancer in had been taking the Pill for a year or more. In 1962, at a Federal Drug Administration (FDA) conference, Pill-users in 1965,states, “It is quite devious that something is going on Wessler was one of the few doctors who felt the FDA should not in the cervix (of Pill-users), but what it is we don’t know.” After three years, he found that the earliest developing cancers are condone the use of an entirely experimental drug, “while there is evidence of its contribution to deaths from blood clotting disorders.” more prevalent in Pill-users, but was unwilling to conclude that there is any cause and effect relationship, since there are so many other factors involved. Blood dot dangers Blood clotting has probably caused the biggest scare arid posed the greatest threat to Pill-users. The three dangers involved are Vascular disorders Thrombophlebitis (inflamation of a vein, usually in the leg); Pulmonary “Relatively few women are fully acquainted with the metabolic Embolism (migration of a clot to the lungs); and stroke (resulting from and vascular effects of the Pill,” Seaman addes. However, Pill advocates a clot in a blood vessel of the brain)-. The chances of developing any of contend that the newer pills upse a women’s body chemistry far less these are four to six times higher in Pill-users. than early brahds did.

The British Journal of Psychiatry notes that one in three Pill-users develop depressive personality changes. Of 50 who were studied specifically, three became suicidal. , Masters and Johnson have also stated that some women react psychologically to the Pill by losing their interest in sex altogether. Seaman says many women who have stopped taking the Pill reveal that they have felt as if a “great weight had been lifted from them.” Birth defects Finally, women are concerned whether the Pill will affect unborn children. Last May, the British Royal College of General Practitioners found that children of former Pill users had no more abnormalities than the infants of women who had never used the Pill. However, a report from the New York State Health Department maintained that five of 1000 births of infants who were exposed to sex hormones in the early stages of pregnancy showed deformed or missing limbs. Doctors conclude that these infants were bom to mothers who ... , Page eight . The Spectrum . Wednesday, 5 November 1975 —Forrest became pregnant while on the Pill, and who were not aware of their pregnancy until it was too late. Doctors thus advise women who want to become pregnant to avoid any abrupt dbift from the Pill to no contraceptive and suggest an interim method of contraception be Used for a period of three months. Defenders of the Pill insist the disadvantages associated with it are overemphasized. In 1962, a San Antonio doctor set out to prove this. Seventy-six women came to a San Antonio clinic seeking oral contraceptives. They were not, told they were given “dummy” pills, but were only advised to use vaginal cream as added protection. The doctor, Joseph Qoldzieher, reported months later that almost all the women who had been taking the placebo pills complained, of “side effects.” Goldzieher concluded that some reported Pill side effects are largely “psychogenic.” Perhaps women have been taught to be afraid of the Pill, but its critics doubt that cases of severe blood clotting, cervial cancer, and birth defects are merely psychogenic responses to a “safe” drug. �Sperm spear In search of a male contraceptive pill Extensive research has been conducted this year in search of a male conventional surgical reversal techniques were only about 30 percent. contraceptive pill and other alternatives to the widely-used Birth Control Pill. Two Australian biochemists, Michael and Maxine Briggs of Alfred Hospital last year reported the successful control of sperm production with a combination of synthetic hormones used to treat porous bone disease. The doctors, studying two men being treated for Osteoporis with synthetic hormones, found them to be temporarily unfertile. After testing these same hormones as a means of birth control on healthy adult males, the Briggs discovered that they could work without significant side effects. They also administered a synthetic androgen called methyltestosterone and a synthetic estrogen called ethynlestradiol twice daily to five married men. After 18 weeks, all five men had stopped producing sperm, although sexual potency remained the same. The men reported minimal side effects. Three of the five complained of nausea in the first two weeks, but the Briggs state that the nausea might be attributed to psychological causes. Makes sense The team reported no changes in skin, hair, breasts or urination. The contraceptive effects lasted 15 weeks after the men stopped taking the hormones, and normal sperm production was found after 3540 weeks without treatment. The Briggs team suggested that these drugs should be studied further. If such hormones work successfully, as they claim, doses and administration must be worked out. Gabriel Baily, acting chief of the contraceptive development branch within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) says the idea is “perfectly all right and makes scientific sense” but is not sure that it is very practical. Another doctor in Seattle has been conducting similar tests. Alvin Paulsen found that the most effective form of combining male and female hormones for temporary male infertily is to inject a specified amount of testosterone once a month in conjunction with a daily danazol tablet, which is similar to female progesterone. Majority favors pill Side effects are again reported to be minimal. Over ISO men answered advertisements to test the new contraceptive, although only 100 men were called for. “I volunteered because it’s time the male did something about contraception,” explained one of the men. “Contraception is as much my responsibility as a woman’s.” Apparently, he is not alone. In a recent survey, The Spectrum randomly questioned 125 students of this University. Almost 60 percent of the men interviewed claimed that if a male contraceptive pill existed they would take it. Twenty-four percent were against it, and 15 percent were unsure. The same students that would take the male pill stated that currently, they would want their girlfriends or wives to go on the Pill. Over 7& percent of the women said that they would be in favor of their boyfriends or husbands taking a male pill, and an equal amount of women claimed they would go on the Pill themselves. The overwhelming majority of the students felt that the Pill was the most effective means of contraception (besides abstention). Those who would not take the Pill named the side effects as the chief reason. " Reversible vasectomies Currently, NIH is conducting research on both physical approaches to male contraception (such as sperm duct valves) and chemical approaches (such as the Briggs’ and Paulsen’s utilization of chemical hormones). Research on sperm duct valves has turned out to be more complicated than expected and Bialy personally feels that “some type of drug approach” would be more readily available in the near future. However, some doctors are now claiming to perform vasectomies with high percentages of reversibility, reducing one of the complications of the operation. In the past, the average success rate for Dr. Sherman Silber has initiated a new surgical technique of reversal and claims that the first 24 patients who underwent the operation now register a normal sperm count, and 16 of their wives have become pregnant. Another doctor in California claimed a 63 percent rate of reversal in the vasectomies he performed. Sterilizations double “As it becomes known that this can be regularly achieved, we can expect to see even more otherwise reluctant husbands ask earlier for the safest of all birth control methods, vasectomies,” said Silber. “This does not mean that we would routinely recommend vasectomies to men who feel that they might wish to have children, but it will certainly help to make vasectomy even more acceptable than it is now.” In fact, although the number of couples who chose sterilization as a means of birth control at least doubled in the past decade, only 30 percent of the surgeries were performed on men, accoTding to the National Survey of Family Growth. During the last four years, 3.8 million sterilization operations were performed on men and women. Sixteen percent of currently married couples were protected from further child bearing, an increase from 8 percent in 1965. William F. Pratt of the National Center for Health Statistics concluded that the survey indicates there will be another doubling in the proportion of married couples who choose sterilization as a means of birth control. Contraceptive injections Pratt stated that 36 percent of the currently married women in the survey “opt for contraceptive sterilization, their own of their husbands, before the age of 45. Of women under the age of 35, 47 percent eventually expect to seek sterilization. The National Opinion Research Center, which surveyed 9800 women under 45 years old, estimated that by the time of the survey, over 6.6 million surgical sterlizations had already been performed. A new contraceptive drug is currently being administered to women who want to avoid Pill counting. The drug, Depo-Provera (DMPA) is injected into the woman once every three months, eliminating the need for daily attention. DMPA is not being widely used in this country. A spokesperson from the Birth Control Clinic claims that women who want children in the future should not be administered the injection since some women experience a long delay in their return to fertility after they stop taking it. The average delay runs eight months (compared to three to six months for Pill users). A real concern now is that DMPA might cause permanent sterility in some cases. Minimal side effects DMPA also eliminates the monthly menstrual period. Although this would seem unnatural to most people, some doctors view that continual menstruation might even be harmful to the woman. The reliability rate of DMPA is the same as the Pill. The drug is actually a synthetic progestin that acts by blocking the pituitary hormones that stimulate ovulation every month and trigger the elevation of the body’s estrogen level. It has already been approved for contraceptive use in 70 countries. The largest group of users that has been studied is 25,000 women in Thailand who, between 1965 and 1973, received injections of the drug at family planning clinics. By the end of the study, no serious side effects had been reported, and 73 percent of all the patients who came to the clinics each month were choosing DMPA over the other birth-control methods. Dr. Louise Tyrer of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology privately approves of DMPA as an alternative to sterilization for women who want no more children as long as they are examined prior to each injection. ‘The published reports on DMPA suggest that it is a safe and effective method of contraception,” stated Dr. Allen Rosenfield of the Population Council.

Simon and Schuster expects to sell a million copies of this paperback edition of More Joy of Sex to people who were too smart to pay $12.95 for the hardcover edition. If you were one of those people, keep up the good work and save your $5.95 too. Alex Comfort, the “Editor” of More Joy (which certainly reads as though it had been written by a committee) claims in his Preface: “The Joy of Sex, the predecessor of this book, has in one year altered the face of sex education... It was the first explicitly sexual bdok for the coffee table.” More Joy is the second book so intended, with all that that implies. Both books are bestsellers. I can’t imagine why; neither is explicit enough to be titillating, or thorough enough to be truly educational. It’s coffee table sex, all right; but what harmless; they’re serving is Sanka with saccharine but hardly enough to satisfy us caffeine freaks. Any coffee table book has to have lots of pictures. More Joy’s many black-and-white drawings of Beautiful People Making Love are pleasant enough, although only two or three of them show actual penetration, and most of the rest are gratuitous, making only a token effort at illustrating the text. A 30-page color sequence (by another artist) is another matter: I’m afraid this entire section, the Tenderness and entitled ‘‘Body Language Passion of the Act of Love,” gave me the giggles. These drawings, in sickly pastel shades and the kind of bland, greeting-card style found in some children’s books, treat us to garter belts, cunnilingus, tongue-kissing, anal fingering, and general orgasmic ecstasy. It is all in atrocious taste, and about as erotic as last week’s Peanuts strip. You’ll never convince me there’s a recession so long as suckers are willing to pay for this kind of trash. Well, but what about the text? The prose is certainly slick, and has about it an incessant coziness of tone. Comfort (or whoever) did the actual writing) betrays a rather pathetic determination to sound “with-it”: the text is littered with supposedly hip expressions. Group sex can be “mindblowing” and “a religious experience,” or it can be “a bad trip”; oral sex too can be “a heavy trip”; and so on with a grim insistence on the fatiguing coolness of it all. There are cute double entendres, mostly based on the verb to come-, and cunning references to Othello, Blake, Beethoven, Roberta Flack, and even Ariadneauf Naxos: eclectic indeed! Buried beneath this style is plenty of sensible information and argumentation, combined with some nonsense. As a pornographer, I necessarily deal in fantasies, not in reality; and one of the good things about More Joy is the way it explodes many of these sexual myths some long-cherished, others of quite recent origin. To give only one example, the book points out what anybody who’s worked on the set of a blue movie knows: that fellatio alone is not enough to bring many men to orgasm. (So much for all those “throat-flooding geysers of spermatic syrup” 1 dribbled all over the pages of my first book physician, heal thyself! Solution; masturbate the base of his penis while you concentrate your oral efforts on his fenulum; and no, you don’t have to be being “Deep-throated” is more a Linda Lovelace than a physical thrill.) More Joy psychological contains equally valuable material on female orgasm, on overcoming various psychological hang-ups, and — ... — - - on sex for the elderly and the handicapped (a seriously neglected area); but the limitations of space and style keep the discussion on a superficial level. There are too many easy answers to complicated problems. Some of the suggestions are ridiculous: use your slide projector to cast colors and patterns on your bodies as you cavort in the nude. It’s less messy than body painting. Make your own blue movies (who do you get to wield the camera?). Hit each other with foam-rubber bats; bite each other; shove a vibrator up your ass, guys, to find out what being penetrated feels like but don’t forget the sadomasochism is sick! (The book is filled with this sort of implicit self-contradiction; if you use foam rubber, it’s “healthy aggression”; switch to a leather strap, and you’re a pervert. As for that vibrator trick: if you try it, men, use lots of lubricant and insert it gently with the power turned off until it’s in. And be warned that you’ll probably have the most intense orgasm of which could be psychologically your life devastating, if you’re at all insecure about your masculinity. Comfort, of course, doesn’t mention that possibility.) More Joy is ultimately just another sexist book. It pays lip service to women’s lib, but includes this startling bit of advice to teenaged girls who date: “Quite a few cockteasers don’t intend to be so, they just don’t know enough boy physiology: the sight of nice breasts and a few kisses will produce an erection. If this happens and she doesn’t want intercourse, she should tell him she has her period and offer an alternative’’; i.e., masturbation. 1 find this fascinating. The girl is supposed to accept her role as sexual servant of the male, and she is told to tell a flat lie to her boyfriend. (What excuse does she use during the rest of the month?) So much for “honesty in relationships’’ (p. I 10), let alone “the right to say no” (p. 132). The treatment of homosexuality is just as hypocritical. Comfort forces himself to say it’s all right, but clearly doesn’t want to discuss it. In the which is of a surpassing section on group sex silliness anyway lesbian activity is depicted and described (as a turn-on for the men, just as in classic pornography); but men are told they must be content with something ghastly called “a David and Jonathan relationship,” in which they express their affection for each other by “sharing” a woman. How selfishly exploitative can you get? The sexist message is clear: sucking cock and getting fucked up the ass “can be a supreme love-gift to a partner” but only if you’re a woman. The truth, of course, as we’ve known all along, is that this book is just another rip-off designed to exploit inhibited people’s insatiable curiosity about sex. As even the compilers of More Joy admit, true sexual freedom cannot be learned from a book. It requires, first, understanding and acceptance of the self; and, secondly, the additional, bittersweet self-knowledge that comes only from intense emitional and physical committment to others. There is no substitute for experience. In the end, More Joy is strictly for the armchair voyeur. Cream Michael Scott and sugar? . tSW.

If you do, just come to The Student Affairs Task Force meeting Thursday, in room 231 Norton at 3 pm As the Aud was filling up, one could actually feel the electricity of anticipation in the crowd. People were already dancing to the songs on the PA system while the Outlaws (the first warm-up group) were setting up. One knew that there was first rate taste among the groups when they tuned up during an Elton John song (making it inaudible, which was fine as far as this reporter was concerned) but left the Stones’ “Gimme Shelter” in tact. The Outlaws were simply was The band incredible. tight and there was unbelievably between while songs no waiting people were tuning up. “Song in the Breeze” began as a slow, easy turned into a melody and rembunctious rocker. ‘There Goes Another Love Song” (their commercial hit) and “Knoxville” (which was dedicated to Charlie Daniels backstage) were highlights of the set due to some of the finest country guitar picking I’ve ever heard. The finale was, however, their most amazing song about 20 minutes of “Green Fields and High Tides,” with guitar solos left and right. Besides a standing ovation and the traditional clapping and cheering for five minutes afterwards, the Outlaws didn’t come back for an encore. In a way it was better, for they couldn’t have played any song with more exuberance. — Poco and TKO’s story Poco was another altogether.

The Spectrum . page 14— Page eleven �Bills won’t non-chalant their way into the playoff simply not good enough to deserve a playoff berth by Ira Brush man Editor’s note: As the NFL season begins its second half, the Buffalo Bills find themselves struggling to maintain any hopes for a playoff berth, the first step to the Super Bowl. The following two stories explore the pros and cons of the Bills’ team as they begin their final march toward an AFC championship. by David J. Rubin Despite the somewhat surprising successes of the Houston Oilers and the Miami Dolphins, there is no reason why the Buffalo Bills cannot reach the NFL playoffs in 1975. A strong front four and an injury riddled yet tolerable secondary give the Bills a reasonable defense to compliment their explosive offense featuring Joe Ferguson and everybody’s favorite rent-a-car salesman, O.J. Simpson. After a surprising start which included stunning victories over the highly touted Jets and defending world champion Steelcrs, the Bills have steadily lost their competitive edge. They should not have lost to either the Giants or the Dolphins, and should have mauled the Jets again in New York this past Sunday. Serious contenders Despite the subpar games of late, nobody will dispute the ability of the Bills to beat anybody on a given day, and since they trail Miami by just one game, they certainly are still serious contenders for a playoff berth The Bills’ poor performances in recent weeks are explainable. They undoubtedly underestimated the Giants, and they still could have won if John Leypoldt had not blown an easy field goal. Against Miami, Buffalo led for such a large part of the game, that a victory in the Orange Bowl cannot be considered unreasonable. The Jets were also underestimated by the Bills who maybe were looking ahead to this week’s matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. To make the playoffs as AFC East Champion, the Bills would merely have to beat Miami by at least a touchdown, and then match the Dolphins game for game for the remainder of the year. As for a possible wild card berth, the Bills would have to hope that Houston loses at least twice and Pittsburgh once. Both of these possibilities are All Buffalo Bills fanatics had better sit down before reading this article. The Bills won’t make the playoffs this year. The Bills have lost two out of their last three games and would have lost all three if Jet Coach Charlie Winner had been anything more than the worst coach in football. They now have a 5-2 record and trail the rocketing Miami Dolphins who have* won five games in a row, by one game. The Bills have a tough schedule remaining as they must face the Dolphins, the Bengals, the Vikings and the Cardinals, playing only one of those games before their own fans. The combined records of the teams they will face in the second half of the season is an impressive 31-18. Easygoing In contrast, the Dolphins have a relatively easy schedule remaining, as the only teams with winning records they’ve yet to'face are the Oilers and Bills. The combined records of their future opponents is a mediocre 24-25. It is conceivable that the Dolphins won’t lose another game, making it possible for them to close the season at 12-2. The Bills could come in second and still reach the playoffs via the wild card. Admittedly, the Bills O.J. Simpson are in the thick of this race, but the odds are again stacked against them, as it appears they will have to best. However, defense wins games and the Bills are beat out two teams from the AFC Central Division seriously lacking in that department. Their where the Steelers, Bengals and Oilers each have 6-1 secondary has been severely weakened by injuries, records. The schedule-maker has been slightly kinder and their defensive line is nothing to rave about. They rank a dismal 18th in points allowed so far this to the Bills with respect to the wild card as both the season. Steelers and Oilers have tough games ahead. It will be a cold winter for Bills’ fans this year. If it’s playoff action you want, stay warm watching Defense gap So much for cold calculations. The Bills are the Sabres and the Braves. not unrealistic. Tough schedule The Bills schedule is not the easiest, however. They face three of last year’s playoff teams plus Cincinnati. But Miami must still play the Bills and Houston, so neither team will be able to breeze through their schedule. If the Bills plan on making a run for the playoffs, they’re pass defense must improve. The pass rush was not effective against the Jets and that makes the secondary’s job even tougher. Offensively, the Bills are dynamite. Even when the Juice was dried up by the Jets on Sunday, Buffalo was still able to score 24 points. Their only problem has been turnovers. It doesn’t take a George Allen to realize that no matter how many yard O.J. gains, if he fumbles the ball every time, Buffalo won’t win. Buffalo isn’t going to non-chalant its way into the playoffs, but the Bills are not out of it yet either. With better defense, fewer mistakes and a break here and there, Buffalo may find itself at the top of the AFC East after the fourteenth week. TODRY!!

This gradual deterioration with the elimination of started process intercollegiate football, and has continued with funding cutbacks and the elimination of varsity crew, he said. by John Butler Spectrum Staff Writer In a couple of weeks, University students will be able to view television broadcasts of their varsity sports teams in action. Act V, Buffalo’s closed circuit campus television station, will be airing intercollegaite hockey, basketball, wrestling and other sporting events as the year continues. Carl Ferraro, coordinator of these weekly broadcasts, cited a number of reasons for the programs’ airing. He feels there is a general lack of exposure toward sports on campus, and believes that these broadcasts could help- remedy that situation. Ferraro maintains that this program will also promote student interest in sports, while enlivening campus and community relations. Ferraro believes that athletics plays a vital role in college life, and he feels that the lack of concern for sports is a “cardinal sin and a disaster.” He hopes .that with these broadcasts, sports'will create a positive image of this school in the Buffalo community. The first of these programs, which will air on Tuesday evenings, will deal with the thoughts of administrators, coaches, athletes, and students concerning sports on campus, and will allow the viewer a consensus on that topic. The shows will try to alter some of the prevailing attitudes toward sports at this University. The broadcasts will be aired on cable television and in Haas Lounge. Ketter deterred? Ferraro also sees the broadcasts as a means of deterring the ever growing attitude of the Ketter “siCKiE THIS HURSDRY Nov. 6th 10:30 - “You are making the biggest mistake of your life” 11:30 ■m at Rosary Hill College \ WAKE UP ; OR THE ORGANIZATION WILL GET YOU!!!

Edward Doty, vice president for Finance told The Management and must Coop that the Spectrum shut down by Friday, November 7 Ih. (SA) Association Michele Smith first received the unexpected news in a memo from Doty dated October 24, 1975. Doty said in the memo that he was forced to close the Coop upon receipt of a formal protest regarding the Record Coop from Carl C. Cavage, President ofCavages, Inc. the that Cavage charged is “use Record Coop a continuous of the resources of the State of New York to conduct ruinous private with competition further Cavage enterprise.” claimed that the University’s support of the Coop “is contrary to the Charter of the University and a misuse of public tunds.” Student I’rcsident .. Pressure from the Legislature Doty, who was out of town until Thursday, said that if he allowed the Record Coop to remain open, “Cavage could talk firmly with local legislators.” Doty indicated that the state could have great legislature influence over this University, “especially at a time when we are fighting against budget cutbacks." A lawsuit initiated against the University by Cavage would be unlikely, Doty said. SA representatives and their lawyer, Richard Lippes, will meet with Doty tomorrow, but as of Friday, they had not formulated a strategy. A student-run coop was first approved on September 13, 1971, when University President Robert Ketter established three guidelines to which such an enterprise would have to conform. The first guideline required that records be kept of the gross receipts and net income of the Coop which must be presented on a monthly basis to James Gruber. Director of Norton Hall. In turn. Gruber was to have tiled one copy with the University's Business Office. More guidelines Ketter further mandated that the Coop's net proceeds be subject to the same SUNY Board of Trustees regulations which of the expenditure govern students mandatory fees. The final guideline stipulated that “this approval is for the academic year 1971-72, (and it) expires on June 1, 1972, and wdl he renewed only upon application of the SA and a review of the of the 1971-72 results experience Doty charged in Ins memo to Smith that the first and third condition had not been met, and that the University “therefore doesn't know whether condition two has or has not been met.” While admitting that “perhaps I should have come down harder," Doty maintains that on numerous occasions he instructed Gruber to seek monthly statements of the However, one spokesperson for the Coop claimed that because that Van Nortwick advised were statements monthly impractical, Coop representatives worked out a verbal agreement to present with Gruber statements. All semi-annual parties agreed that such a plan would more accurately reflect gross profits, the spokesperson said Informal agreement Gruber and Van Nortwick Since the Coop is not affiliated deny Nortwick that any such agreement was with Sub Board. Van ever made. Any statements which no said he has official connection to it. Me did. however, serve the Gruber received from the Coop were “sporadic,” he said. Coop in an informal, advisory SA is currently investigating its manner, due to its affiliations continued on page 12 with SA Record Coop's financial affairs Gruber, who also admits some degree of negligence, confirmed Doty’s report, but added that each time he received a reminder from Doty, he spoke with the of the Coop or managers conveyed the message to Tom Van Nortwick, treasurer of Sub Board, Inc. Intercollegiates Ketter says coaches’ salaries safe till 1977 Demonstrators support WSC Over 100 people joined members of Women’s Studies College (WSC) in an orderly picket line around Hayes Hall Friday to express support for the survival of the WSC program.

Although the College comply with this order, to has agreed administration officials gave no indication whether they would still discontinue WSC funding and pull its courses out of the Admissions and Records computer for the spring semester. The march, which began at 12 noon in the Norton Fountain area and ended promptly at 1 p.m. was kicked off by an array of original songs, including one to the tune of “Clementine” with the chorus. Stop the deadlines, stop the deadlines, Stop the deadlines now today We are going to keep the College Women’s Studies is here to stay. On the lighter side, WSC supporters, in their efforts not to let Halloween pass them by, selected a line from Shakespeare's A/ac/rc/ft which they chanted as follows: Double, bubble, war ami rubble, when you mess with women, you'll be in trouble. The Athletic Department has been assured by President Robert Ketter that the salaries of the intercollegiate athletic coaches will be maintained through the 1976 77 academic year. The salary lines were slated to be cut from the Faculty of Health Sciences budget during the summer as a result of belt-lightening measures imposed by the University. Ketter made the assurances to Harry Fritz, Dean of the School of Health Education, at a meeting of administration and Athletic Department officials last week A panel to study intramural and intercollegiate programs at the University and to make recommendations about continued funding will soon be appointed by Ketter. Nominations for this committee froiri constituency groups here are now being solicited, and the panel is expected to make its recommendations before the end of the academic year. Fluctuating support University Information Services Director Jim DeSantis said the panel will “look at the whole thing in depth,” and examine all aspects of the Athletic Department’s operations and future prospects. He said athletics have had “fluctuating support” on campus for some time, and there hasn’t been a panel of this kind in at least ten years. Thomas Craine, assistant to Ketter, agreed that athletics “have been a problem.” He said he did not know where the funds for the coaches’ salaries for 1976 77 would come from, but denied they would come out of the possible closing of Women’s Studies College, which could free $39,000. “There is no connection between that and any other program at this University,” he said since, “things are examined on their own merits Frit/ was unavailable for comment, but Assistant Dean Thomas McIntyre said the Department had no comment at this time. �Equal Rights amendment on the Equal Rights Amendment Volunteers are needed to distribute information Erie County on election day, Tuesday. at various polling places throughout a meeting of the Coalition for ERA to attend November 4.

The Senate Committee Affairs Veterans estimates that education benefits for veterans this year will cost the government S6.2 billion a hefty increase over the $4 billion predicted in President Ford’s budget last February.

Now officially considered a “College Workshop,” ILC will go before the College Charter Committee in January 1976. As a College Workshop, the Center will “develop its academic programs, achieve interaction between faculty and students, and, most importantly, write its charter,” explained assistant director of Foreign Affairs Kirk Robey. According to the “Prospectus for the Colleges,” every new college must begin with Workshop status for at least one semester befpre being considered for chartering. College Dean Irving Spitzberg said presently, ILC conducts “social activities, but there is no coherent academic program as a part of the residential system. To create a living-learning program, ILC needs an academic program.” In order to academically satisfy the international interests of students, an international college must be developed, said Spitzberg. I SUNY Geneseo Protest against budget cuts by Paul Buttino Sense of community Spectrum Staff Writer In addition, he noted that the College’s development “seemsappropriate” since ILC creates a sense of community in Ellicott that Over 1,000 State University (SUNY) students fits into the Collegiate system. However, Spitzberg indicated that the creation of a college is rallied at Geneseo Thursday to express concern over impossible unless there is strong faculty and student interest in the the expected devastating effect New York City’s project.

Shank foresees a state bankruptcy “much worse than the crash” of 1929, and urges everyone to write Ford and give him that message. State-wide barometer Kirkpatrick said the present situation can be used as a state-wide “barometer.” ‘The City University of New York has undergone budget reductions upwards of 100 million dollars, and they haven’t been given any reasonable plan for implementing those reductions.” Kirkpatrick speculated that if the federal government aids New York state, the federal government will move in and assume considerable control. He added that the new SUNY bddget continues a trend of more students per faculty member on all campuses. “For the past five years, the student-faculty ration has been gradually increasing. Classes have been getting larger every year.” Kirkpatrick said Congress is “playing around” with efforts to bail out New York City. ‘They are toying with a number of bills . . which are related to the kind of assistance Governor Carey is asking for.” The problem, Kirkpatrick went on to explain, is the tying in of these bills with mandated increases in New York state taxes. . Limited resources Asked if the federal government is the only institution that can effectively help New York City at this time, he replied that although the state backed New York City’s bonds and outstanding debts, “the state doesn’t have unlimited resources.” Meanwhile, State University at Buffalo Student Association (SA) President Michele Smith said her organization was concentrating its etlorts on a letter writing campaign. She said the campus student governments had drafted a letter to President Robert Ketter requesting that he set up a committee to coordinate efforts against SUNY cuts here. Tables are set up on the Amherst and Mam Street Campuses to inform students of SUNY s impending trouble and to encourage people to write President Ford and Congress. What New York City is asking for, he went on, is a guarantee for $6 billion worth of bonds. It s obvious the federal government is the solution of last resort Students at Brockport report plans for a rally next week with members of the Governor’s office the State Legislature and Faculty-Senate. A moratorium on classes is also being considered. Most colleges and universities plan a moratorium of classes on November 18, in conjunction with a lobby in Washington, D.C. by representatives of most SUNY schools for aid to New York City.

The students remained in his office last Thursday and Friday and threatened to stay all weekend. Purchase is a small, arts-oriented college located fifteen miles outside New York ■City in suburban Westchester County. The students vowed to stay the weekend unless SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer can assure the College in writing that the Film program will not be eliminated, as SUNY is rumored to be considering, and that $350,000 for film equipment, appropriated two years ago, but never spent, be released to Purchase. As The Spectrum went to press, Kaplan had been unsuccessful in attempts to reach Boyer before the weekend. The film students insist that the promised film equipment is absolutely essential to finish required projects. The students also were protesting the dropping of plans to build a Theater Arts building on the still uncompleted Purchase campus. Town meeting The sit-in started when 60 film students occupied Kaplan's ollice at 9 a.m. Thursday morning. They were joined by 200 other students when a “town meeting’’ between Purchase students, laculty and administration broke up at 8:30 p.m. Thursday night. Vice President for the Arts John Strauss told the students, “there are no plans to discontinue the (film) program. There are no plans to cut back, and there is no freeze on funds. That doesn’t mean there won’t be one, but there isn’t one now." The Film Division is operating under the same budget it has had for the past three years, despite a quadrupling of film students during that time, students in Kaplan’s office said In addition, radio and television programs that the Purchase catalogue says are offered by the Film Division have yet to materialize, despite mention in catalogues going hack to 1672. According to protesting students, a film professor privy to discussions on* the future of the program “leaked" the information that the program might be cut, sparking the sit-in and other protests Coed living policies ease up by Cynthia Crossen Special to The Spectrum University rules against men and (CPS) women spending the night under the same roof have - relaxed somewhat in recent months, but outright cohabitation is still against most official policy. More campus dorms have been converting to coed living, visitation hours on many campuses run all day every day and some local officials won’t other unless enforce anti-cohabitation laws complaints are involved. But most university administrators still maintain an official stance against cohabitation and local officials will occasionally enforce the city laws. Farlier this month, 15 University of Montana students learned that local zoning law prohibited cohabitation. The city of Missoula’s building inspector said he doesn’t have the time to check every house in the University area for “zoning violations, but would evict tenants for cohabitation if other complaints were involved. Students living in an apartment complex at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in New York have also tangled with university and local officials over cohabitation policies. In cases where there have been other problems between student tenants and the university landlord, cohabitation has been cause for eviction “We do not condone or allow cohabitation, RIT’s director of Business Services said But “if I just happen to know we have a situation possibly violating the lease but there aren't any other problems such as dogs or cals, it is practically impossible for us to police who is living in apartments,” he added if not schools, coed living, At othef cohabitation, is making advances. A university apartment in Oregon is now officially coed, a first for the University of Oregon Changes there were easier than in other university housing since the building was originally designed as an apartment house with separate bathrooms and living rooms At some schools, like Standford University, the dorms are coed by floor or corridor and have been very popular with students for several years. One student claimed that Stanford’s dorms had optional coed rooms, but university housing officials said it was not authorized by them. “Things like that do occur but it’s not university policy,” a spokesman said. “But coed situations aren’t usually associated with a lot of problems.” Coed dorms at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Ceneseo have worked out so well that students camp overnight in front of the housing office to reserve a room in one. The dorms there are coed by floor or suite and there is a 24-hour visitation policy for everyone but the coed-by-suile dorms, l or these close quarters the University requires an 8-hour break in visitation hours every night. for the policy, as the (>eneseo President explained, are that there is no way to 24-hour enforce cohabitation restrictions with visitation and that everyone should have the fight to study without the boy or girlfriend of the roommate around. The irony, according to one resident advisor there, is that no one bothers to enforce the no-cohabitation rule anyway Students at the University of South Carolina were told they could integrate one of their women’s dorms without any request or agreement from the women who live in it In fact, many of the women were “shocked" at the proposal The president of the dorm claimed that the plan was "too liberal for many of the girls in the dorm Dorm residents will have the final say on the coed proposal but the Dean of Residence Life has already come out in favor of the idea. “Coed living can be an enjoyable experience educationally,” he said “f rom my own experience, I can say that it does not lead to promiscuity which the press would have us believe The reasons ” ADVERTISEMENT WAS RUN IN THE OCTOBER 30th EDITION OF THIS Opinion THE LAW SCHOOL NEWSPAPER WHY WE URGE YOU TO VOTE NED REGAN FOR COUNTY EXECUTIVE as law students we Some of us have had the chance to work in the county Government; are all concerned with government.

THE STROH BREWERY COMPANY, DETROIT, MICHIGAN 4S31« �County Executive Dekdebrun and Regan vie for the same position by Pat Quinlivan City Editor “People are afraid of big government,” says Ned Regan, Republican candidate for County Executive. “Things are getting out of hand. And they’re uneasy about things they don’t have any control over, like inflation and unemployment.” Regan is running for re-election to the County Executive spot, although riding might be a better word for it. This past Tuesday evening, for example, he made five campaign appearances in three hours before gatherings ranging from 25 to 2000 people. Speaking before a large group of Tonawanda at the Republicans Hearthstone Manor in Depew, Regan boasted that Erie County has the “strongest government in upstate New York.” “We have maintained a degree of fiscal stability that keeps our credit bond rating at double-A, and that rating has been reaffirmed and reaffirmed again,” he involvement and spirit. A short while before that, he had been the “dishonored” guest of the Niagara Frontier Builders Association in a meeting at the Pellamwood House in West Seneca. This group is currently suing Regan for $ 1,000,000 for his imposition of a building moratorium in several sewer districts of the county, around the Southtowns area. Regan told his somewhat hostile audience that he was willing to work with them on the problem, but explained the difficulties that faced him when he came into office. So bad “Four years ago,” he asserted, “the water pollution programs in Erie County were so bad that the state people wouldn’t even talk to the county people. Two weeks ago, an Environmental Protection Agency related. Earlier, Regan told a reporter from The with him, that Spectrum traveling government has a responsibility to help the elderly, but it is equally important that the people do not let the government carry too large a share of the burden. Personal interest “The problem is that once government gets its hands on something, it tends to take it over,” Regan noted. He stressed that the people must take a personal interest in the well-being of the elderly of their families and their communities. While gobbling down a sandwich in his car (which is being rented by his campaign committee), Regan told of a question he had from a teenager earlier that day, at a high school discussion group conducted at Medaille College. ‘The student asked why we do things for the elderly all the time, and not for the kids, and I told her that you have to make your presence felt. ‘Register to vote! All those elderly people are registered, and you better believe they vote in every election!’, I said. Regan then remarked on a group of generally older people he had briefly addressed at the start of his travels that night, the Central Park Men’s Club. He said they “help keep the Central Park area a solid neighborhood,” through community action, one of his favorite themes. ” Enjoys his work As he neared the end of a fourteen-hour day of official and campaign activities, Regan made an unscheduled stop at a Buffalo Bills Booster Club meeting, when asked to do so. There he praised both the Bills and their fans for their community Editor’s note: The Spectrum City Editor Pat Quinlivan spent time with both major candidates for the office of County Executive this past week. He traveled with Ned Regan on Tuesday night, accompanying him on a campaign swing through the county. On Thursday afternoon, he interviewed Al Dekdebrun for about forty minutes at Erie County Democratic Headquarters on a wide range of topics. Both candidates were extremely cooperative, and every effort was made by the writer to provide fair and impartial coverage, in spite of the differing circumstances. by Pat Quinlivan City Editor “The real issue in this campaign is the local economic situation,” claims A1 Dekdebrun, Amherst Supervisor and Democratic candidate for County Executive. Dekdebrun says that the solution to this problem is contained in his 18-point program for economic development, which has been garnered from the successful procedures used by other cities and towns which faced fiscal crises similar to that of the Niagara Frontier. The 54-year-old former football star says that when County Executive Ned Regan was running four years ago, he said his highest priority would be to provide jobs for the area. Since that time, Dekdebrun points out, 43 plants and companies have left Western New York, and the number of unemployed has increased from 50,000 to 80,000. “We can fight back, and nobody can tell me we can’t bring industry back into this area,” Dekdebrun insisted. He noted that 80,000 young people have moved away from the area in the last 15 years “You know as well as I do what that will mean if we don’t do something about it we’ll have all consumers and no producers.” lost. Now Erie County will have to pay at least 8'/4 percent on those bonds, because the five-year limit on selling them will expire in February. He (Regan) must be held accountable.” In a campaign appearance at the Club Como in South Buffalo, Dekdebrun blasted the County Executive for increasing the number of people on the county payroll. — — Ned Regan (EPA) man said Erie had the most programs going for water pollution of any county in the country! That’s progress, and that’s real progress!” As for the claims of his major opponent, Al Dekdebrun, that he [Dekdebrun) had a sewage treatment plant built in Amherst that was 87‘A percent federally and state-funded, Regan replied that he, as County Executive, took the Amherst people to Washington, where they met the EPA officials, who then allocated $ 120 million to the Amherst project. He added, ‘‘If not for myself in County government, Amherst sewers wouldn’t be in the improved shape they’re in now.” Regan assured the builders that he believed ‘‘the need for housing is as strong as the need for water pollution abatement,” but made it clear that “houses can go up only as fast as there are sewers • -continued on page 6 There are (wo minor party candidates for County executive this year. Neither of them has held any elective office before in Erie County. Harold W. Schroeder is the Conservative candidate. He defeated County Executive Ned Regan for the nomination by a slim 18 votes in the primary. Schroeder’s espoused program is to cut government to the minimum, in order to reduce taxes. His campaign headquarters said he would not speak to a reporter from The Spectrum The Liberal Party candidate is Donna J. Luh. She has been active in the upper echelons of the local Liberal Party for several years. Many attractions The candidate pointed out that the Buffalo area has a lot of things which could attract businesses, such as power, water, transportation and land, as well as recreational, educational and cultural attractions What Erie County needs, Dekdebrun spirit. “We have to instill more pride, more spirit into the people of this community.” The primary tool for the improvement of Erie County’s economy, Dekdebrun believes, is the creation of an Industrial Development Committee, similar to the one he started in Amherst, to bring new businesses to the area. “Fifty percent of my time as County Executive will have to be put into the Industrial Development Committee; getting the proper people for it ami getting it rolling,” he told The Spectrum. Dekdebrun lashed out at his major opponent, Regan, and his handling of the county bonds that were used to build Rich Stadium says, is more community Bonds not sold Commenting on the fact that $14 million worth of the stadium bonds have not yet been sold, Dekdebrun charged, ‘They gambled, thinking they could get a better deal than or 4 percent, and they Al Dekdebrun He said that in 1971, there were approximately 9,500 county employees, and although the County Executive has denied any large increase in the size of the county’s payroll, County Legislator Ray Gallagher of Lackawanna and South Buffalo received a computer printout last February which showed that the county employed 12,545 people. On another economic front, Dekdebrun hammered away at Regan for his refusal to release next year’s county budget before the election, and claimed that a tax increase was in store for the voters. Down the road’ Speaking at Pangel’s Bar and Grill on Abbott Road, before a crowd of Democratic party workers, Dekdebrun said that the time when Erie County will pay for Regan’s policies is “down the road,” but it is coming soon, nevertheless. Facing the difficult question of the relationship that should exist between the people and their government, Dekdebrun said that “centralization has its benefits, but local autonomy must not be trampled upon,” although the latter can and does sometimes result in duplication of services. Dekdebrun admits that he should have taken a different stand on the stadium —continued on page 6 — vote! Monday, 3 November 1975 . The Spectrum .

It should have been downtown, and it should have been a combination stadium.” He based this opinion, in part, on his observations of cities such as Atlanta and Cincinnati, which built downtown stadia that gave re-birth to their downtown areas, both during the day and at night. Ford’s attitude The plight of New York City bothers him, in particular the attitude of President Ford and his administration. “Here we’re dealing with human beings, and they’re taking the attitude they’re taking,” he said, shaking his head. Dekdebrun favors federal aid to New York — in the form of a guaranteed loan, and with a federal team of economic experts overseeing the city’s recuperation. As the campaign draws to a close, Dekdebrun sighs and says, “1 must have shaken 50,000 hands since June,” when he started his fight for the Democratic nomination. He feels that the Conservative candidate, Harold W. Schroeder, will help his candidacy, by drawing off disgruntled Republicans who might not be able to bring themselves to vote for a Democrat. Dekdebrun cited a poll which showed himself and Regan tied, with a substantial percentage of the voters, 27 percent, undecided. He said that it will be “a horse t race.” �RECORDS Phil Everly, Mystic Line (Pye Records) During the 1950’s and early 60’s Phil Everly composed and recorded dozens of hits as one half of the Everly Brothers, the other member being his brother Don. The Everly Brothers remained a duo up until 1974 when commercial disappointment led to the dissolution of their musical partnership. Since then, they’ve each gone their separate ways. Phil signed with Pye Records after putting out one financially disastrous album on Warner Brothers. Don should be coming out with an album in the near future. Phil’s album was his second effort of 1975 and his most experimental. Everly not only does his country-rock ballads, but hard rockers, and even a reggae tune in his remake of “Whfen Will 1 Be Loved.” Though his diversity shows he’s progressing musically, and not stagnating like many of the artists of the 50’s, most of the tracks are no better than mediocre. The music is pleasant and free flowing but leaves one with the feeling you’ve heard it all before. Nothing really stands out as a “Laughter In The Rain” stood out for Sedaka, or that would bring Everly back to the limelight. The album isn’t bad, but for Phil Everly to make a successful comeback he needs something out of the ordinary. Every week dozens of albums comparable in quality to Mystic Line are released. Unfortunately, only a minute percentage of these albums sell and most of the albums that do are by established artists. Thus, though this album is more than respectable, it’s riot enough. Everly will have to come out with an outstanding disc in order to break through the commercial barrier of rock music. Otherwise he’ll wind up drifting from label to label, sliding into rock music oblivion. Perhaps Everly is no longer the writer and musician he once was; this may just be his best efforts. Certainly, nothing here compares with the Everly of 1960, though in 1960 Phil Everly was at the peak of his creative energies. The album’s diversity is one of Its chief assets and the vocal work is above average. However, the album as a whole is stamped with mediocrity. If Phil Everly wants to come back, he’ll have to come up —Steven Brieff with something better than this. , along quite well. His experimenting finished. Mason finally gets back to business with a nice melody and some effective slide work. The rest of the album is Dave Mason as 1 remember him, not too loud but very effective. I hate to call him mellow (the term is often abused) but he is. His guitar work is intricate yet melodic, his sad love songs wandering further away with each new chord. And even though he does it album after album, 1 never tire of it. But these are the good old days, remember? And see, things haven’t changed all that much. Dave Mason is still Dave Mason, and it’s unlikely he’ll ever change. The million people who usually buy his records probably hope he never will either. -John Trigilio Com. on down Last Chance New Clan Starts Nov. 6th UB KOREAN STYLE - JM m, //A|||\| C * Dave Mason, Split Coconut, (Columbia) The more things change, the more they stay the same, as the saying goes. Rock musicians always seem to be undergoing some sort of change but most of the time they end up with the same formula that has kept them around in the first place. Basically, this is what happened to Dave Mason with his latest album. Split Coconut. First impressions are usually deceptive, and this is no exception. What starts out as a different Mason ends up in typical Mason-style, and the transition is so subtle that the listener doesn’t care to notice what’s really happened. But that’s just it. Nothing has happened. Good ol’ Dave tries to fool us for a while with a little change of style, but he still knows how to sell his albums. Time and travel haven’t eroded his unique style, and he might as well get it while he can. Side one is where he tries to fool us. The first cut, the title track, is mostly an instrumental Latin-rock number, although not quite the same Latin-rock that Santana made famous. This is lighter, bouncier, happier; it’s carefree and continuous, and Mason lets Mark Jordan have most of the fun with his keyboards and clarinet. But the familiar guitar is still there even though the setting has changed. The very next song takes us even farther into the tropics and leaves me wondering what the hell Mason is doing. It is unlike anything he’s ever done before, and the lack of his guitar leaves too many voids to make this song go. “Crying, Waiting, and Hoping” left me crying, waiting and hoping for my old idol’s return. The next song gets the album on track. “You can Lose It” is cut in the traditional model, and David Crosby and Graham Nash’s harmonies help it 4:30 5:30pm T ~—' Oan Tim.

Page seven �Broken record To the Editor: With the current action of the administration concerning the closing of the Record Coop here, the administration has opened a “Pandora’s Box” not only for itself, but for the entire University community as well. In the past two months, I, as an out of state student, have witnessed too many cut-backs in my educational experience here at Buffalo because of a state financial dilemma for which I am in no way responsible. This most recent action only heightens my anger. Mr. Cavage, through his actions, is taking an action which I feel is both outrageous and illegal. The Record Coop is a non-profit organization which provides a service for students of this University. Mr. Cavage, in an effort to remove competition from his sphere of livelihood, is coming dangerously close to a violation of anti-trust laws. If indeed the Record Coop is closed, will Mr. Cavage then have the right to ask for the closing of the “Record Runner” store four doors to the left of the Cavage’s in University Plaza? It too competes for the patronage of the entire Buffalo community. Secondly, how much business does the Record Coop actually take away from Cavage’s total income per year? If indeed the Coop is a direct threat to Mr. Cavage’s livelihood, I for one would like to see authenticated figures to prove this fact. Third, the action of the administration prompts another thought. If President Ketter were to receive a formal complaint from the major transportation corporations operating in Buffalo, would he abolish and take action against people attempting to use a “ride board” to find an affordable means of transportation to wherever they are going? What about the pharmacy which is due to go into operation here on campus sometime in the near future? President Ketter has given himself the power to shut down any University service in assuming the role of a veritable dictator. Where does this leave us? 1 for one am tired of being informed of further cut-backs on an almost constant basis, by an administration which obviously has no concern for its student body. The administration itself is beginning to sound like a broken record. I appeal to each and every student of this University to come out of his or her shell and let the administration know how you feel after all, it’s your University and you are paying for it . . . — Daniel A. Neeb The Ultimate To the Editor. I’m not sure I understand what David Rubin’s point was in his “Bullpen” column last Friday. If he was attempting to compare Ultimate Frisbee to dodge ball or shuffleboard, then he obviously has no of the game. First, Ultimate Frisbee (perhaps in part because of its novelty), is much more exciting than baseball, as good exercise as practically any sport on campus, and requires less equipment than intramural football. Second, in our first home game, on the desolate Amherst Campus, we had a better crowd than (varsity) cross country, (varsity) soccer or (varsity) tennis have probably ever had here. In fact, the student turnout would probably equal that of some basketball games in Clark Gym. I doubt that even Rubin’s ingenious intramural parking would get that kind of response on this campus. understanding Mark Schumacher Captain, UB Frisbee Team The Spectrum Monday, 3 November 1975 32 Vol. 26, No. Editor-in-Chief — Amy Dunkln Richard Korman Managing Editor Advertising Manager - Gerry McKeen Business Manager Howard Koenig — — Backpage Campus City Composition Copy Feature .

Spending a weekend in Seattle for a conference recently reminded me of how some of the rest of the world lives. I put my sun glasses somewhere the first day 1 was there and was afraid I had lost them on the way home, since it had been unnecessary to use them. When I mentioned this to a Washington resident flying east, he pointed out that it had been similar weather for another week before I arrived, making it many consecutive days of gloom and light drizzle. I sit here chillier than I would like, since we still haven’t gotten the landlord to fix part of our heat, and unhappy about that. On the other hand, the reality is that we have probably seen more in a two week period' than Washington, state of, is liable to see between now and the new year. It is admittedly hard to hear this read it? when the weather stirs memories of struggling through the teeth of a 30 mph gale driving a great deal of snow in front of it. And the woolly worms have thick bands this year. Where was it that I heard that the U.S. government was setting up a woolly worm research center to investigate how accurately said woolly worms do predict the weather? Which has to be a fascinating can of worms for the U.S. government to be involved in. Almost as fascinating as the refusal by the federalists to be involved in the New York City fiscal mess. I have not seen a breakdown anywhere of what the City of New York residents pay in taxes to the U.S. government and the state of New York, both individual and corporation, but I have this If £ suspicion that what is paid out far exceeds what is paid in. If Mailer and Breslin had been l~\ Vl/vlA l/Vi If Lf elected some years ago and succeeded from at least the state tomorrow the world! by S( eese perhaps the state would be defunct Possible histories aside, the decision by Ford to stand fast on New York City being not given a penny is, quite simply, stupid. Well, not everybody’s perfect, and he is at least consistent! Where were all these gripes and bitches when the Lockheed loan situation came up not so terribly long ago. Those folks are supposed to make a profit, and when they blew it here comes Uncle Sugar to bail out a frankly capitalistic enterprise. I may be a little odd, but it does seem to me that New York City is at least as important to the national defense picture as Lockheed. On the other hand, if New York City does default it may be that Kissinger can swap it for something or other that the Russians have that he wants, this week. Maybe if he threw in Long Island for use as a missile base they would take it. Fearless Gerald Ford, always ready to make the hard decision that will out-flank Ronald Reagan, the silver tongued grey haired boy (?) wonder of the right. Look at it this way, folks, if Humphrey wins the Democratic nomination, and Wallace forms a third party, and Ford holds on to the Republican nomination and Reagan bolts to form an alternate — — flftll — — - you will be able to a fourth party? third party? Ford and Wallace, Humphrey, between choose to believe that Abe supposed And I’m Reagan. Beame is incompetent? How much worse can he be in comparison with that can anyone be conglomeration? Pardon me whilst I be bitter. It is the middle of the political clap trap season and it is very difficult to avoid the onslaught, no matter what the variety of media involved. There seems to be very little worth getting excited about, with the notable exception of the ERA. Which is sure as hell going to pass some day, one way or another, as it so richly deserves to this time around. So it might as well be now and save everyone a lot of grief. It is peculiar to watch people duck, wobble and evade some issues. The Equal Rights Amendment seems to clearly be one such an issue. Erich Fromm wrote a book called “Escape from Freedom,” a fair while back. About how people would sometimes rather live restricted than face the problems of having to make choices. Being a man who still has a number of unsettled issues around woman, purely personal neuroses of one sort or another, it is easier for me to understand why men are scared of anything that might in any way make women in general more threatening. Let us be clear that the “more threatening” refers to subjective judgments made by those threatened by the ERA, there being nothing in the amendment that won’t give women the same rights that men already have. If men in general haven’t done so well with them, that hardly seems a reason to deny them to women because some of them might do better. Which I suppose is one “threatening” possibility. If everybody turns out to be competent at just about everything, how will anybody be able to tell who is superior? Enough about men. A fear of freedom seems clearest in those women who don’t wany any possible threat to their way of life. And who have somehow seized on the ERA as the evil which seeks to deprive them of the security of sameness. There is an old song about a bird in a gilded cage, who is “.. . more to be pitied than censured.” Efforts to be romantic, and to control all change by stopping it, can only cause even more problems than allowing something to grow unchecked. It is a complex world, to simplify it to absurdity is worse than stupid, it is dangerous. It is a denial of growth. To say that men and women aren’t legally equal is to say that there are two species sharing this planet. While they may look very similar, and be very nice to have around for a variety of reasons, they are basically different. After all if God had wanted us to be equal, we would all have breasts and a penis, right? Sorry, I have been listening to too many political speeches, too many endless hours of rhetorical questions about the state of the economy being everybody elses’ fault. Did you remember to give Abe Beame a quarter when he came to your door on Halloween? You are a nice person. Pax. Live well. Stay warm and vote for the ERA. - - - - Unfair competition To the Editor. Corner Store. It’s big business, Mr. Cavage, and if you can’t take the competition, don’t try to form a I was shocked at the article that let us all know that the Coop is closing down. I think the reasons for closing are an excuse. If Mr. Cavage feels that our Coop is hurting his business, why doesn’t he lower his prices somewhat? True, he can’t equal our prices, but he could compete. He has several other stores which do not even, and would not, attract University business. So what is his complaint? His prices are among the highest and even without the Coop, I will not, and urge others not to patronize Mr. Cavage’s stores in any manner. When the Corner Stores near my house lowered milk prices, the Mesmer’s nearby also had to lower their prices, though reluctantly, to compete with the monopoly. I m also stunned that the University would go along with Mr. Cavage. If he wants a suit, let him have one. We could raise prices only $.25, we would then be making profits (which could be put to good use) and would maintain a student favorite and an educational advancement in business for those associated with the Coop. Again, I urge total non-patronizing of Mr Cavage’s stores and urge the University to look deeper into this situation. We want the Coop, and thus should have it. Name withheld upon request Flower budget To the Editor. I am a member of a department that is crying for money. Recently two instructors were denied tenure and because of budget cuts, cannot be replaced. This circumstance concomittantly wiped out one specialty area in the department. My questions are: 1. Who pays for all the pretty flowers planted on our campuses all year long? 2. How much does it cost for the flowers and the labor to plant, and otherwise weed our flower gardens, as I witnessed last week? 3. Are flowers more important than educational services? 4. If for some perfectly idiotic reason, which I sure is not beyond you or any other members of the administration, there has been money allocated for planting flowers that cannot be used for more worthwhile services, I would like to request more pink pansies and lovely little lemon yellow lilacs planted this year, since these are our favorites. Say it with flowers. am AI Gae P Tunia P.S. I anxiously await your response �Open letter Editor’s Note: The following is an open letter to the student body from the Student Association and the Inter-Residence Council. A crisis situation now exists that could affect you as a student at the State University of New York at Buffalo. There is a strong possibility that New York State will default by the end of this year if New York City is allowed to default on December 1. The main reason for this is because the market has linked New York State bonds with New York .City bonds. If this happens, although no one knows the exact implications of a default we can be certain of one thing it will threaten the quality of our entire - University system. Don’t shun this matter off your shoulder and think “This won’t affect me.” The fact is that the New York City and the New York State default will affect YOU. It could raise YOUR tuition and decrease the quality of YOUR education. Also, default would mean drastic program cuts and large scale retrenchment of faculty. Beyond the implications a default will have on the State University, there will be massive lay-offs of state employees, no available part time jobs and termination of many social service programs. Remember, SUNY is the largest employer in Western New York. These people cannot afford to lose their jobs now. Student Association has decided to take action. Across the state, students are embarking upon a mass letter writing campaign. This effort will culminate in a SUNY student rally in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, November 18. We are urging our representatives to vote for any bill that will federally insure New York bonds. This solution will cost no one anything and brings in money for the federal government from taxes on the bonds. New York City will have to balance its budget because an Emergency Financial Control Board will be set up by the federal government to monitor the city’s spending. It is up to you to decide the future of your education. Write a letter to your representative today and volunteer to join the effort. Self-defense To the Editor. Stating that Zionism is a form of racism is a flagrant example of anti-semitism. All other arguments are semantics. Zion is just another name for Israel. The right of a Jew to live in Israel is not open to questioning by murderous terrorists. It seems that the world community has completely forgotten the recent, very recent, 1940’s genocide committeed against the Jews under the watchful silence of world communities.

This consortium of self-interested “pinacles of interests of area businessmen and politicians. The responsibility for this rests solely on the community” relegates State University to the President Robert Ketter.

If Ketter had publicly rejected any Ketter’s philosophy of students, however, is compromise in academic quality as a basis of The administration’s decision to close the Record Coop does not come as a surprise in light of the University’s increasing willingness to not unique. The Ford Administration has recently deemed college students unworthy of U.S. because they Coupons Government Food “voluntarily choose to be unemployed.” Is that why Richard Nixon is getting after “voluntarily” resigning? over $150,000 a year While Ketter may be a man of much integrity and determination, shown in a genuine desire to act in the best interests of the University, his philosophy has become warped and destructive, yet prevent and may this institution from becoming an important contributor to the academic world. Ketter fails to recognize that University administration bears a greater burden than merely allocating budgets, building facilities, and stuffing students into them. His engineering background has apparently robbed him of the ability to create the atmosphere of pride and purpose needed to allow the academic and social processes to merge and mature into an educational experience. Former President Martin Meyerson, with his faults, was at least able to excite the University into realizing its potential. Ketter was pushed down our throats a stagnating businessman whose job was to stifle the flow of adrenaline; a job he has done well. All Ketter can hope to leave the University is a big campus and tens of thousands of students and - support for Amherst, we would have gotten the campus anyway (what city official does not recognize the economic and cultural benefits of a great new campus). Besides, a University that is willing to stand up for its academic freedom attracts better students and higher quality faculty, which would be more advantageous for the city of Buffalo than factory-forcing students through four years of school. The University, through Ketter, is being coaxed into an educational graveyard built and maintained by SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer. That cannot continue. We must clearly distinguish ourselves from the rest of the downtrodden State University. Even if that means less money, the University will be better off in the long run. We are going nowhere now. Rockefeller had a great idea. He wanted to create a State University system that New Yorkers could be proud of, knowing full well that the entire state would benefit. But this vision died several years ago. We are left now with a President that sees only as far as his next five-year appointment, a Chancellor that looks forward to his big meetings in Washington, a banker-ridden all-powerful Board of Trustees in Albany that closely examines the Wall Street tickertape, and, of course, the politicians whose commitments go as far as the next election. To the Editor. This is an open letter to Mr. Edward Doty It has come to our attention that various enterprises operated by the FSA, IRCB Inc., Sub Board Inc., The Spectrum Student Periodical Inc , and the center lounge of Norton Hall use resources of the State of New York to conduct a ruinous competition with private local businesses. If Mr. Carl Cavage succeeds in closing down the Record Coop, then surely in the name of fairness, Campus Super Duper should force the closing of the food stores operated by the business arm of the Inter-Residence Council, citing Cavage vs. Record Coop as its reasoning. Similar lawsuits would then be filed by Buffalo Textbooks vs. University Bookstore, Lee’s Drugstore vs. Norton Candy W T. Grant Counter, the Buffalo Evening News and Courier Express vs. The Spectrum and the Broadway Market vs. Norton center lounge. The University does not earn any money from renting out the space used by these businesses, and therefore gives these organizations an undue edge over the local businesses in the city of Buffalo. If the University is in such a good financial status that it does not have to charge rent to some of its largest & tenants, then why is the University’s budget being frozen? Have we accumulated more money than we need, and then decide to return the money back to Albany so that New York City can survive? We should clear all of these business enterprises off of our campus so that we may spend all of our energies on education. Let the stores operate off campus, and if the students complain about not having a candy counter anymore, reply, “LET THEM EAT BREAD.” give them the Represent students price.

Records have gotten expensive enough, through inflation and the vinyl shortage. Students have ce together and volunteered their time free to help one another have access to music at a more reasonable a businessman are more important than independent student activities. Let Cavage sue; if justice prevails, he should lose. Right now he’s just threatening to see if the University will give in without a fight. I wonder if he is really prepared to waste his money on a full-blown law suit. Regardless of Cavage’s tactics, the University ought to stand by the Coop. It is scary to witness the power of one businessman - does he have the ability to control the activities of the entire University community? Keep the Coop open!

Goetz Monday, 3 November 1975 . The Spectrum . Page nine �While they're at it Shout out together Land story To the Editor: To the Editor. To the Editor. We would like to express full agreement with Carl C. Cavage, President of Cavages, in his objective of the “continued use of resources of the State of New York to conduct a ruinous competition with private enterprise,” as quoted in Friday’s The Spectrum. This calls to mind several other flagrant misuses of University facilities. We feel that the Underground Grub and Ellicottessen should be closed since they compete unfairly with local supermarkets. Food Service competes with nearby restaurants. The bars across the street lose customers to the Tiffin Room and Rat. Likewise, the theaters offer current movies at ruinous prices. The Craft Center supplies students with economical art supplies. The bowling alley, ping pong and pool room take business away from local facilities. On a larger scale, inter-campus busing interferes with city transportation. It is also obvious that on-campus housing deprives neighborhood landlords of an income. On the other hand, we applaud the University Bookstore for encouraging the patronage of local bookstores, with their discouraging prices. Now that this issue of the Record Co-op has been brought to light, perhaps the SUNY system itself should be investigated because it competes unfairly with the private colleges by offering lower tuition and more facilities. We, the undersigned, would like to be the first to support this cause. Michael Cray’s story on the Amherst land was I’ve never been more disgusted with an action incorrect on several points.

This letter is written in reply to a letter which appeared in the Wednesday, October 29 issue of The Spectrum. The forementioned manuscript had to do with a recent concert given by the Jerry Garcia Band at the Century Theater. Mr. Jablon (author of the letter) seemed to be terribly upset at the fact that Jerry wouldn’t come down till the audience was screaming loud enough. All this screaming was done for one reason and one reason only. It was done to satisfy Jerry’s stoned head. I was glad to contribute to the screaming because I knew Garcia would come out and satisfy my head not to mention everyone else’s stoned minds. He has been doing just that for ten years now. Any asshole who would form a vision of Adolf Hitler giving a speech while Jerry Garcia is on stage doesn’t deserve the right to be present at a Garcia concert or anyone else’s concert for that matter.

Once upon a time a little-known film critic named Andrew Sarris, writing for a little-known film magazine called Film Culture, published an article entitled Notes on the Auteur Theory in 1962. It extolled the virtues of the politque des auteurs which, in its simplest form, claimed that movies, particularly Hollywood movies, could be seen in terms of the personal style and vision of the director. This thesis (originally developed by Messieurs Truffaut, Renais, Godard Co. in the French film journal Cahiers du Cinema ) incurred the rath of a certain high-brow lady critic from San Francisco by the name of & Pauline Kael. Well, the rest is history. Sarris, notoriously celebrated as a result of Kael’s stinging rebuttal, is now chief film critic for The Village Voice, and the Auteur Theory is now an accepted (if not important) theory of the cinema. Even Kael has gotten into the habit of looking at films in terms of directorial style. But now that we think the controversy over Auteurism has been accepted once and for all, Richard C-orliss (a former student of Sarris, no less) comes along and kicks it around with his study entitled Talking Pictures. | AL/YAH DAY enough to stand beside other works of similar stature, including Sarris’ own reference work, The American Cinema: Directors and Directions, 1929-1968 (Dutton Paperback, $2.95). But Talking Pictures is more than mere reference for the film freak and/or scholar. Throughout his book, and most importantly in his introduction (appropriately entitled Notes on a Screenwriter’s Theory, 1973) Corliss aims at returning the screenwriter to his previously neglected place in American film history, and by recognizing his important role in the making of films. In neglecting the screenwriter, Corliss argues, the auteurists exalted the director as the sole creative force in the making of a motion picture. The auteurists, Corliss writes, instead of demolishing the traditional view “that the solitary, creative artist produced Art, while the interpretive, produced craftsman corporate, Entertainment,” actually reinforced it “What could have begun a systematic expansion of by calling attention to the American film history anonymous screenwriters, cinematographers, art directors, and, yes, even actors bogged down an endless coronation - — screenwriter. Corliss even audaciously adds that “when the script is the film’s distinctive the basis of a film’s success . qualities can be traced to the screenwriter.” If auteurists, Corliss argues, looked half as closely at the films of those screenwriters as they do with lesser directors, odds are they would find themselves “staring at some some dominant theme or style or plot or mood strong personal trait of film authorship.” But Corliss calls for not a battle-to-the-death between the advocates of the politique des auteurs and the politique des collaborateurs, but an end to it. He advocates a dialectical approach to the problem, a merging of thesis (auteurism) with antithesis (the screenwriter’s theory) to produce a synthesis that .. - recognizes the virtues, weaknesses and, most importantly, corroborative roles of both director and screenwriter without neglecting or ignoring either. And it is through this collaborative scheme that “the films that receive the highest praise in this book are those in creative association with whose writers and directors worked together toward a the actors and technicians vision.” Bill Vaccaro collaborative — - � � � � Bill Vaccaro is presently a graduate student in the Master of Arts in Humanities program, with a concentration in Media Study. 1 I ■ I I At first glance, Talking Pictures seems to be simply an excellent cinematic reference work on 100 films written by 38 prominent Hollywood screenwriters. Well, in one sense, it primarily is, and is important and interesting If this were not bad enough, he writes, an even greater heresy exists in the fact that auteur criticism is not so much concerned with visual style as with theme analysis.

It is not clear, for instance, how SA could be found guilty of failing to apply for a renewal of the Record Coop, when the Coop was never terminated in the first place. Legality Despite Doty’s charge that the Coop has failed to comply with Ketter’s 1971 regulations, both he and Gruber agree that the more compelling reason for shutting down the Coop is the legal one. Asked why the Coop was considered legal in 1971 and illegal in 1975, Doty responded that “the Coop’s legality from the outset was marginal, at best." He said that when it was first approved, “I thought it was a good thing for students to have experience with.” In addition to the educational benefits, Doty said that in 1971, the University assumed that the record Coop’s business would “stay small.” Currently, however, the Coop is selling an estimated $200,000 per year worth of records, according to Gruber. Gruber termed the closing of the Coop “regrettable,” adding that “no one really wanted it to happen.” He said he sees the merits of the Coop, but “success doomed its continuance." Doty also expressed regret in his memo over the fate of the Record Coop. “Cavages and Mr. Cavage have tried quite hard to avoid a formal complaint and I have tried quite hard to keep the formal complaint from arriving. It has, however, arrived and Mr. Cavage's position is both clear and valid,” he said. Cavage was phoned at his office numerous times last week, but he has neither answered nor returned The Spectrum's calls. f\ -WINK } ( 1TMINK niX L Finally soinO F' I JTO ANVdEF, ) t .

Student Association (SA) President Michele Smith first received the unexpected news via a memorandum dated October 24, 1975 from Edward Doty, Vice President for Finance and Management. Doty said in the memo that he was forced to shut down the Coop upon receipt of a regarding the formal protest Record Coop from Carl C. Cavage, President of Cavages. Doty said Cavage, who owns a chain of record stores in Buffalo, ‘‘Success Too early too tell Meanwhile, spokespersons for the Record Coop say the store will continue to do business as usual, keeping a low profile until “continued use of resources of the State of New York to conduct a ruinous competition with private enterprise” which he views as “contrary to the Charter of the University and a misuse of public funds.” Cavage also claimed “the entire operation of the Coop is of the auspices under Transcontinent Records” and it is “stocked with records not unlike a regular retail outlet and its advertising overseen in the same Doty. Marginal legality Doty went on to say that “the legality of the Record Coop has been marginal at best and its existence as a tax-subsidized paying tax to competitor businesses engaged in providing services which are not essential to the State University (albeit in varying degrees desirable) has on its being small and of quite limited competition.” been contigent relatively “Cavages and Mr Cavage have tried quite hard to avoid a formal complaint and 1 have tried quite hard to keep the formal complaint from arriving,” Doty wrote. “It has however arrived and Mr. Cavage’s position is both clear and valid,” he added. Doty sent a copy of the memorandum to James Gruber, Hall, Director of Norton the room that requesting currently occupied by the Record Coop in the basement of the student union building be made available for reassignment no later than November 7. Cavage’s of The nature clear, yet is not complaint although it is believed that he threatened a law suit against the University However, Doty was in Albany all this week and could not be reached for comment. He is expected to return today. Cavage, who was called three times at his office Wednesday, was also unavailable for comment. Both President Robert Ketter and Executive Vice President Albert Somit declined to discuss the matter because, as Somit said, it is “largely within Mr. Doty s province. Gruber termed that closing of the Record Coop “regrettable,” adding that “no one really wanted “secs it to happen.” He said he the merits ot the Record Coop feels it but in all clear conscience, has gotten out of hand and has become detrimental to concerns off campus.” its continuance,” Gruber said. including one in the University Plaza across from the Main Street the to objected campus, manner,” according to doomed Doty returns to Buffalo and meets with SA representatives and their lawyer, Richard Lippes. President SA Smith’s only remark concerning the possibility of averting suspension of Coop activities was that “the situation is being studies with our lawyer and we are working compromise.” “We are still on a trying to get all the background information,” she said. Permission to operate a Record Coop on this campus was granted by Ketter on September 13, 1971 after he decided that the request by SA complied with a SUNY Board of Trustees resolution, dated May 12, 1966, governing the use of state facilities. “Since the proposed coop is not a private enterprise, since it would operate in space generally and already assigned to student since the proceeds Student benefit, the Association, and since 1 assume the end result could be deemed to be cultural, 1 approve the request activities, would following the with conditions ...” Ketter wrote in a letter to SA. The three conditions were that records of gross receipts and net income be presented to Gruber on the a monthly basis; that expenditure of net proceeds be subject to the same regulations as mandatory student fees; and that renewal of the application be reviewed after approval expires on June 1, 1972. his October 24th In memorandum, Doty said neither condition 1 nor condition 3 was met, and he therefore doesn’t know whether condition 2 was met. The growth of a table According to Ann Orlando, former Coop presently volunteer works a who for (the Records Transcontinent Coop’s distributor), the original University Record Coop consisted of a small table in Norton Hall which did most of its business on a special order basis. She said the Coop began to 1972 and it was grow in eventually assigned a room in the basement of Norton Hall. Last year, the Coop moved from the basement to the first floor, into the old coat check room (presently occupied by the Bookstore Check Cashing Service and Post Office). When that happened, however, the University received a number of informal complaints from Cavage that the Coop was competing unfairly with the University Plaza store, she said. Doty then stepped in and directed the Coop to move back down to the basement. For a while, the Coop was not allowed to advertise in the campus papers, and when the privilege was reinstated, prices were not to be mentioned, Orlando explained. that stressed She Transcontinent is only the Coop s distributor and it not running the Coop, as Cavage seems to think. ‘The merchandise in the store is owned by the Coop,” she said, and “it is run strictly by students.” She added that records are only sold to students with University l.D. cards. Additionally, the record not manufacturers, Transcontinent, give the Coop a two percent rebate on advertising, she said. Transcontinent has accounts with record coops on nine or ten campuses within New York State, Orlando said. In addition, many of these coops are in state schools. She fears that if the Record Coop is closed here, it will set a precedent for closing other coops at SUNY schools. However, spokespersons for several record coops within SUNY say they have received no pressure from either private dealers or their administrations to shut down. Joanne Rosenthal, Assistant Manager of the Record Coop at Buffalo State College, siad that since the store opened last year, no complaints about its existence have been received from outsiders. the Buff State She said administration approved the Coop on the condition that it be a “non-profit organization funded Student [United USG by Government).” Records for the Coop, she noted, are ordered through Transcontinent. The record shop at the State University at Stony Brook has a contract with the University’s Student Association Faculty (FSA) to be able to sell records on campus, according to Zaheer Baber, President of SCOOP, Inc., which runs all the student businesses there. Barber pointed out, though, that the store is not FSA, to control by subject although the organization can see the books, and it is run entirely by students. The Stony Brook record store is also serviced by Transcontinent. �Grievance procedure Lengthy remedy available by Joe Chatterton Spectrum Staff Writer Until the Grievance Procedure was established, □oilman and Stein said, the student could do little more than complain to a faculty member or Department chairman. “Of the many potential grievances, most are resolved informally,” Dollman said. If the problem cannot be resolved in this manner, the student must then appeal to the Faculty or School Undergraduate Grievance Pool. A four member hearing committee, composed of two undergraduates and two faculty members from a department which is not involved in the complaint, will then be established. The committee will render a decision based on the facts presented by the parties involved. When all else fails, students who feel that they’ve been given a raw deal by the University may follow a formal Grievance Procedure, and then hope for the best. The Grievance Procedure was established by the University last year as an official means by which students may seek to remedy unfair academic violation, includes a This treatment. misinterpretation, or unequitable application of any University, Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE), Faculty or Departmental regulation. Additionally, students who claim to have been Tell it to the dean treated contrary to established University policies Procedure.

Circulation average: 15,000 Page two . The Spectrum . Friday, 31 October 1975 by Pat Quinlivan City Editor Thousands of students may find themselves without essential mter-campus bus services if a labor management dispute in the Bluebird Bus Company cannot be settled by midnight tonight. It was not clear Wednesday if any progress had been made in negotiations between Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1203 and Bluebird Coach Lines, Inc. Roger Fneday, administrative assistant for Campus Services, said “everything is contingent on what the Bluebird drivers do.” Frieday said the University was making plans to provide alternatives if the drivers go-on strike. He indicated the initial phase of any strike would affect only weekend services, giving the University two days to arrange a substitute service. Several drivers told The Spectrum they were determined to strike if the contract is not renewed by the deadline. Despite rumors that the University will be forced to shut down Monday, administration officials gave no indication that such action was being considered. The inter-campus buses carry an average 12,000 students per day on more than 20 buses. Louis Magnano, president and • owner of Bluebird Coach Lines, said last week that he didn’t anticipate any big problem with the negotiations. “We always solve these things,” he said, noting that his company has been working with the union for 15 or 20 years with no serious difficulties. One problem that the company does lace is that most of the competition is non-union, he said. “We have to be competitive," Magnano emphasized. “The University doesn’t care whether we re union or non-union, they have to lake the best deal they can get.” Naturally, the drivers want more money to keep up with the rising cost of living, something Magnano says he realizes. A compromise satisfactory to both parties must be reached. As part of this process, Magnano observed, I he drivers “ask for more than they’re going we offer less than we'll end up giving Magnano remarked that the bus drivers win work the University routes do “a fine job �Elections pose troubl for College Council by Mike McGuire Contributing Editor Undergraduate Steven Schwartz was elected non-voting student member of the University’s College Council last month and has since attended meetings of that body. However, a quick survey of other State University (SUNY) units reveals that other schools have had more trouble in electing the one student member required by law. Under a bill shepherded through the state legislature by the Student Association of the State University (SASU), and signed by Governor Carey, each SUNY school elects one student to serve as a non-voting member of each local College Council. While the student cannot vote, he can bring matters up for a vote and he can attend closed-door meetings of the Council. College councils are local bodies at each SUNY unit which advise their presidents on all matters of importance to that college or university. Awaiting approval At Binghamton, although the undergraduate student government has approved proposed election rules, the graduate student government still must okay them before an election can be held. The Albany State student body has elected Student Association President Andy Bauman to double as its College Council representative, but the election is being challenged through the student judiciary. Bauman told The Spectrum, however, that he attended his first meeting as a council member (he attended past meetings as an observer). According to Bauman, he is treated with respect by the members, and is turned to for the student point of view. Bauman found the entire College Council a little short on real influence. “The Council doesn’t really make very many decisions. They’re just a smiling group of local businessmen.” At Plattsburgh, Student Association President Automatic member James Campbell was elected to the College Council seat after running unopposed. Passed on the same ballot as the Council seat was a provision making the SA President an automatic member of the College. This provision, however, does not take effect until next year. Campbell had not yet attended a monthly meeting of the Council, but sat in on several as an observer. Bob Kirkpatrick, President of SASU, automatically became a member of the SUNY Board of Trustees under the law. Like the student members of College Councils, he cannot vote but can attend closed-door meetings of the Board. Kirkpatrick told The Spectrum that he noticed a “tremendous” difference in the way he was received at meetings as a member and as an observer. As a member, he said, he can get to know the other members better as individuals, and thus can be more effective in dealing with them on issues. While he felt he was being taken seriously, Kirkpatrick said he has yet to be present at any very emotional discussions. When, during discussions of the current budget crunch, he suggested holding the line on dorm room rents to afford some relief to families also hit by the poor economy, the idea was received coldly. Kirkpatrick, who along with the late Ray Glass, worked for passage of the law that put students on the College Councils and the Board of Trustees, said the inclusion of students in these groups is an important step. He cautioned students who find themselves on such bodies to be careful, though, and when dealing with Council or Board members whose interests may conflict, to remember it is the students they must represent. FREE OIL CHANGE with tune-up & winterize MANTIONE'S Midtown Garage 882-8416 Students victims of thefts An estimated 74,100 volumes are lost within the University library system yearly, according to April 1975 report by John Vasi, Assistant to the Director of University Libraries. Stolen books account for most of the loss. Yorem Szekely, Undergraduate Library (UGL), head librarian, said the thefts occur when people remove materials from the libraries without checking them out. Szekely said one common type of theft is the "1 am not stealing, just borrowing ‘attitude’,” where students and faculty surreptitiously remove a book intending to return it but usually forgetting. Szekely said another kind is executed by people trying to “hurt us.” He emphasized that by stealing books, students are not “beating the establishment,” but are hurting fellow students who need a particular book and cannot find it. Collections hit Several collections in the UGL have been hit severely, including Black Studies, Modern American Authors, Psychology, and, worst of all. Mathematics. Between June 1974 and June 1975, 42 Math texts, or about 15 percent of the collection, have been lost or stolen. These thefts have made it necessary to divert funds for new books to replace stolen books in the UGL. The UGL’s budget was slashed by $16,000 this year. Out of this, only $2000 is set aside to replace stolen books. According to the most recent inventory, the Science and Engineering Library was missing 5000 volumes, about 3.5 percent of its total stock. The estimated replacement cost for these volumes is about $17 each. Margaret Schenk, Science and Engineering Librarian, said that not only are many volumes stolen, but many others have key pages torn #S.A. & THR€€ FOR ISR^L Wc offer you three incredible experiences The first: Kibbutz Ulpan Programs for high school grads to age 30.

Szekely feels cooperation from most students in revealing the contents of their bags has been helpful. Electronics detection systems like those used in the Law and Health Sciences Libraries may be installed by next semester in the UGL. The cost of these systems though great is substantially lower than paying checkers at the door and are more effective, according to Vasi. For this reason, all the new libraries at the Amherst Campus will be equipped with electronics devices. Many higher priced and popular reference books have been taken off the shelves and placed on reserve. In many cases, an instructor will put a list of up to 150 volumes on reserve to ensure their availability. This has led to a vast increase in the reserve workload, Vasi said. In the UGL, several dictionaries even had to be chained down. briefcase digs up: — , Scream on up out of your grave to the FILLMORE ROOM 8:30 — 2:00 in the morning. when all the freaks come out Wear a goulish costume — get in FREE!! & No costume costs ya $1.25 BEER 10c and for added spirits # SHERUT LA’AM 'wfr Costly replacement Vasi’s survey reports that the Health Science Library lost 6,515 volumes (5.1 percent of stock) at an average replacement cost of $16 a volume.

Page three �Ross says that death is only a separation of life from body by Nancy EUett Spectrum Staff Writer of the sudden effects The a child upon parents and siblings was the subject of an afternoon lecture by Elizabeth death of Kubler-Ross at the Student Center Friday. day’s Canisius program issue of illness and death among children, including a panel discussion and area clergy, dialogue between medical experts, and a cancer A full devoted was to the general society representative, Ross, a renowned psychiatrist, is the author of On Death and Dying and Questions on Death and Dying the unfortunate situation that exists after a patient has died, Ross explained that relatives are informed of the death in the waiting room, sometimes administered sedatives, and there ends the hospital’s responsibility to the family. In some cases, Ross found, even after several years, some parents refused to believe their child was really gone. Years later, these disbelieving parents still turned down the child’s blanket in preparation for the to Pointing child’s return. Interviews Ross her and colleagues many interviewed people experiencing total denial. Her findings indicated that those who had been informed of the death by a non-physician sometimes believed that no physician had been involved to authenticate the fatality. Relatives do not accept this information as valid even when being informed by a nurse. Another suggestion to the which professionals, medical enable parents to cope with and accept their loss, involves the actual handling of the corpse. Even in cases of mutilation due to an accident, the body should be made to look as normal as possible for the bereaved parent. This, Ross added, is also true of a mother who gives birth to an unborn child. “She must see, hold, and love the child, if only for a little while” before she will be able to give it up, Ross urged. advised that funeral Ross directors be more responsive to the family’s psychological needs. Parents should be allowed to carry the child to the parlor, comb its hair and prepare the body for burial, she said God’s position in the matter. “What’s the matter with you? God can take it!” Ross quipped, bringing cheers and laughter from the audience. “I always find it presumptuous to make excuses for God,” she added. Patients should be allowed to say what including angry they feel, responses of “why me?” or “why my child?” Ross cited empirical evidence and numerous case histories to her theories. These support included passages of poetry from a mother who was about to lose a son to lukemia. These lines, which had been written as her son progressed, illness Jeffrey’s elucidated certain of Ross’ major points. “Learning to deal with death,” she explained, “requires a new language of symbolism.” • Role of clergy also Ross addressed the of the clergy. A terrible blow can be softened by importance the compassion and optimism When ya gotta go . The poor psychological state of Jeffrey’s mother seemed to have strong effects on Jeffrey. She was an aetheist and imagined nothing but a black void after death. Jeffrey’s feelings reflected this in .. of death as a war offered by members of the clergy. his portrayal dying people. his mother replaced her concept with one of death as a state of tranquil peace. Twenty four hours later, reported Ross, Jeffrey’s symbolic representation of death was transformed into a bird of peace. Ross’ warm and penetrating with the audience dialogue illustrated her talent as a psychiatrist. She described one 1 who fell under case of a you - Their greatest assistance typically comes when the patient, who is aware of his imminent death, and through denial passes depression, two stages which Ross postulates are common to all However, when the sentiment often anger, open becomes directed at God or whomever they hold ultimately responsible, the take the clergy frequently defensive and attempt to bolster tank or bomb. Through care after she had been deserted by medical specialists who diagnosed her illness as terminal. The girl was not so much upset by her fatal disease, as by the knowledge that she could never return to school. Her greatest wish was to become a teacher. Her anger at God for this deprivation was reprimanded by the local priest who told her that in order to go to heaven” she must “love God more than anyone else in the world.” Ross quickly resolved the child’s psychological crisis. her therapy ‘ . ya gotta go “To whom does the teacher toughest very her give assignments?” asked Ross of the girl. “To her favorite and best students,” was the logical answer. “Well then,” said Ross, “God too the toughest given you has assignment of all.” The child’s anxiety was diminished by the inference that she was therefore among God’s most beloved. This . . example of Ross’ ability to gently resolve such a difficulty served to illustrate the necessity to “learn the child’s own language,” and handle such difficulties in a meaningful context. Ross expressed dissatisfaction with the misuse of the five stages she put forth as necessary before a complete achieves patient acceptance of death. Most anger, for example, is justified anger, and may not represent the successful completion of that step toward acceptance. Reactive anger caused by poor hospital food or a gruff doctor must be differentiated from the personal anger which precedes final acceptance and coping with the crisis, she said. The most overpowering fear of the dying child, she explained, is that of being alone. “Ring the bells loud when 1 go,” Jeffrey instructed his mother after the death of his hospital roommate Beth Ann. “Sound the ambulance siren long and loud so Beth Ann will know I’m coming.” Speculation Ross’ words echoes in the auditorium when her lecture they Doubtless ended. reverberated in the minds of her , audience. Life after death is a matter of great speculation, and at a time empiricism when scientific pervades, the suggestion that life goes on after death will no doubt come under fire. Nevertheless, after several years of investigating cases from Australia to California with patients from diverse ages and cultural backgrounds, Ross confidently states, “We not only there is life after death, but we are absolutely sure of it.” Interviews with patients who have returned to life after three to 12.5 hour encounters with medically verified “death” testify to this statement. In all studied cases, the findings were the same. Says Ross, “They see themselves floating above their own physical body, observe the resuscitation team,” and in spite of their own unconsciousness, can give very accurate detail of what transpired while their bodies showed no vital signs of life upon revival. The experience is reported to “beautiful, peaceful and be creating a sense of wholeness.” Paraplegics have functional legs and injured people are healed believe that Anxiety and fear are absent. There is usually a deceased friend or relative reportedly awaiting their arrival. These findings were held back temporarily, reported Ross, “for fear of a wave of suicides.” Now she is prepared to publicly state that “death is only a separation of life from the body.” New services for veterans offered UB Office of Veteran (VA) is offering new services for the 3000 veterans enrolled here.

"This is the first time the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) and Student Association (SA) have gotten together in a time of crisis,” said IRC President David Brownstein at Wednesday’s Student Senate meeting in the Fillmore Room. The crisis to which he was referring was the imminent default of New York City, which, it is feared, will lead to drastic cuts for the State University of New York (SUNY), The meeting became the kickoff for an SA letter writing campaign to Senators and Congressmen in the hopes of mustering political support to save SUNY. Letter writing tables and booths will be set up in Norton, Diefendorf and at both the Amherst and Ridge Lea Campuses as part of a statewide action leading up to a mass one day lobby in Washington, D.C., on November 19. SA President Michele Smith said that should New York State default, “SUNY goes first. Our first priority should be to save our own educational system.” She also said any SUNY cutbacks would affect Western New York because SUNY is the largest employer in the area, and any drastic budget cut will lead to massive Save SUNY layoffs and firings. Smith said she met with President Robert Ketter and called on him to “form a University-wide Steering Committee” comprised of faculty, staff, administrators and students. “We’re not running out to save New York City Smith noted. “We’re fighting to save SUNY.” Brownstein told the Senate that as soon as the seventy of the financial situation became known, he called an emergency meeting of the IRC Executive Committee. Within thirty minutes “calls were being made, signs printed, and flyers distributed” to inform students of a rally in Porter Cafeteria in the Elhcott Complex Wednesday evening, he said. Colleges Dean Irving Spitzberg was scheduled to speak becuase, “If cuts have to be made, the Colleges will be one of the first things to go,” according to Brownstein. He said car pools to a mass meeting in Geneseo Thursday would be organized at the Porter rally Brownstein feels a good showing in Geneseo will impress SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer and possibly cause greater action. �Male enrollment in WSC would hinder discussions new to the questions considered . . . this integration (of personal experience and oppression) is impeded in coed classes, and thus the intended intellectual development is hindered.” Andrea agreed. “Having men in the class,” she continued, “1 think, would hinder the discussion because they don’t have the personal experience to go on.

Women in These courses are: 213 and 214; Society, Contemporary Women in Photography; Studio Art; and Women’s Automotives. In a special interview with The either Spectrum several women who taken these courses or taught them stated their reasons for supporting the classes and the advantages they feel are gained from them.

Joyce, another student in Women in Contemporary Society, said if men were present in the class, “You’d never get to the material, or the women would be silenced.” Domination Cheryl cited her history class, which has only one male student and is taught by a man. “We were discussing sexism in education, and these two men totally dominated the conversation! Even though the rest of the class were women, and we were discussing sexism,” she said. Another lesson learned by the experience of having men in classes like Women in Contemporary Society, according to Andrea, is that men get defensive and begin to take women s descriptions of their oppression personally.

We want these people, both the Women’s Studies College and the administration, to stop confronting each other in an adversary manner and start talking things out like human beings.” WSC representatives charged that the University administration is using Title IX against women, rather than for them, as it was intended. Grace Blumberg, an Assistant Professor of Law who has been working closely with WSC on the Title IX issue, noted that although “acceptance of the College’s assertion that these courses do indeed contain a does not strong ‘affirmative action’ component solve the legal issues, legislative history shows that it was passed to eliminate educational discrimination ” In a memo outlining her legal opinion regarding the exclusion of male students from the five WSC courses in question, she cited several legal cases which led her to conclude that “remedial or affirmative programs are an exception to the otherwise broad ban against discrimination on the basis of sex” stipulated in Title IX Noting the case of Kahn r Shevm, she said, “in the area of sex discrimination, the Court will require no more than a ‘minimal rationality’ showing in efforts aimed at remedying past order to sustain inequities.” No legal liabilities WSC representatives met with members of the Tuesday in a final attempt to reach an agreement regarding the issue of courses restricted to women.

Both administrators remained immutable on the deadline, WSC representatives said. The only “substantive” issue brought up at the meeting, they said, was the removal of the word “unlawful” from the anti-discrimination clause in the College’s charter. The administration demanded that this word be deleted, but told WSC representatives that in doing so they would be committing themselves to integrating their classes as well.

Statistics have estimated that one out of every ten girls in the US. becomes an unwed mother before the age of eighteen. Pregnancy is the main cause of dropping out among American secondary schoolgirls. School systems are often so with their attitudes towards pregnancy that they tend to overlook the individual. Their reactions to pregnancy are at best neglectful, but often hostile and preoccupied punitive. the They fail to consider detriments their actions may have on the young mother as well as the broader ramifications they may have on the newborn child. Most states leave treatment and education of pregnant girls up to the local school system and to individual schools. Some states have liberal education laws and codes, but many bar the pregnant school girl, brand her as a detriment to the welfare of the other students, and label her as a behavior problem. Many go as far as classifying her as mentally or physically handicapped. birth. Some given earnestly discourage schools unwed mothers from returning to school, imposing unreasonable recovery periods between time of her delivery and time of her return. Others go as far as prohibiting the father of the child from attending the school. A further illustration of the obstacles a young mother must hurdle in today’s society can be cited in the available counseling services. The pregnant teenager often avoids school guidance counselors and school nurses for fear of being forced to leave. Other available counseling services are geared more towards those girls who want to give up their babies for adoption.

To make matters worse, most states do not have free or low cost day care facilities for girls who are forced to go to work. Due to parental pressures and teenage consent requirements, mothers have little or no choice in what happens to them or their mother’s baby. young The feelings, or for that matter the young father’s, are rarely taken into consideration.

Friday, 31 October 1975 �Instead of nuclear power Solar energy the most viable option to the energy crunch by Rob Cohen Spectrum Staff Writer The energy crunch, coupled with the recent controversy surrounding the safety of nuclear power plants, has kindled serious consideration of unconventional energy sources. Of these, solar energy, in the opinion of many qualified observers, is the most viable option. Although the technology for efficiently harnessing energy from the sun has been at hand for a its years, of number with cost-competitiveness conventional modes of power production must be proven before it can be implemented on a large-scale. Recent years have witnessed a steady erosion of these economic barriers, as a result of rapid improvements in solar technology on one hand, and skyrocketing fossil fuel prices on the other. If all the sunlight reaching the earth were to be converted to electricity, it would be worth approximately $560 billion. Only a few hundreths of one percent of this total is actually utilized, mainly in the production of food.

Obviously a solar heating unit cannot be relied upon as a continuous heat source as of in itself. It must be augmented by a conventional back-up system which must operate at night and during extended periods of cloudiness. Despite these inherent drawbacks, solar heating is a low-cost, practical mode for conventional complementing heating units in private houses and small buildings. Sunlight yields energy both directly and indirectly. The direct mode consists of collecting sunlight on solar panels and converting it into electricity via photovoltaic silicon cells. “Direct conversion” has proved successful in providing the energy needs of orbital spacecraft. Its terrestial further awaits application improvements in efficiency and substantial cost reductions. Recently a highly ambitious proposal has been advanced, which envisions the placement in synchronous orbit of a series of satellites, carrying huge solar panels having areas of up to 32 square kilometers. These satelites would collect solar energy and transmit it back, in the form of micro-waves to receiving stations on earth. It is estimated that each satelite could produce 15,000 megawatts of power, enough to meet the anticipated energy requirements of New York City in the year 2000. **�������������* ���������� * * • • course. • dancing, • • Star Standard deviat variance Permutations and random numbers % and % change Fixed or floating decimal Three separate addressable memories 20 conversions and their inverses Linear regression, mean, & 3^" . * * * Hall. yL, 'T * • are scheduled Israeli folk throughout the week.

Women s Studies College does not discriminate on the grounds of race, color, creed, sex or national origins. We expect the charter will be accepted by Dr. Fisk and Dr. Somit at the Oct. 28th meeting, wherein it was stated that the removal of the word unlawful would bring the charter into compliance with University policy. We restate our position that WSC does not discriminate; that the college, is itself, a program with an affirmative action thrust and that the selective-use of all women’s classes is an integral of that program.

Programs and services that students and faculty have fought long and hard to establish and that the administration approved in the first place have no refuge from the swing of the axe. These are certainly not the champions of progressive education, these men who, as one person wrote in a recent Guest Opinion, see education as an "imaginary black box" through which people are processed, not affected If students here are affected by anything at all, they should be outraged at the arrogance with which their I address my letter to the proposed Commission to Investigate Security (Bill S-001). 1 am pleased that the Student Senate has recognized the need to establish a Student Association unit designed to protect the rights of students. It is, however, the design of the Commission which makes me question the credibility of any pursuant investigation. Between October 17, when it was announced, and October 24. when SA claimed to be seeking representatives, a member of Campus Security has been added to the Commission. From its inception, it has included a member of the office of Student Affairs. Isn’t this like asking Patrick Gray and the CIA to help investigate the FBl?As paid employees of their respected units, they must do anything to protect the interests of those units. With all due respect to the position of both Security and Student Affairs, I do not see it feasible that they should have a place on the Commission. They will, in fact, play an important role in a follow up committee to “define some solutions” but not until the proposed Commission has thoroughly investiagted, defined and presented to the Student Body the problem with past Campus Security modes of operation. Another flaw in the design is that after two visits to SA to volunteer my services and after one week’s time, neither myself nor any other student who has been investigated, arrested and/or processed by Campus Security in the past have received an invitation to participate in the Commission. Don’t we have a more appropriate role on such a than Campus Security?Don’t we carry a deeper commitment to a Commission which may prevent future University students from being subjected to some of the outrageous tactics Campus Security has used in the past? It is my conviction that if the Commission proceeds as proposed it will merely be another facade created by the administration to pacify student dissatisfaction. Commission Joseph Becker administrators are treating them. They spout rhetoric about academic freedom, but in one easy blow, they will wipe out the whole Women's Studies College today if they don't feel Stating our equality their orders have been satisfied.

Shallat's basic idea is sound enough; what could be safer than a parody of Jungle-Jim type serials and their cereal-box heroesTCombine that with a wide swipe at the Gothic Mystery, complete with secret passages, omniscient butlers and an aristocratic homicide or two, and you have a fairly solid base to develop upon. Develop, yes; dump on, no. The play has far, far too many ideas that go nowhere, irrelevant lines, bad jokes and unintelligible songs that give the impression of being better off that way. Every word that Shallat ever wrote for the play which runs for just under three hours seems to be present; a great deal of cutting would be in order. (Director Chambers has said that there were "drastic changes" since the October 23 performance that I saw; hopefully, a missing half hour or so was among them.) - — — Shredded wring If a good idea turns bad through overuse, at least it's of value before diminishing return sets in. Although most of Shallat's ideas are eventually wrung lifeless, they do work well for a while; he has a jaundiced enough eye, and a crazy enough perspective to come up with some gleeful flashes of mania. More specifically valuable is his clear knowledge, even in this foggy setting, of the cliches he's shredding. Plot?You fool. Don't ask about plot. Here's all you need, the heir of the Teaser family of 20's England was kept an infant for 21 years by a voodoo curse.

The Ethnic Stereotype Department is capably held down by Ron Sandberg's Scotsman, and one Dr. LeBlanc (Steven Saporta), something of a French Chico Marx. The best single moment is probably Gumbo's attempt to resurrect three warriors to snuff the Teasers; what he crotchety gets instead is a song-and-dance team named Bad, Worse and Rotten, (As the last-named, Dennis Hoerter is especially fine, borrowing jointly from Dennis Day's open-faced wholesomeness and Bert Lahr's Cowardly Lion.) Sadly, the only performance that really doesn't work is that of Kathy Baldwin, as Ronnie Bwana herself. In trying to capture the let's-go-gang virtues of the comic book hero stereotype, she gives the kind of cheerful, energetic, but amateurish performance one usually finds in high school musicals. Vanessa James continues to amaze with her usage of the Courtyard Theater space. Here she divided the theater into two smaller, separate "mini-theatres," one for each act. The Act One stage was a surprisingly well-detailed recreation of an archetypal British drawing room. Her real triumph, though, was her Act Two jungle, more Tropicana than Tropics, with the Fountain of Youth and Age, illuminated by neon signs, dominating the dayglo landscape.

Prodigal Sun �RetumtoForeverupstageMahavishnu atCentury Upon entering the Century Theater last Saturday night, I was surprised to see that Return to Forever got top billing over the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Upon leaving it I was not surprised any longer. The questionably entitled field of jazz-rock got a big shot in the arm almost four years ago (at least in Northeast college towns) when John McLaughlin began touring with the original Mahavishnu Orchestra (Cobham, Hammer, Laird, Goodman), a conglomeration which visited Buffalo four or five times. Long-time fans can attest to the originality, determination and technical brilliance of McLaughlin's early band and compositions. The good die young As success would have it, the Orchestra has disbanded and regrouped twice since then, and many other artists have since recognized the influence of (some would say copied) the Mahavishnu. Loud, fast riffs with tinges of Eastern, classical and jazz origins began to appear in the recordings and performances of such diverse talents as Larry Coryell, King Crimson, Jeff Beck and Todd Rundgren's Utopia. Distorted guitars and synthesizers became commonplace in jazz groups, while electric violins, double-necked guitars and decent rhythm sections began to surface in the sea of rock groups. Consequently, there is a lot of music going around these days thqt sounds alike, which mded by thr ibl ' toward overwhelming funkiness and overblown electronics. John "Machine-gun" McLaughlin seems to have gone over the latter of these two deep concurrent trends ends. Dressed not in Krishna whites, but Hugh Hefnerish hooded sweater and flaired armed not with a massive slacks, custom-built guitar, but two more flashy Gibsons, he came on looking quite at ease. immediately into almost Crashing "Meetings of the Spirit," McLaughlin neglected to tune his guitar properly first and was hindered greatly for most of the piece. The new Orchestra is down to four pieces, and its overall texture is not even close to that of either of its previous incarnations. Jean luc Ponty is gone, but bassist Ralph Armstrong and drummer Michael Walden remain from the last, larger group. A new keyboard player (whose name I've forgotten already) showed off the usual electronic keyboard tricks, but was surpassed in ability by the rhythm section Though still technically to compositions. New strings Annoyance to show as began McLaughlin finished the next two numbers (he never really got the guitar tuned) and he seemed to have trouble concentrating. After the second or third piece, John (with the help of an equipment man) took five minutes plugging in and tuning his new monstrosity guitar synthesizer, a responsible for even more problems. Having trouble getting anything but noise out of his new instrument (and banks of footswitches), McLaughlin began to resemble a weary Napoleon Solo whose short-wave radio had broken. Despite The big time Although they were in Buffalo before. Return Forever had never headlined to as large as the Century anywhere (something which McLaughlin had done many times here). Last year in the Fillmore Room, Corea exhibited a fine mind for piano, although he tended to drift into excessive, noisy use of the synthesizer. The of the group made the show almost excellent, although the pieces and themes seemed to be repetitious. Saturday night's concert, on the other hand, was a different story. Although they rest frequent adjustments by his equipment man and smiles of encourage from his band, McLaughlin did a good job of ind superior other electric guitarists, McLaughlin sounded pretty weak this time around.

Chick Stanley Corea's Return to Forever forerunners in today's jazz-rock race, have produced a great spinoff album, with their all-star bassist Stanley Clarke joining an almost all-star cast for almost 40 great minutes. Best cut is "Song to John" (Parts I and II) on which John McLaughlin, Chick Corea and Clarke form an acoustic trio for a tribute to Coltrane.

Another for the hot disco circuit, as Grade: 60, Rating: sure Prodigal Sun performed almost identical material to last year's appearance, RTF seem to have spent the intervening time refining and building upon their stage show. Many new themes and breaks, duets and lightning-fast riff tradeoffs have been worked into the pieces, giving them a newly polished feel. Corea outdid himself this time, improvising freely yet staying away from some of the obnoxious electronics which stuck out last time. In conjunction with guitarist Al Dimeola, Chick has worked out many nice harmonic lines in which the synthesizer mimics the guitar. Dimeola, who I formerly dismissed as a McLaughlin imitator himself, has never sounded better. Avoiding the gimmicks may have paid off, for Al seemed to play rings around McLaughlin this night, something he could never have done a year ago. Lenny White, master of percussion, amazed the crowd again, particularly when trading lines with the rest of the band during "Vulcan World." "The Romantic piece, Warrior," an acoustic/electric showcased Corea's piano and Stanley Clarke's stand-up bass. There is a lot more I could say, especially about Stanley Clarke, but time is money, so I'll say once more that RTF was better than J.M. and the M.O., and leave you to the mercy of this week's ghost columnist. —John Duncan Herbie rides again with the longest list of keyboard instruments ever printed on an album cover. Hancock is a smart breadhunter and knows that if he writes five more versions of “Chameleon," the record will sell. Despite the fact that he has Eastern and religion been into synthesizers as long as everybody else on today's jazz-rock scene, Herbie seems to be unable to reach the plateau on which less-worldly many his so of contemporaries have been riding. Best cut on the album is undoubtedly "Bubbles" (side 2, song 1), a slow experiment in textures, featuring some guest soloists. Famous names on the album include Bennie Maupin (of course), Wayne Shorter, Stevie Wonder, Jim Horn, Wah Wah Watson, and "Maestro Universal Synthesizer System, Maestro Sample and Hold Unit, without whom the production of this record would not have been possible," I wonder how much money he gets for putting all that stuff down on his album cover.

Essentially, no aspect of health care delivery escapes the bright light of his scrutiny. Even if you never never-ending series of "How to" books. The object read this book, you must at least for your own the principles of this particular book is to provide the health health and welfare be familiar with the Levin describes. judge the basic he needs to facts consumer with Initially in selecting a physician. Levin says, quality of health. One wishes that Dr. Levin, a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Medical whenever possible choose a doctor who (1) holds at least one appointment to a medical school affiliated hospital, (2) is Board-certified or Board eligible in Family Practice, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, etc., (3) works with other doctors, so his performance is checked by these physicians, (4) even with all his training makes an effort to keep his knowledge current by teaching medical students and reading. From personal experience, I know that such a breed of physician does exist. Whether or not the doctor makes house calls should not be a critical concern in choosing a physician, Levin says, because there is not much at all a doctor can do to diagnose or even treat a pressing illness in the patient's home, without the necessary non portable advanced equipment found only in hospitals or clinics. Nor should the social status of the doctor, of his patients, the size of the doctor's practice ("It may be very large because he never succeeds in solving his patients' problems'"), Arthur Levin, M.D., Talk Back to Your Doctor: How to Demand (and Recognize) High Quality Health Care, Doubleday (harcover $7.95) At first glance this is another in a seemingly Texas Instruments electronic calculator to SR-51A • • • Performs logarithms, trigonometries, hyperbolics. powers, roots reciprocals, factorials, linear regression mean variance and standard deviation Features an algebraic keyboard with dual function keys that the power ol the SR-51 without increasing its size Three user accessible memories pi increase product operation: • • • Preprogrammed to Rant generator i number provide 20 often used automa User selected fixed or floating decima 3 significai ites and displays e ts arn argeas *9 999999999 answi -lalior • wer is greater Features bright 14-characle lha iplay - 10-digil mantissa wi digit exponent w 'erflow • Lightweight lully lerflow € Table AC operation • • Ful AC A nor the time he makes you wait until he sees you, sway you from exercising your informed choice. Two good points the author makes: we all should have a qualified, primary care physician who will act as our gatekeeper into the health system, and the time to start looking for such a primary care physician is when we are well and not when we are sick. (An emergency especially is not the time to hold tryouts for a good physician; and if in an emergency, Levin correctly recommends, your regular doctor is unavailable, you should go to the emergency room of a large, high-grade hospital that i.e., a trains residents and medical students hospital that is affiliated with a medical school. Indeed, Levin offers proof that the care provided by these hardworking, skilled residents, at such hospitals, is definitely better than that rendered School, had chosen a more catchy, or at least a less most solo non-specialists, and is only exceeded in by cumbersome title, because overall, this book merits quality by the care rendered by the best university Hig Health Care — ARTHUR LEVIN, M.D. an excellent rating. First, Levin’s writing style is lucid and succeeds in making you believe he is in the same room talking with you, rather than talking down at you. Second, Levin packs a wealth of useful information that can prove to be downright practical to a college-educated health consumer, as a primary resource on how and where .and specifically from whom to get quality health care. In painstaking detail, he illuminates the — from how up till now shadowy world of medicine Page twelve . The Spectrum . — specialists. Additionally, Levin considers the pitfalls of obtaining good diagnosis. Too often physicians commit errors in diagnosis and errors in the selection of diagnostic tests. Thus in order to avoid further possibility of error in diagnosis or treatment by the same or another physician later on, Levin stresses you insist that your doctor tell you his diagnosis in medical terms (e g., not "walking pneumonia" but Friday, 31 October 1975 continued on page 14 MANY MODELS AVAILABLE AT YOUR UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORE ON CAMPUS NORTON Prodigal Sun �Our Weekly Reader $15, paper $5.95) Twenty years ago William Gaddis' first novel. The Recognitions, appeared. It never even approached the best seller list but was championed by a small following with the result that three paperback editions have appeared at sporadic intervals over the last two decades the most recent was last summer in anticipation of this, Gaddis' second novel. Now it is out. JR, by any account, breaks new stylistic ground, just as its predecessor did. Essentially it is 726 pages of dialogue: a high speed race through corporate finance and the Stock Exchange with no chapter breaks. And as in his earlier novel, Gaddis is concerned with the despiritualization of modern man by business and the Puritan work ethic. Edward Bast, a fledgling composer who lives with his two senile aunts and teaches in a Long Island elementary school, is caught maelstrom of stock in the manipulations and corporate pyramiding through his acceptance of a loan from a sixth grade student, J R Vansant. J R asks Bast to help him in return by meeting with a stockbroker and performing ceremonial functions for him. J R believes that he is helping Bast by providing him with an income (as well as stock options and tax depreciation plans) so he can "do so he can finish his opera his thing," as a hippie named Alexander tells Jack Gibbs, a writer also caught up in the game of making money. To J R it is a game. And the only way to play the game is to "play to win," he is told by Mister Moncrieff while in Diamond — — Cable's executive washroom. (J R's Social Studies class has bought a share of Diamond Cable and has taken a field trip to learn about the American way.) J R's operating philosophy revolves around two concepts; 1) hedge yourself against taxes and 2) buy on credit and sell for cash. He "knows" only what he has been told in class and what he picks up from The New York Times ; so, later when he decides to invest in pork belly futures, he pleads with his social studies teacher. On Monday A Joubert, to include commodity futures in the course. (She tells him that there isn't time to get to that complicated Mrs. William Gaddis, JR, Alfred A. Knopf (cloth — topic.) By this time, though, it hardly matters what he knows. His corporation has expanded to include a public relations the department, lawyers and brokers lawyers are to make sure that everything follows the letter of the law. J R makes the — decisions and hands them down over pay telephones (from school or from the candy store), covering the mouthpiece with a handkerchief to sound older. As his corporate structure swells, one begins seeing images of Howard Hughes; none of the employees have ever seen J R; they get scrawled, nearly indecipherable him written on Big Chief tablet old and decrepit on the he sounds paper: notes from phone; etc. Yet, J R manifests the essential quality of the educational system he has been reared in. The school administrators are only interested in bettering their financial by situations through the institution - getting grants to purchase their companies' and the principal, Mr. equipment Whiteback, runs his bank from his office at school, (he even has an outside line - installed so he won’t have his business calls delayed.) By the end of the book, in the course of some four months, J R Corp. has taken on most of the school’s faculty as its own and officers unknown to J R or Bast — — has fallen into receivership for recapitalization. Trying to escape J R and his game by paying back the original loan. Bast takes out a loan using his stock in J R Corp. as collateral. When the bank sells the stock to collect on the loan, J R stock plummets. At the end, Diamond Cable, which was the object of the "class" action suit that set J R in motion, is trying to buy control of the Corp.; Bast goes off to compose music irrespective of his possible financial situation; and J R is left talking on the still playing phone with nobody listening to win. — Gaddis' choice of a sixth grader as the wheeler-dealer mastermind of a corporate empire is not frivolous. As in The Recognitions, Gaddis is extremely troubled by the deconstruction of language and the ambiguity which has been injected into it by advertising and legalese. The reduction of meaning to "language games" leaves J R, by his very naivety, in an advantageous position to perform his acrobatics. we The American way, i.e., business are a "commercial republic," wrote Alexander Hamilton in the Federalist is a game, however, which creates Papers its own rules. Language, the language of the stock market, is the manifestation of these rules; so, in playing the game, J R simply imitates what has already been done — - copying corporate structurings, copying letter forms, etcetera, etcetera. (This is the forgery motif, which formed one of the central images of The Recognitions .) For J R there is nothing beneath this surface. There is no beauty in nature; there is no beauty in music. He can neither "see" nor "hear." The educational system has programmed him to learn and repeat, not to think. Teachers who stray from the prescribed forms (Gaddis is unable to avoid punning on this by having the characters — speak of "proscribed" forms) are ejected from the system. Gaddis himself is unable stay to clear of the completely strained encyclopedic, heavy handed, narration which plagued his earlier work and which was a result of the contextual theory of meaning. It is to Gaddis' credit, I suppose, that he avoided narration as much as he did (there are two passages of extended, i.e., half to one page narration), since where it breaks out one becomes only too well aware of the author's own Unfortunately, inability to connect language to "reality But even more distracting is Gaddis' self-indulgence in attacking his own critics. Under the guise of Thomas Eigen (Tom Gaddis tells us about the of his earlier work: "Small audience! . . . do you think I would have worked on it for seven years just for, do you know what my last royalty check reception was . . .? Fifty-three dollars and fifty-two cents, the publisher dropped it cold the day it came out he must think I wrote it I get for a very small audience too letters from college kids who have it assigned in their courses, they must be passing one copy around. If he'd let me ... have the right back do you think I d be sitting here now? Later Gaddis uses the reviews of The Recognitions as blurbs for the book J R Corp. is publishing. And these barbs do nothing but force this book within the confines of the small group of appreciative readers, who find their own prejudices reinforced by Gaddis' “plight." Vet, despite this, William Gaddis has certainly gone beyond his first novel with JR. The action of the book is carried, likp everything else, by the dialogue. The discourse of the characters in JR is, for the most part, itself a radical departure from the dialogue which prevailed in the earlier novel. By dealing with persons involved with, rather than contemplating, life, Gaddis is able to utilize their speech as indicative of their actions. Whereas in The Recognitions the discourse revolved around vacuous and terms, in JR one is metaphysical confronted with a plethora of everyday speech. It is through this speech that the characters come to life. The characters are not stretched between the reality of their actions and the narrator's conception of them, as was the case for several characters in Gaddis' earlier book, and though characters from the earlier work reappear in this novel (Wyatt-Bast, Esther-Marian, Brown-Katz, Esme-Rhoda) and though, once again, several characters are manifestations of Gaddis and his problems (Bast, Eigen, Gibbs, Gall, Schramm), there is very little tendency within the book itself for them become caricatures. The continual flow of discourse forces a bodily specificity upon the characters, while the absence of narratorial intrusion relieves us of Gaddis' tendency to to philosophize within his fictions. Yet, JR is a very funny book. In this respect, too, it seems less strained and more "honest." JR is, finally, just a more finely crafted work of literature than The Recognitions, and despite the fact that this novel will not yield itself up to those who refuse to give it a leisurely reading and therefore miss the innuendoes of the speakers, Gaddis’ achievement in JR will not be discussed in terms of the author's erudition in arcane subjects or his —C.

That is, the history is not complete unless your doctor has asked you questions about each of your organ systems. For a thorough physical examination, your doctor must examine all the parts of your body from head to toe, "regardless of the complaint that made you visit (the physician] in the first place." As a bonus, Levin details what a patient history is, the types of questions the physician should ask, and what constitutes good general physical pneumococcal examination. Levin even outlines the types of diagnostic tests available, the risks involved, what they specifically test for and when they are generally called for. In the area of good treatment, Levin rightfully insists that your doctor be able to tell you why the drug he has chosen is the best choice for your illness. Happily, with outstanding perception Levin notes that penicillin and other antibiotics are indicated only for bacterial infections and have no use whatsoever in the treatment of viral infections. Levin also observes with great candor that doctors should mostly prescribe drugs by their generic, not their —continued from page SWAP N’SHOP Now open 2 locations for ... is, and what complete pediatric physical constitutes well-baby and well-child care. This book is a start for the health consumer on h«w to get quality health care, and in the process demystify the practice of medicine. However, it is no substitute for years of medical school and post-graduate training, nor does this book make you a bona fide legal health advocate. The book contains a minor debatable points or errors (such as 'The diaphragm is nearly as effective as the pill," found on p. 186. The correct interpretation is that diaphrams are nearly as effective as the pill in a well-motivated educated group of women, but are not nearly as effective in a group of poorly motivated uneducated group of women.). I must comment that Levin's political views are controversial and color his analysis of what constitutes (and how to get) quality health care. Personally, I agree that, politically, health consumers can be a most powerful force for bettering the quality of health care. But I go one step further, and argue that the consumer's role is not only in challenging and questioning his doctors. That role of health consumer, in fact, begins first in the home. That is to say. Levin wants to see peoples' health improved, but he sees improving health by improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the health care system (through consumer prompting). I differ in that I see that "the greatest current potential for improving the health of the American people is to be found in what they do and don't do to and for themselves," i.e., diet, exercise and hygiene. In this view, the health crisis today is a crisis of life style. Furthermore, the health care deliver system can do little to modify these habits, without changes in the practices of the advertising, tobacco, alcoholic products, pharmaceutical, food products and automobile industries. To improve the publics' health, we must also confront these economically and politically powerful giants.

In this latter instance there is the common error of a misdiagnosis of emotional illness from a true organic illness or, if emotional illness is actually present, then a second opinion may be critical in order for the patient to become aware that he truly needs psychiatric help. Levin thoughtfully suggests places to go for a second opinion, in all instances making sure that the second that we return to criticizing an easier and more doctor is not one recommended by the first. large target: the health care system. evaluation accessible of Levin provides a frank In conclusion, I'm not suggesting that Levin's medical school affiliated hospitals.

When dealt with properly, however, it is certainly an important, thought provoking runs great issue.

"I'm sorry I dissolve, ever made you disappear!" she commands him. But he stubbornly refuses to leave. This confuses the girl. She feels threatened by him, for she is no longer in control. He is a creature — of her own making, but the tables have been turned, and he is now the powerful one. The play leaves us asking questions about our reality, rather than providing us with answers, but that is its intention.

Newell's idea of choosing syllables (in the part) solely "for reasons of articulation and sonority" proved very effective, there was real beauty to the vocal part, sung by Martha Hanneman. soprano Experimental modes Really experimental music seldom gets performed, for that matter, written.

Friday, 31 October 1975 — Free Lawawoy NEW STOCKS OF BOOTS HAVE JUST ARRIVED * Prodigal Sun �ORDS cuts have that little touch of soul, nowadays almost essential to AM radio success The biggest problem with this album is Olsson. He is under the delusion that he can sing, when all he really can do is drum. His vocal range is limited, and any attempts to go below or above it are usually unsuccessful. The album's arrangers and producer are aware of this, and try to compensate for it by extra and tracking double orchestral choruses, arrangements which overpower his voice. These semi-sincere poetry. Most of the techniques work to Nigel Olsson (Rocket Records) Nigel Olsson was the drummer amicably kicked out of Elton John's band, along with a few other people. Since this is about his only claim to fame, might expect his solo work to sound very much like that of his former boss. Well, Elton does play a you few notes on one of the songs, but that's as much as his influence is felt. Olsson's first (and hopefully last) solo effort contains 12 songs, and practically any one of them could become a big Top 40 hit, which is not meant as a compliment. Having no real inclinations or direction of his own, he has borrowed several of the most commercially successful modes in pop music. Thus you can find songs with the elements of country music, disco styles, orchestrated pop and Eric Clapton, E C. Was Here (R.S.O.) With the release of his newest album, EC. Was Here, Eric Clapton has rebounded from his moribund state of musical existence back again to a dynamic and rocking career. some extent, but they also make his voice sound more painful when it isn't camouflaged, as well as adding to the album's thin but overproduced feeling. Fortunately, one of the areas where Olsson does not exert himself is in the songwriting. He has written only three songs, and two people helped him with those. The only immediately recognizable cut, "A Girl Like You," is a carbon copy of the Rascal's classic, but it is a pale rendition without the clarity of the original The few enjoyable moments of this album come when the songs are well written enough to override their treatment, as in the case of those by Tim Moore and the Bee Gees. Just one song is well executed: "Can't You See," which has a pretty melody and a nice pseudo classical atmosphere. It sounds like simplified Electric Light Orchestra; I guess that's why I like it. Elton John made a mistake in letting this drummer go. If Olsson had stayed in the band, he would have been kept in the background; none of his musical ideas would have been exposed, and this or feel album would have been aborted. That would have E. Zielinski been nice. — Clapton's mournful voice, it closes with a flourish as Clapton and his sidekick, apprentice guitarist, George Terry trade some amazing guitar licks. It's on this specific cut that one is forced to realize that Clapton's latest band is a very good and tight E C. Was Here is a live album chronicling Clapton's tour of this past summer and if his tour was any indication of what's to come, then true, gutsy rock 'n roll (the kind that has been dormant since the passing of the mid and late 1960's) just might be returning in the personnage of the man who did more to popularize it than any other English guitarist. Though every cut on the album is at least good, at best great, there are two that are worth noting "Have You Ever Loved A Woman" and "Drifting ." Both of these songs do more to show the versatility and prowess of Clapton on guitar than any others on the album. Even though "Have You Ever Loved A Woman” opens up appropriately bluesy with the help of aggregate Elton John, Rock of the Westies (MCA Records) You must have heard that familiar phrase "I've heard that song before." Deja vu is my feeling about the new Elton John album, Rock of the I've heard it all before and this time Westies around, it's pretty bad Bernie Taupin's sense of humor, concerning a girl he met that had a fantastic body but was incredibly ugly Don’t be surprised if it shows up on the next — - First of all, with an album with such a dumb title, you know something's wrong.

This might be Taupin's theme song when he's back on the streets after the crap on this album is released One song, "Street Kids," has lyrics that are almost identical to "Saturday Night's All ight for Fighting." The biggest shock of the album lies with Elton John's terrible musical material It sounds like every other song he's done. The best song on the album, "I Feel Like a Bullet (In the Gun of Robert Ford)," sounds almost to the quarter-note like "Someone Saved My Life Tonight." "Street Kids” has a piano riff which has appeared in a dozen other John songs. You could listen to this album and compare it with any of Elton's albums before Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and you will see the downfall of a great artist. My roommate summed up Elton's present state "All Elton John is writing now is a lot of shit.” If he dares to put another album out he has a lot of making up to do.

Every "notion" presented must be made clear and acceptable. Chambers warns. Chambers accuses America of "denying its own best traditions in theater. We've ripped off from all of Europe and bastardized their theatrical traditions." This is why he was turned on to Ronnie Bwana. It is, he says, a "very American" play, but not in the "Vay, ah, Bicentennial way." This play, Chambers declares, "tips the balance towards theatrical tradition." There are a lot of plays out now, Chambers continues, about the "weird American folk heroes" like Jesse James and Billy the Kid. Most are musicals and move quickly. These are exciting, Chambers maintains, because they're looking at our culture and combining it with our best theatrical traditions. Chambers began directing when he was in high school. He doesn't like being involved "in one line of a whole series of lines." It is because of this that he directs and writes. He can then be involved in the "entire realm of creation and production," Director likes uniqueness of American theatric traditions by Steven Cohen Spectrum Arts Staff An assistant professor at this University until the spring of 1973, when he resigned his position, David Chambers has returned to us as the Associate Director of the Theater Department's Center for Theater Research, a "visiting something-or-other on the faculty," as he puts it and the director of the Theater Department's Jungle Guide. production of Ronnie Bwana During his previous stint at the University, Chambers ■ tarted the company called the Faustus Project. This later evolved into the Buffalo Project, which is the group "in 'residence at the Center for Theater Research at the Courtyard Theater." During the time that Chambers was away from Buffalo, he worked on shows in New York and in Minnesota. Fie also directed and wrote the book and lyrics for a show that toured the Midwest. He has now "started to write . . . because I wasn't finding scripts that interested me." He enjoys writing and regards it as his "next big life challenge." Chambers doesn't like acting, though, because he has "the world's worst case of stage fear." He gets "all his acting out in rehearsals, as the director." He did, however, act professionally on CBS' Search for Tomorrow. Apart from that, all his acting has been non-professional. — Sports and theater Chambers was attracted to the theater when he was in high school. This happened, he says, because the only ways he had of getting recognition when he was young involved and theater. In college. Chambers "moved away from theater," becoming very political. He started an SDS chapter at his school and was student body president and "threw a lot of bricks at the Dean's window." He later received an MFA in Theater from Yale. As for directing. Chambers notes that from the director's point of view, working with professionals sports actors often need a lot of training. Each level has its advantages, however. When working with Student actors. Chambers says he can "question what is acting," which is one of the "major concerns" of his life. "What is the task of the actor?What can he bring to the stage and the audience and the role that he plays? These are the fundamental questions to which Chambers can get back when he works on the college level. He feels that professionals often think they're beyond these questions (which they never are) and don't try to deal with them. 'Create a gift’ Chambers likes to develop things. He likes "to create a gift" and "prepare and spice it and bring it forth." There is also a negative reasoning for his directing, that being the Frustrations Student actors have their own types of frustrations, though. They are involved in other things and there are scheduling and level-of-commitment differences. Professional actors, however, are expensive. For example, the present production of Ronnie Bwana Jungle Guide, Chambers estimates would cost about $300,000 if presented on a large off-Broadway scale in New York. Here, though, the cost is about $2,500. — The cost factor in professional theater makes it difficult to show raw new works, due to the danger of losing an enormous amount of money. This, states Chambers, is why the Center for Theater Research is so important. It exposes new plays and talented people who might otherwise never get this needed exposure. The Theater Department, Chambers says, chose to put on Ronnie Bwana because the play was available and also because of its large scale. It is very funny (when it works) and unabashedly flamboyant. It is. Chamber says, "unashamed in its tribute to bad thirties and forties movies. It has all the stock cliches, sometimes with interesting twists. It has rock numbers, soft shoe numbers . . . bad jokes, good jokes, elaborate jokes, simple jokes and a cast of thousands. It's a poor man's spectacular." Dark humor involves very little training of actors, while college-level It has depth, though, Chambers notes. h Darm humor "incredible power" involved in directing. Basically, though, he enjoys bringing people together and trying to find a "common sensibility." As a director, Chambers will "do almost anything," but he prefers the "American theatrical tradition." Ronnie Bwana, he says, is chock full of all the things Americans are best at music, vaudeville and improvisation. Theater is on the upswing in America, Chambers maintains, but "it doesn't know where the hell it's going." The biggest problem in America is that is has "never developed a relationship with theater." This is unlike Europe where theater is very much a part of the life and culture. "George Bernard Shaw said a country without a theater is a country without a soul." He continues, "I think America is a country without a soul, although a soul — is beginning to develop." As proof, Chambers offers the fact that despite the economic depression at the beginning of the last Broadway season, its theaters had their most successful season in about 15 years. According to Chambers, the theater looks up now and says "all right, now that we're here and established, what the hell are we?What have we got that's ours? American theatrical tradition (vaudeville and musical) can be traced back to other forms, but we made it something unique.

I am not prepared either to accept the writer’s that Arabs are anti-Zionist, but not anti-Semitic. What, if not anti-Semitism, would one call an Arab state’s refusal to admit a person of the Jewish faith even for a visit?Incidentally, the term anti-Semitism was not mine, but rather a quotation from a remark by the U.S. Delegate to the U.N. Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee to characterize the resolution on Zionism. No, Mr. Arabi, 1 do not believe that the State of Israel is immune from criticism. No state, ancient or modern, is. I simply claimed that Zionism is not a form of racism as the ill-conceived U.N. Committee resolution did. And I furthermore claimed that his kind of political recklessness pursued by the Communist and Arab blocks in the U.N. will not do the cause of a peaceful world any good. argument I have difficulty with Wahad Arabi’s reasoning in his letter to The Spectrum of Oct. 27. To characterize as racism Israel’s refusal to permit the Palestinians to return is highly inappropriate. The facts are: Many thousands of Arabs have been repatriated over the years. Many thousands have been visiting in Israel under the summer visitation program. Arabs living in Israel have the same political rights as any other citizens of Israel, including representation in Parliament and positions in the Government. What the writer failed to point out is that there are many Palestinians who wish to return for the sole purpose of destroying the State of Israel from within. To grant permission to return under those circumstances entails a security risk which no state can afford to take.

To focus on any one of the above points as its BASIC purpose, is, I feel misleading, for as one can see the Gray Panthers are a multi-dimensional group. Panthers To the Editor. I would like to clarify some of the statements attributed to me in the article, “Young and Old Organize in the War to End Age Discrimination” in Monday’s Oct. 27 issue of The Spectrum. In this article, Jerry Rosoff stated that I am a “spokesperson” for the Buffalo Chapter of the Gray Panthers. This is true only in the sense that every member of the Buffalo Gray Panthers is a spokesperson for the group. In other words, there is no-one designated as spokesperson for the Buffalo Gray Panthers.

In response to Richard Lynch’s note in The Spectrum regarding the Giant’s win over the Bills at Rich Stadium, I find it humorous that New Yorkers feel their sports teams are in the same class as those of Buffalo’s. Granted, an occasional win is to be expected. Shall we talk hockey?As far as the abuse New York fans have taken from Buffalo fans, 1 find th6 exact opposite true and I’m not only referring to sports. Seems that New Yorkers can’t recognize a better city when they see it or at least they can’t admit it, and again I’m not only referring to sports. I’m not originally from Buffalo, so I feel I can say these things without bragging. Compare the two cities from any aspect; financial well being, (although Buffalo is now being dragged down by New York) crime rate, music and sports, and the type of human being it produces, and 1 feel Buffalo must certainly come up on top. Even considering that Buffalo is a smaller city (A “Town” I’ve heard it referred to by New Yorkers), it undoubtedly offers more, especially from a human level. For New Yorkers who feel the need to criticize Buffalo, especially in areas in which she excels, please go back to New York and go to school, if you can stand the Money’s the motive To the Editor There are two reasons why people become involved in political struggles. One reason is to effect some kind of meaningful political change because of one’s personal beliefs. The other reason is to achieve a significant personal gain. I am afriad that the recent activism on the part of CUNY and SUNY students regarding the N.Y.C. financial crisis is more for the second reason than the first. This belief is based upon the fact that, absent of an issue involving their wallets, most students are politically dormant. If this be the case, CUNY and SUNY students are no different from Chase Manhattan Bank, Lockhead, General Motors and the rest. All are special interests fighting for one cause; themselves. The real tragedy occurs when the N.Y.C. crisis is over. General Motors, Chase Manhattan, and SUNY and CUNY students, will crawl into a hole and hide place. Chris Baker Apple sellers To the Editor A recent issue of The Spectrum carried a letter from one David Weprin of Albany, calling on students to buy “Little MAC” bonds to help save New York City. It should be noted that Weprin is the son of a state assemblyman from New York City. While saving New York City (and for that matter large cities in general) is an essential cause, Weprin’s idea of bailing out New York by bailing out its banks is somewhat lacking in good intentions. One thing Weprin did not mention in his letter: under the law creating the Municipal Assistance Corporation, bondholders are paid before city employees in the event of bankruptcy. To Weprin’s proposal 1 can only reply that it is bankers and bondholders who should be the ones to sell apples on the street corners. It is the bankers who should be laid off, made to retire early, sped-up, and harassed, not honest city employees. mi,wo W BOMB UMO ewe ear vouee: VGbT camn (6s sprinters David l.ennetl Mike McGuire jH(|?R3B;MIRR0R Ok) until the next issue that effects their wallets.

More emphasis is put on expressing yourself than on producing something that’s OK by men’s standards.” Joyce said the goal of the two skill classes, Automotives and Photography, is “breaking down the stereotypes that women can’t do certain things.

He is presently a student at this University and a staff member of The Spectrum. by Jack Kramer Spectrum his Staff Writer With Generalissmo Franco on death-bed in Spain, the anticipation of growing internal turmoil brings back thoughts of Spanish the Civil War and Franco’s rise to power. In 1936, five years after the monarchy abdicated, the Spanish people elected a new government, comprised of a coalition of Left Communists, Republican and Syndicalists. The new cabinet consisted entirely of liberal Republicans but enjoyed the parliamentary support of the Socialists and the Communists.

The Poles are currently on tour in the United States as part of the Amateur Athletic Union’s cultural exchange program. The Polish team is made up of wrestlers who have competed in either Olympic, European, or World events, while the American team will include such memorable Bulls as Bill Jacoutot, Tony Policare, Eric Knuutila, and Charlie Wright. Other Americans in the meet will be top graduates from wrestling programs at Brockport and Cornell. Competition will be in both freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling, a disadvantage for Americans who tend to stay away from Greco-Roman. One of the more interesting matchups in the meet will be at 136.5 pounds. The Americans will go with Jim Young, who was undefeated in dual meet competition last year, only to be slowed by an injury in the NCAA championships.

McDonough is satisfied with the course but has been unhappy with the lack of cooperation exhibited by Campus Security.

In Wednesday’s issue of The Spectrum, an article reported on the which is activities of the Buffalo Frisbee team, one of many club sports which for some funded at Buffalo. Most of the clubs promote sports Frisbee, reason cannot make their way into varsity status. For Ultimate the reason is lack of established organization. Other club sports include lacrosse, skiing and bowling, but it is Ultimate Frisbee which is so curious. Frisbee itself is a relatively new concept. Frisbees have not been popular for too long. But Ultimate Frisbee is an innovation which shows that almost any athletic activity can somehow be converted to a team sport, even on the varsity level. Sports like skydiving, handgliding, and auto racing certainly could be adapted to create collegiate level sports, and who knows, maybe someday that will happen. In any case, the time for planning out some of these “new” collegiate sports is now, and so, here is a list of possibilities for your consumption and consideration. (By the way, if you come up with ideas of your own, we would love to hear from you.) Varsity Dodge Bali. There is nothing new about this game, and to promote it to the varsity level would be simple. Team size and number of “outs” permitted would have to be determined, however. Varsity Freeze Tag. Teams of seven players would play on a typical gym floor. A team would score an “ice cube” every time it froze the entire opposition. The game would be played over two timed halves with offense and defense switching at each half. Most “ice cubes at the end of the game wins. is the last day to TODAY, OCT. 31 St submit proposals for revised budgets If you are finding difficulty meeting costs for proposed projects — you are entitled to submit revised or altered budget proposals. These new plans will be considered fulfillment. So, if Sports Editor are CLUBS, possible by David J. Rubin & reviewed for necessary, submit pour budget revision TODAY in the S.A. Office, Varsity Rope Jumping. This sport would probably take on a track meet type of format, with competition in speed (most jumps in a minute, five minutes, etc.), distance (races around a track while jumping rope). and pairs events Varsity Hide and Seek. To make this game viable on the varisty level, each school would play six a side, and -would have one hour to tag at least one member of the opposition. Hiders would have the option of reaching “home” to avoid a tag, but would have to shout “Home Free All” When they arrived. Unfortunately, it is expected that this game would be subject to extreme home court advantage. Varsity Fan This is a new idea in sport developed for the college level. It would operate similar to ice skating, because there would he one section termed “compulsory' and another known as freestyle. In the compulsorics each team member would go through various types ol cheerleading and tan chants like “Nuts and bolts, nuts and bolts, we got screwed.” In the freestyle, each athlete would perform his own 3-minufe routine of cheers, motions, and boos. Varsity Fund Raising. In this competition the two schools would be paired off. One player from gach team would be sent out to try to collect as much money as possible from the student body for a fictitious cause determined by the referees before hand. The team with of dollars collected over a time period wins. This sport is especially beneficial since funds raised can be used to supplement athletic budgets. most amount Varsity scoring scoring Varsity require Treat. This sport is similar to fund raising, but its system is a little bit different. Instead of dollars, calories is the unit. In case of a tie, number of potential cavities is substituted. Sleeping. This one is fairly straightforward, but it would overnight road trips. Trick or Varsity Pizzamaking. Another fairly straightforward idea. It would be scored similarly to pole vaulting. Contestants would attempt certain heights of “pizza toss” and be charged with a miss if they either dropped the pizza (God forbid) or didn’t throw it high enough. Club Snowshoveling. Tins sport would be restricted to the club level because travel in the snow is difficult. Four man teams would attempt to clear equal-sized driveways as fast as possible. This sport would be held in two divisions, regular shovel, and power snowblower. Varsity Bolkswagen An old idea, this sport would put an emphasis on smallness as teams would try to cram as many players into a Volks as possible. Combined scores would include performances in Beetles, Super Beetles, Sciroccos, Rabbits and Vans. Varsity Shuffleboard and Varsity Bocci Like dodge ball, these are already established sports which could easily be adopted for collegiate competition Intramural Parking. This sport is restricted to the intramural level, because it is unknown whether it can be set up at other colleges. Two five man teams would drive cars individually from Main and Amherst. They would park as close to campus as possible and then run to Clark Hall to check in. Scoring would be based on two factors; time from Main and Amherst to Clark Hall, and closeness of parking space to campus. Parking in faculty lots would result in disqualification.

Kirkpatrick told the SASU membership last weekend in Albany that the financial situation facing SUNY and New York State could necessitate the closing of several SUNY campuses should the city default. SASU Executive Committee member Linda Kaboolian indicated that SUNY has gone so far as to draw up tentative plans for closing two or three campuses. Speculation centered on the State Colleges at Fredonia, Utica-Rome and Old Westbury as the schools most likely to be closed. Old Westbury does not yet have a library building, and the other most recently-opened SUNY campus, Utica—Rome, has no buildings at all. Fredonia may be in danger because it is reportedly not meeting its enrollment quota. , Seriousness stressed Construction cutbacks announced by Chancellor Ernest Boyer last week will delay the beginning of the Utica-Rome structures another year, even if the city does not default. “Most students don’t grasp how serious the problem really is,” Kirkpatrick said. ‘Teople don’t realize what it could mean for us and for SUNY.” Kirkpatrick, a non-voting member of the SUNY Board of Trustees, also predicted lay-offs for thousands of faculty, tuition increases, and the destruction of open-access and Educational Opportunity (EOP)-ojiented programs The membership accepted nine “courses of action,” recommended by Kirkpatrick, to help prevent New York City’s financial collapse, most of which will be carried out in, conjunction with other 29 October 1975 Audubon Development of Amherst new community halted by UDC The state Urban Development Corporation (UDC) has voted to further site suspend any development at its Audubon new community in Amherst. The announcement came just four days after a decision by the State University (SUNY) Board of Trustees to freeze all new construction on state-operated campuses. The 2000-acres Audubon community was designed to absorb an anticipated 27,000 increase person population created by the adjacent Amherst of Suspension Campus. development there, like the freeze on Amherst construction, is part of a cutback on all state-funded construction in light of New York City’s anticipated default and the state Housing Finance Agency’s difficulty in selling long term municipal bonds. Both moves apparently spell an end to an era of seemingly limitless growth and prosperity for the University in Amherst. developed land. In addition, most of UDCs 24 member staff will reportedly be fired. “This is not an abandonment of Audubon,” stated John G. Burnett, UDC President and chief executive officer. He explained that the usspension, the length of which must still be discussed at a meeting in Amherst with local officials Wednesday, would not affect work on Audubon’s first 215 units. One-hundred eighty of these have already been sold. Work will probably stop on the planned Audubon Parkway, the four lane road planned as the spine of the new community. The freeze at Audubon also places in doubt the future of the proposed Buffalo-Amherst Rapid which Corridor, for Transit federal funds are pending. The new elevated trains were planned to serve the new residents of Amherst. The future of a planned large commerical shopping center, seen as a source of badly needed “The UDC, like all agencies in the state, is in a very tenuous cash position,” a UDC spokesperson in Albany told the Buffalo Evening News Monday. Six months ago, the state legislature gave the UDC $368 it from million to save bankruptcy. At that time, the agency agreed to study the feasibility of long term “new town” projects like Audubon and Radison in Syracuse. A Toronto-based consulting agency, commissioned to make the study, concluded that the projected sale of 600 units at Audubon this year was a gross overestimation. The consultant’s report is said to favor the completion of housing projects which provide cash, mainly in rents, on a reliable basis, and to delay the two public development projects. It was then decided that Audubon building will henceforth be restricted to private previously contractors on —continued on page 8— organizations. Letters and lobbies These included letter-writing and lobbying campaigns, to be undertaken by SASU in cooperation with the National Student Lobby, National Student Assembly, United Student Senate, the City University of New York Faculty Union, the Union of University Professionals and the Coalition for Public Higher Education (an organization of labor unions). Also considered was a one-day SUNY-wide moratorium of classes, andean intensive, simultaneous coverage of the budget crisis by the SUNY student media. These measures, according to Kirkpatrick, would all ask aid for New York City, and thus fight the cutbacks SUNY will have to face if the city’s economy collapses. “We need to make people know what’s going on,” he stressed. Kirkpatrick said the moratorium on classes would be “a day of education,” during which discussions of the crisis would take place on each campus. Trustee support? Purchase SASU delegate Andy Hugos also suggested that on the day of moratorium, students rally in Albany and/or Washington to make their concerns visible to their government representatives. Kirkpatrick said he believes the Board of Trustees would be willing to support such a moratorium as a means to back up requests for federal aid for New Yorjc City. Several members he spoke to “agreed that something had to be done, and that maybe this [moratorium] is a good idea.” The importance of a unified effort within SUNY to face the impending crisis was stressed by many of the SASU delegates. “We have to educate the faculty just as much as the students,” said Potsdam representative Todd Siegler. \/ • I 1 •, # /A Audubon • * $ JZ I? 5* Xo'K' lYAB MorfK CarnpY* Catastrophy S ASU Services Director Jim Mossgraber added that the effects of a default would be “catastrophic” to many other groups, besides students. A steep decline in the stock market, such as the one which began when New York City almost defaulted two weeks ago, would certainly take place, he said Another course of action that was proposed by Hugos, and subsequently adopted was “petitioning the SUNY Board of Trustees to use their influence in the banking community” to invest in city bonds. “It’s the bankers that are, in fact, running the city,” Hugos explained, pointing out that among the Trustees are executives of the Chase Manhattan and Marine Midland Banks. “And they’re doing it by not investing in the city,” he said. The membership also ratified proposals by Hugos to lobby within the federal government “to declare a moratorium on payment of interest to banks” and form a special committee to plan specific tactics, programs, and strategy for carrying out these proposals. 2S2A,, SMWYHe Main 9t.

Bill sent back to committee n �Congressman seeks to ban publicity about Evel Knievel by Pat Quinlivan City Editor Congressman John M. Murphy (D., N Y.) is waging a campaign to have the feats of daredevil Evel Knievel banned from network television in this country. Citing numerous serious injuries suffered by youngsters who have tried to duplicate the motorcyclist’s daring leaps, Murphy told the House of Representatives last week that he believes the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) “has made a ‘pact with .the Devil’.” In his latest move, Murphy urged the Federal Communications Commission (FOC) to prevent the showing of Knievel’s October 23 jump over 14 Greyhound buses at an amusement park in Ohio. No action was taken by the FOC? Knievel survived the jump, which was featured live on ABC’s Wide WoHd of Sports, but he narrowly avoided serious iqjury and possibly death, when his rear wheel landed on the fourteenth bus, several feet short of the ramp. His bike cracked, but held together, and he rode down the > ramp safely. World-famous life-risker The “World-famous Life-risker,” as he was called by ABC announcers, sternly and emphatically repeated before and after his jump that what he does is dangerous, and should not be imitated by anyone else. It was the publicity surrounding Knievel’s most famous performance, an attempted rocket-jump over the Snake River Canyon on September 8, 1974, that drew Murphy’s first official blasts. He charged then that ABC executives not only refused to remove a tape of the event from their September 14 schedule last fall, but proceeded to spend thousands of dollars in publicizing both the jump itself and the video-taped replay of it on Wide World of Sports. Murphy explained before the House last week that his argument is not with Knievel, but “with the networks who, in protecting their investment, give no thought to the bloody consequences or after giving it some thought, simply ignore it.*’ f Detailed injuries V Murphy then re-introduced a report he wrote last year, detailing injuries suffered by youngsters all over the country who tried to duplicate Knievcl’s feats of derring-do. For example: A 14-year-old from Utica, New York - drove up an old car hood on his bike and tumbled, crushing the bones in his neck. He is now “paralyzed from the neck down for life.” An 8-year-old child from New York City drove up a ramp on his bicycle and - THE SPANISH CLUB presents |J| A GRAMMAR FESTIVAL with guest speaker was i punctured his liver and spent over three weeks in a hospital. A 12-year-old New York youth suffered a perforation of the jejunum (part - of the small intestine) when his takeoff ramp collapsed. He spent five days in intensive care, and almost died. A reporter for the Minneapolis Star said, “For the next multi-million dollar extravaganza, Evel Knievel should jump over the Mayo Clinic to pay for the Testing errors Student redresses sought “Let's test the testers" is the slogan for the New York Public Interest Research Group’s (NYP1RG) investigation of the Educational Testing Service (ETS). The ETS is the non-profit corporation centered in Princeton, New Jersey, that designs and administers standardized exams used for admission into colleges and universities across the country. “We as students are the largest consumers of the ETS product mass testing,” said Paul Maggiotto, local ETS coordinator for Buffalo NYPIRG. “It is time for students to stand up for their rights as consumers and demand that ETS be accountable for its errors,” he added. - Dr. Jorge Guitart Thursday, Oct 30 at 2:00 in 215 L Richmond imitators.” The report also included other tales of children from 6-16 who received broken bones and concussions as the result of their attempts to emulate their hero. Many of these told hospital attendants and doctors that they were Evel Knievel. Murphy added that Attorney General Edward Levi “has pointed to violence on TV as a major cause of this country’s love affair with violent behavior.” An ETS complaint center has been established in the NYPIRG office in 311 Norton Hall. Any student who has experienced difficulties with ETS or mass testing is encouraged to fill out a complaint form which will be sent to the state coordinating center for the ETS project at Brooklyn College. If the complaints action will be proposed ETS's unresponsiveness its secrecy, “and prove substantial, legislative to end what NYPIRG feels is to education and the public, most important, its often destructive influence on educational policy making and on individual students." “Students have no where to turn if they have been mistreated by ETS,” added NYPIRG staff attorney Gerry Schultz. “It is part of our goal to make people more aware of ETS, mass testing, and their effect on the education process,” he explained. Joanne Slaight, ETS state-wide coordinator said, “The purpose will be to see whether ETS, operator of LSAT’a, SAT’s. NMSQT’s and a plethora of other \ educational tests is guilty of large-scale inefficiency. We’ll be looking for students or former students who feel they have been victimized by ETS’s mechanical errors.” She said this inefficiency may include loss or unreasonable delay in sending out transcripts, failure to report scores or assignment of students to wrong testing centers. In its pamphlet. Let's Test the Testers, NYPIRG cited a case where the transcripts of 200 law school applicants were lost by ETS during 1974-75. More accountable NYPIRG staff attorneys are currently drafting legislation designed to make ETS more accountable. “We hope to mandate disclosure [of ETS activities] and provide remedies for students who have had difficulty with ETS,” explained state NYPIRG director Donald Ross. Maggiotto explained that the NYPIRG office plans to open additional complaint centers at high schools and other colleges throughout the Buffalo area. Another goal of the ETS project is to investigate how the test scores are interpreted and used by school admission officials. “A mqjor problem with the mass testing syndrome, are the abusers of test scores administrative officials who rely too heavily on test scores in determining acceptable applicants,” - Maggiotto remarked. Students can pick up complaint forms and drop them in the ETS complaint box outside the NYPIRG office.^ Wednesday, 29 October 1975 . The Spectrum .

About 115 students participated in the games and activities at the event. One popular, but messy activity was the pie throw, while the possible free dinner at the Scotch and Sirloin made the lottery a big attraction. Other games at the carnival included bouncing-ball and basin-ball games, a tongue-deptesser game, run by an individual clad in a crazy doctor costume, a ring-tossing game and a tick-tack-toe game with bean bags. The carnival was designed to help the University in its contribution to the United Way drive. The has been highly successful, earning a total of about $330. This year’s carnival was more successful than last year’s because it was on a Friday night, while last year’s was on a Sunday afternoon, according to director Sharlot Flury. “I thought it would be a good way to raise money for the United Fund,” she explained. She hopes to see the carnival become an annual event. Asked about the time that went, into the planning of this event, Flury replied, “It was a lot of work,” and much credit is due to the 25 volunteers who helped make the carnival possible. New street lights cut energy while increasing light output by Paul Buttino Staff Writer Spectrum Cities that replace incandescent street lights with high pressure sodium lamps may realize a substantial cut substantial increases in lighting with in energy costs. Many cities have been forced to cut back on street-light usage in an effort to conserve energy. In many cases, however, this led to higher crime rates and a rise in automobile accidents. In Salem, Oregon, the local utility company replaced 1,000-watt mercury lights in the business district with 400-watt high-pressure sodium units. This switch is netting Salem taxpayers a 40 percent increase in lighting levels, and a 42 percent cut in energy consumption. Further proof of the potential energy saving offered by this new lighting technology can be seen in New York City. Milton Musicus, chairman of a committee planning to install more than 86,000 sodium street-lights throughout the five borroughs, said this action will provide almost 50 percent more light, yet save citizens more than one-million gallons of oil per year. (population 32,000) increased light-levels from one footcandle to four footcandles, according to city Electric Superintendent Joe Brackin. “The lamps provide 14,200 more lumens of light per standard, yet require ten percent less energy than 400-watt mercury lamps. This means we have upgraded our lighting, while reducing energy requirements,” he Other cities The switch from incandescent to high-pressure sodium lighting is being witnessed in other areas throughout the country. “Turning the lights out wouldn’t be as wise as carrying out our conservation switching from incandescent to either program mercury or high-pressure sodium units which burn less electricity, but give more illumination,” said Conrad B. Harrison, Salt Lake City Parks and Public Property Commissioner.

Bob and Don's added. Strange hues The public has generally reacted favorably to the new lighting systems, complaining only of the unusual yellowish hue they emit. One advantage of the new lamps is that they adapt easily to the light posts already in service. Most only require removal of the old lamp and replacing the new. One reason sodium lighting isn’t as wide-spread as the efficiency statistics suggest is due to difficulties in maintaining them. One city lost 34 percent of its light output as a result of dust accumulation on the new units and 24 percent was lost due to aging of the equipment. The accumulation of bugs which adhere to the also contributes to lamp surface reflecting depreciation. Time control devices which regulate when the lights go on and off, is important in cost-cutting and energy-saving. Time switches can be set for any time period desired. With the photoelectric or light-sensitive switch, the amount of daylight falling on a xell lowers the resistence and permits a current to flow. When the lighting level drops, however, the resistence of the cell is raised sufficiently to reduce current flow. Thus, the photoelectric control operates when lights are needed.

Available at YOUR UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORE Norton — �Commentary Peaceful foreign policy seems incompatible with arms race and that our national security is best served by building new weapons systems. Recently, the New York Times quoted Schlesinger as saying that the Soviet Union “may be outspending us by 50 percent.” The idea of a “Soviet menace” which will outspend us in building new nuclear weapons has been the main argument the Defense Department has used to justify by Philip Moran Staff Writer Spectrum The 1976 defense budget is being studied by Congressional appropriations committees this month. The Pentagon’s justification for increasing the defense budget by $10 billion raises questions over the Ford administration’s support of detente with the Soviet Union. Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger’s insistence on spending billions of dollars to construct B-l bombers and first-strike nuclear weapons is in apparent conflict with President Ford’s continuation of political and military detente with the Soviet Union. President Ford and Secretary of State Kissinger have supported peaceful coexistence with the Soviet Union. Kissinger has reported that a new strategic arms limitation agreement with the Soviet Union is on the verge of completion. The negotiation of this agreement is consistent with the May 26, 1972 agreement between the two superpowers to limit anti-ballistic missile systems. Agreements signed between former President Nixon and Communist Party leader Leonid Brezhnev in 1973 specified that neither the United States nor the Soviet Union should engage in any actions that would heighten world tensions in the direction of nuclear war. The Pentagon, on the other hand, insists that a “strong defense posture” is the most effective guarantee of peace. Schlesinger considers the threat of limited nuclear warfare as a deterrent to any type of foreign “aggression.” In recent months, he has threatened to use nuclear weapons against the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea. The Pentagon also commissioned the American Security Council (ASC), a private organization, to analyze the success of detente and the possible alternative of limited nuclear war. According to the Daily World, a leading Communist Party publication, the ASC report, “Detente and Soviet Strategy,” states that detente is assisting in the Soviet quest for “world domination.” The ASC report also states that a “major tenet of Soviet strategy is peaceful coexistence in order to avoid strategic nuclear war.” The report supports the idea that the Sovet Union is engaged in detente for ulterior motives increases in military spending. It is clear from United Nations’ (UN) statistics that this accusation by Schlesinger is without foundation. In October 1971, groups of experts in the UN, including both Americans and Soviets, unanimously adopted a report entitled The Economic and Social Consequences of the Arms Race and Its Profoundly Grave Affects on Peace and Security in the World. - The report showed that from 1949-1969, the Soviet Union increased military spending by 4.1 percent each year as compared to 7 percent each year by the United States. Since 1969, the Soviet Union has not increased its military spending at all, according to the UN Statistical Yearbook. In 1974, the USSR Central Board of Statistics reported a small decline in military spending. The UN Statistical Yearbook also shows that as a percentage of the national budget, Soviet expenditures on defense declined from 12.4 percent in 1970 to 8 percent last year. In absolute terms, the Soviets have spent about $40 billion for defense each year since 1969. Jean EUenstein’s book, History of the USSR confirms these statistics. However, she speculates that perhaps as much as five percent of the budget goes toward economic and military aid to national liberation movements. This would conceivably add another $15—$20 million to the official , defense budget. There are no reliable statistics that put the figure higher than $60 billion. The Soviet Union would have to spend $135 billion to substantiate Schlesinger’s charge. The United States, on the other hand, has increased defense spending from $81.2 billion in 1969 to 87.7 in 1975, according to the United States government. Defense spending makes up 30 percent of the federal government’s budget, which was $304.4 billion in the year ending in June 1975. Since the end of the Vietnam war, the Defense Department has had difficulty justifying higher military spending. Not only is there popular opposition to defense increases because these increases often mean huts in social programs, but a significant section of big business is also opposed to more defense spending. The Daily World reported that Philip Defliese, a spokesman for Coopers and Lybrand, the largest accounting firm in the world, stated: “The costs of stockpiling nuclear weapons and maintaining nuclear arms and largely unproductive armies cannot be tolerated in modern times.” It seems clear that the trend of pursuing pfeace in foreign policy and attempting to meet domestic social needs is incompatible with the nuclear arms race. The Ford administration, however, seems intent on riding these contradictory currents.

Paradise lost About ten years ago; Governor Rockefeller held out the hope that SUNY would become the crown of state educational systems throughout the country* with this particular campus designated as the largest jewel in that crown. We are now somewhere between that expectation and the realization (limbo), with no hope of ever realizing it within our educational lifetime. - It is cause for despair. The SUNY central administration retrenches while Hayes Hall tells us we must "bite the bullet." This implies -cutting the acquisition budget of a library that has been desperately trying to catch up in order to become what administrators pretend it to be, a major reserach facility; —building a gym for 25,000+ Brockport's, a school of 5,000; students the size of —cutting back on academic programs in the name of centralization, leaving highly trained, well-paid faculty like a heard of beached whales, without programs or students in their areas of expertise; —maintaining a vast array of "interim, temporary" campuses spread throughout the city at great cost while running a million dollar per year busing program to shuttle harried students from campus to campus. It is bad enough no viable sense of community exists because of the physical conditions we inherited, but we must put up with the adminsitration's decision to stop printing a yearly academic directory which destroys any hope of incoming and transfer students ever knowing about school services, academic courses and programs without journeying to every department in our far-flung galaxy. Adding insult to injury, the campus phone directory discontinued student listings, placing everyone incommunicado. Since the public phone directory doesn't include student's phones installed in September, the entire University must resort to getting its information from the new pay as you go New York Telephone Information System. All we are left with is a long list of phone numbers on a printed paper that tells us, "help, where to find it!" We can only conclude that our educators have somewhere lost sight of their purpose. This vast multi-million dollar institution no longer (if it ever did) considers education its primary responsibility, shortchanging students, teachers, and the taxpayers of the state of New York. "Let each become all he is capable of being" has become nothing but the emptiest of phrases. - The Spectrum Vol. 26, No. 30 Wednesday, 29 October 1975 Editor-in-Chief — Amy Dunkin Managing Editor Richard Korman Gerry McKeen Advertising Manager Howard Koenig Business Manager - - — Laura Bartlett Howard Greenblatt Pat Quinlivan Shari Hochberg David Rapheal Mitchell Regenbogen .

To the Editor. A guide to Food Service To the Editor. 1 would like to call to your attention a comment made by Donald Bozek, Assistant Director of Food Service. I quote from the October 22 issue of The Spectrum: “They (students) are more expendable than their full-time counterparts because their work usually requires very little skill.” He said this in reference to the dismissal of several student employees of Food Service. It is with reference to his referral that I suggest that there is no barter time than now to look into the education and background of a full-time employee of Food Service. Leave us begin The big name in colleges and universities that offer the special major in food service is UCLA (University Cafeteria at Los Angeles). A more popular way of obtaining your degree in this field, however, is to take a mail correspondence course such as the one offered by ECPI (Eat, Chew, then Pray Institute). As their brochure reads, “Just send us the keys to your car and the deed to your house and one week later you too will have a career in the exciting field of Food Service.” This route although more expensive is much easier. Admission to schools requiring your attendance, I quote from Baron's Colleges and Universities, is “competitive.” Hence it necessitates not only good marks in high school, but also high scores on your F.S.A.T.s (Food Service Aptitude Test). Good grades and high scores aren’t everything though. I quote now from Sloppy's Food Shoveling and Club Fool Digest what the author believes are important traits for a successful and long career in Food Service. “Must like to wear wigs. Must like to wear Howard Johnson uniforms. Must like to scratch nose.” The last characteristic, perhaps the most important one, depends on how well your mother did her job. For the best qualification to be a Food Service employee is to have been weaned on a sour pickle. It is important to remember that not unlike being a doctor this is a twenty-four hour job. At home a “Food Service lady” is as efficient in her own kitchen as she is at work. The father and the children line up, trays in hand and announce their numbers. “One. Two. Three . .” depending on how many are in the family. She gives a ticket to each member of her household so as to make sure each can get seconds but not thirds. “SMACK” the mashed potatoes hit Dad’s plate. That same wrist action used so effectively on the job is just as effective at home. “Just a little gravy for me, Mom,” says little Suzy. “FLOOD” goes the gravy “Perfect,” replies her daughter. Bob, her son asks for . Julienne Salad, but it’s Tuesday. “No dice kid,” comes the answer from Mom. “You’re all the same in this family.” He settles for the dinner steak, which Mom hands him with her plastic glove protected hand. Bob chuckles as he remembers the time the police nearly arrested his mother for possession of a concealed weapon. Mom had left the cover on the dinner steak box. The hungry family chooses a table in the rear of the dining room and heads towards the salad bar. It’s a miniature of the real ones used in cafeterias around the country. A sign is noticed by Suzy. “No union grown lettuce,” it reads. She’s not upset though'. She likes the shredded pictures of lettuce from newspapers and magazines Mom has so cleverly substituted in place of the real thing. The meal is enjoyed by all except Bob who casually deposits his dinner steak in the suggestion box. Mom grabs the mashed potato ladle and plays Flight of the Bumblebees on Bob’s face. Suzy giggles, Bob sobs. Mom wipes her forehad, and Dad farts from the vegetarian Garbonzo he chose that night for his dinner. Dad then says excuse me and Mom beats him senseless with Bob’s uneaten dinner steak. That Mom, what a card. She’s one in a million, independent and dedicated to her career in Food Service. Ladie& and gentlemen of the jury I shall now ask you some questions which you cannot overlook in making a decision on this case. Can the students match the skill of the full-time employees? Can these students work as efficiently as their counterparts? I ask you, just because a man kills someone does that make him a murderer1? If a woman has a baby does that make her a mother? If a man is a Rabbi does that mean he’s Jewish? You can’t fight my reasoning. On behalf of Mr. Bozek I rest my case. Steven Green �"IT'S FRIGHTENING THE WAV SOME OF THESE CONGRESSMEN WANT TO PRY INTO OUR AFFAIRS* Mutual recognition a must To the Editor. In response to my letter of October 22, the editor asks what I mean by “you.” My letter is addressed to the world and all of those in the world who seek to deny my people, the Jewish people, their unalienable right to national self-determination. Wahad Arabi states that Zionism is racist and denies the Palestinians their national self-determination. Zionism docs not deny this right to any known peoples of the world. Zionism recognizes this right of the Palestines. It is the Palestinians who do not recognize this same right of the Jewish people. The U.N. now decides who shall and who shall not have this unalienable right to be independent of foreign domination, subjegation and persecution. Certain nations within the U.N. seem to feel that they can decide who has more of a right to live. Certain Arab governments and the P.L.O. have specifically stated their desires to destroy Israel and with It, Jewish independence. They have demonstrated their anti-semitic as well as anti-Zionist feelings. The persecution of non-Zionist Jews in Syria is the perfect example of this. Not only are these Jews denied employment, education and freedom of movement, they are denied basic human rights such as the right to remain a whole human being, without being dismembered by secret police and the right of a Jewish woman to live without fear of an official government sanctioned rape. The obscene barbarism of the Syrian both officially and unofficially toward Syrian Jewry screams of human degradation at its lowest. When the official Arab world as a whole and the Palestinians in particular accept the fact that Jews as well as any other people have the right to rational self-determination, Israel will work towards the and only independence of the Palestinian people then. It is absurd for any thinking human being to expect a nation like Israel to put effort into another people’s independence when this other people states again and again their national priority to destroy this nation,- Israel. Peace for we Israelis and the Arabs is possible, but only when there is a mutual recognition and respect for our respective independence, cultures and ways of life. — Eliezer ben Israel '(215,820 LETTERS \\ 31 n qpgNgp I BLACK I I c JOSS _ —— TRB I / from Washington miwd DOSSIERS) ff TAPS w —; To the I'.Jitur. A common tear shared by the people with whom I have discussed the Middle I asl question has always been taking a stand that might be labeled as by I don't know what "anti Israeli.” and therefore "anti-Semitic." However. Kabbi Justin logic Hofmann's letter {The Sfieelrum. Oct. 22. I75> sheds light upon such fears. The question that begs asking when reading Kabhi Hofmann's letter is obviously this: why did these 70 nations vote anti-Zionist? Is it because “these Arabs" have huge amounts of oil and are able to use it to blackmail the countries of Ihe third world and the Communist bloc? But again, why do “these Arabs” consider Zionism as a lacisl ideology'.’ Has Rabbi Hofmann ever heard of an Israeli law called Ihe Law of Return, under which any person of Ihe Jewish faith from any -part of the world can become an Israeli citizen, while Ihe ,t() year Palestinian refugee is denied such a right'’ Moreover, Rabbi, Hofmann quotes ihe US delegate to the U.N. Social. Humanitarian and Cultural Committee as saying: ", the, United Nations is at the point ol officially endorsing anti-Semitism . . Such an, argument seems to be always given at the expense of the Palestinian It is common to see a person back out of his argument against an Israeli policy because he is afraid of people like Rabbi Hofmann who are eager to label anti-Semitic." Doesn't this remind us of him with McCarthyism, Communism replaced by anti-Semitism? Finally, Rabbi Hofmann leaves us with the following impression: Yasser Arafat came to the U.N. with a gun while the Zionists came to Palestine with doves and roses' Mirwan al-Taghlchi Successful salute To the Editor.

Grexlon Coordinator, Main Campus International Women's Year T*S — Question of logic “ ’) I •rrt^ Watergate isn’t over yet, Richard Nixon isn’t done with yet, the man who boasted about his wife’s “respectable. Republican cloth coat”- in 195 2 and bought her tapered baguette diamond earrings in 1972 (apparently from campaign funds) is still a problem for Jerry Ford who granted him a “full, free and absolute” pardon. Other men were indicted, he wasn’t; other men went on trial, he didn’t; other men went to jail; not Nixon. The dry-as-dust 277 page wind-up report on Watergate by the Special Prosecution Force under Henry Ruth reveals that Nixon would certainly have been indicted if he hadn’t been pardoned, September 8, a year ago. But now he is accepted in polite society, and his smiling face appears on the cover of Newsweek (October 20 "Nixon’s New Life”). He has cars and guards and nice estates, and can make a million any time he wants to sell interviews or books and some say he will try a political come-back. Nonsense. There are limits. But there is always a minority (say 20 percent) who think that any disgraced public man is badly treated, the Caligula quotient. All the same Nixon is a problem lor Cerald l ord and the more so for the questions that the final Watergate report leaves unanswered. Take, for example, the single episode of Bebe Rebozo. The report of the Senate Frvin Committee, July, 1974, devotes 376 pages to Rebozo. In a letter from Senators Frvin and Baker (R) Tenn., June 6 to Nixon’s counsel James St. dair they assert the existence of “apparent instructions from President Nixon to Mr. Charles (!. Rebozo to raise and maintain funds which, the evidence implies, were expanded on President Nixon’s behalf.” l or example, there were two bundles of 500 crisp serially numbered $100 bills from Howard Hughes; were they actually returned? Rebozo told Herbert Kalmbach, they note, that he gave part of the Hughes money to Nixon’s brothers. Again, when the $4562.38 earring money went to fashionable jeweler Harry Winston in New (apparently from the Florida “Nixon for President Committee” funds) why was the account laundered? The money went through a York “complex four-stage process” the Frvm committee reports, which “concealed the fact that the funds originated from contributions to the 1968 campaign and were ultimately used by Rebozo on behalf of President Nixon.” The hrvin committee ended and hopefully turned over its evidence to the Special Prosecution Force. Now the outgoing special prosecutor reports but it’s an anticlimax. Who obliterated the 18'/i minutes of Nixon-Haldeman tape? The guilty party could only have come from “a very small number of persons” says the report, but that’s all it found, “no prosecution was possible.” How about the Rebozo affair? This is outlined, too. Yes, in a presidential tape of April 17, 1973, it notes, Nixon offered to pay $200,000 to $300,000 for the legal fees of Haldeman and Ehrlichman “from funds to be provided by Rebozo.” But a formal charge? The report repeats monotonously that “evidence would not support an indictment.” Hard to get a stand-up case, perhaps, after the Nixon pardon. Outgoing prosecutor Ruth succeeded by Charles Ruff, primly refuses to speculate. Democracy can only be preserved by an informed public, he says, but he doesn’t inform it, save in some pious platitudes at the end and a quotation from Longfellow. He can’t deal in generalities, he says, so he leaves scores of critical matters up in the air. We wonder what outgoing and incoming prosecutors said to each other? Perhaps, Said Mr. Ruff to Mr. Ruth, “I only want to learn the truth.” Said Mr. Ruth to Mr. Ruff, “You’d better not be over-tough!” On CBS Face the Nation last week Mr. Ruth unbent to the point of criticizing President Ford: “I thought the timing of the pardon was atrocious,” he said. Yes, only a month after the resignation and Just when the Watergate trial was due to start. Even more extraordinary, he felt, the pardon was not conditioned “on an admission of any kind of guilt.” One tries to be fair. I won’t stamp on the pardoned president now he’s down. As for Mr. Ford, my judgment is that he gave the ill-timed pardon out of decency and compassion and a belief that he was helping the country to forget Watergate. Unfortunately it can’t. And in days ahead it is likely to remember the Ford-Nixon relationship. In his Congressional confirmation hearings as vice president House minority leader Ford testified on oath that he had not brought impeachment proceedings against Justice Douglas at the instigation of President Nixon just after the Senate rejected Nixon nominee Clement Haynsworth. Attorney General Mitchell fed Ford the anti-Douglas material from raw FBI files. Mayhe Mr. Ford didn’t take orders directly; maybe he just sensed what the White House wanted. It was minority leader Ford again who blocked the first Congressional attempt to investigate Watergate by Rep. Wright Patman. Still under oath, he told the committee that he did not act here, either at Richard Nixon’s bidding. Maybe not. But there is a Nixon-Haldeman-Dean tape of Sept. 15, 1972 where the three plot to block the Patman inquiry, using “Jerry” as a tool. “President: He’s got to get at this and screw this thing up while he can, right?” Or another quote, “President; Oh, I think Ehrlichman should talk to him (Ford) . . . and should say, ‘Now, God damn it, get the hell over with this . . . he’s got to know it comes from the top.” That’s what the tape says. And when he became Vice President Ford, he always defended his boss: “The weight of the evidence does not justify the President’s impeachment,” he declared just before the committee impeachment vote. Here are two final reasons why 1 think Watergate won’t die in the 1976 campaign. First, Nixon’s grand jury testimony, June 23-24, 1975, under oath, has been taken but is not made public. It may throw light on the Nixon-Ford relationship. Almost certainly Democrats will try to pry it loose. Second: President Nixon tapes of 1972 are still in the hands of White House legal advisor Philip Buchen. Congress says they’re the public’s; Nixon says they’re his. Again, a likely Watergate debate. The Ford-Nixon connection won’t be forgotten.

Page nine �Commentary UB KOREAN STYLE Jm Should gambling in college, professional sports be legal? by Paige Miller Assistant Sports Editor Should betting on collegiate and professional sporting events be legalized? And should some of the money earned this way be used to aid collegiate athletic programs, which have been sinking deeper and deeper into red ink? These are two of the topics which have been the subject of recent debate. . Several states are studytaig the Idea of legalized betting to try and pull in enough, money to balance their budgets. Nevada, and Montana to a leaser extent, already have legalized betting. Even some athletic directors, such as Donald B< Canham of the University of Michigan, have been considering gambling revenue as a source of funds, according to a story in Sunday’s New York Times. “But we’d have to be out of our minds to support it,” Canham said. It has been estimated that $50 billion is earned every year by illegal bookmakers, and that the government should somehow tap this lucrative business. Some of the money would then be returned to the teams involved while the rest would go to the state’s treasury. The dangers In this are easy t see. Betting scandals have shake: * the world of collegiate sports before, and if betting were to become widespread, the danger of such a scandal would grow. It is not hard to imagine an unscrupulous coach manipulating his team to guarantee that a bet he made against them will pay off. It i$ also not hard to imagine some players being paid to shave points especially since this has happened beTore. In fact, after every close contest, there would be cries of “Fix!” and demands that the players involved he investigated. Our law. enforcement agencies do not hate enough manpower to investigate every close game, or even a good portion of them. Probably, they’d wind up investigating none of them, opening the door to further • scandal, v The most popular form of illegal betting, and the form that probably would be instituted if it were legalized, is the parlay card. Bettors would have a choice of many games, and could pick three or more of them, wagering as much as they wanted. ‘There’s no reason this can’t be done legally in a harmless way,” said James Richhie, KARATE % executive director of the National Commission, in the Times article. “We haven’t found any evidence that multiple-game betting cards would be bad for the athletic community. They’re inherently harmless.” Gambling That, however, depends on your definition of harmless.

OTB has also taken who money from people otherwise never would have bet at all, but because it is legal they believe it ris alright. The government, therefore, is taking money out of the economy, and with today’s economic situation, that’s the worse thing to do. . - Money is also too tight for people to lose it in hopes of making a quick fortune. In reality, the odds of placing a winning bet are very small. Losing also becomes a vicious cycle; people lose so they keep betting to recoup their losses. But they continue to lose, and continue to bet. Many fortunes have been lost and many destroyed gambling. THIS ISTHE LAST WEEK TO SIGN UP BEFORE THE PRICE GOES UP! You snooze, you loose!

Conflicting evidence One wounded inmate was George Chagina Dobbins, IFA chairman. Although he was shot, Dobbins talked with other inmates while being carried out on a stretcher. Dobbins was later pronounced dead on arrival at Mobile General Hospital, and a report issued stated that he died of shotgun wounds. However, an autopsy revealed he died of nine ax-like wounds on the face. Inmates maintain that Dobbins was killed by the prison guard and sheriff that accompanied him in the ambulance. Last April, indicted IFA member Frank X. Moore was found hanging from sheets in his cell. Prison authorities claimed it was suicide, despite clear evidence of rope burns. The second incident took place at Holman prison on March 13, 1974. IFA member Tommy Yukeena Dotson was beaten to death by four guards while being led to the showers. Dotson was stabbed by a guard but was able to grab the knife and kill his assailant. Four inmates were subsequently indicted for allegedly passing the knife to Dotson, even though all four were locked in their cells during the beating.

Akil, an Attica inmate and National Director for Informatlon*and Propaganda of Attica Now, spoke of the parallels between the 1971 Attica prison uprising, and the Atmore-Holman incident. He claimed the same repression that is going on in the Erie County Courthouse against the Attica Brothers is taking place in Alabama. He also charged that it was “not only deplorable but disgusting” that nothing has been done about the deaths of George Jackson, Frank X. Moore, and George Dobbins. “Why does the state seek to bring indictments against prisoners who seek to change things?” asked Akil. What we can do Sixty indictments ranging from first-degree murder to rioting were brought against 45 inmates in relation to the incidents at both Alabama prisons. However, after one state trooper was indicted, all charges were dropped except those against the nine IFA members. Of the trials which started last February, most of which lasted only one or two days, four ended in convictions. One of the convicted inmates was given the death penalty. Three defendants pled guilty to assault charges, and two were found innocent. Throughout the meeting, speakers urged the support of students. “1 ask you after you leave here to take seriously the thought of the Atmore-Holman Brothers because whatever happens to them happens Sources of antagonism The negative attitude of the Alabama prison to us,” one speaker said.

Boyer also announced an enrollment freeze for 20 of the .14 State-operated schools, but this does not affect any of the SUNY centers. The freeze will set back completion ot the Amherst campus another year by delaying work and several projects which would have been started this year. The $24 million which was frozen in was frozen.

There are presently about 50 nuclear plants operating in this country. For the first half of 1975, they generated 8.3 percent of the nation’s electricity at a cost savings of $670 million over conventional coal and oil plants, according to the Atomic Industrial Forum (AIF). This represents a fossil fuel savings of 115 million barrels of oil or 25 million tons of coal. But the AIF is an admittedly pro-nuclear group. Many opponents of nuclear energy question these figures as well as the whole issue of nuclear power. Steven Margolis of the Engineering Department at this University believes nuclear energy is the only practical alternative. “Coal is filthy, it pollutes the air and its mining has a tremendous impact on the environment,” he explained. Water power insufficient Water power, he said, is almost completely utilized, and there are very few sites left. “Even if we literally turned off Niagara Falls, and diverted all the water into the power plant, it would only double its output of electricity,” said Margolis. “It would only be equal to the power produced by four nuclear plants,” he pointed out. Tidal power comes at the wrong time of day, is only located in a few places and isn’t there when needed, he said. Margolis admitted that solar power is an “interesting source” which will play a. role in ways which- can’t be predicted now. He speculated that solar energy will be used to conserve natural gas in heating. However, he explained that as an alternative to nuclear power, solar energy is too unreliable and too dilute. “A nuclear / the State University College at ($9,7 million), and the Stony Brook Health Sciences Center ($9 million).

Plans are to build nuclear plants east of Rochester, particularly near Oswego, Margolis said.

Geothermal energy is more polluting than any other kind, he said, because it spews a whole variety of harmful chemicals into the air. “That leaves nuclear energy as the only alternative,” Margolis stated. Oswego plant Fewer shoppers The freeze will have no direct affect on the planned commerical development on the Amherst Campus. However, John Latona, President of the UBF Corporation (formed to facilitate the commercial development) said one indirect consequence of the freeze may be that fewer people will be using the Amherst campus than originally expected, and, therefore, fewer people will be available to shop at the stores that are planned. This would increase the risk for any store which plans to lease space at Amherst, he said. and this is to a “Another possibility is that certain extent happening already as the price Of public bonds go up, they dry up sources of investment,” Latona pointed out several weeks ago. He explained that as the government goes into debt and its bonds carry higher and higher interest rates, businesses are less inclined to invest in such development and may be tempted to purchase government bonds instead. Last week. City University of New York Chancellor Robert Kibbee announced retrenchment procedures that would cut CUNY's total program by 20 percent, but would save open admissions and the SEEK program. Some observers believe the SUNY construction moratorium and enrollment A ' crisis Waste disposal problem Margolis worked on Navy reactors tor 10 years and as a result, he “became convinced that these power plants can be very precisely and easily controlled and to a large extent, self-controlled." Margolis feels that most of the anti-nuclear forces concentrate on waste disposal which he admits is a problem but “more a management than a technical one.” He said that now, only about 1 percent of the cost of nuclear energy goes to waste disposal or just finding some place to store it. “If we were to spend a nickel instead of a penny out of every dollar we could find a solution,” he said. He feels we should develop a short term recoverable system to store the waste for about 100 years. By then, he said, a more permanent solution could be worked out, such as outer space disposal. The country’s energy needs will double in the next 10 to 15 years and Margolis expects half of the new power plants to be nuclear. Probably 100 new nuclear plants will be built in that time span. Margolis said. and people York business bankers, fell default by New York was imminent, and that New York State would October. “But in the past years, there has more difficulty for everybody, irrespective of how good a risk they are. SUNY bonds are backed by tuition monies, until recently considered a very stable source of income. This year, however, because of uncertainty over New York City and State finances, it is feared that Governor Hugh Carey may take emergency steps and divert tuition monies toward financing other areas of SUNY. been /v r V • 'i y ■ Af ■ 351 A A* Y\ y^ri ft * / ; u /yfe !■ r* X V % agrees that we have no choice but to go nuclear. “At the present rate of consumption, oil will last 30 to 35 years, and coal 300 years. But coal is a very precious source of petro chemicals for medicine and industry and shouldn’t be wasted. Uranium with the breeder reactor will last a few centuries," he said. Solar energy, he feels, can be used as a supplemental source but not as the sole source of energy. Nuclear power plants are necessary for the survival of civilization unless we cut population growth, he said. Chon said that coal burning spreads pollution and wastes. We have the technology to contain and isolate nuclear waste, he noted. “Nobody has been hurt by commercial power plant operation. It is very safe, much safer than chemical energy which has fatalities every year. We haven’t lost a single life or even had a i single serious accident in the last 25 years, Chon said who has been Lennett, David researching nuclear energy for over a year and a half along with several other students, is staunchly opposed to the development of nuclear power. The development of nuclear energy “is a waste of lime, effort, technology and money,” he contends. The nuclear process, he explained, produces all kinds of harmful wastes, including plutonium which is an extremely toxic substance and which remains toxic for half a million years. Very small amounts can cause cancer and it would be easy to make a bomb out of the plutonium once it was isolated. Lennett said. Lennett also explained that spent fuel has to be transported from the reactor to reprocessing plants. He said there is always the danger of an accident which might unleash the harmful wastes onto the ’ -continued on page 4 Monday, 27 October 1975 . The Spectrum .

The emergency cooling system needed to keep the reactor from turning into a ball of molten metal and releasing radiation has never been tested on a large scale. When it was tested on a small scale it failed six times, Lennett said. Near hits He cited several near disasters of nuclear plants. “Two TVA reactors burned when they were checking for an air leak with a candle.” The fire, he added, shut down most of the safety systems. In addition, the dty of Detroit was almost destroyed when the safety system on a reactor failed there, he said. “Just because there has never been a nuclear accident doesn’t mean they’re safe —continued Panthers was recently founded by Paul Haneman. Although a fairly new organization, it has already had a positive effect on senior citizens in the city. Present projects include a position paper on the Equal Rights Amendment, endorsements of certain political candidates, depending on their positions toward the aged. Determining needs also Panthers have The the in distributed leaflets downtown Buffalo area, intended to acquaint the people with the group, as well as a 10-point Bill of Rights for Senior Citizens. A Speakers Bureau was appointed to acquaint the public with the Panther’s philosophy on radio, university in television and classrooms. The Buffalo chapter has no president. All members participate on an equal basis. Gloria Beutner, a member of the Panthers who is presently teaching d class on aging through the American Studies Department at this University, explained that the group’s prime concern is to determine the specific needs of the community. A study on presently is transportation underway because, as Beutner said, “Getting around the city is hard enough for the able, not only the aged or handicapped.” The nationwide organization meanwhile is working toward such goals as a guaranteed income, radical tax reform, guaranteed employment opportunities and a national program of housing. Less concerned with the aged, but of primary concern to the unconditional Panthers, is for all resisters and amnesty deserters of the Vietnam War. The group is also trying to get the government to redistribute money poured into the military towards the country’s citizens in need “We’re a new organization,” said Beutner, “with everyone doing their own thing for one common goal. We’re trying to see where to go, and looking for interested people to help.” The Panthers meet at the Central Park Baptist Church, between Parker and Beard. The next meeting is November 12 at 1:30 p.m. from page just lucky,” said Lennett. However, his biggest argument is that he feels they are just uneconomical.

Mining wastes, until now just piled, might be a hazard and would have to be buried.

Petitions for union Cut-backs in funds for education, unfulfilled affirmative action programs, and rising costs of living moved employed graduate studchts to begin a union organizing drive a year and a half ago. Last semester, petitions signed by 490 state-funded graduate students at this University were submitted to the Public Employees Relations Board (PERB), requesting that an official campus election be held to determine whether the majority of employed grad students want to be represented by the GSEU for purposes of bargaining with their employer over wages, working conditions and benefits. The SUNY Central Administration submitted an affidavit to PERB arguing that Teaching Assistants and Graduate Assistants have no employee.status, and thus are not entitled to bargain collectively for a work contract. Election needed The GSEU is preparing its own affidavit to describe the work requirements that state-funded graduate students must fulfill to receive their pay. thus arguing that these students arc employees and are entitled to bargain over working conditions. If PERB accepts the GSEU's arguments, an official election will be held on campus for the approximately 950 state-funded graduate students. They will be able to vote for or against the GSEU (or any other union that fulfills the petition requirements), as the legally recognized bargaining unit. A vote of 50 percent plus one is required for legal status, and if this is reached, the union will begin preparations to negotiate a contract with the University.

TOPIC: -CAREER CHOICE HOW AND - □ATE: Tuesday, Oct. 28th — TIME: 7:30p.m. PLACE: M.F.A.C. Refreshments Will Be Served New food stam s proposal food stamp President Ford’s proposed legislation, if passed by Congress, will probably not have any direct effect on the eligibility of students to receive food stamps. The Ford proposal would deny food stamps to a family of four whose income exceeds $6250 a year, if all of its members are under 60 years of age. The family would be allowed to earn $6550 a year and still receive food stamps if one of its members was 60 years old or over. This income level is based on the government’s official poverty level which is $5050 a year. The administration proposal allows $100 a month for expenses, plus another $25 a month if there is a senior citizen in the home. Recipients would be required to spend 30 percent of their income for the food stamps, after making the $100 monthly deduction. In presenting the proposal to the Senate, Secretary of Agriculture Earl L. Butz claimed it would save the government $1.2 billion a year. In August, approximately 18.8 million people were receiving food stamps at an annual cost of $5.2 billion. Butz' benchmark “We believe the poverty line is an appropriate benchmark for eligibility because it has been developed and used to denote that segment of the population whose income is not enough to provide an adequate standard of living,” But/ said. The Ccnsus'Bureau estimates that 12 percent of those currently receiving food stamps have gross incomes which exceed $6000. Students who are claimed as tax deductions by their parents may be eligible for the stamps only if their parents are eligible. The eligibility of those students who arc financially independent will be determined on the basis of their income and expenses. Tuition costs, grants-in-aid, and loans are considered in the evaluation. The maximum net income allowed for a family of one by the Food Stamp Office is $215 a month. Students are not treated any differently than other applicants for food stamps, although several years ago they were. The fact that a student’s parents are not receiving food stamps does not mean that he or she cannot get them. If a family meet the requirements, a student may receive food stamps even if the parents elect not to take them. Weekend dental clinic opens J with low cost qualify dental care I by Charles Greenberg S/miniin Slajt Writer L.ast weekend marked the opening of a Saturday morning dental clinic for students. The project is co-sponsored' by the School of Dentistry and Sub-Board s Health Care Division. The New program will- run 23 weeks, and is an extension of the regular weekday clinic operated by the Dental School. Gerard Wiec/.kowski, assistant professor of Operative Dentistry, explained that the clinic will be staffed by advanced dental students, under the supervision of faculty members from the school. The dental students who will be involved “feel a sense of obligation to their fellow students,” according to W.N. Fagans, Dean of the School of Dentistry. The students are donating their own time, Fagans said. Student patients wishing to use the Saturday clinic are examined during the week to determine what treatments will be necessary. Special problems, such as periodontal work, will not be treated on Saturday, since the objective of the program is to handle only “routine dental work.” One of 30 The project was developed two years ago, said George Ferguson, chairman of the Operative Dentistry Department. The Urban Center and the Educational'Opportunity Program (EOP) urged the dental students to recognize their “social responsibility,” and volunteer for the program. There is currently a “large pool of students who are unavailable for dental treatment during the week, Fagans explained, necessitating the weekend clinic. There has been a preventative and diagnostic dental center operated by the University as part of the Student Health Care Program for the past nine years. However, the center provided only limited care, which in most cases consisted of simple cleaning of the patient’s teeth. But Ferguson said there are only about 30 such programs on college campuses throughout the country, and that the center here is one of the most sophisticated. A1 Campagna, director of the Health Care Division, said dental care was an area untouched by the student health program until last year, and that Sub-Board was exploring the possibilities of aiding students with their dental needs even then. Survey Last April, Campagna and Charles Gavarick, associate professor in the Department of Behavioral and Related Sciences, headed a survey on student attitudes toward dental health. Their findings indicated a “very positive” desire for preventative services on campus, Campagna said. The Health Care Division approached Ferguson to see if the Dental School was interested, whereupon the school formulated the proposal for the Saturday morning clinic. The Health Care Division will provide the funds for the project on a trial basis until the end of the current academic year, at which time an evaluation of the program will be presented by the Dental School staff. The evaluation will form the basis for the program’s future. “We are not trying to capture these patients, and we are not trying to comer the student market. All of these patients have the option to seek desired care elsewhere. What we are trying to do is aid a particular segment of the University population,” Fagans stressed. Monday, 27 October 1975 The Spectrum . Paqe five �Editorial An end in sight? The State University (SUNY) Board of Trustees, in its decision to freeze construction funds on many of the state-operated campuses, is taking a conservative, "wait and see" stance. Although New York City's poor financial state has put a damper on the sale of state construction bonds. SUNY still has $60 million in reserve above and beyond the tuition monies needed to back the sale of its bonds. What this means is that the money is there to continue progress on the Amherst campus as scheduled. However, the Trustees appear to be holding back to see if the bond market improves. One result of the construction moratorium is that the signing of any contracts for new projects will be delayed for up to a year. Actions like these, which have continually set back the development in Amherst, are apparently costing the state taxpayers more money in the long run. In this period of ever rising prices, the longer SUNY stalls, the more expensive the Amherst facilities become and the greater the danger that they will be scaled down so much that they will *1 not adequately meet the needs of a University this size. We have seen this happen a number of times, most recently with the SUNY Construction Fund's ongoing cutbacks in the proposed Amherst gym. Despite any steps it has taken thusfar, SUNY has reaffirmed its commitment to complete the Amherst campus. It goes without saying that considering the millions of dollars already invested, this extensive construction project remains the State University's number one priority Yet the longer SUNY puts off signing contracts, the steeper those contract costs become. We say let's make SUNY realize its commitment and get the Amherst campus finished Editor’s Note: In a September 24, 1975 meeting between Women’s Studies College (WSC) and the administration, President Robert Ketter stated that the WSC charter would be completed upon the inclusion of a statement of WSC’s policy of non-discrimination. On October 15, ■WSC submitted its charter with the following statement, "Women’s Studies College is a of program committed to a policy non-discrimination. WSC does not unlawfully discriminate on the grounds of race, color, creed, sex or national origins." The following is a letter from Acting Academic Affairs Vice President Robert Fisk and Executive Vice President Albert Somit in response to WSC’s revised charter, as well as WSC’s position on Fisk and Somit’s letter of October 22, 1975. In considering the charter revision recently submitted by WSC, we have necessarily been mindful of two points: 1) the practice of WSC in offering courses which exclude students on the ha<jg of sex; and 2) the implicit claim by the College that it has the authority to decide for itself whether its admissions practices conform with University policy. In view of these two points, it our judgment that the revised charter, which contains the qualifying statement that WSC will not practice “unlawful” discrimination, creates an unacceptably ambiguity regarding the willingness of the College to adhere to the educational policy a policy which is of this University non-exclusionary on the basis of sex, race, color, creed or national origin. In fact, given the above-mentioned ambiguity, approval of the charter, as presently revised, could be construed to mean that this administration condones such the exclusionary practices and/or accepts College’s claim to determine for itself the validity of those practices. For these reasons, the charter is not accepted as revised. We very much hope that the College will submit a revised charter which can be approved. As indicated previously, this can be readily accomplished by.an unqualified statement similar to that displayed at the beginning of all i.e., “No person, in University bulletins whatever relationship with WSC of SUNYAB, shall be subject to discrimination on the grounds of race, color, creed, sex or national origin.” This declaration will require that exclusionary course descriptions and practices be altered to conform to the announced University policy. If any courses offered by WSC are available for second semester registration, an acceptable charter must be submitted to President Ketter by no later than Friday, October 31, 1975. If this is not done, WSC courses will be withdrawn from the registration files, and financial support for the College will be terminated at the close of the • — - present semester. We feel* that the request being made of the College is entirely reasonable and reiterate our hope that the College will submit a revised charter which can be accepted. In its justifications for rejecting Women’s charter, College’s revised the Studies administration continues its practice of bad faith towards WSC. The administration lays out new rules, invokes another arbitrary deadline, and threatens the withdrawal of financial support to To the Editor.

In August of 1975, the administration imposed a deadline of January 1, 1976 for the termination of WSC’s five all-women's classes, and a deadline of October 15, 1975 for the revision of its charter. On October 22, 1975, the co-ordinators received a memorandum rejecting the revised charter and imposed a new deadline of October 31 for the revision of the charter. This deadline is totally arbitrary as it has no bearing on registration (registration begins much later). The unwarranted harassment of WSC is by the administration’s continued confusion of the issues of the charter and the selective use of all-women’s classes. When the administration raised the issue of all-women’s classes, it formerly claimed that these classes were in violation of Title IX. It has now shifted its position, and is basing its arguments .on an alleged "University policy” of “non-exclusion.” (The issue of all-women’s classes is not one of exclusion, but one of discrimination. The University does in fact maintain a policy and practice of exclusion through the existence of specific majors and prerequisites for admittance to, certain courses. Therefore, the issue of all-women’s courses must be viewed as one of discrimination. WSC maintains that the selective usage of all-women’s classes is justifiable Affirmative Action to redress the effects of past discrimination against women.) Before October 22, the administration was concerned with Title IX rules and regulations. Now it has notably dropped all reference to anti-discrimination legislation and substitute “University policy.” WSC’s anti-discrimination statement is in contradiction to neither Title IX, nor “University policy.” Further, there is no unacceptable ambiguity in the word “unlawful.” The University’s objection to this word is an untenable justification for its rejection of the charter. Women’s Studies maintains it has met the administration’s conditions for the charter by including a statement affirming WSC’s policy of non-discrimination. In its charges of October 22, the administration continues to ignore the history of both our charter and all-women’s classes. Women’s Studies has never claimed -to determine for itself the validity of the selective use of all-women’s classes. Historically, this charge can be proven false. During chartering, the question was whether WSC’s all women classes conformed to the “educational, policy of this University.” WSC did not decide this by itself. We argued our position publicly with the administration, marshalled student support and finally, President Ketter in his January 3, 1975, approved the selective use of all-women’s classes. The administration now moves to an even more insubstantial position and attempts to fortify it with distortion. WSC maintains its right to the selective use of all-women’s classes. We negotiated, and won their approval. The selective use of all-women’s is in complete accord with classes anti-discrimination legislation. In view of the administration’s new deadline and altered position, WSC is calling for a meeting between its lawyers and President Ketter to once again clarify the issues and remove an arbitrary deadline. WSC would remind people to bring in their petitions in preparation foe its November 5 demonstrated again rally. Not only doctors in mind once and for all . Women's Studies College. . . .

In previous years, when the club called itself the Undergraduate Medical Society (UMS), there was such an attitude. The name of the organization was changed in order to give the other health professions equal billing. Whereas it is true that most of our members are seeking admission to medical school, the club exists to enlighten people about all health professional fields. We present these fields not as alternatives “for those students who cannot meet the stringent admission standards for medical school” but as other professions which the student can carefully and critically review before deciding on a particular career choice. Many people who enter college are because medicine is the most commonly known health profession. These people often go through college blindly wanting to become MD’s when in fact they may prefer becoming optometrists or podiatrists instead, providing they have a knowledge of what these fields involve. Providing this knowledge is the rntyor purpose of the club. Regarding the two paragraphs on what the AM A said with respect to" the percentages of “A” and “C” students recently accepted into medical school, 1 don’t know where you got those statistics but, right or wrong, they were presented misleadingly. It is becoming more and more difficult each year to get into medical school, and while an absolute GPA for admissions cannot be given, it should be realized that students who are considered competitive usually have at least a 3.5 or better overall CUM and a similar CUM in the sciences. It is true that it is sometimes easier to get into the other health professional schools than it is to get into medical school, but here too it should be realized that the grade point averages necessary to be considered competitive are also on the rise as each year goes by. In that applying to a health professional school is an expensive proposition, I would tell “C” students to look realistically at their chance before applying, for in all likelihood, they will not gain admission to a health professional school. Finally, a comment on the reporting of this I was said to have given the above article. Whereas AMA statistics, 1 in fact never said a word about them. I don’t know where the reporter got his facts, but I feel he was totally unjustified in presenting them as quotes from me when they were not. I hope, with regard to this matter, that you exercise more care in the future and not stick words in people’s mouths. Jejfi.evv President of APII OS �Save the Guest Opinion wildlife To the Editor.

And this stockpile is always pood for poisoning democracy“ by Ronald Eskin I believe that President Robert Ketter’s callous message (Reporter Sept. 11) to the University earlier this year, coupled with his administration's harassment of the Women’s Studies College, has once again called our attention to the really crucial problems which riddle this University. In both instances, his singlemindedness has effectively displayed the man’s lack of creativity and precision. The present administration has, by its performance, proven itself to be incapable of performing the duties necessary to promote the wholesome development of a large, urban university. Aside from the political differences which happily separate me from Ketter, I register my objection to him purely on the grounds of his narrow and intolerant spirit. It is apparent to me that his objections to the colleges were clearly basic to his fundamental assumptions of education. In his statement of September II, he described the educational process as a series of knowledge transmissions. In Ketter’s mind, the educated person is the one who has had his fact innoculations: the encyclopedic mind. His utter insensitivity to the personal development of human beings was further demonstrated by his reproach of “general education” which attempts to develop the whole person. The courses which he proposes would be the ones in which fact clusters, not necessarily involving significant facts, are conveyed. His assumption that the only true subject for education is testable knowledge is almost pitifully sophomoric. If such were the case, then college is no more than four more years of high school. Nowhere does he attempt to define how education should go about affecting people. They are not affected, in Ketter’s imaginary black box, they are processed. The net gains which are produced by school are those which result in the increasing accumulation of knowledge. Like any good processer, the President feejs obliged only to believe in those changes which are in some way apparent to him: reproducable tests. , On the Women’s Studies College issue, the entire administration has sought to hide its antipathy to that institution behind a legislative enactment. Though 1 profess no expertise in the legal matters, I defer to the authority of Professor Grace Blumberg, the law school’s expert in the area of sex discrimination. She concluded in one issue of The Spectrum that the enactment didn't necessarily prohibit the type of classes that the administration claimed it did. How can one help but infer that Ketter’s eager t «> p use of the law was motivated to a large part by his well-publicized distaste for the colleges? Not only is Ketter intolerant, but, due to the twisted structure of this University, he is practically omnipotent as well. He refers to the period of student involvement as one of self flagellation on the part of universities. This University is structured so that there is no student input that binds. Ketter. The suspended students who were involved in Hayes Hall can attest to that. Even more shocking, there is no faculty body'which has power to supersede the President’s decisions. ’Die flaws in such a structure would never have become evident had there not been such an abusive and offensive navigator at its helm. This letter does not grow out of trenchant dislike for administrators as a group. To the contrary, I wish to point to comparable institutions like the University of Michigan and the University of Pittsburgh. In those places the faculty and students comfortably share power with the administration. Faculty councils make policy and often contain 30 percent student representation on them. I have personally had extensive experience with administrators at the University of Pittsburgh on many levels of policy,' and found them to be as receptive to student input as Ketter is resistant to it. They were far more flexible, creative in their programs and progressive in their views toward education than is our President. The really key difference between the other institutions and this one is that in those places they maintain a degree of respect for student intellectual competence. Here, we are dismissed as children whose needs are best tended by a paternal authority (e.g. Drs. Lorenzetti and Ziggelkow’s performance in the Haas Lounge last Aprik there they discussed why they would not allow the S.A. vote money to send buses to the Attica rally in Albany). this broad range of issues, Along documented by the statements and actions of the Ketter administration, ,1 am compelled to conclude that the University’s need for administrative talent is inadequately satisfied by those who possess that authority now. We have tolerated mediocrity far too long already. However, the crux of the problem here transcend’s Ketter’s inadequacies. He typifies the dangers incumbent in concentrating authority in any administration. Administrators should only administer. The faculty and students must make policy as they do at other schools. Let me suggest to the faculty that this is the time to organize themselves, and to resist the intimidation which no doubt will follow such organization. Send it back something else To the h'ditor. During this period of intense debate over the caliber of the Food Service programs, I wish to relate an incident which happened to me this past Thursday (Oclober 23). The menu at (loodyear that day included pizza. I committed the error of choosing this “atrocity of the palate.” This so-called pizza would have made a dog's stomach turn. In total disgust, I took the pizza and proceeded back to the cafeteria counter where I returned the uneaten portion. I stated that the pizza wasn't fit for human consumption and demanded Constant complaining about the food is not going to get a point across. The best way to let the one feels about his or her meal is by returning it when it is not liked. We are paying good money for this service, and we have the right to object to a meal when it is unsatisfactory. If this incident ever occurred in a restaurant, I’m sure that any same individual would refuse the meal. The same attitude should be applied to our present situation at this University.

The tournament’s scoring system awarded one point to each team for each individual match won, but when Buffalo, Buffalo State and Canisius wound up with seven points each (Niagara had six), the total number of games won was used as a tiebreaker. That method proved that the competition was very close. State had won 84 games, Buffalo 83 and Canisius 81. — Correction Wednesday s The Buffalo soccer coach Sal Esposito was incorrectly quoted in ball, giving the the Spectrum as saying, “Our guys were playing the man’s feet instead of said was that the impression that Buffalo was being unduly rough. What Esposito actually Buffalo’s players. Genesee players were playing their opponent’s feet thereby tripping up Season’s worst effort Loss for women’s volleyball Kulp started the Bulls off in the second game - Comeback falls short The outcome of the match was not known until the final point had been played. Buffalo’s second singles player Irene Van Dyke, was matched against the Bengals Janice Warren. Van Dyke trailed 6-2 at one point, but came back to make the score 6—5. Unknown to the two players, they would, in effect, decide the championship. With their teammates cheering them on, the crucial twelfth game went to deuce about 10 times, before Warren eked out the win. The remaining two games were split, to give Warren and Buffalo State the championship The Bengals also needed one other last round victory to propel them to the championship. Their first doubles team of Helen Findlay April and Kathy Meany outplayed Buffalo’s duo of Mary Jo Scire and Zolezer. Scire had sprained her left ankle last weekend at the New York State Championships and was limping visibly throughout the match. “1 was aware of it,” she said. “It limited my mobility at the net, but there’s no excuse on account of the ankle. Instead, Scire blamed unforced errors by her and her partner for the loss. “If our first doubles team had won,” said Buffalo coach Betty Dimmick, “we would have won. But you can’t blame it on one match. We had chances to win all down the line.” Loss of DeFalco felt According to Dimmick, the Bulls were also hurting because of the absence of their top player, Diane DeFalso. “Diane was in a slump and decided to take herself out of the lineup,” Dimmick explained. That was on October 11, when the tournament began. Then rain came after just a few games were played, and the remainder of the match was rescheduled for last Wednesday. Unfortunately for Buffalo, by the time the match resumed, DeFalco had ended her slump with a good performance at the New York State Championships, but since the lineups had been set, DeFalco could not play. Elaine Tubinis moved up to the number one spot and contributed 8-1 and 8-2 victories, but what Buffalo gained at the top was offset by their loss in depth Overall, Dimmick was happy with her team’s performance. The Bulls have only two girls back from last year’s team, and they figure to improve. “It was a good experience for them,” Dimmick observed. “I think they’re learning.” by Joy Clark In their worse effort this season, the volleyball Bulls were defeated by Oswego, three games in a row, in the best three out of five match. The loss was Buffalo’s first after seven wins. All the games followed the same pattern. Buffalo started strong and then stalled later in the game. “Every time we’d get going, we’d stop,” said senior Joanne Wroblewski. “We couldn’t win the last four points.” Buffalo played well in the first game and was leading 9-3 when Oswego scored two points and Buffalo fell apart. Because the game was longer than average, coach Peter Weinreich used up his allotted could no longer platoon number of his key player. Shelly Kulp, who because ofher short height, hasn’t played at the net all year, was forced to play that position during the crucial last two minutes of the game. The defense also suffered from apparent confusion as to where each player should be. Oswego held the Bulls scoreless in the last seven serves and scored five points in the last 40 seconds to win the game.

Buffalo opened the third game by winning eleven quick points, including six brilliantly served by Wroblcwski, before their serving and defense failed them entirely. Oswego then tallied twelve points in a row to win the shortest game of the night, and take the match. “We lost it on serves,” said Weinrcich.

He said he would have felt comfortable with about six serving errors in three games. He also commented that Oswego is the first strong team Buffalo has played this year. “They’re the first team we’ve played with consistent hitting and good blocking,” Wcinreich said. Wroblewski didn’t feel as though she was outplayed. “They weren’t better than us,” she stated. “Maybe we outplayed ourselves.” Junior Marilyn Dellwardt added, “They always played as a team.

An ETS study revealed that there is a direct, continuous family correlation between income and SAT scores. High school seniors from the upper class have higher median board scores than seniors from middle income families, who in turn, have higher median scores than those from lower income families. “The correlation is consistent for seven categories of family income,” asserted Brill. Further studies of statistics show that Northeastern students score the highest on the tests, Southern students score the lowest, males do better than females on the math section of the SAT, and whites have higher median scores than non-whites. Although the ETS would not reveal the exact figures, Brill was able to find a study that showed a Banesh Hoffman, a professor at Queens College, is one such critic. “Our misplaced confidence in mass testing can have dangerous consequences, not only to the quality of our education, but to the psychological strength and vitality of the nation.” Hoffman insists that exams do not really measure what they claim to be testing. Rather, they test one’s ability to “fathom what is in the mind of the examiner.” are worded “Questions ambiguously,” adds Professor Lawrence Plotkin of the City University of New York. “They are geared to penalize the profound thinker. God help the kid who stops to muse over a question, or who sees a subtlety.” Hoffman cited one illustration of a question which caught an knowledgeable exceptionally student in a particular high school. The question reads as follows: Find the misspelled word. (I) cartons (2) altogether (3) possibilities (4) intensionally (5) none wrong. According to the answer key, the best answer is No. 4. However, it is not the correct answer. The a is “intensionally” word frequently used term in Logic and Semantics. Most of the students in this high school, who were enrolled in a special senior Semantics course, were familiar with the word “intensionally,” and chose No. 5 as their response. The few members of the class that did select No. 4 guessed correctly that the author had never heard Of Hoffman “intensionally.” concluded that this question is a perfect example that a high test score may be determined by intuition, rather than actual knowledge. • take the tests.” Yourman said that if ETS doesn’t admit to this, it is only because it, is a business. “They [ETS officials] have high paying jobs and they want to keep them.” ' Scores meaningless “Even the ETS admits that aptitude and achievement cannot be pleasured in terms nearly as specific as the score recorded,” Brill wrote. If, for example, you get a score of 600 on the SAT, there is a two in three chance that ypur “true” ,scpr«„ eliminating luck; arid: guessirtgv is somewhere between 570 and 630. ■ William Angoff. ETS Executive Director of College Boards, said there is also a ope ip six chance that a student who scores 700 one day, could score substantially - gap of 133 points (33 percent) between the median scores of black and white males on the Law Board scores. Test experts criticize the ETS, saying, “the tests look for values and acquired skills consistent with the mainstream of American upper and upper middle classes, and nqt for aptitude on inborn abilities.” Plotkin actually accuses the ETS of operating tests which discriminate against blacks, poor people, Chicanos and other minorities.

As Solomon puts it, “Our tests predict how a student will do what his grades However, Solomon be.” will a student is “If admits, that educationally deprived, means his grades won’t be as high when he gets to law school or college. Our tests only reflect no that. We are making discrimination on purpose.” President William ETS - Turnbull defends ETS; “Criticizing us on that basis is like criticizing the Toledo Scale Company because some people are fat." ETS has reacted to charges of cultural bias since 1970 by including “minority oriented” the in reading passages comprehension sections of the SAT. Although there has been extensive criticism of the SAT’s, many admissions officials and historians still believe in them. “Many selective colleges believe strongly in the validity of SAT scores, as a gauge or common standard,” asserted Ravitch. Most admissions officials today, according to Ravitch, agree that there are limitations to SAT scores. A survey of admissions officials across the nation indicate that many institutions have devised their own predictive validity index, in which SAT scores, grade point averages, and personal qualities, along with the quality of the high school are combined. In program, addition, Ravitch said, “the civil rights movement and the student upheavals of the 1960’s have caused colleges to seek more diversified student bodies. “Admission officials have used SAT scores to work for the student applicant, rather than against him,” claims Cliff Sjogren, Director of Admissions at the University of Michigan. “Low are as interpreted scores ambiguous, possibly the result of illness, low income background, or whatever. Most college officials seem to be taking scores less seriously, although they still of a standard provide measurement for students from school backgrounds of high qualities.” Sjogren varying believes that the SAT’s offer students from remote or inferior high schools a chance to qualify for selective schools. Fred Hargadon, Dean of Admissions at Stanford University, points out in defense of the SAT that if the college boards were abolished, “selective colleges would go right back to picking their students from the top private and public schools, simply because they are familiar curriculum and with the background of these schools. The use of tests puts students from non-affluent high schools into the candidate pool, from which they were previously excluded.” Ravitch also believes that tests prove specially helpful in cases . —continued on page 2— �Amherst land Correction In Wednesday’s issue of The Spectrum, it was incorrectly reported that a carnival, sponsored by College H to benefit die United Way, would be held Hi unday, October 23.

The American Academy of Arts and Letters cited her as a creative writer in 1946, and she was awarded Guggenheim Fellowships in 1946 and 1947 for creative writing. In 1950 she became the first black woman writer to receive a Pulitzer Prize. In 1968 Brooks succeeded the late Carl Sandburg as Poet Laureate of Illinois. Currently she teaches poetry workshops in the Chicago area and manages The Black Position, a poetry magazine. Her writings include many volumes of poetry, an autobiography, a novel, and a volume of poetry for children (Aloneness). Among her most recent work: Family Pictures (1970) and Beckonings (1975). the Conference Theater Monday night. In an hour’s time the deft and lively poet dispelled the shadow altogether. Plain, new and real She wondered outloud if Carl Sandburg, her predessessor as Illinois’ Poet Laureate, wasn’t perhaps “whirling a few times wherever it was he went” at the sight of the poet to follow him in that honor (this tiny, soft-spoken black lady). After reading a few of Sandburg’s tentative definitions of poetry (he devised 38), Brooks maintained she had only one; “Poetry is life distilled.” To prove it, she went on to read eighteen poems of varying length, but all characterized by sharply focused imagery from everyday life and by words and rhythms of words from everyday life. It was not complex or difficult poetry, it was not obscure, it was not shuttingly private, it was plain, new and real. But at the sametime Brooks insisted on real language and real places, she argued for the survival of artistic sentiment: Does man love art? Man visits art. to stay at hofne The nice beer ready. And it is easier Tavern readings In her latest volume of poems, Beckonings (1975), Brooks (she says) makes a “new attempt” to make poetry attractive to people who either think it’s all bunk, or who respect it and ignore it. This new attempt, as the poems within honors illustrate, Be ckonings familiar diction and acts upon the There was even an abortion poem.

It is sung by a black woman whose man is being lynched by a White mob for “raping” a white woman (who actually encouraged his favors). The man “couldn’t abide dark meat” and “grew up with bright skins on the brain.” You got what you wanted for dinner But brother you paid the bill. You had it coming surety You had it coming surely , First black woman to win a Pulitzer Prize On being banned According to Brooks, there was “consternation” at Harpers when she first tried to get this published (though it finally was) only the first of a number of minor controversies. Currently “We Real Cool” is banned in one Nebraska - SUNY construction, enrollment frozen “jazz” was (because interpreted as a sexual term) and a county nice little poem, ‘The Preacher Ruminates Behind the Sermon,” is banned in West Virginia. It must be lonely to be God, the preacher muses. No one will ever “buy him a coke, buy him a beer, pooh pooh his politics.” There was a riot poem from her volume Riot picturing a comic strip white liberal (“John Cabot!”) confronted with an angry mob of ghetto rioters: They were “black and bad and not , detainable, not discreet . . Lord, forgive these niggers . . .” One poem, “Alive in the Ice . an Fire,” included “It is the embarrassing first line which is morning of our love” the first line in a Rod McKuen and — — poem from Listening to the Warm. But Brooks redeemed it as a work of art by beginning it differently. This poem contained what for Brooks is a familiar sentiment: imagery and after rude ways to convey it. From “Boy Breaking Glass,” a youth “whose broken window is a cry of art,” shouts: “I shall create!/If not a note, a hole.” There are slyer ways to express the same undercurrents, as when Brooks remembers the way she felt as a young girl (“A Song in about Backyard”) the the prostitutes in the neighborhood; But I say it’s fine, Honest I do. I’d like to be a bad woman too. Gwendolyn Brooks seems to insist that poetry grpws out of tension and crisis, is recollected in leisure and imparts calm and recognition. * * � • At a reception for Brooks in the Black Student Union after the reading, the tiny Poet Laureate of Illinois faded naturally back into the shadow cast by her own work and by the effect of her clear, witty pulpit-style reading.

Because the world is at our window — - 1975 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER State University (SUNY) Chancellor Ernest Boyer announced yesterday a freeze on new construction and enrollment on most State-operated campuses. This means that at this University, $24 million in construction funds for projects scheduled to begin this year on the Amherst Campus have been reappropriated to next year’s budget. The buildings include a service warehouse ($5.3 million), the third building in a planned Engineering complex ($6.9 million), and a biology greenhouse ($.51 million). The rest of the $24 million was intended for road utility and landscaping projects. The enrollment freeze will have little impact because the University has already realized its projected enrollment of 25,000 for “Harrowing, while-knuckled suspense!”™ 3 kilos of pure heroin from war-torn Vietnam 3 burnt-out people in drug-torn California ... make an explosive connection on a headlong chase through the dark side of America in the savage 70's. ... 1980. This year, 27,000 students are enrolled. The University has also released new requests for construction in the 1977-78 budget, which, coincidentally, also total about $24 million. The requests include a music and chamber hall, an educational communications center, and the East and West Lecture Hall Centers. The construction halt and enrollment freeze were imposed by the SUMY Board of Trustees as part of a five-year consolidation program intended to modify SUNY growth, according to a statement released by the Chancellor’s office yesterday. However, it is believed that part of the reason for the constnwtion halt is the Housing Finance Association’s difficulty in selling State University Construction Fund bonds. Boyer said he is not acting under instructions from Governor Carey or the state Budget office. He said the curb in expansion of the State University indicates a more conservative outlook for the day-to-day operating policies as well. “Aworkofart!” -BOSTON GLOBS Now only $1.95 wherever paperbacks are sold <£B> Ballantine Books Friday, 24 October 1975 The Spectrum . . Page three �Prison rehabilitation leaves parolee sentenced to return evidence upon which the study would be by Marty Buchsbaum Spectrum based. Staff Writer as the is regarded primary purpose of our prison systems, yet Robert Martinson, a sociologist from City College in New York and the leader of a study on the subject, has concluded that this ideal is seldom achieved with any of the methods presently employed. In 1967, three prominent educators, including Martinson, were appointed by a New York State planning committee to study the success rate of rehabilitation programs in New York’s prisons. “We didn’t find any rehabilitation programs that work, but it appears that if you put young offenders On probation, at least they won’t do worse,” Martinson said. The study allegedly angered the New York Corrections Department, and the State originally refused to release the completed study. After years of court battles. New York State has finally agreed to allow publication of Martinson’s study, and it will soon be available to the public. Martinson also wrote a condensed version of the study for The Public Interest .Rehabilitation magazine. The study took three years to complete,; and examined every type of rehabilitation program on which the group could find] data. Everything from group counseling to> imprisonment (on the theory that this; punishment was a form of treatment) was studied. Not studied were relatively new programs such as work release and 1 methadone maintenance, because research 1 on these was not available. One penal policy which Martinson believes must be eliminated is the j indeterminate sentence, which leaves great discretion in the hands of parole boards, j Martinson said, “The idea was, if you could ' treat people, you wouldn’t want to keep, them a day after they were well. Now, it if turns out the treatment doesn’t have much of an effect, what’s the purpose of keeping flawed in that it overlooks indeed denies them on indeterminate sentence?” @ both the normality of crime in society and the personal normality of a very large Personal normality proportion of offenders, criminals who are The idea that rehabilitation is not merely responding to the facts and flawed, but that our programs just aren’t conditions of our society.” good enough and must be improved, was Instead of harsher penalties, Martinson quickly disgarded by Martinson.

Martinson thinks we can reduce the “Our present program is based on crime crime rate not by lessening the penalties. as a disease. This theory may well be I - - Which ones work? In the article, Martinson explains the difficulty encountered in finding reliable research in the area of rehabilitation. Two hundred and thirty one studies, from all over the world, were finally accepted as the NOW SHOWING but by punishing more of the offenders. Punishment as a deterrent to crime is important, he feels. Several criminologists are using this study to argue that what our criminal justice system needs is harsher penalties and greater punishment, rather than an emphasis on rehabilitation. Martinson completely disagrees. He says that “the study provides no evidence that getting tough or vicious or nasty with criminal offenders will reduce crime.” Martinson points out that there might be rehabilitation programs which are working, but the available research is “so bad” that it is impossible to tell. , NYPIRG probes test service by Anthony Schmitz Special to The Spectrum (CPS) - Claiming that students are “captive figures that show range of accuracy on the Scholastic Aptitude verbal test to be 30 points above and below the score reported. “This means,” NYPIRG spokespersons state, “that two students of the same ‘aptitude’ could get scores 60 points apart." If misuse and over-reliance on ETS test scores by university admissions offices can be shown, NYPIRG hopes to draft “corrective legislation, ranging from a consumer’s warning of the test’s validity stamped on the test to a ban of the tests until their validity could be proven. In the past, inquiries into ETS have fared poorly. A study of ETS in 1973 by the Washington Youth Project floundered and failed to produce a consumers” of college admissions tests, the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) launched an investigation in October of the firm responsible for tests ranging from the Scholastic Aptitude Test to the Law School Admissions Test. Educational Testing Service (ETS) “is accountable to no one,” NYPIRG spokespersons claim. It “is a huge mind control industry. Millions of students and other citizens are tested by ETS each year,” yet “students have no control over ETS and neither do the schools which require the tests,” report. Another effort, to get inside ETS by according to NYPIRG. two 18-year-old students and a 53-year-old zoology non-profit corporation with a $50 million annual budget has been in the testing professor under Ralph Nader’s sponsorship was also business for 28 years.

A great deal of interest was also evident during last week’s open house at the College, she said. President Robert Ketter directed the College in a letter Wednesday to either allow men access to all-women courses or have them abolished by January of next year. WSC already met an October 15 deadline to include in its charter a clause guaranteeing that it will not engage in discriminatory practices. “We’ve done everything we were told to do,” Tiger asserted. “There’s no reason why our charter shouldn’t be approved.” Despite the approval of the charter last January by President Robert' Ketter and a promised eighteen-month period before it would be reviewed again, WSC was given until August 15 this summer to all-women classes.

Petitions are being circulated demanding that the deadline be lifted, a year of self-evaluation be allowed before changes of policy are required, (as specified by Title IX guidelines), that the College be given the opportunity to demonstrate that all-women classes are not discriminatory, and all-women classes “proved educationally valid as such be allowed to continue.” The five all-women classes were approved to the Division of Undergraduate Education last spring. At the time he approved the College's charter, Ketter said he accepted “in principle” the possibility that classes for one sex only could be justified academically. About 250 people were at the rally, and most of them took petitions Tiger said. “They should be coming in gradually, until November 5.” She noted that last year, the College collected approximately 4000 signatures in only five days. Information about the College’s crisis and extra petitions have made available to women’s organizations around the country “to educate people about the situation,” Tiger said.

A counseling service attuned to veterans’ financial, academic and personal problems will now be available and extended information services include for the first time current veterans’ legislation and information on discharge upgrading. VA has also organized an outreach program to of their eligibility for contact veterans benefits. The VA office has also expanded its staff to include Joseph Krakowiak, associate coordinator for Veteran Affairs, and Frank Cislo, a full-time veteran counselor Two administration representatives and some additional office staff have also been added. In the past the VA office was understaffed and inevitably spent most of its time processing applications for benefits, said Ed Serba, the office’s Outreach Officer. Now, services and personnel may be expanded because of the reinstatement of the Veteran Cost Instruction (VCI) grant by Congress.

The Veteran’s Affairs office is suggesting an emergency loan for these students and book deferments for all veterans. As of now, a student with financial problems must turn to outside institutions for loans. A Veteran's Educational Loan is extremely hard to get. Serba said the purpose of the outreach service was to “provide the veteran with the program that best fits his needs." As part of the outreach drive. VA is planning a series of seminars to acquaint veterans with VA benefits and to create an where veterans can atmosphere speak to from businesses and representatives colleges and to other veterans. A representative from the National Alliance of Businesssmen will speak October 29 about employment opportunities, resumes, interviews and job placement. Despite the new services offered to veterans here, Serba feels that veterans’ services are on the decline nationally. He said the cutbacks in Adult Education, BOCES, and in BISC (Business Industrial Services Center) have hurt veterans and that vocational training under VA laws has been virtually wiped out. He cautioned that the new services here are in danger of ending next year when the VC1 grant must go to Congress for renewal. f* I /ample 1 UUAB Fine Arts Film Committee Friday, Oct. 24th said Dwane Moore, construction coordinator for Facilities Planning.

Albany doesn't want to shell out the money needed to construct halfway adequate gym facilities on the Amherst Campus. The way things look with construction freezes, we'll be lucky to have any more buildings there at aU. Food Service can't afford to retain its student workers. It can't even afford to serve decent food. The Colleges have reached the bottom of the barrel. The Bookstore is still charging exorbitant prices for the same supplies you can buy a lot cheaper across the street. Small academic programs are being phased out, employees are being laid off, the University has run out of notches with which to tighten its belt, but... It is costing the University $16,900 to fix the steps of Lockwood Memorial Library, steps that have only been used by dogs, pigeons and sunbathers for years. Money that is so desperately needed for academic programs and services is being wasted away in slabs of cement. Is this intelligence? In reply to Marilyn C. Rug’s letter regarding my article on black discrimination, I am pleased to see that Ms. Rug recognizes that “in the current labor force most blacks are situated near the bottom with respect to such criteria as income, job status and unemployment rates.” However, it appears that her is advancement minority toward attitude characterized by some basic misunderstandings and a certain degree of paternalism. Without offering any statistics, Ms. Rug believes that there has been a significant decline in discrimination against blacks since 1972. Black organizations are not as optimistic. For instance, the NAACP recently criticized the Ford Administration for the lack of economic progress blacks are making. The fact that the Equal Opportunity Act was passed is not sufficient in itself. Without government enforcement and punishment of violators, the law loses its effectiveness. It is also clear that corporation’s can manipulate the spirit of laws forbidding discrimination. It is evident from the telephone company’s testimony before Congress that corporations are more than willing to hire blacks if they are willing to work at low wages. Cheap labor means more profits. What was particularly disturbing about Ms. Kill the monster Credit Hundreds of students each year watch their future goals and expectations go out the window as a result of a low score oh a standardized exam. Mass tasting is yet another plague of this computerized, highly impersonal society that takes all the experiences in a person's lifetime and reduces them to an immutable number. No organization is more responsible for perpetuating an over-reliance on test scores in this country than the monster that calls itself the Educational Testing Service (ETS). In its 28 years of existence, this allegedly non-profit corporation has unilaterally set standards and measures of academic achievement with the SAT's, GRE's, and LSAT's. It "is a huge mind control industry. Millions of students and other citizens are tested by ETS each year," yet "students have no control over ETS and neither do the schools which require the tests," according to NYPIRQ members who are currently investigating the firm. Although it has been proven that standardized exams do not necessarily reflect Whether a student will do well in college, admissions officers will consistently compare the qualifications of two students based on a 60 point difference in scores. Thus, a student's entire academic career can go down the drain if he or she is a poor test taker or isn't feeling well on the day of the exam. Until now, the ETS has been immune to inquiries into its operation. However, the mere fact that the corporation has a monopoly on the testing market should be grounds for questioning. Meanwhile, colleges and universities should consider alternatives to standardized exams and stop selling out themselves and their students to the monster in Princeton, New Jersey. To the Editor.

The idea that blacks are not experienced enough or qualified enough and should patiently work up to a level where they are managerial material is a racist conception. It is also inconsistent with affirmative action, which Ms. Rug supports. Finally, I hope that I did not create the impression that W.E.B. Dubois believed that blacks and whites cannot work together. Dubois believed that not only was it possible for black and white unity in economic and political life, but also that this unity was necessary for the abolition of racism. What Dubois opposed was the idea that blacks could overcome discrimination by becoming capitalists themselves. He realized that to be a capitalist was impossible for most blacks and not even desireable. He considered racism a as divisive tool that capitalists use to maintain their economic and political power. Philip Moran country.

The health and sanitary conditions that exist in Norton Hall cafeterias have long been a matter of exaggeration and humor to faculty, students and employees alike. Let’s get some facts straight. Last year, the steam table in the Rathskeller was inoperative for a short while. This wasn’t due to simple electrical failure but to the shorting-out of wires caused by the existence o{ a rat’s nest in the Rat’s steam table. Head for the hills! For those who dine exquisitely in the Tiffin Room and think they - are above all this beware! The cockroaches found in the first floor cafeterias and Rathskellar are those that have made the big leap from the second floor Tiffin Room kitchen. 1 was up there enough times this summer to observe the “feast of the critters” for — myself. The in-one-day, out-the-other, back-in-again hiring policy has long been another source of mystery to employees. Students and full-time workers have been laid-off or fired with little or no Whatever happened to the two week lay-away plan? The recent charge that relatives of employees were favored in hiring practice over more experienced antj long-term workers is not groundless. Food Service is rapidly becoming one big “family.” This attitude toward “family” hiring resulted in violation of a State Labor Law prohibiting minors from working heavy machinery. This summer, a fifteen year old was hired and allowed to work the dish machine in the first floor cafeteria. Another serious aspect that should concern us all is the compromising position that employees find themselves in working for Food Service. Some people in Food Service have worked for the Faculty Student Association (FSA) 15 and 20 years. Their jobs are just as fragile, as those of part-time employees recently hired. These people have families and are trying to exist 'in a time of economic turmoil. In soirte cases* these people have received $.15 raises over three years while management rewards itself well. The recent $.20 raise not withstanding! the minimum wage raise in January will wipe this out), Management policy toward workers has been one of neglect and abuse. The FSA owes it to these people to look into the workings of Food Service and establish some wage parity among workers and make Food Service more responsible to all concerned. notice. Name withheld upon request �info the next world with the Firesign Theatre by John Duncan Contributing Editor Do you remember the future? Have you given up your shoes for industry? Did you know that dogs flew spaceships to earth long ago, or that men and women are the same sex? If your answer is yes to any of then you are already the preceding, familiar with the insanity which is collectively known as the Firesign Theatre. If so, you should skip the next few paragraphs (if your brain is still the boss), for they are nothing more than meaningless hype. Shovel it on Those of you who answered no to all the preliminary questions have either never heard of or never listened to the Firesigns, a group which transcends all previous definitions of the term "comedy." (here comes the bullshit already!) To quote from their autobiography . According to insurance records, "thee in these Mad onely partissypants Exercises" were Paulas Peterboorg, a play write and bear-hater; Fflegmish Proctor Christman, the young son of the Archbishop of Arch and a poet of the school; the satirist "knife and Kut SackviHe Boozeman; and finally, the who Philip, had mysterious Philip apparently been reversed at birth, and is credited with inspiring the comforting Elizabethan concept of multiple-identity. " Like Proctor, it says, Peter Bergman, Phil David Ossman and Phil Austin began making records in or around Los Angeles, c. 1968, with Waiting for the Electrician. From the start, their strange blend of mid-20th century radio-drama format, improvised skits and puns, and intellectual satire set a precedent in the field of recorded humor. (This is what is known as piling it high.) More than meets the ear The subtlety and complexity of their work makes them far funnier than such contemporaries as Monty Python (similar but inferior) or Cheech & Chong (for vegetables only), yet these same attributes make them inaccessible to the many listeners who lack patience. Whereas a George Carlin or Robert Klein Ip may evoke peals of laughter upon first listening, the jokes wear thin with repeated play, as the victim already knows all the punchlines. Hearing a Gabriel Kaplan album 20 or 30 times has been -Jtnown to cause death, or at least nausea, in the average college student. On the other hand, a similar dose of any particular Firesign Theatre album (not all at once, of course) is rewarding to those who listen with even a minimum of attentiveness. Each time through, new puns, plot or word associations, ridiculous literary references, etc. become apparent. As is so rarely the case, the whole of the group's work is greater than the sum of its parts, as thq albums interconnect with and complement each other in a unique way. Repeated exposure to two or more Firesign things albums yields increasing benefits begin to fall together into an extensive — system of hilarious nonsense. History again: Scholars at Solid State University are at present attempting to assemble a coherent version of this comedy by programming the many variations printed during the time of the Puritan Elision into their D.R.M. computer. Enough. If you aren't a Firesign Theatre fan, you should be. If you listened to and didn't like them, you either didn’t listen hard enough (most likely), or heard a bad album (there are one or two). Which brings Columbia up a strange coincidence records has just released two new examples of Firesign product, one very good, and the other very bad. — First, the bad news What tilts Country Needs (A Good $.05 Joke) is the second album featuring Phil Proctor and Peter Bergman on their own, and consists of excerpts, taken over the last two years, from their stage show. It indeed proves to be a collection of five cent jokes, although most of them are not all that good and none of them satisfy the first half of the album title at all. The first side is all taken from their 'TV or Not TV" routine which is nothing exceptional, especially the second time around. If you saw it either of the times P.&B. performed it at the Fillmore Room a few years back, you know what I mean. The second side fares a little better, featuring all new material (most notably a radio talk show parody), but is largely unamusing. N and Bergman Proctor Although contribute greatly to the total Firesign Theatre sound (most of the funniest voices are Proctor's), they seem unable to write good material of their own. However, the apparent fragmentation of this already cracked group has resulted in a good album as well, perhaps because it is more of a group effort. In the Next World You're On Your Own, , which was written and produced by Ossman and Austin alone but performed by the entire Theatre, is far superior to the Proctor and Bergman release. While this new album (the group's ninth) is not as overtly hilarious as most of its predecessors, it certainly rates among their top six or seven in terms of overall quality. (More of a distinction than it sounds.) In the Next World features a superb collection of new characters (the Coolzip family of Heater, California), several cutting social remarks (mostly about the current trend toward mayhem), heavy tinges of science fiction and, of course, continuations and expansions of old themes. The TV guise The presentation of this new epic utilizes the proven Firesign medium of several "television shows" which share characters and story lines. As the plots thicken, shows and formats are constantly being traded, presenting different premises and viewpoints, confusing the hell out of the person between the speakers. The front cover illustration displays, things.

But for Shana Ritter, chairperson of the UUAB Literary Arts Committee, it is a way of pursuing the object which is most important to her, and to which she is truly dedicated; promotion of the literary arts.

It.i* with this belief that Ritter and committee member Janet Yager coordinate the entire literary arts program on campus. A major portion of their effort is directed towards an extensive series Of poetry readings. This past summer UUAB sponsored a series of free readings by University faculty and students.

Post can be depended on to make a stiff, unimaginative and (this time around) tasteless film. The script of Whiffs is a disaster. When the film tries to be something a strange mixture of Dr. Strangelove and Mash (the film is being sold as "the it comes most hilarious military farce since Mash) out like a demented Walt Disney picture. When it tries to be funny, it parades the worst set of one-liners ever housed in a single film and carelessly and irresponsibly brings up Attica, Leavenworth and dated jokes about peace demonstrations for laughs. The sensibility of the film is so stale that there is nothing in Whiffs that could identify it as a new film. The acting in the film is overdone and bad. Elliott Gould, a fine actor, brings all his worst cutesy mannerisms to his role. The character he plays qualifies as neither funny nor sad; add to this the fact that the character has, among other grotesqueries, yellow and bald patches on his head as a result of the testing, and Gould emerges as a complete horror. Jennifer O'Neill couldn't possibly be accused of overdoing anything, since here, as elsewhere, she hardly ever bothers to give a Harry Guardino and Godfrey performance. Cambridge are equally bad. David Walsh's cinematography does include a few haunting shots of parched desert landscapes, but generally speaking, the only guinea pigs involved in Whiffs will be the audience. Whiffs is playing at the Holday and Seneca Mall — A film that is dedicated to the "human guinea pigs" that the army uses for the testing of chemical warfare. A crop-duster rampaging up the main street of a small town, dusting the townspeople with nerve gas. Elliott Gould and Jennifer O'Neill frolicking spacily on a bed, spraying nerve gas at each other. Kinky, scathing, right? Wrong. These are just a few of the weird images that abound to either little or bad purpose in Whiffs, a film as godawful as its title. An examination of the motives behind the above scenes will give some idea of the inanity of the film. First, Gould and his pal (Harry Guardino) are getting even for their previous status as testing subjects by robbing the local bank in revenge. The crop-duster (piloted by Godfrey Cambridge) is being used to put the citizens under while they pull off The politics of poetry Ritter, herself a poet, believes that poetry should serve more than just an aesthetic function. 'There was a time when poetry was used as an oral tradition, not only expressing fantasies, but reflecting the consciousness of the society whose voice it echoes. It must not only be recognized as an aesthetic forhn, but also as a political force. If we would take the time to listen and speak in the poetic tradition, we would be able to, as Marge Piercy says, 'lay the tower on its side and turn it into a communal longhouse'."

Obvibusly, it is only a matter of time before Max Von Sydow, as the professional killer hired by 'The Company" to take care of tough birds like the Condor, will stalk up behind him but Turner is intelligent and fascinating enough to keep the suspense building steadily right up to the end. The script, however, is not quite so intelligent and fascinating. Working from James Grady's novel Six Days of the Condor (and I'd like to know what they did with the rest of the week), David Rayfiel and Lorenzo Semple, Jr. have taken a rather confusing plot and concocted a two-hour screenplay almost entirely from instantly forgettable one- and two-liners on the order of "How long have you known Condor?" "Joey? I knew him before he was a bird, even." "Have I raped you?" Turner challenges defensively when Catherine suggests that the circumstances of their meeting were something less than romantic to which she replies pertly, 'The night is young!" — — — — Speechless The authors handle neutral scenes adequately, but as soon as they are faced with a really dramatic situation, their imaginations propel them right past the boundaries of believability. About to be gagged right in her own bathroom, Catherine shouts 'This is —gropes around for a while, and finally comes up with an injured "UNFAIR!" "I know," Turner quietly answers. And what more is there to say? On the other hand, Owen Roizman's cinematography is consistently stunning and under Sydney Pollack's direction, Condor is stylish and slick, fast-paced and very exciting. At times it is much too when Sparrow Hawk ("code name" of the ever helpful clever Catherine) and Condor take off in her van with Cliff Robertson as Higgins, the immediate superior they have just kidnapped, a flock of birds scatters from beneath its front wheels. But Turner's initial paranoia is very effectively captured in a short sequence set just after he leaves the Literary Historical Society for the last time and is suddenly confronted by a sea of suspicious-lookirfg faces, and the love scene between Redford and Dunaway, unnecessary as it may be, is sensitive and quite beautiful. Roizman alternates very close, quick, montage-like shots of the lovers' hands, faces, shoulders, and so forth either motionless or so near the lens as to be almost unidentifiable and therefore unreal with lovingly extended looks at photographer Catherin's own work, which Joe has already described as strikingly forlorn and empty. Passing quickly over the bodies on the bed while virtually caressing the stark, lonely photographs with his camera, Roizman says more about the couple than the screenwriters ever dare attempt. Three Days of the Condor has enough points in its favor to make its flaws easy to ignore. Now playing at the Holiday Theatre, it is a riveting piece of entertainment, and possibly represents Redford's best work to date. — — — Prodigal Sun match the dog, or are equally plausible.

After all, he is criticizing an entire generation's dreams and man. values. (Financial and familiar security are paths to total happiness . . . and the like.) Bob Slocum has worked hard to produce stability in his life, but through analysis he wakes up to find himself caught in a vpid, without escape. He is bored and unstimulated. Slocum tries hard to make the reader believe that all the unhappiness he suffers is completely due to outside influences, not to flaws in his own character. He finds it harder and harder to deal with the inconsistencies of his job, his family, his whole life. Only one fact (of the many he burdens us with) is clearly horrible: his youngest son is an incurable imbecile. Slocum is plainly heartless about the child and at the same time does not feel at fault: "I no longer think of Derek as one of my children," he says,-"or even as mine. I try not to think of him at all. This is becoming easier, even at home when he is nearby with the rest of us, making noise with some cradle toy or making unintelligible noises while endeavoring to speak.

Besides, Heller's unique style of writing and his flair for characterization has made Something Happened a best seller, both originally and now in paperback. — — Which of several possible tragedies will befall Slocum as a result of so much discontent?

Page nine �"Rooster Cogbum' out of the ordinary' in Wayne's shoot-em-up western An Indian village is Cogburn's first _stop. There he by Roberta Rebold Spectrum Arts Staff Another John Wayne movie?! Well, what more can be expected I thought, than endless guns and blood and maybe an entertaining story thrown in. After being exposed to four shootings in half as many minutes, I realized that Rooster Cogbum was definitely going to fulfill its quota of western violence. The movie's plot, though, was trite and faf from intriguing. John Wayne plays Rooster Cogbum, a character taken from the previous (and superior) movie. True Grit. Cogbum is a fearless, swaggering, one-eyed marshall, who has earned his nickname "Rooster" by showing who was "cock of the walk." (It is dialogue like this which makes the movie ridiculous at times.) Cogbum is used to following the laws of the old west, which exist on an "eye for an eye" basis. Rio bravado As the film opens, Cogburn is shown coolly showering four unsuspecting men with bullets. He is tried for his act, which we learn was done to avenge the death of his deputy. The judge informs Cogburn that changes are coming to ■ the west and new laws must-be obeyed. Cogburn is then punished by being temporarily stripped of his badge. Later that evening, the judge visits the ex-marshall at his home and tells him about a band of outlaws who are suspected of having plans to rob a bank. The judge offers Cogburn a large sum of money and possibly his badge if the criminals are rounded up and brought back alive. Cogburn agrees to this deal and sets off the next morning on the trail of the outlaws. meets Miss Goodnight (Katherine Hepburn), a religious, moralizing schoolteacher. Cogburn learns that Miss Goodnight and her preacher father had dedicated their lives to teaching "the word of the Lord" to Indian children. The old preacher had been killed the day before, when a group of drunken desperados had passed through the village and started trouble. ■> Miss Goodnight and an Indian boy named Wolf, whose family had been killed by the outlaws, decide to join Cogburn in his pursuit of the killers. Even though Cogburn does not agree to this arrangement ("Riding horses by day and sleeping on cold ground by night is no way for a woman to live'\ the woman and boy join him. Despite Miss Goodnight's constant sermonizing, she is a tough frontierswoman who rides, shoots and strategizes equally as well as Cogburn. The remainder of Rooster Cogburn depicts an unoriginal and overly long chase of the villains. The characters of the "bad guys" are totally stereotyped, complete with slitted eyes, dirty, whiskery faces and tobacco-filled mouths. was not altogether without redeeming value. The shots of Oregon's beautiful Deschutes National Forest were outstanding. The colors (especially of sunset) were striking and the river looked untouched and clear. I was also left with a definite impression that John Wayne's stone-age consciousness has been somewhat raised recently. The many predictable put-downs of women were obviously tongue-in-cheek; Hepburn's clever answers always left him speechless. It was as though Wayne knew Firesign Theatre Coolzip, aging patrolman, star of "Police Street," in his natural habitat. Random's days on the force are numbered, and he spends a lot of his time driving around drunk (he pulls into Three Finger Mickey's, a drive-up bar, for a "side of vodka"), and talking on the police radio to disembodied voices One Dolly 19, One Footfighter 22, and One Housewife 45. (Random's own code name is One Daddy 57.) himself. Color-consciousness Rooster Cogburn A soap commercial introduces Random's wife Peggy, leading character in an excellent parody of (what else) a soap opera, entitled "Over the Edge." (Remember "The Painful Threshold?") The Coolzip's daughter, beautifuly Hollowood starlet Kim Kool (a take-off on Linda Lovelace) makes her entrace in a tongue-in-cheek commercial which follows a scene of "Police Street" and stays on as "honorary co-chaircreature" in a "depression telethon" skit. Since the group's formation, the members of the Firesign Theatre have been advocates of the Native American cause. On this Ip, their point is driven home through the medium of a daytime game show called "Give It Back." Skipper Coolzip (Kim's brother, seen briefly in "Police Street") is the contestant, and gets to win prizes for "this week's forgotten Americans, the Dog Indians." What Skipper doesn't know is that the prizes he wins for the "grateful Dogs" are possessions to be taken away from his own parents hence the name of the show. Eventually young Cooliip wins a "Hollywood dream package," meaning that he and sister Kim are to attend the Academy Awards celebration, and take hostages at gunpoint for his tribe’s cause. The following dialogue takes place between Skipper and the game show host: "Yes, Skipper, it's your gallant bid to give America back to the Dogs. You can save the country “Do I get to keep the gun?" . But in return, your parents, back on the reservation, will have to give up ..." . — everything!"

("The the agony of competition thrill of death your DMA Sports Web is on the air.") The side also includes commercials for such things as Billy Jack dog food ("You know, the kind of dog food that Billy Jack likes"), the American Excess credit card, and the Golden Showers automated massage parlor (where boy and girl robots have interchangeable parts, and patrons are kept "in touch with the latest in adult interest" through the "exclusive enema hotline"). The Ip ends on a very strange, almost disturbing note, the meaning of which is still quite unclear to me. — May I have the envelope, please? George Tirebiter makes a — return appearance on side two as announcer for the Academy Awards ritual which is later disrupted by Skipper and Kim. Hollywood is mocked well by the movie excerpts which follow George's "nominations for overachievement in a starring vehicle." The audience applauds wildly as they view and disaster on the screen, titles including Universal Studios' "The Day Universal Burned Down" ("Two stuntmen just killed each other on the oriental violence set! Vaaah!") and Horrifying Pictures' "Crime Clock Terror," featuring Ace Berserker as the atomic chainsaw death killer.

Its marquee timidly protrudes, quietly bespeaking the grandeur of the building. The edifice is the majestic Loew's Buffalo. The Loew's is a city within a city. It is a theatre which has its own spirit, ambience and of mind. The Loew's is evoking excitement today because of plans to use it as a concert hall. The UUAB Music Committee in cooperation with Belle Aire presentations have already booked three musical shows into the palace on Main. It appears the dog days of unasked for saunas and the abhorrent acoustics of Clark Hall will become mere memories as well as the cramped asshole to elbow entanglement that was the Fillmore Room's calling card. The Loew's Buffalo is a setting much more conducive to a professional musical presentation which campus halls just could never provide. state Pipings of Pan The aura of the Loew's resides in its history. The theatre was constructed in 1925 for the tidy sum of $2 million. The architects were the famed wizards of theatre palaces, George and C.W. Rapp. The breathtaking interiors of the theatre were designed by Tiffany Studios of New York City. The Loew's internal layout is a colossal, sprawling interpretation of the Louis the XIV style. Illuminated domes, gold leafing, marble founts, mirrors reflecting mirrors overwhelm the senses as if you were under the sway of a Kubla Khan pipe dream inspired by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Multi-faceted chandeliers, winding stairs, crazy carpets and columns transport you to a mythic land where you can hear the soft pipings of Pan. The Loew's presence is that intense. It has been the sad fate of similar theatres across the country to be demolished and destroyed. It is the hope of the Friends of Buffalo, a small dedicated collective of concerned citizenry, headed by L. Curt Mangel III that the Loew's won't be lost to the Buffalo community. Mangel envisions the possibility of the Loew's becoming Buffalo's Center for the Performing Arts. He cites the fact that of the 50 major cities in the U.S. only Buffalo lacks a V, performing arts center. •. See-saws in limbo The Friends are now in the process of restoring Prodigal Sun the theatre to top-flight shape so it can be a source of enrichment to the Buffalo area. Currently the Loew's is embroiled in the quagmire of litigation. Meanwhile city officials sit on their hands Unsure of just what to do with the theatre. Election day draws near and the politicians are shuffling their feet and jockeying for position to see who will back into office before any decisions will be made regarding the status of the theatre. The options open to the city are numerous enough. They can run the theatre under city management, lease it out to various promoters or sell the theatre outright. So the charismatic Loew's see-saws in a tenuous limbo. Recently the U.S. Department of Interior bestowed the honor of adding the Loew's Buffalo to the select list of the National Register of Historical Places. From the public's vantage point, the Loew's is a Buffalo natural resource laying nearly fallow. The potential for creating a cultural facility which can showcase dance, theatre, jazz and other arts media, coupled with another stride toward reclaiming downtown, is too important to be forfeited by bureaucratic backroom buck passing. Curt Mangel's idea that the theatre must not be exploited but instead preserved and used for the public good is an excellent yardstick from which the city can gauge and guide subsequent action. tickets available at ticket office $1.00. $125. $1.50 beer and other refreshments ;he coffeehouse sold out two si October 25 at 2 p.m GUITAR STYLES WORKSHOP with artie traum room 232 free Discounts up to 25% off* when you show your University I.D.

Images of longhairs crazed on cheap rot gut and a fistful of lewds trashing the historic Loew's is a vivid worry in the minds of some officials. The theatre is now going through a probationary stage to ascertain whether the University students can prove capable of using the theatre properly. That's not asking much. The landmark 3,249 seat theatre at 646 Main is nearing the fiftieth anniversary of its inception. The rococo and regal rafters will ring with the sound of music ranging from the funky rock of Little Feat to the jazz riffings of Larry Coryell and Steve Khan. It it a rare opportunity for the University community to combine fine entertainment with the splendid spaciness of the Loew's Buffalo.

Page eleven . �Vocal classical 'explosion' Buffalo is in decent shape musically. The Buffalo Philharmonic, the various chamber music series, the University's musical offerings (especially contemporary music), and the many church groups all combine to provide a well-balanced, high quality diet for anyone whose ears so attuned. Unfortunately, generally missing from this fare is great vocal music. Opera performances are a rarity, evenings of art songs and arias are similarly few. It is a glaring, annoying deficiency. That we are in the middle of a minor explosion of vocal events is, understandably, cause for a good deal of interest (maybe even singing). It was a performance by Donald Gramm (bass/baritone) on Tuesday, October 14, in the Mary Seaton Room of Kleinhans that started the rush, followed quickly and successfully by the first recital of a Schubert Lieder (songs) Festival with Heinz Rehfuss (baritone) performing in the Katherine Cornell Theater on Sunday, October 16. The incredible French baritone, Gerard Souzay, keeps the ball rolling with a recital next Wednesday evening in selections by Tchaikovsky, Nin, Poulenc and others. Souzay is probably the most incredible interpreter of French art songs (credible?) (particularly Poulenc) alive. Capping this flurry of vocalism is nothing less than a fully staged production of Richard Strauss' chamber opera Ariadne aux Naxos in the Shaw Festival Theater, Niagara-on-the-Lake, November 7—9. The Buffalo Cavalleria incidentally, brings Philharmonic, Rusticana and Pagliacci to Kleinhans November 1. Now that's an explosion. Sonorous vocal As I said, Donald Gramm got things started, opening his program with arias from various Handel operas. Gramm's basic musical intelligence, wide vocal equipment and ranging and sonorous conscientious acting all made themselves known quickly. In his performance of "O Ruddier than the Cherry" from the opera Acis and Galatea, he displayed accuracy of intonation and rhythm in some frighteningly rapid runs, while maintaining his basic musicality. Robert Schumann's introspective Liederkreis (Song Cycle), Op. 39 brought out the small scale Gramm, which proved equally satisfying, gelling as he did with his pianist, Donald Hassard. Returning to opera with Mozart's "Rivolgete a seguardo," K. 584 (originally intended for Cosi Fan Tutti), Gramm donned the humorous character with assurance. The four songs by Faure lui lo that followed were sung smoothly enough but might have benefited from a lessening of scale. Closing the program with Five Songs of Charles Ives, Gramm alternately marched, waltzed, swaggered and yelled to great effect. He made one feel amost comfortable as he tackled Ives' rhythms with sureness. What should I say? Donald Gramm is musical, intelligent and possesses a rich vocal instrument. More musical intelligence was displayed by Heinz Rehfuss in his traversal of the Schubert song cycle, Die Schoene Muellerin. The range of colors and moods that Schubert asks for were delivered by Rehfuss with insight. Everything seemed carefully thought out, yet spontaneous. Carlo Pinto, at the piano, was a sympathetic partner, though his waving arms sometimes annoyed. All in all, a very moving performance heralding the beginning of College B's Schubert Lieder Festival, Workingman’s Schubert Getting away from the vocal scene but staying with Schubert, we arrive at last Friday's program featuring the Zagreb Pro-Arte String Quartet. This Yugoslavian group presented Schubert in an entirely different musical temperament than I have heard him previously. Their performance of Schubert's Quartet, Op. 125, No. 1 was workman-like but warm, really very straight. It worked, though, and that is final criteria. What didn't work was Hiller's Quartet No. 2, the second piece of the evening. After a minute or two this unabashedly romantic piece becomes predictable and, ultimately, almost as boring as it is romantic. It was played with fervor. The second half of the concert was devoted to a survey of short pieces by contemporary Yugoslavian composers. The most effective pieces were Branimar Sakac's Serenata and Miroslav Miletec's Modifications for String Quartet and Percussion. The Sakac piece is an honestly folk-inspired work that makes conservative, effective use of the dark colors available to string quartets. Percussionist Donald Knaack joined the quartet for Miletec's work that alternately involves unisons, dialogues and unrelated lines between the quartet and percussion. It is colorful, atmospheric work.

Friday, 24 October 1975 Pi: It g �by Mike McGuire and Karen Szczepanski A packed Century Theater was the scene last Saturday night for Dale Wasserman's powerful adaptation of Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, the longest-running dramatic play in off-Broadway history. The excellent production of the play set in a mental hospital ward left the unusually well-dressed Century crowd somewhat unsure about just who's nuts and who isn't in our society. Randall Patrick McMurphy, played by Frank O'Connor, is a work farm prisoner who feigns madness to escape the drudgery of the farm. The rowdy the change McMurphy has brought to the ward, and a new awareness of the Big Chief's own self-worth. The mental ward of the play has disturbing similarities to the outside world, the "sane" society. Everyone except McMurphy is in the ward voluntarily, and could get out if they asked. But, as one patient sees it, they are the weak rabbits of the world, afraid of being eaten by the foxes running around outside. In the ward, their lives first met with all the subtle means society has of dealing with dissidents first condescension, then "the rules are for your own good," then character assassination (the Big Nurse tells the other patients he's a card cheat and reminds them he came from a work farm), then mild harassment. Only when these fail is the Final Solution imposed. As the play ends, McMurphy is smothered by the Big Chief on the assumption that he wouldn't want a — starts McMurphy immediately challenging the authority of the hospital authorities, especially that of the Big Nurse, who runs the ward with an iron fist. We find out that the Nurse, who has never married, has 20 years of experience and is a higly regarded psychiatric nurse who sacrifices all for the patients' therapeutic well-being.

Fitzgerald), Cheswick (Michael Zelenko) and Ruckly (Carl Yorke) were fine as fellow ward patients. Nina Murano and Katherine Braun, who played two saucy women smuggled into the ward by McMurphy, played their rather stock roles with gusto. (Braun also played the Big Nurse's subordinate. Nurse Flinn.) The Big Nurse herself, played by Bronwyn Carter, was a minor disappointment. While the role calls for a coldness, an inhuman malevolence possible only in a technocrat. Carter played a more human (and therefore more ambiguous) character. While her portrayal of the role as she saw it was fairly good, her misreading softened the impact of the play. Frank O'Connor as McMurphy played a swaggering, lusty hero well, although his portrayal was hampered slightly by the stock characterization of the rowdy Irishman with a heart of gold.

Page thirteen �Esther Satterfield, Once I Loved (A&M) The enticing lady stood only a few inches away; her beauty struck, and I was spellbound. Little did I know that with that first glimpse she had not even begun to shower me with her rewards. When the time for pleasure had finally arrived the lady did not simply sprinkle me with gifts, instead she flooded my heart with emotion. Her first intonation sent my heart into a fantasy of sensuality. From that moment of exile into ecstasy I listened, saw and felt only her voice. I was her captive. For 40 minutes, I was entranced by the inundation of the sound, the waves were perfect, never breaking or crackling, just flowing smoothly. The band was a pleasant backup, they did not obstruct feeling but rather thrust Esther's vocal to the forefront. It took unsurmountable talent to perform so keenly and yet so unobtrusively. Satterfield's voice always was able to fall back on the rhythmic foundation supplied by Joe La Barbera on drums and Al Johnson on bass. When her throat needed a rest the "Beautiful Black Girl," as the Watts Prophets would call her, could depend on Gerry Niewood to pick up a wind instrument and keep the emotion pulsating until Esther could come back strong, stronger than before the horn interlude. When speaking about her. Chuck Mangione said, "There are few voices so naked. Esther’s pure, so distinct, that one dare let them stand alone is the exception." From the onset she let me know what she had attracted me for she was going to "Life Every Voice and Sing" for me. If there was a tune that resembled a rock number in her repertoire this was it, and she put swing into it. I always knew that the power of love was strong but when Esther said, "Love is Stranger Far than We" it was impossible to disagree. Her presentation was so flawless and convincing that I surrendered without a rebuttal. Her return to a glorious era of the past was a superb tribute to Heywood-Gershwin and their song, "Summertime." For a long time admirer of the verse it was an occasion for celebration because when Esther took "Summertime" to a height that only her voice could carry. It made "life easier than ever before." The Four Tops told us, we need more music. Love Music, to turn the people on, but they didn't give me quite enough of it. But when Esther told me that we needed more "Love Music," I felt it was time for me to make my own. The most emotionally demanding song that Esther did was "The Summer Knows." Here she combined her exquisite voice with fine - — lyrics: "Summer Smiles, Summer Knows and unashamed she sheds her clothes and loving me she warms the sand on which you He." The hold was soon to be broken though, but not until Esther had proven to me, without a doubt, that she had enough talent to be rated with the idols of various generations. And so ended my 40 minutes' sojourn with Esther Satterfield, I was released from my fantasy world and ecstasy had floated away via a tone arm. Esther had told me earlier in "Once I Loved" that "Love is the saddest thing when it goes away," and she proved it when she ZU ended her first album. — Page fourteen . The Spectrum .

Linda Ronstadt, Prisoner in Disguise (Asylum) Linda Ronstadt's voice is perhaps the most finely crafted instrument in American country-rock music today. She is as much at home with a gentle James Taylor ballad ("Hey Mister, That's Me Up on the Jukebox") as she is with a belting country rocker like Lowell George's "Roll 'Um Easy." Twenty-nine and beautiful, Linda Ronstadt is the embodiment of female country innocence and charm, a quality which transcends her music throughout. Last year's album. Heart Like A Wheel produced two giant AM hit singles ("You're No Good" and "When Will I Be Loved?") which re-established Ronstadt as country-rock's leading lady after a brief absence from the airwaves. The basic formula for the new album seems to focus on Ronstadt's versatility. She sings a beautifully plucky version of Neil Young’s "Love is a Rose," and then goes to the other extreme where she attempts two old Motown numbers. Here is where the formula fails. Ronstadt is an excellent country-rock interpreter. However, she lacks the urbane brashness (urbanites would call it sophistication) necessary to sing soul. She is too innocent and wholesome a country girl for that, although her version of the Martha Reeves' standard "Heat Wave" has the easily palatable AM-saturation-radio sound to it, and should find its way to Top 40 soon. Ronstadt's guiding lights throughout the album are Andrew Gold (guitar and vocals) and John David Souther (from Souther, Hillman & Furay Band), who plays guitar, sings vocal harmony, and penned two of the songs including the title track. Linda also enjoys the company of a star-studded cast of back up musicians and vocalists, including James Taylor, Pete Asher, David Lindley and Maria Muldaur. Ronstadt refuses to fade from the foreground, and her compelling voice easily matches her instrumentation. She is simple country-rock music in its purest form, a delectable diet of blues and greens. The record, despite a somber sounding title, and a chilling photo of Linda portrayed as a "prisoner" on the cover, is an "up" album. The tunes are easily listened to and can be heard rolling off your tongue later in the day, even after one listening. Linda Ronstadt is the confirmed sweetheart of country-rock music; the little girl with the big voice promises to be a giant star. —Jerry Leshaw Fur prodi*r»; labeled to •how country of origin. hengerer Prodigal Sun �by David J. Rubin Sports Editor The State University Construction Fund deserves a hand. It is the first individual or group in three years to successfully unite athletes, coaches, student leaders, and the press toward a common goal. And it accomplished this feat with the greatest of ease. For the fifth time since 197?, the Construction Fund has cut the size of the proposed athletic facilities at the Amherst Campus. This last cut was a particular shock because the fourth one was accepted on the condition that no further cuts would be made. Surprise.* Student Athletic Review Board Chairman Dennis Delia, Student Association President Michele Smith, The Spectrum Editor Amy Dunkin, and Assistant Dean of the School of Health Education Martin McIntyre have all expressed amazement at the audacity of the Construction Fund’s move. The fieldhouse must be built, and it must be built big. It is needed more than any other academic building that is being constructed at Amherst. The Main Street gym facilities are comparatively worse than any other department facilities at this University, and unless a complete fieldhouse with adequate locker rooms, gymnasiums, handball-type courts, and offices are erected, the physical education facilities will remain the worst. The Construction Fund claims that this new cutback is a result of a miscalculation. Maybe yes, maybe no. Regardless of the cause, it is too late to make any further cutbacks on the proposed facility. If there are no funds available, either some should be raised, or cuts should be made for other proposed buildings, and added back to the fieldhousc line. Once again, athletics is getting the screw from the people with the money. No scholarships is already old hat. Possible cuts in salaries of coaches could cripple the athletic program at Buffalo, and if the fieldhouse is constructed with its new budget, intercollegiate, intramural, and just plain fun athletics will be as bad as they arc now. Delia summed it up well. “The people who are suffering are the students. Every day that we delay the gym gets smaller and smaller.” Athletics have been sacrificed all too often. It’s time to ciit back on other areas-and ease up on physical education. President Robert Ketter has attempted to convince students that he is in favor of athletics, but if he does not prevent this latest move, his credibility will take a sharp drop. I glso find it most upsetting that it took as severe a move as this to rally the many factions at this University. “United we stand, divided we fall” is nothing new. Yet it really hits home in light of this move by the Construction Fund. Athletes and coaches are essentially ineffective alone. Student Association could improve its effectiveness with its support. But mostly, bickering amongst each other is where the real damage is done. The administration, and groups like the Construction Fund think that they can make these cutbacks stick because opposition to them will be minimal and disorganized. Now is the time to prove them wrong. * Sports Quiz After an unavoidable two week vacation.

A proposal for the creation of the Commission was passed by the Student Senate last week. The proposal called for representation of the following constituencies: undergraduates, Millard Fillmore College Students; one representative for the law, dental and medical students; graduate students; faculty; staff; the office of Student Affairs and Campus Security. In addition, there will be a to the commission. Each group will have one representative, except undergraduates, who will have two, one a member of a minority. Under the new system of government, all legislation enacted by the Student Senate should originate ideally in one of the three task forces (Student Affairs, Academic Affairs, or Student Activities and Services). Legislation introduced to the Senate is either voted on, referred back to the task force, or sent to the operations and rules committee for clarification. The Commission proposal, bill S-001, originated in the Student Affairs Task Force. Director Steven Schwartz said he considers the Commission an excellent idea. “Anytime SA receives complaints from students, we have a responsibility to investigate these complaints, and this commission will do that,” he said. SA spokesman said further work on the Commission cannot go forward until replies are received to the letters of invitation sent to prospective Commission members. “We hope that the Commission will be a forum in which all parties can meet and discuss problems, and to define some solutions,” Smith said.

A bill placing new restrictions on the distribution of diethystilbestrol (DBS) has already passed the Senate and is now awaiting action on the House. The bill would require prepackaging of the drug in appropriate doses by the manufacturer. Printed warnings regarding the cancer-causing potential of the drug and the restriction of its contraceptive uses to emergency situations would also be required. DBS pills are supposedly for emergency contraception only, but trouble has arisen over the varying definitions of emergency which private and school physicians have used. One of the authors of the bill, Sen. Richard Schweikert (R., Pa.), claimed that its use was often “indiscriminate, especially on college campuses.” A doctor quoted in MS. magazine claimed that he wrote 1400 morning-after pill prescriptions because of women’s “state of panic” at the prospects of an unwanted pregnancy. - No longer banned The main ingredient of the morning-after pill, DES, is a known carcinogen but only in much greater quantities than the 250 mg. dose contained in the usual dose of pills. DES was banned by the FDA because of a suspected link with cancer but early this year the FDA reversed its decision and stated that no evidence of increased chance of cancer was found in women who have had short-term exposure to DES. But the FDA’s regulations warn that it is “sensible and prudent” to avoid use of DES “unless absolutely necessary.” The FDA also acknowledged that if the morning-after pill didn’t work, a resultant female child “will have an increased risk of cancer of the vagina or cervix later in life.” DES is also fed to cattle to fatten them before shipping them to market. So far no one has established a definite link between the use of DES in cattle feed and contraceptive drugs to human cancer. But a lot of people are trying. The National Cancer Institute has awarded contracts worth $1.5 million for a study of cancerous and non-cancerous gynecological disorders of women whose mothers received DES and other synthetic estrogens during pregnancy. DES was prescribed during the 40’s and 50’s to prevent miscarriages. Meanwhile the drug is prescribed at university health services around the country. Although the drug is approved for such “emergency” situations as rape or incest, many campus doctors regard unprotected intercourse as an emergency. A doctor at Iowa State University said he would prescribe the morning-after pill for unprotected intercourse but would “try not to prescribe the pill for a second time.” Difference of opinion Since the chance of getting pregnant from a random intercourse is only about 1 in 13, some doctors think waiting for confirmation of pregnancy and then an abortion is safer than DES in the long run. Others disagree. If there is a significant risk of pregnancy and the choice is between DES and an abortion, DES would be preferable, a University of Colorado health clinic administrator said. But Frank Rauscher, Jr., director of the National Cancer Program, isn’t so sure. Rauscher advocated a complete withdrawal of the morning-after pill unless its unnecessary use can be curtailed. Rauscher did not, however, condemn DES across the board, calling it a “useful medical tool.” to the morning-after pill for emergency An alternative contraception may be just around the corner. A physician of the Buffalo Planned Parenthood Center announced at a symposium that none of the 97 women who had a Copper-T 1UD inserted within five days after unprotected intercourse became pregnant. The Copper-T is the easiest type of IUD to insert in women who have not been pregnant apd also eliminates uncomfortable side effects such as nausea and vomiting which often accompany DES.

If we couldn’t clean all the tables, they would remain dirty,” said one student who recently quit working in the first Several students who were laid off from their jobs in the Norton Hall cafeterias have charged Food Service with unfair hiring and firing practices. A number of current employees also claimed Food Service is understaffed in light of excessively long lines and possible unsanitary conditions in eating and cooking areas. Food Service permanently dismissed seven part-time student employees and four full-time workers last week. “Norton was not making its budget and cuts totalling $1000 a week had to be made,” said Donald Bozek, Assistant Diretor of Food Service. He said these cuts were achieved by laying off $700 in full time labor and $300 in part-time student help. Additionally, the working time of most of the full-time employees on both campuses was cut, in most cases by no more than three hours per week. However, a few of the laid-off students told The Spectrum Monday that when they were hired earlier this year. Food Service officials promised that their jobs would last at least until the end of the semester. They feel that not only did Food Service mislead them but now that the semester is half over, there are virtually no jobs still available on campus. Communication gap “Our major problem is that we did not make dear to our employees that continued employment would be dependant upon the continued level of sales,” according to Fobd Service Director Don Hosie. “We overstaffed Norton Hall and as a result, had to make cutbacks.” The error was due in part to the poor judgment of two recently hired managers of Norton Hall Food Service, Bozek said, adding, “If the managers at Norton had realized that there would be certain financial difficulties, this would not have happened.” It is cheaper to hire students and “we try to hire as many as possible,” Bozek asserted. Students work an average of IS hours a week, but some work up to 35 hours, class schedules permitting. Regular employees, on the other hand, receive pro-rated benefit packages, including Blue Cross and Blue Shield and paid vacation time, Bozek said. He explained, however, that when reductions in labor must be made, part-time students are always the first to go. They are more expendable than their full-time counterparts because their work usually requires very little floor cafeteria in Norton. Students who work in the Rathskellar also charged that their hours were switched without regard for their class schedules. “Your hours are changed and this is it,” one student reported the supervisor as saying. Hosie was unaware of this situation, however, and said, “This is not a good practice. If this is the case, it will not continue.” Bozek said the two managers in Norton “will have to bend to work around student schedules, especially around exam times.” “Ideally, it is company policy to have one student work the whole week, but the next best route is with two or three students. Communication is sometimes a problem when dealing with many students, because we have to explain the nature of the work over and over again to new workers,” Bozek said. Food Service depends on its full-time staff to take on the extra workload during periods that student help is unavailable, such as exam time and the beginnings and ends of semesters. Long lines “Students take the job more casually than full-time workers,” noted Archie Bergersen, manager of the Red Jacket cafeteria at Ellicott. “If there is a question of a concert or something like that, they will not hesitate to miss work.” But most students do find substitues,” he said. Sixty, percent of the 57 person working force at Ellicott are students. However, even at peak hours, workers agree that Ellicott personnel do not face the long, confused pay and contract lines with which Food Service must contend weekdays in the Rathskellar and other Norton cafeterias. The lines in these places have been the source of frequent complaints by employees and customers. In addition to being inconvenient for students who must rush to class, many people maintain that their cooked food gets cold by the time they reach the cashier. • Hosie agreed that long lines is a very real problem, although he said separate pay and contract lines have been established, with the latter serving over 350 lunches daily. A scatter system for cash lines also enables people to coffee, sandwiches, donuts purchase snack foods - without having to wait. No relief Hosie said a request he made for extra space in Norton in September was denied. “Frankly, without this extra space, the lines will not become much shorter,” he admitted. He did suggest that people use the cash line on the second floor of Norton Hall, through which an estimated 200 pass daily. Both current and former Food Service workers cited cases of health code violations in cafeterias and kitchens. Some of the charges include food left out unrefrigerated for hours, food cooked and then reserved for up to a montli, and food thawed and refrozen more than once. Hosie denied most of the charges, stating, “Volume is so great that 1 can’t imagine this to be true.” He did note that if meat patties are not used during the day but are kept cold while sitting out, they can be refrozen. “This is common practice and is not unsanitary,” he said. Bozek also refuted these claims. “We do not hang on to food after 48 hours,” he stressed. Health check He also pointed out that the Norton Food Service facilities were inspected by the Health Department two weeks ago and the permit to operate was renewed. However, one student who recently resigned from a job in a Norton cafeteria claims that there are roaches behind the counter. “All the kitchen people know they’re there,” the person said, “but nothing is done about them.” Employees in the Elljcott Food Service areas have not (encountered the same problems as Norton Hall workers. One Ellicottemployee said that one person is sufficient to handle the “morning rush” at the Student Club. She also called the alleged complaints “a bunch of baloney.” Another student worker described his work as a “decent job,” with a “friendly boss and a well-organized kitchen.” Commenting on the economics of the Ellicott operation, Bozek said, “If we had to make a profit on every individual day, we would close Monday and Tuesday and cut back hours of service on Saturday and Sunday mornings.” �The pros and cons of ERA questioned in vigorous debate continued, but spouses would be equally liable to the family.

Circulation average: 15,000 Will do nothing Schlafly asserted that the ERA can do nothing to secure equal pay for equal work, and that it will do nothing for education and for women’s credit because these issues have already been addressed by other congressional legislation, she explained. Schlafly compared the ERA to a cure-all remedy. “Taking the. remedy makes you feel good, but it has no cure.” To Schlafly, the ERA is a big “take away” of women’s rights, that can destroy the family because the bill would destroy rights of women designed to keep the family together. Schlafly said the ERA will alter existing marriage contracts and that this will especially hurt older women who are not aware of its consequences. She labeled the behavior of ERA proponents as “mischief.” If ERA passes, she warned, women will lose the benfits of the protective labor laws. She said it is silly to ask for equality when physical factors are involved. Schlafly contended- the ERA will take away freedom of choice. She cited how in Maryland girls and boys are forced to participate together in contact sports. Schlafly claimed homosexuals will enjoy the same rights as married couples, such as adopting children and filing joint income taxes and that the ERA will be used to make cases in court to force religious institutions to otdain female clergy. Protection needed “I have no desire to dominate or to be dominated. Let us stand on our own two feet,” Younger replied. Younger accused Schlafly of saying that the ERA was only supported by small groups, but was interrupted by shouts ofv denial from the audience. The moderator had to step in to announce that interuptions would not be tolerated. Younger characterized Schlafly’s attitude as, “Women got everything. What the hell do they want now? What is she afraid of?” Younger asked.

Schlafly admitted the Pennsylvania ERA hasn’t forced women out of the home (“These things take time.”), but now, she protested, husbands are no longer the primary supporters. She feels the ERA may force the mother to go out and get a job. Schlafly pleaded in her conclusion, “Why leave areas of interpretation up to the courts? The courts have caused enough problems.

You’re rights were secured in the first amendment.” One questioaner accused Schlafly of being a member of the communist party, the Klu Klux Klan and of being a paid lobbyist for the John Birch Society. Chuckling, Schlafly denied the accusations. The tension of the debate reached a climax when Younger remarked that Schlafly’s own state of Illinois, 'had an ERA. Schlafly quickly answered that Illinois had an Equal Protection Amendment, not an ERA and urged the audience to adopt Illinois’ wording and drop New York’s. When Younger returned to the microphone, she proclaimed Schlafly was either We have a choice.

Community colleges are over-crowded (CPS) Students at many community colleges were caught in a squeeze play this fall. Although the economy pushed unsuccessful job seekers into college enrollment lines, tight finances forced some schools to close the door on open admissions. For the first time, several thousand students at community colleges were turned away. - “It’s push come to shove. People can’t find jobs, so they live at home and enroll in a vocational program at their local community college. State legislatures can’t come up with the moncy-for all of the students, so some are sent away,” said an official .of the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges (AACJC). Enrollment at two-year colleges is expected to skyrocket to 4 million students this year, a 20 percent increase over last year’s enrollment, according to the AACJC. This compares to an enrollment increase of only 3 percent for four-year colleges, according to Office of Education statistics. Bella Abzug —Courtesy Knocks CIA among others at a Clark Hall appearance - Limited support This increased student demand for a community college education has upset the 6pen admissions policy of community colleges in some states. Previously, all community colleges subscribed to an open door policy for all high school graduates and for non-graduates who qualified for specific programs Yet more students necessitated more money. Tuition at an average of $2100, according to the community colleges is low and doesn’t go far in covering a College Entrance Examination Board school’s operational expenses. Dependent on state monies for financial support, community colleges have now found a definite limit to that by Marty Schwartz Staff Writer Spectrum — - support. In an unprecedented move, the California state legislature squeezed out potential students by limiting enrollment to no more than a 5 percent increase over last June. “Blame it on the economy,” said one state legislator. in Chicago, nine community colleges face the unwelcome task of deciding whether to raise tuition presently $60 a quarter for fulltime “We’re robbing the students or reject some applying students. very people who need an education,” said Sy Freedman, an official of City Colleges of Chicago. “The Latinos, the blacks, the Indians: these and at current people can’t afford to go to school anywhere but here tuition prices.” t - - - Door closed In Flordia, at least 5000 students were turned down by community college admissions officers. “Xhis is the first time we had to close the open door,” said Harold Kastner of Florida Community Colleges. Faced with the problem of how to weed out potential students, some Florida schools operated under a first-come, first-serve principle, while others ranked students according to residency, citizenship and school standing. “The energy crisis, coupled by the state deficit, hit us hard, explained Kastner. “We ran out of money.” No one is making any bets on what will happen to community colleges in the future. “It nil depends on the economy and on enrollment,” said Edmund J.

Abzug concentrated on the CIA, Ford’s budgetary politics, women’s rights and the general “unrepresentation” of youth, women and minorities in the government. In her indictment of CIA policies, Abzug told of instances in which her mail was opened by intelligence agents. Although she said CIA Director William Colby assured her mail was intercepted in only a few instances, she recalled that the Rockefeller Commission’s Report showed that “the CIA has inspected four and a half million pieces of mail in New York City alone.” Abzug had another run-in with the CIA when she requested her personal file from Colby. She said she did not receive any response until three months later, when she found the file on her desk. She noted that the file was delivered the night before she of the Congressional chairwoman became Sub-Committee on Government Information and Individual Rights. Abzug later pointed out the foolishness of the file’s contents. ‘They had an account of a speech I made in one of the most secret in front of the Forty-Second Street public places library.” - mandatory meeting of Coui Hidden information Summing up of “invisible the issue said accounts of assassination government,” Abzug York City of the New plots, the mock poisoning prove that activities, clandestine subways, and other American from the “these agencies kept things House.” and even the White people, the Congress, “It was through these agencies,” she continued, “in which Nixon sought to take over the country, so we must cleanse them to ensure these types of abuses don’t happen in the future.” Shifting to the problems within the “visible government,” Abzug said “President Ford has violated the spirit of democracy by his unprecedented 49 vetos.” Abzug attributed this to the lack of a popularly elected president. “One would think that based on Ford’s small mandate to govern, he would exercise his constitutional powers with restraint. As a matter of policy. President Ford has denied the very fundamentals of democracy, by preventing people from earning a living and by feeding and housing themselves,” she said. Commenting on the New York City budget crisis, Abzug explained that “the Congress wants to act and will act, but that there is no guarantee that Ford won’t veto it. Ford is playing politics because he knows he won’t get the votes in the urban areas, so he’s more concerned with votes in Peoria than in New York,” she said. National concern Abzug reiterated in a brief press conference that “Congress and the American people realize that a New York City default would affect the whole nation, and that the cities’ problems are due to recession and inflation, making it a national concern.” “Everyone has to sacrifice,” she emphasized. “It’s time that the banks and corporations have some responsibility to return some of the profits they have made off the American people.” Abzug recently introduced a bill within Congress requiring the Federal government to assume a uniform 75 percent of all state welfare costs. Under her plan. New York State would receive an additional one billion dollars in federal aid. Erie County, which has an annual welfare bill of 5114.1 million, would receive an additional $28 million. Abzug claims the crisis in government stems from a non-representation of the needs of certain segments of the population. ‘This country would be totally different if the people discriminated against the youth, women and the minorities could get out and determine the course of this government,” she said. Abzug suggested that if there were fewer “elitist white male lawyers” in Congress, and more women, teachers and young people,” we would never have continued the war in Vietnam. “When you have stag senators, you have stagnation,” she said. - - Women leaders Abzug was insistent that “women have a responsibility to become leaders, and not to build bombs.” She said women would make a difference because “they haven’t had the opportunity to be corrupted by power,” and that within the family structure, women have always “served in the role as the peacemaker in trying to make the home beautiful.” A delegate to the International Women’s Year Conference in Mexico City, Abzug felt one of the most important realizations that “women had no real power.” She admitted that the conference had complications, namely, manipulation from the countries from which the delegates came, countries, which she added, were run by men. Abzug concluded with another sweeping indictment of the “system,” claiming that “this is a period of testing and challenge.” “We have to demand of our candidates not only what they say in their speeches, but on how they are going to go about organizing around their programs.” Wednesday, 22 October 1975 .

The main obstruction was the system not just white people,” he explained. The system “could utilize black people as well as white people,” he added. He said 90 percent of the Gross National Product goes to one percent of the population, headed by the Rockefellers and the Morgans. To illustrate the power the giant monopolies have at their fingertips to use for controlling the police, the courts and politicians, he broke down the Prudential-Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company into some of its Gillette, Sperry Rand, component parts Campbell’s Soup, Chrysler, General Electric and Prudential Insurance. He said the Third World people have always been involved in a struggle against “imperailism,” and giant monopolies, and that black people in America have suffered by Ken Norman Spectrum Staff Writer — violent “If you don’t believe in revolution, you don’t believe in socialism.” “If you’re not talking about armed struggle, you’re not talking about revolution.” Throughout his'speech in Clark Hall last Friday night, Imamu Amiri Baraka (Levoi Jones), stressed the necessity of violent revolution. Baraka is a noted black playwright, poet and chairman of the Congress of African People. Laying down a historical background, Baraka said the civil rights movement in the 1960’s was led by the ”black bourgeoisie.” Malcolm X strove for a black nation based on “black self determination.” This philosophy evolved into Rap Brown’s “Black Power,” Baraka said. He claimed the leaders of the 60’s were all killed off, jailed, or bought off by the Central Intelligence Agency. “We went from ‘Black Power’ in the 60’s to black capitalism in the 70’s,” he said. As a result, there are “black mayors, black congressmen, generals, millionaire athletes with round beds and Rolls-Royces, entertainers with gold Rolls-Royces, and wall-to-wall black beaureaucrats.” — “double oppression” not only through racism, but as workers in relationship to capitalism. Black women suffer “triple oppression,” he observed. Confrontation The Congress of African People believes that forceful overthrow of the U.S. is necessary to end this oppression, he said. “Rockefeller’s not going to wake up in no sweat and say, ‘I been wrong. I’m going to give the money back to the people’,” Baraka joked.

For an estimated one and a half hours, the black poet liberator had this large handful of people in his possession. It was one and a half hours of screaming poetic sanity and deliberation on U.S. political corruption with depth, earnestness, and articulation. One and a half solid hours without hesitation or faultering of loud and angry statements concerning our present lives. Some were offended, if not hurt by his blunt and stark exclamations. Throughout the presentation there were applause and words of appreciation. Others neither clapped nor made a sound, but gazed at Imamu unflinching, taking everything he said with dead seriousness. At the end, many gave him a standing ovation, and I wondered how he managed to stop his talking, such a tireless engergy powerhouse. He told the audience what his plans were. He would speak about black nationalism and the coming of socialism, giving “facts, some basic kinds of insight” and a promise to answer questions. The first part of his talk was concerned a lot with history, black history during the sixties, the American negro’s relation to Africa and various black heroes of the sixties. He gave the details, the plain talking facts about revolution, about the need for violence in order to cause revolution. He quoted Malcolm X like a chant. Much of what he said had a unique kind of rhythm, a complete clarity. When he told us about H. Rap Brown, the crowd went nuts.

Baraka spoke specifically of capitalistic corruption, shooting Rockefeller down ... ... repeatedly. He cited how the laws of our society are kepi to maintain capitalistic corruption, the wrong people are in jail (“criminals running around owning the the government makes nothing of racism, etc., and you couldn’t go on vacation where Nixon and his clan are doing time because you couldn’t afford the luxury, etc. He was shooting facts at us like bullets one atop the other, and through his gist, expressed an anger jails”) but poverty, hot and acute. A lot was said, more than what is shown here, the theme of violence over religion, third world oppression, ‘oats’ Ford, capitalistic monopolies, he had a lot to say, but I’ll leave it at that. You might say 1 found it interesting and was not very upset that he didn’t recite any of his poems. �Rising expectations Toronto held together by appeal and charm by Fredda Cohen Feature Editor famous Toronto subway is litehlly spotless. The buildings compose a mixture of old and new. While many of them resemble ancient palaces, constructed of large stones and ornate decoration, the modern City Hall towers over them, two striking white structures, arched towards each other. Additionally, the 56-floor Dominion Tower offers a view of the entire city. Ninety-six acre Ontario Place, built on three man-made islands in the center of Lake Ontario, is functional as well as beautiful. The park has an 8,000 seat amphitheatre, multi-media and experimental theaters, tour boats, boutiques, pubs, and a large Children’s Village. The exhibits are closed during the winter, but the park is in use 24 hours year-round. With all the talk these days about large cities on the decline, Toronto still boasts bright lights, clean streets, proud citizens and rising expectatipns. The center of EnglishCanadianism, Toronto, is patterned after London and combines the best of four worlds French refinement, American technology, British government and Canadian ecological concern, according to Canadian representative Bernard Ferrier. It is the capital of the province of Ontario, and has a population of about 2 Vi million, making it the second largest city in Canada and one of the ten-most populous cities in North America. Toronto was founded by the French in 1749 as Fort Rouille, destroyed by the British in 1759, and replaced by Fort York.

Page five �NPCA efforts Environment, wildlife still in danger despite concern Despite the recent popularity of the ecology movement, America’s wildlife is still endangered, and the environmental situation continues to deteriorate, claims the National Parks and Conservation Association (NPCA). The NPCA says that the government agencies charged with protecting the flora and fauna of the national parks, and air and water quality, have been neglecting their duties. The NPCA points to the fact that there are now only about 180 grizzly bears left in the lower 48 states, and that their numbers are depleted every year by hunters who legally shoot them outside of the national park boundaries during migration times. In contrast, the NPCA notes that vast sums of money have been raised to protect the 2000 remaining tigers in India. The problem of waterfowl poisoning is another serious issue, the NPCA insists, and one that could be rectified with a reasonable amount of exertion. The group explains that lead shot poisoning takes the lives of over 2.5 million birds every year, but that these deaths are not caused by wounds, but by the birds’ ingestion of the shot. A ban on lead shot, as the Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed, would eliminate lead poisoning among waterfowl, while giving hunters an opportunity to hunt using steel shot, which has been available since the 1940’s. Hazy horizons Air quality is being threatened in the southwestern part of the country by the Four Corners Power Plant, which is located in the midst of a cluster of national parks in New Mexico, Utah, Colorado and Arizona. Emissions from this plant have reportedly produced a haze reaching 150 miles to the north and 150 miles to the southwest. The NPCA, founded in 1919 as an independent organization, now claims some 50,000 members. Its establishing direct working main focus is of the executive branch agencies with relationships of the government, in order to benefit the Endangered redwoods The NPCA has been fighting in California for years to protect the redwood forests, which are being threatened. The destruction of the watersheds and the forests around Redwood Park has resulted in considerable damage by flooding and siltation. The NPCA maintains that since the government is not exercising its legal authority to protect the redwoods, conservationist groups must mount an environment. effort to demand immediate action.

This past summer a University of Texas coed was dragged from a city laundromat at knife-point and raped in a nearby field. Early in September, a Colorado College woman was raped by two men while she and her boyfriend slept campus outside near campus. In spite of harsher legislation against and the growing popularity of women’s self-defense classes, rape still runs rampant on college campuses where young women often walk alone at night. College students have a false sense of security because they feel secluded, a Deputy District Attorney in Colorado Springs said. But “colleges are no longer sacrosanct; they have become target areas,” warned a Colorado College dean. According to FBI statistics, there is one rape every ten minutes nationally. National statistics also indicate that 50 percent of rapists know their victims. But knowing the attacker has rarely helped a woman escape him successfully. To elude a rapist, the woman should either outwit him emotionally, as one expert advises, or defend herslef physically as others rapists Do not panic Self-defense classes, which have been springing up on campuses all over the country, train women to react more confidently to surprise encounters. “The courses are effective,” one instructor said, “because they teach a person not to panic.” Most of the college self-defense courses, often offered for regular credit, teach women to protect themselves using a smattering of martial arts and common sense. Women are taught to use their hands and feet in punching, stabbing and kicking motions. Other measures involve the use of pressure points, such as the eyes and throat which are very vulnerable. •“Women have been conditioned to believe that they can’t defend themselves,” an Iowa Rape Crisis Center worker said. “But there are things women can learn to do to prevent rape. We don’t always have to give in to men.” But one man who believes the rapist should be appeased rather than aggravated is Frederic Storaska, author of a book on rape and a lecturer on the college circuit. Storaska believes that the woman’s best defense against a rapist is to “alter his inferiority complex.” To achieve this, Storaska said, the woman should try to evoke pity for herself. She could tell him she’s pregnant or handicapped or that she had been raped by her stepfather while an adolescent. The best method of all, Storaska said, is to go along with him. “If you treat him like a recommend. The rapist, according to a Denver, Colorado policeman, usually “tests" the victim before he attacks. He will make some suggestive remark and if the reaction is frightened uncertainty or embarassment, raving maniac, then believe me, he won’t disappoint you,” Storaska warned. Changes in law While colleges install elaborate security to keep stranger’s off-campus and campus men’s groups set up escort services, state legislatures have joined in the battle against rape. At least 10 states changed their rape laws in 1974 and 12 other revisions in state’s laws were under consideration. The changes marked the beginning of a shift in society’s attitude away from considering the victim the provocateur of attacks. In many states, new rape laws specify that evidence of a rape victim’s sexual conduct other than with the defendant cannot be introduced at the suspect’s trial unless the victim introduces it. In other states, victims no longer need medical evidence of a rape. Now a rape victim’s word that she was raped is sufficient evidence that a rape actually occurred. devices Another legislative change concerned the definition of rape and sexual assault. In many states, if a sexual assault occurred, but not a rape per se, the assailant was charged- only with disorderly conduct which in most places is only a misdemeanor carrying a maximum sentence of six months in jail. Both Michigan and Iowa broadened the definitions of criminal sexual assault last year and set different punishments for different degrees of assault. Women’s groups have been credited with the new impetus for revising rape laws. But lawmakers often agreed that raditional rape laws had put the wrong person on trial. “Skepticism toward women was built into the laws but it wasn’t necessary,” New York Assistant District Attorney Jack Litman said, “since it already existed in the police, the jury, the judges, even the DA’s office. What we’re getting now is just long-needed balancing.” MobT 1 Bob and Don's Serving North S' South Campuses Towing (CPS) What is likely to be the definitive work on the frisbee has been compiled by a Grove, California practicing psychiatrist. In a 221-page treatise, Dr. Stancil Johnson explores the history of the saucer, as well as frisbee aerodynamics, turbulance in flight and medical problems for frisbee players. - Johnson’s interest in the frisbee goes beyond the book, however. He has written Forest Lawn Memorial Parks and Mortuaries requesting that upon death, his body be cremated and mixed with the finest grade raw industrial polyethylene to make 25 high-quality, professional model frisbees. Forest Lawn, however, has only agreed to the cremation Blue jean blues (CPS) Blue jean afficionados are paying more at the market these days. In the past year, the price of a pair of Levi’s has doubled. Increased consumer demand for blue jeans has created a shortage of cotton, the major ingredient in denim, the Levi Strauss company reports. And the shortage of cotton, aided by inflation, has jacked up the cost of blue jeans. Company officials don’t anticipate that a higher price tag will keep customers away. “There’s no end in sight,” said one Levi Strauss employee, referring to the sales potential of blue jeans. The jean look is so popular that Levi Strauss has expanded its sportswear line to include jumpers, more skirts, trenchcoats, bathing suits, and recently denim tuxedos. - - - It used to be different (CPS) South Carolina students just aren’t that interested in sex anymore, if the enrollment in a - Carolina short course in The course was indication. lovemaking cancelled this year due to lack of student interest.

Every Monday night at 7 p.m., they filled the ampitheater with 300 to 400 people.” Bryan said attendance dropped, either because “the excitement wore off or everyone knew what they wanted to. Only a handful of students started attending and 1 just felt it was no longer needed.” What the University needs now, Bryan said, is a course in the psychological implications of sex or a course on venereal disease. • & RoadService Complete car service - SPECIAL - I STUDENT DISCOUNT On Repairs With i.D. 1375 AAillersport Hwy.

Ronnie Selk Laura Bartlett To the Editor: As a past employee of Food Service, and a sympathizer with the letter appearing in The Spectrum on Monday Oct. 20, I am writing this letter. If for no other reasons, Food Service should be boycotted for skyrocketing prices, poor quality of food, and the haphazard dismissals of employees. Food Service is also infested with roaches. These unsanitary conditions, for which students are paying exhorbitant prices to perpetuate, must be rectified. I find it truly abhorrant to be joined for lunch by a four-legged insect. Food Service is a necessary evil on this campus which all students must endure. I know that bugs are considered a delicacy in some countries. Alas, I feel that most students would rather not ingest these pests. We as students are being ripped each time we purchase something to eat or drink from Food Service. These conditions should not be allowed to continue. Apathy is all too accepted on this campus. As students we must unite, boycott Food Service and flood Director Don Hosey’s office with letters until this terrible problem is corrected. A former employee �rfe.pRe&WNT THE —OfUTECLSTATES! OF <S>n7<r fag*. Broader, sports coverage To the Editor. I would like to identify the direction towards which The Spectrum's sports staff policy is headed. It would seem that those areas of campus life that are not predominate are devoid of attention. A recent conversation with the sports editor led me to believe that “club” sports necessarily exert lower Minority advancement To the Hditor While reading Philip Moran’s commentary on discrimination against blacks in today’s job market (The Spectrum October 15), it became apparent to me that his evaluation does not accurately reflect the situation. The major inadequacy of the analysis is the author’s reliance upon anachronous statistics as , supporting evidence his opinion Social and economic attitudes toward the black in America have taken many steps forward since compilation of the quoted 1972 statistics. Job promotion figures dating as far back as 1960 are of little significance when analyzing the condition in 1975. It is evident that racial discrimination existed in most areas of economic life in the 1960’s. The recent federal legislation requiring non-discriminatory hiring practices, however, is beginning to have its desired effects. Many companies, (especially large corporations), and industries that handle government contracts, are either required to hire employees on a quota basis or have adopted “affirmative action” programs. Sears, Roebuck and Co., for example, requests that its employees sign a statement agreeing “. , . to make special effort to attract new minority . . . employees to Sears, and, where their present level of skill and knowledge might not be sufficient for a particular job, to assist them . .” It is true that in the current labor force most blacks are situated near the bottom with respect to such criteria as income, job status and unemployment rates. This condition is the residual effect of the structure of past American society. Under current non-discriminatory practices, blacks are being offered opportunities to raise themselves above the lower level they presently occupy. Whites in the same economic class as the bulk of minorities, however, are not generally being offered similar opportunities. The best method of presenting a undistorted view of the results of current hiring practices is not to quote statistics referring to the quantity of blacks in professional and managerial occupations. These occupations, especially upper level managerial positions, are usually filled with persons who have advanced over many years through the various levels of a business. No one, regardless of race, can expect to be given a job of this nature without working up . level. To expect an immediate increase from the current “three to five percent” blacks in management is cleArly unreasonable. What should be evaluated is the increasing proportion of black workers entering corporations at the previously restricted lower levels, from which they can advance. The effects of affirmative action policies are long run; the statistics of the future are the ones that will show how effective the non-discriminatory activities of today are. It is immediately clear, however, that discrimination against blacks in the present job market is far below the level at which it was in the 1960’s and early 1970’s. Blacks and whites are beginning to effectively work together without the economic exploitation of blacks which W.E.B. Dubois claimed to be a requisite of ■ to such a capitalism. potential impact upon the university community. He appeared to feel that, due to the imperative coverage of varsity sports (e.g. wrestling, basketball, etc.), there was no room in the paper for club sports. I find this attitude especially disconcerting, coming from someone with a city background behind him. I worry that this attitude of dealing only with the biggest will permeate the sports section as a whole and prevent it from seeing many informative and varied sources of potential improvement. I shudder to think that the editor is content to simply take up where others have left off without adding something imaginative of his own. The recent story on the Watkins Glen Grand Prix leads me to believe that he is capable of reporting events other than those which have a great effect on the University. I credit the editor with the ability to courageously abandon precedent in search of uniqu and stimulating material. To consider the majc (mostly male) varsity sports as the sum total c interesting sources is to do The Spectrum, it readers, and himself gross injustice. Bill I eke. Corrected quote To the Editor I would appreciate very much if you corrected what was published in the October 17 issue of The Spectrum, in the article, ""Foreign Panelists Discuss Roles of Men and Women in the World.” What I said in the panel discussion was that the Brazilian women constitute only 20 percent of the labor force in the country, and that two-thirds of those 20 percent work in the fields, and not “two-thirds of the country’s field work is done by women,” which is absurd. Neusa Long United Nations deceit To the Editor* Those of us who had placed our hopes for a peaceful world in the United Nations were profoundly shocked by the recent action of the U.N. Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee. In voting 70-29 with 27 abstentions that “Zionism is a form of racism and racial discrimination” the Committee showed utter disregard for the facts and for moral standards. U.S. Delegate Leonard Garment hit the nail right on the head when he commented: “This is an obscene actr This resolution places the work of the United Nations in jeopardy.” He further called it a “supreme act of deceit” and a “massive attack on the moral realities of the world. Under the guise of a Element program to eliminate racism, the United Nations is at the point of officially endorsing anti-Semitism, one of the oldest and most virulent forms of racism known to human history.” It is indeed a sad day for the U.N. and for all peace loving people when 70 nations, consisting mainly of the Communist and Arab blocks, team up to destroy every vestige of moral stature which the U N. needs in order to realize its high goals. It is a day matched in moral corruption only by the day a few months ago on which a standing ovatign was given to a terrorist who unabashedly displayed the terrorist gun while addressing the world forum of peace.

Nightlife When the sun goes down in Toronto, the streets become alive with glaring neon-lights and loud music. And people. The downtown streets are filled with people, gazing at shops, testing out bars and restaurants, listening to musicians playing in the streets. The night life in Toronto is as loud and brash as New York City, but friendlier. Yonge Street is the city’s main drag and social nucleus. Merchants keep their shops open late, while craftsmen line the streets with jewelry, leather goods and other works lined up neatly on tables. The people are always congenial The downtown area also has many crowded discotheques and bars. Most of these places serve food as well as liquor, and have fairly small, packed dance floors. It is possible to get any type of nourishment on Yonge Street, from McDonald’s to a five-course Italian dinner. Mr.Submarine, which offers a limited, but cheap menu, stands on practically every corner. Toronto’s Chinatown is two blocks from City Hall. Numerous restaurants and food shops occupy this area, as well as stores that sell Chinese pottery, materials, novelties, books, magazines and posters. All this and only 90 miles from Buffalo.

After Ford near-misses by Paul Buttino Spectrum Staff Writer The issue of gun control looms in the forefront of many discussions in the wake of President Ford’s recent brushes with would-be assassins. New York State is said to have the toughest gun control laws in the country, but these laws are merely to license an individual’s constitutional right to keep and bear arms. There is no guarantee that the person who usually keeps a shotgun locked in a desk drawer will not succumb to certain pressures and inflict harm on others. In one such case, witnessed recently by a South Buffalo police officer, a man walked into a precinct, pulled a gun on an officer and threatenedhis life. Before a pistol permit is issued in N.Y. State, the applicant’s mental health is checked with the Department of Mental Hygiene. Quadruplicate sets of fingerprints are taken. One is sent to Albany for criminal identification, a second is forwarded to the FBI in Washington, D.C., and the remaining two cards are kept on file with the Investigating authority and the state police in Albany. After the investigation, the applicant must go before a judge (James Kane in Erie County) to explain why he or.she needs to carry a weapon. Good reasons “There are 7,600. reasons for strong gun laws the 7,600 murders in which guns were used in committing them,” a recent Los Angeles Times editorial said. Harold Schroeder, director of the Shooter’s Committee on Political Education (SCOPE), said there are 20,000 gun-related laws and ordinances in the U.S. “We don’t need more gun laws," Shroeder said. “We need to enforce the one’s we have.” Many lawyers argue that the second amendment to the constitution which states that a well regulated militia and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is necessary to the security of a free state, only protects the military’s, not the individual citizen’s right to bear firearms. They state two U.S. Supreme Court cases to U.S.v. Cruikshank support their inteipretation (1875), and U.S.v. Adams (1935) which — — - concluded that “the right to bear arms is not granted by the. constitution,” and the Second Amendment refers to the militia, not to individual rights. The Supreme Court also ruled in 1939 that at the time the Second Amendment was drafted, men enlisted in the militia were expected to come prepared for military service by supplying their own arms. This is no longer the case. A recent Gallup Poll found that 25 percent of the households queried admitted to owning at least one gun. Based on this finding, it’s been estimated that there are about 200 million private guns in this country. Of these, however, only 20'million are licensed. The others fall under the categories of collector’s items, or trap and target guns. Saturday night specials Statistics have also shown that the majority of murders are committed with guns and the majority of these are handguns. The results of a study by the Chicago Police Department pointed to the fact that guns are the" most dangerous and readily available individual weapons. President John Kennedy was assassinated with a mail-order rifle. Since then, the laws have been changed so that weapons may no longer be purchased through the mail. However, guns are still easy to obtain. On the Black Market, for example, an unregistered handgun can be had for under $20. Lynette (Squeaky) Fromme and Sarah Jane Moore proved to America that presidential assassinations can happen at any time, even with strict precautions. Ford’s secret servicemen knew Fromme, a member of the Charles Manson family, was in town the day of her attempted assassination of the President. However, she was not under surveillance. Even more astonishing was the fact that Moore was picked up with a pistol on the day she shot at Ford, but was set free after subsequent questioning. Karl Heiser, a Cincinnati psychologist, said in a recent Los Angeles Times article that about 10,000 psycho gun-addicts lived in his community. “Many sexually inadequate men drive fast, powerful cars to make them feel sexually potent, while others use guns as sex symbols,” Heiser wrote.

The Buffalo Wrestling team will host the Polish National Wrestling team on November 1 at 7:30 p.m. in Clark Hall. Later in the month, the basketball Bulls will host the Barbados National Basketball team. The Polish team will face a squad of present and former Buffalo mat stars, according to wrestling coach Ed Michael. Michael will have to assemble a -strong team since the Polish wrestlers have won several gold and silver medals in both Olympic and World competition. Ex-stars to compete the former Buffalo stars that are participate are Jim Young, Emad to expected Faddoul, Charlie Wright, Bill Jacoutot and Tony Policare. Young compiled the best record ever in dual competition for a Buffalo wrestler. Faddoul has a chance to wrestle for the Lebanese National Team in the upcoming 1976 Olympics, and was a star on last year’s nationally ranked Buffalo team, as was Young and Wright. Policare represented the Bulls several years ago. He is Among Veteran’s football currently an assistant coach at Slippery Rock, and last year finished third in the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) Championships. The match will be played under Olympic rules, which puts more emphasis on the feet and pinning the opponent than NCAA rules do. The remaining half of the match will be Greco-Roman wrestling, which does not allow any holds below the waist. The UB Veterans Association (VA) has been challenged to a football game by the Niagara University VA to be played here this Friday, October 25.

Athletic exchange The match came about as part of a cultural exchange program. Harvey Rogers, Wrestling Chairman of the Niagara district of the AAU, first approached Michael with the idea of hosting the Poles. “We feel that this is very good for the University, the community and our program,” said M Chael Ml Because of the AAU’s involvement, Buffalo will Polish not have to pay for the cost of bringing the team here.

The Bulls were ranked-tenth in New York State, marking the first time in Buffalo history that a soccer team has earned such a distinction. “They definitely were up,” said Buffalo coach Sal Esposito. “It gave them something to protect.” Buffalo protected its new ranking well by whipping Geneseo 5-3 at Rotary Field. Last year, the Knights beat the Bulls 3-0, but according to Esposito, the big difference was in the refereeing. ‘The refs refused to call physical violence [last year),” he noted and “they (Geneseo) played a very physical game.” If Geneseo plays a very physical game, they also play a very-sloppy game. Twice within a one-minute period in the first half, a Geneseo player deflected a pass or shot by Buffalo into the Knights goal. Easy come, easy go Yet it wouldn’t be fair to claim that Geneseo handed the game to Buffalo, since as Esposito pointed out, the Bulls also gave away one goal. Emmanuel Kulu, who was playing defense as a replacement for the injured Wain Reid, intercepted a Geneseo pass and then tried to pass it back to goalie Brian Smaszcz. This is a common tactic since the goalie can "j Up to $1.25 OFF on orders of chicken wings Now!

However, instead of passing to Smaszcz, Kulu gave it right to Geneseo’s Bobby Ceran, who then shot it into the net for Geneseo’s only first half goal. Buffalo’s remaining goals were earned. Buffalo’s Mike Pietrasik opened the scoring at 12:48. He took a pass from Pete Weidler and then got hit by a Geneseo player, but still managed to send the ball into the upper left-hand corner of the goal. Daddario tips in two George Daddario tapped in two rebounds to build the Bulls’ lead to 5-1 after one minute of play in the second half. Up to this point, Buffalo was dominating the action. Then, everything turned. For a while it seemed Buffalo could not get the ball out of its end, and when it did, the players had difficulty mounting an attack. “They (Geneseo) were up for it in the second half,” Esposito explained. “Our guys were playing the man’s feet instead of the ball. That makes a big difference.” Geneseo managed to score two goals in the second half, and should have had a third when Bob Behrens missed an open net, but Buffalo’s defense proved to be just strong enough to preserve the win. The Bulls, now 7-2 on the year, will face McMaster University this afternoon at Rotary Field at 3 p.m., hoping to improve its high ranking even more.

The REPRINTEO Page fourteen . FROM THE OCTOBER 1975 ISSUE OF READER'S DI6EST The Spectrum . Wednesday, 22 October 1975 companies estimate that this regulation will add at least 75 cents to the retail cost of each tire. In other words, according to the manufacturers, if you buy four tires, you will pay $3 for both symbols you can’t understand and additional testing that will add nothing to the safety already required hy previous regulations. Presumably, astute consumers will bone up on traction, wear and heatgeneration information before they buy their tires. We must ask ourselves Is this regulation really worth the cost ? Another example: flammability standards for upholstered furniture suggested by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The regulations, aimed principally at cigarettecaused fires, are expected to increase prices of upholstered sofas and armchairs by up to 25 percent. The furniture industry fears that the standards could eliminate about 70 percent of fabrics now made for upholstery. If we, through our surrogates, decide that it is correct for the government to impose such flammability standards, then we must be prepared to pay the cost the next time we buy a couch. And we may not like the feel or look of the newer, nonflammable fabrics. What all this means is that we, as part of a complex and interrelated economy, cannot merely wish for or advocate some benefit for a “remote” part of our society. We must also be prepared to accept a part of the financial burden. Arc we prepared to pay higher electric bills when we ask a utility in our area to provide years.

But when it comes to social goals, we may not be fully aware of the facts, mainly because the decision-making is in the hands of our surrogates— Congressmen and regulatory-agency officials. Whether the decisions they make for us are wise or unwise is ultimately decided by the voters—although it may take a long time. But whether these decisions will cost us money has already been immutably decided by economic reality. Americans, for instance, have spent an estimated S2.4 billion extra on their automobiles since 1972 to. accommodate various government-mandated combinations of wires, lights and buzzers to force them to buckle their scat belts. Ordered “on behalf of” the public, these devices proved to be overwhelmingly unpopular, and the law requiring them was finally rescinded by Congress as a “social goal” not worth the cost.

The cut, which was the fifth since the gym was originally proposed in 1972, was made without any input from the Athletic Department. In May of 1975, the facility was reduced by 29,998 net square feet. This cutback was accepted by the Athletic Department, although it was considered a drop below the tolerable level, because of an understanding that the Construction Fund would not impose any further cutbacks. The latest cutback was due to a miscalculation on the part ol the Construction Fund which had planned to include more room in the building than could possibly be contained within its walls. Martin McIntyre, assistant Dean of the School of Health Education and the person in charge of planning the new gym, believes a miscalculation ol this sort is inexcusable by a professional staff. Strange restriction Furthermore, McIntyre has not been allowed to speak directly with the Construction Fund or the chief architect. The Facilities Planning office was also told it cannot communicate with the architect. McIntyre helped plan four similar facilities in the past, and he said he had never encountered a restriction such as this before. He also said he did not know why the Construction Fund imposed this restriction. Student Athletic Review Board Chairman Dennis Delia also pointed out that the Amherst Gym was the first major project ever done by the architect. “This latest action [the communications restriction) once more points out the lack of flexibility in the state's bureaucratic processes, and is a violation of the principles ol programming and design,” Delia said. In terms of individual items, the cut means a reduction in the fieldhouse seating from 10,000 to 7,500; the triple gymnasium will be reduced to a double gym; the number of handball courts will be reduced from 18 to 12 and squash courts from 8 to 6; all lounges in the gym have been removed; and a doubling up in all offices will be necessary. Too small “For a campus of this size, the gym we are getting is absurd,” Delia said. He noted that the gym will be smaller than Brockport's. even though the student population there is one-quarter of this University’s. He also pointed out that there are now six squash courts in Clark Hall and these are not nearly sufficient. “The conditions we have now are going to be continued," Delia said. Delia added that most of the cuts were designed to save as much of the fieldhouse as possible since it could be used for concerts and other non-athletic functions, making it more valuable to the University. The pool was also spared from being cut, although it could be in danger if more cuts are forthcoming. McIntyre’s failure to contact the architect also has led to some The fieldhouse, with a capacity of 7,500, has only design one entrance. Not only is this possibly a violation of local fire ordinances, but it could lead to massive problems before and after games, Delia said. Additionally, the proposed gym does not have a women’s locker and the men’s locker room is nowhere near the equipment room. room, Help on the way? McIntyre does not expect to get any help from President Robert Ketter or the administration. “I don’t think they can help us because of the communications restriction and the economic situation in the state,” McIntyre said. President Ketter is on record as saying “Three-quarters of the chicken is better than none,” in reference to the Amherst Gym. Delia and Student Association President Michele Smith are planning to meet with members of the Construction Fund in Albany this week to discuss the problem. “We’re going to insist on a rollback of the latest reductions,” Delia said. “We’re going to do our best to change their policites.” He has already obtained the backing of the Student Association of the State University (SASU). “The people who are suffering in the end are the students,” Delia Said. “Every day that we delay, the gym gets smaller and smaller.” Feature Editor Creative Arts Therapy reaches beyond the ordinary realm of verbal communications through the use of art, music, dance and poetry. As greater creativity is exhibited, the patient becomes more self aware and sociable. The creative are arts used to stimulate personal sensations of shape', size, texture, color, spatial movements and sound. This type of therapy provides freedom and self expression, and yet maintains a sense of order and structure. Kor a patient who asks himself “Who am I?” art becomes a means for experimenting and exploring one’s feelings. “People the language of art,” explained internalize •C.eorgianna Jungles, an art therapist at Buffalo State College. "Pointers, craftsmen, musicians and dancers may function belter through their own chosen medium of expression than trying to subordinate it to the verbal model of psychotherapy.” said Curt Boenheim in the American Journal of Art Therapy. Art therapy “I have to respect students who will think of and design a program for themselves,” she said, but added that she hoped a formal program to establish proper training would be established. therapy training began around the end of II with the return of war veterans. In an effort to rehabilitate some of these soldiers, Marian Chase utilized dance therapy, training “people who were interested in dance and reflected a lot of their inner self in their dancing.” Like art therapy, an enormous interest emeged in dance therapy in the 1960’s. Music therapy, one of the oldest, consists of Dance World War four components singing, rhythmics, body movement and listening. This therapy is designed to increase the patient’s concentration, memory retention, conceptual development, rhythmic responses, movement behavior, verbal and non-verbal retention and auditory and visual discriminatiotK “Through group interaction, social responses and self-esteem are increased,” said Ruth Spero, music therapist at the Buffalo Psychiatric Hospital. Music therapy is practiced on a one-to-one basis. The music therapist must have a thorough anthropology. knowledge of music, sociology, — therapy is usually practiced in groups, it is not necessarily a group activity. Besides working with in-patients in psychiatric hospitals, therapists also work in children’s centers, Art although mental health clinics, public and private schools, university counseling centers, prisons, ghetto service centers, residential treatment centers and research centers. Many have their own private practices. Although painting, for instance, is an essentially individual activity, it may offer a person a comfort’able opportunity for social exchange. The art gives the therapist a personal insight into the artist's personality. Movement, sound or image "Through a movement, sound or image, a person’s verbal interactions with the therapist may increase." said Jungles. She stressed, however, that "these therapies are suggested lor persons who have limited verbal skills." A major difference between art therapy and art education entails the emphasis on skills. In art therapy, skills and art techniques are used to facilitate personal experience. If loo much technique is stressed, this might inttrfere with the non-verbal However, knowledge ol art communication education is useful to the application of art therapy. I he foundation lor art therapy was laid sometime in the late ITJO’s, although its largest growth has been within the last ’0 years. The American Art Therapy Association, founded in 1969, began with 25 members and currently has well over 1,200. In Buffalo. Buff State offers the only formal art therapy program which includes a masters program in art education, concentrating on art as therapy. It is also possible to get an art therapy degree at this University, through the special majors program. Dance therapy Dance therapy has gained broader recognition in the last decade, but Davida Navarre, who teaches a course in dance therapy at this University, believes that proper training has not been adequately emphasized. “Dance therapy is such a powerful therapeutictool, that the therapist should have a background in psychotherapy techniques as well as training in movement awareness,” she stated. The dance therapist moves with the person or the people in the group by reflecting their style in his or her own movement, she explained. This should hopefully make it easier for them to express feelings and emotions that are a part of them, but have been difficult to realize and/or communicate. Navarre sees dance therapy as an approach to psychotherapy. “My own approach is to combine movement and verbal modes tacitly, using movement when the individual seems to be stuck in the words, or when a person doesn't seem to have strong sense of him/herself as an entity. Then 1 use words to help the individual integrate the experience.” When Navarre came to the University this semester, she found that some students had already established a special dance major. « psychology and biology. To be recognized by the National Association for Music .Therapy, one must have a bachelor of arts degree in music therapy and experience six months of clinical training in an approved training area. The only such program in Western New York exists in Buffalo Psychiatric Hospital. Spero said a music therapy course was being planned for next semester at this University. Poetry is probably the least known of all the therapies. “Poetry helps people handle their feelings, by stirring up, releasing or calming emotions," wrote Jack Leedy in Poetry the Healer. Writing poetry also has a healing effect, especially when the poem is produced spontaneously Poetry therapy “When he (the patient) tells himself that he is writing a poem, he is opening the door to freedom of expression. He is saying that he does not have to make anyone understand him, and that he does not have to involve anyone in particular,” explained Leedy. Fiction and fact may be used in conjunction with each other, without explanation. The person is free to use words and images. In many settings, a team of therapists is used, depending on the situation. The team might include an exceptional education teacher, an occupational therapist, a physician, a psychiatrist and an art therapist. The communication between patient and therapist is very important. As Jungles said, “people are turned on to the therapist as well as the therapy.” �Scottsboro Nine Alabama prisons: hellholes These conditions have given rise to an inmate resistance movement in the 1970’s, spearheaded by Inmates For Action (IFA). The 1FA, which grew out of a spontaneous sitdown strike in 1972, viewed itself not only as a vehicle to fight for fundamental human rights within the prison system of prison struggle. Alabama, but as a means to attain basic technical and political by Brian Land education, through sharing and Spectrum Staff Writer teaching each other.

Suspicious death Meanwhile, a move is underway to IFA Chairman Dobbins had Two former from the Atmore Prison Farm in Alabama will speak about the phson movement they helped form on Wednesday, October 22 at 7:30 p.m. in Room 148 Diefendorf. The following commentary provides background information on the Alabama Editor’s note: inmates ‘ been shot and wounded but conversed with inmates while being carried out on a stretcher. Yet he was pronounced dead on arrival at Mobile General Hospital with nine ax-like wounds. Eyewitnesses jwear that these cuts had to be made after Dobbins was removed from the prison yard with Escambia County Sheriff Scotty Byrnes. Forty-one inmates were indicted on charges stemming from the rebellion in which a guard was killed also. However, no one has ever been charged with Dobbins’ murder. In March 1973, a trustee found a “death list” of IFA leaders on the warden’s desk which included restore the death penalty through a law which makes it mandatory for first degree murder. Overcrowding at all levels of the penal system has long been a problem and recently reached epidemic proportion. Prisoners often have minimal room even for sleeping. Health care is nonexistent, facilitating the spread of disease and infection.

Four I FA members have been killed and the remainder suffer constant harassment and frequent transfers between Dobbins, prisons. Housewife and student worth the same, report says The typical housewife contributes as (CPS) much to the U.S. economy as the typical student, retiree or person in an institution, according to a recent Socal Security Administration study called “The Economic Value of a Housewife.” There are 35.2 million women currently keeping house in the U.S. The Social Security Administration computed their worth strictly on the physical or mechanical tasks they perform. The conclusion was that housework is valued at between $5,300 and $7,500 a year. Before this study, the Social Security Administration used the average domestic’s salary as the value of a housewife. Others occasionally threw in prostitute’s fees as part of the calculation. — Splattered pie prompts battery charges It used to be funny when the dullest (CPS) professor got a pie in the face during last year’s pie throwing fad. It wasn’t very funny, however, when a professor chased a pie thrower out of the classroom and pressed battery charges against him. But last month the pie thrower got off the hook temporarily when a Kansas District Court jury couldn’t make up its mind.

The awards have been reserved for men since they were established in 1902, based on a stipulation later formalized by an act of Parliament in the will of Cecil Rhodes, a British diamon millionaire and founder of the scholarships. Feminists have repeatedly criticized the awards for being openly discriminatory against women. The Rhodes trustees award 75 scholarships annually, with each scholarship providing about $5,000 a year for two year’s of study at Oxford — — - University.

These- defendants became known as the Atmore-Holman Brothers. During their brief trials, often lasting less than a day, two brothers were found guilty ot murder; two were found guilty of murder and assault with intent to murder; two others were declared innocent when the state’s witnesses contradicted themselves too often. The Atmore-Holman Brothers Defense Committee is organizing a tour of the northeast by Mafundi and Lumpen. Mafundi served all but four months of a thirteen-year sentence for allegedly stealing $38 from a service station despite conclusive evidence that he was elsewhere when the crime was committed and an eyewitness description of the thief did not fit him. At one point, Mafundi spent 126 days in a row in the dog house (no bed, no clothes, no light, no heat, bread and water every other day, etc.) for his participation in the inmate movement. Since his release from prison, he has been arrested eleven times, and charged twice. Once the charges were dropped before he went to trial and the other time, they were dropped after about five minutes into the trial. �Discontent with bookstore gudl&y expressed by /qcaftp A subcommittee of the Faculty Senate hits expressed disapproval with the quality of the University Bookstore, according to . last Thursday’s Reporter. The committee also recommended that the firm of Barnes and Noble be awarded the contract for the bookstore planned for the proposed commercial development project on the Amherst Campus. The Reporter cited numerous reasons for the faculty’s discontent with the University Bookstore’s services. Members of the committee complained that the Bookstore stocks an inadequate selection on non-required books, forging faculty to do much of their book-buying by mail. A better bookstore could afford to stock more trade books, explained one committee member, because it would attract thousands of dollars of faculty business now' being lost. Too many non-book items The Reporter also mentioned faculty criticism that the Bookstore management is not sufficiently responsive to the needs of faculty and “serious students,” in part, because its “protected” financial status makes it relatively invulnerable to the kind of consumer pressure that would influence a commercial bookseller. The over-abundance of non-book items is another source of discontent to ", Not a library “We’re not a library, and we are not selling (trade) books. I’m concerned that we don’t have a more representative selection, but we do try,” Moore said. Edward Doty, vice President for Finance and Management said the bookstore limits its supply of trade books because of a lack of space. Faculty Senate the However, secs “the primary Committee said it function of a good college bookstore as educational, to offer the academic community a large selection of significant books in the major disciplines.” The committee’s analysis of the Bookstore’s role conflicts with Doty’s, which holds that the Bookstore should serve primarily as a clearinghouse for required texts and a convenient source of school supplies. Non-required books must come second to these priorities. Doty said. New bookstore John Latona, President of the UBF Corporation, which was created to implement commercial development on the Amherst Campus, approved of the ability, that so motivation and individual choice become the only factors that come, the years In education must become more responsive to changing conditions and the objectives of students. There must be more options in attendance patterns, more diversity of programs among and within individual institutions, and to greater enrichment of programs. These are proposals made by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education, summed up in a 1975 report entitled The College Student and Higher Education Policy. Proposals were aimed at post-high education more accessible to all potential students and more relevant to their diversified making interests. The number school of students enrolled on college campuses across the country has increased dramatically from 3,789,000 in 1960 to 9,571,000 in 1973. Less obvious, but possibly even more important, has been the growing diversity of college students. Increasingly, they come from all income groups and ethnic backgrounds, and have divergent political orientations and personal lifestyles. Their interests, abilities and career goals vary determine college attendance. Scores on standardized tests in college admissions decisions. Relying to such a great extent upon test scores implies a precision in the differing abilities of students that the Commission feels does not exist. “The more reliance placed upon a single test taken on a single day, without any other record that might possibly give a different picture of the student’s total performance . . . the more unfair the process is to the students, the greater the anxiety, and the less comprehensive the picture of the student’s ability,” the Commission states. The Commission calls for more experimentation with admissions requirements in all colleges and universities. This is especially needed at the most selective ones, whose practices tend to be copied weigh /* . committee memocrs Thomas E.

The committee selected Barnes and Noble since it has had experience running college bookstores. The firm has an excellent reputation in this respect, committee members said. But Latona stressed that since the UBF Corporation has not yet obtained a lease from the State University of New York for the commercial development, no tenants for the bookstore have yet been pursued. heavily elsewhere. Many After the matter of the lease is settled, Latona said, “1 will endeavor to get the best possible tenant, in terms of both quality of service and quality of the lease.” The committee also recommended to Latona that plans for the new bookstore include a faculty committee with student participation. Such a plan should be stipulated in a contract with Barnes and Noble, members said.

Feeble-minded Kamin recalled an I.Q. test administered during World War I by Robert Yerkes, which indicated that blacks scored lower on the tests than whites; that Latins and Slavs all scored very low, and that all immigrants generally were feeble-minded. However, after living in the United States for twenty years, the immigrants’ test scores were considerably higher, suggesting biases and prejudices in the past bv test administrators, and Yerkes, Kamin suggested. A favorite area of study in l.Q. testing involves identical twins. Sir Cyril reported correlations between separated identical twins, as high as .86 (maximum is 1.00), and therefore concluded that the environment in which a child is raised is not as important as the child’s genetic makeup. \ Fudging Kamin, on the other hand, asserted that Sir Cyril’s identical twin tests were inaccurate because the testing methods he used were often unknown and that test results might have been “adjusted.” Arthur Jensen, the controversial Berkeley professor who claims blacks are less intelligent than whites, traveled to London only to find Sir Cyril s data not available, except for the statistical results. Kamin said other studies show that separated identical twins are usually raised in similar environments, sometimes by a relative in the same city. Additionally, similar 1.0- studies of adopted children and “natural” children, are also riddled bv statistical fudging, Kamin maintained. He charged that “since their introduction, l.Q. tests have been instruments of oppression, and that the inheritability of l.Q. test scores is “zero.” In fact, John Watson’s claim that he can transform any baby into a doctor, lawyer or beggarman, may not be as ridiculous as it sounds, Kamin said.

Monday, 20 October 1975 �Impression of Soviet Union varies as Americans return by Nancy Ellett Spectrum Staff not always anxious to find out about the U.S.” Writer Impressions from American travelers in the Soviet Union range from admiration for the Soviet cooperative spirit, to pity for the fear that seems everpresent in their lives. Martin Pauly, one of a group of 70 students who spent six weeks in the Soviet Union last year, found that “the people were very friendly” and “really not that different from Americans.” Pauly’s,, group, which was sponsored by the American Institute of Foreign Study, met Soviet young people through a sort “friendship associations” of welcoming committee to — foreign tourists. They gathered at the Moscow House of Friendship to socialize and exchange opinions, though seldom did conversation touch upon political topics. This reticence on ideological differences between the United States and Russia was also observed by Pauly in his encounter with a group of Soviet students who were visiting the State University at Albany campus to study the English language last year. During his travels through the Soviet Union, the most probing questions asked of him were “what do your parents do?” and “do you have enough to eat?” In some cases, a new acquaintance would venture no further than to ask his nationality. He explained that in contrast to the American notion that people all over the world wonder what it’s like here, “people I met were Restricted associations John Riszko, an advisor for the Division of Undergraduate Education, noted that Soviet citizens are restricted in thenassociations with foreigners. Nevertheless, during his two one-week visits to the Soviet Union, he found the people to be warm and friendly. Riszko noted, however, that “fear is a driving force of Soviet mentality,” which may also explain their apprehension discussions differences. of concerning socio-political While many young people were away at summer campus during Pauly’s stay, he found little difficulty in meeting people, and was able to visit some in their homes. Most people in the city live in apartment buildings, which are “new and plain like dorms,” explained Pauly. Each family is allotted a per capita number of cubic meters for restriction, though, causes no shortage of individual privacy. In some cases, a small living room was filled with many of the “luxuries” so familiar living space. This space to Americans, including a television, stereo and comfortable furnishings, Pauly said. The consumer product market is limited, however, and according to all reports of visitors there, many attempts were made by Russians to purchase scarce commodities from tourists. A single pair of dungarees sold for up to 50 American dollars, and Pauly reported being offered $35 for a Buffalo Bills sweatshirt he was wearing. American and Western European cosmetics were also in demand. Extraordinary architecture Tourists in Moscow and Leningrad never fail to be impressed by the extraordinary architecture and the clean, modern mass transit systems. The streets are described as clean and safe at all hours. There are only 22 bars servicing all of Moscow, and many of these cater to foreigners, especially Americans, and are located in the most expensive hotels. Nevertheless, alcoholism is reported to be a problem in the Soviet Union. Paul Krehbiel, another student visitor to the Soviet Union, spent two weeks touring with 33 other young Americans, sponsored by the National Council of American—Soviet Friendship. He described the “Komsomol” (Young Communist League), to which over half the Soviet youth belong, as a voluntary political organization of people aged 14 to 28, with about 30 million members. Members are devoted to socialism and help to build their by volunteering during their summer months to work on one of the many on-going country projects. In one of these projects, described in Soviet Youth , a publication of Novostii Press Agency in Moscow, various building crews are creating a plant and a city on the bank of the Kama River. This “Kamaz” complex will supply the country with heavy duty trucks. The average age of the volunteers is 23. Refresher course. ...son., auly descrii u th. as equivalent to our Boy or Girl Scouts, Most members seem to be social or political aspirants that want to get ahead in life. He was struck by the difference in attitude of communist part members in the U.S.S.R. and left-wing persons in our country. “Only a small percent of actually in the are people communist part,” he explained, “and those who are, are very straight. They could be compared to the Democratic Party members in Buffalo in that they are the establishment and are community-minded, upright and citizens, very strict self-disciplined.” Pauly observed that “posters all over extol the virutes of the working people,” and manual labor is considered an integral part of life. For example Krehbiel looks forward to doing . manual labor. Cooperative spirit Typical of comments by Soviet young people quoted in Soviet Youth regarding their hard work and small amount of free time is the following quote by Gamid Gafarov, a turner at Sumgait Boiler works: “What is creative work? To my mind it is first of all the trace left by man in society, in the life of all men, in hearts and in objects. Whether it is a poem or a turbine is a matter of vocation.” There is an emphasis upon the importance of each individual’s contribution, be it a result of physical labor or artistic creativity. Soviets are thus able to foster a spirit of cooperation among laborers, academia and farmers alike. Winter break trip to Russia offered The University’s Council on International Studies is coordinating an eight-day educational trip to Moscow and Leningrad during the winter break. Open to the entire University community, the trip will take place January 3 through January 10. Nina Tretiak, Assistant Professor of Russian Language and Literature, will serve as the academic guide for the tour. The purpose of the trip is to inform students about Russia from geographical, cultural and historical perspectives, she said. “1 will try to stress the character of the Russian people and Russia’s development as a nation,” Tretiak explained. She said she will try to serve individual academic and sight-seeing interests as well as the interests of the whole tour group. Highlights of the trip include visits to the Kremlin and historical cathedrals, the Tretyakov Art Gallery, the Novoderichii Monastery and Cemetery, the National Gallery of Non-Russian Art, Moscow University, the Kremlin Historical Museum, and the Hermitage of Leningrad. Special religious excursions to churches will be featured on January 7, the Russian Orthodox Christmas. Side trips to schools and farms may be planned if there is student interest, Tretiak said. The Council on International Studies has set the price of the trip at $565.45, including round-trip air fare from Buffalo, all meals, hotels, visas and expenses. Information may be obtained by calling the Council at 831-4941. ' | i [ I I From one beer lover to another. THE STKOH BREWERY COMPANY, DETROIT, MICHIGAN 4S226 J ■ I GW 3234 MAIN ST.

One would think that if Albany is going to sink so much money into something the magnitude of the proposed Amherst Campus gymnasium, it would al least do it right. But by the time the State University Construction Fund finishes chiseling away at the size and facilities of the still non-existent gym, students here might as well write off an impromptu game of paddle ball without making a reservation two days in advance. took over the private UB campus in Ever singe 1962, physical education majors, intercollegiate teams, and students merely wanting to participate in some physical recreation have had to suffer with the tremendously inadequate facilities in Clark Hall. A gymnasium originally designed for 4000 students could not be expected to comfortably accommodate a new sprawling state-owned institution, reaching well over 25,000 in number. It was hoped, however, that with the construction of a spacious new campus in Amherst, students here would finally have gym facilities tailored to size. Not only has a considerable portion of the net square footage been cut away, but the Construction Fund and the chief architect refuse to discuss the matter with those at this University who might have a better idea of how to plan the facilities. Apparently the state has broken a "gentleman's agreement" it made with the Athletic Department back in May 1975 to refrain from imposing further cutbacks. And who's to guarantee that the gym facilities will not be scaled down even further? Many people around here feared that if Albany approved the Bubble as a temporary recreation facility in Amherst, it would give its officials more of an excuse to fudge on their promises for the gym. That certainly appears to be the case now. Additionally, when the state removed a proposed Amherst auditorium from the Master Plan several years ago, people figured it would compensate by designing the fieldhouse for non-academic functions. Yet with the present one entrance in the entire fieldhouse stupidity in planning we hate to think of the massive congestion, as well as the fire hazard, that will be caused at any major events. Another oversight is the omission of a women's locker room. Does the architect believe the women will change and wash up in the bathroom? As Dennis Delia, Chairman of the Student Athletic Review Board says, '*£verv day that we delay, the gym gets smaller and smaller." We strongly urge all students*to write President Robert Ketter and the SUMY Central administration, demanding that the gym be designed to fit the needs of a university this size and no further reductions "Three quarters of be imposed. (Ketter's attitude thus far is defeatist and none." the chicken is better than insensitive.) After all, asking for adequate gym facilities is not asking for too much. — — On the way to the house of some friends last week, 1 was lucky enough to catch the sun at an angle and color which illuminated the valley we were driving in beautifully. The sun was a reddish pink and this color seemed to highlight the rest of the fall colors, pulling them out into the eye. It was an extraordinarily pleasant experience, driving some six to eight miles between two rows of hills which seemed to be almost on fire with the shades of red, orange and yellow. It was a case of viewing the world through a natural rose-colored glass. This was made clear on a later morning when the clouds were low, a drizzle was spattering the windshield, and the world |/»/| L) looked altogether drab J especially those trees which had so recently looked so Steese fine. Having recently gotten myself into the serious study of hypnosis, which can be seen at several places as involving the lifting of a focus of awareness, it struck me in this instance of trees and light how fragile we are or at least how fragile I am as a as people person. Hypnosis as taught by the very straight and profession people I seem to have joined forces which means what about the way my with head works? has a great deal to do with suggestibility. Now 1 look for places where 1 am influenced, more or less unexpectedly, by expectations, or things which play on some combination of suggestion, from the outside, and my expectations, which are clearly internal. Is there that much less beauty in the colors as they are obscured by a light rain? Or is there a fundamental response in humans to bright, as opposed to drab, beauty? Perhaps it is anything firelike which pulls such a response from me? Who knows... I certainly don’t. 1 just know that my feelings seem to be that touchy most of the time, that living in the world is the art of preventing unwelcome intrusion, without being outrageiously intrusive . . . except where necessary of course. Vernal intrusion seems to be harder for me to deal with, I began to learn long ago how to listen to my mother without hearing her, until necessary to avoid injury to body and dignity. Bright lights are a total bummer . . but then, so to think of it, are sudden loud noises, and sustained loud noises, and . . . whoa, boy, whoa. (One of the problems with having a not very well organized head is that things change in the middle of them, leaving them in a muddle.) tfie - CI/vU. ... — - Well, there I am back to my own fragility again. Which I project onto you. My version of the world clearly has me jumping when doors slam, i.e., everybody else gets the same startle response, or level of irritation around loud noises. This makes it very hard to understand snowmobilers and other persons who associate with noisy machinery when it is not necessary. Why on earth would they want to do thatl (Because their ears don’t hurt, perhaps? Nonsense, my ears hurt ... everybody’s ears better damned well hurt!) 1 did not come down this road or at least consciously. Seemed intentionally as though there were all sorts of wonderful implications about how sensitive we all are to the rest of the world to be talked about. But somehow I find that confounded with the way my head works. Which is even stranger because one the other ways my head works, it seems to be reasonable to deduce, is that I am having one hell of a hard time blundering on down the road of talking about all those implications unless 1 understand my own thinking about them. Not too weird, 1 guess, have to be ready to defend myself if someone attacks... and you never know when, right? The implications were the usual run-of-the-mill cosmic enlightenment stuff. Hey man, we’re all like that, so be a litt cool, huh? I’m so straight they could use me to level concrete. (Actually, I really enjoyed much of the late Saturday Night Live show with George Carlin (not to be confused with Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell which if you’ve seen both of them is very hard to do) and anybody who can likes George Carlin can’t be that straight he? On the other hand why am I worried about it?) Arrggghhh! I’m thinking again and it almost universally gets me into trouble. There is a wonderful rock at the end of Sycamore Canyon in the Big Sur area of California. (Have faith, this one is going to make sense eventually!) Where the canyon runs into the Pacific is a rock mass perhaps 50 to 75 feet high with tunnels through it that the waves rush through. There is a trail which runs to the top; and it is a fine place to sit, and look, and feel the wind. It is not a really difficult trail, but it has a couple of tricky spots. When I was there this summer, I started up there with my woman companion. She decided after a ways that climbing this rock in our we had spent a somewhat fuzzy condition fair amount of the day drinking was 1) stupid, 3) she and 2) unsafe, and that given 1, and 2, wasn’t going anywhere but down. All of which hooked me in probably because she was right. But my response was to start to worry, and start trying to think. Which is a terrible idea. There are times when climbing a rock that 1 assume you are supposed to stop and think. Such as before you start, if you aren’t straight. But once started if 1 start double checking myself about everything 1 do, 1 am going to wind up in a mess. I am not paying attention to the rock, or even myself, I am paying attention to my anxiety. Is that a safe handhold? Will my foot fit there? I don’t have enough storage for all that stuff. Which brings us to the obvious conclusion that 1 think too much, which must mean that you do too. So, I hope you will join with President Ford and me, in refusing to think. Thank you, thank you. Survive. ... - - ... - - - - — The Spectrum Vol. 26, No. Arrogant athletes To the Editor Monday, 20 October 1975 26 Editor-in-Chief Managing Editor — I found Christopher Van Vliet’s article (10/15) about arrogant athletes most interesting. The only aspect where I was disappointed was in his failure to hit home a little more. Let me explain. I was a member of this University’s wrestling team four years ago. While most of the wrestlers appeared to be fairly coachable, the great majority of them (including me) possessed few of the qualities 1 believe necessary for an athlete’s development. 1 think that this can apply to all of the athletes at this University. I think that most of them would be like Larry Fogle or Cesar Cedeno if they were as good as them. Also, I feel that it is difficult for a person to be a Dr. Jekyll on the playing field and a Mr. Hyde Amy Dunkin Richard Korman Advertising Manager Gerry McKeen Business Manager Howard Koenig — — — Copy Graphics Layout .

Arts off the field. 1 guess I must be a die-hard of the old school of jJt4hought, because I still think that maturity, drive, 'StStt-’sacrifice and the willingness to cooperate are central to an athlete’s development. I believe that a person’s attitude in athletics is merely a reflection of his personality. We must remember that it is more important to be a good person than a good athlete. To me, the ideal athlete is one who strives to excel in his chosen sport, but can also put it in its place. By ■this I mean that he should remember that athletics is just a part of life, and he should try to better himself in other areas. This type of person is certainly a rare breed in Clark Hall. My experience there led me to believe that it is a haven for ego maniacs and jocks who wished and/or thought they were super-jocks and acted like them. It is my contention that the only reason there are not more people like Jimmy Connors or Duane Thomas is that there are very few people who have as much athletic talent as they. Remember the reason we were taught athletics when we were young was so that we could develop.sound minds as well as sound bodies. Four years agQ, 1 submitted a letter to The' Spectrum supporting athletics. Now 1 can’t honestly say 1 would be unhappy or disappointed if athletics were eliminated altogether here. It is funny how attitudes can change. Mark .fay �Guest Opinion by Donald Ross Director of jV YP/RG One way to measure the integrity of a society is to put its most cherished beliefs to the test of experience. For Americans the right to vote is generally considered the most sacred »c Paul Harvey News citizen privilege. From the first elementary school civics class through college political science courses American are exhorted “to participate in their governance by casting a ballot.” Given this stresson the electoral process, would think that every effort would be made to insure that as many persons as possible would register and vote. But anyone holding this belief would be sadly mistaken. For it is impossible to have been involved in the voter registration campaign in New York State this fall and not come away with a deep cynicism toward the entire electoral system, at least as it operates in this state. Every step of the way potential voters were discouraged from registering to vote. Starting with a total absence of publicity on the dates, limes and places for registering and ending with the arbitrary conduct of semi-literate Boards of Elections, the would-be voter was hindered and harassed. At every campus in the state where registration drives were run the initial reaction was one of surprise that an election was soon to take place. “Why wasn’t there more publicity?” was the common complaint. The answer, of course, is that it is an off-year election with no statewide or national offices in contention. Most local candidates lack the resources to sponsor registration drives and others simply avoid campus areas. Many students who knew an election was coming up missed the registration days. At Syracuse, for example, a dozen people came to the NYPIRG office or called on the telephone to find out how to register within an hour after the polls closed. The most tragic cases are those who were stopped from registering by the almost unbelievable incompetence of local boards of elections. In Buffalo, for example, a student at the University was told that it was a felony for - by Paul Harvey statistically are taller, handsomer, Today’s young people healthier, smarter and more capable than any generation which preceded theirs. Except they can’t read or write A million American teenagers, 12-17, cannot read or write at a fourth-grade level! A million American youngsters are illiterate. They learn a little bit about a lot of things in school, but they are not learning reading, writing and ’rithmetic. So they get to college. They want to be journalists. And they can’t even spell. This year 200 students applied for admission to the University of Wisconsin’s school of journalism and most of them were turned away because they did not have even a basic understanding of the English language. They needed only 56 correct answers out of 90 and still couldn’t cut it. One of the washouts said, “Why should I have to know about commas and hyphens and stuff like that?” At the University of Illinois, a freshman writes, “I could of done better in finals if I wouldn’t of broke my leg at exam time.” Only eight percent of this year’s Illinois freshmen passed the - — - writing proficiency entrance test. Universities should not have to teach students to read and write. Part of the problem is grade inflation in high school. “Head ’em up, move ’em out, pass everybody!” Albert Tillman, University of Illinois, blames television. He says children are watching instead of reading. Many colleges and universities, pinched financially and forced to increase enrollments this year, are waiving freshman writing requirements. So you can get into college, through college and out with a degree and remain functionally illiterate. How do they understand their textbooks? They don’t always. Elliott Anderson, professor of English at Northwestern, admits that many teachers do not bother to correct grammar in student essays. Further deleterious is the insfstence by some that “street language,” as they call it, because of common usage should be construed as correct. Dr. Dwayne Bliss, assistant superintendent for administration in the schools of Corpus Christi, Texas, says discipline problems are worsened by marginal literacy. ‘They can’t read and they get bored; they get bored and they get trouble.” in The situation is worsening, not improving. High school graduates taking college entrance exams have scored lower in language skills every year for 12 years, and this year’s decline was the steepest yet. Maybe teachers have been spending too much time striking when they should have been teaching. And, lest you run out of things to worry about, out of this generation’s students will come the next generation's teachers. - her to try to register at a local address. When she protested that she lived there she was told it didn’t matter. Rockland County students were solemnly assured by election officials that they had to be absent from the county for 12 months prior to registering. New To complicate the process York State’s 62 counties adopted their own forms and refused to accept those from other counties. Some placed extra hurdles in the registrant’s way. Broome County, for instance, unilaterally adopted a requirement that the blank be notorized. Without all of the forms were long and exception complicated with small print and scanty instructions. Syracuse students experienced their own special problems. Many were told they couldn’t register locally because they were students, However no where in the law is the condition of being a student listed as grounds for denying the vote. One woman whose parents had sold their home and now were traveling was told she couldn’t register even though her local address was the only one she possessed. Another student born to American parents temporarily living in London wasn’t permitted to register because he couldn’t produce naturalization papers. Nothing he said could convince the registrars that he was a citizen the same as if he had been born in Manhattan, Westchester or Manlius. Many other examples could be given. Were the consequences not so serious, some would like the Buffalo student almost be ludicrous orphaned by recently deceased parents who was told he had to register at his parents home because his only address his dormitory room was unacceptable. Judged in the most charitable manner the registration process was a hopeless bureaucratic bungle that prevented thousands from registering. Viewed in a conspiratorial way it was a calculated obstacle course designed to discourage all but the most persistent citizens. At the very least it produced frustration, at worst cynicism and a “who cares?” attitude. Are the civics books serious when they urge all to vote? And what should we think of a society that prevents people from carrying out their basic duties? — — — Food Service follies To the Editor This letter is to alert the student body of some disgusting goings-on'with Food Service (run in our name by the Faculty-Student Association). A year after hiring an “efficiency expert” as Food Service Director, Norton Hall Food Service last week “laid off” (permanently) 15 employees, mostly students. It is, of course, a month into the semester. At the beginning of the semester, these students were told they had jobs. Now, once they can no longer find part-time jobs open to students, they are told they no longer have jobs. For many of these students, the job means whether or not they can continue in school (due to working conditions that range from bad to horrible, only students with severe financial need work for Food Service). Food Service officials sit in their offices and have no qualms of destroying the economic existence of these human beings to suit his abstractions of “efficiency.” This “efficiency,” it should be noted, takes no notice of situations like that of the beginning of this past summmer, when eight supervisors were paid solely to watch over (in the Orwellian sense) a mere ten workers . . . At an employees meeting in the first week of September, supervisors told those assembled that non-students would be hired in preference to students, since non-students can work shifts like 10 a.m,—2 p.m. every day. Of course, non-students can work such shifts, ninnies! They don’t have to go to classes two or three days a week. Now, it doesn’t take too much intelligence to schedule students for Tuesday—Thursday or Monday-Wednesday-Friday shifts, depending on which days they have classes. At the same meeting, sutdents were blamed for every ill of Food Service from giying too large portions (chortle, chortle!) to stealing those snazzy uniforms (they make divine party dresses). While Food Service flunkies fire students in the name of the holy god Efficiency (say Hallelujah!), sons, daughters, relatives, dead cousins and godchildren of supervisors are hired, usually at a higher salary than the students they replace (say it ain’t so, Mr. Ho!). * While the number of employees is being greatly reduced (despite the nepotism), it is obvious that the lines at Food Service outlets haven’t gotten shorter, the prices haven’t gotten lower, there have been no layoffs of fat-cat administrators, and the food quality is as poor as ever. Another disgusting aspect of Food Service is the sudden change of students’ (and other workers’) schedules. Often, the schedules were changed to hours during which the student had classes, and the students were told to work the new hours or else (this started happening the week after the add-drop deadline, when students could no longer change schedules). In the case of both layoffs and schedule changes,' notice was sometimes limited to several hours; few people had even two days in which to scramble for new jobs. In light of these atrocities, we call upon the student body and for that matter the University community as a whole to immediately take these steps to cripple Food Service until they realize that they employ and serve human beings and not animals. To this end, we ask: 1. Boycott Food Service to the greatest extent , possible; 2. Students on board contract should take all meals and take as much food as possible, even if this means giving or throwing the food away (boardprices are set on the assumption students will not take all meals and will often eat little at a particular meal). 3. While being kind take to harass to workers, complain to and every the administrators who work in the offices on the main floor of Norton. Remember, the quality of iood bought by Food Service, the conditions under which it is prepared, the size of portions, its price, are noi determined by the people who stock, cook and serv. the food, run the cash registers, or bus the tables. I is determined by the biggies in back, who rarel show their faces in public. 4.

Page seve �DonMFwed speaks ofa decade of conspiracy by Meg Covey Spectrum Staff Writer “Elections since 1960 in -this have been decided by bullets, not ballots.” This was one of the opening remarks made by Donald Freed last Wednesday night in Canisius College’s Student Center Auditorium as part of his program, “A Decade of country Conspiracy.” A former professor at UCLA and other coJleges in the California State College system, Freed is the author of Agony in New Haven , and co-authored Executive Action. “the hammer hammer He believes that “the of assassination smashed down, of nulverizine i 8 the American electoral pulverizing puiven process and the American psyche.” Althouth the United States has been democratic superficially, he is convinced that there was a secretive, undemocratic “infrastructure” which was responsible for the three assassinations and one unsuccessful attempt. (Kennedy Brothers, Martin Luther King, Jr., George Wallace). * Ghastly decade Freed sees a definite connection between the crimes, saying that in this "ghastly decade of deceit, and lies, and conspiracy, one can follow the blood red footprints from Dallas through Watergate.” He blames the conspiracy problem on the Americans’ willingness to accept everything they are told, and appealed to the audience to be "extremely critical” of his statements without evidence. He began by showing a bootlegged short on the Kennedy assassination which he said was suppressed for twelve years. It It dealt with the minutes of the shooting itself and showed that two two separate bullets hit Kennedy Texas, John of Texas, and and then Governor of ■ the same who was in Connolly, limousine. Also, it clearly showed the impact of the bullet on Kennedy’s forehead and the force of it pushing him backward. Freed pointed out that the film contradicts the “magic” bullet theory presented by the Warren Commission report which held that three bullets were fired at Kennedy’s motocade. One hit the curb, one hit the President’s head from behind, 'and the other one was the “magic" bullet. „ „ .... ..

Its population is about a quarter of a million, and because of its small size, the calibre of the team is unknown. The tickets for the event are expected to pay off the $500 loan, but in case they don’t, Richardson has made it clear that the remaining amount would be repaid from his budget. Tickets for students will cost $1 in advance and $2 at the door. Non-students will have to pay $1 more, both in advance and at the door. The game will begin at 7:30 p.m. * The other basketball event on November 21 will take place during the afternoon. It will be the second annual Pre-Season Luncheon, held, at the Statler Hilton. Although details for the luncheon have not been finalized, there will be a guest speaker, and those who attend will meet Richardson, his assistants and his players. The Basketball Bulls will open their season against the national team of Barbados on November 21. The match was not finally approved ufitil Tuesday of last week when Buffalo Coach Leo Richardson obtained a $500 no-interest loan from the Black Student Union. The money guarantees that the expenses of the Barbados team will be paid. The idea originated back in May when Richardson wanted to take the Bulls to Europe. However, the basketball budget was not large enough to allow such an expensive undertaking, so the idea was modified to bring a foreign team to Buffalo. At first, Richardson tried to get either the Polish or Italian national teams to play here, but since the Barbados team will be touring the United States at that time, the game was arranged.

The at night October 7 with wins over Canisius and Niagara. Buffalo got off to a bad start against Houghton in the first game. Buffalo’s play was sloppy and disorganized, and they were outplayed bv the supposedly weaker Houghton squad. The momentum turned around in the second game of the match when Buffalo tightened up its defense and began to control its bumps and spikes. (Bumps are preliminary hits before the ball is spiked.) “We had a real slow start,” said JoAnne Wroblewski, “but then we got it together and started making them work for their points.” Buffalo had no trouble defeating Houghton in the next two games to win the match. The first game of the Buffalo State match was the most exciting game of the night. Buffalo led 6-0 after two series of serves, but the Bengals chipped away at the lead until Buffalo was only ahead by one. Buffalo scored two quick points before both defenses tightened up to hold each team scoreless for three serves. Then State managed to tie the score before Buffalo finally won the game with two points in the last two serves. Buffalo defeated its crosstown rivals in an i Oct. 22, Tuesday at 4:15 pm Room 234 2.

Committee reports • Sideline spikes Weinreich tested out a new strategy in the matches, and he was very pleased with the results. Most teams block towards the middle of the court, which leaves a hole open on either side, he explained. Weinreich took advantage of this bv having his players set the ball on the edge on the court, and spike it down the line, scoring a number of points this way. This is the first time Weinreich ever coached a women’s team. “They’re a lot more pleasant to look at,” he commented when asked about the differences between coaching men and women,” and girls are more responsive than men.” The players have no qualms about being coached by a man. “It’s the person who makes the coach, not the sex of the person,” said Karen Knortz.

It is believed the disappearance of the papers of a is related to an article which contained the text student a against order issued show-cause government election that was rescheduled for a third time The United Student Government (USG) elections were held originally in late May. The results, however, were invalidated by USG President Ann Pindall, herself a candidate, because of alleged discrepancies in the election procedure. Her action was taken without the approval of the Judicial Council, which is supposed to be consulted on such matters. A vote to impeach Pindall in the Judicial Council failed to gain the required two-thirds majority. Show-cause order The postponed election was rescheduled for the fall semester, but Pindall decided not to run. Nevertheless, a show-cause order was obtained by Jack Parsons, a member of the Veterans’ Association, which charged that Pindall invalidated the elections because she knew she would lose. An investigation showed that this was not the case, and the show-cause order was withdrawn. The Buff State Record printed the text of the show-cause order in its September 30 issue, but it was later discovered that a former USG officer had ■ NORDIC ‘ by Pat Quinlivwi ,• WAY called the printer. Western New York Offset Press, between 1 ajn! and 2 a.m. that morning, just as the paper was about to go to press. The caller identified himself as a presentative of the Record and requested that a paragraph be deleted from the show-cause 6rder story. The printer had to change the negative, and charged the Record for this expense. The disputed paragraph read: **1116 show-cause order states that no purpose or reason was ever given for the invalidation of the elections. The order accused Ann Pindall of invalidating the election because she knew she was losing.” The caller later admitted to the deception, and said: “I had no choice. I knew it was libelous, and I knew I would be on the phone instituting libel proceedings against the Record, if the statement had been printed.” He said his only alternatives were ‘‘to destroy all the Record s when they came on campus, or allow the story to appear with the missing X-C SKIING ''W ' (at Broadway) v ?E / A CAMPING BACKPACKING CANOES 5421 TRANSIT . .1 ■ ly W RENTALS LESSONS naia> TOURS “Something that will stun the listener-reader, hold him In Its grip, and never quite let go ot him." 4 -The Washington Post paragraph.” Elusive newspapers When the Record discovered what had transpired, the editors decided to run the full text of the show-cause order on the front page of Friday’s paper. Much to their surprise, however, about 7000 of the paper’s 7500 copies managed not to find their way into the hands of the students. The Record will probably publish another issue on Tuesday with the show-cause order. Meanwhile, the USG will attempt to fill its offices for a third time from October 27 to October 30.

Thus, when age, they are expected to put subjects like lesbianism and aside their feelings for their homosexuality are mentioned, automatically many people dismiss them as social diseases without making any attempt to understand them. Sisters of Sappho, an organization of lesbians in Buffalo, held a workshop Tuesday night to dispell many of the myths that have long been associated with lesbianism. The meeting began with each of the participating women their “coming out” relating experience. All three experienced similar traumas in admitting their to lesbian pendencies first themselves and then to their families. All agreed that the girlfriends and rechannel them to the woman said. women’s movement greatly a man, Relationships with men are facilitated their coming out. A lesbian is a woman whose supposed to bring them ultimate sexual and emotional needs are satisfaction. If they feel there is satisfied by other women, they something missing in their explained. One woman said that relational ip, the only solution is society unknowingly encourages to look for another man. * Many lesbians marry men for a and psychological social protection, she continued. Any woman, gay or straight, is judged a failure is she isn't fulfilling the role of wife and mother. Repression Today of the subject lesbinaism is more freely discussed because women are reevaluating themselves, and consequently, society is reevaluating women. While many women admit that they are gay, many more still repress their emotions. One woman said that while straight women can kiss qpenly or hug each other, she felt gay women would instantly be branded it they expressed such emotion in public. Lesbians feel more intimidated by the public than many other groups, she said. The myth that one can spot a lesbian simply by her looks was also challenged. Lesbians are not physically different from any other women, one participant said. A lesbian can come from all racial, religious, and ethnic backgrounds. She can be a secretary, a cab driver, an actress. women is defined as “sick,” thus making it impossible for them to be honest- and open with their families, friends and society. A Stereotypes The heterosexual definition of tremendous burden is put on a They are a woman is based on her ability to lesbian’s psyche. told maniacs,” “sex play the feminine role, the reguarded as and that all ill, that they mentally spokeswoman said.

Natives of many countries, dressed in their traditional costumes, set up colorful pavillions to display various forms of folkart. Most of the objects came from their own homes and are functional parts of their daily lives. “One of the things we wanted out of this fair was to emphasize the international scope of the campus,” said Mary Brown, one of the fair’s coordinators. “People from all over have their own special talents and crafts, and we simply wanted to show off their abilities.” The American Indian exhibit contained bead work, baskets, toys, objects and apparel used for social dancing and pottery. Many of the designs had symbolic meeting, and Brown, who prepared the pavillion, explained that Indian crafts tend to be decorative as well as useful. Spectacular woodwork From the Ukraine came brilliant embroidary, geometrically designed ceramics, handlooms and enameling. Most Ukranian homes are decorated in this manner, with bright oranges, reds and browns. Most spectacular of all the artifacts was the woodwork, many of which were reproductions of old church art. Floral patterns were represented in both the Brazilian and Japanese displays. Japanese women taught how to arrange flowers, and also demonstrated the art of origami, an intricate method of paper folding. Brazilian craftspeople embroider flowers in many of their materials and clothing, and tend to utilize lace in their handcrafts. There was also a slide of Sao Paulo, Brazil’s largest city. West Africa, like Brazil, was characterized by hand-embroidered dresses and loose-fitting shirts. The most unusual items were painted containers made of fruit shells, and brass hangings which depict different gods. On the floor of the Fillmore Room, an Asian Indian woman created different patterns which would eventually appear on her batik canvasses. The women also presented and wore embroidered satin sans Photos by Forrest �BSU r*. 1 Reorganized to provide a more progressive and responsible unit The Black Student Union (BSU) has undergone a complete reorganization in an attempt to become a more progressive unit for black students and their problems. “The restructuring changed our executive office from a president to a triumvirate,” said Chelsie Morrison, chairperson of the BSU. Her two co-leaders are John “Buck” Lott and Abdul Wahab. “We are hoping to establish among the black students here a closeness similar to that of a family,” Lott said. “We also want to show that we are intelligent and rational, and to dispel the image of black students as jumping on tables and turning them over.” We want to maintain our place in society and on campus as a unified entity, Morrison said. “Last year our organization was in a moribund state, and now it is as if we are emerging from the ashes like the Phoenix. We are trying very hard to unveil ourselves from this image of a violent, unintelligent mass of protoplasm, and show that we are intelligent, that we are rational people,” she said. New structure The new organizational structure divides the BSU into nine standing committees: Academic Affairs, Activities, Legal Affairs, Student Enterprise, Sport Activities, National Affairs, Community Affairs, Communications and the Finance Committee. “Each committee is chaired by a coordinator, and presents its ideas to the executive for approval and to the Finance Committee for financial viability,” Morrison explained. The Academic Affairs committee deals with academic survival, including the Equal Opportunity Program (EOP), financial aid information, a tutorial program,■and academic counseling. “The Academic Affairs Committee is basically concerned with helping the black student to make it through four years here,” Morrison said. The Activities committee is responsible for all BSU activities from entertainment to cultural programs, Lott said. The student Enterprises Committee is exploring the possibilities of establishing a record coop, a food coop, and a health program geared towards black students. Legal concerns Legal affairs is concerned with legal matters related to the BSU, such as a bail fund and contracts. Jim Eaglin, a recent graduate of the law school here, is currently serving as the BSU legal consultant. Community Affairs seeks to establish a liaison between the black community in Buffalo and the black students on campus. “We hope to establish programs that will benefit both of us,” Morrison said. The purpose of the Communications Committee is to inform BSU members about upcoming programs. The Communications Committee also serves as a publicity committee Cities loan guarantee asked by Pat Quinlivan City Editor Senator Jacob Javits (R., N Y.) has introduced a bill which would establish a Federal Loan guarantee facility for ailing local governments. This facility is necessary, Javits told the Senate Banking Committee, because “it is clear by now that by any standard, the New York City financial crisis is a national crisis deserving of a national response.” Under Javits’ bill, local governments and “eligible corporations” such as the Municipal Assistance Corporation (Big Mac) of New York State, would be eligible for loans of up to $500 million per year, as allocated by the Secretary of the Treasury. ■ An “eligible corporation” is defined as one that has been formed under state law, and that has “the authority to go into the market and use the proceeds of its borrowing to purchase debt obligations of local governments.” What this means is that the designated corporation (Big Mac for example) must have far-reaching powers over the particular local government it was established to assist. The maximum total of all loans guaranteed by the bill would not exceed $5 billion. Insurance facility Title II of the proposed legislation would set up an insurance facility, also administered by the Secretary of the Treasury. This facility “would hold This ties in with efforts being made in New York State by Assemblyman Joseph 1 Lisa of the 34th District Lisa has formed the “Save Our City Committee." which is attempting to market Big Mac bonds in denominations of S50 and S I 00. While admitting that there has been waste, and even financial gimmickry, on the part of New York’s city fathers. Javits said at the Banking Committee hearing that New York’s problems are noSentirely attributable to the city’s “wicked wavs." He says the city’s problems "are primarily the result of attempting to cope with the enormous social problems of the day," combined with the recession and inflation that have been ravaging the nation. Broader range Abdul Wahaab and Chelsie Morrison National Affairs gathers information and coordinate activities with other schools. BSU leaders foresee the possible development of a national or state-wide Black Students Union as an offshoot of the cooperation with other schools. The Sports Committee will serve as a body for the black athletes on campus, and will coordinate athletic events. The Finance Committee is charged with formulating the BSU budget request, establishing financial priorities, and disbursing funds within the BSU. “We are trying very hard to cater to the immediate needs of the black students on campus,” Morrison said, and “we are trying to establish a program that every black student can participate in.” Hear 0 Israel For gems from the JEWISH BIBLE Phone 875-4265 Wilamt’a 1053 Kensington Ave. 834-3597 Get Your Plants, their acct ssories and prescriptions for same from The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only The by summer during the Spectrum Student Periodical, Inc.

Colleges staff and community persons can pursue their mutual interests in the development of anarchist theory,” and where ideas about small cooperative communities can be tested. College H’s relationship with the Faculty of Health Sciences was hailed by Spitzberg as a “model of the constructive and complementary relations which should be typical of future developments.” College H studies the delivery ,of community health care and services. Spitzberg praised a number of the Colleges for developing strong community ties and relations. Tolstoy College was cited for its links to Buffalo’s Polish-American community, and Cora P. Maloney was likewise College complimented for its links to Increased involvement of departmental faculty in the Colleges has led to more credible stances, academic without sacrificing academic quality, said Colleges Dean Irving Spitzberg in his Annual Report. The report, which covered the 1974-75 academic year, presented a positive picture of the Colleges’ current state and promised greater development in the future. Participation of regular faculty, a criteria on which the Colleges were judged when they applied for charters last year, has increased from 25 in spring, 1974 to over 150 last spring, said Spitzberg. In particular, he noted, Tolstoy College (College F), which had only one regular faculty member in the spring 1974, but had over half its courses taught by regular faculty in the community spring of 1975. In the same time inner-city also Spitzberg period, Rachel Carson College organizations. increased its regular faculty roster noted Rachel Carson College and from one to seven. the College of Urban Studies for their links to community groups. More than statistics Spitzberg went on to say that Negative image Additionally, Spitzberg said the chief executive officers of Carson, Urban Studies, Rachel eight of the eleven Colleges are H, and Women’s Studies University College regular faculty. Noting that “statistics in and College “involve themselves in of themselves do not indicate the service and learning opportunities intensity in the community,” through their faculty of FSA board complete as result of election Four students, three administrators, one faculty member, and one professional staff person elected to the were Association Faculty-Student (FSA) Board of Directors President for Finance and Management and FSA Treasurer, saw no real significance in the loss Spitzberg was less enthusiastic, though, when speaking about the general community image of the Colleges. He recalled a picket line set up by local mothers around the storefront of the now-defunct College A and said the negative image still hasn’t been overcome entirely. “For us to be successful, however, we shall need the help of University the total in communicating a more positive view of the Colleges,” stated Spitzberg.

A native of West Germany, Moessner addressed herself to the West German woman’s situation. “Before World War II, there was aristocracy, since Foreign panalists discuss roles of men and women in the world by Paul Buttino Staff Writer Spectrum Panelists from four foreign countries discussed the traditional roles of men and women and the strides women have made in their respective countries Tuesday in observance of International Women’s Week. Participants in the interchange entitled “A New Era for Men and Women” were Neusa Long of Brazil, Henrietta Moessner of Germany, Eliz Sansarian of Iran and Teres Yanka of Ghana. Sansarian described the role Iranian women held: “The traditional role had identified women as weak and incapable of conducting their own lives, and constantly being in need of strong men, physically and financially, to support them.” However, this is untrue in Iran today, she contended. “Women are encouraged to become educated and even go on to higher education. The job market accepts qualified women without any discrimination, and all women have the right to vote.” Traditionally, she said, a woman was obligated to marry a certain man chosen by her parents, but today, they are not being forced into marriages, and can marry anyone they choose. Height of democracy? Sansarian said the man may have a second wife, but only if the wife agrees, or if his first wife is sick. Yanka from Ghana was shocked to find a Women’s Liberation movement in America, a country her people regard as the height of democracy. “I was surprised to find that women over here had to fight to obtain a whole lot of things that we already had from way back. Back in Ghana, women never had to fight to get equal pay, we always had it,” she said The main difference between the sexes, Yanka pointed out, is not salaries, but the house. “Back in Ghana, in a home, a woman is expected to be very submissive and play the role of what they call a woman, with the husband the boss.” An African woman is never really recognized until she is married and a mother, Yanka said. Otherwise she has not obtained what is supposed to be the highest point for a woman. Underpaid Brazil has 50 million women, according to 1970 statistics. Yet women in Brazil constitute only 20 percent of the work force. Long said. The life of women in Brazil is conditioned by their social status, and by their being rural or city dwellers, Long added. Two-thirds of the country’s field work is done by women, and after they finish a full day’s work, they are expected to perform a number of domestic chores. “Women do not demand equal pay for the simple reason that their men are also terribly under-paid,” Long explained. “In the cities, women in the lower classes work chiefly as maids for meager wages. Of the 300,000 college students in Brazil, 100,000 are women, she said. Although many women hold prominent jobs, such as gynecologists and pediatricians, women are concentrated in the teaching profession, Long said. Germany has a problem, Moessner pointed out.

It’s very important to be a virgin at marriage, but many lower class women had illegitimate babies of men from the middle and upper classes since those were expected to have experience.” In a question and answer period following the discussion, the representatives from Iran and Ghana were asked if women were permitted to have more than one husband in their countries. Both said no. Fight back! Someone asked Yanka how the women in her country were trying to fight the marriage to the house. She replied, “We try to get the husbands to share in the responsibilities of raising the children, so we don’t have to be stuck with the housework all the time.” qturday, Oct. 18th at 8 pm 9/, Rooms 218 - 219 (Lounge Area] of the u.h, record coop The role of the woman in those days, Moessner explained, was dignified and polite, and since she had a maid, there was nothing for her to do in the house.

Semi-zombies result of cannibis epidemic At first glance, it (CPS) would seem that the country is not far from reaching a national of decriminalizing policy marijuana. But it may take longer than expected. ., There are several obstacles to federal legislation to decriminalize marijuana, although six states such already have passed legislation on their own, and a presidential task force recently recommended that enforcement of pot laws be given low priority. One of the major obstacles, said Keith Stroup, chairman of the National Organization to Laws Reform Marijuana is Senator James (NORML) Eastland (D., Ms.) Eastland is a staunch opponent of Marijuana decriminalization and chairman of the Judiciary Committee, through which any marijuana bill must pass before it reaches the Senate floor. In addition, Eastland is Senate chairman ol the ol Internal Subcommittee Security, which issued a report last yeai spelling out the details of a maiijuana “epidemic." There are good reasons to oppose the decriminalization of marijuana, according to Dave Marlin, chief analyst for the subcommittee and last land coordinator for the hearings from which least land's report stemmed. Marijuana, said Martin, can make a person “anti-motivational” or Martin claimed that neither he Eastland recommended putting “youthful first offenders” behind bars, but insisted that possession of pot should remain a misdemeanor, since a “criminal record and probation provide a deterrent.” powerful mighty decriminalization Marijuana generally implies that no criminal records will be kept on minor marijuana arrests. Eastland’s subcommittee has scheduled a second set of marijuana hearings for November in which the latest scientific research will be examined, Martin said. “I’m not totally against decriminalization. I just want to take a go-slow attitude.” Several marijuana reform bills are in Congress now. There is a Senate bill which must pass Eastland’s through Judiciary Committee although Stroup of NORML is pessimistic about whether that bill can “be forced through” the committee. A bill in the House is caught in “the same kind of bottleneck,” Stroup said. The House bill must go through the Subcommittee on Health and Environment. The chairman of that committee, Paul Rogers (D., FL), is “sitting on the bill until after the ’76 elections,” Stroup said Rogers could not be reached for comment. reform Another marijuana measure is proposed to amend the Justice controversial Criminal Reform Act, which calls for a massive overhaul of the US. Criminal Code. If that bill is passed without a amendment, decriminalization of pot could be possession punished with a 30-day jail sentence and/or a fine of up to "dysfunctional." $10,000. by Allan Rabinowitz Special to The Spectrum If the cannibis epidemic we may continues to spread find ourselves saddled with a large population of semi-zombies . .. —Senator James Eastland ... Dripping in pockets, lingering in the air (CPS) Like old soldiers, old laws don’t die, they just fade out of the public mind. But old laws regulating food sales still exist in yellowed sections of the law books of many states. For instance, it’s still against the law for a - Nebraska tavern owner to sell beer unless there is a ppt of soup brewing. In Kansas, an old law forbids eating rattlesnake meat in public. Carrying an ice cream cone in your pocket is strictly forbidden by a Lexington, Kentucky ordinance, while in Winona Lake, Indiana, just eating an ice cream cone at a counter on Sunday is illegal. And in Gary, Indiana, it’s against the law to ride a street car or attend a theater within four hours after eating garlic. Abortion legal but not available (CPS) Although abortion has been legalized for more than a year, thousands of women are still unable to obtain abortions in America, according to a study by the Alan Guttmacher Institute, the research arm of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. The study estimated that between 400.000 and 900,000 women were denied abortions in 1974, most of them poor and many under the age of 20. The report showed that only 15 percent of public hospitals performed “even a single abortion” in the first three months of 1974. The response in many hospitals to the legalization of abortion “was so limited as to be tantamount to no response at - all,” The total nationwide need for abortions in 1974 estimated at 1.3 to 1.8 million. The total estimated number of abortions performed was only was 892,000. The report also showed that abortion services vary widely from region to region and are much more accessible to middle and upper-income women. “Unless these inequities are corrected,” the investigators concluded, “women who are poor or very young and those who live in smaller cities will continue to find it difficult to obtain safe, legal abortions. They will continue to obtain illegal or self-induced abortions, unwanted or mistimed births, school dropouts, precipitous marriages and other health and social consequences.” Second class criminals no more (CPS) An unexpected repercussion of the women’s liberation movement has been a dramatic increase in the crime rates among females, according — to at least one woman studying recent trends in crime. In an interview with the Christian Science Monitor, Freda Adler, an associate professor of criminal justice at Rutgers University, explained that ‘.women no longer want to be second-class criminals.” In the same way that women are imitating men in other aspecft of social behavior, Adler said, they are veering away from “feminine” crimes like shoplifting and prostitution. Instead they are moving toward the more serious crimes of homicide, aggravated assault, robbery and burglary. Between the years 1960 and 1972, the number of women committing serious crimes increased by about 250 percent, compared to an increase of about 80 percent for men. Adler reassured feminists and others that “female liberation has not caused more criminality. We are dealing with something quite different.” Adler said it is more a question of increased opportunity than any loss of morality. Another reason for the increase in female arrests may be that the police are becoming more liberated as well. There may be a less “chivalrous” attitude on the part of the police toward women, resulting in more equal treatment before the law, Adler theorized. Other bad side effects of increased freedom tor women have included an increase of narcotics addiction, suicide and mental illness. Alice doesn’t work here today (CPS) Alice won't do anything on Octohei if the National Organization of Women pulls its national feminist strike together I he one-day strike is a show ol which NOW calls "Alice Doesn't “non-support” according to Cindy Clark, one ol the strike leaders. Clark said the response to the strike has been “fantastic" so tar, with inquiries from women in the military and on Capitol Mill, nurses, business and professional women, factory workers and even men. NOW members believe the feminist strike will show how much the country depends on women. Like a bike?

Stone: cultic celebration and the adolescent nay-sayer by Marc Epstein Special to The Spectrum When it first began I don’t know, but somehow the memory always stayed with me. It was at a Beatles concert in the summer of 1964 that I first had this memorable experience. The thousands who had flocked from the five boroughs of New York were deliriously happy to be there, so much so, that their squeals prevented them from hearing a single note the Beatles were singing. While few groups ever achieved the intensity of a “Beatles Happening,” many tried and the Beatles’ example was there for all to follow, with varying degrees of success. They set a standard. The lesson was clear, at least to me: audiences were no longer interested in the content or quality of the performance. They had instead become active participants in cultic rites, the celebration of which brought them together from far and near in one of the many tragically foredoomed efforts to recover the community of sense macro-sociologists tell us we multitudes that flocked to (and Hollywood premiers funerals) in the 20’s and 30’s. What else is new? A great deal! American cultural kitsch has always had a formidable audience, and popular personalities have always reveled in the mass-massaging of their egos. There has always existed a mass audience which liked nothing better than to lose itself in the fantasy life of a Douglas cultic celebration. I.F. Stone star {IF.

Damaging myths The University grief to Consider the following statements: -AH lesbians hate men. -Lesbians can be distinguished simply by their looks. -Lesbians who openly express emotion towards one another are (Jefying the moral dictates of society and engaging in an abnormal action. -In a relationship between two lesbian lovers, one always acts the role of the "mate" and the other plays the female." -Lesbianism is a sign of mental instability and/or sexual deviance and should be treated as such by society. ", Homosexuality is not a subject that is discussed openly and honestly between parents and children, students and teachers, or even among friends. Society has preferred to "sweep it under the rug” in hopes that it would go away. Yet much to the contrary, homosexuality has existed since the beginning of time and the way things look, it will be around until the end of time as well. People in our culture have for years lashed out at homosexuality in ignorance and fear, thus accounting for the perpetuation of falsehoods such as the ones listed above. They have used every stigmatizing word in the book to brand homosexuals, from criminal, to degenerate, to psychopath, to queer. They have flung open the dusty pages of the law books in attempts to discriminate against homosexuals in cases of child custody, employment, and housing. But worst of all, they have done aM this without even trying to understand what homosexuality is all about. And many homosexuals, caught up in the typical Catch 22 situation, feel that social ostracism is not a fair price to pay for "coming out" and they are forced to "stay in the closet” rather than show the rest of the world why a psychological or emotional preference for a member of the same sex is not a bad thing. With lesbianism, for example, a little bit of education and intelligence can quickly dispel the stereotypes that are built around it. For one thing, lesbians do not hate men; they are merely women who derive greater fulfillment from relationships with other women. If you don't believe that, •just ask yourself.— do heterosexual women hate other women because they do not have sexual relations with them? Second, lesbians are not physically different than other women and their desire to express emotions in public is no more wrong than the desire of any woman to openly kiss or touch another. (Remember, little girls are taught to be outwardly affectionate to both sexes.) Third, in lesbian relationships, the male-female powerplay simply does not exist. The two people involved have more freedom to develop as individuals for the very reason that they do not have to fit into any set social roles. Finally, lesbianism is a chosen preference. Any mental disturbances involved results from the traumas caused by society, not from the act itself. Workshops where straight people meet gay people face to face are ideal ways to demythologize homosexuality. Realistically, however, any serious change in attitudes will have to come from the conscious effort of individuals to be open-minded and understanding. Unfortunately, even on college campuses, prejudices against homosexuals are firmly entrenched in the attitudes of students. Yet it is precisely these people who can put a stop to the lies that continue to brandish the gay community.

Gregory Tylinski Fascist Iran To the Editor the Ever since the Chilean coup of 1973 headlines of The N. Y. Times , the American public has shown such a wholehearted concern for that specific event, as if Chile were the only case of a C.I.A. coup in a third world country. Similarly, now that General Franco’s atrocities have wounded the world’s humanitarian heart. Western circles, and especially European communities, have responded with such extreme reactions that one is easily led to regard Franco as the only cruel dictator of the post-Hitler era. While the vigorous reaction of public opinion to such cases is a positive sign of an aware society, it is hard to accept the attitude that the American public has shown so far of getting so deeply involved in these specific, cases as to close its mind toward similar and even more cruel cases elsewhere in the world. There are many countries in which CIA intervention and fascisttc dictatorship is part of everyday life. The case that needs to be referred to in this context and that has by tar outdone Francos cruelties and is a much more original case study ot C I.A.’s planned coups overseas concerns one ot the major oil producing countries and a member ot the OIM cartel Iran. The image that the American public has ot Iran as a prosperous land ot oriental leisure, guided by a benevolent monarch is mainly due to the misguided American news media that gives a distorted view ot realities in Iran. Franco's regime, compared to the one-man rule of Iran's Shall, is quite progressive and harmless Thai Iran has now over 40,000 political prisoners is indicative ol this laet (' political prisoners, nine political prisoners executed in Iran, despite an appeal by Amnesty International to save their lives. But this is a common ’practice of the existing regime. People simply disappear from the streets, landing in one of the secret police camps without the knowledge of their relatives. The legality of these arrests is of no concern to the government, let alone the prisoners’ right to a trial. The highly sophisticated torture equipments in the possession of the Iranian secret police (SAVAK) is in no way comparable to Franco’s negligable torture chambers, left over from World War II. The present regime has been brought to power after a successful C.I.A. coup in 1953. This was the first experience of the C.I.A. in launching coups The combination of heavy C.I.A overseas. involvement in Iran and increasing oil revenues have since been the main contributors to the fortification of the most dictatorial regime the world has ever seen. Now it is of no surprise to have ex-C.I.A. director Richard Helms as the present U.S. ambassador to Iran It is under his ambassadorship and with the help of Iranian oil money that the Shah is now spending more than eight billion dollars a while the year on arms, torture assets and prisons Iranian peasant is living in mud houses with terrible sanitary conditions. Despite all this repression much concern is shown and sacrifices made by many Iranians, especially students inside and outside the country to pave the way towards a free Iran. All around the world, and especially in Iran, too many lives are destroyed to allow us tq close our minds to these cruelties. Let us revive Iran in our minds whenever we hear of another case of an inhuman fascist regime ruling a people. ever - John T Andrews were Incomplete picture To the Editor women "Attitudes Toward Middle hast conservative” is the title of an article which appeared the Wed , Oct 8, 1475 International Women's Year supplement The article was mistitled. for indeed it only related to specific areas of the Moslem Arab World and not the Modern Middle hast. I have read, in some of the most reputable publications in the world today, the most glaring misrepresentations of the modern Middle hast that it does not surprise me at all that these same The in constantly appear misrepresentations Spectrum. The most widely accepted of these misrepresentations is that all ol the Middle hast always was, is and will be Arab and that all of this "Arab” Middle hast is Moslem (Sunni). It is, therefore, not unusual to see the Modern Middle hastern woman portrayed as a veiled Moslem woman, dominated by her Moslem Arab husband This is such a distortion of the Middle hast, on a whole, as to constitute a LI If. There are, in the Middle least, non-Arab Moslems, non-Moslem Arabs and non-Arab non-Moslems, Israel is a part of the Middle hast (whether or not it is to the liking of the Moslem Arabs). Israeli society is made up of, to a larger extent, Non-Moslem, Non-Arab, Jews. The Jews (for those who aren’t aware of it) were an intrinsic part of the Middle East long before (2000 years before) the in Moslem Arabs were. To deny this fact, as the author of the article seems to, is to constitute an incomplete picture of the Modern Middle East. In modern Israeli society, women are (for the most part) equal in all aspects of civil life. The Jewish woman in Israel has equal rights of voting, in education, in most aspects of religion and in marraige and divorce. A man can dance all day saying, “I divorce thee,” and, in the eyes of Judaism, his marital status does not change at all. These laws of divorce and marriage were in existence in the Middle East long before the Moslem Arab was even dreamt of. The most highly educated of all women in the Middle East are those that are citizens of Israel Indeed the most liberated, most equal women in the Middle East are those that are Israelis. This is not to say that everything in Israel is rosey because it isn’t. All one has to do is listen to or read Shulamit Alon’s the head of the civil rights party in the Israeli Knesset (parliament) and know that the situation is not utopian. To say that in one article, one cannot cover all material on the Modern Middle Eastern woman is to say that maybe there should be two or three articles on the topic. If The Spectrum wishes to have credibility it should avoid the mislabeling of articles in order to avoid flagrant misrepresentations of issues. o( the Samuel M.

A professor of English at a small college of London University, he responds to knocks at his office door with a frantic “Block that student!" to his protege at the next desk and then, with the painful sense of irony that never leaves him at peace, answers his phone "Ben Butley, — Friend to Education." Asked if he misses his wife Anne and the marriage that is falling to pieces much faster than he realizes, he replies, "Only the sex and violence, and these days one can get that anywhere." He is tired of the nights spent with only his bottles and books for company, waiting impatiently for the phone to ring, and hisses resentfully to Joseph, his more popular office mate/roommate, "I don't see why you shouldn't stay home at night and learn what it's like to fret yourself into a drunken coma!" But the feeling that something is going wrong remains until the afternoon when he vague and uncomprehended learns that Anne and Joseph have both left him for other men. Two divorces in one day are a lot for anyone, and Ben is suddenly forced to realize that he's just too old to do anything about either of them. — Master driver Butley is a master of snide repartee (“Can I take that can you take as straight abuse?" "It's straight abuse he comes to everyone it?") who succeeds in driving away but the Studio love, as well as everybody else he meets - - Arena Theatre's current production of Simon Gray's play about his inevitable day of reckoning is as much a winner as its anti-hero is a loser The entire play takes place in the cramped and cluttered space behind Ben's always-closed office door, and the only "action" is generated by his quick, extremely caustic wit. Star Tony Tanner (who comes to Buffalo straight from the Broadway hit Sherlock Holmes ) brings off this difficult role beautifully, as his talent and energy far exceed that of the failed, aging homosexual he brings to life. The title role was created in London by Alan Bates, who subsequently brought Butley to Broadway and then played him again in the American Film Theatre's production two years ago. The character seems to have been invented with Bates' peculiar style of bemused casualness, his veneer of apparent caftn through which he always seems to be on the verge of helpless panic, in mind. Like the professor who alternates between nasty one-liners and recitations from the tiny volumes of Beatrix Potter he keeps in his desk, Bates looks and acts like a mischievous child trying hard, to play the unfamiliar part of a middle-aged man. Second-hand If Bates was the perfect Butley, it is not only predictable but also quite appropriate that Tony Tanner, acting under Richard Barr's direction, should occasionally seem to be playing Alan Bates playing Ben Butley. He has the same sly, boyish smile, the same carelessness, the same air of imperfectly concealed hysteria that the character and his creator share. It is Bates' characterization, but Tanner has slid into it and found a perfect fit. As it continues "building up a case here for a conspiracy theory of human relationships (as Ben observes between blows from Anne, Joseph and their friends), the play requires some fairly intense interaction among its characters but Tanner, who is the first to come onstage and the last to leave, with no break other than the intermission is so strong that he overwhelms nearly all the minor players. With the exception of Nancy Cushman, whose Professor Edna Shaft ("You remember Edna,” Ben tells his wife, "she's the one you called a human contraceptive" to which the sedate Anne objects, "Actually, I called her a pill") is overbearing and overacted, Butley's attackers seem pale in comparison to Tanner's bravura performance. All of the acting is more than adequate (although the very American accent of Bill VandeSande, as the young student who is Joseph's potential successor jars the ingenue unpleasantly next to the good British English of the others); but as both the title and the staging imply, it is Butley's show, and its success is wholly Tanner's. Butley is a fascinating study of a man whose life leaves him wtih no other choice but to slowly fizzle out. Scheduled to run through November 1, the production heralds the beautiful beginning of a Studio Arena season set to include treats ranging from the slapstick farce Scapino! to Equus, Peter Shaffer's award-winning — — — — psychological thriller. — �Contemporary Theatre The characters are caught in hopelessness, despair ■■ man, and his performance is realistic and touching. He is the man we all recognize and seem to know, perhaps because we see so much of ourselves in him. by Sherry Margulis Staff Spectrum Arts Jeffrey Allen and Rosanna Penna appear with Woolley and successfully play off of him, as Joe Kane and the man's wife, so philosophical about her poverty. "Any American boy can be President, even if he is poor," she says of her son. "Poverty ain't no crime it sure has helped to make a lot of Often, when watching a play, we discover elements in that play that are common to our own lives, that prompt us to nod our heads knowingly and say, "Yes, that's how it is. I've been there myself." Unfortunately, this is most often true of plays dealing with people in hopelessly desperate situations, when the tone is more poignant, and the pain is a little sharper. Two such plays are currently on stage at the American Contemporary Theatre. The Triumph of the Egg and The Blue Concerto, two one-acters, directed by Douglas Woolley, both deal with characters whose lives are desperately, painfully Presidents." Marilyn Seiger's The Blue Concerto also deals with despair. It tells of Harry, who has been left paralyzed from the waist down as the result of an accident. For six months he has been confined to his small apartment, and to him, "six months is like six it's like eternity." The real source of his years concern, however, is that he can no longer sexually satisfy his wife. "There's Helen, a full-blown woman, and I can't given her anything," he complains to Nicky, the young pianist from upstairs, with whom, ironically, Helen has been having an affair. - hopeless. The first, by Sherwood Anderson, shows a man who does not easily give up hope. He runs a failing lunch counter, the kind we are all familiar with, and is determined that the way to build it back up is by feeding his customers "smiles, molasses and jokes." The way to catch flies is, after all, not with honey, but with molasses. Sexual favors Harry approves of Nicky, he tells him; he even if he is a piano player. In fact, respects him we are left wondering if Harry's outpouring is - Lunch break His chance for a "big break" comes by way of Joe Kane, who stops in for a cup of coffee while waiting for his prestigious doctor-father to arrive on the train. The hope Kane brings to the man reminds one of Laura's "gentleman caller" in The Glass Menagerie. Unfortunately, as in the Williams play, young Kane's brief visit to the diner merely emphasizes the hopelessness of the man's situation, and leaves him more lost than before. He attempts to entertain Joe by telling stories which eventually become preoccupied, rambling monologues, through which we learn of his past experiences as a chicken farmer. Locked in a trunk behind the counters are jars containing freak chickens with seven legs and two heads, which the man proudly displays to Joe as a further attempt to entertain him. He then tries some tricks with eggs, making an egg stand on its end, getting it to slip down the neck of a bottle. But the egg shells crack and break, like his own fragile life, and Joe Kane, tike the rest of the world, turns away, disinterested. You've got to have friends, so the all women rock band.

In the last scene we hear Nicky's music, a subtle blues piece which has set the mood for the play, which he uses as a way of communicating with Helen, apologizing to her. "Are you listening?" Harry asks her, in reference to some advise he has been giving her. "Yes, I'm listening," she answers, but we know that it is Nicky and not Harry she is listening to. This play, like the first, deals with people caught in a web of despair. Woolley again plays the lead foie (Harry), and is again touching and believable. Judith Felton, as Helen, Is superb.

Whether it be tuning up for the next number or taking a final bow, the group is as confident and professional as any around. And last Thursday night they showed a sell-out crowW at the Century Theater just why they've been around for a long, long time. The group has gone through numerous musical and personnel changes, but this current version seems to be pretty tight. The old stand-bys are still there: Mick Fleetwood, with his exaggerated and impeccable drumming; John McVie, very quietly playing his bass in the shadows of the amplifiers; and Christine McVie, crooning and swaying, shaking her hair teasingly while pounding on a piano. mystifying, Mellow But the "newcomers" aren't all that bad either. Stevie Nicks floats all over the stage, making graceful yet obscene little gestures but singing with a powerful voice. And Lindsey Buckingham, shirt opened to his navel, dancing and pracing all over the stage, talks to his guitar his hands and makes it sing back loud and clear. Together these with individuals form one of the assembled. most unique and talented bands ever Rocking with the first chord, Fleetwood Mac didn't look back long enough to see if the audience could catch up. Sticking mostly to new material, they showed faithful followers that they could play rock and roll, even though their reputation for mellowness is well deserved. Buckingham never once seemed inhibited, and every time the spotlight hit him he took advantage of it. Up and down, in and out, he caressed his guitar to get some of the best sounds the Century's old walls ever had a chance to echo. The rest of the band followed his lead. But Mick Fleetwood had complete control, and everyone in the band knew it. His grotesque facial expressions and exaggerated motions may have looked like an innocent act, but imperceptible nods and gestures gave the band something to focus on. He was in command; there was no doubt about it. He knew what the crowd wanted and when they wanted it, and in most cases, he gave it to them by Bill Maraschiello Arts Editor “Man is a destroyer," says deSade in Marat/Sade. “But if he destroys and takes no pleasure in it, he is a .machine. He should destroy with passion, like a man." In that sense, Lucien Lacombe, the 18-year-old French peasant about whom Lacombe, Lucien centers, is the most absolute of machines. It is 1944, and Lucien is part of the Gestapo, engaged in hunting down members of the French underground. Not only does he destroy without passion, he never performs an action that betokens the presence of appreciable any emotion. He is a totally self-contained universe; his view of the world is not unlike that of the Aristotleans who found it impossible to conceive that the earth was not the center of the universe. the word is Similarly, Lucien is a creature composed solely of correct, he is less than human needs. (Desires, being emotional in nature, are alien - — to him as are any vindictive impulses. He performs according to our social models for "civilized" living, but there is no motivation: his manners are waste motions without meaning He most resembles a zoo no monger wild, but coldly savage beyond animal - - denial.) accident or a feat of breathtaking, artless acumen matters little. He succeeds totally in the role, bringing an authentic naturalness to this most "unnatural" of roles (or, in a way, most truly natural). After a time, his stony, near-motionless features seem set in constant definace; one grows enraged at his impassivity. But however stony Blaise remains, he never grows lifeless; what he lacks is not life, but animation. Even more than Frankenstein's monster, Lucien is the human animal, Man without a soul. Compare Lucien's soullessness, though, with that of the other French who have "converted" to the Gestapo, the men with whom Lucien works. Consider their delight in torturing the resistance leader who rejected Lucien's attempt to join the underground, and their constant coarseness and vulgarity. Malle forces us to make a highly polaric choice; is inhumanity performed coldly and mechanically? Would you rather be murdered by a maniac or by a machine? reflection: the apropos additional, the and film, in is of bloodier guilty, "resistance" more intemperate acts of outrage than those we see the Gestapo performing. Lucien, certainly, would be doing much the same were he among them, but "with God on his side" this time. The true inhumanity the war is far distant; what at first like the roar of cannon turns out to be may sound merely thunder. An — Master caster Malle casts as Lucien young Pierre Blaise, a real French country boy who has not only never acted before, but has seen hardly any films. Knowing this before one sees the film, this may appear to be of superficial relevance and questionable real value The on screen results, however, prove Malle's instinct to lie unerring Not only Malle's, but Blaise's instinct as well; whether his total embodiment of Lucien is a lucky — War is peace In fact, although the tide of the battle is about to turn in favor of the Allies, the French town where most of Lacombe, Lucien takes place could hardly be under less of a state of siege; our preconceptions of the way of life in a "conquered land" fail to hold. —continued on page 12— What's the buzz For instance, during a break between songs, someone yelled out to fix the buzzing that seemed so loud and obnoxious throughout the show And when John McVie said it annoyed him as well, the audience started getting restless. But Fleetwood simply tapped out a rhythm and Chris McVie started into an old favorite, "Spaie Me A Little," from Bare Trees The crowd applauded appreciably, settling back to listen to Chris' sweet melody Fleetwood was in command, and the audience respected his authority The highlight of the evening had to be Stevie Nicks' "Rhiannon, from their new album Starting out slowly and (tauntingly, Stevie told the story of the mysterious lady that everyone wants to love And when Buckingham started in, she stepped aside and became that lady, gliding and swaying to his long and breathtaking solo It is think the questionable that the song could be done any better, and band knew it I Don Juan After a few more songs from their new album, including "Monday Morning" and "Blue Letter," Chris McVie stepped out from behind her piano to take the spotlight with the group's current hit, "World Turning." Fleetwood strutted off his platform with a conga drum, doing a unique but effective drum solo which was also greatly appreciated. The band joined in again, and the three part harmony of McVie, Nicks and Buckingham never sounded better. The encore was a surprise: they played "Hypnotized” from Mystery To Me. Probably the most recognizable number the group has ever done, it is a very difficult song to perform live But they carried it off well, although it didn't seem to fit in quite as well with the rest of the songs of the evening. Perhaps that's what the band wanted, though. Another rocker would have meant another encore, and even though they only played an hour and a quarter, it is inconceivable to me that they could have had energy enough to play longer. Warm ups Only two things kept the concert from being a perfect evening. The two warm up bands. Week End and The Amazing Rhythm Aces, were competent but far from entertaining. Surely the crowd was anxiously awaiting Fleetwood, McVie, and Company, but it seems to me a good warm-up could only help the audience. For what Harvey and Corky paid them, they might have been able to come up with another group that the crowd would have been more receptive to. Last, but not least by any means, was the buzz that started during Weed-End and ended when they told everyone to go home. Not only did it annoy the crowd and the musicians, it made it difficult to understand announcements and song introductions. Repair work did nothing to improve the situation and only made the wait for Fleetwood Mac that much longer. Hopefully the sound system can be improved before the next show, because it seems that these difficulties pop up concert after concert. It's too simple a way to ruin good John Trig!Ho evenings Prodigal Sun Friday, 17 October 1975 . The Spectrum .

Anyway, Cliff's portrayal of Ivan captured the soul of many a disenfranchised white suburban youth (rude boy as punk) and opened many eyes to the beauty of reggae spirit. The Harder They Come soundtrack at first faded from the racks, only to resurface and sell like crazy when the move was discovered and made into a cult. With the soundtrack Cliff showed himself to be an innovator: hence by Joe Fernbacher Special to The Spectrum in the long run more important than Bob Marley; a musician struggling for something more than individual identity. Struggling, indeed, after thS initial success of The Harder The Come Cliff was misguided into a feigned stardom and produced a number of slick, more soul than reggae, Ips, Unlimited and Music Maker neither of which had the emotive force of the first album. But again, in the current wave of reggae resurgence. Cliff has released a new album entitled. Follow My Mind which shows that he is an innovator, not the poet, we'll leave that to Marley who's much better at it than Cliff, and as an innovator he'll be the prime force behind the eventual success of reggae in the States. Comparatively speaking. Bob Marley's the Elvis of reggae; and Jimmy Cliff is the Jerry Lee Lewis, with Toots and the Maytals following close behind as reggae's answer to Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. The exact origins of the reggae beat are shrouded in a gauzy sheet of unheralded instances no one had the foresight to preserve for sake of future histories, and in a strange and wonderful way, that's good, because it lends a touch of magic to reggae music that hints of dark rituals and voodoo. Actually, if one were to attempt and trace the spread of reggae, you'd have to give an enormous amount of credit to the mid-fifties r & b slippin' and a sliddin’ through the airwaves from New Orleans to the West Indies. Many a Jamaican danced to the beat of Fats Domino, Huey 'Piano' Smith and Louis Jordon, whilst drinking beer down on Beeston Street with the rude boys and sound system operators. Of course, at the time it wasn't called reggae music, it was called Ska. Ska was originated by Lyn Tail and came because of his experiments with two-guitar interplays that created a jerky shuffling rhythm, whose infectiousness caused many a pair of feet to jump for joy on the dance floor. From Ska, to Blue Beat, to Rock Steady; which presented a new style on the musical arrangement; horn sections and heavy piano sections were de-emphasized and the accent was shifted to guitar and bass, further adding to the complex textures of the music. about • Rasta man Meanwhile, as Lyn Tail was experimenting with creating the music of West Indian street life, another factor began to creep into the beat. Up until this piont it had been a purely musical adventure, when the Rastas began to influence the music they gave it a strong and evocative philosophical base, a stance that has grown considerably over the years. The Rastas, and Rastafarianism, have a multi-faceted set of doctrines which range from the plea of Marcus Garvey for repatriation, to the jah divinity of Ras Tafari who was crowned Emperor Haile Selassie, King of Kings, the conquering Lion of Judah. Yet, the most visible aspect of the Rasta movement was the reports of violence in the thirties by the Niyabingi Order: Ethiopians who contended that racial war was the only way to be rid of white domination. As if the Niyamen weren't enough, the Rastas began to cite Psalms for justification to smoke pounds and pounds of ganji. So, the Rastas added a philosophy of violent overthrow of Babylon, dope smoking and religious fervor to the music of the West Indian streets, thereby giving it the inner strength to not only survive, but eventually, become extremely popular in Babylon, a true revolutionary cultural musicality. Musically speaking, the most influential moment in the reggae movement occurred when a white Jamaican, Chris Blackwell, formed Island records and later, 1968, merged with the owners of the Coxsone and Blue Cat labels to form Trojan Records, the single most important label in contemporary reggae music. Such internationally known reggae artists as Toots and the Maytals, Jimmy Cliff, the Soul Vendors and Bob Marley and the Wailers had their beginnings on the Trojan label. lOR TOAST PLUS 2 COUNTR^ JFRESH EGGS, as you like 3 *105 ’em.» _ I 3300 SHERIDAN DRIVE ? -3632 UNION 3_.

Why not? It's only rock n' roll, really!

Back to Cliff. His first exposure to the masses in the States came in a little viewed film called ,The Harder They Come, which is about Ivan, a country boy, who wants, and does, to become a recording star, gets shafted from the white-controlled record label, runs dope, kills a cop and finally does a John Wayne on all the police after him. The Harder They Come just might be the best rock n' roll - - Sally Quinn, We're Going to Make You a Star (Simon & Schuster 1975, $7.95) One rainy Saturday in February 1974, Sally Quinn sat alone and read, for the first time, the initial reviews of her debut as co-anchorperson on the CBS Morning News. “I sat on my bed and sobbed as I read each review over and over and remembered the pain. I wanted to explain things to the critics, who had so much to criticize legitimately about CBS and about my ineptitude and lack of experience, but who instead contented themselves with cutting personal attacks." The result is We're Going to Make You a Star, a sometimes hilarious, gossipy narration of Quinn's childhood as an Army brat (she became known as a bitch, as she later learned from Kris Kristofferson), her landing a job at the Washington Post with no journalism experience (only her social connections), her being offered and accepting the CBS position, and her return to the Post. The heart of the book relates the machinations of the CBS leviathan, providing an insider's glimpse of the human side of those faces that are so familiar: Mike Wallace is "the worst gossip;" Walter Cronkite is "the most decent;" John Chancellor has "great integrity," Charles Collingwood is "terribly pompous;" and Ray Gandorff is "the strong, silent, Hemingway type." Besides Quinn herself, it is Hughes Rudd who is the main attraction; he's an irreverent knight saving time after time, both the News and Sally Quinn, Finally, Quinn, as others before her, hands us woman, no cry Follow My Mind not only takes up where The Harder They Come left off, but on many occasions is simply better. A right off the bat example is Cliff's rendition of Marley's, "No Woman, No Cry;" a tune that'll soon be the battle cry of reggaeitis. This rendition also points up the fact that on many occasions in music, especially rock oriented music, the creator of the song has his song enhanced by another vocalist's arrangement, a classic example of this was Lou Reed's song, "Rock n' Roll" which Lou did fairly on the fourth Velvet Underground album. Everyone was happy with Lou's version until Mitch Ryder and Detroit came along and made the song the classic it is today. On the three versions of "No Woman, No Cry" currently circulating: the studio version from the Waiters' Natty Dread Ip; the live 45 version by the Waiters recorded at the Lyceum in London, England; and the version on the Jimmy Cliff, the Cliff rendition is more spiritually fulfilling and musically superior. Cliff's vocal adds dimensions to a song which already had about 12 dimensions. Two other songs are noteworthy as innovations in the genre. One is the title track "Follow My Mind" with Cliff's sublime vocal careening through the ether and his sense of self overwhelming all it comes in contact with. This is an example of the "new" reggae style, one that is imbued with lush, yet simple, production values and directly stated polemics. The other song, which equates quite nicely with the intent of The Harder They Come is "Hypocrites." For those interested in seeing reggae for themselves, UUAB will be presenting Jimmy Cliff and Taj Mahal in concert on Thursday, October 23, in the Century Theater. If you've seen The Harder They Come, and if you've never had the reggae experience, this'll be the show of the shows. Of further note is the fact that on November 2 at the Loew's Buffalo, the UUAB Music Committee will be bringing yet another reggae-oriented show. This time it'll be Toots and the Maytals fronted by Americas only rock n' roll band, Little Feat. This one shapes up as the spiritual event of the year for musicophiles. Our Weekly Reader indictment of New York City for being the superficial, status-conscious, ulcer-producing environment that provincials have always known it to be Obviously CBS Morning News buffs will be interested in the gossip Quinn provides. If you're a buff, however, be forewarned; you're going to need a cast iron stomach to jerk your way through these pages. Her style may be palatable on newsprint, but its continual hammering close "I had agreed to stay paragraphs with ctyptic summary sentences over the next day and write a pilot," "I agreed to stay over and film the pilot the next day;" "It was too easy;" "Amen;" "1 would wait a month or two" induces stupor over the span of 256 pages. it must have been, And if the book was intended as humorous since there is certainly no tragic importance given to, say, the assassination of Robert Kennedy for whom Quinn was working in San it is primarily redeemed by the inclusion of Francisco at the time transcripts of the CBS Morning News. These passages speak for themselves and really don't require Quinn's commentary on them. (An edition of the transcripts would be more welcome than this book.) Sally Quinn was "offered the job of knocking Barbara Walters off the air" not because of her television experience but because of her "reputation as an irreverent Washington reporter." Without any training, as she points out ad nauseam, it is little wonder that she failed as a broadcaster, and it is for this very reason that she fails as an author. Journalese, designed for quick consumption in small doses, does not, one learns, necessarily make a good book. —C. Banning an — — — - Friday, 17 October 1975 . The Spectrum . Page thirteen �each. Yet, the dynamism alluded to in the diagonal interaction between large and small cube is an arrested one, since the stone is no longer organic but rigidly geometric. It is as if these cubes and their arrested interaction are the “Consummate M ask of Rock,” they and the rationality they symbolize are the perfected masks which cover the need for human All in all, Nauman's companionship. exhibit reflects the idea that rationality often deters the emotions which make man human, that man too often masks his desires, his humanity, with a machine like Albright-Knox Emphasis is on ideas by Janice Simon Spectrum Arts Staff Silence, the minimal, the mysterious and the incomprehensible, confront those who enter the exhibition room. A square measuring 30 feet on a side is formed by eight groups of limestone cubes, each group consisting of one 15 inch and one 14 inch cube diagonally opposed to each other. Upon a side wall are a few preparatory drawings and the proof for the printed sheets of poems of which the viewer may take a copy. This is Bruce Nauman's "The Consummate Mask of Rock" now on view at the Albright Knox Art Gallery until November 9. The simplicity of the exhibition alone disturbs the viewer, for it seems that there should be more, that visual art is more than a smooth cubic stone forming a square. This irritation of the spectator as to what art is, what its limits are and what elements are necessary to create art is a major concern of Nauman's exhibit. Bruce is specifically involved with Nauman exploring beyond the established concepts of art, as this exhibition reveals. Unlike traditional works of visual art, Nauman's exhibit combines the literary with the visual. In fact, due to the extreme reduction of the visual aspect of the exhibition, the literary, which is a collection of sentences playing with the words mask, need, cover, rock, truth, pain. and fidelity human companionship, predominates especially since one can take a copy home to ponder over, pushing the cubes to the back of one's mind. What occurs is an emphasis on the idea of the exhibit rather than on the art object itself, as is the tendency in traditional art works. Even the sketches and the attention given to them in the exhibition (hanging on the wall a copy is xeroxed for the viewer to take home) reflect this concept.

Apparently, Nauman concerned with evoking a mood of contrast Iretween the emotions suggested in his poem, like pain, need and desire, and the implied by the rational restraint arrangement of the cubes and their austere quality Having the cubes diagonally placed alludes to interaction, perhaps that which the concept of human is inherent in companionship Nariman's drawings even reveal this concern with the diagonal,/for the diagonals of the square are noted in & H,ml Theatre is For t Drive Tiiik as nothing, as just a simple e, or to be more precise, nonexistent.

Garfunkel's material consists of mainly slow to medium tempo, ballads that try to showcase his ultra-high voice. This album features three cover versions of other artists' songs as well as the long awaited reunion with Paul Simon on one song. The album, although very disappointing and plastic, does have a couple of bright spots. "My Little Town," written and co-sung by Simon, is about as good a comeback song for Simon and Garfunkel as could be hoped for. It's filled with all the energy and excitement of S&G's "The Boxer," and the vocals are sung with feeling and intensity. With the way both Simon and Garfunkel's careers are going, it wouldn't be much of a surprise to find out they were getting back together on a permanent basis. Simon's last album sold much less than anticipated, and his recent single featuring Phoebe Snow failed to make the top 20, which for a Paul Simon has to be considered a flop. Garfunkel's last few singles have bombed and he appears to be orr the verge of losing his old S&G following. All things recording Joni Mitchell's "Judgement of the Moon and Stars." One good aspect of the album is the production work of Richard Perry. Perry knows all the angles of production and an Art Garfunkel poses no challenge to him. The instrumental backing suitably fits Garfunkel's voice with excellent arrangements of both horns and strings. The musicians are all first rate, with Larry Knechtal on piano, Joe Osborn on bass, and John Guerin on drums, among others. The biggest flaw of the album is the choice of material. Garfunkel obviously needs guidance as to considered, the most logical thing for the two to do would be to reunite. The other highlight of the album is the remake of the old Flamingos hit, "I Only Have Eyes For You." The song was tailor made for Garfunkel's voice and he gives a masterful rendition of this aged standard. Unfortunately, the eight tracks aside from "I Only Have Eyes For You" and "My Little Town," are at best mediocre. They're either second rate remakes of other artists' compositions or your typical easy listening ballads. Garfunkel's biggest mistake was recording the Beach Boys' "Disney Girls." Art Garfunkel simply should not be recording Beach Boy songs. It's comparable to Helen Reddy Paul Simon, Still Crazy — what songs to choose and what not to choose. Unless this album is intended as a vehicle for a new career in Las Vegas, which it may very well be, Garfunkel has shown an almost complete abandonment of his folk-rock roots. Garfunkel should reunite with Simon and get down to business again or he'll croon his way into Vegas only to become another nightclub singer a la Andy Williams and Wayne Newton. —Steven Brieff After All These Years (Columbia) that's getting there. In the title cut, he sings beautifully some melodic notes. His voice is still as pleasing as every. He's also dropped his political commentary in song but his voice still contains a feeling of paranoia. The concept of the album is very nostalgic. All of the songs tell about his childhood, when he first got married and the constant love he has for his wife. He starts this mood right off, telling about a reunion with an ex-flame: / met my old lover/On the street last night/She seemed so glad to see me, I just smiled/And we talked about some old times/And we drank ourselves \ 1 | SS i Ka W HAiSter Donut® some beers/StiH crazy after all these years . . . Art Garfunkel joins him in a song about Simon’s childhood and the experiences in school he called "My Little Town:" In my little town/1 grew up believing/God kept His eye on us all/And He used to lean upon rpe/As pledged allegiance to the wad/L ord recall/My little / / town. . . don't know why Simon sticks to the same mode throughout his album, but he stilt shows his genius in songwriting on this album. And to hear Simon and Garfunkel together again for one song really leaves you in an optimistic frame of mind. Still Crazy After AH These Years, an album with an appropriate title, makes you wish Simon would make a different kind of music.

To the critic with an inquiring ear and a probing and razor sharp mind ( like this humble critic's) the reason is only too obvious. Olivia is craftily mocking the mechanization and de humanization of a post-industrial society run by greedy capitalists. It is a tribute to Fig's talents she can hide such an urgent message behind a shabby and plastic veneer. But Olivia isn't satisfied with merely playing the role of the scathing social critic. Oh no, she also understands the revolutionary potential of rock and roll. Her rendition of "Summertime Blues" shakes with sweat (yes, Olivia perspires occasionally) and rolls with raunch showing the Who, Blue Cheer and that old, fat fool Elvis just how the song should be done. It is a triumph, an instant classic. Rumors are circulating in rockdom that John Denver and Fig, for the sake of eugenics and the music world in general, plan to rear a covey of androgenous offspring. The possibility of such a union is mindboggling. Just think, it could be the start of a super race of blonde haired, blue eyed creatures like the King Family. But until speculation is given birth to by reality, Olivia Newton-John's Clearly Love is no cheap affair or decadent infatuation. It displays all the depth and maturity of Helen Reddy in her "I Am —OtisB. Driftwood Woman" period.

[ savages 1 It's been a couple of years since we last heard from Paul Simon. And now he's come back with some of his old musical crew, including Art Garfunkel and Phoebe Snow, and he's brought us his latest creation, Still Crazy After AH These Years. Unfortunately, it doesn't meet up to either of his first two efforts and results in a mixed blessing. What troubles me about this album is that Simon doesn't get into the variety of music he had in the first two solo albums. There aren't any Spanish-influenced tunes like "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard" or rhythm and blues attempts like "One Man's Ceiling is Another Man's Floor." He prefers to remain folksy with immaculate string and horn arrangements. Simon never gets around to displaying a faster and different change of pace until the second side, when he does "Gone at Last," with Phoebe Snow and the Jesse Dixon Singers, a gospel-ish tune done in a quick beat. Right after that, he reverts right back to the usual folk music. Let's not knock it altogether, though. Garfunkel may have the beautiful voice, but Simon has a voice Olivia Newton-John, Clearly Love (MCA) Just when the musical world is critically hamstrung with a terminal case of noncreativity, Olivia.

Page fifteen �Dan Fogelberg, Captured Angel (Epic) Someone once suggested, that if you wanted something done right, "You'd have to do it yourself." To put it as simply as possible, Dan Fogelberg's new album. Captured Angel is a one-man masterpiece. Fogelberg has written, produced and is responsible for all the instruments (with the exception of drums and an occasional bass) throughout the album. On Captured Angel all the flashy musicianship and gimmicky production instituted by most recognition crazed musicians has been put aside in favor of a more deliberate and better planned style that lights up artistry in big bold letters. Fogelberg fits into the Eagles/Jackson Browne school of country rock. He spent a good deal of the past year touring with the Eagles, and familiarity between the two is evident. But he easily outclasses his predecessors. His music lacks the tacky and simplistic rhythms and harmonies that have rocketed the Eagles into the pop spotlight. Dan has instead chosen to venture off into a more personalized style that utilizes acoustic and electric instrumentation much like America while adding a gritty country and western flavor to many of the songs. Cgptured Angel is a very personal album. The lyrics evoke a feeling of self reflection and inner thought. They are of a poetic nature. Hedging on a contemplation of the past, while setting up a game plan for the future: One too many days I've felt forgotten And one too many nights I've slept alone.

Too much of the music on this album sounds the same; if the seven-second break between songs were shortened just enough, one might think it is a pause between sections of the same song. The instrumentaion is diverse enough; the band employs flutes, saxes and clarinets to achieve many interesting effects. The guitar work on the part of Taj Mahal has some beautiful Flamenco overtones. The band utilizes percussion, however, with the most proficiency, especiail\ to achieve the distinctive Carribean sound known as reggae. Taj Mahal has an ability to diversify his vocals enough so that we don't crave another singer as in many other single-vocalist bands. He has the guttural raunchiness of a Sly Stone, but can easily swoon with a smoothness that is clearly Marvin Gaye influenced.

"Aristocracy" has a terrific New Orleans Mardi Gras arrangement, but is marred by an awful recitation of mediocre poem by Inshirah Mahal which serves only as a distraction to the fine background music. The album is flawed, and lacks sophistication. Yet, if you enjoy simple, well-executed reggae music, the album should prove a pleasant experience. Tom T. Hall, Greatest Hits, Volume 2 (Mercury) Country music is a genre that doesn't usually appeal to students. Leading country singers, like Merle Haggard, have written lyrics rather hostile to all them radical young kids ("Okie from Muskogee," "Fightin' Side of Me"). The appeal of country music has nothing to do with the music itself, and fpr that matter, a high quality <of singing isn't really necessary. What country music does rely on is identification with the lyrics. The lyrics tend to be about working in sawmills and factories, about small town poverty, about loved ones leaving on Greyhounds, about all sorts of things not usually in the experience of largely urban, middle-class college students. For those who can relate to the lyrics, though, country music is a strong expression of the bittersweet life America offers tens of millions of its people. Tom T. Hall writes bittersweet songs for rather mellow country fans. While he doesn't have the hardboiled redneck approach of Merle Haggard, he avoids the country commercialism of Johnny Cash and others. His songs have titles like "Country Is," "I Like Beer," "Who's Gonna Feed Them Hogs," and "Deal" (no, it's about cards). —Jerry Page sixteen . The Spectrum .

This Ordinance makes interesting reading. It prohibits, among many the display of any picture, movie, book, magazine, etc., “the cover or content of which exploits, is devoted to, or is principally made up of descriptions or depictions of illict sex or sexual immorality.” “Aha,” I thought as I read that, “the framers of this law were trying to impose their own sexual norms on the rest of us it is directed against what they think of as “kinky sex.” After all, I reasoned, ‘“consensual sodomy’ i.e., acts involving contact between penis and anus, mouth and penis, or mouth and is (unfortunately) illegal in this state vulva both for homosexual and heterosexual unmarried couples; after all, the Bible prohibits at least the first of such sexual acts between males; and after all, the framers of this law are religious (by and large, Roman Catholic), law-abiding, sexually conventional, utterly narrow-minded, intolerant, American citizens.” Boy, was I wrong! I mean, if only the new ordinance were noo worse than that! But it is. Reading on, I learned that “illicit sex or immorality” does mean “sodomy.” But according to this Ordinance, it also means “acts of human masturbation, sexual intercourse fondling or other erotic touching of human genitals, pubic region, buttock or female breast.” Yet not one of these acts is prohibited by the laws of the United States, New York, Erie County, or the City of Buffalo. In other words, they are plainly not “illicit.” Okay, so the framers went a bit overboard, their righteous zeal led them into a little gross illogic. (Imagine, calling the missionary position “illicit”!) No they did more than that. They showed their hand. By defining practically a//"sexual activity as “illicit and immoral,” they practically admitted that the aim of this law is not to protect children from “evil,” but to protect everybody from sex. Worse, it’s not just sexual activity that’s “illicit and immoral,” but even “human genitals in a state of sexual stimulation or arousal.” In other words, according to the framers of this law, there’s something very wrong, which should be punished, about pictures or descriptions of human beings who are sexually excited or in any way alive to their own and others’ attractiveness. This is an Anti-Excitement Ordinance, directed against Desire. so-called like every the way, By “anti-obscenity” law I’ve ever read, this Ordinance uses strings of fancy words to say and disparage what its authors don’t (or pretend they e.g., don’t) like and are therefore outlawing lust, passion, lascivious, indecent, lewd, prurient, intelligent, but liberated, The obscene. inexperienced or unwary reader might think that each of these words had, at least in law, a precise, unique meaning; that each pointed to not just sex, but to specific conduct and feelings that — — - every “moral” man or woman is or ought to be ashamed of. Such a reader might never suspect that all of these words mean, suggest, and attempt to degrade, just about the same thing viz. sexual desire. The leading American college dictionary, for instance, defines “prurient” as defines '‘lascivious in thought or desire, “lascivious” in turn as “lewd, lustful,” defines “lust” in turn as “intense sexual desire,” and “lewd” as “sexually unchaste . . . obscene,” etc., etc. If your head is spinning from going around in such circles, you can regain some balance by thinking about Dr. Kinsey’s definition of a viz. “someone who has “nymphomaniac” more sex than you do.” Two. The new Ordinance also prohibits display of any book or magazine “the cover or content of which . . . consists of pictures of nude or partially denuded figures posed or presented in a manner to provoke or arouse lust or passion” whether or not the figures themselves are doing or feeling anything even remotely sexual. But this makes no sense. By disregarding differences ir\ individual response, it seems to prohibit almost every picture and almost no picture of a human being, at the same time. 1 mean, there are certain “figures” let’s face it which, whatever they’re wearing or not wearing, and however they’re “posed or presented,” will almost invariably “arouse lust or passion" in certain observers. On the other hand, there are certain moods which almost everyone gets into from time to time, when the sight ot almost any reasonably good-looking figure will "arouse lust or passion.” (Then again, there are other moods when almost nothing not even the sight of one of those super-sexy figures 1 mentioned earlier could possibly arouse lust or passion.) - — - - - One thing the framers of this Ordinance don’t seem to understand is that there are no absolute canons of provocativeness. no universal not even any "local criteria of what’s sexy guidelines.” Being turned on is only to a limited degree a function of the "prevailing standards in the adult community” (another phrase from this Ordinance), of conventional good looks and “types.” Whether or not a man or woman will be sexually aroused by this or that sight depends on his or her total physical and psychological ultimately, on a combination ol makeup heredity and environment, particularly very early childhood. We may speak, perhaps, ot the “sexual instincts of the species” when discussing the mating habits of bees and even dogs. But whether one human being will be sexually aroused by the sight of another is a complicated, as yet unpredictable, function of individual sexual orientation (i.e., degree to which one is homoerotic or heteroerotic), taste, and mood. Ah! But now, I suspect we’re coming to the heart of the matter. For I wouldn’t be at all surprised sexual to learn that it is precisely these things the orientation, taste, mood, even fantasies exictemenl and growth of individual minds as well as bodies, that the framers of this Ordinance have opted avidly, though perhaps not quite consciously, to regulate. - - - � � � o c At least they (the framers) look that way at least they did on September 30 in City Hall, when the Common Council unanimously approved the Ordinance, after approximately five minutes of "deliberation.” By the “framers,” I don’t mean only, or even primarily, members of the Council. Although Councilman Raymond Lewandowski proposed this Ordinance, he didn't write it. In fact, it is based pretty closely (in large word for word) on a “model sections, anti-obscenity law” drawn up by Morton Hill. S.J., of “Morality in Media,” a national organization which through local groups has recently been pushing it, often heavy-handedly, and almost invariably with the active backing if not at the instigation of the Roman Catholic Church, in towns and cities across the nation. II the group in the public gallery of the Council Chamber on September 30 was any clue, Buffalo is no exception. Aside from a dozen or so representatives from the Free Libertarian Party and the Gay Community Services Center, the audience, most of whom evidently knew one another, consisted almost exclusively of priests, overstuffed and/or withered, middle-aged and older women (including quite a lew nuns in old-fashioned full habits and one square-faced, extraordinarily pale lady in Salvation Army uniform), and old men (notably, one bag of bones and wrinkles modestly embalmed in American Legion drag). - (0 5* o bMi S3 Most of these people were wearing lots of crosses, anti-Equal Rights Amendment metal buttons, medals, religious and military insignia of many varieties. They seemed protected, or at least covered, by a sort of armor. And not just external armor, but their very muscles seemed to be arranged to protect them from moving, breathing, and feeling freely. I’m speaking, 1 suppose, of the physical “character armor” which Wilhelm Reich first described and accounted for e g., tense scalp and forehead, stiff neck and shoulders, rigid back, cramps, sunken jerkiness. immobile facial muscular defenses against eyeballs, cold sweat the release of "vegetative” energy, against the expression of liveliness and potency. - - - Incidentally, few of those who sat in the "anti-obscenity section” seemed likely to be the aprents of children under seventeen most were avowed celibates and/or just looked too old. Don't get me wrong: I'm not speaking against the Aged (I wish them health, productivity, and a the sort of old age I myself am wild sex life till the day they die), the looking forward to Ascetic, the Desexed, or even against the just-plain-not-very-erotic. But if people no longer feel sexual desire, or will themselves to repress or deny what desire they feel, let them at least have the courtesy to keep to themselves, to repress only their own desires, to spread premature death elsewhere. Mr. Mayor, please veto this Ordinance. Members of the Council, repeal it before it’s too late.

Mikoll. Jomo was originally charged with first degree murder of inmates Kenneth Hess and Barry Schwartz (three counts), first degree kidnapping of Hess, Schwartz, and eight prison employees (38 counts), coercion (two counts) and unlawful imprisonment (two counts). The following is the text of a statement by Jomo explaining his decision. 1 am accepting a plea to "coercion” which will end the five indictments against me in which 1 would be facing over 40 sentences of 20 years to life imprisonment. In everyday terms, this means that I am hopeful that I do not have- to serve any more time in New York State, and now be returned to Virginia’s penitentiary where 1 will work to secure my release on parole as soon as possible. I have done as much and taught as much as I can Irom prison. I have told about the massacre by the State at Attica (which 1 witnessed and which nearly killed me) in every forum available to me.

I took and passed a lie-detector test that was administered by the former commanding officer of the South Brooklyn homicide squad.

This is not to say we shouldn’t defend ourselves in the courtroom or wherever if we are attacked, and I feel we should aid in every possible way we feel necessary those who have no choice but to defend themselves there. But I feel that if someone can come out of prison without putting somebody in their place, they’d be a fool not to go. I’m not going through no more changes on this level here. I want to go to the street, and I’m not putting anybody down to get there. I’m not going to put nobody in my cell to get me out, but like I say, anytime I can get out prison under these conditions without putting somebody in my place, I’ll be a damn fool not to go. Especially when all I would be doing by keeping on messing with these cases is keeping Attica and its horrors alive in a way that the gravy train can keep on rolling, people getting fat, rip-off artists pimping the people in the name of the Attica Brothers. I will not by choice continue to participate in anything which amounts to vultures feeding off a carcass that is my life. by Diane Auerbach Special to The Spectrum (CPS) Registration lines crawled slower than usual this fall at many campuses, as overall college enrollment increased slightly. Yet the lines could have been much longer. Although there are more high school graduates than ever before, Jewer are opting for a college degree, lowering the rate of increase in college enrollment. “People think that this is the end of the baby boom era, that there are fewer college-aged people. This isn’t the case. Fewer are choosing to go to college,” says Jay Stampen, statistical expert at the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU). According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of high school graduates in the country has grown from 2.9 million in 1.970 to 3.1 million in 1975, increasing 7 percent in the past five years. Yet the percentage of those high school graduates who have gone on to college has dropped steadily from an all-time high of 55 percent in 1968 to 47 percent in 1974 l.xperts predict that the downturn will continue for several more years. - Slate box £ • • • about the State police bullets, and about the cover-up I feel the only thing I would accomplish by going to trial now would be to spend money I don’t have, and take a chance on getting twenty-to-life.

But a frequently given reason for declining college attendance, the end of the draft, was not a major factor, according to Slampen "Attendance began declining in 1068, long before the end of the Vietnam war and the draft,” he says. Tuition up Whether the major factor lor declining attendance or not, college costs have jumped drastically. According to a soon-to-be-released Office of I duration study, tuition is rising faster than the consumer price index.

Lipsack, director of Purdue University’s Office of Manpower Studies. Lipsack recently completed a survey of Indiana high school students and found that a smaller proportion of them planned to attend college. “There was a feeling that the job market for college graduates is saturated,” Lipsack says. “The students think, ‘God, you gel a degree and you still can’t get a job!’ The enrollment forecast calls for more gathering clouds.

The announcement that the policy was terminated by Secretary of State Arthur Schlesinger came in a letter to Javits from Thomas W. Carr, Director of Defense. “It’s just as well they rescinded the practice;-!! didn’t seem to have much justification behind it in the first place,” Robert Fitzpatrick, the Acting Vice President for Research at the University, told The civilians who were pursuing graduate studies in engineering, business and medicine. The end of ROTC signaled the end of their financial assistance. Now these people can once again come to this University, and be fully funded by the Defense Department, if they take a program which is academically justified. Fitzpatrick noted, however, that during the time the school was on the “blacklist,” the University continued to receive research grants from the Defense Department. The University dropped ROTC in 1971 because the enrollment had steadily declined, making the program’s continuation unjustified. Other schools, Fitzpatrick stated, had different reasons for eliminating their ROTC programs. The other schools on the “blacklist” were: Harvard University, Yale University, Stanford University, Columbia University, Dartmouth College, Brown University. Colgate University, Boston College, Boston University, New York University, Tufts Institute, Hobard College, and Pratt Institute. Six of these schools are located in New York State. Spectrum.

Overmatched competition has hurt the fall season, but basketball competition could really stir up interest teams if the themselves get psyched to win the title. Mostly, though, time is the key. The success of Big Four depends much more on where it is in five years than on where it is some now. PUMPKINS Surrounded y We're C’mon by 'Em M ALL YOU ... Steps to bus 24 hr. food service available Big four division a success by Larry Amoros Spectrum Staff Writer There is something new on the Niagara Frontier sports scene this year: The Big Four Conference, composed of the area’s four major schools, State University at Buffalo, Buffalo State, Canisius and Niagara. And although the Conference’s inaugural season is only a month old, it appears that the Big Four is already a success. “I certainly think it’s been a success,” said Buffalo Athletic Director Harry Fritz. “It’s provided added interest so far, particularly in soccer and tennis.” Canisius College Athletic Director Daniel Starr agrees with Frit/, stating that "there’s been an increasing interest in this area in the past few years, and the tournament should further help this progress." The only negative aspect ol play so far, was the absence of Niagara at the tennis championships. “I wasn’t very satisfied when Niagara forfeited the tennis match,” commented Big Four commissioner Howard McAdams. “Otherwise, I thought that the competition was very good.” McAdams cited the golf tournament as being particularly well run, and the Soccer tourney as an excellent rivalry. Bull success From Buffalo’s standpoint, the tournament has been an enormous success, as the Bulls have won almost every competition they’ve entered to date, taking firsts in golf, soccer and tennis. The golf championships saw the Bulls shoot their best rounds of the year, and the soccer team won all of its games in the round robin soccer tourney The tennis Bulls also ran away from their local opponents this year. McAdams, Buffalo State’s Athletic Director, is the originator of the Big Four. He and the other athletic directors, Fritz, Starr, and Frank Layden of Niagara, met a year ago last summer to organize the CAN CARRY K •No lease • measured by the number of Big Four championships they have earned. Obviously, the Big Four cannot suddenly become the hottest thing in Western New York, but whether or not it has been at all popular so far is what tournaments.

Surprisingly, though, Buffalo’s Women’s Coordinator Barbara Sevier is not very enthusiastic about it. While she feels that the Big Four is certainly good promotion, she doubts that it will actually be of much use on an athletic level. Some of the suggested improvements for next year include publishing a newsletter about Big Four happenings, getting the coaches more deeply involved in the tournament structure, adding new teams to the tourney and possibly revamping the scoring system. Fritz commented, “We’d like to consolidate and plan a little better sort of expand the program.” At this time, the overall Big Four champion is determined by awarding the winners of each individual tournament a point, with the highest score winning the overall Big Four Championship. The awarding of the first place tournament will be done by Charley Young and Mike Cannally, sports editors of the Buffalo Evenings News and Courier express respectively. They are sponsoring the tournament in hopes of bringing spirited college rivalries back to the Buffalo area. - TONIGHT!! a of Cooreo) $2 50 program, noping to form a long lasting conference, and it appears that they have done so. “One of the main reasons for the tournament was to rekindle the students’ interest towards college athletics,” McAdams continued. The Bengals’ Athletic Director is not alone in his desire to see long range student involvement. Both Starr and Fritz feel the tournament should become a tradition, with strong rivalries built up between the schools. According to Fritz, the basketball competition is “real, real good among the best. There’s a lot of excellent golf in the Niagara Frontier, and the soccer has been surprisingly good.” I A Empire Card Daily 10 to 9-Sun. I to 6 •530 Seneca St. (kt. 16). Elma.

The recent publication of Victor Perlo’s new book, The Economics of Racism supports Gregory’s accusation by providing a compelling account of the connection between the discrimination against black people in all areas of economic life and the enormous corporate profits that result from this discrimination. It is not a new idea that racist discrimination is an integral part of capitalist society. Such critics of capitalism as W.E.B. Dubois and V.l. Lenin made this connection long ago. Lenin wrote: “The position of the Negroes in America in general is one unworthy of a civilized country , - capitalism give cannot either complete emancipation or even Shame on complete equality of the plight for the America ■* Negroes!” in 1972 or 27 percent of total business profits. This extra profit resulted from holding down the wages and salaries of black workers. In 1972, a high official in the telephone company testified before Congress that “what a telephone company needs to know about its labor market is who is available for work paying as little as $4000 to $5000 a year.” This official noted that two out of three persons available at that wage were black, and that is why the company was hiring them. Holding down the wages of blacks, particularly black women, has affected the labor market as a whole. Perlo explains that, “in a period of rapidly expanding demand for clerical labor, the availability of black female workers without alternative job possibilities was important to employers in enabling them to hold down the going wage for all female clerical workers.” ... Job discrimination Perlo’s study, which is based on government census figures, establishes that discrimination against blacks has increased in the 1970’s. Perlo calculates that the total amount of profits Contradictory reports Both the Nixon and Ford administrations have claimed that recent federal legislation requiring non-discriminatory hiring from employers halted the trend of discrimination against blacks. However, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, unemployment among blacks is twice as severe as among whites, both for men and women. Despite the passage of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972, little success has been achieved in realizing job opportunities for blacks. In 1972, of the 51,969 cases of hiring discrimination reported to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, only 28,337 were investigated, and only 726 of these cases were settled favorably. The median black family income in 1972 was only 59 percent of the median white family income, according to government statistics. In 1970, 14 percent of the white population, as opposed to 42.9 percent of the black population, had incomes below the official poverty level. Throughout the 1970’s the ratio of black to white family income has decreased. Even in 1973, when the economy had a boom year, there was nevertheless a sharp decrease in the ratio. Perlo explains that the political climate created by the Nixon administration allowed the racist practices of corporations to go unchallenged in this period. Blacks still occupy the least prestigious of occupations. Perlo points out that 59 percent of private household workers are black, 20 percent of industrial and farm laborers are black, and that in managerial and professional occupations, only three to five percent are blacks. In terms of job promotion, between 1960 and 1970, a young white man had more than three times the chance of a young black man of obtaining a high level promotion. Leaders in black liberation movement have for the most part rejected the Nixon-Ford proposal of black capitalism as the solution to the economic problems of the black population. In struggling against the influence of ideas which encouraged blacks to become capitalists, W.E.B. DuBois that the wrote: “I saw clearly solution of letting a few of our capitalists share with whites in the ... exploitation of our masses, would be a solution of our problem, but the forging of eternal chains.” Henry Winston, a black leader and National Chairman of the Communist Party of the United States of America, takes into account the use of racism by big business. In his book, Strategy for a Black Agenda, he claimed that discrimination against blacks only benefits the monopolies. Winston proposes that the only way racism will be ended is for blacks and whites to unite around a political that has an strategy anti-monopoly character to it. never Student services offer alternatives at minimal cost by Lang Schwartzapfel Spectrum Staff Writer A variety of special service organizations on and around the campus provide alternatives to commercial merchants and professionals who profit from student business but fail to provide these consumers with lower prices and educational benefits. The range of services, the operating structure, and the legal status, of each group are unique in that they cater to the special needs of students, long neglected by the businesses which claimed to serve them. Students at this University are involved in food, housing, book and record cooperatives which are generally structured so that the work, expenses and most of the leadership is shared by the members. Membership, usually a one-time or yearly fee, frequently entitles the member to discounts. Everyone’s Book Cooperative, Inc. on Main Street near Highgate, for instance, charges members a yearly fee Of $5, and requires them to be on one of twelve committees which steer policy on books, space and activities. It tries to stock a different selection of books, covering gaps left by other bookstores in the ciy in areas like contemporary poetry and leftist political and social theory. But the Co-op aspires to be more than just an .outlet for books. Some of the planned projects, according to coordinator Jon Welch, include poetry readings and workshops, a reading and film or music room in the store, and a newsletter and a suggestion box for consumers to request titles they want stocked. \ Accessability Welch said there was a shared sense of purpose among members in trying to make cultural activities accessible to a greater part of the community, and to get local people involved as participants instead of spectators. To some, the cooperative represents an economic alternative whidh could conceivably replace capitalism and transform the relations between people Under a capitalist system. Another group within the co-op supports Welch, who, citing the state laws under which Everyone’s Book Coop was incorporated, argued that the cooperative idea was more an alternative provided within the system than a step towards changing it. “I don’t think they [cooperatives] are revolutionary. 1 think they’re useful,” he stated. Limited goals The Student Record Coop, located in the basement of Norton Hall, admits only to providing students with records at the lowest possible cost, and operating an income-offset business on a shared work basis. Although the record coop appears to be a totally innocuous student organization, it is known that off-campus merchandisers have complained about unfair competition by virtue of the Coop’s rent-free premises on state property. For the moment, however, Record Coop members are happy with business. The North Buffalo Food Coop is an off-campus distributor of wholesome; natural and organic foods. The store has an informal, homespun atmosphere, mixing notices of community events, with posters and collections for causes ranging from the Attica Defense to animal rights. The coop tries to provide an alternative to capitalist food distribution, which dictates to the consumer the quantities that must be bought, sells him packaging which he may not need and keeps hidden, or obscured the most important part of any purchase: the product. The coop is guided democratically by the membership, and has become a community center, as well as a food store, by providing a place to trade, sell, form groups and just hang out. Members have also begun a small community farm project near the Amherst campus. Other ways The Crescent Street Coop, a cooperative living arrangement run by Scholastic Housing Inc. (a division of Sub-Board) and other food coops offer still more alternatives to traditional modes or organizing economic projects. On campus, other measures have been taken to cope with the specific student —continued on page 2— �Student services... 7-contlryjed from page 1 needs. The Student AsSociation-funded Legal Aid Clinic is one response to a representative set of problems: Students are at once isolated from the traditional legal institutions in Buffalo and victimized by that system, which treats them differently from the rest of the community. Director David Richman characterized the Clinic as a kind of “legal first aid,” interpreting legal information for digestion by a student body. The Clinic fulfills a social function in handling many types of problems which do not require the services of a lawyer. It is also able to concentrate on problems common to students, such as landlord-tenant disputes and small claims cases. Richman characterized his staff of undergraduates and law students as “romantics,” who wish to reform the legal structure of society from within. Mr. Richman was optimistic about the prospects for change in legal institutions, predicting that legal aid clinics and pre-paid legal insurance would eventually replace much of the profit-oriented private practice of today. Trauma This would be a “traumatic” change in the legal profession, but he indicated that criticism directed at the Clinic from the American Bar Association has centered on the business its lawyers have already lost to free legal advisory services. i — Other student organizations try in similar ways to cater to the special needs of an urban student body. Counselling centers such as Sunshine House, the Human Sexuality Center and the Harriman Drop-In Center, offer a more personal approach to drug, emotional and birth control/pregnancy counseling. Student Association Travel answers the transportation needs of students with vacation and travel packages tailored to student life-style fewer frills and more activities at a low price. Charter flights to New York City and other popular destinations, leaving at convenient times for the holidays, are supplemented by group programs to Europe and the Carribean. Students are also involved with public broadcasting through WBFO-FM, the only public radio station now operating in Buffalo. The station was founded, and originally funded, by the University’s Educational Communication Center (ECC). Though it has since divorced itself formally from the ECC, supporting itself with individual contributions and grants, the station still broadcasts from Norton Hall and about half its staff are students. General Manager Marvin Granger said much of the initiative for planning and producing new programs comes from staff, Granger said his role is “to tell them what they cannot do rather than what they should be doing.” — Marcia Alvar, Program Director for WBFO, explained that the philosophy of the station is to present different kinds of programs not offered by commercial radio. The full field of radio broadcasting is explored through broadcasts of lectures, interviews, concerts, public events, news and comment, and discussion, in addition to musical shows Other student-developed services have necessarily gone unmentioned here. But the Unifersity setting provides an ideal environment for experimentation, a testing ground for new social ideas, ,which, if proven beneficial to students, could do likewise for the rest of our society.

Founded in 1967, the company blends strong and graceful sign language with mime, dance, music, and simultaneous narration and song. This Friday, the company will present Parade at the State University College at Fredonia. Conceived as a series of parades, demonstrations and encampments, the play chronicles the attempts of a revolutionary deaf girl to establish a separate deaf state. The approach to the theme is farcical and ironic In the past, the NTD has occasionally performed similar self-created works, but more commonly performs traditional, dramatic texts and stage poetry recitals in which deaf actors sign the words while hearing actors speak them. The visual images are intended to portray the poetic nature of the readings. Page two . The Spectrum . T Nine of the twelve actors are deaf, but all use visual language on stage. Although promoters urge deaf people to attend performances, 85 percent of the audience is hearing, and shows are enjoyed by both groups. “Most people who have never seen the NTD assume, because of the actors’ physical handicap, that the company must be in come way artistically limited, that the audience must be prepared to make certain allowances. In fact, the NTD embarrasses all such condecension,” claims New York Times arts critic Henry Weil. “In our performances, the words become the action. There is a new gesture for every word. The spoken narration works like the sub-titles in a foreign movie,” explains NTD’s founder and producing director. “The actors are not actually speaking English, but you tend to remember them as if they were.” Wednesday, 15 October 1975 Second class postage paid at Buffalo, New York.

Specifically mentioned were the checking of cars for parking stickers and ticketing cars that are taking up more than once space. special parking lot for carpools of three of more persons to help solve the student par' ing squeeze on campus has become a reality, said Bob Wallace, Student Association (SA) Director of Commuter Affairs. Ten spaces were allotted in the Michael Hall lot for cars containing three or more people, according to Wallace. Supervision will be maintained by a student attendant and Campus Security. However, Lee Griffin, Assistant Director of Campus Security, doubts that the carpool program will work. “The carpool idea does not have public support,” Griffin said, adding that “as long as people have cars, and the price of gasoline is not prohibitive, people will still want the advantage of using their own vehicles.” A Griffin said his men have been “tagging” vehicles parked illegally. “Last year we gave out over 13,000 tickets,” he said. He added that Security is now giving opt about 120 to 200 tags a week. Griffin commented that the parking problem is expected to be The Association for Professional Health Oriented Students (APHOS) is an organization with the pre-professional, particularly the pre-medical, student in mind APHOS compiles information on both the medical profession and related health professions for students who cannot meet the stringent admissions standards for medical school. The alternatives include Dentistry* Optometry. Podiatry, Veterinary medicine and Osteopathy. The American Medical Association (AMA) says the situation facing prospective doctors applying to med school really isn’t that hopeless, said APHOS President Jeff Levy. The AMA reports that only 13 percent of med school freshmen had “A” averages last year. The vast majority of students applying to medical school in recent years were “B” students, Levy said. This is not to say that “C” students should not apply, since 14 percent of recently entering freshmen med students had “C” averages in science areas, he added. —. , Comraderie “There is one seat in medical school for every three applicants. a club to get away from pre-professional competitiveness. We want to foster a spirit of comraderie,” Levy said. Scholastic achievement is only one criteria for admission to Medical School, according to the AMA. "Peer group advisement” is another service offered by APHOS. Many juniors and seniors in pre-professional fields can offer guidance in what courses to take and other information The club also sponsors social events and a student need not be involved in a pre-health field to join. Levy estimates that the club presently has 125 members. A collection of current pre-professional and medical literature, school catalogues and reference guides is available to any student in the APHOS office in Room 220 Norton Hall API I OS also sends volunteers to local health programs. Levy stressed that this experience is invaluable to health oriented students. He added that the club is hoping to invite members of the medical professional for panel discussions, including Dr. William Nolan, author APHOS is of a Surgeon — -I with this ad COUPON VALID TILL OCTOBER - Half A disappointing turnout hampered this weekend’s Regional Conference of the Student Association of the State University SASU. Although Brockport and Cleneseo did not attend as expected, the State University at Buffalo and Alfred University participated in planned workshops and discussions at the Lllicott Complex. The conference, the first of fo'ur planned by SASU at locations throughout the State this week, was entitled “Student Government Orientation.” Its according to SASU President Bob purpose, members with techniques of decision-making and the power structures of the University. In addition, workshops on such subjects as Title IX and the mandatory student activity fee were held. Space flight The conference began with a discussion on ordering priorities and group decision-making. After an exercise to decide what would be the most important items to take on a space flight, comparing and to those group individual priorities recommended by NASA, the participants were asked to note the lower margin in the group decision. This experiment was designed to train the participants for executive committee and senate decision-making. Then the same groups were asked to list their complaints about the. State University (SUNY) and to suggest courses of action for implementation of change. of Information and SASU Director Communication Todd Rubinstein, who cbnducted the workshop, said the problem with SUNY is that it is too educationally and culturally confining to the individual. • A little box “They want all the students to fit neatly into a little box,” he said, “and sometimes they allow a shape.” “What we want to do is to break down the institutional barriers,” he said. Most of the participants agreed that SUNY students are fragmented and disorganized, and as a whole, uninformed of the issues that affect them. “We must learn to use the system as a tool,” said SASU Vice President for Campus Affairs Stu Hamowitz. “We have to make our school teach us what we want to know, not what they want us to know,” he said. “It should be a place where students become aware not indoctrinated,” he said. 1 * Absolutely no say Later, in a workshop on the mandatory activity fee, Kirkpatrick told the participants that, “What it comes down to is, the student has absolutely no say,” in how his activity fee money is allowed to be spent. He cited the ultimate control exercised last April by this University’s administration when the Student Association allocated $ I 500 for buses to an demonstration. varies,” he said. “At Binghamton an allocation for the very same thing was approved. But there the administration was convinced there would be workshops and events of educational value to the Albany “It students attending.” Most administrations, however, “still like the idea of the little student who doesn’t know how to use his money,” Kirkpatrick said. The final workshop covered Title IX and the governance structures of. the University. Faculty Student Associations, Faculty Senates and College Councils were described and discussed. “Students and faculty need to work together, and perhaps even “trade off” members of their Faculty Senates and Student Associations,” said Rubinstein. The result of such an experiment earlier this year at Binghamton was “very positive for both groups,” he said.

But after decades of filmmaking, director Luis Bunuel seems to have abandoned integrity for intensity in this film. Le Fantome is a mystery from start (why was it so titled?) to finish. If one can accept the film as a mystery not to be solved, it is enjoyable. Bunuel apparently considers many of the issues portrayed inexplicable. In his vision of humanity he highlights the most grotesque, most outrageous examples which he perceives as still within the common experience. This enables him to find a pair of sado-masochists, four drunken, gambling monks, and an incestuous aunt/nephew team all spending the night in an old country inn on a rainy evening. Questions such as the relationship of law to morality, the "true mystery of death," and the uniqueness of any individual are raised, but never reconciled. Bunuel as director is not interested in There is also an excellent burlesque of the dinner party, where the guests must excuse themselves from the table to eat in a little cubicle, then return to their respective toilet bowls, and join the general conversation. Bunuel continues equating man with his excrement, with perhaps some justification. The animals wandering through the set seem almost omniscient, especially the dignified ostrich which reappears at the end. Characters and audience alike are left floundering. Out of touch While the pastoral world flows on, the Parisians grow frantic over self-created problems. The strongest condemnation lies in the complacence with which all these absurdities are accepted. People have become so enslaved, and their reactions so cliched, that they no longer recognize what's going on. Children retaining some vestige of awareness are ignored when they try to inform their elders. This enables a young girl to accompany her parents when they're filling out a missing person's form for their daughter. Of course the girl's presence greatly is or even a plot.

The outcome of a decide whether students will find themselves safe in a medical or law school or out pounding the pavement for a job. causing students both to cheat That pressure for high grades and to keep quiet about the cheating of others is jeopardizing the future of honor codes at several colleges around the country. At Stanford, a “breakdown of ordinary standards of honesty” sparked a re-evaluation of the school’s honor code. Johns Hopkins University ended its 62-year-old honor code when a poll revealed 70 percent of its students had witnessed incidences of cheating and done nothing to stop them. After 50 students were put on probation at the University of Florida, at Gainesville, for bribing janitors to help them secure advance copies of tests, administrators claimed a “revitalization” of the code was necessary. And at the University of Virginia, where the only penalty for conviction of an honor code offense is permanent expulsion, a poll is scheduled for November to determine the future of its code. test (CPS) may — - *- Reluctance to rat Administrators at these schools blame pressure for high grades and a reluctance to “rat” on other students for the crumbling honor codes that ask students to police themselves against cheating and plagiarism. And the offenders, they claim, are frequently excellent students rather than “survival cases” who need to cheat to get by. Stanford’s Ombudsman John Goheen said in a report to the school’s president that “law and medicine, particularly, are attracting very large numbers of students, many more than these professional schools can accomodate. The resulting competition for admission to a professional school is intense.” One of the results of pressure and competition has been more cheating and less student cooperation in enforcing the code, Goheen asserted.

Ten of the 12 students were found to have “consistently high grades and NORDIC X-C SKIING CANOES A CAMPING BACKPACKING fe. m J - _ .. the code. Ken Humphries, a student member of the honor committee, said that most of the dissatisfaction with the code has been over its “single sanction” provision, which mandates that there be no punishment other than permanent expulsion. While a poll is scheduled for November to determine student support, the student-run committee continues to decide cheating cases. Already this fall one student has been dismissed for plagiarism, while another case is on the docket for early October.

Johns Hopkins President Steven Muller said he regretted ending the honor system, but claimed it was necessary since “for some time there have been allegations of pretty consistent cheating. People were saying the honor system was a farce At the University of Florida, the “honor code has been on the decline for a long time because students aren’t willing to testify against other students,” according to Rob Denson, director of student judicial affairs. Although the Florida honor code stipulates that tests not be proctorcd, instructors recently have begun proctoring exams since “many don’t feel the honor code is a deterrent,” Denson said. In spite of a case of teat-stealing involving “hundreds of students” last spring, Denson said he believes the honor code should be “revitalized” rather than abandoned. “If we leave it in writing, it’s good PR,” Denson said, “and after all, Watergate people are more in tune with a code of honor.” Mean wile at the University of Virginia discussion centers on whether students still support 5421 TRANSIT THE ■ were compulsive about high grades.” Five of the students were suspended for violation of the code, which requires students “both within and without the University (to) maintain such respect for order, morality, personal honor and the rights of others as demanded of good citizens.” While Stanford is questioning the value of its code, Johns Hopkins scrapped its honor system this fall in the face of charges that it had become a “farce” and a “disgrace.” New copyright law is proposed to Congress 490 Frontier Road RENTALS Wed., Oct. 15th at 8 pm The guest lecturer will be Rabbi Joseph Herzog of Temple Sinai, Amherst.

Last year, a substantially similar bill was passed in the Senate but the session ended before the House considered its own copyright legislation. Committee sources in the House predict that a new copyright bill will be voted on within the next year. Amorphous doctrine The new law, as proposed, would allow the free duplication of copyrighted material “for purposes such as criticism, comment, news amorphous reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research.” This doctrine” of “fair use,” as the Supreme Court called it last year in ruling on a copyright case, varies from case to case depending on such intangibles as “the nature and purpose” of the work, the amount copied and the financial effect of copying on the potential market for the material. Fair use does not include what the bill calls “systematic reproduction of copyrighted material. Library copying for inter-library loans and reserve copies would probably fall under this category of “systematic” reproduction. In testimony before the House Judiciary Subcommitee on Courts, Civil Liberties and the Administration of Justice this summer, educators claimed that this bill would be devastating to the teaching process. “Educational users need special protection over and above that provided commercial users,” Bernard J. Freitag, a National Education Association representative said. “They have a public responsibility for not for profit.” teaching. They work for people access to materials that would The benefits of suing reprints otherwise be too costly for most libraries and students to afford would be lost if the bill were approved, the educators argued. Providing resources from a wide range of journals and collections gives the student a broader view than if one textbook were assigned for each — — — class. Writers string gypped But writers and publishers have a different perspective. While cheap reproductions mean less money from student pocketbooks, they also mean less money in the author’s bank account. In many cases, this is a substantial financial loss for the writer. “(Librarians and educators) are asking writers to ignore their own economic difficulties and act like good socialists, spuming the profit motive and resigning themselves to a diminished income, while the rest of the country continues to act like a clutch of hard-nosed capitalists,” author Michael Mawshaw wrote in the Chronicle of Higher Education. “Does a society that feels it can casually reproduce and exploit an author’s work for free really respect the written word?” The repercussions of the proposed legislation are already being felt on college campuses. At Arizona State University (ASU), the head librarian, has refused to make more than one copy of an article for the reserve reading section citing the “fair use” doctrine. “Publishers are in a pretty surly mood,” librarian Donald Koepp said. Not half as surly as ASU students will be when only one copy is available for reading, however. “The frustration level of students trying to use this place is very high,” Koepp admitted. announces SUNY OVERSEAS ACADEMIC PROGRAM AT THE University of Alexandria, Arab Republic of Egypt 10 Fellowships available covering students expenses, including travel, food and lodging.

This proved to be an accurate prediction. Amin ousted President Milton Obote in January 1971 and seized complete control of the East African nation. “Big Daddy” Amin is indeed a big man in every sense of the word.

He received a meager education and at age 18 joined the Army to battle his way to the rank of Sergeant Major, fighting with the British against the Mau Mau insurgents in Kenya. By all accounts, he relished the fight against fellow Africans. Through hard work and the right connections, Amin eventually assumed the position of commander of Uganda’s army. Only a gunshot away from the presidency, he seized power in 1971. Central African Republic, an infamous character in his own right. Together they toured the jail, occasionally beating to death prisoners. Once in power, Amin wasted no time in asserting his authority and setting the tone of his regjgne by pursuing the followers of Obote. The most fortunate were shot. Some were crammed into tiny cells which were then dynamited, others were carved with knives or were suffocated with their own genitals. Subsequent purges of enemies, real or imagined, have claimed at least 20,000 lives, perhaps as many as 90,000. Amin won instant popularity with the masses by expelling 50,000 Asians who controlled ; commerce and a great deal of the country’s wealth. Amin justified the expulsion by stating that it was an act of God’s will.

They are cozy, secure environments, locked away amidst cities on the brink of disaster and countries struggling to stay alive. Though they are by no means without their faults, universities generally take good care of their people. Here at this University, for example, people can purchase books that no other bookstore carries, they can buy records and see concerts that no store or private promoter is willing to offer, they can see films and plays and performances that no theater is presenting, and they can choose alternative life styles that the status quo is Here an unmarried couple can openly live together without fear of social ostracism. Here health care is socialized if one pays the proper fees (or taxes), one is entitled to receive free, unlimited medical and dental care, birth control, and personal counselling. Here people are free to explore their potential and to discover themselves as individuals. It's no wonder so many people cling to this kind of ideal environment well beyond their four allotted years, either as "perpetual students" or professionals (faculty, staff and administrators). It's also not surprising that the most common trepidation one feels when one's time is up is whether he or she can readjust to "the real world." In Freudian terms, it may be called "separation anxiety," or leaving yet another manifestation of mother's womb. — universities, rather What this all boils down to than preparing students to cope with the hard realities of the outside world, are merely giving them a desireable, transient alternative. For the rewards of such an environment to be carried forth into "the real world," though, it would require a radical change in the social structure of this country. Some minds may wake up in college to the need for social reform, fighting for free day care, abortions, health services and working in cooperative ventures that benefit a larger cross-section of people. Unfortunately, most active minds eventually graduate and assimilate into the mainstream, their drive for serious change replaced by a hardened cynicism. It's a sad but familiar story the system has you beat before yOu can beat the system. =- — With any luck, maybe this generation of college students will begin to really learn their lessons at school and see that the positive forces one encounters at universities should be able to work on a larger scale for a greater number of people, Perhaps this sounds like an idealist's dream.

You can’t believe it; how is it done? Simple enough, by paying a disruptive “desertion bonus” to a poor man who knows that the family gets more without him than with him. "The subcommittee found,” a House committee under Martha Griffiths, reported last December, “that in July 1972, a man with a wife and two children who worked at $2 an hour could increase the income of his family by an average of $2,158 annually by deserting them.” Yes, since 1959, the proportion of families without a father has risen 50 percent. It now constitutes a majority of poor families with children. An accident? Not according to the evidence. The arrant neglect of the male-headed families, and the poor devil of a husband trying to support his children at low wages full time “appear to have created (their italics) “more female-headed families with children," If one thing cries for reform today in Washington it is the top-heavy income security-welfare system. It is a horrifying mess. Social security faces a funding crisis; it is stretched too thin; gives out mole than it is taking in. Tire $6 billion-a-year food stamp program with 19 million participants may have slowed down but. on the other hand, unpublished theoretical studies indicate that by next year 50 million Americans will be eligible, costing SIO billion in the Bicentennial year, if they all apply (which of course they won’t). There are already 62 separate aid programs and Congress keeps thinking up new gadgets for the crazy structure piecemeal, categorical goodies: housing allowance, transportation stamps for tlve elderly, clothing vouchers and fuel coupons for the poor anything but cash. You can’t give cash to poor people; they might know better what they need than the government. Lei them have food stamps and stand in line! Somebody said a camel looks like an animal shaped by a committee; the American security program is shaped by 21 committees of Congress, 50 state legislatures and 1500 county welfare departments. It started as a log cabin and turned into a skyscraper with the log cabin architecturally incorporated. It started 40 years ago, when Franklin Roosevelt signed the original Social Security Act. August 14, 1955, embracing Only two programs, old age insurance and unemployment insurance. America was far behind .other large industrial nations in welfare then apd it is today; we are practically the only one left without national health insurance (urged by Truman and defeated by the American Medical Association).

Then the mother is eligible for nontaxable. Here’s the typical extra benefits comment, of a caseworker in Georgia; “My first criticism is that we run the able-bodied fathers out of the home; they are underemployed, underpaid, and in order for the family to survive the father has to leave home. And now we are spending just about 50 percent of our time trying to find these fathers whom we have run out of their homes.’ 7 It’s funny in a cruel way. A workingman in Detroit must earn $73,50 gross to have the equivalent of the relief, food and average medical benefits available to his wife and three children on welfare. As bread winner he has to pay Social security taxes; on relief She doesn’t. She is tempted to get a job. But tests in New York, Chicago, Atlanta and Los Angeles show that if she has three children and works at median wage she earns less than she would on welfare. She pays $325 in social security taxes; about $125 in federal income taxes and close to $800 in work expenses (bus fare and somebody to look after the kids). She stays on relief. Should the system be abolished; Of course not! If there is one thing that has kept the lid on in America’s worst recession it is unemployment insurance, food stamps, aid to families with dependent children, and all the rest. But it is preposterous not to harmonize overlapping programs; they give poor value for money. The subject is a particular thorn for Republicans. Alf Landon called FDR’s plan a “cruel hoax;” a fraud on the working man.” He carried only two slates. President Ford, as he rambles about the country, telling us to take government out of government, is aware of the problem. He told an audience (Chicago, August 31) that “there has to be a total revamping of welfare programs.” Correct, splendid; and he is a compassionate man who twice voted in the House for Nixon’s still-born Family Assistance Program. But when he gets before a Republican audience (Dallas, Sept. 13) he says “social programs literally threaten our whole economy” and that he will use the veto “again and again and again." A black woman in St. Louis asked if he had any new social programs to help the poor? He replied (Sept. 12) that what would help more would be a healthy economy —■ (he tax base would expand and everyone would be better off. Sometimes he’s for reform; sometimes for business revival. Studies show that a lot of. people who need aid most aren’t getting it. Geographical inequalities defy rationality. Maximum AFCD payments for a family of four in 1974 were $60.a month in Mississippi; S4II in New York. Why is New York City broke? One reason is New York slate’s social payments: they attract migrants from all over the country. NYC is full of Puerto Ricans; no wonder, Puerto Rico pays S56 monthly in. AFDC, New York seven times as much. Perverse incentives cause mass migrations and disrupt families. What should be done? Sooner or later everybody In the country.;rich arid poor alike, will file income taxes, and those below the poverty line will get a moderate direct cash grant from the government related to income, white the low and moderate-income workers wilt get tax relief. Why not Cash on a uniform basis instead of food stamps and payments that drive The Spectrum .

To begin with, the author should have specified with what countries' of the Middle East she is dealing. Some countries in the area still apply religious laws (based on the Shari’a) to matters affecting the rights of women, while others have, in varying degrees, supplanted the Shari’a with civil and secujar laws. It is not dear whether the author is writing only about Egypt or whether she includes the wider area of the Middle East. It appears, however, that a major portion of the article deals with conditions in Egypt, while other countries are treated peripherally. It is worthwile to mention the revolutionary changes brought about in many aspects of life in South Yemen and Dhofar, changes I wish to comment , VALLEY PAYS which can serve as models for those who seek a transformation in basic socio-economic relationships. The West has long been fascinated with polygamy and indeed regards it as an exotic characteristic of Muslim societies. The occurrence of polygamy among Muslims in the Middle bast and elsewhere has been historically very negligible. It has been limited almost exclusively to the small stratum of traditional landlords and merchants, persons who were financially secure enough to marry more than one woman. The majority of Muslims, who are poor peasants or who live in the eities as workers, simply cannot afford to engage in such a financially taxing practice. The same with the veil, another “exotic” Middle Eastern curiosity. The veil has been predominantly worn by urban women (historically from the upper classes), while the vast majority of peasant women who work in agriculture have not had to succumb to this form of imprisonment. Lisa Taraki Clearing up some doubts To the Editor. As a graduate student in the Department of Speech Communication, I wish to offer some replies to your article and editorial of October 8th. 1. There are three reasons why the faculty opposing Dr. Molef Asante appear reticent to discuss the issues: a) Many of the objections to Dr. Asante have previously been referred to grievance committees. The content of such grievances are confidential and could not be publicly aired. b) For ethical reasons, most faculty opposing Dr. Asante refused to permit classroom time to be used for the propagandizing of students. c) Most of the faculty opposing Dr. Asante believed it to be unprofessional to solicit, coerce, or interfere with student opinion. 2. The charge of racism is false! Two years ago, Asante was unanimously approved by the faculty Dr. to be their chairman. His blackness and youth were not issues then nor are they now. 3. The openness of the department is not of Dr. Asante’s origin. Long before Dr. Asante became chairman, students conferred with the chairperson appointment. In fact, of the past four chairpersons, Dr, Asante is neither the most nor the without least accessible. 4 Most graduate students, both black and White, are serious, intelligent scholars. To suggest that some students do not fit the above description can hardly be called racism. There are non-serious black students just as there are non-serious white students. 5. The main issue between dissenting faculty and Dr. Asante appears to one of management style. Dr. Asante has described himself as ' decisive.” Some faculty perceive this decisiveness as Jailing to provide into department input for adequate faculty policy-making. It is the fervent hope of faculty and students of the department to get back to work and studies without the interference of department politics. A Graduate Student Save NYC.

If Mr. Rubin continues to air his personal Views via the guise of a sports column, or purposely exacerbates hostilities Tor the satisfaction of his Own weird desires, then the money I am paying for a studeht newspaper will be wasted. Mr. Rubin wilt undoubtedly achieve some strange kind of satisfaction with each nasty rebuttal to his column. 1 implore any insulted Buffalonian to direct their reprisals to David J. Rubin, not to New Yorkers in general. Better yet, perhaps ignoring him will coerce him to shut his trap and concentrate on sports. Any first-year psychology student knows that reinforcement breeds further aggravation. Stick to sports, Mr. Rubin. If not, then change the column’s title to Rubin’s bull, or even a more precise description of the drivel. Marc Sherman - Golda Meir syndrome To the Editor Conspicuously absent in Fredda Cohen s article on the status of women in the geographic area of the Middle East (The Spectrum, Oct. 8, 1975) is any mention of the status of women in Israel. This might leave the misleading impression that women in Israel fare incomparably better than women in other countries in the Middle East, and possibly even in might the West, thereby heping perpetuate what properly be called the “Golda Meir Syndrome.” The facts of the lives of women in Israel however, tell a different story. Consider the following sample Only 30 percent of the women in Israel work or hold jobs outside the house (42 percent in the U S ). Figures also show that women, on average, • earn 42 percent less than men. Even those women who do the same type of work earn, on average 75% of what men earn doing the same kind of work. Moreover, women are taxed more heavily on their income for the apparent reason that their earnings are considered additional “pocket money, whereas the man’s income is considered an essential need. During the past twenty-five years and since the establishment of the state of Israel, only two women assumed positions in the Cabinet (Golda Meir and Shulamit Aloni), hardly an enviable record even if compared with neighboring countries (two in Iraq, 1959, 1970; two in Egypt, 1960, 1970). Similarly, women in the Knesset number less than 10 percent with none at all in the most important committees (Finance, Foreign Affairs and Security), Of the total number of university teachers in Israel only 2 percent are women. Religious laws govern marital and family affairs. Women for instance, are not allowed to testify before a religious court and cannot get a divorce without the agreement of the husband. In order to remarry, a widow that has no children is obliged to secure the consent and agreement of her-: unmarried brother-indaw. Abortion, moreover, has been declared illegal by religious courts except under' -v. unusual and exceptional circumstances. In 1972, after (interviewing hundreds of', women in Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem, sociologists fron*y the Hebrew University reported that two-thirds of the subjects favored large families, while fully 75percent thought that being “a good ihother and a good homemaker” was woman’s most noble goal. Moreover, Kibutzim have recently started their own beauty contests; More can be said, but suffice it to quote last, but not least important, the view of Mrs. Meir herself who apparently feels that “woman’s lib is just a lot of foolishness" (Newsweek Oct. 23, 1972). If Mrs, Meir’s view is to be taken as a guide, then surely the prospects for women in Israel must seem not much different from those of women in other countries in the Middle East. * * * • , George Al-Muhtajj Wednesday, 15 October 1975 The Spectrum .

The survey was conducted by a Chicago-based advertising firm last spring. The survey found that 87 percent of the students polled had read their college newspaper — within the last week. Playboy was the favorite monthly followed by Reader's Digest and magazine, the National Lampoon. The survey also delved into the drinking habits of college students and found that drinking is still a very popular preoccupation of students. Of the students polled, 48 percent had purchased beer in the last month, 29 percent wine and 25 percent 57 some type of hard liquor. More than half percent said they had purchased some type of alcoholic beverage in a bar or restaurant within the same month. — — We will fight them on the airways (CPS) Television, often referred to as a “vast wasteland,” is a vast battleground on Saturday ... - mornings, according to data from the Media Action Research Center. The Center reported recently that Bugs Bunny and the Pink Panther are the leading Saturday morning heavies. Those shows average at least one violent act every minute, the report said. The average for Saturday morning shows was one violent act every three and a half minutes. Celestial circumstance and the end of the world (CPS/ZNS) As if worrying about ozone depletion isn’t enough, a survey of leading scientists by Science Digest magazine turned up 13 different predictions of how the world will end. Most scientists theorize that earth will be a victim of celestial circumstance rather than human blundering. For the “red sun theory” holds - that the sun will cool, turn a reddish hue and begin to expand. Earth, they predict, will be consumed in the flames. Other scientists postulate a cosmic crash between earth and speeding asteroids. The asteroid Icarus came within four million miles of earth in 1968 at a speed of 66,000 miles per hour. Many scientists feel a collision is inevitable. The “black hole theory” proposed by some scientists predicts that giant, dense but invisible concentrations of matter may be speeding toward us. A black hole can suck up other matter and would crush the planet down to the size of a basketball if they collide. Other predictions for the demise of the planet included nuclear weapons and “monster microbes” that could escape from biological laboratories and attack life on earth. Blacks earn less less (CPS) Blacks and women still bring home less on payday than their white male counterparts, but the gap is narrowing, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. White workers earn $190 a week on the average, compared to $156 a week for blacks. Women earn 61 percent of the male wage, according to the Bureau, bringing home an average weekly earning of $137 compared to $221 for men. While women still earn the same percentage of the male wage they earned in 1967, blacks are now paid around 80 percent of the wage paid to whites. In 1967, blacks were paid 69 percent of the white wage, the Bureau said. — The tingle’s only temporary (CPS/ZNS) A reversible birth control device for men has reportedly been developed by medical researchers at the University of Missouri.

While recognizing excellent skills in these areas, the Bulgarians differ on the question of content. In their School of Management, students take courses in dialectical materialism, scientific communism, the history of Philosophy, the history of the Bulgarian Communist Party, and the history of socialist ethics. before they begin the technical aspect of their schooling.

Rubin Sports wouldn’t try to turn on the four-way Hashers by pressing in the cigarette lighter. Everything went well, and I was assured that the car would be in top working order for the race. Next, switch the scene to the Kendall Tech Center at Watkins Glen. My technological sources told me that 55 miles per hour would be the optimum mileage speed; They told me to shift fast and early, glide when possible, and keep the windows closed. The tension grew as the cars left the Tech Center and moved out onto the track where the Volkswagen people connected up the 32-ounce gas canisters. Meanwhile, TV_ personality Chris Economaki interviewed each driver, and it became apparent that I was the green one in the field an obvious underdog. h'Jildfa Mail Magazine occasionally runs a piece the titles of imaginary “very thin books." The titles usually include selections like Compliments I Have Made by Don Rickies or Hints to Make Marriage Successful by John Mitchell. Well, back on October 4, the story for a new thin book was created at Watkins The Racing Glen, New York. Its name Career of David J. Rubin. Actually this story starts with the beginning of the fall semester when I was invited to participate in “The 32 Ounces of Watkins Glen,” a race sponsored by the Volkswagen people to show the world how many miles to the gallon their cars can get when the average person drives them. The idea of the “race,” or “slow” as a friend of mine put it, is to drive a factory built Volkswagen Rabbit around the Watkins Glen race track as far as you can with only 32 ounces of gas in your tank. on - - Chicane-ry Firstly, he introduced me as the only college newspaper writer. (Damn those investigative reporters.) Then he threw a real curve by asking how I was going to handle the new chicane. Stymied, my only reply was, alas, an honest one, “I don’t even know what a chicane is." (A chicane is a sharp, quick S-curve.) Hurt but not demoralized. 1 stood ready on the far side of the track, and then broke for my car on cue in the LeMans style start.

The Bulls did not lose a set to either Buffalo State or Canisius en route to an easy win. Niagara never showed up, but in past performances, the team was shut out by Buffalo during the regular season. Thus the Bulls ended an 8-2 season with a performance so overwhelming that they were only in danger of losing one set out of the 18 they played. Buffalo’s A1 Boardman was trailing Canisius’ Ray Witzleben 6-2 in the eight-game pro set, but then rallied to win the next six games for the win. “That’s what you call a tantalizer,” said Boardman who earlier in the year had shut out Witzleben over two sets.

He’s much more confident in his strokes.” The match also concluded the collegiate career of Rich Abbott, Buffalo’s second singles player and team captain. Abbott was the Bulls’ 'top player last year and early this year, until he was beaten out by his doubles partner. Randy Murphy. Abbott’s career ends At the end of their last match together, Murphy left the court so that Abbott could win the final point by himself. Although Griffins Rich Infanti and Bob Cleary probably weren’t trying too hard, Abbott won the point with a well-placed forehand volley. After the match, all Abbott could say was, “1 was really misty,” referring to the tears in his eyes. Murphy however had words of praise for his partner, noting, “he made a good contribution as far as a leader. He pulled out the clutch matches.” Although McClain now will have to find a new partner for Murphy, he has a lot of talented players to choose from. "We did better this year than any (tennis) team ever at this school. We lost two matches because we didn’t have all of our players,” he said, referring to losses earlier this week to Brockport and Rochester. “If we did have everyone, we would have won them all convincingly.” 1 ! i Ha HAiStcr DorvuJL 3234 MAIN ST.

Page thirteen �Commentary Arrogant athletes a growing phenomena in sports world by Christopher Van Vliet Spectrum Staff Writer A professional athlete must possess a superior ability to survive among his colleagues. If he is to succeed, he must possess a proper attitude as well. Those who excel in both departments have the greatest likelihood of reaching the status of champion. Ability speaks for itself in an athlete, while attitude is more difficult to pinpoint. Die-hards of the old school of thought believe that there are cetain personality traits such as maturity, drive, self-sacrifice and the willingness to cooperate, which are central to an athlete’s development. The athlete of today is an independent breed, but his impressive quality is overshadowed by his and unnecessary arrogance self-indulgence. Professional teams in every sport are composed of individuals, and it is the manager’s or coach’s job to deal with these individuals and mold them into a winning unit. There is, however, just so far a manager can bend without foresaking the welfare of his team and going against the principles of fair play. No place for arrogance Recently Arthur Ashe, a model of the old defeated the young, brash, and heavily favored tennis sensation Jimmy Connors at Wimbledon, England. When later asked to comment on his opponent to reporters, Ashe said he simply couldn’t understand why someone like Connors would pride himself on being arrogant and flippant, when he could just as easily be cooperative and school, humble. Connors has all the tools to be a tennis legend in his own time, but it appears that unless he grows up, he will still be lacking the respect of his adversaries and spectators, and consequently his rightful recognition from the sporting world. This is even truer in the case of tennis’ hot-tempered Hie Nastase. Nastase has time and time again walked off the court during matches in which he has disagreed with a call made by the line judges, showing absolutely no regard for the fans and for his obligation to participate in a sportsmanlike fashion. Granted, the present day athlete should not be expected to display the “All-American boy” image and live the life of a patron saint. He may support different causes, grow his hair long, .wear outlandish clothes, do commercials, and hang out in bawdy nightspots. But when it comes down to competition, there are certain rules and responsibilities which cannot be waived. Today it is “chic” to be different, even to the point of insubordination, and most people pass this off as a sign of the times. Ability just a start However, anyone with a real knowledge of sports knows what ingredients are necessary to maintain a winning edge, and will tell you that raw talent alone never makes it. Athletes such as Duane Thomas and Richie Allen, both of whom are blessed with outstanding abilities, find it impossible to get along with their respective coaches and managers, and neither has lived up to his capabilities. Dock Fllis, Alex Johnson and Joe Pepitone are other contemporary professional athletes who have demonstrated a need to be pampered and treated in a manner unlike their teammates. This rebellion against authority has even permeated the college ranks, as was evidenced locally by the suspension and eventual reinstatement of Canisius basketball star Larry Fogle. Baseball mentor Leo Durocher, in his book, Nice Guys Finish l.ast, best $ums up the pathetic situation which exists today. Leo says bluntly, “The battle cry of today’s player is ‘I don’t have to’,” and his favorite slogan is, “I’ll do it my way.” He further explains that, “the prevailing attitude is that they’ve got everything coming to them, not by accomplishment but because they're alive.” Durocher cites Houston Astros centerfielder Cesar Cedeno as a perfect example of the uncoacheable “head case.” Cedeno. according to Durocher, has as much potential as Willie Mays had when he was breaking in, but that’s about as far as (he comparison goes. Athletes today are bigger, stronger and faster than their early day counterparts, and the true champions still play with just as much desire, but it has become obvious that a cancer is spreading throughout the sporting world and threatening to topple it at its foundation. I.R.C. Positions —Forrest Once again, soccer star Emmanuel Kulu has beet) named Athlete of the Week. Kulu's free kick-goal and his two outstanding assists to Jeff Reed, helped the Bulls defeat Niagara on Wednesday and clinch the Big Four Soccer Championship. A sophomore, Kulu is quickly closing in on the school records for points and goals, both in a season and in a career. Honorable mention this week goes to tennis player Lenny Gross, who won all five of his singles matches this week, while dropping two in doubles.

Stone Governments, dinosaurs, social cannibalism, and a‘head like Ford’ * by Rick Vazquez Staff Writer Spectrum I.F. Stone refuses to become obsolete. “Spitting in the eye of the government is a wonderful sport,” Stone told Wednesday night’s receptive Fillmore Room audience. After a journalistic career that spans 50 years, being blacklisted during the notorious communist “witch-hunts” of the McCarthy era and doing the impossible by publishing I.F. Stone’s Weekly, the one man mini-newspaper, for 16 years, Isidor Feinetein Stone at 65 still appears to have a few aces up his sleeve. The government, said Stone in his opening remarks, is similar to the dinosaur, “a great power with a little brain; a body like the Pentagon, and a head like Ford.” Izzy Stone believes the world’s problems have extended beyond the reach of any individual nation. “No country is big enough to prevent worldwide pollution or to decide how many will starve,” Stone observed in what he called a plea for a new world order and the revival of socialist thinking ih America. Stone claims that the governments of the world are trapped by their own obsolescence, that global red tape and nationalism are causing our “obsolescence as a species.” ‘Fact of Hunger’ Stating that the food crisis is a “Fact of Hunger” Stone said the U.S. should attempt to reach maximum output in food production. Likewise, he criticized world food distribution policy by denouncing U.S. wheat sale; to Russia. Envisioning the need for a new.world order, S characterized man’s interaction as “cannabalistic.” . “We are addicted to eating each other. To deal w the world’s problems, we must develop a sense of world community,” said Stone. Stone pointed to the atrocities of the World War II exterminations as an example of the depths to which hatred has revealed itself as the great destroyer. “If we can not view ourselves as one family on one planet, then we must realize that the (wartime atrocities] can happen again,” explained Stone. Regarding socialism, the political policy with which Stone has always been associated and which caused his blacklisting in the fifties, Stone feels a socialist government could have emerged in this century had it not been for America’s great successes in the two world wars. Resources to waste “The key to this nation’s success with capitalism is in our resources. We could afford to waste. Mountains were destroyed to build cars. Not only this but we grew because between the lines, not only in congressional memos but in people. His observations on some figures differ sutstantially from the opinions of most. For example, Stone views Russian novelist Alexander Solzhenitsyn as a potential tyrant. Power politics “Solzhenitsyn is a ‘reverse socialist.’ His style of government would be worse than any of our bureaucracy,” he said. Stone also called most of the Third World’s leaders “megalomaniacs” and “pipsqueaks” and expressed the conviction that the dream of a united Black Africa is dead. When a question was posed concerning the Middle East situation, the I.F. Stone who despises nationalism and power politics emerged. “There is no future for Israel without reconciliation with the Arabs,” he said. Stone feels that Israel is foolish not to recognize the Palestinians as a nation. Stone also finds the Zionist and militarist factions dangerous. “I deplore the reactionary trend in the Jewish community,” stated Stone, himself a Jew. “Shall we desert Isaiah for Hobbes?” On the threat of a nuclear holocause in the Mid-East, Stone said, “The dimensions for destruction in the Mid-East are vast!” Pounding his hands on the speaker’s podium, he said, “Israel can’t duck the issue of the Palestinian Arab. Justice in the Mid-East is the Palestinian Arab.” (hie assassin Stone expressed little interest in the topic of CIA plots for assassinating John F. Kennedy and he accepts the findings of the Warren Commission. “1 have no taste for the JFK assassination. It seems to have become a favorite indoor sport,” he said. Stone has no illusions about our nation’s politicians. Describing Senator Henry Jackson (D., Wash.) as a “fake progressive,” Stone said he “wouldn’t trust any man who was Nixon’s favorite Democrat.” Stone also said, “Nixon may have been the biggest subversive in U.S. history.” And President Ford is the most inane man ever to hold that office. “The man is a nit-wit, and everyone knows it! Ford shouldn’t be out shaking hands. He should take off his shoes and read the papers so he’ll know what’s going on,” Stone said. “We tend to deify our Presidents and it turns them into demigods,” he said, citing the case of Harry Truman. “Truman was a nice, humble guy. Once he was in office for a while he became conceited.” I.F. Stone is a fighter that’s how he survived blacklisting and that’s how he put together a one man newsweekly. Now, although he’s put I.F. Stone's Weekly to, “bed” for good (1 had to stop. 1 started to feel like I was going to drop dead on the way to the printer.), he hasn’t stopped working. Stone is currently a student in the Greek Studies Department of American University in Washington, D.C. “I’m studying Plato and Aristotle, particularly in the areas of freedom of thought and expression,” Stone said, smiling through his thick wire-rimmed bifocals. “And I hope to teach when I’ve learned enough.” ... — of the two world wars, we gained from the destruction as well as the reconstruction from both wars,” Stone added. l.F. Stone is of the opinion that free enterprise does not exist. “When I saw auto and steel prices go up this year despite this nation’s economic problems, I said to myself, ‘Adam Smith is dead’.” “Free enterprise has become the national religion, a cloak for big business” said Stone, adding that the bureaucratic elite present in the western nations are also present in the communist countries. l.F.

It may also destroy the circulation of these magazines, he said. Although members of the Buffalo branch of the American Civil Liberties Union have expressed doubts about the bill’s constitutionality, members of the Common Council insist on its legitimacy. “The legislative branch can pass anything it wants to pass, and the bill is constitutional; obscenity is not protected by the first amendment right of free speech,” Lewandowski declared. The bill has been seen as part of a larger crackdown on pornography in Erie County. Local courts have been filled with obscenity cases over the last several months and several theaters, like the Allendale, have been forced to shut because of huge fines and confiscation of their film projectors Section 3 of the bill states; “No person, within the city of Buffalo, who knowing its content and character, shall wholesale promote or possess with intent to wholesale promote any obscene material.” Although a great deal depends upon interpretation, this has been taken by some to mean that there will be no advertising of anything considered obscene. Many political observers point to the upcoming election as a reason for passing the ordinance now. A number of councilmen have been subjected lately to a great deal of pressure from local lobbying groups, the most notable of which is Morality in Media, which has been pressuring for years to get such an ordinance passed. �Fac-Sen approves sanctions officer. concludes that a particular proposed may not in accordance with the he shall refer such proposed allocation provisions to a campus review board, composed of eight members, of whom four shall be appointed by the student representative organization and four appointed by the chief administrative officer.” He added that such a review board is already a part of the SUNY Board of Trustees guidelines governing the allocation of mandatory fee money. Supplementary recommendations to the Greiner report, added by SA President Michele Smith, were also approved. These included: informing all students entering the University of the Rules of Order on Campus; ensuring that warning statements are read to students violating the Rules; and revising the letter informing students charged with a violation of their rights and appeal procedures. After the students suspended as a result of the Hayes Hall demonstration were notified of the University’s sanctions against them, charges were made by SA and the Legal Aid Clinic that the letters sent to them only vaguely explained their right to appeal. Because of this, Smith charged, several of the students almost forfeited their right to request a show-cause hearing before the time period allowed by Laura Bartlett .. allocation Campui Editor ... The Faculty Senate voted unanimously Tuesday .to accept a resolution that the University should impose “appropriate sanctions” on all students found guilty of “unlawful” or “disruptive” conduct.

According Stanley to Panowicz, CSEA Shop Steward for the Norton Hall employees, if the commitment is not met within sixty-day period ending a December 1, a severe job action will take place. William Strobel, CSEA Vice President in charge of Grievance, said sentiment on this campus was so heavily in favor of this project that even if the money was unavailable from Albany, the administration would proceed with the project, if necessary, obtaining the funds from some other source. This was confirmed by Ray Reinig, Facilities Program Coordinator for Physical Planning. Reinig said the contracts and the purchase orders were cleared as of October 1 and that the vendor promised the heating equipment will arrive from the factory by the end of October. The units and installation will cost about $4600. me project was recommended by the Office of General Services in Albany and calls for additional gas heaters at both the front and rear first floor entrances to Norton Hall. the equipment will be installed by contractors, with only minimal from Norton Hall help maintenance. The one problem in installing the units is that entrances to Norton Hall will have to be blocked and the flow of student traffic reduced to complete the project on time. The bulk of the work will have to be done during normal business hours, Robert Henderson, Associate Director of Norton Hall, reported. IRCB will expand its campus service by Carrie Valiant Staff Writer Spectrum IRCB, Inc., the business arm of the Inter-Residence Council, is in the process of expanding its services, according to Brad Koshar, Director of Operations, and Leigh Weber, Auxiliary Services Manager. Slated for improvement are both the IRCB Store division and the Auxiliary Services division. “The main emphasis of IRCB stores is now directed toward accommodating student needs,” explained Koshar. Although operating under a newly-developed system designed to standardize all products sold, the stores are flexible enough to meet the demands of students in each living area, Koshar claimed. To provide a basis for improvement, IRCB will soon distribute questionnaires to all dorm students in addition to a suggestion sheet already posted in each store. “Anything seriously proposed will be seriously considered,” Koshar stated. Better e-La\ ty Aid for aspiring law students The newly formed Pre-Law Society held its first meeting this past Monday. The Society’s initiators, Scott Salimando and Richard Cohen, hope to make the organization into a forum for student’s questions concerning law school admissions and other relevant matters. The process of applying to law school and preparing for the Law School Aptitude Tests (LSAT) is often a source of unmitigated grief for bewildered students. Salimando indicated that the Society will try to ease this situation and possibly import “a sense of identity” to the amorphous and transient mass of law school aspirants at this school. LSAT familiariazation is one service that the Society may offer. Costs of $85 to $250 for LSAT preparation courses of “dubious” value could be avoided by many students if this service is initiated, Salimando said. Planned activities The members of the organization will determine the Society’s emphasis and direction. A steering committee, with each class level represented, will administer the organization’s activities. The Society plans to schedule speakers from the Alumni Association and both faculty and students from various law schools in a “make your own sundae” sale, and a “Natural Food Weekend” featuring cereals and yogurt. Sales will also be held on high demand items on the “loss leader” concept, that is below cost. Koshar explained that the stores can provide quality goods at low prices because of a reserve cash flow that allows IRCB to buy in large quanitities. Koshar claimed that most items are sold at a few cents sale, "travel Service used to concentrate on only a few flight seats at the discretion of IRCB,” Weber said. Flights presently are booked for all major holidays, including Veterans Day, Washington’s Birthday, Christmas Recess, Easter-Passover Weekend, and the end of the spring semester. The realization that flight service benefits only students residing in the New York Metropolitan area produced a newly-created bus service. Presently, separate buses to Rochester, Syracuse and Albany have been chartered. These buses will not drop students at the usual downtown terminals, but rather at suburban shopping centers. Bus service is also being offered to New York City with drop oil points at Penn Station and Roosevelt Field. Weber said his goal for bus service is “at least to be the same as Greyhound, at best to be cheaper.” Next semester, 1RCB plans to continue and improve existing programs. Possible future plans include a discount service for Amtrak and a reserved flight every weekend of the school year. Definitely planned for the spring semester is a “Centralized Ride System.” According to Weber, this will provide a conveniently located up-to-date catalogue of all rides offered and wanted, thereby the need for each student to post signs. Koshar concluded that his goal is to “provide an open torum and an expanded service program to meet the wide and diversified needs of all students.” 1RCB would like to know about any ideas for major can services.

Page three < �Commentary Western world shocked by Franco’s brutal reprisals by Brett Kline Feature Editor September 27th, On Generalissimo Franco of Spain shocked Western civilization by ordering the executions of five terrorists, convicted of killing Spanish policemen. Two of the five were members of the E.T.A., an organization originating from in Basque country the northwestern Spain, and the other three the belonged to Revolutionary Front for Patriotic Action, an urban guerilla group dedicated to Marxism. European leaders had repeatedly demanded that Franco call off the executions, demands that included a personal plea from the Pope in Rome. All were repulsed by the idea of the death penalty, which has been outlawed in almost all European countries. Franco’s only response to these pleas was to substitute a firing squad in place of the regularly used garrote, the iron collar that strangles a man or snaps his spine where it joins the base of the neck. Violent opposition Angry response to the executions came quickly both in Spain and internationally. Over 100,000 workers immediately went on strike in the Basque provinces of Vizcaya, Guipuzcoa, Alava and Navarra, and the following day a demonstration resulted in confrontation with police, who opened fire on the crowd, wounding six people. Many people took to tne streets in European cities, violently attacking Spanish buildings. government The the in Embassy Spanish Netherlands was destroyed by fire, bombs exploded outside the Embassy in Ankara, Spanish Turkey, the Spanish Embassy in Lisbon, Portugal was burned to the ground as national police looked on, and in Paris, more than 50 people were arrested and 30 were injured in clashes with police on the Champs-Elysees. being conducted with other Mediterranean countries such as Israel, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco.

Other U.S. priorities The United States has publicly offered no criticism of the executions in Spain other than to that say President Ford “regretted” the “cycle of violence” that produced the murder of Spanish policemen and the executions of the Basques. of However, utmost importance to the American government at the present time is the accord signed with Spain on October 4 th, providing for the continued use by American air and naval forces of Spanish bases. Under the accord, Spain will receive military aid ranging from $500 million to $750 million for the life of the agreement, if Congress votes its approval. of State Henry Secretary Kissinger has made it clear that whatever the United States might think about the Franco regime’s actions, maintaining access to the Spanish bases is a high priority matter for the United States, and in his view, the Western alliance. Political reform and economic progress have become dim prospects in Spain. The “cycle of violence” has become a repeated cycle; as the Franco regime intensifies its efforts to end terrorism, provincial radicals such as the Basque E.T.A. and urban guerillas continue to demonstrate violent resistance to all government measures. There is no end in sight to the violence. HIS CIA CODE NAME IS CONDOR SEVENTY-TWO HOURS ALMOST EVERYONE HE TRUSTS WILL TRY TO KILL HIM.

Its purpose is to “eliminate (with certain exceptions) discrimination on the basis of sex in any education program or activity that is offered by a state-supported institution.” Title IX originated as a result of a 1972 anti-sex discrimination act which contained guidelines stating that the law was not to be used to weaken or undermine any existing programs. The act was designed to end discrimination against women in educational areas such as Health Education and sports. On July 21, 1975 Title IX appeared in a new set of HEW guidelines. At that time the University administration here consulted its attorneys on whether the Women’s Studies College (WSC) policy of excluding males from some classes violated Title IX. The legal office did not believe the College’s exclusionary policy complied with the regulation. Acting upon this advice, President Robert Ketter’s office called upon the College to change its policy. Executive Vice-President Albert Somit then demanded that the College comply with the regulation’s “remedial action” clause and prepare to incorporate men in all of the College’s classes and programs. Title IX’s remedial action clause refers to “the Director’s” (administration) power to do whatever is deemed necessary to overcome discrimination on the basis of sex. Another section requires that a recipient whose program requires remedial action file a statement of assurance to comply with the regulation when applying for financial assistance. The requirements also empower the director to enforce these according to the assurances. Therefore, administration’s interpretation, it is justified in demanding compliance with Title IX. WSC objects to both the administration’s interpretation of Title IX, and the method and timing of its demand to meet the requirements. In an official WSC statement, the College claimed that the administration’s “ultimatum” allowed neither time nor opportunity for any dialogue. College members assert that it is clearly a political issue, especially in view of the highly “selective” nature of the administration’s interpretation. The College claims that there is no evidence that other programs have been similarly screened or other violations exposed. They also point out that Title IX provides for hearings and appeals in the event of an alleged violation. The College is trying to defend its policy by citing the “affirmative action” clause of Title IX. This section states that if existing conditions are not the result of a set, discriminatory policy, then the situation should not be considered a direct violation. But the WSC situation is indefensable on these grounds, the College admits. WSC views male participation in certain courses as inappropriate, since the purposes of activities such as consciousness-raising would be defeated under those circumstances Assistant Professor of Law Grace Blumberg, who is advising WSC, remarked that the administration is being unnecessarily “heavy-handed” with this issue, Blumberg claims the administration is cloaking its political and philosophical objections with the College behind Title IX. The University’s budget crunch this year is also significant, she feels. “It is the administration and not HEW that is challenging WSC,” Blumberg said, adding that “the administration has been less than sympathetic or even patient with their demands and it leads one to think that WSC threatens them is some way.” Assistance for pet owners BARC aim by Carol Weber Staff Writer Spectrum The Buffalo Animal Rights Committee (BARC), a project of the Community Action Corps (CAC), assists those who lost, found, or want animals. BARC’s purpose is to provide information to individuals with questions on animals or pets, and to refer them to agencies who can supply further help. BARC is currently preparing a booklet on the care of pets, which will include sections on spaying and neutering, health care, and the licensing of pets. The Committee is also concentrating on establishing a file for those in the University community who either want a pet, or know of pets needing homes. Forms describing an animal, its state of health, the area found or lost and other pertinent information will be compiled by BARC and requests will hopefully be matched. Unwanted, deserted BARC project is the establishment of a low-cost or free spaying and neutering service for Ene County residents. The taxpayers of Erie County spend over $400,000 alone a year on the care, collection and killing of unwanted dogs. Each year the cost increases with the growth of the animal population. Over half of the animals at pounds have been brought there by their owners. Less than 10 percent of the dogs turned into these shelters leave alive, and out of the 20 million unwanted cats born each year, only 7 percent are put in homes. Legislation for a low-cost or free spaying and neutering service has been proposed by Buffalo legislator Robin Schimminger. The proposal also requires the licensing of local animal shelters and pet stores. One project completed by the Committee is a survey of veterinary hospitals in the surrounding area which includes information on emergency care, suggested low-cost spaying and neutering services and veterinary specialties. Petitions BARC is also circulating petitions demanding an end to the bounty heads of wolves in Alaska, organizing a moratorium on the slaughtering of whales by Japan and the Soviet Union, and supporting a ban on certain agricultural poisons used by the United States which prove fatal to many animals. BARC hopes to acquire speakers from the Buffalo Zoo and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The Committee also hopes to show films on the slaughtering of animals, including seals, which will be obtained through the “Friends of on If you are finding difficulty meeting financial costs for proposed projects under your present budgets you are - entitled to submit revised or altered Animals” organization. A BARC table will be set up in the lobby of Norton this week with file forms, petitions, parpphlets and information available.

The Victorians boasted of their "high" standards of public decency. But history bears out that at the uppermost levels of British and American society during this period, sex was rampant from back alleys to dimly-lit flats, upstairs, downstairs, from Bond Street to Beacon Hill. The Common Council's anti-obscenity bill falls well within this repressive tradition. Unfortunately, there is some degree of truth in Councilman Raymond Lewandowski's association that "obscenity is not protected by the First Amendment right of free speech." Nevertheless, the Supreme Court has always insisted that any legislation designed to censor or restrain the sale or publication of "obscene" material be narrowly-defined and specifically directed. It was likewise maintained that books, magazines, films, etc. are "presumptively protected" by the Constitution until they are formally challenged in a court of — law. The new anti-obscenity bill violates these and other judicial safeguards of our most basic civil liberties. The ACLU and many of Buffalo's most prominent attorneys agree that it is too vague and does not "narrowly-define" the standards of obscenity. The bill is unconstitutional, according to legal precedents, it prohibits the exhibition of nudes in establishments which may be frequented by minors. In Erznoznik v. Jacksonville, the United States Supreme Court struck down a Florida city ordinance which contained the same prohibition. because It is unconstitutional because it violated the legal doctrine of "Pre-emption," which makes any city ordinance illegal that conflicts with the terms of a higher, state ordinance. The Common Council's bill, on at least two instances, makes certain activities illegal which the state obscenity laws do nqt. Legal scholars agree that in general, the Supreme Court takes a dim view of any legislation which infringes on freedom of expression. And despite the Court's admission that in "exceptional cases" the Constitutional protections are limited, "the State has a heavy burden to demonstrate that the limitations challenged present such as exceptional case," according to former Chief Justice Earl Warren. The anti-obscenity bill provides no such exceptional Editor's Note: Today's Editorial was written by Campus Editor Howard Greenblatt for The Spectrum.

Kahn larger President, Graduate Student Employees Union In a recent Guest Opinion (Oct. 3rd), a graduate assistant (hereafter “the writer''’) made some erroneous claims concerning the wages and working conditions of assistants, the major issues of the union, the effects of a union on undergraduates and negotiable items. These can be easily refuted by the facts. These facts were obtained from the Office of Employee Relations of New York (OER), the payroll list at this University, the lists of instructors and students for undergraduate classes, and information that we have received from department chairpersons. (Unfortunately the Reader's Digest has no relevant information in these areas.) More serious are the innuendos attempting to connect graduate student unions, including the Graduate Student Employees murders, (GSEU), with bombings, Union coercion, and harassment. 1 shall deal with these at the end of this editorial. First there is the erroneous claim that graduate students earn $10—$12.50 per hour on their assistantships. If assistants worked a 40 hour week for the entire year they would be making $20,000-$25,000 per year. According to the OER, assistants earn $2889 for a 42 week pay period. They also work close to a 20 hour week. This puts the actual hourly wage at $3.30 per hour or $6,860 per year if they worked a 40 hour week. This is about 64 percent of the wage rate paid to junior faculty (ABD) for the same duties! This is hardly an equitable situation and certainly shows that we don’t earn more than the professors. Furthermore, 1 think that 1 speak for most assistants when I say that, contrary to the writer’s beliefs, the quality of the assistants’ work is high. We only ask for a salary that is commensurate with the work performed. Of course, in the writer’s case, the salary is not commensurate with the work and that means either undergraduates suffer (if the writer is a Teaching Assistant) or research output suffers (if a Graduate Assistant). The ESEU does not approve of this kind of action (or lack of action) which in turn hurts students at this University. Next is the question of major issues that the GSEU is fighting for. Certainly the writer is correct when stating that wages is a major issue but telephones as the “second big issue”? That is to According ridiculous! our faculty representatives and stewards, health insurance and workmen’s compensation seem to be the major issues along with wages and job security. For example, at Wisconsin the state pays 80 percent of the Assistants’ health insurance. Assistants are automatically covered by workmen’s compensation and they also have sick leave. At this University, assistants can’t even buy into a decent group health insurance plan. When an assistant gets hurt in a lab (some have been seriously hurt already), he/she has a great deal of trouble collecting from workmen’s compensation and the student health plan doesn’t cover these accidents. With a union, graduate assistants would automatically be covered by workmen’s compensation (and unemployment insurance too). A union would also bring a safety policy and grievance procedures so that no assistant would be forced to work under hazardous conditions. These are the major issues and not the accessibility of telephones. Whai are the effects of a graduate student union on undergraduates? Some facts first. At this University about 50 percent of the contact hours of undergraduates are serviced by graduate students. In some departments over 50 percent of the undergraduate teaching is done by Teaching percent Assistants. We estimate that close of the undergraduate teaching is done by graduate students on assistantships. Yet we only take up 5 percent of the University budget. - if there were no assistants. The union seeks to increase the number of assistantships here and therefore reduce undergraduate class size. other effects. Without an working in the wages and conditions the University will not attract the best students available (already this University is behind other state schools such as Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa in the amount of money and benefits offered). This will hurt education since the undergraduate undergraduates will not get the best teachers who are available. Another possible outcome is that assistants will have to take on outside employment while carrying a full academic lead and teaching. The assistant’s academic life and teaching are bound to suffer under these circumstances and once again the undergraduates are hurt in the process. What about the effect on undergraduates seeking out graduate schools? As graduate students they would be subject to the pressures noted above if there were no union. Without a union there is no contract. Without a contract there is no security, and without security your income can be taken away at any time. How many people are wealthy enough to afford graduate school without this income? The alternative, again, is to procure part-time employment and thus hurt your own academic program. But wouldn’t a union raise the wage levels of assistantships and therefore reduce the number of assistantships available? No, At Wisonsin, where there is a union, the number of assistantships available has increased over the past few years. Here, where there is no legally recognized union, (about we lost 165 assistantships this past 16 percent of the total). Perhaps a contract with a security clause would have protected some of those assistantships. The writer’s argument about “privileges” (phones, offices, and tuition waivers) struck me as being rather odd. It was something to the effect that if we have negotiating rights we might lose these “privileges” and therefore, it is better not to have negotiating rights. There seems to be an assumption that involves the notion that as “privileges” these facilities and monies will always be available. This is not true. The very idea of calling these items “privileges” involves the notion that we have absolutely no rights to them. In that case either the University takes these privileges away or it doesn’t. If they decide to take them away, then without bargaining rights and negotiations they are gone. With bargaining rights we have an opportunity to negotiate and get these items back. Next there are the innuendos that connect the union at Wisconsin with the bombing of the during the computer center anti-war demonstrations. Of course the writer did not offer any evidence that union organizers had anything to do with the bombings. Do you know why? That’s right, because they had nothing to do with the bombings. Do you think that the Regents at Wisconsin would voluntarily allow the union to hold elections if they were connected with those violent actions? (Elections are held to determine if the student employees want a union. The employer has the right to contest the holding of those elections as they are doing here.) There are improvement Finally, I am appalled at the very suggestion that the organizers of the GSEU would resort to any means of harassment. Once again this is not supported by any facts, and is in direct contradiction with the actual practices of the union. It would appear that if there is any harassment being perpetrated, it is on the part of those who make unsupported and false innuendos while chosing to hide behind the mask of anonymity. The GSEU will always remain open and public as to who we are and what we are doing. �/•l I 3 i urn mil Up i i' i ,G Classical performances Very busy week for the musical community by Kerby Lovallo Spectrum Music Staff This was a busy week of performances for the University musical community. On Wednesday, October 1, the Cleveland Quartet played the second of six concerts in the annual Slee Beethoven String Quartet Cycle. Friday brought the inaugural performance of the University Philharmonia under the direction of Edward Gerber in selections by Handel, Haydn and Wagner. Also on the program was the University Choir with Harriet Simons conducting a Bach cantata. University-based composer Lejaren Hiller had his latest piece (I think) premiered at the Buffalo Philharmonic's opening pair of concerts, and Sunday, with Michael Tilson Thomas conducting. Monday, October 6, James VanDemark played the hell out of his double bass, pushing it beyond its supposed technical and expressive limits. As I said, it Saturday was a busy week and it sustained a fairly high level of artistic competence. Backbone The Cleveland Quartets program included Beethoven quartets Nos. 10 (Harp), 2 and 14. I haven't heard the Clevelanders sound this good since their Hunter College performance of No. 16 a couple years ago. To this listener their playing has become tired; sloppy balances, a weak rhythmic backbone, just generally diffused. though, most everything seemed in order. The fast movements weren't just fast, they had drive, direction (particularly the presto of No. 10) and personality. In the slower Last Wednesday the quartet sustained the lines with assurance and got into the various characters required deftly. Particularly effective were the many movements, shifts of mood throughout No. 14. My only complaint is that the opening allegro of No. 2 could have been on a more personal. conversational level. Here the Clevelanders delivered more than necessary in size of gestures. Aside from of that, this was a mature and polished display Beethoven's genius. Full sound String sounds again were the story on Friday night in the University Philharmonia concert. This is the University's symphonic elite and they played with excellent intonation, sureness of articulation and a gorgeous full sound. The strings in fact have a sound so big that it occasionally overloaded Baird Hall, which is really too small for this orchestra. The winds also sounded healthy and accurate (minus a few cracks from the horns). The most effective selection of the evening was Handel's Concerto Grosso, Op. 6 No. 12, displaying alternately vigor, grace and restraint. Haydn's Symphony No. 85 (La Reine) had fortes that overloaded (acoustically) the hall but showed warmth especially in the Romanze. Wagner's "A Siegfried Idyll" showed the orchestra well but seemed rather slack. Harriet Simons conducted the University Choir and a handful of instrumentalists in a discreet, moving rendition of J.S. Bach's Cantata No. 106, "God's Time is the Best Time." Slick reading Less than discrete was "Preview of Coming Attractions," Lejaren Hiller's computer piece that opened the Buffalo Philharmonic's 1975—76 season. A brass fanfare starts this piece on its merry way, quoting Brahms, Tchaikovsky and others via computer program and human (Hiller's) whim. On first hearing, it's fairly interesting if not ingratiating. What bothered me was the lack of woodwind sound occasional piccolo) in a piece where the woodwinds were scored as a separate, and (other than presumably important, section The program also yielded a slick reading of Richard Strauss' "Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks," the Philharmonic sounding very suave and polished. The reading could have used a few well-placed Germanic punches to offset all the shine but it was anyway Mahler's "Das Lied von der Erde" (The Song of the Earth) received a wholeheartedly sympathetic performance from all involved. Maureen Forrester and Kenneth Riegel as vocalists showed the ability to immerse themselves into the text and music. Their entertaining voices are supple instruments as was the orchestra under Thomas' direction. Particularly lovely was the flute and voice dialogue in the last song Fireworks 6, brought more singing, but from a double bass. James Van Demark's double bass recital showed his instrument capable of singing,* running, jumping and most important, making beautiful music. From the first phrase of Boccherini's Sonata No. 6, VanDeMark let it be Monday evening, October known that the adjectives clumsy and gruff would be useless in his presence. There was real plasticity to the playing, something I would never expect from the double bass. In Schubert's "Arpeggione" Sonata, VanDemark showed a musical sensibility to match his technical prowess, spinning out the melodies with feeling, rhythmically pointing the passagework for clarity. The drama of Bruch's Kol Nidrei showed further musical insight by Mr. VanDemark. Capping his recital with Paganini's Variations of a theme from Rossini's "Moses In Egypt" provided some virtuosic fireworks that astonished everyone. A remarkable recital.

It looks like the day of the funny sex romp will never come again. Undercovers Hero is cinematic it has about three laughs to its name and proof that's about it. But the worst crime it commits is having Peter Sellers star in it. It's too bad the film company has to cash in on this bomb with Sellers' name. The story, about as much of a cliche as you can get, is the old tale of the whorehouse that helps the French Resistance during World War II. All the Germans speak with English accents and are forever taking their pleasures in this house of ill-repute. Finally, Sellers joins the prostitutes to help get rid of the German soldiers by rigging the beds into powerful catapults. Meanwhile, the Gestapo is catching up with the idea and tries to find out where their men are going. — Heavy-handed Two changes in the Theatre Department schedule: Approaching Simone, by Megan Terry, replaces the originally scheduled Mother Ann. Saul Elkin directs Approaching Simone, to run at the Courtyard November 20—23 and December 4-7. Also, Ronnie Bwana Jungle Guide, originally scheduled to open October 15, has been postponed until October 24. Narration is added over the soundtrack and gives some of the worst deadpan sex jokes I've ever heard. For example, towards the end, we hear, "And these women giving their all, climax after climax, helped the war on its way . .Dear God, when will it stop? And, of course, among these whores with hearts of gold, is a shy, innocent Leslie-Caron-type girl who was dropped off by her mother with the head madame to earn a living as a maid\ But soon, our sweet rose loses her virtue to save her country — jeez! What seems to be the publicity angle in this British turkey is the fact that Sellers plays sex roles altogether. He was great in Return of the Pink Panther for one performance, but even all six new ones can't save this movie. The Boulting Brothers, the producer and director of this fiasco, should stop regressing back to the childhood times when they told bad dirty jokes, and start acting grown up.

But they keep on smiling. by Dean Billanti Spectrum Arts Staff Smile is a dark comedy that is deadly The film's director, Michael Ritchie (Downhill Racer, The Candidate, Prime Cut) and scenarist,, Jerry Belson, use a Santa Rosa beauty pageant for their target, but Smile turns out to be about much more. Smile begins with a sequence in which young women are waiting at an airport to depart for the contest. The camera tracks across the girls' faces, each with a smile plastered across it, while the soundtrack plays Charles Chaplin's song "Smile, though your heart is breaking One of the pivotal characters in Smile is more commonly Robert Freelander, around Santa • Rosa as known happy-go-luck "Big Bob" (Bruce Dern), one of the judges of the contest. "Big Bob" would appear to be solidly male. We learn, however, that Bob has a neglected wife and tells Brenda (Barbara Feldon) rather innocently that her husband was "my friend first, you stole him from me." Finally, this friend turns on him; "You know what your are? You're a Young American Miss!" serious. The American way of ritual also comes up for deflation in Smile. Scenarist Belson zeroes in on a "private party" the men of the town hold anually. The men are called upon to get drunk, go through a ceremony in which each must kiss a dead chicken's ass, throw each other into a pool of water, and otherwise make fools of themselves. Earlier, Miss Annaheim and Miss Antelope Valley meet for discussion. Miss Anaheim asks, "Why shouldn't girls get money, for being cute? Boys get money for making touchdowns." Miss Antelope Valley answers, "Maybe boys shouldn't get money for making touchdowns." Cavity Their character treatment of another important in Smile, Brenda Decarlo, represents a lapse in Ritchie's and Belson's overall conception, however. Brenda (fill in: Anita Bryant, etc.) is a former "Miss" now approaching 40. As the girls' den mother, Brenda lives for and through the pageant. She is frigid and has a drunken, but also a emasculated husband permanent smile on her face. Retrospect Most of the men in the film (including Bob's friend, who is apprehensive about reaching 35) grew up in the 1950's a story Bob relates about having almost met Elizabeth Taylor on the weekend she ran off with Nicky Hilton and "Let the Good Times Roll" on the soundtrack as Bob drives off to meet his buddies confirm this but in fact they have never really grown up. Now adrift in the mid-seventies, they are disillusioned and confused, and are Yet when her husband takes a pot shot at her with his gun, his resultant feeling of The release is treated positively. filmmakers' ambivalence toward this character is a definite flaw. Smile is at times horribly funny. One contestant. Miss Salinas, plays up her Mexican background for votes and is dedicatedly obnoxious throughout. The other women have vowed to get even if they lose and do so by placing a little extra - to be — now closed curtain. Promenade The filmmaker's handling of the contestants is delicate and understated. as Miss Annette O'Toole Anaheim is exceptional. As Miss Antelope Valley, Joan Prather imbues her role of the wide-eyed and innocent with a genuine intelligence, and as Miss Salinas, Maria O'Brien is ihilarious. Barbara Feldon does the best she can with a difficult part and Bruce Dern shows remarkable skill, although he is a little bit excessive when called upon to be Hollywood As a has-been "gay." choreographer, Michael Kill (actually one of Hollywood's finest choreographers) is excellent. Conrad Hall, a superb cinematographer, photographed Smile. Hall has usually worked on films that are more static, such as westerns.

It hasn't played New York City yet, but has just opened around the country. The local newspaper campaign for the film features three young women sitting on their suitcases under the rather standard caption; "Will she make it.. .?" But the posters outside the Como Theater feature something different; a smiling young woman coming out of a toothpast tube, riding on a rainbow of colors. Why the discrepancy? Why are the theaters advertising Smile as a "new comedy hit?" One would think they didn't want audiences to take this fine film seriously they’d prefer that we simply "keep — on top of her.

In another work of the same series two young bridesmaids sit on a bed, each caught in her own world and reflecting upon her own emotions and thoughts, neither conscious of the other. Contrary to this psychological separateness is the strong sense of emotional interaction between husband and wife, brother and sister, parents and children, and boyfriend and girlfriend in Rogovin's various sections dealing with these relationships. Attitudes which these individuals hold toward one another are echoed by the poses and gestures they have assumed. a wide variety of Possessiveness, uneasiness, pride emotions are expressed even though these individuals consciously posed tor their photographs, frontally pressed against the photographic plane. It's as if they desired the spectator to know what they feel, to know what they think by wiping away the mask that so many of us wear Rogovin exhibition Buffalo history analyzed from the psychological point of view Editor's Note: Last Friday, Prodigal Sun carried an article by Paul Krehbiel dealing with Milton Rogovin's photographic exhibition at the Albright-Knox Gallery from a primarily sociological point of view. This week, Janice Simon approaches the show from a different perspective. by Janice Simon Spectrum Art Critic — tendency with color photography. It has this effect because man sees his life unravel before him in color; black and white suggests tones of the past and future, rather than of the immediate present. By the arrangement of these timeless photographs into contextual sections, a more powerful exhibit is created than if works were to stand totally alone without the implicit relationships and comparisons of the group every day. Time pieces Rogovin intensifies this spirit by juxtaposing the couples or family against certain objects such as calendars and snapshots which allude to an expanse of time in which these people have endured together. It is in these works that the hopes for tomorrow or the weariness of the past speaks to the viewer. Besides dealing with the relationships between individuals, Rogovin centers in on the individual himself in another group of photographs. Either framed by the shops they own, the inside of a room, a house for rent, or against the side of the street, these individuals open themselves with all of their strengths and weaknesses to the spectator. Within the span of an individual's life, his experiences and impressions become imprinted in the mind, forming attitudes and shaping the individual's personality. These attitudes and the memories which molded them surface momentarily for the outsider to grasp either as verbal or physical reactions to a particular occurrence or just as aspontaneous expression of character. Since the photograph can suspend time, take a moment and freeze it for eternity, it is a viable means of revealing the individual's attitudes for all to view, provided As the viewer passes from one "portrait" to the next the sense of distinct human presences intensifies and the complexity of human existence is unveiled for the spectator to marvel at. The richest and most complex images of the exhibition are those showing only objects or environments which give clues to the personalities of the absent owners. Pictures of children in front of an ornate vase, religious statues and rosary beads sitting on a dresser, workboots and shoes placed on a table below a "Puerto Rican Power" sign, and dreary stairs framing a tattered wall evoke the human experience, as do all of Rogovin's photographs, but in a more subtle way with a sensitivity for objects and the photographer is perceptive enough to grasp the right moment, that most indicative of the subject's personality. Milton Rogovin is one such photographer, who in an exhibit now on view at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery until November 9 delves into the emotions, beliefs and experiences of a group of people who reside within the area of Hudson and Cottage Streets, Trenton and Elmwood Avenues, or as Rogovin terms it: “within the shadow of Buffalo City Hall." Life process vs. photographic process Stark and objective, shot straight on without fancy techniques, Rogovin's photographs are concerned with the lives of the individuals they depict, not with the process of photography. Yet, they are artistic, not just factual documentations, but carefully thought out images created by a sensitive eye for an effective composition, one where form reflects content. Working in black and white creates a heightening of the dark and light contrasts and more immediate and powerful images. It also lends to the photographs a timeless quantity, a sense of a totality of experience rather than just a moment within a sequence of events, as is the . organization. This is not to say that the photographs are individually successful, but together they emit a general atmosphere of the human presence and allow for a more encompassing view of the idea of the individual and not their compositional arrangement. Despite their starkness, this series of photographs touches the poetic while the others do not; instead, they present the directness of the human presence. Vet, no matter which direction these photographs take, either one of forcefulness or subtlety, Rogovin has created a set of works which speak to every individual, for in transcending the particulars they specifically depict by their breadth of concept, Rogovin's photographs reflect a universal theme: that of the human experience. his relationship to the environment. Taking advantage of thy situation Rogovin explores the individual emotions and thoughts that arise in a specific situation, such as with his series of photographs dealing with a wedding. They are not a revelation within the The happiness of the bride and range of human experience. a documentation of this event, but Concert Productions International Presents SHR NR NR "WHAT'S OUR BAG?"

Similarly, the anthology bears out that imperialism Our Weekly Reader The Negritude Poets; An Anthology of Translations From The French, Ellen Conroy Kennedy, The Viking Press (Hardcover) * Those who resist seeing literature as the bedfellow of social policy might well skip this review. Ellen Conroy Kennedy's introductory remarks purport to give the Negritude poets an audience by presenting "a body of work still neglected and too little understood in the English speaking world.” However crucial the problem of language is, Kennedy misconstrues the real problem in her singular attempt to insist that all high art resides in print. The question of language is not that these Francophone poets of Negritude seldom appear in English translations, but rather the relevance of the French (or the English) as a public language to conduct an essentially African affair. Otherwise this poetry is a schizophrenic activity directed more at an imposed foreign imposed power than at an African audience. The French language symbolizes the legacy of the corruption and bad faith of colonialism. Full flowering of the black aesthetic is inhibited to the extent that the Negritude poets define themselves by the dialectic between a traditional African ethos and an imposed European culture: provokes a "bad" psychological reaction. This is part of the problem. It is hard to talk about these poems without arousing political prejudices. Distinguished by their verbal iconoclasm, the Negritude poets are courted and celebrated by Kennedy. The effect is not untie the alternate meowing and purring of a pampered cat that suffers from too much coddling and too little genuine affection. Because the Negritude poets are essentially involved in a romantic outpouring that seems more political than literary, the real question of clarifying a theoretical framework is problematical. The lack of a conscious philosophy suggests that the pervasive inheritance of these poets might have been artistic disorientation. To apply the label "movement," is fraught with difficulties since again it hints at a conscious theoretical framework. And, of course, a "movement" suggests leadership and activism, whereas most of the Negritude poets are scattered, dead, or silent: Cesaire (was) drowned; Senghor (is) hopelessly gifted, curiously compromised, silent. As a document attesting to the force vitale of a continental African pesence in Europe, Kennedy's The Negritude Poets is significant. As a book giving the truth to the lie of "contented slaves," it is invaluable. But mostly it is a showcase for those who pride themselves in knowing the pulse beat of continental Africa. —Earfene Stetson We're simply done in Africa in American With being - Your Negroes Your niggers Your dirty niggers We won't take it anymore To be sure, the Negritude poets might evolve their own unique modalities out of the tensions arising from these two opposing realities, but the question remains; Are these poems artistically outstanding within either context? The issue is not merely rhetorical; The question of how the black artist retains artistic integrity when threatened by a multitude of problems (patronage, language, the lack of publishing houses) is central to the literary process. Crying "black is beautiful" can be like whistling in the dark. The visceral urge to continually scream and shout it lends credence to their insecurity. In a significant way, this anthology is about crying and screaming. No doubt there is Our Weekly Reader Man Kind?, Cleveland Amory, Dell, 1974 (Paper) Man Kind? is a full-length attempt to accurately present the plight of our world's wildlife. The text is most valuable for its carefully documented facts and statistics on how quickly various breeds are vanishing and why exposing "mankind's" atrocities. The realms of hunting, trapping, fishing, clubbing and as well as their "humane" poisoning are explored explanations; sport, profit, nourishment and varmint — — celebrities' opinions detracts from the central issue. Amory also clumsily introduces irrelevant issues such as Communism, religion, sexism and drug addiction in an attempt to further indict the sportsmen. Amory is alternately humorous and appalled, misanthropic and optimistic, but he is always sincere. Fighting for what he believes to be the most — control. Without any heavy-handed proselyting, author Cleveland Amory successfully instills a sense of personal guilt in the reader. He begins by resorting to insults. He calls men "bestial," "batty," "chicken," "fishy" and "slothful" (though he quickly reverts statistical tables). Few creatures, he says, are less humane than man; "In nothing does man, with his grand notions of heaven and charity, show forth his innate, lowbred, wild animalism more clearly than in his treatment of his brother beasts." Amory documents the individual tragedies of the seal' the coyote, the eagle, the dolphin, even the crusader who tries to "buck" Washington. Most disheartening was the fact that the earth's last untouched ecosystem, Antarctica, is now being exploited. After describing how some young hunters stuck cigarettes in the beaks of six freshly-bagged blue geese, he says, "The incident in itself was relatively harmless . . but it is the same type of irreverence for life that has put an entire environment in peril." In the midst of his emotional pleas, Amory logically points out that since the efforts to save endangered species are often futile, and historically we have refused to act until this critical point is reached, man may exterminate himself. Amory insists "halfway measures are simply not enough" yet all he advocates is deluging federal governments with letters of protest (presumably less entertaining than his book, but more scathing). Beyond documentary, Man Kind? is concerned with refuting the case of the hunter, and pointing to the mediocre positions taken by almost all existent conservationist societies, most of which are interested primarily in preserving America's economy.

Most of the music is rather laughable in The Hungry Years and nearly all of the lyrics circle around the theme of "c'mon-baby-what-went wrong?" trivia. Even the excellence of musicianship on the album can’t help the bombing of this album. Another problem is the bland string arrangements by Artie Butler, whose main orchestral endeavors are in movies and television shows. But we can't blame him that much since the material was very weak to begin with. Even the picture on the inside record cover shows Sedaka in they type of "adonis pose" you would see in 16 Magazine. This could really make you throw up. Sedaka even has the nerve to do a re-make of "Breaking Up is Hard to Do," his early great hit. Arranged by Richard Carpenter (of the Carpenters), it sounds like the type of schmalts you can hear in night clubs. Veccch!

His music, as indicated by the album title, is strictly disco. It consists basically or long Barry White type instrumentals interspersed here and. there with short vocal hooks. Songs like "The Hustle" and "Fight the Power" are examples of disco music. Disco music may be good for discotheques but when it starts to spread throughout rock, as it is currently doing, the quality of the music deteriorates. When such notoriously non-disco acts as The Bee Gees and The Eagles ("One of These Nights") have to resort to disco music to increase their record sales, rock music is in one of its lowest periods. Van McCoy shows no versatility. Each cut sounds like the one before it and the lyrics are meaningless. For instance the only lyrics in the track "The Walk" are: "Walk, walk, get it, get it." People consider him a recording artist? How can anyone really take his music seriously? Even the album sleeve is ridiculous. McCoy looks as if he just got out of a purple and gold '66 Cadillac that has 36 body ornaments and a Landau top covering the back window. The only thing missing from the vest McCoy is wearing is a button saying he's a pimp. He certainly tries to give the appearance of one. This album is totally pointless. Even the song titles are ludicrous: "Roll With the Punches," "Keep on Hustlin' and "Earthquake." I'm sure this album was recorded in less than a day. How many takes does an artist need when there are only two lyrics to the song and they're sung twice every minute? And to think there are rock stars out of work, dying to get back in a recording studio. How can a Van McCoy record an album and hit the album charts when a John Sebastian puts out an album that sells 16 copies? The only hope for now is that the disco craze will fade out and the record buying public won't be swamped with Van McCoys and B.T. Express. Steven Brieff " Prodigal Sun �... . .. / Snore. Now here is the tough part. Granted the Nitty are thoroughly competent musicians. Granted there is never a sense of disjointedness about the album. Granted that it's never unpleasant. All that taken, there's still one problem; the Dirt Band, neither here nor on any of their other efforts, do they really tell us who they are, outside of being good mimics. They put so much effort into convincing us that they're reasonable facsimiles of the Allman Brothers, the Foggy Mountain Boys and the Kershaw Cajun Band, that they establish no identity for themselves. Grittys —My father In dreams, I often have a strange sense of both participating and not participating; a sensation of observing myself in action. It's odd to be saying this about any musicians, but the Nifty Gritty Dirt Band's music has a great deal in common with this kind of vicarious participation.

Those who were devoted to such albums as Fillmore East and Eat a Peach are considerably less pleased with the Brothers and Gregg's newer work. Happily, there are several groups that offer an 21 76 Delaware Ave buttalo 874-0777 enjoyable alternative to the realigned Allman's. One of the best of the newer groups is the Charlie Daniels Band. This band, which put, on an excellent performance in Buffalo last year while releasing a fine album, Fire on the Mountain, continues to impress with their latest effort, Nightrider. Charlie Daniels was long known down South as an excellent studio musician who played with many of the notables including Dylan on his Nashville Skyline. Here he has collected a group of musicians who help him display his talents, which is considerable. He is easily one of the finest fiddlers in the South and plays a very nice electric guitar, which doesn't, unfortunately, get enough exposure in this album. The rest of the band is highlighted by keyboard man Joel DiGregorio. Second guitar Tom Crain also gets in some nice licks with Daniels, reminiscent of old Duane Allman-Dicky Betts duels. When the Mott, Drive On (Columbia) Mott The Hoople is now simply Mott. Ian Hunter has since departed, taking with him "The Hoople," his infamous shades and Bowie's alter ego Mick Ronson. The arduous task of putting Mott back on track fell on the only two original members. Dale Griffin on drums and bassist Overend Watts. The future looked bleak. Mott had to prove their ability without Hunter's guidance and the smart money wasn't going with Mott's chances of success. Drive On champions the underdog. It is an album that is quite good considering the ominous its surrounding conception. Mott factors demonstrates a professionalism that enables their simplistic rock to sound fresh and fairly exciting. A couple of bitter sweet ballads nicely contrast with the more high energy rock numbers. Drive On almost captures the fading magic and power of rock and roll. As far as rock albums go, one could do far worse than seeking some temporary relief and refuge in Mott's latest offering. How can anyone not feel a warm connection with a band that was once produced by David Bowie, did "Sweet Jane" and had the impeccable taste to cover the inside of one of their Ips with a D.H. Lawrence trodigai bun Band succeeds in recreating those duels, sucli as in "Funky Junky" and "Birmingham Blues," they are at their best. This is a nice, rockin' country album, but this group is capable of bigger things in a less-country, more-blues oriented format. —David Friedman poem Drive On is a worthy scion of this band with such a rich musical history. —C.P.

Curiosity invokes us to ask the question — WHY??? Of the many insomniacs roaming the corridors of Ellicott all hours of the night, we have thus far excluded only six possible suspects who would repetitiously and obnoxiously commit such an act as “pulling a false alarm.” We know for sure that it isn’t the Scare-Crow, for he fears anything associated with the word “FIRE.” Equally sure we can exclude the Lion, for he*s chicken It wasn’t the Tin Man because we know he’s been in Room 1164 getting a lube job every night.

At this meeting Ketter indicated that the inclusion of a non-discriminatory clause is the remaining condition for approval of the Charter by the October 15, 1975 Women’s Studies College deadline. WSC took Ketter’s condition to its Governance Assembly on October 1, 1975. It was unanimously decided that the following statement would be included in the Charter: “Women’s Studies College is of program committed to a policy a non-discrimination. Women’s Studies College does not unlawfully discriminate on the grounds of race, color, creed, sex or national origins.” A letter was sent to President Ketter on October 3, 1975, stating that WSC had voted unanimously to of the inclusion of a his condition accept non-discriminatory clause in its Charter. WSC requested that Ketter inform the College of his official approval by Wednesday, October 8, 1975. WSC hopes to announce official approval of its charter at its October 15 rally to be held at noon in Haas Lounge, Norton Union. It will also be an informational rally on all-women’s classes, at which there will be speakers, entertainment and the initiation of a petition campaign. Women's Studies College Inexcusable omission To the Editor It came to my attention that on the centerfold of The Spectrum commemorating International Women’s Year, that there was not one Black, Puerto Rican or Third World woman in the pictures titled “The Illuminated Working Woman.” I am sure that if you looked really well, you would have found quite a few here on campus and in the community. If you are writing or showing pictures of working women, then you must not forget about the Puerto Rican and Third World, women because they are definitely a part of the working Blacks, class and have been struggling for years and still are. There was a part of a speech by Sojourner Truth in the article, “Striving for Identity: Women in History,” and another on the Women in the Middle East, but that is only a very small taste; what about others? I can’t imagine what possible excuse that would satisfy me that could be given to explain this but if you are commemorating International Women’s Year, please do it right.

Name withheld upon request Poorly run elections To the Editor Thursday October 2, an election was held, in which I was a candidate. 1 am not protesting because I lost, but because of the apathy of the students on campus. Out of 27,000 eligible voters, LESS THAN 400 bothered to vote. This is a little over 1 percent of the total enrollment here. I feel the apathy of the student body reflects their attitude of non-commital opinions about University policy. 1 also believe the election of College Council was a big joke to the Student Association, which didn’t even know in its own structure, which election it was running. 1 had to persistently keep after Michele Smith, SA President and Stephanie Wander of Elections and Credentials to find out the RIGHT election date (Sept. 30 or Oct. 2). Then they put up the wrong signs at the polls. Their signs read Student Council Elections, NOT College Council. 1 went to Stephanie and told her about the signs; she asked me what’s the difference.

This park has a variety of trees, including elms, oaks, maples, and poplars. Picnic areas and shelters dot the woods of Chestnut Ridge, surrounded by a maze of trails. In the twon of Aurora, Emery Park contains wooded sections, shelters and picnic areas. The smallest park is Akron Falls, located east of Buffalo in Newstead. Within the park, hikers can’view a waterfall surrounded by multi-colored trees or wade through a rushing stream. The county parks are becoming more popular every year and the Department of Recreation offers a variety of park-oriented programs. These parks are free to the general public. State parks charge admittance fees. Wilderness preserved The two state parks in the Western New York region are Alleghany and Letchworth, both part of the State Council of Parks. Alleghany is the largest state park in New York. Found in the southwestern sector along the New York-Pennsylvania border, it is seven miles west of Salamanca. A unique aspect of Alleghany is its location in a section of the state that was never covered by glaciers. As a result, the wilderness has been preserved the,way it was thousands of years ago. Preservation is an important reason behind the state park system. John Letchworth, worried that his land was being destroyed, donated a large portion to the state in 1906. Today, Letchworth State is known as “the Grand Canyon of the East” because of its deep 15-mile gorge. The park has three waterfalls and a landscaped section of trees. Both state parks have the usual facilities plus cabins. Deer huntinf is allowed in both parks and limited turkey hunting is permitted in Alleghany.

Upon entering any one of the parks, the visitor is presented with a panorama of colors. Vibrant yellows, oranges, greens, purples, reds and rusts of the leaves crown the tops of the trees. The visitor is hard pressed not to be awed when sunlight, filtering down through the branches, hits the ground in an intricate pattern of shadows and highlights. As fall very quickly changes into winter. Chestnut Ridge, Alleghany and Letchworth adapt to the colder weather by providing facilities for such activities as skiing (down-hill and cross country), toboganning, sledding and snowmobiling.

Bulls drop first game while darkness decides second tilt by Paige Miller A ssistant Sports Editor NIAGARA The Bulls had loaded the bases with two out in the top of the tenth inning against Niagara on Tuesday. The tension was mounting as the sun slowly the horizon. sank below Suddenly, Buffalo coach Bill Monkarsh came trotting down the third base line, offering to call the game because of darkness. Niagara couch Paul Smith was surprised, but nevertheless accepted. Later Monkarsh explained, “You couldn’t see out there. I didn’t want anyone to get hurt.” So the Bulls, after dropping the first game 3-2, had to settle for a 5-5 tie in the second game. It was a frustrating day for Buffalo. The Bulls used five freshmen and several other players not at their normal positions. “No question about it,” Monkarsh said. “Our inexperience hurt us.” In fact, Buffalo should have won both games. - Ooops! With two out in the bottom of _the first inning of the opener, the Purple Eagles’ John Riggie walked, and then Tom Bannon singled him to third. Mike Malek was next, and he hit a fly to center, which Bulls centerfielder Jim Mary* never saw. By the time he did see it,‘Malek had a triple and Niagara had two runs they shouldn’t have had. Naturally, the two runs changed the outcome of the game. Jim Niewczyk, who had been having control problems but was otherwise tough to hit, was the Bulls’ hard luck loser. Niewczyk also relieved Mike Dean in the second game, and again was the victim of some bizarre outfielding. In the top of the ninth, Buffalo’s Mike Burg led off with a walk and promptly stole second. Freshman John White then hit a long flyball to center, which was misjudged by Niagara’s Lou Thyroff. The ball landed just out of Thyroff s reach, giving White a triple. Mike Dixon then singled White home to give Buffalo a two run lead. Not again That must have made Niewczyk and the Bulls feel better. But not for long. Niewczyk walked the first two Purple Eagles he faced in the of Detroit, or Dallas 10-3. This puts his log a of compiled weekly again he correctly, season’s performance at 28-11 (.71 5) nothing to sneer at. Despite the Wizard’s inability to pick Buffalo, bottom of the ninth. Then'history repeated itself for the third time. Freshman rightfielder Eddy Terrell misjudged Bob Stanley’s flyball, and it sailed over his head, allowing one run to score. Tom Zaccardo followed with a sacrifice fly, enabling'Niagara to re-tie the game. Monkarsh refused to put the blame on his outfielders alone. He claimed that it was more of a ‘Team loss” since the Bulls’ bats were silent when they shouldn’t have been. Three times, Buffalo loaded the bases, but failed to score, including the last inning of each game. “Th’ey (Niagara’s pitchers) got ahead of our hitters,” Monkarsh noted. “Then the pressure got to our hitters. We had the wrong man up at the right time,” he added, again referring to Buffalo’s inexperience. Nevertheless, Monkarsh saw some things that made him happy. “I was pleased with our pitching staff. I thought Mike Dean pitched well in the second game,” he said. Monkarsh also was happy with the way Buffalo came back after being down twice and he felt that both White and Jack Kamraska, who was hurt, were standouts. Despite the numerous miscues by the freshmen, Monkarsh indicated that he would continue to use them, so that they would be ready in the spring. “That’s when it counts,” he added. For a little more than a decade the American League has been suffering from an inferiority complex. Its inability to win All-Star games has caused it to be considered the “other league,” second to the National. Its only salvation has been the World Series. Thanks to the Oakland A’s and the Baltimore Orioles, the A.L. has won four of the last five Fall Classics and maintained a sufficient amount of prestige. If the A.L. keeps winning World Series, how bad can it be? this the year However, American League does not have the A’s, world champs the last three years, to count on. Oakland was blown out of the divisional playoffs by the Boston Red Sox. The Boston Red Sox? A.L. fans are shaking their heads. How can the Bosox defeat the almighty Cincinnati Reds, a team with no glaring weaknesses. The Reds, 2-4 in past Series everything have competition, imaginable. They have the best catcher in baseball in Johnny Bench, the best third baseman in Pete Rose, and possibly the best second baseman in Joe Morgan. In addition to these big three, surplus of Cincinnati has a I realize I might be compared unfavorably with the _ Wizard of Odds and may receive stacks of nasty mail from angry Reds fans, but it’s my guess that the Red Sox will upset the heavily favored Reds in a long and bitterly fought World Series. The Sox, who have been victorious in five of their seven past Series, have been winning the “must” games all are this year’s They year. Cinderella team and may be likened to the 1969 Mets. Among Boston’s assets is a solid, clutch offense and an effective defense. Their pitching, which had been shaky all year, was strong against the A’s. of all, Boston has But most Fenway Park, with its Green Monster in left field, which can destroy lefthanded pitchers. Only southpaw one left Fenway victorious all season. Cincinnati’s top starter, Don Gullett, is left handed and if the Series lasts seven games (with games 1, 2, 6 and 7 being played in Boston), he would have to pitch the first and seventh contests in Fenway, a disheartening prospect to say the least. With the Green Monster, Fred the Luis Tiant and incredible Carl Yastrzemski look for the Red Sox to do the celebrating when it’s all over. Lynn, outstanding players. George Foster, Cesar Geronimo and Tony Perez supply the Reds with power, speed and top notch defense.

Women’s Studies and Inten been overplayed, and the Student Assoc utterly inane. Even the budget crises havi create any new interest among students. The Spectrum has not been its contro’ It hasn’t had the juicy scandals or biting reputation. The reasons for this are numen has been that there are no scandals to ex' programs to criticize. The editorial page of the October 8 out this point. Most of the letters pu oversights made in certain stories, or mild criticisms of various points of view. There is very little to disagree with. The only topic which seems to have upset Buffalo students this semester is the predictions of the Wizard of Odds. Today, as on all Fridays throughout the professional football season, the Wizard endeavors through ESP, top secret scouting reports, and personal whim, to predict the outcomes in the National Football League the following Sunday and Monday night. So far, the Wizard has been successful. His 71 percent accuracy rating is at least respectable. Yet week after week letters come in complaining about his selections. He has been called an “asshole moron,” an “obvious fart” who “talks out of his ass,” and a “microccphalic idiot.” All the letters complain that the Wizard is totally unfit to predict football scores, despite the fact that he does forecast well each week. Closer inspection of the Wizard’s selections sheds some light on the mystery. The angelic Buffalo Bills are 3-0 this year, and haven’t looked better since the days of Cookie Gilchrist and Jack Kemp. But the Wizard has picked the Bills to lose each time out. Furthermore, the letters insinuate that the Wizard must be some terrible ogre from New York City because no Buffalonian in his right mind would dare publicly to pick the Bills to lose. So. Now the issue is clear. It is not “the Wizard stinks vs. the Wizard is great.” It is instead, “The Wizard stinks ‘cause he’s from New York vs. New Yorkers are great.” It’s the old Michael O’Neill controversy. Buffalonians hate New Yorkers because they are snobs, and New Yorkers hate Buffalonians because they are hicks. Now we’re getting some controversy. How many of you Queen City dwellers out there have good friends from New York and vice-versa? Actually, each side has some great arguments. New Yorkers as a whole are indeed snobbish. People from Brooklyn do in fact say “Toidy toid and toid.” They certainly do overestimate the size of New York and underestimate that of Buffalo. On the other hand, New York is a great city. Its cultural and business attractions are unmatched. Being from New York is classy. Then again, Buffalo isn’t a total void by any means. It does offer cultural attractions, though not as many as New York, and it is much less impersonal than the Big Apple. It also happens to be a fine sports Soccer Bulls beat Niagara 4 —2 to clinch championship pass. Kulu made the play by drawing three Niagara defensemen away from the goal with his taunting dribbling tactics. by Ira Brushman Spectrum Staff Writer The soccer Bulls clinched the Big Four championship on Wednesday by beating Niagara 4-2. That win, coupled with victories over Buffalo State 2-1, and Canisius 3-0, gives the Bulls a perfect 3-0 record against conference schools. Their overall record is now 6-2. Sophomore Emmanuel Kulu and Junior Jeff Reid provided the offensive punch in the Bulls’ win. Kulu scored one goal and set up two more, both of which were scored by Reid. Kulu to Reid again The second half was completely dominated by Buffalo. The Bulls increased their lead to 4-1 on another similar effort by Kulu and Reid. Kulu again lured a gang of Purple Eagles away from the goal, and then passed perfectly to Reid. Niagara rounded out the scoring with a meaningless goal near the end of the game. Coach Sal Esposito was relatively pleased with his team’s performance, explaining, “I wasn’t real happy with the first half, but in the second half, we were picking up their halfbacks and playing good soccer. The two finest plays of the game were Kulu’s two assists to Reid. He does that so well,” Esposito Bulls take early lead Buffalo struck first just five and a half minutes into the game when Mike Allyn passed to Mike Pietrasik who neatly headed the ball in. The score said. was Pietrasik’s third in his last two games. Kulu himself seemed quite pleased with his own After Niagara tied it up, the Bulls regained the well, “We are lead at the 39:34 mark of the first half on a free kick performance, and that of the team’s as The is now. We will really improving. together eleven team in goals The now has star forward by Kulu. just six games. The Buffalo record for goals in a win the SUNY Center Tournament, and I’m telling season is 15 by Jim Young, and Kulu seems you that we can surprise in the NCAA if we make confident that he will surpass that mark. “I will it,” he commented. As for his personal success, Kulu noted, “1 definitely break the record. Only half the season is should be All-American this year. 1 should have gone, and I already have 11,” Kulu said. The gulls extended their lead to 3-1 five and a gotten it last year, but we didn’t play enough good half minutes later as Kulu set up Reid with a perfect teams.” town. But Buffalo is hardly a dream city. “Mary,” “merry,” and “marry” distictly different words. Lake Erie is as polluted as the people in Murphy’s Tavern on a Saturday night. These are just a small sampling of the many arguments for and against New York State’s two largest cities and their inhabitants. The bad feeling between them is there, but it takes a Wizard of Odds to snuff it out. If this column has infuriated you just a bit, don’t hesitate to write the nastiest letter you can. The Wizard and 1 would really be interested to hear your opinions on this subject.

Welch said the College will sponsor talks on how to live cheaply and nutritiously and on how to cut utility bills through energy conservation. Daily activity In addition to the formal academic program, the College’s residential unit offers almost daily activities ranging from lectures to apple picking. A favorite activity is Sunday night dinner, open to anybody (for $1) who signs up by Friday afternoon at the College office in Wilkeson Quad in the Ellicott Complex. Welch and Parsons pointed out that the College was serving large numbers of students on a painfully limited budget. About 40 courses are offered, many of cross-listed with which are academic departments. For this large load, Welch observed that the total budget for the College staffs salaries is less than that necessary to pay a full professor in any academic department. For instance, he said the College offered a course in Plant Taxonomy taught by a man holding a doctorate in that subject, which was cross-listed with the Biology Department. The College paid him $650, according to Welch, or less than one-fifth of what a regular University faculty member averages for each course. “If there isn’t any change, the College will finish in the red this Siupgl-fCarlK year,” Parsons said. “We’d like to have outdoor education and environmental technology in the curriculum,” he added, but said that they couldn’t do this without more money. Responsibility cited “We’re an academically responsible unit that serves the University and the community, and we want full academic and recognition,” Welch financial asserted. Cora P. Maloney College was born from the remnants of the old College E. Its history has been one of development, said faculty master Frank Brown, a member of the Educational Administration Department. Cora P. Maloney is currently located in buildings 5 and 6 of Ellicott’s Fargo Quad, and is dedicated to studying subjects of interest to inner-city residents. Brown stressed that the residential unit, which currently houses 85 students, welcomes people of all ethnic backgrounds. Cora P. Maloney courses cover such areas as inner-city housing, delivery of health services in the inner city, and recreation for the inner-city. In addition, Brown said, the College has been trying to work out internships with the local media. The College now provides interns to Buffalo’s three black newspapers, he reported, and hopes to send interns to newspapers serving other ethnic groups in the near future. —continued on page 8— Lunlker & EraflsKop Handcrafted leather, jewelry, sand pottery, candles, stained glass, imported leather, photographs, and handcrafted furniture.

Ray Glass, one of the founders decision is final by Richard Korman Managing Editor The decision to renew the three year contract of Speech Communications Department Chairman Molefi Asante vas announced Monday by Social Sciences Provost Arthur Butler. Butler made his announcement in a conference room at the Ridge Lea Campus crowded with over 40 cheering students who had stood outside in hallways in support of Asante. Butler touched off angry criticism and charges of racism last week from graduate and undergraduate Speech Communications students, the Black Student Union (BSU) and the Third World Veteran’s Organization when he first upheld a faculty vote he said was against renewing Asante’s contract, which expires in August 1976. Asante, who is tenured, is the only black department chairman at this University. He could not be reached for comment. BSU President Larry Williams had urged both black and white students in an afternoon rally at Norton Square to gether at Ridge Lea in support of Asante while awaiting the final decision of the provost. When the first decision was announced last week, dismayed students began flooding Butler’s office. Eventually, he decided to reconsider. The controversy began when Butler reported that the results of secret balloting by the department faculty came out against reappointing Asante. He also said that balloting by graduate students was heavily in Asante’s favor. Butler refused to reveal the actual number of votes for and against Asante in each election, and would only disclose whether a vote was favorable or not Strong support The vote among the Speech Communications graduate students was estimated to be as high as two-thirds in favor of retaining Asante as chairman. According to several graduate students familiar with the leanings of the 11 member faculty, the vote against Asante may have been decided by one or two ballots. Departmental votes are normally held one year before a chairman’s appointment expires. After the faculty provost evaluates the results of departmental elections, he forwards a recommendation to the Vice President for Academic Affairs, who in turn, makes a recommendation to President Robert Ketter. His passpoit photos. grad >». Butler defended concealing the actual tabulation of the departmental elections to safeguard the anonymity of the ballots, because “once you give results, it’s easy to figure who voted for whom.” In his “rough descriptions” of the results Friday, Butler reported that although the graduate student vote was favorable, “faculty support was not strong.” He also stressed that his role in the decision was only advisory in a longer chain of decisions. The Speech Communications graduate program has about 108 students, about 40 of whom are black. “I’m convinced that the faculty vote [against Asante] was not made on racist grounds,” Butler said in an interview following his announcement of Asante’s reqppointment. He explained during his announcement that the decision to reappoint was made on academic grounds “after considering all aspects of the Speech Department.” Departmental unity “The growth of the department cannot be done with 100 percent involvement,” Butler told the group of mostly black student which was admitted to the room where Butler conferred with the department faculty during the afternoon. He asserted that Asante should not only hire faculty who will agree with him, and repeatedly emphasized the importance of settling differences within the department. Some of the students gathered with Butler and the department faculty in the small room at 4230 Ridge Lea appeared skeptical, despite assurances that the faculty was reconciled with Asante and determined to work together to improve the department. Several students criticized the faculty for its factionalism and a “lack of communication among the communicators.” Others urged that faculty members be replaced unless they are able to resume a working relationship with Asante. A faculty member, who asked that his name not be disclosed, said that although he had voted against reappointing Asante, he was still on good speaking terms with the department chairman and felt their work together in the future would benefit from the airing of differences of opinion. Different opinions The faculty member, like several of his colleagues who were questioned, refused to discuss any specific criticisms of Asante other than saying the chairman simply had a different opinion of how the department should be run. On Friday, Butler indicated that criticisms leveled by faculty who opposed Asanle's reappointment included lowering academic standards and not consulting with faculty on important matters. He did not elaborate, Thursday, Thursday in Watertown. Glass was known to many as “father of student politics in New State.” York SASU’s As Legislative Director, he lobbied for legislation favorable to students, and actively sought to improve the condition of SUNY students, especially in the areas of student rights, fees, and services. Glass’ death came as a monumental blow to those who knew and respected him, and for those in SASU with whom he worked. Credited with holding the organization together during some of its uncertain times, his presence will be sorely missed, according to SASU president Bob Kirkpatrick. A Ray Glass Fund has been by SASU, which, according to Kirkpatrick, will be “used to further the dreams he dedicated his life to.” In lieu of flowers, Glass’ family has requested that contributions be made to that fund. established Needless “I’m not sure how many people realized the family-type ties within this organization, but without exception, losing our brother so burden Hear 0 Israel— For gems from the JEWISH BIBLE Phone 875-4265 has needlessly almost impossible to bear,” Kirkpatrick said. “The world moves on, and we’ve got to tackle it head-on,” he added.

Much of the division within the department was differences and characterized as personal of who faculty on the ambitious oppotunism part saw themselves as Asante’s successor. One explanation of Butler’s initial support of the faculty vote against reappointment was that he valued the votes an; opinions of tenured faculty members over those of non-tenured faculty and graduate students. The Speech Coomunications Department separated from the Department of Speech-Pathology and Audiology at the beginning of the semester. The split was carried out without controversy, and was considered the result of planning by Asante. Another explanation of the faculty vote was that it was a reaction by those who opposed the departmental split. Another view is that the faculty vote was an expression of jealousy towards a young, popular and successful black scholar and administrator. Asante was often described by students as easy to work with and friendly. “He’s the kind of guy you don’t need to make an appointment with a week in advance,” said one graduate student. be closed of the Student Association of the State University (SASU) five years ago, died Sunday of injuries suffered in a car mishap last week.

It seems obvious only that when two sides have opposing points of view, the way they can come to some sort of reconciliation is by airing their differences openly and honestly. However, faculty Editor’s note: Paul Harvey is best known as a news analyst whose honest, straightforward thinking is focused on a wide range of human interests, including politics, philosophy, history, economics, literature and art. He is also a best-selling author.

I’d be interested in your analysis of this epidemic of assassination. I’ve heard Treasury Secretary William Simon’s. He blames the news media for limelighting these goofballs. This kind of attention being “glamorized” by getting their pictures on the front pages and on the covers of magazines says Simon, “makes nuts into celebrities.” He says that the personal publicity which he has been getting has tripled the number of threats against his own life.

Today, in her late ’30’s, and a mother of two teenage boys, the President of the Millard Fillmore College (MFC) Student Association is an outstanding student who will receive her degree in Philosophy this year and then go on to seek training in Student Affairs Counseling. A widow, a mother, and a full-time employee of the telephone company, Phyllis underwent a good deal of soul-searching before returning to school. She had attended Buffalo State College as a major in Home Economics for two years, after graduating from high school before dropping out to get married. When her husband died in 1969, Phyllis first considered returning to school to complete her education. She considers this a major turning point in her life. “It as an adjustment time, but it helped preserve my sanity,” she said. Drafted She first decided to brave the wear and tear of student politics in 1973, while she was seeking financial aid. She went to see her advisor, and was told that MFC needed help. Phyllis has found her experience as MFC President “I’ve learned more here than I ever have very enriching. in any of-my classes,” she said, “and because of this, a lot of the things I’ve Jieard in my classes have become much more pertinent.” Phyllis feels women in student politics face special problems, but that in displaying a willingness to face these problems, they gain a certain amount of respect. “You have .to work a little harder to establish your credibility, but the women in student politics are probably the ones who will have the determination to make a place for themselves in the world,” she noted. She feels one of the main problems a woman in student politics faces, especially if she’s young, is • patronization. An oppressed minority Phyllis, who is also MFC’s representative tp the Student Association of the State University (SASU), said she is very happy with the way that organization treats the women in its ranks. On a state-wide level, however, she sees women as an oppressed minority. She feels there is a need for more women students, faculty and administrators, because being in the minority creates numerous problems for women in the University. “Many of us have no self-identity, and (we) have a tendency to let (ourselves) be molded, into a stereotype,” she said. “We’re doing a good deal in Buffalo,” she said, commenting on the fact that women lead three of the seven student governments and many of the campus organizations, such as the Jewish Student Union, New Public Interest Research Group and The York Spectrum. On the issue of Title IX, Phyllis feels the University could possibly be using a devise against women which was originally meant to protect them. “It’s time people were regarded as people rather than a sex,” she concluded. “It’s people that make up a University, and that’s how we should strive to treat each other.” SUNYdeclares 'Salute to Women’day 12:00 p.m. 1:00 p.m. Luncheon ($1.50), Fillmore Room Summary of Panels, Fillmore Room Tuesday, October 14: International Day Page eight .

The Chancellor of the State University of New York (SUNY) later declared Saturday, October 18, to be the official Women’s Day on all SUNY campuses. The University’s Salute to Women centers around equality in law, economic rights, family responsibilities, decision-making at all political levels, access to health care, support for the integration of cultural social, and women in economic, of the role of women development, and recognition international and world peace. in cooperation The Salute to Women includes a wide variety of workshops, discussions and presentations covering every aspect of women’s lives and their roles in the United States and the world. The sponsors of these programs include Women’s Studies College, UUAB, University Opera Studio, Student Association, Speakers Bureau, the Association of Women Law Students, Sisters of Sappho, and many of the academic departments. The Spectrum has joined these other campus organizations in commemorating International Women’s Year with the publication of this special 12-page supplement devoted to women. The University’s Salute to Women includes something for all of us, male and female alike. It will be remembered as a week of cultural, political, and spiritual growth, but most of all as a time when human beings are seeking to understand each other.

The groupie syndrome is a carnival mirror exaggeration of typical male-female relationships in the are by C .P. Farkas Music Editor The position of women in contemporary music has been, at best, prone. Any discussion of women’s role in music that neglects the patriarchal primacy of our society would be an invitation to folly and an exercise ringing with futility. Music reflects the attitudes and mores of the prevailing culture. Women have long worn and endured the the yoke of male oppression field of rock and popular music is no exception. — society. Examples of rock sexism are about as hard to locate as a bull elephant cavorting in a strawberry patch. The Rolling Stones have been prime contributors in keeping the patriarchy alive and well. A cursory glimpse of the Stones’ titles such as “Under My Thumb,” “Stray Cat Blues,” and “Stupid Girl” are enough to divulge their sexist content. Rock music has always been a male dominated enterprise. The essence and thrust of rock has Woman as nigger been the sexual hormonal Niagara John Lennon’s Beatle tune that characterizes the onset of “Run For Your life” was a classic puberty.

Girls and women and empathetic portrayal of the condition of women. Currently rock music is still heavily populated with firm pockets of patriarchal patriots. Jim Dandy and Black Oak Arkansas spearhead a rugged, male macho individualistic hogwash which they try to pawn off as some type of blood consciousness sexuality. It is nothing of the sort; rather it is a mish-mash of egocentric masculine power-tripping. Cosmetic tokenism The status of women in popular and rock music has been one of gross under-representation and tokenism. A quick survey of musicians discloses the fact that (sic) “sessionmen,” ipso facto, rarely tend to be women. If women are involved in any studio work, it usually is in some cosmetic or tangential task such as vocals. Record producers for all practical purposes are men. The mega-corporations which constitute the record industry are of composed overwhelmingly male executives. The pattern is nauseatingly evident. Women in contemporary and rock music work in a variety of genres. Linda Ronstadt and Bonnie Raitt are two of the best women song interpreters. Yet the vista of their musical expression is limited because they primarily record songs written by men and are produced by men. These are essentially the same limitations which have stunned the musical growth of folk singers Joan Baez and Judy Collins. most successful and talented of this elite is Joni Mitchell. Joni has fused her enormous songwriting abilities and her brilliant voice to create a musical muse which is as rare as it is beautiful. Talent and brick walls Carole King, a veteran of the changing musical landscape, has from impressive graduated songwriting to top flight recording artist. Witness her Tapestry Ip.

A crystal ball viewing of the future provides a sliver of in for a mini-renaissance optimism women’s music. If beat poetress Patti Smith’s debut album lives up to half of the advanced hype, it promises to be a minor milestone. The other bit of good news is that Laura Nyro is back in the recording studio. An album should be forthcoming shortly and if Laura can control her moodiness, the record should be a solid collection of quality musical statements. But if International Women’s Week is to mean anything besides hollow or an sloganeering equivalent to National Frozen Food Week, it should prompt us all to seriously re-examine the role of women in society. We must initiate revolutionary changes in ourselves in order to completely all the deadening purge stereotypes within us that were and are created and perpetuated by an oppressive patriarchal system. Only when we’ve decided to the patriarchal institutions, which chains our potential to relate and touch as humans, will women’s untapped abilities finally flow serenely and powerfully to immensely augment not only the musical universe, but the very fabrit of our lives. overturn Wednesday, 8 October 1975 . The Spectrum . Page nine �Commentary Men find that equal rights benefit everyone employers and supported by a vast and sophisticated ideology expressed suhtley in all areas of our culture, fosters conflict between women and men. This division weakens the ability of both to fight for their economic advancement. Likewise, in the South, where racism is harshest (except for Boston), white workers have a much lower standard of living than do white northern workers. When white men spend their time opposing the struggles of black people or women, they weaken their own fight for economic advances. The fastest and steadiest progress can be made only when all working people unite to win better wages and working conditions from the profits of the business owners, rather than from the wages of each other. The defense of all was strengthened when everyone united to build the trade unions, and only then were tremendous gains made. by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor While some men continue to ignore the women’s movement,’many are beginning to accept it, and some are actively supporting it. The reasons are probably varied, but men are recognizing that equal rights and opportunities for everyone means a better quality of life for all. Perhaps the clearest example of this is in the economic sphere. Women have been consistently denied equal job opportunities, equal pay, and full political and social rights on the basis of the false ideology of “women’s inferiority.” Most people would probably not express their reservations about women’s rights in this language. They argue that women don’t need better jobs or equal pay because the work they perform is not as essential; or that they don’t really need more money. Of course, many women are the sole bread-winners ‘Dustbin of history’ Today, there is mountains of evidence to of their family. disprove the belief in women’s “inferiority.” Despite the additional obstacles that society has constructed, Myths women have shown tremendous ability, growing Black, Puerto Rican and Native American and proven leadership in student participation, have women have been the most exploited since they the professions, arts, sciences, trade also been victims of the myth of “racial inferiority.” organizations, political organizations and While usually not verbalized publicly, these ideas are unions, industry, services, and sports. institutions often evident in one’s private conversations and Men who slander women’s progress and make behavior. movement, reveal According to Judy Edelman, a former staff crude jokes about the women’s thinking.

Along with the tremendous political changes that have taken place in Vietnam and Guinea-Bissau, women in those countries are now free of the rape and brutalization that characterized their life under colonialism. Women in Portugal now have increased opportunities for education. And in Cuba, the Soviet Union and other socialist countries, women enjoy the widest range of rights, opportunities, and protections. According to Edelman, women in the Soviet Union are guaranteed equal opportunities in job selection, and training, equal pay for equal work, are , MORE NOl . ,. Mol [equal PAY!

Additionally, half of all students in higher education are women, half of the Soviet workforce are women, and women account for over 70 percent of all doctors and almost 75 percent of all educators. Almost one-third of the elected representatives to the Supreme Soviet are women, they are 42 percent of local and regional Soviets, and one-half of all tfade unionists. These tremendous advances for women, Edelman believes, are the result of a more human socialism. political, economic and social system She concludes that only the united participation of both men and women in the progressive movements can win a better life for all people. — ? for good women really Amendment Rights Is Equal by Sheila Kaplan Special to The Spectrum There’s an ongoing battle between those who want women and men to have equal rights under the law and those who don’t. Surprisingly, this battle is not between women and men, but between women and women. “Equality of rights, under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any other State on account of sex.” This is the proposed Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), twenty-five words which provide that sex will not be a factor in determining the legal rights of and women and which recognize the individuality of men every human being. The ERA is not new. It was introduced to Congress in 1923, and collected dust until the burgeoning women’s liberation movement brought attention to it in the early seventies. The amendment passed enthusiastically by both houses of Congress, and to date, needs only to be ratified by four more states to become law. But in the past year, opposition to the ERA has been growing. The women’s rights movement was shocked to learn that their staunchest enemies were not men, but an anti-ERA Wake-up, Operation other women. organization with 100,000 active supporters, says it is trying to protect women from the ERA, which it feels could destroy the family. Arguments against The president of the Buffalo chapter of Operation Wake-up, Mary Ann Sanscrainte, feels the ERA is unnecessary. “It will not add one benefit to women in areas of human rights.

Sanscrainte also cited the possibility of unisex bathrooms, co-ed sports teams, female draftees, homosexual marriages, and repeal of alimony laws. Arguments Pat Yungbluth, president of the Buffalo Chapter of National Organization of Women condemned Operation Wake-up for “using scare tactics, much-told stories of unisex bathrooms, homosexual marriages and legalized rape which are simply ridiculous and untrue to misinform the public.” Yungbluth stated the reasons for the ERA. “The existing laws can be changed at any time with a conservative lobby. The ERA is the only thing that protects the rights we have. Without the amendment, all of the progressive laws that have been enacted these past few years could be repealed at the whim of the Legislature,” she explained. As with most constitutional amendments, the ERA does not specify what laws will be enacted and which will be repealed. According to Yungbluth, “when a law is restrictive, it will be struck from the books. If it is protective, it will be extended to include men.” The ERA would, for example, make it possible for widowers to receive the same Social Security benefits now received by widows; alimony would be awarded according to ability to pay (thus making it possible for men as well as women to receive alimony); and women would be able t< \ Page ten .

Unequal protection The allegation put forth by Operation Wake-up that the ERA is unnecessary, adding nothing to women’s rights, is a distortion of the truth, ERA advocates maintain Although women can get equal pay through the 1964 Civil Rights Act, and the 1972 Employment Opportunity Act, these acts fail to cover women in small companies which don’t have federal contracts and don't deal in interstate commerce. In addition, under current laws, the burden of proof is a woman feels she has been discriminated against, she becomes involved in a long and tedious process in court, and even if she wins, it is only one individual victory. The ERA would place the burden of proof on the state, and provide basic constitutional protection for everyone. Under the ERA, state-supported schools would be required to admit students and distribute scholarship funds without regard to sex. Employment, pay and promotion would also have to be based on factors other than sex. Women would be subject to jury service and military service under the same circumstances as men. Women with children in their personal care would be excused, just as men are. A woman volunteering for military service will have to be admitted under the same standards as men. Presently, according to the Citizen’s Advisory Council on the Status of Women, they have to meet higher standards. On November 4, voters will gb to the polls to determine whether or not the Equal Rights Amendment will be added to the New York State Constitution. Yungbluth feels one of the best things about the amendment is that it will go into effect on January 1, on the individual. If 1976. �by Amy Dunkin Editor-in-Chief Traditional American Striving for identity women in history history paints a very pristine picture of the women’s role. While it has given us a few wholesome heroines, like Betsy Ross and Florence Nightingale, mostly it tells about the good wives, mothers, and sisters who stayed in the home while their men went out to fight the wars, earn the bread, and build the country. (women’s] history has become an “Our anecdote, thrown in for amusement between the lengthy descriptions; 6f men’s accomplishments. Morison’s Oxford History of the American People, for example, gives the women’s suffrage movement a scant few sentences under i section on ‘Bootlegging and other sports’,” says Debby Woodroofe in her article, “American Feminism, 1848-1920.” Too many men and women still believe that the women’s liberation movement is a 20th century phenomenon, an offshoot of the Vietnam war protests and anti-racist sturggles which arose in the 1960’s. The political climate of those years certainly did its share to heighten the awareness of women against all forms of injustice. But women throughout our history were fighting for freedom from bondage, the right to organize, for protective legislation, decent wages, and equal opportunities way before the United States even heard of Indochina. The notion that a woman’s place is in the home” is merely a myth that history would have us believe. “ Sojourner Truth Early activism The founding members of the women’s rights movement were active in the struggle to abolish slavery, in the early 1800’s. In fact, two black women, Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth, were among the most courageous and militant resisters of oppression of women and slaves. Born a slave, Harriet Tubman was only 14 when she first helped a slave escape. After fleeing to the North at the age of 29, Tubman continually risked her life to free her people in the South, leading over 300 slaves to the North and Canada on the “underground railroad” and staging armed attacks on Confederate troops during the Civil War. The slaves referred to her as “Moses.” The slaveowners put a price of $40,000 on her head. Sojourner Truth worked over 40 years for an end to slavery. As she traveled throughout the North organizing anti-slavery associations, she had to stand up to reactionaries who tried to silence her both because she was black and because she was a woman. "That man over there say that a woman needs to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helped me into carriages, or over mud puddles, or And ain 7 / a woman? gives me a best place “Look at my arm.

And ain 7 / a woman? ... ... “I have horned thirteen children and seen them most all sold into slavery. And when I breid out with And ain’t a mother’s grief, none but Jesus heard I a woman 7 ... ’’ Sojourner Truth Speech before the Women’s Rights Convention at Akron, Ohio in 1851 Factory women Concurrent with the flourishing of slavery in the South was the development of industry in the North. The new class of factory owners depended on women to operate their power looms, spinning jennies, and other machines. Needless to say, working conditions were unsafe and intolerable and women workers were paid pittance for over 60 hours of work a week. The first all-woman strike of factory workers took place in December 1828 in a Dover, New Hampshire cotton mill, when 300-400 women walked off their jobs to demand the right to form a union. Names like Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott are usually mentioned just in passing, if at all, in history textbooks. Yet these women were the "foremothers” of American history, advocating militant tactics in the struggle for women’s rights and suffrage. It was Mott and Stanton who, in 1848. organized the first women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York. The convention, which launched the suffrage movement, attracted over 300 men and women from a fifty mile radius. Stanton described it as “the first organized protest against the iryustice which had brooded for ages over the character and destiny of half the race.” In addition to adopting a list of demands, which included equal access to education and the professions, legal rights in marriage, the right to own property, initiate court suits, and control one’s wages, participants in the conference drafted one of the most famous documents in American feminism. The Declaration of Sentiments, modeled after the Declaration of Independence, expressed the same claim for basic and inalienable rights. “The history Of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, having in direct'object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her,” it stated. Some progress The mid-1800’s was a period of expanding consciousness of the part of women. This was accompanied by increased educational opportunities (Oberlin College, the first to admit women, graduated it$ first female in 1841 and many of the “Seven Sisters” colleges opened during this period), involvement in social reform, and the realiziation that a woman’s existence could be independent ol her husband’s. Stanton, Anthony, and Lucy Stone continued to lead the fight for women’s suffrage in the form ot a proposed amendment to the Constitution up until the early 1900’s, despite hostility and outrage on the part of many men and women and a split in the suffrage movement itself. In 1869, two opposing groups were formed. The American Woman’s Suffrage Association (AWSA). centered in Boston and headed by Henry Ward Beecher, Lucy Stone and Julia Ward Howe (author of the Battle Hymn of the Republic) sought to delay the fight for a woman’s suffrage amendment until black suffrage was passed. The National Woman’s Suffrage Association (NWSA), based in New York and led by Anthony and Stanton, excluded men from its membership, and devoted its energies to getting a 16th amendment enfranchising women. The National saw woman’s rights as a broad question involving “the emancipation from all political, industrial, social and - religious subjection,” according to Anthony. Their newspaper. The Revolution, attacked all forms ot discrimination against women. The NWSA was also the first group to challenge the family institution. “Marriage has always been a one-sided matter, resting most unequally on the sexes. By it man gains all; woman loses all; tyrant law and lust reign supreme with him; meek submission and ready obedience alone benefit her . . . Woman has never been thought of other than as a piece of property, to be disposed of at the will and pleasure of man,”- said Anthony. She herself chose to remain single in her lifetime. Support for suffrage The first victories for women’s suffrage werewon in Wyoming and Utah in 1890 while they were still territories. Colorado and Idaho followed in 1893 and 1896, but between 1896 and 1910, no. other states accepted suffrage. In 1890, however, the AWSA and NWSA resolved their 20 year breach and reunited as the National American Woman’s Suffrage Association (NAWSA). Contrary to belief, the women’s suffrage movement was not strictly a middle-class struggle, but was equally supported by working women. On March 8, 1908, for example, women garment workers marched through New York City’s lower East Side protesting sweatship conditions and demanding the vote. This day was later proclaimed International Women’s Day by German socialist Clara Zetkin. The 19th amendment for women’s suffrage was finally passed in 1920, terminating over 70 years and generations three of ardent fighting. With materialization of their long-awaited victory, the NAWSA changed its name to the League of Women Voters and began encouraging women to register and educating them about candidates. The Woman’s Party also campaigned for further legal rights for women, especially their right to guardianship of their children. And now Meanwhile, throughout the 20th century, working women have continually participated in protests and strikes for protective laws, higher wages, improving job Conditions, and reducing work hours. The 1960’s and I970’s have added many more demands to the list, such as child care, abortion, equal access to jobs, and equal pay. Additionally, women have fought alongside men on many political and social issues. The new women’s liberation movement has inspired a deeper awareness and radicalization among women. But that is not to say characteristics did not exist among that these women in the past. Textbook history has tended to focus on the achievements of men, relegating the woman’s place to one of secondary importance. Yet on the contrary, women have played a just as active and important role in history as men and it is the responsibility of concerned, educated people to reread history the way it really happened. note: Most of the historical information in this article was taken from "American Feminism 1848-1920" by Debby Woodroofe and What Have Women Done, A Photo Essay on Working Women in the United States by the San Francisco Women’s History Group.

By this we mean that women have historically been denied the power to control our own is oppression Women’s lives. institutionalized through structures of employment, the family, mass media, the educational system, mental institutions, religion, homes for the aged, prisons, health care, and welfare. These institutions serve to lock women into socially powerless roles, to instill in us the values that justify and support the dominant power realtionships in our society, and to penalize us when we do not stay in our places. It is not simply a matter of discrimination against individuals. Our oppression is social in nature; the conditions that cause it are societal conditions and women are oppressed as a Editor’s note: The following statement is a position paper of Women ’s Studies College (WSC) regarding tyke issue of all-women's classes in its cupieutuirt It wa* written by the Publicity Committeeof the College and presents an alternative opinion to the one expressed by Colleges Dean Irving Spitzberg in the Thursday, September 25th issue of the Reporter. WSC will hold a rally on Wednesday, October 15, to elaborate further on these issues. ' Five of the courses in Women’s Studies College’s (WSC) 20-30 course curriculum are all-women’s classes. The State University at Buffalo’is now challenging the existence of these classes; President Robert Ketter has stated that the current semester is the last time they will be offered for women only. This document explains why the all-female classes are integral to the program of Women’s Studies College | why the administration is challenging them, and why their rentention does nof violate, but rather fulfills, the spirit of the law. the background All-women’s classes are an integral and indispensible part of a program that has received nationwide recognition for its contribution to the growing body of knowledge in women’s studies and the women’s movement. Through our research and practice during the past five years, WSC has determined that women-only classes constitute an effective mode for combatting discrimination and enabling women to participate fully in this society. If the University is sincere in its group. Women-only classes: • r-H > 03 Oh C/5 <L> C/5 commitment to meaningful education for women, such classes must be preserved. In the Fall of 1974, when the existence of our single-sex classes was threatened by the administration, women students fought for their continuation. The College held rallies, instituted a petition drive that collected more than 4000 signatures, and held meetings with the administration. As a result of this pressure, Ketter approved the selective use of all women’s classes when it could be proved that their remaining for women only was essential to their educational purpose. This was to be demonstrated through regular academic channels. Throughout the Spring of 1975, we worked to provide the required educational rationales for the five courses being offered to women only. When they were explained to the Curriculum Committee of the Division of Undergraduate Education, all overwhelmingly courses were five “Women in These courses are approved. Contemporary Society,” (in both day school and Millard Fillmore versions), “Women in Photography,” “Art Studio,” and “Women’s Automotive Course.” Since June 1975, the administration has attempted to rescind its original acceptance of this selective use of single-sex classes. During the summer, while most students and faculty were away, the administration issued an ultimatum that we eliminate women-only classes by August 15th or be closed down. Although that deadline was lifted with the help of widespread support both on and off campus, we now face a new deadline and a new ultimatum. Their present position is based on the allegation that WSC’s five all-women’s classes are not in compliance with the sex discrimination law as delineated in Title IX regulations. We have seen from the administration’s actions that its concern for ending discrimination has not extended CO i Page fourteen * Institutionalized oppression leads to imbalances of power between men and women based on social and economic inequities. Class society not only creates the conditions for the different social realities of men and women, but places different social and economic values on them. Historically, men’s experiences are recognized, while the experiences of women are negated. For example, men are expected to be the breadwinners, women to bear and raise the children and maintain a household. Only the former is considered a “job,” with the financial and social compensation earned by “work” in our devaluation of society. The repeated women’s experiences is so deep-rooted that most people, men and women alike, neither recognize nor understand the social not extended beyond WSC to the rest of the University..Moreover, there The University has perpetuated these inequities in its neglect of women’s life realities, past and present. Traditional education ignores the serious study of the challenges It neither women. stereotyped images of women, nor analyzes the contradiction between these images and reality. This neglect of women in strengthens the curriculum implicity dominant cultural view of women as passive, dependent, unintelleclual and unable to analyze our position in society. Education has not taught women the fulness of our history and culture. It has not taught women the skills necessary for a critical understanding of how society operates. And it has not taught women to transform our consciousness into a creative cultural force. Traditional education does not provide an analysis of society that acknowledges the totality of human experience, because it excludes the realities of women, working-class, gay and third world peoples. We must therefore create forms of education to redress the effects of past oppression, to meet our needs as women, and, thereby, to enhance the full participation of all people in society. All-women’s classes WSC’s five classes for women only are directly aimed at the neglected' realities of women, and the need to develop a social analysis that encompasses the diversity of womcp’s lives. It is imperative to recognize that the five all-women’s classes grew out of our practice. In our research and study, in our teaching experience, and in the course of running a college committed to finding the root causes of women’s oppression, we have learned that it is counter-productive to grant, men equal access to these five courses. beyond WDC to the rest of the University.

The Spectrum Wednesday, 8 October 1975 . . development of social analyses of these experiences, and the barriers to fulfilling goals for change in a sexist society. By contrast, we have found that those courses whose subject matter makes the students’ own historical experience less central are less likely to be impeded by the presence of male students. The history and practice of 213/214, “Women in Contemporary fullness of our history and culture. It has not taught women the skills educational goals and The limited male 'participation. fundamental goal of this course is to connect women’s personal experience with the social context and historical roots from which it develops. Our past experience indicates that this integration is obstructed in coed classes. The subject of rape is one graphic illustration of how this happens. In the bontext of a women’s class, it is possible to move from the discussion of the personal meaning of rape (ranging from actual experience to the pervasive fear many women harbor) to an analysis of the social origins and significance of the phenomenon of rape. When treated in mixed classes, by contrast, the subject aroused defensiveness on the part of men, and reticence on the part of women. It proved difficult to move past the “rap session” to serious social and intellectual considerations. There are two basic and related aspects, then, to our rationale for limited male participation. Men have little to contribute to the exploration of women’s life realities because they have not experienced them. Secondly, male presence in a class focused on women’s experiences has destructive effects. It leads, at best, to a lot of defensive, unproductive argument about the nature of women’s experiences and, at worst, to the silence of women. We must recognize that sexist power relations and the stereotypes born of them exist in society at large. These are recreated in the classroom to the detriment of an educational process designed to redress the effects of this facet of women’s oppression. Both the form and the content of certain classes are inhibited by a male that reproduces the power presence differential between men and women in our society. We have seen this in hierarchical and competitive forms of interaction that are detrimental to women’s participation. Our practice is further supported by a growing body of scholarly sociological and psychological research that explores the pervasiveness of sexist power relations in group interaction. In general, these studies find that women perform more effectively in an all-female mixed environment. context than Reverse discrimination We understand that many people who are sincerely committed to the elimination of sex discrimination feel that all-women’s classes constitute reverse discrimination against men. They consider it ironic that a group dedicated, as we are, to ending sexism, practice should such discrimination. We maintain that reverse discrimination cannot and does not exist in this society. “Reverse discrimination” as a the institutionalized concept negates of women, third word, oppression working-class and gay people. It implies that our society allows for equal and quality access economically and to women socially, politically, but that sometimes it makes a few mistakes. Hence, discrimination against women. To follow this argument, then, “mistakes” may be made in the reverse (against men). Hence, reverse discrimination. In fact, sex discrimination in our society has not been applied randomly sometimes striking women, sometimes men. Discrimination on the basis of sex historically has meant discrimination gainst women, and legislation prohibiting sex discrimination is intended to benefit women. The notion of discrimination describes a situation where a group is excluded from power or privilege. It can be — meaningly practiced, therefore, only by groups that possess social power or privilege. Even when legislation is enacted to redress the historic oppression of women and third world people, that does not mean that these people gain control of social institutions. At best, they win increased potential; they do not secure power Affirmativeaction In recent years, through the efforts of movements, Third World and women’s have been action programs affirmative instituted to compensate for past and oppression within institutions corporations ihat receive federal funds. discrimination on The law that the basis of sex is Statute 1681. Title IX of the Education Act of 1972, which prohibits sex discrimination in education, specifically allows for the development of affirmative action programs, doing so in the spirit of ending discrimination against women. Section 86.3 (b) states: Affirmative Action. In the absence of prior activity, a “ recipient may take affirmative action to overcome the effects of conditions which resulted is limited participation therein by persons of a particular sex. This section conditions exist that in the limit women’s participation dominant society and that it is permissible to set up programs that attempt to change the conditions themselves, as well as the effects of these conditions. The statement does not place any limits on what may be done, nor does it define what is acknowledges that appropriate. The spirit of Title IX is to end discrimination against women. The way that it attempts to do this is to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, to require remedial action, and to suggest affirmative action. Evidence that the intent of Title IX is to work for the benefit of women is found in the Women’s Educational Equity Act of 1974; “The Congress hereby finds and declares that educational programs in the United States (including its possessions), as previously conducted, are frequently inequitable as such programs relate to women and frequently limit the full participation of all individuals in America.” (Sec. 408 [b) (1J) and “It is the purpose of this section to provide educational equity for women in the U.S.” (Sec. 408 [bl [2]). This clearly indicates that Congress, the body, recognizes that it is who have been discriminated against in education.' It also indicates that something can and should be done for women. Affirmative action can be implemented in a number of ways, but not all of these ways will work for real change in the education of women. One view of affirmative action involves the possibility of opening . existing institutions to women with no provision for changing these institutions to meet women’s needs. For example, at Yale, a legislative women sex-segregated university, traditionally undergraduate women were first admitted six years ago. Now, women undergraduates have realized that “access” to an essentially unaltered educational structure does not provide them with a quality education, one that will help them understand their own situation, and they are demanding a women’s studies program. History has shown that posting a sign stating tuat “women are admitted” without changing the education that takes place behind that door, does not mean that an educational institution has changed qualitatively to redress past discrimination against women. Those who have' argued against women-only classes have not offered educational arguments, or have even stated that equal access has nothing to do with the content of courses. We think that this does violence to the idea of education itself. If “access” is reduced to an arithmetical or geographical concept, then equity to education cannot be achieved. It is for these reasons that we must take broader steps in order for real affirmative action to occur. All-women’s classes are the product of this broader view of affirmative action. It has been proved through the practice of Women’s Studies College that they foster a climate in which women’s social realities can play a creative part in shaping the form and content of institutions. The atmosphere of an all-women’s class enables women to develop a critical analysis of women’s the positions in society, as well leadership skills that allow women full participation in their education and that ultimately make it possible to apply what they learn to all aspects of their lives. & �Women’s sports: can society ever accept it? advised by Jay Clark Staff Writer violence, Spectrum “A bright woman is caught in a double bind. In testing and in other achievement-oriented situations, she worries not only about failure, but also about success. If she fails, she is not living up to her own standards of performance; if she succeeds, she is not living up to societal expectations about the female role.” No where is this quote, by Martina Horner, president of Radcliffe College, more applicable than in sports. Although Title IX and other legislation designed to equalize men’s and women’s sports has helped, society still has a long way to go before it can completely accept the female athlete. In the early 1900’s, women’s sports flourished. There were extensive programs in basketball, tennis, swimming and other sports. Men’s and women’s basketball teams often played doubleheaders first the women’s team, then the men’s. In 1923, a national committee was formed to investigate doubleheaders. The committee, headed by Mrs. Herbert Hoover, was shocked to discover that the women wore athletic costumes while performing in front of men. They recommended that it be stopped, and state after state followed their advice by abolishing women’s sports, or making them “more ladylike.” - Too fragile During the Thirties and Forties, women were considered too fragile for athletic competition. In 1931-32, the Delta State University women’s basketball team had three forwards and three guards. The forwards were confined to one half of the court, the guards to the other. The team played seven-minute quarters, and the players were only allowed to bounce the ball twice at a time when dribbling. The following year, the team was abolished because the sport was too “strenuous” for ladies. Marie Therese Eyquem, a French physical educator, in an address to the International Congress on the Physical Education of Girls and Women in 1949, stated that, “Woman is destined by nature for maternity,” and ... women to give up sports “which might cause or repercussions upon her internal organism,” such as catch, football, bicycling, racing and sluing. As the feminist movement began to grow, women realized they weren’t as delicate as they were told, and they began to disprove some of society’s myths about women and sports. When people argued that violent sports might damage a woman’s child-bearing organs, feminists pointed out that the uterus is one of the most shock-resistent organs in the body, and that athletic women, on the average, have a shorter period of labor and few cesarean sections than non-athletic womep. Bulging muscles? Girls who worried that participation in sports would lead to bulging muscles were told that because women have more body fat and secrete less androgen than men, they are less likely to develop bulding muscles. Opponents also said that girls’ sports didn’t attract many fans, and therefore wasn’t worth the investment. However, they we e quickly told that the Iowa State Girl’s High School Basketball Championship in the Veteran’s Memorial Auditorium in Des Moines invariably sold out. During the five-day tournament, as many as 85,000 people watched the girls play. Another five to six million people watch the' games on television. Wayne Cooley, chief executive of the Iowa girls program, stated, “There is no reason why girls’ events can’t draw well if they are intelligently staged.” Title IX In 1972, Congress passed the Education Amendments Act. Title IX of the act, which covers 16,000 public schools and 2700 colleges, decreed that schools must provide the funds necessary to insure equal opportunity for women who wish to participate in sports. Although it didn’t specify that schools must match the men’s and w'omen’s programs dollar for dollar, Title IX drew strong protests for the traditionalists in the sports world, like one official from the National Collegiate Athletic Association, who feared that it “may well signal the end of intercollegiate athletic programs as we have known them in recent decades.” Women’s sports enjoyed a boom year in 1973. Inspired by professional athletes, such as "tennis great Billie Jean King and amateur stars like gymnast Olga Korbut, girls all over the country became interested in sports for the first time. Although Title IX wasn’t scheduled to go into effect until 1975, many colleges increased funds for women’s athletic programs dramatically in response to the increased demands. Is nothing sacred? Even the Little League, once the hallowed ground of little boys only, got into the act when a New Jersey court ordered the Ridgefield Boys Athletic Organization to allow 11-year old shortstop, Frences Descatore, to play. Letting girls play in the Little League caused more furor than the burning of the bras a few years eariier. “It just wouldn’t be proper for coaches to pat girls on the rear end the way they naturally do boys,"’ said Creighton Hale, president of the Little League. “And suppose a girl gets hurt on the leg? Why, that’s just not some grown man rubbing a little girl’s going to go over — leg.” Although some attitudes have changed, most female athletes still have to put up with the notion that they’re not as good as their male counterparts, or that they’re not feminine, or that boys won’t like them. A woman athlete, in order to win, has to overcome not only her opponent, but herself as well, because society has made her believe that she shouldn’t win. Jack Griffin, an Olympic coach who has worked with both sexes, believes that women have at least one advantage over men. “Any girl or woman who is very much involved in athletics tends to have an extraordinary amount of desire, not only to excel in her sport, but to excel as a person. It is so common with girls that we tend to overlook it, accepting it as normal. I suppose that in a sense it is normal for them. The way things are in this country, any girl who perseveres in sport has to be not only an exceptional athlete, but an exceptional human being.” The saga of the American housewife by Linda Muller As little as 15 years ago, a housewife a woman who was married to her house. Her duties ranged from feeding the dog and the goldfish to making sure everything was neat and in order because that was the thing a woman was supposed to do. As soon as the wedding band was slipped on her finger, she became the sole property of her husband. She was expected to present him with three to four children, the first being born within the first year of marriage, and of course, that child was to be a boy. The was father’s namesake. The wife was not expected to hold down a job outside of the home 24-hour-a-day because her fulltime job was taking care of the house and raising the children. The husband acted as the supervisor. Her fringe benefits were dish-pan hands, rough elbows and califlower ears. The ears probably the gruelling resulted from conversations at Martha’s house during the coffee clotch.

I am not his property, and he is not mine. We are sharing our lives together and that’s what it’s all plans 2. sex transfer 3. fight for equal rights. Thank God the majority of women choose option 3. Now if a woman decides she wants the kind of life that’s fine, well, aforementioned, because she chooses it to be that way. But, on the other hand, if it’s not someone else’s cup of tea, they have the right to seek a different lifestyle. A few examples are in order. 1) It is no longer a standard procedure to “turnout” a child after the first year of marriage, and also the number of children being born has declined. Four years ago, the cry was at two” now it’s “stop zero-population growth. 2) Couples are waiting to have children. They are interested in learning about themselves as individuals and also as partners in marriage. When they believe the time is right they plan their family together. I would like to use myself to illustrate this point. My husband and I have been married four years and we have no children yet. In the beginning of our marriage, we decided that travel and education were our utmost considerations. These things — A woman can make of her marriage what she wants, and what her husband wants. Roles and standard beliefs of the past are being changed. It is not a freak site to see a husband helping with chores, cooking and shopping. It is also common practice for a woman to have a job outsfde the home. Husbands are realizing that being a father is a lot more than the act of conception. They are helping to bring up their children rather than over-viewing their biological - growth. Marriage need not be a stale and degrading institution. It can be a time of self-growth and understanding. exciting and Marriage has many challenging possibilities. Again, I would like to use myself as an example. I view myself as having many distinct components in my makeup. To name a few, I am: 1) woman; 2) wife; 3) 4) student; lover; 5) cook; 6) 8) accountant; philosopher; 7) economist; 9) consumer; 10) arbitrator / and many more. More important, 1 am me, the person 1 want to be. I am not chained or strangled by marriage. 1 am free to grow I , t K • about. In closing, each one of us has the power to decide what is right and what is wrong for our personal well-being. We have the potential to be what we want. We have the power and the strength to shape our lives and to achieve those goals that we established for ourselves. We must be brave to take the challenge. As Shakespeare said, “To be, or not to be; that is the question.” 8 Qctpber 1975 . The Spectrum . Page fifteen 1 �Journalism takes on new look by Terry Koler Spectrum Staff Writer traditionally male-oriented field of journalism has tended to stick by the axioms that no “girl” can tell it like Walter Cronkite or write it like Seymour Hirsch. Female reporters were generally assigned to “women’s features” and midday news shows, while their male counterparts covered the hardcore news. However, things have begun to change in the news world and women whose reporting abilities were once limited to interviewing the President’s wife are now interviewing the President himself. Shana Alexander, a former columnist for Newsweek now writes special commentaries in magazines across the nation. Melba Tolliver started as a lowly secretary in the front office of Channel 7 Eyewitness News in New York City. Today she is the associate producer for Eyewitness News as well as the weekend anchorwoman. And of course there’s Barbara Walters whose acid tongue has made her one of the most coveted and controversial figures in the industry. The , Professionalism Although there has been noticeable progress, women are still working hard to persuade their bosses that they can cope with any story as well as the men. Professionalism and indignation forced 37 female employees of the Washington Post’s editorial staff to present the editors with a the daily four-page statement accusing of discrimination Washington newspapers in against women. They objected to the placement of stories about women’s rights on the women’s page “dumping ground.” They also charged Washington newspaper editors with denying many assignments to female reporters simply because of their sex, without even considering their competency. Time magazine was also the target of accusations of blatant discrimination by female staff members. The tnagazine at first denied the charges, but subsequently corrected the situation. When a motorcycle gang was terrorizing a New York community in early seventies, Lucille Rich of WCBS-TV in New York City insisted on the assignment, despite strong taking protestations by the news director. Her perseverance, however, turned into one “hell of a top notch reporting job,” as the news director later observed. Now she is assigned storied on a no-questions asked basis. In Newark, New Jersey, Gloria Rojas waded into the middle of a fist fight on a picket line. In the Watts area of Los Angeles, Gail Christian roams the rat-infested tenements. In New York, Pia Lindstrom burroughs through a pitch dark subway interviewing passengers trapped by a power failure. In Honolulu, Hawaii, Linda Coble delves into the doings of the local mobsters. Tough Other women journalists were working as much as 20 years ago to be the best in the business. In 1953, NBC assigned Pauline Frederick to cover events occuring at the United Nations, a very prestigious role for a woman reporter. “It’s just another step in the acceptance of women,” she commented at the time. Jane Howard spent six years trying to get first article published in Life Magazine . After her her initial publication, all of her subsequent stories were published. Elizabeth Brenner Drew worked out of Washington. In a year and a half, she established a reputation of solid reporting on everything from public housing to auto safety. Her tools: a serious mind and diligent research to make up the the lack of breaks. Betsy Halstead was the first reporter to witness and photograph a B-52 raid during the Vietnam War. She was also the first to interview the mayor of Danang after former Premier Ky called him a Communist and erroneously announced that he fled the city. Many news editors today admit that women reporters have certain advantages over their male colleagues. “Women can be equally aggressive but they also have a sympathetic quality and an ability to get right to the human angle,” a Detroit news director boasted. Connie Chung of Washington’s WTTG put the woman reporter’s point of view into its proper perspective: “I hate fashion stories. Give me a tear-gas rock throwing riot anytime.” Attitudes toward Middle East women conservative husband’s consent, add if she does violate this right, she is not entitled to financial support. by Fredda Cohen Feature Editor The status of women is changing slowly in the Middle East. Yet despite numerous reforms in the urban areas, most Moslem women must submit to their husbands’ every whim. In fact, religious men have no choice but to dominate “their” women. The Koran explicitly states: “As for those from whom you fear disobedience admonish and banish them to beds apart and beat them.” Women’s joles vary widely in different parts of the Middle East. The most liberated women are those that live in the urban areas, receiving the best and highest education. Women who lead a tribal existence are much more limited in their daily practices. The most extreme examples of oppression are found in peninsular Arabia, parts of the Sudan, and other desert locations where tradition is highly revered. Women live in seclusion, under the “ten prohibitons of menstruation,” which forbid the rights to pray, fast, circumambulate holy places, read or touch the Koran, go near the mosque, freely have sexual contacts, or divorce. Husband’s exclusive rights These desert women are usually veiled and heavily gowned, although no where in the Koran is it stated that women must be veiled. While Western culture has greatly influenced Egypt, the Koran still is held as the highest source of law regarding family relations. The majority attitude toward yeomen in public and private life still remains fairly conservative, claims Safia Mohsen, Assistant Professor at the State University of New York at Binghamton. The marriage contract grants the husband exclusive rights over his wife’s sexual activities, while he is permitted to have as many as four wives. The right of obedience belongs only to the husband. A woman * may leave her without her house husband’s permission only to visit immediate relatives. She is prohibited from working or going to school without her Page sixteen reason In Egypt, custody of the children is given to the mother until they reach a set age, usually seven for boys and nine for girls. After this time, custody is granted to the father, regardless of the childrens’ best interest or father’s ability. Despite the restrictive pages of the Koran, women’s rights have increased somewhat, and this development can be traced to as early as 1873, when Rifa’s El Tahtawi, an Egyptian woman, pressed for the education of women. - — Development of women’s rights The movement was further strengthened when Qasim home. Amin, author of The New Woman argued for the removal of the veil because it degraded women. He also insisted on Long way to go In Turkey, women and men may inherit equally, but the separation of religious and secular life, with legal women usually forfeit their share.

The Spectrum Wednesday, 8 October 1975 . . “I divorce thee” In cases of divorce, the husband need only say, “1 divorce thee,” in the presence of a witness. Within a period of three months, during which a woman cannot remarry, he can take her back. A woman must obtain a court decision to divorce her husband, and the legal grounds that are prescribed to obtain the divorce are steep. One of these provisions is “absence of husband for more than a year without good By the late 1950’s, higher education was accepted by middle and upper class families. “At the present time, attitudes are not too different from those of the 50’s,” writes Mohsen. “It is true that university education has become an acceptable pattern for gainful women in Egypt. It is also true that work employment for women has also been accepted because of the increase in the cost of living, which requires the cooperation of husband and wife to support a family.” Men, however, tend to seek uneducated women -s marriage partners, she contends. Marriages are usually “arranged” in the more traditional families, but this practice is being slightly altered among liberal families, where the choice is given to both the men and women involved. In Lebanon, most of the Moslem population live in rural villages. They are mainly monogamous and live in nuclear homes. Education is compulsory for all people up to the age of sixteen, and many women work in the health-related fields outside of their own villages. However, when the woman returns home, she is cast away from her husband’s social life. Her salary is handed over to her husband, and she strictly adheres to the code of modesty in receiving strangers who might enter her �Erie County Penitentiary The grim reality of women in prisons: It makes you hard ’ ‘ by Dana Dubbs Staff Writer Spectrum “Prison makes you hard. It makes you not want to trust anybody. You see who’s your friends and who’s not your friends. You find out who cares by the visits and the mail.” For some, these words are part of a vague idea of what prison is all about. For others, like Debbie, who spent six months in the Erie County Penitentiary followed by seven months in the Raybrook these Center, Rehabilitation words are part of a grim reality. According to Debbie (not her real name), “You wake up at six, eat breakfast, and lockup till eight. Then you clean, shower, eat lunch at eleven-thiry, then lockup again for rest hour. Then there’s shifts, you’re unlocked for dinner, and after dinner you’re locked in the cellblock.” The American prison system as we know it was begun in the early nineteenth century in New York who believed in by men “reformation.” However, it was not until the 1920’s that women’s prisons were created, also as a reform measure. A sentenced woman was thought to be a disgrace, for she had violated the moral and social code of her sex. This attitude is still reflected today by the fact that in many states, women sentenced under discriminatory statutes are given longer sentences than men. to women is prostitution Many people believe that it is harder for a woman to adjust to prison than a man. The psychological needs of men and women are very different. Men in prison often worry about the inability to support their families, and the effects of a criminal record on future job seeking efforts. Prison families A woman, on the other hand, suffers more from the separation family and the from her roles. This is of familial disruption reflected by the way family situations are created inside “Families” women’s prisons. consist of mothers, fathers, grandmothers, brothers, sisters, etc. The “family” provides an emotional, economic, and social support for the woman in prison. Homosexual relationships also provide support for women, and alleviate depersonalization. A woman confined to a unisex environment still has all the feelings, emotions, and needs she had on the outside. In prison, the life becomes more intense and the and affection need for identification is much greater. Utilizing inmate labor, many prisons have become multi-million dollar piofiteers. Clothing for patients in state hospitals and state schools, road signs, license plates, state park benches and tables are a few of the products made by inmates who, in many prisons, receive no pay at all.

The Spectrum . Page seventeen ’ �Hollywood adding more realism in the motion picture industry by Randi Schnur Arts Editor “Whores, quasi-whores, jilted mistresses, emotional cripples, drunks. Daffy ingenues, Lolitas, kooks, sex-starved spinsters, psychotics. Icebergs, zombies, and ballbreakers. That’s what little girls of the sixties and seventies are made of.” ‘“Nowadays, Hollywood has an incredibility problem,’ the New York Times suggested not long ago. ‘There isn’t a young romantic star unreal enough to thrill us, just a rotating stock of earthbound boys and girls who are no longer required to have their noses bobbed, their teeth fixed, or lifts put in their shoes’.” If the wish for a return to the “romance” of the star system implied in the words of the Time's criticquoted above by Marjorie Rosen in her recent volume Popcorn Venus: Women, Movies and the and sinde the American Dream is to be accepted observations of Village Voice critic Molly Haskell which here precede that wish (written down, incidentally, by a woman) cannot easily be discounted then our first question must be: “What, indeed, is reality? — - — — (1936) ; — — - — At home with the boys What does the Pacino of Scarecrow need with a woman having skipped out on at least one already while he’s got Gene Hackman to protect him? Even Jack Nicholson fares far better and seems infinitely more satisfied showing off his store of carnal knowledge to Art Garfunkel than in the company of any more “appropriate” partner. Hollywood women, on the other hand, are only occasionally allowed to turn their backs on the American dream of home, husband, and harebrains in favor of a more personal dream. Even when they can witness again, Burstyn’s Alice they are allowed “fulfillment” only in the arms of yet another man, even if he is the eminently sensitive and artistic Kris Kristofferson. It is certainly ironic that, after years of that “mammary worship” which, however unconsciously, glorified the image of woman-as-lifegiver the more life she looked like she could give, the faster men’s we should emerge into a heads swiveled around more “enlightened” decade to find our heroines - — Woman — — was created from the rib of man She was not made from his head to top him nor from his feet'— to be trampled on - She was made from his sid» to be equal to him from under his arm to be protected by him from near his heart to be loved by him. — - — A non yntous Page eighteen . The Spectrum . Wednesday, 8 October 1975 perhaps the ideal screen relationship? intelligent roles for women in contemporary movies are about as common as theatres currently running Scenes from a Marriage: we suspect that they must be around somewhere, but they’re damned difficult to find. To quote Haskell once again: “When 'female softness, sensitivity, passivity were qualities' exaulted in the post-Brando hero and in the rock/anti-war ethic of the counterculture, it did not bring about a corresponding exaultalion of woman, but, on the contrary, a diminution of her role as the new movie hero appropriated her qualities without losing his place at the center of the stage.” The new “hero” can make himself every bit as acceptable acting the little-boy-lost who doesn’t quite know yet what to do with a woman, as in the role of the macho superman who is past needing to know. (In fact, the same actor often alternates between variations of the two sometimes even a during one movie, as Al Pacino does in Serpico practice unheard-of while star-system stratification was in effect. — Separate realities If it is something painful and ugly, then Gena Rowlands’ pathetic breakdown in A Woman Under the Influence exemplifies it; if it is thin, tenuous, and more than a little bit sentimental, then> Ellen Burstyn lives there in Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore or could it be hidden under the squeaky-clean coiffures of the kookily ball-breaking quasi-whores of Shampool (God, no!) Really — — actualizing their lives by the grace of the newly feminized male. Once upon a time ... Perhaps the only £ra of American film history in which women as shown on screen were really “free” allowed to be both sexual (as opposed strongly opposed to merely “sexy”) and intelligent came during the early thirties, after the advent of sound gave them the opportunity to speak their minds and before the Hays Office’s Production Code cancelled out much of the content of those minds. The women of vintage comedies, the Dietrich immortalized by Josef von Sternberg, Jean Harlow, and even Mae West during this period, could afford to be aggressive without risking any slurs on their femininity. Their screen personae truly are, according to Molly Haskell’s invaluable and very readable From Reverence to Rape: The Treatment of Women in the Movies, “so immensely secure in their sexual identities and in the aura of mutual attractiveness that they can afford to play with their roles, reverse them, stray, with the confidence of being able to return to home base.” (This ability would seem to require an equal amount of confidence on the part of their male leads, a sexual self-knowledge different from the forcible appropriation of all sorts of characteristics a pretty aggressive act in itself by the modern actor eager to push women off the screen altogether.) Rumor has it that a special clause in Barbra Streisand’s Columbia contract prohibits the studio from pairing her with any but the most unarguable gorgeous of leading men. Hard to imagine a superstar with that kind of foresight playing around with anything, isn’t it? Even women producers come up with projects like The Sting (an entirely masculine conception all the wky through) and the forthcoming Fear of Flying (hardly the feminist epic it might have been). Female directors seldom offer much more to their actresses than do their male counterparts and those actresses are truly the niggers of the film - - — — - - — industry. �Th$ real problems To the Editor. Those who think that any one side benefited from the recent teachers strike in New York City, obviously have not bothered to look beyond the superficial aspects of the problem, falling instead into the trap of prejudice against the striking public employees exhibited by The New York Times. Perhaps Buffalo isn’t the most appropriate forum from which to discuss the New York City public school system, but New York’s system is indicative of most urban school systems in the United States. The Spectrum's recent editorial on the New York strike contained glaring exaggerations and misinterpretations which serve only to obscure the real problems faced by New York and other cities: It»m: The UFT did not strike for higher salaries, unlike most of the nation’s teachers who walked out this, September (including those in the Buffalo area). Rather, the UFT sought to retain what few adequate teaching conditions have been left after constant financial crises. As it is, with the $30 million in unpaid striking teachers’ salaries saved by the city, a large riumber of teachers who these were laid off may now be re-hired constitute such “peripheral” supportive staff as special ed instructors for handicapped and retarded children, guidance counselors, and school crossing guards (on the first day of school some children were injured at Queens intersection where there had last year been guards to direct them across the street). If the teachers were striking only for money, then why, for the first time in three strikes, did large numbers of parents of schoolchildren join and even initiate picketing at many schools? Item: Class size was one of the more prominent issues, but few realize how really central an issue it is. One teacher I know had 45 students in her first-grade class on the first day of school - before the strike began. Teachers in other schools have encountered similar situations, with students having to sit on radiators and bookshelves. How large were your classes when you were in elementary school? A class of such a large sizt isn’t the system exactly conducive to “education” becomes more of a baby-sitting service. Item; The 90 minutes per week cut from class time in order to maintain teacher prep periods won’t really have such a great impact on the “education” of New York’s children. Anyone can realize that recent years have seen inflation in the form of less class time for the same or more credits, a situation encountered here at our own University. Besides that, teachers need prep periods in order to fulfill time-consuming administrative chores such as making up lesson plans, grading tests, entering information into student files, — preparing bulletin boards, etc. If New York’s teachers have lost their ideal of providing quality education it is not due to any they, like their financial aspirations on their part students have been backed into a corner -by the - financial squeeze, by poor administration on the part of the local community school boards (exemplified in the past by large-scale graft and petty politics in local school board elections) and finally, by poorly directed priorities so as to remedy such problems. All that the teachers have tried to do is retain what few semblances of “education" that still remain. In sum, no one benefited from the strike. Opinions such as those of The Spectrum, which the teachers’ “greed," serve only to distract attention from the real problems faced by the city, its schoolchildren and its teachers, and problems those similarly across the country which will come to fruition in the not-too-distant future if not resolved in the present. emphasize — Charles W Stoller UB Law. 1977 Football is not the answer To the Editor I was disturbed by reading Dave Rubin’s “The Bull Pen,” on Monday, October 6, in which he complained that this University should have an Intercollegiate Football team. There are two ways to deal wit,h his statement: one is a monetary problem# and the'other as a philosophical question. In terms of pure dollars, Mr. Rubin is correct describing the intense interest in Intermural Football. Due to the obvious lack of funds, priorities have to be determined as to where the money should go. It seems much more logical to have 500 students playing intermurals, than ,'0 playing varsity Mr. Rubin also claims that a football team would greatly enhance school spirit, and bring in good publicity for the school. If his idea of building school spirit is by cheering on eleven people trying to kill another eleven, 1 feel sad for his capacity to help improve the “human condition." 1, for one, would rather publicize this University based on its ability to produce students whose abilities and achievements made the world a better place to live, and not on a game which represents a system of aggression and imperalism. Marly Schwartz Ex- Varsity Swimming The wizard's fantasy To the Editor Well, Buffalo sports fans, David J. (Juk) Rubin has done it again. In his fantasy world, the Denver Bronco’s beat the Buffalo Bills this past Sunday. This drops them to 0-3 for the season. I think I am now beginning to understand why he says some of the things he does. You see a Reuben is a sandwich in which sauerkraut plays an important part in making. We all know what sauerkraut does to a person after eating. Well David Rubin is an obvious fart and talks out of his ass so the similarity is amazing. When prediction time is near, he must be high on smoking ground up old N.Y. Jet Superbowl ticket stubs. 1 mean, 1 didn’t know Atlanta or New Orleans were in the AFC Central Division. I thought they were in the WFC. But, of course, if a know-it-all New Yorker says they are, it must be. Boy, does he ever know his football. Finally, it must be nice to be able to have the last word in when someone writes a letter to the editor. I am referring to the note following my last letter which stated O.J. Simpson said the Jets were the team to beat in the AFC Fast. Several Buffalo announcers mentioned the same thing, but put it into perspective. He sayd that about every team every week. It must be nice to drea »i David Eenksa JSU events contributing editor to Commentary To the Editor Himmelfarb, 29, there was an article in The Spectrum by Faith Prince covering the speech by Flie Wiesel. In the article Ms. Prince failed to mention that Wiesel’s appearance was Mr. co-sponsored by the Jewish Student Union (JSU) This year we plan to sponsor such speakers as Midge Decter, author of Liberal Parents, Radical Children, Cynthia Ozick, author and frequent contributor to Commentary and Esquire and many other known magazines, and Lucy Davidovich, author of War Against The Jews. We will also be continuing our film senes, which will start on Oct. 22, with the film Sandra Magazine. On Monday, Sept. and the Student Association Speakers Bureau. Flie Wiesel is just one of the many speakers that the JSU brings in during the year. In the past we have sponsored speakers like Rabbi Meir Kahane founder of the Jewish Defense League and Milton — Steven M. Laub, President Jewish Student Union Female chauvinists To the Editor There is always an element of sexism wherever males and females converge, but when the source of it is from my sisters, it incites me more than a group of (dare I say it), male chauvinist pigs. The incident 1 am referring to is the current crisis between Colleges Dean Irving Spitzberg and Women’s Studies College. In the Sept. 29 issue of The Spectrum, it was reported that a statement was issued in draft form a week prior to publication in the Reporter by Spitzberg to members of WSC, warning that it was in great danger of being terminated at the end of this semester if the guarantee against future discriminatory practices are not met. Members of WSC feel “all-women courses are a redress for past discrimination against women in society and that they are not being used as reverse discrimination against men! No matter how I look at that statement, I have to interpret it as an “eye for an eye” type assertion. WSC drew up a seven-page criticism (in conjunction with American Studies Dept.) of Spitzberg’s statement which was published in the Reporter. WSC, according to The Spectrum “were not prepared to release details of their criticisms at press time,” It seems to me that WSC is trying desperately to find ways to “explain” their the University discriminatory actions so that community will tend to sympathize with them which is probably the reason they have taken so long to reply to Spitzberg’s statement. If this issue must turn into an encounter - Invitation to a soccer game between those of us who favor open attitudes and opinions with all women and mankind and those who feel they must be set aside, alienated, placed in shells, whatever, in order to discuss, analyze and probe the physical, psychical and spiritual attributes of one particular sex, I must urge you, females, to see that supporting this discriminatory practice would only serve to hold back your progression, just as men have held back their progression for so long by partaking in similar practices. I also must urge you would not you, men, not to delude yourselves be aiding the Women’s Cause by supporting this To the Editor The last several years has seen a widening of the gap between students and athletics at our University. We think we have something to offer the University and the Buffalo community. Our hope is to play quality soccer and to entertain an appreciative crowd. You’d probably really enjoy yourself watching us play. So come on out to Rotary Field today at 2:45 p.m. and to our other home games, - reactionary rubbish. and see what you think about us. Thanks.

Wednesday, 8 October 1975 Staff Writer Despite a first place finish in the ECAC Qualifying Tournament last Friday, University of Buffalo Golf coach Bill Dando had mixed reactions about his team’s performance at the Colgate tournament “I’m not really satisfied with the team yet,” said Dando. “We’re still playing with some high scores.” Fortunately, in this tourney, the high score is dropped, so Greg Audzel’s 88 didn’t’count in the Bulls’ final total of 326. That score put Buffalo in a tie for first place with Cortland and R1T at the end of the match. Putting on a show The tournament was running close all the way between the three eventual winners, with each team trying to prevent elimination. The turning point of the match for the Bulls came on Mike Hirsch’s 40-foot birdie putt. “He made a fabulous downhill putt. If he didn’t make it we could have been out of it,” commented Dando. A par would have left Buffalo with a 237, one behind the leaders. This proved to be Hirsch’s best effort of the season, and, according to Dando, he did a great job. Championships next For the Bulls to do a great job in the ECAC championships at Doylestown, Pa. on the fifteenth, everyone will have to produce uniformly fine performances. Dando feels that the course at Doylestown is one of the toughest around. The long holes and fast greens must be considered the reasons for last year’s high scores, where a 78 was the tournament low. “If we shoot the way we’re capable of, we could finish first,” said Dando. The Bulls will have two more chances to ready themselves before the finals, with matches against St. John Fisher College and St. Bonaventure University later this week. Both matches will be played at the Audobon course, north of the Amherst Campus, �Niki Lauda ofFerrari places first at Watkins Glen Grand Prix with his car and was far behind the leaders. Lauda had no difficulty lapping his teammate, but Reggazzoni did his best to stop Fittipaldi from by David J. Rubin Sports Editor Twenty-six year-old Austrian Niki Lauda eased pole-to-pole victory last Sunday in the seventeenth annual United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen. Emerson Fittipaldi finished second in the 200-mile race, trailing Lauda by about five seconds. Jochen Mass, Fittipaldi’s teammate, was to a third. Lauda’s win capped an outstanding year of J racing for himself and for his Ferrari team. After disappointing performances in recent seasons, Ferrari scored six first places in the 1975 Grand Prix series of fourteen races. Five of the firsts were by Lauda, while the other was by his Swiss teammate Clay Reggazzoni. Lauda’s triumph here Formula was the first ever for Ferrari in the U.S. Lauda breaks jinx Lauda had already clinched the world championship by virtue of his third place performance in Italy last month, but by winning at Watkins Glen, the Austrian became the first man ever to win the U.S. Grand Prix and the world championship in the same year. His championship is the first for Ferrari since Jack Surtees won in 1964. Lauda was the odds on favorite going intcf the race mainly because his practice times were consistently among the fastest of all contenders. He went on to win the pole position with an average lap speed of 119.18 miles per hour, and Ferrari technicians were extremely pleased with the performance of his 3 1 2T. Lauda and Fittipaldi, who was the other driver in the first row, ran one-two for all 59 laps of the race, far ahead of any other contenders. Fittipaldi was just a scant second or two behind Lauda for the first 20 laps. But in the 21st lap, the twosome crawled up on Reggazzoni, who had earlier troubles getting by.. Fistcuffs in the pits While Fittipaldi struggled to find an opening, Lauda built up the thirteen-second lead which he had no difficulty maintaining until the end of the race. Meanwhile, Reggazzoni was flagged into the pit area, where officials then elected to let him complete the race despite having clearly interferred with Fittipaldi. A brief fight took place in the pits between Ferrari manager Luca Montezemolo and a race official, and Reggazzoni was allowed back onto the course, but malfunction caused him to withdraw from the race just a few laps later. Certainly one of the toughest breaks in the race was the continuing tragedy of Mario Andretti. Andretti was the fifth best qualifier and appeared to be set for a real try at becoming the first American to win the U.S. Grand Prix. But on lap 7 his suspension broke, and his day ended abruptly. The only tight battles in the race were for the third through sixth spots. When Jean-Pierre Japrier’s UOP Shadow broke down in the 22nd lap, four drivers were left to scramble for the vacated third position. James Hunt of England held it early, but midway through the second half of the race, German’s Jochen Mass overtook Hunt and managed to stay third the rest of the way. Mass’s third coupled with teammate Fittipaldi’s second made it an outstanding day for the McLoren team. Hunt fell back again, this time being passed by Sweden’s flashy Ronnie Peterson, but Hunt repassed Peterson in the final laps for fourth place. Jody Scheckter of South Africa threatened to move up all race long, but never did improve on his sixth place position. Baseball Bulls ease to victory by John H. Reiss Staff Writer Spectrum Taking a winning the toward big step Big Four baseball championship, the Buffalo Bulls crushed Buffalo State College in a doubleheader 6-1 and 18-3. Saturday Field, at Peelle The opener of the twin bill was highlighted by the near perfect John of the Bulls’ pitching Buszka. The strong southpaw did not allow a Bengal to reach base until the fourth inning (that due to an error) and did not yield a hit until he gave up a two strike single to Bob Grady, with two outs in the seventh and final inning. Grady golfed a low fastball into centerfield to drive in State's only run of the game. State had been able to get two men on base earlier in the inning on an error and a walk. Grady’s single then broke up Buska’s no-hitter and spoiled his shutout. Buszka ended the game by making State’s next batter his I 1th strike out victim. Commenting on his fateful pitch after the game, Buszka said, “It was a good pitch, a fastball low and inside. I was shocked when I saw the way he hit it. thought 1 had him.” But he confessed that 1 throwing Grady a fastball may have been a eight mistake. “I’d thrown and he was straight fastballs looking for one. 1 should have shown him a eurveball just to set him up ” Real good stuff When asked if he knew he was Buszka no-hitter, “Yeah, I knew it. chuckled. Nobody on the bench would exactly say it, they’d just kid about it but I knew 1 had it. 1 had real good stuff today. My control was good and 1 had everything I needed." The Bulls won the game in the first inning, A leadoff double by Rick Wolstenholme, an error, a walk to John Mineo, a single by Mike Dixon and two more errors lead the way for four runs. Buffalo completed its scoring with single runs in the fourth and sixth tossing a innings. If the Bulls made the Bengals look bad in the opener, they Big Four their humiliated counterparts in the nightcap. Statistics box Tennis at the ECAC Championships, Princeton, N.J., October 3-4.

That problem, according to Director Gene loli and Student Association (SA) Directbr of Academic Affairs Dave Shapiro, is student apathy^and unawareness of the importance of SCATE to the University community. SCATE stands for Student Course And Teacher Evaluation. It’s a program that was designed by SA to provide students with a means of evaluating their courses and teachers at the end of each semester. It also allows incoming students access to information about courses for which they plan to register. Students are badly needed to help organize this year’s SCATE program and participate in its development, loli held the first SCATE meeting on Monday, September 29, but only two students attended despite a half-page announcement in Monday’s issue of The Spectrum. loli said he received many calls from students complaining about Dave Shipro and Gene loli teachers and courses, yet only these two students took time to see what they could do about it. He advised students to answer the SCATE questionnaires which will be distributed in every class approximately three weeks before the end of this semester. Carefully prepared The questionnaire contains 39 base questions developed by Shapiro and last year’s Academic Affairs Coordinator Mark Humm. Additionally, each department or College can add its own questions and students can comment at length on the course and teacher in a special space designated at the end. According to Shapiro, student comments are among the most important features of SCATE because they provide a basis for a personal assessment of teachers and courses. SCATE results take a long time to process and require a great deal of work. These results are important not only for students, but for the departments and administration, which use them in determining such things as tenure and the competency of a teacher. If the evaluations show that certain teachers within a department are incompetent or unqualified to teach, the department head can take steps to remove those teachers, Shapiro said. By the same token, if the results show that a teacher is good, the evaluation will'aid that person in possible promotions. SCATE results from the Spring 1975 semester will be published in mid-November, prior to registration. These results will enable students tb look up the consensus evaluation of teachers and courses and help them decide if they still wish to take a particular course prior to registration. It actually provides students with mote information than they could get from a course description, loli noted.

The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), National Student Lobby (NSL) and the Democratic and Republican Parlies are among those involved in this effort. NYPIRG, which has been conducting the registration drive here has distributed approximately 1,000 absentee registration forms, and posted notice of the October 6 registration deadline date. Despite these efforts a great majority of students remain unregistered, according to Rich Sokolow, former Director of NYPIRG. Many students do not realize that by their failure to register, they are ineligible to vote in the Presidential and other party primaries in mid 1976, Sokolow said. Besides the various local county races, a state-sponsored Equal Rights Amendment is up for adoption. Approval of this amendment would mean immediate state-wide implementation of various Pilot projects If a substantial bloc of students vote, and are united behind specific issues, they could decisively affect local and national elections, said Frank Jackalone, a member of the NSL Board of Directors. The NSL is conducting pilot projects at various' universities around the country. These schools are chosen from key districts with large student populations where the outcome of local elections can be decisively determined by student ballots, Jackalone said. The NSL does not endorse candidates, he added, but rather compiles and publicizes the voting records of various Congressmen and local legislators. When a politician has had a negative attitude on student issues, the student vote can be effective in ousting him. The potential electoral influence of the nation’s 10,000,000 college students is enormous, Jackalone said. The Democratic and Republican Parties in Erie County have been conducting large scale registration drives of their own. The Democratic Party, employing. 2,000 inspectors, has already registered 37,000 voters in a three-day drive. Approximately 461,000 persons in Erie County are prsently registered to vote in the New York progressive Democrat who has represented the East side of Buffalo for nine years, expressed the opinion that student apathy is a direct result of aimless national leadership and a prostrate public attitude that has allowed special interests to run the primaries. country.

But without Sound Tech, concerts, speaker’s engagements and other “sound” events Kaen added that since Sound Tech people are skilled in their trade, the rates for similar services from private sound companies would run anywhere from $250-$2000 per concert. on could not take place. Sound Tech was originally set up in 1970 to provide sound reinforcement at University Union Activities Board (UUAB) coffeehouses, poetry readings and speaker presentations. Chairman Steve Kaen joined Sound Tech in 1972. With what was considered a relatively small amount of equipment, the group provided the amplification for small rock shows and beer blasts. The money they made from the campus shows enabled khe group to buy one large amplifier and two more loud speakers in 1974-75, Kaen said. The group has since been taking on larger jobs which require greater technical sophistication. Last summer, for instance, Sound Tech provided services for a Student Association (SA) concert with the 10-piece band “Equinox.” Dances featuring other groups were also set up during summer orientation. Budget fights Earlier this year, Kaen prepared a $29,000 budget which was initially rejected by Sub Board. Kaen managed to up Sub Board’s offer of $3500 to a final figure of about $7000. Most of the money was used to purchase a badly needed equalizer, which enables audio-technicians to use louder volumes without feedback, and a mixing board to mix sound. This equipment, along with a new amplifier and other supportive equipment (power cable and speaker cable) put a large dent in Sound Tech’s budget. Also expected to come out of the $7000 subsidy is the $2 an hour wage for the 14 workers in Sound Tech. This is one reason why Sound Tech has to charge for set-up and use of their equipment. Kaen does not believe that all Sound Tech’s services should be free. Sound Tech gives free sound for UUAB-sponsored events, but with projected expenses of $11,000 and a subsidy of only $7000, this cannot extend to all campus organizations. Charges Currently, Sound Tech charges an hourly rate based on the type of equipment being used, to cover depreciation and personnel charges. These charges may run from $30-$200. The $200 service, Kaen noted, would probably cost 60 percent more, or about $500, off-campus. “If a state funded organization requests sound or lights, they must contact us at least three weeks in advance due to the time it takes for a requisition to Kaen added. “We operate on a go first-come, first-serve basis,” he said. Sound Tech will also rent equipment from other companies which is not included in their inventory. Kaen attributed the “tremendous upsurge of sound-audio in general since 1970 to people replacing fancy cars with fancy stereos.” “Problems arise when inexperienced people come in to run an affair and only book the room for the time of the event, not allowing time for set-up,” Kaen said. This delays the event since the equipment cannot be moved in until showtime. Problems are further compounded because the equipment then has to be moved through a crowded room. Robert Klein One example cited by Kaen was the Robert concert. Sound Tech wanted to start setting-up at 3 p.m. However, a series of delays moved the time up to 6 p.m. This left two hours for a five-hourjob and no time to check the system. Consequently, the entire first act was delayed because of sound trouble. Sound Tech is currently developing an information package on areas such as the capabilities of sound and lighting, the rate structure, and how to plan an event. Most important, Kaen emphasized, is for a group planning an event to come to Sound Tech in advance so it can help with the plans. “People don't realize we are students, not professionals, and the learning experience is ours as well as theirs,” Kaen said. Klein Get your heads together. From one beer lover to another. by Paul Magiotto Staff Writer Spectrum The increase in bicycle riding has been accompanied by an increase in bicycle thefts. In 1974, 2,100 bicycles were stolen in the Buffalo area alone. The rate of disappearances this year is even greater, as 925 have already vanished in the first six months of 1975. The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYP1RG) recommends certain steps a bicycle owner can take to protect a bike from theft, and to increase the chances of it being returned if stolen. First, every bicycle owner should own and use a good lock and chain. NYPIRG has published a study on bicycle chains and cables to help decide which are the most economical and effective. NYP1RG concluded that chains are better than cables, and that chains with the highest resistance to tampering or cutting are the Master 94, Master 83, the American and the Teledyne. The Teledyne, though the strongest, is too short and bulky for maximum protection of wheels and frames. Effective locks For locks, NYPIRG suggests that the owher have a hardened shackle and a five-pyn tumbler key-operated mechanism. The most effective locking system available, according to NYPIRG, is the Citadel lock The Citadel lock is a U-shaped key lock which has withstood tampering with hammers, prybars, boltcutters and hacksaws in police tests. The lock is large enough to secure the rear wheel, frame and a quick-release front wheel to a post. The Buffalo Police offer a number of ways to register bicycle ownership. Though registration won’t necessarily deter a thief, the bike will have a 75 percent chance of being returned, according to the Study. Students at this University may register their bicycles at the Student Association Bike Compound adjacent to Lockwood Library. Nina Maberek, who has been working at the compound for three years, explained the system. Bike compound Students engrave their social security numbers on their bikes and fill out a registration form, she explained. This form is kept on file by Campus Security and forwarded to the Buffalo Police. The bicyclist is then given a license plate and a card which carries the same number. Anyone removing a licensed bike from the compound is asked to produce this card for proof of ownership. According to Haberek, anyone removing a bicycle that doesn’t bear a license plate is usually asked to produce an ID. card because it is assumed that a thief would not want to produce an I D., she explained. Another way to register a bike is through Western New York s Project Identification. According to David Sterner of Central Police Services, any possessions, including bicycles, can be brought to local shopping centers and schools at designated times, to be engraved with a serial number by the Police Department. This serial number is then kept on file by Central Police Services. Hundreds of recovered bicycles are auctioned off each year because there is no way of finding the owners, Sterner said. City ordinance Bikes may also be registered with local police precincts, which record the serial number of a bike and keep it on file, he added. A Buffalo City Ordinance requires that bikes be registered, and owners are subject to fines for failure to do so. Buffalo State College also has a guarded bicycle compound However, the College Campus Security has a unique method of deterring bicycle thieves, A security plainclothesman will ride a bike to an area on campus and leave it there; seemingly unattended. The bicycle is actually being watched by other security personnel, concealed in nearby bushes and buildings. When the thief makes his move, he is apprehended by Security. Buffalo State has advertised this program well to discourage any potential thief. Future proposition Presently an Erie County Registration Committee is working on a proposition for mandatory county-wide bicycle registration. This 18-member committee consists of representatives from Central Police Services, the Buffalo Police Department, Erie County Legislature, Erie County Attorney’s Office, area bike dealers and others. Sterner explained that each bike will be given an identifying number, which will be engraved on the bike. A numbered decal will also be placed in plain view. The cyclist will have to produce proof of ownership at an officer’s request, just like with an automobile. This identification number will be kept on file in Central Police Services, along with the bicycle size, manufacturer, color, serial number and other identification. Punishment for failure to register will depend on the local municipalities’ response to the idea. Monday, 6 October 1975 , The Spectrum .

Too old Facing a suite by Geraldine Cannon over 30 the University til Chicago admitted that it discouraged applicants over 30 who did not have advanced degrees. John Cannon. Mrs. Cannon's husband and an attorney, said that the school admissions policy not only discriminates against age hut against sex as well, since, after the most common child-bearing years, a woman wishing to return to medical school would be too old by most schools' standards. From one school. Cannon said, he received a letter flatly staling that his wile's application would have been rejected on the basis of age whether it came from a - There is now a special place for have 3 or more in your car you may park in you — Vie Spectrum (CPS) Browse through the catalog of a medical school, and you are likely to come across a line discouraging people over 26, 20 or some other age from applying. Call it discrimination or call it acceptable admissions policy; the fact is that at a time when as many as 40 people may compete for one medical school slot, someone over 30 with hopes of being a doctor will have a tough time realizing that goal. As one medical school administrator in California put it, an older applicant must “clearly show why we should take him over another applicant. Everything else being equal between two candidates, youth should weigh." Want to Change it?!

Their respective slates Massachusetts and Illinois have specific laws forbidding age discrimination. Many states do not. and there is no federal law dealing with age discrimination in education. The federal regulations of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare deal with civil rights concerning race, religion, national origin and sex. but not age. Nor does the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission deal with age grievances. The only 4th Meeting of the Student Affairs Task Force Wed. Oct. 8 at 4=00 pm - No precedent But there is a constitutional argument based on the principle of due process and the Fourteenth Amendment, which guarantees equal opportunity, contends Howard EglitVa law professor at Kent Law School in Chicago and an authority on the rights of the elderly. There is no judicial precedent, however, and Lglit concedes that “whether a court would but it is questionable.” But the rationale for age policies used by medical school administrators is “phony,” Lglit insists. The mainstay of that reasoning is that society will not get maximum service from an older student. Yearly medical school costs for one student are estimated at Si5.000. The student pays only a portion of the total amount: the maximum yearly tuition at a private medical school is about $5,000; at a state school, it costs the student much less. Tuition at the Slate University at Buffalo is S 1,600. In view of the high costs, students over 30 years are “a definite risk factor,” said Conrad Riley. Associate Dean for Admissions at the University of Colorado Medical School. “There is less time to serve." Riley said, “and older students are not as apt to slick with it. That is part of the economics of education." Dirty trick The University of Colorado has no set cut-off age, Riley said, hut it views applicants "with increasing caution as they go above 30." Out of a student body of 500. there were about live students admitted when they were 30 years or older, Riley said. Riley admitted there was discrimination of sorts. “The whole process of admission is a process of discrimination. You weigh academic ability, the ability to relate to patients. What do you do when so many people apply'.’ It you discriminate because of illogical things, that is a basis for a lawsuit. But if you discriminate on ability and staying potential, that is justifiable discrimination. There are so darn many excellent candidates who are younger that it would be a dirty trick on younger people to accept many older applicants.” For one school, the age policy may be formal. For another, it may be casual and "no big deal.” But in one form or another, age discrimination is practiced in medical school across the country. And these schools may soon find themselves in court faced with charges of discrimination.

Constitutional Amendments • federal law dealing with age discrimination is the Age Discrimination Act, enforced by the Department ot Labor, and that deals strictly with employment matters for people between the ages of 40 and 65. The U.S. Constitution provides little protection against age discrimination in education. The reasgning, speculated Bob Gillin, an attorney for the National Senior Citizens Law Center in Los Angeles, is that '“education is not a fundamental, constitutionally protected right.

Page five �Editorial Don't forget to register People between the ages of 18 and 25 have tremendous potential to affect the outcome of local, state and national elections. It is within this particular bloc of voters that lie the seeds of change because young people today tend to think more radically, to be more aware of the need for social, political and economic reform. For too long, our country has been governed primarily by a class of men who place their priorities in such areas as defense, intelligence, big business, and technology rather than welfare, education, free child and health care, and equal rights for minorities and women. Today is the final day to register for both the 1976 presidential primaries and the upcoming November election. Although considered an dff-year election, this November 4 will determine whether or not the state-sponsored Equal Rights Amendment is ratified by the voters. The Amendment will simply add 26 words to the New York State Constitution; "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the state of New York or any subdivision thereof on account of sex." This applies to insurance rates for men as well as previously neglected rights for women. If issues such as equal rights are important to you, it is your responsibility to exercise your voting power. If you have not already done so, pick up an absentee ballot application or voter registration form at the NYPIRG booth in the Norton Center lounge today. It is the duty of the nation's 10,000,000 college students to make their voice heard on election days. v An explanation is in order Some anonymous person or persons pulled a malicious prank on Friday morning and we feel the many concerned students who noticed that there were no issues of The Spectrum around that day deserve an explanation. 16,000 copies of The Spectrum were dropped off at their usual campus locations early Friday morning. Between the time they were distributed and the time classes began, 13,000 issues disappeared. Only 3,000 copies made their way into the hands of any readers. We at The Spectrum have absolutely no idea who would deliberately steal the papers or why. But we do know that tampering with the freedom to publish a someone newspaper at this University. That is the sad part. For those of you who are still interested in taking a look at the Friday, October 3rd issue, a few isolated copies may be obtained from The Spectrum office in Room 355 Norton Hall. And for the rest, all we can say is that we feel sorry that a thoughtless individual or group of individuals is denying you the right to a free student press.

I am pissed at myself for not remembering that there were good and valid reasons for what 1 was feeling, for not writing down somewhere a reminder of what it was that 1 wanted to do/had to do, for not following my instinct to curl up with a good book.

Monday, 6 October 1975 On Thursday. October 2. I worked at the election booth in Norton Hall for the Student Association. It was here that I learned the real maturity level of the average student "What? You’re going to punch a hole in my IT). card." he. she, it cried. At least 15 people did not vote because I would have spoiled the beautiful curves of then brand new Another I D. cards. I find myself disgusted that such bahies can call themselves adults possessing enough maturity to be deemed responsible citizens. Children like this deserve no rights to vote whatever, in any situation. Maybe the voting age should he raised to 25 so as to give an individual enough time to decide which is more important, a clean I.D. car or participatory democracy: Samuel M. Prince unfair election To the t'Jitor. 1 believe the election for College Council on Thursday. October 2. has been conducted unfairly. As a candidate residing in the Governors' Residence Hall. I am at a distinct disadvantage since my voting strength resides in Governors' Hall along with myself I feel this election should be declared invalid, and a re-vote is mandated by these circumstances. A list of witnesses has been submitted to the Student Association office and elections Committee. Floyd C. Seligman �Students have a right to eat To the h.Jitor * unemployment bureau in this state has encouraged people to return to school to upgrade their skills it is recognized that a vast number of people no longer have a place in the job market. When Senator Buckley talks of "voluntary" this is the worst kind of lie. As unemployment students we are all acutely aware that decent jobs do not exist for.us. We hope that by staying in school long enough we will qualify for something. The - This letter is in response to Senator Buckley’s pending legislation that would disqualify students from the Federal Food Stamp Program. The senator contends that students are voluntarily unemployed; that anyone who chooses not to work should not be permitted to remain in that state of sloth. I would imagine that the senator would further argue that by "giving away" food to these good for nothings, we are sustaining their existance in effect the government is encouraging laziness to the — - detriment of our great economy. To this argument I say bullshit 1 It is symptomatic of a capitalist economy to vastly underutilize the available productive forces. In this country the only period of full economic utilization has been in wartime. Presently, some 30 percent of the plant capacity in this country is standing idle and this is not due to lack of a work force. Some 8 percent [official figures?) of the work force is - unemployed. In addition, jillions have not even bothered work force because it is quite obvious that the necessary jobs simply do not exist. Students entering the make up a large sector < of this group. The government has long acknowledged the inability of our economic system to provide for full employment. The institution of social welfare is an inherent, a vital factor in maintaining the social and political stability of this country. Recently the honorable Senator proposes that we should starve for our decision to remain in school. Effectively, this legislation will make it tougher to stay in school, it will make an education forther out of reach for a large segment of the population ultimately these people will have to accept lower wages are wages than what they hoped. Viola! — — cheap labor for the senator and his many friends. But even this argument (the argument of the ruling class) will not hold water. An unemployed student or an unemployed worker n» new jobs kept low - - will be created just the fight over the few scraps will be more intense. What is important is that we recognize this threat to our status. There are thousands of students on this campus for whom food stamps are a vital part of their sustenance. We cannot passively let these events overcome us. Those interested in pursuing this matter in a concerted manner, please leave your name and number at the (ISA office.

An invitation to gay people To the Fditor I transferred to this University this semester, a school of 30,000 students, and expected to find a tremendous gay organization on campus. Alas! There is no such organization. That is not an organization the size of which 1 had anticipated. According to statistics, there should be about 2,000 gay students here. So why is it there is an average of 20 people at the Gay Liberation Front (GLF) meetings? The group is fortunate to have a very comfortable house in which to hold its meetings. The relaxing atmosphere is conducive to discussions and conversations which range from the planning of GLF activities, such as the dance held last Friday night in Norton Hall to discussions of what it is to be gay and how to deal with it. The meetings give gay people'a chance to meet others who have come to reali/e that it's not neaessary to live a pretentious life based on our society's archaic morals. Here's a chance fop students to break away from their studies for a few hours and let down their facades. Wanling to see more faces at our next meeting Monday, 8 p.m. at 264 Winspear.

In June. 1 inquired by phone at the University's Personnel Office if I was eligible as a former graduate assistant for unemployment benefits. I was told very boldly that under Title blah. blah. Article such and such. Paragraph so ahd so, I was not eligible lor unemployment benefits as a graduate student Period' I went ahead and filed anyway The people at the unemployment office were very helpful and sympathetic. Despite the fact that the departments where 1 had worked did not respond to their inquiries as to the amount ol my salary, they accepted my word and my paycheck stubs as proof of income and 1 started receiving benefits under Jerry l ord's-Special Unemployment Act. I his discrepancy between the Personnel Office amt the Unemployment Office aroused my curiosity so 1 paid a visit to the Personnel Office. 1 played dumb and asked it I was eligible lor unemployment benefits as a former graduate assistant The same cold voice, now personified in a well-dressed woman, recited the same litany with the same big period alter Paragraph so and so. When 1 challenged her on this, she sputtered that, ol course, I was eligible under the Special Unemployment Act (SUA) but this was federal, not stale money Before this challenge, no advice was offered 1 wonder how many graduate assistants missed out on benefits last summer as a result of this systematic withholding of information. final irony occurred today when 1 was informed that Albany had declared graduate assistants ineligible for Special Lmployment Act benefits, f rom the arguments that the Personnel Office used, the SUA money was not coming from the state coffers but from federal monies. How then can Albany deny graduate assistants benefits? I am confused and broke. Let’s organize a protest! Please call Jon at 886-1768 if you also have a no file file. 1 would like to hear from you.

Ask for Rabbi Greenberg �the bull pen by David J. Rubin Sports Editor Another fall season is passing by without intercollegiate football at Buffalo. Rotary Field’s stands remain empty and Saturday afternoons are as lazy as Sundays would be if the pros weren’t on TV. This school is missing something. Obviously, with dollars as scarce as they are, the Board of Trustees isn’t going, to suddenly say, “Gee, Buffalo should really have a football team. Let’s get it one for Christmas” (They don’t even believe in Santa Claus), and forget about Student Association (SA). SA doesn’t have enough money to buy a box seat at Rich Stadium. Yet somehow football is just something that belongs at a university right along side chem labs and Jimmy Breslin. If you’ll excuse the expression, football is part of “the college experience.” In places like Nebraska and Oklahoma, there are waiting lists for season tickets to college football games that extend to 1980. Schools like UCLA, Michigan State and Ohio State sometimes pack in more than 100,000 fans for a game. Football is a way of life. Now, I’ve never been the rah-rah “Let’s Go Buffalo” type, but I’m not unexcitable either, and I really think football could do a lot for this school. It doesn’t have to be a multi-million dollar program with computerized recruiting systems. It shouldn’t be. A localized limited schedule and cut-rate equipment and expense budgets might just be enough of a program to let Buffalo in on some of the widespread benefits which college football can make possible. The first of these benefits is exposure. Even on a local basis, the publicity which a football team draws is also publicity for the school. In the extreme case, ABC-TV does short half-time spots on its game-of-the-week about the schools which are competing that day. But there is more. Talk about ‘school spirit” is usually something which is confined to high school. Right now, though, Buffalo is a spiritless school. Fights over women’s studies and election irregularities are all that keep Buffalo from falling asleep. Football is not going to make everyone suddenly ecstatic about being here, but it might stir up a few cheers around campus. Friends and relatives of mine who were here during the days of Buffalo Bull football remember it fondly. There is no reason why the same fondness wouldn t resurface it football was reinstituted. Certainly there is interest. 64 teams and over 500 people are involved in intramural football, while many others were turned away. The Wizard of Odds remains one of the more popular features of The Spectrum and every so often a small group of students gets on a “bring back football” kick. But football can’t come back, at least, not right away. The money isn’t there, and the Athletic Department does not have a good enough reputation with student leaders to get it too soon. It would take an about face of finances and attitudes to start football up again, and that doesn’t look likely for a few years at least. , Sports Quiz Today’s quiz is designed to test your memory of the 1974 football season. First, here are the answers to last week’s questions.

Simpson (b) 183 yards by Otis Armstrong or (c) 153 yards by Calvin Hill. 2 What two teams shared the worst record in the NFL last year? Everyone recognizes Muhammad Ali in the 3 picture. But who is he fighting with? - - - Tennis Bulls beat Fredonia by Paige Miller Assistant Sports Editor The tennis Bulls keep bouncing along Tuesday, they wiped out Big Four foe Canisius 7-2. their only two losses coming by forfeit, since only five players were available for the match. Then, on Wednesday, they beat Fredonia 6-0 in a rain-shortened affair. With two victories this week, Buffalo’s record now stands at 7-0, and gives them a thirteen-game winning streak. The win over Canisius made in Big Four Buffalo 2-0 competition this year. Not counting the two forfeits, the Bulls have not lost a ppint yet to a Big Four school. Boardman shines win produced several impressive performances, but the most impressive was by Al Boardman. Although he does not regularly play singles, Boardman moved up into the fifth spot and shut out the Griffins Ray Witzleben. Boardman sal our last year, but The the year before he was one of Buffalo’s more consistent players, reeling off six wins in a row at one point. This year, he has seen and dropped down to sixth. Now, it seems that Carr ha's broken out of his slump in fact, in his last six sets, he has lost only four action mostly in doubles play, where he teams with Bill Cole. Against Canisius, he and Cole moved up from third to first doubles, and still handily defeated the Griffins’ best doubles combination. The Bulls’ success of late is also due to their great depth. The bottom of the lineup consisting of Rob C.urbacki, Lenny Gross, Pete Carr and Boardman, turned in better scores against Fredonia and Canisius than the top of the order did. This pattern has occurred regularly throughout the season so far. Gurbacki, last week’s Athlete of the Week, hits the ball hard and deep, with fair consistency. Gross usually stays on the baseline. Although this produces some very long matches, it has also given Gross Buffalo’s best singles record this year, 7-0. Lately, he has been improving his net game, too. Carr began the season at third singles, but ran into a bad slump games! - The Bulls still have a grueling week ahead. After returning from what may be their toughest match of the year, the ECAC Championships at Princeton over the weekend, they could be pretty tired. On Wednesday, they will travel to Brockport. A match against Rochester has been tentatively scheduled for this week, and the Bulls will conclude their season this weekend with the Big Four Championships.

Page nine �The irrepresible Casey Stengel is dead at 85 by John H. Reiss Staff Writer Spectrum Charles Dillon (Casey) Stengel, a baseball manager, player and clown for over fifty years died last Monday night at the age of 85. His death was mourned by millions of Americans who had learned to love the OT Professor. Stengel will be remembered most for his success as manager of the New York Yankees. In his twelve years on the job, the Yankees won ten pennants and seven World Series. He will also be remembered for his development Stengelese,” a highly of complicated form of double talk “ which he frequency. used with increasing Those who played under Stengel were particularly moved by his death. Yogi Berra, Stengel’s catcher throughout his years as Yankee shipper said, “Baseball has lost a great man.” “Casey was like a father to Statistics box Soccer at Brockport, October I, 1975.

Even Joe DiMaggio, who disagreed with many of Casey’s managerial techniques when he was a player, praised his ex-skipper, saying, “He was wonderful. He understood his players and he knew what to do with the talent he had.” Stengel broke into the major leagues as a Brooklyn Dodger in 1912. He played in Brooklyn’s Ebbetts Field for five years before he was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates Casey the comedian During his first few years as a player- he developed a reputation as a clubhouse prankster and practical joker and it was with the Pirates that he pulled what was probably his most famous stunt. Upon returning to Ebbets Field as a visiting player, he was greeted with boos and jeers by the hometown crowd as he came to bat. Stengel took a deep bow, lifted his cap, and a sparrow flew out from beneath it. He clearly had the last laugh on the Dodger fans. Casey was later to claim that if a player ever did that while he was the manager, he’d probably “fine his ears off.” Stengel eventually went on to play for the Phillies, the Giants (for whom he starred in the 1923 World Series), and the Braves. His lifetime average as a player was .284. Soon after his playing days in the majors ended, he pulled another one of his pranks. He had been hired as president, manager and right fielder of the Braves’ Worcester farm team. At the end of a trying season, he unveiled the most unique front office move ever: manager Stengel released player Stengel, president Stengel fired general manager Stengel, and Casey Stengel resigned as president. Between the years 1934 and 1948, the OP Professor managed both major and minor league clubs without success. He managed the Dodgers and Braves from 1934 to 1943 and never finished higher than fifth. But he got a big break in 1949 when at 58 years of age, he was asked to manage the Yankees. Record setter His first five years with the were the most successful for any manager in the history of the game. His Yankees won pepnants and World Series in each of those five years as they set a record for team consecutive World Championships. The confident Stengel even claimed that if the team didn’t win a sixth consecutive title, the manager should be fired. That year the Cleveland Indians woh an all time high 111 games and finished eight games in front of New York. Stengel was rehired. Casey’ then won pennants in 1955, ’56, ’57, ’58 and ’60 while copping two World Series flags. However, there was much talk that he was too old to continue managing and in a bizarre press conference at the end of the I960 season, Stengel announced, “I was told my services were no longer required.” It took him only two years to return to baseball, this time as manager of the hapless New York Mets in 1962. His fan appeal was very evident as his tenth place Mets outdrew the pennant winning Yankees in attendance from his second year as manager on.

Moore indicated that increased employee vigilence and more vigorous prosecution are part of a new anti-shoplifting effort. The present security system employs several part-time guards, a plain-clothes detective, and requires that customers place their books and possessions in cubby holes. The Bookstore management also considered using electronic security measures, which would require the attaching of magnetic lags to merchandise. This type of precaution is prevalent in Confronted with an increase Cooperation of student government, media urged by Laura Bartlett Campus Editor Student government and student media often work toward the same goals, and therefore should strive to keep their relationship a cooperative one whenever possible, according to Chip Berlet, a staff member of the nationally syndicated College Press Service. Berlet is also a former member of the student government at the University of Denver. Berlet explored the relationship between student press and government during a workshop at the Student Association of the State University’s (SASU) annual Media Conference in Albany, attended by representatives of many SUNY student newspapers. When internal squabbles and personality conflicts develop between student politicians and student journalists to the point that they oppose each other on most issues, “the administration stands back and smiles, because the students are at each others’ throats,” said Berlet. The same goal This is unfortunate, he added, because basically both the student government and student media have the same goal: “serving the best interests of the students.” Many of the participants in the workshop described difficulties they experienced with their student associations or publications boards. A representative from the State University College at New Paltz claimed that the situation at her school is especially bad. “Our paper is supposed to put ‘commentary’ or ‘editorial’ on anything that’s opinion,” she said, “but when our new constitution came up for referendum last year, the paper not only came out with an issue that had “Vote No for the New Constitution” all over it, but they came out with a separate newsletter on yellow paper denouncing it.” War! This government-media battle led to a series of events, she continued, which culminated in the student government throwing several thousand issues of the paper into a nearby river and the paper’s editorial board setting fire to the ballot box. When she mentioned that (he student government had considered freezing the paper’s funding, Berlet contended that such an action is not within its legal rights. “I can cite you at least a dozen legal cases where the court ruled in favor of the student paper," he said. Less direct forms of pressure sometimes exerted on student media by student governments, such as the removal of editors by communications boards, has led to unnecessary and undesirable conflict, he said. “By doing that, you are arrogating to yourself a power that denies your responsibilities,” he continued. Berlet stressed that the responsibility to serve the best interest of the students necessitates an independent press. —continued on page 2— many department stores However, magnetic have been found unfeasible for books. And since books make up 78 percent of the store’s sales volume, it would be both impractical and financially prohibitive to attach these tags to other items, Moore explained. tags The consequences Students apprehended for shoplifting are referred to the Student Judiciary, while incidents involving other members of the University community are turned over to the President’s office. The Buffalo Police Department is notified of offenders who are unconnected with the University. Last year nine shoplifting incidents involving students were brought before the Student Judiciary. Six were sanctioned as a result of these referrals. The sanction usually consists of a three to four month loss of bookstore privileges and a “stiff warning.” Repeat offenders run the risk of academic suspension. Although threat of prosecution deters some shoplifting, the most effective deterrent is “self imposed restraint on the part of the small minority of persons who do steal,” Moore said. Raises prices Shoplifting hurts everyone by indirectly causing prices to rise, he stated, adding that $40 thousand to S60 thousand in merchandise loss can easily eradicate the store's dim profit margin. To emphasize the seriousness of the problem, signs are posted around the store reminding customers that “shoplifting is stealing.” The irony of the situation, Moore said, “lies in the fact that the vast majority of shoplifters are basically honest people, who would curtail their activities if they truly realized the grave consequences of their actions.” Alternative education Special major programs successful Carrie Valient Spectrum Staff Writer The Special Major program at this University is a successful alternative programs, evaluation to traditional degree according to an of the program surveying students who graduated 1973 and January between January 1975. The survey was the recently completed by Undergraduate Division of Education (DUE). The purpose of the survey was to find how students with Special Major degrees fared in the job market and in graduate education. Former students were requested the to evaluate personally program in terms of whether it helped or hindered them in their future aspirations. significant majority of A percent) (85.5 respondents reacted positively toward the program, according to the survey, and the evaluation concluded that the respondents “praised the Major program for Special meeting particular needs and for providing an additional option in academic realizing and/or vocational goals.” Favorable reaction expressed commonly One opinion was that the decision to pursue a Special Major was looked favorably by prospective educational and employers institutions. A special major student in “Criminal Justice for Women” commented, “I found that in looking for a job, people were very interested to find out about my special major and regarded me as a special person for establishing my own program in college rather than following the traditional degree in a specific upon discipline.” “My employers considered that my seeking and working towards a 1 had to put degree which together showed a great deal of initiative and creativity,” a former Urban Studies major explained. One student described his Special Major in “Comparative Sociology” as “one of the greatest assets in the eyes of the graduate acceptance committee at the University of Michigan.” A few students indicated that program was a the Special major factor in the completion of their college degrees. “As 1 recall, during my sophomore year at UB, 1 was about to drop out of school,” explained an “Urban Education” major who later finished a Master of Science in Learning Disorders. “It was at that time I was given reference to the Special Major Program which provided me with a great deal.” was Only student one dissatisfied with his Special Major. majoring in enjoyed “1 Portuguese, but I found (the hard a BA degree is way) that worthless. 1 feel 1 wasted four years of time and money.” The survey found that 75.4 percent of the respondents were presently employed. Their job titles included: Senior Planner, Town of Amherst; Legislative Aide, City of Buffalo; Photograph Illustrator, Phoenix, Arizona; and Production Assistant, WNED. The also found that 40.6 survey percent of the former students working toward advanced Medicine, including degrees, Community Planning, Psychology, were Public Communications and Law. William Fritton, chairman of the Special Major Committee and Assistant to the Dean, pointed out that the program is “unique” to the State University at Buffalo. The program originated in the Faculty Senate in 1968 and was formally approved by the State University of New York Office of the Provost, on January 28, 1970. degrees The first Special were awarded in June, 1970. Requirements that a explained Fritton student seeking a special major must first find two faculty advisors of at least assistant professor rank to sponsor the which is submitted at the end of the junior year. “Each student structures his proposal, major,” Fritton said. However, the student must be to that his' justify ready coursework “is aimed at a certain educational intent.” A viable proposal is one which shows “a meaningful relationship between what the student says and what his concentration is,” he noted. Fritton indicated that initially, 20 percent of the proposals are not fully approved. However, most students resubmit their proposal in acceptable form. Less than 5 percent of the students who submit proposals don’t ultimately go through with them. Dorothy Wynne, DUE Director of Advisement, said the problem acceptance is proposal of “overstated.” She explained that advisors “try to point out the problems of having proposals accepted.” Wynne also spoke of the latest trends in Special Major proposals. “The proposals are more specific than they used to be. There is an emerging pattern of things related to environmental problems or some specific social problem.” the attributes Fritton popularity of the Special Major “the Program increasing to student drive for vocational relevancy in their majors. own . �Medical admissions chairman resigns Committee Rebuttal by Women’s Medical Admissions Committee chairman Luther Musselman has announced his resignation from that position, effective today.

I & 25) PROBLEM PREGNANCY? testimony currently before Senate * * ������������������������� �Determining factor? LSAT-review credibility by Anthony Schmitz Special to The Spectrum (CPS) — In a tangle of frayed serves and sweat-beaded brows, about 112,000 persons each year lock horns with the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). The fight is for one of an estimated 37.000 positions in law schools around the country, and for many the test will be-a major factor in determining whether they will be admitted to a school of their choice. A handful of companies around the country have found this nervous battlefield perfect territory to turn a profit. They offer courses designed to help students study for the tests and maximize their scores But administrators of the LSAT claim that the only significant difference is that persons taking these courses are anywhere from $85 to $225 poorer after the course Administrators claim that the LSAT measures “intelligence qualities that develop gradually and types of knowledge that one accumulates over a long period of time.” No evidence shows that a review course or book will help any more than studying the test guide provided with the $13 LSAT fee, administrators say. No real help There is “no evidence that the courses really help test scores, and if there is, we’ve never seen it,” according to Robert Wiltsey. program director of the law school tests. Persons in the review course business, however, claim that the LSAT administrators are only protecting their self interest by claiming that the review courses can’t help. Test administrators “have a vested interest in defending -the validity of the test as an accurate measure of ability,” said a spokesperson for the New Jersey-based Law School Admission Test Review Board, Inc. The spokesperson, who did not want to be identified, claimed that test scores can be improved by taking the course his firm offers as well as other review courses. The Review Board’s program offers a 20-hour course, taught by attorneys for $85. Actual results are difficult to pinpoint since only about 20 percent of those taking the course each year return a special card which asks what score they received on the 800-point test. The number of students taking the test each year is “confidential information.” The Review Board spokesperson claimed. however, that the LSAT administrators themselves say that test scores can be expected to increase by 35 or 40 points for persons taking the test a second time. The course offers pupils a chance to take the test in a simulated setting, he said, giving them a head start similar to taking the test once before. The success of review courses, the spokesperson claimed, spurred the recent addition of the sample test in the LSAT handbook. An eight-session program offered by Stanley Kaplan Education Center of New York for $225, advertises that “There is a difference!” But Kaplan explained that the claim' refers to the difference between his test preparation program and others. Course graduates receive an average score of 600, Kaplan claimed, while the overall mean for persons taking the test is 522. The mean score Kaplan cited was on a 20 percent non-random return of information cards handed out to persons taking the review course, and is not based on a scientific study. Wiltsey of the LSAT board pointed out that there is no way to tell what those students might have scored on the test if they hadn’t taken the review No lawsuits No fraud suits have been filed against any of the firms, according to both LSAT administrators and review course spokespersons. There “is no basis for a suit,” Kaplan said. “There are no guarantees, so what can you say'* But if we can’t help someone, no one can According to the Review Board spokesperson they have "never had a complaint," although some who have taken the course still didn’t earn high scores on the test. "But some people are stupid and will never do well on the test Some people just aren’t capable of scoring 700. Law school deans across the country are as reluctant as LSAT administrators to recommend the courses At the University of Kansas. Dean Martin Dickinson said he wasn't sure the review courses were worth the price of enrollment and doubted that any amount of cramming could help a student prepare for the test. The dean of the University of Minnesota Law School said that he advised two of his children who took the LSAT’s to study the booklet prepared by the LSAT administrators and ignore test review ” courses University Jewish Free LANGUAGE course - Reading Hebrew Time to be arranged Conversational Hebrew (Elementary) Thurs. 8:30 pm Conversational Yiddish Time to be arranged — — THOUGHT 81 PHILOSOPHY Maimonides Wed. 8:00 pm Tues. 8:00 pm Exploring the Meanings of TheMitzvot Chassidic Philosophy Time to be arranged Mon. 8:30 pm Weekly Bible (Torah) Portion — — — — LAWS & (Rabbi Greenberg) (Mrs. Greenberg) (Rabbi Greenberg) (Rabbi Greenberg) (Rabbi Gurary) (Rabbi Greenberg) (Mrs. Greenberg) CUSTOMS Women in Jewish Law Mon. 8:00 pm Laws of Kashruth (Yoreh Deah) Sun. 9:30 (Rabbi Greenberg) — 12 noon Tues. 8t Thurs. 9:00 10:00 pm Laws of Shabbos Daily 7—7:30 a.m. - - - (Rabbi Greenberg) (Rabbi Greenberg) TALMUD Time to be arranged Elementary Talmud (Baba Metzia) Intermediate Talmud (Baba Batra) Time to be arranged Advanced Talmud (Kiddushin) Thurs. 7:30 pm — — — CHALLAH BAKING TIME TO BE ARRANGED (Rabbi Greenberg) (Rabbi Greenberg) (Rabbi Greenberg) (Mrs. Horowitz) Sponsored by Chabad House Call 837-2320 or 833-8334 for details. Ask for Rabbi Greenberg Residential Colleges: minimal changes felt by Mike McGuire Contributing Editor “Life has not changed much since the days before the colleges were chartered," representatives of two residential Colleges told The Spectrum. Budgets have not increased despite hints that they might, and chartering has had little of the had effects on innovation and student morale that some critics envisioned, they said. Michael Wing, coordinator of Vico College, said the academic aspect of the program has continued to grow and now includes thirteen courses plus independent study. Forty regular University faculty are involved at one level or another, he said. Vico, a college devoted to studying the history and ideas of “Western Consciousness," houses about 85 or 90, in Wing’s estimation, in Building I of Fargo Quad in the Fllicott Complex. This is up from 25 students in residence last semester, when the residential program first began Cross listings While Wing believes the College will continue to grow, he doesn’t feel it will expand much beyond about 100-150 students. In contrast to some Colleges, Wing pointed out that Vico set up courses specifically aimed at getting departments to cross-list them. While College members realize that this will lower its own enrollment figures (as of September 23, only eight students had registered for Vico courses under the College’s listing), they believe it makes more sense to help students meet distribution and major requirements by cross-listing courses, said Wing. Vico came under fire during the chartering hearings for allegedly being "a Great Books program.” Wing, insisted that those charges were inaccurate since although Vico made use of pivotal works in “Western consciousness.” the program transcended a reliance on “Great Books.” Clifford Furnas College Wing also said some Vico students were not residents but still wished to become involved in the College’s activities, and the College is currently figuring out how to accommodate them. Clifford Furnas College (CFC) has grown considerably since chartering, according to a Resident Assistant (RA) and one College member. CFC, which attempts to integrate the natural sciences with the humanities, now occupies five buildings out of seven in Fargo Quad at Ellicott. The number of student members of CFC has grown from about 250 to over 400, according to Furnas resident Charlie Maron. While about 55 students signed up for CFC courses under the College’s listing this semester, Maron pointed out that most students register through departments in natural sciences and humanities that cross-list the courses. Many facilities According to Maron, RA Margie Ichel has been running a wide range of academic-residential programs. Faculty members have been invited to give seminars and to eat in the cateteria with students, and a one-to-one program has been started with local retarded children. The College maintains its own newspaper entitled Clifj Notes , as well as its own computer room with a terminal, a “supercalculator, art room, and “modest library.” Art Bartikofsky, another CFC RA, said all but a handful of the 400 or so students living with the College are actively involved with its activities. He added that there is a waiting list for students wanting to join the College at mid-year. Bartikofsky noted that Furnas was trying to set up programs for off-campus students, including Furnas “alumni” who have moved out of the dorms and students who have never been involved. One person, he said, is currently talking to University Housing about securing dorm space on selected weekends to accommodate off-campus students at CFC events. Chartering was mandated by the Faculty Senate’s Reichert Prospectus of 1974 for each of the thirteen colleges then in existence. College Z (Law and Society College), disbanded rather than submit a charter, but its courses were later taken over by the College of Urban Studies.

Wednesday, 1 October 1975 . - uu �As job competition intensifies, men challenge Affirmative Actio by Allan Rabinowitz The Special to The Spectrum (CPS) In California, a white male who claims that was kept out of medical school while a minority student of lesser ability was accepted is suing the University of California. In Kansas, a white male who compalins that he was denied a university job solely because it was reserved for a minority or woman is suing the University of Kansas. In New York and Minnesota, similar suits have been filed. As the job market tightens across the country, and the competition to get into medical and other professional schools turns vicious, white males are challenging university affirmative action and racial quota programs with charges of “reverse discrimination.” Using the fourteenth amendment of the Constitution the same amendment used to of the United States white males initiate civil rights programs and legislation claim that they are suffering solely because of their race and sex. The controversy first reached the public eye when Marcos DeFunis, Jr. filed suit in 1971 charging that he was refused admission to the University of Washington Law School while 38 minority group applicants who had worse academic records than he did were accepted. DeFunis was admitted to the law school when a superior court ruled in his favor. The Washington State Supreme Court reversed the decision but allowed DeFunis to remain in school pending an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. - he - - Moot case Since DeFunis was a third-year law student on the verge of graduating when the case finally reached the Supreme Court, that court ruled the case moot, explaining that DeFunis would graduate no matter what the outcome. Neither side was pleased with the decision. Cases similar to the DeFunis case are bound to reach the Supreme Court again. A Superior Court judge ruled in a case brought against the University of California (UC) that the quota system for minority admissions at the UC-Davis Medical School was unconstitutional. An attorney for UC, which has appealed to the.state Supreme Court, said "it can be pretty safely assumed that whoever loses will appeal to the United States Supreme Court.” controversy of reverse discrimination is complicated because “it is not between good guys and bad guys, but between very sophisticated parties who differ about what, in the effort to achieve a very pressing and very difficult end, we may rightly use as a means,” according to Carl Cohen, an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) national director. Critics of racial quotas claim that the Constitution is clear in prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex or color. Sen. John Tower (R., Texas) cited Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act as clearly outlawing the refusal to hire someone on the basis of color or sex, and attacked the Supreme Court for appearing “content to dodge the issue.” Claiming that “higher education in 1975 death struggle. with the economics of Tower went on to accuse the Department Education and Welfare of forcing campuses affirmative action guidelines and timetables threat of harsh financial penalties. and is in a life inflation,” of Health, to accept under the Equal opportunity Like other critics, Tower said he understands that affirmative action programs are sincere efforts to speed up equal opportunity in education and employment. But “while this frustration may make affirmative action understandable, it does not thereby make it legal, nor constitutional,” he said. A lawyer for the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai Brith, which has helped to sue several colleges in reverse also including the DeFunis case discrimination cases emphasized that efforts should be made to assure equal opportunity for minorities, but that this should consist of education and remedial training “at a lower level.” Supporters of quota systems argue that academic test scores are not accurate reflections of intelligence and ability to begin with, and that there are many reasons why a minority student may not perform as well academically. One overriding reason is that within the last 25 years, many states spent much more 25 times as much in some areas on the education of white children than they have - - - — for blacks. Janies P. Comer, an associate professor of psychiatry at Yale and president of the Black Psyclyatrists of America, claims that black children are often not given for achievement, and suffer motivation strive GMAT applications psychological performance. harm which may affect their later Cohen of the ACLU also pointed out that the Washington State Supreme Court ruled in the DeFunis case that all racial classifications are not unconstitutional. Cohen claims that the court ruled racial classifications unconstitutional only when they brand a particular racial group as inferior. A preferential admissions policy does not stigmatize minorities and does not have malicious intent, according to Cohen, since its aim is to bring races together rather than separate them. While the arguments in support of racial quota systems involve sociology, economics, psychology and the politics of the last 25 years, the grounds for charging discrimination stand reverse on much simpler legal grounds. The Constitution states that no one will be discriminated against on the basis of color and sex, but it does not specify what color or sex, or under, what conditions. How expansive an interpretation the Supreme Court will make is open to question. But with colleges being brought to court on charges of reverse discrimination again and again, some interpretation seems inevitable. Minority student has place to turn for help * The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) will be offered on November 1, 1975, and on January 31, March 27 and July 10, 1976.

A fee of $12.50 is required with the completed application. by Jenny Cheng ContributingEditor “The average State University student today is no longer white and upper middle class,” contends Jamil Hassan, Campus Coordinator of the Office of Minority Student Affairs (OMSA). “Today’s average student is coming from a different socio-economic and academic background, and Minority Student Affairs was established to meet the needs of students who come from these backgrounds,” he said. OMSA’s trained professionals and students provide assistance to minority students of all ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds, dealing with any situation related to University life, including both academic and non-academic problems. Student services OMSA offers academic and personal counseling, employment referrals, legal aid, recommendation letters, grievance appeals, and information regarding available state and federal funds for minority students. OMSA’s overall objective is to "enhance and increase a student’s chance of successful achievement of educational goals and objectives.” Specifically, the office is involved in preventive teaching and counseling. OMSA currently sponsors career seminars, summer orientation programs for HOP students, and many neighborhood youth programs. It also helps place students in University and recreational jobs, and sponsors tutorial and work study programs for inner city high school dropouts. was primarily geared to serve American expanded its office to encompass foreign students as well. “This is largely due to the fact that the University has drastically cut expenses funding various student organizations,” Hassan observed. As a result, several offices have been “relocated.” OMSA was recently incorporated into the Office of Human Resources. Although the office minority students, it has Minority advocates “Since April 1970, when OMSA was first established, it has been regarded as an office of minority advocates. Although the University was funding us, it was a little skeptical about our existence,” Hassan The Spectrum CLASSIFIED ADS really work asserted. “We have felt a ‘squeeze’ throughout the years, but now, we are feeling more optimistic that the administration is enabling us to carry out our intended functions. I only hope our funds aren’t cut any more than they have been already,” he stated. “I think we are good at solving problems,” Hassan affirmed “We’re good because we’re experienced.” Wednesday, 1 October 1975 The Spectrum .

Members of the UPA executive board feel many more students would be involved in the club if they realized it isn’t just for psychology seniors. UPA President Beth Singerman, Vice President Nancy Ellett, and Treasurer Gary Wieder stressed that the club is for everyone. It is for prospective psychology majors as well as declared ones, Singerman said. She explained that in order to be a declared major and assigned advisor in the Psychology department, a student must take Psychology 101 and 207 or an equivalent statistics course. Many freshmen who have not taken these courses and plan to major in psychology need advice, and do not know where to find it, Singerman maintained. Research “We try to find out what areas of research individual professors are involved in, so if a student desires to do research in a specific area of psychology, we cgn refer' him to the proper professor,” said Ellett. The UFA hopes to keep studertts informed of any available paying or non-paying positions as experimental subjects or research assistants. “It is important for students to understand all of the functions of the Psychology Department, not just their textbooks,” Singerman classes and remarked. The UPA plans to act as a liason between the Psychology Department faculty and the students, “to keep Fines of communication open.” The UPA plans a number of forums with speakers from psychology-related disciplines. Topics covered last year, for existentialism, included example, parapsychology. and phenomenology, A serious dilemma Ellett said many psychology majors have a serious dilemma. They, just take courses not knowing where they, are headed, she said. The UFA plans to invite speakers to discuss the job situation for people with a degree in psychology. According to Singerman. it is harder to get into a Graduate Program for Clinical Psychology than either Medical or Dental School . Because of .this, the l#A set up a “browsing library” and hwt with Qraduate' . students at thiv Uniyefsitjt, to discuss criteria for graduate school, acceptance. The UPA also intends to expand this program, so that, it includes. statistics on the rate of acceptances’of "Undergraduate psychology majors froon this University programs, into Financial troubles UFA plans also,include a “T-group weekend." A T-group weekend involves group sensitivity sessions where people "get together to leatn about themselves” through group interaction. Also slated for this year are a newsletter and weekend trips to a variety of psychology conventions. v In the past, the club has not been as active as possible, Weider observed. This could explain the difficulty in obtaining funds from the Student Association, he added. A budget request of $800 was submitted but only a $70 allocation granted. With enough student support, UPA members hdpe to receive an additional allocation from the supplemental budget, as well as possible financial aid from the psychology department. - Airlines offering reassurance to charter flights Jerry Rosoff Spectrum Staff Writer Chartered air travel has become a cheap but often frustrating way to travel over the last few years. Cancellations, delays and other hassles are often encountered by charter passengers, but airlines and travel agencies are trying to reassure potential customers that reduced fares do not inevitably lead to increased problems. Most charters are set up through a travel agent, although it possible to negotiate directly with the airlines. Allegheny Airlines offers two types of charters. The group charter is arranged by large is organizations such as the Elks and Rotary, while the single entity charter is offered by smaller companies and clubs. Whichever charter contract is taken, the entire plane must be reserved. Allegheny seeks to ensure that the traveler "experiences virtually no difficulty in his travels." The original price quoted can only be readjusted in the event that the travelers’ destination or aircraft is changed. Never be stranded If any change is made by Allegheny without permission of the traveler, no increase in cost will be required. Should a flight be cancelled or delayed for any reason. Allegheny alternate guarantees . that provisions will be made. If the' wait is overnight, the airline will arrange hotel"accommodations for the evening. Allegheny boasts that not a single charter was cancelled all year. "The people arc our responsibility, a charter is., a binding contract." a spokesperson of the company claimed "A passenger will never be stranded.” As of September 13, a new type ’ of charter has become available. Under the One-Stop Inclusive Tour Charter (OTC). it is now possible for a chartered plane to make only one stop, instead of the usual three, as long as a minimum of 40 seats are filled. Another type of charter is the “affinity charter.” geared towards qny group which has been organized for a purpose other than travel, and has been in existence for at least two years. To be eligible, a person must be a member of the organization for at ledsfsix months' Asked what protection the consumer has when traveling charter. Hank Land, spokesperson UB . KOREAN STYLE for Small World Travel Inc. said a person booking a charter flight pays the fee to a depository bank, not to the travel agent. The agent cannot collect his fee until at least two days after the airline certifies that the charter has been completed. It is for this reason, Land said, that a travel agent will do everything he can to complete the tour, from the plane trip to hotel accommodations. KARATE CLASS TIME 4:30 5:30 pm (Tues. & Thurs.)

I �News analysis W im mm Busing to bring major problems for Boston Editor's note: This is the first in a series of articles dealing with the busing situation in Boston and the implications of a similar policy in Buffalo. This first article deals with the social problems existing in the South Boston-Charlestown neighborhoods. by Alan Most and Ellen Grossman Earlier this month throngs of newsmen converged on the of neighborhood Boston Charlestown, waiting for the fight that occurred last year and the year before in South Boston. They had to make sure that if it happened again, they would be there. For the past three years the media has reported to the nation the ugly details of a busing program that was designed to eventually desegregate all of Boston’s public schools. The . was that of angry, frustrated whites stoning buses transporting black children to schools in neighborhoods that were not their own. Stabbings, beatings, running battles with the police and the elite Tactical Patrol Force were considered commonplace, as were signs stating “Niggers go home.” A boycott of classes by South Boston students lasted the entire year; many parents kept their children home because they were afraid. The words and pictures are all too familiar. In our minds, they belong more to the alleged bigotry of the South, rather than to the city called the “cradle of liberty”. Boston has always had a history of political reform. The home of many great universities, Boston was the first city in the United States to start a public school system. It has a spirit of racial picture tolerance that can be traced back as far as abolition, which took root in Boston in the 1830’s. Even before ,the Civil War, black men in the city won the right fo vote, sit as jurors, testify in court, and intermarry with white women. In 1855, nearly a century before Brown vs. the Board of Education made integrated schools the law of the land, Massachusetts rejected the “seperate but equal” doctrine, instead passed a law in discrimination forbidding admission to public schools. Continues Despite the city’s history of reform, the black population of Boston has continually faced discrimination and has been confined to the Boston ghettos, much as it has been in every other major city. The so-called “black belt” cuts through Boston from Back Bay, through Roxbury and North Dorchester. It is here that the majority of Boston’s 105,000 blacks live. Ten years ago this was a middle class white neighborhood; today the few remaining whites are mostly elderly homeowners. The area is characterized by low incomes and a high crime rate, topped off by prostitution and drugs.

South integration - Wednesday, 1 October 1975 . The Spectrum Page seven �weekly special EditPrial I i U Another election? Every few months, the various student associations hold elections that are geared towards their particular constituencies. Most of the time, students do not hear of these elections until the day they are run, students are not sure exactly who is eligible to vote, and students are not familiar with the pandidates or the issues and therefore don't bother to vote. Tomorrow marks a first-time event at this University. It is the day when the entire student body is eligible to vote in the same election not just undergraduates or graduate students, but Millard Fillmore College, law, medical, and dental students as well. The purpose of this election is to choose one person out of 27,000 to represent our student body at College Council meetings. Despite opposition from the SUNY Board of Trustees, College Councils and Community College Boards of Trustees across the state, a bill was passed by the New York State legislature last summer that requires each State University campus to have a non-voting student member sitting on its College Council. This represents a substantial victory for students in their efforts to exert more control in decisions that directly affect their education. The College Council is responsible for recommending appointments to the Chancellor, including for University President, reviewing all major University plans regarding faculty, students, admissions, academics, etc., and drawing up regulations governing the conduct and safety of students. Our representative will be awarded full membership privileges (except voting rights), including speaking privileges, the right to attend Executive sessions, make motions, place items on the agenda, and the right of access to all information dealing with the administration and — University policies. This year, the candidates for the position are Jim Smith, Mark Martin, Floyd Seligman, and undergraduate Student Association President Michele Smith who is running by consensus of all the student associations. All votes will be write-in and ballots may be obtained from any one of the many polling sites that will be stationed in key buildings throughout the University. So, student body, you know there is an election tomorrow, you know exactly who is eligible to vote, and you know the names of the candidates and the issue at hand. Unfortunately, you don't know any background information on three of the four candidates and you have no idea how they plan to do their jobs. Neither do we, neither does the Student Association, and because of this, we make no endorsement. The Spectrum 19 Vol. 26, No. WASHINGTON Much of the responsibility for the two recent attempts on President Ford’s life, some experts believe, must go to the White House and the CIA. The reason: They have made — assassination respectable by routinely practicing it. The CIA, as we first reported four and a half years ago, made numerous attempts to knock off Premier Fidel Castro of Cuba. There have been reports, furthermore, that the agency was involved in the deaths of Congo strongman Patrice Lumumba and Dominican Republic ‘ dictator Rafael Trujillo. Recently* the Washington Post revealed that a “high official” in the Nixon White House once ordered Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt to assassinate me. The plot was to be perpetrated with a powerful, untraceable poison supplied by a former CIA physician. It stands to reason, then, that revoluntionaries, or anyone with a cause, would be encouraged by the actions of their leaders. Psychologists call this phenomenon “modeling.” It is the very reason why movie stars and well-known athletes are chosen to advertise everything from pantyhose to coffee-makers. According to Sanford University’s renowned social psychologist Phillip Zimbardo, extensive research has demonstrated that when “powerful models” behave a certain way, their behavior becomes exemplary. People who read about White House orders to poison Jack Anderson or CIA attempts to kill Castro, Zimbardo told us, themselves begin to consider assassination “a viable alternative.” When potential assassins see government officials escape punishment, furthermore, it reinforces their conviction that assassination is a respectable act. At this moment, a Justice Department spokesman told us, government lawyers are “very vigorously” pursuing the possibility of prosecuting CIA officials who were responsible for assassinations of foreign leaders. Federal attorneys are also “studying laws” to see if anyone can be prosecuted for ordering my assassination. It is highly unlikely, however, that a former CIA director or high White House official will wind up in the jug for such acts, or Sarah Moore for attempting to kill a public figure when prominent officials go free for ordering precisely the same thing? It is an interesting legal argument, experts have told us one which could well be raised by lawyers for both of the would-be assassins. — Fuddle Factory Our continuing bureaucracy has investigation of the turned up a few more items: -The federal choice labor Department recently inspected 11-story building in Washington and found it full of safety hazards. The inspectors discovered faulty fire extinguishers and dark emergency exits. Overall, they listed more than 300 safety violations. The tenant: the Occupational Safety an and Health Administration. -Due to a massive administration foul-up in the Environmental Protection Agency, some 10,000 EPZ booklets were sent by mistake to a farm office in Missouri. The farmers don’t want the pamphlets, but they can’t afford the return by Jack Anderson with Joe Spear And they can’t burn them because it would violate the EPA’s clean aid standards. At last report, they were using the crates of booklets' as pedestals for plywood work tables. postage. Juggling act In his battle to reduce goverment regulation of business, President Ford has charges that unnecessary and ineffective government regulations cost each American family about $2,00 per year. He has never cited the source of his statistics. An investigation by Rep. John Moss, D Calif., however, indicates Ford may be juggling the figures to make his point. Moss found the White House was totally ignoring the money saved by government regulation of business. Ford focused on costs only, thus presenting a distorted figure. — KJan Calling The infamous Ku Klux Klan is once again raising its cross. Down in Denham Springs, La., the Klan has been sending nasty letters to people they think are wrongdoers. One white man, for example, was instructed to break up the romance between his daughter and a black youth. Another was ordered to pay his “store bills.” Occasionally the Klan makes a house call. If no one is home, they leave a calling card. “You have been paid a friendly visit by the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,” says the menacing message. “Should we pay you a real visit?” Lethal Lettuce All those stories about CIA attempts to assassinate world leaders with exotic poisons is really nothing new. The CIA predecessor, the old Office of Strategic Services, tried to knock off Adolf Hitler during World War II.

Any organization in which people interact js bound to have “political” problems. A student government has an additional “burden” in that it has a quasi-legal structure that can be used or misused for a person’s personal advantage. It is to alleviate this very problem that the new Student Senate was created. Assemblymen represented, and were responsible to, no one but themselves. This led to countless ego trips, and innumerable political battles in the Assembly. Sure we had election hassles but we will also You know who you are To the Editor.

If you knew that, you might figure there’d be a letter or two in the next issue of The Spectrum about your “prank” or “gig” or whatever you want to call what you think you did. I wonder what you think you - have a Student Senate on October first, which is the earliest a University student legislative body has been organized in many years. All the task forces have had two meetings at this date. Those meetings concerned themselves with issues libraries in Academics, legal services in Student Affairs, student services in Activities, just to name a few. not And look at who is getting involved from the but representatives “hacks,” just academic clubs, activity groups, and the general student body. There are a lot of new faces this year in Student Association and I credit that to the new Constitution. The Executive Committee will provide the leadership on University-wide issues. Most important at this moment is tomorrow’s elections for the University College Council. For the first time, students will have access to the closed door meetings at which so much of University policy is decided. Student Association should be there, and will be there to represent the students’ interests. The University budget and academic planning are priorities, and we will be working towards more student input in these matters. Student government is very frustrating. There are many problems to be tackled and much to do. One is tempted to follow the directive of the Cheshire Cat. But I believe that this year’s Student Association docs have that direction necessary to start to work on the problems of this University. I have my own priorities for Student Association, which I’ll discuss at the first Senate meeting, and, I hope, in future Guest Opinions . But the new year is just beginning.

Let us first consider why there are more buses to Governors than Ellicott. Governors* besides being tucked away in a corner of Amherst, is solely a residential/dinmg area. All of its residents are therefore forced to take buses to all of their classes, or make the walk to Ellicott or O’Brian. Is this inconvenience being treated fairly? Since most undergraduates have at least one (if not more) class at Ellicott, the need for Ellicott bus service should be less, considering the numbers living in EllicotL As stated above, Governors is more or less stranded in the midst of Amherst. Ellicott, on the other hand, abounds in all the facilities necessary for academic and social life. Governors is devoid of Student Clubs, libraries, theaters, large lounges, pizzarias, et. al. Again, is this equal treatment? Yet, there is one equalizer: the bus service. By the increased service to Governors, its residents are able to avail themselves of the things Ellicott residents take for granted.

While i am aware of a certain animosity between the two factions, I still believe that Mr. Niman is asking for too much too soon. The bus service I have observed at Eltfcott after classes there overwhelms me m comparison to the Governors service. While there may be only one bus here, there is commonly a pact of buses at Ellicott. Finally, if there is to be any bitching-as to the bus service, I challenge Mr. Niman to successfully go from Governors to Ellicott y .* via Blue Bird and get to classes on time. ; Robert Wanerman I M£M) poyou iOHAT host likb in po OOITH WR 60lFe^ \'l) I me w w/efc m m ewiou (OH J. v fc 1 'll enonop ?

Lastly, the routes proposed are unnaturally biased in favor of the Ellicott residents. The students who must commute to O’Briain/Baldy are forgotten in this scenario. Mr. Niman has neglected to mention that' a substantial proportion of those riding the Governors routes get off at O’Brian.

Local lawmakers and federal government dispute welfare by Marty Buchsbaum Spectrum Staff Writer Erie County lawmakers have taken issue with an action by the Orange County, New York Legislature, challenging the federal government on the question of who should pay for welfare and social service costs. The confrontation between Orange County and came to a head over the summer, when local funds for welfare ran out. The normal procedure would have been for the Orange County to appropriate more money ($1.5 Legislature million, in this case) in a supplemental budget. Instead, the legislature decided to withhold the extra money, arguing that although the federal government pays up to one-half of a locality’s social service funds, the burden of all payments should fall solely on the Washington lawmakers. Because the action of the Orange County Legislature left over 20,000 people without the benefits of Medicaid and other social service needs, the New York State Social Service Department Washington Commentary Attica trial continues to reveal brutality by Dana Dubbs Spectrum Staff Writer On September 10, 1971, Charles “Flip” Crowley stood in Attica Prison’s D Yard and shouted to 1200 inmates and a horde of television cameras, “If we cannot live like human beings, then we can at least try to die like men.” On September 25, 1975, Flip Crowley sat in the Erie County Courthouse in behalf of Attica defendant, Jomo Joka Omowale. aka Eric Thompson, and testified to the acts of brutality he underwent and witnessed in the days during and immediately following the bloody prison rebellion. Omowale, indicted on charges of kidnap and murder, is presently involved in a hearing to determine if selective prosecution exists in his case and if the charges against him will be dismissed. With tears in his eyes, Crowley, now a student at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan, told how he had been beaten, sodomized and verbally abused by state troopers and correction officers. “They took their sticks and they stuck it in my behind. They said. ‘You’re a faggot and we’re gonna screw you.’ My bowels broke and the mess was all over the floor and 1 was made to sleep in it. The officers were standing outside laughing at it,” he said. Brutality Crowley also recalled how he had been brought to an upstairs room in the prison hospital and surrounded by various correction officers who proceeded to hit and beat him. “They were beating me about the head and face with clubs and sticks. It continued for more than an hour in that room. They said, ‘You’re dead, nigger.’ They made me crawl around the floor and bark like a dog. They made me kiss their feet and shout white power. They put a sign on the door saying I had TB and no one was to enter. Throughout the day I was visited by officers. They were very upset about the speech.” In further testimony, Crowley related how correction officers brought a black inmate into a cell across the corridor from him. He related how on the 13th, “they came into that room, Wilson and two other officers. They came into the room and picked up this inmate and brought him over in this sheet and slung him up to the wall. I don't know if he was dead or not, but when they slung him up to the window, there was a blood stain that lasted two or three weeks.” quickly became involved, going to court to force Orange County to appropriate additional welfare money. Questions raised At the time the Orange County lawmakers took action, they sent letters to all the other county legislatures in New York, asking the legislators to follow suit. Here in Erie County, the legislature sent back a polite refusal. After a recent meeting of the Erie County Social Services Committee, the legislators sat down to discuss the events surrounding the Orange County controversy. All agreed that the actions taken in Orange County were irresponsible. “It was not ethical of them, or even legal, to stop the funds without knowing where further funds would come from,” said Susan Lubick, a legislator whose district covers a good part of Buffalo. “Their goal is admirable. 1 think most of us on the committee would like to see the federal government play a larger role, maybe a solo role, but there are proper means to achieve that goal and they did not follow those means.” Larger percentage Richard Slisz. a legislator from Lancaster, agrees that the federal government should pay a larger percentage of welfare costs, but, he says, the Orange “only hurting those was Legislature County recipients who are most m need.” when they cut off to make their point. Norman Wolfe, another Lancaster legislator, feels that the action of the grange County Legislature was “a means of political grandstanding.” He points out that a similar funding problem exists in Erie County but “we’ve handled it in the proper fashion; we’ve appropriated additional funds.” funds The Social Services Committee Chairman, Roger feels there’s a danger when a Blackwell, the needs of the people sacrifices body governmental to make a point. “The moral obligation of any government is to serve the people, and when you deny them that service, then you deny their rights. Those of us in government have a different road to travel, we have guy many means at our disposal that the little he have,” said. doesn’t Federal takeover Blackwell, however, unlike his colleagues, is not sure that a federal takeover of welfare funding is a desirable thing. He agrees that it would be nice if the federal government were to completely fund these programs as long as the locality retained the right of implementing the mechanisms by which the funds are distributed. The problems connected with a federal bureaucracy bother him. “It is difficult enough for the little guy to get through the maze of paperwork and the problems of getting service. If the federal government ends up taking over the entire system, there have to be all kinds of mechanisms to solve the problems that the federal government turns its back on. “The mother who doesn’t get her check can now come to someone in local government, but if the federal government took over, there’s no place for her to go,” he pointed out. Wolfe agrees that “the closer we keep the mechanics of servicing social service recipients to grassroots, the better off we are.” However, he points out that certain states, like New York and California, offer higher welfare payments to recipients than others, and there are many people who come here to be eligible for these higher benefits. We therefore end up paying the welfare costs which other states should be paying, he noted. Federal guidelines The only fair solution, he says, is to “distribute social service grants with equity, and that can only be done if it is predicated on a federal philosophy or federal guideline. I’d like to see the federal government set up federal guidelines in terms of total funding, and yet have local autonomy in terms of administration.” Lubick and Slisz ajso agree that there must be some local control over the distribution of funds, even if the federal government supplies them alone. out that local However, points Lubick implementation does not necessarily mean an effective job will be done. “We have not done the kind of job, in terms of providing services, that we could be doing in this county,” Lubick said. “The complete federal takeover could be a desirable situation in this particular instance, although I would not like to see it.” Obtaining information Crowley testified that during an interview with stage investigator Francis Keenan, he told Keenan of the abuse he had seen and undergone. He claimed that Keenan’s reply was, “How can we indict obtaining correction officers when we need their cooperation in information from inmates.” Concerning events in D Yard, prosecuting attorney Francis Cryan asked Crowley why he had given testimony to the Grand Jury which differed from the testimony he now gave. Crowley replied, “I told the Wyoming County Grand Jury what you told me to tell them. They asked questions you tdld me would be asked and I answered the way you told me to answer.” Afternoon testimony brought former inmate Robin Palmer to the stand. Also testifying on behalf of the defense, Palmer claimed that he was with inmate Sam Melville in D Yard on the 13th. The inmates were to given the warning to put their hands on their heads and surrender the -Melville was shot in Palmer, According officer. to the nearest process of surrendering. Palmer also cited incidents in which inmates believed to be the ringleaders were stripped, marked with X’s on their backs and beaten. At the close of Palmer’s testimony, the prosecution was granted a motion to adjourn court until Monday, October 6. By this date, the outcome of the long-awaited Meyer report is expected to be known. If it is proven that selective prosecution exists in the Attica cases, the charges against Omowale are expected to be dismissed. In addition, Governor Hugh Carey is expected to begin steps toward granting amnesty to all the indicted inmates, if it is shown that possible police crimes were ignored by the prosecution.

The tournament, hosted by Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), was staged on a wet, tricky course which had various affects on the scores. “The course helped the bad golfers,” said Buffalo coach Bill Dando. “They were able to tee it (the ball) up in the rough area.” Unfair fairway By the same token though, the soggy grass hampered the shots of the better golfers, causing some significant changes in the expected standings. It should be noted that there were only ten strokes between first place RIT (311) and the seventh place Bulls (321). Individually, the Bulls’ shooting was better than it has been this season, although team leader Mike Hirsch is still not playing at his proper level. According to Dando, “Hirsch should be down a little lower, but hell get there.” Hirsch shot a 78 at Brook Lea, as did teammate Greg Andzel. While these 78’s may seem to be a little high for leading scores, Dando pointed out that the Brook Lea course was long and tough, and that the week’s rainy weather didn’t help the scores either. Qualifier this week The Bulls’ next major tournament will be the ECAC Qualifier at Colgate University on October 4. The qualifier determines who will go to the ECAC Championship Finals held in Doylestown, Pa. on October 15th. Dando feels that the Buffalo golfers will do a good job in the qualifying round, noting that much of the competition consists of teams that were at (he Brook Lea Tournament. “The kids are shaping up. There can be a ten-stroke swing anytime," the Buffalo coach said of the point differential at R1T. With the Bulls' golfers progress continuing, and with a little help from the weather. Bill Dando’s assessment of the team’s chances may very well become reality.

Potential champs Bulls shutout Canisius in win The soccer Bulls took a giant step toward becoming the first Big Four conference champs in any sport ever as they shutout Canisius 3-0 on Saturday. This win. coupled with Buffalo's 2-1 triumph over Buffalo Slate on September 17, makes the Bulls 2-0 in Big Four competition and sets up a big match against Niagara here on October 8. Senior Mark Karrer was the key figure in the Bulls' victory as he scored two goals against the Griffins. Karrer, who hails from Snyder, spent his first two years of school at Michigan Slate before transferring to Buffalo, Goaltender Brian Smaszcz got the shutout, the Bulls' first of the year. The Cheektowaga freshman looks like he could be the surprise of the year for Buffalo. The win was the third this year for the Bulls against two defeats, but their won-lost record is somewhat deceiving. Leading scorer Emmanuel Kulu was ejected from the Bulls’ 3-2 loss to Syracuse, and the Bulls’ other loss was to number three ranked Hartwick. The Bulls' performances against defending Division 111 champs Brockport and against Albany. Binghamton, and Stony Brook in the SUNY Center Championship later this month will make or break the Bulls' season. One of the reasons the Tennis Bulls have won eleven matches in a row has been their great depth. And one of the reasons the Bulls are so deep is Athlete of the Week Rob Gurbacki. A graduate of Sweet Home High, Gurbacki regularly plays fourth singles and second doubles for Buffalo, but when Randy Murphy was excused for the match against St. Bonaventure, Gurbacki moved up one notch in both singles and doubles, and won both matches.

Nevertheless, McClain was not too happy. “This isn’t up one or two spots in the lineup.

' Monday, 29 September 1975 State University of New York at Buffalo Vol. 26, No. 18 Union attempting reforms for working grad students by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor The teaching and research that employed graduate students perform is considered a part of their education by most University administrators. But graduate students across the country are beginning to see themselves as workers, too, claiming that the jobs they do for pay are essential to the normal functioning of the university, and that the conditions of their work are negotiable. Organizers from graduate student unions at 16 major universities met in Ann Arbor several weeks ago for a two-day conference to share experiences and work out plans to consolidate their respective organizations. Representatives from the Graduate Student Employees Union (GSEU) at the State University at Buffalo participated in the conference in hopes that it would help facilitate their current drive to win the right to represent the employed graduate students at this campus in negotiations with the state over wages, working conditions and for benefits. National conference The conference opened at the University of Michigan with a round table discussion, allowing each union to introduce itself and its history. At the one session, a panel of organizers gave presentations on the basic issues involved in organizing a union, and then broke down into small discussion groups to deal with specific problems. The following day, workshops were held on various topics, such as contract issues, structure of unions, education reforms, bargaining preedures and the participation of women in the union. Other workshops dealt with legal questions, politics and the unions, strikes and the graduate student union’s relationship to the trade union movement. Recognized unions Of special interest were (he presentations of two graduate student unions that have already won legal recognition through state-run elections, and that are presently working union union contracts. One is the Teaching Assistants Association (TAA) of the American Federation of Teachers, Local 3220 at Madison’s University of Wisconsin, now working under its fifth contract. The other is the Graduate Employees Organization (GEO), at Ann Arbor’s University of Michigan, now working unders its first contract, and the hosts of the conference. The TAA began as a graduate student organization in the spring of 1966 after a demonstration protesting the nation’s draft laws, in effect during most of the Vietnam war years. Because of the specifics of the law, to give a student a failing grade was equivalent to sending him to Vietnam, and many graduate teaching assistants opposed this because they opposed American involvement in the war. Protests increase In 1969, the Wisconsin legislature introduced a bill to rescind the out-of-state —continued on page 10— Dean’s statement j. f j | || ■ Colleges Dean Irving Spitz berg has upheld the position of the University administration in calling for an end to exculsionary enrollment practices in Women’s Studies College. Spitzberg’s opinion agrees with the SUNY Counsel agrument that exclusion on the basis of sex is outlawed by Title IX and HEW guidelines, and by sections of the New York Human Rights Law and the policies of the Board of Regents and the SUNY Board of Trustees. In a lengthy statement published in last Thursday’s Reporter, Spitzberg expressed hope that the College would not be terminated at the end of this semester, but warned that it was in great danger if the conditions set forth by the administration to clarify the College charter and guarantee against future discriminatory practices are not met. The statement was circulated to members of the Women’s Studies College in draft form during the week prior to publication. A seven page criticism was drawn up by the College in conjunction with the American Studies Department and returned to Spitzberg who reportedly reqrote portions of the statement taking some of the criticisms into account. Response Wednesday Representatives of Women’s Studies College were not prepared to release details of their criticisms at press time. They promised, however, to respond to Spitzberg’s statement in Wednesday’s issue of The Spectrum. Women’s Studies College currently offers five all-women courses including the introductory Women in Contemporary Society (WSC 213) which is the largest course in the College. According to Spitzberg’s statement in the Reporter, enrollment in the five exclusionary courses constituted most of the College’s total enrollment in 1974-75. In fall 1974, 93 percent of the College’s total enrollment was female. In the spring term of 1975, it was 97 percent female. “Without challenging the claim of discriminstation against women in the past and present, I cannot accept the argument justifying the exclusion of men from Women’s Studies courses. Past discrimination does not support present exclusion,” Spitzberg wrote. No relationship 9 Spitzberg pointed out that there is no logical relationship between the concept of affirmative action and the right to exclude a whole class of people. “Affirmative action does not imply a right to exclude a whole sex or ethnic group, regardless of educaitonal justifications in . ' -t * particular cases.” Women’s Studies College has contended that not allowing men to be excluded from certain classes infringes on the academic freedom of the College and its instructors. Members have defended the courses on the grounds that they do, in fact, contribute to an Affirmative Action program. They feel all-women courses are a redress for past discrimination against women in society and that they are not being used as reverse discrimination against men. But Spitzberg notes that depriving an instructor of the right to exclude in no way limits freedom of speech, and may be construed as increasing it. Competition He views the conflict as competition between freedom of instruction and equal opportunities for students. “Regardless of one’s ethical system,” Spitzberg wrote. “the exclusion of a whole class of persons from a course on the basis of an accident of birth is unfair to the whole class,” especially where the attendance of men will affect the women to a degree which is “at present and highly problematic.” “The College should immediately begin to prepare alternatives to its exclusionary courses, which will maintain the strengths of the present at the least cost to the integrity of an educationally-effective offering,” Spitzberg said. Spitzberg maintained that the rule against exclusion should not prevent the College from using categories of race, age, class or sex to increase the diversity of its classes, if the general rule for class composition is first come first serve. “Discrimination in favor of diversity at the margin is quite different from discrimination in the form of class exclusion,” he noted. Cautions voiced Spitzberg went on to say he felt that funds for the College should not be cut off unless its revised charter is shown to be clearly in violation of relevant law or University policy. He cautioned the University to exercise restraint in its dealings with the College so as not to devastate the affirmative action character of the College as it exists. He pointed out that the language of Title IX allows an exemption for long established women’s colleges because it is possible to identify them easily and clearly, but Women’s Studies does not fall under this exemption because it is part of a coed institution. The controversy over the all-women’s classes began when Executive Vice President Albert Somit, in Irving Spitzberg accordance with a legal interpretation from the SUNY Counsel, informed the College that several courses which provide for “women only” enrollment violate HEW Title IX guidelines and/or New York State Human Rights Law. Title IX, which went into effect on July 21, 1975, is part of a 1972 anti-sex discrimination law which assures that no person will be excluded from participation in any course of educational program on the basis of sex. The SUNY Central administartion is expected to issue in the next few weeks a SUNY-wide policy regarding application of Title IX guidelines to existing programs. * « � • * Representatives of Women’s Studies College met with President Robert Ketter last Wednesday to settle the last few technicalities involved before final ratification of the charter. College members said these changes were minor and would not compromise the charter or the College’s position. They noted that the meeting last week may serve as a precendent for the College and the administration to deal reasonably with each other on future issues. �Campus Directory student listing this year due to increased budget cut The campus directory will not list the addresses or phone numbers of students this year due to budget cuts. Westley Rowland, Vice President for University Relations, said that because his budget was cut ten thousand dollars, printing student Istings was financially impossible. Also eliminated from the directory was the. departmental roster, which is a listing of all the staff members of each department.

VOTE TODAY ELECTIONS Non residential Colleges not j hurt by chartering process by Mike McGuire Contributing Editor • J • The rigorous chartering process weathered by the University’s Collegiate System last year has not significantly altered its operation, an informal investigation by The Spectrum has revealed. “Chartering was supposed to make us legitimate” in the eyes of the University community, “but we’re considered no more legitimate now than we were before maybe less,” said Howie Kling, a member of the Social Sciences College Executive Committee. The Colleges were led to believe that the enhanced “legitimacy” resulting from the chartering process would lead to increased budgets. This was a false assumption, Kling maintained. There are seven residential Colleges which are located in the Ellicott Complex on the North Campus, and four “non-residential” Colleges located on Winspear Avenue and in Crosby Hall. Social Sciences College is the only non-residential unit that has suffered a substantial enrollment decline since it was chartered last January. There are only 163 students registered this semester, as opposed to 298 last spring. The College is dedicated to teaching radical social theory, and is located at 180Winspear.

CONN . r ‘ More students expected Kling told The Spectrum that the enrollment drop was not caused by a loss of appeal by the College, but rather was part of a general trend that larger College enrollment is always experienced in the spring semester. Almost 200 students registered last fall, for example, while about 300 enrolled in the spring. Additionally, the Social Sciences College was affected by incorrect course listings printed in The Reporter last May, Kling said, which compounded the Colleges’ internal problems. Kling explained that a third reason for lower enrollments was the absence of the College-wide course catalog until well past the initial registration period. In past years, catalog listing all of the courses offered by the Colleges was readily available. College F, also known as Tolstoy College, is located at 264 Winspear Avenue and is devoted to the study of anarchism, communities and male sex roles. The College was also hit with initially low registration numbers this semester, but an active campaign to inform students of the College’s programs has resulted in the current enrollment of 141 students, according to coordinatory Charlie Haynie. This compares to a total of 154 last spring. Great demand The College of Urban Studies, on the other hand, maintained its high enrollment of last spring, and has even turned away more than 100 students so far this fall. The College’s success may be attributed to its ability to attract well-known community figures to teach its courses, such as State Supreme Court Justice Joseph Mattina, Leo Donovan, head of the Buffalo Police Department’s' Homicide Squad, - . — * — Page two The Spectrum Monday, 29 September 1975 Fargo Desk in Ellicott 636-2295 However, the numbers of students living off campus are not available from University operators and will have to be obtained from the Buffalo phone book or by dialing directory assistance. *| Paid Pol Ad.

Urban Studies College academic coordinators Bob Budiansky and Steve Schwartz said enrollment in the College is currently more than 600 and is expected to be still higher when final registration figures are determined. Women’s Studies College has been a steady source of controversy. After receiving a conditional charter from President Robert Ketter last spring, Women’s Studies was told by Executive Vice President Albert Somit this past summer that the College had to terminate five “women-only” classes by August 15 or else the College would be closed by the fall. The deadline was changed to October 15 “Wpwsantatives from the College pointed out that the 'courses in question had already been approved by the proper University committees last fall, and that many students had already been registered. Enrollment in the College this fall is comparable to last spring. Women’s Studies College has traditionally been the in spotlight because of its study of the woman’s role in society taught from a feminist perspective. The College is located at 108 Winspear. No difference Like Kling in Social Sciences College, students and teachers in Women’s Studies and College F deny that the charteiing process has made any difference in their College’s activities. Steve Schwartz of Urban Studies said the only change was the addition of courses that were formerly in the disbanded College Z (Law and Society College). The chartering process was mandated by the “Reichert Prospectus” developed in 1974,which was described by its supporters as a way of ensuring the academic “legitimacy” of the Collegiate System. Amidst fears by members of some Colleges that the Prospectus was an attempt to decimate the Collegiate System, the University-wide Chartering the Committee rejected only of the 12 Colleges New College of Progressive Education and invited that College to re-apply after a semester as a non-credit workshop. Women’s Studies College was granted a five-year charter conditioned on eliminating so-called “exclusionary” clauses from their charter and requiring that it first submit any proposed all-women courses to the Division of Undergraduate Education Curriculum Committee for approval. But Ketter warned Women’s Studies, as well as Social Sciences College and College F, that they had better exercise discretion “similar to that of Caesar’s wife” when teaching courses that are ideologically biased. Ketter also scheduled reviews of Social Sciences College and College.,!; ,in January 1976 to look for violations of “academic freedom,” as well as to examine Women’s Studies in fall 1976 to ensure there is no discrimination against males. Also, Urban Studies is scheduled for a “limited review” at that time to see if the College maintained a consistent academic quality. — — �Nina Shalom The I&Aei Information Center, in cooperation the American Zionist Youth Foundation, presents Nina Shalom next week. On Sunday, September 28 at 9 p.m., she will speak at the Buffalo State College Hillel House, 1209 Elmwood Avenue, on Monday, September 29 at 12 noon in the Fillmore Room. Shalom is an Iraqui Jew who is well versed on the subject of the oppression of lews in Arab lands. with Wiesel speaks highly of the Jewish youth by Faith Prince Special to The Spectrum world has learned its lessons from the Holocaust. “1 am a pessimist when it comes to the world an optimist only when it comes to our people.” And what is the role of the Jew in this world? “To be Jewish. To affirm one’s Jewish identity in the fullest way. Not opposed to society but as a fire, affirming society, lighting society, knowing society. To affirm the past.” — Author Elie Wiesel is a storyteller and he began his lecture Thursday night in the Fillmore Room with a story. He told of a little boy who decides to search for the truth, believing truth to be a beautiful woman. He searches fruitlessly until finally, old and exhausted, he meets her face to face. She is not beautiful; she is ugly. But what could he do? She was truth. As with all of Wiesel’s stories, this one teaches a lesson. “We try to tell the truth and the truth is Bedtime story He closed his talk as he opened it woth a story. “The celebrated Vilna Gaon said, T h e m o s t difficult commandment of the - “ often ugly.” “We live in a society that is totally dehumanized,” Wiesel observed. “The past gives you shame and the future, a sneer. We live in a world where man goes to the moon and doesn’t know his neighbor. We live in a world where ancient hatreds come to the foreground again . . . We are doomed by our own indifference to our fate.” All is not lost In spite of all this, Wiesel Still retains hope and he gives the evidence to support his hope. “1 believe that Jewish youth and perhaps youtty in general have done things in my generation that their parents have not done.” He spoke of the ghetto fighters and the Palestine Underground. “At one point they decided, ‘We have to take Jewish history on our shoulders.’ These were young people who had 2,000 years of exile on their shoulders and suddenly they had the courage to say to themselves, No! Enough!” This youthful energy and determination continues through today according to Wiesel. He spoke of the young Jews in the Soviet Union, denied a Jewish education but indomitable in Jewish spirit. “Who would have believed it of these kids, born three generations after the Revolution, who never had a chance to learn about Judaism?” he asked. Elie Wiesel Torah is, we must rejoice during the festivities.’ ‘Why is this so difficult? “Because there were times, twenty, thirty years ago when Jews couldn’t rejoice, and yet they did. “I remember, in those places, one Simhat Torah. The Rabbi said we must dance with the Torah. “You.re crazy! we said. ‘Where do we get a Sefer Torah here?' “Suddenly he saw young boy of fourteen. He took him in his arms and said, ‘You are Torah,’ and began dancing. “Though it was with such a sad joy what a pure joy it was!” The message from this story? “To those here around us because we can and because we will do what they have done we must rejoice, as commanded on Simhat Torah. Amen.” SA elections termed invalid; the decision will be appealed by Laura Bartlett Campus Editor The Student-Wide Judiciary declared unanimously that the election for six resident student positions in the Student Senate is invalid, and directed the Student Association (SA) to hold new elections as soon as possible. However, SA Elections and Credentials Officer Stephanie Wonder promised that the decision will be appealed. The Judiciary awarded its decision to Senate candidates Bert Black and Nick Collins, who brought the case before the panel. Black and Collins had posted campaign signs allegedly carrying false information pertaining to athletic budget expenditures. The two claim they obtained this information from Financial Committee member Mike Jones. � » Incorrect information Student Athletic Review Board (SARB) Chairperson Dennis Delia noticed the signs, and called Black and the SA office to complain. According to Black, after Delia warned him that he was going to challenge his candidacy and demand a letter of retraction. Black told Collins to first confirm the information about the budget with Jones and then to consult another person familiar with the SA budget to double-check. Black claims he told Collins that if the information was found to be the least bit questionable, then he should take the signs down. After checking with Jones and SA President Michele Smith, Collins found the information to be incorrect, but when he went to remove the signs he found they were already gone. Delia claims he removed the signs himself to present to Wonder. “I knew if I left them there and then complained, they would disappear,” he said, “and then I would have no proof of my allegations.” Ad hoc committee Black and Collins composed a letter of retraction which appeared in the Friday issue of The Spectrum. Later that day, Delia presented a letter of complaint to Wonder, challenging Black and Collins’ candidacies. Wonder called together a committee consisting of Executive Vice President Arthur Lalonde, Director for Student Affairs Steve Schwartz, and Vice President for Sub Board Bruce Campbell. Black, Collins and Delia were informed there would be a hearing at noon Friday, when the committee would decide whether or not Black and Collins should be disqualified from the election. Black claims he was informed of the meeting’s time only two hours before, and thus did not have “the presence of mind” to call witnesses. “I wasn’t even told what it was for,” he said. “I have a class at [y ■ “And sometimes when people ask me, thfnking that I have the answer, what is the future of the American Jewish youth, I like to say, ‘If Russian Jewish youth gave instead of us hope disillusionment, why should I anything less from expect American Jewish youth? It took us years to awaken the American Jewish community (to the plight of Soviet Jewry), and do you know who did it? The young people, high school students!” Reading from his play, Zalmen or the Madness of God , in which the outcry of an old Russian rabbi is ignored, Wiesel related that»“An act of one man can change more men than himself. One act of one outcry of truth courage will change other people.” Nonetheless, the survivor of Auschwitz does not believe the — - , A technicality The Judiciary said it “does not disagree” with the decision to disqualify the two candidates, but felt the important issue was the denial of due process in the making of a “hasty” decision by an unofficial committee. Wonder and Delia claimed the Judiciary evaded the main issue and ruled on a technicality, Since the Judiciary also ruled that an appeal could not be brought before it.

Denied due process The Judiciary ruled that the SA constitution requires an Elections and Credentials Committee, composed of members approved by the Student Senate, to decide election disputes. The only such person on the ad hoc committee approved by last year’s Student Assembly was Wonder. “Webster defines a committee as a group or panel,” the Judiciary members said, and thus Wonder, even though approved by the Assembly last year as Elections and Credentials Officer, did not constitute an Election and Credentials Committee. “Therefore, we find that Black and Collins were denied due process,” they said. The Judiciary had issued a restraining order to prevent Wonder from disqualifying Black and Collins from the election, but by that time, Schwartz already posted signs saying they were ineligable. Black and Collins brought the case to the Judiciary, claiming their chances of winning the election were damaged by the signs, and asking for a new election. The results of the voting were never announced. | I VOTE TODAY elections ilFFI IS ‘bil that time.” Delia and Collins testified before the committee, and Black came later. Black and Collins claimed they did not put false information on their signs intentionally, but acted on the advice of a person they believed was knowledgable. Wonder said, however, that Student Assembly minutes showed Black was present at a meeting where the Athletic Budget was discussed, and that copies of the budget were distributed. Thus, she felt, he should have been aware of what the budget said. Black replied that being at a meeting “in body” does not mean a person is totally aware of everything that happens and is said. “Also, part of the budget was passed in March,” he said. Black was present at a meeting in May. Delia contended that Black and Collins should not have depended on Jones’ expertise. “If anyone should have been asked, it should have been myself or Carol Block,” he said. Block is SA Treasurer, and Delia is SA Athletic Treasurer. Jones was on the Assembly Finance Committee, he said, which did not deal with the Athletic Budget at all. - Activities RAY’S 3205 Bailey Ave. in room 233 Norton (At Stockbridge) Feast your eyes on Buffalo's most interesting assortment of antiques.

An eligibility revision made early last year will bar students from middle and upper-class households from the food stamp program. New Agriculture Department regulations require that students whose parents claim them as income tax dependents be dropped from the program unless their parents are also receiving food stamps. The ban applies to students more than 18 years old who attend any post-secondary institution and get more than half of their income from a household with too much money to qualify for food stamps. Accurate figures on how many students will be eliminated by the change in regulations are unavailable, according to department officials, but some non-government studies have shown that “many thousands” of students receive food stamps, officials added. Changes postponed Although the eligibility change was sent to county and state administrators in February, difficulties in implementing the changes have forced many states to postpone any policy changes until this fall, department official said. Food stamp program administrators felt a crack-down was needed, according to Bob Welch, a food program supervisor, because “so many people claimed that college students were abusing the program. There was so much bad publicity about students that we wanted to do something to assure people that the needy are the people being served by the food stamp program.” Welch squelching stamps said the change was “one way of the idea some people had that food were being abused.” This year’s change in eligibility is receiving less opposition than another Congressional restriction , 1971 which was designed to eliminate students from the program. That policy change, “written specifically to get at students and eliminate hippies,” according to department spokesperson, was struck down by the Supreme Court. The Court ruled that the restriction was too broad, and would cut groups other than students from the food stamp rolls as well. passed in by Anthony Schmitz Special to The Spectrum To qualify Students who aren’t claimed by their parents as tax exemptions will still receive food stamps if they meet income qualifications. Currently anyone with an adjusted monthly income of $215 or less is eligible to receive food stamps. Scholarships are deductable if they go to meet educational expenses, and adjustments are made to account for medical costs, rent, child care and other expenses. A $ 1500 limit is set on the amount of liquid and non-liquid assets a food stamp recipient could keep and continue to be eligible. Liquid assets are savings accounts, checking accounts or other readily convertible sources of income. Non-liquid assets could includ luxury items, such as a boat, that could be converted into cash less easily. Personal possessions such as a car or stereo are not counted as assets under eligibility requirements, however. Students still eligible for food stamps could be left completely out in the cold if a bill introduced by Sen. James L. Buckley (R -N.Y.) is passed. Buckley claimed that students at colleges and other post-secondary institutions are volunetarily unemployed, he maintained. Buckley recommended that students be eliminated from the food stamp rolls altogether. The bill is scheduled for hearings beginning in and according to Robert Grippin, a legislative assistant for Buckley, the “bill should not be dismissed” as another piece of legislation that will languish in Congress. Fliminating students from the food stamp rolls has become an “extermely popular” idea in Congress, he said, and warned that the response to the bill “should not he underestimated.” Illegal search alleged at the Stone’s concert by Pat Quinlivan October, SckuAAme iAietA nc. SL CU J MEMBERSHIP BASH!!! Tuesday, Sept.30 -7:30 pm in the Fillmore Room The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) has lodged a with the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department, regarding the conduct of Erie County Sheriff Michael Amico and his deputies at the Rolling Stones’ concert at Rich Stadium on August 8. Ira Glasser, Executive Director of the NYCLU, officially issued the complaint, which charged that the Sheriff’s Department “systematically and without probable cause conducted a general search, of many young people” who attended the rock concert. The complaint observes that actions of this ilk have previously been alleged, and offers the hope “that any investigation of these particular charges would include an attempt to determine whether a pattern or practice of illegal conduct by Sheriff Amico exists.” The Sheriff’s Office informed The Spectrum that Amico would be at a convention all week, and would not be available-for comment. complaint Later dismissed Approximately 85 persons were arrested in connection with the concert. Most of these arrests were “later dismissed or adjourned in contemplation of dismissal,” the complaint points out. A number of affidavits and statements attached to the complaint note that personal searches and searches of cars were conducted at random among those driving and walking to the stadium. Some claimed that young people were physically and verbally abused by the deputies. These statements “all allege facts which, if true, would clearly show that the arrests were based on illegal searches, made without probable cause,” Glasser says. One of the attached statements, given by Randy and Claudia House, relates that they had just left their van in the stadium parking lot, when, “apparently without probable cause, several sheriff’s deputies approached, seized several youngsters, beat two, arrested one, and towed the van away.” The van had not been returned as of the date of the statement. Illegal general search (First Floor Norton) The complaint contends that the compiled statements and affidavits “establish a pattern of an illegal general search sufficient to justify a thorough investigation of civil rights violations by the Civil BEER & PRETZLES V ■■WINE & CHEES D l\t ll City Editor CLUB INFO. Rights Division.” The NYCLU is interested, Glasser explains, “not only because we wish to remedy what happened, but also because we wish to discourage and prevent the same thing from happening again.” Some people have observed that the Rolling Stones’ concert was not the first affair at which such tactics were employed. The NYCLU alleges that “Sheriff Amico himself has shown little tendency to accept the notion of constitutional limits.” In addition, the complaint claims that Amico’s “most serious response to "public criticism of his conduct has been to charge the ACLU with subverting law and order and to threaten to provoke a federal investigation of us!” EQUIPMENT DISPLAYS Life-style harassment Come and see how we can offer you FREE SKIING! of private prejudice.” SKI CLUB - 318 NORTON - 831-2145 Glasser suggests that what the sheriff did was, “pure and simple, the harassment of the young based on life-style,” and proposes that, “the police power of the state must never be involved as an instrument The complaint refers in its concluding paragraph to a similar one regarding charges that excessive bail was set by Orchard Park Justice of the Peace Charles Schol, following the August 8 arrests. The ACLU ffeels the law officers’ conduct “may well amount to a conspiracy to deprive many of the concert-goers of their civil rights within the meaning of the Civil Rights Act.” Monday, 29 September 1975 .

The Commuter Club, and the Commuter Student Affairs Committee can easily be confused while trying to read a partially covered meeting notice on the way to a class already in progress. But members of both groups have attempted to distinguish theie responsibilities. Joe Novak, Spokesperson for the Commuter Club said, “We are a social organization dedicated to helping commuters get to know other commuters on campus.” All planned activities are of a social nature, such as hayrides, weekend camping trips to Allegheny Park and dances. The club is in the process of rewriting its constitution in order to receive funds from the Student Association. “Commuters live at home, virtually isolated from the rest of the campus. Club meetings and social involvement break the institutional tension in school,” Novak said. The Erie County Medical Society (ECMS) is investigating the use of advertising by physicians at the Erie County Medical Center • \ (Abortion Clinic). According to Richard Treccasse, Executive Director of the Medical Society, “it is illegal and unethical for physicians to advertise in New York State.” Standards of conduct forbid doctors in New York State to directly advertise theire services, or to be associated with a clinic or group practice which advertises.

For funds to be granted to an organization, it cannot duplicate the function of another organization. This is why the Commuter Club is concentrating on the social needs of the commuter and the Commuter Student Affairs Committee was designed to help students with problems in areas such as transportation and their feelings of alienation toward campus facilities. One member of the Club suggested a booth be opend in Norton Hall to inform people about what is going on for commuters. Club members have approved this idea. However, the group must defer all future plans until members see whether or not the club will be funded. The funding is expected to be approved when the Club’s constitution is “reworded to show a difference between the two groups,” Novak said.

Monte Blau succeeds acting Chairman Merrill Bender. Blau is a Research Professor of Nuclear Medicine and Biophysical Sciences at the University, and serves as a research scientist at Roswell Park Memorial Institute. Well-known for his contributions to nuclear medicine in the development of new radiopharmaceuticals and instrumentation, Blau has been a radiation medicine consultant to the government of India and the French Atomic Energy Commission. It is rare that a non-physician is appointed to head a department of nuclear medicine. it is just as important for a hospital to have a nuclear medicine department as an X-ray machine. The development of new radiopharmaceuticals for the pancreas, bones, and brain are Blau’s main interest. While there are no Ph.D. programs in nuclear medicine, graduate students who do research in the field receive degrees in Biology and Physics. But Blau said that an accredited course for technicians will probably start here within the year, pending approval by the State University. The course would be helpful because the University currently supplies seven hospitals with radiopharmaceuticals every day, which are prepared by only two technicians. Blau was also hopeful that a joint Ph.D. program in Pharmacology and nuclear medicine could be arranged. Promoted Department “The field of nuclear medicine is about 20 years old,” Blau explained. He added that the University established the Department a few years ago, promoting it from a division of radiology. “Buffalo is an important center for nuclear research. Interest in nuclear medicine and the use of isotopes has spread rapidly,” Blau stressed. Nuclear medicine is both a clinical discipline and a general diagnostic tool. In many cases it is used as a preliminary step in diagnosing brain tumors when regular X-rays may be ineffective. Blau explained that there are about ten departments of nuclear medicine in Buffalo, and that Special training Nuclear equipment, such as the Isotopy Scanner and Gamma Ray Camera cost tens of thousands of dollars, and these new instruments require technicians to be specially trained. “We are running an instrument quality control workshop for technicians from the hospitals of Buffalo to help them spot mistakes in the instruments,” Blau said. There is currently a training program for medical doctors who intend to specialize in nuclear medicine at the University. Some courses are also offered to third and fourth year medical students, as well as practicing physicians who just wish to familiarize themselves with the new methods. Driving, lighting and lying About 5 percent of the American (CPS) public surveyed lied when asked if they do anything to conserve energy, according to the Federal Energy Adminsitration (FEA). In a recently conducted survey, the FEA asked questions about what Americans are doing to save fuel. Pollsters asked questions such as: “Are you using fewer lights?” or “Do you drive at 55 miles per hour?” At the end of the interviews, pollsters asked, “Have you ever installed a thermidor in your automobile?” Five percent answered yes, FEA spokespersons said.

SONIN CANOUNA. —r — Bike path proposal study is underway The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) is currently researching i legislative proposal for the construction of bicycle paths from state highway taxes. A similar proposal has been effective in Oregon since 1971, when it was first passed as House Bill 1700. Since then, similar proposals have been introduced in 30 states. NYPIRG Director, Donald Ross, said the research in New York was just in its beginning stages and would take about a semester before a proposal could be written. Through this research, NYPIRG wants to modify Oregon’s example to fit New York conditions and to avoid the problems Oregon encountered. Gerry Schultz, staff attorney of Buffalo NYPRIG, feels these bike paths would benefit everyone by saving energy, lessening air pollution and encouraging people to exercise safely. According to House Bill 1700, one percent of all gasoline taxes in Oregon are set aside for the building of bicycle and pedestrian paths. With the state and federal tax at $.11 per dollar, approximately $2 million is available annually for these paths. Supporters of this new legislation at first encountered many difficulties. The legislatures in Oregon had not expected the bill to pass and, therefore, were not prepared to start work on the paths. Oregon first began researching the construction and location of paths once the bill had become law. Complex system Finding no suitable state for a model, Oregon conducted surveys to find out why people went cycling, and set up a Bicycle Advisory Committee to hold public hearings to set locations. Instead of constructing a few long distance paths, several short range paths were built in different areas of the state. The first 44 miles were built as part of 35 different projects because of a complex system of allocating funds between the state, city and county governments. In addition, many of these paths were poorly constructed, and the asphalt cracked with the first rains. Despite the initial difficulties encountered, by 1973 one hundred miles of bikeways had been completed. Oregon is now investigating some long range proposals for paths which would pass through scenic countryside, towns, orchards, caves and fields.

I of a UB publication was amazed and grateful that it finally is being recognized.) The Spectrum, and you, seem to see that despite the gray coulds that share the town with us, there is a silver lining. More emphasis on this and maybe the grumbling (constant) about Buffalo on campus will take a lower key. While not Boulder, Colorado (my personal favorite city I’ve never been to) or any of the multitude of seemingly better places to live, Buffalo isn’t bad. It is an easy city to develop a love-hate relationship with, but soon (sooner or later maybe) you realize it’s bad weather you don’t like, not Buffalo. - - The Student Association (SA) has had a difficult time pulling itself together this year. First, six members of the Executive Committee threatened to resign at the end of last semester unless certain differences they had with President Michele Smith could be resolved. Fortunately, the two sides reconciled with enough time left to start plotting out strategies for the fall. ’ The big task that lay ahead of them was to put that new, complicated piece of paper they call a Constitution into some kind of working order. For one thing, the old Student Assembly, which was previously opened to anyone diligent enought to solicit 40 student signatures on a petition, was replaced by a network of smaller "task forces" (which nobody appears to understand), topped by a larger governing body called the Student Senate. It was to choose 12 representatives to the Student Senate that an election was held two weeks ago by SA. But the election, which had an expectedly poor turnout, was plagued by the typical squalling over who posted what information on their campaign signs, who should be disqualified, and whether the election should be invalidated. It's not bad enough the students have to witness this sort of child's play.every winter during the elections for SA officers, but to start off the year with an election that very few people really understand or care about and then to come up against these kinds of problems is a good way to- discourage participation in student government. It was just so much simpler to use the old 40-signature method at least it was a less oppressive means of attracting students to participate, in whatever capacity, in SA. unnecessary — So now, while SA officials are busy trying to salvage this election, precious time that could be devoted to issues like Women's Studies College, Affirmative Action, University planning, etc. is being wasted. After seven months, it still remains to be seen just how this SA administration can tie all the loose ends together and somehow come out with a strong, coherent government in time for the next election in March. - To the Editor. 1 would like to put into print my dissatisfaction with the, way the intercampus buses are being run. First, I have no complaint with the drivers. My argument lies with the people that make the routes the bus drivers are forced to follow. One thing 1 am very discontent with is the multitude of buses that terminate their journey at the Governors Residence Halls. What about the masses that reside in Ellicott, are they being treated fairly? All Ellicott-bound buses are forced to ride through that nauseating torture track that passes O’Brian and Governors instead of entering the campus through the “back door” and coming up right behind Ellicott. If these buses could come via the prementioned route, they could cut ten minutes from the trip and save a couple of stomachs in the the reduced fuel process, not to mention consumption that will resplt from the shorter trips. You would certainly appreciate my feelings if you had to wait for an Ellicott-bound bus in the pouring rain while three half-empty Governors buses went by. One time, a fairly large group of students started to seriously contemplate hijacking a Governors bus to Ellitott. It ' is quite lobvious that aside from students, these ridiculous inconveniencing the schedules also pose a possible threat to the drivers The Spectrum Monday, Editor-in-Chief - 29 September 1975 Amy Dunkin Managing Editor Richard Korman Gerry McKeen Advertising Manager Mike Niman someone I liked To the hdilor. Is it really necessary to give such exposure in our student newspaper to an item such as Miss Nude facilitate this process. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not opposed to nudity and sex at the right time and in the right place.

I generally regard my visual and/or physical contact with another person, sexually, as a fairly private affair, not for public consumption. I’m not necessarily opposed to sexual relationships between I’ve friends, or between almost complete strangers rarely turned down the opportunity to experience such relationships with a number of girls. But 1 would generally prefer this type of activity with - Vol. 26, No. 18 who are forced to carry them out. Wouldn’t it be a lot simple to just let the Governors buses go right through EUicott and out the back exit? Such a simple solution could avoid so many hassles. It would be much more efficient than having separate buses going to EUicott and Governors and it would be a lot fairer than just having separate buses going to Governors. A poor transportation system will defiantly encourage people to utilize alternate means of traveling between campuses, the most popular of which is the automobUe. Could you imagine what would happen to the already overburdened Main St. parking facilities if all of the cars belonging to EUicott residents suddenly showed up there one day? Also, could you imagine how much better the Main St. parking situation would be if the intercampus bus service was improved to the point where all Amherst residents would be encouraged not to use their cars and ride the buses. HopefuUy, the administration will take note of the ineffective transportation it now has and improve it. If it doesn’t, maybe one rainy day (which is every day in Buffalo) a large group of non-apathetic EUicott residents wiU board one of the notorious Governors-bound buses and just stay on, chanting, “Hell, no, we won’t go.” when the bus stops at Governors.

The name should have been Jill Siegel. The Spectrum regrets the error. Bill Fahy Mutiny on the Blue Bird Universe? This society attempts, at every turn, to exploit Correction Buffalo isn’t bad; it’s pretty decent, if you allow yourself to get into it a little. I hope The Spectrum, and you, devote more time and space to Buffalo, the people, police, politics (though I might care about its sports teams, it’s such a trivial issue to get heated up over) and its sports teams. If The Spectrum takes more time trying to understand the community, which I think you are doing instead of criticizing it, it might restore the relations between the community and the students. After all, we are the University. And if the students take a more positive approach, the community might just follow suit. It can’t hurt. To close, I congratulate you on taking the first of what can be many very constructive steps. You have the power, and it’s nice to see it being used for the community instead of molding student minds against it. This massive peeping-tom mentality that has permeated American culture, and perpetuated by the mass media, is degenerate! Now I’m not denying those people who don’t get enough visual or physical sexual contact the right to read, view or experience these activities. There are thousands of books, magazines and films that are produced for that, and some people will easily fulfill these desires. L must add, too, that McNicce’s photo does nothing to humanize the apparently attractive young lady. Rather his strange angle makes her breasts look meaning fantastic, bizarre, ludicrously grotesque - eccentric. ' Finally, while Miss Natividad claims to have “a brains,” besides her body, it seems questionable. Anyone who would fawn over that ignorant, sleezy, reactionary Ronald Reagan, can’t have too much upstairs. little Tom Blackstone Editor's Note: Our purpose in printing the article on Miss Nude Universe was to see where someone with such a unique title fits into the Women's Liberation movement today.

The comparison of current Chilean repression to Nazi-occuped Europe is strong stuff. The number of political prisoners in Chile is usually placed at a few thousand. Does this compare with Auschwitz and the rest? It is disturbing that a committee purportedly devoted to democracy would sympathize with the totalitarian Khmer Rouge. The N.Y. Times has quoted eyewitness Cambodian refugees to the effect that the Khmer Rouge have beaten former government soldiers to death with shovels and executed their wives; forced an entire population, including hospital patients, into the country for forced labor with inadequate medical and food supplies; and shot fleeing citizens dead at the borders of the country.

The Republican National Committee sent me a fund-raising letter recently, which consisted of a questionnaire on which one could check yes or no answers to a variety of wonderfully complex questions. 1 answered it and sent it back since I figured the post office could use the money, but 1 noted on the bottom that Ford was going to start having to worry about people more than Ronald Reagan for me to feel comfortable in even thinking about giving money, and that when it comes to state politics it was impossible for me to support an incompetent like Sen. Buckley. They will no doubt file it as a kook letter, but it did make my day. And, in closing, a word of comfort about that recent poll that showed Buckley beating a number of Democratic challengers. Besides the dubious quality of the poll itself, it leaves out the fact that Buckley will have to try to talk during any campaign. His brother can’t do all of it from him.

The TAA was outraged, called a meeting of graduate assistants, and threatened to go on strike if the bill was passed. The bill was withdrawn, but teaching assistants began discussing the possibility of forming a labor union to protect themselves against future encroachments. After considerable organizing, an election was held on campus where a significant majority of employed graduate students voted to have the TAA represent them. Now an official labor union, the TAA began negotiations with the University for, a contract in May of 1969.

Finally, after five weeks, the University met the union's demands, except for educational reforms, and the teaching assistants went back tq work. In February 1974. the TAA affiliated with the American Federation of Teachers, AFL-CIO, as (hey saw the necessity for wide labor support from teachers as well as other organized workers. At various times, the TAA has represented between 1,200- 2.000 teaching assistants. The Graduate Employees Organization, at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, trace its roots back to several unsuccessful attempts on the part of employed graduate students to protect their rights. The University administration contested Jhe election, claiming that teaching fellows were students, not employees, and thus not eligible to organize as a labor organization, and that if they were considered eligible, research assistants and staff assistants should be included. MERC upheld this second contention, and refused to hold a union representation election for the teaching fellows. By 1073, teaching fellows were notified the University that out-of-slate by residents would lose the lower in-state tuition rales they had paid previously, costing the non-Michigan'residents more than $ 1,700 annually, explained the union. |n addition, teaching fellows would not receive a pay increase, though the rest of the University employees were scheduled to receive a 5.5 percent wage increase. Finally, tuition rates were to be increased for all by "an average of 24 percent" as of September 1073. University opposition Organization is needed As school began, departmental meetings of graduate students were held, where the proposed changes were condemned, and departmental representatives were elected to a campus-wide Organization of Teaching Fellows, The University then reversed'its ruling, and granted the pay raise. \ Teaching fellows first attempted -to organize a labor union in 1971. Thirty percent of the University's teaching fellows singed petitions that were presented to the Michigan Employment Rjela|jons Commission (MERC), which are enough to require a union election. On the eve of a scheduled mass meeting demand the dropping of tuition increases, the University announced that a partial 'tuition rebate would be granted to teaching fellows. Yet, the University still failed to recognize the right of teaching fellows to form a union. As research assistants and staff assistants joined the organization, the name was changed to the Graduate Employees Organization. Finally, the union called a meeting to vote on staging a strike for recognition, and the University announced that it would allow the state to hold a union recognition election. Between April 1x3, 1974, the employed graduate students voted, by a two to one margin, to name the GEO their legal bargaining agent. After months of fruitless bargaining, the GEO also went out on strike. Undergraduates boycotted classes in support, and the Teamsters respected their picket lines, cutting off supplies and services to the University.

Tres Alamos is the camp where Laura Allende spent five months and it is Corvalan’s third prison camp in nearly two years of imprisonment under the military junta. Suffering from asthma, stomach ulcers and hemmorages, Corvalan was finally given an operation last August. However, one week after the operation. General Augosto Pinochet had him sent to Tres Alamos to “convalesce.” Corvalan has spent most of his time in solitary confinement on Dawson island, the coldest region of Chile, and at the concentration camp of Ritoque. His Chilean lawyer, Fernando Ostornol, has also been detained by the junta at Tres Alamos, and his American lawyer Stanley Faulkner,*has been denied permission to see his client. —continued from page 7— . . . So while other contestants at the Old Settlers Day Festival in Russel Springs, Kansas threw chips like frisbees or discuses, Watkins reared back and tossed his heavy, fresh chip like a baseball.

According to the French newspaper, Combat Chilean General Bachelet and the former minister of the interior, Jose Toha were murdered by the junta, and then declared to have died of “heart attacks.” What has prevented Luis Corvalan’s life from being taken by the junta has been the tremendous support he has received from progressive people around the world. Not only have workers, democrats, and communists demanded Corvalan's freedom, but also the the most pretigious international organizations, including twenty-eighth and twenty-ninth Assemblies of the U.N., the Huamn the World Commission of the U.N., UNLSCO, Rights Interparliamentary Union, and the International Organization ot , Labor.

Women’s hockey team loses 8-0 to Brockport by Joy Clark Staff Writer Spectrum “We were just outplayed,” commented coach Debbie Stotz after the Buffalo women’s field hockey team’s 8-0 loss to a strong Brockport squad Tuesday at Rotary Field. The loss coupled with a 1-0.triumph over Houghton last week gives Buffalo a 1-1 record this year. Brockport dominated the action in the first half, keeping the play down near the Buffalo goal. The Buffalo attack was disorganized, and seldom managed to get past the center line. “We didn’t work together well at all,” stated linewoman Clyde O’Malley. i In the second half, after gaining a substantial lead, Brockport sent out its second team to compete against the tired Buffalo players. With the fresh team, Brockport continued to dominate the game until the last three minutes, when Buffalo rallied to make an attack on the Brockport goal. Time, however, ran out before they could score. Sports Quiz t Blowing the whistle Many of the players thought the poor officiating affected the game, pointing out that at least two of the goals were offside. O’Malley complained that the officials blew their whistles too often. “Our momentum was broken every time they blew their whistles,” she declared. “They ruined the game with too many whistles.” Stotz cited late scheduling and too few qualified officials as the reasons for the poor officiating. “I got the schedule late,” she said, “and by that time, all the rated (qualified) officials had their schedules lined up." Rookie coach This is Stotz’s first season as field hockey coach. Carolyn Thomas did double duty as field hockey and basketball coach last year, but found it too difficult to handle both. Stotz, who graduated from Brockport, talked about the differences between Buffalo and Brockport, a so-called “jock school.” “At Brockport, the players were expected to attend every practice and every game. If they didn’t, then they didn’t get to play,” she commented, “Here, the coaches have to be more flexible because there are so many commuters. On this team, if the effort is 100%, then they’ll get to play.” Although she’s only been coaching for about two weeks, the players have much to say about Stotz. They say she has been working on the fundamentals during practics, and that she has a good attitude toward her job. “She wants to win, and she gets excited,” stated Pat Dolan. And Celeste Tripi commented: “She’s done a remarkable job, considering that she’s only been working with us for about a week.” ENERGETIC and INNOVATIVE BUSINESS MANAGER NEEDED With background in accounting and management Last week’s questions were a little tough, so give yourself a gold star if you answered all three questions correctly.

With about four minutes left, it looked like the Bulls would finally get a break as the Syracuse goalie slipped and Captain Jerry Galkiewicz had a wide open net in the face. staring him Unbelievably enough, though, he hit it wrong, and the ball, which looked as if it could have rolled in by itself, eluded the net.

Falkiewicz redeemed himself less than one minute later when he came right back to rip one through the net from the right side to tie the game 2-2. As the final seconds ticked away and the Bulls looked as if they would have to settle for a tie, Tompkins scored his second goal of the game to win it 3-2 for the Orange. It was a hard loss for the Bulls’ players, coaches and fans to swallow, as Buffalo hasn’t beaten The Orarfge since 1971, and really wanted this one. Coach Esposito was unavailable for comment, but Leninger, who played an excellent game at forward, seemed to echo the sentiments of other Bulls: “We shouldn’ve beat them. We outplayed them.” �Uw bull p«n by DavidJ.

Rotary Field remained the Bulls’ practice field, except on rainy days, when they moved indoors to the dirt floor where the swimming pool in Clark Hall is located now. Football returned to campus in 1955, because newly appointed President Clifford Furnas wanted to bring back the “college football atmosphere.” Furnas was always a staunch supporter of athletics, once running for the United States in the Olympics. The Bulls produced some excellent football teams following their return to Rotary Field. In 1958 they finished 8-1, to win the Lambert Cup, given to the best small college football team in the East.

Rotary to intercollegiate sports The Gelds’ track has seen occasional use, but the field itself has not been used by a Buffalo squad since football was discontinued in 1970. Rotary Field has been a part of the Buffalo campus since 1930, when it was donated to the school by the Rdtary Club of Buffalo, the little white building adjacent to it, originally a cow barn, served as the school s first gym until Clark Hall was built in 1938. The barn, which is used today as a maintenance and storage building, was originally built on the site that is now the Norton Fountain. But when Foster Hall was built in 1920, the barn was moved to its present location. Tuesday was the first Brrrr “There were two furnaces, but nothing to push the heat down to the other end of the gym," recalled Jim Peelle, who has been a member of the Athletic Department here since 1934. “There was no way to heal the water for the showers." Eventually, an oil heater was purchased for the old gym and the athletes were at least able to dry their equipment. in But the old barn was not much of a gym were no look There spacious. Clark Hall fact, it made bleachers of any kind around the basketball court, mainly because there were only about two or three feet around the edges of the court.

Unfortunately nothing of the old gymnasium Cries from the past When football was discontinued in 1970, Rotary Field fell into disuse, except for an occasional high school game. This year, the field was resodded and widened, and the soccer and women’s field hockey teams moved back in last week. And once again, the rhythmic chant of "'Let s Go Buffalo was heard - within the stadium. Clark Flail too, has a long and unusual history. The site was originally a pond, which the maintenance department used as a garbage dump. At one time, deer and pheasant were known to live in the undeveloped area around the pond, but as the garbage built up, the land became overrun by mice. Albert Schadle of the Biology Department, turned the dirty pond into a laboratory of sorts. Fie caught the rats, stenciled red numbers on their bellies, and set them free, for an experiment designed to see if rats migrate. The pond was drained and Clark Hall was built, using rock from a quarry behind Bennett High School Each rock was hand cut, in keeping with the architecture of the campus at that time, but that proved to be very costly. “If they had used bricks, they could have made it (Clark Hall) twice as big,” Peelle lamented. remains, the home of football game was Buffalo’s football teams.

Today, even so-called "non-technical” courses (psych, soc, bus ad, to name 3) require a variety of technical calculations—complicated calculations that become a whole lot easier when you have a powerful pocket calculator. Not surprisingly, there are quite a few such calculators around, but ours stand apart, and ahead. We started it all when we introduced the world’s first scientific pocket calculator back in 1972, and we’ve shown the way ever since. The calculators you see here are our newest, the first of our second generation. Both offeryou technology you probably won’t find in competitive calculators for some time to come, if ever. Our HP-21 performs all arithmetic, log and trig calculations, including rectangular/polar conversions and common antilog evaluations. It’s display is fully formatted, so you can choose between fixed decimal and. scientific notation. Our HP-25 does all that—and much, much more. It’s programmable, which means it can solve automatically the countless repetitive problems every science and engineering student faces. With an HP-25, you enter the keystrokes necessary to solve the problem only once. Thereafter, you just enter the variables and press the Run/Stop key for an almost instant answer accurate to 10 digits. Before you invest in a lesser machine, by all means do two things: ask your instructors about the calculations their courses require; and see for yourself how effortlessly our calculators handle them. Both the HP-21 and HP-25 are almost certainly on display at your bookstore. If not, call us, toll-free, at 800-538-7922 (in Calif. 800-662-9862) for the name of an HP dealer near you.

He was called into Attica on September 13. On that day, O’Day worked as a medic both in and around the prison hospital. After recounting the incident mentioned previously, he tearfully testified to another incident he thought was “criminal in nature,” committed by state officials against an inmate. He related how he had been carrying a naked black inmate on a stretcher back to the inmate’s cell, when he was told by a “small man in a green plaid army jacket” to put the stretcher down. The inmate had bandages on both hands and bullet wounds in the legs and buttocks. The small man dumped the inmate off the stretcher, pulled out a Phillips sctewctivet, and “stabbed the inmate five jo seven times right up the rectal area. The guards just looked the other way.” Brutality B. Kevin Burke was also a medic in the National Guard sent into Attica on September 13, 1971. He testified as to how nightsticks were used as clubs by the officers. “One officer held the inmate’s arms while the other correction officer hit the inmate about the head, shoulders, back, and so forth. A full arm snap of the wrist.” He also related how a doctor at the prison on September 13 would kick the wounded inmates in the shoulders, rib area, and stomach, and exclaim to the inmates, “You say you’re hurt, we’ll see how hurt you are. Take him back to his cell.” If an inmate protested, he was beaten, Burke contended. Burke stated that he witnessed continual beatings in the hospital area, hospital corridor area, and the administration building. Judge Ann T. Mikoll denied motions Monday to dismiss the case on the grounds that selective prosecution was practiced because only inmates have been indicted for crimes committed during the four-day rebellion in September, 1971. State crimes The defense motions had also charged coercion of testimony and cited parts of the Meyer Hospital medical report of injuries to inmates. Defense Attorneys Elizabeth Gaynes and Vincent Doyle, Jr. contended that crimes were committed against inmates by state officials during the aftermath of the uprising. They also claimed that the prosecution was both aware of these crimes and did nothing about them. Gaynes argued that of the 43 deaths which occurred at Attica, 39 are being ignored. Omowale, acting pro se [on his own behalf) on the common-law murder charge, claims he can identify the guard that shot him and then left him for dead. However, he has been unable to do so because prosecuting attorneys Francis Cryan and Charles Bradley have yet to produce the guard’s photograph. During the first two days of the hearing, which began Monday, Jomo stated that he had been shot once in the left side during the assault on the prison and after he was brought inside the D Block door by a fellow inmate, he was shot many times by a correction officer he knew while at Auburn Prison. Jomo wound up his testimony by revealing to the court the three-inch scar on his side, and the five bullet scars in his back that extend from his neck to his waistline. Friday, 26 September 1975 Overlooked days Mistake adds extra strain to trimmed University budget since “the rate of savings has been greater in the past few months than originally expected.” by Amy Dunkin Editor-in-Chief An inaccurate estimate of payroll requirements for the current fiscal year has cost the University an additional $220,000 in budgetary savings for 1975-76. Added to the $2,800,00 in savings previously calculated, this figure brings to over $3 million the total amount of money the University must save for the fiscal year ending April 1, 1976. A “savings” is an amount of money that simply may not be spent out of an approved budget, as opposed to a “cut,” where money is actually deleted from the budget, explained Charles Fogel, Assistant Executive Vice President. He said that while every state agency has a natural amount of savings in its budget to be used in areas where it expects “to be short,” this year the University was asked to save so much that “it can ill-afford the extra expense.” According to Edward Doty, Vice President for Finance and Management, the University’s budget and accounting offices did not adequately consider the fact that 1976 is a leap year with an extra day for which to pay. Additionally, he said a second day was overlooked, fording the University to come up with the money needed to meet payroll demands for two extra days. ' More limitations Doty explained that the savings would be absorbed primarily by the Academic Affairs, Health Sciences, and Maintenance divisions of the University. He noted, however, that Academic Affairs, which is the largest division and which will absorb the greatest proportion of the $220,000 savings, has had the “greatest difficulty in meeting budget limitations” this year.. Doty added taht the Maintenance division, which he heads, will have to spend $55,000 less than anticipated. The solution, he said, will be to “whack it out of the physical plan” by spending that much less on maintenance and physical upkeep of the UmVersity. He did not feel the cutback would seriously affecfhis division, though, since only less than half of the 1975—76 budget has already been spent. Carter Pannill, Vice President for Health Sciences, said the approximately $50,000 in savings required of his division is “not of grave concern” Positions remain vacant He said the problem will be approached in a “program by program fashion,” and it probably means Health Sciences will have to further postpone filling certain positions that have remained vacant up to this time. The Academic Affairs division will, distribute its $99,000 share of the savings among the various faculties anc Colleges, according to Robert Fisk, Acting Vice President for Academic Affairs. He termed it “premature” to specify any additional savings in the current budget until the Provosts and Deans consult with their own budget offices to determine if the “tentative targets” set at a Provostial Council meeting Tuesday, “are things they can meet and live with.” He did concede that Academic Affairs is considering such matters as postponing appointments, and cutting travel, telephone, and communications expenditures. Fisk stressed, however, that “every effort will be made to avoid cuts in the Colleges.” Fisk expects to report to Executive Vice President Albert Somit next Tuesday with the final details. Vulnerability Although Colleges Dean Irving Spitzberg said he was promised nothing would happen to the Colleges “unless he has the opportunity to defend them,” he was concerned that the Colleges were particularly “vulnerable” since many of their employees are either temporary or part time. The Colleges budget (totalling $350,000) is at “rock bottom,” Spitzberg said, and “any cut would require significant retrenchment.” Calculating that the cost per credit hour in the Colleges is $10 per student, he stated that “the average cost of over $50 per credit hour for other academic courses in the University “tells you what sort of bargain you get in the Colleges.” “It is very difficult to justify further savings in the Colleges,” Spitzberg said. “1 am hopeful that this is a University of reasonable people who will be persuaded by these arguments,” he concluded. Fogel complimented the various divisions on what has been done thus far to meet the immediate money situation. “I think we’re going to make it,” he observed. �Academic committee draws severe criticism from SA “SA does not want to rush headlong into matters as serious as these, commented Director for Academic A(fairs David Shapiro, who feels there is too little time to consider all pertinent data. Ketter expects to see preliminary results of the committee’s research in November, including a tentative list of programs to be phased out, changed, or left as they are. He indicated that a broader, more comprehensive set of recommendations will be followed soon afterward with a complete draft of an initial academic plan. By early March, a full report to the University community will be distributed and reactions will be solicited during March and April. A final set of recommendations will be submitted to Ketter at tlje end of the by Steve Milligram Spectrum Staff Writer A committee has been selected by President Robert Ketter to formulate an academic plan for the University by the end of the 1976 spring semester. The Committee is being co-chaired by Graduate School Dean McAllister Hull and History Department Chairman Clifton Yearly. The committee intends to take into consideration the views of both the University and the State University Central Administration in preparing its final recommendations. The Committee structure has already become the object of criticism. Student Association (SA) President Michele Smith said “the committee cannot possibly do an efficient, comprehensive job within the time limits set or by the means currently employed to gather data.” Although SA has not decided as yet which students to appoint to the Committee, no students have been “invited by the administration to present their views on the structure or substance of academic planning,” Smith said. spring semester. Smitlf referred to the academic planning committee at the State University at Binhamton, which has been operating for three semesters. AT Binghamton, one semester was devoted to developing criteria and survey instruments, the second to gathering data, and the third to evaluating ideas. Doomed She concluded that if this job is to be accomplished in one and one half semesters here, “it is clear that we are doomed to an inadequate job." Smith outlined some alternatives: to divide the committee into several committees, expand the committee’s time allowance, increase its membership, or all three. Student representatives to the committee have not yet been selected according to Smith *and Shapiro, because "we are taking some time in making this crucial choice.” They have requested additional student representation and are Evidence In a letter to Ketter, Smith charged that the committee will have to base its decisions solely on “evidence” compiled and presented by the administration. “The full review needed for a complete academic plan will not be done,” she declared. Smith also charged that the amount of time allotted to the Committee’s task, its workload, and its size are insufficient for it to fulfill its purpose. Hull, however, believes the Committee has sufficient enough time to complete its work responsibly, and that “any and all pertinent data” will be reviewed. “This will not be a committee that meets occasionally for coffee and cake,” he remarked awaiting a reply. The Committee has been charged by Ketter as follows formally “To develop and recommend an academic plan for the University at Buffalo consistent, with institutional goals and cognizant of possible resource availability; a plan responsible to the needs of both the University and its constituencies; and a plan sufficiently detailed to convey the future configuration of the University and to guide the University's budget development and resource allocation.

Ketter sets up three priority levels in deciding where resources should be directed. The highest priority goes to graduate and professional studies or “post-baccalaurette professional education.” Upper-division undergraduate education is the next priority, especially if the undergraduate , The Spectrum Friday, 26 September 1975 . . Lower-division undergraduate studies third and lowest priority, in Ketter’s view. on is the Specialization stressed its nature, exists “The University, by ultimately for specialization (although, through its odentist, or health science professional, f theory practice, not necessarily isolated or narrow specialization),” Ketter writes. This is a point that is bound to be debated since there are those who feel the University has traditionally had a “mad and beautiful conviction” that it can “teach everybody everything.” It may and also be pointed out that the word “University” comes from universe, meaning everything, toying with the idea of “regionalization,” Under this system, the and professional programs, Ketter seems to be ignoring the fact that the society really need the numbers of specialists he feels universities should provide. Not in society can be a doctor, lawyer, engineer, pharmacist, professor, teacher, dentist, or health science professional. does not apparently everybody Employment a measure Saving trouble Page two is continued here graduate or professional level. President Robert (setter's introduction to the Academic Plan for the University, published recently in The Reporter, follows in this University’s tradition of stacking the deck before making a vitally important deal. Basically, Ketter made graduate and professional studies the highest priorities in allocation of campus resources (including money), and downgraded the first two years of undergraduate studies in budgeting priorities. In addition, Ketter attacked unnamed parts of the University for their support of “undefined ‘relevance’,” called for faculty supremacy in determining courses of study, and hinted at the possibility of "general education” requirements’ here. The University-wide President’s Committee on Academic Planning is now being empaneled. To the chagrin of Michele Smith and other Student Association (SA) officials, there has apparently been little movement toward giving the committee the student members it is supposed to include. � is one that program h'Jitor In his report, Ketter emphasizes employability of graduates as a means for setting priorities for funding departments.

Students who are not registered to vote, or who will need absentee ballots, must act quickly to be able to exercise their franchise in the November elections, and in the presidential primaries next year. The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) is running a voter registration drive on several fronts of this campus, according to coordinator Jill Siegel. Voters who need absentee ballots must send in requests by Tuesday, September 30, for absentee ballot applications, before they can obtain the applications. The absentee ballot applications must then be completed and returned to the voter’s respective county clerks, postmarked no later than midnight, October 6. NYP1RG has arranged to set up tables in all the dormitories on Thursday and Friday night of this week, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the cafeterias, and from 10 p.m. to I am. in the vending areas, to promote voter registration. These tables will have the required request NVP1RG will stamp and mail the forms, and requests itself Two tables In addition, NYP1RG and the Student Association (SA) will set up two tables next week. These booths will be staffed Monday to Friday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. They will also be open on Monday, October 6, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Local residents can register at their polling places on October 3, 4, and 6. The voting booths will be open from noon to 7 p.m. on October 3 and 6, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on October 4. Any Buffalb area voter who is not sure of the location of his of her voting booth can find out by calling the Erie County Board of Elections. Students who turn 18 years of age after November 4, but before the date of the primaries, may still vote in the primaries, provided they register 30 days before the primary election Permanent registration Anyone who has previously registered in New York State is covered by the state’s permanent registration system, unless his or her legal address has changed, or if they have failed to vote in the last two years. One problem that students might run into concerns their legal residence. This can be successfully avoided by answering the “Occupation” question with “Unemployed.” Volunteers are still needed to assist with next week’s projects in Norton and Diefendorf Halls.

The New York Times reports that Admiral Pinheiro Azevedo has replaced Premier Vasco Goncalves, the composition of the Revolutionary Council has changed, and a new cabinet has been selected. It has interpreted the significance of these developments as being a step toward slowing up the Portugese revolution and as the “worst” defeat the Portugese Communist Party (PCP) has suffered since the Armed Forces Movement took power in April, 1974. The American media on the whole has consistently reported that the majority of the Portugese people are conservative and that a small minority, dominated by the PCP, has been trying to install a socialist “dictatorship.” So frequently has this been the interpretation of the Portugese revolution by the American media, that Tom Foley, a reporter for the Daily World, was able to predict before the new cabinet was even selected, that the bourgeois press interpret would the new government as a defeat for communist forces. U.S. media distorts The nature of Council, neither society.” Soares of the Socialist He also noted, according to Party, nor the Popular Le Monde, that growing “divorce Democratic Party has convinced between the people and the the military that they should AFM,” was endangering the bow out of the government. achievements df the revolution. In fact, according to Le The U.S. media only reported Monde, Soares’ statement that that not all who participated in the conservative General Spinola, assaults on PCP offices were reactionaries. His remarks who admitted participation in the attempted coup last March, concerning the basic direction of would be able to return to power Portugal were largely omitted. if he was willing to “play the game of democracy,” was Armed Forces guide The final point concerns the regarded with coldness by the selection of the new cabinet Revolutionary Council. According to The New members. According to Le Monde', York Times, the inclusion of should Spinola set foot in four socialists and two Popular be Portugal, he will arrested for Democrats as opposed to one his role in the attempted coup. Communist in the new cabinet is This may explain in part why a democratic development in so Soares was not given a post in far as it represents the the new cabinet. anti-communist sentiment of the people and as it represents the Unity needed will of the people as expressed in Also, the U.S. media has the elections to the constituent created the impression that the assembly of last year. officers in the Revolutionary This is partially true. The Council can resolve their inclusion of the Popular differences only through the use Democrats, who openly called of force. Although differences for the dissolution of the Revolutionary political in accord with news reports from European papers such as Le Monde and L’Humanite. According to the Daily World, misinformation in the U.S. press regarding Portugal is designed to foster hopes among reactionaries that the major reforms achieved by the Armed Forces Movement in unity with the people, will soon be reversed. Based upon reports in French papers, it is possible to clear up some of the surrounding changes in Portugal. confusion recent To consider the New Premier, Admiral Azevedo, as , being different from Vasco Goncalvcs is a mistake. Admiral Azevedo is a member of the naval forces, which according to the Daily World, has been the radically most active military supporter of Goncalves’ policies. Le Monde reported that upon office, GoncalVes said Azevedo has always “taken the correct positions” with respect to political decisions. leaving Build socialism Upon Azevedo’s appointment, both PCP and Intersindical, the National Trade Union Federation, gave their full support to him. In his public statements, according to l.e Monde, Azevedo declared that the goals of the new government would be the building of national unity and socialism, and the restoration of peace in the North, where PCP offices and trade union organizations have been assaulted by mobs. Also, the continuing presence of Costa Gomez as President has been a stabilizing factor throughout the governmental crises. According o L’Humanite, a plot in late August to overthrow the government was to have had both a military and a political stage to it. Militarily, forces that supported the dissident officers led by Melos Antunes, were to have seized all means of communication. Politically, Costa Gomez was to have announced in a declaration to the nation, that Premier Goncalves was dismissed. However, according to L’Humanite this plot failed due , to both the support wide Goncalves had in the military, and Costa Gomes’ refusal to dismiss Goncalves under those circumstances. And since that time, even the New York Times has noted, Costa Gomez has out carried the Goncalves government’s policy of the country’s nationalizing biggest financial and industrial combine, the Companhia Uniao Fabril, and that Costa Gomez has not wavered in his desire to achieve socialism in Portugal. The second point is that the locus of political power is still in the Armed Forces Movement (AFM). (Although divisions in the AI M have appeared, and this has been reflected in the changes in the of the membership have been apparent aregarding the development of Portugal’s foreign trade and the participation of political parties in the government, the U.S. media has distorted th ese differences. For example, after the appointment of Premier Pinheiro Azavedo, one of the leading “moderate” General officers. Charais gave an interview, which was reported in Le Monde. His main comments were that “The solution arrived at and the mean who are now in the Revolutionary Council today are the guarantee that we are looking to attain the objectives of the Armed Forces Movement; national independence and the construction of a socialist military considered government, can be a type of compromise military to dissident by the political forces. However, it is clear even in The New York Times that President Costa Gomez left little doubt as to why Popular Democrats and socialists were given cabinet posts. They were included to insure that all of the major political forces in Portugal participate in the construction of a socialist society in Portugal. This fundamental goal is in no way opposed to the goals of the PCP or to communists anywhere in the world. To interpret the new Portugese government as a backlash against communism only serves to misinform the public.

In fact, Time magazine recently rated Buffalo as the 15th most livable city in the United States. Buffalo's "success" is hardly as attributable to Niagara Falls or Lake Erie as much as to the many concerned citizens who have worked hard and long each year to bring the city together. It has been a conscious effort, 'tis true, and a commercial one (this past WQFM continually reminded us that Buffalo is Delaware Park, souvlaki, and Buffalo is STEEL), but an effort that has attracted the attention of more than one previously unenlightened summer person. How many cities do you know stage a multi-media tribute to the working class on the steps of City Hall and in the streets around it? Or how many use their giant sports stadiums for an annual series of rock concerts? Allentown, perhaps more than any particular section, has contributed its share to the revitalization of Buffalo. The Allentown Arts Festival has become an eagerly-awaited event, an outdoor "blockparty" each summer, attracting throngs of visitors to the artistic displays that line Delaware Avenue and the surrounding streets. And now, for the first time, the merchants and store owners have pooled their imaginations together to create Allenfest, a three day celebration of the Allentown community which encompasses music, dance, and art and photography exhibits. The producers of Allenfest are proud of what Allentown has to offer the people of Buffalo and they deserve the support and recognition of the University community. Some time between today and Sunday, make your way down to Allentown and find out why Buffalo really ain't such a bad place to be.

Actually the committee that he refers to proceeded carefully and conscientiously with (1) a College E? In terms of accurate reporting, Mr. Kerr ranks somewhere between Joseph Goebbels and Parson Weems. Lynn Rose More facts about Chile To the Editor In reply to Peter llornik’s letter in the September 22 issue of The Spectrum, inaccuracies, the regime of Salvador Allende was overthrown, not by a popular resistance movement, but by a military coup. However, the Unidad Popular government was undermined, directly and indirectly, by the policies and actions of the U S. government and large corporations. A credit blockade, initiated by the U.S., sabotaged the Chilean economy. Behind the scenes, the C.I.A. financed anti-government strikes and plots to assassinate key government figures. The inflation under Allende never was 800 percent; it was 22 percent in 1971, in 1972, 300 percent in Sepi Jan. 1973, and workers were compensated for inflation by increased salaries, food supplements (free milk to children), and free health care clinics. The vast majority of workers supported Allende. Inflation under the Junta has been 200 Dec. 1973, 370 percent in 1974, percent Sept. and will be worse this year. The World Bank says that real inflation in 1974 was 600 percent. Real wages of workers have been cut 50 percent since the coup. Unemployment under Allende was 3-4 percent. Now it is 20-25 percent. Mr. Hornik’s reference to a “Gallup Poll” among Chileans in which people conducted responded overwhelmingly in favor of the military regime is an insult to anyone acquainted with the situation of the Chileans today. The reports of the — — Arts HIU ' Only four years and two weeks after the bloodbath that occurred at Attica prison, a New York State governor has finally come to his senses. Governor Hugh Carey told an audience in Rochester Wednesday that he would take steps to grant amnesty to inmates indicted for the 1971 uprising if it is proven that possible police crimes were ignored by the prosecution. (Let us not forget that his predecessor, the man who ordered the National Guard to converge on the prison, quit his job, skipped town for Washington, D.C. and hasn't been seen or heard from since.) Ironically, Carey's statement came on the same day that two former National Guardsmen, the first to testify on behalf of an Attica defendant, were describing in vivid detail the acts of brutality committed by law officers in September, 1971. In addition, Judge Ann T.

Criticism of the regime can result in imprisonment, torture, even death for Chileans. Under these circumstances, such a poll has neither validity nor credibility. The repression in Chile finds no comparison in the world today. The situation is similar to that in Europe during the Nazi occupation. The Chilean Resistance is supported by the overwhelming majority of the population, as was the European Underground in its time. Mr. Hornik suggests that the Khmer Rouge are more repressive than the Chilean military. The U.S. dropped hundreds of thousands of bombs on Cambodia for five years, and for several years did so in secrecy. The Khmer Rouge had had to avoid mass starvation in the cities after the Americans left, and are trying to reconstruct a society devastated by the U.S. military. Continual reports of “bloodbaths” in the .U.S. press, citing “Western intelligence sources” (C.I.A.), are unsubstantiated by eyewitness reports from Cambodia. Mr. Hornik is correct in perceiving some relationship between the Chilean and Cambodian situations. In both instances U.S. imperialism is at the root of the present problems faced by these societies. In Cambodia it is reponsible not only for the destruction of the traditional way of life, but also for the U.S. military’s wholesale bombing of people, towns, and fields. In Chile it is clear that without the support of U.S. goverment and capital the military junta would not have come to power and could not now remain in power. are Buffalo Committee for Chilean Democracy �iHiSBii by Bill Maraschiello Arts Editor Several years ago I was asked, in all seriousness, who Sherlock Holmes was.

They are embellishments to the myth, not the myth itself. Who, indeed, is Sherlock Holmes? Having seen The Hound of the Baskervilles, the 1939film version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's most famous Holmes story, I feel certain that I know Sherlock Holmes is Basil Rathbone. Ever since he first donned the mackintosh and deerstalker's cap in Hound, no one who has ever seen Rathbone as Holmes has ever doubted it . — — All the angles In "A Study in Scarlet," Dr. Watson describes Holmes Great mysteries You mean you don't know who Sherlock Holmes is? In height he was rather over six feet, and so excessively lean that he seemed to be considerably taller. His eyes were sharp and piercing. . . and his thin, hawk-like nose gave his whole expression an air of alertness and decision. His chin, too, had the prominence and squareness which mark the man of determination. From that description, anyone could identify Rathbone. He has it the piercing eyes; the tall, lean frame; the sharp features. And, most important of all, he made us believe that his mind was even sharper than that angular, formidable face. From his first moment on screen, Rathbone has us unshakably brilliant and ice-cold, convinced of the presence of that intellect unencumbered by emotional frailty; the supreme triumph of ego over id. It's nearly impossible not to admire Holmes, but there is never any sense of personal warmth in him. His is the mirage of the perfect Victorian father. all - — a Holmes' task here is to phantom hound that has investigate the "curse of the Baskervilles:" supposedly killed one of them and which threatens the heir to the house. (If you're familiar with the plot, bear with me; there are those not as fortunate.) Holmes being busy in London (don't you believe it), off goes his trusty companion Dr. Watson to Baskerville Hall, situated in the middle of the most foreboding landscape of studio wasteland and fake fog you could imagine. Dr. Watson, played by Nigel Bruce, contrasts the Holmes almost more fuddled as if by a London fog. Bruce's Watson is, in fact, far less clear-headed than Doyle's Watson, a totally. Watson is softer, older, does the character some harm. 15 minutes or so in which he operates independently of Holmes clarify that Watson is solid and dependable when it comes to change which But the scratch, if unusually unimaginative. So we have Holmes and Watson. But the legend is neither; it's Holmes and Watson. And one of the best things about the film Hound is that the magic chemistry between Holmes and Watson is preserved in ever-apparent contrasts between them notwithstanding. a team is old hat, but one often wonders what two such characters see in each other. Rathbone and Bruce, and the tact, Contrast in unalike therefore Holmes and Watson, are a perfect match. Quick, Watson, the strudel "Atmospheric" is perhaps the best and most complimentary word for the film as a whole. Hound and its sequel. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, spawned a series of Holmes films, all with Rathbone and Bruce, which transplanted the sleuth into contemporary time the 1940's. In lieu of Professor Moriarty's syndicate of evil, Sherlock Holmes was pitted against the Nazis. And the series lost the atmosphere — of the first two — not just the chill humors of the Baskerville moors, but the entire aura of Victorian England. Hollywood, however, always tends to react to "British" subjects (no pun intended) with more pretension than necessary. Much of the acting is over-theatrical, the major exceptions beion Lionel Atwill, the Grand Duke of B-picture actors (Hound was a rare "class" appearance; he deserved more of them) and Richard Greene, the appealing leading man who- inexplicably gets top billing over Rathbone.

If it is fear of others' technical or spiritual inadequacy with unfamiliar material, does not a playwright run the same risk? New patterns needed The tenfold increase in the last ten years of the dance audience — pieces in only two years. Major choreographers knew them and their work and were willing to do new pieces for them or give them 13 works they'd already done different pieces, so that no single choreographer would dominate - the company, even when it grows into 5X2 and Friends. Last Friday evening at the Studio Arena Theater, the 5X2 performed its usual five pieces, three duets and one solo by each dancer this time. The company had to cope with a small but the obnoxious element in audience, and the bad floor, narrow thrust, and short diagonals of the Arena stage.

Some of the six pieces had not been performed in 30 years until Becker recreated them in performance. The work had a minstrel feeling to it, but with a simplicity and openness which Becker never handled appropriately, indulging himself or moving into parody. His control of tone was masterful, and it was wonderful to see that the reputation of Becker's performance was warranted.

In thir film, however, the blood spills in Tennessee with no historical basis at all, for only in the realm of fiction can such an American Dream come true. Framed presents the classic case of a powerless man framed for murder. His victim, a sheriff's deputy, is duly revenged, as even the defendant's lawyer refuses to believe 'twas all in self defense. Our hero's paranoia rages as the camera reveals quick nods in the D.A.'s office, knowing glances at the station-house, and inaudible directives given to the prison guards while he awaits admission. So Louis is locked up for four years, neatly allowing for a short expose of prison life. Once again it is the injustices which define the system, prompting Louis to swear double revenge for the four years of his life which he feels were murdered. Violence runs rampant in this movie, and the fact that producers can depend on action films like these to attract audiences over and over again is tragic. Almost as revolting is the good-natured laughter generated in the audience. The film does not employ violence to prove a point; it is the point. metal Louis is fighting coemption and inequality, with the aid of a black deputy who is fighting to reform racists, but the battles are personalized ones, honed down to an even finer level than that of "man against man." Edgar Allan Poe is brought to mind as each fight culminates in the decimation of another sensory organ; it's face-to-face combat. Then, to please everyone in the audience, there are dso a rape and a threatened castration. In keeping with the Sexy ********** theme, the pistols in this picture seem sexier than the stars. Louis insists that man is innately good. Cast as a muscular but tender Jonathan Winters type, his virtue is believable. His co-star (whose performance is rivaled only by that of the unseen bird that does a number on her bleached-blonde permanent) delivers all the pseudo-philosophic, annoying lines. She ineloquently preaches doom, and is proven accurate only once. (The line actually reads, "You two have reduced everything to an animal level!" And, shortly thereafter, the mayor is torn apart by his own Dobermans.) Clean-up campaign But Louis does triumph. With his girl's encouragement, he remains in town after collecting enough evidence to indict all the local officials, a few judges, and the district senator who had hoped to run for governor that fall. The vacuum Louis has created happily suggests that his assistant may very well become the town's first black mayor. to be canned. It is Framed deserves super saturated with Contemporary Issues, which are presumably included for mass appeal. But the issues are just stuffed in whenever they are remotely relevant, often destroying the rhythm of the movie and suspending the plot, which is at best suspenseful, and at worst, demands conclusion. What proves to be violence and greed, blatantly relevant is the pillage-and-plundering. The final condemnation lies in the fact that what ultimately brings a smile to Louis’ face and establishes the happy ending is not his heroic purification of the system, but the recollection of how much bribery, pay-off, kickback, and graft money he has managed to steal from these politicians' offices. In 1975, peoples' dreams still come true. by Randi Schnur Arts Editor Watching a play from the front row of a large theatre can be an unnerving experience for those of us who are hooked on illusion. It s something like visiting Universal Studios in Hollywood, or spending time with someone else who knows, and finding out that what you've seen and believed on movie screens all these years really isn't happening The at all. (Remember that short film on television a few years ago Making of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, I think it was called in which it was proven once and for all that the dizzyingly deep canyon into which Butch and the Kid made their death-defying leaps were actually a well-braced wooden platform about three feet below the - - "cliff?" How was that for a rude awakening?) No, Virginia, despite what we've all been telling you, there is no Santa Claus it's just Daddy with lots of pillows. Seen in close-up, live theatre for large audiences can be either a real education or a grotesque nightmare of exaggeration, depending upon how one is inclined to look at it. The heavy grease make-up, lighting designs, costume effects, and gestures meant to send their collective message out to the second balcony seem garish and overdone a few feet away. Under these conditions, it is only in the very finest productions that artifice does not ultimately detract from art. - Non-movie The American Film Theatre's restaging of Eugene O’Neill's 1939 classic The Iceman Cometh, originally produced for the A.F.T.'s first subscription series two years ago but revived last week at the Evans and Holiday Theatres, has one major flaw: it is not really a movie at all, but rather a play recorded on film. From Roman Polanski's Macbeth to Peter Weiss' Marat/Sade, recent screen adaptations have demonstrated what is possible when well-known dramatic literature is translated into the technological language of the cinema. The eerily breath-talcing landscapes caught in Polanski's wide-angle lens and the maniacally shifting angles of Weiss' camera contributed more to the uniqueness of their visions than did nearly anything else. Scottish Under John Frankenheimer's direction, though. Iceman is static and very, very slow. (True, the film with its two intermissions runs for over four hours, even with the rather pointless exclusion of one minor character, saloonkeeper Harry Hope's brother-in-law Ed; but length will never be a satisfacotry excuse for ponderousness.)

Lee Marvin's Hickey, however, expresses virtually desperately nothing; there is no feeling in his portrayal of guilt-ridden murderer, from whose character much of the play's intensity should emanate.

The question of what to do is easily answered by the wide variety of activities available on campus. particularly those Films, sponsored by the University Union Activities Board (UUAB), are by far one of the most popular forms of entertainment, and the long lines outside the Conference Theatre on any given weekend night attest to this. The UUAB Fine Arts Film Committee strives to present a variety of motion pictures that will satisfy all tastes.

Relations of media to man The Center for Media Studies, and its director, Gerald O'Grady, are beginning "to create a new context for education." Media Studies program was 0'Grady's 1972. Its courses presently established in concentrate on three areas (eventually leading to both graduate and undergraduate degrees): 1) the making of films and video tapes; 2) the history, theory and analysis of media forms; and 3) the psychic and social effects of media. The Center appoints its own faculty from among applicants who have shown expertise in some visual medium. People like James Blue, Hollis Frampton, Brian Henderson, Paul Sharits and Woody Vasulka are already involved in courses on the uses of film and video. Media Studies focuses on analyzing the relation of media to the social and human evolution of man, mass communications in relation to society, the development of media-oriented curricula, and the critical history and understanding of the media. its massive infiltration of electronically-produced images on equipment small enough to be used in the home. Before even entering school, the average child views some 15,000 hours of TV, with another 10,000 hours added on during the school years. We can safely say, therefore, that our culture is being humanly and transmitted in two ways: studies It is interesting to note that the majority of work in the study of media is being done in the United States, with some,studies coming out of the United Kingdom. Reasons for this sudden interest include affluence and the technical revolution, with video. Revolutionary electronically. O'Grady explains that if we are to educate effectively, we must keep consciousness, codes (words and symbols) and social structure in mind. This is the "new context for education" toward which O'Grady is striving. The structure he envisions is built around an awareness of one very basic fact: the mind changes, and with these changes in consciousness comes a direct interaction with the other two aspects of human beings. Next year Media Studies will be a separate unit at this University. As of now, it is listed under the English Department, with the majority of its courses dealing with the experimental aspects of film and Anyone interested in majoring in Media Studies is advised to find out about the Special Majors Program here, until the degree programs are established. —Philip Press ; announced).

The actual villain of Badlands isn't either Martin Sheen or Sissy Spacek, who play the two lovers who drift into murder. Its carefully detailed thesis is that mass commercialization, as it enters the fifties in which the film is set, is dehumanizing us all. Malick's first film, and only one to date, is notable in its control and consistency. Until Nashville, Thieves Like Us was generally figured as Robert Altman's masterpiece, despite its being the least commercially successful of Altman's films. Its tale of two young thirties bank robbers is enacted in a misty, muted tone that only McCabe and Mrs. Miller, of Altman's other films, shares at all.

I think Americans have a special place in their hearts for the trivial, ugly and useless detritus of an industrial society in which if something is not ugly when it is new, it will certainly attain that favored status when it is old and useless. At this very morpent, there is someone "growing" old Cadillacs in an abandoned Texas cottonfield (he buried a fact which I them half-way, fins jutting into the sun) can never avoid conflating in my mind with a picture I once saw of Andy Warhol clutching a hideous ceramic cookie jar (he collects them) and smiling like an idiotic canary. Junk, I think it is safe to say, has brightened quite a few otherwise intelligent lives. There is a stubborn and consistent "crap factor" in the American cultural and artistic diet which is only beginning to be recognized. Take it from me, that's the wave of the future. It's not plastics anymore; it's crap. In presenting the reading public with his latest attempt at the novel form, Willard and His Bowling Trophies: A Perverse Mystery, Richard Brautigan has played on the currency of the "crap factor" in interesting ways; first, he has plundered two remaining categories of popular-writing magic he left untouched after dealing with the western, science fiction and the gothic in Hawkline Monster, his last book. In Willard he develops the possibilities of soft pornography and the murder mystery. As with the Hawkline categories, Brautigan necessarily molds perversion and mystery together here in such a way that neither is completely recognizable or true to itself. The mystery is not terribly mysterious (no locked room puzzles here) and the perversion is not terribly perverse (in Brautigan's phrase, it is "awkward sadism"). Willard is a brief, modest hybrid: simply a "perverse mystery." 11"is redeemed crap. Second, Brautigan has acknowledged the "crap factor" by investing a ridiculous piece of artistic junk with merit beyond simple delight in the ugly and the useless: Willard, the speechless hero of this tiny book, a long-legged — bird pnade out of papier-mache, paint and rags, is not only a first-class piece of junk, but he PS* tWr center of imaginative power in the story. He is literally-constructed out of an artist's happy dream and in turn he enables an otherwise plain and adequate couple to engage in harmless fantasy. Patricia antfJohn live somewhere in San Francisco and even though their apartment is not much to look at (two chairs and a couch, a phonograph and a television set that — ' didn't work), the presence of Willard enlivens the atmosphere and makes it pleasantly absurd. He keeps company with about 50 bowling trophies (which John found in an abandoned auto in Marin County) and even — shine a little grace on these "statues of silver manages and gold little men who were pitching little balls with their hands and seemed happy doing so." Willard, in fact, is a kind of dumb salvation for the bowling trophies; previously they had been locked up in a cabinet of "wooden gold" and stared at by the Logans, an idiotic family whose specialties are bowling (the three sons), to baking (the mother) and transmissions (the father). In determining the locus of benevolent fantasy in the apartment house, Willard not only makes life pleasant for John and Patricia and the bowling trophies, but also, in the end, saves them from being murdered. The three Logan brothers, championship small-town bowlers, have been searching for their stolen bowling trophies for three years (in Kansas they looked under bridges and in wheat fields) and have finally narrowed the field to San Francisco, where they wait in seedy rage for a magic phone call. For most of the book, the reader is waiting for the phone call too, so the brothers (all, to various degrees, — filthy, corrupt and mad) can go about their business and end the book with a murder or two. Of course, it is to be completely senseless murder, stupidly conceived and carelessly executed in the best West Coast fashion. Who the victims will be is clear from the start In the apartment upstairs from John and Patricia live Bob and Constance. They inhabit beautiful bodies (not tike John, who is slightly overweight, or Patricia, whose body is "adequate") and sex at one time "had been to them like having a beautiful picnic in a field of comets." But Constance, celebrating the publication of her first (and vaginal last) novel, picked up a wierd venereal disorder from a lawyer she met at a party. For a while she warts and Bob are reasonably happy with alternate sexual eventually including some amateur and practices that is, until Bob innocent variations on The Story of O acquires the parallel male disorder penile warts which are practically incurable. From then on their life becomes an empty sham: she silently wishes for a vacation from sex and The Greek from which Bob now constantly reads Anthology meaningless fragments out loud. He is rapidly becoming mentally and physically incapable of the simplest human actions. More, he feels sexually exiled and is in a constant state of vague sadness. It is easy to assume that if Bob and Constance had any power of imagination or fantasy outside of repetitive and unsatisfying sexual acts found in a single book that is, if they had Willard (or "someone" like him) to give life that keen air of absurdity and fun so necessary to Brautigan's they would be saved previous (and more gentle) worlds themselves, but from the not only from metaphor-made-reality of senseless destruction: the — — blundering and dangerous Logan brothers. — — — — - — — Willard and His Bowling Trophies is not less humorous than his previous books, but by examining soft porn and the mystery story, by inventing the poignantly modern troubles of Bob and Constance, and by creating the eerily twisted evil of three bowling champions gone berserk, Brautigan has left less room for humor. Willard, of all his books, is closest to real life and real times. I find myself wishing for Greer and Cameron of Hawkline Monster, for their casual and expert kind of murder, for their relaxed and consistent sexual prowess, and for their stupid courage. I wish all the harder when Brautigan proves he can invent the likes of the Logan brothers, whose search for America • has shrunk to a murderous search for a pointless end. —Corydon Ireland Our Weekly Reader Send for with just Get your new Metro Bus route map about everything you need to know to ride all by sending through Erie and Niagara Counties a self-addressed, business-size envelope with 20<t postage to Metro Bus, 855 Main St., Buffalo 14203, or pick up a map free at the office 1 — — Pul a little money in a Mel~o Bus and you can go a long, long way. metro bu/A Neil D.

Unfortunately, the results of AH the Moves are not nearly as impressive as the reason. The book begins with an interesting section describing the invention of basketball and its early development. Unfortunately, even this chapter is marred by poor writing; for instance. Dr. James A. Naismith, the game's inventor, named 13 rules to govern play, only eight of which the author mentions. From there, the quality of the book goes rapidly downhill it becomes a long list of names, places, scores and dates. The reader is constantly jolted with a string of names, preceded by the words "such stars as . ."

If we were so familiar with the stars of bygone eras, we probably wouldn't be reading a history of them. The book's best feature is its illustrations. Not just the superstars are pictured, but many "lesser stars" too. There is even a picture of Jackie Robinson in a UCLA uniform, along with a bit of trivia: he led the Pacific Coast Conference in scoring in 1940. The action shots are enough to make a true basketball fan jump out of his skin. To mention a few, we see David Thompson blocking (from behind) a shot by Bill Walton, we see Lew Alcindor towering over everyone else (and the backboard too) as he blocks a shot, and we see Adolph Rupp in tears, after coaching his last game for the.

If you enjoy basketball, you already know a book can never capture the excitement of a collegiate game. —Paige Miller 26 September 1975 The Spectrum Page eleven . . �Toward repertory... joyfully, it was always with the awareness that she would again despair; there was a marvelous suspension of glory and disillusion in the air and Kominsky's face and body. She seemed totally unself-conscious as a dancer. She has no ability to fake a phrase, and that sometimes works to her disadvantage. With a company of only two, everything reads there is no place to hide, and these two dancers' ability to keep their concentration nearly complete was no small achievement. As dancers, they are relaxed, with a sureness coming from more than just knowing their material. They shine through their material as people. 'They have no narcissism; they give, which is easy, but they do it without pandering. ; Great beginnings The narrow stage did not help this wide-open piece very much. What Becker handles with real the is elegance moment-to-moment concourse of of emotions and change when the two dancers dance together, which is usually the hardest thing to handle. This piece will grow and improve. Becker has learned now the hardest things first, will go back to clarify. The evening closed on a light note, "A Cold Sunday Afternoon, A Jittle Later,'"by Cliff Keuter, about what happens when the landlord fails to turn on the heat. —continued from page 8— Other choreographers in the repertory whose works were not shown include James Waring, Daniel Nagrin (Becker's uncle) and Jose Limon. Buffalo continues to have enthusiastic audiences for dance, and we hope that everything possible will be done to keep companies coming in. —Hear O Israel For gems from the JEWISH BIBLE Phone 875-4265 — , "Suite Bruce Becker’s Richard," based on Shakespeare's Richard III, was the longest ballet of the evening and Becker's first, completed only this year. The newcomer to choreography tends to put everything he knows into his first work, and so the piece was thick with wonderfully executed movement but lacked a clear definition of the relationship between Richard III and Lady Anne, whom he seduces, marries, and then murders.

Pink Floyd is back on the space odyssey. As you have possibly deduced from hearing it on your radio or turntable (or coming from five places at once in your dorm), Wish You Were Here is a pretty good album, and getting the reception it deserves. The band seems to have finally tied it all together meaning that the abstract textures, epic progressions, and general insanity oft their early albums have been combined with the good lyrics, fine instrumentals and excellent production of their most recent. If that last sentence sounds like an overdone list of superlatives, pick any two (I'm not even a Pink Flod fan). During the last two and a half years, Floyd loyalists and detractors alike have speculated as to how could they the quality of their next release possibly top the vastly succesfful Dark Side of the Moon If I'm not mistaken (or just sick of the last one), the band has been using the long interlude well, creating something a bit better.

Flo and Eddie are the aliases of a two some of debauched ex Turtles. You remember the Turtles, California sunshine, "Happy Together" and their immortal rendering of Robert Zimmerman's "It Ain't Me Babe." If you do recollect those exquisite golden moments of the past, paste a gold star on your lapel and consider yourself a master of trivia. But you may not call to mind the Turtles' meanest feat. The alleged feat transpired at a gig the Turtles were playing at the White House. It was a party for one of Dick Nixon's Barbie-Doll daughters and the aforementioned Flo and Eddie snorted up a quantity of Siggie Freud's favorite drug under a portrait of one of the founding fathers. This act was certainly illegal, probably immoral and perhaps fattening. Illegal, Immoral and Fattening just happens to be the name of Flo and Eddie's latest release. It is a sordid collection of what used to be referred to as risque or blue in the old days.

All things considered, this album contains the best lyrics to be found on any Pink Floyd album.

Dominated by the nine-part "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," the album demonstrates a well-realized muscial concept. Side one is opened Denver's member.

If the only way you can get your rocks off is to listen to a vulgar assortment of mindless skits. Illegal, Immoral and Fattening might satisfy you. I tend to doubt it though. What might be passable as a live act is merely an exercise in tedium on vinyl. The condescending attitude of Flo and Eddie pricks the surface They believe like P.T.

A Flock, Inside Out (Mercury) Here's a new one for you, kiddies. Flock. The whatever. A recently un-disbanded band Flock from Chicago, Flock had two moderately successful albums during the mid-late heavy metal sixties. Their claim to fame was in the person of their former violinist, Jerry Goodman, who eventually hooked up — with John McLaughlin, et. al. Their latest edition. Inside Out, includes two new musicians and a sound catering to the tastes of what has come to be known as a "progressive" audience. Mike Zydowsky, replacing Goodman, and keyboardist Jim Hirsen join veteran Flock members Fred Glickstein (guitar), Jerry Smith (bass), and Ron Karpman (drums) on an album which is, at times, fresh and exciting, and at other times, inately boring. Such is life in progressive rock. Inside Out is influenced mostly by Mahavishmu-type progressions, and also strains reminiscent of late-period Electric Light Orchestra. Detrimental to the quality of the album is the use of long-winded jams, which tend to put the listener to sleep. However, there are a few bright spots, particularly on "Metamorphosis," and "Straight Home," which close each side of the album. There are strong hints of a new style of jazz which is beginning to take hold in the seventies. It is music to take note of, for the future of rock is inevitably pointed in this direction. Some people will not like this album, mainly those who listen to muzak or playlist radio stations simply because they want some type of sound filling the silent parts of the day. They won't listen to music they might not immediately understand because they're afraid they might learn something. Groups like Flock deserve to be heard and learned from.

Despite public uproar, he will again be forced to pick the Bills to lose and the Jets to win. Pittsburgh is the class of the AFC, but Pittsburgh 24. Buffalo 20 - will make them prove it. New Orleans won’t win a game Cincinnati 27. New Orleans 13 make a difference. until it’s too late to Atlanta 21, Detroit 17 Falcons just missed upsetting St. Louis last week. This week they will make amends. One week does not a season Los Angeles 17, San Francisco 10 make. The Rams are still tops in the NFC West. the Bills - - - Plunkett-less Pats plod along against a 23. New England 9 Miami team seeking revenge for last week’s loss to Oakland. Vikings will win a few games before Minnesota 32, Cleveland 16 Miami - somebody upsets them. Giants were surprisingly good Washington 23, New York Giants 21 against Philadelphia, but the Redskins will not be stopped that easily. - New York Jets 35, Kansas City 17 Jets rebound after being creamed by Buffalo. Colts are better than expected, but still Oakland 27, Baltimore 17 with can’t compete Oakland. - Both teams were disappointing last Chicago 20, Philadelphia 12 a week. Neither one deserves to win this week. But the Wizard had nice time in Chicago once. The Doomsday Defense will not be as St. Louis 30. Dallas 20 fortunate against Jim Hart as they were against James Harris last week. Surprising Oilers go 2-0 as their Houston 22, San Diego 14 improved team dumps this year’s patsies, the Chargers. - Looking more like knights of the round table than college students, members of Buffalo's varsity fencing team displayed their swashbuckling talents in the Fillmore Room Wednesday night. The fencers dueled with each of the three weapons used in collegiate fencing; the epee, the sabre, and the foil. The demonstration was staged not only to publicize the team, which has been extremely successful over the years, but to get other students interested enough to tryout for the squad.

The Hewlett-Packard HP-21 Scientific $125.00* The Hewlett-Packard HP-25 Scientific Programmable $195.00* The calculations you face require no less. Today, even so-called "non-technical” courses (psych, soc, bus ad, to name 3) require a variety of technical calculations —complicated calculations that become a whole lot easier when you have a powerful pocket calculator. Not surprisingly, there are quite a few such calculators around, but ours stand apart, and ahead. We started it all when we introduced the world’s first scientific pocket calculator back in 1972, and we’ve shown the way ever since. The calculators you see here are our newest, the first of our second generation. Both offer you technology you probably won’t find in competitive calculators for some time to come/ if ever. Our HP-21 performs all arithmetic, log and trig calculations, including rectangular/polar conversions and common antilog evaluations. It’s display is fully formatted, so you can choose between fixed decimal and scientific notation. Our HP-25 does all that—and much, much more. It's programmable, which means it can solve automatically the countless repetitive problems every science and engineering student faces. With an HP-25, you enter the keystrokes necessary to solve the problem only once. Thereafter, you just enter the variables and press the Run/Stop key for an almost instant answer accurate to 10 digits. Before you invest in a lesser machine, by all means do two things: ask your instructors about the calculations their courses require; and see for yourself how effortlessly our calculators handle them. Both the HP-21 and HP-25 are almost certainly on display at your bookstore. If not, call us, toll-free, at 800-5B8-7922 (in Calif. 800-662-9862) for the name of an HP dealer near you.

Tolkien’s Middle-Earth, Arthur Clarke’s Rama, and Frank Herbert’s Dune do plodding down Main St., then you should be aware of as you It’s a science fiction the first full-fledged convention one to be held in Western New York, taking place October 24 through 27 in the Niagara Hilton Hotel in Niagara Falls,’N.Y. under the auspicies of the Western New York Science Fiction Society. Many science fiction writers and fans refer to the field as “speculative fiction,” eschewing the field’s image as the home of Buck Rogers, ray guns, and cardboard characterizations. But the most apparent quality of SF Anonycon. prominent criterion of “significant” literature), has now appeared in the form of fine studies by Sam Lundwall (Science Fiction: What It's All About ) and leading {Billion SF author Brian Aldiss Year Spree). — - has been joined by imagination a growing command among SF writers in the “mundane” aspects — of their craft. The best SF authors can now be numbered among the best modern writers; Tolkien, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., and Harlan Ellison are among the more prominent examples. The field has also expanded, with the grasp of its authors, to encompass a great deal of its enormous potential. Such revolutionary authors as John Campbell were exploring the ramifications of contact with life on other planets, the nature of time and space, and other such subjects with great skill during the ’30’s and ’40’s. “Serious criticism,” something sorely missing from SF (and a This trip is necessary Enough academia. that would matter if such an expansive experience, at its best, succeeds in breaking borders of the mind. None of SF wasn’t trip; an that truly down the In the words of Anonycon Liason Chairman Paul Greenwald, “People who read SF tend to be much more involved in it than people who read y other forms of literature. They enjoy getting together; the more the better. SF is, perhaps more than any other branch of literature, an exchange of ideas, and this is one way of doing so.” Hence the idea of the an SF Con(vention) opportunity to meet fans and authors from all over the country and, often, the world. Yes, the authors. Beneath the surface of every SF author lies the fan he once was before he entered the field professionally. Cons are an important way for them to get - first-hand feedback on their own work and to keep up to date on wtat’s happening in the field. The fans, in turn, “know the authors as people, which gives you an added insight into their work,” Greenwald said. There is a Worldcon (World Science Fiction Convention) held every year in a major city, usually in the United States; last year’s “Aussiecon,” held in Australia, was an exception. In addition, regional cons are also held primarily in this country. As in “Aussiecon,” the name of the convention site usually gets involved in the con’s annually, name (Philadelphia’s Phillycon, Toronto’s Torcon). Greenwald explains that “Anonycon didn’t really have a name.” (“Bufcon” was unanimously rejected as a choice.) it’s anonymous. But, by looking at the spelling, we realized ‘‘So that it could also stand for ANOther NY CONvention, which it is,” Greenwald explained. Anonycon will follow several time-tested precedents for con events. Most important is the Guest of Honor, almost always a prominent SF writer. Anonycon’s Guest of Honor is Gordon R. Dickson, author of the novels Ancient. My Enemy; The R-Master, and the “Dorsai” series of novels and stories. Dickson has won both of the field's major awards, the Worldcon’s annual Hugo and the Science Fiction Writers of America’s Nebula. The Fan finest of Honor, a more recent con innovation, is Jay Kay Klein, a familiar face at practically every con ever held, and the official photographer for many of them. events include an art discussion panels, screenings of science fiction/fantasy films, a costume show with fans dressed as their favorite SF characters (exemplifying SF’s appeal to the emotions as well as the intellect), and a large “huckster’s room” where fans can buy and sell SF books, paperbacks, comics, and other related memorabilia.

Most of the WNY Science Fiction Society’s members also belong to the UB Science Fiction Club, which would welcome you to any of its weekly meetings Tuesdays from 5;30 p.m. till 8:30 Women's Studies Ketter to meet with WSC reps by Laura Bartlett Campus Editor Representatives of Women’s Studies College (WSC) will meet today with President Robert Ketter in his Hayes Hall office to discuss the College’s charter and the administration’s directive that WSC eliminate all-women classes from its program by October 15. Ketter approved the Women’s Studies charter last January on the condition that it be revised to indicate whether the words “woman” and “women” were used as generic or exclusive terms, that it expressly adopt the principles of academic freedom, and that the charter be reviewed formally after 18 months. Recently, however. Executive Vice President Albert Somit attempted to impose a deadline of August 15 for the College to discontinue its five all-women classes. Somit cited the College’s failure to comply with the President’s conditions and explained that the courses violate HEW Title IX guidelines which assure that no person be excluded from participation in any course or educational program on the basis of sex. Possible penalties He said in a telephone interview on September 8 that unless WSC allows men access to the five courses, they will “simply be barred” from the University course offerings in January 1976. College members also fear the administration will revoke the charter and cut off the College’s funding. The August 15 deadline was moved to October 15 Action when SUNY Central’s Committee on Affirmative into until after fall go not effect that Title did IX ruled 1975 registration and therefore did not apply to this semester’s courses. WSC spokespersons believe they have complied with Kener’s request by indicating with astericks where “woman” and “women” are used as exclusive terms in the charter. However, Charles Ebert, Dean of Undergraduate Education, described this as “the most superficial manner possible” for the College to “attempt” to comply. IheT was no attempt, he said, “to change the ‘ or sentence structure so that, where appropriate, la ,g se ;u dy i eutral nouns . . . could be used.” • No new conditions College member Rena Patterson said no new stipulations which go beyond the original ones set by Ketter last January will be considered, “we are willing to make changes consistent with Ketter’s request. We will accept no new ones,” she declared. Patterson fears if the administration is allowed to change its conditions for the WSC charter, “it will develop into a never-ending process,” whereby the College’s existence will constantly be threatened by administrative whim. “We are taking the position that we have carried out the President’s directives,” Patterson said. “We want to get the charter wording out of the way first,” she continued. “We're acting in good faith by calling for this meeting, and we’re going to assume that the University is going to act in good faith, also.” New demands The College objects to what it feels are “new,” more include eliminating the words “woman” and “women” from the charter instead of simply specifying where they are generic and exclusive, and having the charter as well as the College, adopt the principle of “academic freedom and equality of access to stringent demands, which may , courses.” These new directives are labeled a “unilateral violation of the agreement made between Women’s Studies and the administration.” At the time of the chartering, Ketter accepted in principle that “selected use” of all-woman’s classes could be “educationally valid.” Robert Ketter Further, it was stipulated that the educational validity of specified all-women’s classes would be decided through regular academic channels. Consequently, the five all-women’s courses were submitted and approved by the Division of Undergraduate Education’s Curriculum Committee last spring. WSC members defend the courses on the grounds that they are part of an Affirmative Action program. They feel the all-women courses are a redress for past discrimination against women in society and they are not being used as reverse discrimination against men. �Fall orientation A problem relieved for all transfers and freshmen control and tour guides to help ease the confusion. SA also set up an Information Fair in Norton on the first day of registration, where representatives of various campus agencies, provided new students with answers to their questions. Agencies such as Legal Aid, Financial Aid and the Division of Undergraduate Education participated in the fair. students.” SA also held two Amherst Campus “gripe This year’s orientation helped new students sessions” where students could express their complaints to Anthony Lorenzetti, Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs, and representatives from Campus Security, Food Service and other The Student Association (SA) feels one way to remedy the trauma and frustration of entering this University is a fall orientation program. The purpose of fall orientation, according to SA Director for Student Affairs Steven Schwartz, is to “relieve problems and provide activities for incoming organizations. Other activities in this year’s orientation program included concerts by seven top local bands, movie orgies, beer blasts and a Beatles Film Festival. The activities climaxed with the Robert Klein concert. Different emphasis Schwartz said that past fall orientations have been geared towards dorm students, rather than minority, foreign and commuter students. “This year the emphasis shifted,” he said. He hopes next year will include an even broader range of activities. A new SA project this year was the Orientation Handbook. The handbook was written to familiarize newcomers with on-campus operations and information on Buffalo in general. Schwartz was pleased with the quality of the book, which he partly authored, and the student reaction to it. He Steven Schwartz expects another one to be compiled next year. The funds for fall orientation were appropriated handle traditional problems and scheduled activities “unwind” from the tensions from a special $3 fee charged to all incoming allowed them to which freshman and transfer students. This year, due to of returning to school, Schwartz noted. good weather, early planning and having “something for everyone,” Schwartz said, the (all orientation More human When the dorms opened on August 21, SA and program was a success. Almost all of the Si 1.000 the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) sponsored traffic orientation budget was utilized, he added. Dorm radio Station WIRR needs money Plagued by insufficient funding, student apathy, and poor signal reception, WIRR, the student-run inter-dormitory radio station has never really been able to get itself off the ground, according to General Manager Jerry Maltz. This year, however, major innovations are being considered, which may enable the station to become an integral part of the University community. Maltz explained that if the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) approves the budget, WIRR could achieve its immediate goal of expanding its signal to the Governors’ Dorms on the Amherst Campus. This is an extremely difficult process because the station broadcasts on carrier current AM through the dorms electrical system, he explained, and not over the airwaves. Thus, any expansion requires the installment of expensive new electrical cables. More variety Along with meeting the great diversity of musical tastes of the students, Maltz hopes this year WIRR will also emphasize campus and public affairs programming. Some of the possibilities being considered, are live coverage of this University’s and basketball games, as well as “on the spot” reports from campus events and demonstrations. Still being discussed with the Student Association Speakers Bureau is the possibility of live broadcasts of its campus lectures, Maltz said. Another change at WIRR is the concept of “bloc” type programming. Under this plan, specific segments of air time would be devoted to the different types of music. This week WIRR will be circulating a music survey on the Main Campus dorms to assess exactly what hours are most favorable for all of the different hockey musical styles. Probably the most important function of WIRR, is that it serves as a training center for students planning a career in broadcasting, Maltz indicated. Disc jockeys receive training in engineering as well as basic techniques in putting together their shows. The station is always looking for new personnel. Anyone interested should consult the Backpage of The Spectrum for the times of station meetings. Protection of security deposits NYPIRG aim The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) has recently published a handbook which could solve your security deposit problems. The pamphlet, entitled Damages Deposits: How Not To Lose Them, is one of many similar publications which are currently being used throughout the country. The handbook is essentially a list of items that a tenant and landlord can check together before the paying of the security deposit. The list covers eight categories, ranging from hot water works, to mail box keys, to sanitation regulations. The handbook recommends that “before you pay your security deposit, survey your prospective home carefully to determine what on the premises is in poor or damaged condition. After recording all on the checklist, the handbook says to obtain the landlord’s and then give him a copy Thus, when the tenant moves out of the apartment, the landlord cannot charge him or her for any items that were already damaged when the apartment was first occupied, NYP1RG maintains. “Often when a student moves out of an apartment after graduation, both landlord and tenant forget the conditions of the apartment that existed when the tenant moved in,” Donald Ross, Director of NYP1RG explained. “When the checklist is completed, both landlord and tenant have a copy which can later be used as a verification source, when it is time for the tenant to move out. J “Experience shows us that this checklist can eliminate and simplify security deposit problems,” he said. A copy of the handbook may be obtained from the NYPIRG office, Room 311 Norton Hall. damages signature 1 /T/r SAFETY INSPECTION Hear 0 Israel For gems from the JEWISH BIBLE 10%0ff on your German, Swedish, or Japanese Car Phone 875-4265 with this ad INDEPENDENT [of tires, brakes, shocks, Steering, The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the CLOGS academic year and on Friday only The the summer by during Spectrum Student Periodical, Inc.

The students are; Gene loli, Judy Sack, Steve Speigel, Mark Silverman, Jon Roller and John Siegel. Seigel tallied the highest number of votes, a total of 118. One write-in vote was even registered for Patty Hearst, noted Stephanie Wonder, SA Elections and Credentials-Officer, The results of the dorm election will not be announced, until a dispute concerning possible invalidation is brought before the Student-Wide Judiciary later this week. Senate candidate Bert Black was disqualified from the election after allegedly posting campaign signs which carried false information. He was later reinstated, but signs saying Black had been disqualified bad already been posted. Black obtained an injunction against the election, claiming his chances of winning were damaged by the signs. The Judiciary’s decision, as well as the dorm election results should they be upheld, will be announced later in the week. Another election to select this University’s student representative to the College Council will be held September 30. Preventative information Legal aid clinic to expand its services by Howard Greenblatt Campus Editor The Student Legal Aid Clinic, originally opened as a free “first aid” clinic for students with legal problems, is expanding its services to provide more • “preventative information” to students, according to Lynne Stenclik, Public Relations Director. The Legal Aid Clinic is run by a staff of 18 employees, most of whom are undergraduates at this University. Students seeking its services are statement to sign a acknowledging that required they understand the clinic does not provide “legal advice or opinion,” but rather legal “information. We are not lawyers and we don’t give legal advice,” Stenclik said. fraud, traffic tickets, and divorce. Before 1971, students with legal problems were directed to Committee, The seven-member committee was appointed last year by President Robert Ketter and Richard Siggelkow, Vice President for Student Affairs, to develop an overall perspective on commuter Committee Chairman John Buerk cited —Kanicki Lynne Stenclik _ _ - Typical Chevy A markedly high cost for commuters is that of operating a car, Buerk said. He shows that a 1974 intermediate size eight cylinder Chevelle with standard accessories runs about 5.7 cents a mile for the anthropological theory “Territorial Imperative” to describe the milieu of commuter students. The theory observes that animals naturally stake out and protect certain territories. The committee, accordingly, sees a need for an established “territory” which commuters can call their own. Buerk feels that because resident students live on campus, they tend to act like the facilities on campus are solely for them. One area recently set aside for commuters as a study and lounge room is now in use on the third floor of Norton Hall. The lounge offers a relaxed, quiet atmosphere where commuters can study or talk with friends without having to shout over the high noise levels in other parts of the Union. Cheap buses A plan whereby commuters would pay reduced bus fares on the Niagara Frontier Transity Authority’s (NFTA) bus lines was proposed by student Donna Buehler and Student Association (SA) executive Vice President Arthur Lalonde. Buehler and Lalonde believe that the benefits will be significant; fewer cars wasting less gas, less hitching and more parking for everyone. Although NFTA rejected the initial proposal, the company’s head, Chester Hardt. expressed enthusiasm for the idea. One alternative under consideration would be for SA to subsidize up to 25 percent of the fares, a plan which Buffalo State College experimented with last year. “It’s something you can hold in your hand and at least know what your S67 mandatory fee is doing for you,” Lalonde said. Proponents of the plan stress that NFTA does not stand to lose by offering the reduced rate, and are still trying to convince them of its merits. They argue that increased student usage of city buses will provide NFTA with an extra source of income to offset the revenue loss incurred by reducing tares. To document these arguments, a survey of student populations along already existing bus routes was taken, and computer approximations were compiled to determine how many students are in class at each hour of the day. The findings support the merits of the proposals, Lalonde said. In a study entitled, “Does it cost less to matters, small claims procedure, arrests, drug laws, consumer Informal to formal to secure reduced city bus fares for commuter students is among the many proposals under study by the Commuter Student Affairs A plan problems here. commute.” In his study, Buerk found that the food bill averages $17.70 per week to feed a 15—20 year old male or $247.80 a semester. For campus residents, the current board cost is $420 or $210 a semester. This covers 18 meals per week. than to by Paul Buttino Spectrum Staff Writer Rider study the most common information it dispenses to students are landlord/tenant Among A little forsight Stenclik feels many legal problems could be prevented if students had a little forsight. “Students don’t think of themselves as citizens with legal rights and responsibilities until after they have a problem. Our by giving aim is to protect them them information in advance,” slie said. In order to spread this information, the Clinic distributes pamphlets on such subjects as search and seizure, housing, drug laws, and arrest rights. A weekly radio broadcast on WBFO is planned, as well as seminars and workshops on such topics as “How to Read a Lease,” Stenclik said. Additionally, the clinic will set up an informational table on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Norton Hall Center Lounge. The Clinic also retains an attorney, Norman Effman, to advise students with more serious legal problems. The first consultation is provided by the Clinic free of charge. Effman is also a constant source of information to the Clinic staff, and in almost all cases, is consulted before a staff member releases any information. Reduced bus fare weighed commute than to live in a dorm?” Buerk concluded that “in the long run, it costs less to live on campus —I ekes John Buerk gas, oil and regular maintenance, in addition to charges for insurance. If these figures are totaled, the sum would be $1,092 per year, or $2.99 per day, Buerk pointed out. Buerk assumes an average student would drive his or her car 10,000 miles per year, or 200 miles per week, at a cost of $32.37. If this figure is multiplied by 15 weeks, it can be said a commuter spends $388 44 per semester for transportation, excluding depreciation, Buerk’s figures show. Time saved by the campus residents over the commuter is hard to estimate, the study found, yet, both commuters and residents agree to the advantages of the immediate library access and the helpful aspects of comparing notes with other students,. the Office of Student Affairs, where Richard Siggelkow, Vice President for Student Affairs, provided advice on an informal basis. In trying to develop a more formal legal advisory service, the Advocates Office, a branch of the administration staffed by Effman and other attorneys was formed. The Advocates Office primarily represented students in grievance procedures against various departments, to insure that their rights weren’t violated. The Office closed in 1971, partly due to administration shifts and partly because it didn’t pay to have sitting full=time attorneys in an office waiting for two student complaints. As a result the Student Legal Aid Clinic was developed as a branch of the Student Association’s (SA) Office of Student Rights. By late 1973, the Clinic moved into its own offices in 361 Norton Hall.

Department Chairman Chester Langway will head the program, which he feels has wide implications for environmental and climatological studies. The research centers on the analysis of cylindrical ice core samples, extracted by expedition teams from various drilling sites in Greenland and Antarctica over the past few years. Langway, an eminent glaciologist, arrived in Buffalo last January from The Wilmette Research Laboratory in Illinois, an institution which has been at the forefront of this field for a number of years. Since January there has been rapid progress in the construction of laboratory and cold storage facilities for the ice core samples, which arrived here in mid-June. Langway emphasized that the University is the only school in the country conducting this type of investigation on a large scale basis, and thus Buffalo has become a focal point of international glaciological research. The ice cores reveal a marked increase in the concentration of sulfate ions since the inception of the Industrial Revolution, as a result of burning of massive amounts of hydrocarbons. Substantial increases in the concentrations of various other atmospheric contaminants, including lead, stemming from the widespread use of leaded gasoline in the internal combustion engine, are discernable in the glacial record of the last fifty years. This finding was one of the primary mot vating factors facilitating the availa bility of unleaded gasoline. extensively" for their peculiar physical and chemical characteristics. The physical analysis consists mainly of observing the layer structure of the cores on light tables. The object of this is to develop a “depth-age” relationship, by studying melt features and density changes in the ice, in a manner analagous to the coutning of the annual rings in trees. After the depth »age relationships of ice cores from several sites are cross-correlated, a comprehensive model is established which can be used to definitively determine the age of the ice at any depth. The samples are also dated through the use of radioactive isotopes. But this aspect of glaciological research is conducted mainly by Swedish and Danish researchers, who are America’s partners in ice sheet study. Pure water Another facet of research is chemical analysis. Melt samples from the cores (vials of the cores in liquid state) are studied for “trace elements” and other particles. Because the water which constitutes the ice is more pure than water which is laboratory distilled, the analyses must be out in dust-free carried Age determination laboratories. These facilities, three-inch diameter ice The core samples are “time capsules of completed just recently, contain geological and climatological one area where there is no more events and trends, extending as far than one part of dust per cubic back as 125,000 years,” Langway meter of air. The relative amounts of various said. The samples are studied —Kanickl Chester Langway; substances, ranging from lead and sulfur to volcanic dust, are compiled through complex chemical analyses of the ice. Upward or downward trends in the amount of volcanic dust, Langway expalined, can reveal the birth or termination of ice ages and the resulting modifications in climate. The researchers closely study trends of the last thousand years. Ozone layer debate Continued chemical analysis may jhed some light upon the current debate over whether or not aerosol can emmissions (flouro carbons) are depleting the ozone layer of the atmosphere. In fact, Langway revealed, this level are to be conducted this spring. Because the ice sheets pick up and preserve wind-borne particles, they form an accurate record of man’s pollution of the environment. Langway said that ice core drilling is a new development opened in the last twenty years. Prior to this, glacial research was confined to the study of prominent surface characteristics of Sanstrugi, which are wind-eroded glacial features. In 1950, with the advent of serious ice drilling by the French in Greenland and the Swedes in Antarctica, there was a burgeoning international interest in the investigation of the “hidden third dimension” of glaciers. Starting in the mid-1950’s the United States, through the National Science Foundation (NSF) embarked upon a major effort to develop efficient ice drilling equipment. The new equipment was tested out in the polar regions, and by 1958 cores up to 1450 feet were being drilled at the Ross Ice Shelf and Byrd Station in Antarctica. In 1966 at Camp Century, Greenland, a core was drilled through 5000 feet of ice. This core represents 125,000 years of glaciological history. Every year from 1971 to 1975 Langway was in Greenland taking part in the drillings. These samples, when laid end to end, measure four miles in length. The cores, enveloped in plastic bags to prevent sublimation, are stored in cold rooms at -30 degrees centigrade. They are regularly shipped to various research facilities in Denmark, Sweden and Japan. One set of ice core samples will be exhibited at Expo ’75, in Okinowa, Japan. There has been a recent flurry of activity in this highly specialized aspect of geology. Interest in the field has been mounting. Fifty journal articles are direct spinoffs of ice core research. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) recently produced a documentary on the topic and there are now thirty different ice core studies being conducted worldwide. Wednesday, 24 September 1975 .

WASHINGTON “1 don’t belong to an the great comedian party,” organized political “I’m said, once a Democrat.” Will Rogers witty observation is still valid. No Rogers’ matter how hard they try, the Democrats just can’t seem to get along. On Capitol Hill, for example, a brutal power struggle is shaping up over a successor to House Speaker Carl Albert of Oklahoma. Albert hasn’t shown any signs of quitting, of course, but that hasn’t deterred some of his ambitious colleagues. The furor started when Rep. Richard Bolling of Missouri began spreading the word in the Democratic cloakrooms that he is a candidate for the Majority Leader job, how help by Rep. Thomas “Tip” O’Neill of Massachusetts. Veteran Democrats took this as a signal that Albert was stepping down and O’Neill was moving up. Albert and Bolling are good friends, the polls reasoned, so Bolling would never talk about moving up in the House hierarchy without the Speaker’s approval. Albert caught wind of the rumors and promptly issued a stern denial that he is planning to retire. Nevertheless, Tip O’Neill is quietly lining up support for the Speaker’s seat. He’s not the only one panting for the job. Rep. Phil Burton of California, chairman of the Democratic Caucus, and Rep. Wayne Hays of Ohio, chairman of the Administration Committee have let it be known that they want it, too. The upcoming Presidential elections will present the Democrats with still another opportunity to display their three-ring political circus. Indeed, they’ve already begun tuning up their acts. Senator Birch Bayh of Indiana, for example, recently jumped into the Presidential arena and landed on some delicate toes. He has been pushing the oil issue and has proposed breaking up the major energy cartels. He has garnered a lot of publicity on the issue, and some of his colleagues are grumbling that he is a Johnny-come-lately. Senators Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin and Phil Hart of Michigan, for instance, have been working quietly on the oil question for years. They didn’t appreciate it, say our sources, when Bayh began stealing their thunder. But no one was angrier than presidential rival Morris Udall, the Congressman from Arizona. He introduced legislation similar to Bayh’s last spring, but it went virtually unnoticed. The Democrats, in sum, managed to slice each other up in both 1968 and 1972, and thereby greased the skids for Richard Nixon. It's beginning to look as if they might repeat the performance for Gerald Ford in 1976. Smoke Got In Their Eyes: Congressional lethargy on such critical issues as energy, health, and tax reform is legendary.

Editor's " The Spectrum by Jack Anderson with Joe Spear The tobacco industry recently picked up a million subsidy in record time. While impprtant national legislation languished in endless committee meetings, the tobacco bill zipped through Congress, bending the rules as it $50 went. Rep. Walter Jones, D—N.C., started it all when he took the extraordinary measure of calling his Tobacco subcommittee out of recess to act on the subsidy bill. Then in the full Agriculture Committee, an important pesticides bill was put aside, and the subsidy quickly passed. One week later, the House passed the bill, after it was moved ahead of other legislation by unanimous consent. In the Senate, the charade of public hearings was disposed of on a technicality and the subsidy was whisked directly to the floor. It was passed on Yom Kippur. Only four Senators were present. The legislators who were adamantly opposed to the subsidy had been told that no important legislation would be taken up on the Jewish holiday. President Ford and the Agriculture Department opposed the bill, but the President will probably sign it into law anyway, sources say. It is apparently part of a legislative horse trade the White House has made with Congress. So whether you are a smoker or not, a portion of your next tax bill will subsidize the tobacco industry. Cuban Consumer: Since Gerald Ford moved into the White House, relations with Cuba have been slowly warming. Washington and Havana are not exactly kissing cousins yet, but things are definitely improving. Premier Fidel Castro, for example, has returned a few hijackers along with their booty. For its part, the United States has partially relaxed its 13-year-old economic embarge against Cuba. What’s behind it all? Why does Fidel Castro even want friendly relations with a country that has ostracized him for over a decade? We’ve spoken to a number of intelligence sources, and to prominent people who have recently visited Cuba. They all say the same thing: Castro has little desire to sell sugar or any other Cuban product to the United States. He wants to buy American products. Castro is especially interested in medical supplies, beef and farm products. And he’s tired of the inferior vehicles he’s been getting from East European countries. He wants to purchase Ameiican-made trucks. He may soon get what he wants. Senators Ted Kennedy. D-Mass., and James Abourezk, D-S.D., have already introduced legislation that would wipe out restrictions against exports to Cuba. These bills are now under consideration by a Senate committee.

I refer to one David Rubin of “The Wizard? of Odds.” His pick of the Jets over the Bills was one of the most insane predictions I’ve ever seen. This alone was not bad though. Upsets do happen once in a while. But to pick the Jets as division champs must be one of his wet dreams. If they stay ouf of the cellar, it will be a big enough accomplishment. A patched up secondary is better than no defense at all Namath - 42 points. Even a healthy Joe cannot move the “powerful” — 14 points - offense the garbage can Jets have.

Outside Looking In To the Editor. by Clem Colucci “It should be clear: when a nation’s production is carried out under a system of private ownership for private profit, the needs and interests of the majority are compromised.” The Spectrum editorial, Wednesday, September 17. It is not clear. In the United States, where a system of private enterprise has existed for 200 years, the majority enjoys the highest living standards in the world. Workers’ salaries are steadily climbing and in some instances have exceeded $15,000 a year. The working class generally venerates the American system and is opposed to socialism. In Red China, where the means of production are owned not by private businessmen but by publicrulers, there has been a ban on pay raises for years. Recent worker agitation was suppressed by government troops; the workers were re-educated and informed that the wage freeze was to be extended indefinitely. Thus, the statement quoted above needs clarification. Michael Morton Editor’s note: I agree, Mr. Morton, the statement does need clarification. Unfortunately, it is difficult to clarify, in this short space, what it has taken books and decades of work to explain. The primary drive for each enterprise under the capitalist system is to maximize their profits . for if one doesn't, he will be bought out by one who has. To do this, big capitalists will attempt to keep wages down, obtain cheap raw materials and seek new markets. During the I920's, 30's and 40’s American workers staged tremendous battles to defend their economic interests in the face of wage cuts, unemployment and economic scarcity, and formed trade unions. Making use of our nation's democratic rights, such as freedom of speech, press, assembly and the vote, helped in this fight. So the owners of private industry looked to foreign countries, where labor was cheap and democratic rights few or non-existent, to make up a high margin of profit. Under these oppressive conditions, the people in some of these countries succeeded in overthrowing their repressive governments, and took away the "freedom" of American industries to continue making superprofits off their people’s labor. The chicken is now coming home to roost. Private American industries are making up high profits by raising their prices. While some announce record profits, they fight tooth and nail to avoid maintaining our nation’s social services. Thus the quality of life is deteriorating for the majority of the American people, despite the high level oj productive work they continue to perform. Yes, I do believe that the public ownership of the p roductive processes, with the democratic participation of the people at all levels is the solution. While errors on the part of China's current leading figures account for that nation’s economic problems, they have gone a long way since the days of Chiang Kai Shek. In contrast, the other socialist countries, while not without problems, have recorded stead and impressive economic progress. schoolwork, yet unusual gets an of number Reared Hack grab that person and bring him or her to his or her senses.

Edith Nemecek, whose husband Charles graduated from the UB Dental School in 1937, left the gift at the wish of her previously deceased husband. Not only said. He added that Children’s Hospital, as a principal pediatric referral center, is ideal for those dental students wanting to later specialize in pedodontics. Currently, the pedodontics clinics at Children’s and the University have a total of 18 dental units chairs and equipment. Following completion of the first phase of expansion and consolidation of the two clinics, there will be 31 units. An additional 14 units are to be added later in the second phase. - More children Noting that about 7,000 patient visits were recorded at each location last year, Pedodontics Department Chairman, Dr. Charles L. Boyers, Jr., said the new facility will permit more youngsters to did Dr. Nemecek have a thriving practice specializing, in the treatment of children until a stroke forced early retirement, but he gave a great deal of time to the underprivileged youngsters at the Guggenheim Clinic in New York City. Roblin said the Nemecek money will be used to match funds being solicited from School of Dentistry alumni, faculty and friends. “For every $1 given by this group, $2 will be given by the Nemecek fund,” he said. Already the University Dental Alumni Association has responded to the challenge by donating a $20,000 leadership gift, according to Dr. William Hancock, President. He said the early pedodontic clinic at Children’s began about 1935 under the direction of Dr. Eugene North, a Buffalo dentist who was the first chairman of the Department of Pedodontics at the University’s School of Dentistry. “Pedodontics is the fastest growing specialty and hospital based teaching programs for students are becoming more popular.

Syracuse was the overall winner of the quadrangular meet. The graduation of last year’s captain, Paul Carroll, and Larry Mentkowski, along with an injury to future hopeful John Ryerson, forced the Bulls to field a squad composed primarily of untested freshmen in what was termed a “futile effort for victory.” Although the Bulls were defeated* third-year coach Jim McDonough still seemed very optimistic about his team’s future, noting that it takes time for the new freshmen runners to get used to the change from the two mile high school course to the six mile collegiate one. McDonough also seemed very pleased with the performance of junior Mark Rybinski, who finished tenth (32:43) in the field of forty. McDonough attributed Rybinski’s good time to summer training and participation in various road races. On the other hand, returning letterman Kevin Lynch didn’t do as well as expected, finishing 26th (34:16). Lynch explained that he didn’t run well because he didn’t run fast enough, but he expects to do better in the future. Poor financing One reason for the Bulls’ last place finish is their last place financial position. Syracuse, Rochester, and Niagara all have more money at their disposal for equipment and scholarships, giving them a significant recruiting advantage. But when McDonough was asked if he thought that the schools with the biggest budgets have the best teams, he replied, “no, the schools with the best runners do.” It’s just that in the case of this meet, as in many others, the schools with the best runners just happen to have the biggest budgets too.

Bulls Meahwhile, another pitcher, Jim Miewczyk, has been undergoing a change of his own. “I’m trying a different motion,” said the big senior. “It’s supposed to make you faster.” He remarked that he was pitching faster after he had gone six innings against Niagara for the win ■ ■ The lopsided score also gave Monkarsh a chance to get a look at some of his substitutes. The Bulls have been decimated by injuries to several key players, and the back-up crew could play an important role. “The guys are still vying for positions,” Monkarsh said. “I wanted to get as many in as possible.” The cancellation of the second game of the doubleheader robbed Monkarsh of the chance of looking at more of his charges.

Page nine �A message for the influencers: Today, millions of people who have never had a course in economics are influencing the structure of our economic system by their action, or inaction. Yet the well-being of each individual and family depends on sound economics. Realizing that “the doctor” needs to know "the patient”, The Business Roundtable is sponsoring messages that discuss inner workings of our American economic system, They are giving this special “mini course” monthly exposure before the country’s largest reading audience in Reader’s Digest. ADVERTISEMENT � Free EnterpriseIs This Any Way to Live? � Every you pick up a paycheck, buy a gallon of gas or make a bank deI posit, you renew your active membership in the American free market. Our economic system’s . culiarly vital effectiveness almost infinite freedom of choice between house and condominium, one supermarket and another, large car and small —is the “humdrum” reality of the highest standard of living in the world. And yet a vocal group of economists, social reformers, “consumer advocates” and other self-proclaimed critics are trying to convince us that our system is evil, that we should feel guilty about the way we live. Indeed, one of them says that our system “has issued a death sentence against the individual human spirit” and “plunged our country into its present economic chaos, destroyed the lives of millions of families and threatened the very survival of the republic.’” Strong stuff. But is it even partially true? Maybe it’s time to remind ourselves of a few facts as we consider the following charges against our way of life; Free enterprise exploits people. The critics say that the system degrades man, making him a cog in the industrial machine, repressing his individualism. Yet how can they reconcile this darkly tinted 19thcentury view with the Pittsburgh steelworker who hitches his motorboat to his new car and heads for his cottage on Deep Creek Lake, — • dollars) Page ten . to the afraid that we’ll make the “wrong” choice between wool and nylon, pretzels and carrot cookies.

Nor does it jibe with polls showing that Americans 8 to 1 like their jobs. The free enterprise system makes us selfish and materialistic. No one doubts that our economic system has produced an extraordinary abundance of material goods. And it is true that “average Americans” spend nearly half their total income on what they want (the other half takes care of necessities food, clothing, housing). No people have ever lived so comfortably. But the record indisputably shows that, even as they have enjoyed and insisted upon material benefits, they have poured out much of their material wealth unselfishly. In 1965, for example, we gave $12.2 billion to churches, hospitals, schools and a dizzying variety of charitable causes. Last year, despite recession, we gave REPRINTED FROM THE SEPTEMBER 1975 ISSUE OF READER'S DIGEST . concept of voluntcerism. Our way of life debases our taste. The critics picture us as helpless slaves to manufacturers, addicted to a stream of frivolous products put out purely for profit. But if we don’t want such products, we don’t buy them. The choice is ours. Critics also blame the system for the fact that some of us persist in eating “junk food” or listening to “awful noise” on the radio. They’re Md., on summer weekends, or the machine operator in Dayton who rises to plant manager ? The view is hardly compatible with the fact that median family real income (figured constant we earn our “daily bread” in this country is under attack as never before. It’s time to face up to the question . * time The way abundance. “Indeed,” notes economist Milton Friedman, “a major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it does this task so well. It gives people what-they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against a free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.” Free enterprise concentrates wealth and power in the hands of a few. In no other society is wealth so obviously in reach of its people. The Bureau of Census reports 59.2 percent of national income goes to the 103 million people in families making $10,000 to $25,000. More significant, in 1962 there were 464,000 households making over $25,000. By 1973, there were 5.4 million such households— a more than tenfold increase —astounding even when inflation is taken into account. One indicator of how wealth is distributed in America; two out of every three families own or are purchasing the dwelling in which they live. Well, then, say the critics, wealth and power must be in the hands of big corporations. But who arc these corporations? They are more than 51 million Americans who own corporate stock, plus more than too million others who indirectly share in ownership through stock owned by life-insurance companies, pension • funds, etc. Says economist Charls Walker, “I know it’s fashionable to say that the big interests run the government. But if that’s true, how in the world were the taxes of ‘big interests’ raised by $6.5 billion in the 1969 Tax Reform Act? And why haven’t those ‘big interests’ prevented the passage of inimical regulatory acts?” Bepeople— who run the marketplace —still run the country. cause the Perhaps you’ve noticed that the ease against the free market is seldom made on hard economic grounds, but rather on hard-to-pin-down philosophical issues. That’s because the facts of performance are so overwhelmingly in its favor. Here are some figures: With seven percent of the world’s land area and six percent of the population, we produce 33 percent of the world’s goods and services (about equal to the total output of Western Europe and Japan combined). Although our labor force is approximately twothirds the size of the Soviet Union’s, we produce twice as much as the Russians do each year. In 1940, one American farm worker fed about ten people. Today, a single American farm worker feeds 54 people here and abroad. But all the evidence of the system’s well-known efficiency and productivity is ultimately not as important as a certain intangible that looms larger than mere economics. This is the subtle blend of freedom and order inherent to the marketplace. You are free to decide how best your skills can be applied, where you will work, what you will buy with your earnings. Can you imagine some central authority deciding who will be a tool-and-dic maker in Latrobe, Pa., or a vacuum-cleaner repairman in Keokuk ? The free market monitors an incredibly complex assortment of prices, wages, resources, skills, needs, desires —and yet it leaves you in control.

It can give the judge the power of life and death, of who should go to jail and who should be. set free, he added. The course is structured for students who might someday have to deal sociologists, with sentencing psychologists and pre-law students, i ,r Another course in tne College of Urban Studies is, “Analysis of Homicide" taught by Chief Lee Donovan of the Buffalo Police Homicide Department and Defense Attorney Herbert Siegel. Donovan said he teachc#the course for people whose studies might involve law enforcement in the areas of sociology or psychology. Course member* inspect actual files of already resolved cases and hear video tapes 6f subjects confessing to homicides. “We can give up to date information rather than have students reading graphs in a book that may be ten years old," said Donovan. Contributing Editor The Colleges were designed to give students an alternative to the traditional university education but they are also offering an alternative to the traditional university professor. Police officers, government officials, and professionals from 1 all walks of life are teaching the “practical” aspects of their jobs to interested undergraduate audiences. Irving Spitzberg, Dean of the Colleges 300 courses explained that of the 250 offered each semester, about half are taught by people with no other affiliation to the University. “People with special expertise, and unique qualifications,” said Spitzberg, “teach because they like to, not because they’re obligated to, and it shows in the quality of their teaching.” Spitzberg also pointed out that these people have contact and experience with the outside world that.is sometimes lacking in traditional academic personnel. “It’s important to undergraduates to have access to the enthusiasm and frustrations that these people can communicate on the basis of experience,” he said. - - Unique The course also covers the slep-by-step investigation procedure used by police in investigating a homicide and analyzes the sociological aspects of homicide and violence. Siegel covers the defense aspect of homicide, referring to the same cases as Urban Studies One of the more renowned members of the Colleges’ faculty is Supreme Court Judge Joseph Mattina, who teaches “Problems of Sentencing” in the College of Urban Studies. The course focuses on the role of the judge in sentencing, which Mattina.feels, is “one of the most neglected areas from a judicial as well as a Donovan. Siegel, teaching this course for the filth semester, said “It’s like trying a good case. The course is interesting for me and hopefully for the students. It is unique, the only course like in in the country.” can give a practical approach.” Harold Lawrence, President of the Buffalo Philharmonic teaches Arts Management in College B, which he says involves “everything to do with the management- of an Arts organization.” Lawrence wants to develop closer tics between the Philharmonic and the leading institutions of the area and he feels the class is a means to this end. Also, with thirty years experience in the field of arts management, he feels he can offer the student something more than an academian. Although salaries for these instructors $1,000, Spitzberg range from only $350 admitted that these are just the people the Rachel Carson College also offers several courses taught by outside people, among them “Introduction to Environmental Problems” by Merit Van Licr, the executive director of the Erie County Management Council. The course covers basic ecology, population, water and air quality, environmental management, land use and the social issues involved with environmental problems. Van Lier. holding undergraduate degrees in Chemistry and Geology and a Masters degree in Environmental Science, said he enjoyed teaching and working .with students.

If the tenant still feels cheated, he or she can file a claim in Small Claims Court. “Students do not realize that they are bound legally, once they have signed a lease, and there is no guarantee that a lawyer will be able to help you after you have a ‘bad’ lease,” signed Hoover emphasized. The Legal Aid Clinic urges students to ask for legal assistance before signing any lease, and to do their best to educate themselves before embarking on their search for an off-campus apartment. �students complain about linen Money Research grants available The Council then judges the student 4 proposal according to criteria, including the “societal and educational merit of the proposed study,” and the “development of individual competence and Now in its ninth year, the Undergraduate Research Council is providing opportunities for independence in the participant.” Research grants financial grants to undergraduate students desiring to are given per semester although in some instances, a do research they would otherwise be unable to do. full year is required.

Black reported these complaints in a September fifteenth memo to Kevin Seitz, Faculty Student Association Service Center Manager. Frontier Linen Service, which supplies this University, is one of the largest commercial laundries in the area. According to Seitz, they claim “their foreman will drink the water from the final rinse, it is so clean.” Seitz then explained three possible reasons for the stained linen. When the detergent is placed'in the laundry, a very precise mixture is required to clean the laundry properly. If the detergent mixture is just slightly off, it can cause the linen to burn. The burnt linen would appear brown. However this washes out if the linen is re-washed, he $iven explained. Chemical Stains A second possibility is that the University received linen that was previously used by a commercial customer, and therefore, stained by chemicals. Because of the use of its linens by commercial customers, Seitz added, Frontier launders its linen at temperatures forty to fifty degrees higher than home washers. These linens are not dirty, he asserted. They either have to be reprocessed by Frontier or in the future, given to their “heavy” commercial users. The third possibility, which Seitz claims is highly unlikely, is that some “unprocessed” linen Was received. In that event, it probably would have been detected by ,Linen Service personnel and returned to Frontier, he said. Black fears that many students are either embarassed, or just do not know where to complain. In the future, Seitz encourages students to inspect their linen in their rooms and to return any defective items immediately.

Graduate vs. T.B. in S. Korea The battle against tuberculosis, a disease which has almost been eliminated in the United States, goes on in South Korea, and Paul Arndt, a 1971 graduate of the State University at Buffalo, is in the front lines. Arndt is a Peace Corps volunteer who is working in the South Korean capital of Seoul on a new tuberculosis control problem. The program is being coordinated by the Korean National Tuberculosis Association and the Korean Ministry of Health and Social Affairs. “TB is more than a serious problem here in Korea; it’s a major killer,” he says. The current program, if successful, will have two main benefits. First, it will reduce the cost of TB control in Korea, and second, it will make it easier for the patients to take their medication. Arndt explains, “As things stand, most TB patients here have to take twenty large pills a day to control their disease. If the regimen we are studying works,.we can cut that to just ten tiny pills a day and have less side effects.” Involved in health The 26-year-old is one of 200 Peace Corps volunteers in Korea, 70 of whom are involved in health programs. Arndt’s association with the Corps began in late 1971, only a few months after his graduation from Page two . The Spectrum . this University. His major was Asian history A small mountain town in Korea was his first stop, and it was there that he began his work in TB control. After completing his two-year term, Arndt obtained a position in Cleveland, Ohio, with the United States Public Health Service. He got so involved with the control of infectious diseases that he requested the opportunity to participate in a Peace Corps study program. Soon, an assignment to Korea became available, and Arndt jumped at it. Asian interests While his main concern is presently TB control, his interests in Asian history have led him to find out much about the people of Korea, their culture, and their history. “In just everyday living, you’d be surprised how muclfyou can learn,” he noted. >H Arndt hopes to use the experience; he’s gaining ’ his later his He would in on Peace Corps tour career. like to work in infectious epidemiology, which is the study and control of disease in a population. “There’s room for non-technical people such as myself to help cope with outbreaks of typhoid, smallpox, cholera, even polio,” says Arndt. “I’d like to work in those circumstances.” Monday, 22 September 1975 or further info call 831-4631 PROBLEM PREGNANCY?

What is known is that members always act as bodyguards to protect of the Brotherhood personal Manson from his black, redneck and homosexual enemies in San Quentin, and that there has been a great deal of correspondence between the male members of the Brotherhood in prison and Manson’s female family outside. Both Fromme and her roommate Sandra Good sent nude photographs of themselves to Brotherhood inmates, and Manson has assured sexual favors from all his girls for any Brother released from jail. This trading of favors has tightened the alliance between the family and the Brotherhood, and has assured Manson a large, close force to carry out whatever plans he may be making. His influence in crimes committed since his incarceration are now well documented. In November 1972, for instance, two girls from Manson’s family and two members of the Aryan Brotherhood were arrested for the murders of family renegades James and Lauren Willett. Another family member stole a case of marine grenades from Camp Pendleton, California, and tried to smuggle them to Manson in prison.

Griffin explained that the aides were often intimidated by uncooperative students. “It is true that our budget was cut,” he said, “But if the program was continued it would be upgraded, revamped and the aides would do more than just stand in the doors trying to perform an impossible task.” President David Brownstein said several alternatives to the student security aide program include issuing each building resident a key to the front door, as has been dqne at the Governor s Complex. In another, which has been tried in MacDonald Hall, students carry electronic cards which they insert into a computer unit that opens the door. Toft many doors Griffin feels, however, this is not feasible in Ellicott, which has a total of eighty-four doors on the first and second levels. Griffin said the obvious difficulty involved in keeping all these entrances guarded, keeping outsiders from entering any of them, and issuing keys for all of them, means the security needs of Ellicott for the present time will be dependant upon increased foot patrol by Campus Security officers. The Security Aide Program was first started by the Housing Office in 1970, in the midst ol More college women are choosing the lucrative and accessible career of engineering as students of both sexes turn away from the less promising humanities and social sciences, according to a survey conducted by the Stanlord University Academic Information Center the preliminary based on survey, The academic interests of this fall’s freshmen class, also showed that the boom fields of law and medicine were declining in popularity this year while natural Trees may stand in country's courts - frees may follow women and as the next group to be given protection the law if the theory of a California law minorities under when college officials I omul in their dorm room marijuana - sciences, math and technology were attracting more interest. (CPS) Too many cooks Nevertheless, Housing insisted on selecting and hiring the students, even though Security was giving them immediate them and paying instructions, he said. At this stage, Griffin explained, the program became “confused” because there were two offices running it. Soon the security system became the cause of most of the problems encountered by the student aides, Griffin indicated. A group of students would enter the dorm, “usually intoxicated.” and one of them would refuse to show his I.D. card. He added that the aide on duty would call Security, and an officer would arrive. “Now this would place the student in a position where he can't back down in tront of his friends, so he refuses to show his I D. to the officer.” Griffin said. The officer then would try to make an arrest for refusing a reasonable request, and a “melee" would break out. After all this, the worst penally the student can face is a recommendation tor suspension from the'dorms by the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) Judiciary, maintained Giillm. d Engineering lures women (CPS) demonstrations and strikes when Security officers often refused to enter either Norton Hall or the dormitaries because weapons were allegedly stored there by student rebels, Griffin said. As a result, he said, the security aide program was started, and students were hired by the Housing Office to sit by the dormitory entrances to check the I.D.’s of those entering. A few years later, the campus security program was upgraded and renovated, and the dorm aide program was “dumped” on Campus Security, Griffin noted. Christopher Stone has suggested that natural objects, such as trees, he given legal standing in courts. Attorneys could be appointed by the court to defend the interests of the environment, much as attorneys would be appointed to defend a child. Any money awarded in damages would go to the benefit of the environment. Foi instance, if a polluter were ordered to pay SI0,000 in damages to a tree or stream, the money would go into a trust fund tended by a legal guardian. The money could be used to reforest a cleared area or restock a stream with fish. Stone’s theory is gaining ground in legal circles. The attorney general of New Jersey used the argument in a suit involving fish kills, and California’s attorney general plans to use the same case to win compensation for birds and fish injured and killed in the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill.

Formed in April, 1971, the lobby engages mainly legislators about important educational “lobbying in issues” and “getting students involved in the political process in communities,” according to NSL Board Member Frank Jackalone. NSL’s strategy is to focus on key legislative districts where the margin of victory is less than the total number of students in the district. “If students are urged to vote and become active,” Jackalone explain ted, “it will start to make waves, even if it only happens in one or two districts.” “Students have power through the vote,” Jackalone stressed. “If every student voted, they would be the largest voting block in the country.” Target 76 t> Presently, NSL is conducting “Target ‘76 a and drive for voter registration, education participation in the 1976 election.

How did it all begin? Coler Williams were sent to and Jumping Bull to serve warrants on three Indians for the alleged kidnapping of two young whites: Jerry Schwarting and Robert Dunsmore.

An FBI spokesman said Coler’s coat had been found on the body of the scene. The FBI exchanged gunfire for several hours with some 16 Indians in the area, killing one. As sporadic firing continued and government agents waited for word on whether to storm the Jumping the Indians compound, Bull disappeared into the reservation’s 2.8 million acres of rolling, grassy hills. As night fell, the FBI flew in its heavy weapons, search craft and about 100 agents from around the country.

Wilson’s people and AIM are trying to make peace, but that does not seem likely.

There is a weird personal feeling about this for me. 1 spent time in the Mission in August, hung around with the folks who run The news tonight the newspaper world to the refugees For the over 100,000 Vietnamese and Cambodian refugees who have resettled throughout the United States, the "end" of the war in Indochina only marks the beginning of a long, lonely process to assimilate into an alien Western culture. Already the victims of hostility from unreceptive Americans, left homeless and familyless by one of the most horrible wars in history, many of these refugees can barely speak the English language but will either have to enter the already overcrowded American job market or remain dependant on the unpredictable generosity of the U.S. government. As has been proven in the past, when waves of Oriental immigrants migrated to this country, they are treated as second-class citizens and scorned by the American workers for their potential to become "cheap labor." The U.S. government has reportedly set aside $505 million for the evacuation of refugees from Indochina and their resettlement here, of which approximately $87 million is available for disbursement by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare in education and support assistance programs. Yet when various linguistic institutes requested the government to administer tests for English comprehen sion and to provide instruction in the language, officials claimed that money was unavailable. Many of the refugees cannot afford the price of collegiate intensive English programs and the small number of private organizations that have taken the initiative to institute such programs have been plagued by inadequate facilities, overcrowded classrooms, and, of course, shortages of funds. There is something dreadfully wrong with a government that has no compunctuion about sinking billions of dollars into a war it has no business entering, and then, when it has finished ravaging the country and senselessly killing millions of innocent people, cannot provide adequate compensation or aid to the abandoned survivors. There is also something dreadfully wrong when the same people who hid behind guises of patriotism and democracy to justify America's involvement in the Vietnam war now turn their backs on the ones they were supposedly "defending." Within the next six weeks, over 200 South Vietnamese refugees are expected to have settled in the Buffalo area.

It alters the quality of the experience somehow. Instead of letting myself stay with the foreground, there is a struggle to remember the background . . . what else drifted by on the edge of-my vision that I failed to notice? This is clearly paranoid in a variety of ways, but what the hell. One of the ways that I am happier is being in control, being aware of my environment sufficiently to anticipate what unpleasantness might occur early enough to avoid the worst of it. The fact that a brisk firefight might break out on a San Francisco street between the FBI and the SLA never occurred to me. Which may be a statement of my political naivety, but also has to do with the ways that fear creeps into peoples’ lives. This same evening there were reports of a moderate scale civil war in the streets of Beirut, with opposing groups of militiamen stopping cars and making “arrests.” The scale of the fighting probably matters little to the dead Lebanese. As little as it may matter to the number of Irish who have died in the terrorism there. The thing which will probably do much to unseat the current Cuban military Junta is the terror that they have unleased in order to keep themselves in power. And this is perhaps the thing that it is so easy to forget when you are dedicated enough to risk your own life, that other people, many, many other people, live lives of “quiet desperation” from which they only want protection. Most of us are a fair ways away from places where power functions. We do not have congressmen or senators to intercede with the Federalists on, our behalf, or the ear of the governor, or the mayor. We function in a system which is hopefully benign, but which 1 think appears to most of us to be out of control. And I firmly believe that almost all of us want more control, not less in our lives. Some folks, indeed, would like to give it all to the state, or at least someone else who can do a better job than they feel that they can. But even the rest of us probably want more control for ourselves. How does it feel to live in a time and place where the price of oil, and thereby the price of gasoline, is a political- football on the one hand.

(Did you notice that all the supermarkets in British Columbia were closed, maybe still are?) In a world like this, the use of terror as a specific weapon can only raise my personal anxiety level. And I don’t see my response as being singular. 1 might conceptualize it more noisily, but when you increase peoples’ insecurity, they must want less change, not more. Now if I could just figure out a revolution was based on increased rather than decreased security, my historical reputation would be assured. Please do not try explaining to me that this revolution or that would eventually increase or decrease somebody’s security. Clearly the Cuban Government now offers -more security in many ways than its predecessor did, that is why it is stable. The problem of making changes in this country is how do you do it while convincing George Meany lhat it will offer him more security than it does now? Because either you convince him, or you have to convince everybody else under that him. There is a novel called Harlequin floating about the best seller lists which is about power, and corruption of it. In some senses it is a paranoid’s delight, in that it involves many shadowy things that could all be true, such as what do people really do with all the data they have in computers these days, and who really shoots people when they get shot in the street? What I think makes the book most intriguing is the picture of powerful figures having to struggle to survive like the rest of us, not being able to buy security in the almost automatic way that I think many of us associate wealth having. Which is romantic, since wealth is a buffer most of us do not, and will not have, but it clearly buys a number of pleasant things at the upper levels. As with this novel, and Patty Hearst, it can also make you a target. Whether that is worth it or not, depends on your head. I wonder what Samuel Bronfman, the Seagrams’ heir who was kidnapped, would say? And just how are you going to feel if there isn’t enough natural gas or oil to keep you warm this winter? How much in control? Reality is not the most pleasant thing in the world to live with, which may be why so many of us seem to prefer to avoid dealing with it as much as possible.

The comparative involvement of the CIA and ITT was minimal. Several months ago, an American syndicated columnist reported the results of a poll conducted confidentially among the Chilean people by the Uruguayan branch of Gallup Poll. The people were asked to compare their living conditions under the current military regime to those which existed under Allende. before the coup. Result: the people especially workers responded overwhelmingly in favor of the military regime. Of course, the military has implemented oppressive, often brutal policies; there is great room for improvement; and an international outcry against them would appear justified and honorable.

After careful thought on what she wrote, I came to the conclusion that her place as a student in this college is to get an education to the best of her ability.

She most certainly has the right to her views, but I don’t think she has the right to gather people Strike for qualify education To the Editor. 1 would like to respond to The Spectrum editorial of Friday, September 19, entitled “Education vs. Green.” In this article, the striking teachers of the U.F.T. are accused of taking away from N.Y.C. students “a valuable part of the quality education they deserve.” The editor is drawing a picture of these teachers as striking out of personal greed and disregard for their pupils. On the contrary, this strike was called to protest drastic and overly proportioned budget cuts in the already sinking N.Y.C. education system. What one must realize is that there is a direct correlation between education If she feels that this fashion of partying is detrimental to human life, l" strongly urge that she doesn’t partake in such activities. If she doesn’t like the kind of life college students like here at Buffalo, 1 am sure Brockport would welcome her back with open arms.

Teachers were protesting conditions worsened by the budget cuts that in the end hurt the student: overcrowded and consequently more impersonalizpd classrooms, lack of supplies, of cuts in services such as hot lunches, etc. Furthermore, this was the first U.F.T. strike largely supported by parents.

Arrested along with Hearst were SLA members William and Emily Harris, and fugitive Berkeley artist Wendy Yoshimura. Nineteen months before, on February 4. 1974. Hearst was dragged, half naked, and screaming from her apartment. Two months later sh£ announced she had joined her captors, asking her father to comply with SLA demands of $2 million worth of food for poor people in the San Francisco area. Hearst allegedly participated in a San Francisco 1974, lank robbery by SLA members on April 14, after which the FBI declared her a fugitive who was “armed and extremely dangerous." Tania goes to Hong Kong Two months later in June, with television cameras recording the incident, six members of the SLA died in a west Los Angeles gun battle with i Gen I l ; Ci»iurv> »»rp * Copr ACROSS police who had found their hideout. Hearst and two other members escaped, reportedly because they had gone out to buy clothing. During the last year, there was no contact with Hearst, or any of her allies, although the FBI tried to link her to sports activists Jack and Micki Scott, formerly of Oberlin College. There were reports that she had been seen in New York City, Pennsylvania, Reno, Nevada and Hong Kong. She was arrested less than ten miles from the apartment in Berkeley from which she had originally been abducted in 1974. Charles Bales, FBI agent in charge of the case, reported that Hearst had offered no resistance upon her arrest. “1 feel a great deal of personal satisfaction for tying up this case or any other case." Bates said. “That's what the FBI is for." Hearst was arraigned on federal charges ot bank robbery and illegal use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. She also must answer more than two dozen state charges, including assault with intent to kill, and kidnapping. Bail has been set at over SI million, which her attorney.

The article, written by two staff reporters, claims that the evidence was found buried deep in the DEA's own files by a task force under 1 DEA, Edward Levi. The Attorney-General established by an executive order of former President Nixon in July 1973 leads and coordinates drug activities of the federal government, and is considered part of the Justice Department. According to the Daily News, the task force uncovered more than 30 acts . of “criminal misconduct" by officials and agents of the DEA, and the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, its predecessor. The story quoted one Justice Department official who claimed to have read the task force’s report as saying that most of the felonies look place between the establishment of the DEA in 1973. and the forced resignation of its director.

FDEA is linked to murder . •wl j'V contact than do the Bar incident A case still being investigated deals with that a Dl A official either personally killed or ordered the killing of a drug informant who double-crossed him. Another murder allegation allegations concerns “a DEA informant in New York state” who was found shot to death. In the latter case, the informant left a bar used as a DEA base-of-operations with a state trooper known to have organized crime connections. Within an hour after leaving the bar, the informant was found shot to death, the Chicago paper said. The task force report also included a story of a special agent who allegedly accepted bribes and payoffs from organized crime sources. Rather than being fired, he was reassigned to the DEA’s Baltimore office at the request of “a White House aide,” according to the article. Another questionable incident cited in the report concerned a DEA attempt to blackmail a Parliament member in an allegedly “friendly” country by planting heroin on him, according to the story. The attempt failed, but the agent succeeded in placing the drug in the politician’s apartment, according to the report. In still another incident, three drug agents allegedly robbed a -merchant seaman of $16,000. One of the three, the report said, has since risen to “a very sensitive position of authority.” The Daily News story concludes: “There were also confirmed reports that informants were paid off with heroin and other drugs seized by DEA agents in earlier raids.” / RLL STUDENTS The doors to the closed University are finally beginning to open.

The Spectrum . Page eleven �Title IX... —continued fromp age 5— regulation from becoming law, expecially those relating to intercollegiate athletics and physical education classes. HEW’s guidelines require secondary and post-secondary schools receiving any federal funds to offer equal opportunity for women to participate in inter-collegiate sports, either by organizing separate teams or by allowing women to compete for places on the men’s teams. Within the three-year grace period, the 2,700 colleges and universities affected by Title IX must integrate all physical education classes except for those in contact sports. Several attacks on HEW’s enforcement policies took place prior to the July 21 deadline but were beaten back by the lobbying efforts of several women’s groups. Congressional observers called the women’s lobbying a classic “saturation” effort, but it took three House votes to defeat the “Casey amendment”] which would have barred HEW from requiring an end to sex segregation in physical education classes and university-based honorary or professional fraternities and sororities. Although Congress, can no longer disapprove of the HEW regulations, it can still amend the original Title IX legislation. Rep. James G. O’Hara (D-MI) introduced a bill early this summer to limit Title IX’x jurisdiction over revenue-producing intercollegiate sports and physical education classes because, he said, his constituents were worried about boys and girls sharing locker rooms. O’Hara’s bill was sent back to committee before the July 21 deadline passed and Is subject to Congressional -review. Women's battle Women’s groups are also facing a Title IX fight in the Senate. Hearings started this week on Sen. John Tower’s (R-TX) sports bill which would protect revenues earned by intercollegiate sports or teams from Title IX’x ban on sex discrimination. But the fiercest battle to keep the Title IX regulations strong and effective is now raging between women’s groups and HEW. At the same time HEW sent the final regulations to Congress, it published a new “procedural regulation” in which it proposed to investigating individual complaints entirely and instead stop concentrate its efforts on pursuing what it calls broad-based “pattern and practice” discrimination Women’s groups and some 53 senators who passed a resolution asking HEW to reconsider this proposal believe this would leave no recourse for women or minorities with discrimination complaints except a legal battle in the courts, which many could not afford. Although HEW’s guidelines require schools to set up internal grievance committees, women won’t have much faith in a procedure “entirely the creature of the institution that being charged," according to Holly Knox, director of the Project on Equal Education Rights. Knox said most women think the law itself provides almost everything women need to protect their rights in education but tha* HEW has done a “lousy” job investigating cases. “HEW doesn’t warn to cut off funds so schools think they can drag their feet and delay It’s time HEW started getting serious about enforcing their laws Knox said.

Monday, 22 September 1975 Soccer Bulls top Buff State 2-1 in strong defensive show by Larry Leva Spectrum Staff Writer It was luck more than anything else that sent Emmanuel Kulu’s shot into the Buffalo State goal to give the soccer Bulls a 2-1 victory against the Buffalo State Bengals. Kulu, whom Bulls’ coach Sal Esposito calls the most talented soccer player Buffalo has ever had, was actually attempting to pass the ball to a teammate, when it caromed off the head of a Bengal defenseman into the upper right' hand corner, beating a surprised Rich Drozdiwski, the Buffalo State goalie. The Bulls Doug Leininger opened the scoring by knocking in a rebound off a shot by hard-working forward Brian Van Hatten at 8:23 of the first half. Following the goal, Buffalo continued to control the action and kept applying the pressure, only to be denied several times on great saved by Drozdiwski. The Bengals finally showed some life by knotting the score at one all on Don Oberman’s unassisted goal from about 30 yards out late in the first half. The tie was short-lived as Kulu’s goal came only 59 seconds later. Defense comes through Buffalo State came out fired up at the start of the second half, but despite dominating the early going, they failed to produce any goals. Then, the Bulls’ defense stiffened and the rest of the half was played at midfield. “I’m happy with the win, but not the performance,’’ remarked Esposito.

SPANIS. chocho gargarizando sacamuelas bulla ENGLISH childish old man gargling quack dentist soft coal manteca lard pantufla bedroom slip] Here at Jose Cuervo, we believ an informed consumer is an informed consumer. Last Friday, amidst thr'stacldl of other campus papers which were piled high against the back wall of Norton Hall, an new publication was unveiled. It was Bullpen the new mouthpiece for intercollegiate athletics at Buffalo. Bullpen is the brainchild of its Editor-in-Chief, Dave Hnath who speht his first three years at Buffalo writing sports for The Spectnanm. After becoming disenchanted with The Spectrum, he enlised the help of Students for the Future of Athletics (SFA) and Student Athletic Review Board (SARB) and came up with a four page opening issue. Sound-ff As an “on-campus sports publicity,’’ Bullpen is expected to be a sounding board for arguments and proposals supporting athletics. Aside from reporting news of sports, it hopes to become a “communications pipeline” between the University and the Athletic Department. Bullpen now joins SFA as another organized attempt to rally more support for intercollegiate athletics at Buffalo. The first issue of Bullpen contained articles about each of Buffallo’s five men’s fall varsity teams, along with an introductory piece, and an overview of the new Big Four intercollegiate which includes Buffalo, Buffalo, State, Canisius, and Niagara. There was also an Athlete of the Year award for soccer/wrestler Jim Yound and women’s basketballet Chris Barone. Dennis Delia, SARB chairman, contributed the first in what appears to be a series of commentaries about athletics at Buffalo. This particular column stressed the need for more and louder support for intercollegiate sports. Also in the first issue were statistical reports and fall sports schedules plus a “Name-the-bubble (Ketterpillar)” contest. No comment which is funded through the Bullpen, on-campus publicity line of the Athletic Department budget, appeared to be fairly well received by the University. Hnath was out of town and therefore unavailable for comment, and Delia cited “personal reasons” for not issuing a statement. However, wrestling coach Ed Michael did have something to say, observing “It’s a fine something that’s long overdue.” Sports Information Director Dick Baldwin was also pleased with the first Bullpen. “Instead of one newspaper, now we’ve got two which could be healthy,” he noted. The staff of Bullpen is believed to be rather thin at this time. Hnath made requests for help with photography, layout, and advertising in his introductory article, and it is believed that he wrote most of the stories with the exception of Delia’s column. Women’s tennis team downs Houghton 7-0 in easy victory by Joy Clark Spectrum Staff Writer After being soundly defeated by the University of Rochester 6-1. the women’s tennis team came back to shutout Houghton College. 7-0, Thursday at the Ketterpillar. “We were really surprised at the strength of the Rochester team." commented Bulls' coach Betty Dimmick after the 6—1 loss on Wednesday. Rochester lost three of last year's top singles players, with sophomore Helen Katz the only returnee. All the other singles players are freshman. The one bright spot for Buttalo was freshman Nancy Reiner, the third singles player. Reiner gave Buffalo its only win at Rochester. “Her secret is consistency," declared Dimmick, “and she can keep the ball on the court.” Because of the lack of courts in the Ketterpillar, Thursday’s game was a single set match, with the first player to score ten games winning the match. Buffalo won all seven matches easily against a very poor Houghton team. Top singles player Diane Defalco defeated Maxine Kaltenbaugh handily after a disappointing loss to Katz the day before. Dimmick made a few line-up changes for the Houghton match. Nancy Munroe was switched from doubles to singles, and freshman Katie Surgalla replaced Mary Galligan in the second doubles team. Dimmick plans to carry more players on the squad this year, to compensate for player absences and to give younger players some experience. The second doubles team will serve as training ground for the new players. There are only two returnees from last year’s squad. Defalco and Jane Van Dyke, but Dimmick is optimistic about the team’s chances. “We’re playing well together as a team.” she said, “and we’re starting to mold together, to gain the unity as a team we need to be successful.” The Bulls’ next match is against the tough Cortland team tomorrow at Cortland.

The number of students subscribing to student health insurance benefits has dropped dramatically since the fall, 1970 semester and the insurance company, Niagara National, has suffered losses or, at best, small profits. Campagna feels that the program, as it stands now, is no longer feasible because of the small number of participating students. The “compulsory with waiver” approach has been endorsed by the Council of Presidents, the Sub Board Board of Directors, the University Council and the SUNY Administration. \ the presidents of the Student Association (SA), Graduate Student Association (GSA), Millard Fillmore College SA, Student Bar Association, Dental Student Association, and the Medical School Polity. No health fee The advantages of the compulsory with waiver” fee are not limited to stabilized premiums and increased benefits, according to Campagna. The increased number of insured students would help Student Health Services establish itself sufficiently to serve the students without imposition of a health fee, he said. This fee has been suggested by a member of SUMY Central Administration. To insure students who do volunteer (if the compulsory approach is not adopted), present rates would have to be increased, or benefits reduced, or a combination of both, Campagna said. This would likely result in a reduction in the number of students enrolled and would lesserr the quality of i.A T Pneumonia Alley’ Norton Hall workers threaten job action by Charles Greenberg Spectrum Staff Writer Civil Service Employee’s Association (CSEA) workers in Norton measures this winter unless steps are taken to provide adequate heating facilities for the first floor of the student Hall threaten job action union The first floor of Norton has been nicknamed “Pneumonia Alley” by some employees. Winter temperatures as low as 40 degrees have been measured there, according to one employee, who does not want his name revealed. The cold temperatures and wind gusts in Norton have been a for the past ten years, according to Robert Henderson, Associate Director of Norton Hall. problem Henderson explained that the building was not designed to accommodate the heavy traffic flow which it now must bear. The air flow increases hourly during the winter with the release of classes and subsequent crowd swelling in the union, he said. Baffles Several plans have been proposed over the years to correct this situation. In 1973, for instance, the construction of porches by the fountain entrance and new heating facilities were proposed, but the plan was overruled by the administration due to the high costs involved. SA and Sub Board move for say in Amherst development by Steven Milligram Spectrum Staff Writer Although no definite plans have been made for student participation in the commercial development of. the Amherst Campus, Sub Board and the Student Association (SA) have begun approaching the UB Foundation with ideas for such involvement. The UB Foundation, incorporated to promote private support of the University, has been charged with overseeing the commercial construction in Amherst primarily because it is the only financial branch of the University which has the resources to raise the initial, credit necessary. The plans presently include a hotel, market, dry cleaners, savings bank, barber shop and other related services, according to UB Foundation President Jack Latona. Dpug Cohen, Student Association (SA) Ditector of Student Activities feels, “the commercial development is to serve students it will bring needed predominantly in two ways products and services to campus, and it will hopefully bring lower prices.” - Another plan called for the construction of revolving doors at the building’s main entrances, but critics charged that the day-to-day traffic through the building would deem this plan impractical. Cohen emphasized the need for student involvement in the plans, possibly in the form of management trainees, workers and as a regulating body. “Also of prime importance will be the placing of a student as a full member of the Board of Directors of this facility,” Cohen added. Nothing definite Bruce Campbell, SA Vice President for Sub Board concurs with Cohen. “It is vital for us to get student participation in all levels of this project,” he said. Campbell added that no definite commitments have been made at this time. A spokesperson for Sub Board stated that nothing tangible has been arranged to date. ‘The only thing that is definite is that the development will exist and that there will be private businesses in it. He feels Sub Board is capable of running businesses on the new campus, and that these Sub Board operations can serve the students better than private management. “Any profit that would possibly be taken in Sub Board-run operations would not be taken by off the campus and directed elsewhere. Also, we —continued on page 2 Henderson tnd other Norton officials are hoping that temporary wooden “baffles” will be constructed by the entrances to solve the problem, but Ray Reinig, Facilities Program Coordinator for Physical Planning, maintains that “temporary enclosures will not help, only more heat will help.” One pending proposal would install overhead gas heaters on the first floor. Frank Kellner & Sons, a local contractor, estimated last year that the unit installation would cost about S4600. $5000 had to be cancelled this year due to budget cuts, Reinig said. building’s Lulus A new request for the expenditure was submitted to Albany in the Supplemental Budget Requests, and Reinig expects to have word soon. CSEA workers have voiced bitter concern over the lack of action, and plan to make the Norton Hall problem a major topic at the next labor-management meeting. Two employees, both CSEA members, warn that “this time we mean business.” In December, 1974, the Norton Hall employees met with the University administration to present their grievances. At that time, they were promised “immediate action,” the two employees claim, but since then nothing has been done. William Strobel, Assistant Vice President for CSEA employees, summed up the workers’ sentiments;-“If we had two of those lulus from our local legislators, we could take care of this thing.” “Lulus” are the New York State Legislature’s most recent attempt to vote themselves pay raises during the last session. “The union is supposed to be a place where people want to come, not a place where people are driven away,” Henderson said. If things don’t improve soon, the building employees may be driven away. �Health insurance —continued from page t—- ’{•< ... the risk pool, for all insured students.

Threatened bomb causes evacuation Norton Hall was evacuated Wednesday at about 4:45 p.m. after a bomb threat was called in to the Buffalo Police Department emergency phone number, 911. Campus Security and Buffalo Police officers investigated the building but no bomb was found. The phone threat was traced to the Albany area. No further information was available at press time Lee Griffin, Assistant Director of Campus Security, indicated that the decision to take the threat seriously was made on the basis of what the caller said and how he said it. “There are several different ways that a person making this kind of call speaks and the words they use tip us off to the validity of the call,” Griffin explained. Although the caller’s actual words were not known, the person apparently warned that there was a bomb in Norton Hall scheduled to go off at 5:05 pjn. The budding was closed until shortly after 6 p.m. as a precaution. • Criminal justice The Citizens Commission on Criminal Justice (CCSJ) for Buffalo and Erie County is asking University students and staff to make nominations for an award for “outstanding performance in the field of criminal justice” to be presented to an Erie County resident at the CCCJ’s first annual awards dinner October 7 in the Hotel Statler Hilton.

According to Latona, “There are or will be no legal or philosophical reasons preventing Sub Board from becoming involved in the project.” However, he added, those businesses who have already contacted the UB Foundation will be the first to be taken under consideration for'space.

The demonstrators weren’t at fault because they perceived the occupation of Hayes as a peaceful protest, and didn’t “understand the subtle distinctions between the protected expression of a peaceful picket line and the proscribed activity of blocking the free passage of others;” 2. President Ketter’s actions in the incident were legal and correct; 3. The procedure for clearing the building was “appropriately non-violent” and had a “high probability of successfully clearing the building without major incident;” 4. The decision by Security to open the door to 108 Hayes (which leads to Ketter’s offices and those of several other administrators) “created an inflammatory situation” which “could have been much more violent but for the restraint exercised by both Security officers and demonstrators;” 5. “For the most part, the Campus Security force performed the difficult and unsavory task to which they were assigned with restraint and due regard for the rights of others.” astringent wine.

In only a few cases was any identification checked, as required by the rules. One of the more hotly debated aspects of the events of April 25 concern the breaking of the glass in the door to the Presidential suite. Originally, students caimed Security broke it with their nightsticks. Security claimed students broke it.

The committee students had ° “ °f The report of the Faculty Senate three-member committee of inqui:y into the April 25 disturbance at Hayes Hall like many reports, is more notable for the questions it doesn’t answer than for the ones it does. Last week, the Faculty Senate heard the conclusions drawn by Law Professor William Greiner, Professor of Counselor Education Robert Rossberg, and Psychology Professor Dean Pruitt, into the events which culminated in students blockading the door to the President’s office in Hayes. The group was protesting the administration’s refusal to allow student mandatory fee monies to be allocated for buses to Albany in support of amnesty for the Attica defendants. The approximately 70 demonstrators were forcibly ejected from the building by Campus Security. However, the Faculty Senate “Greiner Repprt” hesitated to shift the blame to either sjde, preferring instead to characterize the incident as a series of misunderstandings. a sensitive situation; and called for both Security officers and students to be clgarly informed of the goals of Campus Seurity actions. In addition, the committee produced a thirteen-page long summary of the April 25 events as they were able to sort Recommendations Like most committees, recommendations. It called for for future demonstrations; a this one made contingency plans clarification and specification of the rules regarding demonstrations; examination of the double indemnity of prosecuting students on both civil and academic charges for the same offense; and the use of faculty members as mediators in future incidents to soften conflict between students and Security. for addition, the committee asked In clarification of what constitutes proof of University affiliation; said Security officers should always be instructed to use the least violent means possible in taped Revealing photos The question of who broke the glass was well contested, until photographs were printed in Ethos nightsticks being poked through the window.

Watkins tall by Cynthia Crossen Special to The Spectrum (CSP) off-campus - Although rents have rising filled dormitories across the country to capacity this fall, students at some colleges are still battling dorm mandatory which require them regulations to live on campus. Students at several universities taken the issue to court that mandatory dorm laws represent a violation of their civil rights but the court decisions have been inconsistent. The schools with have charging mandatory dorm laws has over the past five years, but a survey by the Association of College and Univerity Housing Officers this year found that more than 50 percent of the public institutions and 76 perceitt of the private institutions surveyed still require some students to live on-campus. Last June a U.S. District Court judge told five Eastern Illinois University (EIU) students who had filed a class action suit that the mandatory dorm regulations were “implemented to achieve a legitimate goal of higher education” and therefore did not violate their civil rights. decreased But according the EIU student Smith, the requirement that all EIU freshmen and sophmores under the age of 21 Barry must live on campus has resulted in overcrowded dorms where some students are forced to live in the lounges. Overcrowding Overcrowded dorms are also a big headache for students at the of MassaUniversity chusetts-Amherst (U Mass) where university officials require freshmen, sophomores and juniors to live on campus. Four U Mass students filed a class action suit against the university last winter but the suit is still pending. An attorney for the students contended that the dorm regulations were a violation all of the equal protection clause of the Constitution because they exempt married students, seniors and students over 21 S'ears from the rule. Meanwhile 1200 to 1500 U Mass students are living three to a double room. U Mass officials admitted that the reason for the residency requirement was the necessity to bondholders who have financed the construction of the dorms and dining commons. This was also the conclusion of a trial court in South Dakota last year pay the which ruled against mandatory dorm laws at the University of South Dakota. The court found that the primary purpose of the dormitory rule was to insure sufficient income to pay off the residence hall debt, not to provide an "educationally enriching experience” for students as the adminstration had claimed. But early this year, an appeals court overturned the South Dakota trial court’s decision, concluding that dormitory living “broadens and enriches the life of the individual student. We cannot agree that the right to choose one’s place of residence is necessarily a fundamental right,” the court ruled. The upsurge of popularity in dorm living this year has helped the case against mandatory dorm laws on some campuses. At the University of Alabama, requests for on-campus housing were expected to outnumber vacant rooms by some 30 percent this fall. As a result, university administrators suspended the mandatory freshman housing rule. And at the State University of New York at Stony Brook where six students had filed suit last spring against mandoatry dorm regulations, the adminsitration voluntarily dropped the dorm law this year before the case reached court. The rule at Stony Brook required freshmen and first-year transfer students who were under 21 and unmarried to live on campus if adequate housing existed. In past years, this has forced double rooms to become This the year, triples. adminstration admitted that the housing on the Stony Brook campus was not sufficient and allowed freshmen and transfer students to scramble for off-campus housing. Students may someday wish good old days of for the mandatory dorm laws as on-campus living becomes more economical and less restrictive.

Well, if you’re Francesca “Kitten” Natividad, and your vital statistics are 38-22-35, you become Miss Nude Universe. That’s exactly what she did, and that’s what brought her to the State University at Buffalo last Tuesday afternoon, where she was interviewed on WBFO-FM (88.7) by Pat Bufano. Miss Nude Universe is in Buffalo this week for an engagement at the Fine Arts Theater, 663 Main Street, the latest stop for her and her giant bubble bath. The “Kitten” said she saw an ad for the Miss Nude Universe Contest in the Los Angeles Free Press about three years ago, and enlisted a photographer friend, Johnny Costano, to be her sponsor. . „ , ,, , “I don’t smoke or drink, and 1 try to stay very healthy,” she said proudly. “1 don’t have any toxins in my body.” As one would expect in this age of women’s liberation, Miss Nude Universe receives a lot of criticism from feminists, but she refutes their claims that she is being exploited: “I’m very liberated; I do my own thing. 1 'ike men to see my body, and 1 like to turn them on!” ‘Liberated woman’ “I’m doing what I want to do, and that’s what liberation is all about, isn’t it?” Besides, she asks, “At $5.00 a-ticket, tell me who’s being exploited.” Politically, Miss Nude Universe admitted that, although she has always been a Democrat, she’s now becoming a Republican-Conservative because of one man: former California Governor Ronald Reagan. “I’ve done a couple of bikini walks for him, and ‘Make people happy’ After doing a short stretch as a nude go-go dancer, she entered and won the Miss Nude Universe competition staged by promoter Sparky Blaine. First prize was a $1,000 cash award, plus $20,000 worth of performing contracts. "I just wanted to use the title to make a lot of money, and to make people happy,” she explained Tuesday A suit brought by the sponsors of the original Miss Universe contest has made “Kitten" possibly the last Miss Nude Universe, as the title will probably be changed to Miss Nude U.S.A. When asked if she had ever considered entering Miss America Pageant, the Mexican native replied the that, at five feel, two inches tall, she was too short. “There wasn't a talent requirement for Miss Nude Universe, other than a nice walk and a nice body, but we were questioned to lest our poise,” she added. Bikini walks big The beauty queen is evidently very well-poised, judging from her series of “hikini walks,” including one down Buffalo's Main Street on Wednesday. “I love to walk down the street and wave and say hello to all the people who come to watch, and they like to pose for pictures with me,” she related. Her “bikini walks” go on “rain or shine or snow,” she said, and have been known to attract as many as several thousand fans, sometimes creating massive traffic jams. “Do you know what they’ve arrested me for?” “Obstructing a highway!” asked. she Francesca has a number of activities to which she devotes her time. Her favorite among them is entertaining the elderly, both men and women. Entertainmentfor the elderly “1 like to charter a bus and bring a bunch of the older people down to the theater, wherever I am, for an early show about 6 p.m.,” she said. "Nobody seems to care about the older people anymore, but I get some of the other girls to help and we all have a good time.” “One lime an 82-year-old woman came up to me after the show and pointed to my boobs and said,‘Are those real?’” Francesca doesn’t work in the winter, and she spends her time in Los Angeles enjoying her hobbies, which include tennis and cooking, espeically French cooking In contrast to the image of the burlesk performer as a bawdy, loose-living type, “Kitten” is a vegetarian PRE-LAW & PRE-MED STUDENTS Oool<le,s of al1 medical or an containing average, schools minimum & recommended CPA, nd law 5® ,or lsat & mcat scores for 1976-77 $2.00 Send to admittance.

My family isn’t very keen on the idea. though!” “Kitten” was very cheery as she talked about her most devoted fans: “Most of the letters I get are from guys who are in prison, and ask me tor pictures. I send them out, and I send some candy occasionally to guys with whom I’ve been corresponding for a long time.” Probably her most dedicated follower is an inmate in the Atlanta Penitentiary, who crochets bikinis and mails them to her. “Sometimes,” she said, “I use one of them in my act!” And, finally, what does the future hold for Miss Nude Universe? “I’d like to continue for about two more years,” she said. “Then I want to go back to Mexico and open a French restaurant.

Cray Spectrum Staff Writer The current busing controversy in Boston and the violent reactions the program is generating were discussed at length by author Jimmy Breslin 'in his appearance here last week. He addressed himself particularly to the reactions of the Irish residents. Breslin had just returned from Boston after doing a series of articles for the Boston Globe on the busing issue and its polarizing effect. Being Irish, Breslin feels he has a better grasp of their point of view than he does for the blacks. He offered no solution to the problem, and in fact, painted a rather bleak picture of future ethnic relations in Boston. Heavy security Recent newspa] ;r accounts indicate energy of the blacks and Irish is diverted from the real issues involved. It’s a classic example of what’s happening in all cities, he said. In Boston, you have the working class Irish with their close community tradition, trying to keep what they do have, fighting the blacks from Roxbury who have even less, if anything at all. Upper class oblivion So it’s a case of the poor fighting the poor, with the upper and middle classes largely unaffected by the issue. “Never are the poor blacks and whites going to get together and see that it’s only the rich who profit from these sort of struggles,” Breslin insisted. He added that it is the governments’ obligatipn to improve conditions for the black people in Boston. They are among the hardest hit victims of our society, they have the least, they deserve true by Brett Kline Feature Editor The busing of public school students to achieve racial integration in city school systems across the country has raised many questions as to the validity of busing programs and their social effect on the students and parents involved. The situation is not without historical background. In 1954, in a decision of great social and ideological significance, the Supreme Court ruled in the case of Brown vs. the Topeka Board of Education that the doctrine of separate but equal has no place in the field of education. “The segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other tangible factors may be equal, deprives the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities.” The most dramatic response to this decision has been court ordered busing that is, the relocation of students from - days of school. Buses were stoned and unorganized bands of youths roamed the streets, taunting police and throwing bottles at passersby. More troubles In Louisville, Kentucky, 22,600 students, about half of them black, are being transported for the first time between city and suburban areas. Violence, bomb scares and absenteeism, both in classrooms and industrial plants, marked the opening of school in the city and surrounding Jefferson County. Anti-busing forces urged boycotts by pupils and by unionized workers in nearby plants. Ford Motor Company closed two plants because of absenteeism. Most recently, Kentucky Governor Julian Caroll has filed suit in federal court to end school busin to achieve desegregation desegregation, claiming that the federal government must pay for the costs of the busing, estimated to be over $3.5 million. Busing programs on much more limited scales in other parts of the country have commenced without difficulty. Important social effects Lately, great stress has been placed on the social effects of busing, as opposed to Ihe academic results. James Coleman has done two widely cited reports, one in 1966 and another in 1975, on the impact of integration and forced" busing. He found that there are basically two important effects on which there is no conclusive research. One is the pupil’s feeling about himself, his self-esteem or sense of being in control of things that affect him in some way. The other has to do with interracial attitudes, white children’s feelings about blacks and vice versa. that the busing program in Boston appears to be improving. But attendance figures for the schools involved are varying as frequently as the wind shifts in Boston Harbor, making it difficult to determine what’s really happening. As Breslin pointed out, the buses are going through Bostons’ South End and Charlestown, two areas that are traditionally Irish, but only with the visible support of Massachusetts State Policemen standing seven yards apart along the entire route. Police helicopters are also circling Charlestown looking for snipers. Officials plan to maintain this security for one month. Irish psychology “The Irish can wait 300 years to fight,” Breslin said. One month of heavy security wouldn’t calm them down at all. he said He then discussed the Irish psychology, particularly their willingness to fight, their capacity to hold a grudge forever and their “stupidity.” He also pointed out that the Irish, as a rule, aren’t interested in fancy slogans or subtle manipulations. “They have great directness of language,” Breslin said. “They like to break things down to their basic components and attack the problem from that standpoint.” Racism Therefore, according to Breslin, the issue to the Irish isn’t even busing, but is as simple as a sign he saw on a building in Charlestown which said, “We Don’t Want No Niggers Here.” Breslin noted that the conflict just serves the interests of Boston’s rich residents and local politicians because the equality and it’s the governments’ mandated responsibility to see that they get it Jews and Irishmen In Boston, however, Irish pride and “stupidity” are likely to keep fueling the fire. Breslin recalled the proposed Forest Hills Housing Project in New York, which was designed to bring low-income minorities in to a more liveable environment than the ghettoes of New York City, and how the largely Jewish population of Forest Hills fought the proposal. The basic issue there was also racial, but according to Breslin, “The Jews came up with a complex series of environmental and other studies which they used as arguments to obscure the real issue and successfully [diminish] the project. But the Jews knew how to deal with the problem without ever suggesting open racism,” he added. Perfect Irish battle “But the Irish are openly racist about the whole thing. Right before 1 left Boston I talked to some of the Irish up in Charlestown. 1 told them, ‘Look, the Jews are much better at this sort of thing than you are. They think it out.’ But the Irish said, ‘Fuck thinking, let’s go out and fight’.” “Thinking is like some type of disease to most Irishmen. And the struggle in Boston is a perfect Irish fight .. . it’s hopeless,” Breslin surmised. The only immediate solution to the entire class struggle would be “scatter-site housing,” Breslin concluded. “But just thinking about that gives me a headache.” one public school to another to achieve a racial balance which corresponds to the racial balance of the city. Not new Yet busing is not new. In 1957, U.S. troops were sent to Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas to protect newly bUsed-in black students from jeering crowds led by the governor of the state an event that made headlines around the world. Today, Little Rock’s high schools are fully integrated and students and teachers alike agree that their educational experiences have been enriched greatly by this integration. The problems now faced by American cities involved in implementing busing programs are far greater than those of Little Rock in 1957. Detroit’s schools are now 75 percent black and 25 percent white. The issue there is whether all schools must be 75-25 or half the schools must be 50-50 and half of them all black. - Troubled Boston In Boston, about 26,000 students, almost 45 percent more than last year, have been bused as last year’s limited integration plan was extended to almost all parts of the city. City authorities ordered 1,550 uniformed police to special duty. National Guardsmen at the 82nd Airborne Division were placed on alert. Police concentrated South Boston High on three schools both heavily High, Park and Hyde involved in trouble a year ago, and Charlestown High on Bunker Hill, integrated for the first time. Residents of these predominantly Irish working class neighborhoods have been firmly opposed to busing and sporadic outbursts of violence have occurred there and in the predominantly black Roxbury section during the first — I i Research in Boston, for example, has found that both white and black interracial attitudes have worsened, especially among parents. White flight One reaction noted by Coleman has been the movement of whites from the city to the suburbs, as black enrollment in specific inner, city schools has increased. This “white flight,” or resegregation could occur more in the north than in the south, because there are more suburbs available for people to move to. In Montgomery, Alabama, for example, the surrounding areas have just as many blacks as the city itself, providing little or no exit for inner city whites. On the other hand, racial prejudice is more deeply ingrained in the south than in the north. One thing that is clear from southern reports is that as the proportion of blacks in school systems increases, more whites flee. Coleman stated that in Detroit, there could be an enormous loss of whites if the courts decide that every school must be 75 percent black. An alternative to individuals fleeing may be racial conflict, such as has happened in Boston. Grim consequences Over a number of years, the consequences of this social movement (whites leaving the cities en masse) could be grim. A black school system is established in the central city with black staff and administration, a white school system in the suburbs with white staff and administration, and established interests on both sides are not going to give up their students for integration. Present busing is seen as virtually the only means of achieving racial integration in the nation’s public schools. Yet educators and government officials are realizing that it is not a fail-safe system. Friday; 19 September 1975 . The Spectrum . Page five �Editorial Student Senate correction Qu'ils mangent du gateau! CSEA workers in Norton Hall are outraged by the intolerable working conditions there, and rightfully so. For ten years these faithful employees, not to mention students, have had to endure sub standard temperatures and draughts on the union's first floor. For ten years the University administration has repeatedly assured them that the problem will be rectified "immediately," and for ten years it has neglected to fulfill its promises. Despite several proposals over the years to heat the building, or to build enclosures around the entrances, nothing has been done. From their carpeted, cozy offices in Hayes Hall, University administrators blame the State Legislature for failing to allocate a mere $5000 to heat Norton, and while the buck passes along, people are suffering needlessly. It is difficult to believe that New York State can make a $650 million committment to build a new campus in Amherst, and at the same time refuse to spend $5000 to maintain the old one in Buffalo. It is even more absurd that President Robert Ketter, who in the past has shown no reluctance to act unilaterally on a variety of issues, remains powerless to fulfill his responsibilities to the employees of this University. In a matter of weeks Buffalo's notorious winter will descend, and Norton Hall will once again become "Pneumonia Alley." It is time for the administration to realize that we are not living in a Dickens novel, that it is 1975, and that blue collar wdrkers are human beings with a legal right to confortable working conditions.

I am Treasurer — Jomo’s trial To the Editor. On September 13, many people around New York participated in the commemoration of the 1971 Attica rebellion. This uprising for humane prison reforms was brutally suppressed under the orders of former Governor Rockefeller and left 43 men dead. Since the rebellion, the state has been trying to cover-up their wrongdoings by bringing the leaders and outstanding people of the uprising to trial on various charges from kidnap to murder. On June 26, the Buffalo jury deliberated for less than six hours before finding Attica defendant Shango (Bernard Stroble) innocent on all charges. Shango, Attica brother Jomo Sekon Omowale, and others were originally indicted as co-defendants in the alleged kidnapping and felony murder of inmates Ken Hess and Barry Schwartz, Jomo’s case is based on the testimony by the same witnesses. whose credibility was rejected by the jury in Shango’s trial. His trial is expected to taxpayers at least a quarter of a million dollars. In 1972 Jomo was indicted on 34 counts "A strike is a weapon you use against a boss that has money.

I am pleased and proud champion of sanity arise from the quagmire of “college partying.” Students, the intellectual elite of this country, have been stupefying themselves long enough. It is time to banish all stimulants from every corner of the earth and embark on a new era of tranquility and telekinesis with a constant murmur of Judy Collins in the background. I eagerly await the time when 1 am able to convene with a group of pals and hear something more sensitive than "the room is starting to melt” and other such foolish babblings. A time when sexuality will no longer be an emotional phenomena, when relaxation is more than relation, when everyone will know their names. 1 anxiously wait for the new epoch when every individual will unrelentingly strive to counsel each other to a higher consciousness, spending less time with post-imbibation foodstuffs and more with Rod McKuen and CB sets. It is these devices and the absence of all devices, devices as they do not exist, devices as they cannot exist, devices as devices, devices as non-devices and finally, devices as they have been handed down from the baboon to man and so on ad infinitum. Those which have propelled man into this new era of prosperity. to witness a For a group that purports to be educated professionals, the New York City teachers could not have picked a more ill-timed opportunity to walk off their jobs. In the midst of the city's worst financial throes, the over 55,000 members of the UFT boycotted the public schools for one whole week before finally reaching an agreement on the cost of settling the Wednesday. One thing is certain the dollars the city needs beyond extends far extra strike (which it doesn't have anyway) for mollifying its teachers; it has cost the city's schoolchildren a valuable part of the quality education they deserve. According to the September 17 New York Times, "The new agreement provides for 90 minutes of additional teaching time for a majority of the city's elementary-school and junior-high school teachers, and a 45-minute reduction in the school day of pupils twice each week. It also provides for a $300 cost-of-living salary adjustment for all teachers, and two longevity increments, but these are expected to be frozen because of city wage — controls." In the past, the Board of Education has failed enforce the no-stike penalties outlined in the Taylor Law that strikers be docked two days' pay for every day off the job. However, this time, the teachers will finally see that they are not a privileged class and the 30 million dollars in lost salaries will be used to reinstate the jobs of 2400 union members who were recently laid off. Throughout this unfortunate situation, and during the last two teacher strikes in 1967 and 1968, it has become clear that the idea of quality instruction is only of secondary importance to a group of people who should be its most ardent proponents. The LIFT has come to terms with the Board of Ed at the expense of 90 minutes of valuable class time per student per week. At a time when average scores on standardized exams continue to drop and college educators are becoming increasingly aware of deficiencies in learning at the elementary and secondary school levels, this sacrifice in classroom exposure may result in even poorer academic performance. While teachers continue to bicker with city officials over finances each year, it is ultimately the future of N.Y.C.'s schoolchildren which will be washed down the drain. The Spectrum to .

Christian Frazza Astrology—a legitimate science To the Editor. As a astrologer, third year engineering student and 1 can see both sides of your recent article about scientists versus astrology, and it sounds to me like a modern version of the old science-vs-the-Bible debate. The scientists who signed the statement denounced astrology because of its lack of scientific foundation, but after reading the Humanist, I doubt that they gained more than a superficial understanding of the contests and results of astrology. Moreover, they conveniently ignored its use by Jung, Kepler, Newton, Galileo, Copernicus and numerous other lesser-known scientists and physicians. Granted, there are many areas of astrology that do it more harm than good (the newspapers’ pop astrology, for one), but to condemn what many people . consider a serious study because of its premise is to. show a bias and a prejudice that is unlike the scientific mind. The issue at stake here is faith, because every study has its initial conditions that can neither be proved nor disproved, but must be accepted, and science is no exception. Science, then, has no more right to attack another study than it has to assume omniscience. Astrology is slowly evolving from the crystal ball arid sheep guts level to the serious study of their relation to complex cycles and self-improvement. This can come about only by scientifically examining the use of astrology, not its assumptions or history. Therefore, if the scientists sincerely wish to disprove astrology, they should thoroughly examine it first. William R. Klocko �Coppers Junk abounding on the tube writing of this show is Columbo-c\e\ier a'nd Dennis Weaver is a good ol' t>oy from way back when. Marshall Dillon taught Chester well. by Robb Adler Spectrum Arts Staff The networks run a big operation. Every year they smuggle in croplbads of junk to millions of Americans across the nation. When the junk is good, everybody rests easy and enjoys their nightly fix. Sometimes the junk is bad. Then it's my job to find out what went wrong. My name is Gannon. I carry a badge. It was a Friday night and so I was over at Friday's playing Clue. Suddenly, the telephone rang. It was the station house something big was up. Street clinics across the country were reporting heavy influxes of bad junk into the air waves. Worse than that, the junk was being passed by a ring of impostors and cons posing as television cops and detectives. If there's one thing I hate, it's an imitation imitator. Friday and I ran to the TV to stake out our suspects. A good cop never has time — to relax. At 9 p.m. we ran into Steve McGarrett on Hawaii Five-O. McGarrett is an old-guard TV cop. No one dares suspect him of passing bad junk. Danno, Chin and he have kept the islands clean for eight seasons now. They know what they're doing. The direction of their show is always first-rate and Jack Lord's arrogant machine gun machismo attracts fans by the horde. Sure, "the Lord" gets a little trigger-happy now and then, but they love him in Peoria. Not to mention Honolulu. Book him Danno, Murder One. McGarrett always knocks 'em dead. Lieutenant Kangaroo Hawaii Five-0 is followed by one of the shows currently on the air, cheapest however, Barnaby Jones. Old man Jones tries to come on sharp and slick, but he's about as glamorous and interesting as Captain Kangaroo. The scripts for this show play like rejects from Mannix and the directors couldn't get bird for Cannon. Buddy Ebsen is supposedly a talented actor, but he'll always be Jed Clampett to me. And even Jethro would be a better private eye. On NBC on Friday nights, James Garner has enough wit and style to keep his Rockford Files in order, but Angie Dickinson is as inept as Police Woman as she is an actress. Officer Pepper is lovely detective to look at for two or three minutes, but even that can't keep this hour from the pits. The writing is so mundane that Julie Christie couldn't make this show work. Any cops who volunteer to work on Saturday night have got to be fakes, and the crew at S.W.A.T. may be the phoniest television police squad in the history of the medium. There is no identity or -glamour to any of the characters on this show, and these goons are so violent that they make McGarrett look like Barney Miller. Grecian feast Sunday night, though, offers a detective show feast. Kojak is still the only cop series on television in which consistently fine directing, writing and come together. Telly Savalas' and class turn the snide, sarcastic, chrome-domed lieutenant into the most lovable Greek cop to ever roust a suspect, and Stavros, Crocker and the jolly crew down at the precinct house always keep the lollipops rolling. Would I waltz you, Matilda? This is New York's finest. Columbo may be the most annoying dingbat to hit the tube since Edith Bunker, but Peter Falk masterfully turns the character into a likeable slob. And the writing on this show is the best around, even though we always know exactly how the little lieutenant will trap his man. Uh, there's only one thing that bothers me and that's the constant use of that same old line. Columbo' s alternate McCloud is not as absurd a show as it should be chiefly because the wry. Western wrangler is one very quick cowboy. The acting always charisma — I Cops with cfass The class acting of Rock Hudson and Nancy Walker is the only thing that makes McMillan and Wife watchable. Old pro Rock turns Commissioner Mac into a kind of legitimate Al Monday, and Nancy does her quicker-picker-upping without the help of Bounty here. She doesn't have Rhoda or Brenda to pester either, so she spends her time annoying criminals instead. Susan Saint James almost ruins the whole thing with her overdone cuteness, but the two professionals always keep her contained. The show is trash for sure, but it will keep your attention for an hour or two. Monday night is mercifully free of detective shows, but Tuesday and Wednesday bring the most boring crop of all. The Rookies are more straight, wholesome and bland than even Friday and me, and the honest cop-on-the-beat propaganda of Police Story went out with Officer Joe Bolton. Joseph Wambaugh's television concepts are even more stilted than his novels and screenplays. I hope he's a more honest cop than he is a writer. Blues in the night If Tuesday's men in blue are too clean and careful to be real cops, then Wednesday's Baretta is too wild and woolly to even be your ordinary killer. This lunatic is so violent he couldn't make the team at S.W.A.T. Robert Blake does his Al Pacino well, but he's a lot more likeable throwing the bull with Johnny on the Tonight Show than acting like that bull let loose in the china shop. Cannon tries to add a gourmet touch to the television detective menu, but the cute, little fat man is pretty thin when it comes to acting. William Conrad shows less emotion than a patrolman directing traffic. And the material on this show is so trite I wouldn't have even let it on Dragnet. Thursday night ended our stake out with a brief revival of class, however, Mike Stone and Steve Keller patrol the Streets of San Francisco with so much smarts and dedication that you have to like their show. Stone is an old-guard rock with a heart of gold while Keller is a mod young hipster fresh out of college. It is the warm interplay between old and young, conventional and new that makes this show work. The writing sometimes lags but the professional acting of Karl Malden and Michael Douglas can always save the night. Classic mood Harry O is a moody rebel detective in the classic style of Philip Marlowe. A social outcast who has quit the police force to go private, Harry passes his time bumming around the beach, patching up his boat. "The Answer," and occasionally solving the most unsolvable crimes of the twentieth century. Like Marlowe and Sam Spade, he is always being stepped on by his suspects and spit upon by the police. But also like his forebears, he always laughs last. The hook is an oldy but goody and David Janssen could have one-armed man in one episode. But then he probably wouldn't have this series now. And it's a lot nicer on that side of the screen than on this side. I can tell you. I've been on both. caught that Barnaby Jones, Cannon, Police Woman. Police Story, Baretta, The Rookies and S.W.A.T. were brought before a federal audience on charges of impersonating police shows and polluting the air waves. The jury voted unanimously to cancel the shows. On September 8, 1975, the networks appealed this decision and the verdict was reversed. All seven shows will be seen again this year.

The coolest, quickest punk on the block. It's hot. It's magic. It's rock and roll. And we'd almost forgotten what that was all about. Bruce Springsteen has been called the new Elvis, the new Dylan, the new dagger and the new messiah of rock. On the east coast, advance sales for his latest Columbia album Born To Run exceeded the advance sales for Elton John's latest release. In the past month articles on Springsteen have appears in at least ten major newspapers and magazines from the New York Times to New Times.

Aged rock fans who should know better are acting like star-struck barrage Springsteen whenever appears, and faded, time-worn rock refugees have happily returned to the fold to rejoice in the new music of the teenyboppers seventies. Some 20 years after Chuck Berry gave rhythm to the blues, 15 years after Dylan added the words, and ten years after Brian Wilson and the Beatles put it all to music, a new rock and roll amalgam has finally emerged. Bruce Springsteen is its catalyst, creator and after only three released already its legendary albums — symbol. Hot licks the Springsteen formula incorporates that is unique to rock and roll is a dash of existential angst heard seriously before only in middle period Dylan and Primal Ono Lennon, a hefty helping of dramatic dynamics that puts David Bowie to shame, and an exquisite touch of sensitive musical What "Let's turn on the bustle and undo the muscle in here," Springsteen shouts to his band at the beginning of "Kitty's Back" and the amazingly tight, always ready E Street Band graciously complies. Springsteen's live performance pulls the audience out of its seats like a cosmic magnet. This is what rock and roll is all about. Rock Echoes of Roy Orbison, Phil Spector and early English Mercy rock resound through Springsteen's music, and Bruce acknowledges his roots in concert by playing such, rock and roll classics as Gary U.S. Bonds' "Dancing Till a Quarter To Three," the Isley Brothers' "Twist And Shout," and the Survivors' forgotten masterpiece "Everytime That You (Walk In The Room)." Springsteen's original tunes to the themselves often harken back standard, timeless rock rhythms and guitar riffs of the fifties and early sixties. Born To Run opens with a twangy Telecaster hook fresh out of the Ventures and all those makeshift, tin California surf bands of the sixties, while "She's The One" on the same album borrows the old Buddy Holly "Not Fade Away" backbeat to build its driving, poetic paean to a strictly Peggy Sue. By adding the poetry to the rock, For the cool, laidback "Saint in the the joyous young rock and roller, however, there is still a way out of the "death trap" of this world. "Man, the dope's that there's still hope," Springsteen sings on his first album Greetings from Asbury Park, and his swinging, uptempo, rocking is a gospel tribute to this hope. Though the world is a cheap, phony, broken down carnival, we can still enjoy the few rides it has to offer. The "Spirit in the Night," the thrill of the Road, the soulful splendor of lust and love are all we need to "live with the sadness." With a steering wheel in his hand and his woman by the "scared and lonely rider" his can flee forever the "Jungleland" into which he was born. The "Last Chance Powerdrive" is always within our reach.

A live , Springsteen performance is as enlightening and entertaining as it is moving and poignant, and his stage and persona presence are always marked by a carefree sense of humor contemporary and however, the disciple moves one step beyond his avatars. It is the profound lyrical sensitivity of both his words and his music that allows Springsteen to bridge the gap from giant to genius in one quick leap. "I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh," Bruce announces in "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out," and his music and faith make it all so easy to do. Bruce Springsteen is not the James Dean of the seventies then, for unlike the rebel without a cause, he sees the cause but has abandoned the rebellion. Rock poet The title rock-poet has too often too many bequeathed on been undeserving figures by the rock media, but Springsteen may well be the first songwriter to deserve the accolade since Dylan and Lennon. Like both these poets, Springsteen sees modern youth stuck inside of Mobile, cold turkey in a desolate, decadent world.

However, it's rare on this campus that a show such as the one 2,100 people Saw in Clark Hall last Friday night can be had for so little or even for much more. Robert Klein, one of the best of the terrific "new" comedians, presented almost two hours of his scathingly honest comedy and amazingly sane craziness. Some tempers in the audience wore thin after a half-hour wait in the raw outdoors as UUAB finished setting up the sound system. But Klein, with his seemingly limitless energy and spontaneity, soon made it all forgotten. His performance included samples from most of his records, including his latest release. New Teeth. The "At the Dentist" routine was performed almost verbatim from the recording, as well as some of his routines mocking television commercials and movies "I wasn't sure what it was," he said later, "but I figured it, was some sort of x inside campus joke." Klein further proved that nothing and — no one is safe from his insanity.

A few minutes later, however, another man walked in front of the stage, waving his arms and yelling. It was later determined that both gentlemen were employees of Clark Hall's custodial staff, and were simply upset because the show was running so late. Klein took offense at die second man's actions, however. "If you don't like what I'm doing, don't listen," he shouted. "There's 2,000 people here who want to listen." Actually, there were more like 2,200 people, including the UUAB and Student Association (SA) workers.

When Things Were Rotten (Fresh) Somewhere in this fabled land, the sun is shining bright. Elsewhere, secreted in small cells here and there, lies a jolly band of revelers who hunkered down in front of the Tube with gustatory zeal whenever Get Smart rolled across the screen. Their reason was made clean every week during the opening credits: "Created by Mel Brooks . ." There was the gospel of the 2000-Year-Old Man ("I have over 42,000 children and not one comes to visit me."). They are the keepers of the flame, and it is them Brooks has returned. As producer and creator of When Things Were Rotten. Brooks is not, let me emphasize right now, chrurning out a Blazing Saddles every week. He's been around too long, in TV, films and on stage; to known enough not to shoot his entire wad each week (to borrow a handy showbiz cliche; but then, "show biz" is a showbiz cliche too). This is not a deification, either; Brooks is hardly above an occasional snatch from the Keystone bins, and the laughs do, at times, come cheap. But they do come, neither thick nor fast, but in sufficient numbers to prove, that Mel Brooks knows more than practically anyone else in television about what is really funny. He knows about the Saturday-matinee images that will always remain with us cowboys, haunted houses. In When Things Were Rotten we have the browbeaten peasants, whose last farthings are forced out of their grip by Prince John's tax collectors. SNAP! You ve got it Robin Hood! Of course.

Dimwit Maid Marian (Misty Rowe) and Dick Gautier a Robin Hood with every tooth in place lead a band of Merry Men (sfexism?) who raid Castle Nottingham, and exit to the strains of "You Gotta Be A Football Hero;" they also hold a feast where the cook wears one of those Woolworth-type barbecue aprons, this one emblazoned "I Hate Cooking And Prince John." The Sherrif of Nottingham is Henry Polic II, a delicious villain steeped in oil, vitriol and Bad Seasons. He's a parody of every leering, black garbed sadist you ever saw twist a rack, whose favorite archery target is mounted on the back of a peasant. Archery ran through the debut of When Things Were Rotten like swallows ran through Monty Python and the Roly Grail. Its basic plot was the archery-contest-to-lure-Robin-out-of-hiding bit; one of ’ the contestants represented "Lord McDonald's Golden Archers Over 1,000,000 Dispatched." Even the hoary old "Arrow Shirt" gag was pressed into service yet again. But Brooks' roots are as securely in vaudeville as anywhere; he's not cheating. The Monty Python foray into the medieval mists was more inspired and manic than Brooks' bombast, true. But the Pythons only had one shot at it; Brooks is doing a series, and he has to keep some perspective on longevity. This show, like all ideas, will exhaust itself in its time.

The multiple image, the photo story, the sequence and some photographic books have attempted to encompass - the continuity of time. The photo story often fluctuated between the necessity of choosing good picture and of having clear narrative. In practice, dull pictures broke the thread, regardless of how relevant their subject matter. Unlike film, in which time is truly plastic and continuous, a series of photographs is a sequence of arrests in time; the interstices are filled by the viewer, out of knowledge and associations with which he surrounds the individual pictures.

When the plane lost a propeller, Fung Joe Guey plummeted out of history as quickly as he had flown dizzily into it.

I think the magic is somehow contained in the combination of the two worlds Windrider managed to straddle; that of the dreamer and that of the mechanic. He is the mythical Chinese dragon both wise and powerful happily trapped in human flesh. One final note; Dragonwings, which is 248 pages long, which is set in small print, and which is the excuse for a great deal of fine, authentic writing, is being promoted as a "young adult" novel, a "junior" book. I freely admit I don't know what the hell these categories mean, but in placing this fact last I am instinctively following a standard which is as accurate as it is perverse: everybody hates young adults (even young adults), and therefore it does no good at all to mention such a prejudiced category at the beginning of a review. The "junior" status of this book puzzled me at first but then I remembered one thing and took the time to reflect on another. REMEMBERED: Dragonwings easily reduces to an inane, lightweight philosophical structure that is to say, it says too many sensible and humane things too clearly. Everyone knows an "adult" book must be both amoral and depressing if it is any good. The following would not do, for instance: "I had found my mountain of gold, after all," Moon Shadow reflects, "and it had not been nuggets but people who made it an • — the printed page. — — Because of this, there are some good moments, some memorable "pieces" like this one, celebrating a first visit to a "demon" (white) household: Robin Whitlaw, Moon Shadow's demon girl companion, sails a kite on a lonely beach; Black Dog, a psychopathic opium addict, menaces and thrills; and food, both Chinese and American, bulges life-like and tempting from — — One thing: Moon Shadow first comes to the "Land of the Golden Mountain" (the United States) when he is eight years old. Not only has he been raised on a farm, but he has been raised on a farm in "The Middle Kingdom" (China). Both of these factors distance him from "reality" in the urban, white United States. Much of the early book is seen through, the eyes of this young, credulous and intensely suspicious foreigner. There are more useful and lovely pieces left from the wreck of this book after I have read it: Windrider has a long, magical dream about his dragon ancestry; But what about Dragonwings as a "yellow” book as Oriental-American art? In a disappointingly clear way. Yep asserts in the "Afterword" that the book was partly written to dispel popular American stereotypes of the Chinese: Charlie Chan, Fu Manchu, clots of dumb houseboys. "I wanted to show that Chinese-Americans are human beings upon whom America has had a unique effect," he says. But Yep's exposition does not assert as much as his fiction convincingly invents: more than anything, modern Chinese-American literature needs to invent strong men. hero are nearly Atavistic variations of the excusable in a literature so desperate for central male figures. (Witness; Yardbird Reader, Volume Three most of which was devoted to yellow literature.) The same need is felt for strong women (mothers) as well. In Dragonwings, Moon Shadow's mother and the first excessively grandmother are remote presences understanding, and the second flatly crabby. Yep's book is just another illustration of how firmly dominated Chinese-American literature is by child narrators. In this context, Moon Shadow's clever eyes shine out like a — down to The historical trappings are accurate interior of a Chinese laundry before the San Franci but the family history and earthquake constellation of characters Yep weaves around the cei figure, the aviator, are entirely his own creation, inventory-hero is thankfully renamed "Windrider" most of what we learn about him.

On any sunny day you would see sailboats gliding over the surface, leaving fine white lines behind them that were their wakes. Their sails would belly out full and white before the wind. And the breeze would rise up from the bay, coo! and salty, passing over the hissing grass. From down the hill we heard the sound of breaking glass and rough, coarse laughter, and then six demon soldiers walked by, their blanket rolls bulging with loot. . . Their bay one tied rifles were slung over their shoulders, and their very red faces made me think they had been drinking stolen liquor. They were puffing away on fat cigars. . . It is tempting to say that some of the finest pieces of writing were "remembered" by Moon Shadow in his role as narrator, but were experienced by Laurence Yep himself, who grew up in the same part of the country. up." REFLECTED UPON: A friend of mine never gets tired of saying that all serious American literature was written first for children. I would not put Dragonwings in the category of Huckleberry Finn, but I would at least say there is a dragon hiding in this man Laurence Yep and probably in his future books. I sense that it is a powerful and magical dragon. —Corydon Ireland — This weekend Film fans rejoice You can draw your own conclusions as to the significance of the UUAB Film Committee showing Murder on die Orient Express and Hearts and Minds, the Vietnam documentary, on the same weekend.

Charlotte Rampling, initially a good and jagged actress in films like Georgy Girl, has become rather uninteresting of late, although this may'be due to the parts she's been playing, The Night Porter, etc. Here, as a femme fatale, it is difficult to tell whether Rampling is doing a stylized imitation of Lauren Bacall or is merely being stiff. Again Silvia Miles plays an aging slut and although she plays it well, * it is the fourth consecutive time. The screenplay by D.Z.

Prodigal Sun �RECORDS Grateful Dead/ Blues for Allah (Grateful Dead/UA Records) Jerry Garcia may well become the Guy Lombardo of the sixties' "love generation." (Guy Garcia and the Royal Californians?) Those of you who boogied, tripped and drank Ripple to the tune of Aoxomoxoa in 1968 will find Blues for Allah pleasant accompaniment for the /bellow moods which usually begin to set in at about 25. Those of you who weren't into the Dead seven years ago (and there are a lot more than are willing to admit it) have since replaced boogie, tripping and Ripple with the bump, 'ludes and Heineken's, and hence need something a little more substantial than Blues to keep them in sand Out in no man's land Where Allah does command What good is spilling blood? It will not grow a thing drown Dig it. There are two very good songs here, but strangely enough, they are both instrumentals and the shortest cuts on the album. "King Solomon's Marbles" is a a Bob Weir R&B song with atrocious vocal assistance by Donna Godchaux and a saxophone solo by someone named Steven Schuster. The title cut and the Glass following medley ("Sand Castles Camels"/"Unusual Occurrences in the Desert") form the only "progressive*' (in terms of the Dead) piece of music on the album, and aren't even that interesting. The words form a cute little prayer about the Mideast crisis, and are reproduced in English, Arabic, Hebrew and Persian on the lyric sheet: & The ships of Prodigal Sun state sail on Mirage and J. Geils Band, Hotline (Atlantic) Rock and roll is undergoing its death throes. Rock is splintering and fragmenting into a multitude of directions. The old guard or establishment headed by the Stones refuses to relinquish their Chuck Berry riffs and a musical paradigm that has outlived its usefulness and grown obsolete. The avant garde in rock is transmuting to a jazz synthesis with a prominent role being played by the keyboards and synthesizer. A mutant rock is being constructed which is shunning boogie and a strict guitar orientation. Progressive bands like Todd Rundgren's Utopia, Chick Corea and a host of others are hot in pursuit of more expansive and expressive musical rainbows. The J. Geils Band is an outstanding example of an old guard band meeting its Waterloo. It is a dinosaur plodding about and reeling in near unconsciousness as the ice age seals its fate. Hotline is the J. Geils Band latest offering. It is a textbook case of a band decaying from an antiquated musical approach. J. Geils is a second generaltion rock and roll band that plays with all the finesse and savvy of a musty garage crammed with acne pocked teenagers irritation. Perhaps VVolf should let Faye Dunaway, his wife, sing. It could only be an improvement. These bad boys from bean town are toil within the hellish 'and confines of artistic incoihsequentiality. Relics imprisoned in a time warp. Magic Dick's harp playing consists of recycling standard chops with such regularity that you can set your watch by it. J. Geils' guitar work is as enthralling as watching the stock boys at the local grocery stamp canned goods. The songs are exercises in stupidity and doomed to crippling ' awake at night. Okay, it does have a really nice cover (one of their best to date), a plastic-lined sleeve, and a neat skeleton picture on the label. However, what's in the grooves shows that, besides getting their own record company, the group has done nothing in the last three years. The material is Garcia's typical mealy-mouthed jello music, with a few exceptions. "The Music Never Stopped" is home about though, and besides, your parents probably already have it. -John Duncan jazz piece which, although slightly static, contains some nice riffing by Garcia on guitar and Keith Godchaux on electric piano. "Sage & Spirit" is a pretty acoustic piece showcasing Schuster on flutes and not sounding at all like the Grateful Dead. The hard-core Dead freaks among you will wish you had kept on reading this instead of throwing it away, since I have saved the good news for last: it's better than their last two. There is nothing nearly as bad as "Loose Lucy" or "U S. Blues" and nothing nearly as obnoxious as the horns used on parts of Wake of the Flood. What is on it is nothing to write attempting to emulate their idols. Peter Wolf's vocals try to capture the and flavor of Jagger. He fails miserably but even if he was successful, he would be parodying an anachronism. Wolf's jive greaser bromides contain none of Springsteen's razor sharp intensity or swooping metaphors. Wolf howls a vacuous ode to the bygone days when was applauded. Rock sheer audacity audiences have grown a mite more sophisticated and Wolf's ravings about "getting down" and other tripe laden cliches onlv oroduce fodder for ennui and essence consciousness lowering. The lyrics expound the gem-like wisdom of women knowing their place or else receiving an unrequested nose job and some unexpected dental work. Puerile sexual references, which are about as erotic as Doris Day in a housecoat, are sprinkled like fertilizer throughout the disc. Aside from these titanic shortcomings. Hotline is non-habit forming and easily assimilated by the likes of Gerry Ford and other frontal lobotomy patients. In summation. Hotline is like paying Ma Bell rip off rates for a bad connection with a wrong number. It must .be the death of rock and roll. Long live mutant madness. —C.P.

For instance, a major mistake on the album is the song they're promoting as their new single, "Out of Control," of Eagles' Desperado fame. The Eagles really justice. can't write this band off as just another mediocre rock and roll group. They played 170 concerts last year, and rumor has it that in the Midwest they're We R.E.O.

But for now, I don't think R.E.O. Speedwagon really means it. the potential group needs. They have the move, and a few changes could do it. They got a good start by getting Bill Szymczyk to produce the album. Szymczyk is responsible for a lot of good efforts from a lot of people, including the Eagles, Joe Walsh and Edgar Winter. His production mastery, and some decent guitar work by Gary Richrath, almost pull the album along. But what are they afraid- of? Lead-singer Mike Murphy has a good voice and plays a pretty good piano, but he seems to be holding back that to emotional burst that could make the group believable. And every time Richrath starts to wind up, the rest of the band joins in and everything gets back to •normal. No one is allowed to stray, even for a second, for fear that continuity will be lost. With exception, one are the songs original efforts and are capable of providing the background for a themselves DORM MICHAEL VOTE Day three: I guess country rock is inadequate as a description of the music of Michael O'Gara.

The gimmicks are for the most part new to Focus, with the exception of the familiar, possibly stolen, movie theme melodies used so successfully in the past. Of course, Thys van Ueer now plays synthesizers, and adds to the muzak-like quality of many songs with overabundant use of an ersatz string section. Jan Akkerman is now using a squalky-talkie guitar speaker (like Rufus) and although he plays some very nice acoustic (more than usual), he compensates for it with some bad solos previously unheard of from him.

The legislative interest in the enactment of Title IX should be the primary source of any determination as to the legality of any all-female courses. Nevertheless, this apparently was disregarded by the administration in directing the elimination of the classes whose subject matter was designed to correct the evils that had previously existed. Common sense in the application of the written word is not inconsistent the accomplishment of the ends of the law which in many cases is merely a poor attempt to graphically describe the legislative attempt. To summarize, I agree with your point of view and that of your editorial which I believe is better written than your news article. Incidentally, Title IX is the law. It does not “elucidate” the law. The two articles on the primary election in Buffalo deserve some comment. 1 think you would do a service to your readers if you gave wider coverage to the news of the incumbents and not portray the challengers as the exclusive possessors with of altruistic motivations.

Page fifteen �Vital role Fireflies used to detect early stages of cancer by Meg Covey Spectrum Staff Writer For centuries, the firefly’s ability to produce light has fascinated mankind. Found in many regions all over the world, the small nocturnal insect recently has become a crucial factor in cancer and other medical and environmental research. A report from the Sigma Chemical Company states that “The firefly is a valuable source of the rare chemical substrate luciferin, and enzyme luciferase. Used by research scientists and chemists the world over, these chemicals are playing vital roles in the search for possible cures of human ailments, including cancer.” The lantern has become an important research tool because of its extreme sensitivity to microscopic amounts of the energy-producing compound Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) in a mass of substance. detection Scientists have experimented with the firefly as a means of detecting cancer in its early stages. Results indicate that when the firefly chemicals are added to cancerous cells, the light intensity is much lower because the diseased cells contain less ATP than healthy ones. Milton J. Cormier wrote in Natural History magazine that “Tests for infectious bacteria in the urinary tract and bloodstream, which once took many hours, can now be done in minutes using the firefly system.” Researchers count the number of bacterial cells in an extract by adding luciferin and its luciferase. The Cancer Potent hobby. Taublieb warns that during this time period, people tend to become a bit overzealous in testing the wine. He suggested making “a little extra for tasting” or else “you won’t have the five gallons you thought you had.” In America, people like their wine clear, as opposed to who have no Europeans preference, Taublieb states. Wine will appear cloudy when the yeast particles are too light in weight and suspend in the liquid. To “fine” this wine, there are several procedures to choose from. use Wineries mechanical most amateur winemakers cannot afford this filters, but method. Instead, they may add bentonite, which is a form of clay. Otherwise, gelatin and tannin can be combined to the mixture, forming an electric attraction which will force the particles to the bottom of the bottle. “In the country, folks beat up the white of an egg with a cup of wine to absorb the particles,” Taublieb said, or they add a cup of milk to white wine. more bacterial cells there are, the more intense the light will be due to the higher amount of ATP. In another aiea of study, researchers discovered that the time spent in determining bacterial pollution levels in water has been significantly decreased through the use of firefly chemicals. Results that once took 48 hours to determine are now arrived at in four hours. Down through history Ancient Oriental, poets often commented on the bright flash of the firefly’s tail. Aristotle later observed that “. .some things, though they are not in their nature fire nor any species of fire, seem to produce light.” As Aristotle indicated, the firefly’s light gives off no heat, and it has thus come to be called “cold light.” Down through the ages, men such as believe they do. He bases his theory on the fact that there is one species whose Robert Boyle, Francis Bacon, Raphael females prey on males of other species by DuBois, and E. Newton Harvey have mimicing their flashes. Because the female studied the firefly’s luminescence.

All his wines are kosher. He emphasizes that white wine should be served chilled, while red wine tastes best at room temperature. Wine has been abundant in the cellar of Taublieb’s basement for years, and yet only recently has he achieved local fame, “WHEN announced that there would be a wine-tasting forum to promote a new wine. The guys at the library urged me to enter, although they wanted only novices,” he explained. This initial appearance led Taublieb to weekly appearances on the same show. As an aphrodesiac The increasing popularity of wine is becoming more evident on campuses. Irr many colleges, wine has become part of the curriculum in home economics, chemistry, botony, biology, geography and sociology. In winemakers are where ideas.

No one was indicted for failing to provide speedy and adequate medical attention to the inmates injured during the attack, and no one was indicted for lying about the hostages’ cause of death.

He has received numerous reports of “tenison” among the inmates and their keepers. Although some Puerto Rican and black guards have been added to the formally all-while prison staff, he said, there are none on the inmates' counseling staff. The overcrowded conditions, which were alleviated somewhat after the rebellion when authorities transferred some of the rebels to other facilities, has reappeared.

Page seventeen �Buffalo golf team: tradition of success by Larry Amoros Staff Writer Spectrum Coach Bill Dando of the Buffalo golf team is an irrepressable optimist. He has a lot of faith in this year’s team, and feels that it is his best squad ever. The Bulls started off this season in the same way they concluded the last one by winning. After the first match of the season against St. Bonaventure was rained out, they went to Erie, Pa. and defeated Gannon College 401-429. — Room for improvement? “We’re solid all the way through. We’re a better team than last year,” Dando observed. One has to wonder, though, how much* better they could possibly be. Last season they finished the year with a 14-1 record, and performed splendidly in post-season play. In the Tri-State Tournament, they placed third in a field of 16. They won the EC AC Qualifier, topping 35 other teams, and wound up fourth in the overall ECAC championship. Although Buffalo’s team average against Gannon may seem to be eighties aren’t a little high, Dando insists that it really indicative of what the kidii can do," said Dando. “I’m looking for improved golf out of Jim Batt and Dale Ackerman. I’m also counting on sophomore Greg Andzel for good golf.” Both Batt and Ackerman are seniors, and that may be the team’s only impending problem. Next year, the Bulls will Idse many of their top golfers. Last year’s team leaders, Jim Gallery and Rick Buczynski, have graduated, but Batt and Ackerman are there to step in and take their place. “I’m always looking for new blood. This team is mostly seniors and juniors,” said Dando. Success story Not surprisingly, hard work and experience have been the keys to the golf Bulls’ recent success. Heavy schedules, hard practices, and prior playing experience are three factors which have made the Bulls into a golf powerhouse in Western New York according to Dando. Using a system similar to the one employed by tennis coach Pat McClain, Dando allows several of his six reserve golfers to challenge the established players in practice. If they win, they might get a chance to compete in the next match. Dando noted, “They have no set positions. It keeps them on their toes.” The veteran squad will play its first home match on September 22 at the Audubon course against Oswego. Dando predicted that the Great Lakers along with the Purple Eagles of Niagara should give Buffalo its toughest competition of the year. (Del cl by David J. Rubin New York Jets 23, Buffalo 14.

Ms. Allende spoke to over 600 people in Norton Hall’s Fillmore Room Friday night. Elected to the Chilean Congress from the Socialist Party (SP) by the people of Santiago for three consecutive terms. Senator Allende was arrested after the September 11, 1973 right-wing coup, in which her brother, the President, and thousands of citizens were murdered. “President Ford admitted that the coup was aided by the CIA and the multi-national corporations,” she charged. “The fascists imposed a reign of terror on a people proud of its democratic heritage,” she added, “with brutality comparable to that of Nazi Germany.” New phenomenon on college campuses by Dan Hegeman Spectrum Staff Writer ‘Cretins’ in power In a press conference held Friday afternoon, she said that a coup staged by “traitor generals” can not take the title of parliamentarian away from her, “since it was given to me by the Chilean the Chilean workers” foremost. When she people arrested, she signed her name with, “Deputy of was the Second District of Santiago.” — The senior citizen as college student is a phenomenon occurring and universities throughout the country, particularly in urban schools. Retired men and women are attending regular college courses, generally tuition-free or at reduced cost. The senior citizens’ reasons for taking the courses vary. Often natural interest and a desire for personal growth are the only reasons. Occasionally, more practical reasons, such as taking a tax course to save money, are given. In many programs, credits are given and senior citizens may actually earn degrees. Many times the interaction of young and old is an education in itself. In a project at Fairhaven College in Bellingham, Washington, 31 men and women, each at least 60 years old, lived on campus in their own dorm and attended regular classes with the younger at colleges students. Feeling young When asked if they considered themselves old, all 31 of the senior citizens at Fairhaven, without exception, answered no. Eighty-one year old Mary Yotter said of her first class at Fairhaven, “Well, I never saw such a thing. I walked in late. The students were all over the floor, lying on their stomachs, on their backs, and every which way. I learned afterwards that the fellow sitting in the chair leading the class wasn’t the teacher. The teacher was down on the floor with the other students. This was a whole new world for me.” The senior citizens at Fairhaven adjusted quite well to their “new world,” however, and it proved to be an invaluable experience. One octagenarian said, “This has been a real education for me. I’ve learned to accept the modern mode of dress and hair style. Before, hair and jeans meant ‘hippies,’ a term 1 used as a sort of unthinking blanket denunciation. But now 1 know that beneath the whiskers and long hair there will be a delightful person.” Mutual exchange Not only the senior citizens learned and grew from the experience, though. The students also gained from it. Discussing the Fairhaven project in American Education Magazine Catherine Davis writes, “For some students, seeing the older people actively involved at Fairhaven has helped to dispel some of their fears of old age and, for others, there has been the simple pleasure of getting to know older people.” Here at this University, 74-year-old Mary English, taking courses in the Science of Georgraphy and Early American History, spoke of “feeling welcome,” said the “young people” were nice and that the professor seemed glad to have her. She “didn’t feel out of place,” as she had first feared. She plans to resume courses after January. Most senior citizens taking courses here are participating through the “Sixty Years of Age or Over Auditing Program.” Administered by the Division of Continuing Education and Millard Fillmore College, the program allows senior citizens (60 and over) to sit in on courses, on a space available basis. Both day and evening courses are included in this program, and there is no tuition charge or fees, no , —continued on page 2— —Burke Laura Allende Between her five arrests, she aided the underground resistance. After the last arrest, she was taken to the Alamos prison camp, and held for five months. She was mistreated the first day of her arrest, and suffered deteriorating health, but was not tortured, as many others were, because of her international recognition. When asked by her captors what she thought of the military rulers, she replied, “I don’t have anything to say. Cretins thoughts can’t be changed.” Under growing demands for her release, she was deported to Mexico in March of 1975, and vowed to “continue abroad as a representative of the people and soldiers in the resistance.” Life deteriorates Since the coup, life for practically everyone has grown miserable. Workers do not make enough to feed their families, earning “only enough to eat for ten days out of a month,” she explained. The rectors of schools at all levels, from primary school to university, have been replaced by military men, they can “who have no academic qualifications only march and shoot.” The academic level has decreased so much that the “general culture has retrogressed to a stage where it was 50 years ago.” Books continued to be burned; not only Marxist and socialist books, but works of liberal professors, such as John Kenneth Galbraith. Under the popular Unity government, tremendous efforts were made to bring workers and peasants into the educational life of the country. “Our goal was to make the universities a creative institution for all people, geared to serve their needs,” Ms. Allende said. — Education under attack Since the coup, all of this has been reversed, the University statute has been nullified, and democratic rights of free speech, meeting and petition have been abolished, along with teachers unions, Ms. Allende maintains. Some “1,600 a c ad SWuUita* have beer eliminated,” she stressed, while entire department: in the social sciences, humanities and philosoph> have been closed down. A professor of Bio-Chemistry at one leading university noted that “of 40 members of his faculty, only 11 remain,” she added. Seventy-one of the mathematicians at another percent University have left, while the Chilean Biological society announced a loss of 71 percent of their members in 1974. The severe conditions, economic hardships and lack of academic freedom have caused the “exodus of those scholars” that have not been arrested, she emphasized. “Scientific investigation is presently non-existent in our country,” she concluded. Isolate the junta Additionally, thousands of students have been expelled for suspicion of opposition to the junta. Sixty-five percent of the students at a technical university were expelled, while nearly half of the 35,000 students formerly enrolled at the University of Santiago have been thrown out. The introduction of military training in all schools, beginning in elementary grades, is the only new feature in Chilean education. “The North American people and academic community can not be indifferent to this destruction of education and culture,” she lamented. Making references to the broad support the Vietnamese and Kent State students received from the American public, she urged Americans to “demand that the military junta not receive representation in the [U.N.] General Assembly” when they come up for discussion next month. She pointed out that the U.N. has taken positions to deny aid or recognition to other countries guilty of “violations of human rights,” such as Rhodesia and South Africa.

The program was started in the fall of 1974 with 42 people taking part. Student Affairs Taskthe Force Affairs Task v Why go back? A questionnaire designed by the staff of Millard Fillmore College was sent to the 42 participants, with 32 returned. One item in the questionnaire asked the senior citizens about their main objectives in taking courses. The answers fell basically into five categories. Cultural achievement was cited most often by the participants (75 percent) while only four people mentioned preparation for a new endeavor, such as a part-time career after retirement or volunteer work requiring new knowledge or training. Updating of knowledge obtained in earlier years, contact with specialists and scholars, and contact with young adults were also cited by the senior citizens. included: to understand oneself better by taking course, to keep intellect alive, to gain exposure to different viewpoints, to have fun, to learn more and to learn up-to-date business methods. NYPIRG challenges charges for phone information calls Sticking it out 1 6'f those who responded, 84 percent remained with the course until its conclusion. Certain drawbacks did arise, however, and certain improvements were suggested. Parking was a major problem. Ms. English mentioned great parking problems and two tickets "which made the courses a bit more expensive” than she had expected. To help remedy this, suburban participants are advised to take courses at the Ridge Lea or Amherst Campus. Some of the senior citizens participating in the undergraduate program have expressed a desire to continue their education by taking professional school courses. However, these courses are not open to them currently. Many of the senior citizens in the 60 and Over Program were surprised that such a small number of people in their age bracket take advantage of the opportunity to return to school. Robert Bear, one of the participants, described it as a "wonderful program." but stressed that senior citizens in general did not seem to be aware of it He felt senior citizen organizations should spread the word to their members. New horizons In general, senior citizen college programs give these people a fulfilling way to spend their leisure time. It allows them continued intellectual growth through contact with dew people and new ideas. It gives them a chance to remain active in retirement and allows them an opportunity to do what they never had time for in the past. Connie Miller is a retired medical secretary taking courses at Fairhaven College. “So many of us were so busy living day to day during the years of raising a family, we had little time for cultural activities,” she said. “Those of us who worked saw the same people for the last 20 years. At Fairhaven we meet a new group of people; we don't live in the past. We have a chance to grow. I think when we leave here, we will be prepared to continue to broaden our acquaintances and to be more understanding of young people and young ideas.” .SALE SHICKLUNA BICYCLE SHOP 1233 Niagara St. (At Breckenridge) 884 2670 BUFFALO, N Y.

There membership The New York Telephone Company’s practice of charging for directory assistance in obtaining long distance area codes has been challenged by a New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) petition. A Public Service Commission (PSC) staff recommendation issued Friday supports the NYPIRG petition, holding that the “New York Telephone Company’s (decision to charge] for area code requests is completely unauthorized by this Commission.” The staff report was written after a study of the hearing records which led to approval of the directory assistance charges. The recommendation to eliminate the charges will be considered by the PSC. which has the final say in Ross would not estimate how much telephone company customers have been overcharged, but speculated that businesses, which place a disproportionate, share of long distance calls, have probably been affected most. Private consumers, however, may be discouraged from requesting area code information and from making as many long distance calls as they have been, Ross noted. Reimbursement problems the matter. The NYPIRG petition requests the PSC “to order the New York Telephone Company to immediately cease this practice." The phone company now charges S.IO per call for information, with no charge for the first six calls each month and a S.30 credit if no requests for , directory assistance arc made.

The PSC staff report supported this interpretation, stating. "Nowhere in the voluminous record of this case was such a proposal broached by the company.” ' problem of reimbursing subscribers, who have overpaid still remains. Should the PSC give an unfavorable ruling on the petition, “NYPIRG will consider taking the case to court,” Ross Said. Ross hopes that close monitoring of telephone company billing practices will help prevent further abuses. NYPIRG also expects to publish a consumer's guide describing how to challenge a telephone bill.

Desires, thoughts, ambitions in seething confusion. God only knows what will come of them. A hundred young soldiers, eighteen lieutenants, thirty warrant officers and noncoms, all sitting here, wanting to start to live . . . Every man has been tempered through countless, pitiless days, every man is a complete soldier, no more and no less. But for peace? Are we suitable? Are we anything but soldiering? fit now for The Vietnam conflict is over But for a decade Vietnam occupied the center of American politics, newspaper headlines, and social controversy. It fostered the rebirth of extreme patriotism and extreme dissent. “War-monger,” “Draft-dodger,” “Hawk,” “dove,” weapons “pacification,” and “genocide” became that did nearly as much damage here at home, though in a different sense, as the guns and bombs of the “hot war” in Southeast Asia. The Vietnam conflict is over. And more than 6 million young Americans who took part in it are Home. Some crippled, some blind, some scarred, some condemned to relive moments of that war for the rest of — their lives. The Vietnam conflict is over. We can put it behind us. We can go to work or school today and not have to think about what the casualty reports will be on this evening’s news, or if there will be a demonstration or a riot. The Vietnam conflict is over. But what of those individuals who had to become an integral part of that conflict no matter what the reason? Can they simply pick up where they left off? Can they go back to what their lives were before they were so rudely interupted? The Vietnam conflict is over. So who are those individuals. Where did you come from? Where are you going? — You’re free You start in California, or Texas, or New Jersey, or ary cne of the dozen or so separations processing centers around the continental United States. You take your final physical, collect whatever pay is coming to you, and get into a dress uniform. Then a “boot” lieutenant (“boot” meaning just ou of training) reads a copy of a prepared “Thank you” message, from the President (in the name of a “greatful nation*) and informs you that ’Vou have 24 hours to get off the base. You’re our!! For a few days or a week, or ev«!n a month you think you’re on top of the world. No one giving you orders, no orders to give, no uniforms, no reville, just freedom! Time to forget the whole damn thing! Get back to being “human” again. Then the thought occurs to you. “What do I do now?” You probably thought about it a lot before yriu got out. Maybe you even have Something lined up. But veterans have it made! what difference does that make Look at what they got after W.W. II and Korea. And no sweat! you’re a vet Suddenly, or maybe not so suddenly, you begin to notice that all those “great” G.I. benefits you’d been told about aren’t so great after all. Sure, you can collect unemployment. But what happens when that runs out? Where do you find a job as a machine gunner, or a * .. - - missle technician, or i radioman, or a flight officer in the civilian world? Then you realize you’re 25 or 26 years old and can’t get a decent job. You can’t compete with that 21 year old who was getting his college degree while you were off in some “tropical paradise” getting shot at. Maybe you’re married and have a kid or two. How do you keep them clothed, fed and happy? Then you begin to take notice of the world around you. Nobody’s praising Vietnam veterans. There were no parades, no brass bands, no big “Welcome Home” headlines in the local newspapers. You tell a prospective employer you’re a veteran and suddenly he looks at you almost questioningly. Maybe he watched differently last night’s SWAT episode and is wondering if you’re one of “those” veterans. O.K. So you don’t have a marketable skill. Go to school. Get trained. The Government will pay for it. They said so, didn’t they? You soon find out your education benefits will let alone pay barely pay the rent and buy food tuition. Then you find out the proposed increase in your benefits has been vetoed by the same President who only a few weeks earlier said “we cannot and we must not forget the veterans of Vietnam.” - — — The road back So''you seem to be “forgotten” after all. Well, maybe its better that way. Who wants to be remembered for an “unpopular” or “immoral” war anyway? Ironically, it was an American General, George S. Patton, who said “Americans can’t stand a loser They will not tolerate a loser . .” And buddy, you’re a loser! But you have no choice. You need a decent job but you can’t get one. And it’s not just because the times are tough! Unemployment among young veterans is nearly double that of other young jobseekers. So you ask your wife to get a job . . . babysitting or something, or you get a part-time job yourself, for two bucks an hour. Then you take a deep breath and start back to school. - — You don’t know what courses to take you haven’t been to school in years since you were a “kid.” You wonder if you’re capable of doing college work. Worst of all, you’ll be an “old man” in a classroom full of 18 or - 19 year olds. How will you fit in? Will you be accepted?, Will you be able to handle a “hostile attitude” if you encounter it? Or will you just be an idle curiosity or a “freak” to youf classmates? Well, who gives a dman?! Besides you that is . . . So you go to school and find nobody takes much notice. There are even a couple other vets in your class. If you can just manage to keep the money trickling in and get some decent grades, maybe you'll be able to support yourself and your family in three or four years jr- maybe. — part-time job, if benefits don’t get cut back, if The Vietnam conflict is over. But for veterans here and on other college campuses, in vocational centers, training establishments, and continuing education programs around the country, it has not ended, but only transformed itself into a struggle for economic and social survival. The Vietnam conflict is over. Like so many of the subjects of political history, the Viet vets learn bitterly that all the fuss was not about their lives in particular, but about other “more important” issues. The veterans attending classes here are no different than veterans anywhere else. But more important, they are no different, than any other individual transitioning to a new way of life. Obstacles -must be overcome, problems must be solved, adjustments must be made. For most, college is, or will become, a rewarding and enjoyable experience. New friendships will be made, opportunities discovered, and knowledge gained. They’ll come away with a greater understanding of the world around them, and the forces that have shaped their lives. So now is the time to put the war behind, to turn our minds and energies to the future. There they stand now and propose to leach us again. But we expect them to set aside their dignity. For, after all. what can they leach us? We know life now better harsh, than they; we have gained another' knowledge bloody, cruel, inexorable But for peace? Are we suitable? Are we fit now for anything but soldiering? - ' ... Struggle to survive The important thing is you've begun again. Sure, you’ve got a long way to go. But you should make it, if prices don’t go up too much, if the Veteran’s Administration (VA) doesn’t foul up your checks, if you don’t get sick, if the federal or state governments decide to help out with a useful loan or maybe a bonus like the of the “better” wars got, if you don’t wind up in the VA hospital because of a service incurred wound that won’t leave you alone, if you can keep that veterans They must begin again ...

He is interested in writing about veterans on campus. italicized passages in the above The “commentary” were taken from The Road Back by Erich Maria Remarque. LJGL closing at midnight Budget cuts lead to earlier library closing times Budget cuts have forced the University libraries to shorten their service hours for this year. Most directly affected are those students who study or read in the libraries during the late-night hours. The Undergraduate Library (UGL) which previously operated from 8 am.—3 a.m. will now at midnight. The Ellicott Library which was open until midnight last year now closes at 10 p.m. The Ridge Lea Library will not open at all on Sundays. According to Robert Burton, close Assistant Director of Public Services, each library cut the hours which staff members felt were the least damaging to the student body. “It is not so much a budget cut as it is the raising of the minimum wage,” that accounts for the decrease in available funds, he said. While acknowledging that cutbacks are needed, Student Association (SA) Director for Academic Affairs David Shapiro feels cuts should not be made in areas where literally hundreds of students are affected. Burton said the University is well aware of the problems created by earlier closing hours. But, he added that at the present time, there just is no money to be allocated for extending the hours. “Most of the library staff is comprised of students and there is no money to pay them,” he noted. Exam hours An idea to utilize volunteer has been considered, he said. Burton promised that all possibilities will be looked into, but, he cautioned that volunteers need a supervisor present, a situation that again poses help financial problems. The threat also exists that the libraries will not be able to remain open later during exam times. “We’re hoping that enough savings will be amassed in order to extend the library hours during He exams,” Burton said. announced Library’s that the Art relocation at the Ellicott Complex in mid-November will alleviate some of the pressure on the Hall Library as far as accommodating students during the peak hours of use. The issue is not closed, Burton said. Alternatives are still being probed. Shapiro has sent a letter to President Robert Ketter regarding the library problem and noting the need for a quick resolution. “The University is creating a real human problem,” Shapiro said. “Dorm students particularly need a quiet place to study. The University has a commitment to insure this.” SA President Michele Smith emphasized the need for the late night hours: “Late night library hours provide >8 vital service for all students. Students go to the libraries at times when there is no other place to go for studying and research.” The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer by The Spectrum Student Periodical, Inc.

The Twenty-Eight Points were, once and for all, rejected by the inmates, and a compromise did not seem possible. A failure The prisoners were stripped of all their clothing and forced to march in lines around the yards nude, hands on their heads. The purpose for this, authorities told the McKay Commission, was to ascertain that the prisoners no longer had any weapons and that they were not hurt. Immediate medical help, however, was delayed by the authorities. There were reports of prison officials abusing prisoners in retaliation for the rebellion. Large numbers of inmates were forced to crawl across long distances of the muddy yard. The Observers that had remained at Attica heard the bullhorn and the firing, and some broke into tears. Wicker partly blamed himself: “They had all failed. Thirty-five dead was evidence enough . . .Wicker believed he had witnessed, had been part of, a a failure profound human failure, too of understanding, of courage, of intelligence, above all hostages blindfolded to the walkway over Times Square, and held knives was rightfully his alone to bear. But it was enough, he knew, enough for anyone.” The attack At 9:43 a.m., the prison’s power circuit was cut off. A helicopter dropped CS gas into D yard, and the marksmen commenced firing. An officer in the helicopter proclaimed through a bullhorn over and over, “Put your hands on your head and you will not be harmed.” Yet, there were reports of indiscriminate firing, not only the by state troopers, but also, according to the New York Times’ columnist Tom Wicker, eleven Attica Prison Corrections Officers, unauthorized to fire at the time, who poured down rifle shots from the third floor of C Block. Five minutes after the attack began, most of the inmates in the yard were coughing and weeping, practically blinded by the CS bas and unable to use whatever weapons they had left. The yard, one prisoner told Cinda Firestone in her documentary movie, Attica, “looked like a battlefield,” littered with the bodies of 29 prisoners and 9 hostages; all of whom were killed, it was later determined, by bullets. None died Laura Allende the extreme torture and murder of Chilean prisoners. With controlled emotions, Ms. Allende spoke of the horrible treatment she witnessed while in jail herself, and the completely bestial depravity of the junta’s prison guards. One young woman had lost an eye, another was torturned with electricity applied to her genitals, while a third, only 17 years old, was forced to have with a dog. The prisoners could hfear the footsteps of the guards coming late at night for their victims. “I am an old woman,” she said quietly, “and can still remember this last girl shake, with tears running down her face, waiting in fear of being selected. We have very deep wounds.” Yet, because of these crimes, the opposition to the junta grows. Ms. Allende said that many prison guards come for the torture sessions with masks, “so as not to be identified after liberation.” in Resistance is growing Workers have staged slow-downs, secret pamphlets have appeared in Santiago denouncing the junta and calling to organize both the legal and clandestine resistance. Recently, a huge paper plant with ties to the junta, was gutted by fire.

A revolutionary movement must organize its own defense, including having an armed people, she added. While some scattered guerilla, warfare has taken place, the primary emphasis appears to be towards organizing the internal structure and winning broader majorities of people to support and participate in its development. Ms. Allended is being sponsored in this country by the National Coordinating Center in Solidarity with Chile, headquartered in New York, and has already spoken in the Massachusetts House of Representatives and the Women's Political Caucus in Boston, and at a rally of 1,000 people in New York.

The new Student Senate will assume the legislative functions of the old Student Assembly under the terms of the new Student Association (SA) Constitution, which was ratified by the student body in a referendum last spring. The new Constitution established the Senate to deal with all non-budgetary policy matters. A separate budget-making body, the Financial Assembly was also designated by the Constitution, The Senate will be composed 10 will be of 45 members elected this week by the student body, 10 are elected from within the SA Academic Affairs task force, 10 from the Student Affairs task force, 10 from the Student Activities and Services task force, and the 10 members of the SA Executive Committee will automatically become Senators. Ten Senators will also comprise a Finance Committee which will automatically serve on the Financial Assembly. hassle-free and possible enjoyable as Mike Jones, commuter The first order of business for the Senate and Financial Assembly will be allocating $15,000. A list of people who got screwed and need more money: Commuters; they got only $1500, about 65 cents per commuter. Activities: a little more money can make life a lot more bearable. Speaker’s Bureau: highest priority on the questionnaires, cut $2000 last year. Academic Clubs: screwed royally, but less important than the rest. — Undivided attention According to the Constitution, six of the ten Senators elected from the student body must be off-campus residents, and four must be dormitory residents. There are 22 candidates running for the 10 Senate positions in this week’s elections. In drawing up the new Constitution, the Constitutional Reform Committee felt that since the budget consumes so much time and attracts so much attention, it merits an assembly of its own. The Reform Committee felt the new Senate could give its undivided attention to legislative matters The following are personal campaign statements by the 22 Senate candidates: Patricia Lovejoy, commuter The Senate’s main aims should be to see that students are able to attend school without major hassles from'faculty, staff or other students. It is also important to see that the freedom of the Colleges’ learning environment is maintained, especially that of Women’s Studies College. We should try our best to make the commuter’s stay here as Gene loli, commuter The position of Student Senator under the new Constitution entitles the holder to a fairly large amount of control in deciding where your S67.00 activity fee will go. This fact alone should at least encourage you to vote and become familiar with both the Constitution and the candidates. My first priority is to educate the students to realize that they make up the largest population of consumers at this University, and whether we need more buses out at Ellicott and Governors, or smaller classroom populations, they have the power to make such requests. Diane Schomers, commuter Initially, the Senate should be publicued to the student body as far as meetings and agendas go. The students are aware of SA happenings, such as music and art events, but may not be aware of budget happenings. The Constitution again needs revamping. Many loopholes seem Also, more to be apparent activities should be directed toward the commuter students, especially social events. Steve Spiegel, commuter The priorities should be the smooth functioning of the student government to serve the student body of this University. Bearing in mind there are varied interests in this school, the Senate’s job is to be open to all those students and serve each accordingly, resolving conflicts when necessary, and being as fair as possible in the process.

Using my experience, I hope to contribute to keeping the Senate on a course of accountability and responsibility Jeffrey (Jeffy) Schier, commuter This year, there is a new, probably elitist SA Constitution, budget cuts, and a reaffirmed apathy. The community, through commuters, CAC, NYPIRG, minorities, etc. can be joined against the rampant submergence in this institution's bureaucracy. I will attend the Senate meetings, possibly accomplishing something. I may be underweight, but 1 won’t be undermined. JudysSack. commuter The Senate should encourage the participation of all students in all of its program. Senators should have a broad view ol all students interests. By cooperating with each other they can develop projects which will benefit a maximum number of people, such as greater control of administrative policies, more health care, recreation, and entertainment Alice Engelmann, commuter The number one priority of the Senate should be whatever will benefit the majority of the students attending this University I both dorm and commuter students. By doing so we can eliminate some of the tension that I feel exists between dorm and commuting students. Every issue that comes up in the Senate will inevitably affect a great number of us and at this particular time I find it difficult to state my individual opinion upon what the Senate priorities should be. We can have a more together University if we can first learn to cooperate with each other. - John Siegel, commuter 1 believe the Senate should be interested in the needs of the students first and foremost. It should represent the students in all matters at which they cannot be present. Senators have the responsibility to keep the University and its legislation contemporary. Mark Silverman, commuter I believe the priorities of the Senate should be to provide responsible representation of all students. In the past I have seen, much too often, the interests of commuter students as well as other minority groups disregarded by one Student Assembly after another. The Senate should now have the opportunity to correct it With the mandatory placement of six commuters on the Senate, I am sure that they will be heard if the right people are chosen. Steve Milligram, commuter The priorities of the Senate should be advocation of students’ rights and not being an elitist body simply serving its own needs. This University is run for students, particularly the undergraduate students, the largest constituency in this school. The Senate can only be as strong as the support it gets from the student body. If we can get together, we can do anything. It is towards these ends that I am running for the Senate. Jill Siegel, commuter The students’ voice must be heard and represented. The campus is currently going through the transition between three locations and there is a lack of cohesiveness. The Student Senate should handle the problems students encounter traveling, and should try to find out what is happening on all campuses. There has also been severe budget cuts, eliminating day care and some departments. The Student Senate must take responsibilities for these problems. —continued on page 6 Research Money Available The Undergraduate Research Council is making limited research grants to SUNYAB undergraduates TO QUALIFY: You mast be an andergraduate You mast have a faculty sponsor & be registered in a 400 level indepehdent stady coarse 3.

Soon the building of more May by Paul D. Taublieb Spectrum Staff Writer OCS Offshore drilling on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) is becoming a visible reality. Eventually the horizon of the Atlantic Ocean, from Long Island to Delaware, will bear witness to America’s latest efforts to extract oil from the earth. In compliance with the National Energy Policy ACT (NEPA) of 1969 the Interior Department has become involved in selling leases for offshore drilling on the Atlantic OCS. The seeling process is a regulated four step procedure, and the Interior Department announced three weeks ago that the first, the “Call for Nominations and Comment,” has been completed. This step outlines the general area to be considered for leasing (in this case, the OCS from the end of Long Island to Rehoboth, Delaware), and begins a Questionable data? The Interior Department sells the areas based on estimates of their potential yield. These estimates, however, are often vague and questionable, since the Interior Department relies on the oil companies to supply seismic and geophysical data made prior to any exploratory drilling. This raw information is sold to the government, but the oil companies data interpretations are withheld. Thus, largely on the basis of guesswork, the Interior Department leases the land to the oil companies who .are operating with some degree of experience. The result of this is that the government deals out tracts of valuable publicly-owned land for a tiny fraction of the uneducated preliminary investigation into the probable effects of the drilling. actual worth.

Wednesday, 17 September 1975 99c • Many Patterns �Be-A-Friend Buffalo Youth Board needs volunteers for big brothers Male volunteers are needed to be Big Brothers to boys in Buffalo, according to Bob Bertone, program coordinator of the Buffalo Youth Board’s Be-A-Friend program. There are about three hundred applications pending for boys who need Big Brothers, Bertone said, and there is a special need for minority male volunteers to fill the gap. The Be-A-Friend program, attempts to find volunteers to act as an older friend for troubled boys, many of whom come from deprived backgrounds. The boy may not have a father in the home, or the father might be unable to handle his responsibilities. Often, the child's home environment may reflect itself in anti-social behavior or problems in scKool. Positive model Bertone suggested that having a “big brother" often provides a positive model for the boy to relate to and can often keep a boy who just needs some guidance from getting into trouble with school or the police. Kids tend to come to the Be-A-Friend program from several sources, said Bertone. Many come from broken homes, where they sometimes are used as pawns between warring relations, or as referrals from agencies or institutions. Sometimes, the child is referred by a school psychologist or child abuse authorities. Sometimes parents themselves request a big brother or big sister, Bertone added. He explained that many more requests for help are made on behalf of males than females, perhaps because more people worry about males with adjustment problems than about females and therefore, there is not as great a need for big sisters as for big brothers. The long view Bertone stressed, though that the most important consideration with volunteers is that they be able to work with a boy for a fairly long period of time (Be-A-Friend asks for a one year minimum commitment) and that they be here summers. Interrupting relationships formed with big brother after shorter periods of time may be harmful to the boy, and thus should be avoided, Bertone observed. Thus, there is a need for local people, rather than those who spend summers with their families elsewhere. According to an organization pamphlet, the Big Brother program tries to avoid the aura of a “professional” worker trying to “help" a child. “Just the fact that he (the professional) is there indicates the child might have a problem,” the pamphlet points out. “The volunteer, who is often much closer in age to the child, does not present this view. The ‘friend’ does not delve into the child's problems, but rather is there when the child is ready to speak about them." Screening People who apply to be volunteers do have to go through a screening process to ensure the best possible match between boy and big brother. While initial recruiting and screening of volunteers is done by Bertone, final match-up of boys and volunteers are done by Be-A-Friend founder and director Bob Moss. Be-A-Friend started in 1971 as a project of the University's Community Action Corps (CAC). but has since had most of its funding taken over by the Buffalo Youth Board. However. CAC still provides some help and money, as well as use of space in their office. Bertone requests that any student interested in volunteering for the Be-A-Friend program contact him at the CAC office, 345 Norton, or call him there at 831-3609.

Urban Studies offers courses to student body The College of Urban Studies, with its diversified staff of judges, police, lawyers, urban planners, and politicians, provides students with an opportunity to play an active role in urban affairs. Along with faculty from various University departments, the unique professional helps students analyze the realities of urban problems with which they have dealt. ■'The professionals can offer extensive practical knowledge to the student, which cannot be book-learned," said Robert Paaswell, the College's Chief Administrative Officer. People that include the Chief Investigator into the Western New York nursing home scandals and the Buffalo Police Chief of Homocide. allow students to see, first hand, the problems of crime in our communities, he added. Administration of justice Hoi example, one course. "Decision-Making in the Police Judicial Correctional System (PJC)" explains how critical decisions to arrest, prosecute, and sentence are made. The class also defends real criminals hy writing a "pre-sentence memorandum," the only document a judge sees before coming to a final decision in the case of a person who is serving probation on another sentence. In this capacity, the students do a service to the community while learning about the administration of justice. Other areas which are covered in the urban studies curriculum include urban law. justice, politics, city design, social structure and dynamics, environmental psychology, social analysis, and research. New focus A new locus of interest in the College is the placement of students into city government positions. Students may still register for a four-credit internship for one of several research and development or administrative posts. It is anticipated that after successful completion of an internship, the student may be added to the city payroll The Citizens Advisory Committee of Buffalo, which draws up proposals for revenue sharing and serves as a consultant to the Mayor, is one of many city political organizations which have space available for student staffing. "Buffalo is starving for young people with good ideas,” said Steve Schwartz, co-ordinator of the internship program. Through this kind of program, it is hoped that University students will help to improve the city government at the same lime they enjoy an active, challenging role in urban affairs in Buffalo.

A solution for NYC To the Editor the bomb nears the final stages of development, the tests could be explained away as “brownouts.” No one would question it. Finally the day would come when Mayor Beame could send a telegram to Governor Carey, with a message something like this; WE HAVE BOMB AIMED AT GOVERNOR’S MANSION / SEND THREE BILLION BY SUNDAY OR ELSE. ABE. The Governor would know immediately that the telegram was not a hoax, that it had to be from 15 words, right on the nose. Mayor Beame Carey would take the problem directly to Washington, and from then on it would be smooth sailing for New York. If the Capitol agreed with the Governor, Beame would receive enough federal funds to put the city on its feet again. And if Washington should turn Carey down, all Beame would have to do is threaten to turn his bomb on the Vice President’s $35,000 Max Ernst bed. He’s have a preliminary New York City Mayor Abraham Beame has been his city out of the financial hole that it’s currently in. He must be receiving many types of suggestions on how to get the city going again. We would like to suggest something a little different a bit drastic, perhaps, but the way things are going, a drastic solution may turn out to be the most effective one for New York. Several smaller nations are gaining the potential to build nuclear weapons. Whenever it seems likely that the “nuclear club” may get a new member, the United States takes special note; often, we send large amounts of foreign aid to these nations, just to make sure they stay on our side. If New York City built its own bomb, secretly, and then approached Washington, it would certainly have a better chance at the bargaining table. New York has the potential to accomplish a second Manhattan Project in secret. The Statue of Liberty would be an ideal location for a nuclear plant; all the city would have to do is close it off to all visitors, and claim that it was under repairs. As trying everything to get On the second anniversary of the right-wing coup in Chile, one can hardly be indifferent to the steadily mounting evidence implicating our government, the CIA and the multi-national corporations, such as ITT, in the overthrow of the democratically-elected government of Salvadore Allende. Our nations major newspapers and television stations, Senate hearings and statements of our government leaders, have all confirmed the reports that citizens committees, such as the National Coordinating Center for Solidarity key to the Federal Treasury in the next morning’s with Chile and the Buffalo Committee for Chilean mail. Democracy, documented much earlier. There is no longer Helen A.

The result is that a handful of wealthy corporate owners have increased their wealth and power, while the majority of Chileans have sunk into exteme poverty. It should be clear: when a nation's production is carried out under a system of private ownership for private profit, the needs and interests of the majority are compromised. While we have growing problems in our own country which must be attended to, we must also lend a hand to the Chilean people. We must press Congress to stop all aid to the Chilean government, and urge the United Nations to refuse to recognize the Chilean rulers, as long as they continue to violate the rights and lives of the Chilean people.

In May of this year, M&T Bank instituted a 50 cent per month service charge, in addition to the regular 15 cents per check, without notifying its student clientele An inquiry by a friend who lives outside of Buffalo in the summer, and who was not notified of the charge, brought the following response from the bank: student addresses generally unclear; however, the charge to date are can be reversed.

All deposits can be made by mail. By opening a saving account at a savings bank (such as Brie Federal across the street), one can obtain petty cash when needed. Fifteen cents per check is a substantial charge, but an unannounced service charge imposed right before a large block of the bank’s clientele leaves for the season is intolerable. I think it important that the student body be made aware of this occurrence and the alternatives open to it, so that a student may judge for himself whether M&T deserves to keep his money. Peter Seirup Gray on gray It seems that only the negative aspects about are publicized 1 must admit that these gloomy thoughts were trotting through my mind before going out on the scene and doing my own research. This is how it went: As soon as I arrived at Ellicott I was overwhelmed by crowds of sullen faces slowly rising to their feet to enter the bus 1 was leaving. 1 was perplexed so I asked one of the slowest of the sullen why this atmosphere of sadness. Immediately his face lit up, and very convincingly told me the why of it all. “The bus stop is one of the finest places on campus,” he said. “It’s always a very sad moment in my day when I have to leave.” I really couldn’t see why. He looked at me as if I were bizarre and said, “Come on, man, look around. Can’t you see that this is one of the finest sites on campus? Look at the subtle interplay of gray on gray. This is certainly one of the finest examples of that grand American tradition, bus stop architecture.” I was amazed at his quasi-visionary perception. Realizing that he must be very artistically aware, I questioned him further on the architecture of Ellicott Wednesday, 17 September 1975 Leonhard M. Hoeglmeier Sneaky Charge To the Editor The Spectrum Sour Grapes? Hell, no But Campus Security made up the damn rule, and I don’t think it’s fair for them to enforce the rule, if only half of it is actually being executed. And I’ll bet I’m not the only one who feels this way!! — But that’s not what really ticks me off. It’s the fact that an extremely large amount of cars are parked in student lots without parking stickers. Parked in lots for students’ cars with stickers!! While looking for spaces in these lots 1 see many disgruntled drivers with stickers also looking for spaces, and looking with anger at the many cars Ellicott complex. With an air of supreme sell importance he answered, “Form follows Function that is the only mystery.” It sure was a mystery to me. He said, “Come on I’ll show you what I mean. We went down the main corridor of Fillmore Quad. No sooner had we stopped in front of that lounge so reminiscent of a brewery by its pronounced odor and sticky seats that two girls came up to us and asked us if by any chance we knew where Fillmore 75 might be? After a few minutes of mutual apologies we all decided it might be easier to wander about, which is what everyone else seemed to be doing. We walked together for several hours seemingly without ever retracing our steps, talking about the function of school. We all agreed that what was most important was going to a minimum of classes, having the most convincing excuses. The natural corollary to this is to stay in a perpetual state of amazement at the colors, forms and shapes around. A long round of applause and wild cheer for Ellicott followed. Ellicott makes it so easy to be a regular lazy student. I really don’t understand how architects can be so in tune.

CA) OUR 6\jOC\cP Jpjf u-W uest Opinion by Elaine Levinstein By midnight, the mood is “euphoric.” The bathrooms are filled with freshman girls retching, some of the “lucky I’d like to start a revolution and am seeking out volunteers to assist me. My purpose: to extinguish beer blasts and the so-called heavy “pot parties” from the campus and other New York universities. (I’m already doubting whether to sign my name to this.) ones” have embarked upon intimate sexual encounters, and others, half dazed and red-eyed, return to their rooms and “fall out,” exhausted from all the “fun” they’ve had. They formulate quickly their opinions about the success of detrimental to students My reason they emotionally, physically and damage one’s self-image. Being a transfer student from SUNY at Brockport has produced some difficult encounters during this past week, but my frustrations reached a peak when I had my first chance to*meet my peers at a beer blast. September 5, on the 9th floor of Clement Hall. I was mortified at first, feeling as if I had never transferred and was still sitting in Brockport with some guy next to me asking the same are .— stimulating question . . . um (gulps beer nervously and fidgets with cigarette) . . . where you from? . . duh . . . um . . wanna go get stoned? . . uh , . . duh . . um . . . (gulps beer again and eventually gets up to get another drink). The music is made louder to prevent talking, an old earth custom used by people in the 1960’s. Duh . . . the party, in preparation for the next day’s storytelling to some unlucky friend or roommate who couldn’t go. I feel this type of partying produces negative effects, enhances peer pressure, increases the necessity for artificial stimulants to communicate effectively with the opposite sex, stifles individuality and creates an atmosphere resistant to a higher level of communication which is perhaps more frightening, but at the same time more fulfilling. Perhaps the most appropriate statement I heard that night came after being casually introduced to someone. “What’s your name?” I asked. He replied jokingly, “I have none.” He was right because in that environment he didn’t have any name. I am not against marijuana smoking or alcohol and dabble occasionally in both. But the state of bliss that arises from five or six beers and a few joints seems to be often replacing something that could possibly result in a an experience that would more beautiful and real time give an individual more security and happiness than the best ounce of pot in the world. My alternative to college partying is smaller groups of individuals, less emphasis on artificial stimulants, more sincere attempts at communication with people, and softer ... music that is conducive to talking, not sitting glassy-eyed with mouth hanging open and nothing coming out. We, as students, and as people are capable of doing better than that. I don’t think everybody is having the great time they claim to be having in what i label the “partying facade.” I’m sure many are tired of the apathetic and bored attitudes people have towards each other, a state of mind that others in our “hip generation” have cleverly labeled being mellow. I say, “Let’s revolt.” Blow the lid off. Just once, in between your fidgeting cigarette, marijuana, beer and the infamous “munchies,” the next time someone asks, “What’s your name?”, tell him, “I have none.” Maybe you’ll start a good conversation and wake up the next day without a hangover and maybe a few less hang-ups. watch out for “Be careful crossing streets he polite to the the school buses teachers on the picket line ..." . . . ... Don’t blame the RAs To the Editor I agree with Herman Chang’s letter of September 10, for 1 too hope something will be done. Not necessarily with single Resident Advisors (R.A.’s) in double rooms, but with people who have the audacity to suggest that this year’s housing problems are a result of some R.A.’s being assigned double rooms. If having some R.A.’s occupying double rooms is the reason for the shortage of dormitory spaces, as Mr. Chang would have us believe, the solution to this problem is quite simple. With the recent cuts in the custodial and maintenance staffs, there are many empty janitor closets available. So we can move the R.A.’s in double rooms in the janitor closets. This will open up many spaces. But let’s not stop here the R.A.’s in single rooms can take over the storage rooms. (They can’t be too much smaller than my room, for I still haven’t figured out how my bed is going to fit in.) And of course let’s not forget the Head Residents. If we can talk them into moving into the boiler rooms or onto the loading docks we should be able to easily fit 10 or 12 people into their apartments. And lastly, let’s not forget the staff members in the Area Desks and the Central Housing Office. If these people can be moved into Building 7 of - Harhlork is on Wilkeson, (has anyone seen Building 7 yet?), these offices can be converted into Barracks, Regiments can be formed and the Senior R.A.’s can hold close order drill on Saturday mornings. With these switches, I’m sure all of the housing problems will be solved. As an R.A. who does not have a double room, who has experienced the pains of occupying a new building such as Wilkeson, and has had to live with the loss of phone compensation, cutbacks in custodial services and innumerable hassles due to the abundant red which characterizes this tape University, 1 resent the insinuation that myself or my fellow staff members are the reason why more people cannot have University housing. If people such as Mr. Chang believe that the residential staffs accommodations are responsible for the lack of available on-campus housing, I suggest they talk to any Housing staff member who knows that bureaucratic bungling, computer errors and the students' failure to return their housing contracts on time are the real reasons why there is a shortage of housing. As for Mr. Chang, may he have a long and prosperous wait on the housing waiting list. Michael Ciarimboli R.A. Wilkeson Bid. 3 Rm. 208 vitiation Wednesday, 17 September 1975 The Spectrum .

Read, among other things, Seven Arrows. - - - by lack Anderson with Joe Spear The recent attempt to assassinate President WASHINGTON Ford has thrown the spotlight on a secret prison society called the “Aryan Brotherhood,” an all-white cult of 200 California prison inmates. Investigators believe that th? “Brotherhood” was used to pass messages from convicted mas murderer Charles Manson to Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, the Manson disciple who pointed a loaded .45 caliber pistol at Ford. Our sourches emphasize that there is no hafd evidence of a Brotherhood-Manson-Fromme conspiracy to kill the President. Nevertheless, an official investigation of Jhe Aryan Brotherhood has been launched. At this point, little is known about the mysterious organization, which seems to espouse a nebulous, neo-Nazi philosophy. California prison authorities describe the group as “dedicated largely to racism but also involved in hoodlum activities, including murder contracts.” The Aryan Brotherhood, officials believe, has been responsible for at least a dozen murders behind California prison walls. Charles Manson’s association with the Brotherhood puzzles penal authorities. They share much the same philosophy. Manson publicly proclaims his love for blacks but privately derides them as “niggers.” He has also expressed admiration for Adolf Hitler who, Manson once said, “had the best answer to everything.” v. For a while, apparently, the group protected Manson from other inmates. In return, he instructed the girls in his “family” to provide sexual favors to Brotherhood members who were released. Now, however, Manson is said to fear the Brotherhood wants to kill him. “As near as we can understand,” a San Quentin official told us, “he’s on the outs with them now. The Aryan Brotherhood could be trying to squeeze Manson out of the picture and take over his family.” According to our sources, members of the Aryan Brotherhood have been visiting “Squeaky” Fromme upon their release from prison. She, in turn, has been trying to use them to contact Manson. These are the pieces of the puzzle authorities have assembled so far. It remains to be seen whether the final picture will depict a conspiracy to kill the President. Aid Fray: Concerned American Jews have cautioned Israeli officials to soft pedal their requests for UJS. aid. Too much pressure, the Jewish advisers fear, could create a backlash. Americans may start questioning, for example, why they should send Israel more than $3 billion but refuse to save New York City from economic collapse. Or they may ask why they should pay for the oil that Israel buys from Iran at the same time that their own gas prices are going up. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger has suggested softly on Capitol Hill, meanwhile, that Congress cannot grant billions in military aid to Israel and turn down the request of Jordan’s King Hussein, a staunch American friend, for a Hawk missile antiaircraft system. Egypt’s President Sadat has also become pro-American. And he has quietly sounded out Kissinger for $250 million in economic aid and favorable terms for the purchase of up to $1 billion in arms. Sadat is eager, for example, to refit his Soviet-made air force for American-made parts. It looks as if the next Arab-Israeli showdown may occur on Capitol Hill. Economic Sabotage: The economic recovery of the industrial West could be sabotaged by another disastrous oil price increase. We have checked the secret intelligence reports, therefore, to find out whether an increase is likely. We have also spoken to several leading Arab oilmen. All the oil producing countries, except Saudi Arabia, are pressing for a price hike. The Saudis alone are trying to delay the increase, at least until the end of the year. Seven of the oil countries, led by Algeria and Kuwait, want a drastic increase of $2 per barrel on October 1. They contend that a $2 adjustment is necessary to keep up with inflation. The Shah of Iran, meanwhile, has already called for a hefty price boost. Some of the oil countries would accept a more moderate, $l-per-barrel increase. But there is no chance, according to our sources, that the disagreement will break up in the oil cartel. Their united stand has brought them fabulous profits. So they are expected to reach a compromise. Most likely, they will raise prices at least $ 1 per barrel on October I. This will mean higher gas prices and a slower economic recovery. Puddle Factory; Several years ago, we coined the phrase “Puddle Factory” as a synonym for the federal bureaucracy. As time passes, the term grows more appropriate. To wit: On May 6, 1975, President Ford called on “all federal civilian and military personnel” to economize. At the Agriculture Department, Secretary Earl Butz passed on the Presidential plea with a cover memo of his own. All his employes, he said, were expected “to reduce Government costs.” Six days later, the Department’s Farmer Cooperative Service distributed another memo. “The balloting is over, the votes have been counted,” it stated, “and all necessary clearances have been obtained we will install Muzak and give it a try.” Several weeks ago, the Department of Transportation gave the state of California half a million dollars to study motorcycle safety. Four days later, another Transportation office started proceedings to block all federal funds to California. The reason: the state has no law requiring motorcycle riders to wear helmets. - Committees will be established — — —■ - CF 409 (Reg.

During the week off, Bulls’ coach Pat McClain revamped the team’s lineup, based on the results of intra-squad matches. There were several surprises, but the biggest and most important was Bill Cole. A transfer from Fredonia, Cole was awarded the third singles spot based on his play during the past week, despite the fact that Cole felt he played below par. Against Oneonta, Cole had the easiest win of any of the Bulls, 6-3, 6-1. Iron man “I wasn’t nervous at all,” Cole said about his debut for Buffalo. “I was really psyched. It was just one of those things where everything came together for the match. The amazing thing was I didn’t even have to come to the net.” “The difference in the match was Bill playing third singles,” said McClain. He indicated that Cole might still improve, now that he’s facing better competition. The other big change for the Bulls came when the top two players, Randy Murphy and Rich- Abbott, switched positions in the lineup. Murphy, playing first singles for the first time, indicated that he was nervous. “1 had heard a lot of talk about the guy I was playing,” he said. “But once I got out there I settled down.” Nevertheless, Murphy had trouble with his net play, which probably cost him the match to Oneonta’s Paul VanderSommen. Meanwhile, Abbott, playing second singles, won the first set against Scott Leyton but then found himself on the short end of a 4-1 score in the second set. But he came back to win the next five games and the match. “I started hitting the ball a lot harder, and 1 forgot about the wind,” he said. Buffalo’s Lenny Gross at fifth singles, pulled off a similar comeback in the third set of his match with Mitch Cohen. Down 3-1 and 40-love, Gross won the game and the next four, and at the end of singles j THE FIRST MEETING OF THE STUDENT AFFAIRS TASK FORCE will be Thursday, Sept. 18 at 3:00 pm (Tomorrow) This is the easiest way to get elected to the Student Senate.

TODAY, WED. Sept. 17 139 Brooklane Dr. additional information. Wesley Foundation by John H. Reiss Staff Writer Opening the fall season on a cool and blustery day, the baseball Bulls split a doubleheader with Oneonta at Peelle Field, Saturday. Buffalo took the first game of the twin bill 7-2 before being shut out in the night cap, 3-0. Following the impressive opener, the Bulls were clearly out-classed by Oneonta pitcher Jim Hunter. Hunter displayed an excellent curveball along with a consistent fastball. Mixing up his pitches well. Hunter kept the Bulls hitters offstride and guessing. Buffalo managed only three hits off the sly righthander and was unable to get a man past second base. Wild Bull Jim Niewcyck, Buffalo’s starter and loser, was equally difficult to hit when he was able to get his pitches over the plate. In four innings of work, Niewcyck struck out eight while the Oneonta hitters were unable to hit his fastball. However, in the second inning, Niewcyck ran into big control problems. He walked five men, allowing Oneonta to score two runs, enough to win the game without the benefit of a hit. The Bulls were more successful at getting hits and scoring runs in the first game. Second baseman Larry Whelau drove Buffalo’s first two runs with a two out, bases loaded single in the second. Designated hitter John Buszka also drove in two runs with a home run into the parking lot beyond rightfield. Ruszka added two more hits to complete his perfect day at the plate. Pitcher Bill Casbolt was very impressive on the mound for Buffalo, allowing only two hits in five innings while getting credit for the win. Buszka finished up for Casbolt, pitching two shutout Problems?

McClain later observed that the top six singles players were pretty much set, although their order might still change. The main change would be in the remaining doubles teams, as the Bulls looked ahead to today’s match at Niagara, which will be Buffalo’s first Big Four conference match. o z > Buszka has created a problem for coach Bill Monkarsh although it’s the kind of problem coaches enjoy having. Buszka has always been one of the stars of the Bulls’ pitching staff, but as of late, has blossomed into a dangerous hitter. Due to the injury to outfielder Marc Scarcello, Buszka could become Buffalo’s regular rightfielder. However, he is needed as a starting pitcher and there is a question as to whether or not he will be able to perform both duties simultaneously. It is feared that a batting slump could affect his pitching adversely, so for the present, his pitching abilities will be stressed. Wednesday, 17 September 1975 . The Spectrum .

Today> even so-called "non-technical" courses (psych, soc, bus ad, to name 3) require a vaiir ety of technical calculations—complicated calculations that become a whole lot easier when you have a powerful pocket calculator. Not surprisingly, there are quite a few such calculators around, but ours stand apart, and ahead. We started it all when we introduced the world’s first scientific pocket calculator back in 1972, and we’ve shown the way ever since: The calculators you see here are our newest, the first of our second generation. Both offeryou technology you probably won’t find in compete itive calculators for some time to come, if ever. Our HP-21 performs all arithmetic, log and trig calculations, including rectangular/polar conversions and common antilog evaluations. i display is fully formatted, so you can choose between fixed decimal and scientific notation. Our HP-25 does all that—and much, much more. It's programmable, which means it can solve automatically the countless repetitive problems every science and engineering student \ faces. With an HP-25, you enter the keystrokes neces’sary to solve the problem only once. Thereafter, you just enter the variables and press the Run/Stop key for an almost instant answer accurate to MO digits. Before you invest in a lesser machine, by all means-do two things: ask your instructors about the calculations their courses require; and see for yourself how effortlessly our calculators handle them. Both the HP-21 and HP-25 are almost certainly on display at your bookstore. If not, call us, toll-free, at 800-538-7932 (in Calif. 800-6<>2-9862) for the name of an HP dealer near you.

Breslin acknowledged the introductory applause in his typical throw-away manner. “I’m really pleased with the size of this crowd and the reception you’ve given me. It must be because of-one of two things,” he said. “Either I’m more popular than I thought, or there’s nothing to do in Buffalo. I think it must be that there’s nothing else to do.” . NYC and guns From there he gave a brief background of his life, but the two most prominent subjects on his mind were New York City and the issue of gun control. He related the lack of gun control measures to the assassinations of recent years and the many senseless killings which -i. v occur everyday- 1* In his opening remarks, Breslin described a talk he had with a Boston Globe reporter just before leaving Boston for his appearance here. The reporter, who had just returned from New Hampshire where he was covering Pr««ident Ford’s current campaign swing through that state, observed that Ford wore a bullet-proof vest at all of his appearances. And yet, as Breslin pointed out, Ford is against gun control legislation. -- v > This has effectively killed any hope of N.Y.C. becoming the 51st state, he said. He felt there was a time when Mayor Abe Beame could have taken some action to force federal response to the city’s financial problems, but that he let the opportunity pass by. “Early last spring,” Breslin said, “when you could see the financial collapse coming, I went to Abe [Beame] and said, ‘Abe, don’t send the tax receipts down to Washington, force the issue.’ I was trying to get him to organize a tax revolt,” he added. ' “But Abe said no to the idea,” Breslin continued. “He wanted to try and work it out through the budget, balance the books and so forth. So he ran around with the book', talking to bankers, trying to get the whole thing together. And eventually he got his head handed to him. And now Abe’s finished politically. He missed his chance,” he added. Moral As a result of the new tie with the state government, Breslin felt N.Y.C. would be “financially moral, but socially immoral.” He recalled his unsuccessful campaign for President of the City Council along with Norman Mailer, for N.Y.C. Mayor, which he characterized as an “exercise of errors.” some of the questions he He recalled Haile and ere asked various at Right to arms Later, during the question and answer session, Breslin was asked about the feasibility of striking from the U.S. Constitution' the amendment that guarantees the right of all citizens to bear arms. Breslin came down hard on this question. In the first place, he said he strongly rejects the idea of any attempted change in the Constitution because it might set a precedent for changing other rights, such as freed om of speech. Secondly, Breslin said he has no complaint about a man keeping a shotgun “under his bed or in his house if it makes him feel safer.” “I’m not afraid of sitting in a bar somewhere and seeing a guy walk in with a shotgun under his coat. 1 mean, that just isn’t going to happen very often,” he admitted. Hand guns criticized “But hand guns are another thing. Anybody could be carrying one and you’d have no way of knowing it,” he said. “There is absolutely no reason for any citizen of the U.S. to own a hand gun, except police officers,” he insisted. That statement drew the greatest applause of the evening, and was perhaps Breslin’s most serious point. No jokes, no funny anecdotes, but a firm belief Breslin apparently feels is one of the most crucial current issues. As for New York City, Breslin feels the “Big Apple” has “sold its soul” to the state government with the passage of the recent $2.3 billion aid package. With all the controls that are tied in to the package, he said, the Governor has become the true mayor of N.Y.C. appearances, and the type of answers they would give. One of their main concerns was to put the “real English language into a political campaign.” ‘Urban Man' The two men made an appearance at Brooklyn College where Mailer delivered what Breslin called “a speech about The ‘Urban Man’,” and attempted to develop some deep social issues. However, all of a sudden Breslin said, “some kid from Queens stood up in the back of the room and said, ‘Mr. Mailer, last year snowstorm out in Queens we had a and Mayor didn’t remove the snow. My father Couldn’t even get his car out of the driveway. What would you do about Lindsay that?’ ” ‘Piss on it’ Mailer considered the question for a minute and then responded, “Sir, I’d piss on it.” campaign another appearance, At Breslin recounted, “some kid who was all who hair I mean just really long hair - - stood up and complained that ‘every time I walk down the street the police hit me. They beat me up. For no reason they just hit me. Why?’ Breslin indicated that Mailer turned to him and said, “I’m Irish, I’m Catholic, I’d hit him too.” “These sort of answers didn’t sit well with many people,” Breslin continued, “and as a result, we ran into a great deal of friction at some appearances. In fact, at one place the people showed up in the front row with attack dogs and the general feeling we got from that audience was that ‘if these communist bastards say fuck once, we’ll turn the dogs on them’.” ” Image miseries “Personal deportment and the image we projected was definitely our greatest problem in the campaign because it really obscured what we were trying to say," he analyzed. ■Some of the questions students asked were ones concerned with the assassinations of Martin Luther following his speech King, John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy, and the re-opening of investigations into those killings. Breslin said he thought the King assassination was “definitely a conspiracy,” and that there were still many unanswered questions concerning the killing. As for the death of Robert Kennedy, Breslin, who was in the room when he was shot, was “convinced it was just the action of one sick man with a gun. That case is closed.” ‘Rocky; No way’ Asked if he thought Vice President Nfelson Rockefeller would be the next President, Breslin responded with a firm, “no way.” The student questioner said he was sure Rocky would become President, so following a brief debate, Breslin finally to wager against Rocky’s proposed chances. Breslin remained to answer more questions and sign autographs for about 15 minutes after the program officially ended. He seemed willing to stay all night, provided the chairs were comfortable, drinks were available, and interesting questions were to be discussed. �Jack Kemp Graduate exams are questioned for validity -Repeal ofpap raise urged by Pat Quinlivan by Jacqui Schock Spectrum City Editor Staff Writer Many people have questioned the validity of using standardized tests as a criterion for admittance into graduate schools. The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) and the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) do not accomplish what they were intended to do, according to an article by John L. Nagi, Chairman of the Electrical Technology and Electrical Construction and Maintenance curricula at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, N.Y. “For years,” notes Nagi, a 1974 recipient of a doctorate in Educational Administration, “the MAT and GRE have been used as one of the factors which determine whether or not a student should be admitted to many graduate programs. The decision for acceptance or nonacceptance is sometimes predicated on the student's success on those Congressman- Jack Kemp (R., N.Y.) has a bill which would repeat the congressional pay raise that was passed by the House July 29. said that after meeting with his Kemp constituents over the month-long summer recess, he introduced Other means He stressed that many other factors enter into whether or not the student will succeed in graduate studies. “These examinations just are not valid predictors. Thus, we must attempt to find other means of evaluating an applicant’s records and use those new means as part of the basis for granting admission to graduate programs,” he concluded. Nagi’s article, published in the journal Educational and Psychological Measurement during the summer, was entitled “Predictive Validity of the Graduate Record Examination and the Miller Analogies Test.” The article was the result of a study conducted on 63 graduate students at the State University at Albany. responsibility and discipline.” Invalid predictors The study was intended to determine whether the scores on the GRE’s and the MAT’S could accurately predict whether students in a doctoral program in Educational Administration would complete the required work. Of the 63 students observed, 33 received their PhD’s but 30 did not finish the program. Nagi’s results bear out earlier studies, which indicated that GRE’s and MAT’S are not substantial predictors of program completion. Jerome Fink, pre-Law Advisor at the State University at Buffalo, said he has mixed feelings about the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). “There are some people even with high grade point averages Jack Kemp who just don’t do well on these types of standardized exams. At best of Western New the York people they are a guide for law schools since they deal with such a large “found number of applicants. The test does not measure motivation, drive or overwhelmingly opposed to the increase. The pay raise, which only applies to members of self discipline.” Milli Clark, assistant professor of English, stated that the GRE’s Congress, and not to any other federal employees, “can reflect a student who is widely read in English literature, but it is passed the,House by a single vote, 214 to 213. It has for an undergraduate to have that wide a coverage of the been noted that only eight members failed to vote subject. Since the test is slanted in a certain area of English Literature each time, it is pure coincidence if the strength of the student corresponds to the test’s bias.” She said, “the Educational Testing Service is a money-making, self-perpetuating organization. They have become another educational entity; they are an important being out there which makes judgements and we, unfortunately have their propaganda to face."

Kemp’s proposal would nullify pay increases, but not those for the elected officials that were voted for other federal employees. In a news release, Kemp said, “The public has a right to be skeptical of legislators who say federal spending must be cut but who do not adhere to budget protection standards when their personal paychecks are involved.” “Legislators,” he pointed out, “are the only group in American society able to so easily determine how much they can increase their annual income.

According to the Buffalo Committee for, Chilean Democracy, sponsor of the protest, the Mentholatum Company “substantially increased its investment” in Chile after the right-wing military take-over disposed the democratically-elected Popular Unity government, headed by Salvadore Allendc, indicating tacit support for the new government. Since taking power two years ago. General Pinochet and his military junta, have imposed bloody and repressive dictatorship in Chile, where the Chilean Congress, trade unions and student organizations were outlawed, and tens of thousands were arrested, tortured or murdered, the Buffalo Committee charged. The Committee explained that these severe violations of human rights moved many nations in Europe, Asia and the America’s, including the United States Congress, to condemn the acts and to withdraw aid to the Pinochet regime. 'Good business Though the Chilean economy is in very serious condition, with inflation at 600 through democratic People or profits? While admitting that perhaps violations of human rights had taken place in Chile, and that the CIA may have been involved in .the coup, Hyde explained that “all the people that I've talked to in Chile” think that the military would have taken over anyway.

George President of Hyde, Mentholatum, said in a telephone interview with The Spectrum that Mentholatum had interests in Chile “for 70 years," and that the increased investment was just “good business.” Hyde said his company employed only “15 people" in Chile, and , claimed that this facilitiy wasn’t making that much money now. When asked if he was aware of the charges that human rights and democratic freedoms were being violated by the present government, Hyde remarked that the “communists” were making an issue of this because they lost out. “Chile was run by the communists,” he said, and the overturning of the Allende government was a “great blow to the communist’s pride” since it was the “first time communists The Committee explained that after the coup, f’.e junta returned many of the nationalized factories to their foreign owers, (though Mentholatum was not nationalized under Allende, according to Hyde). Since the trade unions were outlawed, many companies made additional investments as they saw a chance to increase their profits. “While the Mentholatum Company maintains its profitable relation in Chile, the military dictatorship continues to terrorize the population,” the Committee believes. Reading and writing skills of college students on decline by Brett Kline Feature Editor Reading comprehension levels and writing skills of college students today have declined over the past two years, according to recent figures published in reports and across the newspapers country. In the words of many incoming educators, college freshmen and those college already enrolled in college are not as well prepared to deal with an academic learning situation as were their predecessors. While admittedly a very general statement, it can nevertheless be supported by a veritable barrage of facts and figures. To begin with, the College Entrance (CEEB) Board Examination reported that the average test scores of 1975 high school graduates on Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT’s) took the biggest drop since 1 964. Test scores drop In 1975, the average scores for the verbal test dropped ten points and those for the math test were down eight points. The tests are scored on a 200 to 800 point basis. In 1964, the average scores were 478 for verbal ability and 502 for mathematical ability. The latest averages were 434 in the verbal and 472 in the math. The CEEB noted that scores in Achievement Tests, separate gerterally taken by students with particular interest or skill in individual fields, have also dropped. There are various explanations for this drop in test scores. Sam director of the McCandless, testing Cl I B’s admissions that the program. suggests “academic abilities" of high school students in general have apparently declined. Bernard McK en n a of the National Education Association, the nation’s largest teacher however, organization, argues, that the tests are not relevant to what is being taught in school and that students are increasingly aware of this As a result, it is likely that standardized tests are no longer being taken as seriously by students as they were ten years ago. Teachers and administrators have become increasingly critical of the tests, especially since they Our down filled jackets and parkas will keep your body snug winter, and their low through prices the will warm your heart Get the real McCoy, Pea Coats!

Behavior modification is based on the theory Divide and conquer that humans can be “programmed" to behave in a The new concept of behavior modification is to certain way through system of rewards and punishments. This process goes on every day and is rarely conscious, Deutsch explained. Although not intrinsically bad, he believes the potential for abusing this science is enormous and its use is to spread into schools and other beginning institutions, as well as prisons. Prisons and police are the agents of oppression in the poor and Third World communities, Deutsch explained. These communities are in a sense “colonies” of the rest of society. Their cultures and economies depend upon outside capital to survive and the police are the “occupying army” of the outside society, he said. The poor and minorities in the ghettos rebel against a system in which they see sctmuch wealth yet are unable to attain it by legal means. Crime is the natural outlet for these feelings of frustration, he explained, and the threat of prison is an attempt to deter crime. a locus on a system of rewards rather than punishments. Deulch explained. Those inmates who “behave themselves" are rewarded by tokens which can buy privileges. This practice places great strain confinement. Solitary confinement, or “the box,” is the practice of keeping inmates in their cells 24 hours a day with no stimulation at all Sometimes the walls are even painted white and they are soundproof. This method is used to isolate and break down those inmates who do not accept the authorities of the institution, Deutsch said. Pointing to an experiment that was tried in Springville, Missouri in 1472, he said inmates were transferred involuntarily to a prison where a punishment system of four tiers was set up, each progressively better than the next. Conditions were unbearable at the first stage and the inmates resisted any attempt to make the program work. A court order soon closed the project down. Another pioneer project is currently being conducted in Marion, Illinois. The men are kept A number of students who engaged the services of Campus Transport, Inc., fo move their belonging from Long Island to Buffalo, have charged that the company did not deliver some of their luggage. Campus Transport, Inc. is a privately operated moving company that transports student luggage between the two regions for a reasonable fee. Trunks, duffel bags and boxes were reportedly delivered to incorrect addresses, delivered late or lost completely. Students also complained of damages to stereos and other valuables. "In the past. State University at Buffalo students have been inconvenienced by the undependable and irresponsible service provided Transport.” Campus according to David Brownstem, Inter-Residence Council (IRC) President. He added that there were also similar problems last year when the firm was under different by management. Last spring IRC refused to grant Campus Transport the endorsement they requested allegedly because of the company’s poor pci Iormanee record. "Campus Transport then sought the endorsement ot SASU (the Student Association of State University) who granted it out ot ignorance, Brownstein contended "Now the University must suffer the consequences." asked C ampus Transport to arrange deliveries on or before September 3 to insure “etlicient service." It also requested that the • irm station a lull-time representative on campus throughout that period In spite ot these requests, however.

But IRC claims the refund process is slow. " Recovering luggage Methods Behavior modification techniques were used in Korea and, in l c>63. at a national meeting of prison administrators, the idea was introduced, Deutsch continued. James Bennet of the Federal Bureau of Prisons started using various techniques on Moslem inmates who caused disciplinary problems. Many types of programs were started, most concentrating on punishment to prevent unwanted behavior. The use of psychosurgery and chemicals such as prolyxin and thorzyne, both heavy depressants, was not uncommon, he said. In the late I960’s these practices were exposed and their use was prohibited. Although librium and thorium are still used, the most common method of punishment is now solitary « Most ol the responsibility for recovery of losses rests with Michele Smith, Student Association (SA) President. She is currently trying to locate missing items and organize some kind of student insurance. "All we can do now is try to uncover and track down each case, one be one," Smith explained SASl Vice President Slu Haynwoods is investigating the situatio anti has discovered that a tew trunks were wrongly delivered to othe Stale University campuses.

"In the past we have serviced several other branches of the SUNY system, and all of these deliveries have run smoothly, Landau emphasized. Additionally, he would have preferred to handly the luggage only after the student's arrival. Landau said that “in the future, we will not make any deliveries unless we can secure a signature first, and neither will we agree to deliver luggage before the student’s scheduled arrival time.” < on the inmates, as any privilege in prison is highly prized. It also tends 'to divide the prisoners and perpetuates the ability of the administration to keep the lid on a tense situation, he said. topic Another discussed experimentation done on inmates by was various the drug manufacturers. Cosmetic and drug firms pay the prisoners a dollar a day to test their products. Federal law states that in order for this type of experimentation to occur, there must be informed consent on the part of the subject. They have yet to declare such testing to he illegal, according to Deutsch. the in discussion afterwards, Deutsch emphasized that most of the behavior modification experiments originate at universities and that concerned students should investigate what programs their schools are developing. One participant suggested that students correspond with inmates in order to break down the isolation that is an essential component of the modification Page four . The Spectrum .

The Spectrum . Page five �WHO LOST EditPrwl College illiteracy As the modern world becomes more complicated, it is of the utmost importance that we retain our ability to communicate with one another. Being able to make other people understand just what it is you want to say is an integral part of existence, yet many of our contemporaries can neither string together a coherent assemblage of sentences on paper nor organize their thoughts verbally into some intelligible form. It has been proven in numerous instances that students entering college today do not have the fundamental reading and writing skills necessary for even simple communication. Not only have the average scores on standardized exams V continued to drop steadily, but educators, themselves, admit that students read carelessly, their writing just barely surpasses elementary school levels, and their vocabulary is extremely limited. In addition, many students have problems with simple punctuation and grammar, making it a real chore for them to write the more sophisticated papers and compositions expected at the college level. •' *w<7r r; saip jack: '1 JUST S0JT APVISORS J/SAIP \Kt *r dost, saur miev. * that we must not lose our power to communicate. And it is the responsibility of concerned institutions of learning to ensure that mass "illiteracy" in this country does not become an epidemic of the 20th century. THf �WHAT QOeSTlOO?' iemi5‘ First off, a complaint. Sometime ago I bought a transverter. That’s right, a transverter. Stow your dirty mind, please. This is a gadget you plug into the cigarette lighter socket in the dashboard of your car, whereupon it proceeds to reduce the 12 volt current down to 9 volts, and this can be used to run my tape recorder. I bought the original one at Purchase Radio, on Niagara Falls Boulevard across from the Boulevard Mall. So it seemed reasonable to go .back to the same place, since some of the pieces of the misfunctioning gizmo might someday be useful in repairing the new one, or vice versa. The price tag pasted on the silly thing was $8.95, which seemed a trifle high, but what the hell a person can’t survive on FM alone. — However, being a curious soul, it was necessary for me to poke around and I I a bit. Which explore frequently results in my feeling bad in one way or fllft ■ another, and this was such (i/lLl an experience.

The second, the first stuck on price, was no doubt to conjure in a charming shade of red up visions of deficits — and was $6.50. As noted at least temporarily previously, the last price was the $8.95 paid It seems reasonably clear why they switched the price from red, to black for the price I paid. With increases like that, it should not be hard to turn a profit. 1 am at least a semi-reasonable man. If the CIA had good reason for holding onto biological warfare goodies in direct violation of a presidential order, I’ll listen. What it would take to convince me that the reason was good is a non-operable question. (Wasn’t there a line in one of those old classics about people living by the Digression sword something?). or notwithstanding, I am clear headed, just like you. We all know times are hard, and prices have to creep up. In round figures 1 can handle a $6 to $6.50 increase. This seems moderately equitable. An increase of 1/12, or about 8.5 percent 1 can handle. But $6.50 to $9.00? Hold it just a minute, folks I left my calculator somewhere. Let’s see, 2.50/6.50 5/13 38.5 percent, approximately.

Inquiring at the Student Association office I was told that there was something that they “forgot” to include in their king sized ad which in a nutshell seemed to be a gracious offer not to collect the mandatory student fee. The part that they “forgot” is a sentence or two telling who is eligible, to receive the benefits advertised therein. Based on my conversation with an employee of SA and upon the information in the waiver application, I will give an elaboration on the vagaries of this SA notice. Here it is. This announcement s for you. All you Listen financially poor students. You might not have to pay a penny of the $67.00 mandatory fee if you'only go to the 6A office (205 Norton Hall), take five - and paid for. No garbage about increased replacements, etc. can be entertained. To put it into terms that occur to me in a primary sort of way, this is the sort of thing that makes me worry less about what big government is doing to business, and worry much more about what business will do to me given the chance. Stuck again Steese. Right in the middle. The not turn record of business, even recent news of the century horror stories, make it hard to hear the pious claims of moral dependability very clearly. - The need for unions, and the battles the entrenched unions fought, were great and needful.

There are times in such company when 1 feel like King Kong at a DAR tea party. 1 have this classic middle child syndrome. I try to compromise and take other people into account. Perhaps, in truth, •I do it too much, and wind up sometimes getting angry at myself or other people when it could have been avoided. But it is very hard for me to see things getting better when the opposite belief is taken too far. Which leads me to an ultimate stuck in the middle point, how in hell do we balance the needs of the individuals, in all their wonderful diffusion and differences? How do we give everybody a fair share of the goodies when some people have so much more than others? Tom Snyder of the early morning show Tomorrow? the one coming on after whoever replaced Steve Allen ah nostalgia! Anyhoo Tom Snyder showed this wonder public service announcement that no-one else shows because it is a touch controversial. It consists of a man on a bicycle, dressed in a business suit, wearing a pair of air tanks on his back, and a mask connected to these tanks over his face. He rides into a large station marked AIRCO, the attendant asks him what’ll it be, the man says regular, gets filled up, and rides away. A voice over narration goes something to the effect that it would be very strange if a group of large corporations tried to control the world’s air supply, wouldn’t it? 1 love it.

While it is hard to pinpoint the exact reasons why today's college students are not as well equipped to handle academic requirements which should, by this time, be almost second nature, much of the blame centers on the emphasis of educational institutions from grade school on up through high school. In their attempts to prepare the younger generation for an advanced, technological society, teachers are not stressing the tedious but necessary fundamentals; they have lost sight of the fact'that basic lessons in syntax and sentence structure combined with writing exercises or to translate the public speaking courses, train people mumbo-jumbo in their minds into meaningful sentences. Students who are still weak in these skills by the time they reach college should be encouraged to take advantage of lower level writing and composition courses. Partial blame also lies with the mass media and our complicated communications networks. Many people no longer read newspapers; they switch on their television sets or radios and listen to a thirty-minute capsulized version of the day's news. Many people don't write letters any more; they just pick up the receiver and dial •U0T I,'SAP mJRX). 1 oust * minutes to write some information, and give that to the secretary. $67.00 is a large amount of money and you should surely take the opportunity to keep it for your own use. Best of all none of your benefits normally obtained by the payment of the fee will be taken away. Be sure to act quickly. There is a September 30 deadline. I assume SA is fulfilling some sort of commitment by taking such a large amount of space for their announcement but they are surely shirking a moral commitment, written or implied, to adequately inform the underprivileged students of this University that they have a chance to save themselves some money. The poor students, the black students, the foreigners they are the ones least likely to be aware of opportunities to do so. SA knows this this thus a vague ad. The minorities of this courtry are poor because their pafents were poor; and their parents before them. The reason they were poor is that no one ever taught them how to manage their financial affairs properly. The poor were and are continually and callously taken advantage of. SA is not the first nor will they be the last to do so but they can only be categorized as bastards for their current attempt. - — Doughs A. Radi Page six . The Spectrum . Monday, 15 September 1975 �In all fairness To the Editor. The first two issues of this fall's The Spectrum contained articles by syndicated columnists Garry Wills and Jack Anderson. Both of these columnists can be accurately described as "liberals,” or adherents to one particular side of the American public debate.. The Spectrum, however, is a freely distributed publication meant devoted to a particular ideology or interpretation of events. Hence it would seem to be more appropriate for The Spectrum to carry articles by columnists of both of the prevalent political ideologies in our society, liberalism and conservatism. This would satisfy the most elemental demands of fairness and objectivity, and surely the individuals who comprise the campus community are mature enough to deserve being presented with both sides of the public debate so* that they can read them and decide for themselves which is correct. Richard Hoffman Quarry lot insanity; To the h.'dilor I have attended this University for the past Iwo years. In that time, a serious situation in regard to parking here has grown progressively worse. I am referring to the absolute insanity in the Quarry Lot. Due to the fact that there are no lines painted on the surface, and also to the irregular shape of the lot. people park where they feel like leaving their cars. This is fine if common sense is used in parking. However, this is rarely the case. Cars are left sitting a foot or two behind others, making it impossible to leave until the dummy arrives to move his ear. Cars are left in spots where they completely block traffic lanes, making it quite an adventure moving through the lot. Last, but not least, are the many dents which I (and I'm sure many others) have incurred because ol the careless drivers at this University. Perhaps a viable solution would be the presence of a Campus Security person to supervise parking in the morning. It seems that this would serve a greater purpose than the staking-out of the llarnman Basement lavatories. Thanks for the opportunity to express what I feel is a legitimate commuter gripe. Mark Thompson TRB it can hit Congress with half a million letters in a 72-hour notice? Birch Bayh, Democratic Senator from Indiana, at a gun control hearing where they had a display of handguns, toyed negligently with a lethal little nichel-plated snub-nosed ladies just right revolver with a barrel one inch long for a beaded handbag. It is called a bellygun in the trade. Why couldn't things be banned, he wondered? But sportsmen of the NRA have an almost fanatical feeling that registration let along outlawing of such killers would somehow compromise the farmers' favorite fall outdoor sport, hunting. The NRA publishes a monthly, the American Rifleman who gun advertising grosses $1,800,000 a year of the organization’s $10 million budget. Lee Harvey Oswald saw an item he liked listed in the February 1963 issue of the Rifleman sent a $21.45 money order under a fictitious name to the advertiser and that was all it took under the free enterprise system to change the course of history. In fact the price of killing presidents is ghoulishly low. The .44 derringer with which Booth show Lincoln couldn’t have cost more than $ I 5. estimates Robert Sherrill in his book The Saturday Night Special Guiteau paid $ 10 for the ,44 caliber second-hand revolver with which he killed Garfield (with a box of cartridges and a small penknife thrown in); Czolgosz paid $4.50 for the handgun that killed McKinley, ahd 1 have cited Oswald's expense above though he had to pay SI.50 for postage plus the cost of his post office box, “A. Hidell, P.O. Box 2915. Dallas. Texas." As for Squeaky Fromme. she apparently borrowed or stole her gun from a friend, so the cost wasn’t anything. The political rule is that if you won't take the risk of being murdered you shouldn’t run. It’s like the ethic 200 years ago about dueling. A gentleman could always be called out. We think that pretty silly today but we still expect a candidate, oi President, to expose himself in spite of ihc 40 million handguns and 135 million firearms sloshing about in the country, and to retrain from talking from a television booth, where he could spreak more conveniently and have a bigger audience. Gov. George Wallace opposed gun control; he is paralyzed from the waist down. Mr. Ford "unalterable” opposes registration (though he favors tighter controls of gunstores); he fell the breath of death on his face. I think that crime, fueled in part by handguns, is one of the most rapidly growing and explosive political issues in the country. It is readymade for a demagogue. Think of how Nixon used it to attack the Supreme Court and for “lawnorder.” Anyone who doesn't worry at growing crime is as- dangerous as Squeaky Frommc. There are signs of demoralization; crime was up 17 per cent last year, the most rapid rise in 44 years of. recording. In 15 years murders rose I0o percent, robberies by 255 percent. The courts are in a mess: 90 percent of all serious crimes are plea-bargained (criminals can plead a- lesser offense to save time). No nation will stand anarchy. Before that comes — from Washington Squeaky From me got a double whammy with her picture on the cover of both Time and Newsweek last week but three days after she tried to shoot Mr. Ford she was only on page 12 of The New York Times. A tug of the finger on a trigger of a properly loaded gun would have changed history, but addle-pated Squeaky apparently didn't know you have to pull the slide, back On an army .45 automatic to get a cartridge into the gun barrel. So the hardy President was out roaming the country again making dull speeches to selected audiences, the public was yawning again about gun control, and the nation that more than any other demands that its politicians glad-hand crowds in the flesh remains the nation that does the least to prevent them from being turned into martyrs. The President Commission on Law Enforcement under former Attorney General Kat/.ehbach made its report in I%7; it control. The National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorder under former Illinois Gov. Otto Kerner reported in l l)68. It recommended gun control. The National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence under Dr. Milton Eisenhower reported in l l)6‘). It recommended gun control. The National Advisory Commission on Reform of federal Criminal Laws undei former California Gov Edmund Brown reported in I‘■>70 It recommended gun control. The Commission on Criminal Justice Standaids and Goals, undei former Delaware Gov. Russell Peterson, reported in 1074. It lecommended gun control. And so what'.’ Handguns are as easy to buy as flashlights. The Gallup poll says that two out of three Americans favor firearms registration and that ihey have favored control for more than three decades; but theie are, two and a halt million more guns manufactured each year, added to the sea ol 40 million American-owned handguns: it’s the largest unlicensed civil arsenal ol lethal weapons m the history of mankind. People who I ear ;nul dislike handguns arc buding them now because ■ they fear others who arc buying them. \iul the National Killc Association aiul the American Congress arc laughing at us.

"Perhaps we should look into this." says the National Rifle Association and Congress thoughtfully.

What to do',’ One thing to do is to read the five moldermg presidential crime reports of the last seven years. There's no easy answer, they say. But the Catzenbach. Kerner and Eisenhower reports are unanimous in linking rising statistics to social conditions, in calling prisons ‘graduate schools of crime,’ in urging faster justice, and in demanding gun controls.

These figures also point to the increasing number clinics and of abortion counseling centers. Studies have shown that the number of women who consider increased abortion acceptable substantially within the last ten years. A tremendous acceptance of abortion, for socio-economic reasons also developed. In 1965, only 18 percent of the women interviewed felt abortion should be allowed in cases where women from low income families were expecting babies they could not afford. By 1973, 49 percent favored abortion under the same circumstances. Within the same eight-year span, there was a 33 percent increase in the number of people who approved abortion for unwed mothers-to-be, and a 30 percent increase for married women who don’t want the child. Actual case history What do these figures mean in real-life situations? Last year, a 17-year old feared she was pregnant. The girl in and practiced birth control but methods, unfoitunately wound up in the small percentage who become despite precautions. pregnant After calling for an appointment, she went to an abortion clinic where a doctor performed a menstrual extraction to abort the unborn embryo. The procedure took five minutes. The girl was lucky. She had the money to pay for the operation; she was only 12 days pregnant, and the year was 1974. Ten years earlier, abortion was not publicly condoned for women who simply chose not to have their babies, was educated i uye c* y Buckham urged all women who think they are pregnant to contact a doctor or counseling center such as Planned Parenthood, where pregnancy tests are given at sliding income costs. Such exams are also available at the Erie County Building at no cost, or at the clinic for $4.

Last year he earned fame by scoring three key goals in the Bulls’ surprise victory at the SUNY Centers Championship. Buffalo’s success in 1975 largely depends on his performance. But Coach Sal Esposito isn’t so sure if Kulu will see any action this year. “He doesn’t have his head screwed on straight,” commented Esposito at his team’s practice last Friday. “This is only the second time I’ve seen him this year.” The Bulls have been practicing for two weeks. Esposito complained that Kulu has missed practice without giving any notice many times, and warned that if Kulu does not show a better attitude immediately, then he would not start in Wednesday’s opening game at Buffalo State. Kulu sees things differently. He claims that he wasn’t notified of some of the early practices, that he has attended four sessions, and that “personal financial problems” caused him to miss other practices. He does admit, however, that he simply forgot to notify Esposito that he would be missing any practice. No rift is seen between Kulu and Esposito. The second-year player has no animosity toward the coach, and the coach has made himself clear to the player. “He (Kulu) will get no special consideration," explained Esposito. * New names, tough games If Kulu for some reason does not play for the Bulls, newcomers, including Henry Gartner (wing), Brian Schmozz (goalie), and Dave Wolf (defensive back) are the players Esposito will have to rely on to try to match last year’s 8-3-1 record. The Bulls have a very tough schedule this season which includes three of the ten top rated schools in New York: Hartwick, Brockport and Binghamton. In addition, the Bulls will be trying to defend their SUNY Center championship, and will be vying for the new Big hour conference championship with Buffalo State, Canisius and Niagara. Tryouts announced Two of Buffalo’s winter season varsity athletic teams will be holding meetings tryouts this week. Students interested in joining the swimming team are requested to meet in Room 3 Clark Hall at 3:15 p.m. tomorrow.

Both will be converted to non-commercial, public broadcasting stations under the agreement. These new stations will make Buffalo one of the few American cities with more than one public broadcasting station, according to Marvin Granger, General Manager of WBFO. WBFO, which broadcasts from Norton Hall, is currently the only public broadcasting station in Buffalo. Whether or not WBFO will suffer financially from the new competition has not yet been determined, but Granger is confident that the three stations will be able to work together, especially if they can diversify their format. In Washington, D.C., for instance, there are three public radio stations and each appeals to a different audience. The three Washington stations also cooperate in fund-raising activities. Presently, WBFO receives funding from both the State University of New York and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Granger said. Granger also said WBFO has been in contact with Mike Collins, president of WNED-TV, and that “all indications are that [the same type of corporation that exists in Washington] is highly possiblfe’here.” of the CUNY City College Newspaper, Campus, charged that tuition at the proposed level would effectively destroy the open admissions policy. “Even No further information regarding the terms of the radio stations sale is available, pending approval of the transaction by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Reliable sources speculate, however, that the new FM station will present a classical music format, and the AM will broadcast public information, news geared toward and programming, generally minority/ethnic audiences. The new station will be the first public broadcasting station on the AM band in the Northeast in over 50 years, according to Granger. “The greatest audience loss to WBFO might be our classical listeners,” Granger said. “This will, however, enable us to become more involved in the cultural and intellectual life of the University community.” One major difference between WBFO and the new stations would be that WBFO relies heavily upon volunteer participation in programming and producing the broadcasts, while the new stations will most likely employ professionals. “This is a great step forward for Buffalo and its development as a media center,” said Gerald Educational of the O’Grady, director Communications Center. The more good public broadcasting there is, the better, O’Grady maintains. There are, however, two possible sources of trouble for WBFO when the new stations start broadcasting. For one, WBFO has a relatively weak broadcasting signal, and also, the University-funded station, like many other campus activities, is subject to budget trimming actions by the State. WBFO has made no decisions regarding the matter, and a general “wait-and-see” attitude seems to prevail. More information should become available when WNED submits its application to the FCC, and the two new public stations begin broadcasting. Laura Allende, the sister of the late Chilean President Salvador Allende, will speak in the Fillmore Room Friday, at 8 p.m. Ms. Allende was elected to the Chilean Congress by the people of Santiago for three consecutive terms. She was last elected in March, 1973, and was serving her third term at the time of the military coup of September 1973. After the coup, she remained in Chile rather than seek exile, and aimed her efforts at the last time. She was taken to the prison camp, Alamos a 4 notorious torture center where are numerous political prisoners kept without any contact with the outside world, and held there for five months. During that time she lost 22 pounds, and was confined to a small room with 1 1 other prisoners. For five months she received no visitors and had communication with the outside. She admits that she was treated roughly on the day and night of her arrest, but was not tortured because of her fame, and international pressure. She did witness the torture of numerous no other prisoners. In March 1975, the military deported her to Mexico, in the wake of the persistent international demands for her release. Salvador Allende organizing the resistance to the military dictatorship. The military attempted to keep her under house arrest, but she refused to abide and continued to leave her house. Five arrests As a result, she was arrested and released five times between September, 1973 and November, 1974, when she was arrested for sought military The her son, information about Andres Pascal Allende, who is the head of the MIR, a left-wing party which is active in the Resistance. Her husband, and four relatives of her son’s wife were also arrested. Laura arrived in Mexico on March 21 this year with 95 other Chilean political prisoners. At the airport she said: “We have all come with broken hearts, because there are still thousands of fellow Chileans who are in jail, being tortured . . . This situation has to end as soon as possible, through the action of the Chileans in Chile and the solidarity of the international community.” Laura Allende’s visit to Buffalo is being sponsored by the Buffalo Committee for Chilean Democracy.

Efficient use of energy must be stepped up through existing technology and energy expenditures reduced, the scientist explained. Teller, who has also done research in the peaceful uses of thermonuclear energy and weapons, has been a guest of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics this week, lecturing on various aspects of energy use. Teller maintained that one way to save existing energy supplies would be to produce lighter, more efficient automobiles. “There is no reason for anyone to drive a 5000 pound car,” he said, and suggested that rechargeable battery-powered vehicles could be useful. He also proposed the addition of an auxiliary engine for highway driving, which would use “more efficient stratified-charge carburation” instead of the conventional gasoline-air mixture. Japan and the Soviet Union use only half as much energy per capita as the United States, which only further emphasizes this country’s wastefulness, Teller said. Better insulation For instance, the United can reduce energy States consumption by using better insulation, Teller explained. He quoted a study by the National Bureau of Standards which found that 44 percent of all single-family homes sold in the U.S. last year were “mobile homes,” which are not manufactured with any insulation, although they could be fully insulated for only a five percent increase in their purchase price. A less obvious place to save money is in industrial use of “process steam,” to raise to manufacturing equipment desired- temperatures. Since one U.S. energy sixth of all consumption is used to heat pi I P rocess steam a reduction in this caiuara 'Teller I GUST area a considerable amount of energy, he stressed, explaining that 90 percent of the energy used for process steam is simply used to turn water into steam, and only 10 percent to actually raise the steam’s temperature. > Heat collectors This is one of the few areas where solar energy could be used, since the conversion of water into steam can be accomplished by placing small solar heat collectors on the roof of each industrial plant, he said. These solar heat collectors alone could allow the, U.S. to become self-sufficient in energy production. Teller noted that U.S. electrical production has increased greatly over the past several years, but tfiat the petroleum industry hasn’t expanded domestic facilities to keep pace. Additionally, the import duties on imported oil were established much too late, allowing the U.S. to rely on cheap foreign imports, which backfired with the Arab oil producing nations’ decision to raise ' their prices and institute an oil embargo.. ••••••••••• The Spectrum is published Mon day, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday gTHE NICELODEON 0 0 ANTIQUE THEATRE 1406 Broadway (near Bailey) a Open Fri, Sat. 9 & Sun.

The statement, the first of its kind, appeared on September 1 in a special issue of The Humanist and has been the subject of national attention since its publication. Paul Kurtz, Editor-in-Chief of The Humanist is a Professor of Philosophy at the State University at Buffalo, and publishes the magazine on the Amherst Campus. The astronomers and astrophysicisists, who co-signed the statement, expressed concern with the increased acceptance of astrology in many parts of the world. Their intention is “to caution the public against the unquestioning acceptance of the predictions and advice given privately and publicly by astrologers.” , , Alleged influences The scientists are “especially distrubed by the continued uncritical dissemination of astrological charts, forecasts, and horoscopes by the. media and by otherwise reputable newspapers, magazines, and book publishers.” Now that the distances between the planets and the stars and the earth can be the scientists accurately measured, maintain that alleged “influences” are “infinitesimally small,” and that “it is simply a mistake to imagine that the forces exerted by stars and planets at the moment of birth can in any way shape our future.” G.L. Rehac, a member of the American Federation of Astrologers, in response to the statement, cites the ancient physician Hippocrates, who once said, “A doctor who does not use astrology is more a fool than a physician.” Rehac insists that astrologers are seriously engaged “in the task of separating astrological wheat from mythical chaff,” and that, contrary to the scientists’ claims, “astrologers do not believe in destiny predetermined by astral forces beyond our control.” Alarming increase The Humanist statement was drafted by Bart Bok, former president of the American Astronomical Society and Professor emeritus at the University of Arizona. In an extended article following the statement, Bok attacks what he considers to be “an alarming increase in the spread of astrology during the past two years,” not only in published materials, but through college course offerings as well. The public, Bok says, “has a right to expect from its scientists clarifying statements showing that astrology lacks a firm scientific foundation.” In another article, Lawrence E. Jerome, an engineer and writer who has done extensive research in astrology, charges that the “pseudoscience” of astrology has survived “only by attempting to attach itself to every appropriate new physical science that has come along.” Kurtz said copies of the statement are being sent to thousands of newspapers and magazines throughout the world. “Because newspapers and magazines continue to carry daily horoscopes or astrological charts many individuals accept them as bonafide. The general public is rarely exposed to a scientific critique of the principles of astrology and of the hazards of believing in them,” Kurtz charges. New drop-add system Registration they tried to avoid the long lines Course Request Form to the windows in Hayes B. While this would have saved the students the extra long wait, they would not have known which classes they received until the following day. Only a very small number of students elected to use the old drop-add system, Bailey said. For the most part, A&R officials, while regretting the long lines, believed that this year’s registration procedure was an improvement over last year’s. Unlike the fall, 1974, when several thousand students had to wait in the rain outside Clark Hall to pick up schedule cards, this year most students pre-registered in the spring and summer and received their schedule cards in the mail several weeks before classes began. Of the undergraduate students who were here last year, 91 percent pre-registered last May. Because of this, Dremuk said that A&R was able to prepare an analysis of course demand, which enabled the departments to plan class sections based on demand. by Mike McGuire Contributing Editor Boyer, a Sophomore transfer student the line at Hayes Annex B at a quarter to approached morning of classes, with the intention of on the first eleven two courses. As the weather started to get hotter, adding he began to get a little upset over the size of the line. Lenny By the time the clock struck a quarter to four, Lenny had to leave the lie to go to work. Luckily, one of the newly-found friends he met while standing there for five hours handed in his forms with her own. That occurred somewhat around 5 p.m. Lenny still got closed out one of the courses. This was just the sort of problem Admissions & Records (A&R) was trying to avoid this year, according to A&R officials. Give lines a chance Actually, said A&R Director Richard Dremuk and Assistant Directors for Registration Richard Canale and Robert Bailey, the new “on-line” system for dropping and adding courses represents a great improvement, given a chance to work. The system lets students know on-the-spot which sections are closed. In the first place, Bailey and Dremuk said they requested a minimum of nine terminals in Hayes B, plus the use of all the room opposite the registration windows. According to their estimates, this would enable A&R to handle drops and adds with a minimum of delay. However, they only received 60% of the room and five terminals, although three more were added on Thursday, September 4. Registration officials were also perturbed by budget cuts forcing A&R to close its Ellicott office. Dremuk said they had hoped to put computer terminals there so students with no Main Street classes would not have to come to Hayes B to register. In the spring, they hope to have ten terminals. However, whether they will be able to use the other space, normally reserved as a staff lounge, will depend on negotiations between the Civil Service Employees Association and the office of the Vice-President for Facilities Planning. These two bodies will have to agree on —I ekes an acceptable alternative location for the lounge, which is mandated by union contract. Mix-up Registration difficulties actually started before the Labor Day weekend, when the computing center got tied up and the schedule cards that were supposed to be distributed in Diefendorf Hall on Tuesday, September 2, were not processed in time. Students who didn’t receive their cards on September 2 came to Hayes B the creating lines that extended as far as Acheson Hall. To compound the troubles, the computer was not “up” (able to process registration materials) until 9:30 a.m. on September 3, nearly an hour after A&R opened. Hours in line About every fifteen minutes, A&R staff would walk along the line and tell the students they could submit a Some success Nevertheless, many 200-level courses in the English Department have closed sections due to exceptionally heavy enrollment. In addition, night courses offered by the School of Management were often closed early, while some day school offerings are still open. By next year, the officials hope there can be a toll-free telephone line to A&R so that people who cannot be in Buffalo during the summer can work out registration problems. They would also like to hook up some sort of video print-out, that could tell students when sections close or open at the instant the change occurs. This would help eliminate fruitless waiting on lines. Good advice Dremuk stressed that students still have the option of using the old course request forms, which is just as convenient if a student is only dropping a course and doesn’t need an instant record of the change on the schedule. Cavale and Dremuk prescribed other ways of avoiding registration tie-ups. First, anyone who is returning to school the following semester should pre-register. Secondly, they should always include alternate courses on the request forms. Thirdly, make sure all accounts are settled with the Office of Student Accounts. And fourthly, if you need advisement, get it early. Friday, 12 September 1975 . The Spectrum .

The Council does, however, sponsor some joint religious activities. Last year the Council presented a Religious Music Festival and a Carnival for World Hunger. Similar activities are planned for this year. Points in common Saunders added that many campus clergy teach courses in the Religious Studies Program. Most of the religious organizations on campus function similarly, providing educational, social and religious services for students. The Protestant groups have a Sunday Night Free Supper each week. The Methodist group sponsors Retreats (spiritually enriching and recreational weekend excursions). Another area of interest to the Council is the Life Workshop program, which offers non-credit seminars in Bike Repair, Death and Dying, and Drunk Driving.

According to Hillel House director Rabbi Julius Hoffman, Hillel offers religious services to accommodate all types of Judaism Reformed, Conservative and Orthodox. Services are held weekly at 8 p.m. on Fridays and 10 a.m. on Saturdays. Rabbi Hoffman described the Hillel services as very “friendly and informal.” Services planned for Yom Kipper will be held both in the Fillmore Room at the Main Street Campus and in the Elficott Complex at the Amherst Campus. Some of the events that Hillel plans for the coming year,”kabbi Hoffman continued, include a Shabbaton “a complete Shabbat experience” with services, Sabbath meals and guest speakers.

If he loses, Regan will be faced with losing a line that usually produces more than 25,000 votes in a county-wide elction. In addition to this, Democrats outnumber Republicans by more than 35,000 in Erie County. Judicial races saw most of the endorsed candidates succeed in making the November ballot, despite a dizzying series of crossfilings. Besides the above-mentioned LaMendola-Denman contest, the Democrats nominated Peter J. Notaro, Edward V. Mazur, and John J. Honan for Family Court Judge, and John A. Ramunno, Alois C. Mazur, and Samuel L. Green for City Court Judge. All had been endorsed. Double winners Republicans nominated Leon W. Paxon, Elloeen D Oughterson, and Raymond R. Niemer for Family Court Judge.

All of the other endorsed Democratic and Republican candidates emerged victorious in Common Council and County Legislature races, although Legislature Chairman Richard Keane received a strong challenge from William Conrad in the Democratic primary.

A rally and mock trial were staged Tuesday afternoon in the Norton Fountain area to commemorate the fourth anniversary of the 1971 Attica Rebellion. “Judgement” was passed on former New York State Governor Nelson Rockefeller and his decision to order state troopers to retake the prison from the rebelling inmates. Also “charged” was University President Robert Ketter for his decision to veto mandatory student activity fee money allocated by the Student Assembly to charter buses to Albany last April for a rally in support of the Attica defendants. Ketter viewed the event as “political” and therefore, a violation of mandatory fee guidelines. Several speakers, including Attica defendent BigBlack, mentioned the danger anyone faces in “speaking out” against what is wrong with this state and our political and social systems. The specific problems faced by women, and the problems posed by cutbacks in aid to minority student projects were also discussed. The first speaker, Janice Silver of the Attica Support Group, told the crowd of about 150 that the students of this University support all 39 demands made by the rebelling inmates. She demanded that the suspensions oL five students following last April’s Hayes Hall demonstration “be lifted immediately.” She also claimed it is “the right of UB students Two Recording Secretaries Duties: Take minutes at various meetings for various units of Student Association One Assistant Treasurer Duties; SA bookeeping and treasurer assistance Positions are stipended!

Charges and attacks The “trial” charged Rockefeller with murder, as well as obstruction of justice for the state’s alledged* interference with the trials of Dacajewiah and Charley Joe Pernasalice. Ketter was accused of deliberately planning an attack on the students in Hayes Hall by Campus Security guards. Together they were charged with working together to keep the real story of the Attica rebellion from “reaching the people.” A student who spoke next attacked the University’s closing of the Day Care Center, cutbacks in minority affairs funds, and the alledged harrassment of gay men. He compared all these “injustices” to the State misconducts at Attica. “The establishment is trying to crush us!” he cried. Big Black, the final speaker, repeated over and over his appeal for black and white students here to unite in defense of the Attica brothers. “Together we can fight this thing,” he stressed.

On this particular day, in fact, a group of about ten inmates conducted a Muslim worship service by one of the yard walls, unnoticed by the guards. however, became Dewer, involved in a shoving match with another inmate. Witnesses claim the two were simply sparing good-naturedly; but one guard mistook the incident for a serious fight. They failed to stop, despite his warning. Unheard-of defiance When the guard approached, accompanied by another to back him up, one of the scufflers melted into the crowd. Dewer also tried to flee but was spotted by the guard. After taking hold of the inmate by the arm, the guard was caught off-guard when Dewer spun around and struck him twice on the chest. The other inmates began to crowd around the two struggling men, obviously excited by this act of defiance. After another prisoner, Ray to came Dewer’s Lamorie, the excitement assistance, two guards, increased. The frightened by the menacing, angry throng around them, decided to retreat. Dewer was released and the matter dropped until later that night. Vincent Superintendent Mancusi, already uneasy over the prison’s overcrowded conditions and the new spirit of unity among the inmates, decided firm action was the best response to this act of defiance. After dinner, he ordered Dewer and Lamorie put • Russell Oswald in solitary confinement in the area of the prison called “Housing Block Z” which the prisoners referred to as .'he Box.” “ Dewer’s cries as he was taken could be heard by every inmate in A-Block, Lamorie went along more quietly, but his departure also brought cries of protest from the other inmates.

This enabled one of the other inmates to flip the lever and release Ortiz from his cell. When Oritz’ absence was discovered, Mancusi finally ordered all the men in “Five Company” of A-Block to march back to their cells and then, with the exception of Ortiz, to be released again. Lieutenant Robert Curtiss, one AUDITIONS The aroused inmates quickly of A-yard, armed with pipes, chains, broomsticks and other makeshift weapons.

He fell heavily to the floor, and when three other officers came to his assistance, the angry inmates jumped on them as well. Curtiss was pursued down the passageway as he attempted to summon help, and the phone he was hoping to reach was ripped from the wall. Keys were taken from another guard, and inmates opened all the cells in A-Block. Because the prison had a history of remaining relatively trouble-free, the authorities had no real “riot plan” to activate. Thus, Mancusi and the other officials were too surprised to act quickly and about 15 minutes the revolting later, inmates swarmed down the passageway toward “Times Square,” the junction at the very center of the prison connecting A, B, C and D passageways and yards.

New York City and State officials have worked around the clock for weeks in attempting to meet city payrolls and ward off the disastrous possibility of default. First the Municipal Assistance Corporation ("Big Mac") was set up by the state to sell revenue-anticipation bonds backed by city sales taxes. When that failed to attract potential investors, city officials were forced to resort to more drastic, emergency measures for reducing the $3.3 billion deficit, that included dipping into pension funds, laying off thousands of municipal workers, pleading for advance payment of real-estate taxes, imposing a wage freeze, and raising the subway fares. Now there is serious talk of charging tuition at the City University (CUNY), a move that would effectively eliminate the "open admissions" policy and deny hundreds of students the opportunity to obtain a college education, but one that will probably be necessary to maintain the institution's academic quality in light of severe budgetary reductions. Recognizing the imperative need to bail New York City out, the New York State legislature made into law a measure that provides the "Big Apple" with $2.3 billi'on to survive between now and December 1. This is, however, only a temporary solution since New York will reportedly need $3.7 billion more between December 1 and June 30 to pull through its fiscal year. Despite the devastating effect a default by New York City would have on the other cities in the country, the federal government has thusfar refused to step in. Members of the Ford administration, particularly Treasury Secretary William Simon, remain oblivious to the urgency of the crisis and there will be no hope left if their pigheaded attitude does not change. New York City is not without blame for the financial mess it is in. However, it has made more efforts than any other city to give all its people a fair break by footing the nation's largest welfare role and attempting to provide quality, free education. Unfortunately, these are not top priority areas for the federal government and New York is cracking under the burden. There is no doubt that the federal government will have to do something to save New York or suffer the ripple effect the city's default would have on the rest of the country. Ideally, by taking over New York's welfare costs, the "feds" could rescue the "Big Apple" from its fiscal plight and show that its generosity is aimed in the right direction.

What good does it do to fight a partial battle against discrimination? Suppose that tomorrow, no biases existed Jews blacks Asiatics Native against women anybody. Suppose every person in Americans America had a truly equal right to be hired solely on the basis of their qualifications. Suppose there were — — — — - no more minorities. What would charges higher insurance rates for employees over the age of sixty-five, thus making it more expensive for Blue Bird to employ senior citizens. If the bus line cannot be blamed for Mr. Baldwin’s dismissal, then their insurance company certainly deserves indictment. It is a cruel form of discrimination to label all old people as high risk employees. Such discriminatory practices become particularly ludicrous when it can be seen by anyone who bothers to look that the minds of old people retain their yes, and often their bodies, too! sharpness and vitality long after the age of sixty-five. They do not shrivel overnight into senility, as some - that profit us, if those newly-liberated ex-minority people were arbitrarily fired as soon as they reached the age of sixty-five? Mr. A1 Baldwin, who crive the Ellicott-Ridge Lea bus last year, was dismissed from his job. He was an excellent driver. Moreover, he was an exceptional person. This was attested to by dozens of students who sent him frequent cards, gifts, and notes of appreciation. He didn’t just drive people around he made them feel good, too. He was fired because he was over seventy. 1 was told that this was not the fault of the bus line. The company that insures Blue Bird bus drivers - would believe. Mr. Baldwin’s arbitrary dismissal will sadden the students to whom he brought so much sunshine. But how many of us will be angry? We would certainly be upset if someone was fired (or not hired) solely on the basis of being “too female,” “too black,” or “too Jewish.” But until the phrase “too old” angers us as much as those other phrases, we are not going to grow at all.

Its assemblage of news footage, movie clips, songs, still photographs, and cartoons careens wildly across the Depression decade with all the carefully choreographed, earnest sentimentality of a Busby Berkeley production but often evidencing no more true feeling than number those calendar pages that used to whip across the frames of thirties movies. Everything and everybody that ever made the papers (particularly the gossip columns) during what the film's - material calls "the laughing, crying, promotional never-to-be-forgotten 30's" (with many exclamation points) shows up here, at least for a few seconds. Here are the Stork Club at New Year's Eve, 1938, Boulder Dam filling up for the first time, Cecil B. DeMille directing one of his casts of thousands, and Billie Holiday clinging to a cold steel rail through the "Jealousy Blues." Will Rogers praises Franklin Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover criticizes him, Huey P. Long makes fun of him, Giuseppe Zangara tries to wife. kill him. And Jack Benny sells a benefit ticket to his Early warning? J. Edgar Hoover advises, without a trace of irony, that "the F.B.I. is as close to you as your nearest telephone." Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart, Marlene Dietrich, W.C. Fields and King Kong all dash back and forth across the screen hot on the heels of Dust Bowl farmers and freight-hopping hoboes. Louis meets Schmeling (both times); the headliners meet the breadliners for a split second, but there is no time to pause for introductions The rapid cuts from one situation to the next are often sensitively achieved, but writer-director Philippe Mora's juxtapositions are just as often embarassingly cute or quite meaningless. (Incidentally, it is not clear exactly what Mora wrote or directed, since someone else is credited with the editing; a better title might have been "compiler" or even "chief archivist.") President Roosevelt's stern insistence, in a 1939 speech, that "we will not have a blackout of peace" is followed immediately by a shot of the White House at and all the lights are shut off for the evening at night - exactly the same moment. A beautifully put-together sequence showing striking factory workers and the terrifying start of a riot, accompanied by Woody Guthrie's "Vigilante Man, dissolves inexplicably into the coy title "Hooray for Hollywood," and suddenly there's Shirley Temple on Academy Awards night. ("Oh, it's so bright and shiny! Aren't you proud of it, Mr. Disney?") The good, the bad and the stupid Mora's transitions can be divided into thj-ee fairly clear categories: perceptive and subtle, obvious and clumsy, and downright incomprehensible. Perhaps the odd mish mash that sometimes results was conceived of as a comment on to quote the ads once again, this the prevailing Zeitgeist equal parts of vitality and era founded on was an vulgarity" but, good intentions aside, unevenness is still — — unevenness. Still, balancing out these flaws and an overly pat finale in which Mora tries to link the body of the film to a montage covering the Iqst four administrations in as many "minutes, winding up with a reversal of his opening sequence of melting skyscrapers and exploding ticker-tape, is the extraordinary range of his material. The interviews are especially fascinating, particularly those with John Dillinger's unusually understanding father (famous last words. "I guess he had a grudge against people from getting such a raw deal") and a very young Orson Welles the morning after the War of the Worlds Halloween hysteria ("I would have been surprised and if anyone said a broadcast could be less effective hurt than life"). Whole Hollywood catalog Mora gives at least a quick nod of acknowledgement to every major film of the decade and its stars; indeed, if Brother may be said to have a "star," it is certainly James Cagney, who pops up in one guise or another about every including Cab 15 minutes. And the music alone Calloway's "Hi-De-Ho" in a Harlem cabaret, Ina Ray Hutton and Her All-Girls Orchestra belting out "Every Man's a King" while lyricist Huey Long bounces in his is front-row seat, and the stunning footage of Lady Day worth at least the price of a matinee. Some of the film clips themselves verge on brilliance. — — A dance marathon sequence, shot as the last few survivors drag their sleeping partners in endless circles, focuses on the grotesquely twisted feet of the "silent partners" for a full half-minute before the camera pulls back to explain this apparent dismemberment. The point is beautifully made the disembodied limbs in their dancing slippers are as pathetically unrelated to the realities driving their owners as is the absurdity of the contest itself. If Philippe Mora could only have been as consistently intriguing as his subjects. Brother. Can You Spare a Dime? (now playing at the Boulevard Mall and Eastern Hills Cinemas) might have turned out to be more than just a very entertaining pastiche. - �Our Weekly Reader I chord would be violently struck if this were a movie.

Cassavettes' improvisational approach to filmmaking perhaps reaches its full fruition in Woman, with Peter Falk and Oscar nominee Gena Rowlands, both stunning in fheir portrayals of a couple being destroyed by alienation, alcohol and their failure to realize and satisfy each other's needs. It's a very powerful film, which I have heard more women recommend to more men than any other film I can think of. Day for Night won Truffaut the 1974 Oscar as Best Foreign Film. It's easy to understand why: the film is a deeply affectionate not portrait of what has been called "the magic of moviemaking" naively in the slightest, but still in a warm and rich manner.

(Gordon Rogoff, former Theatre Department Chairman and CTR Director, left the University to become Chairman of the Brooklyn College Theatre Department.) is one of the that reasons Elkin will be to continuing teach the Accessibility Department's basic course, Introduction to Theatre (Theatre 105), as he has for several years. He sees this sort of initial contact as crucial, both to prospective more theatre students and generally: "There's a small group of students 80 to 100 majors — — training here to become theatre professionals. But there is amuch as many as a larger group who thousand students a year take theatre courses. My hope is to Create that second group to turn people on to theatre. Part of a theatre department's mission is not only to carry out theatre to educate education, but — — - summer experimentation, and to share the "What I have in mind is two plays, which would play first on this campus and then in the parks and neighborhoods of Buffalo." One of these would possibly be a Shakespearean comedy; the other, "an original play based on the life and heart and sould of Buffalo, possibly even called 'The Buffalo Play' a 'gift of theatre' from the benefit of visiting professionals with students. That's going to happen now, perhaps to a greater — University to Buffalo." The summer program might also play at Artpark in Lewiston.

It is small wonder that the parochial minded critics yearned for a return to a more Hall and Oates, romantic posture. fearing an irreconcilable gulf apparently from critic and audience alike, decided to mellow their sound by journeying through the past. Perhaps it was a quasi-calculated move to cash in on the disco craze by hoping once again to make contact with the sluggish pulse of the common denominator. haunting RECORDS i John Oates (RCA) A cardinal sin committed by musical artists is abandoning the demanding process of maturation and exploration for complacent, static formulas and blatant bids for mass appeal. Hall and Oates have finally succumbed to this malady on their latest release, oddly enough entitled Daryl Hall and John Oates. The album retraces avenues of expression already amply covered by Daryl and John on War Babies and especially Abandoned Luncheonette. The tracks lack the energy and production and brilliance that were arranging hallmarks of their two previous albums. The evolution of Hall and Oates music grew from folk to soul and then flowered, into a city sound. The city sound rocked and rumbled like the E train vomiting graffiti. Certain critics, unable to fathom Daryl Hall & Eumir Deodato, First Cuckoo (MCA) Instruments are the tools that are used to make music and Eumir Deodato employs a multitude of tools on this album, therefore the vinyl must have a lot of music on it. False. The many very talented people that play on First Cuckoo just don't make their sounds flow together often enough. Deodato can tickle the ivory well enough to make just about anyone merry and on this album he instills gaiety only when he plays low keyed, laid back numbers. Two such tunes are on the album and they are First Cuckoo's savior. "Crabwalk" is a Deodato tune with an intro by Hubert Laws' lilting flute. The title offers the best description possible for Bruce Springsteen, Born to Run (Columbia) Bruce Springsteen has been put into a number of overused categories by his record company and the media, categories such as "the new Dylan," (there are an awful lot of these lately) "street poet" (even more of these) and even "the soul of the city" (obviously a contradiction in terms). It is because of this unfortunate hype, as well as the almost incessant urgings by some of my friends, that I had the city sound which characterized War Babies, lashed out and called it a noisy excursion down the chaotic dead-end of glitter rock. But War Babies in reality was a the song. Picture a lonely crab crawling along the shore and listen for a wispy horn to sweep him away everytime he comes across a rock or wave. On this song Deodato gets the musicians playing for him to really float together. The only other selection worthy of is "Adam's Hotel," honorable mention penned by Marcos Valle. Here Deodato keeps the song simple, leaving out the massive, often stifling horn section, and plays some light headed electric piano while he whistles along. Accenting Deodato's sound is a large string accompaniment which is kept in check and merely offers background music for the piano, giving us a pleasant, warm, fireplace life and seedy love affairs. Still, the pictures he paints of these of life are frighteningly stark and accurate, and he has the delivery and facets musical help necessary to back them up. Whether or not Bob Dylan ever had these things is left up to the reader, but it seems to me that the term "street poet" is an incomplete description of Springsteen’s unproductive talents. Besides, is about time that it people, critics in particular, stopped using Dylan as the standard criterion for judging new songwriters The title song of the new album, written as a make-or-break attempt at a hit single, attests to the all-around excellence of Bruce and the E Street Band, vocally as well as instrumentally.

The sound slowly builds as Springsteen begins the tale of a hot night in Jersey: Barefoot girt sitting on the hood of a Dodge Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain The Rat pulls into town rolls up his pants By the end of the second verse, the texture has changed from that of a ballad to that of a Who concert, power chords backing words of violence and night life.

Lines like these, projected forcefully a great arrangement, create an aura which is reminiscent of old rock & roll, yet fully contemporary in sound Springsteen's guitar playing, as well as his arrangements, betray a fascination with the fifties and early sixties, yet he never relies solely on the past for inspiration. The instrumentation on the album’s eight cuts is widely varied, ranging from all-out rock to fifties harmonies to a trumpet-piano-bass barroom sound in the course- of the first three songs of the second side. "Jungleland," the album's final (and probably best) cut, begins with a fact. ratin' afternoon, but it will help you go to sleep at night. over Sometime over the summer, however, I started catching gems like "rosalita" and "Incident on 57th Street" on the local FM station and began to suspect that maybe the Springsteen cultists had latched onto something very good.

Dylan would probably come out on top of any such contest of words, being equally at home Putting an end to speculation, and paper thin theories of motivation, Daryl Hall and John Oates remains a pale reflection of their true capabilities. Enough of the material sounds like spin-offs from previous endeavors and the momentary feeling of d6ja vu is revealed and unmasked as no more than repetition. Another fault of the album is the production, which too often sounds frail and unimaginative As much of a disappointment as Daryl Hall and John Oates is, it does contain glimpses when it nearly delivers what it barely only hits at musically. These moments are brought off by the expressive vocal foreplay of Daryl Hall. His voice happens to be among the best in rock. Hall's fluttering falsettos bring to mind the best of Jackie Wilson and the viability of blue eyed soul. Daryl's dynamic vocals almost transform mediocre tunes into sizzling and soulful numbers. "Out of Me, Out of You," "Nothing at All," and "It Matter Anymore" provide Doesn't convincing evidence of Daryl's uncanny ability to stir life into his songs. But even Daryl Hall can't make this album what it isn't. Artistry has been chucked for a slick commercial product that hasn't anymore depth than the Pierre LaRouche make-up that adorns the countenance of Daryl and John on the album jacket. —C.P.

Only A Few Minutes From The Cam US �Uproar Marriage licenses for Denver gays Cowboy hat in hand, a fuming Colorado resident marched into the County Clerk’s office in Boulder and demanded a marriage license for himself and his horse. The request was denied. His 8-year-old mare, it seems, was underage. Decent folks in Boulder have been up in arms recently over the issuance of same-sex marriage licenses, and the County Clerk s office, which insists it’s going by the books, has been bombarded with over 100 obscene phone calls. “Most of the nasty calls center around renditions from the Bible,” reported Clela Rorex, Boulder s County Clerk. The Court has issued six marriage licenses to homosexual couples in the week following a well-publicized homosexual marriage in a Denver church. (CPS) - Legal marriage? The licenses will probably be contested in court and in the opinion of the Colorado Attorney General they will probably be invalidated, perhaps setting the stage for a future Supreme Court decision. A Colorado marriage was not the first homosexual union, however. The first gay nuptial vows were said a couple of years ago by two Minnesota men. Jack Baker, former University of Minnesota student body president and Mike McConnell. Baker and McConnell have recently tried to adopt a child but ran into a brick wall when the adoption agency refused to consider their application. They are appealing the case to the St. Paul Human Rights Commission. Baker, an attorney, cites a number of legal arguments which in his opinion guarantee the right to same-sex marriage, including both the equal protection clause and the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. While the present tangle concerns the legality of a same-sex marriage, gay marriages are not uncommon. Gay spokespeople note that thousands of homosexual couples have been united in religious ceremonies in recent years without a government document. Still others have received licenses by having one partner pose as a member of the opposite sex.

Reiss Spectrum Staff Writer Hoping to regain lost confidence and inspire new teamwork, Buffalo’s Baseball Bulls are preparing to embark upon a new fall season. In attempting to improve on last year’s 31 -25 record (which included fall, winter and spring competition), the Bulls are devoting special attention to certain areas. “We’ve been stressing fundamentals,” said Bill Monkarsh, now in his ninth year as baseball coach. “This team has worked hard in the fall than any other I’ve coached so far.” According to Monkarsh, one of the keys to the team’s success lies in the improvement of its overall defense. Despite a basically sound defense last year, sloppy play and mental errors cost the Bulls more than one victory. Oops A typical problem Buffalo encountered last year was the catching of routine infield flies. Too often, three infielders would surround a pop-up, only to watch the ball drop between them. Monkarsh feels these' defensive lapses were attributed to the fact that last year’s infield was entirely new. “Now that we’ve been playing together for a full season, many of these problems should be resoled. The situation was a new one for all involved, and the players had to develop a sense of teamwork. 1 think this has been accomplished and hopefully some of those problems won’t arise again,” he said. The infield will once again be led by shortstop Jack Kaminska.

Perhaps the most serious problem Monkarsh faces is restoring confidence in his pitchers. The staff is intact and should be a sound one, but control was a problem all last year. “We never regained the edge of two years ago,” the coach related. “Now we’re working on correcting mistakes and allowing the pitchers to gain confidence in their basic abilities.” Some of the pitchers, like Jim Niewczyk, helped themselves during the vacation by playing summer ball. Niewczyk posted a record of 12-2 in a Western New York league. Bats in the outfield The outfield, which was the power of the team last year, once again looks strong. Jim Mary and his .420 average have returned to anchor left field, while center will be temporarily manned by Rick Wolstenholme temporarily because Wolstenholme is being groomed for second base in an attempt to get more punch into the lineup. Wolstenholme’s successor in center has yet to be found. A broken arm suffered by right fielder Jim Scarcello' has left his position open until he will be able to return in the spring. Buffalo’s catching will be as solid as ever with Mike Dixon, one of the best collegiate catchers around, doing the chores. The offensive slack that was created by players who graduated last term will have to be picked up by some first year players. But the key areas for a successful season will be, as Monkarsh put it, “good pitching and solid defense.

This year will also be a povital year. Last year, Bruce Engel’s TGIF became in a controversy which should never have occurred. This year, The Bullpqn'% major goal will be to avoid that unnecessary battle. If a restatement of the opinions of the Sports Editor of The Spectrum is all that happens on the sports pages of this newspaper for. the next nine months, I will have done my job. A friend of mine suggested that I call this column TGIR (Thank God It’s Rubin) which isn’t a bad idea. Engel offended people he didn’t want to and didn’t offend the ones he really disliked. Yet despite all the uproar about his editorship, he really did support intercollegiate athletics at this school. But enough about last year. Engel is in Missouri, and from now on my name will appear next to “Sports Editor” in the masthead. Let me first say that I wholeheartedly support intercollegiate athletics at Buffalo. If I didn’t, then 1 would have to be a real idiot to spend more time writing about athletics than I do attending class. Let me also say that every member of my staff feels the same way. This wholehearted support does not mean however that the sports department of The Spectrum will publish stories which advertise Buffalo sporting events. That is public relations, not news. If the tennis team loses, we’ll try to find out why they lost, and the story will be just as long as if they had won. We’ll recognize outstanding performances by teams or individuals, but if the wrestling team, for instance, drops six matches in a row this winter, that will be well noted, too. There should be no need for me to expound these practices of journalism, but the objections raised by members of the University in recent years shows an awful lack of knowledge about a journalist’s responsibilities. (Perhaps if the - ipplll at 3 photos University offered some journalism courses, this problem could be alleviated.) When budget time comes around next spring, my staff will be primarily concerned with trying to sort out the rumors, proposals, and arguments which turn up. But we will also concern ourselves with what we think should and should not be done. The Bullpen and commentaries by other members of the sports staff will discuss the pros and cons of those various rumors and proposals. I also invite all interested parties to write commentaries, Guest Opinions, or possibly even a segment of The Bullpen to express their views. Student Athletic Review Board Chairman Dennis Delia did some writing last year, and I hope he and others like him continue to contribute to The Spectrum. The budget, however, is something 1 wish 1 didn’t have to deal with. I am a sportswriter, and budget hearings is not sport. If I wanted to go to Student Assembly meetings, I’d write campus news. This year, the sports staff is one of the largest and most experienced in recent history, and more and better stories should find their way onto the sports pages of The Spectrum. The Bulls this year are inauguaring conference play with Buffalo State, Canisius and Niagara in many sports, and we will keep close track of league developments. The wrestling Bulls, a perennial powerhouse, will be entering their own conference which includes such powers as Penn State and Lock Haven. We’ll have some pro football predictions, Athlete of the Week, and an improved Statistics Box. We’ll keep an eye on intramurals and club sports, and we’ll be running the inter-collegiate harness racing championship which was so popular last year. As far as The Bullpen itself is concerned, it will be pretty free-wheeling. Comedy, tragedy, documentary and commentary will all appear from time to time. Basically it will be my opportunity to shoot off my rather loud mouth in print. mod school applications. lavs school applications, ID and test photos S3 (S 50 each additional with original order) Open Wednesdays and Thursdays: 11 a.m. 5 p.m. COUNCIL ON INTERNATIONAL STUDIES OVERSEAS ACADEMIC PROGRAMS INTERNATIONAL AREA STUDIES INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING PROGRAM ARABIC PROGRAM CHINESE PROGRAM Intensive English Language Institute Special Studies Publications 125 252 285 326 350 Introduction to International Development Culture and Art of Meso-America Native Peoples Modern Mid-East Political Structures Economy of the Third World 213461 004913 020151 166452 099074 For further information call: 831-4941 Council on Tnternational Studies; 107 Townsed Hall, Main Campus Friday, 12 September 1975 .

The plans presently include a hotel, market, dry cleaners, savings bank, barber shop, or “any other type of service people need to live,” UB Foundation President John Latona told The Spectrum in an interview Monday. The UB Foundation, incorporated to promote private support of the University, has been charged with overseeing the commercial construction in Amherst primarily because it is the only financial branch of the University which has the resources to raise the amount of initial credit necessary. Latona estimated the cost at somewhere between eight and ten million dollars, and said the money will be obtained either in the form of a savings bank loan or from pension funds. The University is currently negotiating a lease for the land on the Amherst Campus with the State University of New York (SUNY), subject to approval of the State University at Buffalo Board of Trustees, the SUNY Board of Trustees, the State Division of the Budget, and Comptroller the Honor societies Arthur Levitt Detailed discussion of the planned commerical establishments is being put off until work on the lease is completed, Latona reported. However, all the planned facilities are expected to be completely self-sufficient and will receive no subsidy from the State University. Legislation permitting construction of the commercial facilities was signed into law by Governor Hugh Carey in July. The bill had met with angry opposition from Town of Amherst officials until it was amended to provide for special payments to the town in lieu of taxes. The bill was sponsored by State Senator James McFarland, (R—Kenmore), and Assemblyman G. James Frenaming, (D—Synder), whose districts include the Amherst campus area. The commercial facilities will be located along Lee Entrance Road on the Amherst Campus, south of the Ellicott Complex, west of Lake LaSalle, and directly north of the academic spine’s new language ’ building. Latona said architecture and design of commercial facilities will be very strongly controlled to be sure they are integrated with the rest of the campus. the Grade inflation and the new academic by Howard Greenbiatt Campus Editor At a time when students and university faculty and administrators across the country report an “inflated grade market,” membership in academic honor societies appears to be on the rise. And at a time when the competition for entrance to graduate schools and career positions is becoming more intense, students are increasingly conscious of improving their academic image. On this campus, there are dozens of ways in which student excellence in academic areas, extracurricular activities, and service to the University may be “rewarded.” Each year hundreds of students are eligible for special recognition, which in some cases involves cash awards, but many are either ignorant of the membership criteria or are simply unaware that awards and societies exist. The most common academic honor at this University the Dean’s tist, which is compiled at the end of every is semester, and which is often taken for granted. Students carrying a full-time course-load (16 or more credit hours a term) who, in 12 hours or more of graded courses achieve a 3.2 or better quality point average (QPA) are officially “eligible” for the Dean’s List. 2500 students In fact, students satisfying these grade requirements are automatically placed on the Dean’s List, and are notified shortly after the end of the term. Dorothy Wynne, Assistant Director of Advisement for the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) reports that last semester, there were about 2500 students placed on the Dean’s List, a slight decrease over the previous semester. Upon graduating, students in all four-year undergraduate programs may be eligible to receive Latin Honors for high overall QPA’s. Students may graduate cum laude (with honor) if their QPA average is 3.2, magna cum laude (with high honor) for 3.5, and summa cum laude (with highest honor) for 3.75 or better. The average for Latin Honors is computed from eight semesters of work. To achieve Latin Honors, which are inscribed on the diploma, transfer students must not only have the appropriate grades, but according to the DUE Bulletin, their State University at Buffalo average must be commensurate with the required QPA for a given level of honors. Kay Dudley, Secretary to Dean Charles Ebert, reports that about 800 graduating students received Latin Honors last June, “and every one received a personally typed.and signed letter from the Dean.” Each department In the University has the perogative of awarding degrees “with highest distinction,” “with high distinction,” and “with distinction” to students who have achieved a certain level of academic excellence during their undergraduate years. Criteria vary from department to department, and some award no honors at all. A student must usually be enrolled in a special honors program to achieve these distinctions. There are numerous honor societies to which qualified students may belong, and many on this campus are local chapters of national organizations. Alpha Lambda Delta is a national scholastic honor society for freshmen women who have earned a 3.5 QPA during their first semester or during their entire freshman year, based on a total of 12 graded hours. Freshman women who meet these requirements are invited to join, and there is a local annual initiation rite during which new members recite an oath and receive an engraved certificate. Men’s counterpart Phi Eta Sigma is the men’s counterpart to Alpha Lambda Delta. The membership requirements are the same, and new initiates also receive a gold lapel key to signify their distinction. Both organizations are dedicated —continued on page 14— image to the pursuit of high academic achievement, and hold meetings, lectures and projects to farther this aim. Perhaps the most well-known, coveted, and most prestigious undergraduate honorary society is Phi Beta Kappa. The local chapter of this national society holds three elections per year. Honorees are selected from students in traditional liberal arts and sciences programs who have completed between 80-96 graded semester hours with a QPA of 3.8 or above. Students in B. A. programs who have completed 112 or more hours with an average of 3.6 or above will be considered for election on the basis of nomination by individual departments or programs. According to national Phi Beta Kappa regulations, election must be based on overall quality, difficulty of the program selected, and “evidence of intellectual accomplishment.” 10 percent limit Local Phi Beta Kappa chapters, according to the rules, may not elect more than ten percent of a given class to membership. Students who feel they may be eligible for membership to this society should inform the Secretary-Treasurer, Claude Welch, at the Department of Political Science, by mail. There are also numerous grants and endowed scholarships set aside for students from a variety of academic disciplines and family backgrounds. Students interested in these awards should consult the DUE Bulletin. �Big, bigger supposedly best , seem to be springing up overnight.

One of the more striking features of the new campus is sixty-acre Lake LaSalle. Students and visitors admire the aesthetic charm of the lake, but architects and engineers know that without it, the campus would probably not exist. The lake provided 1.1 million cubic feet of landfill which was used to raise buildings above flood levels. The campus is actually built upon a huge swamp, a fact which source of has been the controversy during the planning and construction years. Charles Ebert, dean of Undergraduate Education, a renowned geographer, still maintains that the Amherst site was probably a mistake, but University President Ketter, Robert himself an insists that teams of engineer, architects and engineers from around the world studied the land carefully and approved of the location. Underground power The campus is all electric and utilities will be underground. distribution, Power communications and utility works of various kinds are part of the system. The Chilled Water Plant, will nearly completed, now all academic air-condition buildings, a picturesque college town, and well-trimmed quads were transformed into a 1200 acre construction site. And despite the seemingly insurmountable hassles which beset Amherst Campus residents ,(poor bus service, no stores, no recreational facilities), a certain pioneer spirit prevailed, and with the awareness that everyone was in the same boat came the realization that misery could be fun. Impressive improvement Two years later, one cannot fail to be impressed by the rapid improvement at Amherst. Rows of trees line newly-paved streets, sidewalks and bicycle paths, grass grows everywhere, and buildings Nursing, which will remain on the Main Street Campus. State University Trustees, the State Legislature, the Division of the Budget, and Governors Rockefeller and Carey have made a $650 million committment for building the campus.

Circulation average: 14,000 Spaulding Quad residents, many of whom are new to the Univeristy, are complaining vehemently about the “deplorable” living conditions in their corner of the Ellicott Complex. Many of the students claim they were promised adequate housing in advance, but instead found themselves placed in inadequate temporary housing last week. Insufficient garbage collection, a lack of maintenance, and the absence of Resident Advisors are among the complaints. One student, who is now residing on the eighth floor of building four of the quad, indicated that “there is garbage piled in the halls that has accummulated for some time, which is a dangerous fire hazard.” Many also complained that the bathrooms have not been cleaned or resupplied, and that the vents which service the bathrooms are also out of order. Broken showers, no telephones, no laundry or vending machines, no lounge furniture, and inadequate lighting at night, are among the remaining grievances. Residents also complained that they are not receiving mail, and that all but one of the outside doors are always locked. Contradicting observations Assistant Housing Director Cliff Wilson, contends, however, that all 97 students living in Spaulding were previously informed by mail that there would be no other permanent residence space available to accommodate them. Students temporarily residing in Spaulding will have to wait two weeks before being placed in a permanent living facility, Wilson said. Wilson also insisted that he personally investigated the complaints, and found most of the student grievances were for the most part exaggerated. “I am positive that Spaulding Quad has indeed received garbage collection and cleaning services,” Wilson claimed, adding that “housing had not originally planned to open Spaulding at all, and therefore, it is understandable that Spaulding would not be as accommodating as the other quads.” Wilson attributes the lack of telephones, laundry, and vending machines, to the fact that Spaulding was supposed to be closed. He added that all 97 students would be moved out of Spaulding by next week. “We are aware of this situation, and can understand the students’ concern, but as 1 said, they were previously informed of the temporary housing facilities,” he stressed. He also expressed disappointment that the students did not bring their complaints to the Housing Office directly. “If students would voice their grievances, we could work to improve their situation a lot faster.” Student action The students in Spaulding, however, are not satisfied with Wilson’s assurances. They have notified both the Student Association (SA) and the Inter-Residence Council (IRC), and those organizations are now taking action toward improving the Spaulding situation. Bert Black, SA Sub-director of the Amherst Campus, is trying to arrange a financial credit agreement with housing, which would entitle the Spaulding residents to a discount in dormitory expenses to help compensate for the “inexcusable inconveniences” they have suffered. �News analysis Buffalo and the budget by Pat Quinlivan City Editor In the past few months, it has become obvious that New York City is a metropolis teetering on the brink of fiscal disaster. The largest city in the nation is staggering under a $3.3 billion debt, and is barely living from payday to payday on loans and bond sales. The Municipal Assistance Corporation (Big Mac), which was formed over the summer by state and city officials, has not proven to be the life-saver that many hoped it would j)e. large banks have refused to advaift:?' loans to New York because they can see no way for the city to pay them back. For one thing, the New York City fathers allowed their debt to rise to astronomical proportions, through adroit juggling of the books. Unfortunately, this only served to hide the debt, not to reduce it. No defaults But in Buffalo, the “Queen City,” John Conway of the Division of the Budget told The Spectrum that, “We appropriate money every year for our debt payments, and we have never defaulted.” Conway indicated that the budgets for both this and the next fiscal year allow for the coverage of debt payments. Another of New York’s problems concerns the size of its payroll, which was 75 percent between the early 1960’s and the present. In addition to this, a number of strikes by municipal employees raised the average salaries of many city workers dramatically. Now, Mayor Beame has found it necessary to cut the city work force drastically, or at least he has threatened to make such cuts. Unfortunately for Beame, the workers have responded with wildcat strikes. expanded by approximately “Master Plan” New York City Mayor Abraham Beame and Governor Hugh Carey recently came up with a “master plan” for cooperation between the city and the state, but even this might prove to be too little, too late. With $441 million in short-term notes due on September 15, and with a $102 million payroll to meet on September 12, it is growing ever more likely that only federal aid will be able to pull New York out of its hole, if indeed anything can. What happened in New York that didn’t happen in other cities; that didn’t happen Pensior fund In Buffalo, the rate of increase of the in Buffalo, for example. reason municipal payroll has been held within the past decate.

If, however, the voters reject the referendum, “I don’t know what we’ll do,” Conway said. Beyond this, the crisis in which New York finds itself will have a direct effect on other cities like Buffalo when they go to borrow money for the next fiscal year. “Our rates will go up,” said Conway, and this will put still more pressure on harried mayors and city managers across the country. For New York, drowning in a sea of red ink, the immediate problem is one of survival. Cities like Buffalo are safe for now, but they are watching what happens to New York, and are trying to pull their belts just one notch tighter. these extremes. One thing that continues to hang over the heads of Mayor Makowski and the Buffalo Common Council is the question of funding the pension fund. Presently, Buffalo is paying its pensions through a property tax by special permission of.the State Legislature. Permission has also been given by the Legislature to tax property to pay for next year’s pension fund.

So far. Mayor Stanley Makowski has tried to find a reasonable alternative to both of by Fredda Cohen Feature Editor Crime on campus is expected to increase during the school year because of the greater number of students residing in the Ellicott Complex, according to Assistant Director of Campus Security Lee Griffin. Twenty-four crimes have already been reported since the semester began. Since Kllicott was first occupied last year, it has had a much higher crime rate than either the Governors Residence Halls or Main Street dorms. This is attributed to the many entrances on both the first floor and the plaza level. Arsen, assaults and grand larcenies have decreased in past years, but the number of robberies and burglaries, both break-in crimes, and criminal mischief, harassment and grand larceny have increased. Break-ins “The biggest problem is that students leave the doors opened. There is a desire to have this open free living structure. This facilitates break-ins,” Griffin observed. One such incident occurred last Saturday when a Resident Advisor (RA) left the door of his room open, fell asleep for five minutes, and woke up to find his wallet missing. “As an RA, 1 was told by my head resident to keep the door open so that people would be free to walk in,” he explained. After questioning people on his floor, he reported the theft to the head resident, who mentioned that he, too, might have been ripped off that week. There has not been a reported rape on campus since 1971. However, rapes and other sexual assaults have occurred off campus. Campus Security co-sponsored a symposium with the nursing department last April dealing with rape prevention. Crime prevention Although Griffin maintains that there is not a large recorded rape problem on campus, he suggests that people be cautious. “It’s always a good idea to walk with someone else late at night We have no hideous crimes on campus to support this, but one doesn’t want to become our first statistic.” Campus Security is placing greater emphasis on crime prevention this year. In addition to the guards who patrol the dorms at night, a plainclothes officer plus two uniformed officers will act as liaisons between students, Security and the Housing Office. They will hold floor meetings to suggest preventive measures and hang warning posters. “People have been more sensitive to security and have been reporting more crimes,” claimed Charles Brunskill, Campus Security’s technical associate. “We are becoming more expedient through this and more technical equipment.” Security obstacles However, Campus Security still claims to be understaffed, and has eliminated several programs, such as the student security-aide program, which called for University identification before entering a dormitory. “I don’t think that it will affect the crime rate, but it will affect people’s perception of security,” Griffin noted, adding, “It would have been impossible to man all the doors of the Ellicott Complex even under the best budget conditions.” Minority and foreign students tend not to report crimes as frequently as white students, according to a report on residence hall security. The report infers that foreign students fear their visas will be affected, while minority students harbor unfavorable attitudes to law enforcers. Crime breakdown The security policy depends upon the type of crime that occurs and ensuing reactions on the part of the community, explained Griffin. Some dorm residents are requesting more officers, but others feel threatened seeing uniformed officers on campus. More non-students have been apprehended for crimes on campus than students. In 1974, the crime breakdown was 105 non-students, 45 students and one staff member. Brunskill attributed the greater number of non-students to difficulty in getting one student to prosecute another. Dormitories are now the highest security priority. “We have to get more out of each individual officer, and people must respond to them,” Griffin noted. ilmns. 3 photos Open 11) and S3 (S SO each additional with original order) Wcdncsd. d Ihursdavs I 1 a m Wednesday, 10 September 1975 .

The main purpose of the event, in addition to letting people know about the CAC’s work, is to enlist new volunteers in its many programs. Project heads, coordinators of CAC’s several organizational divisions, and at least one assistant director of the group will be present to answer questions about CAC, and to sign up new volunteers. CAC celebrated its tenth birthday this past February, and in that time has grown from a few dozen people in a War-On Poverty inspired program to over two thousand volunteers involved in a multi-faceted attack on society’s problems. The involvement of large numbers of students last year made CAC the second largest organization of its kind in the country, second only to the Federal Government’s ACTION program (which includes VISTA and the Peace Corps) in its number of active volunteers. Besides projects throughout Western New York that last year drew over 2000 volunteers, CAC is offering seven four-credit courses through the University’s Office of Urban Affairs for students who have already done volunteer work through CAC or similar groups.

Part I deals with prison conditions and events leading to the rebellion. by Laura Bartlett Campus Editor Attica, New York is a quiet, semi-rural community where nothing much out of the ordinary ever happens. Its inhabitants say it’s a nice, peaceful place to settle down and raise a family, far from the hustle and turmoil of the cities. The only thing which sets it apart from countless other small communities in upstate New York is that its largest industry and employer is the Attica State Correctional Facility, whose presence the people of Attica have “learned to live with.” The misery of the thousands of inmates within its walls, the violence that has plagued them, and the substandard living conditions prevalent in the institution generally affect their lives very little. As for their feelings about the inmates, most regard them as aliens; violent, potentially dangerous beings who “deserve what they’re getting” in jail, according to Tom-Wicker in his book, A Time to Die. Overcrowding The awesome solidarity of the walls surrounding Attica prison conveyed a false sense of security to someone on the outside looking in during the summer of 1971. Anyone on the inside inmate, guard and administrator felt the tension brewing alike before the September long rebellion. The poor living conditions within the facility mainly stemmed from intense overcrowding. About 2250 men were crammed into an institution only designed to hold a maximum of about 1600. Prison guards expressed concern over this situation, as well as uneasiness over the “new” type of inmate at Attica. In 1971,51 percent of Attica’s inmate population was black, and 9 percent was Puerto Rican. 40 percent of the inmates were under 30 years of age, 70 percent had - been in jail before, and 62 percent were imprisoned for violent crimes Different Culture In addition, about 80 percent of the inmates were from New York, Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo. They were veterans of the ghetto, the drug culture, the urban streets, with political and social experiences totally alien to their overseers. Compounding this was the presence of “ringleaders” who had been transferred from other prisons after attempting to organize revolts. The presence of these veterans of the New York City Tombs and Auburn Prison uprisings also made the guards uneasy. There had never been a major revolt in Attica Prison. A dining hall demonstration was settled with tear gas in 1957, a brief “sit-in” in the same year and another in 1962 were put down with no major trouble. In 1970 there was a non-violent strike to protest commissary prices and metal shop wages, which in 1971, still averaged only about $.65 per day. Change of attitude But even more disquieting to the Attica guards and officials was the evident change in the attitude of the inmates. Previously, racial, religious, and ethnic tensions had been high among the inmates, creating divisions which practically cancelled out any hope for mass unity. But their were signs of increased understanding and communication between the Black Muslims, Black Panthers, Young Lords, Native Americans and white inmates. In any situation where one person or group seeks to dominate another, division among the dominated is always welcomed, and sometimes even fostered, by those above them. The guards.no doubt, liked seeing the inmates pitted against’ each other, diverting their frustrations and hatred to petty feuds and rivalries. George Jackson Memorial Glaring evidence of the absence of such division came on the day following the death of San Quentin inmate George Jackson. Most of the inmates refused to believe the official story that Degrees The deadlines for filing “Application for Degree” forms are October 17, 1975 if you expect to graduate in January, and February 27, 1976 if you expect to graduate in June, the office of Admissions and Records announced.

As a result, a “memorial” for the slain inmate was held on the morning of August 22 by the Attica prisoners. Over 800 inmates on the first breakfast shift appeared in the ditfing hall and sat silently, ominously, without touching their food. Each wore black somewhere on his clothing. Prison guards and officials knew that such a demonstration required leadership, and unity. The uneasiness grew. A fruitless exchange of correspondence between New York’s Commissioner of Correctional Facilities Russell Oswald and the “Attica Liberation Faction,” beginning with a petition demanding a number of prison reforms, left many inmates bitter. Having lost their faith after negotiating within “the system” during that hot, frustrating, summer, Oswald’s visit to Attica on September 2 proved to the “the last straw.” of inmate mail and begun night-vocational training for a limited number of inmates. He begged for time to institute such improvements as law libraries for the prisoners, better training for the guards, extended work release programs, and better vocational training. Empty promises He met with prison superintendent Vincent Mancusi and a prisoner representative, at which time he promised reforms were on the way. He claimed he had already loosened censorship Before hurrying away to his wife’s bedside, Oswald recorded a message for the prisoners which was broadcast over the prison communication system. Many felt insulted that he had not addressed them directly; ailing some smashed their headphones against the walls of their cells in rage. A week later, on September 8, Herbert Blyden one of the signers of the Liberation Faction wrote to Senator John petition Dunne, Chairperson of the New York Senate Committee on Crime and Correction, that “all we received were promises of — — change.” Too many promises not kept; too much frustration and unresolved rage. Later that day, Attica Prison erupted. The UUAB Music Committee announces its first meeting Friday afternoon Sept. 12 at 5 pm in Rm 261 Norton.

Women are seen gloating over newly-waxed floors, and gleaming with pride over freshly-laundered clothes. Housework is not a chore for these women, but a delightful task which they accept with joy. We see brides floundering around in laundry rooms and fumbling over pots, while the more experienced housewives hip them to the tricks of domestic life.

But the pity of it is that many of these girls will grow up trying to live up ter these roles, and will suddenly find that someone lied to them. Doing the laundry and cleaning the oven will turn out to be one big drag. Making oneself physically attractive will prove increasingly difficult after spending so much time doing housework. And for those children whose immediate lives contradict what the media presents to them as reality, the problems are that much greater. Masculine soap With so much attention focused on women, the masculine stereotype is often ignored. Many advertisements, however, depend On the public’s acceptance of traditional male roles. Strength, intelligence, and lack of emotional reaction characterize the male in the media. He is the provider, the protector and the guiding force behind the world. Beer advertisements are notorious for using these qualities to sell their product. Men are seen appreciatively gulping down a mug of beer with the fellows, after a hard day’s work or a good game of football. (The women get to test out the coffee.) Campbell soups has invented an entire line of soups for men: “The Manhandlers;” hearty, beefy, chunky soups, so masculine. Tobacco companies also prey upon the sexy loner wh©-can attract the demurest of /emales simply by offering her a Tiparillo. Men serve one more function in television and radio commercials, and that is to reconfirm and explain what the women demonstrate. They are the voice of expertise. Actors sit behind desks in white coats and the public, especially children, accept them as authority figures. They are what’s going on. Male announcers always have the final word, despite the nature of the product. Miss Suzy: helpless These are the ways in which the adult world is depicted to children. The schools too, aid the process of perpetuating such sexual myths. Most children’s books outdo the TV commercials when it comes to presenting the sexes.

Page nine �i Editorial Obligation not met With the high cost of living on campus nowadays, the Housing Office has a fundamental obligation to provide decent, clean facilities to all dormitory residents. But when 97 students, most of whom are freshmen and transfers, moved into the Spaulding Quadrangle in the Ellicott Complex two weeks ago, they found that this was not necessarily the case. Instead of well-maintained, modern, working facilities, they were greeted with broken showers, no telephones, empty laundry and vending machine rooms, no lounge furniture, inadequate lighting, and they were not greeted by Resident Advisors. Although Housing claims the students were notified in advance by mail that they would be placed in temporary space, it seems that the four summer months, during which time Ellicott was unoccupied, should have been adequate time for preparing rooms that were fit for living. And if the above-mentioned inconveniences aren't enough, the confusion and frustrations that always seem to accompany the first month of the fall semester will be further compounded for these students by a mass reshuffling of beds next week. We understand the problems Housing must encounter in making its transition to the Amherst Campus. However, there is really no excuse for locating students in living conditions they consider "deplorable" and Housing at least owes them a rebate on their dormitory expenses to compensate for the inconveniences they have suffered.

The Spectrum Vol. 26, No. 10 Wednesday, Editor-in-Chief — 10 September 1975 Amy Dunkin Guest Opinion by Buffalo Committee for Chilean Democracy The Chilean Junta’s economic problems have been accentuated recently by the difficulties it has had in renegotiating its foreign debt. Despite U:S. pressure, many European countries (led by England and Italy) have refused to discuss new terms with Chile until human rights in that country are respected. Chile has a foreign debt of $4 billion, which is the second highest per capita debt in the world. Without new loans, it cannot meet its interest payments. The economic disaster can be translated into human terms. While a handful of people are getting wealthy in Chile, most people are near starvation. In June the minimum wage was so low and prices so high that two pounds of bread cost one-third of a day’s minimum wage; two pounds of sugar cost 2/3, and one quart of cooking oil cost more than half. Over half of the Chilean salaried workers receive the minimum wage. Of course, in this situation there is a lot of discontent. The banned political parties of the Chilean left have organized a Resistance which carries out underground activities against the military. This Resistance, although still weak militarily, is politically strong. Even sections of the ruling class have begun to speak out against the military Junta. In May, the head of the Christian Democrats, Eduardo Frei, carne out publicly against the Junta. Frei was President of Chile from 1964-1970, and from 1970-1073 he led the Christian Democrats in opposition to Salvatore Allende, an opposition which was largely responsible for the coup. But the Junta refuses to bend to popular criticism. In August it came out with a ridiculous account and macabre to for the story disappearance of some of its prisoners. The Junta claimed that 1 19 prisoners were not prisoners at all but had been killed in Argentina in gun battles with the Argentinian police or with other Chilean leftists. This story was so ludicrous that it revoked an international outcry, and the Argentinian police denied any confrontation with Chileans. The newspapers which first published the story in Argentina and Brazil were soon revealed to be fake. The sad truth is that the Junta probably murdered all 119 prisoners and created Transport - Business Manager Arts Backpage Campus City Composition Bill Maraschiello Randi Schnur Ronnie Selk Laura Bartlett Howard Greenblatt Pat Quinlivan Alan Most Fredda Cohen Feature — Howard Koenig Feature .

Wednesday, 10 September 1975 which showed how Richard Nixon had been involved directly in attempts by the CIA to stop Allende. Only a few days after Allende’s election, Nixon met with Richard Helms, head of the CIA, John Mitchell. Attorney-General, and Henry Kissinger. Nixon, who was reportedly very upset, told Helms “to come up with some ideas” to get rid of Allende. Money, said Nixon, was no object. One idea put forward involved kidnapping the head of the Chilean Army, Rene Schneider, and blaming it on the extreme left. This would hopefully spark a military coup, they reasoned. Since Schneider and his neutrality would be out of the way, Schneider was kidnapped and resisted. The whole plot was was killed when exposed, and the Chilean right was shown to be behind it. ;The CIA had failed, but it kept on working financing anti-Allende strikes by store and truck owners to create enough chaos so the rest of the Chilean military would intervene. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence is looking into the Chile case, and have subpoened Nixon’s papers and tapes concerning Chile. So far the Ford administration has refused to turn them over, in yet a further cover-up of what actually happened in Chile. We are reminded of ~C1A Director Helms’ reply to Senator Stuart Symington on Feb. 7, 1974, under oath. Symington: “Did you try in the CIA to overthrow the government of Chile?” Helms: “No, sir.” Symington: “Did you have any money passed to the opponents of Allende?’, v/ Helms: “No, sir.” Justice Department is currently The considering perjury charges against Helms.

In the U.S. we have a special responsibility for the Chilean tragedy. We continue to learn more and more about CIA involvement in overthrowing Allende. Only a few weeks ago, in August, The New York Times published a story For the second year in a row, 1 would like to thank the meatheads at Campus Services for displaying a delightful sense of humor in designing our bus schedules. I’d also like to thank the people responsible for allocating the money for this year’s busing, since it is clearly inadequate. 1 realize now that it is far from obvious that if there are more people living at Ellicott this year, there are going to be more buses needed to get them to and from classes. Vet, if I can figure that out, you’d think the people who design the budget could. So, I’d like to know how they can justify adding only one bus to this year’s schedule, particularly when that bus runs from Ridge Lea to Amherst, a route which was not overcrowded last year. Even with the extra buses they’ve added for the morning rush hours, people are still packed in like sardines. And the only non-crowded bus I’ve been on all year was a Ridge Lea bus. Amherst buses are always full. Maybe soon someone will realize that more buses are necessary and add them to the schedule. My other complaint is about the times the buses leave on Saturday and Sunday nights. After leaving the Conference Theater on Saturday night, 1 checked the bus schedule to find that a bus had left at 11:15 p.m. The next bus after that was fifty-five minutes later. Then there was a bus five minutes after that. Now, what possible reason could they have for scheduling a fifty-five minute wait followed by a five minute wait? Did they want to give the drivers a chance to meet each other? They could have scheduled the buses thirty minutes apart like last year. J«Jot only was that easy to remember, but it made sense! I hope I Won’t have to write another letter like this next year. Maybe by then someone will have paid attention to all the complaints. Paige Miller �fronr here to ther by Garry Wills Mrs. Ford’s candor is being used against her husband. It is fascinating to watch the sophisticates of the right admit that she didn’t say anything wrong, exactly; she just abused her position to give aid and comfort to those who might say something wrong sometime. It is like the sophisticates’ tortuous use of Joseph McCarthy’s lies to get at people who were not Communists, exactly, but not good types nonetheless. Mrs. Ford said she would not be surprised if her daughter had an affair. She should not have been surprised, though, that people used this against her. According to Richard Reeves’ forthcoming book, A Ford. Not a Lincoln, even the servants of Walter Annenberg objected when one of Ford’s sons brought “a live-in girlfriend” to stay at the Annenberg mansion during Ford’s vice presidency. But Mrs. Ford’s comments are being used by those right-wingers who want some excuse any old to say that only Ronald Reagan deserves excuse “conservative” support in the 1976 election. If Ford broke off relations with Russia and China, put J. Edgar Hoover’s grotesque mummy on idolatrous display, and made John Wayne Secretary of State, these people would still have to conclude, with great sadness, that he was not a “real” conservative and he must be replaced by Reagan. The hypocrisy at work is not a pretty thing to see. Yet I cannot feel very sorry for Mr. Ford, remembering how he used the same pecksniffian devices in 1970. It is surprising that no one seems to - — have remembered, in the current gabble of vindictive piety, how upset Ford once got at the sight of naked breasts in copies of Avant-Garde and Evergreen Review He was under orders, at the time, to punish foes of the Haynesworth and Carswell nominations by instituting impeachment proceedings against Justice William O. Douglas. When his aides brought him copies of the Douglas articles in Avant-Garde and Evergreen Review Ford discovered, to his horror, that the magazines also contained an article called “The Decline and Fall of the Female Breast.” After his aides revived-him, by the liberal use of smelling salts and hymn books, he felt it a duty to show everyone what “feelthy” pictures Justice Douglas’ prose had been put to bed with. In the Senate speech that Ford cribbed from notes sent to him by John Mitchell, he said that the words in these magazines were even worse, if you can imagine it, than the pictures. The pictures, admittedly, “are perhaps more shocking than the postcards that used to be sold only in the back alleys of Paris and of Panama City, Panama.” But the mere titles of the articles are “so vulgarly playing on double meaning that I will not repeat them aloud.” That smutty stuff sure is contagious. In no time Ford was wondering, in his speech, why the magazine was called Evergreen: “Perhaps the name has some secret erotic significance.” There is nothing so shockable as a demagogue in full cry. So as the Pecksniffs circle in on him and Mrs. Ford, I wonder if he ever reflects that this is the very thing he did to Justice Douglas. , Single RA Is in double rooms To the Editor. Housing has been one of the major problems for University students during the last two years. Off-campus housing costs at least as much as the I hate to hitchhike To the Editor I’m a Western New Yorker who lived in New York City over the summer. I’m also a non-driver and New York, unlike Buffalo, is a community that has consideration for people like me. The buses ran every three or four minutes in Manhattan and if that wasn’t fast enough, the subway could get you to your destination even quicker. Back here in Buffalo, the buses run on the main avenues every half hour during the day. At night they simply don’t run. The only alternative is to hitchhike. One thing Western New York does have is plenty of private passenger cars. Thousands and thousands of them. x aot I I sincerely hope that Metro will attempt to make bus runs much more frequent, that Metro will extend runs to the evening hours, and that Metro will again make it possible to take a bus to the suburbs as well as to downtown, A rapidly expanded service may lose a great deal of money at the present time, but the price of gas has only one way to go and as soon as it hits a dollar a gallon even the die-hard motor heads of Western New York might condescend to sit next to other human beings on the way to work and school. It’s really not that difficult to get used to. residential halls. Therefore more and more students are switching to campus accommodations, but due to the insufficient number of rooms available on the campus, there is a tremendous number of students that actually cannot find any place to stay! Moral: For what reason do the (Resident Assistants) have a double room? I hope that some action will be taken! “RA’s” Herman L.

Contracts have already been signed with writer Elie Weisel (co-sponsored with the Jewish Student Union) for September 25; humorist and author Dick Gregory (co-sponsored with the Black Student Union) for October 2; and Michael Meeropol, son of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg (eo-sponsored with American Studies) for December commentator, , What would you do to give this campus a sense of community? Do you know that there is an organization that would welcome your suggestions on improving this community and would try to implement them? Do you know that there is a group that cares about you, you as a person who has you as who you are and as who you want to be. Indeed, worth, beauty, tapped and untapped potentials this group does not desire to convert you, but serve you, challenge you, search with you, rejoice with in short, to love you and be loved by you. We at Wesley Foundation have tried you, share your sorrows to get this message acorss to you in many ways, and with some success. But there are many of you who have not heard, or have been suspicious about what you heard, or have just not believed what you heard. Several people have asked, “What is Wesley Foundation?” Wesley Foundation is a campus ministry we are attempting to provide a sense of belonging. And we think whose main concern is community every person most wants an environment where he/she feels he/she belongs; that is his/her that community person also achieves community. A partially within the self, by actualizing his/her potential We believe Wesley Foundation can be that kind of community for you. While we are sponsored by the United Methodist Church we are open to anyone. We intend our ministry to be in loving service to, with, meeting needs, sharing joy, discussing life goals and ideas, searching for a life style that and for people builds bridges instead of walls, that enables love instead of war, that enables growth. We do not always succeed we most definitely make mistakes. But most of those who have been around us belieye our You Gotta Friendi That may sound corny, but just think about how important your friends are slogan - — — — 3. - - — — to you. To keep this community alive we have each week a free supper on Sundays at 6:00 p.m. (the place is noted on the Backpage of each Friday’s The Spectrum.) Some people have wondered why more of you have not eaten at these free meals; and others have suggested you do not want something for nothing; and we do have free suppers. And, others probably think there is some “catch.” Well, there is no “catch” week to help feed the world's hungry. We do those who want to pay can donate whatever they wish each but we wash dishes between supper and the program so that those who have programs after supper want to leave can do so without any pressure to stay. The programs vary from discussion on music, film discussions, issue discussions, “group process” sessions, a game night with volleyball and others. We also have worship once a month for those who want it. We are always open to suggestions for other programs. For those who want regular worship services we will be glad to suggest the church that is closest to real study and you. If you want services on campus please call 634-7129. There will be a Bible study to place and be announced. open discussion, not Bible agreement passed off as study time There will also be special events.

Stone and Congresswoman Bella Abzug are presently negotiating contracts with Speakers Bureau Chairman Robby Cohen fot appearances in October. As part of a major overhaul of a Speakers Bureau program that was often swamped in controversy last year, Cohen has attempted to combine “education and entertainment.” By purposely avoiding bringing any so-called, expensive “big-name” personalities to campus, Cohen has managed to engage speakers costing significantly less than S2000 each and who “have something important to say and will make people think.” Cohen planned much of this program during the summer with the help of a six-member committee and various student organizations. However, he encourages additional suggestions from any interested students. “I don’t want to make the decisions by myself,” he declared. — Chile memorial The Buffalo Committee for Chilean Democracy is sponsoring a demonstration Thursday, September 11, the second anniversary of the coup that toppled the Popular Unity government of Chile, headed by Salvadore Allende. A picket-line will be held at The Mentholatum Co., 1360 Niagara St., to protest its recent investments in Chile. On Friday, September 12, at 8 p.m. in Diefendorf 146, Attorney Jose Antonio Lugo will present his eye-witness account of the April trial of 13 Chilean Resistance leaders. A film about Victor Jara, the popular Chilean folksinger who was murdered after the coup, will also be shown. The local committee also hopes to bring Laura Allende, sister of Salvadore Allende, if the State Department grants her a visa. A fdm about a Chilean Prison camp will be shown in the Conference Theatre on Thursday, September 16 at 7:30 p.m. The film was made by East Germans posing as West Germans to gain entry to the camp. — — — — — — - - "Put a little sunshine into your {Top Spin Racquet Shoppe J entitles This coupon | I you to ■ 15% DISCOUNT ON ALL RACQUETS, CLOTHES, AND ATHLETIC SHOES $2.35 For Wilson or Dunlop Tennis Balls (Limit - 1 I I of 3 cans per student) 520 Amherst St. I 674- 6488 (Between Elmwood and Grant) Offer expires Oct. 1, 1975 !

Ketter insisted that the facilities are designed for the use by students and staff of the University, and not to compete with area businesses. “The University could build whatever we wanted by ourselves, and Amherst couldn’t tax us one cent,” Ketter declared. “We just wanted this bill (permitting tax-free status) because we could build the facilities faster if we had private builders and developers doing it.” The bill was written for the State University and members of Governor Carey’s staff by attorneys, and given to McFarland and Fremming to sponsor in of Amherst... With the possible exception of the hotel, all the facilities will serve only those who live and work on the campus, and, therefore, will not need large attention grabbing signs which can be seen from roads near campus. Traffic problems cited Part of the original intention of the commercial development was to provide services to people on the campus, which would hopefully ameliorate traffic problems caused by people otherwise seeking these services off campus. The planned 150 room hotel, the only facility intended for use by people outside the University community, will have 20.000 square feet of office space, facilities for a faculty-alumni club, and possibly 20.000 square feet of student activity space. Latona cautions that, given the financial position of the University, this last figure is subject to a great deal of a large development competing other businesses —continued from page 1— change Asked about the prospects of student employment in the planned commercial facilities, Latona said that any stipulation calling for employment of students were impractical because of the number of limits imposed on the businesses which will occupy them. But Latona was “sure the largest percentage of employees would be students” if only because students are the most readily available work force in the area. Ketter adamant Latona said he had consulted with Student Association (SA) President Michele Smith and SA Director of Student Activities Doug Cohen on student employment and other issues. The clash between President Robert Ketter and the Amherst Town Council began when merchants and town officials reportedly became upset over the prospect their respective legislative houses. Bill recalled McFarland recalled the bill after with representatives of the Town of Amherst who charged the bill was being “rammed” through because they were certain to oppose it. Town board members also complained they were not consulted by state or SUNY officials while consulting the legislation was being prepared, charges which Latona characterized as “garbage,” McFarland eventually agreed to amend the bill to guarantee the town payments instead of taxation and limitations on how much retail, office, and hotel space could be set aside on the campus. He also agreed to the present size and location of the hotel. Latona explained that the idea for commercial development dates back almost to the initial plans for the new campus. When it was thought that the University would be able to generate vast economic activity in Amherst, the Urban Development Corporation’s (UDC) Audubon project made plans for extensive development around Lake LaSalle. At that time, even company offices and additional housing for employees was anticipated. Since then, Latona added, the University recognized that its ability to spur commercial development was limited, and, in 1973, the University and UDC jointly commissioned a study of commercial development just for the Amherst campus.

He owns the school record for the 100 yard dash and the long jump. Last year he scored 13.75 points in the Buffalo Invitational and 13 points in the New York State Track and Field Championships, enough to earn him the Coaches’ Trophy for most points at both meets. Stephens also competes regularly in both the 220 yard dash and the triple jump. In fact, last year he swept all four of his events at the Big Four meet against Niagara, Canisius, and Buffalo State and at the New York State Track and Field Championships. Sponsored by the Council on International Studies -Santos Faddoul, Stephens Young paced the wrestling Bulls to another year of national prominence. Off the mats, Young was an outspoken supporter of intercollegiate athletics and was named president Young second Second in the balloting for of the fledgling organization Athlete of the Year was wrestler Students for the Future of and soccer player Jim Young.

Tennis Bulls Strong team set for successful season by Paige Miller Assistant 3:00 pm Room 320 Fillmore/ North Campus tournament. Young holds Buffalo career records for goals scored and total points, and he also put together an amazing string of ten consecutive games with one or more goals over a two year span. As a wrestler, Young was undefeated in dual meets during the 1974-75 season. With help Shorts Editor “I think we’ve got one of the strongest teams in Western New York. That’s not bad for a school with no scholarships,” said Bulls’ tennis coach Pat McClain after his team opened its season on Saturday by thrashing Cortland 8-1. Last year, McClain’s first as coach, Buffalo compiled an 11-3 record (counting both fall and spring competition). McClain had never coached a collegiate team before, but did have experience as a tennis professional at the Buffalo Tennis Center, a job he still holds. Virtually all of last year’s team is back, with the exception of Keith Karger, who did not return to school this year. But McClain’s job will be far from easy, because the Bulls have scheduled thirteen matches in their five week season, more than they have ever played before. Running wild “Our top four are in very good shape,” said McClain. “The rest have the strokes down but still need conditioning.” Toward that end he has players doing wind sprints and running two miles at each practice, but mostly, he just lets them play tennis. If the first match is any indication, this policy has paid off well. Buffalo did not lose more than three games in any singles set, although the overwhelming nature of Saturday’s victory did come as a bit of a surprise. “They (Cortland) hit the ball really well in practice,” said Buffalo’s Rob Gurbacki. “I don’t know what happened to them.” Burbacki won his match 6-1, 6-0. Most of the other Bulls thought the match would be tougher than it was. Buffalo’s only loss of the day was suffered by the third doubles team of A1 Boardman and A1 Syracuse. McClain later noted that he was still experimenting to find the right combination and the right man for sixth singles, although Steve Blumberg won easily at that spot. What a pair The Bulls’ coach has found the right men for his first doubles pair. Rich Abbott and Randy Murphy. The two played together in local tournaments all summer and reached at least the quarter-finals in every tournament they entered. They are currently one of the top seeded doubles teams in Western New York. Abbott and Murphy had no trouble with Cortland’s best doubles team, winning 6-1,6-2. Despite Buffalo’s fine performance, McClain was still apprehensive about this Saturday’s match against Oneonta. “They might be the toughest team we’ll face all year,” he said. It will be the first meeting ever between the two teams. Today’s match against Buffalo State has been cancelled because the Bengals do not have a team. Wednesday, 10 September 1975 . The Spectrum .

ADVERTISEMENT * MORE 4 JOBS? THERE ISA WAY Nine year# ago near Lexing- ton, N.C., PPG Industries converted a 150-acre farm into a sleek new factory. Today that factory employs more than 1000 people and produces 140 million pounds of glass fibers a year for everything from draperies to lightweight automobile body parts. On Michigan’s Escanaba River, wood pulp is fed into one end of a new Mead Corp. papermaking machine that almost fills a building a quarter of a mile long. At the other end emerges a band of paper 25 feet wide. Up to 600 workers harvest the wood for this plant, while 1 too make the paper —annually enough paper to cover a i6-lane highway around the earth at the equator. At New Johnsonville, Tenn., DuPont built a plant to produce titanium dioxide, the safe whitener that has replaced lead in paint and is used in scores of other products including paper and textiles. The year it opened, the plant provided jobs for more than 300 local residents. Now, nearly three times that number are on the payrolls which ran about $14 million last year. These three factories are the result of what economists call capital investment. Their cost adds up to a huge sum —approximately $250 million. Each was financed with retained earnings (the funds that industry has left after paying all the costs of doing business, including taxes and dividends to stockholders), — • • — REPRINTED FROM THE AUGUST or borrowed funds, or both Such capital investment is what our forefathers called “thinking ahead.” When we still lived on farms or in villages, no one but a fool would consume all his garden, herds and flocks. A smart man kept something for breeding stock and seed. But for some years now our coun try has lived as if this commonsetise wisdom applied to everybody except us. Between i960 and 1973 we reinvested an average of 13.6 percent of our real gross domestic product in new plants and equipment, compared with 18.2 percent in France, 20 percent in Germany and 29 per- in Japan. Some 60 to 70 percent of our existing manufacturing capacity has been installed since i960, versus 85 percent of Japan’s. While our government was increasing demand by incurring deficits and voting new money payments to our people, we ran our old, less-efficient factories above their proper operating level. Nat- cent urally, this caused costs and prices spiral. If we arc to pull out of this recession and avoid worse ones, we must begin now to invest much more in job-creating plants and equipment. But how? Most economists believe to one solution lies in substantially increasing the investment tax credit, which allows an industry to deduct from its federal income tax a percentage of the cost of new assets and equipment (not including build- 1975 ISSUE OF READER'S DIGEST Page eighteen . The Spectrum . Wednesday, 10 September 1975 With today’s unemployment and with millions of young people getting ready to enter the job market, we must make it possible for companies to invest far more of what they , earn today so that they can produce more tomorrow ings). Congress recently raised the credit from seven to ten percent. Respected economist Pierre Rinfret believes that we should permanently enact a 20-percent federal investment tax credit. This would put us on a par with most of our major foreign industrial competitors. More liberal depreciation allowances would also help. Present tax laws assume useful lives for buildings and equipment during which companies stretch out tax deductions for their cost. But the assumed lives often exceed the period of years when the buildings and equipment arc truly competitive. Thus, business frequently finds itself still trying to recover original cost for buildings and equipment which progress has rendered obsolete. To raise the level of capital investment and create jobs we must also change popular attitudes. Too often when a new factory or power plant is proposed, our response has been “Don’t put it here.” Nobody can quarrel with the need for informed concern for the environment, but nobody can quarrel, either, with the need for jobs. Consider the exhilarating benefits of capital investment in that PPG Industries plant in Lexington, N.C.: Horace Hill, 36, was born on a tobacco farm, had to quit school after the ninth grade, spent three years in the Air Force, got a low-paying mill job. Then PPG hired him and trained him to make and repair the $5000 platinum nozzles from which the molten glass is spun. He now heads a work force of ten. Carolyn Blevins, now 25, was working in the spraying department of a furniture factory when she got the chance to go to PPG as an “end finder,” a highly skilled job which involves finding thread ends which arc then twisted onto bobbins. ‘Tve worked lots of places where they let a woman do a man’s job—but they don’t pay you for it,” she says. “At PPG everybody’s treated the same.” Charles Clark, also 25, the son of a common laborer, is one of four men who oversee PPG’s huge glass furnaces. Eight years ago he was • • • to graduate from the black high school befor? Lexington desegregated all its schools. Today, Clark directs a staff of 40. The benefits from PPG are felt elsewhere. Surrounding factories and mills found they had to raise their pay scales to compete. For a while, labor was so scarce that Lexington came close to zero unemployment. According to U.S. Department of Commerce figures, the $10 million PPG paid last year in wages was spent by employes approximately like this: $1.8 million for food; $1.6 million for housing and household operation: $800,000 for clothing; $1.9 million for transportation, recreation and education; $1.9 million for taxes and Social Security; $600,000 for medical care; $200,000 for interest; and j million for evocytbing else, including savings. Beyond this, there’s a multiplier effect that operates whenever a new plant comes to town. By Bureau of Labor Statistics calculations, each job in manufacturing makes possible three other jobs. So when PPG’s Lexington roster last year passed the 1000 mark, the employes were supporting 3000 other workers, from bus drivers to doctors. Lexington can be proud of the new PPG plant. The low, central redbrick building, flanked by blue and white tent-like wings, is handsome architecturally, and inside, no woman keeps her kitchen looking nicer. If the United States is to regain its pre-eminence in the highly competitive industrial world and produce what we need with reasonably full employment and stable prices, thousands of new factories like this one will have to become solid lifegiving realities. Thus, it is vital that we allow American industry to recover the costs of new investment much more rapidly than is now possible. Only then will industry have the means to keep our economy prosperously expanding. among the last For reprints, write: Reprint Editor, The Reader's Digest, Plcasantville, N.Y. 10570.

In accordance with a legal interpretation by the SUNY Counsel, Executive Vice President Albert Somit informed the College that several courses which for “women provide only” enrollment violate HEW Title IX guidelines and/or the New York State Human Rights Law. Title IX, which went into effect on 1975, July 21, elucidates 1972 anti-sex a discrimination law which assures that no person be excluded from participation in any course or educational program on the basis of sex. Somit explained that unless WSC allows men access to five all-women traditionally including courses, the Women in introductory Contemporary Society (WSC 213), they will “simply be barred” from the University course offerings in January, 1976. Deadline changed The original deadline for compliance with Somit’s directive was August 15. However, this elicited a wave of protest by WSC The supporters, including President’s Committee on the Recruitment and Promotion of Women, American Studies, the Student Association, and large numbers of students and community members, who felt the summer date was politically calculated and did not allow for a fair or adequate defense of the Women’s Studies program. Somit said he moved the date up to October 15 since students had already registered last spring for fall semester WSC courses. Outraged at what they called a “blatant political attack with neither moral, educational or legal justification,” members of the Women’s Studies College maintained an in August newsletter that Title IX regulations were designed to “redress ingrained institutional discrimination against women,” and to establish affirmative action programs. with our “In accord to quality committment education for women and in our active concern with the elimination of discrimination against women. Women's Studies College can be viewed as a vital affirmative action program for women. Our program conforms with the spirit and letter of the law,” the newsletter states. Collegiate units, on the condition that it be revised to indicate whether “woman” and “women” are used as generic or exclusive terms, and that it expressly adopt the principles of academic freedom and equality of access to courses, demonstrate complaince with these provisions, and be reviewed 18 formally after months. Educationally valid In a statement issued January 3, 1974, Ketter conceded that there might be a need for a few courses restricted to women, but that they “should constitute a very small percentage of the total offerings of that unit.” He added that “the exclusion is clearly and directly related to the educational objectives of the course.” A spokesperson for Women’s Studies College said Friday that all WSC courses met the provisions of the charter, were Affirmative action The newsletter goes on to say granted approval bv the Division that the University has been of Undergraduate Education and “incredibly lax both in developing were proven educationally valid.

Day care center closed indefinitely because o cuts by Fredda-Cohen Feature Editor The Early Childhood Center (ECC), formerly the University Day Care Center, will remain closed indefinitedly despite hopes that it would reopen this fall. The center, which closed temporarily for the summer on May 16, is now permanently shut down, due to a $2.8 million dollar cut in the University budget, according to Executive Vice President Albert Somit. In a letter from William Baumer, assistant vice president for Academic Affairs dated June 12. parents were informed that the university pursued all possible alternatives for funding the center but without success. “If is as a consequence of these investigations that we have delayed providing this notice to you until this time,” the letter stated. “I hope that you will be able to make other arrangements for day care for your children while you pursue your studies,” Dr. Baumer added. However, no alternatives were mentioned. The lack of funds ends ECC's year-long struggle to exist. The original Day Care Center was first threatened last year when Sub-Board voted to eliminate its S23.000 allocation to compensate for its own reduced appropriations from the student governments. Special Committee Responding to appeals from day care supporters for S29.000 from the University, President Robert Ketter set up a twenty-two member —continued on page 19— —Santos �Commentary Shake-up in South Buffalo This South Keane people counter that 150 of Fire their signs have been ripped off has City Editor Depaitment Lieutenant William houses, but Conrad contends that In the future, when people Conrad challenging the Chairman the signs were removed by irate look back at this year’s local the County Legislature, homeowners, who objected to the elections, they may well refer to of machine’s arm-twisting party Richard Keane. 1975 as “The Year of the Conrad has been attacking the tactics.

University to absorb over $4 million in budget cats by Howard Greenblatt Campus editor The University will have to absorb nearly S4 million in budget cuts over the next two fiscal years. Details of how these cuts will be distributed were by University summer announced this administrators. Savings of S2.S35.000 for the current fiscal year, which began in July, were mandated by the Slate government earlier this year, bringing the total University expenditure ceiling to S82.895.600. The State's decision to slash the SUNY budget, which President Robert Ketter said "will have a serious impact on this campus." led to the formation of a University Budget Committee, comprised predominately of administrators, faculty, and several students. The Committee began meeting on almost a daily basis in Mid-June. Double role The Committee recommended to the President ways in which a “target dollar increase” of approximately $1.6 million (as a result of an enrollment increase of 595 students this year) “can most profitably be used to further the objectives of our institution.” Secondly, the Committee advised how the budget cuts for 1975-76, and 1976-77 (which will be at least $1,150,000, and perhaps and additional $750,000) will be absorbed. While the Committee’s proceedings were to have remained “strictly confidential,” informed sources from time to time made public only significant events. Serious effect Details of the 1975-76 budget cuts were announced by Executive Vice President Albert Somit on July 8. “Reductions were made primarily by the use of vacant lines, by the freezing of almost all new appointments, and by cutting allocations of temporary service and other-than-personal servjce funds,” Somit said in an open letter to the University Community. The 1976-77 budget cuts of at least $1,150,000 “will affect the Oniversity more severely in human terms,” Somit said, adding that “it would be impossible to absorb the cuts without program or —Santos Charles Fogel unit retrenchment.” Details of the 1976-77 cuts were then released in mid-July, but the “official” breakdown indicated only how much money each department would have to save, and not how they would actually save it. Coaching salary mess Actording to the Budget Committee’s proposals, the Faculty of Health Sciences, which funds the teaching and coaching salaries of the Department of Health Education, is slated to assume a $228,000 share of the total budget cuts. In order to partially absorb this cut, the Faculty of Health Sciences proposes to abandon its salary committments to athletic coaches in the field of Health Education, The Spectrum learned July 11.

Rhodes, former Kent State University President Robert I. White, and former National Guardsmen liable in the shooting at Kent State, in which four students were slain and nine wounded.

"He's still a murderer," cried Thomas Grace, one of the wounded students. It was not clear if he was referring to Rhodes or to one of the Guardsmen. Outside the courthouse. Defense Attorney Burt Fulton explained he felt “the Guardsmen just stood up there and told their story and the jury just believed them.” Attorneys for the prosecution told the jury the shooting was "an unprovoked and unwarranted action.” which deprived the students of their human and constitutional rights. The guardsmen claimed they were carrying out their proper duties on the campus and that firing into the crowd of demonstrators was an act of self defense.

Monday, 8 September 1975 �Bayh withdraws his support of Senate bill by Mike McGuire Contributing editor A proposed recodification of the federal criminal statutes, which has drawn heavy criticism from civil liberties groups for its allegedly repressive aspects, lost one of its original sponsors last week when Senator Birch Bayh asked his name be dropped from the bill. Bayh, a Democrat from Indiana and past Presidential hopeful, added that he would actively oppose Senate Bill 1 (S-l) if 11 different amendments he has .proposed are not included in the final version. While dealing with several areas of civil liberties, Bayh’s proposed amendments deal primarily with the secrecy provisions of the bill. Under the original version of the bill, which is still subject to change by the Judiciary Committee of the Senate or that Committee’s subcommittee on Criminal Codes and Procedures, disclosure of classified material to unauthorized persons can result in a jail term of three years and a $100,000 fine to the federal employee who releases the information. In addition, any reporter and/or editor printing the information is subject to the same penalty. Leaks An aide to Bayh told The Spectrum that one of Bayh’s proposed amendments attempts to differentiate between giving national security information to a foreign, perhaps hostile, power, and “leaking” embarassing information to nrespapers, as was done by Daniel Ellsberg in 1972’s Pentagon Papers case. Under Bayh’s amendment, military codes and ciphers, plans for actual military operations, information on weapons systems, and nuclear data would be protected from dissemination by criminal penalties. Improperly classified material that may be embarassing, but is not related to Rational security matters would not be subject to the same penalties for disclosure, according to the aide. In a statement issued last week announcing his withdrawal as a sponsir, Bayh said that “S-l is viewed by many as a symbol of repression,” and adopted that he was mistaken in his belief that he could change its objectionable aspects by being a sponsor.

Called an Alcohol Level Evaluation Road Tester (ALERT), the device can be carried in a patrol car and employed immediately upon an officer’s request to pull over to the curb. It is rectangular in shape and activated when a suspected drunken driver breathes into a nozzle at one end. One of three lights can be activated, according to the alcohol level in the subject’s system. A red light fails the driver, a yellow indicates warning and white light means he passes. If a suspect’s breath causes the red light to activate, he will be taken to a police station for the usual test. If the yellow light is activated, the suspect could be taken in, but that is up to the discretion of the police officer. - ask for a commuter. buffalo President Ford Not assassinated An attempted assassination of Gerald Ford in President Sacramento, California was aborted on Friday when Secret Service agents grabbed the gun from the suspect’s hand and wrestled her to the ground. Lynette Alice Fromme was charged with attempted murder of the President, a federal crime which carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment, and is being held in the Sacramento jail. According to White House Press Secretary Ron Nessen, who was beside the President at the attempted moment of the assassination, a 'woman’s hand holding a gun appeared between two people in the crowd lining the sidewalk to shake hands with the President. Agent Larry Bruendorf, walking just behind Ford, who was at arms length from Fromme, grabbed the gun with his right hand and simultaneously grabbed the woman’s arm with his left hand. The President, unharmed but shaken, was escorted from the scene by Secret Service agents, who hurried him to the California State Capifol Uncertainty over click No one could say whether the gun clicked or whether Ms. Fromme had tried to pull the trigger but a witness to the incident said there was no audible click.

With fair year dubious editorial leadership has once again frequency, it will also be noted that what is going on Insensitive edict Since the inception of the Women's Studies College (WSC) five years ago, members of the College have encountered what appears to be an endless array of administrative stumbling blocks in their attempts to design an equitable program suited to the needs of women on this campus. Last fall, Women's Studies, along with every other existing Collegiate Unit, underwent an exhaustive scrutiny to a charter. Thanks obtain coveted administrative approval to the overwhelming support of hundreds of people sympathetic to the women's viewpoint, President Robert Ketter granted WSC a charter on the condition that it comply with certain provisions. It was also expressly stated that the College be reviewed formally for compliance after 18 months. The selective inclusion of several all-women courses was an integral part of the WSC curriculum then, as they are now. Ketter even conceded that such courses might be valid if academically justified. — Since January, Women's Studies College has met the conditions set forth in the charter. In addition to indicating with asterisks when the terms "woman" and "women" were used generically or specifically, all WSC courses received approval from the Division of Undergraduate Education resurrected something which probably should have died a normal death in the deep recesses of the dim past. Those of you confronting this creation for the first time may be confused and find the contents of this particular corner difficult to understand. Rest assured that you are no less confused than several generations of students, and the author, at least a fair portion of the time. What you see befory you, alas, is a tradition. Somewhere in the great library ■ of defunct magazines in the have heard of a l/t i- f) sky, you may short lived publication called Grump edited by Roger Price, a gentleman some of you trivia folk may recall as being the creator and chief practicioneer by Steese of Droodles, a somewhat arcane art form consisting of visual puns, so te speak. Anyway, the motto of Gruptp was something along the lines of “For People Who Are Against All The Dumb Things That Are Going On,” and the idea was for folks to write in about the things that they saw as being particularly stupid. It seems hard to understand why such an exceptionally fine idea should fail, but perhaps it was just too far ahead of its time. When I first began writing this concotion for The Spectrum I was considerably angrier than 1 am now or at least it was more manifest. Back then the fact that people could do things as willfully destructive to each other as we are capable of, in emotional and/or physical terms made me angry in a way that I never bothered to examine. Over the course of the years I have attained a few minor my Such as my anger. into insights from I paranoia. figure conies radicalism/liberalism that if there is any way that somebody is going to gel fucked over, 1 may well be next in line, and I want that abuse done away with before they get to , , Gl/vlX . (3 ... (DUE). But now the administration has formulated yet another condition. This summer. Executive Vice President Albert Somit (speaking for the President's office) presented Women's Studies College with an ultimatum either permit men access to traditionally all-women classes or face the fact that they will not be offered again in the spring. The deadline for compliance was changed from August 15 to October 15 so as not to affect those students who pre-registered last spring. — This series of events has brought a number of important issues to light, including the fact that the administration's attitude towards WSC has been arbitrary and insensitive. In the absence of any formal grievance, and basing its position on one informal legal opinion, the President's office seeks to eliminate a vital part of the WSC program. Additionally, the administration has not lived up to its end of the original if courses like Women in Contemporary agreement Society do, in fact, violate Title IX guidelines, the appropriate place for exploring their legality should be during the 18 month review mandated by the President in his acceptance of the charter last January. The action taken here has been unnecessarily hasty and does not allow adequate time for a thorough defense by WSC. As was stated in an August 7 letter form the President's Committee on the a lack Recruitment and Promotion of Women, "There is of urgency under Title IX which, in the event of an unfavorable ruling, allows ample time for compliance with no loss of funds if the University abides by the decision." — in the real world has relatively little to do with whai appears here, since what goes on in my head takes precedent, and that frequently has less than a one to one correspondence with anybody elses reality. I mean the great Betty Ford Flap is ancient history, so outside of suggesting that she should be running rather than him, there isn’t a great deal to say, but when that was alive and flowing the magic fingers could have produced reams on the subject.

President is above all that, and all that. all of Since this is a family newspaper Which refrain from developing this its budget I shall further. But only with great delicate subject apy strength of character. Politics would be a great source of material for this column, if there were any. Gerald has already told us he is out to protect us from Big Government. Which, the last time I noticed, was the only thing that was even remotely the size of Big Business. And somehow 1 find it hard to trust in the tender mercies of GM and Standard Oil. So while Gerald carries forward the banner of business for the Republicans, the Democrats are preparing. What it is they are preparing, who is in charge of the kitchen, and whether it will be any more palatable than the simplistic mutterings of George Meany, only time will tell. The prospects ain’t what you’d call wonderful from where I sit. My major political hope for next year is a chance to retire William Buckley’s favorite senator or at least I assume that blood and reactionary politics are thicker than water. So this is what several years of the State University of New York at Buffalo can do for your head. The suggestion that this column is maintained over the years to increase The Spectrum staff recruitment . .. “see, you don’t really have to know how to write, spell, or punctuate . . . our copy staff is beneath recognition, will do it all for you!” and will not be further commented on except to issue a categorical denial. (1 have been reading Kissinger speeches again, sorry.) (It should also be noted (parenthetically) that I think parentheses are wonderful.) My experience with reading my own material is that if I read it slowly and carefully and draw lines in different colored pencil from the modified noun just before the previous set of parentheses it either makes sense, or looks like an impressionist painting of some school or other.

Finally, if the University is so adamant about enforcing Title IX, it has no right to single out Women's Studies without taking a thorough look'ata// the departments.

To the Editor. As we are sure most students have noticed, the bus service between campuses is rather strained at this time. This is the result of SUNY budget cuts, and of the subsequent effects on the busing allocation. Therefore, here are a few pointers to make your bus trips more comfortable and more bearable. I) Don’t take the bus just before your class. Instead take one a half-hour earlier. 2) Plan on bis back-ups in Buffalo traffic during rush hours. This can add about 10-15 minutes to the duration of your trip. 3) Don’t drive take the bus. Giant back-ups can be caused by people using their cars between campuses. If you ride the bus, there will be less traffic on the roads, and buses will make the round-trip faster. This allows more people to ride. 4) Move to the rear of the bus and stay behind the white line. This makes more room for fellow students, and allows the driver to see traffic coming at the bus from side streets. 5) Please stay on the sidewalks at the bus stop. This will eliminate confusion and assure that no one is injured accidentally while standing in the road. Campus Services, which runs the buses, is spending more money for extra buses, and there is now enough room to carry everyone who wishes to ride. However, your cooperation is still needed in order to best serve the student body. This can happen if you follow the points above. A little though and consideration will help you and your fellow students get to and from classes with greater ease. — Men have never been discouraged from participating in the Women's Studies College. Past experience has shown College members, however, that the presence of men in certain classes inhibits or diverts the discussions and ultimately destroys the objectives of the particular course. Some people do not agree with that reasoning. But whether they do or not, the University must be sensitive in dealing with a program designed to promote the education of women. By selectively invoking Title IX at its whim and using it to drastically alter the Women's Studies program, the administration has proven that it has fallen far short of that mark. Page twelve.

Squirrel �m Bmui fiSP MV IP6M / T»F mi WOMAU frorr here to ther by Garry Wills There is very good reason for misgivings about the new Mideast settlement. It pins everything on Egypt. Egypt is not all of the Arab world it is marginally “Arab" in the eyes of many of its sister countries. And Egypt is not oil-rich, like some of those nations. In effect, we have agreed to buy peace on both sides by supplanting Russia as Egypt's principal patron, and by upping our ante as Israel's - - patron. L-\ i Does that automatically throw all the regions' other countries together as putative Russian clients in American clothes? Perhaps. Already Jordan has shifted off from Israel and toward Syria. It is not only an expensive deal, but a dangerous one. It will be used to prevent the most important settlement of all, that with the Palestinians; and it will strengthen those blocking that settlement, the Oriental Jews of Israel. a I think it is a bad deal. Still, Secretary Kissinger has precluded other deals by his maneuvering; so we are presented with a cruel choice this deal, or no deal. It will be this deal. Once that is said. I find no merit in the arguments most often used the settlement. Each concentrates on the stationing of civilian Americans at the Sinai observation post. We are told that such an act commits us to Israel. But we were already committed. After all, in the last war we went on world-wide nuclear alert was that no commitment? It is better, for us and for others, to have a commitment spelled out and given a vivid symbol. Call the civilians stationed there “hostages" if you will; they are hostages to reality, and no one should resent being bound to that. against eor ■SOM6C7AV hm'HVTpT «rn I—| (PEAL /Jfcrftt «io /vtfi > / Xs / l C This • n »I mwuv, n> the Pentagon. the CIA. big LIS. hanks, big corporations and large international banks controlled by the U.S. 1I Big banks like Chase Manhattan and Morgan Trust have loaned money to the Chilean Junta and the Pentagon makes sure that private 'arms manufacturers, like Cessna and Northrup, sell planes to the Chilean military, circumventing the intent of the Congressional-arms cut-off Gerald Ford defends the Junta and the CIA for having overthrown Allende, and corporations like General Motors invest in Chile while laying off workers at home. Economic aid is important to underdeveloped countries, but is granted for political as well as economic reasons. The U.S. government led a credit boycott of the Allende government, but has given hundreds of millions of dollars to the Junta. But it hasn’t been enough. The Chilean military preside ovei an economy which is in a disastrous depression Industrial production dropped 15 percent last year, and this year looks worse. Chile's only steel mill closed its biggest furnace in June, and the largest lire manufacturer closed down indefinitely the same month. Unemployment is about 25 percent. But worse still, this economic slowdown is coupled with the highest inflation in the world The military claimed inflation was 375 percent last year, but the World Bank said it was 600 percent. This year is just as bad. Salaries don't keep up with spiralling prices and real wages have been cut 50 percent since the coup The Junta believes in a ‘Tree market," at least for businessmen. Labor unions are banned and strikes arc illegal. The ‘Tree market" means that price controls on popular items have been lifted, so companies can "freely" raise prices. The big industries can afford to survive, but smaller ones are closing down, leaving on a few economic groups controlling the economy. Meanwhile the government is turning the economy over to foreign investors and to Chilean private business. The government owned 500 industries when the coup occurred. Now it owns only 150. and soon will own only 20, when traditionally state-controlled industries, like oil. are turned over to private hands. The government is holding on to the copper mines, but is paying huge compensation to Anaconda and Kennecott. which Allende had refused to pay. Today all new mining ventures are being carried out by foreign companies. marks the second coup in Chile which topped the democratically elected government of Salvador Amende. Allende was murdered, and a military dictatorship took control of the country, initiating a repression which has horrified the world. The record of the Chilean Junta over the last two years has been documented by numerous international investigatory commissions, such as Amnesty International, International Commission of Jurists, the Human Rights Commission of the OAS. and the Human Rights Commission of the U N. Chile has a population of about 10 million. Since the coup, over 100,000 people have been imprisoned for more than 24 hours about one out of every 100 Chileans. Between 20,000 and 30,000 people have been killed; most after having been taken prisoner. Over 2.000 people have disappeared, and arrests have been running about 1.400 a month In the capital city of Santiago during the last nine months. During this period prisoners are usually tortured, frequently including the application of electrical current to the sensitive parts of the body, beatings and near drowning. Currently there are about 10,000 prisoners in jail, with half of the arrests carried out by the secret police, dressed as civilians. Women prisoners are frequently raped by their jailers, and in some cases the military has arrested relatives and tortured them in front of prisoners. Small children have been arrested and tortured in front of their parents. Behind these cold statistics lie a climate of terror. The barbarism of the Chilean Junta has shocked the world. Reports of the international investigatory commissions have caused such embarassment to the Chilean military that they have begun to deny investigators entry to Chile. Last July 4. for example, the United Nation's Human Rights Commission was prohibited from visiting Chile, despite previous promises. West Germany, England. Italy, the Scandanavian countries and most of the socialist countries have cut off all economic and military aid. Mexico broke off diplomatic relations last November, and the U.S. Congress voted in December 1974 to cut oil all military aid. The Chilean regime’s main backers are lew. but they are powerful: the White House. September - The other argument is Senator Mansfield's, that we are repeating Vietnam in a consignment of “advisers" to a foreign country. That is the least defensible argument of all. Nothing is more important now for opposing Israel's excessive demands, as well as defining its just ones than to insist that our support of Jerusalem bears no resemblance to our efforts at ruling Vietnam from a dubious Saigon base.

It was as ineffective as il was unrepresentative 3) Historical: We entered the last act of a French colonial withdrawal in Indochina. In Israel, we helped the U.N. set up a fresh order of things. 4) Geo-strategic: The Israel connection is part of our European defense system, our strongest foreign power base. American presence in Southeast Asia was as useless as it was difficult to sustain. 5) Moral: The U.N.tof up territory for both the Arabs and the Jews after World War If. Tne Arabs opposed that arrangement, and we supported it. We have irsed our support to contain Israel e.g., in the Sue/, attack, or when we insisted on non-preemption in 1973. We owe those we have contained support within their proper limits. - The problem is not an American presence in Israel. The problem is the unrecognized demands of Palestinians in Israeli territory. Our support for Israel must be coupled, henceforth, with increased pressure to make Israel meet the moral demands of the other refugee people in the area.

By the I K s calculations, the big food chains have rung up SI,250.000 in excess profits since the early Id50s.

Proposed faculty and staff reductions include one part-time lecturer in Adult Education, two History part-time faculty members, one Sociology full-time faculty employee, and two full-time faculty members in the Philosophy Department. Campus Security cutback The Budget Committee findings also suggested that the language departments reorganize to form a “Modern Language Department" (including Puerto Rican Studies) and that the Theatre Department merge with music. Among the more serious cutbacks for 1975-76, Campus Security will have to decrease its spending by $50,000. Director Patrick Glennon disclosed that the Student Security Aide program, which costs $13,345, will be eliminated. In order to maintain the same quality of dorm security without the student aides, Glennon said regular Campus Security officers will have to pat ml and guard the dormitories themselves. “It will be a lot tougher, but we'll have to do it," he observed Other sources “This answer is obviously a possible source, but it is not now being seriously considered,” Fogel said. There are a few other possible sources of non-state funding, Fogel said, “but at this time we are not prepared to specify them.” “The mandatory student fee would not be the one that I’d be pressing as the first choice," he added. Health Sciences decision to drop its funding ot coaching salaries was appealed in late July by Harry Fritz, Dean of the School of Health Education. F.

The rise of these groups over the past five years has pointed up the unique problems of student tenants and given birth to a number of strategies for evening up the sides in a landlord-tenant slugfest. unions, to by Neil Klotz Special to The Spectrum Water pipes about to (CPS) burst, missing windown, no hot water, no refrigerator, no stove. - What six University of Michigan students found when they moved into their new house last fall them to one decision: no more rent. Six months later, after a stormy eight-hour court session, their rent strike was vindicated. Their landlord had not made promised repairs, the judge ruled, so the students were not liable for any rent. In fact, he said, they were entitled to a rebate on the one month's rent they already paid.

Today, even so-called "non-technical" courses (psych, soc, bus ad, to name 3) require a variety of technical calculations—complicated calculations that become a whole lot easier when you have a powerful pocket calculator. Not surprisingly, there are quite a few such calculators around, but ours stand apart, and ahead. We started it all when we introduced the world’s first scientific pocket calculator back in 1972, and we’ve shown the way ever since. The calculators you see here are our newest, the first of our second generation. Both offeryou technology you probably won’t find in competitive calculators for some time to come, if ever.

They wanted to control the whole thing, and they killed it, said Leon McMorrow, a consortium in October to academically justify this allocation. The purpose of the consortium was to develop innovative educational programs. The parents objected to this plan at first, but later accepted an invitation to participate in the meetings. Several former staff members insist, however, that parents and staff were not actually allowed to join the meetings. Parents and staff were basically satisfied with the Day Care Center. As a parent cooperative, parents helped develop the structure, the programs and the hiring of staff. The administratrion closed the Day Care Center on December j!0, and established the Early Childhood Center in its place, under the directorship of Dorothy Earner. The Day Care staff was replaced by new teachers and staff hired by the administration. Two of the original staff members were rehired as teachers.

Earner disputed this contention, claiming to that parents were encouraged to participate. They were not required their come, but the fact that they were not encouraged to come was in minds, she stated. When the ECC staff was hired in early January, there were informed that the Center would close in May. In April, it was disclosed that Earner was looking for federal funding. Earner reported to the ECC staff that the consortium was pleased with the Center and believed it was academically justified to received University funds, according to Ms. Cassiol. This led the parents and staff to believe the ECC would reopen in the fall. Ambivalent responses Parental attitudes toward the new center were ambivalent. Many parents thought ECC was an improvement over the old Center, because it did not have to rely on parental aid. However, others were Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics a distinguished visiting lecture series on "ENERGY" by EDWARD TELLER Energy The Origin of its Sources Energy The History of its Uses Energy The Adventures of Nuclear Power Wednesday, Sept. 10 Energy A Plan for Action Thursday, Sept. 11 Monday, Sept. 8 Tuesday, Sept. 9 — - - - - - Final attempts Center members also hoped to keep ECC open during the summer session. “We were willing to work through June with only minimal pay. if the administration would allow negotiations during this time, slated Phil Nicoli, a staff member. The University provosts all said they would support us, Mr. Nicoli said, but nothing came out of it. Meetings were held until the summer session with representatives of the center and various administrators to discuss future funding. Kelter said he sent letters to various academic departments and asked the Faculty Senate Executive Committee and the Provost ot the Faculty of Social Sciences to examine day care funding. “Only a few departments came through, the largest amount stemming from the Health Sciences.” said Ms. Cassiol. “When their own funds were cut back, they could not possibley support day care also." No future plans “At the last of these meetings, we found out the centci would officially close." Hodas said Parents found out a few weeks later in the letter from l)i Baumer The University presently has no future plans to organize another dav care center.

In recent years he has attracted attention for his role in the practical application of thermonuclear principles in the development of thermonuclear weapons. He has also helped develop national programs to explore peaceful uses of nuclear explosives & to harness thermonuclear energy by both magnetic confinement & laser techniques. His major current interests include the development of new energy resources, with emphasis on national research planning & national & international security issues.

Cynthia Anderson, the previous director, resigned in June. Anderson gave no reason for her unexpected resignation, but according to Martin McIntyre, Assistant Dean of Health Education, she was up for tenure this year, and the fear that she wouldn’t get it may have influenced her decision. In the past, Buffalo coaches without a doctorate have been refused tenure. No more cookies According to Dr. Sevier, now in her third year at Bullalo. women s athletics today are very different from the “playday” sports when she first started school. “It was more social then. Two or three schools would get together, and the girls would divide into teams. Alterwards. everyone would have cookies.” As director, Dr. Sevier is responsible for scheduling games and helping to plan the athletic budget Her basic job, however, is “to provide the best environment in each sport." Title IX no problem Dr Sevier thinks that Title IX, the new federal law concerning women’s athletics, has not brought many changes to Buffalo. “It has effected us less than anyone," she stated, “because we already had a good relationship with the men here.” In the past two years, there have been no instances of any lack of cooperation or support from the men, she said. “Title IX could be used as a lever,” she said. “But 1 don't see any real need for it at this institution.” There are a few things Dr. Sevier would like to change, although she does not foresee any real alterations in the women’s program within the next couple years unless the current budget crisis is resolved. For instance scheduling all the different groups who want to use Clark Hall is almost impossible. Five intercollegiate teams plus intramurals needing the large gym regularly is not unusual during the winter months. Dr. Sevier also would like better facilities and more space in which to work. Hopefully, this will come about when the facilities at the Amherst Campus are built.

However, Student Athletic Review Board Chairman Dennis Delia said the hours would eventually be changed back to 4-11 p.m. There is also a new addition to the Kelterpillar. Trailers attached to it over the summer will house a locker room and showers, eliminating one of last year's major complaints about the lack of such facilities. Also planned for later this year is the addition of line striping for volleyball and badminton. A partition in the Bubble can divide the floor space so that two sports can be set up at once.

Eliot Sharp faced charges of criminal trespass, second-degree assault and resisting arrest. Two other students, Paul Ginsberg and Paul Mittman, have their charges dismissed this week, according to their attorney, Norm Effman. Ginsberg faces charges of trespass, criminal mischief and governmental obstruction of administration. Mittman was charged with criminal criminal trespass. (ACLU) is expected to decide this week whether to Join the Student Association (SA) and the Student Association of the State University (SASU) in a legal suit challenging the Rules for Maintenance of Public Order for violating the first amendment rights of students. In a June 13 memorandum to the SA Executive Committee concerning the suspensions, SA Director of Student Affairs Steven Schwartz explained that the lawsuit Mittman are dismissed, all charges against 10 will have ended in acquittal or dismissal. Criminal trespass charges against Jim Hughes, David Lennett and Keith Parsky were dismissed in early June for lack of evidence. Ismael Gonzalez had charges of resisting arrest and third-degree assault dismissed, and was acquitted of the UB criminal trespass. criminal trespass charge against Reitz was dismissed in early July, followed by his acquittal of resisting arrest, obstructing assault third-degree and governmental administration. Of the ten students, Gleba, Sharp, Ginsberg and Gonzalez remain on suspension until, January 1976. Reitz is suspended until the fall of 1976. A Charles does not concern an abuse of power, but rather the power itself. “Dr. Ketter acted totally within the scope of his authority,” Schwartz said. Criminal trespass charges against James Hughes, one of three students arrested near the Campus Security offices on Winspear Avenue, were dismissed by Judge Green in Lenny Klaif, attorney for the three students, acknowledged that one of the key factors involved in dismissing the charges was the defendants’ signing a release in which they promised not to sue the the University Committee on Maintenance of Public Order on any June on the basis that the students’ presence in the area behind the Campus Security offices did not necessarily mean they were infringing on any one else’s rights, and therefore was constitutionally grounds. permissible. Lawsuit This American Civil Liberties Union Lack of evidence When the charges against (iinsherg and News Analysis Ketter remains firm on five student suspensions by Richard Korman from the University Hearing Committee on the Maintenance of recommendations Managing Editor Public Order. The decision not to prosecute three more members of the UB 10 with the expectation that charges against the remaining two students will be dropped brings further attention to the this week paradox that all the students arrested in Hayes Hall were exonerated in City Court but five still remain suspended from the University campuses. - - This week, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) will decide whether to join the Student Association (SA) suit against SUNY. SA charges that the Rules for the Maintenance of Public Order, the legal basis for the suspensions, violate students’ First Amendment rights to peaceful (The suit has already been endorsed by the Student Association of the State University.) If ACLU joins the suit, and thus increases the chance for a favorable decision, President Robert Ketter will almost certainly come under pressure to drop the suspensions in the interest of assembly. justice. Furthermore, State University officials in Albany may urge him to reverse his decision to avmd the risk of having the guidelines overturned in court. Reversal unlikely It is unlikely, however, that Ketter will change his mind. He has, in the past, shown a remarkable ability to remain intransigent in the face of public criticism and private pressure from Albany. The possibility of Ketter reversing the suspensions is also doubtful because a report issued by SUNY on the handling of the April 25 demonstration gave quiet approval to the Ketter administration by concluding that it acted within its authority. Although some students are planning rallies to support repeal of the suspensions, the growing list of legal arguments which challenge the SUNY regulations are more likely to move Ketter than organized political opposition. Meanwhile, Ketter, on sabbatical in Buffalo for the summer, has virtually cut himself off from the University and avoided questions about the suspensions. Ketter handed down the suspensions in June lenient despite more early Longer terms The academic punishments imposed by Ketter upped the recommended terms of three suspensions and two probations to six-month suspensions and one all without a public one-year suspension four — explanation. The power of the University President is virtually unlimited in these cases despite the existence of a Hearing Committee, whose function is purely advisory. Ketter is the Committee compelled to review recommendations and hearing transcripts, but when his opinions differ, he shows no reluctance to act unilaterally. In effect, the committee structure appears to ensure “due process” and equitable treatment, but there is virtually no check on the power of the President and there exist no higher avenues for appeal. The suspended students were found guilty of violating a section of the Rules for the Maintenance of Public Order, which states “No person, either singly or in concert with others shall: Refuse to leave any building or facility after being required' to do so by an authorized administrative officer.” Law held illegal SA Director of Student Affairs Steve Schwartz, in a memorandum distributed in that this regulation June, contended contradicts other sections of the Rules which expressly permit “peaceful picketing and other orderly demonstrations.” “What we have is simply a situation where an authorized administrative officer, without any guidelines whatsoever, can arbitrarily and capriciously determine the legality of demonstrations and make it completely illegal by simply telling people to leave,” Schwartz explained in his memo. “In other words,” he continued, “it doesn’t matter what you are doing in the building. If he tells you to leave and you refuse, it is in violation of the rules and regulations.” It was under the weight of these arguments that City Court Judge Sam Green dismissed the charges against James Hughes, one of three students arrested near the Campus Security offices on Winspear. At that trial, allegations that Hughes remained in the area behind the offices despite orders to leave by Buffalo police became irrelevant when the prosecution failed to prove to Green that the defendant’s presence infringed on the rights of others. Two legal precedents cited by Schwartz suggest that even if the terms of the suspensions have already expired by the time the lawsuit reaches trial, the legal questions behind the suit still qualifies for a decision. In “Thornhill vs. ’ Alabama,” the Supreme Court held that it was not the sporadic abuse of power which threatens our Constitutional rights, but "the threat inherent in its very existence, the fact that an administrator can simply tell people who are within their First Amendment rights to leave.” Abuse not needed The Supreme Court ruled in “Lovell vs Griffin” that “proof of an abuse of power’ is not necessary in testing the legality of a statute involving freedom of expression. The Schwartz memo finds further basis for questioning the legality of the suspensions in the structure of the Hearing Committee and the process of notifying suspended students of their rights. However, with the ACLU on the verge of a decision, and the eventual dismissal of all civil charges against the remaining UB 10 imminent, the suspensions stand out as an unusually harsh reproach for five students, one a PhD candidate, another a freshman. Asked if he thought in retrospect that there might have been some way to prevent the arrests, Ketter replied in April: “Students are adults who can, read, hear and comprehend. The demonstrators said they are prepared to take risks. If they feel strongly, then they take the risks.” Schartz is convinced SA can win the suit and overturn the SUNY regulations. Given these possibilities, the question still remains: Will Ketter stand by his original decision? �NYPIRG suit seeks MD’s help in surveys Statewide IRC?

But although Schwartz supports a statewide IRC, he feels this would be difficult for SASU to accept since “it is telling them they are not reliable.” SASU delegate Frank Jackalone admitted that in the past, SASU was not receptive to dormitory issues because it was a “young organization, too weak” to take action at that time. However, Jackalone pointed out that SASU did prevent dormitory rent hikes last Spring and that housing is presently its “number one priority.” (NYPIRG) has Board of Department and the filed suit against the State Education cooperating with NYPIRG from Regents for prohibiting doctors staff members in preparing consumer directories. on physicians The directories consist 6f factual information background and practices concerning aid dorm students Dissatisfaction with the present State University at Buffalo housing contract has prompted Inter-Residence Council (IRC) President David Brownstein to plan the formation of a statewide IRC.

Harris pledges a quick end to nation’s unemployment by Rosalie Zuckerman Special Features Editor Harris, Democratic Fred Presidential candidate and former Oklahoma Senator, promised an immediate end to unemployment and a “fairer distribution of wealth and political power" before a small audience at the Statler Hiltom last Friday night. He described his “new populist” —Tsui Fred Harris platform as one aimed at “helping the American people” rather than “big business.” “Two few people have money and power, everybody else has too little of either and this is not what Thomas Jefferson had in mind,” he said. His first step as President would be to “take the rich off welfare.” The government has spent too much money in tax subsidies rescuing big corporations from bankruptcy, according to Harris; conditions of the cities. There is no reason for unemployment to exist, Harris said. If elected, be claimed he would utilize two million public service jobs left untouched as an emergency source of employment. “A job should be a legally enforced right of every man and woman in this country,” he stressed. As President, Harris told the audience, he would enforce “by law if necessary” income tax on the wealthy and government controls on monopolies to ensure a “real system of free enterprise.” Harris singled out the oil, gas, food and automobile steel, being as industries “non-competitive.” “When Ford raises their prices, so does Chrysler. There’s no competition; it’s a shared monopoly.” White collar crime He recalled how in 1971 it was New York discovered that Governor Nelson Rockefeller paid no income tax. “I will be the first President to appoint an attorney general to enforce what Ralph Nader calls getting rid of ‘crime in the suites’.” As a result of the consumer “overtaxed” and being “overcharged” one third of this country’s plant capacity remains The Harris continued. idle, government must take action to control inflationary prices and interest rates so that “more of the consumer’s money is left in their own hands.” The 44-yeard-old Democrat referred to President Ford and his economic advisors, Arthur Burns, and Alan Simon William Greenspan, as the “four horsemen of economic calamity.” New foreign policy Harris accused the United States of being “secretive” and policy. a mass transit system, all of which “elitist” in its foreign say, we to “Dean Rusk used improve the “horrible” would he felt this money could be used to create public service jobs, improve housing and develop instead Page two The Spectrum .

Harris supports military aid to Israel. However, he feels money military spent on current programs should be cut and redirected to public services.

The University offered a separate half-day orientation for parents during which time they heard an introduction by Dean Charles Ebert or Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Siggelkow, toured the Amherst Campus, dined in Food Service, and questioned upper class students about anything and everything related to the University. individual who is able to cope with life despite its shortcomings. For those reasons and more, the University feels a responsibility to see to the needs of its freshmen. That is why summer orientation exists. Over 2000 freshmen participated in orientation this summer between the end of June and the end of July. Today marks the last day. Each session lasted 2Vi days and was designed to help students register and acclamate themselves to the University environment. During their brief stay on campus freshmen are housed in Goodyear Hall and fed in the Norton Hall first floor cafeteria. In addition to filling out a slew of forms, meeting with Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) advisors, and taking language placement tests, students may attend any number of the many social and informational activities scheduled Try orientation planners. Success formula John Buerk has been Director of Orientation for the past five years, but he believes this year’s program has presented the most “coherent, balanced view of the University.” The primary challenges he encountered in setting up the program were reorganizing to the administrative end due the retirement of two key DUE personnel. and invovlement. They also pointed to the increasing number of local students who will be living in the dormitories because many have actually found it cheaper to sta/ on campus than to commute. Two-year orientation veteran, aide Pam Benson noted the improvements in this year’s program, citing that students are broken into more small groups and have more personal contact with the aides and other freshmen. She said the regular summer evening activities, like the outdoor coffeehouses and movies, .helped improve the social aspect of orientation.

Orientation is a time when freshmen are bombarded with information everywhere they turn. The feeling of despair when after hours of searching through the Class Schedule courses still conflict, the realization that human beings are reduced to Social Security numbers, the battle of the bureaucracy these are just a few of the frustrations a freshman must face. , are more politically and socially aware.

In an attempt to prevent an expected 70,000 young people from attending next Friday's concert in Rich Stadium, ;own officials sought a court injunction against promoter Jerry Nathan of Festival East to bar the Stones from appearing. Luckily, they failed. Town Attorney Francis Busteed informed the residents that if the town was unsuccessful in bringing action against the promoters, it could be liable for hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damages. While Orchard Park residents are recovering from their defeat, they are already making plans to stop future Summerfest events in the stadium. Why? Because one lady said, "The kids come in beat-up, out-of-date cars" which "boil over and create more traffic problems than the newer cars the football fans come in." Another man complained that town board members don't live near the stadium. "We gotta stay there and watch what goes on. I'm disgusted." The attitudes of town residents towards the Summerfest audiences are narrow-minded, intolerant, and insensitive, despite the fact that past crowds have been orderly and well-behaved. But because this is a rock concert and not a football gamme, the few rowdies one finds in any large crowd suddenly become the prototypes of all young people. There is nothing wrong with letting large numbers of people enjoy a day of good music in the sun. Vet it would be a crime to reserve the multi-million dollar Rich Stadium for only four months of use and leave it to rot senselessly in the summer heat. NEW YORK This is a city that lives on close margins and by desperate risks. Watch a cab shave pedestrians, or a true New Yorker work his way up in line, or a water make room for more volume in a cheap restaurant. Not every borough is Manhattan, of course; but this island sets the pace and raises all the problems. It’s getting hard to buy a cup of coffee for less than 35 cents. The high rent, insurance, taxes and delivery costs go into every item sold. Such huge amounts of people and merchandise have to be moved so often in New York that any snag, even the slightest, is felt to be critical. Two days’ garbage here is like a year’s supply in the town I grew up in. It is common, around the country, to say New York is the “fast track.” But that can mean that one goes broke if one does not make it big. They say no Broadway show can survive unless it is a blockbuster. TV tapings have moved out of town. Union rates drive businesses away. Still, there are too many people making too many demends. The city has gone broke trying to meet them all. Mayor Beame’s recent gestures were primarily theatrical meant to scare taxpayers into paying more, and to assure investors that municipal bonds will support a growing enterprise. More desperate measures are needed, and the place to start is not with essential services, like fire and police forces, but with the nonessentials (however desirable). That should mean no more free tuition on the eighteen campuses of the City University. Ninety percent of the incoming classes have come from families making less than $15,000 a year which, in effect, means that 10 percent of the population is carrying most of this tax load. Or, rather, not carrying it anymore. It amazes me that right-wing critics of “elitism” oppose open admission on principle. Surely, this is a Friday, Editor-in-Chief 1 - — j August 1975 way of breaking down elites? Education provides the last real stamp of privilege in our society, and it would be pleasant to extend it to everyone all the way up through college, as New York has tried to do. But in New York’s present situation, this ambition has become self-defeating. The city will not save money, even after getting rid of the free-tuition measure, until dwindling enrollments lead to faculty dismissals and the closing down of some facilities. That is going to hurt, in a number of ways. Faculty out of work will still draw unemployment checks until they are driven from the city. Some buildings will go to waste. Janitorial help will be cut back. Students turned out on the streets will cause more police and welfare problems. But until New York becomes less desirable to those who draw on its services without contributing anything, it will continue downhill, so that it increasingly serves no one very well, w is overcrowded, undersupported and on the brink. It can no longer be a model for other cities. It is an exception, and should be treated as such. The regimen on a lifeboat is not the pattern for a good society; but without such reigmen no one will survive to rejoin normal society. New York should be Immigration to residence requirements for strict discouraged; welfare should keep out those who are not self-supporting. The lifeboat cannot pick up any more people just now. If the nation as a whole suffers from overpopulation and pollution, New York has a special version of every such problem. It has done too much too fast for too many. Its resources were not inexhaustible, and it must learn to cut back, slow down, settle for less. In that way it may, after all, have a lesson to teach the rest of us. It is exceptional because it has all of the nation s problems, rich, large and concentrated; and the nation is watching with concern to see if New York can cope.

One - Faith M. Prince �'Love and Death' 'Classic Allen peaks as director by Bill Maraschiello Arts Editor When we think of the "classic" comedians, we usually think of personalities who worked with basically the same character, appearing from film to film in guises that were trivially different. But the comic was never difficult to recognize, and there was always the sensation of spotting an old friend in a foreign land. It was an intimacy common to most "movie stars," but it was warmer in the case of the comedians, if only because they were more fun than the burly, brawly he-men and the sequined, satin ladies. We admired Gable, Flynn and Lombard (not to mention Garbo), but we liked Chaplin, Keaton, Fields, the Marxes, and the other laugh merchants. In this sense, Woody Allen is the only classic comedian working in film today (the only possible exception is Jacques Tati, whose Mr. Hulot is virtually unknown outside cineaste circles). The rest of screen comedy is apportioned among gifted comic actors like Peter Sellers and Zero Mostel, and behind-the-scenes talents like Mel Brooks. Woody Allen is always playing "himself," and no other modern film actor or filmmaker can say that. Matured in Woody In a perverse way, I'm almost happy to say that Love and Death isn't quite as hilariously written as Allen's other films. The reason is that, somehow, this turn of events focuses more attention upon something very important: Allen's maturation as a director and as an actor. Love and Death is about love and death in the same sense that War and Peace is about war and peace. And the best place to pick up those kind of indefinables by the scruff of the neck is 19th Century Russia. The landscape that Allen creates could have blossomed (festered?) from the nightmares of an NYU Russian Lit. major, where the Slavic cliches flow thick and fast as borscht in July. Take Father Andre, for example, "the most wrinkled man in the county" whose gray beard flows over his chest, over his desk, and five feet onto the floor. Or the old peasant who has finally realized his to work dream of "owning a piece of land," his piece is about a foot square, and he carries it under his coat. can't do some of the things Allen puts her Fit for comedy Allen plays a minor aristocrat named Boris, the youngest of three brothers. His first appearance i#at a dance, where he executes a trepak in which, in trying to look like Nureyev, he winds up more like Prince Myshkin in the throes of a fit. But Boris, the only man in Russia with horn-rimmed glasses, is sensible enough not to gaily march off to the Napoleonic Wars to get spattered all over Mother Russia. He goes anyway (serving, for awhile, as a cheerleader for the Russian troops), and returns a hero after being shot out of a cannon into the French headquarters. (Buster Keaton used to save the day in much the same fashion.) Speaking of Keatons, Diane Keaton plays Allen's cousin Sonya, who has worked out a foolproof way to repulse Allen's advances: turn every courting session into a philosophy seminar. "All men are mortal: Socrates was mortal; therefore, all men are Socrates." Eventually, though, he wins her heart, to the point of helping his attempt to the Odessa Steps When Allen started out as a comic, he was as purely verbal a comedian as we're ever likely to see. In Love and Death he finally comes into his own (and out of someone else's) as a physical comic. Watch him playing the coquette to a lascivious countess in a theater, or dancing through the trees with Death at the end, parodying Bergman's The Seventh Seal. (Death is "like the chicken at Mestu's assassinate Napoleon. This is basically what happened to Allen and Keaton in Sleeper, Allen's last film. And Allen makes the same mistake he made in Sleeper with regard to Keaton; he gives her Woody Allen lines, and puts her in Woody Allen situations, and it doesn't work. She's too normal too natural, to fit into a female Woody , Allen mold, and she doesn't have the kind of comic talent that would help her do so more easily. She's a good actress, as Play It Again Sam proved; she just doing Dancing restaurant, only worse.") Allen's growth as a director has also continued and here. This is as much a cinematic parody as it is a literary parody. His satiric hommages to Bergman and to Eisenstein's Potemkin are less manic and more calm and assured, as is his command of the "straighter" aspects of his own style. Like his tapping of Russian literature and philosophic rhetoric, his filmic snickers run the risk of limited accessibility. Sleeper and Love and Death both belong to a new phase in Allen's career. They're both more carefully constructed and executed with more polish than his earlier films. But though Love and Death is very, very funny, and Allen's gift for the gag remains as voluble as ever, he seems to have lost a little something, to have become "clever" where he was once "funny." Love and Death will be coming to the Amherst Theater, in the University Plaza. steadily, peaking (so far) in Sleeper �Our Weekly Reader Chicago blues these bo£)ks and stories.

Ronee Blakley, .the only professional country singer in the film, plays Barbara Jean, the queen of them all, to Henry by Randi Schnur Arts Editor Several weeks ago, a film called The Nashville Sound was shown in the Conference Theatre. Although it purported to be a documentary about Opryland the musicians who actually played at the Grand Ole Optry, the hundreds of less fortunate ones who seemed ready to die trying (epitomized by a graceless guitarist named Herbie, even who looked and acted sweated like a displaced Richard Dreyf uss-as-Duddy Kravitz) and the thousands more who were happy just to buy their tickets and sing along from their seats the movie was too silver-haired, king Haven Hamilton. He is as egotistical and self-assured as she is neurotically insecure, and his obvious but absurdly naive sense of perfect control (introduced to the actress in a bar, he exclaims, "Isn't this a coincidence! I was talkin' about the New Christy Minstrels just this morning, and now here's Julie Christie!") forms an ironic backdrop for the child-woman's rapid nervious breakdown. Her Gibson's sequin-suited - — — — patronizing, too corny, too joyless and simply uninteresting to pass as a definitive statement on anything. What were all those Opry audiences getting so worked up about, anyway? The Nashville Sound offered no clues. Robert Altman's Nashville, on the other hand, was conceived without any pretensions toward "definition;" it is to The Nashville Sound as a well-researched, written work of beautifully fiction is to the maiden effort of an over-confident, semi-literate cub reporter. Altman's cast and crew the Country Music Mecca with tongues in cheeks but hearts obviously in the right place; the earlier film, while taking itself much too seriously, completely missed the spirit and excitement which link together Nashville's half-dozen sub-plots. Even the music in the new film sounds probably the worst better imaginable insult to Sound, since Nashville's songs were nearly all written and performed by amateurs (stars like Henry Gibson and Keith Carradine created their but that may be own material) approached — — manager-husband Barnett (Allan Garfield) sums up her whole problem beautifully halfway through a terrifying little sequence in her hospital room when he blurts out, "Don't tell me how to run your life I been doin' pretty well with it!" tyrannical due as much to its context as to anything else. — Star crossed There are about two dozen "stars" in this film. Many of these main characters' lives intertwine in one way or another, almost all at least pass each other in the airport, at the hospital or on the street, but each one has a different story to tell, a separate and fully developed personality to introduce. Altman's and writer Joan Tewksbury's immensely satisfying achievement seems positively staggering when viewed from this angle: this is not your usual microcosm of a society scaled down to the size of two or three this is a whole world, often sordid and mean, but entirely believable. (Any one of Nashville's aspiring superstars looks more "real" than Sound's Herbie, whose huge arsenal of electronic equipment, all jammed into a tiny, beat up prototypical characters — State of the union The key to Haven's philosophy lies in the song with which he begins the film, self-righteously asserting that "we must be doin' somethin' right to last 200 years." Barbara Jean, on the other hand, has never been allowed to think that far; Barnett has everything planned, from her politics down to her hairstyles and including the get-away when the state of her sanity finally becomes too clear for a whole audience to ignore. Keith Carradine's Tom seems like the ultimate sex symbol: dedicating a song he performs in a bar to "someone special who just might be here tonight," he has four women absolutely convinced he is singing to each of them, and a whole roomful of others who they wish only that could somehow be so sure.

I really didn't know what to expect from Bruce Springsteen since I was not that familiar with his music, but, rave reviews and the local airplay convinced me that a trip to Geneva to see him might be a cure waiting 2Vi for the summertime blues." So after driving 100 miles, hours to get in (it was general admission), and dashing madly into the I theatre to find the first two rows occupied by the ushers' friends, was in for a surprise. I was amazed at how lax the security was. Re-admission tickets were given to those who forgot to bring beer and wanted to go across benevolently as joints the street to get some. The security men smiled were passed around. Photographers positioned themselves in the orchestra pit along with latecomers who wanted better seats. Compare that with a concert by Festival East. band At 8:55 p.m., the music and lights finally went off, and the lights, dressed like stage purple the dim emerged, specter-like in gangsters. The crowd started chanting, "Bruce, Bruce!" just like at a hockey game. The stage lights went on, the band played madly and there was Springsteen; kung fu kicking in the air, slithering on the stage, dropping to his knees to growl into the microphone, or just standing there snapping his fingers like an ultra-cool Sammy Davis, Jr. He was dressed in city kid street uniform: black leather jacket and muscle shirt, blue jeans, sneakers, button-down cap and gold earring. His stage presence seemed to be a variation on Dylan. Up," The first two songs, "Blinded By the Light" and "Growing N.J.

They are a very tight ensemble, made up of sax, piano, organ, guitar, bass and drums, and play with a fervor throughout that most groups save for the last couple of songs. Then again, maybe this only happens when the audience is as enthusiastic as this one was. The high level of excitement never waned during the two hours they played After a few crowd favorites, Bruce picked up his Telecaster to play 'Tenth Avenue Freezeout" and “Born to Run" from a soon-to-be released Ip. "Kitty's Back" gave everyone (Bruce included) a chance to show their stuff. Then, the band left for a breather and Bruce remained on stage to do "Incident on 57th Street" with just a piano accompanying his great voice. On record, he sometimes sounds like Van Morrison or Rick Danko, but in person he becomes unmistakably unique, entrancing and overpowering the audience with his sheer vocal strength.

Although admitting that enforcement of the "No Parking" rule hat not been consistent this summer, Lee Griffin, assistant director of Campus Security, said Security "can't do anything" about fixing the tickets and that it would be up to the Parking Violations Bureau to drop the penalties. But irate orientation aides have registered complaints with University officials and cries of "Free the Parking Lot 15" have reportedly been heard from the Goodyear fourth floor east lounge window. Two of them, one introduced by Rep. Marvin Esch (R., Mich.) and Rep. Paul Rogers (D., Fla.) and the other by Rep. Les Aspin (D.. Wise.), would provide for two years of study by the National Academy of Science (during which industry could make a changeover to freon substitutes); the Rogers-Esch bill would then require regulation of flurocarbon “emissions” by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with the option of a complete ban if necessary. Aspin’s proposal calls for a quantitative limit on flurocarbon production on an annual basis. The bills have been jointly referred to the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce and the Committee on Science and Technology. The Science and Technology subcommittee on Environment and the Atmosphere will hold hearings soon. - - International problem All of the government sponsored studies into ozone depletion have two inherent drawbacks. Each deals with only one aspect of the problem and altogether, they only deal with ozone depletion caused by activities in the UJS. Ozone depletion is an international problem, not confined to geographic areas. Chemicals entering the ozone disperse themselves over the entire global layer. What is needed is a worldwide, multi-national task force to monitor and control ozone depletion. The United Nations’ Environmental Program is considering a plan to monitor ozone levels, and to compile information on ozone. However, decisive action aimed at actually controlling its depletion may be years away. 'VACATION TIME IS A GOOD TIME! 1 Possible substitutes A Senate bill introduced by Senators Thomas McIntyre (D., N.H.) and Clifford Case (R., N.J.) would authorize the National Academy of Science to study the effects and possible substitutes for freons. and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to recommend possible levels for flurocarbon discharges. The bill would ban the sale and manufacture of aerosols using flurocarbons two years after enactment unless they are found harmless to health, safety and the environment. Lawyers and scientists close to the issue, however, are throwing their support behind the pending Toxic Substances bill, which would require not pre-market testing of all chemical products to determine their safety to just flurocarbons human health. It would also shift somewhat the burden of proof in toxic substances controversies from environmentalists and labor representatives to industry. The bill has been before Congress and has been fought successfully by industry for several years; it is expected to come to the floor again in late summer at the earliest.

This worthy event, the proceeds which will fund five areas of sports medicine research, brings together players from 43 schools in four counties of the Western New York area. The point that this game brings up is that the best football players in this part of the state, the cream of the crop, will be playing on the Main Street Campus, yet none of them will be attending school here. No kidding? One of the silliest things, to my mind, about this school is that it is in the midst of moving to an ultra-modern, super-expensive, hotsy-totsy new campus in Amherst. Yet nowhere can the money be found to field any kind of a football team. Nowhere? Come on, now. Just whom do we think The image that the people in this area, both young and old, have retained of this school since the late 1960’s is that the students are a bunch of drug-crazed radicals whose only athletic inclinations are to throw rocks at Hayes Hall and march downtown. We don’t have to establish an Ohio State football factory, or a Michigan-type juggernaut, but for the public relations value alone, isn’t it time that we restore football to the scene? Club football a chance Even a club football team would be a vast improvement: it would cast a different light on the name of the school in the minds of many thousands of local people, whose only experience with this University may be what they have read about the trials and tribulations of the “UB Ten.” Canisius College is instituting a new football program this fall. The State University at Albany has fielded a good, competitive team for several years now. Surely, out of an $80 million budget and almost another million dollars in student fees, w'e can find enough funds to establish some sort of a program. If we allow the echoes of next Saturday’s Frontier Football Classic to fade away without leaving some spark in us, the football pliyers will not be the only ones who will lose. We all will.

The World Peace Tax Fund Act, H.R. 4897, would enable those opposed to military spending to check a box on their tax returns, to send the portion of their tax money used for military projects to a humanitarian “World Peace Fund.” Many religious groups support the legislation, including the Quakers, the Mennonites, the Church of the Brethern, and the Roman Catholic Church. A statement by each of these groups in support of the act was presented to the House of Representatives by the Division of World Peace and Justice of the U.S. Catholic Conference. First of its kind “We encourage legislative efforts which offer citizens who object, for reasons of conscience, to paying taxes to support military programs the option of allocating a portion of their tax payment to fund world peace and development-oriented programs,” the statement said. Initial support for the act came in 1971, when a steering committee was formed by a group of concerned citizens in Ann Arbor, Michigan, including students and faculty from the University of Michigan Law School, to enlist public backing and to lobby with legislators on its behalf. The National Council for the World Peace Act has launched an intensive lobbying and letter-writing campaign to support the bill. Spokespersons for the Council say they have not yet encountered strong direct opposition to the act, but do face severe budgetary objections from the military and the Pentagon. They feel the “highly idealistic nature” of the legislation makes it “vulnerable” to attack from the military, especially since it is the first legislation of its kind to be formally considered by the Congress.

The standard adult rate for a by Howard Greenblatt is now offering Campus Editor one-year subscription is $10.00. A duplicate of a student’s MDA record will then be sent to Student Health Service. Otherwise, all medical records will be kept strictly confidential and returned to the student after the data is recorded on * microfilm. A1 Campagna, director of Sub-Board’s Health Care Division, supports the concept of MDA and has cooperated with Cone in informing current students and incoming freshmen. “1 think that emergency medical systems need to be vastly improved,” Campagna said. “The concept of an individual being able to carry his medical records around with him at all times has enough merit to warrant at least giving it a chance.” While Cone envisions that one day, MDA will be mandatory for all University students, Campagna would rather allow it “to take its natural course.” “I don’t think making it mandatory is at this time feasible because there are too many legal barriers to be overcome,” Campagna said. Two problems Two of the biggest problems promoting MDA stem from a general unwillingness to believe that such preventive steps are necessary, and the fact A sample Medical Data Alert (MDA) identification card containing microfilmed medical data. MDA is also available on a keychain or necklace. first aid, emergency hospital personnel must often wait until vital medical information is obtained before undertaking further treatment. MDA identification enables hospital personnel to quickly see details of any pre-diagnosed condition, past treatment and medications, known allergies, blood type, shot record, etc. MDA also lists the addresses and phone numbers of the person’s next of kin, family physician, employer or pharmacist for emergency notification. “that people do not have the capacity to recall pain,” Cone explained. He said many people have few or no vital medical conditions which they -feel would affect emergency treatment, and therefore question the importance of having MDA identification.' However, Cone noted, if such “healthy” people have an accident and are rendered uncqnscious or otherwise unable to communicate with doctors and emergency personnel, they cannot risk the dangers of treatment without a full medical profile. Even if there is nothing significant to know, that is still significant, he said. Cone feels people tend to think it unlikely that an accident requiring emergency treatment will ever befall them. According to the National Safety Council, however, “one in four Americans each year has an accidental injury, and it is estimated that 7 to 10 percent of them enter emergency treatment in trauma condition, he said. Students wishing to take advantage of the special price should contact Cone at DatAlert Corporation, 2959 Genesee Street, Buffalo, 14225, or phone 894-4 110. Photographic Studies Program might not be cut The proposed dropping of the graduate program to help absorb budget cuts in 1976-77 might be abandoned once the University Budget Committee hears the appeals by program participants, Art Professor Nathan Lyons told The Spectrum. According to Lyons, the program’s director and only faculty member cutting the program “may actually cost the University money.” that the explained Lyons program, based in the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, serves Seventy full-time teaching Seven students. assistants, and a half-time clerical assistant are the only paid personnel. While the total cost of the program to the University is around $56",000', seventy full-time graduate students would pay about $84,000 a year in tuition, he said. University Budget The suggested that Committee Photographic Studies be dropped, partly because of its geographical isolation from the rest of the University, and partly because would affect a dropping it number of relatively small students. Students contacted by The Spectrum defended the location of the program, saying that has photographic Rochester resources not available in Buffalo, notably Eastman House which cooperates closely with the Visual Studies Workshop, Low per-student cost The program serves a small but considerable group of students at low per-student cost, Lyons said, Since the program uses the Visual Studies Workshop’s facilities, the University saves the cost of providing facilities. Also, because photographic studies has some outside funding and since students work on projects that generate income for the center, only around 17 percent of its total the budget comes from University, he added. Terming Committee the decision Budget an Lyons mistake,” unfortunate pointed out that the program has compiled a “strong track record” for enrollments and employment of graduates. In addition, the program has developed a national and international reputation in the field of photography, he said. Ironically, Lyons said, while his own salary is the largest single component of the program’s budget, the University cannot cut his faculty line since he is a tenured professor in the Art Department. He speculated that this fact was not known to the Budget Committee when it was looking over possible areas for budget savings. Lyons is confident that the program will be saved when the appeal is heard by the Budget Committee. He pointed out that the program’s existence was in doubt several times before but that it was saved once its value was explained. Three schools drop SASU memberships by Laura Bartlett Campus Editor Three member schools of the Student Association of the State University (SASU) have decided to drop their membership from the organization next year. Buffalo State College, the State University College at Fredonia and the New York State and the Agricultural and Technical College at Morrisville objected, among other things, to a raise in SASU’s membership fee from $.60 to $.85 per year per full-time student. Comptroller of the Student Bruce McVersion, Assistant Association (SA) at Fredonia, said the students there did not feel SASU has worked in the best interests of students. “There’s just a lot of poor planning,” he said, citing SASU’s $8000 budget deficit. He explained that it was not the fee raise alone which Fredonia objected to, but also the “lack of the ability to use the funds effectively.” ‘Ineptness’ “We just didn’t feel we were getting our money’s worth,” he said. McVersion cited SASU’s purchase of a $200 coffee machine for its office in Albany, and its payment of $100 per week to staff personnel, “show or no-show,” as examples of its monetary “ineptness.” Anne Tindell, President of the United Student Government (USG) of Buff State, said she disapproved of SASU’s method of calculating its annua) dues. “They charge dues for every full-time student registered. We think activity-tax paying students should be the only ones tabulated. Why should they pay for the students who don’t pay the activity tax?” Tindell didn’t think the College “was getting much out of SASU,” since all the workshops held this year “concerned things we’ve already been concerned about and done something about.” Five gynecologists “They held workshops this year on how to get out of your FSA, how to block-book concerts, and how to start a health service. We got out of our FSA years ago, we’ve been block-booking concerts for some time, and we’re the only SUNY school with an ambulance and five gynecologists to serve our students.” She said the money used to pay SASU dues could be better spent “keeping our clinic open longer hours, or buying new recreational equipment.” Tindell also felt SASU was “diversifying its efforts too much,” and spreading itself too thin. “Originally, the organization was supposed to mainly serve the legislative interests of students,” she said, “but they’ve gotten into so many other different things that they’re only half-doing a lot of them.” Reciprocity Buff State was the only SASU member which did not agree to “reciprocity” earlier this year. Reciprocity is granting every activity-fee paying SUNY student the right to use his ID card for student discounts and services at any SUNY school. “Our facilities are very limited,” Tindell sayd. “We’re having enough trouble serving our own students.” She said SASU offered the Buff State the option of placing limits on any facility or service, but she said the USG “would have had to do it to everything.” “We’re constantly having arguments with people in the community and alumni wanting to use our ticket office, Day Care Center and clinics, and it just wouldn’t be fair. Letting other students use our facilities and discounts would just add to our problems.” Tindell added that the College would consider rejoining SASU in the future after the “bullshit politics” within the organization are over. “1 think SASU is a great idea, and I think students should fight in a unified qianrier for their interests. But when that isn’t happening, it’s time to get out,-” She concluded. —continued on page 2— l ' Accident victims requiring emergency medical may be protected by a medical identification system, which records the person’s complete medical profile on a tiny piece of microfilm attached to a card, keychain or necklace. The system is called Medical Data Alert (MDA). Although accident victims who are injured and rushed to the hospital are usually given immediate treatment V t �Tiny Tim The rise and fall of a career by Rosalie Zuckerman Special Features Editor The motives underlying an entertainer’s decision to grant a personal interview hinge almost entirely on present degree of success. Genuine superstars are the most reluctant to talk, fully cognizant that a single misplaced word could tarnish their image as a shoddy effectively as performance. The climbers, underexposed starry-eyed hopefuls, will blurt out mouthfuls of intimate tidbits; provided their agents have ok’d their opinions beforehand. Always eager to talk, and the saddek to listen to, are the entertainers who have lost it (fame and fortune), “Sf tO!S recently Cheektowaga made her first movie, Cynthia. She looked at me from her cab and threw me a kiss. I'll never forget that year.” When asked how old he was now. Tiny smiled and replied, “I am trying to forget my age. I will always be 16. There is nothing like youth.” Tiny’s goal to this day is to bring back the great stars and melodies from the years between 1890 and 1935. He believes today’s rock music cannot compare with music from the 20’s. “The music of that time was very romantic, very heart-felt, They were melodies that touched the heart.

Frank Sinatra looks good when he sings romantic songs but the good Lord created me ugly as far as looks are concerned." Change of style Afterwards, Tiny gave serious consideration to a complete change of style. "One day, in 1952,1 woke up with a new voice. It was a higher sound that sounded kind of sissiesh at the time but no one sounded like that. I felt original. I felt my soul , move.” From 1953 on, Tiny claimed he never again sang or spoke in a low voice. .“I have a double jointed throat. People think I am putting them on but it is really easier for me to speak in a higher voice.” Next, Tiny felt he had to have a gimmick to go along with his new voice. “Winston Churchill had his cigar, Bing Crosby had his pipe. People remember things like that.” Tiny grew his hair, copying Rudolph the from style Valentino, who wore his hair parted over his eyebrow. By 1956 it had reached shoulder length and began to stir looks in the streets. Tiny stressed that he, and not the “People on the trains wouldn’t sit next to me. I felt tight, but I always smiled.” Despite these hassles, Tiny found his parent’s disappointment most difficult to bear. “My father worked in the mills and my mother was a sewing machine places. operator. They kept wondering, ‘what did we do wrong, where did he learn this from?’ My parents suffered very much.” To this day Tiny still withstands a great deal of heckling on stage.

Friday, 25 July 1975 & �Eighteen defendants face Attica kidnapping charges by Dana Dubbs Spectrum Staff Writer Calendar calls for the eighteen Attica defendants being prosecuted under Indictment No. 5 began Monday in County Court. Indictment No. 5 charges each defendant with 34 counts of first degree kidnapping. Prosecuting attorney James Grable moved to severe counts 1 through 10 from counts 11 through 34. to the state and the county, they asserted. Courts have discretionary authority to grant severance for good cause when the joined counts do not arise out of the same “transaction” or form part of a common plan. 10 counts are responsible for holding the eight hostages in the prison yard from September 9 through 13. Grable argued that the time necessary for the preparation of the trials should be considerably shortened as a result, and that the number of witnesses would be less. He also claimed that if the trial were kept as one, it may become confusing and unreasonably burdensome for the jury. Defense lawyer Michael Eeqtsch told presiding Judge Carmen Ball that the court had no power to sever the counts since the transaction, which is the subject of the indictment, involved the holding of hostages in the prison yard, and that the common plan on the part of the prisoners was to prevent unnecessary loss of life. He also claimed that granting an additional severance would give the state two chances to convict each defendant. Increased cost ‘Wholesale abuses’ Heywood Burns, defense attorney for Shango Bahati Kakwana charged that in Shango’s trial for murder and kidnapping, which ended in acquittal in June, evidence ruled inadmissible by presiding Judge Joseph Mattina was placed in the hands of the jurors during deliberations. Burns moved to dismiss Indictment No. 5 because of “wholesale abuses’, on the Opposition arguments by eight defense lawyers and defendant Frank (Big Black) Smith, acting as his own attorney, were Counts 1 through 8 deal with the alleged abduction of eight hostages who were taken to the catwalks surrounding D Yard just prior to the assault by police on September 13, 1971. Counts 9 and 10 involve two hostages that died on the catwalks and counts 11 through 34 charge based on the fact that the victims of the crimes allegedly committed in counts 1 through 10 are the same victims as in counts 11 through 34. Multiple trials would place a great burden on witnesses and increase the cost that the same defendants named in the first part of the prosecution. Deutsch moved to dismiss Indictment No. 5 on behalf of his client, Papo (Jose Quinones) because the state had failed to provide a speedy trial, as guaranteed in the United States Constitution. It has been 17 months since the case was marked ready for trial, and almost four years since the alleged crimes occurred. Thus far, no trial date has been set. A severed indictment, 5A, which Papo has been placed in, will not be tried until the completion of Indictment No. 5, which is expected to take at least eight months to complete. In reference to the prosecutor’s motion. Big Black said, “Don’t let him keep manipulating us, ‘cause he’s wasting the taxpayers’, money. Wash your hands of it, Judge, because you know it’s dirty.” Defense Attorney Dennis Cunningham told Ball, “I think you should take into consideration all the things that have developed since Dacajeweiah’s trial,” at which point Ball cut him short by replying, “I’ve heard enough.” He has reserved decisions on the motions until next week. Ozone breakdown Aerosol an $8-milIion industry Editor's note: This is the second in a series of articles on the dangers to the ozone layer of the atmosphere. by Doug Fontein and Deborah Baldwin The notion that the lowly aerosol could somehow interfere with the natural bubbling of ozone 20 miles above the earth came to light almost by accident when James Lovelock, a British scientist, discovered in 1972 that flurocarbons remain in the atmosphere almost indefinitely. But he foresaw no adverse effects. A year later, Frank Rowland places and Mario Molina, working on a The size and the power of the from the now-defunct grant Commission, Energy Atomic concluded that while flurocarbons are stable down below, the chlorine they form in the stratosphere is highly reactive and can break down ozone at an extraordinary rate. Analysis revealed that one to two percent of the ozone level has already been eaten away and that at least seven percent will disappear by 1995. Rowland and Molina decided that flurocarbons, because of their relative insolubility in water, have no natural enemies of their own; for can’t example, rainfall, dissipate freon and oceans can’t consume it. They calculated that the several million tons of the compounds currently in the lower atmosphere would increase to nearly a hundred million tons within the next 150 years, and their decomposition and corrosion of ozone in the stratosphere would increase day one correspondingly. are undoutedly behind government’s slow pace in tackling the problem.

Due to publicity and an interest in upswing in health-related issues, the steady gains of the aerosol industry are quietly reversing. Robert Abplanalp, close friend of former President Nixon and inventor of the aerosol valve, admitted recently that valve production fell by 50 percent in March. And freon sales are running about 25 to 30 percent below sales a year ago, according to the largest manufacturer of flurocarbons, Dupont. Important questions remain, in the federal take will for assessing the however: Who government responsibility threat of flurocarbons on the future of global life?

Petition In November 1974, the Natural Defense Resources Council (NRDC), a non-profit public interest law firm with several landmark environmental cases petitioned the Product Safety Commission specifically to ban the use of aerosol sprays using behind it, Consumer flurocarbon propellants. Among other things, NRDC cited recent measurements taken by the former Atomic Energy that showing Commission chloro-flurocarbon molecules had already risen into the lower stratosphere. And the petition stated that given projected increases in the use of aerosols, the U.S. could suffer from 100,000 to 300,000 additional cases of skin cancer annually within 25 years. Rowland and Cicerone believe, meanwhile, that waiting until monitoring efforts show high levels of flurocarbons in the stratosphere is a mistake. “If the destruction of the ozone because of the chemicals ever becomes said measurable,” Rowland recently, it will be too late to reverse and the problem will remain for decades.” jurisidctional gap, in February the hastily assembled a federal inter-agency task force on under present law to respond to government NRDC’s petition.

Fearful of offending the Kremlin and damaging the delicate balance of detente, President Ford denied the Nobel Prize-winner an invitation to the White House on the flimsy grounds that he didn't have time to meet with Solzhenitsyn. Press Secretary Ron Nessen said Ford did not see the author because he preferred "substantive” meetings to "symbolic" ones. Presidential aides also questioned Solzhenitsyn’s "mental stability" and suggested that Ford would only be helping to promote his latest book. The Gulag Archipelago , by agreeing to the interview. final snub came when Ford failed to attend AFL-CIO President George Meany's dinner for Solzhenitsyn, offering some half-assed explanation that he had to stay home with his daughter Susan that evening. And beneath all the so-called official explanations was the ubiquitous voice of Henry Kissinger, who believed a meeting between the two men would be "disadvantageous" to American diplomacy. This country's idea of detente obviously comes at a great cost to the American people. Unforgiveable as it is for the President to shun one of the most revered spokesmen for freedom, the U.S. sees fit to pump millions of dollars into a handshake in space and sell its citizens in a wheat deal that will send 118 million bushels of American grain to the Soviet Union. No wonder people are asking whether this whole business of detente is worth forgetting our humanitarian ideals in order to reassure sensitive Soviet leaders. Allowing the Russians to believe the United States has itself "exiled" Solzhenitsyn, a man who survived ten years in Soviet labor camps, who incurred the wrath of the Soviet authorities, and yet lived through it to tell the world the atrocities he witnessed and endured, would be a debasement of American The values. The saga of Solzhenitsyn and the White House has not ended. Awakening to the great blunder he made, Ford changed his mind and decided to extend an open invitation to the author. This time it was the President of the United States who was snubbed. In a statement read over the phone to Ford, Solzhenitsyn criticized U.S. participation in the 35 nation European summit meeting to be held in Helsinki, Finland next week. "The President will shortly be leaving for Europe to sign the betrayal of Eastern Europe, to acknowledge officially its slavery forever," he said. "Had I the hope of dissuading him from signing this treaty, I myself would seek such a meeting. However, there is no such hope." those words, Solzhenitsyn summed up his displeasure with what he has seen here, and reminded Americans that their country has a long way to go before it lives up to its ideals.

The Spectrum Friday, 25 July 1975 “There are some people who belong here,” he told us. “Murderers, filthy, savage they belong here.” But where do you put musicians? Where do quiet, romantic, songwriters belong? Danny s outlook on life has not soured now. He has become stronger, quieter, but his attitude toward Mexico, its government, its people, has become sadly bitter and his feeling about America is less than appreciative. He sometimes finds it hard to be an American while he lives here. A dog among wolves and other animals. His own people have closed their eyes and their hands, the American consulate in Mexico has shut his ears. To be taken home, to return to the American judicial system, trials, lawyers, rights! Convicted through torture, his statement would mean nothing. Danny’s letters are poetic fantasies of the snow melting in Sun Valley, Idaho, his home for a year. He writes of being in love in San Francisco and bars filled with young people from all over. “Sometimes it’s true,” he writes, “jail can be good for music and the arts, this place too as long as people care for you.” Danny Woody is a romanticist and he can find that in prison because it is part of him. But human needs are less than romantic especially if they are not fulfilled. So Danny will be strong and take it a day at a time as he says. But “this is Mexico, where they give you nothing to eat, nothing to drink, no clothes. So if people I know stop writing and sending what they can, no way I will be able to live up to being an American." Anyone interested in writing to Danny, sending a few bucks or helping out in any way can write to: Danny Woody, CPM Colonial Juarez, Mazatlan, Sinoloa, Mexico.

Just as in all Mexican prisons, a man can buy anything from food to love to respect to freedom. Danny Woody's freedom comes easily. He finds it in his music; he shares love in airmail envelopes; and respect? He II always have plenty. But starvation is frightening. It seeps through the prison gates and into his dreams. He knows there is no one to stop him from dying. He can only buy his way out of starvation. Stripped of his American rights and basic human needs, the twenty-nine year old musician awoke that first damp morning to the blind stare of a rat. After a few concrete nights on the cold floor, Danny bought his own upper bunk for 3000 pesos ($360.00), still hanging on to his money though for daily needs like food and toilet paper. One hundred and seventy-five kilos ol marijuana in the back of an American boy s truck make Mexican officials very happy. Pesos, pesos, money in their pockets and $40,000 is Danny Woody’s price. Through cattle prods and other torturous devices, Danny signed his statement and was committed to five years of rooming with Mexican murderers, rapists and young American smugglers. During January-February of this year, his first month in Juarez as a bystander to some crazy Spanish brawl. Danny was stabbed three times in the side and gut. Now he sees no fights, hears no midnight screaming and knows nobody's secrets. Each bunk is walled off into separate little rooms where prisoners may keep radios, electric fans and anything their friends and relatives send. Danny shares his room with another American "smuggler” whose parents have sent a few “modern comforts” and books for which Danny is very thankful and comfortable. But his belly is still empty.

A few minutes with a doctor should have suggested the cause was hypoglycemia, a blood-sugar problem. But she received hardly any time with a Health Service doctor. Instead, after being interrogated by a nurse, she was sent without examination to take a painful and expensive series of tests at an outside lab. An examination would have revealed that she is a slender young woman with unusually thin and tough veins. Drawing a blood sample is an ordeal for such people. Drawing ten samples from one or two sites over a period of 6 hours can verge on the sadistic. Yet it was ordered without examination and without recognition of the problems being created. Kven the lab personnel were surprised. When she reported back, she felt her complaints were met with hostility and aloofness by the doctor who saw her. The interview struck her as a medical power trip, expecially the doctor’s refusal to release information to the patient about her condition until coaxed, and the use of a certain patronizing manner. It is likely that she was not very objective in her observations. But whether ohipynyp or not, her feelings are valid and suggest that Health Service itself might be made more responsive to student needs. Surely part of medical care has to do with inspiring patient confidence, not giving the impression that one has fallen into the hands of medical functionaries. Concerned Staff Member �by Randi Schnur Arts Editor I'm "I've gone through a big image change no longer the Virgin Mary," laughs the tall, imposing woman whose presence takes over the whole stage instantly, soothing her audience with the rich softness of her familiar voice moments after she has shocked it into a wave of wary applause with her Lily Tomlin and Marlon Brando impressions. Her own warmth and tfjat glorious voice lit up the far corners of the cavernous (nearly empty) Niagara Falls Convention Center last Wednesday night she attributes the radiance to backlighting, but it's much more than that and in spite of her entrance onto a full stage before the end unheralded of the opening act, she has everyone's full attention ... Joan Baez: front at some point in her new act. Wednesday's hour-and-a-half opened with a spot r in co-star Hoyt Axton's encore of 'The No-No Song" (which he wrote) which featured his cute little freckled kids Michael and April ("and Miss Joan Baez is gonna help us"). That auspicious beginning somehow led "Miss Baize" into "Pastures of Plenty" and within a few minutes she was hurtling through "Earth Angel," the first song she ever performed, accompanied by every facial expression she could think of so that all the photographers at her feet could use up their film and — quit clicking at her. — — wa still radiant and captivating , right away. Fifteen years after the release of her first album (which a spokesperson for Vanguard called "the highest selling individual female folk album in the history of long-playing records"), Joan Baez is still real enough to admit that she and the rest of the world have changed a great deal since the 1960's, but still good enough to hold on to us through all those changes. Revised edition The new, up-dated Joan Baez has four musicians backing her up during the second half of her show. (Twenty minutes or so of speaker-shifting separate "Joe Hill," "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" and the rest of the Greatest Hits from the band's new songs, a break even more vital psychologically than technically.) They are all very competent, as far as they go, but they are not permitted to get very far; they space themselves along the back of the stage, she stays way up in front, and the music follows from there. It is always her show which is fine; she and we're all here why know and the everybody else "new image" to which she keeps referring can't change the rules that much: she will always be a soloist. The new, up-dated, etc. also has a sense of — Boston to boogie The voice has grown stronger and mellower since the early days of Boston coffeehouses and incredible Festivals; Folk Joan's Newport three-octave vocal range now seems to be backed up by an emotional range at which the 19-year-old of that first recording never hinted. series step the of in strange Each the singer which of Child transfigurations through ballads (who used to plant herself at center stage and immediately sink into a trance, the old melodies floating up by themselves like the products of a successful seance) turned revolutionary, Earth Mother, and now star of a- five-piece folk-boogie band (interesting combination, that one) is right up — humor we never saw before. The almost mystically absorbed teenager who developed into the equally preoccupied protester of the '60's is suddenly making fun of her co-workers (explaining that she now tours with seven men, she raises her eyebrows to report that four of them are musicians, and we'll bring them on later, heh-heh"), her audience ("What do you want to hear? . . . okay, I just wanted to know if you remembered them all") and herself. Madonna sells out Kris Kristofferson's "Help Me Make It Through the Night" suddenly becomes a vehicle for self-parody: "All I'm taking is your time (and money)," she sings; and later, discussing her new album, Diamonds and Rust, she expands on that "You should all buy it, and I parenthetical ad lib and then I won't have to anymore, be broke won't do stupid things like go on the Johnny Carson — Show." Many of the old motifs still remain, though. The favorite songs are all there, including a haunting Chilean folk-song (the name, unfortunately, slipped away as soon as she mentioned it, but the melody still lingers) and the a capella "Amazing Grace," and so are the favorite messages. And so is the obsession with long fallen angel Bob Dylan; there are songs by him and about him, as well as a little more mimicry. Once called "the queen of folk music" herself, she still refers to him as "the Prince," but with bitter undertones singing of "the Washington Square days" in the new album's title track, she admits that "speaking strictly for me, we both could've died then and there." Professional image-makers notwithstanding, the "old" Joan Baez coexists with the "new" one, which is of course the natural order of things; both were equally alive throughout Wednesday's concert, and equally beautiful. And the only person who could possibly sing better than the old one is her late-model twin, which makes for some damned fine — duets. �m OFF SALE Summerfest Bunny thought it was Out of Sight-did it really happen?

I assumed it was Orchard Park H.S. as we walked across a baseball diamond and an oversized soccer field. The sun was till high in what was an unusual sky; hazy but sunny, fast moving oddly colored clouds, just enough of a breeze. "See?" boasted my friend Clem, "I told you it wasn't gonna rain!" I had been reluctant to drive all the way out there due to the chance of another rained-out show, and now, according to QFM 97, we had already missed a good chunk of Seals and Crofts, as they ended up going on first, "Concert like this doesn't get rained out two days in a row," said Clem's girlfriend Bunny. "You know, Seals and Crofts, Judy Collins, Eagles. Everybody likes them, just like they say on the radio, it's a concert for everyone. If we have any trouble with the weather, we can get the other people to sing the Rain Chant from the Woodstock movie." Clem said he was sure there were some old timers in there who would remember. As we got closer, the concrete risers on the top of each side of the stadium came into view. "Looks like they didn't sell that many tickets," I said. "There's nobody at all on those upper seats!" "Well," thought Bunny, "they don't know what they'te missing up there." Marsha and Gary I think I'm starting to remember now. . funny things were happening," said Marsha. "It seemed like, you know, the bands played for a long time but it didn't get any later and the sun never went down." "Seals and Crofts," Gary informed us, "played real nice for a while you know, real down home, I mean, but they said they had to split 'cause they were going somewhere soon." Marsha said that just before Seals and Crofts left, "these sort of big glowing frisbees, like" were hovering over the stage and that the two singers had turned into chipmunks with turtleneck varsity ' sweaters; "Then Judy Collins came on," she continued, "and she had these big weird eyes and she even sang a song about Attica. She turned into Joni Mitchell Strangely quiet "I’d like to know what I'm missing," I replied, puzzled at not hearing any signs of Seals or Crofts coming out of the stadium. "You won't know till you're inside," said Clem. "They’re not one of your damn rock groups. You have to be right up front to enjoy it." I wondered about how they would sound from the opposite end of Rich Stadium as we walked through an unmanned gate in a new snow fence, presumably there to keep us from trampling the grass. Only football fans can trample the grass," said Clem There were no security men at the gate hut we guessed that everybody was Inside and at a concert this mellow, there would be no need for a lot of security. Then we gazed with disbelief at the turnstyles, as there was no one there to even take tickets. We started to move quickly into the stadium, by this time quite alarmed by the fact that we had not seen another soul since ciossmg the baseball diamond. "It's just like Woodstock!" exclaimed Bunny "They're letting people in free." "It sure is_," I added, thinking that the Eagles had not even existed in 1969, yet they were now being billed above two established folk artists, coming recently from nowhere with a string of hit records. We walked quickly past the empty concession stands, lights still on, hot. dogs still turning, backpacks leaning up against the walls, and ran down the steps to the empty field.

Not off season empty, the nightgame floodlights were on and there were — blankets all over the plastic covered plastic football field. Moving toward the stage, we saw the signs of a very recent exodus thousands of still-burning joints and cigarettes; puddles of overturned wine and beer. The little red lights in the amplifiers were still on and a 60-cycle hum buzzed out of the loudspeakers. "Wow!" said Clem, "they all just floated away, — who's that?" A girl underneath the stage was shaking a prone figure, apparently only slightly less conscious than herself. "What's going on here?" demanded Bunny, unable to think of anything else. The girl, joined by her revived friend Gary, said they had been doing Quaaludes all afternoon and had "sort of, like dozed off" during the set by the Eagles, which didn't make any sense, since the Hey iBMf W explained that, while the first two acts had been very warm and entertaining, Dan Fogelberg just didn't excite him that much: "Like he played too long, you know? "Then the Eagles came on and played a lot of their songs they sounded just like their records, you know, they've got all these guitar players and they sing harmony and all that." — A very important announcement Gary and Marsha said that when the Eagles came on, so did the stadium lights and the police began trying to make everybody take off their clothes and smoke joints. "Then one of the group announced that he was 'proud to announce in conjunction with QFM 97 that all 18,000 people here were to be transported to the Eagles' home planet.' We freaked and hid under the stage," Marsha related. The two explained how they then felt some sort of force pulling them up toward the glowing objects, but hit their heads under the stage and passed out, hearing something they thought sounded like CSNV singing '49 Bye Byes,' but they couldn't be sure. We gave Gary and Marsha a lift back to town and noticed that QFM 97 was no longer on the air, but by switching around on the radio we heard songs by all of the groups, and one by Alvin and the Chipmunks. The two said they were glad they didn't leave with the Eagles like everyone else did, because they had classes in the morning. We all agreed that it was the best concert we had seen, especially Bunny, who thought that it was Out of Sight. As this goes to print, there has been no mention of a concert or a mass disappearance in the papers, and the police deny that there was anyone in Rich Stadium that night.

It is a fine little story about Mr. and Mrs. Hattori, who were gradually ruined by Mr. Hattori's appetite for gambling at the "Brown House." As one of the characters in the story says of the Japanese, "he knew no race so cleanly, so well-mannered, so downright nice." The Hattori's live with their defeat but "The Brown House" is not really about gambling at all, but about Japanese fathers and their fatal weaknesses of character. Most of the other stories (and the play as well) show Asian-Americans escaping from their weak fathers or from their own closer to earth. 3) The main idea was to publish a "reader" every an anthology of third-world American prose year and poetry which was not screened by professors and white editors first.

She is a Lagun Pueblo Indian now living in Alaska. She also writes the copy which accompanies Aaron Yava's sketches. Her and contempt for whites is as direct as a punch about as useful; "If anyone is doomed, it is its own Anglo-Saxon America glutted with complicity in mass executions, rotted with guilt and self'hatred. Their art is the art of a dying culture — effete Omnipotent Administrator stereotypical types or macho-bastard jocks. The film's view of the future of mankind is bleak and by implication, its present mankind's view of potential isn't any better. Unfortunately, this rather perverse message is contained in a technically excellent film. The when it isn't photography, recording the games, is often beautiful. It is in the acting and directing that questions arise. Now, both James Caan as the star athlete, Jonathan E., and John Houseman as the Rollerball Director do good out of bringing stock jobs characters. Whether this is good or bad depends on how much one likes stock characters. As for the other stand actors out - - too weak to confront this truth sterile and flaccid about Anglo-Saxon America." Her story is very powerful and well-written because she speaks in pictures which give everybody a chance. Everywhere else she is tooting a kazoo. - 15) "Jackrabbit," a story by Jeffery Paul Chan, attempts a direct confrontation between an old Chinese man and his new counter part. The old man was born in China and dreams of going back there or at least of going back to San Francisco's but his young companion was born Chinatown and bred in Nevada and is all Chinese cowboy whoring, drunken, inarticulate, weaker than his strongest fantasy.

As for director just what was Norman Jewison he trmg to do in making this film? Were it not for the absurd level of violence and gore, this would be a rather good film. However, violence and gore are so pervasive that they destroy whatever value the film may have had as a look at the future or as a satire on sports violence in today's world. It becomes instead a paean to all that is ugly in the human spirit, and it is in this context that it must be considered. Rot terbat! is now playing at the Plaza North Theater in Amherst.

The interviews are another form. The first of these interviews comes in three parts ("The Early Years 1899 1936," "The Marriage," "1941-1970"), all having to do with the life of James Wong Howe "as told to Frank Chin." Jimmy Howe (as he likes to be called) is the famous Hollywood “cameraman with the eye for things phsyical." He has 123 films to his credit, including Hud, Picnic and The Old Man and the Sea. He started shooting in 1921. He is tough-mouthed, ungrammatical, and wholly fascinating.

One time only does this work and only because it is supposed to: in Wing Tek Lum's "A Picture of My Mother's Family," a picture of words follows and expands on an actual picture (circa 1915), figure by figure.

William and Joyce Wong, the interviewers, say that "he displays a bitterness that is indeed incongruous with the serenity of his surroundings ..." I am not convinced. The interview is poorly edited and its value as a document (for the Combined Asian-American Research Project) is doubtful. For example, Gary explains what he did as a houseboy thirty or more years before; "Saturday cleaned house. Evening I prepare supper.

The Spectrum Page seven . �World-famous Bolshoi Ballet at the Artpark Noble and world-famous, the Bolshoi Ballet has humble origins. They're so humble, in fact, that its rise almost qualifies as a typical American success story. Still, since it's the rise of a group rather than an individual, perhaps the story sounds more Russian, really, than American. In 1780, The Magic School was presented by a group of ballet students drawn from the Moscow Orphanage. The group had been formed just seven years before by Filippo Beccari, a former dancer in St. Petersburg's Imperial Russian Ballet. It was Leopold Paradis, Beccari's who led the orphans in The Magic School, replacement, their initial production. Since that first ballet, there have been many surprises for the orphans and their successors. In the early 1800's, for example, a horrible fire destroyed the Ballet's original performance house; the Petrovsky theater. When it was. rebuilt, both it and the Ballet were renamed "Bolshoi," which means "big" as in "Bolshevik" ("the majority"). Just how the Bolshoi Ballet ended up in the Buffalo area last week is perhaps best left a mystery. Buffalo or even Lewiston's Artpark (where the Bolshoi performed) have never exactly been Meccas for dance, although Artpark has scheduled some fine dance companies a bit later this summer. The Bolshoi performed Giselle on July 12 and 13. Spartacus also was performed on July 13 and on July 14, the night I was there. - — through the intermissions. One feels especially like a clod plodding through the crowds to get a drink or a breath of fresh air before the next act starts. Credits Spartacus has music by Aram Khatchaturian and a revised by Vuri Grigorovich, story by Nikolai Volkov who was also the choreographer. Simon Virsaladze is the designer, Algis Zhyuraitis, the conductor. On the two nights Spartacus was performed, the casts varied. On July 14, Vladimir Vasiliev played Spartacus, hero and leader of the valiant revolutionaries. Natalia Bessmertnova played Phrygia, his wife. A crazy demonic performance by Boris Akimov created Crassus, Spartacus' adversary. Crassus' concubine, Aegina, yvas played by — At Artpark Bumping, halting, and jerking along an assortment of highways and parkways for almost an hour is the first step you take when you go to Artpark. After that, you scuffle through the gravel parking lot and clop your way down the Art-El, a kind of functional boardwalk that takes you from the parking lot to the theater area. Once you're seated and the ballet begins, the mood abruptly shifts. There is nothing gawky and, incidently, nothing "realistic" (except, of course, one's emotions). The Bolshoi's Spartacus is a highly-stylized historical ballet placed in Acient Rome telling the story of Spartacus, a revolutionary leader. Another wordly atmosphere gusts in with the orchestra's first notes; an atmosphere of total control and grace that is somehow partially sustained CASH FOUND on campus week of 7/21. Identify by amount and location, date lost at Prof. Trice X5302. Tatiana Golikova. Remember It's not hard to recall high points in the evening, although it must be remembered that they occur emphatically in context, as peaks of an immanent, sustained mood. In act three, Aegina did a'scene with a spear which was the most erotic dance I have ever seen. Her dancing vamped the way Mae West's words used to. At another point, Spartacus was defeated by Crassus' forces. They carried the gleeding Spartacus downstage, their bulky shields and, lithe bodies concealing him from the audience. Then, suddenly, as the orchestra struck a loud minor chord and harsh light fell on his figure, Spartacus was thrust upward, stabbed by an infinity of spears. Incredibly, the audience met the scene with applause; a gasp or a shriek might have been more to the point. Space There've been a lot of Soviets around, lately. Both the Bolshoi Ballet and Opera are on tour in the country. Even pop culture has been affected. Woody Allen's new movie, Love and Death, is set in a fictionalized 18th Century Russia. Still, despite all this and such cosmic oneviight stands as the recent international outer space crew, I don't think they'll ever really understand each other, that Mother —Jay Boyar Russia and this Uncle Sam.

If you had met him, Brezhnev might have disapproved” Newspaper Editor's note: The following is a Guest Opinion submitted by Charles Reitz, one of ten students arrested during the April 25 demonstration at Hayes Hall. Mr. Reitz was found innocent last week in City Court of charges of third degree assault, obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest. by Charles Reitz Thus far five of the UB Ten have been exonerated of all charges lodged against them by Campus Security in City Court. The remaining five have yet to come to trial, but unless the cops become more adept at framing students, there is little reason to believe that any of them will be convicted of anything either. This is because no students were guilty of assault; no students were guilty of criminal mischief or criminal trespassing; no students were guilty of obstructing or resisting arrest. No students were guilty of anything. We had been engaged in a militant and spirited, yet highly disciplined and orderly demonstration, that simply proved to be politically intolerable to the administration. In a fit of nervous frustration they issued their ultimatums, sent in their cops, bellowed mightily to the press and mobilized their courts against us. But we seem to be weathering their stormy attacks quite well. (either intentionally or After Security unintentionally) bashed the window in upon us, I was personally seized, beaten, bloodied and dragged to a patrol car before a large crowd in back of Hayes. Other demonstrators (notably Ismael Gonzalez and Elliott Sharp) were less visably made the objects of police violence, before also being jailed and then hauled into court on assault charges. the press by campus Stories fed to administrators and security personnel included tales of ice pick wounds, stabbings with screw drivers and shards of glass, innumerable facial lacerations attributed to an “implosion” of flying glass, and “weapons” we supposedly held in reserve, including chains studded with bolts and cans of spray paint. Seven Security Guards were supposedly treated at local hospitals, yet no medical records documenting these “injuries” have been presented in any of the trials to date! Ismael was accused of punching in the window and causing glass to cut Security Officer Charles Scripp on the nose, but the judge was forced to dismiss the charge because of impossibly wide gaps in the prosecution’s case. Other officers claimed that I knocked the window in, but even the DA (prosecuting attorney) the acknowledge eyewitness and had to photographic evidence that indeed Security caused the window to break, and dropped that charge against me at the outset of my trial. Campus Security Officer Gary Kalisz claimed that I picked up a piece of glass (one foot long and an inch and a half wide), and “brandished it threateningly” at his abdomen eventually cutting him in the forearm. Yet this, and most of the rest of his testimony, was shown to be a complete off-the-wall fabrication contradicting not only the facts of the matter (as — Syndicate. 1ST* attested to by the legal observer at the demonstration), but also his prior sworn statements to the campus tribunal last May. His lies were so obvious that any jury would, have been hard-pressed to find him credible. State University Chancellor Ernest Boyer, to whom the Student Association and many other students turned for redress, simply dismissed the administration’s overt acts of political repression and police violence referring to them vaguely as “actions inconsistent with the spirit of the University.” Boyer then proceeded to rubber-stamp Ketter’s conduct, maintaining that the administration acted “within its authority” in “dealing” with the demonstration. Boyer had been confronted by outraged students at Binghamton with a student government approved resolution calling for an investigation that would determine: “whether unwarranted force was used by any of the parties involved; whether reasonable efforts were made to avoid conflict; whether there was inappropriate use of academic penalties; whether basic constitutional rights of any to concerned parties were violated;. . [and] corrective measures. recommend appropriate For whatever reasons, Boyer has neglected to respond to the gist of this resolution and has clearly abdicated any responsibility students might have thought he had to them. We would hope that the Committee of Inquiry of the Faculty Senate presently investigating this affair has more integrity than either Ketter or Boyer have displayed in their evaluation of events. In addition to our suspensions and being physically banned from campus, the administration threw these City Court proceedings at us to further obstruct the building of the Attica resistance. It hoped to accomplish through legal harassment, what its police violence and political vetos could not. It is true that our expenditures of time, money and energy in defending ourselves against these legal attacks have been considerable, but at the same time many new people have become involved in the struggle, providing material and moral support. We are stronger today than ever. We learned a year ago, when we saw Kalisz and another campus cop drag the BSU president into City Court on assault charges just after the BSU had been involved in a Hayes Hall confrontation with the administration, that lying in court is part of a Security Officer’s job. The BSU president was acquitted then, just as out of the utter we have been acquitted now of the prosecution’s case, but the weakness administration exacted a minor political reward despite our acquittals. None of us feel grateful to the “generosity” of the judges or jurors for having found us not guilty, for the whole procedure to even that outcome was calculatedly punitive. We remember too how Dacajeweiah and Charley Joe Pernasalice were convicted despite overwhelming evidence in their favor. There is little left of any of the illusions of “justice” or “democracy” that any of us might have . ... — had.

When asked about his political views, he smiled and said, “Here is you where and I become enemies.” Tiny is a strong don’t get hit.” Although the image was there for some time, the name Tiny Tim was not contrived until 1961, by one of Tiny’s former managers. “By 1963, the name caught on so much, that I couldn’t change it.” Tiny’s real name, Herbert Buckingham Quarry, had already been Larry Love in the 50’s and Darry Dover in the 60’s.- of American supporter involvement in Southeast Asia, believes former President Richard Nixon was justified in his Watergate activities, and that it is “ridiculious” for this country to look into recent CIA activities. He believes that both spying and Nixon are necessary to keep the nation strong and prevent The communist infiltration. problem with the United States now, according to Tiny, is that there is no strong leadership. “Too many leaders are giving into youth even in the colleges.” Tiny. would like to see John Glenn become President because of his involvement in the space program. “I believe the first answer to the state of the economy is to get on with the space program. There are plenty of jobs and availability in space. America is the only country blessed with God’s grace because we gave him credit on the dollar Who’s he kidding? During the 60’s Tiny said he formed close friendships with well known performers who tried to aid his career. He described Lenny Bruce as a “great friend back in ’64” who tried to help him out by using the slogan “Lenny Bruce plays for profit, Tiny Tim sings for love,” to advertise his shows. Brice Lenny “Unfortunately, didn’t live long enough to see me succeed,” Tiny noted. In 1966, Tiny met Bob Dylan, who later invited him to his home in Woodstock and gave him advice on making it as a singer. Tiny’s real break came in 1967 when he was discovered at The Scene, a discoteque in New York City, by M.O. Osten, chairman of Reprise Records. Tiny pinpoints the height of his short-lived fame in 1968. His worst slump came in the middle of 1969. “The work got lower. I started going away from big concert halls in Vegas to small clubs in Jersey and Brooklyn. By 1970, I had to perform in places like Guam and the Philippines. Basically, I got jobs in ‘the sticks’ where you normally work when you’re coming up.” “Before I made it, 1 predicted that 1 would make it big and then go into a drastic slump. Every entertainer goes into a slump. It’s a part of life, like in Wall Street where you have your ups and downs. In this case it happened with a complete bankruptcy.

No plans Tiny has no immediate plans for the future except to continue performing as long as he can. Asked whether he would consider ' making the college circuits, he responded, “I’d love to do that,” adding that he already auditioned for college talent buyers but received no response. “Maybe they feel colleges won’t go for me, 1 don’t know.” Although Tiny is optimistic that he will once again have the “fame and fortune” of the late 60’s, he still looks back at his past nostalgically. “I was lucky and fortunate to have made it. It was like a trip for me. Everytime 1 pass through Hollywood, even now, 1 feel the great years of ’68 and ’69.” Texas Rangers fire Martin celebrated one-punch knockout of pitcher Dick outside a bar one night.

I Despite this report, Fogel and other administrators, including Executive Vice President Albert Somit, still refuse to confirm reports that thfe S288.000 proposed reduction in the Faculty of Health Sciences budget for 1976-77 will eliminate state funding of coaches’ salaries. Until personnel likely to be affected are notified, there will be no official announcements from the University, Somit said. That notification Is likely to come this week or early next week, he explained. ■ . - Breaking the news. Harry Fritz, Dean of the School of Health Education, said Tuesday that he still had not been officially informed of Health Sciences’ plan to slash athletics, notification “one way or the other” sometime this week. Fritz feels the possible mandatory student athletic fee “thoroughly refutes the educational and developmental aspects of properly conducted intercollegiate athletics programs for all participants.” Imposing an additional student fee for coaching salaries [which would cost students $130,000 per year] would seem to be a shirking of state responsibility to pay its faculty,” he said. “We cannot hope to operate a reputable intercollegiate athletic program under these circumstances,” Fritz warned. “The likelihood of attracting competent, career educator/coaches into a program with salaries funded by student fees is remote. “There would be fears of job health benefits, retirement securities, tenurej and other benefits under such funding,” he stated. SA opposition “We are against any plan to increase the already high costs of getting a college education and therefore oppose any form of student funding of athletic coaches' salaries,” Student Association (SA) President Michele Smith said upon learning of Fogel’s comment. She indicated, however, that the University will probably request the mandatory fee next week when it submits its proposals for next year’s budget to SUNY officials in Albany. The Spectrum learned of specific plans to decrease the 1976-77 budget from confidential documents from the office of President Robert Ketter last week. According to proposals, $1,150,000 in total cuts will have to be implemented for that fiscal year. Of that figure, the Faculty of Health Sciences, which finances the athletic coaches’ salaries, was slated for a $288,000 reduction. In order to partially achieve the cut, the proposal specifies that>the Sciences of Health Faculty “assumes” that the portion of its budget which has been used towards funding intercollegiates and intramurals “will be supported henceforth by non-state funds.” Farmingdale and Binghamton Clifton Thome, State University of New York (SUNY) Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, said SUNY officials in have thus far received no Chnrloc ruyei Fnnt>l word on the proposed student fee However, concerned students at other SUNY campuses, including Farmingdale and Binghamton, have reported similar situations on their campuses, Thome said. “Any proposed fee has to be submitted to the Vice Chancellor for Finance and Business [Harry Spindler]Thorne said, and then approved by the Board of Trustees. “But the Trustees have a Arm policy limiting the cost of students’ college expenses above and beyond tuition and the existing mandatory fees, and they insist that we examine the situation closely before increasing any of those expenses,” Thorne said. Bill Anslow, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance Bill, concurred with Thome, but added that if this campus wanted to institute a new mandatory fee, or adjust the old one, such an action would be legal if it complied with University Guidelines on Mandatory Student Fees, and did not exceed a $70 ceiling mandated by the Board of Trustees. Environmental threat Destruction of ozone layer may jeopardize life on earth Editor's note: This is the first in a series of articles on the dangers to the ozone layer of the atmosphere. by Doug Fontein and Deborah Baldwin •if A great deal ol controversy has arisen recently ovfcr the effects of various chemical compounds on the ozone layer of the atmosphere. In the past, the ozone problem had not been clearcut. since different reports and research projects contained conflicting evidence. But with more sophisticated and extensive analysis, it is becoming evident that fluorocarbons in aerosols, nitrogen oxides from nuclear bombs and supersonic transports (SST's) and subsonic aircraft flying in the stratosphere, and hydrochloric acid from the U S. space shuttle all destroy ozone and that this, jn turn, has adverse effects on the earth’s biota. So far, however, the government has done little oppose the aerosol, space, or aircraft industries by regulating or limiting dangerous chemicals which enter the ozone layer. And, the general public has not been sufficiently aroused to believe that our lives depend on an invisible chemical 15 miles above the earth which is mysteriously eroded by airplanes, spray cans, spaceships, and bombs. to Essential to life The ozone layer in the upper atmosphere is essential to life on earth; it is believed that life didn’t form here until the ozone shield glided into place. It protects the earth’s surface from the most damaging wave lengths of ultraviolet light which, if unfiltered, would destroy DNA molecules, the basic building blocks of life. Even when the ozone layer is only'slightly depleted, H allows a much greater percentage of damaging ultraviolet light to enter the atmosphere. Effects of large scale qzone depletion would increase skin cancer and sunburn in humans, change behavior of insects and possibly other species, damage plant life and micro-organisims, and alter the world’s weather patterns. A sudden drastic drop in ozone would destroy all life on earth by killing vital links in the world’s ecosystems. Ozone depletion could destroy plankton, tiny animals in the sea which are the basis for the entire food chain. Or it could dripple world agriculture through crop damage from radiation and climatic changes. Effects irreversible The threat of skin cancer alone is quite serious When a given percentage of ozone is depleted, the corresponding increase in skin cancer is from two to three times that percentage (some estimates are even higher). Furthermore, many scientists see the effects, of ozone depletion as irreversible because natural ozone replenishment takes an extremely long time compared to the extremely short time it takes for man-made chemicals to destroy it. Alre&dy, minute depletions in the ozone layer have been linked to a steady increase in the incidence of skin cancer and sunburn in humans. Exposure to ultraviolet rays' depends largely upon geographical differences; while there are several factors involved, a recent study of 4he ozone problem commissioned by the Department of Transportation concluded that the chief factor is increased amounts of ozone in the stratosphe r e above higher latitudes. Thus, on the average there is 30 percent more ozone over Minnesota than over Texas and there are correspondingly more skin cancer cases in the southern US. than in the North. Structural change Ozone is unlike the oxygen we breathe because it is made of three instead of two atoms. It is formed 10 to 30 miles aloft in the lower stratosphere when intense sunlight splits oxygen moleculres (0 2 ) and the separate atoms unite with other oxygen molecules to form ozone (0 3 ). There are four primary causes of ozone depletion. The US. space shuttle, an experimental satellite program started by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 1970 will release 69 metric tons of hydrochloric acid in the stratosphere during each flight. Hydrochloric acid breaks down, forms chlorine, and destroys ozone. The nuclear bomb, which may someday destroy the entire earth, poses another catastrophic threat. If an all-out nuclear war were to occur, it would reduce the ozone layej by as much as 75 percent, according to Defense Department studies. But contrary to Defense Department interpretations, experts outside the government maintain that this would be enough to endanger the existence of all life on earth. * Nuclear dangers A nuclear bomb larger than about one-half megaton (equal in strength to one-half million tons of TNT), forms a hot, mushrooming cloud that generates oxides of nitrogen. The cloud rises to the stratosphere, where nitrogen oxides react catalytically to destroy ozone. One nitrogen —continued on page 4— �Broken treaty?

Seneca THE "BEEF" BURNS - Flame* ripped through the roof of the popular Beef and Ale House at 3199 Main Street last Friday as a large crowd of onlookers watched firemen battle the 3-alarm blaze for over an hour. Damage was estimated at $20,000 to the building and $7,000 to the contents. The cause was listed as arson and fire investigators reported finding empty gasoline cans and oil-soaked rags stuffed into the kitchen stove. "The Beef." as it is affectionately called by the many students who often pack into its premises on weekend evenings, has been the victim of right fires in the last five months. The building, owned by Joseph Snodgras, is now closed for renovations. Final passage Student to join SUNY Board by Laura Bartlett Campus Editor of SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer and the SUNY Bbard of Trustees. In addition, the Trustees reportedly prepared a substitute proposal, which would have added “a recent SUNY alumnus” to the Board, instead of a current SASU according to student, President Bob Kirkpatrick. The bill was sponsored in the Senate by 40 of the 60 members. Chief sponsor Joseph Pisani (R.C.—New Rochelle) praised the student organizations’ efforts. “I think it’s great!” he said in reaction to the bill’s decisive passage. “The students persevered, they kept their cool, and they argued on the philosophy and logic of the bill.” Asked if he thought the hundreds of letters and telegrams from individual SUNY students had any effect, Pisani replied, “I think they had some measure of importance” in the eventual success of the bill. The bill to add a non-voting student member to the State University (SUNY) Board of Trustees and to each local university and college board of directors was approved last week when the State Senate passed the measure by a vote of 55-1. The State Assembly already passed the bill last month 146-2. Governor Hugh Carey, who pledged support to the bill during his campaign, is expected to sign the legislation into law sometime next week. Most of the lobbying for the bill was done by members of the Student Association of the State University (SASU) and the City University Student Senate (CUSS). Lobbyists from the two student organizations stepped up their Efforts in response to strong opposition and counter-lobbying by the SUNY Board of Trustees, ■members of the SUNY college A ‘first’ SASU spokespersons were councils, and the community particularly gratified by the bill’s boards of trustees. college passage because, although almost a dozen states have passed similar Letters and telegrams Letter writing and telegram legislation, this marks the first campaigns were launched by time such a bill has been pushed SASU and CUSS to persuade through a state legislature in the Chairperson Warren Anderson to face of such strong opposition place the bill on the agenda of the from state university trustees.

Unique perspective The bill’s supporters argued that only “a student selected by students” could truly present the unique student perspective during the deliberations of these boards. SASU’s answer to the second objection was attached to the bill and read, “This minimum voter turnout requirement is unfair to apply only to student elections. If the legislature wishes to impose a 40 percent turnout requirement on student elections, it should apply to all other elections, the including those for legislature.” It also pointed out that the turnout for New York City community school board elections was less than 15%. The bill’s passage was largely due to vigorous support from State Republican Chairperson Richard Rosenbaum, Governor Carey, and the leaders of both parties in the Senate, according to Kirkpatrick. « Psychomat Psychomat will hold a workshop for people interested in becoming part of the group this fall or just experiencing open and honest communication for the day.

Kennedy was brought before' Justice John Abramo of the Brant Town Courthouse that same afternoon for arraignment. She was charged with reckless endangerment and attempted murder. Bail was set at $35,000. Since she could not afford the bail, Kennedy was held at the Erie County Holding Center until January 15 when the County Court reduced bail to $2500, and she could raise the money to be released, according to Justice Abramo. On March 6, her charges were reduced to reckless endangerment and menacing, he added. Quinn explained that he has already contacted the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Justice Department in Washington and the offices of Senator Henry Jackson (D.-Washington) and Senator Abacarus in an attempt to get his client’s case before the President’s office. Justice Department In a telephone interview with Martin Seneca, chairman of the Committee of Trusts and Responsibilities for the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Seneca said he informed Quinn that before a case of this sort could reach the President, it would have to be referred to the Justice Department and Senator Jackson’s office. Jim Schermerhom, Deputy Director of the Office of Indian Rights of the Justice Department, stated that New York State did —Santos Seneca Indian Mariana Kennedy announces her demand that her case be brought before President Gerald Ford under the jurisdiction of a treaty signed by the United States in the 1880's, which recognized the Senecas as a sovreign nation.

Kennedy told The Spectrum she did not know what her next action would be if the responses from Washington were not favorable. Meanwhile, Quinn has charged that his client’s rights have been violated by the District Attorney Edward Cosgrove’s office. He contends that the grand jury met secretly on March 6 to investigate Kennedy's case. He said he received this information from “an attorney” but refused to reveal the attorney’s name. However, Peter Koushoian, assistant to the district attorney, denied this. The order to put the case before the grand jury was rescinded by Judge John Doere who ordered that the complaint be returned to the local courts, according to Mr. Koushoian. Mr. Quinn has also charged with intimidating Cosgrove who considered attorneys accepting Kennedy’s defense.

According to Stephen Dunnet, University as members of the director of the Institute, for the Language Intensive English Institute (IELI) program. The past two years, the program here program offers concentrated has had the highest rating in the tutoring in English as a foreign country. The lELI’s success has language, and provides general attracted the attention of foreign acculturation guidance for governments and international aid growing numbers of international agencies, such as UNESCO and the Fulbright Commission. “We students. The IELI was formed in 1971 have contracts with the State Officer fails to prove allegations against Reitz by Dana Dubbs Spectrum Staff Writer The trial of Charles Reitz, one of the ten students arrested during last the April 25 demonstration at Hayes Hall, ended in acquittal Tuesday in City Court after forty minutes of deliberation by a six-member, all-woman jury. Reitz was found innocent of charges of third degree assault, obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest. A charge of criminal mischief was dropped by the prosecution before the trial, Judge and an additional charge of criminal trespass was dismissed by Sam Green for lack of evidence. The trial began the previous Wednesday as the prosecution set out to prove allegations by Campus Security Officer Gary Kalisz that Reitz had cut Kalisz’s arm with a piece of glass, interfered with the arrest of another student, and punched, kicked and bit at the time of his arrest. On the witness stand, Kalisz gave the following account of the arrest: After the window in the door to the presidential suite was broken, Kalisz came through the door and with his lett hand, grabbed Paul Ginsberg, another student arrested that morning, and began chasing Reitz downstairs. Reitz turned* picked up a foot-long piese of glass which he used to threaten Kalisz and cut him on the left arm. Kalisz also stated that Ginsberg, whom he was still holding, interfered with Reitz’ arrest while Reitz simultaneously interfered with Ginsberg’s arrest. However, testifying on his own behalf, Reitz offered this version * of the arrest as a rebuttal: After the window in the door had shattered, Reitz was grabbed through the window by Kalisz, Assistant Director of Campus Security Lee Griffin, and Officer Gerald Denny. Denny, who was holding a nightstick, then clubbed Reitz on the shoulders. The other officers were pulling Reitz by the collar and succeeded in dragging his coat over his head. behind, Reitz was then grabbed by both ankles by someone from dragged down some steps to the landing just inside the exit door, and brought beaten. He was then locked into two pairs of handcuffs and outside. The defense produced photographs of officers positioned with their knees on Reitz’ head and others which showed cuts and bruises on Reitz’s body. Gene Rauhala, a law student who acted as a legal observer during demonstration, and who said he was standing no more than three the feet from the dpor to the presidential suite, testified earlier that although Reitz was being struck with nightsticks about the head and neck, he offered no resistance In his testimony, Reitz contended that at no point was he asked to present an ID card to the Campus Security officers. A warning statement read prior to the arrests had provided that all demonstrators would be afforded the opportunity to identify themselves. President Robert Ketter, a prosecution witness, said the warning was intended to distinguish treatment of students and non-students. According to the statement, outsiders, not students, would be arrested for criminal trespass. Judge Green cited Ketter’s testimony as a partial basis for dismissing the charge later. Both Ketter, who wrote the warning statement, and Vice-President for Student Affairs Richard Siggelkow, who read the statement to the demonstrating students in Hayes Hall, insisted that the statement was clear in communicating the intentions of the University administration to the demonstrators. In his summation, defense attorney Leonard Klaif told the jury that the testimony given by Kalisz was a “stench of a lie” and that the descriptions offered by Reitz and Rauhala had the “ring of truth.” Crowe, on the qther hand, charged that Reitz had reason to lie and and maintained that Kalisz was just a cop doing his duty. He lie, did added that it was incredible that Reitz was beaten and offered no resistance Tl)e not guilty verdict was met by cheering and applause from the spectators. Afterwards, the jury forewoman told the defense team that the case “should hever have come to court.” “Being acquitted isn’t that much of a victory since we were all innocent to begin with,” Reitz commented after the verdict. ‘The courts were used as a weapon against us.,Even though all they had were outright lies that were destined not to hold up, so it cost a lot in terms of time and money. Its not busting down the Attica resistance, its building it up.” >• Because of the failure to obtain any Convictions in the prosecution of the UB Ten thus far, Crowe will be meeting with his superiors and administration officials to discuss the possibility of dropping the charges against the remaining students.

Upon completion of the program, students must pass the TOEFL exam since U.S. universities high scores as a require prerequisite for entrance. The grades range from average 500-600. Depending on the type of degree the applicant wishes to pursue, however, the grade levels become flexible.

Ozone... —continued from page moiocule can react with and destroy thousands of ozone molecules before becoming ineffective. According to Harold Johnston of the University of California at Berkeley, the first atmospheric scientist to sound the alarm on the SST’s effect on ozone, nuclear tests by the U5. and the U.S.S.R. in 1961 and 1962 (immediately before the limited nuclear test ban treaty went into effect) resulted in a four percent loss of the earth’s ozone layer. China and France, both who have the bomb and didn’t sign the treaty, have exploded nuclear devices as recently as last year. Scientists have known for some time that SST exaust emissions pose a serious threat. Flying in the ozone-laden lower stratosphere, they release nitrogen oxides similar to the nuclear bomb’s as a result of extremely high combustion temperatures within the jet engine. SST emissions In 1971, Johnston alerted the science world that SST emissions would eat away ozone by catalytically splitting ozone molecules into oxygen and he was instrumental in convincing Congress to shelve proposals to {mild a fleet of the supersonic jets here. However, both France and Britain have committed themselves to the SST and now have a fleet of Concorde jets they would like to fly into the U.S. The U.S.S.R. has also begun construction of a fleet of Tu-144 SSTs. According to a March 1975 report by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), a fleet of 300-400 SSTs would decrease ozone by 10 percent. The report also concluded that unpredictable changes in rainfall and surface temperatures might occur, and added that, “Sufficient knowledge is at hand to warrant the utmost concern over detramental effects of large numbers of supersonic aircraft.” Nevertheless, the Air Force would like to build a fleet of supersonic B-l bombers which would have predictably adverse effects on ozone.

The preliminary results indicate that not only do future numbers of SSTs pose a problem, but .that increasing numbers of subsonic jets are taking their toll on the ozone layer (although the government’s belief is that there will be no impact if flights remain limited and proper engine technology is applied). The final report has yet to be released to the public. The executive summary, released in December, emphasizes the fact that the present fleet of 30 Concorde-type SSTs will have relatively little effect on ozone, but fails to stress the dangers of a projected rise in international use of the SST. Johnston, who released an overview of the DOT report, said the conclusions didn’t clearly outline the hazards involved. “It has evaded giving a clear, candid statement of its own findings.” Flurocarbons, also called halomethenes and chlorofluoromehtanes, are already a significant enemy of the ozone layer. They arc released from aerosol spray cans most notably, and are also used in air conditioning and refrigeration units. (Although in the latter case flurocarbons are not emitted during normal use, they do escape either from leakage or after a cooling unit has been thrown out.) Dangerously stable Fluorocarbons, more commonly known as Freons (a tradename of the E.I. du Pont de Nemours Company) first came into use after World War II. They are extremely well suited as aerosol propellants because they are odorless, colorless, inert, and stable. In fact, it is their very stability that makes them so potent. Rising through the 15-mile-high atmosphere at a snail’s pace, they gradually ascend to the stratosphere. There, it is believed, the fluorocarbon molecule reacts to solar radiation, breaks down, and releases chlorine, a catalytic agent that erodes ozone at the rate of some 10,000 ozone molecules for each chlorine atom. .. .

The progressive officers of the Armed Forces Movement overthrew the right-wing Salazar dictatorship last April 25, 1974 after nearly 50 years of fascist rule. In less than a year and a half, the left-wing coalition government has had to block three attempts of counter-revolution and is facing increased tension at the present time. Under the Salazar regime, the Portugese suffered a high rate of illiteracy, substandard wages, unemployment, exploitation at the hands''of foreign monopolies, political repression, lack of adequate health care and a lack of basic Additionally, democratic rights. the economy and youth suffered due to Portugal’s colonial wars in three African nations, which resulted in terrible suffering for these African peoples. Popular support Additionally, Republica editor, Rego, was economy. Much of this activity appears to be similar to events that took place in Chile shortly before the legally elected government of Salvadore Allende was violently overthrown by right-wing forces, supported by the CIA. CIA involvement? Some political observers suggest that the CIA may be involved in the disruptive activities in Portugal today. Portugal is not new territory for the CIA. Victor Marchetti 'cMoppy the Information Minister under .Spinola. With a coalition government committed to developing socialism in Portugal, these recent revelations place the Socialist Party in an awkward position. While Socialist Monopolies nationalized After the Armed Forces Movement took power, with tremendous support from broad sectors of the Portugese people, they put an end to the colonial wars, opened up basic democratic freedoms, and began the nation’s economic dealing with problems. Large monopolies and banks were nationalized, preventing some loss of capital to foreign countries and small groups of wealthy Portugese. Recently, an intensifying psychological warfare operation is underway, reports the Daily World, where forged documents were “circulated, discrediting the Arfhed' Forces Movement, Premier Vasco dos Santos Conclaves, and the Portugese Communist Party (PCP) in an attempt to split the coalition government. Other efforts have been made, according to government representatives, toward inciting the people to stage work stoppages to disrupt the Movement, the government, and the Communist Party. Lourence said that the newspaper’s distribution fell from 80,000 to 30,000 after Regq’s attack and that the worlds feared being laid off. Further, Lourdnce stated that of the 193 workers on 'Republica that are involved in the dispute with Rego, only five are members of the Communist Party; thus substantiating his no claim that the Communist party intention of taking over Republica. Finally, Lourence stated that Republica is a capitalist owned and operated paper, with a large bloc of stocks belonging to the Feteira monopoly group. Lucio Tome Feteira, fled to Brazil with former government head, General Spinola, after the failure of the March 11 coup in which Spinola was implicated. writes in The CIA and the Cult oj Intelligence, that the CIA and the U.S. State Department sold B-26 bombers to the Salazar regime in Portugal, against official U.S. regulations, for use in its colonial wars in Africa. in the fall of 1966 Marchetti claims that an English pilot John Richard Hawke, admitted in a Buffalo Federal Court that he flew B-26 Interestingly, t to the Portugal bombers under arrangements of the CIA. The CIA denied the charge, and the jury found Hawke and a middleman, Henfi Montmarin innocent of any wrongdoing . . . (the remainder of this paragraph is deleted in Marchetti’s book by the CIA-sponsored censorship). Right-wing forces Other recent events in Portugal lend credence to the charge that a well organized secret war is being conducted against the Portugese revolution. On June 30, eighty-nine former Salazar secret police mysteriously escaped from a supposedly maximum security prison, and an unexplained fire destroyed records on former secret police. Then early this week, a crowd burned the local headquarters of the Communist Party in a small Portugese town, according ‘tfOubben S^otic. oMicfcey 6 to an Associated Press release. The nationwide defense committees, that are being set up now, are made up of block clubs, workers committees and other such organizations, and appear to be similar to the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR’s) that were set up in Cuba when that country was under attack by CIA-sponsored counter-revolutionary groups in the early 1960’s. With increasing frequency, the Socialist Party (SP) has been attacking the Communists and recently withdrew from the coalition government, charging that the Communists had taken over a Socialist newspaper.

The Portugese Communist Party now appears to be the strongest party in the government, as well as the best organized and most far-sighted, and it has supported •the recent decisions of the Armed Forces Movement. Its General-Secretary, Alvaro Cunhal, 60, is one of the most dedicated revolutionaries in Portugal. Jailed numerous times for being a Communist when he was a law student at Lisbon University, Cunhal received the highest grades ever recorded. Out of jail, he worked secretly to organize a core of professional revolutionaries, a broad-based anti-fascist movement, a clandestine trade union movement, and an underground press. Unity is needed Cunhal spent nearly 40 years underground, or in exile, and eight years in solitary confinement. He escaped from the infamous Peniche prison in 1961, and rode into Lisbon to a tumultous red-banner welcome a few days after the Salazar regime was toppled in 1974. Today he is a Minister Without Portfolio in the coalition government. The Armed Forces Movement and the Communist Party are working together with the people’s mass organizations, such as the trade unions, to develop the revolution on a strong solid base. Both recognize the importance of maintaining a united movement, and the recent actions of the Socialist party can only play into the hands of those counter-revolutionary forces who arc trying to create splits in order to destroy the revolution.

Page five �But seriously students, now, weeks two faculty, and administrators have known about the general University budget cuts proposed for the 1976—77 fiscal year. For two weeks, they have known that the Faculty of Health Sciences stands to lose $288,000 if these cuts are ultimately approved by the President and SUMY officials in Albany. Yet during that period of time, University administrators have remained closed-mouthed about any and all details, thus enveloping the budget-making process in a cloud of mystery and confusion — are going to dangle the fate of worthwhile University programs on their fingertips, does not the public have a right to know what is going on? Why does this administration insist on "protecting" its constituencies from the truth if what is happening behind those locked doors in Hayes Hall is fair and above board? Several members of the University Budget Committee — Chairman Charles Fogel and Executive Vice President Albert have said that some of us' are Somit to name a few — jumping to conclusions by assuming that the proposal to turn Health Sciences' share of the intercollegiate pie (i.e, athletic coaches' salaries) over to "non-state funds" means either a mandatory student athletic fee or the death of a reputable intercollegiate program on this campus. However, given the provisional nature of these cuts, shouldn't the greatest number of people be made aware of the situation so they can bring their opinions to bear on the final decisions? What these administrators are saying is that we should not react until we know all the facts and all the alternatives. But if they refuse to fill us in on the details, we must react to what is already known Everyone by now knows that due to circumstances beyond its control, the University must make cuts totalling 1976-77. This is undoubtedly the most difficult task the University must face this year. Because of just that, the administration has a responsibility to be $1,150,000 for straightforward and honest from the start, not to be hung up on secrecy and double talk. The people who stand to be affected by drastic cuts should be a part of the decision process throughout, not the lowly victims of it in the end The Spectrum Friday, 18 July 1975 Vol. 26, No. 6 Editor-in-Chief Amy Dunkin - . and set it loose on a rabbit Susskind: What did he feed the rabbit?

Must be the season of the witch. Ah, yes Summerfest is back again. Considering the super hype-job done by Q-FM-97, one had to wonder if this could really turr) out to be as good as all the hoo-hah said it'would. A rather unlikely combination of groups; Yes, J. Geils Band, Johnny Winter, and Ace, plus a recently divorced mystery guest, would vie for the attention of forty thousand people for approximately eight and a half hours. From rags to Rich Stadium The pre-concert atmosphere was all party, waiting for the music to begin. Some groups are tailor made for outdoor rock concerts. Ace does not happen to be one of them. Graduating-from the English pub scene up into the world of American outdoor concerts is a pretty big step, and it looks as though Ace will have to wait a little longer for its diploma. Playing R&B a la mellow AWB comes out fine on record, but outdoors the sound gets lost among the multitudes waiting to boogie. They try, though. Shunning the typical English garb, they came out wearing jeans, t-shirts, and cowboy hats and boots, and opened with a country-sounding boogie tune. But they were not quite raunchy enough to set the house on fire. The rest of the set was enjoyable, though, if not mind-bending. Five songs from their album Five a Side filled thirty-five minutes, and they were finished. Audience exposure to Ace was undoubtedly limited to AM radio play, as the single "How Long" was awarded the most significant audience reaction. Winterfest Johnny Winter followed with a much livelier set which set the mood for most of the rest of the afternoon and evening. If outdoor rock concerts are made for boogying, Johnny Winter was made for outdoor rock concerts. He loves to play and have a good time! He is one of the few performers who can take energy from the audience and give it; right back, over and over again. The music and the audience become one. From the cowboy hat atop his long white locks right down to the hole in his jeans on his ass, Winter is physically all over the place. He lets you know he's having a good time simply by the way he struts and shouts through every number. Generally, long blues jams tend to put an audience to sleep, but Winter's set has to be an exception in this case. He delicately intertwines blues and rock throughout all his solos that are unmistakeably unique to each song. Playing mostly cuts from his earlier albums, plus a fine rendition of "Highway 61," Winter had everyone on their feet by the time he launched into "Jumpin' Jack Flash," the closing number. He encored with "Johnny B. Goode," leaving the crowd on its feet wondering if a set like that could ever be topped. And, he had the time of his life doing it. down at the keyboards. Wolf introduced his friend Gregg Allman, much to the delight of the crowd. He looks none the worse despite his divorce from you know who, and accompanied the band on two final numbers. ' * The J. Geils Band succeeded in topping Winter with what proved to be the hottest set all day. J. Geils plays super macho, basic, primitive rock, the kind of stuff that gets people on their feet and keeps them there. Lead singer Peter Wolf challenged the audience to get crazier than he was, setting up the crunching guitar of J. Geils and the wailing harmonica of Magic Dick. Music to throw parties by. It was apparent that the majority of the people in attendance came to see the J. Geils Band. They weren't let down, although the set lasted for only an hour. They left the stage amidst cries for much more. They encored with "Give it to Me," and introduced the mystery guest, a tall blonde man who wasn't recognized immediately. But when he sat Summerfest returns 30,000 converge on Rich Stadium to hear Yes /. , Geils, Johnny Winter, Ace and mystery guest Gregg Allman — vice versa. Steve Howe is considered one of the most gifted guitarists today from a classical standpoint. His acoustic and pedal steel work is ranked near the top, with others in his field. Chris Squire has been a pioneer in what has now become a recognizeable style of British bassists. Jon Anderson's lyrics provide a very basic foundation for the spiritual feeling prevalent in so much of their music. The success of Yessongs as a live album raised great expectations as to how much this group was capable of doing on stage, as well as curiosity as to what they actually would do. But frankly. Yes was a bit of a disappointment. With such a vast repertoire of successful music to draw upon, one wonders why Yes failed to produce a completely satisfying set. Weak keyboards The loss of Rick Wakeman seems to have the greatest bearing on this. His replacement,%£atrigk Moraz, the musical genius (?) behind the now defunct electric group Refugee, is adequate, but just barely. Like a fish out of water, he was continually lost on numbers recorded before he joined the group, "And You and I" and "Close to the Edge." Two numbers from the Relayer album, on which he appeared, were of little salvation. Moraz was stuck playing the same theme over and over again simply because he wasn't capable of playing anything else. Howe, Squire, and drummer Alan White were required to carry the group through what became tedious instrumentals, with Moraz throwing every sound possible at the audience, but still failing to supply an adequate background. Anderson temporarily rescued the evening with the opening strains of an old Yes favorite, "Your Move," followed by acoustic work from Howe and "Long Distance Runaround." The crowd sensed something of a comeback, but were let down by "Ritual" from Topographic Oceans, a lengthy piece with no real direction. » Wake up and go home' As the set closed, the audience gave an appreciative hand hoping that Yes would rise from the dead and put on a -good encore. The crowd was finally brought unanimously to its feet with "Roundabout," a classic hartd-clapping live number.. The night closed with "Sweet Dreams" from the new Yesterdays album. The crowd was ready for another encore, but there would be none due to curfew regulations. The thirty thousand who had stayed to the end dispersed after a grueling but satisfying eight and a half hours of music with promises of more to come in the near future. Promoters plan at leastthree more similar concerts before the summer is over, enough to keep the area's young people hopping for quite a while. Not bad foresight . -f -t. ’ Crazy Wolf Waiting for the electricians By the time Yes took the stage, after a delay of over an hour, the crowd had used up most of its energy, but many stayed around to hear the headliners. Despite having six out of seven gold albums. Yes has never been a group to break attendance records. Their music has been endlessly criticized for being too weird at times, and too long-winded at others. Yet, Yes is totally serious about their music, becoming completely absorbed in it. It has become the basis of their lives, and _ ;if* �� * * * Today's the day of the University's annual summer Stratford Festival Excursion to the famous theater festival in southern Ontario.

Friday, 18 July 1975 �rregidora women stops with her, with her mind and her memories. At the end of the book (21 years later since the reader takes a leap in time In Part IV) Ursa is back with Mutt. They fall into one another's arms. They are in love, after all the years and all the pain. They dpn't know why. Tadpole is the second husband. He is the perfect second husband for Ursa because he is kind and understanding ("You your own woman, Ursa") and he looks like a hero next to the jealous Mutt, who dressed up like Dick'TrpCy to push his innocent and pregnant wife down the stairs. He is a real god-damned hero: he never gets jealous, but instead waits a suitable amount of time before he cheats on her with a 15-year-old singer and before he treats her as nonchalantly and brutally as Mutt. Corregidora, it is safe to say, is about more than a blues singer in Hazard, Kentucky. It Is about all women and by extension about all men. Ursa's central problem with men is the same as that of though the any woman with any man images are different. Here: Though Ursa makes a habit of "singing to one man," she is unable to make him understand her "feeling ways" what is beneath the words. At one point she says of Tadpole, "I was thinking I'd only wanted him to love me without saying anything about it." Singing the blues is the central feminine metaphor, but for the most part this is saved from being a cliche by the understated language in which it is explained and by the spare authenticity of the barroom settings in which Ursa's blues are sung. In fact', all the places in •' i > •• - — — Our Weekly Reader Corregidora by Gayl Jones,'Random House (hard cover), 1975 To think of women in traditional literature is in large part to think of them waiting for men. Waiting is a central image. Think of it: the fair lady on the class mountain in the fairy tale waiting forthe gladhearted knight to ride cunningly uphill to the rescue; Cinderella watting to rise out of the hearth ashes become queen by force of her own virtue; Sleeping Beauty waiting in perfect slumber for the renewing kiss of the right prince. Women wait around all the time in books. It's their job. It's supposed to be (•omantic. John Keats, who liked his women to wait, put it nicely in his poem, "The Eve of St. Agnes" (which as you know is the one evening a year "Young virgins might have visions of delight" as long as they follow — the rules): Nor look behind, nor sideways, but require Of Heaven with upward eyes for all that they desire. Today, more than 150 years after those lines were written, waiting is still the main job a woman has. I don't know anything truer than that. But in and out of real life, some women are tired of waiting. Some of them write books. One of them is Gayl Jones, a young black woman, now a graduate student at Brown University, whose first novel was just published by Random House. It is called Corregidora and it is about Ursa Corregidora, a mulatto blues singer from Hazard, Kentucky. Her family history is ridden with slavery, prostitution, incest, rape, and even a touch of lesbianism. She thinks about her family history a lot. She sings the blues for a living. But like all women, she isn't sur» what men want. She has trouble with them. Sometimes, like all women, she waits. She waits for a man. remember how his shoulders felt when he was going inside me and had my hands )on his shoulders, but / also remember that was exhausted with wanting and night V waitgcMjut he didn't turn toward me and kept waiting and wanting him and I got dost to him up against his back but he still wouldn't turn to me and then / lay on my Jback and tried hard to sleep and I finally slept and in the morning / waited and still he didn't and / thought in the morning he would but he didn't and waited but the dock got him up and he went off to work and lay there still waiting. / was no longer even angry with waiting. There is a lot of fucking in this book. One critic looked at all the fucking and said it was a very "sexy" book, but actually Corregidora is not about sex at all and it is only partly about fucking. The rest of the book is about the consequences of fucking, which is to say it is about the consequences of the single human act possible between men and women that gives them any hope for understanding what the other one wants. Clearly, this book is not "sexy" at all. Much of it actually has to do with the painful limitations of sex as a means of communication. In that way it is a very sad book and the language picks up on the rhythms that come with sadness. / was struggling against him, trying to / kept fee! waht / wasn't feeling — ' . struggling with him. / made a sound in my didn't know what he wanted me to say.

So it is here: gists and piths. The '-c reader as worker. But our anonymous critic is right about one thing: Corregidora is in no. danger of becoming a "bla6k women's liberation fable" or a feminist weapon. This is true for several reasons: Lesbianism (notably v introduced through the sympathetic figure of Ursa's old friend Cat, wbo is a closet fruitcake) is presented in a negative light. For Jones, the central question comes What happens to beyond understanding the young ones? Jones sees lesbianism not as a formula for good sex, but only as a kind of elaborate and complicated form of masturbation. Corregidora also falls short as a feminist "making generations" because tract (babies) is too central in Ursa's universe. True, there are carefully-drawn images of a traditional fear of pregnancy (a childhood friend of Ursa's gets knocked up, there is elsewhere a mysterious suicide, there are Ursa's own fears of the mechanics of getting pregnant), but these images are her dispelled by mother's and her grandmother's urge to produce offspring, if for no other reason than to pass on the story of the family's male-inflicted past to invent — , More: universal the book's final has a central and which perhaps even caters to the rigor of traditional male love: "What is it a woman can do to a man that make him hate her so bad he want to kill her one minute and keep thinking about her and can't get her out of his mind the next?" question tenor A feminist would never ask this question in a book, or if it was asked, the answer would certainly be, "Who cares?" But Corregidora, for all its poignant and true feminine internal monologue, gives equal time (or more) to men. / / / It would be folly to end a review of this / / book without some mention of its chief demonic presense: Corregidora himself, the Indiamdark Portuguese slavemaster, and the strong, vulgar and cruel originator of the geneology which found its endpoint in the prematurely sterile Ursa Corregidora. He is remembered chiefly for his ceaseless fucking and for his elaborate personal bevy of whores who are saved only for himself and select gentlemen. In youth, he is the ur-portrait of fantasies within all men: a dark, brooding, relentless fucker and keeper of women; and in old age he is the sum of all male terrors: crabby, thin fleshed, hated by his women (secretly) and twisted sideways by a sudden, deforming stroke. It is hard to ever any more believe he was ever real than the collected fears and hatreds of all women, a kind of repository of imperishable conceptions of the southern white male reduced to gothic proportions and simplicities. But that is enough. Gayl Jones makes him real, makes him radiate out of the one remaining photograph of him like a warning for women to behave, to endure, and above —Corydon Ireland all to wait. — — ... long thing." Finally, this book is far too tender and understanding of men.

Still, the album doesn't sell, and a year later it can be fognd on the discount racks of any record store. This is probably what will happen to Main Course, the Bee Gees' latest, and it will be an unjustified fate, as usual. This does not mean that the album ij perfect; Main Course has its problems, but that is true of all albums. The main difficulty arises when the Bee Gees try to imitate American "soul music. Sometimes like in "Jive Talkin'," where the music it works sounds .appropriate, and in "Nights on Broadway," which is such an excellent song that almost nothing could ruin it. At other times, however, the imitation fails miserably. "Wind of Change," a weak cut to begin with, is made boring by a monotonous backup arrangement and an occasionally overpowering chorus' of horns. Feathery vocals and insipid instrumentation give ( "Fanny (Be Tender with my Love)" a saccharine feeling, without the fragile beauty that the song could have had. Both of these cuts are examples of extreme commercialism on the group's part, and it is fortunate that they do not dominate the album. The rest of the album is made up of average Bee Gees songs with better than average Bee Gees which makes them about twice as good melodies as a lot of the music presently heard on AM radio. "Edge of the Universe" is a good example. It has a nice arrangement, with some synthesizer ornamentation giving it a slightly "spacey" feeling, and a melody which keeps the song interesting for its whole length over five minutes. "All This Making Love," more wry than erotic, is an interesting, almost typical British pop song; it isn't something you would expect from the Bee Gees. The group has a talent for writing songs that can stand up to quite a bit of orchestration, but sometimes the arrangement is overbearing. This happens in "Come on Over," a glossy, plastic song which sounds like something Charlie Rich would - — Summerfest Part Six is this Sunday at Rich Stadium and will feature Dan Fogelberg, Judy Collins, Seals and Crofts, and the Eagles.

Perhaps the best one is the previously mentioned "Nights on Broadway," a fast paced, forceful song with a slow verse toward the end just to keep it from getting boring. It would be a good choice for a single. Another good single, although for different reasons, might be "Country Lanes." It sounds a little like an old Bee Gees song or a slow English folk tune, and it isn't as syrupy as the title implies. "Songbird" is also a pretty song, featuring the Bee Gees' unmistakable harmonies against a comparatively simple musical background. The main reason this album succeeds is because of the quality of the musicians. As usual, all guitars are played by Alan Kendall and Barry Gibb (the oldest of the three brothers). Kendall has stopped trying to be "heavy" and thus fits in very well on this album. Dennis Byron, who was excellent on drums on their last album, is just as good here, being equally comfortable with the fast and slow songs. Naturally, Robin Gibb is content just to use his quavery voice, and Maurice Gibb has finally abandoned keyboards completely. Now he merely plays bass, and some guitar, ahd he is quite good at that. He has been likened to Paul McCartney, which isn't an unjust comparison. Blue Weaver, the excellent keyboard artist formerly with the Strawbs, plays all keyboards on this album. So far, he has been the best choice for this job, for he has added a variety of instruments, including synthesizers, for the first time. While his predecessors were content to provide simple accompaniment. Weaver,"with his classical training, throws in subtle note patterns and interesting underbeats, giving the songs a more complete sound and even the synthesizers sound — good. Arif Mardin, who has produced albums for such people as Laura Nyro, John Prine, Aretha Franklin and the Average White Band, produced this album as well as the one before it. He has done a good job, despite occasional excesses. As for the lyrics, most of them deal with the Bee Gees' traditional theme, romance, ususally dwelling on the more or less tragic aspects. The words are less cryptic than usual, except for some songs, like "Edge of the Universe:" "Well, I'm ten feet tall, but I’m only three feet wide And I live inside an ocean that flows on the other side If came back down tomorrow Would it all be far too soon And it looks like it's gonna be a lovely afternoon" A lyric sheet has been included, but it is superfulous. You can understand most of the lyrics anyway and nobody really listens to them after hearing the songs a few times. This is a very enjoyable album. Perhaps it will be too sugary or commercial for some people, but anyone who likes Bee Gees music should like it. I read recently that the Bee Gees celebrated their twentieth year in show business (they've been popular in the U.S. and Great Britain for only eight «• / years). Their oldest member is 27.

It is a typical Earl Scruggs album in tht that he takes a back seat and lets his guest stars take the spotlight.

The songs are evenly divided among the - blue-grass, country-western, and Gospel genres. They David Bromberg Band, Midnight on the Water, (Columbia) You don't (or at least I don't) find many musicians these days with much more technical skill on their instruments than David Bromberg. His years of session and backup duty speak for themselves on that score. But of more significance, probably, is his having become one of the very few sidemen to have achieved any sort of success as a solo. Yes, we all pour over liner notes like chemists trying to break down DNA, we all recognize the names; but how often do We see them on the front of a record that goes anyplace? The Bromberg ; charisma is an amalgam of this sterling musicianship and of a cherry, gap-toothed grin of an image, namely the City Boy As Hard Lovin' Loser. When Bromberg sings "Send Mfe To The Electric Chair" on is previous album Wanted Dead or Alive, you know that the world that in there's not a chance this gangly, undergraduate-looking fellow could have "Hit her with a bottle/ Kicked her in the side/ And stood laughin' over her/ While she wriggled 'round and died." It's the whole absurdity of all the collegiate city joys pretending in any way to approximate the boozin', shootirv', oallin' bastards that Leadbelly, Big Bill Broonzy, and Charlie Patton sang about, and to some extent were. Bromberg's fully aware of this, and he's been playing it for all it's been worth, especially via a vocal delivery that's often downright hammy. Problem is, the direction that he sometimes has to play this is down, and I don't like being condescended to. But there's less of it on Midnight than before, which is why I think it's better than anything he's put on record previously. He even has fun with The Image in "I Like To Sleep Late In The Morning," a really likeable song that would be great to wake up late to. the acoustic He even plays it on one of my favorite instruments 12-string, with the other instruments fading in gradually. Nice. For double-edged parody, try "Mr. Blue," non other than the Fleetwoods' opus done as a perfect imitation of middle-of-the-road WEBR style. (The real joke is that it may very well get onto the MOR airwaves.) And everyone who remembers, fondly or otherwise, Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits squealing "Don't know much abouthis-tuhree ..." is bound to goof on Bromberg's Muscle Shoals treatment of the Hermits’ "(What A) Wonderful World." There are two medleys of traditional fiddle tunes. By far the better of the two is the breathless, five-minute. "Yankee's Revenge," highlighted by Bromberg's guitar work. Jay Ungar's fiddle, and don't Billy Novick's pennywhistle playing. (All right, so I'm the only laugh pennywhistle fan in Buffalo; consider me an oppressed minority.) The other medley, title tune for the record, is a tot muddled, and they apparently forgot to include the "Slow Air" that the cover says is part of it. Bromberg's only solo on the record is "If I Get Lucky," a Booker T. song that he turns into a straight country blues. He does it with a lot of feeling, but it's not the same kind of feeling you or I would probably think of as "the blues." It's a strange sensation. Still, Bromberg does some of the best playing on the whole album there. David Bromberg has been trying to make the transition from "musician's musician" to "entertainer" for mosfbf his solo career. If this record is any indication, he's about this close to doing the job as right as it ever gets done. The Bromberg faps all have their copies by —Stringbean now, and are doubtless happy with them.

Most of the songs were cut with a minimum of rehearsal, true to the down-home aspect of Country Boys. . ■; Nonetheless, Anniversary Special is not a bad album. It merely boils down to a collection of old friends getting together to sing and play some of their old favorites. It cannot be considered a classic MUST album, but for someone who is into blue-grass or Country music, it is certainly enjoyable. You won't have a craving to hear it every hour of the day, but it certainly isn't an album to be easily forgotten and relegated to the bottom of your record pile.

Their music is an easygoing country-rock that can be pinned down to the American Southwest, a music that is hard to dislike and is among the finest written for automobile radios. "Take It Easy," their first hit, is a theme song for anyone who's ever seen Winslow, Arizona, and other songs of theirs have spoken of fairly specific experiences shared by marfy of their listeners. True - to their past, the new Eagles album consists mostly of catchy and simple songs that will rarely be raved abqut but which will be constantly enjoyable. Several of. the songs are melodies which will be remembered but whose title and performer will slip the mind quickly. The titles reflect where the group is coming from, although neither titles nor lyrics are ever profound: "Too Many Hands," "Lyin' Eyes," "Take It To the Limit," "After The Thrill Is Gone," "I Wish You Peace," etc. And, the album on the whole is pablum, it is very enjoyable pablum. "One Of These Nights," the group's current single, is slow, somewhat low-keyed country-rock. The vocals are simple and the instrumentals are pleasing but hardly spectacular. The overall effect is similar to that of Redbone, which brings up an interesting point: most, of the songs sound a little like things by other jjterformers. Yet, the group obviously did not intend to plagiarize, since composers from Schumann to Ray Davies have used familiar themes in their own pieces.s, to cause an unconscious reaction on the part of listners. Skillfully executed, when a theme is abandoned just before it is recognized, it is an effective technique. Unfortunately, the Eagles have not yet learned how to do this effectively, and several of the songs on One Of These Nights sound as if they were directly inspired by other songs. 'Too Many Hands," the second cut, is out of the "inspired" mold. Specifically, inspired by the old standard "(I'm) Losin' You," it features nice twin leads on guitar by Glenn Frey and Don Felder, and some outstanding rythym work highlighted by Don side, struck me as the best song on the album and probably should have been the single. The beat is similar to the group's earlier single, "Peaceful Easy Feeling," except a little brighter, and the lyrics are unusually intpUectual for latter-day music. The tale of the girl wHb’marries for money and can't find love is helped out by some good piano played by Jim Ed Nofman. •"Ttlke It To The Limit" is a little too slow, but pleasant. Somewhat more countryish than is the Eagle's usual wont, it is a song Lynn Anderson would love if she could write her own lyrics. "Visions" seems to reflect visions of being Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, unfortunately. Not that it's a bad song (it's rather good), but the emulation of CCSNY is almost embarrassing. Some of the riffs seem to come from "Long Time Gone," the introduction sounds like "On The Way Home," and bits here and there resemble cuts from Four Way Street. The problem with the Eagles is that they're just not as talented as CSNY (how well CSNY uses their talent is, of course, debatable), and they should stick to what they do well, which isn't powerhouse Henley's tablas. "Hollywood Waltz" is somewhere between a rock. waltz and a slow ballad, and works despite a "After the Thrill Is Gone" is country blues with resemblance to. Neil Young's song "Harvest."

However, this may prove to be one of the drawbacks on this album. There is no "singular" feeling about any song, especially the vocals. Each performer has a certain way of dealing with an idea (vocally), and different interpretations result when four or five different people alternate verses. However, the instrumentalists provide a unifying background, and keep the general mood from being music. It is obvious that Earl Scruggs is trying to escape for the stereotype of being just a. blue-grass picker. His banjo work has changed from precise, hard-driving flat picking to a mellower type of picking. The blue-grass numbers are adequate, but are a far cry from the dueling they banjo-guitar-fiddle numbers Scruggs made famous with Lester Flatt and the original Foggy Mountain �University graduate umpiring in American League shortstop throw was in plenty of time but the tag. to miss appeared Jim Mason u Bremigan clenched his fist: but to no avail. Burroughs argued the call, by Paige Miller Contributing Editor *' Okay, sports fans: what Buffalo athlete is currently in the major leagues? If you’re stumped, don’t be surprised.

The instant replay on television has also been a boon for umpires, Bremigan contends. It proves they are right the overwhelming majority of the time. But he would not like to see the day when the instant replay can overrule an umpire’s decision. What does Bremigan enjoy most about being an umpire? ‘This might sound a little vain, but it’s the prestige that goes along with being a major league umpire,” he said, verbalizing a common bond between umpires, players and sportswriters. Umpires' also receive a pension and complete insurance coverage. administrators. Of course, it’s a trick question. Nick Bremigan is currently in the American League, but he is an umpire, not a player. Nick graduaged from the State University at Buffalo in 1965 with a degree in history. He was a member of James Peelle’s varsity baseball teams back then, and by his own estimates, was a ninth-string catcher. “Well, 1 wasn’t bad as batting practice pitcher,” he said with a grin, "Other than that 1 didn’t do anything spectacular.” After graduating, Bremigan got a job as a teacher in Rochester, his hometown, but that summer was a turning point in his life. “A friend of mine was into amatuer umpiring around the Rochester area, and he got me interested in it.” Bremigan admitted that while at Buffalo, he had no interest in umpiring at all. Started low At first, he umpired just for some'extra money, but after three and a half years, he was fed up with teaching, and enrolled in umpiring school. He was given a job in the low minor leagues and in 1973, Bremigan was promoted to the American League. He also teaches at the umpiring school now. Making the switch from playing baseball wasn’t too difficult for Nick. “Playing baseball, of course, gives you a knowledge of the game, although umpiring is quite a bit different.” He noted that being a good baseball player did not necessarily make you a good umpire. In fact, of all the professional umpires who to officiating formerly were players, none were stars or even average major leaguers. The only problem Bremigan found in going from playing to umpiring was in his positioning and timing. “The biggest thing 1 had to adjust to was getting into position and giving myself an adequate opportunity to see a play before I called it," he observed. “I think the biggest fault *jf anyone in umpiring is that they want to anticipate, and that leads to mistakes.” limps run, too Apparently, Bremigan has mastered the art of proper positioning.

The final vote was 42-34. — Sent to Brown The State Senate, which had approved the bill with bipartisan support in March, approved several minor amendments added by the Assembly and sent it to Governor Brown, who had called for a civil-citation approach to marijuana laws in his campaign last fall Under the California law, a maximum fine of $100 will be imposed for possession of up to one ounce of marijuana for personal use. Possession of small' amounts will be treated like a traffic offense, with a citation issued, and no arrest record will be made. Possession of more than one ounce of marijuana will still be punishable as a misdemeanor under the California law. In Colorado, the Republican-controlled State Senate voted final approval June 19 for a decriminalization measure ai Deputy District Attorney Jim Moore and Denver Chief Deputy District Attorney Richard Wood call for the elimination of criminal penalties in legislative hearings. Public use banned The State House of Representatives had already passed the bill, and Governor Lamm is expected to sign it in the next few days. Under the new Colorado law, private possession of marijuana will be punishable by the maximum $100 fine, but “public displayor consumption” will 'be punishable .by arrest and up to 15 days in jail, and/or the $100 fine. Possession of more than one ounce for private use will remain a misdemeanor with up to one year in jail and/or a $500 fine. >JJ ' fttj'.y r.tr,'. V.-v/i st. ' -,&0 Friday, 18 July 1975 TTie Spectrum Page thirteen . . �In the Western Division, the Reds have been on an incredible two-month tear in which they have won 41 games in 50 tries. During this time, they have built up a tremendous 13-game lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers, last year’s N.L. champions. The Reds have been led by a trio of perennial All-Stars, Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench, and Pete Rose. Morgan is leading the league in stolen bases and walks, is a close second in batting, and is among the leaders in runs batted in. These imposing credentials another big year, and was the leading vote-getter in the fans’ fighting spirit to equal that of the who have come from behind in 29 of their 61 wins. In order to make it a pennant race, L.A. must come up with an extended winning streak and catch the Reds in a slump. One big problem will be the loss of Joe Ferguson with a broken arm. He’ll probably be out for the rest of the Reds, balloting for the All-Star Game. At third base. Rose is hitting in the top ten after a slow start, fielding well, and, naturally, hustling. In addition to these three, shortstop Dave Concepcion and slugger Tony Perez have made the All-Star team, with the former starting at short. If the Reds’ pitchers can continue to hold up, and the return of Don Bullett can only help them, they should win it easily. season. Closely bunched, but far —UPI The Giants are doing better than a lot of people expected them to, after they traded Bobby Bonds to the New York Yankees. Bobby Murcer is hitting over .300 and is producing runs, but one All-Star does not a pennant-winner make. He’s getting some help from S.F.’s best young pitcher, John Montefusco. behind the two contenders, are Improvement noted the San Francisco Giants, San San Francisco recently swept a series from the Diego Padres, and the Atlanta four-game Dodgers, the first time they did Braves.

Supporters of the plastic containers mainly the chemical — companies themselves and the Society of the Plastics Industry stress its light weight, potential recyclability, and resistance to breakage. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) prepared the by Food and Drug Administration rated the plastic — An unusual aspect of the Lopac bottle and its “relatives” is that containers were Although the manufacturers, Monsanto, including DuPont, Standard Oil (Visitron Corporation), and Borg-Warner, maintain that a refillable bottle is *i i; i.'

It has been estimated that 40 percent of the total energy demand made by the beverage industry could be reduced if the industry converted entirely to refillable containers. The evidence indicates that the introduction of ‘another Page fourteen The Spectrum Triclay, iSJufy 1975 � the of Lopac consequent Not refillable of a discovering chemical and then finding its applications, the requirements for a synthetic container of this sort with depletion of irreplaceable resources (notably fossil fuels), increased littering, and further burden on solid waste disposal.” Citing past apathy toward recycling and the problem of contamination of polyester resins, the EIS concluded that “plastic barrier bottles are unlikely to be recycled in significant quantities.” instead procedure environmental reasons. Nonrefillabie plastic bottles, it observed, “will hasten the trend throwaway thus recovering thj inherent “energy credit” of its Lopac bottles. It plans to offer $200 per ton of Lopac containers returned for recycling. But only Monsanto ventured an estimate as to how long the “optimization” on their bottle would take, which is two to three years. In the meantime, millions of pounds of the bottles will be sold, representing a tremendous waste of energy. Computer used bottle above all other containers in the area of safety. But while acknowledging the safety assets of the plastic bottle, the EIS came down rather heavily against it for a variety of to recycling, barrier bottles (“barrier” because of the low permeability to gases), criticized this approach. “What you asked for, and what you got,'” he noted, is an extremely durable bottle, *so durable that it is a very poor design for a throwaway or ‘no-return’ bottle. “ . “Making a drink bottle durable that it is absolutely impossible to dispose of, without a lot of trouble and money,” added Dr. Odum. “If you burn it you’ve got possible trouble with means noxious gases.

Under new, more affluent ownership, the Giants may be able to recapture some of the glory of bygone days. Down the road in San Diego, the Padres are showing steady improvement under Manager Preston Gomez. Pitcher Randy Jones is a real bright spot, and so is Bill Greif, who threw what Dodger Joe Ferguson believed was a beanball several weeks ago, touching off the melee in which Ferguson’s arm was broken. Bobby Tolan adds hitting punch (no pun intended) to the San Diego club, which took two games from the sizzling Reds the last time they met. Braves hurting The Atlanta Braves are feeling the loss of.

A container designed with the environment and energy conservation in mind would be different from considerably Lopac, which he feels “has been fabricated with manufacturing and commercial properties mostly in mind and environmental impact mostly an afterthought.” While recognizing the hazards of the plastic bottle, the FDA concluded in the EIS that it has years.

The Spectrum has learned. However, the letter did not release any Although University administrators and specific information regarding these cuts department officials refuse to confirm this and when reached at his office, Somit report, confidential documents from the office of President Robert Kettex which refused to disclose any details. But Somit outline tentative proposals for this and admitted that “certain areas have been identified” and any personnel likely to be next year’s budget cuts indicate that the affected will be notified this week. intercollegiate and intramural athletic The letter did report the details of the programs are in danger of losing their state funding. 1975—76 budget cuts totaling $2,835,000. Dean of the School of Health Education According to the proposals, $1,150,000 Harry Fritz said in a telephone interview budget cuts will have to be in implemented for the 1976—77 fiscal year. Of that figure, the Faculty of Health Sciences, which finances the athletic coaches’ salaries, was slated for a $288,000 Possible corrections The committee met several times during the past month, and the proposals outlined in the confidential documents and Somit’s letter reflected its final recommendations. “The Committee concurs with the Provosts that any program proposed for retrenchment be reviewed with the affected faculty as soon as possible, with the view to making such corrections that are found to be desireable,” an attached 1975-76 and 1976-77. • explanation states. to the cutback proposals Among the more serious cutbacks for 1975—76, Campus Security will have to University recommendations. Admission and Records, the President’s Office, Computing Services, and the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) together must absorb decreases totaling about $155,000 for 1975—76. Nearly all this money, will be saved by eliminiating unfilled, but previously funded professional positions. In addition to cuts in the Faculty of Health Sciences, several other areas face severe reductions for 1976—77, according to the confidential report. Included on the list of proposed program eliminations are Photographic Business Education, the Studies, undergraduate Social Work, Program and the program in Laboratory Animal Proposed faculty and staff reductions one part-time lecturer in Adult Education, two History part-time faculty members, one Sociology full-time faculty employee, and two fill-time faculty members in the Philosophy Department. Unfair treatment Philosophy Chairman Peter Hare feels his department has not been fairly treated in the past, explaining that the last two faculty members hired, specialists in Ancient Philosophy and MOdem Anglo-American Philosophy, were crucial to the department’s academic balance. “We went to a great deal of trouble and thought to hire them,” he said. funds.” Somit’s letter In an open letter to the University dated July8, Executive Vice President Albert Somit wrote, “Thc^^976— 77 budget will affect the University more severely (than the 1975-76 budget] in human terms, since it requires a reduction in our budget base' of slightly more than one million dollars.” money can be saved by redirecting unused salary and wage resources, according to include Student athletic fee? In order to partially achieve the cut, the proposal specifies that the Faculty of Health Sciences “assumes” that the portion of its budget which has been used towards funding intercollegiates and intramurals “will be supported henceforth by non-state Although the possible sources of the “non-state funds” are not definitely known, informed sources speculate that a mandatory studdnt athletic fee is envisioned to pay coaches’ salaries. Such a plan, the sources contend, is consistent with Ketter’s proposals last April to restructure athletics, in which he called upon the Student Association (SA) to “recognize and assume full responsibility for intercollegiate athletics, including initial professional staff.” The University Libraries must face;a $160,000 share of the budget cuts. This Sciences. reduction, The report also suggested that the language departments reorganize to form a with The Spectrum that he had not been informed of the proposed slashing of the Health Sciences ’budget and the consequences for the future of athletics, though he notes that if such measures were instituted with no viable alternative funding, the “effect on the program would be disastrous.” The budget crisis climaxed last month when a University Budget Committee, composed of nine administrators, two decrease its spending by $50,000. Director of Campus Security Patrick Glennon disclosed that of this figure, the student Security Aide program, which costs $13,345, will be eliminated. In order to maintain the same quality of dorm security without the student aides, Glennon said regular Campus Security officers will have to patrol and guard the dormitories themselves. “It will be a lot tougher, but we’ll have to do it,” he stated. “Modern Language Department” (including Puerto Rican Studies) and the Theater Department merge with Music. Somit emphasized “the provisional nature” of any decisions. Since some of the cuts would not go into effect until September, 1976, “we may have some options by that time,” he said. Graduate Student Association President DiFilippo speculated that any decisions which are finalized at the campus level are likely to be approved by higher athorities in Albany. Terry Bright promise Bill proposes student board member member of the SUNY Board of by Laura Bartlett Trustees. Campus Editor A bill that would permit a non-voting student to sit on the State University of New York (SUNY) Board of Trustees and each local university or college council is expected to be approved by the State Legislature before it adjourns at the end of this week. The bill, which amends the state education law, was put on Legislative Director Ray Glass, the agenda after “monumental who is resigning this year after pressure” from “everyone in the several years of pushing for this passage, declared a state except the SUNY Board of bill’s Trustees,” Student Association of “legislative alert,” and entreated the State University (SASU) all SUNY student governments, Kirkpatrick SASU delegates, and campus Bob President newspapers to “flood Warren explained.

Favorable action expected He said Dr. Holloman assured SASU of “favorable action” by the legislator, indicating that the Republican party and Warren Anderson stood to gain politically by passage of the bill. “The only people in the state that are against it are the other trustees,” Kirkpatrick -surmised. Senator James McFarland (D., Buffalo), one of the bill’s Sponsors, said he supported it because “the present structure does not provide for meaningful representation of student opinions and objectives.” The current system, in which some students are allowed out of courtesy to observe formal board meetings as non-members, is unsatisfactory because they are not permitted to attend executive sessions, “which is where most of the decisions are really made,” McFarland explained. ... Illustrating dilemna, this SASU President Dan Kohane indicated that although he was allowed to observe formal sessions of the SUNY Board of Trustees last year, he was not aware of the decision to further the SUNY cut the budgets schools. “These cuts will certainly be detrimental to the interests of students,” he declared. “1 knew nothing about them at all while the decision was being made.” former Limited rights Discussing further drawbacks in the present system, McFarland said, “Students are not necessarily accorded the right to speak on all matters, to bring matters to the consideration of these boards, to make motions, or to exercise other functions which would be non-voting accorded to members.” Clifford Thorne, SUNY Vice Chancellor loj Student Affairs, told SASU that the* board objected to the bill because it for provided nomvoting a member, which they feel is “not necessarily a responsible one.” “In that case, they should have approved of the bill last year, when it provided for a voting member,” student Glass responded. He contended that students the right to elect a representative to sit on these boards, not only because their interests are not adequately represented, but because they “are the consumers of the educational process” and are contributing more than $200 million annually in tuition and fees to SUNY. have • �' m \ Stony Brook is of debts Suspension city be will law Voting Council rejected by Common tested by students by Rosalie Zuckerman Special Features Editor The amendment to the New York State election law which prohibits a student attending a university outside his hometown voting The Buffalo Common Council has rejected a resolution by Councilman Horace Johnson 18-month calling for, an suspension of all city debts to meet the “immediate threat” of a fiscal crisis. In a speech before the Council on June 24, Johnson said Buffalo was in a “state of financial emergency” and has reached a point of “temporary insolvency” where it cannot pay back its debts without massive job layoffs and serious cutbacks in public services. The resolution, drafted by the U.S., Labor Party and Black caucus groups, was severely criticized by Council members for being “unconstitutional, illegal” and “slanderous to the Makowski administration.” district from voting where he is living will soon be challenged in court by students at the State University at Stony Brook. Rene Chaeimi, associate Editor of the Statesman, Stony Brook’s student newspaper, will attempt to register to vote in Suffolk County, where the University is located. After he is rejected by the local election board, a suit challenging the law will be filed in State Supreme Court. The plan was initiated by Aaron Rutherford, an independant candidate for Suffolk County Executive. Rutherford contacted Earl Weprin, Legal Affairs Coordinator for the student government at Stony Brook, because of Weprin’s work on a committee studying a student’s unsuccessful attempt to register last November. Jason Mann, Executive Editor of the Statesman, said the suit was given impetus by the State Supreme Court decision in Ramy vs. Rockefeller, in which a student was ultimately allowed to register in his university district. “The court declined to announce a formal decision,” Mann explained, “but what they did do Was tefitheftoard of elections, let this kid vote or well announce a decision directing you to.’ The board was smart and let the kid vote.” *, ' Both Foschio and O’Connell told the Council that defaulting on debts would seriously damage Legal mmpHrariftM City the city’s credit rating by making O’Connell, George Comptroller, and Leslie Foschio, Interest rates so high that the city City /Legal Counsel, warned the would never be able to borrow Council of the serious legal and money again, financial difficulties that would ensure if the city were to default Damage done on its payment of debts. Johnson believes, however, “I cannot believe that the that Buffalo’s credit rating has Council is serious about defaulting already been seriously damaged municipal bonds and I hope to and that the city is in a state of sustain such an actioh,” Foschio “deterioration.” Although the city is trying to attract many said.

Both Foschio and O’Connell this resolution “patently illegal,” Foschio stressed. “It’s just like denied Johtison’s charges that the Congress postponing payment on city was in a state of “collapse” or ' your U.S. savings bonds,” he said, that it was incapable of paying \ back its debts. Foschio did acknowledge, however, that the city is facing serious financial problems. Johnson claims that the activities of the U.S. Labor Party in the proximity of City Hall “upset” members of the council, causing them to kill the resolution immediately without referring it to the legislation committee for further discussion. majority Council leader Anthony M. Masiello said he was prepared to submit the resolution to the legislation committee, but refused to acknowledge it after receiving a memo from which called Party Labor Councilman Bill Price and Budget Comptroller Phil Cook “Nazis.” “I will not give any attention who people intimidate to members of the council like that,” Masiello asserted.

' Student political control The court’s action only pertained to the individual case, however “This will be a class suit,” Mann said. , ”• Weprin said he believes student attempts to register have not resulted in favorable decisions because they have too close to election time. “Most students don’t even start to think about registering and voting until September. Then the court doesn’t get arouncj/to deciding until November, and there’s not time to appeal it,” he explained. Weprin said the staged registration rejection will be carried out soon, and the case will be settled by November. A favorable decision would especially benefit students at small-town colleges, where newly enfranchised students could conceivably control the town politically, he added. Some help for the case will probably come from the American Civil Liberties Union, Weprin said. Jury clears Shango in Attica murder trial A State Supreme Court jury Bahati acquitted Shango Kakawana (Bernard Stroble) late last Thursday of charges of and murder unlawful imprisonment during the 1971 Attica prison rebellion.* The jury of seven women and five men deliberated for nearly six hours before reporting its verdict to State Supreme Court Justice Joseph Mattina. Kidnap and felony murder charges against Shango were dismissed earlier in the trial by Mattina for lack of evidence. Attorney Assistant General Cryan contended that Shango cut fellow inmate Barry Schwartz’s throat in the early hours of the uprising because Schwartz and inmate Kenneth Francis Hess, also found murdered, spoke to a reporter-'without 'first obtaining permission from the inmates negotiating board. thirty About courtroom spectators cheered and applauded as jury foreman Otto Leff announced the not guilty verdict.

During its deliberations the jury reviewed the testimony of two medical examiners and a former inmate who was present during the rebellion.

The verdict brings the total Attica number of freed defendants to six. Three former inmates were found innocent by a Stgte Supreme Court jury last month of charges of assault and coercion against three prison guards. Charges -against Willie and assaulting Smith of sodomizing correction officers were dismissed during pre-trial hearings for lack of corroborative testimony, and inmate Vernon TeFranque, tried for possession of %a gun and prison contraband, was acquitted after 20 minutes of jury deliberation.

Reitz was one of ten students arrested, in connection with a sit-in in Hayes Hall in late April to protest the administration’s blocking of funds approved by the Student Assembly for buses to Albany the following Monday for rallies and workshops supporting the Attica defendants.

Civil charges against three students arrested near the Campus Security offices on Winspear Avenue were dismissed by Judge Sam Green in early June. The acquital of Reitz and Gonzalez has led to speculation that the remaining five students who face civil charges will not be prosecuted. President Robert Ketter suspended Reitz, who was to have completed work on his PhD next year, until fall 1976. Four other students, including Gonzalez, were suspended for six months.

Additionally, any athletic fee would send student monies diifectly over to the Athletic Department and out of the jurisdiction of students. Thus, even if such a fee were instituted, students would have no control over its Contrary to disbursement. The University has a basic obligation to ail its students to maintain a well-rounded educational program. Considering that one-third of the total student mandatory fee budget ($222,000) goes to athletics, and of that figure, approximately $180,000 goes to intercollegiate athletics alone, students regard these programs as necessary for an active, complete University. But the programs cannot exist without experienced coaches, and students simply cannot be expected to pay their salaries. The administrators who propose budget cuts should only be more sensitive to these realities.

No one ever listens to those kinds of pleas though, no one ever thinks twice about driving by the broken and destitute beings who habitate the curbs of society, with right arms outstretched, parallel to the pavement, and thumbs that point to a heaven that exists for only those people who own cars. The hitchhiker garners sympathy from himself, mainly, and a very few individuals who keep Woodstock alive in their hearts, as well as their glove compartments. In a sense, the hitchhiker is allied with the driver who knows what it's like to stand against oncoming cars while peering at halves of bodies of nameless souls through darkened windshields. “Climb in, old sport, and take your shoes off.” “Why must I take my shoes off?” I asked the man who has Woodstock in his heart. “Because the last guy who owned this car once operated a geisha house.” The inside of the driver’s car was ultra-plush, plusher than the dining room of the Holiday Inn, much more extravagant than Dr. Ketter’s 10th floor hide-away in Goodyear Hall. When you squeezed the cover, it whispered seat “PLUSHHHHHHHHHHHH.” ‘This car certainly is plushy. You must have spent a fortune to make it so plushy,” 1 gawked. “1 like it plushy. But I didn’t have to spend a cent to make it plushy, as a matter of fact, this plushy car was given to me.” “It’s good and plushy.” “Where are you going, by the way?” “Plushy Avenue, that is, Elmwood.” ‘That’s where Buff State is. That’s where all the girls are. I like girls. I often pick up many girls there hitching, and we drive around smoking cigarettes in my plushy car.” “Oh, that’s nice.” “I’m always picking up hitchhikers, just as many boys as girls, too. I like boys. When they first get in the car, they’re usually soft, but when I drop them off, i get them hard.” Soft and hard? The boys are soft, then hard? He likes the girls, he likes the boys, he likes smoking cigarettes in a plushy ca' that was given to him by 10 or IS nobodies wearing clothes that were meant for thinner men and smelling of Brute, English Leather, and Lectric Shave. “You mean soft pack and hard pack, don’t you?” ‘That is correct.” “Which do YOU prefer?” “I like the box.” “I knew it, I knew it! You’re Rod Serling reincarnated, coming back to fuck me up! Why do you like the box?” ‘This is Elmwood. Have a good day.” I watched as he drove away, and 1 swear to God, that plushy car vanished into thin air. It vanished good like a cigarette should. — On being labelled paternalistic ‘ ’ public To the Editor. I refer to the article, “Student acquitted of criminal trespass charge in city court,” that appeared on page one of the June 27 The Spectrum. Dana Dubbs and David Sites write that “at one point” while I was on the stand, “Judge Green had to admonish Dr. Siggelkow for being ‘paternalistic’ in his answers,” a report that will surprise more than please the Judge. Presiding Judges must be objective and do not characterize the quality of responses by witnesses in this manner. There is, then, a clear implication that this Judge acted unprofessionally and abandoned his traditional and necessarily impartial role. In short. Judge Green did not personally admonish me about being paternalistic at any time during or after the proceedings. Ask him.

To me, at least, the imposition of such force by demonstrators no longer qualified their action as either a peaceful or appropriate form of dissent. Further, individuals who elect such actions should have the courage to face up to the consequences of their decision and realize that they can be held responsible. I must also question the defendant’s conclusion after the trial that the administrative action in attempting to deal with the “sit-in” can so logically and effortlessly be translated into an administrative ploy “to suppress the facts concerning the injustice of the handling of the Attica rebellion.” The initial ruling that mandatory student fee monies could not be used to bus students to a “rally” in Albany clearly did not fall within SUNY Trustee guidelines authorizing expenditures of such funds. This was, and should remain, a separate issue. In no way can that particular decision be related unless by spurious or deliberately misleading reporting, that ranged from misspelling names to reasoning to anyone’s feelings about the tragedy quoting the warning statement out of context. Incidentally, I may at times appear to some as of Attica or even be perceived by any rational paternalistic; however, my consistent posture has observer as condoning glaring injustices and always been far from “paternalistic,” and in strong inadequacies when these exist within an archaic disagreement with any demonstrators who decide to penal system. take the law into their own hands and superimpose their will on olhejrs.

From here it's very simple; music like this makes dancing to music like this very difficult.

"Very uncomfortable for the Dormouse," thought Alice... — — Last June 27-29 The Zodiaque Company presented Summer Dance ‘75 {directed by Linda Swiniuch. It was choreographed entirely by Company members, and (here's the rub) it featured the music of five modern composers, all of them famous murderers of musical time: Earle Brown, John Cage, Morton Feldman, Lucas Foss and Lejaren Hiller. It was a kind of Mad Tea Party, like the one Carroll invented: the performance put some people to sleep (though they were certain to wake up intermittently), it forced others to continually glance at their watches and fret over murdered time, it produced moments of genial puzzlement in others like those Alice had and it endowed still others with flashes of pleasant, temporary madness. Everybody who saw the production "nibbled some more of the left-hand bit of mushroom" r- dance audiences are like that anyway before they entered the enchanted circle of Baird Hall. Once inside, they were all transformed into Mad Hatters, Dormice, March Hares, and like this reviewer curious Alices. One night in particular the audience was very crude mostly and March Hares. The chief Dormouse was seated near the front, his white housepainter's hat askew on his head. Sitting in front of him (I swear) was a little girl, looking much like the real Alice. She was alone in the front row and maintained a perfect balance between fantasy and forgiveness. At one point, just after the intermission, she turned in her seat and hissed for the audience to be quiet they had suddenly awakened and - - — — slowly and stiffly across the rear of the stage, chanting a wildly absurd grocery list. It was hilarious and terrifying. — — — - — "Have you guessed the riddle yet?" the Hatter said, turning to Alice again. "No, give it up,” Alice replied. "What's the answer?" "I haven't the slightest idea,"said the Hatter. / The first piece in Summer Dance '75 choreographed by Wendy Biller after John Cage's 1965 "Rozart Mix" and called "For the Magician" was the evening's weakest piece, unless my critical vision is just being cross-eyed in disguise. It combined the Company's most impressionistic and abstract choreographer (Biller) with the most ambitious and difficult piece of music. Cage's composition was a helter-skelter of everyday sounds dogs barking, clocks ticking, babies crying and gooing, and bits of conversation, argument, and radio voice in several languages. It ended with a human voice saying in a faintly discernable way, "This be error" repeated once in case we didn't understand it the first time. (I think this is one of the times the Dormouse woke up.) The dancers who acted out Biller's choreography Janice Birnbaum, Joy Sheppard, and Betsey Wagner —-did a fine job of moving in such a way that the music was in - — - — — showed the strongest theme (murdering time), which I am as were the sure was superimposed on the music multiple themes of the first piece. Patricia DaVinney "narrated" the dance as she strolled across the stage, reading the “"Mad Tee Party” episode front Lewis"fearroll's Alice's Adventures iitWoriderland She ended the reading (in the dark, after the dancing had ceased) with the program's prominent ifdny: "You can draw water out of a water-well," said the Hatter, "so I should think you could draw treacle out of a treacle-well eh, stupid?" Oddly, the piece which deserved a title most due to its clarity and simplicity was the third one, "Untitled," choreographed by Janice Birnbaum. After forty minutes of frantic avant-garde, the audience was treated to this relatively straightforward (and certainly lovely) technical accomplishment. No one was talking over the Dormouse's head here and the program drifted sweetly into intermission. Of course, Birnbaum had the decided advantage of dealing with the least "modern" piece of music, Earle Brown's 1965 "String-Quartet." To my nakedly common eye, the movements in "Untitled" seemed to be the most technically proficient of the night, and the transitions seemed to be the smoothest. The tone of the piece hummed along a single creative nerve: it was slow, deliberate, eerie and faintly sad. The four women who danced (Wendy Biller, Roz Jacobowitz, Joy Sheppard, and Betsey Wagner) seemed perfectly suited to one another's — . — — — movements. The second half of Summer Dance 75 was the strongest. I feel sorry for the scattering of March Hares who filed out at the intermission, never to return. At a very uncomplicated level, Frank Maraschiello's "A Gentle Parade" the fourth piece in the show was the easiest to watch: there were only two people on stage (Frank himself, and Holly Stoehr). They both looked beautiful. I mean, they looked preternaturally large and physically gorgeous in smooth, gull white leotards faintly etched with red and green words and designs. Frank is to be commended for more than the prowess and beauty of himself and his partner and for more than the graceful (though somewhat disconnected) involved; I think his opening was soberly brilliant, a real existential tour-de force. There was a jumble of television sets in one corner at the rear of the stage (the only props used in the program, by the way). A deadpan Frank strolled in, carrying what sounded like a transistor radio blaring Italian opera. He set down his gear, stripped off a jacket he was wearing, turned on the televisions (the screens were blank silver), and commenced to warm-up for the dance. (Holly Stoehr had drifted in mysteriously.) The scene had all the dead calm and ambiance of breakfast with a wife of seventeen years. — — movements Vet there was an aura of complete, though misplaced, which Stoehr and Maraschiello proceeded to act out when the warm-up was done, and the radio was off, and when they had drifted back onto stage after a brief stroll off stage to "get ready." Someone pointed out to me that the transitions between movements in this piece were too abrupt. That may have been so, but the paradoxical aura of dead health was enough to dispell any technical missteps. The program ended on a light note with Robert Coe's "Complications tor Three," danced by Coe and Janice Birnbaum and Cheryl Johnson to Lejaren Hiller's "Machine Music for Piano, Percussion and Tape" (1964). This music seemed perfectly suited to what I think are Coe's basic choreographic strengths: mime (of a rather to accommodate the angular variety probably technological rhythms of the music), leaps and runs (his leaping especially was very impressive and smooth), and other aspects of the dramatic possibilities of movement. There was some kind of queer, unfathomable love interest in this piece (I don't want to impose my own theories), but it was basically of the lighthearted variety. Zodiaque is a young company barely a year old. But like the Dormouse who sat near me and who wore the paper hat probably dreams of "your basic hammer," I dream of "your basic music" and hope the next Zodiaque program uses it. They were running up a glass mountain here, like the one in the fairy tale. Their goal was sincere and attractive, but it took a lot of skidding and arm flailing and false sexuality — - were telling stories. The second half was threatening to begin, so the Chief Dormouse gave his paper hat an extra twist and slumped lower in his chair. Somebbdy was about to start talking over his head again. Alice felt dreadfully puzzled. The Hatter's remark seemed to her to have no sort of meaning in it, and yet it was certainly English. some way understandable. (In fact, the strength of the whole program might have been its offering us a way to listen to this weird music.) The weakness of the dance may have been the necessity of inventing mimic patterns and dramatic sequences which were clearly superimposed on the music itself the only theme of which was chaos. "Dissertations," the second piece in the five-part program, was choreographed by Linda Swiniuch (who performed in it as well with the Company's four men)! It was inspired by three of Morton Feldman's — — It is possible to have great sympathy Alices (who were puzzled and kind) and the Dormice (who were asleep). Modern music and certainly modern dance requires a certain patience, a certain forgetfulness, and a certain lapse into fantasy if one is to understand it at all. To paraphrase a recent critic: "Things are often like that in dance; one accepts a kind of dream logic in what one sees. Though dance may haunt the imangination, it does not trouble the intellect. It's an imaginative world we enter when we go to the dance and the fafct that we are unable to formulate meanings only strengthens its power to affect — — compositions. — cunning to get to the top. THe music rose and fell, cresting in brief moments of high tension and activity and rolling back into moments characterized by little musical activity or energy. Swiniuch used the varied pace of the music to good thematic effect: in the times of little musical activity, each of the dancers fell into a passive role expressive of boredom, frustration or emptiness (in short, everyday life): whistling, stretching, counting numbers, reciting the alphabet or lying down.

Billed as "an entertainment based on the songs, plays, stories, poems and sayings" of ttife lady whose presence captivated the New York literary and social scene of the twenties, the theatrical adaptation by Thomas Fontana provided an eager audience with just that entertainment. Crowded into an intimate space, a small and economically designed stage established an effective connection between audience and performers. Using only the most essential props, three young and energetic performers worked well together to present a rather lengthy sampling of Dorothy Parker material. Such pieces as "Lunch at the Algonquin" and "On Writing and Writers," which were included in the first act, were amusing and lively potpourris of the writer's fast and caustic quips. Mrs. Parker, as she was often referred to by the players, had a piercingly cynical view of events and persons who crossed her life. Her particular talent drew from her almost uncanny ability to comment on these elements with a sense of humor tailor made to beguile most and enrage others. — Smiles thru the heartbreak In everything that she wrote, be it the familiar tune "I Wished On The Moon" from The Big Broadcast of 1936 or the short poem, "Resume," the recurrent themes of disappointing love and the hardship of life dominate. A particularly attractive monologue that highlighted the latter portion of the show was "A Telephone Call." Well-acted by Patricia Weber, it concerns a young woman driven to near-madness by the anxiety of a promised call from her lover. It is an effective example of Dorpthy Parker's use of humor to shield deeper and more tragic feelings of rejection and hurt. Less engaging was the more flippant excerpt from High Society entitled, "A Way to Succeed on the Stage." In this piece, a young actress, portrayed nicely by Pamela Kilburn, directs her advice to the audience. She encourages those interested in a stage career to' act somewhat like she did, by raising her skirt before interested producers. From a more modern standpoint, this approach loses some of its original humor due to its obvious datedness. Board against the wall "We're up against the wall. We need people," pleads Benders, who reports that the 1975-76 directorships of the literary arts, video, film and technical services committees, as well as the bookkeeper's job and a tentative position as office manager (now half of the Division Director's own job, which also includes acting as "the accountable agent between Sub-Board and Union Board"), are currently up for grabs. The present coordinators in charge of concerts, coffeehouses, the gallery, and dance and dramatic arts are all expected to re-apply for their positions this summer, but newcomers are invited to present their, qualifications anyway, as a continual re-evaluation of committee effectiveness is one of Benders' primary goals. "I went right through the University Directory page by page" to compile a mailing list for the press releases that were sent to campus organizations and adacemic departments. Benders explained, but the addressees' apparent refusal to cooperate in his membership drive has so far contributed to his difficulties. Requirements are as loose as possible applicants need only display "some interest in cultural events" and "at least an openness to learn the business" but few prospective chairpeople have gotten close enough to the workshops evto , — - IF YOU LIKE metro bonu/ BAMBOO You'll love Our toil UP SHADES Split Match Stick s, Tortise Shell Finish FINCES (That's Itightl) A Ft. x 15 Ft.

In a charming and eloquent voice, the lady of the evening recited a poem she had written early in her life called, "The Little Old Lady in Lavender Silk."

Picture it that way and you have a highly accurate description of Popeye Doyle, the NYC cop portrayed by Hackman in William Gene Friedkin's The French Connection now back among us in John Frankenheimer's French Connection II. Doyle has a certain cunning (sonething of necessity for one in his trade, it seems). But he's a a vulgar basically lout, bulldoaing man who possesses two qualities valuable to that trade.

To describe his activities in French Connection II is to collide with an oblique question: if you pile enough absurdities onto one another, will ybu eventually reach a point where they make a sort of sense?

His French with begins and ends From "Mademoiselle Armentieres.*' His first few days angularly are in Marseilles unproductive. We begin to wonder why Doyle was sent there at all.

Yet, when Charnier has Doyle kidnapped and questioned, it makes all the Caught-22 sense* in the world; if this were a true story, that is beyond doubt would happen. exactly what (Granted that the reason it was done here was simply that Doyle is the hero, Charnier the villain, and that a confrontation is drathaticllly unavoidable; it's still, a notable very least, at of near-lunatic achievement insight.) Thin accompaniment as Doyle's French counterpart, it is to Fernando Rey (Charnier) and to Hackman that most of the film's strength belongs. Director Frankenheimer ends the film when their final confrontation ends, without benefit of denouement. , The saddest aspect of French Connection II is its revelation of of John the decline Frankenheimer. Though some sequences are in themselves fairly gripping, he doesn't manage to combine the elements of the film into a coherent whole.

There is exactly one effective moment in the film: as Hackman sees his wife driving away with her clandestine lover, we- see the light glinting off of Hackman's wedding ring. Night Moves tries to duplicate the kind of humid, miasmic that Orson tension Welles achieved in Touch of Evil; the Night Moves touch, however, is all thumbs.

For most of the set she accompanied herself on electric guitar and the texture, supported only by bass and drums, was a little thin. I think her live sound would be greatly augmented by another musician on keyboards or guitar. Waldman's set, which ran a little over an hour, consisted of songs from all three of her albums, mostly uptempo, even though the slower, softer ones drew the best reaction. Among others, she performed "Gringo En Mexico," "Baby Don't You Go," "Boat Man," "Western Lullabye," and of course, "Mad Mad Me." The last of these is probably her best known song, as well as the best written, and, despite the murmur at the bar, it came off very well. All things considered, it was a good (but not fantastic) concert by an underrated woman in an unusual atmosphere.

She is often compared with Maria, but don'tbelieve it. She has a lot more class (and frizzier hair too), and has never done a song about getting laid in the desert. She does, however, have a small but loyal following, and I think it likely that every Waldman fan in Buffalo went to see her at one of the four shows July 1 and 2. Wendy has a very distinctive voice, equally at home singing blues or ballads, and she beats the pants off the likes of Muldaur or Bonnie Raitt, as far as I'm concerned. Her songwriting, although inconsistent, is occasionally brilliant, surpassing even Joni Mitchell for lyrical content. 1 understanding acting, Popeye Doyle easily is the most interesting of the dubious breed of cinematic might-makes-right vigilantes.

A year ago? it seems a lifetime ago; something you read about somewhere in a history book; it seems longer than a year because we have been trying to forget it. In July, 1975, the geraniums bloom in Lafayette Park across from the White House just as they did then; the weather is hot and humid as it was a year ago, and the mood of the nation toward Watergate is still uncertain, and enervated. Last year it was numbed, too; it leaped briefly into a firestorm of anger when the President fired the special prosecutor, but quieted again as the Ervin committee ended its work and the House Rodino committee passed interminable weeks behind closed doors. At the last though, the mood began to change, showing hidden reserves of indignation as the drama moved to its incredible climax. Before long the Supreme Court would speak unanimously, forcing out the final tapes, including the conversation, June 23, 1972, that contained Nixon’s agreement to use the CIA to halt the FBI’s investigation. That ended it. That was the “smoking pistol.” What produced those final weeks a year ago? After election in 1972 the president’s popularity rating near an all time high was 68 percent. He won by a landslide: 61 percent to 38 percent, endorsed by 753 daily newspapers to 56 for McGovern, whose inept campaign never got off the ground. The nation relaxed. This would be a calmer period under a “new” Nixon. As Henry Kissinger explained, ‘There’s a certain you know, it’s a big word but it’s a certain heroic quality about how he conducts his business.” Indeed there was bravura about it; those Graustarkian costumes Nixon approved for White House guards, and the trumpet fanfare used to herald his entrance on state occasions. And all the time the man in the White House knew that a crime had been committed, that he had participated in the crime in the cover up, and that upon him now a trap seemed to be closing, more and more threatening. - - - - r MOJTHZ COH6PV TRB a> ° In July, a year ago, the final defense was giving way as the president's, celebrated lawyer, Janies D. St. Clair, tried to convince the black-robed justices that the confidentiality of presidential conversations should be absolute. Justice Marshall, July 8, posed a hypothetical case: if confidentiality were absolute, he asked, how could a judge, say. be exposed, who had made a deal with a President for money? “Why." St. Clair answered brightly, “the remedy is clear, he should be impeached.” “But how are you going to impeach him.” asked Marshall, “if you don’t know about it?” St. Clair lamely replied that “very few things forever are hidden.” A year ago one could guess which way the Court would decide. It had taken a long time to reach this point. Sunday papers of June 18. 1972 carried paragraphs about five men arrested in the Watergate headquarters of the Democratic National Committee. In a rented room nearby were 32 one-hundred-dollar bills and the notebook of “E. Hunt" with a notation "W.H." Could this mean White House? Presidential press secretary Ronald Ziegler said he wouldn't comment “on a third-rate burglary attempt.” (White House reporters arc still over-reacting to this by asking mean questions of Ron Ncssen.) The New York Times could hardly take it seriously; it headlined subsequent stories “Watergate Caper,” or “Watergate Whodunit.” And all the time from then on, behind the scenes, the president guarded his secret and felt himself under attack from the “elite,” “the intellectuals," the “Establishment,” and responded in kind. There were a lot of secrets coming to light in Washington a year ago. They are still making news today. In a little-noticed unanimous report the Ervin committee revealed the price tags on brokeraged foreign envoy posts, noting that Herbert Kalmbach, the Nixon fund-raiser, was “the first person in modern times to be convicted for selling an ambassadorship.” It printed the list of Western European ambassadors and their contributions to the Nixon 1972 campaign. A New York Times story says that Mrs. Farkas now facing possible indictment, blames others for tempting her millionaire husband to buy her an i-to We notice To the Editor I just wanted to express my thanks to the many people at maintenance for the fine job they are doing.

He told Rabbi Korff, leader of a pro-Nixon group and author of a just published book, The Personal Nixon: Staying on the Summit, that Watergate would be remembered as “the broadest but the thinnest scandal in American history.” The interview was released, July 16 at San Clemente. Nixon took a forgiving attitude toward his enemies. As for this column, we wrote, (July 6, 1974) “Various events are finally approaching conjunction.” We were anxious the strain shows. “What in God’s name,” we asked, “is the public thinking? We think the public is out there waiting, far ahead of Congress. It has lost track of details; it has made up its mind; somehow or other we should get another president." For a year America has tried to forget Watergate. Now, maybe, we can look back at it with dearer eyes. - RrkUy, 11 July 1975 Th* . um. « �I K»W' Hfwe euy Trtt 6Ee«p HOW, It'Ll, w c«t>s t**« time the j s sws rfrtiiscSepuiE f«* iI?

Since 1968, the New York State Bicentennial Commission has been working with local cities and counties in developing programs to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the U.S. In an effort to increase public awareness of the historical significance of Buffalo, the local chapter of the Bicentennial Commission has been busy planning events to commemorate' two centuries of independence. Erie County got a headstart June 17 by celebrating Bunker Hill day in Forest Lawn with a for the Americans killed in the Cemetery v Battle of Bunker Hill. Forest Lawn contains the remains of people who fought in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Civil War as well as famous Indian leaders who first inhabited Buffalo over 200 years ago. The festivities began with a colorful minute century man parade and the firingof County muskets, followed" by Executive Ned Regan placing a wreath of artificial flowers on a monument dedicated 100 years ago to the dead heroes of Bunker Hill. Lady witness The crowd then moved to the Erie County Historical Museum where it was addressed by Richard Brown, Professor of History at Buffalo State College, on the Battle of Bunker Hill and the role played by women. He said one of the few official accounts of the battle was received from Ann Holton, a “loyalist lady” who reconditioned to fight the victorious battle ofLake Erie in 1813. Hie olden days Not far from the State University at Buffalo, on Main Street, where Mt. St. Joseph’s Academy now stands, an army witnessed the entire battle from a hilltop. Newspaper and other written reports were based mostly on hearsay, he claimed. The local Bicentennial Commission is proud of the role the city of Buffalo played in American history and it has done a great deal of research into this area. For example: If you were living along Niagara St. or in downtown Buffalo in 1812, chances are you would not be stuck at home with nothing to da you’d be too busy fighting — the British. If you were living along Lafayette Square, Pearl or Eagle Streets, your house would have been completely destroyed when the British burned Buffalo in 1813. One of the major battles in Western New York during the War of 1812 took place on Niagara and Tonawanda Streets and the most important fortification on the American shore, Fort Tompkins, stood at 1010 Niagara Street. Commodore Oliver Perry parked his naval vessels near the mouth of Scajaquada Creek until they were camp harboring 300 soldiers thrived during the 1812 clash with the British. Believe it or not, Buffalo was inhabited as early as the 18th century. The first white settlement in Buffalo was founded in 1768 on South Michigan Avenue but was evacuated one year later by the British. The first white women ever to reside in the city of Buffalo were brought here as captives by the Seneca Indians in 1780. If things in the “Queen City” were not more exciting 200 years ago, they were certainly different. For example, if you decided to visit the site of War Memorial Stadium in 1795, you would see an Indian trading post called Palmer’s Tavern. In 1852 along 238 Main Street, you would find a Well’s Fargo Station where the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce Building now stands. The present home of the Niagara Bank once housed Grover rontier F Cleveland’s law practice while the Cloister’s Restaurant on Delaware Avenue began its career in 1869 as Mark Twain’s Riding Stables. It might also interest all former chairpersons of the Student Association (SA) Speakers Bureau to know that the Buffalo community had no trouble getting the Marquis de Lafayette and Abraham Lincoln to speak where the Main Place Mall now stands. UB Ten trials Student acquitted of criminal trespass charge in city court by Dana Dubbs and David Sites Special to The Spectrum Ishmael Gonzalez, one of ten students arrested at the April 25 demonstration at Hayes Hall, was acquitted of criminal trespass Friday morning by a jury in City Court after twenty minutes of deliberation. Additional charges of resisting arrest and third-degree assault were dismissed by Judge Sam Green earlier in the morning. The assault charge was based on accusations that Mr. Gonzalez the first of seven witnesses to punched the glass window in the testify for the prosecution. He entrance door to President Robert asserted that he was able to Ketter’s office suite, causing positively distinguish Mr. flying glass to cut Campus Gonzalez from the other sixty Security Officer Charles Scripp on people assembled in Hayes Hall the nose. The charge was that morning. A crucial point to dismissed after Mr. Scripp’s the prosecution’s case, however, medical report disclosed that he was whether or not the had received no treatment for the five-minute warning statement which Dr. Sigglekow read to the wound. Judge Green dismissed the demonstrators before the arrests charge of resisting arrest after was clear. prosecution testimony A passage from the statement by witnesses showed that neither of said, “You will be given five the two arresting officers minutes to clear this building. identified themselves to the Any individual who does not defendant, wore uniforms, or abide by this request will be asked asked Mr. Gonzalez to present to identify. himself or herself.

In his opening opportunity to a show-cause statement, defense attorney John hearing later this morning in the Daley told the six-member jury President’s office ...” Mr. Daley said that, according that the incident at Hayes Hall on April 25 was a “microcosm of to this rule, outsiders, not students, should be arrested for Attica.” Siggelkow, Vice criminal trespass. Richard At one point during the President for Student Affairs, was , cross-examination by Mr. Daley, Judge Green had to admonish Dr. Siggelkow for being “paternalistic" in his answers, and for not responding directly to the questions. Ron Stein, Associate Director of Student Affairs and Services, testified on behalf of the prosecution to support the charge of assault. He described how upon entering the presidential suite, he saw Officer Scripp bleeding. When asked where he was bleeding from, however, Dr. Stein said he did not know. He also could not identify the defendant. Lee Griffin, Assistant director of Campus Security, testified that he entered the Presidential Suite on April 25 at 8:15 a.m. He said he observed Mr.. Gonzalez in Hayes Hall and stated that he had been “pointed out to him at the previous day’s sit-in because he seemed to be assuming “a leadership role.” Mr. Griffin later shifted his testimony to say that Mr. Gonzalez was “a new arrival on the scene,” and that he was unaware that he was even a student. •Cool it’ Mr. Griffin held that Campus Security officers stationed inside the presidential suite intended to push the door open. He claimed he himself was not pushing the door prior to the window breaking, but that officer Danek and Campus Security Director Patrick Glenrio- vere.

At one point in- Mr. Griffin’s testimony, he stated that the officers in the suite had no weapons or nightsticks, and none were used. But he was contradicted when Mr. Daley displayed a photograph showing one of the officers coming out of the suite with a nightstick in his right hand. Wednesday, Mr. Scripp took the witness stand to substantiate the charges of assault and resisting arrest against Mr. Gonzalez. He testified that upon arriving at —continued on page 4 — �Board co Attica defendants Food Service will seek an average 8 percent hike in board contract prices in the fall, primarily resulting from “a slight loss” suffered by the Food Service Division over the past year, Director Donald Hosie announced. An average contract price rise of 8 percent will yield a 22 percent rise in anticipated revenues for Food Service, due to an increase in the number of students living in the dorms,' according to Bruce Campbell, Student Association (SA) Vice President for Sub-Board I and a Faculty Student Association (FSA) board member. At, that rate, the Food Service Division would make a profit of $82,000, Mr. Campbell said. Mr. Hosie disputed the concept of a Food Service profit, claiming that replacement of furniture and equipment such as silverware, is not covered in the regular budget and must therefore be provided for through cash reserves. Some of the furniture in the Rathskeller, for example, is in bad need of “In he said. replacement, addition, an increase in the cost of meat can wipe us out despite $3 million in sales,” he said. Food Service will offer four of the five present contract options next year and will add one new one. Options that will be continued include the 10-meal plan, in which a student can eat any two meals a day, five days a week; a 13-meal are found innocent Three former Attica inmates were found innocent by a State Supreme Court jury of charges of assault and coercion against three prison guards during the uprising in 1971. Freed were Robert Dugarm of Buffalo, and Michael Phillips of Ruiz Quintana ofNew York City, following a jury deliberation of only 2Vi hours last Thursday night. The state had dropped kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment charges after a pre-trial hearing before judge Theodore S. Kasler. The charges stemmed from an incident in which three Attica guards were forced out of the prison office in C Block by a mob armed with tear gas, fire hoses and burning rap. None of the officers named any of the three defendants as participants in the attack. Their only accusers were two former inmates George Kirk and Antonio Ramos. According to the jury foreperson, Elaine Britt of Tonawands, the jury entirely discounted the testimony of Mr. Ramos, a self-admitted informer in the prison for seven years, and felt that the testimony of Mr. Kirk was not sufficiently convincing. After the verdict, a group of people assembled in the courtroom cheered, applauded and chanted “thank you” to the jurors as they left. The three acquittals bring, the total number of freed Attica defendants to four. Dacajeweiah (John Hill) and Charley Joe Pernasalice have been convicted of murder and second degree attempted assault, respectively. - ["stdrewide” 5RLE • RECORD RUNNER im Th« New !

New York State Assembly leaders are reneging on an earlier to pledge consider decrminalizafion in this session, according to charges from New York NORML director Frank Fioramonte. Previously assured Until about two weeks ago, Mr. Fioramonte assorted Democratic leaders assured him that a decriminalization measure would be reported out of committee and probably passed by the Assembly. Similarly, Governor Carey’s office assured NORML that the governor would sign such a measure if passed. Assembly leaders said the measure will not be brought out on the floor, because they allegedly fear inaction in the Republican-controlled Senate, Mr. Fioramonte explained. Mr. Fioramonte lashed out at this, saying that the Democrats should have the courage of their convictions and let the Republicans bear the blame for inaction if the Senate should fail to act. “If it doesn’t get passed this session, they won’t do it next session either it’s an election year,” the NORML spokesperson noted. At the federal level, several decriminalization measures have been introduced in both houses. The Javits-Koch Bill, introduced originally by Senator Jacob Javits (R., N.Y.) and then-Senator Harold Hughes (D., Iowa), eliminates all penalties for personal possession of up to four ounces of marijuana. And the Marijuana Control Act of 1975, sponsored in the Senate by Mr. Javits, Alan Cranston (D., Calif.), Edward Brooke (R., Mass.), and Gaylord Nelson (D., Wisconsin), and in the House by a bi-partisan group of 18 congressmen, would establish a civil-citation system for minor marijuana violations.

University suffers Budget cuts force belt tightening by Howard Greenblatt Campus Editor As further reductions in the 1975-76 budget of the State University of New York (SUNY) hit this campus last week, a University Budget Committee composed of students, faculty, and administrators was formed to examine how the additional cuts can be absorbed. Out of an approximate $7.5 million reduction in the entire SUNY budget, $1,069,200 was slashed from the State University at Buffalo appropriation. This brings the total University cutback for this year to $2,835,000, or a total expenditure ceiling of $82,895,600, President Robert Ketter reported in a letter to student leaders, faculty and staff dated June 17, 1975. The new cuts, which Dr. Ketter said will “have a serious impact on this campus,” led to the formation of the University Budget Committee which began meeting last week. Double role The role of the new committee is twofold, explained Charles Fogel, Assistant Executive Vice President. The committee will have to recommend to the President ways in which the “target dollar increase” of approximately $ 1.6 million (as a result of an enrollment increase of 595 students for next year) “can most profitably be used to further the objectives of our institution.” Despite the “target increase,” another base level budget cut of $1,150,000 (and possibly even $750,000 more) will have to be made for next year, Mr. Fogel said. Additionally, the $1.6 million “cannot be relied upon” since it is only a “request,” but the $1,150,000 cut is “a sure thing,” he said. Strictly confidential Although the proceedings of the committee are kept “strictly confidential,” Mr. Fogel admitted that committee inembers have “identified areas’’ where the cuts will probably be implemented, and are considering ways in which possible income from target increases may be distributed. “Eventually the committee’s findings will be made public,” Mr. Fogel said. Student Association President Michele Smith and Graduate Student Association President Terry DiFilippo are the only two student members on the committee. “My priorities in future budgets are of course with undergraduate education and student services,” Ms. Smith said. While Ms. Smith does not wish “to see any rise in the faculty-student ratio,” she did admit a willingness to trim programs and services which are “graduate student oriented.” Specifically, Ms. Smith feels the libraries are primarily beneficial to graduate students. “Libraries aren’t sacred,” she asserted. Redundant administrative functions, central Xerox duplicating, and miscellaneous administrative expenses are among other areas where Ms. Smith feels cuts can be made. Mr. DiFilippo, representing about 4000 graduate students, was unavailable for comment. -NEW IN THIS AREA Lowest Prices in four years! - MONGOLIAN BARBEQUE (WEEKEND ONLY - SAT & SUN. 3:00 - Record Runner 10:00 pm) University Plaza A different sating txparisncs, choose your own moats Peter's Chop Suey Restaurant 3457 Genesee at Union — j H AIRSTYUNG j 634-1976 Joe s Theatre Barber j 10S5 Kanmora Ava.

Failure of health professionals to recognize the , sexual drive in the handicapped stem from our misconceptions about sex and our “cultural notions” of the handicapped, according to Ms. Kaiser. “We are all sold on the Madison Avenue notion of sex that it is only for the young, beautiful and energetic,” she said. A common stereotype of handicapped people is that they are “not quite human,” she explained. “We see tham as either not needing sex or over-sexed.” We are doing more harm to the handicapped by denying that they are normal human beings with normal drives and outlets, Ms. Kaiser emphasized. As a result, these people are often in greater need of a “loving, intimate relationship with the person of their choice,” she said. - Patients sexual needs Ms. Kaiser criticized the health profession for ignoring the sexual needs of their patients, citing a study done On quadra and parapalegics which found that the “overwhelming” majority would rather be able to have sexual intercourse than to walk.

Buffalo has facilities for sexual counseling, including the adolescent unit at Buffalo Childrens hospital where there is a lot of “sexual turmoil,” is an indication of the “mortar and bricks” we have built in our heads against sex, she said. Ms. Kaiser then showed a film of a handicapped couple engaging in oral sex. She pointed out that though the male was quadrapalegic and could not have an erection, both the male and female were stimulated by these activities. “How many orgasms would you say she had?” Ms. Kaiser asked the audience after the film. A reception will be held on Friday, June 27th for Rose Friedman, Secretary to Bob Henderson, Associate Director of Norton Hall, who is retiring as of July 1,1975. Her friendly smile and willingness to help is' admired by all who came into contact with her during her many years of service to students and staff alike. We all wish Rose a happy and healthy she will be gone, retirement but not forgotten. — “Between three and five,” someone responded. “And I have young men in my classes with two arms and legs who tell me they have not been able to give their wife or girlfriend one,” Ms. Kaiser said. Ongoing drive She then explained that intercourse is not the only form of sex necessary for stimulation. When an individual cannot engage in intercourse due to an illness or physical handicap, the sexual drive does not have to suffer. “Any part of our body can be trained to respond eroticall,” she said.

Hans Pittner, a student planning to reside in Goodyear during the summer sessions, deposited $400 worth of record albums, a television set and a short-wave radio in the trunk room at the end of the spring semester. Between that time and May 27, they all disappeared. The records were later located in another student’s room, soon after Campus Security and University Housing began investigating the theft. No charges were placed against the student. 1 The other items \ remain missing. —continued from page 1— .. downstairs, into Hayes basement and through a door.

Things can happen “The room is kept locked at all times,” he continued, “although things can happen. The janitor may have opened the door, left for a moment, and by the time he returned a student had gotten inside. If he closed the door then, the student could have simply stayed in the room until he was gone, and then left.” Mr. Cudek recalled a student last year who “by skill or by accident” fashioned himself an Ellicott Complex master floor key. The student was apprehended and prosecuted, but it could happen again, Mr. Cudek noted., Students with large articles such as bikes, stereos, television sets and boxes of books and records, can leave them in the trunk room by contacting the maintenance person in Goodyear Hall. The student is issued a card allowing him to deposit hii belongings from the end of the spring semester to the beginning of the first summer session. A tag with the owner’s name is put on each box or trunk, and a portion is ripped off and given to the student. When the student returns for the belongings, he is asked to show his I.D. card and his tag. Mistaken identity “That may be normal procedure, but that’s not what happened in this case,” said the student in whose room Mr. Pittner’s records were found. “My roommate mistook Hans’ box of records for mine, but the maintenance man didn’t check the tags or anything. The box he brought up wasn’t mine I saw that immediately but it was soaked with water. So I took them all out of the jackets and dried them so they wouldn’t warp.” The records apparently were wet before the box was placed in the — — room. Perry Shustack, Inter-Residence Council (IRC) Summer Coordinator, commented, “No record is kept of who puts what in and who takes what out. Despite what Mr. Cudek says. I’ve heard of the maintenance map unlokcing the door and leaving it unlocked while he is in his office, a little way down the hall.” Mr. Shustack said there is really no alternative for students wishing to store their belongings at the University. He added that in the past, when IRC had a store room, things also disappeared. ... — — — A.T.A.

The energy is harnessed by drilling wells in the producing areas, bringing the hot water to the surface and using it to turn electric generators. Contributing Editor In the wake of rapidly decreasing oil supplies, alternate methods of energy production are being explored. One of the most promising is geothermal energy which, according to Carel Otte, Vice President and Manager of Union Geothermal Division, has the capacity to save this country 700,000 barrels of oil per day. Geothermal energy is the natural heat of the earth transmitted to subsurface water which can be ' Stored heat The biggest problem is to find an area that has the right combination of stored heat in the subsurface rock and abundant quantities of steam or hot water to bring to the surface, Dr. Otte said. Presently about 50 countries are developing geothermal energy. The area where it is most abundant is the Pacific “Ring of fure,” extending from the tip of South America through North America, Alaska, Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia. In the United States the most promising areas .are found in the far West from Canada to the Mexican border. The United States’ biggest geothermal development is about 75 miles north of San Francisco. It is the largest facility in the world, generating 400,000 kilowats and it is expanding. Dr. Otte said it will eventually have a capacity of over 500.000 kilowats, enough to supply a city of TOMORROW NITE — 8:30 pm 500.000 people. Worth the price The cost of drilling a typical well is about $500,000, but Dr. Otte feels the cost is well worth it. If geothermal energy is used it will leave valuable oil and natural gas for more critical uses. "For instance, the 20 kilowatts of generating capacity that could be developed in the next two decades, would be equal) to almost 700,000 barrels of oil per day. Furthermore, this amount of power developed domestically would result in a foreign exchange savings of about $3.8 billion annually for the nation, Dr. Otte said. Dr. Otte noted that while they have been successful in overcoming technological problems in developing the resource, they have run into problems from government and special interest groups. Some of the problems concerned ownership of the resource, tax treatment and leasing of government lands. v \ “These barriers have slowed development of this resource at a time when the nation vitally needs new tapped and used to generate electricity, explained and successful alternate energy sources,” Dr. Otte Dr. Otte. “The mass of molten rock, or magma, argued. “If the United States is serious about its found below the earth’s crust is usually too deep for commitment to become more energy self-sufficient its energy to be useful, but in a few areas it works and protect itself against future international itself to the surface.

The plan, which replaces a quota of five men for every two women admitted, is not expected to bring an immediate change in the composition of the student body. But spokespersons for the Harvard office of administrations promised that “through more vigorous recruiting” of women applicants, the male-female ratio should drop to 3-2 “within a reasonable period.” Under the plan, admissions, financial aid and recruitment will be handled through a single admissions office. Women will apply to this office and, if accepted, will be admitted to both Harvard and Radcliffc College classes.

The controversy arose from and of events irreducible minimum of confusion in or secrecy the not froth prejudice in hearers itself. abortive quality of the investigation The contrast with the Rockefeller Commission is obvious. Even President Ford, while congratulating Rockefeller and saying the report could restore CIA credibility, went on to add that there can be no cover-qp because other investigations will follow, or because Ed Levi is a fine man. The president accepted the report while saying we should withhold judgment. Yet the report’s job was to facilitate judgment, and to convince the rest of us that its own norms of judgment were sound ones. President Ford assured us he did not want to be the a Monday morning quarterback. But that is just we assignment given to investigators. What would think of a judge who, when asked for a ruling, said it would be wrong to judge the doings of others? The reference to Attorney General Levi’s integrity was beside the point. The report should have had its own credibility, entirely aside from criminal proceedings. The Warren Commission did not prosecute Jack Ruby. It had a much wider task of public elucidation. The attorney general, in this case, may not prosecute individuals for any number ambiguity in the law, the statute of of reasons limitations, the death of participants in illegal - activities (which go back twenty years, the president ;tells us), the use of “executive privilege” to protect National Security Council members. The failure to prosecute now does not assure us that the CIA has either the moral law or the stayed within the law federal statutes. Assuring us of that was the job of the Rockefeller Commission, and by the president’s own statement, the commission failed. Why the failure? Was it the fault of Rockefeller, of staff members; a goof in timing, Ford, of or publicity, organization? None of these things. The — .

Evil is the fact of total need. The base evil of Dr Ketter’s mind is that it must depend upon our taking its authority. Convention, anyway, in these circles of university bureaucrats and campus security police is a proper mode, and seldom rises to any height above general conventionality, having its roots in what other men think. This vital phase of rational genius came as it met straight on the threat of an overwhelming expansion of consciousness that followed the breakthrough in the mid-Sixties on all levels. The inspiration of Reason was to close off consciousness in an area that was civilized, white, superior in culture, practical and Christian (or at least rational in religion). The agreement of rational men was to quarantine the fever of thought. Rationalism erected a taboo of social shame that still lasts against the story of the aversions mingle. the So one Dr. Ketter defines the essence of the soul, against the dream and inner life of men the prejudices were might by over, we be the world that be heard protected, that rationalist persuasion lost.

What was desired was a convincing assurance that the CIA has not been out of control and engaged in shabby activities. That assurance will never be forthcoming, because it has been out of control and engaged in morally shabby operations for some time. The CIA has inculcated in its members and leaders a feeling that they are above the law; that anything they do for what they conceive to be the national interest is justifiable in those terms alone; lied to and that all outsiders even officials, must be power their is an to check tricked; that any attempt be foiled and must attack on the country’s security like any other enemy attack. The name of the CIA is never going to be cleared. The more we learn about it, the more dependable it appears. Its directors have lied to Congress. Its members have routinely broken the law inside the agency, and some have felt commissioned to do so even after they leave the firm. Its defenders fall back on every sleazy argument available. The only cleansing thorough enough, the only offenses, is one proportionate the the agency’s abolition. The CIA is a secret empire with more resources for protecting itself than for protecting the country. Intelligence work goes on in many bureaus where it can still be controlled.

Much of Mutrux's script has the air of an improvisation worked out by illiterate eighth-grade hoods in a required speech class. Cameraman William A. Fraker and his director go to the opposite extreme with their over-choreographed car crashes and shoot-outs. Speeding away from a grocery store he is accused of having robbed, Bobby destroys Rose's car, which topples over, their bodies bouncing wildly around inside it, in agonizing slow motion. Mutrux's method of adding new life to this embarrassing cliche involves intercutting speeded-up footage of local kids on skate-boards with closeups of the bloody, utterly devastated faces of the two accident victims while "Do the Locomotion" continues to blare from the irrepressible car radio. The joke, or whatever it is, is really rotten but Mutrux still manages to surpass himself in the final sequence, when Bobby's inevitable downfall (again, of course, filmed in slow motion) is accompanied by Elton John's "Benny and the Jets," audience applause and all. — — Must a film about bored, awkward young people inevitably be ineloquent and boring? "No!" cries Truffaut every time The 400 Blows is rerun; "No!" insists Lindsay Anderson in If...; and Paul Lucas' American Graffiti calls out just as insistently,/if a little less powerfully, that the correlation between theme and development need not always be as close as it is in Aloha, Bobby and Rose. But ineffective parody is always a lot easier to produce than honest examination as well as a lot more easily palatable to certain movie producers and audiences and the ever-popular legend of the causeless rebel has found yet another uninspired interpreter in Aloha's writer-director Floyd Mutrux. Mutrux's little morality tale deals with an auto mechanic named Bobby whose shiny, blood-red '68 Camaro can't quite compensate for all the bad breaks which make up the ill-fitting mosaic of his life, and Rose, a young unwed mother whose most prized possessions, a pair of tickets to Hawaii, were traded in for a tricycle when she appeared as a walking pizza on Let's Make a Deal. They team up accidentally after he repairs her Volkswagen and what begins as an innocent evening of ice-skating and making out in her car leads to murder, a bloody smash-up, escape, continual hysteria on Rose's part, and a climax that is as totally predictable as the rest of the plot is nonsensical. — — — Makes no sense The physical and emotional violence doesn't mean either Bobby tries to explain it away as a joke, or anything it's presented as comic relief, or else it's simply too absurd to provoke any reaction other than laughter and the link which the director attempts to establish between the constantly recurring motifs of blood, AM rock music, and cars cruising up and down Sunset Strip doesn't hold together when subjected to any finer tool than Bobby's own muddled mind. Every ad for Aloha, Bobby and Rose reminds us of star Paul LeMat's excellent film debut as John Milner, the high school dropout who didn't quite fit into American Graffiti's world of graduations and senior proms, and Mutrux has further tried to capitalize on his leading man's past success by making Bobby a slightly older, lonelier, but still immediately recognizable Milner. This might not have been such a bad idea Big John's character was, after all, one of the highlights of the far superior earlier film, and the post-teenage loner-looking-for-love is a type which LeMat handles well had Mutrux remembered to provide the actor with a few lines of intelligent dialogue. - - r ■ — — Hey man, y'know As it is, though, his conversation with co-star Dianne Hull is strictly of the "Hey, you wanna you wanna get in the back seat?" variety; no coherent sentences can come out of his mouth (and few from hers) without five minutes of preparatory "Hey, man, uh, y'know"'s and an equal amount ... Conventional soundtrack The steady undercurrent of music, by the way, punctuated occasionally by the disc jockey's impromptu comments on the action, is another direct steal from LeMat's earlier film. But while American Graffiti's soundtrack not only set the time and the mood perfectly, but became a crucial element in the characterizations, providing its listeners with both highly personal escape hatches and, through Wolfman Jack, a group mythology, the songs which back up Aloha's big moments seem to be no more pertinent than a conventional soundtrack or even the six o'clock news. It is as nearly impossible to imagine a non-musical American Graffiti as it is to figure out the significance of the music Mutrux chose for Aloha, Bobby and Rose. The theme of Aloha (now at the Kensington Theater) has been filmed before, and will undoubtedly be attempted many more times; this is just not among the better treatments. As Rose's mother, reminiscing about her dead husband, advises; "Oh yeah, honey, the good ones don't come along every day but when they do ..." When they do, it will presumably be through no fault of Floyd Mutrux's. — �ly not spirit Ramblin' Jack Elliott Adam Mitchell Michael Cooney here Everett Lilly, of the bluegrass came to Toronto's Mariposa Folk first time last weekend, and when Sunday morning he said it all.

Jaws is representative of the disaster film genre in that the profit motive is more highly regarded than the artistic one. It does have the edge over such films as Earthquake and Towering Inferno because those films describe their tragedies in general, impersonal and rather panoramic terms. Jaws' strength is that its disaster is of a highly personal nature and its subject matter is far more realistic than that of the other disaster films released this year Jaws, which will be showing at the Boulevard and Holiday Theaters for about 12 weeks, is adequate entertainment and I emphasize the world "entertainment." It is definitely a suspensful and gruesome film, but I am perplexed by the many filmmakers today whose plenary stress is on creating the most sensational and horrifying film they can, while they totally ignore their medium's potantial as a vehicle for serious artistic expression. — U.B.

Such a phenomenon is Inspector Clouseau of the Surete, as portrayed by Peter Sellers in Blake Edwards' The Return of the Pink Panther. In Clouseau's presence, windows shatter, light bulbs pop out of lamps, revolving doors conspire to separate him from his luggage, glue obstinately fills in the space between him and a chair seat. Even normally docile walls and doors do violence to this scrubbily mustached man in an off-the-rack trench coat, his head topped by a tweedy variant of Chico Marx's pointed hat. — — The missing nose mystery Clouseau arouses in other people an ill-place disbelief in his credibility. Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Herbert Lorn) should know that, if his gun-shaped cigarette lighter and Clouseau are in his office at the same time, Dreyfus' nose is not long for this world. Clouseau's Oriental servant uses surprise attacks on his employer to sharpen the Inspector's eye for danger. Still, even he is taken aback when Clouseau hands him a lit bomb and later remarks that "your little yellow skin was almost blown off." And not the least of Clouseau's effects on people is what he does to movie audiences, whose reactions range from amusement to total hysterics. If Sellers has been out of sight for a spell, it's his material that's been weighting him down; like any actor, he can rise just so far above it. In Return, he reestablishes himself as a major screen comedian, one who can heighten the humor in script or situation but who needn't rely solely on them to be damnably funny. - Our Weekly Reader Meta-Talk by Gerald I. Nierenberg and Henry H. Calero, Poocet Books (paper). I once read a book hardly anyone else knows about called The History of the United States. It was written not long ago by Bill Hutton, a diamond-bright madman who used to own a bar in downtown Buffalo. It is barely a hundred pages tong (and there are a lot of pictures) and it has the distinction of having been printed in Toronto, but it is undoubtedly the best history of this country I have ever read. And the mostjcomplete. I'm sure it's out of print now. Bill Hutton is the Kilgore Trout of American historiography. He has about six fans. Nobody knows where he lives. Expectedly, several of the chapters in The History of the UnitedStates are about the American West. In one of them Hutton pictures Pavy Crockett and Walt Disney talking things over in the bar at a Howard Johnson's somewhere in the midwest. You see, Hutton's most striking historical principle is that he imagines all sorts of people important to this country's image of itself existing all together, at one time, in a place just slightly outside the world as we know it. Whether they are real or not or whether they lived at the same time doesn't matter. Only what is said by one famous person to another in this meta-historical nevernevertand really matters. It makes a good book. Meta-Talk, written by Gerald I. Nierenberg and Henry H. Calero and just released as a paperback by Pocket Books, is a bad book, but it reminds me of Hutton's in one important way: well-known thinkers, writers, and humorists, some of them fictional, are introduced at every conceivable chance (the list of notables runs to 50 or more). They bump heads and exchange clues out of time and out of space, usually quite apart from the authors' the monotonous buzz and hum about "meta-talk" hidden meaning behind ordinary conversation. Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Oliver Hardy, Sigmund Freud, Humpty Dumpty and Aristotle are made to suddenly exist, all together and atxrne time, in'the unlikely world of this hysterically eclectic book. When the authors, a couple of lecture-tour hustlers on the executive circuit, are not calling in heavies to do their talking for them, they are explaining in nearly unreadable fashion what it is we are saying. (Actually, their "exhaustive" lists of phrases and their corresponding meanings can be reduced to a simple axiom: whenever you say something, you mean the opposite.) The underlying purpose of the book, to go on, has all the impact of someone rushing up to you and declaring that he can, beyond the shadow of a doubt, prove that wheels are round. For instance, Nierenberg and Calero offer the world this startling in everyday conversation is startling. That brings me to the "hidden meaning" behind Meta-Talk, the book itself: you must understand that it is the hybrid child of two men who have apparently made a great deal of money talking to business executives about language. There are starbursts of stories and quotations from famous people (and even a few good summaries of previous scholarship by Freud, Aristotle, Bentham and others), but what emerges from these flashes of verbal light is not a powerful or insirfitful book, but absolutely the product of a decidedly dim book Calero, and no matter what fancy Nierenberg company "they keep. They are two zoot-suited salesmen who stumbled leeringly into the fine light of Hutton's meta-historical underworld ("previous scholarship," as they say in the Forward), spiral — - — jnd and Bic pens stiff and steady.

The last chapter, blithely titled i Life, Talk With Everybody," says in i« various skills and techniques that discussed, it may be possible for you ir risk, to get yourself into more of a if The vowel murders In A Shot in the Dark Clouseau declared war on consonants, declaiming at one point, "She shot him in a rit of fealous gage!" Here, he switches his assault to vowels, advising a street musician that he and his "minkey" cannot perform without a "lissence." In trying to clarify "minkey" and "lissence," Clouseau remains oblivious to a bank robbery going on right behind him. Clouseau's manner dictates total awareness and command of everything around him, but control of his own tongue escapes him. Maybe it's because the concept of Clouseau being able to handle anything whatsoever is so absurd that inanimate objects seize every opportunity to challenge it. There are two parallel movies operating in Return: a slapstick comedy and a frothy "caper" adventure story taken from an unedited first draft script. They're tied together by the theft of the world's largest diamond, the Pink Panther; Sir Charles Lytton (Christopher Plummer), who stole it in the original Pink Panther, again goes under the inevitable cloud of suspicion; apparently, everyone else involved with the "seriotat" portion of Return was befogged as well. Plummer's smooth, charming performance is the only thing that keeps it from descending to me slipshod smugness of It Takes A Thief, as well as a textbook example of wasted talent. The heavy hand I suppose the rationale for this "tragedy relief," aside from its necessity to relate Return to the earlier films in the series, is in Edwards' idea of providing balance to Sellers' slapstick. Even in the segments where Sellers holds sway, there's an irritating air of contrivance to some of the gags which is directly traceable to Edwards. (His belaboring of Sellers' mispronunciations, a scream when left alone, ruins several potential good laughs.) The balance that exists is between inspiration and mediocrity, a poor state of affairs. Film comedy is in robust shape at the moment, with the presence of Woody Allen (with his new Love and Death sounding very promising), Mel Brooks and Louis deFunes and Gerard Oury (star and director, respectively, of the joyous The Mad Adventures of "Rabbi" Jacob.) Although Blake Edvyards is awfully far from reincarnating Mack Sennett, Peter Sellers’, rejuvenation places him securely in their company. I could see his "minkey business" producing more than a few "rits of laughter." Prodigal Sun 'ta-talk for: "Pay no attention to that curtain.

Side one was recorded live in New Orleans, hot, spontaneous and "captured as it came down presented to you honestly, without the aid of studio gimmicks." It sounds like Grand Funk Railroad on Robitussin.

Lots of talking to the audience (you know, 'Boogie chillunl' and all), and enthusiastic applause, all set to the music of a drummer who sounds like an endless tape loop. Frank Beard was quoted in a recent press release as saying, "Tell the young drummers of the world that the shuffle, the cut I only know three beats shuffle, and the monkey beat." No shit. Bassist Dusty Hill, on the other hand, is real talented he does a good job of playing exactly the same relentless riffs as guitarist Gibbons. To quote the same press release, "Dusty uses his booming bass figures to forge the mpsical path, adding the all-important rhythm lines that create an overall sound that other trios are unable to muster."

Emerson did some very good work with his synthesizers (considering this was not one of their better albums), but he was still in his formative stage in relation to the group, resulting in rather mediocre output. , Tomita's album, however, is a must for almost anyone. All the cuts are superb, and you surely will find some favorites. "The Old Castle" is incredible, using soft melodies and harmonies to create an airy feeling. The music can surround the listener in a dreamy haze, build up to an excruciating peak, and then abruptly drop, catching him on his way down in a cloud of harmonies. This certainly is a unique feature for this type of music. The constant exchange of ideas that runs through the music never fails to grasp the attention of the listener's mind. The entire album interweaves softly, only to erupt into a pulsating beat, harnessing the full strength of the instrument involved. Yes, you can actually consider synthesizers as instruments on this album, for Tomita uses them as flexibly as any instrument and as beautifully developed. -Susan Wos The Spec FESTIVAL EAST PRESEISTS WED., JULY 16th—8 P.M. a shuffle tribute to a notorious gambling/pleasure place located on the farthest point of a pier off --"—I |SUPERRUNT T-Shirt!

TO MIAMI 6WW^SOIO- M, Minorities and academics During this semester, a number of articles appeared in our University newspaper, The Spectrum, concerning the plight of minorities in academics, with specific attention to Engineering. Mathematics, in part a support field to Engineering, Biology, Physics and Chemistry, is another area possessing this illness. I wish to partially enlighten the University community on this problem, and its solution, in part, as exemplified by the performance of the State University at Buffalo. In an elementary Physics course, we are asked to neglect friction, when considering the acceleration of a particle falling from rest. Similarly, during public schooling, the minority student must ignore intense social and psychological pressures, as well as poor schooling. Should this friction be surpassed, it has been traditionally difficult for that student to obtain a good and sympathetic college education. Graduate school in mathematics epitomizes these hardships; should predominantly blind earn a PhD, his consequence, it however, persevere with the and/or racist professors and ability is still suspect. Of one has been traditionally near-impossible to obtain a university research position in mathematics. David Blackwell, the one black member of the National Academy of Science, is the Jackie Robinson of Mathematics, and yet he remains an “oddity” to those mathematicians who are aware that he is black. For each 1000 PhD mathematicians in the country, less than five are black, American Indian, Puerto Rican or Mexican American. Needless to say, each of these has had to be incredibly lucky, as well as a comparative prodigy in intellectual achievement. All except 14 are employed in institutions where the teaching load (averaging 13 hours a week, nearly double the State University at Buffalo assignments) and committee work are extremely prohibitive of research opportunity. All of these 14 have found themselves besieged with requests to join or head committees in their research institutions, for the demand of minority input is deemed important, while the supply qf minorities is limited. To my knowledge, there are, consequently, only seven tenured minority mathematicians in our major United States universities, one Mexican American, one Native American and five blacks. For the years 1972 thru 1974, the State University at Buffalo Mathematics Department managed to have two minorities on its staff. However, Dr. Thomas Storer, a Navajo, left his Full Professorship post here for a lesser position at another university in June 1974 partially because of attacks on his person and ability by some of his colleagues. University President Robert Ketter recently denied tenuring of Scott Williams (of African and Algonquin heritage), who is presently the only minority member of the entire Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Why was Dr. Williams denied tenure? Perhaps it was due to a lack of university community service. However, Dr. Williams has served on as six committees at one time, while most assistant professors in Mathematics participate on two or three committees which rarely meet. To the Editor Perhaps it was due to a lack of teaching ability. This seems unlikely since Dr. Williams has been regarded by many students and some faculty as one of the best teachers in the Mathematics Department. He has often taught an extra course (and sometimes two) outside of his normal semester’s teaching assignment; moreover, he has been twice assigned a graduate course termed as “difficult” by his chairman even though his course was outside of Dr. Williams’ area of research interests. research and ability It must be After receiving and opening my bill for Summer School, I became incensed at the thought of having to pay another $10.90 for student activity and college fees for a meager seven-week session. After all, the fees for a Fall or Spring semester total “only” $40.00, and that’s for almost three times the amount of education. If we have to pay these fees, let’s open the Ketterpillar on rainy days and or provide more hours of use in Clark Gym. If not, let’s have a student referendum and get rid of these fees once and for all. accomplishment . . although leading specialists in his general area of work have called his progress, while employed at the University, “meteoric” in and have acceleration and rising stated that he is the second most promising young mathematician in his specific area. Nevertheless, his research is regarded as not warranting tenure by . local mathematicians. Even though it is generally recognized that the presence of a minority on faculty has a definite positive effect on minority undergraduate and graduate -students, Dr. Williams has been denied tenure for failing to produce enough in the areas of university service, teaching, and research, and because he works in the wrong field of mathematics. For Dr. Williams, luck has just run out at this University. However, job possibilities are bright, for Paul E. Bestehoun many Jaws he could pursue any of the following: 1) leave mathematics and become wrought-iron smith; of 2) find one the aforementioned research-prohibitive jobs; 3) change his area of research and produce brilliant mathematics, as desired by some other university; 4) do a repeat of his five years here at another institution. The State University at Buffalo Mathematics Department will probably gain considerable prestige with the long line of mathematicians replacing Dr. Williams. Hopefully, its students will benefit from this prestige. If any of these replacements are black, Mexican American, Puerto Rican, or Native American, then hopefully, the university community can benefit from their expectedly temporary services. For with Dr. Williams as a chairman of its departmental Affirmative Action Committee (until Jnwe 1976), the Department of Mathematics can be an Equal Opportunity Employer and will continue to seek “qualified” minority and women applicants. It has been difficult for me to write this letter, lor I am Scott Williams and objectivity in such matters is always suspect; however, I have been schooled by the continuing “usual experience” of being a black in America, and I have developed a slight detachment in order to survive these experiences. 4-- "jf* • ■ To the Editor. of summer The cost ks' CD»915- R3S-1-0»»C-, Scott Warner Williams Assistant Professor of Mathematics of New York at Buffalo State University Friday, 27 June 1975 The Spectrum Page thirteen . . , �s t mo »«»lv u p<?

But if you must smoke, use filters. That’s the conclusion of Irwin D.J. Bross, a Rosewell Park Memorial Institute researcher, who suggests that heavy smokers that can’t give up smoking entirely can cut the risk of heart disease by switching to filter cigarettes. “Heart diseases are major killers and the savings in lives from effective filtration could be substantial,” he said. Dr. Bross presented his findings at the World Conference on Smoking and Health, held last month in New York City. Dr. Bross based his findings on the tentative results of a survey of 99 autopsies; 58 on persons who only smoked non-filter cigarettes and 41 on persons who switched to filters. The autopsies, Dr. Bross asserted, showed considerably less heart disorders in the people who had switched to filters. Scientists have known since 1968 that filters cut the risk of lung cancer, but this is the first study linking filters to reduced heart disease. Noting the decline in the heart attack death rate, Dr. Bross pointed out that massive switching from non-filter to filter cigarettes by smokers over the past few decades may be responsible for the reduced mortality rate. While Dr. Bross admitted that not smoking at all HAIRCUTS phu & Ben Nanci & is the best way to decrease the risk of lung cancer and heart disease, he felt that the anti-smoking campaigns urging people to “stop cold” are simply ineffective. “Many anti-smoking efforts were based on the mistaken notion that you can change deeply ingrained human habits by preaching at people,” he observed. “Putting effective filters on cigarettes is a quiet kind of action that is in sharp contrast with noisy The educational anti-smoking propaganda. campaigns which might have had a purpose 20 years ago in making the public aware of the health hazards of tobacco have long since outlived their usefulness,” he added. Dr. Bross also felt these campaigns might .be counterproductive in making the public believe that something is being done about the health hazard. Despite extensive anti-smoking campaigns, Dr. Bross pointed out that the total number of deaths and illnesses from smoking is larger today than in the 1950’s, when the risks first began to be publicized.

Ertell, Acting Vice President for Academic Affairs, has resigned from that position due to poor health. Robert S. Fisk, Professor in the Faculty of Educational Studies, will replace Dr. Ertell until a permanent vice president is found. SA plans several new projects for the year A new student pharmacy, a discount public transportation program and major revisions in the housing contract and advisory services are just some of the things the Student Association (SA) has planned for the 1975-76 academic year. A student pharmacy will “most be definitely” opening up September 1st in Michael Hall, according to SA Vice President Arthur Lalande. The pharmacy will sell prescription drugs to students “possibly at a discount,” according to Mr. Lalonde if local private pharmacists are not jepordized. He reports that so far the Erie County Pharmaceutical Society (made up of local private pharmacists) has not complained. The idea of opening a student pharmacy is not new. It was first proposed eight years ago but no one at the time was willing to act on it and the “topic was broached” said Mr. Lalonde. Metro discount A student discount rate for public transportation on the Metro buses is being investigated, although it could involve paying the company a yearly grant of $13 thousand from student mandatory activity fees, Mr. Lalonde continued. If this program goes through, students will’ have an “economical” and “efficient” way of traveling in addition to a way of alleviating the parking problem, Mr. Lalonde explained. SA also plans to question the legality of the housing contract and, if necessary, court action will be taken, according to SA Director of Student Activities Steve Schwartz. One provision SA will try to eliminate is “the right of housing to enter a students room anytime.” Mr. Schwartz is also working Inter-Residence Council with (IRC) President David Brownstein to change the housing contract to a lease so that students can be protected under certain Tenant’s Rights Laws. Alumni advisors A new career advisement service is tentatively planned that would involve recruiting Alumni Association members who have experienced the “outside world” to advise graduating students about career opportunities. “We have academic advisement but no real Mr. career advisement, Lalonde observed. He was confident the Alumni Association would volunteer its services. SA also plans to survey the academic advisement present services to see how they could be improved, said SA President Michele Smiths Ms. Smith added that the goal of SA would be to avoid the recurrence of certain “crises” that faced the student body this year; administration’s namely, the refusal to approve fund requests and the problem raised over the funding of athletics. The publication of SCATE, “a place to crash” directory and a new travel agency are some of the other SA events scheduled for this fall. » AO INFORMATION AOS MAY be placed in The Spectrum office weekdays II a.m.-4 p.m. The deadline for Friday's paper Is Tuesday at 4 p.m. THE OFFICE Is located In 355 Norton Hall, SUNY/Buffalo, 3435 Main Street, Buffalo, New York 14214.

In fact, Student Association (SA) Speakers Bureau Chairman Rob Cohen has purposely avoided bringing any so-called, expensive “big names” to campus next fall.

No shows One problem Mr. Morrow often encountered was frequent of speakers, cancellations including unprecedented an double cancellation by Clifford m The Student Association (SA) is suing the SUNY system, in an attempt to prove that the Rules For Maintenance of Public Order violate the First Amendment Rights of students. University administration officials invoked these rules in suspending five students following the April 25 demonstration at Hayes Hall. “During the demonstration, Dr. Kettcr acted totally within the this is riot a personal attack,” explained SA scope of his authority Director of Student Activities Steve Schwartz. “We are, however, questioning the power itself.” The Student Association of the State University (SASU) voted this weekend to join the suit at its membership meeting in Oneonta, New York. The administration’s chief complaint was the students’ “refusal to leave any building or facility after being required to do so by an authorized administrative officer ...” “This rule, in my opinion, as well as the opinion of many lawyers, violates the First Amendment Rights of students,” Mr. Schwartz told the SASU delegates. In effect, he contended, the rule cancels out the first amendment right to peacefully assemble. “This says you have to leave just because an administration official tells you to no explanation necessary. And it’s enough to get you suspended if you don’t,” he explained. The resolution, approved by a unanimous vote of the SASU delegates, added SASU’s name to the list of plaintiffs in the suit, although it provided no financial support. “We did not request this, considering SASU’s financial crisis,” explained SA President Michele Smith. The resolution urged other schools to join the suit and to contribute financially, however. Schools which immediately agreed to do so were the State Universities at Binghamton, Stony Brook and Farmingdale Agricultural and Technical College. The delegates from Binghamton and Stony Brook pledged $500 each from their student governments, Farmingdale $250, toward defraying the expected legal expenses of about $2000. Mr. Schwartz explained that a show-cause hearing will take place in mid-August during which reasons for the suit will be presented to the court. “If we win that, the students will be reinstated until the trial comes up; and by that time, most of the suspensions will probably have expired,” he said. “However, the big point is the law itself.” — — —Santos Robert Cohen Irving. There is no way to avoid this problem, said Mr. Cohen, as speakers may back out six hours before they are scheduled to appear. In that event, Mr. Cohen will warn other schools that the individual, or his agent, is not trustworthy. Mr. Cohen has worked hard to put together an adequate program for the fall semester, but he plans are always subject to change. “There are still plenty of ideas left to be explored,” he said. admits that Racial violence stirs up activity and criticism by Rosalie Zuckerman Bill Gater, executive director of BUILD Unity, Independence, Liberty, (Build Dignity), organized in 1967 to deal with problems facing black communities in the inner city, accused the city of being “negligent.” Mr. Gator said he had urged Mayor Makowski to get the city involved in calming tensions in the Kensington area at a meeting during the Memorial Day SpecialFeatures Editor Recent outbreaks of racial violence in "Kensington area in past weeks stabbings at the Seneca including 13, and School June Vocational confrontations between white and black youths at several area schools, have stirred a flurry of activity and criticism about how best to deal with the current conflicts and head off possible violence in the summer months ahead. Mayor Stanley Makowski has called in the Buffalo Youth Board, Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) and the Human Relations Committee to alleviate tension in the area. A full time staff from the Buffalo Youth Board has been assigned to the the weekend. Both Mr. Acker and Mr. Gater feel the city is treating a potentially “explosive situation” too lightly and, Mr. Gater said, “things will have to get way out of hand” before the city finally decides to act. Mr. Price feels the “city is not doing a good job,” partly because of a lack of funding and the failure of the federal government in treating urban problems as a priority. “The federal government will give $25 million to the Amherst Sewer Project, but they will not give more money to the Buffalo Youth Projects,” he said. community to provide youth counseling services and recreational programs.

Curry, “Ongoing programs are being coordinated by community and governmental agencies to reduce tensions,” Mr. Curry said, adding that the goal of these agencies will be to dispel rumors on “both sides” so that Buffalo can be maintained as a “city of goo(J neighbors.” However, leaders of the NAACP, BUILD and Councilman Bill Price have expressed dissatisfaction over the way the city is dealing with the tensions in the Kensington area. “They are moving like snails,” said Dan Acker, a spokesperson for the NAACP. Not enough action is being taken by the city to identify of arrest “culprits” responsible for these activities, according to Mr. Acker. Neither the Mayor or the police has called in the FBI, the State Department or state agencies to investigate tension in the Kensington area, Mr. Acker pointed out. This same charge was made by the Buffalo Courier Express in an editorial June 15. Police criticized police, particularly Buffalo from Precinct 16, have been under heavy criticism from the NAACP and BUILD for their handling of recent incidents in the Kensington area. Mr. Acker and Mr. Cater described the police as being “emerged in racism” and non-reccptive to reported assaults in the area. Mr. Price also said he was dissatisfied with the police, but would not comment any further. Precinct 16 Captain Joseph DiVincenzo denied these charges, saying that although BUILD and the NAACP “are doing all they could to preserve the dignity of their race, they are ill advised.” Mr. DiVincenzo claims his precinct is doing all it can with —continued on page 2— �Racial violence... the resources it has and that his police officers would never discriminate on the basis of race. Guy Outlaw, principal of School 82, said police have done an “excellent job” in patrolling the school. The underlying cause of the tension in the Kensington area is still being disputed. The Buffalo Evening News, Courier Express, BUILD and NAACP have reported that long term racial problems in the Kensington area are the immediate cause. But city officials disagree. Mr. Price feels it is due to kids being “locked” into economically deprived sections of Buffalo, suffering from “massive” unemployment, with no outlet to “relieve the tensions.” Rev. Curry feels that it is more of an economic or social problem, and said poverty in the city affects people’s attitudes towards themselves and towards the government, often causing insecurity and unrest.

The bill, H.R. 50, “The Equal Opportunity and FulJ Employment Act,” commonly referred to as the Hawkins’ Bill, is being sponsored by Representatives Augustus Hawkins (D., Calif.) and Henry Reuss (D., Wise.), and is co-sponsored by 85 representatives, including Buffalo’s 37th Dist.). Henry Nowak (D., N.Y. The newly formed Buffalo group, the Hawkins Bill Support Committee (Full Employment Act) has produced a summary of the bill, including a section outlining their proposals for strengthening amendments. — 14.7 percent! • According to the U.S. Labor Department, Buffalo’s unemployment reached 14.7 percent in March, ranking fourth highest in the nation. The Hawkins Bill Support Committee estimates that real unemployment in Buffalo has now reached 20 percent, putting Buffalo in the number two spot. While officials once again predict an “upturn” in the economy, the Labor Department notes that 22 new cities and towns have been added to the “substantial unemployment” list (those reporting over 6 percent) from March to April. Official figures put the national unemployment between 8 and 9 percent, leaving idle over 7.5 million productive Americans. Additionally, the local committee points out that youth, minorities, and women have been hardest hit, since many people in these categories have the least seniority and are laid off first. Officially, 22 percent of all youth are unemployed, with almost 42 percent of black and minority youth out of work. However, these figures do not include first-time job seekers, or those workers who have been out of work so long that they have run out of unemployment benefits and are no longer counted in the statistics. Equal opportunity given The bill provides all adult Americans able and willing to work with the “right to equal opportunity for useful paid employment at fair rates of compensation,” and holds the federal government responsible for enforcement. Furthermore, any person deprived of the rights enumerated in the act will be entitled to bring court action Storwide sale See page 3 SOLE be reduced to a minimum. Job commission national Commission for Full Additionally, a Employment Policy Studies would be created to conduct longer range studies of the immediate and anticipated changes in programs and needs, in order to maintain genuine full employment without inflation. While one of the most progressive bills ever to be presented in the House, the local support committee has offered some proposals that they feel would strengthen it. In its present form, the bill does nothing to meet the immediate crisis. The Hawkins bill hopes its program will be functioning in five years, which does little for those millions of Americans who are in poverty and desperation today. The support committee feels that the immediate creation of millions of jobs is possible and should be included in the final form. The support group also feels that special efforts must be made to employ youth and minorities since they are hardest hit by the current recession, and that guarantees be made “against all forms of discrimination” on the grounds of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age or political belief, in the placing of people. Unions guaranteed All job programs should provide wages at the prevailing rates or trade union rates, which even is higher, the support group maintains, since lower rates would undermine the livable wages that many have fought ha'rd for over the years. Also, jobs should be “meaningful,” the support committee contends, rather than of a “temporary make-work nature,” so that badly needed products and services will be- produced, while those working will gain important job skills and knowledge.

Finally, the bill’s local supporters feel that youth, minorities, and women should be fully represented at every level of planning and administration, with citizens elected from each community. This would give people additional training and would instill the feeling that the American people were finally beginning to participate in the life of the country. Spokesperson for the Hawkins Bill Support Committee, Barbara Mucyn, said that the bill would pass only if the people show “tremendous support for it, and apply pressure on Congress.” She said “support and endorsement for the concept of the bill,” and for her groups’ suggested amendments has already come from the United Steelworkers of America, District No. 4, Operation PUSH, and the Coalition for Health and Welfare. Additionally, the support group is working closely with Rep. Nowak and his assistant in Washington, and also received the support of the recent State labor hearing held in Buffalo. That body invited the support committee “to come to Washington to lobby for the bill,” explains Ms. Mucyn. Attempts are being made to have a hearing in Buffalo, she adds, where the general public can raise questions and voice their opinions.

Other delegates still opposed it, however, and several more voted against it because, as one delegate said, “We resent shove trying someone to something down our throats.” Following the third and final defeat, Chris Sprowl of Old Westbury introduced a new proposal to be voted upon at the next SASU conference in early fall. It calls for a “floating ratio” the proposal included Paul Curtin and David Westgate of Geneseo and Stanley Adler of the School of Optometry.

The new cuts will the SUNY legislative appropriation achieved by general expenditure reductions of $7.5 million, and by increasing University-generated revenues by $18 in be million. The $7.5- million general reductions will be distributed throughout the SUNY system and the individual campuses will have to take steps to compensate. These steps include leaving some positions unfilled and cutting back on such administrative costs as telephones, travel and maintenance. Curtailment of planned expansion at the State University College at Old Westbury and Empire State College are envisioned. The opening of the School of Podiatry at Stony Brook, slated to get underway this fall, will also have to be deferred. The new cutbacks should only affect the spending areas which were left alone by the legislature’s earlier decision not to grant all of SUNY’s reguested budget increases for next year, said Todd Rubinstein, Communications Director for Student Association of the State University (SASU). The other $18 million will be raised from University-generated revenues. It is anticipated that $5 million will be available from greater income from 1974-75 tuitions. $11 million will be raised from recovery of excess funds from bond issues, and $2 million from a reduction in the amount needed for bond debt service. Increased hospital revenue and interest on rent reserve funds will also be a source of income. In response to these and other recent budget cutbacks, SUNY has agreed to undertake a two-year study of its priorities and programs. Instead of accepting across-the-board cutbacks, the new University Commission on Purposes and Priorities will operate “with an eye toward closing down programs more intelligently,” Mr. Rubinstein reported.

But seriously . Treading on the heels of a Speakers Bureau Chairman who was constantly embroiled in controversy, this year's Chairman, Rob Cohen, has set about to prepare a well-rounded, stimulating program with as much input from other students as he can garner. In addition to organizing a select committee whose business is specifically to discuss and suggest potential speakers, Mr. Cohen has attempted to make his smaller budget go a longer Way by purposely avoiding the expensive, .big name personalities. Instead, he has decided to contract lower priced speakers, many of whom have more intellectual and less entertainment appeal, and has saved the bigger, names for special occasions. He has also made arrangements with several special interest groups on campus to help them finance speakers who might not normally draw the greatest number of people and he is planning to invite political candidates who will appear free of charge. The Speakers Bureau is hot by nature a political organization. Its sole purpose is to provide the University with a wide variety of interesting or unusual speakers who might not otherwise be accessible to students outside this environment. In the past, the Speakers Bureau has been one of the most visible, and therefore successful, organizations on campus. But unfortunately,-it has often been too visible due to a number of public.and personal battles that often detracted from other important Student Association business and that could have been avoided by more discreet management. Mr. Cohen seems to understand these past errors and from his actions thusfar, he has made a conscious effort to correct them. This year, let's leave the politics to the speakers, not to the people who run the organization. ..

I had spent the entire week before the Rolling Stones concert conjuring up new words with which to knock them down in print, and found them all unnecessary. This, my third concert as The Spectrum music editor, was to be my big chance to live out the to say, in no dream of many American rock critics uncertain terms, what I really thought about "the world's greatest rock and roll band." I was enraged over the high ticket prices and last — week's exploitative release of two "new" Stones albums another greatest hits LP and a collection of "previously "rejects"). Having been unreleased songs" (read disillusioned since hearing Exile on Main Street and their Toronto appearance in the 1972 tour, I was convinced that too messed up on expensive they were over the hill drugs to play good music anymore. When I heard that cameras would not be allowed "dagger must be getting inside, my apprehensions grew old," I told the photographer while returning her camera to the car, "probably getting wrinkles in his face." So it was, with this decidedly negative attitude that I joined 17,000 other people at Memorial Auditorium Sunday night, honestly hoping for the worst. I was disappointed. — — — Wasted jazz The opening act was the veteran Crusaders, augmented by Max Bennet on bass and (I think) Larry Carlton on guitar, who played a fine set. I got the feeling that their music, almost archetypal light jazz, was being wasted on this audience, "We want the STOANZ!" came the cry between numbers, and the collective murmuring during them was almost as loud as the music. At least they knew what they were up against, as they went off after about 30 minutes, to hardly overwhelming applause. Another 30 minutes passed as the Aud grew hotter and hotter, with slight diversion provided by the sound of rain teeming down on the roof, and the road testing out their employers' equipment (loudly). Titan, to a half-standing ovation, the Stones rolled on with "Honky Tonk Women." New faces It soon became apparent that some changes had been made. As advertised. Faces guitarist Ron Wood had replaced Mick Taylor, Billy Preston was handling keyboards, and a black percussionist (name unannounced) was perched behind Charlie Watts. To my great relief, the previously overdone horn section (one of the bad points of the last tour) was gone entirely, and Keith Richards' harmony vocals, nearly nonexistent before, were back. "All Down the Line," the second song, saw them joined by someone (Ian Stewart?) on piano and the band something else that was sounded quite well rehearsed missing from the 1972 tour. Two newer numbers, "If you Can't Rock Me" and "Star Star" followed the former segueing into a rearranged "Get Off My Cloud," the latter containing a possible explanation for the ban on photos. During the last chorus, ("You a stahfukkahstahfukkahstahfukkastahfukkastah") a trap door opened behind Jagger to release (what else) an 18 foot inflatable phallus. How subtle. To the crowd's delight, Mick straddled the thing, used it as a punching bag, and shoved it, deflating, back under the stage. From then on, the song lineup began to sound like a greatest hits list, each song better than the last. - Great hits "Gimme Shelter," "Ain't Too Proud to Beg," "Happy," 'Tumbling Dice," "Wild Horses," and "Angie" all came off very well, although the last two, lacking C~ F i D I <r? dJ acoustic guitars, left a little to be desired. Billy Preston infectious background vocals on supplied the "Heartbreaker," and an electric version of "You Got to Move" featured Preston, Wood, Richards, and Jagger harmonizing, huddled around two adjacent mikes. The music was in fine form, although painfully loud I heard that some people had to leave because of the volume. Ron Wood, looking like Keith Richards' double, complemented the latter's sound excellently, which is not surprising in view of the fact that Wood and Rod Stewart have been practicing Stones imitations for years. He is a far better guitarist than I had realized, and as far as I'm concerned, is better than Tyalor was, particularly his slide playing. Richards seems to realize this, and was content to play rhythm guitar (his specialty) behind Ron for most of the evening. — New twist The combination of Watts on drums and the other percussionist (on congas, timbales, cowbells, etc.), lent a new aspect to the sound, a pleasant change from the rather restricted (though efficient) drumming Stones fans have grown accustomed to. Bill Wyman, of course, just stood there. Jagger did exactly what was expected of him, with as much energy and agility as ever. His dancing, posturing, and sexual come-ons to the audience (and band) are hard to describe to anyone who has not at least seen him on film. Depending on your point of view, Jagger is either the CT i •• * 4 T * most exciting or the most ridiculous performer in the world. The only thing new about his performance is an apparent desire to come across as a musician, rather than just a singer. Usually sticking to a few random harmonica notes in the past, Jagger is now playing a little piano (the middle of "You Can't Always Get What You Want") and electric guitar (rhythm on "Fingerprint Files"). According to the current consensus, Mick Jagger is the Rolling Stones. His leather jacketed, belt-weilding performance on an otherwise dull version of "Midnight Rambler" almost won me over to this opinion. Dancing with mister The last part of the show began with two Billy Preston the new 'That's Life" and "Outta Space," the instrumental hit of a few years back. In the middle of the second, Billy treated the crowd to some fancy footwork, and was joined by Jagger, who bumped and humped to everyone's (except probably Preston's) enjoyment. B.P.'s keyboard and backup vocal work throughout the rest of the show as quite competent and (for Someone so excessivy on his own), fairly laid back. Other Stones' tunes included "Browh Sugar," "Luxury," "It's Only Rock and Roll," "Street Fighting Man" and "Jumpin' Jack Flash." The last three were performed as a medley (to discourage encore calls) and, despite an ovation that lasted for almost five minutes, the band did not return. All in all, however, it was a totally enjoyable, professional and exciting concert, in spite of my predispositions, and the group appeared to be trying their best to please. As far as apparent effort and interest in the audience goes, this show bore as little relation to their 1972 Toronto appearance as it did to the one in Memorial Auditorium nine years ago.

But negotiations fell through, so the following review of Where's Poppa? features ALL NEW material. Read on. "Where's Poppa" is a black comedy (in the "Dr. Strangelove" sense) about the travails of a struggling young lawyer (George Segal) who promised his dying father never to put his "vegetable" mother (Ruth Gordon) into a "home" and to care for her always. The movie starts with a typical morning in the life of Gordon Hochsteiter (Segal). He gets his mother up, puts her in front of the television set she will watch all day, pours Pepsi over his Lucky Charms, dresses her, tells her that she can't see Poppa because he's dead, and goes to his office late. At the office, he interviews candidates for a nurse for his mother. No one seems interested in the job the name Hochsteiter seems very familiar in live-in nurse circles until Louise (Trish Van Devere) breezes in, looking every bit a Florence Nightingale rerun. disclaiming any joy in killing "gooks," tells stories of his morbid conquests with gusto. To everyone's dismay, he tells of a Vietnamese brain he had shipped home to his son, now kept in a jar on a shelf. Not to be outdone, the defendant admits he cut off the colonel's big toe after getting into an argument on the beach. “So you wouldn't kill any more gooks, you goddamm fascist," screams the defendant, and leaps over the defense table to finish off the colonel. The court officers hustle the defendant away. Gordon does fantasize, though, about the life he could lead. In one dream sequence, he argues powerfully before a jury, asking them how they would like to come home to a potato, to eat dinner with a parsnip, and demands that his mother be sentenced to spend the rest of her life locked in a toilet. Accompanied by a chaplain and a matorn, he sees the sentence carried out. — — Night blooming roses Gordon's older brother Sidney (Ron Liebman) is hardly more fortunate. Married, and a father, he is called upon whenever Gordon is on the verge of throwing her out the window. So Sidney has gotten used to sprints acorss Central Park to Gordon's apartment. There's a bit of a problem, though Sidney gets mugged by the same gang every time he Comments at length 1 She is hired, without references (a good thing, she admits, because most of her pervious patients died in short order), and she says that it is the first does. nice thing that's happened to her since her marriage.

Louise assures him, Sidney calls his brother from the stationhouse to bail though, that she divorced her husband after only 32 him out. It turns out to be unnecessary, though, the hours, because he had a disconcerting habit of cop, pointing out that it was his first rape, sends defecating during lovemaking.

As matinees are only $1.25, the price is hard to beat. The Mercenary' is good despite flaws — d by Bill Maraschielto Arts Editor Gillo Pontecorvo's 1966 film The Battle of Algiers was greeted by critics with such accolades as "the best film ever made about war." Ir spite of this, his next film Bum! (1968), starring Marlon Brando came and went in the twinkling of an eye, escaping the notice o’ practically everyone. — - Now that Brando is once more marketable. Bum! has been re-released under the more colorful (and far less accurate) title of Tht Mercenary. It’s a shame that, were it not for the capricious winds o commercial favor, The Mercenary would never have re-emerged; bu' that it has is very fortunate. For Pontecorvo displays a lot of raw rough talent, and an occasional spark of genius, in a flawed bu fascinating film. 1 One languid, one noble The African colony of Quemara Portuguese for "Burn" was sr named because the Portuguese, in conquering it, burned it to thi ground. It’s the mid-nineteenth century; England and Portugal are ai war, and England has sent Sir William Walker (Brando) to Quemara tc foment a rebellion there among the natives. Brando's languid characterization is so much like his Fletche Christian in Mutiny on the Bounty that I wonder if he thinks that al Englishmen are inherently foppish. But he's basically believable as professional soldier, a man whose business is war. In one scene, hp calmly explains to a native village how to load and fire a rifle; next wo see heaps of dead Portuguese soldiers a chilling comment b' Pontecorvo on the profession of efficient killing. It's never made clear who plays Jose Delores, the native who becomes the leader of the revolution unfortunately, since he's superh in the role. Jose is a vain braggart whose frustration often manifest itself in bursts of fiery temper. But Pontecorvo clearly believes tha altruism, even for the most stalwart cause, is impossible to attain, anc that sincere dedication to fight for the rights of human beings, howeve; adulterated by human frailty, is the closest man can come to trui — — £ — Everything You’ve Ever Heard About CHEERLEADERS Conies True - nobility. Bridge of cane Although Brando and Jose respect, perhaps even admire, eacl other, they both realize that their cultures are incampatible (subth, expressed when Jose samples Brando's whiskey, Brando Jose's rum and each admits that he prefers his own drink). Jose sees ar unbreachable distance between "those who cut the cane and those whc sell it." When Brando leaves Quemara for the first time, he tells Jose tha he's going to a place called Indochina; Jose responds with a toast ti ''those who cut the cane." The Mercenary parallels the Vietnan situation very closely at times (the sugar company calls in British troops to help put down the revolt). But, though marred slightly by th naivete of zeal, Pontecorvo avoids the shoddy pamphleteering of fa too many political documents, cinematic and otherwise. He startlingly perceptive of the myriad forces economic, social, racial that converge in this kind of a situation. It is Pofitecorvo's human sensitivity that gives his character dimension and keeps his politics from exploding. He handles crow scenes, of which there are many in this film, magnificently, his crowd are not faceless herds, but large numbers of people with identities, oi both sides of the struggle. He gives an apple-cheeked British soldier, beautiful girl in a courtyard, and a refugee storming a wagon of bread reality approaching that of the student, the legless man, and the ok woman on the Odessa Steps in Eisenstein's Potemkin. Against these virtues and a fine sense of composition is yt another must be figured Pontecorvo's difficulty in blending thi styles of his leading actors and his occasional moments of sagging pacr At times, his modulation does concede to his politics, resulting i imbalance. The Mercenary isn't a great film, just a very good one. But in thi seven years since he finished it, Gillo Pontecorvo hasn't made anothe film, and that's disturbing. He needs to develop his talent more, and don't think we can afford to lose a cinema craftsman of the magnitud that Pontecorvo has the potential to become. . — — — T L Produced by PAUL GUCKLER and RICHARD LERNER-Directed by PAUL GUCKLER “ GRANADA 317b Mam SI.

Even so, inertia is a basic make a hit single. As far as I can tell, the only songs law of nature, and I'm sure this album will turn that stand a chance for the AM playlists are "Bitter platinum, simply because it is Elton John, the clown prince of seventies pop music. Perhaps John and Taupin realize how good they once were, for a large portion of this album is reminiscence, dwelling on the hardships of becoming a superstar in only five years. Hell, there's even a scrapbook and profusely illustrated lyrics, showing all sorts of cute shots of young Elton and Bernie, their old friends and bands, and the places they played, lived, and hung out. Just what you always Elton John, Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy, MCA The Rolling Stones, Metamorphosis, (Abkco) Every once in a while an album comes out with both a misleading title and a misleading ad campaign, and a record company pulls in a quick and tidy little fortune. Metamorphosis does not provide any sort of historical view of the Stones, except perhaps to tell you why nobody ever heard of them before '64. While it might be a delight to find this album in a $1.99 bargain bin, paying double that, on sale, to buy it new does not seem enchanting in the least. This is not to say that it is an atrocious album. It isn't, although that may be an initial reaction for some. It's just that the album devotes one side to stuff done, with one exception, before they were known widely, and the other side includes recent material they couldn't work into other albums, which just doesn't reflect the Stones many of us love. The album starts out with a personal Stones favorite, "Out of Time," an early blues-rock number Arith some nice guitar work (presumably by Brian Jones, former guitarist for the group, although a number of other guitarists including John McLaughlin and Jimmy Page appear in the credits) and an unusually lush (for the Stones) string opening. "Don't Lie To Me" is notable for very nice piano parts, and terrible vocals by Jagger, backed up by equally poor harmonies. "Each and Every Day of the Year" is the early Stones trying to sound like the Bee Gees, to the point of trumpets behind Jagger sometimes, and a full orchestra behind him the rest of the time. Phil Spector would've been proud; in fact Phil Specter's listed in the credits, but they don't tell his role. This album's version of "Heart of Stone," the one "hit" on the album, is anemic, to add insult to injury. The group hadn't yet learned to harmonize, but an imitation of the Beatles appears just the same. They overzealously used a slide guitar, probably better left for their later "Country Honk." "I'd Much Rather Be With The Boys" has a certain appeal of innocence in its 50's-ish lyrics and its Dave Clark Five-inspired arrangement. It also shows the downfall of the early Stones perfectly. On the syntactically horrendous line, "I'd much rather be with the boys and the boys they would much rather be with the boys than with girls like you," Jagger loses the melody on the final "girls," Bill Wyman plays the wrong bass line, .and Charlie Watts gets totally wiped out on drums. As if to rub it in, the group follows that line with a falsetto "yes they do-oo-oo-oo" which, unfortunately, was meant to be in harmony. At best, the harmony could've reached a Gary Lewis level of quality, but the Stones can't even sing that high. "Sleeping City" could be considered nice Muzak, with pleasant orchestration backing up an uncharacteristically soft song. The rhythm is nice, too, down to the glockenspiel behind Jagger (a la "Snoopy's Christmas"). Side 1 closes with "Try A Little Harder," which has the group trying to do a good Van Morrison imitation, with predictable results. They do try awfully hard, though, to the extent of a "doop-do-do-do-doop-doop-d-do-do, dodoo" chorus, but Jagger just can't sing like Van. Side 2, consisting of newer material, opens with "I Don't Know Why," a blues number with piano and slide guitar reminiscent of the Stones Let It Bleed album. Mick Taylor wrote himself a nice guitar part on the song. "If You Let Me" has a nice jazzy sound benefitting the toned-down bluegrass it is. It's a song you would expect to hear at a coffeehouse. "Jiving Sister Fanny" is a nice shake-it song that is suspiciously similar to Cat Mother's "Can You Dance To It?". I have no idea which came first. "Downtown Suzie" is an uptempo blues number with nice slide guitar, reminiscent of "You Gotta Move" on Sticky Fingers. "Family" is an exceptionally good song, something like a synthesis of the Kinks and the Stone's "Jigsaw Puzzle" from Beggar's Banquet, about how a family reacts to their daughter taking up prostitution. "Memo From Turner" was the main song of dagger's movie Performance. From a heavy-metal opening that brings back memories of Blue Cheer, dagger taunts a set of businessmen with blues vocals to a heavy metal arrangement. "I'm Going Down" has some nice sax work but for the most part resembles the guitars of Sticky Fingers of a somewhat tighter version of "Happy All in all, this is the kind of album that people know has some use; they just can't think of one. It's probably good for parties thrown at ungodly hours or ones that bog down early, and it's sort of nice to have around if you want some over-orchestrated, non-raunchy Stones for variety. And it would probably be an excellent birthday or Christmas/Chanuka gift, since the recipient would be very unlikely to already have it. Somehow, though, I wouldn't go to the extreme step of buying it for myself unless it was in the bargain bins in the Record Co-op. -Mike McGuire wanted, right? To top it all off, they've included an order blank for the "Official Elton John shirt. Poster, and In-concert book," backed by an entry form to join the "Official Elton John Fan Club." Alan Aldridge, the artist who did the Beatles Illustrated Lyrics, was engaged for the cover art and illustrations to accompany the enclosed words. Elton John, Talk about delusions of grandeur who is probably the most successful act since the Beatles, apparently doesn't realize that the masses are not nearly as discriminating as they used to be. In the words of the infamous Christopher Milk, someone "Some people will drink anything" ought to remind Mr. John and Mr. Raupin that flash and talent are not necessarily the same thing. I won't dwell too long on the contents of the album's ten songs, for if you're interested, you've probably already bought it anyway. Let is suffice to say that most of Captain Fantastic et. al. is a rehash an all too familiar combination of previous musical ideas and lame lyrics. Falwlessly recorded and produced, the album is presented in a highly polished package that is probably worth more than — — — Fingers" and "Meal Ticket," both of which are about how hard it used to be for E.J. and B.T. to make a living. Naturally, there are a few ballads, none of which come anywhere near the quality of the old stuff (one of the pictures in the lyric book is of the original draft of "Your Song," framed), and the vocal and piano lines have all been heard before. Probably the nicest thing I can say about Captain Fantastic is that it doesn't include "Lucy in the Sky," "Philadelphia Freedom," or "Pinball Wizard." However, you can be sure that there will be another "greatest hits" package coming out soon enough with these and more. John Duncan U.B.

Ms. Horn cited her bad experience with the FBI as an example of the “perversions” of the Nixon administration, which was in office at the time. She was harassed by the agency, she said, after a spy was placed in library where She worked, who allegedly informed the government the of a “conspiracy” involving the famous Berrigan brothers, Daniel and Philip. The activist priests were acquaintances of Ms. Horn although NITE A farce Before the grand jury trial, however, the FBI briefed Mr. Douglas days, and when the trial-began, his testimony “sounded strangely as if he were saying what the FBI wanted, to hear.” The government’s conspiracy charge was . supported completely by Mr. Douglas’ testimony, and was refuted by everyone else’s. But Ms. Horn refused to testify,-reading to the court instead a statement in which she labeled the trial and the charges “a farce.” She was sent to jail for a week for contempt of court, she said.

Boyd Douglas was a close friend of Ms. Horn, and worked in the library with her. It was her association with him that led to the FBI subpoenas, she noted. He was a prisoner in the same cell block as Daniel Berrigan, and befriended the lonely priest, appearing to be sympathetic to his anti-war sentiments. Mr. Douglas entered a prison work-study program, and was placed in the library at Bucknell University, where he met Ms. Horn. He became closely involved with librarians and students who were in the anti-war movement, and helped Ms. Horn arrange parties to which he invited many of his anti-war sympathizer friends. She stressed that these meetings were purely of a social nature, and nothing like the alleged “Conspiracy” was ever discussed. ; I by Andrew Wamkk Spectrum Staff Writer ■ — — _ • , ■ • V! to < any dinner — rtfcntrnhiif your, second •; Make it fadjacent to Canadian Customs at the Peace Bridge) Friday, 20 June 1975 The Spectrum .

In a 300-page report made public last week, an investigative commission headed by Vice President Nelson Rockefeller found that the CIA administered drugs to unsuspecting human guinea pigs, monitored telephone calls, infiltrated a congressional campaign, opened thousands of pieces of mail, and spied on domestic dissident groups at various times during the past 300,000 persons arrested for offenses related to homosexuality, the Rockefeller Commission found. Despite a rule against providing manpower to local police forces at home or abroad, the CIA lent men and radio-equipped vehicles to the D.C.

The commission also accused the agency of 32 wiretaps and 12 breakins directed against persons having some affiliation with the agency.

The Opening mail the 1955, commission said, the CIA handled up to 4.3 million pieces of mail a year and opened about 13,000 each year.

The employee was sent to New York for treatment, and psychiatric with committed suicide while there. The report was made by the commission after a five-month Washington, D.C. area, ranging study.

A number of public officials had alleged that Lee Harvey Oswald had some connection with the and agency that Watergate burglars Frank Sturgis and E.

The commission found no evidence for either of these assertions, but admitted that it could not launch a thorough investigation into the ASU. —continued from page 3— .. the legislation on the Senate’s agenda, thus effectively killing the bill.

On the subject of foreign assassinations, recent allegations have linked the CIA to murder plots against Cuban Premier Fidel and the late French Charles DeGaulle, as well as to successful assassinations of former Chilean president Salvador Allende, Rafeal Trujillo of the Dominican Republic, former Vietnamese South Castro president, President Diem, and several other foreign heads of state. While the Rockefeller report Commission on these events will be kept secret. Senator (D-ldaho), Frank Church chairman of the Senate committee investigating the CIA, said that his committee will make public its report, which tells of at least one successful assassination attempt and a number of failures. A third committee investigating the agency, the House Select Committee on Intelligence, has been involved in vicious internal fighting that may cause its reconstitution or dissolution. Committee Chairman Lucien Nedzi ■ (D-Michigan) attempted to resigh after he had come under fire for refusing to act on information of assassination plots, but the full House refused to accept his resignation. Nedzi claimed earlier this week that the committee was uable to function the way it is currently constituted.

The issue surfaced last week as Dean of the Colleges Irving Spitzberg was called before the Academic Cabinet to explain the housing policy. “The sense of the body (IRC) seems to be that this creates an unfair bias against non-college students,” IRC President David Brownstein charged in a series of letters to Director of Housing Madison Boyce, President Robert Kctter, and the members of the Academic Cabinet. In response to Mr. Brownstein’s complaint, Dr. Ketter expressed a willingness to investigate the matter, saying, “a number of students approached me during Community University Day to complain about what they perceived as an unfair bias against the non-college student.” Priority or bias? IRC members feel that “a minority of the dorm population has been given priority, as well as control over the room selection in a majority of the living and facility space,” Mr. Brownstein reported in a letter to Mr. Boyce dated April 26th. But, “Mr. Brownstein confuses priority with unfair bias,” Dr. Spitzberg explained in a memorandum to the Academic Cabinet prior to its meeting June 2nd. Explaining the justification for the College priority system. Dr. Spitzberg emphasized the ... concept. 1 simply feel that College membership should increase due to the programming involved, as opposed to this year’s membership drive, which was largely composed of room choice promises,” Mr. Brownstein concluded. Dr. Spitzberg and Mr. Brownstein presented their arguments to the Academic Cabinet June 2nd at a meeting chaired by Executive Vice President Albert Somit. Mr. Brownstein introduced to the Cabinet recently released results of a University Housing survey taken last year in which the students questioned ranked “Residential Colleges” as their ninth preference, followed only by “Triples, Quadruples and Six-Man Rooms.” Among the group of students already living in residential Colleges, the preference for College living ranked only fifth. “And this is primarily due to the members of Clifford Furness College, an especially strong College,” Mr. Brownstein added. Shot-gun wedding Dr. Spitzberg seemed pleased with the results of the sub-group survey, and said the statistics showed that once students join the Colleges, they are satisfied and wish to remain, even if it means sacrificing anotlfer type of room. “Well, Irv, jt seems like you’re pushing a shot-gun wedding. Marry, and you’ll learn to love it,” quipped Dr. Somit in response to Dr. Spitzberg’s interpretation. Dr. Spitzberg and other Collegiate officials maintain that the priority situation is essential to the successful operation of the colleges. “I was disturbed to hear that the Administration is even questioning the issue. -It has always been understood that the success of residential programs would be fostered by the assignment of contiguous buildings for housing,” said Joseph Nechasck, Master of College H. Because the number of most desirable rooms is limited, both sides agree that some students will have to accept less desirable accommodations. “Students who choose the Colleges should not have to bear that burden,” Dr. Spitzberg asserted. “If they do, you are subverting the creation of strong living/learning communities.” Big banner Members of the Academic Cabinet were reportedly disturbed by a fifteen-foot banner which Mr. Brownstein removed from Porter Quad and presented at the meeting. In large red letters, the sign said: “If you have any desire to live in Porter Quad next year, you must join Colleges B or H . . Joining the Colleges does not mean signing your life away.” “There are less debatable ways for a College to recruit,” Dr. Somit observed. —Santos Ketter suspends five arrested during sit-in Five of the ten students arrested during the April 25 sit-in at Hayes Hall have been suspended for periods ranging from six months to one year. University President Robert Ketter announced last week. Dr. Ketter reached his decision following hi* review of the transcripts and uk. Manr*ts.ancc of recommendations of the University Committee Public Order. Dr. Ketter acted, despite more lenient committee recommendations for 6-month suspensions for three of the students, and probation for the other two -Dr. Ketter, on vacation, in his Buffalo home, refused to come to the telephone to comment on his decision. Charles Reitz, suspended until the fall 1976, would have completed work on his PhD next year. The other four students were Gary Gleba, Paul Ginsberg, Eliot Sharp and Ishmael Gonzalez. Student"Association (SA) Director of Student Affairs Steve Schwartz said he was upset that SA was not notified of the suspensions, nor were they given any explanation from Dr. Ketter for the action. None of our business “He practically told Michele and I it was none of our business,” he said SA President Michele Smith said Dr. Ketter would give her no indication at all how he came to his decision, telling her he didn’t see why she should know. Both Ms. Smith and Mr. Swartz felt the suspended students have “a strong case” for appealing their penalties. Albert Somit, acting University President during Dr. Ketter’s absence, said he was not “privy” to the reasons for the suspensions. He said two situations generally warrant suspension of a student: if the continued presence of the student poses a threat to others, or if the student has committed a wrongdoing grave enough to deserve academic penalty. When asked if either of these situations were, in Dr. Ketter’s opinion, present in the case of any of the suspended students, he again said he didn’t know. Norman Effman, attorney for Mr. Ginsberg, is planning an appeal to Dr. Ketter based on photographs taken in Hayes lobby at the time the arrests were being made. . necessity of coherent residedtial space to facilitate living/learning communities. This is an “academic justification which is directly relevent to the educational mission of the residential colleges,” he said. Mr. Brownstein agreed that the Colleges should be given as much space as they need, depending on the demand for College Residence. “However, my point is that the demand for residence in the Collegiate units was severely amplified by the granting of residence on apriority basis.” “The colleges are a wonderful system in Although the Academic Cabinet reached no it did “recpgnize the problem,” according to Dr. Somit. A meeting of Dr. Spitzberg, Mr. Brownstein, and one of the University vice presidents is being arranged. conclusions, “There are no concessions to be made,” Dr. Spitzberg said, remaining firm in his position. “Colleges should be given as much space as their members demand. Colleges are better for students, and better for the University,” he stressed. New evidence Mr. Effman said he told presidential assistant Thomas Craine that he has nevi' evidence and that Dr. Craine told him to put it in writing. In the meantime, Mr. Ginsberg received notice of his suspension. Civil charges against three students arrested near the Campus Security offices on Winspear Avenue were dismissed by City Court Judge Sam Green this week. Charges against the remaining seven students are still pending. Trials are slatted to begin in Part 3 before Judge Green Monday morning The students were arrested April 25 when protestors and Campus Security officers clashed inside and outside Hayes Hall. The demonstrators had occupied part of Hayes lobby to protest the administration’s rejection of funds approved by the Student Assembly to provide buses to Albany the following Monday for rallies and workshops supporting the Attica defendants. �SUNY press service in the planning stages Experts say it is unlikely Oswald acted by himself Editor’s Note: This is the second above the chin line.

Many start with Oswald’s confirming that Oswald had simple assertion during the time recently fired a gun.

One of the oddest concerns the short life span of 18 material witnesses to the assassination all died within three and a half years of the killing. Six died by gunfire, three in motor accidents, two by suicide, one from a cut throat, one from a karate chop to the neck, three from heart attacks and two from natural causes. According to researcher Sylvia Meagher, “An actuary, engaged by the London Sunday Times, concluded that on November 22, 1963, the odds against these witnesses being dead by February, 1967, were one hundred thousand trillion to one.” One of the well known surprises of the Zapruder film of the assassination is the “umbrella - man.” November 22 was a sunny, windy day. Yet before the first shot rang out, a man standing near a roadsign close to where an Kennedy passed raised umbrella and began to turn it counterclockwise. After the final shot, while spectators ran or fell to the ground, the umbrella man calmly folded up his unbrella and walked away. -This man has never been identified. Conspiracy theorists suggest he was a signal man for the assassins. Another story deals with Clay Shaw and David Ferric, two men accused by New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison of participating in a CIA-related to cortspiracy Kennedy assassinate W. *' ' Assassination theories I • The formation of a SUNY-wide press service to provide State University campus newspapers with informatiori affecting their students has been tentatively worked out by the Student Association of the State University (SASU). The proposal for the State University News Network (SUNN) was approved by the SASU membership in April, and according to Andy Hugos, SASU Communications Director, a conference of representatives of SUNY campus newspapers and radio stations will be held in mid-September to discuss details of the service. The SUNN proposal described the relationship between SASU and desire, “to the SUNY student media as “complementary.” It is SASU’s them,” in affect which the issues guarantee that students are aware of is the manner, and it media s a unified “in to them order to respond make information about to ability these issues readily available, the proposal stated. “On the other hand, the student media wishes to provide the student it serves with information about relevant issues, but only SASU has the means to do so,” it continued A SUNY-consciousness SUNN would distribute a weekly eight-page press packet, “both original, in-depth research done for SASU containing and articles written in campus media.” The emphasis will be on SASU activities and important events at individual campuses. emphasis on “The SUNY-wide news will help develop - a SUNY-consciousness among students... once they g (jgt realize they share common problems',” Mr. Hugos explained. IN addition, SUNN would publish more detailed, non-deadline stories. “SASU research reports will be geared to alert local editors to state-wide problems and SASU’s response to them,” Mr. Hugos continued. “Any SUNY problem SASU researches is sure to, continue long enough for any campus paper to use the material regardless of it i production schedules.” t> I. For dispensing late-breaking news, SUNN will collect and keep track of deadlines for SUNY papers and synchronize the press releases’ production and delivery schedule, “to make most effective use” of them. „ . Garrison’s case, amidst a flood of international attention, fell apart as Ferrie died under mysterious circumstances and Garrison couldn’t prove Shaw worked for the tlA. Both Shaw and Ferrie have since been confirmed CIA operatives by CIA former staffer Victor Marchetti. A fourth story deals with three “bums” arrested near the Book after the Depository shortly killing. Some critics charge that two of these men bear a remarkable resemblance to “Waterbuggers” E. Howard Hunt and Frank Sturgis. According to the theory, Hunt and Sturgis, like Shaw and Ferric, were involved in a CIA-related plot to assassinate Kennedy. After the shooting they were picked up by Dallas police, but later released with no records of the arrest filed. Hunt, however, has vehemently denied being in Dallas that day and has filed a $750,000 lible suit against the National Tattler after the newspaper alleged Hunt appeared to have been on the scene following the assassination. Nonetheless the FBI has confirmed that a photo analyst was sent to Dallas in early May to study the bum photos for leads on a possible new investigation.

Professors Chous and Reipe met with Dr. Ertell on Dr. Lawler’s behalf, presenting evidence of Dr. Lawler’s “excellent work,” publications and community service. In addition to these appeals, Dr. Lawler received support from the Philosophy Department, and members of other departments, including English Professor George Hochfield The Philosophy Department unanimously endorsed reappointment, and a petition was signed by Lawler’s Dr. all but three faculty members. Ertell reinstates Lawler for a year following sev by Rosalie Zuckerman Special Features Editor The decision not to reappoint Philosophy professor James Lawler after May 1976 was reversed last month by Merton Ertell, acting vice president for Academic Affairs. Dr. Ertell, who originally ordered Dr. Lawler’s dismissal, changed, the ruling following appeals by Dr: Lawler, members of the Philosophy Department and other faculty members. Dr. Ertell refused to renew Dr. Lawler’s contract for the 1976-77 academic year in early May, despite official endorsement of the Philosophy Department and the Faculty of Social Sciences. At the time, Dr. Lawler charged that his controversial political interests, which included support of the Day Care Center, union activities and participation in the Social Sciences College, influenced Dr. Ertell’s decision. Although Dr. Ertell denied this, he refused to state his reasons for the action. James aw er —Santos 1 Letter to Ketter Two weeks ago, Dr. Ertell informed Social Sciences Provost Arthur Butler that Dr. Lawler was to be reappointed. Dr. Ertell again refused to state specific reasons for his decision, saying only; “I heard Dr. Lawler’s appeal and concluded that he should be reappointed for one more year.” Dr. Lawler explained that after the decision to tenninate his contract was made, he wrote a personal letter of appeal to University President Robert Ketter. Dr. Ketter responded that since this was not a case involving tenure, he was not obligated to get involved and that appeals would have to be made to Dr. Ertell, Dr. Lawler said. Dr. Lawler and his advocates Philosophy Professors Kah-Kyung Cho and Dale Riepe then met individually with Dr. Ertell to appeal this decision. D'f. Lawler said that during the meeting, Dr. Ertell explained the reasons behind his dismissal. “Dr. Ertell said he did not believe my record made me qualified for tenure Still disturbed Although satisfied with the reappointment, both Dr. Lawler and Dr. Reipe are still disturbed over the rationale behind the original decision not to reappoint him. Dr. Lawler is still convinced that his political activities entered into this decision. He also believes the underlying reason for the decision was part of a historical tradition of “discrimination against Marxists works” which have always been considered “outside the tail of academic legitimacy, Dr. Lawler explained. Dr. Reipe said he was not at all surprised over the decision to dismiss Dr. Lawler, explaining that “there was always at least one person in the administration who wanted Dr. Lawler out because of his political activities. I have known about this even before Dr. Gelbaum turned him down,” he said. Dr. Reipe claimed that the University has traditionally been run by “solidly conservative administrators from small farming towns.” terminate my and that it was in my best contract now rather than two years from now,” he said. He then replied that his case was not a matter of tenure, but simply reappointment. “Dismissing me before the full seven-year probation period implies a serious negligence on my part.” Debatable journals Dr. Lawler asked Dr. Ertell to examine his services to both the University and Buffalo communities. Dr. Lawler Persuasive advocates “Dr. Lawler comes up in favor of child care and a Marxist philosophy and this makes them shudder,” he added. Dr. Reipe does not feel Dr. Ertell was one of these administrators but that he might have been acting under their influence without contacting faculty or scholars in the field. Philosophy Department Chairman Peter Hare and Dr. Butler do not know the exact rationale behind Dr. Lawler’s reappointment, but speculate that Dr. Lawler’s personal advocates “must have been very persuasive.” Low-income students can still get food stamps * " * . by Mike McGuire Spectrum Staff Writer Students with low incomes can still qualify for federally-subsidized food stamps in Erie County, according to officials at the Food Stamp distribution office in downtown Buffalo. They emphasize, however, that the federal government could hand down regulations restricting food stamps for students at any time. Judy Putuska of the Erie County Department of Social Services, which runs the program said students are currently subject to the same eligibility requirements for food stamps as any other person who applies. Any contribution to the student from parents is counted as income, and thus, a high parental contribution could disqualify a student. Presently, a person buying food alone who makes $194 a month or less after certain expenses, is usually eligible for the program. For a household of two persons, the cutoff is $280 a month; for three, $406; for four, $513; and for five, $606 a month. After July 1, though, the cutoffs will be adjusted to $215 for one person; $300 for two; $427 for three; $540 for four; and $640 income a month for a household of five persons. Adjusted income Ms. Putuska told The Spectrum that the Social Services Department computes the adjusted income by subtracting payroll deductions, medical expenses, utility bills, and in the case of students, educational expenses, from the person’s wages and other income. In addition, if the rent a person pays is bver 30 percent of the income, the amount over 30 percent can also be deducted as an expense. According to the Department’s booklet Erie County Has Food Stamps For You!, an individual receiving food stamps receives ' ■ *- ■* ■ -m $23 worth every two weeks, for which he or she pays anywhere from $.50 to $22; depending on adjusted income, A student receiving food stamps with a low income after expenses, would pay relatively little. In order to obtain food stamps, potential recipients first call the Food Stamp office at 846-8347 for information. They are then sent an application and an instruction booklet explaining eligibility regulations. If they feel they are eligible, they may make an appointment with the Food Stamp office for certification. ■ . < While most appointments are made at the main office downtown, they may also be made in a number of satellite centers for convenience. Satellite centers arc located in the Riverside-Black Rock area, at 311 Ontario Street run by the HOPE community organization, and at the Amherst Senior Citizens Center at 72 South Cayuga Road in Williamsville. Prospective recipients are interviewed by a caseworker to determine eligibility, and should receive either a rejection letter or their first “authorization to purchase food stamps” card within a week to ten days. Afterwards, recipients must return for recertification at periods ranging from every month to every six months, depending on stability of income and expenses. According to one caseworker, the average recipient comes in every three months for recertification, which is only done at the Ellicott Square building downtown. Like cash After qualifying for food stamps, recipients can purchase them every two weeks at most commercial banks, upon presentation of a bimonthly authorization card that is mailed by the Social Services Department. The stamps can be used like cash in virtually all supermarkets and grocery stores, as well as in the local food cooperatives, except that they may not be used to buy tobacco, alcoholic beverages, or non-food items such as paper towels. Food Stamps may, however, be used to purchase seeds if the plant is edible, such as tomatoes or lettuce. Disputing Ms. Putuska’s information, however, is Neil Newman, a student at this University whose household now receives food stamps. He claimed that students are not “treated like everyone else” by all food stamp workers. Mr. Newman and his housemates received what he thought was “delaying treatment” at the hands of some workers, and found that different workers told them “different stories.” He found, however, that some do “give students a break.” Inspectors? The three students in their household brought in letters from their parents indicating that the parents pay rent, and in one case, tuition. This gave the food stamp workers some idea of the extent of parental support. Friday, 13 June 1975 The Spectrum Page three . . �Edit Who is to judge? University President Robert Ketter's decision to suspend five of the students arrested-during the April 25 sit-in at Hayes Hall, thus disregarding the more lenient recommendations of his own University ten means the Committee on the Maintenance of Public Order, is first time the President has acted contrary to the dictates of general consensus. This past January, Dr. Ketter significantly altered the recommendations of the broad-based, University-wide Colleges Chartering Committee by shortening the duration of all the charters, adding various provisions to some, and reminding three of the Colleges to be "particularly sensitive to matters of academic freedom." Apparently, Dr. Ketter, in establishing these committees in the first place, wants to maintain some semblance of democracy and hopefully have a firm backing to support him. But when the verdict is handed down from these committees following many long hours of testimony, and it doesn't agree with Dr. Ketter's own judgements, he just goes ahead and acts unilaterally. At a University where the principles of justice one hears about in the classroom should be practiced by its policy makers, this behavior is wrong. The university would stand to lose nothing by dropping the campus charges against the students. On the other hand, suspending the five students one a PhD candidate and another only a freshman permanently scars their records and possibly damages their futures irreparably. It appears Dr. Ketter has singled out these students as scapegoats of the demonstration, and has opted for severe punitive measures to frighten others from engaging in similar "mischief" in the future. — — Considering the seriousness of the consequences. Dr. Ketter, who is presently on one month sabbatical leave, has yet to justify his decision publicly. The least he can do is extend the students and the University community the courtesy of a public explanation. If he does not have the benevolence to drop all charges, at least he can abide by the ruling of the appointed University judges. The selling of the Colleges The need for a Collegiate System should reflect an interest in the innovative, educational merits of the Colleges, not in their access to choice dormitory rooms. Certainly the Colleges are worthy enough institutions that they shouldn't have to sell themselves by trading off the most desirable residential space in the Ellicott Complex for a longer list of members. Not only does this policy lessen dormitory students' freedom of choice it violates the academic spirit of the Colleges. — This does not mean-the Colleges should not be given some priority when it comes around to assigning rooms. As Colleges Dean Irving Spitzberg emphasized, coherent residential space is necessary for the survival of the living-learning philosophy behind many of the Collegiate units. However, it seems clear and therefore, unfortunate, that students are more interested in getting a single or a double room than joining a Collegiate community for the sake of the College. We sympathize with the College's need to gather all the support they can get and they should be given as much space as they need depending on actual demand. But promising students rooms before the demand has been fairly determined, supports a bias against students who really do not want to live in a Collegiate setting. This year, Clifford Furnas College successfully recruited a large number of students by publicizing its programs without mentioning, room priority at all. Thus, by running strong membership drives in the spring, the Colleges can establish demand first and set aside room space for the fall second. What the Colleges should be doing is educating students as to the academic advantages of joining a College and then letting them decide, not using nearly three fourths of the residential space in Ellicott to bribe them.

Hooterville, a small, rural village located somewhere in the not so deep South, plans to celebrate the upcoming bicentennial much like any other American town, except for one minor difference: the festivities will begin on July 4 of this year. Once considered a “rustic refuge for mindless country folk,” Hooterville wants to be a step ahead of the rest of the country In at least this respect. Actually, it is difficult to convince the local residents that perhaps their well-meaning intentions have little to do with reality. This questioning of sanity has not deterred the townspeople from making complete and utter fools of themselves. If anything, they are more determined to see through an event that signifies nearly twenty decades of life, liberty, and the pursuit of parking spaces, give or take a year. For all intents and purposes, 1975 represents more than a year to these people: it is also an incredibly high number. Still the townies are confident that their premature bicentennial will do much to enhance their stature as a great American institution (presently somewhere between J.P. Morgan and E.J. (Corvettes) as well as put Hooterville on the map, or at least on the mailing lists of the Readers Digest. General store entrepreneur Sam Drucker believes that Hooterville’s slumping commerce will receive a sharp kick in the butt if the bicentennial goes off as planned. Fifty-six years old and bald, Mr. Drucker gave this opinion; “Well, you see folks, it’s like this. Hooterville is what you might call an outgrowth of FDR’s New Deal, though some folks think we were spawned from the Beverly Hillbillies, like a trout laying its eggs upstream. That ain’t entirely true neither ’cause we folks were around when Sherman burnt down Atlanta using a butane lighter. General Sherman thought Hooterville was too pretty to bum down and guessed we needed a good cleaning instead. That’s why he busted a dam about 10 miles North of here which completely flooded Hooterville for over 40 years. I’m proud to say my father was one of the men who installed our first drain pipe around the turn of the century, which did a lot to dry up the area.” Mr. Drucker, however, did little to explain why Another citizen, merchant Fred Haney, is in charge of selling valuable artifacts, collected over our nation’s 200 years. Mr. Haney, whose voice cracks repeatedly, is always interested in making a sale: “’Scuse me, Mister, did you say you were interested in buying an actual revo-lutionary warship sail? It just so happens that I’ve got a sail from the boat that John Paul Jones sailed, made of beautiful terry cloth, and you can have this priceless article for only $.25. If you want, I’ll also include this lovely array of pots and pans, used by Paul Revere to cook up his famous ‘Midnight Ride’ special.” The Hooterville residents will also be treated to a variety of surprises, and our sources report that these events include free rides on Mr. Ziffel’s broken tractor, a surveying excursion of Mr. Ziffel’s bedroom led by local yokel Hank Kimbell, and an autograph session with the Ziffel’s son, Arnold the Pig. Arnold,, who could not be reached for immediate comment, indicated earlier that he might be joined by another Hooterville favorite, Gerald Ford. Of course, no bicentennial would be complete without a king or queen of the celebration, and Hooterville is no exception. The Hootervillians recently elected Oliver and Liza Douglas to reign over the festivities, and Mr. Douglas’ gratitude is quite apparent; “What scatter-brained nonsense!” “But Oliver, don’t you want to celebrate the bicycle-centennial?” “That’s bicentennial, Liza, and everybody else in the country is doing it next year.” “Well, maybe not everybody knows how to drive a bicycle yet.” “What’s this got to do with bicycles, Liza? The bicentennial means the 200th year since the signing of the Declaration of Independence.” “That’s a very long divorce, Oliver.” “And I refuse to be king of this mockery.” “Not king of mockery, Oliver, king of Hooterville. Why, royal blood runs in my family. My grandtpother was Queen of Hungary .” “Hungary?” “Oh, are you hungry Oliver. I’ll go make some hotcakes.” Preserve formaldy hide Friday, 13 June 1975 2 m To the Editor. In reply to Paige Miller’s unfounded accusation that the nauga population in the northeastern U.S. is on the verge of extinction, I must take issue. Anyone who has read the latest government figures knows that the naugas have been running rampant. This is largely due to the decline in numbers of their natural predator, the Giant Formaldy. And although naugahide is in great demand by furniture conglomerates, this is infinitesimal compared to the exploitative usage of formaldy hide by huge chemical and biological multinational corporations. The Giant Formaldy is about to disappear from the face of the earth. I would hope that Mr. Miller would direct his concerns where they are more acutely needed. Leroy M.

After going through the number of personnel changes that they have, there is absolutely no reason for them to still sound good, but they do. Having been a Fleetwood fan since the days of English Rose and the phenomenal Then Play On, I started to lost hope when resident genius Peter Green left to pursue spiritual enlightenment. Then the Kiln House album came out and, although their sound had become a lot mellower, they were still a first rate band. With the release of Future Games, the lost of Jeremy Spencer, and the addition of Christine McVie and Bob Welch, Fleetwood Mac moved more in the direction of a softer, commercial sound and, strangely enough, began to catch on in the United States. After the departure of Danny Kirwan, the last .of their original guitarists, th'eir sound became increasingly more bland, and, of course, more popular. Then, about a year ago, their former manager, taking advantage of slump in their touring schedule, put a bogus band on the road and called them Fleetwood Mac, claiming rights to the name. Due to this slight bit of misrepresentation, and the ensuing angry audiences, Fleetwood Mac, now consisting of Mick Fleetwood, John and Christine McVie, Lindsay and Stevie Nicks (only two original members) Buckingham is being billed as the original group. I didn't know what to expect from them. playing, I began to feel relieved maybe this would be a good concert after all. New guitarist Lindsay Buckingham, despite a lack of volume and an apparent Eric Clapton complex, sounded a lot better than Bob Welch, his — predecessor. Almost as good At the beginning of their second number ("Station Man" from the Kiln House album), they were joined by female singer Stevie Nicks, and the mixture of tight three part harmonies and a loud, driving guitar sound came quite close to the original. John McVie is as good a bass player as he ever was (if not better) and Mick Fleetwood, looking pounded away at c like an escapee from a mental his’drums as if his life depended QO'&Ki. At least half of the material they performed was new, apparently from an upcoming alburn, and featured Nicks and Buckingham predominantly. The new songs ("Angel" is the only title I can recall) were, for the most part, better than Bob Welch's ofiten inane handiwork. (Ever heard Sentimental Lady" or "Bermuda Triangle"?) One new piece was done acoustically, featuring Stevie's very expressive voice and some fine fingerpicking by Buckingham, while Christine M.'s dusky, soulful voice was at its best on "Spare Me a Little" from the Bare Trees Ip / Memories of Green Blues, blues The concert (June5, New Century Theatre) was opened by the Shakin' Smith Blues Band, a local group who I'm sure many of you have heard. Their set consisted of old blues numbers (surprise!), played in the unchanging Chicago style, with some degree of expertise. Their harp/singer is very good (the closest to Butterfield I've ever heard), and their lead guitarist was quite competent, but it's hard to listen to 45 minutes of blues without noticing a little repetition. The second band of the evening, spotlighting singer/guitarist Henry Gross, was slightly less interesting. Essentially a hard rock-raunch outfit, Henry and his band played about an hour of very predictable tunes, each reminding me of something else. Interspersed with a few softer, slow numbers (showcasing Gross' annoying voice), most of the rock material was reminiscent of rejected Rolling Stones cuts or perhaps the Doobie Brothers playing their first high school dance. When the Mac opened their set with a rousing shuffle piece, led by Christine McVie's greatly improved piano S' The other new songs, a mixture of light rock with pretty harmonies, country picking and intriguing minor chord progressions, sounded in places a little like the old (Peter Green) Fleetwood Mac. As previously mentioned, McVie's keyboard work on electric and acoustic pianos, organ and string synthesizer, was very good, at times taking the forefront with unexpected solos. Fleetwood and John McVie both had solos toward the end of the set, the former going nuts with a variable-pitch drum and a whistle, the latter playing some nice jazz-tinged bass lines. Aside from "Station Man," the band did a- few other old favorites, including "Rattlesnake Shake," "The Green Manalishi," and "Oh Well" (all Peter Green tunes). Although plagued by Buckingham's slightly weak voice, they still brought back fond memories. These songs were the only ones that caused any real excitement in the audience, who remained politely attentive, though apparently unmoved, through the rest of the concert.

There are moments when Wicker's third person is so corny ("Tom Wicker could not help remembering.the easy small-town life he once had known") that the reader must pause to reassure himself that it is not he, but the book that is hokey. Had Wicker not sought to artificially distance himself from a story that is built around himself, or introspective almost by definition, more of his self-analysis would seem credible, or at the very least, digestable. Most Southern liberals seem to bear the collective guilt of centuries of slavery and racism. As a result, they seem compelled to display their liberalism openly, often by going so far as to remember the first times they spoke to or even touched a black. Tom Wicker, A Time to Die Quadrangle Books (Hardcover, 342 pages) - Only hours before state police were given the go-ahead to spray bullets across Attica Prison's D yard. New York Times columnist Tom Wicker, in his capacity as one of 24 "neutral observers" called to Attica at the start of the rebellion, was on the phone with Nelson Rockefeller, trying to convince the former governor that only his presence at Attica could prevent the bloodbath that everyone except the inmates knew was coming. Mr. Rockefeller never made it to Attica that day or the next, because he believed a personal appearance would hurt, rather than help matters. Despite documentary evidence that there was "indiscriminate firing in congested areas" by the invading force and an almost total absence of medical preparations to help inmates who were certain to be seriously wounded during the attack, Mr. Wicker refuses to believe to this day, that Mr. Rockefeller was so callous of the value of human life that he did not care who might die at Attica. In his study of the Attica rebellion, A Time To Die, Wicker theorizes that its bloody finale was inevitable, because to the Rockefellers of the world, "those institutions, processes and arrangements by which humans had sought to order their affairs had become, finally, more important than the people who had erected them and sought to live by them." The slaughter of 39 men, he writes, was less the fault of our system of government than the logical result of Man's "profound instinct to establish and maintain, at all costs, an order of things." Throughout A Time To Die, Wicker tries to zero in on why the need for order has become so important, if not intrinsic to American life. But at book's end, he is still trying to figure out why a system he believes is basically sound and well-meaning, and whose people are innately decent is constantly stumbling over its own inequities and his own which dominates the book's 15 — - - the reader that A Time To Die may be little more than a device Wicker uses to come clean. Despite these drawbacks A Time To Die does have some excellent sections that make it one of the more interesting, if not important new works around. Wicker's descriptions of the interaction among members of the observer committee are particularly insightful, especially the way he analyzes how their differing value systems, temperaments, constituencies, definitions of responsibility, and even ways of dressing are brought to bear on each crisis. Equally intriguing is the way he illustrates the classic dilemna of the detached journalist turned involved-up-to-my-neck participant. The book is also replete with important information their history, sociology, about the nation's prisons failure, etc. Finally, on the informational level, Wicker's blow-by-blow account of the entire rebellion, particularly his lucid description of the retaking of D yard, is something everyone should read so they will know, at least factually, that the state policemen invaded the prison as if they were reliving the Invasion of Normandy. What then, is so bothersome about Tom Wicker's A Time To Die ? Perhaps it is the aforementioned ambivalence, the way Wicker walks a tightrope between liberal pragmatism and moral necessity. Despite a genuine sympathy for the inmates, his open-mindedness, and his sensitivity to blacks and underdogs of any sort ("Rascism, its consequences and its endurance in so many forms .. had been the central public concern of Tom Wicker's life . . . There had been no moment in his adult professional life when the race question had not been prominent in his mind and work"), when the big whistle blows, Wicker remains a moderate, a man with, though not in the Rockefeller sense, a "profound instinct to establish and maintain, at all costs, an order of things." Just as he cannot totally condemn Nelson Rockefeller for his refusal to come to Attica, Wicker sidesteps the heavier questions of what kinds of radical changes are and” convinces . Although Wicker tells us his greatest single dilemna at Attica was finding a way, at any cost, to preserve human life amidst this need for order, it is another search for — why the inmates of Attica felt compelled to rebel and what kinds of massive changes are needed to prevent these men from going to prison in die first place. Perhaps it is Wicker's own confusion about himself the very act of writing the book seems intended as a process that will enable him to discover things about himself that prevents him from spouting anything more conclusive than conventional, "bleeding heart rhetoric - brutalities. order Our Weekly Reader \ chapters. At first glance. Wicker seems to have built his book with a tripod construction. There is a constant between a blow-by-blow chronology of the rebellion, or the interaction within and among the inmates, observers, prison and state officials during the fatal week, pages of statistics and facts about American prisons, and flashbacks to Wicker's past. But this final level ultimately dominates the other two to such as extent that we wind up reading an autobiographical, third-person confessional of one man's ordeal that would more aptly be titled Tom Wicker's Greatest Crisis of The Confessions of a Southern Liberal. Wicker's use of the third person, whether intended for modesty or to distance his personal role from a tragedy of universal proportions, falls flat on its face. Where Nprman Mailer so skillfully used this device in The Armies of the Night to achieve a sense of irony, political effect and needed to eliminate the unequal justice he has battled against durintpatf of his professional life and has now No exception to the rule. Wicker provides us with vivid glimpses of his childhood and adolescence in Hamlet, North Carolina. He carefully describes how the first time he shook hands with a black (at age 19, while in college) "set the face of his life away from the South." His realization at Attica that "nothing racial stood between him and the inmates," we learn, was reached only after one of them called him "brother." While often fascinating in themselves, the value of these flashbacks as clues to Wicker's ambivalent morality is as questionable as their relevance to the problem at hand — witnessed firsthand. Attica remaTns, to the end, a profound human failure in Wicker's words, "a "failure of understanding, of courage, of intelligence, above all a failure of the human spirit." In this context, his use of Attica as a cover story to describe his own personal failure is outrageous because the word Attica has become synonymous, at least in less moderate people's minds, with the failure of systems and institutions. That reasonable men could not, by reasonable acts, personally prevent the 43 deaths only bears this out. —Larry Kraftowitz — ••••••••••••».a m j HAIRSTYLING j Joe s Theatre Barber : 105S Ksnmor* Ava.

Coco in 'The Wild P rty' ’tin • In some respects, the Hollywood of the 1920's and 30's was one huge, never-ending party. Screenwriters and the stars they helped create were pulling down salaries ranging into the thousands per week even at the height of the Depression (or, perhaps, especially at its height nickel matinees were among the very few luxuries jobless families still allowed which themselves), and the tyrannical producers encouraged their nouveau riche proteges to wear or drink up every penny of it in generally successful efforts to foster dependencies tighter than the legal — loopholes permitting contract-breaking. Many of the biggest movie stars and their tenacious hangers-on consequently lived like there was no tomorrow and fickle fans always had the power to make that unexpressed fear into an impoverishing — its But The Wild Party, with sentimental, almost loving treatment of Jolly, his mistress Queenie (Raquel Welch, whose often-expressed confidence in her ability to play "serious" roles is not assorted exactly contagious), and surrounding weirdoes, is no less a failure. We are never quite sure of which values are being attacked and which celebrated, a difficulty due less to ambivalence than to ineptitude; the feelings with which we are left are directed primarily against James Ivory and his cohorts. reality. In The Wild Party, director James Ivory and author Walter Marks have tried to recreate this era of thinly masked panic through what they apparently saw as an a full-scale all-encompassing metaphor Movieland bash which fills almost all of the film's two hours. Based very loosely on the career of Fatty Arbuckle, the silent-film comedian whose star status dissolved in the wake of sexual scandal, the film's conception is extremely apt; but its biggest problem is simply that the huge party thrown by Jully Grimm (James Coco) to inaugurate his comeback after the advent of the talkies seems to have been one of the most boring bombs in Hollywood — history. Tinsel trap Hollywood's cinematic self-analyses and few directors working in the United States, no matter how far they run from the land of tinsel itself, can fully escape its influence for even a foot of film must inevitably fall victim to one basic fallacy: moviemakers still use film to criticize film.

W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings All gummed up Walter Marks' screenplay, based on an epic poem by Joseph Moncure March (who becomes Jolly's Vale-educated co-writer and friend in the film, an observer similar to Nick Carraway in last year's equally awful The Great Gatsby ), is stilted and phony, as are his bubble-gummy songs. Raquel Welch's ex-burlesque star Queenie, "the kind for whom men sell their souls," personality and, as far as anyone can tell, no mind. Men might conceivably be tempted to offer up their bodies to her, but she would have no idea of what to do with anything else.

Officials from the Allentown Village Society postponed the scheduled 10 a m. opening until noon, and nearly 25,000 onlookers paraded past the 400 exhibitions under the most threatening of skies. If local artists were mildly discouraged by Saturday's turnout, they had little to complain about Sunday with over 150,000 visitors jamming Delaware and its adjoining streets to view the paintings, photographs, wood crafts and numerous other exhibits. Indeed, the sidewalk strollers often found it difficult to steal a gaze at the handicrafts as the crowds enveloped the artists and their work.

This year, under the artistic direction of Robin Phillips, the Festival Theatre company will perform four \plays by Shakespeare in addition to one play each by George' Bernard Shaw, Berthold Brecht, and Arthur Miller. Included on the list are Twelfth Night, Two Gentlemen of Verona, Measure for Measure, The Comedy of Errors, The Crucible, Saint Joan, and Trumpets and Drums.

Literary critics have been somewhat suspicious of Measure for Measure, arguing that the language in the second half of the play does not quite flow like the poetry in the first half. This incongruity has led them to question whether Shakespeare wrote the play alone or with a little help from his friends. Indeed, even to the average playgoer, the language, the punning, and the story do not live up to plays like The Tempest, Comedy of Errors, or A Midsummer Night's Dream. One gets the feeling that even if Shakespeare did write the entire play, he wasn't in a very clever This Canada Theatre is famous for its thrust stage, a pillared, porticoed structure designed in 1953 by Tanya Moiseiwitsch and Tyrone Guthrie. The stage is a modern adaptation of the Elizabethan model with a balcony, trapdoors, seven acting levels and nine major entrances. The Avon Theatre, Stratford, Ontario is 140 miles from Buffalo by car. Or, if you don't care to drive, the Norton Hall Ticket Office is sponsoring two weekend trips to Stratford in July and August which include tickets to four plays, transportation, and accommodations for two nights (meals are extra), all for approximately $50.

The Duke of Vienna wants the city's laws more strictly enforced so he hands over the government to his Deputy, Angelo, and pretends to go abroad. He reamins in the city, though, disguised as a to observe Angelo's friar, administration of "justice." Meanwhile, Angelo decides to revive a long-neglected statute on lechery and as a result, Claudio is sentenced to be executed for sleeping with Juliet and getting her pregnant. Claudio's sister, Isabella, who is taking her vows to become a nun, entreats Angelo for hypocrisy mercy. But to save work was if they really shined, and believe me, they fell quite short of the mark. There was just too much yelling and not enough acting. If anyone deserves praise, it's Martha Henry for her virginal sincerity as Isabella. Measure for Measure simply does not measure up to Shakespeare's standards. But chances are this is the only lemon of the season. Make plans to go to Stratford. Your luck will undoubtedly be better. Angelo will only agree Claudio's life if his sister Xavieras business only R-rated, harmless fluff by Mike McGuire Spectrum Arts Staff My Pleasure Is My Business, featuring Happy Hooker Xaviera Hollander in her first film role and now playing at Amherst's Evans Theater (Evans Road at Sheridan Drive), is a light, frothy sex farce that is a perfect way to spend a afternoon. The film begins with a U.S. Senator ordering movie queen and sex symbol Gabrielle (Ms. Hollander) out of the country for consorting with his son-in-law, who "is going to be President." Approximately twenty countries refuse to let the chartered jet containing Gabrielle land, the only words being discernible in each case being "too sexy." lazy Nonsensuous She finally lands in the Principality of Gestalt (get it, Psych majors?) where a corrupt government hopes to use her to get the people's attentions off them. From the moment she lands in Gestalt, all pretensions at a serious movie or at porn are dropped, and the prevailing mood becomes one of a Keystone Kops movie. Gabrielle is chased around by detectives in trenchcoats trying to get incriminating information (i.e., if she was engaged in prostitution, which in the movie she isn't). Whether the detective is on foot, in a car, or on a bicycle, he will always manage to run into another detective and/or corrupt politician and let Gabrielle get away. Predictably, since many of the sight-gags were inspired by television's old "Laugh-In," the forces of the government end up throwing pies at each other. Not so predictably, in the one chase where the bad guys (the cops and politicians) seem to have a chance, they are finally fouled up by getting caught at a "Llama Crossing," where a llama is led across the road by a gril dressed, of course, in a bikini. Persona-fied everyone has a Being an exercise in different, clearly definable national accent in Gestalt. And occasionally, a single person will change accents halfway through, as if the accent were a mask that could be changed at will. A good part of the movie is spent following Gabrielle around at a party thrown for sexually "kinky" people by a man on the run masquerading as an Italian film director named Frederico (any guesses?). The cast of characters there includes a frustrated sex therapist taking notes (continually, even when she is dunked in the pool), a midget shooting whipped cream under ladies' dresses, two : | NOWI Brought to You in ...

The Ketter administration has once again shown its contempt for the students and faculty of this University. By ignoring the verdict of his own hand-picked court in the case of the students arrested on April 25th, he has shown that he has no respect for his own rules' regarding the maintenance of public order. The hearing results were tossed aside when they didn’t rubber stamp Ketter’s decisions. Regardless of one’s opinions as to the decency of the April 25th demonstration and the subsequent arrests, both students and faculty should be aware of the fact that Ketter will do as he pleases regardless of the opinions of the students and faculty. The Supreme Court of the United States ruled recently that high school students are entitled to certain rights regarding suspension. Aren’t university students entitled to the same rights?

For years men have said that only a stake, through the that, or heart could keep him from striving for the White House Rockefeller on the Reagan to and dye supply. off his hair Next cutting other side, he still looks like a youngster. Certainly he has the youngest tongue in town. Welcome back, Hubert. You should have made it one of those times. You are not the Harold Stassen of our presidential races, a joke on the campaign. You are the Norman Thomas, an honor to it. You will give it some badly needed class. Sarge Shriver, too. It was dead certain he would run. Why? Because he ran for vice president last time. The principal qualification for running in a presidential campaign is having run in a presidential campaign or having competed hotly for it. Shriver’s brother-in-law thq fact began in 1960 with only one recommendation as president that he ran for the vice presidential nomination four years earlier. Muskie got his start that way, too. (We’ll be hearing from him again before this one is over.) The point is not just that repeaters keep repeating. Repeaters win. Franklin Roosevelt got his head start for 1932 by running as a vice presidential candidate in 1920 and by moving into A1 Smith’s slot as governor when Smith moved up to the presidential nomination in 1928. Nixon won the second time around. Almost every recent presidential candidate and winner had an earlier try in the national race. It has long been recognized that incumbent officeholders have an advantage. It is time to recognize a correlative category: the incumbent runner. Wallace is the principal incumbent runner this time. But we also have Jackson, Reagan, Rockefeller. Kennedy is an honorary incumbent, since people have already run him twice in their minds. Jimmy Carter may not have a chance this time; but how else is he to gain credentials for 1980? In order to run credibly you have to have run before. Every pre-election year about this time, people deplore the lack of new faces, fresh talent, and innovative approach. But pretty obviously the voters do not want untested goods. New people try to break in, but do not get far, at least the first time. The electorate wants to become and what better way familiar with anyone who would be president than the glare and heightened political temperature of a presidential — — — Democractic constitution? To the Editor. In The Spectrum of May 7, 1975, there appeared a letter from Kevin Crane, attacking my Guest Opinion of April 18 on the subject of the Constitution, which I would now like to answer. The problem with the Student Assembly was its lack of information on important issues; this turned it into a body which was largely ignored, by both students and the University. It had little, if any power to take action on its own, and when it did use this power, the results were usually rather violent; for example, the athletic freeze that was imposed last November. Mr. Crane, you refer to the fact that it was very to join the Student Assembly. The easy Constitutional Reform Comrtiittee agreed with you. In fact, it was so easy to join the Assembly, that it was very susceptible to being packed with proponents or opponents of certain issues. You claim to support a democratic Assembly. Well, the Assembly last year was nothing but an oligarchy, much less a democracy, composed of members of an elite group of clubs and “service” organizations. When it was convenient for them to increase their representation, they had people stand in the lobby of Norton and collect signatures. At least 80 percent of Assembly members last year did not know who they were representing; I daresay that they did not represent those people, but misused their franchise in representing no one but themselves. If you call that democracy, then I think that you would be very much at home in Spain. The Constitution is designed so that the members of the Senate will be free from political pressure once they are elected, so that they may more truly express the opinions for which they were elected. 1 also would take exception to your statement that less representatives always results in less democracy; I believe that it all depends upon the people that get elected. No matter how many members of the Assembly there were, they usually represented themselves, not the people that signed their petitions. The Task Forces will be the center of the new government, not the Senate. They will formulate legislation to be approved by the Senate, and budgets to be approved by the Financial Assembly. The Task Forces will be far more open than the Executive Committee, where most of this work was formerly done, and will provide almost unlimited opportunity for input. Mr. Crane, you say that you don’t have the time to ‘futz around’ with elections or Task Forces in order to be ‘heard.’ When members of the Senate vote, they are not just representing their own voice, but also that of the people who elected them. If you want to join simply because you wish to have your own voice heard, then you are, in my opinion, unfit for the Senate. Lastly, 1 think that a decrease in club and interest group representation would be just fine and dandy, because they are overrepresented right now. When I see six representatives from NYPIRG, five from CAC, and only eight commuters, in a school where the number of people in NYPIRG is only around 65, the number of people in CAC is 2000, and the number of commuters is approximately 8500, I say that clubs and interest groups are overrepresented. Are you a member of a club or interest group, Mr. Crane?? — race? * , ' Cl • <■ Gallup polls showed significant pre-nomination support for only only five or six men in each party over the last third of a century 109 people were given over 1 percent support in polls, from either party, since 1936. And over 60 percent of the Republicans ever some as many as six or seven times. The mentioned were repeaters percentage of Democrats was lower because Franklin Roosevelt held on to the presidency for so long without serious opposition in his party. So even the lack of repeaters proves, in this case, s prejudice against brand-new faces in a race for the top. — — The American electorate is very conservative it regularly returns over 90 percent of its congressional people to office. It does not tire of political faces as quickly as newsmen do. The people are not even tired, yet, of Hubert. — Bert Black Big City Skyline Hamburger art To the Editor In a year in which virtually all student groups have been working with severely limited budgets, we wish to speak out on what we regard as an incredibly inappropriate use of student funds. We are referring to. the “light sculpture” on display in Quarry Lot of UB campus this week. This particular piece of “art” seems to us to be of little or no value to all but a handful of students. Particularly when the expense of such a “project” is taken into account ($840.00). This is the type of display seen when hamburger joints open up. Although we realize the value of artistic endeavors, we feel such expenditures should come under scrutiny as close as that applied to other student activities. If pressures and guidelines have to be applied to some student groups they should be applied with equal intensity to all groups including those responsible for this “display.” We hope in the future those responsible will direct their efforts towards more appropriate and less expensive works of art. Carol I. Block David Shapiro Arthur Lalonde Jr Andrew Harrington Dennis Delia Healthy minds and bodies To the Editor. Education should not stop at the academic level. Athletic programs, both inter-collegiate and intra-mural, have great value to any well-rounded educational institution. Let me quote from the philosophy of UB “Our society and its technology change so rapidly that constrictive education will not prepare students to the fullest possible extent, for the 40 or more years of creative individual effort before them. Undergraduate education must be designed to lift students from the confines, of a narrow vision to reach full potential. “Students are urged to make themselves familiar with the various educational options offered and take advantage of the opportunities provided to make the experience of higher education one of the most exciting, most meaningful, and most thorough of human experiences.” If we neglect our physical selves, it gives an unbalance to our education. To create and maintain this balance, we need full and extensive inter-collegiate and intramural programs.

Yet, with several spectacular wins a year ago, the ranking of the nation’s twentieth best team currently belongs to the State University at Buffalo. The University of Kentucky Wildcats, which finished second in the nation in basketball to UCLA, dispatched its highly touted wrestling squad to Buffalo last year and came away a loser. Big bullies The situation was likewise for Lockhaven and Clarion State, two of the perennial bullies on the Eastern Collegiate Wrestling circuit. Though Buffalo’s big three of Young, Wright and Faddoul have departed through either graduation or expiration of eligibility, Michael’s ten returning lettermen, including Junior Bruce Hadsell and Ron Parker and Senior Eric Drasgow, are expected to respond to what may be the strongest schedule in Buffalo’s wrestling history. In addition to Penn State and University of Pittsburgh, probably the two strongest teams in the East, Michael has scheduled a dual home match with the University of Oklahoma, undoubtedly one of the best schools in the West and, more often than not, a member of the top ten wrestling schools in the United States. Seemingly, Oklahoma will be an overwhelming favorite to beat the Bulls, but Buffalo fans who see the match in Clark Gymnasium this autumn may see one of the collegiate upsets of the year. Because on that night, as Coach Michael will readily attest, the Wrestling Bulls are “going to take and creative architect of a remarkably sound varsity wrestling program. Since his relocation at Buffalo following a highly successful coaching career at Coming Community College, Michael has apparently followed his own advice and “taken care of business.” Without benefit of scholarships or other financial subsidies, Michael has brought a plethora of exceptionally fine student-wrestlers to the Buffalo campus and, over the past five years, compiled an care of bus-i-ness.” eye-opening 81 wins, 12 losses, 3 ties record. ) Video electro-acoustics workshops , Media Study, 3325 Bailey Avenue, will offer two workshops this summer in video and electro-acoustics, limited to IS participants apiece.

Friday, 13 June 1975 Extended families Vietnamese refugees housed at Niagara U. by Don Eisenmann Contributing Editor The first 13 of an expected 32 Vietnamese refugees have arrived in Western New York and are temporarily residing at Niagara University. The remaining 19 are slated to arrive within two weeks and live in Niagara’s Timon Hall until permanent housing and jobs can be found. The 32 refugees are the extended families of two young Vietnamese priests who have been living in Buffalo for the past two years. Father Dominic Luong teaches in the Buffalo Diocese and is stationed at St. Mark’s in Niagara Falls. Father James Linh is currently studying at Canisius College. When the two priests discovered that their families had escaped from Saigon and were at Camp Pendclton in California, they began to search for ways to bring them to Buffalo. - A buffer They eventually contacted Catholic Charities, which operates through the Catholic Relief Service as the resettlement agency for this area. Rev. Henry 1. Gugino, associate director of Catholic Charities, explained that they first had to find sponsors for the refugees and that Niagara University agreed to house the people for about two months. “The sponsors act as an intermediate buffer between now and a time when the refugee families can become adapted to our language and culture,” Rev. Gugino said. They do not assume legal financial responsibility for the refugees but they do help fill their immediate needs for clothing and shelter and give them community assistance and guidance so they don’t become welfare burdens. “The University will be a staging area to help prepare them for resettlement, find them homes and jobs and help them overcome the language barrier,” said Father Gugino. Job offers All of the refugees come from Saigon and most are former employees of the government, which may make it difficult to find employment. However, Rev. Gugino said there have already been several job offers, including a bank clerk and freight department worker at a local factory. About 7 or 8 jobs will be needed. It’s going to take an effort to find them jobs. It won’t be easy, but we hope not too difficult,” said Rev. Gugino. Eight families and St. John’s parish in Lockport are sponsoring the refugees. Father Gugino feels the refugees have been well received and “depending on the employment and housing possibilities in the Western New York area, there will probably be more refugees brought here.” Are they happy? The first refugees to arrive were four Vietnamese children Hieu, 8; Anh, 10; Thuc, 11; and Thanh, 13 and their older cousin, Nguyen Nghia. Tom Hohensee, a spokesperson for Niagara University, said that although the children’s parents did not escape from Vietnam, and in all probability, they will never see them again, they appear to be happy. But he added, “This country is so different, it is hard to imagine how they feel.” Mr. Hohensee added that once the rest of the refugees arrive, they will begin English classes. — He also pointed out that while there hasn’t been any negative response, there hasn’t been any overwhelming welcome either. Niagara University, he said, has started a “Vietnam Resettlement Fund,” and is asking that cash donations be sent directly to the University. �� CLASSIFIED AO INFORMATION ADS MAY be placad In Tha Spectrum office weekdays 12 a.m.-S p.m. The deadline for Friday's papar Is Tuesday at 5 p.m. THE OFFICE Is located In 355 Norton Hall, SUNV/Buffalo, 3435 Main Street, Buffalo, New YorkT4214.

Mr. Flowers originally told the prosecution Monday that Shango had ordered the “execution” of Attica inmates Kenneth Hess and Barry Schwartz during the prison uprising in 1971. However, under cross-examination Tuesday, Mr. Flowers said Shango made no mention of an “execution” when he met him on the way to D Block the day the two inmates died, but that Shango apparently expressed concern over an injury to Schwartz’s arm. The defense began its questioning by tracing the history of the state investigation into statements made by Mr. Flowers since November 1971. During that time, Mr. Flowers was confined to a segregation unit in Attica prison and was questioned on a daily basis, Econ. 303-Y 4 Cr.

Mr. Flowers then told the defense that he related information to defense committee member Linda Borus in the fall, 1974, which contradicted previous remarks made to state investigators. He told the court that he was called into D Block during the uprising to treat a cut on Schwartz’s arm when he (Flowers) ran into Shango in the hallway. In addition to voicing concern over Schwartz’s injury, Shango warned his fellow inmates to stay away from D Block. Mr. Flowers testified that Shango did not mention an “execution” at that time. The defense also cited testimony which Mr. Flowers gave in Wade hearings in February, when prosecution witnesses were called to positively identify the defendants. At that time, Mr. Flowers once again said he “never heard of an execution.” When Mr. Flowers was later re-examined by the prosecution, he told the court Shango had indeed Upon a- further ordered an “execution.” cross-examination by the defense,, however, he claimed the statements made to Ms. Borus and at the Wade hearing were true.

The projected funding cut-off is the result of increased* budget cutbacks and personnel layoffs mandated by the State Legislature :earlier this year, said director of Housing Madison Boyce. There is a good chance, however, that the off-campus housing service will be bailed out of its financial difficulties by the Scholastic Housing Co. Inc., a division of Sub-Board, according to Mr. Boyce and Executive Director of Sub-Board Tom Van Nortwick. A meeting between Mr. Boyce and Mr. Van Nortwick took place last April to discuss the possible transition of authority. Mr. Van Nortwick, who serves Sub Board primarily in an advisory capacity, expressed Sub-Board’s concern for the possible elimination of this student service. “We personally felt that this kind of service should be provided, and that Scholastic Housing Co. might be an adequate vehicle to assume the responsibility if the state can’t,” he said. Resolutions Mr. Van Nortwick presented the idea of taking over off-campus housing to the Scholastic Housing Council on May 1st. A resolution was passed stating that the Scholastic Housing would “pursue the concept of taking over the activity of off-campus housing service.” A second resolution establishing a committee to undertake the investigation was also passed. Mr. Van Nortwick estimated that the off-campus housing service would cost between $7000 and $10,000 annually. The bulk of the expense would be. used to provide a salary for one full-time employee, and the rest would be spent on miscellaneous supplies, he said! As an alternative plan, Mr. Van Nortwick is' investigating the possibility of a current Sub Board employee running the service on a part-time basis. This mighfxut the expense down to as little as $3000 per year, % Mr. Van Nortwick said. •„ = / Optimism V' :S N o The idea was presented to the Sub Board Board of Directors on May 15th, and a resolution was, passed expressing full support of the Scholastic Housing Co.’s “investigation of whether or not it is feasible to handle such a project.” Another meeting between Mr. Boyce and Mr. Van Nortwick is scheduled for sometime this week. The two will discuss what is involved in running the housing service, and Mr. Van Nortwick is hopeful that he can abetter determine the feasibility of implementing his alternative plan for staffing the office. Both sides admit that nothing is certain yet, but Mr. Boyce is optimistic that one way or another, “there will be an orderly transition of authority.” Mr. Boyce hopes there will be no interruption of off-campus housing services. ' Law School WHATS OUR BAG? SB A invalidates Opinion constitution and elections ‘ by Laura Bartlett Campus Editor The Student Bar Association (SBA) has directed members of the. Opinion, the Law School student newspaper, to hold new editorial elections next fall before October 1; Elections held earlier this year, in which Editor-in-Chief David Gerlnger and Senior Editor Ray Bowie were re-elected, were declared invalid by a vote of 9-3-2, The SBA also nullified the Opinion's new constitution which was adopted in January. In both cases, SBA members objected to the absence of “a reasonable quorum” at Opinion elections, and the alleged exclusion of several staff members from participation in the voting. The SBA action came in a meeting at the end of the spring semester. An ad hoc committee, appointed by SBA President Rosemary Roberts in early April, presented the results of its two-month study of allegations against the Opinion and its editors before the vote was taken. The committee held an open hearing May 6 where written allegations solicited from the student body were presented to both the Opinion editorial board and interested students. A hostile relationship hostile extremely “An relationship” exists between the Opinion and the SBA and the student body which “seriously threatened the viability of a law student newspaper in its present form,” committee member Doren Goldstone said. Several of the allegations addressed in the open hearing and the committee’s report were found to be unjustified, and the actions of the Opinion's editors to sound editorial be “within These included discretion.” requirements about complaints for submission and editing of articles and refusal to print a column under a collective, by-line the article without labeling “commentary.” “The committee feels that the decisions made by the Opinion with respect to [certain] articles were within proper editorial discretion, and not actionable by the SBA,” Mr. Goldstone said. have appeared in the Opinion" attacking decisions made by the SB A. Mr. Goldstone reported that much despite conflicting the testimony,” committee concluded that the allegation was not Committee supported. members believed that at the time of the first editorial, Mr. Bowie was unaware of Ms. Robert’s candidacy, and did not intend to run for office, Mr. Goldstone told the SBA. The SBA only acted on the the allegations concerning Opinion's editorial election and the adoption of a new Opinion constitution. The re-election of Mr.Geringer as Editor-In-Chief and Mr. Bowie as Senior Editor involved only three people: David Geringer, Ray Bowie, and Opinion staff member Robin Skinner, Mr. Goldstone said. The new constitution was accepted at a meeting with only six people in attendance. The guidelines set by the Opinion for determining who was a “general staff’ member, and thus eligible to vote, discouraged rather than encouraged student participation in the paper and the voting, said Mr. Goldstone. But even under these guidelines, more staff members were .eligible to vote than the few who participated in the elections. Thus, a quorum (two-thirds of those eligible to vote, according to the old Opinion constitution) would have consisted of more than three or even six. Even Ms. Skinner wasn’t even eligible to vote, he said. At this point, Mr. Geringer interjected, ‘This quorum thing is something you people just made up,” explaining that he did not interpret the constitution to mean that two-thirds of all those eligible were necessary, but simply two-thirds of those present. Goldstone contended, Mr. however, that “no reasonable quorum could have been met by two members voting,” and both elections were nullified. A resolution to have the SBA supervise the new elections and to determine who is “general staff’ was defeated. “ However, the resentment the allegations “needless hostility revealed between the student body and the Ofiiniqn editorial board,” he added. The committee recommended that the Opinion establish written guidelines for contributions. surrounding , Political relationship Another charge levied by Bert Slonim, a member of the National Lawyer’s Guild, dealt with “the political nature of the relationship between the Opinion and the SBA.” He felt this was manifested in an editorial, written by former Editor-in-Chief Ray Bowie, which ’ # -^ ant s ' r' W Jr -. Q avi( j Q er i nger ° praised former SBA President and Treasurer Don Lohr and Ed Zagajeski while attacking SBA members Rosemary Roberts and Paul Equale. “It was easily foreseeable at the time that Rosemary would run for president,” he contended. “Subsequently, Ray [Bowie] resigned as editor,” Mr. Slonim continued. “The Opinion issue which came out immediately before the election contained a one-and-a-half page endorsement of Ray Bowie and his ticket written by., Don Lohr and Ed Zagajeski. Bowie and his ticket lost the election, nevertheless but then Bowie assumed the new position of “Senior Editor” of the Opinion Mr. Slonim explained.

The bill was removed by Ronald Stafford, Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Higher Educations Despite" a -majority of Senate members favoringis the legislation, Mr- Rubinstein continued, the bill headed for defeat “unless ,we take very strong and drastic action to s%ve it.” SASU requested that individual students, student governments, and student newspapers send telegrams to Mr. Stafford’s office, urging him to replace the bill on the Senate’s agenda. Student Association (SA) President Michele Smith took this ! action earlier this week.' The bill was introduced May 12 by Senator Joseph Pisani (R-Westchester) at the request of SASU and the City University Student Senate (CSS). It has been previously brought up in the State Assembly by “Higher Education Committee Chairperson Irwin Landes, and according to SASU Communications Director Andy Hugos, has received broad support from legislative leaders, including Assembly speaker Stanley Steingut, Assembly Minority Leader Perry Duryea, Senate Majority Floor Leader William Conklin and Senate Minority Leader Manfred Ohrenstein. . Staten Island Senator John Marchi to Albany Senator Howard Nolan,” Mr. Hugos said. The legislation would permit a student representative to participate as a non-voting member of the City University Board of Higher Education, local SUNY councils, and community college boards Trustees, of trustees, as well as the SUNY Board of one student allows to bodies presently feach of these but excludes meetings, and observe its formal attend students from executive sessions, where important decisions are often discussed. Ray Glass, SASU Legislative Director, feels the present structure of these governing boards “does not adequately provide for meaningful representation of student opinions and perspectives in their deliberations.” “Because of students’ competence, knowledge of public institutions of higher education and their unique perspective,” he added, “this bill would improve the effectiveness and wisdom of the decisions of these bodies.” 1 , Input needed Mr. Glass argued that students contribute over $200 million annually in tuition and fees toward the operation of these institutions, and they should have “direct input” into these operations. Students already serve on the governing boards of over a dozen public colleges and universities, Mr. Hugos said. In Alabama, Governor Goerge Wallace mandated by Executive Order that the student government president of each campus be a pon-voting member of the campus governing board and five students sit on the Board of Trustees of Cornell University, he said. “The main lobbyists against the bill are SUNY Central, the college councils and the New York City University Board of Trustees,” Mr. Rubinstein added. The legislation would add the President of the Bipartisan support SUNY Student Assembly to the SUNY Board of “A majority of both parties in both the Senate Trustees, the Chairperson of the CSS to the New and the Senate Higher Education Committee is York City Board of Higher Education, and the co-sponsoring the bill, as well as 70 members of the individual campus student government presidents to State Assembly.

He said the success of the Ellicott Complex Sub Shop encouraged the opening of new snack locations. The Richmond cafeteria will be “a carbon copy” of the Red Jacket location, he said. He reported that a security system installed at the Ellicott Complex to protect the vending machines from vandalism has proven extremely effective. So continued on p«g* 13— �The Kennedy assasination Was history helped? Connally and spectator James Tague were all wounded duri those critical 5.6 seconds. The Warren Commission argued that the first bullet struck Kennedy and Coimally, the second missed the motorcade completely, hit a curb and sent a concrete splinter flying into Tague’s cheek, while the third* fatal bullet struck Kennedy in the head, literally blowing his brain apart. Editor’s note: The following is the first in a summer series exploring the John F. Kennedy assassination and the movement for a new investigation. Part I covers challenges to evidence used by the Warren Commission in its investigation of the by Curt K( ;hler and Chip Berlet Speeki to The Spectrum (CPS) When John F. Kennedy died in Dallas over 11 years ago, the world changed. Camelot was shattered, and in its place came the turmoil of the 60’s and the early 70’s: race riots, the nightmare of Vietnam, protests and counter-protests tearing the nation apart, still more assassinatipns, the Nixon presidency and Watergate. An increasing number of people, prodded by a group of dedicated, fanatical “conspiracy sometimes researchers,” have come to believe that history had some help that day. They reject the Warren Commission’s finding that Lee Harvey Oswald, alone and unassisted, shot President Kennedy to death. Instead they have argued that the Warren Commission, during its ten month investigation, succeeded only in offering a timid and flawed defense of suppositions formed in the hours immediately following the shooting, that Kennedy was indeed murdered as part of a well-planned conspiracy and that the murders still remain at large today. These claims are based, in part, upon analysis of photographic evidence which indicates the President may have been shot by from two to four gunmen and re-examination of medical evidence used by the Warren Commission to support the single assassin theory. Much of the controversy centers around a home movie of the assassination made by Abraham Zapruder, a Dallas dressmaker who captured the moments during which Kennedy died. By timing the film, speed investigators have established that the shots aimed at the Presidential motorcade were fired during a 5.6 second interval. Tests conducted by the commission on the rifle which many believe Oswald fired determined it was impossible to load and shoot the clumSy, single shot weapon more than three times during those 5.6 seconds. The Zapruder film consequently becomes crucial to any analysis of the chooting. If it could be proved that more than three shots were fired that day in Dallas, it would follow that someone other than Oswald fired upon the President. And if someone other than Oswald fired, it also follows that there was a conspiracy to kill Kennedy. — „ Flight of the superbollet President Kennedy, Texas Gov. John The first bullet, said the commission, struck the President fn the base of his neck, exited from his throat, slimmed into Connally’s back shattering his fifth rib, emerged from the Governor’s chest and passed through his right wrist, breaking at least one bone, and finally came to rest in Connally’s left thigh This bullet, often called the Superbullet, inflicted seven wounds, broke at least two bones, and was found in near perfect condition by a janitor on a stretcher in Parkland Hospital. The President of the American Academy of Forensic Science finds this thesis extremely doubtful. Dr. Robert J. doling told CPS, “It is to me inconceivable that the bullet in question could have passed through Kennedy and Conally and found in such a pristine condition.” Dr. Joling said if it were possible to weigh the lead fragments found in Kennedy and Connally and add them to the weight of the unscathed bullet, the total weight would exceed the normal weight of a single bullet. There are other reasons to label this lone bullet Superbullet. Examination of Kennedy’s shirt and jacket, the initial sketches and testimony of autopsy witnesses present at the autopsy have entered Superbullet the indicated the back inches below six Kennedy’s wound in the President’s throat from which the bullet allegedly exited. Since Oswald was firing from above Kennedy, this means the Superbullet must have turned in midair before striking the President, passed through him on an upward path, and then made a second, downward turn before striking Connally. The final autopsy sketches, however, show the initial entrance wound above the exit wound, where it would have to be to uphold the Superbullet theory. then be though,,, is According to Dr. Cyril Wecht, past 'by frame No.224.

But in testimony before the bullet travelling 1800 i« -2100 feet per that Warren Commission the doctors simply second simply does not hang'around t6 go,” it wants way to decidc’wliich long moved the hole up several inches.” .' Dr. Wecht has since described the said Dr. Joling, “one of the most Kennedy autopsy as incompetent, Kennedy thmst backwards? superficial, incomplete, The Zapruder film also shows that after that I have ever medical-legal autopsies Kennedy and Connally are initally hit, the seen.” Testimony of witnesses present during final shot strikes Kennedy in the head and the the autopsy indicated the Superbullet may snaps his upper torso backwards into bits of blood never, in fact, have exited from Kennedy’s arms of his wife, showering back after inflicting the initital wound. and brain backwards. Conspiracy theorists have argued if Secret Service agent Roy Kellcrman where described how one of the autopsy doctors Kennedy was hit from behind, to be his positioned, probed the bullet entrance wound as Oswald was supposed thrust, been forward. body would have Although Warren Commasion defenders explained that Kennedy’s backwards motion was a neuromuscular reaction to the destruction of his brain, critics have charged It is the finil proof that someone fired from the front of the motorcade.

The Spectrum Page five . �most oe Hopefully, the members of the Student Association (SA) out of Executive Committee have gotten all the silly some serious their system and are ready to get down to governing. When six representatives of the most powerful student body on campus level severe charges against its President and when people who should be working together begin working against themselves, that is a matter that can not be taken lightly. When those same representatives insist on resigning and later change their minds because they realize their differences are not too enormous to be resolved, their hastiness may further damage the credibility Of the student government in the eyes of the student body and destroy the unity so essential to bringing administrative policy-making out from behind closed doors. SA President Michele Smith was accused of acting unilaterally and too rashly in her attempts to handle several delicate issues, and perhaps, whether due to inexperience or simply poor judgment, those claims were justified. But two months in office is hardly enough time for six important members of the student government to become so convinced of the uselessness of reasonable compromise that their only recourse is to walk out on SA. Those who threatened to resign acted just as rashly, almost giving up before they really placed their cards on the table. Not only could a mass resignation have crippled SA at a time when the organization must fight to muster up all the support it can get, but it could have strengthened the notion of many that student government is obsolete. Fortunately, since there were no resignations in the end, we can stop thinking about what could have been and start discussing what will be. This year's SA administration seemed headed in the right direction, even if there were mistakes made. For one thing, the budgets were passed smoothly with a minimum of haggling. Executive members went out of their way to inform the students of what was going on, and for the first time in too long a time, SA put its name behind an important political cause. Certainly, if Executive Vice President Art Lalonde cannot do something to improve the Student Assembly (or the Student Senate as it is called under the new constitution), then nobody can. The most important thing now is that the Executive Committee stands together and learns to iron out its differences before any individual or small group acts in the name of the students. If the student voice is to be heard or heeded, students must first learn to reach an understanding among themselves before they take on the rest of the world. Before anyone else can respect SA, it must first respect itself. 'And the living's easy' The campus has taken on a new image these days. The once mechanical, nervous activity of the regular school year has given way to the blithe, carefree spirit of the lingering summer afternoon. While dogs of every shape and size bound across the Norton fountain area, and while the smell of roasted hot dogs lingers in the air, people concentrate on making their winter-worn minds and bodies healthy again.

Friday, b June IV/b . TRB A dozen years ago America hadn’t a doubt in the world. It walked buoyantly. It only wanted to show other nations how to do half so well. Then things began to crack. Oswald shot the president. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy died. Racial conflict worsened, Vietnam deepened, inflation widened. Lyndon Johnson abdicated; riots hit the 1968 Democratic convention. There was Kent State, Jackson State, civil disobedience, racial riots, invasion of Cambodia, marches on Washington, Senate rejection of two Supreme Court appointees; McGovern tripped on his vice presidential choice and only 56 percent bothered to vote in the Nixon “landslide.” More inflation . That just started it. Americans were almost artlessly self-confident, 1963. In that year some 85 percent said they to up were “proud” of their governmental and political institutions (contrasted to 46 percent in the United Kingdom and only 30 percent in Mexico!) Polls (1964-1970) show the erosion that followed; trust that the Federal government does right “most of the time” fell from 62 percent in 1964 to 47 percent in 1970; belief that government is pretty much run “by a few big interests” rose from 29 percent to 49 percent; that officials “don’t seem to know what they are doing” from 27 percent to 44 percent. But the public still believed, poignantly enough, that officials are honest; only 28 percent thought that “quite a lot” were crooked and it was hardly changed in 1970 at 31 percent. So then, after Spiro Agnew’s plea of nolo contendere to a crime count, in the midst of Watergate, Senator Muskie’s Subcommittee on Intergovernmental Operations in 1973 hired Louis Harris to do a poll, a kind of extension of the earlier surveys that had been made by the Survey Research Center. Harris gave hjs conclusions and reported, in alarm, “Any objective analysis of such results can only conclude that a crisis of the most serious magnitude now exists in the responses and assessment of the people to their government.” Everybody knew it but it was startling, nevertheless. Alienation, the poll said, took many forms. “The rich get richer and the poor get poorer,” jumped from 26/to 55 percent 74 percent believed that “special interests get more from government than the people do.” Did any institutions get majority support from the public? Yes, medicine, and the local trash collection. To sum it up, a total of 41 percent of those queried felt a change in the form of government was needed (including about 15 percent who wanted a “big change”) and all of this before Nixon quit and Vietnam collapsed. President Ford would have an easier time at NATO, and Kissinger with Gromyko at Vienna, if the mood back home were different. Americans are present self-doubt naturally optimists; the The media-created is probably historically unique. the and the refugees knee-jerk jingoistic flap over exultation over the Mayaguez affair (followed immediately by self-examination and new doubts) seem expressions of a kind of psychic slide that has ... ... developed for a dozen years. It will pass, we have no doubt, before long! But in the meantime, to massage the cynicism, papers report a huge new land fraud in bribery by political large-scale Florida, American-based multi-nationals in half a dozen countries, and FBI memos (supposedly uncovered by the Rockefeller Commission) supporting charges that the CIA plotted with the Mafia to kill Fidel Castro in 1961. Recession and unemployment continue. This long slide in American self-confidence has had profound effects on one governmental Congress. A huge class of freshman institution stormed into Washington in 1974, sent by angry voters who wanted a shake-up. Meanwhile, in the Sick Sixties, John Gardner set up his Common Cause that provided a vehicle for popular discontent. It found itself aligned with freshmen Congressmen. Ralph Nader’s organization came, too, doing the kind of things that, in other countries, disciplined political parties do. If people distrust government, they are likely to turn to this kind of quasi-political group. Nearly everybody agrees that a stronger Congress is needed to balance a stronger president. There is no question that Congress has tried to reassert itself and that in the last year or so it has tinkered boldly with a lot of the established mechanisms. These changes are widely referred to as “reforms,” though I think it is too early to make a final judgement on them. The weakness of Congress is simple. It has 535 members and little cohesion. Some kind of discipline is needed if they are going to stand up to the executive, as they should; they need the benefit of responsible political parties, and they need strong leaders. At present there is a vacuum of leadership in Congress, institutional and personal. Speaker Joe Cannon “a hard, narrow old Boeotian” was thrown out by a band of insurgents in 1910 led by George Norris, and a kind of feudal baronies developed. system of committee Ultimately a bipartisan coalition of conservatives took over. Round about 1958, reapportionment, Southern realignment and erosion of the farm bloc helped establish a national Democratic majority. The engine of change was the liberal Democratic Study — — Group. Now Congress is moving into some new phase of its checkered existence, the outlines of which are unclear. There is a sense of urgency for the freshmen know they are here on sufferance and that voters back home are angry. The Democratic majority is trying to recapture lost territory, watch the White House, reform its budget, diffuse committees, and set up alternative mechanisms of control which are already tripping over each other. Rarely have things been so fluid. Weakening the committee structure, without creating alternative authority, may ultimately enhance the President’s power. Democrats have revived the Caucus a former paper organization that met only once or twice a year. It is too early to estimate these changes. One thing seems plain; to balance the enlarged presidency; the controlling majority of Congress must somehow make a grant of power to somebody who speaks for it a group or an individual. Maybe it will be to the Speaker, maybe to a steering committee. Neither amiable Senator Mansfield nor Rep. Albert seem the type either to accept the sword or to use it. - — �c jtei • «*• * ■ A* ■« •; d-- Our Weekly Reader Conversations with Kennedy by Benjamin Norton W.W. Bradlee, & Co., Inc. (Hardcover, 251 pages) 12 years after the fatal November day In Dallas, the JFK mystique still has a romantic appeal for so many of us who have come to regard the former president as’ a modern folk hero. In Conversations With Kennedy, Benjamin Bradlee recounts his personal experiences with John Kennedy, and in doing so, offers a glimpse of "a president off duty, a president 'trying to relax, a president in search of personal contact otherwise denied him by the burdens and isolation of Nearly his lonely gffice." Ben Bradlee, now the executive editor of The Washington Post, was Washington Bureau Chief of Newsweek magazine when he and his wife Tony first met the Kennedys in 1958. Despite the natural conflicts that arose between Bradlee's dual role as friend and journalist, the two pen remained intimate friends and off-the-record confidants until Kennedy s assassination in 1963. Bradlee writes this book with all the he skill of a professional journalist than a chpses to be a reporter rather more reads commentator, arid the book like straight dirtrier-table conversation than an analysis of their contact. For one thing, no romantic impressipns. of Kennedy are Shattered in this record. Jf anything, the book tends towards the gossiPV rather than revealing anything,new "and exciting. ; The president’ still emerges as a fim-lovihg, active person who loved to inject * bit 6f humor into the most serious national crjeii- Although Jack and Jackie independent are described as "remote and people" who were "not normally demonstrative," they were very warm in theiT dealings with fafnily and friends. What we see is B picture of a "regular guy," who could be petty and vain at back times, who was afflicted with painful troubles, and who enjoyed the comforts of his afistdcratic upbringing. Bradlee obviously enjoys recording Kennedy's liberal Pse o£ pjrofBne language, as If the public should be really shocked that a ■ - ' ' ° « •*' ’ 4- „ . * „ president's deleted. expletives have been not . Perhaps the most interesting angle to the book, and a subject to which Bradlee constantly returns, is the press and the presidency. Kennedy genuinely liked reporters. He knew about the politics of each newspaper and magazine and was most adept at guessing the cover stories of Newsweek or-Time a week in advance. As Bradlee notes, "At any time during the Kennedy campaign, a reporter could get Larry O'Brien, Ken O'Donnell, Ted Sorensen, Bobby, all of them, often for a drink, always for a bull session. During the Nixon campaign, it took an all-day siege to get a few mintues with the men around Nixon, and they made reporters feel like c lepers during those few minutes." Bradlee admits many times that he felt privileged' both personally and professionally to be allowed a direct line of communication with the 'president; However, he, often alludes to his uncertainties about where the responsibility to journalism left off and the loyailities to friendship began. To illustrate 0 this conflict, he presents the dramatic example of The Washington Post reporter Richard Harwood, assigned to cover Robert Kennedy's presidential campaign in LA.; who decides to remove the dying Kennedy's crushed head from his lap and call in the story to his office. Stating that he never wrote less than he knew about Kennedy, filing the good with the bad, Bradlee admits that the information he received often "tended to put him (Kennedy! and his policies in a favorable light." But he adds. If I was had, so be it; I doubt I will ever be so close to a political figure again." In the cases where he trusted to his reporter's instincts by filing stories not so favorable to the president, he sometimes became the target of verbal abuse and even temporary social estrangement. But the bonds of friendship won out in the end and there was always a warm reconciliation. of ■, The book also contains a collection all taken album-type photos, almost t farpHy,; outing. during, some Kennedy-Bradlee to our These photos definitely appeal C u o Conversations o ©c ■t with Kennedy 'V BENJAMIN C a C.

In particular, guitarist Ed King, probably the most distinctive(tjvough underplayed) of the three,’ has left at the expense of their old texture. With only two guitarists, the obligatory harmony lines were held to a minimum and the old "wall of sound," resulting from three intertwining guitar parts, was missing. The set they played, consisting mostly of material from the last two albums, was somewhat repetitious and not quite as interesting as the old stuff. "Gimme Three Steps," “I Ain't the One" and "Free Bird" were the only songs they did from their superior first album and on these, the band sounded slightly sloppy and perhaps even bored. Not so funny Singer Ron wan Zant, although he still sings like he used to, is beginning to take on an obnoxious stage personality, spending a lot of time between songs drinking and spitting on the stage. At several points he remarked how nice it smelled in the theater and asked for the audience to throw a little something up for him. When several joints handed by his feet, he picked them up and tossed them aside, then proceeded to talk about how hard it is to score. In a few of the newer songs, van Zant attempts to deliver messages on valid social issues but often ends up delivering messages on the poor quality of his lyrics. If you can listen carefully enought to "Saturday Night Special," "On the Hunt" and "Needle and Spoon" to hear the words (about guns, groupies and junk, respectively), you'll see what I mean. Other predictable titles from the new album included - confederate flag from behind the stage did not help rriatters much. Probably the best of the new songs they did was J.J. Gale's "Call Me .the Breeze" which showcased' guitarist Gary Rossington and was preceded by a few words from van Zant on how nice Buffalo is ("It's,not like New York."). For the most part, however, the music was c unimaginative, repetitious, and loud, and the aHing sound system didn't make things any better. What ready surprised me, however, was the audience people reaction (or lack of it) were not rushing the stage or getting violent, despite the singer's urgings to tear the place down. "Are you sure you feel allright?" van Zant queried, “You look sick." Oh well, maybe tastes are improving after all. In. all the pre-concert publicity, it was stressed that Skynyrd would play a long show at least 90 minutes because they couldn't the last time they were here. I'm sure that they did play that long and I didn't have a watch with me, but it seemed like they left the stage after about an hour and came back to do two lengthy encores.

The trick is telling them apart. At its worst, the film includes a character like Tod played by William Atherton. He's a Pretty, Bright, Yale graduate of the 1930's period who goes to Hollywood to try his luck! Every word that falls from his mouth is so where he's meant to sound smart empty and "precious" and pithy that it's painful watching as he looks up at us from below his shiny eyebrows. The problem with Atherton's portrayal of Tod is that he reduces without expanding. That is, he takes the depth out of the character in order to become typical or "universal," and then forgets to add any peculiar. individual features so as to make the character an interest!ng-to-watch cartoon; that is, one who comments on the stereotypes Tod's the bright Artist-Yalie, and that comes across but he really should be more (and less) than that.

The personalities of the women he portrays develop from thin air as the music swirls around your mind. This thoroughly enjoyable and professional album shows his unique understanding and taste. This new album, just like Journey, leaves much to be desired. The faults are basically the same. Synthesizers, and moogs just don't fit in well with such heavy orchestration; when the two are heard simultaneously, it just doesn't cut it. Wakeman's playing is fantastic. Although some of the riffs are reminiscent of Journey and King Henry, his massive battery of piano, organ, melletron, and moog provides an arsenal of auditory ammunition. Still, there are some lapses in his interpretive playing which result in murky imagesi Basically, this involves one long stew of shifting moods and themes in which you really have to stretch your imagination. Each cut is professionally set up and potentially good. The only problem is that none of the cuts interpret what they allegedly portray. "Merlin the Magician" could easily be the new theme song of Bozo the Clown, while "Sir Lancelot and the Black Knight" serves as King Kong meets Godzilla. Everything is blown ludicrously out of proportion. The vocals can hardly be called a melodic offering, and the lyrics are just sick; By Wart the King of Merlin Struck foot most far before us His birds and beasts supply our feast And his feasts our glomus chorus. Even the.few instrumental sections fly wildly in different directions. In this LP, Wakeman's keyboards become his castle, the orchestra and chorus his kingdom, and this music his message.

This is a letterabout the dogs on our campus. First let me point out that I am a dog owner and love dogs very much. This is why I write this letter. There is now a new leash law in effect on our campus. I believe that this is a good law. This law should not be looked at as if it is taking the dog’s freedom away, but that it is for their safety. Many times I have seen dogs killed when walking unleashed with their owners. They all of a sudden dash out in front of a car. Also this would stop the dogs from running away when they see another dog running lose. I believe dog owners would want this. But my main question is why do people bring their dogs to school in the first place? I don’t believe it is done for the dog’s benefit. The dog would probably stay home and sleep and like it much more. I think people do it to look cool or maybe it has grown into a status symbol to bring your dog to school. Much like show and tell in grade school. Why not leave the dog at home where it is safe and happy instead of bringing it to this crazy place, which is confusing enough for people, much less a dog. If people are afraid to leave their dog home, then maybe the school should set up day care centers for them. Maybe this could be funded by the SA since they spend money on every other stupid thing. Let’s begin to think about the dog and its feelings; leave it home or on a leash instead of letting it run around and possibly getting killed or hurt. Guest Opinion, Editor’s Note: Lares Tresjan has been doing migrant farm labor since 1943. Living in Dunkirk, New York, she is among the 3000 migrants who work in the North Collins, Silver Creek and Dunkirk area. by Lares Tresjan - June is a lighthearted month for the leisured and propertied, and in the world of the arts But in the sunken underlying real world of savage and godforsaken rural New York, a land whose solitude parallels that of the Argentine pampa, it is a fateful and guilty month. Throughout the vineyards and tomato and strawberry fields of the agricultural Empire State June is a time of stress and nervous overexcitement. New York State imperialist having been lavishly cared for, strawberries coddled, weeded, hoed, coaxed to maturity; having been worried over, irrigated, splashed with chemical fertilizers, fungicides, weed-killers, insect-killers are fast ripening on the vine. Masses of workers made avid for exhausting men, women, children work by a long violent dark winter of and chronic moneylessness unemployment, starvation, will soon be on hands and knees in the wet fields harvesting the state’s multimillion-dollar strawberry crop. In the melancholy labor camps of Chautauqua County . . and Cattaragus and Genessee and Erie ... and Wayne and Steuben counties the leaking gas, exposed wiring, defective space heaters are again in readiness to receive this year’s tens of thousands of new occupants: the contingents of gaunt and spectral men aged before their time, as well as the young without youth; all of them conjured from their unhappy homeland in Puerto Rico or along the southern Atlantic seaboard by rumor of a season’s livelihood. The workers will pay rent for mournful accommodations in tractor sheds and broken-down - — — — — John Dickey P.S. If someone can tell me why they really bring their dog to school with them, I would be happy to hear it. Let the nauga hide . ... To the Editor. A friend of mine recently informed me of a situation which exists in the Northeastern United States which has received absolutely no press coverage so far. Hunters throughout this part of the country have been mercilessly killing the nauga, and this poor animal is on the verge of extinction. The reason most hunters want the nauga is that it has a very valuable hide. They sell the hide to manufacturers who use the nauga hide to make furniture, among other things. This has been going on for several years but the press refuses to cover it and the government refuses to enact legislation to save this endangered species. We must act now or it will be too late. Save the ,, buses. Again sorely present but invisible will be this year’s army of unsmiling children with shrunken bodies. Children who accomplish a 12-hour work day at wages of approximately four dollars are the mainstay of the strawberry harvest in Chautaugua County and vicinity. What is the matter with New York State strawberries? apart, that is, from the child labor army that sustains them and the wretched and guilty circumstances underpropping their cultivation and that harvest? What is the matter with them is an all-time captan. Captan, soused in they are favorite poison “defoliant” unloosed by the thousand-gallonsful in the wild and criminal war against the land and people of Vietnam needs to be regarded with extreme mistrust. One should regulate one’s intake of this toxicological agent. As if strawberries were the only surprise category of agromilitary small arms in the local arsenal! Commencing late in June and at intervals thereafter New York State tomatoes will undergo systematic drenching with carbaryl (sevin); the state’s apples, on the other hand, are treated to a 60% arsenic solution. Grapes, all varieties, are embalmed in deathly parathion. Pesticide (and herbicide) residues, it should be noted, are everlasting, irrespective of what the agrochemical industry argues. That the homely though monstrous CBW (Chemical and Biological Warfare) practiced against farm workers in New York State and neighboring states has thus far escaped attention or outcry should surprise no one. Nobody keeps body counts in Chautaugua County. Nobody is doing research into accidental fatalies in the fields of Genessee County; much less, fatalities provoked by exposure God help to pesticide (and herbicide) residues or us! concentrates of these. Unconcern and contempt for the lives of productive workers is more or less the essence of American free enterprise. ... - — ,, nauga! Tickets at Amherst To the Editor Paige Miller “Now that you i’re not selling so many, maybe you could I try making them better” I would like to comment on UB’s sale of tickets for Campus Activities. I lived in Ellicoft and several times my friends and I came over an hour before a movie only to find that it was sold out. Why can’t tickets be sold somewhere on the Amherst Campus also? 1 called the Norton Ticket Office for tickets to the Dance Reperatory production and I was told to hurry over because they were going fast and only a few were left. I had classes in Ellicott that day and by the time I would have gotten there, they would have been gone. What is this bullshit? Would it be such a big problem to open a ticket office, say by the Bookstore — a central place? Cindy Cooper No look at Attica To the Editor In regards to your article entitled, “Students across the state remain oblivious to the Attica situation,” students elsewhere are, in fact, ‘unaware and unconcerned.’ Being over 400 miles away from Buffalo, the local news media does not concern itself much (perhaps this is the problem) with Attica news. Outlook occasionally uses articles from the Liberation News Service. However, these articles lack a local foundation to generate interest in our staff reporting or the student populous. Outlook has its own problems, though. Our entire staff is graduating with not even apathetic students to replace it. Robert Fisch Former Advertising Manager, Outlook Rockland Community College At least a sticker To the Editor. I lived on a floor in EUicott with 12 guys, five of which are various types of engineers. Their condescending attitude towards the social sciences in terms of job possibilities and “difficulty” of their courses (both true, but not enough to justify in any way that sort of attitude) is obviously the policy of the University. This is shown by the fact that if you go to Norton bookstore, there are stickers for cars, etc. with UB all over them, which would be fine except for the fact that there also are stickers for the UB School of Engineering, Nursing, Dentistry, Law and Pharmacy. What kind of double standard is this? What the hell makes these departments so hot anyway? If there can’t be a Psychology sticker (with a picture of Freud or a padded cell) or an Anthropology sticker (with a bone or a bushman) or an Economics sticker (with a dollar bill or picture of Ford’s favorite economist, Alfred E. Newman) or a Philosophy sticker (with the motto, “What Is Truth?” emblazoned on the front) you’d think at least there could be a Social Science’s sticker that says, Kiss my feet, I’m a Social Scientist, or UB School of Social Sciences. Seriously, this is definitely a case of hypocracy in the First Degree. I mean, if we aren’t going to get a job, the very least the University could do is compensate by giving us a sticker, right?

Along with such backwaters as Tonga, Gambia, Yemen and Barbados, the U.S. still clings to the feet and pounds of the English system. Metrication is the process of converting to the metric system, which is based on a single measurement that is either multiplied or divided by powers of ten. When conversion comes, it will drastically affect the way things are measured in the U.S. Distances will be measured in kilometers, weights .in grams and kilograms, temperatures in degrees Celsius and so on. - Humane struggle Groups fight to eliminate zoos In some cases the unnatural environment has led by Paul Feroe to animal sterility. In order to maintain exhibits, zoos have had to import more Und more animals, a Special to The Spectrum (CPS) Armed with a pitchfork, a crowbar and a knife, an outraged zookeeper caged himself in the monkey house of a Brooklyn zoo, smashed windows the monkeys and shouted, “the baby hippo died are sick the vets don’t come nobody cares.” The 23-year-old zookeeper was protesting the treatment of the zoo’s animals. For his efforts, he was sent to the hospital for observation and the broken windows were replaced. Since their beginning in the 19th century as upper class menageries, zoos have been the delight of many, but also, according to animal humane groups, the death and destruction of many once-noble - - — — animals. Instead of seeing animals as they actually exist, humane groups have argued, visitors find bored and crazed beasts who are limited to pacing back and forth In small cages, pulling out their own hair or staring vacantly between the bars of their home. While some zoos, like the renowned San Diego zoo, have achieved optimum conditions, most city zoos lack the space necessary to recreate natural habitats and settle for cages or small pens that do not provide exercise space, freedom or privacy for animals. j Guinea pigs In addition tb such living''-conditions, many animals are eventually used for laboratory research, designed to become “animal models of human disease,” charges the New York-based United Action for Animals. Sometimes zoos themselves become testing grounds. In ah incident known as the “London Zoo Catastrophe” a colony of a hundred male baboons was transported to a rockwork enclosure called “Monkey Hill.” In order to study mating habits and behavior, females were introduced on the The results were disasterous. Fighting among the males for possession of the females resulted in brutal injuries and death. Over a five year period, 61 of the males were killed, 2,1 of th’e.30 females were killed and only one young baboon survived of the 15 bred on the island. i * FSA... —continued from page task increasingly difficult as park areas disappear and the remaining animals come under protection by law. Another importing problem has been that 75 percent of all wild animals destined for pet shops, nearly 24 million a research institutes and zoos arrive dead, according to the Fund for year Animals. And importing exotic animals, such as cheetahs, monkeys and lions for pet purposes was banned in February, 1974. — — , Breeding ground To help fill the demand for animals by zoos, the National Zoological Park plans to set up a special farm in Virginia, divided into 35-acre sections, that will recreate nattira) animal habitats in the hopes of stimulating animal reprodufction. “Unless we breed them in captivity,” says Theodore Reed, director of the National Zoological Park, “zoos won’t have them.” A major road block to zoo-improvement is cost. The Indianapolis Zoo, which acquired three giraffes for $21,000 in 1968, had to pay $22,000 for just one giraffe in 1974. Chicago’s Lincoln Zoo, which buys 100,000 pounds of horsemeat a year is now paying 58 cents a pound. Humane societies, however, have said that better zoos are not the answer. “Cbndrtiohs at most zoos are abominable,” said a spokeswoman for the United Action for Animals, “but we’re not working to improve them; we want to see zoos eliminated.” An alternative to eliminating zoos is what Roger Caras, an expert on zoological parks, calls the “Zoo of the Future.” At these animal centers,” visitors could watch satellite TV lions moving through the African via jungle, or listen to the electronically-amplified heartbeat of an insect. Present technology, Caras said, would allow for of game parks around the world and monitoring TV special zoos constructed to emphasize natural environments. The system Caras envisions would be operated in conjunction with such institutions as natural history museums and botanical gardens. 4— much so, he said, that a Food determined that there would be a Service employee stocking one of demand for it.” The plan would the machines inadvertently set off entitle the student to lunch three the alarm, summoning Campus times a week in Norton Hall’s Security.

Now, a number of American companies with international markets have begun measuring things metrically, and Congress may be close to using its constitutional power over weights and measures to mandate a conversion nationwide One of the surest signs of change can be seen in the education bill passed by Congress and signed into law last fall, which specifically states that the use of the metric system in the U5. is “inevitable” and will “become the dominant system of weights and measures.” The bill authorized $10 million to help “prepare students to use the metric system of measurement.” Contrary to popular belief, this is not something we will decide whether to do or not,” said Rep. J J. Pickle (D-Tex.), a metrication supporter. “The change is already taking place.” There are now seven bills before the House and Senate calling for a conversion to the metric system over a rough timetable of ten years. The principal legislation, offered by Sen. Claibom Pell (D—R.I.), calls for the establishment of a National Metric Conversion Board which would plan and oversee U.S. conversion. A similar bill was defeated last year because of problems over how to pay the conversion costs of tradesmen and small businessmen, but the Pell bill includes provisions for their compensation and passage in this Congress is deemed likely by observers. Okay, who’s first? Those working with the plans for metrication feel that the building industry will be the first to convert. Great Britain and Canada, two fairly recent additions to the metric fold, keyed the start of their conversion programs in this area. “The building industry touches on so many aspects of the economic life of the country,” noted Charles Mahaffey, a building technologist for the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) who is working closely with the probelm of metric conversion. “There’s hardly anything you can talk about in the whole U.S. economy that doesn’t somehow relate to building,” said Mr. Mahaffey. “Because of its great cross-sectional value, (those favoring metrication) think that if they can tackle this problem, they can handle anything.” ■ Canada has set January 1, 1978 as the start of its formal conyersion to metric in the building industry, and testimony on the Pell bill revealed that some experts think the U.S. can match that date, since the toughest bugs have already been worked out by Canada, Great Britain and Australia. “All we have to do is take their program, polish it up and stick it on our end,” said Mr. Mahaffey. of skill” (pinball devices machines). He said the new center is a response to student requests. FSA Comptroller Charles Balkin reported that difficulties Mastering metrics have been encountered obtaining For the average American, however, the difficulty has been in tax-exempt status for FSA-owned learning the new system. For example, in a survey of home economists land in the Town of Amherst.

It’s no secret that after last season’s 8-17 record, Buffalo’s basketball future had seemingly no other direction to go except upwards, but, the truth of the matter is that Hutt, Head Coach Leo Richardson and Bob Case, Buffalo’s other assistant coach, have spent Buffalo’s assistant coach has, neatly filed in his desk, four signed letters-of-intent from some of the top junior college players available. Buffalo-bound are the following student-athletes: 6 foot, 2 inch guard from George Cooper Nassau Community College in New York City. Cooper averaged 21 points per game and was a first team Junior College All Star Regional selection. Eric Spence Spence, a 6 foot, 7 inch jumping jack from Sheridan Wyoming Community College, helped lead his team to the national Junior College Playoffs in Hutchinson, Kansas. Eric hit for over 17 points a game and averaged more than 13 rebounds per contest during the regular season. Sam Robinson Another prize recruit, Robinson, a 6 foot, 6 inch foward from Niagara Community College averaged more than IS points a game in leading his team to a 27-7 record. Sam, an excellent shooter, was ranked third in the nation in field goal percentage (60 percent) a year ago. Wayne Boyd A much coveted athlete, Boyd, a 6 foot, 6 inch forward from St. John’s College in Kansas, was named to the first team All-Regional Junior College squad. Boyd scored 16 points and averaged over 12 rebounds per contest playing against a very high level of junior college competition. — — — — The stars return In addition to the four Ju-co transfers, Hutt and Richardson are counting on the return of virtually the entire starting line-up of a year ago. Co-captains Gary Domzalski and Otis Horne both return for their senior years, while 6 foot, 5 inch Jeff Baker, 6 foot, 6 inch Mike Jones and 6 foot, 7 inch Sam Pellom have gained that extra year of valuable experience. Hutt, in fact, is extremely enthusiastic about Pellom’s potential and rates him one of the budding stars in Eastern Collegiate Basketball. “Pellom’s going to be one of the best in the East,” Hutt predicts. “As just a freshman and he never played Center before Sam averaged over 11 points a game, was our leading rebounder, and blocked almost 100 shots. He’s an intimidator.” Overall, it appears that this year’s edition of the Basketball Bulls has improved itself in overall size, added some much needed depth, and, according to Hutt, “there is more stability at the guard position.” What Buffalo has been unable to do, however, is to recruit a “tree;” that is, bring in a 6 foot 10 inch center who can dominate a game as well as intimidate the opposition. “We don’t have a tree,” muses Hutt in reference to this year’s recruits, “but we sure got a pretty good bunch of saplings.” — — an inordinate number of 70-hour work weeks in an attempt to upgrade the level of this University’s varsity basketball program. And with the returns of Buffalo’s basketball brain trust pouring in, it appears that students will be pleasantly surprised with the quality of this autumn’s team. Surprises “We’re not going to beat UCLA,” cautions Hutt, “but we think we can be competitive on the major college level.” The reason for Hull’s guarded optimism is that He wasn’t really that well known on this campus despite the fact that he had spent more than 20 years of his life as a coach, teacher and faculty head of a major department at the State University at Buffalo. “Unobstrusive” seems about the best word to describe him. Yet, when a heart attack struck Physical Education Department Chairman Ed Muto this spring, a lot of people who seemed not to notice him when he was there, began to make note of his absence. I write this not in a disparaging sense at all because I have a great deal of respect for Ed Muto who is presently convalescing in his Williamsville home. I simply wish to note that it is to Muto’s credit that he was able to effect so much in so quiet and so unobstrusive a manner. Those who know Muto very well as quiet, likeable, characterize him competent and very patient. The “patient” label seems especially — .

Jim started the season at his natural position, behind the plate, but since that spot was overcrowded, ha moved to the outfield. .His bat got hot once the team came back up north, and he was an especially devastating hitter in the last ten games of the season. Mary's slugging percentage of .640 was also the best on the club, which finished a disappointing season at 14-22. Ed Muto for 15 years appropriate because (1956-1970) Ed Muto seemed quite content to coach the Buffalo freshman and junior-varsity basketball teams while most of the press ink and limelight went to Head Varsity Coach Leonard Serfustini. Even so, though Muto did his job The Spectrum Friday, 6 June 1975 . quietly, he did it well. His 15-year coaching record with freshman and junior varsity teams was a commendable 184 wins and only 91 losses, a winning percentage of .677. Evidently, patience had its reward. For after a 17-year apprenticeship, Muto was officially given the head basketball coaching job in 1970, when it became apparent that Dr. Serfustini would be unable to continue as head mentor. By the 1972-73 season, Muto had succeeded in remolding a fragmented team into a fundamentally cohesive unit. Thai year, Muto guided the basketball Bulls to a 16-8 record and narrowly missed a bid to the prestigious National Invitational Tournament in New York City. I enjoyed going to the Bulls home games during the 1972-73 basketball season. I had more than a few chuckles watching 5 foot, 6 inch Ed Muto standing toe-to-toe with his 6 foot, 5 inch players. But there was nothing comical about the way Muto ran the team. It was a tight ship all the way around. I think it was during that season that my respect for Coach Muto was magnified. I saw a coach relating to his players as adult men, and I saw the positive way his team responded to that approach. I know that, undoubtedly, along the way, there must have been players who did not personally like Ed Muto. But, I have yet to find an individual who did not respect the man. And so, when Coach Muto resigned as basketball coach following the highly-successful 1972-73, and assumed the full-time position of director of Men’s Physical Education, somehow in the great scheme of things, it seemed like the right thing to do. From what I understand, Ed Muto is slowly recovering and will be returning to the University in mid-autumn. If it is possible that the concern of a University community and the respect of his fellow peers can somehow facilitate a faster recovery, then Ed Muto will be back even sooner. �Canisius Griffins on NCAA probation CLASSIFIED AD INFORMATION Campus Editor THE OFFICE is located in 355 Norton Hall, SUNY/Buffalo, 3435 Main Street, Buffalo, New York 14214. —- The Canisius College basketball team was placed on two-year probation last Thursday by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The penalty will ban the Canisius Griffins from post-season tournament play and NCAA televised games, and will restrict the number of athletic scholarships the college can award per year. The NCAA has been investigating the Canisius basketball program since last September, and in its finding, cited 18 specific infractions, primarily dealing with unfair financial assistance to athletes and providing various benefits not available to other students. In citing the violations, the NCAA referred to player “positions” rather than names. Canisius College Director" of Athletics Daniel Starr indicated, however, that the two athletes in question were star forward Larry second-round draft choice in the professional draft last Thursday, and center Charley Jordan, who transferred to Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pa. The two were declared ineligible on the final day of the regular season because, Canisius officials said, they had received “improper financial aid.” Violations The NCAA charged that a student had received excessive financial assistance during the 1973-74 academic year. It was disclosed that the financial arrangements were made by former basketball coach John Morrison, former Athletic Director Jim Bedell, and their superior, Executive Vice President for Student Affairs George Martin. A student’s meals and lodgings were provided at a motel during September 1973, at college expense. At the time, the student in question was not enrolled, the NCAA charged. In September 1973, a student was provided with a round-trip air ticket to visit his family. During his visit, the student was also provided with expenses for room, board, and family entertainment, all at college expense. The following violations concerned Jordan: For about six weeks in the summer of 1973, a student was provided with room and board at Canisius while he was not enrolled. Mr. Morrison allegedly made the financial arrangements for the visit. —During August 1973, a student was reportedly permitted to charge gasoline for his personal use at the expense of the college. — THE STUDENT RATE for classified ads Is $1.25 for the first IS words, 5 cents each additional word.

Dr. Starr and other Canisius officials view the penalty as minor in some ways and significant in others. Although the Griffins will be excluded from post-season tournaments for two years, may not appear in televised games, and have “limited” recruitment powers, they have not appeared in a post-season tournament in ten years, have rarely been considered for television, and can still recruit as many as five players. Basketball Coach John McCarthy, who replaced Mr. Morrison last September, is presently recruiting players for next season. He has not signed anyone yet, which is unusual for this late in the year. Explaining the more serious nature of the penalty, Dr. Starr admitted that “this is a black mark on Canisius’ reputation, and I hope people put this in the perspective of a 100-year history and many decades of integrity.” ‘ ' , APARTMENT FOR RENT campus, AREA, walk to 3-bedroom flat, completely furnished. or No pets. 688-2378 837-5579.

This installment explores the prospects of a system*offaculty advisement. by Richard Korman Campus Editor Faculty advisement is being considered as one way of improving academic advisement at the University. But those who recommend such a system warn that it would require major changes, both in University policy and faculty attitudes, and would be far from a panacea for all advisement problems. Proponents stress that faculty advisement would provide an invaluable link between advisement and the academic departments, underscoring the specialized expertise that a centralized advisor cannot hope to offer. An upper division history major, for example, could receive better academic counseling from a professor who is active in the History Department. Undergraduate Dean Charles Ebert agrees with this analysis. In a lengthy report on advisement, Dr. Ebert says it is an illustion to expect such expertise at the general advisor level. “How can a non-professional person (non-mathematician, non-sociologist, etc.] really understand the nature of a profession and the constant changes which occur when even some faculty members are not aware,” he asks. Assignments did not work “We have tried, in the past when we had fewer programs and a smaller University, to assign programs to various advisers, hopefully in areas where the adviser was interested and also qualified. With few exceptions, this simply did not work.” Dr. Ebert has recommended that the present advisement system be changed to a triplicate system that would involve both DUE advisers and faculty members. Under his proposal, DUE would retain about eight advisers for centrally-located advisement. Another eight advisers with appropriate training and academic inclination would be spread among the different Faculties. Dr. Ebert envisions that these people would eventually become attached to the provost’s office, instead of operating out of DUE. A third kind of adviser would be faculty who would advise all declared majors, handling all problems and acting as a general resources person. Dr. Ebert feels these faculty members should play an active role in advising transfer students and freshman during summer orientation. Faculty reluctance One major drawback to a system of faculty advisement, however, could be the reluctance of faculty to become heavily involved in advisement. Faculty members, discouraged by the large, impersonal nature of the University, are inclined to concentrate on research and or the professional aspects of their jobs publishing rather than teaching, advisement, or student-oriented work. Faculty regard themselves as “givers of courses,” not “guiders of students,” and do not wish to be bothered with another burdensome chore, many observers claim. Consequently, they may demand that there be some sort of compensation for taking on this additional work. This could take the form of release time from teaching or increases in salary. Indeed, because of the growing strength of the United University Professionals (UUP), faculty members could conceivably seed to have this compensation negotiated into their contracts ahead of — — 18 November 1974 established on a high level University-wide basis, i.e., that it will have to be spelled out that it is expected that faculty members will actively accept advisement functions as part of a University service, Dr. Ebert stated in his report on advisement. But aside from a fear of regimentation, or being handed a list of students they will be compelled to advise, many faculty do not feel competent to do advisory work, according to George Hochfield, Chairman of the Faculty-Senate. This idea is supported by advisers who feel their job is much too complex to be handed over to faculty, who, despite a long list of academic accomplishments, may know little about advisement. What is there to prove that faculty members, simply because of their proximity to the departments, are any better versed in degree requirements or suitable major programs? some advisers ask. Many faculty know little time. Renegotiating contracts and formal compensation could involve the very sensitive and complex process of justifying such changes with the State Bureau of the Budget in Albany. If faculty are given release time, the University may have to ask Albany for additional staff lines. Lack of intimacy For those who feel University faculty are underworked and do not deserve compensation for students, the prospect of legislated faculty advisement is not a welcome one. Many believe faculty advisement is inherent in a professor's role within the University and should not be considered an extra burden. Although University faculty have traditionally engaged in informal student counseling, current trends toward large, multi-campus University centers have precluded the kind of intimacy and informal contact offered by smaller, private institutions. In settings more conducinve to one-to-one discussions with faculty, as opposed to this University’s crowded, anonymous lecture halls and classes where upper division classes may even exceed thirty students, informal academic advisement is a natural outgrowth of the friendship that develop between faculty and students with similar interests. In that type ooooooooooooooof institution, the traditional acceptance of informal faculty advisement is often reflected in tuition and faculty salaries. Faculty are expected to automatically advise students who approach them for help, and this is acknowledged as a University service. At this University and others like it, faculty advisement is not a universally accepted norm. Professors are required to post open office hours for every section they teach, but students take advantage of this opportunity infrequently. Many students will only visit their instructors to discuss poor grades, and this will often happen only if the professor returns a test or paper with a specific request to see the student. Formalization “One of the greatest obstacles to involving faculty members in advisement is that such a policy must be about their department, they claim and may also be incapable of providing the kinds of sensitive, supportive counseling that a beneral advisor has made a career out of. There is also the possibility that unwilling faculty may be forced to advise unwilling students. Tenure and promotion While there is no simple solution, the best answer may lie in shifting University priorities so that a faculty member’s role in advisement will count as much as research and teaching in tenure and promotion decisions. This idea is supported by Student Association (SA) Academic Affairs Coordinator Mark Humm. “Advisement should be recognized as part of their job,” Mr. Humm emphasized. “If working with students is a professor’s bag, then that’s what he ought to be given credit for. If a faculty member is not getting out the research, he isn’t necessarily of less value to the University.” Mr. Humm feels, however, that faculty advisers should have some background or receive some kind of technical training. But many observers are skeptical of the administration’s inclination or ability to shift tenure criteria to include advisement services. At the very least, such a change would require a major break with past policy which has underscored research and publication achievements.

Food Service claims plastic use is sanitary Food Service officials have denied charges by several students that “it is impossible to properly clean a plastic utensil.” Student theft of silverware is why we use plastic utensils instead of stainless steel, explained Tom Modica, Food Service area manager at the Governors Complex. If the next shipment of silverware is stolen, plastic utensils will have to be used all year, he said. Tom Boebel, manager of Norton Hall Food Service, said two types of plastic utensils are used. One type is very thin and inexpensive, and cannot be sanitized or re-used. A thicker type of plastic utensil may be run through a hot dishwasher without damage. Mr. Modica defended the use of plastic utensils, pointing out that the legality was confirmed by a representative of the Food Division of the Erie County Department of Health. If correctly stacked in the dishwasher, plastic utensils should come out clean, he added. Both Mr. Modica and Mr. Boebel noted that student theft of other Food Service equipment, such as trays and dishes, is every tray costs $4.85. The cost of replacing extremely costly stolen items detracts from Food Service’s ability to meet students j needs, Mr. Boebel said. — 'reshmen Bid placed for post office The Faculty-Student Association (FSA) has placed a bid with the United States Postal Service to set up small post offices on the Main Street and Amherst campuses. The actual site on the Amherst Campus has not yet been determined but FSA treasurer Ed Doty speculates that it would be located near the University Bookstore in the Ellicott Complex. The Main Street branch has already been tentatively scheduled for Norton Hall. Former location inconvenient The previous attempt at maintaining a post office on campus failed because its location in the basement of Hayes Hall was inconvenient for many students, serving only those with immediate access to that building. The post office was losing an average of $15,000 a year and was forced to close. The new sub-stations will provide regular post office services, including parcel post, registered mail, and the sale of stamps. The cost to set up the branch in Norton Hall should total no more than $2,000, Mr. Doty predicted. The post office staff will consist mainly of Bookstore personnel. Mr. Doty is optimistic about the success of this endeavor. “The larger amount of postal traffic may influence the U.S. Postal System to give us the sub-station without too much hassling,” he said. The Spectrum is published Mon- Facing bureaucratic, impersonal University Editor’s note: The following is the first of a series freshmen at the State University at Buffalo. of ar’icles about by Andrew Sacks Spectrum Staff Writer Depersonalization and having relatively few chances to be evaluated by their instructors were frequent complaints of freshmen in a recent survey taken by The Spectrum on the Main Street and Amherst campuses. The most frequent student complaint concerning academics focused on the impersonal nature of large lecture classes. “You can’t get to know your teachers,” one political science major said. “That was the way I used to operate in high school.” Other students seemed discouraged because “red tape” keeps them from getting their courses. “It’s not only the big things, like not getting your classes,” said one student, “it’s the little things, too, that add up you can’t get change or stamps or the washing machine breaks.” Although many freshmen questioned feel their college work is not qualitatively different than what they did in high school, most agree that the amount of work they now have is substantially greater, especially in the sciences. Several admitted having difficulty learning to work independently. “No one’s here to push me,” one said. “I’ve got no one to depend on.” - Tough to pace Other freshmen noted that the lack of short-term assignments in college makes it difficult to evenly distribute their work over the semester. “It’s tough to leam to pace yourself,” one freshman indicated. A lot of freshmen were surprised at the limited evaluation they have received in their classes. “I expected more ways to be evaluated,” said one pharmacy major, “but I’ve only had one test in each class so far.” This lack of evaluation puts more weight on each exam because one poor grade can have a significant effect. “In high school,” you could commented one freshman, “there were so many tests — —continued on page 4— Monday, 18 November -1-974 The Spectrum Page three . . �Uj U.W Alcoholic treatment identify the stage of alcoholism and determine treatment according to individual needs. This may take the form of group, or individual, psychotherapy. County The Erie Rehabilitation Center, formerly Terrace House, occupies a new facility at Elm and Sycafnore St. that serves as a center for homeless men. The center has a television room, 110 beds, and a fifteen-bed “sobering up” unit, a facility that gives the alcoholic an alternative to wandering the streets. Alcoholic volunteers The Center is unique in that it has no controlling mechanism. Freshmen .. The Center tries to reduce or eliminate dependency on alcohol and thus enable the individual to return to the community. But this process is often “a vicious cycle,” Mr. Robinson concedes. An individual often turns to alcohol such as signing in or out. The individual may stay for a day or a week, sober up, get a meal; or he may choose to become part of the residential program. The alcoholic then receives individualized vocational and rehabilitation counseling, and may live at the center while working on “the outside.” At present, there is no such facility for women. George Robinson, a vocational counselor at the center, explained that the program attempts to “identify the social, emotional and economic causes of alcoholism.” The alcoholic is often unable to cope with the combination of pressures from each of these areas. response to pressures from society, and upon rehabilitation, in he must return society in which he unable to function. the same was previously to Alcoholism in America is more than most people realize. The wide variety of treatment programs and the growing amount of research into causes indicates both the need for such programs and the magnitude of the problem. widespread International Student Committee presents International Food Tasting Wednesday, Nov. 20 at 8 pm Norton Hall Fillmore Room —continued from . . page 3— . blow one and get away wfth it.” Freshmen had varied reactions to their individual courses. One student said she liked all her courses, terming her Women’s Studies course “beautiful.” An engineering major called his department “probably the best in the state system,” while a med-tech major said her courses were “good” and her teachers “well-qualified.” Not all were so satisfied, however. A former science major was thinking of dropping out. “Chemistry was a big letdown for me,” he said. “I guess I just wasn’t up to it.” One disgruntled “thinking of pre-law” student complained that all his courses were bad, and added, “The teachers are ridiculous. I skip a lot of classes and find it hard to get motivated. My sociology course is a joke. It’s so bad everyone reads The Spectrum during lecture.” What, no parties? Most freshmen were not surprised at the amount of work expected of them, but some apparently did not expect that everyone would do the work. “I expected more partying and less studying,” one said. Others were surprised at the “competitive spirit” among students. Many felt, however, that they would succeed, and many appeared to support the academic system here. “Whatever you want, whatever you’re into is here,” said one freshman. Those who expressed dissatisfaction with academics tended to attribute their problems to their own weaknesses or “bad luck.” One girl, talking about her lack of success in her classes, said, “I try not to blame my teachers. It’s my own fault if I don’t do well.” Others cited personal confusion, and some believed they had simply picked the wrong teachers. Most freshmen, though, assumed that eventually they would solve their difficulties and sooner or later would be able to make the adjustment to college life. • Students; $1 non-students $150 available at Norton Ticket Office Sponsored by SA & GSA j presents Professor Thomas Gould Professor of Classics, Yale Univ Norton Hall Ellicott Complex ■ Are your studies getting you must be qL U) n?

Campus PLACE: J �Outside ing ..ANDHEHADA In k MANDATE M FROMM by Clem Colucci PEOPLE,. This is a peek into the future for the lowdown on the credit-hour controversy. “The Faculty-Senate approved Tuesday a compromise credit-hour plan after heated debate between proponents of the four-course load and the five-course three-credit system. The plan, which will take effect in September 1976, equates credit-hours to hours of faculty-student contact. A class that meets four hours a week would therefore earn four credits while a class meeting three hours would receive three.” The Spectrum, March 10, 1975 TRUST ME! A few years later, the academic love for'trivial research being what it is, the following thesis appeared: “The Contact-Credit Hour System: A Study of the Correlation Between Faculty-Student Contact and Learning" > w Dissertation submitted by S— D— to the Department of Higher Education, Faculty of Educational Studies, State University of New York at Buffalo, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, February, 1980. follows ate the most important excerpts.) The intention of this study is to determine what correlation, any, exists between the amount of faculty-student contact and (Editor's note: What “ . . . if student learning as determined by standard methods of learning Methodology). Findings in this area could measurement (see sec. II have significant implications for credit-granting policy . .” — . . . . After measuring the learning of hundreds of students, the conclusion is inescapable that the correlation between faculty-student contact and learning is decidedly negative in the main. Not only is there no positive increase in learning with increased exposure to faculty; by and large there is a measurable and significant decrease. Efforts to establish the variable that contribues to this phenomenon met without success. A number of students interviewed for this dissertation attributed the variation in learning to a concept we may was being unmeasurable term “teacher quality,” but this factor ruled out as unimportant . . (Editor's note: In non-acadentic English, this means increased exposure to boring teachers is detrimental to “ — — learning.) the negative . . . Class size as a variable that might explain correlation proved statistically insignificant. After surveying class size and plugging the numbers into the contact-learning correlation matrix (see figure 4-a) analysis shows a number of small classes exhibiting a negative correlation while a few large classes show neutral or positive correlation. This is partly consistent with studies by Bruuck and VanderSteen (43) showing that class size is not a determinate learning “ factor . . . . . POLICY IMPLICATIONS OF THE CONTACT-LEARNING Clearly, these findings mandate a turning of CORRELATION educational credit-granting policy on its head. Heretofore, educational policy-makers have granted academic credit for course work on the assumption, usually unstated, that greater credit should be given for greater educational experiences. Traditionally, it has been further assumed that faculty contact provides worthwhile educational experience. The first assumption is a value judgment, and, as such, has no place in this inquiry. If we proceed to accept that assumption and “ — examine the next in terms of this dissertation’s findings, it becomes obvious that institutions of higher education must revise their credit-granting policies. As this study shows, for the most part contact with faculty does not enhance the educational experience and, most often, is counterproductive thereto. What seems to be required, therefore, is a radical change of policy. “If we accept the variable-credit formula and base it, as we implicitly do, on the assumption that the educational value of a course should determine the credit given for it, the only logical course is to grant credit in inverse proportion to the amount of student-faculty contact. Hence, a course that meets five hours a week would receive, say, one credit, while a course meeting two hours a week would receive four. Even more credit should be given for independent study and, to carry the logic of these findings to their conclusion, the greatest amount of credit should be given to those students who don’t attend classes at all ...” The Spectrum Monday, 18 November 1974 Vol. 25, No. 37 Editor-In-Chief Even-handed judgement impossible To the Editor Your recent editorial, “Embracing Terrorism,” is typical of the one-sided manner in which Americans view the Arab-lsraeli situation in the Middle East. In this view, the Israelis are seen as the legitimate government, only trying to maintain their authority, while the Palestinians are the “terrorists.” The actual fact is that while the Palestinians have admittedly been guilty of some horrible atrocities, the Israelis were responsible for similar acts before they became “legitimate” in 1948. The history of Palestine in the 1940’s is replete with bombings and murders committed by such Zionist groups as the Irgun and the Stern gang. Yet today, Menachem Begin, the head of the Irgun, sits in the Knesset, the Israeli Parliament, as the respected leader of the opposition bloc. In 1947, terrorists set off bombs at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, British Military Headquarters, resulting in the deaths of ninety British soldiers. When the two Zionists who perpetrated this deed finally revealed their identity, in 1972, they were greeted as national heroes in Israel. So much for Israeli opposition to terrorism! You cannot legitimately condemn Palestinian terrorism while at the same time justifying it when carried out by Zionists. Equally specious is your argument that the PLO does not represent the Palestinians. What do you expect them to do, hold an election? They have no government apparatus, and their people are scattered throughout the Middle East. In such situations, it is to verify authority in the. traditional ballot box. The strongest proof of their leadership in the Palestinian community is the fact that no rival group has emerged to challenge them. True, the PLO itself is an Western manner at the umbrella organization, holding together groups with widely varying political belifs, but they are united in the goal of creating a Palestinian state, an objective which most Palestinians support. This letter is not a defense of terrorist tactics, but a plea to be even-handed in judging such actions. Before 1948, when the Zionists believed that their national survival was at stake, they were willing to use any and all means to preserve it. Now the Palestinians are in the same situation. For almost twenty years, from 1948 to 1967, they waited peacefully for their grievances to be redressed and for the world to recognize their right to exist as a nation. During that time, the Israelis became more arrogant and more adamant in their refusal to recognize that right. So in desperation, the Palestinians turned to terrorism, and it has at least put their case before the world. No one wants these acts to continue, but until the Israelis realize that the country belongs as much to the Palestinians as to them, no solution will be found. For centuries, the Jews were the people without a country who claimed that they needed their own land to preserve their national identity. Now it is the Palestinians who are the people without a country. They, no less than the Jews, need a land to call their own. Jack McTague Residents don’t care To the b.ditor This is written in reply to Mr. Peekler’s letter of Nov. 13th. From the parking situation he mentions, I imagine he lives on the Main St. campus, where the security force seems to be concentrated. First, to be slightly informative, there has been an evaluation of security for all three areas. Although the problems for each area are so different, the results reflect a similarity. Basically, the attitude of “how can a dorm be protected if the residents don’t give a shit?” How can security be effective with residents propping open doors so they won’t be inconvenienced by walking to the front door? How can an aide system work when residents refuse to show ID’s and let strangers in through unguarded doors because they “feel sorry for them?” And do you really believe security aides can prevent the entry of real thieves or do they just provide a little “psychological security?” No amount of security will be adequate unless the residents cooperate with that systen, any system! Would the key system work if all the residents were to give keys to all their “friends?” This is my 4th year in the dorms. The problem doesn’t seem to be inadequate security (although I’d be the first to admit that they are lacking, especially on the north campus). But what happened to the sense of dorm “community?” Why are the residents reluctant to report things that look suspicious; or to somewhat guard their own dorm? If the residents don’t care who will?? I get sick of hearing complaints and then those same people not helping to protect our dorms, our security. And what about getting off your asses to help work for a viable and effective security program? Or even make a suggestion. I’m trying . . . — are you??

Rubin Staff Writer Spectrum Most hockey coaches would be ecstatic if their team won a game by eleven goals, but Buffalo coach Ed Wright wasn’t grinning from ear to ear after last Wednesday’s 13—2 shellacing ofKent State. “Although we played adequately in spots, we’re still not playing as well as we should be,” Wright observed. The mediocre performance of the Bulls was still too much for the Clippers to handle. Kent State was totally frustrated in the first two periods with only 13 shots on goal, many of which were either stray passes or feeble attempts from far outside. Buffalo defensive lapses paved the way f6r both Kent State scores in the third period, but overall, the defense showed improvement. “The defense has started to settle down. They’re taking pride in stopping the other team from scoring,” Wright said. Double scorers Freshman Kurt Schoemann, playing for the flu-stricken Jack Kaminska, and Senior Ron Maracle each scored in the opening ten minutes of play on scrambles in front of the next. Six minutes later, a beautiful pass from the corner by defenseman Randy Cooper set up the first of two scores by Tom Haywood, and an unassisted goal by Mark Sylvester one minute later gave Buffalo a commanding 4-0 lead after the opening period. Among the Bulls five second period goals was a sparkling backhander by Rick Wolstenholme and an astounding one-man charge by Sylvester. Sylvester, one of five Bulls who scored twice, was robbed Of at least three other goals by Kent State goaltending. Wright made a surprise move by pulling goalie John Moore and inserting Tom Farkas in the nets for the final period. It was Farkas’ first appearance of the year. “We’re not concerned with the glory of a shutout. We have to be mentally and physically prepared for the big games,” Wright explained. Farkas was scheduled to start at goal last Saturday at Clarkson. Star Mike Klym was again held in check by Kent State, netting just one goal and one assist. However, he and his linemates, Wolstenholme and Bill Busch, got more points (8) than any other line. Klym’s co-captain, Doug Bowman, was also stopped, picking up just one assist while drawing two penalties. mherst Cam Governors after undefeated snowball fight by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer Like the Huns HEATH PARKING LOT, NORTH CAMPUS centuries before, a band of hearty Ellicottians laid siege to the Governor’s complex Friday night. Governors, already prepared for the snowball battle, held off the attackers. Governors scored an upset victory the previous night after the two armies met accidentally in the Heath. With the pride of Ellicott at stake, resident Leight Weber contacted Governor’s A1 Widman and demanded a rematch. A band of about 150 Ellicottians began their march toward Governors a few minutes before nine o’clock. Barbarian shouts such as “rape and plunder” and “Ellicott Bombaye” were heard throughout the march along with Weber’s shouts of “Wait, wait.” - Surprise Arriving a little early, they took about 100 Governorites by surprise and quickly forced them up the hill surrounding the complex. Among the early casualties were the Governors front line, including those manning the bus shelter. Slowly Ellicott advanced, pushing the beleaguered defenses into the tunnel between Roosevelt and Lehman. But the Governors defenses fortified, and the Ellicott forces, running out of ammunition, were forced to retreat. They returned to Ellicott battered and defeated, and casualties on both sides were limited. From the start, Ellicott’s attack was unorganized. There were no real leaders and no specific plan of attack to make use of their superior numbers. For instance, they split in two separate groups, one on the main road and the other through the parking lot. Their strategic mistake was twofold. First, advancing into the tunnel without adequate ammunition, and second, stationing their forces where the snow did not pack well. Shit snow The day’s blizzard had deposited over two feet of the white stuff on the Amherst Campus, but that didn’t necessarily mean good snowballs. “This stuff packs like shit,” one Ellicottian observed. One of his colleagues asserted that shit might have been better for the attack. The good packing snow was released but Governors got to it first due to their designated snow removers. (The snow removers cleared off the top level of soft snow so the throwers could get to the’ good packing stuff underneath.) Another problem encountered by both sides was identification. Jack Mydlo, snowball in hand, helped up a fallen soldier. “Hey are you Ellicott or Governors?” Mydlo asked the victim. When the reply was Governors, Mydlo placed the snowball squarely in his new friend’s face. Why was the battle so well attended? “What else is there to do?” explained Governors’ Steve Schneider. “Everyone’s stuck out here. There are no busses and the cars are snowed in,” he added. Many Ellicottians showed up intending to capture Governors while Schneider contended that the Governorites wanted to prove their previous night’s victory was not a fluke. Governors remains undefeated this season, with its next opponent Goodyear-Clement, which drew a bye this week. CLASSIFIED tTN body only. Room 355 Tues., Wed. or Thurs. 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Make offer.

Strikers rally passes two Attica proposals One hundred students participating in Monday’s student strike met in Norton Hall’s Fillmore Room to hear speakers from various campus groups and the presentation of two proposals for action. Pauline Lipman, parent of a child in the Day Care Center, spoke of the crisis stages that capitalism is currently undergoing and the protests against cut-backs in funding here and at other universities. These include the City University of New York (CUNY), MIT, Brandeis, Boston College and Brooklyn College. “The victory of the Indo-Chinese people against the most powerful, imperialistic nation shows what the people, when united, can do,” Ms. Lipman surmised. Oppression Bruce Solway, a representative of Attica Now, discussed tactics “in the battle against oppression.” Basically, they involve a “show of strength, then a backing up. This is taken as a sign of weakness by the oppressors,” Mr. Solway explained. He said the oppression carried out against the students here is similar to that brought against the Attica Brothers although there is a difference in degree. Liz Kennedy of the Women’s Studies College described the and struggles of oppressed peoples workers, women and students the need for unity among all groups. “The four demands are equal to general demands for control over one’s life,” she said, stating that faculty and staff members could be persecuted by Dr. Ketter as easily as eight students facing expulsion. “The struggle for a person’s control over his job is the same as the student’s struggles,” she said. “This can be used as a broad base for used — - building together.” Two proposals Barney Oursler from the Graduate Student Employees Union (GSEU) then presented two separate proposals for approval by thos in attendance. The first proposal includes a huge petition drive to obtain signatures from members of the University and community to refute Dr. Ketter’s claim that only a few hundred people are supporting the UB eight (formerly 10) and the Attica Brothers. The petitions will be gathered at 9:30 a.m. today, examined and discussed, and a delegation will deliver them to Dr. Ketter. The second proposal calls for students to meet at the fountain area behind Norton at 6:15 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and then proceed to Acheson Annex to picket the student show-cause hearings. This allegedly has the support of tsix of the eight defendants arrested two weeks ago who will have to go before the Committee on the Maintenance of Public Order.

Amherst (between Youngmann Expy. & Maple Rd:) Page two The Spectrum Wednesday, 7 May 1975 . . { Increased crime on campus spurs literature circulation by Howard Greenblatt Contributing Editor The Student Committee on Dormitory Security released statistics Monday showing that more crimes have been reported by residents of the Ellicott Complex than the Governor’s Residence Hall and Main Street Campus dormitories combined. According to the figures, compiled from incident reports submitted to Campus Security and Housing, 54.3 percent of all crimes reported between September and March occurred at Ellicott, 30 percent at Main Street and 15.7 percent at project from the Inter-Residence Council Advice The Committee also plans to talk with them students, individual of advising crime-prevention procedures, and what to do in the event of an actual crime. There are many ways in which dormitory crimes may be curtailed, Mr. Treglia said. As one preventative measure, students should lock their doors before they go to sleep, the Committee admises. Students should also be on guard against Governor’s. The fact-finding group, comprised of eight dormitory residents, also determined that more crimes (37.8 percent) occur between 6 p.m. and 1 a.m. than any other time of the day. “This is the time when many students are out of their rooms, visiting friends, with their doors unlocked,” said Steve Treglia, a spokesperson for the group. The time during which the least amount of crime is reported is between 8 a.m. and noon, which this year accounted for only 4.7 percent of reported crimes. Crimes will increase The Committee believes the statistics indicate that crime will increase significantly this year over last. Exactly 154 crimes of various sorts were reported last year. Although only 127 crimes were recorded this year, the figure does not include the crimes which were reported between March and May. A significant number of crimes occur during this three-month time period, according to the Committee. The Student Committee on Dormitory Security was formed following several meetings concerning crime prevention which were held in response to a sexual assault in Clement Hall last month. Among the Committee’s immediate objectives is to distribute a publication to incoming freshman and returning students with detailed observations and suggestions about crime in the dorms. The Committee hopes to get financial assistance for the suspicious looking individuals walking around the dorms, especially since trespassing is the most frequently reported violation. Mr. Treglia advises that students keep their doors locked while carrying their belongings out of the dorms at the end of the semester. Students frequently carry some of their belongings to the car and leave the rest in their rooms unattended. “A significant amount of theft may occur at that timei” | Mr. Treglia warned'/ H As a long term objective, the Committee hopes to establish an effective alternative security system. ,. �Student strike Student Assembly considers budgets of several groups by Laura Bartlett Contributing Editor The STudent Assembly, in a four and a half hour meeting Monday afternoon in the Fillmore Room, finished iiiitial consideration of the Finance Committee’s recommended budgets for next year. Several tabled idems must still be reconsidered. Monday’s marathon session was plagued by controversy, flaring tempers and restlessness. In the first order of business, PODER’s $14,000 allocation was tabled, although it had already A approved. been PODER spokesperson the requested claiming re-evaluation, that $14,000 will not be enough to adequately serve the Puerto-Rican student body.

Additional students, he said, will regular be entering under admissions. Unjust treatment Finance Committee spokesperson Michael Jones spoke against tabling, out the contending that “a good case can be made for cutting this budget.” Assembly member Sam Prince attacked Mr. Jones and the however, declaring treatment of special projects and special interest groups is very unjust,” and that “it’s the job of the Assembly to right the wrongs.” Committee that “its Finance Committee’s The recommended allocation for the clubs also academic were criticized.

It was brought up several other times during the meeting, and the matter will probably be considered before the the Assembly adjomed for semester. The $75 allocation for Circolo Italiano, a new club, was tabled immediately after one of its organizers advocated an increase. Italian large cited a She population in the Buffalo area, and the potential for a variety of social and cultural activities as reasons for the request. An attempt to table all the 28 Academic Club’s budgets failed, however. ‘Count-um-up’ Assembly Chairperson Art Lalonde became annoyed at this motion, and informed academic club members that unless the budgets were acted upon by the Assembly within two days, they would go to the Executive Committee. “Count ’urn gang two days!” he said. Mr. Lalonde said he was displeased at the prospect of holding the meetings even for the next two days. “How many of you are wiling to miss your exams or not study to come to this ridiculous thing?” he asked. Assembly Sylvia member Goldschmidt became incensed over the Assemblu’s attempts to cut the small clubs’ budgets. “This is an academic institution! The priority should be on these clubs!” she declared, charging that -the Assembly is composed largely of “special interest groups” who are concerned only with “their own baby.” discussion point, this At became especially heated, as the suspended rules were to - reconsider the $28,000 approved allocation for the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG). Steve Assembly {member his presenting in Milligram, motion to but the NYPIRG organization back to $18,00), said “everybody seems to be hurting for money except” certain special interest groups which he termed including “The Bug Four,” NYPIRG. He contended that the money could better de used elsewhere. Several NYPIRG spokespersons the organizations’ defended financial need and activities, insisting that $28,000 was “just enough to scrape along.” The cut to $18,000 was not approved, but Assembly member Bert Black’s proposal to but the NYPIRG budget to $20,000 was. NYP1RG member Marty Brooks became enraged, burling his chair across the room. In an emotional appeal to the Assembly, former NYPIRG director Richard Sokolow contended that if the cut stood, “thre will be no NYPIRG.” He state claimed that the organization of PIRGs would refuse to accept an organization with such a meager budget. After Mr. Sokolow finished speaking. Assembly member John Sullivan accused him of ignoring a request he had made for NYPIRG to lobby for a certain bill, which was going to be voted on at the time he allegedly gave the information to Mr. Sokolow. He accused Mr. Sokolow of showing up at an appointed lobbying place alone, two hours late. Mr. Sokolow became enraged, shouting “I’ve been slandered!” budget NYPIRG was The subsequently reconsidered, and raised to $25,000. The heated discussions continued as the remainder of the Academic Club budgets were considered. The Undergraduate Council of History Students’ for $500 allocation of “Bicentennial” activities was attacked by members of the Assembly. One noted that ranked students had the bicentennial celebration as their lowest priority in the student activity survey taekn early this year. Let them know However, a club member contended that the club wanted to “let the students know what were tabled. A co-op spokesperson requested the action until “legal difficulties” can be cleared up, whiile EOP members hope for an increase in their allocation. The budgets for the U.B. Vets and Gay Liberation were both approved. One Assembly member attacked the Gay Liberation allocation, claiming that because a number of the Group’s members and students grad are non-students, it should no be the of the responsibility undergraduate SA to fund them. Co-op Forum needed In reaction to the Assembly members’ giggles and comments about the club, Assembly member David Chavis called for an increase in the allocation, asserting that group is dedicated to the “dispelling the kind of ignorance that is being displayed here” through speakers and social activities. “They definitely need a forum for presenting their views,” he said. The $300 allocation was approved, as were the budgets of all the international clubs. A request by Iranian Club members to table their budget pending an increase was denied. At this point, several hours after the meeting began, members started drifting out of the Fillmore Room, including Mr. Chavis. Jokingly, a member called for reconsideration of CAC’s budget (Mr. Chavis is CAC’s director) to intice Mr. Chavis to return to the room. However, Mr. motion Lalonde took the the members, seriously, and laughing, approved it. After the joking subsided. Assembly member Abdul Wahaab moved to cut $3000 from the CAC publications line. The New World Orchestra, an “alternative the newspaper” to be funded under what the blacks Revolution were doing, what the Jews were doing. .” and intended to do so by sponsoring a variety of speakers. “In this way, we’ll be setting an example for the administration,” he said, labeling much its of Bicentennial publicity and observance “bullshit.” The budget was tabled this line, was attacked. The first vote was a 14-14 tie, at which point Mr. Lalonde called for a two minute recess. It was voted upon again and was 12 18. Assembly defeated member Bert Black then moved line out publications the completely, a total of $4200. At this point, Mr. Sullivan asserted that considering cuts in under these budget CAC’s circumstances was “the most assine thing I’ve ever seen this Assembly do. “I’ve been known to do some really happened furing — . for later consideration. All the Hobby Club budgets were passed untouched, except the Debate Club, whose $2,755 allocation was cut to $2,000. Assembly member John Burgess proposed the cut, claiming the club “was never funded at it’s level until Frank Jackalone was President of it” several years ago. The proposal was approved above the objections of several present club members present. The budgets of the EOP Student Association and Record — pretty assine things myself,” he admitted, “but this is incredible.” Mr. Lalonde pointed out that the original joker who had moved to reconsider the budget in the first place now regretted it. motion was Black’s Mr. defeated, and the Assembly adjorned when most of the members left the room.

Because of the large size of this University, “many white students don’t know what’s going on in respect to minority students,” Mr. Bassett explained. He said the Equal Opportunity Program (EOP) was created in response to student unrest in the 1960’s, to bring “a visible number of black students to the campuses.” The government believed the “natives were restless, so they started giving us money,” Mr. Bassett explained. Although the program was originally designed for inner-city blacks and Puerto Ricans, it is now 40 percent white, he noted, which he feels is an effort to “substitute black students for white students.” Additionally, Mr. Bassett feels that “a black student’s college degree is worth less than a white student’s,” and that blacks are considered “educated niggers.” Most black students are not in the “money making fields like physics, medicine or law,” Mr. Bassett indicated. This is not necessarily because of racism; it may be due to the poor high school background of many blacks, he continued. termed the recent Attica Mr. Bassett demonstrations “bullshit” because they “just don’t phase [President Robert] Ketter.” However, he said Dr. Ketter is not the “real enemy.” The people with all the money “run the show,” and “have produced an atmosphere of hate which has skillfully divided blacks and whites.” Mr. Bassett concluded the workshop by calling for black and white unity, instead of “playing right into their hands.” Wednesday, 7 May 1975 The Spectrum Page three . . �Out on the sreet: Cortland students fighting for rooms by Laura Bartlett Staff Writer More than 1,000 students at the State University College at Cortland (SUC) last week demonstrated an against administration decision that may force several hundred dormitory residents to seek off-campus housing next year.

(9.00 TICKETS AVAILABLE AT—- City. wquwd) UB/NORTON HALL ft TICKETRON OUTLETS �Questions raised about tax-free contributions Editor’s Note: The following article was researched by the Buffalo Committee for Chilean Democracy. A Buffalo pharmaceutical firm sent a letter to the Internal Revenue Service inquiring why the Buffalo Committee for Chilean Democracy has an account that is used to send tax deductable donations to Chilean refugess, The Spectrum has learned. The February 13 letter from the Mentholatum Company was obtained from the IRS by the Chilean Committee under the Freedom of Information Act. It is addressed to District Director of Internal Revenue Herbert Mosher. A copy was also sent to President Robert Ketter. In his letter, Mentholatum President George Hyde referred to recent events sponsored by the Chile Committee and indicated that his company was interested in the matter because it “recently made a substantial investment in Chile.” Mr. Hyde noted that he received circulars announcing a March 6 conference at the State .University at Buffalo, sponsored by the Chile Committee and other groups, “at which two well-known communists will be speaking at our state-owned University.” Association seen The three speakers were Orlando Letelier, former Chilean ambassador to the U.S. during the Allende administration, Edward Boorstein, former economist in the Central Bank of Chile and a representative from the North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA). “Obviously, we cannot control the politics that are presented at U.B. However, it is apparent that there is an overthrown by the Chilean military in a bloody coup September 1 1, 1973 with the help of the CIA. status bf donations was a fuzzy area in IRS Chilean committee association between this Committee and the communist group,” the letter states. The letter also cited another event sponsored by the Chile Committee, a Benefit Concert for Chile, in which contributions for refugee aid were advertised as “tax deductible.” In a telephone interview Monday, Mr. Hyde said the purpose of the letter was to focus attention on how the Chile Committee was sponsoring what appears to be a political meeting. “To me, this did not seem to be legitimate,” he said. Donations questioned Donations for humanitarian causes are usually eligible for tax- deductible status, but donations for political causes generally are not. The IRS could not be reached for comment. Mr. Hyde said he was uncertain if the money going for was political or humanitarian causes, and that he was “just bringing this to the attention of the IRS.” He recalled that he became interested in whether the money was going for political causes through a political cartoon which appeared on a Chile Committee circular he received in the mail. The cartoon depicted Chile being swallowed up by the military junta, he said. Mr. Hyde’s suggestion that the donations were being used for political causes “would not stand up for a minute” because the money was “clearly for the relief of refugees,” according to Rev. Thomas Stewart, pastor of the Westminster Church, to whom Mr. Hyde sent a copy of the letter. ‘Fuzzy area’ Rev. Stewart said the tax-deductible a lovin' glassful law, and that these laws had been used as intimidation in the past. “Like any American businessman who Chile, has financial interests in [Mentholatum] is more interested in having the present facist regime,” remain in power, Rev. Stewart asserted. According to Dun and Bradstreet, the Mentholatum Company is owned primarily by the Hyde family. Its securities are not listed on the open market. The company exports and various drug produces products, pharmaceuticals and ointments. known products Its best are Mentholatum, Mentholatum Medicated Stick and Mentholatum Deep Heating Rub. The parent company had sales of $7 million last year. The Mentholatum Company is also a holding company for several foreign subsidiaries. Although only 75 employees work in the Buffalo plant, the company has 1000 employees world-wide. Subsidiary One of the subsidiaries is Mentholatum Inter-American, which has various types of management facilities in Peru, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico and Chile. A spokesman from the Chile Committee said the letter “is an example of how U.S. corporations support the present military dictatorship in Chile. “The military regime has earned the repudiation of the entire world by its destruction of democracy and its routine torture and murder of political prisoners. The Chilean generals have guaranteed high like profits foreign investors, to Mentholatum, by banning all trade unions and drastically reducing the wages of company that has returned to Important ties Samuel Magavern, one of the Directors of Mentholatum, is also a director of Dow Corporation. A spokesman for the Chile Committee noted, “While the Mentholatum Company maintains its profitable relation in Chile, the military dictatorship continues to terrorize the population.” According to Newsweek, the “military government of General Augusto Pinochet Ugarte has made fear and torture almost a way of life in the government, including the large copper mines owned by Kennecott and Anaconda. a In retaliation, virtual economic was stranglehold placed on the constitutionally-elected Chilean government by the United States and the multilateral banks, promoting instability Chile.” was government another Chile. Dun and according Chemical, to Bradstreet. The Board of Directors of Mentholatum also have important ties to the Buffalo financial community. Mr. Magavern is a director of Liberty National Bank. Albert Hyde, Chairman of the Board of Mentholatum, is a director of the Bank of and the Buffalo Midland Capital workers.” Under the Allende administration in Chile, many industries were taken over by within the country. The Allende Real earnings drop After the coup, in which thousands of Chileans were massacred, the Chilean military returned factories to their former owners and paid Anaconda and Kennecott several hundred million dollars for the copper mines. Under wage controls, with strikes illegal and unions banned, real earnings of workers dropped about six percent, according to the April edition of Monthly Review. At the same time, the Chilean military welcomed foreign investments, and with real wages so low, corporations saw a chance for larger profits. According to Mr. Hyde’s letter, Mentholatum was one company that made a recent “substantial investment in Chile.” The big three auto makers are also considering investments in Chile. Although many auto workers are unemployed in the United States and unemployment in Buffalo has reached 15 percent, the auto makers are seeking larger profits from cheap Chilean labor.

Although the cooperative is now fully occupied, there will be vacancies in the summer and fall. There are presently 13 men and nine women in residence, but the cooperative hopes to attain a “balance of the sexes,” and encourages more women to inquire. The cooperative maintains a strict policy of non-discriminations, and residents of all races, creeds and national origin are welcome. The boarding of pets is not encouraged, however. Aside from occasional mild conflicts, the cooperative provides a cheerful residential atmosphere. As one cooperative dweller stated, “Everyone pulls his own weight around here, each person takes his or her turn at cooking or washing once a week and is content with the house’s rules and standards.” The cooperative has its own internal laws agreed upon by the boarders. Residents gather for a weekly group meeting to discuss internal business and a treasurer is appointed each month to handle all financial arrangements. “This way there is no hassle of putting up with authority,” one resident said. The house maintains close ties with Tolstoy and Women Studies College. Residents agree that in order to live successfully at the cooperative, one must become “emotionally involved” with the other residents. The residents admit, however, that a lack of privacy can sometimes be a problem, and that the initial is often adjustment period difficult. Wednesday, 7 May 1975 The Spectrum Page five . . �Criticism of PIRG funding commissioner of agriculture for the state. “Our only contest is that they use the university to help them build up a big war is rising chest.” on many campuses (CPS) Critics on some college campuses have zeroed in on Public Interest Research Groups (PIRG), labeling their funding processes unethical. The PIRG movement was founded and initially funded by Ralph Nader in Washington four years ago. Over 20 states have viable student PIRGs which are staffed by professionals and students with a student decision-making board. PIRGs have worked to uncover abuses affecting the elderly (hearing aid and drug prices), workers (job hazards), consumers (pollution, utility rates, fraud and credit abuses) and tenants. Most PIRGs are funded by a self-imposed student tax of $4 to $5 a year which is tacked onto the tuition sum. Any students unwilling to support their PIRG will receive a full tax refund, and if at any time more than 50 percent of the student body requests tax refunds, the contract is automatically annulled. The grey areas are whether PIRGs have a right to mandatorily tax the students first, then offer a refund, and whether universities should be allowed to act as PIRG’s dues collectors. The funding opponents are challenging PIRGs nationwide on various counts. of 'Missouri’s University student association does not support MPIRG because it claims there is wide student disinterest and contends the funding method is not truly voluntary. At Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, an anti-PIRG party has emerged which contends that many students are unaware of how to apply for a refund and have difficulty obtaining their money. The party has also charged that a number of signatures were obtained through pressure, and that PIRG has never been held up for approval by the entire student body. The PIRG petition issue has also raised a squabble at the University of Florida where the Vice President for Student Affairs charged, “the original petition isn’t valid anymore because it - * doesn’t represent the current student body.” He went on to express concern that other groups will want to establish themselves on campus through the same student funding system that PIRG plans to use. PIftGs have also faced pressure from outside interest groups. When Minnesota PIRG (MPIRG) went before the Board of Regents to renew its contract collect fees through the university, it faced hurdles set up by agricultural and chemical corporate interests opposed to MPIRG’s stand on stronger regulation of pesticides, The corporate interests questioned the university’s right to collect fees. “PIRGs shouldn’t be involved in public issues with funds from the universities,” said Ralph deputy Goodin, to • The PIRGs’ defense rests more on the need for student support than on a justification for their unique funding method. If the mandatory fee was eliminated “that would mean the end of MPIRG as we know it,” said director Bob Hudnut. PIRGs have claimed they educate the public and offer necessary and helpful services. The group’s greatest worth lies in its ability to influence decisions, said a spokesman for NYP1RG. LINGUISTICS “We have at our disposal the resources to gather the facts, have experts evaluate the situations and wield great influence on legislative efforts,” he said. And Nader himself piped up in support of PIRGs in a recent syndicated column. “College students have always been met with opposition when they try to assume adult citizen responsibilities,” said Nader. “They are told to confine themselves to their books and ‘get an education.’ It is as if ‘getting an education’ does not include studying society’s problems and testing their understanding in civic efforts.” • STUDENTS SPECIALIZING IN: American Studies, Anthropology, Classics, Computer Science, Education, Engineering, English, Mathematics, Modern Languages, the Sciences, Theatre and Law.

So here it is the quasi official Top Twelve most hated students on campus. The list was conceived by The Spectrum Sports Editor Bruce, Engel, who had visions of winning the grand prize, but was beaten out by Speaker’s Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow, who promptly leaked the news to the Buffalo Evening News making himself more hated than ever. Only Engel and The Spectrum Special Features Editor Clem Colucci had significant roles in drawing up the final rankings, although they received a lot of well thought out input. It should be noted that most of the winners that were contacted enjoyed the distinction. Indeed, it should be obvious from the list that one had to be bold enough to do something significant in order to incur people’s ire. We found that most people on the list thought they should be higher, and several that weren’t included who thought they should be. Apparently it is in to be hated. Here is the list with some explanations: — 1. Stan Morrow: The incredibly unpopular Speaker’s Bureau Chairman pissed off most of the Student Assembly and a lot of flic student body with his blunt stand on the William Kuiwler controversy. Stan also made few friends by contracting speakers like Ronald Reagan, Ronald Zeigler and Lois Lane. la. Leigb Weber: Because he is out of office, the former hated President of IRC is ineligible, but we felt we had to cite him anyway. Leigh began by contracting speakers like Ronald Regan, Ronald floor that wanted to buy dope with IRC funds. lb. Unfortunately, we don’t know who has been drawing those swastikas on the Amherst Campus. If we did, he would definitely head the list. 2. Bruce Engel: Throughout the year. The Spectrum's controversial Sports Editor has incurred the wrath of the Athletic Department, the athletes, the SA and the administration because his yellow journalism has been critical of everyone. Engelphobia reached its peak in February when a group of disgruntled athletes demanded and nearly got, his resignation. 3. Larry Williams: The outspoken President of the Black Student Union first made a najne for himself on the top of a table last spring. The Student Assembly, which was trying to meet at the time, didn’t appreciate it. 4. Warren Breisblatt: Almost forgotten but not gone, Warren is now a graduate student. He still has a lot of hate left over from undergraduate days as SARB Chairman as well as a long running feud with a certain campus newspaper. 5. Alan Rosenberg: Some SO students crowded in the hall outside Al’s room last November waiting for him to show his face. A chartered flight that was to have taken them home for Thanksgiving was cancelled. Rosenberg had booked the flight and they were out for his ass. 6. Mike Phillips; A Norton hack from way back, his defensive and abrasive fiscal policy, has won him few friends. 7. Rich Sokolow: The self-righteous NYPIRG director seems too altruistic to believe. Therefore no one does. Rich shows his true colors at budget time, when he stops carrying the burden of the world on his shoulders and accuses anyone who questions his budget line of being a shill for ITT. Mr. Sokolow recently achieved notoriety after accusing former SA hack Dave Saleh of using CIA funds to finance his best-selling novel The Joe Vetter Story. 8. Mitch Regenbogen: Known for puffing smoke in people’s faces and working his writers to the bone, The Spectrum Campus Editor is even disliked by his own mother, who was quoted as saying he is “a sick bastard.” 9. Larry Kraftowitz: Caught senselessly in the middle of every issue, The Spectrum Editor-in-Chief has inflamed both sides in every single instance. Numerous promises to print things that subsequently did not get printed have reduced his public image to a level lower than his private one. Turkey! 10. John Sullivan: The brawling, bruising, gossiping Irishman has displayed little tact in his political analyses and had few freinds outside of Clark Hall. 11. The Entire Attica Defense Committee: For lacking manners and dominating the SA Office, this group has established a stance that is difficult to be neutral on. Nonetheless, with finals breathing down our backs, very few people care. 12. Michele Smith: SA Presidents are hated be definition. Look for Michele to go up in the ratings quickly. now Honorable Mention: Sparky Alzamora, Bert Black, Dave Chavis, Clem Colucci, Bruce “Lumpa” Drucker, Judy Friedler, Frank Jackalone, Peter Jarzyna, Mike Jones, Paul Kade, Michael Stephen Levinson, Paige Miller, Sam Prince, Everyone from Plainview, Howard Schapiro and Jim and Judy Young. Michael O’Neill, who was originally in the top 12 was demoted to the ranks of the honorably mentioned after he edited this story. Mr. O’Neill is without a doubt, the sickest bastard in Buffalo. Furthermore, we hate anyone who has been foolish enough to take this drivel seriously. But the list is not a list of people we hate, but of those who in our judgment are hated most in the University community. The plain fact is that many of them are pretty nice people. One last thought- We notice the list has only one female, and she is twelfth. Obviously, we will be hated for sexism.

This is because all but a few refuse to become involved in progressive efforts; for" the overwhelming majority, there is no connection between their own lives and the policy-making that goes on behind closed doors at an educational institution. But any hopes for making a dent in University decision-making rest with the ability of student leaders to personalize important issues for large numbers of their constituents. The events surrounding the arrests of 10 students here are a good illustration of the obstacles facing those committed to change. When news first broke of President Robert Ketter's decision to remove the demonstrating students from Hayes Hall by force, many usually unconcerned students seemed genuinely outraged at the administration's rash and repressive tactics. The reasons for this break from apathetic stride were two-fold: in the first To the Editor. place, the administration's misunderstanding of the factors Before I express my violent disgust over the which cause and prevent such disruptions was so apparent conduct of the members of the SA and certain leftist that even the most callous individual could be genuinely groups on this campus concerning the Attica trials, 1 inflamed by what happened.

My objection, however, is to the fact that this University’s (God forbid) student leaders expect us to attempt to plead with, cajole, bribe, threaten, terrorize, and otherwise influence a jury. Do they really think that aught we say would affect a court decision? Should it? Would it not be the greatest injustice of all in the legal system if the courts were ruled by (pardon the expression, but barf) mobocracy? I realize that the aforementioned machiavellian groups would justify any action they take to sway others on the grounds that their point of view is “right.” In opposition to that, let me point out that the American Nazi Party or other inane white power organizations, who are equally convinced that they are God’s gift to the world of politics, could just as easily have been demonstrating Who (besides myself) would cry the loudest if their protests were heeded by the jury?

In reply, Ketter encircled the building with Campus dogs. Dr. Siggelkow warned the group that non-students failing to leave the gathering within 5 minutes would be subject to arrest and prosecution for criminal trespass, while students would risk expulsion from the University. In complete disregard of this statement, we were assaulted within 3 minutes by Campus Security officers. My friend and I, locked arm in arm, were dragged down the steps of Hayes and handcuffed to the chain fence outside. Meanwhile, Campus Security shattered a door-window inside the building, scattering shards of glass on unprotected students. In all, ten students were arrested, arraigned and suspended to face charges before the University Hearing Committee on the Maintenance of Public Order. In view of the many inaccuracies in the news coverage of the Friday incident, we ask any witnesses of our arrest, or our activities prior to arrest, who would be willing to testify at our hearings to please contact us at 252 Crescent Ave. (tel. 838-6132; 833-3750), or through Student Legal Aid (Norton 340; tel. 831-5275). Similarly, we urge that witnesses of the activities and arrest of any other students under suspension or potential expulsion also inform Legal Aid or the Student Association (Norton 205; tel. 831-5507). To blame ten individuals, in the few split seconds of their arbitrary arrest, for the violence authorized by the University administration, is to show a flagrant misconception of the purposes of student group assembly. In our opinion these actions indicate that this University administration is scarcely able to communicate with its student body at any level save that of bureaucracy or force. The Foreward to the rules of the Hearing Committee states; “A university is a community based on a shared commitment to reasoned discourse, constructive change, and a better society composed of better men and women. The central purpose of discipline within a university is to maintain and protect that commitment and not to enforce a criminal code.” Is 'that so? The University stands accused. Gary J. Gleba Alex van Oss �Use your mind To the Editor. After reading some of the letters to The Spectrum in Wednesday’s issue, it occurred to me that some members of the University community have accepted as fact several erroneous allegations. With regard to Mr. Saunders opinion, I should like to inform him that no (emphasis in triplicate) “ice pick” was ever found either on the accused person or in the vicinity of where the alleged “attack” was to have taken place. Furthermore, if he would look closely at the sequence of pictures taken by a member of the Ethos staff, and published in the same issue in which his letter appeared, he would notice several members of Campus Security placing extremities in very precarious positions, i.e., through a broken window. He might also notice that the broken glass was being propelled towards the students, a physical impossibility were the students to have initiated that violent incident. I greatly appreciate his support of the Attica defendants but implore him to get his facts straight before taking the reports of a conservative news journal at face value. In addition, has it been established that students “tore down the material of the Royal .?” Circus I have no such respect for the inane comments of Mr. Lo Vullo. His attitude I find deplorable, and worse, typical of the sentiments which allowed Ketter to exercise the irresponsible power that caused the abhorable violence on Friday a week ago. I do not know what it was in his upbringing that causes him to react so irrationally, but he does have my fullest sympathies in his pitiable plight. If he considers it “stupid” for autonomous people to express their dissatisfaction at a system of gross injustice, then I would like to know what his opinion is of the individuals who raised their voices nearly two centuries ago. Undoubtedly he accepts all of the propaganda handed to us by “our” administration and, on a higher level, government. He represents the m indless mass that corrupt elites delight in . — *' « flfllllln * . • manipulating. Finally, his seeming objection to violence is more than negated by his willingness to “bust heads,” and further by his addiction to one of the most violent “games” in our history. I challenge him to use his mind (a novel experience, no doubt), and find out for himself just what happened on the 13th of September in 1971. I fail to understand how he can talk about learning when it is obvious he is here only to be handed someone elses opinion erroneously tabled “truth.” Mike, for your sake and everyone elses, take your head out of the sand! • , William Ickes Less representation To the Editor. Concerning Bert Black’s Guest Opinion ( The Spectrum April 18). Bert, your argument that less representatives will result in more representation is pure trash, and judging by your statement “There will probably be more!!” I get the impression you know it’s trash. No matter how many exclamation points you use, you can’t deny the fact that the fewer the representatives, the less democractic the gov’t. It has always worked that way, and your new constitution won’t change that. Under the old constitution, anyone who wants to join the Assembly needs only forty signatures and they can vote. Simple and direct. Under the new constitution, onw would have to join a Task Force, from which he/she might get elected to vote in the Senate, provided the 45 seats aren’t already full. The old way, anyone could join the Assembly at any time. Not so under the new Constitution. Once those seats are taken, forget it. I know that I just don’t have the time to futz •with Task Forces and elections just to have my voice heard, and I doubt if many people here do. Therefore, the only people you’ll have in gov’t are those who have plenty of time to put into getting elected, and I’ve seen where those people are at. Let’s not fuck-up this student gov’t, by making it more efficient and less accessible. Elections have never yielded much representation in the past, so let’s not make our gov’t, totally dependent on them. Keep the Assembly democratic. Make more representatives, not less. , Kevin Crane Bert, if you can’t see anything wrong with a P.S. decrease in club and interest group representation, then maybe you shouldn’t be where you are. I wonder about people who solve their problems by taking away representation. - Don’t look now, but we seem to have done in another year. Which seems to happen with amazing regularity. It seems like just yesterday that I was welcoming in 1975 by breaking all the resolutions that I had made in the last dwindling hours of *74. But that seems to be the way of it. One never keeps up with everything or should that be anything? Time slips by with disruptive regularity and singluar stealth. It consistantly runs from us, taking us with it whether we would rather so, or no. Forgive my metaphysical pretentions. |1| ”C Ending frequently cause me to channel my anxiety into philosophical musings, Ul Ulim Which are, after all, certainly no harder to cope with than a speech by President Kissinger or by Steese Secretary Ford. (It being hard to tell who runs what these days, I decided to experiment a little. In this case reversing the titles doesn’t help much, even if it is realistic.) Which brings us to the first digression of the week. Realism. What is it, and how do you in the quarter to make the score 5—3 at the half, literature known as Science Fiction (notable was the absence of the great controversy of the past over what else to call the stuff besides Science Fiction). Organized and well-attended, it seemed all in all, to be an interesting and pleasurable experience. Samuel R. Delany, current Butler Chair of Anglish, and a leading light of the “less concerned with science than with writing least most of the time” school of S.F. assembled a goodly collection of bright and lucid people who seemed to find no need to died each other’s blood. All of same combined to make the series of panels on Saturday entertaining and exciting. The exciting part frequently had to do with reality for me. And if not Kenmore’s greater experience and knowledge of lacrosse as the decisive factor in the lately. Ever since I saw A Woman Under the Influence for example, 1 have been struggling to get my feet under one in a different kind of way. After seeing said film, I have been looking for something solid to stamp on. There is a scene, from the Tolkien trilogy which stays with me at times like e this. 1 am quite sure I have mentioned it here at some previous time when 1 was feeling disconnected. The scene involves, Gimle the Dwarf, stamping on the stones of Helm’s Deep and saying that there is good rock beneath his feet, that the country has tough bones. There is something very alove in that image for me. Some part of me finds great reality, subjective or otherwise, in the idea of having a solid place to put your feet, and it is very important that it be natural as opposed to man made. The Adirondacks, up near the St. Lawrence River, and many places in nothern Canada have such places where the bones of the land show through. As do so many wonderful places in the Rockies, American or Canadian, or along either the West Coast or the Maine coast but enough of travelogs. The point being that when parts of my head gets shaky, I remember places where I could stamp my feet on something — which stood without man’s help, or in spite of him, and somehow feel better. Scince Fiction for me is a place where authors can explore reality in a different way. Here we are able to find people and worlds which articulate someone else’s subjective reality, be it fear or wish. How owuld you see a world which had no rules? What would happen if we changed this “law” of nature, or that social convention? What is the slips by with disruptive regularity and singular stealth. It consistantly runs from us, freedom here to ramble, to explore, to enjoy that and for me, the relearning again Forgive my metaphysical pretentions. Endings frequently cause me to channel my - - - axiety I am not as smart as 1 would like to be. (Or as rich, thin, sexy or handsome but no matter). One of the ways this persistently manifests itself is in the lessons I must constantly relearn. My sense that much of our individual realities are subjective centers in the conepts of limits. The ways we choose to visualize and construct the limits we live by are obviously very diverse and complex. My version of reality sees many of them as being self-imposed, and at least somewhat accessible through struggle. The men and women who regularly try to write S.F. are engaged in struggling. A concept which would make most of them as self-conscious and wierd as it would me, if anyone were to say it to me. In some cognitive way, at the very least, they are pressing Samuel R. Delany, current Butler Chair of English, and a leading light of the “less well. An example used this weekend was a Robert Heinlien book in which he casually lets you know, three quarters of the way through the book, that the lead character is black. Which for some people is liable to make one wonder what it would be like to live in a world where such things really did matter that little. — We lived in a world where we are rewarded for learning the conventions of behavior, and frequently punished for violating them. This is a conditioning process which begins disturbingly early in most families. It goes on and on, through the educational and social system, attempting to implant “shoulds” and “oughts” so deeply that they will not be shaken by stress. Historically we called what the Chinese did to American you remember, the one Prisoners in Korea before Vietnam brain-washing. Stripped of its negative connotation it is not such a bad image. It implies the ability to decondition, to alter all the previous conditioning. Now if we could just figure out how to do it for ourselves, and very, very, selectively. There is something very alive in that image for me. Some part of me finds subjective realities attacked. It might pay to try to remember, whether you go or stay in fact, that the costs for having a different concept of reality are not usually as bad as implied. There is even the odd possibility barring doing serious physical damage to another human being, or harming big business that you might get away with it and even enjoy yourself. Little radicalism for the old parting shot, eh? Take care. - - — — Housing tinks To the Editor. We think it’s time dorm residents stop being exploited by Housing. Through its own discretion. Housing Maintenance can charge residents fines for such silly crimes as a window screen not being in place, even if it was out for one day while the student was washing his windows. Mind you, this is not a one dollar or two-dollar fine, but ten bucks. If the fine is not paid within a certain number of days, the bill is sent to Hayes A (Bursar’s office) where an additional five bucks is added in the process. It must then be paid along with the tuition bill or else grade reports and transcripts even the next semester’s registration, will be stopped. Even if the charges are unjustified and the student had his screen in the window, there is no way to prevent being charged. No one in the maintenance department will even discuss it. You can go to a janitor and he will send you to “Silly Val” who does nothing but giggle and offer ridiculous answers to your patient reasoning. Finally, if you can make any sense to her, she will send you to the next one up on the totem pole who ultimately refuses to talk to you “because he has been having too many complaints.” .,. . This is not the first time this has happened. Last semester, similar situations with lounge furniture in student rooms ($ 10 each item) and the great “screen scheme” was pulled off by Housing. We have not been singled out, in fact, this is about 60 people a shot. Sixty times ten dollars is $600. 1 wonder if some of this money might not be ending up in someone’s pocket? Housing used to at least give a warning to students and allow 24 hours to change whatever they were harping about, but recently they seem to prefer the “surprize method” (maybe because it brings in more money). If there is anyone reading this who has the authority to look into this matter, we ask that you do it because just today we got another note from “Val and her gang” that they will be conducting another thorough search through the dorm rooms in hopes of ripping off some more cash from students beginning April 28.

Since the time is arriving for a new Speakers Bureau Chairman to take office, I felt compelled to share a few thoughts with your readers. I would like to give my thanks and appreciation to all those that have expressed an interest in the program this year. It is with great admiration that I view those who commented so healthfully on the controversial programs of William Schockley, Ronald Regan, Ronald Ziegler and Lois “irrelevant” Lane. As a “sexist,” “elitist,” “racist,” and “fascist” I leave office with a great fulfillment knowing that various groups have fought so avidly and kept this University in an appropriate political scene and balance. by Ricky Yaverbaum When campus violence became a reality again two weeks ago in Hayes Hall, students had a first hand look at the governmental oppression that constantly erodes our civil liberties. The forceful Hall of students removal from Hayes demonstrating for the right to control their own the funds was another example how administration stifles those who make ‘waves’ here on campus, and would serve as a warning to those who might contemplate similar acts in the future. The subsequent suspension of the 10 students arrested shows President Robert Ketter’s desire to see the student movement at the University die of asphyxiation, or a lack of participation due to fear. He thinks the hard line against campus unrest will quell the sentiments of students. In reality. Dr. Ketter may have tightened the clamps on a pressure cooker. Campus Security’s mistruths about an alleged stabbing, the brute force of the arrests the and the ensuing suspensions were administration’s reaction to a concerned and politically active student body. In this University, we study the American self-expression. ideals of freedom and Unfortunately, when we leave the classroom we find that those designated to teach us these values are their biggest corruptors. Because of this, our rights seem to have become mere words on paper. The many American’s rights are now almost non-existent. Those the government labels undesirables have no rights at all. Files are kept, phones are tapped, friends are questioned. Entire lifestyles come under government scrutiny. These undesirables are persecuted at all costs, and the government covers up under the blanket of National Security. Political retribution against undesirables is a common phenomena in most nations, and the U.S. is no exception. Vice President Nelson Rockefeller has just as much to protect as Russian Communist Party Chief Leonid Brezhnev, if not more. At Attica, Mr. Rockefeller had no regard for the inmates’ lives. According to his view, these people were in prison for a reaon. They were animals who could not live in our society, the society that made Rockefeller a billionaire and tomorrow. Stan Morrow Chairman, Speakers Bureau Interdependence essential To the Editor. The following information, given to us by one of our staff, should be of interest to students and — faculty at this University. On April 29, Governor Carey rejected the 6 percent raise for civil service workers recommended by his fact-finding board. At the same time, he approved a $15,000 raise for Lieut. Gov. Mary Ann Krupsak the same raise, incidentally, Mr. Krupsak had promised during her campaign to reject if — elected. The irony underscores the serious situation of service workers, including staff in this University. A Grade three typist makes under $6,000 a year, for example, and it takes a Grade nine Senior Stenographer about nine years to reach the $9,500 level. The majority of State workers are in positions grade nine or under, all earning less than $10,000. While Ms. Krupsak enjoys her great salary increase. University staff are denied even a small part of the cost of living increases needed to move back into the economic world of the living. University and Faculty students should recognize the degree to which their interests, the University’s well being, and elemental equity for staff workers are all mutually dependent. We join out staff in urging all concerned to support CSEA and to write in protest to Governor Carey and to Mary Ann Krupsak. civil Michael Frisch A cling Director for the American Studies Program the inmates welfare recipients. These people were sub-humans who had no legitimate claim to existence. Why should they have any rights? The bloodbath at Attica was a perfect illustration that they had no rights. The blame for all the death and blood at Attica was put on the inmates who didn’t get killed in the massacre at D-yard. Today, the persecution of these men continues in the Erie County Courthouse disguised as a legitimate, judicial proceeding. Actually, it is a vendetta against those who stood up for their basic rights as human beings. As economic conditions in the U.S. continue to go from bad to worse, we can expect this same oppression, only in larger doses. As more people are discontented, out of work and hungry, the government will face greater political opposition. It is certain that they will become tougher on dissident groups, and take a dimmer view of political activism. This trend is beginning; it is more apparent now in Buffalo. The FBI infiltration of the Attica defense, the railroading of Attica inmates, the violent handling of student dissention and the resultant paranoia among students are prime examples of government attempts at political and social control. The paranoia among students is shown by the unwillingness of demonstrators to be photographed by unidentified camera men. When citizens are afraid to be identified with a specific cause for fear of government reprisals, a crisis point has been reached. The growing fear of the government is justified. Students have seen the reprisals the government has brought upon the Attica Brothers. The arrests and suspensions of students are reprisals for campus political activism. Students must not be intimidated it’s time to stand up. We, here at the University, have seen these vicious attacks on the rights of all people. We watched our fellow students be dragged away and expelled for strong personal beliefs, and we watched Charlie Joe, and Dacajeweiah go to jail to pay for the crimes of others. We may watch many others go to jail before it’s all over. If this struggle wakes us up to what’s going on here in America, and moves us to stem the tide of growing governmental oppression, many people who won’t join us today, may thank us - - UUAB LITERARY ARTS announces J ----- BUSINESS MANAGER Available at: University Bookstore North Buffalo Food Co-op Everyones Bookstore The Spectrum j$ seeking applications for the position of Business Manager, for the 75/76 school year.

We have been reading The Spectrum throughout our UB years and would like to say we consider the front page of that issue the most creative yet.. Congratulations to Joel Reichard, his picture has no RIVAL. Chris Robinson Tom Robson Letter to Ketter Editor’s Note: The following letter was University President Robert Ketter. sent to In addition to the other issues that are facing the entire campus community, we would like to bring to your attention, another matter that should be of primary concern. We refer to the subject of tenure and promotion, and specifically, the recent decision you made, denying it to an assistant professor of the math department, Dr. Scott Williams. One of the main objectives of a school should be to provide an atmosphere where both learning and questioning are encouraged. Dr. Williams has conducted his courses and relationships with students in such a manner. Disregarding such a situation in the process of decision making results in preventing to its fullest potential. We would, therefore, like you to reconsider the decision you made denying tenure and promotion to Dr. Williams, in order that students may benefit from the education they attend a school to receive. Thank you for your consideration. I am appalled at the complete lack of critical abilities displayed by both editors, writers and contributors to The Spectrum. Indeed I am confronted by a general naive tone with full disonant orchestration every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I shall offer a few examples. Has it ever occurred to the person who complained about the non-enforcement of classroom smoking (April 16) that the law of which he demanded police enforcement is or could be used as an easy cover for police surveillance and entrapment of students? Did the head resident of Schoellkopf Hall, in demanding a hike in Ellicott dorm rents, realize that what he’s doing is playing the same tired game of making students compete amongst themselves instead of venting demands for free tuition, free room and decent living quarters, decreases in class size, etc. to the State which is the entity ripping us off?

Do your writers realize that sexism isn’t an issue that exists to be the butt of bowgie jokes and epithets? The roots of sex oppression are economic and cultural and are not over gymnasium use; that a state-administered Affirmative Action program is a design to fail? Is the slogan “Attica is all of us” just a slogan? Fred Friedman Red Balloon Collective Ketter like Attica To the Editor Students decided to sit-in in Hayes last Friday, to assert their right to determine where there own funds should be spent. The Ketter administration has usurpted those powers and refused to negotiate with us on any decent level. Ketter has refused to speak with the people and he still does. He is constatnly intimidating us and spreading untruths regarding our legitimate actions. In regards to the statement by Mr. Korman (Monday, The Spectrum ) that the students were “intensyfying their theatrics . . for film crews . . . while nervously waiting because of security guards with nightclubs and attack dogs,” how could anyone possibly expect people to perform theatrics in such a tense situation. Rather, as a member of that group may 1 inform everyone that it was a show of unity and strength. Ketter wanted to speak to five or six representatives. But the students had already been mislead enough and they did not want to be intimidated in close quarters where Ketter would have had all bargaining power to his advantage. The only way to keep what little room for bargaining which we kept by blocking the doorway, we had to stay, just as the Brothers had to take hostages in 1971 there was no alternative. Concerning Campus Security: they say that students broke the glass or they themselves did it but the students who were in front of accidentally the door were sitting down when nightsticks, elbows and arms of security officers bashed the glass all over the hallway, cutting some of the demonstrators. .

If free thought is to prevail in this University and society, then there is no room to allow public servants to distort fhe facts, as if the case here. They are the same type of malicious lies which first came out of Attica in 1971 (guards throats were slit, they were castrated, etc.) all later disproven on the backpages, whereas the sensationist lies got headlines and an impact which leaves 63 percent of the people in Western New York still believing them. Ketter has stated that acted Security “admirably” during Friday’s action. Rockefeller also congratualted his troopers on their “restraint” of force after they killed 40 and brutalized hundreds of inmates (McKay Commission Report on Attica). He also said that the April 2nd demonstration did not turn out to be educational. But the students who were there learned a frightening lesson our constitutional rights mean nothing when a judge decides to deny us our demonstration permit and to arrest peaceful demonstrators. The injustices perpetrated on the students in Hayes Hall by the Ketter administration goes on and on and is potentially dangerous to all students. It is • time that people start to do some “soul searching” and really look earnestly into the facts of the matter at hand it would be the greatest justice that people would do to those involved and themselves. The stand that the Attica Brothers took in 1971 and the Stand that the UB students took last Friday was for all of our rights.

They leave him just enough food to R&P researcher In fact, according to R&P data, maintenance is the income number one problem facing senior citizens in Buffalo.

These problems are not easy to measure, though, and vary from one community to another. — — Page twelve The Spectrum Wednesday, 7 May 1975 . . Naming restaurants Trying to find something that might be familiar to her, I named all the restaurants and stores on Main Street in the area. She said the Red Barn sounded familiar. I started walking her in that the direction, that hoping apartments Court University would look familiar. As we passed them, I asked if she lived there. “It looks like the place we stayed at in California,” she said. “Are you sure you don’t live here?” “We stayed here once. But the people living here now wouldn’t know me.” I took her up to the Red Barn, and asked her if it looked familiar. “Oh, there must be more than one Red Barn,” she said. I took her into Your Host, sat her down at a booth under the sign, “No loitering 15 minutes after meal is completed,” and again asked her for the names of some people to look up in the phone book. “Oh, I can’t think. Isn’t that funny,” she said. But was able to tell me her own name. “How did you get to the Plaza?” 1 asked. “Mother drove me this afternoon and left me there. I bought these things for them to eat a lunch before they leave tomorrow,” she said, pointing to her grocery bag. “1 shouldn’t have gone out. These things happen when you try to do things for someone else. What town are we in?” Problem of loneliness “Loneliness is a big problem in this area,” said one social worker in the University district. Like other problems, loneliness can lead to a broader range of difficulties. For two people who have lived together all their lives, the death of one spouse can make the other helpless. An elderly widow, bred during an era of more conservative sex codes, may not know how to cash a check or repair things at home. Several weeks ago, a gaunt woman in her seventies was found around University wandering Plaza shortly after 9 p.m. “Where is Main Street?” she asked. She was carrying a bag of groceries that she had just purchased at A&P. “You’re on Main Street,” I said. “Where on Main Street did you want to go?” “I don’t know,” she said, and began to walk into the stream of traffic. Stopping her, I asked if there was anywhere I could take her. “I don’t know,” she said. “They will be so worried about me. “Who will be worried?” I asked, in the hope that she would name people I could look up in a Buffalo phone book and bring her to. “Buffalo. Do »yoa have “The people I’m staying with. I anything in your wallet mat might just came from New York three have your address on it?” ' remain alive until they can get far enough away so they will not see him die. In more developed areas of the United States, where institutions are condemned for their poor treatment of their clients, senior citizens are sent to nursing homes. But nursing homes may be losing patients; scandals about their living conditions in these homes have scared many away. This has the inspired of development community-centered efforts to assist the elderly. These services which emphasize community responsibility for the elderly are usually at a cost the senior citizen on a fixed income can afford, or are free. Senior citizens comprise a large of the portion poverty population. According to statistics from the Research and Planning Council (R&P) in Buffalo, 25 percent of the city’s senior citizens live below the poverty level, while 25 percent live at the poverty level. “This means that 50 percent of senior citizens live at the level of survival,” said one weeks ago. If it wasn’t so dark I would know where I was going.” “Oh, the last time I got lost, I told myself to keep a piece of paper with my address on it. But I forgot to do it.” I asked to see her wallet anyway. She pulled it out and leafed through some cards that only had her name on them. She passed a piece of paper with her name and address on it. “Look, Edna, here is your address,” I said, pulling the piece of paper out of the laminated seal. There were other names and telephone numbers on the paper. One name had “social worker” written under it. “I wish I remembered to put that piece of paper in my wallet,” she remarked. “This is it!” 1 shouted to her. “Oh, I don’t hear so well since my accident. I don’t want Mother to know 1 don’t hear so well.” “Edna, look! Your address,” I screamed, waving the paper in front of her. She had become hopelessly deaf and blind, so I telephoned the social worker. There was no answer there, or at any of the other numbers on her paper, except for one. “Yes, we know Edna. Yes, that’s her address. She lives alone. She’s always getting lost, we don’t want to have anything to do with her. CLICK.” Just then, Edna pulled keys from her purse. “These are the keys to my house in California,” she said. “Come, Edna, I’ll take you home,” I said. The address on her paper was, after all, the University Court apartments, and the “California” keys fit the door. Home, at last Once in her apartment, she took off her coat and said, “Yes, it looks just like it did when we stayed here. They brought the furniture last week.” There were copies of the Buffalo Evening News on her couch with current dates on them. A note was left on her bed upon which was scrawled, “Gone out to buy a few things. Be back in 10 minutes.” Next to her telephone was a big plaque that had the name of a doctor and a telephone number. I called the number, but Dr. Borden was a dentist and said he didn’t know Edna. Edna had taken off her shoes and was watering her plants. The apartment looked very well kept. I tried calling the social worker once more, and was successful. But the social worker said that she had no client named Edna. Unsure of what to do, 1 began to recount to the social worker how I found her at the plaza. “Oh, Edna!” she remembered. “I found her a year ago wandering around the plaza. I drove her home, and didn’t feel she was fit to live by herself, so 1 called her daughter. The number was in her wallet. Her daughter said she didn’t want to have anything to do with her.” The social worker felt Edna should be put into a home, but told me this would be illegal without her daughter’s consent. Lost in loneliness When I left Edna’s apartment, she said, “I’m so sad you’re leaving.” Edna’s other problems mainly her cohfusion and her wandering at night seem to stem from her loneliness. Edna was referred to the University Heights Community Development - - Association (UHCDA). UHCDA can offer her several companion services in her own community. volunteer from the A Telephone Assurance Program (TAP) can call her daily at an appointed time to check on her well-being and provide friendly conversation. The volunteers are usually senior citizens themselves. Through Community Action Corps (CAC), Edna can receive a visit from a companion for two to three hours a week. In addition to providing companionship, volunteers run light errands for many shut-ins, and generally improve an elderly person’s sorry existence. Edna can also receive a weekly visit from a volunteer companion through VISTEC (Volunteers in Service to Erie County) to get help shopping and housecleaning, or traveling to clinics or hospitals. Volunteers can plso pay her a friendly visit.

Because they are trusting and lonely and want to befriend almost anyone they meet, many senior citizens are taken advantage of. Sara, Claire and Essie are sisters living together in a house in University Heights. Several weeks ago, their doorbell rang the first time it rang unexpectedly in two months. A young dapper looking man in a blue flannel suit with a clean and friendly smile stood at the door. He showed them his card, explained that he was an insurance salesman, and they let him in. The women were quickly taken by his warm personality, and invited him to have some home baked spice cake with tea. The salesman then said he would get to the point he wanted to sell them an insurance policy at a SO percent reduction that people over 70 were entitled to. All three sisters qualified. This insurance would presumably pay $6,0000 to their beneficiaries if they were killed in a car accident. Because of the salesman’s winning personality and charming good looks, they bought the policy. None of the three sisters owned a car, and Sara and Essie had not driven in an automobile in six years. — immediately the perceived inequities in the policy, and reported this to the Office of Legal Counseling for the Elderly (LCE). A para-legal aid was called in and is currently investigating the problem. The office of LCE was recently opened in Buffalo to give inexpensive legal aid to senior citizens in consumer fraud cases, home ownership problems (price of repairs, property tax rebates and deductions), landlord-tenant problems, administrative problems (food stamps, social security, medicare and medicaid) and pensions. In fact, a separate area of the law was recently social security payments. But if a retired senior citizen decides to continue working at another job, his income will result in a deduction from both his and his wife’s social security checks. He can earn up to $200 a month deductions. Social without security will pay him and his wife about $219 a month. If they both receive monthly pensions totaling about $300, they will have an income of about $700 a month not much to live on for two people who have given so much to their community all their lives. Supplementary Social Security Supplementary Security — Community companion helps The sisters had a community companion who came every week and did their marketing. The next time she came, they told her about their new insurance, and the exciting young man who had come to see them. The companion Social security complaints The Social Security Administration ranks first on the complaint list of the elderly. Many complain about the sex discrimination under social security. A married woman over 65, who has had the normal amount of social security deducted from her paycheck during all her working years, will only receive one half of what her husband gets. The Social Security Administration also discourages work. Income from savings, annuities, sale of capital assets, inheritance, rent income from property and investment in stocks and bonds will not affect the There are, undoubtedly, many generous community services available to senior citizens in Erie County. The biggest problem that still exists is making them aware of these services. Next comes the problem of convincing them they are entitled to these services and should not be afraid to use them. Because many senior citizens are shut-ins, they don’t know what is available to them. Other elderly people do not want to accept what their generation has called “charity.” If the senior citizens who most need this assistance cannot be informed of and encouraged to use these services, the biggest problem for the elderly must still be tackled. ! * Photos by David Lastar Wednesday, 7 May 1975 The Spectrum Page thirteen . . **j | �'•k'* Amy Dunkin Managing Editor, 1974-75 Editor-in-Chiaf, 1975-76 Richard Korman Campus Editor, 1974-75 Managing Editor-in-Chief. 1974-75 Editor, 1975-76 Michael O'Neill Managing Editor, 1974-75 Special Features Editor, 1974-75 Mitchell Regenbogen Campus Editor, 1974-75 Bob Budiansky Graphics Editor, 1974-75, 1975-76 Kim Santos 1974-75 Photo Editor, Gerry McKean 76 You've read our words.

Perhaps you were at the Kottke concert last fall. If not, his reputation as the fastest twelve and six string finger picker alive may have reached your ears. At any rate, Leo Kotte is truly amazing: a virtuoso, an inventive, imaginative performer and composer. He may or may not have a band with him if he does, you can expect some electric surprises. If not, his old tricks are still guaranteed to awe. In this business, if an artist can keep his head above public water for more than a few months, he’s lucky. Jesse Colin Young’s staying power alone would be proof of his talent, but he hardly needs to rest on that laurel. Founder of the now legendary Youngbloods ("Get Together’’ their most famous classic), Young was a major influence on the San Francisco music scene of the late sixties. His California mellow voice and flowing style have withstood the tests of time and trends, and he continues to progress from his original folk abd blues roots, something obvious to anyone who has heard his latest album, Songbird. The concert takes place on Thursday, May 15 at Kleinhans Music Hall at 8 p.m. The perfect way to end the term with the kind of music that fits into any kind of celebration. -Willa Bassen — «* TELL THE WORLD - Craduati Rnnouncements vail able NOW at diversity kstore^®^ ■ nP«g*«*tfWi- Th%awqerwm- Wadnesd^,^ *■. .

As it is, the result is a competent but monotonous series of songs. The sound is typical Muddy blues, redone in different beats to accomodate the lyrics. Among those helping are Paul Butterfield, and Levon Helm and Garth Hudson of the Band. Butterfield’s harp stands out on most of the tracks as does the piano of Pinetop Perkins. Waters does vocals and guitar, although the vocals come through twice as often. “Going Down to Main Street” on the first side is a little rocker that helps to break up the set but even it falls into the blues trap after a little while. The space between the songs is filled with conversation between members of the band, with Muddy giving instructions to everyone. He keeps everyone together and moving, but the sense of sluggishness sneaks through anyway. “Caledonia,” last on the first side, gives the band a chance to step out with solos and the individuals do very well with 'y... il or Write: Strawberry Fields/Jamaica 54 West 56th Street New York City 10019 212-247-4505 Your Travel Agent Or Perkins helps out a little on two of the cuts with additional vocals that augment the established voice of Waters. A positive point; the organ and accordian of Garth Hudson are good in themselves and blend very well with the total effect. Waters says it himself between the first and second cuts on the second side: “I don’t write nothing but blues, stoned blues.” That is really what makes up this album, though none of it is his. McKinley Morganfield and Fleecie Moore did most of the writing, with the exceptions by Jerry Lieber and Mike Stoller, who did “Kansas City,” and a couple of others. “Let the Good Times Roll” is another up beat blues number but by the end, the resemblance to “Going Down . ..” is unmistakable. That’s really about it, a collection of Muddy Waters type blues with some talent thrown in to fill the sparce spots. From a master like Waters, I expected much more.

Pageisewenteen �ECORD Robert Hunter, Tiger Rose (Round) Robert Hunter is probably best known as the lyricist of the kings of San Franciscan rock, The Grateful Dead. It’s been little over a year since Hunter begun recording on his own, and with the release of Tiger Rose, Hunter seems headed for stardom. He possesses a mediocre but crisp voice. Hunter sounds strikingly similar to Phil Lesh and at times, his songs sound like to the Dead’s soft-rock tunes. Hunter is fortunate to have the talents of Jerry Garcia on almost all the tracks. Garcia plays piano, guitar, and synthesizer, and sings background vocals on some tracks. On “One Thing To Try,” Jerry’s synthesizer work is magnificent. The song has a mellow Latin flavor throughout, which gives it a calm, smooth sound. Hunter's lyrics are up to his usual standard of excellence: Don’t ever let it get the best ofyou. Plan whatyou can, let the rest shine through. Just so many angles you can possibly see Got to figure on those, let the other ones be Got alot of things growing But keep watching your seeds ...” His lyrics are complex and deep, but many of his melodies are at best mediocre. However, his writing compensates for the flaws in the rest of the album’s production. The album didn’t come with the lyrics enclosed, but if one listens carefully the words can be understood, due to Hunter’s fine phrasing and enunciation. The last number,'“Ariel” is probably the best " CROSSWORD PUZZLE song, lyric-wise, on the album. It’s a slowly paced ballad with choir-like background vocals by Donna Jean Godchaux, Jerry Garcia, and David Freiberg. The lyrics are Just superb: “There is no night like this night Where candles bum through daylight, Lines restrained by golden tenors. Fade, fade, fade, fade, away The sun objects with smiling sadness Roman highways laced with diamonds. . . If I had the sense to know Which things count, which are show And hold my fate within my hands Instead of all these chains and bounds Yes I would, oh Ariel, Ariel, Ariel. The album never lags, and there aren’t any dull cuts. Hunter writes about many aspects of life: despair, love, sadness, happiness; and has a very convincing delivery, which tends to get very emotional at times, especially in “Dance a Hole” when he sings: “You can play with power and money, You can play with towers above. Draw the line there if you ’re able. And don’tyou ever play with love. Tiger Rose should be a very successful record. Hunter’s talents are very well showcased. Grateful Dead fans get a chance not only to hear how well Hunter can write, but also sing, it’s about time more attention and acclaim be given him the long overdue recognition as one of rock music’s best lyricists. He should finally get out from the shadow of the Dead. A fine album from a fine artist.

The first official definition of Zionism was the Basle Program of 1897, which said, “Zionism seeks to obtain for the Jewish people a publicly recognized, legally secured home in Palestine.” The Zionist movement proposed to: create a Jewish national movement similar to other national movements of the nineteenth century; obtain and political economic independence; revive Hebrew language and — — — literature; develop the land of Israel; create an open society with freedom of choice for each - — individual; give the Jewish people the right to guide their own destiny. This definition was later expanded to include the protection of the rights of Jews everywhere. — Rights for all The movement has never the deprive intended to Palestinian minority in the land of The Israeli rights. their Declaration of Independence states, in part, .. it will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex; it will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education and culture “We appeal... to the Arab inhabitants of the State of Israel to preserve peace and participate in the upbuilding of the state on the basis of full and equal citizenship and due representation and its provisional in all ...” institutions permanent The Israeli government has always sought to work with its Arab neighbors; in order for the area to prosper, all must work together.

Holy war Four times in the past 27 years, Jihaad (holy war) has been declared to create a secular state in the area of what is Israel. Yet Israel and Lebanon are the only states in the area which do not have religious law as their civil codes. Israel has not made public any specific plan for the creation of a nation, Palestinian claiming instead that any such plans would be approved as part of a general settlement in the area. The Israeli government has chosen not to the Palestinian recognize Liberation Organization (PLO) because the PLO has publicly stated that one of its goals is the destruction of the Israeli state. This policy simply leaves no room for compromise, and the state cannot preside over its own destruction. The most important condition for peace in the Middle East is the recognition by all nations in the area of the legitimacy of the existence of the state of Israel, for then all other issues at hand can be resolved.

Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer Oft* Friday, there was more of the same. Stores dosed early, and the turnout at the track was unusually high. Friday night began the siege. In order to be at the finish line in the infield, we had to be among the first to enter Churchill Downs at 8 a.m. Saturday morning. Toward that end we decided to leave our lodgings at the Univeristy of Louisville, and campout in line. We made the mile walk to the Downs at about midnight, but with all the activity going on, it might as well have been noon. We spread our blankets on the Churchill Downs parking lot and began the tedious wait until the police let us form a line at 5:30 a.m. Those 5-1/2 hours were the most hellish of all, as many of the 200 or so people who were also on hand got extremely drunk and rowdy. One idiot from Tennessee poured beer on anybody who attempted to go to sleep. Foolish Pleasure, with Jacinto Vasquez aboard, won the 101st Kentucky Derby on Saturday at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, When he crossed the finish line, I was SO yards away, up against the fence in the infield, screaming my head off. There are not many things in my mind which can parallel the Derby. The excitement of watching the best three year olds in the country parade onto the dirt track to the strains of “My Old Kentucky Home” is something that cannot be conveyed by television. The prestigious Belmont Stakes, the third leg of racing’s triple crown, is just another in the endless stream of important events which are lost in the massiveness of New York City. But for Louisville, the Derby is the only important event of the year, and it infests the entire city. Mobbed Streets are rerouted, lawns and driveways are converted to Of course, we were first on line, and after we passed parking lots, and Kentucky Derby shirts, glasses, rings and through the gate and made our mad dash to the finish line pictures are all put on sale. The city doesn’t sleep from area, the real wait began. The infield swelled first. By Friday morning until Sunday night. Traffic is moderate noon, I couldn’t walk anyplace without stepping on even at 3 a.m., and you never know when somebody is blankets, racing forms or people. going to tap you on the shoulder and ask, “Who do you By 2 p.m., the stage was set. The grandstand was full like in the Derby?” by now, and the two races left before the Derby were merely a formality. At this stage, we knew everybody around us Sightseeing who they were, where they came from and We arrived on Thursday morning and immediately most of all, which horse they were betting on. drove out to Churchill Downs simply to ogle at the famous The seventh race ended, and there were 60 minutes to twin spires. We also found our way to the first turn of the go. The crowd swelled in on us perhaps 20 or 30 deep, but track itself where we were lucky enough to see Foolish we maintained our bird’s eye view save for two picture Pleasure and a host of other Derby contenders working takers who temporarily moved in for some shots of the out. Unfortunately, we also bumped into Howard Cosell. horses on parade. The excitement and tension were — unbounded by now. The sun went behind the clouds, and the threat of rain was real. But the magic of the Kentucky Derby made sure that it held off until after the race. The horses made their way to the paddock, and then reappeared on the track as everyone in Churchill Downs came to their feet. I strained to hear “My Old Kentucky Home” as the horses strode by. The caravan of colts reached the gate and amidst an eruption of 130,000 people, broke from the start. The noise level didn’t drop one decibel as the horses sped in and out of our view for the first time. They came by again, and when Foolish Pleasure crossed the finish line, the city of Louisville hit its high point of the year. That night, we left Louisville after a short celebration, and by Monday, most everyone will have gone. The clean up job at Churchill Downs will begin, and the talk around town will shift from “Hey, that Foolish Pleasure is some horse” to “Do you known any good two year olds?” Only 362 days until the Kentucky Derby. Winkel readies for championship race Friday night, Buffalo’s Monica Winkel and seven other area college students will determine the winner of the College Harness Racing Championships at Buffalo Raceway. A 30-foot birdie putt on the final hole enabled Lares Tresjan to edge out Bruce Engel, The Spectrum's Sports Editor by a score of 58-104, in an early-morning round at Delaware Park last Saturday. Mr. Tresjan completely outpsyched Mr. Engel by scoring five birdies, three eagles and a hole in one. The other two members of the foursome, Mike O'Neill and Larry Kratowitz, spent the entire round- at Delaware Park composing songs. One of Mr. O'Neill's compositions, "Hey Bunglo Lares" can be heard on WZAQ radio. Page twenty The Spectrum Wednesday, 7 May 1975 . .

Also, the Recreation Department, starting June 9, is coordinating intramural competition in softball, tennis, bowling, handball, gcif, swimming, badminton, archery, squash, and volleyball. University. The concerted efforts of these groups the past four months have produced a calendar of events which include a multitude of diversified activities that will take place primarily in the Norton Hall fountain area. The planned program includes coffeehouses, movies, tennis and karate demonstrations, and crafts exhibits. Additionally, there will be literature and poetry readings in the Norton Tiffin over Room, plays in Harriman Library, and concerts in Baird. Community trips, such as picnics to Niagara Falls, Toronto, Old Fort Niagara and Beaver Island, are also on the agenda. UUAB has chosen a wide of variety popular films for this summer’s viewing. Among these are The Gambler, The Boy Friend, Chinatown, T.B.A., Bed and Board, New attitudes Food service hopes to set up a refreshment stand in the fountain courtyard. The ice cream concession, however, will remain on the first floor of Norton throughout the summer. There will also be barbecues and beer gardens on the Union terrace. Dave Benders, Director of UUABj attributed Food Service’s enthusiasm and cooperation to the “new attitudes” of its director, Donald Hosie. Mr. Hosie was unavailable for comment, but assistant Director Donald Bozek said “things are changing” and that “student input” is crucial. Jim Blackhurst, Director of Summer Activities, said “finding a mechanism for bringing together student and department monies” was the major problem in coordinating the project, although complimented UUAB’s cooperation. Continue cooperation Students have “a more serious interest in the arts” today than five or six years ago, he added, and summer activities planning is directed towards this awareness. Ann Hicks, Associate Coordinator of Student Activities, explained that the progri work.” She said “better planning” made the extensive activities program possible. While the master calendar has not yet been approved, project coordinators are confident the proposal will go through. Mr. Benders hopes the current cooperation with SA, UUAB, ahd the departments will continue through next year. Decision forthcoming Health Dept, challenged in computerizing prescriptions oy Joseph P. Esposito City American Federation of and Dentists. They obtained a temporary injunction the filing and to restrain processing of the prescriptions on March 29, 1973, but that order was terminated shortly thereafter. the Physicians Editor A decision is expected soon in a legal action challenging the State Health Department’s practice of making computerized records of ill individuals who have received prescriptions for Schedule II drugs (narcotics, barbituates and amphetamines) April I, 1973. (See The Spectrum, May 3, 1974.) According to Michael Lesch, one of the attorneys handling the challenge, a ruling could come in a matter of weeks, “though it could possibly take up to a year.” Drug enforcement The prescriptions have been computerized as a result of a bill signed into law by former Governor Nelson Rockefeller on June 8, 1972. The legislation officially became part of Article 33 of the State Public Health Law on April 1, 1973. The trial, held in the United Slates District Court for the Southern District of New York, was completed in December, 1974. Post-trial briefs were submitted to the court last month. The computerized information includes the name, address and age of thp patient, the name and amount of the drug, and the name and address of the prescribing physician. The information is retrievable under both the patient’s and physician’s names. No comment The information, which had previously been available in pharmacy records, is collected on triplicate prescription forms, one copy of which is sent to the Health Department in Albany. The State said it would be used in drug enforcement and to curb abuses by doctors who write or patients who receive Schedule II A spokesman for the State Health Department, whose commissioner, Hollis J. Ingraham, is the defendant in the case, would not comment on the case, known as Roe v. Ingraham, while it is in litigation. Seth Greenwald, a spokesman for the State Attorney General’s office in New York City, which is handling the case for the State, also said it was “not appropriate to comment while in litigation.” Mr. Greenwald noted, however, that the last decision handed down by a court in the case had denied the injunction the plaintiffs were seeking to end the computerization and collection of the prescriptions. Plaintiffs in the case include several patients who were receiving Schedule II drugs (including Percodan, Demerol and Ritalin), two physicians who prescribe the drugs, the Empire State Physicians Guild, Inc v and prescriptions. Right to privacy? In post-trial briefs obtained by The SSpectrum the plaintiffs argue that the “State cannot point to any enforcement purpose that will be served by having the patient’s names recorded on the prescriptions and on the central computer in Albany.” , ' Editions Page two The Spectrum Monday, 5 May 1975 . . Doctor to doctor? One plaintiff, a psychiatrist, stopped prescribing Schedule II drugs because he feared the prescription filing requirement would undermine his patients’ trust and confidence in him. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals, which sent the case to the District Court, observed that an individual’s prescriptions often reveal the nature ofhis ailment.. The Court of Appeals had gone on record as saying that the present system would enable the State to readily detect a number of serious abuses, such as the same patient going to different doctors to obtain quantities of Schedule II drugs greater than his legitimate medical needs, overprescription by doctors, and the theft or forgery of prescriptions. Plaintiffs argue that the “State now concedes that it does not need” the names of patients to solve any of those problems. The THE BRANCH BOOKSTORE 3214 Main Street at Winspear 838-5035 PAPERBACKS Special Overstock Offers DICTIONARIES Reg. $0.95 NOW $5.95 SHORT WORKS OF DOSTOEVSKY 20% Off - College They also contend that the State has failed to show that there is no “substantial risk of malicious or careless disclosure of the identities of patients using Schedule II drugs “because of leaks in the collection and computerization system. The plaintiffs, who are seeking a permanent injunction to end the prescription collection, believe the current system “violates the patient’s right of privacy and the doctor’s right to treat his pallets [without being bound] by non-medical considerations, both of which are guaranteed by the 14th Amendment.” - — - - Children'!

The program has three parts: sperm banking, semen analysis and insemination. Marilynn Buckham, the administrator of the program, said that the sperm banking is done in New York City with the Ident Sperm Bank. After donors are screened and their semen analyzed at the Sperm Bank, about 10 percent-are accepted into the program. The Ident Clinic collects the semen by having the donors masturbate and ejaculate into several tubes. The semen is than frozen in liquid nitrogen and coded by the donor’s size, build, coloring, religion, etc. The donor’s actual identity, however, remains completely confidential. Inseminations and semen analysis are conducted at the Erie Medical Center. A semen analysis, which includes a sperm count, requires that the ejaculate be no more than two hours old. During the insemination process, a syringe containing the tube of frozen semen is injected two or three times into the vagina and cervix during the woman’s ovulatory period. The process is 60 to 70 percent effective, but can take more than a month to impregnate the woman. So far, the Erie Medical center has inseminated six women, two of whom are now pregnant.

Presently pending in Congress is a federal qualified shield bill initiated by Rep. Robert Kastenmeier (D-WI) and designed to protect a reporter’s right to disclosure of evidence. Hopes for a national liberal unqualified shield law died last December because an indecisive 93rd Congress neither passed nor vetoed Sen. Alan Cranston’s (D-CA) free flow of information bill. Both Congress and thfe press corps felt that shield laws, presently effect in 26 states, might be the answer for protection after the in Supreme Court’s 1972 landmark decision ruling that reporters do not have an inherent First Amendment right to refuse to reveal information given them on a confidential basis. Since the decision a number of reporters have gone to jail rather than reveal their sources. — Indecision Legislative indecision, however, has existed not only among press shield-wary congressmembers, but among the press as well. While several congressional leaders have viewed a shield bill as “special privilege legislation” for the press, their sentiments have been shared by some news reporters who want tno legislation at all and hope Congress will stay out of the press arena. Other journalistic opinion has ranged /rom a willing acceptance for a watered down bill to a demand for strong, unqualified legislation. “We’d rather have no law than a bad law,” said one shield law reporter-lobbyist. According to free press defender Sen. Cranston, a bad shield law is one with “serious loopholes and qualifications that actually would give the government and the courts new openings with which to restrict press freedom rather than enhance it.” Opposite effect Yet with all the discussion over shield laws, related legislative loopholes have been discovered, which may force news reporters to reveal their sources, Cranston has claimed. There are two questionable provisions in the controversial Federal Criminal Code Act now being considered by Congress. The first makes it a federal offense for anyone, including a reporter, to refuse to answer a question in an official proceeding after a federal court judge orders him to answer. The second provision makes it a federal crime to conceal the identity of someone who may have committed a crime. This new threat to the First Amendment may push lawmakers and news people to unite behind a single, strong piece of legislation which will protect news sources against compulsory disclosure. so it can continue to “The press must be free to expose corruption and lawlessness in and out of government. If informants are afraid to talk to newsmen for fear of being publicly identified, news sources will dry up and both the public and law enforcement authority themselves will be deprived of vital information,” said Sen. Cranston. • * The grand prize winning photograph in the Minolta Corporation photo competition for college students, The winner, Philip Meyer, a 20-year-old architecture Bullets too , Ban focus-hand gun sale Condemning the abundance of violent crimes committed in America each day, Lyndon B. Johnson once remarked, “fire handguns, rifles, and arms are 'as easy to obtain shotguns as baskets of fruit and cartons of cigarettes.” The handgun in particular, which accounts for about 25 percent of privately owned firearms in the nation, is used in nearly three-quarters of all killings from guns. With this in mind, the Committee for Handgun Control (CHC) a non-profit corporation and a Congressional lobby organized in 1973, is responsible for informing citizens of the continued, threat of — — THE OUTDOOR STORE • 913 MAIN at CARLTON (1/2 block from Allen) 9 5:30 Mon.

This year we have combined the best features of each to produce a tent for the most demanding of climbers or backpackers. indiscriminate sale and use of handguns. In Minnesota, for example, firecrackers are illegal, but almost anyone over the age of 18 can buy a gun. Fighting for Controls The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is now considering the CHC’s petition to ban the sale of handgun bullets, except to policemen, military personnel, licensed security guards, and licensed pistol clubs. This came after Washington Judge Thomas A. Flannery’s decision last December to order the CPSC to consider the proposed ban of handgun bullets. He instructed the Commission to publish its own proposal for limiting the sale of handgun ammunition to stimulate public reaction while ruling that the Commission had the authority to enact the measure. Before Judge Flannery’s ruling, the CHC’s proposed ban was rejected by several of the CPSC’s members grounds that “it was a back door attempt to ban pistols themselves.” However, Susan Sullivan, President of the CHC, told the Court that bullets are dangerous objects and that the sale of ammunition should be controlled the Federal Hazardous by Substances Act. Public endorsement The CHC proposal has been enthusiastically endorsed by Rochford, James N. of the Chicago Superintendent Police Department, who believes a ban would “significantly contribute to a reduction in handgun misuse incidents.” A massive advertising campaign is presently underway to gain public support for the proposed ban. The committee is also lobbying in Congress for anti-gun legislation. “We are not trying to change anyone’s mind about gun control, Ms. Sullivan maintained. “Polls show that eighty percent of the people want strong gun control and we are just trying to get the Commission or Congress to do what the majority of the people really want.” In the past, those who opposed tougher regulation of hand-gun sales argued that limiting an individual’s right to buy weapons is unconstitutional. The thrust of the CHC’s new approach is that if you can’t ban the gun, then ban the bullet. All tents are flame retardent 3 Man Mt. KATAHDIN �SO 2 Man Mt. KATAHDIN *55 4 Man Mt.

We certainly have no point of contention with Mr. Hohenstein’s right to an opinion on this issue. But, rather than attacking the issue or the proposal, Mr. Hohenstein attacks women generally. Indeed, the attack is so vicious and offensive that we feel our status as intelligent persons has been openly questioned. We wish to counter the main points of Mr. Hohenstein’s argument as to our worthiness as bona fide members of the human race. Richard Hohenstein seems to have serious problems with his sex role in life; some grave feelings of threat manifested in attitudes of male superiority. This is evidenced by his letter which started off, although stridently emotional, at least dealing with the issue, but somehow ended with his baring his anti-female philosophy for all the world to see. We deeply sympathize with the embarrassment he must feel over this impulsive, gut reaction letter, but we should be given an opportunity to redeem ourselves. Mr. Hohenstein was consistent in that he referred to women as “girls” throughout the letter while referring to men as “men.” We feel it unnecessary to delve into this topic since black people have done an outstanding job in communicating the feelings involved when black men arc referred to as “boys.” Presumably as a pun to add wit to his letter, Mr. Hohenstein uses a slang word for the female genitals in reference to women “trotting around the court.” Considering the appearance of Mr. Hohenstein’s genitals, we would strongly urge him never again to ridicule or make puns about those of women. Frankly, he would be leaving himself wide open. As things stand now, women have one night a week at the Bubble, apd if this is not a satisfactory solution, matters can be worked out by mature, logical reasoning (provided we aren’t hit with one of those cute little scatter-brained boys who absolutely refuses to share a court with a woman). We wish to make a public statement that we bear no ill will toward Richard Hohenstein, and wish him the best of luck during his maturing process.

Advertising Manager Business Manager v �Editor’s Note: The following policy statement Letter to Ketter Editor’s note: The following letter was sent to University President Robert Ketter. Well, I’m writing this letter Saturday morning almost 30 hours afterwards hut somehow I am still inside Hayes Hall. Your barbaric hastiness on Friday really surprised me; perhaps I was just naive. Amidst all my anger and confusion, and my flashbacks to the incident in Hayes, 1 have begun to sort things out. Unscrupulous behavior on your part is to be expected for it has characterized your administration. Your latest acts, which have apparently resulted in a state-wide uproar, should scar you for life. Besides criminal procedures, it is the least of what I hope for you. By the way, did you read about the students at Brown University who occupied the administration building overnite to protest campus cutbacks? All administrators and staff left the building, no police type forces were called in, and no one was hurt. — — The students at Brown University, much like ourselves, occupied the building because all other avenues for getting their opinions recognized and acted upon proved fruitless. What else can you do when more ‘polite’ efforts have been in vain? Dr. Siggelkow and Dr. Lorenzetti both double-talked their way around the issue the day before; not fooling anybody, not even themselves. I knew all along that it was a waste of time. The only way left to protest the capricious decision, and let you know we have a right to decide on the allocation of our money, was to protest in a civilly disobedient, but non-violent manner at your office. All other means had been exhausted. Nevertheless, some members believed, even after you tried to bust all our heads, that you could be persuaded through rational discussion to give us the buses. The money for buses was no longer the issue! We had only been in the building a little more than an hour. I didn’t expect you to issue an ultimatum, especially so soon, that you knew would result in physical harm to defenseless students due to Campus Security and their overzealous and abhorable behavior (it’s amazing what a person with a weapon will do when an individual in authority gives them the okay to use it). Your ultimatum even resulted in an education for us, as to what kind of ruthless, unremorseful, person you really are. We learned to what extent an individual in power will go when their authority has been confronted. I’m sure our education on this last point will continue, as our what challenge to what you and this University are about, will grow in scope this whole nation and size. I am sure the extent to which you will go to meet this challenge will, likewise, expand. Campus Security and their dogs (guns?), Buffalo Police, it will take more than all those you helicopters, had Friday to suppress a people you and 1 both know are right. Who knows Bob, maybe one day you’ll find yourself in our position. The students will have taken complete control of policy making in the university. You serve only as a figurehead. We have just vetoed the funds for a trip to the American Historical Association by several history professors - - - because we decided it was not of social, cultural or educational value. We saw its political implications, since historians often have a conservative bias in their repording of events. You and other concerned administrators stage a sit-in at our offices to protest the decision. Would you want us to ‘sic the dogs’ on you? Harold Meyrowitz was passed Friday night by the Student Association Executive Committee. On Friday, May 2, the Executive Committee of Student Association held a meeting to define its position concerning the movement by the Attica Support Group and supporting organizations. The Executive Committee is making the following Statement: “The Student Association Executive Committee cannot support the Strike called for this Monday by the Attica Support Group. The Executive Committee believes in their basic goals, but does not support the strike for the following reasons; 1. The strike will not further our aims; it will only lead to another confrontation. The press will come down on students. The Administration will come down on students 2.The strike will further cloud the true goals, which are; (a) Drop all academic charges, because the students charged were denied due process. (b) Student control of their own money. (c) That the- Buffalo police not be called in in cases of civil disobedience. (d) Establish a civil review board for Campus Security. 3. The Student Association does not condone, under any circumstances, the disruption of classes. This does not rule out strikes, but rather disrupting the classes of those who wish to attend classes instead of strike. 4. The Strike will give the administration reason to impose more restrictions on freedom of movement on campus.” Keep men out To the Editor: Because of mass student support expressed last semester during chartering, the governance body of Women’s Studies College feels it necessary to keep people informed as the continuing struggle over our right to maintain Women in Contemporary Society (213) as an all-women’s class. In the five years Women’s Studies has existed we have offered approximately 25-30 courses of established academic validity, with an enrollment of 500 students each semester. Every semester the number of women signing up for 213 increases; this semester 200 women are taking the course, while many had to be turned away due to lack of space. In our charter (1-10-75) we won the right to have all-women’s courses as a small proportion of the total number of courses offered by the College, provided that the exclusion of men is academically’ justifiable. The Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) has already passed the Feminist Acting Workshop as an all women’s class, concerning itself only with the academic validity of the course. Since 213 has been taught for the last ten semesters and has passed through proper academic channels, it is contradictory for the course to go through re-evaluation once again, when University policy does not require re-evaluation of a course each semester it is offered. It is unclear as to when DUE will make its decision regarding 213, but from past experience we know it was student and community support which helped us win the charter and it is that support which will help us maintain it. Debbie Alter, Trudy Rudnick & Audrey Siegel Women’s Studies College Lloyd Jim just as hung up To the Editor This letter is directed toward Lloyd Jim, the idealist author of a letter written to The Spectrum on Monday 4/21. I was very impressed with his knowledge of Latin (“uni” means all, “ver” means see). However, after reading his letter of complaint about The Spectrum, it appeared to me, he is guilty of his own accusations as is The Spectrum. He accuses the writers of The Spectrum of being “little frustrated hung-up Portnoys from N.Y. who release their frustrations through The Spectrum .” From someone who claims to be so intellectually and emotionally mature, how can such generalizations “hold water,” especially when I look at the names of The Spectrum staff: Clem Colucci, Joseph Esposito, Michael O’Neill, Gerry McKeen, Chun Wai Fong, and well, of course, the Jews. to The furthers Also, say Spectrum Anti-Semeti? graffiti (with an undertone of justification) is to be as humane as a racist (which 1 suspect Mr. Jim to be). The people that write anti-semetic graffiti do not do so because of The Spectrum. It’s because they hate Jews. If'l was to lower myself to Mr. Jim’s level, 1 would say he is a frustrated hung-up Mick or Pollack or whatever from Buffalo who releases his frustrations by being Anti-Semetic. However, I won’t day that, and just 1 state that 1 feel Mr. Jim is not as intelligent or mature as he would like to think he is. Probably the most important prerequisite for emotional maturity is “experience,” and Mr. Jim has obviously showed his lack of it. He is sick of being “ranked out” about the weather (which let’s face it, compared to 90 percent of the country, SUCKS), the people and the city of Buffalo, and studying at Jew B. It appears to me, Mr. Jim is as hung-up as those “little Portnoys,” if these things really bother him. Maybe if he was persecuted or annihilated, he would feel better. Barry Save our own jobs To the Editor. An unfortunate coincidence on April 30 led to my letter on “Self-defeating Violence” to come out in the same issue as the report of Dr. Lawler’s No association should be non-reappointment. inferred. Dr. Lawler has told me that the open letter which he drafted last March, on behalf of UUP, was distributed by the Graduate Students Employees Union (GSEU) and most definitely not by the Revolutionary Students Brigade (RSB). He has authorized me to quote him, that he has nothing to do with the RSB. Dr. Lawler was acting in a most constructive manner, in initiating the campaign of letter-writing to legislators, to try to undo the disastrous cuts in our budget. 1 only hope tha all students and faculty have been responding to the plea. It is not too late; and the jobs or stipends, and even the places in classroom or lab, that we save, may be our own. Robert J Good Professor A woman's decision To the Editor. Hockey puck This letter concerns the “poem” printed in the 1 edition of Ethos entitled “A Woman’s Decision” (page 26). The author of this “poem,” Ms. Donna Serbert implies that abortion is an inhuman act equivalent to preparing the fetus (in the “poem” she calls it a new child) for dinner, or cooking it in some way. In the entire four years that I have been a student at this University, 1 have never seen a student publication come out with a more shocking, morbid, tasteless and inconsiderate piece of trash. This “poem” is inconsiderate of the many women who forgone reason or another, cannot maintain a pregnancy and decide to or must have an abortion. Such a decision is often an extremely traumatic and painful one on the part of the women and should not be made all the more difficult by the babbling of an individual who for some religious and/or fanatic reason, has decided to push their moral beliefs on everyone else! May To the Editor A bunch of my friends and myself would like to request $2000 from the S.A. for the witnessing of an historical event. It’s definitely an educational experience to go to Montreal for the Sabres’ game. Of course, we will stay in Montreal for the weekend to hold a Sabres rally. If our request for funds is refused, we will march around Hayes with hockey sticks chanting “Sabres Mean Fight Back!” We’ll also block the windows in Ketter’s office with Sabres banners. If security is called in, we’ll make them get the puck out of there. If our money isn’t allocated, we will expect a check from Binghamton to put the icing on the cake. Jim Prendergast Cohen I am not in any way stating a case for or against abortion. You see, what I believe in is my business, and what other people believe in is their business. If some one believes in abortion, fine! If not, again, fine! Ah, but then we do have people in our society (like Donna Serbert) who are not satisfied that they themselves may be adhering to their own moral beliefs, but for some unknown reason must attempt to impose their beliefs upon others. And if that’s not bad enough, some people in our society (like Donna Serbert) must attempt to impose their beliefs in a most disgusting, undignified manner. It’s about time that people like Donna Serbert realize that it is none of their damn business what a woman must or chooses to do with her life. It is most certainly her decision! Sal Napoli, a student P.S. I am deeply ashamed of Ethos and I condemn their May 1 edition for their blatant inconsideration. Monday, 5 May 1975,. The Spectrum Page seven . �rv,*u*v! Problem: surviving past the year2000 by Jody Gerard Spectrum Staff Writer “Human life is now threatened as never before. I am one of those scientists who does not see how to bring the human race much past the year 2000. And if we perish, as seems more and more possible, in a nuclear holocaust, that will be the end not only for us, but for much of the rest of life on the earth.” Prophesies of apocalypse, once confined to religious scriptures, have been slowly creeping into the purview of scientific minds. The above statement, for example, a look at the catastrophic potential of nuclear power, was delivered by Harvard professor George Wald at the "The unleashed power of the atom has changed everything except our ways of thinking. Thus we are drifting toward a catastrophe beyond comparison. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking, if mankind is to survive. —Albert Einstein ” 20th World Conference Against Atomic and Hydrogen Bombs in In a related article in the journal, the phenomenon of “dehumanization” was said to have “significant bearing on the psychological capacity of people to tolerate implications of mass destruction in nuclear war.” Dehumanization refers to the “tendency to view other individuals or groups as though they do not quite belong to the ‘human race.,” the article states. The phenomenon of dehumanization protects a person from feelings of guilt about the way he feels about or acts toward other human beings. It leads to “the perception of other people as non-humans, as mere items, statistics, or inanimate ‘consumable supplies’.” Additionally, the report points out that way of viewing of people as non-human carries with it “a sense of non-involvement and indifference to the actual or potential problems of others.” Thus, without any “conscious malice or selfish motivation,” one is capable of ignoring the suffering, misery, sickness or death of others since it neither concerns nor moves him personally. Defense Dehumanization, particularly in relationship to the threat of nuclear war, is a psychological defense which “acts maladaptively by neutralizing the customary psychological barriers that would otherwise Tokyo last year. “We live while that is permitted us in a balance of terror,” Professor Wald asserted, noting that the U.S. and the Soviet Union together have already stockpiled nuclear weapons with an explosive force equivalent to 10 tfms of TNT for every man, woman and child on the earth. “You might think that enough,” Prof. Wald surmised, “but we are now in the midst of further escalation on both sides, replacing every single nuclear warhead with multiple warheads, and devising new and — — more devastating weapons.” According to a report in Psychiatric Aspects Prevention of Nuclear Wars, the emphasis on acquiring more and more powerful nuclear armaments to become more 'Strong and secure’ despite the risk - “Here we stand in the middle of this new world with our primitive brain, attuned to the simple cave life, with terrific forces that are at our disposal, which we are clever enough to release, but whose consequences we cannot comprehend. Its dimensions are too far beyond our "Neither the United States nor the USSR can prevent the other from wielding a society-destroying blow, regardless of who attacks first. Offensive military power has been made so varied and strong that all conceivable defensive systems can be overwhelmed or by-passed by the power of offensive nuclear weapons. —Senator George S. McGovern to the U.S. Senate (8/2/63) ” be present to the destruction of millions of individual human beings.” Dehumanization, in effect, allows us “to play chess with the planets," the article points out. “To the extent that people continue to take refuse in patterns of dehumanized thinking, they are protected not only from guilt and anxiety, but also from the need to take part in the kind of social action and/or administrative responsibility that could have a meaningful effect on their individual and social destinies,” the report concludes. As Prof. Wald said in Tokyo, “The present crisis is a crisis, not of information, but of policy. We could begin to cope with all the involved, suggests that mmy people are motivated more by fears of problems that now threaten our lives, but we cannot cope with any of them while maximizing profits. weakness and helplessness than by fears of death.” “Arise, ye prisoners of extinction,” Prof. Wald said.

On one side are the Air Force and its major contractors; on the other, defense critics like “110 Members of Congress for Peace Through Law,” “The Center for Defense Information” and Project “ on Budget Priorities.” are The Air Force has insisted that the B-52 bombers now aging and need to be replaced. The House Appropriations Committee, however, has reported that the latest series, B-52, will remain operational for twenty years. Air Force officials contend that a new bomber is needed to maintain the triad strategic deterrence system of land-based missiles submarine-based missiles, and manned bombers. But the notion of triad deterrence itself has been under attack from defense department critics who say it is practically impossible for an enemy to destroy the land capability response of both and sea-based missiles , simultaneouslyy. Flexibility? The Air Force claims that the B-l bomber would provide essential flexibility in the country’s strategic arsenal have also been criticized because manned bombers may prove obsolete, in an age of nuclear missiles. In the time it would take a B-l to fly 6,000 miles to the USSR, the critics of the B-l contend, each side could deliver four rounds of nuclear missiles. Defense experts are also concerned about Russian advances. The Soviet Union, the Air Force points out, has a wide range of strategic bombers and is now building a new one. But they deploy only 140 long-range strategic bombers, compared with the U.S.’ 500. The new Russian plane, nicknamed “Backfire,” is not capable of reaching the U.S. without re-fueling. Moreover, critics argue that the USSR has never tried to match the U.S. in strategic bombers. In Fiscal Year 1974 military and military-related spending accounted for nearly 59 percent of the federal budget. In Fistal Year 1975, it is expected to be over $100 billion, a record high. Senator James Buckley, (R-C N.Y.) in a press conference following his speech at the University Law School three weeks ago, when asked why he supported the B-l program, replied that a military budget cut of $2 billion would eliminate 100,000 jobs. However, a Michigan Public Interest Research . Group report indicated that for every $ 1 billion spent on military in stead of non-military programs, the country suffers a net loss of 20,000 jobs. Locally, Councilman Bill Price (L-D University District) George K. Arthur (D Ellicott District), and Councilman-at-large William Dauria recently authored a Common Council resolution calling for a re-ordeimg of national priorities, and discontinuing B-l bomber research and development. The Common Council resolution also calls for Congress to shift defense tax dollars into three other areas: program and block grant funds to the cities, research on economic conversion which would transfer military industrial capacity into alternative domestic production, such as mass transit, housing, and pollution controls, and employee benefits and training programs for areas adversely affected by the cancellation of the B-l program.

A 1969 Air Force planning contractors $238. In the city of Buffalo alone, more than $ 113 million in federal tax dollars would be required to finance the B-l for Erie and Niagara Counties. The total tax cost would therefore exceed $330 million. The B-l appears to have a good chance for authorization because of strong lobbying support from the military-related industries. A recent survey of President Ford’s Cohgressional voting record shows that he supported the “bread and butter” defense bills in 50 of 5 1 key votes. Sen. James Buckley (C-R., NY.) voted against nine key military amendments to cut spending over the past year. Local Congressman Jack Kemp’s (R., Hamburg) voting record parallels Sen. Buckley’s. Last summer, all three area Thaddeus Dulski Congressmen (D., Buffalo), Henry P. Smith (R., Tonawanda) and Rep.

Organic farmers ACROSS ‘Community Farm Project’ Forty students and community members have organized their own organic food farm near the Amherst Campus, using untreated seeds and banning all insecticides. The “Community Farm Project” was begun by the North Buffalo Food Co-op and includes about half students and half community people. The idea of the farm is to get away from harmful machines and “the big-business approach of quantity, not quality,” said Steve Ewald.-a worker for the project. He also hopes the project will encourage interaction between the participants and allow them to “get a greater knowledge of farming.” Farmers in the area are “enthused” with the project, he remarked. Democracy The project is on a quarter acre of land at the corner of Sweet Home Road and Chestnut Lane, which was loaned to the group by the Lutheran Ministry. The farm is being run on a year-to-year basis because the church plans to use the land in later years. The group practices its own democracy. It has no specific leaders and everyone works together. Each member averages one visit per week to the farm. The work includes cleaning the land, transplanting trees, building a greenhouse, working the soil with lime, and planting and caring for the crops. There are no hourly requirements, however. The crops will include herbs like parsley, marjoram, wormwood and thyme in addition to three or four varieties of tomatoes, melons, beans and squash. The group is trying to locate a tractor for the farm, and has already obtained a roto-tiller from a friend of Rachel Carson College. Supply co-op Seeds for the farm, purchased in February through the Food Co-op at a third of the usual cost, can also be purchased at the Co-op’s store on Main Street near the University. Much planning has been done for the project. Soil samples and related research have been employed. Rowers and berries will be grown around the crops to divert the bugs and birds. Members of the group hope to supply the Food Co-op sufficiently with what they grow. Mr. Ewland has also urged anyone interested to join the group, noting that the farm is readily accessible to the Amherst campus. The workers there are ready to assist anyone with their own garden. Contact with the group can be made through the Food Co-op. The members meet every Monday at noon in Trailer nine. Also, there are plans for people willing to stay on the farm during the summer. -Neil Hedin DON’T MISS THE COLLEGE HARNESS RACING CHAMPIONSHIP FRIDAY MAYft POST TIME 7:30 PM.

There will be no such time. Instead of being able to say “Why not go see it next weekend,” I am reduced to saying, “You should have been there.” And you should have. The name of the program was Dance Repertory, presented at the Amherst campus’ Katherine Cornell Theater, under the direction of Jill Fothergill, oh April 25 and 26. To this reviewer, who walks without grace and who climbs stairs with a secret quickening of the heart, any effort to invest human movement with beauty and smoothness and precision is a delight. At moments during the performance (there were seven pieces all together) this delight was lessened: sometimes due to the uneven quality of particular dances, but more often because anyone watching the dances did so through the disturbing medium of real physical pain. Architecture Let me explain. At first sight, the Katherine Cornell Theater seems to be a true anomaly in the whole context of Amherst-style architecture. That is to say, it actually looks as if it were built thoughtfully with some definite purpose in mind. And anything suggesting evidence of intelligent design on the Amherst campus is impressive, since it is a kind of techno-Gothic moonscape of a place, characterized by sidewalks that lead nowhere, maze-like corridors, unmarked doors (gasp! it’s the ladies’ room!), elaborate lounges devoid of people, and left-handed water fountains. To the eye at least, the theater is a study in contrast. It is boldly designed in brick and wood and gives the immediate impression of richness and expanse. Everything seems clean and well-ordered. The superstructure is exposed in the ceiling and all beams, lights and wires cluster around two impressively new sections of gleaning orange duct-work. The wooden seating sweeps up from the dance floor on two sides and is constructed on the sauna-bath principle: wide and deep and simple, like stairways for giants. Ouch! But try sitting on these things for an hour and a half. That’s where the physical pain comes in, and that’s where the Katherine Cornell Theater becomes, to some degree, just another bold, pretty and badly-designed trick. "To some degree,” that is, because the theater served its purpose well in the end: the acoustics were wonderful, there were odd and interesting surfaces to dance upon and hide behind, the floor was wide and clean and noiseless, and the technical wizards who parlayed in the glass booth in the rear of the theater put an impressive lighting OF POVERTY Econ. 303-Y 4 Cr. Course ragis no. 0752S8 ADDED to fall class schedule AFTER schedule was printed To be taught by Prof. Murray Brown Tues. & Thurs. 2 3:20, Rm 214 - Elementary The origin of the program was evident in the second piece, “Time and Treasure,” which was pleasing but which had the air of an elementary class in exercise and interpretation. Betsy Wagner, also a member of the theater department’s Zodiaque dance company and easily a dramatic and technical stand-out in either group, choreographed and danced the third piece, “Domus,” using Norman Dello Joio’s “Theme and Variations from Sonota No. 3.” Using a central prop as an emblem of “domus” (Home), Betsy acted out all the emotions involved in that compelling emblem of stasis: the delight at leaving, the joy and terror and work of being away and the exhaustion of getting back. It was a very competent piece and when the lights went down (on both nights) the audience called uproariously for more. There was even some shrieking and whistling. Ay? There was one more piece before the intermission, “Song for Those Who Cannot Hear,” choreographed by Cheryl Johnson. The music was haunting and appropriate. Hannah Priwer, another fine and complete dancer with good range (as I was to see later), acted the part of “conductor” to the rest of the dancers, who were dressed in black leotards with a zi-zag design and who danced with an air of mystery suited to their costumes. When the lights went up for intermission, it took several minutes to unfold myself and fight down the waves of pain before I went out to the corridor for a drink of lukewarm water and a brisk walk down the hall to stretch out my pulled muscles and grinding joints. Of course, I nearly got lost. Luckily I walked through an unmarked LAST WEEK OF THE SEMESTER Introduction to Astronomy offered by the - The course will expose you to a history of ten billion years; visit about ten billion galaxies each populated by millions of stars.

The entire Dance Repertory group was featured in this piece and it was a fitting way to end a program which had its origins in an entire class. What a fine way to take a final exam! To hell with writing anything down. The musical accompaniment for this last dance was live and featured an original score by Richard Shulman. — — Immediately after the performance (on both nights), the musicians burst into an impromptu number or two or three and very soon had the whole audience jumping and stomping and grinding and floating on the dance floor, giving'“Dance Repertory” a weird, funny twist at the end. The controlled flow and precision of one - dance performance gave way to its rowdy sibling. Meanwhile, I stayed where I was, folded up in an attitude of perfect outward calm, trying to discover a way to become five-foot-ten again.

Ecoo. 181—182 and ATQSB Five in three The first piece of the second half, “Five Women in Three Parts,” choreographed by Hannah Priwer, was the best. (She performed in it as well.) It was a comic piece which only faintly suggested the tragedy of five women playing out the roles assigned to them in life. They posed, they played, they gossiped (this was a fine mimic touch), and they even excluded one of their number. There was a real mannequin quality to this piece, presented very humorously and well. I remember especially the perfect, dead-pan beauty of Suzanne Chankin, who also appeared in two of the other dances. “Unicycle (theme and variations), choreographed and performed by Cheryl Johnson, was the second solo of the program. She was accompanied by the live saxaphone of Art Levinowitz (to good measure), but I think her “theme” had too many “variations.” It was simply too long and too thematically repetitive, but the dancing was technically good throughout and she has fine dramatic talent. passport photos, grad school applications, med school applications, law school applications; 3 photos: $3 (i.SO each additional with original order) O'Brian Hall 3*oS/ door, which turned out to be the ladies’ room.

There are wide stairways to either side of the regular seats and a balcony which stretches over the dance floor on two sides, in counterpoint to the viewers. These two surfaces were put to good use in'the first dance piece, a fast-moving, comic number choreographed by Betsy Wagner and Cindy leke. The dancers entered the scene from the stairways at either side, and at various times ran up and down these same stairs to dance, play and hide from the audience. Good effect. It also had the effect of introducing most of the cast, all of whom are in the Dance Repertory course given by the Department of Physical Education. ’ telescope.

When production is running at its regular rate, the ovens are about 90 percent black. It’s only during times of economic recession, when work is shortened, and a lot of departments are down and shifts are decreased, that a mixture of white and black guys come down from different departments. About a year ago, Bethlehem officials admitted that they put blacks in the coke ovens because they thought they were better suited for those conditions.

I told him that at one point the day before, when Kwas going in to lid an oven, I had caught a couple of mouthfuls of this choking smoke and that fire flashed up from the oven, forcing me to back away. A flame could shoot out ten feet in diameter. As 1 moved back, I couldn’t see and was very close to falling into another deep hole, which was about twelve feet away. The doctor explained that this had resulted from my lack of familiarity with the job and wasn’t anything to be seriously concerned about. He warned me to be more careful in looking for these holes. While I spoke to the doctor, he explained a theory he had developed over the years. The only real problem in the coke ovens was that guys from other departments who were transferred down there when work was short were accustomed to an easier workload and would always complain, he said. The doctor added that guys hired just off the street and into the coke ovens (they hired right off Jefferson Avenue) worked satisfactorily year in and year out and didn’t make trouble or complain about the conditions.

Monday, 5 May 1975 i Overloading and malfunctions in the central computer at Ridge Lea have reached a crisis stage for students and faculty. The situation will probably grow worse before it gets better. Students from the School of Management, as well as other research disciplines which require computer correlation for their programs, face a “short-circuiting of the education process” according to Arun Jain, an assistant professor of Operations Analysis, who teaches both graduate and undergraduate classes. He said his students no longer have an opportunity to complete their course work without frustrating delays. Computer inefficiency has been a problem on this campus for several years, but in the last two months, the main CDC6400 computer has been “down” (inoperable) for extended periods of time due to suspected power failures, lost file modifications, and errors introduced into the permanent file system as attempts were made to reload backup tapes. The post of director of University Computing is currently vacant pending negotiations between President Robert Ketter and an applicant who will be selected by a screening committee. Temporary director Charles Moll agreed that the central computer is “saturated.” Present estimates of computed input range unofficially from two to four times its intended capacity, but “we are close to a configuration that would solve the general computer problems,” Mr. Mall stressed. Rectification begun The wheels began turning to rectify the situation on March 7, when current and projected computing needs of the University were outlined in a Request for Proposal (RFP). Vendor proposals, bids designed to meet the needs collected in the RFP, are due to be submitted to a selection committee today. The committee will then review, evaluate and select the best proposal. Barring special arrangements, the earliest possible date for replacement of present equipment is August 1975V but Mr. Moll stated that a more realistic date would be January or February 1976. This anticipated delay is expected to worsen the computer services crisis in the fall especially if the number of Management students increase considerably. Computer use will increase an estimated 25 percent and further burden the already overloaded services. Marty Schoen, an undergraduate Management student, said students are sadly apathetic to their own plight. Dr. Jain concurred that students and faculty must become more actively involved to accelerate the upgrading of computing services. j New minority medical clinic concentrates on prevention Black medical and nursing students from the State University at Buffalo are currently operating a unique clinic that specializes in preventive medicine, providing routine check-ups for patients before they get sick. Gregory Morton, director of the Inner City Well Health Center and a senior medical student here, explained that patients who simply want a physical examination must usually wait in over-crowded waiting rooms where the “sick are seen first.” The clinic alleviates this problem, he explained. Rapport government. “Much of the equipment is second-hand, but it’s all in good condition. We are currently in the market for microscopes and other items which will help us expand our preventative services to the community,” said Mr, Morton. In addition to providing these special medical services, Mr. Morton hopes the clinic will encourage minorities to enter health-related professions. He indicated that nay senior or junior high school student is permitted to observe the clinic in action. Although preventive services are free to the entire Buffalo community, staff positions (all volunteers) are limited to minorities. The center is open Saturdays, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. It is located at the UB Educational Opportunity Center, 465 Washington Ave. The Center’s volunteers hope to secure a new location closer to the “Fruit Belt.” “Such a location would make us more accessible to the elderly and others who may have a problem getting to us now,” Although it does not treat illnesses, Mr, Morton said the clinic has ,‘excellent” rapport with local hospitals, clinics and physicians so that “if someone comes in who really needs treatment we can make an immediate referral.” The center has operated for the past two years, and is financed by the medical school’s student Mr. Morton said. �Statistics box £-p*tP C//A\K?IQ>* SJk4U0WE£ 23rd Annual Buffalo Invitational Track Meet, May 3 at Sweet Home High School.

Player Bulls pitching excels with two one-hitters by Dave Hnath Contributing Editor Fast moving ultimate frisbee Buffalo’s Ultimate Frisbee team opened and closed its first season with a well-played 43-38 loss to the Rochester Institute of Technology (R.l.T.) Tigers. The contest was played at R.l.T.’s indoor athletic complex April 26. Ultimate Frisbee is a fast-moving, competitive, noncontact sport played by two seven-man teams. One point is scored when a player successfully passes the frisbee to a teammate standing in the end zone which his team is currently attacking. The Frisbee may be moved only through the air. No player may walk, run, or take any steps while in possession of the Frisbee.. The baseball Bulls opened their eight-games-in-five-days session Saturday on Peelle Field, squeaking by Canisius 1-0 on John Buszka's one-hit shutout in the opener. Then freshmen Mike Betz and Dave Borsuk combined on a second one-hitter in the nightcap for an 11-2 win that completed the twin-bill sweep. The opener was a classic pitching duel between Buszka and the Griffin’s Bill Leonard. Neither team crossed the plate until the seventh when the Bulls spoiled Leonard’s whitewash bid. Buffalo second-baseman Larry Whelan opened the inning with one of the Bulls’ six singles. Jack Kaminska then executed the Bulls’ ubiquitous sacrifice-bunt play perfectly, leaving first base open for Leonard to intentionally walk Bull left-fielder Dan Gorman. Following a fly ball, hot hitting Bob Amico then laced his second of four hits for the day to centerfield, bringing home the winning run. Stop that frisbee The defensive team can gain possession by an interception, striking the frisbee while in flight, causing it to fall to the ground, or if the offensive team does not complete a pass. In each case, possession is gained at the point where the frisbee is stopped. Don O’Sullivan, who led the Bulls’ attack with Pin-point control Bulls third Buszka’s performance was by far the best showing by a Buffalo pitcher this year. The junior left-hander gave up just one walk to go with the lone hit, a double by Canisius leadoff hitter Jerry Przybylski. At one point, John struck out eight of nine batters, failing only on Przybylski’s double. He finished with eleven strikeouts. The second game proved to be a hit parade. After his squad took an early 9-1 lead, Buffalo coach Bill Monkarsh paraded eighteen men through the Bulls’ line-up, providing punch for Betz and Borsuk. Betz looked particularly impressive, striking out five of the ten batters he faced in three innings. Penn, Scoring streaks The Tigers, who have been playing the sport for nearly five years, then used their experience and scored 13 of the next 14 goals. With the score 13 to 2 a determined Buffalo team fought back to trail by only three. The score was 21-18 at the end of the first half. Aroused by the Bulls’ late first half rally, R.I.T. quickly ran off a streak of seven straight goals to open the second half. At this point, the Bulls called time-out and came roaring back to within three goals, but R.I.T, proved to be equal to the task by holding off repeated attempts by the Bulls to tie the score. “We were very happy with our showing,” said club president Gary Stuber in reference to his team’s near upset against a better and more experienced R.I.T. club. school wins track meet by Dan Greenbaum Spectrum Staff Writer Edinboro State College from saw and came, Pennsylvania conquered five other teams in the 23rd annual U.B.

Schumacker also had a big day with six goals and nine assists. Edinboro’s showing strong came not only because they were able to win so many events but because their depth allowed them more than one place to competitor in each event. They swept two events (mile run and pole vault) and placed at least two men in nine events. Malady and Stephens star numerous distractions. “I think I can win it if I could shining lights for the Bulls.

Though Eldred Stephens won only one event, he came in second and third in.two others, and won the trophy for the highest scorer in the tournament for the second year in a row. He could have scored higher had he won the triple jump, an event he usually excels in, but he was bothered by while running for his last jump, causing him to foul. Stephens’ main competition in the event was RIT’s Fred Clark, who bettered the meet record for the triple jump by a foot. The only other record to be broken was by pole vaulter Rick Motter of Edinboro, who cleared 14’6”. NEWMAN CAMPUS MINISTRY Ascension Thursday, May 8th Main St. Campus Masses 15 University Awe.

Ten return to Haas Lounge at p.m. with a formal response. by Amy Dunkin Managing Editor More than 300 students demonstrated outside Hayes Hall yesterday to vent their anger at President Robert Ketter’s refusal to answer a list of four demands at a general meeting of the student body at noon Dr. Ketter was meeting inside his Hayes office with representatives from several campus constituencies to answer questions about the events surrounding last week’s arrest Three of the 12 groups invited to the meeting in Dr. Ketter’s office chose to boycott because they were angered that several of the groups who signed the demands were not asked to attend. Throughout the day. Dr. Ketter defended the actions be quell took to the student demonstration last Friday. Students reassembled in Haas Lounge later in the afternoon, and called for a strike Monday to demonstrate student solidarity for the demands and other grievances regarding the future of the Day Care Center, the dismissal of professors without explanation, and attacks on the more radical Colleges. Heading the list of demands, which was signed by individuals representing campus nineteen organizations and presented to Dr. Ketter Wednesday, was a request that the administration immediately drop all charges against the students arrested at the Hayes Hall sit-in last Friday. Student rights the Additionally, groups demanded that the administration “recognize the right of the student to have governments control over their funds.” refrain from calling city police onto campus, and establish a civil Campus review board for Friday, 2 May 1975 of New York at Buffalo 2:45 The second student meeting commenced with a breif recap of the events of the last two weeks and a pledge to fight for student rights and interests. “If we don’t reposnd to Ketter and his undemocratic way of running this University, we’ll all be bulldozed under,” one speaker said. Another announced that because Dr. Ketter did not answer the demands at noon, his response could be interpreted as a negative the various constituencies on campus. SA President Michele Smith entered Dr. Ketter’s office at three o’clock but left the meeting a few minutes later after stating, “I feel this is not an appropriate forum and I am going to leave.” However, SA Executive Vice President Art Lalonde remained, claiming that his attendance was mandated by a resolution passed by the Student Assembly earlier this week calling for Dr. Ketter to justify his actions “before an independent commission of faculty and students.” Good faith Asked why many of the groups signed that the demands, the Attica including Support . to invite planned speakers, "but they didn’t even know who was going to speak . . . Clearly an educational program had not been defined.” It was at this point that the students demonstrators convened outside Hayes Hall. Although the chanting was clearly audible. Dr. Ketter ordered the meeting to continue.

Failure to appear at this meeting, they warned, would be considered a negative reply on the part of the administration. Late Wednesday afternoon. Dr. Ketter consented to hold a meeting in his office yesterday at 3 p.tn. to be broadcast live over WBFO radio and the Norton Hall public address system. He invited representatives from the Student (SA). Association Graduate Student Association (GSA), the Millard Fillmore, Medical and Dental SA’s, the Student Bar Faculty-Senate, Association, Professional Staff Senate. CSFA, The Spectrum, and the Reporter. In response to the students’ demands. Dr. Ketter sent Ron Stein, associate Director of the Office of Student Affairs, to the general meeting in Haas Lounge yesterday at noon. Although Mr. Stein did not make any publicannouncement at that time, he informed the crowd through a that he would spokesperson one. “But let's hear what Dr. Stein has to say," the speaker conceded Dr. Stein's announcement lasted no more than five minutes. He said Dr Keller would address all quesions at the 3 p.m. meeting in his office that would be broadcast over WBFO and that listeners could call in “Dr. Ketter has chosen this as the boradest forum to possible anser questions.” Dr. Stein concluded. The crowd, disappointed that Stein did not state the Dr administration’s position on the demands, responded with cries of “Where is Ketter? We’re calling out to him.” At 3:15, the students voted to march peacefully to Hayes Hall for 20 minutes. Campus Security officers were doors in riot unauthorized stationed at gear to persons the prevent from entering Incantations The students marched around the building twice, chanting, “Hands off the UB 10, drop the charges now.” They then stopped in front of Dr. Ketter’s office, and with a bullhorn to the window, began shouting “Attica means frenzied fight back” in the rhythm of an incantation. There were also cries of "We want Ketter’s ass.” The group then paraded back to Norton Hall where it decided to endorse a student strike of classes Monday and to meet this afternoon at one p.m. in Haas Lounge. “We want to organize other people. If each member of the group recruits one person, we will double the figure from 500 to 1000,” said Dave Strong of the Attica Support Group Meanwhile, the Student Bar Association, the Dental SA, and The Spectrum had agreed to boycott the meeting in Dr. Ketter’s office to protest the exclusion of many campus representative groups. Dr. Ketter said later that he had invited the organizations he tel* represented Group and NYPIRG, were not invited to the meeting. Dr. Ketter said SA was permitted to bring two people of its choice and that Group two Support Attica members had declined to attend "We believe that we have acted in good faith and that SA has been acting in good faith." he said responded He then to a question by Phyllis Schaffner.

Stringer case in which the Court ruled that an allocation by the State University at Albany SA for buses to a demonstration in Washington was illegal. GSA Treasurer Bert Herbert reflected that Ketter’s Dr decision to veto the SA allocation as interpreted be might reactionary. OK Dr Ketter explained, however, that he was simply not convinced of the social, cultural, recreational the or educational value of Albany expedition. There was an almost identical request on April 2nd which looked OK at first. Dr Ketter said “But after the fact, we found that most of what the supporters said would happen never happened,” he explained. He said students told him they planned to view the legislature in session between one and two p m. "but upon making a phone call we learned that the legislature did not even meet until after 2:30.” The students also indicated they had plans to attend Assemblyman Arthur Eve’s speech before the legislature, “but we phoned Mr, Eve, and he said he had no plans to make such an address; and that he might not even.be in Albany at the time .” explained Ketter the Dr. demonstrators declined the offer. “The door was physically barred, the students refused to open up the building, and we could not even talk with them,” Dr. Ketter said. George Hochfield. Chairman of the Faculty Senate, then asked if the students participating in the demonstration were sufficiently warned of the consequences of their actions. “I feel that there was adequate warning, and most knew the consequences,” Dr Ketter replied. “For over an hour we tried to convince the students (to open up access to the office), then we finally gave them five minutes warning to clear the area.” Asked if he felt the ten students were suspended adequately informed of their right to a show-cause hearing. Dr. Ketter stated, “I assume that a person is able to read, and this is the first time that the confusion has occurred.” Trained for disorder Dr. Hochfield also asked if the Campus Security force had been recently trained for campus disorders, and if Dr. Ketter was satisfied with their performance during last week’s events. President University Vice Albert Somit explained that all Security officers must attend special training schools where they learn “crowd control.” According to Dr. Somit, Campus Security was not armed with guns or equipped with riot-helmets. “They behaved very well and did not use excessive force, despite severe provocation,” Dr. Ketter asserted. Dr. Ketter also said the increased presence of Security on campus is justified, citing the demonstration outside the meeting as indicative of the need. “When the level of activity comes down,” Dr. Ketter said, “so will Campus Security.” Dr. Hochfield asked why it was necessary to subject the 10 —continued on page 2— �Daycare problems cog, nue Early Childhood Development Center may halt operations by Rosalie Zuckerman Spectrum Staff Writer her to the next meeting.

TICKEtRON OUTLETS 23- �Prison reform bills unveiled by Sparky Alzamora Subcommittee, which virtually guarantees that they will, be voted upon by the State Legislature, they were previewed by representatives from concerned citizen groups, civil liberties and Campus Editor State Assembly Democrats have unveiled bills on prison reform which they termed “the first phase of a program that will make good on the promises made after the Attica uprising.” The co-sponsors of the bills, Assemblymen Saul Weprin, Chairman of the Correctional Institutions Subcommittee, and Stanley Fink, Assembly Codes Committee Chairman, were determined to push for reform measures that “would close down any institution found unsafe, unsanitary or inadequate.” , The Assembly is expected to vote on the bills within the next two weeks. Some of the key measures of the package seek to establish a Division of Prison Health Services, educational rehabilitation youth in programs for correctional facilities, and secure a procedure . of due process to enact safeguard the rights of prisoners facing severe disciplinary action. the reform Additionally, measures would give inmates the right to see and answer written reports on parole and probation that the hearings, and require Parole Board include two former inmates among its members. “The other bills in the package have significance in that they address themselves to a wide variety of long-standing and justified inmate grievances,” Mr. Fink asserted. Before the bills were reported by the Codes Committee legal rights organizations. “The conference gave us the opportunity to go through this legislation line with people who are in daily contact with inmates and prison life. It was a proof-reading session with experts that will help us make these measures as relevant as possible,” said Mr. Fink “It takes a catastrophe to accomplish' anything,” said Mr. Weprin, who believes the move for prison reform stemmed from the tragedy of the Attica uprising in 1971. “It’s a problem in our society that they [people] need a shock to react,” he maintained. He said certain legislators had tried to enact prison reforms over the past four years, but these recommendations were often killed in committee. Mr. Weprin feels the present administration in is “much more Albany sympathetic” to the problems of prison reform. Roy Lansky, a research analyst in the subcommittee on Prison and Correctional Institutions, claimed the Republicans had much to do with the delay in implementing such reforms. In areas of high crime, politicians of their constituents who believe in the “lock ’em up and throw away the must bow to the wishes key” philosophy, he explained. However, Mr. Weprin would not pinpoint the blame on the Republicans, stating that people had different reasons for opposing the reform measures. If the bills pass the State Legislature, most would be effective immediately within two months of the passage, Mr. Weprin said. “Most of the items in this package don’t require that muchmoney,” he explained, stressing that this factor will probably have a favorable influence on many legislators. Shut-downs? One important recommendation of the package is the establishment of a permanent investigage the prisons. The committee would ultimately have the power to close down any committee problems to in correctional institution that did not abide by standards set by this body. , prison is obsolete, according to Mr. Weprin. Eighty-five percent of the prisoners actually need medium or minimum security facilities. These prisoners, who will be in jail for relatively short periods of time, could be transferred to other quarters preferably unused Catholic convents rented by the state, he said. But the eventual shut-down of such large fortresses, like Attica, will be difficult, Mr. Weprin admitted. Mr. Weprin said he hoped that most New York prisons would adopt a program similar to the one currently underway at Bedford Hills prison, where an outside organization (Chase Manhattan Bank, in this case) Attica prisoners occupational once they leave the institution. After gaining skills in different areas, “they won’t go back to crime,” Mr. Weprin offers training believes. Generally, prison officials have reacted favorably to the reform measures, and, many believe, are willing to act in the best interests of the prisoners if the bills go into effect. Mr. Weprin is pleased by the new breed of prison guards that is gradually replacing the old line. They are younger and more educated, “a change for the better,” he declared. One obstacle blocking the move for prison reform is the attitude people have towards the prisoner. “They would rather not be bothered with them,” said Mr. Weprin. Altering these attitudes would take a “change in atmosphere” to alleviate such callous feelings, he asserted. Hill sentence delayed; defense charges probed by Sherrie Brown voices of about 100 supporters shouted slogans outside in support of the Attica brothers. Court guards quickly shut the windows but the voices could still be heard. Contributing Editor The sentencing of Dacajeweiah (John Hill) has been postponed until May 7 by State Supreme Court Justice Gilbert H. King so that a hearing can be held to consider defense charges of government misconduct which may result in a mistrial. William Kunstler, defense attorney for Dacajeweiah, told the court Wednesday that he would argue government suppression of evidence misconduct on five grounds under selective prosecution, withholding of unilateral defense access to prison parole records, the invasion of the defense camp by an informer, the tainting of the jury and the inclusion of Charley Joe Pernasalice in Dacajeweiah’s Mr. Kunstler, raising his voice, spoke of the injustice of the trial and the loss of morality in the country. Judge King then shouted, “I am happy to live in this country, I think it’s a great country,” to which Mr. Kunstler retorted, “Dacajeweiah may rot in jail the rest of his life because the country yo.if love so much would not give him a fair trial.” — “In essence,” Mr. Kunstler continued, “I am hoping for a miracle in this courtroom, I am asking for the semblence of some justice. Discussing his changing views of American justice since first becoming a lawyer, he said, “It’s hard to stand before a judge and say everything you thought you believed in was a lie.” Going through the courtroom process is like playing “charades,” he asserted. trial. Investigation suppressed Mr. Kunstler cited as evidence of selective prosecution reports by Malcolm Bell, who resigned from his position as Attica assistant special prosecutor because his superiors allegedly prevented him from investigating the crimes committed by state officials. Mr. Kunstler charged that Mr. Bell’s report had been “deliberately suppressed” by Justice Carmen F. Ball (who is in charge of all the Attica related trials) since he received it on January 30. “We have grave doubts about your impartiality in this think is demonstrable,” Mr. Kunstler told the Judge. Mr. Kinstler then discussed the testimony of Mary Jo Cook, an FBI informer who allegedly supplied the FBI with specific information about Dacajeweiah and his defense’s legal and courtroom strategy. Discussing the “open and wanton tainting” of the jury, Mr. Kunstler pointed to the “dangerous” fact that the jury was escorted to meals by the same division of the Erie County sheriffs deputies that were involved in the Rebuttal Special state prosecutor Louis Aidala responded to Mr. Kunstler’s charges, maintaining that “like in the trial, Mr. Kunstler continues to argue without foundation.” He said the criminal law codes Mr. Kunstler cited as grounds for dismissal were not related to the trial. He also said the charges of jury tainting were groundless, as was Ms. Cook’s testimony since it did appear on the record during the trial and were therefore irrelevant. case, whiph we 1971 retaking of prison. Pricky remark He also related that one of the alternate jurors, who was dismissed from the case, told the defense that one of the police guards called defense attorney Margret Ratner “a prick” in front of the jury. Although the juror was present and willing to testify, Judge King said he would not allow him to until he had signed an affidavit. Judge King said he would require a signed affidavit before hearing the testimony of a ijewsman who told the defense that he was informed by four jury members before deliberations began that they were going to convict the defendants. Despite claims by the defense that requiring the newsman to file an affidavit instead of ordering him to testify would endanger his job, the judge upheld the ruling. William Kunstler (left), attorney for Dacajewiah, expresses his views on the postponement of sentencing and denial of bail for his client outside County Hall on Wednesday. On hand for the legal circus was Dennis Banks, a leader of the American Indian Movement (AIM), of Wounded Knee fame. The informed the defense that he would willingly testify if summoned but did not want to reveal his name beforehand. Mr. Kunstler called the inclusion of Mr. Pernasalice in the case a “fraud.” He then stated that prosecution witness Melvin Rivers told the defense after the trial that another prosecution witness, Edward Zimmer, who was with him the entire morning William Quinn was killed, had lied about seeing Mr. Pernasalice strike the prison guard. newsman Shouting match At this point, a shouting match developed in the courtroom between Mr. Kunstler and Judge King as the Refuting the charge that Mr. Pernasalice’s presence in the case was a “fraud,” Mr. Aidala said, “I don’t know who dreams up these evil thoughts,” but, “it takes a lot of imagination, and reveals more about the person who has the thoughts than anyone else.” He then proceeded to defend the jury, which he said is “to be complimented for their verdict. Let there be no question here, that the defendants had a jury of their peers. “On the jury, we had an example of young people who did their duty,” Mr. Aidala continued. “1 want the community to know that there are some good young people here,” he said. Mr. Kunstler requested that Dacajeweiah be given bail due to the new developments. However, the judge refused the request, claiming that he did not have the authority to release someone on bail who had been convicted of a Class A felony. He then censured Mr. Kunstler for supposedly telling the press that he did indeed have that right, instigating a headline in the New York Post which said “Kunstler Rips Attica Judge.” 2 May 1975 .

University Master Plan to shape academic operations 71 individual campus master plans throughout the state, establishes guidelines for the academic future by Kim Weiss Spectrum Staff Writer The new State University at Buffalo Master Plan, which will dictate the University’s academic operations for at least the next four years, should be ready for approval by the SUNY Central Administration by the end of June. Formulation of an original draft of the plan by former Vice President for Academic Affairs Bernard Gelbaum stirred up considerable controversy last year. New York State Education Law mandates that the State University prepare a state-wide master plan every four years. The SUNY Central plan, which consists of edited versions of the of each campus. Ultimately, the S tate University of Buffalo’s master plan will go to the State Board of Regents for review of its many provisions, according to Robert Berner, Dean of the Division of Continuing Education, who is also deputy coordinator for the development of the plan here. ‘Missions’ The plan is, in effect, an application to the Board of Regents for instituting new programs or phasing out old ones. Each state campus has been instructed by SUNY Central to indicate any major changes in their academic offerings in the Master Plan. A “mission” is considered one of 24 general areas of study specified in the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS), which includes the fields of Architecture, Law, Psychology, Social Sciences, and Data Processing Technology. Buffalo offers 20 out of the 24 possible missions. Agriculture, Home Economics, Military Science and Theology are the four missing areas. Academic missions here have reamined the same over the last ten years and there will be no changes made this year either. Dr. Berner explained. “We shall simply reiterate our previous academic mission status,” he said. Pannil and The best minds S—F in are at THE LITTLE PROFESSOR BOOK CENTER.

At the end of April 1886, more than 100,000 workers in and around the city were out on strike, including those from the McCormick Harvester works, which was notoriously anti-labor. On May 1, 1886, the workers of Chicago demonstrated in the streets in one of the largest gatherings ever held there, before or since. It was a peaceful demonstration. On May 3, August Spies, a veteran labor leader, spoke at a mass meeting of workers. McCormick Police attacked the workers and six of them were murdered.

Among the marchers were Ishmael Flory, now chairman of the Illinois Communist Party, and Joe Cook, a Communist who was also a leader of the Steel Workers Organizing Committee (SWOC). Communists in the lead Mr. Cook, who was a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, was elected president of the Valley Molde Lodge of the Steelworkers Union, one of the country’s first Black Presidents of a union local where the vast majority of the workers were white. Many marchers carried signs saying “We remember Memorial The Day Memorial Massacre had occurred only 1 1 months before near the Republic Steel works. Company goons and Chicago police had murdered ten men in an unprovoked assault on a union organizing demonstration. Among the dead were two Communists: Sam Popovich and Hilding Anderson.

Thereby, in effect, they lent labor support to the policy that brought an average loss of 10 percent in purchasing power to workers while profits smashed all records. Today the working class is moving into new areas of struggle. There is a growing sturggle against racism. There -is a growing movement for rank-and-file democracy in many unions. A drive to organize the unorganized is needed, especially among Black and other minority workers, and new areas of struggle. There is a growing fight to defend the people’s living standards, which deteriorating as inflation increases and the country passes through one crisis after another. are Unity and discipline Hie militant iaoor neritage that began here in Chicago in 1886 provides a solid foundation for achieving these goals, and May Day is the best time for taking stock and planning ahead. On this May 1st, 1975, the State University at Buffalo has also tasted the repressive atmosphere and force of an Administration represented by Robert Ketter and the big business interests of the area. Students cannot use their own voted funds without having the administration sanction it. The right to protest is met by force not reason. This attitude stems from the century-old falsehoods which propagandists have into the U.S. labor movement that the workers of the U.S. are not a class, like the workers of other lands, that they have a common interest with those who employ them, and don’t need to express themselves in a class conscious way. The truth is that the workers of the U.S. do wage a class struggle, and often fight militantly and long as a class! The glaring fact that stands out this May Day is that the leaders of most unions, and the AFL-CIO instilled - For are mood first against the capitalist “establishment” over the rising cost of living, job insecurity, the multinational corporation trend, the prohibitive cost of health care, and the social and political International holiday The AFL requested the Second International to support its fight for the eight-hour day. The world’s working class leaders did so at the Second International’s First Congress, in Paris in 1889, voting to make May I, 1890, a labor day for world-wide demonstration. Since then, May Day has been an international labor holiday.

The false ideology of racism, and the false idea that people are basically stupid or crazy is reinforced in the public mind by horror stories of increasing crimes, complete with close-up telophoto shots of bullet riddled bodies and blood-soaked sidewalks. No where is there an analysis of why crime exists, or the relationship between increasing crime, unemployment, poverty and lack of national direction or rational goals. Yet, the working people of this country continue to produce the goods and services that has given our country so much, without so much as a thank you. - Worker’s representation - But like our ancestors of the 1880’s, today’s American workers are pulling together to turn back the tide of unemployment and poverty. On April 26, an estimated 60,000 to 70,000 workers marched in Washington to demand full employment, an end to racial and sexual discrimination, the slashing of the military budget and the implementation of improved social services. These are the first steps to setting our nation on the right track. While some people are “blue collar” workers and others “white collar," a majority of them have something in common: 87 percent are wage-workers, with little say in determining economic policies. Only when this 87 percent ultimately gains representation in all economic, social and political institutions will the basic interests of the American people be secured. Last Great Show of the Year!

They are a model of dereliction of duty. Farm workers’ wives are treated abominably. To their husbands, they are the most convenient persons to denounce, blame, repress. The migrant labor system is grounded in an ages-oid deception called piecework where workers are paid in accordance with how much they produce. This promotes quantity-mindedness and division among the workers by inciting them to incredibly Health clinics? Some time ago, a group of farmers created a “migrant clinic” in Silver Creek, which was open one night a week in a local firehouse.

President Robert Ketter's refusal to meet with a unified group of students last Friday provoked violence, 10 arrests, and a general mood of unrest for the last seven days. By continuing to dodge such a forum Wednesday and Thursday, he has left even fewer channels open to students, Dr. Ketter's intransigence in declining the Attica coalition's demands, and his seemingly magnanimous choice of a meeting with certain select constituencies to be broadcast over campus radio, reinforced the coalition's impression that he wifi meet with select students only on his own bureaucratic terms.

II can’t understand why people say bad things about Nazi Germany. Don’t they know those people were undergoing a severe economic depression before they turned nasty?) It’s outrageous the way this society treats poor people. The government is only spending 40 percent of its budget on welfare and related programs. And in N.Y.C. in 1974 only 70 percent of people indicted for homicide got off with probation through plea bargaining. The Spectrum deserves to be commended for its objective coverage of the Attica trial Both cases, prosecution and defense, were published In entirety and after reading both of them would could think the brothers weren’t innocent? - Lately, progressive people around U.B. have been saying things about the Attica issue that make a lot of sense. The Attica brothers are, of course, political prisoners, since they’re poor, and should all get amnesty. Poor people who commit crimes in the future should not be put in jail anymore. I would say. people who make below S6000 a year should be allowed to kill and steal at will Anyway they’d only do it once after they got their psychological treatment they’d be cured. Psychologists can cure anything. Besides, crime is chiefly an economic phenomenon. It's obvious that a human being is just - a machine that will kill and steal when it’s poor, and Steven R.

If we made all poor people demands, except within the confines of his office, Dr. Ketter Attica supports a vocal minority has left only one channel open To the l:ilih>r — continued demonstrations and boycotts.

Nevertheless. I seriously question the value of spending students’ money to send a few people to demonstrate support here and there. Will these demonstrations make a difference? I think not Secondly, is the desire to spend money on a protest really the wish of the majority of students here, or only a small vocal minority.

It stated that Dr. Lawler has not been - Some observers have suggested that a strike will be a waste of time because most students will be busy studying for finals or too apathetic to give such an effort the mass support it requires. While this may be so, it is also true that the Attica coalition's momentum has peaked and is sure to die once the semester ends, at least until September. It is imperative that students remain out of classes to remind the Administration that its actions of last week will not be tolerated. It is incumbent upon every student who has been involved until now to make a special effort to round up support from many other students, and for all students to spend Monday educating each other on the need for change Page eight . The Spectrum . 2 May 1975 I can’t help but see the irony that has recently rampant here at U.B. Namely, the Ketter Administration has once again displayed the most uncritical judgement in “policy decisions” (if, indeed, it has them), in the dismissal of Dr. James Lawler. Again, as with the Attica Bussing issue, the academic-educational criteria has shrouded the real political-educational reason. Professor Lawler, it is well known, is an ardent advocate of the left of center position one that is obviously intolerable to the present administrators. This is the real reason why he was fired. There can be no doubting it, in light of recent weeks. The argument by Drs. Ertell and Butler are not only a rehash of Gelbaum’s edicts last year, but, in all of their candor, they have not even bothered to change the language. Dr. Butler said, “Dr. Ertell gave serious consideration to Dr. Lawler’s academic record (but it was) not as strong as other faculty members.” This is verbatum the language which Dr. Gelbaum used last run - even on published in reputable journals. However, a recent article entitled “Hudegger’s Theory of Metaphysics Dialectics” recently appeared in the & internationally reputed journal Philosophy <$ Ertell Phenomenological Research. Drs. Butler cannot bg unaware of this journal; for it is published here at U.B.! I am sure of this because as provost ot the Social Sciences faculty, Dr. Butler generally has a recent copy of hand (or at least on desk) in his & office. I sometimes wonder, seriously, if administrators actually take a look at academic achievement in their evaluation. One thing is for sure in the case of Dr it is Lawler that this decision is not academic - - - political. Thomas Roger �by Jay Boyar Arriving in town in good time to stem or, better, change the flood) of June weddings is Swedish director Ingmar Bergman's latest film. Scenes From A Marriage is the story of John and Marianne, which starts by showing them complacent in union. Bergman describes it this way: "John and Marianne are conventional and set in their ways and believe in material security. They have never found their middle-class way of life oppressive or false. They have conformed to a pattern which they are prepared to pass on," — — tide (the In the course of the movie they meet the horrible doubts that those problems inherent in living eventually seek out their marriage — intimately and indefinitely with each other. We see them divorced and then in their post-marital affair with each other. And all of the scenes, especially the ones in which they are divorced, are scenes from a marriage. Swedish boob tube I wMk M0 Originally, the movie was a t.v. series; six 50-minute segments made for Sweden's small screens. In its present form, it has been trimmed down and spliced together into a nearly three-hour version. I find myself wondering to what extent the knowledge that it would be appearing on television influenced Bergman to stick to close-ups and two-shots as much as he did. Hard to say. Still, I don't think that Bergman would have initially attempted a subject to be shown on television tha did not, in some sense, jive with the medium. By the very nature vpf the subject explored, Scenes From A Marriage, t.v. or no t.v., would have demanded some concentration on the faces and bodies of the two principal characters. The camera is used suggestively to help define relationships. As John and Marianne are drawn together in love, we see them framed in the same shot; when they are angry or upset, the camera subtly separates themm. Camera In the last scene called "In the Middle of the Night in a Dark they snuggle together in love and House Somewhere in the World" trust as their faces seem to melt into a unified, comfortably warm, orange glow. And in the scene called "Paula" when John walks out on Marianne, the screen is compressed into a small rectangle by the frame of the doorway through which Johan will pass. As they argue and prepare to part, he clutching his huge suitcase while her eyes beg him to stay, we become especially aware of their small, dipolar world and — — its imminent disruption. "It is frightening," says a minor character. "Something peculiar is I mean feeling, sight, hearing happening. My senses are starting to fail me. For instance, I can say that this table is a table. I can see it, I can touch it, but the sensation is thin and dry." For the rest of that — — scene and for a while afterwards, we are inclined to watch the flat screen in terms of that clear, teary statement and to notice the gawky drabness of their middle class surroundings. Faces Playing Marianne and Johan are Liv Ullman and Erland Josephson —continued on page Magic Lantern 8 �Bergman... —continued from page 7— Theirs are the faces and bodies that Bergman's magic camera explores and transforms. He gently allows us to see what is essential. Esquire critic John Simon is clever and right when he says, "Bergman's The Magician is called The Faces in Sweden; and in the present film, truly, the face meets its magician." Liv Ullman's face is a bit like her freckles both on the surface and beneath it, changing drastically (occasionally disappearing) with every change of light. Tiny shades of mood are reflected in that face; the more you get to know her character, the more her face tells you and the other way around. She fills the screen and allows Bergman to she's like a beautiful, glowing capture her charm with his camera cushion. Part of her loveliness is due to the fact that she can, on occasion, look quite drab so it's no surprise when Marianne says of her childhood, "I was rather ugly and clumsy and was constantly informed of the fact." More than any other actress I know, Ullman manages to look, almost simultaneously, plain and pure. — — — Johan As Johan, Erland Josephson is full of surprises. Where Ullmann reveals an emotional character emotionally, Josephson displays his character in surprising turns of speech and quirky facial expressions. At times, he's just a teddy bear a funny, cuddly fellow. Even though Johan is well into middle age, he seems childlike maybe adolescent so that all the clever things he says seem as happily unusual as do acute remarks by a precocious youngster. Johan has more defenses than we're hypnotized as it Marianne, so Josephson's face hides more draws us to him for a closer look. These remarks about the aesthetics of camera and actors are made so that they won't be overlooked in the presence first for emphasis of what is, actually, more important in terms of this film. all fine Despite the occasional entrance of minor characters performances Scenes From A Marriage is mostly a dialogue, in a variety of settings, between Johan and Marianne — — — — Very Hot Tuna Super energy rock-blues reflected in a sound-mesh — — 1,000 words After viewing it, the feeling I got was not the electric elation I often experience after seeing a film I've enjoyed. Instead, I felt much as I do after reading a rich book full of ideas. Until now, I had often questioned the capability of cinematic form to explore an idea with the depth that a novel can. Scenes From A Marriage pushes back the frontiers of film. Using visual as well as verbal methods, the movie shows much truth about human existence and its most common institution. And it does so without tearing you apart, without shrieking or preaching, for that matter, at you. A marriage doesn't end, we see. Whatever passion drew the two figures together initially, and whatever subsequent memories are made together, the feelings will always live in each partner. The marriage never ends and no one ever really, really, says goodbye. Saying the film is something like a book is not at all to say that it is ponderous. It's alive and engaging. And I'm sure no one will imagine that I've compared it to a book because there are subtitles to read. In fact, the version now showing at the Amherst and Holiday theaters is (alas!) dubbed. Bergman has written, a propos of the movie's ending, "My idea now is that two new people begin to emerge from all this devastation. Maybe that is a little too optimistic but I can't help it, that's how it turned out." Those sassy folks who write the ads might do well to stress that the Dark, Dreary Bergman of films past is not especially the Bergman of Scenes From A Marriage.

Eddie's incestuous urges ultimately cost him his respect, his friends, and his life. dramatic "Classics: A Mini Repertory" is the Theater Department's tag for Don Sanders' current productions of Arthur Miller's A View From the Bridge and Bertolt Brecht's The Good Woman of Setzuan at the Courtyard Theater. Miller's work, at least, seems ill-fit for designation as a "classic," its major criterion in that respect being that it's over ‘ twenty years old and still being performed. Though Sanders' production of View is admirable in several respects, such effort is poorly spent on a play whose own virtues are negligible. Eddie Carbone (Tommy Koenig) is a Brooklyn dock worker, and the guardian of his orphaned niece Katie (Jola Siemerz), who is now eighteen. The state of affairs in the Carbone household is "hinted" at with leaden subtlety: Eddie refuses to allow Katie to leave home or to take a secretarial position; he also hasn't slept with his wife Bea (Rebecca Field) for months. The Carbones agree to shelter two "submarines" illegal Italian while they work in immigrants the STates.

Finally, he reports both immigrants Prodigal Sun to the Romeo Unskilled labor Miller has consistently revealed a gift for sensitivity to socio-economic milieus, and it is in evidence in View, quite effectively in the moment when Eddie almost allows Katie to accept the secretarial post, since it'll bring in an unheard-of fifty dollars a week. More importantly, he clearly knows what this kind of family (a lower middle-class one) sounds like in day-to-day life, and how to write dialogue that draws on that knowledge. But these are tools, and Miller's fatal flaw is the use to which he puts them. Eddie Carbone is the kind of primal, almost bestial character Miller understands; had Eddie more tragedy, humor, and sheepish grace, he could be Willy Loman. But the crucial welding of this person with the basically alien aspect of an incestuous drive never takes place. And Miller has focused overwhelmingly on this facet. I cannot believe Miller's Eddie; thus View as a play, is empty at its center. Tfie Carbones contribute a fine continued on page 14 "It took generations to bring them together," as Simon notes in the before-the fact happy ending he tacks onto his autobiographical film masterpiece, inspired to prophecy by a glimpse of a gorgeous young woman (who, naturally, turns out to be Sarah) and her dog running through the sand of a French Riviera beach. In Claude Lelouch's And Now with the dialogue from one scene continuing as a voice-over after the cut, in order to emphasize their "spiritual closeness" and the inevitability of their becomes equally cloying. And eventual meeting the closing shot of the filmmaker's black suitcase gliding along a ramp on top of the heiress' conveniently matching white one about two minutes after they've finally gotten together on a New York-bound jet (and he's listened in astounished joy as she asks the stewardess for a third lump of sugar) — a first-class summing-up extremely heavy-handed technique. serves as Mushy of Lelouch's stuff But this kind of sentimental mush, taken in small doses and helped along by the relative excellence of the first segment, can be a lot of fun anyway. There is fine acting by Charles Denner, who plays both Sarah's father and the bit part of her grandfather. His David Goldman, who made his fortune by selling "the warmest shoes in the world" because his feet were always freezing in the German camp, has a gentle, quiet wisdom and a tenderness My Love, the three generations of historical build-up are compressed into two hours of pretty, romantic fable. But the lovely, light touch with which he begins his fairy tale is soon swept away by Lelouch's super-slick production and excessive cuteness, and the airy whipped cream has congealed by the final frame into a syrupy mass of cinematic gimmickery. Great expectations The opening half hour or so, a Sort of extended montage in which Lelouch details the series of coincidences leading to Sarah's birth, sets our expectations very high. The device by which he brings her maternal grandparents together in the first during their initial meeting in a Paris park, scene he propositions her (we learn from the silent-film titles) while she cranks his "machine for remaking life," la cinimatographe Lumiere, in fascination provides an inspired link with their granddaughter's love affair some 60 years later, and the frozen frames which are revealed as framed photographs in the sequences immediately following are extremely effective. That first beautiful shot of Lumiere's camera, though, is echoed so many times, in so many different situations, that it quickly becomes as boring as the concept first seemed original. Lelouch similarly overworks most of his good ideas, and a lot more (like the regular and quite irrelevant reappearances of French pop idol Gilbert Becaud, Sarah's first love since her father hired him to — — perform between a leading actress' legs) that wasn't all that interesting to begin with. Out of time The beautiful black-and-white sequences of French soldiers fleeing the cannon fire of World War I and concentration camp survivors being transported to safety after the next war during that first half-hour have a sensitivity which the Technicolored images of the rest of the film can't match. Similar attempts to place us "in time" in this second segment generally come down to banal conversations about Kennedy's assassination (She'll never find another man like him." Who knows? Maybe he was a great President and a nothing liver!") or swirling heads of Marilyn Monroe when Becaud learns of her suicide from Sarah. These purely random images and snatches of conversation seem to serve no other purpose than to stress the something contemporaneity of Lelouch's story which he shouldn't need to do in any case. — The director's constant use of parallelism as he the characters of Simon and Sarah cutting back and forth from his milieu to hers, often develops — which helps to make his first meeting with his wife Rachel probably the film's finest sequence. And it is no wonder that his spoiled-rotten daughter so strongly reminds him of Rachel Marthe Keller plays both roles, as well as that of Sarah’s camera-loving grandmother. But after giving us both the flirtatious charm of the turn-of-the-century beauty and the solemn grace of the scarred, scared refugee, Keller seems to have little energy left for the character who needs it most: her jet-setter Sarah is merely a vapidly beautiful shell. The role certainly does demand a certain degree of emotional emptiness; but long before she meets him, Sarah already seems as insubstantial as a figure in Simon's world of cinimatic dreams. Andre Dussollier's young filmmaker, by the way, is just as gorgeous and not very much more real. And Now My Love has been called "Lelouch's masterpiece" by at least one critic, but the director falls far short of master status by any more objective standards than his own.

We are bombarded with it; we find it in the newspapers, on the television, in our reading material. It has almost gotten to the point FBI dragnet of the area, a Treasury Department narcotics agent investigating a local commune suspected of drug trafficking, and an archeological expidition digging up artifacts in an attempt to prove — where a book must place a certain amount emphasis on violence if it hopes to be successful. of So what is Dance Hall of the Dead all about? Violence, of course. But what makes this book unique is the impression these events make on the reader. Violence is not glorified as it is in the typical television show. Death is shown to be quite simply the end of a life, rather than the by product of a flashy gun battle. Here we are removed from the familiar plastic world of huge cities, dashing detectives, and great car chases. Instead, we are presented with the beautiful, — they leave fingerprints.

Eventually everything connects, and as Leaphorn discovers the real identity of the murderer he finds himself the target, with the final showdown occurring high in scorned the mountains of the Zuni reservation. One need not wonder why Dance Hall of the Dead won the Edgar Award for best mystery novel of the year. Unlike many other examples of genre, this novel unfolds a real mystery. At no time does it become prematurely apparent who the killer is, and the veil of suspense is lifted only as gradually as the Cary Trestyn author desires. — serene life of the deserts of New Mexico. It is here that a strange, almost dream like tale of suspense unfolds. Joe Leaphorn, a Navaho reservation policeman, is assigned the task of tracking down the prime suspect in a bizarre Indian ritual murder, a Navaho boy named George Bowlegs. The victim, a member of the Zuni tribe, had his head nearly severed from his body in a manner reminiscent of that used in Indian legend by the kachina (god) Salambia, who would inflict his sacred vengeance on those who had violated the Zuni religion. But barring any intervention by the gods, a murder is a murder, and find Bowlegs. As Leaphorn tracks his target, he appears to be almost an anachronism. His abilities to follow hoofprints and footprints through the desert creates a situation incredibly like that in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and one almost expects Paul Newman to jump out from behind the nearest boulder, guns blazing. Often the whole novel reads Leaphorn sets out to like it is occurring in these bygone days, and the return to the modern leap through time. world seems like a fantastic As-George Bowlegs appears and disappears, the puzzling circumstances of the murder increase in this time the complexity. Another murder occurs victim is Shorty Bowlegs, George's father; once again, the corpse's head has been nearly severed from his body.

INTENSIVE ELEMENTARY GREEK : This course is designed specifically for the latecomer to the Classics, who has discovered a need for Greek as a basis for further classical, philosophical, religious, or literary pursuits. Beck had top billing, so I expected to see the man in white slide onto stage when the lights went out. Instead, I got Beck, looking every inch the classy Britisher in his tight body shirt and velvet jacket. The audience reacted with little more than polite applause: no bunch of fanatics here, but critics, all waiting for the old master to prove himself one more time. The first note: sharp, staccato, trebly, raunchy in the classiest way. The song was "Know What I Mean," the first song on his new album, Blow By Blow, which is where it's at with Beck: Listening to him is not listening to a song, it's listening to each phrase, as it comes up, blow by blow, each one blowing you away in a different direction, building, until the wind is so intense that it knocks you off your chair. Honestly. I would just be recovering enough to get off the floor and back into my seat when another gust would knock me down again. But sometimes punishment is good for you, and eventually I got the hang of turning my face to the wind and the brilliant light without losing my sight, my hearing or my seat. What I heard and saw Perhaps you've heard Beck's new LP. If you far cry from his last incarnation, namely Beck, Bogart and Appice. That band attempted to be the last word in rock raunch: crashingly loud, in the old trio tradition, distortion, feedback, extended solos, the works. By contrast, Beck's new band is at the other end of the pole. No flashy superstar macho complexes constantly conflicting with each other. Just an attempt to do a number of things in the style called for whether that be a tight, punching, background pattern over which Beck can fly, or a mellow, Roy Buchananesque tone poem in which all the instumental colors must merge and flow together. The set Beck did was easily recognizable. He played his album from beginning to end, with one or two oldies thrown in for good measure. Even though I'd noticed the increase of soul influence on the disc at home, somehow, in translation onto the stage, every number was ten times as funky. The sound was better (clearer, more separation) than it's been at the Century for quite some time, and it seems like Beck has gotten together a band of serious, sane musicians for the first time in his career. Maybe because he didn’t have to deal haven't, I can tell you it's a — Berna Areth const. var la keybc clavin passec equal secun mac winds We've came saw with ridiculous personality clashes, maybe because this music is truly personal, maybe because he's finally grown up, maybe because it was the first date on the tour. Whatever it was, the guy was really on, know what I mean? To say Jeff Beck was on is not to describe any ordinary guitarist on a hot streak. Because Beck's genius does not rely on a sense ot speed, flash or volume, which is where most hot licks seem to come from. Rather, Beck is master of the phrase, more important, of the tone of each individual note. Although there were no vocals, the ability this senstivity to sound gave me itself, and the context in which it is heard the feeling of the word; tapping the strings with both hands, getting all kinds of clicks, clacks and clucks, massaging the fretboard for a moaning vibrato, slicing and cutting for squeals. At one point, at the height of a heavy solo, he was playing this incredibly low, super-distorto tone (it vibrated the whole damn theater), and his fingers seemed to get stuck to the neck: his music, or his soul, was a magnet off to the left; through a curtain of limp black hair his lips reached out to it, and it dragged his body, guitar and all, right across the stage. mi lead when picket you g close, oh Go don't to me — — Eye of the storm balcor Orche: people (for sc costur the bl black white turtlet vocal it and di band (the tl The hurricane raged on.

Sometimes we'd be lulled into a sense of false security Beck even started one mellow number sitting in a chair. But before long, he was up again, the trade winds stirring, and by the end of the number ("Cause We've Ended As Lovers"), the storm he had created came back at him, the audience howling and whistling.

It was a ten-piece band altogether, including two horns and three strings (the third was a cello), and as you might expect, the show they put on was in some ways startingly different to me from what Mahavishnu fans have come to expect. Although a few old songs were interspersed throughout the program (like a new, much faster arrangement of "You Know, You Know" from Inner Mounting Flame), the bulk of the set was new material. Although McLaughlin has his roots in "burnt-out jazz" (i.e., Tony Williams Lifetime ) and gutsy, down-toit blues (i.e., Miles Davis' album Jack Johnson), people have come to expect a more "spiritual" sound from Mahavishnu. But this was not the case. Blues, jazz, classical, and most shocking, honest to God nitty gritty boogie were the brands McLaughlin was smoking that night; all done with the lighning fast precision, How about supply service plus & FAIR PRICES?

This almost handicapped him when he made his last important transition to guitar, at the age of 18 or thereabouts.

Well, more often than not, the music at these blown-out affairs was a band called the Cissum Revival, (pronounced Kiss'em Revival). It was comprised of a strange blend of musicians who all had much in common. They wanted to play badly and they all had egos that kept getting in the way. What they lacked in ability and cohesiveness they more than made up for in desire and sheer number. The band consisted more or less of Don Abrams and Gary Brocks on horns, who both recently finished a tour with the O'Jays; Steve Nathan on piano, currently appearing with Barbara St. Clair; Joe Shinta on bass and vocals; Larry Rizzuto on drums; and Michael on guitar. This is worth recounting because it marked the first time Michael appeared with a band as lead guitarist. Well, as they say, the rest is history.

They all have something to do with the epigram, "Winter's death it's spoken at a giant town gives birth to Spring" bonfire when an ancient named "Temperance" barely escapes (or does he?) death and flames with — the straw witch called "Winter." Occasionally, the film jumps around in time; when a "narrator" takes us into the past it's like seeing earlier drawings of the characters in the town. Humor is a consistent element i n Amarcord, but it's not often humor you want to laugh at. Smiles both outward and inward are coupled with emotional malaise to produce the most common reaction to Fellini's peculiar sense of comedy. Topically, the humor ranges very widely, a homely vendor is lured into the bedroom (it looks like a Busby Berkely set) of a luscious harem whose members nod in unison for him to ravish them, a fool faints at a saint's funeral, mass masturbation in — —' A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE — — University Choir The Center for Theatre Research Presents , — Artpark will also be staging, in cooperation with the New York City Opera, The Marriage of Figaro July 31 through August 2, and Tosca August 8 through 10. sale beginning May UUAB Film Coming to the Conference Theater today and tomorrow is Robert Downey's Greaser's Palace. Playing through Sunday is Amarcord directed by Federico Fellini. Amarcord is set in Rimini, a small coastal Italian town, during the later 1930's. Still, it's not so much set there as it sets you there. You actually seem to be somewhere in the cozy town square with its smooth stone walkways, crazy celebrations, and the snow that makes December sequestered. You're there in the spring too, as those celestial, white dandelion puffs float carelessly through the square. Just as you'd grab a puff should it drift past your nose, so you snatch characters, bits of stories, flashes of local color. Most of the characters who eventually become important to the loose story are initially seen in group shots or just standing, strolling, or muttering single lines. A sexy woman with a sense of humor slides around town jammed in a fiery red dress. Her high cheekbones call you to her mouth; it laughs. Walking through town is a stupidly satanic school teacher with a scratchy orange beard be careful. You could cut yourself on it. A frustrated fat boy dreams, and a grizzled old accordian player with black circles for eyes calls another boy a "degenerate." As characters assume importance you remember their earlier, brief appearances because their faces were so vivid in those earlier scenes. Here, Fellini is cartooning a little in order to isolate the people who bear on his story; he chooses actors with particularly expressive faces. It's a technique not very different from using stars (who should have interesting or, at least, recognizable faces anyway) in the key roles except that in Amarcord you feel you know the people from seeing them in earlier shots of the town instead of from seeing them in other movies. It's an effect that is considerably different from that Fellini achieved by using grotesques in some of his past work because in Amarcord, the actors' special facial qualities are more subtle and, happily, more complexly suggestive. The difference is that between a fright mask and rouge. Fellini subdued is Fellini redeemed; the effect assumes a beauty and power A Dustin Hoffman Film Festival will be the featured attraction at the Century Theatre tonight and tomorrow. Harvey and Corky will present Straw Dogs (directed by Sam Peckinpah), Arthur Penn's Little Big Man, and John Schlesinger's Midnight Cowboy, starting at 7:30 p.m. both nights (with the second and third films beginning at two-hour intervals.

In the comic scene where the madman is shouting for a woman up in his tree, it takes a very sure director's hand to avoid making him appear too crazy and the people on the ground (including his family, three doctors, and a stunted nun) appear too sane or, for that matter, to avoid making them seem too ridiculous and him especially rational. Fellini's instincts, here as elsewhere, are good. He views his world and its people with warmth; not patronizingly, "paternally" is better but still not precise. Perhaps "maternally" is best to express the gentleness, sympathy and yes distance in his viewpoint. After watching Amarcord, you want to get out of the dark, tight theater and walk around Rimini to see first-hand the town Fellini has so magically painted. In fact, you want to walk around practically anywhere catching sights and bits of conversation as you go. The-film enriches your perceptions; it makes you want to smile and breathe. What I'm saying, I — — guess, is that it makes you want to live. But before you get on with all that, maybe yes, maybe you will stay and see Fellini's Amarcord just one more time.

This is Wayne movie without some true with specific reference to his latest film Brannigan, currently at the Towne Theater. Within 15 seconds of the start, I knew I was in for trouble John Wayne style. The first glimpse of the film leaves you staring down every possible angle of a shotgun. The music begins fast and brassy as you're waiting for the old cowhand himself to appear. It isn't long until Wayne does appear, in a kind of introduction to the film, to give you a taste of the rough and overconfident super-cop Brannigan. His entrance involves — — appears as the brash and crude American with no taste or style. Soon, a complication develops to keep Brannigan from getting the criminal. He has been kidnapped before Brannigan can even finish his sot and a beer, "an old Polish Brink" as he calls it. The movie progresses as Brannigan works with Scotland Yard to locate the criminal known as Larkin. But even this is too simple to fill a John Wanye movie. Someone hires a killer to take care of Brannigan. It's easy to tell who the hired killer is because bad guys wear dark suits and dark glasses. Blimey! John Wanye runs things his own way, much to the distress of the British. Throughout the film they put down the Americans with snide little remarks, but nothing causes Brannigan to lose faith or confidence. He shows signs of having some brains later, when he discovers how they were tricked with the ransom money. A little action begins when there is a bar-room brawl scene that sets everyone fighting in a chain reaction. It's like any other saloon fight out in the old West, only it's in a London pub and the men wear business suits. Next there is a desperate chase scene that has John Wayne racing through the streets of London in one of the most expensive cars in the world. He even manages the old trick of driving over a rising lift bridge, much to the dismay of the car owner who Changing his Cowboy duds (as in this scene from has been sitting in the seat next to him getting Chisum) for more conventional street clothes doesn't queasy. really matter much to John Wayne in his new movie, Brannigan.

These songs are further undermined by Andersen's practice of using the RECORDS Eric Andersen, Be True To You (Artiste) My first record review.

Eric Andersen has put together an album that reflects his difficulty in finding the right record label for his type of music. As we all know this is a free market economy that buys the potentially profitable dream printing and pressing between covers experiences transformed to music through the artist's blood language. An artist's success depends on his or her accuracy in creating and venting sounds, words, sensations and rhythms of the common experience or the — preoccupations of others. Success, or the pressures of the business world, have crept into Eric Andersen's lyrics. The songs on Be True to You are uninspired, stripped of the rich images that dressed his earlier work. But there are happily notable exceptions that escape the confines of my criticism: "01' 55,” a righteous, rolling, road song written by Tom Waits; "The Blues Keep Falling," a bluesy Fred Neil inspired, out-of-cocaine song; and "Time Runs Like a Freight Train," which is lyrically very strong. The other songs, on the whole, are of the "I, Heartbreaker" variety in which the lyrics sound women. different names Especially after gallivanting through everchanging affairs in the other songs, a tune like "Moonchild Riversong," with its references to such rock-solid images ("I love you like the mountains"), sinks in a meliferious swamp of comic feeling. So, for me, this album offers some feeling of Andersen's talent, yet its general mood is one of reflecting his empty despair but position well enough musically and lyrically, at least, unable to escape his tiredness into — — irony At his best, Eric Andersen like another autobiographical writer, Joni Mitchell is dream. — "So gather all your shattered mirrors — meticulous in pacing a mood: avoiding the cliche or hollow phrase.

To describe the music, I first have to describe the instruments used. There is a very high degree of (and well deserved) reliance on Darryl Way's electric violin, less on Francis Monkman's guitar and synthesizer and least of all on Philip Kohn's bass and Florian Pilkington-Miksa's percussion. Garnish this with Sonja Kristina's intensely harsh and, at least initially, even American country influences the music and leave within well-enough alone.

And you burned your fingers fishing it out when it didn’t pop up. Then the machine heaved a little electronic sigh and stopped toasting altogether. What a storm! And it got worse. Leaving your wife and three kids beneath the shopping-center canopy, you dashed to your new station wagon. Soaked to the skin, you got behind the wheel and turned the key in the ignition. It wouldn’t start. You tried again and aga'in. Nothing. Not a spark. It was a grand dinner. There were even some halfhearted offers to help with the dishes. “No, we bought a new dishwasher,” you announced proudly. You loaded the dishes and joined the company. Uncle Ray was describing his new boat when you noticed the foamy water running across the dining-room floor. Sound familiar? We all remember vividly when things don’t work right. Rut somehow we don't even think about it when our car covers the 2032-milc trip to Canada and back without a hitch, or when the electric coffeepot keeps perking away year after year. There’s just nothing spectacular about the sweeper that sweeps, the oven that bakes, the refrigerator that keeps right on doing its job. No, the fact is that in our minds one malfunctioning product cancels out the thousands that do work. One of the greatest tributes to American industry is the fact that the “lemon” ADVERTISEMENT is news —the fact that bad products are the exceptions that surprise and bother us. The expectations of the American consumer are very high, and the businessman knows it better than anyone else. That’s why he seeks constantly to improve his product and maintain standards. The American Society for Quality Control estimates that .business in this country spends from 8 to 15 cents of every sales dollar to overcome errors, to test, inspect and assure quality. Some examples: On the Tide-detergent production line in Cincinnati, boxes underfilled or damaged in any way arc automatically and literally “kicked” into a reject bin. At the Gillette Company in Boston, every razor blade is ex• • amined for surface imperfections and sharpness. Some employes come to work unshaven each morning to test Gillette (and competitors’) blades under laboratory conditions. At Eli Lilly Corporation in Indianapolis, some pills take as long as 45 days to manufacture. The process is stopped many times for tests of the purity and exact quantity of ingredients. As long as the pills are available on drugstore shelves, a control batch will be tested periodically to ensure potency and safety. At Sears, Roebuck Co. in Chicago, many new products, from air conditioners to shotguns to water pumps, are tested in the field and in • & • Pace twenty . the lab (sometimes to final destruction) before they are ma ketcd. To an alert, competitive company, these efforts are as routine (and as vital) as breathing. “The best sales tool possible,” says one executive, “is a product worth what you pay for it.” But still those negative experiences force their way into our minds. Why can’t we make things more reliable. 5 Why do there have to be any mistakes? To answer such questions, we must measure our expectations as consumers against the realities of the mass market. We must consider what absolute product-perfection would do to prices and volume. Have you ever stopped to think what it would cost to build a television set that would “never” fail or wear out? Many thousands of dollars. And the assembly and inspection procedures would preclude more than a few thousand sets being built each year. Thus, the+iigh quality would be academic for the majority of Americans, who would simply be priced out of the market. Businessmen face a challenge. Do they travel the low road? Cut corners, use the cheapest materials they can get by with? Or do they take the high road —turning out each product by hand, forgetting costs, doing only “custom work” beyond the financial reach of millions of cost-conscious average Americans? Wisely, realistically, American business travels instead a “Main The Spectrum , 2 May 1975 ADVERTISEMENT Street,” where the aim is the best product that can be made at a price the mass of consumers can afford. In shops and factories across the country, engineers, designers, shop foremen hold “product audits,” examining the chain saw or tape recorder or child’s toy before them. With production costs rising, how can they improve the product but keep the price competitive. 3 Will this plastic compound be as strong and as workable as the now-too-costly metal it must replace. 3 Sure, this transistor is cheaper, but will it do the job as well,3 At the Rockwell International Corporation, engineers redesigned a pocket calculator over and over again to cut the cost and time of manufacture while improving the reliability of the machine. The cumulative effect of such activities is a boon to the American consumer, especially during this difficult economic period when all of us want to stretch our dollars as far as possible. For, what good is an improved product if it isn’t readily available to everyone at a reasonable price ? The Main Street approach means that there are 117 million TV sets in U. S. homes, 21 million dishwashers, 35 million clothes dryers —and it means that by and large this abundance of products is an abundance of good products, constantly being improved because of competition. at automobiles, for instance, probably the most complex and sophisticated item the average consumer will ever buy. Today’s cars run much longer between engine tune-ups, oil changes and lubrications than earlier models. Their brakes are much more reliable, their cooling systems require much less Look maintenance. “Consumer pressure” is a healthy affirmation of the market system. After all, what good would consumer demands be in a society without businesses competing in reaction to those demands? But consumer pressure is no new phenomenon; it is rather the same pressure that has always motivated the conscientious businessman —competition. Certainly, consumers have the right to complain, to send things back when they aren’t right. But what really makes American products the greatest bargains in the world today —in both cost and performance—is the fact that all of us constantly cast our votes in the marketplace. It is these consumer “ballots” that shape the quality of the goods we purchase day in and day out. For reprints, write: Reprint Editor, The Reader’s Digest, Pleasanlville, N.Y. 10570.

Prodigal Sun �Stop the slaughter of wolves I am writing to you the latest developments Wolves of Alaska. The organization 1 Wildlife, Friends of the Guest Opinion Let's keep our Of all the various residues of the Watergate Scandal, perhaps the most frightening and dangerous is the emergence of a new mass acceptance of the Establishment communications media in the United States. During the height of American involvement in the Vietnam war, and the concurrent recycling of government propaganda by the mass media, a healthy skepticism has emerged. The strightfaced reports of ridiculously inflated “body counts,” the continual red-baiting of anyone who questioned American aggression, and the rascist editorials urging us to resist the “Yellow Hordes” and countless other daily contradictions, demonstrated the true nature of a communications network controlled by the same interests that controlled the government. It is clear that Richard Nixon did not so much fall from the throne, the throne was simply taken away from him. His foolish and arrogant pursuit of personal power had made him a political liability to his one-time supporters. As a spokesman, a sort of political front man, he was no longer valuable, and the Rockefeller types who had bought and manipulated this bona-fide loser into the presidency dismissed him. This was done in a large part through the use of the very media that Nixon realized was such a threat. It may be that Nixon’s most self-destructive obsession was his hatred of, and desire to control, the media. The clownlike antics and denunciations released through Sprio Agnew were only a tiny part of Nixon’s game plan. Of much greater significance was the constant pressure exerted on the three television networks, the harassment of the Washington Post and other publications, the wooing of conservative heads of independent television stations and implied threats against certain companies and individuals. When it was determined that Nixon was no longer viable as President, the media was used to remove him. Suddenly, a year old burglary that had been downplayed during the elections became front page news, and the public was given an image of reporters risking their jobs and possibly their lives to ferret out what were in reality, newsleaks by “high government officials” like Deep Throat. So the great Watergate “scandal” emerged as a power struggle between members of America’s ruling class. The same new media people who looked the other way while secret bombings were carried out or protected the American people from the truth about the Central Intelligence Agency, were suddenly appalled. Companies like Exxon and ITT paid the bills for “news” programs denouncing the Nixon White House; in the meantime, these same companies were taking record profits at the expense of the American people. The contrived energy crisis continued to gouge the people, the food processing and distribution cartel was busy robbing the consumer at record levels, and the CIA was still cowboying around the world in short, business continued as usual. The game was the same, only one of the players had gotten out of hand. - The danger is that people may come to believe that the termination of Nixon’s control was actually the result of heroic efforts by a band of intrepid news reporters. But it is imperative to remember that these same sots, gossips and voyeurs served the government prescribed visions of Pinko anti-war protestors, Yellow Hordes, Bloodthirsty Arabs, and all the rest. Most recently, they have busied themselves presenting the government version of the Vietnam refugee, interspersed with all the grand things that Exxon, IBM, Shell Oil and ITT are doing to bring joy to the people of the world. After all, these companies pay for the news. And they, at least, get what they pay for.

Editorial Policy is determined by the Editor-in-Chief The Spectrum is served by Service, the Los Angeles Times To the Editor: If you can’t beg money, screw people out of it. This seems to be the attitude of a small, but mouthy group of students at this University. Last week this group was justifiably refused the opportunity to ridiculously squander $1300 of our money. Now it appears they’ve borrowed money from a more willing source. Of course, when they took this loan, arrangements were made for it to be repaid out of their pockets, right? Wrong! You know, I know and they know that this debt to Binghamton will end up right back in the laps of those who refused it in the first place. We were fairly represented at last and those responsible should be outwardly supported. I’m sure I speak for a majority at this University who have been silent for too long when I say I’m sick and tired of being screwed out of money I’m forced to pay in the first place. If a rally is what it takes to voice your opinion, then I think it’s about time we, the silent majority, stopped eating all this shit and got together to let ourselves be heard. The only things this past weekend’s protestors wanted were money and senseless trouble. The next time this happens we should keep our money and give them senseless trouble. After all, we can’t deny them everything. Michael A. Gorenflo Undergraduate Student Impeach Ertell To the Editor Well, academic you are a when it well, well, Dr. Ertell, look who’s violating freedom now! The administration of which major part has loudly crowed this doctrine was to the advantage of reactionary viewpoints in the Colleges (notably Social Sciences). However, you and your ilk seem to feel no need to apply it to colleges faculty members who hold divergent views within the regular faculty. With the failure, again, not to reappoint Dr. Lawler, we all become aware that there is no academic freedom for radicals, outside of whatever cocoon they might build within a College, and there is no free speech for Marxists. There is no academic tolerance for Day Care advocates. The patented UB end-of-the-year screw is on again. Day Care is being “offed,” Dr. Lawler is being booted out, Ketter is letting the student government know just how little self-determination students have. “Academic freedom,” which in practice means the right to be orthodox whether or not the unorthodox like it, does not work in reverse. While Dr. George Hochfield, head of the Faculty Senate, Protestors defeat will invoke academic freedom to let a planner of “new towns” teach an ‘objective’ course on the people who pay here, and blast Charlie Haynie for questioning this, academic freedom does not seem to apply to the departments or to the administration. A political science teacher can still start off a course, as one did this year, with the statement that what he termed ‘new left’ views from students were not welcome in his course. This year’s Gelbaum/Quisling, Dr. Ertell, can still fire a Dr. Lawler, without telling him of the supposedly ‘non-political’ (should we laugh?) reasons for his action. One gets the vision of academic freedom being resurrected each fall, gaining strength as a college is under attack from vastly more powerful enemies, and being quietly put into hibernation for the late spring when it would interfere with mass screwings. While one might perhaps hope for a cataclysm that would rid us of the entire administration at one fell swoop, someone should start turning out “Impeach Ertell” buttons by the thousands. It worked once. Mike McGuire own purpose To the Editor I felt the need to write this out of sheer disgust after having read the Monday, April 26 issue of The Spectrum. The actions of a certain small group of students were definitely uncalled for and a deliberate attempt to create a situation, any way they could, which would bring publicity to their cause. Let us examine the actions of this group no doubt there were people in it who sincerely feel the need for support for the Attica inmates on trial, but anyone who believes that there are not certain groups at this University whose sole intent is to disrupt the learning atmosphere, is either terribly naive or just plain ignorant of this. The actions of this group of protestors was aimed at creating a disturbance to provoke the administration to take steps which could only lead to violence. The act of blocking off President Ketter’s office supports this. Had this group acted with one shred of responsibility instead of acting like a bunch of kids throwing a tantrum, perhaps the Ketter administration would have regarded their ideas more seriously. If the leaders of this group had any intention of trying to discuss the matter of mandatory student fees for buses to Albany, they - To the Editor — Randi Schnur Ronnie Selk . . Sparky Altamora . , .Richard Korman Mitchell Regenbogen Eve Fertig mone\) would have gathered the opinions of as many students as possible and presented them in an orderly and respectable manner. Since this was not the case, maybe the whole motivation behind this little scene has been passed over. Again, what possible alternative was left to the administration when students, ignoring the warnings given them, persisted in blocking Pres, Ketter’s office, and refused passage to V. Pres. Somit and Dr. Siggelkow?? Certainly Dr. Ketter could not come out and speak to the group, as I have witnessed him being shouted down by students when he attempted to speak to a group in the Fillmore Room during the controversy over the colleges. This time he offered to address five or six representatives of the group, but it was purposely ignored. Thus, the only solution was to have the students removed by force. In my opinion, this accomplished the objective of a few selfish people, and frustrated the efforts of those who sincerely believed in what they were doing. If The Spectrum does not consider this worth printing, then it has abandoned all attempts to show more than one view of the events that occurred.

I have attended other universities and have been on the staff of other college newspapers. It is my unhappy duty, as the year draws to an end, to conclude that this newspaper is probably the worst that 1 have ever seen on a college campus. I write this letter in the hope that others might also voice their disapproval, if they’re still reading this paper, so that next year’s staff might make sofhe improvements. For my money, a newspaper should, above all else, provide the students with ail of the relevant news on campus. Many days, less than one quarter of this paper seems to be news. There has rarely ever been any publicity given to clubs or organizations on campus, (other than ABLD and CAC). Many students would be stunned to learn how many organizations exist on campus and what they are doing. Alas, up to now, they couldn’t find it here. The campus is filled with lectures and presentations. With the exception of the major speakers that come on campus, The Spectrum never bothers to cover them. There are myraid sports activities on campus. This paper gave more coverage to its “name the bubble contest” than to the intercollegiate sports on campus. Finally, instead of maintaining a distance from SA in the view of responsible, representative journalism as a watchdog of the people, The Spectrum usually reads like it was written in SA offices. If and when The Spectrum finishes covering all of the campus news that may be meaningful to all of the students, then, if there’s soipe extra space, throw in some bullshit. Columns like TGIF, TRB and the other personal byline columns in this paper must be great ego boosts to the writers, but what the hell do I care about a swarm of bees attacking Buffalo in some student’s wacked-out dreams. 1 hope that next year’s staff decides to put out a NEWSpaper, instead of a BULLSHITpaper.

These students, few in number, have been able to assume control of the Student Association Assembly and, there, pass several resolutions friendly to the indicted Attica defendants. They have also been able to influence the elected President of the Student Association to make broad, provacative public statements that are difficult to apply as “of benefit to the student body.” The same almost occurred within the Graduate Student Association, but was halted by peaceful intent. At a university, nothing is beyond the scope of meaningful discussion, but we must not be pretentious that we are listening when our attitude disclaims that. The following should serve as guidelines for how to handle items of discussion: 1) Open debate 2) Listen to arguments for both sides 3) Established forums must be used for the purpose of their constitution only 4) Leader’s must not misrepresent for whom they speak (not to drag in the MFC president without her approval) 5) Enact binding resolutions within the established system 6) Be always aware of the consequences of personal or organizational actions (i.e., legal, moral) 7) Invoking the standard of justice means that “true” justice is the reason for action, not personal adequate representation of graduate students who felt that political issues were not the function of THEIR student government.

During the recent The Graduate Student Employees’ Union (GSEU) recognizes the right of the students to fight for, to secure, and to protect their interests. The Student Association (SA) exercised that right by appropriating funds for a rally in Albany. The Administration arrogantly assumed the power to deny the students’ right. When the students staged a peaceful protest for their right to self-determination, Ketter’s administration reacted with unrestrained violence in an attempt to crush all opposition to its repressive policies. We believe that the administration’s actions arrogating itself‘all powers needs to be checked. And hence, we believe that the student body was totally justified in exercising its right to protest. The last few days have shown that it is the Ketter’s administration, by its actions, which is disrupting the academic life. The actions of the student body, by checking such actions of the administration, only preserves the academic life. Only through such continued activities of an organized student body, can we hope to overcome the movement towards an escalating repression. We demand, that all the civil charges and academic reprisals against the ten arrested students be immediately dropped. that the administration recognize the right of the democratically constituted student governments to decide their own affairs. that a thorough investigation be instituted by SUNY Administration into the repressive activities of the Ketter Administration.

The main thrust is to reuse, not just recycle, bottles. Although their primary goal is not to “ban the can,” the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) and other interested organizations support a mandatory deposit for as many types of beverage containers as possible. Their ultimate goal is a 100 percent return rate on all durable glass. Legislation forcing distributors to accept returnable glass would cause a shift in emphasis from the producers to the distributors. Production of glass would decrease, while the distributors’ load would rise because of extra handling and responsibility. Fifty-two hundred new jobs would be created in New York State, resulting in an increase of 4000 jobs, according to a State Senate task force report. Keith Parsky, head of the NYPIRG bottle legislation, believes that control of the container producers is.essential to end waste of energy and labor in this industry. Although the output of containers would decrease, and Assembly The budget discussions were heated at times; criticisms of the Committee and its Finance recommendations was severe. Assembly member Sam Prince said that Committee “should be censored,” and charged that it’s allocation of $1000 to PODER for transportation was illegal because the Assembly’s funding permit do not guidelines allocations for club trips to “conferences.” Michele Jones defended the two percent of the jobs would be lost, many more would be found in the area of distribution, Mr. Parsky said. Under the present system, only 10 percent of the bottles in New York State are returnable. If the proposed system were adopted, 80-90 percent of beer and soft drink bottles would be reuseable. People would also have more of an incentive to return the bottles if there was a deposit to collect, Mr. Parsky explained. Other proposals would eliminate “flip-tops,” which are eaten by animals and cause injuries. The disappearance of bottle and can waste would reduce the need for landfill areas, saving $18 million yearly. Bottles and cans presently comprise 60 percent of the litter in parks. Reuseable bottles would therefore drastically reduce this type of unsightly waste. Highway cleaning costs would also be cut. Mr. Parsky says the AFL-CIO intends to “fight all the way” any legislation for mandatory returnable bottles. The AFL-CIO argues that such legislation would not only cut jobs and profits, but require $5 million and three years for the transition. However, Mr. Parsky and fellow project head Jan Sadick believe the proposed system will create more jobs at the distribution end. —continued from page They also pointed out that production costs would be lower since one bottle could be used an average of 15 times. New York groups are attempting to model their bottle legislation after a mandatory returnable bottle law now in effect in Oregon. Under this law, metal beverage containers cannot be sold, and distributors may sell only returnable containers and must honor all deposits. The return rate is more than 90 percent. The same Senate task force that noted the iricrease in jobs also concluded that a mandatory deposit on all beer and soft drink containers would save enough energy to run 200 thousand cars yearly, save consumers $40 million annually, and result in an 80 to 90 percent return rate of all such containers. Response to the legislation has been 12 to one in favor of the proposals. Mr. Parsky feels they must use a “quick, hard push” to get the laws passed because the legislative process delays goals that are needed now. On Monday, May 5, Mr. Parsky and Mr. Sadick will debate AFL-CIO representatives on the necessity of reuseable bottles. 2— . committee, identifying PODER as a “special project” organization, not a club.

Either way he has stuck to his guns, of them. and fought for every ounce of the control he feels to him and his Department. For better or belongs and father, I would like to thank my mother that.

In all sincerity, Ed Michael did a lot at various times to help me keep my head together and I’m not too proud to thank him for that. On the other hand Oh the hell with the other hand. Say a prayer for Associate Athletic Director Ed Muto, still in Millard Fillmore Hospital recovering from a heart attack that hit him suddenly two weeks ... ago.

On the other hand, Sparky Alzamora has been writing about nothing all year, ergo there should be nothing unique about today’s version of But Seriously . . (except that it is the last). Next year Jay may have a nice magazine job, Sparky will go to Alaska, for no good reason at all, and I’m going to graduate school, also for no good reason at all. A few words about Harry Fritz. How could I possibly leave this job without saying a few words about Harry Fritz. He’s a nice guy. I really mean that. If we had had any relationship other than athletic director and student journalist, we’d have gotten along great. We did in fact initiate a course in the now almost defunct bulletin board program. The course. Sports and Society, is now a regular offering of the Physical Education Department, and as such represents my legacy to the University. We didn’t always agree on how the course should be run, but we managed to work it out and, all told, it was a good experience. However, sad to say, the administrator-sports writer relationship has been filled with respectful . There’s one thing I’ve wanted to say all year. But I never had the right opportunity. The quality of The Spectrum journalism is a matter of your own subjective judgment. But this year’s staff is certainly the best looking we’ve had in my four years here. There is not an ugly person on the staff. Some of the beautiful girls (I’m such a sexist) are Amy Dunkin (rats, I promised not to mention her), Willa Basson, Ilene Dube, Janqt Leary, Randi Schnur and Marcia Kaplan. (The ones 1 left out are still going to kill me, but at least I snuck in most of my friends.) Even Gerry McKeen, a little older than most of us, still has a dynamite body. On the male side, several of us (Mike O’Neill, Mitch Regenbogen, Larry Kraftowitz and myself) are merely ruggedly handsome. Sparky, Jay Rich Korman and Joe Esposito lead the cute faction. Photo Editor Kim Santos has a sly debonaire look about him. There are no males on the staff that are anything less than attractive. If you want to see ugly people, go to NYPIRG or SA, places where I used to have friends, until I wrote this. This has been an insane place to work, but I can’t complain. I’ve enjoyed myself. I’ve got to thank the Athletic Department for having some really good teams. It was a good year for most of them. I’ve got to thank the SA, the Administration and good old Dr. Fritz again, for keeping us on our toes. Most of all, I’ve got to thank the newly formed Students for the Future of Athletics, for boosting my ego by calling for my resignation and by picking up the pace just when things were starting to get a little dull. I promised a last will and testament, but 1 don’t think I have anything anyone wants except for my natural charm, which got me this job is the first place. I guess I’ll leave that to my successor, David J. Rubin. I’m not sure he wants it, but he’ll probably need it. Basically, I won’t leave anything to anybody, except a piece of my heart which will stay in this town and this office until it finds a better place. That might be a long, long time.

Before he left, he submitted this first of a two-part series about his experience in Editor’s sun Louisville. by David J. Rubin Staff Writer Spectrum Tomorrow, the first Saturday in May, starts the second hundred of the running of the granddaddy of all horse races, The Kentucky Derby. At 5:35 p.m., following a nostalgic rendition of “My Old Kentucky Home,” 14 horses will spend about two minutes racing a mile and a quarter around Churchill Downs’ dirt track in the 101st “Run for the Roses.” I will be making the 1200 mile round trip to the sleepy southern city of Louisville to see the big race. I will be sweating and baking in the hot Kentucky sun. But I’ll be only one of the well over 100,000 people who annually fill up every hotel room, camping site, and boarding house for miles around. 1 will be standing on line for six hours on Derby morning, but I still won’t see most of the race, because of the thousands standing in the infield. But I don’t care about any of that. Why? Because the Kentucky Derby is more than just a horse race. I’ve never been to a Derby, and I’ve never been that interested in horse racing. But each year when Derby time comes, something draws me to the television set and starts my adrenalin flowing. This year that something is drawing me to Louisville, and there’s nothing I can do about it. I have Derby Fever! years More than a race Yet the race itself is really just a vehicle for all the pageantry and tradition which surrounds it. Louisville makes the Derby an unforgettable event. The natives are friendly, and the city really gets its act together for Derby Day. “Louisville masturbates for 364 days and ejaculates on Derby Day!” according to my friend and Derby companion Bill Rosenthal! I’m not sure what to expect in Kentucky, but I have been thoroughly briefed by Rosenthal and Allan Rosenberg, my other traveling companion. We will be staying in the Red Bam, a temporary housing facility maintained by the University of Louisville just for the Derby. They tell me that somewhere among the 80,000 or so fans who will jam the infield we will bump into someone named Homer, the cattle rancher who probably owns Lubbock, Texas. And I’ve been informed that we will drive past the intersection of 3rd and Winkler, which has the somewhat dubious distinction of being the Main and Hertel of Louisville. But you gotta be there However, I can’t truly experience the feeling of Churchill Downs until I go there. If “Prince Thou Art” or “Bombay Duck” manages to beat my pick, “Foolish Pleasure,” or if a longshot like Cohost wires the field, my weekend won’t suffer because it’s being there and not the outcome that counts. Being there means being a part of one of the greatest sporting events anywhere. The Kentucky Derby attracts more fans than any playoff or championship game in any sport in America. There must be a reason for this and I’m traveling 1200 miles to find it. �V. \mJ\J mmummSmm mm, / mmwmin V.

He didn’t allow a hit for the first three innings, and after the first inning, not one Stale player got past first base. Bengals tamed Kobel threw mostly fastballs and used an effective slider to keep State off balance throughout most of the contest. The Bengals didn’t hit either pitch with any authority. “I had to win the second game,” said Kobel. “We just couldn’t lose a twinbill to them.” Kobel also noted that he was totally prepared mentally and physically for the game.

In the editorial in question, Mr. Geringer called the SBA’s move to allocate funds for the Albany trip tantamount to jumping onto the “bandwagon...into disgrace.” He essentially agreed with the University administration’s view of the situation-that students actually wanted to go to Albany to participate in a planned Attica demonstration and lobbying effort for Assemblyman Arthur Eve’s amnesty bill. However, Mitchell Regenbogen Campus Editor The Law School Student Bar Association (SBA) has begun an investigation of the law student newspaper, the Opinion because of its alleged refusal to print articles opposing the paper’s editorial policy or allow students who disagree with the policy to join the paper. The SBA tabled the Opinion's budget for next year at a general meeting last Friday, pending the results of the inquiry. Dave Geringer, Editor-in-Chief of the Opinion, charged Monday that SBA officials instigated the inquiry because of an editorial in last Thursday’s edition which strongly criticized the SBA’s approval, for “educational reasons,” of a $1300 allocation for busses to Monday's Attica rally and workshops in Albany. Mr. Geringer said the SBA could not cite any specific instances where editorial policy had interfered with the Opinion’s accessibility. But SBA President Rosemary Gerasia said the investigation, which will be completed by an ad hoc committee by May 9, would document the charges. The Opinion is funded by the SBA out of mandatory student activity fees, and is designed to be a forum for the Law School community as well as a student newspaper. In a telephone interview Monday, Ms. Gerasia asserted that the SBA’s action “had nothing to do with the editorial” last Thursday. She explained that the Opinion has previously published editorials criticizing the SBA, and that no action was taken. Without a doubt the Albany Mr. Geringer said expenditure was “an unconstitutional abuse of delegated power, a likely violation of the SUNY guidelines for activity fees, a wasting of common student funds for the political commitments of some, and a foolish tax of SBA’s imperiling exemption.” “To put it bluntly." the editorial stated. “SBA’s actions of last Friday are a disgrace.” It concluded that “concerned students do. however, have a number of options with regard to an SBA which has thrown responsibility to the winds, including the impeachment mechanism and the seeking of activity fee waivers." said the SBA Mr. Geringer the of investigation and tabling next year’s budget was “without a doubt" a reaction to the editorial, probably because the current SBA officers think they are “in for • a year of a lot of criticism.” He cited a provision of the SBA constitution which states that the SBA “shall make no by-law abridging freedom of speech Overblown Mr. Geringer called the charges against him and his paper “vague, dreams, absolutely untrue,” and the result of people “who are mad.” The SBA is trying to get rid of the current staff of the Opinion and “put in people favorable to them.” he said. Ms. Gerasia. on the other hand, termed the issue “totally overblown.” Contrtary to accusations by Mr. Geringer, “no attempt is being made to cut [the Opinion's] budget totally," especially since the SBA “can’t not fund them,” she explained. She emphasized that she has not yet formed an opinion on any of the complaints, describing them as “merely allegations” that the SBA was investigating, “There may be no truth in them whatsoever,” she said. Ms. Gerasia conceded that some of the people who supported the tabling motion also supported the Attica resolution that was heavily criticized in the editorial. She was quick to add, however, that many were not, and that no SBA officer had leveled any charges against the Opinion. She said the real issue was that a “student newspaper funded by syudent fees should be accessible to student input,” and that charges that Mr. Geringer refused -continued on page 4 Philosophy professor fired without an explanation by Rosalie Zuckerman Spectrum Staff Writer Philosophy professor James Lawler will not be rehired when contract expires his in May despite the official endorsement of the Philosophy Department and the of Social Faculty Sciences. His dismissal was ordered last week by Merton Ertell, Vice President for Academic Affairs, give who to refused an explanation for his action. Dr. Lawler was informed of the decision last Wednesday night by a telephone call from Philosophy Department chairman Peter Hare. Dr. Ertell’s decision marks the second time in as many years that not the administration did reappoint Dr. Lawler even though he had the support of his department and Faculty. Last Sping, former Academic Affairs Vice President Bernard Gelbaum announced that he would not renew Dr. Lawler’s two-year contract, but changed his mind and reappointed him for another year after Dr. Hare and Social Sciences Provost Arthur Butler intervened in his behalf. In an interview Monday, Dr. Lawler charged that his political interests, which included support of the Day Care Center, union activities and participation in the College, Social Sciences influenced Dr. Ertell’s decision. “The adminsitration has not even considered the quality of my academic record," he said citing the recent publication of four articles and one book. “This action clearly indicates an unwillingness on the part of the administration to allow any kind of political opposition at any level,” Dr. Lawler asserted. His firing, coupled with President Robert Ketter’s initial suspension of the nine students arrested in Hayes Hall last Friday, “Reflected an adminstrative trend of dealing with people they do not approve of in a most authoritive matter.” believes Lawler his Dr. the “leadership position” in United University Professionals (UUP) was a key factor in Dr. Ertell’s decision because “the adminsitration has always shown animousity to a strong union on campus.” Dr. Lawler explained that the activities strategy UUP’s encouraging united efforts by staff to achieve faculty and input into University greater was in direct decision-making conflict with the administrations all “controlling” policy . of decision making and discouraging University within the unity - — community. The adminsitration is “getting the faculty to quarrel amoungst which themselves” about departments are more deserving of budget cuts “to sow the seeds of disunity within the faculty,” he said. Yeracaris, Constantine sociology of and professor College were directed against the college itself and never affected his opinion of Dr. Lawler. Discouragement Dr. Lawler said the decision made admmstration” placed faculty in an “insecure thereby discouraging “arbitrary by the untenured position” tern from pursuing their political interests. -santos james Lawler president of the local chapter of expressed “extreme the disappointment” over dismissal of his colleague. He said he would investigate whether Dr. the UUP, Lawler’s union affiliation was a prime factor in his firing. The College of Social Sciences has been under constant “attack” from University President President Ketter, who has termed the College as a “monolythic political block” that must be “scrutinized like Ceaser’s wife.” Although Dr. Lawler believes his activities in the college could have also influenced the decision because of its negative image, Dr. Ketter insisted hU attacks on the Dr. Ertell denied that Dr. Lawler’s interests political influenced his decision, stressing that he was not even aware of them. But he refused, under repeated questioning, to state the reasons for Dr. Lawler’s dismissal. It is “not appropriate” to give the reasons. Dr. Ertell said. “We do not do business this way in the academic field.” Dr. Ketter said he was not consulted on the decision and did not know anything about it. He stressed that he would not become involved unless Dr. Lawler appealed the decision. the Faculty and Although endorsements of Departmental Dr. Lawler were sent to Dr. Ertell in February, he was informed of his dismissal only two weeks before the end of the semester, leading him to believe that the administration was deliberately trying to forestall efforts by him to gather support. Dr, Disputing Lawler’s suspicions, Dr. Ertell said the delay was due to his illness and his desire to carefully weigh the matter. Lawler said he was Dr. optimistic that the decision will not stick because “eoung people wll contest it and get Ketler to reverse it.” But both Dr. Hare and Dr Butler, despite recommending reappointment, the last two years, said they were reluctant become involved after the fact, as they did last year. Both maintained that Dr. Ertell’s decision was based on academic rather than political considerations. Dr. Hare did say that he would write a letter to Dr. Ertell asking why Dr. Lawler was dismissed if Dr. Lawler asked him to, but conceded that nothing more could be done if the “people in Hayes his original rejected” Hall recommendation. “1 consider the case settled,” Dr. Butler said adding that he had reservations about recommending Dr. Lawler in the first place because of his academic record. The decision did not come as a surprise, he emphasized. Ertell serious gave “Dr. consideration to Dr. Lawler’s academic record,” Dr. Butler added, but it was not “as strong as other faculty members,” Dr. Hare said that he did not know exactly why Dr. Ertell refused to reappoint Dr. Lawler, but speculated that it was because Dr. Lawler’s articles while highly Marxian and “evaluated by European Contemporary scholars,” were not published in prestigious journals. �SA action Administration condemned for its ‘deceptive’ actions by Laura Bartlett Contributing Editor The Student Assembly approved a resolution Monday condemning President Robert Ketter and the University Administration for “deceptive and immoral actions” regarding the arrest of 10.students in Hayes Hall last week and their subsequent suspension. The resolution charged that the administration denied the students due process by failing to inform them of their right to a “show-cause” hearing before they were temporarily suspended. In other business, the Assembly voted to table the entire Sub Board allocation of $276,000, the Black Student Union (BSU) budget, and most of the individual budgets for SA’s coordinators and directors in the hope that more money can be found after the other budgets have been acted upon. BSU meeting In the case of BSU, however, the tabling was approved at the request of Carol Block, Student Association (SA) treasurer, She explained that she wished to speak with representatives of the BSU to discuss their request before it was discussed by the Assembly. Ms. Block said the meeting was scheduled to take place yesterday. A motion,to cut the Minority Affairs Cultural Events budget by one-half or $2500 was rejected, as was a move to deny SA President Michele Smith a position on the Sub Board Bd. of Directors. Ms. Smith had appointed herself to the position, along with four other students: Bruce Campbell (who was already on Sub Board by virtue of his election as SA Vice President for Sub Board), Abdul Wahaab, Michael Kofler and Frank Jackalone. Ms. Smith defended her self-appointment by citing the need for someone “familiar with the situation” on the Board of Directors while SA fights to keep two positions on the Executive Board. She explained that while SA contributes 80 percent of Sub Board’s funds, it only holds five of the twelve positions on theExecutive Committee. Furthermore, SA has traditionally held two of the three slots into* qn the Executive which rated highly on the survey have had their budgets slashed while others who Board, she said. “Other student governments” which contribute the remaining 20 percent of Sub Board’s funds are now attempting to deny SA one or both of those positions, Ms. Smith asserted. Two votes Ms. Smith promised to step down and appoint someone else to the Board after the issue is settled sometime in May. The Assembly initially voted 18 to II against her, with 6 abstensions, before reconsidering and voting 27-7-10 in her favor. Assembly member Bob Wallace accused the Finance Committee of neglecting the results of SA’s student priority survey, distributed during Spring registration. Mr. Wallace indicated that several organizations received lower ratings received the same or greater level of funding. Commuters especially “have been shafted,” he charged. The Assembly also approved two resolutions presented by David Strong of the Attica Support Group. One was a letter of thanks to the Student Association of the State University at Binghamton for contributing $1000 to the bail of the arrested students. The other was a vote of confidence in the SA Executive Committee for its actions after the arrests and its continued role as spokespersons for the student body. A third motion was withdrawn after it proved two lengthy to vote upon without copies of it being distributed. The resolution was scheduled to be acted upon at yesterday’s meeting. Holtzman warns of new ‘Tonkin Gulf’ New military bill criticized by Sherrie Brown Contributing Editor “Congress is going to enact a bill that is the 1975 Tonkin 20% Off warned Resolution,” Gulf Congressman Elizabeth Holtzman (D., Brooklyn) during a speech in the Law School’s Moot Court Room Sunday night. Ms. Holtzman, who at 33 became the youngest woman ever elected to Congress by defeating longtime incumbant Emanuel Celler in the 1972 Democratic primary, attacked the legislation that would authorize the use of American troops to evacuate Americans from Vietnam. The bill, which has received little opposition, would give President Ford a “blank check” to use military strength in any way he sees fit under the rationale of saving American lives, Ms. Holtztnan emphasized.

The demonstrators also to gathered partly support Assemblyman Arthur Eve’s (D., Buffalo) bill calling for Amnesty for the Attica Brothers, due to be introduced this week. Culmination The rally ended a week of controversy here surrounding the expenditure of mandatory student fees for transportation to Albany. Ten students face expulsion stemming from their arrests in connection with a sit-in in Hayes Hall, where several students and Campus Security officers were slightly injured during an ensuing mellee. Monday’s demonstration was uneventful, with only about ten police officers in attendance. Frank “Big Black” Smith, who faces kidnap and felony murder charges in connection with the death of two inmates, told the demonstrators his version of what took place during the September 1971 prison rebellion. “In that prison yard we dealt with medical changes, we dealt with peaceful changes, until the Formal hearin fs system decided they would get the emasculated prisoners,” he said. “The Attica Brothers are only scapegoats for the ruling class,” Big Black continued. “We must all come together like we did in the prison yard.” ‘Today is the day we talked about in 1971 in that prison yard amnesty,” Big Black declared. “We came to say you can’t go further in history until we deal with Attica; so we can move on to other issues.” A speaker from the Committee for African People urged blacks and whites to come together over Attica. “The system will come down when we fully unite with - the white community and they realize that the structure oppresses them too,” he said. “The struggle is everywhere to the open your eyes contradictions,” he said. coordinated statewide A reaction to the sentencing of John Hill (Dacajewiah), convicted of murder, and Joe Charley Pernasalice, convicted of second degree attempted assault, in connection with the death of Quinn, guard Willaim was discussed by the demonstrators. After the speakers concluded, the participants retired to nearby churches for workshops, discussion and groups refreshments. - to follow Suspensions lifted by Ketter Seven of ten temporary suspensions of students arrested Friday were lifted by President Robert Kef ter at a hearing Sunday night. Temporary suspensions against three others were sustained. State University Chancellor Ernest Boyer has asked his staff “to look into the facts of the Buffalo situation to determine if there was any overreaction as the students maintain,” according to a SUNY spokesperson. “We still have complete confidence in Dr. Ketter, but these charges should obviously be looked into,” Chancellor Boyer said. All of the students will face expulsion in a hearing before the University Committee on the Maintenance of Public Order May 6. The committee is comprised equally of students, faculty and administrators. Dr. Ketter met with each of the ten students at individual hearings from 7 p.m.-midnight Sunday night, during which time they were required to “show cause” why they should not be banned from campus. Students were allowed to be accompanied by an attorney and their parents. The students were notified of their suspensions Saturday and Sunday. Those who are still temporarily suspended are banned from campus until the hearing May 6. They are: Charles Reitz, charged with criminal mischief, resisting arrest and second-degree assault; Jshmael .<;spi ;ng, mischief, second degree assault and resisting arrest, and Elliott Sharp, charged with trespassing, second degree assault and resisting arrest. Just trespassing The other arrested students are: Paul Ginsberg, with obstruction of charged trespassing, governmental administration and criminal mischief; Paul Mittman, charged with criminal trespass; Alex Van Oss, Gary Gleoa, David Lennett, Jim Hughes and Keith Parsky, all charged with trespass. The Student Assembly passed a resolution Monday condemning President Ketter and the University Administration for their actions Friday and demanded that all charges against the ten students be dropped.

My objections to nuclear power are extremely simple and rest on one common sense issue: whether or not the 'miracle' achieved. of nuclear power can be Addressing an audience of about 100 in Diefendorf Hall last Friday night, medical physicist and author John W, Gofman argued that if we generate nuclear power to meet any significant proportion of our energy needs, we create astronomical quantities of radioactive fission products and plutonium-239. Federal agencies such as the National Committee on Radiation Protection and the Atomic Energy Commission have continually laden the public with double-talk designed to minimize fear and protest of the adverse affects of these radioactive toxins, according to Dr. Gofman. When radiation criticism dies down, these agencies announce that exposure is not really as harmful as supposed, he said. When exposure again .becomes an issue, they say that a scientific “fix” can be devised for proper containment. The Price-Anderson Act, which expires in 1977, insures nuclear reactor accidents with limited liability that cannot exceed $560 million. Large utility companies, Dr. Gofman said, were already lobbying for a renewal of this act in 1974 because there is no other way nuclear reactors can be insured. “You can get insurance on a fire, lots of companies are competing for the business, but you can’t get full coverage on a nuclear power plant,” he explained. The alternative to nuclear power seems to be the exploration of solar power, Dr. Gofman noted. A representative of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), which sponsored the lecture, distributed petitions to phase out nuclear A miracle Proper containment is the “miracle” to which Dr. Gofman referred. He noted that plutonium, a by-product in the production of nuclear energy, is “perhaps the most toxic element handled in quantity by man.” In a detailed analysis based on fallout statistics from past experimental atomic blasts, he explained that federal standards for radiation control would require “perfection in the order of 99.99 percent containment.” Failure to achieve this unrealistic level of perfection, which discounts the very real possibilities of war, natural disaster, or basic human fallibility, would be hazardous to the human species to a degree the federal agencies are not willing to admit, Dr. Gofman said. Experiments with rats indicate that injection of plutonium particles causes cancer, and that children are more susceptible to cancer from radiation than adults. According to Dr. Gofman’s own figures, one pound of plutonium-239 released into the atmosphere can cause 28 billion lung cancer doses in humans. Nevertheless, he warned, construction of an additional 500-1000 nuclear power plants can be predicted before the year 2000. power plants and develop solar electricity and solar fuels. Dr. Gofman advised that political muscle for the cause is best developed through petitioning. “I don’t think the picture is all bleak for the opposition,” he emphasized. “I want to see the plutonium issue exposed.” Dr. Goftnan’s publications include more than 130 articles and two controversial books on nuclear energy: Population Control Through Nuclear Pollution (1970), and Poisoned Power (1971). �Preparing for the summer Africa Club The Africa Club will host a variety of events Friday, May 2 at 8 p.m., and Saturday, May 3, at 10 p.m.—2 a.tn. in Norton Hall’s Fillmore Room.

The fact-finding group, comprised of eight dormitory residents, convened after several meetings concerning crime prevention systems, said Steve Treglia, spokesman for the group. The meetings, attended by Head Residents, Resident Advisors (R.A.) and students, were held in response to a sexual assault in Clement Hall three weeks ago. Proposals “Impractical” Several alternative security systems were discussed and later discarded as "impractical.” One R.A. suggested that the front door to the resident halls should always be locked. However, others felt that students holding the key would probably allow strangers to enter the building. Locking every fire foor was also proposed. Clement Hall residents initially signed petitions supporting this system. But most later regretted signing the documents because they felt it “limited their freedom” to conveniently visit individuals on other floors. The Committee on Dormitory Security is working with Campus Security to reach its short-range goal of informing the University community of crime on campus, said Mr. Treglia. One of five The committee’s pamphlet will advise students on how to prevent theft, muggings, and rape, and make suggestions on what action to take if a crime is committed. One strong precaution is that dorm rooms remained locked at all times. “Security has given us the distinct impression that one out of every five dormitory students is liable to be a victim of crime,” Mr. Treglia said. The committee eventually hopes to establish an effective security system. “Unfortunately, we have not come up with a viable solution to this point,” Mr. Treglia said. He indicated that the group will contact other college campuses to investigate the type, cost, and source of funding of their security systems. Mr. Treglia emphasized that “student input is essential to the development of an effective system.” Those with comments and suggestions should call 831-4158 or 831-3874 or write Box 800 or Box 400, Clement Hall. COLLEGE OF LAW by Howard L. GreenMatt Contributing Editor Final preparations for a comprehensive Summer Orientation Program for incoming freshmen are being made despite some initial setbacks due to the loss of key personnel, according to John Buerk, director of Orientation. Two secretaries who have for years organized many of the administrative details have retired, Mr. Buerk reported, causing a delay in this year’s plans. Mr. Buerk has been in charge of the orientation program for the past six years. Twenty-one hundred students are expected to participate, which is roughly the same as last year, he Food Service will feed the students the same sort of meals that are served in dormitories during the year, Mr. Buerk said. Tentative plans for recreation, films, discussion groups, displays on athletics and music are also envisioned. Tours of the Amherst and Main Street campuses will be conducted during each conference. Mr. Buerk indicated that the Ellicott Complex will be of particular interest, since practically all new freshmen who plan to reside on campus will be placed there. Among the more mundane but necessary plans for the orientation conferences include registration workshops, data form collections and actual course said. The results of a survey taken at last year’s orientation indicate that incoming students were more at ease with the size and social dimensions of the University after attending orientation, and were more realistically informed of the increased academic demands they would face. The survey revealed that orientation calmed the social anxieties which most freshmen have, but “increased their academic anxieties,” Mr. Buerk said. Two day preference Ninety-four percent of the students surveyed preferred at least a two-day orientation program. Two-thirds suggested more student-faculty contact, especially for those who plan pre-medical and pre-dental majors, which accounts for about 25 percent of all new students. In response to these requests, Mr. Buerk said his staff was arranging more contact between students and members of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Plans for the orientation program include twelve separate two and one-half day conferences. The program, which begins June 22 and continues through August 1st, will cost $30 per student. A round-trip ticket to and from New York City on one of the Student Association (SA) chartered buses will cost an additional $32, “a significant saving over flying,” Mr. Buerk said. A day in the life of a typical orientation participant will include meetings with orientation aides, faculty members and academic advisors. Dean of Undergraduate Education Charles Ebert and Student Affairs Vice President Richard Sigglekow will address the new students shortly after their arrival, welcoming them to the University and providing general advice. —Santos John Buerk registration. Freshmen who participate in the orientation program will be permitted to pre-register, and will receive program cards over the summer before arriving at school in September. “This will make things a lot easier,” Mr. Buerk noted. Mr. Buerk said he plans to invite parents to attend the first day of each orientation conference, “since some studies indicate that they need more orientation than their children.” He also indicated that the chief difficulty in coordinating a comprehensive orientation program “is to accommodate the concerns of the many constituencies which are part of a large university.

The eight and one half mile walkathon, whose theme was “American Jews can cross their borders, let Soviet Jews be able to cross theirs,” was co-sponsored by Hillel House, the Jewish Student Union (JSU), and the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewery (SSSJ), a national organization which coordinates efforts on behalf of Soviet Jews. Hillel President Dolie Roberts and Robin Libow, coordinators of the march, explained that the walkathon was intended to show solidarity with the Jews of the Soviet Union who face religious discrimination but are forbidden to leave the country. The planners also hoped to make the Buffalo community aware of the plight of the Soviet Jews and raise money by sponsoring each walker.

Esposito With .the rejection proposed Equal of the Rights Amendment (ERA) Friday, by the Florida State Senate, the ERA remains four states away from the 38 needed for becoming the 27th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Despite endorsements of the ERA by First Lady Betty Ford and Florida Governor Reubin Askew, Florida became the tenth state to vote against the ERA this year. Approval by 38 states is required by March 1979, seven years after its passage by the Congress. The Florida defeat makes it virtually impossible for the ERA ratified this year. The ERA has three sections. Section I states that “Equality of rights under law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” Section II gives Congress the to enforce, by power to be legislation, the provisions of the amendment. Section III requires that the amendment take effect two years after the date of ratification. appropriate welter of misinformation, false and emotional apprehensions City Editor Welter of misinformation Helen Hedrick, Regional Legislative coordinator for the National Organization for Women (NOW) and coordinator for the SUNY Women’s Council at this University, quoted New York Times columnist Tom Wicker, who attributed the recent ERA defeat in North Carolina to “a pressures.” Ms. Hedrick explained that the ERA is as important to women as the amendments which ended slavery were to blacks. “Women are not recognized with equality in the courts,” she noted. However, Ms. Hedrick cited a report from the Citizen’s Advisory Council on the Status of Women (a Presidential Commission established to study the legal implications of the ERA), which states that the ERA “applies only to governmental action; it does not affect private action or the social relationships purely between men and women.” Draft women The Council report argues that traditional state powers and the constitutional right to privacy permit segregation by sex in facilities including public toilets, sleeping quarters at co-ed colleges, prison dormitories, and military barracks. It states that “the ERA will require Congress to treat men and women equally with respect to the draft . . . women, like Once in the service, men, would be assigned to various duties by their commanders, depending on their qualifications needs.” The and the service’s study also quotes a Senate which indicates that the “ERA will result in equal treatment of men and women with respect to the labor laws of the states.” Therefore, restrictive discriminatory labor laws which report women bar certain were passed. the amendment Those laws which offer real protection such as minimum wage and health and safety precautions, would be extended to protect women as well as men Support and alimony The Council also cited a report from the New York City Bar Association which explored the ERA’S effect on support rights and alimony laws. The ERA would bar states from imposing a greater liability on one spouse because of sex, and not require both a husband and a wife to contribute identical amounts of money to a marriage. The support obligation of each spouse would be based on each spouse’s earning power, current resources and CAYAGES PIANO RAGS BY SCOTT JOPLIN from occupations, would be invalid if “nonmonetary contributions to the family welfare.” Upon dissolution of marriage, both spouses would be entitled to fairer treatment on the basis of individual circumstances rather than sex, according to the Bar Association’s report. Thus alimony laws could be drafted that would allow a spouse to make a n on-compensated contribution to the family in the form of domestic tasks and/or child care if he were absent from the labor market for a number of years. N Y. State ERA The New York State ERA, Ms. Hedrick explained, is “essentially the same as the federal proposal.” amending The Constitutional process in New York requires that both of the State houses Legislature pass an amendment iir two successive legislatures before it .can go to a referendum in the election. general The state amendment has been approved twice in the Assembly and once in the Senate. Currently in the Senate Judiciary Committee, the State ERA “could go either way in the Senate,” Ms. Hedrick added. She said a significant conservative element, which has “considerable funds” and is using the slogan “Don’t Tie Us Up,” is working to defeat it. Mrs. Willard Sanscrainte, a local representative of Operation Wake-Up, a statewide coalition of anti-ERA groups, termed the proposed amendment “sex neutral.” Operation Wake Up is seeking to defeat the State ERA —continued on page 12— CLASSICAL SALE PIANO RAGS BY SCOTT JOPLIN VOLUMES I II & JOSHUA RIFKIN, PIANO CAVAGES across from UB Main St, Campus Wednesday, 30 April 1975 . The Spectrum . Page seven �i Editorial Behind closed doorsfire administration's decision Philosophy The to professor James Lawler, without so much as an explanation, is almost a videotape replay of the decision not to reappoint him last year. Although there are many apolitical factors which enter into the questions of tenure and promotion. Academic Affairs Vice President Merton Ertell's absolute refusal to reveal why Dr. Lawler was fired can only fuel speculation that he continues to be harassed for his political beliefs. Dr. Lawler has a long history of association with activist causes. An avowed Marxist, he was one of the Hayes 45 arrested during the 1970 demonstrations and is active in the United University Professionals (UUP), the official bargaining agent for State University of New York (SUNY) faculty. Dr. Lawler has also been an ardent supporter of the Day Care Center, and is on the staff of the Social Sciences College, one of the three colleges that President Robert Ketter asked to be "particularly sensitive to matters of academic freedom" when he released his report on the College Chartering Process in January. Dr. Ertell's remarks that it is "not appropriate" to give his reasons for firing Dr. Lawler because "we do not do business this way in the academic field" does not seem like the kind of statement that would come from an administration that is committed to academic freedom. Perhaps these comments explain why the University has been transformed, in the short space of five years, from an inquiry-filled, experimental house of learning to an almost drab, degree-granting factory. With important decisions always being made behind closed doors under the guise of being "sensitive" matters, the academic community has been excluded from participating systematically in the formulation of University policy. The firing of Dr. Lawler for the second straight year, despite the official endorsements of the Philosophy Department and Faculty of Social Sciences, reduces to fiction the administration's official pronouncements that tenure and reappointment decisions are actually made at the departmental level. Every instructor fired by this University deserves, at the very least, a private, if not public explanation. A more "open" administration would achieve far better results if it moved away from its present, secretive, no-comment method of dealing with people. Dr. Lawler is appealing his termination for the second straight year. If he is not reinstated, we demand a public explanation of why a respected professor who was recommended by every other segment of the University is being dismissed. Closet censorship Another gloomy Monday, and this one placed at the end of a semester, for heavens sake. There are problems 1 assume we all share at this time of year. Basically these would be how the hell do 1 get all the foolish things that I am supposed to have done, done, at least satisfactorily. (The extent to which each of us must perform to be doing so “satisfactorily” seems to be basically an interaction between your faculty and your maker.) This last weekend seemed to be an exercise in futility. There were all the things that I was supposed to do, and there was 1, obsessing about what I should do. Do you have any idea how soon Sunday evening follows Friday afternoon when you have a good talent for procrastination? Yes, I’m sure you do, I know you’re out there somewhere. Procrastinators of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your incompletes. But then nobody would ever get around to joining such an organization, would they? Perhaps the fact that the weather was semi-decent for a delightful change may have also inhibited any desire to sit for extended periods of time at a gloomy and disgustingly disorganized desk. What sense is there in trying to work when you would have to work for at least 45 minutes getting the surface clear enough to work on? Clearly it makes much more sense ecologically and esthetically to spend the time cleaning the yard of waste paper and the odd beer can contributed by a passing motorist. Which reads a great deal more lucidly than it course. The foregoing narrative leaves out all the self-abuse and recriminations that go on in the process of not doing anything. “Damn, I really ought to be doing blank. Why can’t I get it together to finish x? Brother, how could I have possibly forgotten to do that'}" You realize, of course, that these questions have to do only with the form of such self-interrogation and observation. The actual occurs to content has been drastically changed to protect The Spectrum’s good name as a family magazine. An example of how I beat myself up is the current crisis on yea, this very campus over the money to go to Albany. In my own insular way I never know nothing about anything until light years after the fact. In this particular case I was driving home in the trusty, rusty, bug listening to the news when I hear that there has been a hassle in Hayes Hall. Which, having very recently seen the movie about I.F. Stone, tells me nothing. News, to him, is something that you put on between the ads and the commercials. Multiply that by the average bias factor in most of the local news media and you know nothing except that something probably happened. Lord knows exactly what the hell that something was. .

Which is relaxing in certain kinds of ways. If they Steese are just talking to each other and it does not immediately involve me, then I don't have to listen to that particular dialogue and I can waste much time being paranoid about something else. For example, I can monitor news for Washington with one ear and eye, until they start talking about making it mandatory for all of us to have national identification cards. At that point the hair on the back of my,necks starts to rise and I start writing more checks to Common Cause and the American Civil Liberties Union. Or until they start talking about Hathaway as Secretary of the Interior So for most of this problem I was not involved It looks rather like two branches of government having a power struggle. Which are usually something that can be solved by a little creative compromising before anyone gets hurt. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be one of those times that it was gotten together soon enough. When you think about all the people who have gotten hurt in world history for somebody else’s principles, it is rather frightening Happy last week. Take care.

But it is important that it famous American once say: “1 may not agree with become aware of the fine line separating forced "openness" what you say, but I will defend to the death your from infringment on editorial policy and outright right to say it?” In my opinion, the basic question is whether censorship. While Mr. Geringer should realize that printing students, just because they are students, are to be opposing viewpoints is the normal procedure for any deprived of certain rights which are supposed to be newspaper, no government, student or otherwise, has the guaranteed to every citizen of our country.

Other than a brief paranoid flash that 1 should cover up my UB sticker in a National Guard armored personnel carrier went by, I started to get down on myself again. How come I didn’t know that something had happened, why wasn’t I more together, what the hell was going on? All of which may, and indeed, should, sound familiar. It is exactly the way I beat myself up for everything else, as outlined earlier on in this mess. What made me even more anxious was realizing that on that day, at that particular time, I did not care what had happened at Hayes. I wanted to go home and bury my head in my own private sand pile. There are rationalizations, of course, of course I have rationalizations for just about anything and at very short order. In this case it amounted to a plague on everybody’s house. Which is closely coneected to the “all governments are to be treated with suspicion verging on paranoia until proved otherwise and that Amendment to the Constitution of the United States) (Emphasis added) 2. . . aVo Stale shall make or enforce any law (1st which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law .

When you refused to allow an expenditure of students’ money, allocated by the students’ the legal representatives, Student Association, you showed our nation that these rights are worth exactly $1300. To justify your action by saying it would have been spent for political purposes is stretching common sense a bit out of shape. Spent to correct . . what some citizens regard as a social and legal injustice, yes; but not spent for political purposes. On the contrary, your actions have a decidedly political taste to them. I defy you to name one, just one, politician who would get a penny of those monies. The students wanted to legally hire buses to travel to their state capital to petition their government. When our University system arbitrarily violates the supreme law of the land, just how in the world do you expect the young people to appreciate the sanctity of that law. As the U.S. Supreme Court said in Mapp V. Ohio, 367 U.S. 634 (1961). “Nothing can destroy a government more quickly than its failure to observe its own laws.” 1 call upon you to change your decision concerning these expenditures. Remember, the failure to correct a mistake is, in itself, another mistake. In view of the tragic events of the recent national political past, the fewer mistakes we allow to go uncorrected, the greater the chances of our government surviving in tact. Thank you for your consideration. I remain. Louis A Starr President Student Association, ECCN �Self-defeating violence Correction To the Editor. To the Editor choose The Guest Opinion column in Monday’s The Spectrum attributed to me was released without my attributed to me. Our campus activists must be commended for consistency and for their exquisite sense of timing. Perhaps these virtues exist because they “have no leaders” as the Attica Support Group in Hayes HalLsaid last Friday. A month ago, the Revolutionary Student Brigade distributed a plea, written by Professor Lawler, for students and Faculty to write to their representatives at Albany, asking for restoration of the cuts in the University budget. Now, the Attica Support Group have persuaded the Student Association to appropriate $1300 of student fees to support their trip to Albany to demonstrate. And they have given, by their actions Friday, a portent of what they might do, there. As this is written, we do not know what will happen Monday at Albany; but we certainly hope that they will refrain from self-defeating violence. The timing of the demonstration and occupation at Buffalo, and the planned expedition to Albany, are simply superb because the Legislature is considering the University’s requests for restoration of the cuts from our budget! Surely our activists know that the riots of 1970 were a major contributor to the success of the budget-cutters, in recruiting undecided legislators and legislators who are hostile to public Universities, to accomplish the deletion of funds. Surely they know that the lines for stipends of graduate students can be eliminated by law, and that there are legislators who would like to do just that. There are rumors that the private universities of this state would be very happy to accept funds that are taken away from us. but nostalgia for the Nostalgia is all right "golden age” when the University was growing, with the aid of ever-increasing funding from Albany, is slightly futile in 1975. But it is totally futile if it is combined with nostalgia for the intoxicating days of 1970, when we all had so much fun rioting and and in Santa Barbara, California burning banks libraries, as we did with the Spanish collection, here Which do we wish to bring back, the time when the University was growing, and when there was an intellectual ferment on campus? Or the time when the University was in a state of violent and self-destructive disruption?

Your answer should run something like this: Well, windows were broken; the police came on arrested; were the students campus; Administration, Faculty and Students got oh yes U.B. became known as uptight; and the “Berkeley of the East.” Now, if you would, please sit back and ask yourself this: What did the sit-in demonstration that the Attica supporters had at Hayes Hall on Friday accomplish? Your answer: Well, windows were broken; police came on campus; students were arrested; the Administration, Faculty, and Students got oh yes U.B. was reaffirmed as uptight; and the “Berkeley of the East.” Now. for every answer to the first question that is similar to an answer to the second question, please kick yourself one time. Congratulations! You can now proudly stand up and say that you have been the “first” to learn from the mistakes of attempting to communicate through emotional shouting-matches rather than by persuasion and a well-planned course of action. Yes. you can now understand that the which phrase “a failure to communicate” everyone believed went out of style with the “generation gap" and Marshal McLuhan succinctly describes what happened on Friday Both the Administration and the students because of the emotionalism and mistrust surrounding the demonstration in Hayes overreacted to a situation that could have been averted if calmer heads would have prevailed. In retrospect, it seems that both sides were culpable to some degree of causing the violence that ensued. This statement is true of most situations where both sides circumvent their available channels of communication and decide to take events into their own hands. Thus, thinking logically for a minute, can demonstration really be described as “peaceful’' where the participants take over any area, refuse people to leave, verbally harass them and refuse to communicate with the other side? In the same context, is not one “overreacting” when one calls outside coercive police forces to quell a situation where one has not communicated with the other side? Clearly, both sides are not lily white. Similarly and a fact which has been overlooked both sides are culpable of committing a grevious offense against the vast majority of the University community that wisely sat and watched the events run their course. Unfortunately, the time for those of us who have remained uninvolved with the issues in conflict last Firday has drawn to an end. The reason for this is a series of pragmatic considerations that none of us can close our eyes to: First, the fact that ten students were arrested in the milieu. Although seven-to-eight of these students have been permitted to continue their education this semester, the University charges against these students for trespassing have not been dropped. Needless to say, unless a highly competent system of justice is employed to get the facts surrounding the charges against these students, they will be marked as deviant troublemakers, when those charges in fact may be unjustified. Thus, there is a humanitarian aspect to the considerations all of us must make. Secondly, we must all take a close look at the many accusations that have been made by 3 — - - - - Robert J Good - Professor - Watch out for landlords To the Editor. week, I attended a very enlightening workshop on leasing off-campus housing, run by the legal-aid clinic.

And yet, none of these accusations have been authentically verified by any investigative committee that will objectively assess the facts of the situation. Thus, those of us uninformed about what actually took place will run the risk of identifying with one side in the conflict without knowing the facts. And it’s exactly this type of situation which the perpetrates misunderstandings and increases the possibilities of another violent outbreak occurring. And who think it in their right minds would sincerely “cool” and “heavy” to have another April 25th incident? Only those unthinking dilettantes who revel in calling U.B. the “Berkeley of the East” and the “hotbed of student activism.” Well, we submit to you, “Why the hell should we be the Berkeley of the East?” The answer should become clearer to all of us. We must all begin to see through the heavy curtain of emotionalism which surrounds the issues and attempt to put both conflicting sides in perspective. Once this is done, the tougher task is before all of us; namely, to levy pressure on both the Administration and the students who were involved in the incident to cease the highly explosive rhetoric that has done nothing more than accuse the other for what happened. This “pressure” implies that we must demand from all sides to be “open” in their accounts of the altercation, to the entire University community. Both sides must present us with a factual account of what they saw occurring on the day in question. Furthermore, it would be wise for all of us to request that a mechanism of sorts in the form of a University-wide committee be established to investigate the facts. Perhaps in this way we can get to the crux of the issues at hand and determine if “Attica is all of us” or if “Attica is None of us” or whether our mandatory student fees are ours “to play with” or are ours “to play with, with certain restrictions.” Most importantly, our actions in attempting to achieve this perspective may bring a greater degree of justice to the ten students whose very careers are on the line for something they may not be guilty of committing. If all of us do not take these steps necessary to clear the air of the mistrust and resentment running high between the Administration and students involved, then we all may be considered accomplises to the act that occurred on Friday. Indeed, we may be setting ourselves up for a similar occurrence in the days ahead. For, we all would be guilty of not communicating our beliefs to develop a deeper perspective of things. And when we refuse to learn from our mistakes we permit the divisive effects of factionalism and recriminations to control the University’s pulse. And when these twin purveyors of doom are permitted to run rampant, the University as an “educational institution providing an open forum for all peoples,” will die. All of our rights will be abrogated because of our refusal to act. Thus, let us make all sides the Attica supporters, the Administration, the Student Association, The Faculty, and Security responsible to all of us for an explanation of what actually occurred. Then, individually, we can each make an assessment of the situation. Let’s stop kicking ourselves and learn from our mistakes. If we don’t, well get a sore ass and very little “education.” After all, isn’t “education” what we’re here for? — - — — — — - — Wednesday, 30 April 1975 . The Spectrum . Page nine �Outside Deplore violence To the Editor. by Clem Colucci I want to publicly state, for what it’s worth, my support of the students’ rights in the incidents surrounding the demonstrations. There has not been equal justice on Attica. The students did have a definite right for the SA allocation, since the precedent had already been established. The students had a right to protest and demonstrate. However, the students had no right to do any violence. Even if President Ketter and Campus Security over-reacted, the students had no right to do bodily harm to Security officers, especially stabbing with an ice pick! Security should be praised for using discretion and acting with restraint in a situation they probably should never have been called to. The students also did not have a right to tear down the material of the Royal Circus and destroy an SA funded function that many on this campus wanted to see and had a definite right to see. 1 support the movement to get equal justice in the Attica case, but 1 deplore the violent action which causes hatred, more violence, and looses support for an extremely important cause! Spoiled Attica crybabies To the Editor It seems to me that the SA has done it-again. First, they vote that the whole student body supports the “Attica Brothers” and now they want to have buses to go to Attica to prove their stupidity. The SA in SUNY at Binghamton is just as dumb for giving money away to a foolish cause. Mobs, like the one outside of Hayes on Friday, April 25, don’t mean a damn thing; except that when a group of acsholes get together they can fart harmoniously. Ketter took the right actions except for a few — — things: 1. This is a University, a place to learn, not a nursery school. If these “spoiled Attica crybabies” want to complain, tell them to bitch to "Mommy and Daddy.” I would have expelled or suspended the whole lot of “students” after the warning. 2. If that didn’t work I’d bust heads like many of these crybabies’ parents should have 3. If these people still persisted I would have chartered the buses to Attica and left the goddamn idiots there for a week or two so they will have something to bitch about. 4. Since the whole thing is a joke, why won’t the SA charter me a couple of tickets and a bus to Montreal for the Sabres-Canadians Series. Mike LoVullo Misguided benevolence To the Editor. I refer to an article appearing in the April 11, 1975 issue of The Spectrum written by Mr. Andrew Sacks, “New GSA Fights Cutbacks.” The contents of this referenced article, to the Educational Opportunity Program, if an accurate reporting of the views and assessments of Mr. Perry DiFilippo, President of the Graduate Student Association finds him in error on several counts and 1 would like to set the record straight on two of them. Mr. DiFilippo is quoted as saying, “sometimes, they (EOP) give credit for free.” What he means by “credit for free” is unclear, but the EOP is not a subunit of a credit granting entity (i.e., faculty or college) and therefore offers no courses for credit. Where EOP students are enrolled for credit, they are expected to earn them in accordance with the course requirements. Moreover, nothing within the policy structure of EOP nor current implementations of said policy structure requests, implies or promotes “special treatment at the expense of education” for either its minority or non-minority students. We appreciate the interest Mr. DiFilippo has expressed in the welfare of the undergraduate based EOP. Moreover, his announced concern is even more admirable when one observes the insistent and complex problems at the graduate level, not the least of which is the less than equitable numbers of minority graduate students and TA’s at this and other institutions in the State and GSA itself. So if he wishes to leave a building in need of housecleaning to apply his wisdom to the correction of our malaise, we suggest he be guided by the kind of truths available upon consultation with us rather than trust a vision garnered through a refractory medium from a distant “I know what’s good for you people” perch. “She knew?” “She caught me.” “Oh.” “She didn’t enjoy it at all. I was so bummed . month.” “Even when 1 could hold out it didn’t help. No normal woman can take the punishment for long. More than one or two ejaculations could break a woman’s back. 1 got tired of one night stands.” “And that’s why you and Lois “That’s right. I really did love Lois Lane, but I couldn’t inflict myself on her. I might have crushed her in the heat of orgasm.” couldn’t find any “Too bad you super-powered woman.” “I did have a fling with Wonder Woman for a while, but it didn’t work out. The only other possibility is my cousin Supergirl, but I don’t find incest appealing.” “Does she have similar problems?” “She did. She tried for years to lose her virginity, but no normal man could break her invulnerable hymen.” “How “She lost it in the bottle city of-Kandor, where Kryptonians lose their super powers. The little slut spends half her time there now.” “That’s noway to talk about family.” “Oh no? Let me tell you about the time she and Krypto . . .” “I don’t think I want to hear.” Superman gazed out the window for awhile, then turned to me. ‘i’ll never forgive Jimmy Olsen.” “Why? What did he do?” “Back when we were on the Daily Planet together, I took him under my wing and taught him the reporter’s trade the way Perry White taught me. Then the backstabbing sonofabitch took the city desk when I was in line for it.” “What will you do now?” “1 have my job at WGBS for two more years then it’s madatory retirement. I’ll write my memoirs afterwards.” “Whose, Clark Kent’s or Superman’s?” “Both. Then I’ll reveal my secret identity and both sets will sell out. The royalties should be enough to buy a piece of beach property in Florida. Then I’ll be endorsing products. I just signed a contract for a leotard company.” “Leotards?” “Sure. I’ve worn them since well, however long it’s been. And if Joe Namath can endorse panty hose I can endorse leotards.” “1 guess no one will dare laugh.” “We’re here, gentlemen,” the driver said. I walked Superman through the lobby of the Metropolis Hilton under everyone’s stares and led him into the main ballroom. Superman entered to a thundering round of applause from his associates. Batman, nearing retirement himself, shook his hand. His old enemy Braniac was blubbering like a child, Lois gave him a kiss on the cheek. Superman’s eyes started to water. I couldn’t stay any longer and turned away. As 1 left, Superman shook my hand. It hurt all week. . — Alternative proposals To the Editor 1 have been a member of the Student Assembly for two Administrations (soon to be three) and I would like propositions to suggest alternatives to some other students have had published in The Spectrum. First, mandatory fees. 1 feel that a system by which students earmark parts of their fees for certain areas might run into serious distortions. Part of my decision lies with how much you are allocating relative to how much I think that club or activity should have; therefore, if everyone were omniscient the system would work fine. We are not all knowing and so I suggest instead a comprehensive surveying technique which could provide a relevant guideline Stay at the ‘Beef To the Editor. Upon reading Wila Bassen’s critique of the Muldaur-Anderson concert, we realized that the ability to be both melodious and meaningful is no longer a respected art. In our opinion, Eric Anderson is not only a great lyricist, but also a fine musician with one of the best all-around voices in folk music today. Edward S Jenkins Director. EOF In out I was impotent for a “That’s too bad.” “It was never easy being Superman,” the Man ofSteel sighed. I watched him pull in his stomach as he stood before the mirror. He could not hide the roll of inevitable age-flab covering those abdomible muscles that once stood out like granite blocks through his tunic. The four decades of fighting for Turth, Justice and the American Way had taken their toll. Superman was going to retire. “Hand my my cape, would you please?” Silently, I took the cape with the famous red S from the closet. It was frayed around the edges and I couldn’t look into Superman’s eyes as he took it. He had been my idol for years, and now it was over. He brushed his hair, the deep blue streaked with grey, trying in vain to cover the spreading bald spot at the crown of his head. He sighed again, set the brush down on the dresser, and put the cape over his powerful shoulders. “Let’s go, Clem.” We left the apratment and walked to the elevator. It was slow and Superman was getting impatient. He forced his hands between the doors and tugged. They wouldn’t budge. He took a deep breath and tugged again. The doors flew apart and he grabbed the elevator cables, pulling on them until the elevator reached our floor. “In the old days, 'ythat wouldn’t have happened,’’ he said. \ We stepped into the elevator and rode down. At the ground level, a Itfnousine sent by millionaire Bruce Wayne secretly Batman, waited. The Superman’s occasional partner doorman helped us in and we drove off. “You wouldn’t believe the things I’ve been asked to do, Clem,” he said. “Keep it under your hat, but the CIA wanted me to handle Project Jennifer, but Howard Hughes made a better deal.” “Really?” “Yeah. And LBJ wanted to use me when he stopped bombing North Vietnam." “Did Nixon ever ask you to do anything?” “You wouldn’t want to know.” “You’re probably right.” “A lot of people envy me.” Superman said wistfully, “but if they knew the problems these powers of mine cause me . . .” “Such as?” “My sex life, for one thing. I could never satisfy a woman because I was . . .” “Let me guess. Faster than a speeding bullet? “It’s not funny. 1 just couldn’t last long enough.

Shari Lewis �Interest in nostalgia brings back old college yearbooks After a decline in the (CPS) ’60s and early ’70s, college late yearbooks appear to be making a bigger and better comeback before, ever according to than yearbook publishers. many “Yearbooks for a while were pretty much status quo, then many schools dropped yearbooks entirely,” said Carl Peterson, a from Western representative Publishing. “Now we find many schools are bringing the yearbook back again. I think the yearbook is becoming more traditional again,” he claimed. One example is Loyola University in Chicago which discontinued the Loyolan in 1972 after the yearbook was plagued by financial and managerial problems. - - Several publishing representatives pointed to an increase in nostalgia as a prime reason for the resurgence of college yearbooks. “I think there is a return to a nostalgia-type thing among the young people in the nation,” suggested Paul Coram of Pischel Yearbooks. “Yearbooks have a definite place in the school life of the average student and they’re interested in acquiring one for their own personal use.” Jim Hunter, president of Hunter Yearbooks, agreed there is a trend back to yearbooks.

And at Ohio State University, interest was high enough that one Tower, Lincoln dormitory, decided to produce its own yearbook in addition to the university’s.

There has been no apparent surge of interest in the yearbook at the State University at Buffalo, however, according to Clem Colucci, Editor of the Colucci Mr. Buffalonian. attributed this to the less than adequate paperback volume of the 1973 Buffalonian. “We had a bad year in 1973, and after that, we had trouble getting money,” he said.

Polygraphs and jobs A job-desperate graduate completes his application form (he’s more than qualified), is interviewed by the personnel manager (they grew up in the same state), and is confident he is about to be hired. “One more thing.” “Yes?” “We want you to take a polygraph test. It’s voluntary of course, but if you refuse. I’m afraid we can’t hire you.” Should the applicant submit in order to be hired or should he refuse on the grounds that a “lie detector” test is degrading and dehumanizing, an abuse of his right to privacy? This dilemma is faced daily by hundreds of potential employees and has become a growing concern to civil libertarians. No recourse There are currently only 13 states which have laws limiting or banning use of the polygraph for employment purposes. These are Alaska, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Washington. In all other states an applicant has no legal recourse if he is not hired because he refuses to submit to a polygraph test. According to The Privacy Project a newsletter published by the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation, there are serious functional and ethical problems with lie detector testing , have been convicted 2) Submission to a polygraph test is not voluntary, either in screening or later when an employee suspected of theft is fired for refusing to take a test. The conclusion that it is mandatory raises constitutional arguments involving violations of due process and the right of privacy. 3) The common practice of keeping a file of polygraph tests results invites the compilation of company black lists and the establishment of polygraph “banks.” 4) The polygrapher hired by an employer has a strong incentive to be overly selective to insure that his client will be satisfied with the employee. Most employers rely totally upon the polygrapher’s recommendation. A 1974 Senate subcommittee on constitutional rights found that most polygraph licensing requirements were insufficient and generally criticized existing laws for evading the real issues. The subcommittee concluded that “expediency is not a valid reason for pitting individuals against a degrading machine and process that pries into their inner thoughts.

Women more versatile Most of the two sport women gave different reasons why there are more two sport women than two sport men. “Girls are just waking up to sports, and when a girl discovers it, she goes all out at first and joins more than one sport,” observed Dolan. “Women are just starting to train, and don’t quite have the competitiveness that men have,” said Dellwardt. Some of the women mentioned scholarships to explain why most male athletes specialize in one area. “The guys are expected to be proficient in one game,” commented Palczynski. Does devoting so much time to sports hurt their marks? “No,” Dellwardt replied. “You have to work a lot harder, though.” She added that the comparative smallness of the women’s schedules makes it easier for them to double up.

Carr won all four of his matches in the SUNY Center meet, teaming with Lenny Gross for two doubles victories after winning two matches ih singles.

Basketball and volleyball star Marilyn Dellwardt declared, “I tried it, and it was one of the best things to do. It’s enjoyable, and I feel like I’m accomplishing something,” added the physical education major. Women who aren’t Physical Education majors but who play two sports do so for their own personal pleasure. Pat Dolan, a member of the Held Editor’s note: Last Wednesday, Dave Hnath reported on the upsurge of male athletes competing in more than one variety sport at Buffalo.

Dr. Siggelkow stuck by the earlier decision and recommended that the allocation be blocked. “The new material changed the wording but did not convince me that the intent had been altered,” he said.

The University Administration rejected Friday a request by the Law School Student Bar Association (SBA) to . use mandatory student fees to fund bus transportation to the Attica rally in Albany today. The decision by Anthony Lorenzetli, associate Vice President for Student Affairs, came shortly after President Robert Ketter upheld Dr. Lorenzetti’s previous decision to deny a similar request by the undergraduate Student Association — .

The Binghamton Student of the Student Association; those must be exceeding $1,000 Association and the SUNY-wide Faculty-Senate have also called for investigations of the arrests and suspension of ten students here. In a related development, the Binghamton administration approved an expenditure of more than $600 of mandatory fee monies to transport students to the Albany activities. The buses will also be stopping at the State University College at Oneonta. statement a released In Saturday (see pages six and the Binghamton seven), SA requested that a committee of representatives University at from the State Buffalo’s Student Association, Faculty-Senate Professional and Staff Senate be formed to “conduct a thorough investigation of the actions of the administration and of any other culpable parties involved in the recent disturbances.” Drop charges It also asked that all charges, both academic and criminal, be dropped against every student participated who the in demonstration. Additionally, the Binghamton student government demanded that the $1300 allocated by SA for buses to transport students to today’s rally and workshops in Albany “for educational purposes” immediately be approved by University President Robert Ketter. In a separate statement, the SUNY-wide Faculty-Senate called for a similar investigation by the same bodies to determine whether unwarranted force was used by of the parties involved, any reasonable efforts were made to avoid conflict, basic constitutional rights were violated, and if there was “inappropriate use of academic penalties.” The funds for the Binghamton loan will be taken from a $30,000 bank account of non-mandatory fee monies .that the SA there accumulated several years ago from voluntary contributions before there was a mandatory fee. Voluntary funds Apparently, the school’s student government had at one time solicited money from the finance body student construction of a tavern adjacent to the campus, since the school did not have a liquor license. When the University eventually a procured license and the fee mandatory system was adopted, the funds that were collected were put into a special account for “political purposes,” according to one spokesman. The funds, which now total about $30,000 because of the interest has that sizeable accumulated, can be allocated student government. Expenditures of less than $1,000 can be approved by a vote approved by a referendum of the student body. According to the terms of the loan, the Attica Support Group has five years to pay the money back, at no interest. The group plans to raise the money through an fund-raising intensive campaign. Students protest requests Both for an investigation were spearheaded by a protest Friday evening on the Binghamton campus by about 300 students, who paraded into a between the meeting Faculty-Senate and Chancellor Boyer after receiving word about the arrests of 10 persons here from SA President Michele Smith and representatives of the Attica Support Group. According to Bill Gordon, student government President at Binghamton, the students walked into the dining hall where the conference was taking place, planted themselves along the periphery of the room and demanded that the Chancellor make a statement abcwt the Buffalo arrests. Mr, Gordon said the Chancellor agreed to allow him and another student to address the faculty with a list of demands. After they finished speaking, Dr. Boyer told the students that he would meet with them immediately after his meeting with the faculty ended. But the students refused to leave until Dr. Boyer “started some positive answers our demands,” Mr. Gordon said. He indicated that the Chancellor finally acquiesced and answering to cancelled his activities for the rest of the evening All the facts After relating to Dr, Boyer what had happened on the Buffalo campus, he reportedly replied that he could not make a decision on their demands without knowing all the facts. Mr. Gordon said that when the students asked to him immediately telephone Dr. Ketter, he refused, stating that he preferred to explore the situation in a calm, deliberative manner. “By saying here that 1 would go to Buffalo, I would be lowering my integrity,” the Chancellor was quoted as saying. Mr. Gordon said the meeting with Dr. Boyer lasted from 9:15 to about I 1 00 and became tense at one point when a few of the students grew impatient and became critical of the Chancellor. The the day, following students met with the Executive Committee of the SUNY-wide Faculty-Senate, whitfh agreed to present the resolution asking for the investigation to the voting membership. The full membership passed the motion a few hours later. Charles Reitz, age 29, one of the ten University students arrested at the demonstration Friday, struggles with Campus Security officers outside Hayes Hall. Mr. Reitz, who was later charged with criminal mischief, resisting arrest, and assault, was released on $1000 security. All ten students were suspended by President Ketter Saturday.

The demonstration was sponsored by the Jewish Student Union (JSU), Black Student Union (BSU), and the Jewish Defense League We are protesting that a party that has the same ideology (JDL). as the Nazi party of Adolf Hitler exists,” explained Stephen Laub, spokesperson for the JSU. The program was arranged so that members of the three groups could rebuke accusations by American Legion officers who exposed the existence of these organizations on the Channel 2 program Inquiry, earlier this month. “ , Threat Joseph Frechtman, commander of Coast Guard Post 1529 of the American Legion, claimed that these organizations create “a threat to the public order and a menace to peace, and is the prime attack against the black and Jewish communities of Buffalo.” He further charged them with funneling their hate propaganda through the White Power Bookstore . .” which is located at 2133 Bailey Avenue. Let us bear in mind,” Commander Frechtman said, “that the late Senator Huey Long in the late ’20’s said, ‘Fascism could come under the guise of Americanism’ .” Members of the White Power groups who appeared for the taping were Karl Hand, Jr-., coordinator of the White National Guard Party, and Nick Antorino, the party’s treasurer. The groups advocate racial separation, maintaining that the United States is essentially a white man’s country. to avoid genocide, if Mr. Hand elaborated the aims of his party possible, to preserve the white race and restore Christian moral values, and to establish a White American Constitutional Republic. Mr. Hand also said the Bookstore is private and that the press, Jews, Blacks, and police would not be admitted without a warrant. He said funding comes in the form of contributions and dues from ”... . “ . . . — members. Sixty-four members attended the last meeting, he claimed. After maintaining a vigil for about an hour and a half, the demonstrators were informed by police that Mr. Hand and Mr. Anterino had left the studio. Upon hearing this, Judy Friedler of the JSU said, “The cowards snuck out without showing their faces.” Friday’s taping of Inquiry will be aired on Channel 2 Sunday at 12 noon.

The Spectrum Monday 1 28‘April 1975 . , Women who regularly examine themselves for breast cancer are more likely to find the disease earlier and have smaller tumors when detected than women who fail to check, according to Vincent Capraro, a gynecologist at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Dr.-Capraro, clinical professor in obstetrics and gynecology, reported his study, which covered 25 years and 1360 patients, shows the importance of phsycians teaching women the self-exam procedures. “In nearly 95 percent of cases of cancer of the breast, the woman herself has discovered the lump. But at what stage she finds it can be terribly important,” Dr. Capraro said. “And to date, the most available, least time-consuming and inexpensive way to find the malignant lump is through the self-exam,” he said. The study of the Buffalo women showed that 83 percent of those taught to perform the exam would faithfully do so, but only 13 percent of those who had not been instructed would do likewise. And those performing the self-exam had tumors of only 1—2 centimeters when discovered compared with the non-examining group whose tumors when found were five centimeters or larger. Age over youth Surprising enough, 73 percent of the women age 50 and older regularly examined themselves, compared with only 29 percent of those under 20 and 63 percent of those 20—49. “Although the “Despite the advance of breast cancer detection younger women may have been aware of breat equipment such as thermography, mammography cancer, the older ones were more faithful about and special screening centers, the most inexpensive performing the exam because they had known and easily accesible route to early detection is still someone who had breast cancer,” Dr. Capraro the patient herself,” Dr. Capraro said. pointed out. Size of tumors when detected depended on whether the patient regularly performed the self-exam. Three groups of 51 women each, all of whom had tumors, were questioned. In the group previously taught to perform the exam, the tumors were only 1—2 centimeters when found. The women some who used the exam and in the second group others who did not had tumors ranging from 2-3 centimeters. But in the group who did not perform the exam, tumors were five centimeters or larger. — — Fear of lumps He said that until a reliable and inexpensive breast cancer test can be developed, many women go undected in the early stages. “We have seen what the PAP test has done to lower the mortality rate from uterine cancer, and hopefully we will someday have its equivalent for breast cancer. But until that time, every gynecologist should show his patients how to perform this exam,” Dr. Capraro advised. Last Great Show of the Year! �Amy Dunkin elected new by Howard Greenblatt Editor-in-Chief Contributing Editor A “Student Editor of The Spectrum , was elected Editor-in-Chief for 1975-76 last Thursday. An English major in her junior year, Ms. Dunkin has been a member of The Spectrum staff for the last three years. Before becoming Managing Editor last June, she spent her freshman and sophomore years as Staff Writer and Campus Editor, respectively. Ms. Dunkin said her major goal Editor will be to “get the number of students greatest involved in major University decisions,” such as those involving tenure and the budget. She said she hopes to accomplish this by using The Spectrum as a vehicle as “disseminating information and swaying opinion through the editorial actions.” Ms. Dunkin believes The its Spectrum has broadened appeal over the last couple of years by covering items which greater variety of involve a University constituencies. Extensive coverage In addition to exploring new issues that arise, she said The Spectrum will probably continue to cover many of the topics covered over the last year. “Attica will be an ongoing issue for many years to come,” she explained. Ms. Dunkin plans on having several four or eight page or "mini-Dimensions,” abbreviated versions of Dimension, Spectrum's The feature magazine. They would be based on topics decided by the paper’s staff editors at monthly meetings of the editorial board, she said. “1 would like to see a bit more creativity in the paper, possibly in form of more featurey the centerfolds front-page art or more or photos,” —Santos Amy Dunkin publication of Guest Opinions at least once a week. A native of Queens, N.Y., Ms. Dunkin claims she “never wrote for a newspaper before coming to The Spectrum She said her only journalistic experience before entering college was “typing stories for the Hilltopper, the student newspaper at Bill of Rights and for Responsibilities,” calling significant changes in University toward academics and policy housing, has been proposed by of the representatives Inter-Residence Council (IRC) Amy Dunkin, Managing for Student Bill of Rights written Jamaica High School.” and Student Association (SA). A brand new due-process procedure by which students may file academic grievances, and safeguards against “invasion of privacy” for students residing in are the among dormitories, reforms called for in the proposed Bill of Rights. “If the (academic] grievances are justified,” the Bill of Rights states, “appropriate steps would be taken affording a suitable remedy. In extreme cases this may include offering the student a free course or refunding his money.” According to the proposed document, residence hall staff would not be allowed to enter a student’s without his room permission unless there is an “immediate threat to the safety or well-being to the occupants of the room.” This proposed reform directly contradicts the specific terms of Hall the Residence Contract which students must sign before being assigned a room. The contract states that “the University problems will be with the Office enter reserves the right to assigned the room accommodations at any time.” “We feel that the stipulation (in the contract] is an invasion of a student’s right of privacy, which was a major factor considered in writing the Bill of Rights,” explained Steven Schwartz, SA Director of Student Affairs. The idea of a student Bill of Rights has been “kicked around” for a long time, Mr. Schwartz said. The first effort to draft one was by made last September undergraduate Bob Burrick and Hilary Lowell. Ron Stein and Ron Dollman of the Office of Student Affairs were also “instrumental in advisory Mr. help,” giving Schwartz reported. The proposed Bill of Rights was approved by the Student Assembly last Thursday, and has been given to the IRC for their approval, which is expected this week. Mr. Schwartz, Mr. Burrick and IRC President Dave Brownstein have called for a meeting this week with University Housing officials Madison Boyce, Cliff Wilson and Colette Romano. The purpose of the meeting will be “to get feedback from Housing, so that we can anticipate what the reaction will be to the proposed reforms,” Mr. Brownstein said. “I expect that the biggest of Environmental Health and Safety and Campus Security, because if any administrative power is being weakened, it is theirs,” Mr. Brownstein said in reference to the Bill of Rights’ provisions against invasion of privacy. SA Academic Affairs Director Dave Shapiro will meet with Faculty-Senate chairman George Hochfield this week to discuss the effects the Bill of Rights would have on the University’s academic policies. Dr. Hochfield will present the proposed Bill of Rights to the Faculty-Senate Executive Committee, which will decide whether to place it on the agenda of the next Faculty-Senate meeting. “The ultimate decision lies in Dr. Ketter’s.hands,” Mr. Schwartz said. “We are going through all of these other channels first so that he will have a great deal of feedback in considering the proposal.” The proposed Bill of Rights is expected to be on Dr. Ketter’s desk by the last day of classes Mr. Brownstein said, “and I would like him to have approved it by the end of finals week.” He said this would enable him to inform the incoming freshmen of their at rights and responsibilities summer orientation. , AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. full Ms. Dunkin indicated.

If the administration had deliberately sought an atmosphere that could not help but lead to violence, it could not have planned its actions any better than it did. By initially ignoring the demonstrating students and later refusing to meet with them in a unified group. President Robert Ketter proved that he has a shallow understanding of the factors which cause and prevent eruptions within the academic community. The students who amassed at Hayes were aware from the very beginning that no matter what they did, the administration still had final say over the expenditure of all manditory fee monies. All they really hoped for was an opportunity to have a group discussion with the President of the University. By planting themselves along the aisles of Hayes, before ever deciding to block the entrance of Dr. Ketter's office, the students were merely dramatizing their anger over being denied funds which the Student Association voted to give them. When the students, frustrated at being ignored, decided to blockade Dr. Ketter's doorway, they did so for purely symbolic reasons. Their need to extract a concession, even one as unmomentous as Dr. Ketter's agreeing to meet with them in Hayes lobby, stemmed from their frustration with the inequities of University governance. If Dr. Ketter had taken the trouble to come out and speak with a unified group, as the students requested, it might have shown them that the administration believes they comprise an important and viable segment of the University community. Certainly, Dr. Ketter should have forseen that by behaving in the manner in which he did, the students would become even more outraged and take actions that were certain to bring them into contact with the police. It is appalling that he lacked the sensitivity to understand that the elaborate security measures, aimed at preventing a disruption, merely manifested to the students the very closed, guarded decision- making process that prompts them to take disruptive actions. In a telephone interview Saturday evening, Dr. Ketter justified his refusal to speak with a unified group, saying that once they had blocked the entrance to his office, the students were violating the University's "procedures” for free speech and access. Under these conditions, he explained, it would have been "absolutely ridiculous" to meet with the students. It is reasoning like this that provoked the violence which occurred. The moment Dr. Ketter saw a large group of students milling around Hayes Hall Friday morning, he should have stopped what he was doing and come out of his office to speak with them. He had nothing to lose and everything to gain because he could still refuse to free the funds while demonstrating that he respected student opinion. So what if the routine business of the University had to be postponed for a few hours? What difference does it really make, in the long run, if one or two meetings have to be cancelled, paperwork has to be delayed, and procedures have to be altered. It is always difficult to legislate morality for an entire University community. Vet there are times when those in positions of authority have a responsibility to part with mechanical procedures and cope with moral issues, particularly when the question has considerably agitated their largest constituency. In this case, the routine constraints of law and order should have been slightly bent to accommodate what any perceptive individual would have recognized as a tense and potentially explosive situation. Dr. Ketter's punitive, overreactive measures, aimed at quelling the disturbance rather than getting to the source of the problem administration control of student funds is reminiscent of hasty and tragic actions that have been taken in recent years by many appointed and elected officials in the name of law — — and order. It is almost ludicrous that the arrested students were suspended over the weekend, because in Dr. Ketter's own words, their "presence on campus constitutes a clear and present danger to the welfare of this University." One of the most admirable attributes of a person in power is his ability to resist using that power. By showing a total absence of restraint during Friday's disruptions, the administration instigated all of the violence that occured and proved beyond a doubt that it does not understand the tensions which spur unrest at a University campus. — Page six The Spectrum . Monday, 28 . 1975 Guest Opinion possible subjection to rearrest. Student Association (SA) is now coord mating, action to protect the rights of these students, and to insure that due process is exercised in an effort to prevent any more injustices from being inflicted. Under the rules of campus disorder, a student is entitled to a show-cause hearing. However, this right was, in fact, buried in a two-line statement in an eight page document called Procedures of the Hearing Committee on Campus disruptions. Meanwhile, the fbrward to this document admits that the procedure is written in “legal language.” No layman, especially a frightened and confused student, should be expected to understand their rights as presented in this bewildering manner. SA President, Michele Smith believes this action by Dr. Ketter is misleading. The adminstration is deliberately trying, SA believes, to scare the students. Had SA not directly contacted the 10 students involved, none of the student defendants would have clearly understood their rights to a show-cause hearing. The SA considers the administration’s actions to be another example of administrative overreaction and reprisal. SA again calls upon President Ketter to respect the rights of the individual students whose only crime was the exercise of their rights to free speech and free assembly. We appeal to all parents and members of the community to express their dismay on this matter and urge these severe academic penalties and infringement on basic human rights be ended once and for all.” Editor’s Note: The following statement, concerning the warrants issued by President Robert Ketter to each of the 10 students arrested Friday, was released yesterday by the StudentAssociation. On the evening of April 26, Campus Security, acting on behalf of SUNYAB President Ketter, served warrants on the 10 students arrested April 25. The students, up to that time, had been free on bail, persona] recognizance, or in the custody to their lawyers. These warrants informed the 10 students that they were officially suspended from the University and they must leave the U.B. campus immediately. This leaves the dorm students without living quarters. In the words of the opening statement on the warrants, "... you are barred from participating in any University activity or entering onto or being in any property owned or operated by SUNY at Buffalo. If you are found in violation of the above conditions, you stand liable to being charged with criminal trespass under the PernI Law of the State of New York. " These warrants have evicted the students without any explanation from authorities about their future at the University. They were left by security officers holding a legal form with no explanation or guidance about what they could do on their own behalf. They were isolated from information necessary for their own well being, and could only have felt fear, confusion and a total sense of frustration. Those students from the dorms were left in total ignorance of their status as residents and Guest Opinion Edith’s Note: The following statement was submitted by Terry DiEiUppo. President of the Graduate Student Association (GSA). and Phyllis Schafaer, President of the Millard Fillmore College Student Association (MFCSA ). anti-thesis or contradiction between activity that is political and activity that is educational. In fact, the Constitutional guarantee of freedoms of speech, press and assembly is based on the proposition that there can be no truly democratic political activity unless all citizens are free to including students educate and be educated with respect to political issues. If they are to be settled in a democratic manner, political issues require that the public educate itself concerning them. As persons with privileged access to society’s stores of information and knowledge, students are often obliged to take a leading role in the political self-education of the public that is necessary in a demoncracy. - We hold the Ketter administration fully and exclusively responsible for the violence, injury and arrests of April 25. The administration’s attempt to usurp the right of students to determine autonomously how they will spend their money was a deliberate act of provocation against U.B students. Students duly responded to this provocation with a peaceful sit-in at the Adminsitation building. The Ketter administration then escalated its attack on the students by sending riot-equipped police and dogs against them. This resulted in the arrest of -ten students and many bodily injuries. Students have a formal right to expend their funds for activities such as the Albany Attica Rally which have significant educational and cultural value. However, having no police force with which to back up their right, students could immediately respond to the Ketter administration’s illegal impoundment of their funds only by a peaceful assembly or demonstration to express, their protestations. Public assemblies or demonstrations are modes of political activity guaranteed by the American Constitution and Bill of Rights. The Constitution’s purpose in guaranteeing the right of assembly is to provide means for the public to become informed or educated about important political issues. Unlike Hayes Hall, the Constitution does not recognize any — The Ketter administration is entrenching itself in opposition to democracy and in opposition to the education of the public. Ketter is blocking student funding for the Attica demonstration, the purpose of which is the self-education of the public concerning the political issues of Attica. Ketter barbarically smashed the peaceful student sit-in, the purpose of which was the political self-education of the public with regard to Ketter’s illegal impoundment of student funds. The stupidity and tyranny of the Ketter adrninsitration in these matters has been a disgrace to our University. The adminsitration’s persistence in withholding student monies and in violating student’s rights is a continuing aggression against student self-government and against democracy in general. If this aggression does not soon cease, we will consider pressing for the resignation or removal of President Ketter and the other irresponsible officials in his administration. �Guest Opinion Editor's note: The following statement was endorsed Friday evening by 250 students. Guest Opinion decision our democratically-elected student representatives and concerning fundamental student rights, we feel that it is necessary to set the record straight as to what has transpired here today and to clearly place the blame where it belongs. With ten students arrested and charged with numerous misdemeanor and' felony counts, and scores more facing academic reprisals and possible, expulsion; with several Security people claiming to have been stabbed, and with newspaper and radio reports to the effect that students were carrying dangerous weapons, we feel that it is necessary to set the record straight: 1. Alleged “weapons” that the administration claims to have found included several cans of dog-food, dog leashes and lunch bags. 2. Photographic evidence and numerous eye-witness accounts indicate that what has been termed “stabbing” cut? were in fact received when Security personnel broke the glass window on the office door and reached through the broken glass to grab and subdue demonstrators sitting on the other side of the door. 3. Another source of the “stabbing” allegations is apparent medical reports that a Security officer suffered from “puncture” wounds; a wound which the Security officer evidently cannot even recall having received, and in all likelihood resulted from a glass splinter or from a similar inanimate object. In any event, there is apparently not enough evidence to connect this apparent wound with any action of any student. This allegation is especially ludicrous since some who were in police custody, who have been associated with the alleged assault, were at the time shackled by two sets of handcuffs and physically restrained by several Security personnel. 4. We feel that a lesson in media representation of the facts should be learned from the reports from Attica in September 1975. If we recall the reports of hostages with their throats slashed, and then the truth which was eventually disclosed that all the hostages were killed by bullets from law enforcement personnel, we can see that the reports which are gotten from the administrative and police sources can be misleading, inaccurate and often blatant untruths, disguised with the intention to discredit valid student protests and activism. On Thursday, April 24, more than 300 U.B. students spent several hours with Richard Siggelkow and Anthony Lorenzetti from the Office of Student Affairs to discuss the administration’s decision to impound the $1300 that our Student Association had allocated to pay for buses to transport students to a statewide conference in Albany on the issue of Amnesty for the Attica Brothers and related topics. During a patient and exhaustive discussion, we reiterated our position that the planned activity was clearly in conformity of SUNY Board of Trustees guidelines regulating the use of our funds, and pointed out that, if the allocation did not fall within the guidelines, that the guidelines were an unconstitutional denial of our First Amendment rights to freedom of speech, assembly and petition. In reply, Siggelkow and Lorenzetti not only refused to reconsider their decision, but questioned the truthfulness of our statements of fact without even bothering to investigate further, and showed an absolute lack of understanding of the constitutional issues raised by their decision. To protest what we consider to be an attack upon the right to self-determine the use of our own funds; and this a violation of our free speech and due process rights, on Friday, April 25 at 7:30 in the morning, students entered the lobby of Flayes Hall to engage in a peaceful, nonviolent sit-in in front of Dr. Ketter’s office. Soon after our arrival, after we demanded to speak with President Ketter, Campus Security personnel armed with billyclubs and accompanied by dogs surrounded the building and entered Dr. Ketter’s office through a window. When Dr. Siggelkow informed us that Dr. Ketter would meet with a few of our representatives if we left the building in five minutes, we replied that we would only consider this proposal if Campus Security withdrew from the area and took away their weapons and dogs. Within a few minutes, Campus Security attacked the demonstrators in the lobby. Several Security personnel apparently cut themselves when they smashed through the window to an office door with their arms, fists, and clubs, which they were unable to open because there were people sitting in front of it. At no time did the demonstrators block entrances to the building. While we are concerned that the real issues that we are raising here concerning the arbitrary and capricious administration decision to overrule a — - ■ of We feel that this is a most important point to remember in forming an idea of what actually happened Friday and is the reason why we felt the urgent need to express our view, the students’ view, on Friday’s demonstration. The Spectrum Monday, 28 April 1975 Vol. 25, No. 83 Editor-in-Chief — Kraftowitz Larry Managing Editor - Amy Dunkin Michael O'Neill Managing Editor Advertising Manager Gerry McKeen Neil Collins Business Manager Editor's Note: The following is the text of the resolution passed over the weekend by the State University at Binghamton student government. Student Association of the State University at Binghamton strongly condemns the use of unwarranted force by any member of the University community. We are appalled by the incident which occured at the University Center at Buffalo on April 25, in which 10 students were arrested while conducting a peaceful demonstration. We demand that all charges, both academic and criminal, be all students who in dropped against participated the demonstration. We urge the Chancellor to actively intervene on behalf of these students. We strongly urge Chancellor Boyer to go to Buffalo to gather the facts of the demonstration and arrests. We further ask that a committee be formed by the SUNY at Buffalo Student Association, hculty-Senate and Professional Staff Senate .to conduct a thorough investigation of the actions of the adminstration and of any other culpable parties involved in the recent disturbances. This investigation should seek 1.

Mr. Glennon and two other officers were trlated at Millard Fillmore hospital. Several officers pounced on the struggling Mr. Reitz at the same time. He resisted them on nearby steps for several moments. As more officers joined in, Mr. Reitz was grudgingly dragged out to a waiting Campus Security car. There he struggled again, bracing his arms and legs against the car to prevent himself from being pushed inside. As the crowd swelled around the car, the officers struck Mr. Reitz repeatedly on the arms and legs to loosen his grip on the car. A student already handcuffed and seated inside the car bolted and ran, helped by those around him, until one unsympathetic student tripped him, and pursuing officers apprehended him a second time. Encircled When forced encircled car Mr. Reitz was finally the students inside, the car, rocking it and trying to prevent the officers from driving away. Security officers pushed and butted students with their nightsticks, slamming them down on the hands and arms holding the car. Eventually, the car sped off with the prisoners inside, ending the mellee. The demonstrators, with hundreds in the midst of the 9:50 change of class looking on, regrouped and called for those who had viewed the encounter to join them as they moved toward the Campus Security offices on Winspear Avenue. They moved in a group into the backyards behind the two Campus Security houses. Buffalo *City police helped disperse the crowd and made three arrests. None of the three were part of the original demonstration. One was Glennon said that they didn’t know if photographs were taken of the demonstration for use by Security. However, Mr. Glennon admitted that Security does have access to photographs of the demonstration which may be used to identify “people involved in criminal activity.” Asked if this meant students who were not arrested, he said two Security officers were struck in the head with Hayes Hall was immediately closed off to everyone but student leaders and the press. It remained closed all weekend. Larger protest later About 300 students marched around the administration building later that day after noon to the protest Ketter met Association first notified about the demonstration. When asked if Security was called before the demonstrators actually began to assemble, he replied, “That is none of your business.” To the question, “What time was Security called?” he snapped, “That is none of your business, too.” Mr. Glennon denied reports that Security confiscated any weapons from students, calling it misinformation by one of the news stations. He also said guard was dogs were present protect officers. arrested demonstrators at their arraignments in Buffalo City Court before Judge Sam Green. a In telephone interview Saturday night, Dr. Ketter said he thought Security “reacted admirably” ' during Friday’s action. He said it would have been ridiculous” for him to have met with the demonstrators in Hayes lobby. The University is a free forum where no one has a right to impose their judgements on someong else and where there are certain “procedures” of free speech, Dr. Ketter asserted. “When a group acts in that fashion they have violated those procedures,” he said.

This indicate includes one security officer whp “puncture suffered from wounds,” which he assumed were inflicted by an ice-pick or screwdriver. However, the statement points out that the officer cannot even recall receiving the wound and “in all likelihood it resulted from a glass splinter or from a similar inanimate object,” which due to lack of evidence, cannot be connected to the action of any student.

Although a student is entitled to show-cause hearing under the rules of campus disorder, SA has charged that this right was buried in a two-line statement in an eight page document and that Dr. Ketter therefore mislead Ketter said the students were “adults” and should be able to discern from the document that they are entitled to a show-cause hearing*.

Eldred Stephens won four events, leaving most observers to simply muse, “Haven’t we seen this before?” But the people had never seen a Buffalo team finish this high in a SUNY center meet. The Bulls were in the running for the title until Albany State swept the three mile run, the next to last event. Albany finished with 70 points while the Bulls recorded 64 and a surprisingly strong Stony Brook team netted 49. Binghamton pulled up the rear with I 8. Increased scoring The final results were a far cry from the first SUNY Center meet held in Binghamton two years ago, when the Bulls finished dead last and scored low in the teens. Eldred’s fourth win came in the 220-yard dash. If he was tired by that time, he didn’t show it, running away with the race in 22.1 seconds. Joe Worobey took third for the Bulls in that race putting Buffalo ahead of Albany with only four events left. Earlier, Stephens had won the long jump, 100-yard dash and the triple jump, as usual. Nice weather and Sweet Home High School’s all-weather track enabled him to record his best distances of the and 45’1” outdoor season in the jumps. Both efforts, 23’ 1 respectively, qualified him for the post-season IC4A tournament. Stephens had been looking to qualify in the long jump, but couldn’t get very excited about meeting the triple jump standard. He plans on concentrating on the long jump and 100-yard dash in the IC4A meet. ” Stephens best again a 10-5 win. There were no more footfaults called duVing the rest of the game. The crucial point for the Bulls came in the third round. Trailing by just one point, Buffalo won five of its six matches in that round to take the lead for good. Coach Pat McClain explained it simply by saying, “We were just up for this.” Revenge is sweet, especially when the rewards are high. The tennis Bulls can now enjoy its sweetness, having avenged last fall’s 7-2 loss to Albany, while winning the SlJNY Center Tennis Championship on Saturday at Rotary Courts. Buffalo led the field with 13 points. Albany was second with 10, while Binghamton finished with 10. Stony Brook was unable to attend. The Bulls’ quest for revenge was aided by provocation from the Great Danes’Joe Kesterbaum. During the first doubles match, Kesterbaum began calling footfaults on the Bulls’ Randy Murphy. A footfault occurs when the server steps on or over the endline, thereby nullifying the serve. Footfaults are not usually called in intercollegiate competition simply out of courtesy. route to Run, run, run McClain also thought that the Bulls were in better shape than any of the other teams. He had his players doing a lot of running, sometimes as much as two miles. In the grueling eight-hour tournament, this tough conditioning made the difference, especially during the doubles matches which were played last. Buffalo won two of the three doubles matches against Albany, although Albany had swept the doubles in their previous encounter. The only undefeated Bull of the day was newcomer Pete Carr. He won both of his singles matches and both of his doubles contests, but noted, “they were all tough matches. I could have lost any one of them.” Faulty footfaults At this point, the now-angry Randy Mufphy asked for footfault judges on both sides of the court. “1 didn't want to let him (Kesterbaum) call footfaults for actual points.” said Murphy.

Herb Let tear, Roland Maples and Ron McGraw swept their event. McGraw also took third in the quarter mile. The Bulls’ only other win came from Walt Malady’s shot-put mark of 46’9”. Big Walt also took seconds in the javelin and hammer throws, but his failure to score in the discus, an event he should have owned, hurt the Bulls dearly. The winning mark was ten feet less than Walt’s throw of last week, but he fouled on two of his three attempts and had the third roll off his hand the wrong way.

Dr. Ketter has been a consistent critic of line-by-line cuts at individual campuses by budget makers in Albany. In the Governor’s analyzing Executive budget before the Faculty-Senate in February, Dr. resentment expressed Ketter towards Albany for making library cuts in internal acquisitions and nursing faculty making instead of one across-the-board reduction. If cuts have to be made, the not an outside University should be allowed to agency trim programs according to its own priorities, according to Dr. Ketter’s point of view. — — Cuts “Previously, we have told them they are not' capable of making this judgment,” he told the Senators, noting that last year’s budget necessitated cutting two School of Nursing faculty. “This year they came and cut eight more,” he said. Besides the cuts in Nursing, the Executive budget called for a reduction of 27 other positions, including five extension and public service jobs, 10 in student services, dormitory six six administrators, and unspecified positions. Although he conceded that final financial authority rests in Albany, Dr. Ketter said that the apparently injudicious cuts were “a matter which on principle, I will fight to the wire.” Dr. Ketter left the impression that he would make these before the State arguments Division of the Budget. And when he and Vice-president for Finance Management Doty and Ed reported they that had successfully demonstrated to an error of Albany how ommission was responsible for a underfunded library markedly acquisitions budget, it seemed for a time that similar progress would be made in restoring slashed faculty and personnel. * Library acquisitions But disclosure of the State University Supplemental budget request this week revealed that although $300,000 was earmarked for library acquisitions, and another $100,000 for Physical plant sales and expenses, no request was made for the jobs that had been cut by the Governor. The supplementary budget requests for at least 25 other campuses asks for the restoration of either executive or legislative cuts. Cornell-Gcneva The experimental Station and the Cornell Agriculture Program were each slated for a request of for the expressed “executive purpose of restoration.” Similarly the State $200,000 College at Oneonta is requesting 52,000 in executive restoration for its Continuing Education Program. Dr. Ketter indicated that he was surprised that restoration of Executive budget cuts were requested. He said that he had been specifically told by Hairy Spindler, Vice Chancellor for allocation for transportation to an Attica support rally in Albany Monday, (SA) Anthony Vice Lorenzetti, associate for Student President rejected the $1300 expenditure because it was “clearly a political activity and therefore outside the (State University) Board of Trustees guidelines concerning permissible expenditures of mandatory student fees.” He explained his decision in a letter to SA Affairs, President Michelle Smith. All SA requests for fee expenditures must be approved by the administration, according to the Trustees’ guidelines. Dr. Lorenzetti is President Ketter’s “designee” for that purpose. Dr. Lorenzetti explained that the Albany trip is “political” because an article in the April 18th edition of The Spectrum referred to the $1300 request as an allocation for buses to bring students to a demonstration, rather than an “educational experience” as it is termed on the request (REP) form. The mandatory fee guidelines do not specifically prohibit political expenditures. The Trustees’ criteria for fee allocations include only programs for cultural and educational “enrichment,” recreational and social activities, tutorial programs, athletic student programs, funding of recognized student clubs if the publications, of educational, cultural, recreational or social nature, insurance related to such organizations are Community Action Corps (CAC) and a member of the Student Assembly who supported the $1300 allotment, said Dr. Lorenzetti’s earlier approval of ten busses to the Attica trials in downtown Buffalo was inconsistent with his current stance. In an April 2 letter to Dr programs, transportation in support of the programs and finally “reimbursement to student officers for service to student government.” Although Dr. Lorenzetti claimed the Albany excursion does not fit the guidelines, he admitted that “there has to be some kind of judgement” made by his office when this type of REP is received. But he said it was not a “personal value judgement,” and that it was “very clear” that the $1300 REP did not fall within the guidelines. Anthony Lorenzetti Inconsistent Lorenzetti, of the UB Attica Support Group and several SA spokesmen indicated that the expenditure could be interpreted as acceptable as “cultural and Representatives educational enrichment.” David Chavis, Director of the successfully Mr. Chavis Justified the downtown trip as a “cultural and educational” benefit to students. “My primary justification concerns the direct informational education and cultural awareness —continued on page 4— Business and Finance for the State University, that he would not be permitted to include in the supplemental budget request cuts made by the Governor in the School of Nursing and Student Affairs personnel. “We asked specifically if we could do it and were told no,” Dr. Ketter said Tuesday, indicating he would discuss the situation with the Chancellor Ernest Boyer this week. Follow the rules Mr. Doty agreed that the “rule of the game” was that campuses their in request cannot things supplemental budgets originally cut by the Governor. He explained that those campuses which did request Executive have must been subject to some set of different restoration conditions, such as increased enrollment. The “objective is to get, not to ask.” he said. Asked if there was money available which could have been used to justify requests for faculty and personnel, Mr. Doty replied: "There isn’t money available, believe me. We don’t want any faculty lines if we don’t have the money to support them” “Support” for faculty lines may consist of the administrative or personnel or secretarial supplies. A spokesman for the Division of the Budget explained that a secretary, for example, would be useless without a be typewriter, which can a support considered for position already secretarial approved. Oneonta is requesting $52,000 in executive restoration for its Continuing Faculty and personnel were included in the version of the —continual on page 4— —O’Neill Richard Siggelkow and Anthony Lorenzetti, who blocked an SA allocation for An Albany rally and workshops in support of the Attica Brothers, address students gathered in Haas Lounge to protest the move. Travel funds disputed Students protest in Hayes About 100 students sat in the main lobby of Hayes Hall yesterday and later University debated two administrators over the rejection of funds approved by the Student Assembly last week that would have provided bus transportation to Albany Monday for rallies and workshops supporting the Attica defendants. The students marched from Norton to Hayes at about 1:30 p.m. and planted themselves along the building’s main aisle. As the crowd overflowed into adjoining protest in corridors, legal aid observers urged them to remain moving in order to avoid breaking federal laws which permit demonstrations in public places as long as they do not obstruct traffic. The students chanted slogans in support of the Attica defendants. At one point, half of “Attica the group shouted means,” prompting the other half to respond “fight back.” After about 30 minutes, Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Siggelkow, whose office is on the first floor of Hayes, informed the protestors through an intermediary that he would meet with them in a separate room. Undignified When asked why he wouldn’t come out and speak to the students crowding in the lobby, Dr. Siggelkow said it was not “dignified” to speak with them in that fashion. The merits students debated the of remaining in Hayes —continued on page 18— �Registration: new Protest! The long lines and confusion of Registration are all in the past. A new pre-registration program, which will run from April 24 to May 16, will notify students of their schedules around August 1. Pre-registration will also enable departments to alter their course offerings before registrations are finally processed by using a “Demand Analysis Report” that will indicate the popularity of Agent disclaims Attica info ways, better ways courses. Pre-registered students will receive packets containing their Fall schedules, and indicating any problems, such as Bursar Check stop, that would delay registration. Students who do not pre-register will have to wait until September 2. Those who decide to change a course after receiving their schedule will be able to do so “On Line,” through a new computer terminal system that will show immediately if the requested course is available. The “On Line” system will begin around August 18 and continue throughout the semester for drop/add changes. The Office of Student Accounts is advising students to clear their accounts by July 20. Students in the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), should send their applications in before the first day of classes. This is especially important for graduate students. The Jewish Defense League, the Jewish Student Union, and the Black Student Union, are sponsoring a demonstration to protest the activities of the Community of the National Guard Party, The White Youth Alliance and The National Socialist White People’s Party Headquarters. The demonstration will be held at the WGR TV office, 259 Delaware Ave., where members of the above organizations will be taping a program. determine whether Ms. Cook’s FBI activities affected the case of former Attica inmate Bernard Stroble, who is charged with killing two other inmates during the 1971 prison revolt. Ms. Cook testified that she had infiltrated the Attica defense and received information relating to Mr. Stroble’s defense. She described this information in a private ten-minute session in Justice Mattina’s chambers, but it was not mentioned in the FBI agent Gary Lash denied under oath Tuesday that he had received any information about the strategy of the Attica Legal Defense team from Mary Jo Cook, a former FBI informant who testified a day earlier that she had delivered such information to him. He did confirm, however, that Ms. Cook had infiltrated the Buffalo chapter of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War/Winter Soldiers Organization (WAW/WSO) while working for the FBI from June 1973 to October 1974. The 34 year old federal agent admitted to Justice Joseph Mattina that Ms. Cook “spoke about some activities centering around the Attica uprising” while reporting to him, but denied that he had ever requested her to spy on the Attica defense. Mr. Lash contended that the only information about Attica he had received “concerned planned demonstrations that could ultimately lead to public disturbances.” He testified only ten minutes, before Justice Mattina adjourned court for the day to study a large briefcase full of reports which Ms. Cook said she turned over to Mr. Lash while she was an FBI employees. Tuesday was the second day of hearings to courtroom. In order to prove that Mr. Stroble’s case has been prejudiced, the defense must show that Ms. Cook gave information about him to the FBI and that the agency in turn passed that information along to the State prosecution. At Tuesday’s hearing, Mr. Lash admitted that some of Ms. Cook’s information “could have been turned over to state authorities, specifically to Jack Steinmetz, an official of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation of the State Police. The special Attica prosecutor handling Mr. Stroble’s case, Francis Cryan, replied that Mr. Steinmetz had never worked with the prosecution or supplied it with information. Mr. Cryan has filed an affidavit with the court stating that he never received “information from anybody” concerning the Attica defense activities.

The suit, which was filed last week in Federal District Court of northern New York against New York State, claims that two sections of the New York Code of Rules and Regulations (66.1 A6 and 67.IA3) violate consumers’ rights by restricting price competition. Dennis Kaufman, an attorney for Central NYPIRG in Albany, told the State Assembly Higher Education Committee on April 15 that studies conducted in several cities showed inconsistencies in prices charged by optometrists. “Prices in New York vary 25 to 100 percent over those in other states because of the regulation,” Mr. Kaufman asserted. A study of Manhattan optometrists showed that the state regulation not only infringes on consumers’ rights by preventing price comparisons, but specifically makes it difficult for buyers, especially elderly persons, to seek out reasonable prices, Mr. Kaufman said. Also, a nationwide study conducted by Lee Beriham, an economist at the University of Chicago, which compared prices among states that allow advertising of optical devices with states that do not, showed that advertising restrictions increased prices by at least 25 percent. 'Dr. Benham’s study also concluded that there is no evidence to support the argument that product quality is adversely effected by advertising, Mr. Kaufman told the committee. “Only a few price advertisements may be required to inform a sufficient number of consumers (and produce enough competition] so that the average purchase price is reduced substantially,” Dr. Benham said. The State Education Department oversees some 28 health professions, including veterinarians and lab technicians, as well as the optical fields. Mr. Kaufman feels this is a conflict of interest because the Department at the same time regulates the state’s health education schools. NYPIRG’s suit also cites the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 and the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in support of its case. While the state should be allowed to regulate speech and the flow of information when there is false or misleading advertising, proper advertising may not be constitutionally prohibited, Mr. Kaufman explained to the committee. NYPIRG does not yet know when the court hearing will be held Page two The Spectrum Friday, 25 April 1975 . . ITO �Athletic proposal SARB against Ketter’s plan by Paige Miller Staff Writer sentence in the letter which she felt supported Mr. Delia’s contention; “It is to be recognized that intramural sports and recreation can be highly compatible with objective number five above, whereas intercollegiate athletics cannot.” (Objective five called for the restructuring of athletics to strengthen the academic programs within the School of Health Education.) SARB also disagreed with Dr. Ketter’s claim that intercollegiate athletics cannot strengthen the School of Health Education. “Intercollegiate athletics are the lab for Physical Education majors just as chem lab is the lab for chemistry majors,” Mr. Delia said. The experience of running intramural programs would probably not be helpful in obtaining a job after graduation, whereas participation on a varsity team would, several SARB members noted. Dr. Ketter’s proposal to create “a strong, academically-based intramural sports and recreation program,” was unacceptable to SARB; first, for not being specific, and second, because it would restructure the intramurals program. Intramurals are now a source of recreation and fun. SARB also interpreted the phrase “making intramurals academically based” to mean giving course credit for participation. This would alter their format and purpose, many believe. Spectrum The Student Athletic Review Board (SARB) voiced its opposition Tuesday to President Robert Ketter’s letter on the future of athletics, claiming that the proposal was deliberately vague to justify the eventual dropping of intercollegiate athletics. Dr. Ketter’s letter proposed a complete separation of intercollegiate athletics and intramurals and recreation, with the state paying for the latter and the Student Association (SA) footing the bill for intercollegiate athletics, including coaches’ salaries. Coaches are currently paid by the state as teachers. SA referendum on the new constitution A resolution calling for a referendum on the new Student Association (SA) constitution was narrowly approved by the Student Assembly in the Haas Lounge Wednesday. The exact date for the referendum was not set however, and an actual vote on the recently adopted constitution may not take place until the fall. Assembly member Robert Cohen, who is spearheading the move for constitutional reform, said a referendum would allow students to chose the constitution they prefer. Several assembly members that an argued immediate referendum would conflict with students studying for finals. Others maintained that students knew very little about either constitution and would not be qualified to vote on the matter.

SARB members also noted that Dr. Ketter’s proposal for a state-mandated student fee to fund athletics contradicted his later suggestion that SA fund intercollegiate athletics. Dr. Ketter’s “short range actions” drew a barrage of criticism. A stipulation that the Administration should assume the operating costs for intramurals and recreation was called “insincere,” by Mr. Delia, who pointed out that the Administration refused fo even pay for a telephone in the Ketterpillar (Bubble). Dr. Ketter said, however, that if there was sufficient support for his proposal for state funding of intramurals, he would request that the SUNY Trustees take the necessary funds out of the general University budget. The Ketter Plan also calls for SA to appoint an interim athletic director responsible to both SA and the Vice President for Student Affairs. SARB charged, however, that one person cannot be responsible to both and added that “competent” administrators are not easy to come by on an interim Dennis Delia Dr. Ketter explained last week' that his letter was designed to stimulate reaction and prompt discussion of the athletic issues.

Mr. Tien Nguyen, the club’s Vice President, estimated that between 200 and 300 signatures have already been gathered. He hopes to secure at least 10,000 from across the state. The Vietnamese Club is a non-political group of approximately 50 people, including visiting Vietnamese students, a number of concerned Buffalo residents married to Vietnamese people, and people with friends or business associates in South Vietnam. The organization also accepts monetary contributions and they are urging people, especially members of the University community, to write letters and send telegrams to their representatives in support of the humanitarian aid bills. • ' National effort The drive to aid the South Vietnamese people includes 300 colleges and universities nationwide. Many Senators and Congressmen have already announced their support of the aid, including Buffalo congressman Jack Kemp. Ed Rutkowski, an aide to Rep. Kemp, said that the Congressman fully supports the Vietnamese Club’s efforts and will back the humanitarian aid bills on the floor of the House. Collections will be taken up in several local churches this weekend to aid the war victims in South Vietnam. The money will be channeled through the International Red Cross, and used to assist refugees in the hardest hit areas of South Vietnam. Refugees The Vietnamese Club is also compiling lists of family members and friends of Vietnamese Americans which they will send to the U.S. Embassy iiv Saigon. They hope to have these people brought to the embassy so that they can be evacuated safely. Mr. Nguyen mentioned Brazil, Canada and the U.S. as potential relocation spots for these refugees wh fear Communist reprisals against them.

Marvin Resnikoff, a specialist in high-energy theoretical physics and a Rachel Carson College lecturer, has been invited to testify before a Congressional sub-committee examing the problems of nuclear power reactors. The Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs’ subcommittee on Energy and the Environment will hear Dr. Resnikoff speak on the safety of nuclear fuel reprocessing, a process carried on at the West Valley, N.Y. plant, thrity miles southest of here. Sub-Committee Chairman Morris K. Udall (D.-Ariz.) asked Dr. Resnikoff to testify May 2, on behalf of the Sierra Club, a California based conservation group. In all, 19 witnesses, representing industry, citizens groups and the Nuclear Regulatory Committee (NRC) will be called. Ralph Nader and William Anders, Director of the NRC, are but two of the prominent experts who will testify. Dr. Resnikoff has been critical of the nuclear fuel reprocessing plant in West Valley and charges that some of the radioactive wastes meant for storage, escape into the environment. Attica buses.. of those students who attend the meeting” at the courthouse, the letter stated. CAC, which organized the downtown trip, intended to give a brief history of the Attica ordeal, the letter explained. Mr. Chavis said the April 2 event was educational because students could “experience regulations governing behavior in and around the courtroom. Through the presentation of speakers (Attica defendants Charles Pernasalice and Dacajeweiah (John Hill)| students can gain the cultural experience of an individual in the prison system." Assembly’s voice Dr. Lorenzetli defended his decision to approve funding for that program, explaining that it was ‘‘under different circumstances,” and concerned “Buffalo students in their community.” “There were some educational experiences planned and conducted,” he said, but he conceded that his approval of the April 2 REP might have been “stretching the point. It was a tenuous case.” SA Treasurer Carol Block said Wednesday that she did not expect the current REP, which she co-signed, to be rejected. She explained that SA still wants the money to be released because the request represented “the voice of the Assembly.” He has also objected to the plant’s radiation level which is greater .than at any other industry in the country. Also, there is enough plutonium at the plant ot make a bomb 500 times as powerful as the one dropped on Hiroshima, according to Dr. Resnikoff. To complicate the issue, the cost of recycling these radioactive elements is higher than the original cost of the elements, making any re-use of the material an expensive venture. Storage r. Resnikoff will offer at least one alternative to fuel reprocessing storing plutonium and other waste materials until the cost of reporcessing them is lower than mined uranium. The West Valley plant is of more than local interest, according to Dr. Resnikoff, because it is the only commercial reprocessing plant operating in this country. Unless the dangers of the plant are revealed to the committee, he added, similar plants will be in operation by 1980. - —continued from page 1 After receiving word that Dr. Lorenzetti had refused to sign the $ 1300 requisition, Mr. Chavis sent him another letter Wednesday referring to the April 2 downtown bus trip. “At such time you found the justification for an almost identical event way within the Board of Trustees guidelines,” the letter reprimanded. Hr again cited the cultural and educational value, and the Trustees’ allowance for transportation and other student services in support of such activities Irrelevant now Mr. Chavis said that by “these definitions alone,” Dr. Lorenzetti should have approved the SA request. He also said that Dr. Lorenzetti’s concern with use of the terms “rally” and “demonstration” was “irrelevant and such judgement is arbitrary and capricious concerning the actual content of the program.” There will be speakers and workshops for people attending the April 28 event in Albany, similar to those which took place on April 2 in Buffalo, Mr. Chavis emphasized. Dr. Lorenzetti, however, said this was — the situation, he asserted. As The Spectrum went to press, the Attica Support Group was planning a one p.m. rally at the Norton Hall, fountain yesterday, followed by a march to Hayes Hall with a demand that six representatives meet with President Ketter.

Among the safeguards being considered are legally-binding codes of ethics for computer operators, and provisions for allowing patients to examine and correct information about them that is being stored in data banks. An estimated 4000 “Ethical Health Data Centers” are now operating in the United States. Although they have given physicians unprecedented access to a patient’s complete medical history, which doctors view as an essential tool for providing premium medical care, more and more people have become reluctant to have personal information computerized. privacy patients move around a great deal or are being treated for a variety of ailments by several physicians,” Dr. Gabrielli said. Data centers help doctors retrieve family records which give the background on certain hereditary conditions and are helpful in diagnosis, he explained. Federal guidelines Because patients who underwent abortions, treatment for venereal disease and other •medical conditions frowned upon by society would be afraid the information would fall into the hands of future employers, credit bureaus and other groups, Dr. Gabrielli has been working with several local groups and Congressman Jack Kemp (R., Hamburg) to create federal guidelines to' protect patients’ privacy rights.

Mr. Kemp decided to redraft the privacy bill in January, after circulating the legislation to 200 persons across the country "‘who were on every side of the issue." and receiving suggestions for revisions from about 80, according to Randall Teague, a legislative assistant to Mr. Kemp. person continued on page 6 Free Performance Clinic Mfljb 00 00 cS o K cnxi crm & H 00 o o o o iW I■ W^' Avco Embassy Release SHOW Monetary penalties NOW SHOWING 7 cannot think of a more beautiful and SPECIAL PRICEtruly romantic movie to inaugurate spring" -Pat Collins, WCBS-TV SI. 50 Midnight Show Sat.

Dr. Boyer said a uniform federal law would “specify the penalties for violating the confidentiality of medical information, provide guidelines for training employees and set up a regulatory system which would include periodic inspections” to guarantee that records are up to date. Existing safeguards are “scattered around in an incredible patchwork of vague ‘rights of privacy’ statutes,” Dr. Boyer claimed. Although nurses and other medical aides must be accredited for character and competence, computer operators with access to damaging information obey only the “self-imposed” dictates of confidentiality, he said. !■ TIMES; 7:45 and 10:00 p.m. -Sat.

Mr. Teague said he expected many agencies to oppose the establishment of either type of centralized board, because they were not mandated by the Ervin bill and federal agencies “were led to believe they’d have time” to establish their own safeguards. Another problem with the original bill, according to Mr. Teague, was its failure to make a distinction between the way “patient” and “applicant” records would be handled. Federal board In a doctor-patient But Mr. Kemp now believes it would not be practical to establish relationship, he explained, the a separate body to oversee physician has “no reason or cause medical records because every to release information.” But if group would then want to someone applies for a medical establish a separate board, Mr. insurance reimbursement, or “a Teague reported.

Considerable amounts of financial, military, criminal or information demanded of income-related. Mr. Teague explained that the original provisions for establishing a privacy board to deal only with medical records were a direct response to the absence of “structures” that could enforce privacy safeguards. The Privacy Act of 1974, sponsored by former Senator Sam Ervin (D., North Carolina), “left the question of privacy up to each agency,” he explained. applicants by life insurance companies are sent to a joint computer exchange used by other firms, often without the applicant’s knowledge, Mr. Teague said the revised Kemp bill will probably contain provisions making it illegal for an insurance company to feed information into a central bureau without a person’s permission. “We want to devise a requirement that will safeguard a patient from being denied insurance by one company because he refused to let his information be seen by other, unrelated companies,” he asserted. A further drawback of the original Medical Records Privacy Act was its failure to provide adequate monetary incentives that would encourage states to establish privacy programs, Mr. Teague said. He indicated that the revised version will either increase the incentives or provide for direct agency. If an individual asks to see his funding of privacy programs, agencies will be required records, measures that would prompt to inform him of the existence states to initiate safeguards. and nature of these records, permit him to examine and copy Provisions all medical information, except If the Kemp bill is passed by that which the Privacy Board President by Congress and signed would have an adverse believes Ford, federal agencies will him, and ensure that this effect on thereafter be required to: written in "terms data is personal those Maintain only medical records necessary for comprehensible to a layman.” The legislation would also carrying out the legitimate agencies to 1) permit an force functions of the agency. individual to insert a statement of medical Disseminate correction or explanation of any these records from information only when the recipient has a medical information contained in legitimate need for them and only the record which he believes is not when safeguards established by a accurate, relevant, timely or privacy board have been taken to complete, and 2) inform him of which persons or non-medical protect his privacy. have or have had access agencies to Establish procedures insure that access to personal to his records and why.

A typical response to these lectures is, “1 didn’t realize how committees. Peer crisis counseling is a means of dealing with individual frustration. One-to-one Society, explaining their sexual orientation. Mr. Bodekor feels it is not gay people who are “sick,” but rather, society in general, for holding such narrow views about homosexuality. Two of the most active branches of the Society are the Senior citizen tutors: Pi ‘being a part of things’ The Community Action Corps (CAC) is now organizing a tutoring program where senior citizens will help children with learning disabilities. The program involves five women from the Rosa Copland Nursing Home and children from the St. Augustine Community Center. The women are all white, mostly Jewish, and all between 80 and 90. The children are all black and between eight and publication sessions encounter and self-development “rap” groups are strongly encouraged. The publication committee is a for responsible publishing monthly newspaper, distributing and pamphlets information maintaining a library at the Center. The Society frequently deals with the problem of latent homosexuality. Due to a conscious or subconscious fear of being gay, the latent homosexual is “negatively aggressive” to other gays, Mr. Bodekor explained. This situation arises most often at the high school age level because young men have not yet come to grips with themselves, he added. Recollection Bodekor recalled an in the Grand Island school district where a student Mr. incident who had no one in his peer group or family' with whom he could discuss his sexual frustrations, drove his parents’ car to the district courthouse and “blew his brains out.” The suicide note he left behind stated that he was convinced he was a homosexual. Gay people in Buffalo face more harassment by lawmakers and than do police their counterparts in Rochester or New York City. Mr. Bodekor pointed out one Buffalo city ordinance forbids the sale of alcohol to a homosexual congregation. Gay bars, such as the Hibatchi Room, freqently have been raided by police solely because they serve homosexuals, Mr. liquor to Bodekor maintained. In fact, the Mattachine Society was originally formed in response to gar bar harassment by police five years ago. The Faculty-Senate Committee on “Permission of Instructor” is now engaged in discussions which will lead to the proposal of guidelines to be followed by faculty members who wish to exercise control over their enrollments through “Permission of the Instructor” power. Any student wishing to make suggestions should send them to John Dings, Department of English, Annex B. and nine years old. There are two four-week training sessions for the women tutors and an on-going weekly supervision session after they begin tutoring. The training sessions cover teaching of technical skills, sensitivity work and role-playing exercises. The sensitivity work involves discussing their feelings about the program and how other people at the nursing home react to the idea of tutoring. The CAC volunteers inform the tutors about the individual children they will be working with, providing their backgrounds and the problems. There is also an orientation session for the children, where the volunteers discuss the tutors and the differences in their ages and backgrounds. CAC hds been working on the project since April 1974, but according to director David Chavis, “There has been a big problem getting senior citizens involved in the program.” CAC put ads in the local newspapers and contacted many community agencies and nursing homes, but the response was not encouraging. Many people wondered howlCAC could expect senior citizens to do something like tutoring. However, the director of recreation at Rosa Copland became interested in the idea and convinced five women from the home to work in the project. “They’re phenomenal,” Mr. Chavis said. “It helps them believe in themselves.” CAC plans to start with this small group of five, refine the program and then put together bigger groups for next year. CAC is also considering working with senior citizens in daycare centers. At last Friday’s training session, one woman said that others don’t try tutoring because “they’re afraid; they don’t have any confidence in themselves,” but explained that she tutors because “I want to be a part of things. I don’t want to be an outsider.” THE UUAB MUSIC COMMITTEE proudly presents "THE SHOW OF THE YEAR" Taj Mahal AND SPECIAL GUEST STAR FREDDIE KING MAY 3 Clark Gym • 8:30 pm TICKETS $2.50 students$3.50 non-students and n.o.p.

Will administrators at this University ever understand that education can take place outside a classroom's four walls?

Three weeks ago, not one question was raised when the Student Assembly voted to set aside $555 to send busloadsof students to the Erie County Courthouse so they could attend a courtroom vigil and hear the two Attica defendants and their lawyers speak.

The performances will be at 8 p.m. and will feature excerpts from operas by Cilea, Mozart, Verdi and Strauss. Admission free. 'Claudine' With Claudine, the problem Is a lack of "commitment." Sure it's committed to being folksy, to seeming optimistic, to drawing an audience (of course), and to stating "The Truth" as its director John Berry puts it (in an interview with the Buffalo Evening News). "Most people live alienated lives in our present social structure. Our society faces incredible changes. Fifty percent of marriages end in divorce. No marriage is made without the possibility of divorce. The old bromide of 'love forever' is gone under the garbage heap." What is this Berry anyway; a filmmaker or a pop psychology teacher? While he tried to be committed to all of the above, his "Heart and Soul Comedy" film lacks any commitment to film or comedy. It's as if Berry had this great "message" to tell, added some jokes to it because, as any child knows, "a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down," and then made a film out of it because people go to movies. No real — How about that Carlos Santana: he's now almost one part John.McLaughlin and one part Jackson Browne. Intense! In the middle of the song, the group broke out and really started cooking this "new" Santana — — concern for comedy; none for cinema. And his "message" about marriage and divorce is standard talk-show patter aimed at middle-brow consciousness. Lines like "love is when a man brings the groceries instead of eating yours" leave no doubt about the shallowness of that "message."

I had heard a Sparks' album and thought that they might be interesting to see live. I had also heard the latest album by last Kraftwerk (you know, Fahr'n Fahr'n Fahr'n Auf Der Autobahn) and thought, having an open mind, that I might be able to tolerate an opening set by them. However, as the pre-concert hype grew, I realized that Kraftwerk, not Sparks, was to headline the show. This puzzled me, until I read that the Autobahn album is in the top ten nationally, which infuriated me. For those of you who haven't bought the album yet, it is ultra-futuristic and electronic ad nauseam, and about as interesting as a Hare Krishna chant. Suppressing this poor outlook, I decided to maintain some semblance of objectivity and be as fair as possible when reviewing the concert. I really began to wonder when I met someone in the audience who had driven from Rochester them a second time. to see Ernie returns Greenslade, an English band, opened the concert with an interesting (though hardly unique) brand of classically oriented rock. With two fully-equipeed keyboard players and (leapin' lizards!) no guitar player, they impressed me as sounding like Rick Wakeman would, had he any brains. They were a bit too loud. The real treat of the evening (for me anyway) was Sparks, the English glitter band which is neither a glitter band, nor from England. If all rock groups tend to sound the same to you, you to should give them a listen quote Rolling Stone: They sound as if "Stravinsky and Gilbert and — Sullivan were reincarnated as a rock and roll power trio." Originally from LA, they have gained a large audience as a singles band in England and, despite these two factors, their musii displays both drive anc imagination. A couple of swells Founding members Ron and Russel Mael are truly a musical comedy team, but their antics must be seen to be appreciated. Russel, although possessing a very unorthodox voice, is an excellent singer, and his behavior on stage is a brilliant parody of the British sort of like Ray Davies, pop star Mick Jagger and Shirley Temple rolled into one. His brother Ron (who with his shirt and tie, slicked back hair and Chaplin mustache, looks like an RAF colonel) merely — sits at the piano, scowling at the audience or eyeing Russel with disgust. Stage show aside, the music itself is fascinating and well written none of the typical three-chord stuff and although 1 am not familiar with their albums, I enjoyed almost everything they did. — — Future schlock As for Kraftwerk, I feel unqualified to criticize them, as I left after about a half-hour's worth of zombie music. These guys are actually serious musicians not a rock group by any means playing what they consider to be serious music on various electronic keyboards, flutes, vibes and even electronic drums. At the risk of sounding uncultured, I will say that I was quite bored by even a half hour of them, as were the many other people I saw leaving. I had still intended to find out why they were selling so many records, but it was my friend from Rochester who finally convinced me to leave after the first few songs. "If you don't like it so far you might as well," he informed me. "It all sounds the same." —John Duncan A greatperformance for a city where you 're at the top — — _aj| in concert, and hence my surprise with Supertramp. Richard Davies, one of the group's lead vocalists, is responsible for most of the keyboard work, playing electric and acoustic pianos and organ, as well as a little harp. Roger Hodgson, vocalist and co-founder (with Davies), played lead, electric and acoustic 12-string guitars, pianos and organ. In addition to playing tenor, alto and soprano saxes and clarinet (all of them pretty well), John Helliwell added pseudo-orchestral lines on a string synthesizer and filled in on organ for one song. These three, teamed with a more than adequate rhythm section, made for a very powerful sound. The vocal work of Hodgson and Davies was excellent, blending with Helliwell in meticulous harmonies vaguely reminiscent of the Beatles. Davies, the singer, on "Bloody Well Right," their single, makes good use of his bluesy though limited voice, while Hodgson ("Dreamer") has a higher pitched, more expressive sound not nearly as obnoxious as it sounds over a car radio. The two complement each other quite well. As you can see, the members of the band were quite busy throughout and the result, combined with very good amplification, and Kleinhans' acoustics, sounded nearly perfect. .The lighting effects and staging were very professional but not overdone (although there was quite a finale) and, despite the lack of an encore, the house was nearly brought down. One thing still bothers me, though after hearing only two new songs and a performance so faithful to the original, I could just as well have listened to the album again. —John Duncan — The opening act was a singer-songwriter named Chris DeBurgh, who did a solo acoustic set and seemed rather nervous. A few trite original songs, and an even more trite version of "Here Comes the Sun" made enough of an impression on me to make me forget his name shortly after he left the stage. To avoid offending those of you who loved him, I'll give him a rating of "far out" on the James Taylor scale of blandness. — — After a fairly short intermission, the lights dimmed and Supertramp walked on, silencing the emphatic applause with the opening harp notes of "School" from Crime of the Century. To those of you familiar with the LP, it should suffice to say that the concert included most of it and sounded twice as good. A fairly creative "concept" album. Crime has some nice musicianship, a few excellent songs, and enough variety of style to interest even those who despise rock. And it's nice to see a band that really works hard at sounding good, something that many musicians are too lazy to do. — SA announces *■* Jt Supertramp's extremely polished live sound results from the fact that three of their members are multi-instrumentalists, playing something like 11 instruments between them. Certain other bands that are capable of doing this in the studio don't bother Crime of the Century indeed. The British group Supertramp (where do they get these names?) has pulled off a big one actually managing to push a halway decent album up the charts and onto the AM the main reason for their playlists. And get this success is the fact that their record sold big in stirring up enough interest from their Buffalo record company to promote them heavily. And while I don't like to rave about a group that gets so much airplay (I'm as sick of their single as you are), they're really pretty good.

Wright left Chicago in 1904 to build a house for the Darwin Martin family in Buffalo. It was called a "freak" by the neighbors on Jewitt Parkway, whose homes were built a decade later, but looked as if they were built 100 years earlier. At the beginning of the century, Wright was The gardener's quarters on the original Martin estate.

He saw a remnant of an era and past. In New York City, especially, he criticized the eclectics which steel camouflaged the "truth" of architecture with stone. He called Radio and engineering City Music Hall "the last tower in Babylon." the modern city as civilization that had — — The last laugh “Radio City will be like the laugh of the man in the gallery who saw the point of the story as the audience was walking out." In his book. The Disappearing City he predicted a day when land would be reckoned once again by acre, and not by foot. "We have started toward a new integration to an integration along the horizontal line, which we call the great highway," he wrote. He conceived of the prairie house, surrounded by plenty of space, grass and acreage, which is imitated today in the ranch style suburban houses. The Martin home embodies Wright's wildest dreams of a prairie house, since he had absolutely — no budgetary restrictions. The materials used were the best and the labor consisted of the most skilled and intelligent mechanics. A similar house build by Wright in 1903 for a co-worker of Martin's, W.R. Heath, shows how a budget can limit an artist's ideas. Although the Heath house isn't quite as bad as an' imitation Earth-Shoe, its function is somewhat limited by its compromised materials. Emphasizing the plane To emphasize the horizontal planes in the Jewitt, Parkway house, and to assure the solidness of the structure, Wright used Roman brick, an expensive, imported allow that contained iron and had a gold tone that, together with the quality of the brick, has withstood the past three quarters of the century. The building of Wright's houses was difficult because he was a perfectionist. Any construction error had to be torn apart and rebuilt. Since the workers were puzzled by the new architectural problems his plans proposed, there were many The sunburst fireplace. At one time, gold leaf between the bricks reflected the indirect sunlight from an opposite window. Wright hated staircases, and chose to hide them.

Although Wright has been criticized for poorly engineering his homes, he did something right with the Martin house. When Darwin Martin passed away in 1927, his family tried to sell the home. But no one wanted to pay the price it had cost to build this house, which was over one million dollars. The house was left vacant for twenty years, during which time the house took a For UB, 1967 The house now belongs to the University, where the Alumni Association and the archives share office space.

Sometimes they had to go as far as Japan to recover the original furniture. When Dr. Myerson left his office, the house was converted to its present function. Dr. and Mrs. Robert Ketter did not care to live in the house, mostly because of Dr. Ketter's height. Wright himself had been a very short man some even considered him a midget. His homes were custom planned for the family who would live in it, but he never neglected his own needs and desires. Since the Martin family was also short, many ceiling beams are very low, and the furniture is tiny and delicate, making the house only comfortable for Sun burst In the room which the Mversons used as a dining room, but was originally a waiting room for Martin's business clients, is a sunburst fireplace, representing the only curves in the house. Before the house was abandoned, there was gold leaf between the bricks that round out the fireplace so that when the sun, came in, the fireplace glowed like a setting sun. Many of the visitors in the Jewitt Parkway house today remark about Wright's uncomfortable furniture. In 1904, when most home lounging furniture was huge, upholstered, and padded with feather fluff, hardly a person found comfort in Wright's chairs. Wright was more concerned with a furniture that would fit the lines of his house, although he wasn't entirely opposed to comfort. There are two barrel chairs in the Martin house, the first Wright ever built in this design, which are considered'the most comfortable of his furniture. They soon became his favorite design and he continued them in his later homes, altering cost. — small people. luarters on the original Martin jinal stained glass windows still tylized wisteria t for this house. window was Eaty-off Wright was brought to Buffalo from Chicago by Darwin Martin when he was visiting his brother, W.H. Martin in Chicago and saw the house Wright had designed for him there. Darwin Martin's principle business was the Larkin Soap Company, a mail order and wholesale concern dealing in soap and grocery staples. (One part of the business eventually branched off into the Easy Off oven cleaning company.) Many of Martin's co-workers were attracted to Wright's building style, and soon commissioned him to design their homes. He built a total of six structures in the city of Buffalo, including an office building and factory for the Larkin Company. This office building, completed in 1904 and torn down in 1950 despite concerned attempts at saving it, was the first entirely air conditioned modern office building. And it was for the Larkin office that Wright designed the first metal office furniture. Some of this furniture was salvaged and recently exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. One of the chairs, which looks like a robot that once appeared on Star Trek, is now contained at the Martin home. was a fireplace before surrounded by a wisteria mosaic. Wright A good idea Most of the private homes he designed still remain here today the house on Summitt Avenue, the gardener's quarters of the original Martin estate, the Heath House on Soldiers Place, and the Walter Davidson house on Tillinghast Place. These all lack the magnificence of the emphasized planes and the damages, shapes them slightly so they could be turned upside down and sat up either way. Wright believes the roots of his creation were in the blocks he was given to play with at the Frederick Froebel Kindergarten he went to in 1876. With these, children learned that they should not "draw from casual appearances of Nature until they had first mastered the basic forms lying hidden behind appearances." In kindergarten, "design was recreation." The cube, sphere and tetrahedron maple blocks became basic units of his later designs. His Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Japan, demolished in 1968, is the most obvious of the developed collage of these units. Some remnants of it' are on exhibit in the basement of thy Martin house. In the 600 buildings and houses he designed, Wright is tributed for developing floor heating, central air conditioning, car ports, corner windows and indirect lighting.

During his many trips abroad, Wright would bring back Japanese fabrics, prints and vases for his clients. The fabrics were to be hung on the instead of paintings. Wright disliked paintings, and the design of his walls, framed tightly with columns and beams, would not accommodate paintings. Wright left very little for individual personalities to decorate a house, forcing himself and his style on the inhabitants. He was especially fond of Japanese prints, and they somehow seemed most suitable on the walls. One of these tapestries is now hanging in the front foyer in the Martin house.

Casey to Spectrum Arts Staff attendant's Why is old age such a depressing state? Why is science so intent on prolonging old age if it's such a terrible ordeal? Why is so much money spent so that an old person will die in a hospital bed rather than his own? Why do we help those who want to live but punish those who want to die? How can a culture oriented by and toward youth know about the needs and wants of old people? Do we know what those needs and wants are? Lichter, Morton playwright-in-residence for the Center For Theatre Research, has used the subject of sex to show how little we know about old age. From conversations with "senior citizens," he has created Old Timer's Sexual Symphony (and other notes), a play that makes us face the reality that the.word 'sex' reply: "Mrs. Smith, you have a filthy mouth." She is spanked, tied to her wheelchair, and left alone. Old Timer's Sexual Symphony land other notes) is an uncomfortable play. It's supposed to be. It's still in the beginning stages, and there are minor parts where the action is confused or confusing, but that doesn't prevent the idea from coming through strongly. Mr. Lichter is taking his play to New York shortly. Perhaps when it *is will return to Buffalo. I hope so. It's a play that everyone should see before they get old. completed, it We have all heard the joke "Grandfather still chases women, he just doesn't know what to do once he catches them." But we never hear about Grandma. Somehow, the sight of an old man fondling a young girl's body has little effect compared to an old woman saying exactly what she wants. Purpose; to disturb Old Timer’s Sexual Symphony is a play that is supposed to make you uncomfortable. We feel uncomfortable when the young man (Evan Parry) answers the old man's pleas with "What about me? I've got a life too, you know." We understand them both, but we relate to only one of them. when We feel uncomfortable the male nurse (Michael Pelonero) ties the old woman to her wheelchair. We know such things happen, and we know that Our Weekly Reader Robinson Risner, The Passing of the Night: Seven Years as a Prisoner of the North Vietnamese (Ballantine Books, paper) There have been many books written about the American prisoners of war in North Vietnam, but I believe that none of them has the impact of Colonel Robinson Risner's The Passing of the Night: My Seven Years as a Prisoner of the North Vietnamese. Colonel Risner was shot down over North Vietnam on September 16, 1965 while on a routine bombing mission. However, being shot down was nothing new for Colonel Risner. Colonel Risner, a professional military man, was a flying ace in the Korean War. He was one of the 22 U.S. pilots who shot down more than five Korean planes. On one of his bombing missions in Korea he was shot down and, for some reason unknown to him, his rescue was covered by Time Magazine, with his picture appearing on the front cover. After his return to America, he gave public lectures, discussing the reasons for this country's involvement in Indochina. These two things were going to cause him serious problems later during his captivity in North Vietnam. Colonel The characters in a man and a woman (played by Howland and Leona Chamberlin) who take us through their memories first, a fantasy next, and finally a brutal reality. They recount their lives for us in fragments. He talks about his getting married, his job, his sexual conquest with one secretary, his failure with another, main Symphony are all sexual milestones in his life. Second childishness oblivion and mere Likewise, she speaks of dating, marriage, her affair with the milkman, and the baby she wanted so badly. "I didn't have a life," he concludes. She answers, "Everything we have is falling apart." The only thing they share now turns out to be regret. It's years later, and he is at the point where he giggles uncontrollably as he talks of his fear of being left alone. His attention switches from the young man he is with to his sexual fantasy-girl that has suddenly appeared. He speaks to both, but finds neither can give him exactly what he wants. He wants security. He doesn't want to be left alone. She now depends on a male nurse to keep her alive. Her husband is dead, and she spends all day in bed, except for the walks she is forced to take by her nurse. She screams at him to leave her alone, to let her die, but he won't; he has his orders. She tries to explain that she doesn't want him there, she doesn't want to take a walk, she doesn't want to The acting is very good, and conveys the message well. Howland and Leona Chamberlin are excellent in their difficult roles, much more effective than younger actors would have been. They add a sense of reality usually lost in the make up. The rest of the cast works well with Howland and Chamberlin, standing back and letting each other work, rather than competing for the audience's attention. Particularly effective is Michael Pelonero, whose calm but impatient attendant is both hateful and real at the same time. He is perfect as the nurse with the voice grade-school-teacher's ("Mrs. Smith, how can I help you if you won't cooperate?"). The music, written and performed by Jeff Brooks, fits well with the mood of the play. The nature of Love Della Love, the woman who begins and ends the play, deserves special mention. She was originally commissioned by Mr. Lichter to dust, but fortunately she wound up on stage, and she's great. She simply walks around the stage giving her imaginary friend all the latest news about what's going on in the neighborhood. In one beautiful segment, she captures the basic idea of the play. In an exchange between a grandmother and her grandson, he asks, "Grandma, at what age does a person 'lose their nature'?" to which she replies, "Don't ask me! I ain't found out yet." Della wrote her own part for this play.

Much of the torture which the POW's suffered consisted of intense psychological attempts to change the attitudes of the captives. For this reason, he went through additional torture because the North Vietnamese felt an even greater need to indoctrinate him to their ideology. One of the things which he vowed when captured was to refuse to cooperate with his captors, a vow which he carried to extremes. Mr, Risner suffered three brutal beatings rather than allowing the North Vietnamese to obtain written statements om him for propaganda purposes. In order to stop them from using him as a radio broadcaster, he attempted to destroy his vocal cords. At first he tried violently hitting his larynx; when that did not succeed, he gargled with a mixture of water and the lye from his soap.

Bnlinntin* <® My m by Israel Friedman Hello again dear readers. It's too bad I've missed the last three weeks. Too bad for me that is, because even if you didn't miss me, I've certainly missed you. It's been rough, but I think I've emerged the winner after a 15 round knock down, drag-out bout with several quarts of Wild Turkey. I even managed to do some of my drinking in the public houses in town so here's the rundown. Went to see King of Hearts last weekend. Very great movie, about what is real and what isn't, and who's to say who should be on the outside looking in and who should be on the inside looking out. Very interesting. After the movie, we made our way over to "Ma Barkers." It's on Kenmore Ave. right across the street from St. Joe's High School. Last time I lived in Buffalo, this place was called Eduardo's, and it served some fine pizza and other Italian food. Now it's "Ma Barkers" and you'll find a whole slew of old cars all over the place, really, on the roof, on a pole, in the parking lot, almost anywhere you look. But when you get inside, the red hot coals building up inside begin to cool. There's this girl in front of us and it seems like this guy at the door just isn't going to let this girt into the club because she's wearing jeans. In a rush of panic we quickly glance down, first at ourselves, then at each other, only to breathe a sign of relief. O.K. we're all right. Funny, just for that instand nobody seemed to remember what they were wearing. The girl turns, dishearted, and rqakes for the door. We sashay into the bar room. The reaon I say sashay is because as soon as somebody comes into the room and heads toward the bar, all eyes in the place move in their direction to see if it's anybody of interest. And I'm not just talking about the men ogling the women: the women are just the samy way. It's a strange sensation to watch people look at each other as if they were a side of beef, everyone making their own appraisals as you go by. Since you feel all those eyes on you, you might just as well sashay right on in, which is exactly what we did. After a little while we found a table and ordered some drinks, weak and overpriced, and paused for a second to have a gander at our environment. A quick glance in the direction of the stage: a white band with a black woman singer, playing some funky shit music. They might be worth coming back to hear on a night when the place is quiet, but that night they were no better than a jukebox. There was nothing else about the place that was worth remembering, other than it had a big round bar. We had to flee. "Whew, let's find some place where we can relax and have fun, and I know the perfect place." That's right, there is a place in town where you can relax, enjoy yourself, and look around and see everyone else having a good time, too. And why not, when the band consists of a not so old grey-haired guy that looks like a cross between Roy Clark and Charley Rich singing, a woman about the same age playing fiddle and a trio of country musicians all getting together to give you their rendition of that old Conway Twitty tune, “Young Love, True Love." The "Club Utica," that's it. The "Club Utica" over on Buffalo's West Side. And this place is as close to what you'd call a honky-tonk saloon as any place in Buffalo. Just lots of folks steppin' out for some spirits, a little dancin' and a good time. After the other bar, this place was like heaven and that's the point of all this. "Ma Barkers" had all the swinging singles, people who were supposed to have something on the ball, and nobody in the whole place looked like they were having a good time. While at the "Club Utica," it was obvious that everyone was having a good time, and this place was cowboys, working claSs and kids in jeans. full of people —Hear 0 Israel— For gems from the JEWISH BIBLE Phone 875-4265 Prodigal Sun �Past the effetes The artist as a thinking, involved social being by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor While artists are often portrayed as individualists by nature, there are a few who emphatically oppose this view both in words and in their work. While rare on the American scene today, these artists believe that artists, like all people, are social beings, and that they derive their creativity from their involvement in the lives of ordinary people. Not "outside" of society, or "above" it, as some falsely believe, these artists feel that they have a social responsibility to produce art that addresses the everyday lives of broad groups of people their hopes and dreams, their joys and sorrows, their triumphs and defeats. Vet these socially conscious artists get little publicity from the profit-oriented mass media, and often eke out an existence in the unknown world of obscurity. Vet, history provides a rich tradition of socially conscious artists, and when they capture the sentiments of a people in motion, they are propelled to the center stage of history. - Jean Louis Forain (1852-1931), in his Three Workers, captures the mood of these downtrodden men in their temporary escape from the job. Forain maintained sympathy for the poor, and often attacked the rich in satirical drawings and lithographs. Across the border in Germany, Kathe Kollwitz (1867-1945) was producing drawings and prints of a similar nature. Highly skilled in drawing, her etchings capture the emotion of people in their struggle with life. Among her hundreds of prints is the unique series on Germany's Peasant Wars of the 1700's, which she learned about from progressive writers and socialists. — Talented artist She produced another series of The first Peasants Such was the case in Europe in the early of the industrial revolution, which facilitated the transition from a disintegrating feudal system to capitalism. The life of the peasants grew worse, as many were thrown off their land, and they were left to wander, beg, rob and dodge the authorities and the vagrancy laws, or take jobs as wage laborers in the young days oppressive manufacturing enterprises. Artists and writers responded to the economic, social and political disruption of the,people's lives, and produced hundreds of sketches, paintings, prints, essays and books recording this turbulent period. Occassionally, artists were inspired by the tremendous revolutions that shook the very fabric of society, from the French Revolution of 1789, to the European revolutions of 1848, to the Russian prints recording the desperate plight and revolt of the Silesian weavers in 1840, after seeing the theater production oof The Weavers, by Gerhart Hauptmann. The weavers, working at hand looms in their own cottages, were becoming totally impoverished as power looms and the factory system undercut their labor. two and show repression. Worked over and over at great pains for four years, this series is a masterpiece of class-conscious art. When the Russian workers and peasants overthrew the Tsar and capitalism in two Revolution of 1917. Revolutions Muralists French artists, Honore Daumier 808-1 879), Camille Pissarro (1830-1903), Auguste Lepere (1849-1918), and others revered the life of the peasant. Heavily taxed, thrown from his land, and abused in the towns, the peasant became a heroic figure, particularly after rising with artisans and town workers in France and Germany in the earthshaking revolutions of 1848. While these artists defended the peasants and their calm rural life through their paintings, the capitalist mode of production and increasing industrialization continued to tear them from their land. Pissarro, among others, was influenced by the ideas of anarchists, and socialists including Marx. By the late 1880's and 1890's, many artists had joined radical writers in producing journals that put forward the idea that both artists and workers were victims of capitalist society. One exceptional artist from this period was Alphonse Legros (1837-1911). Introduced to etching, he helped promote its renaissance in the 1860's in Paris. Recognized as a talented artist, Legros produced over 800 prints, maintaining high creative and technical standards. Depicting wandering beggars or weary peasants, he was considered a master print-maker. His careful etching resulted in soft textured effects, which often enhanced his subjects. In his Le Retour du bois, (Return from the wood) he captures the idyllic but hard life of the peasants in the rural countryside. Workers As the town workers grew in number, many artists, including Edgar Degas (1 834-1 917), Eugene Carriere (1849-1906), and others portrayed their lives. Forced to labor long hours under horribly oppressive conditions, the urban worker was robbed of everything but his ability to work. The increasing dehumanization and impoverishment of the workers is graphically portrayed in the sketches and prints of these socially conscious artists.

Along with fellow artists Diego Rivera Jose Orozco, Sigueiros eventually gained international recognition. "Ours was a movement that expressed in large dynamic form on walls that millions could see, the revolutionary national and social aspirations of the Mexican people,'' wrote Sequeiros. and As a boy, he attended the San Carlos Acadamy for art in Mexico City, and like most art students, fought in the Mexican Revolution of 1911 1917, to break the chains of feudalism. Later he fought in the Spanish Civil War against fascism. bohemians' He speaks of the Mexican Revolution "Before that, we were typical bohemians. Our bodies were in Mexico, but our souls were in Paris, and we didn't want to know our own country. Participation in the armed struggle taught us the geography, ethnography and history of Mexico. It brought us into contact with its people peasants, workers and Indians." Siqueiros' art began to reflect the aspirations of these people, and he became involved in many social and political movements. Among various activities he helped to organize mine-workers, teachers and students and to win support for the Cuban Revolution of 1959, and was arrested, jailed, and exiled a number of times. Once, while jailed for his participation in a railroad workers strike, he covered the prison walls with murals. Combining his art with his social and political activities, Siqueiros joined the Communist Party of Mexico and initiated the party's paper, El Machete (now La Voz).

Siqueiros wrote: "So long as artists do not conquer the opinion of the popular majorities, they will never be able, with their own expressive means, with their corresponding aesthetic scale, to produce an art as powerful as that of the best epochs of the past.

Melissa's voice may be gentle and soothing, provacatively taunting, or powerful and throaty as she sings blues-rock straight from the gut. But her control and timing never falter. Her back-up serves to reinforce the rhythm, point up the melody and underscore her voice. Most of the songs are backed up by James Newton Howard on electric piano, David Wolfert on acoustic and electric guitar. Cooker Lo Presti on bass, and Kirk Bruner on drums. Synthesizer, organ, sax, congas and trumpets are utilized ocassionally. Melissa herself plays a more than proficient piano. I have no complaints with her back-up, but matched against her voice, I can't guarantee that you'll pay much attention to anyone else. In all her songs, Melissa manages to convey the complexity of female emotions; though each tune is a self-contained unit, it goes through its own cycle of feelings in a neat 3-minute package. From the bump-rhythm of "Party Music" to the exhuberant strength of vision in "Just Too Many People" to the wisdom and wistfullness of "Midnite Blue," to the coy, whimsical flavor of "I Got Eyes" to the pathos of "This Lady's Not Home." There is a tribute in "Stevie's Wonder" which is characteristically witty and taunting: Heaven on your shoulder I've been told you got a special in with him or her Connecting with Heaven on your shoulder I've been told you know how energies begin this dissection and comparison finally doesn't add up on earth to Melissa's "style." She is too talented and versatile (and potentially more so) to be so patly defined. Her Spirit come and enter my night lyrics betray a woman who knows the pain and the want to know inner light Guide me joy of loving. Wise to her need to be loved and- to want to be your pretty mamma love, Melissa sings the range of a woman's heart; the wonder what it's like makin' love hope and trust that underly the hurt, the power and To a genius excitement of her passion. Melissa Manchester is more than just a foxy lady Melissa wrote all the songs on the album Melissa, with an album to sell. She's a sensitive, talented except for Stevie Wonder's "Loving Having You woman and singer; an angel with a wicked streak. Around" and Randy Newman's "I Don't Want to Melissa's going to make it big. The album Melissa will Hear It Anymore." And they're all good listening show you why. -Marcia Kaplan — — — — / / / .... — Bad Comapny, Straight Shooter, (Swan Song) Bad Company is following in the soiled and unimaginative footsteps of Led Zeppelin. Like Led Zeppelin, Bad Company's sound sluggishly surges from macho power chording and sexual catcalls, groaning and other assorted moans, all supposed to be wildly erotic. It would appear that Bad Company, who is tersely worded emphathetic statement of a woman's needs and desires rivals anything that Sigmund Freud could muster on the enigmatic subject. Sexism has always plagued rock, but Bad Comapny is so blatant and singleminded in its stance that the excesses of male macho become too intolerable and offensive to dismiss. I can't locate any redeeming social value on this Ip. It is neither recording on Led Zepplin's record label Swan Song, entertaining nor enlightening. Bad Company is about is being groomed to succeed the Limp Blimp as the thr ->uld h. thr br kings of cucumber rock. This theory derives more than its share of credibility with the circulation of rumors noting Jimmy Page's worsening senility and Robert Plant's contraction of a fatal case of prickly heat. Cucumber rock translated into the vernacular is’ rocks off music guided be a puerile, male chauvinist sexual vision, or should I say a stigmatrsm. The much bandied about supposition that Bad Comapny is a supergroup is highly suspect. Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke from Free dictate the group's musical posture. Rodgers and Kirke see that Bad Company's music never transcends the vacuous shallowness which Free so habitually inhabited. Mick Ralphs, Mott The Hoople's contribution to this bogus superband, is satisfied to cash in any artistry he might possess for the money and exposure assured him by Joining this crew of flunkies. Straight Shooter, Bad Company's latest foray into cucumber rock, is saturated with prosaic riffs and a gross lyrical ineptitude. Paul Rodgers' lead vocals are never better than mediocre, while often wallowing close to that area labeled yeah, yeah, yeah or some other insipid phrase throughout the record event that your door is smashed in at midnight by is funky or sexual. Too bad it is neither, but simply the likes of Richard Speck, Charlie Manson and irritating. Willian Calley, all brandishing copper plated yard Simon Kirke's percussion once again proves that long cucumbers. Straight Shooter is a record in the sleaziest he is the best one armed drummer in rock. His driving rhythms portray all the piercing imagery of a tradition of Led Zep and cucumber rock. Avoid and broken metronome. Lyrically Mick Ralphs provides reject this hackneyed and sexist endeavor and wait some penetrating insights into the feminine psyche patiently for the advent of a phallic rock in with his “Good Lovin' Gone Bad." No / ain't tenderness, true communication and body complaining/ I'm just trying to understand what awareness. Until then, anyway you toss Straight C.P. Farkas makes a woman do the things she does. Clearly this Shooter it comes up craps or boxcars. ~ , — Page sixteen The Specrtum Friday, 25 April 1975 . . Al Kooper, Al's Big. Deal /Unclaimed Freight, (Columbia) It seems to be in vogue to collect the best of an artist's work and call it an anthology. Columbia has done this with Al Kooper, and with reasonable success. The work comes from various albums done with his friends, mostly out on the West Coast. Side one is taken from the first Blood, Sweat and Tears album. Child is Father to the Man. This music is a pleasant montage of jazz, starting with the Kooper cut, "I Can't Quit Her." Al does the keyboards, lead vocals and arrangements for this side with technical expertise provided by the likes of Steve Katz and Fred Lipsius. Notable performances are turned in by them, as well as by the horn section, which maintains a tight, cohesive sound throughout. Kooper penned all the tracks on the side with the exception of "Without Her," by Harry Nilsson and "So Much Love/Underture," by Carole King and Gerry Goffin. If there are any slow parts here, they are due to the repetitiveness of Kooper's voice. However, this does not continue throughout the album and is not especially irritating anyway. Nilsson's tune is a very mellow song describing one man's need for his special woman. On "So Much Love," Al's limited vocal range holds him back, although his supporting musicians do a great deal to make up for it. Kooper's songwriting style is not redundant, and he knows how to make good use of all the instruments that he has at his disposal. Side two represents Kooper's blues side. On "Albert's Shuffle," Micheal Bloomfield assists with some fine guitar that fits in extremely well with Kooper's organ. This cut and "Season of the Witch," which follows, was taken from the Super Session LP done with Steve Stills. "Season of the Witch" is an eleven minute version of the original Donovan work which never drags, thanks to the intimate jamming of Kooper, Stills, Brooks, and Eddie Hoh on percussion. Harvey Brook's bass is precisely present, but does not intrude on the overall sound of the piece. The side ends with Dylan's "If Dogs Run Free," with an excellent scat vocal by Maretha Stewart. Al keeps his piano accompaniment pretty low keyed, as it is Dylan's song, but it was worth including, if only to expose another side of this versatile artist. Bloofield joins Al again on the third side, for two songs recorded live at the Fillmore West: "The 59th Street Bridge Song" by Paul Simon, and an instrumental version of 'The Weight." Paul Simon does harmonies for his song and John Kahn, who has worked with Simon, plays bass for both cuts. The live sound is definitely there, sans mistakes that all too often marr some live recordings. Incidentally, both tunes can also be found on The Live Adventures of Mike Bloomfield and A! Kooper, an album that attests to the compatability of Kooper and Bloomfield. "Bury My Body" comes from Kooper's session with Shuggie Otis. It's worth noting that Otis was Only 15 years old when the album was cut. He and Kooper really cook for close to nine minutes. Ms. Stewart returns with Hilda Harris and Albertine Robinson to do some very nice background vocals. "Jolie," the last song on side three, gives Al a chance to try his hand at string and horn synthesizer. Although I am not, in general, a fan of synthesized music, I was pleased with this approach to a pretty song. "I Stand Alone" shows kooper making overtures to the BS&T days of his past. The familiar horn sound is there again with Charlie McCoy doing the arrangements this time. "Brand New Day," from the Easy Does It album, is probably my favorite. Kooper plays all guitars, piano, organ and six string bass. It is reminescent of late 60's optimism, describing his conception of our potential for love. If this sounds Flower-Childish at least it is a welcome change from the pessimistic attitudes reinforced by modern universities. John Prine's "Sam Stone" vents his frustrations at the problem of hard drug addiction, something the war did nothing to dissapate. He then settles into "New York City (You're a Woman)", using a Mellotron and organ, among other instruments, to express his perplexion at that island that can be so cold and so attractive at the same time. The Ray Charles celebration "I Got a Woman" closes the set, and provides a vehicle for the expert use of strings and horns, both arranged by Oiarlie Calello. Stu Woods and Fred Sipsius step out respectively with bass and alto sax solos that add a well-rounded final touch to some sweet sounds. If you are already familiar with Al Kooper, this two record set will reaffirm what you already know. If, like me, he was only a name on the back of album covers to you, you could very possibly be subtly surprised. Al and the folks at Columbia have gotten together a fine set for you. -Bill Ickes Prodigal Sun �Can the cosmic wrapper To the Editor. Another episode of the assinine political maneuvering that typifies the situation at our fine University was witnessed last Wednesday (April 16) at the so-called assembly meeting. We refer to the granting, by the Assembly to Mr. Michael “Lev” Levinson the right to present a “Cultural” program just before the Speakers’ Bureau sponsored address by David Brinkley. While we are not overly thrilled with Mr. Brinkley, we feel that Mr, Levinson’s presentation will hofd no redeeming social value, and will be literally a waste of the people’s precious time. If the Student Association continues to be so arbitrary and capricious as to allow such a person as Mr. Levinson to speak especially after ranting and raving like a child, who will they not allow to speak Stan Morrow? Or perhaps Richard Nixon? If such travesties are allowed to continue, it seems that our nation will be on the road to oblivion sooner than Gerald Ford’s current time table calls for. - Levon Smith SIC To the Editor. Spending your money The S.A. voted to have a cultural event a free stew dent activity to be presented by Michael Stephen Levinson Lev Man The Cosmic Wrapper student No. 48024 in Clark hall for who ever wanted to come Lev Man the Shamen followed by David Brinkley. The S.A. voted to change the advirtizing making note of a double feature. The Spectrum ad wasn't changed because the paid student whose constitutionaly-delegated job it is to handle the publicity wasn’t on the job and the executive blew it If any body got screwed it was you. This school almost because number one without any buddy getting committed to anything except the S.A. Assembly who committed themselves maybe to sponsoring a cultural event folk a sing onna word solution to the world's problimbs. The Assembly voted for this cultural event that Michael Stephen Levinson was to present SSSSSSS in Clark Hall last Friday nile because it knows it was hasty when it summarily rejected a ‘seed’ allocation (that means you gel the money back) amounting to one third of one percent of the activity fee for a cultural event that would have played-happened-originated on Channel 17 for the University community and the community at large. — - To the Editor. To those concerned about Attica and the SA allocation of mandatory student fees. Each year we are required by law to contribute $67 in mandatory fees to a small body of people for distribution between various student activities and interests. We are required by a law which earlier this year we had the chance to amend, but few of us even voted. 1 don’t want buses to the Sabre’s games and disapprove of the way most of our money is spent. For those of you so hot and bothered by a $ I 300 allotment out of a budget of $800,000, keep in mind what a small percentage that comes out to be. If you want to play statistics it comes out to less than a quarter per person. If the approximately 200 students now working around the Attica trials, and the few hundred or so people whd support the struggle had the opportunity to do so, we would surely be willing to part with more than 25 cents out of the total $67. I think we would all like more of a say in where our money is spent. If one went to the SA meeting on April 14 they would have heard SA members discuss the foolishness of such a proposition. They voted down an amendment that would have allowed students to vote on the allocation of their fees. If we had this power each student could allot the share they wish (be it S5 for Day Care or buses to concerts or $3 for speakers or whatever- to their primary concerns. No one is wasting your money! We just need to have more of a say as to where it goes. Hopefully, through the efforts of a number of people (and the more that help the better) the SA will be open to all of us. We can get rid of the new bureaucratic constitution and, at the very least, get a referendum or computer form questionnaire together so that all students can decide on the allotment of funds. Harold Meyrowitz What's the story? To the Editor I must admit 1 find the politics, even the logic of The Spectrum confusing. On the one hand you call for a complete end to U S. involvement in Southeast Asia, a typically liberal position which I expect of those who have no commitment to destruction of life-denying social-economic forces other than a naive moral one. On the other hand you publish advertisements for Marine Corps recruitment and Reserve Officers Training Corps, an indefensibly reactionary act. The United States has gone to far along its self-contradictory path in the last 15 years not to demand that you see the inherent contrariety involved herein. Marine Corps and ROTC is, in post-Nuremberg, post-industrial logic directly responsible, a direct link in U.S. imperialism at home (you also publish a story urging students to buy Iceberg lettuce, a direct attack upon the United Farm Workers who have for several years engaged in nationwide boycott of such scab products) and abroad. For you to publish such ads and opinions constitutes complicity in that which you condemn. So what’s the story? - be noted that this controversial poet Michael Stephen Levinson lives here in Western, N Y. Furthermore. Lev did a television program on Amherst cablevision and it was written up big in the local press. The CTIANCiLS party. elected with all their computer programs are all dorm students from Queens, naturally, so they arent responsive to community needs and or desires. On the other hand. President Mishelle Smith remarked that she had heard of l,ve before she was a student here and read some of Lev’s hook and Lev was famous. The resolution sponsoring LFV in the gym was made because the Assembly recognized that Stan Morrow, the PAID student in charge of The Speaker’s Beaurow wouldn’t put it on his program. This was separate sponsership (beaurecracy, etc.). Stan Morrow not ownly disobeyed a resolution by the body at large to cooperate with the production of this separate cultural event. He also lied sic to and misled the executive about Brinkley’s contract with the S.A. and in concert with Tony Schimmel non person from the gsa did what I’m going to tell you: Friday morning the word came out that if anything happened when Brinkley was here and he didn’t know about it a month in advance, the stew dent assoc, could get sued. The contractual clause in Brinkley’s contract means that if he’s hired to speak he comes and gives a speech and not to necessarily be on a panal with 14 sex liberationists. There isn’t anything in Brinkley’s contract that can be reasonably contrued to exclude the possibility of good news in poetic form being created and presented in the same auditorium before David Brinkley’s arrival in that auditorium When 1 met with Stan Morrow at this request so he could deturmine what I was doing (this is student czar as censor . . and you pay him a stipen), 1 explained to him that I was going to sing some cosmic poems about world prob limbs that wold demonstrate possible answers to problems that Brinkley might raise in his speech (Vietnam-Israel the Economy); and that during the question and answer period, 1 was going to reacquaint myself with him and ask him a lot of serious questions about t.v. news. And give him a letter for President Ford. About Peace. And give him the color video tape of what happened in the Gym before he arrived so he It should prophet - . — could tune in at his own leisure. NBC has at least a half hour of Lev on tape already. I told all of this to Stan After I was interviewed by Mr. Morrow I was accosted in the hall by Tony Schimmel. He claimed that the gsa was sponsoring Brinkley and he was against my speaking and a bunch of other stuff that indicate to me that this dude is a sad sick human being in need of psychological rehabilitation. Here is a guy who refused to shit when he was a little kid and despises his mother. Actually the gsa didn’t sponser anything and Tony Schimmel distinguished himself later. Mishelle Smith ORDERED Stan Morrow to announce beforehand that I was supposed to appear beforehand but blah blah blah afterword. That would make if official for the 600 sum odd dummies who had converged on Clark hall for whatever. Instead, when 1 arrived Stan sook me out sat down and told me that contrary to plan 1 could only speak afterword for 10 minutes and he didn’t announce it. When I was recognized by the speaker some one else started talking. When I got to the mike and waited my turn the floor mike was too loud Brinkley couldnt get the questions so you couldn’t talk to him on the microphone and be heard on the radio. The floor mike was made inoperative by the sound technitions on orders from Morrow and Schimmel. Brinkley had finished his speech and was into quest and answers by 8:40. When I spoke with him he recalled our meeting said that as long as he almost had a Lev book before I should give him one there. And after the questions I should recite my poems. One of the questioners was a grad student who once circulated a petition on the second floor of Norton to have you know who BARREDfrom the campus. The questions and answers got so boring that finally Brinkley said ok two more questions and I’m going. After the question (fearing I imagine that these dummies in the gym were going to surround him he headed for the door). 1 hadn’t given him a Lev book yet so 1 walked toward him and was blocked by a security person Diane who told me that she was ordered to keep me away. When 1 get up to Brinkley 1 say David here is your book he says ‘thats right’ but I’m having trouble handing it to him because a student has me by the right arm and someone was trying to pull at my left I was just barely able to put the book and my mother’s campaign literature in his hands. The Speaker told me I was to have 10 minutes. I walk bak to the microphone and Tony Schimmel appears directly in front of me with his back to the audience and smirks “Thank you for your cooperation” . . sad. The microphone didn’t want to work right and they began to immediately break down the equipment crashing chairs, etc. Upon my return to Norton Union 1 ran into the THREE editors in charge of the most recent LEV story. As I recall we four of us went over to Dr. Ketter’s house where there was a reception. There could haye been 20 or 30 friends. Mrs. Ketter gave me a plateful of delicious food. The potato salad was great. So was the conversation with Tony Lorrenzetti. So were the last few moments with - - . Brinkley. Dr. Ketter looked worn out. From being surrounded by creep students instead of normal people. The President of the S.A. told me 1 have the right to speak and they are going to sponser me again. - Michael Stephen Levinson Fred Friedman Friday, 25 April 1975 The Spectrum .

Dr. Siggelkow, Dr. Lorenzetti and Attica support group leaders seated and themselves before the assembled students at the far end of Hass lounge, gave opening statements and then fielded questions. Cleariy unconstitutional The mandatory fee guidelines clearly unconstitutional in denying students freedom of speech and assembly, Mr. Strong are jl asserted. “We feel you decision is arbitrary and capricious,” he said, citing court decisions in support of his arguments. He said Dr. Lorenzetti had violated mandatory fee guidelines by not making inquiries into the activities planned for the April 28 demonstration, which he believed money which it collects. didn’t hear any language this to says that is be he told the educational,” students. Citing the resolution and news articles in The Spectrum which referred to the Albany excursion as a “demonstration,” he said his decision was purely adminstrative and non-political. Dr. Lorenzetti insisted that his decision was made without any outside pressure, stressing that the program of the is quality irrelevant if it does not fit the “I fee guidelines. But the students were clearly with the dissatisfied explanations, adminstrators’ which they felt obscured the political nature of the situation. “What you term political is part of our education,” said one angry mandatory student. Dr. urged Siggelkow the students to go to court on the matter as a challenge to the mandatory fee. According to the Attica support group, a student suit would come before Supreme Court Justice Carmen Ball, the supervising judge for all Attica were educational. fee Mandatory guidelines stipulate that funds can only be used for educational, social, cultural, or recreational activities. Richard another Bronson, support group member, said it was a basic question of who controls whose lives. “It’s our money coming out of our pockets and we have the right to say what that goes to.” Dr. Siggelkow, in his opening statement, reaffirmed to opposition any type Precedent Dr. Lorenzetti cited legal decisions which he said upheld opinion that the institution had the responsibility for spending cases. “If you’re approved requisitions for buses to the April 2 demonstration in front of Erie County (SA) Student Association from the State delegates University at Buffalo, are now permitted to drive state vehicles for official business purposes after losing this privilege during the campus unrest of the late sixties. The ruling was authorized by Edward Doty, vice president for Operations and Systems last December SA delegates lost the privilege state cars for business purposes .during the days of student activism when a number of cars were marked with paint or slightly damaged. Since then, many delegates have been forced to rely on their own cars for business, which according to SA President Michele Smith is “really hard on a student who can’t afford this kind of transportation.” This University arid the State University at Delhi were the only two SUNY institutions which didn’t provide transportation for their delegates. to use During the 1974 fall semester, members of the SA related their Courthouse. transportation problems to the Student Association of the State University (SASU). After being contacted by SASU, Clifford Thorn, from the Central Administration in Albany, then issued an order to administrators here which allowed students to use state vehicles to drive to SASU conferences Beware of truckers The Legal Aid Clinic has advised students who plan to contract with one of the student-run trucking services advertising on campus to fully investigate the company first. This advice was prompted by numerous complaints received by the Clinic and the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) charging Campus Transport, a company which operated last year, with poor service. Legal Aid’s David Richman and Bill Martin suggested ways students can protect their property when dealing with these companies. Labels, receipts ancf picking luggage quickly up will help avoid location mix-ups. Students should be aware that “one shot-deal” companies, like the ones that cater to students this time of year do not have to obtain a trucking license. Mr. Richman has urged companies operating under a title that does not include the owner’s name, like “Campus Movers-,” to file with the County, so that students can determine who is behind the firm. Inadequate insurance is another student complaint, according to Legal Aid. Bob Hasenstab of Burt Van Lines, an IRC endorsed company, suggested that students determine exactly how much their property is insured for and what the terms of their contract is before signing it. The Spectrum would like to extend wishes for a speedy recovery to Buffalo’s Associate Athletic director Ed Muto, who suffered a heart attack last Sunday, and is in the intensive care unit of Millard Fillmore hospital on Gates Circle in Buffalo. At press time his condition was listed as fair but guarded. Muto, a popular administrator and former basketball coach, started to feel chest pains while playing golf Sunday afternoon. He promptly went home, called his doctor and was sent to the hospital that night. Muto is in his mid-forties.

This entitles the EOC to elect its own UUP representatives and elect a member of UUP’s Executive Board. 465 EOC, located at Washington Street in Buffalo, is designed to help educationally disadvantaged students prepare for college. Instructor Nancy Barnes, who termed the center a “madhouse,” complained in a letter to The Spectrum that EOC teachers are required to be present in the building between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. every working day, and can leave the building only for lunch. They must sign in and out of the building in addition to filling out the normal University time sheets, she said, adding that any request to leave early, even for medical appointments, must be submitted in writing to the assistant director’s office. EOC instructors have a teaching load of 20-25 hours per week, considerably higher than the 15-hour University average, she said. Ms. Barnes charged that the regular registration deadline was “non-existent” last semester, and explained that there were students in one of her classes which had a seating capacity of 30. Attrition rates at the center, which serve many older students, are very high, and Ms. Barnes claimed that too little effort is directed toward the problem. In addition to her teaching duties, Ms. Barnes is head of the EOC reading lab. She claimed that lab courses were constantly interrupted by an influx of new students who missed the early classes and need lessons repeated.

She’s a grandmother, she doesn’t like to tell her age, and she didn’t join the professional women’s bowling tour until her children were old enough to take care of themselves. Doris started bowling about 25 years ago for fun, “like any average housewife.” But after bowing for fun for about ten years, she began to get more serious about the game and started joining various classic leagues, composed of strong local bowlers. In 1968, she began practicing regularly for about an hour a day.

As such I’ll probably do something terribly unoriginal, like writing my will and leaving funny things to different people. I’ll be accepting suggestions until next Wednesday. If there's anything I have that you want, just let me know. The only things I’ll need to keep are my typewriter so I can keep writing wherever the winds take me, and my car which I'll need to get out of town. Incidentally, I ran out of tact, pride and integrity long ago, so don't bother to ask. Editor's - by Bruce Engel Several weeks ago two of our biggest issues blended together, when complaints arose that women were being inhibited from playing in the Bubble. (It was still called the Bubble then. We have since started referring to the temporary Amherst recreation facility as the Ketterpillar, the name that won in the Bubble contest.) by David J. Rubin Staff Writer Spectrum Pitching both good and bad made the difference at Peelle Field on Tuesday as the baseball Bulls split a doubleheader with Niagara. Buffalo lost the first game 8-6, but came back to take the nightcap 8-2. In the first game, the hosts rebounded from two one-run deficits and took a 6-2 lead going into the seventh and final inning. Starting Buffalo pitcher Both issues, recreation and women’s rights, are typical topics for a sports department that would more traditionally be concerned with the intracies of hockey and basketball, the latest scoop on who’s recruiting who and an occasional budget controversy. Yet both are issues of extreme importance and their mix is particularly fascinating. The Ketterpillar (why not make it retroactive) has been in the news since Recreation Director Bill Monkarsh and student government leaders began lobbying for it 17 months ago. The issue was as powerfully simple as a place for people to play during the cold Buffalo winter. It’s something that should have been planned for. I shouldn’t even have to write about it. But it wasn’t and I did, and let me tell you something else as vital a need as it is, for people like Monkarsh, Dwane Moore from Facilities Planning and SA’s Howard Schapiro, it was the hassle of their lives. — And that was just the beginning. Last fall, construction bids had to be solicited and contracts awarded, it was January 15 before the thing was up and March before it was functional. Then there were problems with the lighting, scattered complaints about the floor and backboards, uncertainty as to operating hours, trouble with tennis reservations, and finally the women’s night hassle. (Keep your shirts on feminists. I’ll be a good guy before this is through.) The Ketterpillar is not God’s gift to Buffalo by any means. It has problems and will continue to. All that it is and all that it was designed to be is better than nothing. Considering the alternative, it’s a pretty good deal. Keep complaining because that’s the only way it will improve, but keep that perspective too. No one should have expected a palace. This year for the first time Women’s Lib reached Buffalo’s athletic department. The women’s program made some well deserved big steps forward. I hired a female writer to concentrate on it, though eventually she dabbled in other things and a few of the guys wrote about women’s sports. We realize that women’s-teams are important; their contests have provided a lot of good copy. We have been sensitive to the fact that women should be eligible for Athlete of the Week - two women were so honored. We know that, for example, when Dave Hnath writes a feature about men that play more than one sport, there are women who do the same and Joy Clark is working on a followup. Similarly when we release, as we will soon, our selections of the University’s top scholar athlete list, there will be a women’s version too. It’s been so good that Dave Rubin, the worst sexist on the staff, wrote the story about Monica Winkel winning the horse race without so much as one —Santos John Buszka gave up a home run to shortstop Tim O’Leary to lead off the seventh. Following a double to designated hitter Joe Raffuel, Buszka threw two balls to second baseman Dan Sisto. Coach Bill Monkarsh decided it was time to call in a relief pitcher. No relief Don Salvatore was brought in to squelch the fire, but he pitched more like an arsonist. Salvatore walked Sisto and got Ed Warnke on a fly to center. The Bulls’ ace reliever then walked the next hitter ignored the men, and gone right on playing. Isn’t that what women’s lib is all about? Ejection! The big explosion, however, came in the last of the fifth. With runners at first and third, and one out, first baseman Bob Amico hit a ground ball to the right of second base. Sisto dropped it before stepping on second. However, shortstop O’Leary picked up the ball and fired to first to complete the double play attempt. Umpire Gary Neunder made no call at second, and signaled out at first. He then turned back to second and yelled “safe” to the amazement of pitcher John Rumschik. Runschik ran out toward Neunder and was immediately ejected from the game after using some choice words to describe Neunder’s officiating. The second game was not nearly as exciting as the first, as the Bulls scored six times in the first two innings. Buffalo hurler Mike Dean had little difficulty keeping Niagara at bay, throwing a four-hitter while going the distance for the third straight time. jmcArtsJdttxCtoutttee PRESENTS complaint. Still I’ve been called a sexist. That’s O.K. I’ve been called worse. What’s more, it’s probably right. But I’m changing. At least 1 like to think so. When the Ketterpillar starting operating, the recreation staff was concerned the few women were playing in it. The women complained that the men were inhibiting them. Joy did a story about it. A special women’s night was set up and if the growth of women’s athletics can be considered an athletic extension of women’s lib then women’s night is analagous to affirmative action. A good idea, this woman’s night, and a necessary one. But it’s a shame that men have to be excluded from this precious playing space when the women only half fill it, as they did the first two women’s nights. Of course, it’s the men’s own fault, those of them that sneered at, laughed at, harassed .or otherwise inhibited the women who were simply exercising their God-given right to play (life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness). But to an extent it was the women’s fault too. Wouldn’t it be better if they could have sneered back and said something like, “Up yours buddy. We have a right to play too.” Or they simply could have and threw two more balls to first baseman Kevin Gilman when Monkarsh decided he’d had enough. Monkarsh yanked Salvatore and brought on Mike Klym. Klym added more fuel to the fire by completing the walk to Gilman. After he threw two more balls to catcher Rich Horn, Monkarsh wasted no time in making it a three-alarm blaze, calling in his third reliever of the inning, Bill Casbolt. Still trailing by two runs, the Purple Eagles had the bases full, with only one out. Casbolt finished Klym’s job by walking Horn and thereby forcing the other run. Left-fielder Art Carlisie tapped to first, scoring the tying run, and Niagara took the lead when Casbolt threw a wild pitch. A single by centerfielder Tim McNamara gave the Eagles an insurance run and capped the six-run, three-hit rally. There were more fireworks in the first game previous to the stunning comeback by the Eagles. The Bulls capitalized on three Niagara miscues and a wild pitch for four runs in the sixth. Jim Zadora’s triple and Rick Wolstanholme’s double were the big blows in the Bull attack.

Ms. Cook testified in wade had recently lived in with other Attica defense workers at 48 St. Johns Place had been destroyed by fire. Cause has not yet been determined by fire investigators. In court yesterday, Ms. Cook said she was afraid she or her family would be killed because of her disclosure that she was an FBI informer. 16, defendants Dalou Asahi, Big Black, Charley Joe Bahati Kakawana (Bernard Pernasalice, and She also testified Sjroble), who is accused of that some of the notes she murdering inmates Kenneth Hess accumulated as an informer might arid Barry Schwartz. Shango has have been destroyed by the fire. Barbara Hanschu, Ms. Cook’s also been accused, along with Big lawyer, labeled the fire Black (Frank Smith), Herbert X Blyden, Eric Thompson and Roger Champen, of kidnapping the men after they gave a newsreporter information without permission during the 1971 prison uprising. Hess and Schwartz were found dead when police retook the prison. Presiding Judge Joseph S. Mattina had reserved decision on a defense request that the FBI be ordered to furnish the papers and notes that Ms. Cook gave them. He also denied a request that Ivan Makuch, another agent who Ms. Cook said she had lived with, be called to testify. Government misconduct The defense believes Ms. Cook’s testimony is evidence of government misconduct and constitutes grounds for the dismissal of all Attica indictments. Similar government misconduct led the dismissal of charges in the Ellsberg and Wounded Knee cases. Defense attorney William Kunstler has filed a motion to delay the April 28 sentencing of Dacajeweiah (John Hill) and Charley Joe Pemasalice so that a hearing may be held to determine if Ms. Cook penetrated and compromised the defense of the convicted men. Jay Shulman, a sociologist who worked on that case, has signed an affadavit stating that he has never seen a prosecution so accurately strike all the people the defense wanted on the jury. Ms. Cook began her testimony Monday morning unaware that the night before, the house she “mysterious and suspicious.” In testimony that was often broken by tears, Ms. Cook told the court that she gave extensive information about the defense’s Fair Jury Project, legal strategy, courtroom strategy, communication between lawyers and clients, specific information on the defendants and the internal structure of the Attica Brothers Legal Defense. Specific information She also testified that she gave the FBI the names of personal friends of the Attica defendants and phone numbers of people connected with the defense. Specific information was given on legal workers Joe Heath, Gene Fellner, Tom Buchanon, Hayward Burns, Sidney Harring and defendants Dalou Asahi, Bib Black, Charley Joe Pemasalice, and Dacajeweiah (John Hill). “I took the job because 1 thought it was honorable,” she said. “I believed what I had seen on TV about the FBI. I did not seriously believe that my government would ask me to do anything wrong.” Ms. Cook said she was contacted by the FBI through Mr. Makuch, who she was living with and who already was working for them. She had previously worked as a bank teller and had been a graduate English student at the State University at Buffalo. Ms. Cook said she took the FBI job because it was the first she had ever had that would challenge her abilities. “I was free to be myself and get paid for it. Do you —continued on Page 12— A request by Buffalo General Hospital to build a has $100 million facility on Rotary Field an confused situation complicated already surrounding the University’s affiliation agreements with area hospitals. Buffalo General sent President Robert Ketter the proposal several weeks ago, asking for a response from the State University of New York (SUNY) Central Administration within six months. Dr. Ketter forwarded the proposal to officials in Albany, urging them to “expedite a feasibility study within three months.” Meanwhile, discussions were taking place in Albany concerning demands by Erie Count/ officials for increased state allocations to E.J. Meyer Memorial Hospital, which has traditionally served as a teaching hospital for the University’s Medical School. Advantages for both SUNY Executive Vice Chancellor James Kelly indicated at a meeting in Albany last Thursday that the Medical School would require the University would retain its affiliations. The University source had stated that the new hospital “could cut into the commitment to Meyer.” In either case, before the facility could be built, plans would have to go to the regional Hospital Planning Council, Dr. Kelly said, which is why the proposal has not yet “been explored in depth,” But a Buffalo General spokesman said that the hospital would not finalize any plans to build the $100 million project unless there is a “positive response” from the University. Both standpoints Additionally, Dr. Kelly was unsure whether he support the project because he was not familiar with the surrounding community and local patient needs. He admitted, however, that there would be “some advantage” for the Medical School if Buffalo General builds the facility, but “we can’t look at it merely from our standpoint.” Buffalo General is planning to foot the $100 million construction bill, but it would cost State would State University was unhappy with the County’s requests and that “If we couldn’t work out suitable arrangements, we’d seek out other ones.” The Courier-Express reported last Friday that County Executive Edward Regan felt Dr. Kelly’s constituted “It’s just statements a threat. unthinkable that this relationship [between the Medical School and Erie County’s Hospital facilities) would be disrupted,” Mr. Regan said. Dr. Kelly told The Spectrum Monday that no one was being threatened, especially since advantages for both the Medical School and the affiliated hospitals result from a close relationship. The school is affiliated with Buffalo General, Meyer, and Children’s Hospital. Current state funding proposals for~Buffalo General and Children’s are considered acceptable by the County. Aside from a written agreement that the University pay a portion of some physicians’ salaries, there is no official arrangement that obligates State University to pay the County anything more. Cost overrun SUNY has offered the County a total million a year for 30 years as payment Medical School’s use of the County’s This facilities. would specifically of $2.4 for the hospital exclude reimbursements for operating costs. However, when the costs of a new County hospital being planned for construction next to Meyer skyrocketed, County officials asked the state for additional funds that would bring the total to upwards of $4 million yearly, according to a highly-placed University official here. The cost overrun was partially due to the County’s decision not to consult the University when plans for the new facility were being drawn up, the source emphasized. The real issue, he explained, was just how much money are Erie County residents paying to build the hospital. The spokesman also explained that State University’s Upstate and Downstate Medical Centers receive about $9 million in operating expenses from SUNY. This has been cited by Erie County as a reason to give the County hospitals more money. ‘Pandora’s box’ But Dr. Kelly said that type of reasoning would open a “Pandora’s box” because it is difficult to assign a dollar amount to programs in the affiliated hospitals. $2.4 million affiliation agreement that has proposed would not establish any dangerous precedents, but “would be a unique arrangement in Buffalo,” especially since the County is planning to build new facilities, Dr. Kelly said. Although some observers believe a Buffalo General facility would lessen the need for the other The SUNY I I ( University about $25 million for expenses associated with the project. Donald Larson, associate Vice President for Health Sciences here, supports the Buffalo General proposal, believing it will not affect the affiliation arrangements “as far as I know.” He explained that the County is asking for funds via two different channels. One he called “dedicated University space for faculty,” and the other support for operating expenses. Mr. Regan’s office has asked for $6,672,500 annually for operating costs. Different figures Although State University is willing to pay for space used by the Medical School, requests for funding a percentage of hospital operating costs have met stiff opposition. Medical Schools across the country usually do not reimburse affiliated hospitals for operating expenses. In addition to the County’s requests for additional affiliations funds, Mr, Regan’s office and the Democrats who control the County legislature have each arrived at different figures for what the state should pay. The County legislature has asked for $1,932,000 a year while the county administration requested $1,173,700. The State has offered $1.8 million plus $600,000 in maintenance funds, according to the University source. �Hebrew University • The State University College at Oneonta announces a 1975 academic program in Israel at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Haifa University and Bar Ilan University.

Thusfar, the only student input here into the current budget request has been former SA President Frank Jackalone’s and former GSA President Tony Schamel’s attendance at the consulting widely in developing their annual budget. ‘Essential’ “During the past several years, the process of budget building in the State University has enormously improved as consultation has increased,” he said.

Because students are a constituency with the University, “they should intimately be involved in University governance, which budget making is part of,” she said. Participation hindered President Robert Ketter said in a telephone interview yesterday that student representatives had participated in budget committee meetings where their suggestions on which programs should be supported were welcomed. But Mr. Jackalone maintained that he had only been invited to one meeting. This was the extent of student particpation, he asserted. Dr. Ketter said student participation this year had been hindered by a ruling from the State Division of the Budget which limited to five the number of people a campus could invite to its budget hearing in Albany. The five people were each named by the Division of the Budget beforehand, Dr. Ketter reported. He said that in past years he has invited many campus representatvies to the hearing, in Albany, including the three student government presidents (SA.GSA, MFCSA).

I hope very much the matter can be worked out locally.” GSA President Terry DiFilippo and Millard Fillmore College Student Association President Phyllis Schaffner, along with Ms. Smith, requested in a letter to Dr. Ketter dated March 28 that “several students be involved in the discussions preceding decisions regarding the supplemental budget requests, perhaps along the lines promised to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee at its meeting on March 19.” Dr. Ketter has, assured members of the Faculty Senate that their input would be solicited if the University was forced into a retrenchment situation where faculty had to be dismissed.

David Chavis, a member of the Attica Support Group,, said Ms. Smith “feels she is way above accountability to students ... and that her judgement is more valid” than the Student Assembly’s. Of SA’s four SASU representatives, Frank Jackalone and Neil Seiden abstained from the adjournment vote. Melanie Burger and Janis Garver voted against the adjournment motion. Chavis believes Mr. Mr. Jackalone’s and Mr. Seiden’s abstentions were out of line with the Assembly’s intent. But Mr. Jackalone explained that by the time the Attica motion was ready to be discussed, half the people remaining at the meeting were from Buffalo and for him to vote to continue the meeting would be “forcing” the issue on the SASU body. If the motion to adjourn had failed, he continued, there would have probably been further discussion about Affirmative Action, not Attica, anyway. “The effect they would have had at that point would have been little,” he said.

The announcement madfe in a windy outdoor press conference at the Park marked the beginning of a 60-day waiting period during which the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (CEPA) or the State Department of Environmental Conservation may join the suit before it is filed in U.S. District Court. The governments and agencies to be named are accused of violating standards set by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972. “The purpose of our suit is to restore a major water recreational resource for Buffalo, which was designed to be the key to the City’s urban parks system,” Mr. Hoyt said. The former Delaware District Councilman expects the Court to direct the defendants to take immediate steps to clear up the pollution. Mr. Hoyt charged the Town of Cheektowaga’s Sewage Treatment Plant No. 5 with dumping raw sewage into the lake at the rate of more than 10 million gallons a day. “Delaware Park Lake is literally an open sewer,” he said. — — Lake a sewer Besides discharging this pollution and surface debris into the lake, Mr. Hoyt stated that the Town of Cheektowaga has failed to live up to a 1930 agreement it' made with the City of Buffalo. The City authorized the Town of Cheektowaga and Erie County to enter City property to extend the Scajaquada Creek drain from the City line to a point 200 feet east of the Cheektowaga toyvn line. Thus, water from the drain flowed into Delaware Park Lake. In return, Mr. Hoyt explained, the Town of Cheektowaga was supposed to place trash grids over the drain entrance to collect the trash and debris that floated downstream. “The Town never complied with this agreement.” he said. Once the tunnel was extended into Cheektowaga, the City could no longer control the debris, and the Town of Cheektowaga seemed “quite willing to allow the debris to float on downstream to the City.” According to a statement released by the Sierra Club, 24 of Buffalo’s sewage and storm pipelines empty into the •-drain. It also claimed a large sewer drain, designed to intercept debris and filter out pollution, is ineffective. Responsibility “I’ve seen everything that can float come through that drain,” Mr. Hoyt added. He said that none of the refuse would be able to enter the lake if the Town of Cheektowaga “acted responsibly” and erected the promised trash grids. “With nearly 20 million gallons of storm runoff and raw sewage geing deposited into the creek and lake each year,” Mr. Hoyt asserted, “the lake it too polluted for any recreational value.” The Sierra Club’s statement claimed that over the past several decades, more than a dozen reports have been compiled concerning the condition of the lake, costing the taxpayers of Buffalo and Erie County over three quarters of a million dollars in research. All of the studies returned results highly critical of the lake’s deterioration and offered various plans to help. The suggestions were never implemented, and Mr. Hoyt contended that “the reports are merely gathering dust on the shelves of government agencies.” Optimism shown Mr. Hoyt is optimistic that if the federal court hands down a favorable -verdict, “the lake will be reutnred to the point it once was for area residents to use for swimming, boating, and other recreational purposes.” The estimated cost of the suit is $14,000 which, according to the Assemblyman, will have to be raised publicly. He does not feel his suit will impose excessive financial demands on the governments and agencies involved, sincesfunds specifically appropriated by Congress for water pollution projects and impounded by former President Richard Nixon were recently .released. Also, New York States funds from the 1972 Environmental Bond Issue arestill available. Thesiegislator noted that Mayor Stanley Makowski has declared the restoration of Delaware Park Lake the City of Buffalo’s official Bicentennial project. NeuJ • • : ; : : difference!!!

Although she doesn’t consider herself a feminist or a women’s lib advocate, Ms. Fenderson was extremely pleased with her appointment and considers it an important breakthrough for the female custodial staff here. “Being the first, I know I’ll be a model, an example everyone is going to watch,” she said, “but I’m confident of my ability to do the work.” Ms. Fenderson said her job (which represents a pay increase of about $700 a year) entails more “leadership” than her former position. She was selected from a field of twelve men and six women; several of the women applied for the spot only after learning of Ms. Fenderson’s decision to do so. She feels the University’s failure to hire women for this position is not the result of discrimination, but is due to the lack of women applicants in the past. She believes her success will encourage more women to apply for higher positions. “The only thing is.

Commentar SASU —Affirmative Action The women’s basic political differences camy by Brian Land Staff Writer Spectrum Somehow, the words “heated CANTON dissension” and “strong arguments” that Special Features Editor Clem Colucci used to describe the chaotic mess of the Student Association of the State New University of York (SASU) weekend conference seem totally inadequate. SASU, in the — most halting and lame manner, struggled through an acrimonious seven-hour debate Sunday night over an Affirmative Action resolution from which all parties emerged as losers. Third World Caucus members were concerned with the need for more information about SASU’s internal workings because only three Third World voting delegates were present. However, Affirmative Action meant more than obtaining ten delegate seats or obtaining staff positions as a by-product. The ultimate aim of Caucus members was to build a viable minority student network throughout the state that would support each member school’s struggles. Implementation of the Affirmative Action guidelines and organizing against Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) cutbacks through political action were two key issues discussed. Subcommittee The lengthy debate produced a proposal for the creation of a Third World Caucus recognized by SASU. It would take the format of a subcommittee elected from representatives of all 28 SASU member schools that would have ten delegate votes, the Caucus chairman to serve on the Executive Committee. Additionally, the Caucus called for a freeze on hiring of SASU staff until two minorities are hired. Meanwhile, the Women’s Caucus had met to devise its plan, delaying a joint session with the Third World Caucus until early Saturday evening. The plan was as far-reaching as it was controversial, calling for every student association to produce a model Affirmative Action progr for women and minorities. Also included were strict guidelines for delegate election procedures, the creation of two Executive Committee Affirmative Action Officers and Affirmative Action guidelines for hiring of staff. The Women’s Caucus also sought ten delegate seats while supporting a similar request by the Third World Caucus. Question of strategy Although both sides had backed each other at the outset, a question of strategy arose. After Third World Caucus members made it clear that they were unwilling to settle for anything less than 100 percent capitulation by SASU, some women objected. Larry Williams of the State University at Buffalo’s Black Student Union felt that the all-white Women’s Caucus would desert minority students, as some women delegates did in the end. Other Third World Caucus members, apparently feeling the same way, left during the argument. out in a statement that they would speak only on minority proposals that they supported while remaining silent on any others. Finally, Keltic McCormick, joined by Lauren Stern of the Women’s Caucus, decided that “it’s time for white women to walk out on black men.” Unity Peace was restored during the late evening session through strong leadership. Mr. Williams pointed out that the delegates were aware of the dissension and warned against presenting two separate resolutions. Representatives of both caucuses sat down and worked out a joint resolution within an hour for which everyone agreed to struggle. And yet, almost from the second that delegate Chris Sprowal of Old Westbury introduced the resolution. Affirmative Action was doomed. The spirit behind the letter of Affirmative Action that “SASU opposes racism and sexism” was buried immediately beneath a hail of hypothetical questions, parliamentary procedure, “reverse racism” and amendments which the Caucuses were helpless to oppose. Robin Braunstein of Oswego, Ken Wax of Albany State, Bill Gorden of Binghamton and Phil Dorsey of Oswego played major roles in the obstruction, Mr. Dorsey began the series of debilitating and frustrating quorum counts which Ms. Braunstein continued with full force, exhausting the delegate assembly. Opposing amendments Several reactionary amendments directly reversing the Affirmative Action efforts were proposed by Albany State delegates, who sounded the cries of “qualified candidates” and “reverse racism.” Possibly the most destructive act was by SASU Legislative Director Ray Glass, who appeared during the debate with a “substitute resolution” which angered and hurt many members of the Affirmative Action team, myself included. We took his uncalled for papers and ripped them up in an angry outburst. We asked ourselves, what right did he have to do this without our knowledge or agreement as one who had not been a party to the discussions that produced “the Affirmative Action Committee. Lastly, we wondered, why did his document offer money and no mechanism for voting? Without gaining a voice, everything else would be worthless. To add greater insult, much of Mr, Glass’ document was approved, despite abstentions by Affirmative Action delegates. Only two other portions of the resolution were passed realtively unharmed, with little or no opposition. The real controversy lies ahead in the battle over 20 new Affirmative Action delegates. To expect justice under such conditions, I believe, is asking to superstition. Wednesday, 23 April 1975 . The Spectrum Page five . * �Innovative biological center wiH close for lack of funding The center for Theoretical Biology at the Ridge Lea campus will soon be closing, The Spectrum has learned. Support lines provided for the facility’s operation will be discontinued at the end of June, according to Frederick Rosen, the Center’s acting 1 � director. The Center, which Dr. Rosen called “the most prestigious scientific activity on this campus,” attracted a number of sizable research grants. He explained that the facility’s research deals with the connection of biological concepts to other disciplines. “It’s sort of neutral ground where members of different faculties can interact without departmental rivalries, in whatever areas they are interested in,” he explained. He contended that this research will be “of crucial interest in the near future,” citing projects investigating morphigenesis (how the human body and its limbs form from a symetrical, single cell) and how bacteria from outer space behave in the earth’s atmosphere. ' Future shock The founders of the Center, in 1968, realized the importance this research would have in the future, Dr. Rosen said. At that time, the University had just joined the SUNY system, and it was hoped that by the mid-1970’s it would be equal in prestige to any other in the United States. “Instant Berkley,” he said. Knowing that the State University at Buffalo would be in no position to compete in the “established areas,” interdisciplinary projects, such as the Center For Theoretical Biology, were begun. But from its inception, the Center suffered from “administrative instability” and lack of sufficient funds, Dr. Rosen said. “We had five or six deans in one year,” he exclaimed. “Also, those were the years of student unrest, which didn’t help our stability problems any.” By 1969-70, the Center began to attract research grants for long-term projects. “But we weren’t a department,” Dr. Rosen said. “Our personnel had to come through other departments, appointed by them, not us.” Continuity some “We needed some kind of continuity we knew would be around for people long-term projects. So, we asked the administration for a few faculty lines, to be able to make a few appointments on our own,” Dr. Rosen noted. 'He said this action “made the Center conspicuous by asking for something,” and thus, upset the Administration. However, Executive Vice President Albert Somit called it, “asking for support which could pot be provided.” “Dr. Danelli (the Center’s director) said if the Center would not be adequately supported, it should be closed down. So, we have no choice,” Dr. Somit concluded. Dr. Somit cited Dr. Danelli’s departure from the Center to accept the deanship of the Worchester Medical School as another reason for the Center’s closing. “It just wouldn’t be the same without him,” he lamented. However, according to Dr. Rosen and other spokespersons for the Center, if the Center wasn’t closing, Dr. Danelli would not be leaving. “The University is in a position to lose a great deal,” Dr. Rosen asserted. He pointed out that several internationally known journals in biological research have their offices at the Center, and the Center itself is internationally known, possibly the only one of its kind in the United States. “If an innovative program like ours is to survive it will require some innovativeness on the part of the Administration as well,” Dr; Rosen observed. — Tonight at 8:30 p.m. in the Century Theater, the UUAB Music Com'mittee very proudly presents the very Electric Hot Tuna.

Also playing will be an unnamed drummer to replace Sammy Piazza, who has not played with them since the release of Phosphorescent Rat in late 1973. Rumor has it that a rhythm guitarist has joined Tuna for this tour. If this is indeed a fact, it will provide an added dimension to the group’s sound, once again freeing Jorma to fly to the outer limits of his guitar’s fretboard.

Currently, 5 58 90 percent of the bottles used in New York are non-refillable. If the Cooperman Bill is enforced, the state’s annual consumption of beverage containers would drop from 5.5 billion to 1.6 billion. This would save glass, steel, and aluminum. Litter bits Nationwide, beverage containers account for seven percent of municipal wastes. HEP and NYRC reason that if consumers stand to lose money from discarding empty bottles, they will be more inclined to return them. Returnable containers generally decrease water pollution, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. A drop in the total number of containers would affect the employment of approximately 1200 workers. However, due to the “labor intensive nature” of refillable bottle operations, 5200 jobs would open up, according to the Senate Task Force report. A net increase of 4000 jobs would result. The Task Force also claims there would be little or no change in the cost ofbeer and soft drinks, and tax revenues from beverage sales would remain the same. Diminished cost of manufacturing bottles and cans would save state consumers at least $40 million annually. canners would close or suffer from severe cash flow problems. Energy savings would be equivalent to about five percent of the state’s total energy consumption, or about 20 trillion BTU’s (British Thermal Units). The Cooperman Bill is now being discussed in the Senate and voted on in the Assembly. HEP expects strong opposition, even though the Senate version is being sponsored by 11 people, including Senate Chairman Warren Anderson and the Assembly bill has 55 co-sponsors. The bills are also supported by NYPIRG and CAC. They urge supporters to send letters and telegrams to the legislature.

I destroyed monitor into people's lives. That's 1984 people's rights to privacy and free assembly." —FBI informant Mary Jo Cook in sworn testimony ... ... "The witness has come in and said nothing for two days." Cryan —Prosecutor Francis So Mr. Cryan was not very moved by Mary Jo Cook's testimony, under oath, that she gave the FBI extensive information about private communications between lawyers and clients, the Fair Jury protect, overall legal strategy and the internal workings of the Attica Brothers Legal Defense. One wonders these days if anyone who represents the State of New York is capable of being moved by anything especially a carefully-documented account of how the system they personify is again being abused. Perhaps the ease with which Mr. Cryan shrugs off such occurences is an indication of how invastion of privacy and other atrocities have become the norm, how they do not pervert the justice system but are consistent with everything it stands for. From the moment the uprising at Attica began right up to Mary Jo Cook's testimony in Court yesterday, the powers-that-be have been guilty of what psychologists have come to call selective perception, refusing to see anything they do not choose to see. Any event or piece of information that did not gel with their preconceived notions of law and order became the same "nothing” that Mr. Cryan has spoken of. So when the inmates stormed through Attica Prison and demanded to be treated with a little dignity, the question immediately asked by authorities was not "Why?" but "How dare they?" When the special Attica prosecutor heard evidence that state troopers and correction officers may have commited crimes during the retaking of Attica, he refused to allow witnesses to be called, and did not follow obvious leads because he was incapable of even speculating that his colleagues could do wrong. Finally, when William Kunstler and Ramsay Clark skillfully discredited the testimony of several prosecution witnesses, the jury was listening, but could not hear a word; voting for acquittal was out of the question for people *whose understanding could never transcend stereotypes about prison inmates and law and order. But Ms. Cook's admission that she sent as many as 40 reports about the Attica Defense to the FBI, coupled with the investigation that has arisen from charges that crimes by prison officials and correction officers were covered up, could reveal some indisputable facts, facts which cannot be distorted by social bias. To aid the investigation. Judge Joseph Mattina should immediately order the FBI to furnish the papers and notes that Ms. Cook gave them, as the defense has requested. If these latest attempts to find the truth fail, the possibility that there were other informants in the Attica defense must still be investigated, perhaps by some private organization that will not be bound by the constraints of perception that have allowed the Governor, Attorney General and other so-called agencies of the law to look the other way until pressed to find answers. — The Spectrum Wednesday, 23 April 1975 81 Vol. 25, No. Editor-in-Chief Larry Kraftowitz — Amy Ounkin Managing Editor Michael O'Neill Managing Editor Advertising Manager Gerry McKeen Business Manager Neil Collins - - — — City Composition .

Wednesday 23 April 1975 , Went to see “A Woman Under the Influence” last Saturday afternoon at the Kensington Theater. Now there is an incomparable way to spoil an afternoon. It is an awful movie, a terrible movie; an experience with my own anxieties that I would much rather have avoided, that is. I have mentioned before that I wince when someone does something embarrassing to themselves. I kept groaning at the way people were treating the woman who plays the lead whose natne I have managed to repress, she made me that uncomfortable. Peter Falk plays the woman’s husband in as explicit a performance of how to fuck up another human being by not noticing where either you, or they, are, as I ever care to see. Its a wonderful job of acting but .. . shudder. One way of talking about the whole thing that makes me more comfortable is to intellectualize it. Back before R.D. Laing went over to the radical left of what might generally be called psychology, he did a lot of work about what he called the schizogenic family. His basic idea was that the family structure generally had a great deal to do with how your particular mental quirks were formed and expressed. As an example he has a wonderful story about the young woman who thought she was a tennis ball. Not just any tennis ball, but one being used in the by Slwse mixed doubles final at center court Wimbleton. (If you Ipok this up and find out I am exaggerating, my apologies. 1 have this habit of trying to improve on everything!) Which seems clearly to be odd; a tennis ball, after all, is a bit much to expect us to accept. Until Laing discovers that the young lady in question lives with her mother and father; and her mother’s father, and her father’s mother. In addition, meals are* conducted in a fashion in which, for example, her mother will tell her to tell her father to pass the salt. The dutiful daughter says “Mother says to pass the salt.” Father says “tell your mother to get it herself,” and so on. Outside of this being one of the most clear possible demonstrations about why dutifulness should be abolished, it also shows that this lady perceiving herself as a tennis ball being shuttled back and forth is not so absurd. “A Woman Under the Influence” is about a lady who does not have it all together and is painfully aware of it. She would like nothing better than a little structure to hide from the world in. Her kids see her as “pretty and smart and nervous,” and she is. (The three kids are incredibly believable and fine). But what she gets from her husband is absolutely infuriating or terrifying. Depending on which way you swing. Repeatedly he yells at her. and then tells her he did nothing wrong, gets scared when she starts to act in anyway that does not fit within his limited framework, and tries to get the kids to fall into the same pattern. I am not sure out of what my anxiety tended to pour. I have this uncomfortable feeling that what I have always thought was taste specifically, for only being around people who were at least basically in touch with themselves, and fundamentally straight with themselves and with other people may not be a taste at all, but raw necessity. The discomfort has - The grump to do with what needing such straightness means about my ability to endure in a world where it is a luxury. To digress briefly, but pertinently, the two short films in the Conference Theatre last Thursday and Friday were both excellent. Antonia and I.F. Stone’s Weekly were similar in the respect of being documentaries about maverick individuals. She is a conductor who began in the 30’s and comes across as a wonderfully strong and vital person. He is an oddball reporter who had been blacklisted by the 1950’s for being a liberal and started his own small weekly in which he outlined with uncomfortable the unfortunate realities behind accuracy government. The pertinent part in his comment was that he generally concludes that all governments are run by liars, and that you are safer not believing anything they say. As a bried .example, to go with the brief digression, I was watching the news last weekend after Phnom Penh had fallen. The newscaster, as 1 recall it, read two items back to back that dealt with A) the bad feelings the U.S. Government had about the fall of Cambodia and the sorrow for her people the sorrow part may be wistful thinking but since it had happened we were B) diverting 100,000 tons of rice that had been on their way to Cambodia to feed people, to Vietnam to feed refugees. It is hoped that it arrives there in time, else we may have to dump it in the Pacific to make sure the red horde doesn’t eat any. The folks in Cambodia stopped needing to eat because the wrong side won? So here I sit perhaps needing some strange things such as honesty and straightness at least a moderate proportion of the time to keep my head more or less in line. Living in this culture at this time does not, in fact, seem to be the best place in history to expect to get such needs met. In A Woman Under the Infulence there is one scene between the woman, her husband, his mother, and the fanfily doctor, in which it becomes clear that everybody is crazy, that they are all behaving inappropriately, and that to single her out as being the only person with problems is ridiculous! Most of the time I manage to keep things in pretty decent control. Being compulsive does have its uses, it allows one to spend so much time ordering the world that one does not notice it (the world) ar\y more than necessary. By somehow examining the parts of my psyche that run on their own idiosyncratic logic I have learned when it is all right to risk being odd, or at least with whom one talks about what, and when it is not wise to voice certain views, political, moral, or more generally of reality. - - , - - - Laing talks at some point of his standards for getting people out of institutions. If they can learn what behaviors will get them back in, and not to do them, they are functioning well enough. Which seems emminently reasonable in a world that realistically is beyond, our individual control, and where coping is a demand, not a request. Now if we would just get the right group together to control everything... Happy spring. 1 hope it is a gloriously warm and springy day when this appears. Some realities without people are fine. Pax. �Containing nuclear waste To the Editor. The questions surrounding the Nuclear Power Industry are of much seriousness to many of us. Since nuclear scientists are split on answers to these questions, our role as citizens in these times is to view the industry as objectively and factually as possible. Spectrum The article entitled “Organizations Protest Nuclear Fission Activity at Fuel Plant" displayed the newsworthy effort to report on this crucial issue, but failed to be factual. It’s true that many citizens’ groups oppose use of nuclear power but the Atomic Energy Commission is not one of these groups. The AEC, now split into the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the National Resources Defense Council, is the federal mother of the nuclear industry. They are the last to oppose NFS The Getty-owned facility, which did indeed recycle uranium fuel rods for the 56 reactors around the country. This reprocessing is not the fission reaction that goes on at a nuclear — reactor. There are fears that radioactive materials, while being transported, will be subject to hijackings and/or accidents. This is a grounded, sensible not solely objection to the entire nuclear industry NFS. It is also true as cited that exposure to high - amounts of radiation can and will cause cancerous growths. High level exposure to radioactive materials should be avoided throughout the industry. If proper monitoring equipment and complete awareness of worker safety and habits is initiated, this will serve to reduce the chances of exposure. As long as recycling of fuel rods is generating plutonium and the rest of the nuclear fuel cycle is generating other toxic by-products, the true test of the industry’s value lies in the questions surrounding containment of these wastes. This is the major flaw in the industry. They have not yet shown us that they can inactivate or store effectively the wastes that they generate. Keith Parsky (NYPIRG) Not a NYPIRG report To the Editor: This is ig regard to The Spectrum article of Monday, April 14, 1975, (p.3); “Study Questions Site Selection for New Campus.” The study referred to in this article was a project undertaken by Ms. Lani Coelho and Ms. Mallory Perlbinder as an assignment in a Public Interest Research Course taught by Richard Sokolow and myself. The project was never approved by the NYPIRG State Board and is therefore not a NYPIRG report. While we support the right of these students to hold their opinion on the Amherst site selection, it is not the opinion of NYPIRG and should not be so construed. Kathleen A.

Prove it To the Editor In Monday’s The Spectrum , Dan Kohane, SASU President, said, “If we wanted to win a referendum on the Buffalo campus, we could.” I think he’s full To the Editor. Paul Kriebehl’s article, “Rebels Enter Phnom Penh,” contained several falsifications which should It’s common knowledge that the so-called PLA is simply a puppet of Hanoi. It’s role is the coercion and control of the populace of the South after the more militarily sophisticated NVA had captured the area. To the Editor To the members of the SA and the students of the University: Politics is a dirty game of unkept promises. WE, the students, placed our trust with representatives to the SA just as we placed our trust in senators and congressmen. Unfortunately, WE, who call for the restructure of the U.S. government fail to continue our pleas closer to home. Ask yourself Were you - really represented at the SA meeting when SI300 was allocated for the Albany rally? Would that same SA allot $1300 for buses if students wanted to go to Chicago to see the Sabres or perhaps, to attend a checkers match in East Jahungaland. Approximately two percent of the University demonstrated only six miles away at the trial. If there is such a lack of interest so close to home, why the hell are we allotting so much for so few? Before you Attica disciples call me an asshole, let me say that I don’t agree with the sociological elements that makes criminals out of people. But I do believe that, of one’s interest was intense enough, one would find a way to get there without wasting MY money. Students, we have been fucked again! him to get his ass down here to A rthur J. Lalonde Jr. A Student Lip service to propoganda be corrected. Wasting my money of shit. 1 challenge Buffalo and try it. It is surprising that anybody would pay lip service to the propoganda releases of the Giai Phong Press Agency, an organization famous for its expertise in the arts of prevarication and deceit. Will the Giai Phong release the accumulating reports by refugees of Communist butchery in “liberated” areas? Refugees weren’t forced to flee by ARVN troops, as Kriebehl believingly asserts. They fled because they well knew the terror that awaited them under the PRG. An example of this is the verified extermination of over 300 in Ban Me Thuit in the past week. Kriebehl is deluded into believing “gunners from the People’s Liberation Army” of the PRG are the ones who are besieging Saigon. First, I seriously doubt that any PLA soldier has the mental capability or mechanical skill to operate a piece of artillery. Secondly, it is a readily verifiable fact that the besieging force before Saigon is composed of ten North Vietnamese regular army divisions, there in violation of the farcial Paris Peace Agreement. I rest my case. T. Kailbourn Factual errors about nuclear energy To the Editor. In the article entitled “Organizations Protest Nuclear Fission Activity at Fuel Plant” that was in the April 21 edition, there were many errors concerning the issues surrounding Nuclear Fuel Services. The most important of the errors are the following: 1. There is no fission activity at toxicity of the plutonium should not be discounted. 3. NFS does not expose the tributaries of Lake Erie constantly. It is the potential danger that worries environmentalists. 4. The Atomic Energy Commission does not oppose the expansion of NFS. The AEC now the NRC, is the Federal Agency that will decide the future of the plant via the mechanism of public hearings. a nuclear reprocessing facility. 2. Plutonium may not be distributed as evenly as the article suggests. Thereby, the numbers of deaths resulting from exposure may be high but the Nuclear power is a controversial issue without the use of wrong information. NYPIRG wants to raise the issues; not to distort them. David Lennett Joe Bortz NYPIRG Wednesday, Project l975 ,The. 3pe.Qt?um .

The PSC has had its share of critics in the State Legislature. Sen. Joseph A. Tauriello (D., Buffalo) recently introduced a bill to abolish the PSC Commission and have the legislature to regulate utilities. Consumers Council of Western New York. He said recently that “the problem with the PSC is that it is now in violation of the law because Kahn was appointed to his position by Malcolm Wilson while he was still working as a consultant to AT&T.” Five commissioners The PSC is headed by five appointed commissioners and it employs 630 people, one-half of them in professional or technical positions.

The utility has refused to sell, however, causing Massena to condemn the facilities. The PSC will break the deadlock by what price the determining municipality must pay to acquire the facilities. Massena plan threatened The town has offered to buy the facilities for $2.8 million; the PSC weakness Dave Lennet, a New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) member and the Board of Directors of the Utility Consumers Council, said that “the only weakness with the PSC is the The commissioners.” five Commission is “growth-oriented: unless it’s a hot issue, they will side with the utility.” researcher The NYPIRG explained that there is no check on the Commission: “You can only go to court if you can prove the decision was arbitrary.” Mr. Lennet also pointed out that, “every time you see an electric rate hike, you know they’re building a plant.” He attributed the recent Niagara Mohawk rate increase to the construction of a new facility ih Oswego. Flat-rate threatened Mr. Levine is opposed to the it worth $8 million.

According to How to Challenge Your Gas or Electric Bill, a guide prepared by the New York Consumer Assembly and the New York Public Interest Research Group, Inc. (NYPIRG), “If you have reason to believe your utility bill may be in error, you are entitled by law to register a complaint with the company and to appeal it if necessary through the PSC.” The initial complaint to the utility company may be made in person, by phone, or in writing. The consumer should: always note the name and title of the company who representative complaint; be handles the prepared to provide the company with all essential information relevant to the complaint; keep a careful record of meetings or conversations with company agents, including date, time, the names of those present; and, when documents, keep copies for personal records. mailing Compain to PSC Upon receipt of the complaint, the utility will investigate the claim and issue a “determination” of its findings, a process that often takes several months.

Kahn has been the center of controversy since his appointment last year by then-Governor Malcolm Wilson. An economist who taught at Cornell University for 27 years and was dean of the College of Arts and Sciences there at the time of his nomination to the PSC, Mr. Kahn has been criticized for working as an advisor to AT&T, the parent company of New York Telephone. $51,150 annual salary Mr. Kahn, whose term expires in 1980, receives $51,150 a year plus $25 a day for time spent on official business. Like the chairman, all four are all appointees of past Republican administrations. , Mr. Kahn, a liberal Democrat, has a six-year term on the PSC but serves as chairman at the pleasure of the governor. Commissioner Alan J. Roth’s term expired last February 1, but he is expected to serve until replaced or reappointed. A resident of the Albany area, he is a career regulator, having worked as counsel to the Federal Power Commission for 12 years. He previously was an assistant to former Chairman Raymond Swidler. Mr. Roth and Harold A. Jerry, Jr. are the two PSC members most observers consider to be least sympathetic to the utilities. Mrs. Marr, a black lawyer from Brooklyn, joined the Commission in 1971. She previously served on the State Underground cables Mr. Jerry, whose term ends in 1979, served in the Human Rights Appeals Board and as a member of the U.S. delegation to the United Nations.

The other two members of the PSC are Edward P. Larkin and Carmel Carrington Marr. Mr. Larkin, a commissioner since 1961, is a Hempstead, Long Island resident and former State Legislator.

She explained, for example, that she would write a letter to Dalou when he was in jail and it would be answered by another defendant, John Mitchell. As she found herself becoming committed to the Attica cause, Ms. Cook said she began to pass the defense any information she received without revealing that she was an undercover agent. She said she became apprehensive of the FBI when she learned that another FBI agent had been sent from Albany to infiltrate the defense.

The protest was sponsored by the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) and the Safe Energy Coalition (SEC). The question at hand is whether the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), formerly the Atomic Energy Commission, will grant theplant, which is presently closed, a new operating license and permission to expand its facilities to almost three times their present size. The student group hiked three A miles from the highway to the plant and then lit candles to protest the possible dangers such a plant could pose to environmental health and safety. Marvin Resnikoff, a physicist affiliated with Rachel Carson College, warned that at its present size, the plant would create a sizable danger to the environment. Dr. Resnikoff has joined the Sierra Club in opposing the NRC’s granting of a new operating license to the plant as it is now. Attendance at the vigil was not as large as expected, but the coordinators asserted that poor weather conditions were a prime factor in inhibiting the turnout. However, those present believed that “progress, even in small amounts is still progress.” “This is a new issue,” said NYPIRG member Richard Sokolow. “All new causes start small. After all,” he added, “even Martin Luther King started Out walking alone.” iFULL TIMEm>4M SUMMER EMPLOYMENT $630.00 MONTHLY GUARANTEE PLUS $1,000 SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITY Lots of money — lots of hard work Join the exciting world of GROLIER and earn $2015.00 this summer 25 SUMMER JOBS AVAILABLE CALL: JAMES GADEK 881-6110, 9 am - 2 pm for interview appt THE WILLIAM H. FITZPATRICK CHAIR OF POLITICAL SCIENCE LECTURE SERIES / CANISIUS COLLEGE / PRESENTS BUFFALO, N.Y. GARRY Two approaches to Issues “Current in Nutrition” were presented before a small but interested audience in Norton Hall last Thursday afternoon. Harold Sigel, professor of Biology and Daniel Kossman from the Biochemistry Department offered their views on dietary requirements, balanced eating and inexpensive nutritional diets as part of the Food Week activities. Three motivations govern the way an individual food. Dr. Sigel said: nutritional need, esthetic value and spiritual or political belief. “The one {motivation] people paid least attention to is the nutritional one, one we should give more attention to,” he said. According to Dr. Sigel, the major concern is “how, to optimally construct our diets to buys maximize health and longevity.” In concise form. Dr. Sigel described eight major areas of nutritional requirement; specific dietary needs, such as water; minerals such as potassium, nitrogen and magnesium; calories for energy which come from carbohydrates, fats and proteins; nitrogen for protein and nucleic acids; specific amino acids which are essential and required in a certain form, such as lycine and tryptophan; vitamins, organic chemicals needed in small amounts which become part of body machinery, such as ascorbic acid and niacin; essential fatty acids, especially polyunsaturates, to supply calories and join body machinery; and fibers, undigestible materials such as cellulose which are essential to maintenance'of the gastrointestinal tract. According to Dr. Kossman, the major use of amino acids is for snythesis of body proteins. He strongly emphasized the need to get the required amount of essential ammo acids each day noting that insufficient quantifies would he excreted with wastes. Protein synthesis requires a certain level of essential amino acids before it can occur. Contrary to common belief, there is a “great deal we don't know about nutrition," Dr Sigel explained. He continued saying thiamine deficiency results in illness and death and that lack of ascorbic acid caused scurvy In addition, he maintained, there is evidence to suggest that ascorbic acid might slow down aging, but indicated that not much is understood about this nor either of the other processes. World food problem Dr Sigel described the problems as “low availability world’s major food of protein per capita inadequacies.” He discussed the caloric widespread deficiency of vitamin A, a substance readily available in beef, liver and green and dark yellow vegetables. The condition, he maintained, which is most common among children, could be remedied with “a nickel’s worth of vitamin A per month.” Inadequate amounts of iron in the diet is also on the rise in the world, including the United States. and world food problem is so acute because of the world depends upon grains. Dr. Sigel indicated that 80 percent of the total supply of calories comes from carbohydrates of which grains are the greatest contributor. It requires eight pounds of grain to get as much nutrients as supplied by a ■pound of beef. Furthermore, the amount of rice required to obtain the proper daily allowance of protein is too great for a child to consume. The most Nutrition for less The major theme of Dr. Kossman’s discussion was that adequate nutrition could be obtained for less cost but that having accurate nutrition information was prerequisite. Dr. Sigel agreed citing a study in his nutrition class last semester which demonstrated that a young adult could eat nutritiously for $12 per week. Dr. Kossman maintained that the single most important factor in eating well for less eas avoiding packaged and processed foods. “One of the best sources of protein is dairy products,” he asserted. He added there was “good biological value” in meat and meat by-products because amino acids in beef, milk and eggs closely resemble those in the human body. Trade-offs He also suggested several “trade-offs” in maintaining a good diet. Poor grade meats contain the same amount of protein as more expensive cuts, have less fat and cost less. For example, skloin steak is 20 percent protein, 30 percent fat and costs about $2 per pound whereas ground round hamburger is 20 percent protein, 18 percent fat and costs about $1 per pound Dr. Kossman said that aged cheeses are expensive and grade A eggs nutritionally equivalent to grade AA eggs. “Organ meat can’t be beat,” the biochemist punned. He cited beef liver as an example which is 28 percent protein, 10 percent fat, twice as high as beef in iron, 15 times greater in riboflavin and three times higher in vitamin A. Dr. Kossman added that kidneys, heart, pancreas, tongue and brains are also cheap posited and nutritional. He esthetic conditioning as the only obstacle. Frozen juices, dried fruit, beans and nuts are also nutritious and economical according to Dr. Kossman. Vegetables are a good source fof Tiber material and are often more nutritious raw. He strongly cautioned consumers to read labels to make sure they are getting a good buy while avoiding potentially deleterious derivatives. Commenting briefly on dieting, Dr. Kossman maintained the best diet is “one which gets into you every day the nutrients which are required without exceeding caloric in-take.” He concluded that the “secret” for fast loss is to get caloric intake below output. Dr. Sigel added that it was not necessary to alter the diet to lose weight, but that one should merely eat less.

The picnic, which was planned by the Ellicott tennis courts, was moved to the Fargo Cafeteria, where CFC members and their in various guests participated activities. Originally, each retarded young adult was assigned to a CFC why the College chose to make its annual outing a one-to-one day. “CFC strives to hit as many nerves as possible, which is why we create different programs for different needs. In reevaluation of our programs, 1 found that there was a lack of community involvement. We wanted to provide a program not offered elsewhere.” “There kids are mildly and moderately retarded, perfectly capable of sharing and enjoying social interraction to the fullest,” Ms. Eichel said. “Too many times if we take them out of the closet The parents were apparently quite, responsive to the idea. Besides giving their children an opportunity to associate with others their own age, the program gave the parents a chance to socialize with other parents. In setting up the program, Ms. Eichel contacted the Association for the Help of Retarded Children (AHRC), who referred her to the Heritage School in Tonawanda.

There are so few well-established facts about the skilled reader that it is difficult tojiidge the adequacy of over-all reading, Dr. McConkie went on. The skilled reader, he explained, is difficult to study because even he does not know what he is doing correct. Techniques should be devised so that researchers and instructors can substantiate facts in order to build theories, Dr. McConkie stressed. Shakey stand Before explaining his Next own new methods for understanding the problems of remedial readers, Dr. McConkie warned that his findings constitute a premise rather than a breakthrough. “1 won’t stand hard and fast behind my theories,” he said. Before helping the unskilled reader, the Cornell professor insisted, one must understand the skilled reader at the simplest level. “My theory holds that you must . . . specify the nature of the text and how it is expressed, Dr. McConkie maintained. He said you must also specify the mental processes and linguistics, and be able to better Understand the memory representation that results from reading and the processes by which one retrieves this information. Finally, one must be able to discern the relationships between certain words, Dr, McConkie claimed. Dr. McConkie discussed the distinctions between different words in a sence. Different focuses Dr. McConkie explained that although a sentence structure may be transposed, it will not change its meaning because “the initial part of the sentence sets the topic, the reader’s eyes focus upon the first words of a sentence, and these same words set the stage for the rest of the sentence. Thus, the reader may focus his attention upon fall Comp course for pre-laws offered A new composition course tailored to fit the needs of pre-law students will be offered by the English Department this fall. English 211Z will stress analytic reading and legal writing, but will not only be a composition course. Course instructor John Stuart plans to conduct his class as a seminar for serious upperclass students interested in the study of law. Mr. Stuart, a graduate student in English and a third year law student, hopes that student initiative and individual projects will influence the class’s direction. different aspects in the text.” Dr. McConkie claimed the reader does not retain the surface order of a sentence, but rather, forms his own relationship of words. The reader then recalls and writes down his own “memory passage.” The professor also asserted that outside of the structure, the contents of a sentence or passage can also affect reading ability. Monitoring the eye Using a cathode-ray tube connected to a computer, Dr. McConkie monitored the reader’s eye movements and determined when they became affixed to a certain point or word in the sentence. As a result, researchers have learned that the skilled Budget. —continued on .

Finally, Dr. McConkie stressed the importance of simple word order and the cognitive-processing load. “Depending on the word order, very little meaning "processing can be transmitted,” he said. “Research techniques can explore and diagnose what a person does when he reads. Right now we are simply pioneers in the field, but rapid progress will be seen,” Dr. McConkie promised. Dr. McConkie has written articles on his for both the Journal findings of Experimental Psychology and the Journal of Reading Behavior. implementing these cuts, and a preliminary listing of request for the supplemental budget. Dt. Ketter has not responded directly to the letter, but did discuss input at a meeting with students last week. A final of the State University 1975-76 Supplemental Budget has already been forwarded from Dr. Boyer to the Board of Trustees.

A REligious STudies Program and a new Empire State Youth Theatre Institute are being funded for the first time. An examination of legal systems, visits to the University’s Law School and local courts, and occasional speakers will highlight the course. Proper use of language is essential to a solid preparation for the study of law, Mr. Stuart noted, but emphasized that English 21 1Z is not a cram course for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). The course will entail “a lot of work,” he said, and students will be encouraged to personally investigate a'particular area of law.

Unciae is the base foi both the words inch and ounce. Yard is traced to the Saxon Kings, who wore a sash or gird around the waist which could be used as a measuring device. Tradition says that King Henry I decreed that the yard be equal to the distance from the tip of his nose to his thumb. The furlong (furrow-long) was set by early Turdor kings at 220 yard. Queen Elizabeth I decreed that the mile be set at 5280 feet (equal to 8 furlongs), instead of the traditional 5000 feet, to bring these two units into some relationship. Governed by royal decree, England set up a system that was more uniform and suitable for commerce than the continental systems, arid brought this system to all of its colonies. However, in America, both the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution gave the Congress the right to regulate standards of weights and measures. Minute of arc The idea of a metric system was first proposed in 1670 by Gabriel Mouton, Vicar of Lyon, based on a measure of length equal to the length of one minute of the arc of the circumference of the earth. In 1671, French astronomer Jean Picard proposed the length of a pendulum’s beating seconds as a unit of length, because this is a standard which could easily be reproduced. During the French Revolution in 1790, the National Assembly asked the French Academy of Sciences to “deduce an invariable system for all the weights and all the measures.” The Academy’s recommendations were simple, yet integrally related to one another. They became the basis for the metric system. The unit of length (meter) was a portion of the earth’s diameter. Measures of volume were based on the litre, or the capacity of a cube measuring one-tenth of one meter (1 decimetre) on each side. Mass was determined by the mass of 1 cubic centimetre (one one-hundredth) of one meter of water at maximum density. The metrics system was not made compulsory in France until 1840, and most of continental Europe did not follow suit until' 1900.

Everything was on the up and up. Starting promptjy at 4 p.m. Ketterpillar officials accepted reservations for today in the prescribed manner: one from the people that had formed a line there, followed by one from the phone, and so on. At one point, the phone stopped ringing and they took two in a row from the line. By 4:05 p.m., the line was gone and the phone had stopped ringing with three slots remaining. Within twenty minutes, they were filled by phone reservations. Sailes suspected that the slowness in filling the slots was due to the fact that people have started playing outdoors. The night lighting is now working on the outdoor courts at Ellicott and people can play there until 11 p.m. It had been charged that some people with the 4 p.m. playing times had been continually reserving the court for the same time slot on the next playing day. Delia announced that he would ask Bill Monkarsh to prohibit people from doing this and thereby monopolizing that time slot.

Part One deals with men's athletics, and Part Two will deal with women’s sports. Years ago, there was no such person as a single-sport specialist. Your topscollegiate athletes would usually competes year ’round, from football to basketball to baseball, or something likes that. In recent years, however, this trend has died out, with even the two-sport participant a rarity. On the Buffalo campus, however, there are ten student athletes who are spending less time as students and more time as athletes. They change hats during the year, often combining two major spaorts, occupying themselves throughout the entire school year. With the cooperation of Bill Monkarsh, baseball coach, and Ed Wright, hockey coach, Buffalo has four players sharing ice time and diamond duty. Heading the iist are two of Wright’s Canadian recruits, Rick Wolstenholmes and Mike Klym, who cames for hockey, but wounds ups on the baseball field as well.

Coming., in on a realtively new program, Young set scoring-records that may not be broken for a while with his heads-up play around the goal. Jim distinguished himself on the soccer field, capturing offensive MVP. honors at the SUNY Center championships last fall, but it was on the mats that he really made a name for himself. Young won 40 of his 42 collegiate management major. The other two baseball-hockey players, Jack Kaminska and.Mike Dixon, were recruited in joint efforts by Monkarsh and Wright. “I came heresfor both,” remarked for Kaminska. “I’m an I’m but also sports, gettings School work suffers Kaminska, out of it.” a education but “Hockey’s myjmain sport, it seems I do better in baseball,” graduatesofiCanisius High School, reports Wolstenholme, who is a physical education major. wound ups secondj in hockey Amongs the., other two-sport scoring, and leads thed baseball standouts ares wrestlers Wally team in hittingswith a robust .407.

Campus Editor The Student Association of the State University (SASU) and the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYP1RG) appear to be feuding over whether prospective NYPIRG branches should be funded according to the results of student referenda. NYPIRG members believe that fiscal referenda which would determine whether students are willing to increase their mandatory activity fee to support a NYPIRG office are the most democratically sound method of assessing student priorities. But some student government leaders, who in many cases also represent SASU on their campuses, insist it is unfair to hold a fiscal referendum solely to determine if students want to fund NYPIRG, or any other new group. They feel NYPIRG should submit a budget to the local student government, like any other club which seeks funding, and be budgeted out of the existing mandatory fee. Still others favor a check-off system for funding new NYPIRG branches. A - - Intensity reached The NYPIRG controversy reached its greatest intensity at the State University at Binghamton campus last week when a large turnout of student voters rejected by 99 votes a referendum proposal to fund a campus PIRG. “I haven’t seen the campus this pitched in years,” said SASU member and Binghamton student government President Bill Gordon. Mr. Gordon said that in spite of the vote, the overwhelming feeling at Binhamton was in favor of funding NYPIRG, possibly through some sort of check-off. But “making a decision is difficult because people are very upset,” he added. Following a hotly contested debate, the Student Assembly here last week voted down a constitutional amendment proposed by former NYPIRG director Richard Sokolow to make financial referenda binding on the Student Association (SA). During argument on that vote, NYPIRG, rather than the specific constitutional amendment seemed to be the subject of debate. Mr. Sokolow said Friday that fiscal referenda are the most “democratic” way to fund campus organizations because they provide another check against what could become elitism and power hoarding in student government. Not rational But Mr. Gordon, who opposes funding by referenda, said that at Binghamton, “with a $400 thousand budget, you cannot rationally fund by referendum.” The SA budget here usually exceeds $800,000. “I don’t like referendum funding because individual groups shouldn’t come up for referendum you can’t look at the whole picture,” commented SASU member Kelly McCormick. SASU assesses a 60 cent fee for each full time equivalent student at the individual SUNY campus. SASU President Dan Kohane predicted that the fee would be upped to 85 cents next year. The SASU budget requests are submitted to the individual student governments for approval. Mr. Kohane contrasted the way SASU applies for funds with the fiscal referenda favored by NYPIRG. “It’s different giving someone $4 out of an activity fee,” he said. For example, “if we wanted to win a referendum on the Buffalo campus,” Mr. Kohane continued, “we could. But we have more important things to do.” —continued on pege 8— — David Brinkley analyzes U.S. at home and abroad cover themselves.” Jody Gerard Spectrum Staff Writer With a touch of cynicism in his voice, Mr. Brinkley said many presidential hopefuls favor sending military aid so they will be able to say in 1976, “Don’t blame me because back in 1975 I voted to send more aid .” Millions of Americans feel that they are “passengers on a ship,” Washington journalist David Brinkely told a less-than-capacity crowd at Clark Hall Friday night. They own the ship and hire and pay the crew, but they are never asked where they want the ship to go. “They are simply pulled along for the ride,” but continue to receive higher and higher bids, Mr. Brinkley asserted. After a few moments of anecdotal informality, the grey-haired, dark-suited newsman began addressing the audience on “several of our current public questions,” from South Vietnam to welfare and the economy to national politics, in the famed, deliberate Brinkley style. Referring to the fate of South Vietnam, Mr. Brinkley said, “No one in Washington as far as I know has any hope that it will survive.” The reason for its anticipated downfall, he speculated, is the country’s lack of “the kind of political or social structure that brings people to make personal sacrifices for anything beyond their own immediate and personal Cover themselves There are two other rationales for voting aid to South Vietnam, he continued. “It would allow incumbent Congressmen to cover their backsides,” and allow Americans who are still in the country to leave peacefully. The South Vietnam government, he explained, would be “more likely to let the Americans leave peacefully if, instead of having them fight their way out, Washington promises to carry on with the aid.” During the next few days, Washington and Congress will be involved in a “charade,” Mr. Brinkley said. Congress will “be covering itself by voting money interests. Corruption “It is not a coherent country with some simple idea around which people can rally, so they don’t rally,” Mr. Brinkley explained. As a country, South Vietnam is neither communist, fascist, democratic nor “regally aristocratic. Politically and structurally, it is nothing. People will not fight for nothing,” he declared. Dauid Brinkley Although the South V ietnamese government is corrupt from top to bottom, and its soldiers “quit two or three weeks ago, turn and ran,” leaving billions of dollars of military equipment in the field, Mr. Brinkley said the Ford Administration will continue to blame its downfall on the cutoff of American military aid. ‘‘According to the best information that we have,” Mr. Brinkley said, the majority of Americans “see Vietnam as a hopelessly lost cause, and are opposed to sending any more military aid in the form of either weapons or money.” However, he said there is “a good chance” that Congress will vote for more military aid anyway. “Why?” Mr. Brinkley asked. “To ~ that may never be spent, because there may be no war left to spend it on.” Such action by Congressmen would “give them the basis for saying that they did all they could,” Mr. Brinkley explained. The loss of South Vietnam to the North, he concluded, would be “a tragic ending to a tragic episode in American history the most destructive, damaging, and should improve sometime in the late summer, he predicted. Depression “But the economic data indicates that “the federal government policies that helped get us into this economic mess” will continue, Mr. Brinkley emphasized. This could conceivably “bring back the 12 percent inflation we had last year, or worse, be followed by another recession, or depression.’ The result of these economic policies, Mr. Brinkley stressed, will be inflation, “the crudest and most regressive tax of all.” Mr. Brinkley traced the roots of inflation to the beginning of the Johnson Administration’s involvement in the Vietnam war, when we were “trying to fight a war on credit and lying about it.” Another cause of inflation, he contended, is the unequal distribution of income between generation of trying to transfer money from the rich to the poor “has not worked,” he said. rich and poor. A What has instead resulted is “a re-distribution of power from the individual to Washington,’' Mr. Brinkley declared. The problem of re-distribution is that Washington only transfers part of it,” a major part they just keep .” — wrong-headed experience since the Civil War.” Moving to the economy, Mr. Brinkley said “the conventional wisdom of the moment is that it will improve this year.” The rates of inflation and unemployment Overhead For example, in the largest of the “so-called welfare programs,” only 50 percent of the money goes to the poor. “Only 50 percent.” Mr. Brinkley emphasized. “The goes for overhead, rest —continued on page 10— ' �Nations in need Students look at world hunger in observance of Food Week nter still open Amnesty plan ‘unfair’ says draft counsellor , by Andrew Sacks Spectrum Staff Writer Despite an amnesty program that many claim is not working and unfair, the Military and Draft Counseling Center is continuing to help people with selective service or military problems, according to counselor George Iggers, a history professor at the University. The center, established in 1967 to advise civilians about selective service, has also dealt extensively with those already in the military since 1971. Once a week, the counselors hold “emergency sessions” at the Buffalo Friends Meeting Hall on North Parade St. often with AWOL (absent without official leave) soldiers dodging the FBI and wondering where they should turn themselves in. However, most of the business operates through a 24-hour answering service (phone 897-2871). Mr. Iggers estimates that the center handled 100 new cases a week during the Vietnam war years and currently handles five or six, dealing primarily with AWOL soldiers, hardship cases, or evaders trying to return from Canada. Although Dr. Iggers says most military cases handled by the center have ended in an honorable discharge, and many civilian cases end in selective service charges The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer by The Spectrum Student Periodical Inc.

Subscription by mail: $10.00 per year. Circulation average: 14,000 being dropped, the center has yet to find anyone who has taken advantage of President Ford’s “Earned Re-entry” program. Ford program unfair “It doesn’t work, and I don’t think it’s fair,” Dr. Iggers said. “It treats anyone who takes advantage of it as a criminal.” Dr. Iggers added that to benefit from the program, a person has to either plead guilty to civil service violations, or accept a “less than honorable discharge” from the military. For civilians, the service is often able to get government charges dropped via technicalities such as arrest irregularities. This eliminates alternate required program. Often, the need for the service normally under the amnesty the service works in conjunction with psychiatrists or social workers, in an attempt to show that emotional problems or other “hardships” would result from military service. Dr. Iggers cited' the cSse of a West Seneca soldier who received his honorable discharge after a psychiatrist attested that the man's upcoming transfer to Germany would cause emotional hardships on his wife and family. Dr. Iggers said a chief problem of the service has been publicity. Dr. Iggers feels that contact has been made with inner city and lower income individuals, those who need it most, only recently. Despite posters, TV spots and word of mouth, the center only reaches a “small number of the people it should reach.” The counseling service is free of charge and there are three non-paid counselors; Dr. Iggers, Mat Goldman and Dan Amigone. The service, which operates on a budget of SI00 a month, is financed totally by contributions. SYSTEMS PROGRAMMER As part of the University’s observance of Food Week, students from several of the Third World nations hit by famine and poverty gathered in Norton Hall Wednesday night to discuss the causes and possible solutions of their countries’ problems, The discussion entitled “Another Perspective on World Hunger,” was organized and sponsored by the New York Public Interest Research Group underdeveloped nations must be modernized in order to increase productivity. The governments of the two nations have begun redistributing land in an effort to provide everyone with the opportunity to raise enough food for their families. But because the Indian government has been leaning toward socialism and away from (NYPIRG). Roman Habtu, a student from Ethiopia, spoke about the causes of the devastating famine that killed thousands in her country last year, charging that the Ethiopian government’s negligence was responsible for the magnitude of the famine. “The government took no effective measures,” she said. “It sought, above all else, to hide the famine from the rest of the world, because it did not want to be em harassed ” The famine hit during Ethiopia’s tenth anniversary celebration, and the government took pains to preserve its image for the sake of the foreign visitors in the country. As an example, Ms. Habtu cited the government’s expenditure jof $10,000 for the beautification of the capital city to preserve “the myth of beauty, grace and prosperity that surrounds Addis Abbaba.” Furthermore, she added, the government continued to export tons of grain instead of keeping it within the country, in order to hide the famine from the rest of the world. “The government strove to retain Ethiopia’s image as ‘the breadbasket of Africa’,” she said. The famine, which has spread into bordering nations, is no longer as severe in Ethiopia. The impact it had on the people is the direct result of the government’s lack of action until it was too late, according to Ms. Habtu. When humanitarian relief projects were initiated by overseas agencies, the government was neither cooperative nor appreciative, she added. “The rest of the world found out about the devastation gradually, through visitors returning from the country, and the outcry of Ethiopian student groups.” Core problems Chandran Santinam, a student from India, cited overpopulation as the major source of his nation’s employment and food distribution problems. He agreed with a Pakistani student participating in the discussion that the small-farming methods in the —Forrest Chandran Santinam profit-seeking, they do not encourage farmers to raise more than they need, according to Mr. Santinam The Pakistani student said that small farmers must be encouraged to upgrade their conditions. “A person who has never known electricity doesn’t know what they are missing, and doesn’t know enough to try and obtain it,” he said. All agreed that the first step in improving the lot of Third World nations is education. This would help break down the religious and cultural barriers against birth control, provide the incentive, needed to imp/ove farm productivity and give them the expertise to improve their standards of living.

Meyer, a former State Supreme Court Justice in Nassau County, was named last week to head an independent inquiry into charges that Chief Attica prosecutor Anthony G. Simonetti covered up crimes committed by law officers during the September, 1971 Attica uprising. The appointment of Mr. Meyer, a 58-year-old Democrat now, practicing in Mineola, Long Island, was announced Thursday by Governor Carey and Attorney General Louis J. Lefkowitz. Mr. Meyer will “evaluate the conduct” of the State’s three-year investigation and the subsequent prosecution of crimes arising from the prison revolt. While 62 inmates have been named in 42 separate indictments, no state troopers or correction officers have been charged with criminal offense. Thirty-nine persons died from police gunfire during the storming of the prison. “Judge Meyer has earned the highest respect of his colleagues in his service as a lawyer and a judge,” Mr. Carey and Mr. Lefkowitz said in a joint statement following the appointment. “He has impeccable integrity.” Cover-up? The cover-up charge against Mr. Simonetti was made by Malcolm H. Bell, a former chief assistant to the chief prosecutor who conducted most of the grand jury hearings on possible crimes committed by state troopers and corrections officers. Mr. Simonetti has categorically denied the charge. Mr. Meyer’s appointment has met with mixed reaction. While his selection was strongly praised by proponents of the independent inquiry, including Mr. Bell’s attorney, Robert P. Patterson, some lawyers have expressed concern over Mr. Meyers’ “toughness” and lack of experience in criminal matters. Mr. Meyer has never tried or presided over a criminal case, according to a law partner, John F. English. In response, Mr. Meyer said in an interview that his inexperience in criminal cases would be easily overcome. “The assignment is really a question of evaluating evidence and witnesses, as in all adversary proceedings, and that’s what 1 did during my 14 years on the bench.” Honorable reputation Mr. Patterson called Mr. Meyer “an honorable fellow, a fine man, a person of integrity and a first-rate lawyer by all accounts.” Cyrus Vance, president of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, described Mr. Meyer “an excellent high quality man and of great ability.” Mr. Meyer will have the power to examine secret grand jury minutes, subpoena witnesses and documents, and take sworn testimony. He has been promised whatever staff assistance he needs and will be paid $150 per hour, or up to $35,000. Mr. Meyer said that the hourly rate is “less than he normally received as an attorney.” According to Robert Laird, the Governor’s spokesman, Mr. Meyer is free to study any aspect of the Attica investigation, even if it goes beyond Mr. Bell’s original charge and Mr. Simonetti’s denial. Mr. Meyer stressed that his final report would be made public, eventually. THE WILLIAM H.

Story of Lev Unspoken word still unspoke Michael Stephen Levinson, son of Mary, mother of Lev, and the master of the unspoken word because it hasn’t been spoke yet, spoke very briefly in Clark Hall Friday night before a crowd of 1,000 that dwindled to about 20 within seconds after Mr. Levinson began reciting his cosmic, dawn-to-dusk poem Deuteronomy. Mr. Levinson’s appearance had been endorsed by the Student Assembly last Wednesday. Originally, he was scheduled to speak 45-minutes before keynote speaker David Brinkley, the •newsman who brought Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony into the homes of millions of American viewers every evening at 7 p.m. Last-minute alterations, however, forced the postponement of Mr. Levinson’s recital of the prophetic poem Adman and Even a work he composed four years ago when “In Rathskellar did My kull Lee(v), a stately pleasure pome dee cree.” In an exclusive interview with The Spectrum, minutes after his speech was cut short when Clark Hall maintenance began dissembling the speaker’s podium and the sound system, Mr. Levinson accused certain student government types of conspiring to prevent his five-point plan for world peace from reaching the “stew dent’’ body. ' ‘Arf, arf,’ said Tanya Mr. Levinson arrived at the gym with his dog, Tanya, at 8:15 p.m. Although he was one of the scheduled speakers, he was told by a security guard that he could not enter without a ticket. Tanya was told she could not enter at all, Leash law in to which she reportedly replied, “Arf Arf.” Mr. Levinson said he secured a ticket after reluctantly locking Tanya in the back seat of his car. Just two minutes after taking a seat in the back of the gym, the cosmic wrapper rose to his feet x, grabbed the nearest microphone, and asked Mr. Brinkley if he remembered him from the 1972 Democratic National Convention. “How are you Michael,” Mr. Brinkley replied. “Do you remember when Walter Cronkite introduced us on the floor of the convention and I handed you a copy of the Book of Lev.” “Huh.” could give him a copy of his mother’s 1972 presidential campaign literature, his ill-fated magazine Cosmos which contains the Millenium (Lev-David) television report, and a “handlettered letter” to President Ford. Before he was hustled off by the speaker’s escort, Mr. Levinson did manage to hand Mr. Brinkley a copy of the Book of Lev. Shortly afterward, over beer and pretzels in the Rat, Mr. Levinson, visibly upset by what he termed “a screwing,” charged that “the University’s suppression of the voice of Lev continues.” Summoning Tanya, who was Discussing the exchange with Mr. Brinkley later, Mr. Levinson said this last remark “gave me the impresssion that he wanted to hang out and hear my rap.” But when the question and answer period ended.

Page three . �Living things endangered Organizations protest nuclear fission activity at fuel plant The Safe Energy Coalition, Sierra Club, Atomic Energy Commission and several other organizations have begun organizing mass demonstrations to protest nuclear fission activity at the Nuclear Fuel Services (NFS) plant in West Valley, 50 miles southeast of Buffalo. The fission process, conducted exclusively at the West Valley plant, separates reusable nuclear fuel elements (uranium and plutonium) from nuclear waste. Uranium, plutonium and nuclear wastes are all highly toxic and radioactive. The process poses four major dangers to living things. First, the exposure of plant workers to high amounts of radiation can result in slow death by cancer. Second, there is a danger that the recyclable uranium and plutonium could be exposed.to the air while being transported to other nuclear fuel reprocessing plants. The plutonium is scheduled to be transported to John F. Kennedy International Airport in a powdered form, where it will be flown to West Germany for reprocessing. If the powder seeps into the air, as little as 2.5 kilograms (enough to fill the palm of your hand) could develop lung cancer in as many as up to 5 million people. Fifteen thousand truckloads of powdered plutonium is transported every year. Environmental groups are trying to curtail these dangerous shipments because they fear possible hijackings or sabotage.. Third, the waste materials of the fission process must be water-cooled before disposal. By using local streams to cool the toxic wastes, NFS exposes the tributaries: of Lake Erie and Ontario to radioactive contamination, a pollution that will render these waters unsafe for up to 15 years. Fourth, after these nuclear wastes are cooled, the only practiced method of disposal is storage. NFS now stores their wastes in liquid form at the West Valley plant, where they will remain radioactive for tens of thousands of years. The tanks in which they are held are expected to leak after a period of 40-50 years! As little as one percent of the wastes could contaminate all of Western New York’s water supply. The NFS plant is closed at the moment, preparing to expand and increase its efficiency. The Safe Energy Coalition sponsored a protest vigil this past weekend against the reopening of the plant, and the continuation of its dangerous activity.

To deal with plants that threaten to close, Norma Spector, a community organizer from New York, suggested that the coalition push for a bill that would “provide for public takeovers,” and keep them operating. In addition, Mr. Von Luther said the coalition seeks special measures to protect the rights of minority workeis and women, who are the “first fired” in a serious economic recession “The Environmental Crisis” a The coalition sponsored a Legislative Conference on the Economic Crisis last month at Georgetown University, and plans to formulate legislation which would forbid layoffs, plant closings and relocations, and prohibit tenant evictions, □ United action Jacob Clayman, secret ary-treasurer of the six million member Industrial Union Department of the AFL-CIO said his organization’s members would press for “a tax cut, release of impounded funds, public service jobs, extended unemployment benefits” and other economic relief measures. The Industrial Union Department is comprised of the largest and most powerful industrial unions, including the 945,000 member Steelworkers, the 779,000 member International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and the 69 8,000 member International Association of Machinists. Many of these unionists have suffered prolonged unemployment. The powerful United Auto Workers (UAW) and Teamsters unions are not members of the AFL-CIO, though the UAW held a similar protest last February 5, when 10,000 auto workers rallied for jobs in the nation’s capital. George Meany, AFL-CIO president, appears to have isolated himself from the union members by opposing the rally. Unemployment rises In January of this year, 7.5 million American workers were unemployed, according to the government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, and unemployment reached the highest rate since the last years of the depression in 1941. Reported at 8.2 percent nationally, unemployment among black teenagers was officially reported at 41.1 percent and for all black workers at 13.4 percent. Industrial workers bore the brunt of recent layoffs adding some 1.7 million to the ranks of the unemployed between September of 1974 and January 1975. Unemployment rates are higher today, and observers have pointed out that the statistics do not count the unemployed who have given up seeking work.

The Senate's Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees have categorically rejected Mr. Ford's request for military aid. At the same time, public opinion polls show that Americans are overwhelmingly opposed to further assistance. With the insurgent government in Cambodia now firmly and the fall of Saigon imminent, there is control, in something very smug about Mr. Ford going before the nation and making vague references to a "Saigon Defense Plan," "Stabilization of the military situation" and a "political solution," especially when he should be devoting all his energies toward sending humanitarian aid to the Vietnamese. Except for Mr. Ford, Henry Kissinger, and a scattered few who refuse to believe this country is capable of losing any cause, most people will no longer subscribe to the icy abstractions like "moral committment" and "dominoe theory." After watching death and destruction for 10 years, they now realize there is an intrinsic insanity to sending aid that will only make it possible for the warring Vietnamese to keep killing each other. Emergency relief operations, similar to the ones this country initiated after the last two world wars, should be immediately begun. The misdirected symbolic babylift which only perpetuates the assumption that our's is the best way of life should be abandoned in favor of programs that rebuild Vietnam any Vietnam. help the Vietnamese will And before Mr. Ford goes on nationwide t.v. again, he should swalloft his pride, as many in Congress have already done, and be prepared to admit the underlying fallacies and cynical brutality of our Vietnam policy, instead of clinging to policies where saving lives becomes less important than saving face. — — — Squeamish of pot The reluctance of many legislators to firmly support the decriminalization of possession of small amounts of marijuana is unfortunate but not at all surprising. In 1973, the legislature demonstrated its understanding of the drug problem by passing a law that has made the small-time heroin user subject to the same mandatory life sentence as a large-scale narcotics racketeer. In many ways, the squeamishness of many legislators, and adults in general, towards pot stems from the same lack of social awareness that enabled them to support New York's "throw-them-in-jail" drug law. Instead of cringing at what has become a popular social custom, and is probably less harmful than alcoholic beverages, legislators would be better off devoting their energies to stopping the flow of hard drug trafficking and investigating the harmful effects of legal drugs that are now being sold to consumers every day. Their refusal to see through stereotypes about drugs will only perpetuate ignorance and prevent the resources of government from being used for preventive rather than punitive measures.

Editorial Policy is determined by the Editor-in-Chief Page six The Spectrum Monday, 21 April 1975 . . by Clem Colucci Note: I’m uneasy about this column because of the distinct possibility that South Vietnam won’t last the weekend, thus dating the subject. In that event, I told you so. It all started when I went to discuss the Indochina situation with my Congressman, T. Caleb McGonicle. Congressman McGonicle, Chairman of the House Subcommittee on War Refugees and Postal Operations, surprised me with the announcement that he had introduced a bill to provide one billion dollars in military aid to North Vietnam. “North Vietnam, Congressman?” “That’s right. North Vietnam.” “Why?” “All the best reasons in the world. Just look at it logically. First, from a military standpoint. They’re going to get the stuff anyway, aren’t they?” “I can’t deny that. Congressman.” “So there's no point throwing it away on the South, is there?” “I guess not." 2 “And there's another good military reason for it. Giving the North Vietnamese military aid will help us evacuate Americans and South Vietnamese." “I don’t understand." “Wei!, look, if you’re a South Vietnamese and the enemy is marching info Saigon, how do you score brownie points with the conquerors?” “You off General Thieu or some Americans.” “Precisely. And if we arm the North Vietnamese, they can protect us as we withdraw.” “I get it. Then we won't have to send in troops to help with the evacuation either.” “You catch on quick, son. I’m proud to have such a bright constituent.” “Thank you. Congressman.” “There’s even more. Look at the diplomacy, for once, we back a winner and when did we last do that?” “Too long.” “Right. And this can be foot in the door to start a massive program of humanitarian aid and foreign investment. It’ll give us all sorts of leverage in Southeast Asia, more than we’ve had in years.” “Brilliant.” “Thank you. But the economic benefits make this bill even more attractive. We can’t very well give arms to a country we’ve been bombing for years, can we?’’ “No.” “Then we’d have to sell them and that would do wonders for our balance of payments deficit.” “Would you have any trouble getting the bill passed?” “I don’t see why not. We’ve supplied both sides of a war before, haven’t we? Just look at the Middle East.” “There’s no arguing that, Congressman.” “The benefits to the arms industry are obvious.” “Obvious.” “And think of the effect on our free enterprise system.” “I don’t understand.” “Just recall how our arms industry and good old American know-how have suffered through the Vietnam War. Defense industries just can’t make fighters that fly anymore. The C-5A loses wheels, engines and other vital parts in the air. Remember how GI’s would complain about the M-16 jamming up?” “Vdkh-, you could make a fortune black-marketing Vietcong AK-47s to American soldiers.” “But I don’t see the point.” “It should be obvious. Why can’t they do anything right? Because old-fashioned free enterprise and competition have died. Now if we sell all our enemy’s military equipment we’ll be competing with the Russians, the French, the Germans, the Swedes. We’ll get our old productivity and efficiency back so fast it’ll make your head spin.” “Congressman McGonicle, you’re a statesman of daring vision. I wish you good luck.” Self-righteous pseudo newspaper * , ■ The Spccu^iM . j To the Editors Buffalo fans, the city of Buffalo and its people getting ranked out by a bunch of fanatic New York If I remember my Latin roots correctly, “uni” City oriented ideologies and spirits.

Lloyd Jim �Self-imposed alienation ro ere To the Editor. Mike McGuire’s attempt to justify the recent College F letter comparing college students to Attica inmates only tends to emphasize its weakness. Mr. McGuire’s “alienation... from educational and intellectual reality,” as he so aptly phrases it, is not enforced by iron bars and hostile guards, but is totally self-imposed. All.educational and intellectual activity need not take place within the University. The “reality” Mr. McGuire seeks is available through his own means. This is not to say “love it or leave it,” but Mr. McGuire should realize that a University, particularly one operating largely on public funds, is not primarily intended to be a tool of self-realization (although it may be used as one). To insist that the university orient students to “reality” is asking it to perform a function of which it is not capable. The presumption is that students here, and at other colleges, already have a fair grip on reality, and are using the varied resources of the University to to ther by Garry Wills President Ford in his address said: “Let us keep events in Southeast Asia in their proper perspective.” It would have been more accurate to say “restore them to their proper perspective,” since we have not been keeping them in perspective for some time. But the President had no intention of restoring perspective. He came to maintain the distortions of our policy. The speech was oddly self-defeating on the face of it. After reading a touching letter from Cambodia’s President, asking for aid, the President did not go on to ask Congress once again for aid he merely shrugged and said, “It may be too late.” Then why did he read the letter at all? To parade America’s failure? To advertise our incompetence? The only plausible explanation is that he meant, by this horrid example, to prevent the same failure in Vietnam. But does he really mean to prevent it? He talked more of the unfortunate possibilities of failure of evacuation for Americans and for Vietnamese than of anything positive his $900 million might be able to do for the Saigon regime. He spoke only vaguely of a Saigon “defense plan,” which would involve “stabilization of the military situation” to be followed by a “political solution.” What exactly, does that mean? The President himself details the breakdown of the Paris accords, reached when Saigon had much more territory, military discipline, and hope than it has now. If an agreement could not be reached before, why should we expect one now? Saigon is finished. It will not recapture its lost territory. It cannot live on in its maimed and incomplete condition. That is a reality. Yet our President comes before us and says. “Assistance to South Vietnam — further their own desires, to realize their realities. Yes, Mr. McGuire, the university is “a means to an end,” an end defined by the individual student, rather than some institutionalized university-wide reality which you presume to exist. It is precisely the fact that our prisons fail to provide a useful means to individual ends that makes our penal system a failure, and no amount of self-serving whining by students who ask the University to serve up “reality” on a silver platter should cloud that fact. — — Michael Kaye Peugeot not peugot , To the Editor. 1 feel it is my duty as an ex-Peugeot owner to point out the misspelling of said auto by Jeffrey Tashman in Monday’s The Spectrum. Calling a Peugeot a Peugot is like calling a Ford a Furd Eddie Rickenbacker drove a Peugeot to victory in the 1909 Indy 500. Let us not defame the name of such a at this stage must be swift and adequate half-hearted would be worse than none.” Yet his own program, even if acceded to by Congress, would be half-hearted. It has no clear goal of conquest, settlement, or preservation of the Saigon regime. It has no positive aspect at all. It holds out only a vague hope that if the war is prolonged, something might turn up. That was a sad Micawber self-delusion ten years ago. To cling to it now is solipsistic. How can we pretend any longer that the warring Vietnamese are going to treat each other better because we make it possible for them to kill each other a little longer? Besides, the President had to know that his chance of getting $700 million in weaponry was slim. Some said he meant to ask this as a bargaining point, to strengthen his chance of getting the $300 million he first requested but even that is unlikely now. Others think he was making the request so he could say “I told you so” and blame Congress when Saigon does fall an ignoble suspicion, but one the President courts by asking for the unlikely. His request makes no sense in itself, so men read into it all kinds of unconfessed and indirect motivations. - - We end the war as we began it, fooling others and fooling ourselves, using a huge intelligence apparatus to make ourselves willfully unintelligent, trying to throw American money at a problem on the assumption that money always finds a way, talking about our national reputation while we toy with a client state’s national existence. I did not think any President could add to the dishonor of our “peace with honor” hoax, but President Ford has contrived to do just that. It is hard to decide whether his military request is a devious stratagem or a straightforward idiocy. Either way, U continues our demeaning record. noble and illustrious automobile. Ralph W. Peters Discrimination against Fine Arts To the Editor ‘Twat’ around the court I am writing at this time to formally lodge a complaint against The Spectrum for its gross neglect of the so-called “fine arts” on this campus. This To the Editor In response to Richard Hohenstein’s April 16 letter regarding the use of the Amherst Bubble by University women Mr. Hohenstein: Whether or not you have the intelligence and insight to acknowledge the fact that women in our society are oppressed (and wrongfully so), it still constitutes a very real problem to 100 percent of all women. Your brilliant spew of indignant, sexist rhetoric did, however, overlook a few factors which fortunately Mr. Monkarsh was perceptive enough to recognize. Since our educational institutions wield significant - influence in perpetuating established male-female roles in our society, it is necessary (as any rational person should realize) to concentrate a great deal of effort in correcting the oppressive forces existing within this system. Giving women a fair “shake” in use of the Bubble facilities may entail certain special provisions, e.g. women’s night, or the reservation of two courts exclusively for women. We’re terribly sorry if this inconveniences Mr. Hohenstein and his peers. However, he should be made aware that it is because of the sexist minds of individuals like himself that any special provisions must be made at all. Perhaps if the women who do frequent the Amherst Bubble (1/10 of its total users, according to Mr. Hohenstein) were to escape the harassment, mockery and humiliation inflicted on them by such people as Mr. Hohenstein, and such statements as those contained in his letter, the percentage of University women on the courts would increase. That, Mr. Hohenstein, would alleviate your statistical hang-ups regarding use of the gym. In conclusion, a quote from Mr. Hohenstein’s letter This way, one girl at a time could trot around (or is it twat around) all six courts by herself.” Obviously, Mr. Hohenstein has some sort of innate poetic ability. I suggest that perhaps he should channel his efforts toward an area where his literary 'proficiency would receive greater appreciation, rather than wasting his time writing letters to The Spectrum, and expending his energy asserting himself on the courts. « Paula Burko . campus particularly is in need of strong support of the arts and The Spectrum could and should be in a position of leadership on this level, rather than simply be reflecting the mass tastes of the top ten or top forty as the case may be. I believe The Spectrum must be considered a newspaper and as such should have a policy, hopefully written, that it brings “news” to its readers and simply not “popular” news or news which it perceive as suitable to its public. I think it a most deceitful thing for a newspaper to pre-judge its readership and make the content reflective only of popular activities and not provide appropriate space to alternative forms of entertainment. In my two year experience on this campus, I find precious little space devoted to the arts other than pop-arts and find this a very serious dilemma. A University is, after all, a place where students and others experiment with all sorts of new experiences which might even include the arts. If The Spectrum abdicates its position of informing the public of such activities, its public is really short-changed and ripped-off, to use current terminology. Since coming here and viewing the obvious disinterest of The Spectrum staff, including its Fine Arts Editor, to many fine arts activities, we in the Music Department have been forced to purchase space in The Spectrum so that the University community is informed of our activities. Needless this financial burden cuts down our ability to do other many important things which may effect student lives as well as others.

LeClair 74D80 Box 149 Attica, New York 14011 Use your own money To the Editor I would like to voice my protest against mandatory support of the Attic* defendants. In The Spectrum of April 18, it was reported that the Student Assembly approved (besides other things) a SI.300 allocation for buses toi be sent to Albany with students from UB to demonstrate in the behalf of the Attica defendants. 1 have no personal feeling for or against the defendants io the Attica case or the students in support of them, but I feel that if these students wish to support the defendants, it’s their personal choice and it should be supported by their own money. The Student Assembly should not allocate funds from the SA budget that all of the students supported with fees. I am sure that there are many other students that feel as I do that SA money should be used for something that would benefit all of the students and not just a small percentage.

The lobbyists contacted 104 of the 2 0 l state legislators. Forty-five expressed support for decriminalization legislation, while 3b were opposed and 23 uncommitted to any position. Of those 23. however, many indicated they were leaning towards support for the reform. Several weeks ago NYPIRCTs central office sent letters to 150 student governments across the state urging them to actively support a series of activities designed to obtain legislative support for reform. NYPIRG members are optimistic about chances for pot decriminalization in New York State Although many legislators favor reform or at least maintaining open minds, observers - ) 3176 Main SI 833-1300 "Letouch's triumph... his major work. ”-Judith Crist, N.

Decriminalization legislation has focused on reducing penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana. Proposals range from one-quarter to four ounces, and by most accounts, prospects look best for one-quarter or one ounce. Proponents of decriminalization contend that people’s careers and lives are being ruined by a severe punishment that does not fit this “victimless” crime, especially when the alleged harmful effects of marijuana have yet to be proven scientifically." Another common argument is that the present law is so arbitrarily enforced it can only breed disrespect for the legal system. Another issue involves changing the definition of the term “sale.” Under t he current law, sale includes any transfer of Assemblyman Stanley Fink (D., Brooklyn), will support a bill making possession of one ounce or less of marijuana a violation carrying a small fine and/or short jail sentence (up to fifteen days), but no criminal record. The Assembly will conduct hearings and then vote on the proposed bills. Legislators’ reactions to the marijuana lobbyists varied. Many felt they were not yet prepared to commit themselves. Assemblyman Benjamin Roosa (R., Dutchess. Orange), explained that he is “sympathetic to reform but is now on the fence” because he thinks “the high school generation of today is drawing away from drugs and more toward alcohol.” Rep. Roosa admitted that the effects of marijuana are still unknown but he believes we will find it to be harmful. He added that adults, who often rate all drugs, including marjjuana\ in a single category, attribute the marijuana regardless of whether increase in crime to the use of changes hands. As a result, believe they are unlikely to money these drugs. a person caught passing a joint is sponsor decriminalization One proponent of reform, for a more serious legislation because of a lack of penalized Assemblyman Angelo Orazio (D., pressure from their constituents. offense than he has actually Nassau), felt national legalization committed, NYPIRG claims. was a more practical approach It is generally believed that this than Paper and information decriminalization because NYPIRG has advised students issue is less popular among the federal government could then to make a greater commitment to legislators and stands less chance control the quality, distribution marijuana reform,, depending of reform than the “possession” and price of marijuana.

Because he has observed that marijuana causes students to lose interest and incentive, he is leaning towards opposition to reform. Although some legislators were personally supporting marijuana reform, they felt their constituencies might be too conservative to approve their voting for reform at this time. �Big Four competition Stephens, Halady lead Bulls to track victory by Dan Greenbaum Spectrum Staff Writer State relied heavily on their devastating long distance men, who won the half mile and three mile events. Canisius kept out of the cellar by winning the last event, the javelin throw. They finished with 30 points to 28 for Niagara. The 45 mph winds that had everybody shivering in their shorts didn’t stop Stephens from doing his thing. Eldred won five events including a 9.5 clocking in the 100 yard dash, his best time of the season. Stephens, also won the 220 Buffalo’s track team scored a big victory in a Big Four track meet at Buffalo State on Saturday. Highlighted by the great performances of Eldred Stephens and Walt Halady, the Bulls scored 65 points to soundly defeat Buffalo State, Qanisius and Niagara. the Bengals stayed within striking range throughout most of the meet, by the Bulls clinched it with four events still remaining.

After a long day on the campaign trail, Winthrop Rockefeller, known to his colleagues as “Win,” arrived in Wynne, Arkansas, for the last speech of the day. Forgetting the name of the town, his campaign colleagues whispered to him “Wynne, Wynne,” at which point Mr. Rockefeller screamed, “Goddamn it, I know my name. WHERE AM I?” Mr. Brinkley said he later carried the election in Wynne because “people there thought that was the only honest political expression that they had ever heard.” J.S.U. and Israel Information Center invite you to meet Editor’s note: Dave Geringer, former Sports Editor of The Spectrum. has come back to write this column for us under his old heading. Sudden Death. Mr. Geringer is presently Editor-in-Chief of the Opinion (the Law school newspaper) and is still the foremost expert on Buffalo’s hockey program, the subject of this column. The hockey Bulls’ scheduling ofLake Superior Slate next year, an apparent attempt to strengthen their ties with the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA), is a move in the wrong direction. National power St. Louis University will be the only CCHA squad missing from Buffalo’s 1975-76 schedule.' The Bulls originally looked westward for opponents because they were frustrated by the ECAC Playoff Committee’s failure to select them for post-season play. Buffalo has reached the tournament only once in five years of Division II competition, as both the Bulls and their arch-rival, Oswego, have been among schools frustrated by committee decisions that reeked of politics. Buffalo sought to join the CCHA, a league similarly composed of “outcasts.” The CCHA was originally formed by teams who were frustrated in their attempts to join the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, the West’s equivalent of ECAC Division 1. When the CCHA split into two divisions, St. Louis, Ohio State (which later withdrew), Bowling Green and Lake Superior formed the first division, with Buffalo, Western Michigan, Lake Forest and Chicago Circle forming a second group. Each division was supposed to provide its members with a competitive division race. Despite their efforts, the association’s grand plan was a dud. Ohio State withdrew in an unsuccessful attempt to join the WCHA, while Chicago Circle proved to be an unmitigated disaster. The CCHA, left with iwo three-team divisions, then invited the Division II champion to the Dwision I playoffs, giving Buffalo a chance for post-season action. Western Michigan nosed out the Bulls for that spot in 1973-74. However, while Western Michigan’s program skyrocketed, Buffalo’s plummeted. The Broncos utilized scholarships to strengthen their team while the Bulls felt the effects of the curtailment of the foreign student tuition plan for the first time this past season and were weakened- tremendously. Western Michigan wrecked Buffalo’s CCHA playoff chances with a clean sweep of their four game series last season. The prospects for the future are bleak. Western Michigan and Ohio State are expected to swell Division I to five teams this season, eliminating the need to invite a Division II squad to the playoffs. The Bulls remain as part of a two-team second division with Lake Forest, a relatively pitiful team located near Chicago. It is clearly now worth Buffalo’s effort to make an eight-hour trip to register two one-sided wins. The Bulls’ ECAC playoff chances for the future were improved by the addition of athletic director Harry Fritz to the playoff committee last year. Buffalo was in the running for a playoff position down to the final week of its recently concluded season, despite a relatively poor —continued from page 1— DR.

Rochester Tech could fill the bill if a new patsy is desired, while Army and/or other New England-based schools could provide Buffalo with contests at their own level that will carry playoff importance. The latter ingredient has been lacking in Bull schedules since the inception of varsity hockey at Buffalo six years ago.

Fac-Sen considers funding, vacancies by Laura Bartlett Spectrum Staff Writer The University will request additional funding of S 1.1 million from the State’s supplemental budget, President Robert Ketter announced at Tuesday’s Faculty-Senate meeting. Included in that figure will be $169,000 for graduate student salaries, $300,000 for the libraries, and $100,000 to cover mandated faculty contracts. Dr. Ketter also announced that approximately $11.2 million will be requested from the state’s capital budget for construction at the Amherst campus next year. This figure represents, in effect, a request for the speeded-up construction of the new campus which Assemblyman G. James Fremming (D—Amherst) has advocated for some time. “I believe we have the correct individuals making the correct noises on our behalf,” Dr. Ketter said, indicating his belief that the requests have a good chance of being approved. “There is a strong desire for new construction projects on the Niagara frontier,” he went on, alluding to the area’s high unemployment. / Construction firms have begun advancing bids for the joint libraries project, which -is expected to begin in the near future. The “transition costs” of moving from the Main Street to the Amherst campus were also discussed at Tuesday’s meeting. Dr. Ketter explained that it has been understood, for some time, that the $650 million allocated for construction at the Amherst campus would also have to cover the costs of relocating various departments and equipment. He indicated, however, that more money would be needed to cover both the construction and the transition. The Spectrum In other business; Dr. Ketter compared this year’s applications from high school seniors with last year’s. The University has received 14,325 applications this year, he said, a slight increase over last year’s 14,122. Additionally, 5238 transfer applications have been received, another increase over last year’s figure of 5053. Equal Opportunity Program applicants also jumped from 1339 to 1699. Dr. Ketter contended, this indicates that “Buffalo is still a very desirable place to apply for incoming freshmen,” and contrasted this to the declining applications that other institutions have experienced. He also indicated that applications to the Medical School have also increased. He then announced that several prestigious instructors will be joining the faculty next semester, including one “senior faculty member” from Cornell. These individuals were invited, he said, under special permission, and were exceptions to the University-wide hiring freeze. Their acceptance. Dr. Ketter said, indicates that this University is also desirable for faculty. He attributed this to the quality of the Amherst campus facilities, and the University’s reputation for its “quality of students.'” Vacancy to be filled A vice-president for Academic Affairs will be chosen to fill the psoition which has been vacant for almost a year, Dr. Ketter also announced. The initial list of 1100 applicants has been narrowed down to two finalists, who will visit the campus with their wives within the next month. Dr. Ketter said they will be interviewed by numerous officials during their visit, and that evaluations will be solicited and considered in the final selection. Friday, 18 April 1975 State University of New York at Buffalo Vol. 25, No. 79 Ketter’s letter proposes split of athletics and intramurals by Bruce Engel Sports Editor President University Robert Ketter has proposed a complete of separation intercollegiate athletics intramurals and recreation. The plan would call on the state to fund intramurals and recreation while the “Student Association (SA) recognize and and responsibility for intercollegiate athletics, including initial professional staff.” Dr. Ketter’s plan was circulated in a letter to various segments of the University community. He termed it the most significant statement he has made on athletics since the decision to drop football in 1971. Dr. Ketter stressed, however, assume full that his letter, which represents intercollegiate athletics within the jurisdiction of Student Affairs is a from the significant change present system and clearly athletics from intramurals and recreation which would remain with the School of Health Education. Academic base Dr. Ketter’s letter calls for the intramural and recreation program to be strengthened and given a solid academic base. He indicated he would like to see more people, faculty, both students and separates participating in these programs. Dr. Ketter claims that intramurals and recreation “can be highly compatible with the a significant departure from the present program, is far from the final word on the subject. k Now is the time “This might not be the best way, but at least it’s a place to start,” he said. “If in fact there are better plans for this, now is the time for them to be brought forward.” Over the past few years, and authority funding over athletics have been a continual headache for the Administration, Athletic Department and SA, which funds the program through mandatory student fees. Student fees currently athletic expenses like pay food, transportation, equipment and supplies for the intercollegiate teams. But the coaches receive • their salaries from the state as teachers, and are allowed to substitute coaching time for a portion of their required teaching hours. The Ketter plan also calls for SA to hire an interim athletic director, responsible to both SA and the Vice President for Placing Student Affairs. I bill, there is a lot of support for it but money is ?o tight it is hard to predict whether it will pass. The bill has been in the Senate for three years but has yet to come to a vote. Ask die trustees However, Dr. Kettcr said he is not counting on this legislation to fund intramurals and recreation. If state funding of intramurals and recreation is desired by the officials here, he is prepared to ask the Trustees for permission to take the funds out of the general University budget. Intramurals and recreation is budgeted for about $60,000 annually. Regarding the funding of athletics. Dr. Ketter said he would like to see either a separate student fee go directly to athletics or a set percentage of the fee go directly towards athletics every year. This would simplify and stabilize the funding procedure but would represent a departure from both Trustee and SA policy. The concerning Robert Ketter strengthening of the School of Health Education, whereas intercollegiate athletics cannot.” He believes the state should fund these programs to a greater extent than it does now. Currently, the state provides facilities and professional staff while the students provide funds for the operating budget. A bill now by the State Senate Finance Committee calls for the state to spend S310,000 on intramurals and recreation throughout the SONY system. According to Bob Davis, an aide to Senator James McFarland, who is sponsoring the biggest questions Dr. Kettcr’s letter concern the idea that coaches’ salaries would be paid by student fees and coaches would be hired and fired by an athletic director answerable to SA. It has been speculated that many of the present coaches would not work under these conditions. Coaches Richard Siggelkow, who, as Vice President for Student Affairs would be responsible for athletics under the proposed system, did not think this would be a problem. “They would just have to take the gamble,” Dr. Siggelkow said. “I think the plan is workable. There are a lot of qualified coaches out there,” he added. Dr. Siggelkow said that while accept this added he would he was not responsibility, campaigning for it and that he —continued on Assembly approves allocation for Albany rally by Clem Colucci Special Features Editor The Student Assembly, in a heated three and one half hour meeting, voted down a constitutional amendment proposed by Richard Sokolow to make financial referenda binding on the Student Association' (SA). It also approved a $1300 allocation for buses to bring students to a demonstration in Albany calling for amnesty for the Attica defendants. Mr. Sokolow’s proposal would have changed Article VIII, section I of the SA Constitution removing the restriction on binding financial referenda. He described the provision as “arbitrary” and said it “shows a basic distrust of the ability of students to decide where they want their money to go.” Student Judiciary Chief Justice Larry Katz told the Assembly that the suit catling for the Judiciary to declare the provision unconstitutional had been turned down. Mr. Katz said the Judiciary did not have jurisdiction over the matter since it would have involved the “paradox” of declaring a section of the Constitution unconstitutional. He said the issues the suit raised “go right to the heart of student government,” and urged the either the Assembly or a Assembly to use the “proper mechanism” referendum to decide the issue. — — —continued on page 6— page 4— �Students across the state remain oblivious to the Attica situation verdict in the trial of Dacajeweiah and Charlie Joe Pernasalice.

Stone between the lines workingin the aftermath of the April 5 convictions Ms, .Wolff and Ms. Gooch said the committee is now focusing its efforts on the April 28 march in Albany in support of Assemblyman Arthur Eve’s bill, which calls for total amnesty for the Attica Brothers. They stressed that the bill calls for amnesty for all political charges stemming from the 1971 uprising and does not concern itself with the charges for which they were formally imprisoned. Accordingly, the committee has just sent out information packets to 150 schools across the state, including high schools in the Albany area, to gain support for the march. Included in the packet is a letter of instrduction, a chronology of Attica-related events, an emotional letter to students, copies of The Spectrum Extra and Attica News an indictment sheet naming all the defendants and the charges against them, Attica resolutions passed by the Student Association, and people’s petitions supporting the Assembly bill. Also included is an Attica Now leaflet, stating the reasons for the march. The number of people who will attend the march depends on the publicity it receives throughout the state, Ms. Goch said. “We must call student leaders at all schools and impress upon them the importance of tbe event,” Ms. Goch added. Student response in Buffalo has already increased with the formation of the committees and the appearance of speakers in Haas Lounge. There is also a growing awareness of the Attica situation at Buffalo State College, where a support group has recently been formed. Because they were on vacation, Buff. State students did not participate in the April 2 demonstration. A firm rapport is nonetheless being established between the two schools.

University may institute general ed requirement A “general education” requirement for University freshmen may be instituted if proposals presented to a Faculty-Senate committee are carried out, according to Dave Shapiro, Student Association (SA) Academic Affairs Coordinator. The Faculty-Senate’s Educational Planning and Policy Committee, chaired by Psychology professor Ira Cohen, is currently investigating two different ways of broadening the educational of students here. One of the proposals if for a system of two tracks. An “honors” track would give incoming freshmen the option of taking four courses in the “theory of man.” The other track would require entering freshmen to take a course in basic English. “The thought is that students are too constricted in their majors,” said Mr.. Shapiro, a committee member. “What they (the committee) wants is science minors who can iVork Review English the New who" can read of majors departments. Each semester, the sections would all revolve around a common theme. FTE’s counted The proposal circulated among the committee members states that “participating faculty should be generalists with a desire to teach outside their own specialties.” It also suggests that academic departments which contribute teachers to the program could count the students in sections taught by its members as full-time equivalent students in their own departmental courses. Full-time equivalents (FTE’s) play a significant role in determining the number of faculty lines a department or division receives. Mr. Shapiro predicted that there is relatively little chance that the proposal for the honors “track” could be implemented in the near future, mainly because there are “about eight” competing versions of the same idea before the committee. Even if everyone on the committee wanted to set up an honors track, it would be difficult for the committee to just decide among the eight. The chances for the freshman course are somewhat better, Mr. Shapiro said. The committee will be meeting today to decide if a rough draft of the plan should be What a Beautify!

Problem seen The memo also listed newly adjusted prices for fees, charges and deposits for University services, asking that they be checked for completeness and medical school Similarly, transcripts are duplicated and mailed out by the American Medical Center’s Application Center. Pre-med advisor Josephine Capuana said that between 80 and 85 medical schools belong to the service, including most of those located in New York State and the surrounding area, and most of those which are popular among premed students here. Dental School applications are also handled through a transcript service. One potential problem exists for students who wish to forward their seventh semester grades to schools they have already applied to. Transcript services do not handle seventh semester grades, so students wishing to strengthen their chances for acceptance will have to pay the $2 fee for each extra After appropriate changes have been made, the schedule will be sent to President Robert Ketter for review and then to SUNY Centraol Administration for final approval, the mod. The approved schedule of charges wil be published several times in both The Reporter and The Spectrum before the beginning of the fall semester and will be incorporated in various catalogs and handbooks. Final approval from SUNY Central, and subsequent publication in the campus media, is not expected until the summer. Committee work Ed Doty, Vice President for Finanance and Management, explained that the new prices were agreed upon by a State University-Wide Committee comprised of campus presidents and students. The committee sought to establish some consistency among all the various SUNY branches in the fees, charges and deposits, Mr. Doty said, to eliminate the wide discrepancies that already existed He said that transcript costs varied throughout SUNY, and the reason for changing was that “no one likes to be in a position to charge more than other schools.” In general, the shift in charges would have little impact on this campus, he observed. Seniors who seek admission to graduate schools usually send out applications to between 12 and 16 schools, each requiring a seperate copy of the transcript. The new $2 charge can mean anywhere copy. Charges for various services and securities include residence halls deposits, music locker rentals, library penalties for overdue books, and gymnasium locker and towel rental fees. Three places Mr. Doty refused to comment on how prices at the State University at Buffalo compare with those at other SUNY branches. Money from fees, charges and deposits are forward to three places: the SUNY income Fund, where it is used to bolster the existing SUNY operating budget; the Faculty-Student Association (FSA) agency bank income account; and reimbursable accounts, which are bank accounts set up for a specific purpose, like broken windows or lost lab equipment.

Lon Nol was put into power following a CIA-organized coup that overthrew neutralist government leader Norodom Sihanouk in 1970. Remnants of the Lon Nol government offered a ceasefire to Prince Sihanouk, who is exiled in Peking. Sihanouk is considered titular head of the Royal Government of National Union of Cambodia, a broad umbrella organization of various national organizations. The Yugoslav agency Tanjug reported from Peking that Sihanouk advised the remaining leaders to flee the country and allow the rebels to take power. Airport The Phnom Penh Airport had fallen to the liberation forces as The Spectrum went to press, and had seized control of a large city market, a vital bridge, the fringes of a northern industrial suburb and a southern business district. Rebel gunners have surrounded the city, destroyed two major fuel depots, and taken control of the provincial capital Takhmau, five miles south of Phnom Penh. Reports have confirmed that the liberation forces encountered little resistance, while significant numbers of the crumbling Lon Nol army deserted to the rebels. With most of Cambodia in the hands of the liberation forces, the falling of the capital is in the final stage of the war. Move on Saigon Meanwhile, in South Vietnam, gunners from the People’s Liberation Army of the Provisional Revolutionary Government shelled Thieu’s largest t fighter base at Bien Hoa, 15 miles from Saigon, while additional divisions appear to be moving on the capital. Thieu was installed in power with Air Force Marshall Ky in 1965 by the United States government, two years after the assassination of the country’s former dictator, Ngo Dinh Diem. In 1967, Thieu gained dominance in the government in a notoriously rigged election, and strengthened his hold in the 1971 election whe*’ he barred all opposition candidates from participation. Ford said this week he is Most observers are unconvinced that food and medicine couldn’t save Thieu from military defeat, and critics point out that money for food, channelled to Saigon in the past, was used for additional military weapons. ‘Forced’ evacuations The Giai Phong Press Agency of the Provisional Revolutionary Government has reported that life has returned to normal after Thieu’s troops and bombers left. The news agency has charged that thousands of refugees were “forced” to flee their homes by the terrorizing and looting of Saigon’s crumbling army, and by massive saturation bombings by the American-financed Saigon Air Force. In various provinces, the Provisional Revolutionary provided has Government transportation for the displaced civilian population to return to their homes. In Da Nang, the Press Agency reports, preparations are being made to set up a local government, with broad sectors of people being guaranteed representation in the popularly elected bodies. Workers have worked around the clock to electricity, restore water and supplies communication lines. International recognition The Press Agency reported that the Vietnam Women’s Union, organized in both North and South called all. international Vietnam, has upon organizations and concerned individuals to press the Ford administration to end the evacuation of Vietnamese children, claiming that it is “forced.” Some American anti-war organizations have termed the much publicized “baby-lift" as "kidnapping” and have urged it to stop. The Provisional Revolutionary Government was formed in 1968 by a wide range of organizations and individuals, students, including professionals, workers, small businessmen and others, to govern territory that was ccttrolled by their member as a “provisional” organizations. Described including both Communists and government, independents, they had established diplomatic relations with 37 foreign countries by 1973.

Times HEARTS Ml) Mims One economic by-product of the world arms race is increased sales arms exporters. Foreign demand for American weapons accounts for over $8 billion annually, with deliveries to foreign buyers many of them in the Near East growing at the fastest rate in American history. Also, domestic expenditures for arms and products, such as uniforms and food, total about $15 million. For the most part, the money for these arms comes from “petrodollars.” The sale of weapons systems has become a big business for many American manufacturers and has helped balance the decline in domestic military sales after the U.S. withdrew from Vietnam. These American manufacturers, however, are becoming increasingly concerned over recent Congressional criticism that military exports are too heavy, thereby provoking a Mideast arms race. Additionally, conflict-of-interest, or “war profiteer” charges have been leveled at firms employing former military officers. for U.S. — — Balance see threatened Political observers are very concerned about the “disproportional” amount of military arms being sold to Arab nations. U.S. corporations have recently sold jet fighters to Iran and Saudi Afabia, anti-tank missies to Oman, and air defense missies to Kuwait. Alarmingly, Israel Over three-quarters of foreign military sales come from the Middle East, of which Iran and Israel make the largest part. The rise in foreign orders for the American equipment has been rapid. Orders for fiscal 1974 were more than double the level for 1973 and roughly eight times greater than the late 1960’s. Among the manufacturers were the Bell Helicopter Company (a division of Textron, Inc.), the'General Electric Company, the Northrop Corporation, the McDonnell-Douglas Corporation and the Raytheon Company and the EMC Corporation. According to the Pentagon, these six companies received over $2 billion in contracts from foreign arms buyers pver the last two-years. Despite the involvement of numerous American companies in weapons manufacturing, only a few control most of the business. According to a Defense Department report released in February, 132 training and technical assistance teams from five companies were operating in 34 countries under “foreign military sales” contracts. Current statistics show the U.S. is by far the largest weapons exporter. In 1973, American corporations were responsible for more than half of the world’s arms exports while the Soviet Union was second with 27.5 percent, according to an Arms Control and Disarmament Agency report. Other countries, including France and Britain, are also involved in the sale of large quantities of military equipment. Britain, for example, is reportedly negotiating a major arms agreement with Libya that might include hundreds of millions of dollars in aircraft fighters, battleships and other military equipment. Iran first A major controversy developed when Iran was allowed to buy fighter in 1973 even though the Pentagon regarded it as the most advanced equipment available. The Secretary of Defense reported last February that the U.S. Navy gave Iran “equal priority” which could conceivably allow Iran delivery of its F-I4’s before the Navy was fully supplied. Also, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said Iran and Israel have expressed interest in Rockwell International Corporation’s Condor missies even though the Defense Department has hesitated to purchase them because of their high cost. The controversy also applies to trained personnel. According to the Congressional General Accounting Office, nearly 500 military technical assistance personnel in Iran possessed skills which were in “critically short” supply in the U.S. armed forces. Defense experts forecast a continued rise in military sales lasting at least several years, partially because of the large surge in multi-year contracts.

The Spectrum Friday, 18 April 1975 . — 838-5533 _ �Students urged to look past aid to education Consumer advocate Ralph Nader, former Senator Eugene McCarthy and Congressman Richard Schweiker (D-Penn.) urged students attending the National Student Lobby (NSL) Conference to combat the nation’s problems. **I commend students for speaking out as they did during the Vietnam war because it did have a mitigating effect on many of us,” Congressman Schweiker told the students. He said that while their main priority might be an aid to higher education, they should consider the “parameters” that determine how much money namely, will go to education heavy government spending on the military. “One hundred sixty billion — Student lobby fighting against proposed federal aid cuts Federal aid to higher education was the number one priority at this year’s National Student Lobby (NSL) conference, which met in Washington, D.C. last weekend. Representatives from more than 40 of the nation’s universities gathered to protest President Ford’s proposed 196 million dollar decrease in student assistance programs for 1976. Originally, the NSL organized as a permanent lobby in Washington to influence legislative policy on issues concerning education that affect college students. The five-day conference acquainted students with the - issues and trained them in proper lobbying techniques before they actually met with Congressional leaders on Capitol Hill. Limit assistance The proposed cutbacks in aid to higher education would reduce the number of students under the five federal assistance programs: Basic Equal Opportunity Grants (BEOG), Supplementary Equal Opportunity Grants (SEOG), National Direct Student Loans, College Work Study and State Scholarship Incentive, The NSL pointed out that President Ford favors the elimination of SEOG and National Direct Student Loans by reducing work study by $50 million, a move that would cause f00,000 students to lose their jobs. The NSL believes students will be forced to borrow more or seek outside employment and urged of the Emergency Appropriations Bill, which calls for a $255 million increase in work study, and BEOG’s $110 million for the SEOG program. Other issues discussed at the conference were discriminatory practices against women and minorities in colleges and the possibility of defeating the Holt Amendment which would prohibit the cut-off of federal funding to universities violating the Family Rights and Privacy Education Act, which guarantees passage students the right to view nearly all previously confidential files. Learning to lobby Students then met with professional lobbyests Dick Clark from Common Cause, John Isaacs from the Americans for Democratic Action (ADA), Congressmen Bob Carr (Michigan), George Miller (California), and John Heinze (Pennsylvania) to learn lobby techniques. “Be brief and clear, know your material, be polite and do not antagonize your representatives,” Mr. Clark advised the students, who switched roles with the Congressmen during a simulated lobbying session. Afterwards, Mr. Miller said the session was helpful in giving direction to students interested in governmental procedures. He also said he is convinced that an organized student body could be effective. “Today, students in California a major voice in governmental policy of education and I hope the same thing happens here,” Congressman have Miller maintained. Problems Many students felt, however, of the Student Association of the they were not properly prepared to lobby before legislators, and soon became disillusioned. Some, in fact, left the conference early. Ray Glass, legislative director lOR TOAST PLUS 2 COUNTRY; 1FRESH EGGS, as you-like 'em.* \ 3 *1.05 3300 SHERIDAN DRIVE I ; State of New York (SASU), also had negative feelings about the conference. He said it dwelled on internal politics such as elections and resolutions rather than “drilling” students on the key issues facing education. The lobby session between student representatives from New York State and Senator Javits’ aids on education emipted into a somewhat hostile meeting. When a State University of Binghamton representative presented his argument, Gregg Fusco, educational assistant to Senator Javits, scolded him for not sticking to the issues. Despite the emphasis on courtesy during the training session, the student representative told Mr. Fusco, “Stop jumping on my back.” Several other students reported that they found their representatives dollars has been spent on Indochina. All economists agree that this is what started the present inflation,” Mr. Schweiker said. He explained that the United States could easily cut five billion dollars “if not more” from the military budget without hurting defense. This could be done by reconsidering the necessity of before we pour more money into it,” he said. Congressional support On the more positive side. New York Congresswoman Shirley Chisolm and Senator Javits came out in strong support of the amendments supporting aid to education. Ms. Chisolm explained that although the Royal Obey Stokes Amendment to increase SEOG’s by $110 million would pass with a simple majority, the bill would definitely be vetoed by the President. “The President has already told us not to send him any more of those kind of bills because he will automatically veto them,” she asserted. Ms. Chisolm added that “money for education should be a numoer one priority in a democratic society.” Mr. Javits then promised a group of student representatives his continued support for aid to higher education. “Not enough money is spent on higher education and I will do my best to see this legislation go through,” he declared. i percent of the money in the federal Basic Equal Opportunity Grant program (BEOG) was left unused this year because of a “miscalculation” by the federal government, according to Mr. Schweiker. Nadar discusses activism Ralph Nader addressed the NSL on the trend of student activism since the fifties. “In the fifties there was grave conformity, intimidation,” Mr. Nader said. “Beginning in the sixties there was a breakdown in the Ivory tower myth and students became actively involved in civil rights, the Vietnam war, poverty and pollution. These issues are still with us today, but students are too much like they were in the fifties,” he continued. Mr. Nader said the nation’s schools and industries were making deliberate attempts to “juvenalize” students and keep them involved in “trivia” so they will be unable to upset the status quo. As examples, the noted divert the attention of students. This trend has also made itself apparent in higher educational systems, according to Mr. Nader. “The trend in the sixties was to give students more responsibility in colleges. Today, students serve low positions on advisory boards where they make up a small minority,” he said. to Spend own money “Juvenalization” in schools is most obvious in the small amount and evasive. must learn how to cut the inflationary costs of education also deprived students of financial aid this year, the said. Twenty-five Congressman consumer advocate pointed out how the “teenage market” industries use cosmetics and fads unapproachable Sessions with members of the President’s staff also proved frustrating to some NSL members. After meeting with members of Pres. Ford’s Domestic Council, Mr. Glass reported, “They sought ridiculous arguments to defeat all of NSL’s positions.” In fact, one assistant to Vice President Rockefeller said he would be reluctant to see money cut from defense to fund higher education because of what he terms “too much waste in education. We “Poor government supervision” has of control students have over their own school budgets, Mr. Nader explained. “Students must go ‘hand in hand’ to administrators for permission on how to spend their own money.” Mr. Nader pointed out that a major obstacle which prevents —Walker Dick Clark of Common Cause addressing last weekend's student conference in Washington building the 15-20 billion dollar defense systems that are being planned, he explained. Confusion Mr. Schweiker insisted that systems are in Congress because during debates, legislators are too often confused by technical terms thrown at them by military proponents. The “poor supervision” of the federal government is responsible for the “economic tragedy” and “disunity” that has taken place in this country, Mr. Schweiker went on. Having served for ten years on the Congressional Committee which oversees the CIA, Mr. Schweiker explained that for eight of those years, the CIA never informed the committee that they were involved in a war with Laos. “It is a sad commentary on the system if a secret agency can conduct its own war for eight years without Congress knowing about.it,” he said. expensive weapon never defeated Mr. Schweiker reported that Congress is planning to investigate other CIA activities particularly its alleged involvement in Chile and in political assassinations. students from organizing effectively is the “bickering” that goes on between student groups on campus, citing as an example the ongoing feud between student governments and Public Interest Research Groups (PIRG). He told NSL students that if they would organize as one group, they could investigate issues like the validity of the ETS (Educational Testing Service) by finding out what sort of ties its Board of Trustees might have with politics or big business. Mr. Nader also urged students to use their resources to investigate national issues as well. “If you are interested in chemistry or biology investigate water contamination, if you are interested in sociology, political science or economics, investigate crime and corruption in the government.” Mr. McCarthy gave students at the NSL convention similar advice. “You should have a strong influence on federal aid to education but you should also look beyond those issues that affect you in your role as citizens. You have a responsibility to who working people are threatened with unemployment and to the poor, aged and minorities of this country,” he declared. Rosalie Zuckerman Friday, 18 April 1975 The Spectrum . Page seven . �Guest Opinio by Bert Black Restore the SUNY budget SA Constitutional Reform Committee Note to the reader before reading, refer to the left page of The Spectrum, Monday, April 14. - Although Governor Carey stated last September that front "the State, not the students, must bear the costs of higher There appeared in Monday’s The Spectrum, an education in these days of high inflation," the State article attacking the New Student Association (SA) University of New York is now facing one of the most severe Constitution. As a member of the committee that it, I would like to shed a little more light crises in its history. The State Legislature recently cut $7.5 rewrote (and certainly less heat), on the constitution than million out of the $37.5 million SUNY budget increase the article die. Members of the “ad-hoc committee of recommended by Governor Carey. The Governor's budget Assemblypersons,” after meeting in the CAC office, a figure reprsented only 6.1 percent increase over last year's were interviewed and they attacked the constitution appropriations, less than half the funding necessary to on the following grounds; merely cover inflationary increases. In real dollars, the 1) Members of the ad-hoc committee claimed Governor's recommended $37 million increase means an that they were never asked about the new they claimed that* it was railroaded actual $8 million decrease in base funding. The Governor's Constitution; through. budget has also increased the student-faculty ratio for the In fact, the Constitutional Committee asked the ninth time in as many years, and calls for the elimination of Assembly many times for input and advice; it was a fact that the Committee was meeting more than 200 faculty and professional staff jobs well-known regularly and that all of our meetings were open. throughout SUNY. Most of them were announced at Assembly If the legislative cuts are not restored in the supplemental budget, many additional jobs will be lost through massive retrenchment, faculty and staff layoffs and cutbacks in student services. Coupled with projected enrollment increases, such layoffs and cutbacks will deal a crippling blow to the educational quality of the University. The four Medical Centers of the State University which train more physicians and nurses than almost any other University in the nation also provide essential health care services to the citizens of New York. They too have been especially hard-hit by the budget, and will be forced to reduce the number of hospital beds and curtail emergency room and other essential services, many of which generate state revenues. The cost of medical supplies has skyrocketed, and understaffing can seriously threaten the accreditation of SUNY's teaching hospitals. Failure to increase funding in these crucial areas will not only damage the University and its ability to provide quality health care; it will also cut sharply into the State's already-scarece medical services. — — While we realize, along with' the United University Professionals (UUP) and the Student Association of the State University (SASU), that the State's fiscal picture is bleak, and that it may seem expedient in the short run to cut back in expenditures for public higher education, such artificial economies will do serious damage to the economy in the long run. Both the State and the nation depend upon highly sophisticated management skills, a constantly expanding technology, and a skilled, intelligent and flexible labor force. High quality public education, available to all citizens, is therefore one of the wisest investments the State can make. Billions of tax dollars have already been used to construct the State University. To understaff, under-enroll and under-supply it now would simply waste the massive investment made by the citizens of New York State in building their University. Over the past twelve months, unemployment has skyrocketed, while inflation has systematically hindered the ability of many to afford essential services. The tuition level of the State University, however, is ninth highest of the nation's 130 public colleges and universities, even though New York is first in the nation in State support private colleges. Our State government must also remember that 69 percent of the students of State University come from families with combined incomes of $12,000 or less, and nine out of 10 from families with incomes of $20,000 or less. Unless the State is willing to expend public funds to maintain the high quality of services offered by State University, additional revenues will have to be generated from those least able to afford them. As a consequence, many will be unable to attend institutions of higher education and will be denied the opportunity of realizing their full potential. For all these reasons, we strongly support the students, faculty and non-teaching professional staff of the State University of New York in calling upon the State Legislature to restore the operating budget of the State University to a level sufficient for maintaining high quality, low-cost public higher education for all the citizens of New York State. meetings. This does not mean, that Assemblypersons were the only people who did not attend our meetings. On the contrary, the only people who attended from outside the Committee were Mr. Jackalone, Mr. Salimando and Mr. Burgess, each of whom came a total of once over the course of well over a month and a half. 2) Members of the ad-hoc committee claifhed that the format was not explained to them until one week before the referendum. In fact, Mr. Lange gave a report, as scheduled, to the Assembly at the meeting of November 20, 1974. At that time he asked the Assembly for help on the question of student representation. Once again, no real action was taken by the Assembly. 3) Members of the ad-hoc committee claimed that there was no attempt to inform the public about the real workings of the new Constitution. In fact, the advertisements did contain a number of details about the new Constitution; whatever was not available to the student in the ads was made public through the text of the document and through several analyses done in both the news and editorial pages of The Spectrum. 4) Members of the ad-hoc committee claimed that the new Constituion fails to provide restraints on the power of the Executive Committee. They charge that the Executive Committee will dominate the Student Senate and the Task Forces. In fact, there are ten members of the Executive Committee; there are thirty-five other members of the Student Senate, all of whom are expected to show up at all meetings that they are involved in. If the ten Executive members can sway the thirty-five other Senators so easily, or without cause, that is the students’ fault. In addition, we have raised the quorun to 40 percent, as opposed to this year, when, with a 20 percent quorum it was possible for the Executive Committee to actually be a majority of those present. This will not happen under the new Constitution. 5) Members of the ad-hoc committee claimed t . - > that there was only one evidence of dissent, an open letter written by Robert Cohen and the former director of NYPIRG. They claim that this is evidence that the Constitution was railroaded through. In fact, I believe this shows that the students agreed with the basic premises and details of the Constitution. 6) Members of the ad-hoc committee claimed that there has been no change in power; that only the name had been changed. In fact, there has been a considerable change in power, as the Student Senate has been given a new not budgets. The Student emphasis; legislation Senate will have neither the hassle or the power to deal with the budget. That will be the job of the Financial Assembly, a group of 53 students (more than attend most Assembly meetings), made up of the Senate Finance Committee, the officers and the coordinators, and the Student Activities Task Force, which in itself represents all groups that receive SA monies, plus publicly elected members. This allows the Student Senate to deal more effectively with other governance groups on this campus instead of wasting three months of its time on comparatively trivial budgets. 7) Members of the ad-hoc committee claimed that there will be less student representation than ever before. In fact, there will probably be more!! There are 45 members of the Student Senate. They are all elected in one way or another from the student body. There will be more people in the task forces than were ever in the Student Assembly. At its largest, the Student Assembly had 120 members, representing 4800 students. That’s only one-third — the possible number. 8) Members of the ad-hoc committee claimed that the new Constitution has inherent weaknesses. In fact, the aspects that they point out are certainly not earthshaking in their importance; they can be ascribed to mental omissions or typographical errors and are easily remedied. They are picking on petty points. 9) Members of the ad-hoc committee claim that there will be an underrepresentation o lubs and interest groups on the Student Senate. In fact, there are ten Senators each from the Academic Affaire Task Force and the Student Affairs Task Force. However, there are fifteen from the Student Activities Task Force; ten that are elected from the public and five that are elected from within the Task Force itself. As to a decrease in club and interest group representation, I can’t see anything wrong with that. After all, they couldn’t have too mpeh more representation than they have now. The entire idea behind the new Constitution is to prevent interest groups and clubs from dominating SA as they have in the past and as they do now; its to allow the SA freedom from crisis and paralysis; its to allow for representation of all students, not just Norton Hacks. This reactionary move on the part of a few disgruntled members seems to me to be an attempt to retain personal power that would be lost under the new Constitution; these people are the worst facet of student government, and I submit that they are the true elitists. Sexist slur Lev is all of us To the Editor. To the Editor. On Monday afternoon {the 14th) people all over Norton Hall were talking about Brice Engel’s Sports Shorts in The Spectrum (vol. 25, no. 77). “I can’t believe he put that in.” “What nerve.” These were some of the remarks passed between angered male and female students. The sentences in question read, “However, Recreation Director Bill Monkarsh told The Spectrum that men will be excluded for the first two weeks because he feels men have been inhibiting the women.

We might, from time to tome, shuffle around a few of the props but we don’t have to bother inventing a paradise when we have already seen one. For some, it might be that paradise looked like the fantasy land created in George Pal’s film version of The Time Machine. Everyone would be blond, they would play by a brook all day, they would have all the most delicious fruits and food at their fingertips, and their minds would be so imbecilic and sloth-like that there would be no such thing as unhappiness.

Griffith refined the elipse. He realized that many of the tiny units of an action could be omitted, and still the whole action could be understood. While Griffith was doing his own editing, he discovered the psychological importance of the length of a shot In 1926, he wrote, “Pace is a the life of a new word to describe the intangible something that picture sweeps the drama across the screen in absorbing cycles of action and suspense. It is a part of the pulse of life itself, and being common to all human consciousness, its insistent beat has the curious power to seduce and sway the emotions, as the rhythmic tread of marching troops sways a suspended bridge. When the pace of a picture weds the pulse of an audience, the results are astonishing. Pace is the secret of the director’s art" Griffith felt his power as a director was similar to the power of a hypnotist, and he used the screen to mesmerize his audience. “Add pace the ebb and flow of pleasurable tides of excitement, the rhythmic movement of events toward the ecstatic consummation of romantic and and it is easy for adventurous dreams people to delude themselves into believing that, in some strange way, the romance and adventure are their own.” ... - - - -jUpf architect, he went to Louis Sullivan to become an apprentice. Sullivan kept him, and assigned him to all the drudge work. When Jack Nicholson set out to become a great actor, he went to Paramount Studios. Paramount hired him as a messenger in the mail room. When D.W. Griffith went to Edwin Porter with a script, Porter hired Griffith for the lead role in his film, Rescued from an Eagle’s Nest (1907). Griffith acquired the title “father of film technique” for his refinement of filmic techniques, some used first by Porter himself. He refined cutting techniques, the "close-up," he established the importance of pacing, filmed on location, and sophisticated every basic unit of filmmaking. Boring? When the audience asked of a film “Why don’t they do something?” they were really disturbed by a lengthy shot, according the Griffith. In 1926, before sound, action was important to all films, and not only an ingredient for adventure films. Mash was to Altman as Birth of a Nation was to Griffith. In terms of —continued on p«9« 12— The producer’s echo Griffith realized that there was really no need to keep the distance between a stage and an audience. To emphasize action in an actor’s arms, he filmed only the actor’s arms. "The public will never buy only half an actor,” the producers told him, the way Robert Altman’s producers tell him, "But they won’t hear you, Robert,” when he overlaps dialogue in his present day films. With Griffith, the audiences liked and bought In fact, that is one of the remarkable things about Griffith even - Supplement to The Spectrum �To be in dreams awake by Leslie Fiedler I have been challenged to make an aesthetics of popular culture, and I’m a man who has been saying all of his life that he doesn’t believe that aesthetics is real even for what we used to call high culture. But I am, in fact, engaged in a long process (I think it is going to be long; it’s overtaken me and is working its way out in my head and God knows when I will finish it) that is going to end in a book for which I now have a title and not much else: “What Was Literature?” Let me explain to you that I’m a man who doesn’t believe that aesthetics in the narrow sense is a viable concept, because I don’t think of works as existing formally. I think of literature not as existing as an object, as words on a page, but always as being images in heads which themselves are in society and, therefore, the only way in which one can talk about literature meaningfully is to talk about psychology first and society second. It is possible to talk in terms both analytic and evaluative. I don’t believe in criticism which evades the essential task of saying something is good or bad or I Iik6 it or I hate it. We need to examine the possibility of working out a way of talking about pop books, analytic and evaluative at the same time. Talking about works which depend for their meaning primarily on the use of words, whether those words be spoken or written or some combination of spoken and written. Janus But I am a fork-tongued speaker. I’m on both sides of the question as to whether there can be a criticism of popular literature. I’m on both sides of the question as to whether a distinction between popular art and high art is valuable at all. It is in the essential nature of popular art that it is, in a way which is disconcerting to traditional aestheticians, especially formalists of any kind, independent of, in some deep sense, indifferent to media. The medium is not the message in popular art far from it. The. medium in some way is irrelevant to the message of popular art, since popular art works in a very striking way by doing what all literary art does, what all art does by evoking primordial images. But the way in which the popular art evokes primordial images. But the immediately transferable from one medium to another. It has always been the nature of mythic art, and popular art is in some sense mythic art (popular literature comes into existence at the point where myth is married to technology) that it can be told in any number of words and can be rendered in any kind of medium. One doesn’t have to think of right now. Popular literature is very old. As a matter of fact, the first form of popular art in our civilization is the novel. We have mistakenly been trying to kidnap the novel into high art, but it was from the start popular literature. When Dickens wrote the most popular of his books, The Pickwick Papers, not only was it possible for another author to continue the story of Pickwick (George Reynolds) in other words and other terms but immediately Pickwick got changed into hangings on the wall, ceramic jugs, a cigar, and Pickwick entered into the popular domain. — — — Film and book The chief example of this process in our own time is that interchange-exchange which goes on between the film and the book. Let me give you a recent example. “Cabaret" was first written as a series of stories by a man who thought of himself as an elitist artist, Christopher Isherwood, product of Oxford and the years between the wars in Berlin, and a friend of W.H. Auden. Isherwood’s book, after it had come into existence, passed out of his hands, out of the world of the elitist art to which he thought it belonged into the public domain of pop art It was made into a play called I Am a Camera which became a film called / Am a Camera which became a musical called Cabaret which became a film called Cabaret and when the Academy Award was given to Cabaret, the name of Christopher Isherwood was not mentioned at all, because in some way the figure which had come to possess that work, and made it her own, was the figure of Liza Minelli whom nobody was able to experience without thinking of Judy Garland, which brought in The Wizard of Oz, and there was this composite work of popular literature which ranged from the director Minelli to the actress Liza Minelli to Judy Garland to The Wizard of Oz to Frank Baum who’s the father of us all and one of the greatest American novelists. Author, author? It is the nature of the popular arts and of popular literature that the author is finally as irrelevant as the medium. Popular art is not private property. People may make dough on it. Usually it is not the guy who would be called technically the author. It is exploited commerically but popular art belongs to nobody. No sooner is it released than it passes out of the hands of its individual author, as it passes out of its medium, into the great communal imagination. The history of any popular genre (and I have been thinking about the possibility of a history of pop as well as the possibility of a criticism of pop) depends less on the individual genius of lonely makers than on certain basic and profound shifts in communal consciousness and in the collective unconsciousness, which are probably basically determined by changes in technology. The development of the popular art is bound most intimately to change in technology. Think of the moment at which the Japanese invented (toward the end of the eighteenth century) a process that made it possible to sell color prints of actresses, prostitutes, and actors for the equivalent of a penny apiece to the audience. Think of the role played in the development of jazz, for instance, by the invention and perfection of the phonograph. Every time the technology of printing changed, the nature of the novel changed. When the making of cheap paper became possible around the year 1820, a new kind of novel came Supplement to The Spectr.vyiL into existence and a new audience for that novel. If we ever end up finally studying Pop Culture in any depth (and I have some reservations which I will state in a moment) the history of technology will play the role which has been played by the study of biography in illiminating works of high art, and we will need finally, if the enterprise is to succeed in any substantial way, to subtilize the study of technology, just as the study of biography was subtilized by psycho-analytical interpretations in-the post-Freudian and post-Jungian world. The study of technology will have to become, be framed in the form of, a mytho-history or a psycho-history of technology. And when we have written the psycho-mytho history of technology (I sound like Polonius; I’m sorry) we will have written a history of popular culture. Traditional aesthetics will be useless to us in this regard. Because all traditional aesthetics are elitist aesthetics. Even Marxist aesthetics are basically elitist aesthetics. Concealed in all evaluations, performed by traditional estheticians, evaluations which are framed as if they were distinctions between good and bad, is an underground or bootlegged distinction between high and low, which is to say between superior stuff which pleases a tiny few and ordinary schock, trash, junk which gives joy to the larger portion of mankind. No way In any mass society, whether it be capitalist, socialist, or any mixture of the two, such an aesthetics is impossible. We must be done with all elitist distinctions. The only author who is really useful to us in this regard is Tolstoy, but it turns out that Tolstoy is just an elitist standing on his head. You don’t solve the problem by turning it upside down and saying all the stuff which pleases a few is junk, including Shakespeare and Beethoven and Michelangelo, and Tolstoy himself (as the author ofAnna Karenina). The only stuff which is good is that which joins all of mankind together. I’m tempted by that It would be very simple for me and very satisfactory and make me feel very pious indeed, if I were to say that from now on I will concern myself with reflecting only on the art which joins everybody in the world together adults and children, men and women, naive and sophisticated, uneducated and over-educated but I’m not quite willing to do it, so all I leave you on this score are a series of questions. — — Discriminations What we have to do at this point is to work out a way of discriminating between good and bad, a way of saying persuasively why Love Story is bad and La Traviata is good, though both are pop works which deal with exactly the same theme. If I knew how to say that, I would feel as if I had come a little closer to the solution of this problem. We must dedicate ourselves for the next few years to ending the ghettoization of literature, which is built into all libraries and the giving of all book awards. I’ve just lived through, for instance, the granting of the National Book Award in fiction. It turned out to be impossible for me to persuade my fellow judges to consider seriously any work of literature which could be classified generically as science fiction. I have good news for you. One of the best writers of science fiction in the United States at the moment, which is to say one of the best writers of fiction in the U.S. at the present moment, Ursula LeGuin sneaked a prize as a writer of juveniles, an already ghettoized category that made it possible, and if you are juvenile be begin with, it doesn’t even matter if it is juvenile science fiction. But when Ursula LeGuin stood up, what she said was beautiful. In her acceptance speech, she said, “I hope this —continued on page 6— Friday, 18 April 1975 Dimension . Page five . �—continued from page 5— is felt as a prize not for juveniles but for science fiction, for all the fantasy literature.” The only way of rendering any sense of the reality of American life at the present moment is through fantasy. Our lives are indeed fantastic. It is not impossible to write fiction now. But it is impossible to write traditional fiction, the novel as high art, the novel as experimental aft, the novel as avante-garde, the novel as realistic art. Only schock science fiction, fantasy, can render our lives. To be dream awake • • • Rings If a visitor from Mars came down to earth and said to me, “Give tne a sense of what life in the United States is like at the present moment,” I would say to him, “Watch television but turn off all the regular programs and watch only the commercials.” Because in the commercials there is such free fantasy. Do you really ever look at the commercials? What happens in the commercials would be unbelievable except in a world as unbelievable as the one you and I inhabit. I am spending my time these days watching commercials and soap-operas on television, and reading the juvenile science fiction of Ursula LeGuin. I’m even writing science fiction. What I have said so far would seem to indicate that I am in favor of closing the gap and crossing the border which separates high literature from low literature, the mass audience from the elite audience, the privileged few from the underprivileged many. I’m in favor of crossing that border and I’m in favor of closing that gap, and yet what I want to say now, speaking with the other fork of my tongue, is that we have distinguished three forms of fiction from one another, three forms which are beginning to close together: popular fiction, art fiction, and scripture. We read literature in three ways. Scripture is not to be judged at all. High literature is to be scrutinized carefully according to elaborate ground rules called by the people who love to play those little games of aesthetics. And pop fiction is made to be judged on the basis of how well or how ill it sells on the market. fundamentally alters our sensibilities and our way of perceiving the world. It sends us out of our selves and the world. His term for it was “ekstasis.” If we judge literature in terms of “ekstasis,” we will know why Dracula is such a long-lived and such a successful and such a moving book and why it is now at the basis of cultural developments in America in a way in which no book written contemporaneously with it towards the end of the nineteenth century in England was. If we talk about “ekstasis,” I think we will also have to begin to talk about the archetypal or mythical material which is what, in fact, does produce “ekstasis.” As I said before, if we marry the study of myth to the study of technology, we will have the beginnings for a critical, historical approach to popular literature. A question That takes me to the end of the line, and the hardest question I have to ask myself. Is it worth doing at all? Is it good to do at all? Or is what I am tempted to do merely a last desperate expedient in which I am attempting to protect the value of the skills I have spent my life learning in a world in which they have become obsolete? 1 know that nothing bugs me more than to read some descendant of a descendant of let’s use a mythological name, Richard the original New Critics Porier, for instance trying to write about the lyrics of the Beatles songs in a kind of language which is absolutely inappropriate to it. I who love film know that the way in which most of my colleagues talk about film is really some place deep down underneath ridiculous. And some of the greatest film-makers have set into this. I’ve sworn an oath that any time anybody mentions the word montage any time in my presence I will go out of the room and slam the door behind me. If you want to know what I’m writing in the form of film criticism coming out of the closet at last; I’ve been a secret film critic for years you might take a look at a piece which I’ve just done on Russ Myer and Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. I wrote about the Immoral Mister Tease when no one was writing about Russ Myer. I am told and it touches me more deeply than any tribute I’ve received he keeps over his desk a framed copy of that first review. But that cheers me up. If in some way that gives him validation or a certification, I’m willing to spend my time doing these otherwise futile exercises. But if all I’m finally doing is feeding this stuff into the sausage machine of academic analysis, I hate it; I hate it. I’ve been asked a couple of times recently to come to conventions of science fiction writers, some of whom have become my good friends. And the question they keep asking me is, “Is it good or bad that there are now 2000 courses in science fiction being taught in colleges and universities up and down the United States?” And my first instinct is always to say "Bad.” But it helps honest men make a living, it puts bread and milk in the mouths of their children, not to mention my children, and I too am an honest man. - - - — — — — The long goodbye I think the culture religion, whose ultimate founder is Matthew Arnold, is at the end of the line now. I think that most young people who read nowadays not only make no distinctions between popular literature and high art but read all literature (that which they read at all) as if it were scripture. I think that the people who really read nowadays among the young people, and who write, respond spiritually to literature. And if we are to talk about literature in these terms, I think we must be done with two of the traditional standard attitudes toward understanding what it is that literature does. I think the distinction which separates scripture from high literature is not useful, and it is not useful for us any longer to think of literature as either instructing or delighting in any primary way. I think that the critic who must be our guide is Longinus, who says that when great literature really functions, when it really moves us, it moves us out of our heads and out of our bodies, out of our norma) consciousness. It — Language I guess I believe that the enterprise in which we are concerned is, or could be, might be, would be, a legitimate enterprise, if we could find the language to do it in. I think one of the problems of talking about the popular arts is a problem of finding language language which is not the one hand sniggering and condescending and defensively comic or on the other hand super-eminently respectable. I don’t want to feed into the process which confirms the essential totalitarian nature of the American university. I take it that a characteristic of totalitarian organizations is that under them everything which is not forbidden is required. And it would be ridiculous if we pass from an academic situation in which popular culture is forbidden to a state in which it is required. want to talk about popular literature; I've been trying for many years to do the same thing about the so-called classics of American literature those great disorderly, disorganized books; we have to find a kind of language which will take us as far as possible from that tone that rang in my ears as I grew up. That ex-cathedra! high-church magisterial voice of T.S. Eliot, that miserable man who didn’t even have Ezra Pound’s courage to be a fascist. I would have known what to do if I ever met Ezra Pound. I would have hit him as hard as I could and I would have picked him up and kissed him on both cheeks. But as far as Eliot is concerned, I have no notion of what to do with him except to use him as a horrible example to avoid that kind of voice. think what we have to invent is pop criticism which is to say that we have to invent a kind of criticism which is comic but not sniggering comic, defensive comic, but grand comic; cosmic comic, opening-up comic, irreverent, vulgar criticism which aims to do what popular literature and its absolutely naive, innocent, and blessed heart aims to do: to entertain the largest group of people possible, I like to think that even criticism can be entertaining and that if it is entertaining, it also can release people in the way in which great literature, whether it be pop or high, releases them into that kind of ekstatic state where they no longer recognize the difference between high and low, between real and fancied, between the dream world and the actual world. There has rung in my head for years and years now, as a kind of motif which has guided me, that the best way to tell the truth (it comes from Thoreau), is “to be in dreams awake, to be in dreams awake. think that is what pop literature does at its best I think that is what all literature does at its best, and guess I want to confess to you that it is my belief that criticism is not finally s sub-branch of philosophy called aesthetics. Or it is not objective and scientific. After all, criticism is a form of literature too and criticism can be like other forms of literatire, low and ekstatic at the same time. Somebody once said that the wonderful thing about the Semites is that they can stand in shit up to their eyebrows and that their brows will touch the heavens. I think that is what the popular tradition in literature does. — I — , I — I I Leshe Fiedler is the author of Freaks (a cultural study) and The Messengers Will ome o ore (a science fiction novel) as well as many other pieces on literature, CU}U e Se death, etc. Printed here is the text of an address he delivered at the Jnational meeting u third of the Popular Culture Association. * Page six . Dimension . Friday, 18 April 1975 *' Supplement to The Spectrum �by Alan Spiegel Film was a new fact for a modern like Faulkner, but for a contemporary like Nabokov it is already a given fact, one of the preeminent facts of the present cultural scene. If the cinema has not yet become the richest art of our time has not yet given us everything we had hoped for it has undoubtedly become the most popular art and possible the most influential. Nowadays it becomes increasingly more attractive for the other arts to play follow-the-leader with the movies and often to do so with hybrid results that can seem embarrassingly self-conscious and, on occasion, labored togrotesquery. The form of a great novel may indeed be like the form of a movie, but to write a novel in the conscious imitation of a movie may often only result in a kind of literary second fiddling, at attempt to do in one medium what can obviously be done better in another. — - As movie equipment becomes less expensive, it becomes easier for certain contemporary writers to do what their eccentric writing methods told us they should have been doing all along: telling stories with a camera. Joyce’s use of cinematic form virtually precedes his belated and ambiguous awareness of film, while Robbe-Grillet, as if in conscious recognition of the contemporary writer’s quandary, leaves off writing his meticulous imitations of camera set-ups in order to set up a real camera and make movies (e g., L'lmmortelle, L'Eden et apres). After all, if you want to describe physical surfaces with clarity and exactitude, the photographic image will not only do the job more effectively than words, but, as the ads say, will save you time and energy as well. Nowadays when nobody is anything if not a technocrat, it is obvious that some writers want to enjoy not only the aesthetic economies of film mechanics, but the wonders of it as well: arcane movie machinery like "dimmer banks” and “integral bipacks” doubtless have an hermetic and technological chic that the pen or the typewriter cannot hope to rival. Beyond this, it is almost too obvious to speak of the enormous sums of money associated with the movie business, or just as obvious, the size of the movie-going public itself which is, or certainly can be, commensurate with any writer’s most extravagant fantasies of power and exhibition. I suppose there is really no other way to explain why one of our most gifted writers, Norman Mailer, periodically abandons his good writing to make bad movies. No filmic intentions Most contemporary writers, however, who practice cinematographic forms have no intentions of making films. They practice these forms because it suits their expressive purposes to do so, and because the literature they have read and admired, the cinematic literature of the recent past, acts as both a formative context and stimulus for their own activities. The reason why this literature has come to be the way it is, has probably had more to do with changes in philosophic attitude and cognition than with the specific advent of the motion picture. One may even suggest, in fact, that both concretized literary forms and the modern passion for the film represent advanced expressions of the epistemology that we have been subtilizing and refining now for well over a century. We do not necessarily approve of our idea of reality, but can we live by any other? We now take it for granted that we cannot come to know or do a thing without first looking at it; that the meaning of what we see will be inseparable from the way in which we see it; and that no one acts in the world any more without awareness and forethought. Engagement without reflection, doing without knowing, has become in our time an unspeakably unnatural practice. Vet who of us would want to admit that this and only this is what we have come to? Many of us are still hopeful and buoyant enough to conceive of a culture of spontaneity, involvement, and rapport as something very like a lost paradise of the human spirit. We want to believe in an earlier, better, more “primitive” life as something more than an anthropologist’s dream, something more than some old wives’ tale that has survived the past to haunt the present because we know that we may disbelieve in this life only at the risk of total despair. The great tales and fables of Western culture have given us so many instances of cautionary advice about the perils of curiosity, self-consciousness, even ocular vision itself, that we cannot help but retain some notion of their opposites as equally viable attitudes. — Seen and lost When Psyche was visited every night under the cover of darkness by Eros, she took pleasure in her love as long as she could not see her lover. When she held a glowing lamp, the light of her sad enlightenment, above the sleeping body of Eros, she saw and knew the nature and object of her love, and in that very instant, lost it: the sleeping god awoke and vanished. The moment Psyche understood her experience, the experience itself became impossible, took a different and less satisfactory form never to be the same again. When the hunter Actaeon looked upon the body of the goddess Diana bathing in a .stream, the horns of his voyeur’s passion sprouted through the top of his head. Ravished by a rude eye, the goddess transformed the hunter into a stag to be devoured by his own hounds, analogues of his greedy, self-consumiog lust. Gods do not like to be looked at any more than they like to give them names (even Moses got mystification frorft'the Burning Bush), and the sacred will not tolerate too much human understanding of its forms and operations. When a mystery is seen and thus understood, it is no mystery; and the understanding of the sacred is its profanation. The fall of Adam and Eve, itself, is a fall from unknowing rapport and blind union with each other and their Maker and a fall into sad wisdom and open-eyed estrangement. Their story is a parable of human emergence into self-consciousness and a demonstration of two different kinds of knowledge. Before the Fall, there is only the subrational wisdom of affection where the exercise of the eye is diminished in the passion of one’s rapport with an object (i.e., spouse, garden, God). After the Fall, there are only strategems, tact, and forethought where the exercise of the eye becomes a function empirical and daily life a form of constant scrutiny For the voyeur In all the old stories, both Pagan and Christian, assertion of the conscious eye to comprehend the world results in the subject’s increased knowledge of and independence from its object, yet each effort also results in a corresponding decrease in wonder, harmony, and union. There is, of course, more in these tales than we have indicated, but I think the point is already clear: the way we live now represents the very forms and variants of the mental conduct for which the gods punished Actaeon, Psyche, and Adam and Eve. Our characteristic cultural activities and forms of entertainment films, T.V., a theatre of images, a concretized fiction emphasize the visual modality above all others because for well over a century now we have cultivated and enriched a spectator's idea of the world, a psychology of the voyeur, a philosophy and a feeling tone of the tourist and the isolatoe. We have held Psyche’s lamp high above the body of reality for so long a time now that it is hard to conceive of our daily lives in terms other than those of a kind of desperate, on-going scoptophilia. The loss of rapport with one’s world, the separation of the seer from the seen, has been one of the central assumptions of the fiction we have called modern for as long as any of us can probably remember. This assumption most often appears in the novel in either one of two forms: an — — interior form or a cinematographic form. In either of these forms we can discover the full panoply of characteristically modern themes and attitudes that result from a position of self-consciousness estrangement from the world: passivity, isolation, solipsism, memory obsession, relativism, disorder, terror, and nihilism. Modern hopelessness Not a pretty picture but then no modern reader comes to this literature, his literature, expecting pretty pictures. I once knew a woman who did not want to read modern literature not because she found it difficult, but because she found it hopeless. She could understand it well enough, but it did not make her want to live. I suppose we could say that this woman was reading fiction for all the wrong reasons, that one should not go to a book for “uplift” anyway, and that perhaps this woman wanted to find in modern fiction exactly what she could not find in modern life. But, on the other hand, we know exactly what she was talking about and that she was right: much of our best literature has been without hope. Still, many of us would no doubt find this woman’s complaining "old fashioned” not in her analysis of modern literature, but in the fact that she could still care enough to make a fuss about it. When we can tick off the themes and attitudes of our fiction as I have above like so many items on a shopping list, then perhaps the time has come for us to admit — — — — —continued on page 18— Fiction, film and the culture of estrangement — - Friday, 18 April 1975 Dimension Page seven . . , �. I'&i Gangsterfilms: the real family movies The gangster, is he is defined in the American film, is an urban being; the industrial offspring of the Westerner, who had been squeezed out of his environment the frontier by expanding civilization. In order to keep alive the mythical spirit of the a rugged and American male independent individual the gangster, even as the cowboy before him, had to adapt or perish. Much about the cultural implications of the gangster’s character is made clear when he is examined in relation to the female protagonists in the same films. Her relationship with the gangster, even when it is a romantical involvement, is usually representative of the cultural conflict of “Self vs. Others” which, expressed in many ways, is the basic theme of the arts in America. The Westerner developed in turn out of the early pioneer figure. Woman (that is, what she came to represent in the popular imagination) was nothing less than the very antithesis to the mythical male pioneer. Into the wilderness women brought with them manners, children, silverware in short, society and its responsibilities, civilization and its discontents, in opposition to the individualism and freedom which, in popular myth, characterizes the male frontier. In George Caleb Bingham’s ' painting, "Daniel Boon Escorting a Band of Pioneers,” a woman rides on a horse behind the hardy men who forge ahead into the wilderness on foot. Society follows on the very heels of the pioneer, eventually evolving into the familiar figure of Widow Douglas, who in Huckleberry Finn, symbolizes society’s oppressive restraint. (It is no mere coincidence that Twain’s book was written only five years before the American frontier was officially declared closed by the United States Census Bureau in 1890.) — — — — — Sexual conflict In much of American culture this tension between the individual and society is embodied in a sexual conflict Men came to , be against the law.

In Walsh’s symbolize unbounded freedom, by Barry K. Grant — — The Roaring Twenties (1939), Cagney would die on the steps of a church in just such an attempt. In this type of gangster film, the gangster seeks to establish a permanent relationship with a woman. But of course since his lifestyle embodies some values contradictory to hers, this relationship, usually depicted as marriage, was almost always doomed to failure. This sub-genre commonly concerns a story in which a man and a woman try to establish a life together even as they attempt to live outside the law. The classic examples of this type of film are Fritz Lang’s You Only Live Once (1937), which probably initiated the pattern, Nicholas Ray’s They Live By Night (1949), and Joseph fL Lewis’ Deadly is the Female (or,Gun Crazy, 1949). More recent examples and their popularity attests to the continued relveance of the genre’s themes include Arthur Penn's Bonnie and Clyde (1967), Robert Altman’s Thieves Like Us (1974), Terrence Malick’s Badlands (1974), and Stephen Speilberg's The Sugerland Express (1974). - — Both ways The men in these films and this is their tragedy if anything is seek to have it both ways even when the choices are unfortunately mutually exclusive: they want to be happily married and at the same time to live a life of crime; that is to say, to reap the benefits of the American way of life without accepting its responsibilities.

When a gangster chooses to live with his wife, as Ray Danton does in the title role of Budd Boetticher’s The Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond (1960), he returns to discover that his criminal emprie has been completely snatched away from him. In Penn’s film Bonnie can visit her family only furtively, while the entire drama of Speil berg’s movie centers around the attempt of the two characters to retrieve their own baby. If a child could be brought up successfully and normally, he would symbolize the legitimization of the gangster’s life-style, the synthesis of the values embodied in the gangster and the woman. Godfathers and mothers The concept of “thefamily” is the major theve and image in Coppola’s The Godfather, Part II. The film clearly shows that the Corleone’s very conception of the family is itself a myth, and perhaps this is made most evident in the scenes with Hyman Roth. The Jewish gangster is totally involved in criminal dealings, and it is a brilliant touch by Coppola never to reveal the face of Roth’s woman on screen. Women in general in The Godfather, Part 11 are reduced to the role of child-bearers. But the attempt on Michael Corleone’s life is made in his bedroom, the gunfire acting as a wedge between Michael and Kate Corleone. Kate is finally forced to leave the household after she has confronted Michael with the inevitable choice. He wants the children, and keeps them, but the sense of family is illusory. Fredo, one of the Godfather’s sons, is a traitor to the Family: a gangster’s child can never be brought up as a kid in a television sitcom. The urgent desire to maintain family in The Godfather, Part II is an expression of the Godfather’s desire to become legitimate, in fact an anguished summing up of the attempt of many movie gangsters before him. But it is the gangster’s tragic fate that as long as he is a gangster, he is condemned to live and die alone, without kin. In You Only Live Once, Henry Fonda is an ex-con who cannot get work and it is this that forces him to return to a life of. crime. In Ray’s film, similarly, Bowie remarks to Keechie that he doesn’t understand why he cannot have a home without working. On the bus to Las Vegas, where they get married, Bowie and Keechie are given a proxy baby (they tend another woman’s baby, as if to say that the only family they can Barry K.

Page eight . Dimension Friday, 18 April 1975 . Supplement to The Spectrum �Cannedfear: the horror movies by Bill Maraschiello they hope to generate. In identifying with the dramatic jeopardy, the hoped-for response is an emotional transfer a reaction to the observed danger as if our own lives/loves/identities were being threatened. It’s a gut reaction, a totally illogical one; its success depends on our being convinced that, in one way or another, the unreal events we see are happening, and that we are part of them. That’s the first stage. But the horror film must further disengage our credulity, since the happenings therein are not only strictly unreal, but centered on the impossible; they aren’t happening, and never could happen. At least, not by any criteria at our disposal. The creation of the Spectrum ArtsSTaff — No, horror and science fiction film has not garnered criticial attention approaching that given to practically every other cinematic genre. And, at first glance, it appears incontestably justified; a multitutde of the efforts in the field are quite dismal, and the clunkers do'Dfttimes clunk with an unusual vengeance. Every other classification of film is guilty of the same offense, yet this has very seldom been used to justify ignorance of the entire field. Who would damn The Maltese falcon because of Eddie Constantine’s Lemmy Caution epics, or Ford’s Stagecoach on the basis of the Bing Crosby/Ann Margaret remake? Can any number of failures, however diminish the numerous, achievements of the efforts which have done it right? The implicit quarrel is with what they have been successful at doing; not with aesthetics, as we may have believed, but with the end to which those aesthetics are the means. What is the purpose of the horror film? The object of the fantastic film is suspension of disbelief. The field, by its nature, must traffic in the “unbelievable” vampires, werewolves, living dead, the rest. Like any other type of dramatic work, it attempts to involve yoii in a separate milieu of setting, characters, and events. Usually, this involvement is manifest in a somewhat patronizing, non-crucial concern for the people in difficulty a primarily academic interest in how the situation presented will resolve itself. -* milieu must begin another step back; we must not only be persuaded that a suave mid die-European count has lived for centuries on human blood, but that we should admit such hogwash into our minds at all. On a primary level, this is achieved just as any other filmic objectives are; by skillful direction, photography, sets, and acting. But all of these tools draw (consciously or unconsciously) upon a source of great power: the emotion of fear. - Final jeopardy Both the horror film and the "thriller" share a-major occupation, with danger as a central factor in the kind of involvement Perhaps the most powerful of man’s basic impulses, it is also significantly the most dependent of them all upon irrationality; to fear, reason is anathema. It is primeval in its origins; in three million years, man has not outgrown his aversion to darkness, and need I mention the importance of darkness to the mood of the horror films? Man as mote The two things of which man is the most afraid are that which he knows can Cause him injury, and that which is beyond his comprehension. The mystical, the supernatural man must be subservient to these because they are beyond his and control. When understanding threatened by the unnatural, he must turn to these forces for whatever knowledge and defense he can gain. Indeed, the conversion of the staunch devotee of Logic In All Things to a more humbly open-minded position is a bread-and-butter turn of events in horror film. Factual analogy: in her review of neo-classis horror George Romero’s quickie, Night of the Living Dead, Pauline Kael confessed to an initial impulse to dismiss it as “undeniably the best movie ever made in Pittsburgh”; finally, however, she had to admit that it scared the culottes off her. “There’s no point in pretending that he [Romero] doesn’t have talent,” she concludes shakenly. As a critic, her reaction was disdain; as a human being, however, she found it impossible to fault the film’s effectiveness, and she is to be commended for relating to it on that level, to which a more elitist writer might not condescend. No one likes to be scared, at least not at that very moment. Yet we pursue experiences with that as their object. Some of us may seek to prove that we will not yield to those deplorable sensations, and probably feel a delicious, masochistic tinge of guilt when we do an additional spice. There is little conscious questing after a purgative of sorts, though that is a frequent result. — , — The lure of blood? That's a source of disgust, not of terror. Paul Morrisey’s Dracula is the bloodiest film I have ever seen, and one of the least frightening. Part of the answer is our presence in the most pragmatic age in the world’s history; if the phenomena that must still be classified as mysteries of the universe diminishes each day, those that still remain are to be cherished all the more. Even after Freud and Jung, we still revel in the wonder of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The movie house is an environment (contrary to the television, which is a piece of furniture). Shrouded in darkness, cut off completely from the outside world, the events set before us take on a mythical stature. The horror film tradition draws upon emotions and drives rooted at the very core of the human archetype, creating a myth from truly mythical materials. As the wolves howl, the Count intones “Children of the night what music they make!” If all you hear are high-frequency vibrations, you have lost from the beginning. — Bill Maraschiello is the co-producer of The Moving Finger on WBFO-FM.

Sam Spade —Private Eye by David Baezelon As an apprentice literary critic, my impulse was always to write about life-size fellows rather than to nibble at the giants. The figure of the rough and tough private detective or the "private eye,” as we have come to call him is one of the with our circulating-library knowingness key creations of American popular culture. He haunts the 25-cent thrillers on the newsstands, he looks out at us grimly from the moving-picture screen, his masterful gutter-voice echoes from a million radios: it is hard to remember when he was not with us. But he is only his prophet some twenty years old. His discoverer is Dashiell Hammett. His first detective stories, built around the nameless figure of the “Continental Op,” were published in pulp magazines Black Mask, Sunset, and the like. Hammet was one of a group of detective story writers who had begun producing violent, realistic material in opposition to the refined puzzles of the old hands. — - — — — Sam Spade Hammett must have felt the lacks in the Op, for Sam Spade in The the detective figures that follow Maltese Falcon, Ned Beaumont in The Glass Key, and Nick Charles in The Thin Man all represent attempts to give his character a more genuine human motivation. And this attempt to intensify the meaning of his detective was,also, naturally, an effort on Hammett’s own part to express himself more deeply. "Spade had no original. He is a dream man in the sense that he is what most of the private detectives I worked with would like to have been and what quite a few of them in their cockier moments thought they or approached. For your private detective does not colleague my ten when he was years ago did not want to be an erudite solver of riddles in the Sherlock Holmes manner; he wants to be a hard and shifty fellow, able to take care of himself in any situation, — - — - Supplement to The Spectrum able to get the best of anybody he comes in contact with, whether criminal, innocent bystander or client.” This statement of Hammett’s in his 1934 introduction to The Maltese Falcon could have applied equally to the Op, except that Spade is more fully realized. Spade differs from the Op primarily in the fact that he has a more active sexual motive of his own. This sexual susceptibility serves to heighten, by contrast, his basic job-doing orientation. So when Spade, in conflict, chooses to do his job instead of indulging in romantic sex, he takes on more dramatic meaning than does the hero of the Op stories. That is, a new, definite motive has been admitted to the public world, and its relations to that world explored dramatically. But Spade always chooses to be faithful to his job because this means being faithful to his own individuality, his masculine self. The point of the character is clear; to be manly is to love and distrust a woman at the same time. To one woman, Spade says, "You’re so beautiful you make me sick!” from life, his focus. If his emotions released their hold on his job, he would find himself adrift, without pattern or purpose. On the other hand, the job is not a substitute for obviously a form of living. This dissociation of the form of one’s life from the content of actual life-gratifications is symbolized excellently by the fact that the Maltese Falcon around which so much life has been expended and turns out to be merely a lead bird of no disrupted intrinsic interest or value. — — — — David Bazelon, who currently teaches social analysis at this University, has taught literature at Bard College and law at .

It is this situation in The Maltese Falcon, coming as the climax of Spade’s relation to Brigid O’Shaughnessy, that is the supreme scene of all Hammett’s fiction. Its essence is stated very simply by Spade as he answers the woman’s eternal “If you loved me you Brigid’s would . .’’ ”1 don’t care who loves who," he says. “I’m not going to play the sap for you.” In his great struggle with Brigid, Spade must either deny or destroy himself. Because of the great distance between his self (summed up in a masculine code grounded in job) and others whom he loves and does things for (women or clients), Spade is seldom able to act “normally” in significant situations. His choice is unless usually between being masochistic or sadistic he simply withdraws his inner sentient self from the objective situation. It is his job that so alienates him Appealing — — . — Friday, 18 April 1975 Dimension . .

I must apologize at the outset for what must seem, to colleagues unacquainted with the unprecedented difficulties posed by the material, an excess of scholarly caution. In fact, I have proceeded with all possible haste in dealing with a body of data that has proved, to date, resistant to study by canonical methods.

All three sites included large silver mirrors, figured to I ■ remarkable flatness, and scores of transparent bottles, lenticular in shape and of varying curvature. But the bulk of the contents of those granite vaults (immediately dubbed “archives” by the sensational press) consisted of some 75,000 identical copper solar emblems, in the form of reels, each of which was wound with about 300 meters of a transparent substance, uniformly 32 millimeters wide, that proved, upon microscopic examination, to be made of dried and flattened dog intestine. Little square images These strips are divided along their entire length into square cellular modules each 32 millimeters high. Each such square bears a hand-painted pictogram or glyph. The colors black (lampblack in a vehicle derived from the leaves of Aloe vera) and red (expressed from cochineal insects) predominate. There is seldom any obvious resemblance between consecutive pictograms. The draftsmanship is everywhere meticulous. The dry climate has kept everything in a state of exquisite preservation; it is expected that lamination in polyester, nowadays a standard curatorial procedure, will offset a slight tendency to brittleness in the picture rolls. Oxygen dating places their fabrication during the 8th and 9th centuries before the present era, with a margin of error of only four per cent.

Unique society What took place within these domes distinguishes the civilization of the ]N[ from all other known societies. They seem to have spent most of their time and energy in making and using the pictogram rolls, which were optically projected upon the walls. Sunlight, led doors by an intricate system of mirrors, served as the illuminant. Images were brought to focus by lenses of water contained in glass bottles. At what rate the projected images succeeded one another is unknown. What function this activity may have had is matter for speculation. The pictograms offer internal evidence that the projections served both educational and religious ends. Images of deities (if that is indeed what they are) occur with some frequency; they are depicted as human in scale, differing from images of the ]N[ themselves only in that their faces are without mouths, and their eyes, always open, are extremely large. I The pictograms clearly constitute a language. The semantic unit, however, is not the single glyph, but a cluster of two or more pictures which denote the limits of a significance; where there are three or more, the images serve as points defining a “curve" of meaning.

I believe that we can turn away from the cinema which began with Lumiere (using cinema to create illusions of non-filmic movement), and which developed through Melies, Griffith, Eisenstein, and so on up to today's Bergman, Fellini, etc., and we can ask a new set of questions which greatly expand the possibilities of the system. There is no doubt that there is a great deal of value in the non-filmic tradition of cinema, in the accepted descriptions of cinema as illusionistic representation and as ‘documentary,’ but any further developments of these areas, without acute reappraisal of their metaphysical premises, will lead most probably to mere elaborations and effete indulgences in a time of massive cultural transvaluation. This is not to say that cinema should be, say, 'non-representational.' Film, 'motion picture’ and ‘still’ film, unlike painting and sculpture, can achieve an autonomous presence without negating iconic reference because the phenomenology of the system includes 'recording' as a physical fact. And the linear-temporal physicality of motion pictures allows for a kind of ‘representation’ suggested by Barthes in his essay “The Activity of Structuralism’: "The aim of all structuralist activity, in the fields of both thought and poetry is to reconstitute an ‘object,’ and, by this process, to make known the rules of functioning, of ‘functions,’of this object. The structure is therefore effectively a representation of the object but it is a representation that is both purposeful and relevant, since the object derived by imitation brings out something that remained invisible or, if you like, unintelligible in the natural object. The structuralist takes reality, decomposes it, and recomposes it again something new is brought into being, and this new element is nothing less than intelligibility: the representation is intellect added to the object. . .

(Cinematics provides a means of creating powerfully direct perceptions, it is as fruitful an approach for the politically motivated film maker as it is for pure researchers. Godard has begun to understand this in new works such as One Plus One, where he seems to be cautiously moving away Andy Warhol had demonstrated in his early work that prolongations of subject (redundant, ‘non-motion’ pictures), because they deflect attention finally to the material process of recording-projecting (e.g. to the succession of film frames, and by way of consciousness of film grain, scratches and dirt particles, to the sense of the flow of the celluloid strip) it is perhaps as revealing of the ‘nature of cinema’ as is constant interruption of‘normative’ cinematic functions. At one point some artists felt that painting has evolved irretrievably away from ‘reference.’ Delaunay even believed that he was not only making ‘non-objective’ but also ‘shapeless’ (‘pure-colour’) paintings. Because his semantic culture set did not recognize, as we recognize today, that regularly bounded colour fields can be regarded as subsets of the concept‘shape,’he was unaware of the referential nature of his forms.

A method of empirically probing the cinema system, aside from looking at the system one part at from traditional narrative-dramatic moulds towards the sort of compellingly blunt recording style Warhol has invented. But these are not convincing examples for the truly radical political film maker because while Godard's films ‘contain’ political sentiments, they are not ultimately politically activating because they arc viewed not by the ‘masses,’who need to be activated, but by a gioup of persons who are no doubt already convinced of at least the possibility that a form of revolution is occurring. Truly effective political statements have not been made yet; however, the important experimental film makers working in Russia after the Revolution of 1917, by scrutinizing what they believed to be the syntax of film, came closest in making radicalizing to make distinctions between what is ‘non-objective’ and what is ‘symbolic’ and/or ‘referential.’ The arts It is interesting to consider some phenomenological differences between painting, music and film; in viewing painting our experience is changing while the painting’s existence is enduring; in music both our experience and the existence of the music are changing; however, in film we have a case where we can experience both changing and an we can look at the ‘same’ film as an endruring existence object, before or after projection (and it is not a ‘score’; it is ‘the film'), and as temporal process, while it is being — films.) —continued on page 12— Documentary and experimental film by Steve Osborn It is common and quite useful practice to perceive the history of i# ' / i/■ rA- Supplement to The Spectrum film in terms of schools or genres. Thus in documentary one speaks of the romantics, the Grierson school, “Free Cinema” and “Cinema Verite.” In experimental film one speaks of the trance film, the mythopoeic film and the structural film. While the educational utility of such a method, common to all art histories, is beyond question, it can be readily seen that the all-encompassing definition necessitated by such an approach can confuse as well as clarify. When one further considers that the laconic characterizations of films by critics using the same terminology greatly influences the public's desire to see, on open-mindedness when seeing, films, the necessity of correct analysis becomes crucial. The last decade has seen a fantastic growth of two apparently divergent styles of independent filmmaking; cinema vertie and experimental, each with a wide variety of substrata, permutation and labels. While the two would appear to have little in common, it is becoming increasingly clear to me that, while the stylistics are almost entirely dissimilar, the essential impulses of many of the filmmakers are very much alike. These ties are most clearly seen when comparing the films of Frederick Wiseman’ to the Pittsburgh Trilogy of Stan Brakhage. Probing the heat Both Law and Order, one of Wiseman’s earliest films, and Eyes, the middle film of the Pittsburgh Trilogy, deal with the institution of a big-city police force. The crucial phrase here is ‘‘deal with”; they attempt to probe the institution with a camera, giving their audience an insight available only through the medium of film. The pursuit of some kind of "truth,” be it subjective or objective, is at the heart of both films. Moreover, that truth stems from the actual sounds and, in the case of Brakhage, images alone. No voice of God is heard telling us how to see. It is only through the cogent formal manipulation of these raw materials truth can be made possible there is no shooting script and no actor to redo a scene. The filmmaker is in the same tense as his material and is continually confronted with real space and real time. The intent in both is one of de-construction, stripping away all but the essential, rather than one of re-construction. Wiseman and Brakhage, confronted with the task of filming these institutions, had a wide variety of formal strategies at their disposal to help them on — —continued on page 12— Friday, 18 April 1975 Dimension . .

This equivocality of object/projection is further complicated when we admit that there are occasions when we are looking at a screen and we don’t know whether we are or are not seeing ‘a film’; we cannot distinguish ‘the movie’ from ‘the projection.’ Let us say that the room is dark and the screen is white; we may believe that the projector may be casting images of a succession of clear-blank frames onto the screen, projecting not ‘light’ but a picture which represents motion (the motion of the strip of film being projected); so, unless we are in the projection booth and thus experience both the film as object and as projection, this ‘viewing’ would be incomprehensible. The unaware cinema Notice that in the normative cinema we neither see the motion of the film strip (unless the projector is ‘improperly framed’). The cameramen who shoot such ‘movies’ utterly and disdainfully ignore the frame structure of their medium; when the cameraman ‘frames’ a ‘shot’ he is thinking in image boundary abstractions rather than acknowledging the basic modularity of his image support. On the other hand, a film maker like Man Ray, in his Return to Reason, directs attention to the fact of film’s frame structure in his rayogram constructed passages where there is discontinuity from frame to frame. Brakhage, in Mothlight, allows the natural length of his in ‘subjects' to determine their duration on the screen the unforgettable passage where it seems as if a long thin leaf is passing us (rather than it seeming as if the camera is — —continued from page 11— Documentary and experimental film... their path to “truth.” The types of decisions that had to be made were voiced fifty years ago by Dzrga Vertov. "We set ourselves a broader task: editing, organizing, and joining together individual shots in such a way as to completely avoid falseness, to make every montage phrase and every creation in its entirety show us the truth.” Here, of course, is where Wiseman and Brakhage part there are as many company ways to attempt Vertov’s “truth” as there are filmmakers. In the case of Wiseman and Brakhage, one senses that the various formal devices are not gratuitous but rather the result of painstaking attempts to fully integrate the form and content. Though Brakhage, and Vertov for that matter, makes use of a much wider variety of cinematic devices than does Wiseman (slow motion, single framing, matting and lens distortion) the intent remains the same. — Seeing through another eye The crux of this question of style lies in the subject/object relationship in any given scene. If asked to describe what he is seeing through his viewfinder, Brakhage would probably begin with the phrase “I see a police car” while Wiseman might say “A police car them. He attempts, movie camera is in the street." The distinction is in hand, to become as integral to that one person’s object is the scene as possible. By opening another’s subject. The first makes himself up his reactions are us aware of a perceptual context, modified by those around him, the second with a physical and they by his. His camera talks context.

Birth of a Nation was based on Thomas Dixon’s novel, The Clansmen, and seethes with racism in its depiction of the rise of the Ku Klux Klan during the Reconstruction period. There will always be those, who, when looking at Birth of a Nation, in 1975, will condemn it for its blatant bigotry. Birth of a Nation is a landmark film because it was for this film that Griffith invented the iris, the mask, the vignette, the split screen, and triple split screen shots. The iris shot is used in the opening scene, with the aperture closed to a small hole. In the hole, woman and children are seen to be crying, as the hole slowly opens to the full screen. By vignettingj Griffith was able to subdue lighting around the edges and emphasize brightness in the center of the screen. Another technique he learned, and developed, was the use of “Rembrandt lighting.” Rather than illuminate the entire area so that everything could be seen, he created shadows in certain areas to set a solemn mood.

Perhaps each might profit by more closely examing the form inherent to the other's mode of perception. Putting something in Like Brakhage, Wiseman senses much more behind the camera than the viewfinder can show him. If a general sense of anger is in the air, he tries to evoke it by drawing attention to the facial expressions of those involved or quickly panning between the participants in the dispute. While this, in combinbation with the Sync sound, does reflect the physical manifestation of that anger, it does not really deal with its emotional aspects. Emotions run much deeper than facial expressions indicate. Perhaps by incorporating a disjunctive metaphorical image, or cutting the image out entirely, or cutting the sound out, Wiseman can reveal the —continued from • • page —continued from page 11— emotions of those involved and strengthen our impression of the scene while retaining its "truth.” Likewise, Brakhage would perhaps not violate his "truth,” if he were to make use of sync sound or draw more attention to the casuality of a given scene: too many synecdoches can often get in the way. Film is an almost infinitely expansive medium. There are always an infinite number of ways to do something. Wiseman, by limiting his shooting to an “objective” style, conveniently eliminates thousands of possible approaches. Brakhage does much the same by shooting only silent films. While one can certainly understand that neither one wishes to spread themselves thin, it would be an act of courage on their part to begin to deal with formal mechanisms outside of their present stylistics. If independent film wishes to more effectively deal with the world, and with its audience, it would do well to reexamine its schisms and expand the boundaries of its forms.

' — - - Supplement to The Spectrum �Amherst Campus media projects by Sparky Alzamora The creation and expansion of the Amherst Campus at the State University at Buffalo invites unique and exciting possibilities in all areas of learning. One such facet, relatively new in the processes of education, has been the establishment of a Center for Media Study which perpetuates the utilization of film and video tape for information and public entertainment. According to Gerald O’Grady, Director of the Center for Media Study at the Ellicott Complex, these media projects offer the as well as the University, community, surrounding flexible, “incredible, multi-purpose” programs that will enhance the arts, and facilitate educational opportunities absolutely are "We incredible resource,” said Mr. O’Grady,, who also serves as Director for the Instructional Communication Center (ICC) "and it offers citizens a chance to know the world of media. We offer the community more than any other department.” Unique department asserted, as evidenced by the remarkable number of movies that appear on campus. As a matter of fact, "we have the most impressive film screening program in the country,” he said. In particular, the University sponsors the Regional Film Project, supported the by National Endowment for the Humanities at the State University at Buffalo, which circulates a series_of ten films to the four regional areas of the SUNY system. Mr. O’Grady indicated that the Wide University Community on the Arts approves of this project which brings the schools in this region "the quality of film that they wouldn’t ordinarily receive.” The Regional Film Project includes film history (i.e., D.W. Griffith), documentaries, independent film showing in eight and sixteen millimeter, and foreign movies. Video land The Video film is another form of media with which the Center for Media Study is presently working. Besides teaching video techniques in the classroom, Mr. O'Grady described other ways that it can benefit the students at The Center tor Media Study has operated since last year and its Amherst.

In a text prophetic of so much in American life, Thoreau might as well have had television in mind when he wrote in Walden (1854): “The mass of men A stereotyped but lead lives of quiet desperation unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind.” Television, as it is now manufactured and prqmoted, is fundamentally a medium for the bored and confined, for those who elect emotional and intellectual limitation or who have had it thrust upon them: the ill, aging, and prolefed (see 1984). If this is not a popular attitude among McLunhanites and those who subscribe to “salvation by technology," it can be confirmed nonetheless by a random viewing of television. talk In watching three of television’s staples shows, situation comedies (sitcoms), and quiz shows it would be hard to disagree with The New York Times' Cyclops: 'Television is really an almost perfect recycling system, chewing up our personal lives, our private fantasies, and then feeding us on the waste product” and ‘They (quiz shows) are exercises in self-humiliation.” Given this situation, it is lamentable that there is such limited criticism of television. Except for Cyclops and John O’Connor in the Times, Peter Sourian in The Nation, Michael J. Arlen in The New Yorker, and an occasional commentator elsewhere, there is no ongoing critique of this most powerful medium of our culture. This excludes, of course, the promotional hype and commercial bound vacuities of T. V. Guide and the daily newspaper. .. - - School When brought into the university, television becomes an object of study for its function as an outlet of video-tape experimentation and not as a context of humanistic inquiry. Television becomes another sacred technology, like the computer, which receives support merely because it represents the ' 1J 1&g6%"urteen CimensiohVFYfclay, 18 April 1975 A T.V. critic would have little to offer, save contempt and sociology, under these conditions. 3. Because of production costs ($200,000 for each hour of T.V. "drama”), the medium is built for selling time. 4. The medium is intrinsically unaesthetic except in its use and creation of documentary form. When television tries to be “serious” or “arty,” it achieves flatness and pretnetiousness at once. In an effort to be dramatic to establish touchstones and television pushes hallmarks of human experience the personal and photographic intimacy (even beauty and depth) of the medium towards over-blown dramaturgy. When television violates its “mystique of plainness,” it goes wrong. The power of talk shows, however debased as conversation, reveals the effect of artless conversation upon the audience. Longing for community, we will listen, it seems, to any dialogue, and participate in any program resembling family or friendship. - — Screen In addition to talk shows and interview programs, television’s memorable achievements have been reportage: of sports, political events, lectures, and, of course Congressional Investigations. The McCarthy Hearings and Watergate will survive, I think, as permanent archives and authentic mythologies of national consciousness. Joseph Welch and Sam Ervin will ride the frequencies as long as their movie counterparts ride the range. The Congressional Hearing is to television what the .Gangster movie and Western are to American film: A native form of democratic art.

Hockey goes one step further. It must be seen to be believed. If you ever had doubts about the importance of television to professional sports in this country, consider this little dialogue between an associate of mine and one of my staff writers while they perused the morning paper. "There’s a story about O.). winning the superstars,” said the associate. "You had to tell me that,” said the writer, a little annoyed. “I wanted to watch it on television.” ‘You can still watch it,” said the associate, "But I wanted to be surprised,” replied the staffer. Now the associate, surprised that the writer had not heard the results on the radio, preceded to tell him all'about it. Steadfast, the writer would have none of it In time he was jumping up and down screaming "Don’t ruin it for me. 1 want to watch, I want to watch.” Now if you care to conclude that my staffer is a bit of a nut, you’d probably be right, but this incident proves that television has cast a nearly hypnotic spell over the American sports fan. Going on One could go on and on with a stream of statistical material, proving the importance of television, economically and otherwise, to the wide world of sports. But that wouldn’t be as emphatic a proof as a fan’s desire to watch something that has already happened, the results of which are common knowledge. The odd thing is that sports events are usually the only programs on television that are broadcast live. Games are merely a creation of men’s minds but their reenactment is just a little different each time. This element of surprise must be considered a major reason for the success of professional sports as a form of entertainment The marriage of certain sports, particularly football, and television, was surely made in heaven.

Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore promises something it does not deliver. It suggests a change; but the following conversation late in the film tells us that we have been had: Kris Kristofferson: “Want to go home? Or stay?” Alice: K.K. “Are they the sarne?” Alice faced with her straight man, indicates that melting as usual they are the same. The title implies, too, that Alice is being viewed from where she was, that is, from a distance (by the neighbor, for example, who early in the, film, is left far behind through tfie back window of Alice’s car). Of course, this is not the case: She is “Alice,” familiar, endearing, and where Alice now “lives,” thought suggestive of a hip lingo (where she really is "at," — — what she now is "into”), is where she always did. Rather than a (tenacious) statement, Cassavetes proposes a painterly title (and he almost except for Minnie always does and Moscowitz, the title of which in fact accurately 'reflects the weakness of the fiIm.the\facile, ingratiating eccecentncity of the mating of two incongruents, like an American Morgan ... which works): a description of a state, a situation produced and perceived in certain conditions. The central figure has the anonymity of a singular but generic universal, and, to prove to what extent this characteristic is not merely an incidental effect in the title, one need only pay attention to the way people introduce or are asked to name themselves in the film, the combination of humanity and the simulataneous recognition of human triviality, interchangeability, undefinability, displacement, fluidity. The condition is deliberately abstract and susceptible to multiple interpretations; “influence” of alcohol, lunar madness, a male world of force and performance, a female world of flux and caprice. Under, because it is something which is seen from beyond any specific point of view. In fact, below would be more like it, given the way in which all our pointed expectations are blunted and we are forced to follow the meandering psychological itineraries of now Mabel, now Nick (and in the crowd or group scenes, of one after another secondary figure), experiencing the repetitions, empty spaces, sudden encounters, reversals, disappearances, synchronically as they come to occur. The film is admittedly disagreeable at times laboring, cloying, vacuous, strident, obsessive like any excessively pervasive atmosphere corresponding to an emotional condition, produced by a psychological or physiological arrangement or derangement of the senses. On the other hand, like Mabel herself, although not always in phase with her, we cannot but be “under the influence.” - John K. Simon teaches film at UB.

In The Who’s original opera, one of the milestones of late-sixties rock, this sequence of events is touched off by little Tommy’s unwitting entrance into the scene of a murder his parents have just committed. Their shrieking insistence that “You didn’t hear it, you didn’t see it, you won’t say nothing to no one ever in your life!” so traumatizes him that he instantly obeys, albeit a bit more literally then either of them had expected. Subsequent visits to an amusement park hawker whose women has “got the power to heal you, never fear," a gypsy who cails herself the Acid Queen and promises that “if your child ain’t all he should be now, this girl will put him right,” and a doctor who, swears the father, “couldn’t remove his sorrow,” all prove fruitless. Only mirrors inexplicably affect him mirrors and, of course, pinball machines, which he operates with such incredible expertise that the local champion he deposes accuses him of playing "by sense of smell.” — - Ken Russell’s peculiar directorial genius shines most dazzlingly or perhaps blazes, for Russell at his best approaches the demonic when his subject matter is most grotesque. Working from material often so outlandish as to frighten away other filmmakers (not to mention audiences), he constructs scenes whose visual brilliance somehow transcends their moral and/or emotional ugliness. From the young lover whom we discover locked in gruesome embrace at the bottom of a drained pond in Women in Love, to Vanessa Redgrave’s hunch-backed nun seen in the throes of religious ecstasy as priest Oliver Reed is castrated onscreen in The Devils, and on through Glenda Jackson’s similar delirium near the end of The Music Lovers as she sinks slowly over a grating in the insane asylum’s courtyard while the hands of dozens of men underneath grab at her impatiently, Russell’s major works have always seemed to be almost obsessively concerned with freaks and freakiness, obscenity in every sense of the word and the obscene. These images are made to seem even more lurid by their setting; there is nothing Rape of the rock From this point on, the details of the about Father Grandet’s stately pre-hysteria Loudun or Tchaikovsky’s wintry Russia plot become increasingly ambiguous. with its fairy-tale clamor of sleigh-bells Tommy is suddenly cured in some which even hints at the horrors tucked mysterious way, somehow rises to the status of Messiah, opens up a Holiday away perilously close to their surfaces nothing, that is, if you are unfamiliar with Camp in which the recreational facilities the work ofKen Russell. are oppressively limited “Here comes Uncle Ernie to guide you to your very own machine," the Wizard sings to his Through the mill Tommy Walker, the pathetic ear-plugged, blindfolded and gaged "deaf-dumb-and-blind-kid” who followers and is overthrown even faster metamorphoses into Pinball Wizard and, than he gained power by an angry mob after a sudden Miracle Cure, Messiah .screaming, "We’re not gonna take you!

Over the bones of this tenuous plot were draped a double album of some of outrageous The Who’s finest music indeed, but neither long enough nor sufficiently clear for a feature-length film. So Ken RusseTl updated it 30 years, did a little rearranging, hand-picked an extraordinary cast, added some new material but never fear, purists, Messrs. Townshend, Daltrey, Entwistle and Moon were on hand at all times, and Townshend is even listed in the credits as Musical and, with the help of Paul Director Dufficey’s elaborate settings, fleshed out the skeleton into a visual masterpiece. All the old songs are there, as well as a couple of new ones by The Who (nowhere near the caliber of the originals, but they do help to clarify things a bit), but the addition of Russell’s work has transformed Tommy into a staggering multi-media story — — — — extravaganza. A modern Every star The several levels of allegorical significance and the symbolism Russell loads on top of them are annoyingly obvious, if not downright puerile. Tommy is religious satire of the most simplistic sort, emphasizing the gullibility and fickleness of his mob of followers, the opportunistic commerciality of their ministers, and the innocence and naivete of the figure at the center of all the hysteria. The analogous situation of the rock superstar the second level of meaning comes to mind immediately; the intended “rape" that Tommy’s listeners scream of can be understood as the typical singer’s exploitation by managers, promoters, record companies, fans, and so on ad infijiitum but, devastating as all that may be, “forgetting” is certainly the worst thing any audience can do. Russell’s brilliant casting becomes extremely significant at this point, and — — — Supplement to The Spectrum leads us down onto a more deeply psychological level. Tina Turner’s Acid Queen, Elton John’s Pinball Champ (until Tommy comes along, that is), and Eric Clapton’s Preacher (the film’s equivalent of the Hawker), to name only a few of the most obvious examples, are terrific not just because of their performances, but also because of the trenchant self-parodies the director has gotten from them.' Turner is the Queen no one else could possibly caricature her as grotersquely and perfectly as she does herself and John’s eighteen-inch heels, rhinestone-studded glasses, and customized pinball machine with its built-in piano say more about the star himself than about the bit part he plays. And remember the band and album Blind Faith, so named because Clapton et. at. expected us to buy on exactly that? Although he stays relatively aloof, walking sedately down the aisles of his church and refusing even to let us watch him play the guitar which dangles in front of him (appraently more a part of the ritual than a functional musical instrument), he needs no help in establishing his credentials for the role of faith healer. Smile for the camera These singers are, of course, all playing themselves; we know it, they know it, and Russell milks his gimmick for all it’s worth. Turner half-leads, half-drags Tommy up the long staircase to her room without , ever seeming to notice he’s there; after dumping him on her bed, she races up to the camera and, with her nose about an inch from its lens, wriggles and mugs her way through her big number. Even the crowd of extras cheering and hissing as Tommy and the Champ battle it out in the “Pinball Wizard” sequence seem to be as excited as they are simply because the attractions onstage are Elton John and The Who, with their guitar-smashing and drum-crunching provoking the usual hysterical reactions, their involvement in the story which they’re supposed to be acting out is no greater or less than that of the "actors” themselves. They are almost reminiscent of all those “studio audiences” at television game shows who wave wildly at the camera as soon as they realize that it’s zeroing in on them. Just being there, and letting everybody know it, are three-quarters of the fun. Can they top this? Another production could easily have been smothered to death under the weight of such a collection of colossal egos, but the grander scope of Russell’s own vision apparently made him encourage each star to try topping all the ones whose scenes had been shot before. The result is a dazzling series of vignettes, held together by the performances of three tremendous leading players Ann-Margaret (the Mother), Oliver Reed (her lover Frank), and Roger Oaltrey, the perfect Tommy. Russell’s screenplay demands that Reed act everything from vaudeville-style slapstick comedian to genuinely worried father to romantic hero, and his seemingly boundless sheer energy (as well as a very good measure of talent) make his tour de force of a performance into the histrionic — —continued on page 18— Friday, 18 April 1975 Dimension Page seventeen Vi InqA 8i ,-fsbhH nx>iaa$miQ nss}xiz sp, . . . . �Fiction, film —continued from peg* 7— that these words no longer move us to vigorous response and that now we would like to know what else is new in the world. We have heard these words (or words like them) reiterated so often for so long that now the very perhaps all our lives sound of them only provokes a familiar numbness: who wants to hear this schoolboy’s codification of contemporary anguish all over again? Who even wants to hear again our recognition of the acknowledged origins of this anguish? Industrialization urbanization, a debilitating nuclear technology, the loss of a unifying structure of value and belief, and so on, and so on. Is this litany any help at all? Where we are now seems so far from where we have been that I am not at all certain that it helps os any longer to know how, we got there. How does one go back? To what does one go back? We have lived so long with a literature of estrangement indeed, within the conditions of an that it is virtually estranged life impossible for many of us to know what it must have been like to live with some other kind of literature, some other kind of life. What is new, then, about bur present situation is that we no longer worry about the fact that we used to think it was awful. If we thought our condition to be worse than it is, it would no doubt begin to get better. The fact that it does not begin to get better tells us that things could get a lot worse and that the way we live now has become easy to endure. If we have any new problem at all, then, it is that we have learned to accept our old problem: our suffering has become a bore even to ourselves. - — — - • Old fashioned hope Too cynical? Perhpas. After all, one should realize that any body of thought that has been absorbed as thoroughly as the content of modernism is bound to lose some of its force. Besides, that lamenting woman was responding to modernism as such, and in this, too, she has again proved herself to be “old fashioned." In the past thirty years or so, we have seen the rise of a new body of literature with a new theme and a new attitude. We call this new literature "post-modern” and its new Tommy'... equivalent of the director’s visual pyrotechnics. He sings, dances and makes faces at the camera alongside of the best of them, while his '‘straight’’ scenes, like the amusement park sequence in which little Tommy first discovers the strange power of the mirrors, confirm his status as one of the screen’s best and most versatile actors. His dizzying virtuosity is balanced by Ann-Margaret’s calmer and more tender, but equally fine, portrayal of Tommy’s adoring mother, struggling with the constant pain of his father’s murder and "always accused by his empty eyes.” Her love has an edge of desperation to it her drunken hallucinations as she watches the triumphant Pinball Wizard stare sightlessly from the television sceen in her bedroom are at the center of one of the film’s strangest and most unforgettable scenes but her acting shows total control over an extremely difficult role. — — Wizardly work It is Daltrey’s Tommy, though, who consistently steals the show (at least from everyone but Ken Russell). He is onscreen almost constantly after the first half-hour, when he takes over for little Barry Winch, and his incredibly blank face somehow manages to brighten everybody else’s scenes before the Wizard himself becomes a star and several of the very best sequences are his alone.

Many important novelists Bellow, Ellison, Mailer, Roth, in Malamud, Doris Lessing, Jean Rhys spide of the most recent tendencies jn fiction, still provide us with characters and a relatively traditional narrative line. On the other hand, the symphonies of Stravinsky are clearly of less interest to the musical public than are his mixed-media offerings (like L’Historie du Soldat and Oedipus Rex ) and Schoenberg’s lone opera Moses and Aaron gets far less critical attention (and fewer performances) than his hybrid compositions for voice and chamber groups. A Warhol or Lichtenstein is often described as “camp” or "in a minor mode” while abstract expressionists are still "serious” and “very much in the mainstream.” Bellow gets labelled "old guard” while the latest work of Thomas Pynchon, according to the current press, advances the novel "beyond Ulysses. art - - - -* ” There to use Perhaps an'y artistic form once established is always there for the artist who cares to use it who can believe deeply enough in the ideas embodies in its form but perhaps this form is not always there for the collective consciousness of a developing, changing culture. Forms, then, do not “die." “Death” is just our way of speaking, the metaphor we use when a form shifts position from the center of the cultural consciousness from the center of critical concern, of media attentiveness to some less eminent position tangential to the center. At this moment, the novel seems to be in the process of changing its position in the cultural regard. The new novel is both one cause and symptom of this process; in this sense, it is a novel of transition. It is also probably one indication that from now on all new novels except perhaps for the very greatest will matter a great deal less to us than they did in the past.

Daltrey obviously loves his rock dream of messanic martyrdom watch the expression on that angelic face as he sings “I’m a sensation!!” and his enthusiasm is highly contagious. All of the usual nonsense we have come to expect from the Master of Excess is in strong evidence here the twin motifs of polished steel balls and polished mirrored surfaces are repeated so often in so many different ways that we almost expect the screen to curve inward and roll away in a blaze of reflected light at any moment and the Christian symbolism which is so obvious from the beginning continues past mere redundancy into silliness. (Yes, they are capital "T ’’s, but do the wooden icons which Tommy’s followers eventually use to destroy their machines have to look so much like crucifixes? That image should have gone out with The Graduate.) But Russell’s Tommy is an instant rock classic, if not a cinematic one; and, as awesome an experience as this should be for the uninitiated, it will make it as impossible for Who freaks to envision any other Tommy, Cousin Kevin, Uncle trnie, or whoever, as it is to imagine a replacement for Gable’s Rhett Butler or Bogart’s Sam Spade. — — — — Rand!

The Great Waldo Pepper, while only a few weeks old (still an infant by anyone’s calendar), Tooks to be a product in the McDonald’s tradition of big aify buns, lots of snazzy wrapping paper, quick service (almost too quick), and minimal, fatty meat. Pepper has the same kind of quick-and-easy mass-cult appeal as a McDonald’s Burger. And had Robert Redford, Pepper's star, never made it in the movies, he would not have been half bad as Ronald McDonald. They both have such winning, insincere smiles. Only Redford’s isn’t painted on or is it? What’s true in the mass food industry only holds to a point in masscult movies. Even though ‘‘silver dollar" may soon be a phrase describing the burger’s size and price, it’s pretty clear that one big reason for McDonald’s popularity is its relatively low cost. Like the burger, Pepper is trashy but it’s expensive trash. Pepper costs about the same as or in some cases, more a good movie, and yet people keep than spending their bucks on Pepper. That’s a bit like paying a flat food charge, being given the choice between dining at McDonald’s or the Ritz, and choosing those golden arches. — — - Silence Another in a string of director George Roy Hill's movies, Pepper is a Redford vehicle calculated to bring in the suckers (and their dollars). If it fails at this, it won’t be because Hill wasn’t trying. What’s wrong with Pepper is, really, what’s wrong with so many American films these days. A scene near the start of Pepper inadvertently outlines the problem. In it, Redford as Air Ace Waldo is seated in a movie theater watching an old, silent adventure movie. To impress a pretty young woman, he begins predicting what will happen to the hero of the silent film. Waldo: That was a mistake shouldn’t have taken offhis gun. Woman: Why? ... He own there isn’t even any pleasure in experiencing the movie’s visual magic. The big plane You’d imagine, wouldn’t you, that a film about a WWI flying ace including much footage of bi and triplane aerial tricks would have to be exciting? That's the reason I went to see it, anyway. Consider those old planes and their shaggy dignity as they trace tense outlines against a" muddy sky; two animal adversaries stalking each other in a private dogfight. Probably, the uncut, original footage of planes in the air taken in preparation for Pepper would have been somewhat interesting. But in the film itself, that footage is chopped up and cluttered with shots of minor characters watching the airplanes and gasping sentences that fall under the generic heading of "What will happeri~next?” Instead of a sense of power and danger, we get gratuitiously-placed exclamation points, like the ones you see at the end of comic book sentences. The big apple Outside New York’s Ua Rivbli theater, the crowds I saw pressing the police lines in order to get a glimpse of Bedford and Paul Newman, (his son has a small role in ... Woman: Why? Waldo: Arabs behind those rocks. Well, as it turns out, Waldo’s right about the gun he’d probably seen the silent movie before. Now with Pepper the problem is that as you sit there seeing it for the first time, you fed that you’ve seen it already. You can figure everything out: how each scene will play, what it will look like, how the dialogue will sound. And even if you’re momentarily surprised, it’s a type of surprise that doesn’t mean anything. If the story situation leads you to ask, "Will the hero fly and land his airplane safely?” it doesn’t matter much whether the flight is a safe one or not. Both eventualities satisfy the same plotty expectations in an audience. And, since the scene is bound to be shot in the hyper-clear Hollywood style with all the action going on at dead center of the screen so as to leave nothing for the eye to discover on its own there isn’t even any pleasure in experiencing the movie’s visual magic. - them. How can advertising bring films so far from being artful and entertaining? All of us Sincerity some would say obsession is found, these days, in its purest, most visible form in small, dogged, political groups. The single-minded fury of the White House clique that led to the Watergate situation is not all that different in degree and kind I won’t say purpose from the passion of the prisoners at Attica, N.Y. and their spiritual, unimprisoned “kin.” On this campus, the organizers of the Attica “events” really wanted everyone to see Cinda Firestone’s movie Attica (Attica Productions, Inc.) when it played here this semester. They wanted the film to play uninterrupted, to impress us with its critical message of prison reform. They also wanted viewers to make a contribution in a money-can at the front of the viewing — — — — room. While I would in no way want to suggest that the campus-event organizers were insincere or money-grubbing in their sentiments, I would say that in being caught up in the mixed motives of a) putting the film on the screen, and b) collecting money in the can, they lost sight to let us see of the program’s objective — Pepper is “a more important, a more personal (!) film than either of Director George Roy Hill’s two earlier smash hits, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting. I’d say it’s just the reverse. Sundance was, at least, entertaining and The Sting, while a cheat and a bore, had a nice poker-playing scene with Paul Newman. In Pepper, Hill deserts all intentions of being an artist He and screenwriter William Goldman coldheartedly simplify and, thereby, debase human thought and emotions. And as the generations reared on such pap begin reacting to life situations by echoing these simple thoughts and emotions, we had better duck. All of us.

Sharp, loud publicity is perhaps useful when its object is beautiful; and even when its object is a bad movie you’d like to think that the ads don’t effect the film. But sometimes, the publicity tricks can and do effect the quality of a movie. It seems no accident,that Hollywood has such masterful publicity campaigns in so many cases, and such awful films to show for - - the film so as to acquaint us with their struggle. Because of this confusion, this carelessness, the can was placed in the way of the screen so that it blocked a portion of the film’s image. It was distracting and self-defeating. I’m entirely aware of how picky this sounds; still, the very fact that the organizers of the campus event completely overlooked the money-can (and would probably still say that this point is idiotic) shows how far they were from understanding the importance of and being concerned with the very film documentary they selected to present. In Hollywood what apparendy happens is that that metaphorical money-can becomes bigger and bigger until it’s all the and it’s all they want producers can see us to see, too. They fill their art with junk so that people will come to see it. Movies seem to be like responses to projected publicity campaigns, instead of having it the other way around. The artist’s intentions as sincere as those of the Attica kin become obfuscated by commercial considerations until they reach the final abyss television where the shows are planned to ‘be crammed in between the commercials. Making a movie that sounds good to prospective patrons replaces making a movie, that is good. It’s easier to do and less of a personal failure when you don’t succeed. In the ads for Pepper Times critic Vincent Canby is wrong when he says that — — — — — Supplement to The Spectrum tries to be positive, yet even he had to ask his audience, “How much time do people spend trying to do something about General Motors?” The answer is painfully obvious. If this is true in a case as clear as this, consider how much harder it is to get anything accomplished by writing on film. The dangers to the public in bad films are more subtle, harder to detect, and I think more devestating, ultimately. It becomes increasingly hard when the public is more willing to listen to the ads than to the critics and their own better natures. And this is even more complicated when you’ve got bad critics confusing matters. When film critics and that’s what we are, we Film Dimension contributors come to write on movies, it should be with a genuine understanding of and affection for the form’s possibilities. I think that most critics and even most moviemakers must have had this love, this passion, initially or else .they wouldn’t have been drawn to considering the form. The trick is to maintain this high level of passion for the theoretical options of cinema in the face of the garbage one finds in so many actual Hollywood messes. Otherwise, a mediocre writer or director as Hill was a few years ago just gets worse. “A movie, like any other work of art, must be made,” said critic James Agee, “for love.” — — - — — — — — jay Boyar Is an Editor of Film Dimension and an Arts Editor for The Spectrum.

I find it very discouraging that the Chairman of the Faculty-Senate has so little respect for the students of this University and for the efforts of one of the few groups which is actively attempting to involve this University in the pressing political problems that surround us. Mr. Hochfield accuses the members of College F of diminishing the dignity of the struggle of the Attica brothers by comparing their oppression to the situation of students at this University. I wonder whether Mr. Hochfield is as aware of the extent and nature of the oppression experienced by the Attica brothers and as actively involved in trying to combat it as the members of College F who he accuses of being so insensitive. These people have discussed the issue extensively in classes and at open meetings held at the College, participated in a program which involves regular visits with present Attica inmates, and supported Dacajeweiah and Charles Pernacalice by demonstrating at the courthouse. By pointing out similarities between the conditions of U.B. students and Attica inmates, the authors of the College F statement were certainly not claiming, as Mr. Hochfield seems to think, that the psychological and physical constraints upon U.B. students are as extreme and severe as those upon Attica inmates. They were asserting rather that there are certain basic mechanisms of authority and control which effectively limit the freedom of both students and prisoners to develop their full potential as creative, thinking, and feeling human beings.

When I say that students’ freedom is limited, 1 am not talking abstractly.

There are many such students and they are very frustrated and dissatisfied with the general fare of education and the saucity of viable alternatives, here or at almost any other university. It is discouraging to find that in Mr. Hochfield’s opinion, such feelings are “petty resentments.” It is also indicative of the legitimacy of students feelings of powerlessness and anomic that this opinion is that of the Chairman of the Faculty-Senate and that Mr. Hochfield has consistently acted in accordance with this viewpoint during his tenure in that body. Witness his staunch opposition to those Colleges who are attempting to escape from a rigid academic formalism and his recent veto of a meeting between Student Association and Faculty-Senate members to discuss the possibility of greater student involvement in tenure decisions. These actions and the opinions expressed by Mr. Hochfield in his letter exemplify the difficulties facing those people who are trying to change the educative process at this University to one which is more responsive to the needs and interests of the people who make it up and to the demands of the urgent political problems of our The State University of New York at Buffalo, April 15, 1975 “Are you going to graduation?” I said. “I don’t believe in that traditional, boola-boola, pomp and circumstance bullshit.

We, the Buffalo Musicians’ Collective, would like to take this opportunity to thank The Spectrum for its sense of responsibility, sincerity, and community interest. On March 20, we had submitted a short letter to the general community through The Spectrum announcing pur formation, describing our formation and goals, and inviting the community to our organizational meeting. We had been told that the letter would be printed. It was not. On March 30, we submitted directly to the Editor, a short article restating our philosophy and inviting all those interested to our second meeting on April 3. We were told that the article would be in Wednesday’s (April 2) The Spectrum. It was not. We find The Spectrum to be esteemed company with these actions: the Buffalo Evening News Courier Express, and Ethos have also chosen to suppress promised announcements of our meetings and statements of our existence. Without media support, there can be no connection between our organization and those that would be part of it, if they knew of our , existence. We do not wish to fall prey to paranoia but it seems that we are being ignored. It also seems that the “liberal” news media are merely organs of the entrenched power structure and thus, tend to serve those that will not disturb the status quo. The best way to suppress a foundling alternative organization is to ignore it. The Buffalo Musicians’ Collective will be working to wrest economic and artistic control of our lives from the hands of this fossillized University and from the reactionary commercial scene with its tightly controlled clubs and agencies and corrupt union. The oppression and exploitation of the musicians and general community will soon end. We are in the process of creating an energy center where the musicians and community can connect and interact for mutual benefit. We hope to attract musicians and other interested persons from all parts of the city. The Collective plans to provide a clearinghouse for all available resources. There will be a center where musicians can meet and play and where workshops, seminars, classes, rehearsals, and performances will be held. Also in the works is a printed newsletter that will include a directory: available services including instruction, repair, and legal help; and news relevant to the musical community. We will be presenting a series of concerts of all types of music and community dances. Donations will be requested at our events so that the musicians and the Collective can survive, function and grow. Our first concert will be held on Friday, April 11, 1975 at 10 p.m. at the CEPA Gallery at 1377 Main St. and will feature two works. One is a group interaction piece by Charles Kaufman based on the awareness of the sounds of our immediate environment. The other work, “Sprouts,” by Elliott Sharp is an exploration of orchestrated improvisation within a composed structure and will feature violin, various wind instruments and 8 "8 O) 8 o s percussion.

Early in the working of the new Constitution, 1 brought my committees basic ideas to the Assembly. I wanted ideas, comments and criticisms from the Assembly concerning the basic concepts that had been worked out. A few people tried to talk about the issues, but were constantly interrupted by people criticizing the fact that I had brought the Constitution up before the details had been finalized. I also held four workshops during the conceptual stage of the writing of the Constitution. I had a total attendance of two. I later held four workshops so that I could fully explain the new Constitution, which also had a total attendance of two. There was certainly no lack of effort to try and involve the Assembly, and to gain input at all stages. It would appear that what is being criticized is the lack of an Assembly veto over the new Constitution rather than a lack of opportunity for the Assembly to bring out. Bruce Lange of the S.A.

How they carefully the differences are: the “free” versus the “unfree;” manipulate the lives of the people who live there, to the “guilty” versus the “innocent;” the “good” suit their purposes? And aprticularly, will the proposed instructor in the course, The Planner of a versus the “bad.” George, I consider it a part of our common nearby New Town, be able, herself, to make such humanist tradition, a responsibility I accept, to criticism given the obvious conflict of interest?

At this point, George, you jumped up and divide us all from each other: “gentile”’from “jew;” “believer” from “pagan;” “foreigner” from “native;” vehemently objected to my question, demanding that the Chairman rule it out of order. Why is such a “intellectual” from “worker,” and so on. This means that we build solidarity among question “out of order,” George?

The question was raised as to how much input the to provide input. 1 see no reason why the Assembly should possess a veto over an issue that is going to referendum. Input definitely, but surely not dictatorial powers to veto. Concerning the issue that Student Government will have less student representatives under the new system, this might indeed be true, 'but instead of having people that are merely interested in making decisions, the people involved in the decision making process will already be actively involved within the University community. As I see it, the old system had the cart before the horse. To Jon Burgess, I apologize. The contradiction, concerning the ability of the student body to amehd the Constitution, was a mistake. The intent of the Constitution was to give the student body the right to amend.

Reiss Spectrum Staff Writer The track Bulls will be sprinting over to crosstown rivel Buffalo State this Saturday at 1 p.m. for the Big Four Meet with Niagara and Canisius. With the Big Four athletic conference set for operation in the fall, this meet promises to become a high point of the spring track seasons of the future. The Bulls figure to be very strong since they beat Niagara and Canisius last weekend at Fredonia. Concluding a disappointing road trip with Metropolitan Conference teams, the Baseball Bulls lost a heartbreaker to the Redmen of St. John on Monday, 2-0. Buffalo tost three of the four games.on the four-day trip, giving them a record of 2-12, including the games in Florida. The loss was especially tough for Bull pitcher Mike Dean. Dean went all the way -in the losing effort, pitching a four hitter. It was clearly the best performance by a Buffalo pitcher this year. Dean, a junior, threw only ninety pitches all game as he walked just two batters, compared to 27 by the Bulls’ staff in the previous three games. Even in his worst inning, he delivered only fifteen pitches. St. Johns scored the winning run in the first inning as a result of a Buffalo miscue. With shortstop Dave Restin on second and two outs, Dean got the Redmen’s Bill Scala to pop the ball up. However, Bull shortstop Jack Kaminska, who had been enjoying a fine season defensively, dropped the ball, allowing Restin to score. St. Johns scored its second and final run in the sixth when catcher Ron Tyler tripled home Restin who had walked earlier. The game was of quite a different nature than those which preceded it on the road trip. The first two games against Fairfield and the victorious match with LIU were high scoring contests. No breaks Against St. Johns on Sunday the pitching came through but the Bulls’ bats were silent when they needed it the most. Everything they hit seemed to be right at somebody as they left ten men on base. Twice they drove St. Johns outfielders to the fence with long Buffalo coach Bill asserted that teams make their own breaks and that the Bulls did not make any this time. The Bulls’ rebuilding process, according to Monkarsh, is coming along well. “We are more together now than we have been in a long time. We could break out any time. It’s good to see this kind of progress.’! Buffalo’s hitting, as expected, has been outstanding. Junior Bub Amico and sophomore John Mineo are both hitting over .400, Rick while Wolstenholme is hitting a torrid .475. Defensively, the Bulls have been improving gradually since the Florida games. The infield, playing together for the first time this spring, has worked out as well as could have been expected. However, pitching, which according to Monkarsh is “90 percent of college baseball,” still is the key. Although it has improved over the last two games, it must continue this trend for the rest of the Bulls’ season to be successful. fly balls.

Friday, 18 April 1975 . �GIF by Bruce Engel Dr. Ketter’s letter concerning the future of athletics has the potential to destroy tfie program. But if considered as a move to eventually produce a workable three to five year plan, than it might by the best thing that has ever happened to athletics. Dr. Ketter has set forth a plan .that he is not wedded to and wants challenged. Yet his proposals are sufficiently strong to stimulate (if not scare) people Into some serious discussion of the issues. Two problems money and professional pride have been threatening the program for quite a while. The difference now is that these issues are tied together in a unique way. According to the proposal, students pay the coaching staff and athletic director. The two heavy questions are; Can the SA afford this? and Will the professional On one level, - - coaches work under these conditions? Ketter’s proposal would take $60,000 out of the student budget for inframurals and recreation, but would add to it i portion of salary lines that probably total in the neighborhood of $200,000.The result is the total separation of intercollegiate athletics from intramurals and recreation, which is certainly desirable. It is obvious that students, no matter how much they" back athletics, could not afford to provide that much more money than they do now. But before we go off half cocked, claiming that the cost of coaching would be prohibitive to SA we should keep in mind that the students would have $60,000 to play with from intramurals and recreation and that no one knows how much money would be needed to hire coaching personnel. Presently most of the coaching, staff is on salary from the state as teachers who are allowed to substitute coaching time for a portion of their required teaching hours. If they decide to keep both jobs under two different employers, no one has yet determined how much they should get as coaches and how much as teachers. Now for the vital question, will the coaching staff, who have been upset enough that students control their budgets, be willing to" work directly for SA, even through the Vice President of Student Affairs? The preliminary answer is an outright no. These people have Courts filled Tennis reservation ‘racket’ at Amherst Bubble attacked Members of the University community who tried to reserve a tennis court at the Amherst Bubble have met with several difficulties other than the lack of space. Steven Schwartz, Director of Student Affairs, has received numerous complaints by people who say they tried unsuccessfully to make reservations either in person or by phone at 4 p.m. Reservations supposedly are not accepted before 4 p.m. but the complaints claim that all time slots have somehow been reserved by that time. “I don’t allow my staff to make reservations before four,” said Gary Sailes, director of the Bubble. “If I find them doing that I throw them (the reservations) away.” Sailes also reported that by 4:05 p.m. on most Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, which are the days for reservations, all of the courts have usually been reserved. Court hogs Bob Rauch, a student who has tried repeatedly to reserve a court, complained that people who have 4 p.m. reservations just keep asking for the same time slot. Since they have to show up to play, they make the reservations then and there, and in this way, monopolize the 4 p.m. slot. Mr. Rauch also noted that faculty members occasionally take the courts for their own use without reservations. There were also conflicting reports over why the Bubble had to curtail its operating schedule last week. The official explanation, according to Mr. Sailes, is that an informal survey was taken to determine when the heaviest use occurred. The survey found that it would be unprofitable to leave the Bubble open from 3—4 p.m., since so few people used it then. The Bubble was also closed on Saturday and Sunday evening for the same reason. No fewer hours Mr. Schwartz, on the other hand, claimed that the assistant equipment managers at Clark Hall were fired, and to retain their services, the students had to pick up the tab. As a result, there was less money available for the Bubble, so its hours were shortened. Mr. Sailes denied that the Bubble’s closing was due to lack of funds. Nevertheless, members of the Bubble’s staff have reported that their working hours have been cut more than the facility’s hours of $$$$ — operation. families. They need steady jobs and they desire the security of staying in health education should it split from athletics. And their professional pride might not let them work for students directly. On the other hand, it would not be possible for the school to employ all the coaches as teachers only. There isn’t that much teaching to do. The next logical move is for the coaches to look for jobs elsewhere . . . Rest assured that some of them are doing that. But this is no time to be looking for a job. One more factor leads me to believe that the coaches might just reluctantly work for SA if it came to that. While their security is in teaching, their egos are into coaching. Furthermore Dr. Fritz has claims that other schools have setups where coaching salaries come from student monies, which might alleviate some of the fears. Ketter has made it clear that SA would hire the athletic director and that he would hold that post and that post alone. Presently Dr. Fritz holds the more than full positions of Dean of the School of Health Education and director of athletics. It is not possible for one man to do both things properly at one time, and Fritz has, in fact, had to farm out a lot of his administrative duties. It is unlikely that SA would want to hire Fritz as its athletic director, which is probably fine with him at this point. But it might be hard to find a Qualified director, who would take a job with so precious little security. Two major portions of Ketter’s letter can’t be considered likely at this point. There is no reason to believe that the trustees or SA would support a separate athletic fee or a fixed portion of the student budget going to athletics every year. Nor is it likely that the state will fund intramurals and recreation, but Ketter’s not counting on that anyway. It is a good sign that he is willing to consider taking this expense out of the general University budget. The best thing about Kettcr’s letter is not what it says, for there is a lot that is both vague and potentially dangerous. What’s good is that it does say something. It does provide the proper parties with a starting point in meaningful discussion. And it strongly attacks the vital issues, something no one has had the courage to do until now. The best part is that Ketter’s silence on athletics is finally over, for it will take action if the problems are ever to be solved.

No. 78. Interdisciplinary major to focus on social sciences by Clem Colucci Special Features Editor The University’s first Faculty-wide Major program has won provisional approval from the SUNY Board of Trustees, two years and several revisions after Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) Dean Charles Ebert first endorsed the concept. The Faculty of Social Sciences and Administration’s Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Program in the Social Sciences will begin accepting students next programs were chosen because of demonstrated student interest and faculty strength in the areas. He estimated that there are currently 35 Specail Majors in Urban Studies and 20 in Environmental Studies. The number of pre-law students is in the thousands. The Faculty Major program was designed for students whose semester. Political Science Professor Clark Murdock, Director of the program, said the degree-granting programs have been organized around “substantive problems from an interdisciplinary focus.” He said the curriculum would probably prove more popular than if it had adhered to the original concept of offering various introductory core courses (for example, one sociology course, one geography course, one political science course, etc.) in the different social sciences. The first three programs to be offered will be majors in Legal Studies, Urban Studies, and Environmental Studies. Dr. Murdock said these Dr. Clark Murdock educational needs were not being served by the traditional departmental identification. Currently, any ■ student who receives DUE approval can pursue a Special Major in a field of concentration not offered at this University, but Dr. Murdock said some students were reluctant to lose identification with an established program. The degree in Social Sciences would be “a more marketable degree,” he explained. A formal program would be better able to attract resources, Dr. Murdock explained. Departments would be more willing to lend out faculty for courses in the Social Sciences program without as much fear of losing enrollment in the departments and thereby losing funding and justification for extra faculty lines. A formal program could handle administrative problems students in Special Majors encounter, Dr. Murdock continued. It would also be more effective in convincing departments to offer courses now offered infrequently, he explained. If the Urban Studies program, for example, gets enough students, the Economics Department would note increased demand for its rarely offered Urban Economics course and perhaps offer it every year. Isolated students with special majors could not prove to a department that sufficient demand for a course exists outside the department, but a formal program could. One of the most appealing aspects of the new program, said Dr. Murdock, is the possibility of close cooperation with the Colleges. Rachel Carson College and the College of Urban Studies are already working with the undergraduate social sciences program in their areas of expertise. If the first three programs prove successful, others will be created, Dr. Murdock noted. Such programs as American Political Economy and Society and Technology will be considered if demand appears great enough. Faculty reaction has been favorable so far, said Dr. Murdock. Many of the courses in the program involve joint teaching, which most teachers find stimulating. A teacheT who covers the same basic material year after year, although he may keep up with the latest developments in the field, eventually becomes stale. Teaching a course involving material outside a teacher’s speciality is considered good for breaking out of a rut. The most exciting new work in the various social sciences. Dr. Murdock pointed out, results from someone applying techniques and insights from another discipline. Responding to criticism that the planned programs appeal too much to growing pre-professionalism in American higher education, Dr. Murdock said the Legal Studies program, which would be most likely to attract pre-professional students, is not a pre-professional program. It will increase a student’s ability to get into or succeed in law school, he insisted. The other programs are more subject to that criticism, Dr. Murdock said, but “the functions of a University are changing.” He called it “needlessly purist” to disdain programs that are less strictly academic. If a less academic program meets peoples’ needs “that’s all for the better,” Dr. Murdock argued. The future of the program will “depend completely on student interest,” Dr. Murdock emphasized. Since the program was approved only recently, few students know about it, but Dr. Murdock said many students have seen the big sign outside his office and stopped in to ask about it. If the program attracts students it will be able to attract money and other resources. The program is starting small, Dr. burdock surmised, but he expects it to expand in the next few years to meet student needs. Informant served on defense FBI Attica infiltration exposed A 26-year old Buffalo woman admitted Saturday that she infiltrated the Attica defense and reported back to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on legal strategy planned for the former inmates who were indicted in connection with the 1971 prison uprising. The disclosure came shortly before Governor Hugh Carey announced the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate allegations that evidence of illegal activities by law enforcement officers were covered up by chief Attica prosecutor Anthony Simonetti. Ms. Cook acknowledged her FBI involvement in a press conference at the Statler Hilton. “I have a big mouth I said a lot,” she declared. She said she had reported to her “control agent” on the activities of the Attica defense during the long jury selection process. She informed him of the defense’s legal strategy, which she helped prepare. In Washington, an FBI spokesman confirmed Ms. Cook’s involvement with the FBI, acknowledging that she “has furnished evidence to the Bureau on a confidential basis for which she was paid.” The spokesman asserted, however, that Ms. Cook had “at no time furnished to the FBI information on the Attica defense.” — Encouragement Ms. Cook, a former graduate student in Catholic existential literature, was accompanied by lawyers and members of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War, who have been in consultation with her since she revealed her FBI activities two weeks ago. Ms. Cook was hired originally by the FBI to infiltrate the veteran’s group, but she said that her pay from the Bureau increased when she.began furnishing information on ,the Attica defense. She said her contact, Gary Lash, seemed very pleased, and encouraged her to continue supplying the information. Ms. Cook admittedly worked as an informant on both groups from June 1973 to October 1974. In another Buffalo news conference, William Kunstler, one of the lawyers in the Attica defense, announce; that he had submitted a motion to State Supreme Court Justice • Gilbert King, for an evidentiary hearing based on Ms. Cook’s information. Ms. Cook would not say whether Dacajewiah (John Hill) was one pf the defendents about whom she had informed, but indicated she would willingly testify at any court hearing. Dacajewiah and Charlie Joe Pernasilice, who were defended by Mr. Kunstler, were convicted last week of murder and second degree assault, respectively, in the death of prison guard William Quinn. Dismissal sought Mr. Kunstler feels the court should dismiss the convictions if Ms. Cook’s information proved valid. “It’s the same as Wounded Knee or Ellsberg it should be dismissed on the grounds of government misconduct,” he said. Ms. Cook’s admission came less than a month after Douglass Durham, a confident of the activist American Indian defendents in the WoundedKnee case, revealed that he had been a paid FBI informant at the timeof that trial. The defendents, also represented by Mr. Kunstler, were cleared of all charges. Unlike the Wounded Knee case, which was tried in a Federal court, the Attica prosecution is a state-wide matter. Mr. Kunstler was fearful that information conveyed by Ms. Cook to the FBI could have filtered down to the state prosecution, but conceded that no evidence could be found of such a link thusfar. A spokesman for the Attica prosecutor’s office, when informed of Ms. Cook’s statement, said: “If we receive any motion papers, we will of course analyze them and make our reply in a judicial forum.” — ‘No such informers’ At the beginning of the Uill-Pernasilice trial, the defense had asked the court to determine whether FBI informers had been utilized by the prosecution. This move was described by Mr. Kunstler as “a proper maneuver.” In response Jo the,motion, a representative of Mr. Simonetti’s office filed an affidavit asserting that agents in the FBI’s Buffalo office had said that “there are no such =5 5 informers working on any basis.” Ms. Cook said her major involvement with the Attica defense began in December of 1973, when she worked on the jury selection project. At the time, she was living with Ivan Makuch, an informer for the Bureau of Criminal Investigation for the state police, and was closely associated with Sidney Barring, a sociologist and lawyer, who was a coordinator for the Attica defense. Ms. Cook’s project concerned massive canvessing of people in Buffalo to establish criteria for jury selection. Mr. Barring was one of the creators of the Jury Survey Questionnaire, which was the basis for the selection of jurors in the Bill-Pemasilice case. �Schwartz to resign as Dean of Law and Jurisprudence by Kim Weiss Staff Writer Spectrum »> *t treatment —i. *■ > a oil slicks.

He said the administration’s funding has made it possible, over the past few years, to expand the student body frdm under 600 to 740. The library has grown to 200,000 volumes and is still progressing, and the faculty has expanded by specific “quality,” and any company that discharges nutrients into that body is prohibited from upsetting that quality. Federal joining in The federal government has also become active in the fight water pollution by against establishing the National Permit System in 1972, which mandates that any company discharging nutrients must obtain a permit. The company is allowed a specified amount of time to adhere to the permit’s conditions, if necessary, by building or improving its sewage treatment facilities. Bethlehem Steel has been “very cooperative” in complying with its permit’s conditions. The giant corporation spent $12 to SIS million in 1970 to build seven water treatment plants, according to 3 WQC spokesman. While the exact costs of the operation were not disclosed, Robert Allen, engineer of assistant fuel Bethlehem Steel, claimed that the company spends “many millions of dollars,” The permit system, which was designed to build and upgrade mM new treatment centers, along with the Federal Water Pollution Acts of 1968 and 1970, which prohibited .the discharge of specific pollutants into surface waters, effectively eliminated a great deal of industrial water pollution.

But while approximately $16 billion was allocated by Congress to fund the International Joint Commission, eight billion was impounded by former President Richard Nixon. The late President Lyndon Johnson was alsd accused to withholding money. In a U.S. Supreme Court battle between New York State and the federal government, New York maintained that the Executive could not legally impound funds appropriated by Congress. At the end of last year, however, the state won the court case and the eight billion dollars was restored. Three-fold agency The Great Lakes Laboratory has substantially influenced the establishment of arti-pollution measures. The lab, which is funded by the State University of New York (SUNY), along with federal and private agencies, employs research concerning water pollution and its biological, chemical, economic, legal, physical, and social ramifications. Recommendations by the lab have resulted in investigations of polluters and subsequent legislation. The lab was also instrumental in enforcing the phosphate ban and regulations against drilling for oil and gas in Lake Erie. Research is also being done on more sophisticated analytic tools, such as the absorption spectrophotometer, examines samples by them and passing a beam through the flame. This exposes the elements which burning of light process in the sample as well as their quantity. "The real crime of the pollution problem is that we do have the technology, but enough is not being applied-,” Dr. Sweeney said, adding that “If we add up the cost of pollution abatement (reduction) and contrast that with the benefits of commercial fishing, recreation, etc., we’ll find the benefits of pollution abatement far exceed the cost.” PHYSICAL THERAPIST Sat.

The programs of clinical training have also been supported by the administration. Dr. Schwartz reported. Dr. Schwartz is also proud of the law students’ achievements. They have played an important part in proposing policies for academics, budget, appointments, admissions, placement, and faculty-student relations. Students have also consistently contributed to the evaluation of teachers, he said. Dr. Schwartz cited as a mark of success a recent survey of the 1974 graduating law class which found that 89 percent of the class members who were contacted were employed in law-related positions. Dr. Schwartz added that continued efforts by faculty, students, and administrators should guarantee progress toward what tys been described by the American Bar Association's Council on Legal Education, as "one of the most promising futures of any law school in the country.” ' cleans up Lake Erie Lake Erie was Although termed a “dead lake” only a few years ago, it is now considered the cleanest of all the Great Lakes by the U.S. Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). Much of the improvement can be attributed to DEQ. Organized to research environmental problems, DEQ has concentrated on eliminating pollution in Lake Erie’s tributaries. Water Quality Control (WQC), a subdivision of DEQ, is now Richard Schwartz ~ Control of tributaries Spectrum Gratitude shown In a recent letter to President Ketter, Dr. Schwartz expressed his gratitude at having worked with a faculty which has “devoted itself vigorously and concentratedly to the strengthening and development of the school.” A hallmark of Dr. Schwartz’s tenure has been the development of clinical training programs. One, the simulated law firm, “has aroused national attention as a means of relating analytic classroom studies of law with the world of law practice,” he said. The faculty has also begun, during this time, several projects which utilize interdisciplinary methods of study. Among these are the Law and Education Center, the State and Local Government Law Program, the Program for Training Lawyers as Criminal Justice Specialists, the Sea Grant Program, and the Law and Development Faculty Seminar. r'\ —— ; by Fredda Cohen Richard Schwartz will step down from his position as Dean of the Faculty of Law and Jurisprudence when his five year term is completed next year. He will remain at the Law School as a full-time professor. Dr. Schwartz, 49, explained that he is neither retiring nor resigning. He said he is leaving because another five years as Dean would “divert my attention for a long period of time from my ongoing research in the fields of law and sociology.” Although he was able to teach and develop research while holding his present post, Dr. Schwartz said he could not participate fully as a scholar. Dr. Schwartz is enthusiastic about the Law School’s long-range prospects. He said -he would hesitate leaving his post if he thought that it would jeopardize the work his faculty has done so far.

If 30% of the student body sign petitions, an election would be held to choose the bargaining agent. The union that receives a majority would be the agent. Since the U. Mass board includes two student trustees, the organizing project is hopeful, but doesn’t expect an answer until next fall. Money for the union project came from the student government, which still figures in plans for a unionized campus. “The student government will probably continue to exist after unionization,” said SOP coordinator Nesta King. “It could still allocate funds, but it doesn’t have the membership base to collective bargain.” King expected that when a contract for students is bargained with the administration, a role for the student government would probably be written in, just as many faculty union contracts guarantee certain faculty senate rights.

Tripartite trouble If either the U. Mass or Stockton unions arc allowed to bargain, they will still face a situation that makes many bargainings experts cringe: bargaining. To get students, faculty and administration to agree on a contract would be an impossible chore, they say. So far, both student union projects have initially set their sights on bargaining separately with faculty and administration. The Stockton group already has a contract with its facultysunion, and the U’ Mass groups is keying its efforts on an administration-student contract. Rachel Carson College Summer coursework tries to ‘recreate’ community by Steve Milligram Staff Writer Spectrum Students enrolled in a special Rachel Carson College (RCC) summer course will work with the community to determine what areas of Buffalo are in need of recreational facilities. The course, “Environmental Internship,” will incorporate both classroom and field research, according to Geography professor Barry Lentnek, the / course’s instructor. Participants in the project will draw upr a questionnaire which they will distribute to the community. Once research is completed, the students will prepare a comprehensive report following federal guidelines for requesting aid to establish outdoor recreational facilities. The course is approved by the city administration and all results will be submitted to the Department of Human Resources and Urban Planning. deteriorating, Buffalo may eventually lose a large part of its population. His plan is to build recreation areas in abandoned, vacant lots, thereby utilizing them and increasing the property values. Citizens of a particular area would determine what facility would benefit them the most, and no more than six to eight blocks would be designated for the project. Information will be prepared along governmental guide lines on a benefit cost ratio the number of expected visitors to the site per dollar expended, annually. Shooting a moon Dr. Lentnek believes that one major problem encountered by urban planners is that, “they shoot for the moon, instead of starting small..He maintained that a small, relatively inexpensive group of outdoor recreational facilities would enhance the neighborhood and encourage people to remain, while drawing newcomers to the area. “Buffalp is burning down, so why not take advantage of it,” he said.

Wednesday, 16 April 1975 called the Elmwood community, which extends from west Main Street to Elmwood Avenue, and north from Allentown to Delaware Park. The Elmwood community will encompass all various socio-economic classes and individual groupings within the area will be set up so they may obtain the most advantageous type of facility. Possible facilities include "tot lots” for children under six years old, playgrounds, outdoor game areas (capable of supporting anything from basketball to hockey) and parks for the elderly. Another alternative is parking lots in areas where there is limited available parking. However, Dr. Lentnek pointed out that the choice will be up to the individual neighborhood through information obtained in the study. The greatest expense is the actual cost of acquiring the site. Construction and maintainence of the facility should be minimal, Mr. Lentnek indicated. The course is a true integration of the University and community and students are needed for the course to be effective.

After many years it is discovered that the official has been gathering the information into personal files and passing it on to an agent of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) several times a year. An Orwellian fantasy or typical practice on university campuses? In this case it is a true story, involving Dan Gasher, director of University (St.Louis) Medical School News Bureau, who for eight \years tollected and passed on information to the CIA, A often without the knowledge or J consent of the faculty members involved Gasher said he was Mr. motivated by concern over student unrest in the late 1960’s. The reason for the CIA’s interest in the travels of professors, he explained, dealt with their attendance at meetings and conferences where they would come into contract with communist scientists and might have access to information of value to national security. The CIA, FBI, city police and university security have all at one time or another been reported to be undertaking covert surveillance of students and professors, often actively working as saboteurs or posing as students. This practice of surveillance was recently ruled an invasion of privacy and a violation of freedom by the California Supreme Court. The decision was the first test of a academic voter-approved amendment to the state constitution which added the “right of privacy” as an inalienable right. on city campuses. The case came to court after UCLA history professor Hayden V. White charged in a suit that LA police have been posing as students and sitting in on his classes. Dr. White said the undercover officers used their presence in class to gether information abwut politically active students and faculty. Although the California decision concerned only the concept of surveillance and not ■ specific instances of it, there have been numerous examples of such intelligence gathering nationwide. At Berkeley, the university police have admitted that campus police tape political rallies, take photographs of rally participants, gather names and phone numbers of rally organizers and collect leaflets, handbills and media reports of political activities. University At the of Pennsylvania, the university security office has kept files on several area groups which may disrupt campus events. At the Los Angeles Trade Technical college the president has admitted bugging a meeting with students in his office. At George Mason University (VA) local police have been accused of infiltrating anti-war rallys to gather political intelligence and of distributing police badges and credentials to CIA agents. In the past it has been the CIA that has garnished the student spy headlines. A shocked academic community learned in 1967 that the CIA was covertly financing the National Student Association (NSA). The agency defended the funding by arguing that without American support students would have been unable to attend foreign communist and financial Soviet-dominated youth meetings represent to an American the viewpoint different from communist line. The implication was that the CIA was interested only in the foreign aspect of NSA and did not involve themselves in domestic intelligence. That issue has reared its head however, with the publication of The CIA and the Cult of Intelligence by Victor Marchetti and John Marks. In The Cla Marchetti says that when the NSA'story broke, CIA director again, Richard inquiry Helms called for an on the role of CIA involvement on campuses and asked his staff to find out just how many university personnel were under secret contract to the CIA. A report came back a few days later “listing hundreds of professors and administrators on over a hundred campuses.” The attraction on the campuses, according to Marchetti, are foreign students who can be recruited as espionage agents. Many universities have large a foreign student populations large number destined to return to their homeland and hold high government positions. — Foreign students were easy to recruit in this country, said Mr. Marchetti, because they need money foreign and because security forces cannot interfere. He then described the usual recruitment process: “To spot and evaluate these students, the Clandestine Services (a branch of the CIA) maintained a contractual relationship with key professors —Santos Attack prompts look into tighter security numerous campuses. When a professor had picked out a likely candidate, he notified his contact with the CIA and, on occasion, participated in the actual recruitment attempt.” on When contacted by the College Press Service. (CPS) about these allegations, a special assistant to CIA Director William Colby stated that the practice was “news to me” and that the Agency would have no official comment.

What this means in the real world is that Rogoffsand his cast have taken fragments from two dozen of Shakespeare’s plays and let their imaginations run wild with them. We thus are confronted with Don Vito Corleone advising his son Michael, “Neither a borrower nor a lender be;” Othello as a rabbi being analyzed byspsychiatrist Iago;and a Rosalind Russell Cleopatra committings suicide not with an asp, but with a Big Mac. These are random examples, more or less, but indicative of the kind of craziness that runs through much of Bride. The result is charming in two ways. First, there is the marvelous shock of merely seeings the Shakespearean chamber music being given Spike Jones treatment. More importantly, a moment of discerning viewing reveals how well this seemingly crazy quilt does in fact fit together. These scenes haven’t really been taken out of context, only out of again traditional context. A new context has been created which, on its own terms, is just as valid as the proper one. - — ‘ ‘ ’ ’ Labels diversion; BrideS makes no poin morestellinglysthan that thesivords find their own strength, and don’t need to be labeled by chapter and verse to retain meaning. Bride is also something of an essay in the creative use of grotesquerie. The painted clouds Vanessa James festoons her set with would be appropriate for a third grade production of The Littlest Angel, but for the presence of a jukebox and a coke machine: the Seraphim Bar and Grill, perhaps. The only possible way I could meaningfully communicate the genius of Michael Pelonero’s sequence at the end of the first act would be by quoting Lord Buckley on the subject of “sick” art/humor: “You say to yourself, ‘That’s no longer funny.; but if you proceed further, you find out there’s a whole new strata. Humor goes in a complete circle, like the world.” My point is not that Michael’s it’s probably sequence is funny the most serious moment in the entire evening but that he pursues the seeming perversity to the point where it touches the most basic human roots, cf. Tod Browning’s Freaks. - - Kudo I had qualms about mentioning Michael specifically, because anyone who doesn’t know at least half of the cast personally will probably be incapable of identifying anyone by name. That shouldn’t be interpreted as a slight; the general level of performance is quite high, surd everyone in the cast accomplishes something special during the evening. Bride is easily one of the most consistently well-acted plays I’ve seen done by the Buffalo Project/Theater Department.

I dor know. Someonestold messhe had a very bad cold and almost didn’t go on. I still don’t know ifsthat excuse holds with me. Music Editor I arrived at Kleinhans late last Tuesday night. I figured Eric Andersen wouldn’t be all that thrilling, I was really only interested in seeing Maria, and besides, the guy giving me a ride didn’t give me much choice. Eric was in the middle of his set when we walked in. He had a bass player and lead guitarist with him, and the sound was very pleasant, very mellow, you are your eyes can’t getting sleepy . .. stay open let’s go downstairs and get a drink. . .. Seriously, although the Canadian folksinger is renowned for his soft-flowing, sensitive songs, unless you’re really into the lyrics (which I wasn’t), it’s hard to get into his act. The tone of his voice is ok, but it sounded like he was putting all his energy into staying on key, and 1 couldn’t help squirming a little. Of course, his back-up was very good, and that certainly helped the sound. No support Marie Muldaur wasn’t that lucky. She told us at one point in the show: “This is my new band. We’ve been together a whole week and I really get off on it,” I’m glad she did. The band consisted of two guitars, a drummer, a keyboard man, and a girl on - harmony vocals and acoustic guitar. First off, the mix was atrocious. The lead guitars, except for the piano player more often than not, drowned out all the other instruments. And, player. Bill Finnigan, the fcand gave Maria none »f the support her frail voice required. • Even Amos Garrett, oneaDfsthe lead guitarists, who has played on her (and many other people’s) albums, played like the fingerboard was Greek to him. His leads weres sporadic, unrhymic, amelodic, and in general, very weak. The girl, (I think her name was Kerry Milligan), although she had a pleasant enough voice, acted like the only stage she had been on previous to Kleinhans was in Mr. Finny’s bam: her nervous moments did little to put mesat Gifldish charm Maria’s success in the music world has never resided in her vocal ability as suph. People like Bonnie Raitt, Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, you go to see their vocal pyrotechnics. With Maria, you’re lucky if she hits the notes on key. But that’s part of her charm. Every song she sings, you sit there, plugging along with her. When she hits a clinker, you groan and squirm. When she hits a good note, you smile and say, “that’s my little girl.” Because she has that sincere, childish quality, sort of like how your parents felt watching you perform in the high school orchestra. But there were a lot of clinkers and amazingly few good strong solid notes coming out of her mouth that night, and after awhile, the charm disappeared. And part of the problem definitely was that she had to be so concerned with keeping the band playing together that she couldn’t concentrate on her singing. I wonder how this whole thing came about. Certainly the men at Warner Bros, could have gotten her more competent image. Thankfully, although she did some prancing around the stage in her tight jeans and translucent linen blouse, she kept that below the level of the obnoxious. ..And now, a few words of praise. Two of the best performances of the night were her renditions of songs from the forties: “Lover Man (Where Can You be)”, the old Billie Holiday standard, and a very romantic Duke Ellington mood-piece: ‘Prelude to a Kiss.” These numbers seemed to be really close to her heart, and she gave up got all night. _. , trying to improvise, or lead the Perhaps the point of all this is band, or be personable, and just concentrated on singing the songs. simply that the atmosphere was The best qualities of her voice: it’s wrong.

But in a place like Kleinhans, where people come to sit quietly and be entertained, Maria Muldaur just didn’t have what it takes. Of course, that’s only my feeling.

If anyone should realize how important back-up is for her fragile talents, it would be them. “Tenessee Mountain Home” was a good example. On the album, the song succeeds on-the basis of its sparkling mountain sound (fiddle, mandolin, etc.) and the full sounding four-part harmonies. Although Maria played a passable fiddle solo in the beginning of the song, the band was just not there and the two-part harmony of Maria and her blonde friend was very weak — in comparison to the recording.

There being many large puddles about the place, they waddle from one puddle to another, checking out the bottom of each one for edibles. (Not being entirely sure what it is that ducks find on the bottom of puddles at this time of year, I will pass any effort to be more specific!) As far as can be told by this human observer, they are a mated pair I’m sure it also takes a long time for them to tell humans apart too. The female has a little blue patch on one wing, while he is the usually well-colored male of this species. Any effort to feed them has so far been met but then one effort was made with with suspicion raw spinach, and success might have made them even more cautious. Watching them raised a number of curious questions for me: Why were they hanging around the house? Can ducks get imprinted on a house? How does it work that ducks can make a decision to stay with someone for the rest of their lives? What do they do when the puddles go away? Is someone supposed to maintain a puddle for them, or are they smart enough to go find water by themselves. There are two major issues which spring to mind out of this series of questions. One rather personal and the other, political. Being basically a coward, let us begin with the political issue. The political vision er, Ford, has to do with seeing President Edsel as a duck, lame or otherwise, whose puddle has just dried up Tl ■ and is not smart enough to go anywhere else. Our beloved leader wants a fat 722 million i Editorial Broadening the base of SA Discussions about Attica have attracted record crowds at recent meetings of the Student Assembly. Although this sudden upsurge in student participation can be viewed as a response to a very timely issue, which Attica of course is, it should also be interpreted as a sign that the Assembly can provide a forum for discussion and action on broad political issues, instead of concentrating only on campus-wide matters. That the Student Assembly came late to the support of the Attica defendants after months of hard work by the University's Attica Support Group matters little; the important thing Is that they responded. The open letter written two weeks ago by SA President Michele Smith and Executive Vice President Art Lalonde, which endorsed a resolution calling for the cancellation of classes so students could attend the courtroom vigil, was a refreshing change from the apolitical, Norton Hall-centered attitudes of past administrations. Although Ms. Smith's action was somewhat marred by subsequent statements she made indicating that further Attica resolutions might be futile, SA's initial recognition of Attica as an issue of universal importance was He crucial in attracting the large numbers of supporters who skipped classes to attend the rally. dollars in military aid for South Although the issues SA traditionally deals with !■# Vietnam.

If these are the only students who care enough at the time to be present at the meetings, they should be looked upon as the student body, rather than as freaks who do not represent the students "out there," as some officers would have us believe. As issues arise in the future, the Assembly should be in the forefront, holding discussions, sorting out positions and generally crystallizing student opinion, rather than wasting its time, as it often does, debating obscure parlimentary points and claiming that the large numbers who have To the Editor. assembled do not speak for the student body. The only way In response to Mr. Greenbaum’s article “Unique SA can ever be truly effective is to somehow presonalize rules separate sexes” (The Spectrum 4/2/75, page issues for many students; by ignoring the presence of a large 17), I am tremendously disappointed in his bloc of interested students, particularly those who have presentation and analysis. He makes an accurate in his philosophical team concept of turned out to support Attica, SA will only be squandering presentation play and he displays a realistic approach with his the lifeblood of support it so desperately needs to become a mention of men not dominating the boards as per viable force. the “uniqueness of the rules.” - . — - — — - — — - — - - Congress. I am not in the business of trying to convince anyone that the Congress of the United States is the smartest bunch of people in the world, but there seems to be enough internal sens? to recognize when they are being set up to be a fall guy, a scapegoat, or whatever phrase you wish to use to indicate the party what takes the blame for things not their fault. The odds were against Ford getting what he wanted anyway. To make noises about military intervention too was incredibly dumb. His puddle dried up and he is too dumb to even know it. Or else he is trying to blame the end of Spring on the United States Congress. Which may have made a lot of stupid mistakes in its hfe, but spring? Having mucked about in muddy reality long enough, I now feel compelled to deal with the more personal issue raised by the aforementioned ducks. Which involves the human side of mating behavior. How is it that ducks are able to make decisions about spending the rest of their lives with one other single solitary duck with apparent equanimity? Whether they are part of a flocjc or not seems aside from the point. Ducks pair up, basically, as 1 understand it, for life. Why for then, do humans in general, and this particular human in particular, have such outrageous problems doing something which is simple for ducks. (Kindly leave flying, and keeping ones head underwater for long periods of time, out of this discussion.) When we move this discussion to mammals, things obviously become rather more complicated. Some mate for life and others just hang out long enough for procreative purposes. Primates are equally difficult to pin a label on. Some live in more or less constant relationships, and others live in no smaller group than a flock, or goggle, or whatever one calls a large band of primates. All of which would not be so bad, for me, personally, if it went one way or the other. It feels as if I would be willing to be a monogamous creature, or a non-monagamous one. it is this ambivalence that is driving me mad, mad, mad. Why is it that human beings seem to be the only ones who are, or at least behave as though they were, of two mixed minds on the whole issue? Why do we want to be secure, on the one hand, and free to go off and explore, on the other? None of which probably has an answer. We are whomever we are, and the name of the game is struggle towards who you would like to be. It must be pleasant to be as clear and unambiguous about anything as Ford and Kissinger are about Southeast Asia. Think how much better it would feel to be right as well. Happy Spring, and remember, only 22 calendar days to the end of classes. Good luck.

The Spectrum Wednesday, 16 April 1975 . What was lacking was Mr. Greenbaum’s consultation of the rules. If the rules state that a team shall consist of six players: three men and three women, how can one sex then be main members? I feel it’s clear why one would not want men entering the lane as the obvious would result; women would be excluded from the game. Men are not excluded from the game as they usually bring the ball into the offensive zone, a strategically important role, and take their share of shots. Your reporter has a serious sense of myopic vision in not realizing that the maximum number of people on the court at one time is 12. To have 12 players in one zone would create havoc. By having 8 plavers in one zone reduces confusion. Besides, most teams alternate the role of the player so everyone gets a chance to play. Each role is vitally important to the team concept* of play. Does not Mr. Greenbaum consider the famous axiom: A good defense makes a good offense, or vice versa? Strategy is part of every game. Hundreds of books have been written on the notion of strategy for every sport. The consensus is that strategy is the individual team’s perogative to be decided by the coach or captain. Situations in sports are relative and unique as well as are the most effective strategies. Mr. Greenbaum does not consider this point. As to teams having fun; well, fun is another relative term that his article offers a subjective view of. What’s fun for team A might not be fun for team B. Who then can you say is right? the consensus of the teams is that they did have fun. Perhaps Mr. Marcario and Miss Hanlon, as well as Mr. Greenbaum, could have been better organized in their efforts. All were on a team that suffered a losing season, which in my opinion makes their comments out of context. It would have been more desirous for them to have offered positive criticism and alternatives to the problems as they perceived them. If Mr. Greenbaum plans to continue his career as a reporter, he should research his articles better. If he plans to quote someone, he should read the quote back to the individual to avoid confusion. The questions he raises are not entirely relevant to the co-ed basketball program. Over 300 students participated through 24 teams this semester. Mr. Greenbaum’s attempts to make the program a political issue are out of context. He should devote more of his efforts to researching alternatives that he might perceive to create a more fulfilling co-ed intramural program. Ideas and positive criticism are always welcomed by us. We feel if you don’t have a viable alternative or a change that will generate more interest, then you have no basis to complain. As for the most important issue, Mr. Greenbaum grossly misquoted me. My initial query was, "Do you want men and women competing against one another?” The co-ed league is designed for men and women to play together and that’s what we want. That’s the sole purpose of the activity. For men and women to compete with each other is an entirely metaphysical concept that the co-ed basketball program wishes not to be involved in. Our main purpose is and always will be to -provide an opportunity for people to play and have fun together. ' - Edward R.

Keep supporting the Attica Brothers To the Editor. Recently many people of U.B. have expressed support for the Attica Brothers by signing petitions and attending rallies.

MAKOWSKI, Mayor of Buffalo, New York, proclaim the week of April 14 through April 20,1975 “WORLD FOOD WEEK’ a week of education,, reflection and resolve toward the improvement of the quality of life among all peoples by attention to the problems of food and nutrition. Stanley Tolerance M. Makowski of women athletes To the Editor After reading Joy Clark’s article on the Amherst Bubble, I have several questions and comments. First, who are you, Mr. Monkarsh, to dictate whom I should play basketball with? If I enjoy playing a serious and physically rough game of basketball without girls, why shouldn’t I be able to do so? Your idea that the bubble should be used by all the University Community is misleading and assinine since it is physically impossible. The bubble should be available to the entire University Community and should be used only by those persons' interested enough to enter through the door. Secondly, there are six half courts. If two are reserved for women every night, this represents one-third of the playing surface. Since the women represent by my observation one-tenth of the users (which by the way is a somewhat conservative figure) I and any other rational person would think this is more then adequate. Nevertheless, I particularly like Mr. Monkarsh’s idea of having a women’s night. This way the five or six girls that use the bubble on any given night can each have a basket to shoot at! Or better yet, perhaps Mr. Monkarsh should adopt Rena Hex’s philosophy who stated, “I’d like to play if all the people would disappear from the courts.” This way one girl at a time can trot around (or is it twat around) all six courts by herself!!! Last, but by no means least, for the girls who are embarrassed by playing at an adjacent court to men stop worrying; nobody is looking; it’s just wishful thinking on your - part! Richard Hohenstein NYPIRG seeking student input To the Editor. In the interest of opening communication channels between NYPIRG, the Student Assembly and the student body and bypassing the prejudices of various members of student government and media, I would like to present you with the facts currounding the proposed constitutional amendment and adjoining court case. Two years ago there was a student-wide referendum which mandated a reordering of priorities within the existing Student Association budget to fund NYPIRG on this campus at an equitable level with the other member schools of NYPIRG (eg. Queens College contributes over $100,000, Syracuse University about $50,000). It is now two years later and a major reordering has still not taken place. Frustrated by the inability of SA to ever make this major reordering of priorities, we decided to go directly to the student body once again, to ask a simple question: “Would you pay three dollars a year to support the activities of the New York Public Interest Research Group?” Unfortunately, the SA constitution does not allow the determination of the student body to be binding on the matter. So we sought to change this flaw in the system. SA President Michele Smith all of a sudden has accused us of trying to “sneak through the backdoor” on this issue. First of all, Michele Smith definitely knew of our intentions for over a month, as did Arthur the members of the Student-Wide Lalonde, Judiciary, Editors of The Spectrum, Michael Jones and Mindy Lubber who are members of the Finance Committee and Assembly, about fifty active mebers of the local PiRG, and all the people these people told. In fact, at a meeting held on March 6 of this year, which Michele Smith, Arthur Lalonde and a number of other people attended, we were given their personal support on the entire issue, including the court case. The only reservation Michele had at this time was whether we could in fact win such a referendum. When I talked to Michele a couple of weeks after that about the upcoming case, she said there was a good chance that SA, in the interests of students, would come on our side in the suit. It was not until this past Wednesday, the day the case was supposed to have been heard, that we heard of Michele’s sudden change in face and subsequently, the next day, parts of the Executive Community (minus Robert Cohen and Judi Young) who were not notified of the meeting) voted to endorse this point of view, condemning our actions. As far as approaching the Assembly on the issue is concerned, after it was strongly suggested by a number of people that we should do this in addition to the court case, we did so by proposing an amendment to it was eventually brought up and subsequently the Assembly will be voting on it was' the eventually brough up and subsequently Assembly will be voting on it this Wednesday. I find fascinating this notion that the use of the courts is considered to be a “backdoor” approach. Is that what you would have told the southern blacks in the late fifties and sixties when they went to the courts instead of the Alabama Legislature to end de jure segregation. How about the women groups who won the right to abortion in the Supreme Court. Should they have only pursued the matter in the legislative branch of government? The Court’s role by design and tradition has been to provide an important check on our other branches of government and have offered an aggrieved person or persons an alternative route to change an injust situation when the other passages have been cloked. Whether or not there is merit in our case is for the court to decide and not an SA President or newspaper columnist. After all, the Student-Wide Judiciary has been empowered directly by themselves to act as this check. And in answer to the question who is this “money-hungrey interest group” called NYPIRG. We are the New York Public Interest Group, a bunch of students working, for no pay, with a bunch of underpayed professionals, in the interest of all students. We are students doing research, students working at the state legislature, students looking to share with all other people the idea that an individual can make a difference and that problems can be solved if tackled skillfully. Richard Sokolow New Yawkers leave by sundown To the Editor. I am confused with the attitude of most of the “foreign” students here at UB. They repeatedly downgrade my home, my friends, and in a way, my life. A fundamental question must be asked, “Why are you people here?” I do not appreciate nor do I understand the position these people take. It is obvious you do not enjoy it around here so why don’t you go home, maybe your mother will welcome you because 1 surely don’t. I have witnessed several conversations, read many a subtle comment, and listened to long lectures which say, “My city sucks!” Well I say, “Fuck you!” Mr. Alzamora, the only “zombie-like” people in Buffalo are the ones blown away by good Columbian. Granted, we are not the most picturesque metropolis, nor are we the entertainment capital of the world, but we do have some people who give a shit. We con’t flee our home merely to infect others. I suggest that all that hate Buffalo leave before sundown and the ones who choose to stay might even learn to enjoy it. We do have some fine party-ers in this city. Allan Barth If you hadn’t already noticed New Yawkers, this was for you. Wednesday, 16 April 1975,. The Spectrum . Page nine �Alzamora not the on/y Yankee fan To the Editor. The Spectrum has printed many mistruths, but I was appalled by the out and out lies that appeared in the April 11 issue. I think it is a fine idea that Sparky Alzamora did the TGIF column, but he should stick to the facts. He states that he and his friends were “the first white UB students ever to get stuck a mile for the stadium on opening day in order to see the visiting team.” I wish to refute this, as the car in which I was riding was also stuck a mile from the stadium, but we must have arrived earlier, because we only heard the first half of the first inning on the radio; after that we got fed up and Backfire parked on the grass in the general vicinity of Cleveland and ran the rest of the way. I must say, though, it was a disappointment after all that cursing at Indian’s fans in the can next to us. The only good (?) thing about the day was that the businessman who was sitting next to me offered me consolation enow to help me hold back tears. But back to the original point. I hope Mr. Alzamora now realizes that he is not the only Yankee fan loyal enough to go to Cleveland; in fact, I know of at least one other carload of people from UB. So, do not feel like a martyr. You were just one of many. Susan Shelton North Campus residents inconvenienced To the Editor. In an article on the cost of going to school appearing in The Spectrum, a head resident named Rick Schoellkopf called for eliminating the 10 percent discount in room rent that people at the North Campus are entitled to. Mr. Schoellkopf asserted that Main Campus residents who have who have to pay their room rents. Thirdly, Mr. Schoellkopf, do you really believe that it is no longer an inconvenience to live at Amherst? When one has to catch a bus, the vagaries of which need not be gone into again, to go to a fully stocked library, to go to the student union, to go to a professor’s office, to go to a store (for something other than books or food)? Proximity to Ellicott classes “don’t think it’s fair.” classes is only one aspect of convenience or Now, Mr. Schoellkopf, several questions arise. inconvenience. Perhaps most importantly, if you feel it is unfair Can you name us one Main Street resident you have ever talked with who “doesn’t think it’s fair,” to have a differential in rent between the two especially since there are many empty rooms at campuses, why do you assume the correct remedy is ElUcott which Main Street residents have the option raising the rent for Amherst residents?

The Spectrum Wednesday, 16 April 1975 . Individual thinking a must To the Editor Hurray for Clem Colucci! That was the sanest article in The Spectrum (Mon., April 7) 1 have read. The man who lets his neighbor do his thinking for and the stuff of social disaster. him is a fool - B. Smith Alzamom is invalid To the Editor. I like Sparky Alzamora. I sit with him in my music class. He happens to be a fairly competent writer. I have been insulted many times about many things, and usually I complement the insultor on how well he insults me. However, I am not affected by insults. Accordingly, Mr. (and I use the term loosely) Alzamora’s biting remarks in the TGIF of April 11 did not phase me in the least. Alzamora can freely insult my personality or my appearance, but his apparent devotion to a team that has no talent, no team or individual personality, no enthusiasm and most of all, no fan appeal, immediately eliminates his validity as a sports commentator of any kind. David J. Rubin P.S. Sparky Alzamora and the Yankees should all eat shit, die, and be reincarnated into themselves for another lifetime of self-torture. No smoking laws in effect To the Editor I would Like to know why UB has made a minimal attempt to inform the University populace of the effects of Erie County’s no-smoking law. Since April 1 it has been illegal to smoke in any classroom, library or lecture hall. On May 1, county health officials will begin to enforce these regulations. Obviously nobody wants to pay up to a $500 fine, yet after two weeks relatively few signs have been posted. As a non-smoker I appreciate this law and I hope all smokers are mature enough to refrain from smoking. Regarding those individuals who persist in smoking, there is recourse. Complain to your professor, if he does nothing complain to the health authorities. According to my information, the health authorities will hold the professor responsible and levy the fine against him.

But isn’t society guilty of presuming perpetual guilt, of continuing to hold the person in debt forever, of making it incredibly difficult for ex-convicts to succeed in the outside world? It is easy to say that the struggle for justice must continue. The attention of the press and the public will almost certainly diminish now that the first episode is done. Yet, if last weekend’s verdict so discourages the struggle that there is little support during the appeals and trials to come, then the State will have won. Change in America comes painfully, tortuously, almost imperceptibly slow, but it will never come at all if initial defeat is enough to stop the struggle. It is easy to continue when victorious; it is vital to continue when not. To those who came here in 1971, the riots of Spring 1970, were already past history.

I remember my Intro Psychology professor, who also served as a psychologist at Attica, reportingsto thexlass about the situation at the prison. I remember September 13, when the State ended the siege with bullets. Today, many who are concluding their four years here face the final weeks of their college education concerned about graduate school and job prospects, deluged with letters about credit cards, yearbook photos and college plaques to mark the completion ofiheir undergraduate days. Today, Dacajewiah and Charlie Pemasilice, who have also undergone an education of sorts since September 1971, through no choice of their own, sit in jail, with Saturday evening’s verdicts to mark the end of a major chapter of Attica. Indeed, Attica has been a stark companion to the Class of 1975. Just as Watergate did not begin on June 17, 1972, nor end with the guilty verdicts for Haldeman, Erlichman and Mitchell, Attica did not begin on September 9 or end on Saturday night. Both are stains on the claim that there is justice in America. Has enough been done to erase either scandal? Have the real roots of either been removed? The fundamental problems are still there. There have been no explanations for the carnage and lies of the state police assault of September 13. The legal system allows the travesties of Nixon and Agnew, whose greatest punishment, many felt, was the loss of their high offices. The prisons remain, as Dalou Asahi said, “schools to train more proficient criminals.” An ex-convict who runs Delaney Street, an unusual rehabilitation program in San Francisco, compares the rehabilitative value of American prisons with that of caging a dog. “If you put a dog in a cage and kick him every day for five years, then ask him if he has learned his lesson, the first thing he’ll do when of the cage is bite your foot.” he The verdict Saturday was a loss for Dacajewiah and Pernasilice, but not a victory for the State. Dacajewiah is 23. He faces maximum life sentence. He was 19 at the time of the riot in Attica, finishing a four-year sentence for armed robbery. Charlie Joe Pernasilice was at Attica in 1971 for violating parole. Now 22, his only conviction was for stealing a motorcycle in Syracuse when he was 16. There is a general belief that these men are guilty simply because they were in prison at the time of the crime for which they have just been convicted. This attitude, that people are in prison for a good reason, may have permeated the atmosphere of the courtroom in downtown Buffalo and the world outside.

The Bulls won only one of ten games in Florida and lost their first two games up north to Fairfield. Last December Buffalo’s basketball team upset LIU for its first win of the season. The Bulls’ baseball victory can also be considered an upset. The Blackbirds are undefeated in the tough Metropolitan Conference, including a win over highly rated Seton Hall. The Bulls have a rainout to make up with Seton Hall. As usual, Buffalo’s offense was potent, lead by the continued vicious hitting of Mike Dixon (see Athlete of the Week picture), John Mineo and Rick Wolstenholme. The difference in this game was that the Bulls pitching was greatly improved. Junior fastballer Rick Kobel started the game and broke off enough good curves along with his usual smoke to carry him through four shutout innings. He was starting to let up in the fifth when a line drive to his head forced him out of the game. The win eventually went to short relief specialist Don Salvatore, who kept the Blackbirds from - winning the game after they had come back to tie it in the ninth and then held them scoreless in the tenth. But the best thing about the Bulls pitching is that Kobel, Mike Klym and Salvatore gave up only four walks between them, a far cry from the 23 yielded by Buffalo hurlers at Fairfield last Friday and Saturday. The Bulls put two runs across in the first extra inning. Mike Whelan, pinch running for Dixon who had tripled, slid in under the catcher’s tag on a ground ball off the bat of John Kidd. Shortstop Jack Kaminska then singled in Kidd who had made it to second while Whelan was scoring. Kaminska played a fine game, fielding eight chances without an error. The completely new infield of Bob Amico, Mike Groh, Kaminska and Jim Zadora seems to be shaping up rather well. “It was a good win,” said coach Bill Monkarsh in the understatement of the young season. “We could be on the way back now,” he added. However, the Bulls could use more pitching help if they are to have a winning year. Injuries to their two top starters, Jim Reidel and Bill Lasky, have hurt badly and the return of either or both would be quite a boost. Reidel is recovering from a shoulder injury, Lasky a hernia operation. Statistics box at L.I.U. Sunday, April 13.

Buffalo’s Ron Hoffman defeated Ravi Prakash in the men’s singles. But Prakash teamed with Jim Irani to beat Hoffman and Dan Barth in the doubles. In women’s competitions, Canisius’ Geri Kennan beat Mary Zaepfel from Brockport in a very tight match. They then teamed to defeat Buffalo’s Chris Barone and Marilyn Dellwardt in the doubles.

No. 77 State University of Monday, 14 April 1975 New York at Buffalo New York’s senator explains: Increased workload hampers congressional effectiveness Group calls for the old SA constitution by Kim Weiss Spectrum Staff Writer An ad-hoc committee of Student Assembly members will propose a referendum at Wednesday’s Assembly meeting calling for the reinstatement of the old constitution until a new one which “meets the needs and priorities of the University students.” is drawn up. The group criticized the current constitution, adopted last February, because there was very little Assembly input into its creation. It was simply “railroaded through,” charged Robert Cohen, a spokesman for the group. Mr. Cohen claims that neither the student body nor the Student Assembly members thoroughly understood the constitution before they voted to adopt it. He said that Bruce Lang, chairman of the Assembly’s Constitutional Reform Committee, virtually wrote the new constitution himself without asking the Assembly’s advice. Lack of information The Assembly members “never even knew the scheme of the constitution until one week prior to the general referendum,” when Bruce Lang first attempted to explain the document to them in fifteen minutes, Mr. Cohen charged. The SA Executive Committee promoted the new constitution with advertisements in The Spectrum but never fully explained it, according to the dissident Assembly members. Instead, shallow slogans like, “Vote yes for mandatory fees; vote yes for SA constitution,” were used, they charged. Mr. Cohen asserted that the only voice of dissent was a single open letter which he and fellow Assembly member Richard Sokoiow-wrote. The second objection to the constitution is that it fails to place restraints on the executive power, according to Andrei Gadson, another spokesman for the group. Article I, Section 2 of the constitution provides for three task forces; Academic Affairs, Student Affairs and Student Activities and Services. But the Student Senate “shall have the power to finalize all .” legislation initiated in the task forces out that the officers of the Executive pointed Gadson since Mr. Committee dominate the Student Senate, and participate in the task forces, all decisions are greatly influenced, if not finalized, by the Executive Committee officers. Mr. Gadson believes the task forces will tend to respond to the wishes of the “possibly more experienced” officers. There is no separation of powers, Mr. Gadson charged, adding, “The power has only been changed in name from the Assembly to the Senate.” Furthermore, the group pointed out, there is less student representation than ever before. The petition that was formerly used to elect representatives to the Assembly at a ratio of one for every 40 students has been abandoned. Now, only the people in each task force will be making the decisions and legislative recommendation, the Assembly members said. Messrs. Cohen and Gadson both feel this is a very dangerous situation. In addition, Mr. Gadson said SA President Michele Smith and Executive Vice President Art Lalonde have bad some reservations about the constitution, even though they have not voiced them. The group has also criticized the present constitution for its inherent contradictions and omissions. Jon Burgess pointed out that according to Article XI Amendments, the constitution may be “amended by either the Student Senate or the undergraduate student body." However, if an individual or group does attempt to amend the constitution he will be thwarted by a provision in Article VI, which reads: “The Student Senate shall have the sole authority to amend these constitutional bylaws .. .*’ by Jody Gerard Spectrum Staff Writer Although the post-Watergate era has witnessed attempts by Congress to recover authority lost to the Executive Branch, Congress may have already reached the limits “of its capacity to discharge the responsibilities vested in the Congress by the Constitution,” according to Senator James Buckley (C-R, N.Y.). In a speech Friday in the Law School’s Moot Court Room, Senator Buckley said the workload of — — React to policy As a result, Congress can no longer generate policy, but only react to it, he said. But there are reforms available, Mr. Buckley stressed. There should be a “meaningful period of time” between the time a bill is considered out ofcommittee and the time it is deemed ready for floor debate. This way, he explained, a particular bill can be a public document long enough for the public to “dig into it” before a Vole is taken. Another problem has been the increasing number of restrictions on state and local governments. “Responsibility has gravitated toward Washington,” Senator Buckley said. “Over the years, this has robbed our society of flexibility, of creativity, of productivity, and in the process, is eroding many of the traditional safeguards to which the founders of this country have looked to for the ultimate protection of individual freedoms.” .. Negligence Mr. Burgess also pointed out that “out of sheer negligence” the elite group which finalized the constitution omitted the traditional power of 10 percent of the Assembly members to call an SA meeting. “Because they threw the constitution together so fast, no one noticed the omission of this significant principle,” Mr. Burgess explained. Another inequity in the system, said Mr. Gadson, is that both the Academic Affairs and Student Affairs Task Forces are able to elect ten representatives to the Senate, while members of the Student Activities and Service Force are elected from the entire student community. Mr. Gadson views this as a “deliberate undercutting of the voting power of all clubs and interest groups.” Congressman must handle, Senator Buckley removed from his breast pocket a pink schedule card which he said “ordains” his day. At 10 a.m., for example, a legislator may have three committee meetings to attend at the same time. Senator Buckley said this makes it virtually impossible for him to keep track of one-tenth of the that legislation goes through Congress. Consequently, innumerable bills of extraordinary importance cannot be knowledgeably voted on, Senator Buckley explained. He described the voting procedure on some bills as “rushing on the floor, trying to find some friendly face whose judgement you trust, and getting a two minute capsule of what it’s all about.” This is a “rather sloppy way of doing our nation’s business,” Mr. Buckley surmised. Once upon a time, the Senate rightly and proudly claimed the title of the world’s greatest deliberative body. Today it is impossible literally to try and spend two consecutive impossible minutes within which to blend your thoughts,” Senator Buckley declared. Federalism The only way to restore the capacity of federal government to work effectively and responsibly is to “rediscover and apply the principle of federalism” giving the states authority over their internal affairs. Federalism, Mr. Buckley explained, “has been historically one of the great sources of strength and innovation in the American system.” ... — —Carr James Buckley the “average congressional office” has quadrupled over the past decade. The division of authority between federal and state governments is no longer as apparent as it once was, Mr. Buckley said. Today, he explained, there is “literally no itch on the body politic that is not within the range of somebody within the Congress to scratch.” Omburdened To illustrate the overwhelming workload a Under the “rule of subsidiarity,” whereby governmental responsibilities are delegated to the lowest level of government “competent to handle it,” a more balanced distribution of responsibilities would be created so that any one level of government need not be overloaded, he said. Such a system, the Senator continued, would bring governmental responsibilities more in touch with those who are being governed. Mr. Buckley said the next step would be to assign to each level of government a “taxing authority” appropriate to its needs. Building responsibility in a self-governing society requires citizens to become “immediately involved to make their own rules,” Senator Buckley said, expressing the belief of Thomas Jefferson that the “people can be trusted to govern themselves.” In closing, Senator Buckley quoted Lord Atkins on the American Constitution, who said, “By the development of the principles of federalism, it has produced a community more powerful, more prosperous,Tnore intelligent and more free, than any other that the world has seen.” * �Joint resolution New ‘Dimension’ This coming Friday, there will be no Prodigal Sun (Arts-Music- section in The Spectrum.

Buckley sees no alternative’ to supporting military aid bill ‘ U.S. Senator James L. Buckley (C-R, N.Y.) said Friday that he will support President Ford’s proposal to send military and humanitarian aid to Saigon. At a press conference at the Law School, before addressing students in the Moot Court Room, the Senator refused to commit himself to the $772 million figure offered by the President, saying he “will propose whatever the appropriate figure is.” If he cannot determine this figure, Mr. Buckley said he would “have no alternative” but to support the President’s request. He conceded, however, that Congress will probably veto President Ford’s proposal. Senator Buckley explained that the question of military assistance is “simple this: Will we, the United States, deny people we fought with ten years the capacity to defend themselves?” Senatory Buckley also mentioned that if Congress approves the aid, American troops would likely be sent to help evacuate the 6,000 Americans who are still in Saigon, along with the more than 150,000 people there “who once worked for the United States.” The latter would probably be evacuated to “base facilities” in neighboring countries. Rabbit in a hat “We’re talking about human beings that by every historical evidence are going to be slaughtered in the tens of thousands,” the Senator said. Asked whether Saigon would be able to defend itself even with the aid. Senator Buckley responded that while it is “possible, we may be pulling a rabbit out of a hat.” “Either we condemn the South Vietnamese to being taken over by the communists in North Vietnam,” the Senator declared, “or we give them a fighting chance.” He added that the South Vietnamese can defend themselves only with equipment, and that the United States is the only place “they can get it.” “I, therefore, will vote for such military aid as is necessary to give them that chance,” he concluded. Release time “If for no other reason” the money should be appropriated “to buy the time with whi ;h to get the Americans out,” he explained. Asked why the United States does not remove the 6,000 Americans still in Vietnam, he said such a move would “precipitate a panic” in the capital city, with a coupled A Saigon. panic, “bitter-anti-Americanism built from a sense of betrayal,” would make it “devilishly hard to get 1,000 Americans out, let alone 6,000,” Mr. Buckley said. Senator Buckley referred to the psychological effect “772 million would have on the South Vietnamese, explaining that it would help them “overcome a sense of hopelessness and betrayal.” Legislature asked to restore ‘vital funds’ should be working together so that we have an equal level of action.” by Howard L. Greenblatt Spectrum Staff Writer As part of the continuing fight against budget cuts, the Student of Association the State United University (SASU) and tl\e University Professionals (UUP) issued a joint resolution last week calling upon the New York State legislature to restore vital funds to the State University.

STOP IN OR CALL FOR PRICE LIST �Norton candy counter workers face possible lie detector tests by Sparky Alzamora Campus Editor Any student working for the Norton Hall Lobby Counter may be requested by Norton Hall Operations to submit to a polygraph, or lie detector test, if he is suspected of stealing counter merchandise. Because of the high turnover of student help, it is nearly impossible to pinpoint the blame on any worker if discrepancies arise in the accounting reports, claimed Albert Ermanovics, Assistant Director of Norton Operations. is a “Shoplifting and pilferage wide-open phenomena,” said Mr. Ermanovics, who explained that the polygraphs is a “control to deter people from shoplifting.” The polygraph test, administered by Campus Security, is used to determine whether a suspect’s testimony is valid or if an actual theft has occurred. According to Mr. Ermanovics, students were first asked to take the test a couple of years ago. He admitted that these petty crimes are committed with “no malicious intent.” Candy and cigarettes have been found to be the most accessible item for shoplifters, and the total loss of goods is quite considerable, Mr. Ermanovics maintained. Part of the problem has been the fast rate of employee turnover behind the counter, Mr. Ermanovics explained stressing that a full-time staff of two or three workers would help the situation. While Mr. Ermanovics said it would be “far more preferable to employ full-time staff,” he stressed that work behind the counter is “student-oriented which recognizes the need for student employment.” “Because of the size of the staff [20 to 30 presently employed] we do not intend to relinquish controls,” he declared. If a worker is accused of shoplifting items from the counter, he must first speak to Mr. Ermanovics about the incident. If his alibi is adequate, he will most likely retain his position on the staff. However, should the employee refuse to answer questions about a suspected theft, or if the testimony conflicts with other witnesses, he may then be required to take the polygraph test. Submission to the polygraph test is a “voluntary process,” according to Paul Orcy, a Campus Security investigator. He said the test cannot be conducted “with a reluctant subject.” After signing the waiver voluntarily, Mr. Orcy and the employee then go over questions relating to the alleged crime before the actual test is conducted. All the questions deal with the alleged theft; none deal with personal matters, such as drugs and sex. The polygraph machine is sensitive enough to pick up various emotions, Mr. Orcy explained, and can differentiate between reactions caused by deception, anger, fright and sudden moves. Mr. Orcy then reports the evaluations fo the test to Mr. Ermanovics, and Norton Operations deals with the results accordingly. If the worker still asserts his innocence after a negative evaluation, the case is reviewed before Norton Operations in a special post-examination trial. The question of guilt or innocence is then decided by Norton Operations. Study questions site selection for new campus by Don Enenmann Contributing Editor tended to stagnate and flood during heavy rains. “There are no exceptional vistas no commercial facilities within convenient walking distance . . little housing available for students (at Amherst),” the report ... The selection of Amherst as the site for the new campus was made despite widespread support for a location near the waterfront in downtown Buffalo. Mallory Perlbinder and Lani Coelho, both members of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), studied the factors behind the decision and concluded that a waterfront site in downtown Buffalo offered far more advantages than the Amherst location. The site selection procedure, which was long and involved, began in 1962 when the University first decided to expand. Amherst was selected in 1967. Other locations which the State University Board of Trustees considered were in Grand Island, Elma and . deal of local press coverage. Objections to the downtown location were its relatively small size and the fear it would make faculty recruiting difficult and start a “mass faculty exodus” because people would not want to live and work in the downtown area. Despite wide spread support for a waterfront site from many Buffalo and cultural businesses, education organizations that culminated in former Buffalo Mayor Frank Sqdita declaring restudy, some observers felt jt was simply an attempt to quash opposition to the Amherst site, especially since all during the examination period, work continued on clearing the Amherst land. Anthony Ralston, Chairman of the Department and Computer Science said. Statements by Henry Harper, Chairman of the Buffalo City Planning Board and Robert Coles, a Buffalo architect, attracted a great deal of support for expanding the University at the waterfront sitg._ A committee for an Urban University was formed which called the Amherst site a “retreat to the suburbs” and pointed out that , a downtown site would permit December 17, 1966 as “Biiild UB on the Buffalo Lakefront Day,” Dr. Gross recommended in February 1967 that the University obtain the Amherst land. interaction between the city and the University that “might provide stimulation for the solution of many bewildering problems of the urban setting by minds of talent* imagination and intellectual curiosity.” He cited the small size of the waterfront thought it would be counter-productive to area, which was 427 acres compared to 1,500 in Amherst, the high cost of acquiring property downtown, and the closeness of Amherst to the Main Street Campus as reasons for the decision. build at the waterfront.” Charles Ebert, Dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education, said recently that he warned the University early in the 1960’s that Amherst was susceptible to heavy floods and that drastic precautions would have to be taken to prevent a major disaster. “When a site that is so obviously detrimental is still chosen the reasons must proponent of the Amherst site, said he had favored Amherst because it would be easier to attract faculty and students. “We were quite sympathetic to the view of the people who wanted to revitalize downtown Buffalo by building the University there, but given that SUNY at Buffalo was, at least at that time, to be of national prominence and importance we ' Cheektowaga. No public input According to the NYPIRG study, the final decision was based on a study by Vincent Moore, a planning consultant for the State Division of the Budget, who made an extensive investigation of the five areas. Mr. Moore’s report was responsible for the Trustees’ decision, with little public input or discussion, Ms. Perlbinder and Coelho contend. The Moore report was released in 1966, shortly before former University President Martin Meyerson arrived here. Many observers felt the report favored the downtown waterfront site even though it made no direct recommendation. It pointed to the downtown area’s high accessibility and natural beauty, stating that “the dramatic vistas of the Buffalo Harbor, Lake Erie and the Canadian shore will afford a dramatic setting for the University.” The report also mentioned that a downtown campus would be close to the city’s cultural facilities, such as the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, the Zoological Gardens, the museums and libraries. It also noted that the downtown site could provide off-campus housing and more student jobs. Good but not great The Moore report described Amherst’s advantages, such as the immediate availability of land, but also pointed out several disadvantages. “Accessibility is good but not great,” the report said, adding that Ellicott Creek, which runs through the campus, was polluted and Too small Faced with pressure from prominent citizens and area legislators, former Governor Nelson Rockefeller appointed Mason Gross, President of Rutgers University, and Robert Heller Associates to restudy the site in August 1966. Dr. Gross held a number of meetings and public hearings that received a great Quash opposition Responding to arguments that the downtown campus was necessary to revitalize the city. Dr. Gross said that while the city has serious needs, “they do not constitute a valid reason for changing the site plans.” Even though a great deal of money and time went into Governor Rockefeller’s be political,” he explained. However, President Robert Kctter denied that the decision was political, saying that its size and location near Erie and Niagara Counties were among the chief factors that influenced the decision.

Do the world’s great religions have their true source in such interplanetary visits, ages ago? Is our total system 'of archeological thought incomplete, incorrect and based on falacies?

And our laser guns would seem like instruments with which we shoot balls of lightening. “It would appear to these people that the skies had opened up,” he maintained, “and powerful gods walked among them. Seen through the eyes of primitive man, foreign cosmonauts couldn’t appear otherwise than divine.” “Here,” he said, “we have the beginning of a in Clark Hall. A small being in a red cape and helmet with lengthy antenae shuffled through the audience and approached Mr. Von Daniken at the podium. “I bring you greetings from outer space,” he said. His greetings earned him an escort from the building by Campus Security. “1 am glad to see there is still good humor in the University,” Mr. Von Daniken remarked. He then examined the biblical story of Ezekiel and the prophet’s vision ofhis ascension into heaven great religion.” New theories With the aid of color slides, Mr. Von Daniken examined a number of primitive artifacts, and contrasted his theory against the accepted L 1 archeological explanations. He emphasized his personal belief in a “true God,” but asserted that his God is not described in the Old Testament, appearing to man in signs, particularly fire, trembling, lightening and loud SUPER LOW PRICES noises. “An all-powerful, all-knowing God would know that these things would appear to us in the future as visits from outer space, and not as miracles. Why then, would he have done them?” “1 don’t believe the ‘true God’ needs miracles to get around, nor does he need to stand back and wait to see what men do, or what the results of his actions are, as he does in the Old Testament,” Mr. Von Daniken noted. He claims his theory is more credible than the accepted archeological explanations. Referring to the smooth, uniform stones in a cave in Peru, he joked that if the accepted notion that lime-wash had formed the structure was true, then his name is “Donald Duck.” Regarding a relief carving in a tomb on the Yukatan peninsula, which appears to be a man, seated in the driver’s seat of some sort of vehicle, Mr. Von Daniken observed. “That’s a pretty LIE Announcing AUGUST 21, 1975 FALL SEMESTER Fall-time 3-year toy program Part-time toy aed evening programs . • • . .

He compared the story to an almost identical Phoenician myth, in which someone felt “the wings [rushing) beneath him,” as though riding in a craft with a motor on the bottom, and “the weight of a boulder in his chest,” interpreted as gravity. He also reviewed slides, from many countries, primitive drawings of beings weaving different helmets with rays emanating from them. Noting the remarkable similarity, he said, “If they were all close together geographically, they wouldn’t be so remarkable.” Extra-terrestrial visitors could have predicted how we would react to this evidence, he said. “The children of the space age” should accept the evidence available to us. “Of course, what I suggest is purely speculation,” Mr. Von Daniken cautioned. “But I have placed very small pieces in my jigsaw puzzle. All accepted scientific truths were, at one time, showing speculation.” Masked man maces students Three University students were attacked with chemical “Mace” sprayed by a ski-masked man as they sat in Norton Center Lounge tables Thursday at around 2 p.m. According to Chris Clarke, one of the victims, the man came up to the Attica Support table, reportedly said, “Fuck Attica,” and squirted Mr. Qarke with mace. He stepped over to a table campaigning against world starvation, said, “Fuck starvation,” and squirted Denise Caruth and John Prieur. The latter two, since they had seen the incident at the Attica table, were able to partially avoid being maced. Mr. Prieur, according to witnesses, ran into the hall screaming, “Get Security,” and then chased the assailant as far as Main Street.

But only one thing occupies their stomachs: food. Grades come once a quarter, but caf food stares up from a plate every day.* For years cafeteria food was equalled only by the weather as one of those issues everyone talked about but no one did anything about. Today, however, cafeteria managers have been faced with a growing number of student revolts as well as rising food costs and the invasion of fast food marauders. — Bored by the board “At least the boycott will save the cost of three Di-gels today,” quipped a student at the University of Connecticut at Storrs, where North Campus residents staged a one-day dining hall boycott last month to protest the “quality” of the food. Food quality has always been a rallying cry in many cafeteria protests across the country. But “quality” has meant everything from spoiled food to a lack of menu variety. For example, a spokesman for a foods committee at the University of Missouri/Columbia complained that, “One type of meat has several different names, but it all tastes the same." The leftovers are usually just popped into a freezer and used for another meal, he grumbled. The issue is not so much food quality, but student boredom, said a University of Missouri official. Students, like anyone else, tire of eating the same menu in the same dining hall three times a day, seven days a week for months on end. More serious than such general meal malaise were charges leveled by students at Ramapo State College in New Jersey against their food service, operated by Saga Foods. Most small colleges like Ramapo can’t afford to operate their own food service, so they contract the operation out to national firms' like Saga, Canteen or Servomation. At Ramapo, student staged three boycotts against Saga, the largest one occurring after Saga fired two student workers because they refused to serve stale food, according to the protestors. After more firings and more protests, a Saga facility on campus was closed down by local health officials. Finally, Saga announced that it has lost almost $40,000 in its last two years at Ramapo and wanted out of its contract with the college. The economics of feeding Stomachs aside, students at many schools have also protested rules that require them to live in dorms and take their meals on campus. For instance, with the help of the student union organizing project, students at the University of Massachusetts/ Amherst have filed suit in federal court challenging university regulations that force single students under 21 to live on campus and buy a meal ticket unless excused for medical reasons. School officials have usually argued that such regulations are financially necessary: where room and board are tied together, profits in one area can help offset losses in the other. With rising food costs, however, cafeterial managers have reported that it’s, increasingly difficult to make a profit feeding These firms can offer board ranging anywhere from $1.85 to $3.50 per student per day and usually make money on the steady percentage of students who don’t take all the meals offered.

Address “real things” and cook from The mystique of the Big Mac Mired by student complaints and rising costs, campus cafeterias have also begun to face a new threat: the arrival of fast food chains on campus. Flushed with mercenary zeal, college and University unions across the country have started leasing their space to large-volume food chains like McDonald’s, Shakey’s Pizza and Hardee’s Food Systems. As an experiment, McDonald’s opened its largest outlet on the Ohio State campus last fall and found the operation so successful that it opened another on-campus outlet at the University of Cincinnati. ( College unions at both schools, which get about a 6 percent cut from McDonald’s, have reported that sales have increased dramatically. A spokesman for McDonald’s refused to say how many more college outlets were planned, but said the firm was looking “from coast to coast.” McDonald’s chains in particular are so successful that the firm only accepts about 10 percent of the thousands of franchise entrepreneur must pay $150,000 to buy in, but he can expect to gross about $508,000 each year. need larger campuses to maintain a high volume, he noted. To try to compete, some cafeterias have devised menus similar to fast food chains, he said, but so far it hasn’t really worked. “Even if the menu is the same, there’s some kind of mystique about having a Big Mac.” “These kids grew up with McDonald’s,” agreed Clark Dehaven. “The idea of having a commercial establishment on campus is very appealing to them.” However, Mr. Dehaven saw the real debate as between those who are concerned about giving students a balanced meal and those who would just sell them profitable but n utritionallylackingjunk food. The debate is intense enough that many food service directors are watching carefully the fast food success of giving students only what they want. Plagued by complaints and inflation, lured by the profits of McDonald’s and others, they have just about been convinced that the way to a student’s stomach is through his heart. menu food Ford Foundation expert on India’s food supply, Douglas Ensminger and Thomas Lue, an expert on the use of chemicals in agriculture, will speak in Crosby 129 at 10 a.m. Monday as part of the Food Week observance at the University.

Mr. Dehaven said that increasing numbers of cafeterias are trying to increase the use of self-sendee and self-busing. Another change has been the growing utilization of meat substitutes and other food extenders, he said, but usually these require extensive testing. “If you go real slow, they’ll (students) accept it,” said Mr. Dehaven, “but if you make a radical change, they won’t go for it.” Faced with the same economic situation, the large cafeteria chains have cust costs through buying and vertical mass that is, controlling integration production of an item from farm applications it receives each year.

Page five . �i Editorial A thorough investigation? On September 13, 1971, 29 inmates and 10 guards were killed by random police gunfire during the violent suppression of the Attica uprising. Almost four years later, the conspicuous absence of even one indictment against police and prison officials continues to astound even the most detached observer. The appointment Saturday of a special deputy attorney general to investigate charges by Malcolm H. Bell, former assistant Attica prosecutor, that Chief Prosecutor Anthony Simonetti covered up possible crimes by law enforcement officers means we may at last find out why this has happened. Mr. Bell has accused Mr. Simonetti of repeatedly refusing "to allow witnesses to be called, questions to be asked, leads to be followed and legal and logical conclusions to be utilized which will allow fair presentations" of the cases to the grand jury. These charges have already been backed up by the New York State Special Commission on Attica, which reported that the indiscriminate firing into D yard "virtually assured the death or serious injury of innocent persons." The Commission was also charply critical of Governor Nelson Rockefeller's by Clem Coiucci refusal to go to the prison before ordering the assault. Staff Note: Some people have wondered about the members of the State Commission of Correction, which was serious tone of recent columns, including this one. created after the Attica uprising to monitor prison problems, Quite simply, this departure from the usual attempts have also accused commission officials of convering up at humor results from being too busy to devote the possible crimes by prison authorities. An independent time necessary to creating something funny, and I investigation by the New York Times has uncovered a similar have been fdling in with serious reflections inspired by recent events.

Sixty-two other inmates will Constitution is under attack by two methods one have to stand trial for crimes they allegedly committed during legitimate, the other perhaps not. As I write this, the rebellion. As the special prosecutor investigates the some dissident Assembly members, angered at certain undemocratic features in the constitution, concealment of crimes committed by police and prison are meeting in the Community Action Corps (CAC) officials, he must try to determine whether Mr. Simonetti office to discuss changes. Whether they choose to contrived charges against many of the inmates who were bring a host of amendments to the first meeting of indicted, a factor which would warrant a mass dismissal of the Student Senate in September or push for a Outside - charges. But if the investigation is to be worthwhile, the special prosecutor must be given a free hand to dissect every relevant piece of information relating to the uprising. Governor Carey has announced that the investigator will have complete independence and the authority to examine Grand Jury minutes, subpoena witnesses and documents and examine under oath any persons with relevant information. While these guarantees look good on paper, it is worth remembering that Mr. Bell sent a 160-page report to Mr. Carey on January 30, after he concluded that Attorney General Louis Lefkowiu did not intend to investigate the allegations. Mr. Carey, for his part, did not consider looking into the charges until a story appeared in The New York Times last week detailing Mr. Bell's charges. While Mr. Carey may be genuinely concerned about discovering the truth, it is up to the public to be on the lookout for a coverup of a coverup and see that an exhaustive investigation is carried out. If the special prosecutor was chosen simply to quiet people down, and the investigation proves a farce, elected officials must be pressured to demand further investigations. Logic dictates that when 39 men are executed en masse and hardly any mention is made afterwards of the executors, something is wrong. The Spectrum Monday, 14 April 1975 Vol. 25, No. 77 Editor-in-Chief Larry Kraftowitz Managing Editor Amy Dunkin Michael O'Neill Managing Editor Gerry McKeen Advertising Manager - - coking In A piece of legislation or an act of a public can be unconstitutional, that is: “not according to or consistent with the constitution of a state or society,” but a provision of a constitution, by virtue of its being a provision of a constitution, cannot be unconstitutional. A provision of a constitution may be, as Rich Sokolow says of Article VIII, Section 1 of the SA Constitution, “arbitrary and capricious,” it may be unwise, it may be cannot positively immoral, but it be unconstitutional. (Incidentally, it is not necessarily “arbitrary and capricious” to restrict direct popular decision making, or else all constitutions would be “arbitrary and capricious.”) The question to be answered by this suit is what the students shall use to allocate their money. The students may bind themselves in any way that does not conflict with regulations of the Board of Trustees, the laws of New York State, the official iieans Constitution of New York State, or the laws and referendum on a new Constitution has yet to be Constitution of the United States. Once they have decided. But either way, it is open, honest and an done that, they remove the question from the sphere example of the political process at its best. of law. In sum, what NYPIRG seeks is a judicial The other action cannot be so described. The answer to a political question and the Judiciary is New York Public Interest Research Group bound to throw the case out. The politics of the situation are less simple than (NYPIRG) has brought an ill-conceived, politically suspicious and legally absurd suit against SA asking the legalities.

The relevant portion spokespersons say the extra money would be “a of the by-laws regulating the Student Judiciary’s positive by-product of the change," they will have a jurisdiction reads as follows (Section II, sub-section hard time convincing the Assembly the move is not, II, paragraph d): “The Student-Wide Judiciary shall as one Assembly source said, “another tactic by have jurisdiction in matters concerning the another money-hungry interest group.” constitutionality of any act of student governments NYPIRG has brought that criticism on itself by of the State University of New York at Buffalo or poor politics, though. Mr. Sokolow told SA any other part of the student governments.” President Michele Smith, in a letter dated March 16, The question arises; to what constitution or that the suit was to be brought. Until a few days ago, constitutions do the by-laws refer? Section I refers NYPIRG had resisted SA’s urgings to bring an to “All judicial powers of the Student Association, amendment for financial referenda before the Graduate Student Association and the Millard Assembly. This resistance and delay can only hurt Fillmore College Student Association” of this their credibility when they finally do face the University. Those judicial powers do not extend to Assembly, where some sources are confident the the constitutions of the State of New York or of the proposed amendment will fail. Whatever NYPIRG’s motives, their ill-advised United States, but can only extend to the constitutions of the student governments previously lawsuit has damaged their chances of making what may have been a constructive change in the named. Any other interpretation is clearly absurd. Obviously, no student government constitution constitution. This is in marked contrast to the can deprive a student of rights possessed under the Assembly dissidents, who by now have ended their state or federal constitution. No such deprivation of meeting down the hall. Working openly, with no guaranteed rights exists. There are differences in financial stake in the matter, and without rancor political machinery (for example, the SA President is they have a far better chance of bringing some elected directly, not by an electoral college), and the needed change about. Instead of indulging on implied differences in political philosophy, but this self-righteous confrontation, they have chosen good is not the same as a difference in the rights granted. old-fashioned politics.

Most men laugh when the issue is raised, “Oh, they want to be called persons again.” They make Jokes because they are uncomfortable with the situation. But when, at Monday’s Attica meeting in Haas Lounge, a native American read a letter from Dacajewiah which said, "... all men were created equal...” I had to laugh too. The women’s movement is not just for women. In showing the world that we must be liberated we are showing everyone else that they, too, could use some liberating; men from the “Macho” syndrome, and native Americans from the “blanket and teepee” syndrome (to mention just a few). While it is true that women, and women alone, must take the initiative to liberate themselves, we need support from everyone because in one way or another we are all oppressed. When Gloria Steinem and Jane Lewis spoke here I thought that something positive had clicked in the minds of everyone in the audience. Obviously I was wrong. But we don’t need great feminists to get us stirred up, we need a lot of soul searching.

The review is without question the worst I have ever read anywhere. Such poorly written reviews are not, however, uncharacteristic of The Spectrum. There have been innumerable bad write-ups before but this one takes the prize. Let me be more specific about my criticism of the review than Mr. Honestly is about the album. When 1 read a write-up on a record, I want to learn about the music on the album not some garbage about Patty Hearst. Mr. Honestly may think he is clever fitting Patty Hearst into a Stan Getz review, but in doing so he has totally ignored the real point the music itself. I get the impression Mr. Honestly doesn’t like the album but he never explains why. If Mr. Honestly wants to write fiction about Patty Hearst maybe he should try Ethos.

One guy could not even get in with his girlfriend as an escort. It had been reported that men would be admitted on womens’ night (Tuesday, 7-11 p.m.) if space allowed. However, Recreation Director Bill Monkarsh told The Spectrum that men will be excluded for the first two weeks because he feels men have been inhibiting the women. This is the first report of men inhibiting women on the Amherst Campus all hear. Orange women Syracuse University, a traditional football and basketball power, will field five women’s teams next year (basketball, volleyball, tennis, field hockey and swimming and diving). This will be the first time in its 150-year history that Syracuse has a women’s athletic program. The move is probably a result of Title IX, since it is well known that Syracuse’s fiscal difficulties have forced them to drop two male teams (baseball and track) two years ago. Syracuse must fund the team if it is to maintain its federal grants. The orange women are likely opponents of Buffalo’s female teams. The Bulls’ experience should be a marked-advantage, a contrast to men’s sports where Syracuse is generally superior. The “weaker sex” showed some muscle last Friday night as the State University at Buffalo’s Monica Winkel rode Top Scotty to a 1-1/2 length victory in the first elimination race of the Intercollegiate Harness Racing Driver Championship at Buffalo Raceway. The other female jockey in the eight horse field, Virginia Rich of Rosary Hill, finished second aboard Fiacco Joe, with Buffalo law student Robert Adelman third. Winkel pulled no tricks during the race. From her number two post position, she took the rail and the lead before reaching the first turn. Top Scotty did an extremely fast quarter of 32.4, and then just held on until the finish, winning in a surprisingly fast 2:14.4. Fiacco Joe also started fast, ducking under Top Scotty from the number five starting spot, but Rich, seemingly content with second place, didn’t move the ten-year-old gelding out side at all. Adelman, aboard Laura Ann, was the only driver who moved outside in the stretch. He went from fourth to third, but Top Scotty was too far ahead, and the move fell short. The speed of the race surprised everybody. Most of the trainers and drivers predicted that 2:17 or even more would win, especially with the temperature down in the twenties. However, they had expected that whomever took the early lead would probably go all the way. Winkel, who takes home $50 for the win, figured she had a pretty good chance to win even before the race. “The two horses 1 thought were my toughest competition were both on the outside,” she explained. When did she know she had the race won? "When I crossed the finish line,” she said,,in class Bill Hartack style. For Monica, a senior sociology major from Massapequa, Long Island, getting into the race was probably harder than winning. She was selected by The Spectrum as only an alternate, but she took it upon herself to attend the practice sessions anyway. She impressed the Buffalo Raceway officials so much that they put her in the race. almost scratched from the race on Thursday night. On Thursday afternoon, she had an accident during practice. “We sort of rammed into a guy in front,” she said. The eleven-year-old gelding had opened a wound foot, and trainer was all set to scratch him that his in night. But Raceway General Manager Gaston Valiquette convinced him to wait until Friday ' , Almost scratched Unknown to Monica, though. Top Scotty was Recognize this person? She's Monica Winkel and if you live on the second floor of Lehman, she might be your resident advisor. Beside her is Top Scotty, the horse she drove to victory at Buffalo Raceway last Friday night morning. When morning came, Top Scotty’s leg was adequately healed. Winkel and Rich can now sit back and watch the other elimination races as they prepare for the Niagara Frontier championship race oh May 9. Both plan to spend time at Buffalo Raceway helping out while getting in some extra practice. Mark Coloton, coordinator of the student racing program, admitted that although he was impressed with the girls’ performances, he expected the other qualifying drivers to have a better chance in the finals because the trainers will be more experienced at training new drivers.

Pro teams keep winter going third season of pro ball at just 24, McAdoo was the NBA’s most valuable player this year and captured his second straight scoring championship. by Dave Hnath Contributing Editor At one time, not too long ago, the sports scene in Buffalo’s Memorial Auditorium would finish at the end of March. April was reserved for circuses and boat shows. But this April has been an extension not ohly of winter, but the winter sports season as well. The reason? A couple of young, upstart teams known as the Sabres and the Braves have made their respective league playoffs. The basketball Braves first qualified for NBA playoff honors last season, their fourth season of competition. The hockey Sabres secured a spot in the NHL playoffs for the first time one year earlier, but injuries kept them from a repeat performance last year. This year’s Sabres and Braves are among the youngest teams in professional sports, and both have established themselves as solid contenders for years to come. A common factor in their rise was shrewd young talent. Braves building The basketball Braves built around one of the top young players in the NBA-Bob McAdoo. Already in his As good as McAdoo is, however, the Braves needed more than one good man. They showed this in their playoff-opening win against the Washington Bullets last Thursday. Even though McAdoo scored 35 points, it was two other players that played the key roles in the contest. Gar Heard, a strong rebounding forward obtained last year in a trade with Chicago, scored a season high 24 points. More importantly, however, was his strong offensive rebounding and-shot blocking that allowed the Braves to control the boards against the Bullets, the league’s rebounding leaders this season. A major factor in the Braves drive to the third best record in the NBA (behind Boston and Washington) has been Randy Smith. A lightning quick guard, Randy is a product of Buffalo State College, where he single-handedly destroyed the Buffalo Bulls in track and basketball, and earned all-American honors in three sports soccer, track and basketball. Injuries to Ernie DeGregorio and forward Jim McMillan forced Smith to take up the scoring slack and assume the role of playmaker. If Randy continues to Wild pitchers ruin Bulls great hitting According to an old baseball FAIRFIELD, CONNECTICUT adage, pitching is 90 percent of the game. To Buffalo baseball coach Bill Monkarsh, this must seem like a conservative estimate. “I’ve never had a team hit this good, but we can’t win a game,” said Monltarsh, after his charges lost to Fairfield 16-9 and 8-7, last - weekend. “When you score nine runs in a game, you really should win,” added assistant coach Gary Montour. The problem is the pitching, specifically control. Over the two game set the Bulls’ fielding was fair and they outhit the Stags, but the oitchers had a very hard time finding the plate. Buffalo’s moundsmen walked 23 men, hit two and threw three wild pitches. The very first inning of Friday’s contest showed how the Stags would be able to score 16 runs on just 11 hits. Bull starter Jim Niewcyk walked the first three batters, allowing Mike Garvey’s double to score two/uns. The Bulls got three hits each from second, third and fourth batters John Mineo, Rick Wolstenholme and Bob Amico. Amico had four runs-batted-in and added three more hits in Saturday’s game. Even so, he was outdone by catcher Mike Dixon, who had a two run double Friday and belted two home runs in Saturday’s games. The Bulls must have thought they were in pretty good shape Saturday after Dixon’s second blast put them ahead by two in the ninth. But a bizarre bottom of the ninth ruined them. With two on from a walk and a single, Fairfield’s Mark Johnson hit an easy two hopper that third baseman Jim Zadora could have turned into a game ending double play. However, the ball took a wierd bounce, hit Zadora in the head and rolled into foul territory, scoring both runners. Two more hits, the second one just barely fair, scored Johnson. — French Connection leads Sabres Meanwhile the hockey Sabres have terrorized the league throughout the season. Displaying a balanced offense (8 players over 20 goals) and start-studded offense (three of the league’s top ten scorers), the Sabres set several scoring records and amassed the most road wins and most points in the league. The Sabres have an abundance of young players who can put the puck in the net. Leading the parade, of course, is the French Connection line (Perreault, Martin, Robert), but Buffalo has two other lines that can also score. The key to the Sabres jelling into a solid Stanley Cup contender has been the goaltending of young Gary Bromley. Considered a fourth-string goaltender last year, Bromley has strengthened the Sabre’s weakest spot. However, it appears that Bromley will be ignored in the Sabres playoff plans. Since general manager Punch Imlach brought Gerry Desjardins back from the WHA to give the Sabres an experienced playoff goalie. The Sabres enter the playoffs as the second ranked team, losing out only to Philadelphia. If Buffalo makes it to the finals, they will probably face either Montreal or Philadelphia. The Flyers have given the Sabres all they could handle, winning 12 of the last 13 meetings between the two clubs. A Montreal-Buffalo final would be more appealing to the Sabres. The members of the French Connection would like nothing better than to return to the scene of their junior days to capture the Stanley Cup.

NYPIRG has indicated that it intends to initiate a referendum' for that purpose if the constitution is changed. Mr. Sokolow believes, however, that the additional money for NYPIRG would be a positive by-product of the change. He explained that the new regulation, if passed, would be an additional “check” on the SA Executive branch. It could be a preventative measure against some future SA Executive committee that “has gone crazy,” he said. Ms. Smith stressed that the provision prohibiting monetary be referendums cannot unconstitutional because students voted it into existence. She also said that it falls safely under the State University Board of Trustees mandatory fee guidelines.

About $100,000 of that figure will be requested to fund the Law and Health Sciences Libraries, areas that were overlooked by officials in Albany when the Executive Budget was being planned. In addition, approximately $250,000 will be requested for general library expenses, a source in Albany reported Wednesday. Eldred Smith, Director of Libraries here, had expressed serious doubts that the libraries could maintain an acceptable acquisition rate with the limited funding provided for in the Executive Budget. Utility increase The remainder of the $850,000 figure is expected to include a request for additional funding to cover soaring utility rate increases. SUNY’s total request in this area will be $5 million more than the amoung already provided for in the Executive Budget, the source said. Also included may be a $250 increase in salaries for graduate assistants. SUNY’s total supplemental budget request could not be determined. The source was careful to stress that the figures, information currently available, are tentative and unofficial. The possibility of hikes in room rent or tuition is also still up in the air. No supplemental budget requests will be official until they are reviewed and approved by the SUNY Board of Trustees. Chancellor Ernest Boyer is vacationing overseas, and requests will not be reviewed until he returns. After that, the request will be submitted to Governor Carey, and then presented to the State Legislature for approval. Middle of June However, the budget is not expected to reach this stage until the end of May, at the earliest. Some observers say it could even be as late as the middle of June, in light of difficulties the legislature had in approving the Executive Budget. Discussing the oversight in the Law and Medical Library allocations, Mr. Smith said, “It’s obvious a mistake'was made somewhere along the line by someone, but I don’t think it would be the least bit profitable to try and pin the blame on anyone for it. The important thing is that all the parties involved have recognized the error, and have expressed a desire to rectify it.” Jim DeSantis, director of University Information Services, said he believes Dr. Ketter will make any supplemental budget request necessary to maintain the University’s quality of education. Retain faculty “Our first priority will be retaining our faculty,” Mr. DeSantis said, stressing that lay-offs would be the “absolute last resort” for the University. Without supplemental funds, the University will lose several faculty lines, including eight in the School of Nursing. '> It could not be learned, even tentatively, what the University’s request for funds for Amherst construction will be. Construction is considered separate from the rest of the budget, and will not be discussed for some time. At least one area legislator, G. James Fremming (D., Amherst), has recommended to Governor Carey that funding for the Amherst Campus be increased to save SUNY the expense of renting Ridge Lea campus buildings and hiring buses to run between the bam puses. The Student Association of the State University (SASU) has begun a letter-writing campaign to area representatives to support the supplemental budget requests and oppose dorm or tuition rate hikes. Student Assembly Resolution supports amnesty for the Attica defendants by Don Eisenmann Contributing Editor The Student Assembly passed a resolution Tuesday calling for amnesty for the Attica defendants. Despite calls by a few Assembly members to “get on to other business,” the resolution passed by a 28-10 vote drawing wide support from Assembly members and onlookers who crowded into Haas Lounge when it was introduced. The resolution is the second to be passed by the Assembly in as many weeks supporting the Attica defendants. The motion, in effect, supports a joint resolution by Assemblyman Arthur Eve (D., Buffalo) that will be introduced to the State Legislature on April 3 calling for amnesty for the defendants. The SA resolution, introduced by CAC director Dave Chavis, also endorses an Albany Attica demonstration, provides non-financial assistance to the UB Attica Support Group to help them inform other schools, and calls for the University’s Student Association of the State University (SASU) representatives to propose an Attica amnesty resolution at that body’s next meeting. Influence Mr. Chavis said he introduced the measure “because the new events and sentiments make it necessary.” SA support, he said, would be more influential in getting other schools to support the defendants than the endorsement of the Attica Support Group alone. The resolution prompted a long and heated debate with some members questioning the right of the SA to make political resolutions. When one student remarked that such a resolution would not —continued on paga 18— �Faculty Senate quashesplans for student voi f t by Laura Bartlett Staff Writer Spectrum The Faculty Senate Executive Committee has rejected a proposal by Student Association (SA) for increased student input into departmental faculty tenure review decisions. In a letter to Faculty-Senate Chairman George Hochfield, SA representatives had requested a meeting with the Executive Committee to discuss the possibility of placing student advisors on departmental tenure review boards. The students had also hoped to persuade the faculty to place more emphasis on student evaluations. Dr. Hochfield, on behalf of the Executive Committee, replied that such a meeting would be neither “particularly useful or fruitful.” “Sufficient guidelines and instructions have been issued to make further recommendations superfluous,” Dr. Hochfield continued. He explained that departments are already instructed to include student evaluations in faculty dossiers, and that President Robert Ketter has made it clear that all applications for promotion or tenure “must include evidence of teaching ability.” < Editor wanted Applications for the position of Editor-in-Chief of The Spectrum for the academic year 1976-76 will be accepted until April 18. The application should be in the form of a letter to the Editorial Board stating reasons for desiring the position, qualifications and previous journalistic experience. The position is open to any student enrolled at the State University at Buffalo. The editorial board will interview all candidates on Thursday eveniqg, April 24. Prospective applicants are urged to contact Larry Kraftowitz, Room 3S5 Norton to familiarize themselves with any procedural or technical questions about the position or about The Spectrum. SA budget survey is presentat meeting by Paige Miller Staff Writer Spectrum The result* of the Student Association (SA) survey to determine financial priorities were presented to the Student Assembly Tuesday. The survey was distributed with registration materials last December so that every returning student could rate six major areas of funding in order or importance. Services for Students received the highest rating, according to the results. Activities were second, followed by Service Organizations, Athletics, Small Clubs and Special Interest Groups. Only 2113 surveys Disappointment expressed of 10,000 were filled out and returned. However, seniors were out that these “The Executive Committee assumes excluded because the survey was designed to assess priorities for the demands are being met; if not, the President’s next school year.

Attica follow-up New report indicates Attica case coverup The defense in the kidnap-murder trial of Shango (Bernard Stroble) filed a motion yesterday to dismiss all charges on the grounds that the Attica special prosecutor withheld relevant information from the Attica defense. Presiding State Supreme Court Justice John Mattina turned down a defense request Wednesday to subpoena Malcolm Bell, former chief assistant to the Attica special prosecutor Anthony Simonetti. Mr. Bell, who resigned earlier in the week, accused Mr. Simonetti of covering up possible crimes committed by the law enforcement officials who suppressed the September 1971 prison uprising. The inquiry into whether state troopers and correction officers committed crimes “lacks integrity” and was “aborted” and the special prosecutor “repeatedly refused to allow witnesses to be called, questions to be asked, leads to be followed and legal and logical conclusions to be utilized which will allow a fair presentation” of cases to the grand jury, Mr. Bell wrote in his letter of resignation, sent to Attorney General Louis Lefkowitz December 11. Report forwarded When it appeared that Mr. Lefkowitz did not plan on taking action on these charges, Mr. Bell forwarded a 160 page report to Governor Carey. The Governor has postponed a decision on a request by Mr. Bell’s attorney, Robert Patterson, that he commission an independent investigation of the management and affairs” of the state’s prosecution of crimes connected with the Attica rebellion. The Governor instead asked that Mr. Patterson and Mr. Lefkowitz meet without delay to discuss the matter. Mr. Bell also forwarded a copy of his report to Justice Carmen Ball, tfye supervising judge for all Attica related cases. Judge Ball said Mr. Bell’s charges had thusfar not affected the progress of cases against inmates. “1 don’t want to make any predictions for the future,” he said... William Kunstler and Ramsay Clark, attorneys for Dacajewiah (John Hill) and Charlie Joe Pemasifice, convicted Saturday of murder and attempted second degree assault respectively, have asked Justice Ball for a copy of Mr. Bell’s report. The two lawyers stated in a telegram that they were kept unaware of the report illegally during the trial. Mr. Pernasilice has since been released on $ 10,000 bail No indication Judge Ball has not yet indicated whether he will hand the report over. “The inmates killed four people and about 60 have been indicted. Law officers killed 39 and none have been indicted. Was all the shooting justified? The evidence makes it plain that it was not,” Mr. Bell said in his letter to the attorney general. “One Watergate in that decade is enough,” he added. Mr. Simonetti has steadfastly denied the charges made by Mr. Bell, calling them “entirely false and wholly irresponsible.” “The Attica investigation has been conducting investigations painstakingly and fairly under my direction,” he said. “Law, ethics, and common practice prevent me from speaking specifically about the case, but I assure the public that the two grand juries which have sat for approximately three years have considered and continue, to date, to consider every relevant and material aspect of the case as presented by me and my staff including law enforcement participation at Attica.” Oversaw most hearings Before his resignation, Mr. Bell presided over most of the grand jury hearing on possible crimes by corrections officers and state troopers. Two other prosecutors in the Attica investigation have also resigned. Although neither was critical of the chief prosecutor, one said he had the feeling that “someone didn’t want the investigation to succeed.” The special state commission on Attica, the McKay Commission was critical of law enforcement officials’ roles in quelling the Attica uprising. Police used weaponry and ammunition that “virtually assured the death or serious injury of innocent persons” during the recapture of D yard, the report said Among other things, the report cited “unnecessary shooting” on the part of some officers, a failure to prevent brutality and acts of reprisals against the inmates, contradictory statements, a lack of planning and adequate means of recording the assault, and lack of sufficient medical care for injured inmates. ormation 1 Fall registration In witheld Assemblyman Eve advocates prison reform—‘total change’ by Brian Land Spectrum Staff Writer State Assemblyman Arthur Eve (D., 141st District, Buffalo) was the keynote speaker before approximately 400 people, mostly students, at an Attica Rally Tuesday night in the Fillmore Room. The rally, called to support an April 28th demonstration in Albany for amnesty to the Attica Brothers, also included Michele Hill, Dacajewiah’s (John Hill’s) sister. Brother Ja Ja (Michael Phillips), Mother Stroble, and El Rock Moriba (John Mitchell). Mr. Eve welcomed the 160-page report by Malcolm Bell, who resigned Dec. 11 as chief assistant to Attica special prosecutor Anthony Simonetti after charging that the state’s inquiry into possible crimes by state troopers “lacks integrity” and had been “aborted” by Mr. Simonetti. Assemblyman Eve branded subsequent prosecution of inmates as “inequitable” and “unjust” due to Mr. Simonetti’s alleged misconduct and supporting evidence presented before the McKay Commission investigating the 1971 prison uprising. Legislative amnesty Mr. Eve and lawyer Haywood Burns, who is defending Shango (Bernard Stroble) on a felony murder charge, are trying to obtain copies of Mr. Bell’s report as part of a document supporting legislative amnesty for the Attica Brothers. Mr. Eve expressed hope that Governor Carey would be more willing to act upon the accusations than former Governor Rockefeller. “The only justice is amnesty,” he declared. Mr. Eve labelled the conviction last week of Dacajewiah for the murder of Prison Guard William Quinn and Charles Pemasilice on second degree assault charges “very distasteful” and “very unfair.” He also criticized Attica press coverage for its failure to publicize the humane efforts made by inmates on behalf of hostages. For example, the inmates requested medical histories of all hostages and released those whose lives would have been endangered. Additionally, Mr. Quinn was handed over to state officials for medical treatment, although he died two days later in a local hospital. Double-crossed State troopers and National Guard forces made repeated assurances following four minutes of firing that inmates would not be harmed upon surrendering to the nearest officer. But when the final decision was made, Mr. Eve claimed, even the hostages were “expendable.” Mr. Eve also referred to Martin Sostre, who was convicted last February of assaulting three correction officers at Clinton State Prison after resisting a forcible rectal search. Mr. Sostre claimed that seven officers had beaten him. Prison conditions have even led former Corrections Commissioner Russell Oswald to denounce Attica as a “monstrosity” which should be torn down along with Auburn and Clinton because of its “inhumane physical structure.” Gyms and black officers have been added to Auburn and Attica, although many black officers expressing dissatisfaction with conditions have quit or were fired. Prison reform “requires a total commitment to change,” Mr. Eve emphasized. Attica mentality “The system can always turn on us,” Mr. Eve warned, making an apparent reference to Mr. Pernasilice being a youthful offender whose parole violation was under investigation when Attica erupted. In Mr. Eve’s view, the “Attica mentality” developed from 1969 plans by state officials to bring “storm troopers” onto troubled State University campuses, and manifested itself in D yard two years later. Responding to a question from the audience about his own participation in the reform movement, Mr. Eve responded that he had put his entire career on the line in demanding Vice President Rockefeller’s impeachment. “I’ve gone through hell,” he declared, recounting his lonely stand against 150 other New York State legislators. Mr. Eve was one of the first observers called to Attica and he remained throughout the ordeal. Although he has run as an independent Democrat for election, his activism has alienated him from party leaders. Despite news accounts charging state troopers took pride in having “got me a nigger,” the black community has been largely unresponsive, Mr. Eve said. Meetings with various church and student groups have failed to arouse public support for the predominantly black and brown prison population. Old age and poverty Decrying the poverty which many retired Americans are forced to endure, Mr. Eve claimed, “we are making old people criminals” by denying adequate Social Security Insurance payments. He urged everyone to stop “shucking and jiving” and “playing games.” Michele Hill, calling for a reorganized defense eff' Er Dacajewiah der 'ed her —Santos Arthur Eve County Holding Center. Ms. Hill relayed a request from Dacajewiah and Mr. Pemasalice who has since been released on $10,000 bail to send letters and read Dacajewiah’s “Message from Within” which called the jury’s verdict “most shocking” due to seeming inconsistencies in testimony by state witnesses. Dacajewiah attacked officer Donald Melvin's identification of a light-skinned man with a crew cut, numerous blemishes and oriental eyes who allegedly struck Mr. Quinn. When this description failed to single out Dacajewiah, the state’s prosecutor, Mr. Simonetti, reportedly shouted, “this is the man you saw, stick to your story!” Ironically, the description Mr. Melvin gave fit another state witness, Robert Kopec, whom defense attorney William Kuntsler accused of murdering Mr. Quinn. John who? An indictment against Brother El Rock Moriba (John Mitchell), alleging unlawful imprisonment, kidnapping, and two counts of felonious assault, is now in Wade hearings. He characterized the Attica Brothers’ struggle as being against “conditions. We are more or less sacrificed.” because the state “will not let us bring out the true issues that we confronted.” Mama Stroble, Shango’s (Bernard Stroble’s) mother, gave the rally an electrifying conclusion, exhorting her enthusiastic young audience that “this generation will not stand for what our foreparents stood for.” Ms. Stroble, a Methodist minister from Detroit, stressed unity throughout her speech, which was continuously interrupted by applause. “We have a right to rebel; we have a right to stand up and be counted,” Ms. Stroble declared. “Attica means fight back,” she chanted, receiving a standing ovation.

Eye 'til 8:30 �Local Vietnamese pray for their loved ones back home by Jody Gerard Spectrum Staff Writer The Vietnamese Club of Buffalo gathered Monday night in the basement of Newman Hall to pray for and ponder the fate of their families in South Vietnam. The club is comprised of Vietnamese students and area residents. After a simple but moving ceremony led by Father Dominic Luong, where incense was burned in prayer for the endangered refugees and orphans, the group spoke ,with Sue Whitcomb, representing area Congressman Jack Kemp, as part of a plea for humanitarian aid to their loved ones in South Vietnam. “We are very concerned about our country, our families, and our relatives,” one student told Ms. Whitcomb. Another, whose parents lived in Nga Trang, which was captured last week, said, “I don’t know what has happened to them. 1 haven’t heard anything.” Congress hesitant Ms. Whitcomb, who is presently involved in facilitating the adoption of Vietnamese orphans by Buffalo-area foster, parents, admitted that as far as “humanitarian assistance” is concerned, Congress just “can’t make up their minds.” Ms. Whitcomb referred, as an example, to a multi-million dollar aid bill which is now stalled in Congressional committee. Another much discussed issue at the meeting was the immigration of South Vietnamese orphans. Father Luong said although that the United States government supposedly appropriated $2 million, only 1700 children have actually been brought over. Out of over 200,000 Orphans, “2000 is a drop in the bucket,” the Father complained. Ms. Whitcomb replied that part of the difficulty with emigrating orphans or refugees is the South Vietnamese emigration authorities, who are reluctant to allow these people to leave the country. She described the “baby airlift” as a “totally disorganized effort,” which would require complete cooperation between the American and Vietnamese governments for success. Cultural preservation sought One student mentioned that the airlift was not a “realistic solution” to the refugee orphan situation, emphasizing the importance of “preserving their culture” and keeping the children “separate.” In an American culture, they would “grow up like Americans,” he asserted. Ms. Whitcomb acknowledged that the children may not necessarily be happier in the United States. But she believed that “there should be a way to airlift them out” while the fighting continues, a means of “returning them to their culture” when the fighting stops. Asked whether Congressman Kemp has any specific proposals or plans concerning the call for help for Vietnam, Ms. Whicomb said, “He is very concerned about the situation. Anything he can do about the situation, he will do.” She indicated that Mr, Kemp believes -that militarization would still be the best strategy to save Vietnam. Program begun Rather than await Congressional action, the Vietnamese Club has initiated its own The Emergency Fund for program, Vietnam Refugees. Beginning the week of April 11, (Charity Week) donations of time and money will be solicited from the several college communities and shopping centers in the area. Any collected money will then be sent via the American Red Cross to the International Red Cross, and finally to the Vietnamese Red Cross, where it will be Congressman Kemp inform his colleagues of the club’s concerns. Members also told Ms. Whitcomb to ask Mr. Kemp to propose a humanitarian aid bill without riders which would stall its passage through Congress. used for food, clothing, shelter and medical supplies. The club members will also collect signatures of those who support the cause to aid their families. They intend to set up petitions and donation areas from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day through April 20th. Both Ms. Whitcomb and members of the club expressed hope that an international body like the United Nations would take an interest in the fate of the refugees and orphans in South Vietnam, who, as one student bluntly put it, “have no choice.” Anyone interested in donating either time or money to the Emergency Fund should contact; Tien at 833-5545 orGiang at 835-1725. During Charity Week call The Newman Center, 15 University Avenue, at 834-2297. Help sought The group agreed to inform Mayor Makowski and Erie County Executive Ned Regan about it and request that NYPIRG election Elections for New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) officers will be held Sunday at 8 p.m. in Norton 334. Positions available are Director, Treasurer, Communications Coordinator, and State Board Representative. All State University at Buffalo full-time day undergraduate students are eligible to vote or run for office. Anyone interested should apply in 311 Norton or call 831-27IS. Tough first hundred days: continual crises the Governor. “His first two years in office may be one crisis after another, and that may hurt the by Joseph P. Esposito City Editor The first 100 days of Governor Hugh Carey’s administration has been a period of one crisis after another, according to many political observers. Humphrey T yler, managing editor of Empire State Report, a “new monthly journal of politics and government,” said that the “first 100 days of any administration will be pure hell,” because of the largely to constitutional requirement complete the budget by April 1. Mr. Tyler believes that the state budget is such a massive undertaking that no governor can get enough of handle on it to make significant changes during his first months in office. & he needs to be a national candidate in 1976.” He explained that the “Urban momentum Development Corporation (UDC) Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) crises are still not straightened out, that nothing has been done in the prisons since Attica and that the Qvil Service Employees Association (CSEA) situation could blow up.” (The CSEA recently threatened to and strike.) The Carey mass transportation program is “almost a carbon-copy of Malcolm Wilson's/’ he added. “He isn’t coming up with new ideas, and that is what he has to to be have candidate.” a Presidential Promises unkept Tough legacy Explaining that the Governor had never really been involved in government state before his gubernatorial campaign, Mr. Tyler believes Mr. Carey should not have made many of the promises he did during the campaign. As an example, he pointed to a pledge that the Brooklyn Democrat made last October to have all policy-making officials in his administration make full public Ray Herman, political reporter for the Courier-Express, said that Gov. Carey “inherited a tough legacy from the Republicans,” disclosure of their financial holdings. The promise has not yet been kept. “Compared to his promises, the first 100 days is a blowout,” the Albany journalist said, citing the crises of the Urban Development Corporation (UDC), Metropolitan the Transit Authority (MTA) and medical malpractice insurance. Mr. Tyler predicts that the future holds even more crises for that has contributed to the crisis format of his administration. “His solution to the UDC crisis, though temporary, has been his best move so far,” he continued. The journalist also Courier-Express noted that the Democratic Governor has not kept his campaign promises, retained many holdovers from the Wilson administration, and been only partially successful in cutting back on the number of state commissions and boards. Gov. Carey “is underestimating revenues in his budget, perhaps deliberately,” Mr. Herman said. Split legislature The fact that the Assembly is —continued on Pag* 18— Friday, 11 April 1975 The Spectrum Page five . . �Priorities ** Fighting financial cutbacks, particularly those which affect minority and foreign students, is the top priority of the newly-elected Graduate Student Association (GSA) officers, according to GSA President Terry Di Filippo. “There is no reason to cut public education funding when so much is being spent on private school and military costs,” Mr. DiRlippo said. More than $146 million a year is spent by New York State on private education, education, another will be funding for people from lower economic groups,” and then funding for foreign students, Mr. DiRlippo said. Poor organization He claimed these groups are particularly vulnerable to cutbacks because they are poorly organized and least able to fight back. Financial aid for foreign students was recently cut in half by the state legislature. “It’s easiest to cut them,” Mr. Di Filippo said. “They’re here almost as our guests.” Blacks and lower income and more than SO percent of the groups are hampered by what Mr. national budget goes for military DiFilippo termed “existing purposes, he explained. “The barriers” such as the location of the new campus in the affluent money is there,” Mr. DiRlippo continued. "The question is, town of Amherst, far away from black and lower class where will it be used?” Public education, he said, has communities. Graduate students been suffering financial cutbacks are equally unable to fight the for the last five years. “One of the cuts because of academic pressure, first things to go will be graduate he explained, stressing that financial aid, many students simply could not afford to continue their education. The cutbacks are currently causing innumerable problems on campus, Mr. DiFilippo said. The number of professors has been reduced, while competition among students has increased. He believes there has been an overall “deterioration of social and cultural life” on campus. without graduate GeorgeBoger now with EOP,” Mr. DiFilippo said. “Sometimes, they give credits for free.”. Special treatment to minority students should not be given at the “expense of education,” he emphasized. Mr. DiFilippo said his administration is now working with the Student Association of the State University (SASU) to develop a new EOP plan. The new administration also The University’s Equal Opportunity Program (EOP) has plans to: been especially hard hit by Shift SASU emphasis more cutbacks. The DiFilippo towards funding problems.

He said he is they are accepted into the “dissatisfied” with the current program and a minimum quota operation of SASU because it for minority students. does not work on the most vital “There are a lot of problems issues. Influence the National Student Lobby to work for increased funding. Ann Feldman, GSA legislative director, plans to go to Washington for this purpose. Enlist the University’s faculty and Administration in the fight for funding. Mr. DiFilippo believes the cutbacks hurt both professors and administrators, but the latter “tend to follow the line of the state legislature. They’re more concerned with who to cut - > — - back, than in actually fighting cutbacks,” he explained. Mobilize organizations outside the University in support of public education. Recently, the administration has gained support from the Coalition for Public Higher Education of New York State, and on May 1, the GSA plans to bring to campus various groups from the community which support public education. GSA plans to work for tuition-free education. - Open to all Mr. DiFilippo said a public should be “open to anyone at all levels.” Eliminating tuition would help break down some of the barriers lower class people face in trying to enter public education, he added. LizaMesiah . Bert Herbert The new administration is also planning to establish a committee to study and evaluate student-faculty relationships. Mr. DiFilippo emphasized that this committee must be independent of the administration, unlike the Faculty Senate, which has “Ketter as a middle-man.” GSA would also like to see more cultural and social events on Although Mr. DiFilippo described himself as “sincerely interested” in this goal, he said that a lack of graduate student interest, coupled with procedural bureaucracy, tends to discourage development in the cultural area. “Many graduate students are either too poor or too busy for cultural events,” he said. “Besides whith, many artistic or creative people are just unwilling to get involved with the bureaucracy of Sub-Board. campus. Affirmative Action Four of the five members of Mr. DiFilippo’s administration ran for office on the same ticket. Mr. Di Filippo therefore believes his election was effectively an endorsement of his program. He described the group as “excellent people, very capable,” stressing that the presence of two blacks on the slate indicated genuine concern for “affirmative action” in the area of minority affairs.” The new Administrative Vice-President of GSA is George Boger. Mr. Boger has worked extensively with the Graduate Student Union, an organization designed to collectively bargain for graduate stipends and assistantships. Liza Mesiah, “expert on oral communications,” according to Mr. DiFilippo, is the new Vice-President for External Affairs. The new treasurer is Bert Herbert, who formerly worked for undergraduate student government, while the new Vice-President for Student Affairs is Warren Breisblatt, the only member of the administration who did not run on Mr. DiFilippo’s slate. w in paperback THE VELVETEEN RABBIT by Margery Williams 1.50 Camelot Books published by Avoi Page six The Spectrum Friday, 11 April 1975 . . �A ‘dead’Lake Erie conning alive again with strict laws by Fredda Cohen sewage systems. percent of the never treated, the local sewage treatment plants, which were built as WPA projects during the Depression, cannot handle the from municipal As much as IS mutrients are because most of Spectrum Staff Writer Until local sewage treatment facilities were upgraded in the early 1970’s, Lake Erie had been steadily deteriorating, it’s oxygen level reduced from increased current waste output. deposits of chemical fertilizer and The Buffalo Sewer Authority,uses a filtration system industrial waste.

In an interview before her election, Ms. Smith emphasized that she was running on a platform that would build respect for student government "by building student expertise." At the time, she insisted that SA's ultimate effectiveness hinged on involving large numbers of students in policy decisions. Ms. Smith now seems a lot more suspicious of students, just as her predecessors did soon after they were elected to high office. She has accused NYPIRG of wanting to change the SA constitution only because it will make it easier to obtain a three dollar increase in the mandatory fee that would go directly to NYPIRG, even though she strongly supported a similar referendum two years ago when she was director of NYPIRG (formerly WNYPIRG). NYPIRG is "playing politics [while] claiming idealism" and "sneaking through the back door" to procure additional funding, Ms. Smith has stated. Although the NYPIRG proposal, as director Rich Sokolow concedes, has certainly been motivated by political considerations, its underlying philosophy is clearly designed to involve greater numbers of students in the decision-making process. As everyone knows, the current structure for making budget requests is unfair, mainly because no one really knows what students want with their $67. Allowing referendums to be held on funding questions would be a signal to students that their opinions are welcomed by SA, and a concession by the elected officers that they are not capable of making these decisions alone. The NYPIRG resolution also contains safeguards that would prevent referendums from being abused. Currently, referendums held on non-financial matters need only a simple majority to be binding; NYPIRG has proposed that referendums be valid only if 10 percent of the eligible voters (about 1300) vote. If passed, the NYPIRG amendment would also mandate that a referendum cannot be brought to the student body unless it is first approved by either the SA President the Executive Committee, the Assembly or 10 percent of the University's undergraduates. The clause in the SA constitution prohibiting financial referendums is, as NYPIRG believes, clearly "arbitrary and capricious" and can only erect more walls between students on this campus and SA. As the issue goes before the Student Assembly and Student Judiciary next week, we hope Ms. Smith will be aware of the tendency of newly-elected officials to become elitist. The failure of past SA administrations has been due primarily to their inclination to place themselves above students instead of actively seeking their input which they always promise to do before they are elected. This year's officers still have enough time to make good on their promises to involve students; a good place to start would be abolishing the restriction against student-wide referendums on financial allocations, which would be tantamount to letting students know that their opinions are wanted. - — The Spectrum Friday, 11 April 1975 Vol. 25, No. 76 Editor-in-Chief Larry Kraftowitz - Managing Editor Managing Editor - Amy Donkin — — , . .

While listing them, the normal conversation would supply as many as the intentional search. If the TV was on at the time, we’d get three or four more per show. They just seem to lead into one another. Sunday night 1 told A1 we were up to 513. He said, “Going strong” (5)4). Then he said, “Keep up the good work” (515). “We’re on the right track,” he added, which became 522 since 1 had added a few of my own by this time. Finally he said, “Quit while you’re ahead.” (523). But in a few minutes I realized that when “it rains it pours,” (536). We owe a lot to cliches and it’s about time they get their due. One possibility is to market the list, either in printed form (we could sell it in the bookstore for 50 cents a copy), or the more contemporary method cut a record. “K-Tel presents 500 Funky cliches on three hexaphonic LPs, yours for only $4.95 and your first bom son. Order now. Supply is limited. Be the first in your neighborhood to have the whole set of 500 Funky Cliches.” Presently listing is random and if the list is to be marketed, it must be categorized in a logical sequence. For example, the 100 series might be dirty ones; the 200 series idioms and so on. There are two possible ways to categorize: structurally, which would be the larger category, and by subject. For your edification, here are some probable structural categories with some examples. It was like any other morning. The alarm went off, I cursed at it, stayed in bed for a while, got up, cleaned up, and threw in two pieces of toast that would pass for breakfast. All the usual stuff. Somewhere between the alarm and breakfast my buddy A1 had woken up and was downstairs starting the day, just like he starts every other day. “Top of the morning.” he said in an exaggerated deep voice. “You know every cloud has a silver lining. The grass is always greener on the other side of fence. Nero fiddled while Rome burned.” You see Al has this problem. He speaks entirely in cliches until his mind starts to function sometime in the middle of the afternoon. But at any time of day he can come up with a cliche answer for any question or a cliche analysis for any situation. The dialogues in his fantasies are entirely cliche.

Neil Schachter �Dancing the confusion and anguish of love by Corydon Ireland Special to The Spectrum This is a dance review. I have written dance reviews before, but I confess at the outset that I am not an acknowledged critic of dance, nor a technician of dance, nor a composer of dance, nor even a dancer of dance. I am distinguished by two qualities only: I deeply and headlessly love human bodies and the way they move; and I know what I like when I see it Case in point: what I saw last weekend in the Harriman Theater Studio and what you can see tonight and tomorrow night in the same place. It is called Dance '75 and is performed by the Zodiaque Company, an eighteen-member troupe of student dancers under the direction of Linda Swinuich. Whatever happens in the brief sparkle of this review, don't lose sight of this message: Dance '75 is worth seeing and hearing. Among other things, it may shock you into a kind of second sight about the way people move in everyday life. Good dance programs do that for you. When you step outside the magic circle of a performance and re-enter the real world, you see that world through new eyes. Dancers, after all, draw beauty and possibility out of the commonest human act after birth: moving from one place to another. well), playing "Density 21.5," an original piece of music by Edgar Varese. Cleverly inept The last dance done in the first half of the production is really a series of dances called 'That's Entertainment" which tries to evoke the unconsciously humorous and inept atmosphere of a second-rate burlesque show (something like what Fellini tried in Roma). Continuity between the individual pieces (there are four) is provided by the clever and authentic voice-over of Steve Classman, who plays a crude, bored and insensitive film director who wants to get it all on film (as cheaply as possible). To my mind, absolutely the most brave and dangerous thing anyone can attempt in a dance program is comedy. In "That's Entertainment," sometimes it works, and sometimes it does not. y If nothing else, there are a few good laughs, the kind of 50's piece, featuring the familiar Presley-style stud in a leather jacket, a bevy of doll-faced women to follow him, ‘a poignantly sightless wallflower, and (oddly, I suppose) two felt-skirted lesbians who have eyes only tor one another. "The Break," is brilliantly choreographed by Wendy Biller. It demands an abrupt change of mood. This is also one of my favorites perhaps because it's so ambitious. It is a kind of allegory of human life: birth, sexuality, love, anguished love, lonely struggle and death. Beginning in a common, undifferentiated circle, awakening figures become men and women, tentatively to begin to dance the full couple off, and then separate circle of human love: isolation, tenderness, entrapment, tedium, rebellion (here by the women), and violence. If the dance were to have stopped here, I suppose one could read it as a kind of feminist allegory of triumph over men. But it goes on to a more certain end; the fighting subsides. — - Paralyzing prose Dance '75 itself is presented in nine parts: four in the first half and five in the second. The titles of some of these pieces suffer from the paralyzing touch of the avant-garde ("Chocolate Cream Cookies in the Basement," "Explanation of the Properties of Platinum"), but I would be the last to judge the substance of something on the basis of its advertising. In fact, some of the best dance moments in the program come after total bafflement from the prose notes. Jill Spengler, a member of the Company, choreographed the first number of the show, obliquely titled "Chocolate Cream Cookies in the Basement." It is the perfect opening piece for a program which deals more often than not with the confusions and anguish of romantic love, though there is a decidedly modern touch in this case: Wendy Braitman, a dancer of fine range and ability who distinguishes herself in two later pieces as well, or a woman. cannot finally decide to love a man Her choice seems easy enough in the beginning, when Francis Maraschiello leaps manfully into her quiet life and induces her into a playful mood. But the symmetry of love is destroyed with the entrance of the second woman, a powerful and compelling vamp played by Ellen Jacobson, who is one of the most talented and intriguing women in the entire program. The piece ends, unresolved, at the height of tension; the first woman is caught between two destructively attractive sexual worlds. The complexity of this little story is nicely rendered by the live accompaniment of pianist Ray Leslee's own "Waves of Persuasion." — Gentle lift "Children of the Dream," the second piece, lifts the audience gently back into a simpler world. Wendy Biller, the talented centerpiece dancer, coaxes the four female figures of her dream-world in and out of sleep with the help of Claude Debussy's "Nuage." Wendy is at the center of a softened clockwork of dreams: her movement is nicely independent and controlling; that of the clockwork women is nicely complementary and dependent. Obviously, this is a sweet dream, something Alice would be likely to have as she drifted in a punt to a quiet riverside picnic with Lewis Carroll. At this point, the program forces the viewer back into a heavier theme in fact, into an "Explanation of the Properties of Platinum" (one of the densest metallic elements). This dance is in neat contraposition to the dance just before: instead of a dream in the mind of a girl, we are confronted with the severe wakefulness of a man in anguish. Choreographed and performed by Robert Coe, a graduate student in the Department of English, "Explanation" is the only solo male dance of the evening and a powerful and impressive one at that. Coe is accompanied by flutist Jay Hersher (who is a dancer as — - dream-heavy tone of the preceding numbers is dispelled in time for intermission and, most important, everyone in the audience with both eyes open begins to see the impressive range and talent of Ellen Jacobson (who is transformed into a gum-snapping whore from her former role as an elemental lesbian vamp) and Robert Coe, who plays a convincingly crude and stupid. Alley-Oop almost immediately, after his serious male solo. - Opposite numbers To look ahead: another one of the "bedroom girls," Lome Indyke, who plays the part of the stone-faced whore perfectly, figures in the first piece after the intermission this time as a lovely and graceful woman. Like Coe and Jacobson and Braitman and Wagner, her depth and range is out of the ordinary. I think there are two pieces in Dance 75 which are clear representations of a kind of feminine state of mind: "Children of the Dream" from the first half, and 'Three Sources," which is the first dance in the second half of the program. Three women Lorrie Indyke, Wendy Biller and perform to J.S. Bach's "Symphonia Astrid Dahlman Partitia No. 2." They manage to capture the range of that music and at the same time therange of mood in a girl just about to become a woman: first slow and dreamy, then lively and playful, then riotously lively. As it turns out, this is a fine transition piece for anyone in the audience who may have lost track because of the vagaries of 'That's Entertainment" or because of the sudden artifice of the intermission itself. The very pext piece is a favorite: 'To Each His Own," a dance choreographed by Eileen Thomer. The familiar strains of "I Only Have Eyes For You" are rendered very nicely on the flute by dancer Jay Hersher. 'To Each" is a — — — there are overtones of reconciliation, but the figures part and begin to struggle individually. They grow old and apart, and become, it seems, sexually amorphous again. Their struggles get fainter and fainter until, terrified and powerless, all six file off into darkness and death sexually undifferentiated once again, but without the comfort of a circle. They are mere flesh in the end, alike in death. All this is rather poorly said, but this piece is powerful and inclusive and complex. — Sexual extremities "The Break" represents another sexual extremity as well it might, since it is a take-off on David Bowie. (The music for this segment is Bowie's "Sweet Thing.") Steve Saporta, who choreographed the piece, plays the Bowie figure with just the right touch of Satanism and decadence. He is the purple-lipped, sitver-jocked extremity of his sex who is pitted against the extremity of the other sex: two lesbian whores, portrayed expertly by Pam Goldstein and Eileen Thorner. (He loses, by the way.) Expectedly, the technical and musical highlight of Dance '75 comes last; Linda Swinuich's expert and brilliant interpretation of percussionist Donald Knaack's "Reflections." Dressed in a black leotard with random twists of silver on it, Linda compels the audience to see her as some anguished, struggling, elemental sexual presence. The wild drama of the last few moments, when Linda seems helplessly battered on the head of a huge and invisible drum, sums up the thematic undercurrent of the entire production, at least in my imagination; we humans are trapped and tormented by random and powerful sexual — energies. Dance! �Herb Aach * 55 Reflecting eternity through core, circle by Janice Simon Spectrum Art Critic Space and time have no limit, existence continues indefinitely, motion replicates itself, forming endless cycles the world of infinity. It's a world which seems to hold a special fascination for temporal man; yet the concept is so incredible and contrary to man's world that it evades his comprehension. However, this does not mean that it won't continue to gnaw away at man's mind, nor cease to be a theme reflected in his art. Artist Herb Aach's work is ah example of this fascination with the world of infinity and his gouaches now on exhibit at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery until April 27 explore its domain. Titled Split Infinity Series, they present the viewer with a sense of eternity, infinite extension into space and a pervading unity which seems to be the very core of the cosmos. And it is in the circle that Aach encounters these endless cycles of the infinite. For the form of a circle has these concepts of unity and cyclical motion inherent within it, and is an appropriate element to employ in this series. Another concpet which it suggests and which Aach's gouaches express is that of a central core, a starting point of motion and growth. By beginning with a small circle and having increasingly larger circles radiate from it, much like the ripples a pebble thrown into water forms, a sense of expansion is created. — 'GodspeU' Loosely textured happiness filled only with empty fluff Circle game The addition of a curvilinear axis reinstates this sense of expansion and rhythmic growth, especially since it rotates throughout the series of gouaches, creating changes presenting any sort of Christian attitude?

GodspeU does trying to disguise. I have to believe that the motive commercialization. The a sense of continuous motion provide fun great slopping quantities of fun but was a much simpler one through the series as a whole, little else. It stands there like cotton candy, pink, question that GodspeU most conclusively answers is: but by extending the axial and sweet and fluffy, but shrinking into practically "How can Christianity be made commercially palatable?" circular lines beyond the nothing once you've bitten into it. painted surgace, Aach suggests GodspeU seems to have been conceived Composer Stephen Schwartz has done so by that the motion continues primarily in terms of fun.

Between sermons, they caper GodspeU is a carefully calculated machine designed in its entirety. Color is the other element through the audience, tossing off one-liners, passing to steamroller into popularity.

Putting that music on very different instruments made for a very different sound. Light, clear and non-electric, the instruments were naturally balanced, and an air of family made it like a drawing room concert, loose and free interaction. The effect was like a desperately needed sedative, as Attica kept appearing — The guitar player thinks he's Elvis Presley, comes on sexually to the audience.

Despite all the criticisms and low blows, the concert was absolutely positively incredible. I haven't had a rush like that in years. And despite the incredible rush of the concert, the reality of the Attica trials comes crashing back like a sledgehammer in the stomach. And despite the crashing, The Spectrum continues to advertise for the army and navy. Where's the cutoff point? When does it become too much? How deep does the thrust have to go?

Degni Spectrum Art Critic — Wooden shoes Golden Earring: too loud and theatrical The cold, blistering weather did not stop the faithful fans from coming to see their fave group on Thursday, April 3. The return of Golden Earring was just too much to pass up, as the crowd r apprehensively entered Kleinhans for the evening's extravaganza. It's been over half a year since G.E. last performed in Buffalo: The rock-"psychedelic" band from Holland had then been riding the waves of success which their AM single, "Radar Love" had brought them. This time around the group's novelty had worn off somewhat putting them in the same situation with other big name groups. Golden Earring's show has always been professional and confident. Their repertoire consisted of earthy, appealing rock and roll, on the light side of heavy metal. However this tour brought about a number of changes. No longer were they a fast-rising group, fighting the world for a break to play their music. The energy band had hit it big and it showed. Slide in With a full production of mammoth lights and quad system. Golden Earring began their set by sliding in during the climax of "Intro/Plus Minus Absurdio." Somehow this all reminded me of a Warhol flick. Here was Barry Hay, vocalist, in a flashy black satin outfit (nee Brian Ferry), George Kooymans in atypical George Harrison white suite, Rinus Gerritsen wearing regular grub, while their new keyboard player was romping around in shorts and sweat socks. Anyway, Barry Hay immediately went into a new number they just wrote called "She Flies On Strange Wings," a nice melodramatic song which gave him time to do his thing on his glitter sax. Requests from the crowd were soon granted as the band began playing material from the Moontan LP. Their first number was entitled "Big Tree, Blue Sea" which gave Barry ample opportunity for a flute solo, Ian Anderson style. Cesar Zuiderwyk kept a steady pulse on drums, while Rinus Gerritsen on bass complemented the piercing axe stabs of George Kooymans' lead guitar. (I guess The Who eventually rubs off on everyone.)

Things began to happen for Hallwalls in November 1974 when Jack Griffis provided funds to construct their exhibit space, proposed by Charlie Clough. In December, Pierce Kamke became involved in its construction. Both State and UB were brought onto the scene via the personnages of Robert Longo (President of the Visual Arts Board at SUCAB), who was involved in arranging for speakers, and Judy Treible, who coordinates Gallery 219.

The way he performed the songs, most of which were on his forthcoming album, was so beautifully done that I tingled with excitement waiting for the album to be released. Well. Frampton is out, and though the songs are nice and with the aid of his voice, quite relaxing, I must admit some disappointment. My first criticism centers on the wholesale repetition of a certain type of sound. Every song on the album starts off with an acoustic or mellow sound to it, then leads into a low-key rocker, except for "Nowhere's Too Far (For My Baby)" and "(I'll Give You) Money", which are high-volume rockers, except for different chorus lines, the songs sound alike. They have similar bass patterns and drums that lay back and let him hold the spotlight. The second fault I find with this album is in the way it's been arranged and produced, by none other than Frampton himself. The album is put together and the songs are recorded so as to deliberately give a relaxed (to the point of being sloppy) sound to the album. This is quite evident on the first song, "Day's Dawning," which sounds like a weak and somewhat playful version of some other Frampton song (none in particular, they all have a somewhat similar sound). Frampton himself explains the sound of this album in the liner notes. In talking about the English castle that the album was recorded in, he said, "The basic sound of this album can only be attributed to a huge amount of stone and too much food." How's that for being relaxed? Now that I've gotten my negative reflections out of the way. 111 tell you what I did like about it. First of all, though the songs do sound similar, they are all nice and they are relaxing. With Frampton's low-key delivery, it is quite easy for one to mellow out to this album. Secondly, I see a lot of potential for "Show Me The Way" as a top ten single. Its "soulful" harmony and rocking beat neatly combine to qualify for that dqbious honor. My favorite song on this album is without a doubt a suite of two songs: "Nassau" which is an acoustic interlude that leads into "Baby, I Love Your Way." Don't ask me what kind of hold this song has on me I don't really know. Maybe it's the way Frampton's voice sincerely croons out that chorus line, "Ooh, baby, I love your way." Maybe it's song. At any rate, those little riffs of his that make this I can barely sit still waiting for this song to come on when I play the John Baldry. Good To Be Alive (CasablancaL John Baldry is a British rocker with a voice somewhere between a 50-year old David Clayton-Thomas and a smooth sounding Joe Cocker. His latest album is a mixture of 50’s rock, 70's rock and some folk songs. The album opens with the title track, "Good To Be Alive," a hard rocker in which Baldry sings about different situations that made him feel "good to be alive." The highlight of the track is the electrifying guitar solo by Sam Mitchell. The vocals are forceful and strong, which, along with the fine guitar work, make "Good To Be Alive" a good introduction to the rest of the record. A bright spot on this album is the Chas Jenkel number, "Let's Go." It's an up-tempo rocker with an almost identical melody to the great Little Richard Penniman's 1956 tune, "Rip It Up." Baldry really sings his heart out and the simply lyrics "Let's go, let's go; let's drive through the country we gotta see" that are repeated constantly during the song give it a pleasant 1950's flavor. It even has the routine mid-song horn riff that was common to 50's music. This type of song seems to be Baldry's bag, but unfortunately he refuses to stick to it and ventures into too many other types of music on this album. Baldry is totally out of place on "Rake and a Rambling Boy," a traditional folk song. It's one of those folk songs with just the singer and a banjo backing him up. This is fine if you've got the voice for it. For someone like Baldry, rock and roll is the only music where his weak voice isn't that much of a liability; he should leave the folk songs to the Arlo Guthries and Joan Baez's. At least he had Leslie Duncan singing co-vocals with him, which saves the song. Baldry took a tune written by Bo Diddley, "Let Me Pass" and recorded it the way Diddley would have wanted it recorded. The lyrics are vintage Diddley (which isn't saying much considering one of Diddley's most famous songs "I'm A Man" has practically no other lyrics but "I'm a man-m-a-n"). So on this song, although the lyrics are primitive compared to say, Joni Mitchell's, Baldry is at home with them. It opens with; "Well, I'm a honkin' my horn, won't you let me pass, I gotta hurry up cause I'm running out of gas. The police car told me to slow down, cause I'm runnin' too fast through the heart of town; I said my baby's gone, well, my baby's gone, I said my baby's gone . ." It's not the type of lyrics one would write today, but in Baldry's case, since he's good with 50's material, the lyrics . don't matter Martin Luther King was a great civil rights leader. He died almost seven years ago. All right, it was fine and thoughtful for Baldry to do a song about him. But with Baldry's voice, he's unable to effectively hammer home his message about King's wishes for brotherhood and peace for everyone. The rest of the album is mediocre. Baldry's version of Rod Stewart's "Gasoline Alley" is fine in every aspect except that his vocals don't come near Rod Stewart's. On "Maggie Bell," a soft rocker, Baldry lets everyone know how much he loves his "Maggie Bell" by continuously repeating, "I love. GOODTO BE ALIVE John Baldry love her so." The song is pleasant to listen to, but there's not much meaning to it except his great love for Maggie. On the whole, while succeeding on the 50's rockers which Baldry seems most comfortably with, the album leaves a lot to be desired. Baldry had no right stumbling through folk songs and being socially conscious on an album. If he is so concerned with, civil rights, he'd be better off speaking out rather than "waxing" his views. He's fine with his type of song; but that's where his talents begin and end. In the future, hopefully Baldry will stick to the 1950's music and forget about folksinging and whatever else we wants to experiment with. Better luck next time, John. —Steven Brieff ".incredibly powerful and inspiring..’! —John Barbour, NBC-TV “The best film at the Cannes Festival.

Times HEARTS MD MINDS Hi Page fourteen The Spectrum Friday, 11 April 1975 . . IHTIICTID «> Prodigal Sun �Editor's note: This review is dedicated to Chuck Hammer. Eric Clapton, There's One In Every Ciowd (RSO) I don't know why, but it's only recently that I've begun to realize that the music I grew up with now belongs to the past. It's a new generation of rock on the scene today; post-activist, post-campus riots, post-revolutionary. (The kings are dead: long live the queens.) The toll was heavy. How many of the sixties idols and leaders died, for how many absurd reasons? Though some survived, none Escaped the consequences of wealth, fame and influence. Some, like the Stones, retained their popularity but lost their power over the mass imagination. Some, like Sonny and Cher, opted for crass commercialism. Some are so burnt out that they're as good as dead (you mean Ginger Baker is still alive?). Some, like Steven Stills, retired into the hills with their guitar collections and their cocaine. Eric Clapton lives in Jamaica now, and he takes life alot easier. He's one of the luckier ones. One of the survivors. His price? Energy. There’s One In Every Crowd, as you might guess, is, on the whole, a very mellow album. Clapton has gone through a lot of personal dues paying in recent years, kicking junk and getting his head together, and has come out on the other side of superstardom. Gone, the lightning fast, super-tasty riffs. Gone, the stack of Marshalls (or Fenders) blasting on ten. Gone, the electricity that crackled in the air. So what's left in its place? A less neurotic, wiser, older, more mature man, with music that reflects his experience. Rather than going for the personal ego trip, Eric has gone for a group sound. This was evident on 461 Ocean Boulevard, his last effort (with the same band), and the trend continues. On There’s One In Every Crowd sometimes he succeeds, sometimes he fails. Some of the songs are simply boring. "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" is a good example. As with most of the other monotonous tunes, the initial idea (in this case, imposing a reggae rhythm on a traditional gospel song) is good, but the song doesn’t go anywhere. It builds a little (more voices, more instruments), but not enough to hold our interest throughout. "The Sky Is Crying," an Elmore James-Morgan Robinson number, is the kind of tune Clapton used to use as the background for one of his many demonstrations of what playing electric blues is all about. Now, without those leads, the song sounds flat; monochromatic. yet another reggae There's even a sequel to "I Shot The Sheriff" tune about a man falsely accused of shooting a deputy ("Don't Blame Me"). Strangely enough, though this song suffers from the same lack of excitement, the melody and chord changes are enticing enough to make it listenable (it was co-written by Clapton and Terry). But the master's hand is still in their pitching. It's much more evident on side two, where all but one song is written by Clapton himself. Maybe the fact that they're his own compositions stimulated him into some sort of creative action. Whatever the reason, these songs reach out and take hold. "Pretty Blue Eyes," for instance, starts out as an airy samba, delicately woven with acoustic guitar, bass and Latin percussion (casabas, gourds), drifts into a dreamy straight-ahead 4/4 sequence with a chorus of oohs and a cathedral-sounding arrangement, and then goes back into the samba. There's some very pretty acoustic riffing, and you get the feeling that Clapton is very much at home here. "High," a song with double electric leads (reminiscent of "Keep On Growing"), has an undeniably catchy beat and melody, and the song just keeps you rolling along with it right to the end. Even "Better Make It Through Today," though slow and subtly arranged, is a good enough composition to stand up and grab us. And the vocal on this song is particularly interesting, sung with sincerity and obviously close to home: Life is what you make it That's what the people say And if / can't make it through tomorrow, / better make it through today. It seems to me that Eric Clapton, always known for and saddled by his unique talent for playing the electric guitar, is beginning to emerge as a different kind of talent: that of arranger and composer. The songs on this album written by him are just so much better, inherently, as musical and lyrical compositions, that I wonder why he bothers doing anybody else's stuff. As I said before, Clapton is one of the lucky ones. Not only has he survived, but he's still alive and kicking, albeit at a much less fiery pace. Every time .Eric goes through a change, he gets kicked in the ass for it: people say he’s over the hill, he's burnt out, he's afraid. All he's doind is continuing to experiment with his own vast musical potential; something most superstars are too scared to do. And though the Clapton of this phase will probably no more resemble the Clapton of yore than Manassas resembles Buffalo Springfield, well, it's another era -Wills Bassen now. and after all, we've all gotta keep on growing. * lOcc, The Original Soundtrack (Mercury) If the Marx Brothers, by some incredulous quirk of magical transposition, were performing within the contemporary medium of rock and roll they would undoubtedly be lOcc. You immediately quip with eyebrows arching and your right hand miming the presence of a cigar, "That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard" in the best Groucho voice you can muster. Okay disbeliever. Show me, Missouri mania. I'll unfold and parade my thesis right before those Doubting Thomas eyeballs of yours. By pairing prodigious portions of parody and pun, those puckish pranksters, lOcc, have produced their latest product. The Original Soundtrack. All alliteration aside amigos, lOcc's music has always been powered by a wry sense -of humor. They capitalize on clever word games and their wondrous knack of spoofing various musical genres. Anyone hearing "Rubber Bullets," off lOcc's first recording venture, is aware and can testify to the group's comedic stance and success. The targets of the sardonic barbs unleashed by lOcc are often pompous authority figures much akin to the Marx Brothers use of wit. The Original Soundtrack once again finds lOcc up to their old tricks, cramming the tracks with cackles, chuckles and just plain goofs. "Une Nuit A Paris" is a three part skit that lampoons everything from An American In Paris to Cole Porter's Can Can. The band even croons the lyrics with shoddy French accents. If fast and furious punning delights you, then "Life is a Minnestrone" is your cup of soup. I'm leaning on the Tower ofPisa Had an eyeful of the tower of France I'm hanging round the garden of Madison And the seat of teaming And the flush of success Relieves a constipated mind I'm like a gourmet in a skid row diner A fitting menu for a dilettante. The absurd fun and games keeps flowing throughout the entire album from the amusing anti-religiousity of "The Second Sitting For The Last Supper" to the extreme and rampant romanticism of the mandolin filled "The Film of My Love." Co-starring you And co-starring me Starring us both together The film of my love Will travel the world Forever and ever and ever A back lot romance A scripted affair The screenplay a blessing from heaven We're gone with the wind On the Orient Express to join the Magnificent Seven.

Their vocals are sweet and sure, eliciting the response that they sound like the Beach Boys. That is, if you can imagine the comic incongruity of Beach Boys' vocals clowning on societal foibles rather than the juvenile pap and preoccupation with the sun and surf fetishes — of Southern California that so concerned the Beach Boys. But there are a few snags and minor problems with The Original Soundtrack. lOcc's production utilizes nifty know-how yet, at times, the music suffers from a muffled and diffuse sound leaning of so much sound tends at times to forfeit a solid focus on which to ground the music. An additional problem resides in the fact that the music seems to be in a state of transition, with lOcc not fully sure of what new musical motifs they desire to incorpoate or explore. Yet these difficulties are part and parcel of the growing pains of a top flight band. The Original Soundtrack is cerebral music. You must invest the time and produce your own film. The discriminating sould with an appetite for a band with a sense of humor and a bit of social consciousness will find lOcc as tasty a morsel as flaming brandy on a crepe suzette or perhaps more appropriately, animat crackers with duck soup. C.P. Farkas — . - Prodigal Sun Old And In The Way (Round) Nya ha, Willa. You thought this was just another no-name record, didn't you? Well, it isn't. Nya ha. (That's nyah-nyah, isn't it? -ed.) That is, not unless you consider Jerry Garcia, Vassar Clements and Sea Train's Peter Rowan no-names. And "Midnight Moonlight" has been getting a lot of air play. Which is perhaps a little odd, considering the nature of Old And In The Way (a convenient tag for album, group and concept all at once). This is country, pure and simple. It is not rock, not even "country-rock," if that term has any meaning in these days of the Allmans and the New Riders. Old... is a resumption of, as David Grisman refers to it in his liner notes, "a quest [for the! 'high lonesome sound' of Bill Monroe, Flatt and Scruggs, the Stanley Brothers and other idols [Vassar among them] .** Grisman, Garcia and Rowan were all on this quest in 1963. Ten years later, they came together with Clements and John Kahn at San Francisco's Boarding House to pick up the thread. This record is the result. Old and in the way That's what I heard them say. They used to heed the words you said. But that was yesterday Is that, in any way, the attitude of these musicians to the string band sound? Do they feel that either the older practitioners of this music (Vassar, again, among them) or the music itself is in danger of being ignored, being passed over in the wake of electronic innovation and glittering gadgetry? I don't think so. For the young players, it seems more in the nature of a renewal, a reacquaintance with the roots both of their own music and the styles that encompass it. It's significant that, of the ten tunes of the album, only two are traditional folk. Clearly an effort is being made by these people to view these roots in a functional context; to do something with this past. Superficially, Old... is similar to the Vassar Clements solo album I talked about last week. The Clements disc, however, was a studio product, an essay in riffsmanship. Here there's an audience, a very appreciative one, and the give-and-take between them and the performers puts the pressure much tower. Everyone is clearly enjoying himself, even the people shouting ''Foggy Mountain Breakdown!" and "Ray some boogie!"; it makes things that much easier for us to enjoy. A trailblazer this isn't, even if they do give us a bluegrass "Wild Horses." Most of the material is very similar in sound, even in tempo; a bit more variation would have been very nice. These people do have the capacity to bring more imagination to this music than they did, but simplicity was an important choice to be made, and if the alternative was overorchestration, I'm satisfied with the way they handled it. Best of all, everyone has enough confidence in his abilities to be free from the compulsion to constantly demonstrate them. Technically, ... Dements' fiddling is more spectacular on his solo effort, but here he's much looser, and more of a pleasure to hear. Same goes for the others, especially mandolinist Grisman, who has just enough flash to perk up the ears of any Bill Monroe fan. No, it's not a masterpiece, not a baltbuster; but it's very pleasant music, probably the same kind they'd make on your front porch. There is better country and better bluegrass around; for right now, though, this'll do fine. (Unsolicited plug: both Old And In The Way and Vassar Clements can be had at the Record Co-Op downstairs.) —Bill Maraschiello Friday, 11 April.1975 The Spectrum Page fifteen . . �Making your mark in business used to mean carving a comfortable niche for yourself and staying there.

I wish to point out that in The Spectrum’s coverage of last Monday’s SA meeting, it neglected to give credit to the actual authors of the Attica resolution, the UB Attica Support Group. While many of us have in theory supported the struggle of the Attica brothers, these people have, since last year, consistently been fighting, educating and organizing campus Attica activity. It was their efforts which called for and organized Monday’s presentation and resolution calling for a peaceful non-violent demonstration and also the appearance on campus last week of William Kunstler. They finally received such verbal recognition in Amy Dunkin’s article in The Extra on April 3. However, I find such post-hoc praise to be disturbing. Was it necessary for me or Michele Smith or another member of a “recognized” student group to speak for them before The Spectrum reported their efforts? Perhaps it would not be necessary for The Spectrum to joke about the “pseudo-activism” of such groups as NYP1RG or CAC if it would more consistently cover the efforts of “true” activists. The successful passage of the resolution and ensuing demonstration was not directly due to my reading of it, but because of the collective efforts of many people and especially the UB Attica Support Group. In your selection of pictorial coverage of last Monday’s meeting, I wish that it was them and not me that you had put on'the front cover. Gloria Pruzan Tasteless, humor — In studying U.S. foreign policy, one is amazed by the skillful and ruthless ways Americans have used to get out of their commitments, whether legal or moral. After 1945, when the American public was growing tired of helping Chiang Kai-Shek, excuses were quickly found to disengage the U.S. of its promises: The Chiang government was corrupted, its soldiers unwilling to fight... The same thing is happening in South Vietnam. It’s time Americans woke up and admitted that the past and possibly future Communist takeover in China and South Vietnam had and would come as results of thenown attitudes. The political and economic setbacks in .South Vietnam are the inevitable remember, it is consequences of a long war fought on South Vietnamese soil. In the U.S., where economic progress seems at its peak, some elderly people are eating canned dog food! Not a single government can claim it has no political opposition. South Vietnam, which has been unstable because of this 30-year-old war, naturally faces a more serious problem. Has any attempt been made to go behind those closed doors of China and North Vietnam to count the number of their political prisoners? A U.S. Congressman quotes a South Vietnamese as saying, “We don’t like you Americans anymore,” and bitterly remarked how little gratitude is returned for “all we’ve done.” Well, gentlemen, these are the things you have done: You have exploited the anti-Communist sentiment among the South Vietnamese during the post-Geneva period (which would probably have been settled by a negotiated agreement) to make the Vietnamese fight against one another. As a result of this fighting, Vietnam, North and South, remains a backward country, its people poor and illiterate, making it even more vulnerable to foreign influence in the present as in the future. — — To the Editor. Journalism has reached a new low. I refer to the April Fool’s Day article about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I’ve never had a beef about the actions of The Spectrum before, but this incident truely appalls me, as I’m sure it does many others. On November 22, 1963, the most tragic, repercussive killing, perhaps ever in the history of Man, took place. The President of the United States was savagely murdered and afterward, two more human beings died. From the evidence now surfacing, there is reason to believe all this was perpetrated by elements of our own government, namely the C.I.A. This, gentlemen, hardly calls for humor. On the contrary, it is a very grave matter indeed. Our nation is still licking its wounds as it tries to climb out of an abyss of mystery and doubt about the slaughter of its 3Sth President. That column space could have been constructively used to inform readers about new theories pertaining to the assassination. Instead, we got this worthless filth. Did the writer know that new evidence is now surfacing attesting to the innocence of Lee Harvey Oswald? I doubt it. It appears this person was too wrapped up in his morbid, repulsive humor to consider such matters. To be sure, the only April Fool I found in this article was the guy who wrote it; or maybe the editor who let it pass. Let’s hope The Spectrum has more taste and class in future editions. Tom Ban Stealing from Woody Allen To the Editor. An assumption inherent to the freedom of expression given American newspapers today is that such expression will at least be original in content. Plagiarism is one of the most severe crimes which can be committed within the intellectual sphere. Such a crime occurred in the April 2 issue of The Spectrum. In an article entitled “Talk and dead bird mar baseball game,” the author, Dave Anybody?, plagiarizes the “versatile humorist” Woody Allen. At the end of the article the- author states that the reason why the coach was thrown out of the game was because he told the umpire to “go forth and multiply, though not in so many words.” This is a clear adulteration of the Woody Allen joke which goes, “I told him to be fruitful and multiply, but not in those words.” Dave Anybody should not compensate for his own lack of humor by stealing a joke from Mr. Allen. We suggest that an apology by The Spectrum and the real author is in order. We further hope that such malfeasance and evident lack of integrity never again occurs. Louis Masur Mark Rich man Gossage, Vardebedian, Lars and Metterling — Out After you have succeeded in creating a strong anti-Communist feeling among the South Vietnamese, making them less tolerant and more suspicious of the very thought of negotiating with the North Vietnamese, you suddenly became tired of the whole thing. Your “let’s-get-it over-with” attitude, starting from 1968, has proven helpful in speeding up the North Vietnamese invasion, not only in the South, but in foreign countries as well (Laos, Cambodia). When President Thieu’s untrickiness in politics made it impossible for him to understand why he should negotiate with the Viet-Cong which was not even a legitimate party, let alone a government, you made him out to be a villain. Since 1968, he has been the main obstacle to “peace” talks. On the other hand, the North Vietnamese (the “bad guys”) suddenly turned — into heroic figures who “built before American bombers came, rebuilt after they left.” It now becomes clear that when a small, backward country receives and depends on foreign aid from the U.S., its fate depends on the will and moods of its ally: its ideology becomes a dispensable commodity; surely American interests are not. The South Vietnamese people have been lured to fight the North Vietnamese Communists for 30 years now, and during the past couple of years, they have had to defend themselves against their anti-Communist ally as well. Now the problem facing the South Vietnamese grows in intensity. They don’t know whether to go on fighting a desperate war against the North Vietnamese, or whether to stop, thus rendering all the blood, tears, sweat and mourning of their people during the past 30 years meaningless and unnecessary. Whatever agreement is reached, the North and South Vietnamese should not and will not forget what the U.S. has done to them. Now do you still wonder why the South Vietnamese, the Americans have practically become enemies? — — of the grave To the Editor. Recently, the Ellicott Complex has been awarded recognition for architectural excellence. As a resident of the fab Amherst Campus, I feel that this award was about as justified as Adolf Hitler getting the man of the year award from “Commentary Magazine.” I mean, well just look at that mess of strangely proportional nipple colored brick that must have been designed by an architect experimenting with LSD. As anyone who has been within it’s boundaries knows that the only thing that can find its way around in the mass of ever twisting, maze-like corridors is people like the anti-semitic Thank you graffiti scrawlers.

I would hate to live there being the lover of simplicity that I am. (I love to sew.) Please Mister or Ms. award giver stay there a week and then make your decision concerning the award. I bet you change your mind. I did! (And I’m glad I did.) - Frank L. Wright P.S. I rolled over in my place when I heard about the award. Preposterous! from Lon Nol To the Editor. In response to Mr. Homik’s letter of March 26, a few points are omitted from his description of the Cambodian situation. Before we go ahead and spend money, we must look at all the facts. Firstly, if we look back into the recent past, we can’t help but put the fault on the U.S. for the war to begin with. Nixon, with his henchmen in the CIA, succeeded in overthrowing the neutralist regime of Sihanouk and replaced him with a puppet, Lon Nol. The U.S. further aggravated the situation by invading Cambodia in April 1970. The Khmer Rouge viewed this invasion as imperialistic and have set themselves and their country of the U.S. and it’s puppet leader. Secondly, we do not view the South Vietnamese and Cambodians as mindless, sub-human peasants, but as courageous human beings for standing up against the U.S. invaders of their lands. Had the U.S. not blocked the elections in South Vietnam and overthrown the Cambodian government, there would be no bloodshed. The domino theory is beginning to show that wherever the U.S. sticks its nose, there’ll probably be trouble and war. Also, who has the right to say that the governments of Lon Nol and Thieu have any right to govern? Neither has been elected by the people, isn’t that what Nixon and Ford were trying to defend? Thirdly, as seen in present day news reports, a lot of the food and money the U.S. is supplying is ending up in the black market. How much of the U.S. tax dollars is it necessary to waste before this is realized? How much more must we spend to support Lon Nol’s residence on the French Riviera following his defeat? Finally, if Mr. Homik still believes that the U.S. should aid the Lon Not regime and since it is only “an infinitesimal fraction of the U.S. budget,” I’m sure that he, and a few of his friends can get a collection going, and send it over there. I don’t want my tax dollars wasted any longer!!! Who knows, he might even get a personal thank you from Lon Nol. Alan Alterbaum Keep printing military ads of rhetoric. Political discussions and views should continue to be presented in this paper. I would like to caution the Editor, however, to regulate the quantity of such discussions, which could easily exceed a point of saturation. I was irritated by the previous two letters in their constant use of the word “demand,” a practice full To the Editor: I would like to congratulate The Spectrum for continuing the military advertisements. For a large segment of this nation’s poor, the army is a valuable instrument in their climb from unskilled to skilled labor. The army also provides for higher education which is too costly for many. The Spectrum is here to serve the university community, not to become a mouthpiece for the Revolutionary Student Brigade (RSB). For a newspaper to remain viable, it must contain a multitude of viewpoints. Very few people would read The Spectrir.t if it became narrow-minded and which ends the give and take relationship between an author and the reader. The attitudes which the RSB revealed in these letters are merely manifestations of the illogical, impractical and rude behavior which they displayed at the Chile Conference. G.

Executive Vice President Arthur Lalonde suggested that the names and numbers of Assembly members be published because once elected, SA members lose contact with the people who elected them. Publishing names and numbers, he said, would enable “your constituents to contact you if they want you to present something. It will allow you to be true public officials,” Mr. Lalonde stressed. The resolution passed, but only after it was amended to allow individual Assembly members to withhold their numbers.

Other performances expected are the Buffalo Philharmonic, dance, arts. opera and organ recitals.

The keyboard, which sits on an elevator platform, has been at its lowest position for about forty years. Althoygh Mr. Mangel does not play the organ, his extensive work and interest in the instrument have atuned his ears to acute sound quality differences. The sound produced from the organ now does not yet please him. “To others, it sounds okay, but I can hear the defects,” he said. He expects it will take about a year of additional restoration work before the instrument will meet his standards. Mr. Mangel expects this organ to sound better than the organ at Radio City Music Hall. Although the organ there may be a better instrument, the accoustics have been destroyed by the air conditioning units, according to Mr. Mangel. The Loews new air conditioning unit is at least compatible with the accoustics, although the original unit used less energy to cool the air.

So here’s the Pabst challenge: Taste and compare the flavor of Blue Ribbon with the beer you’re drinking and learn what Pabst quality in beer is ail about. But don’t take our word for it. Taste our word for it. PABST Since 1844.The quality has always come through. PABST BREWING COMPANY Mllw«ulw«, Wit.. P«ori« Wight*. III., N»w«ft. N.J.. Lot Anglo.

He has led campaigns to take unsafe cars off the road, clean up the environment, make legislators more accountable to the people and expose the dangers of nuclear energy.

The nuclear struggle pits most of the federal government, utility companies and nuclear power industry on the pro-nuclear side, against the citizen’s groups, environmentalists and a growing minority of congressmen on the anti-nuclear side. Last month, thirty members of Congress, led by Rep. Benjamin Rosenthal (D., N.Y.) appealed to the nation’s radio and television broadcasters to provide air time for critics of nuclear power in an effort to balance the promotional campaign of government and industry. “This year alone, the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and its successor agency, the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) are spending over $2.3 million on public information campaigns designed to sell nuclear power. The industry is spending several times that amount,” Rosenthal and his colleagues claimed. Pro-nuclear campaign The financial big guns are on the side of nuclear plants. The Atomic Industrial Forum (A1F), a group made up primarily of officials of electrical utilities and nuclear industry companies, was recently discovered to be covertly funding a $1 million campaign to saturate the public with material favoring nuclear power plants. “One of the most important ways in which A1F can step in to help fill the information gap is to stage manage the news as effectively as (anti-nuclear groups) . . . Reporters and editors cannot be relied on to publish a full and balanced account of nuclear power,” a memorandum outlining the pro-nuclear program stated. The memo called for nuclear energy proponents to ghost write articles which would then be released under the names of various nuclear experts in favor of nuclear power. In addition, nuclear industries have spent millions in both covert and above-board publicity campaigns. Last fall, Rep. Les Aspin (D., Wise.) discovered that a local pro-nuclear group was being secretly funded by four major Wisconsin utilities. stressed that college students have sufficient time, interest, and ability to tackle real-life problems and put their skills to work. “You’re as free now as you’ll ever be to pioneer, experiment, dare to ask the tough questions, and carve put new roles,” Career Nader Mr. continued. He cited three major assets that use a in students could broad-based community effort. they First, have access to knowledge as members of the University.

Large companies are against it because the source, which is the • sun, is impossible to monopolize. This is why the United States has spent only $50 million on solar energy research while at the same time pouring $800 million into moon exploration. Less hoggish Since waste has fostered economic growth in the past, Mr. Nader reasoned that “waste is the present of object energy patterns.” He urged that we end greatest innovators and critics. this trend by abandoning the nuclear option and opening up the Toughest battle Given these assets, students can solar option, which would make structure the kind of power they the United States “less hoggish in want to wield, Mr. Nader asserted, its consumption of the energy of explaining that there are large the world, help curb inflation, and numbers of students, including a put value back into the consumer voting block of 10 million.

Lastly, students are young, and at the peak years of and imagination creativity, the making them potentially broad-based, toughest citizen Whistleblowing. I ... Opponents organize Despite a comparative lack of money, anti-nuclear forces have been gearing up intensifying their campaign. One of the biggest nuclear critics in Congress has been Sen. Mike Gravel (D., Ark.). At Critical Mass ’74, a national forum on the dangers of nuclear power organized last November by Ralph Nader and host of environmental and citizens’ groups, Sen. Gravel predicted there would be “some fireworks over nuclear power in the 94th Congress.” To make certain, Sen. Gravel’s office has confirmed that he will reintroduce a bill calling for a five-year moratorium on licensing and construction of nuclear while the Congressional event of accidents and to produce proof to Office of Technology Assessment conducts the state legislature. It also demands public hearings be held around the state on nuclear power and that evacuation plans be published for areas surrounding all nuclear power plants. In Oregon, a bill is pending in the state legislature which, if passed, would prohibit construction or expansion of any nuclear power facilities in that state for at least five years. Similar bills are before legislatures in Iowa, Massachusetts, Michigan, Oregon, Missouri, Minnesota and Wisconsin. According to a report by Investors Responsibility Research Center, nuclear foes have the upper hand this year despite the financial power of the nuclear industry, President Ford’s plans for 200 plants by 1985 and favorable lobbying by the Federal Energy Administration. “The slowdown of growth in demand (for nuclear plants) will lessen pressures to expand development of nuclear power. It seems clear that most projected increases could be forgone,” the report concluded power plants a study of the plants and their hazards. In addition Mr. Gravel hopes to amend the Price-Anderson Act, which comes up for renewal this year, to eliminate the current ceiling imposed on financial liability in the event of nuclear accidents. Moratorium Various groups, such as the Union of Concerned Scientists, Friends of the Earth, Committee for Nuclear Responsibility and others have also been lobbying for a moratorium similar as the one Mr. Gavel has proposed. The National Task Force Against Nuclear Pollution has attempted to get 500,000 signatures on a petition to Congress supporting a moratorium. There has also been action at the state level. Californians for Safe Nuclear Energy gathered 470,000 signatures a month ahead of its deadline to put a nuclear referendum on the 1976 ballot. The ballot initiative calls for the nuclear industry to assume full liability in the . « �f >*n w % Bill to aid consumers buying hearing aids a 200-300 per cent which dealers say is necessary because of service and by Liz Deane includes Spectrum Staff Writer mark-up Two bills, one that would require prescriptions for hearing aids and another that would free provide voter-information before elections may soon be passed by the State legislature, according to New York Public Group Interest member Jill Siegel. (NYPIRG) The hearing aid bill is designed to protect consumers from fraud by dealers who sell hearing aids to people who don’t really need them, or sell costly aids when less ones would be expensive adequate. , The need for this type of legislation was discovered after a NYPIRG study of hearing aid practices in Queens, N.Y. The study allegedly found that hearing aid dealers made misleading and false statements, and that testing procedures were shoddy. “And this is not an isolated case, it happens all over,” Ms. Siegel said, adding that “other studies verify this information.” dealers’ solution to the problem was licensing, although the idea included a stipulation The that already dealers would not have to practicing take the licensing test. NYPIRG would like to make the process similar to the purchasing of eyeglasses where the patient must obtain a prescription from a qualified doctor. “Seventy per cent of the customers go straight to the dealers without first consulting a doctor," Ms. Siegel said. This creates a conflict of interest by the dealers because they make more money if they sell more hearing aids, she explained. Ms. Siegel suggested that before purchasing: a hearing aid, individuals should consult both a doctor and an audiologist, who is trained to rehabilitate people with hearing problems by teaching them skills such as lip reading. The average hearing aid should cost about $400. This price The Spectrum is published Monday.

Hearing aid manufacturers and dealers are currently lobbying against the legislation, but Ms. Siegel is optimistic that the bill will pass. Voter bill The Ballot Pamphlet Bill is to increase designed citizen-awareness of political issues and candidates before election day, so they can make educated political decisions. The pamphlet, which would be sent to all registered voters, would include a brief explanation of each amendment to appear on the ballot with a summary of major arguments for and against it; the name and office sought by each candidate; a short biographical statement; and a description of positions taken by the candidate on major issues. Candidates could check the publication for accuracy, but the overall for the responsibility pamphlet would remain with state election additional could add that would officials. For an fee, the candidate a personal statement also help pay for the pamphlet. The pamphlet would also “non-partisan contain information,” said Ms. Siegel. Similar programs are already operating in Oregon and other western states. Assume responsibility NYPIRG feels constitutional amendments and propositions which appear on state ballots are too often confusingly long and complex, partially because some pertain to particular counties or cities while others are statewide. NYPIRG believes the state should assume some responsibility for educating the electorate, and that the pamphlet bill would help accomplish this. difference!!!

Bums and Goodman cited many previous legal decisions which tended to uphold their contentions. But Mr. Bums, former director of the Attica Brothers Legal Defense, and who joined the defense team only Tuesday, did not confine his remarks to the technicalities of the dismissal motions. Campus Editor State Supreme Court Justice Mattina reserved ruling Monday on a motion to drop murder and felony murder indictments against former Attica inmate Shango (Bernard Stroble), accused of killing fellow inmate Barry Schwartz, in the early hours of the September 1971 uprising. Arguments made in support of the pre-trial motion to dismiss marked the first time statements were permitted in court dealing with the political aspects of the prison rebellion, information that was ruled irrelevant in the Dacajewiah-Pernasalice trial. Judge Mattina had previously indicated that he would permit this type of testimony to be entered into the court record. John Special Assistant ‘Frame-up’ “This is a frame-up, and I’m ashamed,” he told the court. “When we see the way justice has been preverted, we’ll learn a lot.” Pointing to the 42 Attica related indictments, “the racism and abuse of power,” Mr. Bums said the damage already done so far “irreparable.” He then gave the floor to Shango, who is acting as his own attorney for the common law, or direct murder indictment against him. Attorney Generals Patrick Moynihan and William Nitterauer contend that “As an oppressed black man, 1 cannot say I respect the court you represent,” Shango began. Shango explained the injustices heaped on black people over the Barry inmate Schwartz’s throat because Scwartz and inmate Kenneth Hess, also found murdered, spoke to a reporter without first getting cut Chango “hypocrisy leaders. The Motions begun Defense attorney Ernest Goodman initiated motions Wednesday morning to dismiss the murder indictments. Mr.Goodman said he would prove the prosecution was guilty of misconduct for withholding potentially exculpatory evidence from the Grand Jury and the defense. It was reported Tuesday that an important member of the Attica special prosecutor’s office has resigned and charged the chief prosecutor with covering up possible crimes committed by law enforcement officials who put down the prison uprising. An inquiry into whether state troopers and correction officers Hey wood Bums committed Jury proceedings burdensome integrity” The crux of the defense arguments is the so called Brady order, a legal ruling which compels a prosecutor to provide a Grand Jury with all known facts, crimes “lacks and was being “aborted,” and the special prosecutor “repeatedly refused to allow witnesses to be called, questions to be asked, leads to be followed and legal and logical conclusions to be utilized which will allow a fair presentation” of th£ cases to the grand jury, according to a letter written by Malcolm Bell, formerly special prosecutor Anthony Simonetti’s chief assistant. The prosecution replied by stressing that Thomas Hicks “acted together” with Chango in the murders of Barry Scwartz and Kenneth Hess; the new information therefore would not exculpate Shango. The prosecution claimed in court that is is not incumbant upon a prosecution to supply a Grand Jury with all the facts because it would make the Grand even if contradict they sought by the indictments prosecution. However, defense attorney Heywood Burns, also a visiting professor of Law at the State University at Buffalo, said previous rulings have made it incumbant upon Grand Juries to prevent innocent people from being implicated in crimes. A jury of eight men and four Saturday convicted Dacajewiah (John Hill) of first degree murder and Charlie Joe Pernasalice of attempted second degree assault in the death of guard William Quinn.

Constitution.” He pointed out how many amendments which the purported to protect individual liberties of balck people actually do nothing at all. “What does due process mean to black people,” he asked. “As a black I am not acquainted with process.” The “equal that protection” clause in the fourteenth amendment, Shango said, has never been accepted by the “white racist blind.” Citing the trials of Martin Sostre and George Jackson, he observed: “Black people walk into years permission from the inmates negotiating board, comprised of many of the uprising’s political defense, on the other hand, claims that Barry Schwartz and Kenneth Hess were murdered by inmate Thomas Hicks, killed during the retaking, of D yard, and whose role in the case the prosecution intentionally and illegally concealed from the Grand Jury which handed down the indictments against Shango. In that case Judge Gilbert King refused to admit defense statements concerning conditions which precipitated the rebellion, the treatment of prisoners after the prison was recaptured, and the political motives behind the ordered assault on D yard, which resulted in 39 deaths, and the subsequent indictments of a courtroom to face a white jury, white prosecution, white stenographer, white bailiff.” Parallels drawn Shango likened the Attica rebellion to the slave rebellions in this country in the late nineteenth century. “The hypocrisy of this country is well recorded by this country’s blacks. Attica is only a small example of this,” he asserted. Shango recalled that he was shot three times during the assault on the prison and tortured the following night. “I was marked for death by the corrections officers . . . who made me crawl on my stomach with my face to the ground through water and mud and blood,” he said. “I knew they wanted to take my life that night.” Then, pointing to the prosecution team, his voice rising, he declared the the prosecution had only indicted inmates because “it is not a crime to kill a slave in America.” faces multiple life on one common law murder and two felony murder Shango sentences indictments.

The Spectrum has recently run advertisements by the Western State University College of Law and the University of San Fernando Valley College of Law, both in California. However, pre-law advisor Jerome Fink told The Spectrum that neither of the schools are accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA) nor are they members of the Association of American Law Schools. While both schools claim to be accredited by the State of California, graduates of these schools will be unable to take the bar examination in states other than California.

First, you must have a letter from your instructor saying that either you are in danger of failing or that you are in serious need of tutoring in that particular subject. You then can get a tutor either through the department offering the course or you can request one from the Office of Veterans’ Affairs at 216 Harriman Library. In either case, you must bring the letter to the Office of Veterans’ Affairs. There you will be given a one page form to fill out for the VA. This form is filled out either at the end of each month of tutoring or at the end of the. semester and returned to 216 Harriman Library.

' Page four The Spectrum Wednesday, 9 April 1975 . . C// -r V * �Students as participants Bad publicity Pot studies criticized by ‘Consumer Reports by Neil Klotz Special to The Spectrum ’ Consumer Reports magazine has issued a report charging that a pattern of wide publicity for unfounded adverse medical research on marijuana has been established by much of the nation’s scientific community. In its March publication, the Consumers Union said that a “horrifying collection of marijuana hazards” have been widely publicized recently, but “when a research finding can be readily checked an allegation of adverse marijuana effects is relatively short-lived. No damage is found and after a time the allegation is dropped often to be replaced by allegations of some other kind of damage due to mariju|na.” Speculating that it is too early to determine the true effects of marijuana smoking, the report suggested that a better picture of the long-term effects could be obtained by studying a country where marijuana has been a daily custom for years. ... — (CPS) For the first time, students have won the legal right to participate in collective bargaining negotiations in higher education. The Montana legislature has passed a bill that grams students not only the right to observe' bargaining sessions between faculty and administration, but to also participate actively in* caucuses as part of the public employers’ team. Although students at several schools across the nation have been allowed to observe bargaining sessions by the mutual consent of faculty and administration, this consent has often dissolved, leaving students on the outside while negotiations directly affecting their tuition, class size and governance rights continued. Montana is the first state to guarantee student rights during bargaining. Supporters of the bill have received assurances that the governor will sign the measure into law sometime next week. - “Usually students don’t become aware of bargaining until their faculty and administration have already negotiated away many of their rights,” said Mr. Nelson. “Hopefully we’ve gotten in before there’s any damage done.” Although the student bargaining bill passed the State House 60-31 and the Senate 41-8, the student lobby had to contend with a number of groups originally opposed to the legislation. On one hand, said Nelson, were the faculty unions, whose initial reaction was “shock and horror and outrage.” On the other were those pro-industry legislators who didn’t like collective bargaining in the first place. A third group were state congresspeople “who don’t feel students should have a damn thing Jamaican study The magazine went on to cite a Jamaican study of 60 men, 30 of whom had smoked eight marijuana cigarettes a day or more for an average of 17.5 years. The study concluded that “the long-term marijuana use by these men did not produce demonstrable intellectual There is no evidence to' suggest brain damage.” or ability deficits . In responses a countercharge by the National Institute on Drug Abuse that the Jamaican study was unreliable because the study group was not big enough, the magazine pointed out that a widely publicized study linking marijuana to brain damage involved only 10 men. All 10, the magazine went on, had used LSD, eight had used amphetamines, four had significant head injuries, and a number had used other drugs such as heroin, barbiturates or morphine in addition to marijuana. But the study concluded that marijuana was solely responsible for the test results. One authority was quoted by the magazine as saying that “speculative connection between cannibis use and brain damage is .. highly suspect.” The Consumers Union report pointed out that marijuana smokers as a whole do not show the adverse effects cited in unfavorable studies. As to be expected, not everyone concurred with Consumer Reports’ opinion. “To suggest that there is a pattern of serious consequences and as I think tends to ignore soon as they are checked they are disproved or mis-state what the present status of the situation is,” declared Dr. William Pollin, director of research for the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

HILLEL invites Oneg Shabbat you to an — Kumsitz Led by Jack Buchbinder APRIL 11 at 7:30 pm FRIDAY The most stipulate that: important provisions Of the bill Each student government may designate an agent to meet and confer with both its board of regents and with the the public employer faculty bargaining team before bargaining begins. The student team may observe negotiations and participate in the caucuses of the public employer/regents’ team between sessions at the - - - — table. Students may meet and confer with the regents’ team concerning the negotiated agreement before the contract is signed. Student observers must maintain the confidentiality of the negotiations. Although the measure does not grant students the right to veto a contract, it does allow them ample opportunity to voice their concerns throughout the bargaining, according to Bruce Nelson of the Montana Student Lobby, who was instrumental in formulating and gathering support for the legislation. “Students’ whole lives can be affected by a faculty strike or work stoppage,” Mr. Nelson said. “If you’re going to subject them to such a burden, they should at least have some say in the process.” Although no faculties in Montana have unionized yet, elections for bargaining agents will occur on several campuses in the state soon. — — The student lobbyists, however, convinced both pro-union and pro-management forces that students could help them by*participating in the session. As part of the public employers’ team, students would lend extra clout. But as advocates of certain faculty concerns, students could do that group some good inside a management caucus, the lobby argued. Although the tactic of playing both ends against the middle worked, it did have an element of danger, Mr. Nelson noted. “Since this was a first, the newness of the whole thing allowed us to use a stfategy that gave us nearly a unanimous vote,” he said. “But if the strategy had backfired, we would have gone down to a unanimous defeat.” The University Jazz Club and UUAB present in concert — Second floor lounge of Red Jacket-Bldg. 3 Enjoy Kiddush, Songs,Stories, Refreshments sa* Heron and also - Campi Beginner and Advanced Students Welcome!

Wednesday, 9 April 1975 The Spectrum Page five . . �Failure in the Mid-East The recent collapse of the Middle East negotiations is conclusive proof that Henry Kissinger's exclusionary, divide-and-conquer diplomacy will never bring about a peaceful settlement. Mr. Kissinger's "step-by-step" approach to the Middle to separate Egypt from the East ostensibly had two goals other Arab states and exclude the Soviet Union from any role in the settlement. In this way, Egypt would be isolated from the Soviet Union as well as her natural allies. But what Kissinger failed to understand is that. Egyptian President Anwar Sadat would never alienate his neighbors or surrender the leverage that could be gained by playing the two the United States and the Soviet Union superpowers against each other. Many months ago, critics of the Kissinger approach wisely urged that the Soviet Union be included in negotiations at the earliest moment. If joint agreements and guarantees could be worked out through private diplomacy, they reasoned, there would not be a need for an expansive session of the Geneva conference. As for Kissinger's intention of isolating Egypt from its allies, many observers believed an agreement with Egypt alone would not be worth the paper it was written on. Certainly, if Syria or Lebanon went to war, Egypt could not remain on the sidelines and abandon the joint Arab goals it has espoused all along. It was not surprising that the negotiations broke down over precisely this issue. Israel was demanding, in return for territory, assurances that Egypt would not join with the other Arab states in a war against Israel, even though Egyptian President Anwar Sadat would never have gone along with this plan because it would be viewed as a betrayal of Syria and Lebanon. And even if he had, his pledges would have been worthless because he would have at the same time been forced to make symbolic compensations to his Arab neighbors that would have negated such pledges. In effect, operating with Sadat alone was tantamount to encouraging him to make pledges of non-beligerency that could never be kept. At the same time, Israel was reluctant to trade concrete things like land, strategic passes and oil wells for intangible pledges that it knew Egypt was reluctant to make in the first place. Mr. Kissinger compounded these structural flaws in his diplomacy by trying to oversell his plan for peace. By repeatedly warning that the collapse of step-by-step negotiations would leave the question of peace up to the Geneva Conference where the Soviet Union and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) would be represented, Mr. Kissinger made this a more attractive alternative. And his practice of playing on the Israeli fear of the Soviet Union is likely to make the Soviet Union more stubborn at Geneva, and encourage Egypt to prove its independence from the United States. As the Ford Administration reviews its Middle East policy in preparation for the Geneva conference, it would be wise to learn from its past mistake of relying on separatist, personalized diplomacy and begin acknowledging both the Soviet Union's role and the bonds between Arab countries that will not be broken by any kind of negotiation. — — - The Spectrum Wednesday, Vol. 25, No. 75 Editor-in-Chief - - — — Advertising Manager - Business Manager - We guess that the rising crime rate will be an issue in the next presidential election and that after the voting is over, whoever wins will appoint another crime commission. Then after a year or 18 months the new crime commission will bring in a solemn and eloquent report that will be forgotten shortly thereafter. It will be forgotten because it won’t tell us what we want to hear. What we want to hear is that the disgraceful American crime rate, which jumped 17 percent in 1974 (highest since the FBI started collecting statistics 45 years ago) is caused by coddling criminals, parental permissiveness, the uppitiness of non-whites and abolishing the death penalty. No, what the prospective crime commission will tell us, as a long line of previous (and now forgotten) studies have told us is 1) that crime is connected with other social problems and. particularly poverty; 2) that crime is principally deterred by the celerity of justice, not the severity of justice; 3) that America’s unique widespread distribution of firearms and particularly handguns is just fine for robbery and murders, and keeps the United States up there at the top of the crime league among all the big nations, and 4) that, if we really want to reduce crime, it will cost a pretty penny in social reform and police improvement, and that probably no single investment of money, however big, will so improve the quality of American life as meeting that cost. Richard Nixon made a fine thing out of crime. Every now and then there is an intense spasm of social fury, as Felix Frankfurter said, and on the issues of law and order Nixon helped create that spasm, and then benefitted by it. In 1968 he said the Supreme Court and Attorney General Ramsey Clark were soft on crime, which flowed from “a generation-long experiment of leniency with criminals.” (The Warren Court had ruled that it was unfair to beat up suspects in police stations and deprive them of lawyers). “We cannot explain away crime in this country,” he said, “by charging it off to poverty.” That was fine for the hustings because the more complex a problem is the more the listeners want a simple answer. After the '68 election, Nixon had the awkward task of showing that he had reduced crime when he ran again in 1972, and later on. “The 17-year rise in crime has been stopped,” he told the nation incorrectly in January 1974. “We can confidently say today’ that we are finally beginning to win the war against crime.” What nonsense; what audacity the man had. It would be impossible to interview the Nixon crime-fighters on this today; they are all in jail. He himself told the nation in 1973 that the only way to attack crime is “without mercy.” He got Gerry McKeen Neil Collins ... say The law-breaker is “likely to be a member of the in the country, poorly educated and perhaps unemployed, unmarried, reared in a broken home, and to have a prior criminal record” (President’s Commission on Law Enforcement). Most of these commissions end with a burst of rhetoric and one must always remember that simply because they are eloquent does not necessarily mean they are untrue. Hear, for example, what the Katzenbach report said: “Waning on poverty, inadequate housing and unemployment is warring on crime. A civil rights law is a law against crime. Money for schools is money against crime. Medical, psychiatric and family counseling services are services against crime. More broadly and most importantly every effort to improve life in America’s ‘inner cities’ is an effort against crime.” What a change in American life because of crime. Fifty years ago many people didn’t lock doors at night. Judged by other countries the decay in American security is unique. It is possible to walk the strets of European cities safely at night. Americans are diverse in origin but that is hardly an adequate explanation for the crime rate. We are coming to live in bolted fortresses. Contrast Tokyo: it has the largest population of any city in the world and the lowest crime rate. There were 213 murders in 1970 (three with pistols), and New York (a third smaller in population) had 1117 murders, two-thirds with guns. The Eisenhower report five years ago found 90 million firearms in civilian hands, including 24 million handguns. If the Women’s movement would pardoned. There was the Wickersham crime commission in now recognize revolvers as a chauvinist male sex 1931;.

The Kcmer Commission ruefully noted the testimony of distinguished sociologist Kenneth Clark saying that he had heard the whole scenario on crime before: with the It is a kind of Alice in Wonderland same moving picture re-shown over and over again, the same analysis, the same recommendations, the same inaction. The Eisenhower Commission picked up the Clark quote from the Kemer Commission. Then, in 1972, came another report from the nonpartisan business group, the Committee for Economic Development. It listed its predecessors and also noted their unheeded message: “Their recommendations over a period of 40 years display a remarkable degree of consistency and A suitable agenda for action has thus similarity for 40 years.” Crime costs the available been business community $16 billion a year, it said. That was 1972. They should tell that to George Wallace. The last time we saw that bitter-tongued man of the people, he was rubbing his hands over the crime issue and vowing that if he had his way he would make Washington’s streets safe of bring in the troops. (Setting there in a wheelchair it did not seem fair to ask him if he still opposed gun control.) Is it astonishing that serious crime has jumped percent 17 in the U.S. when unemployment has soared?

I’d like to voice my feelings about the meeting held in Haas Lounge on Monday, 9 a m. by the Attica Support Committee. While organization and education are important, there comes a time when immediate action is necessary to move the struggle forward. However, the mechanics of organizing should have been relegated to the Attica Support table in Center Lounge. At the meeting, it was agreed that the courts work for those who control the courts. After the convictions, it became obvious that the only thing we can depend on the courts for is more convictions on coerced evidence. All the Support Committee said was to petition, write letters, post signs and build to get more people out at a later date. If we work within the framework of the system we will just lose again and again. Those who control it can manipulate it, and us if we act only within the guidelines they provide. What are we going to do in Albany, build for another rally? Petition the representatives of the system to release the enemies of the system? The lesson of Attica is one of all people uniting against the imperialist system that oppresses us all. It is fighting back against it wherever we are. To sap our strength by listening to those who acknowledge the imperialist system as enemy, yet refuse to struggle against it is giving up with only token efforts to ease liberal consciences. Remember the lessons of Attica and live them. Shades “Spring will be a little late this year.” Around July 1 1 believe. Buffalo’s weather is making it hard for me to want to defend it lately. I don’t care if it is the worst spring storm since 1961, it is still ridiculous. Irregardless of how grand glorious a time I had Friday night doing 180 degree turns on the wonderfully slippery and empty streets. Too much is too much! If all the snow had melted by Sunday so we could get the daffodils back on schedule, then it would have been a lark. As it is there are too many robins sitting on bushes disgruntled. Which is about as far as the light stuff will take us. The ungodly mess in Southeast Asia is “stabilizing," I hear. And there is a verdict in the first major Attica trial. Maybe the weather was an accurate foreteller of unpleasantness to follow. The Attica tiral seems the hardes to see clearly. A choice was made by someone, someplace along the line to make this a political trial. This seems to me to be vaguely a contradiction in terms. A trial such as this is by its very existence, political. The importance of winning on a political basis instead of in terms of reality frankly escapes me. As this was in and of itself a w. ||a political trial, so a victory had to be a political"victory. The probability of convincing a Buffalo jury to deal with the death of a jy policeman as a political act seems very small. That they fey sift* are liable to deal any less conservatively with the death of a correction officer seems doubtful. Kunstler is a magnetic, charismatic figure. Not knowing a great deal about law, 1 have no idea how good a lawyer he is. He may very well have been the right lawyer in the wrong place. There have been any number of political movements capable of sacrificing human beings to further the goals of the movement. I have an abiding fear that justice may have gotten lost beneath rhetoric in this case. The case on its face seems substantively weak. Even the relatively (?) conservative Justice King found it necessary to drop some charges as unfounded. And the same honorable judge seems to have made some possibly reversable errors in his comments to the jury. But the issue for me is why the jury refused to notice the gaps in the State’s case? Why were they unwilling, or unable, to come to a conclusion of reasonable doubt when the evidence seems confusing, doubtful, and contradictory. At least one friend of mine wondered out of Tarantula To the Editor. .And so the Attica Brothers were convicted. GUILTY black bold print echoes pupil contraction madness of inhumane human injustice. All of it, everywhere. Injustice creeps (kkrreeeepppss) like the . . haunting spectre.

Over the last few years I have (along with the of the student body) had the misfortune to watch ol’ Clem Colucci in his eternal search for a “scoop.” Mr. Colucci with all his self-righteousness and general “know-all” ability has been subjected to dealing with all of us peons and hacks at this lowly University. Poor Mr. Colucci has had to concede “minor points” like the life of Dacajeweiah when he could be really developing himself with his fantasies about Dr. Hunter S. Catfish. After all, we all know that these Attica trials are only isolated, rare incidents. Why bother doing anything when you’re always outside looking in. (Rumor has it that Clem’s middle name is the same as his column.) Why doesn’t Mr. Colucci come out and lead us into his oblivion. It must be tough to be always right. I agree with Mr. Colucci that he would march with Marxists, right-to-lifers, Native Americans, etc., especially if it yields him more people to be better than. rest David Chavis P.S.

Correction Correction: In Monday’s The Spectrum, the headline Unintended use of EUicott poses maintenance woes, erroneously reflected the theme of the article. The writer intended to give an architectural appraisal of the structure, not to add to the complaint about it. ffl»ta|fc OF REFUGEES WHO /"* loud 1 if the jury were really trying Kunstler and not the defendents. Given the reality of human frailty and the current unavoidably of jurors being human, it seems impossible to know why what happened did. Perhaps the movement is not so much dead as myopic, unable to see the realities for the showmanship. Large pieces of men’s lives are important; more important, perhaps, than the public presentation of political rhetoric. Just so, the current influx of Vietnamese orphans is also suspect in my eyes. The publicity being afforded a program that will bring out 10 to 10 thousand orphans, many of them in wretched physical condition, is fine. What it not so fine is the fact that the political question of why the hell they are orphans in the first place and how we avoid producing as many more as are being airlifted out are being totally ignored. Even more horrifying to me is the fact that the U.S. government will be even more directly responsible for any bloodbath in Vietnam in another way. Unless you have worked for the U.S. for IS years you cannot get a visa to leave Vietnam for this country. Our immigration laws are not going to be relaxed in this or any other situation apparently. That means that a Vietnamese national had to be working for this country by 1960 or before to be allowed out of Vietnam and into the States. 1 saw the IS year figure in only one place, but the reports from Saigon seem to confirm that the very people the North Vietnamese are liable to consider traitors are locked out of the U.S. Talk about abdicating responsibility! We went in there and hired who knows how many thousands of Vietnamese to work for us. These people are now, rightly or wrongly, very probably very high on the North Vietnamese-Viet Cong shit list. It is reasonable from their point of view to see these people as expendable, if not outright traitors. And we, well, the Federalista’s currently occuppying Washington have the gall to talk about the awful things the bad guys will do when they take over. The issue of Mai Lai aside, i.e. which side is the bad guys, the question of why all those folks are going to be there to get bloody seems an eminently reasonable one. So, spring will finally come, and what will we have then I best beloved? It seems to be a barren spring, emotionally and politically. The robins are freezing and the daffodils exist only in florists windows. Two men will go to jail relatively unnoticed, and we will assuage our national guilt for creating a full fledged war by adopting some orphans. Ain’t that just fine. Happy rest of the week to you!

SASU hopes additional funds will be included in the state supplemental budget, to be voted on in June. Neil Seiden of SASU said the “SUNY budget is even less than the one proposed by Governor Carey, which was also less than the original budget proposed by SUNY officials. acquisition funds and “This cut has already effected hospital equipment throughout the State University system,” Mr. Seiden said. Additionally, new construction on the Amherst Campus could be cut in half, he explained. “There could also be drastic reductions in faculty, [and] teaching assistants, causing an increase in the student-faculty ratio and a decrease in course offerings,” said Mr. Seiden, who projected that funds for the work-study program would also be reduced. The State legislature may also increase tuition and dormitory rents. “New York Slate already has the seventh highest tuition rates in the country,” Mr. Seiden said, “and 69 per cent of the student body depends on parental incomes of less than $12,000 a year.” He pointed out that the state has given $146 million to private colleges and universities across the state for the 1974-75 academic year, and some funds have even gone to support athletic teams “when not a dime is spent on athletic programs at the State Universities!” Beginning today, tables will be set up on all three campuses urging students to write letters to their legislators. Postage will be paid for by the Student Association (SA). “If we are to stand a fighting chance against the budget cuts, we need the support of every student on campus,” Mr. Seiden asserted.

West preview St. Louis should ease into first place in the N.L. East. Ted Simmons and Reggie Smith are the big bats on a team that boasts four .300 hitters. But their pitching is suspect. Bob Gibson is getting old and the staff lacks that “pro” starter. The Pirates again boast that amazing hitting attack, featuring an outfield of Stargell-Oliver-Zisk. The defending champs still lack pitching, but that didn’t stop them last year. The Mets, man for man, may have the best defensive team in the division, particularly in the infield where it counts. But New York’s chronically anemic hitting should keep them from the top. The N.L. West race figures to be between the two talent-laden teams, Cincinnati and Los Angeles. The teams are evenly matched at eight of the nine positions, but at the most important position, pitching, the Dodgers have a-marked advantage. Their staff, centered around Andy Messersmith, Tommy John, Don Sutton and Mike Marshall, is the best in the league. Atlanta and Houston, two evenly matched teams, figure to fight a meaningless struggle for third place. The Astro’s are solid but unspectacular infield of Tommy Helms, Roger Metzger and Doug Rader gives them the edge. Atlanta has just too many weak spots in the infield, and after Phil Niekro and Buzz Cupra, their pitching is weak. San Diego, a team on the way up, could pass San Francisco, a team on the way down. Dan Greenbaum Larry Leva /oy Clark Mike O’Neill Montreal and Chicago bring up the rear as a result of trades which stripped them of players like Mike Marshall, Ken Singleton, Ron Santo, Ferguson Jenkins, and Willie Davis. Despite Charlie Finley, the Oakland A’s should go all the way again in the A.L. West. The loss of Catfish Hunter weakens what was once the strongest pitching staff in baseball, but the A’s offensive punch is something else. Billy Williams comes from Chicago to fill the only weak spot, designated hitter. The top challenges should come from the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals,. With the addition of Clyde Wright to the mound staff, the Rangers are only a solid fourth starter away from being a serious contender. Willie Davis traded from Montreal to fill in the defensive gap in the outfield. Meanwhile, the Royals will have to pull themselves together after their 1974 collapse to be considered a strong contender. The White Sox, minus Dick Allen, will have to depend on their solid pitching if it hopes to annex the divisional crown, as will the California Angels, who have the top starting rotation in the league in Nolan Ryan, Bill Singer, Frank Tanana, and Andy Hassler. Minnesota has too many holes to fill before they can move out of the second'division. The Yankees, with the additions of Catfish Hunter and Bobby Bonds will be in the A.L. East race all the way, but questionable infield defense may keep them from the title. Every year the Orioles seem to come up with another way to win the division. This year they have added Lee May and Ken Singleton, giving them the most powerful team they’ve had in years to go along with their league-leading defense. The Red Sox, who were in first place last year until September, will be in contention if pitchers Rick Wise and Reggie Cleveland have strong years. The Cleveland Indians have solid hitting but lack a quality pitcher whose last name isn’t Perry. The Brewers have Hank Aaron but not enough hitting to make up for a weak pitching staff. The Tigers have only young sensation Ron LeFlore to look forward to.

BOX 907 ITHACA .N.Y.,14850 • While there were no outstanding performances on the field last week (in fact, there were no performances at all), behind the scenes football was undergoing its umpteenth attempted revival. This one appears to be serious, and most of the credit goes to junior Charles Ciotta. Charlie is attempting to bring back football on the club level, with exhibition games against local schools like Canisius and Niagara. While his ideas may never get off the ground, we give him an A for effort, as well as this week's Athlete-of-the-Week honors. | I tickets for the Please send me folk festival.Enclosed please find * ALL-FESTIVAL TICKET-$6.S0 ea.

Speakers Bureau * Buffalo students look to harness racing title mmm Co-sponsored with G.S.A. presents: Erich Von Daniken JgmM Author of CHARIOTS OF THE GODS (Are there Gods from outer space?) IN A LECTURE AND SLIDE PRESENTATION Wednesday, April 9th CLARK GYM at 8:00 pm Tickets available- Tuesday April 8 at Norton Box Office by David J. Rubin Staff Writer The second phase of elimination in Buffalo Raceway’s Student Harness Racing Driver Championship has left five Buffalo students still in the running for the championship. Robert Adelman, Robert Balcerzak, Salvatore Galante, Frank Owens and Monica Winkel have survived the cut and will compete in Friday’s elimination race. Adelman, Balcerzak, Galante and Owens were among six winners of a lottery in which representatives from this University were picked. Ms. Winkel, an alternate selected in the same lottery, was apparently more impressive in the sulky than some of the winners and will race this Friday night against seven othej- students. One or maybe two Buffalo Drivers now have an excellent chance of advancing into the finals on May 9. Only three non-Buffalo drivers attended the mandatory practice session last Monday, so championship coordinator Mark Coloton had no alternative but to put five Buffalo students in the race to fill the eight slots. Although the turnout at the practice session was not overwhelming, Coloton was impressed with the overall capabilities of some of the candidates. He singled out Larry Zgoda of Villa Maria along with Buffalo’s Frank Owens and Monica Winkel as the top drivers in the group. Coloton and publicity director Chuck Burr both seemed very satisfied with the championship so far. “At least no one has broken a leg yet,” said Coloton. Both Burr and Coloton plan to continue the championship in years ahead. The student drivers are also quite pleased with the way things haye turned out. Comments lik#?*M aljJTof fun” and “I really had a good time” flowed from mouth after Monday’s head to head confrontation with the four-legged beasts. Buffalo’s Sal Galante was rumored to have said, “It’sjint like jogging,” but he later changed that to, “It’s a little bit like jogging." A schedule alteration due‘to spring vacations has moved Rosary Hill College into the eliminAti6ii!face against Buffalo and Villa Maria. 'April 11 elimination, will race at a Trocaire, originally slated for ->ai future date.

That was the verdict heard Saturday night in the Erie County Courtroom. Dacajewiah (John Hill) was convicted of murdering prison guard William Quinn and Charles Pernasilice was found guilty of second degree assault against Mr. Quinn, the only slain prison guard not killed by state police gunfire during the 1971 prison uprising.

Dacajewiah began to “I know that if John Hill is in * s jail for having killed a corrections officer, he will be killed or molested or injured or harmed in jail Mr. Kunstler said he made a deliberate attempt to make eye contact with the jurors when they filed into the courtroom to have the verdicts read, but could not. “I couldn’t and John Hill couldn’t. Their eyes were downcast,” he said. Anguished, Mr. Kunstler spoke about the judicial system that frees John Mitchell and John Erhlichmann but punishes those who rebelled against dehumanizing prison conditions. “The railroad goes on.” he said bitterly. As Dacajewiah was removed from the courtroom by Erie County Sheriffs, he retained his composure and told supporters to “be strong.” Special State Prosecutor Louis Aidala said the verdict “proves the judicial process works. I think that this long trial will probably go a long way to restoring the faith of the American people in the judicial and legal system in this country,” Mr. Aidala stressed. Waiting for the verdict had almost beome an occupation for many supporters over the past few days. Lenny Bruce’s thought, “In the halls of justice, the only justice is in the halls” seemed a reality to the many people who had waited throughout the weekend for the verdict. The third floor of the County Courthouse had taken on the appearance of a camping ground. Many supporters lay across benches or sat on the floor. Many others, however, were not even allowed to wait directly outside the courtroom, despite Judge King’s ruling that they would be allowed to remain there. On Saturday morning, there was a brief disturbance when supporters tried to enter the building and were met by Erie County Sheriffs. Mr. Pernasilice, Dacajewiah and defense attorney Margret Ratner stayed with supporters while William Kunstler went to ask Judge King why he had broken his pledge. faces.” On Friday, night, anxieties intensified after the jury requested the complete testimony of the two witnesses who had testified for the state against Mr. Pernasilice. Some observers took this to mean that the jury was “hung” or had reached a decision on Dacajewiah. The request for the Pernasilice transcripts also surprised many people because there had been virtually no evidence against him. No evidence Although one witness had testified that he saw Mr. Pernasilice strike Mr. Quinn once Restrain police on the back, medical reports At one point, Dacajewiah held showed that he had no back back a police guard to restrain injuries.

There was a general feeling of despair. Some discussion centered on the state prosecutor’s insistence on holding the trial in Buffalo, which is only forty minutes away from Attica prison, despite requests to hold the trial in New York City. When State University at Buffalo students learned of the verdict, more than 100 gathered in the Community Action Corps (CAC) room in Norton Hall. After the shock wore off, the students made plans for an emergency rally to be held this morning at 9 a.m. in Haas Lounge. The Dacajewiah-Pernasilice trial has received national attention because of the ramifications of the verdict.

And when record breaking 70 degrees. But 93 years before that, in 1881, the temperature dropped to a chilly 14 degrees. The most snow to accumulate on the ground in April was 4.8 inches in 1938, while in 1957 Buffalo shuddered under 67 m.pji. winds. Therefore, no records were broken during this — past storm. In fact, the U.S. Weather Bureau said the storm was not even unusual. However, the Automobile Association of America (AAA) received approximately four times the number of calls that it usually does. When questioned late Friday, it had already answered about 800 out of 1000 calls. The AAA says that cold and wet conditions create more “business” for it than icy roads, because that is when many batteries go dead. Campus Security reported about six minor “fender benders” on campus since the beginning of the storm. Calling conditions “deplorable,” Campus Security officer Wayne Robinson said maintenance was working “round the clock,” to plow and salt the roads. He explained that the major problem on the North Campus was the snow drifts produced from strong winds. Salting has not greatly improved road conditions because the winds have blown the salt away. “The storm is out-running the services,” Lt. Robinson said. The storm began from a big low pressure system out of the Southern Plains, .which is usually a large tornado area. It travelled up the Mississippi River, across to New York State and to the gulf of Maine. The U.S. Weather Bureau predicted up to 12 inches of snow and winds up to 55 m.p.h. by the end of the storm. Temperatures were expected to drop to 20 degrees, excluding the wind chill factor. “It can happen any time in Buffalo,” said a spokesman from the Weather Bureau. “That is, except for the summer months.” He suggested that the “summer months” consisted of the Fourth of -Fredda Cohen July.

The .Vietnamese people, after struggling for generations for the right of self-determination, deserve an end to foreign involvement in their affairs, or more specifically, an end to the years of American intervention and puppet governments. As the peoples of Southeast Asia near the real “light at the end of the tunnel,” officials of the United States government and various news media are embarrassingly caught up in the contradictions of their foreign policy and the distortions they generated to justify their imperialistic adventures to the American people. The crisis As of this writing, the Lon Nol government in Cambodia has effectively fallen, and Lon Nol himself has fled the country. In South Vietnam, the cities of Qui Nhon and Na Trang are no longer occupied by forces of the Saigon government, and there is almost universal agreement that Saigon itself can hold out for no more than a number of months. And, as with each previous advance toward self-determination by the peoples of Southeast Asia, the United States print and electronic media are busily churning out yet another series of distortions, half-truths and lies to justify past and present American involvement. These claims are repeated again and again, intentionally, in the hope that they will Come to be regarded as maxims. It therefore becomes important to take these claims one by one and examine them to find out how truthful they really are. Bathing in blood We are constantly being told that a “communist takeover” in these countries will result in a bloodbath. This is a favorite not only with the press but with government officials as well from Gerald Ford on down to a handful of reactionary — congressmen. There is, one might suppose, a probability that a number of the chief Vietnamese and Cambodian conspirators and architects of United States aggression will be tried for war crimes against the peoples of their respective countries. There is more than ample precedent for this; after our own war of independence, British collaborators were put on trial. But the history of the liberation forces indicates clearly that they will avoid these measures at all costs witness the fact that there has been no real attempt to close the airport at Phnom Penh so that those who want to leave may do so, as Lon Nol has already done. On the contrary, it is the governments of Saigon, Phnom Penh and the United States that have carried out the systematic slaughter of the opposition. Our name for it has, of course, been — pacification. The myth of disinvolvemcnt For more than two years, since the signing of the Paris Peace Accords, the American people have been told that our involvement was over. The simple truth is that American pilots are now flying American planes and arms into Southeast Asia. American personnel supervise and repair this equipment, decipher intelligence reports and actively take part in air surveillance. Whether these personnel are paid directly by the United States armed forces or by monies filtered through the puppet governments, it is undeniable that they work for the American military. These men and women constitute a mercenary army, no less a part of the American Armed Forces than their uniformed counterparts in the regular army or air force. So the reality is that the United States has maintained an active military role in Southeast Asia and is doing so today. The Pentagon, it seems, is not content to rewrite only history; it intends to rewrite the dictionary as well. By now, the vast majority of American people is aware that the American military involvement in the * Jp '•** "<-• * . countries of Southeast Asia (and many other countries around the world) is both immoral and illegal. We are caught up in the dilemma of guilt, wishing to divorce ourselves as a people from the years of suffering inflicted on others in our name and to somehow atone for that suffering. At the same time, we are extolled daily by our leaders in the federal government and the media to send even more money, arms and munitions to the Saigon and Phnom Penh governments. We are told that “American prestige,” something ephemeral that can apparently be measured only by Henry Kissinger, will suffer if we do not continue military aid. The truth is that the majority of countries of the world have, for years, considered American aggression in Southeast Asia an act of insanity at best. Nixon’s bombing of Hanoi and the mining of Haiphong harbor (both strongjy supported and argued for by Kissinger) brought a new low to world opinion of the United States. The continued appeals for more military aid prove once again that Vietnam was not a mistake, but part of a calculated and ongoing policy of imperialism and domination. Peace Accords Another continually repeated idea is that the North Vietnamese have constantly violated the Paris Peace Accords. Occasionally, some Eric Severeid type, feeling momentarily progressive, will admit that the Saigon government has violated the agreements as well. This is usually mentioned briefly, and in passing, and is accompanied by looks of terrible anguish and much hand-wringing. So the reality is again obscured. Former Undersecretary of State George Ball admitted last Tuesday in a television interview that the Paris Peace Accords were actually nothing more than a maneuver to extricate our uniformed military forces from Vietnam. He said the Accords were constructed specifically so that they would have no effect on either side in the actual fighting. Since there never was anything to violate, there were never any North Vietnamese violations. Refugees Perhaps the most perplexing of all the distortions is the allegation that thousands of refugees are fleeing before the communist “advance.” It is brought to us daily by armies of Walter Cronkites and hundreds of feet of newsfilm, sensationally portraying the plight of South Vietnam refugees who were not lucky or corrupt enough to be military or government officials or American embassy personnel. There are several reasons for this flood of refugees. A major reason is that the eleven years of brutal indoctrination (referred to by our media and government as Vietnamization), carried out by American troops. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operatives and ARVN troops, has had an effect on the civilian population. Soldiers who, in many cases, were literally taken off of the streets and forced to fight have little affection for the puppet government and less desire to fight for it. Most importantly, the refugees are fleeing the massive and indiscriminate bombing strikes directed by Saigon, a contagion left by the Americans at the height of our involvement. However futile the long journey away from the fighting may seem, it offers more hope than carpet bombing. A New York Times editorial last week concludes its view of the situation in Southeast Asia with the lines, “At issue are the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Their suffering must not be added to the American conscience.” After more than a decade and a half, it is still not clear to some people that conscience of America cannot be papered over or bought back with lies and distortions. The “credibility gap,” a polite euphemism devised by the media in an attempt to shift the responsibility for lies to someone else in fact, anyone else is as great as — — ever. The assimilation of a handful of the millions of children orphaned because of American aggression is meaningful only if we accept responsibility for their plight. Only if we cease to take shelter in comfortable fallacies can anything as grand as an “American conscience” become a reality.

In general it is a success,” Mr. Telfer observed. He rates the complex as “superior” for a modern building, in terms of design and appearance, but only “average” in maintenance. Although few would believe it, the EUicott Complex was not designed as a hide-and-go-seek playground for after school fun. The original function of the structure, designed by Davis, Brody, and Associates, was to house the colleges. Before it was discovered that the project was too expensive, it was expected that each college would occupy a whole quadrangle. The architecture was not inspired by any of an earlier period. “It was a product of our own experience,” said architect Lou Davis. The only other buildings this complex resembles are the other structures of this firm. Some of their more famous buildings include the Waterside Housing Project, the United States Pavillion in Osaka, Japan, and the Science Complex at the State University at Binghamton. These works have put this firm in the limelight of modern architecture. It was after the actual building began that the University realized it would not be able to afford such a structure for the colleges alone. But problems are first noticed after the actual building begins, explained John Telfer, Vice president for Some of the Facilities Planning. deficiencies that now exist in the structure have resulted partly because it is not used the way it was intended. Room converts Since it was not designed with accommodations for whole academic departments, residential quarters have been used for faculty offices and master suites are used for department offices. There is Modern problem Maintenance is a major problem in the most modern constructions. Because many parts are prefabricated, they often don’t quite fit the space they are put in. For instance, a prefabricated window frame, made according to a mold, may leave a small gap in the wall, letting in outside air. The same thing can happen with doors. This has not been a problem with the Ellicott Complex, because “there was no prefabrication,” according to Mr. Telfer. “It’s used something like 7000 tons of steel,” he said, adding “It is a sturdy structure.” Although most materials were selected because of their durability, plasterboard walls were used “because it is all the artisans will do today,” he said. The windows are larger and more expensive, and will be more costly to replace, if broken. Variety acclaimed ■The structure receives •rrest acclaim because of the variety of building shapes, combining low rise with high rise. Some other architectural merits include the attractive terraces and approach spaces, and the loading tunnel underneath, said Mr. Telfer. The architects are all instructors at universities. “We are student oriented,” said Mr. Davis, who teaches architecture at Yale University and Cooper Union. “We wanted to produce a building that wouldn’t overwhelm [the students], but place where their personalities could relate —continued on page 10— Editor wanted Applications for the position of Editor-in-Chief of The Spectrum for the academic year 1974-75 will be accepted until April 18.

Mr. Nader’s speech was jointly sponsored by Student Association and NYPIRG. They never had a chance "If people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks everyone and afterward, many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially." —Hemingway Prosecuting Attorney Louis Aidala called the guilty verdict a decision which “proves the judicial system works." And so it does. It proves the process works for the "haves" and against the "have nots." It proves that trumped-up charges, however poorly presented, can still convince a largely middle class jury that all its deepest and darkest stereotypes are correct. Regardless of what anyone says, Dacajewiah and Charlie Joe Pernasilice never had a chance in the world. With millions of dollars at its disposal, the authority to use parole as a means of coercing witnesses to testify against the defendants, and the ultimate say over where the trial should be held, there was no way the State of New York could lose. In a sense, the prosecution had more at stake than the two defendantsit needed to prove the validity of its propositions, propositions which rationalized Nelson Rockefeller's decision to send a firing squad into Attica four years ago. So when the defense sought a change of venue so that the defendants could be given a fairer trial, a change of venue was denied. When defense attornies passionately argued the importance of connecting the death of William Quinn with the bloody context in which it occured, it was to no avail. When William Kunstler literally destroyed the prosecution's case in a brilliant, eight-hour summation, no one was listening. The eight men and four women who voted for conviction were probably bewildered that the trial attracted national attention and hundreds of during the week. As they saw it, two men were accused of killing a prison guard. The men had previously been convicted of crimes, and had hired a prominent lawyer to defend them. That, unfortunately, was the extent of their understanding. Judge Gilbert King played on this ignorance, refusing to allow the jury to hear testimony that might explain why hundreds of men simultaneously felt the need to dramatize their plight in Attica prison. So no emphasis was placed on the fact that hundreds of bitter inmates were running through Times Square when William Quinn was struck, and that everyone was swinging at something, whether it was Quinn, each other, or the inanimate objects around them. A remark that Mr. Pernasilice had said in parsing, which a prosecution witness himself admitted he had not taken seriously, was given more weight by the jury than the quality of life at Attica at the time of the uprising. Miraculous as it may seem, the entire jury was convinced that out of hundreds of blows, only one blow the one Dacajewiah struck was the one that killed William Quinn. As one woman who worked on the defense said of the jury a few hours after the verdicts, "They needed a world of SA wrong on Attica a picket line.

Editorial Policy is determined by the Editor-in-Chief Page six The Spectrum Monday, 7 April 1975 . . by College F We wish to congratulate members of the Attica Support Group and the entire Student Assembly for their action Monday calling for Wednesday’s class boycott in support of the Attica brothers. Our encouragement to all students and faculty was to fully participate in the boycott, not merely by staying away from class for the day, but by getting personally involved in the spirit and purpose of the strike action for the duration of the Attica trial proceedings here. We at Tolstoy College (F), as anarchists, are wary of any effort to impose a political decision on an unsuspecting constituency. We supported the strike even though we realized that many people at the University have not yet made the kind of strong, deeply-felt connections in their own lives with Attica that alone would give genuine substance to SA’s call for a class boycott. Our hope is that the SA’s action will encourage the entire University constituency to re-think its political stance in light of the Attica massacre of September 1971, and the infamous and costly New York State prosecution proceedings which drag on to this dqy without getting to the root causes of the whole bloody Attica onslaught. We in the College feel that political activism counts for little when not connected to on-going personal struggles that we all face every day. Some of the “connections” we have established with keeps on rolling and after all the riots, arrests and other excitement, the State gets things back to normal with little evidence that anything important transpired at all. Yet, below the surface, the same resentment and dissatisfaction pervades, right now in 1975, at Attica Correctional Facility (as recent conversations with inmates reveals), and at — U.B. Isn’t it time we let some of the pressure off before both these institutions erupt again? The phrase “Attica is all of us” rings true only to those who have made some kind of identification with the Attica inmates and defendants and their on-going struggle. Reading the twisted versions of the Attica massacre first put out by the State, one could not help but empathize with the Attica insurrectionists when the full truth of the day’s events finally came out. (For a dramatic rendering of the event, nothing beats the well-documented A ttica film which the Support Group will still show to interested individuals, classes or other groups. As parts of the film were shown at the SA meeting Monday, it became obvious that it would not be necessary to long debate the pros and cons of the strike action.) Tom Wicker’s new book, A Time to Die, is another dramatic source for those desiring to learn more 6f the details of the Attica story. As one listens to the demands of the Attica inmates, today in 1975, the same demands for decent food and clothing, warmth, free access to reading materials, cessation of unprovoked assaults Attica are as follows. and dehumanizing routine rectal examinations that 1 Consider the fact that the State spends were apparent in the demands of the Attica millions on Attica prosecution costs while State insurrectionists, one hears the cry of one human University of New York (SUNY) students and being, locked up, to another, outside and able to do faculty and Civil Service CSEA employees on something about the situation.

In addition to his views on musical creativity, Mr. Dawson also attacked Ms. Wos’ review on the basis that she was disoriented in her approach to concert material. While I can agree with Mr. Dawson’s remarks about artist material selection, I also disagree about Mr. Dawson’s remarks about Ms. Wos’ review. Since Mr. Dawson agrees that a performer be allowed to choose their own material, he should also agree that a critic be allowed to formulate their own ideas and opinions. The Spectrum pays reviewers in the form of a free ticket and byline, to express their own opinions, just as Pauline Kael and Hal Crowther are do for their respective publications. Many times the public heartily disagrees with the reviewer. But if a reviewer only reiterates the public views, what good is the review? It would be similar to the musician turning into Mr. Dawson’s “puppet being.” Yes, Mr. Dawson, you can disagree with Sue Wos but you should also respect her opinion as much as you respect the musician’s opinion.

Immediate verdict To the Editor. I just received a bulletin calling for a mass vigil outside the courthouse where the Attica trials are being held. The bulletin concludes with the phrase, “The people must show what verdict they want!” 1 think that’s a fantastic idea. Popular justice is something we should all strive for. In fact, I have some ideas of my own that would require some restructuring of the criminal justice system, but which might be well worth the effort. My idea is that you would get together a large crowd not just students but people from all walks of life, a good representative mob. The crowd would gather in front of the courthouse, the defendant would be brought out, and they would vote. If they voted for acquital, the defendant would be immediately set free. If they voted for conviction he could be hanged right then and there. Just like the Roman Coliseum thumbs up or thumbs down. Even better, you could use an applause meter, like on the old “Queen For A Day” TV show. You could even wire it up directly with an electric chair and make the whole process fully automatic. This procedure would assure a criminal justice system that was quick, decisive, and genuinely popular in nature. And I bet it wouldn’t cost any nine million bucks either. I therefore confidently await its endorsement by the Attica Support Group. - - Robert A.

The crash of the C-5A, the world’s largest plane, resulted in the deaths of 181 people, fleeing the South Vietnamese capital, including 105 children. 124 people also on board survived the disaster. The C-5A has had a history of related occurrences, including wing cracks *nd torn-off engines. The‘mammoth airliner, which was to transport 243 Vietnamese orphans to Clark Air Force Base in the Philippines, crashed when the pilot attempted to return the plane to the airfield in Saigon after noticing a dangerous loss of pressurization.

But there’s one professional athlete who makes Walton’s antics look tame chess champion Bobby Fischer. Last week, Fischer lost his world title to Russian Anatoly Karpov when he refused to play a championship match under the rules set by the International Chess Federation (FIDE). The match, scheduled for October in Manila, had a $5 million purse. FIDE regulations stipulated that the match run a maximum of 36 games, with the first player to win six games getting the title. Fischer won the championship from Boris Spassky under these rules in 1972. — —Fagenson After a month in the Bubble by Paige Miller Tennis nets will be set up today for the first in the Bubble will be used on Mondays and Fridays. On Wednesday, only two of them will be set up; the rest of the Bubble will be used for basketball. A divider has been purchased to separate the two activities. time. The four tennis courts Spectrum Staff Writer The sind and snow howled across the Amherst tundra, last Thursday night, impeded by an occasional building. The wind sent ripples across the Bubble’s plastic ceiling, celebrating the first monthly anniversary of its opening. Inside, dozens of hearty souls who had braved the bitter spring weather were playing basketball. It would have been easier for them to stay home, but the Bubble was still doing its usual brisk business. Reaction has been almost entirely positive on the Bubble’s first report card. “It’s a blessing,” said Gary Sailes, the facility director. !‘The only criticism has been that there’s no wooden floor. Other than that, the people love it.” Statistics bear him out. An average of about 2500 people per week have been going to the Bubble, and many of them show up every day. The heaviest hours are between 3:00 and 5:00 p.m., and again between 7:30 and 9:00 in the evening. ' Less lighting, more funds Lighting also was a problem at first. Some students complained that the light would get in their eyes when they went up for a shot. Using a lightmeter, an engineer determined that there was too much candlepower per square foot and had several lights shut off. The problem was solved. Since less electricity was being used, and less light bulbs were needed than originally planned, the money appropriated for this will go for new equipment. Few problems Several members of the Buffalo tennis team tested the courts last week in a pre-season workout and all agreed that the surface was excellent, echoing the track team’s earlier approval. Surprisingly enough, the jough surface has resulted in only a few injuries. None have been serious. The first month served as a test period for the Bubble. All the problems usually encountered in the opening of a building had a chance to be worked out. While ferocious wind caused the Bibble to rip about two weeks ago, it took maintenance only an hour to fix the hole. According to Sailes, the sfaff of the Bubble also has been doing an excellent job keeping out those who do not have a valid I.D. card. Slowly, more and more activities are being integrated into the Bubble’s schedule. Tomorrow will be the first women’s night and volleyball and badminton will soon be available. The Buffalo frisbee team held its first two games in the Bubble over the weekend. There was a track meet recently in what track coach Jim McDonough calls the U.B. Airdome, and the International Living cfenter will use it for indoor soccer. Unfair To the American chamption, these rules were unfair. He proposed that the match’s length be unlimited. The first to win ten wins would win the match and if the match became deadlocked at 9-9, the match would be declared a draw and the former champion would retain the title. world “The official championship occurs only once in three years,” wrote Fischer in a cable to FIDE. “Temporary form, or team preparation, or luck should not be permitted to decide the result. The World Champion should be the world’s best player, nd lr match is necessary to reach a just result with nearly absolute certainty.” Unlike many of the other high-priced prima donnas in the American sports scene, Fischer was objecting to the rules, not the price. It would be hard to conceive of a similar situation in baseball, for example, where a star shortstop rejects a lucrative three-year contract because he is philosophically 6pposed to the infield fly rule. Russian agrees Fischer’s terms are not unrealistic..He has the support of other world-class many competitors, including some of the Soviets. “A 36-game limit? Why? There’s no point in it,” said Vladimir Baturinsky, a Russian can be grandmaster. FIDE compared to the owners of teams professional American refusing to change the sport for the better. Fischer is sticking to his principles as steadfastly as most athletes stick to their demand fcr more money. After he had won the World’s Championship, he was asked by a hair cream company to do a commercial for them. But just before the filming began, he exclaimed, “1 can’t do it. After all, I never use the stuff,” and he walked off. For doing what he believes is right, he deserves praise. Fischer, however, also deserves the blame for undermining the game he helped to build up. Before he won the championship in chess, he received relatively little attention. Boris Spassky received only $2,500 for winning 1969. the championship in Fischer and his antics put the world of chess in the public’s eye. The number of players, tournaments and the amount of the have increased prizes drastically since 1972. Ali analogy By surrendering his title without a fight, Fischer is hurting the world of chess. His dynamic personality, like Muhammad Ali’s, attracts interest from who might otherwise pay no attention. When he leaves the forefront of chess, he takes much of the game’s appeal with him. Just as boxing needs Ali, chess needs Fischer. Without him, there will be no more million dollar purses, no more national news coverage, no more “chess boom.” Fischer will Fortunately, probably be back. As a former world he is champion, automatically seeded into the candidates matches to challenge Karpov in 1977. But who knows what will happen to the game of chess in the interim.

Within a “hierarchy of space,” as defined by Mr. Davis, this green is the major public space. “Semi-private space” is the area between the colleges, or the quadrangles, which is shared among college members. Thus, “every college has a private turf, a semi-private turf, and a public turf,” Mr. Davis said, “and the club the village opens up on the common green. The surrounding landscape is expected — concluded.' Creativity stifled In any building, an architect’s creativity will be stifled by the budget alloted. If Davis, Brody, and Associates could “have had it their way,” some things would be a little different. For one, the bedrooms would have been made smaller, so that fewer students would have to be forced into one room. For another thing, the dining and living space would have been blended into one. Originally, it had been expected that half of the meals would have been prepared by the college, and most would come from a “If you wanted to eat French said Mr, or Chinese food, you could Davis. There would have been no specific hours or places for eating. Lastly, a system of banners, art and sculpture would have been used for identifying the different colleges.

Information concerning all full-time job openings is available in the Center’s reading room. Part-time positions are posted on a bulletin board adjacent to the office. The Center also prepares descriptions of job vacancies for 5 102 registered candidates, who this year will number over 7000. A bi-monthly bulletin is distributed throughout the University containing items of general interest, such as dates of forthcoming professional tests, on-campus interviews, workshops and seminars. The Center helps develop and maintain a personal, cumulative, professional credential file for any student. Copies may be forwarded to employers with permission of the candidate, and to graduate schools at the student’s request. Job interviews Representatives from graduate schools, business, industry, education, social services, and government agencies visit the campus from October to April each year to interview candidates for career opportunities. Assistance is also available for disabled students and staff who desire special service. The Reading Room of the Center is often frequented by 50-60 students a day. Its walls are lined with career literature, from accounting and advertising to volunteer programs, recruiting literature from different corporations and industries, and hundreds of graduate school catalogs. Emphasizing the success of the service, Karen Whitney of the Reading Room said, “When it gets to the point where Lockwood Library calls us for information on jobs and careers, we feel we’re doing a good job.” , Orientation aides Applications for Summer Orientation Aides will be available in the Diefendorf Reception Area, Monday and Tuesday, April 7 and 8.

Mr. Sciolino explained that he would not definitely have considered lesser charges for the two defendants, but added that he was influenced by William about in front of the courthouse, walking in no particular order, greeting each other and shaking hands. Within minutes after Mr. Kunstler had gone inside the courthouse, more police arrived and began pushing the demonstrators back across the street, apparently violating their own verbal pact made moments earlier. — Reasonable doubt Three of the four alternate jurors spoke with the press after pushed the case went to the jury and they were dismissed by Judge King.

As they reached the corner, automobiles police several screeched to a halt in front of them, the officers inside jumped out, and more police came from the front of the courthouse to push them back off the block. Defense William attorney Kunstler arrived and informed the demonstrators, after negotiating with police, that the only way could without they protest harassment was by simply milling around, rather than organizing an orderly picket line. At one point in the discussion among police, demonstrators and Mr. Kunstler, one unidentified officer called Mr. Kunstler a “fuckin’ Jew.” Mr. Kunstler later granted.

The demonstrators milled Police band together after dispersing a large group of protestors from in front of the courthouse (top). Erie County Deputy Sheriffs haul away a demonstrator at Wednesday's rally outside the County, Courthouse (bottom). grabbed him and took him to Buffalo police headquarters. When Mr. Heath told them he was a defense attorney, the police said, “You don’t look like an attorney, you look like a tramp.” Mr. Soloway was arrested as he ran up to the officers who were dragging Mr. Heath away. Mr. dragged away was Soloway backwards by his arms. Following several arguments and police between demonstrators, the police allowed the demonstrators to march single file in silence, without touching one another, around the entire courthouse. The demonstrators, now a slightly larger group, did this until about noontime. Police were markedly more aggressive and violent today in forcing the demonstrators from place to place. This was attributed to the fact that the protestors’ ranks had thinned considerably since the day before. Police pushed the demonstrators back by holding their nightsticks crosswise at their chests, occasionally shoving people with nightsticks or their hands. One demonstrator reported being poked forcefully in the spine, neck and ribs with a nightstick. The police “violated every legal principle. They were definitely Attica looking to provoke,” member Support Committee Bradley Angel said. ‘Like a tramp’ Mr. Heath was speaking wi several police officers when tht Do Yeursolf Plant- A Flavor . . .

The resolution noted that a number of local incidents had occurred which threatened the safety of Frechtman explained Both he and Dr. Zimmerman local citizens, particularly Jews. The Legion called on the police linked the timing of the show with memorial services next week and other governmental agencies commemorating the deaths of six to help ii inform the public and Anti-semitic activities aired An increase of Nazi propaganda in the Buffalo area has prompted the American Legion and a philosophy professor here to go on local TV show and discuss how to combat it. Philosophy professor Marvin Zimmerman, Charles Herschlag, past County Commander of the Legion and Joseph Frechtman, Commander of Coast Guard Post 1529 of the Legion, will meet with moderators Gary Luczak on WGR-TV (Channel 2) this Sunday at 12 noon. The local White Power organization will be discussed, along with anti-Semitic and anti-Black activities in general. The National Socialist White People’s Party of Arlington, Virginia runs a White Power Bookstore on Bailey Avenue. This store was the scene of picketing by the Progressive Labor Party several months ago, and has been named by representatives of Jewish groups as the source of much of the propaganda. million Jews and an estimated 14 million gentiles at the hands of Nazi Germany. “The best means of memorializing is to make sure that each generation is reminded how the Nazi movement got started in Germany by the use of false charges and propaganda, and how it seized control of the country by promoting the Bie Lie,” Mr. Frechtman said. “If the younger generation knew the facts,” he added, “there ild be little for ch? mted Id in expose local Nazis. Dr. Zimmerman speculated that he probably received the invitation to appear on the program despite not being involved in any specific anti-Nazi work now, because he had spoken before many local groups and had a reputation as being a staunch anti-fascist as well as an anti-communist.

However, the availability and cost of the Amherst site and its location near a network of major highways played a major role in determining the location of the new campus, Duane Moore of the Office of Facilities Planning told The Spectrum Tuesday. cautioned against the “1 selection of the site in the early 60’s but my influence was obviously not too great,” said Dr. Ebert, who has lived in Amherst since 1954. He explained that the area is susceptible to heavy flooding after rainfalls. “I speculated at that time that drastic precautions would have to be taken to prevent a major disaster,” he said. “When a site that is so obviously detrimental is still chosen, the reasons must be political,” he added. Accessibility President Robert Ketter denied, however, that political factors were responsible for the choice of Amherst as the sight for the new campus. He explained that between 1960 and 1963, two outside groups of engineers and city planners were hired to study five possible locations. Their findings were used by the State University Board of Trustees before they chose the Amherst site. Additionally, the size of the land and its location near Erie and Page four The Spectrum Friday, 4 April 1975 . . which counties, Niagara contribute a sizable number of students to the University, also influenced the decision, Dr. Ketter said. Most of the town of Amherst is on a flood plane, Mr. Moore explained. Floods caused by an overflow of the Ellicott and Tonawanda Creeks could conceivably cover the entire North Campus and extend to University Plaza on Main Street, he said. ‘Soft soil’ Mr. Moore recalled that floods occurred in 1960 and 1963. Additionally, he said that much of Amherst is “soft” soil rather than hard bedrock, which makes the support of heavy construction difficult. To avoid major damage to North Campus facilities, expensive engineering methods had to be employed, Mr. Moore indicated. All buddings are raised above the flood level, and man-made Lake LaSalle near the EUicott Complex was designed for drainage and to provide landfill, he explained. Because of the precautions, only some basements, roads and parking lots may be effected in case of a flood, Mr. Moore continued. The EUicott Complex was built on heavy columns drilled 20-50 feet underground to prevent the 38 buildings in the complex from sinking, he said. Construction and labor costs would have been lower if the campus were built closer to the Main Street campus, Mr. Moore said. A closer location was not selected, Dr. Ketter explained, because it would put an extra tax burden on Buffalo residents, since city governments cannot tax State University campuses. �Money available now Assemblyman urges construction speed-up by Kim Weiss Staff Writer total,” Mr. Fremming maintained, get “so the sooner we construction underway, the more Construction on the Amherst we will get for our money.” Campus must be accelerated According to the Amherst before inflation increases building legislator, the completion of the further, costs any said new campus would have a Assemblyman G.

That was a terribly arrogant statement to make. It was as if he were saying “After all, they’re JUST students.” In occurred to me later that that lebel “student” holds many different connotations. In that case, he probably regarded students as infantile brats who were incapable of becoming adults, or at least, incapable of understanding those cherished institutions and norms which “adults” can only perceive. Once students realize that changing the old way is impossible, they may safely join by Sparky A1 zamora The Attica mentality Anyone who still does not fully understand what Attica is should be shown a videotape of Judge Norman Stiller's Erie 9 County Courthouse outside the performance Wednesday. Then they will see how Judge Stiller called Dacajewiah and Charlie Joe Pemasilice "murderers," said the phrase "Brothers," as in Attica Brothers, was "disgusting," threatened to arrest anyone who uttered a word and expressed disbelief at how the demonstrators did not realize was disrupting outside the Courthouse their presence "justice." • - r r> And then, almost as an afterthought, the Judge admitted that he was not the law he was greater than the law. Although outrageous in themselves, the arrests of seven demonstrators on Wednesday and Thursday one of them a must defense attorney in the Dacajewiah-Pernasilice trial importance when be relegated to a position of secondary compared with the minds that were responsible for them. One can see now, perhaps more easily than ever before, how men in prison can reach a point where preserving their lives becomes less important than preserving their dignity. - — — Norman Stiller is by no means the odd-man out, the lone freak at a circus side show he is one of the highest judicial officials in New York State, sworn to uphold the principles of free speech and peaceful assembly because he is considered more adept at it than most men of his profession. — On the comer of Main and Bailey stands a restaurant which I’m told hates University students. And if this hatred of students is not obvious, then the service is lousy. I can’t ell you firsthand; I’ve neven been in the dive. But I have walked hurriedly past the place, pausing just long enough to peer inside. Once, the entire row of patrons sitting at the bar stared back at me and in unison, gave me the finger. As I recall the action was totally unnecessary; there was no way I’d want to go in there, in fear of losing my life and my hari. They must h$ve known I was a student, we have this incredible aura that tips rednecks off. So why this intense dislike? Again, I’m told that the regular patrons did not appreciate the student activism of the late sixties-early seventies. That’s understandable; not a whole lot of members of the surrounding community favored students back then. As a matter of fact, 1 doubt many have forgotten what went on, and at the same time, they may feel it could happen again. It sounds almost idealistic, but it could happen again. The grudge has lasted, in many cases, for five years. We are not the same students that were here in 1970, while our attitudes also differ somewhat. We are (were) here to advance our education for the fulfilling prupose of finding a job that we’re likely to have for the rest of eternity. Now is different from then because of the scarcity of good jobs. There are jobs, which are jobs, and there are good jobs which everyone is groping for. In 1970, the picture did not appear too bleak for employment, and thus, students their energies towards more could direct humanitarian goals. Today, it’s everybody for themselves pretty much and the degree of extra-curricular activities has fallen off sharply. I would not call it “selfishness,” it’s more a matter of survival. It’s nice to go out and do things for the less fortunate but it you haven’t got the means, it appears futile Actually, nobody in the community has the right to feel the same as they may have five years society. This believ is still shared by people in the as well as a number of administrators and faculty here. And now, the old hatreds have popped up again with the emergence of Attica as a highly political and moral issue. It’s not so evident within the University, that is, administrators have not spoken out, and appear to have kept their while feelings underground. President Ketter, meeting with Student Association officials on the possibility of a University strike (later denied), has probably brushed the matter aside by now, perhaps regarding all the hoopla as a student whim. He may have felt it unfortunate that the trial happened in community, ' Buffalo. The students who demonstrated outside the Erie County Courthouse Wednesday had different reasons for being there. Some have a genuine interest in the inequities of the system, others were there to relive 1970, and most, I hesitate to say, wanted to see demonstration was all about. When six students were forcibly arrested, the ralliers acted in confusion; they learned too well that there is a glamorous about particularly nothing demonstration that turns to violence. It must have been a discouraging sight. If they had stood with the police, as one friend did, they would have also learned that the officers still harbor a great resentment towards them. My friend overheard the police talking about the students in tones that could be described as downright hateful. The police remember the riots what a If a State Supreme Court Judge believes that dissent and community’s too vividly. the again, but then free speech shortcircuit justice, that the law exists to serve ago, 1 got my first inkling of community reaction evident in 1970. The narrow-mindedness was him rather than he to serve the law, and sees nothing wrong community reacted to the reactions of students. If when one woman called this paper late Wednesday viewing the day’s events on television. She in labeling men murderers before a jury has even begun the police had never arrived on campus, there would after deliberately provoking have been peace. The students weren’t looking to accused the demonstrators of deliberations, what kind of behavior can we expect from take over the University, they couldn’t have cared the police, and refused to see the point of the believed The Spectrum less about it. I’m sure. All they wanted was change, demonstration. In fact, she police, prison guards and state officials? demonstration, and had encouraged The decision four years ago to retake D yard without regard for human life, the sudden willingness of newly-parolled prosecution witnesses to change versions of their testimony, and Judge Gilbert King's refusal to connect the death of William Quinn with the bloody context in which it occured are all reflections of the mentality which Norman Stiller displayed outside the County Courthouse Wednesday morning. If the demonstrations of the last two days do not have any effect on the fates of the two defendants, at least they enabled many people to personally experience, in the behavior of the police and in the person of Norman Stiller, the lies, double standards and deliberate attempts to disjoint related events which keep the American style of justice afloat.

In the past, administrators enacted change in the best interests of this University, but their concepts were a bit warped. To them, students were not part of the University, to them, students were just temporary entities that weren't involved in the school’s long-range goals. It was all “get ’em in, get ’em out, as long as they don’t ask why, we’re fine.” When the student eventually asked “Why?”, the jig appeared to be up. But it came at a price. In an interview last summer with a controversial administrator, who no longer holds his post, I asked of the recent move by students, not taken too seriously by anyone, to impeach him. “Well,” he behind the the students to riot. “Madam,” I concluded, “you are a goddamn Nazi.” I’m not particularly proud of that statement, doube it did much to improve I and University-community relations.

I am suspicious of The Spectrum’s long-term policy which lacked commitment and support for the struggles of oppressed peoples. Only now, when two important verdicts are imminent and campus support is at last coming together, does The Spectrum come out for the dropping of all indicted brothers’ charges and engaging in a strike, presumably just realizing that there exists one common enemy.

A very real oppression occurs when a Navy jet drops a bomb on a village in Southeast Asia, destroying families and laying to waste an environment, rendered obscenely dead for at least decades.

Ken Russell has managed to bring Peter Townshend's motley crew to life with all the vitality. performance. And why not? They must be playing out their fondest fantasies. Tina Turner, as the lusty acid queen, gets to do her ultimate animal routine. Elton John, finally tall, playing a pinball machine via a keyboard at the end of it, bemoans the inevitable end of his reign as pop star supreme. Keith Moon, the Who lunatic-in-residence, plays the outrageously perverted Uncle Ernie with satanic inspiration. Eric Clapton, ex-junkie turned clean liver, plays the preacher/sage (even though the idol representing his salvation, a statue of Marilyn from the Seven Year Itch, the new heir is sent crashing to the ground by Tommy — to the throne?). inventiveness and lunacy that went into the original, and with the added stimuli of the silver screen and "Quintophonic Sound," has created a sensorial assault that won't soon be forgotten. From the very first strains of the overture, as Captain Walker appears, sun in hand, we thank God that Russell has had the sense to leave reality behind and enter the world of caricature, parody, surrealism and fantasy. By using symbols so recognizable that they mean anything and everything, a world view emerges general enough to encompass eternal truths, as well as specific social and cultural statements. History in the making But lest we forget, this movie is more than a movie: it's an historic event. Perhaps it could have only happened with a work as fabulous as Townshend's brain child was to begin with, but Tommy is a rock film/opera in every sense of the word. As opposed to Jesus Christ, Superstar, for example, which used the same tired old Hollywood structure and imagery (King of Kings with different music), here, Russell's images are as bold, fresh and exciting as Townshend's updated score. The result? Possibly the beginning of a new art form. To start with, by featuring rock superstars (sort of living Tommies) in many of the roles. Tommy treats us to a unique sociocultural-musical statement. Russell allows the stars' public personalities to become part of the characters they portray. The resultant impact is manifold. He can simultaneously maintain the character in thematic terms, make a comment about the effects of and course of rock music and the mass media, and also say something about the particular star. Layla Monroe? At the same time, the roles, which are inherently "rock" in nature, have been cast so close to home that each star adds an unmistakable gusto to his or her Rock 'n roll casserole Not to be those players with more dramatic backgrounds make up for their lack of musical ability with a zeal and flair that must come partly from Russell's direction, partly from the fact that they've never done anything like this before, and partly, I suspect, because their parts also reflect their own secret fantasies. Oliver Reed and Jack Nicholson can't really sing, but they represent sleaze and class (respectively) so well that it doesn't matter. Although one would think Ann Margaret's Las Vegas style totally out of place in a production like this, the character of the Mother is so Hollywood-Las Vegasy that she fits in perfectly. (Wasn't it wonderful to see the archetypical sex kitten covered in beans and chocolate pudding?) And of course, there's Roger Daltrey, lead singer of the Who. Russell's direction, Daltrey's own knowledge of the glories and pitfalls of being a superstar sex symbol, his familiarity with the material, and his flair for the dramatic (which any really good vocalist needs in order to "sell a song"), combine to make his portrayal of Tommy the pinnacle of his career. Not only was his acting suprisingly high quality, but I have never heard him sing so well; powerful, charged with emotion, sometimes his voice hit notes so high and full at the same time that it sent shock waves through me. Pinball Messiah Tommy was the kind of record, and is the kind of movie, that leaves itself wide open to many interpretations. The story of yet another messiah, circa 1970's. Crucifixes and halos, rivers and the sun, the earth and the sky; these familiar signposts cross Tommy' s landscape over and over. After awhile, who cares? The theme is old; it's the presentation that's new. As McLuhan says, "the media is the message." For example: during the song, "Amazing Journey," ("'sickness will surely take the mind/ Where minds don't usually go/ Come on the amazing journey/ And team all you should know"), which is an excursion into Tommy's mind, the camera closes in on Tommy's eye. In quick succession, we see little Tommy flying with his father. Captain Walker, in his fighter plane; cut to animated star speckled almost 3-D deep space; the music shoots war crosses onto the deep blue; the camera zooms in on a central cross. Captain Walker appears on it, holding the mystical white ball which immediately opens up crosswise to fill up the screen and reveal a smiling Tommy in each half; cut to animated and camouflaged fighter planes flying across the screen, being shot down in bursts of flames; the camera pulls back to show us Tommy being held by his stepfather in front of a shooting gallery. As all this is going on, the music is building and moving along with the sights. The actual experience is so stunning in and of itself that it's significance becomes irrelevant. (Besides, we all know what it means, anyway.) Future shock Interpretation aside, one of the most interesting things about Tommy is its cumulative effect. Only when the film is over do you realize that you've been taken on an exhausting 25-year joyride. Although the road is exaggerated, distorted, sometimes absurd and always larger than life, one can still recognize the turnoffs. Townshend has done a major reworking of the arrangements of the songs, so that the music (as well as the costumes and settings) slowly evolves from the blah superficiality of the fifties to the flowery innocence of the early sixties, to the explosive glitter of the late sixties and early seventies and then to the violent, apocalyptic end of things. (Of course, history doesn't end here and neither does the movie.) Beside the obvious addition of bringing the characters to visual life, I think it is in this sense, as a spaced-out —continued on page 13— �A Gato Barbieri concert means one thing: excitement.

Clough: one man show ofprints and paintings by Bob Dagni Spectrum Arts Critic Charlie Clough's one man show in Gallery 219, photographic Fantasizing/Reality, Realizing/Fantasy. consists of both fun; through work is The photo (R/F). work (F/R) and painting he has taken photographs of from a series clipping and gluing segments creating a disjunctive in a particular spot, he develops a photo montage, shaping directional of the terms of a re-orientation to the spot in image. of the expansion/contraction set of By meticulously matching lines and shapes with each strong that has narrative pictures he creates an illusionistic continuum power. However, Clough doesn't deal with the inevitable shape, the product of his process, as seen from further than 12 inches. As one draws back, the effective illusion fades and the pieces' internal rhythm is no longer in evidence. His painting is much more successful. Done on paper with spray paint, they rapidly articulate zones of existence in forceful event of two-dimensional delineation. Marine horizons with potential for unlimited expansion free surging emotional charges to rest, and the spectator to calm. No names My favorite (all works are untitled) was wrapped around the gallery's one workable wall and onto its two adjoining walls. Swelling coils of baby blue, rust and royal gray fluctuate in vertical strands that interlock with each other to form a directional flow along the horizontal axis. Neither the vertical coils nor the horizontality of the pattern flow work toward visual supremacy; each exhibits its event in acknowledgement of the other; each gives, each receives. The edges are cut to echo the shape of each "spray splash" that the coils consist of. The resultant waviness, predominantly rust, looks not unlike a continuously looping parade of mutilated fingers grasping anxiously for a wall whose conventional, white, rectilinear stability shuns them. This tension between edge and plane creates a boiling effect that, in a smaller work on display, presses eagerly against the exhibit field and, in the larger works, fragments the field. Direction This type edge allows the directionality of the works a greater impetus, as edge (wave) echoes part (coil) magnification of edge results in the role expansion of part, the prime mover of directional flow. The hypnotic effect created by other part/edge works (Poons, Stella) is disrupted in favor of lyric calm. This is due to the edge evolving as a logical extension of the part, rather than the part co-defining, through parallel functioning, the edge. Simply put: content determines context rather than context determining content. Also, this calm is bolstered through the asymmetrical balance rising from the gestural quality of the "spray slashes," especially because of the greater coloristic intensity that occurs towards the center of each slash fading to mist at their edges and the occasional drips from excess paint. Both instances lend a "handmade" quality to the work. The freehand weave of tricolor presence occasions overlapping junctions where one color predominates. - In tandem Viewed as a series, these junctions adopt focal importance as movers of directionality, points that lend themselves to landmarks as one's retina posts minutes stepping stones, whirling from part to part NAVY MEDICINE IS CHALLENGING AND IT PAYS STUDENTS Full scholarships and stipends for students enrolled in or accepted to medical school. 15 April 1975.

Clough is concerned with surface. As one approaches more really the process of arranging forms and colors upon a two-dimensional field, flat and one must approach more honestly the reality of surface uncompromising, lending itself at great sacrifice of integrity to the illusion of depth. Working between the visual field and the viewer has become Clough's major concern. He calls Morris Louis his "Daddy" and one can see why. Louis attempted to establish, as Fried put it, an impression based solely on the "opticality" of the coloration; an illusion that would take place "within one's eyes." The essential flatness of Clough's paintings speak directly to this, while the "all over" effort achieved by the — blending of coils reminds one of a systematized Pollack. Suggestions Structurally, Charlie Clough has a lot going for him. What one would like to see, however, is a more consistently fluid handling of his material and a more distinctive sense of coloration. Perhaps, also, a greater self-consciousness of how the interaction of colors is working within his structure. I would like to see his works size increase dramatically, vertically as well as horizontally, allowing the viewers physicality to be more actually involved in the painting's presence, and thus swept into the directionality of the flow to establish a more intimate sense of communion with it. Clough is moving quickly towards his very personal resolutions of some major formal problems involving painters today. His work is a refreshing change from the ever-repeating 60's hard-edge or the slick rehash of 50's expressionism that is currently faddy. As Buckminster Fuller put it, you don't solve a problem expecting to put an end to your problems. You solve a problem to get more interesting problems to solve. Most notably in his use of part to determine edge, Charlie Clough is posing some interesting problems. Prodigal Sun �The swashbucklers travel well on French wine by Bill Maraschiello Spectrum Arts Staff The scene is a ruined bastion which warring French and English soldiers have shot all to hell. Four rambunctious French Musketeers are eating breakfast there on a bet that they will not also get shot up. Porthos (Frank Finlay) is about to have a r\ice sip of wine when the glass is blown out of his hand. He regards this occurrence bemusedly; then, in the tone of an indignanj connoisseur, he remarks "This wine does not travel well." Richard Lester's The Four Musketeers is an intelligent, honestly entertaining movie, and a welcome alternative to the recent division of cinema into Films of Great Significance and anthrpoidal swill. A number of films of modern vintage either ride off in all directions in search of profundity, or pander leeringly to mass-market impulses with results that would insult the intelligence of a baboon. (Some try the "ambitious failures" both, and usually combine the worst aspects of each.) the best of intentions when handled properly. That may not be a strikingly original insight, but it's one that hasn't been implemented much these days, whether out of choice or ignorance. In fact, Lester's whole approach to his Musketeers films is bristling with seemingly obvious artistic assumptions that turn out to be startlingly sensible on a moment's thought. For example; decorum is seldom strictly observed when one is out to slice an enemy into noodles; also, the mere hblding of a sword doesn't turn you into Errol Fairbanks. Hence, the brawling swordplay that's a major element in Musketeers. In spite of this, however, deaths occur so infrequently in the fights that we react to them as though we really were seeing someone get run through with a sword. This isn't the anesthetive bloodletting of modern vogue. - — Uncommon sense Wisely, Lester general eschews both extremes, realizing that a dash of sincerity and consistency is worth more than One, two, three Quixotic One of the basic factors in comedy is incongruity: something doesn't fit. In this case, it's often the setting that throws things humorously out of order: romantic intrigues in a steambath, or Louis XIV (Jean-Pierre Cassel) planning battle strategy while posing for a "battle portrait" astride a hobbyhorse. Lester is fully conscious of both the absurdities of the traditional swashbuckler, and the very real excitement that he can generate. But he tempers it with jaunty, fashionable cynicism that never becomes brutal. The result is the most affectionate kind of parody. The cast seems to be having the time of their lives, be anything but an immeasurable help in these circumstances. Frank Finlay's delightful ham-on-wry Porthos is a small gem. A platoon of brilliant character actors provide a hilarious sense of working-class sensibility, with Milady DeWinter's litter-bearers muttering "She's put on weight" and D'Artagnan's servant struggling manfully to carry a dozen muskets and a four-foot-long loaf of bread. Even Charlton Heston, Hollywood's Zarathustra, shows us by his work as Cardinal Richelieu that slyness and subtlety are well within his range. Femme fatale As Milady DeWinter, Faye Dunaway is bad in a fascinating way. I'm reminded of the critic who said that Mae West's problem was that she yearned to play Catherine the Great At lest Ms. West, failing her more grandiose ambitions, could fall back on playing Mae West Ms. Dunaway has similar ambitions and no supporting persona. Like a well-constructed actress robot would, she registers the proper inflections and nuances of speech and gesture, but fails to imbue them with any appreciable animation. DeWinter is a crucial role, one that is meant to be played with allure and villainy. Dunaway has neither, and her performance is probably the film's major fault. You must know by now that both The Three Musketeers and The Four Musketeers were originally intended as one film, but cut into two. Three-hours-plus of Lester's bucklesquashing could definitely pall on the viewer after a spell; then again. Four Musketeers loses some of its freshness if you've seen Three Musketeers, since you know what Lester's approach is. On the whole, though, I agree with his decision. Both Musketeers films succeeded in providing an old-fashioned good time at the flicks, where cheers, boos, and the crunch of popcorn are completely at home; why limit it to one time out? Enjoy, enjoy. ... Dance theatre forming here Buffalo's need for a repertory touring dance theatre will be fulfilled in the near future, thanks to the years. The development of a major school of dance is his second immediate goal. The school's efforts of Synyer Hanesworth, classes, workshops, lectures and artistic director, dancer and performances will deal primarily choreographer for the group, in the area of modern, African, "Tashama Outer Circle Dance ballet and experimental dance techniques, as will the touring Theatre."

Obstacles There are still a few obstacles the company and school will have to overcome before they can feel completely secure in their future. First, they need a permanent home, since their present quarters are only temporary. Second, common to all groups in the area of fine arts, they need money. Presently in the midst of tax-free, not-for-profit incorporation, the Tashama Dance Theatre will be sub mining appli cations in October to agencies such as the Ford Foundation and the New York State Council of the Arts. A major determinant in the acquisition of funds from such agencies is strong evidence of community support. Although such support has been steadily developing over the last ten years, only recently has someone come along to help realize Buffalo's goal of becoming a respectable, legitimate contributor d the‘world of dance. "One of our aesthetx goals is —Santos to try dance Synyer Hanesworth to consolidate various groups in the city," explained Mr. Hanesworth, stressing need to "break down the barriers" existing between them. He believes it is important for dancers to be exposed to as many different styles and techniques as possible and advised students to attend many dance schools to gain maximum exposure. He also feels aspiring dancers interested in attending Tashama should be willing to experiment with dances of different cultures, particularly African. "Dance, after a certain point, loses its cultural factors and becomes universal,” Mr. Hanesworth observed. The Tashama Outer Circle Dance Theatre's future already has made impressive plans for the future, including the possibility of a "master dance symposium" for the area. At various times in his career, Mr. Hanesworth has worked with Pearl Primus, Makebe Mirobi, Philip Stemps and Oliver Jones. He hopes some of these prominent names in the field of dance will visit his group. —Jonathan Rider Friday, 4 April 1975 The Spectrum Page nine . . �RECORDS PRESCRIPTION (Foi*>ign Car Rilmenta) DR.

You'd be better off listening to Tony Williams sing than even listening to he's in on it too, shy but still Stanley Clarke play - r. .jSS ■ Stan Getz, Captain Marvel (Columbia) Patty Hearst said Tony Williams was kidnapped a few years ago, after he had been the best drummer in the world. But he was too young then and didn t go to college and bad no right, but was kidnapped after he might have been getting worse because he kept singing even though he couldn't sing hardly. So they took him away and it was too bad because everyone was expecting him to do something and now *they sterilized his brain and he can't do anything anymore and so, everyone likes Billy Cobham. Like if Jack Bruce had been in the Mahavishnu Orchestra it would have been, pretty good at the time, but now he might be working out with Mick Taylor and Carla Bley so he's square. But Tony Williams was kidnapped by Stan Getz and sent to Canada. That was a few years ago, before anybody ever heard of Patty Hearst (my sister). Tony Williams was so good it was funny, all of a sudden, he's in Toronto with Stan Getz, and his manager was in on it and used to hold a gun under his cocktail at the clubs so Tony had to play and couldn't escape. But it was his fault for trying to sing so much. This album is really bad, believe me. Patty Hearst bought this album and that's when she was kidnapped. She was getting into Tony Williams with the headphones on, and didn't hear the knock on the door. All of a sudden he was in Toronto with Stan Getz and everybody in the street said; "What's he doing with Stan Getz?" Nobody knew, so they made an album and boy, is it terrible. It sounds like it was recorded in Montreal on a bus. Sometimes a few songs smell like the exhaust but if you like Stan Getz then you might not mind. But still, you probably can't eat when you listen to it and you have to fumigate your needle twice a month until the police find the album and return it to Tony Williams, whor wants to ruin them all so he can put out a new one with singong on it since Stan wouldn't let him say a word, not a word mind you. So it makes the album really boring and smelly. U—' wants to dee Dony Widdians out of the day last week he said: "I think he should be amputated."

Unless you like the album, which is hard to do, because it really smells and ft will ruin your needle and it will make you want to sing and them too will get you before the end of the first side and you'll be glad, which is how indoctrination works when you like something color lit. ten The Spectrum . . Friday, 4 April 1975 Prodigal Sun �RECORDS Vassar Clements (Mercury) Part of me is happy to see Vassar Clements edging his way up from the anonymity of Sideman's Canyon. I think back to Will The Circle Be Unbroken � the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's monumental opus with Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, Mother Maybelle Carter et al Ben Hur at the Grand Ole Opry, you might say. Vassar fiddled on practically every one of the 25-odd cuts, and he was astounding. From straight country to Appalachian to high-octane bluegrass, he slid through smooth as buttermilk, showing amazing imagination and freshness of conception. On top of that, the man knows how to listen to the music happening around him. And however slick or flashy he gets very much so, at it's still very clear that he's not showing off. times In one sense, Vassar Clements is a sideman's holiday. There are no "stars" on the album (except possibly for an unobtrusive John Hartford), and no vocals save two tines of "Good Woman's Love." Vassar's versatility makes for a minimum of stylistic shackles; alliterative as hell, but it's the truth. Commencing with the straight blues of "In the Pines," we go through sturdy stompers tike "Peking Fling" and "Kissimme Kid;" "Sweet and Sassy" and "Lonesome Fiddle Blues," which would be right at home on WSM; and, my God, "Nitwit Train" Besides Hartford, the crew consists of Jeff Hanna and John McEuen of the Dirt Band, the uneasily riding Charlie Daniels, a gent named Grant Boatwright whom I know I've heard of before but can't place, and a small horde of no-names who positively reek of long-paid dues. There are no instrumental credits given for individual songs, which is both irritating in itself and gives the whole record a featureless - - - quality. On the other hand, this would be a natural for one-upmanship duels between self-appointed session "experts:" "Daniels, my ass; that's gotta be a Boatwright lick!" I'm fairly sure, however, that it's Hartford who keeps throwing in the banjo breaks (especially in "Sweet and Sassy") that sparkle like a mountain stream. Structured as it is, the quality of the music rises or falls with whoever is up front at the moment. A while ago, in a review of a different record, I saw the statement "They're all good players, but nowadays, who isn't?" We're presently suffering from a surplus of musicians who are capable of providing sturdy, unexciting meat-and-potatoes licks. Much of Vassar Clements suffers from acute Studiosis, and it's a bit dull when this is the case (notably in the aptly titled "Long Way Around"). But when they clamber out of the riff rut, things really begin to cook, and the difference between competence and inspiration suddenly becomes startlingly clear. In the latter case, the musicians are doing honest-to-God playing-, the other times, they're working. But this is Vassar's album. It is his fiddle that provides the William Faulkner Dixie heat for "In the Pines," sends the Orange Blossom Special on a quick side trip through "Listen to the Mockingbird," and generally adds the appropriate dash of honey or Jack Daniels wherever it's needed. This album isn't really a clunker, it just could have been done better; Vassar Clements is worth hearing under any circumstances, at any rate. As they say in Circus, worth one listen at ’’Ifr.ry least. -Bill Maraschiello The Fifth Dimension, Soul and Inspiration (Bell) The Fifth Dimension: Marily McCoo, Florence Larue Gordon, Billy Davis Jr., Lamonte McLemore and last but not least, Ron Townsond. They’ve been around over 10 years and are famous for such easy listening tunes as "Up, Up And Away," "Stoned Soul Picnic," and their most successful and perhaps best recording, "Aquarius." Their beautiful harmonizing has always set them apart from other vocal groups. This album, their last one for Bell Records, is one of their best. There is a nice mixture of love ballads, soul tunes and five-part harmonies that the group is famous for. The album opens with "Soul and Inspiration," a remake of the old Phil Spector produced Righteous Brothers hit Marilyn and Billy sing alternate verses and give the song a more personal flavor than the original version. The instrumentation is very good with a full orchestra conducted brilliantly by the group's stage conductor, John Myles. Hal Baline is excellent, as usual, on drums, tamborine and percussion. Another highlight on this fine album is the recent million seller for the Eagles, "Best of My Love." Marilyn McCoo leads the group through the chorus while the verses are sung by the quintet in unison. The drums have a pulsating beat throughout the song that mixes well with the'fine strings arrangement of D'Arnell Pershing. The best song on the album,' and maybe the best song the Fifth Dimension have recorded since they've been, on BelL is the Florez-Cooper production of "Hard Core Poetry." The song opens with an intro of a soft piano combined with some strings. Then Marilyn begins with the first few lines followed by Florence and then Billy. It works beautifully. The change from Marilyn's precise, clear sound to Florence's somewhat more "soulful" voice to Billy's rough tenor adds a new dimension to the group's repertoire. The beautifuly second verse shows the real meaning of the song: "You can blame the world when trouble comes and knocks at your door, let your weakness cut you down to size; if you find some fault with everything surrounding you maybe it's your narrow-minded eyes," followed by the chorus: 'This is a song not necessarily sweet, I pass it on to people that I never will meet, and if my words don't make history, just call it hard core poetry." _ , The song ends with Marilyn and Florence singing as high as they can get "la, la, la, la (2X)" interspersed with a long climactic final note from the string section conducted masterfully by D'Arnell Pershing. The album, on the whole, is excellent and is about as good as The Fifth Dimension can get. The group produced most of the tracks, which marks the first time they've tried producing. The combination of ballads to up tempo soul numbers to five-part harmony type songs shows that the group is capable of doing almost any type of song well. Hopefully this album will give the Fifth the one hit they've been waiting over two years for and put them back on thecharts where they belong. For Fifth Dimension fans, this album is a must. —Steven Brieff , Prodigal Sun Xes Violins du Bat' Innocence in chaotic world by Randi Schnur but the golden era begins further and further away.

Most people require a major portion of their lives to develop a social consciousness a true sense of themselves as integral components of that particular unit and the concurrent growth of the self can be even more difficult.

The first place he ever played publicly was in a pool hall. But it wasn’t playing guitar. It was playing pool. If you don't know who he is, he's Leon Redbone, guitarist-vocalist extraordinaire, from his scat singing to his yodeling to his authentic nasally slurred vocals to the unerring accuracy of his Blind Blake-styled, ragtime-piano type of guitar playing. His every action is a painstaking deliberation. He executes a walk reminiscent of a senior citizen who's just stepped out from a body cast and wants to test his healed limbs; it's one of the most careful walks on the planet. His three-piece suits are from the Twenties. His funky old tie looks more like a typewriter ribbon.

Objective and subjective are intertwined, as are fact and symbol. None of these photographs are haphazardly taken, with no concern for composition or formal pictorial problems; they are conscious products of good design. The relationship between foreground and background is often explored through the superimposition of a close-up upon a long-distance shot of the by Janice Simon Spectrum Arts Staff There is something very spiritual about a vast stretch of uncontaminated land, where nature's rhythms flow without interruption. A sense of mystery pervades the purity of the earth and the jarring juxtapositions of soft and hard, smooth and rough that confront one at every step. This ethereal spirit seems to be lacking in the man-made world; therefore it is no surprise that, during the exploration of the American West, photographers sought to capture this timeless spirit. What they caught is revealed in Era of Exploration: The Rise of Landscape Photography in the American West, 1860—85, now on exhibit at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery until landscape. This sense of depth is heightened even further by print techniques which make the background increasingly faint while the foreground images are extremely crisp and dear the use of atmospheric perspective.

A landscape consciousness arose in the mid- 1800's due to the increasing interest in natural history and the building of the transcontinental railroad linking Omaha to San Francisco. Photographers were hired by the railroad contractors to record the construction of these tracks of progress and ingenuity; spurred by landscape painters of the time, they pointed their cameras past the tracks to focus on the untouched earth. With the start of the gold rush, landscape photography increasingly headed further westward, Nevada and California being points of focus. HI i Unhuman beauty Carleton Watkins presents his audience with the quiet perfection of nature, untouched by man, and filled with spiritual beauty. A strong sense of the divine pervades his works, as is visible in "The Yosemite Valley from the Mariposa Trail." UUAB MUSIC COMMITTEE KRtSENTb Here, one lone, thin, tall tree extends from the top to the bottom of the picture plane compositionally uniting the photography and, more importantly, creating an image of the divine. Superimposed over a landscape of mountains and valleys, it is as if God were proudly looking over his creation. The viewer seems to be witnessing some mystical event in "Profile Rock, Echo Canyon," which places an immense craggy rock against a turbulent sky; a dialogue between contrasting natural forces reaches spiritual heights. In contrast to the quiet mysticism of Watkins is the picturesque Romanticism of Muybridge, who often juxtaposes man and his creations with the vastness of nature. "Shipping in Sitka Harbour, Alaska" reflects this, with its ships dwarfed by the immense stretch of water and sky. A similar juxtaposition reaches the point of tension-filled drama in the photographs of Jackson. In "Canyon of Rio las Animas," the low viewpoint forcing us to look up the side of the jagged rock creates an intense anticipation in the viewer as he notices the train struggling to make its way through the diff. The stark images of O'Sullivan deal with the mysterious forces of nature and the powerlessness of man in comparison to them. One photografJh captures an isolated horse and buggy amidst the soft sand dunes in Nevada, while another presents a pueblo overshadowed by the huge, powerful slab of rock from which it emerges. The force and weight of the stone is enhanced by the composition, which focuses in on the side of the rock; there is no sky for breathing room. Though large, this photography exhibit is very deserving of the public's attention. For not only is it excellently put together, but the images these photographers of the West have caught are a feast for the eyes and soul.

The program, to be conducted nationwide, was described by Patricia Howell, an RCC administrator and “unofficial coordinator” of Food Week here, as an attempt at “consciousness-raising about food and nutrition.” The program will dover international agriculture, nutrition and health, and alternate diets. The world food production crisis, international famine relief aid, misconceptions about the mutritional value of foods, and the monopoly within the food industry will be discussed. Waste and inefficiency in the average diet will also be examined. The most effective program here may be the “Fast Day” proposed for April 17. Reed Kellner, an RCC representative coordinating the event, said petitions have been circulated among students on board contracts, requesting them to relinquish all meals on that day. It was hoped that Food Service would donate the money saved to the American Freedom from Hunger Foundation. According to Mr. Kellner, 800 out of approximately 1500 students on food service signed the petitions. No permission However, Edward Doty, Vice-president for finance and management, stated he would not give Pood Service permission to donate money to any organization. * M Mr. Doty refused because, as he said, “some causes are good, some are more worthy than others, and some are bad and it is not the duty of the administration to decide which to support and which not to.” Don Hosie, Director of Food Service, added: “Food Service is not in the business of allowing students to be encouraged to miss meals. They need their nutrition.” He then referred to a memorandum Mr. Doty had sent his predecessor which stated: “Fasts for the support of social, religious or political movements are not to be allowed.” r "• GOOD FOOD RESTAURANT Hong Kong Chicken with vegetable.

New York's drug laws: harsh and ineffective Editor‘s note: The following is the first of a explaining the New York State drug laws. two part series by Mitchell E. Katz Staff Writer Spectrum Officials within the criminal justice system generally agree that the state’s narcotics laws are in need of change. Prosecutors and defense attorneys believe present statues are too inflexible. Their success in deterring drug trafficking has also been seriously questioned. It is now a year and a half since former Governor Nelson Rockefeller signed into law his stringent program of narcotics legislation. His program called for mandatory life sentences for all convicted hard narcotics pushers and addicts who commit violent crimes. There were no provisions for plea bargaining and no possibility of parole. Foreseeing an influx of drug cases due to the ban on plea bargaining, Mr. Rockefeller eventually proposed the creation of additional narcotics courts to be manned by 100 newly-appointed judges who would work solely on the drug cases. Heavy blow Mr. Rockefeller was presumably seeking to deliver a heavy blow to addicts, pushers and the “soft-headed judges” who let many convicts slip through the criminal justice system unpunished or lightly punished. The major criticism of his original proposals was that they failed to distinguish between major and minor traffickers. Someone convicted of street selling an ounce of a hard drug could receive the same mandatory life Page sixteen The Spectrum Friday, 4 April 1975 . . sentence as the narcotics racketeer who sells pounds of the it.

Though the figures from the survey have been printed, they are still unofficial. Because of the complicated nature of the figures, the SA Executive Committee is hoping to present the results along with an interpretation at Tuesday’s student assembly meeting. the results can be taken as fairly representative of the student body. Over 2100 of the nearly 13,000 undergraduates responded to the questionnaire. Asked to rank the six major areas in which Student Activities Fees are allocated, the students chose athletics a close fourth behind service organizations (CAC, NYPIRG, etc.), but well behind student services (The Spectrum, Birth Control Clinic, Record Co-op, etc.) and activities (movies, concerts, speakers, etc.). As expected, within athletics, the major spectator sports, basketball and hockey were ranked relatively high while fencing and golf were not considered very important. A major surprise was the relatively low ranking of baseball and wrestling, two of Buffalo’s five major sports and the high ranking of sports, swimming and tennis, both “minor” sports. Men’s intercollegiate athletics were ranked well below intramurals and recreation and nearly half of the students polled felt intramurals were very important.

Not so, says baseball coach Bill Monkarsh. “The southern trip doesn’t mean anything to the selection committee,” he remarked as his team prepared to open their 30-game northern schedule today at Seton Hall. “If we beat the New York teams, and can win at least 24 or 25 games up north, we can make the playoffs,” continued the optimistic Monkarsh. The key games are the ones with Seton Hall. The Pirates return everyone from last year’s District II champions, and are heavily favored to repeat in this year’s Eastern regional (combined Districts I and 11). The Bulls have encountered their usual weather problems in preparing for their remaining games. Since their return from Florida, the baseballers have been restricted to practicing on wood (Clark Hall) or asphalt (bubble) surfaces. “If you can’t get outside, it hurts,” remarked Monkarsh. Errors “Our fieldin'', wasn’t that bad down south,” he continued. One can only wonder what constitutes bad fielding, as the Bulls committed 33 errors to their opponents 9 in the 12 games. The bulk of the FIRST MEETING WILL BE APRIL 8th, FIRST CLASS STARTS APRIL 10th. ***************************** weather in Ithaca isn't any better than Buffalo. Baseball Contributing Editor Funding More than half the students polled felt there should be a change in the way athletics are funded. More than 20 percent said they favored a separate, voluntary athletic fee. One third favored using a fixed percent of the Student Activity fee fund for athletics, and the remainder said the present system was satisfactory. Apparently, football is not a dead issue on campus. Nearly half those questioned favored bringing back football at the club level. Twenty percent either didn’t reply or had no opinion. only get to pitch if there is a game. It seems the miscues came from the infield, mostly from the right side, where senior Jim Zadora (at third base after three years in the outfield) and sophomores Jack Kaminska and Duke Marzo combined for nearly half of the errors. Pitching, which was expected to be the bright spot for the Bulls, was, on the whole, poor. It was disappointment down south,” “the biggest commented Monkarsh. “The only bright spot was John Buszka.” Buszka was also the only winning pitcher on the Florida trip, and has been tabbed to start against Seton Hall this afternoon. No stopper The remainder of the Bulls pitching rotation is a toss-up, with Jim Niewczyk and Mike Dean likely to see action this weekend. “Niewczyk had a bad start, but then so did the rest of the pitchers,” said Monkarsh. “This was the first time down South that we’ve had a chance to win some games, but we lost a lot in the late innings because we didn’t have a stopper.” Unlike previous years, when Buffalo victories came on tight fielding and strong pitching, the Bulls will have to win the majority of their games by outslugging their opponents. Hitting, supposedly the weakest aspect of this year’s team, has come on strong. Particularly impressive was the slugging of designated hitter John Mineo, who hit .364 and knocked in nine runs while scoring ten himself. *********************************************** * LAST DAY TO VOTE FOR YOUR IRC OFFICERS.

A WBUF-93 Ml A RSTIVA1 ** ***** BALC $6 A $5 PtCSBfTATlON It would take a cross between Sigmund Freud and Dick Young to explain in full why nearly every young American male falls in love with baseball. My cousin is the only one I know who didn’t love baseball as a kid. Just between you and me, my cousin is a little weird. This is not to say that every kid who doesn’t like baseball is weird, but it helps. Some of the contributing factors are obvious. Baseball has been associated with Mom, apple pie and everything purely American. Most kids are raised on this kind of patriotism and baseball is part of it. and hockey. Baseball doesn’t have that problem. No other sport has baseball’s tradition. Four or five generations of children have been raised on the game by now. Every father must consider it his duty to teach his son how to hit and throw, somewhere between toilet training and the facts of life. The game has the flexibility to adapt to physical conditions as well as the mood of the players. There must be a dozen variations on the theme (games like kickball, softball, punchbaU, stoopball, curb ball, automatics and catch-a-fly-is-up) that substitute for the real thing when one or more elements is missing. Kids who want to play baseball always find a way. When I was young, we used to play on one of two fields. In one you could only hit to right field because a fence went through the left side. On the other field, it was a home run if you hit the ball past the “No Ball Playing” sign. People used to walk their dogs on that field. We didn’t care. Many have said the game is too slow. There is some truth to that. But far from being a detraction it is a virtue. Only baseball can produce excitement without an artificial clock related frenzy. The beauty of the game is that it stops long enough for the player and observer to truly appreciate and agonize over what is happening. An easy pace also allows the game to be played or watched, passively is you desire. All this doesn’t explain why the game grips the hearts of little boys and, in some cases never lets go. And I can’t explain that. All I know is that a new season starts next week and I can’t help but being a little emotional about that. Maybe I’m just a sentimental sap. I’ve got a fan’s excitement about two new superstars. Catfish Hunter and Bobby Bonds, who will play for my Yankees this year. I’ve got a social interest in the reaction to Cleveland’s black manager Timing is in baseball’s favor. Summer affords Frank Robinson. But more than that. I’ve got an the opportunity to play without distraction. School, eight year old in me somewhere screaming, “Let me that universal pain in the neck until one gets to out! Let me play! Where are the bats and balls.” college when the pain moves down, keeps getting in Sometimes I’d just love to let him out. the way of winter pursuits like football, basketball Hero worship, something that every kid needs, is also a big part of it. Baseball, more than any other medium, has perfected the promotion of clean cut someone kids can good old American heroes emulate with a bat or a pitcher’s glove and a ball. Other sports can do this but somehow it’s not the same. 1 can’t explain why it’s not the same. It’s just not. And if you grew up on baseball as I did you know that I’m right. - FRIDAY.

But Judge Stiller was not to be put off. “This is the last thing I’m gonna say to you,” he said, “If I have one more word from you. I’m gonna clear the whole area.” Judge Stiller then walked back up to courtroom number seven, which overlooked the demonstration on Franklin Street outside.

'After brief discussions, most of them walked to the nearby YWCA to await the noontime appearance of the defendants and their attorneys.

EXTRA v Campus tjJnor Attica defendant Dacajewiah thanked more that 200 enthusiastic supporters in Norton Hall’s Fillmore Room last night, but warned them not to provoke needless confrontations with police while demonstrating outside the courthouse today and (John Hill) tomorrow. He said the 500 demonstrators the courthouse yesterday suffered from a lack of leadership and organization,, and although the demonstration “was a beautiful thing to see, you cannot come down without any form of leadership and direction.” Dacajewiah was “really glad to see outside people [the courthouse) taking.a ftand,” but said the demonstrators were “just moving around” vainly attempting to listen to several people yelling different which instructions, resulted in disorganization and unnecessary friction with police. “It’s useless to have people beaten over the head [by police) because of a few people’s politics,” Dacajewiah asserted. at ‘Self-preservation’ By allowing a few people to “take things in their own hands,” the demonstrators became the “animals” that the police “expect us to be,” he said. But “we are human beings, not animals. The animals are hiding the blue shields,” he declared. Dacajewiah tried to make it clear that he was not advocating violence. But he quickly added that a law of “self-presepvation” existed that might have to be used in some circumstances, although to provoke bloodshed “is another Attica” and another ten years until the truth would be heard. To create an explosive situation is to give the police, the “man,” an excuse to start blowing heads off, he explained. Dacajewiah suggested that the police, like the demonstrators, are scared, although for different reasons. The police feel that threats to their authority are attacks on their manhood, he said, a fear which projects itself in the use of weapons, or “little pieces of steel.” “This is not a game. It’s a very touchy, dangerous situation,” he stressed. - ‘Their law’ Dacajewiah indicated that the police are unconcerned with “rights,” and described the law as generally “their law. We must get enough people to recognize what’s going on,” he said. Throughout his talk, which looked like a “scolding” to many of' his supporters, Dacajewiah repeatedly expressed appreciation for their concern. He said he “would feel very bad” if people were hurt in a disturbance outside the courthouse while he was inside. “I am not going to ask you to support me if I’m not with you,” he assured everyone. The situation yesterday could have erupted into violence, Dacajewiah indicated. “I don’t want to see people get hurt uselessly,” because “you can bail people out but not bring back lives.” The defendant said the massacre at Attica gave him a greater appreciation of life, and while he was “not putting down confrontation,” he does not want to see people getting hurt. Racist summation However, Dacajewiah told his Fillmore Room audience, which had swelled to almost 300, to “do what you feel,” whether or not the police agree. However, it must be done effectively under cohesive leadership, he said. But Dacajewiah reminded his supporters that “the Erie County Sheriffs are the same ones who went into Attica with the State Troopers.” He also lashed out at the news media, explaining that the media thrives on the sensationalism of the trial. News reporting distorts the facts, claimed, he because journalists “hear what they want to hear.” Dacajewiah termed the “sick” news media and hypocritical. “They’ll walk with you when you’re acquitted,” but are really in concert with the police, he said. the trial Describing summations, Dacajewiah said Defense William Attorney Kunstler had the jury “in tears” during his concluding remarks. However, he continued, the prosecution then concluded its own case, using the “most racist” arguments to “make us look like sick creatures to destroy us.” ...

Rivers simply did not see everything that Mr. Zimmer saw.” He also criticized Defense Attorney Ramsey Clark for leaving out the initial reaction of prosecution witness Tom Collins, who testified that Mr. Pernasilice had told him “I made sure a hack was dead.” With “apologies to the ladies,” Mr. A’Dala explained that Mr. sociologists” conducting Collins’ first reaction to the of investigations potential statement was, “Holy shit.” witnesses.

He criticized Mr. Kunstler for leaving out the “foundations of the argument, misleading” the jury and “taking away from the truth.” Raising his voice, he angrily discussed the tedious jury selection, where the defense “was packed with psychologists and Commentary Listening to words that hurt by Amy Dunkin Managing Editor Our ears are so often bombarded with political rhetoric and catchy slogans that we have stopped listening altogether. And because we have stopped listening, we have stopped hearing. Yet during the past few weeks, as the trial of Attica defendants Dacajewiah and Charlie Joe Pernasalice has approached its climax, the ears of students at the University have perked up. Rather than dismissing phrases like seriously. “Attica is all of us” and “Attica Mr. A’Dala discussed the means fight back” as emply “war testimony of correction officer cries,” some students began to Alton Tolbert who had admitted feel for the first time the true lying about his identification of significance of those words deep Dacajewiah to advance himself. down in their gut.

When studetns are not for explaining why Dacajewiah outraged, there is little hope for and Charlie Joe were charged with murder. Calling it “unforgivable” and .detracting from the honor of the Indian Cause, Mr. A’Dala asserted the defense used them because they had nothing else to work with. “On the behalf of the people of the state of New York, I ask you to find Charlie Joe Pernsalice guilty of attempted murder and John Hill guilty of the murder of William Quinn,” Mr. A’Dala concluded. Judge King will charge the jury this morning and the jury will its immediately begin deliberations. Doubts Correction Officer Donald Melvin had said he had “slight doubts” about his identification of Dacajewiah. Mr. A’Dala dismissed the doubts as minimal. Mr. A’Dala’s summation was interrupted many times by defense objections that he was incorrectly discussing facts in the record. The few times that the record was checked, the defense was found to be correct, Mr. Kunstler said. But Judge King reprimanded him for continually objecting, explaining that it was up to the jurors to decide the of A’Dala’s Mr. validity summation. Mr. A’Dala then defended the inaccurate testimony of former inmate Edward Zimmer who said he had seen Mr. Pernsalice hit Mr. Quinn once on the back. Medical testimony revealed that Mr. Quinn had no back wounds. r At one time in his testimony, Mr. Zimmer said the guard was struck by a “blow that travelled over the shoulders.” Mr. A’Dala argued that this meant the same thing as being hit over the head. He insisted that prosecution witnesses who had withheld information after the 1971 uprising had come forward after “soul searching.” Bobsey twins Explaining why prosecution witnesses Edward Zimmer and Melvin Rivers, who the defense had referred to as “the Bobsey Twins,” had not given the same story, the prosecutor said “Mr. change. For once they leave the University more progressive environment, they, like their parents, become too locked into the system to lash out against it. Among the groups that should be commended for their active role in supporting the Attica cause is the Student Association. In the past, SA has been reluctant to take a radical stance on any political issues, inside or outside the University. SA proved this week that if its leadership is willing to stand firm on an issue, a sizeable number of students are sure to follow suit. For whatever reason, having the name of Student Association behind a resolution to dismiss all the Attica charges against defendants and support a rally has put more muscle behind it. Strong student leadership has worked in the past, as we all know, and it is necessary if students are to be united in the future. Of course, SA only rounded out an effort that was begun last year by the University’s Attica Support Group. This group has worked long and hard to bring Attica close to the minds of all students while stumbling against another. one wall after Recognition of their efforts by the student body represents, at the very least, a vote of confidence for all that Attica stands for fighting to system restructure a which compels men to behave violently, and then punishes them for doing so. — But despite all the "consciousnesses” that have been raised recently, the fact remains that not enough people are convinced “Attica is all of us.” They simply cannot place Attica in a broader perspective, one that includes poverty, prejudice and oppression in its scope. One reason some people were not present at the demonstration was that they view Attica as the “cause of the week,” an issue that attracted students because it is the “popular” thing to support. As a result, they fear if an acquittal is handed down within the next week, many of the newly-born “activists” will quickly lose interest and return to their own secure niches. If this is in fact the case, perhaps many students failed to. understand what the name, Attica, represents. Even so, the fact that they showed up at a time of need is some indication that their consciences can be tapped, that they care when human beings are denied their basic rights. Let us hope, though, that the message of Attica is carried on long after the fates of Dacajewiah and Charlie Joe are sealed. If people haven’t taken the time to familiarize themselves with the facts, then others must resolve to do it for them. Commitment is the basis for action, and action, the stepping stone to change. We must not only speak at people. We must speak to them and make them hear.

Mr. Kunstler reminded the jury that its verdict “authorizes punishment. What comes out of this courtroom,” he said, “is important to a system that has been gravely shaken in every other William Kunstler, attorney for Attica defendant Dacajewiah (John Hill), presented most of his summation to the jury yesterday while a disturbance raged outside tjie County Court building on Franklin St. Nearly 100 supporters of the Attica defendants were pushed way.” For the next two hours, Mr. out of the Erie County Courthouse by sheriffs deputies Kunstler attacked the testimony shortly after the morning session of the state’s chief witness, former prison guard Donald Melvin. Mr. began. Melvin had initially testified that was rumored that the action It was ordered because he had seen Dacajewiah hit prison demonstrators had applauded Mr. guard William Quirm, but later Kunstler and booed state admitted having “slight” doubts prposeuctor Lous A’Dala as each about his identification. Mr. entered the courtroom. News Kunstler stressed that Mr. Melvin reporters were not allowed by had contradicted his own police to leave the courthouse to statement several times.

He characterized Mr. the two defendants entered and Spear as “a man who has perjured began shouting, “The cops are himself.” Mr. Spear had denied clearing out the whole building. any knowledge about Mr. Quinn’s death for 28 months before They’re pushing them all out.” Judge King reprimanded changing his story without a Dacajewiah (but not Mr. stated reason, Mr. Kunstler told Pernasilice), warning him not to the jury. “make any comments about what’s going on outside.” He Lies, more lies He pointed out that Mr, Spear reminded the jury that the trial was taking place in the courtroom had lied on the witness stand and not in the demonstration when he said he had been outside, and asked the jurors if employed for six moth, since he they had been “interfered with or had really worked for only a intimidated” by anyone. week. The defense lawyer hinted that the prosecution may have Historical context had something to do with Mr. Mr. Kunstler objected to Judge Spear’s perjury, but protects itself King’s statement, claiming it by isolating the lies of a witness prejudiced the jury. “This is going from its case. “You can see why it is to be a long summation,” he then necessary.for Mr. A’Dala to give _ lectures to his witnesses about lying,” Mr. Kunstler said. “It looks like the state is clean, only the witness is lying.” The afternoon session began with Mr. Kunstler requesting a mistrial on the grounds that the jury had been prejudiced against the defendants because of Judge King’s comments that morning and the fact that jury members had to be escorted to lunch by armed policemen, persumably to be protected from supporters who had been waiting outside the packed courtroom. “You are not giving them a fair trial,” Mr. Kunstler declared. Judge King angrily dismissed the motion. “1 am fed up with your telling me 1 don’t have a conscience,” he told Mr. Kunstler. “No matter how many times you quote the Bible, I have just as much conscience as you,” the Judge said. What happens when jurors leave the courtroom “is not my problem,” Judge King added. Paroles granted Mr. Kunstler went on with his attack on the prosecution’s key witnesses, telling the court that they all received parole after agreeing to testify against the defendants. He described William Rivers as a man “who would do anything to stay out of jail.” Mr. Kunstler pointed to the fact that Mr. Rivers had admitted on the stand that he withheld incriminating information until his fourth interview with state investigators. Mr. Kunstler noted that William Rivers. Leland Spear and Edward Zimmer all had the same —Jensen Supporters of Attica defendants Dacajewiah and Charlie Joe Pernasilice milling around defense attorney William Kunstler Monday during a break in his summation. parole officer, an uncommon practice in New York State. But rather than blame Mr. Rivers for what he did, Mr. Kunstler asked the jury, “Can you blame him for wanting out?” The lawyer went on to describe prison as a place where “human beings move like Pavlov’s dogs to the sound of bells in prison.” Differing reasons Mr. Kunstler discussed the discrepancies between the testimony of Mr. Rivers and Edward Zimmer. Mr. Zimmer testified that he and Mr. Rivers had seen Dacajewiah hit Mr. Quinn, but there are contradictions in their versions of when they left Attica prison’s Time Square area the day of the uprising. Mr. Zimmer said they left after Dacajewiah allegedly hit Mr. Quinn, but Mr. Rivers testified that they remained in the area and saw Mr. Pernasilice strike the prison guard. Returning to the theme of parole, Mr. Kunstler said the defense’s key witness Edward Burquette came forth at the last minute even though it might endanger his parole. “Edward Burquette was a heroic person in this courtroom,” Mr. Kunstler asserted. “If any man was worthy of belief, it was Edward Burquette.” Except for a few minor technicalities, he said the prosecution had been unable to contest Mr. Burquette’s claims that he had spent almost the entire morning of Mr. Quinn’s death with Dacajewiah and did immediately — - —continued on page 2— Student politics Resolution supports dismissal of charges -Forrest Qloria PtUZOT) The Student Assembly passed without opposition Monday a resolution that puts Student Association (SA) on record as supporting the dismissal of all charges against Attica defendants Dacajewiah and Charlie Joe Pernasalice. The resolution also calls for cancellation of classes and renting of buses so students can attend a vigil outside the Erie County Courthouse. Sponsored by Gloria Pruzan, Richard Sokolow, Arlene Ferris, Dave Chavis, Mindy Lubber, Robert Cohen and Thom Lawrence, the resolution passed to loud applause in a crowded Haas Lounge after those present heard only one speaker and viewed a videotape presentation on the Attica Prison rebellion of 1971. A plan to reorganize the Speakers Bureau, which was also approved by the Assembly, proved more controversial. The plan replaced the single chairperson with a seven-person committee to pick speakers with the approval of the Executive Committee and the Assembly. Legalities Assembly member Jon Burgess objected to the proposal because he was convinced the measure, as originally stated, was unconstitutional. He reasoned that the original proposal, which would amend the Book of Rules of the new constitution, was invalid because that document could only be amended by the student body or by the Student Senate, the group that will replace the current Assembly in September. Since there is no senate, Mr. Burgess argued, any amendment “is completely invalid.” He carried his point and Bert Black amended the original resolution, changing it into a directive from the Student Assembly to the SA President to create such a committee, which is within her power under the current constitution. Speakers Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow lost a bid to table the whole motion until Sub-Board I, Inc. reported on the feasibility of a Sub-Board takeover of the Speakers Bureau. In other business, the Assembly elected Judi Young and Robert Cohen to serve as Assembly representatives to the Executive Committee. The Assembly also approved an $1100 expenditure from the Student Activities budget to bring consumer advocate Ralph Nader to this campus Sunday afternoon. , �Kunstler summation... of education Fruits Businesses, health careers successfully attract seniors hospital administration and public Editor's note: The following is the first of a two part administration, administration series on the employment situation for graduating seniors Management types Management is recommended for people who want to deal with others, have good organizational skills, want to work and serve in the public, hospital health service sectors, or want to work in seniors are and graduating As May approaches, finding business,” Mr. Hopkins said. growing more uneasy about the prospects of of the applicants to the School of Most market. today’s tight job employment in who at Cornell start out with liberal arts Management At least 12 percent of the students degrees.

Edward Doty, vice president for Finance and Management, predicted that few employees disrupted would observe the strike. Campus will therefore not be appreciably. Mr. Doty pointed out that when a statewide “job action” was called by CSEA in 1972, few employees here stayed home. In the case of a successful strike, though, Mr. Doty declined to predict which services would be most affected or what contingency plans the University would adopt. State workers represented by CSEA have been negotiating with the state since January 1st. Areas of disagreement include wages, increments (how much of a raise each employee would get with each additional year on the job), setting up an agency shop (where non-CSEA members would be required to pay dues to CSEA since it represents them in bargaining, whether or not they join), and improvements in medical insurance. According to local CSEA spokespeople, the two sides are still far apart on all issues.

On that day, 1500 prisoners of all races and nationalities took over D yard and D block at Attica prison, held guards hostage for protection, elected their own representative governing body, and put forward a petition demanding to be treated like human beings. A guard injured in the rebellion died oq September 11, and the State authorities and mass-media spread the rumor that the prisoners had slashed the throats of all the guards who had died. Having whipped up hysteria among the public, the State of New York answered the prisoners’ demands. Thousands of heavily armed National Guardsmen, State police, and Corrections Officers assaulted the prison on September 11, killing 39 men, including 10 State-employed guards, and wounding some 200 others in the bloodiest one-day slaughter in America since the Indian massacres of the late 19th century. Travesty of justice The Official Report of the New York State Special Commission on Attica has concluded that none of the guards’ throats was slashed. After the prison had been retaken, selected prisoners, whe were considered leaders, were assassinated by the State authorities. The total dead stood at 43. Then, on September 1, 1973, a special Grand Jury handed down indiectments charging 61 prisoners with murder and other felony charges, while not one State official, guardsman or policeman was charged with anything. This is itself is a complete travesty of justide. But to really understand Attica, one must view it it a broader context. Economic deprivation First, we must ask, “Who are the prisoners?” Many are there for stealing, and some for more serious crimes. But stealing in a society that has deprived one of job skills, adequate education, decent living conditions, and most importantly, adequately paying jobs, is merely an act of survival. Anyone familiar with the history of our country knows that unemployment has always existed, and that various groups, races and nationalities have always been deprived of equal opportunities. The reason for this is quite apparent. The natural functioning of our nation’s economic system, capitalism, is for the privately-owned factories, banks, and other businesses to increase their profits, or be bought out by those who do. One way to do this is to keep wages low, and maintain in society a constant group of unemployed persons who live so precariously they can be called on to take the jobs of better-paid workers. ‘Divide-and-conquer’ In addition, when these unemployed become desperate enough, they will be forced to steal to live, and will have become dehumanized enough, because of their long mistreatment, to behave in other anti-social ways. The result is that the people are divided and antagonistic to one another, weakening their opposition to the exploiting ruling forces. This “divide and conquer” strategy has been used by ruling classes since the beginning of class-divided society. are said to be ignorant. Deprived of jobs, they are said to be lazy. Without any money, they are forced to live in poverty. The ideology of racism and its institutional practice compliment one another in a self-fulfilling prophecy. The ideology of racism developed in colonial America around the middle and end of the 17th century. Indentured servants, both black and white, were leaving their masters’ lands after their period of compulsory service expired. The southern plantation owners especially wanted a way to insure a source of permanent cheap labor. While slavery was their answer, they couldn’t very easily ensalve all the workers, so they singled out the Africans. They one small group needed a way to justify this in the eyes of the public, so they began saying that dark-skinned people were inherently inferior, and needed a master to guide them in life. requirements. Attica are poor, where Slavery is an economic institution, which can be supported by the ideology of racism in certain situations, but is not always necessary. In ancient Greece, for example, slaves were light-skinned, just like not. — Today, the ideology of racism plays an important role in keeping the people divided. In the United States, the essence of racism is that dark-skinned people. Of course, biologests disproved this theory long ago, and history has recorded the contributions of people of all colors, in all fields of endeavor. Yet, this myth is perpetuated by the long and continual deprivation of dark-skinned people in the United States and elsewhere, so that their lack of training can be used against them. Racism Deprived of education and culture, they crime in Attica, is the crime of depriving American citizens of good and adequate educations; of job training and adequate paying jobs; of decent living conditions; and of adequate health and cultural their masters. Within this context, it is nor hard to see why the majority of prisoners in Attica were and still are dark-skinned. The real With Women’s Studies College (WSC) has fared well, despite the conditional charter granted by President Robert Ketter last January. WSC, along with Clifford Furnas CoUege, were the only colleges recommended for oonditional chartering by the CoUeges Chartering Committee. The charter’s conditions, which sparked much opposition by WSC members, caUed for the CoDege to clearly indicate when the terms “woman” and “women” are used genetically and when they are used to exclude men. The charter also requires that the College “expressly adopt the principles of academic freedom and equality of access to courses to which the University is committed,” a condition added by the Chartering Committee in response to complaints that men were excluded from some courses. Additionally, the charter mandates a review of the College after 18 months to determine whether WSC has complied with it’s requirements. The college is currently trying to clarify use of the term “woman.” WSC members said the clarification would not make a significant difference in the College’s operation, however. Many people had the impression that men were excluded from WSC courses because “people generalized that there are no men in Women's Studies,” according to WSC member Dene Krzystek. Some exclusionary courses are still allowed to exist under the charter, as long as they constitute a small part of the total number of classes in the College and are “educationally valid” according to a statement issued January 3 by Dr. Ketter. Additionally, these courses would be open to grievances against their exclusionary policies. Walter Kunz, associate Dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) said in a letter on March 27 that DUE will review the “aim and justification” of all courses that exclude men. rational construction of the benefits, and no one would have a need to steal. Real criminals Sick and anti-social people would be treated in hospitals, not in repressive prisons, subject to the beatings of certain sadistic guards. No, the real criminals in the Attica case are the monopoly capitalists, and their servants in government who perpetuate a system where some are wealthy and others some are idle while others overworked, and where some are afforded opportunities while others are are The unknown prisoners at Attica were propelled onto the center stage of history for five days in September, and it is the thought of those desperate but heroic men who will live on in the hearts of compassionate people everywhere. Male exclusion under explanation in by Fredda Cohen Spectrum Staff Writer the society, there would be no unemployment, since life can constantly be improved. With the rational construction of society, all people would make a contribution to the advancement of society, all would enjoy A WSC spokesperson said men who are excluded from the courses are directed to other courses in the College, or to other colleges that teach related courses, such as College F’s study of sexism. If both alternatives are unsatisfactory, “independent study” will usually be offered by WSC, the spokesperson added. Self help One course that excluded males was the Self-Help course, which was not offered this semester. It is not known if the course was cancelled because of the flack Women’s Studies received. In the meantime, the instructors for the course, a collective consisting of community members, will offer workshops sometime in the near future. The workshops will be based on the programs offered at the Women’s Center on Franklin Street in downtown Buffalo, and will be open to all women. Women in Contemporary Society (WS/213) also excludes men. The course currently has nine sections, all of which are overcrowded. One instructor claimed the class has been very successful for the past ten years under this policy. Each semester, WS/213 is reviewed, and if necessary, revised by staff members. Students also evaluate all courses in WSC Discussing the goals of the College, Ms. Krzystek said that “Generally, our purpose is to try to understand the position of women in society in all aspects of the roles that women play, and to improve that position. We try to increase our understanding of sexism in relation to the oppression of other people,” she added. On International Women’s Day, a few months ago, WSC led a campus celebration, and spoke about the history of International Women’s Day. Flo Kennedy, a feminist lawyer, spoke on campus. Information tables also were set up by WSC. Additionally, the College participated in a celebration downtown, including various workshops such as one dealing with women in the home and types of domestic work. WSC members give lectures at local high schools and colleges, and work with other women’s groups in the Buffalo community. WSC also sponsors speakers like Tillie Olsen, who is a feminist writer, scheduled to speak here April 29. WSC has been researching, evaluating and initiating new courses.

Haldeman, CBS News has raised highly complex moral, philosohpical and practical issues and ignited a blazing controversy within the forest of crusading journalists. “CBS, which is forever demanding equal rights under the First Amendment, is now introducing the unequal principal that the news belongs to the outfit with the biggest bankroll,” charged New York Times Executive Editor James Rcston in a recent column. Bankroll journalism could have other, equally disasterous consequences. There is a very real danger that a source will embellish his story to justify the money he’s being paid. Some people might begin inventing news to make money. Even the most insightful reporter might experience difficulty distinguishing these journalistic bankrobbers from their truthful counterparts. And once a journalist has paid for news, he may be reluctant to carefully check the accuracy of the information gleaned from the paid source. — Corrupting influence Moreover, now that people are getting paid for interviews, others who previously talked for free will begin demanding payments for information. CBS News has already paid G. Gordon Liddy and H.R. Haldeman for interviews, why should John Ehrlichman or Leon Jaworski give free interviews? The public perception of the media is undoubtedly affected by paid-for news. Indeed, it was the media that made us acutely aware of the corrupting influence that money has on otherwise honest people. The bankroll journalism controversy has raised another very disturbing issue. Specifically, CBS’s response to questions about the propriety of paid-for news has been anything but candid. Current news figure The CBS News policy manual states that “hard” news cannot be paid for. Nevertheless, CBS News President Richard Salant has justified the payment to Haldeman on the grounds that the interview was merely a memoir, and not hard news. Perhaps a distinction between hard news and memoir is valid in the context of an interview with a former president as years after his presidential term has expired when CBS paid Lyndon Johnson for an interview after LBJ left the White House. But H.R. Haldeman is still very much a current news figure. He is presently appealling his criminal conviction. Furthermore, Mike Wallace pursued current news topics in the first segment of the interview broadcast last Sunday. Wallace asked Haldeman if Nixon ever ordered him to get rid of the taping system. Haldeman said no. However, one of Wallace’s sources, who recently saw Nixon and Ron Ziegler at San Clemente, said Nixon had ordered Haldeman to get rid of the taping system years before Watergate. When Haldeman denied this allegation Wallace suggested that Haldeman was being set up to take the fall for the infamous tapes. In short, Mr. Wallace was actively pursuing a current news story, not merely presenting a memoir of the Nixon years. - Nevertheless, there may be valid reasons why the CBS decision was justified, despite the negative ramifications of paid-for news. Mr. Haldeman may not have agreed to be interviewed without payment. Because of his central role in the Watergate scandal, $25,000 may be a small price to pay for learning more about the why of Watergate. We may also assume that G. Gordon Liddy would not have agreed to be interviewed on a recent edition of 60 Minutes without the reported $10,000 payment he received. Hopefully, the Liddy interview will have some prophylactic effect on our future politicians who watched this mysterious macho figure tell Wallace: “Michael, Watergate was like brushing your teeth.” Vallace quiet CBS News and Wallace, however, have not yet publicly discussed paid-for news. Mr. Wallace did not even expressly tell us that either the Liddy or Haldeman interview had been paid for by CBS. This critical omission was surprising for several reasons. Wallace is a well-respected journalist with a reputation for asking all the tough questions and demanding answers. In the past, he has been one of —A EM the few journalists to seriously inquire into questionable media practices. For instance, after the Washington Post had secretly questioned the Watergate grand jurors, Wallace explored the moral and legal elements with Washington Post Editor Ben Bradlee. And just a few weeks ago, Wallace devoted a portion of his 60 Minutes to discussing whether journalists should investigate the private lives of public figures. Moreover, the paid-for news issue has sparked a great deal of controversy in the national press during the last two weeks. The central questions now become: Why didn’t Mike Wallace tell his viewing audience that Liddy and Haldeman were being paid for the interviews? And why didn’t Wallace discuss the important questions that have been raised about paid-for news? Page four Tfce Spectrum Wednesday, 2 April 1975 . t 1 asked the Marines for interviews.

David Zellman is running independently Mr. Brownstein, a freshman, outlined the Myriad platform, which pledges to protect dorm residents from rent or food service price hikes, “increase and expand” IRC services and activities, and “review and revise” dorm serucirty methods. “It’s time to stop kissing ass, I want to see the IRC really got done” said Mr. something Borwnstein, who emphasized concern for problems in the Governors Complx. “Residents, especially in Governors, are getting shafted from all sides,” he explained. “I will not tolerate people having to pay [the voluntary $20 IRC fee) without ever seeing anything of it,” Mr. Brownstein asserted. He also mentioned plans for inter-campus better communication in the dormitory community, suggested an intercom system for the dorms. Mr. Brownstein complained that Campus Security is “inefficient.” “Dorm security is not working properly and it will be one of the issues we will hope to resolve,” he said. —Kapp price increases, and Security dentralization of IRC services were the major topics discussed.

The IRC Executive Brownstein and Zellman. Lost faith Mr. Zellman is a junior who has lived on both campuses and is the only candidate other than Mr. Brownstein running for President. He is currently an IRC representative and also sits in on the IRC Executive Committee. Mr. Zellman said that his experience with IRC qualified him for the Presidency. “IRC has been dying for years because it has lost the faith of the students,” he emphasized, adding that “the problems of last year have not been solved.” “I want to re-establish respect for the IRC,” he said. Mr, Zellman’s platform includes a plan to decentralize IRC and increase the individual Area Councils’ budgets, which would insure better distribution of activities, he said. The three Area Councils are smaller IRC-affiliated bodies, located at Ellicott, Governors, and the Main Street dorms. Mr. Zellman’s platform also calls for an improvement in dormitory living without any rent increases, a guarantee that law students get “dead-end” suites, and that Food Service “surpass” minimum federal nutrition guidelines. “There is no reason why students must settle for any one [main course] option, feeling that they have not received their money’s worth,” he said. Stop competition Executive Vice additional funds through programs such as the Equal Program,” Ms. Opportunity Thompson added. Currently a member of the Ellicott Area Council Executive Committee, Ms. Shamak stressed the need for a different activity in the dorms every night. “We plan to coordinate all campus activities and the in this way stop competition for activities between campuses,” she explained. Mr. Glickman, a sophomore and presently treasurer of the Main Street Council, Area is running unopposed for Executive Vice President, and hopes to expand IRCB by “improving transportation services and rentals and assuming more of the responsibilities of this office.” Invasion of privacy Mr. Cohen, the sole candiate for Treasurer, who is now treasurer of the Governors Area Council, said he intends to work with the Residential colleges to develop more diverse activities for the dorms.

Esposito City Editor Legislation to create a federal Agency for Consumer Advocacy has passed, the Senate Government Operations Committee by a vote of 11 to one and is expected to go the full Senate for to consideration by the end of April. The bill, introduced by Senator Abraham Ribicoff (D., Conn.), would establish an independent, nonregulatory agency to represent consumer interests in court and before regulatory agencies like the Civil Aeronautics Board, Interstate Commerce Commission and Federal Maritime Commission. Senator Ribicoff has suggested that main targets for the Agency might include price-fixing and governmental regulations which result in wasteful spending. The bill, which has 43 co-sponsors, is “fundamentally the same as last year’s proposal,” explained Stuart M. Statler, chief counsel minority of one of the government operations subcommittees. The 1974 version fell victim to a filibuster led by Senators James B. Allen (D., Ala.) and the now-retired Sam J. Ervin, Jr. '(D., North Carolina). Proponents of the Consumer Protection Agency, by only one vote, did not succeed in breaking the filibuster. Filibuster rule change Mr. Statler believes a filibuster is less likely this year because of the recent reform which allows debate to be closed by a three-fifths vote of the Senate. Mr. Statler called the proposed body “strictly an advocacy agency which will have the use of the host agency’s subpoena power.” The Agency for Consumer Advocacy would have a budget of other existing regulatory agencies when instead the present agencies should be made to work.” Senator James Buckley (RC-N.Y.) has indicated he will vote against the bill and “will talk against it” on the Senate floor. Tim Lanigan, the Senator’s press aide, said Mr. Buckley views the agency as “just another extravagant waste of taxpayer’s money. It’s just adding another “Excellent chance” agency which won’t do the job,’ Mr. Statler noted that the Mr. Lanigan believes. The state’s White House position on the bill junior senator feels the advocacy no indication agency is “too heavy-handed an “is unclear whatsoever,” but pointed out that approach” and considers the New York’s senior Senator, “consumee himself the best Republican Jacob Javits, supports judge,” he continued. the legislation.

The Chief Counsel estimated that it would employ 500 people, including 300 professionals (primarily attorneys as well as some economists and technical experts). “The Agency can be involved in either informal activities, such as letter-writing, or formal procedures” on behalf of the consumer, he added. — CARNIVAL FOR WORLD HUNGER We need groups, clubs, organizations, or individuals to set-up and monitor any kind of carnival game for the Carnival For World Hunger.

The evacuation followed the weekend capture by North Vietnamese forces of South Vietnam’s second largest city, and the Thieu government’s last northern stronghold. A Saigon military official called the loss of DaNang “the single biggest military defeat for South Vietnam in the last 20 years.” The city, with one million refugees and one hundred thousand government troops within its limits, fell to the Communists early Sunday. DaNang. which served as headquarters for the U.S. Marines during the American involvement in Vietnam, is reportedly in a state of chaos.

President Ford announced Saturday night prior to the capture of DaNang that American transport vessels and contract ships have been directed to help the evacuation of refugees from coastal areas around DaNang. “Our vessels will not enter the combat areas or participate in any hostilities,” said Presidential Press Secretary Ron Nessen. The ships will be positioned some distance from the coast, probably out of range of North Vietnamese guns. A Provisional Revolutionary Government spokesman said the U.S. has provided warplanes to the Saigon government for use in forcibly evacuating hundreds of thousands of DaNang residents to the south. The question of U.S. participation in the evacuation operation, American officials maintained before the fall of DaNang. implies that President Ford may eventually have to decide whether to use U.S. troops for protection and order during the withdrawal of South Vietnamese refugees and soldiers. The Viet Cong have accused the United States of a “deceptive trick” in organizing the sealift. A Viet Cong spokesman said Monday that no foreign ships would be permitted to enter DaNang coastal waters without prior clearance from the Communists. Britain, Australia and several American allies have promised ships to assist in the evacuation. Officials have estimated that 30,000 to 50,000 Vietnamese have been taken out of DaNang since Thursday. Some 6000 were evacuated by the U.S. Navy cargo ship, the USS Andrew Miller.

The Saigon government is in disarray, the military is in breakdown, and there have been reports of attempted and planned coups against the Thieu regime. Nguyen Cao Ky, former vice president under Thieu. called last week for a new government to replace the current Saigon leadership. In Cambodia, meanwhile. President Lon Nol was expected to leave Phnom Penh yesterday, accompanied by his immediate family, two generals and their families, a former information minister and Lon Nol’s personal physician. The party will briefly visit Bangkok, Thailand before traveling to Jakarta, Indonesia and eventually Hawaii, where Lon Nol will reportedly seek medical treatment. He suffers from paralysis on one side, the result of a 1971 stroke. The Cambodian president’s departure, which was not announced to the nation’s people as of Monday, has prompted speculation that it may be a preliminary move to initiate negotiations with the Khmer Rouge insurgents who have refused to talk with the Lon Nol regime. Premier Long Boret will travel to Jakarta with the group, but government officials maintain he will return to Phnom Penh shortly thereafter. However, both Long Boret and Lon Nol are among those leaders whose deaths the insurgents have demanded. Neither official has indicated that he will resign once out of Cambodia.

It is, in fact, wandering about being somewhat irritable about the whole thing with many internal squabbles abour recession versus inflation and whether the prime interest rate should go up or down. Given the reality of this being a complex issue, and one that is, indeed, difficult to control, there exists a series of questions to which I can see no clear answer.

Only last week we were being bombarded by reams of propoganda about Cambodia. You recall, if we gave the Cambodians $222. million, it would get them through to the rainy season. When the rains came everybody would sit down and negotiate and a blood bath would be avoided. Which seems to be an essentially worthwhile argument, as long as we don’t ask how many people will die under the blood bath as opposed to how many die from rockets, starvation, etc. over the next two months of conflict. But that is a separate issue. The thing that seems shocking by its suddenness, is the series of reversals that has occurred in'Vietnam. After all the money, time and lives, it appears that there never was much ’seems ■ — - The , proposition? Because there does seem to be a bias in this direction, that wars or police action, or military grump assistance programs, or advisors, or whatever else you wish to label that particular skunk cabbage, are simple exercises of political-military-economic power. The reality of how accurate this assessment is, clearly lacks a great deal or at least the way our government has been behaving indicates a horrendous misperception of reality. If we can’t even figure out what to do with our own economy, how can we possibly hope to keep track of all the variables possible in even a relatively small war? There is only one answer: we can’t. The concept of fighting small strategic wars is clearly morally suspect. But trying to get this across to Henry and Gerald seems hopeless. Suppose we, therefore, try to point out the fact that it doesn’t work. “It is not like a football game. There are many more people on each side. They use guns. Guns kill including those who would be spectators. people Remember how hard it was to remember which man to block on a running play? Multiply that confusion by several million and think about it.” No, it won’t work. There aren’t enough syllables for Henry, and too many for Gerry. And nobody else seems to be really interested. With the exception of the little club of former commanders of that particular dirty stupid war, who came stumbling out into the sunshine, blinking and crying for more’aid, more bombs, more bodies. And to whom the government seems to listen with frightening regularity. Perhaps it isn’t surprising. If Cambodia and South Vietnam both collapse, we will not have a war on. There will be no place to go to listen to the sounds and see the sights of the real thing quite as easily. Perhaps there should be a reservation in the desert somewhere. Those military types who can’t do without a little blood and guts can choose up sides and go play war once a month. With each other, no troops involved. And a cheery rest of the week to you too.

Ford and Kissinger went on down the road believing their own propaganda and it led them astray. The issue was supposed to be one of freedom. The images were essentially that of the South Vietnamese fighting voluntarily to protect their precious land and freedom against the unwilling conscripts from the North. At last event the unwilling conscripts were way ahead. Something that was mentioned in several of the dispatches read was the behavior of many of the South Vietnamese officers who disappeared from their unit, leaving them without leadership at a crucial time. My suspicion is that there probably isn’t a whole lost of difference between the men in one army and the men in the other. The rank and file tend to have pretty much the same problems and same compliants. The difference may well come from the officers. Much has been made of those who defected from North to South. But it is hard for me to conceive of the North Vietnamese falling to pieces the way the situation in the northern provinces of South Vietnam collapsed in the last few days. Washington believed itself, ever a dangerous thing for a political entity to do. The ability to set up, or at the least maintain, a dictator to defend freedom has been tried again. It seems to have failed again, badly. Who knows what the outcome would have been given a different script.

Two hours later, Speaker’s Chairman Dan Bureau Tommorrow was found lying in Norton Union with two black eyes and a bloody lip, because, as Mr. Tomorrow himself explained last night to about 10,000 students who filled Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, “I blew it again.” Mr. Tomorrow is currently on a speaking tour to promote his new book, a first-hand account of his year as Speaker's Bureau Chairman entitled What Do I Do Now? a sure bet to cancel,” and “wait until two minutes before the program begins” before informing students of a cancellation. Throughout his speech, the 21-year-old senior drew parallels between the problems he had as Speaker’s Bureau chairman and those that faced Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. “Lincoln and 1,” he explained, "are united by the same oppression that strings all fools together nurdiness.” Lincoln was ostracized for opposing slavery, criticized for provoking the Civil War and attacked for cancelling programs that would have stimulated the economy,” Mr. Tomorrow declared. — Dan gets cancelled too In Buffalo, New York, more than 100 years later, he want on, “something else got cancelled my entire speaker's program for 1974-74.” Roaring with indignation, Mr. Tomorrow recounted how one by one, each of his programs went out the window. - Organization important He explained that there are two basic rules to follow when trying to organize an effective program of speakers: line up 10 alternates, “since the first nine are Kurt Hoemmel, the grandson of Adolph Hitler, was scheduled to speak here on October 5, but cancelled at the last second after hearing rumors that members of the Jewish Student Union were planning a demonstration. Mr. Tomorrow said this dilemna standing up for one’s beliefs at all costs had nothing to do with the lines, “Do I dare. Do I dare,” from T.S. Eliot’s poem. The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, or what Daniel Berrigan calls the “risk of self jeopardy.” “The guy was a pussy that’s all there is to it,” Mr. Tomorrow declared. “His grandfather would never have cancelled.” The following month, Mr. Tomorrow’s plans for a Max (Jethro Bodine) Baer program fell through, because, as he explained it, “those schmuckles thought Mr. Baer was less relevant than Kenry Kissenger.” — - - Draws large crowd He said he did nut understand this reasoning since Mr. Baer had attracted overflow crowds at many other schools across the —Jensen Dan Tomorrow most notably, P.S. 91 of the intellectual he could never the be in a million years, Mr. in Btonx. / Within'tfie next few months, Tomorrow concluded by calling nine more speakers failed to show on the audience of college fur up their scheduled students to try to understand appearances at the last minute, what forces had spurred so many Mr. Tomorrow said, earning him speakers to say, at the last minute, the nickname “the Pulpit Prince.” “This is a beautiful day to fuck With all the natural eloquence Dan over.” New theories Motel owner reopens Kennedy death probe by Aristotle Onassis Affairs Suite Cemetary (CPS) Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director William Colby has denied charges that a conspiracy involving some “75 to 80 well-dressed CIA agents” was responsible for the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Mr. Colby said the accusation was “preposterous” because “my men could not find their way around any American city, and are ignorant of its finer clothing stores as well.” The allegation stems from the private investigation of (“Fearless”’ Fred Ford, a Tampa motel owner, who revealed the plot after many hours of interviewing popple who were at the scene of the November 1963 shooting in Dallas. Besides the conspiracy theory, Mr. Ford has also come up with the once-hushed “Tank Theory,” and the “Johnson-Pony Theory.” Should the new revelations prove true, the case and coffin of former President Kennedy would be open again. “Lord, they shot poor Lee Harvey down” Mr. Ford said he became interested in the Kennedy shooting after listening to the comedy album, “The First Family” in late 1969, He found that by playing certain cuts backwards, the album elicited certain clues to how the assassination occurred. “On one cut, you can actually hear the motorcade turning the corner, while John asks Jackie for an aspirin. After a few moments, there are some loud pops, and the motorcade suddenly picks up speed. Jackie then moves from her seat and pulls the secret service man onto the car while exclaiming, i think there’s some aspirin in the trunk’.” Lee Harvey Oswald is apparently absolved from his role of the murderer. The album reveals that Oswald was snoring soundly in bed when secret service agents broke into the room and brought him downtown for questioning. Oswald was a good friend of his eventual executor. Jack Ruby, who fired the weapon under the belief that it would release a bouquet of paper mache flowers. “The bullet was a complete surprise to the both of them, but Oswald took it good naturedly,” said Mr. Ford. “It’s strange though,” he continued. “The aobum was made before the assassination. It’s entirely possible that these chancingly discernible noises were Fred Ford, ex-Tampa motel owner, demonstrates the 'Tank Theory" that he claims was used in the unintentional. But going.” it got me The Grassy Noel Mr. Ford then traveled to Dallas to interview the eyewitnesses to the shooting. It was easy enough to set up the appointments but usually Mr. Ford met up with the same results; the interviewee would mysteriously die. One woman fell under a steam roller in her living room. Another witness drove his car off the wing of a 747. “One guy’s face was found buried in a bowl of chili. The guy behind the counter Cold me the chili was ‘murder’ without crackers,” Mr. Ford declared. All in all, all 36 witnesses met with some form of death or another. Then, on Christmas day, conspiracy to murder President John F. Kennedy "It blended in good with grassy knoll," he said. in 1974, Mr. Ford managed to reach the final witness before he expired on the very grassy area that might have been a sniper point. “The guy told me a lot in his last dying breaths,” said Mr. Ford, “including some of the best cat-houses in Dallas.” It was after that, that Mr. Ford brought the information to the public’s attention. Mind over brain matter “That guy Ford is a nut!” proclaimed Mr. Colby who gave up his Monday golf game to hear Mr. Ford’s testimony. According to the report, “75 to 80” CIA men fired at the President’s motorcade at precisely the same time “which gave the impression of three or four bullets.” Trained in Cairo, the sharpshooters were assured of at least one bullet finding its mark. Also, the fact that parts of Kennedy’s head were found on the trunk of the motorcade lends truth to the theory that at least one shot did not come from behind. ‘The secret service agent who jumped onto the car was actually not a government agent. We now have conclusive proof that his real name is Harold Pressberg, a professional souvineer collector. His next biggest prize is a tooth from the Lindberg baby,” asserted Mr. Ford. Mr. Ford then pointed to a list of names of “well-dressed” men that boarded a Greyhound Bus to Alaska where they assumed different identities for 12 years. —continued on page 14 Wednesday, 2 April 1975 .

The purpose of the breakfast was to relieve the so-called animosities that may have developed over the years between students from Buffalo and their counterparts from the Emerald Island. “Just look at these kids mingling,” commanded Ms. Smath. “1 feel like Jim Lang on the ‘Dating Game’ almost.” Free food The festivities began at 8:00 a.m. with a prayer from Father Gallegher of the Neuman Center and a curse from Rabbi Goorari. “It’s great when members of the two great religions of the world, not to put down our lovely Budahists, of course, can get together and break bread and wine over a bowl of matzoh,” Ms. Smath interjected once again. The participants themselves were overwhelmed the by presence of one another. One commuter student pointed to a shapely co-ed and asked: “is that a JAP?” He was promptly corrected when she turned out to be Ms. Smath. “You know, that kid will go places,” she giggled. It was all bagels and kielbasa as the residents from Fun City met with the hairs from the armpit of the East. A group of Merry Carnarsie cut-ups laughed heartily at one young Buffalo man whose Farrah slacks came up three inches from his ankles. “Where’d ya get ya clothes,” they chuckled, “Bethlehem Steel?” “It’s about time you got to me,” Ms. Smath asserted. “We are in the process of bridging the gap between the ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’ and I’m sure today’s breakfast will ‘break’ a lot more than ‘fast,’ if you know what 1 mean.” “Now, don’t cut away to the next paragraph until I’m through speaking.

Over the last several months, several people have reported hearing his voice, which stands out considerably more than his physical appearance, in a variety of locations. One spokesman claims he has heard Mr. Regenbogen’s soft, Brooklyn drawl whenever he walks through basement of Harriman Hall. “I was sitting in a stall in the Harriman bathroom and could swear I heard Regenbogen say, ‘Campus Security should drop dead!’” the spokesman told The Spectrum. Tactful person He said that when he posed the question, “Is that you Mitchell?” he heard the same voice reply, “Lie down ym moron!” Another source, Dickenson J. Zeus, admitted hearing similar noises while he was in the same bathroom. Since many who have accompanied him to the bathroom were unable to hear any voices, Mr. Zeus believes he has been singled out by Mr. Regenbogen from all mankind to perform a divine mission. “Just the other day he said to me, ‘Truly, 1 say to you. You’re a sick bastard’.” Another source, who called herself “Deep Though,” says she has seen Mr. Regenbogen typing at a desk in The Spectrum office on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Redhead I. Dead, Managing Editor of The Spectrum, ’ confirmed this week that the paper had recently hired a new campus editor who was cross-eyed, bowlegged, jaundiced, smelly, knockneed, slightly retarded, attributes which make him a solid candidate for SA. This description also confirmed speculation that it was Mr. Regenbogen. Multiple hats Despite these physical drawbacks, many of the younger female staff writers on The Spectrum admit to having “the hots” for their new campus editor. “Suave,” “a real man,” “debonair,” “intellectual,” “a killer in bed,” “a great tongue kisser,” are just a few of the adjectives that women have been directed towards Mr. Regenbogen. As one coed put it, when asked why she found him so attractive, “He’s got the longest cigar in the world.” In spite of this adoration, there are others who have reported observing a “different side” to Mr. Regenbogen. Richard Korperson, Mitch’s co-Editor, gave this description of how he had discovered him late one night a few weeks ago: “I walked into the office. Except for the light in Larry’s office, the place was deserted. 1 tip toed over and saw Mitchell sitting behind the Editor-in-chief’s desk. He was leaning back on the swivel chair with both legs on the table and began giving out orders, even though no one was around. “All of a sudden he ..potted me and began assigning stories to me. “When 1 asked him why he was calling members of the administration and hanging up on them, he came over and punched me in the stomach. “He was naked below the waist, and looked embarrassed.” And just the other day, Mr. Regenbogen was observed in a drunken frenzy tearing a towel dispenser off the wall at a local bar after a waitress there told him to “eat out somewhere else.” Mr. Regenbogen had arrived there around 1 a m. with his best friend, local magician Bob Zalien. When Undergraduate Dean Charles Zebert reported that when he telephoned Mrs. Regenbogen last week to obtain some background information about her son, she did not seem that concerned. “Why should I care,” Mrs. Regenbogen told Dr. Zebert. “My son is a sick bastard.” Jeffersoning Ketta mounts Bemie’s post by Mel C. Icculoc Norton Hack President Robert Ketta named Thomas Jefferson Vice President for Academic Affairs Monday. Mr. Jefferson takes over the post left vacant since after Bernard Greenbaum resigned last summer A native of Virginia, Mr. Jefferson attended the College of William and Mary and studied law under George Wythe. Educated as a lawyer and political scientist specializing in early American political thought, Mr. Jefferson has published The Declaration of Independence and A Summary View of the Rights of British America, both considered seminal works in the field. Mr. Jefferson’s knowledge of politics is not simply academic, however. He served in the Virginia legislature and is best remembered there for his sponsorship of the Act for Establishing Religious Freedom in his state. But Mr. Jefferson is also a man of wide-ranging intellectual interests. The son of a surveyor, he has a keen interest in agriculture. He is an accomplished amateur architect and designed his own home, Monticello. Mr. Jefferson has also compiled a dictionary of native American languages and considers himself a “respectable” violinist. Dr. Ketta praised his new appointment, calling This waste of space was, as usual, paid for by mandatory student fees The University Union Activities Board is pleased to announce the return of famed ventriloquist Oscar Myers to the U.B. campus, April 4, S and 6.

Mr. Jefferson; “a man of vast learning who has a grasp of practical reality.” When The Septcrum asked if Mr. Jefferson, who has not held an academic post for a number of years, could handle the complexities of the Vice Presidency, Dr. Ketta said Mr. Jefferson has had “considerable administrative experience,” but he declined to elaborate. Though it was not specifically in academic administration, Dr. Ketta went on, he had “every confidence” that Mr. Jefferson was qualified. Reached by The Septcrum at his Virginia farm, Mr. Jefferson said he was honored to be selected: “When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary to return to academic life, I hope I will justify the confidence Dr. Ketta has shown in me thus far.” Mr. Jefferson said he was a great believer in public higher education and welcomed the opportunity to be involved in something so dear to his heart. He said he did not plan to teach in his first year since it would take him a while to orient himself to his new position. He expressed hope, however, that he would be able to teach a course each semester thereafter. Mr. Jefferson was selected over 133 other candidates for the position.

The moment Mr. Ford pulled a trigger, the tank discharged a bomb shell that Mr. Ford said was used as a “diversionary tactic.” “The shell is probably still lodged in the glove compartment of the motorcade,” he maintained. Also, there have been some questions raised as to whether former President Johnson was involved in the conspiracy. Mr. Ford then went on to explain the “Johnson-Pony Theory”: “Johnson’s car was some distance behind Kennedy’s prior the assassination. If Mr. Johnson was in on the conspiracy, then he must have realized that the chance of a bullet going awry was a distinct possibility. to With this in mind, Johnson indiscreetly opened the back door and ran to a nearby doorway where his favorite palomino, 'Mr. Ed,’ was waiting. Johnson hopped onto the pony and rode the horse past the parade of cars with a ten-gallon hat pulled over his head. Safely out of the range of danger, the horse pulled up short and collapsed with a broken leg. Mr. Johnson, an old believer of the domino theory, believed that if the horse fell, he would be the next to go. Johnson pulled out a revolver to shoot the pony, but, unfortunately, Officer J.D. Tippit got in the way of the bullet. Mr. Johnson then assumed the Presidency a short time later on the Presidential carrier with Mrs. Kennedy looking on. She noticed some “foul-smelling matter” on LBJ’s shoes but did not report this to police officials. shortTAKES Blood on the Run Bob and Pattie Dylan team up for an album that’s sure to get your hemoglobin bubbling.

It is an utter thrill to listen to the mesiah perhaps of majestic melodies his last song, compose “GAAAAGGGG!” The ambulance sirens are a trip too. Rating: “Stone Free (and Dead).” Guy Young, A Scheming Sister, (Beeline, $1.95) The moral of A Scheming Sister is, I guess, that the family that plays together stays together. Mr. Young’s premier effort for Beeline, a small publishing house specializing in literature “For Mature Readers,” is the story of nineteen-year-old Liz Reynolds, who, caught by her mother in the act of incestuous intercourse with her father, returns from her banishment to an unnamed college in Boston (a friend of mine at Harvard assures me the fictitious Ms. Reynold’s sexual habits give her away as a Radcliffe student) and tries to unite the broken family through her sexual generosity. This reviewer had been out of touch with the adult book scene and was mildly surprised to see that incest is now such a common theme in the literature. There are in A Scheming Sister's 188 pages of 23 basic sexual combinations, many repeated several times. First, as is common in the genre, the heroine masturbates herself. This is followed by a flashback to Liz’s incestuous coupling with her father, Martin. When Liz returns home, she seduces her fifteen-year-old brother Bobby, and her eighteen-year-old sister Barbara. Then all three practice familial togetherness. Liz helps her brother score with Holly Aldrich, a fifteen-year-old sybarite from next door and takes her brother’s girlfriend’s virginity, rupturing her hymen with a vibrator. Bobby enjoys the fruits of his sister's ingenuity and Holly, seeing how much Liz and Bobby enjoy a frantic three-way tumble, decides to seduce her brother Carl. By now, you get the idea. Eventually, Carl scores on the harried mother, June Reynolds, who is frustrated by the impotence of Carl’s father, Larry, with whom she had been having an unfulfilling affair. Holly, meanwhile, restores her father’s lost manhood and June, after a passionate night with her daughter, falls for Liz’s feigned concern over Bobby’s latent homosexual tendencies and straightens her son out literally as well as figuratively. In the process, Liz deviously gets her father home to watch the fun and the book climaxes in a and the entire Reynolds family free-for-all. rousing five-way Mr. Young is a promising new writer with a great deal of potential and a fair ear for the language. He does, unfortunately, lapse into some of the flaws of the erotic genre. Also, his research is a bit shoddy. He credits Carl in one sequence with three consecutive orgasms (with his sister Barbara), a fifteen minute rest, three more, and, understandably enough, a sore penis. I don’t know anyone with that kind of endurance, and if I did, I’d keep any girlfriend of mine far away from him. That kind of competition I don’t need. Still, Mr. Young is clearly an up and coming star on the porno book horizon, and A Scheming Sister is a worthy first effort. It’s easy reading too; I read half of it while driving from Albany to Syracuse. MichaelBlattsilver - - - - Modeling Dept, seeks clear faces and shrunken t-shirts by L.

SHOULD THROW THIM ALL IN JAIL FOR SUBVERSION In Monday’s issue of The Spectrum, an article entitled “NYPIRG Calls For More Efficient Energy’ erroniously stated that Arthur Kremer’s proposals included a ban on new construction of electrical power plants. His proposal called only for a ban on all electrical home construction. NYPIRG does not support a ban on power plant construction. . . The inclusion of the news article Demonstrators Guest Opinion by Dennis Delia Student Athletic Review Board Every time I read of sports in The Spectrum, I wonder where we would be if not for our “one man crusader against athletic wrongdoing,” Sports Editor Bruoe Engel. Actually, I shouldn’t speak sarcastically of Mr. Engel, but I’m sure he would be the first one to defend the writing of my biased personal opinions in this paper, as he has smeared The Spectrum sports section with his for the past year. It may seem to the reader that I am upset with the writings of The Spectrum Sports Editor, and you would be correct in that assumption. 1 would like to elaborate, if I may. Mr. Engel has seen fit to use his position to “defend” himself from what he felt was an attack upon his “professional journalism” by swimming coach Bill Sanford. In this “defense,” he succeeded in slandering a man who for 25 years has faithfully and willingly served the students. I’m sure many of you can recall the recent series of articles in which our Sports Editor has lowered himself to “professional” namecalling (i.e., “a bitter old man”). More recently, and to further my personal frustration, Mr. Engel has written an article on athletic aid and scholarships. He presents this article (The Spectrum, 3/26) as a forum on a “controversial subject” in conjunction with an article written by Rich Baumgarten (Class of ’70, former Sports Ed ). Now Mr. Engel is creating controversies out of thin air! For to my knowledge, such a controversy doesn’t exist. Aren’t there enough false rumors running rampant through the general student body about the student athlete? Must Mr. Engel feed more misconceptions to the student body via his position as Sports Editor? To read his article on “Grants and Jobs for Athletes,’’ one would get the idea that the G1 Bill, EOF, Foreign Student Tuition Waivers, and Student Regents Scholarships are merely forms of “athlete aid from the department or university.” What does Mr. Engel desire from the student athlete? That merely because of his athletic status, he forfeits the right to financial programs which are the right of all qualified students? Words Mr. Engel, the fact that athletes participate in such financial programs or have on-campus jobs, not only does hot deserve an “expose” in The Spectrum but it is unfair and unjust discrimination against the student athlete. It also shows me that you haven’t the least regard for the personal feelings of student athletes. For this I am especially indignant. Did you ever take a moment to consider that some students (even if they’re athletes!) may be embarrassed to have the fact that they may be financially disadvantaged and are working to stay in school printed in the sports section of The Spectrum Mr. Engel further presumes in his article Doing What they Can” (The Spectrum, “Athletes 3/26) that in order to win consistently, you must be an “athletic factory like Ohio State.” Again, this is not the case, and 1 need not invoke our records now to prove it. Athletic scholarships, should they be provided by an outside source, do not mean the introduction to our campus of unqualified students or robotlike athletes, as Mr. Engel irresponsibly suggests. On the contrary, it means that U.B. may attract local and New York students, who often go away because of financial needs and offers from out of state schools who could benefit the university community as students and athletes. It is merely an decry airlift, within the text of the Indochina Commentary by Paul Krehbiel in last Wednesday’s The Spectrum was in no way intended to suggest that Mr. Krehbiel wrote the news article, or is in agreement with the strategy and tactics of the Spartacus Youth League or the Revolutionary Student Brigade. While emphatically opposing all aid to Thieu and Lon Nol, and supporting the strategic aims Of the National Liberation Front, the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam, and the Royal Government of National Union of Cambodia, Mr. TCrehbiel feels that the Spartacus Youth League and Revolutionary Student Brigade are “disruptive elements, operating under the cover of the people’s popular movements.” ? — attempt to remain competitive, not to produce an athletic factory. Remember Mr. Engel, athletes as a rule are not stupid or robotlike as the stereotype that you are helping to foster. Previously, I had stated that I was frustrated. That is because my work in the past and the future, to destroy the athletic stereotype on this campus, and help the general student body to recognize the student athlete not as a parasite but as a person like themselves, is constantly thwarted by Mr. Engel. Mr. Baumgarten had said that this University was in danger of becoming the “patsy” of the east. In this he was mistaken; we have always held our own. It is the student athlete who, at UB, has been the “patsy.” Accused again and again of various wrongdoings through rumor and the misconceptions presented in The Spectrum I hope and pray that I have seen the last of unjust athletic discrimination and that I can continue my work and “clear the air” between students and student athletes. Prove your convictions To the Editor. If the members of SA wish to picket the Attica trials they should feel free to do so on their own time. Revolution, in this case the changing of the American legal system, is serious business. It may require sacrifice. It may require missing classes and accepting academic reprisals. Martin Luther King demonstrated this dedication and sacrifice. The Kent State killings were just a taste of real revolution. It is not a game. SA plans to cancel classes, rent buses, stage rallies and play games. The slogan “Attica is all of us” is only that, not reality. James Rapp “Mayhe That's One Reason It’s Been So Slow” from the Godfather To the Editor 1 must take exception to a recent letter extolling the virtues of the fine town of Brooklyn by one Jayson Wechter. When it comes to Coney Island, the Ex-Lax Factory, and William Bendix it is true that no city can hold a candle to Kings County. But as any first grader knows, it is Staten Island which has the largest per capita population of Mafiosi in the federal Eastern District of New York (“Staten Island Sunday Advance,” Vol. 88, No. 17,441). In deference to Mr. Wechter, though, I must admit that the majority of them have emigrated to Staten Island via the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. But Staten Islanders, in that great American tradition, have accepted these Brooklynites in the warm fashion that can only be found on the sidewalks of New York. Chow. Vito Corleone Shed those labels To the Editor. In Michele Smith and Art Lalonde’s poorly considered, irresponsible letter headlining the 3/31 edition of The Spectrum, they made several broad assumptions and accusations basejl on little evidence of fact. 1. The issue of the Attica trials is affecting all of 2. The American legal system apparently assumes people guilty until proven innocent. A rhetorical cliche. Read any good books lately? 3. Everyone is paranoid about an unspecified “them” who repeatedly maltreat an unspecified group. Need I repeat myself? 4. White, middle-class, pre-med, pre-law students are “us.” Don’t saddle me with that label. I can’t consider this letter to seriously. While it won’t effect my attitudes concerning the Attica trials issue, it certainly Has revealed something about their eagerness to jump on any bandwagon that stops at Norton Union.

Steve Kolodny is kneeling in front Eddie Arnold it misting. Look for these guys on a sulky at Buffalo Raceway April 11. Training student for pro harness racing by David J. Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer What do Eddie Arnold, Salvatore Galante, Robert Adelman, Frank Owens, Robert Balcerzak, and Steve Kolodny all have in common? They are the six people who were chosen by lottery to represent Buffalo in Buffalo Raceway's first annual Student Harness Racing Driver Championship. The six men were selected at a meeting of the 140 applicants who filled out the racing application that had appeared in The Spectrum last week. They, along with candidates from eleven other Niagara Frontier colleges, will be screened and trained by professional trainers and jockeys at Buffalo Raceway until 32 finalists are selected. On Friday April 11, finalists from Buffalo, Villa Maria, and Trocaire will compete in the first of four elimination races, with each driver eligible for cash prizes. The top two finishers from each of the four elimination races will then be eligible for the championship of the Niagara Frontier on Friday, May 9. Again, they will be eligible for drivers’ fees, but this time, the top five finishers will also win scholarships totalling $2000 respective schools. for Cavan, director of the intramural program’s coed basketball league. The program itself seems to answer with both a yes and a no. While men and women are on the court at the same time and could cooperate, a set of unique and controversial rules does a lot to separate the sexes. The rules seem to set it up so that the main members of a team are the women. A man can at no time step inside the key at either end of the court. Any basket by a man would result in two points, while a woman’s basket is worth four. It is clear why these rules have been employed. The men can no longer dominate the boards and with a man’s basket worth so little, the outside shooter is neatly transformed into a team player, passing the ball to the women inside. Positions The tempo of the game is slowed down considerably by the position given to a player. There are three positions with two players at each; one must be male and the other female. A guard can only play defense while the forwards can only play offense. An infraction in either direction (crossing the center line), results in a two point penalty. Rovers play all over the court. The main. problem that this creates is a game where most of the time only four people are participating while the others look on helplessly. This is clearly adverse to the basketball spirit which is usually (or should be) total teamwork with every player on the team participating. Cavan says that the game doesn’t necessarily have to go this way. “It’s up to the individual team to decide their strategy,” he stated, “but our most successful teams are those that use both men and women together.” Having fun? Cavan also said the main purpose of the program is to have fun rather than trying to win. But he can’t control the teams. “We provide a basic framework and they do what they want with it,” he said. Cavan also said the women in the program aren’t your more athletic and competitive women. Another strong point in favor of the program, according to Cavan, was that the league ran very smoothly and its participants were so impressed that they couldn’t wait for it to start up again next year. Mark Marcario, a team captain in the league, didn’t agree. “Every game, we played by different rules,” he said. Donna Hanlon had the same feelings about it. “My main complaint is that it was very poorly organized. We didn’t play nearly all the games we were supposed to,” she said. She also claimed that the refs often made their own rules, as they went along. their Varied backgrounds The six men who were selected to represent Buffalo have a wide variety of backgrounds. Three of them are from New York City, while the other three hail from Erie County. Robert Adelman is a 22-year-old law student, while Salvatore Galante is a seventeen-year-old freshman. Their experience with horses is equally varied. Eddie Arnold does extensive stable riding, and Galante’s father was a horse owner V1 Zoo or track On the other hand. Kolodny has been atop a horse only once or twice (not including merry-go-round rides), and Adelman’s closest contact has been from the grandstands of various racetracks. “1 grew up in Manhattan,” he explained, “and the only way I could see a horse was to go to the Bronx Zoo or the track. I picked the track.” If any of the six candidates get cold hooves, there are four alternates who were also selected at Monday’s meeting. They are: Chris Pogorzala, Monica Winkel, Paul Weinberg, and Gloria McKenna.

An open letter to the University Editor's Note: The following letter was submitted by Student Association (SA) President Michele Smith and Executive Vice President Art Lalonde. We would like to urge everyone to attend the Student Assembly meeting today at 4 p.m. in Haas Lounge, and the Attica trials on Wednesday, April 2. The very importatnt topic to be discussed will be the Attica trials. Although it has been said that the phrase is hackneyed, “Attica is all of us.” This is an issue that is affecting all of us whether we are involved in the trials or not. Think about it: the State of New York has put $9 million into the prosecution; the defense has been able only to come up with S2S0.000. With odds like that, would you be confident about the American legal system finding you innocent about anytinffl We all have a sneaking suspicion that there is some sort of consistency in the way that certain segments of the population are continually being given the shaft: some of those on the other end of the thrust are positive that there is an order to it. One thing for all of us white middle class pre-law and pre-med students have to keep in mind is who gets it after the blacks, the Native Americans, Puerto Ricans and Chicanos are Chewed up? Us? Assembly to hear resolution to support Attica rally Wed. A resolution that calls for the cancellation of all classes and exams this Wednesday so students can attend a vigil outside the Attica trial of Dacajewiah (John Hill) and Charlie Joe Parnasalice will be introduced at today’s meeting of the Student Assembly. The resolution, to be presented by Assembly members Gloria Pruzan, Richard Sokolow, Arlene Ferris and David Chavis, also requests that SA appropriate $550 for the rental of ten buses to provide students with transportation to the rally at the Erie County Courthouse. Furthermore, if the resolution passes, SA would go on record as supporting the dismissal of all current and pending charges against the two defendants. The request for a cancellation or postponement of classes and exams Wednesday is designed to allow “students, faculty, and staff members who wish to go to the rally to do so without fear of academic or administrative reprisals,” according to the resolution. SA would also sponsor a rally Wednesday night to assess the events of that day including a verdict, and investigate whit further if one is reached — — actions might be in order. The SpECTi^uM Defense attorneys indicated over the weekend that they would attempt to reopen their case for two more witnesses today, and sum it up tomorrow. The case is expected to go to the jury Wednesday, the day of the vigil. Attica Group The Attica Support Group, called on all interested students to attend the Assembly meeting today to express their support for the resolution. In addition, the group has asked students to join in a picket line outside the court today, tomorrow and Wednesday. Carpools will be leaving the Tower side of Norton Hall from 8:00 to 8:15 a.m. and again at 2 p.m. on each of those days. A poll of SA Executive committee members indicated wide support for the resolution, which could give it a better chance of passing the Assembly. Several members, however, expressed reservations about specific sections. SA officers are expected to formulate more definite reactions prior to the Assembly meeting. University operating budget is cut by state by Laura Bartlett Staff Writer Spectrum State University of New York at Buffalo Vol. 25, No. 70 Monday, 31 March 1975 Validity of SUNY health care document is being questioned interview Friday that the report was “not worth the paper it was written on.” Ms. McCormick explained that most of the by Mitchell Regenbogen Campus Editor Serious questions have been raised about the validity of a State University of New York (SUNY) report on Student Health Services designed to assess the individual health care needs of SUNY’s 72 campuses. The health care document, entitled A Paper Developed for Discussion of Policy Issues, was formulated by Ronald Bristow, SUNY Vice Chancellor for University-Wide Services and Special Programs. - document was based on a questionaire distributed to state campuses which was “ambiguous,” and which contained questions that were confusing and “leading. The campuses didn’t understand the survey,” she said. When tabulating the data, she found she was usually working with only one-half the campuses’ responses because the other half had failed to answer the questionaire, continued Ms. McCormick. “To call it (the report) even soft data is terrible,” Ms. The report found a sufficient variety of special health services on campuses besides the “basic” ones; but said there is no consistent relationship between the amount of resources available to each campus and whether the campus provides high or low cost health services. It also indicated that there is a difference in “definition between campuses of what constitutes a given [health service) function.” For example, campuses can have different interpretations of what “accessible” signifies it might mean three students able to use a facility at one campus, or 50 students at another campus. Additionally, the report sheds no light on the question of whether mandatory student fees should be used for health are. - - New York (SUNY) last Wednesday, slashing this University’s operating total budget from $81,674 to $80,931 Some of the cuts may be restored in the State supplemental budget, which will be voted on in May or June.

The State budget, which SUNY is only a small part of, has been “pared down to the dry bones,” Mr. Griffin said. Assemblyman Hoyt said that officials from SUNY Buffalo he with spoken had were “understandably pretty glum” about the cuts. SUNY has directed Dr. Ketter not to approach area legislators on his own to seek budget increases (See The Spectrum, March 21) to allow SUNY to lobby as a whole.

Dr. Ketter was vacationing this week and could not be reached for comment. Amherst construction Assemblyman G. James Robert Ketter Mr. Fremming said he was very concerned about the effects the cuts will have on the University’s medical school, since it will be up for accreditation in the near future.

Mr. Fremming added that some of the cuts already made will be detremental to the research University’s many projects. He said that if the Amherst campus construction were completed sooner, revenues that would be saved could be put into other areas, making the State's cuts less devastating.

Mr. Fremming regards these as expenditures, wasteful which make stepped-up construction at Amherst “a must.” legislators’ of the All spokesmen agreed that cuts in SUNY’s request are indicative of the general economic situation, and can hardly be considered surprising.

NYPIRG has also fought to change the definition of the term “sale.” According to the New York State Drug Laws, “sale” means “to exchange, give or dispose of to another, or to offer or agree to do the same.” Handing just one marijuana cigarette to someone constitutes a “sale,” even though no money has changed hands. Such a “sale” constitutes a Qass C felony and subjects the “seller” to a maximum fifteen-year imprisonment.

It’s hard to get respect if you’re not giving the culturally or politically accepted point of view to the judge.” Ms. Ratner would like to see more women working with her because she believes that they have a fundamental understanding of elitism and cannot be “caught up in the customs and in the polite attitude.” “It takes longer to gain a client’s confidence because you can’t come on macho and that’s a fast way to gain rapport.

During discussion of SASU’s position on the budget, however, some rumblings surfaced that foreshadowed a serious conflict. SUNY Chanclelor Ernest Boyer had asked for an increase of $87.5 million over the present budget (which would be roughly $697 million), but felt it would be futile to press for more than Gov. Carey’s $37.2 million increase. A “no growth” budget, one that would insure no cutbacks in positions or cervices, would have been about $55 million over last year’s budget. delegates, Some notably Geogge Boger of this University’s Graduate Student Association (GSA), pressed for a position demanding S87.5 million (Tver last The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer by The Spectrum Student Periodical Inc.

Both Frank Jackalone and Michele Smith were nominated for three undergraduate positions on the Executive Committee. Ms. Smith got a majority on the first ballot and Mr. Jackalone lost to Doug Mason of Utica-Rome and Bill Coughtry of New Paltz. The delegates were reluctant to elect two members from the same school. Members of the Buffalo delegation told Ms. Smith she should have declined to run because her Presidential duties would keep her too busy. They also said Mr. Jackalone would have been elected if she had not run. But Ms. Smith decided, and most of the delegation agreed, that having been elected there was no way out. Mr. Boger won election as a graduate student of member the Executive Committee. At Monday’s breakfast. Assembly Speaker Stanley Steingut (D-Brooklyn) stressed his past support of free public education and said he wanted SUNY to get its budget, but stopped short of saying he would make a concerted push for it. He painted the Republican-controlled Senate and its leader, Warren Anderson (R.-Binghamton) as fiscal villains unwilling to raise taxes to cover expenditures they themselves approve. Dissension The the lobbying began morning of the 24th, as teams of three to five students met with SASU’s legislators to push program with mixed results. By lunchtime, it became apparent that all wasn’t well. Irwin Landes (D.-Nassau), Chairman of the Education Higher Assembly Committee and a legislator generally considered friendly to SASU’s goals, got a somewhat tough reception from some of the people who had wanted to take a stronger position on the budget. That evening, caucuses of dissatisfied students met in crowded, smoke-and beer-filled hotel rooms. The Executive Committee responded by calling what turned out to ba an all-night soul-searching session after a reception for legislators and staff. For nearly six straight hours, people debated the aims and began to scuffle. John Sullivan, from the Buffalo delegation, who had entered the meeting only minutes before in an obvious state of inebriation, waded into the fight. The original combatants were separated while others held back Mr. Sullivan, who was screaming at the top of his lungs. When Mr. Sullivan was released, he threw over a student, who had not been involved in the fight, and then apologized. The fight seemed to serve as a catharsis for the group, and the emotional temperature dropped several degrees. From about 3 a.m. on, the members gradually melted back to their rooms. The, lobbying continued the next day as the legislature tactics of SASU, breaking into wrestled with a self-imposed Tuesday deadline for the passage of the state budget. Meanwhile, voting delegates discussed what sort of goals SASU should set for itself and what sort of tactics it should adopt. They adopted a plan offered by Ms. Smith and Mr. DiFillipo (for details see related story) for action during the preparation of the supplemental budget. Staff, officers, and long-time SASU members said they thought the previous days’ conflict cleared the air. “SASU will be stronger for this,” one officer said, and many others agreed with that two camps, one favoring more moderate goals and standard lobbying tactics and another stressing more sweeping reforms and more radical tactics. Slugfest The debate ran back and forth between the claims of practical effective and principle. Emotions ran high and violence broke out. One student threw his coat at GSA President Terry DiFillipo, who had been making comments during every other speaker’s Mr. presentation.

A frequent critic of the Jackalone administration said of Mr. Jackalone: “He’s a really sincere guy, but a lousy politican.” Mr. Jackalone should have been “tougher” according to his critics more “ruthless” and “forceful.” News Analysis Jaekalone’s SA haunted by — image, not performance trouble Editor's Note: The final part of this series evaluating the outgoing SA administration deals with imponderables of leadership, image problems, government-press relations and plain, hard-nosed politics. by Gem Colucci Special Features Editor The argument over whether the Student Assembly should direct Speakers Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow to bring William Kunstler to speak here was long, hot, and, frankly, often irrational. In one of the quieter moments of that debate, one person reacted privately to the charge thrown at the Jaekalone administration that it was “elitist.” “Elitism! Shit man, these clowns don’t know what they during the Dandes elitism is. Where were adminsitration? This is the least elitist adminsitration I remember and I go back a long way.” and most Whatever the merits of that analysis the observers would grant it considerable validity Jackalone adminsitration faced numerous complaints of elitism and left office convinced its great failure lay in not — — bringing Student Association (SA) closer to the poeple. The alleged elitism was, like many other of the Jackalone administration’s problems, a problem of image, not of performance. Image problems haunted the Jackalone adminstration throughout its tenure. By the time it left office, the administration had picked up an image of indecisiveness, elitism and inability to accomplish its goals. Among critics of the administration, these opinions were transformed from opinion to incontrovertible fact. And many of the administration’s supporters began to believe the same. Image problem Certainly, it is easy enough to see how this image was created. Early in the administration, one critic aid of President Frank Jackalone: “Frank’s problem is that he always plays devil’s advocate with himself.” A proficient high school debater, Mr. Jackalone learned the debater’s first lesson, to see both sides of any given issue. At best, this gives insight into an opponent’s position; at worst, it is paralyzing. Some of Mr. Jackalone’s critics referred to this in branding him “indecisive.” Frequently regarded as less of a Can’t win But it seems fair to say Mr. Jackalone was damned if he did and damned it he didn’t. He was elected, most observers agree, precisely because he was not tough or ruthless, as his predecessor had appeared to be. As for his being a “politician,” he beat an opponent Bob Burrick whose image was that of a politican. In effect, he was elected for certain personal qualities and then criticized for them. Members of his adminsitration were often conscious of this image problem. “It’s not that we don’t get anything done,” one siad. “It’s just that we get yelled at in the process.” Critics mistook a rancorous conflict-filled process for an ineffective process. During the Dandes administration, which many people disenchanted with the Jackalone administration point to as a model of accomplishments, opponents fumed ineffectually, and the Assembly was usually unable to oppose Mr. Dandes. One of the ironies of the Jackalone adminsitration was that in strengthening the Assembly, it created the very forum in which a viable opposition could and did develop. - - Directionless directors Part of the Jackalone administration’s image problem came from the lack of direction in the office of Public Information.

Open to anyone associated with the University Open from 9 located between Lockwood and the Libraries amounting to $32,000. According to Mr. Brooks, Buffalo State trustees may oppose NYPIRG on campus since the focus of most of the projects do not deal solely with student needs. But he pointed out that NYPIRG’s legal standing is very good at Buff State, and that similar problems had been overcome at other member schools in the state. Twelve colleges are involved in the state organization, with students at schools in New Paltz, Framingdale, Oswego and Brooklyn having expressed an interest in becoming a part of NYPIRG. There are PIRG offices in over 30 states nationwide. The idea of P1RG is to make students and other people in general “not helpless.” People who have given their services to the organization feel PIRG is educational, a place where they can have a direct effect on their’s and other’s lives. For example, the State University at Buffalo NYPIRG has investigated sex discrimination, bicycle locks and area pharmacists.

Page five �1 Support the Attica resolution If the Student Assembly is, as it claims, a body concerned about important social and political issues, rather than a diffuse, ill-conceived group whose interests do not extend beyond the petty politics of Norton Hall, it will strongly endorse today's resolution supporting the Attica brothers and calling for the cancellation of classes and exams Wednesday. Student Association (SA) President Michele Smith and Executive Vice President Art Lalonde have already broken away from the apolitical tradition of the last three SA administrations by supporting the proposal. In an open letter that appears on page one of this issue, they acknowledge that Attica is not an isolated incident, but a barometer of the way those who struggle for change are systematically suppressed. "We all have a sneaking suspicion that there is some sort of consistency in the way that certain segments of the population are continually being given the shaft," the letter states. "One thing all of us white middle class pre-med and pre law students have to keep in mind," it concludes, "is who gets it after the Blacks, the Native Americans, Puerto R icans and Chicanosare chewed up? Us?" This last line explains why Attica is so important it affects all of us, whether we want it to or not. Even the most apathetic, convictionless students who would ordinarily consider a political trial remote from their lives cannot hide from the fact that New York State has invested $9 million to justify its mass execution of 42 men.

You can’t cut the lawn these days without being struck by a flying stastistic 25 percent of the fertilizer used in the United States goes to lawns, gardens and golf courses, and the U.S. consumes a quarter of all the precious fertilizer used in the world. Every dollar’s worth of nutrient spread on a Los Angeles pet cemetary means tha the hungry countries will have to import five dollars’ worth of food next year. Or so say the figures of James Grant, president of Overseas Development Council, who should know; but should I then stop enjoying solid foundation and work itself up to a position of greater influence anyway, let alone the irrigation needed to match it? And why don’t the hungry nations control their populations? A feeling of helplessness rose at one point last week as though we had reached a saturation point of problems. Never did gladsome look of Spring so belie the gloom of events. As Spring bounced back wedges of geese honked northward overhead, every bird telling the leader where it should go and how high it should fly. It sounded like Washington.

Rubber-stamping was-what got Richard Nixon into trouble, and it is significant how soon impatient citizens want this practice restored. They are right in - — — - The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. 70 a sense too. It is about the only way to get fast action and modem emergencies demand fast action more and more. The push to let the President lead, to sanctify the office and deify the man, is just as strong beneath the surface now as during Watergate. Save in wartime Congress can’t hurry, it is structurally intended to go slow, to compromise, composed of three bodies that often get in each other’s way; the House that is too big to debate, the Senate where Nevada and Alaska have the same voice as populous California and New York, and the third house, the House of Lobbyists, often as powerful as its two fellows. It takes time to reconcile all three. Congress has purse-string oversight. This is a tremendous power, but oversight takes time and patience and Congress, as it is shoved and bullied along, seems less and less inclined to use it. Congress failed to give appropriate oversight to the FBI and to the CIA, to the Bay of Pigs and to the adventure in Chile, to the Tonkin Gulf fraud and the secret Cambodia bombings. Prospect is that short of constitutional changes, the Presidential office will expand, Congress erode. Coming back to the moral dilemma of fertilizing my lawn I am told in a new book by Michael Rosenzweig of the University of New Mexico And Replenish the Earth, (Harper & Row, paperback) that half of the world’s four billion people are hungry, that the U.S., with less than six percent of the people, eats 35 percent of the world’s food, and that not much can be done about it save cutting back population-expansion (almost 100 million a year). Island-kingdom Japan, he says, from about 1720-1850 kept population steady longer than any other nation in history by the process among farmers thinning out which was a brutally of “Mabiki” realistic euphemism for infanticide. Japanese population at 105 million today may stabilize by the new form of mabiki abortion. China, the mysterious land without statistics, is struck with an ideology that says Communists don’t need birth control, but with perhaps 800 million people (pushing on to a billion) it is applying the toughest social coercion. Women shouldn’t marry till 25, men not till 30, with three years between the recommended first and second child, and all population limiting devices available free, from Mao to the pill. 1 have noted a hardening of attitude recently among writers on world hunger who are caught in the moral dilemma between compassion and arithmetic. Some leaders of have-not countries at the World Population Conference at Bucharest last August, and at the World Food Conference at Rome last November, refused to take any responsibility for their plight. They blamed the alwyas available and already guilt-ridden U.S. But even American abundance can’t keep up with 100 million newcomers a year on earth. Rosenzweigh, who isn’t above an academic quip or two (“the population explosion is everybody’s baby”) is fascinated by China’s experiment. And here is another moral dilemma. Communist China applies social coercion, not to say repression, to control population and its people seem satisfactorily fed. Next biggest country is democratic India, where voluntary population limitation appears to have failed. In India a fourth of those bom die before reaching four years. Seventy-six percent of the 600 million Indians, it is asserted, are malnourished. Population is increasing at the enormous rate of 10 or 15 million a year. The U.S. has just agreed to supply 800,000 more tons of wheat at concessional prices before June, but how long can this last?? — - - Monday, 31 March 1975 Editor-In-Chief — Allowing musical creativity Larry Kraftowitz Managing Editor Amy Dunkin Managing Editor Michael O'Neill Advertising Manager Gerry McKeen — — To the Editor. — Business Menagcr Jay Boyar Randi Schnur Ronnie Selk Backpage Campus . . .

The Spectrum Monday, 31 March 1975 . Sue Wos said that I missed the point of her review of Alvin Lee’s concert in the Jan. 31 issue of The Spectrum. 1 don’t think so. The point I was making was that a performer should have the right to perform the material which he chooses to perform, otherwise he would just turn into a puppet .being controlled by the audience. How many creative puppets do you know? I don’t care about that concert at Kleinhans. I also don’t care if Gentle Giant was any better or not. The only thing that I care about, along these lines, is the right for a performer to grow creatively. If a performer chooses to do material with which the audience is not familiar, or does not like, you can bet he’ll either stop doing it or just fade away into oblivion, but he at least has the right to try. Alvin Lee’s new music may not please anyone, in fact, I may be the only one who likes it, but you’ve got to give him credit for waiting and trying to expand himself as a musician. In her reply to my letter, Ms. Wos stated that Alvin Lee “can’t dictate what the audience should get into.” I couldn’t agree more. Only thing is, he didn’t do that. He just explained what he was into and gave us a chance to either praise it or dislike it. I think that’s pretty fair. These are the reasons that I was so defensive towards Ms. Wos’ review. I also think she is a little confused herself, especially with lines like “Everyone has a right to . . . hopefully hear some favorites,” and “Everyone has a right to expect certain material . following each other. As far as I know, hope and expect have two fairly opposite meanings. In closing, 1 can only hope that Ms. Wos eventually gets her shit together concerning the allowance - of creativity in musicians, because the only way music, will ever last is through this allowance. .

First let me say that 1 don’t believe in some of the tactics used by the JDL. I do believe that Jews have to fight back against rampant anti-semetism (bumper stickers which read, “Bum Jews, not oil,” swastikas on the walls, etc.). Verbal anti-semetism inevitably leads to physical destruction of Jews, which is what Rabbi Kahane and other concerned Jews are afraid of. Mr. Mark says we “need spokesmen who are committed to observance of the law and peaceful protests.” This is the same attitude that lead to the slaugher of 6,000,000 a generation ago and countless millions generations before.

The current Director, Oliver Fultz, came in when it was already too late to alter SA’s image. Relations between the Jackalone adminstration and the press were delicate. The Spectrum endorsed all but one of those who eventually won the election and most editors connected with SA-related news had acquaintances on the Executive Committee. Still, many members of the administration felt they got bad press coverage. Since, as the adminsitration source quoted before said, the Jackalone admisntration got “yelled at,” yelling became news. Under the Dandes adminstration, stories about SA often took the form of reports on Mr. Dandes’ latest fait accompli. Hence, no matter how high-handed certain actions seemed, the story was always about action, about what he had pulled now. openness than last year, some reporters on The Spectrum claim they frequently had to twist the arms of Executive Committee members to find out information it considered routine. Part of the problem of summing up the Press relations Under the Jackalone administration, the stories usually centered on the conflict involved in getting anything done. By their very nature, news stories are rarely analytical, and if someone danced on the table at a budget meeting or started a fight over the speakers program, stories would emphasize such overt action. Statements about how much, or how little, was getting done in the process rarely made the papers. The style of the Jackalone adminstration, more open and therefore open to more conflicts, shaped the style of the news. Despite a greater is that no one is sure what standards are appropriate. By absolute standards of efficiency, wisdom, and justice, all governments fail. Comparison with past administrations NYPIRG calls for ,more efficient energy The New York Public Interest Research Group has called for a new state energy policy that would conserve energy while cutting consumer costs. Speaking last week before the State Assembly Committees on Corporations, Authorities and Committees, NYPIRG of Buffalo spokesman David Lennett called for an end to inefficient energy production. Mr. Lennett cited studies done by the Office of Emergency Preparedness, the Rand Corporation and the Ford Foundation of which indicate that energy consumption could be drastically reduced if waste is eliminated and more efficient means of production are adopted. Transefer of relaince NYPRIG advocates a shift away from traditional fossil and nuclear fuels to less expensive energy forms. “Supposedly exotic forms of energy production such as solar heating and cooling or producing electricity from wind are available,” said Mr. Lennett. To support his remarks, he referred to a report to the New York State Commission on Energy and research reports to various Congressional committes.' Mr. Lennett added that recent proposals made by Athur J. Kremer, (D.—Long Beach) the commission’s chairman, were “good, but not the answer.” Mr. Kremer’s proposals included a ban on new construction of electrical power plants. Mr. Lennett said he supported the Safe Energy Act by introduced Assemblyman Daniel K. Haley (D.-Waddinton), because it constitutes a “beginning at establishing a state policy.” The bill calls for the establishment of a New York State Energy Research and Development Authority to replace the New York State Atomic and Space Development Authority, and spending cuts for nuclear energy plants. the Mr. Lennett blamed Page eight . utilities for their reliance on present energy sources and their insistence that new construction is a solution to the energy shortage. “It’s a familiar cycle, he said. “New construction needs more capital, which needs a high rate of return, which needs money.” He said this sysle was the major reason rates are going up at an “incredible rate” and claimed that the need for costly construction could be eliminated, through the use of alternative and more efficient energy sources. Mr. Lennett said that Public (PSC), Service Commission created to regulate utilities was ineffective because it was hampered by “obivous lack of consumer representation.” Mr. Lennett called for greater legislative control of PSC activities and appointments. He indicated that NYP1RG is drafting a bill that would establish a board of funded a professionals, by check-off from utility bills, to represent consumer interests at the often technical and complex PSC hearings. I accomplishments of a student government administration beg the question. The most logical standard comparison with the best is the alternatives in the realm of political possibility most difficult to apply. Certainly, the Jackalone administration failed to meet absolute standards; just as well in comparison to other certainly it fared administrations. Any statement more definite than that would be hard to justify. - - LAW SCHOOL INTERVIEWS Of Prospective Law Students A Representative of the College ofLaw UNIVERSITY OF SAN FERNANDO VALLEY will be in New York City from April 29 to May 4, 1975.

They’ll be playing at every basket and more of them will be sitting around waiting to play. A few will be jogging or tossing a football around. You’ll see guys everywhere you look. But this university is co-ed. Where are the girls? You might see a few of them, jogging or maybe even playing basketball, but not very many, and not very often. “A lot of girls aren’t interested (ih going to the Bubble),” said freshman Debbie McKenna, “and those that are have a tough time getting a court.” The Bubble’s director, Gary Sailes, had they think to agree. “Men run them out the girls are a pain in the ass, and there’s no way they’re going to give up a court to a girl.” — Embarrassed Some women say they feel embarrassed to play in front of men. “I’d like to play if all the people would disappear from the courts,” stated sophomore Rena Flex. “The girls feel a bit inhibited by the amount of men waiting for courts,” added Recreation Director Bill Monkarsh. Some men have displayed macho attitudes, giving the girls good reason to be inhibited. “Most girls have their place they know basketball isn’t for them,” said freshman Vernon James. “Girls in the Bubble?” remarked freshman Lenny Schindel, “not to play basketball, only to jog.” A lot of the men seem to think that women aren’t serious when they play. “Most men smile at us like they’re watching little kids play,” said Debbie McKenna. Monkarsh and Sailes are trying to attract women to the Bubble, One full court is reserved every night for just women or co-ed activity, but because there are so few women at the Bubble, men usually use this court.

Eventually, Monkarsh hopes to add volleyball, badminton, weightlifting and tennis to the new recreation facility. Only basketball and jogging are available right now. Attitudes are changing and the male users of the Bubble may have to change their attitudes too. “They have to realize that the Bubble has to be used by all the students,” concluded Monkarsh. “The Bubble is for the total use of all the University community.” News anal sis What happened to the by David J Rubin Staff Writer . Spectrum About one month ago, when the Student Association (SA) was mulling over what to do about athletics at this University, a group of athletes organized the Students for the Future of Athletics (SFA). At a time when it appeared that intercollegiate sports was on its way out at Buffalo, SFA lobbying was largely responsible for passing a budget which will maintain varsity sports at their present level for at least one more year. The University community took notice of the athletes during those budget hearings But now that the great debate has subsided, now that the athletic program is ? cause, like the Grangers of the Great Plains? Is SFA organization a service emphasizing Is SFA primarily with the political athletics? concerned advancement of athletics on this campus? These questions have not really been resolved. Last Thursday, SFA met for the first time since spring people Only vacation. ten attended the meeting, compared 50 for the budget related sessions. Two of the four officers not present.

SFA President Jim Young is also looking to inaugurate an “Athletics Week” early next fall that would include lectures, films and demonstrations produced and sponsored by SFA in conjunction with various coaches and athletes. All talk, no action is no question that and SFA have good intentions. Yet their plans are no more than plans. SFA still has not approved a constitution. It has There Young not established formal procedures, and even its specific purpose is still somewhat vague.

Extravagant projects like a $2,500 awards banquet (currently under consideration by SFA) are ludicrous for an organization which has no funds and no direct access to any in the foreseeable future.

Nevertheless, Mr. Kunstler said he believed that changes are taking place. “If we’re in a posture, it is a pre-revolutionary posture,” he surmised, noting that even “suburbanites” are talking about revolution “in one form or another.” on page 6— at Buffalo Friday, 28 March 1975 Attica attorney speaks of justice and the political trials �dreams broken Chippewa’s Taxpayers may be allowed to sue State nightclubs, fine restaurants, and it became the talk of Buffalo. lights, neon the Spectrum Staff Writer Hundreds of Canadians would gather weekly to to restaurant to Joseph by flaunt their greenbacks from bar The street was christened, Chippewa, The “Canadians again. to the bar back and Ellicot4, resident agent of the Holland Land theatre every storefront out of sign that gleamed Company, in 1803.

Even as the battle-fatigued soldiers of Troop G of the Ohio National Guard patrolled the campus early Monday, the same squadron that may or may not have been given an order to fire the fatal shots, the campus seemed to possess an uneasy calm. Classes had resumed, as usual, and there was apparently no move by university or military officials to prevent the mid-morning rally General the Commons. at Cantebury, in fact, was almost convinced that the Guard had overstayed their “welcome” on the Kent- Campus.

However, parents, staff and administration still do not agree on whether the ECC is an adequate alternative to the old because they feel policy decisions are made by academic coordinator Dorothy Farmer and the administration, without parental input. “Policies are arbitrary and are made in consultation with parents, and parents needs are not taken into account,” said Pauline Lipman, a parent. Dr. Earner insists, however, that parents have been encouraged to participate. “Now they are not required to come, but the fact center. that they have not been encouraged to come is in their most difference significant The between the two is that parent own minds,” she said. involvement is not mandatory in the ECC.

A petition which demands rehiring of the dismissed staff, and a letter of recommendation were signed by an overwhelming majority of the old center’s members and were hand-delivered to acting Vice President for Academic Affairs Merton Ertell, Don Larsen, assistant Vice President for Health Sciences, Marcia Sullivan, assistant professor of Child Health, and Dr. Farner. Additionally, a cook, two social workers and a bookkeeper were also going to be fired, but demands by staff and parents insured their jobs, according to the parents. Children have reacted well to the new staff, however. “Children can adjust to new situations, more than parents give them credit for. Parents are restrictive in their views, and think their children react the same way,” a parent explained. ypes meetings were decided by parents who have other jobs ‘‘There are a' lot of during their first conference with uncertainties at this point,” said the staff. parent Joyce Sutephong. “We Only registered students at the don’t know which campus the University may enroll their children at the ECC.

Friday, 28 March 1975 ). 0.-5 �Law School lousy for other reasons To the Editor. I read with interest your article in the March 21st issue regarding the Law School and its decision to reduce the number of students in its future entering classes. Particularly disturbing was the remark that “an increased number of students supposedly left for financial reasons.” Of course, the fact that this might be true is disturbing in itself, but more annoying is the misleading character of the statement. One reading the quote might easily be led to believe that financial problems constitute the major impetus for the attrition at the Law School. As a now-former law student whose financial disposition had little or nothing to do with his quitting law school, I can say that I have talked to many others who feel similarly. I would not venture to say that my short attendance at Buffalo Law School was accomplished with financial ease, but I can truthfully and emphatically assert that more poignant reasons such as 1) the harshness of the teaching system at law school, 2) the apathy of the teachers in helping the students, and 3) the emotional inability to get myself involved in a teaching system that only amplifies and continues the inanities of past education experiences played a much more significant role in ending my and other law students’ legal careers. I realize that my opinion is only one, and those of the others mentioned only a minority, but I have yet to meet more than a handful of law students who enjoy law school, expecially the Socratic system of teaching and learning. Rather than the law school’s excuse of financial difficulty, I would much more readily believe that those who have left, including myself, would gladly have spent the money needed if those involved in the law school teaching and administrative hierarchy would have exercised just a mite of effort to make the students more comfortable. I write this letter only to let those who read the article know that more than pure economics is at stake regarding attrition at the Law School. Jan Abramowitz Former Student at Buffalo Law School frorr here to ther by Garry Wills Recently, two bird stories made the front page of our newspapers. It might have seemed quirky to feature even one of these stories so prominently, and overkill to run them both; but a sound news instinct was involved. The first story told about a rare arctic gull that fluttered way off its beaten track and popped up in Massachusetts. The other was about a bird with wings wider than a jet plane’s, that disappeared many years ago. The first was news because we knew what to expect of the gull and it broke the pattern. The second was news because nothing about it could have been expected the size, the site, the apparent prey of the thing. Each bird, the small gull and the huge pterosaur, was interesting in itself; but even more interesting for the way it disturbed whole patterns of expectation and reality around them. Had some new climatic conditions wafted the gull south? If so, — — what effect would that change have on other life? We have one clue, and now look for others. The pterosaur raises even more basic questions. How does it fold wings so vast? It seems to have had small legs. It would be tipped over by its own wings if it tried to stand. My d aughter said maybe it stood on a mountaintop, and let the wings droop down on either side. Not a dumb comment, after all scientists had felt no creature with such wings, accordioned in to its sides, could flap its way up on a it would have to live in mountain air flat surface currents, like the gliders men build. Yet the pterosaur was found in a flat area of Texas. The thing seems to have had a long bill, for probing deep into prehistoric carcasses; a flesh eating thing, more giant kite than heron. Its mystery is that it belonged to a whole giant order of outsize things disappeared. Big news? Yes, I think; big news. Fresh reminder that nothing exists alone on earth; but only as part — - Religious justice Kahane not a spokesman To the Editor. To the Editor As convenor of the Campus Ministers, as Wesley Foundation Director, as a Christian and as a humanitarian I must add my voice to those who are deploring the actions of a few (hopefully not more than a few) misdirected persons, who show a hatred for Jewish people and for the human race by writing words and slogans reminiscent of one of the sickest periods in history. We of the Wesley Foundation plea for a return to sanity and peaceful solutions. We ask that those people stop writing slogans of hate and violence. We call on all caring and concerned people to help put an end to this abusrdity by reporting any observed writers to the proper authorities. As one part of the religious segment of this community we call for justice. The Spectrum of March 19, 1975 contained an article which described the talk that Rabbi Meir Kahane gave to an audience in the Fillmore Room on March 4. This article explained how Rabbi Kahane devoted a large portion of his comments to the problems facing American Jewry today. The article specifically stated that Rabbi Kahane was concerned with explaining how American Jews can maintain “pride” and “self respect” while avoiding “alienation” and “assimilation.” I want to commend Rabbi Kahane for bringing public attention to the above problems of American Jewry. 1 am not so confident that he can provide the answers to these problems, however. I would like to ask the people who were attracted by Rabbi Kahane’s comments to think about his earlier career. Rabbi Kahane first won national recognition as head of the Jewish Defense League (JDL), an organization which he helped to establish in New York City in 1968. The JDL under Rabbi Kahane’s leadership at first concerned itself with such matters Jewish patrolling as neighborhoods in New York where crime was rampant. In 1969, the JDL decided to concentrate instead on publicizing the plight of Soviet Jewry. The JDL did not confine itself to participation in peaceful public demonstrations in order to do this, however. To the contrary, the JDL committed such acts as heckling the wives of members of the Soviet Union’s Mission to the United Nations while they were shopping. According to an article in Newsweek magazine, the JDL also used violent tactics . . .ranging from scuffles with police to bomb blasts at a Soviet tourist office in New York and at an embassy building in Washington” ( Newsweek Jan. 25, 1971, p.29). The JDL at the same time proceeded to train many of its members in the martial arts and in the use of firearms. Meanwhile, most of the Jewish organizations in the U.S. condemned the JDL. Samuel Dalsimier of of a system, living off it, contributing to it. Interconnected; preying and preyed on, fed and feeding, moved in and moving vast circles of influence. Touch one part of the system, and others are affected; they are startled to unnatural activity, or they die. We Americans “won the West” i.e., changed it, for good and bad. We killed off a whole order of things. We killed buffalo and Indians, and it was easier to kill the latter because we had killed the former. Othello knew he faced death when he said, “Othello’s occupation’s gone.” We killed the Indians’ occupation, their life pattern, their source of life in that act, whether we knew it or not, we were already killing the Indians. Today, with the growth of ecology, conservation, fear for resources, we have a knowledge of life systems that could sound mystical if they were not so thoroughly grounded in science. Yet we destroy whole areas and species with an abandon shown in the West before we had that knowledge. People would give a great deal, now, to see a ptersaur wing over us but its whole support — — — system is gone. Still, we have mythically huge and ancient creatures alive today, surviving along with their vast support system gulping (some of them) a ton and a half of food per day, to support bodies twice as large as any dinosaur’s. These could support themselves but for our decision to kill them off (along with their partially understood life system). I am talking about whales. There are businessmen in Russia and Japan who would make a few last pennies by turning that vast species extinct. Demonstrators who protest this are not fringe groups or faddists and this is not the only point where we must take a stand for life and its interpendencies. In the Bible, God told Job to ponder Creation’s mystery as bodied forth in Leviathan. The modern Job is in danger of saying, “Sorry, Lord, I can’t. They just carted Leviathan off to the cannery.” — — the Bnai Brith’s Anti-Defamation League was quoted as Agape, Rod Saunders Wesley Foundation Director Research grants To the Editor. This letter is to express my appreciation and gratitude to the G.S.A. for helping to fund my dissertation research last'spring and sumnler, and to tell other graduate students about it, especially those who are inclined to think that their projects could not get funded because the system is not really interested in helping them. I got helped, at about the time that I needed help; and in hindsight, with very little work or worry. The big hurdle for me was filling out an and anticipated budget giving certain other specifications of the study, and of course waiting for the decision. I tend to be cynical about official workings, both in terms of inefficiency and favoritism. I had no “in” nor any other advantage so are as I know, there was no assistance whatever from the Sociology Department. I even managed to accidentally make a bad impression on a SGA official when inquiring about the grants, and the award still came through, without much red tape, or bookkeeping afterward.

Dan Schulman Graduate Student Department of Sociology “ , saying: operations “We find the group’s paramilitary and appeals senssationalist an embarrassment and a potential danger” (Time, July 4, 1969, p.22). Elie Wiesel, the famous Jewish novelist, felt moved to repudiate the JDL’s tactics by saying: “I can’t see harassing an old lady in a supermarket or an old man inthe street, no matter what the motives.” (Time, Jan. 25, 1971, p.21) Rabbi Kahane as head of the JDL was actively involved in the formulation of the JDL’s tactics and policies in those years. Rabbi Kahane’s activities led to his arrest on a number of occasions. One of the more prominent occasions on which he was arrested took place in May 1971 when he was arrested by U.S. Treasury Dept, agents on the charge of . . .conspiracy to violate the Gun Control Act of 1968 by transporting weapons into the New York area.” (Time, May 24, 1971, p.21) Has Rabbi Kahane changed his attitudes towards violence and disobedience of the law since 1971? The rhetoric which The Spectrum article reported that he used in his talk here seems to indicate that Rabbi Kahane has not changed his attitudes on these subjects. So does the fact that Rabbi Kahane is now beginning a jail term because he pleaded guilty to the charge that he had become involved with weapons and ammunition in violation of the conditions of his probationary sentence for an earlier conviction. 1 would be happy to hear evidence that would indicate that Rabbi Kahane has changed his views on these subjects, but I do not think it likely that such evidence could be produced. 1 believe, for the reasons that 1 have enumerated above, that Rabbi Kahane is not a suitable spokesman for American Jews. I think the American Jewish people need spokesmen who are committed to observance of the law and to peaceful protests. I want to encourage those of my fellow Jews who share my views concerning Meir Kahane to make your opinions known by writing to The Spectrum. “ Robert Mark Anthro, not philosophy Department.

Whether a man has a good job or no job, they both become equally hungry, “and when their going to die, they both will seize food,” the officer had said. ‘Do I dare ...’ Mr. Kunstler explained that one need this only push philosophy an inch further to understand why the inmates of Attica, faced with living conditions that violated the most basic human values, were “willing to risk what Daniel Berrigan calls the ‘risk of self-jeopardy.’ He said this dilemna commiting oneself to struggle at all costs is reminiscent of the lines “Do 1 dare, Do I dare” from T.S.

A Ifred Prufrock.” After Mr. Kunstler concluded his speech by reading the last six lines of the poem American Names, by Stephan Vincent Benet, Dacajawiah unexpectedly ” - — went up to the podium and the two men embraced. The Native American then spoke briefly, recounting how the joint “struggle” of the last two years had been based on the “true sense of collectivity” of his culture and beliefs. Dacajawiah said his trial was important because “my people must see this to see that somebody will stand for us.” Rather than viewing Attica as one isolated case, he said it was and essential to recognize understand oppression, “what it means to be human and exist: understanding does not mean simply “understanding words and the really beautiful way the paragraphs are rattled off,” he explained. Dacajewiah thanked Everett Burkett, who was in the audience, for coming forth as a defense witness at the last minute, and urged the crowd to go to court next week to show support for him and co-defendant Charlie Joe Pernascilice. ... " ... Double madness On the eve of the first verdict, no groundswell of support for the Attica Brothers has made itself visible. Despite numerous possible sources of support in Erie County, no resistance of sufficient size has surfaced, resistance which could stave off the double madness of correcting one atrocity with another, something this country has practiced in the past. But at the University, classromm attendance seems to be soaring, with seats going on a first come, first serve basis. So the trials go on in the conspicuous absence of the dozens of supporters whose continuous large turnout would serve notice on the prosecution and state that the two defendants are, above all, fully sentient human beings.

The other morning, for example, at precisely 10 a.m., a handful of attorneys, the judge and twelve jurors filed into the empty courtroom, just as they had done every day for the past five weeks. Except for an hour for lunch and one or two recesses, the lawyers went "through their sundry motions examining witnesses, objecting to improper questions, dictating Grand Jury testimony into the Court record, and so on. It was all done so routinely, so matter-qf-factly, so privately that one may have never known thijE the two defendants were on trial for the 43 who died at Attica, hundreds of political prisoners across the country, and theft own lives as well.

Judge King ruled last week that Mr. Rockefeller’s testimony was not relevant since he had never during Attica the visited September, 1971 rebellion. Mr. Rockefeller ordered state police to retake Attica prison, which resulted in the deaths of 39 Mr. and hostages.

Beautifully directed and photographed, flawlessly acted by Beatty and co-stars Julie Christie, Goldie Hawn, Lee Grant and Jack Warden, Shampoo is intelligent, satisfying and very, very funny.

He has taken a major symbol of feminity and turned it into a badge of his own virility, and it is this paradoxical double power which makes his so unbelievably (and often almost helplessly) irresistible to every one of his clients.

And furthermore; "Maybe I don't love 'em . . . but nobody's gonna tell me I don't like 'em very much." Shortly before this revelation, Jill had happily told her best friend Jackie (Julie Christie), "You know what George did the other night? He woke me up at two o'clock just to do my hair!" She had obviously missed the point entirely. Shampoo, directed by . - parlay a beautiful body and an eminently practical mind into a controlling interest in multi-millionaire Lester Carr.

I'm losing all my concepts"), she conquers the little doubts that keep sneaking up behind her by drowning them in alcohol. While Lester and his wife Felicia (played with a fascinating combination of gutlessness and bitchiness by Lee Grant) try to relieve the frustrations Jack of their decaying bodies and degenerating society by gradually destroying each other, only Jill (Goldie Hawn) finally proves capable of doing something about all of this. It is virtually impossible (even for George) to think of Hawn as anything other than the perpetual ingenue, but it is precisely her naive trust and outrage at its violation that allow her to float just above the helpless hedonism which swamps everyone else. Jill is fresh and cute, just like Hawn always has been.

Russian culture and life discussed here In an effort to demonstrate the various Russian contributions to world culture, the Department of Germanic and Slavic sponsored a four-part Russian Symposium last week featuring a lecture by Professor Serge Zenkovsky of Vanderbilt University, the music of Igor Stravinsky, and performance and lecture on "Stanislavsky and the American Burden." The last section, presented March 20, consisted of four lectures presented by professors counties. The second lecture, presented by Dr. Albert Cook, dealt with "The Spirit of Russian Poetry." He distributed four translated Russian poems to the audience and played a record of the poems spoken in Russian. While discussing the poetry, he pointed out that many Russian poems strive towards understatement and simplicity, a fact many translators overlook, even though the understatement is the very essence of the poem. He added that there is something "deeper and more sorrowful" in Russian poetry, due from the University. Each one excited a good deal of interest in areas that are quite often possibly to the culture and history overlooked because of the of the people. "Diaghilev's Ballet Russe and differences in culture and spirit and Collaborators" was the topic of between the American Russian peoples.

The music committee is the largest single committee on the Union Activities Board. Although UUAB is responsible for all entertainment activities on campus, and is the only division of Sub-Board which consistently pays back the fees invested, only 9.6 percent of your $67 goes to its funding (as opposed to, say, 12.5 percent going to men's sports). Still, the budget is only the beginning of a'long list of limitations and hassles the music committee has to deal with. One of its major problems, surprisingly enough, is student ignorance and apathy, and that, readers, is the purpose of this article. The contents of this piece are the result of an interview with Robbie Schiedlinger, president of the committee, and Larry Barton, chief navigator, both of whom sincerely want the student public to be aware of, and understand, just how the music committee functions and the problems involved. No elitism One of the most popular misconceptions concerns UUAB's choice of talent. Contrary to rumor, the members of the committee do not simply get together, decide who they want to see, and then bring those groups in. Actually, Robbie was emphatic in pointing out that the committee is here to serve the student population. Surveys are taken and responded to (perhaps you've filled one out yourself). The committee tries to provide groups to serve the widest range of student musical desires. One look at this year's concerts makes that obvious. For popular tastes, there Were groups like the New Riders (country rock), Dave Mason and Robin Trower (more commercial electricity), and the Kinks (the British rock and rollers who brought a new meaning to the word theatrics). Two of these concerts, by the way, were presented at a financial loss; the third made a slight profit. At the same time, the committee was sensitive to new, emerging talent from both the States and Hall and Oates) and abroad (Frampton's Camel). For those with more esoteric leanings, the virtuoso Leo Kottke was presented, and for the renewed interest in jazz (revealed in the surveys), the historic meeting of Chick Corea and Keith Jarrett, as well as the McCoy Tyner show, was (Orleans served up. Gym a nightmare There are many gripes concerning (JUAB concerts, and Mr. Schiedlinger explained some of the myriad problems that cause things to go awry. One basic hassle is the lack of good facilities. Of the concert halls in town, the Century now has very limited accessibility, and the Aud is too big a risk (the cost of putting one concert on there could mean blowing a whole year's budget if it wasn't a success). Kleinhans can only be used in conjunction with Festival East, which means higher costs all around. That leaves the Fillmore Room and Clark Gym. The small size of these rooms imposes a serious financial limitation; groups out of a certain price bracket become unfeasible. Furthermore, Clark Gym, with its high ceilings and hard walls and floors, is an acoustician's nightmare; the Fillmore Room is only slightly better. Although the sound systems have improved over the past year and a half (due to the switch from KRC to Brighton Sound), even a million dollars worth of equipment couldn't improve the rooms' intrinsically awful acoustics. Besides the facilities, Mr. Schiedlinger also pointed out that the University's location in a big city (as opposed to the isolation of places like Harpur and Stony Brook) puts the music committee at yet another disadvantage: it is one of the few college music services in direct competition with local professional promoters. In the first place, talent agencies tend to be wary of student music committees, with their constant turnover in personnel. Because local promoters are in the business to make money, and because they have been around longer, they have longer standing and superior contacts with the agencies, and sometimes UUAB loses out. The story of the Average White Band is a case in point. Scotch on the rocks In late November (months before "Pick Up The Pieces" skyrocketed on the charts), UUAB had already booked AWB to appear with Orleans on Jan 24. The contracts were sent, and everything appeared to be going smoothly. Then the single came out. Three weeks before the concert was scheduled to go on, Mr. Schiedlinger was notified that the Scottish band would have to cancel, due to difficulties in getting working papers. (Upon checking, Mr. Schiedlinger found no record of the band's even applying for immigration papers.) On March 4, AWB appeared in Kleinhans, presented by Festival East, for a much higher fee. Mr. Schiedlinger explained: "Without making accusations, it becomes clear that something other than straight business dealings had come into play regarding who was going to promote the Average White Band. Festival East has had a long standing relationship with the agency that represents AWB When it became economically advantageous to play on that relationship, Festival East did so." Schiedlinger said it was to be expected: after all, music is a business. He said the difference lies in the fact that Festival East is in it to make money, while UUAB's main purpose is to present entertainment for the students. 'I'm only goin' to Dayton . .' Up until now, I have just been explaining some general problems. The amount of little details that go into presenting any One show, dealing with thousands of dollars and thousands of people, are more numerous and sometimes more ludicrous than you can imagine: from airplanes shipping equipment to Baltimore on the day of the show, to dealing with egocentric stars, to the donation of a bad piano, to controlling a dangerously long line in the Union, to fighting with a bunch of Macedonian folk dancers well, maybe I'll go into greater detail on all that at some later date. At any rate, after going through enough hassles big and small to drive any normal person insane, the most upsetting aspect of the whole thing for Mr Schiedlinger is that when he finally presents the . - show, UUAB can't even count on the students to support it. Attendance records show that most shows are attended by 50 percent non-students. As most of you should know by now, UUAB concerts are always cheap (from $2 to $4), presented in a hassle-free atmosphere (i.e., no goons for ushers), and have an excellent rack record for picking fresh, interesting new talent a few years before they're big enough or commercial enough to play the Aud. And in rooms the size of Clark and Fillmore, with this kind of talent and ticket price, there really is no reason why every concert shouldn't sell out. But they don't. Up to you The recent Student Association (SA) referendum proved that student interest in entertainment activities is higher than ever before. Students count on UUAB for films, art, the coffeehouse, concerts and more. Vet, with this surge in interest apparent, SA is considering cutting UUAB's budget. At a time when costs are skyrocketing anyway, it is up to the students to Overcrowding support their own interests. For those of you who dislike the added We all know the days of the Fillmore East are discomfort of being crowded together on the floor, over. Still, with your support, th,e music committee consider this: putting chairs in the gym would cut can bring more and better talent. And who knows? the already too small available floor spae in half. You might even begin to rediscover that old UUAB being a non-profit organization, usually excitement that comes from hearing a great new taking a loss, it simply can't afford it. Even worse, group for the first time.

If it says presented by UUAB, rooms, even when they have booked them months in even if you've never heard of the group, take a advance. Finally, although no one really understands chance. It'll probably be a night of superior music. Prodigal Sun �Magic Lantern John Cassavetes' 'Influence/ for film buffs only a tight "Fttttttt!"

As a character, Nick is more out by Jay Boyar On this campus, full, as it is, of freaks, nuts, goers, makers, fanciers, experts and to a lesser extent those people with a more "selectively broad" interest in the movies, on this campus a few weeks back there was a John Cassavetes film festival.

Certainly a clinker like A Child Is Waiting could not have mattered much to anyone unless they happened to be writing a masters' Trouble on John Cassavetes which, come to think of it, just about every other buff, freak, nut, etc. seems to be doing or planning to do these days. Clinker though it is, A Child Is Waiting had one intriguing scene. Smack in the middle of that film most of which is destroyed by a ponderous obviousness and that "movie mood music" which lets you know exactly how you should feel at any given moment is a scene set in an actual institution for hopelessly retarded adults. It's an odd, stark, disturbingly real scene which seems even more peculiar, in fact, since it's surrounded by such tliesis — Despite all of this, there's a real problem with the movie. Often, a film is criticized for being unambitious. A lot of dumb, cheap trash (somehow the film The Graduate comes instantly to mind) are bad because what they try to do is so minimal that no — matter how fully they accomplish it, it doesn't add up to much.

It's is, really, interesting, but is it what we want not if most recent film, A Woman Under the Influence is to expand the tension and realism of that scene for the length of an entire movie. In Influence, a woman grapples with insanity on screen for almost three hours, and (after the first ten minutes) there is no let-up in the pressure created. The camera places us in each scene often we feel we're standing in the room with the characters and sometimes as if we actually are the characters and since what they're going through is such a strain for them, it becomes our strain as well. Influence goes beyond empathy. The tension is not that of a Hitchcock thriller, whose plots are intricate little machines. It's closer, in Influence, to the tension of life. Full of the inconsistencies and casual red herrings of actual experience, the story remains so simple as to almost disarm difficult he can't be And when we go to see a movie?

It's Longhetti (Gena about Mabel a Rowlands), middle class housewife who goes mad, and the effect this has on her husband Nick (Peter Falk), her children, and the rest of her friends and family. Gena Rowlands Rowlands as Mabel never lets us rest as she acquires a series of personality tics which at first seem to be a result of excessive drinking, but are later revealed to be the manifestations of insanity Rowlands goes wild in the role she never stops. She's like a straight, serious Carol Burnett in her concentration, energy and talent. (This has its bad side, too. Rowlands, like Burnett, sometimes comes on too strong.) Rowlands generally seems so real that you could imagine people thinking, "She’s worked with Cassavetes for so long that what's happening on film may not be entirely fiction. I think Gena Rowlands may really be having a breakdown and Cassavetes is just capturing it on film." That's going a bit too far. Still, Rowlands is very convincing with her beaming, off-the-wall comments, her glazed gaze and a nervous thumb-gesture accompanied by her voice spitting — Strawbs and Entwislean Ox V.'e worked our way down to the seedy depths of Main Street the other Sunday night. I kept on telling Mark that the set up of this concert was all wrong, while he kept on insisting that it couldn't be done any other way. The apparent headliner of the bill was John Entwisle and his band. Ox. However, the out of place starting group was the Strawbs, a band with a strong following and a proven history of good music. It seemed all wrong to me. Yeah, we would get to hear two very good groups, but they would contradict complement Prodigal Sun rather than each other. The premise was absurd. A Strawbs crowd wasn't going to appreciate Entwisle, and when you're this close to Canada, the crowd is coming because the Strawbs are playing. Mark tried to approach it with an open mind. He had two bands to look forward to, regardless of their order. Not everyone was entering the Century with such broad taste. Tapestretic beauty The Strawbs came out late due to the slow-to-assemble crowd. They shuffled on stage in understated indifference, approrpiate to their placement for the evening. But with the first note, they soared away from mediocrity with a continual display of vivid, colorful music. Dave Lambert's expertly controlled guitar built a firm foundation for the haunting, weaving intricacies of David Cousins' vocals and acoustic guitar. The Strawbs' material drew heavily' from their two latest albums, the ones that were produced by the current personnel. The unity of the Hero and Heroine album was maintained by presenting those songs within —continued on page 12— Friday, 28 March 1975 The Spectrum . Page nine . �\ Seals and Crofts put on routine show at Falls by Marcia Kaplan Spectrum Staff Writer Seals and Dash Qrofts played at the Niagara Falls Convention Center Friday night. It was a nice concert. Nice, pleasant, innocuous, technically sufficient and thoroughly unexciting. And I might add I wasn't the least bit surprised. The Center resembles the insides of a caterpillar in heat when packed for a concert. Definitely not a place for agoraphobics. Seals and Crofts drew a crowd of about 8,000, many of them high school kids who alternated between screaming and pounding their feet (so hard that the stands shook at times), or sitting back restlessly whimpering to each other and waiting for the music to pick up. It did, and it didn't. As long as Seals and Crofts were singing you could almost manage to get caught in some of their harmonies. But during the long instrumentals (which these days tend away from any display of virtuosity and towards a jazzed up pop sound), the collective tolerance level ran low. Even from those people who were there to hear what Seals and Crofts came to play. Jimmy No more roses I didn't really expect to hear much of their old stuff from the days when they were a lot closer to folk music with an odd Oriental twist that made you feel you were going to step out into a new realm of consciousness and understanding, jasmine-scented and strewn with rose petals. I'm not talking about "Summer Breeze" and "Hummingbird" either. I mean their old, old suff, back to "Sea of Consciousness." I suppose I should just be grateful to have been spared "Unborn Child," their musical anti-abortion position paper which is overstated enough absurd and infuriating. What did they play then, I hear you ask? Mostly stuff off their new album. I'll Play For You. Also a whole slew of hits: to sound both "Hummingbird," "We May Never Pass This Way Again," "Diamond Girl," "Summer Breeze," and the song dedicated to their wives, whose It took a lot of innovation to put names escape me at the moment the concert together (sic). Actually the concert did get moving for the finale, what Dash Crofts calls "hand clapping, foot stomping, hog calling music." They've been ending all their concerts for the past few years with country music, Jimmy Seals playing an incredible fiddle. Dash Crofts on electric mandolin. Watching Crofts run around stage while he plays country is like watching Kenny Loggins' alter ego. ... playing noses . The only other time they got away from their over-arranged top 40 hits was to play "a little rock and roll" midway through the concert. Crofts displayed his ability on, surprisingly enough, the drums, and Seals got to play his nose. Yes, you read correctly. He's about as nimble at that instrument as at guitar, harmonica and fiddle. I'm not being facetious either. Actually, it's a "bit" they could drop without much protest from this listener. What they might add in its place is some of the old spirit and integrity their music used to have when they were still into playing music rather than rock 'n roll muzak. What makes it all so frustrating is that they're really dynamite musicians. And when they started out they were two of the most creative as well. . .. . . saccharine doses One thing distinctly lacking during the concert was any feeling of their Ba'hai faith. Sure, they held the usual rap session after the concert for all who wanted to stay (I couldn't; the bus back to campus was leaving and I wasn't taking any chances on having to hitch back to Buffalo at midnight). At concerts they gave several years ago, there was a certain feeling that came through in their music: that there was something special in the world and they had found the way to it. It was really rathe; moving. Now they're no different from any other duo with a "sound" all their own who've made it. I don't think it's going too far to see a direct correlation between their popularity in the pop field and their toning down of what was once such a strong religious feeling in thrir music. The purity of one and the banality of the other just don't mix well. It's just not what the media's after. and Walter Heath I should mention Walter Heath, the performer who opened for Seals and Crofts Friday night. He's a polished entertainer with a rich, cultivated voice and style which reminds me of a cross between Robert Goulet, James Brown and the Jackson Five. He lopks up to Stevie Wonder (he sang a pretty maudlin tribute to him), but he's definitely this side of bubblegum. He sounds like he's going places, though. He's been opening for Seals and Crofts for a year, and has been billed with such performers as Gladys Knight and the Pips and Helen Reddy. I keep thinking back to all those 16-year-olds at the concert There were a lot of adolescent expectations in attendance Friday night and I wonder if they've been able to sort out how they felt about the concert. I know it's taken me all weekend. Thinking it all over, all I can come up with is, what a waste of talent. But, like I said when I started out, I wasn't at all surprised.

It was typical of his dry wit and inventiveness: ruching lyricism, sudden disjointedness and non sequitur, tendus in the middle of nothing. The floor pattern tracing the initials L VB was still visible. The final piece before intermission was "Countdown" by Rudy Perez, one of his slow motion tour de forces which seemed ideally suited to Ms. Cohen's talents. To the songs of the Auvergne, she stood in one place and smoked a cigarette, moved her head, swooped and extended one arm, the exact changing of the head or elbows stood up exposing a whole world in process.

Her early training was in Tel Aviv with a woman interested in many of the arts besides dance. Her strictly formal training began at a rather late age when she entered the Julliard School in 1965. As a result, she seems to be interested in the bodily and spiritual source of movement, and it was this authenticity that commanded her performance. As a dancer she is concerned with control, with keeping the center there. One almost wants an abandon at times to ease the concentration, more flung legs and sweep. Ms. Cohen doesn't depend on virtuosity or a masterful technique; instead, she fully utilizes gesture: face, arms and hands. Consequently her statements seemed individualized and personally Hendrix and the United States of America. It ended with a film image of Winnie the Pooh floating off with a balloon towards Andromeda. This dance seemed to be attempting the most of all the pieces but in doing so it wasn't subtle enough, its images long abandoned by the culture it celebrates. It didn't appeal too much to me, though it might have five years ago. The Cornell Theatre acquited itself well in its supporting role, although some of us were worried. The stage was a little glary, but the overhanging balconies and recessed stage behind the dance space were not as distracting as expected. The Office of Cultural Affairs rented curtains to block out the slanting overhead windows and only a few patrons complained about the absence of chairs. The next dance event in the Cornell will be the Physical Education Department Dance Repertory in mid-April. Friday, 28 March 1975 .

Well, let me put it on and see how it sounds. Powll! Oh My Lord! 11 It is almost the Moody Blues themselves (well, Moodies a la Seventh Sojourn, anyway). These two upstarts, along with the production wisdom of Tony Clarke (who produced the other Moody Blues albums) and the lush orchestra of Peter Knight ("Knights in White Satin"), have adequately resurrected that "mood" that us Moodies have craved for so long.

Here's something to get those brain cells moving. Just sit back and try your ingenuity at this multiple guessing game. 1. Who wrote "Black Magic Woman?" a. Peter Green b. Carlos Santana c.

Santana split up b. a chemistry professor got a pie thrown in his face c. Susie Homemaker's been baking magic brownies again If you answered "a" to all the above, you're definitely on your toes (musically at least). What all this perforated jargon simply means is that what once was, is no longer. Santana has split up into THE NEW Santana and a group called Journey. Gregg Rolie, keyboard player, and Neal Schon, lead guitarist, have emancipated their souls to follow the song of the Succulus. Soaring to new heights, their first LP as a group is definitely unique. Aynsley Dunbar (drums), George Tickner (rhythm guitar), and Ross Valory (bass and piano) have also added their talents, making this a decent album. Usually when old members of a group split to form their own group, the influences remain. Certainly Journey is no exception. The music is melodic: it's gentle and unearthly, like Santana. However, a new dimension has been added, making the album deeply moving and intimate. The lyrics are uniquely personal, yet universal. They give an outstanding insight into the longing and aspirations of each individual and also the entire generation. So let the sun shine , It's just begun You've given all you could to anyone Well don't you lose it Don't run away It's getting stronger, day after day. And while the music is of a complex texture, it throbs from sheer energy with each piercing note of pain. Now don't get the impression that this LP will make you crash. Far from it. You'll get deeply involved in the swaying stylus and small contusions on that disc; guaranteed for a rush. And even though three cuts are instrumentals with room for development, they do have a charm of their own. It all adds up to a pretty nice album. So I'll make this curt but concise. , , come with us and try and learn What's on your mind Open your ear and eyes and let's see what you can find.

What I haven't decided yet is whether Seals and Crofts are just totally commercially oriented (i.e., in it just for the money), or whether they're really as naive as the audience they're writing for. One of the few (two) songs in which their faith comes into the album at all is an almost-charming tale of a rabbit found frozen to death and the lesson . . purity and originality of their of "See My Life" and "Sea of Consciousness." Their first album, on which these songs appear, burst with a lightness and a spntaneity nowhere to be found on I'll Play For You. It has popular-jazzy to death by been smothered overarrangement. Gone is the soft and lilting melodiousness, both instrumental and vocal, which made "Antoinette" on Year of Sunday so haunting. It is this same quality which runs through "Hummingbird" and even "Diamond Girl," although the progression is clearly away from folk-like simplicity, and towards the more popular, lavishly produced arrangements, Gone is the earliest music, rock 'n roll I'll Play For You don't sound characteristically Seals and Crofts. It is that the uniqueness of their music has evolved into their "sound" in the AM-Radio-DJ sense of the word. Seals and Crofts' harmonies are still lovely, their timing perfect. But as far as creative potential is concerned, they seem to have run their course. Just listen to any album they've put out from Summer Breeze up to this latest disappointment. Then listen to their first albums, ending with Year of Sunday. The difference is readily apparent. It's really sad, because they are fine musicians, something which comes across in spite of the plastic (vinyl?) sound. Jimmy Seals performs admirably on guitar, banjo, fiddle, saxophone and harmonica. Dash Crofts is responsible for the electric and acoustic mandolin and mandola, one of the unique components of their sound. He is also quite adept on drums. But for all this talent, the material just doesn't make it. The songs on I'll Play For You are the best The musical proclivity and in bubblegum. proficiency which produced it are apparent in each song, but each stands equally as an equivocation to pop music culture. Conspicuous by their absence on this album are the once abundant references to Baha'Huh and the Ba'hai teachings. The more predominant theme by far is love in its sappiest, most saccharine mode. In "Fire and Vengeane," a song which "moves and grooves" to a regularly patterned dance beat, underscored by a monotonous boppy beat. Which is not to say that the songs on it teaches of God's beneficence and wisdom. I did say almost-charming. It would have made a poignant parable, but the child like yet highly pedantic posture of the lyrics just doesn't work. He was frozen as solid as he could be A nd Dad cried as he knelt beside him. And he asked God how could you be so cruel And his heart broke for the little white rabbit But you see that the owl would never have been so gentle And God is so kind. The only other song which bears any mention of the Ba'hai faith is "Blue Bonnet Nation." If you aren't convinced yet that Seals and Crofts are to be less than admired for their musical endeavors these days, then listen to this song. Way down yonder in the blue bonnet nation People been a-waiting just to hear His sweet Name Way down yonder where there's desolation People irresistably drawn to His Flame Hungry for the life, I'm so hungry for the life know that it exists, for to my Ups have kissed The feet of the century of his being. . . accompanied by flowing vocals in Seals and All fine and good and in keeping with the usual Crofts-harmony (and chosen here as example metaphors, but closely followed by the following because it's so typical of their present "smooth" chorus, which is, mind you, sung shrilly and style), the lyrics run: theatrically, complete with prolonged "ohs" to a Love steady rock 'n roll beat. Oh how I love to see dayligh t Let me tell you 'bout love, when you got love In the Texas sky up above (yes, / do) (2x) Everybody loves one another It is precisely juxtapositions like this that make And everything is all right Today's a day for planning one wonder whether there is anything else need be said. In the case of Seals and Crofts-it seems not A day for you and me The changes of tomorrow while they may sing and smile, along with their barely adolescent audience, all the way to the bank, Will surely set us free they have compromised their musical integrity. It's a To love, to, to. to, love. Now, really?

International demonstrations and strikes took place in France, Germany, the Soviet Union, out slaughter of other working men and women in other countries, so they left the country for the duration. They returned and became active in the defense of the foreign-born when arrests and deportations were launched in 1920. As with black people then and now, the foreign-born were denied opportunities and scorned for being unskilled. Forced to live in dark, dilapidated tenements, they were accused of lacking neatness and Argentina, Norway, Poland, Canada and elsewhere, demanding that the death sentence be rescinded. But the Massachusetts Supreme Court turned down the appeals and sentenced the men to die on August 23, 1927. Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were murdered.

The magic of this novel and the ones that followed it attracted such an enthusiastic audience, it is no wonder that when Hesse's first major work is printed in paperback, the author's name on the cover dwarfs the title. Peter Camemind is the story of a young man growing up in a small, remote hamlet in the Swiss countryside, surrounded by nature in its most beautiful, undistrubed state. A monk at a nearby monastery recognizes in Peter the potential of an outstanding writer, and Peter is offered a scholarship to attend school in a distant town, which he accepts. Though at first excited by the novelty of a formal education, Peter eventually tires of it, unable to comprehend the meaning or value of his lessons. It is not until he is introduced to classic literature that his interest is aroused and he develops a true zeal for learning. Enthralled by the works of the masters, Peter begins writing poems and stories on his own, eventually succeeding in getting some of them published. Now able to earn his own living, he leaves the university and sets out in search of inspiration for his writing. Driven on by his restlessness, Peter journeys through parts of Italy and Switzerland in search of truth and beauty. His rural upbringing has left him with a deep love and respect for the natural beauty that surrounds him, and he feels the presence of unfamiliar mountains and countryside beckoning him ever onward. During the course of his travels, Peter forms one very strong friendship, falls in love three times, anchthrough his relationships with others, succeeds in enriching their lives and his own. He finally realizes that he is living the life of a fish out of water, and a powerful longing to return home leads his spirit to inner peace. Hesse has written a simple, beautiful novel that communicates his message of love for all living things. He claims that love can make us immune to all worldly ills, and by consideripg even sorrow and death as brothers and sisters, we will not fear or dread them when they appear. He means to show Peter’s restlessness as a typical example of the nervous, unfulfilled nature we all possess and will continue to possess until we too can learn the message of love, and set ourselves at peace with the world -Cary Trestyn Visual arts In Norton Hall's Gallery 219, Charlie Clough is exhibiting a show entitled Realizing Fantasy/Fantasizing Reality, running from now until April 8.

As the film opens, the authorities are about to ransack the tenements of the foreign-born in the infamous Palmer-Hoover raids. Thousands were rounded up, and deported in the wake of the hysterical "Red Scare." In the photographs of crowds taken that night, a familiar face was seen in one of them. It was the face of Bartolomeo Vanzetti, a poor fish peddler, who had been hounded out of one job after another for his participation in attempts to organize workers to factory resist the horrible conditions prevalent in American industry. Frame up Within a few days, Vanzetti and his fiend, Nicola Sacco, a skilled shoemaker, were picked up for questioning. Pistols were found on the men and they were detained. When a call came into the police station about a murder and robbery at a shoe factory in South Braintree, Massachusetts, the authorities realized that they victims. had two hand-picked Sacco and Vanzetti were charged with murder and robbery. From 1901-1920, over 14 million immigrants came into the United States. Expecting to find the "land of milk and honey," most found only a land of poverty and misery. Sacco and Vanzetti arrived in 1908, but neither knew the other until 1916. Vanzetti went hungry for days as he hunted for a job, finally getting one as a dishwasher in a hot, dirty kitchen. He worked later as a miner, steelworker and railroad worker, and particpated in the workers’ struggles to better their bleak lives.

Trial Because of this activity, Sacco and Vanzetti's names were placed on Justice Department lists. After being picked up for questioning, they were charged with the murder and robbery at South Braintree. The trial began in 1921, in a climate of controversy and anti-communist hysteria. One government witness after another testified to seeing the accused, Sacco and Vanzetti, rob the South Braintree factory. It was revealed that one of these witnesses could not see more than 20 feet in front of him when asked by the defense attorney to identify an object inside the courtroom. Other witnesses were later found to have perjured themselves on the stand out of fear and intimidation. Sacco and Vanzetti were convicted and sentenced to die in the electric chair. Millions of previously uncommitted people were shocked. While many people may not have had any opinion about their guilt or sentence of death to action. innocence, the now urged them were propelled onto the center stage of history, to take their place among the world's labor heroes and martyrs, while the judge, jury and state officials have long been forgotten.

Who arc “they”? Profits. The money earned over and above the expenses of operating our American business and industry. If industry were not profitable, not only would companies soon go out of business —with dire consequences to employes and stockholders —but a great variety of social and humanitarian activities would simply go by WVERTISEUEVT ADVERTISEMENT the board. It is a corporation's continued profitability that allows it to regularly put money into, say, public TV or the local symphony, and at the same time create new technology and new jobs. Profits are not, as some people seem to think, clutched in the hands of a few cigar-smoking tycoons. There are 30 million stockholders in this country who count on them; 53.5 million workers whose retirement funds, invested in stocks and bonds, depend on them; 365 million life-insurance policies in force in the United Sta’cs that depend to a great degree on dividends that profits produce. Profits are far more, of course. They are one of man’s primary incentives. Long after factories have been built and payrolls and fringe benefits paid, profits keep lights burning in offices, in laboratories, in men’s minds, spurring the almost indefinable mix of new products and ideas called progress. Paper shufflers and chart devisers in a centralized economic bureaucracy do not invent automatic transmissions, fresh-frozen foods, kidney machines, doubleknit fabrics or wonder drugs. Men in the market-place do. Stimulated by the prospect of profit, they find harder steel, brighter color television, sharper razor blades, quieter air conditioners. When millions wanted electric hair-stylcr dryers, tremendous amounts of money, planning and machinery Page fourteen . had to be channeled to that demand by companies a profit. When the dryers started rolling out, who benefited 3 The companies —sure. But the big beneficiaries were the consumers, first, because their demands were satisfied and. second, business competition quickly drove prices down. Yet, while profits are so intimately tied to the lives of all of us, the public concept of them is so distorted as to be hardly a concept at all. For example, polls indicate that the majority of Americans believe business clears about 28 cents profit on every dollar it earns. The fact is, after taxes the average U.S. company now makes a little less than a nickel profit on each sales meet seeking dollar. Certainly, in some industries the average is higher, but not very much. Mining companies, office-equipment and computer firms average between nine and ten cents on the dollar. Lumber products make around seven. Oil production and refining produce about eight. But in many industries the profit margin is much lower. Ironically, many of the lowest profit margins arc in businesses that many people assume to be making “unconscionable profits” at the consumer’s expense. Supermarkets, for instance, clear a little less than a penny on each sales dollar. In the retail-sales industry, the average profit per sales dollar is around two picture. Hut somehow we Americans remain peculiarly unconvinced. We buy a house for $28,000, sell it for $40,000, then the next day condemn someone elsc’s “pursuit of profit.” We blithely forget the realities of economics and competition. Let’s look at the profit picture on a common product —a woman’s MANUFACTURER’S COST AND PROFIT Fabrics and accessories $ 8.11 Design and factory operations 4.91 Production wages and benefits 6.86 Administrative and sales salaries 3.97 98 Taxes Profit from sales to retailer 92 Wholesale price to retailer $25.75 RETAILER’S COST AND PROFIT $25.75 Dress from manufacturer Advertising, sale markdowns, freight 5.55 6.20 Store operations 9.10 Payroll Taxes 2.10 Profit from sales to customer'. 1.30 Selling price to customer ..$50.00 dress that sells in department stores for $50. A woman examining it might conclude she could make the same dress for quite a bit less than that amount. Provided she could get the pattern (one of hundreds submitted by the manufacturers’ designers), she could indeed save money. But this dress is on the rack because the majority of women have neither the time nor the inclination to make their own. Why docs it cost 150 ? The box in the previous column gives a breakdown of costs. And it shows that a $25.75 dress that provided jobs and made a profit for people in the garment industry ends up fulfilling a consumer desire, providing livelihood for a department store’s employes, putting tax money in the public treasury and profiting the store’s owners. In the process, it becomes a $50 dress. As for that $1.30 retail profit —well, you the consumer arc the reason why it is that low. For to raise the profit margin the businessman would have to risk losing your patronage. You in the end make the decision. That’s what competition is all about.

It may have been only to discuss the situation at the moment, but the possibility of a pre-meditated attack cannot be so easily dismissed. As Troop G headed up the hill, towards the Pagoda on the west corner of Taylor Hall, some soldiers kept peering back at the students on the parking lot.

Rubin Staff Writer Spectrum There’s a new sports magazine on the Buffalo newsstands that combines the format and topicality of Sport with the provinciality of the old Buffalo New Times. It’s called Buffalo Fan. The Fan, which comes out every two months, is the brainchild of publisher Jeffrey Hoffman, a junior executive with the Hoffman Printing Company of Buffalo. “It was named after and dedicated to those men and women who buy the tickets, sit in the rain, and brave the winter snowstorms for they are the lifeblood of sports,” he wrote in the inaugural issue last January. The idea for the Fan originated as a way to utilize one of the presses at Hoffman Printing. Although that particular machine printed very efficiently, it was idle because of the reduced demand for its style of printing. The Fan, besides keeping Buffalo sports enthusiasts up to date, makes Hoffman Printing more profitable. More than money However, the Fan is more than a business venture. There is nothing like it anywhere in Buffalo. “In national magazines, you might not see a story about Buffalo teams for three months at a time, even though we have three of the biggest names in pro sports right here,” Mr. Hoffman said. Newspapers, on the other hand, are primarily concerned with coverage of each sporting event on an individual basis. “Since we won’t be concerned with the day-to-day coverage and box scores, we may have a little more opportunity to present some longer, in-depth looks at certain topics,” Hoffman explained in the first issue. The magazine is not confining itself just to pro sports. Mr. Hoffman is very interested in getting collegiate sports into his publication. “If the (Buffalo) baseball team does anything this year, we would be very interested in having something about them in the Fan,” he said. In fact, stories concerning Canisius’ basketball season and college basketball in the Auditorium have already appeared. Fan comes out only six times a year which means that there just won’t be enough .space to print as many articles as Mr. Hoffman might like. However, there is a distinct possibility that it could go to nine or twelve issues per year. Strength without length The full-time staff is very small, but experienced. Besides Hoffman, who doubles as a freelance sports photographer, the only other full-timers arc editor Dick Hirsch, a local television show host, art directors Carl Herrmann and Mary Hart and assistant Editor Mitch Gerber, who moonlights as The Spectrum's copy editor. Because of limited staff, the Fan is relying heavily on local newspapermen and freelancers for copy. In the inaugural issue, stories were written about Buffalo’s famous number eleven, basketball star Bob McAdoo and Sabres flashy center Gil Perrault, by Milt Northrop of the Buffalo Evening News and Jim Peters of the Courier-Express. At the other end of the spectrum, a local dentist gave his account of marathon running on the Niagara Frontier. Hoffman indicated that although he is being very selective about what he prints right now, if Fan does expand, he might consider recruiting writers from the local colleges. In the March/April edition, Buffalo Sports Information Director Dick Baldwin has a piece about Amherst Youth Hockey. “I like the idea. It’s a very nice elite-type publication,” he said. “And with this area so sports-minded,. I think it will serve the people in a good way.” Fan seems to be catching on. Its circulation is over 30,000, although the overwhelming majority of its readership got in on a free one-year subscription offer. “Most of our mail has been pretty good,” said Hoffman. “It’s when you give the people something less than what they expect that you run into trouble.” MASCOT meeting This University’s Marketing in Society of Today (MASCOT) association has been chartered as collegiate chapter by the American Marketing Association. The next MASCOT meeting, scheduled for today at 2 p.m.. Room 307 Crosby Hall, is open to all in the University community with a professional interest. The Mighty Wrestler Editor’s note: Lynn Everard normally writes news stories in prose about Buffalo wrestling. Now that the season is over, he has the chance to describe the sport in verse. We extend our apologies to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, whose The Village Blacksmith provided a model for this piece. The Mighty Wrestler by Lynn Everard The mighty wrestler stands; The wrestler, a brutal man is he. With bruised and beaten hands, Even the hairs on his mighty chest Are as coarse as iron strands. His teeth are chipped or crooked or gone, His nose is carved out like a plan; His brow is wet with athletic sweat, He bullies whoever he can. And looks his opponent in the face, For he fears not any man. Day in, day out, from morn till night You can watch his muscles grow; You can see him lift the massive weight. With animal strength and slow. And though he’s tired and drawn, His eyes remain aglow. Then a run around the track, And back to lift some more; When the time has come to please the scale Goes slowly through the door. And after losing 40 pounds, Finds he needs to lose 10 more. Friday, 28 March 1975 . The Spectrum . Page seventeen �GIF by Bruce Engel Though final approval from the Administration and Faculty Senate is still pending, it seems likely that Buffalo’s highly competitive wrestling program will be a charter member of the newly formed Eastern Wrestling Conference. The move simply has too many good things going for it. In one fell swoop, entrance into the conference will simplify scheduling, reduce traveling costs, upgrade the level of competition, increase excitement and probably generate revenue. As my mother the bookkeeper would say, “That’s a lot on the credit side.” The move is also consistent with the entrance of eight of Buffalo’s other teams into the Western New York Big Four along with Buffalo State, Canisius and Niagara last October. The women’s program followed suit soon after when it started its own big four. Hockey has been in the ECAC’s Division Two for several years, and while this is not a conference in the strict sense that everybody plays everybody during the regular season, there is a post season tournament setup to look forward to. A year ago virtually all of Buffalo’s program was independent. If the wrestling conference is approved, then only the fencing team and a couple of women’s teams will not have some affiliation. There are no fencing leagues anyway. The fact that the Western New York big four will not compete in wrestling, since Buffalo’s conference mates do not participate in the sport, gives wrestling a team that has been disproportionately strong in relation to most of Buffalo’s other teams, and the opportunity to stumble into a most desirable setup. And it was, in a manner of speaking, a happy accident. Penn State and Pitt had dropped out of the ECAC and are discarding some of their weak traditional opponents in favor of stronger ones. The result is that a school like Penn State, which had previously refused to schedule the Bulls because the team didn’t have the big name, eventually sought out Buffalo, because they know the Bulls can wrestle with the best in the East. And it will be the best in the East. It may even be the best in the country. Buffalo coach Ed Michael reports that the conference coaches would like to see the group become known as the Big Six. And the name is a good one. No other wrestling conference in the country is six deep with really good teams. Now, lest you think these circles are too lofty for the Bulls to handle, keep in mind that Buffalo was ranked 20th in the nation this season, and that they beat two conference schools. Clarion State and Lock Haven State. They would probably have lost to Penn State, and beaten Bloomsburg. A match with Pitt would have been too close for even a fearless predictor like me to predict. So you’re left with a conference record of either 4-1 or 3-2 against some of the best in the East, and that ain’t bad. Of course, just because Buffalo wrestling is on that level now doesn’t necessarily mean they will be there forever. The program has been slipping slightly in the last two years. Theoretically, next year’s squad may take an even greater dip-with the loss of stars Jim Young, Charlie Wright and Emad Faddoul. The trio had a total of nearly fifty wins and will be sorely missed. The wrestling Bulls will probably have some rebuilding to do next season, but recruiting gets tougher and tougher all the time. With the new special admissions program it will be easier to get good wrestlers into school, though one can’t be sure that it will be enough. Ultimately, success may depend upon Michael’s ability to get some scholarship help from somewhere. He’s done so well this far, he might even make it. Of course, the Bulls have been beating scholarship wrestlers for a long time now and they might just keep doing it, even without any grants-in-aid. Balance and depth is the key. If you don’t have the big stars, you have to have a lot of good people that can hurt the star studded teams in places where they don’t have stars. Since taking over five years ago, Michael has taken a good program and made it a.great one. Now, if the conference is approved, he enters phase two, keeping it great while playing the best. It’s too bad I’m graduating, because that is going to be worth watching.

Growing support for marijuana reform by Sharon Maravalli Spectrum Staff Writer Public support for marijuana reform continues to increase. Decriminalization legislation is pending or will soon be introduced in 22 states, including New York and Washington, D.C. Governor Hugh Carey recently announced support for “a system of fines or mandatory attendance at health clinics” instead of existing marijuana laws, which mandate sentences of up to IS years for possession of one ounce or more. A bill currently before the New York State legislature calls for a regulatory system of legalized marijuana sales similar to that governing the sale of alcohol. Another bill would remove all sanctions against possession of marijuana for personal use (four ounces or less), and would legalize not-for-profit “transfer” of small amounts. Additionally, sales penalties would drop from a 15 year felony to a one year misdemeanor. However, sale to persons under sixteen years old would remain a felony, carrying a four year prison term. Re-evaluated Erie County Sheriff Mike Amico recently expressed dissatisfaction with the state’s drug laws. “The laws on the books as they effect the use of heroin and hard drugs are proper and should be retained. Anyone dealing with heroin and hard drugs should go to gait for the rest of their life,” said Mr. Amico. “As for the laws applying to lesser drugs such a marijuana, these laws perhaps should be re-evaluated to make the punishment fit the crime,” he said. The California State Judiciary Committee recently approved a bill adopting a citation system with a maximum $100 fine that is expected to become law this legislative session, according to a report issued by the National Organization For the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML). Officials in Oregon, the first state to decriminalize the possession of one ounce or less of marijuana, have reported that after one year most citizens and law enforcement agencies approve of the new law, which replaced a one year prison penalty with a maximum $100 fine. Additionally, offenders do not go to jail and are not given a criminal record, but are issued citations similar to those used for traffic violations. Penalties unjust The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYP1RG), charged at the February 21 meeting of the State Assembly Codes Committee that “the current New York law dealing with possession of small quantities of marijuana is unjust. “The severe penalties simply do not match the seriousness of the crime,” explained Richard Sokolow, director of NYPIRG at the State University at Buffalo. “It is ridiculous that possession of even one ounce of marijuana will subject a person to the same penalties as arson in the fourth degree, rape in the third degree and criminally negligent homicide,” he said. NYPIRG has also demanded revision of the legal definition of “sale” currently defined as the handing of a single marijuana cigarette to another person even if no money changes hands. This “sale” is a class C felony and subjects the seller to the 15 year penalty. Donald Ross, Executive Director of central NYPIRG in Albany, testified at the February meeting that the “arbitrary and unrealistic penalties for use of soft drugs” results in “disrespect among students for the workings of government.” He said such “unrealistic penalties” create a “tolerance for lawlessness” and eventually contribute to - “campus cynicism.” delta-9-THC The U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) has been required since 1971 to report annually about marijuana use. The 1974 report, Marijuana and Health, offers no “definitive evaluation of marijuana’s harmfulness or safety for humans on the basis of scientific —continued on page 4— The final State University of New York (SUNY) budget, which must be approved by the state legislature by April 1, may be $10 million lower than the figure SUNY requested, according to Albert Somit, Executive Vice President. Some departments, fearing the worst, have already specified which faculty will be dropped first if any personnel cuts are necessary. However, Richard Mann, treasurer of the Colleges, believes these actions have been taken “to demonstrate the seriousness of the problem,” rather than to “finger anybody out for execution.” Most departments, he believes, have given at least some thought to where cuts would be “least painful,” a phrase which he said did not apply to the Colleges. No fall back Because the Colleges already have so little money for wages and salaries, money earmarked for temporary services has in some cases been used to pay instructors, Mr. Mann explained. If these funds are cut, he added, there won’t be much for the Colleges to fall back on. “We barely have enough now to run a minimal program,” Mr. Mann emphasized. “We’ve been just about scraping along.” Gordon Harris, acting Chairman of the Chemistry Department, termed next year’s outlook “bad news.” He said the Department would have particular trouble obtaining classroom supplies and equipment, if the cuts materialize, and that larger courses like Chem 101 would definitely be affected. He also predicted that “soft money” funds for would be the area library books and lab supplies most likely to be reduced. Philip Miles, Biology Department Chairman and his assistant, James Davoli, emphasized that “the realities of the times cannot be escaped.” Both agreed that careful managment of whatever funds are available will be the primary goal of the Biology Department, to better cope with anticipated cutbacks in classes and personnel. Mr. Davoli said that “times are hard everywhere,” and that other items on the state budget are as deserving of the same or.greater level of funds as the University. “Do we have the right to ask for more money, perhaps at the cost of the food stamps program? Or unemployment benefits?” he questioned. the cuts will inevitably result in either: lower quality instruction for more students, or instruction at present levels for fewer students. Dr. Miles asserted that decreasing the number of students admitted to Biology courses would be “the last resort,” and that a decision of that nature would have to be forced on him and the department. Dr. Ramm added that there is a real possibility that some physics programs, besides the summer ones, will have to be cut. And Dr. Harris, who is only acting Chairman of the Chemistry Department, said that next semester’s departmental head is “going to have a glorious summer trying to figure the whole thing out.” No failing Jonathan Reichert of the English Department expressed concern that tightening of the budgets might lead some faculty to offer courses simply for the students they will attract, so that additional funds will flow into the department. “I’m afraid teachers will literally not be able to afford to fail students,” Dr. Reichert said, stressing that “decisions should be made based on the quality of the courses, not necessarily their popularity.” Discussing the possibility of services cutbacks. Physical Plant Director James Sarras was less pessimistic. “We don’t believe that there will be any cuts affecting us,” he said. Some areas, he explained, such as custodial services in the medical school and the dental clinic could not be cut back without - - Heads or hands? The cuts will have varying effects, depending upon what areas they are made in, according to Michael Ramm, Chairman of the Physics Department. “Obviously, if the head goes, that’s worse than losing the hands,” he said, indicating that reductions would be more severely felt in some areas than in others. “Experimentalists to run the physics labs, and “lab supplies that tend to go sour” are the most crucial, Dr. Ramm believes. “We’re already operating at a minimum,” he said, explaining that Physics 101 and 102, required for pre-med students, have already been cut from this year’s Summer Sessions because of limited funds. All three of the science chairmen indicated that violating acceptable sanitary standards. If reductions must be made, they will be in less critical areas, such as lounges, Mr. Sarras indicated. Eldred Smith, Director of Library and Information Sciences, said that the current projected allocation will reduce the library’s acquisition power by 38 percent. He indicated that this would be “devastating” to the library, which he feels is already inadequate for a University this size. Optimism However, unlike other spokesmen, he was able to express a “guarded optimism” that the library would receive additional funding in the State’s supplemental budget. When allocations in the Executive Budget were calculated, he explained, the —continued on page 2 — �Indochina commentary—how tme do 'watchdogs’report?

The RSB and RU agree with the SYL that the US must get out of Southeast Asia. However, while the RSB and RU preach “victory” for Cambodia, the SYL claims this does not mean victory for the working class people. They want nothing less than communism for all of Indochina. The RU also hopes to disprove the common claim that students can have no influence on contemporary affairs. RU members want to carry out their philosophy by fighting for the settlement of issues crucial to students.

SUNY officials have instructed President Robert Ketter not to personally seek budget increases (see The Spectrum -of March 21). But Dr. Ketter apparently plans to lobby with area legislators for increases. Some spokesmen believe SUNY’s action will not allow this University’s unique problems to be adequately presented to the legislature. Dr. Somit explained, however, that SUNY’s goal is to coordinate efforts, not to exclude anyone.

Several other observers also feel the University will not suffer because Dr. Ketter must conform to SUNY guidelines. Many also said they were hesitant to comment on specific cuts, since the final budget has not been approved, and they do not know for sure what to expect. However, Mr. Davoli summed up the situation by revising the axiom, “everyone’s disaster is no one’s disaster,” by saying, “this disaster is the students’ disaster.” He indicated that, from the students’ point of view, 1976 could be a very bleak year indeed.

Government (PRG), By 1973, 37 foreign countries had recognized the Provisional Revolutionary Government and established diplomatic relations, while five others allowed the PRG to maintain information offices. So why are the people fleeing from the “Viet Cong,” as our nightly newscasters tell us? Why would the media deliberately falsify the news to mislead the American people? A possible answer to this lies in the incestuous relationship between the Ford-Rockefeller administration, the mass-media, and the monopoly corporations and banks operating in Southeast Asia. Monopolies Take for example, CBS. The Rockefeller family controls a financial group (bound by interlocking directorates) that also controls CBS. The Rockefeller family also has a controlling interest in many large corporations and banks, including Standard Oil Company, which was awarded oil drilling contracts by Thieu, off the cost of South Vietnam. Furthermore, the Rockefeller family has a controlling interest in Chase Manhattan Bank, whose Saigon Branch has financed various profit-making enterprises in South Vietnam, while the people sink deeper into poverty. It is quite apparent that if South Vietnam and Cambodia “fall,” so too will Chase Manhattan Bank and Standard Oil, from that part of the world. “Losing South Vietnam and Cambodia” means that the Rockefeller family and other monopolists will lose the power to take whatever they want from the riches of these countries; they will lose the power to move business operations to a part of the world where dictators outlaw trade unions so wages of 35 to 50 cents an hour can be paid. Perhaps this makes clear the persistant cry from the sabre-wielding Ford and Rockefeller administration for billions more American tax dollars to beef up the sagging military dictatorships in Saigon and Phnom Penh. It’s not just a coincidence that we are suddenly being barraged with news reports and film clips about the “fall” of South Vietnam and Cambodia.

Any unleashed dog spotted in the Buffalo vicinity might cost his owner up to $ 15 for the first offense and up to $150 or 15 days in jail for the second or subsequent offenses. Although the. law originally passed last November, it began being enforced March 17, 1975. Any unleashed dog that is found without its owner will be apprehended and brought to the pound, where the owner may retrieve it by paying a $2 fee if the dog is licensed, and a $5 fee if it is not. In such cases, the owner must still pay the $15 unleashed dog fine in City Court. All fines go into the City Treasury. The University policy that dogs must be leashed has not been enforced. In the near future, however, Campus Security will initiate a program to enforce the City of Buffalo’s ordinances.

This installment examines the days preceeding events fateful the of May 4. by Sparky Alzamora Campus Editor Students Kent State University in Ohio did not react favorably to President Nixon’s April 30th announcement of a offensive stepped-up into Cambodia, but the mood on campus was far from violent the following day. A group of anti-war demonstrators, made up mostly of history students, rallied around the Victory Bell on the Commons, protesting what they felt was a return to President policy Johnson’s of at non-political Midwestern university. Even when members of the Black United Students, angry over recent problems with the National Guardsmen on campus, called for immediate student action, a mere four hundred students attended the demonstration. May 1 was the first really pleasant day of the year, and many fled the confines of a campus traditionally known as a “suitcase school.” It was not until the evening that the atmosphere began growing tense. - “victory-at-any-cost.” But President Nixon seemed to downplay this belief, explaining that the involvement in Cambodia was primarily taken “not for the purpose of expanding war into Cambodia but for the purpose of ending the war in Vietnam.” Out of twenty thousand students attending Kent State at the time, only five hundred turned out for the rally at the Victory Bell, a quite typical display of student activism at a ‘The Chosen Few’ At night, a number of students retreated to the line of bars on North Water Street, apparently not very concerned with the invasion of Cambodia. With the temperature in the seventies, stood along the street, members of “The watching Chosen Few,” a local motorcycle gang, perform feats of daring on many their bikes. The celebrated bonfire on Water Street, mistakingly blamed on the students, was caused by “The Chosen Few,” who collected trash with which to build it. By midnight, the street had been illegally closed-off by the gang and a group of twenty or so students began chanting cries against the war, breaking windows along the way.

By 12:30 a.m., the crowd swelled to 4-500 and the town police, numbering 21, were called to quell the increasingly aggressive mood of the demonstrators. Minutes later.

There was also some confusion as to whether the curfew on campus, imposed by a university to prohibiting damage injunction to campus property, never reached many of the students who left Kent for the weekend. In the meantime, Lieutenant Barnette conversed with Robert E. Matson, Kent Vice President for Student Affairs, on what would happen if student “rioters” became violent again. (University President Robert White was away in Iowa that weekend.) Barnette told Matson that the Guard would assume “complete control” of the town and campus if they deemed it necessary. What Mr. Barnette failed to tell Mr. Matson was that the National Guardsmen served only as a militia supportive of civilian law EMERSON IAKE&MUIIER IN THE MOVIES! .. . told him that “SDS students had taken over a portion of Kent.” The assistant relayed the message to Major General Sylvester Del Corso, adjutant general of the Ohio National Guard, who in turn the erroneous transferred information to liaison officer, Lieutenant Charles J.

None of the four students who were to die the following Monday participated in any of the events of that night. Mayor Satrom, Qualified undergraduate can: Governor.

Invasion at It has been determined that General Del Corso, upon hearing students had reports that prevented firemen from dosing the flames in the ROTC building, ordered his troops to “shoot any rioter who cuts a fire hose.” Mr. Del Corso had the campus by 11:55 a.m., using cleared brandished bayonets and tear gas to disperse the students. Only a few rocks were actually thrown, one student suffered an eight-inch bayonet slash across his right cheek and a stab wound in and the leg, inflicted by two National Guardsmen. (In November, 1971, the state general dropped charges against twenty of twenty-five initially indicted the burning, while the FBI attorney all the in has identified some of the persons in the harassment of firemen as high school students, possibly under the influence of LSD.) Kent State seemed to be under martial law in the early morning hours of Sunday, May 3. The Guard, some of -whom had not rested since a trucker’s strike in Cleveland, which lasted from the previous Wednesday until 6 p.m. the night, roamed Saturday campus, in full battle gear, riding army trucks and jeeps through the pathways between buildings. Surprisingly, there was little talk of closing the University down; President White, back from Iowa, agreed with Governor Rhode’s decision to keep Kent open. A crucial election primary was two days away, and Rhodes needed to emphasize his stand on law and order at the expense of the students at Kent State. In a speech broadcast that day, Governor Rhodes called the — . worse than the students brownshirts and the Communist element and also the night riders and the vigilantes.

Students gathered in a peaceful demonstration at the Commons around 8 p.m., but with the absence of Del Corso, the Ohio Highway Patrol assumed control and ordered the Guard to impose an immediate curfew shortly before 9 p.m. The demonstrators, however, knew they were allowed the right to “peaceful assembly, dissent demonstration, or movement about the campus” under the Ohio Riot Act as so by Mayor decreed Satrom. Disregarding commanding officer Jones’ order, the students were subsequently and teargassed headed for President White’s home and Prentice Gate. The National Guardsmen repelled the group at White’s home but met up with a strong force of students at Prentice. Again rocks were thrown, and the Guard responded by shooting tear gas and bayonet wounds. Soon, the area resembled a battle field with exploding M-79 grenade launchers and firing gas, a helicopter hoving overhead. returning Students, from relatively quiet weekends at home, were almost immediately made aware of the perilous situation on campus. By the day’s end, at least a few students had to be serious hospitalized for injuries, and thousands needed reassurance that the awful events of the past three days would not take place again.

Haldeman, was the decision to preserve the White House tapes for the historical record instead of destroying them. Mr. Haldeman stressed this the other night in his highly-publicized, lucrative interview with Mike Wallace, when he sidestepped almost every ethical problem and chose to deal only with practical errors he had committed At first glance, this would seem surprising, since the tapes and the courts have proven without a doubt that he initiated, condoned and lied about the coverup. Why then, would Haldeman, a man of intelligence and practicality, refuse which have become acknowledge activities to historical record? The answer lies in the man's self-delusion. Haldeman was not being tight-lipped to avoid embarrassment for himself and others; a more plausible theory is that he actually believes he did nothing wrong, except for an occasional mistake in judgement. It was this total blindness to wrongdoing that made Nixon and his cohorts so they actually believed all of the seamy things dangerous — they did were justifiable under the circumstances. Without a doubt, Nixon and Haldeman will continue to conceive of themselves as martyrs, convinced that they were hounded out of office by a press establishment that did not and could not share their higher perception of visualize the forthcoming government. One can a page or two of righteous Nixon-Haldeman memoirs misgiving, followed by several voluminous chapters describing how the illegal break-ins, wiretaps and the enemies lists they authorized were for God and country. — That Mr. Haldeman said nothing insightful about Watergate is therefore less important than why he said nothing, just as the outrages committed are less significant than the underlying values which rationalized these acts. Fortunately, Nixon and Haldeman fell before they could do further damage. But one need only leaf through a few Went to the coffee house in the first floor Norton cafeteria on Friday night. It was rather quiet and very enjoyable. The lead act was a Canadian I had seen at the Mariposa Folk Festival and liked, by name of Adam Mitchell. He did a wide variety of funky songs of his own writing, based on a range of experiences beginning with what it is like to grow up in a small town where it is necessary to have a car to breathe once you are past 17. He went onward through such things as trying to buy gas with long “Goddamn hippies ain’t served here, been hair that way for goddamn years, and we sure as hell ain’t goddamn startin now. Why don’t you buy some goddamn soap, quit makin all that goddamn dope, and watch your goddamn language in our town.” and other sundry experiences. Pleasant and personable guy who played a nice guitar. The other person who played was from Buffalo. John Brady has been around for a while. He has even been mentioned within this hallowed space on occasion. On Friday night he chose to do his own material, noting that he needed the exposure more than the other people whose material he also does. John plays a steady, unspectacular guitar and has a good voice sort of in the area of Steve Goodman’s, but with a bit more range. What sets Mr. Brady apart is the songs. Musically I can’t tell you much because I don’t know much, but I liked them for whatever that is worth. What really affected me were the lyrics. They are also somewhat hard to be specific about since they kept getting to me enough to make me anxious, and I would go off somewhere else in my head and do something for a while until 1 got it together again enough to listen some more. This is a man who is in the business of talking about the way his head works, what he feels, what he perceives, and his responses to the world. I have already plugged Jackson Browne’s “Late For The Sky.” It is a fine, fine album. In it Browne lays it down about as straight as I have ever heard anyone do it. There is a line floating in my head from somewhere, and when he laid it, it stayed laid.” Browne does it. John Brady is a little quieter about it, but the same job gets done or was by the material he sang romantic, and he sings a lot of Friday night. He is a what love and not being in love, being in songs about other in either from one to the and moving direction, by whatever means. They are primarily personal experience songs, and the lyrics are written by someone who has been in the business of noticing what goes on in his head for quite a while. What comes out are a variety of very clear, very lucid, statements about what it is like to feel certain kinds of things, or experience certain situations, from inside John Brady. This turns out to be a trip worth — - - “ ... — taking. I must admit that a certain amount of the above is supposition. Setting and set play an important part in any experience, musical or otherwise, and 1 was in a set that made me very sensitive to the kinds of things he was trying to say. One of the ways 1 conceptualize myself is that 1 am pretty good at caring about people, but not very good at loving them. I was at the coffee house with someone that catches me somewhere in the hole between caring about and loving. My sense is that it should be impossible to care about someone past a certain point without loving them. If it isn’t impossible, we should at least make it illegal. It hurts too much not to do something about it. So when you put someone stuck in that place me in a certain setting ... John Brady’s playing his songs. .. with somebody else who was much surer of her feelings and paid a high cost for them, there is a certain level of feeling which makes it hard to be totally, or even largely, objective. In between trying to figure out what to do with our hands and eyes, we both seemed to be affected by the music. So, I think he is worth going to see. Fortunately, you have a chance to do that this very night. (The night of which I hope I am speaking is Wednesday, things have been a little tricky lately when it comes to deadlines with vacations and all. The Central Park Grill (CPG) has the good taste to present John Brady each Wednesday and Sunday evening. THE CPG, if you are out enough not to know where it is, lies directly on down Main Street.

It is also south of Fillmore and Main, and north of Tinney ty Stctx Cadillac if you are more into cars than food. If you are more into pizza than natural foods, it is also across the street sort of from a Santora’s I think Pizzeria. Better yet, look up the Central Park Grill in the telephone book, call them up, make sure John Brady is in fact playing, and ask whoever answers how to get there.

Kaplan to ther Adolph Hitler fan club to see and learn his lesson before committing After their mild case of minimum security institutions, some Watergate criminals are talking about prison reform. No one who gets anywhere near our prison system can go away unshaken. It is barbaric. It is so bad, in all respects, that reformers hardly know where to begin; and respected panels have seriously come to the conclusion that the only real reform would be the abolition of prisons as we know them. Our society is afraid to look at what it does to the men in our jails. It has a divided mind and a bad conscience on the whole subject of punishment. It juggles three partly-conflicting penal theories in its mind, and does not act consistently on any one of them. The first theory is that of revenge. This is the oldest justification for penalties in our traditions the lex talionis, an eye for an eye. A man must “pay” for his crimes. This motive is very deep in human nature, and the heaviest clamor for punishment seems always to come from this source. The criminal should not “get away with it.” He should be made to suffer. But our system, while trying to satisfy this desire, is a bit troubled by it. A man must “pay” but pay whom? The original lex talionis made it clear that God, who looks out for men and their eyes, must be “paid” a criminal eye when an innocent eye has been taken away. But we are no longer very confident about speaking for God, collecting his debts, as it or acting for him were, from the guilty who have offended him. So we talk of a criminal,paying his “debt” to society. Society, in this case, is presumably speaking for the aggrieved party in a crime, collecting a certain quantity of pain in return for pain inflicted. The point of prison is to make suffer mentally, at least; suffer, people suffer various kinds of privation, the loss of liberty, of luxury, of convenience. That is why reformers always hear that prisons are meant to be unpleasant. One should not make things soft for people while society is supposed to be making things hard for them. But this revenge seems rather pointless. What does society get when it is paid various quanta of pain? Nothing really useful, except the satisfaction of revenge which is spiritually dangerous. So at this point another theory is the theory of Deterrence. A man brought in who “pays his debt” gives society something As a student at UB, I would like to draw attention to a new club that has apparently joined the University Community. This organization which I shall “affectionately” label the “Adolph Hitler Fan Club” (AHFC), has initiated a campaign to, once 'again, defame the character of Jews. In recent weeks, the Amherst Campus has been besieged by an example of Nazi “art.” If you were to take a walk through the Millard Fillmore Academic Core (from the Student Club to Clifford Furnas College), you would see examples of swastikas and the standard anti-Semitic comments reproduced by the AHFC to remind Jewish students of their years of persecution. I suppost that Jewish students should thank the AHFC for reminding them to keep their guard up against the threat of further advancements in anti-Semitic campaigns. However, in the interest of keeping the walls at Amherst clean (since the moral and intelligent reasons for halting this behavior are - apparently not evident), please stop your stupidity for your own good “The life you defame may be — your own!!” Sanders - Insulting journalism To the Editor. I’ve just finished reading Sports Editor Bruce Engel’s article (March 19th) on Mr. Bill Sanford, coach of the State University at Buffalo swimming team. To be honest, I’m having a great deal of difficulty understanding why Mr. Engel, a credible and somewhat professional journalist, should choose to verbally attack a man who through 25 years of coaching experience and hard work has gained the - respect and admiration of this campus and his fellow administrators. Mr. Engel, in a previous article in The Spectrum, referred to Coach Sanford as “a bitter old man.” Rather than apologizing, Mr. Engel has chosen to justify and clarify that previous statement. Many of Mr. Engel’s statements ate, in my opinion, insulting, inappropriate, and beyond the reasonable limit of responsible journalism. As a writer and former Sports Editor of The Spectrum, I have known Mr. Engel for four years. 1 have known Mr. Sanford for 10 years. In my undergraduate days, when i was feeling out of sorts, I would stop by the athletic department and have long chats with Coach Sanford. His door was always open, and, for some inexplicable reason, my spirits and outlook would be much improved. It was a real treat when Coach Sanford would share with me some of his experiences and personal philosophies garnered over a long and illustrious career. If this makes a man “old” because he is able to share the past with people who care, then Mr. Engel is correct. Mr. Sanford is an “old” man. But “bitter,” Mr. Engel? Maybe it’s because I’m not perceptive, but, it seems to me that Coach Sanford has somehow gracefully surrendered to the autumn of his life with a contentment which I wish was mine. Richard useful because he is an example set up for others by Garry Wills To the Editor. Garrett INVESTIOATINO Hi L. Baumgarten Class of’70 - - — crimes of their own. To use the prisoner as a teaching device to warn off potential felons from a life of crime. Society gets its “pay” in the good conduct of these non-imprisoned people. Deterrence obviously works in certain cases, as anyone with children knows. But the threat must be real and immediate, and normally addressed to a specific person and a specific term (“If you don’t make your bed right now, you can’t watch TV tonight.”) But the people who are supposed to benefit from specific men’s imprisonment are not identified, since they have not yet committed the crimes we are trying to prevent. This makes the lesson rather diffuse and ineffectual. Besides, the crimes of violence we most fear are often performed in the heat of passion, out of psychotic compulsion, by people culturally hardened against such gentle lessons as the punishment of somebody else. The record is discouraging. We never had more people in and we never had more crimes being prisons Obviously committed. our educational instrument is not working. So a third theory is trotted in, to try to make sense of the mess. If we cannot deter unspecified people out of the general public from committing crimes, then at least we should be able to deter the criminals we have caught. It is impossible retroactively to deter them from committing the crime that put them in prison, but we should be able to deter them from repeating the crime. So is bom the theory of to meet its very special kind of Rehabilitation failure. Far from preventing crimes, prisons train and harden men in lawlessness, forcing them into futures of crime (they also train the guards to criminality). So all three theories prove unhelpful. Indeed, they cripple each other. The Revenge theory demands harsh conditions which undermine the Rehabilitation approach. The Deterrence theory partly works on the middle class because the Revenge theory has made our prisons class ghettos, again undermining any hope of Rehabilitation. Our whole attitude toward crime and punishment needs the most thorough criticism, just to clear away accumulated mental rubbish. Reform is stalled until we perform this act of intellectual slum clearance. — - Gets off easy To the Editor. In reference to my cousin’s letter [Jonathan D.

Through greater cooperation with student leaders, a viable intercollegiate and intramural program seems assured, and a general feeling of security now permeates Clark Hall. Why then are smiles on the faces of athletic department personnel about as common as future jobs for college graduates these days? The answer is located in the horrendous record of Buffalo’s competing intercollegiate athletic teams. Except for the wrestling.and soccer teams, which had outstanding seasons, Buffalo’s athletic teams were losers. Basketball had an 8-17 record, the Hockey Bulls were 11-18-1, and the baseball team took a terrible shellacking down south. Green Bay Packer’s immortal coach, Vince Lombardi, put it right on the line, when he said, “Winning isn’t everything; it’s the only thing.” There is, in fact, a great deal of truth to that additional axiom that “nobody likes a loser.” And, as the varsity Bulls continue to lose a large percentage of their games, student interest drops accordingly. Dan Daniels, the Athletic Department’s business manager, has confirmed that only 11 student tickets were sold for a recent basketball game at Memorial Auditorium against the University of Pittsburgh. For a school of over 25,000 full and part-time students, this is incredible. And the problem is not the staff. Leo Richardson in basketball, Eddie Wright in hockey, and Bill Monkarsh in baseball are competent coaches and proven winners Given the appropriate means of recruitment, these coaches could produce exciting and highly competitive intercollegiate varsity teams But in the great scheme of the State University system, Buffalo is ineligible for grants-in-aid based solely on athletic ability. The ultimate result has been that Buffalo has been clobbered in almost every sport by schools stocked with scholarship athletes. At an ever increasing rate, at least among the better athletic schools, this University is in danger of rapidly becoming the “patsy” of the east; that is, a school which other universities use as a showcase for a good athletic drubbing. And this, no doubt, is dismaying to Athletic Department officials. The general consensus is that New York State must come to the aid of athletics if a revitalization of the intercollegiate program is to take place. Scholarships and financial aid based on athletic ability must once again be considered as a workable alternative. Philosophical arguments aside, the State University of Buffalo simply cannot compete on a varsity level without the re-institution of scholarships. That is the reality of the situation. Until this issue is resolved, Buffalo must make do with what it has. The beat of “nobody likes a loser” goes on and on. Grants and jobs for athletes Tody’s sports page presents two differing views of athletics and athfefic scholarships. In conjunction with those views, we present this brief rundown of the extent of aid, through grants or jobs, that benefit Buffalo’s varsity athletes. Basketball: Most of the varsity basketball players receive aid and the better part of those that c(o have all expenses covered (room, board, books, tuition and fees). Others receive partial grants. It should be noted that not all of these grants are athletically oriented. For instance, forward Jeff Baker is a veteran and receives money from the GI Bill. At least one basketball player is on EOF. The athletic scholarship money comes from the alumni association. Hockey: A total of 15 hockey players receive funds raised at a benefit game the Sabres played for the University last fall. Several of the Canadian players still receive foreign student waivers because they were already enrolled when the program was dropped. Baseball, Wrestling, Soccer and Track: Athletes on these teams often receive small amounts of aid from a wide variety of sources. Some baseball players are on the hockey team and get money there. Others have jobs in the recreation department or ihe athletic equipment room. There are a handful of wrestlers, hockey players and soccer players who also have these jobs. At least one track man is on EOF. As far as we know there are no other forms of athletic aid from the department or the University. Of course some athletes are regents scholarship winners and some have grants from other sources. Athletes-doing what they can Editor’s note: This piece is written as a reaction to Rich Baumgarten’s article calling for more athletic scholarships. Together we hope they present a forum on this controversial subject. The Spectrum encourages you to let us know how you feel about athletic scholarships after reading these two views of the situation. by Bruce Engel Sports Editor When great people die, some part of them lives on. Something that they did remains after their death and serves to extend the spirit of their life and work. Vince Lombardi was a great man. Why must that horrendous saying of his live on in his memory? “Winning isn’t everything; it’s the only thing.” The saying might have had relevance for Lombardi. He was the coach of a professional team. It has no relevance in Clark Hall. Winning is not the jonly thing. It’s not even everything. It’s not even the most important thing. This is a university. The really important thing is education The athletes that represent this University are students. If their education isn’t the most important thing to them, then frankly they shouldn’t be here. Hopefully, athletics can be part of their education, and a vital part. The real values of athletics are intrinsic and can’t be reflected in a win and lose record. It’s the experience of the athlete that is important. Merely to compete is far more important than winning and losing. ( It’s not whether There’s another thing (there may be quite a few more) that is more important than winning or losing namely, the athletes’ health and safety. - Mr. Baumgarten was very pleased the six endangered sports were saved. But he doesn’t Racers — when he talks about winning and they get scholarship assistance. Obviously, he shares the view of those who would have abolished these sports that they simply aren’t very important. For those of you that might not know, the golf team had a super year, and swimming and cross country were surprisingly strong. The tennis team had a winning record too. Getting back to the “big five,” wrestling and soccer were outstanding, basketball and baseball are rebuilding. The only real disappointment is hockey. Yes Rich, it was a very mention them losing and doesn’t propose that V —Center Buffalo centerfielder Rick Wolstenholme has won The Spectrum's Athlete of the Week award for his great play on the team's annual southern tour. The Bulls' pitching was disappointing in Florida, but Wolstenholme showed that if they (pitchers) come around, he can do most of the rest. He hit .513 with a triple and a home run, stole a few bases, made two fantastic catches and generally did everything well. good year. Real students If the coaching staff is unhappy because they don’t have scholarship athletes, they don’t have superteams and they can’t play the best competition all the time, then 1 suggest they look at their programs again. What they do have is a program that not mercenary real students are participating in - athletes. The athletic scholarship, in and of itself, is not an evil thing. Unfortunately, what it can lead to is less than desirable. It may lead to the expectation that your athletes will perform like robots and win all the time. It may lead to a fierce desire to win at nearly any price. It may even lead to the recruitment of profoundly unqualified students who just happen to be great athletes. The Department cannot on the one hand justify athletics for intrinsic reasons and then try to bring in more scholarship athletes so that more of the teams win more often. Everybody wants to win. But this isn’t an athletic factory like Ohio State. The best Buffalo can do is to try to win with what it has. The Bulls should play on a level where they are competent. And if they lose, then they lose. It wouldn’t be the end of the world. attention! accepting racing Contrary to previous announcement, The Spectrum will not be Friday s edition read already applied, applications after 5 p.m. this afternoon.

The comments were made on a CBS news special, “Haldeman: The Nixon Years.” The interview covered old ground, with Mr. Haldeman his adding personal own observations and characterizations rather than any new information. Several times he expressed his failure to understand what had gone wrong with the Nixon Administration. He spoke not of criminal transgressions but of “mistakes.” The man who once said, “Every president needs an S.O.B. and I’m Nixon’s,” discussed the of the Nixon politics administration, the character of the former president, the tapes, the plumbers and the effort to “contain” the Watergate affair in an edited interview with correspondent Mike Wallace. Separate context The Watergate affair has become synonymous with the last of the Nixon lwo years administration and many critics have grouped all events of that period together into one large scandal. Mr. Haldeman was extremely careful to isolate the break-in and subsequent coverqp from other attempts endeavors, administration however Mr. Wallace asked, “Why the plumbers?,” in a voice that betrayed disbelief that anyone delegated so much authority and sworn to uphold the constitution, could have hired a gang of thugs to do their dirty work. They were working for the Committee to Re-elect the President (CREEP), responded Haldeman, Mr. carefully dissassociating the Nixon White House from the Nixon campaign machine. But Mr. Wallace, one of the most thorough journalists on television, pressed the issue. “CREEP, that was the organization of John Mitchell, a former Attorney General, and Maurice Stans, a former Secretary of Commerce, who were at times answerable to the directly President,” Mr. Wallace said. Mr. Haldeman was visibly uncomfortable with the question, and although he reiterated his claim that the plumbers were not working for the Nixon White House, his reply seemed so evasive that it cast suspicion on his ability to relate what had transpired behind the closed doors of the oval office. Background Mr. Haldeman received in excess of $25,000 for the taped interview called a “memoir” by CBS executives. Labelled “check book journalism,” by its critics, this form of soliciting information from newsmakers has come under attack from those who believe it could lead to monopolization of news features by those with the bankroll. The other largest networks, ABC and NBC, were hesitant to criticize, but conceded that the CBS “memoir” classification raised certain questions. Their silence may have been prompted by past performance. Both had paid for interviews in the past, NBC for a 1969 session with Robert Kennedy’s assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, and ABC for a talk with Lt. William Galley. New York Times columnist James Reston was more critical. “Isn’t this a dangerous he asked in a recent precedent?” column. “If CBS will pay this kind of money for Mr. Haldeman, won’t other big shots or notorious characters demand their price?” “The danger is that the flow of much important information will be commercialized and the public will be left with the best perjury and obstruction of justice, interviews money can buy,” Mr. admitted that he exercised “bad judgment” and a “woeful Jack of Reston added. perception” in the Watergate Affair, but to no criminal Personal views CBS has defended its policy on activities. He expressed regret that the grounds that these interviews the tapes had not been destroyed are personal observations of because they had incriminated historic events, not exclusively several top White House staff members. news items He insisted, however, that the of the A large portion interview did center on personal portions made public were only Haldeman, those that could have implicated reminiscences. Mr. who once called his former boss the former administration officials “One of the most enigmatic men of wrongdoing. They showed a of and thought in American history,” said that he “poverty was not close to Mr. Nixon on a articulation” he said, adding that the original purpose of the tapes personal, non-business basis. “I did not love Richard Nixon had been to preserve an accurate and don’t now,” he said. He record of Oval Office transactions admitted that he had an for Mr. Nixon’s personal use. Although he agreed that the “enormous respect” for the former president, claiming they tapes showed Mr. Nixon to be had enjoyed a “close, strong “indecisive, petty, vindictive and but indifferent,” Mr. Haldeman was relationship,” working no criminal activities. He nothing more. Mr. Haldeman, who has been expressed regret that the tapes convicted on several counts of had not been destroyed because they had incriminated several top White House staff members. He insisted, however, that the portions made public were only those that could have implicated the former administration officials of wrongdoing. They showed a “poverty of thought and articulation” he said, adding that the original purpose of the tapes had been to preserve an accurate record of Oval Office transactions for Mr. Nixon’s personal use. Although he agreed that the tapes showed Mr. Nixon to be “indecisive, petty, vindictive and indifferent,” Mr. Haldeman was adamant in his assertion that the publication of all the tapes would show the “strong, decisive, leader” the President had been 90 percent of the time. Mr. Haldeman has kept in touch with his former employer, but has talked little about Watergate, because “he knows what I know and I know what he knows.” Applications for International Minority 7^ and difference!!!

Mr. Lalonde explained that the $2000 figure was picked by the Restructuring Committee because the cost of most “big time” speakers is usually over that amount, while less expensive speakers seem to cost much less than $2000. “The $2000 was not arbitrary,” he said. The Restructuring Committee recommended that the Student Senate approve speakers over $2000 because the Senate “is the most representative student body on campus,” Mr. Lalond emphasized. Many decisions Current Speakers Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow, who was also a member of the Restructuring Committee, intends to oppose the proposal when it is brought to the Assembly next week.

While the jury was sequestered. Supreme Court Justice Gilbert King heard testimony by a psychologist who has done studies on the validity of eyewitness testimony. Despite defense protests, Judge King did not allow psychologist Robert Buckhut (whose studies on eyewitnesses testimony have been published in Scientific American magazine) to testify before the jury. In supporting the prosecution’s contention that Mr. Buckhut’s testimony was irrelevant to the trial, Judge King asked the jury to leave the room while Mr. Buckhut’s testimony was heard and recorded. Mr. Buckhut concluded from numerous studies that eyewitness testimony is the least reliable of all trial evidence. Eyewitnesses make many errors, he said, mainly because of stress and the very short period of time in which they view an event. William Quinn was fatally injured in the first few minutes of the Attica uprising when the prison was in chaos. Additionally, eyewitnesses usually see only a very small part of what takes place, and, after a while, they tend to fill in the gaps to make their stories more credible, according to Mr. Buckhut. The Attica uprising occurred in September 1971. At one point during the testimony, Judge King said to Mr. Buckhut, “1 don’t want to hear about your experiments,” according to Bruce Soloway, media coordinator of the Attica Trial News Service. A former Attica prison guard testified earlier in the week that he had given false testimony concerning the death of guard William Quinn to state investigators. Over protests from the prosecution, Alton Tolbert testified that for two years he had falsely accused an inmate of striking William Quinn. He said he had done this for his own personal gain. “In my own mind I thought I could further myself and possibly get transferred to a prison nearer my home,” he explained. State prosecutor Louis A’dala had argued that Mr. Tolbert was not a proper witness since the prosecution had already had Mr. Tolbert sign a document recanting his story in June 1972. However, the prosecution had not given this document to Correction Department officials in Albany, who said they were “shocked” by last week’s testimony. The State Correctional Service is considering disciplinary action against Mr. Tolbert, who is still a prison guard. Defense attorneys William Kunstler and Ramsey Clark appealed for the dismissal of charges against their clinets last week. Judge King said he would consider reducing the charges against Mr. Pemasaclice. Mr. Clark, attorney for Mr. Pemasaclice, discussed the fact that only two of the state’s eighteen witnesses had even mentioned his client. While doctors’ reports stated that Mr. Quinn had died from head injuries, only one witness testified that he saw Mr. Pernasalice strike Mr. Quinn on the back. Mr. Quinn had no injuries on his back. The other witness testified that Mr. Pernasalice had told him “he had made sure a guard was dead,” but he said he had not taken Mr. Pernasalice’s remark seriously, “I must say that never in 24 years before the bar have I seen any office of prosecution submit in a case of murder such inconsequential, unsubstantial and unsupportable evidence, and I urge you to end the anxiety now and dismiss the charges against Mr. Pernasalice,” Mr. Clark asserted. In a more impassioned speech, Mr. Kunstler outlined the political content of the trial. “For one blinding moment hundreds of men were released. It was a paralyzing moment in history when a man was run down by forces that were suddenly unleashed. It happened without anyone’s control. It was a cry against an inhumane —continued on page 12— �Priority parking set for carpools Space will be made available for priority parking to carpools in Michael lot, the Student Association (SA) announced Wednesday.

Approximately 30 spaces are set aside for the beginning of the program. “The cooperation that we have received from Campus Security and from Environmental Health and Safety has been fantastic,” said Arthur Lalonde, SA Executive Vice-President. “We have the people needed to man the area and have the necessary materials all collected,” added Steven Schwartz, the the - Director of Student Affairs. “The only thing left to do is to get people registered so that we have a base figure to work with,” Mr. Lalonde continued. Students may sign up for carpools in the SA Office, Room 205 Norton Hall. The Ride Board adjacent to the Fillmore Room in Norton Hall, is also available for people interested in forming carpools. “We feel that we have put together a set-up that speaks to the needs of the commuter student while encouraging energy conservation,” said Mr. Schwartz. “And we believe this is the first such program in the Western New York area,” « Monday, March 24, 1975 1 p.m. Room 231 Norton Hall Rev.

Action’ GSA selects new officers The Reservations can still be made sponsored by Joseph P. Esposito five new Graduate Student Association (GSA) officers, elected by the GSA Senate Monday, hope to work on a variety of issues by looking at graduate education as a whole, according to President Terry DiFilippo. Mr. DiFilippo, was voted into office along with three other members of the George Boger, Administrative Vice “Action” slate - President; Leza Mesiah, External Affairs Vice President; and Bert Herbert, Treasurer. Warren Breisblatt, who ran independently for Student Affairs Vice President, was also elected. The new officers plan to strongly support the Graduate Students Employees Union’s (GSEU) stance in the current controversy over the new University guidelines for Graduate Assistants. The GSEU is trying to unionize nearly 1200 graduate students, with the active support of the New York State United Teachers Union. Critics have charged that the new guidelines are an attempt by the administration to head off such unionization. Mr. DiFilippo expressed that he was concerned about the increase in financial cutbacks for public higher education. The “Action” slate was formed in response to “state and national policies discriminating against public education in favor of private education,” he said. second-year graduate student in the Department of Philosophy. He will be in charge of the disbursement of student activities fees, and presenting the GSA Senate with a monthly income statement and balance sheet. Additionally, Mr. Herbert will conduct financial hearings and mid-year evaluations of all budgets.

Dartmouth Grad Mr. DiFilippo graduated from Dartmouth College in 1968, receiving a BA degree with distinction in philosophy. Since then, he has pursued a joint degree in law and philosophy at the State University at Buffalo. In 1973, he served as GSA Vice President for External Affairs, and has held numerous other posts in student government. As Chief Executive of the GSA, Mr. DiFilippo will chair Senate meetings and appoint all chairmen and members to the various GSA Committees. He is the primary GSA delegate to all outside activities and will appoint additional delegates where needed. Additionally, the President serves as an ex-officio member of all committees. High on the GSA’s list of policy objectives is maintaining state allocations for tuition waivers and scholar incentives to graduate students. Additionally, the new officers hope- to maintain state allocations for Teaching Assistants, Resident Advisors and Graduate Assistants. Reversing proposed cuts of library acquisitions and funding for SUNY in general are also of vital concern, Mr. DiFilippo said. Official duties As the new Administrative Vice President, Mr. Roger will assist the President in his executive and administrative duties. He will supervise the annual election of the GSA Senate and coordinate all GSA committees. Mr. Roger is also an ex-officio member of all committees, and will be responsible for the minutes, correspondence and records for the GSA.

Mr. Breisblatt will also serve as an ex-officio, non-voting representative to the GSA Research Council. “This year the GSA officers are an exceptionally well-qualified and organized group,” Mr. DiFilippo said, “and we will be working closely at broad issues and the specific problems related to this campus.” general duty, Ms. Mesiah will gather and �in academics proved to be mixed News analysis i > Outgoing SA faced a variety of issues The Dances qdmirpstrptiop had made one notable stride in academic affair? by filling most of the faculty and administration committee positions open* to students. The Jackalone administration managed to do the same, and in the process, pick some people regarded as genuinely capable.

The great flood of money that had floated educational experimentation in the 1960’s had dried up long ago.

The Colleges and other attempts at innovation, which had flourished in the flush of endless seemingly era decides of get the academic clubs involved in questions expansion, faced competition for that scarce funds from the more academic policy, though in SA.

Its own record administration’s term. Under the - gun, the administration put together a position paper against plus-minus grading. No one knows what effect it had on President Robert Ketter, although people involved in drafting the paper say it was very well done. In any event, Dr. Ketter vetoed the grading plan. The Jackalone administration also consistently opposed any change from the four-course load system. For about two years, the four-course load has come under fire from various faculty and administration spokesmen and from Albany. It is impossible to tell what effect the Jackalone administration has had since, given the speed at which academic bureaucracies operate, nothing was likely to have come of this it has come to be regarded as generally stable. ATE on thin ice But the most important area of policy academic under the Jackalone administration was the Student Course and Teacher Evaluation (SCATE). The SCATE, designed to let students know which courses and teachers other students consider good or bad, was to be the fundamental academic reform of the Jackalone administration. The result- was a pilot survey (some of the results of which an in appear advertisement in this issue) and an unpublished SCATE, unpublished because the University administration did not fund publication and no funds for publication were allocated in the SA budget. Sources involved in the SCATE project say it started almost from scratch and that the efforts by former Academic Affairs Coordinator Bob Kole were not very helpful in developing a revised, convenient course and teacher evaluation. “It’s come a long way,” one person close to SC ATE’s development said. Money matters students opposed it. Still, some say the Jackalone administration put unusual effort into its opposition. The Colleges Chartering chaired by Pamela Benson, was the main device through which the Jackalone administration fought for what one source described as an “orderly retreat” on the issues of educational innovation that the Colleges precipitated. While the final settlement was sometimes considered less than satisfactory. Committee, The Jackalone administration’s financial administration has been called a success by many different observers. One of the few political breaks it had in the rough early going was the establishment of a good working relationship with Treasurer Sal Napoli, a member of the Burrick ticket. Deficit spending came to an end the Jackalone in administration, and the long-standing budget deficit first attacked by former Treasurer Ken linker at the cost of most of SA’s reserve fund, was eliminated. “Overbudgeting,” the practice of above budgeting expenses the revenue on anticipated —continued on oage 10— Negotiations to secure academic hospital space Negotiations to secure the use of academic hospital space for health science students, which are currently underway between the School of Medicine at this University and Buffalo area hospitals, have attracted the attention of Erie County legislators. At a meeting of county and state lawmakers. Assemblyman William Hoyt (D., Erie) said that of the four health science schools in the State University of New York (SUNY) system, only Buffalo relies exclusively on affiliated hospitals to provide clinical programs. He added that “University hospitals in Syracuse, Stony Brook and Brooklyn enjoy huge state subsidies each year, while the only state assistance this University receives is in the form of a number of physician salaries, and dentists receiving joint county-state salaries.” The Health Sciences Center at this University has for years conducted their student clinical programs at local hospitals that have completely donated the use of their facilities. The University has had such affiliations with the Veteran’s Administration Hospital, Meyer Memorial, Buffalo General and Buffalo Children’s Hospitals, with limited programs at Deaconess and South Buffalo Mercy Hospitals. Financial obligation If the Medical School is to maintain its accreditation, which will be reviewed in the fall of 1975, the official hospital affiliation plans should be in effect by then, according to F. Carter Pannill, Vice President for Health Sciences. The last review by the Middle States Accreditation Association William Hoyt was three years ago, at which time the University was advised to to take action to secure state assistance, he said. At that time Food surveys available Copies of this month’s Mini-Market Survey are now available in the NYPIRG office, Room 311 Norton Hall. Compiled by Craig Colton and Stephanie Lindner, the survey is an update of the food price survey that appeared in The Spectrum last November. The Acme and Twin Fair supermarkets in the Boulevard Mall have been included for the benefit of students living on the Amherst Campus. No significant price increases were reported in those markets previously surveyed with the exception of Wonder Bread, which rose $. 13 in the last six months. Sugar, which peaked at close to $3.00 per five-pound bag, is now selling for as low as $2.39. Iceberg lettuce may also prove a good buy; it dropped $.25 at one store surveyed. A follow-up scheduled for next month will be expanded to include prices at the North Buffalo Food Co-op. NYPIRG will also be releasing a Banking and Loan and a Drug Price survey in the near future. Further information is available from Craig Colton at 831-2715. President Ketter proposed plans for state support of the health science programs at this University. He has since assigned the task of trying to alleviate the problem to Dr. Pannill. “The most important point in this issue is for the state to recognize this unique situation [in Buffalo) and now meet its financial obligation” to support the Health Science programs. Dr. Pannill asserted. The Medical School has presented detailed plans for the use of academic hospital space. The area hospitals are now studying the proposals and a response is expected soon. When an affiliation agreement is reached, the plans go to Albany for revision by the Governor’s office. Governor Hugh Carey has “admitted” to the state’s obligation to carry its share of the burden but indicated that no state r | monies would be appropriated until the affiliation agreements were settled. In the Governor’s proposed SUNY budget, however, the four health science centers received the largest increases in funding. If the affiliation plans are approved by the Governor, they go to the state legislature for final passage. Dr. Pannill expects a final decision by May. Assemblyman Hoyt pointed out that “significant costs are being paid by Erie County taxpayers in supporting the other university hospitals in the state,” and “we are not receiving an equivalent investment of our tax dollars on a local basis.” Passport/Application Photos UNIVERSITY PHOTO 355 Norton Hall Tues., 3 photos for $3 ($.50 per additional, KEN LOUNGE 1037 Kensington Ave. at Bailey MONDAY NITE 8 pm - 1 am - 4 Bud or Schmidts splits $1.00 ■ TUESDAY NITE I I Wed., Thurs.: lOa.m —5 p.m - 8 pm - 3 shot schnapps $1.00 1 am Rhine win* 40c Screwdrivers 50c Schnapps 40c Anisette (white) 40c I I PITCHER OF BEER $1.50 Fish Fry Fridays - 836-9230 Monday, 24 March 1975 .

Page three �HEW report shows decline in Right to drink is still controversial reading scores but better skills Although 18-year olds have been considered adults in most legal matters since the passage of the 26th Amendment, one of these adult rights the right to and consume buy liquor remains controversial. Across the country, student efforts to obtain alcohol on campus have met with mixed results. Some students still are not permitted to possess alcohol anywhere, while others can have liquor in their dorm rooms and lounges. On the dry end of the scale are states like Pennsylvania, where eighteen year olds are not allowed to possess or consume alcohol. But they are allowed to own bars or work at bartenders. Other states, even if they have lowered the drinking age to 18 or 19, do not permit liquor to be sold on “school property,” and universities are usually classified as such by the courts. - — In Minnesota, a bill that would have exempted the state university from this classification was narrowly defeated amid fears that grant and student loan monies would be spent on liquor. In Austin, the University of Texas was more successful, and is now allowed to serve beer and wine in its student union. It is still attempting to obtain a mixed drinks license, however. Finally, in Nebraska, fears that the 19-year old drinking age could not be enforced on campuses with a large population of 17 and 18-year olds have prevented liquor from being allowed on campuses there. • These isolated cases, however, are rapidly becoming the exception rather than the rule. According to a 1973 survey of 429 U.S. colleges by the University of Rhode Island, one-fourth of those surveyed served alcohol on campus, and another fourth revealed that they were considering it. One of the most liberal states in this area is New York, where alcohol is permitted to be sold and kept in dorm rooms. The problems reported here, and in other liberal states, have not been senous. Legal action At one school, the local bartenders’ association is threatening legal action because “business has been suffering” since the sale of liquor began on the campus. Other difficulties have been the usual “noisy party” problems protecting the rights of those who drink, and those who don’t, and in some cases slight property damages. - According to statistics, the recent rise in alcohol abuse by college-age students is not tracable to the increases in availability. The rate is rising even on campuses where alcohol is not permitted. Although most students seem to be taking the new freedom in stride, using it in a mature manner, the new laws have done little but sanction practices which have already been going on for some time. But one administrator said that a very positive thing has come of the new liberality with more college students liquor with drinking problems have been able to obtain counseling on their campuses, which they could not before. — A soon to be released report, compiled by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW), has found a noticeable decline in the reading ability of American school children since the middle of the last decade. Despite these findings, children today have better skills than their contemporaries of the 1950’s and earlier periods. coming This HEW sponsored research project amid a national debate on scholastic achievement will be instrumental in determining whether students are learning as well today as they have in the past. The 164-page document States that American education seems to be “improving,” and that anyone who says that he knows that literacy is decreasing is a vefy unsure person.” During the past ten years, however, there has been “a slight negative trend” in reading achievement, the report stated, although researchers have labeled these findings “extremely tentative.” Since 1965, there has also been “a temporary dip in a trend that is upward overall,” according to Roger Farr, the Indiana University reading authority who headed the HEW project. Dr. Farr and his associates compiled the report using data from other research findings, publishers’ records on changes in test norms, readability levels of children’s books, military inductees’ examination results, census reports and scores in citywide and statewide testing programs. — - Results decline Some critics point to the decline in high school Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) results as evidence that schools are emphasizing the basics less but the report maintains that overall reading scores have generally risen despite factors that might reduce them. Because less children are dropping out of school, the test group at each age is younger and includes the performance of “slow” children who ordinarily would have been exempt from the normal testing. Some observers blame the decline in reading ability on the poor test performance of urban children, but these scores are offset by higher test results in suburban schools, the report claimed. This trend was exactly the opposite in the days when middle-class families lived primarily in the cities and lower income families resided in rural areas. “The poor readers are just in different places now,” Dr. Farr stated.” “Poor readers read better than poor readers used to and today’s good readers 2 DAYS ONLY This Wed. and Thurs. W.N.Y. Premier - read better than good readers used to. The average has gone up.” As proof of this, the report said so many students were scoring above average that the manufacturers had to re-norm the reading tests. This itself has contributed to an increase in reading averages. In a number of instances, the questions on the tests are now more difficult than ever before. “For example, the skills being asked of five-year-olds on the Metropolitan Readiness Test are much more sophisticated today,” Dr. Farr maintained. Although reading averages have improved, the report offers no explanation for this upward trend. Dr. Farr attempted to give several reasons, which include children remaining in shcool longer than ever before, better and a wider variety of reading materials, improved teaching techniques and childrne bringing wider experiences to their reading. Unlike those teachers and parents who feel that children read less because of constant television viewing, Dr. Farr maintains that T.V. has “expanded the environment” of youngsters, giving them more information to bring to a reading situation. More exposure “It is hard to read a story about a farm if you’ve never seen one and don’t know what a farm is,” he said, “but television has exposed childrne to more things. There are some bad aspects to television, though, such as detracting from entertainment reading.” Some weaknesses in the report stem from a scarcity of the score data covering long periods for individual school systems. Seventeen of the 27 largest schools in the country returned the questionnaires and a mere seven of these responded to requests for summary data. About 70 smaller school districts made this data available. “It is clear that despite a multimillion-dollarper year business, there are surprisingly few longitudinal and easily accessible records on the performance of childrne,” the report states. “Though one can easily find cabinets full of test scores in virtually every school system in the country, these sources generally turn out to contain little information relevant to the issue of the longitudinal monitoring of performance. The absence of substantial data tracing and comparing student performance over periods of time has also apparently upset educational researchers. 3 SHOWS!!!

The tickets had previously been exempt from the sales tax because of the rental tax the theater owners had to pay to the film-producer-distributors. The new sales tax was proposed to help meet some outstanding state debts in the current budget. These include extensions on unemployment benefits and continuation of social service and education programs. State Assemblymen and Senators who oppose the tax have been asked to devise alternative plans for meeting the budget. Kallye Latimer, aid to Governor Hugh Carey, said various state agencies are also studying new areas that might be taxed. Republican support Thus far, Republicans have viewed the movie tax unfavorably, while Democrats have not yet made a commitment in their correspondence with the New York State Motion Picture Theater Tax Committee (NYSMPTTC), a lobbying group of motion picture theater owners and employees. By contacting student groups and senior citizens, they hope to get them to write their state legislators and circulate petitions. They believe the bill can be defeated at the state level but fear the city may levy a tax regardless of what Albany does. The state and several cities now impose a sales tax on film rentals. The state tax is four percent. In New York City, it is four percent, and in Buffalo, three percent. The only state If the sales tax proposal is ratified, New York will become the only state with the double tax. the NYSMPTTC is afraid this will lead to a decline in motion picture attendance. This predicted decline in movie attendance may lead to Jhe closing of motion picture theaters and further unemployment. Additionally, many fear the closing of motion picture theaters will depress the surrounding area, reducing business at shopping centers, restaurants, gas stations and small shops. Movie theaters are faced with higher costs for fuel, salaries, maintenance and real estate taxes. Although 1974 was a successful year for the motion picture industry as a whole, the profits have gone to producers and distributors like Paramount, Warner Brothers and Universal. Equal rights by Andrew Sacks Staff Writer Spectrum A College B instructor withdrew charges of criminal trespassing against a former student of his at pre-trial hearings in Clarence Center courthouse Wednesday night. The instructor, Jonathan Ketchum, had sworn out a warrant last December for the arrest of Mark Dratell, a tenant of Ketchum’s, at Oakstone Farm last summer for second degree criminal trespassing. The alleged trespass occurred after Mr. Dratell entered Oakstone Farm on the evening of December 15, accompanied by Richard Jove, another student then living at the farm. According to Mr. Ketchum, the two threatened and harassed him over payment of back rent. Mr. Drattel claimed that the two discussed the financial situation until Mr. Ketchum lost his temper, asked him to leave and threatened to call the sheriff if he didn’t. At that point, Mr. Drattel went into an adjoining apartment and had dinner with the tenants there. He was arrested on the trespassing charge February 6. Unusual charge Mr. Drattel’s attorney William Reich said “It would be extremely difficult to sustain an allegation of criminal trespassing” since his client had been accompanied by a legal occupant of the premise. Because the alleged harassment was only a single occurrence, District Attorney Manny Wirtsman concurred Mr. Ketchum would be hard pressed to show any “malicious intent” in Mr. Drattel’s actions. Finally, both Mr. Reich and Mr. Wirtsman noted that the delay in pressing charges had weakened Mr. Ketchura’s case, suggesting, as Mr. Reich put it, that he “was trying to use the courts as a protective agency rather than an institution for deciding right and wrong.” After conferring with the district attorney ThQrsday, Mr. Ketchum withdrew the charges. He explained that the DA. advised him of the “problems of separating civil and criminal charges.” Simple deduction The rent in question was for the summer of 1974, when Mr. Drattel lived at Oakstone Farm and took a course in philosophy there with Mr, Ketchum. Both men agreed that Mr. Drattel owes $164 rent, but the latter charged that his instructor Female worker gets same pay as male (CPS) Should a female social worker who performs essentially the same tasks as male clinical psycholigists be paid the same rate? Jane Thompson, a social worker, thought so two years ago when she filed a sex discrimination complaint against her employer, Rhode Island’s Brown University. In an unanimous decision announced late in February, the Rhode Island Commission for Human Rights agreed with Ms. Thompson, ruling that the nature of work performed and not the educational qualifications of the workers was the determining factor in salary scales. The Commission recommended that all state funds to Brown, totalling more than $700,000 a year, be withheld until the University raises Thompson’s current salary and awards compensation for unequal back pay. - A rose by “Thompson should be paid for what she does,” the Commission said. “Simply giving her a different title when she does the same work does not warrant different pay.” The Commission found that Brown relied on “assumed differences in training” between Thompson and the male psychologists based on educational degree backgrounds. “We find all of these people well trained and while differently skilled, all similarly skilled and all similarly useful to the University,” the Commission said. Despite the Commission’s definitive ruling, the final outcome of the matter is uncertain. Unless the governor chooses to act upon them, the Commission’s recommendation to withhold state funds remains merely a recommendation. Ms. Thompson’s options are to wait for the governor to act, refile her complaint under a new law giving the Human Rights Commission additional enforcement power, or file a civil suit in federal court. —Lester Mark Dratell had violated a verbal agreement that would have enabled him to save $100 summer session tuition by registering for the summer course the next fall. Mr. Drattel argues that since Mr. Ketchum cost him $100 by violating the agreement, the rent he owes should be only $64. Mr. Ketchum acknowledged that he has made similar deals with other students, emphasizing they are not, to his knowledge, illegal or contrary to University policy. He admitted offering the delayed registration option to Mr. Drattel but claimed that the student did not act upon this option and registered for the summer session anyway. Mr. Ketchum is considering a civil suit to try and force Mr. Drattel to pay the full rent.

I wish to comment upon a letter from two Plainview residents which appeared in your issue of March 3. Those two complain tan ts, who thought the mention of their hometown in your fine cartoon “Superrunt’’ wa's slanderous, are fellow editors of mine here at SUNY Stony Brook. In THIS newspaper office we are continually barraged with information on the social, political and cultural significance of Plainview. While 1 have never been to the damn place, I’m certain its a dive. But all seriousness aside, I am certain that Mssrs. Budiansky and Alzamora did fine justice to this community boasting ten expressway exits and a McDonald’s stand. 1 am sure that Plainview is full of the sort of people they describe in No. 55, “Student Discovers JAP.” As for Salant and Saks, they are obviously too thin-skinned about their hometown. 1 myself am from Brooklyn, which is home to Coney Island, the Ex Lax Factory, and four of New York’s five Mafia families. If someone insults my hometown, 1 don’t write a nasty letter. I blow their fucking head off! In any case, “Superrunt” is one of the finest college cartoons I’ve read, and The Spectrum in general ranks far above most college papers. Keep it up and keep quacking. Jayson "Quack” Wechter Columnist and former Feature!Arts Director Stony Brpok Statesman Incorrect spelling To the Editor. I find it very distrubing that your staff does not take the time to proofread and make corrections concerning peoples’ names printed in The Spectrum. Within the past two months my name has been spelled incorrectly five out of six times. Granted it might be difficult for some individuals to pronounce but this does not give you the right to mutilate its proper spelling! It’s only a common courtesy to make sure a person’s name is written correctly if you decide to put it in print. A few simple checks can end your little name guessing game. I am bringing this to your attention not only for my satisfaction, but I feel I am not the only victim of your staffs ineptness. In the future I hope your staff, as well as yourself, will be more courteous and respectful to every individual, especially those whose names have ethnic backgrounds. - Cindy Palczynski A member of your staff was made aware of P.S. the misspelling the first time the mistake was made.

Within the next eighteen months Captain Kirk and Spock will once again be having their atoms scattered in and around the many “M” class planets in our universe. For within this time. Star Trek will with many reappear as a full-screen motion picture of the original cast once more battling the Romulins and Klingons. And if the movie is a success (meaning if it makes money for Paramount Studios) there is a good chance that the series will return to the blob tube and with it a chance for all of us to turn dreams — into reality, if only just for 60 minutes a week. For the many disbelieving Star Trek fans who my information have heard rumors like this before - comes from Gene Roddenberry, executive producer and writer of the series. And if enough people ask, possibly Speakers Bureau can- and will invite Mister Roddenberry to UB to present his lecture program as he did at Elmira College during this past “Easter” vacation.

I have one question that I sincerely hope Mr. Boyar will undertake to answer. Exactly what, Mr. Boyar, did you mean when you wrote, “She should seem like someone from Panic Theater, she does seem like someone from Panic Theater, and coincidentally, she has played in Panic Theater ?" Mr. Boyar, I, and I’m sure all of Panic Theater, eagerly await your response. Scott M. Feigelstein President, Panic Theater GSEU corrections To the Editor: Two errors appeared in the March 21 issue of The Spectrum dealing with budget cutbacks and the faculty, non-teaching professional and graduate assistant unions’ response. Although the cutbacks are already heavy, not all departments have yet laid off all their summer graduate staff. In addition, the already proposed job losses for next year (50-150) apply to all jobs in this University and not just those of faculty and graduate assistants. Clerical, service and maintenance jobs are on the line as well. As The Spectrum articles of Friday made clear, thf University administration has not and are now forbidden to adequately respond to the present budget cutbacks and even more serious possible ones. Our strength is in the unity of our unions and student associations. GSEU Steering Committee �Assembly remarks distorted To the Editor, Levinson’s proposal. The intent of my remarks was to quell the laughter and circus-like atmosphere which the Assembly put forth in response to Mr. Levinson’s proposal. I thought then, as 1 do now, that the Student Assembly should not viciously mock the sincere proposal of a fellow student. Mr. Colucci’s quote of me implies that I was endorsing Mr. Levinson’s proposal. I was not endorsing it. I was merely urging the Assembly to be fair enough to consider it, rather than laughing at it and its sponsor. Thus, my related remarks were distorted. — In his article on the last SA meeting, Clem Colucci’s four word quote of my remarks distorted the major point of my comments to the Assembly. I did not endorse Michael Levinson’s proposal by saying that his idea “was not so crazy.” What I said at that meeting was that Mr. Levinson’s proposal was no more outrageous than many bills enacted by the Assembly. As an example I cited the Assembly’s allocaiton of $500 for one student to participate in a judo tournament. Additionally, I prefaced my remarks to the Assembly by expressing .my doubts about Mr. Robert Cohen Guest Opinion by H.R. Wolf In a first Guest Opinion (Feb. 21), I outlined a need for “an intellectual and moral identity, an idea for this university.” In a second Guest Opinion (March 5), I argued for a School of Basic Education that would embody “a concept ofgeneral education. ” Neither of these ideas is new: precedents for both can be found in the Hypocritical about sexism To the Editor. to lure us is both “Pretty Waitresses” discriminatory and offensive. Having been in the restaurant business myself for many years, I would think the terms efficiency and politeness much more important and certainly more appropriate for a presumably intelligent, aware University paper. In addition, I was quite amused upon noticing the placement of an article right above this ad concerning the implantation of sex roles/attitudes in — Glaring through your Wednesday March 19th edition of The Spectrum, I was suddenly taken aback by your use of blatant tastelessness and unabashed promotion of sexism. I am referring to the advertisement for “X” restaurant, which stooped pretty low in order to solicit the University community’s business. The ad speaks about its fantastic specials, great atmosphere, etc. And unfortunately excluded the fact that they employ “Pretty Waitresses.” The use of this bait society. It struck me as being both very hypocritical and thoughtless on your part. children of our - Debra Fine Classical and Renaissance worlds and in the history of humane education in our own country. If there is anything novel about either notion, it is a result of our subscribing to “salvation by technology” and the Myth of the Machine for over half a century. I was aware in both articles, as I am now, of the illusory quality of flicking a few humanistic ideas into the pin-ball of the University. Still, I am impelled to round out my educational invention by proposing here a program for the postulated School ofBasic Education. For practical and theoretical reasons, I proposed in the second Guest Opinion a student body of 100, a faculty of 20, and forty-eight credit hours over two years in three areas. These areas would be; Life Science, Justice, and Communication. Life Science: The inherited misdirection and terrors-of applied science and technology in our time (Nazism, Guernica) are all too clear (see Lewis Mumford, “Reflections,” The New Yorker, March 10,1975) as are the threats to the individual, the environment and the bio sphere. If scientific method, history, and procedure can be taught in the context of life-enhancing perspectives and values, we would all benefit; we would all begin to move in a healthier, more ethical space. Justice: Despite its attic appeal, no issue of society or curriculum can be more pressing, enduring, or complex than the theory, history, and facts of justice and injustice of economic, political, religious and racial injustice. No one issue defines more broadly and factually the terms of our future, the clouded terms of a possible future. No one alive today has not lived through, or been touched by, a war between groups alleging injustice; nor can anyone living now imagine a world without war (civil, national, and international) if the large questions of justice and injustice are not raised and faced. Communication: I would prefer not to use a word which has become a code name for the merely technological drift of contemporary theories of language, art, and media. But no other ordinary word in its root meaning so economically encompasses the symbolic modes of animal and human exchange; from spoken and written language to cybernetics; from the ritual dance behavior of bee to Martha Graham; from seeing as a physiological and neural event to judging the films of Chaplin. No other word encompasses so well the basic needs of all organisms (beginning with cells) to express their existence in a social context; and the concomitant need for the community and system to express its structure, values and history to the individual. By analyzing the structure and theory of communication, we will be able to include high and low culture, ancient and modem texts, scientism and aestheticism in our curriculum some of the prevailing dualisms of the present moment. This briefly sketched Basic Education of Life Science, Justice and Communication resembles, of course, the existing divisions of Science and Technology, Social Sciences, and Humanities. The new program imagines however, a way for us to make our way towards survival, stability and understanding. If not a “unitary principle” (see “The Rehabilitation of Natural Philosophy,” The Nation Feb. 22, 1975), this trio of courses establishes a context (a limited, but related, group of intellectual disciplines) supportive of unified blinking; the kind of thinking exemplified by Lewis Mumford, Lewis Thomas, John Rawls, and Gerald Holton. The proposed curriculum for the School of Basic Education is modest in its demands for credits and would not prevent a student from fulfilling the present distribution requirements. A version of the basic program would look like this: — - Right to run To the Editor. Garry Wills’ column about George Wallace’s ability to run for President demands comment. While the article may indded repreesnt the majority opinion with regard to the disabled population, it is nevertheless a prime example of a pervasive prejudice. The tacit assumption that disabled implies helplessness is erroneous. The fact that Roosevelt engaged in a coverup of his physical limitations was not a malevolent limiting of the press, rather, it was a practical repsonse to an unrealistic ideal of a physically strong leader held by the American public. When Mr. Wills states that the impoosibility of such a coverup today precludes Mr. Wallace from holding office, he is implying that the public is unwilling to accept leadership from a wheelchair. Why does Mr. Wills feel that the job is physically impossible for a person in a wheelchair? He states that Roosevelt required special ramps wherever he went. It is sad that “special” ramps are built only for the President; the fact that such essential services are not available to everyone is a blight on our society. Are we to exclude a person from the highest office because of an inability to stand at a podium? Suppose we do accept the argument that a person in a wheelchair should not be allowed to serve as President. Where do we draw line line? Can such a person go as high as Vice President? Should we limit him to the Senate? Maybe we can keep him should we in the state legislature? Better yet declare such a person unable to hold public office at all? Why stop at that? Should a disabled person be allowed to run a corporation? These are all questions that follow if we accept the logic of Mr. Wills argument. We feel it is unfortunate that clearcut political — issues are clouded by such an irrevalent bias. While we do not support Mr. Wallace, we do support his right to run for office in or out of a wheelchair! — Bob Drummer Todd Mendell — First Year Semester One Theory ofLife Process Theory of Justice Communication Theory Semester Two Scientific Method History of Justice Ancient Aesthetics Second Year: Evolution Economics Renaissance Culture Biosphere Religious and racial freedom Linguistics and Media Leftist divisions To the Editor. On March 4, Meir JCahane, reactionary Zionist and leader of the hooligan JDL spoke at U.B. His appearance was met by a picket-line composed of supporters of the Revolutionary Student Brigade (RSB) and the Spartacus Youth League (SYL). The SYL has a long history of opposition to the JDL and the Zionist aggression it defends. We have initiated demonstrations in defense of the Israeli left, against the butcher Moshe Dayan, and in favor of the right of self-determination of the Palestinian nation. However, unlike the RSB, we have consistently pointed out that the Palestinians will never receive their rights from the reactionary Arab sheiks and capitalists. Just as do the Zionists, the Arab regimes seek to expand their own territories at the expense of the Palestinians. Additionally, the SYL recognizes the right to self-determination of the Hebrew-speaking nation. The counterposed rights of these nations can be resolved only through the workers and peasants, both Arab and Hebrew, turning their guns against their own class enemies and through the establishment of a socialist federation of the Near East. No Jew against Arab, but class against class. Unable to stomach the revolutionary Marxist analysis of the SYL, the RSB attempted to exclude us from the picket-line. Chagrined at their failure to keep us out, they resorted to petty harrassment and abject sectarianism. The RSB refused to join the SYL chants of “Red and brown, black and white, workers of the world unite!” and “Smash anti-semitism through socialist revolution!” Their disgusting behavior only once again exposes the crass betrayals of the RSB, and their total inability to even approximate a revolutionary role. Only the Trotskyists of the SYL offer a program that can lead the international - Many details would have to be worked out; how, for instance, these courses could be taught with a proper balance of theory and practice, of general and specific emphasis; how each of the three areas might bear the impress of the others. But these are not formidable problems. The courses 1 have suggested here are guidelines, rather than dicta , and I am sure others who share some of my thinking will have instructive criticisms to make.

Spartacus Youth League ■. %9^ 5 ' en �Results of the newly-revised Student Course and Teacher Evaluation (SCATE) survey taken last semester have been compiled by the Student Association (SA). Designed to alleviate the problems encountered with the Analysis of Courses and Teaching (ACT) used in the past years, the “pilot survey” was conducted on an experimental basis to determine its quality and effectiveness. “Considering it was only a pilot survey, we arc very satisfied with the results and are prepared to institute SCATE on a permanent basis this semester,” Academic Affairs Coordinator Dave Shapiro said. Although the complete results of the survey will not be published due to its experimental nature, statistics from some of the “key questions” appear below. Pilot survey labelled success; to be used on permanent basis According to SA President Michele Smith and Mr Shapiro, SA is willing to assume the bulk of the expense and work in running SCATE. They insist, however, on the cooperation of the Administration to ensure that the various academic departments participate in the program. “If Dr. Ketter and the Administration are truly concerned with the quality of education at this University, they’ll cooperate,” by Howard Greenblatt Spectrum Staff Writer STUDENT ASSOCIATION’S TEACHING EXCE PAID FOR BY STUDENT ASSOCIATION Student Association instituted a Student Course and Teacher Evaluation questionnaire in the Fall '74 semester. This evaluation was meant to be merely a pilot survey in order to establish a student administrative body familiar with the prqcess of administering the questionnaire; and also to evaluate the questionnaire itself. The following departments participated in Student Association's pilot survey project; Management Occupational Therapy Geology Art History Classics Political Science Medical Technology Mathematics Germanic & Slavic Pharmacy Physics & Astronomy Psychology Spanish Sociology Statistics Biology Faculty of Engineering Chemistry Geography Speech Communication & Applied Sciences . Black Studies, Economics, French and Management also participated but due to this being the first student administered evaluation, we felt these departments were not adequately represented in the final survey. Student Association is appreciative of those faculty members that are concerned about their teaching effectiveness and choose to participate with the student evaluations. Student Association also feels that teaching excellence should be recognized. Therefore, Student Association is publishing what it considers the highest rated course(s) and instructor(s) in each department. - - It must be noted that the following are the results of a statistical analysis of four (4) subjective questions and that these questions provide no absolute answers. It must also be noted that the student evaluation process is not an absolute measure of true teaching effectiveness. Rules for evaluation: All courses with less than ten (10) responses were not used. In some instances, an instructor, or instructors, were sufficiently impressive in teaching large classes (50+) that S.A. recognized teaching excellence in a large class. The questions used were No.'s 35, 37, 38, 39 of the S.C.A.T.E. questionnaire; with No.'s 37 and 38 weighing most heavily.

Ms. Smith pointed out that Dr. Ketter listed his own recommendations for SCATE in a letter to former Academic Affairs Coordinator Mark Humm. Although the letter appeared to be written in a spirit of cooperation and enthusiasm, “it was full of subtitles and Put yourself in their place,” he said. important issue “SCATE is our number one priority this year,” Ms. Smith said. “It’s really the University’s responsibility,” she claimed, “but we’re willing to do the work ourselves.” ambiguities,” she explained. Particularly troublesome to Ms. Smith and Mr. Shapiro is a clause in Dr. Ketter’s proposal which states that “upon review, [SCATE] results would be made available to departments and to the SA for their publication should they wish.” The words “upon review” and “should they wish” seem to imply that.if for any reason the various departments or Administration find the results troublesome, they would have the authority not to publish them, Ms. Smith explained. Ms. Smith and Mr. Shapiro will respond to Dr. Ketter’s proposals in the near future, and they are confident that these “touchy areas” can be worked out. President Ketter was unavailable for comment, but Executive Vice President Albert Somit indicated that the issue was not yet resolved. “To the extent that you want the Past history The University’s commitment to teacher evaluation was endangered last year when the existing ACT survey was criticized by both the Faculty Senate and the Administration. When a revised ACT plan was subsequently proposed, Dr. Ketter announced that the University would not be able to provide the necessary funding, and recommended that the evaluation process be undertaken on an individual departmental basis. Attempting to produce “an effective, unified and accurate evaluation of course and teacher quality,” Mr. Humm and SCATE coordinator Karen Cunningham formulated the pilot survey. A committee made up of students, faculty and administration has been established to review the feedback and improve the survey for use in future years. ...

Mr. Brueggen is largely credited for the immense interest in the recorder today. Along with fifty recordings of his own, he has researched, edited, published and even commissioned works for the instrument. The program includes works by van Eyck, Hotteterre, Rameau, Peter Philips and J.S. Bach. Tickets for the concert, which will take place in the Mary Seaton Room, Kleinhans Music Hall, are available at the Norton Hall box office. Remaining tickets will be available at Kleinhans an hourbefore the show.

A: GRE refers to the Graduate Record Examination, a test (or series of tests) which is required by almost all schools for entrance into graduate school. The test or tests are administered by ETS, Educational Testing Service, at various locations around the United States, including SUNYAB. Applications for the GRE are available at the Testing Center on the third floor of Harriman Library. There is a fee required for the tests offered under this program and this fee can be waived under certain circumstances. For a GRE fee waiver you must got to the Financial Aids Office on the third floor of Tower Hall. The criteria for receiving the fee waiver are; (1) that you have a financial aids application already on file with the Financial Aids Office; (2) that you be already receiving financial aid from the University; and (3) that the expected parental contribution to your educational expenses be zero (in other words, that you be in the lower income brackets). For more information and fee waiver forms, see Mr. Clarence Connors at the Financial Aid Office. Q: If one desires to leave his body, after death, to the University, whom does one contact? A: The Anatomy Department in the School of Medicine is the place to contact for this. The number to call is 831-2912. If you also want to donate your eyes for comeal transplants, call the Buffalo Eye Comeal Service (2250 Main Street) at 835-8725. Q: Are there any special grants from which a student may receive an emergency loan? A: The only thing that did exist on the University campus was the Capen Loan Fund and that dried up a few years ago because of a lack of repayment of loans. Since then, there has been no emergency loan fun4 on the campus. Some efforts have been made in the past two years to resurrect the Loan Fund, but alf of them have proved unsuccessful. Q: What are the qualifications for Phi Beta Kappa and how do you apply for it? A: There is a local chapter (Omicron Chapter) of Phi Beta Kappa on campus. Students may present their own credentials to the chapter for consideration. There are only two times when this may be done: (1) at the end of the fifth semester (80-96 letter grade hours completed) with an overall CPA of 3.60 or better; and (2) at the end of the seventh semester (112 letter grade hours or better) with an overall GPA of 3.40 or better. Grades of “S” are ignored. You should note that election to Phi Beta Kappa is limited to students who are undergraduates majoring in the traditional liberal arts area. Students from Engineering, Nursing, Pharmacy, Education, Social Welfare and the like should not apply. These areas have their own honorary societies. If you feel that you qualify for this distinction, you are requested to send a letter (do not telephone) to Dr. Leslie Barnette, Secretary of Omicron Chapter, at 4230 Ridge Lea Campus (Department of Psychology) providing him with the indicated information. You should als6 request that the Office of Admissions send to Dr. Barnette an official copy of your transcript. Q: The library has a $20.00 fine if you forget to bring books back at the end of the semester. Isn’t this kind of expensive? A: It looks like it until you know all the facts. First of all, our library is very lenient in allowing students to take out books for the entire semester. Most universities and colleges have a much shorter period. Secondly, this is about the only way in which to insure that books are returned at the end of the semester. Even with this high fine, many books are not returned, and it costs the University somewherebetween $60,000 and $80,000 just to replace books not returned, lost, Journalist killed in Vietnam Saigon SAIGON (LNS) police shot and killed a French journalist March 14 after he refused to reveal his sources for an anti-Saigon government' article he had just written. - According to Saigon police, Paul Leandri, a correspondent for was Presse, Agence France “accidentally killed” when he police away drove from headquarters where he was summoned for questioning. Police claim they fired two warning shots in the air and three at the tires of his car and that one of these accidentally killed Leandri. Other reports indicate that more than three shots were fired at the car. These reports note there were bullet holes in the front and back of the car as well as through the front and back Car crash Police started running after him, fired and killed him. Leandri’s car crashed into the main gate of the headquarters, and when the French consul arrived 90 minutes later, his body was still lying in the car. government The French instructed Ambassador Merillon to protest the conditions in which Paul Leandri was summoned by the authorities and the way he died. And labor unions at Agence France Presse published a joint statement in which Mr. Leandri’s death was described as an by “assassination the less people “These are vulnerable because they are so public,” he said. “And yet there has been a recently, crackdown by the police against some of these legislators too r forcing them to go into hiding or take evasive measures. “Assassinations don’t happen very often just out in the street,” Mr. Spragens continued. “There are other ways to harass people — coming and intimidate them around and questioning their families, or following them all the — time, or arresting them.”' Spragens noted that estimates of the number of people held in Saigon jails run in excess of 200,000.

Saigonese corruption Leandri, who died instantly from a bullet wound in the head, had been summoned by the police in the past for questioning about articles he had written, specifically one about corruption in the Saigon police department. This time the article in question was about the battle of Bon Mi Thuot. In it Mr. Leandri quoted a priest, an eyewitness to the fighting, as saying that an attack against the city was a revolt Montagnard by anti-Saigon tribesmen joined by the National Liberation name of the priest. Apparently he refused, got very angry and walked out of the office and started to drive away. Front of South Vietnam. The government claims that Montagnards the are anti-communist and that North Vietnamese forces had mounted the assault. According to reports, Mr. Leandri was first summoned to the Immigration Office and then to the police station, where police tried to get him to reveal the “The responsibility of Saigon's authorities in this murder is total and inexcusable,” the unions said. They added that the incident calls for the “strongest condemnation by all journalists of a regime that still dares to claim it defends liberty.” Mr. Leandri’s wife told Saigon police that she was filing charges • of premeditated murder. Repression Repression by Saigon police is hardly something new but, in general, “journalists, especially felt journalists, have foreign themselves out of reach of the police,” explained John Spragens, a reporter just returned from South Vietnam. “In fact,” he added, “they generally are able to get away with things that ordinary people wouldn’t be able to do.” To some extent, Spragens added, this holds true of South Vietnamese opposition legislators and activists like Father Chan Thin of the Prison Committee.

Trying this case is like trying to put the French or American Revolution into a courtroom.” Across the hall the trials of Bernard Stroble (Shango) who is accused of murdering inmate Kenneth Hess, has —continued from page 1— been set for April 7. Despite the fact that four other men are accused of the joint deaths of Mr. Hess and Barry Schwartz, the prosecution has decided to try each of the defendants individually. Frank Smith (Big Black), Herbert Blyden and Roger Champen are not accused of directly murdering the two men, but of felony murder. A felony murder is often charged when a crime victim dies from shock or heart attack Mr. Smith, Mr. Blyden and Mr. Champen, members of the prison negotiating team, are accused of felony murder because the team ordered Messrs. Hess and Schwartz out of the prison yard after they spoke without permission to a news reporter.

Monday, 24 March 1975 by Brett Kline Staff Writer Spectrum �Baseball Bulls Upsets from South games by John Reiss Spectrum Mark Scarcella of the Heads dribbles by Scopacar Bob Fleming while Dirk Dugan looks on during Buffalo's intramural championship game three weeks ago. The Scopacers won but weren't as lucky in the extramural tournament among area colleges held in Clark hall last week. They lost 69-46 to a Buffalo State contingent. The Staters then defeated a team from Canisius, 107-73, in the finals. Grapplers eyeing a strong conference by Bruce Engel SpOrtt Editor Buffalo’s wrestling Bulls, the University’s best intercollegiate team over the last four years, niay compete next season in a playing conference along with five strong Pennsylvania schools. Athletic Director Harry Fritz has sent a letter to Walter Cummins, assistant athletic director at University of Pittsburgh, expressing an interest in the conference. Pittsburgh and Penn State initiated the effort and requested that Buffalo, Clarion State, Lock Haven State and Bloomsburg State join them as charter members. It is likely that all four schools made similar replies to Cummins. The six wrestling coaches met at Clarion yesterday. Pending approval Dr. Fritz was quick to point out that Buffalo’s final entrance would still require the approval of the Faculty Senate committee on athletics and the Administration. Wrestling coach Ed Michael reported that Dennis Delia, who as chairman of the Student Athletic Review Board, is Student Association’s liaison to the athletic department, supports the move. However, Administration input probably will not be coming for a few days. Executive Vice President Albert Somit was out of his office most of last week, had not heard about the possible conference and could not comment. Howard Tieckleman, Chairman of the Faculty Senate committee on athletics, knew only the basics about the conference, but was encouraged by the idea. “1 can’t see why the committee wouldn't support it,” he said. Both Fritz and Michael strongly support the conference set up, which would assure the Bulls of an alternating home and away series with each of the five schools. Two strong advantages to the conference simplified scheduling and reduced traveling costs. immediately arise All five schools are within 300 miles of Buffalo. “We wouldn t need to go to places like Maryland anymore,” said Michaels. “Penn State and Bloomsburg, the two farthest schools, are only five and a half and six hour rides, respectively. — Make some money In addition to reduced traveling and having five guaranteed matches, the conference opens the possibility for increased revenue. Michael feels that a big name like Penn State, whom the Bulls have never wrestled before, might draw a lot of people. More importantly, a conference tournament held in wrestling crazy Pennsylvania could be lucrative for all conference members. The strength of the teams themselves is a major attraction. Penn State, Clarion, and Buffalo were all in the top twenty in the nation this season and the others are not far behind. In fact the Bulls, who also defeated Clarion this season, beat Lock Haven by only one point. The conference would not be as strong at the top as the Big Ten or the Big Eight (the traditional wrestling powers) but it might be deeper in strong teams. Michael feels that if two other strong teams are eventaully added, from its the conference might get as many as four national qualifiers conference tournament. “A conference meet gives the wrestlers and the fans something to look forward to,” Michael said. Eight of Buffalo’s other intercollegiate teams will begin competing has in a Western New York Conference next fall and the hockey team would be But this a years. Two for several been in the ECAC’s Division first for wrestling, and it is a commitment Michael would enjoy making. Set a level “It would set a level for us to work towards,” he said. “All these something to teams are committed to a good program. It would be work at that is not unreasonable.” Buffalo’s strong reputation caused Pittsburgh and Penn State to seek out the Bulls, but basically the conference is a result of their leaving the ECAC and wanting to form new alliances. They have done a similar thing with their basketball programs. “We’re benefitting from their quest to get better,” said Michael. Staff Writer After one of their best seasons in history, the “new” baseball Bulls have returned from a disappointing two week trip to Florida. Buffalo lost nine of ten games and have come north with some big question marks. The pitching staff, which was thought to be the team’s strength when they left for Florida, had a pretty rough time. On the other hand, Buffalo’s hitting, previously considered weak, was excellent. Monkarsh, however, is playing down the team’s losing record and is quick to point out that they played some of the best collegiate teams in the nation. “Even with my best team ever,” Monkarsh said, “we won only three games in Florida. This year we were in every game, often losing by one or two runs.” Playing in Florida gave Monkarsh a better chance than he had had last fall to evaluate his team. This season, the Bulls were faced with the rask of replacing the entire infield. The Southern trip has accomplished that. New infield Sophomore Jack Kaminska, will be the Bulls’ this season. Kaminska displayed great hustle and has emerged as the team leader. Completing the double play combination with Kaminska will be freshman second baseman Mike Groh. Groh is an excellent hitter and had many key hits in Florida. A gifted and versatile fielder, Groh canplay both second and htird, and turns over the starting shortstop double play well. At first base will be righthanded slugging junior Bob Amico, who hit 432 in Florida. Third base is left to either senior Jim Zadora or junior Bruce Kaumeyer. The strong hitting Zadora, will definitely start somewhere. Kaumeyer, on the other hand, was a big surprise. Considered earlier to be the 26th man on a 25 man roster, he may have won himself a starting job. In evaluating his infield Monkarsh feels that his team is adequate offensively and has come a long way defensively. “The players are just getting to know each other,” he explained. Buffalo’s outfield is anchored by the awesome hitting of Rick Wolstenholme. Wolstenholme hit an amazing .513 in Florida and is being followed by many pro scouts. Junior Frank Presioso and freshman Mark Scarcello have good shots at the starting left and right field jobs. However, the exact make-up of the outfield is in doubt with the uncertainty of Zadora’s place and the possibility of junior Jim May breaking into the line-up. Good hitting Monkarsh feels it is crucial to get as much hitting as possible from his outfield. The club’s defense though, may suffer for this. Monkarsh considers the Bulls’ defensive outfield performance disappointing thus far. Catching should be a strong suit with sophomore Mike Dixon getting the starting job. Dixon shone defensively in Florida throwing out every runner who attempted to steal. Poor pitching The biggest disappointment of all was the pitching, even though most of the pitchers are upperclassmen who have proven themselves in the past. “The staff has outstanding potential,” Monkarsh explained. “However, the pitchers must each work out their own individual problems.” Overall, the Bulls strength seems to lie in their hit .311 as a team and were able to steal off every club. Buffalo should do a lot of stealing and hit and run this year. Summing up his team’s southern performance, Monkarsh said, “I’m disappointed but not discouraged. I had very high hopes in Florida and am encouraged by our hitting. If the pitching comes around we will be strong contenders for the hitting and team speed. They playoffs.” Delia: behind the sports scene by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer NOw that the battle of the athletic budget had been fought, Buffalo’s sports fans can once again direct their attention to which teams are winning and why. However, there is still a lot of work to be done behind the scenes. Much of it falls on sophomore Dennis Delia, newly appointed Chairman of the Student Athletic Review Board (SARB) “One of the things I would like to see accomplished is getting a different kind of publicity worked out on this campus,” said Delia. “So far, what we have hasn’t been very successful or comprehensuve. For example, if you asked the average student, he’s not going to know what teams exist, let alone what their schedule is.” One of Delia’s main criticisms has been directed at Sports Information Director Dick Baldwin. Delia claims that Baldwin has not done anything in the on-campus for “I’ve -been publicity. past commissioned by the Student Assemby to investigate the possibility of having students, either by committee or by appointment, work with Baldwin to let the students know what’s going on,” Delia said. Delia sent a letter to Baldwin asking for an appointment to discuss the matter. Baldwin replied that he could come in and talk at any time. However he won’t discuss specifics until he and Delia have a chance to meet. of chartering Blue Bird for road trips. From September to late February when Deha was appointed, the position of SARB Chairman was vacant. “I didn’t want to see a whole year go by without a SARB Chairman,” said Deha, a member of the wrestling team. It was definitely hurting the Athletic Department. The time without a SRAB Chairman caused a huge gap in communications, a huge amount of distrust (leading to the temporary freeing of the athletic budget) and successful or On-campus budget Delia also fought for money to be allocated in next year’s budget specifically for on-campus publicity, something which had not been done in previous budgets. Seventeen hundred dollars was approved for on-campus publicity, but so far, no definite plans have been made regarding its use. “I’d like to see The Spectrum get involved.” said Delia. “We could put ads in The Spectrum that owuld have when the events are.” He also pointed out that University Press could be contracted to print posters and game programs. Currently, game programs are printed by Grover Cleveland Press at a cost of $103 for each game. “I think they could cut the price by two-thirds if they went to University Press,” Delia noted. Another objective of SARB is to determine the feasibility of returning football to the Buffalo scene, on either club or a low intercollegiate level. Delia would also like to see if the Athletic Department could use vehicles owned by the University instead —Center Dennis Delia comprehensive. For example, if you asked the average nomination was vetoed by the SA, Delia applied for the job. Delia was glad to see a budget passed that was acceptable to most people, although the actual budget proposed by SARB was defeated. “It was significant because for the first time in a long time, the Athletic Department had a budget to work with before they had to commit the funds,” he remarked. “It’s a plus for both organizations, the Athletic Department and SA.” Monday, 24 March 1975 .

Mr. Sostre faces life possible imprisonment under New York’s “persistent offender” law because it was his third felony conviction. Supporters of Mr. Sostre will demonstrate in Plattsburg at the sentencing next week. iQi Buffalo as well as many other northern cities.” A spontaneous outburst erupted on Buffalo’s East Side in 1967, and Police Commissioner Frank Felicetta charged that Mr. Sostre was the leader. Although Mr. Sostre was initially accused of riot and arson, he was finally convicted of selling worth of heroin and $15 sentenced to a 25 to 30 year prison term. Many observers questioned the fairness of the 1967 trial, since the chief prosecution witness, Arto Williams, recanted his testimony after the trial. In a sworn statement, Mr. Williams has since claimed that his cooperation with police was obtained in exchange for leniency in a separate drug-related case. When Mr. Sostre appealed to the State Supreme Court, however, Judge John Curtin refused to overturn the conviction anyway. The case is now being appealed through federal courts. • ‘Jailjouse lawyer' Mr. Sostre has spent most of his seven years in prison in solitary confinement, including the last two and a half in Clinton State Prison, supposedly for refusing to shave off a quarter inch beard. However, his defense contends that the real reason is his militant defense of prisoners’ rights to be treated as human Martin Sostre beings.

This cutback means that library acquisitions, telephone and mimeo facilities will be cut, and that no graduate assistants will be hired for the Graduate Student Employees Union (GSEU) have attacked Governor Carey’s proposed budget for the State University and criticized the Ketter administration for dealing complacently with the cutbacks. The UUP’s “all-member alert,” signed by legislative Chairperson Dr. James Lawler, accused the the summer. The University will also lose either 50-150 faculty lines or 200—600 graduate assistants (or a combination of the two), according to the graduate student group. “Rather than actively resist cutbacks,” charged the GSEU, “the University management has accepted the governor’s budget and now turns to paring off what they would call ‘excess baggage’ generating “a climate of fear” by drawing up “contingency plans” that determine who will leave if further cuts are made. Rather than deciding this, Dr. Lawler said, the administration should spend its time fighting cutbacks. “If we spend our time worrying about who will cut whom, about which department or individual is most expendable,” said Dr. Lawler, “the present fears will be realized and we will be administration of — oiir jobs, our minority programs, our wages.” — instruments of that realization.” Dr. Lawler called on all UUP members to joing the statewide letter-writing campaign against education budget cuts now being carried out by the New York State United Teachers (NYSUT). The GSEU called for “an organized and unified professional staff, by faculty, nonprofessional staff and students to fight the Carey budgets through marches on the Capitol and similar means of protest. In addition, the GSEU endorsed the UUP-NYSUT letter-writing campaign and has Inflation The called on all members of the University to join in that effort. GSEU explained that although this effort” community SUN Y instructs Ketter not to fight for increases in budget by Richard Korman Despite anticipated cuts in services and personnel, the University will not ask for more money in Governor Carey’s proposed State University budget because SUNY has instructed President Robert Ketter not to request additional funds. The Spectrum has learned. Ketter had Dr. left the impression with many members of The State University at Buffalo is the University community that he would, at the very least, be able to fight the proposed cuts by negotiating with officials in the State Division of the Budget. But the State University now feels it would be expedient for him not to make further budget requests at this time, Dr. Ketter said in a telephone interview its request, which it expects to file in the near future, and with errors that were apparently made by the Divisioi of the Budget in preparing tht rest supplemental with now Campus Editor “one unit of a system,” he said, requests that for stressing additional funds must initially be made through the State University budget University’s library budget. Investigations of the library University cuts the by administration found that a study of libraries across the state, probably written by an outside consulting organization, failed to note the existence of a Health Wednesday. The proposed Executive Budget calls for savings of $336,000 by cutting 35 positions, five including extension and public service jobs, six dormitory administrators, eight faculty from the School of Nursing, ten positions in Student Services and six unspecified positions. Fear cuts It also calls for reductions in expenses, space instructional nuclear science and rental, technology and other unspecified areas for a total of $464,000 in savings. Thus far, the proposed cuts in the library acquisitions, Nursing facutly and Student Services have caused the greatest apprehension. The library cuts which the University would slash libraries’ rate of acquiring new volumes by one third would be “devastating” to the University — — and the many Western Yorkers who use them, New according to most observers. Because of this, the State Division of the Budget has granted the University permission to request additional funds for library book acquisitions in a of New York, then through the Governor, and finally with the State Legislature.

These minority organizations had stood on tables and monopolized the floor of the Assembly, preventing the hearings from beginning. News Analysis composed SA: a political year reviewed by Gem Colucci Special Features Editor Editor’s Note: A Irttle over a Jackalone ago, the year administration, now retired, took office. With a new Student Association fSA) administration in power, the time is appropriate to analyze the successes and failures of its predecessor. The following, the first of a three-part series, discusses the election, the controversy and the budget effects both had on SA. for responsible the election said it was the hottest, nastiest race they had seen. It was the first year of People overseeing a reaction campaign regulation to the expensive, ill-monitored campaign of the previous year and the race was a long trail of - - tqrn posters, stolen newspapers, and premature electioneering. The results were such that the new administration’s prospects had to be rated cautiously. Like the Dancies administration the newly-elected government was a hybrid product of extensive ticket-splitting. Five of the eleven officers and coordinators were from President-elect Frank Jackalone’s Nova party, five from defeated candidate Bob Burrick’s Focus party, and one, Academic Affairs Coordinator Mark Humm, was an before it, independent. The Jackalone administration entered office in a position of serious political weakness that some say it never completely overcame. When Jon Dandes took office, the strategic positions of Vice President for Sub-Board I, Inc., and Treasurer were filled by members of his party. The only officer in a serious position to challenge Mr. Dandes’ leadership was David Saleh, the candidate for Executive Vice President on Gary Cohn’s ticket. Mr. Saleh chose not to do so, however, which made Mr. Dandes’ task much easier. Mr. Jackalone had no such His luck. National Affairs Coordinator, Michele Smith, was in Washington, where she would remain until the end of the semester. Two more of his five people were in the politically marginal offices of Minority Affairs and International Affairs. Only his Executive Vice President, running mate, and Scott Sdlimando, was in a position to be commited to Mr. Jackalone. The first few weeks of the Jackalone administration, then, were devoted to new officers feeling each other out, finding whose loyalties lay where, seeing who could be trusted, who could be handled, who could be ignored. In the midst of this consolidation process came SA’s first major which it never crisis, from recovered the budgets. Not since 1971-72 the - year any had academic administration taken a poll on students’ budgetary preferences. That spring, SA held a referendum on athletic spending with the ambiguous result that about one-third wanted athletics cut, it about one-third wanted increased, and about one-third wanted it maintained at present levels. The only other information had students’ anyone on was a petition preferences circulated by Western New York Public Interest Research Group (WNYP1RG). Fifty percent of the daytime undergraduates signed the petition which stated that WNYPIRG should be funded though no amount was specified. Finance Committee members explained that since no one knew what the students really wanted, a “status quo” budget was in order. “We don’t want to make policy with the budgets,” one member said. But inflation and the rise of new interest groups conspired - against plans to put the budget out in an orderly fashion. When organizations the various submitted totalling requests nearly $3 million to be filled as well as possible from $850,000 available, it became clear that all would not be well. Budget disruptions The rest, as the saying goes was history. A coalition formed Smaller e ntering Law class according to the Opinion. while an Additionally, increased number of freshmen supposedly left the school this fall for financial reasons, it is generally believed that attrition will remain at five percent. Law School Provost Richard Schwartz said the reduced entering class would require less freshmen sections and would permit a shift of faculty from first year to upper-level classes. The Law School projections hinge on receiving permission to hire five new faculty. Dr. Schwartz indicated that the entering class might have to be cut even further to prevent the from ratio student-faculty increasing if the new positions do not materialize.

Minority students danced on tables, kicked around the budget reports, and took the - microphones. After the physical display of the first budget meeting, however, the coalition dominated the following meetings but did not control them. compromises, Frantic restraining orders, an audit, and fortuituous intervention of summer vacation led to an eventual resolution of the budget crisis, though the final vote on all budgets would not be complete until well into the fall semster. During that time the Assembly took little action on other matters, earning for itself and for the Jackalone administration a reputation as a do-nothing group the that cared only about budgets. Many observers viewed the as paralyzed by problems, unable to administration budgetary treat other pressing issues. Routine business Others felt, however, that this reputation was largely overstated. One Assembly member pointed “Sure, the Assembly haggled over budgets, but the Executive Committee did its job.” Clubs got recognized, coordinators’ projects proceeded more or less without participation, Assembly’s the speakers came to campus or didn’t, committees were filled about as well as ever. But the out; budgetary preoccupations made it difficult to accomplish as much as people might have hoped. members of the Many administration, Jackalone including the President, had run a platform on of more responsibility for the Assembly.

Assembly reform The Jackaone administration tried numerous ways to make the a Assembly more effective, responsible body. Perhaps nothing is more illustrative of their efforts than the persistent attempt, begun when Mr. Jackalone was an Assembly member in the Benson administration, to change the SA amending Constitution’s procedure. Under the Constitution, an absolute 3/5 majority of the Student Assembly could amend the Constitution, that is 3/5 [a constitutional quorum J of all members. A legislative quorum is only 1/4 of the membership. As a freshman, Mr. Jackalone introduced an amendment to change this rule to 3/4 of all present members and voting. Since Assembly attendance was, and remains, sparse, any attempts at Constitutional reform were because doomed impossible to it proved a achieve constitutional quorum. This amendment remained a item recurring of business, deferred for months because no one could raise enough people to vote to change the Constitution. In the end, it proved easier to adopt a whole new Constitution than to make this simple change. Failure Many other moves proved unsuccessful.

The move will ensure that the Law School’s student body does not exceed 800. The Law School’s student newspaper, the Opinion, reported that the Admissions Committee’s original projection that a student body of 800 could be reached by admitting 300 students each year was “premised upon the fallacious assumption” that attrition would be 15 percent each yearLaw School officials now believe the attrition rate is not more than five percent. The 1973 entering class was 322. It was reduced to 300 in 1974. The Admissions Committee felt the five percent attrition estimate justified a further reduction to 265 to “maintain the faculty’s goal” of 800 students, (LSAT) scores and grade-point averages.

Perhaps the most startling innovation was the separation of financial affairs from the other legislative duties.

The Jackalone administration came into office politically weak, hit immediately with a budgetary crisis, and committed to structural reform of the government.

A major complaint is that many contractors are hiring non-union laboAso j they can pay lower wages. The militant workers, some of whom have been unemployed f<yr a year, had little patience for speeches from Buffalo Mayor Stanley M. Makowski,. “Let us ask for legislation on the state level," said Mayor Makowski, while the crowd cried, “throw him out.” Visibly angry, the Mayor responded, “We’re trying to get work for everybody. What the hell do you think I’m doing here?” Buffalo’s unemployment is officially set at 8.2 percent, but some economic observers say it is closer to 12 percent. In the black community, and especially among black youth, unemployment has climbed as high as 35 percent. Recession Serious unemployment has plagued Buffalo since the recession of 1970-71, when steel and other major industries layed off workers and threatened to shift some operations out of the state. Senator Jacob Javits (R.-N.Y.) was conducting a Senate committee hearing on local unemployment in Buffalo’s City Hall Monday, but refused to address the rally. The announcement by Donald J Blair, President of the Building Trades C9uncil, that Senator Javits had to return to Washington, was met with a chorus of boos. Mr. Blair said 7553 of the 18,327 members of the areas construction unions were out of work. As the rally was ending, the workers took to the streets in a spirited march, chanting, We want jobs, We want jobs.

Page five . �I Editorial a-*’ The 'heresy' of Martin Sostre "He thinks too much — such men are dangerous. " Julius Caesar Act I, Scene2 With the persistence of a bloodhound, the American legal system has tracked Martin Sostre for eight years, refusing to rest until he is put out of circulation with the human race. Perhaps this is because Mr. Sostre understands and criticizes the nation's racism and phony ideals, and has had the audacity to share this knowledge with many people, both in prison and out on the street. If word were to get around that the American system of justice has a flaw or two, drastic measures like reform might even be contemplated. So the chase goes on. In 1966, Mr. Sostre opened an Afro-Asian Bookstore on Jefferson Avenue in Buffalo to help educate many blacks who had not had opportunities to learn how the American system systematically works against them. A year later, he was convicted of selling $15 worth of heroin and sentenced to 25-30 years in prison, even though he was originally accused of riot and arson after the spontaneous outburst by blacks on Buffalo's East Side. After the trial, Arto Williams, the chief prosecution witness, recanted his testimony, swearing in a Court of Law that he incriminated-Mr. Sostre only because the police promised him leniency in a separate drug-related case. If Mr. Sostre had been white, if he had not openly displayed his contempt for the forces which were now trying to silence him, the testimony would have been enough to ensure his acquittal. But Mr. Sostre's conviction was not overturned, and he remained in prison, spending most of his seven years there in solitary confinement. Prison officials say he was locked in solitary because he refused to shave off a quarter inch beard, but it doesn't take much insight to realize that he was put there because the team of prosecutors and judges had succeeded in erecting walls around his person, but not his ideas. So they removed him even further, to a veritable prison within a prison, where there would be absolutely no chance of him spreading heresies like the right of prisoners to receive uncensored mail and practice religion without being harassed. Five years ago, a Federal District Court Judge awarded Mr. Sostre $13,000 for being subjected to "cruel and unusual punishment" because he had been in the "box" for too long. The judge also ruled that rectal searches, which prisoners at Clinton State Prison had been forced to submit to to allow guards to look for hidden weapons, were "degrading in the sense that [they are] needlessly dehumanizing." But this Tuesday, Martin Sostre may be sentenced to life imprisonment under persistent offender statutes because he assaulted three prison guards while they forced him to submit to a rectal search. His felony qonviction must have come as no surprise to the people who had observed the behavior of Judge Robert Feinberg during the trial. After granting Mr. Sostre co-counsel status, which allows him to act as his own lawyer, Judge Feinberg threatened to gag him. He also refused to allow the defense to question prospective jurors about solitary confinement or rectal searches, and threatened another lawyer with contempt for telling the jury that Mr. Sostre was recognized as a "prisoner of conscience" by Amnesty International, a group that supports political prisoners. For the icing on the cake, twelve Sostre supporters were arrested for contempt after yelling "Free Martin Sostre" and were jailed for a week, even though the contempt citations did not specify the actions of particular individuals, which is required by law. Proponents of American justice must be gleefully awaiting the Judge's announcement that Martin Sostre will spend the remainder of his life in prison. They fear Sostre, not in a physical sense or because he is a convicted felon, but perhaps because they see some logic in what he has been saying and fighting for all these years, and are afraid to face up to it, justas the Judge refused to weigh Arto William's revised testimony because if he had, he would have been admitting that there were cracks in the judicial system that he personified. But ideas have a strange resiliency; unlike human bodies, which can be disgarded and forgotten about, they seep through and spread long after their champions are gone. Martin Sostre has as much right to be out on the street today as any man, but no matter what turn his fortunes take, one thing is certain: the ideas he thought about and helped others to think about will not lie quietly. t Page six The Spectrum .

We, the UB Attica Support Group, would like to Community University th# for its participation and support around the Attica weekend and various fund raising activities. As a result of this support, enough money was raised to set up a bail fund for the brothers who are still incarcerated. We organized this bail fund for those who are awaiting trial and are unable to rally support and raise sufficient funds for their defense. This, of course, includes bail. thank For example, on February 20, this money was used for the release of brother Ja Ja Nkomo Kalomo (a/k/ak Michael Phillips) who is coming up for trial in April. We urge your continuous support and, once again, appreciate the opportunity we have been provided with to assist in the brothers defense.

Oddly enough, while the editors of The Spectrum often give the impression that they stand for peace and goodness, The Spectrum itself has apparently been bought off by the devil! Rather, 1 mean by the “military-industrial complex,” that gigantic conglomeration of interlocking business, military, and government interests which brought us (and the southeast Asians) the Vietnam war, among other things. As evidence of this, sell-out, I point to the advertisement in Wednesday’s (March 5) The Spectrum by the Grumman Aerospace Corporation. In this ad one of the largest weapons’ manufacturers in the world claims that its “real” business is merely “the science of moving things or how to get from here to there.” This is military-industrial hype designed to give unsuspecting people (or people who don’t want to think about their place in the order of things) an unduly favorable image of a corporation likely ends are profit and economic expansion, and whose means to those ends involve the prodcution (as well as the design) of devices made to iqjure and kill human beings. 1 think the Grumman ad is misleading, harmful (to us and to those on the receiving end of Grumman weapons), and inherently political selling us the whose — destructive and anti-human message of our The Spectrum insists military-industrial complex. If on printing such mindwash, they should provide equal time, i.e., space, for those who disagree and who are willing to present the other side of the story about Grumman, or ITT, or GE, or Sylvania So as not to impede the free flow of ideas about such crucially important (read: “life and death”) maters, ... this space should be free upon request. Walter Simpson U.B. Study/Action Group on Nuclear Disarmament and World Peace (CAC) �Billy Joel at Kleinhans Piano Man: perfect/ simple and outrageous When I first walked into Kleinhans lobby, I was hit with an intense surge of uneasiness, as I found myself surrounded by what appeared to be the entire Buffalo police department. Not that I had any reason to display any paronoia. It's just that the police have always had a knack for bringing my head down. So to avoid any further unease, I slipped downstairs to the lounge. I was greeted by a whole slew of plastic looking bartenders, who mixed up a whole slew of very plastic tasting drinks. But the drinks did they duty and I soon forgot about the men in blue. After a few more drinks it was brought to my attention that it was approaching 8:30. I hurried upstairs and settled back in my seat just as a disc jockey from QFM stepped up to the mike to plug his station, remind us that there was no smoking, and introduce the opening act, Tom Rush. Now it is very rare that the opening act to any concert is ever any good, and since I'd never heard of Tom Rush before, I really didn't expect much. So when Tom and his band came out, I clapped briefly, yawned and readied myself to be bored. SURPRISE! This guy was really good. Not just passable, but exceptionally fine. me an answer, but he did refill my plastic glass. I hung around the bar, shooting the shit some friends, awaiting the with from the ushers that the show was about to begin, or for the flickering of the house (a common practice in such high class establishments). But neither occurred. Instead I found myself rushing into the hall while Billy Joel was in the middle of "Streetlife Serenade." I was pissed off at the inefficency of the ushers but once I caught my breath and realized how good Billy sounded, I drifted off into limbo. God damn. I must've been in heaven. That sound system was just too announcement good. a concert where everything went right with the sound system, or I wasn't bored half to death by a set of drawn out jams, or fed up by a performer's massive egotism or pathetically drunken stupor. Well, come tomorrow, I still won't be able to remember. Unfortunately an amplifier blew a fuse during "Billy the Kid," but Billy paid no attention to it until the end of the song. Then he checked the amp, shook his head, rambled into a blues pattern and came up with a totally improvised song, "The Technical Difficulty Blues" which the band quickly picked up. A number one song in the making? to Just music Floating on Root Beer Just as I started to come back down to earth, Billy announced that the next song was dedicated to his favorite soft drink. He spent some time looseing himself up and then tore into "Root Beer Rag," a fast and Billy's set was pure and simple. No fancy assed glitter (he came out in a jacket and tie ala Hogey Carmichael explaining, "If I had come out in a T-shirt you would all be disappointed and you'd start grumbling 'Six Dollars and all I get is some guy in a T-shirt.' Then I could always come would break through the silence, Billy would give a startled look, fall back on his stool, and assure the crowd that he'd get to it. "It's all down on the list. I have that one under ‘big bang.' In the distance chords from the organ, in came the piano, the auditorium went insane with applause. "Captain Jack" the final song of the set. Classic, just classic. " Workin' overtime Billy came back for an encore of "Worst Comes to Worst" and "Ain't No Crime." The crowd wanted more and Billy was more than willing to oblige. But not before he ran into a hassle with someone backstage who didn't want him to continue because it would run into paying the help overtime. Money, Money, Money, the root of all evil. He stormed out on the stage just the same and sat himself down behind his piano. Then he shouted out to that someone, "Don't you ever pull no power Arkansas G-string Tom and his four piece back up band about their name I think it was Orphan) went through a couple of electric folk numbers before Tom soloed on an acoustic tune that he introduced as "A song about Arkansas a place where and if this song is true, I've never been . I don't ever want to go there." About two verses into the song Tom broke a G string but he calmly announced, "Uh-oh, I think we have a little problem here." He called for a new guitar and just picked up where he left off. The whole episode seemed to just follow in the same vien as the song, which was about cockroaches the size of parakeets and ugly girls (spelt with a (I'm not sure — ... . . capital UG). m The band returned for a medley of "Hey Bo Diddley" and "Who Do You Love." I was familiar with both and quite happy that I could sing along on this one. They were the only familiar songs Tom played throughout his set, but it didn't matter much because I was enjoying the whole thing any how. The band seemed to be enjoying themsleves, which also made me happy, bacause it seems to me that it's very rare that the performers are up there for any reason other than money. Tom finished his set with a song about a girl named Rotunda (he figured it had a nicer ring than Wanda or Beatrice) and then came back for an encore with a really fine song entitled "Desperado." Intermission After he left the stage and the house lights went on I sat, stunned, from the excellent performance. "Why the hell haven't I ever heard of him before?" This quescton oegan to haunt me, so in search of an answer, I followed the sea of people back downstairs and posed the question to my friend, the bartender. He couldn't give firey instrumental in which I witnessed some of the best keyboard work I've ever seen. The song worked itself into a frenzy and I became ecstatic as I watched how amazingly together these five guys were. MOTHERFUCKIN OUTRAGEOUSI The music was letter perfect throughout the entire concert. Johnny Almond's flute and sax work (something new to Joel's music) blended in excellently with the rest drums, Don of the band (Rhys Clark guitar, and Larry Smith Evans bass), especially during "roberta" and Traveling — - - Prayer." I can't remember the last time I've been out in glitter with wings and everything but I wouldn't feel right. Bowie can wear that stuff. He's skinny so it makes him look cute, but me? Naaaah."). No elaborate theatrics; there was no need for them. Billy was all the theatre needed for them. Billy was all the theatre needed. He set the mood with his piano and he held the crowd with his charm. Joel is undoubtedly the “king of the rap." His talk was spontaneous to the audience's comments and he had a word for everything. From "foxy thirteen year olds" to how to get the most out of your big hit single. Whenever a fan's cry to play a song on me Jack." Well the power stayed on and Billy gave it everything he had for the final two songs. Then he rose, thanked the audience, and shouted out, "Don't ever take any shit from anybody." I tried to heed his advice as I prepared to approach him for an interview after the show, but I was lead to the door by an army of beer bellied bouncers wearing Festival T-shirts before I could even get his attention. And Billy: It really doesn't matter anyhow Cause everybody loves you now. —Howie Spierer �Landscape photography Era of Exploration, an exhibition tracing the rite of landscape photography in the American West from 1860 until 1885, wHI open at the Albright-Knox AW Gallery tonight . at 8 p.ro. with a lecture by Weston Naef, assistant curator of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Department of Prints and Photographs.

CW fO*Q 'Stepford Wives': the perfect slaves by Dean Billanti Spectrum Arts Staff The impressions of America by noted British directors making their first film here have been interesting, and mostly negative. Since 1965 there have been Tony Richardson's The Loved One, John Boorman's Point Blank, John Schlesinger's Midnight Cowboy, expatriate American director Richard Lester's Petulia, and on a lesser artistic level, the films of Michael Winner Death Wish, etc. Now there is Bryan Forbes' The Stepford Wives The film tells the tale of Joanna {Katherine Ross) who moves from N.Y.C. to Stepford, Conn. to please her husband. Sunlit Stepford is not the glossy utopia these soft it appears to be. Something is wrong with the wives there focus, make-uped women are the epitomy of feminitiy and they speak in language suggesting TV commercial jingles. They are also slaves to their husbands. Joanna's best friend Bobby (Paula Prentiss) discovers the terrifying truth about the Stepford wives, and so does Joanna upon entering the Men's Association mansion on a stormy night. This is a beautiful and mesmerizing film on many levels. One of the many pleasures is it's acting. Katherine Ross is no longer the lovely girl of The Graduate or the girl-woman of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but a ravishing woman of immense charm. Her Joanna may seem crazily impulsive, but it is her intense need to survive and find the truth that drives her on. Paula Prentiss gives such a lovely, comic, free flowing performance that at times, it seems as though the director (her entrance in the film is one of its highest points) just wants to linger on her, waiting for her next ourburst. In small screen time, the usually wasted Tina Louise creates a very alive portrait of a sexually volatile woman who also succumbs. Nanette Newman (Forbe's wife) is also good as one of the first recruits ("I'll just die if I don't get that recipe,") of the Men's Association. Other parts are played well by easily recognizable fashion models. Bryan Forbes has directed some important movies in the past Whistle Down the Wind, King Rat, The Whisperers, and one very good one The L—Shaped Room, but nothing that approaches The Stepford Wives. He has staged some small sequences here. In one, Joanna (she is a professional photographer) spontaneously shoots photographs of children as the director's camera slowly moves in on her joyful face. Forbes also stages larger scenes a violent scene in a kitchen between Joanna and Bobby and Joanna’s final confrontation with "herself," with feeling and a fine eye for detail and sense of pace that persuades — — — — - — the entire film. Forbes has also made implicit a suggestion of a young woman in a sick Disneyland, and more subtly, Dorothy in a nightmarish Oz (there is also an undercurrent of disallusionment and melancholy over abandoned oppotunities Joanna says about her lawyer husband, “I thought he was going to be Perry Mason," or later when she visits a former lover, he writes on a piece of paper, "I'm not trapped — happy either."). One of the unique things about Ira Levin's fiction is that what we hope is a nightmare usually becomes reality {Rosemary's Baby was his and The Stepford Wives is based on a 1972 novel he wrote). Accordingly, in the film, when Joanna finally confronts the head of the Men's Association, she asks "Why do you do it," and he answers "Because we can." Joanna and Bobby do meet again at the film's climax, but not as "real" friends the lanes of the Goodwives Supermarket is the only road they'll ever travel again, and ironically Forbes uses a montage of stills to close the film Joanna's art has — — j. become a still life. -.a The Stepford Wives is hot only a better and more important film than Rosemary's Baby, it's also the best film in quite a while. Gene Callahan designed the superb production gleaming blue pools, shiny kitchens, and Surf and Turf green lawns and Owen Roizman (The Exorcist) did the lovingly apt cinematography. ; - rrt feiB&t Pagg eight. The Spectrum Friday, 21 March 1975 . Prodigal Sun �Lily Tomlin Leaving them all laughing by Randi Schnur Arts Editor Lily Tomlin seems to have come a long way since her days as a regular on Laugh-In. Ma Bell's devoted daughter Ernestine is still around, of course, as is five-and a-half-year-old Edith Ann, but Tomlin has finally outgrown her television personae. Now everyone from Madame Lupe, "The World's Oldest Beauty Expert" whose fountain of youth springs from a bottle of Johnson's Glo-Kote, to the elderly revivalist Sister Boogie Woman ("You got your teeth in a glass and those teeth are smiling!") joins those old favorites onstage as the comedienne runs through her — — paces. Performing before a packed house Buffalo State College's Union Social Hall last Tuesday evening, Tomlin presented a grab-bag of old and new material, extended routines and strings of one-liners on subjects that appeared to pop out of nowhere and were changes just as quickly. Delivered at a frenetic pace that left her hoarse and breathless by the end of an hour, the jokes ranged from mediocre to terrific, but with ehough of the latter to keep her audience laughing through the near-misses and downright failures. seated more than five rows from the stage, but the performer answered their complaints with a flippant "Hey,, get a new auditorium if you want to see.") Tomlin is funniest when she seems to be drawing her material from her own more-or-less recent baby Edith Ann, past whosometimes likes "to sit on the drain in the bathtub when the water runs out," hardly seems like a reflection of anybody's real childhood and her portrayal of a hysterical sorority sister complaining about members who try to get away with bone shoes when they're supposed to wear white (and, incidentally, hide fetuses in the incinerator) was one of her best. Her teenager of the '50's ("It was easy to be offbeat you were freaky if you had a wall phone."), whose most crushing insult to a rival at a school dance is "That creep? She washes her gymsuit every week!" resurrects every clishe the decade produced, but Tomlin does them better than anyone else. On the other hand, she shows very little talent for ad libbing, and Edith Ann's question-andanswer session fell horribly flat. But Tomlin's terrific rapport with her audience left them laughing no matter what she said, and that, after all, is what her act is all about. . at When a line about a wastepaper basket and a paper bag which switched places received no response at all, she repeated it word for word and then crashed down on the stage, where she stayed for about ten more minutes' worth of wisecracks all of which somehow seemed much funnier coming from the floor. (This tactic presented quite a problem for audience members — . . Happening to you' in theatre's darkness by Jay Boyar Arts Editor Not long ago, a lot of college kids, movie ad-men and newspaper critics (some of whom should have known better) began talking very seriously about movies that you had to "just let happen to you." With euphoric smiles, they'd grin and say, "Just sit back and soak it in." Internal Combustion Terry Doran's new play at the American Contemporary Theatre, is a theatre-piece which courts that same type of "mind-blown" comment. It's a short (40-minute) play which seats its small (25-person) audience in a claustrophobic column of chairs. The cramped room is then crowded with that absolute darkness experienced very rarely; you darkness literally cannot see you hand before your face. At center stage, a flickering light draws your attention while action takes place in minimal light on several levels: up, mid and downstage. Action blinks on and off instantaneously on these levels, using an old magician's stage trick to create a very filmic , — atmosphere. Success? If Internal Combustion partially succeeds, it does so purely on the basis of its "happening to you," which really doesn't amount to much of a basis at all, considering what it might have been. It reminds me a bit of the American Contemporary Theatre's production of The Unnameable, except that Beckett's play touches something very deep and wonderous in people while Doran's script is just a hip version of fluff. What happens in Internal Combustion is that one's environment is drastically altered almost exactly as it is in an amusement park funhouse. The dialogue and "plot" of Internal Combustion seeks to make a metaphorical linkage between the internal combustion engine, the individual's psyche, the films of Melies and Freud's interpretation of dreams. It's an extremely eclectic play, but it's eclecticism for its own sake without referring to anything larger. Had it worked, it would have created a dream-like experience touching our unconscious and staying with us, rather than an amusement park trip that's over when the ride ends. My guess is that much of the play is intentionally comic, trying for a pseudo-sophisticated comedy based on the humor of gratuitous eclecticism random name-dropping, as it were. The humor doesn’t ignite for the same reason that I'm not so sure it was intentionally comic it's just too esoteric. Internal Combustion badly needs a solid frame, a fixed point of departure. As it stands, it's ferris wheels and cotton candy. You keep waiting for a few seconds of conventional stage business to give you a handle on the rest of the show.

In this book, Francis lanni examines the similarities in the organization of the "families" and the sociological factors behind the mafia. One of the major points of this book is that socially approved routes of escaping poverty are often closed for ghetto dwellers. Organized crime is a quick escape path from the ghetto for the blacks and Puerto Ricans as it once was for the Irish and the Jews. He maintains that the Italians are still the backbone of organized crime because they have all the major drug connections and the means to protect them and that, for the present, the blacks and the Puerto Ricans are acting as agents to get the lucrative vices into the ghetto areas. He sees the emergence .of both the black and Cuban mafias in their takeover of the smaller aspects of syndicated crime, such as fencing and prostitution. lanni feels that the Italians have moved into enough legitimate businesses to absorb the loss of revenues from these vices. He cites the example of the Lupollos who, through the Americanization of the family (i.e., shifting traditional family ideas) have only been able to keep four out of the 37 third-generation children in the mafia. All the other Lupollos have moved into professional fields, proving his point that a mafia is used basically as a means of getting out of the ghetto. lanni is especially optimistic about the success of the Cuban mafia because it, like the other successful mafias, is based on close-knit family ties. He feels that the blacks do not have enough familiarity with family structure to organize into a successful mafia. Only through the realization of black solidarity could a successful black mafia be brought about. Another strong factor indicating the probably success of the Cuban mafia is that they have good connections for the importation of South American and Latin American cocaine. lanni sees cocaine as the new marijuana of the seventies. Combined with the growing disinterest of the Italians in organized crime, an effective cocaine route should just about eliminate the Italians and put the Cubans on top of organized crime. He predicts that the growing black mafia will be stymied by the legalization of many of its ventures. Mr. lanni is quite qualified to write a novel of this nature. In 1967 he went to southern Italy and Sicily and did a study of the secret criminal societies there which culminated in the publication of A Family Business in 1972. Currently he is a member of the Task Force on Organized Crime of the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council of New York City. When lanni was discussing the actual crime syndicates, the book was exceptionally fast moving. However, when he goes into the sociological aspects of the crime syndicate, the book loses its fluidity. Still, this book is extremely informative and never do you doubt its validity. Black Mafia is a must for understanding organized crime as it exists today in New York City. -Robert Topaz 1975 (Pocket printed world, they stuck to the leather.

L Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., Wampeters Foma & Granfalloons (Dalacorte Prau) One asks oneself over and over, when reading t Kurt Vonnegut's Wampeters Foma and Granfalloons, what it is about a writer of fiction that allows him to view life so precisely, with such deadly accuracy. It is this characteristic precision which was supposedly O utilized by seers and prophets in ancient times. N The difference today is that the government, as Vonnegut says, views the writer and his fiction as "so much hot air." This truth is witnessed by the fact that a multitude of literary people opposed 1 Vietnam; so much written energy was expended toward it and it continued . . and continues. This latest book of opinions or "crap" as Vonnegut labels it, is a microscopic slide on which the reader finds the guts of mankind, in the sixties and seventies, laid bare. We are given the opportunity of taking a hard look at ourselves through the eyes and soul of a man who writes with brilliance and humor. What we see is far from beautiful. "This is a lonesome society," he tells us; a society where man constantly asks the question, "Where is my bed?" We exist in a culture run by "high school class officers" who are members of one of two parties, the "Winners or the Losers." There are no others. Wow!

What it tells the reader, in Vonnegut's sardonically humorous style, is that he does have a choice; he can save himself here, on planet earth, or he can allow himself to be made a victim. If he chooses the latter, historians will look back upon him and note, "He made wonderful jokes, but he was such an unhappy man." Hooray! Just as Pavlov had solicited desired responses from dogs through an outside stimulus. Miller sought to use the principles of conditioned response with his test subjects. In initial experiments with white rats, electrodes inserted into their bodies were hooked into electronic test equipment. Every time the rats' heartbeats slowed down somewhat, they were rewarded with food. Eventually the rats learned that if they slowed their heartbeats they would be fed. Although control of the heart is supposedly beyond mental ability, ail laboratory, sent to the Far East to study practitioners of Zen and Yoga returned with documented proof that the subjects observed were indeed able to control the visceral functions of their bodies at will. It was observed that while meditating, the subjects' minds were working at a constant, steady, alpha wave pattern. By using patterns of thought that had been developed through practice, the meditating subjects were able to slow their hearts down or speed them up at astounding rates, regulate their circulation and blood pressure, and perform many other "impossible" tasks of visceral control. The point made by this book is that visceral learning is definitely within our reach. By adopting correct methods of learning we can assume total control over our bodies. While conditioned response might not be the answer, alpha wave training could definitely be. And it's available right now to those who want it, either through Transcendental Meditation or Silva Mind Control, both of which have centers in most large American cities. The goal is improved health and a longer, happier life. Visceral Learning could be the way to achieve it. We have the power to make it work; the rest is up to the individual. ■ —Cary Trestyn Friday, 21 March 1975 The Spectrum Page eleven . . i. 11 �Great warmth, vibes Orignal and catchy Scottish of the Buffalo Gals soul-synthesis at Kleinhans The Buffalo Gals, queens of bluegrass, with their aura of great vibes left the audiences with great feelings last Friday and Saturday nights. Their warmth on stage absorbed us right into thqir music. Their incredible style and repertoire got everyone involved with hand clapping and foot stomping. Saturday night, the floor of the Rathskeller was rubbed down from all the dancing that went on. Individually they are all incredible musicians. As a whole band their performance is just remarkable. The dynamics in the instrumentation and the vocal harmonies made the audience scream for encores. They would probably still be playing now if the Union hadn't had to close. The Buffalo Gals play a wide variety of songs, always keeping you anxious for the next number. They play alot of old timey fiddle tunes, some popular folk tunes with a little swing thrown in, and countless other blues grass tunes that they have arranged in their own style including a jazzed up Supremes song. I was lupky enough to get to know them off stage as well as on. They are all fantastic people and that is projected in their performances. I just wish they would take it easy with that "blue grass humor." If you were unfortunate and missed the Buffalo Gals this time, be sure to see them next time they are here. If you are interested in their future performances, the UUAB Coffeehouse has a list, so get —Jonie Schwartz in touch. — - The evening b£gan with a surprise. On the way to the concert, I discovered that the opening act was to be Les McCann, semi-legendary jazz pianist. He is now fully electric (aren't we all?) and, although his band was good and the material interesting, there was a sense of audience impatience in the air throughout his set. It is strangely ironic, is it not, that someone of McCann's credentials should be opening act for a bunch of Scots playing "black" music? (More about this later.) McCann finally got the audience going with "Compared to What," a song of his recently made popular by Brian Auger and Roberta Flack. But it was his last number, and there was no encore The Average White Band (AWB) did, however, put on a very entertaining show and, judging by the audience reaction, are on their way to becoming very popular. (Their latest album is doing quite well, on both soul and pop record charts.) Over spring break (the concert was March 4), it seemed that everywhere I went I heard their records, and talked to people who are all of a sudden into soul music. It seems absurd that it takes a band of Scottish R&B freaks to sell American soul music to white American audience, but it is happening, and I like it as much as everybody else. No dancin' in the aisles Most of their material is original, and unlike such "sound-alike" groups as Sha Na Na and the Hudson Brothers, the AWB does not merely rearrange other people's songs and tack on new words. Their songs are written and performed with such adherence to the soul genre that they sound familiar, even upon first hearing. Think of it as second generation pop music a synthesis of the good qualities of all the soul hits of the last ten years. For this reason, most of their songs are "catchy" in one way or another, and all of them are good to dance to. This brings up one strange point about the audience at the concert. A number of people around where I was sitting got up and started dancing during the set, but everyone else elected to remain seated, so the ushers made the offenders sit down. Then again, the atmosphere of Kleinhans Music Hall is not exactly conducive to Madness. polished at all times, and if you like their albums, you would have loved it. Using two lead singers, two guitarists, keyboards and at times two saxes, they were able to faithfully reproduce their recorded sound, which is pretty good, if you haven’t heard it. Most of the songs performed were from their second album, AWB. including the Isley Brothers' "Work to Do," and of course, "Pick Up the Pieces." In — Cold cuts The Tonight, the '70's answer to the Chipmunks will appear at the Niagara Falls Convention Center: Seals and Crofts. The Ba'hai buddies, famous for their superb vocal harmonies, have grown to enormous popularity in the past five years, and their music has become increasingly less folk-oriented and more lavishly produced as their record sales become more and more lucrative.

One of them, "Heard It Through the Grapevine," came off well as an encore, despite the number of times it has been butchered by other groups. During the encore, Les McCann came on to play clavinet, followed by his drummer (who played tambourine). Although it was obviously unrehearsed, it sounded great. When, after another ovation, a roadie came on to announce that there would be no second encore, due to the fact that "the boys have been in the studio recording, and their voices are kinda shot," there weren't even any boos.

Such was the case on Saturday March 1st when our own UUAB presented Peter Frampton's Camel and The Son Seals Blues Band in Norton Hall's Fillmore Room. Musically, the Son Seals Blues Band were the best blues band that I’ve had the pleasure to see. True, Sonny Seals, the lead guitarist of the group, sweated just like any other blues guiatrist, but they were still unique. From the opening sone, "Why I Sing the Blues" on down to B.B. King's "Thrill is Gone" (when the band brought on Leo, a friend, to sing and "blues" for them), this blues band made each new song a different experience. I attribute this to Sonny Seals' muscial and verbal rapport with the audience. At one point, during Chuck Berry's tune, "Little Queenie," Sonny walked to the edge of the stage and the total entertainer! played several riffs with his teeth — Lefty leads Not only was the band entertaining, but the individual members were also quite comical at times. At one point during the show, one of the members of our party called out to "Wefty," the rhythm guitarist, who up to that point V*. * a Israel Friedman I know that last issue I promised that in today's column I would deal with Country and Western music and the honky-tonk saloon in town where Buffalo’s cowboys and rodeo queens hitch up their pickups, but for reasons that just aren't worth going into, that will have to wait for some future date. Intead, what I'd like to do is change the format a little and give you an introduction in capsule form to some of the newer spots in and around town. Let's face it, writing for The Spectrum, while I like it and read it faithfully, is not the most pretigious job one can have. What I mean is, club owners and managers don't exactly jump to greet you at the door, begging to assist yo in any way they can So instead, you glean whatever information you need from bartenders, doormen, and even waitresses, if there happen to be any good-looking ones around. And that brings us to the first place we visited over the past weekend. The Pierce Arrow Agency, Pub and Restaurant. The decor is strictly Lower East Side Manhattan Singles, which I for one don't happen to mind all that much, on occasion. It's got a big bar and lots of room to move around. The place is built on several levels, with tables for seating all around, and it even has a dance floor. The Puh is fairly well lit, so you needn't strain your eyes to see that special someone you've been making goo-goo eyes at all night long is really as good as they look. Lots of flowers and plants, with Tiffany lamps and antique mirrors and things hung ad over. The Pierce Arrow Agency is located at 3036 Seneca St. .at Center Road in West Seneca, which, if you're not familiar with this area, is realty a good ways out. But iif you are looking for something a little bit fancier than your run of the mill gin-mill, by - *b* — guitar. Upon his return to the stage for the customary (but well deserved) encore, Frampton launched into "Shining On" which he more or less dedicated to us, his loving audience. Then, another gift from Frampton, his own great version of "Jumpin' Jack Flash." It had the audience jumping to the ceiling. He left the stage, not to return for that second encore. If after all this, the essence of the evening is not understood, then I am forced to use my ultimate compliment for a concert. I hereby go on record as declaring that the whole concert (from Son Seals' "Why I Sing the Blues" to Frampton's "Jumpin' Jack Flash") should have been recorded for a live album and that is no camel shit. —Gerald Malta — Changes As a nice change of pace, Frampton switched to acoustic guitar and did the title cut from his first album. Wind of Change Then, surprising everyone (as it is electric — ,, «v % & di0 % Prodigal Sun x> on the album), he did a mellow version of the classic "By Your Side." Just as abruptly as he had switched to acoustic, and rock he did. Frampton switched back to electric During the latter part of the concert, Frampton used a "mouth guitar," where his voice came through the guitar ala Joe Walsh. Despite my mild state of intoxication, I distinctly heard Joe (oops), Peter first ask the audience to boogie and then say "Thank You" through his rigged had done nothing but play behind Sonny Seals, to break out and do his own shit. "No," Lefty shook his head, giving us the impression that Sonny wouldn't let him. But, during the next song. Lefty let out a short lead and showing a mock look of fright, he jumped away from Sonny. Repeating this scene a second time. Lefty then let out a long grin. The Son Seals Blues Band were appreciated enough to be called out for an encore and though there were cries for a third appearance, they didn’t return. After the usual midshow raps, the lights lowered and on came Frampton. Opening up with "Something's Happening" from his last LP, Frampton showed why he is rumored to be under consideration as a replacement for Mick Taylor (who recently left the Rolling Stones). His guitar on this cut was very clear and sharp to say the least. In the middle of the third song, "Lines on My Face," Peter got into some beautiful guitar work. It flowed from his this naturally drew long and fingers like a boat on a lake fervent applause from a very appreciative audience. On to "Doobie Wa" which was a cute take-off on guess who? and happen to be in the neighborhood Can you imagine, walking into a bar in Buffalo and hearing not rock, folk, or top 40, but classical music? I tell you it was beautiful. The Alley Bar on Delaware, just before Gates Circle (if you're coming from uptown), plays classical music. If I seem to have gotten stuck on this fact, it is because I am. It is unusual, but even more than that, it's refreshing. For someone like me, who has been Rolling Stoned and Led Zeppelined to death, it's like being a junkie with money down in Tiajuana. The Alley Bar is just two doors down from the Locker Room, a local favorite of the beefon-weck set, around the corner and back in the alley. It's not the main fullly redone yet, but what is' finished bar room and two smaller rooms that run off it tastefully done, with pictures of Bach and Beethoven hung alongside some very nice murals and other paintings by local artists. And of course, there is music. If you get off on getting high and listening to the Grateful Dead, you should try closing your eyes while sipping wine and listening to Handel's Messiah. What you can see with your mind's eye just might amaze you. But here I ... — digress. The main point is that this is a great place to go if you just aren't a rock-n-roller any more. Even the conversation suggests that the crowd that comes here to drink is not your average "let's get drunk and see what happens" clientele. You're much more likely to hear a critique of the latest films or plays. About the only thing missing is a chessboard with two wisened old men sitting around it tugging on their beards. It's probably someplace I'll go when I'm in the mood for a cocktail and some atmosphere. It may be a little tricky to find, but it's a place well worth seeking out. - UUAB Coffeehouse wilt present singer-composer, Adam Mitchell today and tomorrow.

The sin is not mortal, just disappointingly venal The team predictions are no surprise. The editors who put the book together took the cautious approach, picking the Yankees and the Rangers in the AL and the Cardinals and Dodgers in the NL. There were some surprises, though, further down the line. The Kansas City Royals and the Philadelphia Phillies were picked to come in fourth in their respective divisions, surprisingly low for two teams whose rebuilding programs have met with some success during the last few years. The predictions were determined by a semi-scientific process called the Performance Quotient (PQ). It's actually a sophisticated way of saying that they looked at the pitching, and and hitting of each team oy position rated them on a scale from one to five. If you put the pretensions aside, the ratings are fairly accurate and the explanations are well-written, which is more than I can say for the sections devoted to writing. The writing consists of team evaluations and "exclusive" features. The first is often redundant; the second is anything but exclusive. Fred Down wrote the book, but you would never know it unless you glanced at the acknowledgements where his name is mixed in with the photo credits. Maybe that's because he hesitated to take credit for all the cliches and overused quotes that abound. He begins the section on the Detroit Tigers (picked to finish sixth in the AL East) with a non-sentence I'm still trying to make sense of: "Shades of Ty Cobb . . . Harry Heilman .. Hank Greenberg... Charlie Gehringer... Ha! A! Kaline and all Newhouser. .. Denny McLain the other greats who have graced the roster of the Detroit Tigers!" There's something more than memories to that, but what? The biggest news of the off season the signing Catfish Hunter by the Yankees is the biggest of news of the book. They have the Catfish figuring in at least four of their predictions. He’s the reason the Yankees will finish first and the reason the three time World champion Oakland A's will not repeat. But he is also the reason that the Texas Rangers will win the AL West and the reason the Orioles will have to settle for second place. A bit overdoneI The Bonds-Murcer trade is also played up, but they never Ynake their evaluation of the swap clear. First they say that Bonds has enhanced New York's penant chances. But when they talk of the Giants they say that San Francisco got the best of the deal and that the New York press has grossly overrated Bonds. By comparing the statistics of the two for the last few seasons, they conclude: "The Giants acquired a steady star in Murcer and the Yankees are gambling that Bonds will blossom into a mini-Mickey Mantle ..If the Yanks got the worst of the deal, percentages, attendance — . ... — — The UUAB films this weekend are Medium CooI (tonight) and Magical Mystery Tour (tomorrow and Sunday). The Betty Boop Scandals, a collection of the famed animated shorts from the '30's and '40's, will be shown at midnight tonight and tomorrow. Directed by Haskell Wexler, the cinematographer for American Graffiti. Medium CooI is a semi-documentary portrait of a television cameraman's experiences covering the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago and the subsequent riots. The photography is brilliant, as might be expected, and the script is surprisingly aware of the then-current (and largely now-current) state of politics in America. Magical Mystery Tour is, of course, the Beatles' television film, a one-hour junket through the unbridled imaginations of the Fab Four. Those who care to ignore the lavish production and concentrate on "I Am the Walrus," "Hello Goodbye," "The Fool On The Hill," and the title song, your numbers will probably be legion, so have no fear. Tickets are available at the Norton Hall Ticket Office how were their penant chances enhanced? The quotes that are scattered randomly through the book must have been culled from the pages of every second rate sports magazine in America. I've seen them all before. Many of them, especially those of Yankee manager Bill Virdon, have already been worked to death. The photos are almost as bad, all 50 of them. They are poor reproductions of standard black and white shots that show little imagination or talent. But finally, it is the opinions that are the biggest disappointment. They often sound like someone who has soured on the National Pasttime and longs, hopelessly, for the good old days. Speaking of the contract problems Catfish Hunter had with the A's, they sayr "Charlie Finley finally achieved what the rest of the American League couldn't do. He wrecked the Oakland A's dynasty." Mr Finley is a favorite whipping post and he's the first that comes to mind in a discussion of the "uglier side" of the game. "Must the vulgar Finley always try to make a one-man show of the World Series, the game's showcase event?" Next in line was the owner from across the Bay: can't owners like Horace Stoneham stop talking like carpetbaggers?" (Does he have an "Why accent?) But the saddest complaint was the one leveled against the high-salaried hold-outs: "Must the players be so greedy in their demands when they are so fortunate to spend years in the major leagues?" Major League Baseball 1975 does not have all the answers it claims to have, but it will prove a functional additional to your back pocket if you hesitate every time someone asks you who the NL batting champ was in 1953. -Michael O'Neill uuab pNe acrs pim ccxnm proudly pre&nts Medium Coot frf, march 2x directed, by Haskel Wevier starring- Robert .Forster er Verna B loom fri,marchii crs3t,mar.xx at midnight i/1rfU~/ll -Mystery Tour S .sat,marchaxersuiyrian-u made by the Beatles .a -rffSTYBo©** %/ all shows confmnc&thmtrt for information, coll 5x17 � Page fourteen:.

In light of the rash of Anti-Semitic grafiit which has recently appeared throughout the Joseph Ellicott Complex, in Norton Hall, and outside the Chabad House, it is necessary to understand and remember the implications and history of this type of activity. Jews, though they have achieved influence and affluence in this country, and are allowed to practice their religion freely, have not always been blessed with such fortunate circumstance. Jews have lived in the shadow of persecution and degradation since bffore the time of Christ. Pursued and despised, forced into usury by medieval European rulers, their lot has not been an enviable one. Jews have been accused of the Blood Libel, or the murder and use of a Christian’s child’s blood for the baking of Passover matzo countless times since the year 1144 (in England), and as recently as 1912 (in Russia). Jews were accused by the Catholic Church of influencing the Protestant movement and the split from the Catholic Church. Pogroms in Europe resulted in the deaths of entire communities of Jews, and the Inquisition was responsible for the killing of countless tens of thousands of innocent Jewish Martyrs. Though six million Jews were murdered in Europe such a short time ago, there are those who still talk of annihilating a people only fourteen million strong who they feel are out to take over the World. Those who advocate the destruction of the Jews (or any other group of people) should ask themselves what they hope to accomplish. Not only Jews, but humanity itself has suffered too long at the hands of Hitlers and Inquisitions to allow this to .9 .6 - — ~tn go on. To those responsible for the slandering of the community of Jews or any other people, we ask, why do you do this? Surely you can’t hope to better the world by adding to its suffering and misery. Every member of the University community should be ashamed at this disgrace, and not forget what has happened, so that it may never again happen in the future, here or anywhere else. Jeff Bado Howard Crane Michael Raff Roy Chipkin Steven Nozik Charles Wallin Bonnie Waxenberg Clifford Cappelli Chuck Halstrick Elizabeth Esmay Michael Sugerman Thanks to Leftist By the time 1 began my freshman year at UB, Attica was a year old. I had heard about the prison rebellion, and the state’s brutality in retaking the prison from the inmates. This event, however, seemed to have evaded my own attempt at grasping the full significance of the massacre, the grand jury investigations, and the trials that followed. Attica, subsequently, faded from my stream and the public stream of consciousness and became just another political tragedy among many that have plagued our society. After the initial shock, the facts started to emerge behind the screens of political censorship. The state, all of a sudden, was shown as a shifty and frightening political entity trying to cover up their handling of Attica Rebellion. The hostages were killed by ammunition fired by the attack force, and did not die from slit throats as the governor maintained. Rockefeller and his men had not done everything they could have to avert the massacre; prison conditions that were the discontent underlying cause of prisoner by the were exist) ignored that still (conditions prison adminsitration, even though they were aware of the consequences of such inaction. These facts were supported by the governor’s the own hand-picked investigating committee which published their McCay Commission findings in their book A ttica, over the objection of then governor Nelson (now Vice President) Rockefeller. Well, what is all this? and what does this have to do with us anyway? Attica has a lot to do with us all, and is not one of those distant events that we hear about now and then on the news. The people of Buffalo can not just file away and forget Attica, because Attica is here, now, in Buffalo County Court on Franklin Street. No matter how hard the state has tried to hush up the events on September 13, 1971, they have failed. Every new fact uncovered by the defense is a shocking example of the state’s inability to come to grips with the problems ofall its people. 1 too, was unaware of the realities of Attica. I had always been interested in investigating the situation more, since 1 had realized that something was not right in all the official explanations. 1 finally had the chance two weeks ago Friday to witness firsthand the judicial system’s handling of the Attica fiasco. I was plenty shocked with what I saw. The realities of the trial were not fully felt by me until I went down there. 1 had become so conditioned to hearing the kind of things that go on in a courtroom in America, that I had lost the true understanding of the situation be not experiencing it firsthand, and feeling the impact that comes from this recognition.

The Attica trials shocked me back into the recognition of the America 1 had begun to know and fear. The iron gate seperating the trial rooms from the hallway, (and guarded by about four Eire County Sheriffs) was my first taste of the reality of Attica. I was a bit bewildered by all this at first, but walked in anyway. One of the seated Sheriffs told me to come over to the table (which was about four feet from the gateway) and asked me my purpose in being there. After explaining I was there for the trial of Hill and Pemasalice, I was made to empty all my pockets onto the table, (which 1 did). 1 was then escorted into a curtained-off booth, where a cop told me to spread my legs and put my hands in the air.

After sitting there a while, I realized that something was not right, and asked the fellow next to me if he was here for the Attica trial also. He said he was, but was kind of confused, since all he had seen were these people plea-bargaining for the past twenty minutes. Ten minutes later, one of the Sheriffs came in and told us that the' Attica trial was next door. We thanked him, and went into the trial next door where we saw Kunstler, Clark and Company caught up in heated debate. The jury selection was long and tedious, marred by debates and private conferences at the judge’s bench. It was boring at times, these ten minute discussions, so I folded my arms and leaned back in my chair. A full twenty seconds later, I was informed by another one of the sheriffs on hand that if I wanted to stay in the courtroom, I would have to change my seating posture. You are not allowed to read either (during one of those ten minute conferences, I was told to close my magazine or leave), and smiling attracts too much attention. There was also no talking, stretching, yawning, scratching, or other such display of emotion. I felt as if I was on trial. The judge was constantly baiting William Kunstler and Ramsey Clark, and they were subsequently getting into the most ridiculous arguments you could imagine. This was the judicial process. I can give you more accounts of what happened there, but to receive the full impact of the American Judicial system performing its duty, you would have to go down and see it your self. If you have never been thoroughly searched by an Erie County Sheriff it is worth going down there to experience what real “criminals” have to go through. In short, yo have everything to gain and nothing to lose by going. corporations (IRS 990) during the first three years after incorporation (1970—72). The failure to file is due in part to the ignorance of prior IRCB officers, and a mix up over the filing of form 990 in 1971 that resulted in the failure to file in the subsequent two years. Last year we discovered that these forms were not filed and preceded to hire an accounting firm to reconstruct the records of the corporation and file the necessary tax returns. The accounting fir.a of Lawrence H. Sunshine C.P.A. filed those returns in January, 1975 in an attempt to bring the corporation back to its proper legal status. IRCB has been awaiting the results from the Internal Revenue Service ever since. One must understnad that the proposed penalty form (IRS 4816), which was received Monday, was automatically generated by the IRS computers for any returns filed late. The form states however, that the proposed penalty will be imposed unless “reasonable cause is established for the delay” in filing. Our attorney. Jack Geller, is confident that the letter filed with the IRS on 18th, will be an adequate Tuesday, March explanation and the $13,720.00 proposed penalty will be waived. M. Kimmel Comptroller Sanford GeoffLevin Director of Operations Inter-Residence Council Bussinesses Inc. Descartes revisited To the Editor. In view of all the recent verbal aggression towards Campus Security, it seems appropriate to add some balance to an “overweight” situation. Apparently security has done wrong, but an attitude that security is all wrong would be an injustice. As most active people on campus can tell you, the majority .of our campus cops are pretty mellow people who are somewhat responsive to our communities’ needs. On the other hand, many people feel that Campus Security is quite ineffective and useless in situations other than their talent for bullshitting. This also may be true, but my interpretation of an effective police force is synonymous with that of a police state. This in no way excuses campus securities’ offenses and it may even demonstrate an isolated case of “police stateism” (if in reality it is isolated), but I am sure everyone recognizes the element that invades every aspect of society. Anywhere you go there will always be the purest form of the rotten asshole, whose lust for power and status cause the distortion of a whole class of people. No examples necessary. Perhaps this proves once again that the part is more important than the whole. Thomas Skill Friday, 21 March 1975 . The Spectrum . Page fifteen •> ���HOW 5 NO. MOT RtAU-V.

Available at vour UNIVERSITY BOOKSTORE campus t �GIF Rubber duck Tw errors i picture of track s by Bruce Engel Last weekend, Buffalo’s track Bulls scored 12 points at the New York State Championships. It was no surprise that sophomore sprinter and jumper Eldred Stephens personally accounted for 10 of them. It was a little surprising that he long-jumped over 23 feet. Most of the 19 year old management major’s long jumping has been in the 21 foot range. “He just wasn’t jumping the right way,” said track coach Jim McDonough. McDonough explained that the basic problem was that Stephens simply wasn’t getting high enough off the ground. (Can you imagine a student who lives in Goodyear Hall having trouble getting high?) Stephens would land prematurely because the trajectory of his jump was too low. McDonough claims that he noticed this error last season and tried to correct it then. However his young star wasn’t comfortable with the new style so McDonough allowed him to go back to the old way, which was still good enough to win. Suddenly last week, as McDonough tells the story, “Stephens came to him and said, ‘Coach, I’m not jumping the right way at all’.” The adjustment was made and Stephens went consistently over 23 feet at the state meet and may start breaking 24 soon, which would rank him among the best in the East. The surprising thing is that it took as bright an athlete as Eldred so long to figure out that he could be jumping a lot better. Stephens is the kind of athlete who makes a point of knowing his body and studying his technique. Of course, his jumping has suffered simply because there is no place for him to practice jumping during the winter. But while it is too cold to go outside, one can frequently find him in the basement of Clark Hall diligently working on his sprint start or strengthening his legs on the weight machine. But then, Eldred Stephens is just full of surprises. At 5’7” and a mere 137 pounds, he doesn’t look like one of the University’s finest athletes. To look at him in street clothes, one wouldn’t expect that he is capable of a 9.6 hundred, a 23 foot long jump and a 47 foot triple jump. On the track he sees a different person. The fact is that, next to wrestler and soccer Jim Young, Stephens the most superb athlete the athletic department can boast. probably is Since joining the track team last year he has dominated it. With the exception of promising shotputter Walt Halady, hard working Larry Menthkowski and a few respectable freshman distance men, Eldred is that track team, a fact that disturbs him very much. “I felt a lot of pressure at times last year,” he said. “In the bus going to away meets the coach would tell everyone to try to improve. He’d tell me to win.” Basically track is an individual effort, but it would frustrate Eldred he won and the team lost. “You feel like you haven’t accomplished anything,” he said. It bothers him that he gets all the attention and his teammates get none. The Bulls did win one meet last season. All Stephens had to do was long jump, triple jump, 100 yard dash, 220 yard dash and run a the win leg of the 440 yard relay team. Eldred has also high jumped once or twice and could probably do well in 440. There must be times when McDonough thinks he could do anything. when Eldred enjoys helping the team but would prefer to restrict himself long to the jumps and the 100. He thinks the 220 and the 440 are too for him and feels wasted in a relay. “Why run me in a relay when we only have one other sprinter.” And he is quite right. The Bulls would probably lose anyway. Knowing him from afar, one sees an introverted, shy individual. “The guys on the team would laugh if you wrote that I was shy,” he said. “I'm always joking and clowning around with them.” He admits that this is a side of him few people see. Psychologists have labeled the sprinter as flamboyant, abrasive, and a super-extrovert, with the tendency to brag “1 am the greatest” a la Muhammad Ali. But Stephens refuses to broadcast his success In fact, it turned him off when he saw his idol, world class sprinter Herb Washington in person at a meet in Cleveland last year. “The dude must have had 15 sweat suits on,” he said. “One from every big race he’s ever run. It’s really gone to his head. Stephens is modest, more modest than he has to be, but one finds none of the thankful apologetic stereotyped negro athlete in him. “Black people have done more for sports than sports have done for them,” he claims. “Basketball, football and track would not be what they are.” Stephens has quite a wrap on Jesse Ownes, another former idol. Despite being the symbol of the oppressed and discriminated against black (he was meanly dehumanized at the 1936 Olympics, where he won four medals, and could not even find a job afterward.) Owens came out strongly against the proposed Black boycott of the Mexico Olympics in 1968. “After what happened to him, that made him look like a Tom to me,” said Stephens. Yet he realizes that Owens, as just one man, was probably trapped. “Someone should have done something for him. The government should have stood up for him.” In 1975 things have changed. Racial incidents that were once common could never happen today. But that’s not to say that everything’s perfect. “You’re born with respect,” Eldred said to me. 1 had to score touchdowns to get it.” Stephens was a three sport star at Niagara Falls High. things people don’t even He still feels subtle forms of prejudice Kids that don t know how to react to seemingly doing. they are realize an excellent black athlete say things like “You’re good, aren’t you?” “What do you say to that?” Eldred asked me, knowing full well 4 that greater minds than ours haven’t solved this problem. I guess I m something of a hypocrite,” he says. “I see things that are wrong, but I back away from them” No more of hypocrite than most of us. Probably more aware, certainly more talented. - inform our readei of the story aboi rather than “old playing with a nil Joe strikes out A Sprin by Sparky Alzaim Campus Editor Joe kicked the dirt off his cl home plate with the same piece brought down to Fort Lauderdale winters.

He fell over the snoozing Ron Blomberg, jamming his thumb on the Boomer’s batting herlmet. Bloomberg laughed heartily but it didn’t ease the throbbing pain in Joe’s finger. “Shaddup Blomberg! I was in Triple-A before you got Bar Mitzvahed.” Joe was through for the day, and perhaps, for the winter. Yankee 3rd base coach Dick Howser asked Joe for the cleats. They were on loan. He clumsily lopped them off his feet, neglecting to untie the laces. Joe place-kicked the shoes over to Howser, who by this time, had turned his back on the 12 year veteran. One cleat found its mark, leaving Howser to cluth the nape of his neck. Joe was through for the winter. “I’ve been trying out for the Grapefruit League now, all with the Yankees.

Sparky Lyle danced before Joe, waving the entire chord, completely detached from the cooler, in front of his face. “That’ll cost you,” said Manager Bill Virdon. “That’ll cost you, that’ll cost you, that’ll cost you!” warbled the entire relief corps. They danced around Virdon, and picked up Lyle in a hero’s celebration. “They’ve got no respect for that man,” Joe lamented. “The pitchers mock him, the fielders ignore him, and the bench rides him to Teaneck.

The budget recommendations were released more than six weeks ago. SUNY spokesperson Russ Gugino said Monday that the Chancellor was awaiting clarification on whether a rent hike was “built in” to the big state estimate of anticipated income. Although the Student Assocation of the State University (SASU) reported that it received “statements from the Division of the Budget that a rent hike was, in fact, not necessary,” Mr. Gugino that the said the situation was “unclear,” Chancellor had received no indication from state officials. “No one is trying to raise rents unnecessarily,” explained Mr. Gugino, and if the Budget Division says that a rent increase is not needed, Dr. Boyer will not recommend one. However, if the $3.5 million cannot be accounted for, Mr. Gugino inidcated that rents would have to increase. SASU Chancellor informed Boyer representatives in February that a rent hike had been “mandated” by the Division of the Budget. Additionally, after a recent Board of Trustees meeting in New York City, Dr. Boyer told 300 demonstrating students that there was a “50-50” chance that rents would be raised. But the Chancellor said at a subsequesnt meeting with SASU and State University officials that he was “pushing toward no rent increase . . . and my discussions with the Division of the Budget make that prospect hopeful.” Mr. Gugino said all the debate surrounding the anticipated budgets would be a “moot point” if the State Legislature does not approve the budget in its present form. The legislature can make changes in the budget, which must be passed by April I. SASU is opposed to any rent hike because “it would limit access to higher education.” The SASU publication, Update, reported that in testimony delivered February 13 to the State Senate Finance and Assembly Ways and Means Committees, SASU President Dan Kohane called upon the legislature to block any dormitory rent hike. Mr. Kohane reiterated Governor Carey’s campaign assertation that “the state, not the students, must bear the burden of financing higher education in these days of inflation and higher costs. “1 wish to make clear to you that a rent hike would be no different than -a tuition hike,” Mr. Kohane told the Committees. “It makes little difference where, or in what category a discrepancy in figures has occurred because both tuition and room rent come out of one basket, the studnet’s poclet, and go into one basket, the [State] University income fund.” Update also reported that SUNY officials said a room rent hike could be justified because it would reflect a cost of living increase. But Mr. Kohane said teenage unemployment is already 18.3 percent and bound to get worse when colleges close for the summer, and a rent hike would “hack away ruthlessly at a class of people mostly young people already among the most seriously affected by the dowturn in the economy.” Officials in the Division of the Budget had claimed that their revenue projections were accurate because dorm occupancy and collection rates will be higher next year than in previous years. They also pointed out that SUNY will have an extra $2 million to use wherever it is needed since tuition waivers were reduced by $2 million. that the state Mr. Gugino explained supplemental budget, which is formulated after the - - - IRC faces possible fine on back taxes The Inter-Residence Council (IRC) has until Friday to respond to an internal Revenue Service (IRS) notice that it owes as much as $14,000 in penalties on back taxes. IRC President Leigh Weber confirmed reports from a highly-placed IRC source Monday fhat the IRS notice warned of the possible penalty, and that it was due to failure on the part of several past administrations to file for non-profit status. However, IRC’s legal counsel Jack Geller said there is a good chance the penalties will be waived when the circumstances are taken into account by the IRS. He said the notice was equal in weight to a “form letter,” mailed out automatically by the IRS computer anytime it detects a late filing of the non-for-profit status form. The notice states that IRC must convince the IRS by the end of the week that the penalties are not justified. Mr. Geller said he will “pull out all the stops” in his efforts to defend IRC. If necessary, he said he would seek outside help, although he conceded that he is not in the habit of using “political influence.” He does not believe this will be necessary, however. “After all, this isn’t a big business we’re dealing with here it’s a student organization, run with student funds,” Mr. Geller said. This administration has really bitten the bullet, making the huge decision when they took office that they were going to try and clear up the bookkeeping mess that was given to them.” “This is the chief argument 1 am going to present to the government,” Mr. Geller said. “Also, the fact that the late-filed forms really haven’t hurt anyone, just broken the rule, will be brought out.” When asked if, in the event that IRC’s assets could not cover any penalties levied, individuals would be held liable to pay a portion of them, he said it was doubtful. “I haven’t done any research into the question,” he said, “because 1 .wasn’t about to spend IRC’s money on researching a problem that may never occur. At this time, then, I really can’t be too sure.” The IRC source said the penalties were calculated in the following manner: a maximum penalty of $10 a day can be levied, according to the notice, with a maximum of $5000 a year. This amount is due for 1973 and 1972, but only $3720 is charged for 1974. All the forms were filed this year, as IRC began its financial housecleaning. — —Kraftowltz Dan Kohane main (Executive) budget is approved, is designed to provide funds where they have been cut because of miscalculations or other errors. He said the supplemental budget derives its revenues from the same “pot” as the Executive budget and is “miniscule” compared to the main budget. Additionally, it is a “ground rule” that state agencies do not request restoration of itejns cut out of the Executive budget, so that SUNY will probably not ask for additionaly dormitory funds in the supplemental budget, even if dorm rent must be raised. Mr. Gugino said this year was the first time that state budget officials and SUNY disagreed over anticipated dormitory income. He added that the Board of Trustees, which must approve any dormitory rate changes, will not take any action until the $3.5 million discrepancy is cleared up. SASU also argued that a room rent increase would be unfair to students because they “already experience often cramped, leaky, pest-ridden dormitory quarters.” Additionally, SASU reported that the National Commission on the Financing of Postsecondary Education said for every $100 increase in college costs there is a 2.5 percent drop in enrollment. Therefore, SASU argued, a rent increase and the simultaneous cut in tuition wavers would severly hurt SUNY students, who come primarily from families with a net taxable income of $12,000 or less. Ziegler cancels lecture tour in wake of protests Former Nixon Administration Press Secretary Ron Zeigler stepped off the college lecture circuit before he started. Faced with cancellations and protests from students who objected to paying fees varying from $2500 to $3000 to any former member of the Nixon White House, he* announced last week that he would not make any speeches in order to keep from reopening the wounds of Watergate. Mr. Zeigler was scheduled to speak at this University yesterday. but the cancellation extended to contracts already signed. Speakers’ Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow said he has no plans to bring suit against Mr. Zeigler for breach of contract. Though Mr. Zeigler has never been implicated in any of the Watergate scandals, his last-ditch and, some say, continuing defense of ex-President Richard Nixon, has resulted in guilt by association. Mr. Zeigler faced his first controversy at Boston University the student where decided government against paying him a $3000 fee and said he could exercise his right of free speech only if he exercised it for free. BU President John Silber offered a $1000 honorarium from non-student sources, honorarium from non-student sources, but Mr. Zeigler declined the offer. (BUj Local issue The projected Zeigler appearance created a minor controversy in the Student Assembly, when members tried March 5 to pass a resolution expressing displeasure at the idea of paying Mr. Zeigler a substantial fee and letting him profit from his former boss’s misconduct and the country’s trauma. The Assembly failed to pass the resolution, however, most observers attributed the defeat to the confusion of the many issues presented in making the case for the resolution, and the lack of practical effect the resolution would have had if it had passed. At this time, Mr. Morrow said he had no idea who he would ge to replace Mr. Zeigler. Former White House Counsel John Dean, whose testimony helped break open the Watergate scandal, had also pulled himself out of the lecture circuit. Mr. Dean, who had spoken at the University of Virginia and other schools, said he quit because he constantly had to defend his fees, which were as high as Mr. Zeigler’s, instead of speaking about his chosen topic. �Looking toward the sun to solve energy woes by John Christ Special to The Spectrum Fossil fuels such as petroleum (CPS) and natural gas currently provide 97 percent of the energy used in the U.S. and many people have begun to realize that in 50 years at the present rate of these fuels will be gone. consumption wheels be turning in 2020? How will the Some scientists have pointed out that the ideal long-range source of electricity should be cheap, readily available and non-polluting. Yet despite the fact that such a source of power exists, it has been largely overlooked, perhaps because it is too obvious solar energy. Ultimately, the sun already provides all power on the planet. It nurtured the plants which eventually became or fed the fossil fuels of today. It unevenly heats the atmosphere and ocean of the planet, causing wind and water currents. And finally, it pours out heat and light essential to every living thing. For example, on an average June day in southern California the sun produces the equivalent of 730 megawatts per square mile of land. - - — - , Constant supply “Solar energy is constant,” pointed out John Reynolds, an architecture professor working on solar home heating projects at the University of Oregon. He and colleagues David McDaniels and Douglas Lowndes are strong advocates of solar energy. According to the three men, capturing the sun’s rays to heat a home is a simple concept, involving relatively standard technology and tremendous conservation of energy. of a the Basically, operation solar-heated house involves several steps. Sunlight strikes a solar collector which consists of corrugated strips of black metal encased in glass. This heats water which-is Jewish pumped through small tubes embedded in the collector surfaces at the rate of about a gallon a minute. The hot water then enters a storage tank. At this point, the various experimental systems usually differ. The hot water is used either t6 provide direct heat, to heat other gases or liquids which provide direct heat or to power pumps and other devices to produce heat. Two drawbacks to solar energy commonly cited are cost and cloudy days. According to the Oregon group, however, studies indicate that even in the Pacific Northeast, where overcast days and common, a precipitation are very solar-heated home is quite feasible. Free energy As for cost, the Oregon group has estimated the cost of converting a house to solar energy to hit $4000 to $5000. But after the initial expense, home energy costs would be virtually free. “With energy costs continuing to rise in the future, if will become economical very quickly,” said Mr. Lowndes. The real boon of solar energy may be the development of new types of solar cells which can be mass produced cheaply. Such cells, which power a number of satellites, convert solar energy directly to electricity. Sen. Mike Gravel (D., Ark.) is a major proponent of the wide use of solar cells. “They do not produce radioactive poisons. They have no moving parts to break down. They come in small units whose failure would not black out whole metropolitan areas. They can often be placed right at the location where power is needed which cuts the need for high voltage power lines and eliminates the significant loss of electricity which occurs as power moves from a big plant to consumers,” Mr. Gravel told' the U.S. Senate. The drawback here again is the price tag. Sen. Gravel claimed that a commercially viable solar power industry could be flourishin with an investment of $100 million. Ignore solar power Needed would be large banks of solar cells, ideally in the sunny and unsettled areas of states like Arizona and Nevada. According to Isaac Asimov, renowned biochemist and writer, solar cells working at only 10 percent efficiency, covering 30,000 square miles, would produce enough energy to meet the present needs of the entire world. Yet despite the possibilities, both the Congress and President Ford have ignored solar power, largely in favor of nuclear fisson. Three billion dollars have already been pumped into the nuclear program, and experts have said that three times that will be needed to make nuclear-generated electricity a viable energy source. The total budget set aside for solar research over the next five years equals the cost of one 500-megawatl nuclear breeder reactor, Mr. Gravel has noted. Unfortunately, that'figure is likely to decrease. Neither President Ford nor the current Congressional energy plans have put more than a very low priority on solar power. Ford’s plan doesn’t mention solar power and the congressional one only calls for channeling energy tax revenue into an unspecified energy development fund. Congress, in one of the very few actions if has taken to investigate solar power, passed a law last year that provides for a pilot program to study the use of solar collectors to supplement existing energy supplies for office buildings and to reduce peak load demands at central power stations. The House of Representatives also passed a bill establishing an Office of Solar Energy Research last year, but the bill died in the Senate and has not been reintroduced in either house this session. No one can tell whether energy priorities will be changed, or if the little money being sent to solar researchers will produce a breakthrough to call attention to solar power. Hopefully, the sun will keep shining until the answer becomes obvious. defense leader Kohane focuses on alienation by John A. Fink Staff Writer Spectrum Addressing himself to such topics as American foreign policy towards Israel and the alienation of large numbers of young Jews, Rabbi Meir Kahane, the controversial founder of the militant Jewish Defense League, attracted an overflow crowd in Norton’s Fillmore Room on March 4. Rabbi Kahane, who began a one-year prison term yesterday, underscored the dangers which lurk in the world today. He said our era is unparalleled in the 4000 years of Jewish history and “it holds within it the possibility and probability of the redemption of the Jewish people or the kind of holocaust such as we have not yet seen.” The 42-year old Zionist leader remarked that a world beset with racial, social and moral crises presents “the ingredients of a terrible danger.” He warned that when these problems are compounded with economic troubles, an “explosion” could erupt that would be blamed on the Jews. Every Jew, he said, should cautiously ask the question, “What will be?” Waning friendship Declaring that the United States is not the ally to Israel it was a year ago. Rabbi Kahane claimed that American foreign policy is slowly turning against Israel. The philosophy of past Secretary of State William Rogers continues, a policy which calls for Israel’s surrender of all territories won during the 1967 Six Day War, he said. Repeating the slogan “not one inch,” Rabbi Kahane called for American Jews to protest this policy. Israeli concessions will not bring about peace, Rabbi Kahane said, adding that the tragedy of the Middle East is not the choice between giving up lands or waging war. It is between “not giving back anything and standing 70 miles from Cairo or returning land and being 15 miles from Tel Aviv.” “Unfortunately, in either case, there must be war. And if there must be war, I say let it be 70 miles from Cairo,” he exclaimed to the loud applause of the audience. Rabbi Kahane contended that recent Arab demands the return of the Sinai seek to strangle Israel. “Remember, what did they want in 1967 when they had the Sinai and what did they want in 1956 when we gave them back the Sinai?” for Peace o pieces “And what do the Syrians want now?” he further queried: “The Golan Heights. What did they want in 1967 when they had the Golan Heights?” He said, “It is not a question of peace or pieces of land. The Arab states are committed to the destruction of the Jewish state.” Other predominant topics concerned Jewish pride, self respect, anti-Semitism and the return of all Jews to Israel. Charging that they are guilty of a lack of leadership. Rabbi Kahane repeatedly criticized the American “Jewish establishment,” which he said is responsible for the alienation of many young Jews and the “cancer” of intermarriage and assimilation. He accused the American Jewish leadership of causing the “death of a spiritual generation of young Jews.” Mr. Kahane was angered because Jews have been so willing to assume the fight for the rights and causes of so many groups other than their own. “Jewish leaders have given of themselves and broken the law for blacks, for Puerto Ricans, for Chicanes, for Eskimos, for grapes and lettuce. Black is beautiful for blacks, and Jewish is beautiful for Jews,” he said. “But that Which we did for blacks and Vietnam we did not do for our own brothers and sisters during the holocaust.” Hurting souls “The crime and sin of genocide is on the Jewish soul,” he charged, stressing that.active protest by Jews in the past could have spared thousands and perhaps millions of Jews. He cited the release of many Soviet Jews recently as an example of what a coordinated Jewish protest could accomplish. With regards to General George Brown’s remarks alleging Jewish control of the banks and media in the U.S., Rabbi Kahane millions think.” Page two The Spectrum Wednesday, 19 March 1975 . . said he was shocked that Jews were surprised. “General Brown articulates the thoughts of millions of people here,” he said. “That which he says, Rabbi Meir Kahane In reference to Henry Kissinger, Rabbi Kahane mentioned that Jews should still be vigilant because Germany had a Jewish Secretary of State in 1923 and “ten ypars later they had Hitler.” A recurring theme of the speech was the plea for all Jews to go to Israel, where they could become “complete Jews.” If all Jews would make Israel their home, he stated, Israel would be a “superpower.” Reflecting his Zionist attitudes, he said he would like Israel to be a Jewish state, “not just a Hebrew-speaking Canada.” And although he believes the American government should do what is best for America, not Israel, Rabbi Kahane contends that continuing U.S. friendship with Israel is in the best interest of America. Rabbi Kahane denied that he has urged all Jews to carry firearms. They should only know how to operate a weapon in case of necessity, he said, warning that believing that a small degree of anti-Semitism is harmless is like believing “you can be a little bit pregnant.” During the first half of the presentation, pro-Palestinian protester frequently shouted at Rabbi Kahane and repeated ftie chant “self determination for the Palestinian nation.” IN addition, when a bomb scare was announced, Rabbi Kahane said he wasn’t leaving the room because he didn’t believe it. �Summer registration The Office of Admissions and Records will conduct Summer Session 1975 Registration beginning Monday, April 7, 1975.

The guidelines, which explain the distinctions between graduate assistants, research assistants and teaching assistants, now limit the salary an employee can receive. The GSEU spokesperson claimed the guidelines can be interpreted as an the attempt by Administration to head off unionization of the graduate student employees on campus. The GSEU is trying to unionize 1200 graduate approximately students, with the active support of the New York State United Teachers. Union busters “In a general way, the revised guidelines are an attack on the union, on the sort of security the union would give us,” the spokesperson said. He indicated that GSEU would ask for a before the Public hearing Employment Relations Board (PERB) to determine if the members are actually employees. “The Administration is trying to say we aren’t,” he claimed, adding that employees are entitled to numerous “rights” while non-workers are not eligible. In a press release issued Monday, the GSEU cited an ambiguity in the guidelines’ definition of graduate assistants as students rather than employees.

Subscription by mail: $10.00 per year. Circulation average: 14,000 While the graduate assistants are repeatedly referred to as “interns” or “apprentices”, the guidelines maintain that they are not employees. GSEU claims, however, that the rights of apprentices are recognized in union contracts elsewhere. Cut-backs GSEU also criticized a secti in the guidelines which sets the maximum annual salary for graduate assistants at S390S. This would force some employees to take pay cuts next year. In 1967, the state legislature established that the pay base for graduate assistants would be equivalent to one-fourth of the faculty member’s salary. The guidelines have now set this $3905 as maximum pay, GSEU claims, even most though salaries do not assistants’ presently approach this figure. the Although guidelines prohibit graduate assistants from outside the holding jobs, spokesperson said this was only practical when the University initially pays them a “living” wage. As it stands, the guidelines discriminate in favor of those who come from high income families or who heavily incur debt to finance their studies, he said. Most graduate assistants are not allowed to have full responsibility for a class; instead, they are required to be closely supervised by a regular faculty member. But, in actuality, a of undergraduate majority contract hours are taught by graduate assistants in a number of departments and if the supervision sections of the guidelines were enforced, undergraduate education here would be in the GSEU serious trouble, claimed. Summing up the GSEU’s position toward the guidelines, the statement said: “What is missing in these guidelines is a concern for QUALITY; all we hear about is ‘expediency’ and control. “At a time when the Administration should be directing its efforts towards fighting the budgetary cutbacks jeopardizing the future of the University, they produce a document which undermines the security of graduate employees, and of the quality of graduate as well as undergraduate education on this campus.” —Forrest Four course load evaluated by Rosalie Zuckerman Spectrum Staff Writer Debate over the four course load highlighted the last meeting of the Faculty-Senate on March fourth. Analyzing the arguments against the four course load and gathering evidence to support the present system were the goals of that meeting, according to Faculty-Senate Chairman George Hochfield. Dr. Hochfield explained that the Faculty-Senatd Executive Committee is constantly “being advised” of the “chronic” pressure the University faces from the State Division of the Budget because of the four course load. He said the Division of the Budget assumes that credit hours granted must equal hours spent in the classroom, and that “it is therefore necessary for us to examine what kind of effect the four course load has had on the University in order to reply to charges that our educational program has been watered down.” Albany alarmed The size of the faculty at the University is determined by the number of full-time equivalent students (FTE’S) enrolled. FTE’s are calculated by a formula which depends on the total number of credit hours granted to all students each semester. “When we shifted to a four credit hour system (in 1968], the total number of credit hours increased, which inflated the number of FTE’s, generating more faculty. This is what alarmed the Bureau of the Budget. The State University at Binghamton is on this same system but the difference with them is that they always had it,” said Thomas Connolly, head of the sub-committee to investigate the four-course load. But former SA President Frank Jackalone claimed that the FTE figure was not significantly inflated under the four credit system, explaining that “inflation would only occur if the average student was taking five courses at four credits rather than four courses at four credits.” Additionally, Mr. Jackalone said that SUNY at Binghamton has had a four credit system only since 1966. Magic wand Opponents of the four course load have said that under the present system some students take more than four courses each semester and graduate prematurely. But data released by Dr. Connolly’s sub-committee showed that in Fall 1974 only 26 percent of all full-time students took more than 16 credits. The University must rely on the Division of the Budget for economic resources and funding new programs, according to Executive Vice President Albert Somit. “All of a sudden a magic wand was waved, and three credits became four credits without increasing contact hours,” he said. This is the Budget Division’s viewpoint and they are in a position to make their displeasure felt. We were trying to gather data to prove enrichment, but it became clear to us that this data was not available, he said. In a discussion after the meeting ended, Dr. Hochfield said the Administration was not really convinced that the quality of education has improved because of the four course load, but that President Robert Ketter would probably support whatever position the Faculty-Senate took. Dr. Ketter was not at the meeting. Not intense Physics professor Jonathan Reichert said the present system devalued natural science courses because students were not given additional credits for the extensive hours spent in labs. He suggested that a flexible credit system be considered. Biology professor Harold Segal said after the meeting that the “intensity” of courses did not increase with institution of the four course load, which was one of the reasons for changing to the system in 1968. “1 do not feel that students are putting any more into courses now then they were before the four course load,” he explained. “I am against The Spectrum editorial that said ‘vote against getting rid of the four course load, don’t work more.’ But I say yes, work more.” James Lawler, professor of Philosophy, told the Senate that if the University met Albany’s demands by going back to the three credit hour system, the faculty student ratio would increase by 25 percent, in addition to a projected increase in the faculty-student ratio of 20 percent over the next few years. He said faculty and students should “come together” on this issue. “We must all unite to protest in Albany,” he urged. No security In other business, the Senate discussed the problems facing the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP). EOP director Edward Jenkins said that under present state guidelines, the program can only admit students who are both educationally and economically disadvantaged. “We would like to modify this rule so that we may direct our services to students who are economically disadvantaged but who meet conventional educational standards,” he said. Dr. Jenkins also discussed the temporary status of EOP counselors. “All of our counseling staff have temporary appointments. They could be here 20 years without job security,” he emphasized, adding that the current structure makes it difficult for the University to attract and retain able professional people. The Faculty-Senate voted unanimously to discuss these two concerns at the next meeting. Dr. Somit announced that despite budget problems, the University has been authorized to appoint 75 percent of available graduate assistantships and to make six to seven key faculty appointments. He said the University was “gambling” with every appointment it made but that they were necessary to keep programs running next fall. Dr. Somit also told the Faculty-Senate that the recent library budget slash was made on the basis of erroneous information. “We have 'protested in writing and orally to Albany and there is at least a chance that they will reconsider that reduction,” he said. Library officials, here, however, are optimistic that the libraries’ budget will be restored. Wednesday, 19 March 1975 The Spectrum .

The information he does have is based on statements made by others,” said Mr. Jackson. by Sherrie Brown Spectrum Staff Writer Judge Gilbert King has reserved decision on a subpoena request by the Attica Defense to require Vice President Nelson Rockefeller to testify about his knowledge of events that led to the death of William Quinn, the only prison guard to have allegedly died at the hands of prison inmates during the 1971 Attica uprising. for defendants Attorneys and Charles Decajewiah further Pernasilice want a explanation of statements by Mr. Rockefeller made last year before a House Judiciary Committee that William Quinn died from wounds incurred after being pushed out of official window. The a commission that investigated the uprising said the fall from a window was a “manifestly false rumor.” The prosecution is trying to prove that Mr. Quinn died from head injuries after being beaten by the two defendants. No statement yet Mr. Rockefeller has made no statement concerning the possible subpoena, according to John Mullikeni, a member of his White House press staff. In Attica testimony last week, Robert Kopec, a witness for the prosecution, testified that he had seen Dacajewiah hit Mr. Quinn on the right side of the head, just above the temple. This is the first testimony that has specifically located the area of the head where Mr. Quinn was fatally struck. Mr. Kopec further testified that Dacajewiah had told him the day of the uprising that he had hit a prison guard. “He told me, he thought he had killed a guard at ‘Times Square’ [part of the prison] that morning because he was hitting him and just lost his mind and he kept hitting him and hitting him and hitting him until blood came out of his eyes, ears and mouth and that’s why he thinks he killed him,” said Mr. Kopec. intimately involved’ In arguing for Mr. Rockefeller’s appearance, defense attorney William Kunstler said, “We are not dealing with a functionary or subordinate, but with a man who was intimately involved with the events of Attica.” Mr. Rockefeller had ordered the state police to retake Attica prison, an action which resulted in the deaths of 39 prisoners and hostages. In opening statements, the defense had expressed its intent to prove the charges against the defendants false, and defense attorneys feel Mr. Rockefeller’s testimony will show this. ”We feel that the indictements in this case and other Attica cases are a of Governor whitewash Rockefeller,” said Joseph Heath, a defense lawyer. William E. Jackson, a lawyer for Mr. Rockefeller, argued that any testimony by him would be inadmissible as evidence. “He is not only not a material witness, he is not a witness at all,” Mr. asserted. “Mr. Jackson Rockefeller was simply not there. j In cross examination, Mr. Kunstler brought out Mr. Kopec’s own history in an attempt to discredit his testimony. Mr. Kopec had been convicted for burglary, possession of burglar’s tools and conspiracy to commit burglary. In addition, his father-in-law had complained that Mr. Kopec had threatened to burn his house down. Mr. Kunstler also noted that Mr. Kopec has the same physical Dacajewiah, as appearance inferring that Mr. Kopec could have attacked Mr. Quinn, not Dacajewiah.

The relatively small amount of sex solicitation that does take place is a mere vestige of prostitution’s heyday in this city. In 1940, the Queen City was an “open city,” filled with massage parlors and walk-in whore houses. Now, the small number who do sell their bodies, or have it sold for them by pimps, are mainly street walkers. They operate mostly in the West Chippewa district. Many are drug addicts, C<r u working to support their pimps, or their own habit. The Chippewa operations are mostly cheap and dirty. Much ot the sex occurs in alleys, parked cars, taverns, or dingy hotels. Many of the men who pay for this are middle-aged and middle-class. According to Captain Kenneth Kennedy the Police of Department’s Bureau of Vice there are 25-35 arrests for prostitution monthly in of Buffalo. After a period investigation, which might include plainclothes surveillance of the alleged prostitute’s activity, the police make their arrests. These arrests often result from close communication with the FBI Investigation, Criminals The can be misdemeanor, a which means 90 days or a $1000 are on placed fine. Some probation in lieu of or alter serving their sentence. The customer, on the other hand, is rarely arrested. Though he too is the object of police investigation, as Captain Kennedy prostitute convicted of .insists, usually less than fen men are arrested annually. According to Mr Kennedy, this is because "the prostitues are actively time, there all the soliciting people' on the street. Johns, however, come and go." It therefore easier to compile is against evidence the strong woman Arrests of pimps are also very TODAY!!! rare. Typically in the background, the pimp sends his “girls” out and has them return to him with her earnings. are If the “girls” arrested, he will most likely provide bail and other legal aid. Often, the pimp is the only Symposium of job opportunities Some pimps, however, do get either arrested, caught and because they were too aggressive in making solicitations for their a by soliciting women plainclothesman or because one of their prostitutes complained to the police about them. The latter is similar to a dog biting the feeding hand, and does not usually occur. - & According to police records, there is evidence that a pattern of anti-social behavior arises from the pimp-prostitute culture. Many pimps teach their prostitutes to shoplifters. In become good Buffalo, some of the women who walk the streets by night are busy stealing from the malls and shopping centers by day.

Dr. Shafer began by defining the use of a stereotype as “dealing with something in such a way that eliminates, or decreases, its individuality,” with both positive and negative results. On one hand, he said, a growing child must be able to “classify” people and things out of the ocean of stimuli the world presents to him. Stereotypes aid the child in “orienting himself” to his environment, and in his “self-definition.” Dr. Shafer believes that if human beings attempted to look at the world without stereotypes in order to catagorize people it always “creating reality for ourselves” and things would result in “obsessive paralysis of thought and — — action.” “A Price” But, the use of stereotypes “has its price,” creating “a kind of prison,” for some individuals, he continued. The woman must deal with the concept of a “sex object.” There is also a belief that society is set against the idea of a “natural something” inherant in men that must be beaten back that man must be “domesticated.” Dr. Shafer said that in attempting to pinpoint how many biological differences justify such stereotypes, difficulty arises, since it has not been determined at what age children begin to classify things and people by themselves. He said it is an accepted belief that “a child’s most basic thinking about himself” and his body are influenced most by his family. - Here the child communicates “morality” as it is perceived in his household, and its attitudes toward the breasts, genitals, feces, and “who-does-what-with-whom.” The nature of these ideas “go a long way toward accounting for Attempts fear,” Dr. Shafer maintained. Boy to man He then discussed what he termed the “psychology of the male sex, and how*feelings and the oppressor” experiences in various stages of childhood come to be unconscious influences of behavior and the basis for certain sexual stereotypes in later life. From the pre-genital stage of his infancy come many of the future expectations in a woman. He learns from his mother that a woman must be tolerant, warm, responsive, eager to please, and willing to “baby” him. As he grows older, he is encouraged to forget these ideas, but Dr. Shafer said that “the desire to be babied is a wish never given up,” and is often a source of anxiety to the mature man, who seeks to be “the boss,” omnipotent in his household. At the same time, he wants to be babied. — The genital stage then produces incestuous desires, beginning with the desire to replace his father. The small boy isn’t quite sure what he would do if given the opportunity, Dr. Shafer said, but he craves the kind of closeness with his mother that his father has. As a result of this desire, he feels several basic anxieties: that his father will discover his attraction towards his mother and punish him, by means of castration; that his mother would reject him; and that he wouldn’t be as “good” as his father and would fail to satisfy his mother sexually. This third fear, Dr. Shafer said, sometimes reoccurs later in life, and is the hidden cause of sexual inadequacy fears and impotence. Radical alteration He concluded by describing the effects of a “radical alteration” in our present set of stereotypes. He said it would “be lunatic to think we could have a society without some form of them,” and he believes that many of the people who seek wholesale changes are “too optimistic.” Their beliefs are basically that altering our stereotypes would “leave people as we know them, only nicer," and that there is nothing to guarantee this, Dr. Shafer explained. He believes that a virtual “social revolution” would accompany any great change, and would necessitate changes in our most basic beliefs concerning the family, mental health, maturity, nnd marriage. “What it makes sense to expect,” he added, would be more manifest bisexuality, homosexuality and perversions. But it is exactly “fear of radical changes that has led to acceptance of stereotypes,” even where they have proven detremental. He believes that our society should be as free as possible from the kind of “social engineering” presented in Brave New World and 1984, which he feels we are presently leaning towards. Dr. Shafer asserted that “a lot of the indoctrination and shaping of the mind” in our society is given the euphorism “culture,” and re-evaluation of this idea can go a long way toward developing a more humanistic set of stereotypes.

A subconscious desire to be castrated is formed which becomes a “terrifying thing” as the boy matures. As society’s aversion to homosexuality becomes more evident to him, his anxiety grows. In summary, these two phases leave the man with the stereotype view of a woman as a passive object of gratification, warm and responsive to him, obedient and childbearing. This puts pressure on the women, to behave in this manner, and to feel that anything else is “unfeminine.” Our society is geared, he said, toward training little girls to fit this role. Given this stereotype, and a man’s numerous anxieties, Dr. Shafer defined marraige as a “risky working relationship” which, despite what might be expected, often works out very well if the couple can strike the “delicate balance” needed to satisfy each partAer. 257 2696.

Great height and volume were considered close to grotesque, and uniformity was considered monotony. Elaborate decoration was used to exalt the office building into a “mercantile palace,” borrowing heavily from past styles. The ornamentation on the Prudential, the finely detailed terra cotta, is not just decoration but a texturing that unifies the entire facade. It also fireproofs the facade, and protects it against the elements. for As a spokesman reform, architectural Sullivan opposed the historical eclecticism of his time.

The call also urges opposition to all American involvement in Indochina, and invites the general public to attend. The entrance entire facade. to Buffalo's Prudential Building displays the finely detailed terra cotta design that unifies the Photos by Forrest assignments. Not a very pleasant chore for a man who began designing buildings when he was 17. During the latter part of his apprenticeship, Wright rebelled, and began developing his own style of free, smooth planes. He also began to stress horizontalism, where Sullivan was so fond of verticalism. It is not surprising that Wright and Sullivan had a feud in 1893, which wasn’t resolved until 1914, when Sullivan, confined to bed wiih illness, asked Wright to come and listen to his writings.

In five years of war, more than 700,000 Cambodian citizens have been killed, and 3.4 million left homeless. The reports keep piling in, graphic descriptions of Cambodian peasants whose arms and legs have been replaced by ragged stumps, hospital workers binding the hands of maimed, bedridden men to prevent them from breaking open their wounds, while flies cover their faces and crawl into their mouths. The more these routine facts of Cambodian life are pounded into our heads day after day by filmed reports from Indochina, by newspaper articles, and surprisingly enough, by some members of the House and Senate, the more unbelievable becomes the Ford Administration's desire to send even one more dollar of military aid to the Lon Nol government. But Henry Kissinger, and the men who surround and revere him, are numb to human considerations. Cambodia is merely one variable of a balanced equation to Kissinger, nothing more; his abstract, computerized mind conceives of death and destruction only in terms of their relation to history. Kissinger would have us believe that we must continue sending military aid to Cambodia to preserve our credibility abroad. If we do mu political assassinations abroad, attempted or successful.

The Spectrum Wednesday, 19 March 1975 . �Stupid students Well here we are again. And last week’s sterling effort had not even hit print yet as I began to construct yet another masterpiece. The world may not in fact be ready for two consecutive papers containing this column (a fate from which, it "turns out, fate saved you). Rut To Ihe Editor. While attending a recent Faculty-Senate meeting I was handed a folded sheet of yellow paper with “student only” written on the cover. Inside it asked that any student with a question, clear it first with Frank Jackalone (“in the green ski sweater”), who would then either answer it, in his omnipotent way, or if he deemed it fit, ask it himself. His reasoning being if a student asks a stupid question, that will reflect on the intelligence of the entire student body. He says that the Faculty consider the students stupid. Well I consider a student who asks stupid questions stupid, just like I consider a stupid Faculty member stupid or a stupid administrator stupid. So where does Frank Jackalone come off with the knowledge to decide what questions should be asked by anyone other than Frank Jackaone. Let him speak for himself and I will speak for myself.

In any event, maybe you should read the review v again and get in touch with the source of your anger. By the way, I was incredibly impressed with Tull and thought she put on a great show. - information and Ford time necessary to do all these necessaries is not so easy to procure. The only place, in fact, that seems to be available is reduced sack time. In the army, especially in the first eight weeks of training, one survives. (There wasn’t originally supposed to be a period after survival; it just sort of appeared there by itself. Because it is, in fact, only the appearance of survival glimmering on the horizon that keeps you going.) One of the critical series of events involving army basic when I went through it was the greatly reduced amounts of sleep that one survives on. Especially in warmer weather there is a rapidly developing capacity to sleep anywhere, under vitually any conditions. Sleeping while sitting down is a snap by the third week. Unfortunately, since most of the so-called training classes are conducted in that position, it is frequently a source of friction between those whose duty it is to instruct and those who prefer to make better use of a reasonably warm and quiet place by catching a little sleep. By the latter stages of such training a good sleep addict can even manage to maneuver into the corner of an army six-by-six so that it is possible to sleep while wedged upright by the rest of the mob. . Other horror stories along the same lines could be told, but why bother. Suffice it to say that by the ability to sleep under limited, or impossible conditions, you have identified a sleep eeping instead of reading, the problem has possible exception is the Public Health Service quarantining you if you have too much of one. It becomes clearer as I get foggier that sleep deprivation gives you a rather righteously mellow feeling in its own right. There are some side effects, as usual. Sleep highs seem to be most costly in terms of snappish temper and tendency to forget any number of things. Unfortunately, the forgetting is a broad spectrum phenomena. It is not just little things, such as it is stop lights that change color before you can go through the intersection, rather than stop signs. It is also such things as most of the phone numbers that you usually try to keep in your head, where you last put a wide variety of small objects; nail clippers, notebook, jackknife. Not to mention the problem of trying to remember what critical events there were that you recorded in the notebook, just before you put it . . . somewhere. If you tend to be a little twitchy in general, sleep can have, at least on me, the effect of cooling you a little. (Yes, I know I said 1 was snappy in the last paragraph, this is this paragraph!) The things that used to get me clearly and obviously anxious either fail to bother me at all, or make me froth at the mouth. The result is that I am at least a little clearer about what I am feeling at the moment. It seems that if you don’t have enough energy to waste being your usual anxious self, you just forget about it. Or become furious. Try dropping your sleep back to about six hours a night for a few weeks insomniacs need and see where your head not write nasty letters winds up. Keep your weekends near the end of the experiment as free as possible, however. You may find yourself unable to crawl out of bed some morning, and it would be a shame to miss something important. Enough. Guess where I am going? Take care - - from fiction To the Editor To the Editor. I am writing in regard to an article which appeared in the Friday, February 14, 1975, edition of your paper entitled “National Intrease in Abortions After Supreme Court Ruling” by Kim Stanton, Spectrum Staff Writer. Ms. Stanton spoke with myself and another representative of Erie Medical Center over the telephone to obtiin her information for this article, despite the fact that I asked her to come in to speak with us in person. I feel that this may be a contributing factor in the misinterpretations and misinformation that were present in this article. Regarding abortions performed at this clinic, the following should be noted: 1. Appointments are made with the use of a calculator to approximate a woman’s length of pregnancy. When the woman comes into the clinic, her length of pregnancy is then determined by internal examination by our doctor. If the woman is within our eleven week limit, the abortion will be performed at that time. 2. Medical procedures ar e always explained by a trained counselor in a pre-counseling session. Birth control is presented and explained in a post-counseling session. 3. Patients stay in the clinic for approximately 3-4 hours. The actual abortion takes about 3-6 minutes. Regarding menstrual extractions which are performed here, the following corrections should be noted: early abortion procedure. 2. Out of the 300-400 menstrual extractions that have been performed at this clinic, only one resulted in the woman still being pregnant.

One is left with the impression that the quotes are fabricated. In fact, in the whole article only R.F. Botha, the South African chief delegate to the United Nations, is named. 7. Whoever wrote the article knows very little about South Africa, and The Spectrum's willingness to publish such trash reflects unfavorably on the editorial staffs ability to distinguish fact from fiction. Susan Krasny Repressive climate To the Editor Richard Korman’s “Rosenberg case . . .” article, printed in The Spectrum of Friday, February 28th, was a heartening sight for members of the Buffalo chapter of the National Committee to Re-Open the Rosenberg Case, even though it was unfortunately too late to call attention to the showings of “The Unquiet Death of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg” on and off campus. I would wish, however, to shed some light on the mistakes of the defense in this infamous “atom-spy” case. It is fairly easy with the hindsight of 22 years to see those mistakes clearly. We are not as blinded and thwarted by hysterical anti-Communism as we were in the “McCarthy days.” It is important to remember, however, that Alexander and Emmanuel Bloch, along with their assistant, Gloria Agrim, and Morton Sobell’s counsel, were alone in challenging the monolithic United States government. Liberal elements such as ACLU steered clear of the case. Even leftists groups and publications offered no help until after the convictions, and then only a few of them questioned those convictions and sentences. The defense attorneys’ “most glaring error” was not the failure to cross-examine Harry Gold or put Morton Sobell on the witness stand in his own defense. Their mistake, and the mistake of most Americans at that time (and perhaps still today), was to presume that the courts and the FBI were that a jury would be selected of the apolitical Rosenbergs’ peers; that the FBI would not plant “evidence” in the minds and testimony of government witnesses; that the government would never stoop to forging “documentary” evidence. Emmanuel Bloch truly believed that the Rosenbergs would get a fair trial, and that they would be before the Civil acquitted. But in those days Rights movement, before the blatant political it was frame-ups of the late 60s and early 70s much easier to believe patriotically in the fairness of our system of justice, which, after all, is a “cornerstone of American democracy.” One would hope by the mid-seventies, having lived through Watergate and with the current CIA investigations, that we do not believe everything we read in the newspapers, and that we question and scrutinize carefully what our government does for, to, and in the name of the American people.

Mr. Kohane said, although there was no evidence of a need for such a measure. The bill’s use of the term “political purposes” without definition or explanation makes it a potentially repressive piece of legislation, he said. “It could be stretched to cover on-campus from anything speakers to athletics to student newspapers,” said Mr. Kohane, explaining that almost anything can be defined as a “political” issue if the term is used loosely. Even if student publications were allowed to continue operation, he said, their coverage of campus issues could be severely restricted. Not a chance The bill was unanimously defeated in committee, meeting the same fate as similar bills which have been introduced each year befpre the State Legislature. Irwin Landes, chairman of the Assembly Higher Education Committee, said he is “tired of seeing them.” Assemblyman John Flanagan (R.,. 7th Dist.) said he hopes this bill and all others like it, would get the “deep six.” “The argument that activity fee money is students’, supports letting them decide how to spent it,” Mr. Flanagan added.

Stephens was nipped at the wire in the fifth yard dash, settling for a second place in 5.5 seconds. But no one beat him in the long hump, where he set a meet, field house and school record.

Big enough? Nor does the Bubble look very big from the outside, but once inside, that changes. “I was very impressed with it’s size,” said Steve O’Hara, one of the Bubble’s first users. “But I still don’t think it’s adequate for a school of 26.000 people.” O’Hara, like many others, was forced to wait since each of the six courts was in use at the time.

However, some people were disappointed. After months of waiting, they expected more than just a sealed parking-lot floor. Others thought it was a good surface to play on. The Bubble also contains a track, and on March 7, an indoor track meet was held there between Buffalo, Buffalo Stale and Canisius. “1 talked to several of the runners,” said Bulls coach Jim McDonough, “and they all were very delighted.

After months of waiting, the Bubble finally opened, and North Campus residents descended on it, hoping for a chance to play some basketball. The Bubble was brand new, and many came to see it out of simple curiosity. From the outside, it is green, white and ugly. It has been described as “a glowing caterpillar,” and “something that had lost a race with the Goodyear Blimp,” but the Bubble certainly does not look like a recreational facility.

Seniors Jim Young and Charlie Wright, who qualified for the event through the Eastern Regional Tournament, found rough going at the national championships held in Princeton’s Jadwin Gym last weekend. Young, wrestling one of his best matches this year, decisioned Iowa State’s Randy Nielsen 14-8 in the first round. In the second round, Mark Belknap of William and Mary, the top ranked wrestler at 134, proved to be the stumbling block for Young. Belknap, who also eliminated Young last year, took an earlv lead on a takedown but his control was short-lived as Young escaped. Young started the second period on the bottom and remained there. At one point he rolled to free himself, but as he tried for the reversal, Belknap recovered to regain control. The third period opened with Young on top but he was soon reversed. He escaped only to be downed by Belknap once more. With the score and the clock against him, the match was out of Young’s reach. Comeback and letdown Balknap advanced to the semi-finals, making Young eligible for the consolation round.

Mr. Sostre faces life possible imprisonment under New York’s “persistent offender” law because it was his third felony conviction. Supporters of Mr. Sostre will demonstrate in Plattsburg at the sentencing next week. [ icmg Buffalo as well as many other northern cities.” A spontaneous outburst erupted on Buffalo’s East Side in 1967, and Police Commissioner Frank Felicetta charged that Mr. Sostre was the leader. Although Mr. Sostre was initially accused of riot and arson, he was finally convicted of selling worth of heroin and $15 sentenced to a 25 to 30 year prison term. Many observers questioned the fairness of the 1967 trial, since the chief prosecution witness, Arto Williams, recanted his testimony after the trial. In a sworn statement, Mr. Williams has since claimed that his cooperation with police was obtained in exchange for leniency in a separate drug-related case. When Mr. Sostre appealed to the State Supreme Court, however, Judge John Curtin refused to overturn the conviction anyway. The case is now being appealed through federal courts. • Martin Sostre Shortly after the all-white jury verdict, guilty returned its Antonio Rodriguez of the Martin Sostre Defense Committee stood up and raised his arm in a salute to the defendant. About twenty spectators joined him in the salute. Mr. Rodriguez began reading a statement condemning the trial as a frameup. Most of the statement was drowned out by the cry “Free Martin Sostre.” Police thenrushed into the courtroom and Judge ordered the Fcinberg demonstrators arrested, including a pregnant black woman who had attempted to leave. Mailjouse lawyer’ Mr. Sostre has spent most of his seven years in prison in solitary confinement, including the last two and a half in Clinton State Prison, supposedly for refusing to shave off a quarter inch beard. However, his defense contends that the real reason is his militant defense of prisoners’ rights to be treated as human beings. Through the courts, Mr. Sostre won the right for prisoners to receive uncensored mail, and to practice Islam religion without Sostre’s harassment. Mr. numerous legal briefs have earned him a reputation as a “jailhouse who lawyer” constantly the entire prison challenges system. A major focus of his efforts has been opposing rectal searches. Prisoners in solitary at Clinton are required to submit to the search to allow guards to look for weapons, although 24 hour confinement makes it difficult to obtain contraband. Additionally, buards are subject to disciplinary action for failure to perform the exam. Five years ago, Federal Judge Constance Motley ruled that the rectal search was “degrading in the sense that it is needlessly dehumanizing.” The court also awarded Mr. Sostre $13,000 for “cruel and unusual punishment” because he was in solitary, or the “box,” so long. The judge’s landmark decisions were later overturned on an appeal, however. Recanted testimony Twelve people were arrested for contempt of court and released a week later on bail pending an appeal, which will be heard next month in the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in Albany. The Defense Committee expects to win the appeal because it claims that the judge illegally backdated the contempt citations instead of submitting them immediately. Additionally, the actions of particular individuals required in the citations are not Forcible search Earlier this month. Federal specified.

Rather than deciding this, Dr. Lawler said, the administration should spend its time fighting cutbacks. “If we spend our time worrying about who will cut whom, about which department or individual is most expendable,” said Dr. Lawler, “the present fears will be realized and we will be instruments of that realization.” Dr. Lawler called on all UUP members to joing the statewide letter-writing campaign against education budget cuts now being carried out by the New York State United Teachers (NYSUT). generating “a drawing up “contingency plans” administration of — Inflation The GSEU explained that although this The University will also lose either 50-150 faculty lines or 200—600 graduate assistants (or a combination of the two), according to the graduate student group. “Rather than actively resist cutbacks,” charged GSEU, “the University management has accepted the governor’s budget and now turns to paring off what they would call ‘excess baggage’ our jobs, our minority programs, our wages.” The GSEU called for “an organized and unified staff, by faculty, professional effort” nonprofessional staff and students to fight the Carey budgets through marches on the Capitol and similar means of protest. In addition, the GSEU endorsed the UUP-NYSUT letter-writing campaign and has called on all members of the University community to join in that effort. the — SUN Y instructs Ketter not to fight for increases in budget by Richard Korman “one unit of a system,” he said, requests that for stressing additional funds must initially be made through the State University with rest supplemental Despite anticipated cuts in services and personnel, the University will not ask for more money in Governor Carey’s proposed State University budget because SUNY has instructed President Robert Ketter not to request additional funds.

Fear cuts It also calls for reductions in expenses, space instructional rental, nuclear science and technology and other unspecified areas for a total of $464,000 in savings. Thus far, the proposed cuts in the library acquisitions, Nursing facutly and Student Services have caused the greatest apprehension. The library cuts which University would slash the libraries’ rate of acquiring new volumes by one third would be “devastating” to the University — — the many Western New Yorkers who use them, according to most observers.

No. 64 University of New York Wednesday, 5 March 1975 at Buffalo Rosenberg witnesses fell prey to FBI grilling by Richard Korman Campus Editor Editor’s note: The following is the second of a series of articles dealing with the unanswered questions in the 1951 trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and Martin Sobell. This installment explores the testimony of Harry Gold and David Greenglass. Except for statements made by Harry Gold, the only other testimony which directly implicated Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for stealing the atom bomb was given by David Greenglass, his wife Ruth, and Ethel Rosenberg’s brotherMr. Greenglass told the court of how the Rosenbergs recruited him and his wife into Soviet espionage, and how, at the Rosenberg’s urging, he secretly gathered information from the Los Alamos Project near Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he worked as a mechanic. The information he gathered by sight were diagrams of the lense molds needed to begin thejmplosion reaction used in early nuclear weapons. Mr. Greenglass, who was a high school graduate, later made sketches of the lense molds from memory. He later turned over the sketches to Harry Gold, who he said called on him at his Albuquerque apartment. Both Gold and Greenglass, with later corroboration from Ruth, said Gold came to the door with the password “1 come from Julius,” and the matching side of an oddly cut jello boxtop, which had been given to him by Julius at the Rosenberg’s in New York. Large picture painted Mr. Gold further testified that he turned over the information furnished by David Greenglass to his espionage superior, Anatoli Yakovlev, whom Gold said described the information as “very excellent.” The picture painted by the prosecution was that the Rosenbergs and Harry Gold were part of a larger Soviet spy ring in America directed by confessed British Soviet spy Klaus Fuchs. There is no taped or written record of Klaus Fuchs ever identifying either Harry Gold or the Rosenbergs. Klaus Fuchs has in later years declined comment on the matter. At the same time Harry Gold said he was leading a double life as a soviet spy, he was a bachelor working in small industry as a chemical engineer. At the obstruction of justice trial of Abraham Brothman and Miriam Moskowitz, both alleged to be members of the Communist Party, Mr. Gold, on cross examination, confessed that he had maintained a fantasy wife and family for years. He told so many stories that sometimes he thought “smoke would come out of my ears,” he said in court. Interrogation When alleged communist spies were questioned by FBI agents, it was typical for them to interrogate a suspect for hours or days at a time, often making a variety of charges and threats, and in the process, giving the suspect a fairly good idea of the crimes he had allegedly committed. Recordings of pre-trial statements by Harry Gold show that he identified the Greenglasses and the Rosenbergs in this way: FBI agents placed before him two lists of twenty names. The agents would point to various names on the lists. At the top of one list were the names David and Ruth Greenglass; at the top of the other list were Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. It is not clear just how far the FBI agents went in prompting Harry Gold’s memory of people he never knew. David Greenglass’ first contact with the FBI came at a time when he was under a great deal of personal stress. Although not directly essential for disproving the case against the Rosenbergs, it is helpful to understand the personal weaknesses of the chief witnesses, such as the fantasizing of Harry Gold, and how these peculiar weaknesses were seized upon by the FBI conspirators. “Perverse satisfaction” In their book Invitation to an Inquest which many consider the definitive work on the Rosenberg-Sobell trial, Walter and Miriam Shneir write of Harry Gold: “Fear of punishment, which might ordinarily deter , one from falsely confessing to a capital crirfte, apparently did not influence Gold. An ominous hint of his perverse satisfaction at the punishment soon to be meted out to him is contained in the closing paragraphs of one of his pretrial statements; I must be punished, and punished well, for the terribly frightening.things that have been done . . The manner in which all the pieces of the giant jig-saw puzzle, of which I was a part, are falling ever so gloriously into to reveal the whole picture has added a place tremendous zest to my life’.” These were the words of the once obscure chemist who was suddenly catapulted to fame by his confession and naming of his fellow conspirators. American conspiracy laws have been a source of controversy in recent years, largely because of the attention brought by the trial of the Chicago Eight in 1970 and the conviction of the Watergate conspirators earlier this year. Because the charge was conspiracy, the crimes allegedly committed by the Rosenbergs were invisible. No physical evidence was offered by the prosecution. The lense mold sketches and the cut jello box shown to the jury were replicas of the originals. The sketches were drawn again from memory by David Greenglass for the prosecution. The jello box was cut by the prosecution in front of the jury. . — — Substitutes These substitutes for real evidence were not challenged by the defense. For all practical purposes, they concretized the alleged crimes for the jurors, and, amidst a miasma of detail, became the actual physical evidence in their minds. The only proof that a crime had ever been committed came from David Greenglass. Any doubt of his credibility would almost destroy the prosecution’s case. And there are several strong hints that David Greenglass was not the most reliable witness ever to take the stand.

Unconfirmed reports Speculation tha the decision to stop the patrols came from officials on the Administration could not be confirmed. Mr. Michaels said his committee was attempting to arrange a meeting for later this week with the Administration and Campus Security. The purpose of the meeting is to get assurances that what Mr. Michaels characterized as “unconstitutional harrassment” would end. Mr. Griffin argued that law enforcement could not be effected “without offending somebody.” He claimed he was unaware of any harrassment or entrapment, and that his efforts to deal with complainants had been unsuccessful.

The actions stemmed from unhappiness with the quality of FSA services. USG President Ann Kindell said, however, that she was dismayed that the administration has misunderstood the intentions 4 of the USG committee because pf the misconduct of “troublemakers: who took the leaflets as an excuse to yell, make noise, and create disruption on campus.” Although several unidentified individuals jumped on top of tables, making it seem as if there was a “boycott” of FSA, Ms. Kindell claimed the USG was simply encouraging constructive criticism and change. “We are encouraging students to use off-campus facilities, to save themselves some money, until we can negotiate with FSA to improve the quality of their services,” she said. USG’s major complaint deals with the inconsistent prices and quality of FSA services. The Pub, the Bookstore, and the cash lines all operate under separate management even though all are FSA tributaries, Ms. Kindell explained. “As a result of the separate managing policies, prices of identical items vary at different locations.” She noted that sugar selling for $2.00 per box at one area only costs $1.66 at another. Quality Students are also dissatisfied with the inconsistent quality of the food at different service areas. Ms. Kindell complained that one cash line serves sandwiches and’ subs with nearly twice the meat of the other lines. The complaints of varying quality apply to board contract lines as well. “One night, half the pork chops will be greasy and the other half won’t be ...” one student explained. Dan Sawers, the College’s Coordinator of Communications and Auxiliary Services, agrees that many of the student grievances are valid, and said he is willing to meet with student representatives this week to “Work things out.” But he denied students’ that FSA accusations have jbeen dosed, ano unresponsive. Ms. Kindell said the news media arid the college newspaper, tl)t Record, contributed to the misunderstanding between USG and the FSA administration. She accused “those who have taken advantage of out intentions” of impeding any progress toward a solution. Ms. Kindell said she expected the FSA to be more responsive to student suggestions in the future, and that the negotiations would ‘‘without proceed misunderstanding and interference.” _ ■ MK SF=* K.AI—MK "r, HIC=9IK We Are Not Only A Ski Shop g XK=T| —Santo* A disappointing student rally A Student Association rally to support the four-course load Monday was termed “disappointing” by SA President Frank Jackalone. At the small gathering in the Norton Conference Theater, Mr. Jackalone accused the Faculty-Senate of delaying action on the four-course load question until now, to capitalize on the confusion caused by the change in the SA administration. The Faculty-Senate met yesterday to review the findings of a Senate subcommittee that has been investigating the issue since September. Subcommittee Chairman Thomas Connelly said the Faculty-Senate will be a “no-action” hearing, since there will be no voting on any proposals introduced by the subcommittee.

Dr. Connelly said the new system “would not affect students already involved in degree programs,” hoping that “it would only apply to incoming freshmen. “If that isn’t how it is, I certainly won’t vote for it,” he said. As an alternative, Mr. Jackalone described the resolution drawn up by SA when the Senate committee began its investigation. It stated that a change in the present system would create a “dangerously inflexible and rigid system” of academic policy, force an increased demand for undergraduate courses to crisis proportions, place further stress on already overloaded facilities, and create scheduling and advisement problems for all undergraduate students.” i Ah SA alternative proposal recommends that faculty-student committees be established within each department to determine the educational goals, course offerings and credit distribution for that department under a four-course system. Good attendance Discussing Mr. Jackalone’s accusations, Executive Vice President Albert Somit said, “Neither I nor Dr. Ketter would comment on such a remark unless it was directed to us personally or we had seen it in print.” A member of the Student Assembly who attended the rally encouraged Mr. Jackalone, as “the drtfinfe forcd behind SA*$” to urge the members of the Assembly, which is “the voice of the student body,” to attend yesterday’s meeting.

Fate of the Prudential Bldg, speaks for all city landmarks Editor’s Note: the following is the first of a two-part series on efforts to save the historic Prudential Building in downtown Buffalo from demolition. by Ilene Dube Feature Editor Those who are fighting to save the Prudential Building are attempting to establish an ordinance that will prevent the demolition of any historical landmark in the city. “Buffalo is one of the few communities of its size in the country which has no existing mechanism to protect the community from capricious wreckage of important buildings by economic interests,” said John D. Randall, architectual associate in the Office of Facilities Planning. Mr. Randall is meeting this morning with Common Council President Delmar Mitchell to discuss the proposed ordinance* Two councilmen and two legislators are expected to submit resolutions supporting it. The council will also come up with preliminary figures on the cost of renovating and rehabilitating. Mr. Randall said this might cover cleaning, window repair, lobby restoration (including the removal of the newly-added black tile which covers the old mosaic and stained glass), upgrading the finishing,fixing the damages from the fire on the terra cotta and on minor parts of the facde, paint removal from the bronze stair rails and removing miscellaneous patchwork from the arch details. Electrical, heating and mechanical repairs must also be made. Quite a bill Mr. Randall estimated that the restoration will cost over one The 'udential ng on Chui ch ai irl Stn Photos by Hank Forratt million dollars. “This is restoration of over 100,000 square feet,” he explained. Mr. Randall blames the former owner, the Buffalo Holding Corporation, for the building’s downfall. They failed to maintain and upgrade electrical and heating faciltities and were responsible for covering over the building’s original decorations. Worst of all, the building started losing money after a fire last year badly damaged three floors. Only 40 to 45 percent of the available space was rented, compared to 95 percent in newer structures like M&T Plaza and the Ellicott Building. “It was not rented because it was not competitive,” Mr. Randall explained. “The building has deteriorated from age, and the former owners didn’t improve it. Companies were unwilling to rent Iron grill work on the elevator doors. because of the shabby interior,” he continued. But, on the other hand, “if renovated, it would be a prestige building, and command as much rent as the others,” Mr. Randall believes. Moving away In 1968, the Telephone Company, which used many of the floors, moved into its own building. In 1973, the State University at Buffalo Law School moved out of its three and a half floors into its current facility at the North Campus. Now, mostly small businesses remain a small publisher, a rug cleaner and others. Last September, things got so bad that the Buffalo Holding Corporation had to give up possession of the property and the United Founders Life Insurance Company assumed custody until it could be sold. With the building for sale, some observers fear that buyers will want to demolish it as a tax loss device. It if is knocked down, and a parking lot put up, it will genereate more revenue than the current structure without even putting up a capital investment. Those working to maintain the historical structure are trying to get the state or the county to buy it. The Victorian Society in America, encouraging its preservation, had urged former Governor Malcolm Wilson to acquire the building for the state for office space. Also rallying for its preservation are The Landmark — Mosaic frieze in the lobby. Society of the Niagara Frontier, the staff of the Albright Knox Art Gallery, the Buffalo Western New York (WNY) Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, the Western New York Landmark Society, the Burchfield Center, the WNY Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians, Dean Harold Cohen of the School of Architecture and Environmental Design, and the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Soceity. Credit where due In 1973, the National Register of significant buildings added the Prudential building to its list, giving *it access to federal funding programs. It is expected that the National Historical Park Service will soon name the Prudential building a national historical landmark, which will allow up to 70 percent of facade restoration to be paid by the federal government. Supporters are awaiting the of a $10,000 feasibility study that was proposed by Mr, Randall. This study will attempt to- discover how sound an operation the restoration will be, how much it would cost, what kinds of renovation must be done, and how appropriate it would be for government use. The proposal is currently being blocked in Albany, where Governor Hugh Carey issued an executive order that limits the signing of new consulting contracts. acceptance —continual on paga 6— Wednesday, 5 March 1975 The Spectrum Page five . . �New plans at Buffalo theaters Prudential... —continued from page 5— Not so foolish Fear of the building’s imminent destruction is justified, considering what the city did to Frank Lloyd Wright’s Larkin Soap Company building. After numerous attempts to save it failed, the building on Seneca Street was razed in 1950. Sullivan’s buildings in Chicago, the honie of his firm with partner Dankmar Adler, have been torn down all over the place. The Wainwright Building, still standing in St. Louis, owes its continued existence to Mr. Randall, who appealed to the government and private organizations to save one of the most significant buildings in the history of American skyscrapers. The Wainwright Building was the fist one built by the Alder and Sullivan firm, while the Prudential was their last work. The two buildings are almost idential, but close inspection reveals how Sullivan’s style became more sophisticated through the years. It has been said that Adler was the engineer of the firm, and Sullivan the architect. To encourage the Common council to enact the ordinance which would recognize the esthetic and historical importance The American Contemporary Theater whose past work leads us to expect fine and exciting work, will be presenting Tony Doran’s play Internal Combustion. of this building and others, Mr. Randall urges people write their councilman, mayor, County Executive, county and state legislators, and governor. If Louis Sullivan were here today, he would probably be abhorred by an attempt to preserve his buildings as an aesthetic edifice. But if the state can make utilitarian use of the building design under the belief that “function follows form,” he would be as satisfied as any architect can be.

In the 1800's a poor priest met a boy of the streets. At that time there were thousands of such boys in Turin ... hungry, homeless and without hope. But what could one priest do? Without money. Without support. Without even a building to house them. But Father John Bosco did make a difference. He founded the first community that was dedicated primarily to youth. With a program of play, learn and pray he brought the boys from the streets back to God and gave them a means of earning their living. From such humble beginnings a movement began that a movement that has touched now reaches around the world the children of the lives of millions of youngsters St. John Bosco.

If the state were to acquire the building and assume the responsibility for restoration, it would cost less than the state now spends leasing space in other downtown office buildings. The Prudential contains 90,000 square feet of usable office space, which can benefit the state by enabling it to house related offices in one building. There is no question as to the bidding's adaptability for use. If it were destroyed, the estimated cost of building a new facility of the same capacity would run around 6 million, according to Mr. Randall. This is three times the top estimate of renovating a contemporary building of the M&T Plaza type. “We no longer have the capacity to produce the ornament at any price,” said Mr. Randall. | 9 - & *W** Don’t let Albany cut the SUNY Budget!!!

Childhood education discussed by Jody Gerard Staff Writer Spectrum The psychologist asked the young child whether it was possible to be both an American and a Protejstant at the same time. “No,” the child replied. “Only if you move.” This example of “Child Development and Education” was cited Saturday by David Elkind, a renowned Piagetian psychologist from the University of Rochester, before an attentive audience in Norton Hall. The lecture was presented by the Educational Psychology and Development Psychology Graduate Student Association. In learning, “We talk a great deal about taking things in,” Dr. Elkind noted. However, what Piaget addresses himself to is “externalization.” It is by such a process, Piaget says, that “the mind creates reality,” according to Dr. Elkind. When interacting with a new environment, we make mental constructions and often times become unaware of our part in this process. “Healthy” Dr. Elkind referred to the process of externalization as a generally “healthy one,” except when it comes to teaching children anything. “What is, for the adult, ‘out there’, is not ‘out there’ for the child,” he said. Stressing the “complex constructive mechanism” by which adults conceptually differ from children, Dr. Elkind said that in teaching children, we often “give them the words and ideas, but not the opportunity to re-present it. We give children the language but not the concepts, or the concepts and not the language." Dr. Elkind went on to explain that a discrepancy often exists between language and concept, and that the child must construct “meanings.” He asserted that children need “things to think about, to touch and squeeze.” The stress which traditional education puts upon books and words is “far removed from the concrete experience” without which words cannot be tied together, he said. Elaboring on the concept of “re-presentation,” Dr. Elkind explained that it is a “kind of assimilation, of making things your own.” He then turned to the topic of teaching children how to read and its problems. “Letters are very complex constructions,” he said, “when we try to push reading too early, we often run into difficulty.” In France, for instance, where reading is introduced at age five, there have been numerous cases of early reading problems. Children begin to read at age six and a half. Sweden, however, has had a significantly, lesser degree of reading problems. Speaking about the dilemma of improvement in modern education. Dr. Elkind noted that “millions of dollars are being spent trying to break down the learning hierarchy by people who are sitting in chairs thinking about the hierarchy; and it is nonsense. If you want to leam about the learning hierarchy, look at children!” “One of the real values of Piaget is that he has given us the tools of analysis; of ways of looking and understanding the school curriculum and the personal curriculum,” he added. Artistic tasks Shifting his emphasis to the role of aesthetics in learning, Dr. Elkind defined beauty as being “in a way, ‘appropriate meaning’, the fit between the re-presentation and the thought. When the child finds the right word to fit the thought, the better the fit, and the more aesthetically pleasing,” Dr. Elkind said that in modern education children are given tasks that are far beyond their capabilities. They thus become frustrated to the extent that the discrepancy between expectation and ability is so great that pursuits are often given up. If children work at artistic tasks which are at their own levels, “they can do some very beautiful things,” he declared. Additionally, when children are finally able to re-present what they understand, that’s an aesthetic experience.” Play, for instance, is often a demonstration of mastery; when the child masters a skill, he or she begins to play with it, constructing variations. Ultimately, “There is no education without work, play and aesthetic experience,” Dr. Elkind stressed And when you come right down to it, how much of all of us is, in this learning respect, still and forever children?

The plan announced last week by the U.S. Rail Association (USRA) is designed to create a self-supporting rail network by ifi'ble li' d — — nation’s hard pressed freight carriers.through massive FEderal loans and private investments. The proposal calls for a federally-subsidized private corporation, the Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail), to assume operations of those lines deemed capable of operating at a profit. Established with a $1.5 billion federal subsidy, Conrail would exchange its stock for the existing rail facilities and undertake long range efforts to rehabilitate and upgrade present rail lines.

The other, the Chessie System, was requested to take over the Reading Railroad lines from Philadelphia and Allentown to Harrisburg. Both balked at the plan and expressed doubts that the non-profitable lines could be made to operate in the black. The threatened New York routes could be salvaged, however, if the state is willing to underwrite 30 percent of their upgrading and operation costs. The remainder would be picked up by the federal government. The funds provided the $250 million Rail by Preservation Bond Issue voted last November may be used to preserve several of these lower density lines.

Wednesday, 5 March 1975 The Spectrum . . Page seven �Edtfo The Ziegler affair their recent victory in the William Kunstler—Ronald Reagan controversy, certain factions of the Student Assembly now seem determined to prevent Ronald Ziegler from speaking here as well. In letters that appear in today's issue of The Spectrum, they claim that $2500 is too high a price to pay someone who played a key v role in misleading the American public during the Watergate scandals. Speakers' Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow has responded to these charges by asserting that Mr. Ziegler's intimate association with the sordid affair will enable him to explore the Watergate episode from a unique perspective. Buoyed by While there are sound philosophical arguments on both sides, the issue here is not freedom of speech, but whether it is right for the Assembly to interfere once a contract of this kind has been signed, or after the fact. Most observers by this time probably realize that a speakers' program limited by the tastes and imagination of one person is inherently unsound. As we noted during the Kunstler episode, a broad-based committee should ideally by formed to select speakers so there will be more diverse input. But for the immediate present, Mr. Morrow has used the authority vested in him by Student Association to sign a contract with Mr. Ziegler's agent, stating that Mr. Ziegler will speak here next March 18th. Calling him to question after he signed a contract within current guidelines will not serve any purpose but to undermine SA's credibility when it attempts to line up future speakers. Opponents of the Ziegler appearance would be far better off if they spent their time drafting proposals that will open up the speaker selection process for next year, rather than superficially flexing their muscles every time they get emotionally aroused, thereby treating the effect instead of the cause. If they are so morally repelled by the fact that Ziegler is using one of the ugliest episodes in American history to increase his personal wealth, they are perfectly entitled to picket his appearance or confront him verbally. We hope that the Student Assembly will have the good sense to understand the distinction between stop-gap, quack remedies and carefully-developed, tong range solutions, and not try to force a cancellation of Mr. Ziegler's appearance at today's meeting.

Wolf time Department of English Even if it were possible for a majority of the faculty to agree upon a common course and style of study, it would not be practically or economically possible in these times for a university the size of SUNY at Buffalo to set up an across-the-board curriculum. It is important for us, nonetheless, to have an imagined idea of intellectual coherence and value if we are to serve our students and make a special contribution to higher education in America. ** Is there anything we can do? A committee in each department should be asked to arrive at a concept of general education: with the proviso that the field in question justify its proposed program in terms both of the University as and the its character, its resources a whole dominant issues of contemporary and global culture. Departmental proposals would be submitted to a University-wide Committee of Basic Education. The Committee of Basic Education would be charged with initiating its own ideas and evaluating the varied departmental proposals. If departmental drafts were limited to 1500 words and honed to specific, pointed and enumerated recommendations, the Committee’s sifting and synthesis need not get out of hand. (B) The Committee of Basic Education would then make a strong, comprehensive report to the -if Faculty-Senate. If the report gained approval with the added blessings o f the only in principle President, we could say: here is a preamble for our university; let each department enact it serious by bringing themselves into a measure of real harmony with the proposed, general program. (C) A special two-year School of Basic Education should be set up (with fifty students and ten faculty in its first year; fifty students and ten faculty more in the second) to implement specifically and to refine the ideas of the Committee of Basic Education. Thi? School of Basic Education would have the task of educating one hundred students each year in three areas of study (twelve hours per semester) and of serving as a model for the whole community. Wherever possible, the University should (D) compile an archive of video, audio and film material that could be used in the School. It is now possible electronically “to make the best that has been thought and known in the world current everywhere.” It is now possible, in many areas, to humanize knowledge, “to make it efficient outside the clique of the cultivated and learned,yet still remaining the best knowledge and thought of the (A) - - - - (E) The Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) should be reformed with academic and bureaucratic functions separated. Three academic administrators drawn from the existing divisions of Humanities, Science and Technology and Social Sciences, would be able to encourage departments to for non-majors of such compelling offer courses interest that distribution requirements would be - - sought after. These administrators would encourage faculties to hire generalists (or to find them on location at U.B.) to teach these courses; literature and the history of science; technology and ethics; ethics and law. The University should initiate an ongoing (F) Conference of the Future. Distinguished representatives from the disciplines would address themselves in lecture or colloquia to the future of their fields in the light of the University as a whole Findings in one area often become metaphors for another: uncertainty from physics to literature; ritual behavior from ethology to theater; “systems analysis” from cybernetics to group psychology. When these applications of metaphor from one field to another become imbedded habits of thinking, we will be on the verge of building a University without walls. This University should devote itself to (G) providing intensive and collective analysis of one context of social concern: race, poverty, aging, mental health, mass media and society. If the University can harness its diverse resources to provide a definitive understanding of any socially disquieting phenomenon, it will make a contribution to problem-solving and serve the polity. (H) The University should encourage the City of Buffalo to enrich our cultural lives. Couldn’t there be an integrated arts and science center here? Anyone trying to propose a curriculum must keep four questions in mind: (1) Will the proposed curriculum reclaim humanistic ground? (2) Will it apply equally to students as a whole? (3) Will the curriculum bear up over the inevitable generational, historical and technological shifts of temper and power that affect all societies? (4) Is the new curriculum sufficiently innovative to justify disrupting the old? A student who enters U.B. in 1985 will live well into the 21st Century. Can this student master a set of intellectual tools that will hold up for the passage into the future? Is there a Basic Education that will stay basic?

Wednesday, 5 March 1975 I agree with your February 21 editorial, “Campaign Against Gays” in part. That is, “the issue here is not the legality of overt sexual acts, but whether basic human and constitutional rights have been violated” the rights of the gays, of the officers, of the students and of the faculty and - administrators. When a person’s rights have been violated, he should either give them up or fight for them. Some students and faculty claim that some Campus Security officers have violated their rights. Some Campus Security officers claim that some students have violated' their rights. These people should either take these matters to court and fight for their rights or give them up. A few weeks ago on a Monday night at about 5:30 p.m., I gave up my rights to use the basement bathroom of Crosby Hall. I entered the bathroom with the intent of using the facilities to take a shit There are five stalls in the bathroom and all were in use, so I decided to wait. While waiting I combed my hair and wished somebody would hurry up. Then I saw something in the mirror that 1 could not understand. I thought it must be a poor reflection so to verify it I turned and looked. I counted five stalls and six pairs of legs with slacks down. I decided to start using another bathroom and left the building. I do not know if it was two men or two women or one man and one woman in that stall or what they were doing. I do know that what you do in private with a consenting person is your right, but a bathroom is a public place! A. Becker P.S. 1 am a University student and also work for a private security company.

Mr. Morrow’s letter defending his decision to Ronald Ziegler to this campus misses some very important points. Mr. Morrow clouds the issue of whether or not we ought to pay Mr. Ziegler to take the podium at this Univeristy by discussing the First Amendment. What does the First Amendment have to do with Mr. Morrow’s decision to bring Nixon’s cohort here at the expense of student funds? The Speaker’s Bureau Chairman also claims that the “decision to extend Mr. Ziegler an invitation was based on the fact that he represents a portion of American history.” The same absurd criteria can be used to justify the payment of American Nazis, Ku Klux Klansmen, and other undesirables to come to this campus to speak. Mr. Morrow apparently has no qualms about wrapping himself in an American flag to defend his questionable actions. If Mr. Morrow is genuinely concerned with enlightening UB students with respect to the Watergate affair, he would do well to take note of the fact that many journalists, and a number of historians, have already authored books on Nixon and Watergate. Might not it be better to invite an analyst of this scandal, rather than inviting a participant in it? Must Mr. Morrow continue to bring speakers to this University who are utterly void of educational value, solely because they will draw a crowd? bring Robert Cohen Cancel Ziegler To the Editor. In the March 3, 1975 issue of The Spectrum Stanley Morrow wrote a letter stating that Ron Ziegler should be heard because “he represents a portion of American History, albeit negative, which deserves exposure and public recognition. Ron Ziegler does not have a negative point of view, It is a criminal point of view. He was part of an administration that was so corrupt, distrustful and murderous, that it was forced to resign. If it were not for a presidential pardon, it is almost sure that Mr. Nixon and his whole group would be behind bars along with the rest of the criminals in the country. Let us not forget that Mr. Ziegler was part of this. We do not allow convicted criminals to walk the streets or pay them to speak, so how can we pay a man to speak here when the only reason he is not behind bars is because his “Boss” made a deal with , President Ford. Mr. Morrow compared Ziegler with people such as Jane Fonda, William Kunstler, Lester Maddox, James Buckley, etc. These people are not criminals, so I do not see the comparison. We should not pay a man to speak about his role in criminal activities. I do not believe he has a place among moral and rightful men and therefore should be cancelled. Greg Brown “If You Don’t Bail It Out, You’ll Be To Blame For Letting It Go Down” TRB from Washington March 4, 1975 Washington is an enthralling show at any time, and never more so than now when the gathering recession gives actors heady new lines to speak and nobody can guess the outcome. Let’s review the story-line so far, before specially noting three or four members of the all-star cast. The recession, far and away the worst since the 30’s is now heading toward a “depression” label if certain arbitrary economic standards are met — 10 percent unemployment, and the decline continuing through 1975. There is no public panic so far, just a quiet, continued slide, and the remarkable thing is the lack of clamor and sense of urgency, although the economy is now operating at $175 billion (count’em) below normal prosperity levels of production. (Paradox; to curb inflation you need production; and to get production, you must end recession.) A year ago (March, 1974) some economists (we recall Arthur Okun of Brookings was one) and some liberal politicians mildly proposed tax cuts to head off a possible slump. They were jeered at and waved aside. The Watergate melodrama was the big show in Washington then, of course. When Mr. Ford came in, he thought a tax increase was maybe the right remedy. Since then he has made his 179-degree turn (he said he wouldn’t turn 180 degrees). But there is one unusual thing to be said for Mr. Ford; he has been forthright in presenting the facts, though I am not certain that even now he and the conservative advisers around him understand their social implications. Heavy unemployment for three years, unemployment 25 percent, black teen-age teen-age unemployment 40 percent. How many people have considered that America may have a “long, hot summer” in 1975? That was the kind of thing that, in the 30’s, dotted the nation with Townsend Clubs ($200 a month for everyone over 60); brought up Huey P. Long (minimum $2000 “everyman a annual income for all King”), and forked tongued rabble-rouser Father Coughlin, with 80,000 letters a week at his peak capitalists, the Jews, denouncing “godless Communists, international bankers and — — plutocrats.” Reflecting on the way anger and misery always produce political prophets, we went into a hotel press conference here last week and saw George Wallace in a wheelchair, paralyzed from hips down (rather like FDR) and fairly rubbing his hands over the prospect. He’s one of the actors to watch in the big show here. If ever a man was created to ride the crest of prejudice, bias and discontent, Wallace was. Don’t underestimate him; I’d not like being the man debating him. He can flick off skin with a twisted smile and a hillbilly retort. He has all but made up his mind to run, and, though we don’t think he’ll be on any ticket but his own, he can exert a gravitational pull that might distort the whole galaxy. Wallace’s personal doctors were on hand to attest to his physical recovery, but they said his hearing nothing about another ailment which makes reporters have to shout questions in a noisy room. Wallace rubbed his hands over his putative issues: law and order, the Boston bus controversy, bureaucrats insulting the “peoples’ — — religion” over West Virginia textbooks, above all exultation at the possibility of calling for force to keep order against mobs of those you-k/iow-who seeking food or, contrariwise, voicing the anger of dispossessed blue collar workers. Wallace is waiting in the wings. So let’s look now at just the opposite category in the recession drama: typecast Rep. A1 Ullmann, Democrat of Oregon. He’s beginning to make a name for himself as the new chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee. We guess he’s going to be pretty well known before the proposed two-weeks’ hearings on energy and taxes are over. It looks to us as though man and role had come together in Ullman, an effective figure preparing a congressional counter-program to the President’s in less time than anybody could have believed. He was elected to Congress in November, 1956, and is reasonably young for a committee chairman 61 next week. He is self-confident, middle-road, level-voiced and is making his committee jump through hoops aided by the constant presidential complaint; why hasn’t it acted faster? (It is acting faster than anybody here can ever remember before, short of war.) Ullman has plain, strong features, looks like a young Borah (if anybody remembers Borah and is representative of the new congressional leadership emerging in the post-Watergate, mid-recession drama). Critical verdict: Could be one of the most importailt and impressive figures in Washington. Just for old times sake and to show how varied the cast here is, let’s take a look at Sen. Walter Fritz Mondale of Minnesota. At 46 he’s the Democrat who quietly said after spending $100,000 in 30 states, “I do not have the overwhelming desire to be President which is essential for the kind of campaign that is required.” Exist Fritz. So what happened to him? Why, calm and unperturbed, he has a role in the recession drama, too, only a different kind. On December 9, 1971, Richard Nixon vetoed a $2 billion child development and day-care program that had overwhelmingly passed both House and Senate, it lacked seven votes to override the veto in the Senate. It would have done enormous good in today’s recession. Mondale, Rep. Brademas (D., Ind.) and others are trying to enact a new bill ($1.85 billion over three years). It would make America a little better for the unfortunate. Maybe Mr. Ford would veto it. Mondale is typecast, too, for work like that, rather than running for president. — There are a lot of other men like him, too, in Congress. Funny how hard it is for them to get anything passed! “Why is the richest, best educated, most technically advanced nation in the world unable to eliminate poverty, keep babies from dying, teach its children to read, or get the traffic moving?” asked economist Alice Rivlin, in simple wonderment. One answer is that Washington is filled with veto power, surrounded by representatives of special interests. America has a disgraceful rate of infant mortality (higher than 13 other nations). Forty percent of our young children are not fully immunized against childhood diseases. Only one of three (AFDC) Aid For Dependent Children) kids who need eyeglasses get them. At least 10 million children receive no health care at all. Forth-three percent of all mothers worked outside the home in 1971 (maybe more now, trying to keep families together. For 27 million children with working mothers there are only about one million licensed day-care slots in the country. The United States is behind most other nations in this. Fritz Mondale, that very decent man, is trying to do something about it. We thought you’d like to know. Open letter when it comes to lavishing student fee money on the An Open Letter to Students. March 18, Ronald Ziegler will be speaking on our campus in Clark Hall for the extravagant fee of $2500. We feel that this is a terrible wrong! It is not our belief that Mr. Ziegler should be denied his right of free speech, but at the sum of $2500 it isn’t very free. As students, we are strongly opposed to Mr. Ziegler’s paid appearance. The idea that our money is going to reward a man who was so influential in one of the greatest crimes against our nation and continually deceived the people of this country, truly angers us, as we know it angers many others at this University. In the February 24 edition of the Buffalo Evening News we are called “such notorius suckers On Tuesday, most faddish of currently controversial speakers.” To show that we are not all suckers at this school, we are attempting to organize an action to demonstrate our disapproval with this situation and are urging you to attend. We will be meeting this Wednesday, March 5, at 4:30 in Norton 334 to decide on what course of action we should take. We strongly urge you to attend so that we can decide together (unlike many of the decisions in student government) how we should respond to this unfortunate, but preventable, situation.

Originally a small group of men whose main purpose was to enforce University curfew regulations, this group has grown both in size and responsibility. As a group, they lobbied for and received permission to arm certain members of the force. With the rapid growth of the University came a second force of undercover plainclothesmen. security men: Together, these two forces have attempted to assert as themselves a viable law enforcement agency, comparable to those of the Buffalo Police Department and the Erie County Sheriffs Office. In the process, they began to utilize tactics of these extra-university forces, i.e., undercover agents photographing groups of students congregating for potentially political activity. The American Heritage Dictionary defines security as, “Anything that gives or assures safety.” This definition must apply to the Campus Security Force. In expanding their practices, the Security force of this University has overstepped the its purpose, those being the of a safe and secure environment conducive to the educational purpose of this of limitations maintenance University. feedback Together these instances point to a subtle, but definite attempt by Campus Security to increase its strength over the University community. The tables are indeed turning. Originally designed to protect this community, the Security now appears as a demon amongst us. Today, males are selectively being asked for identification and being warned “never to return” to certain areas of the cmapus. Tomorrow promises more widespread harrassment and ignorance of the needs of this community. It is time for a change of present procedure. At present, the only check on the activities of Campus Security remains within the force itself and in the office of the University President, We propose a Civilian Review Board along the lines of those utilized in a great many cities.

This concept is, of course, not a be-all and end-all solution to this quickly growing problem. Yet we hope that this will provide a starting place for a dialog that has long been absent and is desparately needed if the benign environment of this University is to continue. Slowly the rights of this community are being suppressed by its security force. What appears as isolated and sometimes irrelevant instances of harrassment of a few can possibly become the suppression of all. If we are to avoid this, we must act now. If you do feel that your rights have been violated, I would like to know about it. Please notify me in 340 Norton Hall, 831-5275. This is an issue that involves everyone. We welcome your input and more importantly . . . your support. , During the recent months, this University has become subject to increased harrassment by this enforcement agency. The ever-expanding law harrassment of males in the basement of Harriman is a good indication of the priorities this agency now sets for the protection of this university community. Selectively stopping and demanding identification of male students in search of gay men carrying on “overt illegal sexual acts,” is at the least a blatant violation of their constitutional rights. A “hands off’ policy by Security related to the use of marijuana on campus has seen in recent months a number of drug-related arrests by both Security and extra-university law agencies.

Some purses contained large sums of money, including cashed paychecks. The girl originally gave Campus Security a false name and date of birth, and was subsequently arrested as a juvenile. Officers Glenn Gardner and Chester Menkciena made the arrest at a Ridge Lea bus stop after one robbery victim gave a description of the girl. released in the custody of her aunt, the aunt testified that the girl was under 16. Subsequent investigation revealed that she was not a juvenile and a warrant was issued for her re-arrest. Accomplices? Additional investigation revealed that soon after the girl was released, she was arrested by Cornell University police in Ithaca, New York, on charges of grand larceny. She is presently in Tompkins County Jail in lieu of $2,500 bail. Campus Security has forwarded its warrant to the Sheriffs Department, in order to detain her for future action. Other charges are believed to be pending by Buffalo City Police. The girl told Security that she was threatened with bodily harm by an 18-year-old woman and a man she claimed was a pimp if she didn’t cooperate. She added that the woman took the money from her, then gave her a small amount of it. Security believes these people may be involved, but nothing can be proved at present. Although the girl was Each payday, the girl took wallets and credit cards from the purposes of employees working at the Main Street and Ridge Lea campuses.

Some good news and some bad news — (CPS) - With visions of income tax rebates dancing in many an inflation-weary head, more and more people are becoming excited about Congress’ new tax program. The tax plan currendy before the House provides for a rebate of about 10% of taxes due on 1974 income. The rebates would not go above $200, nor in most cases below $100. If you paid less than $100 you’ll receive back all you paid, but no more. But first, the bad news. The rebates, if they’re enacted into law, probably won’t be mailed to you until late spring or early summer. And second, more bad news The science of moving things or how to get from here to there You have to file your tax return by April 15th, compute your taxes as though there were flo rebate and pay according to printed tax tables accompanying your tax form. It must be emphasized that this plan is still nothing but a plan. But while the exact figures may vary, some form of rebate seems inevitable. File form To receive your rebate, all you have to do is file your 1974 income tax form. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will compute and automatically send you your rebate based on your return. Many students, though, are due refunds that are independent of any rebate plans. Students often don’t earn enough to be liable for taxes, yet have taxes withheld by employers anyway. By filing a tax return, you will get back your money. Legally, you are required to file a return if you have an income of $2050 or if you made $750 in interest, dividends or trust income outside of wages.

Nowadays, almost everything is taxable income. Whether you’ve collected a bundle on a quiz show, made a killing at the gambling tables, won a poetry prize or served on a jury, the law says you have to report it. Of more importance to students is scholarship money. If you’re not required to do anything but go to school to earn the scholarship, the money is not taxable. Work If, however, you perform “work” whether it’s grading papers, manning a library desk or guarding dirty towels in a locker room the scholarship is considered “wages” and must be reported accordingly. If in doubt here, check with your financial aid office for the terms of your scholarship. Tax forms are (believe it or not) relatively easy to fill out and can be completed by most people in under an hour. If you’re confused or have complicated deductions, however, don’t go to a tax preparation service. Save yourself some money and call the IRS. They’ve set up toll-free numbers all across the country plus walk-in information centers in most major cities. Finally, remember to file as soon as possible, particularly if you have a refund coming.

The Bulls set nine school records in the process. Top finishers were junior Keil Wurl’s third place in the three meter dive (329 points) and fourth place finishes by freshman George Finelli in both the 100 and 1(H) yard butterfly. Another freshman, Ted Brenner, took fifth in the 400 yard individual medley. Burt Zweigenhaft and Dan Winter also set school records though they failed to place in the meet.

Richard Baumgarten is a 1970graduate of the State University at Buffalo, and a former Sports Editor of both The Spectrum and Ethos. In this piece he comments on last week's passage of the athletic budget. His unique historical perspective on the subject clearly shows that the key issues control, credibility, priorities have changed little. Mr. Baumgarten who has done free lance writing since graduation and held down a variety of odd jobs plans to attend law school in the fall. Editor's - - Though the controversy over the recently passed Athletic Department budget appears to have slowly laded away, it seems a good point in time for students to grasp the impact of what really happened. Since 1967, when the State Board of Regents mandated that support of athletics fall upon student shoulders, the question of how many greenbacks the Athletic Department should get probably did more to polarize the student body than any.other political or economic issue on this campus. Referendums were fought, epithets were hurled and, generally speaking, students were subdivided into the pro-athletic and anti-athletic camps. The situation was partially resolved in the early I970's when the athletic budget became included in the total Student Association budget. But the biggest problem wasn't so much the economics involved, but the overwhelming communication and credibility gap between the departmental administration and leaders of the student body. It seemed as if a mutual distrust, which originated in the mid-60's and carried over into the early 70's, would forever keep the Athletic Department and student leaders from reaching an agreement. QUESTION: ANSWER: by Dan Greenbaum A genuine fear on the part of the administration Spectrum Staff Writer over loss of autonomy, coupled with student suspicions over questionable athletic policies, proved Gary Sailes and Dirk Dugan led too great a barrier to hurdle for over six years. the Scopacers to a 72-61 upset What makes the passage of the amended version victory over the Heads in the of proposal A, that guarantees the Athletic intramural basketball finals, Department $222,000 for 1975-6, so amazing is Sunday afternoon. Sailes was high scorer in the that, for the first time in a decade, a meeting of the minds between the Athletic Department game with 18 points and Dugan Administration and student leaders did, in fact, take was right behind with 17, but it was Dugan's 15 rebounds which place. The move was initiated by Director of Athletics enabled the Scopacers to take Dr. Harry Fritz, who contacted Student Association advantage of the surprisingly poor (SA) leaders and asked for an early passage of the shooting of their opponents. Greg Andzel, the key man in departmental budget. the Heads’ drive to the finals was It seemed the student leaders were as anxious as the Scopacers’ main concern. “We Dr. Fritz to resolve the situation, and so began the first serious give-and-take meetings between the knew we had to stop Andzel to win,” said Dugan, and that’s just parties in a very long lime. Months of negotiations were involved in which what they did, holding him to opponents and proponents of the athletic only 11 points and 7 rebounds. Offensively the Scopacers’ department were allowed to have their say. teamwork was the key. superb Although often loud, the meetings were handled Concise passing and an insistence tactfully, and the students were well represented by getting the good shots sharply Scott Salimando, Frank Jackalone and Howard on contrasted the outside gunning of Schapiro, diplomats of the highest degree. the Heads. What happened was a compromise in the form The Scopacers led from the of amended Proposal A. which allowed Dr. Fritz a second minute of the game and certain degree of autonomy, kept the power of were never down after that.

It the compromise were not completely happy. But it wasn’t until with three minutes was a solution which both sides could live with, and left in the first half, they started it represented responsible leadership at its best. penetrating through the middle It may never be known exactly what went into and feeding the ball to their big the passage of Proposal A, but it is clear that both center Norm Weber. Weber put in the Athletic Department and student government a couple of beautiful turnarounds leaders deserve the commendations of this campus that helped to cut the deficit to to; a job well done. 16 at the half. But besides Weber’s late baskets, the Heads didn’t have much to cheer about. Their offense was sluggish because of the absence of Andzel, who was sitting on bench with 4 personal fouls, all controversial calls. At the start of the second half, things were looking up for the Heads as they pulled within nine points. The Scopacers started to tire and looked disorganized, but the continued strong rebounding of Sailes and Dugan kept them on top. Weber hardly touched the ball in the second half though he was the only one consistently able to penetrate and score. One bright spot for the Heads in the second half was Rich Kobel, their high scorer with 15 points. However, he also ran into foul trouble, again on very questionable calls. With three minutes to go, the Heads were only trailing by nine points but were thwarted again as Wes Novak and Bob Flemming worked for good shots and froze the ball effectively.

GUSTAV 355 Norton Hall Mon.—Fri., 9—5 What did this year’s S.A. Administration do for you? A HELL OF A LOT! Unfortunately, most of you will never know the truth behind this statement. WHY? Well, the major reason has been the Spectrum's refusal to look beyond its' so-called "journalistic pride" in order to print S.A. stories of interest to all students. Imagine! We've had to pay nearly $100 out of our own pockets so the truth would be published in our own student newspaper! So here's the truth! a complete list of our successes and failtures. MAJOR SUCCESSES: 1. Revised STUDENT ASSOCIATION by creating a New S.A. Constitution. 2. Increased student membership on FSA. 3. Instituted an S.A. Travel Agency. 4. Successfully lobbied against a plus-minus grading system. 5. ’Re-ordered athletic priorities and passed the earliest unified Athletic budget ever. 6. Revamped the format for S.C.A.T.E. 7. Ensured the opening of the Amherst Bubble. 8. Stopped the arming of Campus Security. 9. Fought to maintain the Four-Course load system. 10. Helped create a University Pharmacy and Post Office. 11. Maintained an S.A. Budget in the black. 12. Created the first major survey of Student Budget priorities. 13. Prepared the first draft of a Student Bill of Rights. 14. Established the S.A. Commuter Council. 15. Activated the Undergraduate Research Council providing more research opportunities. MAJOR FAILURES —was unable to create a Rat-Pub. —was unable to extricate Student Assembly year-long budget quagmire. —was unable to significantly increase student participation from in S.A. —was unable to improve public information to Students. We wish next years S.A, a lot of luck and hope they’ll continue the many projects that have been started. NOTE: This ad was not paid for by your mandatory student fee! Wednesday, 5 March 1975 .

The sweep was overwhelming enough to pull in some Changes candidates in close races and make other races that had appeared close to informed political speculators somewhat less than serious contests. The results are as follows; President: Michele Smith, Changes, 1,182; Michael Levinson, Indian, 365; John Sullivan, Scope, 304; Steven Milligram, Rehibition/Student Government in Exile, 167; David Graham, Sunshine, 120; Peter Jarzyna, Free Beer, 55.

Her victory was almost certainly the result of her party’s domination of the election. Of the contested races (the race for Academic Affairs Director had only one candidate on the ballot). Art Lalonde had the largest victory margin, downing his nearest competitor by 951 votes. The race for Vice President for Sub-Board I was perhaps the biggest surprise. Most observers had the race Bruce going to any of the three leading contenders Drew or James Smith. But Mr. Campbell, Presberg Campbell won by a comfortable 477 votes. Judith Young, who many figured was the Scope party’s best chance for a win, lost by the relatively narrow margin of 198 votes another victim of the ticket sweep. Outgoing Executive Vice President Scott Salimando addressed the waiting candidates before the results were announced, characterizing the recent election as “a typical election” full of backbiting, suspicion and bad will. He called upon all present to lay aside the bad will and “make amends with each other not only for yourselves, but for the benefit of SA.” He wished the winners good luck and urged them to “bring SA back to the people.” — — Stein urges non-profit nursing home system to prevent abuses by Richard Korman Campus Editor Assemblyman Andrew Stein (D., Manhattan) has called for a non-profit system of nursing home care in New York State, a moratorium on the construction of all new private nursing homes, inspections and audits of currently operated private facilities. Mr. Stein, who has spearheaded an investigation into reports of patient abuse and medicaide fraud in privately-owned nursing homes as head of the state’s Temporary Cost of Living Council, told a small gathering in Haas Lounge Thursday that the inferior operation of nursing homes has made “profit synonymous with pain. “Our elderly deserve institutions which seek to provide quality care, not . . . profit for unscrupulous real estate investors,” Mr. Stein said. Mr. Stein first called for an end to profit-making in nursing homes last week in the second of a series of staff reports to the other eight members of his commission. He said he would make public next week legislation designed to bring about major changes in the concept of nursing homes in the state. Loads of loopholes “Any reimbursement formula written by government can be broken by private interests,” Mr. Stein said Tuesday. Present Medicaid reimbursement codes have allowed nursing home operators to cheat the government out of millions of dollars through loopholes in the present law, investigators have determined. Mr. Stein reiterated his attacks on nursing home owner Bernard Bergman, the key figure in the investigation. He has accused Mr. Bergman, an ordained rabbi, of owning or having interests in scores of substandard nursing homes where patients lie in their own feces, develop large, infectious bedsores, become malnourished and dehydrated, and are either ignored or intimidated by nursing home staff. Mr. Bergman controls a vast nursing home cartel and has been “living off human misery,” Assemblyman Stein charged. At public hearings investigating nursing home abuses in New York City and before a special Senate subcommittee on nursing homes, Mr. Bergman maintained under oath that he owned only two nursing homes and had not defrauded the government in Medicaid reimbursements. ‘Good’ indictments “We need indictments not quick ones, good ones,” Mr. Stein told the students in Haas Lounge. He plans on turning over information amassed by his commission to - special nursing home prosecutor Charles Hynes who was appointed by Governor Hugh Carey in January. The State Health Department ruled Thursday that Mr. Bergman had over-inflated the costs of remodeling a nursing home he owns in Manhattan by nearly $2 million. The results of an audit have been forwarded to Mr. Hynes. The New York Times reported that the Department is also preparing a test of the legality of Mr. Bergman’s license to operate the home. Mr, Stein praised reporters who have joined him in investigating nursing home abuses. “The press had done a brilliant job,” he declared, lauding the work of New York Times investigative reporter John Hess, who, along with Village Voice writer Jack Newfield, have played a major role in exposing the abuses of the Bergman nursing home empire in New York. Mr. Bergman is suing Mr. Stein, Mr. Hess and a State Health Department official for what he feels is a campaign of slanderous accusations and untruths directed against him. Tailed first Although he generally agrees with a proposal by Morris Abrams, head of the special state commission created by Governor Carey to investigate nursing homes requiring payment of triple damages on any proven medicaid fraud, Mr. Stein believes that anyone who cheats medicare “should be put in jail first.” He repeatedly stressed that his investigations have been successful because he is not a member of the New York political establishment. While conceding that his future as a politician was probably damaged as a result of his investigations, he said this was not important when compared with the magnitude of the nursing home issue. “No one else in New York politics would have brought it (the abuses] out,” he said. The young assemblyman spoke briefly and then fielded questions from the audience. Although nursing homes have been front page news in New York City for weeks, several observers were unfamiliar with the exploits of the man Assembly Majority Leader Stanley Steingut called “a goddamn liar.” —Ratlnetz Andrew Stein Mr. Stein recounted the previous “extraordinary six months” of his life in which he discovered “horrible conditions” and “incredible fraud.” He found the corruption “so widespread, we knew it could not exist without powerful political influence.” Lone dissenter Mr. Stein, the only dissenter in an 87 to one vote approving Mr. Steingut as majority leader, has said that the Brooklyn Democrat asked him not to investigate Bergman controlled nursing homes on two different occasions. Mr. Steingut is a long-time friend of Mr. Bergman. Mr. Stein thought Mr. Steingut could be defeated, or at least given a good race in the next election “if you had a lot of local support. That whole Brooklyn scene is crooked,” he observed. He denied as “totally inaccurate” reports published in the Chicago Daily News last week, and picked up by the Buffalo Evening News that he was carrying out a political vendetta against Mr. Steingut and other Democrats on behalf of Vice President Nelson Rockefeller. Mr. Rockefeller, as governor, appointed Mr. Stein to his present position. 1 ~ Mr. Stein hinted he would soon reveal information about State Health Department involvement in nursing homes under the Rockefeller administration in New York. �Prisoner of conscience Mail stop order on a term paper firm The U.S. Postal (CPS) Service has acted to clamp down on at least one term paper manufacturer. Following investigations by postal inspectors and empowered by a U.S. Appeals Court decision, the Postal Service announced early this month that a “mail stop order” has been issued against Term Paper Library, Inc. of Washington, D.C. The effect of the order will be that all incoming and outgoing mail belonging to the company will be screened. Term papers ordered by students will not be permitted to be mailed, and letters requesting term papers will be returned to the sender. All mail will be opened by the company’s employees under Postal Service supervision. The Postal Service claimed that the firm “had knowingly cooperated in a misrepresentation scheme by selling research papers to students who would in turn represent these papers at school as - their own work for grading.” Postal Service attorney Thomas Ziebarth said the Postal Service Consumer Protection Office term paper the considered company guilty of cheating and misleading a third party university professors receiving its products from students who ordered them. Alan Pederson, owner of the company, which also advertises under the name of Professional Researchers, said he thinks the action is Postal Service unconstitutional. Despite the name of the firm and the fact that it is careful not to sell the same paper to more than one person in the same town, Pederson said his product is “research papers for research or reference only.” “I don’t have to make sure” the papers aren’t being passed off by students as their own work, Pederson protested. He said his firm would appeal the Postal Service decision. — — ’ Refusal to submit to search gets Martin Sostre convicted and the Attica Trial Office, both of which played active roles in the case. The chaplain of Clinton State Prison has denounced the beatings which Mr. Sostre suffered. In addition, church leaders within the Plattsburg community have lent their support and additional aid has come from around the country. The defense charged that Judge Feinberg has been consistently hostile to the case. Although Mr. Sostre had only ten days to prepare his case with co-counsels Dennis Cunningham and Liz Fink, the judge refused to delay the trial. The defense also introduced motions for the judge to disqualify himself on the grounds that he is prejudiced against Mr. Sostre. As to the actual charges, the defense asked for dismissal because of their ambiguity, and also contended that Mr. Sostre should not have been forced to submit to rectal searches unless a physicial was present. Every motion was denied. The defense also claimed that the pool of prospective jurors did not include Mr. Sostre’s peers, making a fair trial impossible. The pool excludes students at the State University College and people from the Air Force base in Plattsburg. This meant that most of the blacks in the city could not serve on a jury. But this challenge was also denied. by Brian Land Staff Writer Spectrum Martin Sostre was convicted of a felony assault 27 in Plattsburg, N.Y. The conviction ended a three-week long trial over Mr. charge February Sostre’s refusal to submit to a rectal search on the grounds that they are unconstitutional and inhumane. He now faces possible life imprisonment. AMr. Sostre has suffered numerous beatings at the hands of prison guards as a result of this stance. He had also been kept in solitary confinement at Clinton State Prison for resisting the searches and not shaving off a quarter-inclf beard under his chin. After one such forcible search, Mr. Sostre was charged with assaulting the three officers who performed it. Mr. Sostre is presently being held in Watertown, N.Y. awaiting a hearing in Federal Court Tuesday on his suit challenging the rectal searches and his solitary Confinement. The conviction on all three counts came as a sharp blow to many of Mr. Sostre’s supporters who had anticipated a hung jury. Supporters protest was announced, a When the verdict demonstration broke out inside the courtroom. A Deja vu speech supporting Mr. Sostre was read amidst shouts The courtroom scene often resembled accounts of Mr. Sostre’s 1967 trial. The judge ruled any discussion of the political and social evils in America out of order. He also dismissed a prospective woman juror because she said she would vote according to her conscience, regardless of what the law said. The judge later threatened to gag Mr. Sostre of “Free Martin Sostre!" and other slogans. After quelling the disturbance, Judge Robert out 30-day summary contempt Fight protestors demonstrators. 12 originally held in Clinton County Jail have since been transferred to Auburn. Feinberg handed sentences to two-hour charge. Judge Feinberg find Mr, Sostre guilty it the guards experienced any “substantial" amount ot pain from his resistance. This substantial pain was later defined as any pain which was not imaginary. a During instructed the when he pointed out that both William Calley and the Nazi war criminals were convicted of crimes even though they had been supposedly following legal orders. Furthermore, the judge severely limited defense questioning of the jurors’ racial attitudes and threatened Mr. Sostre with contempt of court when he referred to the trial as a “legal' lynching.” The same threat was made when lawyer Dennis Cunningham stated that Mr. Sostre is a “prisoner of conscience” whose case has been adopted by jury to Although Mr, Sostre faced extremely difficult odds, he had also won broad public support. On the first day of the trial, the. courtroom was filled and 30-40 people stood outside in 10-degree cold to demonstrate their solidarity.

In addition, two meals will be served every day of Passover week at the Main Street Chabad House. Interested students should register at the Chabad table in the Norton Hall Center Lounge. Easier registration IS proposed for students by Liz Deane Staff Writer Spectrum Legislation that would make it easier for people to register and vote has been drafted by the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYP1RG). “Registration is the biggest impediment from voting,” said NYPIRG member Dennis Kaufman. In the 1972 election only 55 percent of the eligible voters voted, while in Canada the figure was 75 percent. The Average turnout is up to 90 percent in other Western democracies. “State-wide reform for all voters is needed,” Mr. Kaufman said. Registration laws greatly effect student voters, especially who live away those from home for college. The present interpretation of requires a student to prove his residency at college before he can vote there. This can by showing be accomplished the law financial independence, having a driver’s license, registered in the college’s location or by proving employment in that place. Campus address registration “They (voter officials) are prejudiced against a campus address,” Kaufman, although said Mr. campus for other a address is adequate purposes such as taxes or Social Security. Mr. Kaufman wants NYPIRG to change that. It doesn’t make sense to vote at home if a student has no real ties there and spends most of his time at school, he said. Those opposed to students voting at school claim that students are too transient. But studies have found that people aged 21-25 are more transient than students. The average American family moves once every five years and people who work fot large corporations such as IBM or Xerox move once every three years. None of these people, 'however, are asked to answer these questions or to prove their residency. In the United States, the complete burden of registration is put on the voter. In Canada, for example, employees of the board of elections go from house to to voters. register house Opponents of this method say that it would be too expensive in the U.S. although it costs the Canadian government only 69 cents a voter. New York State spends two to three dollars per voter to register at the place of election. Register by mail Mr. Kaufman indicated that the ideal method of registration would be by mail, but the current law requires registration in person to supposedly cut down on fraud. Fraud is probably not a large problem and could be handled the same way income taxes are, Mr. Kaufman suggested. Additionally, tine cut-backs Fi Passover Seders anyone who moves in New York State must reregister to vote. He also said the present complex registration form, which has 30 questions filled out by employees of the board of elections, could be cut by two-thirds to about ten questions. The only requirements for voting are residency over 30 days and the voter must be 18 years old. Residency may be checked by sending a non-forwarding postcard to the address given by the voter. No deal But the system would not work for students, since a student would not get the card while he is away at college. Personal checks are sometimes done by the police, but ‘Td like to see the police out said, of this,” Mr. Kaufman because “it scares people." Minnesota has started recently a mail registration system and NYPIRG is waiting to see the results of it. As another alternative, the election law may be present repealed, but that “just won't happen." Another reform being considered would change the burden of proof of residency from the student to the board of elections. No one has tried to change the law sooner because new voters add uncertainty to an election, Mr. Kaufman said, explaining that the incumbent would be put at a disadvantage removing not require registration at all. They usually have a 70 percent voter turnout with an insignificant any of fraud. New York is around 55 percent, about the same as the national average. Additionally, in some states in the deep south, turnout is as low as 35 percent. A state-wide computer system could check registration in all the counties by comparing names and security social numbers. Mr. Kaufman estimated it would cost about $1.5 million to set up. South Carolina and Delaware already have such systems. Mr. Kaufman feels that reforms will come soon. NYPIRG is presently trying to get more support. “The widespread problem with the legislators is that no one is pushing them,” he said. amount State’s proposed job eliminations by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor Governor Hugh Carey’s recent proposals for cutting the New York state budget could result in the “loss of 50 to 150 jobs” at the State University at Buffalo, charged George Boger, Chairperson of the Graduate Student Employees Union (GSEU) at an “anti-inflation rally” last Friday. “The burden of the economic crisis is being placed upon the working people of this country, and we are asked to ‘tighten our belts’ even further,” Mr. Boger said. The fact that extra sacrifices are being demanded during a period of growing unemployment,‘ increased taxes, rising prices and cutbacks in vital social services “reminds me of a recent cartoon 1 saw picturing a person biting a bullet which blew his head off,” Mr. Boger recalled. Fight cutbacks “We are not going to tolerate these cutbacks,” he stressed, “either for employed graduate students or any other group of University employees.” He then praised the initial efforts of the United impetus from the reform movement While many people blame poor election turnouts on voter apathy, Mr. Kaufman said, “I just don’t believe that apathy theory.” The hassles of registration cause the “apathy,” he indicated.

Students and University workers are recognizing their “common interests," since both want to see higher public education serve the needs of the people, “particularly in this period of growing uncertainly,” Mr. Boger said. Ron Uba, of the New York State United Teachers (NYSUT), an affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers, urged all University workers to “unite to stop the deterioration of public education.” Mr. Uba said he had heard that some teachers at this University already met to discuss “who would be let go” if cuts hit their department. “These are members of the same union,” he declared, and they should be planning ways to unite with each other to protect everyone’s job. ‘Catalyst’ Historically, the employers have always provided the “catalyst” for union organization by The Spectrum is published Mon- day, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer by The Spectrum Student Periodical Inc.

Second class postage paid at Buffalo, N.Y. ■ violating the interests or past rights of the workers, Mr. Uba maintained. In light of this, workers have found it to be in their interest to form unions, and when they worked collectively, they gained greater successes. Today, there is “fear” on the part of many individuals, explained Mr. Uba. “They want to see if thev are on the sheet to be cut, but there is no information. They will cut those who appear to offer the least resistance,” he surmised. All employees and their organizations should “take the offensive” to protect their own jobs, pointing out to the public the tremendous “waste in the state bureaucracy,” Mr. Uba suggested. This includes high salaries for “people who do nothing.” If the right priorities were set, “no state employees would have to be cut,” Mr. Uba said. Constantine Yeracaris, University delegate to the United University Professions, reiterated the need for “collective action” by all employees in the state system. No opposition Recalling a recent budgetary meeting between the state and administrators from various centers in the State University system. Dr. Yeracaris said that “not a single administrator spoke up to oppose these cuts.” Maintaining that education is one of the lowest priorities in Governor Carey’s budget, he accused administrators in the University system of “cowtowing to pressure.” “I would like to see our administration fight not only for no cuts (in the education budget 1, but ask for a higher budget,” Dr. Yeracaris said. David Adler, a graduate student employed in research at the Roswell Park Institute, and an organizer for the GSEU, explained that information was not available concerning graduate student jobs for the upcoming year, but said they had heard only 75 percent of current positions are secured. While the other “25 percent are uncertain” until April 1, Mr. Adler asserted that the union is unalterably “opposed to any cutbacks.” Recognized unit The GSEU, was formed last spring when cutbacks in employee graduate positions were in the making. Since then, an organizing conference was held in the summer, and a card authorization drive has been underway since the fall. The union plans to submit its petitions to the Public Employees Relations Board (PERB) this spring. An election will then be held, probably in the fall, for all employed graduate students on state lines, to determine if the majority desire the GSEU to be their legally recognized bargaining unit. Mr. Adler pointed out that, although pay scales for state employed graduate students were set at $3,000 in 1967, these students received an average of “$2,800 this year,” not counting further losses due to inflation. He assured the employed graduate students that the union was “going to bargain for higher wages, a cost of living clause, and a viable health plan .” Mr. Adler also said “this University has a commitment to affirmative action,” but has failed to hire an adequate number of minority and women personnel. These groups are under the greatest threat of job loss, and the Puerto Rican, black and Native American programs have already been informed of serious cutbacks. Additionally, “the Nursing School has already suffered [job] cutbacks,” explained Liz Kennedy, of the American Studies Department.

Imprisoned for over a year on Dawson Island near Antartica by the military Junta, Mr, Letelier was released last June amid widespread international outrage and intervention by Venezuelan President Carlos Perez. When Dr. Allende was overthrown in September 1973, Mr. Letelier was jailed with 34 other top officials in the Allende government. While no formal charges were brought against him or any of the other prisoners on Dawson Island, they were imprisoned simply because they were officials in the Allende govern ment. Mr. Letelier. 42 years old, has been a member of the Socialist Party of Chile since I960. He worked for the Inter-American Development Bank for 10 years and became the Chilean ambassador to the United States in November. Mr. Letelier remained in this position from then until June 1973 a very difficult period for U.S. Chilean relations The U S. government pressured Dr Allende to pay compensation for the nationalized U.S. copper mines in Chile by coordinating an economic boycott of Chile which cut off practically all trade between the two countries and made it very difficult for Chile to receive loans from either U.S or international banks. During this same period, the Watergate burglars practiced their break-in techniques at the Chilean embassy in Washington. D C. In lune l l>73, Mr. Letelier became Minister of Foreign Affairs and just a few weeks before the coup. Minister of Defense. In this capacity, he was officially in charge of the same generals who overthrew the Allende government that September. The generals had help from the U S. government when the CIA spent SI I million to "destabilize" to Allende government between Nov, '70 and Sept. '73, it was learned last year in Senate hearings. Mr Letelier remained on Dawson Island from Sept. '73 until June D>74, when international pressure forced the military Junta to transfer him and other top political prisoners to a prison in central Chile which had slightly better conditions. He lost 18 pounds while on Dawson Island, suffering from the hard labor and the bitter cold. Reports from the Chilean Resistance in Rome indicate that Mr. Letelier may have been tortured like many other political prisoners in Chile. In Nov. 1974, Mr. Letelier was finally released and flown to Venezuela after International pressure forced the Junta to release him. Mr. Letelier will be coming to Buffalo this Thursday and will speak in the Fillmore Room at 7:30 p.m. He jras decided to move to the United States, and is currently living in Washington where he is writing a book at the Institute of Policy Studies in Washington. Appearing with Mr. Letelier will be Edward Boorstein and Steve Volk. The former is the author of a well-known book in Cuba, entitled The Economic Transformation of Cuba, and worked in Cuba in the early 1960’s in the Ministry of the 1972, Mr. Economy under Che Guevara. In Boorstein went to Chile where he took a job in the Central Bank. He worked there until the coup, and managed to escape the repression of the military Junta by taking refuge in the Mexican Embassy. The Junta published his name in the press, requesting his arrest. Mr. Boorstein will speak about the economic policies of the Allende government and discuss the U.S.-led economic blockade against Chile. Steve Volk is a representative of the North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA), a U.S.-based research organization which regularly reports on Latin America. Mr. Volk lived in Chile in 1972 and 1973, and was there at the time of the coup. He will be discussing the intervention of the CIA in Chile. NACLA has done original research about the CIA and its activities in .Chile. All three speakers will participate in a discussion session after their talks. Admission to the conference is free, and is being sponsored by the American Studies Department, the Council on International and Studies, the Committee for Chilean Democracy/Committee for Democratic Action, a student group.

It has been almost two years since President Robert Ketter first voiced his concern for the allegedly harmful effects that the four course system has had on the University's requests for resources from State University Although administration. a Faculty-Senate central subcommittee strongly recommended in June 1973 that the four course load be retained, and the Senate Executive Committee reached the same conclusions the following Spring, Dr. Ketter has clung tightly to the issue, as if determined to secure the faculty's consensus for a viewpoint that is mostly his own. Indeed, the Executive Committee's THi WflOHTUFTiRS to bring the issue before the full Senate decision English is currently being filled by most likely resulted more from Dr. Ketter's preoccupation Thank god this week is over. Having sniffed, Butler Chair of Delany (no final e between the n and the Samuel R. one way own burbled from coughed, my from the Senate's and whhezed, and constant badgering than have neither seen nor heard of any skepticism. It is interesting how the Senate's first floor debate in six years on the four course load coincides with the beginning of Spring vacation and the changeover in student government administrations. The simplest way to avoid controversy is to in this explore an issue when the most vocal opposition is either absent or case SA and the student press disorganized. If this University were truly interested in having inclusive, rather than exclusive discussions, the Senate's debate could have been held last month or postponed until the end of Easter vacation. But as we already know too well, that is not the way a bureaucracy — - works. At tomorrow's meeting, the burden of proof will be on Dr. Ketter to show the Senate specific examples of how this University is suffering irreparable harm under the four course load. Assuming that he can make the four course system the scapegoat for the University’s budgetary problems, it will then be up to the Senate to be skeptical and to personally speak with investigate the matter itself people at the Bureau of the Budget and to contact other Universities that have a four course system and see if their budgets have been affected. Even if "reduced" faculty workloads are found to have shortchanged the University's request for more resources, the Senate must then ask whether the loss of resources is great enough to warrant reverting to a system that exaggerates the importance of time spent in the classroom, discriminates against students who must work to support their educations, and makes a faculty member's worth to the University directly proportional to the hours he punches in on a time clock. Because a switch to a closet five course system or any other "flexible" system of credit granting would set education here, back ten years, even the most apathetic students should get off their asses and attend today's rally in defense of the four course load at 3 p.m. in the Conference Theatre, and tomorrow's Faculty-Senate meeting at 2:30 in Diefendorf 148. — The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. Monday, 63 3 March 1975 Larry Kraftowitz Editor in-Chief Managing Editor Amy Dunkm - - Managing Editor Michael O'Neill Gerry McKeen Advertising Manager Neil Collins Business Manager Randi Schnur Campus Ronme Selk Asst.

Rumors of this column being submitted to the Guineas Book of Records are not true. It was considered but it became rapidly clear that there existed no categories that failed to incriminate me, the University or The Spectrum. So we dropped the idea and it rolled around the floor among the empty beer cans where it had come from for a while and then died a natural death. I would like to say that I made it through this birthday without being the slightest bit depressed about all the things that I should have accomplished by this time. I should really like to say that. How about saying instead that I made it through this birthday without being unduly depressed. Now if I could just get rid of the corner of head that wants to know why and how it is that I am noticing that 1 am not depressed, and why 1 am so interested in it, things would be really under control. At least that is what it says right here in my Mental Health Handbook that 1 got on the street for only $10 in a plain brown envelope. Of course the pictures they put in there to test your distraction index are awful, but I cut all of those out and flushed them down the toilet where they belonged.

The most typifying event of the week occurred while on the way into school one morning. I pulled up to a stop sign in my somewhat rusty VW and sat there waiting for it to change (the stop sign). It did not, strangely enough. After a while I realized this and drove on down the road, hoping that I did not mistake a Metro bus for a giant canary.

In the past month, the residents of the Ellicott Complex have been subjected to the insulting ravings of one (?) student. Nazi symbols (swastikas, in particular) have appeared on the walls. These are degrading to Jews and insulting to all people. Examples include “Die Jews,” “Jews Suck” and “Hebes and Jews should be baked in ovens.” Every student should be alarmed at these statements, not just Jews. Who knows where this type of attack will strike next? Every student should be on the lookout for the perpetrator, Students should urge Campus Security to catach this sick person, instead of harassing students in Harriman and Crosby.

You must go out into the world and make your way.” “What must 1 do, father?” the young man asked. “Take with you your woodcutting tools and some dried corn to eat, go to the great city of Washington, wherein lives our leader in his White Castle, and present yourself to him, for such is the custom in our land,” the father replied. “I will, father,” the young man said. He took up his tools and his pouch of dried com to eat and walked through the dark forest to the train station. When he came to the train station he asked the attendant: “Sir, when comes the train to the great city of Washington, where 1 must go to present myself to our leader in his great White Castle?” “Wazzat, sonny?” the attendant said, for he was old and hard of hearing. “I said, sir,” repeated the young man, “when comes the train to the great city of Washington, where 1 must go to present myself to our leader in his great White Castle?” “1 heard you the first time, smartass,” the attendant said. “It’ll be here sometime between eleven and Thursday.” So the young man sat himself down and waited for the train to the great city of Washington. When Thursday came and went, he asked the attendant: “Sir, now it is past Thursday and I still don’t see the train to the great city of Washington, where 1 must go to . “I heard this already, . kid,” said the attendant, whose hearing had improved, but not his disposition. “The train ain’t coming.” “The train isn’t coming?” asked the young man in astonishment. "There an echo in here? If there is. it’s a smartass echo correcting my grammar. No, the train ain’t coming, kid.” Why isn't the train coming, sir?” asked the young man They cancelled the service, kid, so walk So the young man set out walking to the great city of Washington, where he would present himself to the leader in his great While Castle.

It would save money and gas and we wouldn’t have to breathe such foul air.” “What are ya, some kinda pinko, kid? I’m not giving up this baby unless somebody makes the automakers stop making them.

HahieWesJbrt Monday, 3 March 1975 . The Spectrum . Page seven �Ziegler's right to be heard To the Editor. , 1974 an invitation was On December extended to former .presidential press secretary Ronald Ziegler by the Speakers Bureau of the Student Association to speak on the campus of the State University of New York at Buffalo. This invitation was accepted, has been confirmed and Mr. Ziegler has agreed to appear in Clark Hall on March 18, 1975. ’ Mr. Ziegler’s appearance on this campus is consistent with the policy of the Speaker’s Bureau in that we have constantly sought to bring to the students of this University programs that are diversified, informative and enjoyable. Mr. Ziegler will be speaking from the same podium which served Jane Fonda, Angela Davis, Lester Maddox, Bernadette Devlin, William Kunstler, James Buckley, William Ruekelshaus and Jacobs Javits to name but a few. The decision to extend Mr. Ziegler an invitation was based on the fact that he represents a portion of American history, albeit however negative, which deserves exposure and public recognition. Certainly Watergate has shown us the absolute necessity of openness and dialogue. The University, of all places in society, should tolerate and even invite controversy and the exploration of unpopular ideas. The First Amendment to the Constitution guarantees the right of all citizens to free speech. While his appearance here is certainly not free, it too is totally consistent with others on the college lecture tour. It should not be forgotten that similar arguments were made regarding the appropriateness of lecture fees when Jane Fonda and Angela Davis were scheduled to speak here. The argument has not changed, merely the perspective. We disagree with our colleagues at Boston University and Michigan State. Mr. Ziegler is speaking at this University because we believe he has a right to be heard. Because for a long while, he was part of a chapter in American history which will never be forgotten. The extent to which we, as students, and the University in general, see ourselves as intellectually honest individuals is the extent to which we allow ourselves access to all information and ideas. We do not expect Mr. Ziegler to change anyone’s minds; nor would we expect him to convert anybody to his pholosophy. We do demand that he be given a chance to express himself. I would like to make a few remarks and observations concerning your February 24 editorial, “A tragic verdict,” which I found quite distressing, not so much because I personally disagree with your analysis, but rather with the implications which underlie it. Namely, I find it quite offensive that you, as editor, see fit to attack the Catholic Church’s beliefs and motivations on the abortion question. I agree the Catholic Church’s political orientation on the subject is open to direct attack, but your evaluation of the Church’s dogma as “archaic,” displays a strong inherent intolerance toward the religious group itself, rather than mere opposition to its stand on this issue. Such religious bias is quite similar to racial bias, a concept The Spectrum so deeply abhors. Next, your upholding of “the law,” which is quite a change from past The Spectrum editorials. exposes a puzzling disregard for the value of the individual’s conscience. You seem to view the United States Supreme Court as the bastion of good and right, and disagreeing with “the law” because of religious beliefs is totally unacceptable. A quick glance at the Court’s history will show that “the law” is not always so sacred. Finally, as an “ordinary” person, I feel insulted by your contention that I have no right to decide a “complex and sensitive” issue, because being “ordinary” I am subject to feelings and moral convictions. I suppose that in the abortion case, for American example, the impartial, non-political Medical Association (AMA) should decide the issue, or some other elite group, like the elite groups who solved the Vietnam and Watergate questions. I feel that you, the author of this editorial, whether intentionally or not, have expressed certain attitudes which bear re-examination. Sicvcn Dorashi Source of atrocities building on campus.

One has to admire his courage. Yet when the governor’s physician says that Mr. Wallace is up to a presidential campaign, I must demur not because 1 am ignoring the parallel with Franklin Roosevelt; rather, because I am adverting to it with some care. Roosevelt suffered from polio, and had come to terms with his paralysis before his presidential years began. Wallace was bullet-riddled comparatively late in life —he barely lived he is far more damaged, untested, at a more vulnerable age, than Roosevelt ever was. He comes challenges. state, to the highest more labile and in a Yet none of this is said to claim an ultimate superiority tor Roosevelt. Whatever he accomplished, his illness would disqualify him now for the President’s office, if he were running for that office. One of the major forces that led to a glorified presidency was the news control that had to be imposed in hiding Roosevelt’s weaknesses from the populace. the banning of photographs Everyone knows the obvious signs or descriptions of his floppy efforts into and out of cars. The fireside chats” to give him a seated dignity; the press conferences held around his desk because he could not stand for long at any podium. But few realize how controlled an environment FDR’s illness caused in the White House, and how that affected the treatment of Presidents ever after. There was an abrupt surge in the action of Secret not to protect the President from the assault, but to Service agents minimize people’s awareness of his affliction. When the President special ramps for traveled, he needed a whole new range of services his wheelchair, portable toilets for his use, convertible cars so that he need not get out to greet people, sealed-off entrances that would not reveal his awkwardness at arrival or departure. Jim Bishop’s recent book on FDR’s last year is inexplicable until we realize that the appearance-factory had been working long before age and exhaustion made death’s marks obvious on Roosevelt’s face. The President himself refused to rqfognize the signs. He had for too long been fooling himself as well as the public. His guards just added further protections to those already thrown up around his disabilities. When his private railroad car, hooked onto a commercial train, could not move faster than 40 miles an hour without throwing him about beyond his spine’s ability to resist, the cover story was given to the press, and abjectly accepted, that he wanted to go slow out of love for viewing the scenery. A lying atmosphere, and a complacency with the lies, was gradually generated around the President and became entrenched. No candidate could get away with that now, and no candidate should. Roosevelt placed extraordinary limits on the press, and when serious illness overcame him there was no way for the public to know it. Wallace has been seen struggling with his braces, and has been watched getting out of cars. But there is a natural and human restraint in covering these events. It would be wrong for Wallace to trade on such inhibitions and try for the Presidency. We hid one kind of weakness in Roosevelt (his paralysis) and were ultimately, therefore, blinded to a far worse condition (his encroaching senility). No man who asks us to his his weakness can any longer be given the power of life and death that American Presidents wield. Even another Roosevelt should not be elected to office in our time; and heaven knows George Wallace is no second Roosevelt. - - - Stanley Morrow, Chairman Speaker’s Bureau Narrow view on abortion To the Editor. frorr here coffee poisons - - We want Wepner To the Editor. experimenters at Capen in cahoots?

Anyone who has a Paige Miller Staff Writer Spectrum Inconsistency is the name of the game, as far as the basketball Bulls are concerned. Following over victory their decisive Rochester, Buffalo was soundly destroyed by nationally ranked 107-78, Saturday Pittsburgh, at the Memorial night Auditorium. The Bulls are now 8-16. The early going saw Buffalo take a 20-14 lead over the Panthers thanks to some good shooting. After that, the Bulls collapsed. Pittsburgh scored fen straight points and slowly widened their margin throughout the rest of the game. Pittsburgh’s full court press was largely responsible for the Bulls’ collapse. Usually, Buffalo guard Gary Domzalski brings the ball upcourt while the team sets up for a play. The Panthers didn’t allow that. They forced Buffalo to move away from their usual and to commit 27 pattern, turnovers. If that weren’t enough, the Bulls have developed a horrible clip good game one night will have a lousy game the next. Mike Jones, who led the Bulls with 30 points against Rochester, was ineffective, and Jeff Baker, a 6-5 forward, did nut pull down a single rebound. Both were benched with 14 minutes remaining in favor of Larry Jones and Ron McGraw. The two freshmen played better, but not enough to make a difference. The only Bull who was two able to contribute consecutive strong performances was center Sam Pellom with 20 points and 14 rebounds. Pittsburgh, on the other hand, balanced got scoring from virtually the entire team, as coach Buzz Ridl used 11 of his players in the first half. Guard Kirk Bruce and forward Keith Starr both turned in fine performances, but just as important was the fact that the Panther’s bench scored 43 points. “They have the most talent of anyone we’ve played this year,” noted Richardson. “We hung in there for 32 or 33 minutes.” Unfortunately, the game is 40 minutes long. . this coupon ■■ mm Buffalo’s athletic coaches may get some of the recruiting leeway they have been longing for, thanks to the new Individualized Admissions Program (IAP) which allows students to be admitted to the University even if they do not measure up to the normal academic requirements. Bull coaches have been very critical of the lack of recruiting liberties given to them by Admissions and Records in the past. Since they have no money to offer high school prospects and have not been able to waive normal admissions standards, they feel that any attempts to bring promising athletes to Buffalo can’t be overly successful. , The key to being accepted through 1AP is to have a special talent or skill (i.c., shooting a basketball or playing the violin), which compensates for a possible academic deficiency. Richard Dremuk, the Director of Admissions and Records, said the program is geared toward “the kid who blows it in high school, but who’s the editor of the school paper. It’s for students with aptitudes in special areas.” Thompson, an admissions counselor the Faculty-Senate cojnmittee involved with the program, said it “prevents something unique in a student’s academic record, that’s not evident in his normal transcript, from being Myron serving on overlooked.” Second chance Any applicant is eligible for admission through IAP. If rejected under normal procedures, he receives along with his rejection slip a notice advising him of how to reapply through this new program. The program is expected to account for ten percent (200 students) of next year's freshman class. The procedure for acceptance through IAP is rather drawn out. Tony Rozak, chairman of the Faculty-Senate committee, explained: “We let the candidates know if they have to make an audition, get a recommendation, have an interview or whatever. We will channel each application through each department who will make a recommendation. We will make the final decision based on this recommendation and other factors.” Since the Faculty-Senate "committee does not really know what to expect from IAP, it has not established minimum average or rank, it has been speculated, however, that a minimum grade average of 75 may be set during deliberations. “I personally would not want to set a numerical value under which we would not consider an application,” said Thompson. Coaches comment The new system might get athletes into the University who might otherwise be rejected. But it does not really guarantee help to the athletic program Basketball coach Leo Richardson has his doubts. “It is not going to help the basketball program any,” he said. He explained that he does not think that the NCAA standard of a 70 high school average will be acceptable to the Faculty-Senate committee. “Our only hope is to get junior college kids or kids like [Sam] Pellom who was out of school for a year and came in through Millard Fillmore,” Richardson said. Hockey coach Ed Wright is more hopeful. “I think it can definitely help the hockey program,” he said. “It’s nice to see that the Faculty-Senate is doing something like this, and maybe it’s a sign of more support from Hayes Hall.” Athletic Director Dr. Harry Fritz took a more “Individualized saying: stance, conservative admissions should improve recruiting possibilities in just a moderate way. The athletic program will still have higher admissions than NCAA standards or sister institutions such as Brockport.” Surprisingly, neither Rozak nor Thompson appears overly enthusiastic about the program. Rozak explained, “I was appointed to this position. I have no strong feelings either way.” He noted that a similar program run by the faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics was unsuccessful and added, “It’s not the greatest thing since sex.” JEWISH STUDENT UNION 4F %T7 Union* GENERAL MEETING Topics to be discussed • — Programming for remainder of year Pressing matters that must be attended to Budgeting priorities for 75 76 - Programming priorities for 75 76 Upcoming elections of J.S.U officers New business - I-, m « , Any VW (no matter how old) can be checked out completely, on our computer.

Page nine ' �Barone leads cagers past St. Bona, 56-53 /. ' >- - /, < ;* • -• 4 *-■ by Larry Leva Staff Writer Spectrum With only seven seconds left in overtime. Senior Captain Chris Barone capped off the final and greatest performance of her career with a crucial free throw, leading the Women's basketball team to a 56-53 victory over St. Bonaventure. “This win made the whole season worth it,” said a happy Chris, echoing the feelings of her ecstatic teammates. The victory raised the team’s record to 4-7. Dedication Buffalo dedicated the game to its three graduating seniors; Charlene O’Neil, Cindy Palcznski and Barone. Chris rose to the occasion, scoring a school record 27 points, equally distributed with 12 points in both the first and second half along with three decisive points in the overtime. The Bulls raced out to a commanding 28-17 halftime lead as Barone and freshman Nan Harvey combined for 26 of the team’s first 28 points. But St. Bonaventure, who started the game with only five layers in uniform because four others had first gone to Buffalo State by mistake, finally began putting things together in the second half. A well executed full court press by the Bonnies gave the Bulls fits as St. Bonaventure sneaked ahead 42-40 for the first time with 9;34 left to play. The lead exchanges hands several times before ending tied at 49—49 as regulation time expried. In overtime, Barone quickly hit from long range to give the Bulls a lead they never relinquished. streaking, now windowdiving? Goldfish . . Unseasonably warm weather brought bicycle riders, footballers and basketballers to the Ellicott Complex last week. It also brought out the windowdivers. In the Fargo courtyard, four mattresses were piled on top of each other. With anticipation in the air and the crowd growing restless, a leg suddenly appeared in a second-floor window. Nancie Nichols leaped from the window. The crowd gasped with disbelief. She plummetted with the grace of a seal diving from a cliff and landed on the mattresses below. The crowd was relieved to see her pop up without serious injury. She did, however, catch her arm on a drapery cord, which forced her to smash against the side of the building and resulted in an awkward “plop,” three jammed fingers and a bruised elbow. An honor It was later revealed that two male jumpers gave the honor and risk of the initial jump tp Nancie a precedent in the world of co-ed sports. “It was beautiful! What a rush,” exclaimed Ms. Nichols when interviewed after the jump. “But the best part is that I no longer have any fear of climbing off the top bunk,” she continued. Nancie’s future plans include a third-floor jump and perfection of her “plop.” She said she will jump as long as there are photographers aropnd. But she advises only people who are in top physical condition to attempt a windowdive. “I’m in great shape,” she said. Once the ease and safety of windowdiving had been demonstrated, it was attempted by others. After several successful second-story jumps, the crowd grew restless and demanded more — . effort The mattresses were placed in front of Fargo 4, a ten-story building, to lure an unidentified daredevil into jumping. Just when it looked as if no one had the guts, a body was flung from the seventh story terrace. It missed the mattresses and crashed to the ground. Luckily, it turned out to be a pair of dungarees and a shirt stuffed with towels. $200 also . $175 (like new) 355 Norton Hall, 2 p.m.—5 today, 10 a.m.—5 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday. 831-3610. — p.m. Room 205 Norton 9 am 4:45 pm COmPLETED BUDGET REQUESTS DUE BY mflRCH. 15.1$75 Jewish Student Union announces that RRBBI MEIR KRHRNE j Founder of the :Jewish Defense LEAGUE will speak jluesday, Mar. 4 at 8 pm •Fillmore Room Norton Hall The Spectrum Monday, 3 March 1975 .

No. 62 State University of New York at Buffalo Small teams funded Assembly endorses revision of athletic budget Proposal A by Bruce Engel Sports Editor The Student Assembly passed an athletic budget Wednesday that will probably maintain the six small sports formerly threatened with extinction. The meeting was a continuation of last Wednesday’s recessed session, and was marked by a great deal of parliamentary confusion. The athletic budget for 1975-76, which passed by a vote of 44—16—2, was an amended version of the Student Association (SA) Executive Committee’s Proposal A, first brought to the floor last week. The major changes were a $13,000 the increase in operational fund and the creation of a $1,761 line for on-campus publicity. The deletion of a line to cover inflation made the overall increase $ 11,000 making the total equal to the current year’s figure of $222,599. The operational fund was designed to give the Department the freedom to fund some of the smaller teams. The increase in it brings the total to $29,000, which must first be used to make up this year’s deficit, estimated at $9,500 dollars. The Department can presumably use the remaining S20.00Q for the smaller This year, the six teams in question (track, cross country, swimming, tennis, golf and fencing) received a total of $28,000. Howard Schapiro, SA Student Affairs Coordinator, drafted the original proposal and presented the amended version immediately after Wednesday’s session was Friday, 28 February 1975 called to order same rules that everyone else has He explained that the revised to live by,” Mr. Schapiro version should please a lot of explained.

Major controvei 3y Trustees meeting picketed to protest dorm increase by Larry Kraftowitz Editor-m-Chief More than 300 NEW YORK students from colleges and universities across the state picketed a meeting of the SUNY Board of Trustees here morning to protest an Wednesday anticipated increase in dormitory room - rent. While SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer met with the Trustees on the 11th floor of the Carnegie Building on Manhattan’s East Side, students marched in a circle at the front of the building’s entrance waving picket signs and shouting, One, two, three, four; we won't pay a dollar more, Boyer sleeps for free! Why can’t we? and They say cut back; we say fight back. Dr. Boyer informed two legislative committees last week that there might have to be a “slight [upward] modification in dormitory rates” to compensate for a $3.5 million discrepancy between the dormitory revenues projected by SUNY and official state estimates. Checking figures The State University and State Division of the Budget are now investigating the discrepancy; the latter is believed to be recomputing its figures. About three hours after the picket line began, Dr. Boyer emerged from a short meeting with student government presidents to speak to the crowd, which had demanded all morning long that he meet with them. Dr. Boyer told them there was a “50—50” chance that room rents would be increased, answered a few other questions and went back inside to for a 2 p.m. meeting with prepare representatives from college newspapers and radio stations. The crowd dispersed shortly afterwards. Student Association (SA) President Frank Jackalone, who marched on the picket line and attended the 45-minute meeting between the Trustees and student government leaders, said afterward that the Chancellor promised to set up a meeting between the Student Association of the State University (SASU) and the Trustees to discuss their “different interpretations” of the need for a rent hike. respond to most of them. When asked why they were being evasive, “the Trustees said they wanted to hear the rent increase students and that this wasn’t the time for solutions,” Mr. Jackalone said. No money “What are we gonna do for students Old Westbury?” at asked one representative from the College’s predominently black, hispanic and working class student population. “Thay ain’t got no windows, the food is bad. You can’t make us pay if we don’t have the money,” he declared. Another Old Westbury student added, as he glanced up at the 11th floor: “College is for the people, for the students, for us. It’s more than a question of room rent it’s a question of access to education.” Representatives from the Red Balloon, a leftist newspaper published by students at the State Univeristy at Binghamton, were also present at the meeting. They reportedly demanded increases in funding for Health Care and Housing, and accused the Trustees of ignoring the concept of “representative student Evade questions government.” Mr. Jackalone reported that the students had asked the Trustees several questions, but found them unwilling to Throughout the morning, demonstrating students had demanded that the Trustees reconsider the effects a of students. would have on thousands _ — �Rosenberg case of 1950’s has unanswered questions Editor’s Note: this is the first of a series of articles dealing with the unanswered questions in the 1951 trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and Morton Sobell. by Richard Korman Campus Editor Political trials have a way of extending themselves long past the verdict, the sentencing and, in this case, the execution of the sentence. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, electrocuted, in 1953 for stealing the secrets of the atom bomb, refuse to lie quietly in martyr’s graves. The Rosenberg-Sobell case of 1951 ended a string of indictments against alleged communist spies in this country. They came at a time when world Communism was apparently gaining strength; a revolution in China, an aggressive Soviet Union, a war in Korea. In August of 1949, the Soviet Union tested their first atomic weapon. An arrogant America, which had been assured by its military experts that the Russians could not develop nuclear weaponry for years, wondered how it had happened so fast; how this country had been deposed as the sole nuclear superpower. They found an answer which left the ingenuous American ego intact the bomb had been stolen by traitors. — ‘Fantastic’ When Julis Rosenberg was apprehended by federal authorities, he said that the charges against him were “fantastic,” the “kind of thing you hear in fairy tales.” Specifically, he was charged with commit espionage in “conspiracy wartime.” There is a great multitude of questions in this case which are either directly related to the facts of the Rosenberg’s guilt or innocence, whether the Rosenbergs were given a fair hearing before the bar of justice, or whether their death sentences were extraordinary and to cruel, the result of misinformation and prejudice. But ignoring these other issues for the moment, the charge itself has been questioned on the basis that it violates the intention of the law. “Conspiracy to commit espionage in wartime usualy means espionage committed on behalf of the enemy. But earlier in the year that the alleged crimes were committed (1945) the U.S. was closely allied with the Soviet Union, the law does not recognize espionage committed to aid an ally. It was not a major factor in determining the outcome of the trial but it should have been exploited by the defense. Emmanuel Bloch, Julius Rosenberg’s attorney, and his father, Alexander Bloch, attorney for Ethel Rosenberg, made numerous errors of judgement. On several ocassions, the Blochs failed to scrutinize testimony they considered irrelevant or so unbelieveablc that they assumed any reasonable juror would immediately dismiss it. No fight Their most glaring error was a failure to vigorously cross-examine chief witness Harry Gold, who, in the estimation of the chief prosecutor Irving Saypol, “forged the necessary link in the chain which led to the Rosenbcrgs.” Similarly, MOrton Sobell, who was tried with the Rosenbergs despite his request for a separate hearing, was the victim of an over-confident and under-critical defense. Mr. Sobell did not take the stand in his own defense. Morton Sobell was convicted on the testimony of one person, considered by his attornies too weak to merit rebuttal. He served 15 years of a 20 year sentence, five of them at Alcatraz. After the verdict, his attornies literally the begged the judge to let him testify request was denied. Emmanuel Bloch loved Julius and Ethel Rosenberg; his emotional investment - proved costly. He was not skeptical enough of certain apparently damning testimony which could have been contradicted by a more detailed defense preparation. Alexander Bloch recognized this afterwards, long after it could have helped. The younger Bloch died of a heart attack shortly after the Kosenbergs were executed. Subsequent examination of Harry Gold’s pre-trial statements and of testimony at an earlier trial in the same courtroom, before the same judge and prosecutors, revealed Gold to be a pathological liar. The prosecution and presiding Federal Judge Irving Kaufman had listened to Harry Gold admit to frequent lying at the Brothman-Moskowitz obstruction of justice trial. Months later they heard him give damning testimony against Rosenbergs but never mentioned his to the defense. But because contradictions in Harry Gold’s Several different candidates for Student Association (SA) office have voiced support for the system, which would let a student it would seminars, although probably now be feasible in a lecture class.

Only the critics of the program were asking why these changes had occurred. A chance After an assortment of supportive comments and unrelated suggestions. Assemblyman Marty Brooks attempted to amend the amendment, calling for cuts totaling over $24,000. In something of a surprise, Assemblyman Sam Prince defended the original amendment. “It’s only fair to give the Athletic Department a chance to prove itself with a liberal set up like this,” said Mr. Prince. Later, Art Lalonde supported Mr. Schapiro’s amendment, saying that when Sam Prince comes out in favor of an athletic budget, something has to be right. Even Mr. Prince chuckled. Mr. Brooks’ amendment was defeated in a voice vote. Eventually, a hand vote called the question of Mr. Schapiro’s amendment, and the fun began. It took a lot of explaining by Chairman Scott Salimando and Parliamentarian John Roller to clarify the fact that the Assembly was first voting on whether to intent on seeing the crime of communism deftly punished as an example, than on seeing an innocent man and woman saved from death. The prosecution team consisted of Irving Saypol, Miles Lane, Roy Cohen and James Kilshimer. Irving Saypol is now a judge in New York State. Roy Cohen is a political hack on the fringe of Abraham Beame’s administration in New York City. Judge Kaufman, 40 at the time of the Rosenberg-Sobell trial was the youngest federal judge ever. He still sits on the federal bench. The Unquiet Death of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Alvin Goldstein’s Emmy Award-winning documentary now being shown around campus is a provocative account of the Rosenberg affair. It places the trial in its political-historical perspective by interspercing the narrative with an array of 1950’s political newsclips and headlines. It is as thorough as a 90-minute television documentary can be. Some have called the film biased in favor of the Rosenbergs and Morton Sobell but mqre enlightened critics consider it an attempt to get at the truth. —continued from page 1— ... and Assembly member Judy Young, a well known supporter of athletics, called to adjourn the proposal Mr. Roller also had to convince meeting.

Ahhhh, bureaucracy in action! Campus Editor NEW YORK The expansion of the State University of New York into the largest university system in the world brought with it the development of a bureaucracy not unlike that of many “democractic” governments. "Blind reliance by many on the expertise of a few, and a general unwillingness to divulge information abound. The SUNY Board of Trustees press conference here Wednesday displayed Chancellor Ernest Boyer’s qualififcations for one of the highest paying jobs in the state. He talked a lot, smiled a lot and sent 300 students from across the state home as ill-informed as they arrived. The Chancellor and several members of the Board held a preliminary meeting with SUNY student government presidents to answer a series of questions submitted in writing by the presidents. Unfortunately, the SUNY officials answered only two of ten questions, conveniently explaining that it was not the “proper time” to reply to the rest. - Gose friends The proper time is apparently when there are no students around. After a brief press conference in which he fielded questions about a possible dormitory rent hike, Dr. Boyer expressed displeasure that the State Division of the Budget did not explain to him how it had arrived at a dormitory revenue projection almost $4 million higher than that predicted by SUNY. The discrepency may necessitate a rate hike. But Maurice Moore, Chairman of the Board of Trusttees and a Nice Lady, later said that Dr. Boyer was very close to the Budget people, and she practically raved about how well he has been working with them. Maybe the Division of the Budget and the Rubber stamp The Board of Trustees is supposed to have e final say over all SUNY policy. But it looks as if the Board merely “rubber stamps” proposals put forth by the Chancellor. When one campus representative asked Dr. Boyer why the Board and the Chancellor agree so often, he said his job is to ask the Board for things they already approve of, explaining that if the Trustees kept rejecting his proposals, it would “tell you something.” Ms. Moore, who was meant to be a Trustee of some university somewhere, appeared more accommodating toward the Chancellor than necessary. After describing what a great fighter Dr. Ketter was, she went on to repeat several times something like, “I don’t know what we would do without him [Boyer],” and “we’re so lucky to have him.” She also explained that the Chancellor tells the Trustees everything they should know about everything, and that the reason the Board took a stand against funding athletics was because they were not “advised” to do anything else. Unhappy house Chancellor Boyer voiced “regrets” to one State University at Stony Brook student who asked him why SUNY had to pay for all the Chancellor’s living expenses, including his house, which the student described as a “Taj Mahal.” Dr. Boyer said his family doesn’t like the situation and he is “unhappy” about it. (Tears came to my eyes.) He explained that he uses the house for business purposes three days and nights a week anyway, and that he considers it a public place. Besides, he continued, supplying a house is an American college tradition. Ernest Boyer After explaining how much she likes athletics (Which campus in this state has hai-lai?”) Ms. Moore indicated that if Buffalo were allowed to use state funds for athletics, this University would immediately start a football team and spend too much money on it. I tried to explain that one of the reasons Buffalo has a President and nine Vice Presidents is to prevent such a situation. Unfortunately, Ms. Moore does not believe Buffalo would be responsible enough to handle its own finances, a belief apparently also held by Dr. Boyer and Governor Carey. In retrospect, the press conference did accomplish one thing. It proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that SUNY could, without hesitation or any adverse affect, dump its evasive Chancellor and “loyal” Board of Trustees, and still be in the business of education.

As of 1974 only five states, certain The right of non-smokers to breathe cleaner, fume-free air will finally be upheld if official action is taken to ban smoking in public places. Research has shown that cigarette and other forms of smoke may be just as harmful to the non-smoker, who inhales it inadvertently, as the smoker. Responding the complaints of non-smokers, the Erie County Department of Health recently distributed a Tobacco Smoke Emissions Fast Sheet describing the medical hazards of cigarette smoke and its harmful gases. (Approximately 70 percent of the adult females and 58 percent of the adult males in Erie County are non-smokers, according to the Health Department.) Among the harmful gases in cigarette smoke are carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen sulfide, hydrocyanic acid and arsenic. Many of these exceed the maximum acceptable level and tend to irritate the eyes and nasal passages, trigger allergic reactions, cause heart and lung damage and 24 seconds per cigarette.

Angered over the use of “scab lettuce and wine, Joel Hauser, a member of the CAC sponsored UFW Support Committee, explained the difference between the Teamster’s Union and UFW contracts. Although the wages are similar, many benefits offered by the UFW are ignored by the Teamsters. The Teamsters have been criticized for its lack of hiring halls, sweetheart contracts (negotiated without workers present), lack of pesticide controls, absence of toilet facilities in the field and the absence of a safety clause in the contract, Mr. Hauser pointed out. University The comfortable food store In a world there the most popular food stores impersonal “super” markets with hard-sell, catchy slogans, it*s hard to believe there is a friendly, comfortable community food store just down the The North Buffalo street from the University Community Food Co-op. Operating on a low budget (the entire store is valued at $3000), all members are owners and have an equal voice in executive matters. Lifetime members pay an initial entrance fee and work four hours a month at the store. In return, they receive 15 percent discount on all items bought in the store. Lou Hoebel, one of the four co-op coordinators, described the store as an “alternative to the capitalist food system which is predicated on sell, sell, sell” and explained that the coop does not exist to make a profit. Very little of their food is prepackaged. '*> shoppers can buy the quantity they need. Mr. Hoebel feels this results in a “no pressure, relaxed” are — shopping atmosphere. The produce and dairy products are purchased a wholesale daily at the Bailey-Clinton Market outlet and are sold at a 30 percent markup.

The management has changed hands since then, and although it is not connected with the University many of its members are associated with College F. Every other week, randomly chosen steering committees meet and decide what items to carry. They abide only by general principles and have no specific “laws.” Once a month, everyone associated with the co-op joins in a “feast,” a meeting where ideas and experiences are exchanged. The co-op does no advertising and some members feel the name of the co-op should not even appear on the front window. Its reputation has spread through word of mouth. Inside, there are posted advertisements for benefit concerts and gatherings. Personal notices hang on one of the walls. A “Free Store" in the back room provides donated items such as unwanted clothing, gratis. To one side is a “lending library” from which records and books can be borrowed.

Unless such assistance is provided, the Cambodian Army will run out of ammunition in less than a month.” This statement contradicts earlier reports that the forces in Phnom Phen were receiving more munitions than they could use. The trial of Attica defendants Charlie Pernasilice and Dacajewiah saw its first major controversey Tuesday when Supreme Court Justice Gilbert King ruled that any testimony about the police assault on Attica prison was “irrelevant” to the death of guard William Quinn. Dacajewiah and Pernasilice are accused of murdering the prison guard, who died two days before the state police retook the prison. the supports The “irrelevant” ruling prosecutions assumption that the trial is an isolated The President continued in his letter to convey the need for the aid by emphasizing the political weight increased American supplies will carry in future negotiations. “It has been proven over the last two years,” he wrote, “that the progressive cutbacks of American support have only undercut the possibilities of negotiation by encouraging a ruthless enemy in the hope of attaining a total victory.” massacre. Testimony doubted In his opening remarks, Ramsay Clark, Mr. Pernasilice’s attorney, described the takeover as a “terrifying scene,” that would make eyewitness testimony very unreliable. (Mr. Quinn was fatally injured during the first moments of the uprising.) The trial was delayed by an exceptionally long jury selection process, and the defense had continually argued that < the jury selection process tended to exclude members of the Buffalo community who would be most receptive to their point of view. Since jurors are only paid twelve dollars a day, they claim many people who have to support families cannot accept jury duty'. Additionally, the Attica Trials News Service has called the prosecution racist for rejecting potential jurors they challenged eight of the ten blacks who appeared as potential jurors. The jury includes two black people and four women; no Native Americans were considered. Both defendants are Native Americans. 'American credibility’ Mr. Kissinger’s remarks parallel the President’s and the Secretary added that “American credibility as well as Cambodia’s survival is at stake.” Both men cited moral reasons for aiding Cambodia and asked, “Are we to deliberately abandon a small country in the midst of it’s life and death struggle?” The airlift into Phnm Phen originally from Thailand, and now from South Vietnam as well has become-.the Cambodian capital’s only source! of much needed supplies since communist led innsurgents seized mucHyof the 60 mile stretch of the Mekong River running from Phnom Phen to the South Vietnamese border.

In opening statements earlier this week, Mr. Kunstler said the defense would use three lines of argument to prove their clients’ innocense: fabrication, selective prosecution, and reasonable doubt. The fabrication argument consists of the prosecution’s need to diminish the greater tragedy of Attica by centering on “these two young men.” The argument of selective prosecution is based on the belief that it is wrong to hold two men responsible for the death of one man when no attempt has been made to prosecute those responsible for the - - * . — Starvation First hand reports indicate than tens of thousands of children in the capital are on the verge of dying from malnutrition.

The defense contends that the trial involves a long history of unbearable prison conditions, mounting tensions, and circumstances surrounding the bloody aftermath of the assault by State Police, conditions which they believe the jury must understand. Defense lawyers maintain that their clients are being used as “scapegoats” to exonerate the State’s decision to retake the prison by force.

Marlene’s case since the outset. ‘Courier’ report leads to action in Seneca Nation case by Brian Land Staff Writer Spectrum The case of Traditionalist Seneca Indian leader Marlene Kennedy took an unusual turn Monday when Federal Judge John Curtin ordered Seneca Nation President Robert Hoag and the 16 A/ ;u qp*j Monday, contending that an exclusion order had been discussed but was never issued. Additionally, Mr. Hoag explained that an order had been issued to restrict Mr. Quinn from coming onto the reservation in 1973. Mr. Hoag produced a copy of this order in court, but indicated he would not enforce it. statements Mr. Hoag’s contradict press coverages of his intentions. A January 22 article in the Courier Express quotes Mr. Hoag as saying that if Mr. Quinn sets foot on the reservation, “I’ll see to it that he’s taken thrown off.” The article goes pn to say that move to bar all the a Traditionalists “is very much being contemplated.” The Courier Express story referred to Mr. Hoag’s markedly different public posture only two days earlier. - Hearsay? When the defense pointed out this apparent inconsistency. Judge Curtin ruled that newspaper stories are merely “hearsay.” Thus, the only “cold evidence" available, as Judge Curtin called it. was the order Mr. Hoag produced. Because of this apparent contradiction, and the fact (hat the defense was unable to produce an exclusion order allegedly issued in January, the judge could not rule whether it existed, but said he will “review the facts." The two legal advisors, Mr. and Mr. Van Aernam, have Quinn member tribal council to show refrained from entering the cause why Ms. Kennedy’s legal reservation because of “fear of advisors should be barred from physical reprisals.” This feeling entering the Cattaraugus Indian resulted from President Hoag's Reservation. assertion that “we wouldn’t have Ms. Kennedy was arrested been so patient” if the state police January 9, after a shooting had not handled the January 9 incident with representatives of incident. the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation and plainclothes policemen Mohawk The Niagara supervisors had entered the reservation to shut off the electricity of 12 traditionalist families, including Marlene’s, because the families had withheld payment of their bills for political reasons. Arraignment was held the next day in Brant Town Hall, where more than 50 of her supporters packed the courtroom. Although the bail was originally set at $24,000, it was later reduced to $3500. Ms. Kennedy was held for six days before bail was raised and then released pending a grand jury investigation. It is not clear at this point whether the defense will ask a Courier Express reporter to appear in court, especially in light of Marlene’s legal position. the now Nonetheless, traditionalists claim that Mr. Hoag is attempting to enlist the court’s aid in falsifying the public record. Since he was not under oath and a written “exclusion order” has not been produced, conflicting testimony by the press may be worthless, even if proven true. Media Media coverage has played an important role throughout the dispute between Mr. Hoag and the Traditionalists. Specifically, the Courier Express has followed Both Marlene and Mr. Quinn claim that she would be dead right now if the television cameras had not arrived as quickly as they did. This is based upon the alleged failure of the state police, dressed as hunters, to identify themselves to Ms. Kennedy. Mr. Hoag’s attitude has been mixed. He criticized coverage of the shooting incident at the time as “onesided” because a television station “paid a lot of attention to the Traditionalists” viewpoint, and didn’t even bother to find out the other side’s ideas.” However, he also stated that another station “sought me out to see what I thought, and was going to do.” At a defense committee press conference Wednesday, Mr. Quinn discussed the way that the defense views Mr. Hoag’s statement about order.” A the “exclusion statewide rally Saturday in Albany to defend treaty rights was also discussed.

The Student Assembly's approval this week of an athletic budget for next year may bring to an end the long, drawn out controversy over athletic funding.

Passing a budget equal to this year's allocation, in effect, serves notice to the Athletic Department that it must vigorously attempt to secure funding from other sources. . Consistent with the state of the economy and national intercollegiate trends, the budget answers the need for austerity by deleting lines for practice equipment and cutting the smaller teams to the extent that it does. The passed budget also represents the first time in four years that the athletic allocation was approved early enough to allow the department to plan ahead. Howard Schapiro, SA Student Affairs Coordinator, should be commended for the long hours he devoted to drawing up proposals that would satisfy the conflict between fiscal austerity and funding intercollegiate athletics at an adequate level. Mr. Schapiro's display of sensitivity in his discussions with all the involved parties over the past week is expecially noteworthy since he personally authored the original Proposal A.

They would always cruise to the same spot, and pick up students who inverribly pushed and shoved to find a place to sit. the Little “Delightful children,’ Bluebird Bus thought. The last passenger each morning was a tiny freshman with a club foot. The Little Bluebird Bus always waited patiently for “Clubbo the Clown,” as he called him, even though the other students felt the freshman deserved less. On the way to the other campus, the Little Bluebird Bus let the smaller vehicles pass and cut in front of him. During the winter, kids threw snowballs at the sides of the Little Bluebird Bus and he could not understand this. “It’s nothing personal," he assured himself. Finally, the Little Bluebird Bus arrived at his destination, and discharged his passengers. Customarily, he waited for Emma to grab a cup of coffee, and then it was back to the main campus. It was a happy existence and the Little Bluebird Bus had no reason to believe that anything would disturb this tranquility . . . . . until one morning when the other buses decided to put an end to the Little Bluebird Bus’ dream world. For some reason, Emma was late and he was ignorant of her whereabouts. All but one of the other buses went over to speak with him. “Hey, little one!” said No. 191. “No. 191, have you seen Emma?” he asked. “Emma? Emma, oh I know, yeah sure. I know where Emma is.” All the other buses huddled together and snickered. “What’s so funny, guys? We’ve never - GAWDDD!’ Fsst.” “That sounded like ‘Pillow Talk’!” shouted the Little Bluebird Bus. “Emma! That, that, hussy. That Unionized Dyke!” His mind snapped. The other buses drove away, laughing. Emma had betrayed him. Next would come marriage and then, the junk heap for the Little Bluebird Bus! Emma boarded her bus, and sighed Sputter Deviously, he opened his door to the onslaught of students and just as quickly, slammed it on them, sending at least five propelling backwards.

The tiny freshman with the club foot made his way through the debris of scattered bodies and begged the bus to lost her child open his doors. “Please, please, I’m late for therapy! he pleaded. The Little Bluebird Bus opened slowly and the freshman cautiously placed his club foot on the first step. “That’s the one!” thought the Little Bluebird Bus, and the doors shut tight on the kid’s arch. “You’re lucky I’m a masochist, or 1 would really be hurt,” cried Clubbo. “Someone call a psychiatrist!” Emma screamed. The Little Bluebird Bus had other plans. He raced through the city, sideswiping station wagons full of children and groceries. Whenever Emma honked his horn to warn other cars of the danger, the Little Bluebird Bus farted. And then he felt something hard and cold hit his side. The kids throwing snowballs had made a fatal error! “Those kids are trying to hurt me I HATE THEM!” The Little Bluebird Bus then jumped the curb and chased after his assailants. Unfortunately, their skinny legs could not outrun the bus, and their fragile bodies could not support his weight. It was murder now and the Little Bluebird Bus realized it. Through the backroads, he approached the other campus and spotted Louie. Louie, man of of symbol dreams, Emma’s the mammalalistic fertility! “You will soon be as dead as Emma’s dreams!” But Emma was deader than her dreams. Emma had died, clutching his wheel, dried tears smearing her rouge. The Little Bluebird Bus had killed the only thing he had ever loved. In his grief, he roared over Louie and went on going until he had barrelled into the idle No. 74. “Mon pubis,” the Little Bluebird Bus uttered and died.

Thick As A Brick opened with Ian Anderson playing acoustic guitar and singing. The guitarist was thus given a chance to fix his equipment. Meanwhile, when everyone was running and jumping all over the stage before, there were roadies running all over, fixing up tangled cords, things knocked over and they were ignored like they weren't there. Like in medieval times, there was a hierarchy on stage very similar to the relationship between the peasants and the nobility of the Middle Ages. Ian, you're a genius The acoustic guitar worked out - — control of everything. With a wave of his hand the music stopped, with a gesture it rose. He was like a mad puppeteer. The music is more calm after the big opener of raunch, smoke and flash. The stage is less extreme now too. Enter flute. He swings it like a baton and they do a real heavy baroque thing. This leads into a flute solo, all alone, and he uses echo and voice-tone for psychedelic effect. He slips into a popular madrigal harpsichord type of folk song for a second and the whole band is suddenly there and then they drop out again as he continues alone. He's playing hard, but can he be taken seriously? It's like a medley of different songs tied together by this solo and it goes on for about ten minutes. Baroque boogie There's something baroque about JethroTull. And it's a full string quartet, not just violins. The band is back, the showgirl brings him an alto sax, and he blows five notes as the song ends and he picks up with a running chatter while everyone gets new instruments. The organ player puts on an electric accordian, the drummer moves to tablas and xylophone, guitar to timbales and marimba. Striped Bass switches to striped guitar, and Ian sings about skating away on the rise of the new day. The organist puts down the accordian and sits at the drums, playing with brushes, and wearing an idiot face. I wonder how old he is. A Zebra comes walking out and shits three striped boogies which Striped Bass juggles. Ian makes obscene remarks about the showgirl relating to his mother's tits. He's really in control now. Smokin' They do a song called "Ladies" approximately, which involves two acoustic guitars, double bass and string quartet, moving right along. Now he plays sax again, blows two phrases, hits a wrong and makes a face, and the drum solo begins. It builds into smoke, which gradually comes pouring out from the drums as it more intense, building, gets smoke, colors, flashes, the mirror ball goes on, electronic music starts broadcasting over the PA, the drums are electrified through synthesizer and phase shifters, total noise and confusion as the drums and drummer are completely obscured by smoke, then they all come back on to end the song, foot controls on the voice and flute, the guitarist and the bass player look at each other, note the bass player turns away but the guitarist still looks at him, hurt, the floor is mined and everywhere Ian goes there are explosions of light and smoke, bombs whistling and exploding, flashing blind, WARTIME!!! Everyone has been bombed right off the stage and Ian is left alone singing, until one goes off in his face and he splits too. Destruction.

Prodigal Sun �'Apple Pie' Terrific cinematic theatre by Jay Boyar Spectrum Arts Editor This past Tuesday night, Apple Pie presented by the Center for Theatre Research opened at the Courtyard Theatre (Lafayette and Hoyt Streets). For some reason ($7) there are no buses from campus to the theater. If transportation is a problem for you, speech patterns are adjusted to music judged emotionally appropriate to the speech and the scene." For once, I agree with the program notes. - — then quickly make friends with a car-owner; in fact, it might even be worth the walk. Apple Pie is a music-filled play about personal responsibility telling the story of Lise, a girl who leaves Hitter's Germany with her family to escape the terror there and comes to America only to discover the terror here and within herself. Even though the story is especially predicatable, and although the point that's made about responsibility (victim as executioner) is pretty thin, there are so many other terrific things in Apple Pie that they redeem If not completely eclipse its weaknesses. One of the play's best aspects is its direction. — — The Apple and the eye A* it is taged, Apple Pie is very cinematic. I'm not really talking about the way slides are projected at mid-stage (although that's nice, too) but rather about the imaginative use of stage space which focuses attention selectively on each scene's components. In film, it is simple to direct attention to a detail of a scene a close-up will do or, if the film is more subtle, then a more gently coersive camera-placement can be devised. In live theater, this type of attention-directing is the viewer is harder because the "camera" stationary. Spot-lighting and loud noises can function as stage equivalents of close-ups, and there's plenty of that type of thing in Apple Pie. But the play goes further by arranging colors and actors, and by moving the action in many directions at once. Director Saul Elkin moves your eyes around the set to the spots he wants you to see, and also opens the stage to allow you to feel you are making discoveries yourself. In one scene, the action takes a man to the upper stage platform to make a speech. You see him, then you see the two women flanking him, and then your eyes travel down the steps to see the two groups of men flanking the threesome. FjnflJjYiYOU fee another actor squatting on the lower stage at eye-level. And if you’re really looking, you'll see even more. Your vision is guided that way, in the sequence. It takes refreshing imagination to guide the audience's eyes to a figure who is squatting motionless and silent, to do so at exactly the right point in a sequence, and to make you think you've found the figure yourself. Elkin performs tricks like these throughout the play. The actors: Robin Willoughby plays Lise, the play's jaded narrator and Sara Wallens plays little Lise, the girl involved in the play's action who will eventually become the narraotr. Willoughby's performance is intricately stunning. When we first see her a fancy feathered opera hat tops her artificially orange hair. The lighting makes black bags of her eyes and cheeks. She's heavier than a beautiful woman can be between garters fat flesh is revealed. She's tawdry and her red nails say so. Cynical, decadent, bitter and crushed she cries, "Good, innocent, perfect and fine;" and it's not so much ironic as it is a desperate cry for the illusory and alien. It's a dehydrated prospector's desert-scream for water. As little Lise, Sara Wallens has a good (microphone-aided) expressive singing voice. In the early scenes, she's perfect with her glassy-eyed "guise of a pure little victim." Her long, white skirt makes her head seem too big. She's a cartoon and it works. She should seem like someone from Panic Theatre, she does seem like someone from Panic Theatre, and, coincidentally, she has played in Panic Theatre. — — Sparkle — , The stage is also filled with an explosion of colors and huge stage devices (you want to call them characters they're so eloquent and witty) continuing to the end when sparkles of light change the theater into a grim carnival. It's easy to guess what will happen in a given scene, and what it will mean, but how it will look is always a surprise. The playwright, Myrna Lamb, has a remarkable sensitivity to the way people talk. She twists traditional speech formulations so that there is funny, linguistically-incisive dialogue like "So, it seems you are black," and "A little something with the hair ,.Sometimes she goes a bit off-key; the references to specific locals and ethnic types which solicit laughs are often just slightly-hip versions of the talk-show ploy in which a guest mentions a city's name to court applause. Still, Lamb's awake to the inflections and rythms of words and so is Nicholas Meyers who wrote the play's music. The program notes say, "... the stresses and falls of normal r — Worm In the latter scenes, she should begin to take on more of Willoughby’s intelligent, cycnical perversity but unfortunately she doesn't. Wallen's face should become a fright-mask (as Willoughby's is) long before an actual mask is added. And her voice tones should eventually acquire some of Willoughby's horrifying edge. As Harry, Lise's father-husband, Michael Pelonero is just brilliant; he looks like a wounded bird with his small moustache, bow-tie, white shirt sleeves, and hand held like a claw with a book at the end. Pelonero always gives himself completely to a character becoming that personality without explicit irony. And, yet, we are always aware of his attitude toward his character. How does he do this? Well, Lamb's dialogue helps and so does Pelonero's control in handling his quieter scenes. Incidently, when he dances, his body and face move around so comically that the fun more than excuses his limited singing range. The men There's a chorus of Men in the play which works well to establish the atmosphere of various scenes and it's even hard to tell which of them are, genuinely stupid and which just act that way. The play's two sour notes are George Garcia as Lise's lover and Lucia Beck as Lise's mother. They're.both very stiff and not really caught up in the sick fun with the others in the cast. Sure, their characters call for stiffness, but it would have been better had it been a more engaging, stylized stiffness like that Pelonero manages at times. Playwright Myrna Lamb also wrote Mod Donna — which was according — transcends its major difficulties in plot and theme. tends to forgive such weaknesses when they occur in other, more conventional "musicals," and they can be easily overlooked in Apple Pie, which has so much more to offer as well. What's good about the play is very exciting; it's a spicy treat to even the weariest audience.

Ujg&oTg �Our Weekly Reader Eugene Ionesco, The Hermit, translated by Richard Seaver (Viking Press) Some time ago I walked out of a Bunuel film feeling extremely confused. Beneath all that satire and parody of the middle class, I wondered, was anything else of substance being said? "You don't seem to understand," a friend of mine who was a radical film critic told me. "The film is about the bourgeoisie, it tears apart their distinct charms meant ironically, with venom! Never again will people fail to realize the hypocrisy of the bourgeoisie; they are slashed apart by this film, which is indeed daring!" But I remained skeptical. It seemed to me that for years the French artists were loving themselves for having the "courage" to attack the bourgeoisie; and of course, each subsequent attack became easier and easier, while the need for them at all was declining. "You're resisting the film because you are bourgeois," said my friend the film critic. And indeed, what could I $ay?No one wants to appear bourgeois, and yet everyone not obsessed with the subject realizes that there is an enormous difference between a work that includes satirical barbs within the scope of its ambitious and original irreverence, and one that opts simply to be a satirical barb and offer that as a world view. In France everyone laughs at the bourgeoisie, but it's another matter to name one. And here in America we also share a similar problem; after a decade of fighting against the hypocrisies of middle mentality, with its regimentation, class dehumanization, enslavement to material good, its but you narrow-minded insistence on conformity know the old story, right?- nearly everyone today looks good, they look good! and agree that it's so important to be relevant and conscious about one's career. So suddenly there are all sorts of television shows that lash out at middle class life; and we all can laugh and feel unified because we're not like — suburbs of Paris and live carefully on the funds. And although his life is trimmed down to the bare eating at a local restaurant, sleeping, essentials with no walking, drinking, the bathroom occupation or employment to trouble his mind, the man becomes terribly depressed and unhappy, finds himself in a state of anguish about the nature of his existence as a human. With a novelist such as Isaac Bashevis Singer, for instance, the simple deeds and banalities of life accumulate and collect until they form an utterly overwhelming mass that is life, existence; there is nothing to do but become a hermit. What is interesting and so fine ebout this novel by Ionesco is that the narrator begins by cutting himself off from everything, yet still his anguish at the "cosmic absurdity" of his condition remains and intensifies. At one point, a casual love affair with a waitress, which makes him somewhat happier, falls apart; it is by finding her slipper in his then that he realizes apartment, proving that she once was there he had "ties to the universe." Immediately, the outside - — - - - that. But when this kind of artistic activity becomes an end in itself, becomes critically fashionable, the most profound meaning is that the writer can no longer conceive of urgent and vital fictional materials. A fashionable critic might look at Ionesco's The Hermit and applaud the hostile satire of the eating scenes, the life at the office, the minute detailing of the items in an apartment he would say, "This novel lashes out at the hypocritical mentalities of the bourgeoisie!" but he would appear ridiculous, simply because Ionesco is attempting a far more complex and killing, streets, buildings are blown up and mutilated; it is impossible to keep track of the various armies, issues, battles involved. But the narrator sees that things are much the same; "As for me, I was living in a state of catastrophe, independently of what was going on outside. Or rather, what was going on outside was going on in me. The outside was beginning to reflect the inside. Or vice versa." When the hostilities change location the narrator is able to survey the wreckage of his neighborhood as if it were the ruins of his life, his civilization; and indeed, these are the same, for the narrator (and therefore, the reader) has lost all awareness of time. The strangely affirmative, perplexing and hauntingly beautiful ending only adds to the appealing substance and complexity of the book. Eugene Ionesco has written a novel that refuses to fit easily into any convenient mode of classification. Hardly existentialistic, far more than the dull-witted satires about tacky modern customs, it is a work which attempts nothing short of a complete and pointed confrontation with life; comic and yet touchingly poignant. The Hermit is written confinement on this planet, etc.; the absurdity of with a unique mixture of cynicism and love; it living when we are going to die: the horror of dying should be read by all of us "turbulent" humans, when we could be alive.

He receives an inheritance from an American demands, who want and demand, who kick off. . uncle and decides to retire, to move to the southern -Geoffrey Green vision. With this novel, Ionesco presents himself clearly as an author concerned with the futility of silly customs; the futility of silly customs which simply reflect, in different ways, a basic pervasive silliness; the uselessness of assembling these customs into some kind of life; the sadness of organizing and assembling a sort of life when it is utterly impossible to know or understand anything substantive about the nature of that life or the reasons behind those organizing patterns; the absurdity of attempting to write, to depict with words the nature of any reality or issue or theme that ultimately relates to life since it is impossible to know anything substantive about the nature of that life; the pointlessness of doing anything now, in the present, when it simply becomes a part of a blurry past ; . of a life in which it is impossible to know anything, etc.; the riskiness of functioning at all when we are not even sure of the meaning of that word or any other, existing as they do within the confines of a verbal structure whose rules are arbitrary and impossible to etc,, as a part of a world where it is impressible to understand anything etc., . not even the nature of our .

The relationship between Don Juan and Carlos Castaneda has acquired a growing cult of interest since their first suspicious meeting in 1961. Don Juan hooks his apprentice into a finely balanced system of knowledge, and we, as readers, are likewise ensnared by the phenomenal detail of Castaneda s any event that reportage. As the author tells us; ", occurred within this alien system of sensible interpretation could be explained or understood only in terms of the units of meaning proper to that . This all sounds very cut and dried in retrospect, but of course along the way Castaneda stubbornly clings to his reason and searches for explanations. The fantastic displays of power which he witnesses in the actions of both Don Juan and the unpredictable Don Genaro tear at his reason and constitute his battles for personal power. In particularly difficult stretches of his apprenticeship, Don Juan invites his appeals for explanations. “It's your duty to put your mind at ease. Warriors do not win victories by beating their heads against walls but . system." Castaneda tries to assemble his early experiences with Don Juan in The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge and A Separate Reality. These are books dealing largely with becoming a "man of knowledge" through the ritualized use of "power plants:" peyote, jimson weed and certain mushrooms. It isn't until the third book. Journey to lx dan, that Castaneda realizes drugs are not essential to the nature of the teachings, and shifts his perspective. Ixtlan recounts Castaneda s efforts to master specific techniques which don't entail the use of psychotropic plants. These tasks, "stopping the world" and seeing, prove to be no less terrifying for the author than his previous endeavors, and the third with Castaneda book ends as do the first two giving up on the teachings. The recently published fourth book. Tales of Power, bears out the perspective of Ixtlan and presents an overview of the entire teachings, along with numerous surprises; Don Genaro's double being, the mystery of the Dreamer and the Dreamed, the unfolding of the wings of perception, the truth behind La Catalina, the Secret of Luminous Beings, Don Juan elegantly attired in a tan business suit in paper.

To. prepare Castaneda for the Sorcerer's Explanation, Don Juan seeks to acquaint his charge with the notions of the "tonal" and the "nagual."

The tonal centers around reason; the nagual can only be witnessed through the will. Oversimplified, it is a case of the total known placed in a delicate balance with the total unknown, all subject in the understanding to and that's the the elusive Sorcerer's Explanation clincher. An in-depth revelation of the nature of the tonal and the nagual constitutes the central portion of the book.

But he was not the first President to die following a great national moral effort. If she is correct, our country should have experienced the same effect after Lincoln's assassination. The solution which she offers to help generate a new flow of energy in American society involves work with a counter-culture. She believes that we should cultivate an outside culture which should be fluid enough to be eventually absorbed into the dominant culture, thereby extending it beyond the levels which it has reached. The one thing which Ms. Gutman fails to see is that our generation will not live the Grand Illusion. We are a generation of cynics; we are critical of everything. The problem lies in the fact that nothing positive is arising out of this cynicism. Until it is directed into constructive action, America will continue to wander aimlessly. When I first saw this book I had tremendous expectations. However, I was immediately disappointed because of the author's lack of style. This book, like all of Ms. Gutman's previous undertakings, is in the form of a pictorial essay. The pictures do not enhance the book because, more often than not, they do not relate to the text. The basic idea behind the work is good, but an excess of sentimentality clouds the opinions. There are many places where Ms. Gutman's explanations of certain things seem to be based purely on emotional response rather than rational thought. Is America Used Up? is a time piece which does not quite hit the bull's eye. —Robert Topaz Friday, 28 February 1975 .

WE HAVE TO TRY TO GUESS WHO PAT MARTINO IS. Pat Martino is wearing a searsucker suit... looks like a blue suit... medium length hair... could be out of an Italian movie magazine In twenty years Pat Martino will be from Cleveland (I think the bass player is wearing overalls). Everyone looks really bored. Pat Martino is sitting on a chair, building to a climax. The violin player is stroking his beard. The piano player has a turban. (Sounds like I'm in 1958.) Pat Martino wiggles his left foot for emotion. Everyone's playing their role very nicely. Everyone sits near each other and doesn't talk, then at the end of the songs they clap their energy cause that's the only place they can put their hands. It's an integrated band... or don't we notice those things anymore?? NOW REMEMBER, SEE HOW LONG YOU CAN SIT NEXT TO THE PERSON NEAR YOU AND NOT SAY ANYTHING TO THAT PERSON. everyone has their solos) (emotional (taking fours .. to stop ideas without emotion) I don't know whether Pat Martino is feeling good or feeling bad when he plays. Is he happy? Is he sad? What's the matter with him? Why does he have to stand in frdnt of everybody and play guitar? they're not giving us The band is fighting us back right they start one song any time to review them - — — after the next. (Still waiting for the emotion.) "The piano player has a crush on the drummer but you wouldn't know it." "It's really unemotional, you know? I don't feel anything." "Pat Martino does not let us know what he's feeling on stage." "That's for sure. Neither does anyone else." "They all look like zombies .. ." (violin player reveals echoplex) Being sarcastic and funny js a natural outgrowth of this society. In the all-communist society everything will be funny "We live in a very scientific age. computers, everything is mathematics, Everything everything is is scientific! It's affected advertising. The economy. News not as an reports, TV, radio, movies. Everything is an art technique. This music is the a skill, a art but a science come It could all computerlike! It's all scientific and sanriel out of a moog synthesizer! It could all be programmed! It's not from the heart!!!'' "This is a result of the moonshots. If we hadn't been so into outer space and getting to the moon,; the music would be much more down to earth." Music is a gimmick to them.

(Acid is a very deceiving drug. One minute you're . there and the n) "Who do you think is the best dressed member of the band?" "Maybe it's Pat's guitar - he can't take his eyes off it!!" THIS IS FROM RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT: Pat Martino once played one hundred notes in the space of 3.6 seconds. That was in Copenhagen, 1968. But let's say something good about Pat: if this wasn't a McCoy Tyner concert. I'd be very pleased with Pat Martino. (I think what music needs now is a McDonalds' amplifier.) He won that amplifier by collecting 50 coupons from Big Macs and trading them in at his nearest McDonalds' dealer for an amplifier which you can do too if you want to be a rock and roll superstar!!!!! EVERYONE ON STAGE PRETEND OKAY, YOU'RE NOT THERE, Running a concert is a very simple operation. Rent a music machine. It costs about $2,000. You get lots of people, and your friends to chip in S2 each to sit in the same room with the machine. Then you plug it in and it plays music. The Pat Martino, catalogue number 757054, # 1975 UUAB music machine edition. OKAY, EVERYONE IN THE AUDIENCE PRETEND YOU'RE NOT THERE. Jazz music is really easy to listen to. Whoever is playing the loudest is soloing. You try to listen to him as much as you can, and see if you can figure out how the rest of the band is playing along with him. (at this point we began to interview members of the audience party) Hey, Jay, what do you think of this concert? "It's too early to say. The sound system's no good." "I feel like I'm five years old." And having a good time? "And having a good time!" "The band's all right but I don't like them." "They're too technical. They don't play from the gut." is the (The guy sitting next to me just explained why he thought the girl in front of me's purse wasn't mine.) Eddie Green.

Sherman Ferguson on drums okay, applaud a little longer but try to keep it down I'm going to piss on you to close the set. “He speaks in the same zombie-like way he plays." (Next year's model, catalogue number 775049, will have a more natural human speaking voice.) The guitar playing is controlled by nerve impulses and we have no control over that aspect of the machine. It's all done by computers, you understand. Very technical. No, I don't understand. What do you mean? I meant it was technical. You wouldn't understand. HEY, IS IT MY TIME TO SOLO?? Let's see how I feel playing this solo: ooh, I'm really going fast. I must be really nervous. Listen to those low-notes. I must be mean . . I feel like I've got no control over my fingers!!! They go all over the guitar!!) Pat Martino really cooks with his guitar, and he plays a mean 'lectric frying pan. John Coltrane used to play hour-long solos and his socks would fall down. Pat Martino, when he plays for a long time, his pants fall down. That's why he sits on his stool The greatest concert ever will be for free. That's all we know about it so far. In all the solos they get into circular repeating riffs, going across the rhythm, using the same riffs a lot, repeating themselves. They use the same basic ideas, so they're all takirig the same solo. (The violin player was soloing, and a little trickle of sweat fell into his eye. He stopped his solo so he could take the sweat out of his eye. The piano player saw this and naturally started to play in his pace, but he saw that his shoe-lace was untied and bent down. Pat Martino saw nobody else ready to play so he started to solo. This went on for about two hours. Meanwhile, the bass player had gone out to get a soda. Pat Martino was left all alone on the stage. He got up to say good-bye and his pants fell ... ... ... . . - — . _ down.) DRUMMERS ARE THE PROLITERIAT OF JAZZ, THE GREATEST MOVING FORCE IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. I was really hoping that song would end so we could have the intermission, but they seem to be prolonging it a little longer. (In the middle of one song the piano player stopped playing, fell down on his piano and started to cry. Pat Martino began to solo in his place. Everyone looked at him very sadly as he continued to cry. Finally, two people from UUAB came and took the piano player away.) When the set ended, the announced said, "PAT MARTINO." Then he said, "PLEASE!" What does he report to please mean by that? Pat Martino please personnel office. Your check is waiting. We asked a member of the audience whether Pat Martino was really alive: "He was really live. Tm not that familiar with jazz, but I really liked it. I spaced out on a couple of songs. I » ... ... Page fourteen The Spectrum Friday, 28 February 1975 . . t Prodjgal Sun �really liked the way he did 'Sonny,' which was the only song I was familiar with. In general, I was really flipped out by the whole thing. I wish I had another joint or two, you know, just to get into it more." Would you buy all of Pat Martino's albums after hearing this concert? "Would I what?" How do you think this will affect the economy? "Well, first of all I don't have a stereo You only hear in mono? so I don't purchase any albums." This concert is an economic failure. —" "And it would be great to talk to them because they're really playing great." "Rijfit. I wonder what they have to say about what they're doing." "It's the whole leader-follower thing again better ... than thou." — — TYNER IS ONE OF MAO TSE TUNG'S GREATEST INFLUENCES. (pat argentine, pat march in tino. pat march 24. dick may 8. the nixons november 4) "Why shouldn't I be excited for McCoy Tyner?" There's this Indian percussion instrument which is the same as what Gato Barbieri used on Fenix. (I wish I could remember what it's called.) It's long and has a big bowl on the bottom with a string. There is a saxophonist playing sopranino and McCoy is playing percussion, and is about to play piano. Nobody recognized McCoy when he walked on stage. The sound of the soprano sax is really bad. The mike's just picking up three or four notes out of the whole register of the instrument, and they come out really loud. The other notes aren't getting picked up at all. The mike is aimed straight down to the floor not smart. McCoy Tuner was never old enough to lead his own band until now. "There's a lot of trouble with the sound system McCoy can't hear himself, and he also can't be heard in the audience! He's not coming outll He keeps leaning his head into the monitor!! Nothing's happening!!!'' THE THING IS IF McCOY CAN'T HEAR HIMSELF PLAY, PROBABLY iMOBODY ELSE ON STAGE CAN HEAR HIM PLAY EITHER. SO HOW CAN THEY KEEP PLAYING THE WAY THEY'RE PLAYING IF THEY CAN'T HEAR HIM?? It's every musician's dream to someday lead his own group. Somehow, after being a sideman for many years, they'll be able to lead their own group . . . and then have it's not an equal their own sidemen but all that is thing! They don't relate as equals. There's a leader and'he doesn't have to worry about what the other people are doing he tells them what to do, since he is the leader of the group. They don't have to relate as equals, or as equal people, something that's so typical of society always having a leader. Everywhere you go there are always leaders please keep reading People never play out at the same time. They're always taking turns soloing Why can't they just interact in a way so that they don't neutralize each other or Why can't people just be out get in each other's way front and interact naturally combine their total energies Why does everyone have to play a role and a game? "I like to hear one musician play at a time. That way I can tell why he's doing it. The solo Juni Booth just did on bass was the most enjoyable thing of the evening for me." McCOY'S LEFT HAND COMES DOWN LIKE A FIST OR A HAMMER AMAZING. HE CAN DOMINATE THE SOUND OF THE WHOLE BAND. HE REALLY LETS IT FLY AMAZING I (Now that McCoy Tyner is playing everyone can stop talking about Pat Martino.) "They're playing from Monk straight, no chaser." "Why do sax players always seem so hung up?" "They all seem so good. I wish I was interested." (Note: at this point there was a big space in the tape.) That was incredible! That was one of the best songs I've ever heard in — — - — — — .. squeezing." Now we're being treated to the second bass solo of the night. He can't get it on with the rest of the group, so he has to play solo if That can't be true or the whole thing is hype you understand my dumbeg. (I always excused his dumbeg in the past, but I couldn't help but notice it tonight.) (He's a real dumbeg, going around with that potato-head . . and that dumbwaiter from Santora's . — — ... .. . eh that he's into what he's playing. What did one reviewer say to the other? Don't get any ideas. "Do you think we're too critical?" "Definitely." Great drum player. He got loose after doing his solo, now he's really playing freely. The musicians should make it their responsibility to be sure that what they play is heard by the audience. Musicians should not act like they don't care. They get into what they're doing and they act like they don't care if anyone is listening. As a result, a lot; of people don't hear if what's going on. If they're doing a concert for people there are people coming to hear them they should make it their responsibility that the music is heard clearly. Otherwise it won't get done, because nobody knows the music like they do. Musicians give the responsibility to other people, and in the end lose control over their music. Just like soloing again; I play the music, you do the sound check, you run the lights, and there's no interaction. Delegation of authority. Leaders and followers. No responsibility. No control. Out of control. Corporate business. Corporate government, corporate music. Everyone out for themselves. Everyone out of the room. EVERYONE OUT PLEASE WE HAVE ANOTHER SHOW TO DO!! — "The last thing they'd ever think of doing is to let us clap along with the song." "I know. That might turn it into a clap-a-thon." (To honestly say how I feel at this moment, the thing that's 90 percent on my mind I wish I was in a chair and there was no Jay Beckenstein.) DUMBEG III!

The drummer is playing the high-hat. McCoy Tyner is wiping his face, so he's not making any noise. The squeaking sound is coming from the percussionist, from this wierd thing he's — McCOY stage, picking things up, putting things down, cleaning the stage, having conversations.

Cold Spring Habor, while thumbing through a row of dusty discs in the back of some record store. Then Joel took off, "headed out to California," and made his mark with an album and single, both entitled Piano Man. Now one year and two albums later, "Billy the Kid" is riding into Buffalo to make his first appearance at Kleinhans Music Hall, Saturday. Billy has been dubbed the Piano Man by his promo agents, which is reasonable, because he happens to be one of the finest piano players in the business. But his talents also extend to a sensational voice, and an excellent capability with an organ, harmonica and, most recently on his StreetHfe Serenade album, with the Moog. His songs ring with a terrifying realism that can come only from experience. He tells tales of men who sit and watch life pass them by while they grasp a martini in their hands. He bellows out about die roller coaster life of a rock musician, and he speaks bitterly about the shallow and empty life of a Long Island youth. His music borders on the mellow, with a rag tossed in here or there to set the tempo, and sometimes with a little bir of electrical flavor to it just for good taste. Billy Joel is in the same breed of musician as Harry Chapin and John Sebastian, in the sense that u.'Mke most performers who have "made it," he isn't off on some wild eg. trip. Instead, he cautiously takes time to look over life and put it into perspective with a song. In addition. Festival has announced the addition of a first act: Tom Rush, veteran of the sixties folk era who has recently branched out into more electric veins, as anyone who has heard his latest album knows. A delightful double-bill, for those who enjoy both excellent music and thought-provoking lyrics. In the beginning, there was the Allman Brothers Band, their nationwide appeal stemming from brother Duane's great guitar work. He played Blues at its best. Then Duane died; Greg got laid back; and southern rock was left in the hands of Capricorn Records in Macon, Georgia. Two of Capricorn's finest brought a little of Macon to the Brockport University gym on Thursday, Feb. 20, and they did it in hog-callin', pig-sloppin' fashion. Bonnie Bramlett started off the show a mere hour late. Bonnie's music is hard to describe. It's a combination of jazz-rock and Delta-blues, with the interesting addition of sax and trombone. Foxy Bonnie wiggled and Joplin-wailed her way through 45 minutes of southern funk and was generally well received by the crowd. But the surprising thunder of applause that greeted the Marshall Tucker Band seemed to dwarf Bonnie's acclaim | The Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, and the Department of | Computer Sciences presents: Dr. Joseph Weizenbaum : * Professor of Computer Sciences M.l.T. |''Theories, Models IComputerPrograms" & i i The relationship between theories, models and models in Computer Programming will be explored.

(What mellowness there is on their first albums gets cranked up in concert.) Tucker set the tone immediately with a quick "Hillbilly Band." You can have fun, I'm telling you can, You can have fun. I'm telling you can. when you stomp your feet to a hillbilly band. It's foot-stompin', hand-clappin', knee-slappin' kind of music. Want mellowness? I suggest Joni Mitchell. Cowboy rock Caldwell epitomizes what southern rock is all about. He has a limitless range combined with good taste. He stands up there in his cowboy hat and boots and lays down some outsrageous licks. Unfortunately, during his solos, the power of his blues guitar too often has the effect of losing the rest of the group, so that it seems like they aren't even playing. It is only when Caldwell and the rest of the band effectively utilize each other, that the band plays as well as it is capable of playing. What gives the Tucker Band their own unique sound is saxman and flutist Jerry Eubanks. From originally simply playing backup in the band, he has now emerged as a very creditable soloist. His country flute adds an extra dimension and compensates for the more traditional keyboard man, lacking in this group. Though the concert had its flaws, not the least of which were terrible acoustics (even for a gym), and a sound system that was all bass and no treble, Marshall Tucker made up for it and the lack of polish displayed on their albums with their sheer energy. In these times of other groups mellowing out or donning make-up and high-heels, it is good to know that at least the South and Marshall Tucker are still producing good hard rock-and-roll.

The group (formerly known as Buffalo Chips) has received widespread recognition throughout the U.S. and Canada. Buffalo Gals have made numerous radio and television appearances and have played a multitude of dubs and festivals during the past year. They received a standing ovation at the Philly Folk Festival when they played the main Saturday afternoon "Beauty and the Beast" concert with David Bromberg. Buffalo Gals have appeared and picked on stage with such people as Breakfast Special. Bottle Hill, Country Granola, Bromberg, Snuffy Jenkins, Don Reno, Vassar Clements and John Hartford.

Tearing house down with innovative, traditional folk Old time traditionalists and all other musically inclined were delighted by the fine performances of both Stringband and Michael Cooney at last Friday and Saturday night's coffeehouses. Stringband, a Canadian group, captures the vitality and humor of old time music in their innovative versions of traditional tunes. They have achieved something rare; a sincere blending of old time styles with contemporary themes. Bob Bossin's crisp frailing on banjo, Marie Lynn Hammond's guitar work and Ben Mink's electric fiddle lend a unique interpretation to traditional tunes. The group is confortable performing an amzaing number of distinct styles, ranging from blues to French Canadian folk songs to American Indian chants to message songs. Marie Lynn Hammond and Bob Bossin wrote of the tunes they performed. The gently cynical “Did Vou Hear They Busted the Fiddle Player" and "Vancouver," a song about the desire to stay put, were especially fine. But by far the hit song of the evening was an answer to the women's view of beauty contests, called "Show Me the Length of many Your Cock," in which we are told "don't judge, lest we judge you." The versatile Michael Cooney opened his set with the sea shantie "Blow Ye Winds" on banjo. His repertoire consists of songs of the people: migrant farm workers. World War II soldiers, and children, as well as English and American traditional songs. Cooney excelled in the last set with several traditional songs. The audience enthusiastically participated in "All for Me Grg" and "New York Girls." He pulled out a hand-made fretless banjo (claiming it looked like something to be found in a museum or a Danish modern furniture shop) and played a delightfully obnoxious version of "Old Joe Clark." He followed with "Mole in the Ground" a southern mountain song in a modal tuning that conjured images in my mind of an evening on the back porch with banjo, family and friends. Cooney received a standing ovation and encored with a medley of popular songs of the turn of the century. Michael Cooney and Strlngband tore the house down Saturday night with a sell-out crowd.

Prodigal Su �'Flesh Gordon: anemia plus Porno films can be divided into two categories: hard-core and soft-core. Hard-core generally includes nothing but sex, while soft-core mixes the sex with a little story thrown in for good measure. These categories can be further divided by the effect the film has on an audience: fun, disgusting, so disgusting it's fun. Flesh Gordon does a balancing act between the first two categories and never touches upon the others. It's anemic. Rather closely based in the Flash Gordon serials of the late thirties and early forties, the film, in a smug prologue, states its goal as "adding the outrageousness of today" to the nostalgia, and goes further by dedicating Flesh Gordon to the orignal filmmakers. The gaunt plot is as follows: Sex is running rampant in America. This is the result of red rays being sent off the planet Porno by the evil Dr. Wang, whose people are engaged in a non-stop orgy. Flesh Gordon teams up with a fellow named Jerk-Off and Dale, a sweet young girl, and all three head for Porno in a phallus-shaped rocket to defeat Wang. Eventually Wang wants Dale for his bride, but, of course, doesn't get his wish. Porno and its people are destroyed and the team heads for earth. Nothing else happens except a few encounters with comical monsters (Penisaurus, etc.), a nude (except for T-shirts and pompoms) line of women cheerleading for Wang, and a young woman who, in her lust, gets the Magic Pasties lodged in the wrong place (the actress' comic sense saves this scene). All are what you'd call "fitfully amusing." The young director and writer do the usual young-director-and-writer homages (Melies, King Kong, The Wizard of Oz, etc.), but in this case the imitations are an excuse for the laziness and acute lack of imagination. The film has no style; visually and technically, it’s dead. Flesh Gordon wasn't exactly made on a shoestring (almost, but not exactly), and one can't help thinking of what Robert Altman (McCabe and Mrs. Miller) or Brian de Palma IPhantom of the Paradise ) could have accomplished with the same budget and, possibly, the same material. Stuart Rosenberg's The Laughing Policeman will be shown in the Norton Conference Theatre tonight, and it is suggested that anyone seriously interested in flawed art or good entertainment go see it. The movie was adapted from a Swedish detective novel and sometimes one has the feeling that the storyteller is a zonked-out Selma Lagerlof so has the film the quality of a dark fairy tale, set in a sunny/nightmare metropolis. The film has biases (gays, blacks) but if you can overlook these faults (Rosenberg has never been very intelligent in his handling of minorities) you'll find this tale of multiple murder, sleuthing and car chasing in a very dreamlike San Fransico a stunner. The film stars Walter Matthau and Bruce Dern. One remembers the original serial as a charming collage, filmed in golden black and white. To do with it what these filmmakers have done (at least Flash Gordon had the disadvantage of scientific naivete) sets movies back and that is disgusting. Flesh Gordon is currently being shown at the Kensington Theatre. —Dean Billanti — Funny, guaranteed success by Kevin Crane Spectrum Arts Staff The Niagara University Players presented the first in a two-year cycle of American plays in observance of the American bicentennial last Friday. You Can't Take It With You is directed by Brother Augustine Towey, C.M. The University Players consists of members of the University, students and non-students, who produce plays funded by donations and box office receipts. You Can't Take It With You was written by Moss Hart and George Kaufman and was first produced in 1936. It is the story of the Sycamores, a "ima Tr^sJk J 1-. /L - - "m- -\ ' . 'u. ■,FONG family which, under the influence of Grandpa Vanderhof, does only what it wants to do and only as much as it wants to. Penny, the mother, writes plays because eight years ago, a typewriter was delivered to the house by mistake. Meanwhile, Paul, the father, works ail day and night making fireworks in the basement with Mr. DePinna, a delivery man who liked the Sycamores' lifestyle so much he wound up staying for ten years. — Abnormally funny Meanwhile, their daughter Essie practices ballet and makes candy, which her husband Ed delivers with little messages in the boxes like "God is the State, the State is God," which he finds in books and prints himself, when he's not playing the xylophone. The only "normal'' one is Essie's younger sister, Alice, who never brings her friends home for fear of what they'll think of her family. But now she is planning to become engaged to her boss' son, and is faced with the task of introducing the two families. That's the general direction of the play which, thanks to Kaufman's and Hart's writing, still manages to be funny despite its age. The lines are so well written that they'll be funny no matter who says them, so You Can't Take It With You is a natural choice for most amateur theatre groups or high school thespians who want a guaranteed success. Unfortunately, the result of such popularity is an overwhelming number of bad performances. Everyone knows where to laugh because the funny lines are said with the most emphasis, or while the actor is speeding out of the room. People have reason to cringe when they read that You Can't Take It With You is being put on again. However, as much as you may have disliked Prodigal Sun the Village Green Theatre Group's production, if you want to understand why Kaufman and Hart wrote this play, the N.U. Players are the ones to see. The set and costumes are surprisingly good, especially considering the budget Brother Towey had to work with. The lighting, while simple, is very effective (for example, the overhead beam on Grandpa Vanderhof when he talks to "the man upstairs"). The pace of the play is a bit slower than in other productions, which allows the audience to hear each line before they laugh at it. The acting is good for the most part, though it's here that the production's flaws poke through. One of the driving forces of the play and of the Sycamore family is Penny. While Grandpa provides the philosophy, it is Penny Sycamore who really epitomizes what he says, and at the same time, sets the example that the rest of the family follows. In the course of the first act, everyone introduces himself and what he's into at that time. The important thing is that they all present it through Penny. She is onstage typing when Essie rushes in to show her new ballet step, when Paul comes up from the basement to demonstrate his newest firecracker, etc. Penny, in turn, informs them of which play she's currently working on. They are, in effect, reinforcing each other. Disturbingly real But Cecilia Buckley as Penny never really looks up from her plays to see what everyone else is so excited about. Anyone who's ever been a little kid knows the difference between "that's nice" meaning "I really like it" and "that's nice" meaning "Mother's busy, dear, go play." The beauty of the Sycamores is that they're all doing what they want, which makes them a happy, together family. Perhaps Ms. Buckley's Penny is too "realistic." John Overbeck as Grandpa Vanderhof seems to have the right idea. He is perfectly at ease with Grandpa's thinking, letting the lines come out by themselves without making it a point to say them. Grandpa commands the stage when he is explaining why he does what he does, moving along at his own leisurely pace. Once you get used to his obvious aging, he is a sheer pleasure to watch. Equally excellent are Brother Martin Schneider, Paul Sycamore, the father, and Joe Temperate as Donald. Their performances are consistent from start to finish. When they are on stage, you tend to forget you're watching a play. C.M. as None of their lines are forced or misunderstood. They too come and go at their own paces, taking the time to be aware of the people around them. Also noteworthy are Ray Tamborini and Cathy Falcone who, as the young lovers, wisely resist the temptation to deliver their melodramatic lines melodramatically, and Rhonda Dyess and Bob Kazeangin, whose caricatures can only be described as beautiful. As for the rest of the cast, the acting was good, but sometimes plagued by the tendency to come alive only on cue or to push the lines too hard; problems which I'm sure will work themselves out in time. No performance was bad; it just seems a shame to have such serious flaws in an otherwise expert production. On the whole, the Niagara University Players' production of You Can't Take It With You is an enjoyable way to spend an evening, especially at a time when good live comedy is so rare. It will be playing tonight, tomorrow and Sunday at Niagara University's Clet Hall. Reservations can be made by calling 285-1212. Tall blonde man On Saturday and Sunday, the film will be The Tall Blonde Man with One Black Shoe. It is hysterical! Filmed in French (subtitled), it transcends all national boundaries with its spirited, romantic story of love, classical music and spys. Sure, it sounds dumb, but it's not rather, it's an intricately-plotted, contageous comedy. This weekend, the midnight show tonight and tomorrow is Pound, directed by Robert Downey. —Dean Billanti ... ; —Jay Boyar n Uli i « by Israel Friedman This is the first in what I hope will be a series of articles designed inform those of you to whom Buffalo seems devoid of nightlife just where the entertainment is, and to show that there really is an alternative to staying on campus and watching films every evening. These articles won't be hype sheets, merely singing the praises of certain bars and entertainers in this town, nor will they render free publicity to various club owners and musicians. The Central Park Grill, or CPG as it's commonly called, is located on Main and Rodney, just a few blocks south of Fillmore. The CPG is run by Bob Brown, who wants to offer people a place to play their music. This man is open, honest and really sincere. We talked of several things, and we both agreed on the need for a recording studio of high caliber in this city and felt it was time Buffalo had one. There's a pool table and pinball games here, but what I wish to relate concerns the live entertainment. First a word about Mike Catalano, who's been playing guitar and singing for almost as long as I can remember. He's what I like to consider Buffalo's singer in residence. Like a good wine, Mike gets better with time. Name just about any song and chances are he can do it, and do it well. But what makes the songs always sound new and refreshing rather than simply rehashes of old familiar tunes is the personal interpretation and feeling he is able to bring to all the songs he does. However for me, the highlight of the night came when a lady I'd never heard before got up to do her first set that night. The audience all seemed to be aware that something special was about to take place. I quickly got a confirmation of my reading of the crowd when Linda Namias started playing her guitar and singing her songs. The only word that comes to mind to describe her sound is thrilling. Here is a lady that can really play the guitar. I'm not referring to simply playing accompanying chords, but really picking some clean licks, riffs and notes. Although reluctant to use all the superlative cliches always being tossed around in music reviews, they easily could apply here. The music is Delta blues influences, and Linda herself mentions that one of her favorites is Robert Johnson (long known as one of the early blues leaders). A good means of judging the effectiveness of a performer, especially in a bar, is to look around to see how many people are actually paying attention to the performance in progress. If the room is fairly quiet that's saying something right there. Linda not only had everyone listening, she seemed to have everyone practically spellbound. Next time you've got a notion to step out for a little excitement, you might want to keep the Central Park Grill and Mike and Linda in mind. There's live entertainment there Monday—Thursday. Sunday nights feature Sittin-ln sessions from 1-3 a.m., when everyone is invited to come up and play. The people are friendly, the prices affordable, and the music always first rate. to Next issue: Country and Western music in the West. (West side of Buffalo, that is.)

Paul Anka, Frankie Vali, Neil Sedaka and Bobby Vinton are all names from the past that have managed to climb back onto the charts. Well, with us once more is Chuck Berry. Berry's latest release (entitled very simply Chuck Berry) is his first album of original material in four years (prior to this album was his London Sessions, a half live, half studio Ip that featured the teeny-bopper ballad of promiscuity, "My Ding-a-ling"). The album begins on the wrong — cryin' Johnny B. Goode and keep a rockin’ That where my Grandma and my Grandpa stay. The remainder of the first side is shaky.

In between Willie Dixon's "I Just Want to Make Love to you" and "High Heeled Sneakers," two excellent pieces, is "South of the Border," a cruddy 1950's tune which Chuck struggles through with a Mexican accent. Side two starts off just as poorly as its predecessor, with "You Are My Sunshine," another traditional piece that really wasn't written with rock and roll in mind. But that's the last taste of garbage the album has to offer. The remaining songs are blends of country and western and Chicago blues, whiph Chuck handles rather well. "Baby, What Do You Want Me To Do," features Chuck's daughter, Ingrid Gibson on lead vocals. Ingrid does a great job instrumental with this song, but doesn't come which is the album's there's "Deuce," close to realizing the potential of high point.

First is the gritty and Chuck Berry is a fair album that is lead-gutted "Don't Lie to Me," often good in spots, but just as often weak and faulty. The album could have been so much smoother had Berry headed in the same direction through the album's entirety. I think that if the "great granddaddy of rock and roll" could let go of rock for good, and get himself back to the blues (where his roots are), he'd come off with a solid piece of work.

February 1975 3.197s VjBUvn'i �Loudon Wainwright III, Unrequited (Columbia) AARGH. Hangover city., I should be sleeping. Why do I have to do this review, anyway? Because it's my duty? Because of the measly stipend I get for doing this thankless job? Because I don't want the day to be a total waste? No, actually, it's because, being the wonderful person I am, I just had to let you all know about the great new album Loudon Wainwright III has put out. Loudon has long had the reputation for being "folk's resident misanthrope." (Thank you. Bill M„ for the phrase.) Well, the satiric lyrics are still there, but Unrequited is the farthest departure Loudon has yet taken from the simple acoustic genre he began in. Luckily, the result is not a commercial cop-out; rather, it's a long-awaited expansion of a songwriting and performing talent that has always had the potential to adapt to many different kinds of treatments. The opener, "Sweet Nothings," immediately lets you know what you're in for. Replete with a funky drum beat, wah-wah guitar, organ and echo chambers, this slick number is bound to send the RECORDS "Kings and Queens" is a country foxtrot with melancholy fiddle and clarinet tracks that makes you feel like a dancehall at 3 a.m.; "Crime of Passion" is a wonderfully murky tune whose throaty organ, sax and eerie fiddle solo place you in the middle of some kind of perverted grade B Italian flick: When my soul has fled Keep my carcass in your bed: Hard times ration. And for old time's sake, there's "Absence Makes just Loudon and an the Heart Grow Fonder" acoustic guitar. The song succeeds with the help of Kate (his wife) and her sister, Anna McGarigle, whose back-up harmonies are heartrendingly beautiful. Side two was recorded live at the Bottom Line in New York; if you've ever seen him live you can envision his antics as you listen along. If not, you get a chance to at least hear a typically energetic and — zany performance. Some people consider Loudon crazy, but there is a method to his madness. I'm told he studied acting at Carnegie Tech. It stands him in good stead every song is another personality, another routine. But he's more than a stand-up comic. With just his simple guitar accompaniment, he manages to hold and entertain the crowd, and no wonder; virtually every song on this side is a gem. On "Guru," for example, he briefly becomes Al ("down in Southern California, yessir!"). Jolson In "The Untitled," or "The Hardy Boys at the Y," he's an English balladeer with a modern love song to sing. (This quote picks up the thread as we find Frank and Joe washing each other off after their — — workout.) folkies running to check the label. Although I was so shocked by it the first time that I couldn't really enjoy it, on repeated listenings, it became more and more enjoyable, and I soon realized how perfectly this arrangement compliments the feeling of the lyrics. Wainwright has a lot of Woodstockian friends and neighbors helping out on this venture, from Jon Hall to Harvey Brooks to Freebo to Richard Greene to George Gerdes on the musician end to others in the production phases; but it says produced by Loudon, and even if it didn't, I would give him credit for the concepts. Every song on side one has a different feel, and they are all so tastefully done that each cut is a new delight. "Lowly Tourist," for instance, is a reggae tune, sung in a droll Jamaican accent, setting forth the plight of the poor New Jersey man vacationing in the Caribbean; Oh / am a lowly tourist and sometimes feel so / low At the duty free they laugh at me and they treat me like a schmoe Sure they take my money and sometimes they even smile But in a local pub or restaurant feel like I'm on trial. / Harvey Mandel, (Chess/Janus) The Best of Harvey Mandel For the last five or six years, fans of rock music have been increasingly subjected to the rantings of musicians suffering from Claptonitis, a disorder which makes the musician try to sound like another musician. Although it is by no means restricted to guitar players, nor are they restricted to copying Eric Clapton; I choose the name because he is, by far, the most common cause (witness Mick Taylor, Dave Mason, etc.). What, you may ask, does all this have to do with Marvel Mandel? Very little! Despite the fact that Mandel has played with John Mayall, he suffers very little (if at all) from the aforementioned complaint. Even touring for some time with Canned Head didn't turn him into a boogie man. In fact, The Best of Harvey Mandel is a very refreshing album, and Harvey is a very refreshing guitarist. Although Mandel has been recording albums since 1968, he hasn't sold an enormous number. However, this really is a "best of" album in the sense that each of the ten tracks is worthwhile, the record company choosing judiciously from his albums and omitting the more monotonous of his "greatest hits." The songs here reflect many different styles, ranging from funk to jazz to space-rock. Although his singing leaves a little to be desired, the musicianship is excellent, and most of the album is instrumental anyway. If you don't think you would like an album that is all guitar solos, listen to Prodigal Sun To Frank's request Joe did agree With a Times Square sleazy smile The gaping mouths of wash tub jocks Could not cramp Joe's style Fondling done with soaped up hands Can indeed beguile It was Greek to them and they came again Thrashing on cold tile, on cold tile. To which Loudon adds, in an affected tone, "It was fabulouth." most Unrequited is a good title for this album of the songs deal with that theme, from "Unrequited to the Nth Degree" in which he threatens suicide as a means of getting back at the girl who jilted him, to "Kick In the Head," about a painful traingle, to "Whatever Happened to Us" ("we missed the proverbial boat/ The train and the plane and the — — bus"). Loudon's lyrical trademarks are cynicism, sarcasm and humor, and the lyrics on this album are no exception. However, most people never look behind the laughs. Underneath them dwells love and sensitivity, pain, frustration and bitterness. They say Mark Twain was a frustrated revolutionary who painted himself into the corner of having to mask his sentiments with jokes. There are a few serious songs on Unrequited, but listening to them, one has the uncomfortable sensation of waiting for the punch line, of wondering where the joke is. Unrequited is not only light years better than Attempted Moustache, his last attempt, but is also an important step in Wainwright's development as an artist. With the wide world of production opening up in front of him, who knows what he'll do? Only time right now. Unrequited is a winner that'll will tell keep me content for quite a while. Willa Bassen Hudson-Ford, Free Spirit (A&M Records) Rock groups have a tendency to split and form new unities like amoebas gone mad with subdivision. The particular case in point refers to Hudson-Ford. These two English lads were originally tethered to the Strawbs until a year or two ago, when they broke free to inaugurate their own musical enterprise. Hudson and Ford share with their parent group, the Strawbs, a predominance of keyboard work which is evidenced throughout their new disc Free Spirit. But unfortunately, where the Strawbs had the talent of the likes of Rick Wakeman and an ability to translate the keyboard meanderings into a pleasing blend, Hudson-Ford comes off like an Edsel. Free Spirit is the new entry into the never ending pop sweepstakes chase for success. The album teeters between inspired mediocrity at its hlghpoints, and a soporific daze when it lulls into the doldrums as is only too frequent. The problems are multifold. As mentioned earlier, the keyboard playing sounds more often than not as if someone is either pouring cement or oatmeal down your ear canals. The tunes frequently bog down, snarled and brought to halts due to factors such as third-rate melodies and aimless, sluggish musical motifs. The vocal ramblings of Hudson and Ford border too closely on a weak, nasal resonance. In instances where their vocals demand power and punch, they reply with a metallic flatness. This limey duet would do well to take a few lessons from the Yankee twosome of Hall and Oates, whose vocal phrasings routinely reach heights that Hudson and Ford are incapable of dreaming of, let alone reproducing. The lyrical content of the songs are overburdened with intolerable fluff and maudlin sentiments. Their absence of substance combined with a severe paucity of musical titillation engenders a terminal ennui. The only cut which semi-generates any semblance of creativity is "Floating in the Wind." But even this song is good primarily because of the dismal company it keeps. Perhaps Hudson-Ford's "I Don't Want To Be A Star" bespeaks a truth, but a richer truth is revealed by the fact that with this tedium posing as entertainment, they never need fear being celebrities. The keynote of this record is boredom. If you haven't been getting your fair share lately, pick up the new Hudson-Ford offering. Otherwise, Free Spirit is just too much of a conventional dullard. C.P. Farkas — — — — this one anyway. Backing is provided by a conglomeration of various studio musicians (Sugarcane Harris and Larry Taylor among them), though none are credited on the album cover. A string section, playing a rock accompaniment, is employed on two cuts ("Midnight Sun" and "Baby Batter"), and a full orchestra and female chorus are used on "Cristo Redentor," which sounds something like a movie love theme. "Shangrenade" and "Babt Batter" are both excellent jazz pieces, featuring some nice piano work. Bassist Victor Conte wrote "What The Funk," which is self-explanatory, and very good at that. "Feel The Sound" shows moderate soul-jazz influence, features a wild overdubbed guitar solo (duet?), and is probably the only cut you will ever hear on the radio. Mandel's guitar work is outrageous. Although some of the older cuts show a less developed style, the newer material shows an unmistakably unique one. He gets a very distinctive sound out of his guitar; heavy sustain and distortion, yet very clean at the same time. This, along with his playing style, has earned Mandel a nickname, "The Snake," and listening to his music convinces one of its appropriateness. So, if you like Harvey Mandel, or if you like guitar players that don't sound like other guitar players, or, if you like jazz-rock that doesn't sound like Chick Corea, buy it. -John Duckman Friday, 28 February 1975 .

For the past five years the Student Association of the State University has been trying to build strength and support throughout the SUNY system. This support can only be gained through a widespread knowledge of what SASU is and what it can do for every student in the SUNY system. The Spectrum has repeatedly made SASU a third or fourth page story, and has refused to cover three SASU elections properly. In Monday’s The Spectrum there were no statements by SASU delegates. An interview arranged by The Spectrum with the and candidates was therefore no cancelled, endorsements can be made. Mr. Colucci (Feb. 24) blames the lack of candidates in this week’s election on the fact that “SASU delegates can’t help their pet interest groups much, nor can they impress people with their office.” Mr. Colucci, we feel that we are unopposed because 95 percent of the students at this University said “SASU WHO” when they heard about the elections. Unless The Spectrum recognizes that $9000 of student fees and many hours of student work are making SASU a powerful spokesman and lobbyist for SUNY students, our money and interest are in vain. SASU currently has a membership of 28 out of 30 SUNY centers, colleges, agricultural and technical schools, specialized colleges and graduate schools. These 174,000 students do have a say in what goes on in the SUNY system. The Spectrum was kind enough to include Dan Kohane’s comments in the article on proposed dorm rent hikes (Feb. 24) but neglected to mention that SASU had organized two busloads of students to picket Tuesday’s meeting of the Board of Trustees in New York City. IS STUDENT ACTIVISM COMING BACK? SASU SAYS YES TO PEACEFUL AND ORGANIZED PRESSURE. SASU also says yes to lobbying with legislators in Albany. Some issues right now are: 1. Provide for voting student membership on all govenring boards. 2. Rollback SUNY Tuition to register and vote in 4. Exempt textbooks from state sales tax 5. Eliminate or restrict uses of state aid to private colleges. There are an additional twenty or more issues being worked on right now. SASU’s past lobbying efforts have been very successful for such a young organization. SASU saved SUNY students $8 million dollars when the Tuition Assistance Program was instituted. Aside from SASU’s lobbying, numerous services are available to all SUNY students. The most widely used are Life Insurance, Tuitibn Term Insurance, Personal Property Insurance and Purchase Power, an organization that refers its members to low cost outlets for items such as stereos and cars. To use this service or get more information about these and other SASU services, come up to Room 205 Norton. The information service of SASU is rapidly growing. If a student wants any information on a program, activity, or policy of any other SUNY school, SASU will have it on file or will readily obtain it. Block booking and the statewide University ID are almost to the point of enactment. Block booking enables four or five universities to contract dates for« one artist, thereby increasing our bargaining power and decreasing costs. The Statewide ID allows a student to use his ID at any other State University for activities on that campus. We think SASU has a lot to offer. As SASU delegates, we pledge to: 1. Advertise SASU on campus 2. Gain the recognition of our campus newspapers, students, and administrators 3. Work within SASU to improve the programs already offered and expand SASU’s horizons. We sincerely hope that over the next few months The Spectrum will help us to make SASU more visible on campus and we hope that the students will take advantage of what SASU has to offer. Janice Garver Melanie Burger Neil Seiden Frank Jackalone 26-year occupation The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. 62 Support SASU To the Editor This is a short answer to Neil Bluestein’s letter that appeared in The Spectrum of Feb. 19. When you say that Zionism isn’t racist you are changing the real concept of Zionism. In “Israel” itself there is a distinct difference between the Eastern Jews and the Western Jews. Israel is under complete control of the Western Jews, who have decided how the Palistinians should live. Their homes have been destroyed, whole villages have Incompetent Post disappeared (Yallo, Em was, Alkaramah and many others), and the Inhabitants have been scattered throughout the area. Fatherless children and children whose fathers are missing in exile have never known a real “homeland.” In reference to the long history you claimed to have, which long history are you talking about? Do you mean the 26 years of occupation is a long history?? Abed Musallam Office To the Editor This letter is sent as a complaint on the new Post Office facilities in Norton Hall. I am not at all familiar with postal rates or procedures but I’ll tell you my experience with them and let you judge as to their competence. I was returning some merchandise that I had previously received by mail. The original cost of mailing was 34 cents. It would only be expected that it would cost the same amount to mail it back. They quoted a figure of +1.10 postage to mail this item. I took it back and instead went to a regular U.S. Post Office (Amherst Station). They charged me 34 cents. I tried again at another time and for a different package and again another outrageous price was quoted for which again the Post Office charged me much less. I think we need an investigation as to the competence of these employees. A short course in proper postage might be in order.

The women, all phone installers, were demoted to clerical jobs early in January, because they did not have as much seniority as their male counterparts. According to a contract negotiated with the Communication Workers of America (CWA) the phone company agreed to demote and fire workers on the basis of seniority last hired, first (EEOC) in 1973 which required Bell to hire more women into upper-level craft and management jobs. At the time of the agreement, the EEOC had called AT&T “without a doubt the largest oppressor of women workers in the United States.” The CWA, for its part, has been fighting the government—Bell agreement ever since its signing. “A basic principle of trade unionism in this country is seniority,” said a local spokesman for the CWA. “The consent decree is eliminating seniority in promotion and advancement.” Although a case involving the Bell system has never reached the courts, the decision in other recent affirmative action vs. seniority suits have been Just as its forced desegregation According to the women, however, this contract spurred other corporations to affirmative action, the violated the consent agreement signed by AT&T and Bell case is expected to decide the issue, but the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission probably not before it goes to the Supreme Court. — fired. contradictory. Undergrad Geography A recent national survey showed a four percent increase in high schools participating in the 20 year-old national Advanced Placement (AP) program. Under the AP system, high school students may receive college credit for “advanced” courses taken in high school. The Board cites an increase of eleven percent in the number of students involved and a jump of twelve percent in the amount of examinations taken. Students who took/ Advanced Placement courses and entered college last fall saved an average of $400 in higher education costs, according to college board estimates New York was the leading state in the nation in AP participation in 1974 with 541 high schools and almost 14,000 students involved. Harlan Hanson, AP director for the College Entrance Examination Board, estimates that AP students save as much as $24 million nationwide and state students are likely to save about $5,346,000 in college fees. At present, AP is offered to only about 15 percent of the high schools in the country and slightly more than 15 percent of all eligible students. Hoping to increase contact An attempt to meet the need for increased contact among undergraduate geography majors, graduate students and faculty members will be made by the new Undergraduate Geography Organization (UGO). “There has been a general feeling for the last year that there hasn’t been enough interaction between geography students, so a group got together and began the UGO,” said co-president Mike McC umber. UGO members hope to sponsor social events, such as beer blasts and wine tasting parties, invite experts to speak on topics in geography, and sponsor field trips which may include mine tours and naturalism trips. Because the differences in the two major fields of geography arc great, the UGO members fell a single president could not represent the interests of all members. Mr. McCumber is mainly interested in Human Geography, which concerns itself with the sociological and economic impact of geography. Bob Bachman, the other co-president, concentrates on Physical Geography, which deals with (he geological aspects of geography. The UGO is planning a newsletter and film series. The films will be divided evenly between technical subjects and movies which will interest the general public. The UGO is open to all students. Anyone interested may attend its next membership meeting on Thursday, February 27 at 3;30 p.m. in Room 266 Norton Hall.

Some have insisted that integration meant cultural genocide for the native Americans. Others believe Indian culture should be retained, that their artifacts, history and customs should be preserved. Both regard education as the solution. Education is viewed as the transmission of behavioral patterns, technology, art and language. According to those opposed to western education, a true Indian education can never be achieved in public schools. “It is extremely difficult'to maintain a culture without territory,” explained John Mohawk, initiator of a native American studies program. He explained that Indians can be taught only on home ground, where the subjects would be the essentials of life agriculture, home-bpilding, language, religion and government. Basket weaving, for example, would be taught, because baskets are essential to the Indian way of life, he said. It is important that a cooperative relationship with the land and its other inhabitants also be taught, he added. “The only way that there will be an actualization of Indian culture, is if the people of that culture have access to a land base,” Mr. Mohawk added. - Reestablish culture He cited Eagle Bay as an example of Indian education and communication. According to a treaty signed in 1797, New York State purchased two million acres from the Mohawk Indians through their agents. The Mohawks, however, have since claimed that this deal was fraudulent. The case has been taken to court several times. In May, 1974, they occupied the land in an attempt to “reestablish the culture.” Many native Americans dissatisfied with western schools claim they transmit racist policies and spread cultural antagonism. They claim that Indian children are drawn away from their communities to attend the schools, producing a social identity crisis and leaving a lifelong effect Supporters of pure Indian culture say the western schools socialize -Indian children by teaching them competition; and that competition is deadly to a tribal existence. However, other native Americans feel that in order to succeed in western society, one Indian child must study western culture and be “socialized.” They consider this knowledge one of the essentials of survival and say it is necessary to know how to teach a class, go to court, or lobby in Washington. They also say it is necessary to have native American professionals represent and serve other native Americans. Several Indian students interviewed stated that they attended college because “our parents wanted us to.” Progressive? “We must employ all the tools that the western world has developed,” said Arliss Barss, counselor at the University’s Equal Opportunity Center. She called herself a “progressive Indian” who believes in some traditional ways. “If you don’t know your own identity, you can’t blame the white world for that, or the environment,” she continued, blaming this identity crisis on parents. “I applaud the state and the educational system for teaching, what Mama and Papa did not.” Bob St. Arnold, a liasion officer at the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), agrees ihat western education has had an important purpose. Having attended a BIA school 15 years ago, he disagrees that white teachers are hazardous to the integrity of Indian culture. “Who did we have educated to teach Indians?” he asked. Explaining the interaction between the students and teachers, he said, “We related to them,” adding that several BIA schools have large Indian staffs. A native American student here concurred “You can’t have one without the other,” referring to Indian and western education Culture and education Donna Hill, an aide to the Indian Education Project, claimed that Indian children are learning more about their culture now. "When I was in grade school, I didn’t know anything about the culture.” Ron La France, research information specialist for the Indian Education Project, agreed. “Parents feel that the children must have a 200 percent education, because we live in two worlds. Otherwise they will be frustrated.” This represents the view that Indian culture must survive in a western society. Mr. La France remembered being ostracized, by the other, more Westernized, Indian children in the BIA schools for carrying out traditional customs. “A lot of people went into binding into the dominant society,” he said. “It must be one hell of a head trip to hide your identity.” TOMORROW NIGHT m UUAB Music Committee proudly presents ANOTHER IN R SERIES OF SPECTACULAR SHOWS!

In keeping with this goal, South African blacks are already enjoying improved pay scales, health care, education and social amenities, according to some political observers. They are now allowed to ride the same busses as whites and dine at the same restaurants, although many blacks shy away from these opportunities because of the intense hostility they encounter. A central complaint of various African states against South Africa is its illegal occupation of the territory of Southwest Africa, a land rich in several profitable minerals and inhabited solely by black tribesmen. Mr. Botha declared, “The South African government has always recognized that Southwest Africa has a distinct international status. We have no designs on it.” He went on to say that Southwest Africa may achieve a measure of self-rule within ten years. Africans have also accused South Africa of plotting with racist Rhodesia to repress its black insurgents. Mr. Botha allowed that his country is doing its utmost to prevent civil hostilities in — — - . Rhodesia. Although most observers felt that the ambassador’s words were just that words they have admitted that their mere utterance indicates a meaningful new trend. One African delegate noted, “At least our joint indignatibn has stirred South Africa to think about reform, jf only for purposes of self-perservation.” — — Priorities have said. “Some Saigon say he has been assassinated by the Thieu government; others say he is being held and tortured at Con Son Island or the National Police Headquarters.

The Accords “prohibit all and of reprisal discrimination against individuals or organizations that have collaborated with either side” and insure freedom of speech, acts press, meeting and organization.

Basketball: February Rochester — — Up for pins Wrestling Bulls set for NCAA regional by Lynn Everard Staff Writer Spectrum This weekend the Wrestling Bulls travel to Penn State for the NCAA eastern qualifying tournament. The top three wrestlers in each weight class plus five outstanding wrestlers will represent the region at the national championships at Princeton in mid-March. The Bulls already have a state championship and a 14-3-1 dual meet record to look back on. And although past-season competition is much tougher, Buffalo has a trio of wrestlers with a good chance of distinguishihg themselves at the national level. Seniors Jim Young, Emad Faddoul and Charlie Wright have been almost flawless all season and represent the Bulls’ hopes for national recognition. Young defeated Young finished his dual meet season undefeated (18-0-0) and then went on to win the state championship in the 134 lb. class. Jim is also one of the originators of the Students for the Future of Athletics (SFA) movement on campus. “Politics has not interfered with my wrestling but it has interfered with my overall education,” Jim said about his newest time commitment. Other wrestlers have become involved in SFA, and Coach Ed WHght supports their effort, acknowledging that his athletes have been very instrumental in the movement to maintain dignity and pride in the athletic program. “I think it’s a shame that at a time like this when my team should be directing all of its efforts into qualifying for the nationals, we still find ourselves embroiled in campus politics and the fight for the continuation of the program,” he added A swollen pinky, the result of a bore chip, might be Young’s biggest problem. “It will hopefully be ready,” Young said “If not I’ll wrestle anyway.” Emad Faddoul, also a state champ, has been a standout for the Bulls this year at 177. His only loss was to national ranked Joe Carr, brother and teammate of Olympian Jimmy Carr. Faddoul was less than overpowering last year. He blamed it on a lack of confidence. He claims this season’s improvement resulted from self confidence. “The difference between the winner and loser is all in the head,” he said. Wright in the clutch The big news from the wrestling mats this year was the clutch performance of Charlie Wright at heavyweight. His decision to wrestle heavyweight at the state tournament rather than 190, after going down to 190 in preparation, was a big surprise. Wright had trouble making the 190 lbs. standard, and was left in the bind of being too small for heavyweight and too big for 190 He plans to lose weight more gradually in preparation for the eastern regionals and doesn’t think it will be a problem. “You psych yourself up for a match not for a weight,” he said. Wright’s dramatic wins pulled out many a match this season and amazed the fans as well as the opposition. “The thought that I’ve come through for the team and beaten a lot of guys who thought they could take me has made my season,” Charlie said. In Tuesday's basketball romp over Rochester, the Bulls were led by sophomore forward Mike Jones who is pictured above in an intrasquad scrimmage. Jones poured in 30 points and added 17 rebounds as Buffalo Yellow Jackets, 81-62. went on to defeat the Best performance Bulls rout Yellow Jackets “1 was just trying to box him oat,” said Pellom. “On every shot, I looked for him to box him out. It was easy to get the rebound. He didn’t even push.” (Pellom also blocked six shots.) by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer There is something about Rochester that brings out the best in Buffalo basketball. For the second year in a row, the Bulls puf. together their best Jones stars Buffalo continued to play “musical high scorer.” Mike Jones lead the way this time with 30 points. Buffalo has not had a consistent offensive performer all year, but they have compensated for it by coming up with a different offensive hero each game. “I was shooting good,” Jones said. “When I shoot good, I get more confidence, and when I get more confidence, I play better.” Mike also had 17 rebounds With Jones and Pellom leading the way, Buffalo broke away from Rochester, scoring 18 consecutive points and putting the game, which had been close at halftime, out of reach. Richardson emptied his bench with seven minutes remaining. “We’ve got some young men who finally blended together,” said Richardson, repeating an old theme of his. “I think we’ll still have to wait until the end of the season before we evaluate them. But we’ve come a long way.” Buffalo takes on Pittsburgh tomorrow night at the Aud. performance of the season against the Yellowjackets. The result: an 81-62 rout. The Bulls arc now 8-15. Before the game, the question was whether Buffalo’s center. Sam Pellom, could contain Rochester’s Damian Upson, who is 25 lbs. heavier. “The way he (Buffalo coach Leu Richardson) was talking about his (Upson). I thought he was a superman.” said Pellom, an impressionable freshman. As it turned out. the question was could Upson contain Pellom, and if he could, when would he start? The Rochester star, who had been averaging over eleven rebounds a game, was held to just wo by Pellom. Sam pulled down 26 of his own. just six short of the school record. Dee-fense Buffalo began the game in their usual 2-3 zone defense, but when Upson scored two quick baskets, the Bulls switched to a 2-1-2. giving Pellom the job of guarding the big Yellowjacket. After that, Sam controlled the backboards, leading an incredible 90-30 team rebound advantage.

I figured it would be an act of mercy to give the swimmers as little publicity as possible.) He sought to rectify his problem by writing his own newsletter. It’s called Natatorium. Generally, Natatorium has reported the teams results, bragging about their record breaking performances, and how good the team has gotten. Sanford has written books before, but his journalism is less than polished and makes no pretense at being impartial. However, as in most everything he does, he pulls it off with such wit and charm that one really doesn’t mind the flaws. But lately the Natatorium has gotten political and it’s last issue (dated February 24) reflects the sentiment of not only the proud coach that Sanford has always been, but unfortunately, the bitter old man he has become. The cover of the latest edition (see drawing) hardly scratches the surface of his feelings. Consider Natatorium ’s first paragraph. The ‘Think or Thwim’ as the saying goes Buffalo swimmers find themselves in this uncomfortable position as our ‘final’ swim season draws to a close. Winning the SUNY Center cross the campus today. It appears to be only a stopping place where one postpones the responsibilities of life.” Sanford can’t understand why some people don’t understand the value of this great experience. Sanford has been into swimming for a long time. He is the only coach the University has ever had. I like to joke and say that he built the pool, but the fact is that he did. (Clark’s pool was an addition to the building that Sanford supervised.) He is a past President of the National Coaches Association, and has been on the Rules Committee. He invented the scoring system used in diving competition. The man has a list of honors as long as your arm, matched only by his pride in his team and his sport. But in the last Natatorium, he gives it all up. “I’ve written to resign my own national positions throughout the world of swimming. For at the •wmmiivm vuwn t r**. %, iw A'* X *9 / — Swimming Championships at Albany, and at the same time floundering in the turbulent sea of campus destruction created by SA President Frank Jackalone which is aroused by Student Affairs whims of a few four year tenants, who could care less about a GREAT UNIVERSITY, a career has Coordinator Howard Schapiro.” ended.” Sanford goes on to criticize SA for its $54,000 Wait a second.

Finally, a few years ago, there was an attempt to end or severely the fighting. curtail NHL by David J. Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer Last year, the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL) won the Stanley Cup playoffs by intimidating their opponents. Although they were a good hockey club, the key to their success was their ability to instill fear into the other team by using violence on the ice. Players like Dave Schultz, who is now in his second consecutive of season record-breaking penalties, seem more concerned with Fighting than with playing hockey. “ inconvenient, but something people can tolerate,’.’ remarks Dr. Lester W. Milbrath, Director of the Social Science Reserach Institute, in interpreting the results of the trade-off do they go together? —continued Although Schultz and players like him have earned reputations as both fighters and as good hockey players, it is unfortunate that it is the fighting which makes them so appealing to the fans. Sticks and stones Hockey is undoubtedly the most physical professional sport today. Coaches encourage their players to give still checks as often as they can as long as they do it legally. This sort of brutal play often leads to a flaring of tempers, and an occasional brawl or two. The fans, however, seem not to be satisfied with a push or a punch. They dream about team-against-team rumbles every game, with no concern at all for goal-scoring or forechecking. Realizing that fights are what fans like, many teams have encouraged their players to get involved in altercations, hoping that increased punching Will lead to increased profits. This attitude led to bigger and bloodier battles in the last decade. - Right on Campbell! for Fortunately hockey, though, it looks like Campbell will have the last word. He has warned Schultz that he will be suspended for one, then two, then three games and so on for each time he gets involved in an overly rough fight. Campbell deserves high praise for this action. This type of cumulative punishment is needed to keep hockey players’ hands on their sticks instead of on each other. the Hopefully, commissioner will extend this penalty to other NHL rowdies. What about the fans? Tough. That’s what. The object of hockey is not to pull someone’s jersey over his eyes or to knock out whatever teeth he may have left in his mouth. Anyone who thinks otherwise is not a true hockey fan. There’s nothing wrong with a good fight occasionally, but the rash of ejections, increased and penalties, suspensions fight-associated injuries in recent years can only destroy the players’ physical health and the games’ fan appeal. No. 1 from page 24— perfect place to live. living ideal In visualizing conditions, people most often took into account the size and kind of community, the pace of life, the availability of nature and satisfying interpersonal relationships. At the same time, most wanted incompatible things. “For example,” said Mailbrath, “most people would like to have the beauty, quiet and slower pace of life,, of a rural area. But they said they’d like to have those conditions close to a larger city so they could take advantage of big-city offerings such as theaters, museums, restaurants and sports — Clarence Commissioner, Campbell, toughened the penalties and fines for fighting. But the wars raged on as furiously as ever. Dave Schultz stepped up his roughhousing this year, even though it meant increased penalty time and decreased effectiveness on the ice. He was even suspended by Campbell for several games, to yet his violence continues the delight of Flyer fans.

No. 61 SpECTI\UM State University of New York at Buffalo Wednesday, 26 February 1975 Election forum: SC ATE, commuters and sports by Clem Colucci Special Features Editor Student Association (SA) candidates squared off Monday in Haas Lounge in an election forum designed to give the students a chance to hear the candidates debate. Spokespersons for each party addressed the sparse crowd, rebutted their opponents’ statements, and answered questions. Michele Smith, Presidential candidate the Changes ticket spoke first. She pointed to the experience and expertise of people on her ticket. “A lot of us were involved in a lot of things this year,” Ms. Smith said. She castigated SA’s inaction on many issues: the time for adding courses was cut, room rent will be raised, required courses are being considered for freshman. “A lot of changes are going to occur at this University, and they’re changes for the worse,” Ms. Smith surmised. on She listed her party’s priorities, promising a revised SCATE (Student Course and Teacher Evaluation) by November. At the State University at Binghamton, the Student Association listed the seven worst teachers and now not one of them is teaching at the undergraduate level. “That is student power,” Ms. Smith said. Commuter aid She said the University was too dorm-oriented and her administration would provide services for commuters, including a 25 cent bus fare on NFTA (Niagara Frontier Transit Authority) buses. “This can be accomplished; it’s not an empty promise.”She summed up her party’s theme: “We’ve performed in the past, we can perform in the future.” Michael Levinson, Presidential cnadidate and sole member of the Indian Party, said, “We have three-quarters of a million dollars in activity fees and nothing happens here.” Outlining his program, Mr. Levinson would replace the current SA constitution with a course Government In Action that he would teach. Students in this course would work on different projects for academic credit. “Join the ruling class,” Mr. Levinson said. “The course is open.” He also proposed a food co-op for the first floor in Norton that would eventually — — be a superceded by World-Wide Supermarket on the Amherst campus open 24 hours a day. Students could escape the restrictions on mandatory fee guidelines by opening a student (stewdent) savings and loan association. The 34 year old sophomore also said he would revamp Sub-Board, changing the name to the Ishi-Kaballa College of Musical Knowledge and appointing Buckminster Fuller and Marshall McLuhan as honorary directors at $500 per diem salary and travel expenses. Mr. Levinson sopke of making the State University at Buffalo into a school with a world-wide reputation by his long-term projects and mentioned that he had signed a contract with Amherst cablevision (channel 5) to sing portions of his “Deuteronomy,” poem dusk-to-dawn which he eventually hopes to sing with the entire world watching. Smoke gets in your eyes Ira Kaplan, Vice Presidential Candidate of the Sunshine Party, gained notice by lighting a joint and passing it around during his talk. This reporter verified the authenticity of the alleged joint. Mr. Kaplan denounced Robert’s Rules of Order and said the past several student governments wanted everyone “to be orderly and do some pretty things.” He compared SA’s usual concerns with his tenure as a blackboard monitor. Mr. Kaplan said most discussion in the Student Assembly was on the level of “talking about how we can keep our erasers clean.” Steve Milligram, Presidential candidate of Rehibition/Student Government in Exile, said: “There’s a lot of cheap shit going on at this school.” He defined his ticket’s stance as anti-establishment, anti-administration, and anti-faculty. He turned part of his time over to the party’s candidate for Vice President for Sub-Board I, Inc., Drew Presberg. Mr. Presberg backed off slightly from the “party ideology” and discussed issues relating to Sub-Board. He cited ' the problems of Health Care and Scholastic Housing and said he would “fight like hell” to get the land held by FSA and Sub-Board sold so the interest on the estimated $2,000,000 that would result from the sale could go to Health Care and housing needs. —continued on page 6— New state financing guidelines may threaten construction here by Laura Bartlett Staff Writer Spectrum At least six construction projects planned for the North Campus could be threatened if the State Legislature adopts a proposal by Comptroller Arthur Levitt to impose a ceiling of $2 billion on the purchase of bonds to finance new capital construction throughout the State University of New York (SUNY). All construction in the SUNY system is funded by these bonds, which are financed by tuition monies collected at state colleges and universities. No tax dollars are used for construction. Major building projects such as the Albany Mall are also funded in this manner. Hardest hit would be emerging campuses at Purchase, Old Westbury and Utica-Rome, according to a spokesman for the Student Association of the State University of New York (SASU). He explained that these schools have presently been allocated funds only for the completion of one or two more buildings. Comment reserved John Telfer, vice president for Faculties Planning, declined comment because no specific legislation has yet been submitted to the legislature by Comptroller Levitt. But Mr. Telfer said SUNY has shown itself to be a “solid basis for bonding” in the past. A State Assembly spokesman also commented that SUNY has shown itself to be reliable and deserving of “good credit.” Comptroller Levitt has reportedly considered action of this nature for several years, and now appears ready to present his proposal to the legislature. He could not be reached in his Albany office for comment Monday. The SUNY budget for the coming fiscal year, recommended by Gov. Hugh Carey, allocated only 37 percent of the funds requested for Amherst construction. But the cut will not affect the construction schedule, according to a SUNY spokesman. “A lot of the cuts aren’t as bad as they look,” Dr. Neal said. “Some of the funds requested are re-allocations, and the Millersport Highway relocation project, $10 million by itself, was rejected but sent to the Department of Transportation. So it’s still getting done.” State legislatore G. James Fremming (D., Amherst) recently urged Gov. Carey to “speed up” construction at Amherst to beat inflation and the rising costs of construction. In a letter to Mr. Carey, Mr. Fremming discussed other benefits of quick completion of the North Campus, such as saving the $450,000 a year spent on busing students among the three campuses, and the $2.5 million yearly to rent temporary classrooms; an improved atmosphere, more conducive to learning; and possible part-time employment for area students. He also supported requesting additional funds needed for the concentrated construction from the State’s supplemental budget, to be adopted after the regular budget for the 1975-76 fiscal year is approved. Rejuvenation seen A spokesman for Mr. Fremming said the legislator believes his proposal will help “rejuvenate the economy” in Western New York and help allieviate the 25 percent in the area. The SASU spokesman, when asked about the 10-year lag in construction at the Amherst campus, and the threat of more delay if Comptroller Levitt’s proposal is passed, said: “We know what’s been happening in Buffalo, and we’re of course concerned about it, but the situation facing other places is much worse. There are students at the State University of New York at Utica-Rome but no buildings. Ground hasn’t been broken even for one structure.

There is a growing concern among college administrators that academic dishonesty is running rampant. They may be right. According to the Washington Post, nationally, rising to be “Cheating appears particularly in large public universities.” And although a 1964 survey found that schools which employ the honor system have the least amount of cheating, eleven years later, colleges which do employ the honor code have found that upwards of one-third of each class cheat. An outbreak of cheating has attacked a number of campuses. A special committee to study the honor code has been set up to deal with increased cheating at the University ofCalifornia at Davis. The law center at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. has gone so far as to revoke a law degree because of a cheating incident there and an F was given to another law student after a cut and paste job of plagiarism on a seminar paper.” The University of Florida’s honor court is presently dealing with an organized cheating ring involving 200 students and every department in the - College of Business Administration.

The system of grading is so subjective that it doesn’t mean anything,” Nisenholtz went on to say. Motives “Like it or not, grades do matter,” commented Edward M. White, a professor at Cal State-San Bernardino. “Remember the draft and that the lower rates for driving insurance go to A and B students.” Most psychologists and school officials have agreed that the roots of cheating are in the elementary school system. A 1970 study by Leroy Barney revealed that 70 percent of all grade school children cheat. The study that children cheat to hide their found misunderstanding of the assignment, to prevent others from thinking they are stupid or to escape from trying to live up to unrealistic expectations. This trend is seen throughout the continuing educational careers of students, the study showed. A New York Times survey has found that this fearful obsession with grades has led to students sabotaging the work of others to improve their class standing. The survey also showed that students feel their grade equals their personal net worth. Ironically, the net worth of the grade itself has the recent been declining. Grade inflation employers to B’s has led of A’s and abundance resort to old job qualification standards. “Better a Princeton A than an A from a less familiar school,” said one admissions officer. Most piecemeal solutions to the present grading/cheating problem have met with limited success. Although the pass-fail system has been initiated at many colleges, it has come under attack because of some recent studies that claimed graduate and professional schools looked down on a transcript - - laden with 'pass’ grades. Some have said that one strategy might be to let grade inflation run its course. If grades become an ineffective means of evaluation, then a new system would have to be designed, they have reasoned. Educator William Glasser, author of Schools Without Failure, argued that the ultimate solution to cheating would be “a grading system which would not rate students against each other, thus eliminating the psychological factor of failure.” By reducing the stress of competition, said Glasser, cheating would also decrease. If those who side with Glasser are right, cheating will not stop until the motivations for cheating are eliminated and the root of the problem attacked.

Substantial cutbacks in state funding may reduce teaching, research and staff positions at the University at Buffalo may be reduced, with a greater workload falling upon those who remain employed.

Parliamentary confusion passed proposal only after much The parliamentary confusion. The initial results of the vote were seven in favor of the proposal and five against. Despite the majority in favor. Dr. Ketter declared the amendment “not carried” because the total vote in favor (seven) was one short of the nuyority required by FSA by laws (eight of the 15 members). Faculty representative Chester Kiser and Association (CSEA) Civil Service Employee representative Ed Dudek were both absent from the meeting, and did not submit a proxy vote, so only 13 were cast. Dr. Ketter then explained that it would be “inappropriate” for him to vote because Roberts Rules of Parliamentary Procedure says the chairman may vote “only if it will make or break a tie.” • SA Executive Vice President Scott Salimando challenged Dr. Ketter’s interpretation of the parliamentary rule, citing another rule allowing the chairman to vote “if the result will effect the outcome” of the vote. After a few seconds of silence, Dr. Ketter accepted Mr. Salimando’s interpretation and voted in favor of the amendment. Absent Ed Doty, ESA treasurer, would not comment on the outcome of the vote. Despite his well-known opposition to increasing student membership on the ESA, he said in a telephone interview with The Spectrum Monday that because of his absence from the meeting, he was not familiar with the contents of the amendment. Copies of the amendment, however, were distributed to all members of the ESA by mail 10 days before the meeting. ESA Secretary Charles Balkin cast a negative vote in proxy for Mr. Doty. In other business, an amendment proposed by Graduate School Dean McAllister Hull to increase the majority necessary for passage of an amendment to the by laws from a simple majority to a two-thirds majority was defeated.

The suite h'ejongs to Nan Booton, head resident of Clinton Hall. She, along with a friend, Steve Lucev, her two children, ages 11 and 14, and another dorm resident, Warren Debaney, were the victims of the attack. Ms. Booton told Campus Security officers that two men, described as black, thin, one about 6 3 , the other about 5’7”, entered her suite through an unlocked door. Tied up They forced Ms. Booton and Mr. Lucev to lie on the bed and ties their hands together, then taking Mr. Lucev’s wallet and demanding Ms. Booton’s purse, which was not in the room. At this point, one of the children, who had been in an adjoining room watching television, entered the room and saw what was happening. He reportedly at first thought the scene was a prank, but quickly realized the truth and raced to Mr. Debaney’s room, down the hall, for assistance. Mr. Debaney was also bound and robbed upon entering Ms. Booton’s suite, and the two children were tied up as well. According to Campus Security, one of the victims then heard one of the intruders indicate a desire to “hurt someone,” asking threateningly, “Who should I shoot first?” His partner replied that they did not have enough bullets. No gun, however, was shown. After the men fled, Ms. Booton freed herself, locked her door, and called Campus Security, who were unable to apprehend the two men. An investigation is continuing, though, headed by Officer Charles Script.

Joel Hauser, committee spokesperson, said that non-UFW lettuce is used in salads and sandwiches by all Food Service units. Gallo wine, which is made by a company which has also refused to sign labor contracts with the UFW, is also served regularly in the Tiffin Room in Norton Union. About four weeks ago, according to Mr. Hauser, UFW supporters approached new Food Service Director Donald Hosie with a request that Food Service serve only UFW lettuce or a substitute, such as romaine. Mr. Hosie assured the group that the Food Service wholesaler was instructed to deliver only UFW lettuce when possible, Mr. Hauser said. The Food Service buyer soon discovered that the wholesaler never buys UFW lettuce, Mr. Hauser explained. Will replace lettuce Food 'flP- THIS SAT. NIGHT!!!

The support group will be carrying petitions around the dorms this week, and will also be leafletting dorm residents. In an interview with The Spectrum, Food Service buyer Gene Capellini confirmed the instruction to the wholesaler to supply only UFW lettuce whenever possible. He said that UFW-picked lettuce has been scarce because only 10 percent of all lettuce (grown by the Interharvest Corporation) is picked by UFW members. Bad weather cited He added that his wholesaler only sells lettuce graded U S. No. 1 by the Agriculture Department. Only a few days of bad weather in an area of California or Arizona may lower the grade of a crop, and thus make it too low for the local wholesaler to buy. The wholesaler claims he will buy any UFW lettuce available as long as it is U.S. No. 1. This may result in what seems like discrimination against UFW lettuce, Mr. Capellini-said, and may also account for Mr. Hauser’s belief that the wholesaler will not stock UFW lettuce.

What started off as the UUAB Community Relations Committee (CRC), a 24-member War On Poverty-type effort, has grown to include 2000 volunteers involved in various projects, task forces and research groups. In a decade, CAC has become the second largest community action volunteer group in the nation (behind the federal government’s ACTION program, which includes VISTA and the Peace Corps) and the only organization of its size that is totally student-run. 11 has received considerable praise from local officials, including a letter of commendation from the late Senator Robert Kennedy. The two dozen original volunteers worked in programs begun by other groups, most of .which dealt with problems of the ghetto, orphans and the aged. Part of SA In the fall of 1965, the Community Aid Corps was formetf as a special committee of the Student Association (SA). Although its status as a special committee theoretically gave its director a vote on the SA Executive Committee, this vote was never used and the group remained distinct from the rest of SA. During the 1966-67 school year, a major campaign of recruitment began with the first CAC-initiated programs. Among these was an education and recreation project for the Tonawanda Indian Reservation. Current CAC Director Dave Chavis has referred to these early projects as “bandaid services, patching up society’s problems.” In 1967-68, the organization stressed community aid and its own internal development. The programs in this period were designed to help the poor and culturally deprived.

By the fall, the program included about 250 volunteers in 13 projects, as well as three special sub-committees. About 1300 volunteers were involved at that time. By 1969-70, with student activism in full swing, the CAC’s volunteer rolls bulged to 1800. The academic year 1970-71, a pivotal one, saw the group’s name changed to Community Action Corps. Activities with political and social policy ramifications began to crop up. Two thousand students volunteered, a total which has held steady since. The Birth Control Clinic, along with other CAC Health Care Division (now the Sub-Board Health Division) projects was started. Drug-related services, like Terrace House, a county-run program for alcoholics, were also begun. Strong student interest continued the following year. Sunshine House, which had started as an independent entity, CAC as a desperation measure after its funds were suddenly eliminated. joined Action committee The Public Interest Research Group (P1RG) was started in Buffalo as a CAC project. The group has since become part of a state-wide parent organization, New York PIRG, and a major student group on its own. CAC at this time also started city services which may affect students, moderating its strict altruism, a hallmark of the earlier programs.

They have investigated local environmental problems, tried to set up tots’ lots (playgrounds for young children) around the city; begun the Buffalo Women’s Self-Help Clinic (since independent); tried to set up a CAC Day Camp for local children (which may actually go into operation this summer after coming close to reality last summer); helped students locate off-campus housing; and investigated revenue sharing, fair housing and community planning. Motivation down Mr. Chavis has noted a decline in the motivation of students who have come in contact with CAC, however. There is less of a feeling of commitment, he said, and more of an attitude of “What’s in it for me?” Where previous members would become involved to promote constructive change and broaden their education, these idealistic goals today are considered less important than getting into graduate scho'ol. But Mr. Chavis felt that the quality of CAC work has improved, even though the motivation of its students has lessened. Indicative of this improvement, according to Mr. Chavis, is that certain CAC members are regularly called in for consultation by social service organizations. While consultation between groups is not unusual, soliciting opinions from people without academic degrees is almost unheard of elsewhere. Many former CAC programs have been turned over to the community with former and current CAC members the leading activitsts in several areas. Groups which function with CAC support include the Buffalo Alternative Schools Coalition and Attica support groups. Support groups are limited to on-campus operations. Mr. Chavis urged all students to get involved in existing projects or to suggest new ones. He stressed that CAC is a non-elitist organization which welcomes everybody, and that talent and ideas are always needed. Student priority Health care is going strong by llene Dube Feature Editor In the space of two years, Sub-Board’s Health Care Division (HCD) has established a comprehensive health care program and developed the principle of preventive medical care on this campus. The Blood Assurance Program, Preventive Medicine Life Workshop, Health Resource Handbook and the Family Planning and Human Sexuality Clincis are only a few of the more well known programs. Currently in the planning stages is a student pharmacy, an extension of the dental clinic (which now exists as part of the Dental School), an emergency medical center, an X-ray lab, and an ambulatory service for the North Campus. These are low cost services available to all students. Number one priority To assure the maintenance and further growth of these services, most of this year’s candidates for Student Association have made comprehensive health services high priority.

Lisa Rosenthal, the party’s candidate for Student Affairs Director, rounded out the party’s presentation. She said she supported a third alternative to the newly-adopted SA constitution, a provision whereby students would tell where they wanted their fee money directed. (This provision was actually an alternative to the mandatory fee, not the Constitution.)

He ridiculed her call for a 25 cent far on NFTA buses, saying he had spoken to a publicity director at NFTA who allegedly told him that it would be impossible to reduce the fare “without Federal funds.” He ended up his speech: “If you want to waste your vote, vote for the Changes ticket.” Student Affairs Director candidate Dave Kautz barely had enough time to speak, but he emphasized the need for better planning on the Amherst campus. Peter Jarzyna of the Free Beer Party Local unemployment peaks by Ron Calabrese Spectrum Staff Writer Buffalo unemployment is at its peak, according the New York State Unemployment Insurance office (NYSUI). An economist for NYSUI revealed last week that Buffalo’s unemployment will peak during the first quarter of 1975, with most unemployment coming from auto, manufacturing, and construction industries, and would begin leveling off around mid-June. Official unemployment for December 1974 stood at 10.3 percent with a total of 56,600 persons out of work in Erie and Niagara Counties. NYSUI also projected unemployment for both counties in January, 1975 to endure a hefty 12.3 percent. NYSUI estimated, however, that Erie and Niagara Counties’ unemployment probably stands closer to an intolerable IS percent, because NYSUI does not keep , records of individuals whose unemployment checks have terminated: Location, fall-off of lake trade, and taxes are good reasons why to Welfare increase John Webster, Executive Assistant to the Commissioner at the Erie County Social Services Department, disclosed that there were 51,000 people on the county’s public assistance program at the end of January, an increase of 1385 over last year. Welfare partly occurs as a result of unemployment but “is indicative of the economy, and when the economy is down, you can expect welfare to go up,” according to William Gleason, Personnel Supervisor for Erie County Social Services. He indicated that the federal government has released $6,000,000 to create new jobs as part of the Compensation and Empire Training Act (CETA). “CETA has created a hell of a lot of jobs” that pay around $10,000 annually, Mr. Gleason said. The jobs deal with “things the city has been after for a long time, but have never gotten around to,” he added. Agencies Employment agencies have reported a slight to moderate increase in the number of applicants within the past year. Jcri King, Vice President of APA Employment Agency said locally owned and operated agency places most of its emphasis on professional jobs. “Our agency does little advertising and relies heavily upon referral applicants,” Ms. King indicated, adding that employment is a “buyer’s market” because the employer can take his pick from an overabundance of individuals to fill a Buffalo’s unemployment is well above the nation’s limited number of positions.

Esposito Contributing Editor A takeover of five City of Buffalo parks by Erie County has been proposed by Susan Libick, County Legislator from the 10th District. The parks involved in the plan are Cazenovia, Delaware, Schiller, Grover Cleveland (located across Bailey Avenue from the Main , Street Campus) and South Park. “The interests of the people of the county can best be served through the county’s assumption of operation, maintenance and improvement responsibilities for certain City of Buffalo parks,” wrote Ms. Lubick and Raymond Gallagher, the Democratic Majority Leader of the County in Legislature, prepared a statement. The two legislators also feel “a transfer of responsibilities will allow for a more equitable sharing of the costs of upkeeping the parks since they are used by a region-wide clientele. believes Councilman Price there is a crucial question concerning residential housing on park land. He has opposed the conversion of Grover Cleveland Park to a private apartment complex, an issue still before the Common Council which Mr. Price described as “generally strongly opposed.” While he feels that low-income housing is a must for Buffalo, Mr. Price said local government cannot afford to eliminate any more green space. Twenty-three acres of city park land has been lost in the past two decades, he explained.

The Spectrum Page seven . • y v- �Endorsements shortcircuited A word of note; Over the past five years, many candidates that we supported have not fulfilled ours or most other people’s expectations once they got into office. Although SA has succeeded in dispensing a wide variety of services to students, it has yet to prove itself an effective government. Accordingly, we believe the only way to make student government truly effective would be to have an issue that hundreds, maybe thousands of students can rally behind, coupled with a student government President with extra ordinary amounts of charisma and vision. No such person or issue currently exists. Student Association may well remain impo tent, unresponsive to student needs, and a haven for status-seekers rather than an organization where people with ideas and leadership can bring student influence to bear on the University decision-making pro cess. In making the following endorsements, we are aware of the flaws and inequities of any one organization on campus having too much influence over the outcome of an election. Nevertheless, because of an almost invisible election process, we have endorsed candidates who we feel will work long hours to restore a student voice on campus, even if that goal remains an illusory one. At the very least, we hope to discourage students from voting for candidates whose insensitivity, elitism and lack of knowledge would be catastrophic if they were given a mandate to serve in SA. President: Michele Smith Michele Smith has the leadership ability, ideas and concern for students that will make her an effective SA President. Ms. Smith believes that a President should play an important role in shaping the philosophy of the entire government; unlike Frank Jackalone, whose penchant for compromise made this year's SA generally void of direc tion, she knows how to be self-assertive and is not afraid of angering those who disagree with her if she believes it will be in the interests of students. As director of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NVPIRG) of Buf falo (formerly WNVPIRG) two years ago, Ms. Smith orchestrated projects designed to putting acquaint the public with the facts idea that Nader into practice the Ralph be thrive on and can ignorance bureaucracies .— by getting out as much infor- mation as possible. Several of this year's SA officers wrongly believed that student interests would best be served if certain policy discussions were kept confidential until substantial progress was made; in their view, acquainting students with an issue while it was in the "delicate negotiation" stage would ultimately be detrimental. Ms. Smith realizes that this policy is ill-conceived and inadvertently elitist; she would broaden the base of student involve ment by shaping her administration around the philosophy of "getting the information out." SA will "build respect only by build ing student expertise," she claims. In academics, one of the many areas where she plans to build such expertise, Ms. Smith has wisely made the Student Course and Teacher Evaluations (SCATE) her number one priority. By publishing comprehensive but reliable resumes on every teacher at the University, SA will help every student determine which instructors to stay away from and obtain input into tenure and promotion decisions even if they remain legally excluded from them. Ms. Smith eventually hopes to use the SCATE as a "tradeoff" with faculty for other concessions. In the area of athletics, Ms. Smith said she would negotiate directly with the newly-formed Students for the Future of Athletics. To determine whether money is being spent in the most efficient way possible, she would authorize an investigation of the entire athletic budget, including intramurals and recreation. At the same time, Ms. Smith would aggressively seek outside funding for athletics by organizing massive lobbying efforts with state legislators, alumni and other possible sources of funding. Evidence of Ms. Smith's desire to include, rather than exclude students from SA can be seen in the work she has done over the past year for commuter students. As National Affairs coordinator of this year's SA, traditionally a do-nothing job, she con ceived and organized the Commuter Council. Under its aegis, significant numbers of commuters became actively involved in University activities for the first time. Among the Council's projects were attempts to implement a $.25 bus fare for students and establish a preferred-parking plan for car pools where those with three or more people in their car would be given special consideration. The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. 61 Editor-in-Chief Managing Editor L.my Because she has an assertive personality, a distaste for excluding from students information which concerns them, and a refreshing, consumer advocate approach to dealing with administrators and faculty, Michele Smith is by far the most qualified candidate for SA President. John Sullivan is at best a poor choice for SA President. Mr. Sullivan has little imagination, few ideas, no proven leadership ability, and is extremely naive about how to go abput garnering input into academic de cision-making. When asked how he would defend the four-course load, he said he would go to court and try to prove that a change from the four course system was "illegal." Mr. Sullivan incorrectly believes that personal, one-to-one diplomacy is all that is needed to influence bodies like the F acuity Senate and Administration; he thinks the best way of uniting students would be to have more parties and beer blasts. Mr. Sullivan is currently President of the Millard Fillmore College Student Association (MFCSA). Because he is running for SA President even though his term as MFCSA President does not expire until May, we can only conclude that his ambitions are somewhat opportunistic. Steve Milligram, presidential candidate of the Rehibition party, believes he would personally be able to rally thousands of students around any issue, and if necessary, "close down the school." Unfortunately, he did not know what the issues were, and lacks the kind of personality needed to inspire fellow officers, let alone the student - body at large. Michael Levinson, candidate of the Indian party, detests the current bureaucratic structure of SA. While some of his ideas a food co-op for the first floor of Norton Hall and a stew-dent Savings and Loan Association are worthy of consideration, we believe his main purpose in running for office to increase his chances of singing portions of his dusk-to-dawn poem "Deuteronomy" to a worldwide television audience have nothing to do with student government. If he is not elected, we hope Mr. Levinson will not be discouraged from con— — - — tinuing his work. The candidate for President on the Free has a dictaBeer party Peter Jarzyna torial, Louis XIV attitude about student government. The consummate elitist, he said that his personal opinions always would take precedence over the wishes of the Student Senate, even if the Senate voted overwhelmingly in favor of something he opposed. If elected, Mr. Jarzyna said he would cut the budgets of NYPIRG, CAC and minority organizations by 25 percent. We believe that — — Mr. Jarzyna's political views would be put to better use in an extremist organization. Executive Vice Art Lalonde President: Art Lalonde is, without a doubt, one of the best candidates to run for SA office in years. Running on the same ticket as Michele Smith, Mr. Lalonde also believes in being "armed with facts." His warm yet decisive personality make him a natural leader; as a project oriented member of NYPIRG, Mr. Lalonde has been able to inspire students to go out and research important issues. It is this talent which will make him an effective chairman of the Student Senate. Mr. Lalonde is acutely aware of the Student Assembly's failure to represent students and voice its opinion in the decisionmaking process; he believes that the newer Senate will have to "make its reputation through strong action during the first three months" and feels the best way to get people involved "is to give them responsibility" In contrast to Scott Salimando, whose sometimes abrasive manner marred an otherwise competent job as chairman of the Student Assembly, Mr. Lalonde's rapport with people will enable him to fill up the maze of committees and task forces manda ted by the new constitution, and work closely with fellow officers in shaping a cohesive direction for SA. Mr. Lalonde also attributes the failure of past SA's to the fact that the officers have spent most of their time in Norton Hall, and would encourage them to have a lot more personal contact with the student body. For all these reasons, Art Lalonde is highly qualified to beExecutive.Vice President, and deserves the support of students in today's election. Although Dave Sites is sincere in his desire to get involved in student govern ment, we do not feel he has had quite enough leadership experience to serve as Executive Vice President. Mr. Sites' dedication and earnestness can still make a valuable contribution to SA, and we would hope that he stays involved in some capacity. Vice President for Sub-Board Drew Pres berg or Bruce Campbell Both Drew Presberg and Bruce Campbell are well qualified to be SA Vice President for Sub-Board. Mr. Presberg is extremely knowledgable about Sub-Board; he has been actively involved in Scholastic Housing, Inc., and joined University District Councilman Bill Price in the fight against absentee landlords.

It should also be noted that The Spectrum is endorsing two candidates for the positions of Vice-President for Sub-Board and Director of Student Activities and Services. A O/. IA RhIIIB./Sn (. I T. in h \l scorn /•«//, HhhR /AO/.'/’/AOi �Mr. Jarzyna's political views would be put to better use in an extremist organization. Executive Vice President: Art Lalonde Art Lalonde is, without a doubt, one of the best candidates to run for SA office in years. Running on the same ticket as Michele Smith, Mr. Lalonde also believes in being "armed with facts." His warm yet decisive personality make him a natural leader; as a project-oriented member of NYPIRG, Mr. Lalonde has been able to inspire students to go out and research important issues. It is this talent which will make him an effective chairman of the Student Senate. Mr. Lalonde is acutely aware of the Student Assembly's failure to represent students and voice its opinion in the decisionmaking process; he believes that the newer Senate will have to "make its reputation through strong action during the first three months" and feels the best way to get people involved "is to give them responsibility." In contrast to Scott Salimando, whose students, Mr. Presberg would like to curtail wasteful expenditures and see Sub-Board expand its services and move further in the direction of becoming income-offset. Having UUAB co-sponsor concerts with Buffaloarea promoters, he claims, would be one way of making spending more efficient. Mr. Presberg's proven persistence would give undergraduates a stronger voice on both Sub-Board and the Faculty-Student Associa tion (FSA). The other candidate, Bruce Campbell, is equally qualified. His successful tenure as treasurer of the Birth Control Clinic would enable him to do an effective job as SubBoard treasurer. Mr. Campbell agrees with his opponent that money can be saved by co-sponsoring concerts, and plans to invest! gate the needs of the North Campus, particularly in the area of Health Care. By virtue of his excellent rapport with people and his extensive business experience, Mr. Campbell would also give students a solid voice on Sub-Board and FSA. Jim Smith, the third candidate for Sub Board Vice President, has done a good job as Inter-Residence Council (IRC) Vice President for Activities Planning and has a lot of business experience. However, we feel he has fewer concrete ideas than the other two candidates, and would be less zealous in siding with students against the administra tion. The final candidate for Sub-Board Vice President, Harold Besmanoff of the Free Beer party, shares many of his running mate's ideas, and should therefore be disqualified from consideration. sometimes abrasive manner marred an otherwise competent job as chairman of the Student Assembly, Mr. Lalonde's rapport with people will enable him to fill up the maze of committees and task forces mandated by the new constitution, and work closely with fellow officers in shaping a cohesive direction for SA. Mr. Lalonde also attributes the failure of past SA's to the fact that the officers have spent most of their time in Norton Halt, and would encourage them to have a lot more personal contact Treasurer: Abdull Wahaab with the student body.

Director of Student Affairs: Steven Schwartz Experience, ideas and a warm personality make Steven Schwartz the best candidate for Director of Student Affairs. Mr. Schwartz has chalked up an impressive amount of experience in student government as a member of the IRC Executive Committee and the Student Assembly; he has helped investigate Food Service, worked on SCATE, and been extremely active in the Commuter Council. Realizing the importance of acquainting new students with the University, Mr. Schwartz hopes to expand the scope of activities at summer orientation. He plans to publish an insider's guide to Buffalo, set up orientations with the Athletic Department and with IRC and hold special mixers for freshmen and transfer students. Mr. Schwartz agrees with his running mates, Michele Smith and Art Lalonde, that defending the interests of students necessitates informing as many as possible about policy discussions. He will use this philosophy to defend the interests of students on both campuses. Of the other candidates, Dave Kautz is fairly knowledgable about the way the University works, but has few ideas about improving orientation and does not seem personable enough for the position. Lisa Rosenthal, while eager to become involved in SA, knew the least about the University, did not have many ideas, and would be afraid to confront the administration. Director of Academic Affairs Dave Shapiro While by no means an outstanding candidate, Dave Shapiro would do a competent Vice President for Sub-Board I T reasu rer Director of Academic Affairs Director of Student Activ, A Services capacity. It is unfortunate that only one student in the entire Univeristy, Dave Shapiro, was concerned enough about academics to file a petition for the post of Director of Academic Affairs. At a time when the Administration is making an active attempt to obliterate every academic innovation that came out of the late sixties, students need representa- tives willing to defend the quality of their' educations against great odds. Continued display of this kind of apathy will only serve as fuel for further regression. Director of Student Activities and Services Doug Cohen or-Judi Young Both candidates for Director of Student Doug Cohen and Activities and Services Judi Young are qualified for the position. Either one has had a lot of experience, and would work hard to improve interaction between clubs and organizations. — — Editor's Note: These endorsements were made after extensive interviews with almost all of the candidates by a unanimous consensus of The Spectrum's Campus Editors, Special Features Editor, Managing Editors and Editor-in Chief.

Aware of how students have been virtually closed out of academic decision-making, Mr. Shapiro would work hard to publish an effective SCATE, fill student vacancies on FacultySenate Committees, and continue trying to organize grass roots student support at the departmental level. Mr. Shapiro believes that the current DUE advisement system must be improved, favoring a system whereby first and secondyear students would have centralized advisors, while juniors and seniors would seek counsel from faculty advisors. If necessary, he would support getting rid of incompetent DUE advisors. Although he did not have many new ideas, Mr. Shapiro knows his way around the University, is hard-working and would represent students as well as any Academic Affairs Coordinator of the past four years. Gene lola, the only other student running for Academic Affairs and a write-in candidate, transferred here in January, and has not had enough time to become familiar with academics. Mr. lola is sincere in his desire to get involved, but two months at the University is simply not enough time to become familiar with important issues, even though he has the kind of aggresiveness personality that the position requires.

Carol Block, candidate for Treasurer on the Changes party, has acquired a great deal of fiscal experience as treasurer of the Community Action Corps. Although she would probably do a competent job as SA Treasurer, we feel that Mr. Wahaab's personal qualifications will make it easier for him to deal with scores of interest groups fighting tooth and nail at budget time.

My underlying theme fpr this campaign is my knowledge of bureaucractic financing and cost-cutting. 1 will therefore apply myself primarily towards these goals. Do you forsee you job as keeping the SA books and facilitating the budgeting of student fees or as making policy? If it is the latter, what are your budgetary priorities? If you were Treasurer this year, how would you have handled a $100,000 deficit? It is almost inpossible to separate the making of policies or balancing of books in the position of Treasurer. Both are somewhat interrelated, making it difficult to make one work without the other. As I see it, the basic function of Treasurer is that of an economic advisor. Therefore, policy decisions would not affect my judgement; 1 will be primarily concerned with implementing the Financial Assembly’s policy decisions as fairly as possible. 1 can honestly say that I will support programs which I feel will benefit this campus as a whole, but my decisions will be based only on non-partisan judgement and economic circumstances. Responsibility for efficiently managing $800,000 is not beyond my realm of experience. 1 have supervised the . This is a common problem in government finance. To deal with this situation one must regulate both input and output. In terms of this campus, my office is not able to control input as it does output. My only possible decision in this matter would be to make an across-the-board cut in the budget of about 10 percent. I would then inform the involved organizations of the cut and advise a program that would deal with these cuts by increasing the input to the system, and simultaneously decreasing the output. Speculatively, this might involve a five percent increase in activity gate receipts and a similar decrease in personnel. How will you deal with pressure from special interest groups?

Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer Imagine a hockey team needing to sweep a two-game series at home to get its divisional playoffs. Imagine a team losing a two-goal advantage in the third period and then losing the game in overtime, 6-5. Now imagine both those things happening to the same team, and you’ve described Buffalo’s experience with Oswego State last Friday. Now imagine this same team the next night with another two-goal lead in the third period. Their fans are yelling goodbye to the opposition as the clock begins to tick off the last thirty seconds. Then imagine this team being scored on twice in the final 27 seconds, and again in overtime to lose 6-5 again. Believe it or not, you’ve just described Saturday night’s Buffalo-Oswego hockey game. On Friday night, the Bulls played solid hockey for two periods. Their defense was adequate and their passing and forechecking was better than average. After two periods, Buffalo led 4-2. - Third period blues Unfortunately for the Bulls, hockey games are three periods long, and the Great Lakers used that third period to undo everything that was done to them in the first two. Oswego’s star center Glen Sisman accounted in some way for all five of Oswego’s regulation time goals, scoring two and assisting on the others. For the Bulls, Rick Wolstenholme also scored two goals and did an outstanding job forechecking and helping out on defense. The game was relatively penalty-free, considering that the Bull-Laker contests have traditionally led more high sticking than high-scoring. Saturday’s game was very similar to Fridays’s, but with more drama and more violence. Again the Bulls outscored and outplayed the Lakers, but their two-goal lead this time seemed to breed overconfidence. Oswego again gained the momentum in the third session.

As is often the case in hockey, the fight inspired the Lakers as they launched a fearsome barrage of shots which finally netted them the tying goal with only a scant four seconds left on the clock. Penalties Penalties were a key factor in Saturday’s contest. Referee Paul Duffy called nine misconducts and ejected six players. However, the Bulls’ chronically deficient power play failed on numerous attempts, including a man up situation during the overtime. In fact, the Bulls’ power play managed only one goal net, even though Oswego players spent over 100 minutes in the sin bin. The Bulls did score three times with the man advantage, but their ragged defensive play allowed two short-handed goals as well. Paqe twelve jBg* KURDfKABltmjI . The Spectrum .

Coaches receiving bad vibes over proposed athletic cuts by Bruce Engel and Dave Hnath With all the screaming between the Student Association (SA) and the Students for the Future of Athletics (SFA) recently, one group that has remained silent so far is the professional staff the athletic coaches, whose jobs are on the line. It was only very recently that they informed SA of their opinion of the five sport proposal. Last week the coaching staff voted unanimously against SA’s proposal A, which would reduce the intercollegiate men’s program to five teams. Should the proposal pass the Student Assembly, it would come up for another vote of coaching personnel, and only coaching personnel, to decide what action, if any, the Department would take. The coaches are hoping for a solution to the problem that is more favorable to athletics. — Hear 0 Israel For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 — — Passport!Application Photos UNIVERSITY PHOTO 3SS Norton Hall Tues., Wed., Thurs.: 10 a.m.—5 p.m. 3 photos for t3 (t. 50 per additional\ Wait and see Although they are oh the record as opposing the five sport plan, the coaches would give no indication as to what they might do if it passes the Assembly. “We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it,” said baseball coach Bill Monkarsh. Several of the other coaches were a little more specific, but none of them would address the possibility of some form of strike. It seems the coaches are determined to take a united stand, and will not release or institute any official action until such time as they feel it is warranted. Considering SA’s five sport plan as one extreme and the status quo (this year’s budget plus an inflationary increase) as the other, some of the coaches alluded to the possibility of compromise. “There’s always room for compromise,” said Monkarsh, whose baseball team is protected by the five sport plan. “Each side has room for it,” he added. Golf coach Bill Dando, whose team would be cut by the five sport plan, would sooner have less of a program than no program at all. “It’s not what we want,” he said, “but I think we all have to make cuts down the line in order to survive.” Dando indicated that historically the smaller programs have generally been more successful than the larger ones. Control Swimming coach Bill Sanford is very concerned about losing the squad he has coached for 26 years. However, on the idea of compromise, he spoke more about control of the program, as opposed to specifically saving swimming. “There’s no such thing as a compromise,” he said. “We’re professionals and we should know how to run the program. The students are only here for four years and leave.” Leo Richardson, head coach of the protected basketball team, gives the impression that he has accepted all the cuts he cares to. “I don’t want a compromise,” he said. “Since they cut my budget in November, my stand is all or none.” Track coach Jim McDonough feels that all the bad vibrations about the athletic budget is bothering his athletes and is affecting their performances. “It’s starting to affect my men’s attitudes and morale.

Only you can make it stop ’There’s no such thing as a free lunch.” It’s a dull term, but something called the "public debt” has been piling up for years because our tax dollars haven’t come close to paying for all of the services and programs we’ve been demanding. In fact, just the annual interest charge on this debt recently hit a cool $29 billion. Nevertheless, many politicians say, "Relax, Unde Sam can simply print the money to cover the cost." Not so, as this story from The March Reader’s Digest makes clear. For with skyrocketing prices people stopped buying. And now we’ve got recession. How to get out of the mess? Read on... us. Government may print money, and other revenues. Last year we paid out $255.4 billion in federal taxes. Unfortunately, the government not only spent all this money; it kept right on spending, doling out $3.5 billion more than we gave it. And it has generally done the same for years—spending $66.8 billion more than income in the five years 1970 through 1974 alone. That is where the trouble starts when we, as electors, allow gov- ernment, often, for individually persuasive reasons, to spend dollars it doesn’t have. It goes into debt. Hut government and the average citizen go into debt under different rules. Government is the dominant borrower in the market, both from individuals (mainly through selling savings bonds) and by depositing lOUs with banks, then writing checks against them. Result: We taxpayers have to pay various banks and other lenders some $29 billion in yearly interest on the public debt. And that’s why we are in trouble. We pay all the government’s bills, and we bear the burden of those bills Page fourteen . adds ten ing out that secret tax that cents to a pound of bacon, $5 to a to an electric stove. pair of shoes, J20 Now this is the part of inflation that most of us don’t fully understand: How the government’s indebtedness pushes up the prices of the things we buy. It works this way: We can’t print money to cover our own debts. The federal government, however, can; through a complex procedure called “monetary policy,” the Federal Reserve creates dollars and transfers them to banks. The banks make loans from these new “assets.” Thus, money is “pumped into the economy”—money that was originally nothing more than the figures on a Federal Reserve check; soon more currency has to be printed to cover the new dollars. Many of these dollars originate through bank loans of various kinds. They find their way into the economy through various commercial transactions. But who has established the need for these new dollars in the first place? We have —through the many things we ask government to “do” for us; through loans and grants to businesses, schools, research groups; through “aid” programs of all kinds. Remember, most of these not been earned deficit by producing anything. They merely compete with our paycheck dollars for whatever goods and services we and others have produced. Result: The The Spectrum Wednesday, 26 February 1975 . Ever wonder why you feel poorer even though you’re probably male- i ing more money than your father ever dreamed of? You finally bought that house. You drive a nice car. Maybe you’re making payments on that boat you always wanted. But why did that new tile in the kitchen cost so much more than you expected?

Real wealth is the value of the goods and services produced by working men and women. It is their pay for making cars, houses, clothes, books, furniture and all the other myriad things we are accustomed to. Government depends upon this wealth that we create, and takes from each of us a portion of it through taxes THE “SECRET T\X” AMERICA CANT machine service call take your breath away P Why do expenses now seem exceed income? There is an easy one-word answer to all these questions— inflation. But do we really understand what inflation is, and why this “secret tax” keeps chipping away at our paychecks ? Many factors have exacerbated this dollar-dissolving inflation—the energy crisis, crop prices, excessive and ill-advised government regulation, wages outrunning productivity. But the basic cause of inflation is one that most Americans seem largely unaware of; spending money that hasn't been earned yet. In short, inflation is the creature of debt, and the most inflationary kind of debt is the one we —under our democratic system—are the most responsible for: the public debt. The officials we elect run up this debt to provide the loans, goods, services and programs that we have come to believe should be “paid for by government.” We forget, of course, that “paid for by government” means paid for by to • ADVERTISEMENT oldest of economic laws takes effect. With more money around than available goods, prices rise—and inffation is upon us. Okay. Everybody talks about it. Almost everybody feels it. But what can we do about it ? Ortainly, increased productivity each of us producing more for the dollars we earn —is one of the most effective counters to inflation. Many businesses and dedicated workers have performed amazing feats of productivity, enabling them to increase their wages and profits while cutting the price of'their products to remain competitive.* But productivity increases cannot indefinitely make up for the steady cheapening of the dollar brought on by the government indulging legislative whims with more “thin air" money. It’s time for some tough decisions in Washington. Decisions that will not be made unless citizens — — businessmen, farmers, workers, housewives. pensioners—demand them and are willing to accept the sacrifices that must be made. Particularly in times such as these, no one would deny the use of federal resources to take care of the truly needy. And to alleviate the rigors of recession, job programs and other relief may well be essential. Rut with additional costs, it is even more imperative that the rest of the budget be kept under control so we do not wind up compounding the inflation which brought about the recession in the first-place. '>,lf expect government to cut however, we must all ctfpfottr expectations of government. Businessmen seeking special treatment to pull them out of a hole dug by their own inefficiency must make do with their own resourcefulness. Special-interest groups must stop we and consider the overall effects of their requests upon government, and thus upon inflation. Citizens must realize that government installations may close in their area. Because the money is not available, certain nonessential programs may have to be delayed or even discarded. Wc, all of us, are trying to hold the line on spending at home, and we should expect government to do the same. We only fool ourselves if wc think real progress can be made without getting the government’s fiscal engine back in tune. And remember, we are the government. That’s why we can do something about inflation —if wc have the sense to discipline ourselves and the ingenuity to get more out of the considerable human and material resources we already have.

No. 60 Monday, 24 February 1975 State University of New York at Buffalo Protests may materialize State legislature expectecL to increase dormitory rates by Laura Bartlett Staff Writer among the most severely affected by the downturn in the economy,” Mr. Kohane continued. State University (SUNY) Chancellor Ernest Boyer told the State Senate Finance and Assembly Ways and Means Committees last week that there might have to be a “slight [upward] modification in dormitory rates” to compensate for the $3.5 million discrepancy between the dormitory revenues projected by SUNY, and the amount projected by state officials. State University and the State Division of the Budget are presently investigating the discrepancy. Students from a number of SUNY colleges and universities are expected to picket the Board of Trustees meeting in Albany tomorrow to voice opposition to any dormitory rate increase. Decrease enrollments In the past year, he explained, dormitory overcrowding has in some cases forced three students to live in rooms designed for two. The Division of the Budget expects an even higher occupancy rate in the coming year, he said. This will not be a problem at this University because virtually all of the new dormitory facilities on the North Campus will be ready for occuppncy next year, according to Cliff Wilson, assistant director of University Housing. “However, we don’t expect to be full,” he added. Mr. Kohane pointed out that in the past, increased costs to students have resulted in reduced enrollments. The National Commission of the Financing of Postsecondary Education reported that for every $100 increase in cost, there is an average decrease in enrollment of 2.5 percent. In cases where costs have been lowered, the enrollment has jumped as much as 12.2 percent. He said this same trend is evident in Stale University, where the percentage of high school graduates enrolling in SUNY has dropped to 68 percent in 1973, after a 1970 high of 71 percent. Spectrum State’s burden In a statement last week to the legislative committees, SASU President Dan Kohane said a rent Effectively subverted Summing up his attack on the proposed hike. Mr. Kohane asserted that the purposes of state-funded education to make learning available to all, regardless of their financial situation “could be effectively subverted" if the increases took effect. He added that cuts “expedient in the short run” could be “disastrous in the long run." and that the budget discrepancy should be alleviated with state funds rather than a rise in student costs. “Although 1 would like to see dorm costs stay the same or go down. I’m concerned about the services custodial, food service, health service, etc. which are already operating at a bare minimum,” said Inter-Residence Council (IRC) President Leigh Weber. “If it had to be a choice between cutting these services back, or a hike in rent costs, I’d have to go along with it (the rent hike] reluctantly.” Mr. Wilson said a tuition hike would “probably be fairer in the long run” than the dorm rent raise because it would spread the increased financial burden Jo more than just resident students. But he added jmat he wouldn’t be surprised to see an increase in both. - — — — Ernest Boyer hike would be “no different than a tuition hike.” It makes little difference where or in what category a discrepancy in figures has occurred because both the tuition and room rent come out of one basket student’s pocket, and go into one basket, the University Income Fund. “I firmly believe in Governor Carey’s campaign assertion that the state, not the students, must hear the burden of financing higher education in these days of inflation and higher costs.” The Board of Trustees had expressed opposition to any tuition — increase Mr. Kohane criticized the contention that a dorm rate increase is justified because of a rise in the cost of living. He said unemployment among teenagers is more than twice the national average, and that the summer levels might be higher than the present 18.3 percent. “A rent hike would hack away ruthlessly at a mostly young people already class of peo’ple — — Less experimentation The proposed dorm hike has not prevented other cuts In the SUNY budget recommended by the Governor such as allocations for the Equal Opportunity Program (EOP), Aid to the Disadvantaged and Regents Scholarships. Tuition Assistance Program funds have increased, however, and state officials claim that would “fill the vacuum” created by cuts in EOP. Funding was also slashed for agricultural and energy projects, as were allocations for emerging state colleges at Purchase, Old Westbury and Utica-Rome. These new colleges have been allocated enough money to operate and continue to develop, but the great increase in their faculty-student ratios will be the “end of the experimental, innovative ideals on which these institutions were based,” according to Mr. Kohane. it \ Labor unions fighting the industrial polluters Editor's note: The following is the last of a three-part series on air pollution and health. It explores recent efforts to fight the and pollution-makers plan long-range solutions. according to a report published in the OCAW newspaper, Union News. Last August, Allied Chemical reported that 19 of the 55 workers exposed to inorganic arsenic in its Baltimore plant died by Paul Krehbiel of cancer. Contributing Editor Crimes been the most severely affected by air pollution, industrial workers, with the help of union leaders, lawyers and khentists have traditionally led the fight against this deadly Because they have menace. The Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers, (OCAW) AFL-CIO and United Steelworkers recently filed a petition with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration calling for strict pollution standards for an estimated 1.5 million workers threatened on the job by cancer-producing inorganic arsenic. Produced during copper smelting, inorganic arsenic is used in a wide range of industrial and work. A Dow agricultural Chemical Company plant in Midland, Michigan, which used arsenic several years ago, recently revealed that 32.9 percent of its employees died of cancer, The industrial pollution that spreads disease often violates state and federal laws, but “escapes inclusion in the crime statistics,” Ralph Nader charged in Vanishing Air. When action is taken to force a company to comply with the laws, the companies often use “industrial extortion,” threatening to close shop and move out of town, leaving thousands unemployed, Mr. Nader explained. The giant steel conglomerate, Bethlehem Steel, has used this tactic throughout the late 1960’s and early 1970’s to avoid cleaning up the dangerous mess that they have made on the Niagara Frontier. Many companies have initiated relations public campaigns which extol their efforts to clean up the environment, but Mr. Nader claims that little has changed. —continued on page 2 �Newspapers caught in crunch 1974 and one in 1975. Vance Stickall, Vice President for Sales of The Los Angeles two rate increases in by Steven Kolodny Spectrum Staff Writer The nation’s newspapers are tightening their belts to cope with spiraling production and material costs by introducing newer formats and money-saving production practices. The cost of newspring has risen dramatically in recent years. Western New York Offset Press, a major supplier in this area, sells newsprint for $244 a ton, $94 more than three years ago. Similar price increases have been reported for ink, photographic supplies and labor costs. The newspaper industry has responded to these increases by increasing advertising rates, increasing their sales price, and cutting costs through modifications in paper size, columns per page, improved layout techniques, and using cheaper materials. The last of these is most attractive, because of the current economic crunch, which has reduced the funds available for both advertising and the purchase of papers. The Spectrum lives Despite higher operating costs, The Spectrum has managed to keep going because of increased off-campus advertising. Ad sales have been so successful that the campus publication has not raised advertising rates in five years. However, most newspapers have had to raise their rates. The Buffalo Evening News for example, raised the price of a quarter-page ad to $493, up $50 from last year. Although The Los Angeles Times switched to a six column format, it retained the eight column format for advertising pages because the paper had , Pollution Times said “We just didn’t think our salesmen were good enough to carry off three rate increases and 33 percent increase with a six-column ad format.” Many large newspapers are switching to a slightly narrower page, which, though hardly noticeable to the reader, results in substantially reduced paper costs. The six-column page is becoming more widely used since it is easier to compose and to read, but does not require any more paper than the eight-column format. The New York Times is considering this change. Cheaper paper Lighter, cheaper paper is also being used. Newsprint is sold by weight, and the more pages per ton of paper, the less expensive it becomes. The Spectrum is printed on 22-lb. paper, lighter than most newspapers, which are printed on 30-lb. paper. Many newspapers are either cutting down on the size of their staff, instituting job freezes, or trimming the expense of gathering news. The Washington Star-News has . placed 50 employees on a four-day week wiht only four days pay. The least desireabie alternative for increasing revenues has been increasing the newsstand price. This often depresses sales, and advertising revenues, since potential advertisers are not willing to pay high rates for a smaller readership. When The Wall Street Journal raised its price a nickel to 25 cents last week, it cited increased newsprint cost (up 15 percent over last year), and postage (up 36 percent) as particular reasons for the increase. A spokesman for The Journal said it is too soon to determine what effect the price increase will have. —continued • • from workers, scientists, doctors and social activists to work together to stop this deadly killer.

Hearing aid dealers merit PIRG probe Fraudulent practices” by many hearing aid dealers has prompted the Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) at the State University of Albany to formulate a bill to curb such abuses. Presently, there are no laws in. New York State regulating hearing aid dealers. Besides calling for mandatory of all hearing aid dealers, the bill would prohibit dispensing aids without hearing prior examination by an audiologist or otolaryngologist. It also would establish a review board consisting audiologists of and dealers, licensing otolaryngologists. controversy was first in 1968 by Consumer Reports. Subsequent investigations included Ralph The Queens College PIRG report on hearing aid sales and practices in Queens found that even those hearing aid dealers who have received training took only a 20 week home course. A certified clinical audiologist, on the other hand, must complete a masters degree, or 60 credit-hours of post-graduate work in audiology, plus 300 hours of (finical work and nine months of full-time employment.

Improper conduct? Campus Security and gays discuss ‘harassment’ on BFO Spokesmen for both sides of the controversy surrounding Campus Security’s alleged harassment of gay males in Harriman and Crosby Hall exchanged views Friday afternoon on WBFO radio. Lee Griffin, assistant director of Campus Security once again asserted that “our whole out that “none of these students were ever charged” with improper conduct. The officers, Mr. Griffin said, had also reported that most students who used the Harriman men’s room used it the way most people use restrooms. He explained that about three or four prior complaints had been reported, including one from a Security Officer prior to the investigation. “When we have complaints from citizens, which indicate a violation of existing laws, it is our obligation to investigate them,” he said, adding that “the larger community also has the right to use the facility without being disturbed, for instance, by a note propositioning them.” to charges of entrapment, Mr. Griffin said he believes that no member of Campus Security would engage in this illegal activity. He indicated that “legal action would be taken against the officer involved” if the charges were true. Entrapment tactics, he insisted, “strayed way away from the guidelines which we had established.” Responding Charges valid But Mr. Weiss said the students’ charges of attempted entrapment, property damages, officers’ warnings not to return to a certain spot, and personal threats of arrest for government obstruction purpose is to discourage the use of toilet facilities by non-Univcrsity personnel who, upon their own admission, have no other reason for being here other than using the restroom as a meeting place for illegal sexual activities.” He said the two officers assigned to the detail, Chester Menkeiena and Glenn Gardner, were aware that students associated with the Gay Liberation movement also use that facility. Mr. Griffin pointed were all valid. “But even if all those charges were proven to be untrue, I would say that the two places where gay people are noted to meet have been unfairly staked out by Campus Security,” Mr. Weiss maintained. He said that innocent students, including himself, have been “arbitrarily stopped and asked for identification.” Mr. Weiss argued that general complaints do not warrant a “full scale” investigation. It is the “covert nature” of the investigation that is most offensive, he stressed, recommending that the “most overt action possible” (e g., use of uniformed officers) be taken. Mr. Griffin said it was necessary to assign officers full time to the Harriman men's room to prevent illegal incidents, rather than merely arrest people after they commit them. sFor Summer Look Promising Informed sources report that summer job opportunities for college students “look good” this year.

Sharon O’Farrell, a member of the Executive Committee, has asked for Mr. Sullivan’s resignation on the grounds that he, as a registered daytime undergraduate, is constitutionally barred from holding elective office in the MFCSA. Mr. Sullivan disputed Ms. O’Farrell’s charges and said her request that he resign was the result of a “personal vendetta’ and differences of opinion over funding of Sub-Board Health Care services. He also attributed the request to Ms. O’Farrell’s alleged frustrated presidential ambitions. Ms. O’Farrell first approached Mr. Sullivan Thursday evening with her call for his resignation and repeated that demand Friday. Mr. Sullivan rejected any suggestion that he leave office and both Mr. Sullivan and Ms. O’Farrell said they would approach the Executive Committee on the matter. Mr. Sullivan said he would resign if the Committee requested he do so. Day tripper A former MFC member of the Student Judiciary, Mr. Sullivan is currently registered in the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) the school for daytime undergraduates. The MFC Constitution, Article IV, section 3, provides that a student who takes a night course and pays the MFC activity fee, even though he is not a registered MFC student, is entitled to all the rights and privileges of regularly-enrolled MFC students “excepting they may not hold elective office.” Mr. Sullivan takes a night course and pays the activity fee but is registered in DUE and takes most of his course work there. He said he approached former MFCSA President Jack Bunting and Ms. 0 Farrell and discussed his constitutional position when he was first asked to hold an elective position. Mr. Sullivan said Mr. Bunting and Ms. O'Farrell agreed there would be no constitutional obstacle to Ins holding office. When former MFCSA President Karen Dill resigned at the end of semester, both Mr. Sullivan and Ms. O’Farrell sought the position. last Sullivan won and he claims Ms. O'Farrell is the only person who Mr. voted against him. Personal conflict Mr. Sullivan said he and Ms. O’Farrell had never gotten along after he requested the resignation of the Publicity Chairman and Activities Chairman of the Executive Committee. Mr. Sullivan said he had warned all officers that unless they worked hard they would not receive stipends. This last action “upset” Ms. O’Farrell, he claimed. According to Mr. Sullivan, Ms. O’Farrell opposed increased funding for Flealth Care, which Mr. Sullivan favored, on the grounds that the hours were not late enough to accommodate the schedules of night school students. She also opposed the heavy emphasis on beer blasts, which she felt were not serving student interests. Mr. Sullivan said the beer blasts were all well attended. Ms. O’Farrell said she is seeking Sullivan’s resignation strictly because she thinks he has held his office illegally. “The idea was that the night school students would run night school affairs. John is a day school student.” Commenting on the fact that Mr. Sullivan is currently running for the Presidency of the undergraduate Student Association (SA), Ms. O’Farrell said his seeking one office while holding the other was a “conflict of interest.” Mr. Sullivan said he “probably would resign from MFC” if elected to the SA Presidency.

Collective bargaining Students ‘the odd man out’ note: The following is the first of a series of articles examining the implications of Editor's faculty unionization for students. by Neil Klotz Special to The Spectrum (CPS) - Workers When the United Auto sit down at the bargaining table to negotiate their demands with Ford Motor Company, neither of the two parties would think of asking in a ’75 Mustang to give its opinion. influx of collective bargaining into higher education has left students in the same odd-man-out situation. If the faculty is the employee and the university is the employer, then under the same industrial model students must be the products or at least the consumers of The — education. Unfortunately, few students realize that faculty-administration negotiations over salary and work conditions can directly affect their tuition and student services. Few have noticed that as governance matters are switched from student-faculty committees to the negotiation table, their participation in campus hard-won decision-making during the protests of the ’60’s will become as limited as their say in what next year’s seat belts will look like. — — The lay of the law Attempts to legalize student input into bargaining have not been promising. Currently, no state legislation guarantees students even observer status in negotiations, and federal legislation marked for passage in the next six months may shut out the possibility for that guarantee altogether. Collective bargaining is not directly dependent upon the law. Anytime a group of workers wants to designate an agent to deal with its management, it can as long as the management agrees to bargain. If not, the workers’ only real recourse is to strike. State and federal legislation passed over the years, however, forces management to sit down at the bargaining table if workers fulfill certain stipulations like formally voting for a bargaining — agent. Currently, about 20 states have passed that enables legislation colleges and universities to bargain collectively. Only three states have had no legislative activity in this area, according to a recent study by Dr. Thomas Emmet of Regis College, presiding officer of the Education faculties at public Commission of the States. ‘Ripple effect’ Dr. Emmet predicted that more and more states would permit public higher education teachers to bargain collectively and that “each time a new state is added, one can expect the ‘ripple effect’ to spill over into the private institutions in that state as well.” Private institutions are not covered under state law, but those with revenues over $1 million a year come under the authority of the National Labor Relations Act. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) settles disputes when either side believes the other has violated the law. Students may be present at bargaining sessions when both sides want them there. Several student groups across the nation, most recently at Bloomfield State, N.J., have been allowed to observe and even speak during negotiations. But if one side doesn’t want students present and the other CHINA NIGHT ; side does, the dissenting side can appeal to the state or, in the case of private colleges, federal an authorities, charging that unfair labor practice is being used. No state has yet been asked to rule whether students have a right to be present under those circumstances. On the private college scene, the NLRB has also not been specifically asked whether students have the right to be present. The NLRB has, however, ruled that student workers and graduate assistants do not have that right. Stick to studies The Board ruled, for instance, that student cafeteria workers at the University of California Davis should be excluded from a food service employees’ union because the student’s primary concern was their studies rather than part-time employment. The Board recently made a similar ruling in the case of graduate research assistants at Stanford. “The NLRB will not side with — students in any way possible,” according to Alan Shark, the director of the Research Project on Students and Construction cutback hampers No. Campus Amherst Campus, when completed for the 1980—1981 academic year, will only have about 65 percent of the net space originally envisioned in 1967, according to the Office of Facilities The Planning. The cutbacks which were outlined in the 1972 Master Plan for m*jor departments, are North Campus construction, and affect all the particularly evident in the areas of Engineering and Computer Science were cut back 60 percent, and in Natural Sciences and which Mathematics, reduced by 45 percent Additionally, facilities, which include the libraries, the Colleges, Media Studies, Music and the Performing Arts, student-faculty activities, student health services and maintenance, have suffered a 40 percent decrease since original estimates. The reductions, according to John Neal, Assistant Vice President the for Facilities Planning, was mandated by the state because of expected nationwide drop in college-level enrollment. Although the North Campus was originally designed to support 30,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) students, the 1972 Master Plan assumes 25,000 FTE’s will be studying here. “Inflation is killing us,” lamented Dr. Neal. He feels, however, that the North Campus’ proposed budget of $650 million could be maintained. Dr. Neal was optimistic that existing plans are stable, and that the state is not going to pull out of the construction plans. He admitted, however, that “the situation can change tomorrow.” irTi Collective “It is very conservative and very industrially Bargaining. oriented.” “Students have no rights as third parties under the NLRB,” agreed Dr. Thomas Mannix, acting director of the National Center for the Study of Collective Bargaining in Higher Education. None of this is very encouraging from the student standpoint. Less encouraging is the fact that legislation has been introduced in Congress that would make public college negotiations also subject to the rigidity of the NLRB.

Conventional nuclear energy by Amy Raff Spectrum Staff Writer Alternatives to our energy problems and their relation to the American economy, were considered Thursday by John Howell, associate professor of Chemical Engineering. In his lecture Technical Solutions to the Energy Crisis, Dr. Howell cited the two major long-term solutions: the extraction of solar energy through silicone solar collector cells and the harnessing of nuclear energy with fast-breeder reactors and nuclear fusion. Dr. Howell explained that only one hundredth of one percent of the total sunlight reaching the Earth is presently used as energy. Silicone solar cells would be able to capture more valuable sunlight and convert it to usable energy. Large output sought One problem, however, is that to significantly increase the amount of energy, large areas of the Earth’s surface would have to be covered by these solar cells, which require a great deal of energy to produce. To be worthwhile, the amount of energy output would have to exceed the energy input. Presently, it takes twenty years to get back all of the energy put into the making of a single silicone cell. Dr. Howell also cited improved nuclear systems as a production entails mining uranium, isolating a special isotope and converting it into fuel rods, which in turn supply energy. He criticized this method for wasting large amounts of uranium and suggested a fast-breeder reactor that utilizes the extra uranium by converting it to plutonium. Dr. Howell called this a promising solution if certain technological problems can be overcome. Fusion cited Nuclear fusion, another proposed method, consists of together two nuclei at extremely high temperatures, producing a very rapid chemical reaction. Dr. Howell said the forces preventing this reaction are powerful, and that scientists have not yet found a way to reach the necessary temperature and density ratios for the reaction to occur. But nuclear energy is expensive and energy and economics have become closely related. And Dr. Howell bringing asserted that despite scientific breakthroughs, there are going to be capital problems. The change from fossil fuel to a nuclear fuel system would necessitate the steady diversion of funds to nuclear plants. “There are no crash solutions,” he said. Dr. Howell was confident, however, that several short-term solutions could be successfully applied. He held that present technology was sufficiently advanced to help and Israel, he noted, thermal solar collectors are the standard method for house heating and hot water. Despite available technology. Dr. Howell cited several difficulties. The heat must be stored somewhere usually in a basement water tank. Builders usually try to provide new houses at the lowest price. Although maintenance costs for installed solar heaters are low, the initial construciton costs are high. — Get radLais Dr. Howell suggested electric cars and radial tires as other short-term solutions. He estimated the range of an electric car to be 50-70 miles per charge, “adequate for commuting” and certainly more efficient than our present “gas monsters.” Among his other suggestions were improved planning of future urban mass transit lines, storm windows, electric heating pumps which work on a principle similar to that of refrigerators, and reducing the lighting levels in buildings. He also urged the recycling of minerals and finite resources, and the refinement of industrial energy-saving processes. Dr. Howell emphasized that “energy can be used extremely efficiently,” and theat “ultimately we must strive for a steady, stable energy consumption.” Abortion test case Boston doctorfound guilty of manslaughter Kenneth Edelin, the Boston obstetrician convicted by a jury last week of manslaughter for the legal abortion of a 20-week-old male fetus, has been sentenced to one year’s probation. The sentence was immediately stayed pending appeal of the decision, and Dr. Edelin was released in his own custody; The trial had its roots in the publication of an article in the New England Medical Journal in June 1973, which discussed experiments with possible penicillin substitutes performed on fetal tissue obtained in abortions. Thomas Connelly, a full-time “right to life” activist, said he sent the article to State Representative Raymond Flynn. Mr. Flynn, a Roman Catholic, represents a heavily Irish South Boston neighborhood. He sent the article on to City Councilor Albert O’Neil, accompanied by a letter which said that “all right thinking people” deplored such activities. Mr. O’Neil, who was at the time campaigning for sheriff, sponsored a hearing at which various members of the archdiocese testified at length. Shortly afterward, Mr. O’Neil announced that he would take the matter to the district attorney. Fetuses discovered As a result, four City Hospital doctors were indicted under a 19th Century grave robbing statute. In the course of the investigation following the indictments, two aborted fetuses were discovered in bottles in a morgue. Mr. Connelly told The New York Times that he had informed friends of his in the district attorney’s office of the existence of the two fetuses. One of the fetuses had been aborted by Dr. Edelin; he was later indicted for manslaughter. At the time. District Attorney Garrett Byrne was up for re-election The abortion performed by Dr. Edelin is called a histerotomy, which is similar to a caesarian section delivery. It is usually used only after all other methods have been ruled out. Originally, it appeared as if Judge James McGuire’s charge to the jury would support a not guilty verdict. The judge told the jury that a conviction for manslaughter necessitated the death of a “person.” He defined a person as an infant “born alive” outside the womb. Optimistic at first Throughout the trial, the prosecution maintained that Dr. Edelin had killed a baby that was born or “in the process of being bom.” “After the charge we were very optimistic and in a light frame of mind because the charge was so specific and so great and supported our theory of law,” Dr. Edelin said last week. But Dr. Edelin’s concern grew as the jury deliberations dragged on. The jury returned to court last Saturday. Foreman Vincent Shea shouted out the guilty verdicts to the courtroom. When “none of them would look me in the eye, 1 began to get very apprehensive,” Dr. Edelin said of the moments just before the verdict was announced. The trial lasted six weeks. On Sunday, Dr. Edelin, who is black, charged that racial and religious prejudice had made a fair trial impossible in Boston. The nine man, three woman jury was predominantly Roman Catholic. During the jury selection process most of the jurors had maintained that they held no opinions on abortion. ■ t ° “Witch hunt” An alternate juror said after the verdict that racial slurs had been leveled against Dr. Edelin “more than once” during the deliberations. “It was a witch hunt,” Dr. Edelin charged. “A lot came together for them (the prosecution] in my case: they got a black physician and they got a woman more than 20 weeks pregnant and got a fetus in the mortuary.” But “the judge was extremely fair,” Dr. Edelin said after the sentencing. Judge McGuire did not thank jury members for their services at the close of the trial, which is customary. The sentencing Sunday was a surprise. Judge McGuire had continued the case indefinitely on Saturday. Dr. Edelin had faced a possible maximum sentence of 20 yean, but the prosecution made no u recommendation for sentencing. The verdict stands as a victory for anti-abortionists who have sought to limit the effects of the 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion. But advocates of women’s rights and many physicians fear it will make doctors hesitant of performing second tri-mester abortions. It may drive some women back to illegal, often dangerous abortions, many believe. Other critics of the decision cited the extremely difficult decision which was put to the jurors: determining at what point human Hfe begins. Many have denegrated the prosecution’s tactic of interchangably using the words “fetus” and “baby” to confuse the jury, and, ultimately, use criminal proceedings as a means to set social policy. w ii4aaday,'24 j ’ebpttacy-1975 : • Page five �Outside I Edl by Clem A tragic verdict It is frightening to think of the tragic implications that the manslaughter conviction of Dr. Kenneth E. Edelin could have for women, doctors and thousands of children. Even though late abortions are technically legal in most states, pregnant women will not be able to find doctors eager perform the operation if an Appeal's Court does not reverse the Boston jury's verdict. Because many of these women are already economically and educationally deprived, the birth of unwanted children would have particularly disastrous effects on both mother and child. On a larger scale, the court's decision will create more mouths to feed in a decade when millions are already dying of starvation. to The Catholic Church and numerous "right to life" groups which have rallied behind fetuses and created the climate for the Boston Court's decision are, of course, oblivious to such practical problems. So obsessed are they with religious dogma that they can think only in absolute terms like "human life begins at the moment of conception." If licensed physicians determined that a one month old fetus would be born deaf, blind and crippled, these groups would still oppose terminating the pregnancy. That twelve ordinary people were handed the responsibility for answering as complex and sensitive a question as when human life begins is even more unfortunate, especially when one considers that at least some of the jurors actually made their decision after seeing a photograph of the dead fetus and deciding that it "looked like a baby." From a legal standpoint, it must be asked why the state of Massachusetts was allowed to prosecute an individual retroactively that is, for an act that had not been considered a crime until the incident. Two years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled seven to two that states may not restrict women from having abortions during the first six months of pregnancy. The Court specifically stated that the right of privacy was "broad enough to encompass a women's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy. But the states have circumvented the high court's ruling, just as they have effectively done to landmark Supreme Court rulings on desegregation and the death penalty. — The Boston jury's verdict must be overturned if humanitarian considerations are to take precedence over archaic religious doctrine. Buttressing the myth that human life is sacred from the moment of conception flouts the law and only prolongs the agony of many.

I’ve covered the past three elections and this and, largely for that reason, the dullest the is yet. Look at the line-up most disturbing (which I reported in Friday’s paper). Item: There is only one complete ticket on the ballot. A full ticket is not necessarily a sign of the better candidates, but when there is a choice from among full or nearly full tickets the chances are better that people committed enough to settle their differences and put together an administration that can implement a program are running. A full ticket has 11 persons. There is one full ticket, two with five members, and three fringe parties. This speaks poorly for the general level of seriousness in this campaign. Item: The position of Director for Academic Affairs will go by default to David Shapiro because no one else cared enough to run. (This is not meant to reflect upon Mr. Shapiro, who may very well be a fine candidate, but upon everyone else on this campus who gripes about academics.) Academic Affairs is a frustrating post. It lacks the ego value of the presidency and is not the best place to further the needs of special interest groups.

Seven years ago, the United Farm Workers (UFW) began an uphill struggle to unionize the unbelievably oppressed migrant farm workers in the Southwest. After four years they reached contracts with growers of table grapes, wine grapes and lettuce which very significantly raised the level of health care, job security and wages. Actually, the victory was nothing more than the same benefits which millions of workers had taken for granted for years. But the farm workers did it in the ’60’s and it was a new victory for them. Again in the ’70’s, the UFW is on strike, this time because the Teamsters Union has undermined all the efforts of the UFW by signing “Sweetheart” a contract which contracts with the growers benefits only the growers and the Teamster hierarchy.

Altogether an unrewarding job. But it is the position of most immediate importance to students and it’s up for grabs. Item: There are four openings for delegates to SASU (Student Association of the State University) and only four candidates. This is almost as shameful as the single candidacy for Academic Affairs. This University is part of a vast statewide system and we need action in Albany as well as here. But SASU delegates can’t help their pet interest groups much, nor can they impress people with their office. Item: With a single exception, the campaigns are floundering. One of the most effective political machines around, one that played a large role in last year’s elections, is moribund. Its leader is out of town, its second-in-command no longer has his heart in it, and one of its key members dropped out of sight Only one campaign has shown any signs of organization or vitality to date. But things are not as bad as this litany of despair might indicate. There are, I am convinced, candidates who will be able to do an adequate job. There are enough people with intelligence, energy, experience, leadership ability and commitment to put together an administration that can function. What SA needs, what we all need, are people with the imagination and perseverance to fight for the things no one usually fights hard enough about. What we need are people who are willing to beat their heads against several brick walls, who are willing to do the unutterably dull homework required to face George Hochfield, Robert Ketter, Ernest Boyer, or the State Legislature and eke out the tiny triumphs, the partial victories that are the best anyone can do. It can be done. Even in a field as thin and unpromising as this, there are candidates who can make that fight. I hate to end this on such a shamelessly hortatory note, but I urge all of you to get out and vote for qualified candidates. The fight starts with us, folks, and if we back out of it this early we just aren’t going to make it. Monday, 24 February 1975 60 Editor-in-Chief Backpage Campus In I would like to respond to Mr./Ms. Purdy’s letter of the 12th, concerning the U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Mr./Ms. Purdy, allow me to ask you a question. Do you support something that is wrong? Do you support something that is illegitimate? The South can never win the war. This is obvious. The government of Thieu is illegitimate, wrong and the puppet of the United States. It was put into power by the United States, and is supported by the United States. It is the Thieu government that closes down presses, that knows nothing of civil rights, that is the government of oppression, the government of political prisoners, the government of one man elections. Just read the papers Mr./Ms. Purdy. Your logic cannot be understood. To do something, then to realize it is wrong, and continue to do it? We support the government of Diem. He was overthrown because he was corrupt, illegitimate and without any support of the people of the South. The same fate awaits Thieu. The government of the North has continually cried out for observance of the Geneva accords of 1954. They have cried out for free nationwide elections. It has been the United States, who out of an ill found ideological fear, have subverted the free elections. Read the Pentagon Papers, Mr./Ms. Purdy Finally, Mr./Ms. Purdy, do you think that the people of the North and South at this moment are concerned whether their government is so called ‘communist’ or ‘capitalist?’ No! They have been the victims of a continuing war since 1945. They want peace, peace. Something they will if the United States continues to Mr./Ms. Purdy, never receive support illegitimate, corrupt, puppet regimes. The United States made a mistake. Face it, accept it, but do not repeat it. Michael Wiseman �I Appearing on the fol.owing eight pages are Pr0S ident D . . -- AlMh^sTbS: by the w..l take place on this page and are continued inside.

How would you insure a strong student voice in Administration policy-making? What role should student government play in the academic decision-making process? Include in your answer an If the assumption is that the student is foremost in the academic process then it follows that students should have the most active role in the decision-making process. We believe that the Student Association should be the voice of the students in this process since this role cannot be filled by either the faculty or the administration. First on the issue of tenure and promotion decisions. Since the students are the segment of the school that is more effected by the quality of the instruction, it is imperative that they play an active role in decisions of this nature. We believe that students should constitute one-third of any tenure and promotions committee. The Sunshine party supports the retention of the four course load because we believe that any additional requirements would result in a stifling of the creative and recreational facets of student life. We are interested in investigating alternative modes of marking such as: an extension of the decision deadline for itself in the academic be well supported by first policies, it must decision-making the student body. Presently, the Administration can justifiably dust off any proposals placed before it by the SA as irrepresentative of the students' demands. The only valid channel of input would be the course and teaching evaluations. I would support any moves to improve their effectiveness and importance in faculty affairs. Explicitly, if I felt the SA is not responding to the student need as I see it, I would not hesitate to implement all the powers at my disposal (temporary veto, reviews) to postponement, key appointments, and critical halt or reverse the machinery. For example, if the SA Senate were to recommend that the Speaker's Bureau the negotiate for "controversial” speakers, while "non-controyersial" speakers drew crowds, I would such proposals, veto them if they were postpone introduced again and passed, and if they were passed again. explanation of your position on: student input into tenure and promotion decisions, the four course load, grading, the Colleges and teaching evaluations.

Ideally, students should have at least an equal voice in academic decision-making as administration and faculty. As the consumers of education, we have the right to participate in this process. As student government leaders, we have the responsibility to represent students and to advocate more student input in academics. SCATE: Teaching evaluation is the first priority of Changes. We must have a strong, student controlled SCATE that will really help students pick their courses and teachers. Student Association must fund SCATE to maintain control of it and to make it available to all students during registration. We will revise and simplify SCATE and will lobby with the Faculty-Senate to require its use by all departments.

Include in your answer an explanation of your position on; student input into tenure and promotion decisions, the four course load, grading, the Colleges and teaching evaluations. How would you insure a strong student voice in Administration policy-making? Continue SCATE, make it more visible and relevant to student needs. Work towards publishing a comprehensive University-wide course description handbook. Continue to support the innovative nature of the College concept. Maintain the four course load. Give students the choice of contracting with the instructor for the grade the student wishes by doing a certain amount of work for each grade. At the end of the term, the teacher and student should meet to review the work and decide on a grade between them. Push for student voting on Faculty Tenure Committee. Demand that students have more representation on the FSA in order to increase student input into Administration policy making. Push to have at least two students sit on departmental hearings to have a voice and be able to vote. Also have students sit on the committee that selects department heads.

Finally, we feel that teacher evaluations should be made more accessible and understandable to the students. State your budgetary priorities. Should minority student organizations, Sub-Board and the Athletic Department receive more, the same or less money than last year and why? We have no budgetary priorities. Since all the students are funding the SA activities it would be pretentious of us as such a small entity to decide the needs for so many. We feel that it is the right of the student body to control the money they pay as a mandatory fee. This could be done by means of a list on which each student could indicate their priorities for how their money is to be allocated. The services and activities which are indicated as preferences by the most students would receive the most funding. Those which the students find unworthy would receive less. In this way the SA budget could be directly reflective of the interests of the students. government for leadership. Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of this year's SA. What would you have done over the past year and what will you do in those areas you see as deficient in SA? The SA's main weakness is lack of support by students. The small amount of the electorate that shows up at referendums and elections proves this. But I don't blame the students, for they have nothing to get excited about when SA matters come up. To them, the SA is an unresponsive, remote monolith that sucks in their money. To change this feeling, a wise policy-maker would promote activities and events that would involve most of the students, and which would raise the pride of the students for their school. At the same time, control of funding must be brought at a level closer to the individual. Specifically, we need more social activities, more available entertainment and better quality sports than the iota we receive now. Levinson —continued from . . page 1— . grading tenure, etc can be all of thise affairs successfully dealt with. There are a lot of seriously and students here now who would surely sign up for such a course.

Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of this year's SA. What would you have done over the past year and what will you do in those areas you see as deficient in SA7 The Sunshine party recently conducted a poll of a random sample of students, asking them if they could name one thing that the Student Association did for them this year. We found that over 80 percent of them were at a loss to come up with even one item. This is even a higher percentage than similar polls taken on the national level!! We feel that this is due to the policies of the Student Association this year, which was almost without exception along the lines of compromise solution with the administration. As a result of these wishy-washy tactics the average student has been left without any powerful form of representation. There is a logical reason for student apathy toward the SA. It has not shown the students that it can be a viable organization for affecting meaningful change in this school. We propose: a. To use money allocated for athletics for the benefit maintaining teams and increasing of all students accessibility to gym and pool facilities. b. Put a greater student voice into the expansion of the Amherst Campus. c. Provide commuters with activities which cater to their needs and interests. d.

Some how along the way the money loses its energy. And the students get nothing. The biggest complaint here is that nothing is happening at our school. My own budgetary priorities: We must create reel and tangible programs that generate funds within the framework of the state's guidelines: A Student Food Cooperative, Collegiate level Sesame Street (for NET); Student Savings and Loan Association the interest from which would fund an arts program!

So at the beginning of our corporations by-laws there should be this insert: "We need to tie these die verse elements in our universe together. And music is universal." Then when we pay our fees we know some of it goes into our own "not for profit" educational corp. that is a college (ah the colleges!) recognized by the state. Sportz. When the present burocratic situation is dissolved and dismembered it will be clear there is actually enough money for a VAST intermural program along with a limited (say statewide) intercollegiate program.

This would let each student decide where his/her $67 would go each year, and would thus apportion funds according to true student desires. SA should stop covering cost overruns caused by irresponsibility and mismanagement of funds by groups. When possible, service groups that can help the entire student body should receive precedence over groups with more limited appeal. — — To give students closer control of the spending of their money, we should seek to implement fundamental changes in the SA's manner of distributing funds. I suggest two alternatives: Allow the student to allocate part of his or her student fee to the organizations or activities on campus he or she chooses, when paying the student fee. Decentralize the SA into individual governments by school, college, or faculty. Then break up each person's student fee into a portion for the central SA and the rest to the SA governing the school whose courses he or she student govt the last four years as an outsider hanging out now a student I believe that given the opportunity I can do the job.

First the S.A. than the USA. Most students on this campus do not look to student government for leadership. Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of this year's SA. What would you have done over the past year and what will you do in those areas you see as deficient in SA? Current and past SA's have been true believers in their own self-importance and self-sustenance. It seems that all the current SA has been concerned with is UB's alleged "budgetary crisis." Since the Administration has used the budget to claim nothing can be done about such issues as the former Day Care Center and inadequate funding of the Colleges, SA has done nothing. The need exists for SA as a unified body to spend less time mediating between self-serving interest groups and more time representing the student body as a whole. A prime reason for SA's inefficiency is their total, dedication to the principles of bureaucracy. It is essential that the size of the SA bureaucracy be trimmed, and its operations be streamlined. Openness in student government is a must. The only SA operations which deserve to be carried out in secret are those which do not deserve to be carried out. If elected, we will welcome frequent challenges from any group or individual who disagrees with the way we are representing the student body. Smith —continued from page 1— . . . Colleges: These must be defended as alternative educational experiences. Courses that are cross-listed should be allowed for distribution credit even when registered under the College. Tenure: Student Association must fight for students on the departmental level of tenure decisions, for it is here that teacher competency is taken into consideration. Students can no longer assume that they have bargaining power merely because they are students. We must build contacts in the Faculty-Senate and increase student participation and expertise in its committees. Only by our own hard work can we regain the respect of the faculty, now sorely lacking. State your budgetary priorities. Should minority student organizations, Sub-Board and the Athletic Department receive more, the same or less money than last year and why? My first budget priority is publishing a SCATE. As stated previously, it must be student funded to insure student government control and its continued existence. Third World budgets must be reevaluated. Negotiated, rather than adversary, settlements should be reached to weigh the needs of Third World students with the use of already available services. This same philosophy should be followed in considering the athletic budget. Cuts in �research papers on the issues that involve all of us as students. This is exactly the point where the new Constitution radically departs from the old. Whereas we now have representatives who join the Assembly and then, maybe, a committee, we will now have legislative bodies composed of representatives who were on a committee first. As not everyone on the committee will be on the Senate or the Assembly, of necessity, only the most competent and hard-working will become members of the legislative bodies. Although the attack has been made that the new Constitution sets up bodies that are less representative than now, I do not agree with this view. I believe that we are simply exchanging quantity for quality. Politics on the national level has for years been moving towards a system that ensures representation of all segments of American society. It is about time that we did the same. The new wasteful general administration must be made, and a long hard look must be taken at the direction of our athletic program. Publicity can be improved by student control, and services already provided for by other parts of SA should be consolidated. Sub-Board's allocation should probably remain the same, but Changes pledges to take a consumer's view of the corporation as several of its programs need reevaluating. We will push for the sale of the FSA land to bring in more revenues. Alternative and additional methods of funding must be found for clubs and other organizations in order to free money for other important projects, such as an orientation guide, legal services and renovation of the Rathskellar. * Most students on this campus do not look to student government for leadership. Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of this year's SA. What would you have done over the past year and what wilt you do in those areas you see as deficient in SA? ; This year's Student Association was marked by, its inability to rise out of its internal problems. This in fighting lost SA much respect and input by the faculty and administration. I believe the budget crisis could have been largely avoided if the Finance Committee had been given, from the start, a set of fiscal priorities from which to budget. Another weakness was the failure of most coordinators to involve students. Many did try, but there was a lack of student organizing techniques. My greatest personal success was in actively involving over 20 people in Commuter Council (more than all the other coordinators Ira Kaplan Sunshine Party Do you think the Student Assembly has been an effective body?

Changes will not talk at the Assembly, but will build personal contacts with each member. Every person in the Assembly should be involved in a goal-oriented project, not simply urged to join a The poorly Student The fault with the activities of recent Student Associations has been their seeming preoccupation with only matters concerning budgetary allocations. The scope, awareness, and activities of the SA for most students means reading of the past meeting’s exploits several days later in The Spectrum. There has been without doubt a total lack of attempts to reach out to students, find their needs and understand their problems. The SA represents us, the students, in the governing of the University. There must be contact to bring about the understanding needed to work out answers to the problems that exist. The major problem with the new constitution is that it vests the power of deciding economic priority with various task forces. These may ultimately conflict with the wishes of the students themselves. As a solution to this, at the beginning of the year each student could be presented with a list of possible activities from which they could choose those priorities which are most relevant to their needs and desires. This would place SA activities at a level directly responsive to the needs and demands. The task forces would not become obsolete but would be able to use this information in implementing those activities which most reflect student interests. Later in the year a budgetary referendum could be held to enable realistic updating of student desires. informed committee. year's Student Association has had some the athletic bubble; the budget survey, the new constitution, the pilot SCATS. The new administration must build on these successes and pull SA out of its internal infighting. It is the job of the officers and Directors of the new SA to use the resource of the Assembly to build a base of student activism on this campus once again. We must excite the students' interest in. academic, state and national issues and lead a united This successes — student community towards educational and social change Together, we can get Student Association moving again Sullivan —continued from page 1— . . . organizations, Sub-Board, and the Athletic Department receive more, the same or less money than last year and why? Sub-Board should receive more money in order to insure that it will still be in existence. As of now, Sub-Board is in trouble and may go under. If this should happen, the Administration would have more control over student monies and activities. I feel that Sub-Board is very How do you interpret the role of Vice President, aside from his prescribed legislative duties? important. I believe that all groups have the right to exist on this campus, as long as they respect other existing groups.

Under all other conditions I will maintain myself as an aware, feeling human being actually willing to listen to the demands, desires, wants of the people whom ! represent, namely, the students.

But no major decreases in said budget. If an increase in the athletic budget in the coming year is not feasible, then we ought to maintain the present status of the budget. — Most students on this campus do not look to student government for leadership. Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of this year's SA. What would you have done over the past year and what will you do in those areas you see as deficient in SA? Last year's SA allowed itself to be pressured by various interest groups on campus, which I feel weakened the functioning of the organiztion. SA should have worked for increased recreational time, and should have taken a lesson from Buffalo State in dealing with commuter problems. The SA of last year should have directed more effort towards those students on the North Campus; in the areas of activities, services, and security. Finally, there existed a poor working relationship between the SA and the IRC, to the detriment of the University students. Executive Vice President Arthur LaLonde Changes Party Do you think the Student Assembly has been an effective body? What are your views on the newly-ratified Student Senate and Financial Assembly? Include in your answer what steps you would take to make SA's legislative bodies representative of students. \ I do not believe that the Student Assembly has been an effective body for a very simple reason: lack of information. It has been said, “Information is the currency of power." This is not one iota less true at this University. The Student Assembly has been an ineffective body due to its reluctance to gather and use information. The only obstacle in the way of the Assembly is its lack of commitment to anything more than a few three hour meetings per month. What is needed is an Assembly made up of committees that produce well-thought, cogent Constitution, by expressly stipulating from what segments of the University community representatives shall come, is taking a daring step to avoid legislative bodies that are composed of many people from few areas. My biggest job will be meeting with as many academic clubi*as possible to get them to participate in this new venture. Having been long forgotten in the shuffle of student politics, academic clubs may be the most reticent to becoming involved again. How do you interpret the role of Vice President, aside from his prescribed legislative duties? One of the things that I would absolutely need as Vice President is a committee. I have been working on projects, independent from studies, just about as long as I have been at this University. I don't intend to stop now. There are so many things that all of us would like to see changed, that it would be a waste of my resources not to use the experience I have gained working with people and problems at NVPIRG and CAC. I have a basic philosophy that I don't believe this election will change: don't expect the government to solve your problems for you; do it yourself. I ran the Book Exchange this year for a very simple reason; it wasn't going to open. I kept it open at night, which was never done before. I did all of this, using less money than was allocated for the operation based on days only for fewer weeks. I point out the above, not to pat myself on the back, but to point out another basic philosophy of mine; use less to get more. This is not just a pipedream; Buckminster Fuller has been showing the world how to operate this way for over 40 years. In times of recession, I believe it behooves the Student Association to do the same thing. In the past month that I have been in the SA office, I have noticed many little items that could be done without. I would like the office of Executive Vice President to be that of an "inside-man" who is concerned with the organizations who use Norton Hall. I hope to try to bring about intelligent economies through example and effort. Dave Sites Rehibition/Govt. in Exile Party Do you think the Student Assembly has been an effective body? What are your views on the newly-ratified Student Senate and Financial Assembly? Include in your answer what steps you would take to make SA's legislative bodies representative of students. The Student Assembly has approached total ineffectiveness for this past year. Much of the year has been taken up in quibbling over a budget that was supposed to have been passed last May. Thus, while the administration closed the Day Care Center and while Dr. 1975‘/Fhe SpeGtrum/SA-Election Supplement . Page three �students. It should be maintained as a priority in order to insure the expansion and establishment of the various operations it controls on an income-offset basis. UUAB shall be another financial priority. Knowing that a major concert on this campus is economically unfeasible, co-sponsorship is a possibility and should be considered along with increases in other activities. Day-to-day operations of Sub-Board should be the responsibility of the Executive Director and Division Directors. The Board should only get involved when requested by a particular division or if it sees the need to insure its survival. It should also set fiscal priorities and establish long range plans while at the same time establishing student priorities. I also feel it an absolute necessity that Sub-Board be represented in Albany in order to seek a change in mandatory student fee guidelines. If elected, it will be my responsibility to go there and to insure the expansion and establishment of Sub-Board on a sound financial basis. Ketter spouted arrogant nonsense in his decision on Colleges chartering, the Assembly spent its time in deep debate on budgetary trivia. The newly-ratified Student Senate and Financial Assembly give every indication of making things worse, by increasing the already elitist tendencies of the SA. If elected, I will try to force a referendum to delete these groups from the SA's already overblown bureaucracy. The Financial Assembly, for example, is the mirror-image of the Assembly as now constituted. Another serious mistake is the growing tendency to How would you resolve the inevitable conflicts between your role as an undergraduate representative to Sub-Board (which represents the entire student body) and as chief officer with financial responsibilities for a corporation? % make SA work through committees, almost the definition of bureaucracy. If elected, myself and the other Rehibition/Government In Exile candidates will try to replace permanent committees (which are ironically called "task forces" in the new constitution f with true task forces which will disband when they are no longer needed. A task force on the Day Care Center was sorely needed this year, and it never quite materialized. At present, we could use task forces on the North Campus transition, the alleged Security harassment of dorm students and gays, and on constant administration attempts to wipe out the colleges. 's’ A % <. The passage of Alternative Three, which would let each student have the option of earmarking where his/her $67 goes, would go a long way toward solving year-long budgeting debates. Campus, which I feel is presently inadequate. Actions by the Sub-Board concerning any specific group should be reviewed by a bi-partisan committee composed of representatives of Sub-Board and representatives of the affected group. In this way, our decisions hopefully can be evaluated in a fair and just way. In addition, UUAB should present clear and thorough listings of the times, locations and prices of events it sponsors, so that plans for attendance can be easily determined by each potential customer. How would you resolve the inevitable conflicts between your role as an undergraduate representative to Sub-Board (which represents the entire student body) and as chief officer with financial responsibilities for a corporation? This year the chairman of Sub-Board will be from the GSA. The person elected Vice President for Sub-Board will be either the Vice Chairman or Treasurer of the corporation depending on the vote of all the members of the Board. As an officer of the Board, it will be my responsibility to represent all the students of this University and at the same time, as an officer of SA, it will be my responsibility to represent undergraduates. Because Sub-Board is a corporation owned and operated by students, it should represent the needs of students. Therefore, if a conflict did arise the outcome would, in either a direct or indirect way, benefit the students. If a conflict arose, my priorities for resolution would probably be in the best interests of the corporation in order to insure the future of it. Due to the fact that Sub-Board is there to provide tfte needs of the student and is controlled by students, I do not forsee many or very serious conflicts arising. As Vice President of Sub-Board, I must make decisions that are financially sound but yet agreeable to the student body. I feel it is important to give students the most that Sub Board can provide. On the other hand, if students demand something that I deem dangerous to the well-being of the corporation, it is also my duty to inform the student body as such and,try to find an alternative way to satisfy its wants. How do you interpret the role of Vice President, aside from his prescribed legislative duties? If elected, I will see my primary responsibility as replacing the current rigid committee system with flexible, task forces. For instance, university temporary non-compliance with Affirmative Action guidelines is a proper subject for SA interest, but could hardly be dealt with by a standing committee. On the other hand, the SA could appoint a task force with representation for campus minorities, and this task force would go out of existence after it issued its report or after the university fills the proposed post of Vice President for Affirmative Action. Different segments of the student body, as well as faculty members in some cases (as in Affirmative Action), would be represented on these task forces, with an eye toward representing those segments most affected by the question at hand. Revitalizing SA through a switch to this sort of problem solving would more than occupy my time in the office. Vice President for Sub-Board Harold J. Besmanoff Free Beer Party What direction should Sub-Board move in? Indude in your answer a discussion of financial priorities, structure and mode of operation. I feel that the Sub-Board should move in a direction towards more and better on-campus activities and services for both resident and commuter students. The activities and services should also be more evenly distributed between the Main Street and North Campuses for the benefit of North Campus residents and those students who commute from areas nearer to the Amherst Campus. Our finances should be allocated towards giving the student body a greater variety of activities through UUAB. In addition, student health services should be upgraded and expanded to provide more health service to the Amherst Page four The Spectrum/SA Election Supplement .

Bruce Campbell Changes Party What direction should Sub-Board move in? Include in your answer a discussion of financial priorities, structure and mode of operation. Sub-Board I is owned and operated by students and has the responsibility to provide services for the student not already provided them by the state. The main objective of Sub-Board should be to provide these services while striving to establish and maintain them on an income-offset basis in order to insure the future of Sub-Board. With the resolving of the Amherst land between Sub-Board and FSA, a top priority will be the sale of this land with the interest from the proceeds going to the students via Sub-Board I. Having been in existence a little over a year now, the Health Care division has proven its ability to provide professional, low cost services to the 1975 Sub-Board I is a service corporation which should serve the entire student body. Health Care and publications affect most students directly, and thus should remain high-priority items. UUAB, which has by far the largest share of Sub-Board appropriations, should find some way to either cut down initial expenditures or else make back more money to offset the initial cost. For instance, their Music Committee might think of co-producing concerts with local promoters since this might result in inexpensive tickets with less of a UUAB subsidy. A major priority should be to transfer some activities and services out to the North Campus now that a majority of on-campus students now live there. Sub-Board should provide services the University doesn't provide or provides inadequately. Sub-Board's divisions, including Health Care, Housing, UUAB, publications, Norton House Council, serve real student needs. Sub-Board must keep and expand these services where the students desire expansion. With the Health Care division, for example, the new Student Pharmacy would need quite a bit of funding and it is up to Sub-Board to �decide whether it will get it. Each division of Sub-Board should be able to determine where its money should be spent. With almost one-third of student fees going to Sub-Board, student representation on the Board is a must. I would seek University-wide elected undergraduate members of Sub-Board rather than appointed positions. How would you resolve the inevitable conflicts between your role as an undergraduate representative to Sub-Board (which represents the entire student body) and as chief officer with financial responsibilities for a corporation? This "inevitable" conflict will come up only if there is some proposed Sub-Board project which will either help undergraduates while hurting the rest of the students or vice-versa. While keeping the corporation solvent is a must if it is to serve its purpose, services must come first. As a member of the Board of Directors of a Sub-Board Division (Housing), I've gained a good deal of insight into how Sub-Board works and into its potential for meeting future needs of students. As a coordinator for Sunshine House for two years, and as a past worker in the Student Legal Aid Clinic, I've gained some sensitivity as to what service to the students means. And I would use this insight and sensitivity to continue the generally good job Sub-Board has been doing, as well as towards its growth and expansion. the best mileage out of student monies. How would you resolve the inevitable conflicts between your role as an undergraduate representative to Sub-Board (which represents the entire student body) and as chief officer with financial responsibilities for a corporation? As a representative to Sub-Board, my first consideration would be to the corporation. The reason is simple: if Sub-Board I, Inc. should go bancrupt or can no longer function for some reason, all six student governments that work through it would be in serious trouble. I would have to represent the concerns of the undergraduate students with the understanding that Sub-Board must be preserved for the future and that only so much can be squeezed out of it. I would attempt to find out what the priorities of the undergraduate population are and work for the best way to implement them. Holding the requests of special interest groups in perspective is important to prevent the misrepresentation of the whole student body by a few very I would not, first of all, be intimidated by pressure from any special interest group. In dealing with them personally, I would first try to reason with the group and discuss the situation. I would listen to their requests just as I would listen to those of any other group. If, however, the pressure continued, I would strengthen my stand and point out the fact that I would not be influenced by threats of "scare tactics." When working out the budget, I would consider the group like any other group. I would take into consideration the size of the group, how many people would benefit from the group, what types of services or activities are offered by the group, the group's place in the community or the University, the future needs of the group, etc. No member of the SA should let himself be influenced the pressure of any group. He should be objective in dealing with all matters as far as possible. That which is best for the overall University should always be by considered. vocal groups. Sub-Board was set up to meet the needs of students and the best way I can see to make this a reality is to make it efficient and responsive. Treasurer Carol Block Changes Party Do you forsee your job as keeping the SA books and facilitating the budgeting of student fees or as making policy? If it is the latter, what are your budgetary priorities? James Smith Scope Party What direction should Sub-Board move in? Include in your answer a discussion of financial priorities, structure and mode of operation. Providing students with the best possible health care services at the lowest possible price should be the number one priority of Sub-Board. Sub-Board should move into the expansion of student health related services that presently exist. The clinical lab has shown that it can operate on a break even basis, and should be expanded wherever feasible. The proposed student pharmacy has been proposed long enough. Let's get the approval of the concerned government agencies, the personnel from the pharmacy school and the funds needed to open it. Sub-Board should be prepared to underwrite the cost of the first one to two years before it is established enough to be run on an income-offset basis. Improve and make sure that the services of the Birth Control Clinic, the Pregnancy Counseling Center, the Clinical Lab, and the Blood Assurance Program are well publicized and readily available to students on both campuses. UUAB presently receives the largest part of the Sub-Board allocations. However, it is not as financially sound as it could be. Removing any waste and/or poor management must be done, as well as finding better ways to get more student input into the various committees. The different University publications funded by Sub-Board, The Spectrum, University Press, Ethos, and the special interest publications are the most important sources of information that students have and must be funded and managed to their best extent. Sub-Board is the collection and dispersement agency for six student governments. Its administrative budget has to be funded properly so that it can carry out its operations as quickly and efficiently as possible. Norton Hall is the hub of student activities and organizations on campus. The Browsing Library, the Music Room and Norton House Council are all funded by Sub-Board and need to be supported on at least the same levels for continued quality service. The ultimate priority of Sub-Board should be to get Paul Bonanno Scope Party Do you forsee your job as keeping the SA books and facilitating the budgeting of student fees or as making policy? If it is the latter, what are your budgetary priorities? The job of the treasurer does involve a great deal of bookkeeping. That is a very important responsibility of the Treasurer. It requires a good knowledge of accounting and bookkeeping to be able to keep track of SA funds. I believe, however, that the job goes beyond this. The Treasurer should help coordinate the disbursement of funds, and work toward the development of a budget which is in the best interest of the students and the University. Athletics should be maintained, at the very least, at same level as previous years. The possibility of increased health care services would be a benefit to the students. Means of getting more commuter students involved in on-campus activities should be looked into. Many services and activities can be revised instead of new ones being formed, and, the end result will be the same increased benefit to the students. The Treasurer, however, like any other SA member, should work according to the rules and regulations set forth in the constitution. the — If you were Treasurer this year, how would you have handled a $100,000 deficit? A $100,000 deficit is quite large. Too large, in my estimation, to pay back very quickly. I would study all possible ways of paying the debt over several years. In this way, no one year would be penalized severely, and, normal spending would not have to be cut drastically. How will you deal with pressure from special interest groups? To be a complete Treasurer one must incorporate keeping the books, facilitating the budgets, and making decisions. The most important aspect of the office is having the knowledge to keep a close watch on the financial matters of Student Association. However, one must also be able to balance budgetary priorities with equitable funding for the entire system. Although being chairman of the Finance Committee involves making policy, it must be remembered that this committee is charged with representing Student Assembly priorities, and at the very least, those of the Executive Committee. The new Financial Assembly should aid the Treasurer greatly, but a yearly budget survey is a necessity. Different methods of funding should be looked into for Maintaining many organizations, including athletics. exorbitant budgets is unfair to the student body, and more funds should be channeled into intramurals and recreation. Additionally, we fund find funds to budget for new projects such as SCATE. If you were Treasurer this year, how would you have handled a $100,000 deficit? If I was faced with a $100,000 deficit upon entering I would immediately freeze all budgets. No spending at all would be allowed and stipends would be eliminated. Salaries would be frozen and if absolutely necessary, employees would have to be laid off. Most importantly, those organizations responsible for the deficit would be prohibited from receiving funding. After a strict review of the entire budget, I would gradually decontrol some budgets, but would probably mandate an across-the-board ten percent cut in spending. Budgets would be controlled by the funds available system, and no bills would be received for any organization spending past its available limit. office, How wilt you deal with pressure from special interest groups? We would at first try to head off the necessity for pressure by special interest groups by conducting budget 1975 . The Spectrum/SA Election Supplement. Page five r. �fc: hearing in the atmosphere of negotiation, rather than confrontation. With particularly controversial budgets, negotiation teams from SA, the group in question and third parties would be set up and counterproposals would be offered. The techniques of mediation or binding arbitration could be employed in these circumstances. Of course, in a potentially explosive situation, the first objective would be to quiet both sides down before any further business would be conducted. The job of the Treasurer in this situation is to act as a consultant to both sides and provide factual information regarding the financial situation of SA. Barbara Vaccaro Rehibition/Covt. in Exile Party Do you forsee your job as keeping the SA books and facilitating the budgeting of student fees or as making policy? If it is the latter, what are your budgetary priorities? While the SA Treasurer has to keep the books and oversee the budgeting of student fees, there is no reason that this cannot be a policy-making post. In order to get adequate amounts of money to those who deserve it, wasteful expenditures must be cut out. For instance, in this year's budget, $10,000 was budgeted for two organizations which overspent their appropriations for telephone bills by that amount. This would be enough to pay the entire appropriation for Legal Aid Clinic for one year, and almost enough to run PIRG for a year. The stipends for 16 different SA bureaucrats have got to be cut down drastically, if not totally eliminated. If elected, I would do anything in my power to cut stipends to a maximum of $300 a semester, and this only for the President, the two Vice Presidents and the Treasurer, since these approach full-time jobs that would prevent those office-holders frbm keeping part-time jobs to pay school expenses. I would strive to eliminate summer stipends. SA officials should have to work real jobs over the summer just like other students do. In line with the Rehibition/Government In Exile pledge to institute Alternative Three so each student can decide where their fee money should be spent, I see my job as bringing this idea to fruition. It's going to take a lot of work initially, but in the long run. Alternative Three will make things easier and more equitable. is incompetent or the course is a waste of time. SCATE should be recognized by the Faculty-Senate and distributed, assembled, and funded by students. 2. Four course load A crisis is approaching over the four course load justification in the Humanities and the Social Sciences. Students should work with faculty in this regard and issue a clear cut resolution for maintaining four courses. 3. Advisement The present system is inadequate. I advocate a 2/2 plan whereby the Freshman and Sophomore years are handled by the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) and the Junior and Senior years (or whenever a student declares his major) will be handled by the faculty advisors. This will provide students with advisors who have more time and better practical knowledge in the field. 4. Faculty-Senate Perhaps the most important avenue to advance is bringing motivated student representation to the Senate. As a member of the Educational Planning and Policy Committee, I see where our educational matters are being handled. Changes advocates student expertise not only in the Senate, but also on the Curriculum committee and at all levels of Tenure and Promotion review. Students must have a voice in determining academic policy. — — — What trends have academics taken over the past five years? What can students really do about academics? Academic policy is now moving away from the social consciousness of the late 1960's and early 1970's toward the more traditional fields. Grades and jobs now seem to the prime consideration of students, and thus, universities are regressing back to the era of repressive academic policies. Here at Buffalo, our own Faculty-Senate is very much interested in re-establishing a mandatory Freshman course in general education and is be What should be the criteria for the granting of recognition and budgets to dubs? If an imaginary club "Young Fascists for Freedom" composed of 50 members desired both SA recognition and funding, would you recommend it? The only fair way to handle such a huge deficit (1/8 of SA's annual budget) would be first cut stipends to the bone, then do the same with other SA internal expenses (i.e., travel). Since entire allocation for internal SA expenses does not approach $100,000, we would then have to hold public hearings to determine what services and activities are most expendable for one year. I would guess that groups which serve the entire student body, like Sunshine House and Legal Aid, would be immune from major cuts. For one year, the student body could get along with seeing a few less right-wing politicos and aging movie stars through Speaker's Bureau, or at least not paying the presently in the process of composing a report.

If the club, "Young Fascists for Freedom" abided by the requirements for recognition of student organizations (as stated in the Student Activities Committee Guidelines for Recognition) I would recommend recognition, but NOT funding. N.Y. State law prohibits the use of mandatory student activity fees for political or religious groups.

Judi Young Scope Party State your goals for the comming year and how you plan to achieve them. Every club and organization on our campus has the right to be recognized and appropriately funded by the Student Association, whether they consist of 50 members or 5,000 members, so long as their objectives are within the realm of the Student Association Constitution and will represent the student body as a whole. Although allocations may not be of equal amounts, since it is obvious that 5,000 students would need a greater amount of money in order to function as adequately as the 50 member club, I will propose and try my best to insure that no organization will receive budget cuts in order to give more to others. In other words, no club would gain the right to attain extra money if not needed. If cuts due to inflation must be made, they would be made equally, according to each budget size just as they should be distributed evenly. I will encourage each club to produce many, instead of few, representatives according to the size of their club so that they may be heard equally within the Student Assembly. What should be the criteria for the granting of recognition and budgets to dubs? If an imaginary dub "Young Fascists for Freedom" composed of 50 members desired both SA recognition and funding, would you recommend it? Explain. Criteria for the granting of recognition and budgets to clubs should be as follows: 1. A proposal of a realistic budget compared to the �An immediate relief would be to set up off campus parking with a dependable shuttel bus system. This would be in conjunction with improved overall bps service between State University at Buffalo facilities and the implementation of a shuttle bus for around North Campus. Another goal would be to help bring back Health Service to North Campus and to improve the other services, i.e.. Legal Aid. Along with this, I would want to make sure that the problems of lack of heat and janitorial services that occurred in Richman Hall last semester don't occur again. I feel it is imperative that problems of this nature be solved quickly and to the benefit of the students involved. I Would want to bring the activities of the Legal Aid Clinic and the Student-Wide Judiciary to the attention of the student body to a greater extent than they have been. Basically I feel that Student Affairs must be involved with helping the students in any problem that could be detremental to student rights or welfare. campus. introduced to the community of Buffalo by being informed of various places such as parks, theatres, museums, stores, etc. The new students should be made aware of the Colleges and what each one has to offer. Students should realize there are alternative methods of education being used within the University whicn they can avail themselves of. Students have been oriented towards academia and paying useless IRC fees instead of being informed of services which are relevant to their basic personal needs, i.e., birth control clinic, the counseling center, and the previously mentioned facilities. This information should be made available along with academic affairs. I intend to make this information available in order to make for a full orientation of all new students. The job of summer and fall orientation would be included in your position. How would you orient a new student to this campus? amount of members 2. Review of the objectives in the organization with respect to all students' needs and interests. The organization must have plans as to how these needs would be met. 3. The clubs must show their primary interests concerning educational and social objectives with correlation to the Student Association objectives and constitution, 4. The total number of members as compared to the total school student body being represented through such an organization. 5. Clubs must submit an outline stating why they should be recognized and budgeted. (This would be used for budget review.) 6. Agreement from the club that the above outline will be examined yearly in case of any changes made within the year. As I stated in my first answer, all organizations and dubs hqve the right to go forth to the Student Association and become recognized and budgeted, so long as such criteria is met. If such an organization as the "Young Fascists for Freedom" came to SA with the idea of attaining recognition through the criteria, I would recommend them, just as I would any other club. If they did not, however, meet the criteria, I would be hesitant in recommending them since it would be obvious that in some way, they would not be representing our student body and school to their fullest extent. I feel that the orientation process is very important. Not only must the incoming students be shown where things are but the workings of the University systems must be explained to them. Therefore the advisors must know not only the physical campus but they must also know, and be able to explain, all of the services and University Authorities, i.e.. Housing, Admissions & Records. I think that an important part of orientation is to develop a feeling of friendship and helpfulness among all the incoming students, including foreign students, transfer and commuter students. Because of this I would want International Affairs and Commuter Affairs involved in the program. Steven Schwartz Changes Party State your goals for the coining year and how you plan to achieve them. The job of Director of Student Affairs in my opinion has a great responsibility in that it must be responsive to the needs of the students. One of the main problems with the Student Association now is that it is very closed off and dows not know the everyday problems of students.

How would you orient a new student to this campus? Adjusting to a large, impersonal institution such as this University is not an easy thing to do. New students should be acquainted with all of the campus facilities including everything from the libraries and how they work, all facets of Health Service, to Sunshine House and the Legal Aid Clinic. In addition, the new students should be The job of summer and fall orientation would be included in your position. How would you orient a new student to this campus? My main responsibility during the orientations is to make myself known and to convey the feeling that if there are any problems or questions, students can always come to the SA office for help. During the summer I would like to organize some sort of presentation which would introduce the clubs and services aspects of the University. This could be done in a number of ways. Two ways would be to set up a display in Norton Hall as well as a short presentation with a question and answer session. Also SA should continue to run night activities such as coffeehouses and trips to Niagara Falls. The fall orientation can be very different from the way it has been in the past. One important difference could be the distribution of "insider's guide to UB" handbook, which would try to deal with the problems that will confront most of the freshmen and transfer students. Also, during the first two weeks I would like to run an activities fair with the other directors in which all clubs (academic as well as social) would set up booths in Norton Hall. I would also like to set up some afternoon mixers where freshmen and transfers could sit down, relax and meet each other. 1975 The Spectrum/SA Election Supplement.

It was real neat to see that blank front page of The Spectrum. I thought it was real bias of you. Why, what would this world be without papers like probably pretty dull. However, not yours everybody likes to pick up a copy of their college paper and see that the staff has devoted over 100 — lines to something as political as the mandatory fee. It seems quite clear that The Spectrum and SA are close buddies. But frankly speaking, you really shouldn’t have done what you did. The majority of students here really don’t give a damn how The Spectrum feels about any particular political situation here at UB. 1 mean, after all, the stuff you print really can’t be taken seriously. Most of the students probably read your paper just to get a good laugh. Most of your articles are funny and I’m afraid to say even the most serious ones. But I guess that’s just the way you plan it. Being a parakeet, I enjoy mostly bird jokes and when I read OLIPHANT I get a kick out of my little relative the bird. So, when it comes to Guest Opinion by Charles J. Ciotta Students for the Future of A thletlcs This essay is written to shed some much needed light and perhaps instill some new view points of the motives of intercollegiate athletics on a university campus and the community. It is directed towards the Student Assembly and its , elected leaders and also any member of the student body who will take the time to consider its content. The Student Assembly and its leaders have clearly shown their position and attitude towards intercollegiate athletics through their past voting records in the Assembly and their present attempt to gather support in an effort to severely reduce and cut out completely the budgets allocated to several varsity sports on the University campus. It is the same group which has classified itself as representatives of the total student body. Physical Education activities are open to all students and not solely physical education majors. Credits in Physical Education activities are required ofall students with noted exceptions. In the Physical Education Department, any student majoring or minoring may take courses for credit. They may repeat these courses for credit only if that activity is offered on an intermediate or advanced level. Varsity sports (men’s and women’s) are considered advanced courses for this purpose, by the National Association of Physical Educators and coaches. Varsity sports are a laboratory much as Acheson is a laboratory for chemistry and pharmacy majors to apply experiments and perfect the classroom knowledge. They have attained, in the past, by cutting football and reducing the funds for basketball. The Student Assembly and Finance Committee has taken away the right of students to attain advanced instruction in the skills and strategies of basketball and football for students majoring or minoring in Physical Education. A solid and good Physical Education Department cannot exist without intercollegiate sports. Without coaches who will instruct those desiring a Physical Education course, intramurals could not function properly without the expertise available in the department. By cutting or limiting hockey, wrestling or gymnastics, you also rob students of the benefit of advanced instruction in the skills and strategies of these sports for students majoring or minoring in Physical Education. By simply cutting any sport on an intercollegiate level, you steal the aspiration of any student (major or minor) who may benefit from advanced and concentrated instruction as well as the lectures and practical demonstration from expert qualified coaches (who would not be here unless there was a good extensive Physical being political remember, IT JUST WON’T WORK! By the way, your paper makes a wonderful lining for my bird cage. Tweet Education program). You injure those who intend to coach or require a thorough knowledge of the sport. By limiting or cutting sports, you also destroy the opportunity for students in medical related fields, primarily studying athletic training, to apply first hand on a professional level the basic principles in the prevention and care of athletic injuries and the duties of an athletic trainer in response to the different athletes types and various sports. You destroy the means by which grad students in the deparment may do advanced work and apply their knowledge through assisting of UB teams. Your actions are like taking a stage from an actor. What next? Do we take every book written on sports and athletics, pile them and burn them? You steal from students the ability to do field work properly, which is designed to enable them to observe, study and conduct research projects in the various sports. You drive the beneficial expertise of qualified coaches away from this University. Your actions cripple students interested in concepts, principles and techniques of supervision in varsity sports used by those aspiring to be supervisors, coaches, teachers and superintendents in the supervision of Physical Education. You have made no investigation of your own and now you take away from others the ability to investigate the social aspects of sport on a varsity level. You have made no attempt to place emphasis on sport and view its relationship to the processes of stratification, social socialization, social discrimination and social change. You fail to see and now you try to censor others from seeing the group’s dynamics as it pertains to small and large sport groups. In these groups the influence of environmental and population factors, interpersonal relationships and group structure characteristics on individual player adjustments and team effectiveness are evident. You give no consideration to small and large sports as sub-cultures, as would be the view of Physical Education majors, grad students and those actively involved in intercollegiate sports. How could a student study to any level of proficiency all aspects of the interscholastic and intercollegiate athletic program without one. These are just some of the ramifications of your actions and you will be called to atone for them. I am ashamed to be part of a University governed by a biased bureaucracy which effects the lives of so many and never asks or polls the students of this University but only goes on and represents so few. In the present state of things any one can get on the Assembly being placed there by no one and given the power to propose amendments detrimental to others but never having to worry about any constituency to answer to. Today you are being called on by the Students for the Future of Athletics (SFA) to answer. Cretoza Pertz (Parakeet) P.S. Your blank page isn’t blank anymore New improvements?

If Campus Security wasn’t notified prior.to the arrests, how did two if its officers happen to aid in making fee 'ramrodded' Mandatory To the Editor. I take this opportunity not to discuss the pros and cons of a mandatory fee per se for the recent referendum has rendered that subject academic, at least for another four years. However, 1 would like to raise several questions concerning the referendum that 1 find interesting. During the days preceding the referendum, an enormous campaign was carried on by the Student Association, a number of clubs it sponsors and the major student periodicals; all totally or partly funded with mandatory fees. Articles were written by the overpowerful periodicals to supplement the enormous amount of propaganda quickly spreading across the University making the “yea” vote a foregone conclusion. In the time I’ve been here, never has such a campaign been carried on for a non-election issue. Yet something seems unfair about all this. If the mandatory fee was to be used to overwhelmingly publish the pros of the issue, why then wasn’t a campaign of equal proportion carried on to inform the student body of the various alternatives available to them? i.e, selective distribution of student monies. Why wasn’t any campaign carried on at all . . . let alone one of equal proportion? Of 3,000 some odd persons to vote on the issue, over 1,000 voted against the fee. What What really happened? To the Editor TWEET! them? Perhaps by printing this letter you can get Campus Security to clarify just what happened. In the welter of controversy about police harassment of gay males, this is no time to let an addition to the growing list of, shall we say, pairs of mutually contradictory statements by Campus Security, go uncriticized. would the outcome have been if any substantial campaign were carried on informing of alternatives to a mandatory fee? It makes education students you wonder!! Has the fee been abused at the very time its continuance is at issue? Why was the “yea” vote ramrodded through? Think about it!

Automobile sales were up 3.1 percent from January, 1974, to January 1975, and the number of cars offering sales rebates were up 88 percent, according to economist Darrell Berchen. Four-fifths of these sales were small cars, while sales on all other cars declines. Some economists believe that tbtal sales may not rise much above 6.5 million and for American-made' autos, not much higher than 5.6 million. If that is the case, it will be the first year since World War II that the auto industry has suffered two consecutive years of decline. “As far as the energy crisis nobody seems to be concerned,” said Thomas Over, sales manager of a Buffalo Chevrolet firm. “We’ve sold more cars this January than we sold last January.” Douglas Conley, sales manager of Gulliver Motors, Ltd., found that customers are “buying a really expensive car or a really economical car.” Another sales manager observed that “People are buying small new carrs and small used cars.” > representation at negotiations. “No national student group, to my knowledge, has taken a stand on the federal legislation concept, which is to me frightening,” said Research Project director Alan Shark. According to Mr. Shark, some sort of federal legislation will probably be passed during this Congress. “They (unions wishing to extend the NLRA) had more than a hundred votes last time,” he said, “and now they own more really who owe Democrats, themselves to the unions in many ways.” JJ .

However, some deny the existence of a gasoline and increased demand for the materials used for the manufacturing of hte automobiles. When asked why many of the auto dealers are unaware of the energy crisis, he said these men are only businessmen, not economists. Collective bargaining...

Mr. Bishop also believed that the lack of confidence in the economy has caused car sales to drop. Mr. Beschen believes that the decline in car sales has resulted from a multitude of reasons, including the energy crisis, the decrease of personal income, Encouraging with gimmicks Major auto dealers have tried to encourage sales through various gimmicks, such as furnishing small cars with a luxury feature that was previously optional. This has caused the base price to soar, and has actually discouraged small car sales. Small car sales fell to 46 percent of hte market in October and continued to drop slightly thereafter. The price spread between the basic full-size cars and the “luxury” small cars narrowed enough to stimulate some sales of bigger models, resulting in an oversuoply of small cars. affiliate, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) have been behind several past attempts to extend the National Labor Relations Act to public WASHINGTON, D.C.

PRESENT A TRIP TO More favorable to students, said Shark, would be legislation that would force the states to set up their own public employee bargaining procedures. Under the federal blanket of the NLRB students have virtually no chance; at least within their own states they could bring more clout to bear, he reasoned. Lifesigns Some student groups have seen state lobbying as the way to go. In particular, student government leaders in Wisconsin have gained support from several legislators for guaranteed observer status for students in higher education bargaining. One state legislator has also proposed that campus governance procedures shall not be included in collective bargaining, which would at least safeguard student rights won in that area. A few other groups have chosen not to go the lobbying route and have attempted to organize student unions to negotiate directly with their administrations on the basis of ’60’s-style power politics.

In this “winning is everything” world we live in, AIA is out to win, but not the contest. As the athletic ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ, Athletes-in-Action considers its primary goal to win souls for Christ by presenting the message of Jesus to the sports world. Of course, it’s important to win. People respect and listen to you when you win. AIA’s eight teams, competing in six sports, play top major college competition, and have yet to be embarassed. The basketball team, formed in 1967, had a winning record in its first year of competition, defeating such collegiate powers as USC, Davidson and South Carolina. From that modest start, AIA has expanded to wrestling, gymnastics, weight-lifting, track and flag football. The wrestling team is probably the most successful of all the teams, winning better than 82 percent of their matches over five years. Both the basketball and wrestling life, to lead me and show me what he wanted me to do.” Both Newsome and teammate Lester Madison have experienced all sorts of changes since they invited Christ into their lives. “I’ve learned that if you play in a basketball game,” Madison said, “regardless of what the final score is, if you didn’t play your best and still won the game, you may be a winner in the crowd’s eyes, but in God’s eyes you’re a loser “I’ve seen a lot of changes in myself, and I’ve gained a lot of trust in God,” Newsome added. “1 have many chances to talk with Him, and I’ve seen what He’s done for people I’ve prayed for.” Often, AIA leaves a member of the team behind if the players are receptive to their message, as they did at Canisius last week. More than 2.5 million in live audiences have heard AIA speak since the program began in 1967. ” have split into East and West squads, with continuing success at the same level. The highlight of the A1A performance is the half time exhibition. The players, who receive extensive training prior to joining their respective teams, use the exhibition session to explore how Christ has changed their lives and how those in the audience can meet Him if they so desire. The players are most effective in their presentation because they’ve already experienced what they are presenting to the audience. Jim King, head coach of the AIA West basketball team, summed it up this way; “I believe in the message that Athletes-in-Action stands for because my personal relationship with God has been the driving force of my life Steve Newsome, a member of the AIA-West squad and a former player at Houston, discussed his acceptance of Christ. “I spent a few weeks with the Chicago Bulls last summer. On my way home after being cut, I was thinking that my life was going down the drain. I had worked for all basketball had to offer me, and now I didn’t know what I was going to do. 1 needed someone to help me, and there is no one else you can turn to except Jesus Christ, the Son of God. “So I knelt down and asked Christ to come into my ” Top notch athletes Much of the success Athletes-in-Action has had, both on the field and off, has been due to the impact of the key athletes who have participated.

This combination worked hotter than the others, but Buffalo could not gel any closer than six points. by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer The basketball Bulls were no match for the Athletes-in-Action (AIA) cagers Saturday night Buffalo fell behind early, never did catch up or even mount a serious comeback, losing 78-70. Athletes-in-Action is composed of players who have completed college. They travel across the country, never playing a home game, with a schedule longer than any other coleegiate team. However, since the team is not a college team, the game does not count on their opponent’s reerd. The first half indicated that the Bulls might have had this on their minds. “We didn’t play in the first half,” said Bulls coach Leo Richardson. “We had 14 turnovers, and we couldn’t work the ball.” Buffalo’s 29 percent shooting didn’t help either. Richardson, as he has done occasionally in the past, substituted five players at once. Unfortunately, the second quintet played like they had been excommunicated from team basketball. The game became an illustration of “first man up court shoots.” For the second half, Richardson returned four Testing ground After the game. Richardson initmated that because the game didn't count, he was using it as sort of a testing ground for his ballplayers. "The ten guys we had out there make up the nucleus lor next year's team." he noted. “Light are coming back out of ten. If they can continue to play together for two or three more games, we'll be set lor next year." “We've got some pretty good young ballplayers, like Larry JOnes and (Ron) McGraw, McCiraw s still the best ballplayer on the team." Richardson added. Buffalo Ians were irealed to an unusual half-time show. AIA is part of the Campus Cursade for Christ, and is based on religion as the guiding force behind the athletes.

The student reported that he immediately made an effort to leave the area, and was told by the officer “never to come back again because we don’t want people who Responding to allegations that undercover Security officers have been harassing students in the vicinity of Harriman basement, a photographer from The Spectrum was positioned in the area.

He indicated that he had merely stopped people and demanded identification “primarily on the weekends” when there seemed to be a “greater concentration of non-student men in the Johns'. “We have arrested six or seven gay men in the last couple of weeks,” said Mr. Menkeiena. In four out of the seven cases, the offenders had performed overt illegal sexual acts, he claims. Officer Menkeiena stated that he regards this investigation as an “objective job” and is trying to carry it out as “professionally as possible.” Popular hangout Pat Glennon, director of Security, has agreed that certain “people” have congregated in Harriman and Crosby for the purpose of “illegal and immoral sexual activity.” However, gay supporters claim that the Harriman and —continued from page 1— » Crosby basements are a popular hangout for many of their the friends, in much the same way that people gather on the or in machines, food third floor of Norton Hall by*the Rathskellar.

Campaign firsts The 1975 campaign boasts several “firsts.” It is the first election under the new SA Constitution, passed earlier this month. It is the first time in many years that only one complete ticket has sought election and the first time a candidate has run for SA office after holding office in Millard Fillmore College. (John Scope’s Presidential Sullivan, candidate, is currently President of the Millard Fillmore College He is, Student Association. duly registered a however, daytime undergraduate.) The campaign features the oldest candidate in sometime Michael Levinson, Presidential candidate of the Indian Party, age 34. He was an undergraduate before the University joined the SUNY system (though he is now re-registered as an undergraduate). His original student number had only five digits. For the first time since 1966, a sitting SA President is running for office. Clinton Deveaux ran for 1966, easily in re-election retaining his Presidential scat. Frank Jackalonc, the current SA President, is running for a position as a SASU delegate. Debbie Benson, SA President in 1972-73 also ran for that position, but in a separate election after she had left office. Finally, for the first time, two candidates for office are married. Arthur LaLonde, and Judith Young are both married, but not to each other.

The doors closest to the ramp in the Governors Residence Halls are kept locked for security reasons. Once inside, the handicapped must contend with the maze of narrow hallways. Elevator keys were previously impossible to obtain, but the lock has been changed and copies are now available to those who need them. In addition to problems of mobility on campus, the handicapped must also overcome difficulties traveling between campuses. For those who cannot operate an automobile, the CAC group points out that seatless busses or trucks with hydraulic lifts would be ways to ease the problem. Those who are able to drive are permitted to utilize parking spaces reserved for the handicapped. Double lines are drawn to allow space for adequate movement between cars. - — Page two The Spectrum Friday, 21 February 1975 . “The anti-gay feeling in this community is so strong that some gay men are intimidated from even making public complaints about having been illegally intimidated,” he asserted. w In a letter in today’s issue of The Spectrum Mr. Weiss and men’s Letter to Ketter corridors asserted that “the offices, classrooms, wide a Mr. Weiss wrote a letter to President Ketter this week are used by room in Harriman basement faculty informing him of the alleged illegal acts. cross-section of the University community.

Its leaders have called for the resignation of Sports Editor Bruce Engel on the grounds that he has a “negative attitude” toward athletes and the athletic Pressuring SA Athletic group fights for funds by David J. Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer In the last ten days, a new faction of students has burst onto the Student Association (SA) scene. It calls itself Students for the Future of Athletics (SFA) and its goal is to reestablish some dignity to a Buffalo athletic program which has been bent, folded, spindled, and mutilated by budget cuts for the last few years. SFA opened shop a week ago Tuesday at a closed meeting of varsity athletes. They devised a game plan for how they could successfully compel SA to allocate the funds they feel are necessary to keep Buffalo athletics intact. At the Student Assembly meeting of February 12, about thirty athletes came out in support of SFA. The group’s leader, All-American wrestler Jim Young, addressed the Assembly. Mr. Young said the immediate goal of SFA is “to promote athletics and maintain the rest of the (athletic] program.” He added that SFA wants its program “to go back to the way it was. We feel that any athletic team has the right to exist as much as any other SA-funded club.” In motion Mr. Young also said SFA would not stand by and watch its demands be brushed aside by the Assembly. “We will ask for the resignation of certain people. We will meet with Dr. Ketter. If need be, we will go to Albany and inform legislators about what .is facing on here,” declared. Mr. Young introduced specific complaints about current athletic program which SFA wants resolved. noted that the Athletic Department lost $7000 publicity cuts, facilities are inferior, and supplies program. Both Mr. Engel and SA President Frank Jackalone were invited to SFA’s meeting last Tuesday. Mr. Young claimed that Mr. Engel lacked confidence in his ability as a journalist and was not doing enough for athletics public he the He relations. in arc meager To better understand exactly what SFA was demanding, members of SA’s executive board met Monday with SFA leaders and with the Student Athletic Review Board (SARB) which is charied by Dennis Delia. At the meeting, SA President Frank Jackalone and Student Affairs Coordinator Howard Schapiro proposed a new athletic budget which cuts out five of the smaller men’s intercollegiate sports. Provisions were also made to allow SFA and SARB to make their own budget proposals, which they did at Wednesday’s meeting of the SA Assembly. Up the sleeve But budget proposals aren’t the only ways SFA is trying to resolve its problems. Since it cannot pass any pro-athletic budget without Assembly support, it has begun a drive to attract as many of its members as possible into SA before the February 28 deadline. SFA also has endorsed the pro-athletic ticket led by presidential hopeful John Sullivan, and enlisted the help of SA assemblyman Jon Burgess to explain the finer points of parliamentary procedure. Our man Mr. Engel quickly rebuked these statements, saying, “1 have considered resigning as Sports Editor for a great variety of reasons. Confidence is not one of them.” As for his being a PR man, Mr. Engel explained, that his job as editor' “is to disseminate news in as effective, exciting, and descriptive way as possible, I am not your agent to represent your case.” Mr. Engel was also accused of distorting sports coverage but a consortium of The Spectrum sportswriters disputed this claim. To offset the “bad copy” that SFA feels athletes have been getting, Mr. Young plans to publish a sports newspaper written by the athletes. “We’re going to have a with some positive articles and positive writers instead of The Spectrum writing its negative articles about us,” he explained. Mr. Jackalone addressed SFA about the Executive Committee’s budget proposal for athletics. After explaining each line of the budget, which eliminates five sports, he warned that neither the State of New York nor the President of this University is likely to rush to the aid of inten e sports. Assembly rejects SFA, SARB budget proposals by Clem Colucci Special Features Editor A tired Student Assembly recessed Wednesday evening after two hours of debate that led to rejection of two of the four alternative athletic budgets presented to it. The Assembly rejected the Student Athletic Review Board’s (SARB) proposed $229,232.91 budget after making clear it would not consider a $266,400.00 proposal from the Students for the Future > of Athletics (SFA). In other action, the Assembly voted to allocate $18,529.16 in overpaid disbursing fees (fees that go to Sub-Board for handling SA’s banking and other financial arrangements) to the Health Care division of Sub-Board to improve campus health care. Student Association (SA) President Frank Jackalone explained that the athletic budget problem arose because a shift in priorities toward increased spending for sports, and women’s intercollegiate intramural, club, and recreational sports. This factor, coupled with a roughly constant level of total athletic funding, forced severe cuts in men’s intercollegiate sports, Mr. Jackalone said. The four alternative plans, he added, represented four different philosophies about the best way to solve the problem. The Assembly has begun studying the athletic budget nearly two months in advance of the regular budgeting process because the Athletic Department needed to know how much funding it would receive so it could begin scheduling events. Waiting for Godot The Assembly debated a motion by Jon Burgess to postpone consideration of the athletic budget until the results of the SA priorities survey were ready. Speaker’s Bureau Chairman, Stan Morrow, while agreeing a delay was “plausible,” argued the Assembly must act quickly because “it’s imperative that the Athletic Department know where it stands.” budget Community Action Corps (CAC) director Dave Chavis said the surveys represented student opinion and should be before presented budgets were any approved. SARB member Mark Giasante countered: “No matter what happens, we are the ones who are going to make the decisions.” Mr. Burgess’ motion failed 18-24-1. Treasurer Sal Napoli moved that Proposal A, a budget that would cut men’s intercollegiate cross country, fencing, swimming, golf, tennis, and track (saving $11,251.12 over this year’s budget) in return for more consistent support of major sports. SARB Chairperson Dennis Delia moved the SARB-proposed budget by substitution. Save sports Mr. Delia explained the SARB budget would cut from general administration, promotion, and publicity in order to retain all men’s intercollegiate sports. Mr. Chavis asked why intercollegiate athletics had to be funded at a high level, and questioned the use of mandatory student fees “to pay for your (the athletes’! prestige.” Jim Young, leader of the SFA, said varsity intercollegiate teams have the same rights as all other clubs. “They exist . . . that’s all you need to know.” Charles Ciotta, another SFA organizer, said the teams serve a valuable educational function for physical education majors and people who want to make careers out of scholastic coaching. “We’re not against declared. Marty Brooks you,” he responded: “There’s nothing wrong with funding athletics, but when it costs $200,000 Ihave serious reservations.” Richard Sokolow, another Assembly member, reiterated Mr. Brooks’ point and suggested that athletic events, like UUAB other activities many movies and subsidized by the mandatory student fee, charge admission. Selling point Former Executive Vice President Dave Saleh addressed the Assembly with an endorsement of the SARB budget. “Athletics is the selling point of the mandatory fee all $67 of it.” Mr. Saleh said he had spoken to state legislators and that a well-balanced ahtletic found program funded by the mandatory fee is all that would keep the legislature from mandatory banning the fee. His exhortation was to no effect, however, as the Assembly rejected the SARB budget, 15-24-1. The SFA’s proposed budget did not include lines for intramurals, club, and recreational sports. The total budget for men's and women’s intercollegiate athletics came to $199,400. When the $67,000 budgeted for intramurals, club, and recreational sports was added, the total rose to $266,400, far more than any other proposed budget and a $ 10,000 increase over last year in the intercollegiate - allocation. Mr. Young showed where SFA would accept cuts. Four thousand dollars could be cut from the publicity budget, $2500 saved by not restoring the crew team (which SFA’s budget does), and $4250 saved by cutting the funds for awards and a banquet in half. Food fight The line for awards and a banquet drew heavy criticism, prompting the following exchange after a member of New York Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) said he had worked for PIRG for four years and did not expect a banquet. Mr. Young: “Do you feel you deserve a banquet?” PIRG Member: “No.” Mr. Young; “Well, the philosophy of our organization is that we should [have a banquet) The Assembly, after a few more questions and comments, let the SFA budget drop without acting on it.

The Nader staff noted that the National Air Pollution Control Administration issued a report in February of 1969, where they found in the Buffalo air twice die minimum level of suspended particulates that causes increased respiratory diseases and death in person’s over 50. Research in Buffalo has established a link between the high “particulate levels” of and “increased pollution mortality,” Mr. Nader explains in the book’s introduction. In South Buffalo, where a large Allied Chemical plant and Republic Steel plant are located, and in Lackawanna, where one of the largest Bethlehem Steel plants is located, the National Air Pollution Control Administration found suspended particulates numbering over 200 micrograms per cubic meter of air. Suspended particulates have been linked to cirrhosis of the liver, respiratory diseases, heart diseases and various forms of cancer, according to a series of reports on air pollution in Buffalo by Dr. Winkelstein and others. According to Mr. Nader’s group, the city of Niagara Falls is not much better off. Looking beyond the roaring cataracs, the city is packed with factories from the giant chemical companies, including Hooker and Dupont. They contribute heavily to the pounds of sulfer dioxides, garbage” particulants and carbon monoxide that settle upon that city each year, Mr. Nader claims. Pro-pot Professionals rank high among all. adult occupational categories: 28 percent admitted having used marijuana, and 14 percent said they use it regularly. The survey also showed that two out of three adults who smoked the drug do so once a week or less. The survey was conducted in October 1974 by Opinion Research Corporation, Princeton, New Jersey. It asked a nationwide cross section of 2133 adults and 505 teenagers about their marijuana usage and their altitudes toward the drug laws. The new Heinlein! Franklin Wallick, a member of the United Auto Workers and Editor of the union’s weekly newsletter, UAW Washington Report, estimates that “one in twenty” of our nation’s 80 million workers will suffer some pccupational disease or illness this year as a result of occupationally caused pollution. In his book, The American Worker: An Endangered Species Mr. Wallick lists example after example of the frightening abuse that American workers face daily on the job. dust, noise, Intolerable particulates, dangerous chemicals, radiation, unsafe machines, heat stress and fumes assault the worker every minute, and after years of work, resulting in thousands of cases of asthma, emphysema, black lung, brown lung, cancer, beryllium and skin diseases. , Miners Mr. Wallick recalls the twenty by of years dilly-dallying American mining companies, their doctors, and their representatives in government, when the miners complained of breathing problems because of the crippling black lung disease. Finally, in 1969, The Coal Mine Health and Safety Act was passed, offering some protection to miners by setting air quality standards in the mines and providing compensation to those crippled by black lung. Yet, in 1972, the U.S. Public Health Industrial workers estimated that one Service Those who suffer the most are hundred and fifty thousand industrial workers, who work in American miners were suffering heavily polluted work-places with from black lung. a wide range of extremely Violations of the code by companies occurs dangerous chemicals. ■:* -s mining — — * Page four . - Free group The DAC is a private Washington group which serves a non-partisan drug use and misuse information source. “The distinguishing feature in our survey,” said DAC president Thomas Bryant, “is that it is the first national survey to ask the public’s opinion on a variety of changes in marijuana laws,” laws that are currently being debated in state legislatures and in Congress. In 1971, the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse estimated that 24 million Americans had tried marijuana and 8 million used it regularly. Three years later. Dr. Bryant reported that 29 million citizens have tried marijuana, with nearly half of them using it regularly. by Paid Krehbiel Dr. Winklestein, Jr., of the University of Berkeley, conducted studies in the Buffalo area in the 1960’s, and found that the death rate for white males between the ages of 50 and 69 was twice as high in areas where the particulate levels exceeded 135 micrograms per cubic meter of air, than in areas where it was less than 80. Eightenn percent of Americans age 18 and over have tried marijuana, and eight percent of them use it regularly, according to a recent Drug Abuse Council (DAC) report. V The survey also showed that 14 percent of teenagers ages 12 to 17 have tried marijuana while five percent are regular users. Thirty-nine percent of the adults surveyed favor the elimination of criminal penalties for the sale, possession or private use of marijuana; forty percent believe in more stringent laws and 13 percent favor retaining the present regulations. Eighty-two percent of those surveyed who have used marijuana favor reducing the penalties, as compared with 30 percent of those who have not used it. - the second of a three-part series on air pollution and health.

Prior to fielding questions from the audience, Dr. Ketter discussed the progress of construction on the Amherst Campus. The University will need at least a $10 million increase over the- present $77 million Operating Budget to accommodate planned expansion, according to Dr. Ketter, He explained that the $6.6 million requested increase was needed to remain “constant" and said the $3.9 million increase Governor Hugh Carey proposed for next fall would be “exceedingly difficult” to work intramural program for getting students involved in recreational activities. Athletic programs at this University have had an uphill struggle since state funding was cut in 1971, and Dr. Ketter acknowledged the difficulty of securing outside funding. Therefore, he said, funding must 'iggest since 70 Protest at U. of Michigan by Brett Kline Spectrum Staff Writer Hundreds of students and professors rallied on behalf of the Graduate Employees Organization (GEO) at the University of Michigan last week. The demonstration the largest at the Ann Arbor Campus since 1970 supported various economic demands, including a three percent raise retroactive to January, a seven percent raise for 1975-76 and a $350 fee in lieu of tuition. University officials have admitted that graduate students are not wrong in demanding higher salaries, but claim they are having financial troubles and would have difficulty coming up with the needed extra funds. In response to the protests, they have proposed a 5.6 percent pay increase beginning September 1975. demanded The also protestors non-discrimination on the basis of age, race, creed, color, religion, sex. national origin or sexual preference in University hiring and firing practices. University officials have agreed to take a survey of the current ratios of women, blacks, Chicanos, Asians and native Americans in each department and school. By September 1975, an attempt will have begun to raise the percentage of graduate assistants in these catagories to the corresponding percentages in the entire graduate student population. - with. - If additional funds are not forthcoming, the University must release 60-160 employees, including eight positions in the School of Nursing and ten from Student Services. In addition, Mr. Carey’s budget mandates that the University decrease its rate of library acquisitions by 20,000 volumes. All buildings and facilities on Amherst Campus will be completed by 1980-81, Dr. Kctter reported. (Buildings that will accommodate the Schools of Education and Philosophy, Library Science, Industrial Engineering and Physics will b”fe ;ready in the fall.)

Tire slashing of 40 official University vehicles, causing an estimated $4000 worth of damage, was also reported on the Ann Arbor campus, but GEO disavowed any responsibility for the occurence. “GEO condemns action destructive of property and reaffirms the principles of non-violence,” stated one protestor THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT COMMITTEE AND THE I.E L I.

As of Wednesday, negotiations between university officials and GEO representatives have been made public. Reporters may now attend bargaining sessions, although no substantial progress has been reported. Undergraduate support for the strike has ranged from commitment to resentment of the strikers. Support among dormitory students has been high, and one dorm has donated a wing of its building to be used as strike headquarters. Some students have remained on the picket lines but not enough to warrant what would be termed “widespread student support.” 21 February 1975 The Spectrum Page five . . J i �Handicapped.

As undergraduate studies shift to the Amherst Campus, the Main St. Campus will be converted into a health sciences center. “As buildings are converted, all building code violations will be done away with in what we hope will be five years from now,” said Jim Rozanski, a technical specialist for Facilities Planning in charge of construction. Citing Tower Hall as an example of a “rehab,” Mr. Rozanski said that “as buildings become vacant, they will be renovated as quickly as possible.” He added, however, that obtaining money for the projects will be difficult. Building renovation codes are outlined in an architectural checklist entitled Making Facilities Accessible to the Physically Handicapped, which was compiled by members of the State University of New York Construction Fund in January 1974. New York State Building Construction codes are also followed. “When there is a difference between one of the two codes, we always take the more stringent," Mr. Rozanski said.

After an hour, Reservation President Robert Hoag convinced Ms. Kennedy to leave her home and file a deposition about the matter. She did, and was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment and attempted murder. Arraignment was held the next day in Brant Town Hall, where more than 50 of her supporters packed the court room. Although $25,000 bail was originally set, it was later reduced to $3,500 cash bond. Ms. Kennedy was held for six days before bail was raised and released pending a grand jury policemen. The Niagara Mohawk supervisors had entered the reservation to shut off the electricity of 12 traditionalist families, including Marlene’s, because the families had withheld payment of their bills for political reasons over the past year and a half. The incident occurred after service had been terminated. After her husband left for work, Ms. Kennedy awakened in the morning to see several white men, unknown to her, standing in front of her home. investigation. Despite the importance of proving her innocent, Ms. Kennedy’s defense centers around Indian sovereignty. She is, according to her legal argument, a Because her two requests that they identify themselves were ignored, Ms. Kennedy fired three warning shots. The men responded by firing upon her traditionalist Indian who does believe in the elected government and is not bound by American law. This argument denies both the state jurisdiction over her, and the state police the authority to arrest trailer house. This time Marlene dented the hood of the men’s unmarked car with two bullets, but the men still would not identify themselves. “I ! her. In 1848, the U.S. government STARTS TODAY ! persuaded the Senecas to adopt an elected form of government based upon the American model. All power was vested in a President, who relied upon a council. Although women had previously appointed the chieftains, they were automatically disenfranchised because they did not as yet have the right to vote under the American Constitution. This system was later extended to other reservations throughout the country, including the Pine Ridge Reservation in Wounded Knee, South Dakota. Although this was originally a temporary arrangement, American officials refused to accept the Senecas’ attempt to reconstitute their traditional government. The government’s justification was that the Indians’ effort was only verbal, while they had a written agreement. Despite the fact that Native American society is traditionally an oral one, the Indians had effectively lost control of their own affairs. Critical response President Hoag is presently the leader of this elected Seneca Nation government, which ! ! ! traditionalists claim to be facto government a de operating illegally. Mr. Hoag responded unfavorably to the Kennedy incident, stating, “We can’t allow something like this to go on, because utility companies won’t want to come on the reservation to service other Senecas who don’t happen to believe as the traditionalists do.” The Seneca President issued an exclusion order Jan. 11 against the traditionalists’ legal advisors, Meredith Quinn and Kenneth Van Aemam, and suggested that a move to bar all the dissidents “is . . . being contemplated.” As for sovereignty, Mr. Hoag said, “We live in the United States and in New York State. We want the services of both, and both have an obligation to perform some services on the reservation.” The traditionalists, as announced in their Feb. 5 press conference, are filing suit against Mr. Hoag in Buffalo Federal Court. Their lawsuit demands that the exclusion order be overturned because it violates their rights to freedom of association and due process of law.

Despite Mr. Hoag’s recent estimates that traditionalist supporters number only 10 on the Cattaraugus Reservation, they contend that he misrepresents his own backing, and moreover, that his own election was fraudulent. Besides Mr. Hoag, the traditionalists are opposing several major interests. Powerful utilities and other corporations use Indian resources. These include International Telephone and Telegraph, American Telephone and Telegraph, Bell Telephone, a Western Union line, the cable for burglar alarm service to all of Western New York’s banks and 25 natural gas wells rented by • Traditionalists seek to restore Indian control over what they consider a “greedy exploitation” of their resources.

Eleven medical ‘doctors aWo provided medical evidence that prolonged use of the hoe results in permanent back injury in the form of ruptured spinal discs, tom back ligaments and arthritis. Tony Cervantes, a farmworker who testified before the Court, said that California growers get away with making workers use the instrument because most of the farmworkers Who do the thinning and harvesting were braceros, people brought up from Mexico to work for a specified time. If the braceros complained about stooping down, Mr. Cervantes said, the growers would simply send them back to Mexico. Mr. Cervantes said the tool is used throughout California, with the exception of parts of the San Joaquin Valley. The San Joaquin is a United Farm Worker (UFW) stronghold, and the union has repeatedly fought with growers over the issue of the hoe. Ceaser Chavez, director of the United Farm Workers (UFW) who himself is disabled with a lower back problem due to years of bending over, is vehement about “el corito.” “The short hoe,” he says, “is probably the most crucifying work of all... degrading, the most vicious form of human exploitation of the human body. “After ten years of constantly bending over,” Mr. Chavez said, “a farmworker’s career as a healthy person is through.” The only way many older farmworkers ever make it through a day of stoop labor, Chavez says, is to take amphetamines, which only compound the body’s It’s called “el cortito? by SALINAS, Calif. (LNS) the people who use it, and the growers justify its use by saying, “It doesn’t hurt the Mexicans, they’re built close to the ground anyway.” It’s the short handled hoe, an instrument with a twelve inch handle that forces the worker who uses it to bend down at the waist eight, ten, or twelve hours a/day. Thousands of farmworkers have become permanently disabled after years of working with the instrument, but growers continue to justify its use, saying that it’s “more efficient” than a long handled instrument which permits workers to stand straight up. For years, the California State Industrial Safety Board, whose members were political appointees of then-Governor Ronald Reagan, ruled that the short handled hoe could not be classified as “unsafe within the meaning of state regulations,” i.e., the tool s hazards weren’t the result of a manufacturing defect or improper maintenance. On January 13, however, the California Supreme Court ruled unanimously that “any hand tool which causes injury, immediately or cumulative, when used in the manner in which it was intended to be used, may constitute an ‘unsafe handtool’ within the meaning of the regulation.” Mo Jordain, a lawyer for the California Rural Legal Assistance who brought the legal action against the state, hailed the decision as a victory and said it may result in “putting the tool out of business in California.” The Supreme Court heard testimony from several - * problems. loam aroun Europe all summer for$18Q A Stud« travel through Buy om business All we get there, be Holland, Italy Switzerland. 100,000 and social att and comfortab And you Second Class. if you want to CUttUCE SUE ’ You cai is valid on mar foils.

Friday; 21 February 1975 �Draft evaders running for nothing because of mix-ups Editor’s Note: The following is the second of a three part series discussing the flaws of President Ford's amnesty program. by Mitchell Katz Staff Writer something.” Spectrum Many draft evaders who have gone underground or into exile believe they have broken the law and are “wanted” by the government. But many may be running for no reason because of confusion within the Selective Service System. Although thousands of cases against draft evaders have actually been dropped or were never pursued by the Justice Department, the Department has never made any attempt to notify those evaders affected. Federal law states that local draft boards must give specific reasons for denying anyone conscientious objector (CO) status. According to Robert Musil, a former Army captain who refused to serve in Vietnam and now heads the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors, out of 100,000 applicants for CO status in 1970 alone, only 19,000 were granted. No one knows what happened to the other 81,000 requests, but many young men fled the country because they wrongly feared they were wanted by the government. If they did not receive any reasons for their rejection, and most “did not,” Mr. Musil claims, “it was not they who violated the law, but Selective Service.” Another category of Selective Service had to do with arbitrary refqsa] of claims for deferments and CO status in the face of overwhelming evidence in support of such claims. For example, various claims for medical deferments may have been denied even though they were based on a physician’s signed statement. The law clearly states that Selective Service must provide evidence of its own to support its decisions. Violations ‘Lack something’ A majority of errors were committed by the local draft boards, which are commonly staffed by part-time employees /T\BECK/ who were not fully acquainted with the law. One draft counselor reported that he had been told he would not receive CO status because he “lacked that certain According to him, the reason for all the confusion in Selective Service is that the system was “carefully designed to function badly.” During the late 1960’s, General John Hershey designed and ran the system like it was his “own little fiefdom,” the draft counselor said, claiming it was Hershey who permitted and encouraged the arbitrary character of the local boards by deciding not to interfere with them. “Nothing could have been better suited to produce errors,” he asserted. Fear prosecution The fugitive draft evader should have been able to determine his present status by contacting the Justice Department. However, many evaders feared that if they called the U.S. Attorney’s office to find out the status of their cases, the government would rechcck its files and take further steps towards prosecution. Consequently, the Rev. Barry Lynn of the United Church of Christ threatened to sue the Justice Department under the Freedom of Information Act, to force the Department to release a list of those evaders still being sought. On October 24. 1974, the Department finally acquiesced and released a list with a warning that it was neither complete nor final. After the October release, demands increased for a final list of all pending cases. After Senator Edward Kennedy’s subcommittee on Administrative Practices and Procedures held headings, on the issue. Senator Kennedy ordered the Justice Department to produce such a list. On January 24, 1975, a full four days after the Kennedy deadline, the list was released.

As Mr. Musil pointed out, other bad discharges can be explained to employers as the result of a single incident or harrassment. But the clemency discharge, stamping its holder a deserter and disloyal, will outrage many employers. There is also no chance for the holder of the clemency discharge to appeal to any military review board to upgrade his status. The holder of the UD, however, has the option of appealing for a classification change, although upgrading is strictly regulated. There are other options for the deserter rather than subjecting himself to the Ford program. For years many Army AWOL’s and deserters have been surfacing at a number of bases where they would simply speak to an officer and be given an undesirable discharge, with no questions asked. It is more difficult to do in the other branches of the armed service, however. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has denounced the program as “offensive in its assumptions and outrageous in its implementation,” and has offered free legal counsel to anyone affected by the program. program, but to retain counsel and determine if the government has a strong case. Because the existence of these lists are relatively unknown, an evader who opts for the Ford program may inadvertently be himself to opening unnecessary punishment. Under the Ford program, which the President renewed last week, a deserter who surrenders is put into “alternate service.” When that is completed, his undesirable discharge (UD) is changed to a a clemency discharge. new classification the President’s Bui as stated in clemency discharge shall not bestow entitlement to benefits administered the Veterans by Administration (VA)." The clemency discharge is more restrictive than the UD. In the past, most individuals with UD’s were not denied VA benefits under existing law. but only because of a discretionary decision by the VA.

Security Director Pat Glennon claims that gay students have been congregating in Harriman and Crosby Halls for "illegal and immoral sexual activity." This phrase has a fairly specific connotation, implying a continuous pattern of unethical and unlawful behavior. Yet Mr. Glennon conceded, in an interview last Monday, that the undercover patrols began after one officer was allegedly propositioned in the Harriman bathroom. Although he and assistant Lee Griffin have alluded to other complaints by members of the University staff, neither could cite exactly what they were, suggesting that this program of harassing students is less a reaction to a real problem than a reflection of a discriminatory point of view. . ■ ■ “Rock turns kids to fags" According to Alex Haig Look out goy The Century’s a ploy Concert starts an hour late Can’t find your date Sound comes from orange Suberbian Buffalo Blues Dylan’s in retirement Counting his residuals I’m on the pavement Thinking where the music went crates The man on the radio Good voice no brain says he likes what he’s playing Wants to be another Shane Look out snot Top 40’s a plot Turn the dial Hear the singing crocodile Don’t listen to the Shaving Cream You’ll be puking up bile Elton’s stacking diamonds In a big pile Coming out with “Ragdoll” In a little while They haven’t sold out the gate Don’t touch jail bait Top act makes you wait Don’t know why you saw them live When the album was so great Eat that, cat this a new kick Singing ’bout chicken shit Nutrition you get out of it Real soon, next June No tours, no bucks One big hockey puck Tells you that the culture sucks Look out mole Your finger’s up your hole Get smarter, funny Rock ’n Roll nitwits Living off your money Denver’s on Elvis sings with pursed lips Money belt shakes his hips Watkin’s Glenn’s a big gyp Even drugs are counterfeit The beer’s flat in the keg Heckler breaks Zappa’s leg Mr. Glenhon feels the charges of gay harassment are unfounded, since Security officers have been questioning all men "who do not look like students."

We challenge Sparky to investigate the historical evidence that Jesus of Nazareth was God in the flesh, fulfilled 300 Messianic prophesies in the Old Testament, did indeed rise from the dead, lives today, and has transformed millions of lives. Any honest research on the person of Jesus can result only in praise, not mockery. — Larry Ilardo Nancy Koblich James R. Bostaph Cheryl Wozniak etc. lighting To the Editor.

Friday, 21 February 1975 . , of losers To the Editor I am sick and tired of the multitude of self-centered New Yorkers on this campus putting down the “Queen City,” and her sports teams. I am not what you would call an avid follower of sports, but I know more than enough to rightfully call New York the “City of Losers.” The Knicks, with “stars” like John Gianelli and Hawthorne Wingo, are definately a second division team and probably will fight the “tough" 76’ers for the last playoff berth in the NBA east. When was the last time the Rangers won the Stanley Cup? Was it forty or forty-five years ago? When will the Islanders ever make the playoffs? Maybe this year with the new playoff system designed to allow weaker teams to compete. When willthe Giants or the Jets have a winning season? For the Giants it doesn’t look like if for years to come (they’re still trying to win three games in one season). The 'Mcts have proved that their miracle championship in 1969 was just that; a v ankees, after nine seasons, finally won mira'-' ,uey lost. If you classify the ABA as a more u. major sports league, then you can save some face with the Nets. The Braves, Sabres, and Bills all will make the playoffs and all have realistic hopes of winning their respective league championships. Which is more than I can say for those pitiful New York teams. So go ahead New Yorkers, put down us Buffalo fans, at least we’re rooting for winners! ’• ‘ Alan Seitz . . . Backpage eatura Graphics . Randi Schnur Neil Collins . Jay Boyar Arts — .

The situation kills me, the Administration is coming down' repressively on sex (ok, the fear apparent behind it!). Granted they don’t like what is going on. I mean queers are very disturbing, maybe even threatening. But rather than trying to deal with it on a human level, they close their eyes and come down with a sledge hammer. The effect is to dehumanize and objectify gays. The excuse is, there is a “law” oft the books stating that homosexual sex is “illegal!” A law that defines permissible sex, of where you may stick it and to whom you may stick it to! Okay, it’s a bad, repressive and ludicrous law, but for the Administration to use these laws points out the brutality of how they deal with people. They call out their goon squads to stop the menace of cocksucking! Elliott Klein ��Cowboys and jailbirds Phil Martino, McCoy Tyner, Philly giants here tomorrow Tomorrow night UUAB presents a jazz concert par excellence for novice and enthusiast alike: two Philly-bred giants, Pat Martino and the McCoy Tuner Quartet. Pat Martino (nee Azzara) is generally recognized as one of the best living guitarists. Although he's usually labeled as a jazz musician, his style includes numerous other influences: classical. Eastern and blues, among others. Pat, who first began as a rhythm and blues sideman for the likes of Lloyd Price and Willis Jackson, is well known for his lightning fast riffs and unconventional progressions and patterns. His live performances are guaranteed to leave you breathless. The name McCoy Tyner is almost legendary in jazz circles by this time. McCoy, who also started at age fifteen, began by leading his own seven piece combo in local Philly clubs. Two years later, he met the man with whom he was destined to work for many more years; John Coltrane. Tyner was a member of Coltrane's quintet almost from its inception, and his achievements as that band's pianist are well known. He stuck with the quintet for six years, and during that time became a major force in improvisational piano. He's been on his own since 1965, and has continued to function as one of the most important influences in the jazz world. Both Pat and McCoy have won numerous awards and titles, but that's only natural for musicians of their superlative stature. The folks who brought you Chick Corea and Keith Jarrett have come up with another sure fire combination. There are two shows, (one at 8 p.m. and one at 11 p.m.), so you're doubly at fault if you don't end up in the Fillmore Room tomorrow night. Minnie's (Marx)Boys Minnie's Boys, a musical comedy based on the early life and careers of the Marx Brothers, will be presented by the Buffalo Jewish Center, 787 Delaware Ave., Tuesday, February 25 through Sunday, March 2 at 8:30 p.m. There will be a matinee March 2 at 3 p.m. No performance Friday night, February 28.

Over the rainbow Alice has no real career she dreams of and David's abandonment of his ranch and a stable way of life for someone else's hopeless dream is a cheat. It's even more of a cheat because it misses a chance to comment on the cheat of those old movies. It seems about as sensible and real as the Scarecrow's decision to go with Dorothy to find the Wizard and her way back to Kansas. The supposedly funny yelling sequence in the restaurant when David informs Alice of his being decision Faye Alice to — — her accompany misses the point. It's not that they're yelling across rather, the room that should be nutty at that he's coming along all. A local writer had this to say about Ellen Burstyn as Alice: "Alice becomes Doris Day, slightly modernized to fit the newer times. Doris Day in her speech, mannerisms, Doris Day in her jokes, and in effect, the Doris Day as a mother worst of Doris Day." I agree with her that — — Alice is like Doris there is the same vacuum at the center of her character, the same separation from reality in her plans.

Alice is chasing her long-lost career as a singer; she and Tommy end up for a time in Tuscon, Arizona where she meets rancher David (Kris Kristofferson) who is eventually willing to marry her and go along with her on her hair-brain scheme to be a singer. David's decision to give up his ranch and follow Alice is something like what happened when those sharp career women in the old movies gave up their jobs to settle down with the men they loved, except that the men they loved usually had tangible careers and offered economic Dorothy and Toto — I mean.

After the comic begins to build a reputation and graduates from emceeing strippers at burlesque houses to headlining in his own right, we never get a chance to really settle down and listen to his until the night when he finally legendary act stumbles on clad only in a raincoat and one sock, stoned out of his mind, barely able to find the and, by his people who paid $5 a ticket to see him own admission, is "not funny." We are given very few glimpses of Bruce's occasional brilliance; what we do see is the director's own morbidity reflected in a male version of Diana Ross' ultra-melodramatic - - "brain-of-junkie-turns-to-jello-before-your-very-eyes" routine from Lady Sings the Blues. The viewer becomes the voyeur, and the performer is seen as helplesi victim of our sadism. Lenny Bruce's real-life relationship to his public most often worked the other way. Hot lips Most of the performances are excellent, even if unreal. Valerie Perrine, as Bruce's wife Honey "Hot" Harlowe, is the perfect personification of the self-consciously Jewish comedian's "shiksa goddess," his favorite fantasy come true as "the most beautiful woman I had ever seen in my life." As a stripper and, after months of Lenny's careful tutelage, as junkie. Honey virtually begged to be used by everyone who came near her. Fosse's opening shot shows his attitude toward her immediately: the screen is filled Prodigal Sun from page 11 all updated and taken seriously. It doesn't always work, but it's clever. Ellen Burstyn's performance is best when she's detached from the movie and from her own qoncern with its message; that is, when she's simply being Ellen Burstyn lost in a scene. This happens when she sings, when she's threatened by a monster-lover named Ben (a surprising and good performance by Harvey Keitel) and when she pals around with Alfred Lutter who plays her son. Tommy. The witty, sharp and often gentle banter between Tommy and Alice provides some of the movie's best moments. Lutter is shockingly sophisticated as Tommy and his brilliant reading of writer Robert Getchell's dialogue is just what the film needs to give it an intelligent, comic edge. When Tommy attacks David's taste in music, it's as if Lutter were attacking Kristofferson as a singer and as an actor. Dorothy's sense of alienation — Why? Kristofferson, incidently, deserves the attack even more than David does. You can't believe him when he's angry or even when he's gentle. Why is he there? Tommy's comments are brutally true. His "This town is shit!" remark cuts through the garbage of the town as clearly as Toto's pulling the curtain and revealing the Wizard of Oz's sham, cut through the insincerity of the Emerald City. Even better than Tommy's and Alice's cynical edge is the film's portrayal of the object of that cynicism: The Midwest. Director Martin Scorsese has developed a frightening sense of the empty, dusty, metaphorical Midwest being filled with media banalities. Throw-away Midwest becomes a huge breadbasket make that, wastebasket filled with the worst of American mass cult. Elton John's song "Daniel" is a part of this as is Johnny Carson contemptuous, playing down to his audience. He's Nebraska's success-story so stripped of his wit by TV that he's reduced to funny reflections and gestures; it doesn't matter any more just what he's saying. In this film, we hear "Daniel" and see Carson on a TV screen with the volume lowered so only the inflections and gestures poke through. This garbage set against Alice's and Tommy's intelligence makes its point around the edges of the picture. Scorsese's depiction of this terrifyingly banal culture is social criticism The — — — its best. I don't know whether he had more fun with this theme than he did with the Wizard of Oz parody, but it has more of a point and is, in general, more masterfully executed. He shows what bitterness this environment evokes in intelligent characters and the vinegar humor with which they respond. at A question He makes wonder that you — if intelligent people become like Alice and Tommy what about the others? Vera, a dumb girl who works with Alice in Arizona, is one answer. She's so unaware of her environment so stoned by the rumble of motorcycles and the banalities of trash books that in the middle of a big argument two other characters are having, she can comment in a dreamy voice, "It feels like fall today." Fall indeed. A friend of Tommy's gives another, — — — similar answer. "Mr. Emmet, the science teacher," she tells him, "wears a hair net. Scary. Really scary I" The Emmets on the ant hill of the Midwest are scary, and Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore shows them to us as well as anything else I've seen. It's the "here" in the title that is most important. Plug Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore is playing at the Holiday 3 Theatre. — a close up of her lips long before we are introduced to the rest of her. The couple's crazy relationship bordered on an obsession even more incomprehensible than Bruce's dealings with lawyers or audiences, but Fosse has conducted only the barest of investigations. She was all body to Lenny, and within Lenny's interview format she is all mouth; but Perrine works valiantly at transcending the object-image, very nearly succeeding in clarifying an attraction which neither the director nor the writer bothers to explain. by Only the money talks Stanley Beck as Artie Silver, Lenny's agent, and Jan Miner as his mother were involved in similarly intense love-hate relationships with the comic, neither of which is explored even as perfunctorily as Honey’s. Artie's closing remark that his client's "I really loved the guy" death was certainly tragic but wasn't it wonderful anyway that he could make so much money off the memories, gives more insight into his character than anything else in the film. But what is really frightening about this is the glimpse it gives us into Bob Fosse himself. Apparently he felt a moral responsibility to his subject (after shirking all other related responsibilities) to be honest and cynical too. He left Lenny Bruce's demonically sadistic practical jokes out of his "biography," just as he left out his real satiric genius but at least he lets us in on his own motives, which, of course, makes everything all right. Lenny is being shown at the Amherst and Como — — The Destructors' Murder mayhem - Robert Parrish's The Destructors is a tiredly plotted tale of murder and mayhem. The difference here is that the murders have a muted quality. I remember once watching another Parrish film. In The French Style (adapted from two Irwin Shaw short stories, starring Jean Seberg) and wondering when the pace would pick up and something dramatic would occur. But then I began to notice small details of atmosphere and realized that this was Parrish's main objective — to capture atmosphere. The arbitrary camera set-ups at the outset of The Destructors don't matter what does matter is the mood. Although set in Marseilles (the original title was The Marseilles Contract) the film seems to take place in a vague, mysterious environment of perpetual sunset. The characters are displaced persons, and when one of them (Anthony Quinn) mentions a real place (New Jersey) it's a jolt to our sense of reality. The film was photographed by Douglas Slocombe (who has saved more unsuccessful pictures such as The Great Gatsby).

"How much higher could it go?" is the obvious riposte, still, the fact that the recent wave of books by or about the Marxes has revealed all of the available information about them is something of a milestone. Also Animal Creackers was finally cleared from its legal quagmire, and the closes thing to a major gap in the evaluation of the gleeful anarchists of film was filled with its general release. Like the newer Marx books, many c f the older ones were prompted by the occupancy of the brothers in an unusually bright spotlight.

(The remainder of Groucho and Me devoutly maintains the status quo.) It was at roughly the same time (1960) that Harpo Speaks was originally published; like Groucho GARY SNYDER Turtle Island and Me, it was a collector's item until its present paperback republication. Anyone remotely interested in the Marxes should pounce on the nearest copy because the silent Marx's tale is an utter delight. We're all more familiar than most would like to be with the beast known as the Autobiography. Therein the renowned subject rattles off hordes of unforgettable incidents, unforgettable characters and celebrities with such profusion that they have all barely entered the reader's mind before they exit again. In addition, the studied tone of condescension, and the posture that Vour Obedient Servant is no more worthy of celebrity than the corner grocer invariably smacks of patent insincerity. In the case of Harpo Marx, I am forced to conclude that all of the complimentary platitudes we hear leveled at public figures are true. It may not be kosher for a reviewer to play his instincts and impulses to the degree I have here, but the lack of calculation that is one of the book's most prominent features made me want to approach it in a similar Hill KHl iH liUlll -—^ zmltst' MMirw ■fUKurr spirit. Harpo was an unlettered Jewish kid from New York who had talents for irresponsibility, (though his other brothers sometimes made Harpo look as abandoned as Calvin Coolidge) listening, and for which is exactly how he comes hilarious mime across. Despite Rowland Barber’s stated collaboration, the book is pure Harpo in every way that matters; if not. Barber is the greatest literary Library •Funiirr Sin Fram “FUHUT!" —TlteNew — fake since Clifford Irving. Harpo speaks as a truly modest man. He is disparaging of his own talent, effusive in praise of praiseworthy rivals. ("I would watch a Chaplin picture five or six times over. What an artist!") His stance during his fame of the 1920's and 1930's was that of professional listener; through him, we hear George S. Kaufman, George Bernard Shaw, Dorothy Parker and anyone else he happened to be listening to. To be sure, Harpo's own experiences are far from neglected, with justification, but the book pivots ffD leant i' around him, instead of centering on him. Almost as major a character as the author is Alexander Woolcott, the Falstaffian critic and author who was the model for Kaufman and Hart's Sheridan Whiteside, The Man Who Came To Dinner. Probably Harpo's closest friend, he was the mothily Say Is, She a somewhat 1924, when I’ll constructed musical revue, made them the toast of comedian's guide through the upper-crust of Broadway, Hollywood and the civilized world.

(Let us pause for a reverential silence that's almost half a century they've been grappling Woolcott's pompous, delightful figure casts a shadow with audiences for laughs, with the grossest possible on the book comparable to that he cast on a croquet — court in the sunlight, success.) The earliest Marx literature was prompted by the success of A Night At The Opera and A Day At The Races, and includes a reportedly exhaustive effort by one Kyle Crichton which would not be harder to find if it was secreted in Harpo's coat (note: after two paragraphs, this is the first specific mention of the purported subject of this article. But stay with us, sports fans.) A second wave came on the heels of Groucho's legendary You Bet YourLife series; among them was Groucho's own autobiography, Groucho and Me, "like a blimp at a mooring mast." (And the description of the kind of croquet Woolcott and his cronies played can only be classified as a revelation.) When /'// Say She Is opened in New York, Woolcott said of Harpo: "There should be dancing in the streets when a great clown comes to town, and this man is a great clown." He is also great at revealing the fascinating events of his rich life in a most refreshing way, and Harpo Speaks should provoke some spontaneous festival in its own right. —Bill Maraschiello Sickle weekend Drug addiction, neurotic ambition, and blood will be the featured subjects in the Conference Theatre this weekend the UUAB Fine Arts Film Committee presents Born to Win, The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravits, and Theatre of Blood.

A NEW DIRECTIONS PAPERBOOK. $1.95 Turtle Island by Gary Snyder (New Directions, paper) Turtle Island is Gary Snyder's ninth book and perhaps his finest portrait of man and his environment. One experiences a sense of the rhythm of the existence which the poet leads, as well as the tempo of nature the beat of life. Much of the beat is mechanical; man in the seventies becomes a robot in his dealings with the earth. His poetry is replete with contrast, the constant tension between — man and nature, and between man and man. In the essay, "The Wilderness," he says, "I wish to be a spokesman for a realm that is not usually represented either in intellectual chambers or in the chambers of government." Further on he states, ", . the voice that speaks to me as a poet what Westerners have called the Muse, is the voice of nature herself whom the ancient poets called the great goddess, the Magna Mater." . This is the essence of his poetry. It speaks to each reader in lyrical and nobility of Turtle Island (the name ancient rusticity, of the beauty inhabitants nf this continent gave to the land). Too often, however, man is deaf. His commodity-consciousness has made him play a deadly game. In "Mother Earth: Her Whales,” Snyder tells us as much. The whales turn and glisten, plunge and sound and rise again Hanging over the subtly darkening deeps Flowing like breathing planets in the sparkling whorls of living Ugh t And Japan quibbles for words on what kind of whales they can kill? Snyder's poetry continually presents the image of man too far removed from primitive earth. Man does not comprehend his surroundings. He refuses to believe in nature's "authentic Intelligence." "There is more information of a higher order of sophistication and complexity stored in a few square yards of forest than there is in all the libraries of mankind," Snyder says in "The Wilderness." Turtle Island offers a realistic portrait of the self-destructive conflict between man and environment. In "Rain In Alleghany" he tells us, Have some beer and rain And in the poem "It Pleases,' Far above the dome of the capitol It's true! A large bird soars The images are antithetic the reality behind them is the source of — man's anxieties His disregard for the authentic intelligence (“biomass") of Nature results in a destructive chain which will ultimately come back upon him. Man stripmines to become self-sufficient fuelishly, but fails to comprehend the catastrophic future he assures himself with such mole-like myopia. Gary Snyder is not a prophet of doom, however. He presents options and suggests the possibility not only of coexistence with the biosphere, but of a true understanding and regeneration of the symbiotic affiliation primitive man had with Turtle Island. -William E.

Perhaps it is because it is so intrinsic to one's being that it cannot be neatly isolated, categorized or defined. Yet, the artistic sensibility frequently manages to grasp this spirit effectively and with simple means. By the use of one gesture, a twitch of a muscle, or a change in color or light the complex emotions and tensions inherent within the human spirit are generated to the viewer. A painter must work from scrap, building images up from the basic elements and paint material itself and infusing them with part of his human spirit, lest they be just lifeless shapes. For the photographer, the images already exist waiting to be discovered, isolated and presented to the viewer to convey what ideas and spirit they hold. It is his discerning vision and imagination which chooses the most effective moment within the whole with which to express the apex of existence at that time, allowing it to live again. Every human Not human only are specific moments of activity, thought and emotion caught by the eye of photo journalist Mickey Oster reicher, but a humanity pervades throughout the whole exhibit. This exhibit, simply titled "People," which is showing through February 28 in Hayes Hall Lobby, presents the viewer with an assortment of hu man moods and emotions from anticipation to surprise, excitement to concen tration, joy to depression with which to identify and relate to. His people are at once individuals and all of humanity. Osterreicher's photographs are dynamic due to their clarity and forceful design, which focuses in on the human element and its rela tions to others, to its envi ronment, to a specific situa- tion, or to itself. Through their composition, where one figure is in relation to another within the pictorial plane and from what viewpoint the scene is taken, Osterreicher emphasizes the emotional effects of the specific images. Urgency permeates a photograph of a team of firemen trying to save an old man's life not only through the expressions, but through the circular formation the figures create and the way the scene is cropped to —continued on page 16— —Photos by Mickey Osterrelcher/Courler-Express Prodigal Sun Friday, 21 February 1975 The Spectrum Page fifteen . . �■*> Cooney, Stringband in town Michael Cooney, protean standardbearer of the tradition of bringing folk music into the hands of the people, will be appearing with the Canadian country-folk group Stringband in the UUAB Coffeehouse tonight in the Fillmore Room and tomorrow in the Rathskeller, both at 9 p.m. In addition, Cooney will be conducting a free folk music workshop, through Life Workshops, in Norton Union's Room 232 tomorrow afternoon beginning at 1 p.m. (University community members can register for the Room 223 workshop at the Life Workshops Norton.) Calling Michael Cooney "a one-man folk festival" is off the mark. He draws his repertoire from a broad variety of musical traditions blues, American and British traditional folk, music from still other countries, even soda pop commercials. He plays a gang of instruments (settling, at the moment, on 6- and 12-string guitar, banjo, not too wide — concertina, harmonica and kazoo). "One-man folk festival" applies in another way. Cooney is firmly committed to the idea of music as something people can do themselves. The folk festival, at best, is a gathering where everyone both listens and participates in the music. Michael's song-swapping column in Sing Out! magazine, his long-standing connection with the Mariposa Folk Festival, even his willingness to do a workshop when he could easily have done his two nights and gone, only give some indication of how much this means to him. Clyde Tinsdale, in the notes to Cooney's Folk-Legacy album, says "Wherever people are singing, Michael Cooney is there, singing not for himself, but to share in the music." How do people like Michael Cooney? Well, listen to the clamorous voices of those who saw him at the Mini-Folk Festival last November and yelled "Bring that man back again!" Next question. .. . Broudy, Lou and Sally Killen: country-western to rock n' roll among some of the others he sang. Saul's choice of songs reflected his own experiences. He accompanied himself on guitar for his first selection, a traveling song by Tom Paxton entitled, "I Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound." He also explained the history behind some of his tunes. "The Midnight Special," for instance, is a prison-train song. Prisoners who sang this song believed that if the train's headlight shined upon their faces, they would soon be free. Saul's pleasant personality certainly enhanced his show. He was quite flexible when someone shouted out, "I've Been Working On The Railroad" he stopped everything to sing it with us. He welcomed audience participation, spending quite a bit of time teaching some of his harmonica techniques, such as blues harp, which involves the bending of notes, and straight harp for playing melody. The thoroughly enjoyable set ended with Bob Dylan's "You Ain't Going Nowhere." - Lou and Sally Louis Killen is an Englishman, although born of Irish parents. He spent many years working with the Clancy Brothers, an Irish folk group, and actively participated on the original crew of the Clearwater (an ecology project worked on with Pete Seeger and other folksingers). Lou's wife Sally was born in America. Her voice is gentle yet firm. Their two harmonizing voices blended so beautifully that at times the audience was almost in a trance. They sang North Umbrian and Shetland tunes (from England), along with broadside ballads, sea shanties, drinking and hunting songs, songs of women and more. Lou and Sally are warm people and they transmitted their warmth to the audience through their performance. Both tell stories of interest to go along with their songs. Sally sang a song called "The Female Drummer," in which everyone thought the drummer was a male. She turned out to be a woman. Sally explained why in the "old days" it was not rare for a woman to dress up as a man and go to sea on a sailing ship to be with her lover. Louis played the English ‘Concertina (button accordion) for instrumentals and accompaniment. The other instrument used was a six-hole tin whistle sounding much like a fife. Louis used the tin whistle to accompany Sally on a pretty tune called, "The Coo Coo." They closed the evening with a beautiful anti-war seaman’s hymn. The audience obviously enjoyed themselves.

Among those who can give informed opinions on Stringband is Canadian Composer magazine: "Stringband is showing that it is possible to present friendly, warm and home-made music in a friendly, warm and home-made manner." The Toronto Star's Peter Goddard feels that they're "probably the least professional and most charming folk group around." And, mirable dictu, even crusty old Judith Crist thinks that they are "absolutely entertaining." The keynote of this weekend's Coffeehouse, I guess, is "home-made." Michael Cooney can give you a hand at doing it yourself, and Stringband can make you feel a bit more at ease about the whole thing. And the music they make is worth your listening.

Osterreicher UUAB Coffeehouse Saul Broudy, a superior harmonica player from Philly preceded Lou and Sally Killen's performance at last Friday evening's coffeehouse, with a large repertoire of songs ranging from country and western all the way to early rock and roll. Railroad work songs, cowboy songs and prison songs were and fiddler Ben Mink, plus assorted friends, neighbors and lovers (a dozen or so helped out on their independently produced album). What they do is about half traditional folk songs and fiddle tunes, half originals by either Bob or —continued from page 15— ... focus in on this compositional arrangement. The surrounding, environment is used in many of the photographs to lend a dynamic effect; the photograph of a football player sitting in isolated contemplation as the empty stadium seats unfold behind him being just one example. A similar use of isolation attains a humorous and paradoxical effect where a boater docks his boat oblivious to the limp body washed ashore. It is the fusion of these two contrasting human existences with the image of an empty, but calm, beach and lake that creates a notion of disbelief in the viewer. The absence of discernible background, with the lens totally focused on the human face creates a very moving portrait of the human condition in Osterreicher's photograph of a firefighter. Water drips down his face, an expression of exhaustion asserts itself along with a spirit of dedication due to the effective composition of the whole. Osterreicher reveals his strong sense of design in the photo of a coast guard diver attaching lines to a sea plane. Here, the ropes become linear diagonal elements that forcefully cut across the pictorial plane, not only forcing the viewer into it, but heightening the atmosphere of tension. The sweeping movement of the water alto creates a restlessness and anxiety. Osterreicher not only documents events, but does so with a sensitivity towards the overall spirit, employing design and compositional elements for expressive purposes. Force of despair This expressive use of background, lighting and viewpoint reaches its summit in three very moving and masterful works. Desolation descends upon the photograph of a man walking towards a seemingly abandoned amusement park, the wind flapping his coat. By taking the shot from the back a spirit of dejection and impersonality is transmitted to the viewer. He is also forced to experience the "uphill battle" of the man's tired body against the wind and thus, identify with his resignation. A man is staring out into the bright daylight as his dog silently sits staring at his back from the dimly lit hallway. A mood of sadness and silent grief permeates from these two images, one seeming to mimic the other. Contrasting light and dramatic viewpoint emit a tense quiet throughout, infesting every object within the house, especially the stairway, with an eerie silence. Wrinkled, tired, aged hands futilely grasping for puzzle pieces creates a forceful statement on life in one hauntingly lighted photograph. This work, with its concentration upon the diagonally thrusted limbs, the numerous scattered puzzle pieces and mute darkness sends a chill up the viewer's spine. For those hands are not hands of a specific individual, but of all of humanity. It is in these works that Osterreicher transcends the documentation and illustrations of photojournalism and touches upon the timeless, universal themes of art. Prodigal Sun �RECORDS Brian Protheroe Pinball (Chrysalis) Wouldn't ya know it? Here I finally act like a rock critic and finad a totally obscure new talent (at least, he's obscure to me) to dazzle my audience with, and what happens? Our latest "underground" station plays it like crazy. Well, I guess it just proves they have good taste. Maybe some of you haven't listened to WBUF yet though, so I'll tell you about the album anyway. Wait a minute. Maybe I'll do a socio-musical trip first (it'll tie in, I promise). It started with protest songs. Very serious. When the realism became too much to bear, psychedelia hit the scene and we dwelt in Strawberry Fields for awhile, groovin' and smilin'. But the home fires we had left burning went untended too long and blew up in our faces. We were left facing the apocalypse, and it became the theme, from Deep Purple to Diamond Dogs. (Simplistic, but you get the point.) Pinball, by Brian Protheroe, may well be the latest sign of the evolving musical times. Having figuratively survived the triumph and subsequent downfall of both good and evil, the rock world is left with what? Protheroe's answer is a sense of blase humor, punctuated with a slick, inventive production job, full of subtle puns and jokes, both musical and lyrical. In one sense, the album is a survey. One by one, Protheroe takes traditional song forms and rock cliches and thumbs his nose at them. "The Moon Over Malibu," for instance, is a take off on the sort of slow ballads the Mills Bros, did in the forties. A Hawaiian guitar strums slow mellow chords as a male chorus sings in a dreamy sort of barberuntil you realize that the shop quartet style. It's all very straight harmonies are just the slightest touch out of key as the chorus sings the word "harmonize." And the expression in the voice-over is just a little — too insincere. "Interview/Also In The Limelight" is a neat piece of satire. The lyrics are like bits and snatches of an ostensible interview of a rock star, and they become more and more ridiculous as the song progresses, until the meaning dissolves into complete absurdity. love to play like / love to He Because it's a degree of truth And play is a degree of yourself / think flying is me. / may be, — ... an excellent album.) But lyric-wise, this (and most Strawbs albums for that matter) would have to be considered corny. David Cousins, brainchild and main force behind the group, has written some very schlocky lyrics in his time but on this album, he is at . his worst: / — Lady Smile I'll see you in a little while Lemon Lady sweet and sour You have me in your lemon power Another bad point is a very poor track called “Where Do You Go (When You Need A Hole To Crawl In)." It is quite harmful to the overall sound of the album. It is The Strawbs' first attempt at “Boogie a-la-Cat Stevens ("Another Saturday — although the "bubblegum" sound cannot be denied, the move from the depression left by the previous track makes this song essential to the well-balanced of the album. As in every album, however, there are a couple of genuine flaws which cannot be overlooked. (Do not mistake these criticisms as any sort of disgust with The Strawbs on the whole, I think Ghosts is Night . . .") and it fails miserably. Despite the flaws, if you're a Strawbs' fan, you'll be delighted with Ghosts. If you're a Strawbs' novice, you'll quickly learn to overlook the basically Phil Everly Phil's Diner (Pye) Phil Everly has to be recognized as one of the pioneers of rock 'n roll. As one half of the Everly Brothers, he had dozens of hit records during the late fifties and up to the Beatles era. Many post-rock and roll musicians, including the Beatles, acknowledge the Everly Brothers as a major Influence Their sound was a mixture of courty and western and rock and roll. Songs like "Dream," "When Will I Be Loved," and the classic "Wake Up Little Susie," are considered rock standards Two years ago, fed up with their inability to get past the Las Vegas lounges, they decided to split up. In the time since, Phil has has a late night music show, "In Session," but Don Everly has yet to be heard from. This album is the first itcord Phil's made since the split, it's encouraging compared to the general quality of the rest of today's music. Phil Everly hasn't really changed (• aice still has the same soft, solemn sound it her back in the fifties. Most of the songs are soft ba Is but there saying — nature I don't want you to get the idea contrary, the music itself is extremely sophisticated and refreshing. Protheroe is no musical simpleton. Most of the songs are written in more than one time code ("Money Love" goes from 4/4 to 7/8), which gives them very catchy accents (i.e., beats). The chord patterns and melody lines are unique and pleasing. As mentioned before, the production on this album is really excellent: the most imaginative I've heard in a long time. Applause goes to producer Del Newman who has really created ten very different mood pieces. Like Protheroe's sense of humor, Newman's taste is also very subtle. He throws in subliminal touches that enhance the feel of the songs immeasurably: a slightly off time piano, a faint "meow" after the word "cat," or a guitar that slowly moves from right to left speaker as it descends a musical scale. His instrumentation is also versatile, using but not abusing a large range: cabasas and gourds for Latin touches, strings and horns for big band sounds, and a moog, usually not for any sustained musical line, but only to add an occasional wierd noise in the right place. I'm not sure who is responsible for the vocal harmonies, but they also excell. The basic third or fifth over the melody line, which is where most groups leave off, is just a starting point for Protheroe Besides a repertoire of do-weets, sbo-wahs and de- de- deeps, which are faintly audible in a number of songs (better listen with the head phones), Protheroe uses counterpoint very successfully in a number of songs, most notably "Pinball" and "Interview." "Pinball," the leading single in England, is a fitting title for the album. The song, in mood, music and lyrics, perfectly captures the post-sixties depair some of us are laboring under. However amusing the disc that it's only a joke. On the Strawbs Ghosts (A&M Records) What does one call an album that is simultaneously spooky and romantic to the point of being corny heavy and light? The Strawbs call it Ghosts. Ghosts concerns itself with two entirely different themes: despair and love. The opening tracks on sides one ("Ghosts") and two ("The Life Auction") deal with a spooky, blase, distorted sense of reality. "The Life Auction," which is quite accurately subtitled, "Impressions of Southall from the Train," opens with a verse recited by the group like witches over a brewing cauldron. As the last part of the verse explains: A Iimp, polluted flag Flutters sadly in.its death throes While crippled trees in leg irons Wearily haul themselves Through another diluted-acid day The next verse titled, "The Auction" describes the auctioneering of a human body. The listener cannot help but be left quite depressed, with the "impression of Southall from the train." The song, which attempts to evoke a gruesome sense of reality, achieves its end successfully. The title track is also wonderfully dismal, and the listener is tempted to sympathize when Dave Cousins sings: . . May you never cross the line hope your dreams are not like mine. The Strawbs also succeed with the other train of thought expressed in this album, love. On side one, is basically an Irish jig the cut, "Lemon Pie," perfectly placed after "Ghosts" to bring the listener out of his gloom. The song is basically an Irish jig. On side two, the same thing is done with "Don't Try To Change Me." This song is a nice pop tune and And I've run out of pale ale And I feel like I'm in jail And my music bores me once again And I've been on the pinball And no longer know all And they say that you never know when you're insane. / The good old days of our collective childhood are gone for sure. While Pinball is ultimately pessimistic, the humor is what saves it and —I/Villa Bassen us from insanity. mild imperfections of the album and LOVE IT!!!i —Gerald Maltz — that he's been around the music scene for so seen so many changes take place, yet everything is just a "new old song" to him. It's really enjoyable if you’re familiar with the fifties rock stars like Buddy Holly or Jerry Lee Lewis. The song ends with the chorus singing different parts of old songs. many years and PHIL EVERIY are one or two up tempo tracks. On "We're Running Out," Eveiiy tries to be political by sounding off about the energy shortage. This isn't really his bag and it shows He tries to make a point of how we're running out of oil, but using a happy melody for this sad message, he fails miserably. In "Summershine," Everly makes a habit of constantly repeating the chorus "Shine, summershine, shine on me" until the song gets on nerves. "Old Kentucky River" is a lush ballad of childhood reflections. It's really beautiful. The final track, "New Old Song" is probably the best song Everly has done in over 15 years. He mentions the various artists that were big during the Everly Brothers' heyday. After a long orchestrated intro, a chorus starts what could easily be the beginning of hundreds of fifties songs. Phil begins by your yOOWf iff" J all meshed together. Phil alludes to his own past by singing "Dream," in the background. On the whole, the album is refreshing. It's definitely contemporary, despite Everly's distinct style. He has wisely chosen to remain with his roots and unlike many fifties stars, has not redone his old hits with everything the same but the lyrics. He has progressed musically with the times. After almost 20 years in music, Phil Everly remains an original and creative musician, with a flair for making good music. —Steven Brieff p <■<1 passport photos; grad school applications, med school applications, law school applications; ID and test photos 3 photos; $3 ($.50 each additional with original order) open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. (no appointment necessary) all photos available on Fridays Friday, 21 February 1975 .

Wolf Department of English One-sided reporting To the Editor. with competence and comprehensiveness; with the development of specific skills (of Greek or theoretical physics, Chaucer or microbiology) within a generally, but exactly, stated set of goals. We are not so much standing at a crossroads as we are being pulled between the competing claims of the future: between negative and positive valuations of technology; between the possibilities of a unified world and a retrenched belief in realpolitik 4, between ethnic and shared culture; between the demise of literary and humanistic culture and its renewed image on P.B.S. (The Ascent of Man and Civilization we are being pulled between these and series) other divided interests. And we are moving as well into world-changing concepts and technologies not unlike the transformations of Bacon and Galileo in the early 17th century: an increased understanding of the universe through radio astronomy, the full deciphering of the genetic code, an augmented application of cybernetics to our everyday lives. We are obliged as educators to come to some fundamental decision about the imagined future of the University in the light of intellectual and technological history, the history of our students, the actual resources of the University, and the best thinking available to us by those among us who are interested in education as something more than a field and sinecure; but we have not fulfilled this obligation. Should we offer a general program, with a true rigor of independent and tutorial study, in a setting of serious thinking and colloquy? Should we offer a set of intellectual tools and comprehending ideas in the context of a program of study or should we go on ducking the past and blinking the future? Or are even these terms too heroic for those devoted to operational procedures, costs, accountabilities and bibliographic preening? It is tru£ that this University tried to adapt too specifically to the needs of students and society in the 1960’s, and that rock-mania and a sense of political apocalypse became a conduit for philistinism and reaction. But this does not justify this faculty’s and administration's willingness to ride out the 1970’s in the hope that we will, at least, gel through it, that the bad dream of upheaval will not recur if we are careful enough not to dream at all. More than a new campus, we need an intellectual and moral identity, an idea for this more or less University. Until there is an idea understood, if not agreed upon we will have only a motto, good for letterhead but not much else. But ideas are commitments and may invite criticism, may offend interest groups in an out of the University; and, to paraphrase a version of George Orwell, the notion that our education should have nothing to do with an idea of a university is itself an idea. From 1965 to 1970, UB set a pace for educators throughout the United States. Distinguished teachers and progressive administrators came from advanced graduate and professional schools to stake a claim on the Niagara Frontier for the future of education in America. For the past five years, however, we have been living down this brief, incendiary period and building a future indistinguishable from the anonymous past of the old UB. For the past five years, the aggressive and pastoral dream of the 1960’s has not let administrators and faculty sleep long and well enough to imagine special conditions of intellectual nurture and advancement. Absence of conflict is the preferred state for those who administer this University, and for those who have advanced no concept of general education having significant impact on either students or faculty. If asked to name the center of an undergraduate, UB education, I would be at a loss to give a meaningful response, as would everyone, 1 think, except those who believe that fulfilling a major is a sufficient basis for enlightenment at the end of the 20th century. In a University like ours, without claim to an identifiable past or an embedded set of guiding attitudes, a failure of intellectual coherence is corrosive and damaging. It represents, moreover, a failure of administrative and faculty nerve to choose a course for the University except one which avoids those tremors that brought American universities (o a creative and destructive pitch in the Viet Nam years. Most faculty and administrators were relived to walk away from the rubble and rabble (real and imagined) in spring 1970, with salaries intact (some improved), tenure secure, Albany appeased, UB Council placated, power battened, and dissidents shunted off to remote communes and other invisible outposts of meditation and unemployment. But our survival, though important, is not enough. Without a recognizable past and a clear commitment to program, we can be only another upwardly mobile institution justifying itself through budget requests and Chamber of Commerce cliches. Despite the emergence of some colleges tailored to special interest groups, our University is defined essentially by the strength of departments, programs within departments, and, as always, the quest (or prestige at all levels throughout the “system” prestige through publishing, research commissions and awards. This is a long-term, elusive and Quixotic goal for SUNY at Buffalo. We need something more.

I don’t know where to begin straightening out it’s such a mess. Well, 1 guess your story (Feb. 19) with my own feelings. I’m disappointed I do know and, in the last analysis, bored. Weary of, once again, the usual turn of events. For two weeks now a group of gay people and other civil libertarians have been working hard, ferreting out an inordinate number of sordid details, to bring to public attention a pattern of highly questionable, and some grossly illegal activities by undercover campus cops. These activities (e.g., — — - — . — - - — first of a series of Private bias To the Editor suspect that whatever things are going on are in Mr. Glennon’s own head his fears, his disgust, his sense of immorality. (I must say that I’ve walked through the basement of Harriman many times in the last year on the way back from the Art Library and I haven’t seen any “thing” going on.) For those who aren’t gay, this may seem like a silly but unspeakable practices going trivial matter on behind bathroom partitions. But I think the matter is very serious because it involves a police unit exercising its own private judgment of “illegal and immoral acts” and proceeding from there to what looks suspiciously like entrapment and the general infringement of basic civil liberties. While it may be too soon on this campus to envisage Campus Security intimidating other and more political kinds of groups just because they’ve decided to harass the gay community, it’s not too hard to see that kind of extension. That’s the whole point about making sure that even the cops respect the laws of evidence and inference; and it’s also the point about The Spectrum making sure that it doesn’t just report without some deeper probing the flippant assertions of Campus Security about “unidentified” propositioners and “things” going on. — There’s something very disturbing about The Spectrum article (Feb. 19) on Campus Security’s surveillance of Harriman and Crosby. On the one hand, the article says that “illegal and immoral” activities have taken place in the basements of these buildings and hence that Campus Security has been forced to patrol the area. But if you look more closely at the article, the only substantiation for those illegal activities turns out to be Campus Security itself, and in very tenuous phrasing; in fact, since “no specific complaints” have come from the University Community, the only actual “incident” in the whole business is the alleged propositioning of one Campus Security officer by an unidentified flying object. And that is strange; if it was indeed an officer who was propositioned, certainly he ought to have made an arrest of the guilty party for that nebulous charge of “loitering for purposes of deviant sexual intercourse.” And then we’d have a specific unimpeachable instance of something illegal, an instance that could be taken through the whole legal process. But nothing like that seems to have taken place. No one else is said to have complained about anything to anyone. So from Mr. Glennon’s murky phrase (“it’s a thing we know has been going on”), I arbitrary and wholesale checking of ID’s, roughing up and attempted entrapment of students and others) although directed against gay males, jeopardize the civil liberties of every one of us. Gay people, for a change, have been taking the offensive, investigating and organizing openly against the “illegal and immoral activities” (to use a favorite phrase of Pat Glennon, Director of Campus Security) of the police. That’s the news (and, to my mind, it is very good). But your front-page story turns that news upside down, reporting most of it in the words and from the point of view of the police themselves. (The exact count is four paragraphs quoting or paraphrasing gays and civil libertarians, eight paragraphs devoted to the Campus Security version, four paragraphs mixed.) Your story makes it appear that it is not policement but gay people who have been doing something illegal, thereby putting an oppressed and, until recently, invisible minority once again on the defensive. That is the misleading effect of your story in general. Now I shall list particulars. 1) The first paragraph states that “Campus Security officers have been patrolling the basement of Harriman Library and Crosby Hall in response to reports that gay males were meeting there for sexual activities.” This is deceptive. “In response to reports” clearly means more than one and implies, at least to e\ery reader I’ve spoken to, that these reports were made by ordinary persons in the University or town to officers of Campus Security. But reading further, we learn from Mr. Glennon himself that “there have been no specific complaints from members of the University.” Why then such a large-scale undercover operation? It seems to me that Campus Security (forever complaining about being “understaffed”) should be made to concentrate, instead, on acting upon specific complaints against e.g., specific individuals for specific illegal acts recent molestations and rapes of women on the Amherst Campus. 2) We (the group of gay people and other civil libertarians already mentioned) possess signed statements by UB students testifying to the following: one student was roughed up, and a valuable piece of his property damaged, by members of Security who’d stopped and questioned him in Harriman basement; at least two students were warned by members of Security “never again to return to Harriman Library” (though President Ketter is the only person with such authority, and he stated publicly in Haas Lounge on February 18 that he hasn’t exercised it in this case); a member of Security in plain clothes unsuccessfully attempted, by exposing his penis and other suggestive gestures, to entrap a student into committing an illegal sexual act in the men’s room in Harriman basment; 1 myself was threatened by three officers with arrest if I “revealed their identity as members of Campus Security to anyone else.” 3) According to your story, Mr. Glcnnon believes that charges of police harassment of gay males are “unfounded since Security officers have questioned all men ‘who did not look like students,’ something it routinely does.” His statement deceives by omission. You should have asked: “Whom else have you questioned?” We now possess signed testimony by UB students who very much “look like students” (at least in terms of age, hair style, dress and armloads of books) as to their having been arbitrarily stopped and questioned by Security offiers in the basement of Harriman Library. (By the way, the offices, classrooms, corridors, and men’s room in Harriman basement are used by a wide cross-section of the University community. Most faculty members and administrators don’t “look like students.” Do Security officers also “routinely” stop and question them ?) 4) Your story states: “Those ‘people’ have congregated in Harriman and Crosby for the purpose of ‘illegal and immoral sexual activity,’ Mr. Glennon said.” Why is “people” in quotation marks? This - Robert Newman Associate Professor Department of English may seem like a minor point, but it isn’t. It reveals strong anti-gay bias by either Mr. Glennon or your reporter, or both. To be sure, this isn’t surprising, given the pervasive homophobia of our society, but 1 somehow expected better. Burton Weiss Program in American Studies and Tolstoy College Frday, 21 February 1975 .

Dance Theatre performed for an hour and forty-five minutes on the Studio Arena stage last Monday night, and at the conclusion of the program, about half the audience stood up to applaud. For others of us, it was a rather long hour and fbrty-five minutes that had moments of real the opening dance “Roots” and the excitement closing number, “Thank You, Jesus” were mostly but the greater part of the evening successful either languished in uncreditable “high energy” or simply repeated itself. Judicious selection would have improved the program. May I put out a call: who will tell the Bottom of the Bucket, BUT. . . what is good and what isn’t? The Buffalo audiences won’t. They applaud anything. — — Many-faceted Fagin The show also had a hometown feel to it, suggesting an examination of just how much to concede to a group that makes no pretentions of professionalism.

Buffalo audience would do with the Alvin Ailey Company, for instance, who never had to excuse technical deficiency to affirm “black anatomy, life styles and black aesthetics.” Hope All comparisons are odious. One simply hopes that several of the more talented members of this young dance theatre will not be limited to developing Mr. Fagin’s misconceptions of what he is doing. The evening was called There’s a Meetin Here tonight of three culture and all mankind and included Mr. Fagin’s poetry between the eight dance numbers. I wonder if the company was ready to bring all of mankind together without doing it some injustice. The poems were handled in such a way as to make it difficult to appreciate that some were better than others. The first few, performed by Deirdre Eli, made definite statements, but as the show progressed, the poems were simply put out there, verbal tap dance in the interlude while the dancers changed, and again the quality of the performances varied greatly. Some of the poems could not even be heard. Finally, it was not clear why these particular poems were part of this show at all except perhaps to give Mr. Fagin a chance to “display” his work. ’ - & / %D eOflKD« V — Choreographer, Costume Designer, Director and Poet, absorbed all the petentions the company could possibly have. He writes that his dance theatre “is involved in creating dance forms with emphasis on rhythmic structure, high energy levels, torso as opposed to limb, and volume or mass in dance not line, or at least a line based on black anatomy, life styles and black aesthetics.” Yet Mr. Fagin’s choreography makes broad use of the classical and modern dance idiom and his explanation seems to be more an excuse for his dancer’s technical deficiencies and his own choreography than a clarification of the direction he is moving in. His dancers use their arms and feet very poorly, and one hopes that his problem would be addressed in the company classes rather than disguised behincf mysterious talk of a new “black line.” If this fledgling company received such a response at this point in their development, one wonders what a - Passport/Application Photos UNIVERSITY PHOTO 355 Norton Hall Tues., Wed., Thurs.: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. 3 photos for f 3 (t.50 per additional, All mankind?

And the piece called “We Are Somebody" never came together as a whole. Much of the movement seemed arbitrary and undisciplined aitd could not be redeemed by the thematic intention.

Weakest The one dance that Mr. Fagin did not choreograph was the weakest in the show, and posed no threat to his artistic supremacy within the company. His stage direction of the dramatic interludes between the dancing were glaringly mishandled. His poetry readers had projection problems, his staging seemed to have no focus or organization at all. Perhaps an assistant direction with some theatre experience would help. And there are certainly choreographers who would like to work with this group of budding dancers, particularly with several of the men, who were quite strong. 1 hope that the Bottom of the Bucket, BUT. . . will open itself to other artistic directions.

One quick-thinking shyster has discovered a sure-fire way to win the hearts of bankers, school admissions staffs and personnel officers: impersonate a Harvard honors graduate. A man who claimed to be John Q. Johnson III, a 1973 Harvard honors graduate, successfully enrolled in a highly selective business school program, gained admission to two doctoral programs, worked in two banks as a management trainee, took out a $3000 bank loan and received a $5000 educational grant all under his false identity, according to the Harvard Crimson. The imposter, besides claiming a Harvard degree, also said he was a member of the 1972 U.S. Olympic track team and a Vietnam War veteran who had been decorated four times. “He had a file of references that was unbelievable,” said one of the bank officers who hired the bogus Johnson. The real Johnson, neither an - however, became suspicious of the Johnson an bogus during interview in December and tipped off the dean of students at the Chicago business school to the possibility of fraud. 'double-checking After records with Harvard transcript officials who had routinely been supplying the transcripts of the real Johnson to whomever the fake Johnson had requested the dean confronted the imposter with charges of entering the - - school under false pretenses. After the the charges, denying left the school. impersonator “He was just too good to be true,” said the Mobil officer. The ruse, however, apparently continues. Harrah’s Hotel and Casino of Las Vegas, Nv. recently called one of the imposter’s former employers to see if the employer would vouch for one “James Q. Johnson,” a man the coincidentally fitting imposter’s description. - nor a veteran, is enrolled as a graduate currently student in political science at Stanford University. Olympian Confusion “I’m a little confused by the whole thing,” Johnson said. In an ironic commentary on corporate hiring practices and graduate admissions policies, the Crimson revealed that the real Johnson is white while the imposter was black. A personnel officer involved in the affair said one reason he did not check out the phoney Johnson’s credentials as carefully as usual was that his company was “very anxious” to hire such a “well-qualified'black man.” The imposter began work as a trainee for the management Mellon Bank in Pittsburgh, Pa. over the past summer and promptly took out a $3000 employee loan. He then left Mellon Bank in December and was hired as a management trainee for the First National City Bank in New York. Although the impersonator has already been admitted to doctoral programs at Cornell University, N.Y. and the Carneige-Mellon Institute, Pa., First National helped to make-believe Johnson to admission to the gain University of Chicago business school. Dean tipped off The New York bank then reportedly offered the imposter a $5000 a year grant to offset the cost of the Chicago graduate program.

Students are advised to call Action Line for information. There will be no grand opening. Sports and Religion Buffalo’s basketball team hosts Athletes-in-Action (AIA) tomorrow night. Unlike most teams today, AIA is a team with a purpose. Founded in 1966 as the athletic ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ, AIA travels to college campuses throughout the country presenting the message of Jesus Christ, in conjunction with the athletic contest. AIA is not new to the Buffalo campus. The Bull wrestlers ran into a strong AIA squad and suffered a 25-15 defeat two years ago. Besides basketball and wrestling. AIA sponsors teams in weightlifting, track, gymnastics and flag football, and is also active in tennis, baseball and golf. Wrestlers honored The Buffalo Wrestling Bulls enjoy a national ranking (16th in the country) and a regional honor (fifth in the East). As a team, the Bulls have beaten several strong teams, but their reputation is based largely on their three big stars. Jim Young, Emad Faddoul and Charlie Wright have compiled a composite dual meet record of 49-2-2. Recently this trio was recognized by the National Mat News for their individual talents. Faddoul, a 177 pounder, and Wright, honored as heavyweight though he will go down to 190 for the post-season tournaments, were selected second team All-East. Young was picked on the third team. As the Bulls enter the tournament part of the season tomorrow, this trio carries with them Buffalo’s hopes for national placewinners. Competition is brutal at that level, but if the NationalMat News ratings are valid, these three might return from the national championships with Buffalo’s first national wrestling hardware. Women’s Basketball The brutal competition not only applies to high level wrestling, but most inter-collegiate sports. Women’s basketball is a refreshing exception. The girls no doubt want to win, but their attitude is tparkedly different. “1 really enjoyed watching them,” said Spectrum Staff Writer Paige Miller after the women’s loss to Genesee Community College Monday night. Miller usually covers the men’s team for The Spectrum. Of course, part of the fun stems from the fact that Dr. Thomas does not subscribe to the winning-is-everything philosophy. The girls don’t have the pressure to win that most of the men’s teams seem to have, and although this doesn’t provide for the highest calibre of basketball, it does make it more fun to watch. Tonight, the women cagers take on Cornell at Clark Hall at 7 p.m. Squash title The University’s B squash team has won the city Class B squash championship for the fifth year in a row, defeating the Buffalo club 4-1 in the final. A traditional male preserve, the Buffalo club received insult on top of injury, since a female member of the University contingent, Lynne Billard, (visiting professor of statistics) helped to defeat them. Other University winners were Irving Feldman (English), Alain Reynard (Pharmacology), and med student Dirk Dugan. Jerome Slater, (Political Science) the University’s captain, was their lone loser. �Broadway Job’s Nits Club 3051 Main Straat TGIF Who by Bruce Engel x that TGIF. Thank God It’s Friday. How I love Fridays. You know those initials can stand for something else. A buddy of mine came up with it a few months ago The Gimp Is Fucked. That’s my nickname for three years now, the Gimp. All my friends know it, my family knows. I kinda like it. I guess the whole world might as well know about it. Getting back to Friday, today is Friday. But not just any Friday. This is the Friday after the Wednesday when the Student Assembly was introduced to the five sport plan. This is the Friday after the Wednesday when The Spectrum supported that plan in an editorial. This is the Friday that I have a chance to refute that superifical editorial. Friday means that the old Gimp gets to lay it on you. Here it goes In my humble opinion the plan proposing the five big sports idea is that’s Flicka’s feces for you culture buffs, also known as horseshit solid waste excreted from equus caballus. All jokes aside, I can’t support this plan in any way, shape or form. It would leave the University, not with an athletic program, but with a crock of shit. Athletics doesn’t mean an elite five teams, while the others receive a pittance, or probably don’t receive anything and cease sick person and — why is she writing sick poems about me? Gus - a Winner! to exist. Furthermore it is unrealistic in the face of a nearly destitute economy and adverse national trends in intercollegiate athletics, to think that the five big teams can generate significant amounts of income, or significantly greater student interest than they do at present. The improvement in the caliber of the team, a necessary first step but not enough in and of itself to accomplish these ends, is not possible under present conditions. This improvement would require athletic scholarships as well as reduced admissions stardards for athletes. Right now we don’t have those things, and if we get them, where are we then? Well, we’d have mercenary athletes, hired hands, sts Craftsmen & Enter the d Town U.S.A. 1 st Annual Art Festival functional non-students brought here to perform. The plain fact is that people have missed the boat interpreting the strength of the program. Its strength is not All American wrestlers like Jim Young and Charles Wright, strong armed pitchers like Jim Reidel and high scoring hockey stars like Mike Klym, though we’re all vt ery proud of them and the other fine athletes. The strength of the program is the fact that it involves large numbers of students, people just like you and 1, who simply want a competitive opportunity. The strength Judge: Mr. Wm. Giles of the program is that it is open to anyone, not just the high caliber Any student can compete on the smaller varsitys and many do. Teams like fencing, swimming, track, cross country and tennis shouldn’t be considered the dregs of the program, because few people watch them. Quite the contrary, they exemplify the opportunity of any student to participate. In a word, they are the strength of a program that is designed to serve regular students, not talented recruits. State recruited athlete. absurd? For more information A.C.S. Gallery jcall i OLD TOWN U.Si. iR’tmotioMikioar ' Now the talented recruit has his or her place, but not to the exclusion of the normal student, as SA’s proposal A does. If money is a problem, and it is and will continue to be, the big teams should spend a little less. Money can’t really help them anyway. Two factors, admissions and scholarships, both of which are out of students control, are their major problems. For that matter, all teams could spend a little less, reduce the schedules a little, play more local teams. Exclusion is a very unacceptable answer. Nonetheless, proposal A is with us. It has a lot of support. It might even pass. It makes me sick. Almost sick enough to quit. Almost sick enough to leave town altogether. The mere fact that the proposal has surfaced, that The Spectrum has hastily supported it, presents a sad and dangerous situation. It’s odd that the same group of individuals, the SA leadership, who fought so hard against the coalition to retain the athletic program a year ago, have now, in all good faith, proposed a program that effectively kills the guts of it. They feel they are helping students but in reality they are hurting everyone. It is now up to the SFA, the athletic review board and other interested parties to try to preserve a ten or eleven team program rather than a five team joke. Women’s lib would really have done something should this proposal pass. We would be left with five men’s teams and eight women’s teams. There might be three sports, swimming, tennis and golf, where the women have teams and the men don’t. Should Title IX become law, and it probably will soon, there would be nothing to restrict a male swimmer, for example, from going out for the women’s swim team. In effect then proposal A cuts women’s athletics, even though it claims to increase it, due to the fact that it forces the women’s program to fund coed teams. Isn’t all this fascinating? Isn’t it |H * Amiqu* viiiaf* H A I I I Jj jmcArtsJtlm(Cmmittee--: :t * Dir Should proposal A pass, the athletic department has but one logical course of action. Strike. They should walk right out rather than put up with a program that’s not a program, one that barely satisfies NCAA membership requirements. If that happens the student body would lose it all the whole works, possibly even intramurals. (After all it is the athletic department’s professionals that run the program.) Their representatives in the Student Assembly have that power. If they — . . Well, I’d rather not even think about it. See you next week.

The SpecTi\UM University Wednesday, 19 February 1975 of New York at Buffalo The hunter Conservationist, or killer? by Rosalie Zuckerman Spectrum Staff Writer —Briuon Harriman, Crosby Harassment of gays by Security charged “We want hunters prosecuted for cruelty to animals,” said at a Amory Cleveland controversial debate on hunting and the environment in Haas Lounge Friday night. The debate, sponsored by WBFO, pitted John Ailes of the National Rifle Association (NRA) and Dr. Ward Stone, chief pathologist of the New York State Conservation Environmental department (pro-hunting), against Mr. Amory, President of The Fund for Animals and former hunter and outdoor writer Bill Grosscup (anti-hunting). “The tradition in North America has been that all people have the right to hunt as a sport,” Mr. Ailes began. “The sportsmen, in addition to being a hunter, is also a conservationist.” “Around the turn of the century, my kind of hunter realized that we were losing about wildlife He brought hunting limitations, state game agencies and the passage of legislation creating treaties with Canada and Mexico that protected Mr. But migratory birds.” Grosscup offered a different definition of the hunter. “He is not a conservationist nor is he a sportsman. There is no sport in hunting; there is sport in trapping or observation of wildlife, but when the gun is aimed, the trigger pulled and the animal falls, there is no sport.” —continued on page 2— Plainclothes Campus Security officers have been patrolling the basement of Harriman Library and Crosby Hall in response to reports that gay males were meeting there for sexual activities. The stationing of the officers in those buildings, which was confirmed Monday by Pat Glennon, director of Security, has prompted a College F instructor to level charges of harassment. The Instructor Burton Weiss based his charges on reports from “reliable friends” who have encountered security officers in these areas, and on a personal incident which occurred February 5 in Harriman Library. At that time, the officers asked Mr. Weiss for identification because “there have been reports of lots of people from off-campus hanging around here lately,.” - - Gay meetings Those “people” have congregated in Harriman and Crosby for the purpose of “illegal and immoral sexual activity,” Mr. Glennon said. They had been originally “chased out” of a department store at the near-by University Plaza, and began meeting on campus, he explained. Although both buildings have always been included on the regular patrol routes, Campus Security began an increased watch on the areas when one officer was propositioned in Harriman bathroom. Specifically, an unidentified male allegedly passed a note to the guard which invited him to participate in “homosexual activity,” Mr. Glennon emphasized. The incident resulted in an investigation of “unlawful sexual activity” that may have occurred over a period of time in Harriman and Crosby, Mr. Glennon stated. There have been no specific complaints from members of the University, alhtough “It’s a thing we know has been going on,” said Mr. Glennon. Mr. Glennon believes that the charges of harrassment are unfounded since security officers have questioned all men “who did not look like students,” something it routinely does. Mass arrests Lee Griffin, another director of Campus Security, has been reported as telling-Charles Haynie, director of College F, that mass arrests would follow if the situation did not soon clear up. When asked by Mr. Haynie what was illegal about approaching someone, Mr. Griffin reputedly responded that a person could be charged with “loitering for purposes of deviant sexual intercourse.” Mr. Griffin then allegedly advised Mr. Haynie to discourage people from using the cited bathroom, because “the public John is not the best people to meet people.” In another encounter with security officers near the Harriman bathroom, the officers told Mr. Weiss that they were “under authorized investigation from Hayes Hall.” Mr. Weiss said that when he warned a passer-by that Campus Security was “harrassing” people, the officers answered that he could be arrested for governmental obstruction. “He (Mr. Weiss] was interfering,” Mr. Glennon agreed, “and may be running on the edge of getting arrested for obstruction.” Mr. Glennon then clarified his statement, explaining that if Mr. Weiss had physically prevented an identification check (a right of Campus Security on University grounds], he could face arrest. Rough-up Mr. Weiss also accused Security of roughing-up a student. Mr. Glennon denied this allegation, claiming that no one had reported the scuffle to his office. Campus Security’s involvement in the matter, according to Mr. Glennon, is to “concentrate on an activity which should not be taking place.” Officers will continue to patrol these areas, he said, “until they become convinced that this isn’t a place to gather.” “Gay males have the right to meet with each other, whenever they want,” Mr. Weiss responded. He asserted that the presence of the officers has a “chilling effect” on a First Amendment freedom, the right of assembly. “Right now, Campus Security is working against a whole class of people,” hat said. “Students must find means of expressing the demand for removal of these officers from these places. Mr. Weiss said there will be a meeting to organize against police harrassment of gay males on campus on Thursday, February 20 at 7 p.m. Anyone who is interested should call College F at 831-5386. Students busted for dope on campus; legality questioned Two University students were arrested Thursday .by Erie County deputy sheriffs in Clement Hall on charges involving the sale of one pound of PCP by one student to an undercover narcotics agent, and the discovery of over a pound of marijuana in the other student’s room. The students pleaded not guilty at an arraignment Friday morning in Buffalo City Court before Chief Judge Buswell Roberts. Neither student had been previously arrested. Norman Effman, attorney for the accused, said Monday that arresting officers’ failure to obtain search and arrest warrants “raises some real questions” about the legality of the search. The students, released Friday on $500 bail each, face additional charges stemming from searches of their dormitory rooms immediately following the evening arrests. The student accused of the PCP sale, which carries a maximum sentence of seven years’ imprisonment, is also charged with criminal possession with intent to sell. Both are felonies. He was also charged with possession of Tuenill, a barbiturate, and drug paraphrenalia, such as scales and rolling papers, which are misdemeanors. Pot: 15 years A search of the second student’s dormitory room allegedly discovered more than a pound of marijuana, along with assorted amphetamine and barbiturates. The marijuana charges carry a maximum penalty of 15 years imprisonment. A suppression hearing, which questions the legality of a search, and determines if the evidence revealed in a search may be used in court, will be held today. Three other dormitory residents and one non-student were detained f6r questioning. Sergeant Russel Pecoraro, one of the arresting officers, said that a warrant was not needed for the officers to enter the building because a felony was allegedly committed in an officer’s presence. The other arresting officers were Detectives William Graber and James Ketchum. Neither Campus Security nor any member of the University administration was notified prior to the arrests. Two plainclothes campus security officers did aid in making the arrests, however. No notification The usual practice for any law enforcement agency with superseding authority over Campus Security is to notify local authorities of any action well before it is taken. The Courier-Express has reported that the arrests were the result of a two-month investigation. Sgt. Pecoraro explained that his office had been receiving complaints from students and parents about an increase in the use of drugs on campus. The drug being sold as THC is mostly PCP, an animal tranquilizer. Because the University is in Erie County, Sheriffs Department officers have jurisdiction on campus According to several students in Clement Hall during the arrests, the plainclothes Sheriffs officers waited in the Clement lobby until the undercover agent, a woman, had completed the alleged transaction and returned downstairs. While they waited, the officers prevented any of the students nearby from using the telephone or leaving the immediate area. When the undercover officer came downstairs, the plainclothesmen waiting in the lobby went up to make the arrests. �Analysis K Proposals presented for cutting small teams, strengthening others by Brace Engel Sports Editor Proposals for drastic cuts in the six “small” intercollegiate athletic teams and strengthening the five remaining “spectator sports” were explored Monday at a meeting between members of the Student Association (SA) Executive Committee and representatives of the newly-formed Students for the Future of Athletics (SFA). The proposals may be discussed at today’s meeting of the Student Assembly. The plan, presented by SA Student Affairs coordinator Howard Schapiro, is designed to maintain current levels of funding for teams with the greatest spectator appeal and generate increased income from these larger sports. Mr. 'Schapiro and SA President Frank Jackalone feel that continued use of student activity fees for intercollegiate athletics can be justified only if spectator appeal and income are considered. During the past year, the intercollegiate athletic budget was heavily criticized by different factions of the Student Assembly, and SA officers have been meeting over the past few months with members of the administration and athletic department to find some way of maintaining an effective program. Big five The Schapiro plan, which the SA leadership is expected to bring before the Student Assembly this afternoon, would guarantee $104,000 to keep the big five sports soccer, basketball, wrestling, hockey and baseball funded at their present levels and (jut in half the total administration and publicity lines. “This is the only thing we thought we could sell 4o the Assembly,” said Mr. Schapiro in defense of the plan. The women’s program, including its own general administration and publicity,••would receive $23,000, slightly more than it now gets. SA’s allocation would also - - Hunting. Mr. Grosscup claimed that extensive hunting is depleting the nation’s wildlife, and pointed out the danger to the hunters themselves. In one hunting.season, 76 hunters were shot at by other hunters; 28 of them killed. “It looks like the deer are gaining,” Mr. Grosscup said. Rebuttals Stone Dr. immediately challenged the assertion that hunters were wiping out animal The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer by The Spectrum Student Periodical Inc. Offices are located at 355 Norton Hall, State University of N. Y. at include an operational fund of $17,000 which, with the deduction of a projected $9500 deficit, would leave the athletic department with $7500 to use for all other men’s intercollegiate sports. These include cross country, track, tennis, fencing, golf and swimming, which are now budgeted for a total of $25,000. The Athletic Department would therefore stand to lose $ 17,500 for small sports. Dennis Delia, newly-appointed chairman of the Student Athletic Review Board, offered a counter-proposal which he termed “middle-of-the-road,” that would restore $11,000 more to maintain tennis, track, cross country and swimming at their present levels while increasing the publicity budget (Lack of publicity is one of SFA’s major complaints.). Mr. belia’s plan did call for the elimination of golf and fencing, two sports he claimed had the least participation. The SFA had opened the meeting with a prepared statement that all programs must be maintained at least at their current levels because they are an integral part of a student’s education. Charles Ciotta, who wrote the statement, claimed that athletics*is necessary because it serves as an advanced physical education program and a laboratory for prospective coaches and teachers. SA President Frank Jackalone explained that he had to consider athletics as a student activity that would be evaluated by the Assembly in terms of dollars and cents relative to the number of people receiving the benefits. The group went on to discuss the possibility of procuring state funding, but generally concluded that it would be impossible Mr. Jackalone also said that SA would no longer deal with the athletic department officials, preferring to confer with the athletes themselves. The recent organization of the SFA makes this possible for the first time, and SFA leader Jim Young claimed that there was no official connection between his group and the athletic administration or coaches. One of SFA’s major complaints was a lack of < supportive publicity in both The Spectrum and, in particular, the Athletic Department itself. The group also charged that sports information director Dick Baldwin had not used his budget efficiently by concentrating too much on the community and alumni without doing enough to inform students about the program. Mr. Baldwin declined to comment on the issue in a telephone interview Monday. The SFA members repeatedly stressed that publicity is one of their top priorities and that they would like to produce their own newspaper for this purpose. The possibility of diverting the funds budgeted to sports information and letting the students use it for this special sports newspaper was kicked around, with no definitive decision reached. • species, claiming that their activity was actually protecting wildlife their by reducing populations to less competitive levels. As a result of properly regulated hunting seasons, many species of wild life are more abundant now than in the past, he to the referring added, white-tailed deer who were rescued from becoming extinct and now number more than 20 million. Dr. Stone also lointed out the dangers of overpopulated herds who damage vegetation and destroy agriculture. He claimed that unchecked species often present health hazards.

Hunting is a necessity to keep these populations in check before they reach this diseased level, he added. “If man does not do anything about it, mother nature will and mother nature can be cruel.” Hunting the hunters Mr. Amory then told a story to ridicule Dr. Ward’s argument. “We decided to start a club called Hunt the Hunter ,” he said seriousness. “The in mock purpose of this club was to shoot the hunter for his own sake just like animals. We explained tp hunters that we were not trying to exterminate them, we were just trying to harvest and trim them.” where hunters shot Dakota Mr. Amory went on to accuse 50,000 snow geese, but left most hunters of cruel atrocities. He told of them to rot. Several of these of one incident occurring at a geese were later found with jammed in their cigarettes mouths. Dr. Stone argued that the Sand Lake incident and others like it were rare cases. “You always have ‘slobs’ guilty of this kind of abuse and they should be prosecuted.” He explained that sportsmen often set up preserves to maintain a natural habitat for exotic, tamed animals. “If it were not for the sportsmen’s interest and money, r there would be no animals around for us to argue about.” Spring Semester beginning Thurs.

Mr. Amory said that only 3.5 percent of the people in the U.S. are hunters and that the majority of Americans want to see animals live. Coming to the defense of the hunter, Mr. Ailes said they might be a minority, but they deserve the same protection any other minority does. Mr. Amory ended the debate with a hunting song: “Poeple ask me how I do it, And I tell them there is nothing to it. You just stand there looking cute, And when something moves you shoot.

This article surveys the magnitude of the problem on a world scale. by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor “Air pollution (and its fallout on soil and water) is a form of domestic chemical and biological warfare,” charged Ralph Nader in the introduction to one of his organization’s books, Vanishing Air. Every breath of air amounts to a “compulsory consumption of violence” the American by people, Mr. Nader believes. Numerous and scientific Carson, Rachel the scientist and award-winning former marine biologist for the US. Fish and Wildlife Service, warned as early as 1962, inn Silent Spring, that increased pollution has the potential to disrupt the entire balance of nature. Numerous chemical pollutants are accumulating in the tissues of plants and animals and creating the possibility of genetic mutations, she maintained. She listed scores of examples of plants, animals and people who have been harmed or killed as a result of from poisoning pollution. For example, in 1943, the Rocky Mountain Arsenal of the Army Chemical Corps in Colorado OB Oytt*; 4 r*K* Bmd on Lif. Seim* Library Mae water in open disposal basins Ms. Carson believed that these dangerous chemical pollutants may travel hundreds of miles through the vast network of contaminating waterways, everything along the way. Since water is necessary for the support of plant, animal and human life, serious questions arise concerning the contamination of entire life cycles. When Crops are sprayed with DDT to kill insects, nearby animals are often affected. When these animals eat plants containing DDT. they increase the DDT in their own systems and when humans eat meat we get the accumulated DDT from both. A related insectide, DDD, has been found to destroy the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland, asserted Ms. Carson. Today, cattle producers use other chemicals, suspected of being dangerous, to fatten up cattle and to arrest diseases long enough for the cattle to be slaughtered and sold. Cancer infectious Allhough many been nearly diseases have eliminated from the U.S., cancer, respiratory diseases and others have increased alarmingly. A staff from the Life Science Library, headed by Rene Dubos and Maya Pines, reports in Health and Disease that the death rate from lung cancer among males in the U.S. increased eightfold between 1930 and 1960. Death from pulmonary emphysema increased four times between 1950 and 1959. The increased occurence of these deseases “correlates closely medical studies have linked began to produce chemical war pollutants to a wide range of materials.

Of particular concern to chemicals to wells miles away. scientists is that continued pollution of the air, water and soil life-cycles A powerful weed-killer, 2,4-D, could eventually cause serious genetic mutations. The National which had not been produced at Institute of Health has warned the arsenal was also found in the that a number of chemical wells.

As startling as these figures may seem, more and more young people have been committing violent and often perverse crimes Last year, two ten-year old youths were approached by two older youths (one 14 years old, the other 16) outside a sporting goods store in Brooklyn. The older boys demanded at knifepoint all their money, and also told them to return their purchases and hand over the refund. Afterwards, the victims were forced onto a bus and taken to an abandoned apartment where several perverse acts were committed. The older boys defacated on the floor and made the victims pick it up. They then tied one to a ladder and applied burning matches to his body and set his hair on fire. The other had his head placed in water for one minute intervals, and was dangled out the window. Plastcrboards were smashed over their heads and wedges of 1 wood were pounded into their knuckles with hammers. Finally they were beaten and sodomized. Violence at home Although no one has pinpointed the reasons behind the higher incidence of juvenile crimes, several theories have been advanced. Robert Ford, a criminologist at the State University at Buffalo, suggested that a subculture of violence exists in many crowded cities. Peer pressure expresses itself in street gangs, which are often a means of survival, he explained. Violence thus becomes an appropriate way of dealing with situations. A ghetto youth is routinely exposed to it, so it of acceptable way an becomes communicating, Dr. Ford stressed. When status cannot be gained by money or a prestigious position, it is achieved by one who is the best warrior, he went on. Violence, Dr. Ford surmised, is a natural human reaction that usually fades into.the once the individual is background “socialized.” In the case of a person living in a ghetto, the normal process of socialization is disturbed. Television violence Other factors contributing to the widespread occurance of juvenile crimes could be the influence of television and periodicals, a lack of parental guidance and the fact that the policeman is no longer a figure of authority, according to some Others contend that psychologists. boredom also contributes to violence. Additionally, a 14 year old might know that the worst that can happen to him if he kills someone is an 18-month stretch in a reformatory As a result of the rise in violent crimes committed by juveniles, new and tougher state laws are being drafted for the current legislative session in Albany. Among these is a statute reducing the cut-off age for juveniles from 16 to 14, and a law allowing juveniles charged with serious crimes to be tried in Criminal rather than Family court. At present, no one is certain what chance these laws have of passing. Although 70 percent of all juvenile crime occurs in cities, violent behavior has also been exhibited by youths in rural areas. In the South, where guns are more openly accepted, there is a high rate of juvenile violence. Some authorities say juvenile delinquents from rural areas are harder to control than city delinquents. Statistics show that juvenile crime urban to increase in continues social communities. Several scientists have the crime rate will suggested, however, that because of the soon begin to decrease With less juveniles in declining birth rate. an area, there may be less peer pressure applied to the newcomer. This and other benefits of a less congested city should result in a decrease in the number of juvenile crimes. Charles King, Director of Rehabilitation for the New York State Division of Youth, recently studied nine juvenile offenders, including a “torch killer,” and a youth who had performed a dismemberment. All came from troubled families where parents often displayed unpredictable mood shifts. The to distrust their learned youths environment and to constantly expect harm. All were retarded in reading and had dull to normal IQ’s (92-104). Lacking command of the English language, the youths fell back on what Mr. King called “inner cues,” such as feelings of omnipotence. To sustain their feelings of omnipotence, they . reduced their symbols of communication to primitive speech and action power. In reducing social exchanges to power struggles, persons became objects and were seen only as obstacles. Ax murdered Routine activities like talking and thinking were less tolerable for these lencc, accon ling to youths sense of omnipotence Their study. King was actually a feeling of helplessness. They would kill someone who offended them and feel no remorse about it, and would blame the victim simply because they resisted. Juvenile violence does not only occur in poor areas of crowded cities. Recently, in an upper middle class community in New Jersey, a 15 year-old honor student ax-murdered his parents and then committed suicide. The boy was described as a light-hearted, mild-mannered teenager with an IQ of 125. His father was a bank Vice President and his mother was a domineering housewife. The boy was apparently under pressure from his parents to do well academically because his sister was valedictorian of her class. Police later discovered that he had a secret room decorated with swastikas and a written document by Adolf Hitler, and he had read Inside the Third Reich five times. Psychiatrists have stated that the secret room, parental pressure, and the allure of Hitler signify something profound, but they cannot conclude what. They cannot even determine if he was sane or insane. It is possible that he was tom between a rebellion of the perfectionist attitudes of his parents and the desire to please them. More than anything else, the case showed that juvenile violence is not confined strictly to ghetto environments. Edmunds lecture Speaker seeks human priorities in education Rudolf Steiner’s theory of education, an anti-scientific alternative to the technological educations that students have traditionally received, was explored Thursday in Norton Hall by L. Francis Edmunds, principal and founder of Emerson College in Sussex, England. Edmunds asked the audience, “What has technology to do with the development of man?” “It is like the house that Jack built, only there is no place for Jack. He is left out in the cold with no place to go,” he said. Mr. Edmunds explained that Steiner’s Theory is an attempt to find the nature of man, something that has been obscured by technological advances. To accompish this, we must transform ourselves back to childhood, he said. “We must learn to communicate creatively and to draw attention to the things that have receded and fallen back into ourselves.” introduced to modern times, learning about such things as the printing press, navigation by star readings, the telescope, microscope, steam engine and the wonders of modern age. After grade eleven, students are taught subjects like language, arts, and crafts. Their teachers in turn work with other instructors to expand themselves. This interweaving of the faculty, which is emphasized at weekly faculty meetings, is essential for maintaining high educational standards. Although subjects like math, geography, history, chemistry and physics are explored in high school, Mr. Edmunds emphasized that high school was not the end of the educational process. “The high school process leads upward again because we become aware of what we don’t know,” he explained. method spread to more than twenty schools. In 1939, however, the Nazis closed down the German schools because they were viewed as contrary to the Nazi philosophy. There were originally four such schools in England, two in Switzerland, and one in New York City. Expansion of the schools was impossible until after World War II, but between 1945 and 1975, more than 100 Steiner schools have come into existence in the free world. Of those, thirty-five are English-speaking, eightenn are in the United States, and two are in Canada. Expand themselves Steiner’s schooling process consists of a number of steps corresponding to the development of mankind, Mr. Edmunds said. By the end of the sixth grade, students have completed schooling which is equivalent to history at the end of the middle ages. In the seventh and eighth grades, they are gradually Anti-Nazi The Steiner Theory is also called the Waldorf education method because the request for the first school came from the owner of the Waldorf-Astoria Cigarette Company in Stuttgart, Germany for the benefit of the children ofhis employees. Between 1919 and 1939 the Waldorf education Mr. Edmunds related an encounter between himself and a man to whom he was explaining the Steiner Theory. “I know what you’re doing,” the man exclaimed. “You’re fighting evil.” Mr. Edmunds contemplated that statement and decided that the man was right. “What we are attempting to accomplish is the redemption of the state of man today,” he reiterated. Page four The Spectrum Wednesday, 19 February 1975 . . Mr. Edmunds was director of teacher training at Michael Hall in Sussex, England for forty years before founding Emerson College to promote the Steiner Theory. “1 named my college after Ralph Waldo Emerson because he had regard for the expressive quality of nature,” he explained. �While people starve Tons of unused food stuffs inside Civil Defense shelters by Joseph P. Esposito Contributing Editor Millions of people throughout the world go to bed hungry every night, while others waste more food at one meal than they consumed during an entire day. The sharp contrast between the haves and the have-nots is best illustrated by the food supplies accumulated in Civil Defense shelters nationwide which would feed millions of hungry people. The food, however, will soon be unusable, deteriorating in almost near-forgotten shelters which stand as memorials to an age passed. In Erie County alone, the stored provisions would feed over 850,000 people for a two week period, with those on the University’s Main Street Campus alone able to support 35,000 people for a similar time span. The Civil Defense stores, which include food, water, health supplies and radiation detectors have been in the shelters for more than ten years. Food spot-checked The food is spot-checked twice a year by Army medical officers who have yet to find any deterioration in the food here. The food supplies include a high-calorie biscuit described as something “similar to an animal cracker,” a carbohydrate supplement, and drinking water stored in plastic bags in metal containers. Although the medical stores are non-perishables, John McEvoy, Acting Deputy Director of Civil Defense for Erie County, explained that “variances in temperatures and humidity make it difficult to estimate the shelf-life [of the food supplies] The Civil Defense Act of 1950 set up the Civil Defense (CD) operations.

The program includes: Quartet in D Minor, Op. 76, No. 2 “Quinten” by Haydn; Quartet in B Minor, Op. 11 by Samuel Barber. During the second half of the program, the quartet will invite the audience to choose several movements from their repetoire. 1969, has been The Quartet, which was formed in the fall of 1971. In addition to here since Quartet-in-Residence performing the annual Slee Beethoven Cycle of the Department of Music, they have been heard at such places as the Festival Casals, the Library of Congress, Washington’s Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall, London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, the South Bank Festival, and the Herkulessaal of Munich. Their first album for RCA Red Seal, of the complete string quartets of Brahms, gained instant acclaim, along with “Best of the Year” awards from Time Magazine and Stereo Review and a Grammy nomination. , Anti-war benefits They regularly perform more than 80 concerts a year, including numerous anti-war benefits, and they are active fundraisers for the American Civil Liberties Union. Last year they gave their first benefit concert for Chilean refugees at SUNYAB. As member Peter Salaff said, “The Quartet is very concerned about world affairs. We have a very strong interest in what is happening in Chile.” Mr. Salaff. the Quartet’s second violinist, lived in Chile for two and a half years while teaching at the University of Concepcion. During his stay he played in an orchestra, a chamber music ensemble, did solo work, made recordings and appeared on television. He was also active in forming a student orchestra made up of young children from poor families and broken homes. Explaining the Quartet’s involvement with the fundraising drive, said, “When we learned of the great tragedy of the coup, we Salaff Mr. were shocked and wanted to do anything we could to aid people who were being persecuted. 1 was personally grieved at the execution of a colleague who had helped form a wonderful orchestra of young people.” Chile benefit The Buffalo Committee for Chilean Democracy, which was formed immediately after the coup, is making arrangements for the event and has itself been active in organizing fund-raising activities, film showings, and educational lectures on the Chilean situation.

(ii.u:' s. l «;l i.; 11 n . . t i. . .'f l :> - 111‘ �Editorial Healing athletics After almost a year of controversy over the nature and size of the Student Association budgetary allocations to intercollegiate athletics, members of the SA Executive Committee have come up with a proposal that may finally resolve the athletics question. Responding to charges by this year's Student Assembly that the number of participants and spectators actively involved in certain sports is too few to justify their large allocations, the SA representatives have made recommendations that should make the funding more equitable without crippling the entire athletic program. As presented by SA President Frank Jackalone, Student Affairs Coordinator Howard Schapiro and Speaker's Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow at a meeting last Monday with the newly-formed Students for the Future of Athletics, the proposal would guarantee for at least one basketball, wrestyear enough money to keep the "big five" sports ling, hockey, baseball and soccer operating at their current levels and allow the athletic department to spend any excess income to expand these programs if it so desires. At the same time, it would decrease the allocations to the smaller sports which have fewer participants and can hardly be considered spectator sports, and provide more money for women's sports, intramurals and recreation and club sports. In drawing up their proposal, Messrs. Jackalone, Schapiro and Morrow wisely struck a middle ground. They anticipated the hostility of the Student Assembly toward athletics, nourished by a year of frustration at having little say over the intercollegiate athletic budget, without forgetting the importance of sports that have broad appeal. More importantly, they essentially served notice to the Athletic Department that students are the ones who pick up the tab for athletics and should therefore decide exactly how that money is spent. This exercise in self-assertion is certainly the most intelligent way of dealing with Athletic Director Harry Fritz, a person who would rather pay only lip service to student preferences in athletics. Because it emphasizes the importance of student involvement in both the decision making process and in athletic activities themselves, the proposal deserves the support of the Student Assembly and the student body. 'YOU CAN SAY THIS TOR HENRY—HE AMY RE BORING, AND DULL, AND CHARISAIA, BUT HE'S TOTALLY DEVOID OF SUBTLITYI' ■— — Senseless exile President Ford's recent extension of the amnesty program is sadly characteristic of his performance in office and closely parallels his moves on the economy. When Mr. Ford instituted the amnesty program last fall, he chose what was essentially a politically palatable but wishy-washy course. His program was ill-conceived, its administration by the Justice and Defense Departments poorly handled, and the results have been predictably poor. Yet when faced with these facts, Mr. Ford made no move to correct the injustices of "amnesty." Instead, he simply extended the deadline, hoping, as with the economic problems, that the problem would go away. A program of total, unconditional amnesty is the only answer. Unlike another pardon that was handed out recently, a pardon for Vietnam-era draft evaders stands on its own merits. Those who refused to fight understood the hypocrisy and tragic implications of endless war in Indochina years before the rest of the country came to its senses. By depriving these men of amnesty, the United States discriminates against men whose courage and perspective are essential for making some of the crucial global decision in years to come. Blunting some of the most intelligent American voices by herding them out of especially with someone like Gerald Ford as President the country can only lead to more tragedy. — — The Spectrum Wednesday, 19 February 1975 Vol. 25, No. 57 Editor-in-Chief - Managing Editor Amy Dunlon Managing Editor Michael O'Neill — — . .

I am a graduate student and therefore not directly effected by the recent proposed budget for the Athletic Department, Division of Varsity Athletics for the next school year. Even still, I cannot condone the drastic cutbacks that SA President Frank Jackalone has demanded of the department. There are some facts that I feel should be brought to your and the school clientele’s attention: 1. The money that is being taken from the Athletic Department is going into the greedy pockets of those other University departments and offices who overspend their budgets every year without failure. Actually, the Athletic Department is being used as a sacrifice to fatten up the budgets of the other departments in this institution. 2. Athletes whose programs will come to a close because of your budget proposals for next year are in jeopardy. In order to participate in the varsity athletics at another institution, the athlete must first attain one year of tenure at the school because of his transfer student status. If the athlete is a junior; he must either terminate his athletic career or stay in school for an additional year. 3. Some athletes are attending UB on sports scholarships. If their sport terminates, their scholarship money will probably be revoked causing them to resign from school, thus either postponing or terminating their education and occupational 4. The Student Association has turned an apathetic ear to the Athletic Department and feels this is in the best interest of the school. It is not. Because of the drastic cuts in budget that you have perpetrated against the Athletic Department, it has become increasingly difficult to recruit quality athletes for the specific varsity sports comprising the thus jeopardizing the varsity program here, popularity of the team sports. In essence, it is the Student Association that is actually responsible for the poor turnout at the school’s varsity athletic events. 5. The Athletic Department’s budget has been getting cut for the past three years. There were 16 varsity sports in 1972, 13 in 1973, 9 in 1974 and five proposed for 1975. These statistics speak for themselves. If this growing trend is allowed to continue, monetary genocide will have been committed against the Athletic staff, athletes and coaches. UB will become one of the few popular state institutions in this country without an athletic program altogether. 1, as a concerned Physical Education Major, cannot and will not allow that to happen. I will enlist all the help I can get in putting an end to the war SA has waged against the Athletic Department. Gary A.

Richard Helms, former Director of the CIA, told a Senate committee in early February that there was “no doubt” that the Nixon Administration wanted all along to have Chilean President Salvador Allende overthrown. Mr. Helm’s flat assertion about the Nixon administration’s intentions toward Dr. Allende contradicts pages of sworn testimony by various government officials about our policies towards Chile. Allende was overthrown in Sept. 1973 in one of the bloodiest military coup’s in Latin American history. During the coup, between 10,000—20,000 people were killed. President Nixon, Henry Kissinger, and other lesser officials subsequently denied that the United States had anything to do with the coup. We know now that Nixon and Kissinger, unable to bring about Allende’s overthrow during the critical period between the Sept. 1970 elections and Allende’s confirmation in office in early November 1970, authorized the CIA to spend at least $8 million to “destabilize” the Allende regime. President Ford, rather than repudiating his predecessor’s actions towards Chile, has justified them. He said last September that the military coup in Chile was in the best interests of our government and the Chilean people. Under the Junta today, the Chilean Congress has been closed, trade unions prohibited, political parties banned, the press censored, and a regime of torture installed. Inflation is the highest in the world. Officially, it was about 400 percent in 1974, but in fact probably closer to 1000 percent for most popular items. The real wages of most Chileans have decreased 50 percent since the coup. Poorer Chileans live on a diet of bread, soup, and beans. Unemployment is estimated at about 20 percent. 6, On Nov. the United Nations overwhelmingly condemned “the permanent violation of human rights by the Chilean military Junta,” in a 90-8 vote with 29 abstentions. On Dec. 6. the five man investigatory commission sent to Chile by the Organization of American States (OAS), reported that there have been, and are “extremely serious violations of human rights” in Chile, including the extensive torture of political prisoners. In November, Mexico broke off all diplomatic relations with Chile. England has non-existent guidelines concerning smoking have created a serious environmental health problem at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Students and faculty are subjected to classrooms and lecture halls blanketed with a haze of cigarette smoke. The detrimental physiological effects of such an environment have been established and listed on the Tobacco Smoke Emissions Fact Sheet, distributed by Erie County Department of Health. Aside from the real but perhaps not so readily apparent damage to the cardiopulmonary systems, the problems caused by garbage (in the form of ash, butts and matches) left on floors and desks, the burning of eyes, sinuses and throat, and their necessary effect on concentration and motivation must have a dampening effect on the educational process. The numbers of people actively expressing perturbation at, or even awareness of, this problem has seemed relatively small, although a majority of adults do not smoke. I believe this to be the consequence of stigmas attached to such vocalization (especially when one’s professor is a major offender). It has been suggested that 1 request the Student Association to consider voting to change this degeneration. Numbers, however, are irrelevant, as a solution to this problem is necessitated by equity, not majority. Docs one’s “right” to smoke (and in so doing endangering the health and well-being of others) transcend others’ right to poison-free breathing? Reason answers no! Ethics answers no! Legislatures across the country in recent ordinances (including Erie County legislation) have answered Lax refused to send economic or military aid, and France heavy weapons. Most Scandanavian countries have no economic or military trade with Chile as well. In addition, Australia does not trade with Chile and Italy refuses to send an ambassador. It is the U.S. that has been the main prop of the Chilean military government. In December, the U.S. Congress finally moved to partially halt this shameful situation. Both the House and Senate agreed on a Foreign Aid Bill which eliminates all military aid to Chile in the fiscal year 1975. The bill was passed in the Senate by a narrow 46-45 vote. Economic aid to the Junta by the U.S. government has also been limited to $25 million. When President Ford signed the bill into law, he complained about the restrictions in aid to Cambodia and Chile. The Ford administration had originally asked for $85 million in economic aid and $25 million in military aid, doubling the previous year’s amounts. But Ford and Kissinger are likely to make certain that the Chilean military get all the help they need, regardless of the wishes of the U.S. Congress, the U.S. public, or the Chilean people. Already, the Pentagon has okayed an arms sales by Cessna and Northrop airplane manufacturers to Chile. These private firms sold $80 million worth of jet fighters to Chile late last year, even though the Pentagon could have vetoed the sales. Additionally, the U.S. has and will continue to exert its large influence in the international banks to make sure the military regime in Chile gets generous loans, no matter how bad the Chilean economic outlook. This is the opposite of the stringent credit blockade that Kissinger ordered for the Allende regime. In Chile, the repression continues. There are about 10,000 political prisoners locked up in 37 makeshift concentration camps, and there is a continuous stream of new arrivals. Most political prisoners are routinely tortured. In recent days, the Chilean military regime has become more aware of its isolation, and attempted to improve its image by releasing a few of the better known political prisoners. One of those was Orlando Letelicr, imprisoned near Antarctica, and released last November. Letelier was the Chilean Ambassador to the U.S. in 1971 and 1972, and Minister of Defense and Interior for Allende in 1973. Now residing in the U.S., he will be coming to Buffalo on March 6 and will speak in the Fillmore Room at 7;30 p.m. by Buffalo Committee for Chilean Democracy Dear President Ketter: or no! I have been attempting for close to two years to evoke change. I have spoken with Mr. Syracuse of Environmental Health and Safety and with Dr. Ertell of the Administration concerning smoking in that classrooms, and am unconvinced the Administration is willing to provide and enforce equitable guidelines unless so forced by legislation. Universities have traditionally been centers of informed, educated and progressive thought. SUNY at Buffalo has enjoyed a reputation of leadership in such conduct in Western New York. Despite, however, a plethora of scientific evidence of the dangers involved, the University of Buffalo remains stagnant as the surrounding community and Buffalo State College institute guidelines. If the Administration has, as I believe it does, the responsibility to provide an environment healthy and conducive to efficient higher education, it is shirking an essential part of it. We, as humans, don’t like to change; but man hasn’t progressed or improved as a result of resistance to change. I urge you. President Ketter, to consider and to act on this problem. Mark Bernsley SUNYAB Class of 1975 Should we be deceived again? Missing the point To the Editor. To the Editor. It’s good to get feedback on a review you’ve written, whether it be positive or negative criticism. Concerning Mr. Dawson’s response, 1 didn’t realize that the Alvin Lee concert review would upset him so. I hope the experience wasn’t too traumatic. It seems, however, he entirely missed the point. Once pieced together, I feel the review quite accurately portrayed ■ what happened at Kleinhans that fateful night. Gentle Giant simply stole the show. Their performance was far superior to Alvin Lee’s attempt at emancipation. It seems Alvin Lee will always have a skeleton in his closet Ten ears After. It was TYA that paved his road to “rockdom.” And it’s his reputation from TYA that still provides to be his meal ticket. When I pay $6.50 for a concert ticket, I expect to have a good time and hopefully hear some favorites. Everyone has a right to expect a good time and hopefully hear some favorites. Everyone has a right to expect certain material to be performed but no one has the right to demand it. Alvin Lee, however, can’t dictate what the audience should get — into. Apparently Mr. Dawson read into the review, otherwise he wouldn’t get so defensive. I stated that Alvin Lee’s performance was pretty good. However, I couldn’t ignore the fact that many people left during his set and continuously disrupted it with a dull roar. Alvin Lee has finally got to do his rhythm ’n blues set which he’s been waiting for since ’69. By now he should have had it all together. Sue Wos The thought of Ron Ziegler appearing here at UB is most appalling. Here is a man who lived off the pocketbook of the American taxpayer to the tune of $42,500 a year, bit time and time again the hand that fed him, and managed to turn the salary of a public servant into wages of sin. That he is now unemployed is ironic, and he has my sincere sympathy. Though he might be a very interesting, engaging speaker (there is a chance, however remote, that we might be treated to a few truths about the Nixon White House), I find the idea of paying $2,500 in student monies to a man who so willingly deceived and misled the American people to be incredibly repulsive and repugnant. I wonder if the prestige that the Speakers’ Bureau anticipates by bringing us Ron Ziegler has obscured some very basic moral questions and I wonder if the people here are aware enough to care, or if the majority of students care only to the extent that it would be nice to tell Mom and Dad that they gee, isn’t that great? saw Ron Ziegler The students at Boston University were indignant enough to retract their offer to Mr. Ziegler, unless of course, he wanted to speak without fee, which, of course, he didn’t. I challenge the entire University community did we enjoy getting screwed by Ron Ziegler so much the first time that we are willing to come back for more and pay for the privilege? We were innocent once, and still we pay for that innocence. Need we pay more? Surely more admirable, - — and than knowledgeable people ex-Disneyland guide Ron Ziegler are available to speak of, and shed light on, the American political honorable process. I ask — would a woman invite her rapist out to dinner to find out how she was screwed? Should we? — Jeff Groob Attention Management majors To the Editor.

You may have noticed the Universal Product Identification Code, (UPC), a series of bars, that have been appearing on about 75 percent of supermarket products since May 1973. By 1980, most products will bear the cofte, which activates the scanner’? central control unit to flash back the price and item description. Instead of the comparatively crude receipt now given with the purchase, customers will receive a printout listing each item, its price and the total bill. This will make it easier for the consumer to check the prices, and will greatly facilitate inventory tallying. In addition, a duplicate printout for the central control unti will Just tabs on money and can check-the printout every 15 minutes. Supermarkets will also save the cost of stamping new prices on food items, since daily price fluctuations will simply be entered into the computer. A&P expects to have a complete IBM system in many of its stores within the next few years, although they now use the forerunner an electronic cash register, which, when paired with the scanner and tied to the central processing unit resembles the new — system. The IBM Sabina 3660 will be able to control up to 24 systems and scanners in one store, and to handle 22,000 different items on the UPC code at once, according to IBM. It will also save customers who question their checks from going to the manager’s desk since the check can be put into a slot, automatically registered, and rechecked. Advertisers have also shown an interest in the inventory control, since an instant analysis of activate automatic reordering. grocery the Designed by computer and industry companies, the system will save retailers manpower. But it 'is unclear whether it will result in increased costs to the consumer who will, of course, pick up the cost of the equipment. It also poses energy problems, according to one IBM source, if their scanner is used at a 10-checkout counter store, seven days a week, 12 hours per day; it will consume 940 kilowat hours month. This includes the units, the checkout stands, the controllers, and a share of the central processing unit (IBM 370). Although the new devices use slightly more energy than mechanical cash registers, several local managers who plan to install them shortly claim that this extra cost of energy will be offset by the amount saved in labor. The system is expected to cost per least $100,000 at supermarket, but a market with per scanning weekly sales of $60,000 could recover the cost in three years, according Mckinsey to and Company, (IBM consultant). Will this cost be passed on to the consumer? That would be up to the individual supermarkets, according to the consultants. Local supermarkets maintain that there will be such a substantial cut in the cost of labor that. ho installation costs will be passed on to the consumer. In fact, some have even speculated that the operating costs might lower eventually lower food prices.

Approximately 150,000 tons of food are now stored in 100,000 shelters throughout the U.S., according to the Civil Preparedness spokesman. Most is still good, he explained, because it is contained in vacuum-packed tins. The supplies, purchased between 1962 and 1964, had an estimated shelf-life of only 5 years. But the federal officials claim that they were packed so well that they are still good.

A strong second half performance, including a new wrinkle in the offense, enabled them to defeat the Akron Zips 62-56, at the Memorial Auditorium. The Bulls were held to 18 points in a first half that threatened to set the sport back twenty years. The tempo of the game was so slow that one observer was moved to equate the contest with watching someone die of cancer over a ten year period.' One Bull confided that he was bored even while pfaying. The first half shooting was atrocious for both teams, as the Bulls hit less than 25 percent of their shots At half time Buffalo Coach Leo Richardson decided that strategy was not the answer. “1 really didn’t have anything to say to them,” he said after the game. “We were playing pretty well but we just weren’t making our shots.” The solution was simple. Only two minutes after they left the floor the Bulls were back taking some extra shooting practice before the second half began. Practice didn’t make perfect, but the Bulls did manage to hit a vastly improved 14 of 22 shots in the second half. to sit on a lead. Previously, their inability to stay ahead had cost them several close games in the waning moments. Four comers Earlier in the week Richardson had instituted a four corner offense, a stalling technique designed to preserve a lead. “We had to find a way to hold onto the basketball,” said Richardson. In the middle of the second half Akron’s failure to do that very thing cost them the lead. Zip forward Dave Joyner hit two jumpers that put the visitors up by eight and Casimir Moss, Akron’s crew-cutted captain, tried to slow things down. However the Zips couldn’t stall and score at the same time and four quick baskets knotted the score at 42 all. Then reserve guard Larry Jones came off the bench and hit three big buckets. “I had to try something,” said Richardson, explaining the Jones experiment. “No one else was doing anything.” No one else but starting forward Jeff Baker. Baker had fouled out of four of the Bulls previous five games. With six minutes left, Jeff, obviously relieved at having no fouls to worry about, really went to town. He dominated the closing minutes, scoring and rebounding whenever it was needed. In all he collected 18 points (16 in the second half) and 9 rebounds. Grapplers Fall to a tough, strong power by Lynn Everard Spectrum Staff Writer The Buffalo Bulls wrestling squad ended their dual meet season with 2S-I2 defeat at the hands of Cleveland State, one of the nation’s toughest wrestling powers. Buffalo’s only ray of sunshine on a cloudy Cleveland day came from wins by the consistent Jim Young, Emad Faddoul, and Charlie Wright. The trio has compiled an amazing dual meet record of 49-2-2. Wright, who wrestled heavyweight all season, made his move down to 190 in preparation for the upcoming post-season tournaments. With the meet out of reach he didn’t have the pressure on him as he often does. Charlie looked comfortable at the lower weight as he pinned Cleveland’s John Kleban. After a scoreless first period, both wrestlers received back points in the second round and scored IS points between them. In the third, Wright used his counters and caught Kleban early for the pin. “I thought I’d be weaker,” said Wright. “He went over easier than I’d anticipated.” To the dismay of many Cleveland fans the Charlie Wright—Chuck Ehrhart match did not come off. They were hoping to see their giant heavyweight (6’9”, 380 lbs.) go against the diminutive Buffalo star, the fifth ranked heavyweight in the country. Man vs. Mountain Instead, the hopeless task of man vs. mountain was given to volunteer Ted Kucharski, who weighed in at half of Ehrhardt’s weight. “I grabbed his leg a few times but it was planted like the foundation of a building,” said Kucharski, a sophomore engineering major. “He engulfed me.” Ted was pinned in the second period. “I did’nt force anyone to wrestle Ehrhart,” said Coach Ed Michael, anticipating criticism that it is unsafe to let anyone wrestle Cleveland’s monster. Faddoul, now 16-1, pulled out a narrow victory over Cleveland’s Les Steidl at 177. In one of Emad’s poorer matches, he managed to win on a pair of back points from a third period cradle. “I felt bad all week and I just couldn’t get anything going. It was a bad match for me,” he said. Young defeated Frank Sorace at 134 for his 100th collegiate victory against five defeats. Jim felt as though the Vikings had scouted him well. “He (Sorace] closed me off from the outside and eliminated my snapdown.” A duckunder takedown insured the victory over an opponent he called his “strongest ever.” —Brlsson Hot (hooting guard Chris Barone has been leading the Women's basketball team in scoring all season, filling the scoring void left by injured star center Anne Trapper. Chris, who picked up 11 and 13 points in games last week, hat been the major reason Coach Carolyn Thomas' charges have playes so well without their center. Her consistent play has earned her The Spectrum's Athlete of the Week honors. Jeff Baker's inspired performance in the Akron basketball game and another record breaking swim by freshman butterflyer George Finelli receive honorable mention.

Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer The hockey Bulls lowered their record to 11-16-1 last Saturday as they were stymied by the Ithaca Bombers, 8-2. The Bulls arrived at Cornell University’s Lynah Rink (Ithaca’s home ice) late and were obviously disorganized in the opening period. “1 imagine it will take us a period to get wanned up,” Coach Ed Wright said. “I just hope we can keep it close.” For the first 17 minutes the Bulls did keep it close but a defensive lapse and a great individual effort by Bomber forward Chuck Joynt resulted in a 1-0 Ithaca advantage. The Bulls’ saktes became blunt, however, and Ithaca scored three times in the closing minutes of the opening stanza. As expected, the Bulls turned things around in the second period. For fifteen minutes, Buffalo peppered Ithaca goalie John Mouradian with shots while Buffalo goalie Don Maracle stood idle in his own net. But the Bulls only tallied twice, and when Ithaca dorward Robert Jackson scored his second of three goals, the Bulls were in a bind again. Why play? The Bulls would have been better off staying in the locker room for the third period. Maracle, who had been playing his best game of the year, was beaten badly twice and the Bulls had trouble controlling the puck in Ithaca ice.

P.O. Box 617-U Cathedral Station New York, New York, 10025 Yeo, Jackson, and Greg Cicchetti poured in six goals, as Alan Howell’s defense work kept the Bulls bottled up for almost the entire game. Wright still had playoff hopes for the Bulls going into the game, but he said that the Bulls would have to win all three of their remaining games to be considered for post-season play. So the Ithaca loss eliminated any playoff aspirations for the 1975 season. Buffalo cloks out the season with two games against archrival Oswego State next weekend at Holiday Twin Rinks. 8:11.5.

Those whose pregnancy is too advanced are referred elsewhere, Ms. Buckham explained. The Center’s staff includes three doctors and seven social workers, and offers a relatively new, cheap method of abortion called menstrual extraction (ME), costing about $60. ME employs the same equipment as suction curettage, but uses a smaller suction tip to remove the contents of the utuerus. The clinic gegan offering ME in May 1973, and had only one patient a week. Because of increasing awareness about abortion methods, there are now five patients a week who undergo the operation. The survey, which was sponsored by the Albert Guttmacher Institute of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, was designed to measure the impact of that decision. The Supreme Court ruling did not greatly affect New York State since the New York legislature had passed a similar law in 1970. However, the Court’s depision did ease the crowding in New York’s medical facilities, by ordering all states to allow abortions. Buffalo’s only independent, licensed abortion clinic is Erie Gamble Medical Center. Even with the For a woman to use the Supreme Court ruling, it has procedure, she must obtain a experienced a decrease in demand negative pregnancy test and have for abortions since 1973. no detectable uterine Last year 3,986 abortions were enlargement. The operation must performed, 40 percent less than be performed early in pregnancy; the year before, according to no less than five or more than 14 Marilyn Buckham, Director of the days after the first menstrual Center. These figures do not period is missed. It is even include people the clinic has possible, that the woman may not counselled, however. have been pregnant it is a gamble she takes. The evidence of this New method The Center requires that technique’s success at Erie women be pregnant no more than Medical, according to Ms eleven weeks after the first day of Buckham, is that out of the 300 their last menstrual period. The to 400 patients who have clinic has seen about 1,000 undergone menstrual extraction. - only one became pregnant afterwards. Unfortunately, one drawback of the ME procedure is that it presently is not covered by medical insurance. The clinic’s other abortion procedure, suction curettage, takes four hours to perform. It is lower in time and cost than a hospital abortion because it requires a local anesthesia instead of a general one. The actual operation takes only three to six minutes depending upon the length of pregnancy. Post-abortion contraceptives Usually, the abortion procedure is explained beforehand, a social worker is present during the procedure, and the women are counselled about birth control methods before they leave the clinic. Erie Medical also requires a follow-up check up by the clinic itself or a licensed doctor. The clinic distributes contraceptives to its patients in the form of pills, diaphragms and loops, and will also soon be providing “copper sevens.” “Quite often women haven’t heard of contraceptives until our briefing," commented a spokeswoman from Erie Medical. “Many think the pill is the only method.” She noted the importance of a post -abort ion contraceptive service for lowering the future birth rate. Private doctors and hospitals in Buffalo carry the remainder of the abortion caseload. All of the major hospitals in Buffalo offer early abortions by D and C (dilation of the cervice and curettage) and late abortion by saline or rostin injections into the amniotic sac, or hysterectomy, which is major surgery. Of the Buffalo major hospitals General, Children’s Deaconess, Meyer Memorial and Millard only Deaconess has a Fillmore specialized abortion clinic. — — Less hospitalization The prostaglandin technique is the newest abortion innovation and can be used effectively after sixteen weeks of pregnancy. It employs prostins synthetically constructed but originally derived from the prostate gland, which stimulates uterine contraction. Prostins require less fluid to be injected into the amniotic sac than in a saline injected procedure, and less hospitalization (24—36 hours instead of 36—48) after saline-induced labor. Additionally, there is less chance of post-abortion sickness in patients because of the salt, and it requires less intravenous injections of medication to help induce labor. Children’s Hospital performs two prostaglandins a month, according to Mary Hurd, an obstetrical assistant. The use of abortion procedures involving prostaglandin suppositories —continued on page 4— Distinguishing between native, foreign minorities The University has never supplied information comparing the number of foreign-bom minorities with the number of American-born minorities included in Affirmative Action figures because until now “no one has ever asked,” according to Jim De Santis, Director of University Information Services. The Spectrum is seeking information that will distinguish between the number of foreign nationals and American minorities included in University minority hiring statistics released last week. Oswald assistant Rendon-Herrero, professor of Civil Engineering, charged last week that the statistics, which indicated a marked increase in minority faculty staff here, are misleading because group both American and foreign minorities under general headings and they born like “black” and “Spanish.” But Mr. DeSantis claims that if foreign nations were excluded from the existing pool of qualified black PhD’s, almost one-fifth of the existing pool would be lost. About 1.2 percent of the existing pool of qualified PhD’s are black. ‘Little attention’ Citizenship is one area that has practically been ignored in prior examinations of the Affirmative Action program, Mr. DeSantis said. President Robert Ketter reported Wednesday that the University had asked complicated by situations where certain employees may or may not declare themselves members of a minority group of where foreign nationals only provide a local address and fail to mention if they are citizens of another country. Dr. Ketter said. federal officials who oversee the Affirmative Action programs if minority members hired under the program should only be United States citizens, but that the federal officials had said no. Although Dr. Rendon-Herrero agreed that excluding foreign nationals from Affirmative Action recruitment efforts would decrease the pool of qualified minority candidates, and make recruitment efforts more difficult, he said, “That’s their excuse for not making the effort.” Dr. Rendon-Herrero felt that recruitment efforts which depend on availability lists cannot be successful, and that a more vigorous recruitment effort would be needed to place minorities in those departments where they continue to be underrepresented, despite recent hiring advances. Still behind Although minority hiring continues to lag in fields like Physics, Chemistry and Civil Engineering, he said that he personally knew of many qualified Puerto Rican PhD’s in these areas. That these qualified PhD’s are only a small group should not overshadow the fact that they do exist, he believes. “Give me a field, and I’ll find them [qualified minority PhD’s)for you,” Dr. Rendon-Herrero asserted. Dr. Ketter said that including foreign —Jensen Oswald Rendon-Herrero nationals in minority hiring figures “does not subvert the intention” of the Affirmative Action progra, and. that he knows of “no conscious effort to subvert Affirmative Action here. He explained that it was difficult to determine citizenship, and that he wasn’t sure if the University would be able to supply accurate data. The problem is No degrees Asked about those departments where minorities are still far behind in gaining adequate representation, Dr. Ketter replied that, in Civil Engineering, “they don’t have the degrees,” He added: “It would not be to anyone’s advantage to hire anyone who is not qualified.” Dr. Rendon-Herrero contends that minority students have difficulty in reaching PhD level qualifications partly because there is no financial aid available to them. He asserted last week that inordinate amounts of money are being spent to underwrite the cost of educating foreign students in graduate engineering programs, while there is little or no money available to American minorities. Dr. Ketter said that in the past four years the University has been refused “EOP-type money for graduate and professional schools.” “We feel it is valid, but we can’t get it,” he said. Dr. Ketter also said the University has “no special program for foreign nationals” either. �Attention candidates ,<tiI* Tlu l*»witolity of the good life for any ,u n on the possibility of realizing 11 .til mm.

Buckminster Fuller, in a speech at the School of Architecture and Design Tuesday evening, called for rechanneling the world’s energies towards human development with a priority on human living rather than human killing. In an age when speeches often concern themselves with the downfall and corruption of humanity, the 80-year old humanitarian criticized the pessimistic view of mankind. Even children are endoctrinated with the ideas that the environment will never be able to accommodate everyone and that society will soon collapse. Dr. Fuller said. “Socialists believe we are all going to die slowly and capitalists believe only the fittest are going to survive. They are all waiting for the downfall,” he claimed. On priorities Unfortunately, developed along this science and technology have line, said Dr. Fuller, citing as an example the priority given to engineering in the military and the “anti-priority” given to domestic needs. in both the navy and trade, he claimed, made him realize how the architecture world advanced to meet Dr, Fuller’s experiences building little civilians’ needs in comparison to the progress made in the Navy and Air Force. “In 1954, the Marine Corps developed ‘55 footers’ that could be flown through hurricanes, yet today we still have not devised that ideal home,” Dr. Fuller noted. He then shot a question at President Robert Ketter, who was sitting in the audience. “Dr. Ketter, you’re an engineer, how much does this building we’re sitting in weigh? “I have no idea,” replied Dr. Ketter. ‘ universe ’ To underscore the misuses of technology, Dr. Fuller related a personal experience he had with Dr. Albert Einstein. “I knew Dr. Einstein well. I wrote a publication one of the chapters I entitled 'E=Mrs. Murphey’s Horsepower.’ “Dr. Einstein laughed and responded, ‘Young man, 1 can never conceive of this theory as having practical application.' “You can .imagine how e felt when Hiroshima became the first practical application of his theory." Pausing for a moment, he added. “He went through terrible pain his last few years over that " More on the mind Dr. Fuller emphasized that in order to change the environment for the benefit of mankind, we must stop relying on bureaucracies and corporations, and depend on the human intellect. "There is no greater intellect operating in this universe than the human mind. 'he said. Dr. Fuller explained that a great deal of knowledge of the universe can he obtained front the ability of the human mind to. draw abstract relationships "The little individual often penniless is capable of so much." he said, and discredited "and can work within the natural design of the universe by developing available resources." Man can examine what human problems need immediate attention and develop tools to aid the environment, so by ldS5, he can enjoy a good life without the use of atomic energy. Dr. Fuller insisted. “We are all the fittest and we can all survive if we learn to employ the knowledge nature has given us to aid the environment and to aid mankind," he surmised.

It also tabled a proposal to stop funding home games scheduled during vacation. A representative of the Ad Hoc Committee for Mandatory Student Fee Reform addressed the Assembly, soliciting membership for his Committee, which Athletics (SFA). The Assembly approved the nomination of Dennis Delia as SARB Chairman and named Mark Giasante and Robert Cohen as the two Assembly representatives to SARB. Members of the SFA presented their “demands” to the Assembly. Wrestler Jim Young, the spokesman for the group, said it wanted the athletic program fully restored. “All we’re asking for is a fair shake . We want everything back,” Mr. ,. Young asserted. If SFA did not get what it wanted, it people’s “ask for certain resignations” and “blow the lid” off alleged corruption, Mr. Young said. Rich Hochman, Vice President for Sub-Board responded that he had spent hours of work on the athletic budget and knew of no corruption. “1 challenge you to blow the fuckin’ lid if there’s a lid to blow If something’s wrong / want to know about it,” he declared. In other athletic business, the Assembly would ... Executive Vice President Scott Salimando made an official Assembly committee. The committee will look into the possibility of a voluntary check-off system that would allow students to determine where their money would go.

The College plan had projected an enrollment of 850 students by 1980, with 200 new students entering next Fall. Many of its students are from minority groups. Shortly after the Regents originally vetoed the expansion, the SUNY, Board of Trustees publicly urged the Regents to reconsider their action. It is generally agreed that the Regents were bowing to pressures from Long Island private colleges which are being increasingly burdened with lessening enrollment, inflation and other financial problems. Cutting back after the Regents announced that they would allow the business program to begin, the Presidents of Old Westbury, Hofstra Univesrity, Adelphi University, C.W. Post College, New York Institute of Technology and Dowling College met with officials of the State Education Department and formulated a compromise proposal. Under the new plan, 170 students will be enrolled in the first year of Management programs instead of 200, as the College had projected. The compromise also calls for the programs to be evaluated after two years. The Board of Regents is also expected to give final approval after the State Immediately Education Department officially approves the compromise.

They termed the Regents’ action “undeserved.” and pointed out that thousands of two-year college graduates from the area are forced to go to other regions of New York or leave the State completely to pursue their undergraduate careers. The Colleges at Old Westbury and Stony Brook are the only four-year State University campuses on Long Island. balanced network education higher , SUNDAY all to SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer indicated that State University has already cut back on projected growth at Old Westbury “I remain convinced that stopping development of Old Westbury is a tragic disservice to the citizens of Long Island,” he said The need for public higher education on Long Island must be allowed to develop in response to demands for equal educational opportunity, Dr. Boyer added. Criticism charging a general lack of concern has also been leveled against the Board of Regents. “The Regents have maintained a policy of neglect for low-cost, public higher education and this is another example,” asserted Ray Glass, legislative Director of the Student Association of the State University (SASU). “The whole issue of the lack of public input into the decision-making process and the inadequacy of public higher education facilities for Long Island taxpayers should be explored,” said Irwin Landes, Chairman of the State Assembly Higher Education Committee, Mr, Landes has called for public hearings on February 20 and 21 to examine the broader issues of higher education.

Freshman Ilene Cohn became the first State 1968 to place in University at Buffalo an intercollegiate Debate tournament last semester when she came in fifth in the “persuasive speaking” event in a tournament with Niagara University. This past weekend, Ms. Cohn brought two more trophies home, this time from Ithaca College. She placed third in the “extemporaneous,” fourth in the “persuasive,” and narrowly missed qualifying for final competition in the impromptu speaking event. the about especially happy am “I Ms. Cohn said. “I trophy,” speaking extemporaneous really felt I would do well in it.” In high school, Ms. Cohn placed fourth in New York State and seventh in the nation in this event, on a speech team that included Student Association (SA) President Frank Jackalone and Executive Vice President Scott Salimando. “Frank helped me a lot he’s an excellent speaker himself,” she said. — Rebuilding Ms. Cohn, who is Vice President of the Club, discussed the Debate University’s organization’s preparations for the tournament that will be held here on April 4th and 5th. “Invitations are being made out now, and will be sent very soon to schools all along the eastern seaboard. We expect a good number to accept and attend,” Ms. Cohn said. Included on the list of invited schools are Cornell. Penn State, and the University of Vermont. This University's Debate Club will not participate in the event, which is customary for the host school in a tournament. Team members will instead act as coordinators and timekeepers. During tire two Jays, junior varsity team debates and individual speaking events will be held, and buffet lunches will be provided for the participants, although the Debating Club isn’t able to offer them dorm space. Ms. Cohn explained. The two-day competition, the Janet Potter Memorial Tournament, is in honor of the late coach Ilene Cohn of the Debate Club, who died in 1968. “After her death,” Ms. Cohn said, “the team sort of fell apart. But we’re active now and we’re rebuilding. In the sixties Buffalo had a really strong team, and our goal is to work our way back up.” - She added that Mr. Jackalone has agreed to deliver a welcoming address to the participants and distribute trophies in the award presentation ceremony which closes the tournament.

Because they are classified as “passive” recreation “zoos go under Z, at the bottom of the priority list for municipal financing,” he said. Mr. Beyer expects to open a breeding farm in the future and plans to leave only some exhibits at the present facility. For now, he is busy breeding endangered Narkhor sheep and Gemsboks, But endangered animals present a problem, since they really should not be used in experimentation. Nels Werner 111, director of the Buffalo Zoological Gardens, does not favor some of the new ideas. “Mr. Caras’ ideas tend to be expensive,” he said, alluding to the technological renovations. But he was optimistic about Mr. Caras’ suggestions for municipal zoos, since his and other non-profit organizations were Spectrum Another solution would be to link the television cables, so visitors can enjoy the simultaneous benefit of various exhibits. Such attractions as which demonstrations, micro-sound amplify animan heartbeats or bird’s wings, zoos together through could also be utilized, Mr. Carras believes. These zoos would emphasize the animal’s natural habitat, and serve a parallel function to natural history museums and botanical gardens. City-owned zoos are at the greatest disadvantage, Mr. Caras said, because they become “mired in a morass of local bureaucracy.” With rising costs, additional is being spent for feed and money maintenance, and less for renovation. Conservation, education that the traditional recreational aspects recently asked to cut back finances. The zoo can be funded from four sources: city capital construction money, which is nearly exhausted; county capital money, although the county is against funding a city facility; a county wide revenue bond; or tax deductible private donations, which will probably be sought Mr. Werner depression, the Buffalo facility funding peaked thereafter. Mr. Werner recalled that during the zoos fared very well. The was built then. The zoo’s in the 1950’s and declined said that last year, the operating budget was $1,059,000, a figure which exceeded the original budget request by $24,000. More than $70,000 was spent about feed, $45,000 on on and maintenance. It is generally agreed that renovating a major exhibit would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Municipal zoos are generally more resistant to innovations, because of the lack of community support needed to finance them, Mr, Werner said. “Audio-visual aids are fine,” he added, of problem “but there is the overstimulation through that media . . . We need the personal contact.” All threy maintained that some zoos are in dire financial trouble. Meanwhile, the zoos can keep up with each other through a yearly regional conference, the American Association of Zoological Parks and Aquariums, an international yearbook, and non-scientific circulars. Classics Innovating learning program by Ilene Dube Feature h.ditor Classics lias never been an easy subject to learn in the classroom, especially in a tomb-like place like Foster Hall Thai is why Jonathon Ketchum teaches Greek and Latin classics to fifteen students on his (arm in Clarence.

A residential living learning students, to qualified all program open or Ketchum claims the Mr. undergraduate graduate. track record tor one student in his program is 7 years from his sophomore to his doctorate. Mr. Ketchum, a graduate student in philosophy, considers the concept of his residential college traditional.” “radically English programs evolved in the Ivy League colleges, with traditionally Latin and Greek as a background. The Oxford-Cambridge tradition was to rebuild the Roman Empire into the traditional English Empire, Mr. Ketchum explained. He said there is currently a revolution in twentieth century understanding of Latin and Greek classics. “We are first getting good texts within the last thirty to forty years,” Mr. Ketchum emphasized. Maxwell’s equation The student population, as a whole, has not been especially responsive to the study of classics. mammoth that, “Either or there is a communications problem,” Mr. Ketchum believes. “Talk to a student about Maxwell’s equation, and he probably would not want to talk about it, since he knows nothing about it.” The biggest problem in getting across the classic tradition today is that many believe it has been carefully inspected and rejected, Mr. Ketchum maintained. But he feels that the history of scholarship, while unexciting, brings up many issues people are interested in today. One pre-Socratic philosopher, Heraclitis, has been enormously influential in the last hundred years, Mr. Ketchum said, noting that “Lenin had said he could base his entire logic on this man.” Mr. Ketchum claims to have a new interpretation of Platonic philosophy, which he has Friday, been teaching for the past 16 years. Asked to describe it so that a layperson could understand, he said it combined the French structuralist, anthropologic, and comparative religion approaches. Political involvement Mr. Ketchum’s classical philosophy is more intimately concerned with politics and religion than traditional approaches, and differs from modern philosophy, which looks at the origins of natural science. Mr. Ketchum claims his interpretation has a more cognent sense of political and social order, and religious inspriation. The “campus” consists of an old farmhouse, which Mr. Ketchum rebuilt himself, and a library of 7000 books. It was formerly affiliated with College B, but is now independent and receives no University funding. Seminars meet once a week, usually on the Philosophy of Plato, and occasionally Hegel. The seminars are semi-formal, but disciplined, and are often carried over to the conversations at mealtime. Studying is informal, and usually consists of reading in the library. Combined assets Mr. Ketchum feels he has combined the resources of a large university with the atmosphere of a small college. “There are people, in various departments of the university, who would give their eye teeth to get this kind of private education in private schools,” he claims. While some students have stayed for only one semester, and others for as long as seven years, Mr. Ketchum claims it takes at least three years to come to a thorough understanding of Plato. Student response to the program has been small, the emphasis an innovation. “Isn’t it a shame that youth is wasted on the young,” he asked, quoting George Bernard Shaw. “So many students are competing in the pre-med department, yet most of them will fail.” Although Mr. Ketchum hopes to see more students “becoming liberated through the liberal arts,” he does not plan on lowering his standards to everyone who applies.

Spectrum Page five . �totiaI TRB No place to go Only seven years after the State University College at Old Westbury was founded to expand educational opportunities for the "culturally by-passed," the college is The Administration’s present stance is, if 1 grasp it, that the economy is in worse shape than anybody supposed but that we should do less about it than the Democrats suggest. This conflict appears to spring from a doctrinal contradiction around the White House. Theoretically, Administration spokesmen accept the need for temporary budget deficits and a tax cut, but in their hearts they want to balance the budget. Their skepticism shows all around the edges. Yes, cut taxes, they say, but not very much and in such a way that the rebate will encourage the more fortunate to go into the market and buy “big ticket” items, like cars; and the tax cut needn’t be so drastic that it can’t be modified by boosting the price of oil products across the board. That will add two percent to the cost of living the Administration admits (others say four percent), but so what? The country can bear the difference. Furthermore, let’s not let socialism get its foot in the door while we are stimulating the economy. Mr. Ford has a $17 billion package of spending cutbacks that the conservatives at Treasury and the Council of Economic Advisers must have rubbed their hands over. They are sacrifices for the less fortunate; federal pensions, Medicaid, payments for dental services, rodent centers, health neighborhood control. immunization, veneral disease control, food stamps, and other agencies that serve the poor and the elderly. Mr. Ford is not hard-hearted but these paternalistic Federal services threaten a mystical concept that he shares with his advisers of what the federal government should do and of how far it should do it The President is quite trank about this in his Budget and Economic messages. Yes. he says, “our present welfare system is inefficient and inequitable." and. yes. he says. “America needs to improve the way il pays for medical care.” Bur do something //me'. 1 Not at all: we must save money. And so the Ford paradox appears, boosting the deficit by cutting taxes on one hand and reducing it on the other by starving welfare. Wo treed a program, he explains, that “avoids a growing preponderance ot the public sector over the private." The line of demarcation between these sectors is quite clear, lie implies: "Spending by all levels of government now makes up a third of our national output." Mr. Ford says in his budget message. Anything above that is dangerous: "We must begin to limit the rate of growth of o'ur budgetary commitments in the domestic assistance area to sustainable levels." It should be frozen at one-third. Mr. Ford is surrounded by advisers who passionately believe this. Treasury Secretary who thinks the federal deficit Simon, “horrifying,” told David Broder that continuing on this path will “destroy the finest, most productive economy and the freest society mankind has ever created.” Alan Greenspan, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, thinks so too; you can see how awkward it is for reluctant conservatives like this to run a deficit rescue operation which they abhor and how confusing it becomes for them when the Democrats want to carry it further. being threatened by both state and private interests. When the college sought to widen the scope of its undergraduate programs to include business management last year, the State Board of Regents which is dominated by private — vetoed the idea because they felt it would existing curricula at surrounding private interests duplicate institutions Regents have now rescinded their veto, largely The because the SUNY Board of Trustees and other academic interests attacked them for being insensitive to thousands of students who would need to enroll in local colleges because of mounting economic pressures. While it is fortunate that the did not Regents succeed in their conscious discrimination against public institutions, and that fewer Long Island students will have to pay for more expensive out-of-town educations, the Trustees and State legislature should be aware of the dangers of making Old Westbury into just another ordinary state college Enrollment at the College has always been skewed toward blacks, chicanos, veterans and working people groups which have traditionally encountered the greatest obstacles to education. Its interdisciplinary programs are among the most innovative in the state, and were designed to meet the specific needs of culturally bypassed students. While it is important that as many people as possible be provided access education, opening up Old to higher Westbury to unlimited numbers of middle class whites at the expense of minorities could destroy its original mission learning offer opportunities culturally to deprived individuals. That is why the State Assembly, in hearings to begin next Thursday on the inadequacy of public higher education facilities for Long Island taxpayers, must realize that the issue is not simply one of public vs. private, but ensuring the survival of programs that are crucial to eliminating a long list of injustices that have been directed towards certain segments of society for decades. Students who cannot afford enroll in out-of-town institutions should certainly be given the opportunity to attend colleges and universities that are close to home, but not at the exclusion of those who to have never had any place to go.

Doctrinaires have yielded a lot of ground question then too, what to do “Balance budgets!” cried Bernard Baruch. “Stop spending money we haven’t got. Sacrifice for frugality and revenue. Cut government spending cut it as rations are cut in tax everybody for everything! a siege. Tax That was the advice Hoover got. And so on went Paul Block of the Block newspapers: “First in importance is the balancing of our budget.” Murray Nicholas Butler: “Governmental economy and balanced budgets.” Jerry Ford’s sharp-eyed economists are no fools; they know as well as anybody an apple from an orange or a linear extrapolation from a decelerating monetary aggregate. But their inner turmoil show up in the signals the White House sends out to the nation. Gone are the days of WIN buttons and a five percent added surtax. But uncertainly over the severity of the crisis persists. John Chancellor interviewed Mr. Ford on TV January 23. “The resiliency of the American economy is such that we are going to rebound from this recession,” the President said comfortingly, “and I think we will do it more quickly and in a belter way than most pessimists say.” Would seven percent unemployment continue and would it block him from running in 1976? he was asked. He didn’t expect it to last and he would run he said. Bui 11 days later came the Budget’s own forecasts that unemployment will hover around eight percent for the rest of this year, and the next. It makes Mr. Ford’s chances seem remote. We must admire the Administration’s candor, however, in putting the estimate out. This is certainly different from the early 30’s when the unfortunate Hoover not merely took an optimistic line but sometimes bent the facts to since 1929, There was a - - - sustain it. Some people think they see a pattern in the Administration’s reaction; it views the economy hopefully when discussing its own recovery plans, and fearfully when discussing the Democrats’. But no simple law governs anything here anymore. For instance, last week, Greenspan briefed reporters on the dangers of inflation in years to come; then he discounted the hopeful upsurge of the stock market, and finally he pleaded for a revival of public confidence. It is indeed a confusing city. Friday, 14 February 1975 reform To the Editor. I think every student at this hallowed University should be very proud at this moment of the student body. In a recent referendum which was held over a three-day period, a magnificent total of 3,652 people took part in a process which is a right and a privilege (and they say the youth of America don’t give a damn!). This referendum was important. It dealt with money and the right of taking it away from, or keeping it for, the individual. The important matter as 1 see it is not whether you were for the fee or against it, but just why in the world did only 3,652 people show what they wanted. by Page.six - - — vacant .

We shouldn’t be in this situation. But we must weigh risk against risk. How about that of crime and social turmoil when unemployed workers run out of food? UAW President Leonard Woocock brings 9,000 jobless workers here this weekend to remind Washington of what is going on, and he says the supplemental unemployment benefit funds, to which the employer contributes, will run out for the Chrysler unemployed in March, and for GM workers in May-June. (They will still get separate federal insurance.) But things are beginning to pinch, and millions of people have no insurance at all. Unemployment insurance is one of those costly federal intrusions into the free enterprise system that worry the administration so much, and that are now cumulatively softening the recession for millions of scared Americans. The U.S. almost alone among great nations has no family allowances, and no system of national health insurance. These systems would be expensive, too; but they would be built-in stabilizers right now against another Great Now the issue pf the fee has been decided this minority I hope that our government will look at the way it is handled. Now is the time for reform and maybe more or all students can be satisfied. The best reform method I see is the one expressed by Fran Edgerton in the “Guest Opinion” {The Spectrum, 2/3/75). At least now let your voice be heard. It is your MONEY!! I think the students of this School also appreciated the Nixonite method, of buying votes which occurred in Haas 2/5/75. That mqney and all other funds used politically should have gone to CAC or some other worthy group. Our government has been a disappointment but change comes from participation.

Delaney �UUAB concert Holland Oates flashy: Orleans a together group by Wills Bassen Music Editor to flow right into the next Although it is only natural that with their background seemed referring to is the Rundgren taint that kept popping up in from the little dance the flash the group exhibited routines to the Moog Used to simulate (very effectively) horns and strings to the heavy echo on the guitar leads. It was obvious that Hall and Oates were separate and distinct from the band backing them up (I later learned they had only been together for six shows). Maybe that's why the bass player had to keep jumping around like a gorilla maybe he didn’t know all the changes yet and wanted to cover up. It also seemed that Darryl Hall was the more talented of the two. Even through the awful PA, I could hear that he had an excellent voice and performing style (on the keyboards he played). While Oates's harmonies were very pleasing and tight with Hall's, his major function seemed to be that of human metronome for the rest of the band, keeping the beat by bouncing his guitar off his pelvis in perfect time, something he has obviously practiced. — Goddamn this cold (sniffle). Goddamn this cold weather. Maybe I caught it last Friday night, 'walking across the field to Clark Gym in that windy 10 degree snowstorm (—15 degrees with the windchill). I couldn't believe that people were actually standing in line in that weather. Not that I wasn't glad. It's just that all things especially considered, I didn't expect a large turnout since my preview had gone sans photos, and had probably had no impact at all. Clark Gym was about three-quarters full, and the emptiest I've ever seen it for a concert. It was nice, though, not to be squeezed into a 2-inch square for three hours. Hall and Oates was the first act, and I found myself in the unique position of having no preconceived value judgements about them, having never really heard anything by them (except "She's Gone," the one with the bullet). I can't tell you the name of the first song they did, but it was bright and brash. The levels were incredibly loud, with a lot of resultant feedback and distortion, but through it all, I could tell that there was sonething good underneath. Though I couldn't hear the vocals enough to understand a word of the lyrics, I could tell just by the chord changes, the arrangment and the sneaky smiles on the band's faces that it was some kind of tongue-in-cheek story. As a matter of fact, that was the feeling I got from everything they did. Blonde Hall and dark, curly-haired Oates were wearing all-black and all-white vinyl outfits (respectively), and I'm sure that their resemblemce to the two Scotties on the Black and White Whiskey label was not toally unintentional. — Rundgren residua But not to ramble on. Perhaps what I'm really in club dates the band draws from all sorts of music for their material (jazz, rock, boogie, folk), the key to their uniqueness is firmly planted in the reggae beat. They slip it in behind other rhythms so subtly that you don't even notice it, but it's in 40 percent of their songs, and it's part of what makes songs like "It All Comes Back Again," "Please Be There" and "If" so bouncy and enjoyable. While Hall and Oates relied on visual techniques to keep the crowd's attention, Orleans’ muscial diversification did the trick for them. For instance, one of the most enjoyable points of the set was when Wells Kelly (drummer) and John Hall (lead guiatrist) switched instruments for a few songs. On one of the songs "I'm a — Good material No, but seriously, folks, the material itself was quite good. Slick, imaginative, and diversified. They would do with a mandolin and (like "Lady Rain”) one song and would think "ah, I can pretty, melodic harmonies, I see where they're coming from. Seals and Crofts crossed with the Kinks!" Then they would do a real slick, up-tempo, "city" sounding compositon. "Ah, Sophistocate city. Maybe it's Todd's influence." Then another one "oh, yea, mid-sixities English rock and roll." What made the whole act so pleasant in the final anaylsis was the group's attitude not that they were goofing off (because actually, the band itself was not as bad as the PA, the mix, the acoustics and the lack of practice that handicapped them). But they didn't take themselves too seriously, either, so they brought everything off with a sort of musical pose (except for the aforementioned bassist, who must have gone to too many Grand Funk concerts). Anyway, I'm a convert that is, I — Bum" (bum bum a bop de doobie showie). Wells sang the lead votal and performed an outrageous finger-picked and plucked solo on Hall's Fender. On the other one, Hall fully lived up to his statement that he "loves this song because I get to beat the hell out of the toms." There was also an excellent (would ya believe) double kazoo solo on a ragtime number. And lest they remain unmentioned, brothers Lance and Larry Hoppen did their share, Larry jumping back and forth from keyboards to rhythm and lead guitar, and Lance keeping a steady, — — — proficient bass line. — — — bought War Babies, their latest, and do you know when the last time I bought a Subtly exciting To my way of thinking, Orleans is the kind of group their prowess shows through that excites in the best way not in individual flashy riffs or cute routines, but; in producing music in which all parts are excellent, intertwined and inseparable. The tight kicks and harmonies, the feeling that they're all in the same musical things like these make them a place at the same time group in the true sense of the word. Well, the crowd must have thought Orleans was pretty good after all, because it got them back for two encores. They must have known the crowd thought they were pretty good, because they saved their hit via Janis Joplin ("Half Moon") for the second encore. In a way, I wished they hadn't come back to do it, because to announce it. Hall said, "I wrote this song four years ago and it's record was? — Second gear However pleasant Hall and Oates were, there is inevitably a reason why one group headlines over another, and it was immediately apparent when they came out why Orleans came on last. First, in contrast to the flashy Philly fellas, these guys were dressed very quietly, and you got the feeling that they were stripped down and ready for action (remember Duane and his T-shirts?). No muss, nc fuss, no announcements, they were just suddenly on stage and playing. They started with an up tempo but mellow number must be on their forthcoming (second) album The crowd must have still been hopped up from Hall and Oates' slam-bang finale ("Is It A Star Or Is It Me?"), because they were extremely called "Hit Me With Music," which haunted us ever since." To put it another way, I had a dream last Friday night that I was a guest in John Hall's house. I opened the cupboard and there was a picture of Janis pasted to the inside wall. We went into the bedroom, and there it was above the bed. I loooked at him with the unspoken question. He looked back at me, shook his head, and smiled sadly. unattentive. I was so glad to be able to hear all the instruments and vocals at a satisfactory decibel level that I didn’t much care about the rest of the crowd Orleans' members aie veteran performers, and the timing of their set was very subtle. Although they started on a mellow note, as the set progressed, the songs just got the crowd shut up. better and heavier, more exciting The band did just about every song on their album, as well as most of what will be on their new one, and each song — —Ratlneti f V???J V'JEC.Cli'f i‘ ’ , ii fi 1 } r.| *Jjf f *£ !S£6 J �Warhol's 'Drac where the Catholic Church's influence supposedly by Bill Maraschiello Spectrum Staff Writer Andy Warhol's Dracula has little to do with either Andy Warhol or Dracula.

A film like the 1940's version of The Front Page (called His Gal Friday ) might draw an audience that was truly nostalgic (for the 40's) and that would be fine since the feeling would be sincere and especially because it happens that His Girl Friday is such a funny, spunky, enchanting film. The newspaper office in that 40's film really seemed attractive and wacky. In the current movie, it just seems tacky. — — - — Stop the presses It's not that a filmmaker today can't capture a convincing sense of the past it's done all the time. But it isn't done in The Front Page, just as it wasn't done in The Great Gatsby film. The new Front Page is as bogus and forced as Scott Joplin's piano rags sounded when The Sting orchestrated them. I rather doubt whether any film adapted from a 1920's script will seem anything like the 1920's. The Front Page is a film for people (and there are a lot of them) who like ersatz nostalgia. It's an imprecise, lifeless, an ad-agent's conception negligable, screeching, jaded, glossy gyp of a movie. It stars Malter Matthau (imprecise). Jack Lemmon but also funny), Carol (lifeless), Susan Sarandon (negligable Burnett (screeching), was directed by Billy Wilder (jaded) and is playing at the Boulevard Mall and Holiday Six theaters (glossy). This review is printed with a poor sense of timing, and that's just how the film was made. — — — TR-DH presents OPENS HIS MIND AND TAKES YOU with him i-rom THE BEGINNING FROM NEW R [ , j| \ LINE CINEMA Tl HE HUI TECHNICOLOR , — Evasive action Even Mel Brooks, in planning Young Franenstein, had to consider the deeper thematic aspects of the Shelley story and the myth that it developed. Morrissey's Frankenstein, on the other hand, was constructed with ridicule as a primary focus; to do this, he was,forced to intentionally ignore the meanings of the myth and concentrate on its most easily parodied mechanics. Since he is dealing only with selected aspects of form and totally ignoring confent, he isn't really coming to grips with his subject at all. Since he assumes that everything is shit, Morrissey's main consideration in choosing a subject is its topicality; he trusts in the jaded, sophomoric cynicism of his audience. If this malaise wasn't presumed, he would be unable to succeed as Hanging Judge in his aesthetic kangaroo court. Debunk The myth of the vampire draws on a source of great power: the Christian concept of blood as life. The vampire's powers and weaknesses, with which we're all familiar, hold a supernatural fascination. Of all representations of evil as a tangible force, it has perhaps the most strength and impact. Morrissey's Dracula, played by Udo Kier in a sort of lavendar Peter Lorre mode, is capable of striding through the broadest daylight, eating vegetarian meals, and removing a crucifix from the wall of his overnight lodgings. He's merely a psychological deviant, a psychosomatic blood junkie who undergoes withdrawal when deprived for too long of the blood or virgin girls. He's no more mystical than Richard Speck. Being a count, his habit is obviously a manifestation of bourgeois decadence, saith Morrissey. (Flip that political coin and you get George Lincoln Rockwell.) Searching for new blood, the Count leaves Rumania (in a Rolls-Royce) and travels to Italy, [R] 6:30 - 9:00 Buck & a to defeat themselves. The raunch is there. The issue I raise is not the legitimacy of bloodletting per se, but its purpose here overload to the point of satiation — and anesthesia. Morrissey's using it to help convince us that you, I, and everything that exists is mere fodder, to deaden our capacity to feel. I hope to God he fails. Co-ipomor Conference Theatre - Abandon ship There isn't much of merit to be found in this turgid flotsam. The late Vittorio DeSica, as the Italian noble, provides an occasional moment of enjoyment, though it hurts like hell to see him finish his career in such an abortion. Arno Juerging's performance as Dracula's assistant is the only legitimately successful element in the whole film. The scene where he encounters some Italian peasants in an inn achieves such an atypical level of tension and energy that it seems to have accidentally transposed from a different and far better film.

Hie Spectrum Friday, . 14 February .1975 Prodigal Sun �Studio Arena Stunning set designs in 'IS' by Jay Boyar Arts Editor In general, a set designer's talents are overlooked unless he does something wild and experimental otherwise, the whole subject of "set designing" seems . . . well, terribly dull. Set designer Michael Sharp has not done anything particularly wild for Studio Arena Theatre's (SAT) production of 13 Rue de L 'Amour-, still, the set he's fashioned is subtly and imaginatively exciting. Perhaps his most striking virtue is that his set shows that he actually and, since understands what the play is all about he's one of the very few people connected with the project who does, this is no small point. 13 Rue de L 'Amour by Georges Feydeau is a Molieresque French farce. It's a comic contraption built to move its stock characters a mechanism deliberately from point "A" to point "B" and to snatch as many laughs as possible along the way. — — — Actors in Studio Arena Theatre's 13 Rue de L'Amour: (left to right) Patricia Weber, Tom Mardirosian, Donald Moffat, Philip Minor, Gwen Arnor. — A Doll's House With precision, the traps are laid and the laughs are caught in them. The relationship of a farce like this one to a more "organic" play is like the relationship of Moog Synthesizer music to the sound of a full orchestra. In fact, Moog mood music is actually used in SAT's production of 13. The music may be a bit much, but Sharp's set is tricky and ingenious; it looks artificial (in the good sense). Between acts one and two, the set is to reconstructed as if it were a giant toy indicate a scene shift. The kind of fun you feel when you play "Cat’s Cradle" is the kind if fun in the set Sharp build, and that's the kind of play Feydeau wrote. That scene-shift got a hand from the audience the night I saw the play, and it was the most spontaneous, sincere hand of the evening Sharp's set (like Feydeau's play) is more than just gimmickry. Orange and purple colors are used to give a feeling of the bizarre and, at the same time, of warmth. There is something personal and human at the source of the set, you feel; something lustful and passionate. You especially feel this in the second act when the warm autumn moonlight (lighting by Robert Monk) oozes through the bedroom window. I first noticed Sharp's ingenuity last year at Studio Arena's production of Moliere's The Miser. Sharp's set m that case made a drawing room look like a huge bank vault to reflect the miser's view of the world. Also in The Miser was Alvah Stanley, who returns in 13 in a small role (the Inspector of Police). There was no way of guessing from the gawky performance he gave in last year's play what a really funny, intelligent performance he would give in 13. He knows he’s in a formula play, and he lets you in on the joke with his expressive, extremely theatrical voice. We know beforehand practically every line he's going to speak. He knows that we know and, without ever addressing us directly, he makes us aware of the Irony in his words. — — Baited breath In a contraption like 13, the real test of the production is in the handling of the early scenes. Near the end, all the play's traps are being sprung and the thing's bound to be funny simply because of its structure no matter who is acting and directing. It’s during those early scenes when the traps are being set that the actors must themselves be interesting: they can't rely on the material because, at that point, it isn't functioning yet. The principle actors, especially, must interest us — — Moricet (Donald Moffat) attempt* to seduce Leontine (Gwen Arner) in a scene from 13 Rue de L'Amour. Thinking of running for S.R.? r in the charaters and they must do this by two apparently contradictory methods (which are not unlike those used in the set's design): a) the actors should indirectly establish a rapport with the audience alerting us to the artificiality of the play, and b) they should bring a sense of humanity, of personally interesting energy to the roles they create. Donald Moffat, the show's star (he also starred a in The Miser) fails utterly. To the role of Moricet man whose passion moves him to seduce a friend's he brings no true passion. And instead of wife witty artificiality, we get mugging from him. He's just a clown and farce is very different from — — clowning Little miss, Moffat Feydeau's play is highly Another point dependent on detail. It's the type of play where a man's suit-size saves his reputation. Moffat is blind to detail. In the first act, the plot calls for him to leave the room, absent-mindedly taking his walking stick with him instead of an umbrella. Moffat does this, but when he returns a moment later, he has no walking stick and he isn't even wet from the rain. In fact, the only irregularity in his.clothing concerns his pant-cuffs which are caught on the backs of his shoes. (This would have been witty in the last act when pants are important to the plot, but since Moffat's cuffs are in disarray from the start, it's just sloppiness.) This sounds like nit-picking, I know, but detail is crucial to Feydeau's plot structure . . . but not, it seems, to Moffat. — As Leontine the woman Moricet attempts to Gwen Arner (she, too, was in The Miser) is seduce as big a flop as Moffat in establishing a rapport with the audience. She tries very hard (as if she were exaggerating a point for pedagogical purposes instead of for dramatic ones). She's hokey, hammy. Still, occasionally when someone else is speaking, her eyes melt, she smiles, and she seems frish and real. — — Bang Leontine's husband is Playing Duchotel Philip Minor. He does establish his ironic rapport with the audience; a bit of business he subtly injects, — — a shotgun as a surrogate penis, is effectrva. And in those opening scenes, he is both engaging'and The only problem with his soundly artificial performance is that it isn't quite enough. It goes a little flat. Jessica James as Madame Spritzer (a concierge) is like that too. Funny, engaging, but flat. And she hasn't worked out her accent well enough using to suit me Tom Mardirosian, a Buffalo-area actor whose work is always impeccably intricate, has a small role (Birabeau) 13. Mardirosian is the big in disappointment of the evening (Moffat would have been, had his past work led me to expect anything from him), Mardirosian plays his part as if it were a major comic role in an otherwise serious play instead of as what it is: a minor role in a farce. I didn't see him as Falstaff in Henry IV, Part One, but it seems like that's the type of role with which he'd be most comfortable. Seldom is a play at Studio Arena Theatre all good or all bad 13 Rue de L'Amour is no exception. Feydeau's play adapted by Mawby — — is a gem, the set is Green and Ed Fielbert gorgeous, and there's enough charm in some of the performances to make it worth a look. 13 Rue de L'Amour will be at Studio Arena Theatre through March 2nd Next on stage there will be P.S.

The Spectrum Page nine . �Our Weekly Reader Herman Wouk, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial (Pocket Books) A review of The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial may seem slightly belated, since the play was first published in hardcover in 1954. Though the book has long been off the best seller list and is no longer being produced in the theater. Pocket Books has recently brought it back to life with the first paperback publication of this story. As the title suggests, the play deals with the court-martial trial that followed the mutiny in the original story. Those familiar with the novel o.r movie may realize that this excludes a very large and important part of the plot: all of the events that occurred on board the ship before the mutiny. Attempting to fill this deficit, Herman Wouk reveals some of the more important incidents through the characters' dialogue. Whether this gives the reader adequate insight into past events is questionable, however. The original plot (and background for this trial) around the U.S.S. Caine, a destroyer operating in the Pacific in World War II. The crew discovers that its new commander, Captain Philip Francis Queeg, is emotionally unstable and becomes panicky under conditions of stress. A number of increasingly serious incidents occur, convincing the crew that Queeg is unfit for command. When the revolves ship is caught in the center of a typhoon, Queeg finally breaks down completely and nearly causes the ship to capsize. At this point he is relieved of command by the executive officer, Lt. Stephen Maryk. Coffeehouse Harmonic sounds and traditional folk A "Pleasant and Delightful" evening awaits you tonight and Saturday, when the UUAB Coffeehouse presents the ballads, broadsides and shanteys of Louis and Sally Killen, and the hamonica wizardry of Saul Broudy in Norton Hall's first floor cafeteria, beginning at 9 p.m. Lou Killen is a native of Britain, born in England of Irish parents. ONe of the leaders of the British folk revival of the Sixties, he has been hailed by folk music authorities as one of the best performers of British traditional music today ("a superb performer with an extraordinary repertoire," in the words of the New York The play begins at the court-martial of Lt. Maryk, who is accused of mutiny. Though Maryk is nervous about the trial, Queeg enters the courtroom calm, rested, and apparently in full possession of his in short, the epitome of the perfect naval faculties — officer. Various psychiatric and ship handling experts are called by the prosecution to testify that Queeg was completely sane and correct in his actions at the time of the mutiny. Although a clever struggle is put up by the defense attorney, little progress toward acquittal or conviction is made by either side. It is not until Queeg takes the stand as a witness for the defense that the turning point of the trial occurs. Here. Queeg is again placed in a stress-laden situation by the defense attorney's brilliant attack. Versatility In addition to his solo career, Lou is also a member of the Clancy Brothers, with whom he has recorded one album for Vanguard. He also has a record of his own on the ESP-Disk label. Also on the bill is Saul Brody, harmonicer extrordinaire. Saul's played harp for a whole mess of musical folks, as diverse as travel' lady Rosalie Sorrels and Loudon Wainwright III, folk's resident misanthope. He can handle anything from a Sonny Terry tune to a subtle, flutelike counterpoint with brilliance and ease. He has been known, on occasion, to pick up a guitar and render something on the order of the Fleetwood's "Mr. Blue" ("Wah-ooo, wah-ooo" remember?). Mr. Brody is a frequent visitor to Buffalo and the UUAB Coffeehouse, and, as Groucho Marx said to Margaret Dumont, "I've never heard any complaints yet."

More importantly, Lou's audiences invariably react the same way, responding to Lou's songs and his fine tin-whistle and concertina playing. Joining Lou on stage will be his wife Sally, an American who nevertheless shares Lou's love of and familiarity with British music. and his pitifully paranoid reaction is the deciding factor in the outcome of the trial. Throughout the trial, references are made to events that had occurred on board the ship and had great bearing on the courtroom proceedings. The brief descriptions of these events are quite inadequate for one to grasp their full significance, and many readers might therefore find the play lacking and unfulfilling. It is never even made clear whether or not Maryk was really guilty. To get the most out of the play, some prior knowledge of the story is a must.

Further remarks before and after the readings dealt with everything from busing and the product/service aspect of teachers' unions (New York City leader Albert Shanker is “a positive evil in terms of the school system") to Henry Kissinger's unlikely sex appeal. Comments on the government's use of bugging ("If you haven't seen a movie called The Conversation, you really should") led to Ms. Giovanni's observation that President Ford, whom she met several years ago, is "too dumb to be devious." Blacks, on the other hand, aren't politically corrupt "because we haven't got a shot at it." However, she says, "if the price for black power is corruption, then I am ready for corruption." Another side Buff 'fate Ms. Giovanni's recent poetry presents a view of life far more optimistic than her political statements. Many of the poems she read concerned the subject of love in general or the people and things she loves in particular; most were very introspective and personal, a far cry from the militant tone which pervaded much of her earlier work. "At some point or other you either change or you lie," she explained when someone questioned this apparent about-face, "or you have got to die Poet Nikki Giovanni's views extend into politicalphilosophy "How's that for soul power?" the teacher of Afro-American literature asked the huge audience applauding the All-College Gospel Choir in Buffalo State College's Union Social Hall February 4. She then introduece a different sort of "soul power," the power behind the "movement against concrete wickedness," one of the most talented and lucid spokespeople for which is Nikki Giovanni. Often called the "princess of black poetry," Ms. Giovanni addressed a capacity crowd whose questions about her political and literary philosophies, pleas for more readings of favorite poems, and requests for autographs kept her near the podium for more than an hour after the first standing ovation. Although her initial description of Buffalo as a "charming city" ("But it is, it really is!" she insisted) brought groans and laughter from many listeners, most of the impromptu remarks which preceded Ms. Giovanni's poetry reading elicited more enthusiastic responses. Her assertions that caring more about each other "could change your lives" and that "the future is what we're all about . . . the present is nowhere" perhaps best expressed Ms. Giovanni's mood. But of all the poet's opinions on the huge variety of subjects, the closing line from her "encore," a piece dedicated to Lena Horne entitled "Poem for a Lady's Voice I Like," seems most like Nikke Giovanni's personal motto: "Show me someone not full of herself, and I'll show you an empty person." going to have to make it impossible for them to turn you down . . . you've got to think about your life, "You're because nobody else is thinking about you," she instructed black students at the College, who seem to be fighting a losing battle over acceptance of their Black Student Union —Randy Schnur Contemporary dance Buff State Student Union Board at the Studio Arena The Bottom of the Bucket, But. . .

Friday, 14 February 1975 Prodigal Sun �RECORDS Yes, Relayer Gallery events (Ateo) After several months of waiting amid rumors of an imminent Relayer. It is the first break-up, Yes has come out with a new album Yes album without keyboardist supreme Rick Wakeman since the group became well-known. It was Wakeman's membership in the group that influenced its transition from rock to improvisation and experimentation. Not that the changes were all Wakeman's idea, but his presence and skills made some of the ideas of Anderson and Howe — possible. His replacement is Patrick Moraz, who at one time replaced Keith Emerson in The Nice. I'm not trying to say that one is better than the was other, but simply different. The sound of Yes is not the same as it with Wakeman The basic sound has not changed. However, let me say that Yes is evolving. Steve Howe, one of the finest and most versatile guitarists around today, is still the mainstay of the group's music. Although the entire group is credited with writing the music on Relayer, I tend to think it was written by Jon Anderson (vocals) and Howe, as most previous works were. To best define Relayer, let me say that it is less classical than Yes' previous works and might relfect a "jazz-type" influence and the predominantly rock background of Patrick Moraz. Side one is, in a sense, a typical Yes excursion into the concerto style with its own movements. "The Gates of Delirium" runs 21 minutes and 55 seconds. It could turn out to be an updated version of "Close to the Edge." The song starts with an instrumental trade off between Howe on guitar and Moraz on keyboards. (For reference purposes, please forgive me if I don't differentiate between mellotron, synthesizer, organ, or whatever other instruments are employed by Moraz.) The song gradually builds to include all the members: first Chris Squire on bass, then Anderson playing acoustic guitar (for the first time as far as I know) and Alan White on drums and percussion. The vocal harmonies between Anderson (singing lead), Howe and Squire are very nice and in general start out more melodically than usual. Chris Squire's bass sets the pattern for the next part of the work, and it is gradually joined by the others until Steve Howe explodes with his pyrotechnics on the "ax" to be joined in harmony by Moraz. Following this, Alan White takes over with his drums, changing the tempo for Howe and Moraz. The theme behind "Gates" is as vague as most other works by Yes, and like the others, this too will mean different things to different people. "Gates" is about war, turmoil, and disorder in life, and the search for unification of being. . Wars that shout in screams of anguish ", power spent passion bespoiis our soul receiver surely we know . in glory we rise to offer create our freedom a word we utter a word It is also the tale of hope and resolution to the suffering ". . . soon oh soon the light pass within and so this endless night and wait here for you our reason to be here ..." Anderson's vocal abilities shine here, the piece again returns to the responsive playing between keyboards and guitar, and evolves to a somewhat typically classical Ves ending. Side two starts with a song that is different from anything Yes has done recently, called "Sound Chaser.” There is more percussion influence in this piece than anything since "Five Percent For Nothing on the Fragile album. Granted, they did play around with sounds that could be described as percussion on the Topographic Oceans album, but this piece was done specifically for percussion, similar to Bill Bruford's work (their former drummer). In the middle of Sound Chaser," there is a strange play with echo chambers and running voices through synthesizers that creates a completely unique experience when heard through a good set of headphones. Steve Howe s guitar work here is incredibly fast, faster and cleaner than I can remember anyone else playing (even Alvin Lee on "Going Home"). The album closes with a really fine, mellow number called To Be do not suffer Over." It is about two people in love, yet afraid: always doors to lock away plays/ that: through the game of chance your dreams/ think it over/ time will heal your fear/ think it over . . . "To Be Over" is a very melodic, peaceful work, something to sit back fellow and relax to. It is far more mellow than the frantic pace of its "Sound Chaser," and even the "Gates of Delirium. All in all, really liked Relayer, although it is somewhat different from the group's previous excursions into the world of sound. Each Yes album has differed from the rest, and each has to be taken on its own merits. The group is also deeply into Eastern religion, and this has bored some people while turning others off entirely. Yes is an ever-changing experience, and one can only listen to them and take —Steven Milligram from them just what they are giving. ..." 1285 Upcoming events at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Elmwood Ave., include: Saturday, February, 15: Nancy Miller lecturing on "Early Expressionists" and Charlotte B.

Leo Bates Use of color implies depth are an inherent part of life and the most seemingly evident situation often comes to reveal underlying complexities and contradictions. This aspect is mirrored in the exhibit Leo Bates: Drawings and Paintings at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery until March 2. At once simple and complex, flat and spatially deep, geometric and organic, these works offer a rich journey into the intricate properties and effects the Contrasts and paradoxes pictorial plane holds. a With the use of triangular modules, symmetrical whole at first asserts itself, but upon their interaction, with one module interlocking with another, new structures manifest themselves within the totality. Colors aid in producing these making one line interdependent networks by the eye registering the dominate another, of the paintings, a vacant edge surrounds the But even here the network is not completed at the edges making rectangular sides; instead, lines seeming to have been once part of a triangular unit jut out. It is as if this grid network was wrenched out from another larger grid complex and isolated from it. With either use of the edge the interplay and contradictions between part and whole are asserted. Bates transcends mere optical games in these works by the organic, living atmosphere that all structure. accentuated structure. Strokes of dark red over lavendar, lavendar over sienna brown, or peach over baby blue form interior three dimensional cubes. Dialogue in depth This creates a dialogue between the flat two dimensional grid structure that the triangular modules form and the three dimensional cubes receding into space, resulting irj a spatial tension between the flatness of the whole network and the depth of the inner structures. A similar spatial contradiction asserts itself in the interaction between the flatness of the individual triangles and the depth of the cube systems they form. Such an interplay between these two basic geometrical units produces alternations between part and whole creating a rich world of patterns and paradoxes. Unlike many artists, Bates does not ignore the expressive possibilities of the edges of a picture. In fact, the edges enrich the complex and ambiguous nature of the works. In many of his pastel drawings, the grid stucture appears to continue indefinitely beyond the picture plane, for he draws his modular structures right to the edge, whereas in others, and in permeates the geometrical structures. This is due to the choice of lyrical colors some harsh, others soft pastels and to the nuances of tone, weight and — - width that the drawing and painting techniques give to the lines. The lines are not perfectly straight nor is the strength of color constant, and it is this which gives it a very human and organic quality. One seems to be viewing the inner network of an organism that gives it order, unity and life. For in every structure there is a basic unit, much like Bates' triangle, from which the whole is built and dependent upon. It is this concept that gives a timeless meaning and quality to Bates' work and marks him as an important artist. Deceivingly simple, these drawings and paintings hold treasures and only those who stop and observe will discover and enjoy —Janice Simon the intricate complexities within. ...

Crouse Ave. University Hill BUFFALO Prodigal Sun �More hoop time To the Editor I would like to discuss a problem which has become a major one. On the Main Street and Amherst campuses, the recreational facilities are not always available to the student. On some occasions, I have called up the Clark Hall recreational office, to find out if the main or the small gyms are available for basketball. Sometimes, I’m told the gym is open, but this is not always the case. On several occasions, I have arrived at the gym to find it occupied by either the girl’s varsity basketball team, or filled by the men’s intramurals (basketball). 1 would like to suggest some additional hours for basketball in the afternoon or in the evening. Another problem is the lack of security past the main desk in Clark Hall. On some evenings the I.D.’s are checked, and on other nights there is no checking. 1 suggest that there should be ID. checking every night, once you arrive in the main or small basketball gyms. 1 hope my letter will shed some light on an important issue on both campuses.

Ostensibly, Mr. Engel tried to show how both can and should be accepted. His success in doing so is gig “Then how were you going to help John Q. Scumbag.” “That’s Douchebag.” “I’m sorry. All polish names sound alike to me,” “Old Johnny boy has got the means but not the ways.” “I don’t get your drift.” “It’s simple if you’ve got half a mind, meathead.

Mr. Engel why “What?” sure she’s not Catholic.” “Who do you think 1 am, Carlo Ponti?’ “Bebe Rebozo, maybe.” refers to “unreal . . . pretty girls cheers.” Obviously, I cannot argue with another’s sense of reality, but it appears that screaming inane the picture of such girls in Mr. Engel’s mind is, indeed, very real, as it probably is in others’, male and female, who use this and other stereotypes, objectifying frames of reference with which to judge people and assign labels to them. Mr. Engel’s particular model is used to justify the conclusion that these girls cheer “simply because they’re having fun.” Tell me, Mr. Engel, if you would subject yourself to, as you phrase it, “screaming inane cheers,” much less in a skirt which barely covers your navel? Do you think that cheerleaders themselves consider what they do inane? Funny how in the next sentence you* somehow relate cheerleading to “acting like a kid.” Of course, that would agree with the notion of girls because they’re having so much who cheer gosh darned fun. Mr. Engel fails to discuss a second, albeit less romantic, view of cheerleading as one which keeps the macho machinery well-oiled at both ends so as to extend the athlete-cheerleader relationship past the Finally, final buzzer. if cheerleading is so therapeutic, why reserve it solely for girls?

If I am truly free, why am 1 being forced to pay through the nose for a lot of activities and services I have neither the time nor the inclination to use? I am not saying that some of the organizations funded through the mandatory student fee do not perform useful services for the campus community. But 1 fiercely resent being forced, by any individual or organization, to do something I do not necessarily want to “for my own good.” I think I am capable of making my own decisions about my life, and I do not need the “help” of either The Spectrum or any part of the Student Association in making that decision. After all, it’s my money. I worked my ass off for it. And therefore, as far as I am concerned, it is up to me to decide where that money shall go. If you wish to call me selfish, or self-centered To the Editor please do so. I may very well be. But if you voted the mandatory student fee, I will call you greedy. for As you very well may be. 1 have watched as the SA and The Spectrum two organizations who obviously know which side their bread is buttered on have used any and all means at their disposal to get the mandatory student fee alive and kicking through the referendum. As it still is. So thank you, Student Association and The Spectrum. And congratulations. Your little extortion game goes on, and I will be kicked out of school should I ever again be deluded into believing I can make my own decisions. I'm sorry I didn’t fall for your line about doing your best for all of us, especially after experiencing first hand your Madison Avenue bulldozing techniques.

Carter Panill, Vice President for Health Sciences says he will not consider cutting nursing faculty until March or April when the new state budget officially becomes law. In his 1975—1976 budget request, Governor Carey recommended that the State University at Buffalo lay off eight faculty from the School of Nursing. If the state legislature approves the budget recommendation the School will not delete the eight positions by firing the nurses who were most recently hired, but will fire those who can most reasonably be eliminated. Dr. Panill explained. To comply with the budget, the School relies on attrition and would rather fire part-time nurses who have other means of support, such as positions in hospitals. Dr. Panill suggested that the cuts could affect incoming nursing students anyway. “It might have a definite impact on the size of the incoming class,” he said. Presently, the state budgets for about 56 faculty and 600 nursing students. Jeanette R. Spero, acting Dean of the School of Nrusing, said that while most of these are faculty lines, some are administrative positions for those unable to devote full time to teaching. — food prices, world food shortages, and the dangerous effects of the overly processed and refined American diet on out health.

In a letter signed by Frances Moore Lappe, author of Diet for a Small Planet, the organizers called on college and unviersity students to take part in Food Day activities and asked for a commitment to fight for an end to direct American involvement in the Vietnam War. A committee, sponsored by Rachel Carson College (RCC) and The New York Public Interest Research Group at Buffalo (NYPIRG), has been formed to coordinate activities in Buffalo and will hold an organizational meeting on Tuesday, February 18 at 7;30 p.m. in Norton 330.

Love always, SMS. . — World Food Day: April 17 How many times have you heard that diet contributes to half of all deaths in the United States, or that the American meat-based diet deprives the world of 18 million tons of cereal protein, an amount nearly equivalent to the world’s protein deficiency? To call attention to this fact, April 17, 1975 has been designated World Food Day. A number of cities in the United States are planning teach-ins and other special activities to focus attention on three areas: the world food crisis, problems of nutrition in America, and international food aid programs. Organized by the non-profit Center for Science in the Public Interest, World Food Day may be an indication that the American public is less willing to participate in the wasteful use of food resources by the Federal government, corporate America, and individuals. The center a sub-group of Ralph Nader’s Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) believes that the federal government, if allowed to pursue its past policies, will not develop a responsible food program.

Of course, now it’s back to work, and that ;’s cool. I gotta get this out of my system too. Actually the trip started Tuesday night, when my usually 'efficient grapevine was at its rumoring best. A call from a friend, who had heard from a friend, informed me that a meeting of the varsity athletes had resulted, among other things, in there getting together and asking for my resignation. Now I’ve been tempted to quit this fool job several times. Some insane pride or glory or something keeps bringing me back to this business to crank out yet another story, just as I’m doing now three hours past what was supposed to be the deadline. The news enraged me a little at first. What right have they to do thaf3 asked myself. Then it amused me, for I know why they did it. Basically, 1 don’t meet their need for PR, which is not my job anyway. Besides, that wouldn’t get them anywhere. But it’s a real trip to think someone felt I was Wednesday important enough, powerful enough to warrant this kind of attention. Only big people get asked to resign by special interest groups such as this one. (I didn’t know then that it had an official title, Students for the Future of Athletics, and as dynamic a leadership as honorable mention all-American wrestler Jim Young.) In a morbid sense, their stance was positive proof that I had made it. Unfortunately, it was also proof positive that they were way off base. 1 wish I was as important as they made me out to be. I wish 1 had all the power that they accuse me of wielding irresponsibly If 1 did, I’d probably use it to help them, which could best be accomplished by changing some Rock of Gibraltar attitudes in the athletic administration But anyway, I haven’t got that kind of influence. I never did, I never will and I suppose it’s just as well. All day Wednesday I tripped, anticipating the were going to make they at that Assembly meeting (as I said my grapevine is pretty efficient). 1 was just the least bit surprised when they didn’t do it. I was a little more surprised when I realized that what they were doing made sense. It was the best action they have ever taken or could ever take. Jim Young, proud and defiant, stood before the afternoon’s Student Assembly and declared, “We will no longer stand around and watch you people cut our program. We want the program the way it was.” I wasn’t going to tell him that it never was all that great. Young complained of no publicity, no awards, no banquet, no contingency budget, poor facilities, etc. “We want it all back and we’re going to work hard to get it,” Jim added with the kind of conviction one rarely finds in graduating seniors. This was really something. These guys had organized. They had a name and leadership. They had a platform with both principles and objectives. They were doing it non-violently, within the system, without shouting people down or insulting or scaring them as BSU did a year ago, (“We’re not like that,” Jim said.) It was good, it was exciting, it was the right way, and it was about time. Yes, it was about time that they stood up for what they felt were their rights as students. Coming to Assembly meetings will conflict with team practice in many cases, as Young pointed out. No one enjoys taking three hours out of their day to go to these meetings. But that’s how the system works. It was refreshing to see them use it rather than complain about it, something their coaches and administrators are famous for. In a way, it’s too bad the athletes feel I’m hurting the program, when all 1 ever wanted to criticize was the bureaucratic stubbornness that continues to threaten it A major complaint of the athletes is that I wasn't helping them, I wasn't defending their interests Why should I defend them when they wouldn't defend themselves? But Wednesday’s meeting might have been the dawn of a new day on that score. Bulls lose another game at the buzzer com posure by Paige Miller The Spectrum Slafl Writer Basketball Bulls don-t really like losing close games, but that doesn’t stop them. They lose them anyway. Perhaps it's habit-forming. Wednesday night a last second Armstrong State basket beat them 78-76. Buffalo’s Otis Horne broke away from Armstrong’s full-court '■ess with a pass from Gary Domzalski and scored on a lay-up to tie the game with 16 seconds left. After the Pirate’s threw away Buffalo pass, their inbound responded with a turnover of their own. Jeff Baker charged into Ike seconds Williams with six remaining. Then Sam Berry continued Richardson "We never had a 15 or 20 point lead before. We don’t know how to put people away." The Bulls' Inexperience has cost them dearly, causing them to blow big leads or make the wrong play in a close game. In thier last five games, they have lost three in lost to overtime, they and Armstongat the buzzer. ed the Thf- Couldn't buy one “We couldn’t buy a point,” said Bulls coach Leo Richardson. “What are you going to do?” Jones missed five lay-ups and tip-ins in the second half, as Buffalo made only 10 of 44 shots. held our “1 thought we For the fourth year in a row, Buffalo’s wrestling has received national ranking, this time from a brand new publication. National Mat News. The team Bulls were selected 16th nationally and fifth in the East. On the individual side, Buffalo heavyweight Charlie Wright was ranked fifth among the nation’s heavies, even though he is really a 190 pounder and should return to that weight for tomorrow’s tough match at Cleveland State. The Bulls’ undefeated (17-0) 134 pounder, Jim Young, received honorable mention. Poor turnout mars weight lift tourney by Dan Greenbaum Staff Writer Spectrum Buffalo’s intramural department held its first weightlifting tournament this week. The organizers of the tourney couldn’t have been more disappointed with the first day’s turnout. Competition started Monday evening and only 15 people had signed up by the time the muscles were scheduled to start popping. The tournament is coed, but much to the dismay of Gary Montour, assistant director of intramurals, no women had signed up at all. There are four weight classes and three different categories in which the contestants compete; leg presses, bench presses, and the standard military press. Each lifter gets a certain amount of points for his efforts. The competitor subtracts his or her weight from his best lift in each category arriving at a point total for that event. The three events are added together for a final total. The tournament is being held in response to numerous requests from people who lift weights regularly and feel that even for weightlifting, a little motivation is needed. But where are they? “Publicity is the problem,” responded Montour. However, he expects a large turnout at tomorrow’s final round. Montour’s concern is also geared toward the future of intramural weightlifting competition. If the turnout is strong, different types of weightlifting competitions may be instituted. Many local schools have started club or team competition, one of Montour’s objectives. Teams could compete on either an intercollegiate or intramural level. However, if the turnout remains small, the whole idea may have to be scrapped Safety is one thing that the staff is not too concerned about and they needn’t be. The “universal gym” is devised especially with safety in mind and two judges, Scott Berger and Mike Siegel, are spotting the lifters at all limes. Of course the spotters can’t do anything for a person who lifts more than he’s ready for, although there is a mandatory warmup period prior to the first lifts. But they request all competitors to "know thyself.” The competition is still open, particularly in the women’s division. (Don't be bashful women.) For further information, see Gary Montour or Bill Monkarsh in the intramural office. • Our women hoopsters fall prey to Canisius lead back and forth during the first half, but Buffalo lost the game in the second half with a poor shooting percentage and repeated turnovers in the last four by Joy Clark Spectrum Staff Writer took charge. The Pirate forward, high scorer with 33, took the inbounds pass, dribbled into the right corner, and threw up a 2Q footer at the buzzer. Despite the fact that Mike Jones was right on top of Berry, the ball swished through the net, leaving the Bulls holding the bag. Berry’s heroics resembled the Bulls’ loss Saturday night, when Youngstown’s Steve Postel hit a 35 footer at the end of regulation time to send that contest into overtime. Buffalo opened up a 16 point lead in the first half, thanks to some excellent shooting (54 floor). from the percent Armstrong fought back to a tie as the Bulls went five minutes without scoring. Wrestlers ranked Otis Horne of an old rivalry for Richardson and Pirates coach Bill Alexander. Before coming to Buffalo, Richardson was the head coach at State in Georgia. Savannah Armstrong was his crosstown rival. “They didn’t beat me in three years,” claimed the Bulls coach. “We want to win, of course, but not necessarily because of them.” The women’s basketball team, still without the services of 6’1” center Ann Trapper, dropped a 45-41 decision to Canisius College Monday night at Clark Hall. Coach Carolyn Thomas altered her strategy for the small Canisius team, using a full-court press and concentrating on taking inside shots. The strategy back-fired as Buffalo made only 23 percent of its shots for the night. “We haven’t played against a man-to-man defense yet,” commented high scoring guard Chris Barone, “and by the time we finally adjusted to it, it was too late.” continued her Barone frustrating quest for Athlete of the Week (she has been runnerup twice), by scoring 11 points. Buffalo’s rebounding was strong on both ends of the court as Pat Ann Dolan and newcomer down 11 Maloney pulled rebounds apiece. Buffalo and Canisius passed the minutes. “We played well and lost as opposed to playing poorly and losing, which is what we did last week against Erie Community College,” Thomas said.

Page seventeen . \n£cnd9*i w . muijoeqc eai . n99j;ns t �Entrance standards equalize Abortion... —continued from Three years ago, President Robert Ketter instituted a quota policy mandating that the State University at Buffalo accept 50 percent of its undergraduates from the eighth judicial district, which includes the eight counties of Western New York (WNY). All other applicants, including foreigners and those from across the United States, would comprise the other 50 percent. When the plan was adopted, standards for evaluating WNY applicants were markedly lower than for outside students, explained Richard Drumek, Director of Admissions and Records. During the past two years, however, differences in admissions standards have virtually disappeared. The high school rankings of accepted WNY students are now comparable with the rest of the student body. Myron Thompson, associate director of Admissions and Records, said the difference in admissions standards, while favoring local residents, had always been small. Dr. Thompson said the University adopted the 50-50 policy to conform with guidelines in its 1973 Master Plan, which states that the benefits of the University should be extended to as many Western New Yorkers as possible. Mr. Drumek indicated that while current enrollment is in the 50/50 ratio, the number of local students attending this University this fall was slightly larger than the number from downstate and other parts of New York. Unlike freshmen applicants, transfer students are not accepted according to a 50/50 ratio. Over the last three years, students who had previously attended private and community colleges have begun to recognize this University as a large educational center with diverse opportunities, Mr. Drumek asserted. Since many of the top students in Western New York are now attracted to the University special admission standards are no longer necessary although the 50/50 policy remains in effect. The enrollment policy for the next fall semester STATE UNI oim OFFICE ADMISSIONS OF will judge students on three basic points: grade average, class rank and the standardized admissions tests (Regents Scholarship exam or the SAT’s). The lowest grade of the three will be dropped and each applicant ranked. Ranking standards are the same lor all students regardless of locale. The Faculty-Senate Committee on Admissions decides the admission policy each year for the following fall semester. a new title: instead of the injection has been under study at Children’s and Deaconess Hospitals and is still awaiting approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Jean Hutchinson, Director of the Planned Parenthood Federation of Buffalo, revealed that out of 5,000 patients counselled for pregnancy by the Federation in 1973, 73 percent chose abortion. The demand for pregnancy counselling has continued to increase since 1973. Ms. Hutchinson explained that some women have difficulty financing their abortions. “If you’re over 21 and qualify for Medicaid, there’s no hassle. If you’re an emancipated minor under 21, there are a number of possibilities. If you’re a minor, your parents should be able to qualify for Medicaid. Otherwise, a minor has a problem,” she said. Welfare helps the very poor, so the problem is most critical among the near poor, Ms. Hutchinson pointed out. She said financing an abortion is “never impossible,” because doctors often help abosrb the payment, and many agencies in Buffalo are also willing to help. The Righl-To-Life organization in Buffalo, a voluntary private agency concerned with the protection of human life, is concerned about the lack of funds. Spokeswoman Helen Green complained that while abortions are covered under the surgical and hospitalization parts of medical insurance plans, a young, single women who wants to carry her or term pregnancy to completion, can’t get any coverage tor her hospitalization, delivery, or any part of the process. anewcareerforthe COLLEGE GRADUATE Spring Program February 17th—May 16, 1975 Fall Summer Program June 9th—August 29, Adelphi 1975 Program September 29th—December 19, 1975 UNIVERSITY hi cooperotiee with the Notional Center for Paralegal Training qualifies you to assume responsibilities A representative from Adelphi University Lawwith a law firm, corporation or legal yer's Assistant Program will be on campus on agency as a skilled member of the from 10:00 A.M.—4:00 P.M.

(516) 294-8700 ext. 7604. 14 February 1975 ‘Viable’ child Another issue that concerns Right-To-Life is “Aid to the Live Aborted Child,” a bill passed last spring in New York State which defines a “viable” child as one capable of living independently of its mother. In a hysterectomy, or caesarian abortion, the fetus is aborted live. The Right-To-Life organization is fighting to upgrade care of these fetuses in hospital nurseries, from which they are offered for adoption. The organization is also involved nationally with supporting Senator James Buckley’s re-introduction of the so-called “Right To Life Amendment” he introduced first in May 1973 and hearing took place last year. This month, Mr. Buckley is — Hear 0 Israel — For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 page I — sponsoring it again in the Senate, before a new Congress, and it is simultaneously being introduced in the House of Representatives by Congressmen Quie and Oberstar (Minn., Minn.) It defines the right to life as applying to all human beings, “including their unborn offspring” and makes an exception to its stand against abortion “in an emergency when a reasonable medical certainty exists that continuation of the pregnancy will cause death to the mother.” i Social convenience Senator Buckley express his feelings on abortion in this excerpt from Senate subcommittee testimony of March 6, 1974: “The issue before the Senate and the nation is whether this country is going to tolerate the continuation of killing for the sake of social convenience, or whether it is going to restore legal protection to all human beings, borun or unborn whose lives have been endangered by those unfortunate (Supreme Court) decisions. Every life has intrinsic value and should be given due consideration it’s not a question of woman’s right to privacy alone because two people are involved.” There have been eleven days of hearings on the amendment so far, with about 64 witnesses arguing both sides of the issue. The Right-To-Life organization has offered a reworded version of Mr. Buckley’s amendment, in which their emergency exception is optional and left up to the states’ discretion. It also says that, “no unborn person shall be deprived of life by any other person.” A third amendment under consideration leaves the whole issue up to each state to decide. — Legal implications Subsequent hearings may include other legal implications of the Buckley amendment, including the definition of meaningful life and the issue of euthanasia. A social worker at Our Lady of Victory Infant Home, one of the three maternity homes in Buffalo, observed that less women are using maternity homes. Another maternity home in Buffalo, run by the Salvation Army-Booth Memorial has limited itself to counselling in recent years because of the decrease. It is a trend the social worker attributed to an increase in abortions and contraception, and an increase in single women choosing to keep their children. Additionally, the . policy of doctors in Buffalo is generally to perform abortions «after twenty weeks, even though the law allows up to 24 weeks. Doctors reason that it is difficult to pinpoint the exact length of pregnancy. �CLASSIFIED FOLK AD INFORMATION ADS may be placed in The Spectrum office weekdays 9 a.m.—5 p.m. The deadlines are Monday, Wednesday and p.m. (Deadline for 5 Friday Wednesday’s paper is Monday, etc.) (188 cm) with “HEAD HRP” skis “look grand Prix” bindings.

Despite a decision last year by the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) which many thought would open the door to student participation in tenure review, the UUP insists that review of tenure, promotion and hiring remains the exclusive right of the faculty. The PERB decision, which involved the City University of New York, stated that the composition of faculty review committees was a matter of University governance and therefore not an issue that must be negotiated with the faculty as a conditjon of employment. Since the UUP has traditionally been opposed to student participation in faculty reviews, many felt the PERB decision would make it possible to lay the groundwork for attaining membership on review committees. Also at issue is the legality of this University’s Presidential Review Board on Tenure, which has two non-voting student Constantine Yeracaris level of review. Individual faculty members should not have to go through more than two levels of review, union spokesmen claim. The President’s Review board is a non-contracted body and could incite the union to file an employer labor practice charge, one UUP representative added. University professor Constantine Yercaris, who heads the local chapter of the UUP, conceded that governance issues are not in the contract, but maintained that “tenure review has nothing to do with governance. The current UUP contract is very clear and explicit in limiting faculty review to academic employees,” he stressed. Student participation. Dr. Yeracaris added, would be a “clear violation of Article 33 of the contract.” He also said that as a faculty member, he opposes, in principle, a studnt voice in tenure opot Wednesday, Buffalo UCtliCii It)' 12 February 1975 uuu. S00 Spot run. Run Spot, run. decisions. “A student has no business in voting for tenure. I’m afraid that it is an unfortunate attempt to try and rationalize a grab for power." Dr. Yeracaris said. Another UUP spokesperson also claimed that the clause calling for academic employees to participate in tenure, promotion and reappointment was designed expressly to eliminate .the possibility of students being on the committees. Ceaser Naples, SUNY assistant chancellor for Employee Relations, disagrees with the UUP. He said that the phrase in article 33 was intended solely to establish two levels of review faculty and provost without determining who could or could not participate in the review. Dr. Naples pointed out that student participation was never raised during contract negotiations, but the UUP is claiming it is a matter of contract. “Our position is that tenure review should be a local by-law matter negotiated separately at each university. Yercaris interprets the contract as having already excluded students.” Mr. Naples added that the State University administration has always tried to encourage student involvement in governance and that he is confident the matter will be worked out. “There are frequent questions on interpretation of the contract and what usually happens is people from SUNY and the union sit down and reach an agreement.” Andy Hugos, Media Director of the Student Association of the State University SASU, views the members. The UUP emphasizes matter as a “labor-management that the contract stipulates only dispute,” with the University two levels or review, departmental simply saying the contract does and provost. not exclude students from the Membership at these two stages committees and the UUP saying is- restricted by the contract to they are excluded.

Functional illiteracy the inability to communicate clearly and competently, has become a leading problem of American education, a problem that cuts across race, class and level of schooling. College students are as guilty of functional illiteracy as anyone. The University of California at Berkeley, a highly selective school, found it necessary to institute a course in remedial English for a large percentage of its entering classes. The course, popularly known as “Bone-head English,” drills students in the basics of writing coherent English sentences and organized essays. At the recent conference on undergraduate education held at this University, all four featured speakers considered the inability of students to read serious books and write and speak decent English, the most serious singular problem in higher education. students, Dumbbells But the problem of illiterate students is not confined to this University and Berkeley. At Bowdoin College in Maine, applicants for admission now require an essay. The college’s faculty and administration said the most inept writers were most often athletes, poor people from inferior high schools and middle-class students from “progressive” schools. According to Collegiate Press Service reports several studies have been or soon will be released, showing how widespread the literacy problem is. In one study, 36 percent of those given an income tax form and information about dependents were unable to read, write, or compute well enough which to list the correct number of exemptions could cost hundreds of dollars in excess tax payments. Another study showed that a sample of adults with an average educational level of 10.5 years — - exhibited fifth grade levels in reading and compulation lllaterutz Still another study found a widespread concern among department chairpersons that “students are coming from high school with a far less firm grasp on fundamentals than before middle-class as well as disadvantaged students.” The College Entrance Examination Board, reacting to the declining ability of students to use their native language, recently included a “Test of Standard Written English” as a regular’part of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). The University of Oregon has required students with Verbal SAT’s below 370 to take a remedial writing course. The percentage of freshmen required to take the course has increased from 11 percent in 1970 to 15 percent in 1974. The number of freshmen exempt from the composition requirement (those with SAT’s above 650) declined from eight percent in 1970 to four percent in 1974. — Textbucks downgreated But the problem of poor writers and poor readers extends beyond the campus. McGraw-Hill, a major textbook publisher, now asks authors of college textbooks to write them at the eighth or ninth grade reading level. Other publishers are likely to follow suit. The Association of American Publishers’ guide to textbook usage was recently downgraded from the 12th grade to ninth grade level. For those without college education, the problems are even worse. U.S. Commissioner of Education Terrel Bell said only 56 percent of American adults could understand newspaper help wanted ads well enough to match their personal qualifications with the requirements listed in the ads. Mr. Bell also said about 38 million Americans could not locate the Social Security deduction on a monthly earnings statement. �Questions over validity of eyewitness testimony experiments proving by Jonathan Rider Spectrum Staff An armed robbery is taking place. Two men with guns run out of a liquor store in broad daylight into a waiting car. None of the people standing at the bus stop in front of the liquor store are later able to identify either the men or their car, except a nine-year-old boy who has the presence of mind to memorize the car’s license plate. Without his help, it is doubtful the police would have been able to apprehend the criminals. Why was it that only a nine-year-old boy among.a group of adults could grasp the situation and act accordingly? According to Capt. Brown of the Amherst, New York police department, age is an important factor. In this case, the boy may have been too young to realize the danger present and was under less stress than were the adult witnesses. Questionable that eyewitness testimony is at best questionable, and at worst completely misleading. Writer testimony Factors affecting eyewitness testimony, and the validity of eyewitness testimony in general, are the subjects of a recent study by Robert Buckhout of Brooklyn College. A story in the December issue of Scientific American deals with several recent , “Human perception is sloppy and albeit remarkably effective in serving our need to create structure out of experience,” explains Dr. Buckhout. “In an investigation or in court, however, a witness is often asked to play the role of a tape recorder, on whose tape the events of the crime have left an impression.” As Ulrich Neisser of Cornell University has pointed out, “Neither perception nor memory is a copying process.” Perception and memory are decision-making processes affected by the torality of a person’s ability, background, attitudes, motives and beliefs, the environment and the way his recollection is eventually tested. uneven, Interference Some of the more frequent sources of unreliability outlined in the study included insignificance of the events to the witness at the time; the length of the period of observation; and less than ideal observation conditions. Often distance, poor lighting, fast movement, or the presence of a crowd interferes with the efficient working of the attention process.

Allport of Harvard University, several people were given a brief look at a picture of a number of passengers on a subway train, including a black man and a white man standing with a razor in his hand. Fifty percent of the observers later reported that the razor was in the hand of the black man. Many witnesses enjoy the importance or the “notoriety” of being the witness, indicated Capt. Brown.

Taking all these factors into account, it becomes apparent that eyewitness testimony should be given the same careful scrutiny as other evidence in a trial. In conclusion, Dr. Buckhout said, “It is up to a jury to determine if the doubts about a witness’s testimony are reasonable enough for the testimony to be rejected as untrue. Jurors should be reminded that there can be doubt about eyewitness testimony, just as there is doubt about any other kind of evidence.” N Y. 11229 U S Cities %A �Research Council to distribute grant funds Within the next few days, the Undergraduate Research Council will finish giving away $6,000. The Council, which Director Bill Atchley feels has “gone downhill” in the past few years, was created to encourage and fund research projects by undergraduates. “This past year has been one of restructuring and revitalizing the Council, getting it to move again,” Mr. Atchley explained. He feels that he has accomplished this, and now worries that no one will taJce over the job and keep the Council moving. Any undergraduate can go to the Council with a proposal for a research grant. The student is required to have a 2.5 average or better, be regestered for independent study, and have a faculty advisor. New projects In the past, 60-70 percent of the Council’s funds have gone to Chemistry and Biology projects, said Mr. Atchley, but the Council gives priority to areas that have not been funded. Proposals for “creative” work in the liberal arts are especially welcomed. One such current project involves a member of the French Department who is starting a French Club in a South Buffalo elementary school. The Council receives most of its funds from the Univeristy, ($5,000 of this year’s $6,000 budget), but this funding is dependent on support from the Student Association (SA). “If we don’t get adequate support from SA, we could lose the institutional funding,” Mr. Atchley explained. He is investigating the possibility of obtaining money from other sources, such as the National Science Foundation. Accomplishments This year, the Council reformed guidelines for research grants, found a faculty advisor, and started a file of information on research grants for undergraduates and first-year graduate students. Students who approach the Council for funding get valuable experience in “grantsmanship,” the art of writing funding proposals, which is crucial to those who intend to do research in later life, Mr. Atchley said. Still, giving away money creates some problems. Mr. Atchley noted that nearly all current members of the Council are seniors. He urged all interested underclassmen to join now to provide “continuity" for the organization. University help for lawmakers proposed A program that would provide “advice and consultation to legislators and their staffs” by members of the University faculty and professional staff was outlined recently in a letter from President Robert Ketter to area lawmakers. “There is a wide range of societal problems of mutual concern on which our faculty and staff could provide information and expert opinion,” Dr. Ketter observed. In coordinating the program, legislators listed areas in which they felt they may profit from consulting members of the University, and faculty members indicated areas in which they have particular expertise and would be willing to advise. The program would be largely informal, Dr. Ketter said, allowing lawmakers on short notice to supplement information they may have received through formal channels by consulting University personnel. Full scale studies and formal reports may be needed The Spectrum is published Mon- day, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer by The Spectrum Student Periodical Inc.

Brief efforts will be considered an unpaid public service. Dr. Ketter explained. However, extensive studies will be arranged through administrative channels. Explaining the usefulness of such a program, Dr. Ketter said, “Through such a mechanism, we would hope to bring together those who are willing to make their expert knowledge directly available with those who hold responsibility for the framing of legislation and indicate the desire to obtain such assistance and advice.” He emphasized that the program will not advise lawmakers on any legislation which might affect the SUNY system.

The Bubble has been up since January 14. The latest postponement of the temporary structure (the Bubble was originally scheduled for completion last fall) was caused by a delay in the drying of a sealing layer of asphalt, which was ordered to make the surface safer to play on. Mr. Moore termed the effort a “beautiful job” and was pleased that the sealer covered 18,000 of the total 31,000 square feel1 inside the dome. In The Recreation Department has drawn up a list of regulations for the operation of the structure. No one without a Student ID or faculty recreation card will be able to use the facility. “It won’t be like Clark, where anyone can sneak in,” said recreation supervisor Gary Montour. “There will be only one entrance and we’re going to check people carefully.” The Recreation Department has already warned against trying to bring in outsiders to a student-funded facility. Students will probably have to come dressed and ready to play, at least for a while. Two trailers will eventually be attached to the Bubble as locker and shower room facilities, but the building will open without them. People have been advised not to bring valuables. Although the department claims that the structure is sturdy, its approval will be required for any activity not specified for the Bubble. No boots will be allowed on the playing surface. N YPIRG awaits ruling on legality of medical inquiry The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) of Buffalo is awaiting a ruling from the Stale Department of Education on whether doctors who cooperate with its survey of local medical care are violating medical ethics and a state law which prohibits doctors from advertising. A newsletter from the Medical Society of the State of New York (MSSNY) had advised doctors that they were under no legal obligation to answer consumer group survey questions and warned that compliance with surveys may be illegal. As a result, only IX percent of the doctors surveyed have cooperated, according to project co-directors Stan Berke and Jill Siegel. The majority have refused to cooperate largely because of the legal uncertainties involved, Ms. Siegel indicated. Complete listing The soon-to-be-released survey, entitled Guide to Gynecologists and Obstetricians in the Buffalo Area , will include a complete listing of doctors practicing in the area, along with information on fees, practices, availability and other facts. The directory has been designed to provide people in the community with information on doctors and to change the nature of doctor/patient relationships, according to Mr. Berke. It will attempt to offer patients the “same kind of information when choosing a doctor as is now available to the consumer when buying a toaster,” to offer patients a better understanding of health in general, and to “strip the veil of secrecy” which many feel has protected doctors from public scrutiny.” No response Nancy Kraemer, senior staff attorney for P1RG, does not think MSSNY has a legal leg to stand on. Still, the problem of convincing the Buffalo doctors —Lester Stan Berke cooperate remains unsolved. “It was understandable that the doctors didn’t respond,” Ms. Kraemer noted to If the State Education Department rules in favor of PIRG, MSSNY will be asked to retract their earlier statements and notify doctors of the ruling. If the Commissioner rules that listing doctors in the directory does violate state law, then PIRG “would consider suing,” Ms. Kraemer said. Richard Trecasse, executive director of the Erie County Medical Society, could not be reached for comment. Wednesday, 12 Febraury 1975 . The Spectrum . Page three �10,000 protes UAW members march on capitol,demand jobs by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor Nearly 10,000 members of the United. Automobile Workers (UAW) marched on Washington last week to demand that the Ford Administration and Congress provide jobs for the unemployed. “If people in power don’t understand the plight of the unemployed,” said Douglas Fraser, head of UAW’s Chrysler Department, “we’re going to come back again and again and again.” Nearly 300,000 UAW members are out of work. Numerous speakers drew loud cheers as they attacked tax loopholes for corporations and the Ford Administration’s proposal to escalate military aid to Vietnam. “We can’t wait until June or July or August for answers," Mr. Fraser declared. “We need them now.” Several labor organizations have been meeting to develop plans for combatting what they consider the severest economic recession since the depression. The AFL-CIO held an emergency general board meeting last month in Washington and officials from several unions, including the textile, electrical, and tobacco workers have said that many of their members are advocating organized demonstration. unemployed public employees back to work. Economists have indicated that drastic reductions in military aid to the to the Thieu regime in South Vietnam could provide union-level wages to thousands of unemployed American workers for years. With already meager wages about to run out for many of the unemployed, “the fear is for the future,” said Joseph Reilly, President of Local 906 of the Ford Mahwah plant in New Jersey.

Group attempts to deal with negligence, abuse in prisons by Brett Kline Spectrum Woman inmate kills guard to stop rape A twenty-year-old black woman has been charged with first-degree murder in the icepick slaying of a prison guard in Beauford County, North Carolina. Conviction of Joanne Little would carry the mandatory death penalty. Ms. Little’s care is unusual, according to one Beauford County law enforcement officer, because of “the peculiarities in the way he [the prison guard] was dressed.” The body of the guard, 62-year-old Clarence Alligood, was found naked from the waist down, slumped near the foot of Ms. Little’s prison cot. He had been stabbed 11 times with an icepick that other inmates testified he kept in his own desk. Beneath him was a woman’s kerchief, and the county medical examiner reported “clear evidence of recent sexual activity” by the guard including a nightgown on the cell floor and a bedjacket hanging on the door. Former State Senator Julian Bond, president of the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Alabama, is currently seeking funds to aid in Ms. Little’s defense. He described the case as “one of the most shocking, outrageous examples of injustice against women on record." Ms. Little claims she struck the guard in self defense. heart. Women who have stayed in the jail have charged that Mr. Alligood and other white guards made sexual advances to them also, Mr. Bond said. “In a blur of fear and confusion, Ms. Little fled from the jail,” Mr. Bond asserted. She then hid for several days, fearing the police would kill her, and turned herself over to authorities just as efforts were being made to declare her a legal outlaw. In North Carolina, a legal outlaw may be shot on sight by anyone without benefit of a trial. The trial is suspended pending action by a higher court on Ms. Little’s appeal of a Beautord County Court judge’s decision denying a change of trial location. Additionally, Ms. Little’s defense attorney requested $20,000 to hire an investigator to look into allegations that other inmates have been subjected to sexual abuse, and a criminologist to reconstruct the stabbing incident. Racist jury Mr. Bond is convinced Ms. Little is telling the truth, and that she could never receive a fair trial in Beauford County. “The jury will be selected from people living in the neighboring a statutory counties is being which requirement as unconstitutional. challenged Pitifully, few black people are called to serve on juries in these counties.

(See accompanying article.) The Women’s Prison Project (WPP) has been particularly active in attempting to deal with prison problems in the Buffalo area. With four other groups, WPP has filed a class action suit against the Erie County Holding Center, charging negligence in prison conditions and mistreatment of inmates. The list of complaints is long and covers almost every aspect of prison life. Unlivable conditions Visiting hours are inadequate and degrading, and visual contact is reduced to a window approximately 4x6 inches, with a wall between inmate and visitor, the WPP claims. All general mail into and out of the Holding Center is read and censored, and there are no libraries. a doctor is present Medical care is inadequate week hours and the WPP feels the per for only 10 for women is worse. There are no situation Women are not services available. gynecological such the use necessities, even minimal as permitted of tampons, presumably because of “security” considerations. Inmates are not permitted outdoors and women are denied any recreation. Many inmates, particularly those between the ages of 16 and 20, have been subjected to unnecessary and brutal beatings by employees at the Holding Center, the class action suit alleged. Women inmates have also been subjected to physical mistreatment by male guards, WPP claims. - - Abuse Refuting the charges of the WPP and other organizations. Thomas E. Whelan, Superintendant of the Erie County Holding Center, said there have been no instances of sexual or physical abuse of inmates by guards. Mr. Whelan asserted that in cases of extreme violence, inmates are held down and given medication to subdue them. The jail, he went on, employs a full time staff, including three psychiatrists, to treat mentally disturbed patients. The WPP comes to the center two times a week and their success has been fantastic among women inmates, Mr. Whelan stressed. They set up arts and crafts projects lifting the moral by helping women do constructive work with their hands. Mr. Whelan said there was no library in the Holding Center because of space limitations. However, he explained that book carts are wheeled up and down the rows once or twice a week. This facility is used by a great many inmates, Mr. Whelan said, noting that in.the past year, there have been over 10,000book withdrawals, with equal time given for men and women. Segregation by sex Men and women also attend church services at the same time, separated by partitions. Most recreation in the Holding Center is separate for men and women, however, because of the nature of the activities “women have as much or more recreation time than men,” Mr. Whelan asserted. The WPP has also been concerned with injustices to women at the Erie County Pentitentiary. One complaint has been leveled at a New York State Code of Rules and Regulations statute which specifies that “the matron shall retain the key for the detention area for females and no male person shall be admitted to enter an area where female prisoners are detained . . .” This statute has been interpreted to mean tha women may not participate in any activities with men. Therefore, in the Erie County Pentitentiary, women are not allowed to use the library, explained Laura Zeisel of the WPP. Instead, a book list is passed around to the women inmates. Ms. Zeisel believes that at least one hour a week should be alloted to the women for use of the library, which is the only air-conditioned building in the jail. No sexual abuse Ms. Zeisel also cited evidence of phsyical abuse of female inmates in the Erie County Holding Center in Buffalo. But she made a sharp distinction between physical and sexual abuse, stressing that no sexual abuse had ever been witnessed or reported. When women inmates scream or behave disruptively, Ms. Zeisel continued, matrons threaten to call the male guards to beat up the inmates. There are also many psychiatric cases in the jail. When someone reaches the point of becoming dangerous to other inmates, she is put in an isolation cell, called “the hole” by inmates. However, the cell is not soundproof and if the disturbances continue, the guards sometimes come and physically shake the woman, even to the point of leaving black and blue marks on her body. Defense fund A non-profit organization. The Joanne Little Defense Fund, Inc., has been formed to raise money in Ms. Little’s defense. Contributions may be sent to P.O.

A Native American, faced with eviction or unemployment, often does not know where to go. The Native American Social Service (NASS) storefront is solely for Native Americans, often serving as a referral agency. But more importantly, it provides advice and comfort to Indians who do not know where else to turn The organization provides clothing, food and money for people in immediate need. It is also a place where people can drop in, have a cup of coffee, and speak to other Native Americans. The nucleus of the group consists of seven volunteers, who handle the finances and organize the group’s affairs collectively. “The whole idea is one frame of mind. Unanimous in all thinking, there is a spirit here. All Indians are welcome, there is no governing body,” said treasurer Marilyn John. She emphasized that her position of treasurer was established not as a position of leadership, but just “to keep the accounts straight.” The group has no President. Independently funded The storefront raises money through monthly bake sales, raffles and calendar sales, as well as from donations. It receives no subsidies from outside agencies. Some members donate their own food and clothing to those in need in the community. The building was donated by the Rev. Grote, pastor of the Indian Church. NASS pays the utilities. The Trinity Church donated S3000 last summer to rent plots of land for participating to cultivate. This particular project suffered from a lack of interest, however. This year, the group is hoping that the church will again fund the venture, although one spokesperson was pessimistic about whether enough money could be found. Tomatoes, corn, potatoes, peppers, cucumbers, squash and turnips would be raised and would be used and distributed by the group. One of PTICC’s problems was that it would close during the summer, leaving no place for the Indians to go. Eventually, it closed altogether and the Buffalo North American Indian Culture Center was founded. Incorporated and receiving federal aid, the center focuses on the cultural aspect of the Indian heritage. Although NASS and the culture center are not affiliated with each other, there is much interaction between them. Many people are referred to the organization through friends the group has helped. One woman recently left homeless by a fire, described how she discovered NASS. “One day my son was sick and a worker from the [West Side Health] Clinic came to my house and sent me to the clinic. When my house burnt down, she sent me here.” The worker explained that “a few people carry on dual roles, working at the clinic and volunteering for NASS.” In cases like this, the group members will contribute their own money to pay for rent, or provide their own homes as temporary residences. Support picks up When one couple needed help with an anemic baby, NASS collected baby food and Similac, and then provided food for the rest of the family. NASS did not receive overwhelming support from the community at first. Now, though, when asked about the group’s progress with the community, a volunteer replied, “We're still here. I wasn’t sure at first, but we’re still here.” Other services that the group provides are arts and crafts classes for children, and annual dinners and outings for the older people of the community. The arts and crafts class was previously taught by a State University at Buffalo student, Gwen Shlansky, who graduated in January, and the Service is now looking for another volunteer. NASS also acted as a go-between for the Welfare Department and potential foster homes two years ago, but this effort proved successful. Meetings were held at the storefront, including representatives of the Welfare Department and the foster homes, and a judge from family court. SKIRTS plain SWEATERS 69c ea . Lowest prices in town!

Each kid had to have a certain amount of cubic inches,” she said. “We couldn’t understand that. All these kids needed was a good home The Service seeks only those volunteers willing to make a firm commitment. The storefront is open on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. until 4 Goodyear-Main Campus p.m. NASS started as a social service in June 1971, as part of the Pine Tree Indian Culture Center (PTICC). “There was a need, we saw it, and we fulfilled it,” a volunteer explained. PANTS-plain ” Fanatics Parachute enthusiasts defy gravity, gaining popularity by Dan Greenbaum Spectrum Staff Writer The university’s new skydiving club now accommodates a few dozen fanatics whose idea of fun is falling to the ground at more than 100 miles an hour. These parachute enthusiasts ignore the fact that the plane they are jumping out of looks like a wind-up toy, and that their fate is wrapped up in a large piece of cloth. But it’s not just the suicidal types that are getting into this unique sport. The skydiving club’s NX ' A s ■ .w //> //; //</ this time, including 28 rookies. One of them, Brian Siegel, had never even been in a plane before. “It didn’t feel like you were zipping through the air,” said Siegel, whose first takeoff was conventional, though his first landing was sans aircraft. “You were just there with nothing else around,” he added. Before someone is allowed to start jumping, he or she must go through an extensive three hour training program covering exit procedure, landing, what to do in case of chute malfunction (after prayer, that is), and what to do if one lands on a power line or in water. Following the training session the individual is allowed to jump, but in a controlled situation. The first four jumps are made with a static line attached to the chute, which opens it automatically. After the fourth jump you’re on your own, and experts say that after the tenth jump all the fear is gone. There is nothing really difficult about “It’s more to personal parachuting procedure. geared excitement than to physical strength or agility,” said Mr. Cully, comparing his hobby to other sports. Butterflies Of course, one element linking this with other athletic endeavors is the butterfly syndrome. According to Bob Tullman, the hardest part is talking yourself into getting in the plane before it Sr/// takes off. r The Seneca Sport Parachute Club charges $35 for the first jump. Most of this sum goes for the tfaining session and the folding of the parachute by an expert. The second jump is only $15, the third $11.00, and so on, until after the seventh jump you are almost entirely on your own and the fee is only J $3.00. The organization in Buffalo charges $100 for the first jump, making it well worth the two hour drive that the students must make to Seneca Falls. The Seneca Club also has the advantage of indoor waiting for those not up in the plane, a must in winter, as well as handy kegs of beer when weather conditions make jumping impossible. membership is growing all the time and includes in its ranks many of tomorrow’s doctors, lawyers and accountants. Mike Cully, a graduate student, organized the club a few weeks ago and has been encouraged by an enthusiastic response from students. Mr, Cully, who made almost 500 jumps in his undergraduate days at Brockport, had to start the Buffalo club from scratch. His Brockport club had been jumping as a team in tournaments but when the Buffalonians went to the Seneca Falls jump site for the first time, only two of the 43 participants had ever jumped before. Nothing else around A week ago the club went out again, 60 strong Regulations As one would expect, the federal government has placed certain safety regulations on this potentially dangerous activity. The basic ones are that a jumper must wear a reserve chute; jumping through clouds or into winds over 15 mph is illegal; and the jumper must empty his chute at an elevation greater than 2000 feel. The club is trying to cater to new jumpers for the rest of the year. This provides students with the opportunity for what one well-known television commercial calls “a truly unique experience.” Even those who have jumped have a difficult time explaining the feeling. For additional information contact Mike Cully at 652-2091. Living, breathing for a jump One day about two weeks ago, Terry offered Ed, a typical student, the biggest hit of his life. Terry: Come on Ed, it’s really fantastic. Ed: 1 don’t know about it. How much is it? Terry: Thirty-five dollars for the first time, but it decreases each time after that. And there’s nothing else like it in the world. You’ve got to try it at least once Ed. I’ve thought about trying it for a while now. But I’ve heard of people getting hooked or really messed up doing it. That Saturday Ed found himself in a small four passenger plane, flying over Seneca Falls, New York. When his turn came, he climbed out of the plane onto the metal step that covered the wheel, and on the signal he jumped. Ed fell for the longest two seconds of his life before the static line running from the plane to his parachute automatically opened the chute. He drifted for about three more minutes until he landed near a lake about a quarter mile from the gravel landing circle near the runway. Ed is now an addict. He jumped five more times using a static line until he was well-trained enough to pull his own chute. Within a few months he was jumping from over 10,000 feet and free falling, the real thrill of the sport, for up to 60 seconds. In time Ed would spend more per week on skydiving than on food, despite the low rate per jump. He would live and breathe skydiving jumping on weekends and anticipating the thrill of free fall during the week. He could talk and think only skydiving. Friends and relatives stopped associating with him. To get addicted call Mike Cully at 652-209}. For an even larger fix stop by any Thursday night at 8 p.m. in 244 Norton Hall.

Enough questions have been raised over the past week about the University's commitment to Affirmative Action to warrant a careful look intominority hiring. Although figures released by the University last week show a dramatic increase in the number of minority faculty and non-professional positions, these statistics would be meaningless if they were found to conform to the letter but not the spirit of Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) guidelines. If it is true, as Civil Engineering professor Oswald Rendon-Herrero contends, that the figures do not distinguish between American-born minorities and foreign nationals, it would mean that the fundamental goal increasing educational opportunities of Affirmative Action minorities has been ignored. for — — gentlemen.

Pax. - have — When local Assemblyman Arthur Eve and President squared off last March after Mr. Eve alleged Ketter Robert that the University had been lax in its efforts to recruit minority faculty, all of the underlying social and philosophical issues were buried under an avalanche of statistics. Because of a preoccupation with statistics, or the question “how many?", not one question was raised about the quality of the Affirmative Action program. We are not accusing the administration of subterfuge, but merely asking whether its statistics are inflated that is, have foreign nationals been hired at the expense of American minorities, and has this distorted the figures which indicate a strong commitment to Affirmative Action? " — Curiosity demands that the administration routinely provide answers to some fundamental questions about its minority hiring practices. Some examples: What percentage of black and hispanic faculty and staff hired during the past year are American? Have these faculty been integrated into a variety of academic departments, or loaded into areas like Puerto-Rican and Afro-American Studies? This last question becomes significant if one considers that Affirmative Action is synonymous with increasing educational opportunities for minorities. Surely, fewer minority students would shun pre-professional and humanities programs if they knew they shared similar backgrounds with some of their instructors. Statistics on the number of American blacks who are teaching in the Chemistry, Engineering and English Departments would thus provide a much clearer picture of Affirmative Action than overall figures for the University. Perhaps most of the minority faculty here are American, in which case the University will indeed have demonstrated a more solid commitment to the rights of minorities. But until the adminsitration provides some detailed information to accompany its statistics on minority hiring, no one will know if the spirit of Affirmative Action to increase has educational opportunities for American minorities been sacrificed in the interests of expediency.

Tyranny by one To the Editor Suppose that the Governor of New York State decided to arrest 11 newsmen for “right-wing” infiltration. Suppose that he decided to shut down five newspapers, say, the Buffalo Evening News. Courier Express. New York Times, Daily News and The Wall Street Journal what would one call that? Wouldn’t one call that the tyranny by one of many? Suppose that in all the churches in the city started a “talking newspaper” in their churches to fill the void caused by the lack of newspapers. Wouldn’t that be called a tyranny by one of many? , frorr here by Garry Wills George J. Myers Irrational nationalism To the Editor This is addressed to those who wrote last semester to the Editor about the Middle East question, and to Mr. Samuel M. Prince in particular (2/5/75, and previous issues) whose contribution to the Zionist cause will hopefully be carved on the walls of Knesset To put it simply, the Palestinian Arabs, as a matter of fact, now EXIST. The Middle East problem also EXISTS. The Middle East problem will not be solved unless the Palestinian problem is solved! The reason is that the Palestinians are going to continue fighting, indifferent to Israel’s Phantoms, her nuclear capabilities, and despite Mr. Prince’s protestations that Zionism is not a racist ideology, because for them (the Palestinian Arabs), Zionism is racist. The other part of the answer is: we Arabs, bound together with the same culture, and split apart by dear Colonialism which by the way introduced us to Technology, Oil, and Israel! are going to still help the Palestinian Arabs to regain .... — — their rights. Now, if an Israeli feels he/she belongs to Palestine, and if a Palestinian Arab feels the same, the answer is: compromise! Yet Israel, on the basis of the Law of Return, continues to allow persons who have not been born, nor lived in Palestine, nor ever seen Palestine, but happen to be of the Jewish faith, to go and settle there. Whereas a Palestinian Arab who was born, raised, and lived there, and his fathers and forefathers were the indigenous inhabitants of Palestine is not allowed to go back to his/her own land. This is what the Palestinian Arabs call Zionist exclusionism and racism. So the struggle will go on; and I truly thank you, Mr. Prince, because people like you have made me renew my belief in what I had hitherto regarded as irrational nationalism. Tony S. Khater Correction Last Wednesday’s The Spectrum erroneously reported that the budget for intercollegiate athletics is $222,000. The entice SA allocation to athletics is $222,000, which includes recreation and intramurals. However, men’s and women’s intercollegiates, receive $145,000 combined. Furthermore, Hockey Coach Ed Wright has flatly denied that he had recommended to his athletes to vote one way or another in the mandatory fee referendum, contrary to what was reported. to ther Israeli government spokesmen try to convince visitors that those who live on the occupied West Bank of the Jordan never had things better, and are basically happy with their lot. That is unfortunate, since the assertion is a priori unlikely and easily disproved as a fact. Holding the territories conquered in 1967 can be justified as a necessary evil, but hardly as a blessing to all parties. We are told that this is the most enlightened and humane government ever imposed on a conquered people. Maybe so. But what occupied people loves its military governors? Drive around the West Bank, and look for any fraternization of soldiers with their subjects you will find none. A cold bristle of hate exists on both sides; and the military is kept out of all but the most necessary contact with the hostile which is enlightened administration, population because inefficient. The Roman occupation of Jerusalem during the Second Temple period was very enlightened. The Romans, after all, had a native tool who, if anyone ever could, made “collaborator” a good name. Herod built the Second Temple for the Jews. But resentment at quisling “tax gatherers” increased, along with zealotry, and the Romans had to stamp out rebels and Temple and (almost) a whole people in the bloody war thatended at Masada. What makes Israel think the Palestinians will be any more yielding than they were? West Bank Palestinians have no civil rights, no recourse to trial against detention by fiat or instant deportation. Compare their lot with that of the Catholics in ster who do have the vote, and a right to trial, and citizen status. Yet the hatred of a far less cruel authority exercised over them has led Catholics for decades to condone terrorist IRA tactics as a voice of protest against those they think of as oppressors. Why should the Palestinians, with far greater complaints, love their military rulers? The Israeli argument seems to move in three steps. 1) The Palestinians are better treated by Israel than they were by King Hussein, who slaughtered them in great numbers when he tried to quash the terrqrists. 2) The civil servant establishment on the West Bank never had things better since it is getting a double salary from Israel and from Jordan. And 3) these reasons for gratitude are bound to weigh/nore, in the long run, than romantic PLO rhetoric. Take - - — „ - the points one by one: 1) There is certainly resentment of King Jussein among Palestinians as part of an Arab revolt against an Arab ruler. Yet Hussein is the distant devil now, as compared with the tanks of Israel rolling through Nablus. Besides, internal Arab conflicts exacerbate, rather than ease, Arab hatred of the Jews. On the one hand, Jewish hawks recognize this anti-Semitism when they try to say that dealing with Arafat is useless. But they should not, then, turn around and deny the hostility by caliming that West Bank Palestinians actually love their military rulers. 2) It is true that Israel, under its military administration, pays civil servants (including public school teachers) how could it not? It continues to collect taxes, including some new ones, from the population. Not to return the services for this levy would be foolish. The real question is: why does Hussein keep paying civil servants after publicly cutting loose the West Bank from his reign? Obviously, because he wants to reclaim the territory eventually, and feels he has a chance to do so. Israel sometimes hopes this is the case that Hussein will reabsorb the West Bank in such a way that the PLO is squeezed out. Yet the Israelis cling to this hope while arguing that Hussein is more hated than the occupying Jewish soldiery. 3) All these self-deceiving contentions rest finally on a rationalist thesis that those who deserve love will be loved. Waive entirely the question whether love really is, or can be, earned in a situation where Jews occupy Arab territory by force. Even if that were true, love is not compelled by these means, though pernaps it should be. Favors granted within a framework of alien control just grate on a subject people and make them feel bought. That is the unlovely history of all occupations, and Israel’s is no exception. 1 return to the first question: Why do government officials, usually wise enough not to make excessive claims, try to fool their visitors with so patently weak an argument? 1 fear it is because they have first fooled themselves. They want to believe that the occupied territories are better served by their control. This alleviates their guilt for the occupation and takes away pressure to relinquish the lands, and encourages the false hope that Israel can hold on to these territories indefinitely. In that regard, the self-deception just brews deeper trouble for tomorrow. — - - Wednesday, 12 February 1975 . The Spectrum . Page nine �Ron Hendren Dust to dust Aid to South Vietnam To the Editor. To the Editor. Given enough time, the rain and wind will reduce the new Ellicott Complex to a pile of sand. The Spectrum seems to be against the war in Vietnam. Well, not really, it seems to be against U.S. invovlement in the incident in any way, manner or form. It asks and seems to demand that our government cease to aid the South Vietnamese. The Spectrum is not against the war, but against U.S. involvement, two different things. The Spectrum appears to be for war for the Communists. It appears to be for the slaughter of women and children, for torturing prisoners, for keeping political prisoners and their execution without a fair trial, for authoritarian dictatorial oppressionist governments wh6 do not acknowledge the freedoms of speech, press, religion or the pursuit of happiness, and The Spectrum seems to be for not upholding peace agreements and treaties. Is it not interesting how The Spectrum accuses the U.S. of not upholding our treaty obligations while North Vietnam pours men, tanks, arms, missiles, artillery and such into South Vietnam, a clear breech of the accords. The N.V.A. has established heavy anti-aircraft defenses in Viet Cong controlled areas as well as airfields and military camps of all sizes. To the North Vietnamese the accords are just a scrap of paper, an opinion which The Spectrum condones as long as the Communists hold it but will not permit the U.S. to hold the same Vincent M. Coluccio Unanswered questions To the Editor Now that the referendum deciding the fate of the mandatory student fee is over, now that we are all back to paying our yearly tribute to that collection of special interest groups, i.e., The Student Association, let met ask two questions: (1) Who was in charge of the aforementioned referendum? and (2) Who stood the most to lose with the death of the mandatory student fee? Nancy L. Goodwin Price broadcast not a hoax view. To the Editor. this letter concerning the broadcasting of the Vincent Price lecture over WIRR. First of all, let me say that it was not a joke we had every intention of broadcasting or a hoax the lecture. Unfortunately we ran into difficulties. We got the final OK from Stan Morrow and Vincent Price in the afternoon of the night of the lecture. With about fifteen staff members running around getting everything organized, we finally got the signal out of Clark Gym at about 7:55. The broadcast only lasted for about five minutes before the directors of Norton Hall complained and made us take our line down. Therefore the broadcast of Vincent Price never happened. I would like to apologize to all those people who tuned in and expected to hear Vincent Price over WIRR. I am terribly sorry and I am sure this will never happen I writing am - again. Has The Spectrum no honour, no sense of responsibility? Has The United States of America no honour, no sense of responsibility to uphold her solemn promise of support, of upholding and enforcing a just peace treaty? Are we so base as to give our sacred oath at sunrise only to break it at sunset? A treaty is only as good as its enforcement. If a treaty is broken by one side, the agreement is off, it is a just cause for all out war. But when the Communists break a treaty the news media, as exemplified by The Spectrum condones it and even supports it but condemns our government from following the Communists example or enforcing the treaty. No wonder SEATO is a joke and NATO becoming one. Why should countries trust us when we have no honour? Let us show the world we have honour, a sense of responsibility, of duty to uphold our word. Let us aid South Vietnam, Cambodia, and Israel in their just struggles. Steven Schwartz General Manager, WIRR J S. Purdy Clod and the Pmne To the Editor. This is in response to the most recent cheap shot taken at Buffalo, and it’s NBA Braves by Knick fanatics (lunatics would be more accurate) Lenny Schindel and Arnie Drucher that appeared in last Friday’s The Spectrum. First of all they said they had trouble finding their seats in the Aud. This is understandable since the Auditorium’s seating plan is based on common sense, something most Knick fans have proven they have very little of. They probably have trouble finding their noses when they blow them, let alone find their seats. As far as the Knicks “All-Star” backcourt is concerned, I really can’t argue with them about their “All-Star” status. “Clod” Frazier and Earl “the prune” Monroe are both All-Stars when it comes to; 1) Gunning 2) Hot-dogging 3) Selfish play far as their statement about the “Prune,” excuse me the “Pearl” making circles around the Braves is concerned, for every circle the “Pearl” makes, Randy Smith makes a circle, octagon, and 32 triangles around the Knicks, In regards to the comment that the Knicks have problems getting up for any NBA team except Boston and Milwaukee, it would appear to me that they have been having problems getting up for anybody lately. Since Buffalo defeated New York January 24, the Knicks have a won 2, lost 7 record including the embarrassing loss to the first year New Orleans Jazz. Most recently they lost back to back pressure games against the Celtics (One of the teams they supposedly get “up” for). Their comment that the Knicks “awaken” during the play-offs doesn’t hold water since a team first has to make the play-offs before it can Awaken in them. The way they are playing now the Knicks and their fans will be watching the Braves in the play-offs, and waiting for next year to try again. Bragging that Frazier was MVP of this year’s All-Star game is really nothing to brag about. It was Braves Booster one of the poorest quality All-Star events in recent NBA history. It was obvious that Frazier was out for his own glory at the expense of his teammates. As P.S. In the future you should stick to commenting on tic-tac-toe. It’s more on your level. What would Moses have said? To the Editor: (paraphrasing C.B. DeMille) Ladies and Gentlemen . . . young and old . . . this may seem an unusual procedure, speaking to you upon the battle’s end. But we have a frequently usual subject: The death of student freedom. A story of UB. As many of you know, The Student Association omits some $67 each year from our lives . . . from the time we entered, and was found in the bull rushed upon us by bureaucracy, the children of neglect, until we learned of our rights, and was killed by the “electorate.” To fill in these missing dollars, we are subjected to chronicles such as The Spectrum, and lies such as “services paid by our money.” The Spectrum, as you may recall, once wrote about the needs of all people, while the lies watched these needs become more and Page ten . The Spectrum . more unfulfilled. These chronicled lies have access to items long since destroyed, like our freedom of choice, or perhaps lost, like our fees. The theme, of course, is whether we should live by our own choices or whether we are to be ruled by the whims of a dictate like election '"Washington by Ron Hendren If the Justice Department and the FBI get their way, the traffic tickets you forgot to pay two summers ago may prevent you from getting a new job. This shocking conclusion emerges from a recent indication that the Justice Department is pushing behind the scenes for a National Crime Information Center, an idea left over from the Nixon administration. The proposed Center is an FBI computer which would store information about every individual wanted by the police for whatever infraction at every level of law enforcement. The purpose behind this data bank is deceptively simple. Most crimes are committed by repeaters, and most criminals bounce skillfully from one jurisdiction to another. Therefore, why not let the FBI gather all available information and provide it to local police departments upon request? Then, for example, if the St. Louis police are interrogating John Doe on suspicon of burglary, they can know straight away whether he ever robbed anyone in New York City. Make sense? Yes, argued FBI Director Clarence M. Kelley last March when he sought congressional funding for the crime data bank. It would, he said, make police work“more efficient.” North Carolina Sen. Sam J. Ervin, Jr. (D), whose Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights questioned Kelley, disagreed. “For one man to have control of crime data might be more efficient,” Ervin philosophized, “but this country wasn’t based on the idea of efficiency so much. It was based on the idea of power defused.” And much as one might respect the FBI and admire the improvements made under Director Kelley, Ervin is right. If we’ve learned one thing from the Watergate mess, it is that given too much power public officials will tend to chip away at personal liberties. Occasionally, one of the guises for this chipping is “crime prevention.” Let’s say. for example, that two summers ago while vacationing in Florida you received three parking tickets and forgot to pay them. You broke the law. This fact would go into the FBI data bank. Now you are applying for a new job and unknown to you your potential employer has an informal agreement with the local police to keep “undesirables” out of town (this actually occurred with the Kansas City, Mo., crime data bank initiated while Kelley was police chief there). Presto, your potential employer is told there is a Florida “warrant” outstanding against you. Hooray for efficient police work, but too bad for your new job. Or let’s say that your son is involved in a minor scuffle after a high school dance. Nothing serious, no charges, but the police write up a report. When your son applies for a job five years later will this “arrest” pop out of a computer? Under the proposed National Crime Information Center, it’s not supposed to. But no one can guarantee if won’t. The FBI’s new data bank is far from a fait accompli. At last March's congressional hearings the Nixon administration and Congress seemed to reach an informal agreement: the former would take no action until the legislative branch enacted specific stringent safeguards to prevent abuses like those described above. But now there is reason for concern. Congress, as you might expect, has been slow to act, and the Justice Department recently authorized the FBI to begin “limited message switching.” The switching in itself is not very significant, except that it indicates the Ford administration may be inching away from the agreement made by its discredited predecessor. Moreover, the authorization was made in secret, reaching the light of day only through a leak to therVew York Times. Congress should act, and act soon, to define proper limits for any National Crime Information Center, lest Big Brother reach into our private lives at a time when our attention is focused primarily upon inflation reaching into our pocketbooks.

Fox Wednesday, 12 February 1975 ... ... Eat your words To the Editor: �Destroy! ngself, environment About ten students in Rachel Carson College will be taking a field trip to Montana and Wyoming this summer to experience the reality of destroying oneself by destroying the environment. The eight-credit course, devised by A1 Wagoner, Rachel Carson instructor, and Tom Dailey, visiting former director of Montana PIRG, will explore alternate lifestyles and energy sources, including the radical difference the way white and native cultures treat the environment. “Some of our needs are created by being out of touch with nature,” Mr. Dailey explained. “We wouldn’t need to drive so many cars and make so many machines if we realized what the whole cycle of events is costing the environment.” Today, vast areas of the western U.S. are being destroyed by the strip mining and coal gasification operations. “In the course we hope to make apparent the lessons to be learned from a culture that values the land on which it lives,” Mr. Dailey said. “The contrast in attitude can be seen in the way we ignore t I large amounts of energy available like wind, solar power, and methane gas from sewage, in favor of destroying more land and polluting more air and of the ground.” The course will attempt to attune students to nature in five or six trips to points of symbolic environmental importance. For example, in northern Wyoming on a plateau in the Big Horn Mountains lies the Medicine Wheel, a circle of stones 100 yards in diameter, built by an ancient tribe of Indians. The participants will camp there and compare the area to the Dekker Strip Mine less than 50 miles away. “People from the east have to understand that a less damaging way to live has to be found. Through our lack of touch with nature, we are destroying other cultures and just destroying the land, Mr. Daile V emphasized. Course members will leave Buffalo on June 1st and return in one month. Anyone interested should attend meetings scheduled for 7 p.m. in Haas Lounge tomorrow, or 4 p.m. Friday at 180 Winspear. i A water by digging hydrocarbons out - ~ I— y ! J ~ j 1 jS J — I /tff 'jAMr .

Bronson Spectrum Staff Writer Despite calls for her dismissal because she is a member of the Ku Klux Klan, Janice Schoonmaker plans to finish her term as school board member in Pine Bush.N.Y. “I was put on the school board by good people,” Ms Schoonmaker said, “and I don’t plan to them.” Her disappoint involvement with the KKK, she claims, results from her “interest as a parent.” The Klan, which has supported Bible reading in schools, segregation and arch-patriotism, has been connected with calculated acts of violence and harassment. A report citing some 530 cases of overt “racial violence, reprisal and intimidation,” perpetrated by the KKK, was published by the Friends’ Service Committee, the National Council of Churches and the Southern Regional Council in Killings, beatings, stabbings and the bombing and burning of churches, synagogues and schools commonly occurred following the 1954 Supreme Court decision which made public school segregation illegal. Moderate shift A one-time director of the New York State Independent Northern Klan, Inc., Ms. Schoonmaker represents the shift in Klan emphasis to moderate, legal activity. Claiming her Klan membership affects her decision making no more than another member’s affiliation with the B’nai B’rith might affect it, Ms. Schoonmaker said, “I will judge each child according to his or her merits, regardless if he or she is a Negro, a Jew, or anything. We [the Klan] think that any individual should be involved with educational decision making. Students are the leaders of tomorrow.” Ms. Schoonmaker and her husband are awaiting a state decision regarding his suspension last month from his job as a teacher in the state prison system. Earl Schoonmaker Jr. is also a Klan member. Klansmen follow the law of the Constitution along with the law of > the Bible, according to Ms. Schoonmaker. “When 1 went to school we knew the beauty of the Bible, regardless of any religious affiliation. Our children have been denied that beauty,” she asserted. Answering charges of white superiority and racism that have been leveled against the Klan, Ms. Schoonmaker said her family had a black inmate living with them for four months. “But we object to anyone telling us what to do. If the state told us we had to live with a black inmate, I’d tell them to take a walk.” Those guilty of inflicting their prejudices on others are those who have called for her resignation, Ms. Schoonmaker claims. Board member Robert Collins said in the New York Times that “if some decision hinged on a person being white or non-white. I’m pretty sure which way her decision would come out. In fact. I’m convinced of it.” “It’s unfortunate,” said Ms. Schoonmaker, “that some people let their own prejudices get in the way of their public opinions. But in general, such sentiment has been minimal.” TH-DR pmtnfci SPECIAL GUESTS PANDAMONIUM CIRCUS Feb. 16th at 8 pm — / / 1959. presents T I A | tW — — 3/1.00 Beer Schnapps C A/ Broadway Joes Bar 3051 Main Street a/VP \ ~ .

Aug Aug �Hockey Bulls split home set by Paige Miller Spectrum The hockey Staff Writer Bulls found a toy to play with Sunday night: the New Haven Chargers. While the hapless Chargers were tripping over the proverbial blue-line, the Bulls coasted to an 11-1 victory. The night before, American International College (A1C) benefitted from a few Buffalo errors to score a 6-4 victory. The Bulls record is now 11-15-1. In the New Haven contest, Co-captain Doug Bowman scored on a two-on-nothing break-away late in the first period to record his second hat trick of the season. Doug added a goal in each of the subsequent periods to tie teammate Mike Klym’s school record of five goals in one game. “He (Bowman) found it difficult to score in previous years,” said Buffalo coach Ed Wright. “But tonight, everything he shot went in.” The Bulls played well in the first two periods, but eased up in the third, possibly to give the New Haven goalie Bob Blaikie a rest. Blaikie was named third star of the game for holding the Bulls to just eleven goals. The Yellow Jackets of AIC jumped out to a 4-1 Thrown out again With all the wit, charm and subtlety of a stampeding bull moose, Buffalo hockey fan Bill lead in the first period. Their attack featured three New York City products, Tom Mullen, Edgar Alejandro and Tom Lloyd, who are first, fourth and fifth, respectively, in ECAC Division II scoring this year. The Bulls, playing without Bowman (who was suspended for fighting at Brockport), defenseman Mark Sylvester, who re-injured his knee, and wing Mike Dixon, fought back to attain a 4-4 tie. Wright felt that the Bulls were hurt by the absence of these three, although he was not sure that their presence would have changed the outcome of the game. AIC’s Steve Wright recovered the puck behind the Buffalo goal, skated in front and flipped in the winning score. Goalie John Moore was not at his best. He had previously allowed a slap shot from past the blue line to get by as well as a shot coming Rosenthal attracted the attention of several of the AIC players Saturday night.' Paul Cartmill of the Yellow Jackets then demonstrated for Rosenthal one of the various uses of a hockey stick, poking him below the right eye. Rosenthal was ejected for the second time this year and received a one game suspension. Fellow heckler David J. Rubin was also ejected, but claimed, “I was only guilty by association.” straight off a face-off. Wright summed up the difference between the two teams and the two games. “AIC has much more talent. New Haven is just a young squad,” said Wright. “Tonight (against New Haven) we moved the puck better. Last night, we hit the crossbar a couple of times. We were much more frustrated last night.” Bad luck refs and overtime , by Dave Hnath Contributing Editor They should rename them the the third Buffalo’s luckless straight game, came out of time regulation cagers tied. They would have been better off if it had stayed that way. The Bulls dropped a 100-98 decision to a strong Youngstown State team Saturday night, lowering their season record to 6-12. Bad-luck Bulls. For angry Leo Richardson, Buffalo’s head coach. “Number one, we had poor officiating and number two, we had a five point lead and the basketball,” he added. Frustratinon Obviously, prosperity doesn’t set well with the Bulls, since they repeatedly tried to give the game away. “We had the lead, and Bobby (Dickinson] puts it up,” observed the still annoyed Buffalo mentor. “Bobby never should Last year, the Bulls dropped a have put it up. We had the lead 90-89 decision at Youngstown in again, and then Gary [Domzalski] a game in which the officiating puts it up. I distinctly told Bobby was a major factor. It was the and Gary to hang on to the damn same story Saturday as the Bulls, ball.” Self discipline does not trailing by nine at the half, took a seem to be one of the Bulls strong five point lead with just two minutes remaining. “The game never should have ;one into overtime,” reflected an points. The key man for the Penguins was little used reserve Steve Postel. Postel fame off the bench with less than five minutes remaining in regulation. What he did in the next ten minutes is more than most bench warmers do in a career. Following a last second time out, the 6’6” forward took the inbounds pass with one second left and scored on his first shot of the evening, a desperation 35-footer to tie the game. Then, with fourteen seconds left in overtime, Postel stole the ball from Buffalo center Sam Pellom, drove the length of the court, and hit on a short jumper from the corner with five seconds left. This time the Bulls called time out, apparently with four seconds remaining on the clock. “The timekeeper let the clock run down when we called time out,” said Bull assistant Harry Hutt. “He screwed it up." This week's Athlete of the Week is freshman swimming sensation Ted Brenner. The shy backstroker, a graduate of Amherst Central High School, does not really care for the publicity. He feels athletics get too much attention and he prefers to swim just for the fun of it. But how can we ignore the fact that he set a school record everytime he got his feet wet last Tuesday night, helping the Bulls to a narrow one point win over Rochester? Brenner lowered his own mark in the 200 yard backstroke, set a new 200 yard individual medley record and was a member of the group that eclipsed Buffalo's long standing 400 medley relay standard, rounding out a perfect night in the pool.

Not mute little boys. But children so withdrawn so afraid of failure, they cannot make the slightest attempt to do anything at which they might fail. Some don’t talk. Some don’t listen. Most don’t behave. And all of them don't learn. One day someone asked us to help. Kodak responded by working with the teachers. Showed them how, through the language of pictures, the children could communicate as they never could before. And the teachers sent the kids out to take pictures with their cameras. And then the miracle. Little boys who had never said anything, looked at the pictures and began to talk. They said “This is my house.” “This is my dog.” “This is where I like to hide.” They began to explain, Page fourteen . The Spectrum . Wednesday, 12 February 1975 to describe, to communicate. And once the channels of communication had been opened, they began to learn. What does Kodak stand to gain from this? Well, we’re showing how our products can help a teacher —and maybe creating a whole new market. And we’re also cultivating young customers who will someday buy their own cameras and film. But more than that, we’re cultivating alert, educated citizens. Who yvill someday be responsible for our society. After all, our business depends on society. So we care what happens to it. EH Kodak.

In the vote on the new SA UM Constitution Vol. 25, No. 54 State University of New York at Buffalo Monday, 10 February 1975 Expected college enrollment decline in the coming decade by John A. Fink Spectrum » Staff Writer The ramifications of projected enrollment declines in state universities and colleges were the theme of a conference Thursday at Rosary Hill College sponsored by the Western New York College Personnel Association. Fuller, State William S. Education Department assistant commissioner for higher education planning, delivered the keynote address which was discussed afterwards by a panel of three local college Presidents, including President Robert Ketter. Armed with an array of statistical projections and graphs. Dr. Fuller discussed the history of enrollment projections. Studies done as recently as three years ago have proven totally inaccurate because they predicted rising enrollments, Dr. Fuller explained. A new report was released last month, he said, predicting that no its institution will increase enrollment in the coming decades. Downward trend Elaborating on the causes for the enrollment projection reversal. cited birth rate Dr. Fuller statistics showing that since 1961, New York’s annual birth total has dropped 37 percent as compared with a national decline of 25 This situation, he percent. in a indicated, will result downward trend in college beginning enrollment around 1980. “If these projections are correct,” Dr. Fuller added, “we have some real problems.” local Discussing Dr. Fuller enrollment said the number of Western New York’s high school graduates will peak declines. this year then begin to drop. He warned college personnel that they have only four to five years to take steps toward meeting financial problems that will certainly almost accompany declines in admissions. These changes. Dr. Fuller emphasized, will have to be made by college administrators because it is too late to change birth patterns and too difficult to change geographic patterns attract more students. to Exploring possible solutions, Dr. Fuller remarked that the first thing schools must do is decrease the attrition rate of students already enrolled, rather than step which recruiting, already up consumes large expenditures. “The best thing an institution can do to improve retention in college is to get faculty interested in students,” he believed Frustration Another solution possible would be to smoothe the transition between high school and college and between two year and four year institutions. Dr Fuller said, so that less students will become frustrated with school and drop out. He feels there are many people who never went to college because they thought they could never make it or survive it. If guidance counselors made these people aware of their capabilities, many would go on to higher education. Dr. Fuller claimed. This has proven true at the University of New York City (CUNY), whose freshman class this year includes 6,000 students who school high earned equivalency diplomas, he said. Dr Fuller urged programs better counseling and improved transportation systems to ease access to these institutions. “Every p o s t-secondary institution should redefine its mission,” Dr. Fuller went on. Catalogs are the only contact a college or university has with a student and students are entitled to get what the catalog says, he said, adding that success depends greatly on mter-institutional cooperation as well. ‘Prophets of gloom’ Responding to Dr. Fuller’s Robert remarks, H. Stauffer. President of Erie Community College, said he disagreed with many of them and called Albany officials “prophets of gloom.’’ The problem with Albany, he claims, is that it "describes college students as only 18 year olds." Dr. Stauffer felt the situation could change from enrollment decline to overcrowding if other society sectors of were encouraged to attend college He predicted that as much as 10 of County's 1 lie percent population could be enrolled in local colleges (as compared with 4.5 percent presently enrolled I "I can't see the negativism existing in higher education today." he added, the basic noting that alternative facing society is "to build schools or jails." President Keller was the next panel member to offer his views. He said he viewed the situation as "survival, not salvation" for some institutions. approached was in the wrong way, he said that many students aren’t going to school because it no " ” Claiming that the problem being financial reward, prestige or self-fulfillment after graduation. Dr Ketter argued that this society is too "hung up" with degrees and urged greater flexibility in education because "an institution cannot (presently! become unique within the system Ketter said Dr. he was skeptical somewhat of projections. remembering how several years ago, projections had been made to encourage people to enter the field of education “at a time when there were no jobs available Me also mentioned that increased federal and state funding for the part-time students was essential. The final speaker. Robert S. Marshall, President of Rosary Hill offers longer long-term College, injustice more said it would be an for colleges to attract students by becoming “vocational high schools.” Dr. Marshall proposed, essentially he has in the past, that consolidation is the only way some schools will make it past 1990. “The most flexible stance we could now take for the small, private college is to get into a newer, more stable configuration, which means consolidation,” he said. Dr. Ketter also feels there will be both economic and pragmaticreasons for mergers, and predicts that they will eventually make as some public institutions unnecessary. Progress? Univers ity professor doubts Affirmative Action figures by Richard Korman Campus h'Jitor An assistant professor in the Department of Civil Engineering has charged that the statistics by released the University indicating a marked increase in minority faculty and staff are misleading because they group both American and foreign born minorities under general headings like black and Spanish. Statistics which include foreign born nationals are .inflated if those statistics are intended to show an the number in increase of American minorities, according to Oswald Rendon-Herrero The minority hiring statistics released by the University last week are "a lot of beans,” he said. For example, statistics often fail to distinguish among African blacks, American blacks, and other foreign nationals of the black race, or do not denote the differences between Puerto Ricans, Chicanos, and foreign nationals from Hispanic countries. The Spectrum reported Friday that the number of minority faculty at the State University at Buffalo has dramatically increased since a vigorous recruitment effort began last year to comply with federal Affirmative Action guidelines. There is “a definite upward trend toward realizing our goals," Harry Jackson, assistant to President Robert Ketter said Wednesday. Minority groups were broken down into four categories for recruitment Blacks. American Indians, Spanish and Oriental comprised Blacks the most significant minority group increase, with 18 new faculty and non-professional positions. Additionally, it was reported that the number of American Indian faculty remained the same, but Spanish Americans increased by eight and Orientals by three. "Percentages computed from such data are too often used to demonstrate significant advances - made by American blacks in attaining advanced degrees, when the advances are in reality, negligible,” Dr. Rendon-Herrero wrote in his 1974 study entitled Certain Inequities in the Graduate engineering education of American Minority engineers. The report will soon be published in the trade journal, engineering Issues. “The Spectrum was taken for a ride,” Dr. Rendon-Herrero observed. Distorted statistics improper often categories are used to purport such things as percentage increase in enrollment of blacks as if to imply that the advances were made by American blacks,” Dr. Rendon-Herrero wrote. —Jensen Dr. Rendon-Herrero “Too African nationals have certain cultural and identity advantages always by not shared their American brothers, which enables the black Africans to “qualify, stive for. and obtain adanced degrees in engineering.” Dr Rendon-Herrero said “Having a handle on one’s culture and indentity explains why Japanese Chinese are Americans represented slightly beyond their and number in the population.” In his study, he cited a Ford Foundation report on minority representation in higher education which disputes the impression that blacks and Spanish-surnamed Americans have dosed the gap between them and white students, and that special efforts to assist these minorities are no longer necessary Dr Kendon-llerrero contends that inordinate amounts of money are being spent to underwrite the cost of educating foreign students in graduate engineering programs in the United States, while at the continued on page 4 • �Warm and wet? Villains —a favorite topic for ‘pussycat’ Vincent Price Scoop Jackson eyes the President’s office Senator Henry M. Jackson of Washington, to noone’s surprise, has announced that he will seek the Democratic Party’s Presidential nomination in 1976. In a five-minute television commercial Thursday night, the 62 year-old legislator said he would use the office of the Presidency “to help the people in this country who are getting hurt. The little people little business, the elderly, the young, across the board have been the ones who have taken the beating.” Mr, Jackson, nicknamed “Scoop,” was the fourth Democrat to enter the field for the Democratic nomination, a field that promises to get more crowded before the year ends. far, Thus Arizona Representative Mortis Udall, former Governor Jimmy Carter of Georgia, and former Oklahoma, and former Oklahoma Senator Fred Harris have declared their candidacies. Texas junior Senator Lloyd Bentsen is expected to announce his candidacy February 17. Alabama Governor George Wallace has played his hand close to his chest, but is widely regarded as either a Democratic or Independent Presidential contender. — — Money Except for Mr. Wallace, Mr. Jackson is the best-financed of the potential candidates, having already raised over $1 million. He also has kept his name in the news almost constantly since the 1972 elections. An advocate of strong national defense and a tough pro-Israel policy, Mr. Jackson has drawn criticism from the Democratic left as a “hawk” on Vietnam and a cold warrior. Senator Jackson has taken a leading role in legislation dealing with the energy crisis and economid problems, and has emerged as a vocal critic of the Ford administration. Most recently, he led the fight in the Senate to tie the Soviet-American trade bill to liberalized emigration requirements for Soviet Jews. In the wide-open race for the nomination, Mr. Jackson is the nearest thing the Democratic Party has to a front-runner, but most observers agree it doesn’t mean much. Congressman Udall’s campaign to capture the left wing of the party has not succeeded spectacularly, but neither has it failed. Mr. Udall must fight for the left-wing with Mr. Harris and such possible dark-horse candidates as Idaho Senator Frank Church, who currently heads the Senate’s investigation into intelligence activities in the United States. Minnesota Senator Walter Mondale, a strong liberal, has already withdrawn. Convincing terror He feels that the fine line between terror and comedy makes it very difficult to create a convincing horror picture. The role of a villain presents a great challenge to an actor and there is much satisfaction in playing it well. The villain has a multi-faceted role because he must “keep up the suspense;” the hero is just “loo damned good,” Mr. Price remarked. Aristotle said that a villain needn’t be unattractive. Preferably, he should be a member of a king, Mr. Price stated, explaining high society that if a king can fall a victim to evil, the audience will realize it can happen to them. He also said that the villains we are closest to are the ones we read about every day in the newspapers. Life is a painful experience and people are sometimes crushed by it. he observed. Portraying villains wasn't always Mr. Price’s primary occupation. His career started with his role as Albert the Good, husband of Queen Victoria (played by Helen Hayes) in London. He also played Morgan in The Last Man un Earth. “Second choice” Mr. Jackson’s principal foe on aside from the party’s right Gov. Wallace is Mr. Bentsen. Mr. Bentsen has stated frankly that he hopes to be “everyone’s second choice,” a sound position since there is not likely to be a first-ballot winner. Holdovers from the campaign of South Dakota Senator George McGovern have said they would oppose a Jackson nomination. Former North Carolina Governor Terry Sanford and New York Governor Hugh Carey have also been mentioned as possible compromise nominees. Senators Edward Kennedy (Mass.), Hubert Humphrey (Minn.) and Edmund Muskie (Me.) all have denied any Warm towels intentions of running for the Looking back at some of his other movies, Mr. nomination, but Mr. Humphrey Price recalled the thrill of working with Ava Gardner said he will accept a draft if the in The Bribe.

Mr. Jackson is handicapped by a lackluster campaign style. He is said to be a dull speaker, but no one seriously doubts his legislative skill. In a survey done by some Ralph Nader associates, Mr. Jackson was named the “most effective” Senator. — — - —Jensen of their wits at a showing of the box-office success House of Was, when he leaned forward in the dark theatre and asked, “Did you liiiiiike it?” in a ghoulish drawl. While filming a scene for Theater of Blood, Mr. Price’s character was required to dive into the Thames River. “There I was standing twenty-two stories above the Thames, suspended by a cord. My goodness, I don't even like to stand up on a book,” he shivered. Mr. Price set the mood for his presentation by periodically reading selections from Shakespeare and Edgar Allen Poe. To him, Yago from Othello and Richard III stand for everything that is wicked and evil. For an encore, he recited the poem, “The Conqueror Worm,” a dark, violent analysis of man’s self-destruction.

It is the villains, rather then the heroes, who seem to remain embedded in’ the minds of audiences. Their appeal is universal, because in the theatre, as in life, someone must create conflict and suspense. Such was the analysis of one of the greatest “villains” of all time, actor Vincent Price, before a captive audience in Clark Hall Thursday night, courtesy of the SA Speakers Bureau. Mr. Price, who has also been acclaimed as an art connoisseur and a gourmet cook, focused the discussion on villains in the theatre and his own roles as an actor. “Villains are a favorite subject of mine,” Mr. Price said, although he admits to being a “pussycat” in real life. The appeal of movie villains like Clark Gable, James Cagney, and Humphrey Bogart has become legendary, he explained, because their characters carried with them an aura of mystique.

The Law School’s admissions looks for qualified applicants, non-minority, minority or and sets an informal number of slots expected to be filled by minority students. This doesn’t mean the Minority Admissions Committee must bring forward any specific numbers, he indicated Women, who comprise about 25 percent of the student body at the Law School are not considered separately from men. Last year, they made up one-third of all the applicants. Jerome Fink, the University’s pre-law advisor, claims that women have proven better achievers than men. Students f who spend their undergraduate years at the State University at Buffalo are by no guaranteed a place in means Buffalo Law School. But statistics show that a disproportionate number of those admitted are from this University. For the entering class of Sept. a total of 2,713 applications were received. Of these, 365 or almost 14 percent were from the University. Almost 42 percent (152) of the students here who applied were accepted. Of the 295 students who actually enrolled, 27 percent - or 79 were from the ’74, — Mixed criteria! — Since students are admitted on the premise that they will be successful, “there is no need to take X amount of people from any certain group.” Dr Holley explained. Those students with over a 3.0 and 625 LSAT score have usually been admitted to the Law School in the first round, while those with less than a 2.5 •and 5 50 LSAT score are automatically rejected Those in between are considered again in the second for category alternative qualifications. The only difference between that category and the third minority category. Dr. Holley emphasized, was that the Minority Admissions Committee is able to give more attention to the smaller number of minority applicants. However, he said that the difference between the GPA’s of minority white and students accepted was not significant, averaging about 0 4. 16 minority students Only entered the Law School in Sept. 1974. Charles Wallin, co-chairman of the Admissions Committee, said these figures do not reflect the admission procedure, but rather the high tuition costs. Prof. Holley observed that of approximately 40 minority students — CSHDCISIIK students.

Mr. Wallin disputed claims that an undergraduate degree here gives one a free ticket to the Law School. But since there are more applications from here than from any other single institution, more applicants from this University are accepted. Of 322 students admitted tp Buffalo Law School in September 1973, 38 were minority students. This compares with 12 minority students admitted in 1969; 35 in 1971; and 24 in 1972. Discussing the backgrounds of applicants, Mr. Wallin said that most entering law students have majored in either political science or philosophy. there pre-law However, because no set undergraduate is program, any major is acceptable. There are 800 law students in the school. The rate of attrition has declined over the last 10 years from 10 percent to about four percent last year. For this reason. 260—275 students will be admitted this year, as opposed to 300 last year. The Law School is presently considering ways of improving its admissions procedures.

Dr. Rendon-Herror said that foreign nationals are remaining in the United States in increasing numbers. “If money is available for research and graduate experimentation, why is there no money available for the graduate engineering supprt of American minorities engineers? Why haven’t special graduate programs been established for American minorities so that they may have opportunities to participate in advanced work in engineering, or in any field in higher education for that matter?” Dr. Rendon-Herrero asks in his report. academic the inequities of graduate funding. Dr. engineering Rendon-Herrero points to the number of advanced degrees awarded to foreign nationals by this University last year. Of a total of I 14 masters degrees, 44 (38 percent) were awarded to students fr outside the United States. As far as could be determined, not one advanced engineering degree was awarded to American an Afro-American, Indian, Chicano or Puerto Rican. “Nevertheless, it appears that this trend will inevitably continue,” he said. To demonstrate the problem Puerto Ricans face in gaining entrance in American graduate engineering programs, Dr. Rendon-Herrero observed that out of a sample of 104 schools, with a total enrollment of 90,344 engineering students and an engineering faculty of 7,972, the total number of Puerto Rican students amounted percent. enrolled in engineering to 131 or 0.00145 Puerto Rican faculty representation was almost non-existent. “The combined number of American minority engineers having graduate degrees most likely to amounts to less than one percent of the total population possessing advanced degrees,” he concluded.

According to Tony Grifasi, a student who is coordinating the fund raising, the defense effort needs donations that will be paid back after the parents arrange for bank loans. Mr. Grifasi is keeping accurate records of all money loaned to facilitate reimbursement in about a month. In addition, a benefit concert is being planned to raise funds. UUAB has offered its help, and Jim Santella, former disc jockey for WPHD has offered to MC any benefit. Anybody who can help the defense effort in any way is asked to contact Mr. Grifasi at 836-7470. -MV V> 1 MM LIFE WORKSHOPS Life Workshops are credit-free, free-of-charge, of the I niversity Community. open to all X members i Beginning This Week!

More and more people have begun to feel the ramifications of the declining economy on their individual lives, including college students who remained in school believing their education would be a ticket to a successful career. A statistic like seven and a half million unemployed has lately become a more meaningful number, and it is clear that almost every sector of the American public would like a few answers. Unfortunately, neither President Ford nor Congress has come even close to providing any answers. Although there have been recent indications that the Ford Administration is slowly emerging from its passive "wait and see" stance, Mr. Ford is still primarily a free market man, one who believes in practically unrestrained lassez-faire economics. Fie has already made known his distaste for wage and price controls and gasoline rationing, and his refusal to enforce the Supreme Court’s desegregation decisions is but another example of his innate distrust of federal power and is consistent with everything he stands for. In short, Mr. Ford's natural inclinations run completely counter to the kinds of strong, centralized measures this country needs to create jobs and get back on its feet again. While Mr. Ford criticizes Congress for advocating social programs that are inflationary, he has bloated the defense budget beyond any rational security needs. Some of Mr. Ford's aides, notably Treasury Secretary William Simon, have urged that we not lose sight of the war against inflation in our battle with recession. Cutting defense spending, which by its very nature is inflationary, would go a long way toward reducing inflation. By criticizing the food stamp program and suggested increases in social security benefits, the administration only throws more salt on the wounds of those most severely hurt by recession while feeding a small clique of defense contractors who became millionaires as a result of the war in Indochina. Mr. Ford's dwarfed conception oj the current crisis has therefore placed an even greater burden on Congress to act quickly. Bui while Congress has wisely rejected the President's timid and regressive measures for fighting recession, it too seems oblivious to the urgency of immediate action. The $20.2 billion tax cut approved last week by the House Ways and Means Committee is far superior to Mr. Ford's proposed S16 billion cut for two reasons: it is more sensitive to individuals with incomes of less than $15,000 a year, and it spreads out the cuts between an $8 billion refund of last year's taxes and an S8.4 billion permanent tax cut. Both of these measures, coupled with the $3.8 billion reduction to businesses through increases in investment tax credit should increase the purchasing power of millions of people by Clem Colucci The following is excerpted from of the world in the last issnt o} The New York Times. Editor's note: reports on the end The world, home of the human race and all known species of plant and animal life, ended today not with a bang, but a whimper. The event itself was long awaited by sources close to the world, but the timing came as a surprise. Some had said the world would end by fire. Some, however, contended the world would end by ice. No one would say for the record how the end came. A spokesman for the Police Department said it had received a telephone call from representatives ol the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) claiming credit for the world's destruction. (In Washington, Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger denied a report that the world's end had been preceded by a “hot line’’ call from Soviet Premier Leonid Brezhnev to late President Gerald R. Ford. (See story, page 3J ] Announcements of the world’s end sent the stock market plummeting to an all-time low of 317 in moderate trading. This decline coincided with the release of statistic from the Labor Department showing unemployment topping the 10 percent mark for the first time since the Great Depression. News A iwlysis bv James Reston There is a great deal more to be said tor the end of the world than Is apparent on first sight. Those in Washington tend to he overly cynical about the possibilities of making a serious start on any new alternatives. Practices and policies continue with no been er jus this way. Though the world s end brings a close to the human effort as we know it. it opens the way for limitless opportunities, il we but have the courage to redeem ourselves and cany on as best we can.

(Obituaries continues on pages 47-5.424) World t ads: Planet Was Witness To AH History by Alden Whitman The world, who could truly have been said to have “seen it all,” ended today. Its age was a subject of controversy, especially since the world itself never discussed its age. which was extreme. Estimates range from four to six billion years, give or take five million. Of the world's early life, little is known, since there were living creatures tor all but the last several hundred million years of its existence. Detailed knowledge of the world’s numerous activities became available only with the beginnings ot recorded history some 6,000 years ago . . Early in the world’s career, it developed the seas, which would serve as the birthplace of life . . . The creation of life, considered by some experts the most notable event in the world’s distinguished existence, remained at the world’s end a source ot mystery. That it began in the seas by then perhaps two billion years old is not seriously disputed . . Man was considered the world's crowning achievement, though some experts insist photosynthesis was even more remarkable. The world itself never commented on the issue . . . With the rise of the human race, the world saw the development of agriculture, technology, spoken and written language, commerce, art, philosophy, crime, pollution and war . . . . - - Important Notice: This will be the last edition Obituaries of The New York Times.

Once it succeeds in relieving the tax burden, Congress must take the lead in expanding the Federal public works program to create millions of jobs, to ensure that Mr Ford's affinity for big business does not cause any more hardships for those in another matter, and greatest need. Americans are by nature inclined to think that problems will go away by themselves, but that is pure fantasy.

January 31 edition of The Spectrum. I feel that a correction is in order. While I found Mr. Alzamora’s column to be both humorous and an apt account of the fears that beset all of us faced with graduation and impending responsibility, there is one word he used that was inaccurate. In the line. “Who are these nerds’’.” the word nerd is spelled wrong Mr Al/amora uses the word nurd (corrected spelling) with authority and it surprises me that someone who is so familiar with its proper usage could make such a gross error. I am hoping that this misspelling is in some way the fault of the printer and not Mr Al/amora's as I feel his experience with the subject of nurds is unequalled in this University and as a matter of course should be able to spell it correctly.

THIS FREE TIME SINCE l'v& feEEN s u I R R U JV T Pf i CHUCK IHNPVOUR PHOt«n fcdd.-if;:*y< rvx* Mike Kl * II Looking forward to the Pros When pro scouts and opposing coaches watch the Buffalo hockey Bulls perform, there’s always one player among the two or three they mention that impresses them. “Who’s that number 18?” asked a scout at a recent game. The answer, as any Bulls’ hockey fan knows, is senior co-captain Mike Klym. Since coming to Buffalo from Leamington, Ontario, a small farming community, Mike has been a major factor in the Bulls’ rise to respectability if not prominence, in the ECAC’s Division II. “There were four of us that came here [from Leamington], and it was easier for us to come as a group,” related Klym in an attempt to explain what drew him to Buffalo. “Doug [Bowman, high school classmate and present teammate] had a chance to go to Ohio State, and I was talking to Ohio University and Bowling Green, but we figured it would be easier to stay together.” Staff Writer The Buffalo Bulls wrestling season has been characterized by close wins with many matches narrowly saved by heavyweight Charlie Wright. Thursday night, Wright did his thing again as the Bulls defeated a hungry Brockport team 19-18. Two years ago Brockport fell 2 points short of the Bulls. After rolling over Binghamton earlier this season, the Golden Eagles must have thought the Bulls could be had this time since Binghamton beat Buffalo two weeks ago. By the time the heavies were ready to wrestle, Wright found himself in still another fo those do or die situations. The Bulls were 2 points down so he had to win. In a bout filled with cries of stalling from the hometown fans, Wright decisioned Brockport’s Mackey Tyndall. A boxing-style third period saw Wright insure his and the team’s win with a takedown in the last seven seconds. After the bout, Wright admitted that he had stalled. “I was too tired to set something up, but I knew he wouldn’t take me down,” he said. “1 guess that flu is still with me.” i\ I } ( \ »e«f«CTiTy ** gm. Last season. Bull captain John Strages had 66 points, second in the East. “He didn’t even get consideration for All-East. It wasn’t even close,” said Klym. “If he had done that in New England, he would have been All-everything.” Stranges and Klym combined to form one of the top scoring lines in the East. Mike was fourth with 63 points. Performance, not status The important thing to Mike is his performance on the ice, not the honors he earns. “When the pro scouts come out to watch you. they evaluate you on your performance on the ice, not your status." Mike said. Last summer he the Buffalo Sabres, the New York talked to three teams Islanders and the St Louis Blues. “They all suggested I go back to school and get my degree. I'm hoping for a tryout and to sign before I go to training camp," Klym commented. Klym has a gutsy attitude towards his future, with a safe alternative in his pocket. “I've got all my marbles on making pro hockey." Klym continued. “If I don’t pul all my efforts to it, I don't deserve to make it. If I don't make -Center the NHL or WHA right away, it won’t be the end-of the world." There are lower levels of pro hockey that might Buffalo's star forward Mike Klym preparing to face off in satisfy Klym for a while. If not, he will have a physical an early season contest. Klym hopes to exchange this education degree to fall back on. Buffalo uniform for one of a professional team next year. matches over lean Brockpori Spectrum vAtq Despite Klym’s consistent performance over the four years he’s been here (178 points in 96 games), he’s never really been seriously considered for All-ECAC, All-American, or All-anything. “It’s possible that if I’d gone to a New England school. I’d have gotten more exposure,” Mike feels. Buffalo heavy wins exciting by Lynn Everard * betide BUT NOW'S m «•*« Klym sees the lack of Canadian players as part of the reason the Bulls aren’t as strong this season as they have been in previous years. “It’s evident in the teams that we play that you need the Canadians,” Mike claimed. “1 know it’s not very nice to say, but the [Canadian) talent just seems to be on a little higher level.” Contributing Editor Mistake “If I had to do it over again,” Klym continued, “there’s no way I would come here. Knowing what I know now, I figure I definitely could play Division I hockey. Now, I get up for the tough games because I want to prove I can play at that level. The better the competition, the belter I play,” Mike has proven himself by scoring 104 goals over the years, including 19 against the few Division I opponents the Bulls play. When Mike first came to Buffalo, he expected to step into a first class operation. It wasn’t long before he found out it wasn’t quite that way. “1 didin’t expect those midnight games we played at the Amherst rink,” reflected the big right wing. At that time, though, everyone just wanted to play, and no one complained. We just wanted to prove ourselves, he added. “Now, we go to places like Bowling Green and Clarkson, and we see the super set-ups they’ve got,” Mike said with a little bit of envy. — r y I I 9 by Dave Hnath 'X THAT'S HOt»f FE» Et T TH«H \ what roo oo MOW) BENNIE THINK flftOUT IT.. lf)\0 OFF FROM SCHOOL p E , l WISH As exciting as the previous match was, so too with the first. Ray Pfeifer, Buffalo’s overnight sensation at 118, upset previously undefeated Ray Porteus. The quick and aggressive freshman never let up on Porteus, tripping him, taking him down, and turning him over en route to an important 4-point superior decision. Pfeifer had also upset Syracuse’s Tim Meredith in his previous outing. Big pin The only pin of the night came at 134 where the consistent Jim Young shook off a right cross and put Scott hill to the mat. The 6 point win enabled the Bulls to win only four of ten weight classes and still win the meet. Emad Faddoul also came up with a superior decision over Blain Buccholtz. Though Faddoul dominated the match the 6’1” Buchholtz was too tall to pin. Emad did manage to score a near fall, but Buccholtz had too much leverage to be held there. Bob Martineck gave Brockport’s Division III national champion Frank Calabria a good fight at 167. Martineck stayed with Calabria in the first period and got in'a real good ride in the second, but Calabria came back in the third period to win. Page six . The Spectrum .

There is “a definite upward trend toward our goals,” Harry Jackson, realizing assistant to President Robert Ketter said Wednesday. The most significant increase occurred in the “instructional faculty” category, where 20 minority members were added. Although minority non-teaching professionals decreased by two, there was a total increase of 11 in the Civil Service category Minority groups were broken down into Blacks, four categories for recruitment Oriental. and American Indians, Spanish Blacks comprised the most significant minority group increase, with the addition of 18 faculty and non-professional positions. The number of American Indian faculty remained the same but Spanish Americans increased by eight and Orientals by three. — Thousands of complaints Minority recruitment increased across the country last year, when college and university administrators were forced to recognize demands by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) to increase employment opportunities for women and minorities. Affirmative action resulted from the Department of Labor’s efforts in the 1960’s to force labor unions and employers to open up new jobs for minority workers. Colleges have been compelled to undertake affirmative action since 1970, when women and minority groups began filing thousands of discrimination complaints with the United States Office of Civil Rights. Dr. Ketter outlined his own procedures for affirmative action last year in directives to the Vice Presidents and department chairmen. “The University is under constant scrutiny by HEW to see that we are meeting our objectives,” explained Jim De Santis, Director of University Information Services. Last spring, Democratic Assemblyman Arthur Eve charged that the University was guilty of racial discrimination in the hiring of faculty and staff. This was sharply disputed by Dr. Ketter. Familiar sources Nevertheless, several obstacles to minority and women’s hiring remain. One common practice among department chairmen is to use the “buddy-boy” system while searching for new faculty. Faculty already in the department may recommend for hiring a friend, old classmate or teacher. Relying on “prestigious” institutions such as Harvard University to recomment “bright new prospect” is a popular practice also. But the tendency is to rely on familiar sources, and many observers think it is unlikely that blacks, Puerto Ricans, Chicanos, American Indians or women will be selected in this manner. Perhaps the most basic obstacle facing qualified blacks is the tendency among many department chairmen to hire only exceptionally qualified blacks. An “ordinary” white might be hired while an “ordinary” black probably would not. At this University, the minority hiring process typically begins with an authorization for recruitment granted by the Provost’s office, which then must be, approved by the Director of Minority Faculty and Staff Recruitment. A notice is then sent to all State University campuses —continued on page 2— Proposed State budget will hurt University by Richard Korman Campus editor Governor Hugh Carey’s proposed State University budget would sharply reduce the number of personnel in Student Services and the Faculty of Nursing, and deliver a devastating blow to the University libraries by slashing the rate of book acquisition by one third. President Robert Ketter told the Faculty Senate Tuesday that will save $336,000 the recommended increase of $3.9 The budget calls for $464,000 million in the University budget in savings by cutting instructional was well below the $6,6 million supplies and expenses, space he had requested to keep the rental, student services, nuclear University “at an even keel.” But he stressed that the Governor’s budget was only a recommendation to the state legislature, and was contingent upon his simultanteous request for increased taxes. the In all likelihood, Legislature will not make any increase in the budget, and the budget requests could be reduced even further Dr. Ketter said. He explained that if the state legislature cannot support higher taxes, “one must anticipate that it [the budget) will not be this good.” The legislature must pass a final budget by April Thirty-five cuts The budget 1. necessitates science and technology, and other unspecified areas. Dr. Ketter also reported that the budget failed to include $238,000 needed to meet salary schedules for faculty members in University the United Professionals (UUP), effective July 1. “If in fact we’re going into a reduction procedure, UUP definitions will have to be followed,” he said. Dr. Ketter later noted that the UUP essentially call for dismissals to be made on a “last guidelines first fired” basis. Ketter said that while the covers line-by-line budget expenses, it does not provide for the actual costs of running the hired — Dr, a reduction of 35 positions, including five extension and public service jobs, ten in student dormitory six services, administrators, eight faculty from the School of Nursing, and six unspecified positions. These cuts University. Across-the-board Dr. Ketter said he believed the SUNY budget was prepared by the State Division of the Budget, and that Governor Carey never actually specific studied allocations. He expressed towards Albany internal cuts resentment for making in library acquisitions and Nursing Faculty making one instead of across-the-board cut. If cuts have not to be made the University should be an outside agency allowed to trim programs according to its own priorities. “Previously, we have told them they are not capable of making this judgement,” Dr. Ketter went on, noting that last year’s budget necessitated cutting two School of Nursing faculty. This year they came and cut eight more.” The University will probably engage in constant have to negotiations with the Division of the Budget from now until April, — — Dr. Ketter asserted. “Its going to be very hairy before its over,” he said. He stressed, however, that there will be no great cutbacks in academics. Reductions in a variety of and programs non-academic services total $327,000. Dr. Ketter underscored the plight of the libraries, which he feels have been hit most severely by the cutbacks. Fight to wire “Its a matter principle I will fight which to on the wire,” he said, although conceding that final financial authority rests in Albany. The library’s one-third cut in the rate of acquiring new volumes would be “devastating” to the University and the many Western New Yorkers who use the may Univeristy libraries, and possibly be a “deathblow to quality education” here, claims Charles Osborn, Assistant Director for Collection Development. Mr. Osborn explained that the type of students and faculty a University attracts, as well as the number of fellowship grants it receives, depends on the quality of the libraries. Ph.D. programs, which depend heavily on research in a specific field, will certainly be placed in the University jeopardy as libraries deteriorate, Mr. Osborn asserted. A recent State Education Department report recommended the phasing out of four History department Ph.D. programs here. —continued on page 16— �Minority faculty —continued from page 1— announcing the opening. In an article in The Chronicle of Higher Education last year, Geraldin Rickman, associate professor at the University of Cincinnati said, “affirmative action, when seen through the eyes of the average academician, conjured up images of deteriorating standards and incapable personnel somehow wending their way into the ivory tower.” Reverse discrimination Seeking to respond to increasing people, but simply specifically designate jobs for members of a to hire less-qualified and minority candidates to wants female to put sex. The idea is certain race or equally with white males. women and blacks on an equal basis, be considered s according to Peter Holmes, head of HEW Colleges have increasingly complained civil rights division. that HEW did not sufficiently spell out Competition between minorities and what they must do to prove they have women may be a potential danger. There really sought out women and minorities, is no doubt that the black movement has especially when the schools do not achieve been subverted by the women’s movement, their hiring goals. and that the women’s movement has been Unhappy with the progress of given preference in higher education, Action, some minority and of Affirmative secretary Norton, Ezra associate asserts the American Association of University women’s groups including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Professors. Federal officials and leaders of blacks (EEOC), have turned to the courts. The and women’s groups have insisted that the EEOC, a federal agency, has the authority federal government has not forced colleges to investieate complaints of discrimination. ... pressures, colleges now face a major obstacle in helping women and minorities. They must try not to be unfair to those already employed or looking for jobs, thus avoiding charges of “reverse discrimination.” Critics of affirmative action object to quota systems because they fear employers might hire female and minority candidates who are not as well-qualified as the white male applicants. To guard against that possibility, HEW last month warned institutions of higher learning not to lower job standards, or ‘ Socialist urges new controls Michael Harrington, Chairman Democratic the Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC) and author of The Other America has called for the socialization of investment and national planning in the United States. Mr. Harrington told the DSOC National Convention on January 26 that the nation is in the midst of a crisis of the economic system of , so severe that even bankers are of the advocating “state planning economy.” “The issue is who will make the structural changes needed and how?” he said. “Will they come from the sophisticated corporate or from the democratic right left.” The DSOC is a 1500 member organization of labor leaders, working people, professionals, trade unionists, students, political activists, and young people who seek to establish a “socialist presence” within the Democratic Party and eventually bring about economic democracy in the U.S. and several other 4arrington of the DSOC were as delegates to the Democratic mini-convention in members elected Kansas City. The DSOC emphasizes that it will work within the Democratic Party, recently Village although Harrington run for President as a Mr. party third candidate. Harrington may enter a few presidential primaries where no liberal candidate is running, but the DSOC does not wish to splinter the Left and pave the way for a conservative or reactionary electoral victory. In a general platform statement which was approved by the Mr. delegates, Harrington called for massive deficit social spending for purposes to create full employment, national health care, drastic tax reforms to implement and taxation, progressive comprehensive energy policy. In describing the current crisis, convention he cited the Wall Street Journal's observation that oil price ijicreases are a threat only because of the economic “prior and present mismanagement by the Western governments themselves.” The massive tax breaks which the major oil companies receive from the Federal he Government, pointed out, have added up to big subsidies for big cars and the suburban middle and upper class. The Federal policy has helped to “destroy the railroads and mass transit, isolate the poor in rotting cities, and make us the most human in wasteful nation Pete Hamill recommended in a history.” Voice that Mr. Harrington also noted that article from 1969 to 1973, the Federal Government paid agri-business not to grow the equivalent of 8 billion bushels of wheat. “Our food shortage,” he said, “stems more the limitations from of corporate-oriented politics than from those imposed upon us by nature.” He blasted the idea that what is good for big business is good for the rest of the country. “Our energy and food disasters, created by precisely such a united front of business and government, are cases in point. As long as General Motors is one of our chief and energy transportation planners, Washington has got to be nice to it nicer than to auto workers who make the cars.” To restructure and rehabilitate the economy, Mr. Harrington recommended the following: Nationalize the major suppliers of the government, like Lockheed, which are already badly mismanaged and heavily subsidized by tax dollars. Nationalize the faltering corporations and banks instead of subsidizing them. When Franklin National Bank got into trouble, the Federal Reserve extended $1 billion in credits to it. Establish a national gas and oil corporation to develop new energy technology in the public interest. — — — — Place employee and public representatives on the boards of all major industrial and financial - corporations “with instructions to violate the canons of managerial secrecy and to inform the public of biased pricing, technology, plant location and other policies.” — Establish a national planning U.U.A..(B. mechanism to come up with a ten year plan for transportation and energy in the United States. Such would not be in the a plan interests of the public if it is enforced by economic planners who are “private profit-makers undemocratically designated by a vote of their own dollar bills.” Qtae JCrre Cilw Qxaamtet ' Friday, Feb. 7th FREE WOMAN Dir.

Circulation average: 14,000 Spectrum Staff Writer The Ellicott bus stop has been restored to its original location in the Core Road tunnel after a two-day move to the Gane Terrace. The order to switch back to Core Road was issued jointly by Paul Bacon, Assistant Vice President for Purchasing, and Albert Somit, Executive Vice President, following a determined campaign by the Inter-Residence Council (IRC). The first change took effect Monday morning when busriders found the coaches stopping at the Gane Terrace, an unsheltered area on the perimeter of the Ellicott Complex, rather than inside the protected Core Road tunnel. The primary reason for the change was “to attempt to better meet our schedules,” Dr. Bacon said, stressing that the buses were “subject to considerable delays by vehicles obstructing the Core Road.” This included trucks making deliveries, maintenance, service, construction and private vehicles. Protest launched The action outraged many students and that morning, IRC launched its protest by posting signs around Ellicott reading “Bitch about the bus stop.” The barrage of phone calls to President Robert Ketter’s office reportedly totaled over five hundred by 2 p.m. IRC President Leigh Weber also sent letters protesting the change to Dr. Bacon and Roger Frieday, who is in charge of bus scheduling. Mr. Weber maintained that the Gane Terrace would not be accessible to the majority of student users between 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. That location would force students to wait outdoors for extended periods of time without the protection of an enclosed shelter area. The extra walking distance to the Academic Core, Mr. Weber added, could cause students to be late for classes. Traffic cop Mr. Weber proposed that a paid watchman control traffic in and out of the tunnel, and that Campus Security ticket all unauthorized vehicles parked on Core Road. In response to the problems with the Core Road location, Campus Security issued a new directive prohibiting any vehicles, except those unloading their deliveries, to park in the tunnel. This new policy includes private vehicles, in addition to maintenance, service, construction and contractors’ vehicles. Lee Griffin, Assistant Director of Security, stressed that the new directive will be enforced and tickets will be issued. “It was with the assurance that Campus Security would keep the roads clear that the decision was reversed,” added Mr. Frieday. The Administration is allowing for a short trial period and if the new directive works, the bus stop will remain in the Core Road tunnel. Friday, 7 February 1975 The Spectrum .

The link will be jointly funded by Amtrak and NYSDT. Once approved, the project will take an estimated five years to complete, at a cost of $150 million. The train will follow the existing route, although some of the stops might be dropped or combined. It has not been determined exactly which stops these will be. the completed run will take an estimated 4-1/2 hours, just over half the time it now takes. The run used to take 7-1/2 hours, but the facilities have deteriorated over recent years. Instead of two departures daily, the completed rail link will run roughly once every three hours, with more frequent service over the more heavily travelled Albany-New York section. Step by step The Albany-New York section will be completed first, and the rest will be built in stages. The first trains will be running about two years after the state approves funding for the project. Amtrak is also working on a Boston-Chicago run, via Albany, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, and the WNY-Albany link, as ordered by the Secretary of Transportation. Because a two-mile stretch of abandoned track near Rennselaer was removed two years ago, the train must use an alternate roundabout route which detours freight tracks and hacks up 100 yards to the main line, creating a 45-minute delay. Because this is only a two-year experiment, Amtrak has decided to do without the direct link, which would cost an estimated $2-4 million. The entire Boston-Chicago run should take about 24 hours. Because of the poor condition of the track, the Boston-AIbany run takes about 5—6 hours, as opposed to 3-1/2—4 hours by bus or car.

The war continues Washington peace assembly Over two thousand WASHINGTON (LNS) anti-war activists representing a wide variety of groups, from 40 states in the U.S. and nine foreign countries gathered in Washington from January 25-27 for a three-day conference entitled “The Assembly to Save the Peace Agreement.” The Assembly was called to demand implementation of the 1973 Paris Peace Accords and to map a strategy to end all economic assistance to the regimes of Nguyen Van Thieu in Vietnam and Lon Nol in Cambodia. Organizers for the Assembly made a last minute shift to larger facilities when three times the number of people expected registered for the conference. Messages of support for the Assembly were received from the Provisional Revolutionary Government, Third Force and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. The conference, which coincided with the second anniversary of the January 27 signing of the Paris Peace Agreement, was held amidst widespread concern that the Ford administration was seeking ways to increase the U.S. military commitment to the Thieu and Lon Nol regimes. - Increase in aid On January 28, the Ford administration asked Congress to approve its request of a $522 million supplemental miltiary aid package to Indochina. Three hundred million of the request is slated to go to Saigon, $220 million to Cambodia. The request is in addition to the $700 million in military appropriations Congress approved for the two regimes in August. Administration officials said the governments in Saigon and Phnom Penh had already spent the $700 million allotted them for the entire fiscal year 1975 (which ends on June 30), and that unless the supplemental aid is granted, the two regimes face “disaster.” Gerald Ford justified his January 28 request by staling. “Recent events have made it dear that North Vietnam is again trying to impose a solution by torce. Once the insurgents realize that they cannot win by force of arms, 1 believe they will look to negotiations rather than American Friends Service Committee and an organizer of the Assembly said that even New York Times, Washington Post and Boston Globe reporters assigned to Saigon agreed that Saigon had consistently violated the Peace Accords while the PRG tended to abide by it. However, the reporters told Young that stories to this affect would “never get published.” “The question isn’t whether or not the Paris Peace Agreement will be implemented, but when,” Don Luce of the Clergy and Laity Concerned told the Assembly. Sooner or later the Thieu and Lon Nol regimes will be toppled, he said, “but it is up to the American people to determine whether it happens tomorrow or five years from now, after 500,000 more lives have been lost.” Over 177,000 Indochinese people have already lost their lives in the fighting since the signing of the Paris Agreement in 1973, Assembly organizers said. And according to the Senate Subcommittee on Refugees, 1.4 million refugees have been generated in South Vietnam alone since that time. U.S. assistance Stress was laid on the fact that only U.S. over $8.17 billion since 1973 economic assistance has allowed the Saigon and Phnom Penh regimes — - to exist The PRG charges the U.S. has supplied the with over 1.5 million tons of Saigon military war “The request is little more than a holding action," Don Luce of the Clergy and Laity Concerned told the conference. Luce said if Congress approves any supplemental aid in addition to the the August, last $700 approved million Administration would have achieved the purpose of having Congress approve an escalation in the war. pcrtooo)4 HESSE'S SPRAGUE presents MAX VON SYDOV DOMNQLC SAM>V n STEPPENWOLf co-starring PERRE CLEMENT1 CARLA ROMANEU) Based on the novel by HERMANN HESSE Music by GEORGE CRLNTZ Produced by MELVIN FISHMAN and RICHARD HERLAND Executive Producer PETER L SPRAGUE Written and Directed by FRED HANES_ r | | Mil DOLBY SYSTEM | GRANADA 833-130Q 1:15,3:15,5:15,7:30,9:45 3176 Mam Si "1 ] I _ LI ammunitions and bombs since the Paris Agreement and that the U.S. maintains nearly 25,000 military and technical advisors in South Vietnam. According to PRG reports, the U.S. Embassy in Saigon alone has a staff of 3,000 people, with many of these filling military capacities. While it seems probable that Congress will refuse to grant Ford the $522 million request. Assembly participants voiced a fear that Congress may settle for a compromise appropriation. Hubert Humphrey’s name came up repeatedly during the conference as the legislator who is attempting to work out a compromise acceptable to the administration. On January 27, a delegation of Minnesotians who were part of the Assembly’s effort to lobby on Capitol Hill, was told by Humphrey that it would be “irresponsible” for him to commit himself on how he would vote on Ford’s request. Twenty members of the delegation then seized his office and occupied it for seven hours despite Humphrey’s repeated threats to call the security guards.

Dinh Ba Thi said the U.S. has consistently violated clauses in the Paris Peace Accords, including those forbidding “all interference in The internal affairs of South Vietnam” (Article IV) and those that call for the withdrawal of all United States military personnel including technical advisors (Articles V and VII). Mr. Thi also reported that Mr. Thieu recently launched air operations against Laotian and Cambodian territory and is currently engaged in land-grabbing operations in Quang Nam and Thua Thien provinces. Several Third Force representatives (non-PRG South Vietnamese opposing the Thieu regime) present at the Assembly To Save The Peace Agreement in Washington backed up ‘he PRG statement, emphasizing that Thieu would never survive a democratic political settlement. DR ' Friday, 7 February 1975 . The Spectrum . Page five �Editorial TRB Outside interference On two occasions over the past few months, outside agencies have systematically attempted to interfere with the University's internal policies. In December, for example, a statewide committee recommended phasing out four doctoral history programs here because it felt the University did not have enough internationally-recognized scholars in Medieval, Latin American, Far Eastern and European history to advise students in these areas. Just this week, the state again stuck its nose into the University's affairs by slashing the number of library acquisitions and Nursing faculty, instead of making an across-the-board cut and allowing the University to decide for itself how best to distribute the remaining funds. That bureaucrats in Albany can even consider themselves knowledgable enough to determine this University's internal needs is incomprehensible. Even more disturbing is the attempt to take local autonomy away from the state universities and colleges. In the case of the Ph.D. evaluations, the statewide committee members were predominantly outside scholars and therefore incapable of being sympathetic to the internal pressures that this University's faculty are subjected to. Since there are already established procedures for externally evaluating the University's programs, the state's actions were at once flawed and repetitive. It is no surprise that Several other institutions that went through similar evaluations have voiced complaints. As far as this year's budget is concerned, the one-third cut in the acquisition of new library books certainly will have a "devastating" effect on education here. Dr. Ketter has stressed that there will be no great cutbacks in academics, but the quality of education is in fact directly proportional to the quality of the institution's libraries. Both graduate students and faculty who wish to engage in extensive research are more likely to be attracted to a University that has excellent research facilities, i.e., a quality library system. Had the State Bureau of the Budget made a more general cut, the University would probably have been able to distribute the limited monies in a way that would have prevented one or two areas from being scapegoated. And because of the direct relationship between a University's libraries and its Ph.D. programs, the library cutbacks could coupled with the criticsm of the Ph.D. programs place the Ph.D. programs in even greater jeopardy. - - The State Education Department and Board of Regents would be wise to use restraint in their attempts to establish a monolithic educational policy for every state college and university. For if they continue to meddle in affairs where they have no expertise, the ramifications of their actions will reflect that lack of expertise. The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. Friday, 7 February 1975 53 « Ever hear of Daniel D. Tompkins? Why, fie on you! He was vice president of the United States. He belonged to the same club Nelson Rockefeller has just joined though 1 don’t think his family stashed away a billion. Yes, Tompkins was the one-heartbeat-away man for President Monroe and it would have been the “Tompkins Doctrine,” I guess, if the heart had missed. Other members of the vice-presidential club besides Rockefeller are Richard M. Johnson, George M. Dallas and Henry Wilson remember them? If you feel rather blank, they coupled up respectively with Van Buren, Polk and Grant. I will throw in William M. Wheeler, Tom Hendricks, and Garret A. Hobart (Hayes, stout fellows, no doubt, Cleveland, McKinley) though you won’t find their profiles on Mount Rushmore. And so, after two tries for the Presidency and 15 years as governor of New York, Rocky has made it and is a member of the Daniel D. Tompkins Club. I am going to spend all the spare time I can get off in 1975 from wondering how the oil consuming countries are going to pay the oil producing countries, in wondering how Rocky works things out with — - Jerry. 1 have never known a new President who didn’t promise that this time the Vice President would be put to work?; yes, that this time the spare wheel of the Executive would be rotated. It has never happened, and Lyndon Johnson, a Veep, almost ate his heart out in frustration. When he came to be President he didn’t allow any decisions to poor Hubert Humphrey either. My judgment is that chances are extremely small that Rocky will be assigned any task comparable to his ambition and ability. Still it might happen; certainly rarely in history have personalities been so ready made for something of this sort. President Ford, for example, is the perfect congressional, organizational man, almost by definition a compromiser and placator; a Congressman who became leader because he didn’t rock the boat, knew first names and was genuine and friendly. There are 535 members of Congress and they all liked Jerry Ford. Can anything more damning be said about a President? Nelson Rockefeller wouldn’t have been chosen minority leader probably, he is too competitive; there is a kind of “hi-ya fella" elemental force about him that rouses people one an activist striving for way or another something important to do, for command, some job, corresponding to his ability, wealth and immense ambition. Under a parliamentary system Mr. Ford would make an almost ideal head of state; just the man to preside with his fine family at Windsor Castle, while some pushing politician ran the shop at 10 Downing Street. All the admirable traits in Mr, Ford were on display at his ski vacation in Vail, Colorado; where he embodied the better attributes of healthy, normal America out in below-zero weather, skimming the — — Editor-in-Chief — Larry slopes of new-fallen snow. It took our mind off our troubles... the secret service learning to ski I really don’t see how the papers could have got through the dull spot between Christmas and New Year’s without those Ford photographs from Vail, the winter wonderland. Here is a situation where a dynamic Vice President might actually play an important role. The relationships of the thing are all against it. There is the natural repugnance of the monarch for the heir-presumptive. There is the jealousy of the regular White House staff for the unattached interloper. There is the ambiguity of the job itself, suspended, as Clinton Rossiter wrote, “in a constitutional limbo between executive and legislature, and in a political limbo between obscurity and glory.” Woodrow Wilson declared in exasperation, “The chief embarrassment in discussing his office is, that in explaining how little there is to be said about it, one has evidently said all there is to say.” Vice Presidents normally “balance the ticket,” what else matters? “We never speak as we pass by, Me to Jim Blaine, nor him to I.” The doggerel is supposed to reflect the hostility between the “Plummed Knight” (James G. Blaine of Maine) and his running mate, Sen. John Logan of 111., who got second place on the GOP ticket in 1884. Nixon picked Spiro Agnew because he wanted somebody from the East, somebody who looked respectable, who would please ethnic groups, and also because the Constitution required a running mate. Agnew would be our President today if it hadn’t developed that he was a crook. We are amazingly casual about these things and the procedure almost automatically couples opposites. Wendell Wilkie had never met his runningmate, Sen. Charles McNary of Oregon till they were picked in 1940. Bryan was nominated in 1896 at 36, and that seemed pretty young; they fixed it by nominating a Maine banker, Arthur Sewall as running mate; he was 81. According to Mr. Ford’s press secretary, he has made “hard and tough” decisions about economy and energy which will be revealed in his State of the Union speech, January 20. But did Mr. Ford, or events, make the decisions? If you wait long enough, events make decisions for you. The nation seems almost pleading for the federal national energy to government impose conservation, and to cut taxes to spur the economy; all signs indicate that Mr. Ford has graciously yielded. Here is a situation where Rockefeller could play an important part. He knows his way around. He has had foreign experience. He has run New York, the most populous state. But the obstacles to putting him to work are great. Mr. Ford can control and fire his every day staff, but he can’t fire the vice president, who has tenure in the Daniel D. Tompkins Club. Rockefeller’s advice might be valuable but giving it requires exquisite tact, even to a man as seemingly uncomplicated as Mr. Ford. Recently Donald Rumsfield, former Illinois congressman, smart, vigorous and 42, has replaced General Haig as chief of staff. He is in a strategic spot. So Rockefeller’s role in a heartbreak job is problematical with history against him: in two centuries the office has been vacant 17 times and for about 37 years we had no vice president. We never knew the difference. Kraftowitz Managing Editor - Amy Dunkin Managing Editor Michael O'Neill — Ronnie Selk Asst. Layout . .

When I spoke to him about a film (Dark Towers ) he was making last year with Gene Hackman, he said, "Gene for a change." There is something very plays a cop deliberate and arch about a joke like that. And if Mars is where some semblance of that way in a private interview he is even more deliberate when spontaneity is expected he is acting on the screen. Since he is never quite as funny as you know he thinks he is, he, too, is at best only meticulous and sometimes amusing. Producers ) is like that Young Frankenstein doesn't depend upon having seen the original Frankenstein movie anymore than understanding that 1931 film depended upon having read Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's 1816 novel. The theme, story and even specific details of the iarly movie are so much a part of American mass cultureithat you'd almost have to be living . . . well, high atop a hill in a Transylvanian castle not to have absorbed a fair number of cliches associated with Frankenstein and lampooned in Young Frankenstein. Shelley's Frankenstein character has been the subject of over two dozen films and has been an incidental character or character-model in a shocking variety of other trash products and stories. In writing her novel, Shelley did, truly, create a Frankenstein monster. Two brains Despite the many Frankensteins haunting the culture, it is especially enlightening, I think, to consider Young Frankenstein's approach to the old horror films with particular reference to the approach director Paul Morrissey took toward the genre in his film of last year, Warhol's Frankenstein. Chances are that Mel Brooks did not have Morrissey's film in mind when he was directing Young Frankenstein , but still it happens that Brooks' film is the best answer I've seen to Morrissey's. It's as if Brooks had been slapped by Morrissey's glove, and Young Frankenstein is his acceptance of the duel. Their approaches to the same raw material are a study in contrast. Morrissey's method is to make the screen image as genuine as possible with an elaborate 3-D technique. His performers, while bizarre, never tip their hands. They are crazy, cartoonish, and yet grotesquely natural in their jarring environment. The actualization of cheapness and destruction are the two sides of the double-edged axe Morrissey has to grind. He perceives of the ugliness around even to him as deplorable, but he's learned to love it perversely prefer it. He's hooked on ruin. too. — — — — Lover With who plays Elizabeth there is a double level of awareness. Elizabeth knows she's sexy, tries to increase her sexiness by acting sexier, and therefore is not as attractive as she might have been, but she's funnier. Yet, Kahn is convinced that she's funny, tries to increase her comedic power by playing the role more broady, and therefore ends up not as funny or as bizarre as she might otherwise havy Madeline (Frankenstein's Kahn, fiancee) been. "wink" Not only do Brooks' Brooks makes other directorial choices that have similar effects. The brain Igor is supposed to steal for the monster's body is labeled "Genius, Scientist and Saint." When he accidentally ruins it, the brain he takes to replace Do Not Use This Brain" not it is labeled "Abnormal at the audience, but — subtle, but funny Other tricks Brooks' use of cinematic cliches like the opening shot of the house on the hill or the original, gratuitously elaborate laboratory equipment (salvaged directly from the 1931 film) are some other ways he "winks." Brooks even — he knows. ridiculed "Old last week was the abusively on campus Hollywood." imaginative Sunset Boulevard (directed by Billy Wilder whose style is similar to Brooks'). It was a more human version of Heat just as Brooks' Young Frankenstein is a more human Warhol's (Morrissey's) Frankenstein. Young Frankenstein, like Sunset Boulevard, takes a gentler approach to an old genre. Like Billy Wilder, Brooks In directing Young is a conventional parodist. Frankenstein, Brooks has his actors constantly "wink" or "play to" the audience as if to say, "Just kdding, folks!" Marty Feldman, who plays Dr. Frankenstein's deformed assistant (Igor), always has one eye on the audience. The real deformity, in fact, is Feldman's not the comic hunched back he feigns. His hypnotic eye like Brooks' wildness. It's not really wildness at wildness is it's not since it's so meticulously conceived all but hokey. It's clever, obvious and tame. His facial expressions he's aware of the camera. are like Daffy Duck's Kenneth Mars (the nutty Nazi in Brooks’ The - - - - Teamwork Wilder's lunacy appears so genuine he could easily have fit into the Morrissey film and he would have been the best, most interesting thing to watch in it, too. But Mel Brooks' conventional parody is a better vehicle for Wilder. Brooks' love and passion for the old films and his own project domesticate Wilder a little just as the love and passion of Dr. Frankenstein domesticate the film's monster. And, as it is with Dr. Frankenstein and his monster in Young Frankenstein, both parties gain. When the original Frankenstein film first appeared in 1931, the monster's identity was kept a secret. It was only later that his identity was revealed. Boris Karloff There's another surprise of the same nature in Young Frankenstein. Gene Hackman appears in the role of a blind man whom the monster meets and while Hackman gets a "credit," it's an unpublicized role and the credit appears only at the film's end. This is acute trick, but it should not obscure the stunning, engaging, gentle comedy brought to the role by Gene Hackman's total sense of the character. — - Walk this way scientists. This theme is initiated early in the film when Wilder does a brief demonstration (of involuntary reactions in the nervous system) for the students in his biology class. Wilder introduces the volunteer for the experiment (a Mr. Hilltop) as if the man were a stooge in a magician's act: "This is Mr. Hilltop," he says, "with whom I have never worked before and whom I have never seen before today." You expect Wilder to read his mind, not kick his groin. In this scene, Wilder is theatrical it calls for him to be aware of his audience. But the "audience" he shows that he is aware of is only the members of the biology class. Somehow even in this highly theatrical scene he never lets on he knows we're watching.

It's funny and it's sexy and fun to do and everything like that. And second, I've seen a lot of belly dancing through friends who study it in a school in San Francisco, and I've seen women doing it for each other, making it into a real women's dance, and I have also Robert Coe by Spectrum Arts Staff I looked all over for a woman willing to write this review for me; perhaps those of you who for whatever ideological reason Daniella Gioseffi's enjoyed — performance last Friday night in Baird Hall should stop reading now. When she strode on stage I felt in the presence of an elementary school teacher from Amazonia; had the simple-minded she swell-hearted girth and good nature of my fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Hutchinson. Daniel I a Gioseffi's poetry was all breast and buttocks and "jaw thrust forward like a pelvis," and I imagine she would have enjoyed it if Lois Lane had waited a couple of days to join her on the bill. Superwoman! It was wonderful to seen almost chaste belly dancing. Ms. Gioseffi's dancing seemed seductive without, to be explicitly however, managing to suggest anything to anybody I talked to. She said that she doesn't mean to be a prude about it (it is an erotic dance) but while I accept that she is neither a professional nor an electrifying dancer, and that she has a little trouble keeping beat, I think her problem was with the idea she had that she could convey what she meant in a solo see someone so happy. I used to sink when Mrs. Hutchinson read poetry, and I kept expecting Ms. Gioseffi to break intaCasey at the Bat. She is trying to be a female Walt Whitman, and is not. She is more a Don Quixote thinking she is Sancho Panza. Lumping Dante, Abraham Lincoln and John Logan did little to convince me of her insight, nor, more germanely, did performance. Perhaps credibility lose male, but I was as bored by her dancing as I would be by Amateur Night at a Topless Bar, and for the same reasons. I I am a Why didn't she dance in a bathing suit instead of wearing a gold Cleopatra brassiere? Is she still thinking of the harem? I am her comment that "men do not let women dream." I would have thought she would have said that that's all they've let them do. After the revolution A woman friend of mine pointed out that after the cultural revolution Ms. Gioseffi kept talking about, we would not see sexual as her come-on counter productive to the messages of liberation. But for now, it was tough to see how her dance was any different from the hootchy-koo, or that she really understood what she was putting across. Sexist? because did several of my male and female friends, it was the thought that this funny dance was suppose to return to women a part of their cultural heritage that did. Ms. Gioseffi stressed that women's talent for nurture and the domestic arts is societally defined, but that it should be appreciated anyway. She wants women to have the freedom to be active and honest about their sexuality, and she was certainly an active example in that direction. Perhaps Ms. Gioseffi should travel with a .troupe of belly dancers who could recreate what she wants. We read too much into her "birth mime connected with the idea of orgasm" to be able to take it seriously. You don't mime orgasm in a Little Egypt costume and get taken seriously.

That is odd. I would have liked a woman whose of presence was incapable concession, someone who's got her self and doesn't need phony erdticism at any point. Ms. Gioseffi's lecture about the belly dance as "the oldest dance" seemed contrived gimmickery. She sees the belly dance as a prehistoric Lamaze method, a fertility ritual that was originally a magical event for women and was by the gradually co-opted patriarchal society, etc. Sounds like good stuff, and many of us were interested going in, but what we saw seemed more accurately aimed at getting into Time lOR TOAST PLUS 2 COUNTRY; you like 'em.i JFRESH EGGS, as I magazine then in turning anyone’s head around. 3 Circus 95* 3300 SHERIDAN DRIVE fc In the first place, hip people r gw GOOD FOOD RESTAURANT Hong Kong Chicken with vegetable.

Prodigal Sup �'Mr. Ricco' Escapist Dino crimebuster made as television material by Randi Schnur Arts Editor Joe Ricco can't seem to do anything the right way. On the golf course, he knocks every ball and, glancing into the sand furtively around to make sure none of his clubmates notices, sends Hank, his dog, out to retrieve them all. Unable to squeeze even a drop of toothpaste out of his empty tube, he places it carefully on the bathroom floor and stamps on it, with no more — success that he had with his afternoon golf game. He can't even control the dog; the shocked neighbor commiserating with her pregnant pet seems ready to slap lecherous old Hank and his owner with a pair of paternity suits. Joe is, however, considered to be a terrific criminal lawyer. As the sister of a prospective client puts it, "You got Frankie Steele off on a charge of murdering a woman a white woman. You've got to be one of the best." But even here, in the field in which he is an acknowledged master, Joe has his problems. The day after he gets black militant Steele's case dismissed on the grounds of insufficient evidence, he is asked to defend one of the former and suspect's closest friends Frankie Steele is on the run again, wanted for the shooting of two — — Hear 0 Israel For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 — — San Francisco policeman.

And somebody is trying very hard to kill him. accessory to Tried and true Mr. Ricco is another average, fairly competent crimebuster melodrama, all done according to Hoyle. The rules of this particular game are well established: include a certain amount of blood, a little well-regulated sex, some more or less witty banter, a faintly quirky leading buster, and just enough excitement to sustain an hour and a half's worth of cellulois. The resulting products generally look as if they had been created for television, and have undoubtedly already found a couple of sponsors (as, indeed, have most American movies by the time they reach your neighborhood). Such films comprise the lightest form of escapist entertainment, demanding virtually no thought from anyone involved, and they can be a lot of fun if taken in small doses. They are often the last refuge of played-out actors looking for neatly constructed slots they can ease into with a minimum of effort Dean Martin, who occupies Joe Ricco's slot this time around, is a case in point. Martin's best-known his penchant for characteristic — staggering merrily through his roles, and very possibly the rest of his life, in a drunken stupor has finally turned his face into a — melancholy waterfall of sagging muscles. When drunk, he is as grotesque as any middle-aged alcoholic; but sober, as director Paul Bogart found him, he acquires a sad dignity he never had before, and the huge bags convincingly eyes under his contain the loneliness of a lawyer widowed, middle-aged with most of a city against him. He has never been more than a mediocre actor, but the role of who has ulcers and Ricco, attaches himself to a fortyish divorcee whose brains far outweight her beauty, makes Martin seem infinitely more interesting than his old easy-going, hard-drinking persona.

Tonight at 8:30 p.m. they will feature two very hot up and coming groups: Halls and Oates, and Orleans. in Orleans may well be the most versatile new group around more than one sense. First of all, they have a tendency to play musical chairs literally. They all play an average of five instruments. You don't see many acts where, after a few numbers, the drummer takes up the bass, the bass player sits down at the piano, the pianist grabs a guitar and the lead guitarist settles down behind the drums. This is more than a gimmick. It yields sounds as different as each individual — — personality. Although Orleans is only now beginning to get the attention it deserves, all the members are veterans of the stage and studio. John Hall, the lead guitarist (who with wife Johanna writes most of the group's material), has written scores for several plays, recorded two albums (apart from Orleans) and done studio work for everyone from Taj Mahal and Seals and Crofts to The Band and Bonnie Raitt (if you've heard her second album, you've heard, most of Orleans in action). Hall's most famous piece of work is probably "Half Moon," written and arranged for Janis Joplin. City of New Who? The other members have equally impressive track records. Drummer (most of the time) Wells Kelly and guitarist (among other things) Larry Hoppen were the founds of King Harvest (remember "Dancin' in the Moonlight?") as well as members of the Blues Magoos and Boffalongo, respectively. They've appeared on numerous other albums as back-up musicians. You're probably waiting for me to describe their sound now. I'm very reluctant to, because as you may have guessed by now, they do so many things so well that there is no one way to describe them. In their funky phases, they have those tight kicks and tasty lines that make The Band so irresistable. In mellow moods, their vocal harmonies are excellent.. Boogie-stompin', jazz-floaty, (here comes that cliche but I Can't help it) somehow they combine everything and come up with a new, refreshing, unique sound. Go hear 'em. It's the only way you'll know what I'm talking about. Prodigal Sun As Travison, Ricco's liberated (translate: she sleeps with his junior partner, but has her eye on Well, bozoes, Hall and Oates are two former Philly fellows who left W.C. Fields' least favorite city for the concrete pastures of the Big Apple. Their musical sensibilities find soaring expression in three albums. The first, Whole Oates is folk oriented, displaying the more fragile aspect of their musical explorations. The weakest of their three discs, it was nonetheless a portent of an emerging artistry which would refuse compromise and limitation. Next came the joyous Abandoned Luncheonette, an instant classic. Parading their Philly past. Hall and Oates produced a record that Gamble and Huff would be envious of. Perhaps the best known cut from that Ip is "She's Gone," which went utterly crazy on the soul charts. The appeal of Abandoned Luncheonette lies in a number of sparkling facets. The vocal interplay of Hall and Oates is stupendous, the songs are intelligent and melodic, and the musicianship, by the likes of drummer Bernard Purdie, is simply impeccable. If you don't have Abandoned Luncheonette in your possession, correct that oversight and buy it immediately. The delight if will bring will lighten up the grayest Buffalo days. Finally This brings us to the final chapter in the Hall and Oates saga and probably the most exciting. Desiring to capture a new sound reflecting their move to New York City, Daryl and John contacted whiz kid and mutant utopian Todd Rundgren to help them in their quest for a total music that they dubbed "city rock." With Todd producing and rendering sizzling assists. Hall and Oates forged new frontiers and gave birth to War Babies. Their latest must be heard to be believed. It is hands down one of the top five albums of 1974, a smoking synthesis of vocal pyrotechnics and electrical energy welded together by Todd's production genius and Hall and Oates' top-notch material and performing brilliance. Daryl and John are answering the grumblings and complaints of those discontent with much of contemporary rock. They will blow you away with the possibilities of rock and roll's future. Pluck down your measly three beans and lend a listen to a musical education. It all happens at Clark Gym tonight and it guarantees to be the cookingest February 7 in memory. C.P.

Page nine �Panic Theatre Good-time musical shows Panic Theatre, a unique theatre group and social organization, has been in existence on this campus for three years. From its inception as a Goodyear House Council production of Once Upon A Mattress, the theatre has branched out to include the entire university community. (Its name derives from a comic song from the show The Spanish Panic.) The theatre is currently in the first of six weeks of intense preparation for a spring musical, How Now, Dow Jones. Performances are tentatively scheduled for the first weekend in April, in the hope that by then a stage will be secured at no cost to the group, as in the past. The theatre is a club run by a executive committee, and its budget comes primarily from Student Assembly, although I.R.C. contributes extra funds occasionally. The cast also sells "boosters" advertisements for the show's program and a hat is always passed after the show. democratically-elected — Ambitious amateurs Scott Feigelstein, the club's president, defines the theatre as "an organization for non-music and non-theatre majors, primarily to give those people who've not had the opportunity to participate in musical theatre, a chance to do so."

But How Now. . . had already been discovered last semester Mart Susi, the director, explains: "We dug out songbooks and records and locked ourselves up in a room on the third floor of Norton and went at it, and when we were listening to How Now . . everyone started dancing around the room ecstatically." ., Because of insufficient male talents to fill the roles at that time, the play was postponed until now.

Proto-pro The goal of all the production staff, according to Scott Feigelstein, "is to raise Panic Theatre's standard of performance up to as professional a level as is humanly possible," and to allow "participants in the production and in the audience to have a How was How Now, Dow Jones selected?

But her freedom is defined entirely in terms of these men, created and exploited by them. A Free Woman, playing in the Norton Hall Conference Theatre tonight, is writer-director Volker Schlondorff's and writer-actress Margarethe von Trotta's film record of Elizabeth's doomed, circular search for the self. Billed as "a sad comedy," it is a comedy of the absurd, for her situation exemplifies an absurd social system; and her near-helplessness in her world of men makes it part tragedy as well. It is also a gentle, lovely portrait of a woman who senses that there is something more to be had from life than she's already found but she'll be damned if she knows where to look for it. . — — Cries and Whispers From Sweden comes director Ingmar Bergman's gorgeous film. Cries and Whispers which will be playing in the Conference Theatre tomorrow and Sunday. Cries and Whispers is a collage of moods and relationships, feelings and thoughts. A tightly-knit storyline submerges frequently while episodic flashbacks twist through the story's pattern. Maria (played by Liv Ullmann) is wicked and beautiful. She tries to rekindle a love affair with a stuffy-looking doctor who is treating her sister (Harriet Anderson). A stark triumvirate of hues rules the film: red against white, giving way to black. Every scene in the movie can be considered in terms of these three colors. Crimson blood is shed on white fabric. Ruby wine spills on bleached tablecloths. Women in white stroll about a house with red walls and carpets. They change into black dresses for a funeral. Even the credits, in red and white, suggest some of the film's visual beauty. rw Mk VV -MW -MW H AMERICAN GRAFFITI U � � � Saturday Nite � � � I Ellicott Fillmore 170 7:00 Goodyear Cafeteria 9:30 - Saul Elkin directing George Garcia and Sarah Wallens in a rehersal of Apple Pie.

This formalism pits line against line, color against color, texture against form, creating a unified whole in perpetual tension. Dominating the contemporary art scene since the forties, though it had its opening performance in the early 1900's in the work of Kadinsky, this relationship has permeated the work of both world-known and local artists, producing works of greatness and mediocrity. Such a mixed conglomeration of formalistic works photo-realist vogue, Gibson's works explore the tensions that result within the confrontation of a very realistic, three-dimensional interpretation and the inherently abstract two-dimensional picture plane. Upon seeing the works, the viewer registers the illusion of sheets of paper and packaging tape, but because of the imposition of a close viewpoint and Gibson's mastery of formal elements, the subject is taken out of normal context and an abstract pattern emerges. Thus, spatial depth and flatness alternate with shadows, creases and highlights transforming into lyrical abstract shapes. Ben Gibson reveals his fine craftmanship and color sensitivity in these works. And although they are very similar to photo-realist Stephen Posen in concept, they differ in their lyrical and atmospheric spirit. Geometry vs. brushwork Spatial tensions are also intrinsic to the large impressive paintings of James Allen, where geometric structures wage war with free individualistic brushwork. Totally abstract, a dialogue is created between flatness and spatial depth, geometry and free form, in a "push and pull" of pictorial elements. Allen goes beyond abstract expressionist Hans Hoffman who originally formulated the "push and pull" principle. Instead of individual elements reacting with one another, the entire plane works as a cohesive whole. The viewer is directed to grasping the whole, rather than examining individual relations within Rosary presents itself to the viewer in "Selected Works: Hill College Art Faculty" now on view in the Member's Gallery at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery until February 16. In this exhibit, six individual artists reflect the different styles, sensibilities and concerns within the broad range of formalism. Conflict of illusion Very crisp, sharp forms confront the viewed with a photographic realism and yet, at the same time, retain their abstract nature in the works of Ben Gibson. Of the the pictorial plane. Even Allen's prints reveal an interplay between geometry and free form, though it is toned down by the often humorous subject matter. James Allen's works are well worth the viewer's time and are a fine tribute to the intellectual nature of art. Down with drips Unfortunately, Stephen Clippenger's and David Barraclough's works, which also deal with an interplay between an underlying geometric structure and free forms, don't even begin to approach the timeless limbo that Allen's work does. They verge on what has become a standard abstract expressionist pasttime: playing with especially the greens drips. Though his colors are rich Clippenger fails to create a forceful work of interaction in Page twelve The Spectrum . Friday, 7 February 1975 . — — the majority of the works presented. Where collage and pencil is utilized with paint, a tension begins to emerge, marking those areas as the most successful. Barraclough uses an underlying grid structure marked in pencil upon which garist strokes of color diagonally fly across, often forming cross patterns.

Vet, the series tends to be too repetitious without any sign of development and the show-card colors combined with the landscape motif pushes the works into the category of decoration. Transcending any specific art movement, the very individual works of James Kuo delight the viewer with their poetry. Underlying the basic formal interactions there is a spiritual wholeness and unity which gives the works their lyrical quality. A strong organic energy pervades amongst the definitive brushwork in "New Era" and rich earthy tones containing much depth contribute to the poetry of "Vista" and "Composition No. 3." Kuo's work embodies the elemental forces of nature and life, and in so doing communicates to the inner spirit of the viewer and transcends time as art should. Prodigal Sun �Our Weekly Reader WHITEWALL TIRE SALE Mobil Cushion 78 Jaws by Peter Benchley (Bantam Books, paper) Medium cars $27.00 Small cars $25.00 Large cars In the past few years the publishing industry has inundated with novels dealing with the supernatural events which terrorize unknown families and communities. Writers had seemingly discovered a previously untouched vein which they proceeded to tap again and again until the public could take no more. Jaws is a novel which attempts to shock and terrify, in this instance without the supernatural aspect. At this it fails dully. In the opening chapter Christine Watkins, a twentyish drifter, goes for a midnight swim after making love on the beach. As her drunken companion lies sleeping on the sand, unaware of the danger the girl is in, she is attacked by a killer shark and savagely torn to pieces. The description of this first attack is chillingly realistic, horrifyingly accurate. The reader is offered here a portion of fish almost too big to swallow. $31.00 been I saraflsiOjKR z RE — LARRYS SERVICE CENTER 2194 Millersport at North Forest - Getsville, New York - 688-9844 N.Y.S.

Of course, the shark strikes again, taking two more victims. When Brody ultimately does prohibit use of the beaches it is too late; he has become everyone's scapegoat. From this point, the action of the novel is far too predictable. Brody's wife, Ellen, tired and bored with her middle-class life, longs for the carefree and affluent existence she had before she married. So, when a handsome young icthyologist arrives to study Carcharodon carcharias and turns out to be the younger brother of a boy she dated years earlier, the outcome is evident. Peter Benchley's first novel can not possibly sustain the suspense and'excitement of the first few pages. By the third killing, one tends to react as he might to televised violence.

First time in 'A suspense to strong I wat unable to pot it down.’ - In these times when harsh realism is prevalent in the arts, it is comforting to know that in the paperback section of your bookstore you can find a novel like Ararat, that completely envelopes you in the ups and downs of its fictional characters. Ararat by Elgin Groseclose was extremely successful when it first appeared in hardcover form in 1939 and was on the best seller lists for months. It received three major literary awards: The National Book Award, The American Booksellers Award, and The Foundation for Literature Award. After 30 years Pocket Books has decided to release this book again in paperback form. Written before World War II, Ararat lacks the cynicism of many post war novels. It is a novel of simplistic beauty, sheer and deep delight FESTIVAL AND of newcomer, intended it that Winner of the National Book Award, Award, rite American and the Foundation for literature Award spiritualistic meaning. Ararat deals with the persecution and the nationalistic desires of the Armenians of Turkey and Russia during the years 1895 and 1918, reflecting the suffering, yearning and despair of a people without a homeland. Caught in events which these people cannot control, they are swept from province to province in search of a place to live. However, by the end of the novel it is not only the Armenians who find their world upside down. The Russian Revolution displaces all social structure and the Russian aristrocracy is thrown into chaos. There is a touch of irony here because in this situation, the peasants adapt to their new situations better than the nobles because of their experience. Groseclose uses this social disorder to insert philosophical problems. Questions such as: "What is man's purpose in life?," "What is the meaning of life?" and "How significant is life?" are all raised and answered in this novel. Ararat's dialogue is excellently written, concise where it should be, lengthy when it is needed. I could easily see this book transformed into a screenplay. There is an American priest, Amos Lyle, who acts as spiritual and political leader of a group of Turkish Armenians. Charlton Heston would be excellent as this unyielding religious man. Sophia Loren would be perfect as the beautiful Persian Girl Sirani, who runs an orphanage with Lyle. Ararat will cause you to experience the whole spectrum of emotions, from love to hate, tear and sadness. You might even shed a tear over this exceptionally moving novel. I haven't read as invigorating a novel as Ararat in quite a long time and I strongly recommend it for those who would like to get lost in its charm for a few hours. —Robert Topaz Friday, 7 February 1975 .

Bob Dylan Blood on the Tracks (Columbia) "You're an idiot babe It's a wonder you still know how to breathe. A man's worth can best be measured by the greatness he inspires in others. For years Bob Dylan inspired us with his dystopian juxtaposition of outrage and imagination. And now, at 35, Dylan is angry again. But the man is no longer lashing out at the warmongers and politicians. Instead, more than a decade after first telling us, "I've " got nothing to live up to anymore," Dylan is shouting viciously at those who wrongly idolized him, that indeed he's got nothing to live up to anymore. Blood on the Tracks is not a great album. The initial cuts on both sides suck, and a touch of self-pity and banality permeates some of the love/hate lyrics on this album. But Dylan does make a significant contribution here, nevertheless, with his particular ability to make us feel and laugh and cry. Skip down to "Idiot Wind," the fourth song on side one, and immerse yourself in the complex anger of Robert Zimmerman. Dylan reached deep into his psyche for this cut, and he comes up fighting all the con men and conditioners. It is an important and painful lesson for we who face the frustrations of the "Idiot Wind" day after day. Stopping in Dallas last night, I saw a disgusting but classic example of the idiot wind: a postcard highlighting John Kennedy's assassination. How can people put fucking death on a postcard like it was a baseball card depicting a famous world series game? And I can remember the idiot wind strangling people in Buffalo, so that everything they said was guarded, and everything they did was one last communion upon us"), she sings of Jesus when we know all she cares about is adding another In the span of her career, Barbra Streisand has bouncy number to her repertoire.

Recall the noble efforts by Ron Wood or Bill Wyman? Well, it's a new year, but the pattern may already be repeating itself. Now trying his hand against Pretty Things Silk Torpedo (Swan Song) Lady Luck is Joe Vitale, Joe Walsh's barn stormin' drummer. Let out On David Bowie's Pin Ups Ip (a collection of his to pasture, he has certainly come up with a few surprises. favorite tunes from the mid-sixties period in Vitale, however, has not made a clean break. He still plays for Joe London), two tracks were songs written by the Walsh. Yet with "talent" like his and support from the family he may Pretty Things. The Pretty Things concept album S.E. hit the big time, perhaps even the Fillmore East. But seriously, this Sorrow predated Tommy and was supposedly an little disc has a charm of its own. It's not great, but it sure is pretty. Roller Coaster Weekend Is nothing like any of the old James Gang Ips. The songs are a cross between Joe Walsh and Rick Derringer. Consequently, both these guitar masters slide and jive throughout the album. A little strange? So what! When Walsh gets a strummin' and Derringer a slidin', your foot starts a stompin' with your ears a buzzin'. It's really nice. But all that glitters is not gold and this Ip is no exception. Vitale's pix on the cover resembles Mickey Dolenz of the Monkees. And if that doesn't make you wonder, just think about the title a while. It all adds up to this album being chock full of hyped up bubble gum rock. Gee whiz! Watch out Donny Osmond, 'cause Joe Vitale's coming. The first cut, "Roller Coaster Weekend," is a teeny hopper's theme song. A funky little number about soda pop, good times and going steady; it's a great opener. A crow bar and tin snips keep time, while two undiscovered artists synchronize hand claps. You have to hear it to carefully — — — — believe it. The All American Boy also gets his thumb in the pie with "Mad Man." This song fits Derringer's hard driving image and his guitar work is fabulous. He gets back to basic rhythms and you can picture him romping around, doing his stuff. And Vitale even does a little flute melody that adds some sparkle to the heavy tempo. This song should certainly soar to the Top 40. Roller Coaster Weekend, however is not a dream come true. Although the album is refreshing, it is loosely produced. The songs are cut, but far from perfect you can pick out each player doing his own thing on almost every cut. If the members played more as a unit, it would make a big difference. Vitale should really stick to his drumming and leave the vocals for someone who can sing. The lyrics are precious on cuts like "School Yard Is there lack of rock 'n roll What could be wrong, / don'tknow Is there lack of rock 'n roll. Ah rock 'n mill So if you want to slap something on your stereo to bop around to, try Roller Coaster Weekend. I still think you'll enjoy it. Sue Wos — " — Page fourteen . The Spectrum . Friday .7 February -1975 , one) is without a doubt the dedication song to Jon, One sees her looking in his direction with loving tenderness as he sits in the sound booth. Like all the others, it is too stylized to come off. Barbra also tries on David Bowie's "Life On Mars," a 1970's glitter-child piece, but there's really nothing more than a lot of fancy mixing and echo chambers galore. "Since I Don't Have You" is supposed to show how a 1950's grease piece can be made into a serious ballad. Unlike her work on "Happy Days," she will not be called on to sing this one. It's forgettable and quite unexciting. "Love in the Afternoon" is my favorite. Although the lyrics are silly, there is an airiness in the way it's sung and a breezy feeling of an afternoon in May. "Crying Time" is Barbra's country western tune (her harmonies are appropriately handled, but overall it's trite) and "Let the Good Times Roll" falls flat. Essentially, the sincerity is gone and just the vocal qiachinery remains. In Butterfly there's the feeling that she's just doing a job and has forgotten —Ron Sandberg about the process of creating. After listening to Silk Torpedo, it is apparent that the Pretty Things are for real. While they might be a bit overhyped they still deliver the goods and acquit themselves quite handsomely. The band's chief asset is its ability to render driving rock thunder in a tasty and palatable form. Whereas just heavy-handed heavy metalists like BTO bludgeon the listener to death with monotonous repetition, the Pretty Things encase their rock and roll with fine vocals and a full understanding of how to gain maximum mileage from their material. Phil May screams, hems and haws and groans, yet manages to sound perfectly spontaneous belting out the lyrics. While May eloquently stammers and slurs, the remainder of the group's vocal work offsets May's turbulent and frenzied lyrical approach with a lilting and sweet quality. This creates a contrast that permits the music to convey a strong urgency neatly underscored by an emotional fragility and ambivalence. The usual massive doses of ennui generally associated with much hard rock are bypassed. Instead of a simplistic one-dimensionality, the Pretty Things inject a dash of complexity and cleverness to produce a diverting variation on a theme. Their last Ip, Freeway Madness, contained some charming parodies of the Beatles and the Stones that succeeded on their own terms as well. Silk Torpedo, released on Zeppelin's Swan Song label, shows the Pretty Things continuing the good time evidenced on Freeway Madness. From the lush strings and carnival horns of "Is It Only Love” to the furious, explosive charge of "Singapore Silk Torpedo" they exercise their command of the rock idiom. They seem equally at ease with a sentimental ballad or a gin-spiked rocker; their eclectic repertoire smiles influence on Pete Townshend in creating the Who's milestone rock opera. For a group to inhabit the fickle rock scene and to keep an almost nonexistent profile on this side of the Atlantic is an astonishing feat in itself. Their following here has consisted mainly of esoteric anglophiles with a cultish predisposition. Pretty Things was also an influence on the likes of the sweetly. Stones and Led Zeppelin. What can be made of all Silk Torpedo isn't a masterpiece but it is slick, this? A steaming pile of hype and public relations credible and pleasing. Silk Torpedo is too close to a bullshit or a fine band that has toiled too long in direct hit not to warrant a salvo of justly deserved obscurity? merest -C.P Park as Prodigal Sun �Brand ofpropaganda To the Editor.

That Mr. Krebhiel mentioned a secret Israeli attack upon the Egyptian air base in 1967, while failing to mention that this attack was prompted by Egypt’s blockade of Israel’s Gulf of Aquaba. In his letter last Wednesday, he mentioned my contentions, and rather than attempting to refute them he proceeded to accuse me of being one-sided in failing to deal with the problems of the Palestinian people in my letter. My response is that my intention was not to write an exhaustive essay on the Middle East; I was merely trying to point out that his article was a great deal less than honest in his condemnation of Zionism in general, and Israel in particular. He dealt quite adequately with the problems of the Palestinian people in his article. In his letter he makes still more reckless charges. He speaks of the “displacement of thousands of is JC: May I be of help? G: You can help.us just fine, Beardo, if you stay out of the way. JC: The elderly woman seems to have collapsed.

Listen, Beardo, if you machine spurt Palestinians from their traditional homeland upon creation of the State of Israel.” He refuses to mention, however, that this displacement occurred because these Palestinians chose to leave Palestine in 1948 when a horde of Arab nations sought to destroy the infant state of Israel. Those Palestinians who did not leave retain their homes and many rights they never had under the British mandate. Next, he speaks of “the continual expansion of Israel by annexing territory from neighboring states,” while omitting the fact that each territorial expansion has been the result of acts of aggression on the part of Israel’s neighbors. Thirdly, he cites “scores of authors” and a biographer of Ben Gurion to prove the existence of “racialist” (?) theories of Zionism. There have been hundreds of authors on Zionism, all of whom do not consider it a “racialist philosophy.” To understand Zionism it is necessary to examine its roots in the suffering of the European ghetto, and the slaughter of six million human beings by Nazi Germany, a task Mr. Krebhiel obviously has no taste for. Finally, Mr. Krebhiel construes the United Nations vote granting the P.L.O. observer status as a recognition by a majority of people and nations around the world of the justice of the P.L.O.’s cause. Really, Mr. Krebhiel, is it possible that you have never heard of oil? There is only one honest reality present in Mr. Krebhiel’s writing, and that is the reality of human suffering. Yes, Mr. Krebhiel, the Palestinian people are suffering, as well as the Israelis, as well as the Arab people in general. This suffering can only be alleviated when each side can cut through enough rhetoric, to begin to see the other side’s point of view. It will never be alleviated by your brand of Jesus you’re invited to the church picnic this afternoon, provided you leave your donkey behind. G: He’s crapped on the sidewalk, Andy!

Joy Clark’s report on the women’s a basketball team’s loss to Buffalo State shows women attempting to compete rather than watch. The recent and rapid growth of women’s athletics is clearly related to women’s liberation and the new freedom of women to explore opportunities in all aspects of life. David Rubin’s feature story on cheerleading, on the other hand, presents a more traditional example of women’s involvement in athletics. Cheerleading is a supportive role, one which presents women in a manner that is physically appealing. It continues to be accepted as an athletic extension of “girl watching.” Some forms of athletic participation, like tennis, swimming and gymnastics, have been accepted for femal participation due partly to the fact that they also display the feminine physique in an appealing manner. There’s nothing particularly attractive about a woman playing basketball. Of course, there is nothing particuarly attractive about a man playing basketball either. However, it was only recently that society came to realize that both sexes have an equal right to this and other sports. But some men still haven’t conceded this point yet. In this day and age, particularly at this mstitution, cheerleading is an anachronism. The skirts are straight out of the fifties and the chants are corny. One might even say it is childish. But that Sports is an area that need be taken seriously only by the pa/ticipants themselves. The rest of us, the spectators and even sportswriters, can appreciate it for the fantasy world that it is. Why shouldn’t this fantasy include something unreal like pretty girls screaming inane cheers? The girls cheer simply because they’re having fun. In our complex society, with so precious few ways left to really have fun, acting like a kid every now and then should be encouraged rather than discouraged.

In other words, the University would only be able to buy 62 percent of the books in 1975-76 Getting back to the original paradox, what we that it would have been able to have here is a case of conflicting stigmas. Girls that in 1974-75. buy want to play are branded by men who don’t think “For a University with 55 should. Women who they want to cheer are branded Ph.D. programs, this just will not by other women who feel it is degrading. True to back up the freedom for women will only come when each allow for resources Mr. program,” Osborn said. woman can do whatever she wants, play or cheer or A University study comparing both, without fear of criticism. state universities across the Keep cheering girls. country shows that while this University’s 55 Ph.D. programs are far below the average of 78, the total number of volumes here 1,482,902 is also well below the average total of 3,417,261 volumes at the other schools. Similarly, the 14,162 current periodical subsriptions is lower than the 46,504 average of the comparison group. A comparison of Universities which have collections nearly the same size as this school’s reveals that the average number of Ph.D. programs is 42, thirteen fewer - — — than exist here A comparison of Universities with nearly the same number of Ph.D. programs (an average of 55) reveals that the average number of total volumes is 1,852,009, nearly 401),000 books more, on the average, than at this University. The average number of current periodical subscriptions (23,496) is also well above the number here (14,162). The University’s location in Western New York, where there are “no other large libraries to cooperate with,” also presents problems, Mr. Osborn pointed out. The large Health Science departments here, along with an expanding Law Library, significantly increase the total number of volumes and pose similar obstacles at budget time. Although the 1.5 million volume coliection here,does not compare favorably with similar schools across the country, it is the largest in the SUNY system. Dr. Ketter indicated that this may have been part of the reason for the budget cuts. “We library 20.000 sought to increase our acquisition figure by volumes. They not only didn’t give us what we asked for, but they asked us to reduce our acquisition figure by another 20.000 volumes,” Dr. Ketter said. The University will request thaU $304,000 be restored to the budget for the acquisition of the 20.000 volumes and an nine percent inflation $130,000.

Rubin Spectrum support.” Staff Writer Back in the fifties, when breasts and brawn were more important than books and brains on the high school scene, it was expected that cheerleaders would be escorted by football players on Saturday nights. During the day, they would cheer on their beaus with screams of “Beat ’em, bust ’em, that’s our custom.” However, now that women are fighting for an equal place in society, cheerleading to be appears something of an anachronism. Football, is gone at this University and the girls no longer cheer for basketball. But Buffalo does have cheerleaders in two sports wrestling and hockey; and their chants have been updated to fit the times. “Roll him over, pin him flat. Fight! Fight! Fight!,” and “Set it up, put it in.” - It appears that Young and Reis are as devoted to their cheerleading as they claim. The wrestling cheerleaders have sold candy and have collected enough contributions to buy uniforms. They travel at their own expense to many away meets. The hockey cheerleaders managed to secure $100 from the Student Association (SA) to cover uniforms, but they had no funds to pay for practice time on the ice. Undaunted, they resigned themselves to the bleachers until hockey button and shirt sales along with a sizable contribution from Father Fischer and the Newman Center put them on the ice. If the girls followed the trend of the seventies, they would be scoring their own goals on a women’s field hockey team instead of cheering for players like Mike Klym and Doug Bowman. Same motivation Despite this massive facelift of school sports, cheerleading at Buffalo has learned to adapt to new surroundings with relatively few changes. The skirts are still short and the hand motions remain the same. More importantly, the motivation behind the hoarse throats really hasn’t changed either. “We aim to get the crowd screaming,” said Judi Young, captain of the wrestling cheerleaders. Dee Reis, Young’s hockey counterpart added, “We try to get more The art of ogling When the hockey cheerleaders skate out during intermission, fans do more ogling than listening, another apparent conflict with the goals of most women today. Elizabeth Kennedy, assistant professor of American Studies and member of Women’s Studies College, said: “There’s nO need to excite people through the use of beauty objects. Cheerleading is a bad use of women. “1 think a lot of women do it because we all do dehumanizing things,” Dr. added, that predicting Kennedy cheerleading will change radically as society adjusts to the changing roles of relieved when we walked in late. They know we’re always going to be there.” women The cheerleaders, on the other hand, do not feel demeaned. “You get it [ogling] all the time,” Reis commented, “but it’s not part of what 1 do.” “In a way, 1 think it’s complimentary,” added Young. “I know that they [the wrestlers) enjoy having us. When we were in Oswego, the guys were Not dehumanized Young, Reis and their cohorts enjoy cheerleading and do not feel that they are dehumanizing themselves. Of course, their minds are open to change. Asked her reaction to having men on the squad, Reis replied, “Okay, if they can help us. They don’t have to wear the skirts, though.” Statistics box Poor rebounding Women cagers bow 41 39 by Joy Clark Staff Writer rebounding fell apart. The Bengals took advantage of their size, forcing jump balls with players second half There In its best game this season, the much shorter than themselves. Even with all this against them, “the girls really never let up,” said Barone. The lead didn’t change hands until there were only 51 seconds left. in the game, especially when Clyde O’Malley got hit with three controversial traveling violations in the last eight minutes. “Both coaches thought the officiating took away game,” declared from the Thomas. Star center Ann Trapper will have the cast removed from her fractured ankle February 19 but, until then, Thomas must adjust to a team without a “big man.” “We have to find a combination that can handle the rebounding,” she said, “and move more to the outside shot.” Spectrum women’s 'basketball team dominated most of the contest last Tuesday night before losing to Buffalo State, 41-39. Led by junior Pat Dolan’s 10 rebounds, the Bulls took control of the boards in the first half against the bigger, stronger Bengal squad. Chris Barone made some flashy steals and long outside shots, helping Buffalo to 17-13 half-time lead. made some adjustments under the boards in the second half, and the Bulls’ Buffalo Thomas was about the team’s happy performance, despite the loss. “I was much more pleased with our passing game and the movement on the floor,” she commented.

With the exception of the State University at Buffalo, all SUNY campuses have decided to postpone the referendum. “We felt there is a need to get student feedback on these important issues,” said Michele Smith, Student Association (SA) national affairs coordinator. “We are voting on the constitution reforms anyway, and this will be a good chance to get further input,” she explained. The mandatory status of the activity fee on each campus is to determined every four years by referendum, according tp the. be University Mandatory Fee Guidelines. The postponement was State by the Chancellor’s University-wide Task Force recommended first on Student Activity Fees. The task force concluded that a one year postponement would also allow students to vote on any revision of the policy on student activity fees which may result from its forthcoming report. The task force is currently reviewing the method by which activity fee-supported programs and activities are funded. Possibilities for obtaining other methods of funding are also consideration. Group is studying bill of rights for students A committee formed to develop a student bill of rights is presently gathering ideas for an initial draft later this month. Under the direction of Ron Stein, associate director of the Office of Student Affairs, the committee will use an American Bar Association model for student rights as a guide. Investigations have also probed the particular needs of interest groups and the relevance of existing student rights. In addition to Dr. Stein, the committee includes Hilary Lowell, Student Association (SA) Student Rights George Boger, Coordinator, Graduate Student Association Student Rights ( G S A ) Coordinator, Sharon O’Farrell, Student Rights Coordinator for Millard Fillmore College; Ron Doleman, Asst, to the Director of Student Affairs; and Bob Burrick, a student who is working on the project for independent study credit. Each member is examining the specific needs of his departments and compiling data on such areas as academic rights, resident rights, discipline, graduate student rights, the rights of student organizations! and the general constitutional rights to petition, speech, press and assembly. Inquiry Mr. Burrick has been inquiring into several existing bills of rights at colleges throughout the country.

The committee will meet Feb. 18 to make the first rough draft. Once the bill has been finalized by the committee, it will be submitted to the various student organizations for their approval. SA MINORITY AFFAIRS BLACK STUDENT UNION present LOUIS FARRAKHAN Sub-Board and a member of the FSA Board of Directors, to increase faculty and student representation on the FSA general membership.

However Dr. Ketter indicated he would support altering the FSA for “legitimate reasons.” on the Board, which is currently elected from the Sincere fears Mr. Hochman explained that the motion, which membership. a Student an amendment to the FSA by-laws, only stipulates is In' addition, FSA approved membership. But Mr. Association (SA) recommendation giving the Board changes in the corporation’s of Directors authority to increase the size of the Board: After presenting his proposal, Mr. Hochman was informed by FSA Secretary Charles Balkin that the motion could not be brought to a binding vote because Mr. Hochman had changed some wording in the original proposal. Mr. Balkin noted that the newly worded motion would have to be presented to the members at least ten days before any vote, according to FSA by-laws. Irresponsible FSA members agreed to discuss the recommendation anyway, however, and allowed a “straw vote” to give Mr. Hochman some indication of their feelings about the proposal. The straw vote was inconclusive and the matter will be brought up at the next meeting within two weeks. Mr. Hochman argued that increased student representation was important because the professional schools at the University Law, Dental, and Medical have no influence in FSA operations. If faculty and students determine that a particular policy should be enacted, the administration presently can unilaterally block any action, he - .u- on? explained. Ed Doty, vice-president for Operations and Systems and FSA treasurer, a steady opponent of increased student influence, indicated that students and faculty are not responsible enough to run FSA efficiently. Years ago, he said, a student and faculty-operated FSA Board was giving ten percent rebates to Bookstore customers at a time when the store was losing money. But students at the University have proven they are responsible, Mr. Hochman claimed, citing the improvements in Sub-Board’s operations this year. - — Rich Hochman Santos Doty viewed it as an opportunity to change the make-up of the entire Board of Directors. These are “sincerely advanced fears,” Dr. Hull added. Additionally, Mr. Balkin said any increase in voting members would result in too much discussion, which would prevent business from being conducted efficiently. It would also be too difficult to get a quorum for meetings, he claimed. Mr. Letter said his proposal would not hamper discussions, adding that the PSS is convinced that its representatives will never be elected to the Board under the present circumstances. “We feel disenfranchised,” he remarked.

While he doubts that the mandatory fee will be defeated in this week’s voting, Dr. Fritz feels that if it is, the state might pick up the tab for athletics at least until something else could be worked out. “If the fee were made voluntary it might force a decision on the part of the state,” he said. The Athletic Department has long felt that only the state could fund and run the program properly. The hockey vote Despite rumors that Buffalo’s hockey players’ were instructed by their coach, Ed Wright, to vote against the fee. Dr. Fritz said that he and his staff were making no recommendations to the athletes at all. If a voluntary fee were instituted and students had to designate how they wanted their money spent, Dr. Fritz feels athletics would still fair relatively well. It is generally believed, however, that this system would not provide a sum anywhere near the present athletic budget. Student Association President Frank Jackalone disagreed with Dr. Fritz’ assessment. “The University has never accepted that arrangement,” Mr. Jackalone said, referring to a system by which voluntary fees collected by the bursar could be sent to specific groups. He cited the Inter-Residence Council (IRC) and New York Public Interest Research Group (NYP1RG) as organizations that attempted such an arrangement and failed. Separate athletic fee Mr. Jackalone said it would violate SUNY guidelines to establish a separate fee for athletics.” Even if it were possible for the Student Assembly to break down a voluntary fee into several categories, athletics wouldn’t be one of them,” he added. But Dr. Fritz was quick to point out that at many schools students donate a lot more to athletics than they do on this campus. Mr. Jackalone insisted, however, that the state would not institute a special fee for athletics. “It is a political unreality for him [Fritz] to think that if the mandatory fee goes down, the state would pass a separate fee (for athletics].” Attention To all The Spectrum course members: REMEMBER: The Spectrum class meets every other Thursday night. The next meeting will be Thursday, February 13, at 7:30p.m. in room 3, Annex B. Questions? Amy 831-4113 ■ ■r : News Analysis Fate of student services to be decided in fee referendum by Amy Dunkin and Larry Kraftowitz Is a compulsory payment of $67.50 a year necessary for maintaining an adequate level of student activities and services at this University? This question, more than any of the other complex practical and philosophical issues that have surrounded the mandatory student fee, will most likely determine the outcome of this week’s referendum. Whether students are dissatisfied with the way the fee has been allocated, or opposed to a system which compels them to pay the fee or face expulsion from the University, the reality of forfeiting movies, concerts, health care, social services, publications and other services that thrive on the fee is not something students will pass off lightly as they step into the voting booth. At the same time, the allocating process has generated so much controversy over the past year that significant numbers of students may be prepared to live without it on principle. Having grown openly cynical toward a student government which they feel has become bureaucratic and increasingly isolated from student priorities, they may decide that reform can be achieved only if Student Association is faced with the reality of an empty treasury. A majority vote of “no” would constitute such reality. authority to review the budgets, the Assembly froze the entire intercollegiate budget at an emotion-filled meeting. The Assembly ultimately upheld SA President Frank Drastic step Student government officers have all but conceded that the present method of dispersing budgets is exclusionary, but they believe that eliminating the close to $1 million that the fee provides is too drastic a solution from a problem that can best be corrected through existing channels. Rather than risk the cancellation of existing programs, SA has drafted a new constitution that seeks to rectify many of its current problems. This past year, for example, the Student Assembly did not have much of a voice in determining budgets because disruptions by special interest groups at the annual spring hearings dragged the process out past the May 15 deadline. Faced with imminent athletic contract deadlines, the Executive Committee preceded to pass the entire undergraduate budget by June 1. When Assembly members returned in September expecting to pick up where they left off, they were told by Executive Committee members that the Athletic Department had been given the go-ahead to sign contracts using the figures allocated in June, and that the intercollegiate athletic budget coulg not be changed. Jackalone’s veto of the freeze after he warned that it could open the way to costly and politically damaging lawsuits. But the entire the lack of sequence of events time to review budgets in the spring, the loss of the opportunity to carefully scrutinize the budgets in September, and a growing disenchantment with what many considered, to be .an inflated focused a great athletic budget An£ry response Angered at what it considered deal of attention on the fact thatpr fd a violation of its the actual budgetary decisions had constitutionally-mandated again been left in the hands of — - & : - T- . wL; A ■' -• H jf «v •: relatively few students. By all accounts it was this factor that was probably the most direct impetus behind SA’s decision to, pursue constitutional reform. The new constitution, which must be approved this week along with the mandatory fee, provides for a Financial Assembly whose sole function would be allocating the fee in accordance with student priorities. In all fairness The creation of a specialized body to review the budgets, SA officers claim, will increase likelihood that budgets will be dispersed more fairly. Critics of the proposed constitution are quick to point out, however, that the Financial Assembly is actually a much smaller body than the Student Assembly and will therefore confine decision-making to even fewer hands.

And even though a federal court ordered black students admitted >to the state’s all white schools in 1962, the Justice Department has charged that Mississippi schools have remained essentially segregated ever since they first opened their doors. But Mississippi does not stand alone in perpetuating racial segregation in higher education. This February marks the second anniversary of a court order requiring the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) to press for desegregation in ten state school systems. Furthermore, a recent report by the Southern Education Foundation (SEF) has expanded that number, and charged that 19 states have separate higher education systems for whites and blacks. Two of the original ten states, Mississippi and Louisiana, are the objects of suits filed by the Justice Department designed to brce desegregation. Florida, Eight other states Arkansas, Georgia, Maryland, Morth Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Virginia have filed desegregation plans accepted by HEW. The Justice Department is also involved in a desegregation suit in the eleventh state, Tennessee. - — No federal action But in the eight additional Alabama, states listed by SEE Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas and West Virginia no official federal action in the form of suits or HEW-monitored desegregation planning has occurred. The SEE report said the 19 states operate schools where 2.6 million students are enrolled. While 50,000 students attended 35 black -only schools in the 19 states in 1954, the report said, whites comprise 5-10 percent of the 100,000 students now enrolled in those colleges. The report calculated that blacks currently make up more than 5 percent of the 2.5 million students attending formerly all-white schools.

He added, however, that “there is concrete evidence to support the charge that some students used a student government credit card for their own personal use.” He said also that a number of long distance phone calls were charged to the student government office. Illegal gas Blaine Schwartz, associate editor of the Stylus, said he and investigative reporter Clark Gebman found that about $5,000 worth of gasoline and S900 for repairs of privately owned cars had been paid for with the organization’s credit card. In addition, the Black Student Liberation Front, a campus group, allegedly used student government funds for “unauthorized entertainment.” “Every bit of information Mr. Gebman and I uncovered has been double and triple checked,” Mr. Schwartz asserted. Student government President, John Myers, in December authorized an audit of his organization’s funds by a private firm (Haskins and Sills of Rochester) to attempt to clarify the situation. The audit revealed that approximately $27,000 could not be accounted for by receipt or vouchers. The auditors recommended the installation of a full-time business manager to administer spending of funds. Mr. Gebman has submitted a report to the President of the college Albert Brown, outlining possible criminal charges of “fraud, forgery and attempted embezzlement.” “The president shall review the report and then forward it to the District Attorney’s office for legal action,” said Mr. Schwartz. The moratorium on spending will continue until the student government can “show accountability for its accounts,” he added. 4 6ovr«ot fiporioioco ShovW M»t Misti Yn’II Eijoj these Exotic Foots Mia Oh, Gus, it's no fuss to get a good copy (’cause you're not sloppy) and it costs only a fraction I GUSTAV 355 Norton Hall 9-5, Mon.-Fri.

The program began with an open forum with former Attica inmates who have been indicted for their participation in the uprising. More than 100 people heard Baba Tinji (Richard Fisher), Dalou Asahi (Mariano Gonzalez), Red Murphy and El-Rock Moriba answer questions about Attica and prisons in general. Tracing the roots of the uprising, the men cited their frustration and feelings of powerlessness in petitioning for change through traditional means. They explained the tension that had been building in the prison until the uprising, when it finally exploded. Explaining the failure of American prisons, Mr. Asahi asked rhetorically, “Why is the crime rate escalating? If you speak to inmates you will find that they learned nothing in prison." Negativity charged He said that prisons concentrate on negativism and not on human development potential, charging that most of the money alio ted to prisons goes to administrators and security personal, and not to programs designed for rehabilitation. Attica, along with the Kent State and Mylai killings, is a ' ! . I microcosims of American society, he said, adding, “It’s not just a prison, it is this country.” When asked if Attica had changed since the uprising, Mr. Asahi noted slight changes, but termed them “tokenism.” Prisons are not called prisons anymore, but are now referred to as “correctional facilities,” he reported. The visiting screen that used to block prisoners from visitors has been removed, but the width of the table has been doubled, making it impossible for prisoners to make physical contact with the visitor. Grievances are reported to prison guards, he continued, but it is weeks before replies, if any, are given. Inmates who are seen as “troublemakers” are still placed in special housing units or are transferred to other prisons. what is until you people get reasonable.’ The person being tried was later acquitted, as a result of that one juror’s persistence,” the participant concluded. Judges also have an influence on juries, it was mentioned. In trials they are often looked upon as the “father in the courtroom,” and jurors look at them if not “with respect,” at least “with obedience,” one speaker noted. Many jurors have become more involved in a case than they originally intended. In last year’s Wounded Knee trial, the jury formed their own group to urge the government to drop the other Wounded Knee cases, after they acquitted their own. Expendable When asked what could be learned from the uprising, Mr. happening, the has to come into Attica,” she said. Many Attica inmates have not had visitors in over a year, she went on, and prisoners who do have outside visitors are less likely to be mistreated. Asahi replied. “We learned that hostages are just as expendable as prisoners.” It also taught the men that the government is more deceptive than they realized, he said. This has been shown by the inequity of the S8 million allotment the Attica prosecution was granted, while the defense has received none of the $750,000 they had been promised, according to Mr. Asahi. The defense has been operating without funding since the indictments were handed down, he said. One observer stressed the importance of personal contact between inmates and people in the community. “In order to stop ‘Attica for all ages’ After the recent acquittal of former Attica inmate Vernon LaFranque, one 68-year-old black woman juror lined up the movie Attica" for her senior citizen group on Jefferson Ave. In response to the public's even greater ignorance about women's prisons than about men’s, members of the Women’s Prison Project read excerpts from poems ers. interviews and documents relating to women and prison The Saturday morning Saturday afternoon.

But the inmate who had made the call received room punishment for three days for using the phone without permission.

One woman who had planned to have an kl?or>it5n before her arrest was denied permission to have the abortion by prison doctors.

Members have been running craft classes at the Juvenile Detention Center and the Erie County Holding Center, for example. Rights deprived Members are also involved with lawyers who are preparing a class action suit for all persons awaiting trial in the holding center. The action charges that persons awaiting trial have been deprived their constitutional rights because of the “alleged use of maximum security treatment; lack of employment, recreation and training; restrictions on visits and outside contacts; inadequate health care; interference with legal preparations and access to the courts; deprivation of personal property; restrictions on mail, literature and speech; interference with the practice of religion; improper disciplinary procedures; and inadequate personal and living conditions.” Wednesday, 5 February 1975 The Spectrum Page five . . �Hurd case is not an unusual one. “The Hurd decision involves what the city pays for civil service and is a responsibility of the city,” Mr. Clark said, adding that such a decision was not in the least part irrational.

But the Erie County Department of Health is trying to break the pattern and provide inexpensive quality health care through a county-wide Health Maintenance Organization (HMO). The program, still in the planning stages, will be made possible by a $123,000 grant from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW). The grant is the first to be awarded a local government for this purpose, and, according to the county’s Assistant Health Commissioner Arthur Goshien, the county will become a model for similar organizations nationwide. An HMO consists of physicians, specialists and lab technicians who provide medical service to individuals who subscribe to their group health plan. These professionals are paid in turn with funds drawn from individual service premiums periodically collected. No restriction The Erie County Health Department now operates several regular health care centers, providing gynecologic, obstetric, psychiatric, dental and other medical services. Each center maintains its own laboratories, pharmacies, X-ray facilities and a staff of more than 100 full and part-time workers. The health care centers presently handle about 50,000 cases each year on the traditional (although discounted) fee-for-service basis, Dr. Goshien explained. A visit to a physician costs about five dollars. Although many of the centers are located in poverty areas, they are not serving only low-income communities. Dr. Goshien explained; “There is no restriction on who can get service at the centers.” HMO’s emphasize disease prevention and cut Watson Homestead down on expenses by reducing the number of hospitalized cases. [HMO’s are expected to reduce/ the number of hospitalizations by about 50 percent.] One stop The organization and the physicians must be responsive to both consumers and the federal government to maintain quality health care. Dr. Goshien described this as a “quality insurance mechanism” which is absent in private practice. In private practice, doctors make money when more people are sick, with HMO’s doctors collect more money when their patients are healthy. The problem of finding a variety of medical services has been eliminated for those who use the HMO’s, since a person needs to make only one stop for all dental and medical needs. HMO rates are the same regardless of age, health status and income, and reflect how often members use the services. The HMO also covers out-of-area situations, like auto accidents, as well as all emergency services. The Erie County planners are also trying to include medicinal prescriptions in their coverage. Pay less “This is like the industrial revolution of medicine,” Mr. Goshien said. “It gets us away from the fragmented, inefficient services to a more holistic kind. And the services are available when and where the people want them.” The fee for joining an HMO is slightly higher than for joining the available Blue Cross Shield plans, but a study showing a comparison of premiums plus “out of pocket” additions shows that HMO members consistently pay less for year-round medical care. Dt. Goshien estimated that the Erie County HMO probably will be operative by the summer of 1976.

Analysis of the Ford plan reveals a number of reasons why the resister is best advised to stay away from it. The President announced his conditional amnesty plan for Vietnam era draft evaders and military deserters on Sept. 16, 1974. The plan was based on a program of earned reentry through alternate service. As far as the President was concerned, it was an act of mercy needed to end the nation’s lingering divisiveness over the Vietnam War. Those eligible for the plan would have to: 1) appear before the appropriate authorities before Jan. 1, 1975 (They now have until March 1, since the program has been extended); 2) reaffirm their allegiance to the United States; 3) spend up to two years in public service jobs. Three groups affected Draft violators must also report to a U.S. Attorney’s office and will have any charges against them dropped upon completion of their alternate service. Military deserters go to a central processing point at Fort Benjamin Harrison in Indiana UMCK Htf Bft)TA60) to sign their oath of allegiance and agree to alternate service, upon which they receive an undesirable discharge. After their alternate service they receive a new “clemency discharge.” Those already convicted of draft and desertion offenses report to the Presidential Clemency Board, which reviews their cases and may recommend clemency contingent on completion of alternate service. If appellants have served time in jail and now hold less than honorable discharges, they can receive a clemency discharge upon completion of alternate service. Even on its face, the program is controversial. Many war resisters feel that it is insulting. Their most common objection is that alternate service implies they have done something wrong, for which they must now atone. The reaffirmation of allegiance is seen as an indignity on a moral basis as well, because it ignores some of the most principled opposition to the war. When the program was announced, American exile organizations in Toronto called for a two-day conference to plan their opposition to Mr. Ford’s idea of conditional amnesty. At the conference they demanded a universal and unconditional amnesty and embarked on a concerted effort to counsel resisters away from the Ford program. Missing persons? Accurate and verifiable statistics indicating the number of resisters eligible for the program are almost impossible to THAT <0*6 \ U (09306, «r* CK IMlUAi, - J lj Sym^M m Tlf / www) h/r C&Uihj 15.

Statewide, only 330 people have 20 in Buffalo, signed up for the program 170 in New York City, and 140 throughout the rest of the state. The majority of these reigstrants have been military deserters, which seems perfectly reasonable considering the status of Justice and Defense Department cases against evaders and deserters. Military deserters have very good reason to believe that they are wanted by the military for their offenses and that they are, in fact, guilty of some violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. But military justice and procedure is very different from civilian justice (as practiced by the Department of Justice) and procedure (as practiced by the Selective Service System concerning draft violators). The fact is that there are unknown thousands of draft violators, either in exile or underground, who believe that they are wanted by the Justice Department and are guilty of some portion of the Selective Service Act, but in reality are neither wanted nor guilty. — Poison air The reason is simple. Thousands of indictments brought by the Justice Department against draft violators have been dropped or were never issued because of various procedural errors and illegalities committed by Selective Service during the course of the war. Explaining how this situation developed, however, is not so simple. For the fact is that thousands of draft violators are now being urged by the government to atone for crimes not committed by them, but for crimes that have been committed against them by the Selective Serivce. UB DRY CLEANERS Auto emissions account for 25% polution health hazard GRAND OPENING SPECIAL To celebrate the opening of the NEW AMHERST CAMPUS DRY CLEANING CENTER Both Centers will offer the following special from Jan 31 by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor — Feb. 14th, 1975 PANTS Have you been having a hard time breathing lately? About 4,000 people did last year and died from respiratory ailments linked directly to automobile emissions, according to a study by the National Academy of Sciences. Funded through the Seante Committee on Public Works, the Academy reported that of all health hazards caused by air pollution, ten to twenty-five percent can be traced to auto emissions. In addition, some four million worker absences are attributed to auto emissions, which aggravate bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma. Twenty percent of the population of our country is suffering impaired health by pollution related to auto emissions, the study found, with those living in the more heavily polluted urban areas affected to an even greater extent. Authors of the booklet The Earth Belongs to The People claim that estimates of auto pollution range from 25 to 50 percent of all air pollution. Although “over 80 percent of auto exhaust” is carbon monoxide, the study found more dangerous pollutants that both cars and industry emit, including “particulates, organics (hydrocarbon compound gases from incomplete combustion), nitrogen oxide (gases from burning), and sulfur oxides (gases from burning fossil fuels such as coal and oil). Companies make profits People have known about air'pollution from auto emissions for many years, yet more and more cars turn up on our nation’s highways every year. The authors of the booklet The Earth Belongs the People written in 1970, found that General to Motors products net the company over "$1.7 billion in clear profits every year,” and account for 35 percent of the air pollution tonnage in the U.S. C JL © SKIRTS SWEATER - , L & OjF CO.

They also charge that auto companies make cars to “last about three years” so that new cars must be continually produced.

The majority of the men, and most of the women, were illiterate. They knew little Hebrew, if any. Their children were unschooled. But they, too, were the exiles, the Jews of the Orient, and they were gathered in. The leadership was always European, but it was hoped that a common education would erase all differences in the new land’s children. That was the pure old liberal doctrine; and, as we know from America, it was pure baloney. But some things are changing now, spurred on by the Yom Kippur war. The old guard was toppled, and the first native-born Israeli became Prime Minister. Politicians are learning, as Tammany had over a century ago, that immigrants can be built into a powerful political machine. Even so loved and tough a lady and pol as Golda Meir could say, not too long ago, “Unless you know Yiddish, you cannot be a real Jew.” Yet what does a dark Jew from Marrakesh know about Yiddish, that eastern European tongue? No politician is likely to make that mistake these days. There is even a Black Panther party here, to work for the dark Moroccan Jew. And, just to make things more complex, there is a native Arab population naturalized. There are Christian sects of half-score variety. There are twelve different ethnic classifications in the legal system of Israeli citizenship. Not to mention all the Arabs in occupied territories who must be given opportunities under a military rule. Obviously, Israel cannot afford to be complacent; but, then, who can? Each of the country’s universities has now created an entrance program to tutor disadvantaged Orientals and make them ready for college. At one of the northern development towns where terrorists struck Kiryat Orientals had been living at a level far Shemona below that of Israel’s pride. Since then, fifty young teachers have voluntarily gone up there, near the dangerous Syrian border, to help lift that community’s life up as a model. A government group showed us around; and one of the new teachers himself a Moroccan who has also taught in America said: “We are one body. When any limb is made to bleed, we all bleed.” Israel’s ethnic problem remains, and is serious.

The Ellicott party held on January 18, 1975 was, as in no way connected with you correctly stated Association only takes mandatory fee.

Without the mandatory fee, these organizations and activities would disappear overnight. So, before hastily voting “No” to the fee question, I suggest you come to the Mandatory Fee Forums held Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week; 12-4:00 p.m. in Haas Lounge.

It’s a matter of life and death for all student activities on campus and that’s no bull! an attempt — Scott J. Salimando Executive Vice President Student Association Bourgeois media To the Editor May I protest Fredda Cohen’s treatment of the forthcoming New York Times article, the people interviewed, the people interviewing. The “Hard Times Project” was not a product of as abstruse and out-of-context editing as Cohen uses on Professor Frisch (her only qualified informant). He could not speak for the entire project, just as I cannot. He rendered an analysis, as I in brief, shall now. The object of the article was not to allow the middle class to sympathize with people who work, nor to get the ruling class to take the people they employ seriously. The people I interviewed were after survival, the quality of life, revealing the injustices of the American system, maintaining their dignity and seeking alternatives to living under oppressive conditions. The article was emblazoned with the fact that the people doing (die article (students, employed and workers) were trying to re-work the trying to find justice in Amerikka, social publicizing not misery, but action and the need for action. The way in which Cohen’s article was written and incorporated into your paper suggested that it was a 1930’s plea for help, for F.D.R. and welfare. The people who are the article speak for themselves. They can’t be oppressed by bourgeois media any more than they already have. They deserve to be heard. One way or another, they will be heard. Marcia Pragcr Fred T. Friedman (Interviewers for the projectI The whys and wherefores of the material that appears in this thing are rarely very clear to me. In that respect, as well as in several others, this column is not written. Writing requires more of an effort than this space frequently gets. From me at least, the effort expended by several generations of proofreaders is something else again. Upon occasion, a fair amount of flak has come down on my head for delving too deeply into my own head when it involves other people. Which seems rather like a legitimate bitch. Legitimate enough at least to cause me to pause and take stock of why it is that the limits of what 1 am willing to commit to paper seem different than those of some others. There seem to be no clear answers to such a question, or series of questions. 1 give myself license to begin with where my head is at the time of trying to start a column, and follow it. That is obvious. The not obvious part involves the safety which I must experience in order to poke around in the corners of my head that I choose to. Part of it is not caring about what other people do with what appears here. It is always pleasant to have somebody pick something out of this mess that they can identify with, and use to feel less isolated than before they read it. In terms of frequency this is not your run of the mill occurance. The probability is that no one says anything to me. But I still write. So it must be a more intrinsic reward. There must be at least a trace of rebellion in these things when I start to test my own limits. My suspicion centers on this; that by testing my limits in front of you and anybody else that happens along, I make it harder for myself to back down. Basically 1 am not so terribly brave. Being in painful places is nothing that seems absolutely necessary to my existence. Yea, and is even to be avoided. Having it there, under my nose, in black and newsprint, reminds me that 1 felt strong enough about whatever it is to run it down the way I felt it. It is a form of keeping a public journal. If the content is strong enough to break out here, then it must be important. Another clear piece is a belief, a not terribly sensible or defensible belief, that whether or not you tell me' about it, some of you folks get something out of this space on occasion. More precisely, the belief deals with the existence of people who are also in the business of trying to survive and get it together in whatever ways that make sense to them. If one tries to defend such a belief by examining the state of togetherness in the world about one, it clearly becomes a pseudo-religion. On what basis is it possible to rationally argue the existence of a freakish underground of people secretly working on their heads when no one is looking? So, another of my quirks is made public. Is it possible to be paranoid in a positive direction, or does that automatically become optimism? An optimistic-schizophrenic? We may have just set psychology back several years. Who was it used to do a show that had “1 know you’re out there” in it somewhere? It is important, when one has such an unsettled grasp on reality, to take one’s evidence where one finds it. For myself and at least one other renegade freak that 1 know, the new Bob Dylan album provides a totally ridiculous amount of good karma, or whatever you wish to label it. As said friend muttered the first time he heard it, “With all the rest of the shit going on in the world, what difference does it make if Dylan does a good album?” Sitting in front of a fireplace recently, we decided that regardless of whether it made any sense, it did make a difference. If you keep on struggling maybe you don’t have to lose anything; maybe, just maybe, you can survive the process of growing up with some of the good parts still intact, or so my piece seems to run. Which sounds pretty much like heresy to me, when I stop and think about it. Such optimism can lead to all sorts of unpleasant and painful feelings if one is not careful. But that is all part of the same mess apparently. As I write this 1 suddenly realize that another side of the painful stuff is knowing that you can survive it. The latest Jackson Browne album, Late For The Sky, has been enormously valuable to me over the last month. One of the things that I drew from the album was a sense of a man who was stuck with a high degree of sensitivity and his version of how to live with that. It is possible to notice all that stuff and still stay sane or at least uncommitted by the State Mental Health folks. Maybe it is not so much that misery loves company, as it is that if you are going to hurt you might as well try to handle it in a way that somebody else might get something else out of it. My lip ability to play the guitar is legendary in some circles. Several doctors have been fascinated to watch fingers turn to big toes before their very eyes. So that there is limited feasibility to my ty Sletse going the direction that Browne and Dylan took to keep themselves sane and reaching out. But it does feel at times as though you have to do something, yes? Or explode. At the end of the whole thing, I guess that is why one of these things appears with regularity. There is some catharsis on one hand, and on the other a commitment to wrestle for my soul with whatever evil spirits might be hanging around this week. This week’s bout has been a tag-team match between the purposefulness of life, and the need to be yourself, in the far corner representing the underground, against the morals of discussing other people’s private lives in print and the stupidity of optimism, representing my ... — I * grump superego. This match has been brought to you care of the Record Coop, hidden cheerfully away in the Norton Basement, wherein you can find the new Dylan, Browne’s Late For The Sky and Joni Mitchell’s live LP if you are really flush. All of whom have some things to say about how to be alive and not have to quit feeling. Take care. Pax. Wednesday, 5 February 1975 . The Spectrum , . Page eleven �Disrupt student life To the Editor. It is apparent to me that a lot of people are overlooking some of the important services that will be eliminated if mandatory student fees are voted down. Agencies like Sunshine House, Legal Aid, the Family Planning Clinic, CAC and Pregnancy Counseling are some of the services that will be impossible to adequately replace. These services are student-oriented, student-run, and totally student-funded. I am conscious of the problems that people are complaining about as far as allotment of fees goes, but to totally destroy the system will do more to hamper and disrupt student life than help it. A more appropriate response would be to get involved in changing SA in either the financial decision-making process, or by making your voice heard when priorities are discussed at SA meetings. I hope when you vote you consider the importance of these services to you and your fellow students. Bob Bertone, Director Sunshine House Elitism in the SA are also reponsible for their impotency because they make little effort to become informed or active in V/e wish to take issue with last Friday’s editorial their government.

We agree that there is a need to represent a cross section of students on campus, and take a “positive step toward rehabilitating student be made more aware of the relative merits of vital government” but the new SA constitution would not student issues. Anyone who has read the constitution can be a step in that direction. The new constitution would effectively limit plainly see that this document would give rise to the and shrink the legislative body of the students. By creation of an overly complex bureaucracy, which creating a maze of executively dominated “task would only serve to further discourage student forces,” whose members would alone constitute the participation in their government. In these times, when students are crying for Student Assembly, it would serve only to further perpetuate the control of student government by a more direct input into the decision-making processes small elite. This constitution would effectively close (i.e. the recent speakers bureau incident), there is a the door even further to direct student need for a constitution which improves the quantity and quality of student involvement in our representation in their government. Our student government must be changed. The government, rather than one which creates further way to improve it is to encourage more active obstacles to such participation. We urge students to vote against the proposed student participation in that government. The legislative body of the Student Assembly is presently constitution in today’s referendum. An elitist a frustrated, impotent body. This is largely due to constitution is not a cure for the ailment that the fact that the executive is constantly bypassing currently afflicts our government. the Assembly, producing frustration and apathy in Robert Cohen its members, and discouraging other students from Richard Sokolow joining the Assembly. Assembly members themselves To the Editor. Wearing out old material To the Editor. In the Friday, January 31, 1975 issue of The Spectrum, Sue Wos reviewed the concert that included performances by Alvin Lee and Co. I was very upset by what I read. Alvin Lee is not Alvin Lee of five years ago. Alvin Lee is Alvin Lee of today. He has new people in his band and he is playing new music. This should be to his credit. Instead of staying in the comfortable position of “leader” of the group Ten Years After, he has moved in a new and creative direction that ultimately puts his reputation on the line. But could Alvin Lee really be considered a creative artist if he stood back on his past accomplishments and whenever he toured played old stuff to nostalgic crowds? I don’t think so. He would only be hindering himself along creative lines. I once saw Bill Cosby, the comedian, and at the beginning of the show he got several requests from the audience for old routines. He politely declined them, because, as he explained, constant repitition of old material eventually wears it out, therefore affecting the reputation of the entertainer as an artist. I was one of those people yelling for old material because 1 loved it, but after listening to what he said and then listening to his show I developed a respect for him that I hadn’t had before. 1 had gone there with some pre-conceived notion of what he should be doing to entertain me. I neglected to realize that he is an artist who wanted to move in new directions and create new and funnier material, but with the feelings I had I wasn't letting him do that. It was an unfair demand on my part. Now I can understand people getting upset with Alvin Lee’s show if they had come there expecting certain material, but only if they had the right to expect that certain material. Alvin Lee and Co. came out with an album well over a month ago, before tickets went on sale for the concert, which happened to be recorded live. People who went to their recent concert had no right to expect anything, except the type of music that they are into now, which was represented very well on their new album. I’m sorry that the reviewer, Sue Wos, didn’t enjoy the show. I think Alvin Lee has shown a lot more growing ability than she has.

I thank Mr. do suffer under Arab discrimination. It is claimed Krehbiel for his concern about what exactly a Jew is, that Israel is a product of Western imperialism. In but just for the record; Jews descend from Semites, 1948, when the Jews of Israel (then Palestine), were and as Semites are the same as Arabs, who, by and fighting for their lives, it was the U.S.A. and Great large are Semites also.

Until then increased 75.2 percent. This population increase was in areas where these exclusivist, racist Zionist ’ institutions were and -the Arabs as well as the Jews benefitted from them. Now, Mr. Krehbiel, if you would read the letter I wrote to The Spectrum in the Page twelve The Spectrum Wednesday, 5 February 1975 . . Samuel M. Prince Director, Israel Information Center Ron Hendren '"Washington by Ron Hendren A recent study has concluded that more and WASHINGTON more young people are defaulting on their federally guaranteed student loans, and that report has provided new and potent ammunition to congressmen, senators and White House aides who want an excuse to disembowel the program. More than half a million students have obtained college educations with the help of these loans. The study projects that the government will likely lose some $20 million annually in defaulted notes, about one half oe one percent of the total amount guaranteed, and about half the cost of a single C5A transport aircraft. But never mind, $20 million is $20 million, and in these perilous times a lot more people are spending a lot more time looking for ways to tighten other people’s belts. And rightly so, although the fiscal admonishers would do well to start at home. The problem is that those who are strangling abdominally are the ones who are asked, or forced, to be the first to take in still another notch. Thus it is that Social Security and medicare and medicaid recipietns, students, and others living on slim, fixed incomes that are the first to be asked to sacrifice still more. And that brings us back to the recipients of guaranteed student loans. The four volume study (which, incidentally, cost the Office of Education $180,000) found what most educators already knew: that the recipients of these loans tend to be students from families in middle and lower income brackets, and are people who for the most part would not receive formal education beyond high school were it not for this program. The study also shows that defaulters tend to be lower income persons, are more likely to be black than white, and attended poorer, less prestigious schools. Many attended trade schools. Richard L. Tombaugh, executive secretary of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators fears that “some banks will be more careful now in making loans to the kinds of students who could default.” Federal officials are already suggesting higher loan standards, and similar “solutions” will come from state officials you may be sure. The result: those who need help the most could become those to whom help is denied. A careful reading of the $180,000 study, however, suggests a different course. The study shows that defaults for students attending public and private schools decreased about threefold between 1968 and 1972, while claims from so-called “proprietary” schools increased a whopping 700 percent in this same period. This latter category includes trade schools, secretarial schools, management training schools, and a - host of other generally small institutions. Could it be that many of these schools are fly-by-night operations, the kind which often are advertised on matchbook covers, the same slick operations which bilked so many veterans in an attempt to siphon off G.l. benefits? Could the high default rate be because these schools often ask students to sign a full contract before the recipient has a chance to spend a semester determining whether the institution is able to further his or her career? This is one of the points raised to me recently by Robert M. Pickett, legislative director of the National Student Lobby. But Pickett goes further. “Because it is generally the poorer students who default, it is generally the larger loans which the government gets stuck with,” Pickett says. “I don’t believe that any student, however poor, should be put in the position of hocking himself up to his neck to meet educational expenses. Before a student should be allowed to borrow more than $1000 a year, we should be certain that all other sources part-time work opportunities and the like are exhausted.” Pickett also feels that not enough information is provided to students about their obligations and rights under loan agreements. “Most of these people are borrowing for the first time, and the kind of information they get, both about their new financial obligations and the kind of education they can expect to get for that money, is often particularly at trade schools and the like.” dreadfully poor The outcome of the legislative battle that is sure to ensue over the future of the guaranteed student loan program will hinge on how effectively these arguments are made, for the program though successful is by no means a sacred cow immune to congressional slaughter. If it dies, as that expensive study made clear, there are quite literally hundreds of thousands of young Americans who will never have the chance to get beyond high school in pursuit of formal education. - - — Vote Yes’ To the Editor.

The decrease is attributable to the declining birth rate which set in several years ago, according to John Stigimeier, director of the Department’s Information Center on Education. Furthermore, Dr. Stiegimeier says that Department projections show the decline in enrollment will continue through the early 1980’s. Commissioner of Education Ewald B. Nyquist said the continued decline in enrollment provides an opportunity of the first magnitude for school administrators and school boards to make creative plans to increase quality at the elementary and secondary levels. Contrary to the situation just a few years ago, he said, many school districts now have excess buildings and space. — The good news for the college grad seeking employment is that this year’s job outlook will only be a little worse than last year’s. The bad news is that last year’s opportunities were the worst since World War II. Just how bad the job market is depends on two factors: your chosen field and your expectations. Most surveys agree that chemical, mechanical and electrical engineers (in that order) will have the least trouble finding jobs in their field, and that professionals in accounting, sales and computer systems remain in demand by job recruiters. All other areas, according to a survey of 701 employment organizations taken by the College Placement Council (CPC), show declines in anticipated hiring; Sciences, mathematics and other technical openings are down 12 percent; business is down 11 percent, other non-technical openings are down three percent and unclassified jobs are down six percent. Hiring by state and federal governments is, however, expected to be about the same as last year. In its fall newsletter, the Civil Service Commission said that last year more than 12,000 liberal arts and other “generalist” candidates were hired out of a total 22,600 new jobs and that hiring should increase to 23,000 in 1975 although budget cutbacks could reduce that number. Women and minorities Women and minorities will continue to have an employment edge in white collar jobs, according to a 1974-75 national recruiting trend survey by Michigan State University’s placement services. The MSU survey found that 220 businesses, industries, governmental agencies and educational institutions which responded will emphasize hiring of women and minorities. Elementary and secondary level school teachers should again be feeling the job pinch. Last September, 221,000 beginning teachers were competing for only 118,000 jobs, according to The New York Times. Nevertheless in the depths of gloomy predictions, an occasional encouraging report is heard. After conducting a nationwide survey of white-collar job opportunities, Frank S. Endicott concluded that “It’s much too soon for college seniors to assume that there are not going to be any jobs for them when they graduate.” His survey found that women with bachelors degrees will find seven percent more openings this year than last, and men with bachelors degrees will find roughly one percent more. The placement director at the University of Wisconsin agreed with the Endicott report. “There are a lot more jobs than students think,” he said. “A good percentage of new graduates, especially liberal arts graduates, get depressed by what they read and hear, so they just back off ... and don’t even sample the job market. Or they take the first job that comes along and don’t push for what they should be looking for.” Grad schools Despite the fact that those with graduate degrees are among the worst affected group (17 percent fewer openings), the job shortage may be driving students into grad schools. Liberal arts graduates have found the need for more training or retraining to prepare for areas in which there may be better employment opportunities in the future. In light of the fact that a college degree can’t insure a graduate a white-collar job of his choice, educators have taken another look at the purpose of education. Many counselors have advised liberal arts majors to take a computer science or accounting course. A University of Michigan survey reported that 35 out of 42 businesses and industrial companies said they would be more willing to hire liberal arts graduates who had at least some business-related skills. At the Association of American Colleges annual meeting in Washington, D.C. educators debated whether colleges should adjust their curricula in order to insure employable skills or whether the traditional liberal arts programs should hold fast. “If we convinced him (the student] to come to college to get a liberal education and to learn, to think and play with his head, we can graduate him feeling satisfied,” said Arthur Stickgold, assistant professor of sociology at California State University at Los Angeles. “It is simply false advertising to imply that a B.A. is a meal ticket an automatic entry into middle management with unlimited career opportunities.” Terrel Bell, U.S. Commissioner of Education, however, felt that the goal of the liberal arts college must change. “Today we in education must recognize that it is our duty to provide our students with salable skills. To send young men and women into today’s world armed only with Aristotle, Freud and Hemmingway is like sending a lamb into the lion’s den.” — Changes “While this may give some districts an opportunity to close smaller, less efficient and older facilities, the greatest stress should be placed on utilizing vacant buildings for improving quality and equality of educational opportunity in many ways. This includes reducing the number of students in overcrowded schools, smaller classes, teacher self-renewal centers for the development of better teaching methods and materials, extra classrooms for peer teaching, community education centers, continuing education for adults, pre-kindergarten classes, expanded curricular offerings, better services for the handicapped, and opportunities for racially integrating school populations.” Dr. Nyquist added, “Educators have long believed in individualized attention for students. There is much in current practice which achieves this goal, but declining enrollments offer an unprecedented opportunity to fulfill it.” — Phone 875-4265 College increase Regarding college attendance, full-time enrollment in the state’s two and four-year institutions is estimated at 549,400 this fall, up form last year’s 544,000. The public institutions again show the largest gains, accounting for 338,900 students up about 5,000 from last year. Non-public colleges and universities account for 210,500 students a slight drop from last year. Other statistics reported by the Department show that the number of school districts in the State remains constant. This year there are 756 districts, one less than last year, but down sharply from the 832 in the fall of 1968. Total professional staff employed by local school districts is estimated at 210,550. This includes 183,280 classroom teachers and 27,270 other professional staff. In terms of expenditures, the state’s public schools are expected to spend slightly more than $7 billion this year. This compares with the $6.5 billion spent last year. Of this total, state aid is estimated at $2.9 billion or 41.2 percent of overall expenditures. Last year, slate aid amounted to $2.5 billion or 39.2 percent of overall expenditures. Total expenditures per pupil are estimated at $2,100 this year, up from the $1,921 figure of last school year. — - %r Su OREM EVE CRIS is financed by The Student Mandatory Fees!

And even if there is a noticeable disparity between what a student pays and what he receives, so goes the argument that the everyday taxpayer does not get a one-to-one return on his tax dollar. One proposal that seems to lie somewhere between an absolute “yes” or “no” vote calls for a checkoff system, by which students would be allowed to allocate most of their individual fees to chosen activities and services Compromise Under this set-up, students who wished to use a large portion of their fee for a particular activity would be allowed to participate in it at minimal cost. Such a method of ascertaining priorities, proponents claim, would place the allocating process literally in the hands of students, and price unpopular activites out of existence while more widely-accepted ones would expand or become less expensive. Although the Board of Trustees has allowed state universitites and colleges to the quadrennial postpone referendum for one year so that the mandatory fee guidelines can be clarifed, SA President Frank Jackalone feels it is important to determine now how the student body feels about the fee. If the fee is defeated, Mr. Jackalone has the option of immediately calling for another referendum. Cuban schools honor heroes the McCarthy era, for its alleged role in spying operations.

Since there has been no reliable information on how the contest winners are determined, the Consumer Forum urges consumers to be wary of answering Mr. Winthrop’s solicitations. This is just one of the ways in which the Consumer Forum, a non-profit organization funded by private donations, has alerted the public to false advertising and unlawful solicitations. Achieved goals After two years in Buffalo, the Consumer Forum has achieved partial success toward these goals. But public relations manager Judy Taylor says that if consumers were less willing to believe any offer and advertisement that came their way, Forum would have a much easier job. “If people were more careful about which mail they answered, we wouldn’t have half the problems we have now,” she laments. The Consumer Forum acts solely as an information dispensing bureau. Investigative work is left to such other agencies as the Better Business Bureau. The Forum uses the BBB’s files to uncover and publicize recent scandals to the public, however. Florida deals Consumer Forum has also been alerting Western New Yorkers who own land in Florida to a group calling itself Property Resale Services, Inc., which claims that it can sell its clients’ land at more than twice its purchase price. The company claims world-wide connections with land brokers and investors who are allegedly “waiting in line” to buy U.S. property. Weekly Ethos * ’ Adequate funding provided Following a successful effort to secure sufficient advertising, Ethos , the University’s literary arts magazine, has resumed regular weekly publication this semester. A funding cutback had forced the magazine to appear irregularly last semester. Last summer. Sub Board, which faced a financial crisis caused by the accumulation of past debts and reduced student government allocations, had originally intended to eliminate funding of Ethos altogether. This recommendation was drawn up by the Sub Board professional staff in line with a list of priorities set down by student representatives last July. The budget recommendation did call for Sub Board to assume all past debts incurred by Ethos while it was a branch of the organization, and suggested continued recognition of the magazine as an official student group. At the time, Ethos Supervising Editor Bruce Fisher had drawn up an austerity operating plan eliminating stipends, all unnecessary telephone service and secretarial costs in anticipation of Sub Board’s failure to come up with funds. This careful management has allowed Ethos to publish every Thursday since mid-January. / The only catch is a $325 advance fee, which will supposedly be refunded upon sale of the property. Efficient The clients later learn that all that is provided for their money is a listing of the property in a directory issued to investors and brokers. The $325 advance fee, which the clients are told is for “research and development,” is used to pay only for the advertising. Through the persistence of the Belter Business Bureau, Property Resale Services lnc v has been investigated by Florida authorities. operation Mr. Fisher explained that even with advertising “money is hard to come by because of the economy today.” Despite their present situation, Mr. Fisher feels the Ethos staff is running a very efficient The magazine’s format includes movie and record reviews, a variety of fiction, low-priced food recipes, photo essays and other features. This arrangement appears to be quite successful, according to Mr. Fisher. When it began publication six years ago, Ethos followed a more news-oriented format. One reason it The Engineering Student Government —Santos Bruce Fisher altered its style was due to its resemblance to 77te Spectrum said Mr. Fisher. , Ethos still retains the production room on the third floor of Norton Hall, provided by Sub Board two summers ago. However, it cannot be determined whether Ethos will receive additional funding in the year to come. & The University Placement Office present a ENGINEERING JOB WORKSHOP All engineering students are welcome.

Tired icers are overwhelmed by Dave Hnath Buffalo’s hockey Bulls completed their toughest week of the season in disappointing style last Saturday. The tired Bulls dropped a pair of overwhelming defeats to Western Michigan, looking like anything but the team that won two but of three games on the road earlier in the week. “As long as I’m coach,” remarked Buffalo’s Ed Wright, “we won’t do anything like it again.” Wright was referring to the Bulls’ six-day bus trip to New England, followed by two home games against the Broncos. “The trip took everything out of us, both mentally and physically,” he added. They started Saturday’s game as if they belonged in the same arena as the Broncos, then were blown off the ice as Western scored five unanswered goals. Poor hunting grounds “We’ve been inconsistent all year,” Wright they lamented. “This is a reflection of our talent just can’t go out and play two-way hockey, game in and game out.” The problem dates back two years, when the tuition waiver for foreign students was abolished. This forced Wright to look to the local leagues for talent. While the Buffalo area is up and coming in junior hockey circles, it still has a long way to go to reach the level of the top Canadian programs. “Western Michigan’s come a long way since becoming a varsity team two years ago,” remarked What happened? After their best performance of the season at Wright. “Just look at their roster. Most of their Salem State, Buffalo believed all they had to do was freshmen are Canadians. Wc just don’t have the show up to win. It didn't lake them long to realize talent to compete against the teams we have they were wrong. The Broncos scored two quick scheduled.” The Bulls have replaced teams like the Lockport goals in the first eight minutes setting the tone for Heinrichs, whom they played several years ago, with the rest of the weekend. Western Michigan had an 8-1 lead by the end of squads like national power Bowling Green. the second period. Then the Bulls displayed the Unfortunately Buffalo’s talent has not improved as inconsistency so characteristic of their whole season. much as its competition. - mm Uncle Pudgy’s Pizza 1458 Hertel • — & Subs near Norwalk 837-3838 • DEFLATION SALE Hours: Open 10 am ! | I Chicken Wings 25c with coupon ; I with coupon ■Expires 2/28/75 I I Expires 2/28/75 Uncle Pudgy Buck good —Santos Buffalo's diminutive heavyweight Charlie Wright played the role of giant killer once again last weekend, pinning two opponents and gaining a lopsided decision over a third.

Buffalo’s record is now 6-10. Mike Jones’ basket, following a great pass by Gary Domzalski, put the Bulls on top, 65-63, with a little over a minute left to go in the second half. Buffalo nursed this slim lead until Otis Horne fouled Knights’ center Ed Orman. Orman missed both free-throws, but as Bull big man Sam Pellom went for the rebound, it was knocked away from him and into the basket, tying the contest with 11 seconds left. Spectrum Confusing incident Bulls assistant coach Harry Hutt claimed the ball hit Geneseo’s Gary Witter in the head and bounced in. Others thought Witter got a hand on the ball, while some asserted that Pellom had knocked it in with his head. Pellom himself was not sure what happened. Orman’s three baskets at the beginning of the overtime put Geneseo on top to stay. But the Bulls lost their last chance when they could not control any defensive rebounds late in the extra period. Two of Buffalo’s leading rebounders, Horne and Jeff Baker, had fouled out earlier. Mini - “Look at it any way you want. We lost on rebounding or we lost on free throw shooting,” said Bulls coach Leo Richardson. Buffalo developed a case of “severe Chamberlain” hitting only 10 out of 22 from the charity line. More gripes Richardson had a few unkind words for the officials, as he picked up another technical foul, his seventh of the season. “I think our kids played a hell of a ballgame, considering they had the odds stacked against them,” he said, referring to the officiating. Geneseo was also spurred on by 1500 screaming fans, something which the Bulls are unfamiliar with. Geneseo coach Tom Pope received praise for molding the Knights into a decent team. “You know they’re well coached,” said Art Garfinkle of the Bulls junior varsity squad. “They don’t have the talent, but they’re still in the game.” Richardson echoed a similar thought, noting that Geneseo, and forward Ed Robota in particular, worked very hard. The junior varsity Bulls lost in double overtime to the Officials. John McCusker of Buffalo lost a basket to an inadvertent whistle with forty-one seconds left in regulation time. With one second left in the first overtime and the score tied. Bulls guard Ron Washington was fouled but the officials sent Garfinkle to the freethrow line. Overall, the Baby Bulls were called for 1 2 more fouls in the game. —Santos Maxa Whitsford of Fredonia State rolled a high 218 game and high series of 594 (198 average) to sweep the individual honors in the U.B. Invitational Bowling Tournament last Saturday. However, a last game surge by Maxa and her teammates wasn't enough -to offset the early lead built by the balanced Brockport contingent. Three Golden Eagle women rolled a better than 500 series. Buffalo was a disappointing fifth out of six teams in the Norton Lanes event.

For New York’s Empire State College, its accreditation last month by the Middle States Association marks the first official recognition of institutionalized, independent study education. Empire State is new. Founded in 1971, the college is part of the SUNY system, although it has no campuses and does not come close to resembling the facilities and resources common to residential Survey finds students support mandatory fee campuses. The college is unique in that it allows its diverse student body to study at times and in places that do not interfere with their other duties. It makes use of all learning experiences, provided the learning can be evaluated in some way. It manages a network of educational arrangements and provides resources to meet the interests and capacities of each individual student. through close working This is accomplished relationships between Empire State and colleges, governmental and community agencies, and other organized bodies.

The random selection of undergraduate students generally that the however, agreed, allocation of these fees presently is handled poorly by the Student Association (SA). was student who Every questioned felt that the proposed voluntary collection of the $67 activity fee “could not work.” Several argued that a voluntary fee would be unfair because some like campus programs, would remain newspapers, available to all undergraduates, while others, like CAC and UUAB, would have to be restricted to fee payers. Claims that students “did not get their $67 worth” were among those who common opposed continuation of the fee. There was also a common feeling that some funded activities are not popular enough to warrant their continued support. support.” those who favored the fee, on the other hand, said it was reasonable and that the University would definitely deteriorate if the activities funded the by mandatory fee were abolished.

The war lovers always talk. 1 suppose that people who truly understand war are like people who have fortunate sex lives or genuine money; They never talk You see him in all the places where the Americans about it. But the war lovers are a special breed. They have gone in this country. He is usually about 35, his body assume that combat, bravery, the smell of death are things trimmer than it has a right to be, his chin fighting the first that do not truly exist until they have been translated into approach of jowls, the thinning hair disguised by a crew words or pictures.

If he he said. I started to laugh. “Have you ever seen a dead has been here a few me iths, he has acquired a steady man?” he said. “Lots of good guys.” He ordered a double Vietnamese girlfriend; if he has just arrived, he puts in a lot scotch and soda. Across the street, kids were firing the last of time in the Tu Do bars, spending his money loudly, firecrackers of the Tet season. A big one went off, and the smiling a weary smile. He doesn’t really care if he ever goes captain turned his head in anger. “If those goddamned kids knew what war was like,” home. He is the war lover. I was at a table on the raised terrace of the the captain said, “they wouldn’t be making so much Continental Palace Hotel, on a day brilliant with sunshine, noise.” when one of them walked in. There it was: the measured “Forget it,” I said. “They’re only kids.” They’re only walk, half remembered from old John Wayne movies; the kids, and their older brothers are getting shot at, and in a casual flick of the cigarillo butt before climbing the three few years they Will join them. He drank the scotch quickly he was with and I reached over to light his cigarillo. “What’s war really steps to the terrace; the captain’s uniform the 173d Airborne, Bien Hoa tailor-made and razor like?” I asked. “War.” He paused dramatically, letting the word hang pressed. He sat at a table next to mine, ordered a scotch and soda, and sat staring out past the potted palms at some in the air outside his mouth. It was coming. He reached forward, his habardines squeaking again, and I wondered point in the middle distance. His face was creased by a wintry half-smile. You have seen it. Clark Gable wore it for for a moment how much he paid the Vietnamese woman the last 15 years of his life. He turned to me, the polished who starched them for him. “War,” he said slowly, letting the words drop out like freshly minted coins, “war is hell.” gabardine rustling as he leaned over. “Gotta match?” he asked. The first hours of talk with the war lovers are always “Sure.” I handed him the box of wooden matches, a the same, and the captain was no different. “We have to local brand with a dragon for a trademark, and 1 stop the Communists somewhere. These people need our remembered guys I had known in the Navy who would sew help, and we're the only people in the world with enough dragons onto the inside of their cuffs the first week out of guts to fight for them.

He had put on the I’ve-seen-terrible-things face captain was saying. “This is war.” Most of the war lovers I've talked to are five-drink again. “Boy,” he said, “lotsa luck.” I wondered if he was drunks. The captain made it to seven. Then something soft hearing a brass band. Then the captain slid his chair over and started came into hi - - droop. I asked him if he was married “Yeah, I’m married,” he said. He was staring moodily; but his eyes couldn’t locate that spot in the middle distance, and he settled for his glass. That’s the way Bogie used to do it. Boy, that Bogie. He had class. He knew what hurt mean. “I wonder what tny wife is doing,” he said to no one in particular. He took out a black elephant-hide wallet with Vietnam stamped on it in gold lettering and brought out the pictures. War lovers always carry pictures. They want you to know what they've given up. “That’s Agnes," he said, “and that’s my kids." A stocky woman in her mid-thirties stared out from the pictures, her eyes lost in the shadows from the hard sun. Behind her was a concrete house of the kind that contractors throw swiftly together around military camps. Three children two boys and a girl were posed stiffly in front of her. The boys wore corduroy pants. The captain wasn’t in the picture. I suppose he was holding Jhe - - camera. “They’re older now,” he said flatly. “When did you see her last?” “See who? Oh, Agnes. Let’s see,” he started mumbling. “Seven months, I guess. Something like that. She writes to me every week.” The waiter brought another scotch “You know something,” the captain said. His gabardines were wilting in the mid-afternoon heat. “You know, I like it here.” He seemed relieved to have said it. “Agnes doesn’t understand.” Only the war lovers understand each other. They understand that finally, after twelve years of serving in a peace-time army, they have found the real thing. They've been shooting at tin cans with the most powerful arsenal in human history, and now they can use it on people. No PTA’s for them out here. No officers’ parties. No worrying about the kids’ health or the car payments or whether Agnes can afford a new dress. Now, after giving ten years of their youth, they can do it the way they’ve only seen it done in the movies. They can be John Wayne, or Clark Gable, or Bogie; they can play fast and loose in the bars; they can enjoy the one luxury war affords the middle-aged: the chance to live again like adolescents. “I’ve seen some terrible things, boy,” he said. “I’m sure you have,” 1 said, paying the waiter. I walked across the sun-splashed terrace. The children were still popping their firecrackers. I wondered if the captair had asked to have his tour of duty extended yet. Most ol the war lovers do. 1966 Two years later Fighting in Vietnam renewing war fears Two years after the signing of the Paris peace agreement that was supposed to end the fighting in Indochina, the war continues to rage with an intensity that has renewed kindled fears of American intervention. Khmer Rouge Cambodian the insurgents now control Mekong River and all roads leading to the capital of Phnom Penh, preventing the delivery of supplies to relieve the besieged city. Vital provinces surrounding the South Vietnamese capital of Saigon have fallen to opponents of the Thieu regime. State and Defense Department officials say the North Vietnamese will move divisions into South Vietnam for a major offensive within the year. ki light of these developments, have Administration officials begun a drive to step up military aid to the Saigon government from the current budgeted level of $700 million to $1 billion. South Vietnamese President Nguyen Van has begun granting Thieu interviews with foreign journalists to drum up support for increased military aid to his government. Troop movements Administration officials have warned a skeptical, hostile Congress that although the North Vietnamese are not probably planning a major offensive in the months, they might be tempted if Congress refuses to supply additional aid to South next six Vietnam. Lt. General Daniel Graham of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), in a public briefing, said the North Vietnamese 968th strategic reserve division had moved out of Laos into South Vietnam about 10 days ago. General Graham said there was “tentative information” that two other divisions were moving from North to South Vietnam. General Graham, and Phillip C. Habib, Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian Affairs, gave several possible explanations for the North Vietnamese troop movements. They could be a feint by North Vietnam for an purpose, undetermined reinforcement for current military activities in South Vietnam and, most ominously, a preliminary build up toward a major offensive. Aid sought Meanwhile, President Thieu warned that the $300 million in military aid proposed by President Gerald Ford was the “minimum” that his forces would need to themselves from defend intensified North Vietnamese and Vietcong attacks. He' did not think the South Vietnamese army and his regime would “collapse” in 1975 without UP I the extra aid, but Mr. Thieu said “the situation will be very dangerous in 1975” unless that aid were provided. President Thieu said the morale of his troops began to drop after the American Congress cut half the Administration’s $1.4 billion request for military aid to the Saigon government last year. “Every time 1 go into the field to visit the field commanders,” Thieu “the only said, Mr. complaint is not to have enough ammunition, not to have enough mobility, enough not air support.” artillery like we have before. We have consequently more wounded.” Mr. Thieu said the South Vietnamese did not yet believe the United States had “betrayed” them, but indicated that “most of the people of South Vietnam” were beginning to believe the “lured” them into the war, were now. abandoning them.

As Dr. Kissinger, President Ford and others dined on squab and wild rice, twenty rockets and artillery shells bombarded the Phnom Penh airport in the worst attack on the airport since the shelling began January I. If the Administration insists on increasing military aid and if the fighting in Indochina increases. Congress, which is generally opposed to more aid probably will start “the whole Vietnam war debate again.” Monday, 3 February,1975 . The Spectrum .

How this has affected the lives of its citizens will be cover story of the Sunday New York Times on February 9.

The article is based on “edited interviews that explore the nature of the unemployment situation in Buffalo, its human dimensions, implications for and its the American understanding economic growth,” explained Michael Frisch, assistant professor of History.

When asked if the people offered any solutions. Dr. Frisch responded, “Some people thought of others unions, changing threatened violence, but most just used their energies for survival. It’s a day-to-day struggle to live. It’s hard for people to think face,” The people interviewed were described as angry and helpless. They were surprisingly articulate and directed their anger at labor unions, corporations and “major built-in injustices,” Dr. Frisch said. He feels that “this points to major fundamental problems beyond in system.

Fiedler defends open access to education Teachers brainwash He also feels the “standards” which students are supposedly failing to meet are obsolete and false. English teachers have too long accepted the role of “thought police” and enforcers of these false standards. Dr. Fiedler explained. He accused his profession of brainwashing students to favor a minority of “high art” books in a world where the majority actually prefers popular art in the form of detective stories, westerns and even pornography. “Teachers still prepare lists of great books,” which often lead to “hypocrisy and downright lying,” he asserted. The works of Shakespeare, Mark Twain and Chaucer, once considered “pop art,” have since become “high art,” he noted. Schools decide which books are good based on the kind of books they are, Dr. Fiedler said. “Even libraries separate the real books from the detective stories and westerns.” Dr. Fiedler held that these hypocritical decision serve neither Milton Himmelfarb, a contributing editor of Commentary magazine and an editor of the American Jewish Year Book, will speak on Anti-Semitism and Assimilation in the United States on Wednesday, February 5 at 8:00 p.m. in the Fillmore Room.

The Spectrum . Page five �i Editorial A familiar scenario like a bad nightmare come The scenario is too familiar, back to haunt and torment: The President asks for $300 million in supplemental military aid to South Vietnam. American planes begin flying reconnaissance missions over that country. Government spokesmen begin telling the world that a democratic government will be topples if American aid is not sent there soon. One would think the setting was from a 1962 novel about Cold War intrigues, but these facts have been taken straight from newspaper accounts over the last three weeks. Just two years after the signing of the Paris Peace Accords, renewed U.S. intervention in South Vietnam is now being seriously considered. As Congress decides within the next few weeks whether to again support Henry Kissinger's policy of death and destruction, one is reminded of what the climate in this country was right after the Paris Peace Accords. At that time, prominent spokesmen were concluding that the United States had finally learned how wrong it was to follow Cold War politics to their logical conclusions. There was talk of how we no longer believed that any country with a different political and economic system than ours was potentially destructive to our way of life. Learning this valuable lesson, some claimed, provided some consolation for the 50,000 Americans who were killed, countless others who lost limbs or were maimed or paralyzed for life, and a lost generation of young people whose lives, educations and whole way of thinking were permanently altered by the turbulence of the anti war movement. The subsequent Watergate scandals and the disgrace of Richard Nixon served as further grist for the mill. People spoke of how the United States had undergone an internal moral and spiritual self-examination and come out the better for it. All of this, of course, is fiction. This country has not changed at all. And the tragedy of it all is that after years observing the deceit, destruction and brutal abstractions of Henry Kissinger's policies, no lessons have been learned. Kissinger's Vietnam policies call for using American aid to prop up a right-wing dictatorship that could never stand by itself and therefore requires endless war. But Kissinger is given the choice, he would and foremost a theorist first villages burn and have a different peasant rather bomb and MyLai every day than admit the underlying fallacies and cynical brutality of his foreign policy. Considering Mr. Kissinger's enormous skill as a liar and a manipulator of Congressional egos, it would not be surprising if Congress bought his war. And that would mean, of course, that the pain, the interrupted lives, and all of the tragedy of the last 15 years will have been for naught. One scenario forsees the imminent shooting down of an American reconnaissance plane in Indochina. When that happens, Kissinger will go on nationwide T.V., and with the same pseudo-solemnity he has been using over the years, will ask for an American response. If Congress goes on believing his lies, his manipulations and the senselessness of his him death and destruction can only be around the policies — — Guest Opinion substantial by Fran Edgerton SI2.000 On February 5, 6 and 7, a referendum will be held on this campus to decide the tutur# ot the mandatory student activity fee. If precedent will is any guide, a small minority of UB students decide whether or not to retain the $67 annual fee. Views on the issue have ranged from the ardent support of the incumbent Student Assembly hierarchy to the outright opposition of Richard Siggelkow, Vice President for Student Affairs. Somewhere in the middle stands Anthony Lorenzetti, assistant Vice President for Student Affairs, who sees the question as “how fees ought to be spent.” Apologies to the SA: the fee in its present form is an untenable tax on the majority of students, especially commuters, who get little for their money. Apologies to Dr. Siggelkow: the student body here has never exhibited the cohesion or perseverance necessary to voluntarily maintain campus activities at anything approaching the current scale. Apologies to Dr. Lorenzetti: if the fee is defeated by those unhappy with the current distribution, the resulting confusion will surely hamper true reform. There is only one way to combine these views If the fee is retained, it must be with the express understanding that immediate reforms be enacted in the distribution of the fee, and later reforms enacted in the collection of the fee. First of all, athletic budget* must be reorganized to reflect the majority of students who have no participation in organized sports. This year’s estimated gate receipts for men’s sports range from S 10.000 for hockey (your S2.000 for investment, S24.000) through basketball (your investment, S26.000) to S200 for wrestling (SI 2,000). This illustrates the drain that men’s athletics has on the SA budget. More equitably, a large part of this money should be diverted to the continued expansion of women’s sports, a further subsidy of the Norton Union and other recreational facilities (S.25 bowling anyone?) and reorganization of Clark Gym and the new Amherst facility. Ideally, prime time in these areas would not be available to the seasonal men’s team but open to student use with all trainers and equipment that a varsity athlete might expect. Further, no dub or organization which is not open to all students should receive any part of a mandatory fee. This would also apply to clubs such as Schussmeisters. which require a fee from members in addition to a funding from SA. It may be that many students object to these proposals and others they may have heard recently. The final solution is a mandatory fee with voluntary distribution, i.e., a check-off system. The mechanics would be somewhat as follows. As the SA currently reserves 8 percent of its monies for operational expenses, an initial increase to perhaps 20 percent would create a reserve to cover previously incurred and contractual expenses. Each student would then be left with about $50 to “donate” in specified shares to the activities of one’s choice. The goal would be to ensure an activities survival with direct reference to the number of students participating or peripherally interested, such as athletics spectators. As an example, the UUAB Film Committees 1974-75 budget is $9,500, or roughly $.75 per fee-paying student. Thus, if 2,000 students wished to support the Film Committee, the basic check-off would be about $5, and these students would enjoy free admission to the films. Of course, these figures are somewhat hypothetical. Perhaps it would be found that a $5 check-off would be worth half-price admission and one of $10, free admission. In this way, unpopular activities would price themselves out of existence while more popular ones would expand or become less expensive as time passed. Also, it might be decided that communication media must receive basic mandatory support. The problems involved in initializing a program of this sort are well within the capabilities of our campus resources in statistics, management and computing. Now each student must decide how to vote in the coming referendum. An affirmative vote will indicate either satisfaction with the status quo or a desire to use the current structure as a basis for reform. A negative vote will indicate either complete dissatisfaction or a desire for immediate radical reform. Unfortunately, the ballot presents a simple yes-no question which will not elicit these differences in opinion. This writer urges that those students wishing reform vote as they see fit and immediately call (831-5507), write or go to the SA offices (205 Norton) and demand that a second referendum be called before next year's budgets can be finalized. This referendum must include the real questions of specific reforms including institution of a check-off system. Rather than vote on a simplistic question once every four years, yes or no to the mandatory fee, seize the opportunity to vote with your wallet each year. — — corner.

Monday, 3 February 1975 Vote against the fee Ambiguous Assembly To the Editor To the Editor. The Student Association has repeatedly proven itself incapable of allotting the mandatory student fees in an equitable way. Many expenditures (i.e., secretarial fees, telephones, stipends, “disbursing fees,” large allocations for special interest groups), one would think, would have no place in the Student Association budget. I’m sure everyone remembers the extortion-like tactics many groups seeking funding employed last spring. Most students could think of a better plan for supporting student activities in the present SA system. But nothing will be done until the students demonstrate their dissatisfaction. One plan would be an optional student activities fee with ID cards going to those who pay for it. In this way the allotment of the student activities fee would either be more responsive to the students supporting it, or lose its support. Another plan would be the reduction of student activities fees to cover only those activities most broadly participated in by the student body. A vote against mandatory student activities fees is not a vote against student activities on this campus, but is rather a vote against the current system of collecting and disbursing the monies. As Chief Justice of the Student Wide Judiciary, I was asked to participate in Wednesday’s Student Assembly meeting concerning the controversy over the actions of Stan Morrow of the Speakers’ Bureau. While the Assembly ultimately reached the goal that the Judiciary was seeking, i.e., a clarification of its directive to Mr. Morrow to get William Kunstler to speak here, it did so in a less than commendable manner. I was particularly angered by the attempt of some individuals to put Mr. Morrow on trial before the Assembly. While they may personally disagree with Mr. Morrow’s actions, they have absolutely no right to place him on trial. Only the Judiciary has that power, and based on the total information presented before it, it is convinced that Mr. Morrow has at no time violated the Assembly’s directive. When presented with an extremely ambiguous motion by the Assembly, he had no alternative but to act on it based on his interpretation of it. If the fault lies anywhere, it lies with the Assembly itself and its repeated inability to express itself clearly. I only hope that in the future the Assembly will conduct itself in a more organized, efficient manner and thus prevent such confusion from recurring. Larry Katz James Wiesenfeld President, ASCt' Chief Justice Student Wide Judiciary �They really lost To the Editor •ft ‘HELLO—JIMMY THE GREEK? I WANT TO GET SOME ODDS For the record concerning the firing of most of the Day Care Center staff: On Monday. 13 direct offers of jobs in the “new” center were made to two members of the staff; at the same time it became known that there were 10 staff positions in all to be filled. That evening, special delivery letters were sent to the parents, urging them to register their children by the 16th. At the end of the week, when it became clear what had happened, it was too late for an exhausted group of parents and staff to make, another effort. In the meantime, the administration had allowed all the other staff members to go through hiring interviews for their own jobs, before telling them all (except for the cook) that they would not be needed. At this point, apparently the end of an episode in the effort to maintain day care at UB, it's probably worth reflecting on the reasons why the campaign to preserve the Center would necessarily end in most of the staff members losing their jobs. In spite of the mood of torpor and disillusionment that has descended on University campuses in recent years, UB remains relatively unreconstructed. Neither fraternities nor ROTC nor football has returned, and though there are many different reasons for this, the main one is simply that on the whole they are not wanted. Although there is little activism as in the 'past, a large number of the TA’s and faculty here continue to believe in the human, anti-institutional ideals of the 60’s, and that belief helps to give UB what it has of a distinctive tone or character. Consequently, when the Center threatened to go under, the strength of the support that we found among the students, departments and even among the provosts Faculty Senate surprised almost everyone, including ourselves. It is no secret to anyone that Dr. Ketter does not share in the belief in these ideals or feel that the University has, in this sense, a character that deserves to be respected. When the Center lost its Student Association funding at the beginning of the fall semester, he assumed that it would simply disappear, and did nothing to prevent it. There followed the campaign to turn the administration around, during which the campaigners did and said a number of things which Dr. Ketter and his associates were and probably still are not very happy about. But the unforgivable part, from their point of view, was that it all seemed so unnecessary, that all the trouble had been caused solely by a small exhibitionist group of staff and parents who so Dr. Ketter indicated he had come under the influence of student thought radicals. That was not to be forgotten, and though the parents were not vulnerable, the staff members . Outside Log ine In by Clem Colucci I was passing the unemployment officfe in Washington, D.C., when I saw my former Congressman, Cadwallader Buncombe, standing in line waiting for his check. He had been turned out in November and I had not seen him since election night. “Hello, Congressman Buncombe,” I said “Good morning, my boy. Good to see you. er . . .” He tapped the shoulder of the young man in front of him. The young man turned. It was Gil, his former administrative assistant. He greeted me and whispered my name to Mr. Buncombe. “Ah yes, of course, 1 know your father well. How’s the business doing?” he asked. “Not bad, things are a bit slow, though.” “I know what you mean, my boy. The opportunities just aren’t as plentiful as they used to be. I’m having trouble deciding where to go next." “That’s why you’re in the unemployment line, right. Congressman?” “As a taxpayer myself and let me say when I was in Congress 1 did my best to see that each taxpayer’s dollar was spent wisely I think I’m entitled to the benefits while 1 take the time to be sure I don’t jump into the wrong job.” “What about the old law firm, Congressman?” He had been a partner in Buncombe, Mendacity, and Prevarication, a prominent local firm. It had started small, but after Mr. Buncombe’s years as city councilor, mayor and Congressman, it had grown to be the biggest corporate office in the area. “The other partners retired a few years back," he said. “That’s’too bad.” “Yes, but my share when they liquidated the practice helped ease the pain.” “I’m sure.” “And I can proudly say the firm never abused my position when dealing with the federal - - government.” Mr. Buncombe fell silent and went inside to pick up his check. I struck up a conversation with Gil, whom I had known before he became the Congressman’s aide. “None of the new batch need an assistant?” 1 asked “No, they came in with lOU’s to pay off. The one who beat the Bunk (Congressman Buncombe’s nickname) brought in his campaign manager,” “How about the Bunk-M What’s he going to do?” “Who knows? None of the big law firms here want him. He’s too well known. Everyone in Washington knows he's a schmuck. And he wants to stay here Potomac fever.” “What about lobbying?" “He was ranking minority member of the Joint Committee on Office Space and Suuply Allocation. No lobbyist even bothered approaching him. for a favor, let alone a job offer." “Did he try for a job in the Administration?" “Sure, he and everyone else who lost. He did have a chance to take the Ambassadorship of Nauru, but the climate would have been murder for him.” "What about back in his district?" “Nickel-and dime legal work. He was offered a partnership in a building supply company, but he didn't have the cash to make his initial investment. Besides, who wants to run a building supply firm after he's been in Congress. “No offices worth taking?" “You know better. The other party has the patronage now. There was a slim chance he could get obviously were. a vacant county judgeship, but the pay’s bad and. But those of us who have been using and frankly, the Bunk isn't judicial material." depending on the Center know that the main “He isn't too bright." contribution the staff made was not in “You said it. I didn't." demonstrating but in working extended hours in a “Just in time, too.

In a recent letter to The Spectrum , Gerald List criticized an article I wrote on the Middle East, referring to it as “a pile of assorted misrepresentations” that should have been put in the “waste-basket.” Further, 1 was charged with being “either an ignoramus, a bigot, or both” because I failed to mention the Yom Kippur War, and the “Egyptian blockade of a vital Israeli port” during the 1967 war. First, it seems strange that a man such as Mr. List, who is so interested in truth and objective journalism, would fail to mention the displacement of thousands of Palestinians from their traditional homeland upon the creation of the state of Israel. It also seems strange that Mr. List would fail to mention the continual expansion of Israel by annexing territory of neighboring Arab states. Thirdly, it seems strange that Mr. List would fail to condemn the racialist theories of Zionism, as admitted by scores of writers, including Ben-Gurion’s biographer, Michael Bar-Zohar. Objectively, Mr. List defends these acts and beliefs under the cover of charges of “misrepresentation” and bigotry. When the Zionist leaders of Israel, as differentiated from non-Zionist Jews, continually trample upon the rights and lives of a people, such as the Palestinians, for twenty years; when these same leaders and their supporters continually seize the territory of neighboring Arab states; when this same group conducts military actions against other nations and peoples in the Middle East in order to protect her previous acts; one can not condemn the reactions of those who have been violated in defending themselves. Those who are defending themselves in the Middle East are the Palestinians represented by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). And Mr. List, their just cause is recognized by the broad majority of people and nations around the world; reflected most recently in the vote to admit the PLO to United Nations meetings.

Raised in the country, Dove was greatly influenced by nature. “Clouds,” “Waterfall” and “Sunrise” were just a few of his paintings on exhibit at the Albright Knox Gallery (until March 2) that expressed that influence. Yet what was so striking about Dove’s work was his perception and ability to capture the spirit of the things he saw in the world around him. His use of pastel on linen and wax emulsion on canvas produced textures that complemented his style. his work was somewhat Although early impressionistic, his style evolved into abstraction.

Monday, 3 February 1975 TEANIS/fLIPPER GAMES/AIR HOCKEY/fOOS BALL �An improved swim team keeps breaking records This season, Buffalo’s swimming records stand only until the team’s next meet. The Bull swimmers went on to break three more last Wednesday night while defeating Canisius 73-40. Burt Zweigenhaft broke the Clark pool record in the 500-yard freestyle and Dan Winter broke his own the 1000-yard in university record freestyle. However, the top performance was that of freshman George Finelli, who continues to rewrite the record book. Finelli, a graduate of Tappen Zee High School, shaved almost three seconds off his own record in the 200-yard butterfly, which he had set only four days earlier. Remarkably, Finelli has lowered the record in five of six attempts. “This is the best team we’ve ever had,” said a happy coach, Bill Sanford after the team’s third victory in six outings. Sanford, who has coached the team for twenty-seven years, rated Finelli one of the best swimmers in the school’s history. another freshman, However Ted Brenner, holds two university records, having lowered Buffalo time standards in the backstroke and individual medley. In all this year’s squad nas set 1 1 school records. The outcome of the Canisius meet was never really in doubt. Buffalo won the first three events with the help of Cory Ciambelli’s surprisingly good performance in the 200-yard freestyle, and took a commanding 23-2 lead. Competing to their teammates’ rhythmic chants of “One-two, one-two,” the Bulls swam and dove to victory in nine of the thirteen events. Buffalo coaches Gripes over poor officiating by Paige Miller Staff Writer Bulls basketball coach Leo Richardson excels in one of America’s most popular pasttimes yelling at the referees. Never one for sitting quietly on the bench during a game, Richardson has been ejected once and has picked up six technical fouls in three Spectrum - games. The ejection came earlier this year under unusual circumstances at Cleveland State. A previous incident, in which a coach had to be wrestled off the court, prompted the director of officials in the Cleveland area to prohibit coaches from standing while the clock was running. The penalty was a technical foul. No standing zone Richardson was apparently not informed of this decision by the two game officials. He received his first technical when he stood up to shout to one of his players, something that every coach does during the course of a game. Later, after receiving his second technical for standing up, he began to yell at the officials, whereupon he received a third technical foul and was ejected. Although this is just one example, the Bulls’ coach claims the officials are out to get him. “The officiating has defeated us everywhere we went before we hit the floor,” he said, noting that only two of the team’s 15 games this season have been well officiated. “Even our officials treat us like we don’t belong. Of course, we don’t expect them to give us anything,” he remarked. “Check the other sports,” Richardson noted. “Hockey for example. They get treated like second class citizens. No one seems to have any respect for what we do.” The wrestling and swimming squads also claim to have been victims of “home jobs” this year.

The Bulls rolled past Ashland College, 37-6, and Cortland State, 33-12. However, the Syracuse Orangemen, who lost to Buffalo 49-0 two years ago, put up a tough struggle that ended in a 17-17 draw. The Syracuse match seesawed back and forth through the lower weights, but the Orange strength in the middle weights threatened to pull the contest out of the Bulls’ reach. Buffalo’s 177 pounder, Emad Faddoul, turned the tide beating Syracuse sophomore, Dan Wallon, by decision. Faddoul came close to pinning Wallon, which the Bulls needed badly. After 190 pounder Bill Bartosch lost to Paul Head in a match marked by confusion and disputed scoring, the Bulls found themselves down 17-11. Miracle worker The smalt but excitable crowd was on its feet when heavyweight Charlie Wright, the Bulls’ version of the miracle worker, took the mat against Syracuse’s Bill Brown. Buffalo’s best hope was for a tie and that would have required Wirght, still recovering from the flu, to pin the larger Brown. Brown needed only to stay off his back to give the Orangemen a stirring upset victory. Using his favorite move, the rolling headlock takedown, Wright dropped his opponent to the mat several times. This move is designed to take a man down and pin him at the same time. After failing to pin his opponent, Wright let Brown up so that he could try it again. With but three seconds left in the first period, Charlie made it work for his second pin and third win of the day. Jim Young remained undefeated at 134, beating Syracuse’s John Debiase on takedowns. Freshman Ray Pfeifer wrestled his best ever at 118, winning all three matches, including two pins. Faddoul also had a perfect 3-0 day for the Bulls. Buffalo revealed a new lineup in the opening match with Ashland. The significant changes were Ron Parker, down to 142 from 150 and Bruce Hadsell, down to 150 from 158. Wally Davis moved in tor' Hadsell’s old spot. The squad seemed considerably strengthened by these adjustments. Any VW (no matter how old) can be checked out completely on our computer.

A long, loud, often incomprehensible debate lasting nearly two hours resulted in Assembly approval of a divided motion: 1 to make Mr. Kunstler a top priority and direct Student Association (SA) President Frank Jackalone to instruct Speakers’ Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow to procure Mr. Kunstler’s services, and 2- to refrain from setting a price ceiling and let Mr. Morrow negotiate with Mr. Kunstler. If they cannot reach an agreement, Mr. Morrow must report to the Assembly, which will then set a price ceiling for further negotiations. What this means, according to Assembly members, is the following: 1 The Assembly wants Mr. Kunstler to speak here before anyone else, and 2 The Assembly directs Mr. Morrow, through Mr. Jackalone, to negotiate an engagement for Mr. Kunstler, and 3 Mr. Morrow is allowed to bargain on the price, and 4 Mr. Morrow is empowered, though not obligated, to sign Mr. Kunstler if he - - -~ — - thinks the price is reasonable, and If, after negotiating in good faith, 5 Mr. Morrow does not think the price is reasonable, or if he wishes to let the Assembly decide what is reasonable, he must report to the Assembly next — Wednesday. If Mr. Morrow and Mr. Kunstler have reached a verbal agreement and have not signed a contract, the Assembly can decide whether to sign Mr. Kunstler at the agreed price. If they have not reached an agreement, the Assembly will tell Mr. Morrow how much SA is willing to pay (up to the $3,500 remaining in the Speakers’ Bureau budget) and Mr. Morrow must present that figure to Mr. Kunstler on a take-it-or-leave-it basis. Scott’s scolding When the Assembly settled the issue, began to leave, prompting Executive Vice President Scott Salimando to scold the Assembly for walking out on the discussion of the proposed SA constitution, which comes up for a vote with the mandatory fee question in the referendum February 5, 6 and 7. The Assembly agreed to recess the meeting many members until 3 p.m. today. In other business, the Assembly approved three nominations by Mr. Jackalone to fill vacancies on the Finance Committee. Mindy Lubber, Steve Smith and Perry Schustak were confirmed after brief debate. Mr. Salimando and Assembly member Steve Laub informed the Assembly that President Robert Ketter had refused to alter the present spring vacation schedule to correspond with the Passover and Easter holidays The Assembly unanimously passed a resolution condemning Dr. Ketter for allegedly taking into account only the opinions of faculty and administrators in reaching his decision. Mr. Jackalone urged Assembly members to work to insure passage of the mandatory student fee. He warned against complacency, saying he believed the fee would suffer a narrow defeat if voted on immediately. Profit? Not for rofit ? b taxes Excessive rumor denied by IRC Inter-Residence Council (IRC) representatives have denied rumors that IRC Business (1RCB) faces excessive financial penalties and must pay back taxes because of its failure to file for non-profit status with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) since 1970. Previous IRCB Boards of Directors did not keep accurate records and were not aware that they had to file IRS form 990E to request non-profit status, Mr. Weber explained. As a profit-making corporation, then, IRCB should have paid S3800 to the IRS as withholdings from employees salaries. After the present Board of Directors took otfice in April, 1974, it discovered the oversight and decided to have the financial and bookkeeping “mess left to them, by their predecessors” cleared up by March, 1975. Legal Counsel Jack Geller has advised Mr. Weber that the IRS will most likely be lenient with the case, and that any penalties levied will not be excessive. Final word, however, will not come until mid-March, and until then, “a lot of possibilities still exist,” Mr. Weber stated. Mr. Geller’s advice was based on the treatment that IRS has afforded similar situations in the past. Public inspection IRCB’s first action was to retain a Buffalo accounting firm to draw “writeups” (financial statements, but not official audits) based on up whatever records they could salvage from previous years. The reports detailing IRC’s financial status for each month during the four year are now available for public inspection in IRC’s Main Campus period office in Goodyear Hall. Copies of these statements have been given to the IRS, Mr. Weber said, and IRC has thrown itself “on the mercy wof the IRS,” on the assumption that the IRS will sympathize with people who “turn themselves in.” He believes the Board of Directors has displayed “a clear intent to clean up” its tax status, and although stiff penalties may be imposed, he feels the fines will not be excessive. As of now, all the necessary forms have been filed with the IRS, Mr. Weber emphasized, and as a expressed non-profit corporation, IRCB is no longer subject to social security taxes. Additionally, any profit made by IRCB is put back into the corporation, he explained. - - Mr. Weber attributed the entire problem to the fact that there is less “continuity of control” in IRC than in the Student Association (SA) or Sub-Board, where there are a few full-time people employed. Parking problems continue Once again the familiar complaint is echoing where, can one find a through the parking fields parking space? — The parking problem has been most apparent on the Main Street Campus. Robert Hunt, Director of the Office of Environmental Health and Safety, estimated that there are between 16 and 20 thousand registered vehicles for only five thousand available parking places in the Main Street lots. Since some of these spaces are reserved for faculty and staff, only 3300 remain for students. The University had experimented with open Since the project was abandoned, the advisory committee has never reconvened. A major difficulty is that “each faction looks for its own privilege,” which hampers the constructive efforts of the whole, Mr. Hunt said. Some observers feel that open parking at the Amherst Campus is simply another attempt at the same idea, but Mr. Hunt countered that the situation on the North Campus is different. “The lots are so far away from everything, it doesn’t make a difference,” he said. parking two years ago, when both faculty and student parking lots were run on a first come, first serve basis. The idea, Mr. Hunt recalled, was proposed by a faculty-student-staff advisory committee that was set up to investigate the problem. Parking elsewhere He feels that more indirect solutions to the parking problem will have to be found. Some of his suggestions include students parking their cars at Unfortunately, the project was a failure, according to Mr. Hunt, who said “the situation wasn’t any better even after the switch.” Faculty and staff complained they could not find spaces because students would come early and fill up the lots. Elder staff members refused to walk the longer distances from car to office. Most students seemed to appreciate the change, but it was generally felt that even an open parking system would not alleviate the basic lack of available The University had considered renting parking lots at various off-campus locations for commuter students and busing them to the three campuses, Mr Hunt remarked. He admitted, however, that th< space. Ridge Lea, or utilizing the excess parking space at Amherst and riding the buses to Main Street. University budget would provide no funds for such an operation. The University is unwilling to tamper with present facilities at Main Street because of the projected move to the North Campus. In fact, long range plans call for the conversion of many lots on the Main Campus into grass parks. �Ketter announces recess unchanged President Robert Ketter announced Monday that the Spring Recess would not be changed from March 8—21 to March 22—31 to coincide with the Easter-Passover holiday period. Members of the Jewish Student Union (JSU) had been campaigning since last May to change the 1975 Academic Calendar. In a letter to JSU President Steven Laub, President Ketter said that “numerous persons” felt any amendment to the calendar would be “disruptive both to individual and collective plans that had already been made.” He assured Mr. Laub, however, that in the future, “whenever Passover and Easter fall close together, and the recess can be scheduled so that a minimum of four weeks remain afterward in the semester for instructional purposes,” the calendar will be arranged for the convenience of the observers of both holidays. Additionally, the University will continue to excuse any student from class, without penalty, who wishes to observe a religious holy day, Dr. Ketter indicated. ore lights Preventive measures reduce campus rapes entrances on both the ground and plaza levels. “For the size of this campus, fortunate that there are so we are few rapes,” Mr. Griffin said. At College and State Syracuse University, the problem is more serious. Buffalo Most complaints are currently directed against exhibitionists in Harriman and Lockwood libraries. The problem had previously been aggravated by poorly lit walkways ana hitchhiking in front of Norton Hall. of the reason for the decline despite the rising national rates, is the additional lighting that has been installed along the walkway from Hayes Hall to Main Street, a former hazard zone.

Circulation average: Page tvyo,. The Spectrum friday, 31 . Noel Neill, Lois Lane of Superman fame, appeared before a packed crqwd in the Fillmore Room Tuesday wearing the “same tacky suit” in which millions saw her on the old TV show. She played one of the old TV episodes, helped volunteers act out a scene and answered questions from the audience. The nostalgia buffs in the crowd had a great evening. In the episode of Superman that Ms. Neill showed, Lois, traveling in Africa, accidently becomes the owner of a sacred scarab. When a local tribe sees her wearing it they mistake her for a long lost goddess, and plan to kidnap the Daily Planet Superman. The principal actors received $200 per show, the secret weapon used by the “mole man” in one show turned out to be an Electrolux vacuum cleaner, and the reason the Daily Planet reporters never carried notebooks when covering stories is probably because the studio was anxious to save the 39 cents. When Superman married Lois Lane, they were lowered in a bathysphere, supposedly to the bottom of the ocean. But in the middle of a shot out of the porthole, a goldfish swam by and spoiled the illusion. Ms. Neill said she was originally from Minneapolis and was acting around when she was reporter. A foreigner, presumably a Turk, steals it from her, but Lois doesn't get away that easily. The tribe gets hold of her and enthrones her in a chamber which immediately begins filling with a poisonous incense. If she is really a goddess, they rationalize, the fumes won't hurl her. Superman enters in the nick of time, of course to rescue her and the show ends happily. Planetary gossip When the lights went back on, Ms. Neill answered questions from the audience: No, she isn't employed now. she's just a beach bum and part time housewife. She doesn't receive any payments for the current reruns of Superman because none of the actors' contracts called for residuals beyond the fourth rerun. She and Jack Larsen (Jimmy Olsen) both received their last residual check in l c )60.

Vote scheduled Proposed SA constitution to separate budget, legislation by John A. Fink Staff Writer Spectrum yjfcfc 7975 State allotment will avoid budget deficit Most of the anticipated deficit in the University budget of nearly $400,000 will be filled by the University’s annual budget allotment from the State. Ed Doty, Vice President for Operations and Systems, said that the University’s share of a special $4.2 million allotment to the SUNY system in Governor Hugh Carey’s budget, intended to tide the SUNY schools over until the end of the fiscal year, will be enough to prevent a deficit here. President Robert Ketter told the Faculty Senate in early December that he anticipated a $390,000 deficit in the University budget this year and said the University would request additional funds from the State Legislature. If these funds were not forthcoming, he told the Senate, the University savings account would be used to overcome the deficit. Dr. Ketter also reported at the time that he was “shocked” to find that two units of the University had spent all their allotted money, except for personnel funds, fully four months before the end of the fiscal year Both Dr. Ketter and Mr. Doty have refused to identify those units. Dr. Ketter attributed the expected deficit to the increased cost of heating, oil, electricity, and telephone service and to the added cost of expanded inter-campus bus service. Mr. Doty explained that at the time Dr. Ketter made his remarks to the Senate, Governor Carey had not submitted a budget and Dr. Ketter had no way of knowing what the SUNY allotment would be. Mr. Doty pointed out that , the University must still await finalization of the Governor’s Executive Budget, which will recommend specific appropriations for this University, and final approval of the State budget by the Legislature, which could conceivably cut the SUNY allotment. Although this year’s deficit allotment is expected to be somewhat higher than last year’s, Mr. Doty felt it was “very unlikely the budget will allow for increases in real costs.” Despite this, he believed the University would get along “reasonably comfortably” for the next few years. The estimated cost of utilities for the current fiscal year is $2,747,000, which includes $295,000 for natural gas, $263,000 for coal, $98,000 for oil, $290,000 for water and sewage, and $1,800,000 for electricity. The original $279,000 estimate for intra-campus busses will be supplemented with another $92,000 because University planners underestimated the volume of traffic between campuses. Mr. Doty observed that when the 1974-75 budget was planned during the summer of 1973, it was assumed that most of those living on the North Campus would have all their classes on that campus. “This turned out to be a wild assumption,” he explained, and service had to be increased during peak traffic hours. Mr. Doty did not foresee any cutbacks in academic programs, but said that they may not be what some people had hoped for in terms of expansion. Additionally, he said that construction on the Amherst Campus and the redoing of the Main Street Campus to accommodate health sciences and graduate studies will proceed according to schedule. The total University expenditure is about $115 million. The future of a newly-drafted Student Association (SA) constitution, designed to revive the effectiveness of student government on this campus, will be decided along with the mandatory activity fee in a referendum on February 5, 6 and 7. Under the new guidelines, the Executive Committee and the Student Assembly will be divided into six units; Executive Committee; Senate; Financial Assembly; Academic Affairs Task force; Student Affairs Task Force and Activities and Services Task Force, The major change provides for two separate ■legislative and budget-making bodies, the Senate and Financial Assemblies. The Senate will deal with all non-budgetary policy matters while the budget will be the sole responsibility of the Financial Assembly. will have three representatives on the Academic 1 ask Force, one voting and two non-voting. The SATF is open to any student who attends two meetings. The ASTF will be a coalition of all interest groups on campus, headed by ten elected and five appointed representatives. Recall Another change deals with the recall procedure for elected officers. Presently, all that is needed to impeach an officer is a petition signed by at least 10 percent of the student body. If the new constitution is adopted, charges against the officer and reasons for removal must be included on the petition and validated by the Student Judiciary. Also, only 5 percent of the student body must sign the petition. In addition, the new constitution contains a Book of Rules, which simplifies the amendment process. Instead of requiring an absolute three-fifths Own assembly The Constitutional Reform Committee felt that since the budget consumes so much time and attracts so much attention, it merits an assembly of its own. “A lot of people join the Assembly just to have their say on the budget and then don’t show up when anything else is being discussed,” said Bruce Lange, head of the Constitutional Reform Committee. The second major change is the establishment of three task forces with separate areas of responsibility. Each task force will be like a “miniature assembly,” Mr. Lange pointed out. They will not have any legislative power, but will be able to bring legislation to the Senate. Mr. Lange said the constitutional revision will hopefully improve the efficiency of student government. Any body as large as the present Assembly (116 members) could never look into any issue in depth, he observed. “Maybe we’ll be able to do something now.” New Exec Comm are ten elected officers Committee and two at Presently, there Executive on the large representatives from the Assembly. Under the proposed constitution, the Executive daytime will be elected by all Committee undergraduate students and will consist of a President, Executive Vice President, Vice President for Sub-Board I, Inc., Treasurer and three new officers: Director of Student Affairs, Director of Academic Affairs and Director of Student Activities and Services. The present coordinator positions will thus be consolidated into these three directorates. Three at large representatives will also sit on the Executive Committee. Both the Academic Affairs Task Force (AATF) and the Student Affairs Task Force (SATF) will select ten officers each to represent them. The third an Activities and Services Task Force (ASTF) will be headed by ten students elected at large by the student body and five divisional representatives that it selects. Each of the three task forces will be further divided into four standing committees: three to the Financial Committee; three to the Rules and Operations committee; three to the Personnel and Appointments Committee and one to the Executive Committee. The five divisional representatives of the ASTF will go to any of the standing committees. — — Senators The Senate will be composed of 42 members 35 from the three task forces combined and seven officers from the Executive Committee. The Financial Assembly will be comprised of 27 members; all from the Activities and Services Task Force. In addition, there will be a Financial Priorities Committee (FPC) which will work out priorities before the budget hearings begin. The FPC will conduct surveys of student opinion and interview organizations requesting funds. They will then report to the Financial Assembly. There are different requirements for membership on each task force. Each academic club — —Fagenson Bruce Lange of all Assembly members, a Book of Rules amendment will require only a 2/3 majority of those constitutional amendments present. However, will still require the absolute 3/5 vote. The Book of Rules also contains Statutes, which include a concise summary of legislation that has been passed. “There’s no point in the Student Association passing something if it’s not going to do something about it or keep its word. That’s the whole idea behind the Statutes,” Mr, Lange remarked. vote More involvement Mr. Lange hopes the new constitution will be passed in the referendum, because he feels it will involve more interested and qualified people in the decisions which affect them. He said the present system puts “the cart before the horse” since people make decisions first and become interested later. “The present system is too loosely structured and doesn’t work. We need a new If the new constitution passes the February referendum, it will take effect next fall. Until then, the current Student Assembly will still operate, but the upcoming SA elections will be for the new offices. The constitution will be included in the referendum, Mr. Lange said because “it’s too large an issue for just the Assembly to vote on and it would be strange for the Assembly to vote itself out of existence.” } Friday, 31 January 1975 The Spectrum .

Speakers Bur Mr. Moore said the local Labor Party, which claims 60 to 70 members in the Buffalo-Toronto-Syracuse area, plans to send delegations of cnemployed workers to the offices of State Assemblyman Arthur Eve (D.-Bflo.) and other area legislators in an attempt to enlist support. The EAPA bill demands that government financing come not from “taxation on workers or another diminution of working class incomes.” Sources of the $55 billion in government loans to farmers, according to Labor Party literature, should instead include a one percent tax on total loans and investments of large commercial banks, a 0.6 percent tax on total assets of life insurance companies, and a one percent tax on the turnover of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The Labor Party claims that the current rate of U S. tractor production, an essential part of the EAPA plan, can be increased 20 times to 5 million units yearly within three to six months after automobile plants begin conversion to tractor production. Mr. Moore said the EAPA proposals seek to deal with the “international monetary control” of vice-president Nelson Rockefeller, which Labor Party literature says manipulates markets and causes shortages resulting in world-wide famine and plague. “We see what’s going on now as a crime of mass murder,” Mr. Moore said, citing starvation in Bangladesh and decreased fertilizer production in the United States as illustrations. The immediate problem of the EAPA bill is a lack of Congressional sponsorship. Sen. Herman Talmadge (D.—Ga.), head of the Senate Agricultural Committee, is one target of Labor Party lobbying.

The recent defeats should “decrease this by Joseph P. Esposito Contributing Editor arbitrary “The seniority system has been uprooted to a significant extent, and it will never be the same again.” That is the evaluation of recent Congressional reforms by James A. Stimson, Political Science Professor at this University. The author of a forthcoming book entitled Yeas and Nays: formal Decision-Making in the US. House of Representatives Dr. Stimson attributes the defeat of veteran committee chairmen to “a fusion of the ongoing reform movement in the House in both political parties and the infusion of a large number of freshmen Congressmen” who usually vote , for reform. Three committee chairmen have been deposed in the weeks since the 435 Representatives returned to Washington for the opening session of the 94th Congress. F. Edward Hebert, a Louisiana Democrat, was defeated in his bid for re-election as chairman of the House Armed Services Committee by Melvin Price (D.-Illinois). It was Rep. Hebert who addressed the 75 new Democratic members ofthe house as “boys and girls.” Reuss replaces Patman Wright Patman, an 81-year-old Texan who has served in Congress longer than any current member, was replaced as chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee by Wisconsin Democrat Henry Another Texan, W.R. Reuss. Poage, lost his chairmanship of the Agriculture Committee to Thomas Foley (D.—Washington). Congressman Wilbur Mills (D.—Arkansas), once the most powerful man in Congress, lost his and Ways Means Committee to A1 Ullman chairmanship (D.-Oregon), largely as a result of alcoholism and public appearances with stripper his admitted Fannie Foxe. the Ohio Wayne Hays, Democrat who chairs the House Administration Committee and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, survived a to his House challenge Administration stewardship from Frank Thompson (D.—New power,” Dr. Stimson stressed. “It is wrong to believe that reform is new this year,” Dr. Stimson went on. “Reform has been going on since 1958,” and there has been more continuous Congressional reform over the last six years than in other is because institutions. Further reform explained, “there are 7 5 Democratic members who have no stake in the current system.” But “the procedural reforms likely, he won’t have much to do with the of Congress,” Dr. Stimson said, since Congress has responsiveness been responsive to the people of the nation. He therefore ddfes not foresee any “significant policy changes as a result of the current reforms, but more likely, as a result of last year’s election.” always Balance to liberals Because the balance of power has shifted the House in temporarily in a liberal direction since the 1974 election and Watergate, Dr. Stimson expects a the between greater balance the Executive Congress and Branch. He believes that any “boost in public esteem for Congress will be and insignificant temporary compared to the great esteem gained for the Congress by the House performance of the Judiciary Committee in last year’s impeachment hearings.” Southerners still have a slightly disproportionate influence in the House despite the losses of the committee chairmanships. However, Dr. Stimson believes that the Southern influence will continue to decline, and that the events of 1975 have only accelerated a process that was already underway. The reasons for this continued are the he added, decline, concentration of Democratic “safe” seats in the urban North and Midwest, and little-noticed changes in retirement the Congressional which system, encourages senior members to retire earlier with good pensions. “The real power behind the the Congressional reforms is Democratic Study Group,” Dr. Stimson The emphasized. freshman class often ratifies Study Group-initiated reforms. nationally-recognized A authority on Congress, Dr. Stimson also views the downfall of Wilbur Mills as the event that triggered the defeat of the other chairmen. “Mills was a keystone of the seniority system,” he explained. “He made the existing system look acceptable because of his competence in the job.” Dr. Stimson anticipates that the powerful Ways and Means Committee will produce a greater under legislation flow of Chairman Ullman, who is more likely to delegate authority than his predecessor. The Committee reviews key issues like taxes, health care, and social security. Reuss more competent A year ago, Dr. Stimson predicted the (ikelihood of Wright Patman losing his chairmanship. He contends that Rep. Patman was a target of the reformers because he was incompetent and was “never effective in personal politics.” A populist foe of banking interests, Rep. Patman was known for his failure to become an effective legislative leader. For this the reason, Banking Committee has been run by a coalition of conservatives favorable to the banking industry, Stimson indicated. The Dr. Committee may move in a liberal direction because Rep. Reuss, who has promised quick action on economic matters, is a “more competent Congressman.” Dr. Stimson explained that Rep. Hebert was defeated because of his ideology, while Rep. Hays was challenged because of his personality, which was considered abrasive. He expects little policy change in the Armed Services Committee because most of the other members share the same staunchly pro-military views as keep the The House Administration Committee is crucial to the office of every Congressman because it dispenses office space, supplies, staff, etc. to position chairmanship.

The inquiry is led by assistant Attorney General Kenneth R. Feinberg and aided by the Internal Revenue Service. According to an account by The New York Times: “That office reported that millions of dollars of entries in the books could not be accounted for, that payments had been made to political and other organizations and listed as ‘legal fees’ or ‘recreational expenses,’ and that $664,000 had moved through the personal bank account of Mr, Bergman’s accountant, Samuel Dachowitz.” In addition, one payment was made for the school tuition of a bookkeeper’s son, and payments for housekeeping and meat expenditures were made out to assistant administrators. Mr. Bergman also signed a check for $500 in nursing home funds, which was donated to the Steingut campaign fund. Mr. Steingut's insurance brokerage is also reported to have handled a Towers account. Nepotism alleged Mrs. Bergman, who has allegedly done no work for the Towers Homes, drew a salary of $26,000 per year as its operator. Several large checks, signed by members of the Bergman family, were entered as “Loans and exchanges,” and credited to individuals identified only as “dear friends” or by initials. The Committee’s investigation also touched New York State Law and regulations upon concerning nursing home operation. According to Medicaid and Welfare rulings, business State payments by nursing homes may be reimbursed by Medicaid, especially in a case of legitimate bankrupcy. Senator Frank E. Moss, (D., Utah) the Subcommittee’s chairman, described New York’s system of cost-based reimbursement as "enough to make defense contractors drool . . . The message the legislature has given the nursing home operator is clear: spend, spend, spend, for whatever you spend will be reimbursed with a profit.” Federal studies show that nursing home expenditures in New York varied up to 400 percent for services such as housekeeping and laundry, implying extravagance and kickbacks. However, testimonies to the of medical according professionals, nursing home patients have been neglected. “Many patients have severe, deep decubitus ulcers, commonly known as bedsores, which are infected, and may lead to infection of underlying bone, general bloodstream infection, and possibly death,” asserted Dr. Jay Dobkin, chief Medical Resident at Morisania City Hospital. Irene Jarvis, a registered nurse and former city health inspector, described cases of malnutrition, rough sheets, equipment stained with feces, and would have happened when the medication nurse came around!” she exclaimed. Anastasia Hopper, former city chief inspector of nursing homes, noted a heating failure in Towers Home in 1971 which lasted five days. She said patients were inadequately covered, and ate cold food from dishes rinsed in cold water. Mr. Bergman still claims that he has been “a target of a program of litigation and abuse from public officials, and especially the media,” which has “no parallel since the days of Senator Joseph McCarthy.” He claims to operate only two nursing homes that are “the best of their sort” in the City of New York.

Nixon has informed Senator Barry Goldwater, Rep.-Ariz., that he would like to get back into national politics to help the Republican Party, Sen. Goldwater reported Tuesday. Mr. Goldwater said he discussed the possibility with Mr. Nixon in San Clemente, California last week. Mr. Goldwater’s remarks coincided with a report from Mr. Nixon’s physician John C. Lungren that the former President was “looking physically improved” for the first time since leaving the hospital. Dr. Lungren told interviewers Mr. Nixon might be well enough by next month to travel occasionally by automobile, airplane, or helicopter. Mr. Goldwater said he had lunched with Mr. Nixon at Casa Pacifica and Mr. Nixon had “talked of his desire to get back into the political arena, not as a candidate, but as a party spokesman.” “We discussed whether he would be accepted back into the party’s affairs,” Mr. Goldwater said, “and I told him I thought he would be.” Mr. Goldwater said his mail showed “no lessening of interest in him within the party. After all, he had who voted for him.” Mr. Goldwater also said Vice President Nelson Rockefeller would have “no chance” of winning the 1976 GOP Presidential nomination if President Ford chose not to seek election to a full term. “You’d have the United effort of the conservatives in the party against him,” Mr. Goldwater said, “1 don’t think he’d have any chance at all.” Former California Governor Ronald Reagan is said to be the favorite candidate of the GOP’s right For bogie He said Mr. Nixon might try to help Republican candidates and the party generally when his health Department spokesman said the law giving Congress control over Mr. Nixon’s papers and tapes did not apply to the material Mr. Nixon seeks. permitted. “can’t walk very well.” / wing.

Predictions According to Mr. Hocevar, the AEC has used computer programs to predict possible consequences of nuclear accidents and the results of the calculations “have not been encouraging.” “We need a higher degree of confidence in computer codes to justify 3 massive campaign of development,” Mr. nuclear Hocevar maintained, since “the safety of the public is of primary importance.” The problem of nuclear energy “lies in society,” explained Rachel College representative Carson Marvin Resnikoff. Nuclear power is more than a technical problem, but a question of “who makes the decision for the utilities and public in general,” Dr. Resnikoff said. Referring to the wastes emanated from nuclear reactors, he suggested that a break in the tank at the fuel reprocessing plant in West Valley, New York could leak into Lake Erie and pollute the Buffalo water supply.

And once again, it is looking for the indispensible element upon which its effectiveness rests volunteers, CAC provides a constructive and creative outlet for students who feel that classroom training alone is confining and want to work for social change. Over the years, it has expanded to more than 50 different projects. The programs fall under six basic headings: Drug and Youth Counseling, Social Action, Education, Recreation, Health Care and Day Care. It is this diversity that has attracted so many volunteers in the past, and which CAC is counting on to help staff and organize its programs this year. The Human Sexuality Counseling Center, NYPIRG, Family Planning, the Teacher Resource Center, the Alternative Education Committee and the Self-Help Clinic are just a few of the organizations that were launched by CAC. Another CAC organization, Sunshine House, has kept up with the times by moving its focus away from drug problems exclusively. It now offers all types of counseling, including an extensive rape counseling service. The organization is always open to ideas for change and improvement, and often allows volunteers to begin any new — program they plan. Ten years have seen great strides in CAC's scope and effectiveness. With so many projects this year, there is surely enough variety to suit every kind of interest. CAC is an opportunity for those who sit around and bitch about how bad things are to do something about it. CAC presently needs volunteers badly, and is appealing to students to get involved. CAC wants you. The brand new Student Association (SA) constitution that will be voted on in the upcoming referendum represents a positive step toward rehabilitating student government. The proposal to form two smaller separate legislative and budget-making bodies is an excellent idea because it will prevent extended haggling over budgetary matters at the exclusion of pressing issues like academics and student rights, as was the case with this year's Student Assembly. Consolidating the present coordinator positions into three offices is also a worthwhile suggestion, since it will give each officer more responsibilities and prevent some of the overlap that presently occurs. Establishing three task forces should also help SA specialize in Academic Affairs, Student Affairs and Activities and Services areas that can easily get lost in the mire of SA bureaucracy without a clear and distinct — focus. Although somewhat confusing, the new constitution addresses the causes of much of SA's current paralysis, and deserves the support of the student body on Feb. 5, 6, and Larry Kraftowltz — Managing Editor Amy - Dunkm Michael O’Neill Managing Editor Gerry McKeen Advertising Manager — — .

Friday, 31 January 1975 . To the Editor. As the past Chairman of the Association (SA) Speakers’ Bureau, it is interesting to view the present actions of the Student Assembly regarding its desire to have attorney William Kunstler speak on campus in a program to be sponsored by the SA Speakers’ Bureau. Once again, the Student Assembly has wound itself up into SA’s internal affairs-and prevented itself from dealing with more pertinent matters. At a time when Governor Carey is considering a tuition and room hike, the Faculty-Senate is debating a five-course load, students are being denied due process on campus, the Student Assembly is dilly-dallying with speakers when it should be studying more pressing issues. It is important for the Speakers’ Bureau Chairman Assembly to act independently from the Student for the sole reason that he must be free interest group pressures in developing a well-rounded program. Throughout the year, many groups come to the Speakers’ Bureau requesting a speaker. In order to create a sense of fairness for all make any the Chairman must not groups, commitment to these interest groups or show Give us Kunstler To the Editor. A recent The Spectrum editorial has brought to the attention of its readers here at the Legal Aid Clinic the lack of colorful and diverse speakers being brought to this campus. The Speakers’ Bureau recent presentation of Lois Lane and its future engagement with Ronald Regan is surely a “slap in the face” of the socially conscious-minded UB student. Even more, it is outrageous to offer Bill Kunstler a “conservative” $500 for a possible speaking engagement while the “very controversial” Ronald Regan might receive $3,000 for his inappropriate presence on this campus. To forego the debate whether Lois Lane is more charismatic, or Ronald Regan more sincere is not our point. The fact is that an trial with many intense . . f favoritism to one speaker over another. Although the Assembly is a coalition of interest groups, the closeness of the vote directing Mr. Morrow to establish Mr. Kunstler as a priority indicates the possibility of other interest group coalition demands. The Student Assembly, which allocates student monies and approves Presidential appointments, in making the Kunstler acted appropriately suggestion to Mr. Morrow, but to direct that a specific action be taken is not within the realm of its jurisdiction. The Student Association directs the Speakers’ Bureau Chairman to develop the program. It says nothing of the approval by the Student Assembly of each of the programs. The action of the Student Wide Judiciary the restraining Speakers’ Bureau Chairman disregarded Student Association procedures. Student Association and the Student Assembly operate under Robert’s Rules of order. These rules clearly state that once work by a specific committee such as Speakers’ Bureau has been authorized, the allocating body cannot have the committee’s direction changed. Mr. Morrow, therefore, is correct in his actions under the procedures of the Student Association. Bob Burrick connotations on American society is talking place here in Buffalo. Bill Kunstler can offer a firsthand account of this event. Surely the cries of the Attica Brothers’ story has more relevance than Superman. Attica is an event that involves such questions as the myth of equality under the law, the inhumane treatment of fellow humans in prisons, and exposes to us the extremes that the state will reach in keeping the law and order. We are somewhat disillusioned and most definitely bored with the Speakers’ Bureau’s choice of what they believe are appropriate and exciting speakers. Please don’t do us the favor. But definitely give us a colorful and dynamic speaker that we see in Bill Kunstler, and let him tell us his outrageous experiences with the American legal system, the protectorate of American Society. The Student Legal Aid Clinic Morrow to make Mr. Kunstler a priority on the list of this semester’s prosepctive speakers. This was 1 would like to respond to The Spectrum’s clearly demonstrated to me by the fact that as of last January 29th articles and editorial which 1 feel Monday, Mr. Morrow’s office had never directly misrepresented me on every level, from my spoken to Mr. Kunstler but had only spoken to affiliation with NYP1RG (I’m an assistant director of unreliable intermediaries in their efforts to obtain CAC) to my views on Lois Lane and Moe Howard him. speaking on campus. “If they are so convinced that While this may seem to The Spectrum to be a Lois Lane’s appearance on this campus last night was condemnation of Mr. Morrow and his “fundamental a waste of money, how do they account for the fact awareness of important issues,” to me it is simply a disagreement as to whether or not he did or did not that the program sold out in three hours?” If any member of The Spectrum had bothered comply with the Assembly’s directive. That is why I to interview me, they might have found out that I idealistically believed that the best place to resolve too “believe that Mr. Kunstler’s appearance here this issue was to go before the Assembly, the would be especially relevant and worthwhile in light representatives of the students. I’m only sorry that of the ongoing Attica trials,” and not as a my actions as a student and assembly member in condemnation of Lois Lane. It is for this reason and trying to get the Assembly to “clearly express itself’ not as “a special interest group representative trying was interpreted as trying to dictate to Mr. Morrow to appoint myself as an arbiter of taste and cultural and the rest of the student body as to who should exposure for this University” that I, as a student speak on campus. with an opinion, tried to respond to Mr. Morrow and Perhaps what will come out of this experience is Student Association’s plea for student input in the the formation, as suggested in The Spectrum , of a selection of speakers. This was especially important more adequate means of deciding upon whom we, as to me because as a student assembly member, as well mandatory fee payers, are supporting to speak on as a member of a “special interest group,” I felt that campus. the Speakers’ Bureau had not adequately fulfilled the Student Assembly resolution directing Mr. Gloria Pruzan Assistant Director, CAC To the Editor Friday, 31 January 1975 Editor-in-Chief . Thorough misrepresentation The Spectrum Vol. 25, No VIETNAM A free hand from A new constitution Arts 'ANYONE CARE TO GIVE AGAIN TO �New Buffalo Folk Festival a flawed success by Mike McGuire and Steven Milligram Spectrum Music Reviewers One of the most unique concerts to be held recently in Buffalo came here Sunday, under the alias of the New Buffalo Folk Festival. In reality the "festival" was Mitchell Feinman, John Prine, and David Bromberg. The concert got underway almost an hour late because of uncertainty about the status of David Bromberg (he wasn't in Buffalo yet). The crowd that almost filled Harvey and Corky's Century Theater took the delay in good spirits, and their hour-long mill was broken only by the announcement that Mitchell Feinman was on. Mitch is a local whose non-appearance at UUAB events can only be described as an oversight on the part of someone or other. He gave an excellent, tight while at-east performance of originals and borrowings. His guitar work was hard to find fault with with some very nice strums reminiscent of Cat Stevens, and a voice fitted to agonizing over the blues (although it was rarely tested). Beginning with his "Don't Go Home," he went into "Tonight" and hit a high point with "Eastern Seaboard Blues," a song about staying on the east coast while his lover went west (she never returned). Then he did the unlikely a superb interpretation of Dylan's "Just Like A Woman." Two softer originals, "Waiting For Love" and "Twenty Years More" led to a bluegrass version of Taj Mahal's "Ain't Nobody's Business But My Own." He closed with a bluesy version of the Beatle's "The Night Before," only to be called back for an encore of his own "Why I Smile Today." — - — Redundant The only thing that kept Mitch from being received ecstatically was a certain sense of monotony in his playing, the repetition of the same strum for virtually all the songs. We might have enjoyed him more had there been some diversity in this, but he still is very good and definitely someone worth hearing. After a short story turned long by the MC of poor David's (Bromberg) troubles, there was another intermission, in which the MC promised to talk to John (Prine) about doing an acoustic set (music protocol demands that the top billed play last). And then, John Prine. Prine was the first of the redneck country leftists, and in fact had a minor hit with "Your Flag Decal Won't get You Into Heaven Anymore" (which he didn't play). In his voice, guitar playing, and stage manner, he reminds one of a country western Dylan. Prine played a nice acoustic set that was marred by a shitty sound system (take note H&C) and our seats in Hippie Heaven. Prine also appeared to have had the proverbial one beer too many under his belt. As a friend put it, the thought of headlining a folk festival made Prine overcompensate for the stress. Standouts of the acoustic set were "Illegal Smile," which drew massive applause, "Spanish Pipedream," the opener, "Hello In There," and "Sam Stone," about a junkie veteran (. . . "there's a hole in daddy's arm/ where all the money goes/ Jesus Christ died for nothing I suppose . . ."). Ban the band Then his band came out, to our eventual dismay. There was something wrong, something magnifying the poor sound system. Besides the intolerable volume, the major difficulty appeared to be Prine's guitarist Aden Roth. Although Bromberg would tell us later that he has great respect for Roth, his playing could charitably be called overzealous (sorry, just a bad night). The set with the band soured some of Prine's better songs, notably "Angel From Montgomery," "Pretty Good," "Caught in the Act," and "Saddle in the Rain." After another intermission, which we spent waiting one hour for popcorn (without the butter), this time with inspired waiting music, David Bromberg finally made it in. David's troubles began when he tried to catch a plane from New York to Buffalo, only to find out after several delays that the Buffalo airport was closed. He finally made it in to Rochester and drove here. David got in somewhere around midnight, and immediately proceeded to steal the show, faulty sound system, faulty guitar, overly-contemplative crowd, et al. Country Zappa? Bromberg (read nice Jewish boy from Tarry town makes good) is one of the finer musicians in the business today. He's rounded up an excellent group: Evan/Stover (fiddle), Steve Mosley (drums), Peter Ecklund (horns), Billy Novick (reeds) and Greg Jackson (bass). His music is blessed with excellent arrangements, often improvised bnthe spot, and the saving grace of a fine sense of humor. His leadership of the group is like a low-key country version of Zappa and his Mothers; we later learned that they have absolutely no idea what songs they'll do on stage ahead of time and decide it all by David's mood. Bromberg also has humility and often lets the spotlight fall on other members of the band. Much of the set consisted of brilliant improvisations taking off from their songs. "Hard Working John" opened the set and gave a change for fine work on trumpet (Ecklund), sax (Novick), and fiddle (Stover). Other standouts were the melancholy "The Joke's On Me," the sarcastic "Gotta Suffer to Sing the Blues," "Sharon," and a medley of jug band tunes. An encore gave us a new song called "Nobody's," about a now-defunct New York bar where would-be music stars gathered. Besides Bromberg's dazzling guitar work, Stover provoked delight with great fiddle work, and Novick on reeds gave hints of what Neal Cassady might have been like if he was a musician. Backstage buffet After the concert, Bromberg was backstage, giving off ambivalent vibrations of having had a good concert but being too worn out to be in good spirits. He walked around wearily, begging off from going to a party since he wanted to crash out so he could catch an early flight to L.A. to do some vocals for his next album. He didn't really consider his music rock or folk and just tried not to do music intensely, or even think about it so. He'd always liked country, and he had no trouble integrating it with rock/folk. He told everyone he was looking for a second fiddler as he turned down drink and food. We spoke with Evan Stover for a while, trying to atone for all the reviewers who never talk to anyone but the "star." He seemed happy and talked for a while despite being dead and tired. He liked what he was doing, but somehow he didn't think the group and David were catching on like they had hoped, and it was getting David down. David was tired of being thought of as a Dylan lackey (he played on New Morning) and was trying hard for a separatejttentity which no one would grant him. The band never worrW about whether its stuff was political or not, commerical or not; they just let things flow and usually liked what came out. Maybe the next album will give David a name of his own. He certainly deserves it. Hot English bands forestall 'tin ears' This town hasn't had a good concert in quite a while and was probably developing tin ears.

The group also did a rendition of Yankee Doodle on flutes by was the date and Kleinhans the place as hundreds stormed in for this new genesis. After all, Alvin Lee and Co. with Gentle Giant as second billing is nothing to sneeze four of the members. And would you believe an electric violin? Ray Shulman performed a fantastic solo number on this instrument, climaxed with the effects of a strobe light. The crowd simply went wild and loved every minute. It was truly an at. electrifying experience. The crowd was typical of Buffalo: a few glitter freaks, some stud types, and a dash of morons all dispersed in a sea of faces. Although most people were there to cultivate their musical tastes, a few just came because it was something to do. (How else do you describe someone who thought Alvin Lee and Co. performed ''motorcycle rock?" Since when is ignorance bliss! Hot start After a terse Illustration of the exquisite acoustics provided by those hallowed halls, Gentle Giant came on stage. Following a countdown stunt, they opened their set with the majestic piece, "Proclamation." Even though it was the first number, the group really began getting into their music. As the crowd sensed this, it grew more receptive with each rhythmic burst until everyone was mesmerized. And to keep us within their spell, "Aspiration" was played Its haunting vocals and caressing riffs next. music." After Ten Years After Moving on to different and better (?) things brings us the topic of Alvin Lee. Once the masterful guitarist of Ten Years After, he has now followed the paths of numerous other artists, "making his own seemed to float right through my head. Kerry Minnear was fantastic in his white cello solo and the crowd simply ate it up. Now they were really warming up. Performing from an LP never released here {In The Glass House] Gentle Giant played up a storm. A synthesizer solo in the dark along with a slapstick comedy routine between the guitarist (Gary Green) and keyboard player (Kerry Minnear) were just a few of the highlights. But the ultimate experience of their set still to come. Not until they performed some of the best material from Octopus was their full musical excellence evident. The phenomenal guitaring of Garry Green on his three guitars followed by a little was Such was the case at this concert. Casually walking on stage, Alvin Lee and Co. were certainly a sight to behold. Just looking at this eight member band made one wonder what old Alvin was up to. We sure found out soon enough. Starting with "Got To Keep Moving," the crowd immediately began bopping to its nice heavy bass rhythm. But it stopped here. Alvin was doing his soul gig and the crowd just didn't buy it. Noted for his stompin' screamin' boogie numbers, Alvin was now into rhythm and blues. One disillusioned fa_oJ<ept screaming, "Let's go back to Woodstock!" But Alvin Lee copped out. Instead he bestowed upon us some profound words: "They're living in the past. What's gone is gone, and what's cornin' is cornin'." This really shook the crowd. Here he was telling them, ever so politely, that this is where it's at or else to fuck off. The remainder of his set was flooded with shouts and murmurs from the crowd. I think he got the message Coin' home? Don't get me wrong. His performance was pretty good, but far from great. Alvin stood there in his forceful manner with full mastery of his guitar. That lucious husky voice of his was right in tune, adding pure pulsating power to the music. Ian Wallace was pretty fierce on the drums, and Mel Collin really zipped around playing the sax. So what was missing? No body chemistry. The audience was on a completely different wavelength than the band. However it did respond to a few rather nice numbers like the slow mystic melody of "Freedom For the Stallion" and the positive vibes in "Money Honey." The blues-boogie lick machine finally broken down and taken Alvin with it. But perhaps he'll take the hint start goin' back home. Right now, going nowhere. — has Lee and he's Sue l/Vos �Coffeehouse presents bluegrass weekend Get out your spoons (for playing not eating). The UB Coffeehouse is again in session in Cafeteria 118, Norton Hall. Tonight, the foot stomping music of Bjlly Hamilton and the Bluegrass Almanac will fill the cafeteria with music and people. Billy and his boys are a popular favorite here on campus. The group consists of Billy Hamilton on mandolin, Dave Sada, banjo, Lee Fullerton, bass, Dick Menn, guitar and Andy Hamilton, vocals. All of the men are on the faculty or staff of this campus. And tomorrow night, Jean Ritchie! The youngest of 14 children, Jean was born and raised in Viper, Kentucky, in the heart of the southern Appalachian mountains. Walled in by the rugged Cumberland ridgos, the Ritchies continued to farm using primitive methods, and entertained themselves by playing party games, ballads and love plaints handed down through the generations from their Scottish, English and Irish ancestors. Although changing times have caught up with the people of the mountains, folk still love to sing the old songs. The New York Times says: "Jean Ritchie is one of the finest authentic traditional folk singers we have in the U.S. today!" Ms. Ritchie's latest book. Celebration of Life, has won a national prize. Her biography appears in several books, most noteworthy, in Who's, Who of American Women. There have been many more accolades bestowed on Jean Ritchie, but seeing is believing, so I believe I will see you at the Coffeehouse tomorrow night (First Floor Cafeteria; two shows, 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.). Juilliard Quartet a tapestry of sounds Thursday, January 23, was a beautiful day. I exercised in the crisp a book. But the day was clouded by the night, its joys meaningless in comparison to that evening's ecstasy. O.K., granted, critics can get carried away. There rarely seems to be any emotional shades of gray. One's spirit either swims in black pools of intellectualized despair (John Simon on film) or climbs Olympian peaks, seeking the orgasmic potentials of the soul (Huxley: Doors of Perception). air. I read There is reasonong to support this polar oriented behavior. Critics have systems, flower beds of the mind, from which their opinions spring. They overlap their opinion with the offered opinion of the artist: two images transcribed on different pieces of clear cellophane. When placed on top of each other the images either mesh or don't mesh. Those that mesh are great creations: the perfection of an American Beauty Rose. Those that don't are weeds to be pulled out or destroyed with sophisticated verbiage: intellectual insecticide to wit, wit. Thursday night was a flower of phantasmagoric conception. The Julliard String Quartet. Mozart. Bartok. Mendelssohn. Then Mozart, again. Just incredible. Of course it could have been terrible. The music could have been poorly played. It wasn't. The crowd could have been unresponsive. It wasn’t. Grand. Yes, that's what it was, grand. — Tapestry The evening began with Mozart's Quartet in B flat major, (K. 589, 1790). A refined tapestry of sounds, the musicians wove their threads into patterns that created audial forms of great clarity and beauty. Each individual performance was exquisitely rendered so that the tapestry took on a thicker texture. Each musician formed a set whose sub-sets were the gentlest nuances in handling, the clearest tones, the most elegant carriage. As second violin, Robert Mann was exceptionally tasteful, not allowing himself to fall prey to a passionate interpretation which so often spoils the balance of a Mozart quartet. He carried his part with a sensitive precision that set the tone for this piece. The second piece on the program was Bartok's Quartet no. 6, (1939). A difficult piece, it conveys a feeling evocative of big city life: frenzied and disjunctive, but with an elusive core (pattern of reality) that emparts a confusing cohesiveness. We are forced to question our relation to it simply because we are not sure how it can exist, although we cannot deny that it does. 'Baal' A story of 'asocial m an' Baal eventu illy destroys himself through his sheer grossness (he gets fatter and fatter as the play progresses) and the accompanying decay.

Martin Maniak (a name In the first three movements, Bartok juxtaposes very agitated that fits the role) gave an excellent performance as moments with very still ones.

It is the story of a young, Oylanesque poet (one of the Beat poets) who destroys all he touches and brings about his own destruction. It is the story of a man who feels he has no constraints upon him, who is free to do as he pleases without the moral or emotional controls that all other members of society have placed upon themselves, whether voluntarily or prostitute. - — / ". ...

They remained above it, interpreting their parts rather than merely keeping up with them. they Mendelssohn: sunshine The third piece was Mendelssohn's Quartet No. 3 in D major, (Op. 44, No. 1). Earl Carlyss, violin, was masterful here. The merging sweetness of Mendelssohn (mental reaction: sunshine, a Sunday in summer, your lover in communion with you in a large field of elegant pink and white Holly Hocks, the field encased by a perimeter of lush white pines cascading deep green from straight brown poles, blue blankets all. You smile. Your lover smiles. Sunshine) allows for a large degree of personal expression. One is expected to be both loose and personal in one's rendition of it. Although all the members were skillfully submersed in the work's flow, Carlyss displayed an ability to formalize his emotional depth and led the piece, especially in the second movement, Minuetto, which never succumbed to a staid dance, but showed lightness and flexibility, soaring from beat to beat without drowning its tempo. Although the Mendelssohn piece was intended to end the concert, thunderous applause convinced the Quartet to perform an encore. Carlyss joked, "There is an old Chinese proverb: An evening that begins with Mozart must end with Mozart." This writer was not familiar with the short piece they played, but was pleased with its quality. - Inspiring Truly, the greatest inspiration comes when dealing within fixed limits. Mozart dealt with tone, pitch, and tempo, limits well known. He adroitly realized the inifinite possibilities of subtle arrangement. Each time I hear his work the infinite range of free association between sense and mind, sound and idea, is reopened to me, leaving me exuberant, charged and awed.

Birth Dance/ a celebration of feminism, at Baird Hall Daniela Gioseffi, poet and self-proclaimed shaman or ritual priestess of feminism, will perform her birth dance this evening at 8 p.m. in Baird Hall. birth dance is a dance of liberation for modern women, an expression of the joy of being female, and yet it bears an unmistakebale resemblance to the belly dance of Little Egypt, with its bazouki music, gold-encrusted costumes, finger cymbals and rolls and shimmies. Although it seems contradictory that a woman might experience her liberation in a dance associated with the harem, smoke-filled cafes and leering men, Ms. Gioseffi points out that the belly dance has not always had these associations. Prehistoric worship of the Earth Goddess took the form of a woman's dance that was also supposed to aid fertility. As women's rule was supplanted by men's control, the birth dance degenerated into a "narrow, smutty form of sex the hootchy-kootchy." — Revolutionary magic Ms. Gioseffi feels that "the revolution will have been won when every woman can do the belly The following is a selection from Ms. Gioseffit's dance It was a dance created by women for women in honor of their magical ability to Birth Dance, Belly Dancer (An Invocation to Be reproduce," but "it has been perverted by the sexist, Chanted to Primitive Music): Think of her not as herself patriarchal society into a burlesque of the female." but as an Etruscan priestess Correctly appreciated, the belly dance unites a through whom the spirit of the earth speaks, woman with her ancestral sisters whose role in a a pagan witch who enters veiled in the mystery matriarchal society went unquestioned, and allows of a world beyond sight. . her to experience the glory of her body and the . . . navel hidden, mysterious circuit, fullness of her womanhood by overwhelming the Ms. meaning. plug of the first cries of the dance's electrical male'determination Gioseffi has made a startling reinterpretation of an thrust from the womb. . . .

So from now on I'm calling it "Women In Love." It’ll still appear as "But Seriously ...” hut you can refer to it as “Women In Love. Be sure to tell your friends of the change. Today’s column was A supplemental note written specifically for stupid people. The other day I received my first piece of mail in almost two months. It was a letter from a life insurance company. They wanted to sell me a policy. “Why do 1 need this?” I asked myself. - " - “I’m just a kid!” You’re not a kid anymore, “ nyeh, nyeh You’re not a kid anymore, nyeh, nyeh I told my conscience to shut up. The next morning, I got another letter. This time from the Marines. It read: “We want you, Mr. Alzamora. And we’re going to get you too because there’ll be no jobs available in June and your GAF degree can’t buy shit. Enlist now and save us the trouble of getting you.” You’re not a kid anymore, nyeh, nyeh You’re not a kid anymore, nyeh, nyeh Last evening, I phoned my benefactor. The rent is die in a few days and I’m running out of Ritz Crackers. “Just remember,” he said, “come graduation day, I’m cutting you off without a " “ " cent.” You're not a kid anymore, nyeh, nyeh You're not a kid anymore, nyeh, nyeh Oh, sometimes I feel like a motherless child. My days of professional studentism are rapidly drawing to an end and I’m beginning to feel the pangs of true adulthood. Dimples turn to wrinkles, small cuts and bruises become severe lacerations, the wine’s turned sour, the roses have died, my bonnie lies over the ocean. I’ve talked to a few people who graduated last December. One fellow said that life was different OUT THERE. “It’s like dying before you get baptised a Catholic, and going to limbo,” he said, “I would give my left testicle to get back into school.” “I’ve come in contact with so many different To the Editor. . types of people,” said one gal. “They don’t look like the people in school, they don’t act like the people in school, they don’t fart like the people in school. You’re going to run into a lot of married couples, and it’s • obvious that some women have lost their virginity.” Obvious indeed. Perhaps the scariest aspect of graduation is the altering of routines as one man put it: “During the semester, I would get up late, forsake any morning duties, smoke pot until late afternoon, eat dinner, smoke pot, and catch a movie. Now that I’ve graduated, I haven’t seen a good movie in over a month!” I can’t understand where all the years have gone. It seems like only yesterday, I was a mulking, puking babe with dreams that stretched to Oz and a disposition that made Shirly Temple seem like Mitch Regenbogen. The Yellowbrick Road is as dead as my dreams. Garland is dead; George Reeves is dead; Freddie’s dead. Noel Neil is still alive and that depresses me even more. I’m not ready to be called “Mister.” If there’s nothing worse than having a name that consistently mispronounce, it’s having that name with the prefix “Mister” added. I’m not ready to have kids. (Marriage is a concept that 1 can’t even envision.) If I really want kids that bad, I’ll park outside some playground and wave a bag of candy in front of some chubby five-year-old and say “Come with me for a ride.” Jesus! What if that’s the only job I can find after graduation? Once grammar school lets out for the summer, I’ll be unemployed people again. When 1 look at some of those smiling younger faces, the strong boys who could care less about life, the young flowers waiting to be plucked, I sigh “Who are these nerds?” The juniors are nerds, the sophomores are nerdier, and the freshmen are the nerdiest. The lonely voice of youth keeps crying “What is truth?” and I can’t answer that. Maybe someday you’ll see my face among the clouds and you’ll remember to take yolir raincoat next time. I really don’t mean to depress anyone facing the same blealc future but if 1 go. I’m going to drag the rest of you with me. Boycott Ziegler To the Editor. Over the past week (as well as last semester), there has been a great deal of pressure to bring William Kunstler to campus to speak. Primarily this event is desired to bring a pertinent and timely issue to the student body sp that they may be informed of such situations. Speakers’ Bureau Director Stan Morrow, at Monday’s Student Judiciary Hearing, stated that one prominent reason for not bringing Kunstler to this campus was his “fear” that the honorarium paid to Mr. Kunstler might go to the Attica Brothers Legal Defense. This is very noble of Mr. Morrow, worrying about how and where our student fees are spent after they leave this University. It is too bad that Mr. Morrow’s conscience is not so consistent and “righteous.” He was very concerned where $500 will go, yet he felt none of his “morality” when it came to contract Mr. Ron Ziegler of Watergate fame for a considerably higher rate (estimated at $3,000). Now I truly feel that morality is in question. Here is a man who was a critical factor in one of our nation’s greatest disgraces. He was instrumental in a myriad of shams put over on the American people. Yet it is all right to reward this man for his effort by paying him an outrageous fee to propogate his “fall guy” position and plead the persecution of the Nixon Administration. Where is your conscience and morality, Mr. Morrow? Do you honestly believe the students’ best interests are being met? I highly respect and commend the student body of Boston University for rejecting the proposal to have Ziegler speak at their University for the very same reasons I of context have mentioned Unfortunately, Mr. Morrow has informed me that Mr. Ziegler’s contract has been signed at the writing of this letter, meaning that there is very little we can do to stop him from coming. I do however urge all students, faculty, staff and community persons to boycott Mr. Ziegler’s engagement on Feb. 27. Taking this situation into account, I honestly feel that this man and others like him must know that they cannot expect respect and notoriety for their morally criminal acts because they got an agent to place them on the college speaking tour. The problem here is not whether or not this type of situation is a problems with the mandatory student activities fee. It is a problem with the input that the students have with student government on this campus. That is the key. Like all other elected officials, SA officials are responsible to their constituency you. Elections are coming up in the Student Association. Vote for someone that meets your needs and what you want from Student Government. The concept of mandatory student fees can offer you a variety of programs and services that you can use, all we need is input from you the student to make Student Association be for you. In closing, I would like to ask again that everyone BOYCOTT Ron Ziegler’s speech on February 27, 1975 and that Mr. Morrow and friends in the Student Association spread their morality in a way that would truly be in the interests of the student body and our country. Social Sciences College affirms the position of paragraph two of my letter of January 10, 1975, which you quoted in your issue of Monday, January 20. Since you not only quoted portions of the letter out of context but changed the wording we of the College would like to have a correction printed in an early issue. The choice is not between one of “discussing” or abolishing the College, but one of dismissing implications and/or charges of the violation of principles of academic freedom or abolishing it. If academic freedom is being violated anywhere in the University, who would wist to wait twelve months to stop such violation? William W. Stein Professor of Anthropology and Executive Officer of Social Sciences College Benign neglect To the Editor. to Debbie Richard’s letter of 29th was insufficient and insulting. Whether the page on the tragedy of the nickel candy bar was an article or an advertisement is irrelevant to the issue of the lack of comment about the defamation of the Jewish Student Union bulletin board. To ignore the issue of anti-semitism which is Your response January raised by the appearance of swastikas in Norton Hall is a distinct failure on the part of the campus newspaper. To remain silent is to tacitly condone. If a whole page can (or must) be devoted to such trifling issues as the tragedy of the nickel candy bar, then certainly the editors of The Spectrum can do more than pursue a policy of “benign neglect” about the problems of a significant minority group of students. To justify silence by pleading financial difficulty is no answer at all. Susan Handelman The mandatory fee goes To the Editor I would like to respond to an advertisement which appeared in The Spectrum on Friday, January 24. The article read “The Ellicott Party was sponsored by the Mandatory Student Fee.” The Ellicott Party, held on Saturday, January 18 in the Student Club was not in any way connected with or funded by the mandatory fee. It sounded like they just decided to take the credit for a good party which other people worked so hard to make a success. I question the accuracy of the other advertisement in The Spectrum concerning the mandatory fee. If is is an example of the kind of bullshit they’re trying to feed me, I say vote “No” for the mandatory student fee on February 5, 6 and 7. Gene Gowdey American Revolution Bicentennial — David M.

Which showed the injustice done by leaving Randy off the all-star team. To the Editor: In regard to frustrated Knick fan Mike O’Neill’s article on the Buffalo Braves 105-99 victory over the New York Knicks, we would like to bring up the 6 It should also be noted that the Knicks’ offense consists of Walt Frazer and Earl Monroe against the world. Due to the Knicks’ lack of talent, it requires a top notch performance by these two to keep them in any game. If it were possible for them to make the Braves’ squad, they would do a lot of bench warming and collect many splinters. 7 In future games against New York, we should allow them a few extra players on the court, or spot them twenty points just to make it a game and keep the fans from getting bored. — following points: I — Mr. O’Neill was correct in his statement that the Knicks are a second division team and if it wasn’t for the 76’ers the Knicks could be cellar dwellers for years to come. In regard to his comments concerning the lackluster performance of the Braves, the question arises how can someone get up for a team like the New York Knicks. 3 His statement noting the presence of many Joseph Pericozzi naive fans, attests to the fact that there were a Larry Campo number of New York Knicks’ fans present. Note: has not been Mr. O’Neill seen since he 4 Mr. O’Neill noted the return of Ernie D., it Editor’s his the Knicks-Braves writing analysis that he pointed year be out was rookie of the finishe'd of should last year and had more assists than the entire Knick game.

Wherever you are Mike, noting that Randy Smith again left Walt Frazer it’s true. 2 — — - — ” — To the Editor. I must admit that I was truly shocked at Michael O’Neill’s alleged “Sports Analysis” in Monday’s issue of The Spectrum. One would think that the Managing Editor of The Spectrum would not succumb to the temptation to gleefully dump on Buffalo, but he did. Mr. O’Neill was not content to moum the passing of his beloved Knicks; he had to engage in city-knocking. His so-called “analysis” proved to be nothing more than yet another attempted hatchet job on Buffalo. Instead of offering a real description of the game, he raps the fans here, saying they are “naive.” (This is in contrast, 1 take it, to the highly sophisticated New York fans, whose teams practice Deeee-fense by ducking the whiskey bottles flung at their heads by the knowledgeable New York fans.) Mr. O’Neill also says that “few of the fans seemed overly interested in the game’s outcome," and that they “kept one eye on the scoreboard for the outcome of the Celtic game.” Having been to Madison Square Garden a number of times myself, I feel sure that the fans there would follow other games, too if only they had a decent scoreboard to follow them upon. For all the service, the MSG board gives, they might as well have a kid up there with a blackboard and a piece of chalk! While we’re on the subject of comparisons, how can Mr. O’Neill berate the Buffalo fans (who are mostly from Buffalo, despite Mr. O’Neill’s baseless charges) for “squandering” up to seven dollars a ticket to see the best player in the league. Bob McAdoo, when scalpers get over $100 each for tickets to see a team that boasts of Jesse Dark, Dennis Bell, and Harthorne Wingo? Finally, I must in all honesty admit that I was not at the particular game which Mr. O’Neill was, ahem, “covering.” I was, along with more than 2,000 of the Buffalo fans whom Mr. O’Neill regards with such undeserved scorn, at a Sabres game. — Go home to New York I suggest that the fans you saw who were uninterested in the game were your fellow frustrated I address this to Mike O’Neill, a Managing Editor Knicks’ fans, the ones who act nonchalant when of The Spectrum. their teams are losing but shoot their mouths off After reading your comments on the when they are ahead, which is seldom.

Not anti-Buffalo Braves, but anti the room lav. So, Mike, the next time you decide to have an city.

Mr. Sarra said there is no way to leave the fans running in selective rooms.

The number of sex crimes at the State University at Albany has risen drastically within the past year, although it is still relatively low. This is probably due to the increase in reported cases, indicated James Williams, director of Campus Police, and is with the nationwide spread of reported incidents, especially at schools in Denver and Boston. The New York state capital, in general, has a low rate of sex crimes, probably accounting for the low rate on the consistant campus. Dangerous rides More than half of all the sex crimes reported at Albany last year involved women who were hitching. Since buses between the uptown and downtown campuses stop running at an early hour, students often hitch at night. Although no student car pools been formed, the Campus Police have adopted a policy to pick up all women hitchhikers and drive them home. Women will not receive a ride if they request one, but will be picked up if spotted hitching and lectured to on the dangers of hitching, Mr. Williams said.

Rebounding from loss hockey Bulls down Salem St , by Dave Hnath Contributing Editor It took them LYNN, MASS. but Buffalo games Hockey (he 22 Bulls finally played up to their potential Wednesday night, beating Salem St., 5-1. The Massachusetts team had been considered a shoe-in to make the ECAC Division two playoffs. “I think the other night was my fault,” reflected Buffalo coach Ed Wright refering to Monday’s penalty-laden loss to St. Anselm’s. “I got them angry and then they went out and got all those penalties. Today [Wednesday] they played much more low keyed.” The Bulls received only ten minutes in penalties in the Salem contest as opposed to over 80 against St. Anselm’s. - All smiles Wright couldn’t help but be a r little surpirsed in the results of a changed attitude. “I thought they were all psyched up the other night and they lost. Tonight they were pretty cool in the locker room.” The Bulls played their best forechecking game of the year, hoping to take the burden off the three remaining defensemen, one of whom (Mike Caruana) is really a converted forward. Buffalo had lost two of its defenders, Mark Sylvester and Paul Songin, with game suspensions Monday night. The remaining defenders, particularly Mike Perry, consistently broke up Viking passes into the goal area. They were then able to send the Buffalo forwards on numerous breakaways resulting in two goals and several near misses. Goalie John Moore, who has played outstanding hockey all season, finally had it pay off. Often peppered with numerous gzwmZ “i Moore received greater support than ever and was able to turn back all but one of 25 shots. Playoff hopes The win improved the Bulls chances for an ECAC playoff spot. “If we win the rest of the games in the division,” observed Ed Wright, “we’ll have an 11—3—1 record. It would be tough to overlook us with 11 wins.” This will be easier said than done with opponents like American International, Ithaca College and Oswego State on the schedule. After their surprising win and a little celebration the Bulls bussed it back to Buffalo yesterday, to prepare for this weekend’s series with powerful Western Michigan. If Buffalo can defeat the Mustangs twice, and by a total of six goals or more, they will qualify for a CCHL playoff spot. Being in two different conferences doubles the Bulls’ playoff chances, but they are not about to back into either one.

Potsdam 99, Buffalo 19. 27. at Brockport GIF by Bruce Engel Many journalists start out writing obituaries. It’s not very exciting work. It would be a tasteless pun to say that it is dead stuff, but the fact is that most obituaries aren’t very exciting to either read or write. Nonetheless they are a necessary part of the daily newspaper. Furthermore they require careful, accurate research as well as basic, precise writing skills. As such they provide good training for the lucky journalists who later escape to the land of the living. Personally, I didn’t start my career writing obits. 1 got into sports right off and, for better or for worse, I’m still there. I thought once, when a Buffalo wrestler went against a character that outweighed him by over 200 pounds, that I might finally have to write an obituary. Fortunately, he survived. He lost, but he survived. Of course, I’ve only worked for student newspaper and students aren’t dying in sufficient numbers to warrant an obituary section, thank God. I still haven’t had the experience, nor do I care to. However in the next few weeks the occasion may arise. It might read something like this. (Obituaries SUNY at Buffalo athletics passed away peacefully the other day, following years of illness. Causes of death were listed as terminal apathy, chronic stubbornness, financial debilitation, traumatic inflation, failure to communicate and bureaucratic bungling. The program never fully recovered from the 1971 loss of its pride and joy football. Depression led to serious illness, and Drs. Frank Jackalone and Scott Salimando, the fourth set of surgeons to take the case, lost the patient last week. Athletics, beloved but controversial brother of intramurals and recreation, was survived by parents Harry Fritz and Jim Peelle who cried at the ceremony in remembrance of the deceased’s glorious past. Through the years the dear departed had been renowned for many successful ventures in football, crew (both of which had to be amputated somewhat before the very end) basketball, baseball, track, hockey, fencing, soccer and wrestling. Resilient to the end, the program had just undertaken a new project, women’s athletics, with its last dying breaths. The program was also survived l?y 18 coaches, over 200 athletes and several advisors. Pallbearers Richardson, Wright, Michael, Monkarsh and Anderson will carry the deceased to its final resting place adjacent to its ancient home in Clark Hall. — Hong Kong Chicken with vegetable Lichee Guy Kew (Chicken Balls with Lichees) Gol Lai Hat stuffed with Minced Meats, Sweet and Sour Scallops. — Women's Basketball (1—1): January 27, at Brockport Buffalo 10 10 20 Brockport 34 31 65 Buffalo Scoring: Barrone 8.

The fact that it is just barely possible scares me a little. The Somit committee dealing with athletics should, and probably will, recommend some major change in the program. With important figures like Fritz, Jackalone and Somit as part of this effort, it is difficult to believe that whatever they decide will not come to pass. Dropping the whole kit and kaboodle is, fortunately, the least of several possibilities, but one that should not be taken lightly. If communication should break down or frustration reach an even higher level, it may not be too long before certain people become disgusted enough to start throwing in the towel. The biggest hope for this committee’s success is the fact that unlike previous efforts, the University Administration is actively involved. The Administration, quite frankly, is the only party capable of whipping either or both the Athletic Department and the Student Association (SA) into line if it comes to that. Once again I’m sorry if I've scare anyone. Actually the only way the program will die is if these two parties. Athletic Department and SA cannot work things out. They are both going to have to swallow a little pride in the process. The Athletic Department has stuck to its philosophic guns for many years now. Let them be warned that if they stick any longer, they may go down with the ship Perhaps that’s what they want, if their professional pride is so important. SA is m the same bind. They'll lose something very good if they don't give a little. Tr shame of it is that if nobody gives, the real losers are you, the studer Friday, 31 January 1975 , The Spectrum . Page seventeen �Women cagers lose star, game IRC rentals “They’re the best team we’ll face all season,” sighed Women’s basketball coach Carolyn Thomas after her' Bulls were trounced at Brockport, 65-20, last Monday night. Worse yet for Buffalo, star center Ann Trapper’s broken ankle is in a cast and will keep her out of action for at least three weeks. The Bulls knew that the Golden Eagles would be their toughest opponents of the season. Brockport came into the game boasting a 10-2 record and a second place finish in the New York State Championships a year ago. Without Trapper, the Bulls were beaten from the start by Brockport’s height advantage and experience. The Golden Eagles ran vote! all over Buffalo with spectacular drives and phenomenal outside shooting, leaving the crowd oohing and aahing. The lone bright for Buffalo was the continued good play of captain Chris Barone, who again led the Bulls in scoring with eight points. Her long jumper at the start of the game gave the Bulls a short-lived 2-0 lead which quickly evaporated to a 34-10 half time deficit. In the second half, with the outcome already determined, both coaches cleared their benches and the Bulls began looking ahead to easier competition.

Youngsters compete in ice hockey league by Dan Greenbaum Spectrum Staff Writer The second annual Amherst Kiwanis invitational hockey tournament was held at the Amherst Recreational Center last week, but it’s not likely that many people were aware of it, since even the most avid sports Why everybody’s pretending they’re us. fans don’t often follow the competition of 9-12 year olds. But if examined closely the idea of youngsters competing in organized hockey at such a young age is every interesting. For one thing, hockey is unlike any other major sport because before a youngster can play the game he must be able to skate an ability alien to his everyday life. — Hockey sense However many of the kids can do more than skate. They are not just taught to skate and shoot. They are taught real “hockey sense.” The importance of good positioning, good passing, converging on the net and centering the puck. The training is more advanced than little league baseball where little more than the basics (hitting, fielding, throwing) are taught. The Kiwanis league is one of "ihe largest in the state and among the best in Western New York. In addition to its own internal competition, the league fields traveling teams for two age groups that are undefeated in this area and have done surprisingly well against Canadian opposition. Last year one of the teams finished third in a national tournament. Pat Rimar, tournament chairman and a coach in the league, said there are almost 1400 youngsters in the program and indicated that if the geographic restrictions were loosened (only Town of Amherst residents are eligible) there could be up to 3500. The league must also be popular among the parents who are willing (or forced as the case may be) to get up at 5 a.m. to bring their kids to practice sessions.

Let’s win The traveling team plays up to 50 games a season and practicethree times a week. Rimar said that playing the game well and trying their hardest is all he asks of the players. Of course, if you ask the kids, winning is still where its at. The league requires that there be Ifne changes every two minutes, and that teams match their best lines to prevent mismatches. This tends to keep the games close as well as giving everyone playing time. Equipment is standard except for the helmets which have visors and jaw protectors for added safety. The players are not really strong, agile or fast enough to hurt each other anyway. Rimar could not recall a serious injury in two years of league play. �at low prices.

The Judiciary chose to deal only with the question of whether students would suffer “irreperable harm” if Mr. Morrow was allowed to finalize a $3000 contract to have Ronald Reagan speak here, thereby precluding any chance of having leftover funds to finance an appearance by William Kunstler. In the same way, Chief Justice Larry Katz was concerned that a restraining order not do “irreparable harm to Stan’s position” as Speaker’s Bureau Chairman, since he might possibly have to break a verbal agreement with Mr. Reagan’s agent if the Assembly opts for Mr. Kunstler. In ruling for the complainants. Rich Sokolow and Gloria Pruzan, Mr. Katz decided not to rule on the question of merit, or who was right or wrong. It confined its decision simply to whether the requested restraining order was justified something that depends solely on whether one party stands to suffer irreparable harm. — Assembly action Monday’s meeting of the Student Judiciary, however, was by no means the final round of this fight. The next, and possibly decisive round will be fought at today’s Assembly meeting. At the hearing Monday, Mr. Morrow conceded that he was bound to follow any explicit directive from the Assembly on any matter involving programming of speakers. All parties to the case are anticipating some explicit statement from ar the Assembly today. , It was the Assembly’s confused series of motions at its November 20 meeting that created the problem. The original series of resolutions was largely incoherent. Had all been passed, Mr. Morrow would have been directed: 1 to make an appearance by Mr. Kunstler a priority, 2 to see if bringing Mr. Kunstler to campus is possible, and, 3 to bring Mr. Kunstler to campus without regard to possibility. As it turned out, the Assembly decided not to insist that Mr. Kunstler appear if he did not wish to. But no further exceptions relating to cost or availability of Mr. Kunstler were stated or implied. - — - Vague mandate Because the third question, which would have constituted a directive to Mr. Morrow to contract with Mr. Kunstler, did not pass, Mr. Morrow was forced to interpret motions that said nothing stronger than that he ought to consider Mr. Kunstler a programming priority. The motions as passed did not even establish Mr. Kunstler as a top priority, only as one priority among many. Legislative intent is a valid criterion for interpreting unclear legislation, but the intent test yields equally ambiguous results. Those interested in forcing the Kunstler appearance say with some justice that the Assembly wanted Mr. Morrow to sign Mr. Kunstler. Bui the final motion, which would have explicitly directed that intent, was postponed indefinitely by a vote larger than that which approved the motion to get Mr. Kunstler. In effect, given an opportunity to clearly express its views on a Kunstler appearance, the Assembly explicitly rejected the opportunity. But the questions at today’s Assembly meeting are expected to be political, not legal. Petition question Tire pro-Kunstler forces will bring up the petitions signed by 300 students asking for Mr. Kunstler to appear. No doubt someone will question the validity of the petition. The Student Judiciary (SJ) issued a restraining order Monday that prevents Speakers Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow from finalizing any speaker’s contracts at least until tomorrow. The action was part of the controversy that developed after the Student Assembly instructed Mr. Morrow Limited budget After the last semester to consider William november 20 Kunstler a “priority” for the meeting, when it became clear that it was possible to obtain Mr. spring speakers’ program. The Judiciary will review its Kunstler’s services, Mr. Sokolow order tomorrow at 5 p.m. after claims Mr. Morrow did not make evaluating today’s Assembly sufficient effort to do so. He cited actions. The legislative body will Mr. Morrow’s letter to Mr. reconsider its previous decision in Kunstler, which lowered the SA which it labelled the appearance of Mr. Kunstler a “priority” but defeated that proposal a specifically instructed Mr. Morrow to retain Mr. Kunstler. The request for the restraining order was brought by Richard Sokolow and Gloria Pruzan, both of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) of £pffalo, who charged that the wishes of the Student Assembly were “superseded by the willful dodging of the matter” by Mr. Morrow. Negative feedback Mr. Morrow claimed at the hearing Monday that while the Student Assembly has the power to direct his activities as Speakers Bureau Chairman, the Assembly had only recommended that he bring Mr. Kunstler on campus to speak, He Said he had made several attempts to persuade Mr. Kunstler to come to the University. However, Mr. Sokolow charged that Mr. Morrow had offered the As anyone who has circulated or signed a petition knows, one can get 300 students to sign anything. Over 2,000 signed the petition to turn the student government over to Michael “Lev” Levinson several years ago. The argument will run further that the petition did not specify alternatives. Some who signed the petition have already said they did not anticipate that demanding Kunstler would mean someone else could not appear. Petitions to sign, for example, Dan Rather, Senator Edward Kennedy, Woody Allen or Gerald Ford would quickly draw over 300 signatures. In short order, any ambitious student could get petitions showing mass support for a of any speaker’s program far beyond student government to provide, f The constitutional question of who should decide who speaks will probably break down to a question of who wants Kunstler and who wants Mr. Morrow’s program If, as seems likely, the petition question proves irrelevant and the question of constitutional principle becomes a rationalization for speaker preferences, what will determine how the Student Assembly resolves the issue? Probably chance. What finally settles the controversy will most likely be which 20-25 percent of the Assembly comes to the meeting today. According to Mr. Sokolow, a third motion to order Mr. Morrow to obtain Mr. Kunstler was defeated because the Assembly did not want to mandate what might have been impossible. Mr. Morrow indicated, however, that the third motion was defeated because the Assembly had not strongly supported Mr. Kunstler. Stan Morrow controversial lawyer between $700 and $1,000 less than his usual fee. Defending his actions, Mr. Morrow explained that he was approached last October by members of the Attica Brothers Legal Defense (ABLD), who asked that he try to get Mr. Kunstler to speak. But after “asking around,” Mr. Morrow said he received negative feedback because Mr. Kunstler had spoke here once before. William Kunstler offer to $500 because of a “limited budget.” Mr. Sokolow, in his request for a restraining order, said $500 is “considered to be the lowest amount offered” to any speaker. The Speakers Bureau paid Noel Neill (Lois Lane) $1,100 and has offered former California Governor Ronald Reagan $3,000. Mr. Reagan had originally wanted $5,000, Mr. Morrow remarked, stressing that it was in the best interests of the student body to get all of these speakers. Additionally, Mr. Morrow said he received no response from Mr. Kunstler after the $500 offer. But Mr. Sokolow claimed that Mr. Kunstler’s representatives have been trying unsuccessfully to reach Mr. Morrow, and that Mr. Morrow had never really negotiated the $800 offer. The Speakers Bureau cannot afford to have Mr. Kunstler speak since it has already made plans to sponsor Mr. Reagan and possibly William Buckley, Mr. Morrow countered. This was why he was reluctant to pursue Mr. Kunstler’s appearance, he said. Irrepairable harm Ms. Pruzan explained that the most important factor was that Mr. Morrow has ignored the spirit, if not the letler, of the Assembly directives. Everyone at the meeting had agreed that Mr. Kunstler was a valid speaker, she asserted. Mr. Morrow said, in response, —continued on page 8— �— Shades of PHD ’987 Bailey Ave. by Charles Blaise WBUF-FM may not be the first Buffalo radio station to boast a progressive music format but it presently is the only station in town that plays music reminiscent of the old WPHD-FM. The decision to alter WBUF’s “easy-listening” format came soon after PHD was transfigured into WYSL-FM, a landmark of Top 40 listening in the Queen City. BUF is counting on those who remember how music used to sound in Buffalo to tune in to 93.7 FM. “We’re trying to model the sound after WPHD, circa 1971,” said WBUF program director Cal Brady. “But we’re not resurrecting the PHD of four months ago because there’s not much worth resurrecting.” Up to last week, WBUF played “middle of the road schlock,” explained Mr. Brady, a format that existed for the past eight to ten years. The move to go “progressive” (for lack of a better expression) occurred two months ago, and was formalized by the owner of WBUF, the station’s general manager, and Mr. Brady. No hard sell Mr. Brady labeled the new BUF as “a popular music contemporary station without hard sell.” The station will focus\ its attention on the 18 to 35 year old audience, both female. And because of\ the present situation of Buffalo radio, “we’re particularly interested in reaching older people who feel prematurely senile,” Mr. Brady maintained WBUF broadcasts each day of the week, around-the-clock.

In rejecting these types of Since many listeners base their record album purchases on what commercials, WBUF hopes to win they hear on the radio, WBUF will the trust and respect of its not play albums with one good, or audience. Mr. Brady said the popular single if the album is matter of professionalism was also weak on the whole. The music involved. Even if WBUF accepted a vast will essentially be older material, records that are selling well, and amount of advertising, it would be albums not presently on the three months before the station charts. From this, 60 percent of could begin breaking even, Mr. the actual playing time will Brady ascertained. But “I consist of non-current material, wouldn’t be here if I didn’t think there would be a minimal amount of pressure,” he said. The response to the new WBUF, although a week old, has been overwhelming, according to Mr. Brady. Listeners as far as Toronto and Pennsylvania have picked up the 100,000 watt station and the reaction is indeed quite favorable. WBUF has promoted itself through bumper stickers, and soon to be aired television spots. “We're relying heavily on word of mouth to sell while current and up-coming our product,” Mr. Brady said. Future plans include bringing products will fill the remaining WBUF sponsored concerts to spots. Announcers are limited to Buffalo and the transition to eight minutes of actual speaking stereo broadcasting in six to eight time each hour. This is one of the weeks.

Plans for funding athletics reviewed The establishment of an informal committee to study the future of athletics has aroused speculation that major policy designed to end the controversy over athletic funding decisions one way or another will be announced in the near future. The funding of intercollegiate athletics by the Student Association has long been a controversial and confusing issue for both the athletic department, which runs the program, and the Student Association (SA), which funds it. Some students have been critical of the program for a long time and they have made their feelings well known at Student Assembly meetings. Because the possibility exists that the Student Assembly may slash parts of the intercollegiate budget, the committee has been discussing issues, like how much money should be spent, which sports should be funded and on what level of competition, length of scheduling and degree of student review, and alternate means of - - funding. “Obvious kinds of questions that we have been wrestling with for years characterized the discussions,” said Executive Vice President Albert Somit, who organized the group. The informal committee includes representatives from the University Administration, Office of Student Affairs, Student Association and Athletic Department. In a sense the committee has given itself responsibility for ending the perpetual crisis over athletic funding. Short and long of it “We’re trying to work out short term solutions to the funding problem as well as proposing a more satisfactory mechanism for a long policy,” Dr. Somit explained. Failure to finalize an athletic budget until October or November in each of the last four years, it is generally agreed, has frustrated everyone concerned. SA President Frank Jackalone, a prominent committee member, described the group this way: “It is an informal committee charged with discussing the future of athletics primarily for next year.” Mr. Jackalone claims that shifting student priorities and rising inflation make the problem more critical than ever. While denying that his role was simply that of mediator between the Athletic Department and SA, Dr. Somit conceded that it was doubtful the Administration would reject a solution that satisfied the other parties. More planning Athletic Driector Dr. Harry Fritz views the major problem as a lack of stability. “The major purpose of this group is to make an effort to plan better. We’ve got to advance the date that funding is assured so that we cajj plan,” Dr. Fritz said. He added that the best result for him and his department would ultimately be a solution whereby money going to athletics would be secured by guaranteeing a fixed sum or fixed percentage of the student activity fee for the athletic department. The State University at Albany recently adopted such a system, which commits specified amounts of funds to athletics until well into the 1980s. Although recent attempts to solve the perennial athletic problem have not succeeded, Mr. Jackalone feels that things will now be different. “Other committees have looked at long range solutions. This committee has a specific focus on immediate problems,” Mr. Jackalone said, “but if its going to work,” he added, “some former attitudes must change,” note: The following is a list of possible solutions to the athletic problem that the Somit committee may come up with. These are not the only possibilities, nor do we expect any of them to he implemented in this exact manner. Thii list simply covers the Editor’s range of alternatives. I. Drop all intercollegiate programs. 2. Increase the quality of all or nearly all intercollegiate programs, and elevate the major ones to national caliber competition. 3. Using the same amount of money, drop all but the top five or six teams and use the funds to increase their spectator appeal. 4. Lower the level of the major programs to the level of the smaller ones, which is already close to the lowest level possible. 5. Establish a fixed sum or percentage of student mandatory that would go right to the athletic department to administer as fees it sees fit 6. Failure to agree upon anything new, or agreement that the status quo is the best way. In either case we would be left with the . same confusion. A newsletter from the Medical Society of the State of New York (MSSNY) has advised doctors that they are under no legal obligation to answer consumer group survey questions and warned that compliance with surveys may constitute a violation of the state education law. Warnings like these may discourage Buffalo doctors from doctor from responding iO answering questions from questions from non-partisan, members of the New York Public non-profit groups designed to be Interest Research Group, included in a comprehensive (NYP1RG) which is surveying area doctors’ directory. gynecologists and obstetricians for The dilemma is not new.

Richard Trecasse, purposes and objectives. Executive Director of the Erie Advertising County Medical Society told The MSSNY newsletter implied NYPIRG of Buffalo in a letter that a consumer directory would that “any specific questions you contain qualitative and may have will be answered by a discriminatory judgements which call to the physician’s office.” constitute “advertising” as prohibited by Title VIII of the Non-cooperation state education law. (Representatives from NYPIRG’s senior staff attorney Nancy Kramer concluded, however, that answering survey questions does not constitute the type of “advertising” prohibited by Title VIII. \ The law does not prohibit a NYPIRG said they will request a formal ruling from the State Commissioner of Education.) But one doctor has already advised NYPIRG that researchers may run into hostility from some doctors in the survey area. Because of the current economic difficulties, the doctor explained, it is possible doctors fear that publicizing their fees may lead to government price ceilings. Additionally, he suggested that the doctors would not take kindly to having their professional privacy invaded. Another doctor, after receiving NYPIRG’s introductory letter, said he would not cooperate. In such cases, the directory will list next to the doctors name, “Refused to Cooperate.” A letter from author K.F. Walker stated: “It is my personal opinion that if doctors had not acted as benevolent monarchs toward their patients for so long, the type of service that you [NYPIRG] offers would not be required.” While Mr. Berke acknowledged that the problem of fees “may be a little touchy,” he said that “the medical organization as a whole doesn’t like to make things very public. What we’re doing is raising women’s consciousness concerning their own bodies and doctor/patient relationships.” “Doctors have always built a wall around themselves,” Ms. Siegel asserted. “Our objective is to chisel away at that wall.” NYPIRG previously published directory of general practitioners and general internists in a Guide to Queens Doctors, prepared by 11 Queens College students supervised by paid professionals. “We feel that this directory should be the responsibility of the medical societies,” Ms. Seigel added. a Passport/Application Photos UNIVERSITY PHOTO 355 Norton Hall Toes., Wed., Thurs.; 10 a.m.—5 p.m 3 photos for (3 (t.

The engineering involved in wiring Ellicott for WIRR is very complicated because of the size and structure of the Complex, Mr. Thompson said. He does not, however, foresee any major difficulties in preparing the smaller, simpler Governor’s Complex, which is scheduled to receive the station shortly after Ellicott. Mr. Thompson feels WIRR is ready to move to Amherst the Inter-Residence because Council (IRC) is donating the phone lines and a new, more efficient transmitter, built by former Chief Engineer Ian Pauli. “Without the support of Leigh Weber [IRC President] and Douglas Cohen [Ellicott Area Council President], WIRR would not be this close to expansion,” Mr. Schwartz noted. Although he for $400 budgeted has transmission to Amherst and studio maintenance, he is still uncertain how much the project will cost. also Schwartz has Mr. contacted A1 Dahlberg from the Office of Facilities Planning and Madison Boyce, Director of Housing, requesting three rooms for the station in Ellicott in September. One room will be used as a general studio, another for production, and a third as an office for staff members. Due to a large turnout of disc jockeys, WIRR will broadcast at night, beginning monday, January 27 and will resume regular daytime shows by the beginning of February, shows will start at noon on weekdays and at 1 p.m. over the weekend, and will always sign off at 3 a.m. Special programs planned for the future include novel readings, Ellicott of broadcasts coffeehouses, and recordings of live concerts.

Minorities and women also showed low levels of interest in the congressional, gubernatorial, and local elections. Of a record 141 million eligible voters, only 45 percent overall reported voting on November 5.

They were brought to trial following the discovery that wine in the Bordeaux region had been tampered with and falsely labeled. An estimated four million bottles of wine had been or were to be sold under illegal conditions. (Whether or not the wine in obvious logical flaw, and the defendants were found guilty of fraud. The principal defendants, Pierre Bert and Lionel and Ivan Cruse, were given one year in jail and fined 27,000 francs each (about $6000). The other sentences ranged from one year in jail and a 20,000 franc fine to four months and 2000 francs. While this punishment may not seem to fit the crime, the defendants must also collectively pay a total of 10 million francs to private damaged parties financially by the scandal. The Cruses have already announced their intention to appeal this decision. Rising prices? It will be asked by wine drinkers, “what will be the effect of la scandale on wine prices in France and the United States?” In France, the public’s faith in the Bordeaux label has been badly shaken. Even the prices of Chateau-bottled wine, not subject substitution or any to manipulation, have dropped considerably. In the provinces where burgundy wine is produced, about 300 kilometres east of Bordeaux, some vintage wines have dropped 40 percent in prcie under last year’s standards. Bad news for wine merchants but good news for wine drinkers, a major part of the French population. s wi question had already been sold could not be determined because the official papers of sale mysteriously disappeared.) The trial and its subsequent revelations have dealt a profound blow to the reputation of the long Bordeaux vineyards, considered by experts and wine lovers alike to produce the finest of all French wine. The principal defendants, the Cruse brothers, who are the most successful wine merchants in Bordeaux and also the largest wine exporters in France, were accused of substituting ordinary Languedoc wine from the southeast of France for Bordeaux selling it superieur. wine and then as Bordeaux c/ualilal It's no better The real shock came, however, when lawyers for the defendants argued that if there had been a substitution, it was a mistake because, in reality, the famous vintage wines of Bordeaux are no better than the ordinary wines of Languedoc. fact, the two are In indistinguishable, they said. Even though a good Bordeaux wine costs five times as much as a lawyers the such a that substitution is not a serious fraud and that the wine in question is still in the cellars of la maison Cruse anyway. They invited court experts to the cellars to prove this point, but the question arose: How would the experts distinguish between the two wines? By tasting it, of course, replied the lawyers. The court chose to ignore this Languedoc, contended Unfortunately, the news for American wine lovers is not nearly as good as for the French. According to the manager of Astor Wines & Spirits, Inc. in New York, a major importer, the events in Bordeaux have had absolutely no effect at all on the price of le vin francais in America. Prices have dropped slightly, he said, but this is due to the state of the American economy and not the situation in France. In fact, Bordeaux wines have remained as expensive as ever here, by coincidence the only French label not to have dropped in price. A bottle of vintage year Bordeaux qualitat superieur which costs three or four dollars in France will cost no less than S10 in the United States. Little change Mark Lingerer of the North Main Liquor Store in Buffalo added that if anyone were to he affected by the scandal, it would be the major wholesalers in New York. And judging from his most recent price list, there was very little change, Mr. Lingerer remarked with a smile that he didn’t carry much Cruse Bros, wine in the first place, and he had never found their wines to be particularly outstanding. Eighty percent of his business is in wine and much of that business comes from students. They begin with Gallo and Almaden, he said, and many become interested in the imported wines, especially French imports. With the aid of vintage charts posted in the store, students are asking questions and keeping lists, learning about the different types of wine and developing their taste, even to the extent of entering the store and asking for a particular label and year. Most cannot afford the premier cru classe labels, a Chateau Margeaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild, but the interest is there, perhaps in the hope that one day these wines, too, will be accessible to them. Comment Peace on paper but the war x continutes withAmericanaid by Paul Krehbiel The Paris Peace Agreement was signed almost on Jan. 27, 1973. Since then, thousands of Vietnamese men, women and children have been killed or wounded, and there is no end in sight. Were it not for the never-ending flow of U.S. money, arms, ammunition and advisors to the Thieu regime, the war might now be over. In Article IX of the peace agreement, cur government promised “not to impose any political tendency or personality on the South Vietnamese people.” Yet, it does this every single day by sending massive aid to only one party in South Vietnam the Thieu regime. Even though the Paris agreements specifically cite the Provisional Revolutionary Government as the other recognized party, it has received no aid from our government Article IV of the peace agreement states: “The United Slates will not . continue its military involvement or interfere in the internal affairs of South Vietnam.” Since the signing, the government has sunk millions of American lax dollars into the Thieu cesspool, and President Ford continues to urge Congress to throw in another $300 million to keep Thieu afloat. The American Friends Service Committee has estimated that our tax-dollars provide more than 80 percent of the Saigon administration’s budget, another flagrant violation of the Paris Peace two years ago to the day — — Agreements. Vietnam question. The United States, which had given aid to the French colonialists, participated in the conference, and opposed independence for Vietnam. After much foot-dragging, the following settlement was arrived at; 1 Vietnam was to be divided at the 17th North and parallel temporarily into two zones South. The northern zone was to be governed by the independence forces, led by Ho Chi Minh, while the southern zone was to be governed by forces formerly Elections were to be supported by the French. 2 held in two years to reunite the country, and 3 neither zone was to receive military aid for outsiders. But the U.S. continued to give money to the anti-communist forces governing the southern zone, in violation of the Geneva agreements, and in 1956, prevented the proposed elections from taking place. President Eisenhower later wrote in his book, Mandate For Change “I have never corresponded with a person knowledgable in Indochinese affairs who did not agree that had elections been held . . . possibly 80 percent of the population would have voted for the communist, Ho Chi Minh.” So the elections were never held, Vietnam remained divided, and successive U.S. presidents, both Democratic and Republican, plunged more money, armaments, and soldiers into the conflict. — — , — — , Raw materials Eisenhower also explained the reasons for the war on the side of France at a conference of U.S. governors in Seattle in August entering 1953: U.S. violations In Article V of the Paris agreements, the U.S. government promised to withdraw its advisors to all paramilitary organizations and the police force. But American advisors are still there. We also pledged to “insure the democratic personal freedom, freedom liberties of the people of speech, freedom of the press, freedom* of assembly, the right to organize politically, freedom of residence and freedom of work . . .” (Article XI). The Thieu regime has responded by closing down opposition newspapers and outlawing trade unions, and continues to incarcerate an estimated 200,000 political prisoners, many in horrible conditions, according to reports by Amnesty International, the Indochina Peace Campaign, and the American Friends Service Committee, all of whose members have traveled in South Vietnam. Under the Peace agreement, the United States pledged to dismantle “all [U.S.J military bases in South Vietnam” (Article 6). But the military bases are still there, along with American bombers, which are now piloted by Vietnamese servicemen who were trained by the U.S. Air Force. While these violations of the peace agreement may seen outrageous it is not the first time the U.S. government has violated peace agreements in Southeast Asia. - Geneva conference After decades of fighting French colonialism in Southeast Asia, the Vietnamese people forced the surrender of the French at the battle of Dien Bien Phu, on May 7, 1954. This lead to the historic Geneva conference of 1954, held to settle the “Now let us assume that we lost Indochina . . . The tin and tungsten that we so greatly value from that area would cease coming so when the U.S. votes S400 million to help that war, we are not voting a giveaway program. We are voting for the cheapest way that we can to prevent the occurance of something that would be of a most terrible significance to the United States of America, our security, our power and ability to get certain things we need from the riches of the Indochinese territory and from Southeast Asia.” The reasons for U.S. involvement in Vietnam was to get control over cheap raw materials, cheap labor, and a market in which to sell surplus products. The Root-Brown consturction company of Texas, a past financial supporter of Lyndon Johnson, received large government contracts from the Johnson administration to build roads, barracks and prisons in South Vietnam. Standard Oil with other giant along conglomerates won oil-drilling concessions off the coast of South Vietnam in 1971, while Chase Manhatten Bank, controlled by Rockefeller interests, has had a branch in Saigon since the mid-1960’s to finance various business enterprises. Perhaps these are some of the reasons why the Ford-Rockefeller team has urged a $300 million military aid supplement to the sagging Saigon administration. In the meantime, the Western New York Peace Center, representing 155 contributing members and over 500 active supporters, has joined prominant national peace organizations in calling on citizens to write letters to their Congressional representatives urging opposition to all monetary aid to Saigon. ... Wednesday, 29 January 1975 . The Spectrum Page five . �I Cuiiudai The Kunstler controversy With the mandatory student fee referendum only days away, it is fortunate that an issue has surfaced that concerns, in the most fundamental way, how those fees are allocated. The Student Judiciary's decision to restrain Speakers' Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow from signing any new contracts has more than anything else focused attention on the inability of the Student Assembly to voice its opinion in the decision-making process. From the moment that Mr. Morrow let it be known that "Lois Lane" would follow Moe Howard's appearance here, vocal members of certain interest groups began labeling him "apolitical." They accused him of choosing his programs solely on the basis of their nostalgic appeal, rather than their relevance to important social and political problems. When the issue was finally brought before the Student Assembly, the Assembly through its usual bureaucratic bungling and mass confusion approved a — — — — vague series of motions. Amazing as it may seem, the Assembly voted 16-12 to make the appearance of William Kunstler a priority, then decided by acclamation to direct Mr. Morrow "to look into the possibility of bringing him to U.B. during the Spring Semester Program." In the third and final motion, the Assembly voted 18-15 to postpone indefinitely amotion that would have explicitly directed Mr. Morrow to seek out Mr. Kunstler, until Mr. Morrow could ascertain whether the programs he had already planned would preclude the possibility of having enough funds for a Kunstler program. Contrary to what compainants Richard Sokolow and Gloria Prozan claimed at Monday's hearing, neither the letter nor the "spirit" of the Assembly's debate and actions were overwhelmingly in favor of Mr. Kunstler. If the Assembfy had anything in mind, it failed as usual to express itself clearly. The Judiciary's decision to issue a restraining order was a sound one because it gives the Assembly another chance to be decisive about something, especially since Mr. Morrow has already agreed to follow an explicit directive from that body provided he, or anyone, can understand what the Assembly wants. For those who seem to feel that Mr. Morrow lacks a fundamental awareness of important issues, it is worth noting that he worked hard during the summer to set up a debate between Willaim Shockley and several faculty members, a discussion that certainly would have met — — — anyone's criteria for "relevance." Mr. Morrow has also brought other noteworthy and topical speakers including Abba Eban, Ramsey Clark, John Conyers, Gloria Steinem, and rape expert Frederic Storaska. Certainly, his conduct as Speaker's Bureau Chairman has not been faultless. He passed up an opportunity to bring Brooklyn Congresswoman and House Judiciary Committee member Elizabeth Holtzman here for a nominal fee. Mr. Morrow has also been accused of being stubborn and elitist, and unfortunately, some of his actions lend credence to those charges. When pushed, as he has been during the Kunstler episode, he has too often defended his position with statements that have made him sound, intentionally or not, as if only he knows what a good — program is. Although we believe that Mr. Kunstler's appearance here would be especially relevant and worthwhile in light of the ongoing Attica trials, it is not for this newspaper to determine who should speak on this campus. Nor is it the place of special interest group representatives to appoint themselves arbiters of taste and cultural exposure for this University. If they are so convinced that Lois Lane's appearance on this campus last night was a waste of money, how do they account tor the fact that the program sold out in three hours? But a speaker's program limited by the tastes and imagination of one person is also inherently unsound, even though the University is fortunate to have heard a fairly impressive group of speakers over the past few years. Ideally, a broad-based committee should be formed to select speakers such a process would be more visible and more open than the — system of informal advisement that is currently practiced. Whatever the outcome of today's Assembly meeting, we hope that all of the parties involved will not lose sight of the fact that the speaker's program is perhaps the single most visible use of the mandatory fee. Surely the students here deserve their money's worth.

The problem begins internally, with a whole set of struggles that are not even clearly formed in my own head yet. It winds up, unfortunately, being externalized, and causing a lot of pain. It is not it ever been, very easy for me to get now, close to people. As you may have guessed from efforts at filling this space. My standards for the behavior of the people I am attracted to are ridiculously high. Not quite as high as some of those I reserve for myself, of course, but much good that does anyone at all. I know in some fundamental way, that safety only exists internally, at least when it comes to deciding whether dr not another human being is someone who is not going to burn you. Well actually, burn you unnecessarily is more along the line that my defensiveness usually takes. It is very clear that giving people only one chance to hit you is a little bit crazy, at the minimum and rises sharply from that base line Wonderful, | so I’m wierd, I hope that recognition helps you since it hasn't done me a whole lot of good so far. Damn good thing am an optimist or I would be in real trouble. The item that turned out to be the one that caused most ty Slecse of the pain and left almost everyone feeling rather unsafe involved surety. Being close is something which makes me very anxious, so I defend against it by a variety of methods. One is the above noted method of keeping all the fuck-ups at arms length This is a valuable method because if you adjust your standards accordingly, you can include almost everyone in it at one time or another. Another superior method is not being sure what you feel about someone, since obviously only a damned fool would proceed further into a relationship of which he wasn't sure Right? Of course! (What kind of a fool it is who is never sure of what he feels is something we may or may not discuss at some later point in this conversation.) This second method is one that I use with consistency and considerable success. Depending on what you consider successful of course. To quote the lady who has been putting up with me more consistently than anyone else over the last couple of years, I spend a lot of time "in like, not in love.’’ There is a piece of me that has enormous difficulty either in feeling, or admitting, a certain intensity of feeling that I am willing to pin that particular label on. Caring about people is all right, people being important is tolerable, but being in love . . . excuse me while I stop shuddering. I am aware of having felt something very intense about people off and on over the last decade or so. From where 1 am now, it looks as if those particular sets of feelings were rather neurotic. (One of the wonderful things about being enmeshed in psychology is the labeling system it gives you to deal with your own behavior.) Neurotic in the sense that my needs were coloring the way that I saw-the person, and previous _ |j I HI that the feelings I had for them than for something I would have liked them to be. Which is something most of us are capable of doing, I believe, but which rarely gets us good places over So for the last month I long periods of time. have been trying to sort out my head. Since inherent in sorting out said head has been re-evaluating the relationships around me it has not been altogether pleasant. I do not like hurting people. Empathy, or guilt, or whatever it is distasteful to me. It is not easy to increase the distance between people who care about each other without hurting both people. It may be impossible, in fact . . . but I will settle for - improbable at this point. All of which was hard enough without the difficult reality of there being another woman involved. (Or should that be ANOTHER WOMAN?) The hassle being that 1 suddenly realized that I feel differently around different people. Outside of the fact that I am a little slow, I would appreciate it greatly if you would stop laughing and just keep reading. It may take me a while to rediscover these basic truths that you already know, but you might be a little kind. In addition to being slow, 1 am also afflicted with pride. It’s an awful combination. Anyway, when it came down to the crunch, 1 was having a lot of feelings about two people at once. Which is a very unpleasant place to be for just about everyone involved when the there klutz involved can’t discriminate very well once feelings get past certain levels. Anxiety out certain processes first, differentially 1 tnink. When 1 am fouled up badly I am able to proceed down the road doing practical things with relatively little difficulty. Anything emotional is a problem of completely different dimensions. My immediate response is to hibernate, to find a small, private, one-person sized hole and curl up. The theory apparently is that the whole thing will blow over if I wait long enough. It is a wonderful theory. Like many other of my theories, not to mention the rest of the worlds, it seems to be under-connected to reality. More specifically, said theory has yet to work. Such problems rarely go away. They do sometimes dissipate however, Le. somebody else does something which makes it easier to touch what you are feeling, or at least to make choices. What doesn’t disappear is the pain, and the tissue. You come out knowing a little more about yourself, and a little more about some other folks. But at the end there is some real doubt about the worth of all that in comparison to the hurt that people experience. There are so nicer many compulsions than having to understand yourself. Why couldn’t I have something quieter and less damaging to me and to other people? Stamp collecting? Novel writing? Bird watching? Perhaps I should hang a sign around my neck DANGER, COMPULSIVE SELF EXPLORER APPROACH WITH CAUTION. I’ll think on it. If you see such a sign, the probability of it being me is fairly high. On anything else I ain’t taking any bets. Have a good week Pax. scar - The right to public space; whose is it? To the Editor. In Monday’s issue of The Spectrum, a letter to editor appeared which publically accused Trap-A-Trip Ltd., a branch office of a New York agency, of demonstrating “a blatant disregard for the limited publicity space on campus. It has come to our attention that public space is that space, whether viewed in The Spectrum letters and ads and on the school bulletin boards, to be of a first come . . . first serve nature!!

On Monda> night, January 20, 1975, I left the Main Campu; library to take the bus back to North Campus where 1 reside.

They indicated that this was not their policy and offered no assistance to help us out of our predicament stranded in sub-freezing weather in the middle of the night. Fortunately, I was able to spend the night in a friend’s room from where I telephoned Security to register a complaint. However, I feel obliged to put my complaint in writing in the hope that some action may be taken to avoid similar situations in the future. 1. Given the widespread geographic nature of the two campuses, university officials must be responsible for inter-campiis busses running on time and according to schedule. 2. In emergency situations such as outlined above, Campus Security should be prepared to — - — and/or transportation as needed.

As a student on this campus, 1 was extremely disappointed in the Monday, January 27 issue of The Spectrum. On Friday, January 24th, The Spectrum printed a photograph of the defamation of the Jewish Student Union bulletin board, first floor Norton Union. In its following issue. The Spectrum chose to devote one whole page to the tragedy of the nickel candy bar, totally deleting any comment on the significance of the forementioned “grafitti.” It frightens me when I see no response by the student newspaper on swastikas scribbled on an official University bulletin board. Is it The Spectrum’s policy to ignore anything that isn’t too pleasant (in order to prevent its readers from becoming upset), or anything which might reveal the background of part of its Editorial Board? It is an outrage that such an occurrence could be so obviously ignored by the “student” newspaper. Debbie Richards Editor's note: The "one whole page” that was devoted to the tragedy of the nickel candy bar was part of a full page advertisement by Reader’s Digest. Without the revenue generated by such ads, The Spectrum would be unable to publish many of the things it presently does and that includes photographs of bulletin hoards. O'Neill fouls out To the Editor. Middle Class College To the Editor This is a letter in support of the proposed Class Studies College’s right to self-determination over the issues essential to the existence of its academically sound program. We think the right to determine whether the presence of lower and upper class people is appropriate in certain courses is a vital componant part of that right to self-determination. Historically, such terms as “poor but honest” and “upper crust” have been used to stand for all decent human beings. This reflects the ideology of all economically polarized societies (e.g., Latin-American banana republics). The Chartering Committee’s creation of a false issue around MCSC’s generic use of the word “money” is really an attack on the right of Middle Class both in and outside of MCSC to effectively address issues relevant to their own lives in the most concrete and meaningful way for the Middle Class. Middle Our syllabus includes those courses which are relevant to the experiences of the Middle Calss. Seminars will be conducted where we will bemoan the fact that while the upper class has oil depletion allowances, and the lower class has Welfare and Medicaid, all we, as members of the Middle Class have, are outstanding mortgage payments, tuition bills and ulcers. It would be sadly ironic if one of the University’s most innovative and educationally rewarding programs went out the window simply because a handful of supposedly aware people do not realize that the lower and upper classes have been excluded from certain courses as a means of fighting, rather than reversing discrimination. We urge every member of the lower and upper classes to support Middle Class Studies College’s struggle for self-determination, for their exclusion from our courses is to their own advantage. The success of this college is to everyone’s success. This letter is in response to the awkward attempt by M. O’Neill to describe the Braves-Knicks game the other night. This person downgrades Buffalo and its suburbs to a point of obscurity. But before he insults the city he dehumanizes the members of the Braves. He treats any miscue seen as being the norm rather than the exception. No team could be as bad as he contends the Braves are (except possibly the Knicks). Mr. O’Neill shows his ignorance of Buffalo and the Braves by his generalizations and trite phrases. This article characterizes what is quite often said about Buffalo by those persons too busy to look past their own noses and discover what Buffalo is really like. It’s a great city with a lot of fantastic people. I won’t even attempt to reply to the commentary of the game. He must have either been sleeping, or too busy thinking of insulting things to say about Buffalo to see the game that was actually played. Well, all I can say is that if Mr. O’Neill doesn’t like Buffalo or its people, he can get his shit together and leave, thus making room for someone who wants to live in a city named after a smelly beast.

He said he did not want to see Student Association, which funds Speakers Bureau, “give money” to an Attica rally. that he did not try to “lead them [the Assembly] on” about how much money remained in the Speakers Bureau fund. After a brief deliberation, the SJ determined that a temporary restraining order could prevent harm to the “irreparable undergraduate student body,” while at the same time noting that it hoped the order would not undermine Mr. Morrow’s position. The order will remain in effect at least until tomorrow, when the Court will examine the “merits of the case.” Mr. Morrow claimed he had negotiated an $800 figure with Mr. Kunstler’s representatives, and had Second thoughts about it when he learned that the ABLD wanted Mr. Kunstler to be a keynote speaker for an Attica rally.

Actually the Buffalo-St. Anselms game had figured to be a close one and it might have been had referrees Dick Marr and Frank Kelly not taken matters into their own hands. Playing with their whistles like kids with new toys, the men in striped shirts blew their whistles early and often, calling 36 penalties for a total of 147 minutes. Before it was over five players had been ejected, receiving one game suspensions. Buffalo’s Tom Haywood was the first to leave, getting thrown out in the opening stanza. But it wasn’t until 13 minutes into the second period that all hell broke loose. Eagle forward John Powers apparently swung his stick at Buffalo defenseman Paul Songin while the Bulls were clearing the puck out of their end. Mark Sylvester went to defend Songin as Powers’ linemate John Cahill made it a foursome. They were all thrown out. Tension was so high the rest of the night that the teams did not make the customary handshakes afterward. — — - Two gone, two left The loss of Songin and Sylvester, two of the four defensemen that Buffalo coach Ed Wright brought on the New England trip, leaves the Bulls with only two bonafide defensemen for tonight’s contest, a bleak and tiring prospect for Mike Perry Basketball (6-9) 25 January vs. Catholic University (Memorial Auditorium) 30 48 78 Catholic 39 48 87 Buffalo Scoring; McGlynn Catholic 2, Slattery 21.

In several ways the St. Anselms game resembled a pickup affair. Buffalo had to put a deposit down on the key for the locker room, and the team switched ends in the middle of the period. But the worst “pickup" aspect was the fact that both teams had to exit the ice through the same gate, a risky situation considering the temper of the game. Sunday’s easy win was highlighted by three individual milestones. Mike Klym recorded his hundredth career goal and Rick Wolstenholme his hundredth career point for the Bulls.

The Spectrum Page nine . �On the mat Buffalo wrestlers pinned by Binghamton for second loss riding time advantage to defeat the Bull’s Mack Sams. by David J. Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer In a battle of New York state wrestling powers, the top ranked Bulls were upset by a hungry team from Binghamton last Saturday before a screaming throng of well over 500 in Binghamton’s gym. The Colonials, number two in the state polls, took an early lead and held it all the way for a 19-13 victory. The loss was only the second of the season suffered by Buffalo and it marked the first loss to a New York school since a 1971 defeat at the hands of Oswego State. Buffalo guard Otis Horne, who has scored 60 points in his last two games, has been selected The Spectrum's Athlete of the Week. Horne hit on 18 of his 32 attempts to score 38 points, just three short of the school record, as he led the Bulls past Catholic University Saturday night. He did set the record for most points by a Bull at Memorial Auditorium along with the record for most field goals made and attempted. Otis now leads the Bulls in scoring, averaging 18 points per game. Honorable mention goes to Chris Barone, who scored 16 points in the women's basketball team's win over Fredonia, and freshman swimmer Ted Brenner, who has been busy rewriting Buffalo's records in the backstroke and individual medley. It was a frustrating afternoon for the Bulls, marked by questionable refereeing late in the match and some sub-par wrestling on the part of many Bulls. The Colonials got off to a quick 9-3 lead, as only undefeated 134 pounder Jim Young escaped defeat. These early bouts were action-packed, class, where the 126 pound particularly Binghamton’s heavily favored Tim Borshoff needed a Home cooking With three bouts remaining and the Bulls down by nine, Emad Faddoul was all over Colonial Freshman John Carra. However, Carra managed to keep himself from being pinned with the help of several stalling techniques which were not detected by what Buffalo Coach Ed Michael termed “home cooked officiating.” More stalling by Binghamton’s Mike Polakoff earned him a draw in the 190 class and put Buffalo’s flu-ridden heavyweight Charlie Wright in the unenviable position of needing a pin to tie the match, something he was in no condition to do. But despite questionable calls and Wright’s illness, the Bulls were defeated rather soundly. Binghamton went into the match unafraid of the reputation which precedes the nationally ranked Bulls, and it paid off. Young was very impressed by Binghamton. “They are a class team, and this is a class school,” he noted. eiCEMTENNIfil FILM SERIES 15 Wfeeks Every Thursday at 8 pm “WEGOTAFAHOUT DISCOUNT.” Historical Society Headquarters 25 Nottingham Court, Buffalo l.m J I’Al'L RKVhRt'S RlOt .mj 177dor Tilt HKSSIAS RKNhOAOhS.

UUAB Movie: Trash, Norton Conference Theatre �Spring 1975 Programs Community Action Corps 345 Norton Hall State University of New York at Buffalo Buffalo, N.Y. 831-3605/3609 Community Action Corps (CAC) is a volunteer organization which annually attracts over 2000 students. CAC volunteers work in day care centers, hospitals, education projects, social service programs, legal and welfare services, social action projects, drug and youth counseling programs, and studies contributing to the elimination of social injustice and inequitable opportunities. It is the belief of CAC to operate on all possible levels; to alleviate immediate social problems while working on long-range social change. A basic concept of CAC is that students must be given a chance to expand their classroom learning experiences through action and service, into different learning experiences. Our rationale is that the University must not be isolated from the community; that the needs of the community are great; that paying lip service to our social problems is inadequate; and that the proper utilization of University talents can dynamically alleviate many of our problems. Also, we feel that only through an integration of theoretically based learning and practical classroom community experience will a student reach his/her full development. Thus, involving students in the community develops a reciprocal relationship beneficial to both. Essential to the realization of these goals, though, is commitment by the volunteer worker of both time and energy, and understanding and openness on the part of the community and its agencies. CAC believes that the only way to institute real change within a community is to understand the complex connections between economic, political and social workings. CAC is therefore in a constant slate of involving itself in and consideration of new facilities, services and contacts In the community, allowing us to further grasp the many obstacles and situations that we may encounter. We are dedicated to the notion that in order for the Community Action Corps to be effective, it must be an alive, oh-going center for all resources, materials, people and ideas. We at CAC therefore welcome ALL people, with whatever they have to offer, to come and join with us in working towards these goals. Below are some commonly asked questions about CAC. If you have more questions about these or any other matters please feel free to get in touch with us. 1. What can I do? Plenty! Many opportunities exist for people who realize there is more to an education than sitting in a class and taking notes, and there is more to being a citizen than voting once a year. Besides the projects and resource conlacJjJis(cd under the seven program areas in this brochure (Action, Health Care, Education, Drug and Youth Counseling, Day Care, Recreation, and Legal and Welfare Rights) we have additional contacts that might better meet your needs. Prior experience is rarely necessary. CAC has set up, often in cooperation with University and Community units, orientation and training programs for the volunteers to get the most out of their experience and serve the community best. These workshops and seminars are geared towards the specific needs of a student volunteer in a specific setting. If someone is interested in getting more involved in CAC and community organizing and coordinating, CAC has a few positions that defintiely meet these needs: a) Project Heads persons with specific experience in a certain projects or related — experience; generally supervise project; coordinate volunteers, CAC, and the community, b) Resource Aides persons are needed in all — seven program areas to investigate community contacts and problems, plan and institute new programs, assist in the placement of volunteers and generally work with the area coordinator. CAC is c) Research and Development funded primarily through mandatory student tees. Many of our own and affiliated programs are stifled because of lack of sufficient People in R&D will work on obtaining outside funding, on the CAC library, and other ventures that the individual wishes to take on. No prior experience is necessary The above positions are open to anyone who is willing to commit themselves. These ar< excellent opportunities to get more involved in CAC and see community service from a different — vantage-point Often people come to us with an idea that they would like to develop. CAC is always open new ideas tor projects and welcomes anyone come and speak to us. Over the past ten years of working in the Western New York community we have learned a lot and are very willing to share this knowledge with you There is a whole world out there, and a lot ot work to do. We at CAC feel that there is very little value to us in becoming teachers, doctors lawyers, therapists, scientists, etc. in a society that allows such social, economic and political injustice. The only way to start things rolling is it everyone starts something. Drop by the CAC office and look at what you can do to to 2. Why should I volunteer through CAC? By maintaining the diversified program of community projects and resources, CAC attempts to provide an outlet tor students to express their interests and knowledge via community service Often, we cannot predict every interest of every student. Consequently, CAC feels that it is our obligation to try and find an adequate placement foi eveiyone that comes to us Furlheimore, since all of the CAC projects are maintained and often supervised b\ CAC to make sure llial these programs lonilutl on-going, activities, well-oigani/ed, and planned the likelihood ol serious mistakes and lailures is greatly reduced CAC is geared toward and structured hy the needs ol its volunteers. The organization ananges transportation tor volunteers, cither by using the CAC van, arranging car pools, 01 reimbursing volunteers lor n anspor tation expenses. CAC the supports by coordinating volunteers orientation sessions, in-service training seminars and workshops, special speakers and events. These are to provide some perspective on the nature ot the problems in the community and try to enable everyone involved to gel as much as possible out ol the experience 3. How much work? time is required for volunteer exceptions can be lound, the time requirement is one semester and four hours per week. Although general 4. Can I receive academic credit? It has been CAC's policy to try to place —continued on next page— �academic credit in the background of our work. We do not wish to "buy" volunteers through offering credit. Yet we do feel that persons who arc dedicated to their work should be given the to opportunity take themselves further.

Resource aides, as their part in the CAC organization, are constantly investigating and 6. What are the responsibilities of a volunteer? To list all the possible opportunities and responsibilities of the volunteer position with CAC would be an enormous task. The most important responsibility of a volunteer is to live up to his/her commitment. If a volunteer says he or she will show up somewhere, they must. So often, the high point of a person's week is the time they spend with a volunteer. The CAC volunteer is an integral part of a program, if you as a volunteer do not show up, a lot of people are hurt. So bclore you sign up for a project, make sure you can make it regularly. If not, please find something that you can attend. Call if you know you arc going to miss a meeting.

Safety Council An active safely council is desperately needed in this university. Many hazards exist, such as poor lighting, lack ol fire extinguishers, etc. Volunteers will seek out these hazards on the campuses and make recommendations to the university administration for their removal. Saleiv Council will work closely with other groups, such as SA and Environmental Health and Salcty, to alleviate these hazards to the university and community. CAC Day Camp I he Day Camp Committee hopes to realize its goals oi establishing an economically and racially integrated day camp tor Buffalo area children for 1975. Up until now, CAC has and a great need has been shown for us to continue to work with the children from our various projects in the months when school is not in session. The basic proposal has already been prepared, although there is a great deal of room for change. As ot May ol last semester, it had looked as if the camp was all set to run. Unfortunately sufficient I unding to cover costs ot such things as buses and insurance couid not be secured in time. This year, the summer of only lunctioned from September to May, however, we arc starling much earlier and the situation looks bright. However, the day camp can only function it we have the help and support ol new volunteers. Everyone is welcome. Persons with experience in day camps, knowledge of grant foundations, and creative ideas for children are encouraged to join this committee however, this experience is not essential tor volunteers Community Interships Strategies for Social Change high-rises to put What are the responsibilities of the CAC and resource contacts to the volunteers? These too are almost endless and are relative to the’ particular setting. These programs must place the volunteers as quickly as possible with the needs of the particular volunteer in mind. The agencies must keep in close contact with CAC and the appropriate CAC area coordinator. But most important, the projects and contacts must keep the volunteers’ welfare very much in mind or CAC will not place any more volunteers in such settings until such conditions are rectified. The following are detailed desriplions of the seven program areas ot CAC. Please read it over carefully. For more information, or if you are interested in volunteering, or if you have any ideas you would like to discuss, CAC is interested in hearing from you.

We tcel the university can otter a wealth of resources to assist in the social growth and development of the area. We also find that the community can provide students with the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge in a practical situation. By becoming intimately involved in working with one of the many social service agencies, student volunteers can develop a deeper understanding of the issues and problems in Buffalo as they relate to the people who are directly affected by them. These agencies specifically deal with legal problems, housing problems and general community assistance. This project seeks reliable volunteers for placement in an an agency of their choice. Specific tasks may include researching topics, providing services to people, and assisting in the daily operations of the agency. Time arrangements are variable, but it is hoped that volunteers can devote approximately ten to fifteen hours a week. Independent study credit will be avilable. The potential tor learning, as welt as a rewarding personal experience, is unlimited. �Drug and Youth Counseling Program Bob Bertone — Coordinator Sunshine House Sunshine House deals with some of ihe more aspects of contemporary living. We attempt to help people who are having emotional The Drug and Youth Counseling programs in which CAC serves the community consists of a diversity of clientele and situations that stun the imagination and challenge the individual. These programs require volunteers with time, patience, sensitivity and dedication because a lifetime of troubles are never washed away in minutes. The volunteer we seek may come from backgrounds as varied as the clientele, but his motivation and human abilities are what we will have to assess. It is one we must attempt in order to place the volunteer in a setting where both the clientele and the volunteer will both achieve maximum trying problems, general problems in everyday life, drug related problems, and drug emergencies. In its birth, Sunshine House was an acid rescue center. This was at a time when hallucinogens prevalent were very in the community and people were having a hard lime dealing with the emotional and medical aspects. As time passed we fell that in order to make our sevices more more useful, we would have to expand and continually bend to the community's needs. Today Sunshine House deals with people on a one-to-one basis. We are here to help with emotional and drug problems that persons encounter in daily living. If it is fell that a person needs, or wants additional help, we make use of our extensive referral file Most of our services are in the form of phone counseling. Persons who make use of our services will find a friendly helping hand al the other end of the phone. Sunshine House also otters outreach service in the case of an emergency when the person cannot come to us. Situations such as drug overdose, bad acid trips, medical emergencies, and the like may fit into our outreach realm. Sunshine House is located al I Ufa Winspear Ave. (one block east of Main Street, near UB). The door is open for those who wish to speak to someone on a one-to-one basis in an informal atmosphere. All of our services ate — output and satisfaction from the encounter. Many volunteers come in with the attitude that counseling is a glorious, rewarding profession; it can be. One must also realize it is a trying and frequently disappointing profession. We try to judge each volunteer as to his ability to cope with these challenges and guide him in a choice we believe to be in the best interests of all. In many cases a volunteers cannot be placed in a short period and even though the need is great, the supply of people with the time and motivation is never sufficient. If you are placed in a program you can expect some form of training orientation that will probably cover general counseling skills and a special orientation to problems and techniques useful in your center. These training programs may take one week to three months. Patience and the ability to handle constructive criticism are necessary. Placement can never be guaranteed since each agency sets its own standards and criteria tor volunteers. Most require a minimum of four hours a week at the center. We have grouped our contact agencies into four primary strictly confidential. Sunshine House is staffed listings Alcohol-Related, Youth Counseling, Crisis Intervention, and Community Counseling — Centers, ALCOHOL-RELATED are a wide diversity of programs available in this area, ranging from rehabilitation programs, to drop-in centers and speakers' bureaus. The Erie County Rehab Center provides an outlet for the homeless and/or alcoholic man to work towards social readjustment and self-responsibility. The Night People Drop-In Center provides a place for the "night people” ol Buffalo to seek refuge from the streets and tind some warm human companionship and understanding help. The Buffalo Area Council on Alcoholism also provides for several other programs that can be suited to different volunteers, particularly working in public education programs in local high schools, etc. More in-depth assessments of Night People and the Rehab Center follow. There Night People Drop-In Center Director: Thomas Kreuder Address: 50 W. Chippewa Street Phone; 885-0877 Hours; Wed.—Sun., 9 p.m.-3 a.m. The Night People Drop-|n Center is located on Chippewa Street in downtown Buflalo. Sponsored by the Area Council on Alcoholism, its main target population is the debilitated skid-row alcoholic. However, a variety ol people with a broad spectrum of problems might be encountered on any given night. Its purpose is to provide a non-threatening accepting atmosphere conducive to socialisation, recreation (in the form of cards, checkers, etc.), as well as individual and group counseling and referral services Since there is a small staff (Director, Ass't. Director and one part-time counselor), several volunteers are needed nightly in order to be creative and imaginative in the use of their talents. Tasks range from serving soup and distributing clothing, to counseling and assisting people in getting hospitalization when necessary. Hopefully volunteers will grow in their understanding and sensivitity of human situations and problems, as the result o( their interactions with people from many walks ol life. Night People offers a unique and refreshing approach to a social problem during the late night houts, a time when most agencies have closed their doors to the public. Volunteers are asked to commit themselves to at least part of one night per week on a regular basis. This provides a certain continuity for the volunteer as well as enabling the staff to depend on their support. An intensive 18-houi training program is offered to all volunteers, as well as on-the-job supervision. Transportation is helpful but not absolutely necessary, as other arrangements can be made. Erie County Rehab Center The Erie County Rehab Center is a public by volunteers who training extensive program an Training consists of informative lectures and small group interactions. Sensivity is stressed. Once completing the formal training, volunteers do on-the-job training with an experienced member of the House. Upon becoming a member, persons are required to work a minimum of four hours per week. Persons who are interested in getting involved with people, and who care about others, may be interested in working at Sunshine House.

I he volunteer can look loiw.ncl to ,i very diverse group ol clientele. The CA( projei I is aimed at providing a non alcoholic related social outlet loi this clientele. Without the volunteers, the social outlets are lew, mainly because ol the Rehab Center's understalIing due to a poor budget.

Also availablewill be.the use ol the gym (acidities at the Bullalo Stale Hospital. This would then add basketball, swimming, bowling, etc. to the recreation program. There is an informal training program the with present at center reimbursements provided lor transportation The times the volunteer can come remains flexible. However, we’re trying to gel volunteers in time slots close together so we are able to work as a team, with group efforts and results. Since the volunteer program is accepted by the stall, volunteers are welcome to attend or start any activities that they (eel might benefit the clientele A word ol caution: Volunteers must always keep in mind that they ate limited in what they can accomplish in the way ol rehabilitation. Because ol the somewhat “inadequate" facilities, volunteer must not enter the project with inflated expectations. The project’s main outlet to rehabilitate will come mainly through recreation or whatever type of relationship the volunteer will build with the client. We urge the volunteers to build a "buddy system" with one or two ol the clients, so in time ol decision, they will) have a great influence in the results. Hopefully, with this type of relation, they can be more effective at "rehabilitating” that particular client. Through this type of experience, the volunteer develops a beltar insight not only to the difference in people, but it also makes them ask, is there really any difference between the man in City Hall and the man at 219 Elm? YOUTH COUNSELING PROGRAMS These programs have their primary direction usually oriented toward treatment of young people with problems, or the prevention of these problems by providing social outlets, discussion sessions and some understanding support and guidance to the youth in the community. Programs like the “V” counseling centers, located in several areas ol the city and suburbs, provide this grassroots type approach to south problems but volunteers are also expected to be able to handle all who appraoch them with problems from the community, and the training is oriented towards this goal. Compass House provides a shelter and understanding guidance lempoiarx youth in the city area.

Supervision will be provided. cases, and CRISIS INTERVENTION SERVICES At this point here in Buffalo there are two primary sources for a person to look towards when in crisis Sunshine House and the Suicide Prevention and Crisis Service. Both agencies — handle a spectrum of clients and problems and have large adjunct goals and projects - but the primary focus seems to be on crisis intervention services, usually via the telephone. The nature of the work requires a long training period and a dedicated individual, sensitive to the needs of a person they cannot see. The programs offered by both centers are challenging and interesting, the work demanding and frequently very satisfying, sometimes disappointing. The necessity for people to be there when a voice cries out for help is great and the need seldom fades. An intoduction to the work of Sunshine House is enclosed and more information on either center can be acquired by speaking with though one ot the coordinators in CAC. Community Counseling Centers The Community Counseling Centers provide a free counseling service for people of the Bullalo area. Persons with problems ol marriage, lonliness, social adjustment, alienation, and other ills, find help at these centers. All counselors are trained volunteers who work during the evenings (7 p.m. on) at one ol the fivecounseling centers. In the past, students have been a prodcutive resource to these centers The centers are located at various parts ol the city and arc open one night a week each. Before a lay counselor works with a client he must attend a training session or work on a team with an experienced counselor. Each center is stalled with professional (psychologist) lay and social counselors. The centers are located at West Side Lafayette Baptist Church, Lafayette and Parkdale Streets; Tuesday nights.

We have found that there is a great deal of unrealized energy among us, which we feel could be channeled into several aspects of community service. Such work has provided us with a sense of reality that may otherwise be obliterated by our everyday routine of burying ourselves from the outside world. Participating in an Education project has for some triggered off an incentive to pursue a particular field in school. For others volunteers work is a practical and tangible activity to accompany the booklearning, and help the individual remain in touch with personal goals. For you, the motivation behind doing volunteer work may be curiosity or simply that you have a few free hours each week, which we feel is just as valid as anything else. It would be fodlish on our part to pretend we have the all-emcompassing answer to the problems of education, or the contradictions we experience in our own philosophies and lives. Rather than making overly ambitious goals for Spring we will make one: to continue our work in the improved and more community an in coordinated way. As for new goals, we leave them to you to design, according to the needs of the situation as they arise. We attribute our successes to our adaptability, and our failures our failures contribute as much to experience as anything else,, and we learn from well, them. Education is organized into three sub areas education, special education and alternative education. Within each sub-area are group projects which include; Black Rock Education Project, Tonawanda Indian Action Program, Friendship House, Creative Learning Project, and Center. Each of these the exception ol the Teacher Resource Center, is an educational program for children of varying ages, located in different pai ts the Teacher Resource projects, with of the city, and relies on volunteer support. The Teacher Resource Center, which is the newest and most innovative of the CAC projects, is located in a storefront, to provide teachers in Buffalo with a place to "drop in" and exchange ideas and materials, and discus' Black Rock Educational Center will be meeting in the Black Rock section ol Buffalo for tutoring and recreational purposes. Tonawanda Indian Action Project meets at Norton Union on Monday and Tuesday Creative Learning Project This project is a self-governing tutoring project for children with emotional, organic, perceptual or physical problems that affect their ability to learn in their present school environment. A one-hour, one-to-one tutoring session and a one-hour group recreation period is held Monday—Thursday from 4-6 p.m. It is the hope of this project to use the one-to-one relationship as a growing experience for both tutor and student. At the same time, we hope motivate the student to overcome his or her problem, and also to realize his self-worth. We offer a variety of opportunities to our students that are not normally available to them. Among others, we offer drama, art, sports and dance I There is a mandatory series of workshops on the dynamics of. and insight into the children and ideas on how to tutor them, for all Jgll volunteers, Patient and innovative people are needed, and no prior experience is necessary. Please join us. The Creative Learning Project Tutorial Training Program Unfortunately, in our society turning 60 is synonomous with becoming useless. Millions of our "seniour citizens” are abandoned by their families as well as society as a whole. Still many of these retired people have valuable skills that arc left untapped What we are trying to do this semester is to train these people as tutors lor children that are having learning problems. Through training sessions on tutoring techniques, theories sensitivity training and other important skills we will be able to place these people in reading centers and schools as qualitied tutors.

Descriptions o( these programs are listed below. There are still many groups which haven’t been reached, but the development of resource "contacts is a continuing process. Once a group has been reached, one of 'heir members is established as a contact person to facilitate communication between it and CAC When a contact demands a more structured participation on the part of CAC, or an internal program needs to be more clearly defined, a project head is designated To clarity the task of the legal and welfare following outline is given: (I) To contact and to be contacted by coordination, the community organizations utilizing non-paid members; staff (2) To determine if these organizations are related to the goals of CAC; (3) To publicize this information to university students; (4) To evaluate community contacts (what work is being done by the students and how the students feel about the work they are doing) and to collect feedback and suggestions for further community contact; seminars where (5) To provide applicable and to develop a resource library which will contain information on what other cities and stales are doing, periodicals such as Workforce Clearing House Review Challenger and other useful books and journals Suggestions and contributions are accepted training PROJECTS American Civil Liberties Union The ACLU is a nationwide organization dedicated to preserving the constitutionally guaranteed rights of the people. Most cases deal with* arbitrary discrimination generally in jobs, housing, courtroom procedures and schools. CAC-ACLU workers assist in every phase of the Union’s activities. Last semester, students in-session courts (city, county and village) to insure that people were not being taken advantage of; investigation of cases, precedents, etc.; and many others were able to volunteer their services in the impeachment drive This semester, similar programs will be operating; however, new ideas for new piojects are very welcome Welfare Rights Application Project (WRAP) This project basically involves volunteer aid to welfare recipients and prospective clients, who have difficulty in filling out an involved eleven page application. As a volunteer you will undergo a training program (a one hour demonstiation) on how to fill out this application. It is essential that the illiterate and loreign born Buffalo residents, who desperately need public assistance, get it. Many are discouraged by this technical and highly bureaucratic formality. Last semester, WRAP had volunteers go down to the welfare office at 158 Pearl Street (Rath Building) once or twice a week, tor a couple of hours, to help in whatever capacity, to make a dehumanizing process more bearable. People who care, who feel that communit and campus interaction is important, arc needed. The Department of Social Services is located at 158 Pearl Street.

Volunteers are needed to provide additional staff to better allow a one-to-one contact of child to adult and thus enable each child to receive the individual attention he needs Objectives can be as tar-reaching as the individual volunteer would like since he is allowed to take on as much responsibility as he leels comfortable with.

Scott Agins Coordinator PROJECTS These Boys' Basketball League lor fifth and sixth grade schoolboys. League practices and games are held in Clark Hall during the last eight Sundays of the second semester. Boys have a chance to play basketball in an organized league learning the fundamentals of the game and the importance of teamwork. The volunteers coach teams of ten boys, in pairs, and the bbys look to them for leadership and confidence. An orientation session for volunteers who will coach and referee is held prior to the start of the season. Work is being done on establishing a girls' or co-ed league. The Community Companion Program The purpose of this project is to have a volunteer visit with an elderly person on a regular basis with the intent of companionship. The volunteer will obtain insight into the needs of the elderly and hopefully will be motivated to take action toward improvement of the elderly's distressful conditions of existence. The experience will hopefully enlighten the volunteer to the lad that il something isn’t done, they will have the same pitiful problems in their later years. The volunteer is expected to work 2—3 hours a week or whatever arrangements they make with the person they are visiting. The volunteer mostly deals with shut-ins and in addition to the idea of providing companionship, can run light errands. Plans for training seminars are in progress and should begin this semester. Transportation is provided through CAC's reimbursement policy, and when this project becomes involved with the Perry Project, transportation will be provided for the volunteers through Model Cities Agency’s jitney Service. Girl Scouts are on-going, CAC-oriented and ■implemented activities in which groups of students identify objectives and act strategically to effect their purposes. Buffalo State Hospital Group This group meets Wednesday evenings from 7-9 p.m. or -10 p.m. The majority of group members are former patients of Buffalo State Hospital; some inpatients also attend. Members’ ages range from 20 to the 50's and 60’s. The group’s purpose is to provide a warm social setting, in which people can talk freely to one another and enjoy both planning and participating in activities together. One major goal for this year is to increase interaction between all members of the group, volunteers and former patients. Some of the members’ social skills are rusty, and it is important that volunteers be patient in listening. Group activities are planned jointly. Another goal is to increase group participation in all planning. Many of the members are in the process of reconstructing their lives, attempting to find a job, gain vocational training or re-enter college. Above all this, Wednesday evening should be a time of encouragement and acceptance. In the past year various group activities have included swimming, picnicking, dinners, dances, sing-a-longs, horseback riding and movies. We need committed and innovative volunteers to strengthen communication within the group and to work on new ideas. If you arc interested, please contact CAC. Human Sexuality Center (Pregnancy Counseling Service) Room 356 Norton Hall 831-4902 The Human Center conjunction With CAC, is providing special troops for the inner city of Buffalo.

West Seneca State School 1 200 East West Road, West Seneca, N.Y The project at West Seneca State School will be working with mentally handicapped children and adults. The purpose is a simple one, to offer the children an alternative to watching TV and sitting the the ward night after night. We will be working in the area of recreation, doing different activities each week. Our purpose is to provide stimulating experiences for the children. Each week we will try to offer specific projects so that the activity can accomplish certain pre-set goals and be worthwhile to the children. Since we will be working at a State institution, the whole atmosphere will be different from that of private institutions. People who have not had the exprience of working at a State hospital will lind the whole structure ol operations a learning experience in ilsell. Most of the wards have 25 JO children and 2 nurses at night. The ward we will be working in will consist mainly of mongoloid and mentally retarded children. Anyone interested in special education can gain a good insight into the ellects ol institutional living. The children are starving for love and attention, and just your physical presence will make them happy. Some ol the children have specilic psychological and neurological disorders. The nurses' job is mainly maintenance because of the child-adult ratio, and we could help out by giving the children some ol the attention they desperately need.

Volunteers at various locations accompany the handicapped to these functions and meetings in the hope that they will learn more about how to deal with someone with a physical handicap. The project meets once a week on Sundays from 2—6 p.m. RESOURCE CONTACTS Resource Contacts are available community established organizations where a student can work on his/her own and be part of an organized group of people who are all working in the same service. These consist mostly of hospitals and other medical facilities. CAC has on hand all the necessary information for anyone wishing to volunteer in any of these facilities, so that volunteers can familiarize themselves with the positions open to volunteers at each of these services. The Hospital Buffalo General volunteers for many is recruiting areas within the Hospital new —Continued on next page— �Hospital. Volunteers are playing a much more Important part in patient care. Inservice nursing instructors teach the volunteers the basic skills necessary to deliver supportive nursing care. Volunteers now attend to a wide range of personal, non-theraputic services that busy nursing personnel are often unable to perform. Having volunteers transport patients to and from x-ray, radiation therapy, and physical therapy is extremely timesaving. Volunteers are also directly involved with the day-to-day activities right at the nursing stations. BGH needs volunteers to assist the floor secretaries in answering phones, typing and up charts. Volunteers give valuable clerical assistance in practically every Department within the Hospital. The Blood Bank, Eye Clinic, Outpatient Clinic, Social Service, and Urology are just a few among the variety of areas that could use this clerical assistance. Volunteers can choose to work in the evening rather than during the day. BGH, located on High Street one block from Main Street, provides volunteers with parking and a meal in the employee cafeteria. Many of our volunteers leel making that volunteer work allows them to escape their They feel that it is a means of giving of themselves and knowing that their help is needed. Whatever the reason for volunteering, BGH volunteers arc always needed and very much appreciated. A tew new programs are currently underway at BGH. Volunteers are now able to volunteer in the Operating Room. They will be exposed to an entire range of nursing services since an Operating Room includes not only the operations held within them, but also the nursing care necessary in pre-surgery conferences, set-up work, and daily routine. care Volunteers are also needed in admitting new patients. Our volunteers become involved in pre admissions, admissions and escorting patients to their rooms The Volunteer Service Department ol BGH is in the process of developing a post-surgery program lor the recreation-entertainment long-term patients. With the interest ol a group of volunteers, we will be able to gel this program underway The Cantalician Center for Learning 3233 Main Street, Buffalo, N.Y. 14214 General purposes and goals: The paramount purpose is to provide rehabilitative, educational utilitarian instruction' to the handicapped students so that they may become participating members of their community. Our goal is to help provide these mentally retarded children with a foundation and background of a variety of skills to use and build upon when they graduate. Objective of the volunteer: The volunteer is indispensible to the Cantalician Center because he can provide the extra rehabilitation and instruction for the child, augmenting that ot the teacher. Perhaps the volunteer's individual encounters with the child or his personalised therapies will further increase and stabilise the child’s knowledge. The volunteer can attain self-fulfillment and satisfaction within him after he has worked with a mentally retarded child. It is an interpersonal process of "giving” established between the volunteer and the child. Volunteers are given a variety ol opportunities in which to assist at the center. They can work within a classroom, with the class as a whole, or if they prefer, they may single out an individual child on a one-to-one basis. These activities range from learning to distinguish colors to lying a shoe. Those volunteers with specific interests, such as speech therapy, physical therapy, art, dance, etc. are given an opportunity to do work in their intended field by planning and executing therapeutic methods of their own choice. The specialized therapies in the school include a language department, where the emphasis is on but developing and remediating the speech and and language pf the children; a perceptual motor development department, where a combination of physical and occupational skills are used; a creative arts class, where dance therapy is utilized as a form of expression for the child; physical education; and specialized remedial reading skills are used for training purposes. This project is unique because its emphasis is not academic, but rather a total effort to train the child to perform to his fullest potential. This potential cannot be realized without the Meyer Memorial Hospital 462 Grider Street Purposes and goals: The purpose is to provide a teaching and learning experience for the student. Volunteers are utilized in all areas of hospital work. The student can learn about hospital work and at the same time help patients. Also, the staff at the hospital continue to have a growing respect for the student volunteers, which some departments vary. The only requirement will be a chest x-ray within the past year, and a free one can be provided to anyone. The volunteer experience at one of the best children’s hospitals in the state can be a very rewarding experience. teachers and community groups to communicate family planning population dynamics and human sexuality. They also conduct ongoing training programs, distribute literature and films, maintain a speakers bureau and a reserve library. Volunteers are needed in the position of library assistant and receptionist. This entails becoming familiar with the information on hand in the files and facilitating other peoples’ use of these materials. Volunteers are required to spend at least four hours a week. Volunteers are also needed in the 10 clinics a week as nurses' assistants to help prepare patients for examination and assisting them afterwards. Time requirements for this are also at least Vr-day a week. assistance of volunteers. The volunteer is expected to work, minimally, I or 2 hours per week.

If approved by SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer, it could mean the elimination of several administration-held positions on the FSA Board of Directors at this University*. Chancellor Boyer will make his decision after receiving recommendations from the Statewide Council of Campus Presidents, the Student Association of the State University (SASU), and State University alumni. The University-wide Task Force on Auxiliary Services, which formulated the proposal, was established because of the poor financial status of many FSA’s throughout the state, which some administrators feel is the fault of students. Edward Doty, FSA Treasifter and Vice President for Operations and Systems at the University, said previously that student control of the FSA would cause financial problems for the corporation. He noted that for the past two years, the administration-dominated FSA here in Buffalo has “run in the black.” Students would have a difficult time running the corporation, he explained, because responsibility changes hands each year. Ed Doty Student Association (SA) President Frank Jackalone explained that the committee’s recommendations would have an uncertain effect on the SA proposals, currently being considered by the FSA Board of Directors, to Monday, 27 January 1975 increase student and faculty representation on the membership of the corporation. The Board of Directors is elected from the membership, but the committee recommendations only specify particpation on the Board. The committee also recommended that State University campus Presidents not be given membership on FSA Boards of Directors. With Dr. Boyer’s approval, this would mean the expulsion of President Robert Ketter as President of the corporation. Dr. Ketter was ill and could not be reached for comment. While the plan would immediately reduce the number of administrators on the FSA Board, it would prevent students from ever acquiring majority control. Twelve other FSA Boards across the state stand to lose students if the proposal is implemented. Allowing flexibility In a memorandum to student government Presidents and students who are FSA Directors, SASU maintained that “students should have the dominant authority over an organization which so directly affects so many aspects of the daily life of SUNY students.” SASU also claims that “having a majority of studnets on FSA does not adversely affect the fiscal solvency of the corporation,” noting that the State University at Binghamton has 50 percent student representation on the FSA Board but the corporation is “one of the most fiscally sound in the state.” SASU has recommended that FSA Boards of Directors be composed of a maximum of one-third administration, a minimum of one third students, and the other third to be divided among students and faculty (with at least one —continued on page 8— Energy alternatives considered Risks vs. benefits: nuclear energy debate rages onward by Andrew Sacks Staff Writer Spectrum radioactive contamination. Other nuclear hazards include lack of long range techniques for storage and disposal of nuclear wastes, lack of adequate protection against ’ theft, and danger of a human error or engineering defects at one of the plants. Those favoring nuclear power use view it as an inexhaustible supply of safe, clean, and economical energy. They argue that traditional fossil fuels coal, oil and natural gas are ecologically hazardous and limited in supply, and that dependence on fossil fuels could be politically dangerous. Proponents of nuclear energy deny that nuclear reactors are unreasonably dangerous and cite official reports which have determined that the probability of accident for a nuclear energy program is slight. Critics respond with the claim that the official reports were unrealistic because they assumed foolproof technology and perfect reactor behavior. “Will the next half century of nuclear fission development be without one or more serious accidents, natural catastrophes, sabotage, or thefts which contaminates a large area, destroys or injures tens of thousands of humans, results in billions of dollars in property damage and creates generic risks for all future generations” This question, posed by Ralph Nader in A Citizen’s Manual on Nuclear Energy is at the core of the present controversy over nuclear reactor safety. Nuclear energy results from the fission of enriched radioactive uranium creating the heat to run steam driven turbines which generate electricity. It is seen by many to be the energy source of the future. According to the Congressional Quarterly, more than two-thirds of Federal money for energy research and development has gone for nuclear research, and the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) has predicted that the Alternatives number of nuclear reactors in this Nuclear energy, however, is not country will grow from 50 to 100 the only alternative to by the end of the century. conventional fuels. Other possibilities include; Process attacked Solar energy, which uses the Critics of nuclear energy have sun as an energy generator. attacked the complex process in Supporters maintain it is clean, all of its stages, citing safety safe, available, and, most hazards involved with the mining, importantly, the fuel is free. and processing of uranium. But Critics argue it is too costly, the chief point of criticism has impractical, and not available in been inadequate reactor safety. all areas. Wind Energy Conversion, or Opponents have stressed the danger of Coolant leaks which using wind as energy generator. could result in widespread Supporters claim that large wind — - , — — generators could be ready for commercial use by 1980. They are only practical in areas that have an average wind speed of at least 15-20 m.p.h. Solar Sea Power, drawing energy from the temperature differences in the ocean. Solar sea power plants, submerged almost two hundred feet in non-turbulent water, will produce electricity which can be transported ashore via underwater cable. A possible drawback of solar sea power is that it might change ocean temperature and cause many undesired environmental side-effects. Until such questions are completely resolved, critics maintain, solar sea power will be a questionable alternative. Energy from organic material; using sewage, solid waste, animal waste, or other organic materials to yield energy. Critics argue that this is a costly and inefficient source of energy, but others point to successful coal/organic waste combustion plants now operative in St. Louis, Nashville, Chicago, and Pontiac, Michigan. Geothermal energy, harnessing the energy trapped in the earth’s crust. The use of geothermal energy, however, may be ecologically hazardous, and result in noise pollution from periodic venting of steam and air pollution from the release of hydrogen sulfide gas and radon, a gas resulting from the radioactive decay of uranium. Coal; Critics of nuclear energy bfelieve improved coal mining and refining techniques can provide clean and immediate alternatives to the develonment of nuclear — — — — power. The authors of A Citizen’s Manual on Energy say that “if the proper environmental safeguards are employed, coal plants could replace nuclear plants with few long term hazards to the public. Proponents of nuclear energy disagree, pointing to the ecological hazards of coal mining and its limited supply. Dangers A chief issue in the nuclear fuel controversy has been the AEC’s alleged effort to conceal safety hazards of nuclear reactors. The New York Times reported in November that AEC documents indicated the commission had supressed studies by its own scientists which found nuclear reactors to be “more dangerous than officially acknowledged or that raised questions about reactor safety devices.” “One key study” the Times said, “which the commission kept from the public for seven years, found that a major accident could have the effect of a ‘good sized weapon,’ killing up to 45,000 persons, and that ‘the possible size of such a disaster might be equal to that of the state of Pennsylvania.” Former commission head Dr. Glenn Seaborg has denied the charges, claiming, “We didn’t publish it because we didn’t want it to be misunderstood by the public. Even when the laboratories operated by the commission developed important reports raising quesitons aobut safety, the commission staff in Washington sometimes ignored it.” �Special English Dept instmctor evaluations A special set oi student teacher evaluations, distributed and complied by the English Department, is now available to all students. The evaluations, assembled last semester, allow students to view the ratings of English professors by former pupils. This newly-established program compliments the Department’s course evaluations, which Members of the Department who had been preparing the questionnaires Attica witness admits old lies Members of the Department who had beenpreparing the questionnaires since last April have formed a Teaching Evaluation Committee, headed by English professor Victor Doyno. The evaluations contain 31 to 37 questions; most are multiple choice. There is also an area for additional questions and comments by students. Students wishing to view a teacher’s folder may go to the Office of Undergraduate Studies, Room 10 Annex B. Folders must be requested individually and evaluations must remain in the Undergraduate Office. The committee plans to prepare future evaluations on IBM computer forms, which will be processed through the Sorting and Scoring Center and provide more complete information. Dr. Doyno hopes that students will make use of the teacher and the only extensive program of its kind among course evaluations the Departments to aid in their choice of class sections. - — knew I was lying,” he said, but only “before an open court could I talk to the people and let them know what was happening to me.” s being A prosecution witness testified at last Copies of Mr. Crowley’s testimony Wednesday’s Attica hearings that he had lied to a sent by presiding Supreme Court Justice Joseph grand jury and implicated several inmates on murder Mattina to the U.S. Attorney for the Western charges because he felt his life was threatened.

Irving Spitzberg, Dean of the Colleges, said that a small amount of OTPS (Other Than Personal Services) money will soon be made available but to most of the colleges this $100-5300 will be hardly adequate, if even helpful. Clifford Furnas College Master Gerald Thorner added, “We are hurt more because we are young and growing.” He explained that the current University-wide “freeze” on all hiring and initiating of new programs has sturtted the expansion of the collegiate are most of our classes are held at the Main Street Campus, and most are at because it has been regarded for years as “the chief mechanism for continuing education at this university.” the Colleges’ instructors are community people who cither don’t have the tunc to travel to the North Campus or are hesitant to do so because most of the parking areas around the Ellicott Complex are not yet equipped with lighting during the evening hours. The classes are at night because of the consideration. Dr. Spitzberg went on to explain that most departments have some seminar rooms and classrooms always available to them and under their control, in ratio to the number of majors and degree programs they offer. In this area, he believes the Colleges are at a disadvantage. Obtaining classroom equipment has also been difficult, partly, he said, because negotiations for it with Albany are so long and complicated. And of course, there s inflation. “The increase in our telephone bill has literally eaten up any increase in funding we’ve received this year,” he lamented. Fhe Dean stressed that he does not believe the Colleges’ difficulties are the result of any “devious conspiracy” on the part of the rest of the university against them. “There are some problems with allocations,” he said, but with a little bit of good will, I’m sure they can be resolved.” Elizabeth Perry of Vico College, not quite as optimist, expressed serious fears for ttye college’s residential and summer program, however. She is moved by the irony of the fact that although their residential program will be reviewed in 18 months for its effectiveness, at present there are no funds to run it. The staff, she feels, is underpaid, consisting of one chairperson and two student assistants. And at the moment, the state of economic limbo makes it impossible to plan for any summer operations, since it is uncertain whether any funds will be available for office expenses. College B, the only unit chartered unconditionally, seems to be in the best shape. College Master Carlo Pinto’s chief concern is obtaining use of facilities in the Ellicott Complex, especially the theatre. He feels the Colleges’ location in the Complex should justify their seeking their two — night.” He added, however, that most of those difficulties have been resolved, though, and only a handful of classes Equal consideration He contended, however, that the other remains without rooms. provide continuing education as Dr. Spitzberg explained that the Main Colleges thus should be given equal and well, most of Street Campus is preferred because College asserted that after chartering, the colleges’ existence should have been “justified to the University.” The budget for the spring semester was planned under the assumption that additional funding Would be forthcoming, she argued, adding that she takes the present situation as an indication that the Colleges “are not viewed as a vital, necessary part of the the University community” by units. Need necessities Marry Pittman, academic coordinator for College H, said that instructors can now barely be provided with “the basic necessities to conduct their classes effectively,” including movies, speakers, xeroxing, and in some cases, even paper. Most of College H’s instructors are volunteers, she explained, working without pay because “the idea of the College is something they believe in, and are willing to work and fight for.” One representative of Rachel Carson College, Patricia Holland said that “the mere pittance” the College offers as a salary is almost an insult to instructors’ abilities, and that the College has lost at least one instructor who accepted employment at a firm where he “will be able to make a decent living.” Ms. Holland expressed a common sentiment describing the entire chartering process as “a great farce.” She and several others interviewed by The Spectrum said that throughout the chartering they were led to believe that their financial situation would improve afterward. Ms. Pittman said that “some additional help has come, but nowhere near expectations.” • , Lowest priority Ann Williams of the Women's Studies Oil administration. Ms. Williams did feel the Colleges’ difficulties were caused deliberately by the administration, but commented that they are “of the lowest priority” in almost all considerations. Dr. Spitzberg described some of the Colleges’ difficulties in obtaining classroom space: “At the beginning of this semester, there were between 50 and 60 college classes with no rooms assigned to them. Mainly, the sources of our problems are not limited time instructors are available, and because many of the courses meet once a week for three hours, and would be difficult for students to fit into their daytime schedules. Dr. Spitzberg said. But finding classrooms for two or three hours at a time is almost impossible, partly because Millard Fillmore College is given preference over the others in room allocation. This is because it has been in existence the longest, he explained, and tariff Proposals to delay increase Proposals are currently under consideration in the House and Senate to delay President Ford’s imposition of a $3 per barrel increase on imported Arab oil by April 1. Congressional Democrats have repeatedly opposed Mr. Ford’s energy and tax-cut proposals, which would ultimately raise the price of a gallon of gasoline by 10 cents and add comparable amounts to the costs of other petroleum products. Mr. Ford defended his plans Thursday by declaring them “the first step down the long and difficult road toward regaining our energy freedom.” If Congress fails to halt the plan, there will be an additional fee of $1 per barrel of oil by February 1, and additional $1 fees on March 1 and April 1. The House Ways and Means Committee is expected to approve a bill that would prohibit a change in the oil import fee for 90 days. The Committee will also attach the 90 day freeze to a bill increasing the statutory debt limit which is virtually veto-proof, since the government cannot borrow money without it after February 18. In assessing the Ford plan, the Federal Energy Administration (FEA) has determined that the energy and tax-cut proposals will cut into most family incomes because the reduction would be exceeded by the expected rise in direct and indirect energy costs. The only income bracket that could anticipate a small increase in spendable income are those in the lower-middle group, which averages about $8,000 a year Households averaging $2,500 a year will receive a tax-cut of $97, only $15 more than the increase in would direct energy costs alone, but indirect costs run well above $15. “Upper-middle” income group, — The FEA also estimated that indirect costs, such as higher prices for plastics, could run up to $174 a — estimate” $275. Calling the Ford program “the weirdest one I’ve ever seen,” AFL-CIO President George Meany joined other leaders in demanding a ban on imported oil from those Arab nations that took part in the 1973-1974 embargo. The AFL-CIO, meeting in an emergency session, outlined a six-point program that also includes a $20 million tax cut, public works improved benefits for the and programs unemployed.

ADVERTISEMENT Aspart ofa nation of producers as wellas consumers; each ofus hasa lot to say about theprke of things wewantandneed Beginning in the February, 1975 Reader’s Digest: a new series —that amounts to a mini-course in today's economics. “Thanks a lot!” you may say. “But I’d just as soon study Siberian rug weaving as wade through economics.” Why economics? Because no subject affects our daily lives more—and is understood less. One thing for sure, this is not going to be one of those put-you-to'sleep economics courses. No boring theories or confusing charts: no jargon-filled textbooks. We’-ll be telling the story of our economic system in clear, human terms, illustrating it with actual case histories and experiences gathered firsthand by the Digest.

They're sponsored by the Business Roundtable an organization of 150 outstanding executives of leading U.S companies We call this series “Our Economic System: You Make It Work." — You’ll call it fascinating. 5 if IjjyQ] WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE NICKEL CANDY BAR? £. £ Remember 1955? Kids wild about Davy Crockett hats. Some were people were worried that we might go to couple of Asian islands called Quemoy and Matsu. The latest musical fad was something called “rock 'n' roll." A Chevrolet sedan cost S2000. A nickel candy bar felt pretty hefty in your hand. Funnv. hut whenever you start placing the nostalgia game, you alwar over a ways get around to fond recollections of how far a dime or quarter or dollar “went” in the good old days. Funny, too, but none of us ever seems to really ask why the dollar doesn’t go as far today. Whatever happened to that nickel candy bar? Why, indeed, do prices go up ? Too often we answer with a resigned sigh: “Everything’s going up these days." But that isn’t always so. The prices of some things have gone down: TV sets, for instance, and bail-point pens (remember when we paid $i .50 for a “cheap” one?), toasters and quite-a few other small appliances. How do these manage to run against the inflationary trend? To answer, let’s first consider two basic ways to lower the price of a product (barring the use of low-cost foreign labor to manufacture it outside this country). One way is to cheapen the product, lower its qua! itv. But this is a fatal device in a free market —consumers catch on quickIv. The other way is to maintain the quality but cut the cost of manufacture. If the product is soup cans, for instance, it means producing more and better soup cans for the time ADVERTISEMENT and labor spent. That’s what’s called improved productivity. Now wait a minute. Don’t head for the exits. We’re not talking about men turning screws faster or running around with ladders and oilcans like characters in an old-time movie. We’re simply considering how all of us here in America affect the prices of things we buy through the way we work. Just ponder, for example, what happens when a mix of technology, planning and worker motivation spells high productivity. Major manufacturers of hand-held power tools in Germany, Japan and England have not been able to penetrate the American market because high-quality American-made hand tools are competitively low in price. One of the major forces behind this Decker situation is the Black Manufacturing Co., of Towson, Md. For the past 16 years,, sales of its products have grown an astonishing 17 percent a year, and during that time the prices of many of these products have dropped steadily. The company secret? Better productivity. In part, this comes from the wise investment of funds in new machines and advanced research. Decker’s But beyond that. Black management and workers constantly set goals for themselves and meet them —not necessarily by doing things faster, but by doing them better. A typical problem: Company engineers knew they could vastly improve safely from electrical shock by doubling the thickness of & & insulation inside hand tools. But this would have added ten percent to manufacturing costs. Solution: Redesign of the tools, streamlining assembly and standardizing many small parts so the same ones could be used in different tools. Prices of the safer tools remained the same. While such improved productivity has paid off in increased sales and profits, it has also paid off for employes. The company payroll in 1958 was $14.5 million for 3800 employes. Last year’s payroll was $165.2 million for 20.700 employes. And look at the payoff for the consumer: In 1958, Black Decker’s basic electric drill for do-it-yourselfers cost $18.95. Now it costs $10.99. A standard jigsaw that sold for $44.50 in 1958 now costs $11.99. And remember, these price changes occurred during a 16-ycar period which saw the U. S. Consumer Price Index rise 75.2 percent. But the productivity payoff can also mean a lot more than new jobs and higher pay. Sometimes it spells survival. Consider the 1000 employes of the Ideal Corporation, a maker of precision automotive parts, in Brooklyn, N. Y. Saddled with an old plant and rising costs, Ideal recently looked into building a modern plant in the Midwest. The move would vastly reduce the cost of transporting its products, and the cost of the factory was expected to be about $15 a square foot. Putting up a new plant in Brooklyn, on the other hand, would run at least $25 a square foot, Page four . The Spectrum . Monday, 27 January 1975 & ADVERTISEMENT and related operating costs looked certain to leave the company in an extremely difficult competitive position. Hut Ideal had a loyal and skilled work force. It elected to remain in Brooklyn. Says John Wenzel, president of the company: "We decided to gamble on our ability to engineer processes that wouldreduce our costs." In other words, the productivity of Ideal's managers, engineers and workers kept their 1000 jobs in Brooklyn. And the company is thriving in its new plant. Despite these by-no-mcans-isolated examples, there is disturbing evidence that America is slipping into a productivity crisis. While our productivity has historically grown at a healthy rate of About 3 percent annually, in recent years the growth rate has been falling; last year we had no productivity gain at all. Too many American businesses have been failing because they could not achieve the higher productivity that would enable them to afford the higher wages and shorter hours demanded of them. Others have hiked prices to pay the higher wages, with a resultant loss of business to foreign competition. Nine out of every ten baseball mitts sold in this land of Babe Ruth and Henry Aaron are foreign-made. So arc 19 out of every 20 motorcycles, one out of six cars. Since 1967, foreign industry has caused a reduction of at least 400,000 American jobs. That’s why producThis message is prepared tivity—all of us putting more in and getting more out of our jobs—is of such crucial importance. Fortunately, we don’t have to run around tearing our hair out to solve the problem. Nor do we even have to learn productivity from books or lectures. Indeed, that would be a sad estimation of the people of a nation whose history has been in a sense a history of productivity. For productivity is many things. It is the ability of a businessman to attract dollars to build new plants and create new jobs. It derives from intensive research that gives us advanced technology. And productivity is also an impulse. It’s the impulse that helps a housewife organize her day to cook turkey, bake a pic, set the table, get dressed and greet friends and relatives at the door at one o’clock. It’s the impulse that makes diagonal paths across vacant lots. Think about it. How well did you type that last report, repair that washing machine, tune up that engine, finish that blueprint? You have, we have, in our hands, in ourselves, the means to produce not just cars and books and songs and bread, but an entire way of life and economic environment second to none.

Computers link state libraries State University of a statewide library New York has network through which its members can make a computerized “search” of more than one million book titles in less than ten seconds. Under the terms of a contract with the Ohio College Library Center, State University is electronically linking with 59 public an; private libraries throughout the state, 32 of which are located on its own campuses. New York’s network is the largest statewide The developed development in a rapidly expanding national system. Twelve additional in-state libraries are expected to become members by the end of 1974. University’s participation in library computerization brings a new dimension to research and scholarly pursuits, affording students and faculty almost immediate access to holdings in a 22-state system than now comprises 287 libraries. The combined holdings of member libraries total more than 1.1 million volumes and are growing at the rate of 1,436 titles each day. State system, which has its computer headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, also has an overnight catalog card service which will substantially speed the processing of new books to library shelves. The Benefits “The information explosion has placed an enormous load on libraries across the state,” Chancellor Boyer explained when he announced State University participation. “Many libraries have a backlog of books to be processed and library administrative costs have increased faster than any other support area.” Dr. Boyer identified four major benefits to libraries in the statewide network; Reduced unit cost of library operations, particularly in the area of cataloguing, and increased internal efficiency; Uniform bibliographic data entries so that all participating libraries can utilize the system with minimum difficulty; Faster location of books by students and faculty at colleges across the state; More effective interlibrary loan arrangements, particularly with respect to State University’s “open access” library program; bibliographic searching and citation verification and reporting of holdings to the National Union Catalog. — — — — funded by Student Act. fees-Vote YES to retain these fees on Feb. 5, 6, & 7. is terminal which connects into the system through telephone lines.

Other members of the system know immediately that the volume is now available at still another location. If the book is not on the shelves of any other library, the operator, using the terminal keyboard, creates a new record for the system, which projects on the screen as it is being “typed.” The new entry is then transmitted into the computer. The procedure takes about three to five minutes for an experienced operator and is available to other libraries within five seconds of its transmission. In both instances, the operator also requests the computer center in Ohio to produce catalog cards which are sorted, alphabetized and ready to file. These are mailed to the library the following day. budgetary Inter-library book loans are usually arranged by telephone or mail.

I have paid a grand total of $204 in three years in order that I could have the opportunity to see Bernadette Devlin (for an additional admission fee), see one documentary (again, after another fee and only after seeing a hideous preview of an adolescent horror movie) and hear Leonard Nimoy speak from one television monitor (that was “free" but I couldn't see the monitor). It is nice to note that the student fee amounts to roughly $2.25 each week. For that much money I could see the first rate feature of my choice every week and be independent of UUAB’s taste in movies. If I went to the matinee, I would end up ahead by at least $1.00. A look at that pie shows at least 30 percent of the fees never leave Norton Union. A look at the past issues of The Spectrum shows that the Student Assembly doesn’t do much else except cut up that pie. The mandatory fee has taken money away from activities and has taken power from the students. How can student government handle grievances when it is too busy grabbing money? Perhaps a better way would be to set up independent councils able to collect dues from voluntary members. This way athletes could allocate athletic funds, others could choose which persons they wanted to hear on campus or which movies they wanted to see. Maybe then we could have a student government that would be responsive to student needs. Reform won’t start though as long as easy money just rolls right in. There is no way we can really change the way this campus is run as long as the mandatory student fee exists.

Monday, 27 January 1975 a dim glimpse of light in the distance to keep me going and my hope alive. That light is our Buffalo Chabad House. Although I was feeling down and out and I had prior knowledge of the disaster that had befallen our Chabad House, I had a compulsion to witness what had happened there. It was as if I didn’t or could not believe what I heard unless I had seen it with my own eyes. I went to see the remnants of the new Chabad House. It was paralyzing. I walked around the severely charred shell of a building, for that’s all that remained. A building that just weeks ago had been the center of happiness and Judaism in Buffalo. I recalled a few Sabbaths I had spent there praying, learning, eating, singing, and most of all feeling at home with the environment. Now before my own eyes it lies devastated by fire as if eaten by some terrible monster, in its prime. For it was so young and new it sureiv could not know how much it meant to us here. In just one year I, as well as many other students, have become attached to Chabad and its functions, religious courses, the Sabbath prayers and meals, and the helpful Rabbis. This disaster is like a friend being critically maimed and I having to look him in the eyes. I tell you I can’t bear to look. I turn away and cry like a baby for I know not what to say or do. I feel so helpless, like a leaf thrown into a rough sea. I, along with other students here, have suffered a great loss. It’s not like a home in New York where if God forbid something burns it is slowly rebuilt with just the immediate family suffering. Here all of us in the Buffalo Chabad family are suffering, and more dangerous, all Jewish students in Buffalo are imperiled. 1 am left with no alternative save to sit and pray with all my heart and soul that please God we will have the strength to survive this disaster and with His help we will be able to rebuild this integral Chabad House and it will be able to resume its life-saving work for Jewish students here in Buffalo and the world over. Yakov h'izik �Kunsler a priority To the Editor It has been brought to our attention that contrary to the resolution passed by the Student Assembly, the Speakers Bureau has not made it a priority to procure William Kunstler as a speaker during this semester. As a result, the University community is losing the opportunity to hear a first hand account of a contemporary issue of nationwide importance taking place in Buffalo, namely the Attica trials. In light of the fact that “Lois Lane." who is to speak next week, is receiving $1,100. and Ronald Reagan is being offered $3,000 to speak, offering Mr. Kunstler $500, which is inexplicably unequal, makes a mockery of the Assembly's decision to make Mr. Kunstler’s appearance a priority. Since this unfortunate situation can still be rectified, we strongly urge any student who cares to hear Mr. Kunstler speak to call or write the Student Association at 205 Norton Hall, telephone number 831-5507, today!

The article is confused, stilted and degrading. Ms. Dube states that the two speakers “had been briefed beforehand” about the WSC’s problems. Does this indicate a plot? The two women merely said they had heard about it and were concerned. The article states that Ms. Steinem first said that WS courses "could be best taught outside the University.’' and “then reneged.” She did not say that. She said that when she went to college, women had to held self-help discussions off-campus — and she didn't think that was good. lark Hall" is not “Clark Hall.” A bunch of chairs does not disguise the musty odor of sweat, or the symbols of machismo, such as the gigantic picture of the blue bull which towered over the speakers’ heads, and the men practicing Karate in the hall.

To the Editor. We would like to address this letter to the Speakers Bureau. We are extremely disappointed with the way our money has been spent. Since the Speakers Bureau is funded by the mandatory student fee, we feel we have the right to question the selection of guest speakers. It is disturbing to us that in times of such economic crisis, you feel it appropriate to hire speakers such as Lois Lane at such high fees, when there are an abundance of other speakers who could address themselves to more important and crucial issues. We feel that the speakers bureau should hire people with more redeeming social and political values, as opposed to pure excitement appealing to the nostalgic fancies of people.

Although the committee’s recommendation refers to 40 percent of the various “constituencies” on campus, Mr. Doty said it was “a basic fallacy to assume that the administration is a constituency.” The FSA exists to serve students, not to be controlled by them, he asserted. Manipulative methods In a previous interview with The Spectrum last semester, Mr. Doty said that asking students to control the FSA is like having the customers of the Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company take over the company. “This is not the way things are done in the United States,” he said. Mr. Doty explained that some FSA’s seem to be under student control, but these corporations Hre really manipulated by the campus administrations. He said he did not want to use such methods. There is no need for any group to receive increased on the FSA because both faculty and students are adequately represented and “the Board hears what they have to say.” Even though the University-wide committee on Auxiliary Services was composed of a majority of administrators, Mr. Doty feels the committee incorrectly recommended a 40 percent limit on administration control because there was only one business-oriented member of the committee (Vice President for Business and Finance Richard Margison from the State University College at Cortland) who was aware of the ramifications. representation Blatant disregard SASU vice-president Bob Kirkpatrick was optimistic that the proposal would not be approved in its present form. “We don’t feel hopeless; we can do it,” he said.

Mr. Spindler said in his letter that the proposals represented the consensus of the committee. Mr. Kirkpatrick lamented that this was the first time State University had involved itself in the internal affairs of FSA’s and said he was surprised that some campus presidents expressed support for a proposal to exclude Presidents from the Boards. He said, however, that two presidents had vehemently opposed the plan, although it could not be learned who they were.

Although it is rare that congressional the legislation , has any effect on administration of collegiate athletics, some directors feel that Title IX of the Education Act of 1972 may have a profound effect on their programs. The law is designed to do away with several types of sex-based discrimination within educational institutions receiving federal funds. One of its major provisions deals with athletics and attempts to provide equal opportunity for women’s programs in terms of funding, use of facilities and scholarship aid. Specifically, the bill calls for the recipients of federal assistance to “make affirmative efforts to provide athletic opportunities in such sports and through such teams as will most effectively equalize opportunities for members of both sexes” and that “athletic programs must be operated without discrimination on the basis of sex.” This can be accomplished either by establishing separate teams for each sex, or by setting up coed squads. Separate and equitable Although certain vague sections of the law seem to indicate that actual equal funding, dollar-for-dollar, is required, a Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) fact sheet on the bill specifically denies this: “If separate teams are offered, a recipient institution may not discriminate on the basis of sex in provision of necessary equipment or supplies, or in any other way, but equal aggregate expenditures are not required. The goal of the regulation in the area of competitive athletics is to secure equal opportunity for males and females while where Pres. Ford was an All-American football player 35 years ago, claims that some people believe the law calls for dollar-for-dollar funding, and indicates the problem has not yet been resolved. Some men’s programs, particularly in basketball and football, often justify their million dollar budgets by generating a lot of income. To give the same kind of money to women’s programs would be impossible, Canham asserts. “Most of us are doing everything that is possible further to as most women are doing, that it took 70 years to bring the men’s program to the level that it has now attained.” women’s athletics and keeping in mind, 50-50? There is reason to believe that Canham’s fears are unfounded. “I don’t think there are any women’s programs that want a 50-50 split,” said Carolyn Thomas, Buffalo’s women's' basketball coach. Thomas claims that the women’s programs in general have a different philosophy and will not need as much money as the men’s programs. “I have no desire to play ?0 games a year,” she cited as an example. Thomas relates that the money issue has not been a particularly sensitive one within the Athletic Department here because the budgets have been considered separately by the Student Association. “They ask for their money and we ask for ours. It s not like we had to split it up ourselves.” The women’s budget for 1474-75 was almost double that of the previous academic year. Coed training Title IX also calls for training and medical equal access to which facilities, of a problem for Buffalo’s program.

Ernie DiGregorio’s first appearance in over two long months prompted a standing ovation that lasted enough for Jesse Dark to pump in a quick basket picking up right over the hobbled Buffalo guard where he left off before the injury. The game was boring from an upper level perspective and few of the highly touted Buffalo fans seemed overly interested in the game s outcome. They downed beers, argued politics at half time, criticized the sloppy court play and kept one eye on the scoreboard for the outcome of the Celtic game. And yet the Aud was filled with the usual the unintelligible home team cheers coming from spectators who squandered up to seven dollars for a good seat. They booed when the referees made good calls against their team and yelled obscenities when the game’s progress displeased them. Failing to grasp s the finer points of Earl Monroe’s moves or McAdoo of the hazy grasp their converted board play, they game into inarticulate chants of approval. numerous — like the dinner that is less than ideal hour. This year a compromise was worked out whereby the men’s varsity has first priority and has the right to practice in mid-afternoon. However, on days when they do not practice or are out of town (about half the time), the women’s team gets prime time, and the men s Junior Varsity gets last pick. In Dr. Thomas’s opinion, the University is approaching compliance with both the letter and spirit of Title IX. And though some men may not like it, it appears that women’s athletics is here to stay.

Obviously someone must get stuck with practice time Fat-legged cheerleaders took the floor at time doing outs and tumbled their way from split to split, wonders for the imagination of the crowd but delaying the game needlessly. Their simple routines and the half time “extravaganza” that brings two fans to half court for a shot at expensive prizes were designed to entertain the capacity crowd from the subuibs who enjoyed being Buffalonians for a night. Three winning teams have suddenly made it respectable to say you are from a city named after a smelly beast, and thousands of locals are now shedding the obscurity of Cheektowaga and Williamsville and calling themselves part of a city they abandoned years ago. But New York was the real disappointment. The crowded conditions and naive fans at the Aud were the long appearances of Dennis to be expected Bell, Jesse Dark and Harthorne Wingo were not. They are young players and it would be unfair to compare their sloppy play to the smoothness of those who wore the Knick uniforms two years ago, but if these are the players who the Knicks hope to rebuild their powerhouse with they are in for a - disappointment The close score and frequent lead changes were not enough to hold attention. Poor passing on both sides and New York’s disorganized defense led to numerous easy baskets, and except for the embarassing ease with which Randy Smith handled Walt Frazier, the action was dull. Bill Bradley was on the court but not in the game. The sub-par performances that have lately become his standard make that Congressional seat he has his eye on look attractive to New York fans. The Knick offense came solely from the Back court. Walt Frazier, always smooth, was smooth to excess. He didn’t contribute in the clutch and was burned on defense by Smith. Nevertheless, he looked good. The Pearl was a disappointment. His perfromance is usually the highlight of a Knick game and his razzle-dazzling magic is enough to keep any capacity crowd on the edge of their seats. The magic wasn’t there and neither was his speed. n’Nell — —continued six percent, almost everyone has a high school education, and many have gone to college. Since exposure to education has unemployment increased, and remains, having a job and “being a success” seems to have little to do with one’s education or intelligence, Dr. Lewontin pointed out. “Nelson Rockefeller does not have a high IQ, nor did he do that well in school,” but he is a “success” by this society’s standards, he continued. Other reasoning IQ-mongers Nevertheless, maintain that IQ tests measure intelligence, which is related to success. The next step is to assert that “IQ is highly heritable which makes you feel that you got your intelligence from your - parents,” said Dr. Lewontin.

It is then pointed out that blacks and working-class people score lower on IQ tests, although educational of those deprived of educational and cultural experiences. The logical conclusion in this argument is that blacks and, to a working-class extent, “owe their position in society to their genes and nothing can be done about it.” “But genes are not fixed entities. They contain elements capable of wide potentialities,” Dr. Lewontin explained.

With by Larry Leva Spectrum Staff Writer Anne gone, guard Chris Barone took charge. The Bulls’ captain tallied a game-high 16 points, hitting mostly on long range baskets in key situations. Fredonia, which trailed by seven at the half, never threatened in the second half. Buffalo employed an effective 2-3 zone, forcing the hosts to shoot from the outside. The bench played a major role in the Bulls’ victory, especially after Trapper’s departure. Marilyn Dellwardt and Patty Dolan helped Buffalo control the boards in the star’s absence, pulling down 11 and 10 rebounds, respectively. Marilyn added nine points. Last Wednesday, the women’s basketball team opened its season with some good news and some bad news. The good news was an easy 42-29 win over Fredonia State. Head coach Carolyn Thomas, hoping to point her team toward an invitation to, the State Championships, received the bad news just three minutes into the season. Thomas watched her star center, junior Ann Trapper, limp off the court with a severely sprained left ankle. Buffalo entered the game confident, a big favorite against the lightly-regarded Fredonians. The basis for their almost overconfident and carefree attitude before the game was a 20-point trouncing of the Fredonia team last year en route to an 8-3 record. The only question was whether the team was prepared for game situations. Although the women have been practicing since mid-November, this was their first intercollegiate action. Psychological edge Although the team proved it’s not a one-woman show, everyone connected with the team knows that Trapper is the key to Buffalo receiving state-wide recognition. “She’s as much a psychological advantage as she is our rebounding and scoring leader,” said Thomas. The psychological advantage is a direct reference to Trapper’s 6’1” height, which allows her to intimidate almost everyone she faces. Trapper isn’t the Bulls’ only injured player. Sharp-shooting Denise O’Malley was forced to miss Good shooting Two quick jumpers by Charlene O’Neill gave the Bulls a 4-0 lead, one which they never relinquished. Trapper then countered a Frcdonia score with a layup, her only Statistics box Wednesday’s game due to floating bone chips in her leg. Thomas was satisfied with the team s performance, considering the losses of her two top players. The Bulls face their.top divisional competition (Brockport) tonight. However, Thomas claims that she would feel confident against any team in the state except powerful Queens College, annually among the nation’s elite in women s basketball. “Motivation is the key,” cites Thomas. “If the team wants it badly enough, everything should fall into place.” * * * Buffalo’s women swimmers couldn’t overcome a strong Fredonia squad, suffering a 78-39 loss in the Blue Devils’ pool. Bulls’ coach Barbara Sevier was proud of her team despite the loss, since three of the girls set lifetime bests while winning their event.

These possible cutbacks have raised fears of impending tuition and room rent increases to offset lessened state funding. In Students not barred from tenure voting by Amy Dunkin Managing Editor Students are not legally prohibited by a clause in the United University Professionals (UUP) contract from serving as voting members on faculty review committees, the State Public Employees Relations Board ruled early this month. As a result, faculty who oppose the placement of students on these committees may no longer claim that student involvement in tenure, promotions and hiring decisions legally violates the principle of “peer review.” It is generally agreed, however, that faculty who oppose having the students .on voting Presidential Review University’s Board on Tenure will continue to do so, whether the contract expressly prohibits it or not. Student leaders hope, however, that faculty who have wavered because of ambiguities in the UUP contract will now come out in support of voting membership. Announcing that governance cannot be a term or condition of employment, Ceasar Naples, SUNY Director of Employee Relations, stated that “the clause was not intended to restrict or otherwise define the membership” of faculty evaluation committees. Short list The matter was clarified at the request of students from the State University at Albany. Since then, Albany has joined Oswego and Purchase on the list of SUNY schools with voting students on committees which review faculty for tenure, promotion, or Association of the State University (SASU). University professor Constantine Yeracaris, who heads the local chapter of the UUP, was unaware t)f the contract ruling and therefore could not comment on the possible ramifications. Just what effect the ruling-will have on the status of students serving on the Presidential Review Board on Tenure at this University is not known. Last year. President RobertKetter following the recommendation of the Faculty-Senate agreed to pi ilace two non-voting students on the Review Board. students, The two undergraduate Dave Saleh and graduate Elaine Mugel, act strictly as advisors, broadening the base of input available to the Board. They also try to make sure the committee adheres to the proper evaluation procedures and that teaching performance is heavily weighed in the final decision. his State of the State Message earlier this month, Gov. Caifey warried that he would cut the State Purposes Budget by 10 percent. Since SUNY funding constitutes a large part of the State Purposes Budget, University officials now fear a room rent hike. One tuition or a course in the administration SUNY central predicted a possible $50 to $100 increase in room rent by next year. Rubenstein, director of public information of the Student Association of SUNY SASU said, “While we haven’t been able to pin anything down, rumors are that the budget, which will be released by the Governor’s office Tod sometime early in February, will be lean, and that it will be a bad year for everybody. However, our concern is that we don’t feel it should be passed on by raising the cost of education.” — - Past uncertainty In the past, concern over the working of the UUP contract had caused faculty members who support the theory of students voting on tenure and felated cases, to hesitate in opening up the Review Board. Germanic and Slavic Professor Michael Metzger indicated during the Faculty-Senate debate last year that there were “problematic aspects” with regard to the UUP contract. The contract specifically states that academic advancement decisions are to be made by peer review, Dr. Metzger explained. reappointment. “The question is whether this Thus far, there have been no means it should be exclusively complaints about the bahavior or peer review.” seriousness of these students, A student serving on the according to Andy Hugos, Media Tenure Board mighe even hamper Director of the Student —continued on page 14— Cutbacks While he doesn’t expect an immediate increase in tuition, Mr. Rubenstein said there will probably be cutbacks in new programs, and in the growth of SUNY systems, as well as an increase in the faculty-student ratio. Although room rents might also go up next year, another SASU spokesman explained, they are not the “philosophic issue that tuition is and probably could be increased without too much difficulty.” Speaking before a Wednesday, meeting of the SUNY Board of Trustees, Dan Kohane, SASU President, called on the board to “resolve and state unequivocally that it will hold the line on State University tuition and room every $100 increase in tuition, there is a corresponding 2.5 percent decrease in enrollment. Mr. Kohane also pointed out that the state now pays $57 million in aid to non-public schools and said, “In a time of fiscal crisis, the state ought not to subsidize colleges which carry on expensive, highly competitive athletic programs and other gala activities.” Private schools which cannot survive alone should pool their resources with other private and state schools to save through economy of scale, Mr. Kohane said. “It is not the state’s responsibility to save every (private) institution,” he told the Trustees. He also requested that the administration not circumvent the Governor’s pledge to hold the line on tuition by raising dormitory rents. Tuition Assistance Grants and Regents Scholarships cannot be used to pay room rent, he noted, and many students may not be able to afford the additional expenses of living away from home. Favorable climate “Let’s not make the painful mistake of 1972, when the university raised tuition to create a favorable fiscal climate when an austere one could have been endured,” Mr. Kohane stressed. Despite the widespread apprehension over possible huge budget cuts and cost increases, most administrators deny the possibility of an impending tuition rise. Russ Gugino, a SUNY official, said there has been no discussion of a tuition increase. “None has been considered. It is not planned and central rnticipated,” Mr. Gugino asserted. He said the administration is still waiting to see if there will be any drastic cuts in this year’s budget. “If there are substantial cuts,” said Mr. Gugino, .“the trustees will make a close, hard examination of the budget to try and find ways of cutting costs. But no one wants to see a tuition increase.” He admitted, however, that if circumstances a tuition hike might be considered. A spokesman for Gov. Carey said that the final decision is still being made. There has not been any word of a major cutback in the SUNY system, and the Governor still favors the state’s supporting any increased costs in higher education, he indicated. not Opposition Two area legislators. Sen. James McFarland (R., Kenmore) and Assemblyman Arthur Eve (D., Buffalo) both said that they had not heard of any plans to drastically cut the SUNY budget or to increase tuition. Mr. Eve said he would not comment on a possible increase until he saw the new budget, while Sen. McFarland said he would oppose any attempt by Gov. Carey to raise costs for students. “It is a time for austerity,” he said. “We have to be prudent and judicious but 1 don’t see what would be gained by increasing costs for students. We just last year passed the Tuition Assistance Program to help people meet costs. It would be counter-productive to take any action to increase tuition.” tuition rent.” Mr. Kohane echoed a campaign statement by the Governor when told a SASU Mr. Carey conference, “The state, not the students, must bear the burden of financing higher education in these days of inflation and higher costs.” Mr. Kohane disagreed with the Board of Regent’s contention that tuition at the state’s public colleges and universities should reflect rising price levels and reflect more closely those of private schools. Well-being “The issue here is not the expediency of higher tuition or rent or of competitive private schools,” Mr. Kohane declared. “The issue is educating our citizens for the long range prosperity and well-being of our room Hugh Carey �Travel agency loses second court case A second University student has been awarded money by Buffalo Small Claims Court in a decision against Travel Power Inc., based travel agency, a Brooklyn and its campus representative, for damages incurred as a result of the agency’s cancellation of two prearranged group flights to New York just before the Thanksgiving weekend. Mike Malkin was awarded $120 by a judge Wednesday afternoon. The award represents the difference between what it actually cost Mr. Malkin to drive home and back that weekend and the agency’s promised discount air fare of $60. Last week, another student, Bob Burrick, won a similar suit against Travel Power. Both Mr. Burrick and Mr. Malkin have filed a complaint with the Consumer Frauds division of the Buffalo Attorney General’s Office, which is investigating the possibility of prosecuting Travel Power. A decision is expected in the near future. The agency’s cancellation of two prearranged flights on the Thursday night before the long - The Fillmore Room in Norton Hall was the scene for the Student Association’s (SA) transfer orientation last Wednesday afternoon.

The controversy was characterized by changes in flight times and prices which angered many of the students involved. Thus far, Mr. Malkin and Mr. Burrick are the only students who have sued the agency, but Mr. Burrick pointed out that it is not too late for anyone who feels he has been wronged to file a suit. In both cases, Travel Power did not send a representative to court or answer the charges in any way. Mr. Burrick said that when he called on Travel Power campus representative Alan Rosenberg to collect his award, Mr. Rosenberg told Mr. Burrick to contact the agency’s New York office. When The Spectrum telephoned Mr. Rosenberg in his room for comment, he refused to discuss the matter. -Rich Korman ABBA EBAN’S lecture was sponsored by Mandatory Student Act. Fees.

The Assembly approved the nomination of Assembly member Oliver Fultz to serve as Public Information Director, succeeding Glenn Gabai, who left the post in mid-November. Executive Vice President Scott Salimando urged Assembly voters to find candidates for the position of Student Athletic Reviaw Board (SARB) Chairperson. The Assembly had rejected nominee Alan Rosenberg at the December 10 meeting. Student Activities Coordinator Sylvia Goldschmidt requested that six clubs whose temporary SA recognition had expired be considered for permanent recognition. The University of Buffalo Frisbee Club, on Ms, Goldschmidt’s recommendation, received recognition with funding. The Israel Information Center, Tai Chi Association, United Farm Workers Support Committee: SUNYAB Chapter, and Give-and-Take Club were granted recognition without funding, as Ms. Goldschmidt recommended. Club denied The Assembly voted to deny permanent recognition to the Network for Institutional Change after Ms. Goldschmidt reported that their activities were duplicated by other organizations, and that she had not heard from them since October. Mr. Salimando reported the University Calendar Committee had failed to reach a decision on changing the spring vacation to coincide with the Easter and Passover holidays. A series of tie votes in Committee dropped the decision directly into President Robert Ketter’s lap, from which t is expected to emerge Monday. Although Mr. Salimando acknowledged hat a change this year would disrupt certain activities, notably SA Travel and Schussmeister’s Ski Club, he agreed with Assembly members who called for a letter-writing campaigrT do persuade Dr. Ketter to change the vacation dates. Retain the fee Both Mr. Salimando and President Frank Jackalone stressed the importance of - —Huber retaining the mandatory student activity fee, which will come before the students in a referendum February 5, 6, and 7. Three thousand of the ten thousand SA budget surveys distributed last semester were returned, said Mr. Salimando, but the figures have yet to be compiled and interpreted. He asked anyone able to operate a key-punch machine to see Art LaLonde, who is in charge of reporting on the statistics. Mr. LaLonde said that experience in outlining a governmental structure too complicated and too closed. The new government will consist of three “task forces”: Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, and Student Activities and Services. The Academic Affairs Task Force will be composed of one voting and two non-voting members of each academic departmental club. Non-attendance will be penalized by a frozen club budget. The Student Affairs Task Force will be open to anyone PANIC Curbing fining powers The Student Judiciary (SJ) levy fines on students found guilty of certain conducted violations, Attorney General Louis Leflcowitz ruled last month. A motion to allow the SJ to levy fines with SUNY central administration had been filed by Ronald Dolman, a Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) adviser, and Ron Stein, associate director of the Office of Student Affairs. Early in 1973, Mr. Dolman felt there was a need to grant restricted fining power to the judiciary. “Student justices were expressing the need for a middle-of-the-road sanction,” Mr. Dolman said. In the past, a student found guilty by the Judiciary was either reprimanded or recommended for suspension. The finding proposal was seen as a third, more moderate option. In October 1974, Dr. Ketter informed the Office of Student Affairs that Mr. Leflcowitz would soon make a ruling on the matter. On Dec. 4th, the Attorney General ruled against the authorization of fining power at all State University campuses. may not Right to fine According to the Attorney General, Sections 355 and 366 of Numbers game The main legislative body will be the Student Senate, consisting of ten members elected from within each of the three task forces and the Executive Committee officers (President, Executive Vice President, Vice President for Sub-Board I, Inc., Treasurer, and the heads of each task force) for a total of 37 members. The Senate will deal with legislation proposed by the task forces, which will perform detailed research in their specialized areas. Budgetary matters will go to a separate body, the Financial Assembly. The Financial Assembly will be divided into the Financial Assembly proper, the Finance Committee, and the Financial Priorities Committee will be chosen from the Student Activities and Services Task Force (except the members associated with religious or political groups which are barred by state law from receiving funds from mandatory student fees). It will set general budgetary priorities. The Finance Committee, chosen by the Senate, will handle the details of the budget. These two groups, and ten students elected at large for the Financial Assembly (but not members of either of the other groups), will decide on a final budget. Although some attacked the plan as too complex, National Affairs Coordinator Michele Smith defended it by saying that other schools have similar systems, some of which have worked. The full text of the proposed Constitution will be presented to the Assembly at the next meeting, to be held at 3 p.m. on Wednesday. Constitutional changes Bruce Lang, Chairman of the Constitutional Reform Committee, gave a preliminary explanation of the proposed Constitution, and was criticized for Student Judiciary by Rosalie Zuckerman Spectrum Staff Writer The Student Activities and Services Task Force will consist of six representatives of minority and religious organizations, four from “service” organizations like Community Action Corps, four from athletic groups, four dormitory students, and six commuter students. All of these will be elected by their respective interest groups except the commuter students, who will be elected at large. operating the machines was not necessary. “Any dummy can learn to keypunch in ten minutes. It only too me twelve or thirteen,” he quipped. A move to amend the SA Constitution regarding the powers of the SUNYAB Religious Council failed when a quorum count revealed that less than fifty members out of over 150 were at the meeting, far short of the number required to pass a constitutional amendment. Mr. Salimando used the occasion to plug constitutional changes that would ease the amending process. the Education Law, which allows the SUNY Board of Trustees and local campus councils the right to establish penalties for student violations, do not specify the right to levy fines. Such authority could be obtained only through the State Legislature, he concluded. Mr. Lefkowitz’s decision met with a mixed reaction. Dr. Ketter felt the ruling was appropriate, since there is no legal basis for the authorization of fining power. However, Student Association (SA) President, Frank Jackalone, feels it is wrong to assume that the University does not have this right simply because the law does not specifically state it. The next step toward acquiring fining power would be to approach' the Student Association of the State University (SASU) and request that it pressure the state legislature into granting Universities the legal right to levy fines, according to (SA) Student Rights Coordinator Hillary Lowell. Ray Glass, legislative director of SASU, said SASU has not been approached by any of its delegates from Buffalo. “Until we are contacted by these delegates,” said Mr. Glass, “it will be impossible for SASU to take a position on this issue.” In the meantime, SJ is looking into alternative sanctions. One such alternative would require students to work with the university or with a community project as compensation for an offense. Another would be the establishment of a program to rehabilitate the offender. The ELLICOTT PARTY was sponsored by Mandatory Student Activity Fees. Vote YES to retain this fee on FEb.

Or.., �New blood program started A newly-developed technique of extracting relatively large quantities of platelets from small amounts of blood is now being employed by the Greater Buffalo Regional Red Cross Blood Program. The process, called platelet pheresis, removes platelets from donated blood so they can be used at a later date for treatment of leukemia, cancer, and bone marrow failure. A unit (pint) of blood is extracted from the donor and then channelled through a Hemonetics machine which removes the platelets via a centrifuge, which then separates the blood into its components. After removing the platelets, the machine returns the rest of the blood to the donor. A second unit is removed while the first is being returned. No more than one pint of blood is missing from the donor at a given time. The procedure, which takes two hours and requires the presence of a doctor, is repeated until six pints of blood have been processed. The program will operate on a regular basis in the Buffalo area and donors will be allowed to give as often as once a month, if the need arises. Donors are not required to give regularly, however, and will be accepted if they fulfill the program’s requirements. They must be between the ages of 17 and 65, weigh at least 110 lbs. and have a medical history free of infectious and lingering diseases. Operating out of the Red Cross office at 785 Delaware Ave., the program is open from 9:30 a.m.—3:30 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 1—7 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and on Saturdays from 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Additional hours are available upon request. Because of the complex procedures, only two donors are received daily. The program supplies over 50 area hospitals and provides the platelets at cost. Potential donors may call the organization at 886-7500, extension 282, for information.

But for the inner city students who attend this University’s Educational Opportunity Center, (EOC), the main learning problems are in ph onics and comprehension, to according Nancy Barnes, director of the center’s reading lab. The bulk of her students are learning to read so they may take the high school equivalency program. These students usually cannot words, and pronounce many cannot read critically. “The main problem for the reader who cannot read up to capacity is that he does not think while reading, and he does not use his own background to relate the material to what he already knows,” said Ms. Barnes. “Good readers see themselves in relation to the material.” Self value If the reader does not see the relationship of the material to his own life, he gets turned off in she emphasized. school, Eventually, his lack of participation makes the printed matter seem foreign to him. The approach used in the EOC lab is all-encompassing. Students are taught both phonetically and by the sight method, in which they listen to a story played on tape as the words are flashed on the screen. This procedure is followed with comprehension questions Eventually, to test learning. phonics, sight and sound are all presented on the screen. Tachistoscopes, or controlled readers, are usetl to improve scanning and speed comprehension. “The first step in helping these students is getting them to talk about it,” said Ms. Barnes, to help do away with the negative self concept they have developed. Developmental programs are also available at Erie County Community College and Buffalo State College, Most of these programs have some students who are not below “normal” reading levels, but who wish to better their reading study and techniques. �Save the Peace D.C. rally to focus on culture of Vietnamese give WASHINGTON (LNS) to the 1973 Peace Agreement for the to Organizers Assembly Save the Peace Agreement report that there has been a “massive Many activities The three-day conference will groundswell response" to the three-day anti-Indochina War be a solidly packed affair which conference due to be held in will include small group Washington, D.C. beginning workshops, plenary sessions/ a demonstration, a commemoration tomorrow Organized by the Coalition to of the signing of the Peace Stop Funding the War and the Agreement, the appearance of United Campaign for Peace in several notable Vietnamese Indochina, the conference representatives, a day of lobbying coincides with the secondary at Capitol Hill, movies and a anniversary of the signing of the Vietnamese cultural event.

That charge came from a state senate investigation which reported last month that agents from the Inspectional Service Division (ISD) of the Baltimore City Police Department have been keeping files and spying on newsmen from The Sun, The Evening Sun, The News American, and several local TV and radio stations. Maryland Governor Marvin Mandel called for a detailed report from Baltimore Police Commissioner Donald Pomerleau, who later announced that the ISD files contain no names of “any political figures, any public figures, any newspaper reporters or any clergymen.” Mr. Pomerleau’s memorandum, however, did contain an appendix listing 40 to 50 names of persons suspected of criminal activity. The report denied police complicity in political surveillances, but acknowledged that “activity folders” on some personalities (four newsmen among them) “could have been . , created.” Commissioner Pomerleau explained that the folders should not be confused with “investigative files on these officials.” The “files” state that Arthur Geiselman, a former reporter for The Evening Sun and WBAL-TV, owned city property illegally. Mr. Geiselman testified that a group of plainclothes policemen had followed him around Baltimore, taking pictures and that the “city property” he had in his possession was a series of photographs showing underworld chieftan Bernie Brown with Governor Mandel and several local public officials. The pictures, scheduled to be shown on WBAL-TV, were pulled by the station’s legal counsel under a highly unusual threat of lawsuit, Mr. Geiselman said. “Pomerleau was trying to find the photos so he could have incriminated Mandel,” he explained. How can Mandel investigate this thing when he very well may be involved? The ISD report said it had not placed A1 Sanders, a reporter for WJZ-T, under surveillance, as reported in the New American. Mr. Sanders had allegedly been seen at the funeral of a slain city policeman talking to and leaving the automobile of a person with a criminal record. But “there was never a written record made of the incident at ISD,” the report stated. The ISD report did not respond to allegations by the News American that two of its reporters were under surveillance nor did it comment on charges that Robert Twigg, The Sun’s former Police Headquarters reporter, had been watched. Police spokesmen denied that the phones at The Sun’s Police Headquarters office had been tapped in May 1973. Governor Mandel said the IDS had “received a report” that Michael B. Davis, a former Evening Sun reporter, “was in the pay of organized crime figure Bernie Brown.” Gov. Mandel accused Davis and Brown of attempting to “shake this office down to free a prisoner that they were interest in.” He charged that a story Mr. Davis wrote about the improper transfer of state prison inmates was designed to get Charles Tipton, a prisoner in the Maryland House of Correction, out of jail. Mr. Davis replied to the Governor’s accusation, stating that he did not know what a shakedown meant. Philip S. Heisler, Managing Editor of The Evening Sun, backed Mr. Davis. He asserted that “Davis was simply trying to find out whether anyone was trying to shake down Mr. Tipton.” Discussing Mr. Pomerleau’s claim that he was on the take, Mr. Davis said, “Bernie Brown never even bought me a drink. He was merely a news source, as he was for many other reporters who covered criminal activities in Baltimore.” �Deadlocked committee sends no calendar recommendation by Kim Weiss Staff Writer Spectrum President Robert Ketter is expected Monday to rule out changing the spring recess from March 8-21 to March 22—31 to conform to the religious observances of Jewish students. The Calendar Committee deadlocked in a 5-5-1 vote on the issue last week, and will therefore forward their report to Dr. Ketter next week with no recommendation. The proposed calendar changes originated last year with members of the Jewish Student Union (JSU), who felt that the date of the spring recess should be changed to coincide with the Easter-Passover holiday period. Last May, JSU president Steve Laub contacted Student Association (SA) executive vice president Scott Salimando, who supported the idea of the calendar change. Mr. Salimando was referred to Admissions and Records Director Richard Dremuk by Dr. Ketter. Mr. Salimando told Mr. Dremuk in a letter that a recess concurrent with the holiday time period would be more convenient for traveling students to be with their families. Moreover, he explained, there was ample precent for the change: three other SUNY centers offer their spring recess during this period, as well as many other schools in the state. He also cited a student referendum. and petitions supporting the change. Not till next year Mr. Salimando also recommended that when the Easter and Passover holidays do not coincide, the Calendar Committee should assign the recess arbitrarily in the middle of the semester, as it has done in the past. Last June 27 the Calendar Committee reconvened and generally approved the proposal, according to Mr. Dremuk. “However,.’ he said, “the ’74—’75 calendar had already been announced earlier that month, and various segments of the school population had begun to make plans according to that schedule.” Therefore, the proposal was not expected to go into e.fect until the ’75—’76 school year, he explained. Mr. Dremuk said the issue was pretty much left aside until early December of this year. “The spark which re-ignited the fire was set off when Buffalo State College changed its calendar late last semester,” he explained. JSU spokesman Sam Prince said that if the State College could alter its calendar at such a late date to convenience the students, “then it can and should be done here. More importantly,” he added, “we have been working for this reform for over three years now and we are quite frustrated at being told to wait time and again.” Insurmountable problems Walter Kunz, associate dean of undergraduate education and member of the Calendar Committee, said he was sympathetic to the students’ request but said, “Logic dictates that if you make a change at such a late date which will affect 28,000 people, undoubtedly, insurmountable problems will arise.” Mr. Dremuk said he was told by the seven provosts that it would be a serious inconvenience to many staff members. “The Health Science Faculty would be in a grave dilemma,” he said, because it depends heavily on clinical work. Appointments for dental work are made several months in advance and could not be rescheduled until the summer months, Dr. Kunz explained. “What’s more, UB with 30 other organizations, is given first choice every May for facility time at local hospitals. Many students would be negatively affected if they were unable to make use of the facilities,” he added. Dr. Kunz said the Micro-molecular Biology Department was expecting a shipment of specimens during the proposed vacation, and people must be on campus to receive them. Additionally, Schussmeisters Ski Club has put down an $800 deposit for a ski trip during the second week in March that would be forfeited if the calendar was altered. “Many professor." he continued, “have made plans now, and could conceivably file a legal complaint if the calendar were changed." vacation No discrimination Andrew Holt, associate dean of the Graduate School and a member of the Calendar Committee, said that in the past the committee favored an arbitrary mid-semester break to avoid potential discrimination against persons of any denominations. He said the committee “held rigidly to the concept of separation of church and state." Dr. Holt objected to the change now only because he believes that any alterations would be “unwise” under the current contractual agreements. The JSU, however, is continuing its campaign for the recess change. Mr, Laub and Judy Friedler in 4 letter Wednesday, urging Dr. Ketter to make the change, said, “We are tired of being put off. We realize that it is rather late now, but it is the committee’s short-sightedness which has brought this situation about.” Ekwenzi urges new African literature Speaking before a largely African audience in Diefendorf Hall Wednesday, popular African author Cyrian Ekwenzi spoke about the need for a native African literature that would “get the people reading.” Explaining that “literature defines itself over time,” Mr. Ekwenzi appealed to the young African writer to “free his own impressions.” Mr. Ekwenzi views the African novelist as a “prophet to mirror African society,” and a person who must serve as an instructor. Mr, Ekwenzi divided African literature into two categories, “elitist” and “for the masses.” He described the folk tales of Amitya, writings of between ten and fifty pages, which he said were lurid tales of men and women. Pointing to the problem of language, Mr. Ekwenzi said the African author usually writes in either French or English, making it extremely difficult to translate the works back into African languages. He described the African who studies abroad as “displaced, neither African, nor American.” Addressing the critics of the new African literature, Mr. Ekwenzi differentiated between those with “good hearts,” and those who take on arbitrary positions of authority. The first help to develop the literature, he said, while African critics who are familiar with the literary scene have the responsibility of shaping Africa’s literary future. He said that African novelists would soon take their places in world literature. A natural living dorm suite by Martin Brooks Staff Writer Spectrum Complaints about dormitory life seem to be a standard topic of conversation among college students. Reasons for the griping can be as serious as building security, a problem raised here this past year, or as superficial as carpeting color or the location of the nearest bar. No matter how large the problem, however, individual students'-SStking to rectify the problems have generally resorted to mere complaining. This has not been the case at Duke Universiyt, in Durham, N.C., where social and environmental concern has motivated six undergraduate women to form a unique suite in,. Wilson House, a Duke dormitory. The living arrangement is based on a commitment to the idea of living naturally and practically by minimizing waste in energy anil food consumption while promoting innovative use of these resources, according to Barbara Beinstein, a member of the Natural Living Group that is conducting the experiment. Natural lifestyle “We want to come up with a workable natural lifestyle that will fit into the university and still be healthful and much less wasteful than we are accustomed to,” she said. “Because everything we is so easily come by, we use things simply because they are there.” “This leads to mammoth waste and a mentality that encourages further inefficiency at a time when we can ill afford it,” Ms, Beinstein went on. “What we are attempting to do is examine our actions through natural living.” Important in developing a natural lifestyle is questioning how to go about it in a better way, have according to the group. The Natural Living Group plans to grow as much of its own food as possible, recycling everything, renounce plastics, and possibly build a small scale solar beater. In short, they plan to search for- a balance between our wasteful industrial society and the total renunciation of modern technology. r “i GOOD FOOD RESTAURANT Hong Kong Chicken with vegetable.

However, if we solve only the problems of education, our educated children will solve Herbert Lehman, the problems we have left. former Governor of New York " Before soaring inflation and recession have a disasterous effect on access to higher education in New York State, the SUNY Board of Trustees must do everything possible to prevent an increase in tuition or dormitory room rent. The burden of a tuition or rent hike would be shouldered most by those least able to cope with it poor and working at a time when education may be the only hope for people ending their economic troubles. A recent study by the National Commission on the Financing of Postsecondary Education found that for every $100 increase in tuition, there is a corresponding 2.5 percent drop in enrollment. While there is admittedly a need for more careful spending in this period of economic crisis, fiscal austerity should not include measures which deny education to those unable to pay college costs when education is so vital for achieving an awareness of our interdependent world. A hike in tuition and living expenses would also have a resounding effect on middle class families. In recent years, middle class students have been flocking to low-tuition public colleges because they are ineligible for most financial awards and cannot afford the enormous costs of a private institution. An increase in tuition would only push them further into the squeeze between the lower and upper classes. Four years ago, tuition at this University was a yearly $400; it is now $650 and $800 for lower and upperclassmen respectively. No increase in Regents Scholarship or Scholar Incentive awards accompanied that tuition hike. Consequently, attendance at the State University for four years now costs $2900 instead of $1600. The increase is multiplied for parents who send more than one child to college. When parental inability forces the student to finance his education himself, he must either work while he goes to school, if he can find a job, or take out large loans which leave him in heavy debt when he graduates. In supporting the Student Association of the State University's (SASU) opposition to any hike, we are not asking the state to throw disproportionate amounts of money into the University. We are simply asking the Governor and Legislature to adequately fund the University, and the Board of Trustees to take the lead in designing and implementing programs to conserve and recycle resources the University now has. SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer and Governor Carey must play an active role in keeping costs stable. As President of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges, which has made the commitment to low tuition a part of its platform. Dr. Boyer would surely embrace the arguments for low tuition. As for Mr. Carey, we hope that the trappings of high office will not make him forget his campaign position fhat "the state, not the student, must bear the burden of financing higher education in these days of inflation and higher costs." — — But seriously . . . by Sparky Alzamora think I’ll put on ‘Taking Care of Business’.” and workin’ ov e rt i me!” my dad cooed back and my parents began doing the bump. Right in time to “Suffragette City.” At one point, my father missed my mother’s bump and he went crashing into their waterpipe. The water spilled, and would have ordinarily stained our shag carpeting, only the carpeting had been ripped up. “Heavy bummer,” my dad sighed. “Bummer royale,” my mom concurred. “What’s all the bummer shit, give me a break, folks!” I was getting angry. “Whatever happened to Andy Williams and our tacky silver candelabra, and the pink flamingos on our front laws, and now that 1 think about it, my younger brother and sister?” “All sold.” “Even Mary and Eliot?” “They’re at private schools, the best our pink flamingos could buy,” dad said. “But why the change in middle-class attitudes, values and mores? It’s not like you to abandon Jacob Javits for Timothy Leary.” I never got an answer because several of the neighbors walked into the house without ringing, knocking or scratching, exchanged peace symbols with my folks, and everybody did the bump. Why weren’t they home watching Maude or MASH or The Six Million Dollar Manl One thing in its favor was that it looked better than some of the weekend parties in Buffalo. “Anybody want to do Nitrous Oxide?” I pretended not to hear that. One neighbor brought over a tank of the gas and circulated balloons around and everybody got fucked-up. “More balloons!” my dad pleaded. “Quick, another balloon before I come down!” mom pleaded. One neighbor took too much, and grabbed his wife’s left breast and she pulled off her halter, and before you knew it, they were making love on the waterbed, where the piano used to be. “Nitrous doesn’t make you do that,” said I from .. 1 had just arrived home at the start of Christmas vacation when I noticed something peculiar. On the door, hanging directly above our brass eagle door-knocker, was a cardboard Santa with arms and legs that bend at the elbows and knees. His hand was pinned against his mouth with a make-shift hash pipe protruding from its chubby lips. The caption, written on his belt, read: Tfiis Family Wishes You A HIGH Christmas. “That’s odd,” 1 thought. That was just the beginning of odd. A tornado of banana incense wooshed past my face as I cautiously peered over the surroundings of what was once my home. The imitation Rembrandt (“The Soldier in the Golden Helmet”) no longer complimented our Lowerey organ; a black and white poster of Jimi Hendrix hung there. In fact, the organ was gone and a sick looking wooden chair took its place. I was despondent; I had never gotten around to taking organ lessons. The entire middle-class look of my home had taken on an avant-garde type of appearance. Pat Nixon might have designed it on LSD. I immediately became ill to my stomach. Charles Manson had escaped maximum security, rounded up his coterie of curvaceious cut-up cuties and ultimately destroyed my family. “PIG” scrawled in blood? I couldn’t find “PIG” scrawled in blood. Had the Mansons mopped off before they left? The man I call “dad” broke through the bead curtains separating the dinette from the living room. He poked his hand out, palm up. “What do you want me to do, dad?” “Slap me five.” “Huh?” ‘Give me some flesh,” 'That’s ‘Give me some skin’ dad, not flesh So I gave him some skin. Dad no longer resembled the Robert Young School of Fashion. He wore an Eddie Haskell T-shirt, and white, tastefully dirty, painter’s pants. The woman I call “mom” stepped into the scene. She donned a way-too skimpy halter-top, light jeans, and red, crystaline, platform shoes the kind Elton John wears on the cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road." “Like ’em, son? Elton John has a pair just like them.” “Ah yeah, but they’re not as nice as your’s and dad’s uni-sex hair-styles. I didn’t know you emulated Telly Savalas so much!” “Outrageous!” my dad agreed. Throughout the commotion, I forgot to notice the stereo, or rather, what was playing on the stereo. David Bowie. I began to feel ill again. “I’m into Bowie now,” my mom said. “Last week, I was into the Dead, the week before, 1 was into Chick Corea, and at the beginning of the month, I was into BTO.” “BTO?” “Bachman-Turner Overdrive,” she squealed. “1 - experience. “It does when you been taking sopers all night,” gasped between hits of nitrous. “I better leave,” I said. “Before you do, take out the cat,” dad commanded. “Forget about the cat, son,” my mom chuckled, “your father ran over him in the driveway last night.” I lost my mellow head. “You mean you squished the fucking cat with your Jew Canoe?!!” “Don’t lose your cold . . .” “That’s ‘cool,’ dad.” “Don’t lose your cool. 1 didn’t kill him.

MIRRY �HERMANN HESSE'S what happens to her because of it, but her inscrutible eyes and the most sensuous smile since Garbo make speculation wwo( S** seem pointless. Pierre Clementi as her boyfriend Pablo, the saxophonist who helps introduct Harry to the Magic Theatre, looks exactly like a leftover from the trailer for Andy Warhol's Oracula which precedes the film at the Granada Theatre. But he is the personification of decadence (come to think of it, perhaps he/s, just like the Count from Transylvania?), and his particular brand of casual, vaguely malevolent sensuality is perfect for, the part. Beyond redemption Even Max Von Sydow, magnificent actor that he is, can't fglly redeem the self-pitying and generally but his contemptible character of Harry Haller performance implies a depth of feeling that Haines' script doesn't begin to plumb. Like Liv Ullmann, another brilliant protegee of Ingmar Bergman, Von Sydow has really horrendous luck with American directors. In films like Hawaii and The Excorcist, and now in Steppenwolf, every gesture and expression suggests a level of complexity with which his co-workers simply can't seem to cope. We get glimpses of the tragically introspective Harry who might have been, but Haines won't give us any more than the grim, insecure nonentity eventually condemned to eternal life by a jury of ghosts for the crime of lacking — Sound receives the same by Randi Schnur Arts Editor As soon as I learned the alphabet {and long before I ever heard of philosophy, hippies, or Hesse), I began going through my parents' bookshelves, wondering what all those funny titles meant. I was eight or ten years old before I could reach the really interesting items; even then, though, my curiosity exceeded my ambition, and I seldom had read the dustry volumes if my mother could describe them to me faster Steppenwolf, she explained briefly at dinner, “is about a man who's really just like a wolf sometimes, or at least he thinks so. It's kind of interesting." Well, I had outgrown that sort of nonsense along with Green Eggs and Ham, I decided, and went back in disgust to whatever the hot item for third graders was that week. By the time I got to college, I had become a little more tolerant, and took a second look at Harry Haller, self-confessed madman and sometime Wolf of the Steppes (although not before reading the first 20 pages of Siddhartha three times, and being only slightly more engrossed by the recent movie). 1 was really searching hard for the mind-blowing cosmic experience several usually trustworthy friends swore that Haller/Hesse had given them; I found nothing much that I didn't know, and quite treatment: a clock behind the table at an uncomfortable dinner party ticks like Poe's Telltale Heart until a diner breaks the long silence. After Harry receives the Tractate on the Steppenwolf from the robot-like street vendor, there is even a short animated sequence (after all, we couldn't just sit there and listen to Max Von Sydow read, now, could we?) in which Hesse's point is made with absolute literalism, in case we might otherwise miss the metaphor. Was Haines so unsure of his material, so bored himself, that he felt it necessary to shock us back to attention every two minutes? humor. My mother was right Touch of class For such an unexciting film, Steppenwolf doesThave a really trertiendous cast. As Hermine, the prostitute who brings Harry back to life and either does or does not end up by sacrificing herself (depending, I suppose, on your point of view), Dominique Sanda has a face and style that almost make one forgive the incredible things coming out of her mouth. Why she decides to pay so much attention to Harry in the first place is left as much of a mystery as special effects and — bits fo Steppenwolf, with its crazy fine acting, is "kind of interesting." But Pablo's comment to his friend "You're a lulu, Harry. You talk just like a book" is true of all the other characters as well, and the particular book which comes to mind can't quite sustain Fred Haines' treatment. The other recently released Hesse film, Conrad Rooks' Siddhartha, was even more visually beautiful and emotionally stultifying; let's hope for better luck, and a little more thought next time. — — a bit that I didn't care about anyway. Cosmic cliches The schizoid conflict between opposing, overlapping selves, and the bigger one between illusion and reality, were no major revelations. Neither was the idea that no laughter makes Harry a dull boy, and neither, certainly, was the (apparently) drug-induced vision of the Magic Theatre, For Madmen Only. Hesse's self-hating protagonist becomes Harry in the Sky With Diamonds but the and the him, whatever was hidden inside diamonds reflect not all that kaleidoscopes pretty. the are images in Hesse's jumble of confusing images and simplistic philosophy has now been turned into a confused, extremely literal jumble of a movie by Fred Haines. The screenplay, which he adapted from the novel, sags under the weight of profundities like ''Obedience is like sex nothing like it if you have been without it too long," or "Dancing's as easy as thinking, and a lot easier to learn," or (from a jazz musician dispensing cocaine to some friends on the street) "You can't always get what you want, but you can always get what you need." Delivered to the persistently suicidal Harry with all the solemnity of messages from his waiting grave, these gems from the wisdom of the age are somewhat less than edifying. — — value? His dialogue may Shock not be stimulating, but Haines and cinematographer Tom Pinter more than make up for it with their camera work. Nd trick known to man or movie camera is ignored here; every scene has its visual shock(s). Frames are frozen, colors change, characters appears and disappear into nothing again (usually accompanied by loud laughter and the expected puff of smoke), and camera angles shift mercilessly. cv*i jt-K , yfcDn t . moTjaaq<i «<ij[ . jnp« apjsH �fonsMR&RD Magic Lantern by Jay Boyar According to a story that's floating around, a noted Film Critic had many uncomplimentary things to say about Federico Fellini in his latest (and, as yet, unpublished) book. Then the Film Critic saw Amarcord, and he wanted to take it all back. His publisher said that it was absolutely too late to rewrite the entire section, so the Critic took the proof sheets and ingeniously changed all the uncomplimentary words about Fellini to complimentary words with the same number of letters. How much of this story is true, Tm sure I don't know. The point is that Amarcord (I Remember) is a film that will cause people to revise their views on Fellini and begin loving his work. Again. Amarcord is set in a small, coastal Italian town during the later 1930's. Still, it's not so much set there as it sets you there. You actually seem to be somewhere in the cozy town square with its smooth stone walkways, crazy celebrations, and the snow that makes December sequestered. You're there in the spring, too, as those celestial, white dandelion puffs float carelessly through the square. charming, vigorous gentleman with a warm smile. He moves his practical bicycle through the square taking care not to disturb anyone or upset a strand of the thick silver-blue hair under his hat. Another "narrator" is an old, thin fellow with holes in his dirty gloves; a pre-War Freddie the Freeloader. The "narrators" provide a sense of Rimini's history and boundaries without pushing their own personalities too hard. You find you are free to look at Rimini as Fellini sketches it in his opening shots.

Smiles outward and inward are coupled with emotional malaise ... — - the most common reaction to Fellini's peculiar sense of comedy. Topically, the humor ranges very widely, a homely vendor is lured into the bedroom (it looks like a Busby Berkely set) of a luscious harem whose members nod in unison for him to ravish them, a fool faints at a saint's funeral, mass masturbation in a car is augmented by the blinking of the car's headlights as the shot does a slow fade, a bored dunce juggles three odd objects at a dinner table before the start of a hot family fight, a schoolboy urinates across the length of a classroom, and a seduction scene is shot with the camera moving sensuously up and to produce Current Just as you'd grab a puff should it drift past your nose, so you snatch characters, bits of stories, flashes of local color. Most of the characters who eventually become important to the loose story are initially seen in group shots or just standing, strolling, or muttering single lines. A sexy woman with a sense of humor slides around town jammed in a fiery red dress. Her high cheekbones call you to her mouth; it laughs. Walking through town is a stupidly be satanic school teacher with a scratchy orange beard careful, you could cut yourself on it. A frustrated fat boy dreams and a grizzled old accordion player with black circles for eyes calls another boy a "degenerate." - Don't I know you? As characters assume importance, you remember their earlier, brief appearances because their faces were so vivid in those earlier scenes. Here, Fellini is cartooning a little in order to isolate the people who bear on his story; he chooses actors with particularly expressive faces. It's a technique not very different from using stars (who should have interesting or, at least, recognizable faces anyway) in the key roles except that in Amarcord you feel you know the people from seeing them in earlier shots of the town instead of from seeing them in other movies. It's an effect that is considerably different from that Fellini achieved by using grotesques in some of his past work because in Amarcord, the actors' special facial qualities are more subtle and, happily, more complexly suggestive. The difference is that between a fright mask and rouge. Fellini subdued is Fellini redeemed; the effect assumes a beauty and power when used sparingly to a purpose.

Each boy is enveloped in an unspoken, personal dream; the boys become spiritual scarecrows keeping all dark, wicked birds from the town while they dance. If "I remember" accurately, that music is borrowed from The Nights of Cabiria one of Fellini's best and earliest films. Amarcord borrows a lot of Cabiria'% other charms (like its characters and that sense of magic we saw when Cabiria winked daringly to the audience as the film ended). In fact, Amarcord seems to be as much a borrowing from and a refinement of what Fellini ~r\ sponsored not While Amarcord is made up of little stories, it is The become a episodes sense. usual itself a story in the sometimes whole although they are also distinct and through town. punctuated by a motorcycle that roars More striking, that motorcycle, than was the carnival of were cycles that blazed through Fellini's Roma they vapid a comparatively but film, pretty, in that other exercise in technique.

The film's themes adolescence, the rise of fascism, reflections on family life are integrated into a cinematic poem. The sketches comment on each other. They all have something to do with the epigram, "Winter's death gives birth to Spring," it's spoken at a giant town bonfire when an ancient named "Temperance" barely escapes (or does he?) death amid flames with the straw witch called "Winter." Occasionally the film jumps around in time; when a "narrator" takes us into the past it's like seeing earlier drawings of the characters in the town. several other Fellini films and whose music enhanced Francis Ford Coppola's, recent Godfather movies.

In the comic scene where the madman is shouting for a woman up in his tree, it takes a very sure director's hand to avoid making him appear too crazy and the people on the ground (including his family, three doctors, and a stunted nun) appear too sane or, for that matter, to avoid making them seem too ridiculous and him especially rational. Fellini's instincts, here as elsewhere, are good. He views his world and its people with warmth; not patronizingly, "paternally" is better but still not precise. Perhaps "maternally" is best to express the gentleness, yes distance in his viewpoint. sympathy and After watching Amarcord, you want to get out of the dark, tight theater and walk around Rimini to see first hand the town Fellini has so magically painted. In fact, you want to walk around practically anywhere catching sights and bits of conversation as you go. The film enriches your perceptions; it makes you want to smile and breathe.

Prodigal Sun �I Our Weekly Reader For Love or Money by Roy Doliner (Simon and Schuster) Roy campleting After Doliner's For Love or Money I felt sad; sad because I had hoped for much and received very little. So many of our finest writers continue to depict tailors, grocers, locked into an salesmen, oppressive, dingy, but evocative urban environment, emphasizing character, perhaps some humor, striving for that fragile balance of irony and pathos that can be so poignant at times, but which is becoming increasingly elusive in our manic world . . . and here was Doliner, smiling and appearing so fresh and confident, happy (was it too much to suppose that he was on top of things?), even cute on the back cover photograph: could it be that he, at least, would attempt something different? The opening pages answered: "Yes!" This Doliner was no fool, he had devised a unique situation: Lou Greff, once the owner of most famous the “Greff's," Jewish restaurant in Nueva York, dies. Once in Heaven, he finds that there's no good places to eat; everyone is begging him to open up a new place ("Lou, could you do it again? Could you give us another 'Greff's'?"). The problem is that Lou died without fixing up he didn't his business affairs know that you could "take it with So Lou Greff is given you exactly one week to return to earth, round up his old staff, straighten out his fiscal affairs, round up a little extra capital in order to open a "Greff's" in the — sky. Then Doliner says, "Sounds good, but now some themes." So Jack Sussman, the ."in" to the judge, tells Lou he should find out how Jack's wife murdered him so that when she dies, Jack can get her sent away. Meanwhile, Bernie Greff, the son, is a crumby writer, still in love with Sharon Sussman, Jack's daughter, who married Al Costello, who's having an affair with a foxy black lady. Bernie is tormented about the memory of Lou, and also the inheritance Lou promised him. Somewhere along the line Bernie does a thing with Sharon's mother, the one who murdered Jack. The villain is the Mastermind, a shyster lawyer who's tring to flimflam everyone out of their money: he's the brains behind the murder(s). Lou cleans the slate with his mistress, a manicurist, and persuades his Polish baker to commit suicide in order to join the staff. What is saddest of all is that Dolines finds all this nonsense very funny and also very meaningful. Father-son identity crisis, murder, infidelity, old romance, the down home integrity of a pastrami sandwich: Roy's got it all down. There's even a thing about twin brothers (almost) one is the son of the dynamic who are Israeli female premier separated during childhood. And just when you least expect it there's an ironic twist on the old father-son reunion that would just dazzle you if it weren't so bizarre, so irrelevant, so ridiculous. The narrator sounds like this. "An experienced woman with fine Miss legs. Regan handled a well." And Vone is barstool supposed to say after reading that: "My uncle talked just like — that." Characters sound like this: "You've also got to go to the Old Man. Let him do a square wing tip for you, and maybe something in buck. You may not get another to create his own mythologized urban Jewish community, with shot at him." Or; "Why do I take this? Why do I need it? I'm a wealthy man, well thought of, esteemed in the highest circles." In the midst of all this plotting, Heaven the characters in telephone down to earth, just to kibbitz; and the climactic scene takes place at the train station, with a mad rush to catch that last subtle or blatant differences that the all the the opportunity to imagine his own version (detached, comic); he would have the fictional freshness and added pungence of being able to criticize, comment, satirize, and shape the same fictional materials that he loves: the ethnic Jewish milieu. But Roy doesn't see things that way; he's definitely his own man. Why bother with changing folk-culture into myth when you can just get it all down right? So the Heaven that Lou arrives in is he needs just like the real world an "in" to get to see the influential judge who will let him return to earth, and that judge is a dumb ex-ball player who received the job as a political favor; Lou — lives in a rundown flophouse because he's broke, while others live in mansions; God is so aloof that he might as well be in Heaven.

Listen, in case you get the wrong idea; if somehow you find yourself wanting to buy this book, stop, get a hold of yourself, march over to the nearest deli and say, like Lou Greff; "A can of Bumble Bee salmon. Drain the oil, a few slices of cucumber freshly cut, and a tomato quartered, not sliced." Or, if all else fails, try the tongue.

He would have the energy and warmth of ethnic themes, but also mini, money? This Sunday two exceptionally talented country performers, John Prine and David Bromberg, will be appearing at the Century Theater under the auspices of "The New Buffalo Folk Festival." Macro, Green To make it in the music business, a performer usually required to do certain things to keep from starving. This is part of what is commonly referred to as "paying your dues." Most top stars have a history of schlock skeletons in their closets playing weddings and bar mitzvahs, in top 40 bands, or whatever else the specific case may be. Some others simply people find this fact disillusioning find it amusing. Most musicians are more than glad to be able to leave that phase of their careers behind them: some try to conceal it, some grudgingly or laughingly admit to it However, f have never known until last Safurday'rpgtat*when anyone to flaunt it was Barry Manilow came to Kleinhantf, and subjected to what had to be one of the most revolting displays of commerciality ever witnessed. (HINT; that's a pun.) — — — I Chic city They say you can't judge a book by its cover, have known by the looks of the crowd (especially the two fifty-year-old women with grey hair and red pantsuits). Where is it at when the audience is more dressed up than the performers? (Oh we must be in Buffalo.) It had to be one of the most well-behaved crowds I've ever seen (translation; dead). Anyway, Robert Klein came bouncing on stage in faded jeans and Adidas, faithful red bandana hanging out of his back pocket, and proceeded to deliver a rip-roaringly funny routine that lasted about an hour. Like most good comedians, most of Klein's best material comes from his ability to rip away the facade: to separate the illusion from the reality, and make us laugh in the process. He particularly enjoys ridiculing the sugar coatings and hypes used by the large institutions, something you already know if ypu've heard either of his albums. but I should — Commercial During seemed this particular performance, Klein to focus on the entertainment business, both live and on T.V., as one of the more insidious perpetrators of deluding the public. He kept coming back to the subject of commercials again and again, attacking them from an infinite number of perspectives, all equally perceptive. From the starved dog used by Ed McMahon on those live Alpo commercials ("sure he'd eat Ed's arm if he could") to the Amoco oil "environmental" plugs ("What can one man do, my friend? I'll tell — you what one man can do. I'd like to see the President of Amoco put his mouth over the exhaust pipes oL-some brand new car with Amoco chugging in it. That's what one man can do, my friend.") to the famous confrontation between the boogying cockroaches and the fascist Raid can, Klein's cracks were continually right on target. (I was to remember this part of his routine later with more than a tinge of irony.) Some of his other bullseyes included dentistry (". . . dentists are the only people we pay to cause us pain"), children's shows ("Sesame Street is the only show that even five-year-olds know is dumber than they are") sports, and Sermonette. Klein didn't do an encore. There wasn't sustained applause. Looking back, I do recall the slightly uncomfortable feeling that my friend and I were laughing harder than anyone else. After one of the quietest intermissions on record, Barry Manilow's band came out. Four pieces and three girls in glittering gowns with matching eye make-up (two black, one white). The band started with a fast driving number. One of the girls stepped Mr. Barry up to her mike: "Ladies and gentlemen Manilow!" A feeble smattering of applause greeted his entrance. The emaciated Mr. Manilow, garbed all in white with "Chopin" written in glittering gold letters across his chest sat down at the piano and began to sing "It's A Miracle." It certainly wasn't. The girls had neat little dance steps and hand motions with which he joined in occasionally. Groan. Las Vegas, here we come. — Minus Midler If you don't know, Manilow used to be Bette Midler's arranger, and his numbers were very reminiscent of hers, with one important exception; he had none of the outrageous sass that carries Bette's performances. Most of his songs smack of the mid-sixties ( in fact, there was even a Martha and the Vandellas medley), and it occurred to me that it has taken this long for what was once a new and revolutionary art form to take its place in the "acceptable" files of the unhip generation. Deco-dent. Manilow was obviously somewhat nervous, and his performing style, which consisted of occasionally jumping up from his piano to do a weak Jagger-type strut, could use both practice and originality. In mid-show, Manilow explained that this was the part of the show where a performer was required to do something familiar, or else the audience would "get nudgy and start ordering pizzas. So here's some material I've either written, arranged, or been involved with." Have you guessed yet? Manilow and Co. proceeded to run through a medley of his greatest hits; the Kentucky Fried Chicken jingle, the State Farm Insurance jingle, the Pepsi Generation, and for a grand finale, a star spangled rendition of the MacDonald's jingle, replete with a 21 gun salute and flashing lights. Egg McNothing I mean, what It was all downhill from there could follow an act like that? As far as I'm concerned, that's the bottom line. People paying generally money to see T.V. commercials considered to be the worst shit in the world and digging it. I wish I could say that Barry Manilow is a no talent. But it's not that easy. Some of his ballads are actually very beautiful (like "Sandra"). Most of his songs are well-written. He has a pleasing vocal style. Now if he only knew how to treat his own stuff with some respect. I walked out to the strains of "Mandy," his latest AM hit, accompanied by enthusiastic bursts of applause. Finger lickin' good? — — — Not for —WiHa Bassen me. Friday, 24 January 1975 The Spectrum .

Ask any theater manager. Given that fact, it seems more appropriate to skip the personal opinion and move on to the reasons why the theater was full, and tell what others can expect from this film. The plot of Murder on the Orient Express is a guaranteed attention-getter: The Great American Murdery Mystery. No matter what the nationality of the author, we Americans love a murder mystery. In this case, the author (Agatha Christie) is the tops in her field. The victim is a rude fellow by the name of Ratchet (Richard Widmark), who is stabbed in the middle of the night on the Orient Express. The suspects are the other twelve passengers on the individually is their brief interrogation, the actor has to be good and/or well-known in order to create a human being in five lines. It's here that some stand out, and some fade away. Albert Finney is Hercules Poirrot. He alters his voice and physical appearance to create the man from the books, and he is absolutely convincing. His beady-eyed Poirrot manages to stay two steps ahead of us without losing us completely, and the energy he exudes often overpowers some of the weaker performances in the film. He is so good that it would be a mistake for him to duplicate the role in whatever sequel is probably being planned. There just isn't much more he could do with Poirrot without winding up in a rut. He seems to have achieved perfection with the first try. coach.

Aside from the fact that Paul Krehbiel’s article “The Developments Which Led to the Mid-East of Today” (12/11/74) is a pile of assorted misrepresentations, it definitely has no business appearing as a new article. If space is unavailable in the waste-basket or in a treatise on the “big lie” technique, such slanted material should be printed on the editorial page where opinions belong. Anybody pretending to write an article on the development of the mid-east who fails to mention the Yom Kippur war, and the fact that the Israeli “secret attack” on the Egyptian air forces in 1967 was provoked by an Egyptian blockade of a vital (to give two glaring examples of distortion) is either an ignoramus, a bigot, or both. Which are you, Mr. Krehbiel?

If that were not enough, at least 76 of these company security people are former F.B.I. agents, and there are indications that Bell maintains close working relationships not only with local police but with the Bureau.

The highest percentage of students on the Dean’s List occurred in 1969/70 with about 5 1 percent. Since then the percentage has stabilized at around 31 percent. University Dean n “official” racism has encouraged the open bigotry of the Nazis, and it is clear that city, state and federal governments have absolutely no intention of wiping out the racism in the institutions of public education, housing, health care, etc. that they manage. To change the situation we can rely only on ourselves: on multi-racial, student-worker unity. Racism means billions of dollars in profits for the big bosses who rule this country, and every cent is taken out of our collective working-class hide. Those who will persist in thenracism, not until they are “proven wrong” in “open debate,” but until they are physically stopped by carry out the policies of the rich masses of black, Latin, Native American, and white working people committed to fighting for control over their own lives, i.e. for an anti-racist, workers’ government: socialism. agents. What is astonishing, of course, is that the government would permit a private company to spy on citzens in the first place, with or without a court order. Next we’ll be giving A&P a license to frisk every customer at the check-out stand to find out who’s stealing onions. The astonishment turns to more immediate concern when we learn that Bell has hired a small army of spooks who have only themselves to answer to, and whose judgement on whom to tap, when and for how long is absolute and final. Indeed, by the company’s own reckoning, this earphone armada costs far more to equip and maintain than the total amount Bell loses in revenue from long distance cheating, at least in Houston where six security agents, three of them ex-F.B.I. men, work to prevent losses from fraud that company officials estimate to be in the neighborhood of $100,000. Why, if these six were paid $17,000 a year each, to be sure not an outrageous figure for career veterans, Bell would be spending more on security salaries alone than it is losing from fraud. Not exactly a sound business practice, especially in light of the fact that Ma Bell, just like the rest of us, has the option of picking up the phone and calling the police when she thinks someone is stealing from her. So what is this security army doing? It’s a question the Justice Department needs to ask. Just how long has the tapping operation been in effect? How many phones have been tapped, whose, when, for how long and on what grounds? What information has been gleaned from the operation, where and how is it maintained, who has access to it, how much of it has been given out, to whom and for what purposes? The federal courts should immediately subpoena and impound any evidence which might provide answers to those questions, and should order Bell to cease and desist its entire wiretapping operation for the duration of the investigation. Congress, in the meantime, should move quickly to repeal the federal statute under which Beil’s security agents have been operating. Not too many issues are that simple. This one is.

While Dr. Hockfield could not predict the outcome of a faculty vote on the issue, he noted that “what made the matter harmless before was that students didn’t vote.

Ashby Starring Jack Nicholson Randy Quqid ft****************************** Jury selection in the case is expected to last several weeks. Challenges will be made by attorneys as soon as the first jury pool of 12 is questioned. As many as four jury pools may be interviewed before a final jury is approved by both the defense and the prosecution. In addition to the questioning process, the Attica defense is utilizing the skills of two volunteer specialists; Jay Shulman, nationally known for his “scientific jury selection method,” and David Sugs, an expert on body language. Potential jurors are encouraged to ask questions as they are being reviewed. One was concerned, however, that his involvement would force his personal history to be made public. Mr. Clark told the court that this type of probing was not the objective of the defense, but acknowledged that community leaders and neighbors might be questioned about the character of a particular juror. He said the press sometimes conducts investigations of its own. Persons working on the case do not have access to school or work records, however. The intensity of jury selection questionning was expressed by one prospective juror who said there was a “need for a lawyer in the jury box.” Co-Council denied On January 17, Judge King reversed a ruling he had previously made allowing the defendants to speak on their own behalf in court and cross-examine witnesses. This area of law was left to the discretion of the judge, since there was no precedent. Defendants are usually represented by a lawyer, or handle their defenses by themselves, but the right to do both is still debateable. When questioned by the defense. Judge King provided no explanation for the reversal. Wade hearings have begun in another Attica trial where former inmates Frank Smith, Herbert Blyden, Eric Thompson, Roger Champen and Bernard Stroble ate accused of killing Barry Schwartz and Kenneth Hess, two other Attica inmates. Wade hearings are held before the formal opening of :riminal prosecution to insure that witnesses have identified defendants without being pressured by suggestive tactics by the prosecution. The first Attica trial to reach a jury ended after the jury had deliberated only half an hour, finding Vernon La Franque innocent of the possession of a tear gas gun. Julie Kryder, a juror in the case, said, “The evidence was very lacking and there were contradictions in the testimony of the prosectuions witnesses.” TICKET POLICY 50c for first afternoon show 100c all other times 1.25 Fac/Staff/ Alumni $1.50 Friends of University **�**��***��*�***�**�***�***��� All Films in the Conference Theatre Norton For information call 5117 c JShU'c# tfftfeim �past, students appeared at the cafeterias with quart jars and plastic bags which they filled for friends not on the meal plan.

The Bulls will be looking to improve their disappointing 7-11 1 record and strengthen their playoff hopes y y4t such a slow start this year. “Our schedule’s set up badly,” remarked Perry, who, along with Sylvester, plays 35-45 minutes each game. “We play too many Division One teams early,” claimed Perry, “and we just don’t have the depth to play them that often.” Sylvester concurred; “We get in a rut after playing the Division One teams, then it’s tough to get up for the other teams, like Kent State and Elmira.” — for either an ECAC or CCHL berth — or both. Ray Gruarin, the top scoring newcomer, has tallied four goals and six assists in his first five games. Gruarin may be the spark needed to improve the Bulls anemic scoring. Buffalo has always been known as an offensive club, with scores like 9-6 far more numerous than 2—1 results. In fact, last year, Buffalo was the top scoring team in the East, tallying 200 goals, an average of nearly seven goals per game. Less punch This season, the offense has yet to produce, making defensive lapses more significant. “Nobody realizes that defense starts with the forwards,” remarked defenseman Mark Sylvester. “The forwards have to come back and play defense so the defensemen can stand up at the blue line and break up the play. If they {the forwards] don’t come back, we have to back in on our own goalie, and it gives the other team time to set up.” Another defenseman, sophomore Mike Perry, explained why the Bulls are off to Out of the stands “We have a lot of young guys on our team who haven’t had the experience yet,” continued Perry. “It’s especially tough for them against these teams. Some of those teams, like Bowling Green, have guys in the stands who could step in and play just about as well as anyone on our team.” The Bulls award no full scholarships, whilp teams like Bowling Green, Clarkson, and St. Lawrence have most, if not all, of their players on full rides. This week, the Bulls have their chance to prove themselves. The week starts off with a three game New England road trip against St. Anselm’s, Salem State and New England. Right wing Mike Klym figures to score his 100th career goal on this trip. After the New England swing, the Bulls return home for a series with Western Michigan for a Central Collegiate League tournament bid. “We’ve still got to win the big game,” observed Sylvester. “We’ve been losing the key games we could have won, like Oswego and especially Hamilton. Everything rests on this next week whether we make the playoffs or not.” Buffalo defenseman Mike Perry (No. 5) hustles for puck in action last season. Perry had some discouraging words about his fellow students. "I think we've got fair weather fans. It's depressing when you skate and no one's there. Moore kept the game dose.

When this shot was taken last week, Engel, Spectrum Photo Editor Kim Santos and a workman were the only ones inside. Next month hundreds of students will be playing basketball, tennis, badminton and other activities inside the billowing edifice. GIF by Bruce Engel Last Monday, we noted recreation director Bill Monkarsh’s excitement over the inflation of the Amherst Bubble. This column probably criticizes more than it praises, but on this occasion I am thoroughly pleased to give credit where credit is due. Monkarsh has displayed unusual energy and dedication while busting his chops for this thing during the last year and a half. He got a well-earned thrill when he and Duane Moore, who also deserves a lot of credit, stood inside and watched the Bubble inflate around them. However, not to slight the untiring efforts of Moore and Monkarsh, the Bubble stands as a tribute to student power and politics. It was a student project almost from the start. The single incident most responsible for the securing of the funds from the state was a trip to Albany taken last spring by SA Student Affairs Coordinator Howie Schapiro, Warren Breisblatt (then Athletic Review Board Chairman), and Stan Morrow. This trio spent a hectic but successful two days in the state capital meeting with everyone and his brother in an attempt to secure the funds. Now that the Bubble is a reality, a little Anyone who has played with a bar magnet can tell you that opposites attract. Similarly, it takes people of diverse abilities and diverse.backgrounds to form a basketball team. Buffalo coach Leo Richardson has assembled a team with widely varying backgrounds and from many parts of the country. It took a while but now, as if attracted like polar magnets, the team has jelled and is playing well. Jeff Baker is the prime example. Unlike most athletes, Baker was not recruited. He served in the Air Force in Niagara Falls after graduating from Central Senior High School in the nation’s capital. as his teammates call him “Shake and Bake” introduced himself to Richardson after a Buffalo game last year and told the coach that he could help the team. Apparently, Richardson is convinced, since Baker has become a starter at forward. Jeff is 22 years old and his goal is to play for the U.S. Olympic basketball team in 1976. The Bulls other starting forward, Bob Dickinson, fits the “All-American schoolboy” mold. Following his career at John F. Kennedy High School in Plainview, where he was named All-County, he was heavily recruited. He chose Buffalo and became a big success in his first year here, scoring 19 points per game for Buffalo’s freshman team. Now a senior and co-Captain, “Dicks” is averaging just over ten points per game. Buffalo’s starting center, Sam Pellom is a 19 year old freshman with a baby face that makes him - - Life project. Throughout the process there was disagreement over what would and wouldn’t be done with the Bubble, who would provide the funds and who would be in control. Now the state has put it up, the recreation department is in charge, and the SA’s Athletic budget is paying the staff and purchasing some equipment. It appears that the structure will be used almost exclusively for recreation in the late afternoons and evenings. It will be too late to start classes, and intramural basketball will be almost over when the structure opens for student use. But the students will have a couple of months of much needed indoor recreation, to say nothing of the next four or five school years. With all the controversy, scandal and general depression in the air, this simple little chunk of plain old good news is very refreshing. The Bubble is not a palace, but it’s better than nothing. The mere fact that it is there is something students can be proud of. Now it’s up to you, the students, to protect it, take care of it, and most important, enjoy it.

Gary was not recruited, but after his first three junior varsity games as a freshman, he was elevated to the varsity. Gary became a starter as a sophomore and continues to do an excellent job of bringing the ball up and penetrating the front court. It is apparent that Richardson intends to retain these five starters. But he did not decide on them until after he had tried a very unusual experiment. He played alt 15 of his players in the first half against St. Francis last week, then decided on this unit minus Dickinson. But when Mike Jones got into foul trouble in the following game, Dickinson stepped in, and has been leading the team ever since. These unusual circumstances have resulted in five very different starters and a respectable ball club.

The idea of student government’s actually funding the Bubble was not considered seriously for very long, despite the fact that Athletic Director Harry Fritz seemed willing to accept substantial cuts in the athletic budget if the students built the thing. After it became obvious that the state would have to fund the Bubble, the rumors changed almost daily and different officials checked with the various powers to be in Albany. One day Schapiro would say it looked good and the next day Breisblatt would say it was almost dead. And so it went until the Albany trip all but cemented the semester. Workshops more of its history seems Last year at this time Monkarsh had all but given up on the idea. He had made the proposal but it was going nowhere. Almost bitterly he threw the ball back to student government (Schapiro and Executive Vice President Dave Saleh were already kicking it around) with the warning that 2000 Amherst dorm students might become 2000 disgruntled constituents if they had no place to play. SA President Jon Dandes claimed to have gone the full route on the subject. He had discussed it with all sorts of bureaucrats and list of dangers and security problems.The most Jon cojld get, and he showed me the memo, was a statement from Dr. Somit to the effect that the University could provide the space if the students paid for the project. Dandes could see no way to procure $250,000 of student funds, even over the course of several years. Other student powers remained interested after Jon dropped the project, though. Saleh, Breisblatt and Schapiro renewed the campaign and Monkarsh was more than happy to jump in again. The sympathetic ear of Duane Moore was found in the facilities planning office and the look even younger. Pellom hails from Leland, N.C. and he is in Buffalo by fortunate accident. Leland is about 150 miles from Richardson’s home town and Sam was not recruited until after Richardson “discovered” him there in a summer-league game. Backcourt starter Otis Horne, from local Bennett High, also has an unusual history. He was recruited but because he did not project a 1.6 grade point average, he could not compete as a freshman.

The report recommended that doctoral programs in early modem European history, Medieval history, Latin American history and Far Eastern history be phased out because the University docs not have enough internationally-recognized scholars that hold dissertations and can advise students in these areas. Tony Schamel, President of the Graduate Student Association, said the study, was an attempt by the State Education Department to coordinate Ph.D. programs thoughout the state, and involved outside observers coming to this and other campuses to evaluate the various doctoral programs. The department reviewed programs in history, chemistry, physics and English at public and private institutions across the state. Take away autonomy The program committee then made recommendations to Ewald Nyquist, State Education Commissioner, supposedly based on the reports of these observers. Many people feel, however, that, the program committee went far beyond anything in the observers report. “The recommendation was not based on the January report which was favorable,” explained Dr. Clifton Yearley, chairman of the history department, “but was an attempt by the State Education Department to take local autonomy away from the universities. It’s a question of who controls doctoral education in the state.” Mr. Schamel also cirticized the committee’s report. He said that the members of the committee were mostly outside scholars in each area being evaluated, who could not be sympathetic to the internal pressures that this University’s teaching faculty are subjected to. Furthermore, he said there were not sufficient avenues for the University to answer the report’s criticisms. The requirements for what they considered qualified personnel were too inflexible, he explained, and “they were involved in an area most appropriately left to the universities.” Other procedures Both Mr. Schamel and McAllister Hull, Dean of the Graduate School, pointed out that this University has had its own evaluation procedure for the past five years, in which outside experts are brought in to review the doctoral programs. “The UB evaluation is a very strong, good procedure, which the State Education Department was trying to duplicate, but their system was not as good,” said Mr. Schamel. i President Robert Ketter announced at December’s Faculty Senate meeting that he had asked Commissioner Nyquist to reject the recommendations in “principle and in substance” because of the “highly singular rationale for their being made.” Dr. Ketter also raised the question of the legal power of the Board of Regents and the State Department of Education to disband University programs. “If you can dissolve doctoral programs, you can dissolve professional programs, and undergraduate programs without designing any criteria,” he said. Dr. Hull pointed out that the Education department has the authority to change programs but that the issue was how that authority was used. “The State Education Department didn’t assume any power it didn’t have under the law,” he said. The manner in which they were using their authority,” he indicated, “needed more concern.” “The State Education Department and this University trying to achieve the best both have the same goals graduate education possible for our students. We were just concerned that the commissioner was being recommended on a coarse that we considered irresponsible,” Dr. Hull - explained. Because of complaints by this University and several other institutions that went through the evaluation, certain changes are being considered, he went on. The state plans to institute mechanisms that will communication between the evaluation committee and University. Institutions of higher learning will henceforth “be requested for responses rather than perscribed what to do,” Dr. Hull explained. Another change he expects to see is a greater reliance on the evaluations of the State Education Doctoral Review Committee, which is composed of members of the University community, instead of depending on an ad hoc committee of outside scholars who may not clearly understand the intricies of the University. Mr. Schamel was also confident that future review procedures will rest more with the University, and expects a favorable decision sometime next week on the four improve history programs in question. t ~~ '"’T' ' S'\ A,- -r . v / «r Vr �*>/ / ky :, *1 f &L 4 j �• White Power • f r X • f » ’ Local protests arise over racist bookstore by David Haitkin Staff Writer Spectrum essential to negate the idea of a racist society.

Travel Power Inc. has from ten days to two weeks to pay Bob Burrick the difference between the agency’s promised discount air fare of $60 and the $73 Mr. Burrick paid for a seat on an American Airlines flight. Also included in the award were incidental expenses resulting from the cancellations, like telephone calls and cab fare. Mr. Burrick and Mike Malkin, another student suing the agency, also filed a complaint with the Consumer Frauds division of the Buffalo Attorney General’s Office, which is investigating the possibility of prosecuting Travel Power. A decision on Mr. Malkin’s suit is expected to be made this afternoon in Small Claims Court. Travel Power did not answer the charges made against it in court. The decision in Mr. Burrick’s favor, made through an arbitrator, was by default Its not too late for others to file, Mr. Burrick reported. The Small Claims Court is the logical outlet for all consumers who believe they were victimized by fraud, he added. Door in the face Mr. Burrick said that when he called on Travel Power campus representative Alan Rosenberg to collect his award, Mr. Rosenberg told Mr. Burrick to contact the agency’s New York office. The agency’s cancellation of two charter flights on the Thursday night before the long Thanksgiving weekend forced more than 150 students to find a last-minute way of getting home. Prior to the cancellation of the two flights, several students told an agency representative who had flown to Buffalo from New York that they were angered that Travel Power had already reneged on more than one agreement to fly students to New York City at lower prices and accused MOVIES ARE funded by Mandatory Student Act.

Rich Korman Ellicott Lack of vital equipment spurs letter of complaint A lack of vital operating equipment at the Ellicott Complex spurred Inter-Residence Council (IRC) President Leigh Weber to voice a complaint with the Office of Facilities Planning. In a letter to Facilities Planning Coordinator William Johnson, Mr. Weber urged immediate delivery of 64 pieces of office furniture, sound and projection equipment for the lecture hall and Drama Workshop, library tables, snowplows, and other the hope that it would apply pressure to the Bureau of the Budget for the allocation of the equipment.

If the victim is going to kick the attacker, she should kick with the heel, so as not to lose balance, and aim for his knees, shins, or instep. If preparing to physically resist, the victim should intend to hurt the attacker as best she can, and once he is distracted, to quickly flee.

Op. 44, No. 1 Five committees of the Western New York Peace Center presented their plans for maintaining world peace Saturday to Peace Center members and supporters at the Riverside Salem Church. Their suggestions included pressuring Congress to cut all funds going to the Chilean and South Vietnamese regimes and slash the military budget to free funds for badly needed social services. According to figures compiled by the Library of Congress Legislative Reference Service, 59 percent CHARLES ROSEN, pianist Thursday, Jan. 30 of the 1975 fiscal year budget is earmarked for the military. Nineteen percent of this money will be used to pay for past wars, although none has gone towards helping to rebuild the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam), which has suffered tremendous destruction from American bombing. performing Three Sonatas by Scarlatti: Meager social services in contrast, only 21 percent is “Don Juan Remin- veterans Beethoven's Oiabelli Variations and Liszt’s iscences.” Mary Setou Room Kleinhans — 8.30 P.M. earmarked for education and health, 6 percent of which is for benefits. Physical such as agriculture, resources, rural development, natural resources, transportation, and housing, has been allotted a relatively scant nine percent. Social Security and Retirement benefits are financed from separate funds specifically set aside for these purposes. According to SANE (A Citizens’ Organization for a Sane World), the average American family will spend $2200 in general taxes on military-related programs during fiscal Year 1975, based upon budget figures from the Library of Congress and population figures from the Bureau of the Census. Some observers feel that a large military budget is needed to offset large amounts of Soviet and Chinese aid to underdeveloped countries. At the same time, however, $186 will be spent on education and manpower, $96 for community development and housing, and $62 per cent for natural resources. With more than 40 American military commitments to other countries and 2000-plus bases and installations around the world, hard-working tax-payers are forced to finance undemocratic governments in other countries. Political prisoners Most recently, President Ford has asked for an increase in the amount of aid to the Thieu regime in South Vietnam. Peace organizations, like the Indochina Peace Campaign and Amnesty International estimate that 200,000 political prisoners are still held in jails and concentration camps in South Vietnam. Although the Paris Peace Agreements of 1973 call for all parties to refrain from imposing “any political tendency or personality on the people of South Vietnam,” the United States government continues to support one faction in that year in Indochina. Although Congress cut all military aid to Chile in December because of public outrage at reports of torture by the ruling junta, American tax dollars are still going to Chile under non-military agreements.

During the past few years, the mandatory fee has come under fire, mostly on political grounds. Many students seem visibly especially those in the Student Assembly annoyed that their money has been spent mostly at the discretion of a handful of student government officers who seem to have become increasingly isolated from student priorities. — — But what is immediately at stake in the upcoming referendum is not how to make student government more representative, but whether students feel that the mandatory flaws and all is essential for maintaining the current fee level ofactivities and services on this campus? — — Regardless of how one may think he has been forced to subsidize activities that he or she has no interest in, or voice in financing, mandatory fees are virtually the sole means of support for countless services that students have learned to take for granted. Health Care, intramural sports, movies, concerts, publications and legal aid are just a few of the things that could disappear in a second if the mandatory fee is voted down. This was originally conceived of as a bright witty column about what it is like to drive a small old Volkswagen in the days of more high powered and energetic vehicles. It may still turn out that way but it is hard to be quite as funny as I might have been if the damned thing had started this morning. I mean I understand that the battery, or the electrical system, or some thing, has not been functioning superbly and that it has usually required a slight boost from somebody else’s battery to get it started in the morning, but this morning it wouldn’t play at all. Turned over a lot if it got tickled with a shot from somebody else’s 12 volt this is a six volt system, is how old it is but it refused to start. Sputtered a couple of times but that’s it. Now then, I do not know how you feel about machinery that does not work, but it drives me bananas. At least sometimes. If I have my shit together and am not being freaky, then things are somewhat more calm. When I am feeling impinged . .. . . . on, surrounded and anxious about being dependent, and my car chooses that moment to decide to leave me at the tender mercies of other people, I get disturbed. When sufficiently disturbed I become somewhat wierd, lose my temper and generally carry on in a disgraceful fashion. Which I will acknowledge sometimes afterwards . . . how long afterwards being another wonderful question. So, when last seen the VW that was to be the star of this column was sitting in front of the garage door which was frozen last night hard enough that I decided not to chip it open and put the car away. Dumb, Eric, very very dumb. This is one of those times when it would be nice to believe that cars could feel, that said dumb car was freezing its tail lights off and would be only too happy to start when 1 next try the key. Would anyone like to give me a few odds about it doing so? No? Wise decision I am — — afraid. At first glance, a voluntary fee seems like a more attractive way of collecting student funds, since those who oppose a fee politically or in principle would not be forced to pay it. In particular, some of the University's more vocal minority students have argued that they should not be forced to pay $67 that is dispersed by a white Student Association and subsidizes white-oriented activities. While this is a valid argument, it is also true that there are many services health care, CAC, NYRIRG, and legal aid which clearly transcend ethnic interests, just as there are many services that mandatory fee opponents inadvertently use anyway. The everyday taxpayer certainly does not get back a 1:1 return for every tax — — tf(£)ar,'but he does derive oeitalirtienefits from plying them. Additionally, a voluntary fee would have little if any chance of Anyway, about what it is like to drive this ten year old Volkswagen . . when it is possible to drive it, that is. It slowly penetrates that there are a variety of adjustments one has to make to the machine. It will do sixty on a long downgrade so that one uses the right hand with a tailwind lane a lot and tries to not get caught by a bunch of passing freaks who are so busy going by you on the right that you can’t get out of the left lane even though you would very much like to. On the other hand it is very hard to get a speeding ticket on most of the open highways in the vicinity since the speed limit of 55 just about matches that of the car. Equally obvious in'terms of limited power is that it is very hard to accelerate by anyone. You pjpke along at pace most of the time, although second gear giW$ ypu a pretty nice burst if you get it revved 0p Well enough. And you pretty ... ... much have to give up trying to deal with the people who are into leaving tire marks at intersections as they turn the local street system into the Indy 500 somewhere in their heads. Unless of course you run across a twelve-year old VW at a traffic light, which may or may not be a vulnerable and venerable as yours. Then there is the problem of hills. This particular car is obviously much more into level places than it is into hills. More specifically, it seems to tolerate and even enjoy going down hills, but going up them is a completely different problem. Went across to Niagara on the Lake to watch the seagulls a while back. Winding down the gorge was fine, climbing back up to the bridge was a rather different experience. One which seems to force you to deal with time in a different way, as do many of the other occurances described above. (Watch it, here comes the philosophy!) You do not have a lot of choice about what to do with trying to hurry in this particular car. You can forget it or get an ulcer. It is more or less that simple. It maneuvers well enough . . . when it is so that you can try running to pick up a few seconds here I and there on cutting corners and sheer brilliant driving, but generally it doesn’t work. So ... ™ llllinw to accept the either you learn silly thing the way it is and you watch the trees some while sort of accelerating away ■ — by — Sleese from lights, and you generally learn to accept the fallibilities of machine and man somewhat more gracefully. There seem to be some limits as to how gracefully some of us can accept anything, so that there seems to be no sense in running the idea into a rut. One thing that disturbs me yet is a tendency on the part of some of my fellow motorists to confuse a ten year old VW with a motorcycle. This is evidenced by a notable tendency to put their large expensive car in the same space already occupied by your small cheap car. The only problem being that law of physics which insists that two bodies can’t occupy the same space at the same time. VW’s may move around pretty good, but this particular model does not have the capacity for going straight up. And then when you honk they look annoyed because you didn’t tell them that they shouldn’t have done what you didn’t know they were going to do until they did it, earlier. (It makes sense if you read it several times slowly I think). If the silly thing ever runs again 1 am considering putting a diesel air horn capable of removing paint from offending cars at a range of 200 yards. If. Excuse me while 1 go tinker.

If the mandatory fee is retained, SA should continue its attempts to open up the budget-disbursing process to greater numbers of students, as was done when itdistrubuted asurvey on intercollegiate athletics/at the end of last semester. Realistically speaking, however, the current structure of student government and widespread student apathy have not made things conducive for this kind of change, and it is possible that things will remain the same for some time. But despite these shortcomings, most students should realize that they are benefitting from mandatory fees every single day, whether they know it or not. What logical reason is there for turning off the tap now? The Spectrum An end to loneliness To the Editor paper for me. Maybe someone will see by situation as it really is, and take a few moments to write. I I hope you will forgive me for taking up your valuable time. 1 also hope you will think my cause is worthwhile. I have a very serious problem, a problem that is common to most men in correctional institutions, such as myself. Loneliness is something everyone has probably experienced sometime in their life. I have felt the pain of loneliness several times, but never until I was locked up did I know the real agony of loneliness. Every morning I open my eyes to something close to darkness. It is hard to explain the sadness and frustration that I am being exposed to, but believe me, it is indeed a very emotional up-ending state. I imagine by now you are dumb-founded as to why I am writing you this letter; therefore, I will explain. I’m hoping that you can place an ad in your believe corresponding with someone understanding, thoughtful, realistic, and sincere will be a big help to me. I am a 21 year old Black male seeking someone understanding, thoughtful, sincere, realistic, and receptive. I sincerely need and want someone to correspond with. I have no racial hang-ups or other such senseless faults that 1 am aware of. If you have any of the above qualities that seem to be absent in most people, than please write; Samuel Keener 133-128,Box 69, London, Ohio 43140. Thank you for your time and consideration.

It was like a dream! The basketball Bulls had won three in a row and were on T the verge of upsetting local power Canisius. But with 22 seconds remaining, Mel Montgomery scored a three point play for the Griffins and gav6 them a one point lead. Mike Jones’ jumper missed and despite Otis Home’s valiant struggle for the rebound,-Buffalo was unable to get off another shot and Canisius salvaged a 75—74 victory. The Bulls now stand at 4—9. “We proved that we belong,” said Buffalo coach Leo Richardson. “We convinced people. Our group of kids finally realized their own potential.” But the Bulls’ play was inconsistent. They gave a demonstration of sleepwalking in the first half and fell behind by 17 points. “We weren’t ready,” remarked Richardson. “We were too tight. I told them all we needed to do is play defense and run the offense. That’s what they did.” Bob Dickinson exploded hitting 9 for 9 in the second half (continuing the phenomenal shooting spree in which he has hit 32 of his last 48 shots). “Dicks” jumper from the left corner his favority shot put Buffalo ahead for the first time with 7:20 remaining..

The way they play, a halftime lead doesn’t mean anything. They had the momentum.” Buffalo was urged on by the frantic crowd and the ever-growing team spirit, but the Bulls were also fuming from being slighted in the game’s program. The Canisius roster was printed in large type and filled an enture page, while Buffalo’s, in small type, filled only half a page and was placed above pictures of the Buffalo State and Canisius women’s teams. The only picture of a Buffalo player was that of Gary Domzalski, and it appeared elsewhere in the program. “I threw the program away,” said Richardson. “I asked Gary if he wanted one because of the picture, and he told me ‘Put them in the waste basket.’ They treat us like second class citizens,” continued Richardson. “I’m used to that. But 1 want better for the kids.” Buffalo is a young team, and they figure to improve. “They (Canisius) saw that they’ve got one more year to beat us, if that,” concluded Richardson. — — While the Hockey Bulls coasted to two easy victories over Lake Forest this weekend, Buffalo's loyal fan Bill Rosenthal (pictured above) added insult to injury as he launched a spectacular verbal attack on the Forester bench. His seemingly endless stream of caustic remarks, which delighted some fans and disgusted others, brought on threats of bodily harm from some lake Forest players. Rosenthal, who attends nearly every home hockey contest, was eventually ejected by referee Paul Duffy and escorted from the rink by Cheektowaga police. Rosenthal was in rare form Saturday but he is more than outspoken at every contest.

They see sports as masculine, and therefore shun sports.” She said she used to think it wasn’t attractive to beat a man. But “fhrough readings and talking with other women. I’ve learned that you don’t have to throw a game to win a man,” O’Neill said. Unlike many amateur athletic programs, the women’s program at Buffalo cannot be criticized for a “winning is everything” attitude. “We like to win, but it’s not the most important thing. The benefits of being on a team are more important,” O’Neill . . . emphasized. These include getting to know your own body, to know that it’s strong, that you have control over it, and becoming comfortable with your own body.” O’Neill thinks that Title IX will force an official policy change. “There will be change, unless they find loopholes, but they’ll change begrudgingly,” she said. But she feels that sports still have a long way to go. “People’s attitudes towards sports and women with strong bodies will have to change,” O’Neill declared. “ Vie dnesday, 22 January 1975 .

Oswego. 1. 4. 17 and 18, vs. Lake Forest 2 — Grappler weekend tally: 3:1 by Lynn Everard Staff Writer The wrestling Bulls, ranked first in New York State, completed a successful weekend road trip, winning three of four matches. After whipping Oswego Friday night; 36-2, the Bulls traveled Saturday to College Park, Maryland where they defeated a tough Maryland squad, 21-15, trounced Massachusetts, 37-0, and suffered their first loss in eleven starts to Navy, 27-6. Navy consistently produces highly ranked teams and this year is no exception. Only Jim Young and Emad Faddoul beat the midshipmen. Young, still undefeated this year, summed up the team’s feelings after their first loss. “Our loss to Navy was a big disappointment for us. We worked very hard for that match. The University of Buffalo wrestlers have lost, but they have not lost their spirit and we will remain among the elite in the East,” he declared. Navy’s tough heavyweight Jeff Simons, received a forfeit against the Bulls. Coach Ed Michael explained why his heavyweight, Charlie Wright, didn’t wrestle. “The match was already out of reach. Charlie hurt his thumb against Oswego and the Maryland match was coming up. I didn’t want to risk him.” Spectrum Michael’s strategy proved to be correct. Maryland stayed close through the entire match. Coming down to the final match with the Bulls leading 18-15, Charlie Wright once more played the role of “Giant killer,;’ decisioning Maryland’s Bill Ellis who weighted in at 350 lbs. Ellis got the early takedown, but Wright escaped twice and won on riding time. The story of David and Goliath has been reenacted by Wright on four separate occasions this year. For the third time this season, Ron Parker faced a former national champion. Navy’s Dan Muthler eventually decisioned the improving Sophomore. If wrestling national champions makes one a better wrestler, Parker should soon be a great. Against Massachusetts, the Bulls got outstanding performances from A1 Nichols at 177 and 142 pounder Tom Lloyd-Jones. Nichols pinned Mass.’s Bob Spaulding just one second before the buzzer would have ended the period. In what looked like an even bout. Jones pinned A1 Elmont suddenly in the second period. The Oswego match was highlighted by pins from Mack Sams and Jim Young. Sams looked impressive with only two weeks of practice under his belt. to Binghamton to Next weekend Buffalo face the No. 2 team in the state. the bench Basketball Co-Captain Bob Dickinson, shown here, came off amazing 10 for 12. shooting an points, score 20 against Colgate to Against Army, the senior forward contributed eight consecutive points Army's to put the Bulls ahead, and later made a key steal to thwart comeback attempt in overtime.

The Committee had recommended that nine of the existing Colleges be chartered unconditionally for periods ranging from three to five years. The Committee had also requested that two of these Cora P. Maloney Colleges (formally College E) and Urban Studies be subject to a “limited review” after 18 months, and that charters be granted to Clifford Furnas College and Women’s Studies College for periods of three and five years, respectively, only if they fulfill certain - - requirements. Clifford Furnas must agree to participate in the Colleges Council, while Women’s Studies must abandon its policy of excluding men from both its governance and some of its courses and activities, and must clarify its use of the word “women” in its charter. Three-year terms Dr. Ketter did approve ten charters with various provisions, along with one unconditional charter to College B. He granted nine three-year charters and two for two years each, to Social Sciences College and Tolstoy College. Additionally, Dr. Ketter stipulated for nine of the charters that there be either partial or total review of the respective College programs after 18 months, and for Social Sciences and Tolstoy, after one year. In accordance with Chartering Committee recommendations, he ruled that Cora P. Maloney College and Urban Studies College be subject tb careful monitoring by the Dean of the Colleges, and that Progressive Education College be denied a charter altogether. In addition, Tolstoy College must make its charter a more “academic document” in order to be approved, Dr. Ketter ruled. The Women’s Sureties College charter was approved on the condition that it be revised to indicate whether “woman” and “women” are used as generic or exclusive terms, and that it expressly adopt the principles of academic freedom and equality of access to courses, demonstrate compliance with these provisions, and be reviewed formally for compliance after 18 months. Lacks leadership Indicative of the tone of Dr. Ketter’s report was his appraisal of Rachel Carson College, which he said “gives evidence of acceptable academic content. It has a clearly stated objective,' its community projects have been useful, and its longer term plans seem informed." However, the report went on “It lacks strength in its leadership with two program coordinators. It should seek more participation by faculty members in the sciences, and should stress the critical importance of basic science preparation of its students. Its organized to provide remedial and residential program is new and not supportive services to minority and non-traditional students at well established.” At the Committee open the University. At its open hearing hearing for the College, it was before the Chartering Committee, learned that one of the two the College leadership was asked if program coordinators, John it would make an effort to recruit Howell, would leave the students from all parts of the University at the end of the University and of all ethnic school year. The other program persuasions. “There’s no intention here to coordinator, Beverly Paigen, said a third world residential sponsor would herself to she not commit long term leadership because, program,” College Director Frank unless more funds were given to Brown assured the hearing. Dr. Ketter expressed concern the Colleges, “no faculty member that Social Sciences, Tolstoy, and wants to join what might be a Women’s Studies College take sinking ship.” About Cora P. Maloney special pains to ensure that the College, Dr. Ketter said in part, “I academic freedom “to which this remain concerned about the risk University is committed” be of de facto segregation of the preserved. He voiced a “profound College’s students in the residence halls. This aspect of the proposed personal concern’’ that program must be monitored “educational units committed to the exposition of a given carefully.” —continued on page 14— Cora P. Maloney College was ‘Childhood Center’ Day Care stays open with academic funds by Don Eisenmann Contributing Editor After four , months of protests and negotiations, the Day Care Center has secured funds to remain open for the entire semester.

Day Care officials called a press conference on January 9 at 11 a.m. But when they went to the Center that morning they discovered that locks had been changed overnight and they were not allowed inside. That same morning, Dr. Ketter called a press conference for 10:30 a.m. He had planned to have a press conference later that day, “but when we found out they were having one at 11 we decided to have one at 10:30 for the convenience of the press,” Dr. Ketter told the Buffalo Evening News. He said the locks were changed “on my explicit direction after an impasse was reached in negotiations on the Day Care issue.” Day Care officials subsequently Commenting on the. fact that only three of the original staff have been asked to stay on. Ms. Paskoff said, “At a time of high unemployment they laid off people and hired people with no seniority.

This makes Young the first Buffalo athlete to be drafted by professional sports since Joe Piscotty was taken by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1973.

Suburban commuters can drive to these designated locations where parking spaces will be more readily available, and catch the bus to campus. The Commuter Council hopes to tie in its efforts with those of commuter organizations at Buffalo State and other local colleges. ,lf fares are reduced for riders to this University, it is hoped, they will eventually also be reduced to those o-ther campuses as well. by Jenny Cheng Contributing Editor The Mass Transit sub-group of the University’s Commuter Council is negotiating with the Niagara Frontier Transit Authority (NFTA) to establish a special student rate that would reduce the one way bus fare from 40 cents to 25 cents. The NFTA, which has been losing riders since last June, has responded enthusiastically to the student proposal, which users would implement by presenting their student identification as they boarded buses. Before any program can be finalized, however, there will be a demonstration period during which the NFTA will permit students to ride the buses at the reduced fare, to determine the impact of the change. If bus ridership increases sufficiently, the NFTA will then adopt the reduced rate permanently. More coordination The Commuter Council is having difficulties in coordinating such efforts, though, and still seeks support from faculty and graduate students. The Committee is presently compiling statistics to present to the NFTA, estimating the number of students interested in the reduced fare, and charting the locations of their homes, the Suburban commuter routes they would use, and the reduced fare will “The schedule that would be the hopefully attract suburban time most useful to them. commuters who now go to and from campus by car, and encourage them to ride the PSYCHOMAT funded by buses,” explained Pat Lovejoy of Mandatory Student Activity the Commuter Council.” This will Fees, vote to retain this fee Feb. not only help clear up the parking 5,6,7. problem, but will also ease the traffic situation.” Set price Although a student who sells a used book is permitted to set the price, the average rate is 50 percent of the original selling price, Mr. Lalonde explained. The seller simply leaves the book at the Exchange and wails for a sale. A list of each book’s original selling price is posted. To cover operating costs, the Book Exchange the seller receives a five percent commisr the percent a five fee from and ks he needs If a student is unable to fim ones and at the Exchange, “he should check back at the Book Exchange regularly,” Mr. HESSES GEOGRAPHY DEPARTMENT Better values The Bookstore in Norton Hall normall) purchases used books from students for a quarter o their original selling price, and then resells thesf books at three-fourths of their original value Although the Bookstore offers immediate cash foi used books, Mr. Lalonde feels a student will usually do much better at the Book Exchange.

Monday, 20 January 1975 & Sat �Ma Bell fighting rip-offs with increases in monitor in by Neil Klotz Special to The Spectrum A host of campus phone phreaks with fake credit card numbers and electronic gadgets has provoked a full-scale counter-insurgency program by phone company officials. Across the country. Bell system affiliates have launched ad campaigns, speaking tours and media blitzes with the common message: “If you cheat Bell, you’ll be caught.” “Ninety percent of our fraud begins on campus,” claimed a security supervisory for the Chesapeake and Potomac (C&P) Telephone Co. in West Virginia Who has been visiting schools around the state to warn of toll fraud penalties. At West Virginia University in Morgantown alone, he said, 75 disputed calls are under investigation. Meanwhile, across the country, a Mountain Bell representative was announcing that 15 New Mexico State University students had been implicated in fraudulently charging more than $6,000 in long distance calls. Mountain Bell convinced the offenders to pay up instead of prosecuting because “people might say we’re picking on college students.” But at Washington University in St. Louis, students decided to investigate Southwestern Bell’s investigator. They found that the phone agent was monitoring long distance calls from private phones in an effort to catch phony credit card users. When Confronted, the agent refused to say if he was randomly monitoring all calls or using other kinds of taps because it would give violators “more fuel.” “If they [students] have done nothing wrong, they have nothing to fear,” said the agent. “But if they are doing something wrong, they had better be scared. You never know how much we know.” Fewer losses The crash anti-fraud program has had some effect. According to the AT&T national office, the dollar loss from phony credit card calls the most common type of fraud has dropped from S28.3 million in 1973. The company had no idea how much was being lost through electronic devices which simulate operators’ signals. Most of Bell's anti-phreak publicity emphasized (1) the harsh penalties for toll fraud and (2) mysterious, sophisticated electronic gadgets and computers that make it virtual suicide tp cheat the phone company. No one has disputed the first contention. The federal “fraud by wire” act (18 US 1343) stipulates violators may be fined as much as SI ,000 and jailed up to five years. In addition, individual state laws deal with toll fraud in varying degrees of severity. Fdr instance, in Wyoming a phone phreak can be fined as much as SI00 and jailed for 60 days, but in Pennsylvania the same offense could land him in prijon for seven — - years with a fine of $ 15,000 Fifteen states have also made it illegal to publish information on how to rip off the phone company, a law not yet tested against the First Amendment in federal court. The Bell system itself may legally use almost any method to catch defrauders. Federal law does, however, restrict random monitoring of calls to "mechanical or service quality checks." Despite this. AT&T affiliates do secretly monitor about 3.5 million private phone calls a year, according to the Wall Street Journal. On the pretext of checking operator efficiency, said the Journal the world’s richest corporation can actually listen in on any calls it wants to. calls when there is already reason to believe fraud is being committed, he said, but he declined to say how it otherwise gathered information about defrauders. “That would be giving you the key to the safe,” he said. Some of the “keys” were discovered by Joe “the Whistler” Engressia, who was hired by an independent phone company in Tennessee after his college days. He found the atmosphere “oppressive,” however, and now works as phone supervisor for a correspondence school. Joe provided the following rundown of the latest toll fraud detection and prevention schemes: Against phony credit cards: Previous phone credit card codes have been very simple. Almost before the code was released each year one operator or another leaked it to the underground press. So Bell’s only defense was to require operators to ask credit card users a few simple questions about their “firm” and hope that would scare them off. Either this year or next Bell plans to introduce a complex code that only a computer could decipher. The operators would have to clear each credit card call with the main computer before letting it go through. Against “blue boxes”: Blue box users must dial a toll free number with an 800- area code or long distance information (area code) 555-1212, before boxing a 2600 cycles per second tone. This allows them to then bleep out any long distance number they want. Computers in many telephone billing offices now call attention to excessively long 800- or long distance info calls. Next Bell puts a filter on a suspected blue boxer’s line that records every time a 2600 Hz. tone occurs on the line. Against “red boxes": Red boxes duplicate the electronic sounds coins dropped in a pay phones produce. Bell has begun training operators to listen for fake tones. In addition, when an operator tries to manually collect or return coins, a light will show if they’re present. Red box users are usually caught when they have a “favorite” phone booth. Against “black boxes”: Black boxes, also known as “mutes,” lower the electrical resistance on a phone line to a point where phone company billing equipment isn't triggered when one receives a long distance call. Mqst Bell central offices with an Electronic Switching System (ESS) can detect voice currents on a line that is not billing and cut off an incoming call to one’s line if the computers don’t show he answered. If that happens often, they check the phone. Against loose lips: Big mouths have been the death of most phone phreaks. And when one is busted, phone agents will often capture his notebook containing the numbers of other phreaks. “I avoided detection for so long because I kept everything in my head,” Joe recalled. Joe said he hasn’t done any phreaking for four years, partially because he never really wanted to injure thy phone company. “1 was only doing it to learn enough to j;et a Bell system job when I graduated,” he said. “But by the time I did Bell considered me a security risk.” , No clues Not security company claims an AT&T spokesman.

Mr. Grigge estimated national budget of many African states combined, pointed out writer Felix Greene. Kwama Nkrumah, former President of Ghana, wrote in Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism that at least 18 African countries, including Chad, Ethiopia, Mali and Niger had an average annual income of less than $80 dollars in the early I960’s, which was prior to the current drought and famine. While the situation appears nearly hopeless, there are indications that solutions are possible. Scientists working in conjunction with the United Nations Environmental Program suggest that nature is not wholly responsible for this catastrophy. They claim that with proper irrigation and well digging, life could be sustained. Yet with such low national incomes, lew of these countries could pay for the needed construction. , Exploitation by foreigners Mr. Nkrumah maintained that the poverty ol the African nations is not a result of poor natural conditions, but is due largely to economic exploitation by private industrialized nations In Science in Our Lives.

Because of the destruction of people, land, and livestock, hundreds of thousands have tied to the cities in search of relief, Mr. Griggs recounted the grim and almost unbelievable acts of food-hunting by these desparate people: “They tear down giant hills to get at grains of rice the ants have hidden away, then eat the ants as well. Others in parts of Chad ravenously devour bark off trees, wolf down leaves and dig desparately at roots." Sickness is rampant Thousands are so weakened by malnutrition, and- ravaging diseases, that simple colds kill many people in the area of the world where life expectancy averages less than 40 years.

When this was revealed, the French, who held the area under colonial rule, chose this district to explode their atomic bombs. While Sangaule Lamizana, nter national Wildlife President of Upper Volta said “this [the drought) is_ the continent’s greatest catastrophe of the century,” the Eord Administration and mass-n/ledia have almost completely ignored the situation. Some critics of the present administration charge that the lack of action in this situation is an example of institutionalized racism, since this catastrophe has struck black people exclusively. There have been some relief efforts by community organizations, though they have not received much publicity. The West Africa Emergency Relief, of the Community of Churches of America, is collecting money for emergency aid. Water for West Africa Relief, of World Mercy, Inc. is collecting money to dig wells and construct water pipelines. 1971 rally Protestors receive damages Twelve million dollars in damages was awarded to the American Civil Liberties Union Thursday by a District of Columbia jury for what it said was the false arrest and infringement of rights of 1,200 antiwar demonstrators on the steps of the Capitol in 1971. The suit in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia resulted in what was thought to be the largest award ever in a civil liberties suit. An appeal is expected. As a result of the verdict, each of the demonstrators mostly college students at the time is entitled to an average award of at least $10,000. The amount varies depending on th« length of — — confinement. The suit originated from a police action May 5, 1971, when police moved in and arrested 1,200 antiwar protestors who refused to move along as requested. About 3000 protestors had been invited to the capitol by Democratic Representatives Ronald V. Dellums of California and Bella Abzug of New Yorkk. Right on The judgement entitles each of the complainants to $7,500 for violation of First Amendment rights, $500 for treatment labeled “cruel and unusual punishment” violating the Eighth Amendment, $50 each for malicious prosecution, and a refund of $10 collateral at the time. The government gave the ACLU the names and addresses of those arrested, which are being kept under lock and key. The union must now find those who were arrested.

Miller Staff Writer Spectrum An early morning fire Jan. 4 destroyed most of the interior of the new Chabad House at 185 Maple Rd., Amherst, marring the first alumni reunion, scheduled for that weekend. All the occupants of the house, most of whom are married couples and their young children, escaped without injury. The building had just opened last fall. The fire began in the kitchen about 4 a.m., police said. Although food had been left on the stove, the fire marshal ruled this was not the cause of the blaze. An investigation is underway to determine the cause. Curiously, the food remained intact, but much of the massive industrial kitchen equipment melted. Rabbi Nosan Gurary, Chabad administrator, estimated the damage to the interior at more than S30,000. Included in this figure are many new home furnishings, silverware and goblets, and paper goods in storage. Up in smoke A number of religious articles were also lost, including daily prayer books, prayer shawls, philacteries, and library materials from the Main St. house, which had been collected over a four-year period and brought to the building for the reunion. were The Torahs sacred religious scrolls - - rescued from the fire by Rabbi Gurary’s father, however. Exterior damage is estimated at $69,000, and insurance will cover only part of this total. It will cover none of the damage to the interior, according to Arthur Burke, a member of “Friends of Chabad.” It is not yet known whether the building will be repaired or rebuilt. The bricks remain, and a future appraisal will determine if it is safe to rebuild on the same site. Reunion ended The fire interrupted the first reunion of faculty and students of Chabad during its four-year existence here. People had come from all over the country, and it was a “terrible thing for them to see everything go up in smoke.” said Mark Epstein, a reunion participant. Some personal possessions, like items received as wedding gifts, are irreplaceable, he added. The Red Cross has provided clothing vouchers and food to Chabad occupants to ease their immediate needs. “Classes, rap sessions, and services will go on as before, if not stronger,” Rabbi Gurary stressed. Services for the Amherst Campus will be held in Fargo 204 L, a lounge. Meanwhile, funds are being sought to rebuild and refurnish the new Chabad House. Donations can be sent to 3292 Main St. Checks may be made out to the “Rebuilding Chabad Fund.” The American Council on Education has revealed in its survey of this year’s college freshman a marked trend ot conservatism involving such issues as the legalization ol marijuana and equal employment opportunity for women. The report also cites a 15 percent decline in the enrollment of black students since the peak figure in 1972. The Council, which based its report on the responses of 190,000 freshman at 364 colleges and universities, found that 46.7 percent of the freshman advocated the legalization of marijuana, down from 48.2 in 1973. Alexander W, Astin, the survey’s director, called this response startling since it reverses a six-year trend. Political viewpoints have apparently shifted, according to the report. Those who label themselves “liberal” have dropped from 32.6 to 28 percent from last year while students who classify themselves as “middle-of-theroaders" rose from 50.7 to 55.1 percent, the highest in the history of the nine-year survey. “Conservative” students remained at 13.9 percent. Dr. Astin was surprised at the “changes of political attitudes,” and said the view on marijuana posed “a clear reversal of a very sharp trend.” Other changes College freshman have slightly hardened in their attitudes towards equal employment for women. 91.5 percent favored equal employment compared to 91.9 percent ip 1973. The number of reshman who feel women should be confined to home registered its smallest drop in three years. 29.8 percent agreed with this condition, a .6 percent difference from the 1973 figure of 30.4 percent. Other trends included a decline in the number of students advocating consumer rights (from 78 to 75.1 percent), attenempts to curb pollution (from 88,1 to 82.6 percent) while those who believed there are too many rights for criminals jumped from 50.1 to 51.5 percent. The only so-called “liberal" trend noticed was an increase of students favoring open admission up five percent from 1973. - Explaining the declining black enrollment, Dr. Astin observed that "the vigorous effort to recruit black students which resulted in the increases observed during the late 1960’s and early 1970’s have simply not been sustained during the past few years.” The report showed a decline of 8.7 percent in 1972 and 7.4 percent in 1974. There are presently 124,000 blacks enrolled in colleges today, said Dr. Astin. This year’s freshman has also changed in regard to career attitudes. Interest in the legal and medical professions has dropped slightly while the humanities, English, mathematics, history and political science continue to decline in popularity. A scant 7.7 percent reported they were interested in teaching, down from a high of 21.7 percent in 1966. Still popular are majors in nursing, business, farming and applied biological sciences. One "first” in the survey showed a decline in the number of students who felt that finances were of “major concern” to them and an increase in those who said “no concern.” One reason for this trend could be attributed to the enactment of Federal Basic Educational Opportunity Grants, which were received by one quarter of the 1974 freshman class.

(CPS) Kanawha County is VA. notorious in certain circles these days as the place where books are burned, buses bombed and coal mines shut down in the name of The Bible and The Flag. These outbursts were triggered by the school baord’s adoption of about 300 English books for the 45,000 students in county schools. On one side of the confrontation, a majority of county residents believe there is something valid in the remarks of Mrs. Alice Moore, a conservative school baord member who feels all of the books contain some selections that are “vulgar, profane, violent, critical of - — parents, depressing, seditious, revolutionary. anti-Christian and immoral.” On the other side, the professional educators and the liberal segment of the local middle class believe in the prerogatives of professionals, especially in education. They also fear the style and impulsiveness of the protesters whom they see as distinctly inferior to themselves. The issues raised by the textbooks are not simple ones. Liberal advocates of community-controlled education feel betrayed by what they see as a reactionary twist given their sound principle. Conservatives, for their part, were stunned by the militant tactics of the protesting parents who closed mine after mine, in �ICO COLLEG county after county during September and part of October. Violate beliefs The protesters, who are primarily ordinary, hard-working, level-headed parents, feel the values portrayed in the books violate their belief in the sanctity of the home and family, the existence of God and patriotism. They argue that authors such as Eldridge Cleaver,' Allen Ginsberg, Gwendolyn Brooks, e.e. cummings, Germaine Greer and Sigmund Freud represent an alien and threatening system of values. Their perceptions are accurate in many ways. The new language arts series were chosen in accord with a 1970 state board of education CORRECTIONS OF REPORTER ERRORS VIC 353 (Also ENG 353) ORIG.

About a dozen schools were set up in churches and community centers, but the long-run survival of this system is doubtful. There has even been some political talk about the eastern end of the county where the protest sentiment runs deepest seceding from the “imperious rule of the Charleston establishment.” — — Second Scopes trial The sense of exclusion and mistreatment felt by the protesters when they read through their children’s books was heightened when they watched nightly network television broadcasts and read the daily coverage in the local media. The national media saw the protest as a second Scopes trial, complete with “women in hair rollers and men in bib overalls” who have “old wringer washers on the front porch and drive battered pickup trucks.” They portrayed the protesters as half-literate mutants of the Angles and the Saxons, able to read the Bible but stumped by two syllable traffic signs. This image of the protesters is as inaccurate as the stereotypes of lazy blacks, dumb Poles, greasy Mexicans, effete WASPS and domesticated women. Appalachian people, however, have failed to use the pressure politics with which other minorities have policed the media. The anti-book protest is now going the same route traveled by black community-control groups and free-school whites who pieced together parallel school systems in the late 1960’s. Attention will undoubtedly turn to the public school system once again this spring when new Kanawha social studies texts are up for adoption. “If you think this was something,” one county school administrator said, referring to the language arts books, “wait until we get into social studies. That will be a humdinger.” If nothing is learned from the last four months, he will, of course, be right. Undergraduate Research Grants are available for the spring semester.

This idea could become a reality if the Schussmeisters Ski Club completes its plans to build a ski lodge for its members on a parcel of densely wooded land it purchased in Vermont.

On January 23, Mr. McKee is planning a gathering at Uncle Sam’s, a local bar, where slides of the Vermont site will be shown. “This is something I would like to get all members thinking about," he remarked. “In the past, their skills and ideas have been extremely helpful.

Educational units committed to the exposition of a given philosophy, and the analysis of subject matter and issues from the vantage point of that philosophy, must be particularly sensitive to matters of academic freedom. . . "By their very nature, such units have a special responsibility to ensure that faculty are chosen on the basis of competence, rather than because of philosophical kinship alone; that classes are open to students of all viewpoints, that the free play of intellectual criticism is ensured and encouraged in the classroom and in the governance process. I HAVE MY BOYS LOOKING INTO YOUK CASE Outside Looking In " —University President Robert Ketter, in his report on the Chartering of the Colleges By expressing the above "profound personal concern" for three of the Colleges he approved Social Sciences, Tolstoy and Women's Studies Dr. Ketter has ignored the fact that the Colleges were origially conceived to further academic freedom at an institution that offered few if any alternatives to traditional education. The absence of conspicuous labels like "marxist" or "feminist" from the programs in many departments does not make them any less "committed to the exposition of a given philosophy," or any more "sensitive to matters of academic freedom." In fact, it was the University-at-large's particular insensitivity to academic freedom that created an atmosphere in which Colleges could serve a valuable function. — — .

Less than one year ago, former Academic vice-president Bernard Gelbaum decided not to renew the contract of Philosophy professor James Lawler an avowed Marxist and a member of the Faculty 45 arrested during the 1970 student demonstrations. This occurred despite the official endorsements of the Philosophy Department and Faculty of Social Sciences, and strong recommendations of students. Only a massive letter-writing campaign and expressions of outrage from different segments of the University saved Dr. Lawler. Is this what is meant by a "special responsibility to ensure that faculty are chosen on the basis of competence, rather than philosophical kinship alone"? — Were the interests of academic freedom served when the administration "terminated'' the contract of Jonathan Ketchum, an instructor in College B who was putting into practice the "free play of intellectual criticism" that Dr. Ketter has placed a high priority on? Or when a former high-level administrator appointed himself acting director of the Colleges when it was well known that his narrow educational philosophy was repugnant to everything the Colleges stand for? Is academic freedom being promoted when a broad-based. University-wide committee is mandated by the Faculty of this University to review the Colleges, only to make recommendations that are significantly altered by the University's top administrator? While Dr. Ketter has stated that the responsibilities for academic freedom "are of course incumbent upon all academic units," the fact remains that the rest of the has never been subjected University unlike the Colleges to a stringent test for such freedom. Prior to the passage of the Reichert Prospectus, the Colleges were making every attempt to explore different viewpoints, to counterbalance a University structure that was one-sided and therefore neglectful of academic freedom.

We choose to lecture together and equally in order to make the point that race and sex discrimination must be fought together, and to speak to all women, not just some.

First, the coverage on Jane’s and my discussion of the issue of women only in Women’s Studies courses was not complete.

Brigid Shea ��TRB Constitutional concept of Congressional equality we find Congress relegated to second place. Nixon carried his contempt of Congress beyond anybody else and so we see a reaction taking place. Some think that with Nixon gone' Congress will permanently reassert itself. Sorry I must dissent. Congressional government has never worked well. We have tried it once or twice, particularly after wars, and impatient people have clamored very soon for a “strong” president. If we had developed a parliamentary system (as we almost did several times) we would have collectivized leadership in Congress with strong party control, and at the White House an amiable ceremonial president would be ready to snip ribbons, throw out the first ball at World Series, ski in Colorado and symbolize national unity. Instead, we got what chief Watergate prosecutor James Neal calls a “drift over the years to an quite all-powerful president.” all-powerful; responsibility is still diffused. Nobody in Washington has final responsibility for the budget, nobody has final responsibility for anti-recession action and, in Congress itself, the two houses squabble among themselves, blocking reforms that might aid the poor or tax the big oil companies. Tax reform passed one house and failed in the other; welfare reform died in the Senate after the House passed it twice; even the antique Electoral College, which the House sentenced to death in 1969, is still around: the Senate wouldn’t act. Make no mistake, our system works (to the awe of foreigners), and works pretty well in normal times. Only there aren’t normal times any more; crisis is chronic; I have never, 1 think, seen greater anxiety and dread over the immediate future than there is in Washington at present. Domestic and global forces push reluctant Mr. Ford to action. Some think that this will all pass soon and that we shall gel back to “normal.” Sorry, I must dissent. Questions still arise. Why did we elect Nixon in the first place? He was called “Tricky Dick;” in Congress he exploited the Red Menace; he had a slush fund when he ran with Ike; when he ran for governor in California, a judge exposed his organizers’ dirty tricks. In part, Nixon won in 1972 because 45 percent of the eligible voters didn’t vote. His “landslide” was about one-quarter of the potential electorate. If it is argued that Nixon won because he had weak competition, that only shifts the issue: why is the U.S. electoral process so unsuccessful that it fails to stir 80 million potential “It's A Pleasure To Recognize A Fellow Idealist" T from finance reform law, which should be a help, and it may be broadened as lime goes on. But the phief hope seems to be that Watejrgate was so extraordinary that U won’t be repeated. It never happened before, did it? and look at thb honorable man in the White House now . . . '1 don’t find much comfort in tfie fact that Mr. Ford isn’t the Aype who goes in for dirty tricks in dm amiably incompetent administration. Two forces still push toward executive aggrandizement: the fact that separation of powers no longer works very well, and the fact that accelerating world events increasingly demand prompt action of the kind that the White House alone can provide. Our form of government is a lot different from what the Fathers expected it would be 200 years ago. And it is doubtful whether even the original pattern of the Founders would have worked very well if it had been followed. As to the first proposition, when George Washington went to deliver his initial State of the Union message in New York, Jan. 8, 1 790 he was proceeded and followed by regal outriders in his fine coach-and-six, and his concept of his semi-monarchical role was to give information and make recommendations to Congress and let the buck stop there. The primary responsibility for law-making, he thought, was on Congress. Coordinate branches of government would watch each other and perhaps stalemate each other. Delay? so what! It took 4-1 2 days to ride from Virginia to Philadelphia, and more to New York. Things could wait. Now we travel by jet and instead of the Washington January 20, 1975 Many commentators see tire Watergate guilty verdicts as a vindication of the American system. Here is the prestigious New York Times gloating editorially: “Once more in the long march of American history it has been demonstrated that this is indeed, with all its faults, a nation governed by laws and that no man, irrespective of rank, can with impunity violate the country’s basic sense of legality and decency.” A comforting sentiment, indeed echoed across the nation as the ultimate moral of Watergate as we close the tragic story. Sorry, I must dissent. Certainly Nixon was forced to resign, but was he found guilty by any court? Was Spiro Agnew, for that matter? The existence of the mysterious and mystical Imperial Presidency was never more conspicuous than when the Watergate jury filed in and rendered its solemn verdict with one name omitted. Watergate, it seems to me, shows how far our loose system can be distorted, and how easy it is for someone in the White House, surrounded by patriotic symbols, sleeping in the Lincoln bed, attacked by spiteful newsmen, to rouse the emotional support of the reverent and the innocent. “I trust my President” said one button, even as Nemesis approached. What Nixon left was a blueprint for how it can be done. And not many safeguards have been written, really, to prevent another Watergate.

Within the article en.i.led “Med School Dean Appointed,” appearing in the last- issue of The Spectrum, the writer made multiple allusions concerning the “decline of the school’s national reputation,” the school’s “devalued national image,” and assorted other vagueries aimed, no doubt, toward diminishing the severity of what the writer has termed a “general feeling of low morals within the medical school." While it is possible that the vacancy of the dean’s post for such an extended period presented a source of administrative problems and some degree of interdepartmental I am wondering disharmony, whether this writer has conducted a study showing an increased incidence of morbidity amongst patients of recently graduated UB Med School physicians, as compared with patients of physicians graduated from “reputable” medical schools. I submit that without this type of supportive data, the writer's premature diagnosis concerning the “declining” state of affairs at UB Med School appears to yield little more than a biopsy which many of us involved would consider BENIGN.

Asked this same question, Dr. Kctter responded, “Anyone can make any review as disruptive as they like.” He indicated that he set the three-year limit on charter duration because the Reichert Prospectus for the Colleges, which called for the reexamination of the Colleges in the form of a chartering process, would be reviewed itself by the Faculty Senate in 1978.

Other letters and protests from College instructors, many of them University faculty members, were directed at Dr. Ketter’s remarks.

Earlier court decisions in several other states, including New York, Ohio and Virginia, have already ruled that utility companies cannot terminate service without first following a that in some cases includes a review by state procedure regulatory agencies.

Douglas termed the majority decision “a great retreat from the exercise of Federal jurisdiction (over utilities] which the Congress has conferred on Federal courts.” standards for utility companies in Bronson vs. Consolidated Edison, a case involving an elderly widow Three Marshall called the ruling “a decisions granting major step in repudiating” a series of past constitutional protection to dealing with persons state-sanctioned and regulated monopolies. The Supreme Court case involved Catherine Jackson of York, Pa. and her dispute with for example, had set who was threatened with termination of services by Con Ed, the nation’s largest electric company. According to Michael D. Hampden, a legal aid lawyer who represented Bronson, she lived on a fixed income of social security and welfare payments. When she moved into a new apartment she began to receive extraordinarily high electric bills. She paid a smaller amount, based on what seemed reasonable from past experiences. Con Ed sent her several delinquency notices then cut of her services. The woman obtained an emergency welfare check to pay the bill but Con Ed lost the check and again terminated services Throughout this period Bronson was without power for a month and a half. Finally, a Con Ed employee found that someone had been tapping her meter and stealing power from her circuit. Legal aid used the case to file a class action suit. The courts ruled in Bronson's favor and ordered Con Fid to follow a uniform procedure for termination of services that would be supervised by the New York Public Services Commission Monopolistic practice In their decision, the New York court explained that because monopolistic public utility have been granted powers of a government nature not normally conferred on private companies corporations, they must provide due process to customers under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. The New York case decided that the next time Con Ld wants to cut off service to a residential customer it must give ten days notice, and specify that the customer has the right to an informal conference with company representatives during that time. The customer must then be informed o f the additional right to another ten days to seek a hearing before the Public Service Commission. Lawyer Hampden said those new rules provide “some kind of buffer against arbitrary action.” If the Public Service Commission rules against the customer, there is recourse through the courts. During this time, according to the Bronson decision, Con Ld can’t turn off the power. Monday, 20 January 1975 . The Spectrum .

Night students Economics and enrollment How to challenge utility companies Two New York public interest groups today'released a utility complaint handbook advising consumers on how to challenge a gas or electric bill. Produced jointly by the New York Consumer Assembly and the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), the handbook outlines specific steps individuals can take to protect themselves against unwarranted shut-offs, billing errors, and other utility actions. According to Stephen Atlas, a NYPJRG staff member and co-author of the handbook (with Adrian Pope of the Consumer Assembly): “In theory, New Yorkers are protected by a number of very explicit-rules and regulations governing utility practice. In fact, neither the utilities nor the Public Service Commission makes more than a nominal effort to advise consumers of these protections. As a result, people regularly pay gas and electric bills that they know or believe to be incorrect, rather than risk having their service shut off. Our handbook is designed to alert these individuals to their rights under the law.” Mr. Atlas described a recent Supreme Court decision as a “serious setback for consumers,” but added that the decision is not expected to affect New Yorkers directly. “The ruling in effect saves utilities can shut off your service whenever and however they please," he said, “but most companies probably still remember that an elderly couple in Schenectady froze to death last winter when Niagara Mohawk turned off their electricity, and few will want to risk a repeat performance.” The complaint handbook, entitled “How to Challenge a Gas or Electric Bill,” includes an introduction by Dan Greenberg and is available at a cost of fifty cents per copy from NYPIRG at 5 Beekman Street, New York. New York, 10038 The Consumer Assembly is- a federation of New York State consumer groups, cooperatives, and trade unions, joined together to promote the interests of consumers through lobbying and consumer education programs.

Staffers there who have counseled adults on career guidance say an increasing number of them are hesitant about going after a college diploma with what they see as an oversupply of college graduates in a tight Buffalo area job market. ( NYPIRG The current economic crunch appears to be having mixed effects on the University's evening courses for adults. Officials in the Division of Continuing Education are interpreting fluctuations in fall enrollment figures as an indication that inflation may be discouraging some adults from deciding to take college credit courses, but encouraging registration for credit-free “self-improvement courses.” They also suspect current inflation is having a greater impact on working adult students than on younger full-time students hwo have access to more financial aid programs. While enrollment is up 2.6 percent overall at the University, it is down in Millard Fillmore College (MFC), the part of the Division of Continuing Education that offers evening credit courses to a clientele made up primarily of adult students working toward diplomas on a part-time basis. “It’s sheer economics,” says John H. Shellum, Assistant to the Dean of Continuing Education, speaking of MFC’S enrollment figure of 4,352 students, a seven percent decline from the spring semester. Dr. Shellum attributed the drop-off to family budget-cutting and the scarcity of financial aid for 6 pm 7 pm - Wednesday 9 am 6 pm.

When hundreds of supporters marched to Dr. Ketter’s office in December with petitions, he was forced to hold a meeting with Vice President Albert Somit, Dr. Spitzberg, Dr. Ketter’s lawyer, and a SUNY lawyer, she explained. Another meeting was called for Christmas Eve, which Merton Ertell, acting vice president for Academic Affairs, also attended, along with lawyers for WSC and four WSC representatives. It was at this meeting that the following three points were added to the charter approval: “to remove any ambiguity; The exclusion of men from a “Women’s Studies College course” will be justified only when such exclusion is cearly and directly related to the educational objective of the course and necessary to the achievement of those objectives; Courses in which enrollment is — - —continued from page 3— limited to women should constitute only a small proportion of the total courses .offered by Women’s Studies College; and Challenges or questions with regard to such exclusion will be heard via established academic channels and procedures.” Before WSC can make plans for any further action against these three points of contention, the governing board must decide whether it agrees if any action should be taken at all. - Clarification Since there was some ambiguity surrounding the meaning of “academic channels and procedures regarding the unit to determine the exclusivity,” Dr. Spitzberg clarified the procedure for a new WSC course. “The course would have to go through the same channel as any other course that puts restrictions on admissions,” he said. It would first be evaluated by the College Curriculum Committee, the dean of the colleges, the Division of Undergraduate Education, and finally by the Academic Affairs vice president. The subsequent decision could be appealed at each level, if anyone in the university contested it, he explained. This procedure will be effective for all controversial courses beginning in September of this year. Three courses in the college will be allowed to continue the existing exclusionary policy for the duration of the semester. More review Regarding the 18-month review, Dr. Spitzberg explained that the Reichert Prospectus did not provide the kind of review that the President was concerned with specifically, to make certain that WSC meets the conditions recently set. - “The president is. also seeking another opportunity [for review) with more leisure since the Reichert Prospectus does not provide enough review,” he added. Additionally, Dr. Spitzberg said that WSC collective governance, which does npt fall under the committee’s requirements that chief administrative officers be chosen from faculty staff, has been provisionally accepted, according to Dr. Spitzberg. Before making his decision. Dr. Ketter received letters from some Congressmen stating that WSC’s exclusionary policy is an absolute violation of Title IX. “Action could be brought against the college at any time, as well as any other unit of the University, which is why I have set the provisions that such courses will be required to go through academic channels and procedures to determine their validity,” Dr. Ketter said in a telephone interview Friday. t Increase in student loans despite tight money The New ALBANY, N Y. York Higher Education Assistance Corporation (NYHEAC) anticipates the best year in its history with more than $171.6 million dollars in student loans expected to be written in conjunction with New York financial institutions before the fiscal year ends on March 31, 1975. NYHEAC President J. Wilmer Mirandon stated that the - surprising rate of student borrowings provided by banks in a tight money market indicates that dollar value will exceed the prior peak of $167,419,745 set in the 1972 fiscal year. Third quarter summaries at NYHEAC report 35,055 student loans worth $47,771,561 were written, bringing the nine-month total to 110,517 student loans valued at $152,354,355. “It would appear that the Corporation will not receive requests for as many individual loans as it did in the 1972 high when 153,283 were processed. In view of new State grants, including the Tuition Assistance Program, we believe this year’s total will be close to 127,000 including 64,000 first-time loans. However, the average anticipated loan amount for this fiscal year will be $1,315 compared to $ 1,252 in 1974,” Mirandon stated. repayments. The purchase of defaulted loans by NYHEAC is down seven percent or lower by one million dollars, in comparison with a similar period in the peak default fiscal year of 1974, and default dollars are running 6.5 percent of all matured loan dollars. “Defaults are not losses but delinquencies pointed out that by counselling students directly and working out subject to reasonable workout over a period of time. The vast majority of student borrowers are taking care of their obligations. Even those in default are paying the Corporation more than $300,000 a month, which is twice as much as previously,” Mr Mirando explained. reasonable arrangements the Corporation has been able to avert 5 5 percent of default claims receive; and to return the loans to the lenders for completion of of activity in student loans at the beginning of the fiscal year when the Federal Government removed the necessity for a needs test of Less defaults The NYHEAC Chief Executive mu He indicated there was a surge AM’S wants Sell 11,000 student borrowers in this growing category. NYHEAC was organized in 1958, and it has guaranteed to 704,389 New York students one out of every five nationally in program loans valued at $1.42 billion. Approximately $489 million dollars has been repaid by coming from homes where the adjusted family income was $ 1 5,000 or less. “Although we advocate that students seek loans only after all other scholarship and tuition awards are exhausted, it would appear that increased loan activity may be caused primarily by inflated costs and a reduction in the family contribution a student can expect. There is also an increasing realization by students as to the long-term advantages of low-interest loans that permit the average borrower-' to make monthly repayments of about $5 and repayments can be extended for as long as 10 years,” Mr. Mirandon said. Under Federal regulations, students coming from homes where the income is $15,000 or less after making certain standard adjustments may obtain the loans which are interest-free until they complete college. Then the loan repayment is based on a 7 percent interest. For students coming from families whose adjusted income is between SI 5,000 and $30,000, the State now pays four-seventh’s interest on the standard 7 percent loan with the student paying 3 percent from the time the loan is authorized. After the student graduates, the loan plus the 7 percent interest is paid by the student. There are more than applicants — - students with a similar amount now in the process of repayment. Students still in college hold the remaining $442 million dollars in loans. To date, each loan has cost the State about $67 including all administrative expenses, all default losses and interest subsidies without considering the fact that the program attracts more than $40 million in annual Federal interest subsidies into New York which create additional State revenue. Students receiving loans under NYHEAC guarantee attend some 2,800 institutions of higher education in every state as well as some 50 foreign countries. There are 474 New York lending institutions participating in the program, including banks, savings and loan associations, federal savings and loan associations, credit unions and pension funds. “Our lenders are making an extremely worthwhile contribution to New York students and schools,” Mr. Mirandon stated. In July 1975 NYHEAC will be merged into the New York State Higher Education Services Corporation which will provide the delivery mechanism for all State scholarships and grants, as well as continuing the loan guarantee program.

The Bulls shot an incredible 62 percent from the floor against Colgate, needing every shot of it, since they only got two foul shots compared to 24 for the host Red Raiders. Richarson, who has become a frequent and vociferous critic of poor officiating, somehow avoided a technical foul for the first time in four games. As for Dickinson, his play last semester left much to be desired, resulting in his being benched by Richardson. However, when Mike Jones got into foul trouble against Colgate, Dickinson came off the bench and scored twenty points, hitting on a remarkable ten out of twelve shots. “I’ve finally found my shooting touch,” Bob said, “and I’m playing a lot better now.” Obviously the Bulls are playing a lot better too. Bulls run win streak to three man-to-man defense. by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer Quick, what college basketball WEST N.Y. team in Western New YOrk has the longest current winning streak? Surprisingly enough, the Buffalo Bulls, own that honor. Thanks to a 70—68 overtime triumph at Army Saturday night. The three game winning streak is particularly interesting because the last two wins were on the road. The Bulls record now stands at a nearly respectable 4—8. The cadets took a seven point lead early in the second half as Buffalo’s man-to-man defense presented no problems for them. Then the Bulls coach Leo Richardson switched to the two-three zone that had been so effective in earlier wins over St. Francis and Colgate. “That was the turning point,” said Richardson. “They didn’t know what to do against it.” The zone forced Army to take more outside shots than they had against the — Buffalo roared back as senior forward Bob Dickinson scored eight consecutive points to give the Bulls a three point edge two minutes left. Dickinson nearly became the goat with less than ten seconds left when his jump shot was blocked by Gary Winton. “Dicks” claimed that as he recovered the ball, it rolled off Winston’s leg and out of bounds. However, the referee gave the ball to Army, but it could not get a shot off an regulation time expired with the score knotted at 62. Otis Horne’s four points at the start of the overtime period gave Buffalo a lead it never relinquished, although it took an interception by Dickinson with four seconds remaining to lock up the victory. Winton did a lot of damage in a losing cause. The 6’5”, 220 pound forward scored 29 points with 14 rebounds. “He wasn't quick but he sure was physical,” said Dickinson, who covered the husky cadet for much of the night. Richardson added, “He knocked us around, and after Sam Pellom had three fouls all we could do was put Wrestling Bulls hold first place with win by Lynn Everard Spectrum Staff Writer Many people thought that the Buffalo wrestling Bulls’ chances of beating Clarion State last Wednesday were as bleak as the weather in Olean, N.Y. where the meet was held. Despite the snow, wind and Clarion’s powerful team, the Bulls never gave up, arid they came back from a 16—4 deficit to win 22—20. “Every bout was important,” said Buffalo coach Ed Michael, noting the clo,seness of the contest. However, “this was just another meet for us,” he claimed. In fact the Bulls, who are now ranked first in the Stale, have had to come from way behind in three of their last four wins. heavyweight In what seems to be becoming a habit, Buffalo heavyweight Charlie Wright defeated a much larger opponent to win the meet for the Bulls. Wright’s tenacious style brought him back from a two point deficit when he scored a takedown on a rolling headlock in the second period. Exhaustion prevented Wright from making post match comments to the press, but he had, as usual, done his talking on the mat. Wright previously pulled out close matches with Lock Haven (Pa.) State and Kentucky with wins against larger heavyweights. Lightning may not strike twice In the same place but 167 pounder Erik Drasgow does. Two Consistent years ago, when he was a raw freshman, Drasgow pinned Clarion’s Dick Dunkelberger to ice Buffalo’s win. This time he leveled Gerry Higgins, seriously changing the complexion of the contest. In the 177 pound bout, a cradle by Emad Faddoul produced yet another pin and put the Bulls ahead for the first time jn the meet. “He gets better every match he wrestles,” said Michael of the senior 177 pounder. Turning point An open letter to the people of SUNYAB What would you do to give this campus a sense of community? Do you know that there is organization that would welcome your answers on improving the community-and would try to implement them? Do you know that there is a group that cares about you, as a person who has worth, beauty, tapped and untapped potentials you as who you are and as who you want to be. Indeed, this group does not want to convert you, but serve you, challange you, search with you, rejoice with you, share your sorrows in short to love you and be loved by you. VJe at Wesley Foundation have tried to get this message across to you in may ways, and with some success. But there are many of you who have not heard, or who have been suspicious about what you heard, or have just not believed what you heard. We want to set the record straight so please read the following! Several people have asked, “What is the Wesley Foundation?” Our main concern is we are a campus ministry attempting to provide a positive sense of community. community While we are sponsored by the United Methodist Church we are open to anyone. We define our ministry as being in loving service to, with, and for people meeting needs, sharing joy, discussing life goals and ideas, searching for a life style that builds bridges instead of walls, that enables love instead of war. We do not always succeed, and we most definitely make mistakes. But most of those who have been around us do believe our slogan You Gotta Friend! Though that may sound corny,just think about how important your friends are to you. To keep this community “meeting” our main event is a weekly free supper on Sundays at 6:00 pm. (the place is noted on the backpage of each Friday’s iJThe Spectrum). Some have wondered why more of you have not eaten at these free suppers, while others have suggested you do not want something for nothing. Some of you probably figure there is some “catch”. Well, there is no catch we do have free suppers. However, those who want to pay can donate whatever they wish each week to help feed the world’s hungry. We do have programs after supper but we wash dishes and clean up so that lose who want to leave can do so without any pressure to stay. We mean that! The programs vary from discussion on music, films and discussion, volleyball and other games, a dance night, to group process sessions. We also have worship once a month for those who want it. We are always open to suggestions for other Sunday evening programs. We are planning to begin worship services each Sunday morning at 11:00 in Red Jacket cafeteria (Elicott Complex). They will be informal, fresh, lively, and use as much student input as possible. There are plans for a Bible study real study and open discussion, not Bible agreement passed off as study watch for days and time in The Spectrum. We also have special events. We have seasonal and semester- end celebrations. We will have a “Toboggan and Pizza Party”. We will have a Retreat on a special theme from Feb. 28 Mar. 2 at Watson Homestead a lovely setting with an indoor pool. There will be a workshop on Death and Dying held each Wednesday from Feb. 12 April 9 at 11:30 1:00 in room 232 Norton (register in 223 Norton). We hope to be doing some programs all semester to help aid the efforts to fight World Hunger. We have intramural teams that can use. team members. You do not have to be involved in everything we do in order to be involved in any one pick and choose what you want. Indeed, the program we now have may not attract program your attention at all if so, pleas tell ifs what you would have us do and we will try to do it. We need people who want to help lead, and/or plan, and/or participate in all we have, and/or all we should have but do not! One other program we have is what we call Couple’s Group”. It is designed for married couples traditional or non-traditional i.e. open to any couple wanting to relate to a group of couples. The program seeks to enable us to relate to each other and hear how other couples respond. We also simply enjoy each other’s company and friendship. There is very little programming for couples on campus and we hope some of you will become a part of our group. There is also a service of counseling. The director is available by appointment for counseling. He is also available from 9 11 am Mondays, 9-12 noon Fridays for anyone who wants to drop by and talk about anything. Call 634-7129. What will it cost you to get involved? Some of your time, some of your concern that is all. What will you get for your “cost”? Some friends, a caring community, enjoyment, a search for life-style, a challenge to help, a better community. What will it “cost” you not to get involved? It will cost you what it cost others who have graduated and have not been involved not enough personal development and social experiences, and not enough chances for meaningful interpersonal relationships. The Wesley foundation cares. We believe that “We cann 9 t know whether we love God, although there is strong reasons for thinking so, but there can be no doubt about whether we love our neighbor or not.” We want to" serve you, search with you, and need your participation. You Gotta Friend! Call 634-7129 to speak to Rod Saunders, Wesley Foundation Director or just drop by the information table in Norton, or just come to one of the events. an ■ - - — ~ — But a last second reversal and victory by Bruce Hadsell at 158 was the turning point in the meet, both mathematically and psychologically. It seems that Hadsell’s performance has a definite effect on his teammates. Drasgow’s one loss so far this season followed a loss by Hadsell. “He just gets me psyched up." Erik said. The way Hadsell pulled victory from the hands of defeat with two seconds showing on the clock would have psyched anyone. Ron Parker drew a national champion in the Clarion meet for the second year in a row. Last season Parker was understandably pinned by Wade Schalled, one of collegiate wrestling’s all time greats. Last week Parker lost to Don Rohn, who won the national title at 134 two years ago, by a 12—7 score.

Mr. Pernasilice and co-defendant John HiIl(also knwon as DaCajaweiah) are charged with the murder of William Quinn, a prison guard who was injured on the first day of the 1971 Attica uprising and who later died in a hospital. Disregarding Mr. Pernasilice’s plea that his car had broken down near Syracuse on his way back to Buffalo for the trial (he lives in Syracuse), and the contention that the defendant’s presence was not actually required in court that morning, State Supreme Court Justice Gilbert King warned, “All defendants are indispensable at this trial at all times,” as he revoked bail.

Two buses are expected to leave from Buffalo Friday night and ,.return.. Saturday ..after the March. The local chapter of the anti-racism is headed by Richard Ferguson. The group has an office Lafayette Hotel in in the Lafayette Square, and has set up a table in Norton Hall this week from 11:30 a.m.—2 p.m. to sign up people for the buses and hand out literature on the riots in Boston that followed a court-ordered integration plan. The cost of the round-trip, including food, is $25. However, the price is reduced to $12.50 for those who cannot afford the amount, entire said one spokesperson. A leaflet released by the local Emergency Committee states, “The recent events in Boston of mob violence, stoning and beating of black children and ppen organizing by the KKK and the Nazi Party must be answered. The issue in Boston is not busing, it is RACISM.” Free choice “We believe in the right of all children, especially black and other minority nationalities, to attend the school of their choice,” the leaflet writes. “But in the face of vigilante mobs in Boston, a massive demonstration is .needed to insure even that basic democratic right.” In addition to the main march in Boston, solidarity marches are planned in Milwaukee, Houston, and San Francisco. Local and sponsors state include The Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, numerous labor groups and leaders, Leslie Fiedler, Chairman of the English Department at this University* several attorneys connected with civil liberties groups. The Revival of racism In a statement supporting the march, the New York chapter of the Coalition of Black Trade which includes members of Teamsters “we have witnessed, what was believed to be the destruction of racism in the South, only to see it rise with the support of President Ford in the North [Boston] “We have witnessed one of the most popular liberal candidates future Presidential fo;possible (Senator Ted considerations Kennedy) run for possible future Presidential considerations run Kennedy] (Senator Ted blacks since Meredith broke the color line at ole Mississippi over a decade ago.” The prime national sponsors are the Reverend Ralph Abernathy, Martin Luther King Jr.’s successor in the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and State Representative-elect Bill Ownes.

If the appeal fails, it is possible that writ of habeas corpus will be sought to free Mr. Pemasilice. “We are outraged” at Judge King’s action, said ABLD spokesperson Polly Eustis Monday night. “There’s no basis at all to revoke Charlie Joe’s bail on those kind of grounds.” She admitted that Mr. Pemasilice has been late three times sfor court sessions since his pre-trial hearings began, but said that he has had a reasonable excuse each time. Besides. Ms. Eustis added, Monday morning’s session concerned only the cross-examination of a witness pertinent to the case of Mr. Hill, not that of Mr. Pemasilice. “The judge simply mande an arbitrary decision withot taking the circumstances into consideration.” she said, noting that Mr. Pemasilice had made the weekend trip to Syracuse to see his mother. In revoking bail. Judge King also disregarded the arguments of defense attorney Williamn Kunstler, who said that returning Mr. Pernssilice to jail would prevent him from appearing at this week’s "wade" hearings. • Jury selectionn Jury slection will begin this week for the trial of Vernon La Franque, accused of felony posession of a tear gass gun during the Attica uprising, despite ABLD protests over the jury pool. ABLD had previously presented their study, the Fair Jury Project, to the New York State Appellate Court, allegedly proving a strong prejudice in Erie County against black people, persons who seek change, and persons accused of crime. The study concluded that “it would be virtually impossible for the Attica Brothers to obtain an impartial jury in Erie County.” There are currently no black people being considered for jury duty on Mr. LaFranque’s trial. Frederick Hayes, lawyer for Mr. LaFranque, has told the court that notes that were to be available to the defense are missing. These notes, which were turned over to Anthony Simonetti, the head of the Attica prosecution, consisted on an interview between witness Clarence Hunter and two state investigators, held after. ABLD pointed out that the similaries between this and the ABLD pointed out that the similarities between this and the members suspected that it had gone through a paper shredder, according to Ms. Eutis. Mr. Simonetti has been unable to locate the information.

Mr. Deuell must sign all SA requests for funds. by Mitchell Regenbogen Campus Editor After weeks of uncertainty, requests for Student Association (SA) funds allocated to the Buffalo chapter of the New York Public Interest Group (NYP1RG) have been approved by the University’s Office of Student Affairs. NYPIRG of Buffalo, formally the Western New York Public interest (WNYPIRG), was Group Research previously associated only informally with the statewide NYPIRG organization, retaining independent status as an SA club. In September, however, WNYPIRG joined NYPIRG and changed its own name to NYPIRG. Buffalo’s NYPIRG then routinely requested funds through its SA budget line, but was informed that no such requests would be approved by the Office of Student Affairs because the organization had changed its name. Howard Deuell, assistant vice-president for Student Affairs, said he rejected the requests because he was concerned with protecting the purpose of mandatory that the funds be used only student fees for the benefit of the State University at - Financial aid info Political problems Richard Sokolow,new Buffalo flYPIRG director, said that while the name change had “technically” held up the requisitions, he felt the action was part of a more general feeling within the Administration and State University administrations throughout the state that NYPIRG is a group that can cause “political problems.” Mr. Sokolow cited complaints to President Robert Ketter by area last summer about a pharmacists WNYPIRG study of local pharmacies that revealed they were dispensing of harmful combinations of drugs. Mr. Deuell maintained that NYPIRG requests for funds were initially disapproved because of its new name, explaining that “as far as I know, there are no negative feelings about NYPIRG’s operations. Mr. Sokolow feels that NYP1RG was to change justify its name that the unreasonably, adding the diluting Administration is organization’s effectiveness by causing it to asked Financial Aid Applications for I97S—76 are now available at the -Financial Aid Office, 312 Stockton Kimball Tower.

Mr. Sokolow also said SA Treasurer Sal Napoli should have notified NYPIRG of the Administration’s rejections of their . budget request- earlier, since all such . requests go through Mr. Napoli’s office. But Mr. Napoli explained that no funds are approved by the Administration until October 15, and that he informed NYPIRG officials as soon as he realized the situation. Thin ice Sokolow said the University Mr. operates by people “covering their asses.” He explained that even though the Administration may be wary of NYPIRG, it was a good sign. If University officials were not adverse to the organization’s activities, we would probably not be doing a good job, he said. “You know NYPIRG is Andy Hugos, Student Association of State University (SASU) Media Director, remarked that while there has been some “harrassment” of PIRGs around the state, there is probably no policy of intimidation. He feels much of the problem stems from the State University Central Administration’s impression that “everybody is moving in on the mandatory student activities fee,” adding that it is SASU’s position that “students have the right to use their funds any way they want.” Additionally, Mr. Hugos speculated that members of the state legislature did not particularly care for NYPIRG’s candidate profiles during the recent election. State University Chancellor Ernest Boyer stated that the use of mandatory fees for PIRG’s at state campuses is “a gent.eman’s agreement on very thin ice.” Mr. Hugos has maintained that politics is very much involved in education and the State University is “sensitive” to that.

Vacancy filled Med School dean appointed The State University Board of Trustees has appointed Dr. John Naughton as Dean of the Buffalo School of Medicine, a post that has been vacant for more than three years. Dr. Naughton. former Dean for Academic Affairs at George Washington University’s School of Medicine and Health Sciences, will assume the post this March. Many observers felt that the absence of a dean at the School of Medicine has contributed to its general decline since the mid-1960’s. The Liaison Committee on Medical Education concurred with this evaluation in its accreditation report issued in 1972. The usual seven-year accreditation extension period was denied by the committee, and in granting an abbreviated three-year extension, the group urged the school to move immediately to secure a dean. Donald Larson, assistant vice president for Health Sciences, explained the delay. "It’s awfully difficult to find a man willing to take a deanship of a medical school whose objectives match those of the school,” he said. “A careful, long-term screening process is involved.” Not a long time Dr. F. Carter Pannill, vice president for Health Sciences who has served as acting dean since July, 1971, felt, however, that the search was not an unusually long one. He pointed out that there arc at least 30 vacant deanships in the United States, some that have taken longer to fill than theirs. In addition, he denied that the decline of the school’s national reputation, which some feel has prompted many faculty members to leave, has been a factor in discouraging prospective deans, but he conceded that the absence of a dean has been the cause of some of the school’s difficulties. “In every medical school, there Ms turnover of faculty. There will always be better positions available somewhere,” Dr. Pannill said. However, Dr. S. Mouch.'y Small, chairman of the Psychiatry Department, countered that “It’s very complimentary to have other well-known and highly regarded universities take our faculty from us, but that still leaves us without a highly qualified faculty.” Dr. Pannill asserted that the absence of a dean has contributed to the general feeling of low morale at the school, as well as to other administrative and organizational problems. One faculty member commented, “An army can’t function without a general. We’re a bunch of individuals, fighting our own battles. There’s no esprit de corps.” Merry Christmas But many observers feel that even a full-time not alleviate the school’s leadership problems, and that many of the current problems were in existence prior to 1971 when Dr. Leroy Pesch was dean of the medical school. One professor even commented, “We have not had effective dean will leadership for sex or seven years.” While the vacant deanship may have contributed to the school’s problems, it is apparently not the sole cause. One of the nation’s oldest medical school (established in 1846), Buffalo’s reputation in recent years has not measured up to those of schools founded around the same time. It’s decline can be related to the lack of space in the school's facilities, and its inadequate health sciences library. Both these points were cited in the Liaison Committee’s accreditation report. The absence of a university hospital was also considered detrimental to the school’s quality. However, Dr. Pannill is very optimistic about the school’s future. With Dr. Naughton’s appointment, things are definitely “looking up” for the School of Medicine, he said, adding that its devalued national image is already improving. Wednesday, 11 December 1974 . The Spectrum . Page three �Change in White House may bring softer ‘pot’ laws Forces for lobbying the decriminalization of marijuana may have received an extra boost when Richard Nixon resigned as President last August. Mr. Nixon had maintained that he would oppose any move to lower the penalties for the possession of marijuana, even after a recommendation by the Nixon-appointed National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse supported such a move. But the mood at the White House apparently has changed. President Ford has told reporters that according to his own children, the effect of marijuana is “not unlike alcohol,” and that Mrs. Ford is certain that their children have at least tried marijuana. Moreover, Robert L. DuPont, the President’s chief drug policy advisor, admitted recently that he saw little point in continuing to jail marijuana users. Changes This new attitude in the White House may well effect a change in the harsh laws that have jailed millions since the 1930’s, when marijuana was criminalized. Debate over the appropriate penalties for marijuana use dates back to the days when the drug was considered an addictive narcotic, far worse than even heroin or morphine. Doctors are still unsure of the result from marijuana usage, but police and prosecutors have realized that the enforcement of current marijuana laws is growing increasingly difficult to maintain. “The simple fact is that there is a tremendous number of people using marijuana these days,” said Wesley Pomeroy, Denver Police Chief and one-time Justice Department official. “From a pragmatic point of view, the police ought not to be put in the uncomfortable position of having to enforce an unenforceable law,” he said. Many estimates put the number of marijuana users in the United States at 24 million and at least half that number are thought to use it on a regular basis. Last year, almost 400,000 people were arrested for the sale or possession of marijuana. Penalties for use range from a minimum of $100 fine in Oregon to a possible 15-year prison term in New York. States action Decriminalization support appears to be coming from many branches of state government. The New Jersey Narcotics Officers Association, for instance, has backed lesser penalties in that state. Jerry Kennedy, commander of the Denver Vice Squad, favors the city’s new marijuana ordinance, which eases former penalties. “Before, we were bogged down in marijuana arrests. We could never get to $100 in Oregon, it appears that the quality cases,” he explained. decriminalization has discouraged the of five legalize possession move to A marijuana use there.

Hi for inf: Dept, of History 636-2181 m m —| |J �Wrap-up Semester’s end finds many pressing issues unresolved Editor’s note: The following is a wrap-up some of the major news items of the semester. of Financial issues occupied the mainstream of campus new for most of the Semester, particularly in the threatened closing of the Day Care Center and extended haggling over the Student Association(SA) budget, and to a lesser extent with concern over the College Chartering process. Debate on the four-course load, as well as a growing disenchantment with the Faculty-Student Association in general, and with Food Service in particular, were also topical concerns. The University Day Care Center is scheduled to close down December 14. Unless a reprieve in the form of emergency funds from the administration is forthcoming, the Cooke Hall facilities presently used by the Center will be unavailable next semester because of the uncertainty and confusion surrounding the Center’s future. No student monies The Day Care troubles began during the summer when the SA and GSA elected not to fund the Center through Sun-Board I, saying that the $29,000 formerly provided was too great an expense and benefited too few students. The expenditure was difficult for the student organizations to justify when clubs and special interest groups were challenging the varsity athletic budget and fighting tooth and nail over every available dollar. The Center then appealed to the University for funds, claiming that Day Care was a right of all people, and should be funded by the State of New York. University administrators, however, insisted that the only reason the Center had been funded in the past was because it could be justified to SUNY central on academic grounds. Now, they said, with the attention focused on sthe Center’s fiscal problems, Albany might re-examine the grounds on which the existing Center was funded, and bring these precariously justified staff lines into danger. Day Care supporters sponsored a series of rallies and fund drives to garner support among the student body and inform them of the need for state-funded day care. r* is sponsoring a graduate program for the Spring ’75 semester. Project “SEARCH” is -a pilot program coordinated by the New York State Education Project rf. atfadent* Student spending The SA budget up in the air until it was finally passed by the Assembly last month turned out to be a tedious, drawn out debacle of clubs and interest groups fighting for what they saw as their share of the $800,000 gathered from the mandatory student fee. Disruptions at Assembly meetings last year prevented any decisions on the budget, so the SA Executive Committee passed it during the quieter summer months, when few Assembly members were around. This fall’s Assembly meetings became bogged down in technical, parliamentary stumbling blocks which culminated in the Assembly’s freezing of the entire Athletic Department’s budget. The freeze resolution called for a complete breakdown of all contracts signed by the Athletic Department, and, more specifically, an investigation by the Executive Committee of both the budgetary changes made by the Athletic Department and all signed contracts which resulted from those changes. But SA President Frank Jackalone’s veto quickly ended the freeze and dispelled all the legal hassles which would have stemmed from cancelling pre-scheduled sports events. The veto was a “sign of confusion, not firmness,” Mr. Jackalone said at the time. It did serve, however, as an ominous sign to the Athletic Department that in times of tight money, varsity sports will not be regarded as a top priority. “SEARCH” Dept., dedicated to the development and evaluation of innovative approaches to elementary and secondary education.

It was, all in all, a relatively mild end to what was expected to be a stormy, polarizing process. The Committee recommended that only one College, Progressive Education, be discontinued next semester, but softened that move by recommending Guidelines The Day Care Center subsequently adopted a that they continue instead as a workshop. The matter is far from closed, though.

Petitions are now being circulated urging the academic grounds. But victory may prove pyrrhic, and the future rechartering of WSC in its present form, and another of the Center after December 20 is still very much in rally and a march to President Ketter’s office is doubt.

This anti-inflationary trend is a result of a drastically reduced retail business which has forced over-stocked stores to lower their prices to unload stockpiled merchandise. At the same time, wholesalers, beset by order cancellations, are selling goods to retailers at low prices, in order to move merchandise. The prices are likely to drop even lower as Christmas approaches. Large chain stores, including Sears Roebuck and J.C. Penny’s, are reporting the lowest monthly gains for November in years. Many are promoting specials just to stimulate the lagging consumer interest in buying. Season to be jolly The Christmas shopping season this year is five days shorter than last, another reason why stores are not waiting until after Christmas to stage their sales. Reduced prices have been advertised across the nation in many stores since the day after Thanksgiving. The consumer who has been waiting to make a major purchase is now at an advantage. While the usual specials on shirts, underwear and socks are going on, certain bargains in other departments seem unprecedented at this time of year.

The daily traffic flow through the front doors of Norton has created a “wind tunnel” on the first floor. Despite a decade of request by Maintenance for remedial action, nothing has been done to stifle these indoor tornadoes. In Oct., 1973 Bob Henderson, associate Director of Norton Hall, held a with administration meeting officials to discuss the problem. Robert Hunt, Director of Environmental Health and Safety, Dwayne Moore of the Office of Facilities Planning and Ray Reinig of the Department of General Maintenence came up with a plan to enclose the porch outside the rear entrance of the building. The construction of a porch and addition of heating facilities, wlych would have cost between $25-100,000, was subsequently vetoed by the Office in General Services in Albany. allocate the Services recommended that the situation be remedied in 1977, when Norton Hall is scheduled for a thorough renovation. By that time, according to Mr. Tclfer, the student union facility will be located on the Amherst campus. Until the expected renovation is undertaken, Mr. Telfer claimed, “Our hands are tied." Discussing Albany’s refusal to allocate the necessary funds, Lee Kennedy, Norton Hall Supervising Janitor, said, this information had never been passed along to the maintenence staff. Until now, claims Mr. Kennedy, he and his co-workers were under the impression that both the Norton and University Adminstrations and the various University departments had not taken steps to remedy the situation. “1 realize that we may not have done a complete job of sharing all of the information with the maintenence staff, but our office has also not received very much Nothing left information either,” Mr. “The people of this campus Henderson claimed. “We have done all they can,” claimed recognize the problem and feel Mr. Hunt, expressing concern for very strongly about it,” he said, the Maintenence staffs feeling adding that it is generally felt that that the administration has been the final decision rests with unsympathetic to their plight.

Amherst (between Youngmann Expy. & Maple Rd.) �General education success key: a makeover specialist teachers , by Clem Colucci Special Features Editor University of Chicago Philosophy Professor Stephen Toulmin led off last weekend’s Conference on “General Education and the First Two Undergraduate Years” by discussing the functions of general education and the steps college and university teachers will have to take to restore it. The conference, co-sponsored by the Offices of the President and Faculty-Senate, is part of the Senate Educational Planning and Policy Committee’s inquiry into the state of undergraduate liberal education at the University, according to Faculty-Senate Chairman George Hochfield. Dr. Toulmin discussed changes in higher education over the past two decades in an attempt to explain the anxiety among college faculty. “I wonder how many of you remember the End of Ideology?” he asked. In the late 1950’s, intellectuals believed “there was no basic problem about the organization of society,” said Dr. Toulmin. The big question was to improve the efficiency of social and educational arrangements. Pie in the sky The money poured into higher education when the Soviets launched Sputnik and disrupted the “Biblical pattern seven years fat, seven years lean” of educational funding and led college faculty to believe the resulting growth would continue indefinitely, Dr. Toulmin explained. As higher education proceeded on the assumptions of general prosperity and a concern for “efficiency” over more basic questions, the disciplines became more specialized. Dr. Toulmin compared higher education to a fan, with the different disciplines as individual blades. The trend in education was to move out toward the ends of the fan blades, emphasizing the diversity and specialization of knowledge, rather than toward the center, which stressed the unity and generality of knowledge. This was efficient, said Dr. Toulmin, but it was also a mistake. The “End of Ideology” was a misconception. Intellectuals now realize they must have a “preoccupation not with efficiency, but with justice.” This return to more “basic” questions, like justice, requires “a return to matters of general culture.” Progress within the disciplines is no longer “a self-evident good,” said Dr. Toulmin. — Getting serious He dismissed the argument that students are now to more conservative and career-oriented as a “canard ... 'Ladies & excuse us from the disagreeable task of taking general education seriously,” and outlined the functions of undergraduate education and the specific role of general 1 education. “A fair amount of undergraduate education is ... remedial,” Dr. Toulmin emphasized. College students “won’t read” and “can’t write.” He rejected the common claim that the high schools can be held responsible for the declining literacy of college students. If college teachers in all subjects demand good English as a prerequisite for good grades, “the news would get back to where it counts,” Dr. Toulmin said. He also briefly mentioned the pre-professional function of undergraduate education, that part which requires specialization and “moving out to the end of the fan blade.” The third, and most important function of undergraduate education is the “critical function,” Dr. Toulmin believes undergraduate education involves “citizens in embryo, hopefully also educated men in embryo, though that may be asking a lot.” Help wanted The properly educated undergraduate must learn ways of thinking and arguing to face problems “not as a professional, but as a man and a citizen.” The student must also develop the ability “to absorb a range of material,” from music to science. “What we lack is the central culture,” lamented Dr. Toulmin. It is no longer true, as it once was, that any two educated persons could find common ground for intellectual discussion. Students are interested in these things, Dr. Toulmin asserted, “We must help them.” Dr. Toulmin outlined how general education should contribute to fulfilling the functions of undergraduate education. First, he pointed out, universities shouldn’t rush out and hire general education teachers. General education should not be the concern of “specialized generalists" who would be shunted off into second-class academic citizenship. Critical thinking, for example, should be taught in the academic subjects by the teachers of those subjects, not by teachers of critical thinking. Generalized specialization General education is also vital to professional and pre-professional education. Dr. Toulmin said. Without general education, he asserted, "we are impoverishing ourselves even within our special subjects." Dr. Toulmin cited his reaction after reading several graduate syllabi for sociology graduate schools. Anyone taking these programs “has no chance whatever of becoming a Max Weber.” he Mens Pipe Show ffSS SUNDAY at 1:00 free samples of our custom blend tobaccos given at show Large selection of manufactured and hand made pipes Pinball entertainment Main&Bailey Smoke Shop said (Max Weber was one of the foremost pioneers of sociological theory). Dr. Toulmin said Weber was great because “he knew so much,.” “Who cares about polling techniques in the last resort?” Dr. Toulmin asked. The concern with social problems nurtured by a broad study of philosophy, science and literature made Weber the sociologist he was, not his knowledge of sociological technique. Dr. Toulmin related his experience with a history of a science course he once taught to illustrate some practical reforms for general education. The course was taught by three teachers, at least two of whom were always in attendance. Dr. Toulmin said the spectacle of a scientist and a philosopher arguing over a question neither of them were expert in was highly stimulating to professor and student alike. Oh yeah? Says who? “A simple reform would be to have at least two teachers in each [introductory] course so they can argue —Breslaver with each other,” said Dr. Toulmin. This would educate students in the “necessity of disagreement.” He emphasized that general education must be taught by the specialists. Dr. Toulmin told of the time he visited Cambridge the summer before he entered. A distinguished scientist showed him such diverse things as the cyclotron in the Cavendish laboratories (Dr. Toulmin originally wanted to be a scientist) and a performance of The Missiah in Trinity chapel. Medical students, for example, would pay attention to a medical ethics course if taught by respected professors in other subjects, but not otherwise, he claimed. If general education is to be a success, said Dr. Toulmm,-i'we are going to have to make.ourselves over.” He recalled a Scottish tradition of having the senior professors teach freshmen, in contrast to current American practices of leaving them to the graduate students. Toulmin surmised that some serious Dr. re-examination of the faculty role is required if well-rounded students are to graduate from our universities and colleges.

Dr. Searle said. He and his theories of education, feels that the administrators gave often sending the audience into in too easily to student demands for special courses in womens studies and black history, in order to pacify these groups. In doing so, he indicated, they segregated these studies from the existing academic and departments consigned them to secdnd rate status. As an altemtive, he outlined a plan desingned to give students a well-rounded education stimulate their and to intellectual abilities, not through required courses in western civilization as was the practice before the student unrest of the last decade, but through well designed, well taught courses in a number of basic fields. Searle laughter with his clever reserved witticisms. Dr. Searle agreed with several that previous speakers “confidence n liberal [general] education has been lost.” He reassured the audience, however, that the death of liberal education at hand, and that this in confidence is due to “a partially feauure in Bourgeois society to periodically is not erosion announce its demise.” Confidence schools are doing a worse job today, or TV is doing a better one.” He also feels that every student should learn how to both speak and read as well as dream in a foreign This is language. because important foreign languages help one to learn other habits of thought as well as to understand English better. In addition to taking basic science courses in physics and biology. Dr.Searle added a student should learn philosophy by “philosophizing about something substantive,” as a prerequisite to what learning progessional philosphers have to say. - - Despite its failures, Dr. Searle is still confident in the American university because it raises a larger percentage of the population to a higher intellectual level than does any other system, he said. In Study history research, he went on, “America Searle believes that Dr. clearly leads the world.” And students should study their own since education and research are history, so that they know that the two basic functions of the “not only the past existed, but higher education system, Dr. that they of the past.” Searle contended there must be Students are hungry for the something being done right. intellectual security of such a However, he believed the first program.” explained Dr. Searle, two years of college do not and given his belief that students prepare the student the way they in the 1970’s are easier to teach should. and more eager to leam that According to Dr. Searle, one students in the past, he feels tht basic mistake of the American they will accept such a program. universities is to divide up Dr. Searle not only has ideas knowledge into the “trivium” of about what the ideal program in the humanities, the social sciences general education should be, but and the natural sciences.

According to Dr. Searle, the reason why more students need to take courses in remedial English today tan in the past is that either “high Christopher Lasch Two noted educators callfor broader undergrad programs The Conference on General Education, an examination of the first two years of undergraduate study, began here Saturday with speeches by Steven Marcus. Professor of English at Columbia University and Christopher Lasch. from the Department of History at the University of Rochester. Speaking before an audience made up mostly of State University of Buffalo faculty. Dr. Marcus said that the “lack of confidence" in today’s society stems from the undergraduate educational system. Isolating the problem in the first two years of the undergraduate experience, he claimed that “general education” in America is in a state of steady decline, adding that only "intensive care” from society can now salvage the country’s educational system. Dr. Marcus explained that a general education is that which “most of us have been brought up upon,” namely the study of the humanities. “As long as man will be man, humanist studies will be attractive,” he He criticized those pre-professional students who come to the university for the sole purpose of receiving the vocational tools needed to gain admission to graduate school, and cited these students’ apparent avoidance of the humanities as reason for the general decline in education. Dr. Marcus suggested that freshmen be required to take history and philosophy courses which would avoid “subjecting the student to poorly packaged intellectual material found in the intellectual supermarket.” This plan would also allow the pre-professional student to receive intellectual material from sources other than the “culture industry,” defined by Dr. Marcus as the body which provides intellectual material for the mass of society. Dr. Lasch covered much the same ground as Dr. Marcus, but elaborated on the notion of “deparochializing the pre-professional student” and broadening their educational base. explained. A humanist education should be designed to This could be accomplished, he said, through develop the “whole man” Dr. Marcus went on.

But in the face of opposition Hyman Lumer, in Zionism: Its Role in World Politics, says from the Zionists and others, that Zionist philosophy rests upon another plan was adopted, two two major beliefs; that Jews dividing Palestine into Jews one for and separate'-states, '“chosen are the everywhere , the other for Arabs, On November 29, 1947 the partition plan went into effect, granting fifty-six per cent of Palestine for the Jewish State. Two immediate problems comprised only arose. The one third of the population in Palestine, and the area designated for the Jewish State already was inhabited by a majority of Arabs. Understandably, the Arabs were upset over the partition, and according to Mr. Lumer, “British imperialism” nourished this sentiment and “instigated the Arabs,” whom they still influenced to attack the new Jewish State of Israel early in 1948. Israeli expansion According to the Arab Information Center in New York City, Israel began expanding its partition borders "before the entry into Palestine of a single soldier from neighboring Arab States.” When the conflict ended, the Israeli armed forces occupied about eighty percent of Palestine, and expelled nearly 750.000 Arabs from their homes, claims the Information Center. If the Arabs and Jews had formed an alliance against “British imperialism” at the close of World War II, the outcome would have been “some form of binational state,” with justice for all, contends Mr. turner. But, among many other problems, it would have been impossible for the Zionists, who had provided leadership to the Jews in Palestine to accept this position. With Zionists in charge of the government of the Israeli State, Arabs living inside Israel were “either ignored or regarded as an inconvenience,” writes Mr. strip, and the entire Sinai Peninsula. “As a result,” writes the Arab Information Center, “every Palestinian Arab today is either living in exile, or under Israeli occupation.” Many Arabs have been displaced from their homes, towns, cities and villages, and have collected in desert refugee camps, struggling for survival. The “lucky” Arabs in Israel live in the worst housing, have the least education, the lowest paying jobs, the highest unemployment and the least amount of medical aid. Arabs charge that terrorisim and repression is used to keep them “in their places.” “The Sinai oil wells have been taken over and are supplying all of Israel’s oil requirements, explains Mr. Lumer, and the occupied areas have been integrated into Israel’s economy “along semi-colonial lines,” providing Further expansion markets” and “cheap more border “profitable 1967, after In skirmishes, Israel’s Air Force labor.” Numerous resolutions have secretly attacked Arab Air Bases, been passed in the United Nations the bulk of Arab “destroying planes on the ground,” according condemning the expansionist policies of Israel.

Border skirmishes continued, and in 19S6, Israel invaded Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, terming it as an act of “self-defense.” But Anthony Nutting, in No End ofa Lesson, describes a plot between Israel, France and Britain to attack Egypt, ostensibly to reverse the nationalization of the Suez Canal by Egypt’s Abdul Nasser, and to hault Nasser’s aid to the Algerian National Liberation Front, which was waging a struggle for national independence against French colonialism. The plot failed, according to Mr. Nutting, and Israel had to withdraw her forces from the Sinai.

State without Arabs Michael Bar-Zohar, author of the book Ben-Gurion writes that Ben-Gurion’s feeling about the Arabs was that “the fewer there were living within the frontiers of the new Jewish State, the better he would like it.” Bar-Zohar reflects: “While this might be called racialism, the whole Zionist movement actually was based on the principle of a purely Jewish community in Palestine.” The Arab Information Center maintains that Israel continually waged attacks across the partition and armistice lines, in order to fulfill their religious-political beliefs, andt were continually censured by the United Nations. - , / y Tel: 836-6100 \ Mon.

Project Chairman Jeff Baker is also contacting other student organizations, in hopes of uniting their “Black Christmas” spirit. Community organizations, department stores, and dry cleaners have volunteered to lend their services to the project, but according to a project spokesman, organizations within the University structure have been far less responsive. Last year the students planned a Christmas dinner at a neighborhood church. One student, hwo has been involved in the drive for the past two years said, “Noboday was greedy. They just took what they needed.” Students interested in assisting the BSU with “Black Christmas” should call them at 831-1830, or stop by their office in 355 Norton Hall. * ' • Questions still unanswered Martin Sostre, convicted in 1968 on narcotics and other related charges, has appealed his case to the New York State Court of Appeals on the grounds that the sole witness for the prosecution recanted his testimony. If a favorable decision is reached, it would be the first time a changed testimoney has produced a new trial without the consent of the prosecution. Mr. Sostre was charged on July 15, 1967, with possession and sale of narcotics. The charges were based on the testimony of Arto Williams, a drug addict. Mr. Sostre was eventually convicted in 1968 and sentenced to 30 to 40 years in prison. He was 44 years old at the time. In a sworn statement six years later, Mr. Williams says he never bought any narcotics from the accused and that he agreed to help frame Mr. .• University Assembly votes to alter format The University Assembly recently passed a proposal altering its structure by replacing the previous 87 member, grass roots representation with the Presidents of its constituent groups(Student Association, Graduate Student Association, and Faculty-Senate. Presided over by University President Robert Ketter, the new “Council of Chairman” will determine what issues fall under the jurisdiction of the Assembly and procedures for passing legislation. Previously, the Assembly was unable to handle any problems because “it lacked jurisdiction in any area of concern,” said Assembly Chairman Dave Saleh, an undergraduate. Under the new structure, Mr. Saleh feels there will be a coordinated effort tying constituent groups and the Assembly together. The new structure promotes a tighter governance organization, thereby eliminating much of the confusion generated by so many groups operating independently of each other, Mr. Saleh emphasized. “Hopefully,”he said, “University Assembly actions will be more acceptable to the student community.” Mr. Saleh hopes the new body will not only review issues, such as athletics and health care, but handle the question of governance itself and what direction it should take. ‘We will keep reviewing as a grop,” he said, inferring that improvements will continue. hv'.O V Martin Sostre \\ Snow?

Tying in Use of telephones explained University faculty members have taken courses the in proper use of campus telephones. Michael Day, assistant accountant with the Chief Accountant's Office, and representatives of the telephone company, started conducting seminars in tie-line and long-distance calling last year after two students living in the Governors Residence Halls mistakenly received the phone bill for the entire Amherst campus approximately S9.000. The S9.000 figure came largely from faculty at the Law School making direct, long distance calls within New York State instead of wailing for a tie-line, which gives unlimited long distance calls for a flat rate. Charles Balkin. assistant vice-president and Controller of Financial Services, explained that during certain parts of the day, the tie-line is extremely busy, causing some people to become impatient and dial direct, thereby increasing the phone bill needlessly. Mr. Balkin said about $250,000 was spent on unnecessary toll calls. Mr, Balkin characterized this as “not abuse, but rather an HHVE - oversight.” Toll calls have decreased in the past year for several reasons, Mr. Day said. Last year, the Amherst campus did not have its own tie-liene operators and calls had to be channelled through the Main Street campus operators. “This caused problems,” Mr. Day said and resulted in people making direct calls because of constant busy signals.” “ -■ .

But Mr. Day noted that “as a result of these actions taken, the situation has definitely improved.” HAPPY Page tep . Also, many people were unaware of the correct use, and sometimes even the existence of the tie-line. The Amherst campus now has its own tie-line operators and the seminars have taught faculty about the tie-line. Mr. Day sent letters to all department heads last February explaining how to use the tie-line to cut down on direct toll calls and how to prevent unauthorized use of the phones for personal calls. �Food shortages Triage and hungry nations A State University at Buffalo economist observed that with worldwide food shortages becoming more acute, the concept of “triage” as it applies to hungry nations is starting to be taken more seriously in international circles. John C.G. Boot, Professor of Management Science, explains that under this concept, food relief efforts would be directed toward developing nations that appear to have the best chances of becoming self-sufficient in food production, perhaps at the expense of other nations whose prospects are grim. In medical emergencies, triage refers to the practice of sorting casualties into three groups for treatment: those who will die whatever happens, those who will survive whatever happens, and those whose lives depend on prompt medical attention. Dr. Boot, who visits the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization each June in Rome, says the issue of triage is now being brought out into the open and is no longer discussed only flippantly. The economist reports that representatives are starting to argue against food aid on a “squeaking wheel” basis. They suggest, if food shortages increase, it might be better to write off aid to nations where wholesale deaths are inevitable in the long run; and instead concentrate the right kind of assistance in areas which lack food but have a fighting chance to become productive or self-sufficient in the future.

Can cultural and intellectual abilities be developed, or are they genetically inherited? These and other related questions will be the focal point of Jensenism and the Crisis in Education, a new Social Sciences College course to be offered this spring. Roger Woock, chairman of the Social, Philosophical and Historical Foundations of Education Department, said Jensenism, the theory that some races are inferior to others, strikes a serious blow at the university as an education institution designed to develop cultural and intellectual capacity. The course is the result of the combined efforts of Prof. Woock, James Lawler, professor of philosophy, and several graduate students who have investigated the eugenics theories of William Shockley and other Jensenites. The concepts of I.Q. and intelligence as related to racism and the situation in schools today will be explored, along with the theo'ry that differences in intelligence of children in the United States is the result of education environments, not heredity. The course has scheduled several noted guest lecturers, among them Prof. Richard Lewontin Director of Harvard University’s Anthropological Museum and Prof. Brian Simon of the University of Luster, England, a noted expert on I.Q. testing and evaluation. Dr. Woock explianed that he does not expect black students to be “outraged” over the course, but indicated that some professors might be. , FOREIGN CAR SERVICE 838-6200 2820 Bailey at Kensington Expy.

Wilk, presented by Wilk’s Parks Project last week in the Harriman Studio. What happens in P4 (the full title has been nominated for the Agnew Annual Ameliorative or, rather Alliteration Award) is, indeed, a party than gauntlet-cum-fencing match known to us all as The Modern Party wherein one is knee-deep in facades, falsehoods, and all that other flotsam from Eric Berne’s Games People Play, copies of which are lying about on the tables for easy reference by the participants. ... , — — Game of life Our viewpoint is that of John Simonetti, played by John Simonetti. I’m not trying to he cute; the protagonist is clearly not the actor so named. The play’s Simonetti has experienced a symbolic birth, the first event in the play, and an encounter with the “female ensemble,” whose rhythmic, relentless pounding eventually drowns out Simonetti’s voice. At the play’s end, Simonetti dies. He is totally contained in the play; he has no existence outside it. He brings a somewhat Graduated presence to the party, where the password is not “swordfigh,” but machos. Toupees, for example, are a big conversational topic not merely wigs, but chest toupees (there actually are such things). Jon Roller, playing someone by the same name, drags Simonetti through a fairly literal recreation of Roller’s lion hunt in Kenya, ending in Roller’s total humiliation at his own failure. Wildlife as a masculine metaphor appears frequently, expecially in the person of a Mrs. Robinsonian Marcia Wiesenfeld who attempts to arouse the “tiger” in Simonetti. — Virility rites The manly art of sport supplies the play with its very structure. It’s divided into nine innings (i.e., scenes), all but one of which are described as “John Simonetti vs. .. The intermission is the “Seventh Inning Stretch.” In addition, the cast enters carrying white sneakers and out of costume; they proceed to “suit up” as the party scenes begin. (Why baseball? Because football would have provided only four scenes, I suppose, and hockey only three.) And, in the best Gillette Foamy tradition, there are periodic commercial interruptions for various virility tonics. P4' s motive is not trenchant commentary on human foibles, and the play is least rewarding when this is forgotten: Simonetti's opening monologue is pretty murky, and the symbolism is less than subtle. Instead, it focuses on the concept of observation. Successful playing of Berne’s ’‘games” requires an “viewing people as attitude of detachment characters, not as people,” in Jeff Brooks’ phrase. But the Party-Players arc characters, not people characters both as theatrical agents and as gamesmen using masks as shields. (At the moment. I’m thinking of classical Greek theatre.) As surely as the Party-Players are coolly observing each other, we are observing them. And at the play's end, they sit and watch us. The highway now runs two ways. — - Party poopers Problems; three main ones. First, the cast lets the play’s improvisatory structure run too loosely, especially in Jon Roller's sequences, which are a good deal too long. Second, he device of Simonetti halting the party to ask advice of Wilk, who is seated in the front row, is very contrived and of minimal value. When I saw the play, it was under Harriman’s normal lighting; no “stage” lights were used. Not only was it difficult to concentrate on the stage area for this reason, but there were several occasions when something as simple as a single spotlight could have effectively focused audience attention on a specific person or event, instead of leaving it diffused. Both the ideas and the execution inP4 have definite raw edges, and the party situation may not be the best way to deal with some of the work’s aspects. But it does reveal some fascinating perspectives which definitely merit further exploration. (About that ten-spot, John; $8.98 will square things quite nicely . .)

Federal anti-trust action under way, say AT&T illegal monopoly WASHINGTON (LNS) The Justice Department announced on November 20 that it is beginning action to break up the nation’s largest privately owned corporation. The suit to divest American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) of its major subsidiary. Western Electric, and some of its other concerns, is the largest antitrust action in United States history. The government has charged that AT&T has an illegal monopoly over the telecommunications business, a charge even AT&T officials find difficult to refute. The huge communications company controls over 80 percent of all phone calls in the United States and about 90 percent of all long distance calls, while the left over business is handled by the 1700 non-Bell companies in the U.S. In addition, its wholly owned subsidiary, Western Electric, manufactures nearly all of the phone equipment used by the Bell System. AT&T’s 1973 assets of $67 billion were approximately the same as the combined assets of the next twenty top-ranking utility companies. And its net income of $2.99 billion in 1973 put it ahead of Exxon and General Motors in income. Because of its total dominance in the industry, AT&T was able to maintain an annual dividend rate of $9 per share through the darkest days of the depression. — Single entity John D. deButts, chairman of AT&T, responded to the antitrust suit by defending the control his firm has over the telecommunications industry. “The telephone network, to work effectively, must be designed, built and operated as a single entity,” he said. “It is for this reason and no other that the Bell System is structured as it is.” And “structured as it is,” AT&T is a classic model of vertical integration. At the one end is the Bell Telephone Laboratories, the source of most of the technology that has spread through the communications industry and holder of thousands of patents. At the opposite end are the 23 domestic AT&T Three year wait AT&T’s worries are at least years away, if they ever materialize at all. According to the Justice Department, the AT&T suit won’t even come to trial “for at least three years,” and the Wall Street Journal speculates that appeals “could stretch out the proceedings to a decade or more.” A similar suit to divest AT&T of Western Electric was brought in 1949 by the Truman Administration. The suit was settled without divestiture seven years later, in 1956, under the Eisenhower Administration. Information that became public in 1958 made the favorable AT&T ruling one of the major scandals of the Eisenhower years. In the present suit AT&T is expected to argue that since the government failed in its efforts to divest Western Electric in 1956 it should not be allowed to try again. That antitrust actions can be used by the government to give the appearance of “getting tough with business” is certainly shown in U.S. history. The antitrust actions of the early 20th century that “broke up” Standard Oil certainly did not slow the momentum of the Rockefeller family in establishing a world-wide empiie. In fact, radical historial Gabrial Kolko argues that the seemingly progressive antitrust legislation of the early 1900’s was in fact pushed by big business as a way to head off anti-corporate and anti-capitalist feelings among the people. Perhaps most revealing is an exchange between industrialists Henry Clay Frick and Andrew Carnegie reported by Mr. Kolko in his book. The Triumph of Conservatism. When Democratic trust-buster Grover Cleveland defeated William Henry Harrison in 1892, Frick wrote to Carnegie, “1 am very sorry for President Harrison, but I cannot see that our interests are going to be affected one way or the other by the change in administration.” Mr. Carnegie replied, “Cleveland! Landslide! Well, we have nothing to fear and perhaps it is best. People will now think the Protected Manufacturers will be attended to and quit agitating. Cleveland is a pretty good fellow. Off for Venice tomorrow.” telephone companies plus the Canadian system. And in the middle is Western Electric, taking Bell Lab’s technology and putting it inot the Bell System’s operations. Western Electric itself was ranked by Fortune magazine as 12th in 1973 revenues among all U.S. industrial corporations. Its reported revenues for that year were $7 billion, slightly more than United States Steel. Western Electric’s total 1973 earnings of $315 million were exceeded by only . 17 companies. And 88 percent of Western’s 1973 sales were to the Bell System. The rest were to the Defense Department. Large employment The enormous system of Bell Labs, Western Electric, and the Bell System employs some 1,010,000 people, making it second only the Federal Government as an employer. If successful, the antitrust suit would require AT&T to divest itself of Western Electric, and require Western Electric to split into two or more operating companies. In addition, AT&T would be required to either get out of long-distance phone business to a certain extent or keep the lon-distance business and get rid or some or all of the 23 local phone companies it owns. (Of these 23, AT&T owns 17 outright, and its shares in the other six range from 17 to 99.3 percent.) The suit also leaves open the possibility that the Justice Department may take action at a later date to divest AT&T of Bell Labs. Although the Justice Department suit against AT&T sounds good on paper, what to expect from it is another question. The huge corporation has been under this particular investigation for the past fourteen months and during that period there were charges that the Nixon White House was deliberately sabotaging the proceedings. This has led many people to speculate that the AT&T suit was brought at this live to give the Ford administration a “get tough with business" image.

Page thirteen �Editorial WRESTLING Charter Women's Studies What is the point of having a Women's Studies College if certain of its courses cannot exclude men? The significance of this question has apparently escaped members of the College Chartering Committee, and President Robert Ketter is likely to feel no differently as he deliberates whether to accept the Committee's recommendations. It would be sadly ironic if one of the University's most innovative and educationally rewarding programs went out the window simply because a handful of supposedly aware men and women co not realize that men have been excluded from certain courses as a means of fighting, rather Jhan reversing discrimination. Women In Contemporary Society, one of the courses that has excluded men, is an introductory seminar which offers many women their first thorough exposure to the role of women in the modern world. The course moves from a consciousness-raising introduction to a social analysis of the position of women. Because the Women's Studies College is aware of the complexities of studying women as a "category", class members are encouraged to write personal histories so a connection can be drawn between their personal experiences and a sexist society. Since the underlying goal of the course is to create an atmosphere where women can break through deeply-infixed stereotypes, how can the course succeed if the presence of men will only reinforce those very stereotypes. Relegating the classes to a forum for debating whether we do in fact live in a sexist society, rather than proceeding from the premise that the existence of sexism is a non-debateable fact, would make them inconsistent with their goals and absolutely worthless. Opponents of the College's exclusionary policies are quick to cite Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, which is designed to end sex disdrimination in education, as justification for asking the College to begin a no-holds barred open door policy for men. According to a variety of legal opinions, however, the exclusion of men could be defended under the law if it can be shown to facilitate the successful completion of the educational program in question. In every conceivable way, excluding males from courses like Women In Contemporary Society and Self-Help is what makes them a success. When opponents of Women's Studies argue that ignorance is one of the bases of sexism, they overlook the fact that allowing men into the courses in question only nurtures the ignorance if it inhibits women from exploring how sexism has affected their personal lives. Rather than rally to the shallow cry of reverse discrimination, educators at a supposedly modern institution would be better off thinking about, in as conceptual a way as they possibly can, the necessity of having courses that are for women only.

Page fourteen The Spectrum Wednesday, II December 1974 , . TRB from Washington December II, 1974 We were talking to the Outer Space Man (OSM) the other day, a quite interesting chap despite his three heads. Sometimes when terrestrial problems get a bit too much for us we like to chat with Mr. OSM. He takes a cool, clinical interest in Earth people, with a touch of humor and sympathy. There are several thousand small planets in his jurisdiction, he tells us, at about the Earth’s state of evolution. He has charming manners and a nice suburban home on the other side of the Galactic Dark Spot. We communicate by empathy but for readers it goes better in English. What worried us for the moment, we told him, was Old Mrs. Zabriskie. She is a quiet humble earth-dweller with humdrum details: income SI05 a month in a walk-up, cold-water flat in St. Louis, and lives alone. Her total assets are under SI500 and she gets a fortnightly Social Security check, from which she takes $18 a month to buy food stamps at a concessional rate; for S 18 she gets S46 in food stamps. But President Ford has just announced that he is going to trim food stamp benefits by $750 million to $ 1 billion on March 1, 1975, to aid the budget. Inflation, you see: that’s our Number One Enemy. This means that Old Mrs. Zabriskie will have to ante up $31 a month instead of $18 to get $46 in food stamps. The Ford proposal will affect 95 percent of 15 million under the plan. Then there is poor Mr. Jones, disabled from and living on $ 146 a month (rent S 11 2). Up till now he used $15 to purchase his $23 fortnightly in food stamps. But he will be hit by the Ford budget economy even harder than Old Mrs. Zabriskie: after March 1, he must pay $21.50 for his fortnightly $23 in food stamps. It won’t be worth taking the long bus trip to the food stamp office. We told this to our interplanetary visitor. “Surely,” empathized Mr. OSM, “your what-do-you-call-it, your Congress, will object? You have explained to me . . .” “Congress doesn’t need to approve,” we interrupted. “The president can change food stamp rates without legislation. He needs authorization for two other proposed economies: he wants to save a billion by cutting Medicare benefits for the elderly, and $400 million from social security. But on food stamps he can act alone.” “I understand,” Mr. OSM said politely, “that on your planet the poor are expected to carry most of the load. But this variant is interesting. Will there be opposition?” “Perhaps so, if the public understands,” we replied doubtfully. “Mr. Ford told us in a press conference last week, however, that he had merely required ‘certain individuals, who wanted food stamps, to pay slightly more to qualify.’ For Old Mrs. Zabriskie and poor Mr. Jones ‘slightly more’ means going a couple of days a month without food.” I could see Mr. OSM patiently trying to understand. “But aren’t' you all sacrificing,” he asked. “I believe all your foods have gone up.” “All up, and most for the poor,” we explained. “A pound of butter up nine percent terrible: but margarine is up 63 percent. Porterhouse steak has jumped 38 percent and the a fall - well-to-do are boycotting it but Old Mrs. Zabriskie hasn’t seen steak for five years. She they’re up 25 percent.” uses dried beans - + "1 am interested in your problems,” said Mr. OSM. “You have what you call your Congress?” “I think the Senate will vote against food stamp increases. The rub is the House, sir, particularly the Agriculture Committee (it’s called) packed with conservatives. However, there are 12 open seats on the committee now, Mr. OSM, if you understand. If we put some new men in there we may save Old Mrs. Zabriskie.” We gave a wink, but his attention was wandering. “On the economy,” he inquired, “anything new?” “Yes, real progress! The economic indicators keep dropping, but the President’s grasp is improving all the time. He now agrees there’s a have recession. That’s a breakthrough. We three problems, he says, Inflation, Recession and Energy (Inflation still No. 1). But Mr. Ford told us last week that our worst peril was not these, but anxiety. ‘Our greatest danger today,’ he said, ‘is to fall victim to the exaggerated alarms that are geing generated.’ We must put on our WIN button, and smile.” “The nuance escapes me,” said Mr. OSM. “At any rate you are making progress on arms - control?” “Why, yes,” I said. “At least I think so. We are moving triumphantly from breakthrough to breakthrough while the cost goes up. It’s a Little hard to explain. To make it perfectly clear after we are going to be even with Russia on the delivery systems, and on *MIRV-ing, but for a be will superior in the Soviets throw-weight, although by 1985 this will equalize out and Russia and America will alike be able to kill each citizen of the other state 14 times. Is that plain?” Our UFO visitor’s attention seemed to be wandering. We screwed up courage. “You get around,” we said. “You see a lot of small planets. Probably we all evolve much alike. Could you, would you, make any comparison for me. The Earth, I mean. It’s my globe and 1 love it.” It is not easy to fix the eye of a man with three heads, but we focussed on the middle one. while We must have shown concern. “Well,” he said, “don’t quote me but you are a very interesting case. Quite a text book specimen. We are all interested. You have 4 billion people- on Earth, no? Half of them hungry. Population growth, I note, has just broken through food growth, permanently, I believe. Population will double in 35 years, only of course, it can’t. Your own country (America, 1 think?) has 6 percent of the population, and uses 40 percent of annual available supplies.” “So what?” we pleaded. “Oh, nothing. Just the usual. I mean planets go through this process. In your case there’s the simultaneous weapon growth; quite a example; classic annual world military expenditures currently around $240 billion (larger than the total income of the poorer half of mankind). In 20 years you will be spending four trillion for self-defense, according to one of your research groups, the Institute for World Order, Inc., C. Douglas Dillon, chairman of the board. So-o-o. Look around: Israel has enough plutonium for several A-bombs; the Arabs will have; India puts a nuclear explosion before - feeding her starving; proliferation proceeds . . “So,” we stammered, “what generally happens?” He looked at me meaningfully. “Sometimes they do; sometimes not come through, I mean. Oddly enough a lot may depend on how you - handle your Mrs. Zabriskie.” He saw my wondering look. “Yes, there seems to be a definite correlation, though we don’t fully understand it yet; the Mrs. Zabriskie quotient in Planetary Survival . . , Well, maybe I’ve said too much. I must be going. I hope, ah, I hope your Earth is still around when I come through pext time.” �Steinem and Hitler | Day Care statement To the Editor. 8 "8 0) t With all the suffering and starvation in the world, one wonders why U.B. would waste all that money to hear a radical and one who advocates murder (abortion) like Gloria Steinem. Hitler thought the same as Ms. Steinem and 1 am sure the very same students that deplored what Hitler did were brainwashed with her so-called intellectual talks. Whether a human is 90 or unborn yet, it’s still a human being and abortion is murder. a woman name withheld upon request Don’t look now, but we have done in another semester. Granted there may be a few little odds and ends like exams and pepers and who knows what all else left for some of you, the end is nevertheless nigh. For me it is the more or less usual “How the hell did that happen? It was right here a minute ago, how could anything disappear that fast?” Poof! And in a cloud of strange blue vapor the semester vanished before his amazed eyes. My neurosis functions such that it is hard for me to stay in touch with the things that I did get done this semester. What 1 tend to be more aware of, painfully more aware of, are the things which are yet undone. Which seems to be an unfortunately prevalent way of looking at things, both internally and externally. Many of us seem much better equipped to live as pessimists than as optimists. Perhaps you are one of the more together folks who can come into this time of year, the semester and the year ending, without thinking about what you would like to change. What, after all, are New Year’s resolutions about except trying to deal with those parts of yourself which bother you, at least a little? This year things are going to be different. That’s what it says here. It said it right here somewhere what did I do with that piece of paper that I wrote all those wonderful ideas down on? (Little does he know that his crafty unconscious has struck again, and that poor innocent piece of paper shall never be uncovered.) Writing down what I want to get done next semester, and how I want to do it differently, is no great difficulty. Behaving differently is a problem of an entirely different nature. I hereby resolve that I will not get anxious next year. Wonderful idea. How does one in fact accomplish this worthy end? Could stay drunk a * lot, but then I get anxious about that, so it doesn’t exactly work. Change turns out to be a rather delicate phenomena. Either you want it badly enough so that you get down on it, and do it, or else it is always possible to find reasons why it is unsafe, unwise, or too damned scarey to behave differently. by Stme ■But enough philosophy. You will deal with the end of this semester somehow, and you will either come back or not, depending on you and your relations with the University and the world. (That is my standard cosmic wrap.) There is a clear problem with column to this point. The closest 1 can come to describing it is free association. Someone reacted to last week’s work as being a little loose around the edges, and I have an inkling that the construction of the current masterpiece may not in fact be following standard lines of construction. End of semester columns are murder for me. The problem seems to be a need to draw everything together, to synthesize it all down into one discrete gem of wisdom that will make all of us feel better. Which, it seems likely, is a trifle crazy. How the hell am I going to get the Holiday Season, the end of the semester, the economy, the political situation, and the indifferent quality of life in general into one small package that you probably don’t want to hear from me anyway? Weird, Steese, very wierd. Maybe we should just handle it sequentially and call it quits. Holiday Season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. If you are spending it with your family and you get off on that, congratulaiions. If you are spending it with your family and it is hard, it might help to remember that they probably know that too, and don’t know what to do about the situation any better than you do. If, on the other hand, it is bad, very bad, you might recall that the odds are that you are at least as all right as they are. Good luck, and don’t drive when you’re trying to change your head around with whatever. End of Semester. If it ain’t done by now, that is too bad. You might try not beating yourself up as much and try to patch it together as much as possible, and think about starting around the 1st of April - meetings with Dr. Ertell. Editor's note: The following statement was submitted by the U.B. Day Care Center, Inc. to The We have not yet received a copy of his October 27 proposal, which he promised to send to all the Spectrum. parents, and we have had no written response to our letters. Phone conversations have produced no definite information about the progress of the proposal. Up to this point, Dr. Ertell has been “unable” to meet with the parents and staff of the Day Care Center. However, there is a proposed meeting with Dr. Ertell and the Day Care Center on December 12, 1974. We have gathered some information from individuals working on the consortium. The following is briefly what we have been able to find The end of the semester is rapidly approaching. The question of whether or not there will be a Day Care Center next semester is still unanswered. There have been many articles and letters in the campus papers about the Day Care Center’s funding struggle. We would like to take this opportunity at the semester’s end to present a summary of what has happened in the past month so that Day Care supporters on campus know how matters stand with the Day Care Center as of now, December 6th. As reported in The Spectrum Nov. 1 and the Reporter Oct. 3 1, Dr. Ertell and other administrators offered a plan for the continuance of the Day Care Center to the U.B. Day Care Center parents on Sunday, Oct. 27. Their proposed plan (as summarized in the Reporter Oct. 31) stated: 1. that the University is serious in its desire to maintain the Center in operation for the balance of the current semester, for the second semester of this year, and thereafter. 2. that a consortium of academic schools and departments will undertake an immediate effort to design an academic program centering on the Day Care Center and to identify resource needs. 3. that there will be full consultation with parents in the program design. We have not been approached for “full consultation.” We have tried to get information from Dr. Ertell through letters and phone conversations regarding what “immediate effort” was being made. We have taken the initiative in trying to set up out. The consortium of academic departments is in the process of brainstorming and discussing plans for an academic program that would include an expanded model Day Care Center, but these plans are long-range plans. They are not plans that deal with how to continue this Center next semester. The consortium was not set up for funding, but for developing a viable academic program. At this point, the consortium is not taking responsibility for searching for funds. Most importantly, we have not been approached for consultation, as Dr, Ertell’s Oct. 27 proposal outlined. In light of the information we’ve been able to accumulate, the question that really needs to be addressed is, how serious is the University Administration in its intent to work for the Center’s continuance? The answer to that question will determine the future of the Center. Pragmatic bullshit for exactly the same reasons people are beginning to now; unresponsive administrators, mass oppression both sexist and national, the people’s most basic needs not being met and a press that was content to print official dogma at the expense of the truth.

It doesn’t make any difference if it is worth buying anything, buy it anyway. (Whoops, sorry, didn’t mean to mix the items. There is a distinct hint of the indifferent quality of life in that last remark.) All you selfish people who are out there worrying about how you are going to pay your bills are going to drive this company into serious financial difficulty. The political situation. My god, the Democrats did not commit suicide when they had the chance. What the hell does that mean? Having never seen that happen before how can anyone analyze the possible effects? Ridiculous. There must not have been a convention. How can you put 1200 Democrats in one place and not have somebody walk out. Preposterous.

Enjoy Maybe we can get it straightened out next year. ... We are well aware that this is not 1969 and what we would have to-say in answer to you is that this is 1959 either. We’re sorry to have to inform you that the “silent ’50’s" are “long gone.” One thing we did learn during the 60’s was how to deal with bureaucrats and careerists like yourself. The descent (sic) you have been so cynically been watching, around the Day Care Center and around Women’s Studies, is a tool which has been used for thousands of years by the oppressed to fight for their rights. The “pragmatism” voiced in Friday’s editorial brings to mind the Nixon-Agnew rhetoric of the Vietnam War years, when they could, no longer ignore the people’s righteous demands. I would be the first to vote in favor of cutting off all funds for The Spectrum A newspaper which is sadly out of date and under the control of the UB administration and state authorities. A paper which ignores its constituency’s needs and desires in favor of its staffs career interests in towing the authorities’ line. You are making it clearer and clearer to more and more of us that our only hope is in’mass and open descent (sic). The reasons people rebelled during the 60’s were not and insane war until late 1970 when what millions of young people had been saying for years could no longer be denied with the rational (sic) of “pragmatism.” (One of our nation’s greatest and most dubious self proclaimed pragmatists was, Richard Nixon) The people are rising to the challenge once again of the “misleaders” and lackies of what you describe as “the bureaucratic central body.” (In other circles they are referred to as the Ruling Class, the U.S. Imperialists or the Ruling Elites) And as th®£» momentus (sic) time approaches with the looming collapse of the economy, The Spectrum will see its mistakes and opportunism and change by its own volition or be crushed by the wrath of the oppressed. You see Mr. Kraftowitz, you are really very/ insignificant and few will be sad to see you leave Thi Spectrum as soon as possible. Michael Douso Grossly inaccurate reporting To the Editor. “Are students short-changed by farcicial the title for a commentary on a representatives?” Food Service Advisory meeting. Let me try to clear up a few points for the readers of The Spectrum. My hope is two-fold: 1) Facts were grossly misstated and clouded under the guise of a commentary; 2) Frankly, I don’t believe the statements in the article represent either the true points of the discussions at the meeting or the way I conduct my - office. The reason, specifically, for this meeting was to discuss next semester’s board contracts. It bacame apparent quite early in the meeting that this was an impossible feat. Mr. Bozek was not trying to be evasive, but without an operating financial statement for even the first quarter, how can he realistically discuss next semester’s contracts? Ms. Zuckerman, only a reporter for four weeks, is then able to say “this stalling seems to be a trend with the acting Food Service Director.” At this point the article becomes absurd. When I read some of the statements I reportedly made, I asked myself, what happened to all the words in between the quotes? I’ve always thought that one uses dots when words are omitted from As far as the food coupon system goes, it is definitely true that the coupon system has “screwed” a lot of students out of a lot of money. For this reason, I questioned Mr. Bozek about making this more clear next semester. However, I the went to Student Association lawyer approximately five weeks ago to get a legal opinion on this semester’s coupon situation. Mr. Weber also did much research in this area. It was clear that it was stated in three places in the contract that the coupon books expired at the end of the semester. 1 wonder if Ms.iuckerman has ever done any research concerning Food Service. In fact, I wonder if she has ever even read a Food Service coatract. Certainly, she never came to me after the meeting and asked me what was going on. No, it was easier to criticize indignant, I guess because I did not want her at the meeting. The reason for that was that one tends to get reporters at these meetings who have no knowledge on the subject. They don’t ask questions then they report inaccurately. Finally, I too, would like to ask about students being short-changed. Are students short-changed by your inaccurate reporting and innuendo? Take a look at yourself Ms. Zuckerman, it’s always easier to criticize. - - Howard M.

Kent State concealment off To the Editor. To the Editor. Since December 8, 1974, there is a condition which exists in Norton Hall each cold day in Winter known as “Pneumonia Alley.” The wind whips through the first floor, causing temperatures to drop, so that working conditions are unhealthy to the individuals who work in Norton, especially those at the Information and Lobby Counters, and our Maintenance men, who are constantly on call. The employees lose many days each winter due to the colds, and illnesses caused by the necessity which forces them to remain on call and on duty, not to mention the money spent on doctor bills. These complaints have been on record as of that date, right up and through the Department of Facilities Planning, and each year the reason is NO — - MONEY FOR THIS CAPITAL EXPENDITURE. All is it because pleas for help have gone unanswered it only affects clerical and maintenance personnel? I am sure no administrator, if he or she were forced to work under these conditions, would tolerate the situation, and would probably not even show up for work until the situation was corrected. With the facilities of our Engineering and Architecture Schools, 1 was sure a solution would be forthcoming The decision by Judge Battisti to dismiss the legal'accusations against eight former Ohio.National Guardsmen merely continues the concealment of the murders at Kent State in a more disguised fashion. the instruments of legal By hiding behind technicalities the decision has accomplished a dual purpose. First, the acquittal seeks to camoflage the triumph of reaction under the pretense of having the charges dismissed through the trial process, sanctifying its “legality.” Secondly, the trial was terminated before the guardsmen were forced to testify preventing us once again from learning: Was there an order to fire given by the officers? What caused a group of armed troops to turn in unison firing into a crowd of anti-war demonstrators? As one of the students wounded in May. 1970, I am deeply angered by this judgment. Yet. while being personally outraged in the deepest sense, I can hardly claim astonishment at the outcome. Similar to the federal court actions nullifying the case against the Mississippi Highway Patrol for murdering Afro-American students at Jackson State, the verdict of Battisti vividly indicates which class justice serves. This, of course, is the class of financial rulers who first designed and assembled the legal apparatus. While it is understandable that many will be left cynical by the decision, our efforts at securing justice should not cease. Rather, we must intensify our attempts to struggle for democratic rights and against violent police repression. We would do well to remember, however, that future Jackson and Kent States are inevitable, being a manifestation of the rule of monopoly capitalism. It is our ultimate responsibility to eradicate the rule of war, injustice and aggression once and for all. Thomas M. Grace — but where is the money??

HELP? — Norton employees Unequal photography To the Editor. obtaining a copy of The Spectrum Monday morning I was surprised to see a picture of only Gloria Steincm on the front page. During the promotion of the Sexism, Racism and Black Feminism lecture, both Ms. Steinem and Ms. Galvin Lewis were given equal exposure. At the Upon lecture noth Ms. Steinem and Ms. Lewis were given equal time to speak on eqaully pertinent subject matter. Yet, in your coverage, you did not reflect this equal relationship between the two speakers. Any line-by-line coverage is undercut by the lack of Ms. Lewis’ photo. For after all, a picture is worth a thousand words. I’m sure many other students feel the same way I do about this unfortunate oversight. Craig Colton To the Editor. Does this University really consider aluminum tables and plugs “adequate cooking facilities?” It must, for that is, in essence, all that has been provided for the students living at Governor’s Residence Halls. The lack of proper facilities poses tremendous problems for the students. Because of this, many people have taken to cooking in their rooms, which is both unlawful and potentially dangerous, but nevertheless inevitable, since there are just not enough “plugs” to go around. It is the obligation of the University to provide a safe and equitable alternative to those students who prefer to cook. To alleviate this problem, the University and more adequate should provide cooking facilities. Peter Hill Page sixteen The Spectrum Wednesday, 11 December 1974 . To the Editor The following is in response to the letter which appeared in the Dec. 9 issue of The Spectrum. In his letter. Mr. George J. Glacaman makes a few erroneous statements, takes things out of context, and appears to view the situation in the Near hast like a man X0 percent blind. In paragraph three he makes his biggest error which would seem more like an outright lie. “The Palestinians did not become refugees because of the |94X war. but the war resulted because the Palestinians were dispossessed and evicted from their homes and land." In correcting you Mr. Glacaman. I will not use the traditional Israeli. American and other Western documentation, but will allow the Arabs to speak for themselves. Semptember 6, 1948: Beirut Telegraph Mr. Emile Ghoury, Secretary of the Palestine Arab Higher Committee: “The fact that there are these refugees is the direct consequence of the Arbs states in opposing parition . . . the Arab States agreed upon this policy unanimously, and they must share in the solution of the problem.” February 19, 1949; Falastin (Jordanian Daily Newspaper) “The Arab States which No response had encouraged Palestine Arabs to leave their homes in order to be out of the way of the Arab invasion armies, have failed to keep their promises to help these refugees.” October 12, 1963; Akhbar El-Y Om (Cairo Daily Newspaper) “15 May 1948 arrived on that very day the Mufti (of Jerusalem) appealed to the Arabs of Palestine to leave the country, because the Arab armies were about to enter and fight in their stead against the Jewish gangs and oust them from Palestine.” There have been many U.N. resolutions. The one that could have produced peace in the Near East was passed on November 29, 1947. That resolution giving birth to the Jewish State of Israel and an Arab State in Palestine. Up until this day, Mon. Dec. 9, 1974 there has yet to be a single Arab State that recognizes that resolution as valid and, as a result recognizes the Jewish State’s right to existence. Here lies the crux of the issue. There is no recognition by any Arab authority of Israel’s right to exist as an independent Jewish State. There is therefore no basis for negotiation or peace and there will be no real negotiation or peace until there is that recognition. If you do not believe that these facts that I have mentioned are the truth or that they exist, Mr. Glacaman, you are invited to Room 346 Norton to see them for yourself, in print. ... Samuel M. Prince, Israel Information Center the from administration To the Editor. Better cooking . Indisputable facts nothing has been offered. As a parent in the Day Care Center I feel you analysis of Day Care tactics in the Dec. 5 issue of The Spectrum (trying to regain past protest feelings, the administration’s resistance and student apahty) is completely accurate. There has been NO substantive response. We would accept “academic justification.” None has been offered. 1 fully expect that late this week, during finals and after no more issues of the paper are avilable, we will be told that the University is $300,000 in debt and since we have found no “justification” we will have to go. The speculation about a department-related Day Care Center is just a smoke screen, a pie in the sky model Day Care Center that may be dropped as soon as this Center disappears. And if it is not dropped, it still cannot possibly be implemented in less than a year or two. However, you leave one very wrong impression. You seem to say we “day care advocates” have refused to accept a realistic proposal, that is, a day care with “academic justification.” On Oct. 27, at a Day Care Center general meeting with Dr. Ertell, we voted to accept his to operate the day care center proposal providing an academic program focused on the center and designed to meet the educational needs of Nothing concrete is being done to allow a day children and educational goals of the University can care center of any kind to survive here next be designed and supported by faculty of the semester.

The music is in orchestration, very medieval in the use of modal harmonies, in the baroque vocal arrangements. The singers are dressed in robes. They sing, in proper British tones: Down with sex and sin, down with pot, heroin Down with pornography, down with lust Down with vice, lechery and — debauchery. They minuet between verses. On the screen behind them, turn-of-the-century porno stills flicker in succession. Shades of the Dark Ages, the Inquisition, the Victorian Age, hypocricy, all in a flash. Ray Davies also shone within this framework. It’s pretty obvious that there’s more than a touch of the hammy vaudevillian in him, and he really got a chance to demonstrate. He snapped off corny jokes like: “I’ve got a melancholy baby. She’s got a body like a melon and a head like a cauliflower (yuk yuk).” In the role of Flash, he “goes on TV” (stands inside a cardboard front of a TV, held up by two Floosies) to tell his side of the story to the nation. In his best Art Fern voice: They say I'm the scum of the earth They say I’m the scab of the trilbies They’ve got no style. Ain’t it a pity We don’t cry, even though it’s true, and we should. The vocal renditions by all the singers were quite excellent. A lot depended on those renditions, which had as much effect on the impact of the songs as anything else. But Belle was apathetic to the hilt, whoever it was that sang “Mirror of Love” was sufficiently raunchy to be into the sado-masochistic trip the song describes, and Davies, of course was magnificent, slithering and slimy or pompous and pretentious. It was the touches of brilliance that sustained the interest at an intense level more than anything else. Mr. Black appearing only on a screen, like the depersonalized image he represents (Big Brother), the robot masks and dance during “Artificial Man,” and Flash’s fight-dance to maintain his humanity (he fails). The flashy “Flash theme,” that sounds like the theme to some grade B Italian spy movie, is played in conjunction with strobe lights and voices like guns: “Flash (pow!) Flash (pow!) FlashFlash! (powpow!) It is interesting to note that the most well-rounded and sympathetic character on the albums the Tramp never appeared in the live show.

We think the right to determine whether the presence of men is appropriate in certain classes is a vital component part of that right to self determination. Historically such terms as “mankind,” “fellow man,” “brotherhood” and masculine pronouns (he, him, etc.) have been used to stand for all human beings. This reflects the ideology of sexist societies. The Chartering Committee’s creation of a false issue around WSC’s generic use of the word “she” is really an attack on the right of women both in and outside of WSC to effectively address issues relevant to their own lives in the most concrete and meaningful way for women. In a society where the ruling class (represented at the University by the Administration) can only be served by the oppression of the masses, it is crucial that all people recognize the source of their oppression and unite in a struggle to smash the oppressor: monopoly capitalism. Cutbacks by the ruling class of social services to working class people, women, and minority groups, are a direct attack on the existence of these people. The struggle over the right of people to have control over the institutions that directly affect their lives (Women’s Studies, day care centers) represents the people fighting back against the ruling class, who attempt to maintain the class system that only serves ruling class needs.

He is intolerant of the bullshit of the outside world. The plot revolves around the attempts of the New York City Bureau of Child Welfare to take Nick away because of an “unsuitable home environment” (Murray is unemployed, and what is even worse, unmarried), despite the very apparent affection between Nick and Murray. When several months of phone calls and letters from the Bureau fail to reach Murray, the team of psychologist Dr. Sandra Markowitz (played by BarbarA Mink) and social worker Albert Amundson (Sid Ehrenreich) shows up to examine the situation firsthand. The pair walks into the house one morning as two engaged professionals and have changed greatly by the end of their session with Murray. Mr. Amundson can only deal with him on a nearly clinical level (every third word being “professional”), while Murray will only answer on a practical, experiential level. Dr. Markowitz, on the other hand, senses that the case should be examined on grounds other than the ones in the book.

When Murray sends Nick off to his “alcove” (it’s a one-room apartment) and takes the job from Herman, Nick accuses him of selling out, of prostituting himself for respectability. Murray knows he’s right, but all he can do is grimace. He loves Nick too much to tell him what was at stake. In the end, Murray, Nick, and Sandra are united as a respectable (more or less) lousehold although Sandra ieems to be the only one really and it looks like tappy about it Nick will stay. To their credit, the members of the Jewish Center production Jon’t treat the ending as a happy -one.

Murray gives a monologue about why he wants to keep Nick, why he wants him to know the difference between chairs and people, and why he wants to give him a little individuality in a mass world. Sandra nods, but doesn’t have the slightest idea of what he’s talking about. Murray goes to his brother Arnold (Irv Weinstein), who’s a network executive, and ends up swallowing his pride and getting his old job back. In telling him to do so, Arnold delivers, a fine monologue explaining that although he might be an inhibited executive who’s not doing what True clowns Tom Mardirosian, the only he wants, he is doing the best he can.

Terror and anxiety merge, not only within the paper and sculptural mass, but within the mind and soul of the viewer. Only a master like abstract expressionist Willem De Kooning could inject such energy and horror, usually reserved for larger, more “major” works, into small drawings and sculptures. The present exhibition of these works at the Albright-Knox Gallery, which 19, continues through January demonstrates that for De Kooning the monumental in art is not dependent on size, but on the unity of form and conception. Spanning over forty years, the drawings reflect the development of De Kooning’s oil paintings and their motifs the human figure (expecially that of the female), the landscape, and pure abstraction. Yet, the graphic works are not subservient to the paintings; instead, they are independent and totally complete in both conception and form. Their excellence and force establishes them as the focal point of the exhibition. — No more fine lines In the majority of De Kooning’s works the “fine line” that separates painting and drawing is totally erased; brush and charcoal strokes merge into one, with the result that painting becomes drawing and drawing becomes painting. The graphics of this exhibition are no exception. Sweeping paint-like gestures dominate, and smudging and erasures create a brush-like blending effect. His non-objective ink drawings are totally paint-like with their bold black brushstrokes, yet they have the linearity traditionally associated with drawings. It is the personal gesture and the energy it unleashes that De Kooning creates by wiping away that “fine line.” And in the great abstract expressionist tradition, it is the process, the act of creating art, that his drawings center on. In his drawings, the images become the foundation for exploring the structure, elements, and processes of art. Forms that constitute the basic image, such as eyes, are echoed throughout and form an architectural setting where the harmonies and tensions of design are brought into play. Erasures, redefinition of lines, overlapping of forms all reveal thought processes of the artist as he creates the work of art. Yet, these echoes of the act of creation do not distract from the whole, but are intrinsically part of the total conception. Small but vicious Although the process is a key to the violent nature of the works, the images themselves are not exactly peaceful. Large glaring eyes, grinding teeth, voluptuous the same agony and anxiety that pervades breasts, massive hips, and spiky shoes his figurative works. That spirit is definitely not weakened in devour the viewer. Stringy hair becomes an Kooning’s sculptures. Deformity to De entagling net for anyone who dares reaches its height in these clay figures colors come near.

These dominated De Kooning’s art are no less wickedly while limbs are retched out of vicious in small drawings than they are in their sockets and placed on a nearby bench. But, again, it is not so much the his large oils. Every line, erasure, and blank space is figurative motif that is the key to the filled with boundless energy, and all works as it is the surface, the gesture, the combine to convey a mad maenad of act of creation. De Kooning’s swipes of Dionysian rites, or, in a more energy are brought to three-dimensional existence through the easy malleability of contemporary analogy, a vampire-like more realistic movie goddess.

Editor's Curtis Bennet Arthur J. Lalonde Jr. A disgruntled student No the "Yes' review To the Editor In reference to Ms. Wos’ review of possibly the finest concert that Buffalo will experience this year: it shits. She obviously shows herself to belong to that mindless mass of Grand Funk, Bobby Rydell freaks. Tell me, how much of Yes have you seen? Evidently very little. Your snide comments about the set, granted that it is gimmicky, the set which would appear to be one of the most finely engineered, useful and original in many a year, shows your inexperience in the technical aspects of the concert and the effect that the stage itself adds to the totality of the show. Tell me please, when was the last time any groups attempted half the effects of Yes, and was able to pull them off? Was it perhaps the old Fillmore(s)? The degree that the set and the effects used contributed to the show merit them being recognized as more than “a cute little outhouse.” And the music. Being extremely familiar with the work of Yes, and having seen them on every U.S. tour that they've done, I would not rate this concert as the best. For almost any of the innumerable other groups who perform here it would have been great, but for a Yes concert it was just very good. They are perfectionists in their show and usually the tightest band around. This time they were not as light as usual, possibly because of the newness o* Moraz to the group. He was off at the beginning of the show, but later got better. Moraz is not Wakeman, not by a long shot. He is not nearly as classically oriented as Wakeman, but plays more like a Keith Emerson, but far superior. If you have trouble getting into their music and they bore you (. . . “overstretching themselves . . .") don’t see them or say anything about them until you are capable of understanding them. Their music is made to be listened to, tasted, savored, followed and meditated upon. No one else can or does perform and write the intricate works that Yes does. Their individual pieces are like themes, movements concertos, with separate throughout . stand Lastly, how can you argue that they in place like statues with smiles painted on their faces . . .”? Firstly, they do move around quite a lot, didn’t you see Chris Squire’s antics? Secondly, if you want to go to a concert to see some clowns bopping . around on a stage, clowns, I might add, incapable of playing decent music, then go see the New York Dolls, Grand Funk, or Golden Earring, not Yes. Yes is perhaps one of the most humble groups, not at all on a superstar trip, in regards to their music and performance. No group could enjoy or be so involved in what they do more than Yes. And no one could do what Yes does set-wise, effect-wise, and musically. It is truly a shame that the majority are not ready to appreciate or say “YES.” Steven Milligram □ID YOU LOSE $67.00 You did, if you haven’t filled out the S.R.

WITH THESE Arab terrorist last month, and has pledged to “try the hijackers.” In the Daily World, November 9, journalist Tom Foley explains that the PLO opposses terrorism, and views terrorist acts as an excuse for Israel to massacre helpless Arab refugees. Mr. Foley writes: “The terrible losses they (Palestinian Arabs) suffered from the terrorist acts of the sinister “Black September” group (never associated with the PLO in any way), which carried out the Munich massacres, led Arafat to demand PLO court-martials for terrorists.” It is racist and destructive to equate all Arabs with the acts of a few criminal terrorists, just as it would be incorrect to equate all Americans with the terroristic acts of the Klu Klux Klan or the American Nazi Party. What then does the PLO want? Arafat has made this clear over and over: “We are not trying to kick anyone into the sea. Our ultimate strategic aim is to create a united, democratic Palestine in which Christians, Jews and Moslems can live together in terms of equality. This will come aboutwhen a new generation of Israelis grows up and understands the mistakes of the older group” the mistakes of Zionist philosophy. — Jews and Arabs united Israel must return all occupied lands seized in the 1967 war immediately, and steps must be taken by the U.N. to relieve the misery of the displaced Arabs. Bilateral talks must then proceed between Israel and the PLO to determine the structure of a united Palestine which will bring peace to the Middle East. Mr. Arafat concludes: “There are already many signs that this is being understood inside Israel . . I not only hope the Israelis one day will accept this, but I predict that they will.” .

Eaat/Thruway Exit B2E - Vomado, Inc, 1874 �Basketball Bulls bow to Niagara by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer “We just had a bad game,” assessed Buffalo Basketball coach Leo Richardson, following the Bulls’ 77-58 loss to Niagara Monday night. The Bulls were not at all tike the tean that had beaten Long Island University last week; the patience they displayed then was gone and so was their outside shooting. “We just don’t have the guards to match their guards,” said richardson. “[Chico] Singleton is the best guard I’ve seen all year. He was the key to their success.” Singleton beat the Bulls sowncourt on several occassions and scored easy lay-ups. The Bulls frontcourt did better, despite the presence of two 6-8 freshman in the Purple Eagles’ lineup, for the first time this year, the Bulls outrebounded their opponents (69-48), but the horrendous shooting (26 percent) nullified the advantage. Jim Slayton led the way for Buffalo with 18 caroms, whle Sam Pellom pulled down 17. Total subbing At one point, Niagara coach Frank Layden substituted all five spots at once, a rare move. “They practice as a unit,” Layden noted. “It gave us a nice rest. Vem [Watson] played the whole game last time and I’ve got to give him and Bruce [Allen] a rest.” the Purple Eagels also switched to a zone defense, a break from the traditional man-to-man they usually play. “We’re doing this to stop fouling,” Layden explained. The zone was primarily responsible for keeping Pellom out of the Bulls offense. It also forced the Bulls to shoot from the outside instead of going for the good percentage penetration shots. Bad clock The Bulls could not get their shots to drop and fell behind early in the first half, which, because of trouble with the scoreboard clock was 21 minutes long. (Collegiate Basketaball plays two 20 minute halves.) The second half micht also have been longer than regulation because the scoreboard continued to malfunction. A substitute was found, but unfortunately, it could not be stopped after it was started. Finally, a makeshift system was devised using the broken scoreboard and two “designated scoreboard watchers” who noted and compensated for each malfunction as it occurred. Buffalo has been inconsistent all year, something they cannot afford to be with their tough schedule. They will have a chance to get back on the winning track tonight when they will play Brockport. On a brighter note, the Junior varsity Bulls surprised everyone with a 109-81 triumph over Niagara. Center John Conlon was the high scorer with 23 points. CATCH UPON YOUR SOCIOLOGY ON THE WAT HOME.

The Faculty-Senate Executive Committee then recommended that the policy of granting four credits for three hours of course work by reevaluated. Subsequent subcommitte proposals included equating the number of contact hours with credit hours, adding fifteen minutes to every one hour class, adding an extra one hour class meeting per week, or making no changes at all.

The Editor of Ms. magazine and the founder of the National Black Feminist Organization, respectively, had been briefed beforehand on the WSC’s conditional charter, to be granted pending the adoption of a sexually non-exclusionary course policy. Questioned whether men should be admitted to certain restricted WSC courses, Ms. Steinem initially responded that such courses could be best taught outside the University. Ms, Lewis, taking the other point of view, maintained that single sex or single race classes are sometimes needed for open prehistory,” she said. Before paternity was understood, women were superior beings, worshipped as gods because they bore children and produced the soldiers and workers, she said. Bearing children was a mysterious act, which men envied and tried to imitate. But once conception and paternity were understood, men began to restrict the freedom of women to determine their own image. They began to give women the kind of work that was not rewarded. “Women’s work is anything men don’t want to do what we call shit work,” said Ms. Steinem. Cheap labor source Marked by the physical differences, women could not escape the discrimination. Other groups, marked by linguistic and racial differences, were also used as a cheap labor source. “There is no way to know if sexism was the prototype, but it is clear that the two kinds of castes women lose their lives. In discussing the myths about these groups, she noted that they can govern themselves "A black reporter can cover news of the black community and a woman can lead a typing pool." In addition, “Black there js the myth of “natural rhythm" people have musical rhythm and women have lunar rhythm." Still another myth is that which "gigantic- industries have built on our smell. How can anyone who has ever passed a locker room believe this myth?" Ms. Steinem asked. Watergate involvement Jane Galvin Lewis loves to talk about the black non-involvement in Watergate. "We were not there, and neither were women,” she said. "The sad part is that we have never allowed to participate that fully to be that corrupt.” Ms. Lewis also amused the predominantly white female audience with her account of the "suntan situation.” "White people try to burn themselves to death, and in September, they become so worried when it fades,” she said. Reviewing the historical linkages between sexism and racism, she discussed the first wave of feminists, the suffragettes, comparing them to the abolitionists, who fought for the rights of slaves. She also pointed out that black women may gain more right of their own by fighting alongside other women. They earned the right to vote along with the women in the I920's, not with the black men in the 1860’s, she said. In the door Gloria Steinem out of closed discussions. But women are even these courses, she added. Ms. Steinem then reneged on her first comment, suggesting that the best solution would be to offer parallel courses for men and to combine the classes at the end of the semester to discuss any differences. Ms. Steinem later told WSC representatives that her investigations had confirmed that such parallel courses would be legitimate under Title IX of the Education Act, which prohibits sex discrimination in being education. Romantic’ impact Regarding the generic use of the word “women" in the WSC charter, both Ms. Steinem and Ms. Lewis felt it had a “romantic” impact at first, letting men feel what it is like to be excluded from such a term. Practically, though, they believed the best term to use in the charter would be something neuter, like “they.” At the opening of the presentation in the “heart of jockocracy,” as Ms. Steinem referred to Clark Hall, she gave an anthropological explanation for the parallel between racism and sexism. “The question ‘If you’re so smart, then why aren’t you rich?’ can only be answered by the thousands of years of - Krzystek. - for cheap labor have been interdependent throughout history,” Ms. Steinem observed. “We have come to believe that they [racism and sexism) must and can only be fought together." Acknowledging that the suffering of these groups is different, though, she explained that white women lose their identities, while third world —Breslaver More than 300 supporters of the Women’s Studies College (WSC) rallied in the Fillmore Room Thursday in response to the College Chartering Committee’s recommendation last week to charter WSC only if it to end the exclusion of agrees men from certain courses and activities. ‘‘If Women’s Studies compromises to the conditions set by the Chartering Committee on the issue of men in classes, it would change the basis of our program and destroy years of work done in the College,” declared College member Ilene “The statement by Yoko Ono that 'woman is nigger’ is true. The revolving door of oppression is a love-hate situation,” she added. In talking about the problems common to white and black women, like rape, abortion, child care, and sterilization, she accused the press of giving generally inadequate coverage to the feminist movement. In a later interview, Ms, Steinem said that Ms. magazine was founded specifically for the purpose of giving more coverage to feminism. During the question and answer period, when complaints were mdde about the high-fashion, cosmopolitan type advertising in Ms. magazine, Ms. Steinem defended the publication by explaining that it tries to reverse the former “catalogue style” of women’s magazines. While most women’s magazines are one third editorial and two thirds advertisement, Ms. claims to be one third advertisement and two thirds editorial. Regarding the quality of the ads, “we have turned down $80,000 worth of advertising [and,] had to struggle to get our black ads,” Ms. Steinem said. She explained the difficulty in trying to get ads that are “class-free,” or that don’t appeal to the Cosmopolitan woman image. Ms. Steinem urged the audience to write to advertising agencies, who often take complaints about their ads into consideration in preparing future ads. Studies non-discrimination Although the Chartering Committee has not technically used Title IX as the basis for the conditions it has set, there has been concern about how the new law may affect the College. Title IX goes into effect Jan. 1, prohibiting sex discrimination in federally assisted education programs. The Chartering Committee’s primary concern is with discrimination in admission to courses. According to the law, the only time a sex biased criterion can be used is when it is “shown to predict validly successful completion of the education program or activity in question. The condition of men not being admitted to Women’s Studies 213 is a valid condition,” Ms. Handschu said. “Women’s Studies College does not violate Title IX.” It would take years and years to win a court battle, she warned, and “we may not reap the benefits” of a successful suit. Women’s Studies College was established to stop discrimination, and it is ironic that Title IX may be used against them, Ms. Handschu added, concluding that the College “is too much of a threat to the President of this University sitting up there high and mighty!” Asked if Women’s Studies is willing to negotiate the conditions set by the Committee, a member of the college answered vigorously, “They would like to believe it is a negotiable issue, but it is not a negotiable issue.” Another member explained that while the issue of men in courses is not negotiable, the procedure of exactly how that decision is made Another member of the College explained that it is not an issue of “no men” in Women’s Studies courses, because men are encouraged to participate in the majority of Women’s Studies courses. Consistent with national averages for Women’s Studies, nine percent of the students enrolled in the College’s courses are men. “Our experiences differ from a man’s experience in basic ways,” said Ms. Krzystek, “and this causes conflict in a class dealing with personal experience.” Women In Contemporary Society (WS 213), originally a co-ed class, is primarily an analysis of women’s lives in modern society. “When the course was coed, there were constant debates about oppression,” which lessed the effect of what could be done in the course, explained Sherry Darrow, a student in the introductory course. “In WS 213, there are many painful situations. Women speak of things they have never discussed before,” Ms. Darrow recounted. “Women learn that “In a sense, this struggle their pains are not their own, and those pains can come out with the concerns Women’s Studies help of other women,” she added, Colleges throughout the nation, drawing applause from the crowd. explained a WSC instructor, She concluded by explaining reiterating that “Where Title IX that Women’s Studies College is was established to work for their meeting the needs of the students, cause, it may turn around and and Women’s Studies should have work against them the power to determine when and Petitions were distributed at in what form men may participate the meeting, urging the in the College. rechartering of Women Studies Barbara Handschu, a lawyer, College in its present form, explained how Title IX of the including the College’s right to Civil Rights Act (pertaining to select those classes which exclude higher education), was formulated men.

Deadline changed for adding courses i New registration procedures? next spring will require students to prove they were closed out of a course during the first three weeks of the semester if they want to add that course between the third and sixth week. Previously, students were allowed to add courses unconditionally until the end of the sixth week of the semester. One reason the deadline will be moved up is that the huge amount of forced registration processed each year by Admissions and Records greatly increased paperwork. In addition, the old deadline placed the University at a disadvantage at budget request time because every unit of the State University of New York (SUNY) is required to tabulate its number of full-time equivalent students (FTE’s) three weeks after the start of each semester. FTE’s are used to determine the number of student credit hours taken at the University, a formula used in the determ nation of the University’s operating budget. Courses picked up between the third and sixth week of the term had never been previously considered for budgeting purposes. No stand There will be less opportunity for students to “fish” for courses, explained Dick Canale, director of registration. A student who drops a course after the first three weeks of the semester in the hope of adding another to retain full-time status will be unable to do so once the new procedures take affect. Mark Humm, Student Association (SA) Academic Affairs Coordinator, said SA “is taking no stand at this time,” but may ask for a delay in the new system until fall 1975 if it determines that the changes will adversely affect students. Other new procedures designed to smooth out present registration are projected for the fall but are awaiting approval, according to Bob Bailey, associate director of Admissions and Records. The new which have received informal approval from the guidelines Administration include allowing returning students to pre-register in April'to enable the University to predict student demand for particular courses. Schedule cards would be mailed out in June. Additionally, new computer terminals in Hayes Annex B will permit students to receive schedule cards immediately after adding or - dropping a course. Page two . The Spectrum . Monday, 9 December 1974 < — — - - More statistics Grade inflation peaked in spring 1970, when 31.4 percent of all grades given out were A’s. Using the fall 1965 base period, this meant inflation of slightly over 100 percent, or more than 20 percent annually approximately the same rate of economic inflation as that experienced by Iran. To complicate things still further, that semester appears to have been a fluke, a full 7.5 percentage points over the previous term and four percentage points higher than the following year. A more reliable picture emerges if the following semester’s figure (27.4 percent) is used, dropping the inflation rate to 77.3 percent or about 15.5 percent annually. Between fall 1970 and fall 1973, A’s dropped from 27.4 percent to 21.5 percent a 21.9 percent drop that translates into 7.3 percent annual deflation. But to make things even more complicated, the overall grade results for the three-year period indicate a levelling off. It is safe to predict that A’s will remain between 21-23 percent unless another round of inflation occurs. — — - What next? That possibility cannot be ruled out. As detailed in the last issue of The Spectrum, many schools have inflated their grades recently. While this University’s 41.6 percent A’s and B’s does not compare with Yale’s 42 percent A’s alone and American University’s 75 percent A’s and B’s, pressure to get graduates into other schools may force inflation. But no one will predict whether this pressure will result in another round of inflated grades. It is not known if grade inflation is a truly national phenomenon or one restricted to major universities that get more widespread media attention. Last year, for example, the Dean of Students at Texas Christian University released a memorandum complaining of “excessive” numbers of students on the Dean’s List. That “excessive” number was approximately 20 percent. �Student participation approved for Board President Robert Ketter has approved procedures for student participation in the activities of the President’s Board on Faculty Appointments, Promotion and Tenure. The procedures are an outgrowth of a Faculty Senate resolution passed last March which recommended the appointment of one graduate and one undergraduate, to serve as advisers to the Board. The resolution suggested that the students be allowed to attend meetings, examine dossiers to determine whether guidelines for soliciting student input had been followed, and to privde a broader base of input data to the Board. The procedures formulated by the Board stress the following each case at the meeting and may speak during the debate. The Board views the students as representing the University, rather than a department or Faculty, and therefore will not ask them to absent themselves or refrain from comment when cases from their departments are presented. This is an exception to the Faculty Senate recommendations, which suggested that the students not participate in such cases. The two students selected to serve with the Board are Elaine Mugel, a graduate student from the Department of Germanic and Slavic, and David Saleh, a senior from the Biology Department. The student representatives were chosen by Dr. Ketter from lists submitted by the Student Association and Graduate Student Association, and will serve for a one year term. - points: The student representatives are bound by all of the same rules of ethics and confidentiality binding the other Board members.

Do you want to know who these people are that you put into office? On Friday, Dec. 5. I attended a meeting between Faculty-Student Association (FSA) representatives and student government officials to discuss board contract problems. Food Service was represented by acting director Donald Bozek, managers Tom Modica and Bob Diekman and Mildred Durme, Food Service dietitian. Student representatives were Howard Schapiro, Student Association (SA) Student Affairs Coordinator, Inter-Residence Council (IRC) President Leigh Weber, and IRC Executive vice-president Perry Shustack. Let me begin by telling you the difficulties 1 encountered simply trying to attend this meeting. Permission for entrance was initially denied to any reporter from The Spectrum apparently because of objections by student representatives. Mr. Bozek stated over the phone that he had no objections to a reporter’s presence at the meeting, but Mr. Schapiro specifically said, “I don’t want reporters at that meeting." Stonewalling students So it was not an Administrative official, but your own Student Affairs Coordinator who believed he had the authority to prevent students from receiving important information. Students who have expressed discontent about Food Service, particularly members of IRC’s Resident Interest Group (RIG), who feel their grievances were adequately represented at Thursday’s meeting, are seriously mistaken. Nothing substantial was accomplished. Mr. Bozek was evasive, claiming inability to provide some information because he said he hadn’t met with some person or received this or that statement. This stalling seems to be a trend with the acting Food Service director. And instead of questioning his responses or trying to exert any sort of pressure, the student representatives passively accepted them, merely disregarding one question and going on to the next. Not only were student grievances not being represented, but after a while, 1 was beginning to wonder who was defending the students at all. Certainly not the “students" at the meeting. For example, Food Service officials are disturbed over the increasing theft of silverware and dishes, which it blames on students. Discussing the problem, Mr. Schapiro said, “Unfortunately, Food Service is looked at by students as an arm of the Administration trying to rip students off,” suggesting that Food Service should use the lowest grade of plastic silverware available to make students “feel” the problem. One observer was heard to mutter about Mr. Schapiro; “With students like that, who needs Gelbaum?” Students, particularly those on the North Campus, have expressed the desire for restoration of the weekend meal plan option which was discontinued after last September, Mr. Bozek said. It might be possible to open up one cafeteria for weekend meals if there were enough interested students and available funds. “If we have a weekend option opened, say at Ellicott, what would the reaction of Governors and Ellicott students be?” he asked rhetorically. Mr. Weber seemed to agree, maintaining, “Few Governors students would probably go over to Ellicott, and vice versa.” Why is Mr. Weber accepting Mr. Bozek’s interpretation when students have explicitly expressed the need for weekend meals. Not concerned The issue of food coupon books was also taken up. Students are disturbed because their left-over food coupons are non-redeemable, nor can they be extended for use next semester. Mr. Schapiro told Food Service that students are also complaining because they cannot read the coupons’ expiration date and have gone ahead to buy an excess of coupon books. “Okay, while I am not concerned about them, how can we make this (expiration date] clearer for the incoming students?” Although this coupon system has screwed a lot of students out of a lot of money, Mr. Schapiro apparently is not concerned! It is quite obvious from his statement just how much Mr. Schapiro is doing about the present coupon system. Most students seem to be discontent with Food Service. We must find representatives who will represent and fight fur student issues. Mr. Schapiro and Mr. Weber should be left to their poker games. Monday, 9 December 1974 . The Spectrum . Page three �Money maker Arts committee will publish poetry magazine this spring Students can look forward to a University poetry magazine this spring. Sponsored and edited by the UUAB Literary Arts Committee, the magazine will contain works by both University and community poets. Committee members decided not to limit access to University poets alone, feeling this would lead to an “elitist” viewpoint. They believe many excellent poets are working in the community and should have an opportunity to be heard. A board of editors will review all material submitted. There will be no single editor, as the publishers hope a group of editors will do a job better. Membership on the board of editors is open to anyone with an interest in poetry, who hope to comprise a diversity of backgrounds. The printing will be done by a local printing firm, with the assembling, packaging, and advertising handled by the committee itself. Members hope to distribute the final product in New York City as well as in Buffalo. The magazine will cost about 75 cents and all submissions should be in by Dec. 19. Run for the money The reason for the Literary Arts Committee’s decision to produce a poetry magazine is its urgent need of money. Its budget has been cut to 50 percent of last year’s. Funds are provided by Sub-Board, which finances about half of the total expenditures, but this year is requiring the committee to produce $600 of its own. An admission charge has been in effect at poetry readings this year, in another fund-raising attempt, which caused some students to object since the Literary Arts Committee is funded by mandatory student fees. Bonnie Gutnick, committee chairperson, agreed to let students in free if they promised to write a letter to The Spectrum and express their indignation to Sub-Board. The committee hopes the profits from the magazine will allow free poetry readings in the future. Two hundred dollars has been raised so far. Falling off the ladder The committee members feel that both the administration and Sub-Board want their group dissolved because it is not a money-making organization. They are at the low end of the funding spectrum when compared to music or film, they charge. The committee feels it has much to offer both students and the community in the way of poetry. Members are quick to point out that poetry should not be associated with “an old man with a British accent reading a poem written in I860.” Instead, modern poets are “alive and vibrant people who sing, by Howard Crane dance and live poetry.” Spectrum Staff Writer Ms. Gutnick feels that Sub-Board “couldn't care less” about the Literary Arts Committee,” and that Attempts to settle a strike by next year’s budget will not be higher.

No more money? whose average salary is almost S5000 less than that of their Buffalo public school counterparts are demanding a “living wage,” Mr. Boscaglia said. He pointed out that 94,25 percent of diocesan secondary teachers are paid below the minimum recommended income for a family of four in the Buffalo area. All of the teachers, according to Mr. Boscaglia, are below the middle income level. Many are even eligible for food stamps, he said. High tuition The SLTA, an organization whose contract does not fall under the jurisdiction '6f the- Taylor Law (.prohibiting strike* by* public employees), is also demanding a projection of job prospects from the' diocese. Tuition is now too costly for many families, and is not likely to decrease in the near future, both sides agree. This situation discourages many people from sending their children to security parochial schools. As a result, not only will the diocese have to close some of its schools soon, but it will also be unable to pay many well-qualified experienced teacher who are thus leaving parochial schools in increasing numbers.

Despite arguments by Mr. Nixon’s lawyers defending the former president’s right of privacy, U.S. District Court Judge Gerhard A. Gesell ruled that the public was entitled to hear the evidence presented at the Watergate coverup trial. “The tapes exhibits are in evidence and have therefore come in to the public domain and the public should hear them,” the Washington judge said. Mr. Nixon’s attorneys are expected to appeal the decision. — The only economic system that makes sense for our environment and energy system is a socialist one, the kind where the public decides what’s best for itself, said noted environmentalist Barry Commoner, Thursday evening before a large crowd in Acheson Hall. Dr. Commoner, a faculty member at Washington University in St. Louis, cited the implementation of a vast new technology in the post World War II period as the root of the present energy crisis. This technology, he explained, has revealed ways of making products that return greater profits, but consume more energy. Synthetics are one form of very inefficient energy usage, he charged, adding that they are widely produced because companies make more profit from them than from more conventional energy-saving materials. Dr. Commoner explained that the law of diminishing returns will inevitably affect our economy and energy productivity, because the more an exhaustible resource is used, the more costly it is to produce a given unit of it. Investments in the natural gas-producing industries must quadruple in the next few years if current supplies are to be maintained, he said, predicting that “by 1985 it will take 80 percent of-our total money supply to maintain our present supply level of oil.” — Public records Judge Gesell based his ruling on the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee that trials are the public domain and on the accepted practice of distributing copies of documents or photographs used as trial evidence to the press and public; Mr. Nixon has been pardoned, the judge said, and so he has the right to protest release by the court. But he has “no right to prevent normal access to these public documents which have already been released in full text after affording the greatest His words cannot be protection of presidential confidentiality retrieved. They are public property,” Judge Gesell declared. Release of the tapes will be delayed until after the trial, however, to allow time for tape copying and to provide an equitable, non-profit distribution system to avoid over-commercialization. The radio-tv networks’ claim that they should receive tapes under the First Amendment was rejected by Judge Gesell. who said the request was “without merit.” The judge has withheld final action on applications by radio-tv networks for access to the tapes until he finishes studying suggestions from the Special Prosecutor’s office, the Watergate defendants, and others, concerning how the tapes should be made public. * ... Public ownership His analysis of the energy crisis emphasized the need for public ownership of the utilities. Even though there was more gas in May 1974 than in May 1973, the average price per gallon has risen from S.35 to S.55 during that time, he pointed out. “We’re now at the crossroads where we have to decide in which direction we will go,” he warned. Dr. Commoner was strongly opposed to the construction of nuclear plants, because he feels such plants are not as efficient as they are supposed to be. Plants expected to operate at 80 percent capacity operate at only SO' percent, and some are not functioning at all. he claimed, adding that the cost of running the country on nuclear energy would be far higher than its proponents predict. In addition, nuclear plants operate with plutonium, a dangerous radioactive element which requires extensive safety and security precaution. Dr. Commoner indicated that protection for the plants THEATRE DEPARTMENT AUDITIONS for “APPLE PIE” would probably be provided by the military, warning against any connection between the armed forces and the nation’s nuclear energy sources. Solar energy He endorsed the future use of solar energy, calling it a cleaner, less expensive form of energy which is not affected by the law of diminishing returns because of its virtually unlimited supply. —Santos Barry Commoner If solar energy were used to heat every home in the country, it would account’for 15 percent of our energy usage, he estimated. The cost of installation of the necessary equipment would total S4000 per home, but in 10 years the equipment would have paid for itself in lowefed energy costs. Dr. Commoner said that solar energy is already far enough advanced to be mass procued tomorrow if need be.

Monday, 9 December 1974 The Spectrum Page five . . , �Editorial Opening up SA The last hope for representative student government on this campus may lie with the success of the Student Association (SA) budget survey being conducted this week in conjunction with class registration. The significance of the survey is two-fold: it will be the first major attempt to determine grass roots funding priorities, and, as such, is a concession by student government officers that they are largely incapable of discerning how students want their mandatory fees spent. The survey comes at a time when the credibility of student governments at most colleges and universities is at an all-time low. Despite pledges each year by candidates for office to transform student government into a more rep esentative body, student governments have ,D,OT 'OUR LANDS ARC ALL RIPPED OFF. Wl ARE SPOKEN FOR RY A WHOOPEE. TERRORISTS AND WE ARE RECOGNIZED BY THE U.N. — for the most part remained havens for small, elite cliques of students who are out of touch with and in many ways frowned upon by the student body. The annual election of 11 new SA officers at this campus has never been a mandate for them to carry out specific policies, as evidenced by the incredibly low voter turnout. Every year, it is the same old story. Several students band together, organize a ticket because of the dictates of political expediency, and run for elective office. In most cases, there are no clearcut distinctions between the candidates. Most seem pretty sincere about serving the interests of students, through whatever means; some would genuinely like to open up decision making to the general student body, but once elected, become elitist and hopelessly entangled in the bureaucracy; and the overwhelming majority these days seem reluctant to "rock the boat." Because of the virtual non-existence of platforms or definable issue positions, the lack of exposure each candidate gets because of SA's self-imposed two week campaign period, and student indifference, the campus publications have traditionally taken it upon themselves to try to inform students about what they feel are the relative merits of each candidate. As the publication whose endorsements have had a profound effect on the outcome of two of the last three elections, The Spectrum has not attempted to impose its will on the outcome so much as it has tried to compensate for a microcosmic election process, one that is exclusionary by nature. Having contributed to the election of many officers only to later criticize their performance in office, we make no pretense of either our ability or inclination to serve as a surrogate for the student body. If this campus is to begin moving away from a closed decision-making process, there will have to be a reciprocal effort by both students and student government representatives. This year's officers are at least trying to open the process up, as demonstrated by the effort that was made to set this weeks budget survey in motion, and it is now up to students to use this forum to articulate their budgetary preferences. As easy as it is these days to feel extremely cynical towards any any bureaucracy, particularly student government, students should at least be able to spare one or two minutes of their time to fill out the budget survey. A large response to the survey wilt in no way bring about the instant revival of student government, but as things stand now, there is no place to go but up. The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. 43 Monday, Editor-in-Chief *- Outside Looking In by Clem Colucci Now it can he told. Through some hard-hitting investigative reporting, this column has uncovered the secret plans of the professional and college football moguls to expand the sport into a 12 month moneymaking extravaganza. As you must know by now. ABC introduces Saturday Night Football next season, thus immobilizing millions ol Ians from the first minutes ol the college pre-game show at noon Saturday to the last seconds ol Monday Night Football. But this is only the beginning. The football promoters have plans for both pro and college football that will dwarf anything you've thought possible. These plans have been in the developing stages for years and. barring unforseen setbacks, will he announced sometime next season. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) shows real ingenuity in the'plans for college football. Trends in the sport for the past few years have been geared specifically to and a demand lor manufacturing an excuse the new step. The NCAA bigwigs have plotted for the Colton years, proliferating bowl games Bowl. Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl. Gator Bowl. Sugar Bowl. Blue Bonnet Bowl. Amos Alonzo to make it impossible Stagg Bowl, ad nauscum for anyone but a trained sports statistician to say which college team is the best. By next season, expect the NCAA, in conjunction with one of the -major networks (probably CBS), to announced that all bowl game winners will enter a post-post-season playoff series culminating in a Collegiate Super Bowl. With all the contenders, the Collegiate Super Bowl playoffs would extend the'season at least another six months: At that rate, the annual college All-Star game would be played entirely by pros halfway through their rookie seasons. But the pros have managed: unbejievable as and save the it may sound, to top even this World Football League (WFL) in the process. The — - — To the Editor: — Asst. .

These two teams would play an entire 1.4 game schedule against each other, and only against each other. If you think 14 games between the same two teams would be dull, recall the line-up. The Americans could start Oakland’s Kenny Stabler at quarterback with Miami's Paul Warfield as wide receiver and his teammates Larry C/onka and Jim Kiick as running backs. The Nationals could cash in on a personality battle like the Namath-Unitas clash in 1969 by starting the Giants' Craig Morton at the helm. If one team threatens to dominate the game, the two team coaches can trade players back and forth to balance things out. Though this might cause some confusion among the players it would make for an exciting season. The WFL champion, of course, would be the team with the best record at the end of the season, and as many playoff games as necessary. Pay attention, now, because it gets complicated from here on in. While the WFL goes through its season, the National Football League (NFL) would do the same and hold its annual Super Bowl game between the AFC and NFC champions. Then, the winner meets the WFL champs in the Super Duper Bowl. That takes us to the pre-season ...

It seems hopeless. Free enterprise .comes through again, however, and the WFL will thrive. The plan is to just two consolidate the WFL into two teams. One, the Americans, will consist of all players the WFL signed from the American Football Conference (AFC). The other, the Nationals, will do the same with the National Conference (NFC) players. Instead of trying to support several financially troubled teams that DSC or Alabama could beat with ten men on the field, the WFL would have two high quality teams that could match the best evet to play the At the Faculty-Senate meeting on Tuesday, December 3, two things became quite clear. First, the Faculty-Senate overwhelmingly supports the UB, Day Care Center arid the expansion of the Center’s services to Millard Fillmore College in the evening. (The crucial issue of parent control was voted down by two votes.) Secondly, as stated by Robert Ketter, “whatever the Faculty-Senate decides is quite meaningless because they can only make recommendations fo the administration." The first point puts the majority of the faculty clearly on the ■JSSSide of the progressive community oriented forces UB. The second clearly shows the true nature of the Universify. It should come as no surprise that our University isjun by a bureaucratic elite who, rather than fight for regressive programs like Day Care, chooses to cut back and negate the role of the University and its community as an innovator in meeting human needs. Using the ploy that a Day Care Center has no academic basis, the administration forces have been demonstrating this narrow elitest indifference to women, married students, minorities and the poor. As if the University could not benefit from these people's participation in the UB community; as if these groups cannot benefit from being able to attend the University. In summary, much to Ketter’s and the administration’s chagrin, the Faculty-Senate has taken a principled stand in making UB open to the participation of those who otherwise would be systematically excluded from the UB community. This leaves the faculty and students no choice but to fight against the University administration for the power over our lives. Ketter’s divisive and cynical program has completely isolated the administration for the University community. UNITK FOR DAYCARF! , Michael Douso �Peace in the Middle East To the Editor. It is unfortunate that Mr. H. Segal (The Spectrum Nov. 20) can in this day and age, still refer to the tragedy of the Palestinians as a simple “exchange of population.” What moreover confounds the matter is his apparent assumption that the conflict between Zionists and Palestinian Arabs stems from the attempt of the latter to deprive Zionists of a land that they have always inhabited and is rightfully theirs. The facts of the situation are, however, otherwise. to and until Up 1947, Palestine was preponderantly Arab. Benjamin of Tudela, a Jewish pilgrim who visited the Holy Land in 1171 A.D. found only 1440 Jews in all Palestine. Nahum Gerondi, in 1267 A.D. found only two Jewish families in Jerusalem. At the beginning of the 19th Century the Jews in Palestine numbered 8000, and at the time of the Balfour Declaration (1917) they represented less than ten percent of the total population of Palestine and owned two percent of the land. In 1945, according to the official records of the United Nations’ Ad Hoc Committee on the Palestinian Question, Jews constituted one third of the population and owned only 5.66 percent of the land. If the Palestinian Arabs were the majority on the eve of the first Arab-Israeli war (May 15, 1948) how is it that they became refugees? One common argument is that Palestinians became refugees as a result of the 1948 war; that, had not the Arabs attacked Israel, there "would have been no refugees. Again, the facts of the matter are not so. The majority of Palestinians were evicted by force and dispossessed of their homes and land before any Arab soldier set foot in Palestine. Arab cities and towns in Palestine were attacked by Zionist forces before the beginning of the first Arab-lsraeli war (May 15, 1948). Tiberias was occupied on April 19, 1948, Haifa on April 22, Jaffa on April 28, Safad on May 10, and Acre on May 14, 1948. The Palestinians did not become refugees because of the 1948 war, but the war resulted because the Palestinians were dispossessed and evicted from their homes and land. Since then several United Nations resolutions recognized and affirmed the right of the Palestinian Arabs to be repatriated and called on Israel to do so. For nineteen years the Palestinians waited. Israel and the world heedless of their plight, they finally took up arms. Their voice is now being heard but at the same time they are styled as terrorists. One however need not condone violence to be able to recognize that terrorism in the Middle East is the monopoly of no one side. Yet how many of us know or care to remember that — to mention orily two examples - Israeli planes on February 12, 1970 attacked a scrap metal processing plant in Abu-Zaabal just outside Cairo killing eighty civilian workers and wounding ninety-eight others, and that on April 8, 1970 Israeli planes using Napalm bombs raided a school in Bahr el-Bakar in Egypt killing forty-six children. Mr. Segal (and The Spectrum. in a recent editorial on the PLO) are not alone to be faulted for this one-sided view of the Arab-Israeli conflict. At the hands of the news media the image of the Arab in general suffered egregiously. Palestine has been imagined as an empty desert waiting to burst into bloom and Arabs as inconsequential nomads with no stable claim to the land and therefore no cultural permanence. Again the Arab, if thought of at all singly, is a dimensionless creature. His history is obscure, for it is written neither in terms of institutions the American can understand nor in a language he can read. More often than not Arabs are pictured as large crowds, mobs of hysterical anonymous men. Against the sheer mass of their number any injustice, it seems, counts for very little. Pictures of Israelis, by contrast, show them as stalwart individuals, the light of simple heroism shining from their eyes. To the satisfaction of a guilty Western conscience, the Arabs in general and the Palestinians in particular have been made to atone for sins that Europeans have committed. But there are signs that the world is beginning to see and recognize the Palestinians, signs coming even from Israel itself, articulated by such writers and intellectuals as Prof. Israel Shahak of the Hebrew University and the Israeli League for Human Rights and. more recently, the columnist Yehushua Tadmor calling on Israel to talk directly to the Palestinians. Until such voices are listened to. it seems unlikely that peace will come to the Middle East. George J. Glaeaman Ads for the CIA frorr here to ther by Garry Wills Sometimes it looks like President Ford is a clown leading clowns. He has a whole chorus line of them. There’s his economic advisor, who reminds us that stockholders are losing more to inflation than are poor people. There’s the head of the Joint Chiefs, who claims that Jews own America’s banks. There is the head of the FBI who thinks the dirty tricks denounced by his own boss were perfectly all right. That boss, by the way, Attorney General Saxbe, is rather clownish witness the in most of his statements and in many of his actions Patty Hearst affair.. But Earl Butz is, despite heavy competition, the Administration’s clown of clowns. It was an insult to the starving people of the world for us to send a man like him to the Food Conference in Rome, to deal with the urgencies of hunger and starvation. He is the man who told us that when the larder is bare, it would be a good idea to cut back. Now he has progressed from his old routine of last year, in which he insulted housewives, to a game of insulting the Pope. He told New York journalists that the story in Rome about Pope Paul’s stand on birth control was “He no play-a the game, he no make-a the rules.” I disagree violently with the Pope’s stand on birth control. But the cheap shot that says he cannot discuss the ethical problems of marriage without being married is below consideration as an argument. It debases discourse. Then consider the mock accent. Some of those who protested the Butz remark seem to have misunderstood it they talk as if Butz were mimicking the Pope himself. It is clear from the words, however, that he is quoting an Italian man or woman speaking about the Pope. Even so, the mock accent is a crude device. I remember, years ago, writing a criticism of Jean Anouilh because, in his play “Becket,” he made cardinals talk heavily-accented pidgin-French (and, in the English version, stage-comic American) in order to suggest, illogically, that they were speaking elegant Italian inside the if not, indeed, Latin Vatican. Simply to put a foreign language into its debased English form adds an unearned touch of comedy, and therefore of mockery. The speaker in Butz’s story was presumably speaking Italian, not English; and that speaker’s Italian was no doubt better than Butz’s Italian and very likely better than his English. This might be taken as a single lapse, and forgiven. But even one such dreadful lapse damages a man’s effectiveness as in the case of General Brown’s comment on the Jews. And the Butz remark is just one of a series of offensive statements surrounding an ugly policy and proud shortsightedness. This clown is funny in himself but his actions rightly sadden thousands of others. Each day he remains at his post he is an advertisement for American insensitivity toward human suffering. — — — — - To the Editor. 1 must protest your publication of a National Security Agency advertisement. Either due to blind money-quest (you don’t get many full page ads, do you?) or unforgivably stupidity you have become complicit with most of the atrocities committed internationally by agents of the (dominant) right-wing junta presently ruling America. National Security Agency is a front for the C.l.A. Jobs advertised by your newspaper have, in the past, aimed at (successfully) assassinating Ngo Dinh Diem, the act which served as the excuse for American military takeovers in South Vietnam and eventually the war. The people who are the N.S.A. have terrorized unionizing miners of Venezuela, operated the Air-Amcrican heroin trail to America’s ghettoes and killed thousands in the Phillipines. Dominican Republic, and Chile. You whose "big” issues are academic freedom of thought, faculty firings and the Attica frarneups, have now become complied with massive repression by CM.A. imperialism in the Third World, the murders of Pablo Neruda, and other leftist intellectuals, and the tiger-cages still very much in use in South Vietnam. I demand that you publish an apology for publishing this outrage and that you lake an oath, never to do such again. - /■red Friedman of History Dept, Inaccurate epithets To the Editor. In your recent article on the status of the chartering procedure for the Colleges,-Vico College was referred to as “faculty-dominated.” Implied in the choice of words like these is an unmistakable pejorative sense that might lead some readers to wrong conclusions. Vico College is as “faculty-dominated” as any University Department; that is, only University faculty, or those with faculty qualifications, teach Vico courses. This makes Vico College different from most of the other Colleges in the present system. But aside from this fact, the very use of the term “dominated” implies an oppressive arrangement in which faculty have “power” and others do not. Such an implication has no bearing on reality. The faculty and students \in Vico are mutually engaged in an intellectual erfterprise. Vico faculty have no more, no less power than other University faculty; Vico students no more, no less power than other University students. It is as simple as that. It is time, I think, to call a stop to the various epithets that people have labeled us with: an intellectual faculty club created to serve our own “needs” is one of the more absurd I have heard. Vico faculty devote time to the college for a number of reasons intellectual fulfillment from the study of the history of ideas, for one, and a deep commitment to undergraduate general education, for another. They devote this time for no extra pay for their teaching, advising, and residential activities. I hope that The Spectrum will bear these facts in mind in their future articles on the colleges. - Elisabeth Perry Executive Coordinator Vico College More security To the Editor: The change has been almost imperceptible. Slowly but surely the student security aides in the dormitories have had their amount Of work hours cut back. For a while you could walk info Clement or Goodyear any time in the night without anyone questioning whether you should be there or not. Now there seems to be intermittent security only after 11 p.m. This is certainly not enough. Muggers and thieves will eventually realize at what times the dorms are open at night. Dormitory residents are entitled to adequate protection and security from the University now. We cannot afford to wait for the future; we cannot afford to take chances.

The team will be a mixture of old and new players, wearing the traditional blue and white Buffalo colors. What's borrowed? The Bulls will be using arenas other than their own for some of their home games this year. They will play five home games at Memorial Auditorium, the home court of Canisius, and two at Erie in County Community College Williamsville. The Bulls are in the second year of a monumental rebuilding program, trying to reach .500 after’ last year's dismal 5-19 record. Exactly how well the team does will depend both on the performances of the newcomers and on the degree of improvement of the returnees. The Bulls' big question mark is in the middle. Freshman cenfer Sam Pellom, who is already being referred to as "the franchise," was impressive in the pre-season and has shown promise in the early going. Pellom plays well He rebounds well,' but it will take time before he can be really effective against bigger centers (Pellom is 6'7"). Backing up Pellom are two returnees, Mike Jones and Jim Slayton. Jones' major weakness last season was defense. Like Pellom, Jones is short (6*6") for a collegiate center. He will play forward as well. Slayton, on the other hand, specializes in defense and is the kind of player who is always hustling, always aggressive. "Slayts" is not an offensive threat, but he has been showing some improvement there. Missing star Otis Horne, the team's second leading scorer last year, will probably be out of action until next semester due to an incomplete grade last spring. The junior forward is expected to carry a major portion of the scoring load when he returns. Otis can drive or hit from the outside, and his defense and rebounding are more than adequate, although he still ne6ds to learn some discretion in his shot selection. Twenty-five shots a game was not uncommon for him last year.

Dickinson is a classic he example of a small forward outside shot qnd is owns a good quite capable of going inside if — necessary. Baker is two inches taller and is more defensively oriented. Another newcomer, Ron McGraw, will also be used at forward. He might be the best shooter among the forwards. The Bulls have a surplus of guards, but two seem to rate a little above the crowd. Junior Gary Domzalski and co-captain Darnell Montgomery should handle the bulk of the back court work, along with Gene "The Dream" Henderson (17 points per junior game for last year's varsity). Domzalski pan shoot even with one eye tied behind his back, and 25 feet is not out of his range. He also holds the varsity record for assists in one game. Montgomery did not play much last year because of an injury, but he appears to be healthy now. His specialty is defense. The running game The Bulls figure to run a lot this year, unless turnovers force them to slow it down. They were often outrebounded last season, and could not fast break as much as they wanted to. This year, the front line will be counted on heavily to get the ball. Richardson realizes that he is still rebuilding the team, and that they will not be winners overnight, although an early season upset at Long Island University was a very good sign. The coach feels that a .500 season is within reach. The Bulls' schedule is also improving, along with the team. If Buffalo can do well against the stronger teams on its schedule, it will speak very well for the improvement of the team. \W —Frost Commentary Title IX bolsters by Bruce Engel Sports Editor 9 of the Education Act of 1973 takes affect next prohibiting educational institutions from discriminating athletically on the basis of sex.

Coach Carolyn Thomas isn't sure of her starting lineup yet, but she indicated "the people from last year have an edge." "I'll probably use a three guard offense until someone develops as a good forward," Thomas said. She labeled sophomore Mary Ellen O'Malley, junior Pam Tellock, as well as seniors Charlene O'Neill and Chris Barone as the leading candidates for guard. The much improved Pat Dolan, a junior, is the probable starting forward. All of these players have at least a year of varsity basketball experience. "The players are used together," said to playing Trapper. "There is a sense of security on this team." tmr Dominant player Ann, who has the ability to dominate the action, is the best player on the team and the only •one with a guaranteed spot in the lineup. Despite this, she claims she doesn't feel any pressure "because I don’t think of myself as an important player.” Thomas doesn't think there's much pressure on Ann either. "Wt; don’t count on her to score. She distributes the score Trapper's strong point is rebounding and, according to Thomas, Ann is one of the best rebounders in the league.

Teams will be considered on the basis of their records and the strength of thfeir opponents. Under this system, Buffalo's players think they have a good chance of making the tournament. "We came close enough last year," said Charlene O'Neill, "and the desire is carrying over." But Dr. Thomas didn't want to look too far ahead. "We'll play like we did last year game at a time one ' This year's schedule is a little tougher than last year, according to Thomas. "We played teams last year that we beat by 25 points. This year the contests will be more of a challenge." "The caliber of the area schools is about the same," Trapper commented, adding that Genesee Community College and Cornell are two of the best teams on the schedule. In her second year as coach, Thomas' ability has earned her a high rating with the players. "It's an educational experience to play under her," said Ann. Thomas doesn't think winning is the most important thing in collegiate sports. "Winning is secondary to people maximizing their potential as players,” Dr. Thomas said. She hopes for more support this year from Buffalo fans. 'The schools we play are good," she said, "and I think people would be surprised to see how good women's basketball is."

In the past, this attitude and the simple desire to play for fun has brought unfair male chauvinistic criticism that women athletes were not serious in their endeavors. Nonetheless, the women, led by Ann Trapper, have the potential to win the majority of their 11 games. Lesson time Seemingly the men's team is pretty well set everywhere but at center. In the middle, 6'7" center Sam Pellom may or may not be the big man of coach Leo Richardson's dreams. Pellom has great promise, but still has a ways to go. This season should be an educational experience for the baby-faced freshman. If he learns well, thre may be a brighter future for Buffalo basketball. But if he bombs, and the Bulls still don't have a big man, they will be In deep trouble. The, women are sure to be strong at center but have some pretty big question marks in other areas. Playmaking guard Denise Larusch and forward Sue Patterson were key figures on last year's team, but both have graduated. Thomas feels as though she has only one good forward right now, and she is planning on starting three guards. Fortunately for the women's team, though, Ann Trapper is the kind of player that might not need much help up front. She can dominate a contest, consistentlt scoring and rebounding in double figures. To a large extent, as Ann goes, so will the team. Monday, 9 December 1974 The Spectrum Page nine . . �.1 S yoo su«e (T«Kt vev ikiwlo ir« 3 w those? 1 ( I . /•OoWt irf0W>Oit oiiitH...

Student analysis According to a report presented by the Union of Students in Ireland, the problems of students and “the analysis of these problems by students is perhaps one of the basic reasons for the existence of the student press.” Unfortunately, the Irish students point outt, “many of our students become apathetic and uninterested in some areas which arc of major relevance to them.” Therefore one aim of the student press is to “increase the awareness" of students around these important issues. In addition, the press must help develop the consciousness of its readers international affairs," as well as to provide "a student-controlled media for the educational, political and social problems encountered by students and society,” according to the Irish students While professionalism in production is important and desirable, each newspaper must demand "facts, accuracy, knowledge, initiative and imagination” above all, they claim. Students also feel that the newspaper would be improved if the editor or editors could arrange a leave of absence from normal class work (with the possibility of receiving credit for their work on the paper) so they would have time to follow up stories and help the coordination of local news. Vietnamese students “The student press is a victim of repression by the Saigon police,” reported the Student Union for the Liberation of South Vietnam. “Many friends who had written for student papers have been imprisoned. Others who had distributed the papers have been tortured." Despite the governmental repression, the student press in South Vietnam is playing an important role in mobilizing students of different political tendencies in the fight for independence and freedom against U.S. aggression, the Student Union asserted. The Vietnamese student press is urging the release of some "200.000 political prisoners" still being held by the Thieu government. In particular, much has been written about Huynh Ian Mam, President of the Saigon Student's Union, who was mprisoned lor the thud lime three years has respected the articles of the agreement. In explaining the important role the Vietnamese student press has played in the struggle for peace and independence, the Vietnamese journalists paid tribute to the coverage of Vietnam by the student press in other countries. Repression in South Africa Students from South Africa reported that conditions are so repressive in their country that there is “no national student press.” One student organization published a newsletter, but all those associated with the group were expelled from school and eight were banned from studying anywhere in the country, reported the Student African National Congress. “There are 25 or more laws which goven the behavior pattern of the press.” As a result, "the South African press today is Section of the exclusively white-owned, white-controlled and reflects the opinion of the white attitudes,” the students explained. Under the Suppression of Communism Act of I V>50, four newspapers who campaigned on behalf of the African in 1952. in 1954, in people were banned 1962 and in I 965. According to an article in t he World Student A'cur written by Sovie' scientist S.l. Beglow, the colonial subjugat ton of the African peoples has prevented tl item from developing their media industry. In 1959, 216 newspapers were printed it i Western on nines mope, while in sixteen African none were printed at all.

In contrast, the Socialist Union of Polish Students reported that about 40 Polish universities presently have their own periodicals. Edited by groups of student journalists at each school, these publications deal with student life and give information about the Union and various organizations and activities, the students explained. Polish student press The Socialist Union of Polish Students, formed last year, organized a program which strives to harness the creative potential of “highly-qualified young specialists,” in accordance with the needs of the modern economy of a socialist state. The student press helps publicize this program. The Polish student press publishes articles on all aspects of natural sciences, social sciences, and the arts, while also reporting on national and international news. The overall purpose of the student press, explained the Polish students, is to form a “new man,” through the development of a “socialist personality," Student magazines are published in each four national student district, and magazines are produced with a total circulation of 180,000 copies per week.

Citing the provision that prohibits third party and independent candidates from using public funds unless they received 5 percent of the vote in the previous election, small party critics have urged President Ford to veto the bill because it sets up a two-party political monopoly. “The blame for the poor quality of leadership does not rest on the Republican party alone,” declared Eugene J. McCarthy, who made unsuccessful bids for the Democratic nomination in 1968 and 1972. “The Democratic party generally has not offered presidential alternatives acceptable to American voters. And the two parties have worked together to shut out challenges from the outside,” he said. Mr. McCarthy, who is hoping to run for President on an independent ticket in 1976, said recently he will challenge the Finance Act in the courts if it becomes law. He also charged that the bill discriminates against poor and middle income candidates and those who challenge congressional incumbents. McCarthy’s protest was joined by the Socialist Workers Party. Socialist Workers Treasurer Peter Camejo has asserted that the Finance Act is “unfair and undemocratic, and strengthens the monopoly of the big business parties over politics in this country.” Camejo also claimed that parties such as the Socialist Workers have been subjected to discriminatory ballot laws, media blackouts and unconstitutional FBI and police surveillance and harassment so that obtaining 5 percent of the vote is difficult. >$:jS Wednesday’s issue of The Spectrum is the last issue of the semester (Thank •jiglg Sgi-S >:•!•:$ w God).

Kosman by Thom Kristich Spectrum Staff Writer To help promote membership in WNED Channel 17, the station will air a variety of shows for “discriminating viewers” this week (Dec. 8—13). Membership week offers viewers the chance to become part of public television and help it continue in the Buffalo area. The special shows presented this week will appeal to theatre, sports, and music buffs, among others. Of particular interest to college students is “Monty Python’s Flying Circus,” a British comedy show which became an underground hit with those who watched late night Canadian television. One of the actors in the “Circus” is Marty Feldman, who has been called the English Woody Allen, only crazier. The “Circus” will appear every night of the membership week. Nana repeat There will also be a repeat of last season’s popular “Nana,” based on the book by Emile Zola. Nana is a 17th century prostitue among the elite class, who works her way up the social ladder with her special talents. After runing several lives, she dies of smallpox at the story’s end. “Nana” contained some of the more explicit nude scenes of last year’s season. While this caught the eye of many viewers, the excellent BBC acting and the interesting story of moral decadence attracted many others. Noel Coward’s old buddies pay tribute to the great playwright in another show, filmed before his death. The cast includes David Niven, Richard Burton and the late Maurice Chevalier. For the music aficionado, a tape of the 1950 Newport Jazz Festival, “Jazz on a Summer’s Day,” will be aired Dec. 10. The showing will enable those who attended the Ella Fitzgerald concert at Kleinhans Music Hall Friday to compare it with her performance 24 years ago. Baez and Mangione Joan Baez will perform Dec. 12 in concert, without a back-up group, highlighting a number of her new personal compositions. A repeat of Chuck Mangione with the Rochester Philharmonic in a presentation of “Together” will be aired near the end of the week. Mangione is a Rochester fluglehorn player who is popular among jazz and easy listening fans in Buffalo. Rounding off the week will be a show tracing the recent tour of Olga Korbut and thfi Russian gymnastic team in the.United States. �Survivin the huffin and puffin of the strenuous Turkey Trot 9 9 rescheduled it for the following week However, now it was impossible to train. Forty-degree weather turned the snow on the track into mush. My friend and I tripd running once around the perimeter of the football field. Midway through the first lap he fell into the wet snow, got soaking wet and we decided it wasn’t worth it. The rest of that afternoon was spent heaving snowballs through the football uprights in an attempt to see how far we could throw a field goal. Thus Turkey Trot day arrived and I had done little training. Rather than worrying, I decided to be proud of myself for running. It’s good for my health. I left my room in MacDonald Hall two minutes before the race was scheduled to start, so I had to run there. What a stupid time to have to run anywhere. 9 shape by John Reiss Staff Writer Spectrum Editor's Note: Every year, prior to'Thanksgiving, Buffalo's Intramural Department runs a race called the Turkey Trot. Dozens of students, faculty and staff compete annually in the distance running contest with the winners in several categories receiving turkeys for their effort. This year The Spectrum commissioned staff writer John Reiss to run in the race and write, if he survived, a story about it. Here is his experience. I had never thought about running track before. It takes too much stamina, too much will power. I love to ski, am a baseball fanatic and I enjoy watching and participating in most sports. But track? Oh no, I’d stay away from that. Ever since the summer in sleep-away camp when I was years old and saw my life pass before me after running 12 600 yards, track was off my schedule. I love watching track, though, and my heart sank with the rest of America’s when Jim Ryun fell in the Olympics. But for me, long distance running consisted of running from first to home on a double. However, if I have anyone to blame for getting involved in running, it is, to repeat an old daying, “Me and my big mouth.” In September, I decided I would start a physical fitness program by running at Rotary Field every day, first panting around a mile and then working my way up. By Ji ne I would be in top physical condition. DEVIL: Rest, rest. ANGEL: Run, run DEVIL; You can’t run. It’s Thursday Good point. Sorry Angel, the Devil wins this one (and most subsequent debates, I might add). So much for physical fitness. While I was running, 1 had casually mentioned my program to Sports Editor Bruce Engel. Engel apparently tucked this piece of information in the back of his head, because two months later, he suggested that I run in the Turkey Trot. Explaining that The Spectrum likes to run Plimptonian-type articles and since 1 was the only member . The real thing Upon arriving at Clark Hall, I saw what I had feared all along: real athletes. Runners. These people came to win that turkey, and for them anything less than first place wouldn’t do. Monkarsh’s announcement that the race was just for fun was greeted with uproarious laughter. When I mentioned to The Spectrum photographer Dave Center that I hoped I wouldn’t finish last, he said, “1 just hope you finish.” He wasn’t very helpful. All the participants were gathered into a big group as track coach Jim McDonough described the route we would have to run: up and down, in and out, through and aroundi I had no idea what he was talking about, but I figured I’d have quite a few people ahead of me to lead the way. When the whistle blew to start the race, about 100 people darted out as if it were a sprint. “Hah,” I thought. “After one lap these people are going to tire and I’m going At the end of the first lap things hadn’t worked out exactly as I had expected. I was still helping to bring up the rear. The guy in first place (whose face 1 never saw) was half way done with his second lap. At the end of my second lap, still way behind, I was telling myself, “I’ll still,” puff, puff, “still pass a whole lot of,” wheeze, “lot of people.” Real eas The irst few days of running went beautifully. 1 ran with a t.iend who had been a pretty good runner in high school, and 1 beat him. We’d stay even until the last lap and then I’d win it with a kick. Boy, this was going to be easier than I thought. Here 1 was just starting out, beating someone who was experienced. I thought for sure I’d be great at this. I thought it was nice that I could follow such a strict for a week. program so diligently. And I did follow it to me before happened It had began happen. it to Then when I was lifting weights and it was happening again. If you have ever tried a physical fitness program, you may know what I mean. I’d wake up and say to myself “Oh, I’m not running today. It’s too cold, my legs hurt to the game. ANGEL: If you don’t run, you’ll-never be in good of the sports staff that was on a regular running program, I was the obvious choice for this assignment. It would make no difference how I finished. It was just for fun. Engel said I shouldn't worry, the race is only about one and a half miles. “One and a half miles?” I said. The mere thought theTactTwaS made me tired. But 1 agreed to it. remembered intramural director Bill Monkarsh telling me. “The race is run in any kind of weather. Last year we ran in snow.” I prayed the event would be postponed, and it was. The whole University was shut down that day.

After the race, 1 was told it took me about 10 and a half minutes to run what turned out to be close to two miles. Bill Monkarsh came over to me, patted me on the back and said with a smile, “Nice run, Spectrum." Maybe he says that to The Spectrum runner every year. 1 do know, however, that although it was fun, I’m not going to only one week away. It rained so much the week before the race that 1 was able to run only once. There were 15 inches of snow on the ground the morning of the big day. I shuddered when I VOTE TOMORROW jnp Sex no distraction At this point, I had already run more than a mile. My legs were hurting and my heart was pounding so hard I would have sworn it was beating right through my Stuyvesant High School sweatshirt. I remembered a friend telling me that when you get tired running, it’s best to think of sex. “It takes your mind completely off the pain,” he had said. 1 tried it, but it didn’t work. I was too tired to even think about sex. As the end approached, I realized that many of those people I was going to pass had already finished. My attempt for respectability had vanished long ago.

State goalie stops Bulls by Dave Hnath Contributing Editor COLUMBUS, OHIO The Buffalo Hockey Bulls must be looking forward to their upcoming three game homestand following their six game losing streak on the road. Buffalo’s skaters traveled to Ohio State University last weekend only to extend their winless total to six by dropping a pair to the Buckeyes 4-1 and 7-3. In the process, they also lost one of their star defenders, Mark Sylvester. The Bulls came into town facing a dissension-ridden Ohio State squad in the midst of an eight game losing streak. The Buckeyes had lost half those games due to disastrous third period letdowns, which the Bulls threatened to do to them again in Saturday night’s contest. Swarming around the goal, Buffalo pressured OSU goalie Dan Sturgiou continually throughout the last half of the game. However, the standout Buckeye netman, who has been drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks, was up to the task. Sturgiou stopped ten shots from close range before the Buckeyes put the game out of reach with two quick goals. The Bulls experimented, with poor results in the Arst contest, coming out with a whole new set of - - m I1 The “ ii Mo v.v.y Sijiji; | II J Monda IW lw.;W Page fourteen The Spectrum .

Last summer, Albert Dahlberg, assistant to the vice president for Facilities Planning, promised that the rooms would be available for the Center’s use, she maintained. Representatives of Facilities Planning had agreed to confirm in writing the arrangement, Ms. Cassiol said, but the document was never forwarded to Center officials. An order to leave the rooms was never received either, she emphasized. Mr. Dahlberg confirmed Wednesday that two rooms had in fact been reserved on the first floor of Cooke Hall for the Center, but there was no definite agreement to assign them to the Center because “nothing is considered official until there is written notification" from Facilities Planning. During the summer, he , explained, the chances of the by Mitchell Regenbogen Campus Editor The University Day Care Center will be forced to close down indefinitely after December 20th if the Administration does not follow the recommendation of the Faculty-Senate to supply funds that would keep the Center open through June. Merton Ertell, acting vice president for Academic Affairs, said previously that the University was committed to keeping the Day Care Center operating until the end of the semester. Kathline Cassiol, Director of the Center, indicated that the Administration considers December 20th the end of the semester, although the Center is normally open all year except on legal holidays. Dr. Ertell was ill and unavailable for Vol. 25, No. 42 State University of New York at Buffalo Support given to Day Care by Richard Konnan Campus Editor Inflated grades making fine differences harder to view ' .... , t ; ! - , * 6 December 1974 Fac-Sen The Faculty-Senate approved proposals Tuesday recommending that the Administration supply funds to keep the Day Care Center operating until June, and that a committee be formed to explore ways of offering day care “as a service” to the University community instead of examining possible academic uses for the Center. In another development at the It also approved a resolution meeting, Dr. Ketter told the calling for a University-wide day Senate he would contest the care policy committee to study conclusions of a State Education future funding and governance, Department evaluation and to formulate guidelines for recommending that four PhD the academic use of the Center programs here be eliminated. and priority in any expansion.

The use of the Center for research purposes would only obscure the fact that day care is a right, according to American Studies professor Elizabeth Kennedy. “It appears to be a ploy to have the Faculty-Senate axe the existing Day Care Center,” she said. Prof. Kennedy offered the successful proposal as a substitution. University administrators, however, continue to maintain that the only reason the Center received state funding in the past was because Albany regarded it as related to academic enterprises. Dr. Ketter indicated after the Senate session that the Faculty-Senate resolutions would preclude any chance of obtaining funds for the Center from Albany. A statement issued from the Day Care Center Wednesday asserted that Dr. Ketter’s statements “made it clear that the administration does not share the views and opinions of the faculty Pennsylvania State University in 1963, 17.9 percent On the need for day care as a by Clem Colucd Special Features Editor of all grades give* were A's.

One does not necessarily do zoological research just by visiting a zoo,” commented professor of Management John Boot. Pauline Lippman, a parent involved with the Center, agreed that the Senate should not be determining the academic uses of the Center, if any. The Senate decided “whether to provide a service which allows poor people, single women and minorities to use this institution,” she said. Academic potential cited “Day Care is one of the few means to allow these people to participate,” Ms. Lippman added. The study proposal was defended, however, by James Lawler, professor of philosophy, who presented the report to the Senate on behalf of the committee. “In addition to service, there is a considerable academic potential for studying earl/chil$iood’ development,” he said. Dr. L$wter told the Senate that day care here could serve as a model to odier day care centers in the state. But day care supporters were adamant in their refusal to allow the addition of academic enterprises to the Center, which in their opinion, is only a ploy to skirt the issue of day care as a right. An amendment by American Studies professor Charles Kiel to include in the Senate recommendations a clause urging that the Center continue to run under “existing parent control” was also defeated. Another amendment, asking that day care be provided as a benefit to students, faculty, and same way other staff in benefits like parking,are provided’, was defeated; as well.

Rising fees and living expenses have combined to make the low cost college education offered by state universities less and less accessible to even relatively affluent middle class families. Expansion Having long outgrown its original “agricultural and technical" purposes, the University of Wisconsin has expanded into a major 27-campus system, with 135,000 full-time students. Enrollment at the main campus ip Madison remained the same, but at the like Oshkosh. Superior and more remote units Platteville it is sagging. By comparison, the State University of New York enrolls almost 257,000 full-time students on 72 campuses. Under state law, Wisconsin residents must pay 25 percent of the cost of their slate university instruction. The yearly fees at Madison, for example, now vary from S573 for freshmen to S796 for juniors and seniors, while out-of-state students pay four times as much. While these fees are lower than those here, the full cost of a year at Wisconsin, including room, board, books and incidentals, has risen to more than $2000.

The first will research the possibilities of reducing phone rates for off-campus calls if students agree not to exceed a fifty-call limit. Presently, students must pay a monthly charge of about $11.00 for an unlimited number of calls. Under the new system, calls exceeding the limit would be tacked on to the original charge. The second project will investigate wasted energy at Ellicott, particularly the need for 24-hour lights in certain areas of the Complex The new North Campus NYP1RG office is located in Fargo Building 5, Room A362 of the Ellicott Complex (636-2319).

Purpose eroded Under the Wisconsin proposal, tuition would be stabilized for the next year and then trimmed the following year by reducing the student obligation from 25 to 12 percent of the cost. Even though inflation would eat away at the reduction, tuition would probably drop back to an average of about $850 per year. Similar worries have prompted other states to In Ohio, the Board of Regents of the state-supported schools has proposed that tuition be stabilized for the next two years. And, the trustees of the University of Illinois have said there will be no further increases at least until the end of the 1975-1976 academic year. It is now more than a century since Congress established public “land grant” colleges to “promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes.” But the historic purpose of these public schools is being eroded because most colleges both are now struggling to fill their public and private classrooms and dormitories. Having overbuilt to accommodate the postwar “baby boom,” the very survival of many institutions is at stake, along with the jobs of well-paid administrators and professors. Passage of the Wisconsin proposal by the state legislature appears uncertain, according to several observers. In addition to the cost of the faculty salary rise, an additional $33 million would have to be allocated from state funds for the university if the proposal were put into effect. Wisconsin Governor Patrick Lucey has already dismissed the idea as “pie in the sky.” attempt to halt further tuition increases. - Graduate interships The Center for Policy Studies has established a University-wide program of graduate internships in public policy and public sector management.

The approval of the college’s five-year charter now hinges on its adoption of a non-cxclusionary policy to be determined by a University Review Board. WSC defended itself in a letter Society is an introductory course to the chartering committee, which explores and analyzes the citing the primary reason for not role of women in the modern giving equal access to men as the world, moving from a “full exploration of women’s consciousness-raising introduction experience to a woman’s studies to a social analysis of the position and- the difficulties of doing this of women. Taught collectively, the course is designed to help in a sexist society.” The two courses that exclude women develop leadership skills. men are Women in Contemporary Students are expected to hand Society and Self Help. Since in four written assignments women explore their bodies in the linking life experience to class Self Help class and discuss the material. At the beginning of the impact of a male-dominated semester, they must also write medical field, the college feels it personal histories to establish the connection between the work of inappropriate to admit men. the course and the concrete life of Developing leaders the This personal Women in Contemporary approach is designed to point out the complexities of studying women as a category. American Studies Professor Elizabeth Kennedy, an active member of WSC, described the course as a development of the women’s experience using women’s experience as a basis, studying historical aspects and the working of the woman in the family, she explained. When asked why men had to be excluded from these courses which usually cannot accommodate all those who Dr, Kennedy register for them said that their presence would make it hard to break through stereotypes, and might intimidate women as well. - - Disruptive males In the past, when men were admitted to the courses, arguments often arose over social roles. “The experience of our first semester showed us that a subjective analysis of women’s lives could not proceed productively when many of the participants were not part of the reality,” claimed the WSC collective. At the beginning of each semester, “many women wonder why no men are in the course,” added Dr. Kennedy. But “by six weeks into the semester, all the women understand that men should not be there,” she said. Although not actually prohibited from 213 (Contemporary Society), men are discouraged from registering for the course and are directed to take other courses, that are open to them. If they are specifically interested in 213 and protest the exclusion, they are offered the course as an independent study. No man has chosen such an option as yet. Dr. Kennedy said. Courses for men Some of the WSC courses open to men are in history and child care skills. The history course is designed to break down stereotypes without having to argue and serves as an introduction to the women’s studies area for men. The child care skills courses focus on learning new ways to think about children and women’s relations to children. The majority of WSC courses arc open to men; the enrollment rate for men is nine percent, paralleling the average in similar programs nationwide. “Every Women’s Center" at the University of Massachusetts, for instance, refuses to admit men to any of its.39 courses because “they don’t involve men and have no meaning to them,” according *■ to one spokesperson. of Title IX of the In a study U.S. Constitution, which prohibits sex discrimination in education, it was discovered, in fact, that women as a minority group can have separate education when it is of a remedial nature, she added. The center regards its courses as remedial, since they make up for what women students might have missed in a male-dominated *' educational ' system. No justification Yoram Szekely, executive secretary of the Chartering University. The central issues for WSC are in what capacity men will participate, and who will decide who can be admitted to the „ , courses. Irving Spitzberg, Dean of the Colleges, has proposed an external review procedure to decide these questions, but the details of such a review board are still unclear. “There must be a public scrutiny mechanism for reviewing this judgment,” he said, adding that it should not be decided strictly within the Women’s Studies College. There would be three “issues of justification’’ that Dr. Spitzberg feels a review board should decide: whether women learn as well when males are present; whether men will benefit from this kind of education; whether the “oppressor” should be given the opportunity to show and explain his — - — oppression. Elizabeth Kennedy Committee, maintained that no justification is possible for excluding men. Explaining that his views do not necessarily represent those of the committee, Dr. Szekely said, “The exclusion will only increase sexism; men should be encouraged to learn about women, since ignorance is one of the bases for sexism.” Since he feels the Self Help course would not be conducive to admitting men. Dr. Szekely said that it should be funded by outside sources and not by the The final decision now lies with Pres. Robert Ketter, to whom the Chartering Committee sent its proposals. There are, however, several legal issues at stake. If the University is to receive federal support, it must abide by Title IX. SUNY Central and the Board of Regents may also raise questions about whether the exclusionary policy constitutes sex discrimination. Lacking backing The Chartering Committee refused to approve WSC’s exclusionary policy because of the lack of evidence behind some of the college’s arguments. “Most of the other women’s studies colleges do allow men in courses analyzing women in society, and find it is better to have discussions with men,” said Dr. Spitzberg. He did acknowledge, though, that the Self Help courses clearly should not enroll men. In an interview with The —continued on page 18— New SCATE questionnaire by Howard Greenblatt Spectrum Staff Writer Buffab’s only ring store S& kidding 11 IF ml T^t , The newly-revised Student Course and Teacher Evaluation (SCATE) form will be distributed in many classes next week on an experimental basis. Designed to alleviate the problems encountered with the Analysis of Courses and Teaching (ACT) used in recent years, the new questionnaire features many changes. The new SCATE form has been approved by about half of all University departments. Classes in the Faculties of Natural Sciences, Engineering, Social Sciences, Arts and Letters and in the departments of Pharmacy and Occupational Therapy will participate in the survey. A total of 27,000 questionnaires will be distributed. The University’s commitment to teacher evaluations was endangered last year when the existing ACT survey was criticized by both the Faculty-Senate and University administration. The Senate, in a resolution passed last year, claimed that the statistical results of ACT were difficult to comprehend and that the survey lacked direction and input. When a revised ACT plan was subsequently proposed. Dr. Ketter announced that the University would not be able to provide the necessary funding. Both the Faculty-Senate and the Administration decided that the evaluation process should be undertaken on an individual departmental basis, explained Mark Humm, Student Association (SA) Academic Affairs Coordinator. Under this plan, no Administration funding would be forthcoming. Because the various Faculties would not have had the time or money to undertake their own evaluations, Mr. Humm, Karen Cunningham, and a group of students spent most of this semester formulating a less expensive and more readible SCATE form, one that would hopefully be a more accurate barometer of student feedback. Mr. Humm anticipated that the new SCATE program would cost only $3500 per semester, in comparison to the ACT which cost approximately $40,000 a year. After meeting with Mr. Humm and his academic affairs subcommittee, Academic Affairs Vice-president Merton Ertell agreed to provide funds for paper, computer answer forms, and use of a computer, which constitute the bulk of the expense. Although the new SCATE program will be administered by the students, Dr. Ertell has not agreed to provide funds for temporary student services. Whereas the ACT form listed 36 questions on a “strongly agree-disagree” basis, the new SCATE questionnaire features 18 multiple choice questions. In addition, the new format provides space for individual comments, and Mr. Humm expects that the individual departments will attach an additional page of questions in the future. “The new form is intended to be a base, but it will provide for individual interpretation,” Mr. Humm said. “I want to emphasize that this is a pilot survey,” he added, stressing that the major purpose of the first questionnaire is to evaluate the form itself. The survey provides space for students to comment on how it might be improved. Although the results of the experimental survey will not be published, a Faculty-Senate committee will be formed to review the feedback and perfect the survey for its permanent use next year.

The recommendations were sent to Ewald Nyquist, State Education Commissioner, who is expected to reach a final decision on them Monday. Dr. Ketter said he has asked the Commissioner to reject the recommendations in “principle and in substance” because of the “highly singular rationale for their being made.” He also declared that the report’s suggestions for maintaining present programs would distort the present goals sought for those programs. The recommendations were made by the State Education Doctoral Council on the basis of site reports conducted last year by outside evaluations. But Dr. Ketter said the final conclusions of the report were not consistent with the assessments that were made as a result of the site reports. Dr. Ketter also took issue with the legal power of the Board of Regents and the State Department of Education to disband University programs. “If you can dissolve doctoral can dissolve programs, and programs without criteria,” he said. programs, you professional undergraduate designing any Day Care Center obtaining the space was “very good” because both the Faculty of Social Sciences and Administration and Executive Vice President Albert Somit had expressed support for the Center. —continued from page 1— ... there, according to Dr. Telfer.

The State Education Doctoral Council has reviewed programs in history, chemistry, physics and English at public and private institutions throughout the state. “While we are somewhat constrained [as a result of the report], others may be in more trouble,” Dr. Ketter admitted. He pointed out that in granting seats to institutions of higher learning in New York State, the Council treated the sprawling SUNY and CUNY systems simply as individual units. Thus SUNY which has a total enrollment in the hundreds of thousands was given no more than one seat on the council, while small private institutions like St. John's University were also given one — seat.

Friday, 6 December 1974 . �Research methods New library course offered in the spring A new four-credit course designed to familiarize undergraduate students with the University libraries and their information resources will be offered next semester. Entitled “Sources and Methods of Library Research” (UEB 309), the course is aimed at students who have “little knowledge of large academic libraries, and generally, those who have not yet committed themselves to any particular discipline,” according to the course description. Mary Jane Platou, head reference librarian of the Undergraduate Library (UGL) who will teach the course, designed the program to serve entering students who are often confused about the use of the libraries and seldom realize their potential. Library classroom Limited to 20 students, the course will be taught both in the classroom and in the library, with the aid of extensive media ■ materials. Grades will be determined by written worksheets, exams, and one major project entailing an annotated bibliography on a subject of the student’s choice. In writing the final paper, students will be expected to utilize the skills they have developed; for example, how to formulate research strategy and where to locate pertinent materials. The class will also discuss resources outside the University library system. This is not a new idea, said Ms. Platou. Similar courses have been offered for some time at many large universities, among them Berkeley, UCLA, and the University of Washington. Ms. Platou emphasized that in large universities, it is difficult for librarians to help every student. “Students have to be able to find the information themselves.” This course, a “bulletin board” offering, will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1 to 2:30 by Joseph P.

Although three out of four high school students believe censorship violates basic American principles of freedom of expression, the poll showed a substantial minority would be willing to let outsiders screen the books they use in school. Five percent of the pupils in the survey would approve of burning objectionable books, such as Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.’s Slaugh terhouse Five. The researchers defined objectionable as “sexy, profane, obscene, immoral or filthy material” and mentioned Vonnegut’s novel as a committee of local citizens decide which books are suitable for classroom use and another 18 percent believe parents should possible example. Arline Erlick, Editor of the Purdue research panel, said the survey results indicate a lack of Book burning As additional 15 percent of the students said they would probably support book burning. One fifth of the students said that if books contain objectionable material those portions should be removed from editions used in high school classes.

Although the 20-question survey is concerned primarily with athletics, it will also seek to establish student priorities in preference to the entire annual $800,000 SA budget. The results of the survey will not be binding. “It’s not going to be so specific that it locks us in to anything exact,” said SA president Frank Jackalone. It is hoped, however, that the response will be helpful in determining just what students want to get for their activity fee, particularly in athletics. SA officials seem to think that some proof of support may be needed, lest athletics fall by the wayside entirely. “We have to impress upon people that they have to fill out the survey, or they may lose all athletics,” Mr. Salimando said. by Bruce Engel Sports Editor understanding of the freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. “Some people are closed-minded and fearful and are not ready to In an attempt to achieve a more accurate measure of student priorities, particularly in the area accept the First Amendment.

He was successful in getting Anthony Lorenzetti, vice president for Student Affairs, to fund the project, and also convinced Richard Dremick of Admissions and Records to include the form in the registration packet. Finally, Helen Wyant, assistant director of the Student Testing Center, helped Mr. Salimando and SA National Affairs Coordinator Michelle Smith draw up the questions. The first section of the survey deals with the SA budget as a whole and is concerned with students’ individual preferences in budgeting.

Students are then asked how often they go to University athletic contests. Later questions ask students to state their preferences among men’s athletics, women’s athletics, intramurals and recreation, and club sports, as well as their preferences within each of these areas. Other important questions concern alternative modes of funding athletics; the kind of institutions University teams should be playing; and the possibility of bringing football back to the campus. vary AT INDIVIDUAL storf^ �WNED is educational T.V. for Erie County Whenever detrimental remarks are made about Buffalo, there is always a group of people ready to counter with everything that is good about the city. They point to the many cultural and artistic centers the ar is famous for, including Allentown, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and WNED, Channel 17. Yes, Ch. 17, public TV, the educational and cultural television mainstay of Buffalo. A community station, Channel 17 carries a variety of educational and entertainment programming and it does this without the benefit of advertising revenue. Instead, the station raises funds from federal and local governments, corporate contributions, membership drives, and the sale of programs produced at the station. Last year’s budget amounted to $1,700,000 (48 percent of which came from federal, state and county eaf governments). The station also receives money from Erie County as a part of the county’s cultural and educational program, which also assists the Philharmonic and the Albright-Knox, among other institutions. This allocation is spread over the station’s whole budget and specific projects are not singled out for funding, eliminating the possibility of legislators’ cancelling appropriations when they disagree with certain programming. Erie County was the first county in the nation to provide such funding for educational television. New York State also provides funding, on the basis of a formula which takes into account the amount of support provided by the local community. Broadcast area and population are also considered so that small communities are not excluded. The state encourages diversity and rewards stations with good previous records. The stations here are thus relatively independent, in contrast with those in South Carolina, for instance, where all public TV stations are state-owned and centrally programmed. According to Mike Collins, Channel 17’s president and general manager, however, while the state has a good formula, it is rarely adhered to. Funding usually does not meet the station’s needs, he said. The viewers too are an integral part of the funding process, he explained. A greater percentage of the viewing audience wajches educational television in Western New York than in any other region, according to Mr. Collins. But even with this popularity, Channel 17 receives contributions from only 5 percent of its known viewers. Even that is higher than the overall public TV viewer return of 3 percent though, he noted. Attracting viewers to Channel 17 has been a problem. Mr. Collins admitted. But once they tune in for a special event, they often become regular viewers, he said. “Individual membership is the real crux’’ and will determine whether educational television continues, Mr. Collins concluded.

The other representative organizations are; the Alliance of Consumers and Taxpayers of Niagara County, the Citizens’ Energy Council of Western New York, the Springville Radiation Study Group, NYPIRG, the Sierra Club and Housewives to End Pollution. No favoritism intentions “There were 1200 people there with 50.000 great ideas, and nobody getting anything done,” she said. “Everyone had their own. very real problems and was looking for someone to pat them on the head and listen to their fears about the nuclear reactor in their backyard.” Ms. Schmidt felt all the necessary motivation and good intentions were present, but only the creation of some kind of formally structured organization could accomplish the basic goals everyone was seeking. “It’s been my experience with organizations run on a very informal basis that, generally, vdry little gets done,” she said. A central steering committee, to be headed by Ms. Schmidt, will be comprised of one representative from each organization. The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) of Buffalo has joined SECWNY, and its steering committee position will be rotated, according to NYPIRG member Jan Sarles. NYPIRG will donate its office facilities for SECWNY’s use, and the other groups plan to contribute whatever resources are Good Because Ms. Schmidt does not belong to any of these organizations, one representative said she would be in an ideal position to coordinate the coalition’s activities without showing favoritism to an individual group. “I am resolved that there is no technical solution for the problem which are even of nuclear today being accumulated. What is\ left is a strictly moral question,” \ Ms. Schmidt explained. She added that time is very limited, and anti-nuclear forces must unify to “cut off the serpent’s head.” The group will send representatives to this Saturday’s meeting in Albany where a statewide coalition will be formed, which will in turn feed into a national alliance. Such an arrangement is ideal because it will present a unified image to the public and the media of the anti-nuclear movement, while allowing each local group to concentrate on its own unique concerns. NYP1RG has begun polling local legislators on the question of nuclear energy, which member Richard Sokolow calls a concrete beginning toward constructive projects.

Page seven �Editotia Day Care pragmatism But seriously With the Day Care Center set to close down in a matter of days, it is becoming increasingly difficult to understand why the Center's most vigorous advocates seem to want nothing less than an immediate decree by the Administration that Day Care is a right. We have no quarrel with this philosophy; for all sorts of historical, economic and social reasons, this University should routinely offer Day Care as a service instead of having to peddle the Center's ass as an academic enterprise. But because the Center's funding dilemna has now reached emergency proportions, its proponents have no choice but to place pragmatism before idealism. This is not what the Faculty-Senate has done by passing a resolution to establish a University-wide committee to explore ways of offering day care "as a service” to the University community, rather than investigate the possibilities of establishing a Center for Early Childhood Development or an academic justification for day care. By refusing to even deal with the practical reality of justifying expenses to SUNY and the State Bureau of the Budget, the Senate may have inadvertently precluded any chance of obtaining funds for the Center. The State University at Buffalo is not a private institution. It follows policy directives set down by a bureaucratic central body, a group which exercises an awesome degree of control over the flow of money into the University. For whatever narrow and primitive reasons, that body has decided that no funds will be allocated for a variety of social services, day.care among them. Too often, people forget that the only reason the Center has ever been funded is because, quite literally, those funds were buried in academic lines. Convincing the State University of New York that day care is an indispensable service one that has enabled many minority and disadvantaged parents to pursue a College education would probably require similar expressions of need from most of the State Universities and Colleges. The likelihood of this happening of students and parents organizing en masse through New York State in the year is almost nill. 1974 to express their support for day care during here the semester staged The rallies that were protest held the that continuous apparently hope in were would give the Administration no recourse but to look up and listen. Unfortunately, 1969 is long gone, and College administrators are no longer inclined to acquiesce to something they oppose in face of large, vocal and persistent opposition by students. More significantly, the majority of College students really don't give a damn about much else than their own careers and lives. When interest in the Day Care Center's funding dilemna peaked about two months ago, there were at most fifty people who seemed committed to marching around campus each day with banners and . .

We honestly don’t give a fuck about snowball fights on the Amherst campus when the report on an important hockey game has to be omitted. While we’re speaking of hockey, (UB’s No. 1 sport through no help of yours, Mr. Spectrum), Dave Knath’s report entitled “St. Lawrence Saints skate hockey Bulls right off the ice” was far from being representative.

Name withheld upon request �Our Weekly Reader by Bill Maraschiello Spectrum Arts Staff Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Sometimes Zeppo by Joe Adamson. $3.95 (softcover) Touchstone, The Marx Brothers Scrapbook by Groucho Marx and Richard J. Anobile. Grosset and Dunlap, $5.95 (softcover) We have here two new dissertations on that great and glorious myth, the Marx Brothers. Both are quite ambitious; neither is meant for the Marxian neophyte. Only one the Groucho/Anobile effort is worth owning at all. In Groucho, Harpo, Chico and Sometimes Zeppo, Joe Adamson plays William Manchester (or perhaps Shirer) with the Marxes, having "thoroughly searched through all the existing written material on the Marx Borthers." In the process he has uncovered some previously hidden gems of Marxiana, notably some hilarious (and inexplicably unused) excerpts from early drafts of A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races. However fortunate it may be that Adamson has uncovered this material, the — — the modern critic, overanalysis. (A pertinent example is another writer's description of a Groucho line as "a dazzling example of Groucho's technique" ignoring the fact that the line was — written for Groucho, and that Groucho could be just as as anyone else when his writers failed him cf. Room Service.) Adamson's critical observations, like his factual ones, are so busy trying to meet their quota of wit and literacy that they are often semi-coherent. His frame-by-frame log of the most minute and irrelevant inconsistencies in each film is of little value to the filmgoer who was too busy having his sides split to perform structural analyses. Considering that his book is subtitled "A Celebration of the Marx Brothers," Adamson spends a disproportionate amount of energy poking holes in their films' structure, their scripts, their direction, and in more than a few aspects of the Marxes themselves. One is left with the impression that he doesn't really consider them funny at all. Adamson could have easily produced the finest book on the Marx Brothers in existence if he presented his wealth of material simply and without ornament. He chose, however, to indulge his critical ego, and the result is minimally rewarding. One third of The Marx Brothers Scrapbook is extremely rare memorabilia photographs, reviews, ads, even the sheet music to "Hooray for Captain Spaulding." Another third is interviews with Zeppo, Gummo, and several friends and associates of the Marxes. But the bulk of the book is straight from the mouth of Groucho himself, and it is this aspect of the book that is perhaps most sobering to the Marx fan. For it is an inescapable revelation that — — the Marxes are mere mortals; specifically, that the great Rufus T. Firefly and Captain Spaulding is an old man. In a way, the Scrapbook is Groucho's Limelight, minus any prattle about The Greatness Of Life. Groucho's thoughts, like Smith's in 1984, are much "like a ball falling into the same series of slots." High on his list are those great absolutes, sex and death; he remembers people largely in terms of whether they're alive now and with whom they have slept. He also seems smugly certain that he was the only one of the Marxes who was worth anything as a performer. The reminiscences of the Marx coterie reveal a great deal of mutual bitterness, in fact. Susan, Harpo's widow, accuses Groucho of "driving three wives to drink, and his children too." Zeppo berates Groucho for continuing to perform in the face of what Zeppo sees as senility; Groucho counters with "Gummo's a nice man, which is more than I can say for Zeppo.” (The largely untold stories of Zeppo and Gummo are among the most manner in which he has presented it here is infuriating. For he has fallen into the well-trod trap of the critic of humor: namely, the compulsion to be as witty as his subjects. His perspective is that of an equal, if not superior, of the Marxes; his tone is generally condescending and elitist. Worst of all, his style is so slathered with Marxian puns and in-jokes that anyone who has not committed the Marx films to memory will be hopelessly lost inside of ten pages. And if you do know enough about the Marxes to decipher Adamson's prose, most of the material will be old hat to you anyway. Nor has he ignored that great fault of valuable parts of the book.) Whether the Marx story can be told in other than a highly subjective way is debatable; in any case, the picture emerging from the Scrapbook is disturbing. The Scrapbook certainly adds some new and enlightening pieces to the puzzle of the Marx Brothers. It will surely prove a valuable source to whomever eventually writes the book on the clan the one Adamson's effort might have been. In the — meantime, we can content ourselves with Duck Soup, A Night At The Opera, Monkey Business, and the rest; in the absence of a map to Marxland, an unguided tour will more than suffice. �by Susan Wos Spectrum Music Reporter Sparkles and spangles that razzle-dazzle your eyes floating along people's chesty among other paraphernalia, on that night of nights.

As that time approached, anticipation grew, while hundreds of questions popped through the air. were But the answer was always the same; yes. Yes. YES! Soon I discovered myself in the midst of none other than Yesoids. You know, all those fanatics who eat, drink, and sleep thoughts of Yes. Who constantly look for existential meaning to the lyrics and extend them to their mundane existence. Who sit motionless, dazing while the group plays and then become ecstatic, cheering and clapping at the end. Get the picture? But others were also floating around at this "happening." PR men for record companies were scattered about the floor. And even your favorite (?) WYSL DJ wit the HUGE bushy hair was sitting right in front of me, smoking one of those funny looking cigarettes. It seems everyone was out looking for a good time. All I can say is, you shouldn't have held your breath. Great Gryphon! The lights dimmed as the MC came on stage, introducing himself "WPH oh shit!" After the crowd cheered, he rambled on about how he knows the way we feel and that it's because of big business. Actually, that little Freudian slip was probably done intentionally, but who cares, cause we all miss our educated radio station. Meanwhile the audience simmered down and Gryphon came on to do their set. A five member band from England, Gryphon led off with a number from their album, "Red Queen to Gryphon Three." Gryphon's music closely follows early Englist folk tradition, similar to the style of Steele-Eye Span. But of all the groups into classical folk rock, they are perhaps one of the best up and coming ones. It was eident that Gryphon was on their first American tour. They nervously played four numbers amidst floating balloons to conclude their forty minute set. But putting this aside, I found them to be uniquely refreshing. The music was melodic, with intermittent horns and pipes adding a dramatic effect. And the lead singer was a real gas. Barefoot and dressed like a peasant, he performed antics typical of Ian Anderson in his formative years, before he donned the bunny suits. bouncer-like guards watched the floor entrance, not admitting anyone without a proper stub. As you can guess by now, I had some trouble finding mine. Photos by Frost ... The ultimate spinach finale In their final number the group really cut loose. Saying that "audience participation would be grrrrrrreatly appreciated," Gryphon performed what was called a set of tunes. Perfect for Looney Tunes cartoons, it turned out to be variations on that sailor jig of Popeye fame. Faster and faster they played until you were oblivious to all else. The only thing which kept you in touch with reality was a constant buzzing in your ears. Try us again next year, Stravinsky, sea shells and sharks Everything finally settled down as I eventually got back to my seat. None too soon, for the introductory number was being piped from the speakers. An excerpt from Stravinsky's "Firebird Suite" brought the members Gryphon. Maybe Buffalo will be ready for ya by then. Intermission came and went. Usually it's rather enjoyable bumping into people you know, making connections along the way. However, the sound crew was performing the most annoying sound check ever. And if the constant bleeping wasn't bad enough, five huge In the midst of sharks, Yesoids—stran S nessI , of Yes on stage through a sea shell tunnel. The crowd went wild as the group members picked up their instruments and concluded the pompous number. Their set was awesome. I guess you can say that strangeness is a physical phenomenon. Here it certainly was fitting. Constructed to resemble the bottom of their Topographic Ocean, the keyboards were situated within a crab with moving pincers while a glistening shark was suspended above the drums. The audience loved it. Actually, I did think it made a cute little outhouse for the drummer. See, that's what you get for eating too much organic food. The minute Yes started to play, excitement buzzed through the air. Their first number was a little free form piece that turned into a King Crimson rip-off with a couple of electronic cha-chas added for good measure. Having sufficiently warmed up, the group proceeded into more familiar material, namely; "Close To the Edge," "And You And I," culminating in "Ritual" from the T.O. a'bum. The other two numbers Yes did were cuts from their soon to be released Relayer LP, timed nicely as an Xmas bundle. Enough! or too much? "Gates of Delirium," one of the new cuts, was superb The screen of flames reinforced the firey paced rhythm. It was here that Alan White, proved drumming was in his blood. His vigorous strokes along with gliding riffs on the bottleneck guitar led this throbber into a soft melodic piece. It was really nice. But once again the group overstretched themselves, Abstract fantasy is fine when it's within limits to be appreciated. Yes seldom does this. They always seem to drag out numbers until they become distorted, losing the original form. What happened to music that you could enjoy for a simple song, not a twenty minute relay of cacophonous abstraction? 1 still have another beef to pick. For all their pompous" haughtiness, Yes has a rotten live show. Their albums are soothing to listen to occasionally, but on stage they're stagnant. The members mostly stand in place like statues with smiles painted on their faces. Have you ever noticed that Jon Anderson doesn't seem to know what to do with his hands? At least Rick Wakeman put some extravagance into his performance.' His replacement, ex-Refugee member Patrick Moraz, was quite thorough on keyboards though he melted into his scales. Still having his music on stage, Moraz will probably use Yes as a stepping stone to better things. What it all boils down to is that Yes is now too damn big for their britches. For a while I thought there was something wrong wi|h me until the guy next to me commented; "I'm sure glad they know what they're doing 'cause I don't." Well, don’t worry about your sanity 'cause if anyone questions you, just answer Yes. Page ten . The Spectrum .

It is never raunchy or raucous. No matter how heavy it gets, it seems light at the same time. No matter how driving it gets, it always seems pretty. There are touches of other kinds of music in it, like Miles and Mahavishnu, and there are distant places in it too, like Mexico or Spain or Manhattan. We are lucky here in Buffalo. This Monday, December 9, we can hear the best music that our race has realized, and we can experience something that has long been buried within us. Chick Corea and Return to Forever have been communicating musically the very essence of human nature, the good within us all, the universalism of our inner needs, the desire to be loved and to love. This is the music they play, and the experience they share. They've been pursuing this direction for a few years now, and they get better and better and deeper and deeper, so take notice. A lot of people are into it already, and if you want to make them happy, ask them to describe a concert they've seen. What's the music like? It's like rock, with electric instruments and all, and a funky bottom.

TV comes to you; movies must be sought out C.H.F. No. 2; The Boob Tube (what a deceptively harmless name!) is a prostitute, pandering to the beloved lowest-common-audiencedenominator. Its position is enviable; having inured its audience to the rankest trash, it can present something purely mediocre, something less blatantly trashy, and hear it hailed as a quality product. C.H.F. No. 3: The movie industry, like any other industry, is concerned overwhelmingly with making money, by providing people with what they generally want to see. (That may seem obvious, but it must be remembered that most of Buffalo couldn't care less whether it ever sees Amarcord or Scenes From A Marriage, and they will probably never be shown here for that very reason.) So the blandest possible "entertainment" is the currency of the day. People want "nice stories" like they see in the box; and the tag "nice story" certainly doesn't preclude the presence of mayhem, gore, broken bodies, obscenities, and naked bodies. Indeed, those are the only things TV can't offer. As a result, the modern movie combines a typical television-type story with the above-mentioned titillating elements thrown in indiscriminately. It assumes that its audience is the TV audience twelve-year-old mentality. It is as provocative as oatmeal, and one-thousandth as tasteful. r Prodigal Sun Ji most part, but they are usually no fools. Pelham's Mayor of N.V.C. and City Council are both clowns and fools, propogating the illusion that anyone can spot an inept politico at first glance. (Mr. Nixon was, of course, elected by the largest plurality in American History.) Thritlingly dull With the presence of large numbers of gun-weilders and a potentially destroyed vehicle, massive destruction is a possibility. What we get is a runaway subway-car episode that is positively — Sure thing The Taking of Pelham One Two Three is a shrewdly commercial movie based on John Godey's shrewdly commercial novel. It has most of the elements necessary for commercial success. A sense of responsibility on the part of the cast, the writer, or the director is not one of those necessary elements. Robert Shaw, Martin Balsam, and two extras hijack one car of a New York subway train, demand a million dollar ransom, and threaten to kill one passenger for every minute the ransom is late. Walter Matthau, who works for the Transit Authority, has to figure out how they're going to get away with the money, since they're completely enclosed. Shaw was once a soldier. Balsam has a cold. Matthau seems irritated in the same way that Jack Lemmon cleaning up after him in The Odd Couple irritated him. So much for characterization. We all know that bureaucrats are clowns for the j {') ' breath-leaving, and what Shaw does near the end, which is the only remotely gripping thing in the movie and which I don't want to spoil for you if you're dragooned into seeing it. Peter Stone's screenplay has >uch gems as one of the cops delivering the ransom, rhetorically asking the equivalent of “How does a guy get out of this chicken outfit?" According to the posters, there was a director, Joseph Sargent. If you're in the market for this sort of thing, you can find something equally good on the video for free. Take in Pelham and you'll essentially be paying $2.50 to hear the cast swear. I can't get away from those disturbing thoughts on the state-of-themedia. If we could choose between televised schlock and good films, that would be tolerable. But the choice is becoming more and more academic. I have to recommend Pauling Kael's essay in the August 5 New Yorker for an informed opinion of the true state of the industry. There is a subtle and outrageous way in which we, as an audience, are being used, and we should become aware of it. Soon. Friday, 6 December 1974 The Spectrum . Page eleven . ; ( - l's ’ V?

The spectacular sex scenes hinted at in the ads (hinted? Hell, the picture of Charlotte Rampling clad in her boyfriend's pants and a pair of very skimpy suspenders is probably the film's biggest selling point) are not there, and one uses any of the but for sheer anticipated four-letter words thematic obscenity, this Italian film about ex-Nazis in Vienna can't conceivably be beaten. Max (Dirk Bogarde) works the late shift at the desk of an old-world hotel inhabited by such loveable types as the aged, lonely Countess who begs for small sexual favors l?ut must be content (at least this time around) with stories of his relationships with younger women, and the homosexual ballet dancer who needs him every night, first to direct a portable spotlight on his scaled-down performances and then to administer sleeping potions through a quick shot in the ass. Quiet as a mouse Max considers himself a "churchmouse," able to free of the twin shadows of Hitler and Nuremberg only by disappearing into total obscurity. The handful of fellow ex-officers who complete his coterie of friends, however, still insist that they were treated unfairly and despise Max's need for anonymity. Every few days they arrive to alter his routine somewhat with the meetings of a sort of demonic encounter group, during which they exorcise the guilt of one member at a time. This week, it’s Max's turn.

While Max flashes back to their first love, she begs her and husband to leave the hotel immediately inexplicably ends up staying behind "to shop" (she says) for a few extra days. She is Max's only concentration camp witness (he has murdered another one earlier in the week), and he is the only man who can dominate and enslave her completely. Each is terrified of nothing but the other, and once they are re-united, neither can ever walk away. - Unlucky in love Unfortunately, Max's friends are not so romantic; they want Lucia dead so that the porter may finally live. After he quits his job in order to watch her constantly, their food supply and electricity are cut off until the emaciated lovers are forced to stagger out to attempt an other-worldly but terribly predictable sort of escape. Very little actually happens during their stay in Max's apartment and the actions which the main v characters do take are, as often as not, utterly incomprehensible. But the torturous mind games the only with which they occupy each other feature of their war-time relationship which they can are childish and yet really bring back to life incredibly evil, quite worthy of the man who loved to photograph his naked, shivering prisoners from all angles and then use the pictures for target practice. - — Bogarde and Rampling express the great emotional torment which the high melodrama of the plot requires that they show through a series of long, pregnant stares and sensual pouts, respectively. The motivation that leads the apparently sane, happily married Lucia of the opening scenes to rush into the desperately sick relationship she shares with Max remains largely unexplained, as do most of her actions following this decision. The Night Porter is crammed full of mysterious symbolism and deep psychological implications, but there is ultimately much less here than meets the eye. Prodigal Sun �Dance '74: losing something in translation by Alice Jacobson Spectrum Arts Staff Perhaps the most illuminating feature of Dance '74, performed from November 15 to November 24, was the contrast between the artistic conceptions of the Black Dance Workshop and the Zodiaque Company. The former was represented by five dancers nearly identically clad in blue leotards, skirts, and nuns' headdresses. Music was recorded and explicitly served to point up the unifying theme in "Prophecy and Prayer." Zodiaque, a cult of eighteen or thereabouts, appeared to be wedded to the accompanying jazz trio, a fact which would have been less fatal if the marriage were an equal one. Carole Kariamu Welsh choreographed "Prophecy and Prayer," a haunting but less than evocative work in two parts. "Prophecy," a study in emotional and religious fervor, maintained a subtle ambiguity throughout. A siren moaned as dancers began a trio of half-gestures building in intensity. The dance itself was clearly transcendental in tone, but it was difficult to tell whether Billy Paul's song to Lucifer was a hymn or an exorcism. Body and soul Ms. Welsh made effective use of body exercises, soul movements, and human gestures to suggest the mediation of the ground and the sky through ecstasy. Dancers gathered and plowed in classical African gestures, their eyes darting toward the sky. There is no conflicts between earthbound and skyborne love here; both are sides of the same coin. "There's only one God/ One day the whole world will know him." The dancers soar, arms flapping heavenward, but nothing is shorter lived than ecstasy; the dancers, drugged with exhaustion, move drowsily offstage. The prophecy is over; prayer incongruous with Zodiaque.) Their prayer, like their prophecy, grows more sensual and heated with the music. Hands twist upward and finally repeat the Muslim gesture of reverence as the dancers bow. Too little devotion What was most lacking, generally, was the crisp verve needed to generate the audience's belief in the elevated sense of devotion. One dancer, a notable exception, very calmly combined sultry movements with angular swings of her long arms. Was this Ms. Welch? We expect so, as she was listed on the program as one of the dancers. "Lo/13/ve," choreographed by Linda Swiniuch, is Zodiaque's (unconscious?) ode to State University life. Seventeen chairs remain on the tiny studio floor, severely constricting movement and focus. In "Searchlessness," the first of 13 pieces, clever advantage is taken of the effect by having the group make tentative leaps from their chairs. Then, one by one, each circuits the chairs in her own style. And then there's the old "weave-the-net" mass walk, a frenzied and accurate picture of UB/U.S. life. "Sweet Virginia,” written (as was most of Zodiaque's music) by pianist Ray Leslee and performed by Art Levinowitz (sax), Jay Herscher (flute), and Leslee (piano and vocal), typified Zodiaque's attempt to render the music literally. Chairs and surplus dancers immobile, the male and female dancers have just enough room to walk blissfully (and gingerly) hand in hand. flutist and then the saxophone player in unison, suddenly breaking into the jitterbug. Concrete movement is fine, as long as it looks good. Awkward motions should be redeemed by their originality or wit; here, there was neither. An irrelevant ideological note: "Lesbian Dream" is the saving grace in a repertoire whose theme is shaded by a very male-subjective lyric. ("I am a woman in pain/ Waiting for the wind to blow my tears away" is a typical lyric from "Diamonds.") It is also the most moving by far, depicting a woman running among lines of dumb-faced people walking in slow motion. It is visually but not athletically impressive, a fault which is also typical of the pieces. "Courante," for example, was the story of a group of beginning ballet students who dance badly. Period. It called to mind a New Yorker review of a drag ballet company which, in grotesquely mimicking ballet form, tells us nothing new. To mimic is to portray in all seriousness the best, not the worst, of the class. “In a Time," written by Maya Angelou, is another lovely song which loses something through literal translation into dance form. The rhyming is studied: "Half-truths told and entire lies/ My conscience thunders/ The pain stalks into plunder." What that last line means we'll most likely never know, but its meaning isn't much enhanced by a new Flawed 'Diamonds' “Diamonds," too, exhibited this flaw: Ms. Swiniuch allows Leslee's lyrics to concretize the dance's meaning, and his music to generate stark pop movements. In "Dilemma," the dancers mimic the rendering of the "touch me, feel me" theme portrayed by the daisy chain of dancers. What individual dancers lack in expertise should be compensated for by bravade, at least, or a rigorous attention to a limited range of pieces. The number of pieces taken on by the group was itself too great, perhaps, considering the time and energy needed to master each one. It's in the detail, not the scope, where dance's potential greatness resides. Arte. Ray likes to work with mixed media, which is what led him into an association with Linda without amplification, which was a rare treat. The quality of the musicians' performances was superb, Swiniuch of the Dance Dept. I would say it was a not only in the solo spots, but begins. Yusef Lateef's somber flute and cello duet is a fitting background for the vesper-like "Prayer." The nuns walk in single file, as if in a convent courtyard. (Jim McKinley's lighting design included a pair of stained-glass windows, just right for the nuns but Dance and musk go hand in hand in the program 'Lo/13/ve' by Willa Bassen Spectrum Music Editor Although the Theatre Department's program, Dance '74, was publicized as a dance event, it was really a multi-media presentation, the music being equally as important as the dance. Perhaps if this had been made clear, audience perception would have been different. The piece "Lo/13/ve" had a live band for accompaniment, a refreshing change from the tinny strains of some ancient sound system that we were subjected to during the other numbers. (It puzzles me: dance is, and has always been, to varying degrees, dependent on the music. Doesn't the Theater Department realize how much a good stereo system would enhance their programs? Ah well, enough of pet peeves.) Leslee in the lead At any rate, Ray Leslee, composer of most of the music of "Lo/13/ve," is a dynamic and refreshing young composer/musician/talent who has been gracing our campus for a few years now. With such diverse trips as the Manhattan School of Music and a stint with Jay and the Americans behind him, you will usually find him at the center of something exciting and innovative. For instance, he was the clown behind the piano with the Commedia del' Prodigal Sun lucky meeting From the beginning of the piece, the interplay between the dancers and the musicians is delicately set up: as the dancers move aimlessly around the chairs in the piece called "Searchlessness," it is as if the chord changes are pulling their strings. The music the dancers stop and look, stops momentarily Ray gives them a part authoritative, questioningly and the movement part impish, part in-crowd look — — — begins again. Full range in the overall combined sound Leslee's music is excellent for dance interpretation: his grasp of music and composition allow him a full range of expressive qualities: from “Sweet Virginia" up-head boogie to the slow moving "Lesbian Dream" to the flowing, half-melancholy "I Believe In Us" to the almost arrogant "No One Can Take My Love." As a mixed media presentation, I found "Lo/13/ve" a very entertaining piece; my attention was constantly diverted and divided between the musicians and the dancers both groups were a pleasure to experience. And as they complemented each other so well, the whole became more than the sum of its parts. — The trio was composed of Art Levinowitz on saxes.

Gryphon Red Queen To Gryphon Three (Bell) "Checkmate," the last movement, starts off with Harvey's synthesizer mimicking a clavichord, but Gotland's bassoon soon takes the lead. In this piece particularly, the number and variety of variations off the main theme are nothing short of brilliant. At one point, the keyboards give an interesting glimpse of Bach-influenced jazz. As the movement, the album, and the chess game reach a climax, the lead is shared among all the instruments (bassoon, recorder/keyboards, guitar and Philip Nestor's bass). The music can best be described as English madrigal (medieval folk music) influenced by classical, notably Bach, with occasional jazz influences appearing, performed by a mixture of medieval and electronic instruments. A strange combination, to be sure, but it works well. The overall sound is something like a more mellow version of early Yes, with the chess theme for the album reminding one of Yes' view of love-as-a-chess game ("Your Move/AII Good People"). Because their music requires some appreciation of rock, classical, and madrigal, it isn't for everybody. However, the taste is easily acquired after a few listenings, and Gryphon provides superb music for quietly getting into. They're a band that, judging by the album and their Aud concert, really likes what they're doing and does it well. We hope —Mike McGuire & they're around for a while. Steve Milligram Some albums are fine for partying or dancing and some are better for just spacing out to. Gryphon's latest album fits the second category with distinction. Gryphon is a British woodwind-based instrumental group that was little-known here until their current tour with Yes. Their recent appearance at the Aud left some shouting for more, even though Yes was next on the bill. Red Queen To Gryphon Three is a concept album, its four movements (the only way to describe them) following the form of a chess game. "Opening Move," the first movement, is somewhat reminiscent of Bach's cantatas updated to rock. The theme is carried on Brian Gulland's bassoon (yes, bassoon) and Richard Harvey's keyboards, except for a short and fine guitar solo by Graeme Taylor. "Second Spasm" starts off on Harvey's recorder and then goes to a more conventional guitar/bass theme, simulating a chess offense. As the offense falters, the keyboards assert themselves, with guitar and crumhorn ditties interspersed. "Lament" covers the middle of the game, as one player establishes an advantage. It starts off with a lead shared by guitar and recorder, the only time those instruments co-exist on the album. The more somber bassoon takes over, only to yield to another guitar/bass lead with some nice work on tympani by i -IL ■ — 2 SUPER SHOWS What? Sip Bacardi before you mix it?

WOW ft IAIVEY ft CMEY PMSBflS WISHBONE *■* * Ash I've been discovering something of late that may not be as obvious as it seems: you can tell something about a record by its cover. Just look at the cover of Maria's new album. Gee, I wonder what they're trying to get across? Maria Muldaur used to sing at folk festivals. She used to sing folk songs. She used to wear long skirts. Then one day she made an album. They released a single off it: "Midnight at the Oasis." To the surprise of many (because it was such a good song) not only was it a hit, but it was a HIT! They even played it on my parent's radio station. Now Maria sings on Midnight Special and the Tonight Show. Now she wears tight pants, midriff tops and an ever-present flower behind her ear. Hippety hype: ride sexy Maria's camel for free. In the record business, there is always a battle between the artist and the PR men. Maria's career is a case in point. So is her new album. There are a number of songs on Waitress in a Donut Shop that promote the slinky sexy vamp image so obviously a product of the "men in the offices" (even the album title is part of it). Then there are the rest of the songs (happily, they make up the majority of the material) which utilize her real talents. The image doesn't even really make sense it's diametrically opposed to her background, her ability, and the sound she fits into. Initially, what was so refreshing about Maria's voice was its lack of pretension. She'd lift up to anote and qufyer there, on the verge of cracking or going flat but making it anyway. You felt like you were sweating each note out with her, and it gave her a sincere, down-home quality. This quality naturally lends itself to music that is equally unpretentious; not necessarily any one specific style (i.e., "country"), as much as a certain simplicity and purity of feeling. At any rate, down to the specifics of her new LP. — iSi _ Maria Muldaur Waitress in a Donut Shop (Reprise) lure. It’s surprisingly dry, not sweet. Lightbodied, not heavy.

RUM SO PROOF On one side of the scale, we have a bunch of lavishly arranged songs, all revolving around the same old theme on the same level (as you can tell just from the titles): "Squeeze Me," "It Ain't the Meat It's the Motion," "I'm a Woman," etc. These songs follow two basic patterns. One is the '40's "big band" sound, replete with male choruses, big orchestrations, heavy brass sections, and so on. The music itself is done very well, but Maria's fresh-air voice gets lost in the smoky night-club atmosphere. Then there are the kind of boogie/blues tunes which require a heavy voice. Maria tries to raunch hers out with techniques like rasping and sliding, but it's very self-defeating. Both of the above types gross me out. They're done very well in terms of arrangement, musical performance, orchestration. That is, they're very polished. But they're just not her, and when she is put in their settings, the result is very inconcgruous. "Squeeze Me" could be a filler by Doc Serverinsen during the midnight break. As for "I'm a Woman," originally a slow slinker rendered by Peggy Lee, now it's pass the terbacky, stomp yer feet, and pound yer head aginst the brick wall: Maria: "Cause I'm a woman, w-o-m-a-n” Male Chorus: "She's a woman" she's a woman, she's a woman, she's a woman as far as I'm concerned, this song is just about as sensuous as a potato sack. OK. So there we have the shit that the PR men at Reprise apparently think is going to sell Maria to the masses. The rest of the album is composed of some really fine tunes with a variety of feelings and styles. For instance. There's "Oh Papa," a sort of slow "Midnight" (written by the same author, David Nichtern). Here Maria's voice wafts up and down the melody line with the same airy quality as the lyrics ("like moonlight shining on the bay," that is). Or "Honey Babe Blues," a moderate-tempo country blues. Without the raunch or slink sound that are such put-ons, Maria sings a very effective blues her own way. (Of course, it doesn't hurt to have Doc and Merle Watson and David Lynley setting it up behind you). "Cool River," a beautiful little number by Anna McGarrigle, comes out like a clear mountain stream via a fairly simple arrangement and back up vocals by Anna and her sister Kate, who both have the same kind of sweet country warble Maria does. And as a matter of fact, one of the best songs is done by a small a capella chorus: a traditional tune called "Travelin' Shoes." I could go on, but I think you get the picture. Maria's new disc is almost as enjoyable as her first. She's got most of the same large host of talent helping her out, and for the most part, there's a large enough diversity of material to make each cut a new experience.

'Klansman': going nowhere in a flat directionless film' For just about every film that makes its way to the theatres, there is a reason. Some films are made to cash in on the current fad, as is the case with the "Kung Fu" flood, and the recent "disaster" flicks. Others are simply adaptations of current best-selling novels, and still others are put out to rekindle interest in an almost forgotten subject by presenting it in a new light (for example, Executive Action). they're These categories have one common bond then They hit hard and fast and "moneymakers." all - fade into oblivion. The Klansman could fit into each of these categories, yet manages to avoid them all. It misses fad status by coming out five years after the Ku Klux Klan is front-page news; it steers clear of any of the good books written on the Klan, and in doing so becomes a shoot-em-up fairy tale rather than an insightful study. The question is, why was The Klansman ever made? I really don't know. The film begins with Sheriff Track Bascom (Lee Marvin) trying to find out if Southerner Breck avenge a death. From here, the film goes exactly where you would expect it to. By the time the shooting starts, it just doesn't seem to matter anymore. It's obvious that director Terence Young had no idea where the film was supposed to lead. He makes no effort to explain the minor sequences in the film, such as how the woman who was raped in the beginning winds up with Breck Stancil after her husband leaves her. It just sort of happens, as do the other confusing aspects of the film. Mr. Young's casting leaves much to be desired. There is a scene where a white Reverend confronts Breck with the plight of the southern black, attacking Breck's conscience and demanding answers to trick questions. This hard-driving, devoted fighter is portrayed by the most monotonous (and forgettable) non-actor to make his way onto the screen (with the possible exception of Joe Namath). Even Burton at his worst makes handling this upstart look like playtime. For the most part. Young, a former James Bond director, gives a very poor showing. Sparks burn out The acting is an non-directional as the film is, with a few exceptions. Lee Marvin is helpless with Sheriff Track Bascom, and seems to have all but given up before the film begins. He sounds like he's reading the lines for the second time, occasionally remembering what they're referring to. He shows a small spark of interest in a scene with Burton where he reveals his membership in the Klan, but there is an undeniable feeling that both stars would rather be elsewhere. Richard Burton must be hurting to appear in the films he's been in lately. He keeps his pride, though, by putting no effort into the lousy parts, and this one is no exception. His limping, contrary, close-mouthed Breck is an exercise in non-commitment. It takes less than one minute to figure out what's going to happen to him at the film's end, and his character just glides through until then. Burton quickly abandons the Southern accent, and it's a good thing. The first two scenes consist of nothing but unintelligible mumbling. On second thought, maybe that was because he was ashamed of the lines.

Family Fun — Friday; 6 December 1974 The Spectrum Page fifteen . . �Dance, dramabow to budget cut Students can expect a decrease in the number of performances sponsored by the UUAB Dance and Drama Committee next semester. In addition to the reduction, they will probably not be of as high a caliber as they have been in the past. The reason foMhis is a lack of money with which the Committee can work. Funded by Sub-Board, the Committee asked for $15,000 last year but received only $4,000, $2,000 for dance and $2,000 for drama. The Committee feels this amount is exceedingly small, especially since it could cost $4,000 to bring one group of quality performers. So far, $3,200 of the original $4,000 allotment has been used to pay for six events the Committee has sponsored either alone or jointly with other campus organizations. Student interest in dance and drama seems to be quite high every performance this year has been sold out. A recent presentation sponsored by the Dance & Drama — Committee featured Mummenschanz, a Swiss mime troupe, at Amherst High School, which attracted about 300 students and 300 non-students. Beset by difficulties The members of the Committee dislike holding events off-campus because they feel it cuts down on the number of University students attending. The disadvantage of scheduling events on campus is the lack of space. Presently on the Harriman Theatre Studio and Baird Hall are available. Clark Hall is not available due to team workouts and an extra cost for maintenance. Additional problems are caused by the Committee's need to prepare for events in advance. It must determine the overhead costs as well as the fee of visiting artists. Problems therefore arise in getting the Federal aid to The which the Dance and Drama Committee is entitled. the the Arts adminsters Council of New York State New York for Events in Cultural National Endowment placed in State. To qualify for this aid, a request must be will pay The Endowment presentation. July for a specific already has While the Committee of the cost. one-third it is generally times, several of the Endowment made use difficult to schedule events far enough in advance. The Dance and Drama Committee has also considered separating into two committees. In this way, the members feel they can devote more emphasis to their repsective presentations. So far this move is only in the planning stage and tho effect of this move on funding is now known. The Committee will submit a detailed budget in May, requesting an increase over last year's budget. Students are urged to voice their opinions supporting dance and drama. Interested students can find the Dance and Drama Committee in the UUAB office in 261 Norton Hall. —Thom Kristich CATCH UP ON YOUR SOCIOLOGY ON THE WAY HOME.

And it is the sum of our particular experiences which leads me to rumble and churn inside when I consider the Center’s possible death, while a complicated, over-educated Administration misses the finer point of what-for and how the Center lives: with directness and simplicity it lives . , education at its best. Today, for example, when I arrived a( the Center to pick up Aaron, I met a “paid" staff member (no longer paid because funds are gone) in the Staff Workroom who was sorting and fitting together tiny pieces of monkey and zebra and doing all this “after hours." Her penguin puzzles attitude after a long, unpaid, under-staffed day was not “I’m tired of the crisis and the kids and this damn puzzle mess,” but “Now the morning kids will be able to see the puzzles whole before tackling - , — them in pieces.” Clearly, very, very clearly, I have observed that Day Care Center has extremely valuable lessons to teach/reteach big-people educators and students in every department on campus. the UB Paula C.

Editor's I should like to use this forum to let the what is graduate students at U.B. know happening on campus and in the State; I ) Graduate students who have been expecting that tuition waiver from the Graduate School which will cover their University tuition, are now receiving letters from the Bursar's Office (Hayes (') stating that their accounts will not be cleared if the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP, previously Scholar Incentive) has not been completed. It is Important that every graduate student who will receive a tuition waiver or tuition remission inform himself of his obligation. Me must file the TAP application early enough in the Fall semester to allow eight-weeks for a reply from the Albany Office of Regents Scholarship and Examination Center. b) Mis application must be complete and a) correct. c) Item No. 13 should indicate that his tuition assistance shall be in the amount of the difference between tuition and scholar incentive award. d) This student is obliged to provide the U.B. Office of Student Accounts with evidence of rejection (should that be the case). e) If, after eight weeks the graduate student hasn’t received correspondence, he should initiate a follow-up to the same address. Although this procedure may seem obtuse, it does provide significant expenditure offset, allowing the Graduate School to extend tuition waivers to a greater number of graduate students. 2) Graduate Students Beware! There is another change in the registration system, and don’t allow yourself to become a victim for lack of understanding! The registration for Spring Semester 75, and thereafter, shall provide only three weeks to get new courses. Special permission, instructor consents, etc., will not be considered after that three week period.

Last year, some of you may recall, Jonathan Kozol spoke here and everyone got all excited about not eating Thanksgiving dinner unless our parents made a donation to the cause of free schools. Mr. Kozol is a fine man, and free schools are fine things to have, but I have no idea how much either benefited by our fasting About two weeks ago, the chaplain at a well-known American university succeeded in getting a substantial portion of the student body to skip one meal on their meal plan and donate the savings to help out with the world famine situation.

Do the world a small favor. Take home a picture of a kwashiorkor victim this Thanksgiving and drag it out sometime before desert. If it takes your appetite away, congratulate yourself; you’re human.

One hundred thousand in Bangladesh alone in the past six weeks, a group over four times the size of the UB student body. Ten times the number will die before the end of. the year, just in this relatively small country. Of all the issues with which the University has someone’s life. And write letters to your honorable Congressmen and Senators, letting them know that this is one of the cruelest acts ever committed by the U.S. To slander, burglarize and lie during a political campaign is one thing; but, to me, belching our way through Thanksgiving with the eyes of a starving world on us is a much more despicable crime. For God’s sake, think of the children! A child, if he does recover from starvation, is never the same. Permanently crippled or retarded, vulnerable to any how in hell can any of us pretend to be disease human and not do something about it?

Friday, 6 December 1974 �Legal Dope School budget Buffalo city school system facing monetary problems by Ken Satten Most drivers are well aware of the possible physical dangers of drunken driving. But few people know the legal liabilities. In New York State, the legal consequences of driving while intoxicated can be quite severe Conviction for drunken driving is a misdemeanor and is punishable and/or $500 fine. A second conviction results in a felony and is punishable by not less than 60 days in jail and/or $200 and no more than two years imprisonment and/or $2,000 fine. A prior conviction is one that has occurred within ten years of the offense. by Howard Crane by maximum one year imprisonment Spectrum The Buffalo city school system is facing another deficit year. Fiscally dependent on the City Council, the system was forced to adopt a deficit budget when it was granted only $91 million for the year, $5 million short of its proposed $96 million budget. Following the announcement of this news, James Burns, City Finance Officer, contacted Ewald Nyquist, State Commissioner of Education, informing him that the Buffalo Board of Education had adopted a deficit budget, a violation of state law. Commissioner Nyquist then confronted the Board, asking members what they intended to do to resolve the apparent illegality. The Board responded that it could make cuts in the $96 million budget amounting to a maximum of $1.3 million, if the city would agree to grant the schools a supplemental appropriation of $3.7 million. Claude D. Clapp, Deputy Superintendent of Buffalo Schools added that if the Board does not get the additional $3.7 million, it will be unable to meet its payroll obligations. To be convicted for driving while intoxicated after pleading not guilty, it must be shown through a chemical test that within two hours after the arrest there was .10 percent or more by weight of alcohol in the individual’s blood. The amount of alcohol in someone’s blood can be determined by a medical or chemical analysis of the individual’s blood, breath, urine or saliva. If you are stopped for drunken driving, a police officer may bring you to the station and request that a breathalizer be taken. You may refuse to take the breathalizer. However, your license will be automatically revoked provided the officer warned you that refusal would result in revocation, whether or not you are found guilty. Motor vehicle policy is to revoke the license for a six month period, beginning when the license is surrendered. If you are charged with driving while intoxicated and you choose to plead not guilty, it is not required that you obtain the services of a lawyer to defend you at your trial. However, as a practical matter without an attorney one is put at a great disadvantage. The stakes are high. Conviction for a misdemeanor leaves a criminal record in addition to the penalties. The District Attorney’s office has a plea bargaining policy. With the expertise of a lawyer and given certain conditions, there is a good chance of having the charge reduced. Roll-over salaries Last year, when the Buffalo schools faced a similar deficit of S3.1 million, (he Board asked the city for a budget supplement and was turned down. This forced the school district to delay the S3.1 million debt by "rolling over” the payment of some salaries until this year. The supplemental S3.7 million would maintain this year's rollover at last year's level. Mr. Clapp noted that "rolling over" seems to be a common practice when the need presents itself, but the School Board has been advised by the City Corporation Counsel that "it is not a practice that any financial officer would recommend." If you have been arrested for-driving while intoxicated, come up to the Legal Aid Clinic in Room 340 Norton Union.

Mr. Clapp feels that "large city school districts across the country are in the throes of the most severe financial crunch," and that there "does not appear to be any relief in sight." The Philadelphia School District, for instance, ran a S60 million budget deficit several years ago, but because of its fiscal independence from the city, was able to borrow the difference.

Even so, such practices as borrowing large amounts of money and rolling over are potentially disastrous for non-profit organizations, like school districts. Taxes in Buffalo and elsewhere are hitting their legal limits, while the ability of taxpayers to afford them is decreasingg. More state help The Buffalo Board of Education, its staff, and elected officials, Mr. Clapp explained, have decided to launch an intensive campaign for more state aid. Representatives of the school district plan to meet with state legislators to ask for financial relief. Backed by the Buffalo Teachers Federation and by all school employees’ organizations, this appeal is in recognition that the city is at the limit of its ability to raise adequate funds. Mr. Clapp feels that only increased state aid is the ultimate solution to the problem. The state aid system, developed at a time when the state’s cities were financially well-off and its rural areas were poor, is based on attendance. School districts receive state aid on the basis of how many students attend school each day, not how many are enrolled. The Buffalo City School District attendance runs at about 80 percent of total enrollment, while most surrounding suburban school districts run at 97-98 percent, putting the city schools at a big disadvantage in the scramble for funds.* City’s fault? Thomas Pisa, president of the Buffalo Teachers Federation, agrees that more state aid is imperative. He noted that there have been several bills introduced in the state legislature over the past few years to change the present archaic system, and that the chances of such changes occurring appear better than ever now that Hugh Carey is about to become Governor. Mr. Pisa feels that the city has not adequately funded the Board of Education in the past. The city has reduced the percentage of its budget going to education every year over the past few years, and in the eyes of Mr. Pisa, is thus not assuming its full responsibility. He said that in comparison with other cities, Buffalo schools receive the second lowest per capita funding in the state. The Board of Education is expecting a reply to its request for supplemental funds by January. If the city does not respond, there will be, as Mr. Clapp remarked, some “very difficult decisions to be made.” UUAB Fine Arts Film Comm, proudly presents ARTS—GIFTS—FOODS BankAmerlcard Card Master A Empire • December 7 & 8 Little Murders I Directed by Alan Arkin Starring Elliot Gould Marcia Rodd We carry FRYE & HERMAN Boots!

Change magazine suggested that students study because they have nothing better to do. The causes of the sixties are over, said Change, and the counterculture has been absorbed by the main culture on one hand and by heavily drug and religious-oriented elements on the other. an obstacle to higher grades. Increased enrollment opens colleges, and the grading pool, to students with a broader range of abilities. James Bartoo, Dean of Penn State’s graduate school said: “If you go back 15 years and look at the percentage of high school graduates going on to college, it was probably about 50 percent. Now, it is closer to 65 percent. As you dip deeper into the pool of available students, grades should drop.” to —continued from page 1— be ‘Grinds’ Some contend that college grades are rising because students are studying more. Change magazine released a poll of Yale faculty in which 75 said undergraduate percent performance has increased over past years. If this is true, then “grade inflation” may not be inflation at all, but a re-valuing of grades to reflect real academic Nothing to do Still another reason grades have risen is that at the height of the Vietnam War, many teachers were reluctant to give students low grades and make them lose their 2-S deferments. The teachers may have gotten into the habit of awarding higher grades and continued doing so even though the draft is ended. Finally, just as inflation in the economy feeds that college suggests The evidence accomplishment. students, even if they are not on the average as itself, grade inflation may be self-perpetuating. capable as their predecessors, are working harder, Schools that don’t wish to raise their grades may to in order to give their perhaps even hard enough to overcome initial find themselves forced graduates an even chance to get into graduate and disabilities. The main reason cited for this is economic professional school. Newsweek reported that gave up pressure. Students are applying in record numbers to officials at Hamilton College in New York when year hold line last grades attempts to the on other professional schools law, medical, dental and and graduate programs. The resulting competition their graduates couldn’t compete with graduates has fostered what Yale President Kingman Brewster from other schools with inflated grades. Admissions officials would not accept Hamilton’s argument that terms an atmosphere of “grim professionalism.” their C students were as good as another school’s B students. No ‘gentleman’s C’s”* Egalitarian trends in higher education over the few decades have also contributed to competition. Before the rise of state-supported schools, increased veteran’s benefits and growing prosperity, college education was the preserve of the privileged, the upper classes in American society. Students often took their studies less seriously, confident that their fathers would set them up in the family business, their uncle’s bank or friend’s law firm. The "gentleman’s (”' was the normal grade, because academic success was largely irrelevant to success in later life. This is no longer true. After World War II the colleges accepted thousands of unprivileged students So what? William Keogh, assistant Dean of Stanford University Law School said in Time: “Everyone coming in with a 4.0 makes it hard to evaluate the grades.” Dr. Keogh said Stanford would have to rely more heavily on standardized test results like the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Competition for places in graduate and professional schools has never been more intense. Inflated grades makes that competition even more difficult for admissions committees and students alike. When 40 percent students in a class get A’s, the student at the top of the class will find it hard to distinguish himself or herself from the classmate who worked the bare minimum to earn an A. Graduate and professional school officials have the same problem. past who could not take success for granted. They had to make good in college to make good in life. As a result, they were more highly motivated than their upper-class predecessors and fellow students. SkCU 5 pm. 7 SKI SWAP!! December 6th and 7th Sat.)

Page twenty The Spectrum Friday, 6 December 1974 . . �Cagers slow down action, upset LIU for first win by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer BROOKLYN After losing to Fairleigh Dickinson University, 81-57, last Tuseday night, the basketball Bulls bounced back the following night, upsetting Long Island University (LIU), 75-72, for their first win of the young season. Buffalo could not crack the Knights’ full court press on Tuesday. “We put the ball on the floor too much,” said Bull’s coach Leo Richardson. “We got over-confident and we weren’t ready at all for tonight’s game,” he added. “We got no help from the bench,” continued Richardson. Starting Forward Bob Dickinson played poorly in the first half, but the substitutes played even worse. The Bulls jumped out to a ten point lead early in the first half of the LIU contest. The Blackbird defense stiffened and they outscored the Bulls 20-3 in one — stretc j1 However, Buffalo remained patient, something they haven’t been in previous games. “We slowed it down,” said Richardson, referring to the Bulls usual fast break style. “That was the slowest we’ve ever played,” he added. The Bulls halved their turnovers in the LIU contest as compared to the Fairleigh Dickinson affair, obviously a major factor in the turnabout, About two weeks ago The Spectrum’s columnist Clem Colucci flippantly intimated that the Bulls would be better off without star forward Otis Horne, noting how well the NBA Buffalo Braves had done with the absence of some of their stars. An incomplete grade from last spring has rendered Horne temporarily ineligible for competition. Despite the upset of LIU, which seemingly proves Colucci’s point, the Bulls still need Horne, as evidenced by the fact that they were outrebounded in both contests. Buffalo also missed Horne’s fine outside shooting. Senior co-captain Bob Dickinson, playing against an old frined (LIU’s John scrimmage, Gary Domzalski (left), shown here bringing the bayl upcourt in an intersquad Dickinson. Fairleigh to and Syracuse lead the Bulls in scoring totaling 38 points in tosses Oddly enough Gary was held to just three by Long Island's Tom Brigone, despite the fact the that the Bulls beat Long Island for their first win of the year. Domzalski still leads squad in scoring. O’Reilly), appeared to be really psyched up. Dickinson scored 18 points, second on the Bulls to Mike Vone’s 19. “Dicks” also shined defensively, holding O’Reilly scoreless and contributing a season high of six steals. In both games the Bulls were outplayed at center. Buffalo freshman Sam Pellom was hampered by inexperience, allowing LIU star Ruben Rodriguez to dominate the boards and score seemingly at will, Fairleigh Dickinson center Steve Solop also outplayed the youngster, pulling down many offensive rebounds. Pellom did clog up the middle for Buffalo blocking six shots against the Knights. GIF by Bruce Engel It’s difficult to rejoice over, but the fact remains that a long overdue (perhaps so long that it no longer matters) action has been taken by the Student Association Executive Committee. Last Tuesday night the Executive Comm’ftee nominated Alan Rosenberg for the position of Student Athletic Review Board chairman. The vacancy of this post for the last few months can be held largely accountable to the confusion and controversy that has surrounded the athletic budget this fall. SA President Frank Jackalone was confident that Rosenberg could handle the limited duties that would be assigned to him. "I think he has had enough experience to be a good administrator.' the SA President said. However, it appears that A1 will do little more than keep the fcooks. “His job will not be qne «f setting priorities,” Frank told me in his office the other day. “All we need is a liaison to get us the answer we need from the athletic department.” Executive vice president Scott Salimando added. Several members of the Executive Committee who missed Tuesday’s meeting were very dissatisfied with the decision, not that there is anyone any better who is interested in the post and went through the application procedure. The dissenters still feel the post should have been left vacant rather than let Rosenberg have it. It would be hard for anyone to deny that Al received the appointment by any means other than default. However, it should be stated in his defense that he is reasonably knowledgeable on these issues and has successfully worked with athletic personnel in the past. Many of you should remember Mr. Rosenberg from the Travel Power incident in Ellicott two weeks ago when 40 to 50 people lost their plane rides home for the Thanksgiving recess. Rosenberg should not be held accountable for that unfortunate situation, for it certainly was not his fault. However, it is indicative of how he operates. He likes to deal on a high risk level and has been wheeling and dealing in student politics for the better part of the last three years. Eventually he had to get caught in some sort of bind. To say that his name is mud right now would be an understatement. If A1 has another accident in his new position (assuming he meets with the approval of the Student Assembly), it will be tar more serious. The entire athletic program hangs in the balance. The situation is very tenous indeed. All the powers involved seem to bet getting into secretive discussions concerning the future of athletics and some pretty gloomy rumors are starting to fly around. What we have here is an abrasive yet personable individual walking into a situation that may require the ultimate in kid gloves. 1 wish him all the luck in the world. 1 suspect he’ll need it. Meanwhile, the SA officers have been hard at work toward another long overdue endeavor. The survey, designed to determine exactly how the entire student body feels about athletics as well as the other things the SA funds, is an excellent step toward the proper representation of student desires. Only your participation in it can make it work. If it works it would be the biggest boon possible to a representative student government. If it doesn’t work, we may be stuck with the same problems forever, although it is possible that athletics might not survive very long. The SA officers would like it to work so that they will have something to go on, some proof to support budgetary policy. If the survey receives wide participation and is not acted upon by next year’s officers, they will probably come under as much criticism as this year’s officers have. And they will deserve it a lot by Dave Hnath After a short vacation, the Wizard is back to continue his recent success on the pro football scene, and take a stab at the college bowl games as well.

No. 41 University Wednesday, 4 December 1974 of New York at Buffalo Womens’ Studies and Furnas receive conditional approval Charterin Committee approves nine of the colleges action,” adding that it was apparent that College representatives are willing to discuss this point and work to resolve the problem. by Mike McGuire Spectrum Staff Writer by Richard Korman Womens’ Studies and Clifford Furnas Colleges the only two Colleges that must comply with certain conditions set down by the Chartering Committee if announced plans this they are to receive charters week to oppose the Committee’s recommendations. In a statement released Monday, Womens’ Studies announced that it was initiating a petition drive and mass protest under the banner “self-determination, not sex discrimination to counter the false issue of reverse discrimination.” A rally will be held tomorrow in the Fillmore Room at 12 noon. Members of Clifford Furnas College will also discuss possible courses of action at a staff meeting tonight. Jerry Thomer, acting headmaster, said Monday that while the College will explore the possibility of joining the Colleges Council, the one stumbling block to its receiving a three year charter, he would seek permission from the administration to allow Clifford Furnas to remain independent. Representatives from the College of Progressive Education have not yet decided what action, if any, they will take in response to the Committee’s recommendation not to grant the College a charter. Campus Editor — The Colleges Chartering Committee recommended last week that nine of the twelve existing Collegiate Units be chartered. In a detailed report to University President Robert Ketter dated Nov., 27, the Committee asked that the College of Progressive Education not be granted a charter, but instead continue as a workshop — beginning next semester. The Committee also requested, after two months of open hearings, that charters be granted to Clifford Furnas and Womens’ Studies College for periods of three to five years, respectively, only if they fulfill the following requirements: Clifford Furnas must agree to participate in the Colleges Council, and Womens’ Studies must abandon its policy of excluding men from both its governance and some of its courses and activities, and clarify its use of the word “woman” in its charter. (College Z, which studies law and criminal justice, decided to disband rather than seek chartering. Parts of Z’s program are expected to be continued by Urban Studies College.] Major changes seen In a telephone interview Monday, Dr. Ketter said he will decide no later than Jan. 1, 1975 which Colleges should be chartered. The New Year’s Day deadline is presumably designed to give students enough time to register for courses in those Colleges which receive charters. The nine Colleges recommended for unconditional chartering were granted charters ranging in duration from three to Five years. Two of these Colleges Cora P. Maloney (formerly College E) and Urban Studies will be subject to a “limited review” after 18 months. The recommended chartering of most of the existing Colleges stood in sharp contrast to fears voiced by many Collegians last spring that the passage of the Reichert Prospectus by the Faculty-Senate and the subsequent chartering process would destroy many of the Colleges, particularly the more radical ones. But in the opinion of soern observers, the chartering process has drastically transformed several of the Colleges from the loosely innovative, experimental bodies they once were to more conventional academic units. - - Possible duplication cited In denying a charter to the College of Progressive Education, the Committee cited plans by members of the Faculty of Educational Studies to develop a program similar to that proposed by the College According to Chartering Committee guidelines, each College was required to demonstrate its uniqueness within the University. Furthermore, personnel changes and the decision of the new master to begin a full year’s sabbatical, along with possible policy disagreements among members of the College, led the Chartering Committee to believe that a Workshop format would be the best way for the College to develop its program The Committee’s insistence that Clifford Furnas College join the Colleges Council stems from its belief that active participation in the Collegiate System is inherent in the requirements of the Prospectus. “To require all the Colleges except to participate in a common system seems neither fair nor wise,” the Committee report explained. But even if the Prospectus did not exist, the report continued, “cooperation among the Colleges seems eminently desirable on both practical and intellectual grounds.” Favor and praise Besides the conditions which Womens’ Studies College must meet if the Committee’s recommendations are endorsed by Dr. Ketter, the Committee also found other problems which it said affected the Colleges chartering (see accompanying story). Despite the rejection of the Progressive Education College and the conditions placed on chartering for Womens’ Studies and Clifford Furnas, most of the Committee’s recommendations were generally favorable and stocked with praise of each College’s programs and goals. Less controversial Colleges like B and H, which sailed through the Committee hearings with little difficulty, won firm support in their endorsements from the Committee. Cora P. Maloney College (The College of the Poor), which underwent drastic changes from a loosely defined program accenting experimentalism and innovation to a community-baaed College directed toward non-tradHional and deprived students, also woh .warm approval from the Committee for being under the direction"of competent community and faculty members. —continued on pag* 9— * Academic freedom? The Committee also took issue with the College’s committment to academic freedom. Acknowledging that the College pursues a women from the single-minded goal of “freeing oppression of a male dominated society,’’ the Committee asked whether the College’s categorization of this oppression as a “non-debatable fact raises the question of whether or not the College is as committed to the concept of academic freedom as they are to womens’ freedom.” The Committee has also asked the College to redraft its charter to clearly indicate when it uses the term “woman” or “women” genetically or in an exclusive sense in the charter document. At the open hearing last month, one Committee member had questioned why the charter stated that all women instead of all members, would be eligible for roles in governance. A College member replied that “women” was used in the generic sense to mean “person,” in much the same way that “men” is often used without connoting males exclusively. ... ... , Interpretation Must include men Womens’ Studies, in its Monday statement, The Chartering Committee, after holding open claimed that “the collective rather than hierarchical hearings for almost two months, recommended last governance structure of the college,’’ as well as week that Womens’ Studies be chartered for a period doubts that it was not fully committed to academic of five years, pending its adoption of an explicit, freedom, were the main drawbacks “specifically nonexclusionary policy in its courses and activities, outlined by the except as provided by an appropriately constituted Disputing these claims, Colleges Dear Irving University Review Body. Spitzberg said he thought Womens’ Studies had Observing that enrollment in the College is misinterpreted the conclusions of the Chartering “overwhelmingly female,” the Committee’s majority Committee. The Committee has not placed as much report cites evidence which shows that males are emphasis as the College claims on the issue of denied access to certain courses offered by the collective governance or academic freedom, Dr. fact is viewed by the Committee Spitzberg maintained. College. “This as a clear case of sex discrimination,” the report The Committee report does make reference to the issue of academic freedom, and although the report did not refer specifically to the idea of collective governance, it included as a problem with the Womens’ Studies charter a provision calling for two administrative officers. The Reichert Prospectus mandates that there be one “administrative officer.” The report concludes that an agreement for one of the two coordinators to act as administrative officer in interactions with the Dean of the Colleges “may possibly meet the intent of the Prospectus.” One College member insisted that the issues of collective governance and academic freedom had as much of a role to play in the Committee’s decision to grant conditional chartering as did the reverse discrimination issue. Discussing the College’s governance, she said that the University review committee that will make the final decision on whether to allow men into certain courses would probably have less background with which to make such decisions that the presently constituted collective government of the College. ... However, the Committee stressed that it was to accept the idea that some courses, or sections of courses, should be offered only to women if the College can give justification for such Clifford Fumas The Chartering Committee’s report on Clifford Fumas College explains that while the College had met all the requirements of the Reichert Prospectus, it did not agree to participate in the Colleges Council, the internal governance body of the Collegiate system. The College officially withdrew from the Collegiate Assembly in July, 1973 because if felt “oppressed by a body dominated by radical, non-residential colleges.” The College had had numerous disagreements with the Assembly concerning policymaking and funding before receiving permission from former Academic Affairs vice-president Bernard Gelbaum to withdraw from the Assembly. The Committee’s report states that it is “imperative for Clifford Fumas College to join the Colleges Council and to participate fully in the College system, including the method of resource —continued on pitM 10— �IRC vote censures Weber A motion to experss a vote of confidence in Leigh Weber, Inter-Residence Council (IRC) President was defeated by the Council’s representatives last Wednesday. The tally was eight to six, with one abstention. Because of the resolution’s wording, the vote indicated only that the Council did not wish to express its support; it did not require impeachment or demand resignation. IRC Member-at-Large Steven Schwartz, the resolution’s sponsor, said in a six-page statement that he hoped the vote would result in a “change of attitude” on Mr. Weber’s part. He explained that it was not a “personal” WASHINGTON SURPLUS CENTER "TENT CITY" 853-1515 730 Main, at Tuppar [An»f - ■ HHr. ff , Maa aa^aaaa^8|MMMMMMWW»TT1t~W^irWI WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE SPEAK HERE NEXT SEfllESTER? objection to Mr. Weber that prompted his action, but rather his disappointment with the “lack of change for the better” in IRC, particularly within the Executive Committee since its unanimous vote of confidence in Mr. Weber last September. Mr. Schwartz said he had voted in favor of the original motion “with the attitude of ‘let’s wait and see,’ hoping things would get better,” but he has since changed his mind. “I voted the wrong way. IRC has gotten worse. The attitude is lower now than ever before,” he claimed. Mr. Schwartz condemned the IRC Executive Committee for its lack of unity and effectiveness and its attitude of “non-importance toward everyone who was not an IRC officer.” He described an Executive Committee meeting at which he felt he and-fellow member-at-large David Brownstein were the only ones taking the proceedings seriously. Objecting to the lack of responsibility shown by the committee, he placed the blame on Mr. Weber. 1. 2. 3. Frustration Send responses to Stan Morrowc/o j Student Association Room 205 Norton Mr. Weber believes the vote expressed the “frustration” of IRC’s members ai)d that a change of attitude is necessary. But he explains that his personal change took place before the vote, and that the actions he has begun to take will restore confidence in IRC, whose membership this year is slightly above 35 percent. “What we are faced with is an organization whose reputation hasslid downhill for the past two years,” he said, adding that he has made an effort to renovate the IRC’s bookkeeping system and clear up the bills and problems left behind by last year’s administration. He admitted, though, that this GRANADA) process has taken longer than he expected. Mr. Weber hopes that IRC’s effectiveness will increase as a result of a tampus-wide security committee referendum next week on IRC’s new Leigh Weber constitution, and the recent work of a committee that is studying Food Service. A publicity program to advertise these changes will also be instituted, Mr. Weber said. He feels that a change in priorities of the executive committee is needed, in addition to the change in attitude that Mr. Schwartz advocates. Mr. Weber cited the fact that the committee spent only fifteen minutes recently discussing problems with food coupons, and two hours discussing a dispute between Area Councils. Election to an officer’s position in any organization, he believes, whether it be IRC or SA, results in a “temporary ego trip” that stimulates tension about even the most trivial things. But Mr. Weber feels that everyone including himself, is now coming down to earth.” and ready to work together toward constructive goals. He said the frustration that led to the defeat of a vote of confidence in him stemmed from IRC’s failure to spend enough time on student needs.

A series of statements by officials high in the Ford administration and the opening of hearings on the marijuana question by a Senate subcommittee have moved the federal government away from the harsh anti-marijuana stance of the Nixon administration. The most striking event was a speech recently made by Robert L. DuPont, the Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse and head of the White House Office on Drug Abuse Prevention. Speaking before a national conference held by NORML, Dr. DuPont stressed that criminal penalties for marijuana use “are costly and should be avoided.” He said that special federal attention has been given to the Oregon marijuana laws, which call for apprehended users to pay a $100 fine a fine which is handled much like a traffic ticket Dr. DuPont also emphasized the medical uncertainties of pot use and said that while heavy criminal penalties should not be (CPS) — — imposed, the use of marijuana should always be discouraged. He was followed on the NORML rostrum by J. Pat Horton, Lane County Oregon’s District Attorney, who spoke specifically on the beneficial effects of the Oregon law. Mr. Horton said that since the new law took effect, police have been able to concentrate their time and energies on more violent crime, and that the Oregon prison population is now properly made up of felons rather than marijuana smokers. Thomas Bryant, a member of the privately-funded Drug Abuse Council, pointed out that according to a recent survey, 40 percent of Oregon’s pot smokers say they’ve begun smoking less since the law went into effect. Mr. Bryant, however, could offer no explanation for this. Dr. DuPont reemphasized his position at hearings held November 19 and 20 by a subcommittee of the Senate Labor and Public Welfare Committee, chaired by Sen. Harold Hughes (D-la), which has been holding hearings on marijuana. Senator Hughes and Jacob Javits (R-NY) introduced a bill early last year calling for the removal of all criminal penalties for the private use and possession of marijuana. “AMERICA* ° Dr. DuPont told the subcommittee that he opposes jail terms for marijuana users, but that the legal and medical aspects of marijuana are two different things.

December 1974 Gustav 355 Norton M-F, 9-5 �ly vanishing ‘The old boys’ club’ of po by Jenny Cheng Staff Writer Spectrum The 1974 election year has witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of women fighting their way into the traditionally male-dominated political arena. Nationally, a total of 1121 women ran for seats in state legislatures, and many more were candidates on local county levels. Genevieve Starosciak, Karen Burnstein, Rosemary Gunning, Carol Bellamy and Mary Ann Krupsak were among this year’s victorious female contenders in the New York State elections. Two others, Barbara Wicks and Midge Costanza, fought hard battles but were defeated. All the women candidates agreed, though, that both the public and the legislature must now realize that women are just as capable as men in politics. Old boy’s?’ The election of Mary Ann Krupsak as lieutenant governor was especially encouraging to women politicians in New York State. “Mary Ann’s election means there will be a new impact in legislative reform,” said State Senator Karen Bumstein of Nassau County. “Her presence presidential campaigns in Monroe County, was the vice-mayor of Rochester, and on several Democratic state and national committees. “Women candidates are often placed on a ticket as ‘sacrificial lambs’,” explained Sen. Bumstein, “simply becuase nobody else wants to run.” served Style “Candidates with status are taken seriously,” Ms. Wicks pointed out, “although a woman candidate has it rougher than her male counterpart, even if both start at the bottom. It is easier for a man to attend the cocktail parties and get friendly with the male party leaders,” she claimed. Sen. Bumstein, though, disagreed with this viewpoint. Although admitting she “didn’t have much trouble getting her success against an Community activity All five women encouraged women to join political activities at all levels, including business, law and government. “Insist upon policy-setting and campaign-managing if you feel you are qualified,” advised Sen. Burnstein. “Don’t let anyone shove you into making coffee or stuffing envelopes.” The road to political success for leaders like Bella Abzug, Carol Bellamy, Sen. Burnstein and Ms. Krupsak began with a career in law. But, Ms. Costanza insisted “fancy degrees” aren’t necessary.*“1 didn’t even go to college, and look at me now. All Personality Rosemary Gunning, Republican State Assemblywoman from Queens County, said “it was easier for me to make a break into politics because 1 had friends among the Republican Party leaders, but 1 made these friends by being active in community affairs. It’s personality that keeps you in of the party,” she emphasized. “politics is still a man’s game,” Ms. argued. “The unfair part is that women are not experienced, are unfamiliar with the tactics, and so are at a disadvantage from the beginning,” she said. Ms. Costanza agreed that “men do have the you need is to be informed and to be active. Let your voice be heard. “Some of the biggest bubbleheads with foot-long degrees are sitting in Congress right now,” Assemblywoman Bellamy and Gunning explained that “recognition of your community helps more than political connections sometimes. Be involved and at the foreground of community affairs.” The outlook for women in politics in the ’70’s seems bright. Most women politicians who have achieved their goals agreed that “a woman can gain the recognition and respect of her community and her political party with the right personality and lots of ambition.” Bella Abzug, Congresswoman from Manhattan, has been cited as a perfect example. “Women can be effective legislators,” Ms. Abzug insisted. “Just let them know you won’t be pushed around.” Ms. Abzug’s determination has brought her House Committee appointments that were once considered out of reach for a freshman Congressman. “She didn’t like the seniority system, and she fought against it,” one of her staff members said. “She gave them hell.” upper hand in the game. In some counties, women have it easier only because they have a progressive male county chairman. The entire matter is largely luck, more than qualification and drive.” Subtle obstacles All the candidates interviewed agreed that the success or failure of a woman’s overall political career depends on her Stung by her heavy loss to Rep. Kemp, Ms. Wicks still believes she was better qualified for the seat. “I had the labor personality, and that if a woman is strong on the issues and is able to assert herself vote, Midge Costanza, the unsuccessful Democratic Congressional candidate from the Rochester area, agreed that there are definite obstacles against women entering the political system. “Finance is one key to her experienced male opponent to 12 years of in city politics, and to her many supporters in the city’s ‘political machine.’ “I believe I was elected on the issues.

Burnstein insisted. “We all vote on the same issues, and if it came right down to it, we are all probably just as rotten and corruptible.” “A woman elected to office intends to accomplish what she believes is necessary,” noted Ms. Starosciak, who intends to modernize the County Clerk’s office as well as fight for a speedup of the county’s economic growth. A spokesman for Ms. Krupsak assured New Yorkers that the new lieutenant governor will dedicate equal time to each of the important concerns of the state. “Of course, inflation is our major concern, but Ms. Krupsak’s presence will also assure women that issues such as abortion and child care will not be neglected,” she said. would have been elected five years earlier.” Ms. Constanza helped coordinate several in state government will affect legislation,” she said. Sen. Bumstein believes “the issues that affect women directly, such as rape, abortion, child care will be given equal time with the other issues,” and predicts “the legislature will begin to move away from that ‘old boy’s club’ attitude.” “The ‘old boy’s club attitude’ hurts more than just legislation,” said Democrat Barbara Wicks, who lost to Jack Kemp in an Erie County Congressional race. She feels the attitude that “they are defeated before they start” is keeping many women out of political races. “Women politicians are equal to men,” she said, “but the present political ‘chess game’ does not leave room for them to demonstrate their 1 had previously been an elected official, I had background in government. I ran on the issues, and I lost.” She added that her opponent had no government experience prior to his first term in thinking, intelligent person, they start taking you seriously,” she said. All the women saw a need to equalize female and male representation in the legislature. “A woman politician is the political success. Women candidates are traditionally expected to lose, so they have a hard time raising money,” Ms. Constanza said. She felt prejudice is another key. “I ran for city council last year and won. If I had been a man with my experience in civic, social, and charitable activities, I Bella Abzug against opposition, she can succeed. “A lot of women are too self-conscious ‘rights’ and ‘equality’,” Gunning claimed.

Page five �Editorial Defending Womens' Studies The College Chartering Committee's decision to grant unconditional charters to njne of twelve existing Colleges is in some ways a welcome reaffirmation of the importance of alternative education at the University, but its recommendation to charter the Women's Studies College only if it meets certain "conditions" is, in our opinion, a serious mistake. Committee members certainly deserve praise for conducting the of the hearings in a manner which enabled each College to carefully articulate its programs and goals, and for evalutaing most of the Colleges as objectively as any external group could hope to in the face of a controversial Prospectus. Although not specifically mentioned in its recommendations, the Committee has suggested that a University-wide review board be established to deliberate on the question of exclusivity. But by making the chartering of Women's Studies contingent on resolving, on the one hand, the question of who can best determine which of the College's courses should or should not exclude males the College or an external review body the Chartering Committee has demonstrated an inability to undertand the flaws of external review. bulk — — In a report that is now on the desk of President Ketter, the Committee states that it is "willing to accept the idea that some courses, or sections of courses, should be offered only to women if the College can give justification for such action." How can the Chartering Committee or any outside group for that matter be expected to fully grasp the College's reasons for eliminating from some classes the prejudices and stereotypes that men would inevitably bring to them. As the College has pointed out in a letter to the Committee, the "presence [of men in those courses] leads at best, to a lot of argument about women's experience, and at worst, to the silence of women, as we succumb to traditional power relations and stereotypes." At one point in the Women's Studies Open Hearing, a member of the College was asked if the College would teach a course that did not hold as its basic premise that women were an oppressed group. Her response was: "Would a geography instructor teach a course that held as its underlying premise that the world is flat?" It is no small wonder why Women's Studies is skeptical of any outside unit’s ability to understand the need for some measure of exclusivity. — — The College's other stumbling block to receiving a charter clarifying the use of the word women in its charter is actually a rather silly question of semantics. Although College representatives insisted at their open hearing that their use of the word was strictly generic, in much the same way that men is used in the universal sense, and that males will not be deliberately excluded from the college's governance, the Committee has insisted on a clarification. - - In considering the total effect of the chartering process, the fact that three-fourths of the Colleges have definitely been chartered should not obscure the qualitative ramifications of the chartering process. It remains to be seen just how much the Reichert Prospectus' quest for academic legitimacy has actually changed each College. Only time will judge the accuracy of the fears voiced last spring by many Collegians that the Reichert Prospectus would destroy innovation at the University.

ABC kept showing a cutesy little “Happy Leftovers” all day Friday, or at least whenever they showed a football score. As somebody at my house observed, it is an interesting place to be when you assume that everyone has leftovers. But then what’s a mild recession now and again to a diehard fottball fan? So the automobile industry is falling on its rear badly, so the coal miners are uncertain enough about the new contract offer to maybe say no, and put the steel industry into a mess. So what? I wonder if ABC would get a little anxious if they decided to reduce the number of hours of TV broadcasting due to a severe power shortage due to a lack of coal? Seems as if that might illuminate the power of the system on everyone who is interdependent within it very clearly. Having tripped over it several times in recent months, not to mention it falling on his tow repeatedly, and finally biting hin) on the ankle, President Ford has allowed as how we might be having a recession. There is candor in government for you. Clear, farsighted observation. Now, just what do you suppose we are really economically, if he is willing to talk about a recession. Maybe things are even worse than I thought. What does he know that I don't? I don't think of myself as a radical. Things that go “boom” make me nervous, and I have trouble with sweating palms. Orso it used to be in the glorious days of basic training. But when you notice at the end of an articles about bicycles, and how sales of them are, that the only kind of bike for which demand is not off substantially are the very expensive luxury models I do wonder some. Most of us come from middle class backgrounds, at the worst. Dealing in services and administration rather than industry. If something bad happens to the people who make the goodies the cars, the houses, the concrete economic realities the rest of us have to get in trouble at some point. How do you feel. about milk?

There are clear temptations to feel that certain clods that would be missed less from this continent than others. Those that so tempt me are frequently people who have decided to try and be powerful. There is power and power however. If you earn it by doing something or being something clearly enough to give people a free choice, or at least as free choice as your going to get, so be it. When your power descends from being politically reliable and stable, as in Ford’s case, or from a seniority system which favors those who can stay in office the longest, or in Mill’s case, nobody got to say anything about it very directly. Which may be typical of the way a lot of decisions get made. Anyway the moral of this mess has to do responsibility I guess. There is a lot of with stuff happening around us. I have no particular solution to the automobile industries problems. Don’t want TL to have. Might in fact be a wonderful time to inquire as to the quality of a national goal 'Mi’llHI which involves producing what, seven million, 10 <9 some . g* million? cars a year. Do we really need that kind of ostentatious consumption, or is our economy by Stceae needing something like a real overhaul?

Or a mechanical cow to replace the ones that many not be around much . .. _ * Vl£ Q1 UHlQ .. longer. The responsibility is to yourself, I guess. It has to do with what kind of world you want to live in, and share with the people around you. More directly it has to do with the reality that these changes and shifts are going on around you, and that you have to work a little to notice it sometimes.

Family Planning Clinic (formerly Birth Control Clinic) appreciates the recent article (11-22-74) in The Spectrum informing the University community of our services. However, one very important point not brought out in the article was the fact that we have been repeatedly plagued by financial worries since our opening in 1972. A major contributing factor to this problem arises from some of our most vocal supporters: the patients themselves. Many women who make appointments at the clinic consistently fail to keep them without cancelling. With people waiting to use the clinic we, therefore, serve less than the minimum number of patients necessary and have less funds coming into the clinic than go out for expenses. We are proud of the clinic, one of the few like it in the country. However, if it is to remain open it must break even financially. We hope that all students who act responsibly about family planning will in the future act as responsibly toward the clinic , itself. Thank you.. » LuJean Jennings Director ; U.B. Family Planning Clinic �TRB from Washington November 26, 1974 The marble blocks lie in the moonlight like white bones and I try to imagine what they were like when they were columns in the Roman Forum. From that marble bench Cicero may have risen to denounce Cataline. Senators moved to seats on the right to vote yes, and to the left, no. They literally “took sides.” the orator spoke from the rostrum, so named for the rams, or rostra, taken as trophies from enemy warships and fastened on the platform. The great stones lie there, testifying that empires decline and fall. Now the world shrinks again, back to the one world that Rome conquered and controlled. The World Food conference just held here dramatized this. There are about four billion people on earth, half of them hungry and maybe (though estimates differ) 460,000 malnorished or actually starving. Can the world survive, half famished and half fed? 1 made discoveries at this conference. One was the “population” is a naughty word, like “sex” to certain Victorians. The Chinese delegate, the Russian delegate, and the Pope, all condemned population control. Vet at the present rate the earth’s population will double in 35 years, with the growth of food already out-paced. “The conference is absolutely schizophrenic,” said observer Grant Cotram of the University of Wisconsin. “Delegates have pushed population into the comer yet it is the absolute determinant of the food crisis.” Another thing I learned is the way a lot of small countries dislike us. We so want to be loved. Why don’t they love us? Well, in Ceaser’s time did the Gauls love Pome? The U.S. has six percent of the world’s population but used 40 percent of its resources. Cm such an imperial discrepancy last? Things move faster now. Someday all the legions come home. Look at those stones. nations like Yemen and Upper Volta regard us askance. After all, when half the world was hungry, imperial America paid farmers not to grow food. We slaughtered claves the other day too. This is no new thing. What is new is that the United States is now for the first time itself aware of it. Then there is the matter of trade. We and the other rich members of our club set the terms of world prices: For every ton of rubber, or sisal or tea that it took in the 50’s and 60’s to buy a tractor from us, it now takes two tons. When we complain the Arabs fix the price of oil, the have-not nations * , slap their sides with laughter. They would like to do the same thing. Has Washington any plan if there is another embargo? From here there seems to be no energy plan; indeed, is there any government at all in Washington? How about the payment of petro-dollars? The sum is huge. Can anybody vizualize $60 billion? That is about the total amount the oil cartel will ask from the world in just one year. A friend with the World Bank tells me, “It can’t be paid.” When I ask what he means, he shrugs. The dollar has been sinking in terms of gold, and we are preparing a self-inflicted wound of letting individuals buy gold again January 1st. Some expect a “run,” not against banks but against money itself. The highlights of the Food Conference was the unexpected attack by Secretary Butz on Senators Humphrey, McGovern and Clark of his delegation before a startled press conference on the next-to-last day. The delegation has cabled President Ford for authority to promise more aid, and Butz himself signed the telegram, under pressure. Finally came the negative reply. Humphrey had pleaded eloquently for more famine aid, making his case publicly and privately, but I thought, with in the bounds of propriety and courtesy. Butz’s thin, pinched face, as he repeated, “three Democratic senators” in a kind of refrain before about 200 reporters and spectators, made him look like the self righteous farmer with a pitchfork in the picutre “American Gothic” by Grant Wood. By inference he charged the senators with denigrating their country in foreign parts. Further, they had put compassion before a balanced budget. And so Earl Butz presented the gut issue more dramatically than anyone had thought possible: what sacrifice will America make for starving people? One can sympathize in a way with Secretary Butz. America’s record of food-giving is generous. As Humphrey told me, many critics of the U.S. do not have clean hands, they have not fed their own people. Local left wing claques at press conferences here followed the radical chic line, seeming to imply that last summer’s U.S. drought was a CIA plot. It was all too much for Earl Butz whose one solution is the market economy. Looking back on all this, I think the Food Conference did a good job in centering attention on the immediate emergency. But the longer problem remains how to feed a swelling population on a small planet with finite resources. America cannot continue much longer as World Food Bank, as it has for 25 years the problem is too big. Social revolutionaries are required right back in the poor countries themselves to free the small farmer and the landless, loinclothed laborer. Television won’t stop showing us the emaciated child with birdcage ribs and the mother too listless to brush away the flies. Time to leave the forum now. Time to grab a Fiat taxi, surefooted as a cat, that scampers over cobbled Roman roads whose very manhole covers show the imperial letters “SPQR.” What price grandeur? The white blocks ask that in the moonlight. — - Shameful knowledge To the Editor. Responding years to horrors” in the Nov. 22 Jeff Kittay’s “Shameless issue of The Spectrum, when you don't have enough knowledge about a subject, it is better not to talk with much confidence about it because this reflects nothing but ignorance. First, the problem in the Middle East is not a problem of refugees. So it is not whether the wealthy Arabs are helping the poor Palestinians or not. It is a problem of people who were uprooted from their homeland and never given the right to go back. Second, we have no doubts about “the numerous programs that Israel has to aid the Palestinians." The daily bombing of their camps in Lebanon is an example. The destruction of 19,000 Arab houses in the West Bank during the last seven is another example. deportations, The assassinations, stealing the culture and worst of all, the land, are pretty good examples of these programs. Third, I really don’t know from where did Mr. Kittay get his information that “not the majority of Palestinians who want their own land it is a vocal minority which must stir up anti-Israel sentiments.” Will you kindly tell me who gave you this ignorant knowledge about what the Palestinians want? Moreover, believe me, Israel does not need anyone to stir up sentiments against her. She does this job by ... herself for herself. Finally, every story has two sides. Try to be an open-minded person who will look at both sides, get the true knowledge and then make his judgment. Tony E.

The carnival was a great success. Thanks again. Charlotte Flury Residential Coordinator, College H Childish way of thinking To the Editor. We would like to add our comments to the letters of Mssrs. Jack McTague, Harold L. Segal, and Jeff Kittay regarding the Middle East. Mr. Segal stated: “Palestine consisted, under the British mandate, of the land east of the Jordan River, now known as Jordan, as well as that west of Jordan. For centuries both Jews and Arabs lived in this land, although there was never an independent Arab state in it. In the 20’s, the British created an independent state east of the Jordan and turned it over the the Hashemite dynasty. In the 40’s, the UN divided the remainder between the Jews and the Arabs. What was to be a second Arab state was taken over by its Arabs neighbors, who tried but failed to conquer the Jewish state as well.” It is true that Arabs and Jews coexisted peacefully in Palestine prior to WWI; the population of 1914 Palestine was 90 percent Arab. Not until after the war of 1914 did Britain get Palestine as a mandate (as well as Jordan. The reason Palestine was never an independent Arab state is the 1916 Sykes-Picot international tentatively agreement, which control over Palestine proclaimed although recognizing an independent Arab confederation. However, in 1914 the British High Commissioner, Sir Henry McMahon, had promised independence to the Arabs if they would fight against Turkey in WWI! Thus, the only reason 1920’s Palestine was not an independent Arab state was their betrayal by the British.) As for Mr. McTague’s letter, it must be admitted that it was factually correct, and we agree with it. (When reading his comments on Zionist terrorist — groups, we were reminded of still another incident. It occurred after the 1948 war. Count Folke Bemadotte, the UN mediator who had secured the 1948 truce, was murdered by the Stem gang. Bemadotte was at the time attempting to negotiate the disposition of the Negev Desert. It has been speculated that, had he not been killed, he might have been able to produce a settlement that would have forestalled further fighting for some time.) We do have some quarrel, however, with some of the analogies proposed by Mr. Kittay. Yes, the “techniques used in 1774” were “really that much different from the Israelis’ in 1947!” Unless American history has been clouded, disguised, and perverted to a hyperbolic extent, American revolutionaries did not use tactics comaprable to Irgun-Stem activities. To our knowledge, no records exist of 18th century inns full of innocent people being destroyed, as have been 20th century hotels. Guerrilla tactics, which sometimes involved the indiscriminate and unapologetic slaughter of people not directly involved in the conflict, arc not analogous to the type of tactics employed in the American Revolution; the latter involved “hit and run” strikes solely against military targets. Finally, the summary execution (sans trial) of Tories was relatively infrequent; such was not the case with Irgun and Stem “executions,” such as that of Bemadotte. But even transcending particular evetns, we feel that even more so than the formation of unreal analogies and the distortion or omission of facts, a still greater abuse of history is being performed by both “sides” in the Mideast conflict. This is the “comparison of atrocities." Statements like, How can you condemn the action of the- (fill in the name of your side) freedom-fighters, when you are faced with the unspeakable atrocities of the- (fill in the name of the other side) terrorists?” It is this sort of childish “my-people’s-sufferings-arc-greater-thanyour-people’s-sufferings” way of thinking that serves nothing more than furthering polarization. It is precisely this infantile oversimplification of history into black-and-white terms that brought about polarization in the first place. Helen A. Funicello AnnM.

He went on to admit that he had personally used marijuana from 1960 to 1965. Explaining that he did it to find out what people were talking about when they referred to marijuana use, Dr. DuPont said that it was not a pleasant experience for him and he had “no intention of using it again.” Jerome Jaffe, DuPont’s predecessor in the White House post, followed him to the stand and gave an even stronger endorsement of removing criminal penalties for pot. He said it is “barbaric” to send people to jail for mere marijuana use, and recommended that Congress either reduce penalties to a fine or eliminate them completely. He qualified this by saying he realized that without the deterrent of illegality, recreational marijuana use could increase. Hear 0 Israel For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 — Dr. Jaffe also revealed that he has held these views for a number of years, including those years he spent in the White House drug post, but that he felt compelled to keep his opinion private in the Nixon White House. As a result, he left that post last year with a “sense of frustration.” Meanwhile, the Justice Department, which enforces the federal marijuana laws, was emitting some confused signals on the marijuana issue. A week before the opening of the NORML conference, Attorney General William Saxbe said that he would not personally oppose any congressional or state efforts to change marijuana possession laws. A few days later, Earl Silbert, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, announced that as of December 2nd, his prosecutors would no longer seek Bicentennial In Stock Now! — convictions for possession for less than six joints. Coincidentally, Silbert’s announcement followed the arrest of one of his top prosecutors for possession of an ounce of marijuana, found by police investigating a burglary at his home. Mr. Silbert cited fiscal reasons for his no-prosecute policy. He called it “a conscious decision on our part to allocate our limited resources to crimes of violence.” “There’s no question the prosecution of these [marijuana] cases absorbs a disproportionate amount, of our limited resources,” he added. But Washington metropolitan police protested leniency for dope smokers, pointing to a law on the books that provides for criminal charges to be filed against an officer who doesn’t arrest a lawbreaker. Taking his cue from the police, Mr. Saxbe told Mr. Silbert that if he persisted with the policy, his reappointment might HEWLETT-PACKARD Pocket Calculators HP-70 HP-80 Business Machines Plus tha full line of HP Calculators Buffalo Textbook 3610 Main St. number “took time to discuss issues with us, donated money, and took extra copies of our literature to give to friends,” Mr. O’Neill added. “I wish we could live up to these principles," he said. A veteran and a factory worker, Mr, O’Neill explained that the local PBC chapter was set up during the summer and has since carried out a number of activities for the Bicentennial.

Mr. Silbert rescinded the order. Following the original Silbert announcement, presidential press secretary Ron Nessen announced that Ford “doesn’t favor any change in the federal laws on marijuana.” In the past, however, Ford has revealed that he is not the hard-liner on marijuana that President Nixon was. When interviewed as Vice-President by Dick Cavett earlier this year, Ford said that if he discovered his children smoking pot, he would not turn them in, but instead would treat the incident as a “family matter Mr. Nixon, by contrast, appointed a commission to study marijuana. In 1972 it recommended that all criminal penalties for private pot smoking be dropped. Yet Mr. Nixon was opposed to any change in government marijuana policy and eventually publically denounced his own commission for its findings. ” —continued from page 3— ... day-care service law by 1976.

And on Dec. 16, 1973, a group of latter-day patriots staged the “Boston Oil Party,” boarding a sailing ship in the harbor and throwing oil barrels overboard to protest the high profits of the oil and fuel monopolies. The PBC chapter in a small town in Maine wrote a play based on the history of their town during the Revolutionary War, focusing on a patriot family and a Tory family. The townspeople thus saw that many of their own relatives fought in the Revolution, while the Tories finally fled to Nova Scotia. Activities like these are taking place all over the country, local organizers point out, and they urge people here to get involved. “We don’t expect full-time organizers,” said members John Moorman, “but if someone wants to put in two hours every other week, that’s two hours we wouldn’t get otherwise.

He responded by winning his class, pinning his opponent in the final round in just one minute 23 seconds. Actually, Charlie would have had more trouble at 190, where Olympic silver medalist John Peterson took first. Sports Editor Buffalo wrestling star Charlie Wright competed in the 190-lb. weight class last season, went undefeated in dual meets, and pulled down several post season honors. Last March, Wright fell one win short of placing in the national tournament. 190-1 Been heavy before Wright has wrestled heavyweight before, taking second at the years ago, and Bulls with wins triumph proves spot. Michael East Stroudsburg tournament two pulling out several matches for the at heavyweight last year. This latest once again that he can win at either is happy to let Wright wrestle in whichever class he wants for the remainder of the season, confident that the senior strong man can come up with a win in either class against nearly all the Bulls’ opponents. “Charlie is as big as a lot of these heavyweights,” Michael asserted. Wright competes at 215 pounds, which is a little less than average for collegiate heavyweights. “I think. he’s got a good future anywhere,” the coach added. Wright, for his part, is not so sure he has as much potential at heavyweight as he would at the familiar 190 spot. “There’s no way I’ll stay at heavyweight all season. I can’t beat the big guys that are really good,” he said. Charlie fugures he can beat the pretty good heavyweights up to a limit of 300 pounds, though. Wright will be outweighed by a good 20-30 pounds by almost every heavyweight he faces, but he is confident he can handle it to a point. “1 was kinda lucky at Stroudsburg,” he claimed. “The reayly big guys were beated by smaller ones that I could handle.” Yet even smaller ones still outweighed Wright by quite a bit. Buffalo heavyweight wrestler Charlie Wright rolled past three opponents, pinning the third, on his way to winning the East Stroudsburg Open two weeks ago. Normally, Wright would wrestle one weight class lower, but he has moved up because the Bulls have no heavyweights. His championship performance earned him The Spectrum's Athlete of the Week hono'S, narrowly edging out basketball player Gary Domzalski. place winners graduated, giving Charlie a good shot at placing this time around. However, as chance would have it, the Bulls this season find themselves without a heavyweight, the next weight class up from Wright’s home at 190, “No problem,” Coach Ed Michael must have said to himself. “We’ll let Charlie do it.” And he does it very, very well.

Featuring free tea or coffee and five-cent pastries, the breakfast really packed them in, Mr. Lang commented, adding that the overwhelming response by commuters after the first breakfast was the motivating force behind Wednesday’s effort. Mr. Lang, a commuter himself, was particularly happy with the effect of such breakfasts on commuter relations. “Commuters came in groups of one and two and ended up sitting in groups of seven and eight,” he said. Lounge crowded Cis Soboleski, chairwoman of the local ride board committee, added that the breakfast provided “a service for students who would normally be sitting in Haas Lounge with a copy of The Spectrum. Commuting students agree that these gatherings are worthwhile. “I think the whole idea of having commuter things is good,” said Jo Schweitzer. Not Haas only do commuters have great trouble meeting other students, but they represent a good percentage of the student population, Ms. Schweitzer said. “They are therefore, like dormitory residents, entitled to a certain amount of social activity,” she argued. Discussing issues concerning commuter students, Mr. Lang said he hopes “to look into the whole issue of commuters with the administration.” Other problems Efforts are being made to open more local streets for commuter parking, for example, Mr. Lang noted, adding that plans for trips to Toronto and Allegheny State Park are underway, along with plans for commuter bus service to local ice skating rinks. A commuter mixer has also been scheduled for next semester, he said, featuring a $1 hot meal that will allow the commuters to remain on campus for dinner. One major project still under consideration is the creation of off-campus study centers to service students who live far from the University, Mr. Lang said, expressing the hope that greater interest among cummuters in their own and University affairs can be generated soon.

Even if the Faculty-Senate guidelines did not exist,” the report added, “cooperation among the Colleges seems eminently desirable on both practical and intellectual grounds.” In recommending that Dr. Ketter deny the College of Progressive Education its charter, the Chartering Committee said that while the College’s program is “undoubtedly of real value which has not yet been available elsewhere in the University, several faculty members in the Faculty of Educational Studies have recently shown serious and concrete interest in developing such a program.” The report questions whether the College’s function could not then be taken over by the Faculty of Educational Studies. Additionally, the report cited substantial staff changes as justification for relegating the College of Progressive Education to the role of a workshop. The College would still maintain its residential program, and could apply for chartering when its situation was more definite, the report said. If Dr. Ketter accepts the Committee’s recommendation, the College will cease to exist as of January 1, 1975. Elliott Smith, a faculty member of the Progressive Education College, said the College would probably not be chartered because it had little faculty involvement and a “medium to small” student enrollment of about 110. “The Committee had to get rid of at least one College to legitimize the chartering process,” Mr. Smith surmised.

Also accounted were some of the “Who Killed JFK?,” a controversial unusual happenings around the plaza. program that attacks the findings of the There were numerous reports of men Warren Commission in the assassination of presenting phony Secret Service President John Kennedy, made its return credentials, of unidentified men being led appearance in the Fillmore Room away from the plaza by Dallas police Thursday. officers (of which the police have no Two sell-out audiences attended the record), of people seen running across the presentations by David Williams and Vic grassy knoll and standing against the wall Mann, members of the Assassination behind it, and perhaps strangest of all, the Information Bureau, at 3 and 8 p.m. “umbrella man.” Despite the fact that the sun was shining The Assassination Information Bureau is a group investigating “the mystery that in 68-degree cloudless weather, a man surrounds the assassinations of many of stood against a road sign in the plaza our important American political figures.” holding an open umbrella at his side. In particular, they cast doubts on the Witnesses report that just before the shots assumption that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and of his own accord in the slaying. A great many of their contentions are based on the famous Abraham Zapruder film clip of the assassination, described by Mr. Williams as “the most important home movie ever made.” Mr. Zapruder, with his Bell Howell camera, captured the entire assassination, clearly recording the reactions of President Kennedy and former Texas Governor John Connally as the bullets struck. Spectrum Staff Writer The first words Oswald said to the press after his arrest were “I am a patsy.” For several months before the assassination, Mr. Williams mentioned that men, posing as Oswald, took target practice at a Dallas country club, solicited support in Florida for a pro-Castro organization (the imposter speaking of the need for President Kennedy’s assassination, and the ease with which it could be done), and purchased a car (Oswald could not drive). In addition, Oswald reacted to a picture released to the press by saying, “that’s my face, but that’s not my body.” The picture, which shows Oswald holding a rifle in one hand and Communist literature in the other, seems to be a composite of two pictures. The shadows cast by Oswald’s nose and body go in different directions. And when compared to other photos, Oswald’s chin is much squarer. hitting the President on two of the three shots. In an FBI reinactment, three sharpshooters tried to duplicate this feat. Only one of them was even capable of firing three rounds in six seconds. Oswald had only eight-tenths of a second in which to aim his first shot, according to the Warren Commission report. These men had needed, and fired at as long as they non-moving targets. Mr. Williams then went into detail concerning former New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison’s 1967 Grand Jury investigation of the JFK murder; the likelihood that Oswald was a former U.S. intelligence agent who was framed as the sole assassin; and the mysterious deaths Backward motion Among the details pointed out by Mr. Williams was the fact that Kennedy’s head jerked violently backwards and to the left. This would seem to indicate that at least some of the shots were fired from in front of the motorcade, and not from behind, where Oswald was allegedly stationed in the sixth floor of the Dallas Book Connections It seems clear that Oswald did “have friends in high places,” and worked for some years at building a reputation for pro-Communist leanings as a front for government under-cover work, Mr. Williams observed. This is substantiated by the fact that Oswald went to the Soviet Union, denounced his U.S. citizenship, and told the Russians all he knew regarding U.S. missile installations on the West Coast. Although these actions should have classified him as a danger to national security, said Mr. Williams, they did not forstall his readmission into the U.S., permission for his Russian-born wife Marina to accompany him, and a decision by the State Department to pay their air Depository. fare. & To back this up, Mr. Williams reported that two-thirds of the witnesses present at the assassination believed that at least some of the shots came from the grassy knoll at the center of the plaza the President’s car was passing. In addition, two men situated in the fifth floor window of the Book Depository (one floor below Oswald’s alleged post) were uncertain whether or not any shots came from above them. The-Warren^'Commission claims one of the bullets struck both the President and Mr. Connally, Mr. Williams pointed out. They also contend that Oswald was the lone gunman, firing a total of three bullets. If correct, Mr. Williams said this would mean that the bullet entered JFK’s back 5 inches below his neck at an upward angle, came out the front of his neck, hovered in the air for I'A seconds before making a sharp right turn and striking Connally at a downward angle, injured Connally’s fifth rib, broke his wrist in seven places, and National Security, however, is the justification for holding a number of government files closed until the year 2039. These files detail Oswald’s relationship with U.S. Intelligence agencies, Mr. Williams said. Mr. Williams, presenting his theory behind the assassination, believes that there were at least three gunmen, and five shots fired < ~ lodged in his thigh. And after all this, the bullet found on Connally’s hospital strecher and identified as the one in question, emerged unscathed, with virtually no signs of discoloration or History altered rang out, he opened the umbrella, and after the shooting ended, lowered it and calmly walked away. Mr. Wiljiams suggested that this man was a communications link who signalled gunmen to commence firing. One man who admitted to being such a communications link, James Hines, was photographed walking across the plaza with a large bulge in his back pocket. Soon aftfer Mr. Hines filed his deposition, he was incarcerated at an Air Force Mental institution. Mr. Williams stated that today, Mr. Hines’ health and whereabouts are unknown. damage.

The Warren Commission explained the ambiguity as a “delayed reaction” on the part of the former governor, but Mr. Connally is reported to have said the bullet Williams said the assassination, the course of America’s history, “happened for a reason. Power changed hands that fateful day.” He believes Kennedy’s leanings toward reconciliation with Cuba and the Russians alienated some elements in his own government.

The coroner, who first listed the cause of death as a brain hemorrhage and later changed the diagnosis to natural found dead himself soon afterward. In addition, two suicide notes were found in Mr. Ferry’s apartment with causes, was typed signatures. He concluded on the ominous note that “persons responsible for deceiving the American people for all these years are still in power in the United States,” noting that Gerald Ford was a member of the Warren Commission. It was to him that Jack Ruby, killer of Oswald, personally appealed to be taken to Washington because he feared for his life. He promised to tell Ford his story in Washington. But this appeal went unheeded, and his story remains untold to this day. NYPIRG Homemade nuclear weapons a threat by Steven Gaynor Staff Writer Spectrum The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) of Buffalo presented an exhibition last week which showed how a homemade plutonium bomb could completely destroy the World Trade Center. The exhibition illustrated that when sufficient quantities of uranium and plutonium are illegally obtained, an “elementary Page two . The Spectrum , level” of expertise in the natural sciences would be sufficient to successfully assemble a fission bomb. A reported release by NYPIRG stresses that large quantities of plutonium and uranium are going to be in transport and storage around the United States because of the expansion of the nuclear industry. These supplies “will be vulnerable targets for hijacking, theft and espionage,” the report warns. Monday, 25 . . November 1974 Richard Sokolow, a member of NYPIRG, cited a report by the General Accounting Office (GAO) in Washington which concluded that theft and sabotage safeguards are inadequate in commercially operated nuclear power plants. He also mentioned the findings of a Michigan PIRG study, in which students followed trucks which were transporting plutonium and found that in many instances, truck drivers would stop to eat and leave the truck unguarded. Mr. Sokolow concluded that it was just a matter of time before one of the many existing terrorist groups Steals a sufficient amount of plutonium to make a bomb. “Our exhibition was part of a nationwide effort to warn the American people of the dangers of our increasing dependence on nuclear energy, and to help counter oil company propaganda, which downplays the dangers of —continued on page 10— Happy Thanksgiving!

The meeting stemmed from a petition circulated by Gary Storm, criticizing the quality and quantity of food Governors at attacking and the Faculty-Student Association (FSA) decision-making process as “divorced from the direct voice of the students.” Nearly all of the living students the in Governors Complex signed the petition. Food on the weekend The petition called for the restoration of the weekend food option. Students on the board plan are currently unable to obtain meals on Saturday and Sunday because of an “oversight” according to Donald Bozek, acting head of University Food Service. Food Service has examined the weekend option for the past four years and concluded that very few students would choose the 20 meal a week plan. Mr. Bozek explained that he not realize the “captive group” on the North Campus would have to depend heavily on did the weekend option. The question will be discussed by the Food Service Advisory Committee next week, but Mr. Bozek expressed doubt about the the feasibility of reinstating seven-day board plan. (No policy changes can be enacted without the approval of the committee’s board of directors). For now, students must rely on the snack bars at Dewey and Roosevelt Halls in the Ellicott Complex, which provide only short-order � » The RIG petition claimed that “students have a right to know the quality and condition of their food-.” Mr. Bozek countered that food is examined at New Products Meeting held every two to three weeks. Most products are tested for grease and fat, while different brands of canned foods are examined, graded, and then purchased. Mr. Bozek has eaten with students and staff people and claimed that if a complete which balanced meal is taken includes a main dish, salad, beverage and dessert then the student should rarely leave the - — dining hungry. area “Furthermore,” he said, “there should be .a second table , with items on it all the time. If not, students should bitch about it.” “Students protested that the present seconds table consisted of “junky” food and leftovers. One student asked for a seconds table that duplicated the main meal of the day, explaining that other schools within the SUNY system offer students this service. Mr, Bozek that replied mandatory board contracts at those campuses permit this extra privilege. The Food Service meal plan price has risen from $245 to $280 in one year. This price increase, according to Mr. Bozek, is due to an increase in overall food costs (some 30 percent since last year, including the spiraling cost of sugar, higher employee salaries and benefits from union due in part demands). problem petitioners cited was the the lack of the in menus and variety repetiiton of some meals three to was were provided for those observing religious holidays.

But Mr. Bozek countered that if food would have to be prepared in a separate dining area or in a different way, ,“1 would have to answer no.” Ms. Derme had been informed that 100 students on board were vegetarians.

An open member, voluntary organization, described by co-coordinator Veronica Mishook as “just a group of people working together,” the committee provides assistance and information to rape victims, and attempts to prevent rape through an increased public awareness of the problem. Ms. Mishook cited five specific goals of the committee; To have sexually abused children brought to a children’s hospital, instead of to Meyer Hospital, where they are now treated. To improve the treatment of sexually abused women at Meyer. Currently, Ms. Mishook said, rape victims may have to wait several hours for treatment, and often are not able to talk to a counselor without first dealing with the police.

To establish a speaker’s bureau to make the public more aware of the problem and ways to deal with it. Speakers would address social groups like PTAs, church groups, and girl scout troops. The bureau would consist solely of committee members, and proceeds would be used to finance committee expenses, including the costs of printing and distributing information. A volunteer “crisis intervention” program has - - already been set up in Cheektowaga on a trial basis with the cooperation of town police. The police have agreed to contact the committee any time a rape is reported and the victim wishes to have a volunteer with her during and after police interrogation. Described by coordinator Andrea Morgante as “paraprofessionals, not counsellors,” the volunteers offer “aid and moral support,” and are in a position to refer people to counseling if desired. The volunteers undergo a three-month training period which involves input from members of the police force as well as legal and medical experts. The program, which Ms. Morgante called a “pilot study,” began Nov. 14. If successful, it will be expanded to other parts of the Buffalo area. Capt. Bill Payne, guest speaker at Wednesday’s meeting, pointed out that in terms of self-defense, the most vital thing to do is to “get the person away from your body, and flee.” He demonstrated various ways to break holds, but emphasized that there is no one foolproof way to stop an assailant. “I can’t tell you you’ll get out of"M every time, but you can learn options to try when the situation comes up,” Capt. Payne explained. “Anything may work, but then again it may not,” he said, citing such “oddball” instances as the time a girl leaving a dance thwarted a would-beattacker by telling him to wait while she got her purse from inside. Simply “getting the person to talk,” Mr. Payne added, may also be helpful in some cases. Officers have been chosen and by-laws written for the committee, but Ms. Mishook said these are open to any changes the members deem necessary.

Dr. Frisch, acting chairman of the Program in American Studies and a History Department staff member, spent the past year teaching at Seoul National and other universities in South Korea. He explained that Koreans are “under no illusion” and would not defend their so-called democratic government as such. Maintaining that the South Korean government was “transformed dramatically” while he was there, he said it had “moved towards a pole of terror.” Repression The government’s adoption of the death penalty to punish dissent against the government, and President Chung Hee Park’s recent jailing of including poets, hundreds of dissidents politicians, students and Christian clergy characterizes the present situation, he said, adding that we are witnessing in South Korea, a “case study of the dynamics of a totalitarian system.” The U.S. is watching an “end game” to South Korea’s totalitarian government, Dr. Firsch said, explaining that the government is merely “keeping things from happening” but has no plan of action for “once it’s happened. In the case of a large scale demonstration-breakout,” the government would be finished, he said, describing its power as becoming proportional to “just how many guns” it will employ. Dr. Frisch said “the regime is becoming more and more powerful, but less and less weak,” stressing the South Korean “strong-man” government’s increasing reliance on terrorism and its inability to cope with massive dissent. — - Student power South Korean students are the “spokesmen of society,” Dr. Frisch went on. He said the average Korean “instinctively supports students,” and that students represent the culture, in sharp contrast to the “counter-culture” image of American students in the eyes of the average American. Since Koreans have seen many governments come and go, their “symbol of stability” is the student population, whereas the U.S. looks towards Page four . The Spectrum . the government and the establishment in times ot conflict, Dr. Frisch said. South Korean students have a much firmer claim on the right to speak for society than does their government, and in the case of a massive; student outbreak, the army would refrain from shooting students, Dr. Frisch claimed. The Korean student's perception of the political situation and his sense of obligation is far more impressive than ours, he said. Many illusions are not possible in Korea, he said, since “lines are clear, stakes are high," and “demonstrations mean trouble," unlike in the U.S., where there is room for “fantasy." Dr. Frisch said the Korean students’ “sense of responsibility is very energizing,” realizing that if they do manage a successful large-scale demonstration, “the government goes.” The obstacles preventing a successful mass demonstration, Dr. Frisch said, include the “high stakes,” the difficulty of organization, a lack of political leaders, the need for a “right time,” and the realization that a “bad government” may be a better choice than possible anarchy in these particularly troublesome times of severe inflation and an energy crisis. " Withdraw support The American government should not support South Korea’s dictatorial regime. Dr. Frisch declared. During the gradual but clear growth of despotism in Korea, over the past three years, the U.S. has conducted a “fluid examination of the situation,” but chose to “stand back,” he said. The U.S. has displayed its insensitivity to Korean suppression by sending a delegation of 20 Congressmen there just a week after Mr. Park’s issuance of the death penalty for the punishment of dissent, Dr. Frisch added. He explained that the South Koreans have basically “liked” the U.S. since their liberation from the Japanese, but that there has been a turn towards anti-American feelings' in recent years, although the Japanese, whom the South Koreans view as “Economic animals,” are still their major enemies, he said. U.S. ties with major Japanese corporations having heavy Korean interests, and the U.S.’s unwillingness to protest Mr. Park’s despotism, is fueling anti-American sentiment, Dr. Frisch said. He referred to President Ford’s recent visit to South Korea as “most unfortunate” and “almost too late,” adding that it “cements” us into the “vicious situation” in Korea. Monday, 25 November 1974 focuses on alcohol by Howard Crane Staff Writer Spectrum a Stevens, National of the representative Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, stopped here Wednesday as part of a project to increase awareness of the effects of alcohol on the university level. The project, sponsored by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW), involves the selection of one large state university from each state, along with 10 other colleges, to hear people speak about the problems of alcohol. Ms. Stevens has spoken to almost 70 people during her visit here, including administration officials, faculty, student leaders, head residents, and resident assistants. Kathleen Attitudes Ms. Stevens feels “information on alcohol as a drug has been pushed to the background . .. and students don’t realize its effects.” Alcohol abuse is one of the leading causes of death in the l8-to-20 age group, and is also related to most suicide attempts, she said. The emphasis is not on abstinence from drinking, but on drinking responsibly, Ms. Stevens said, noting that statistically, people who drink moderately live longer than both people who get drunk often or never drink at all. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism has served in a number of functions since its creation in a 1970 bill sponsored by Sen. Harold Hughes (D.. Iowa), a former alcoholic himself. It serves as a resource, provides information and encourages other institutions, including universities, to set up their own programs and provide feedback to HEW in Washington. Ms. Stevens, because of the present exploratory status of the University program, was unable to predict what would become of her work in Buffalo, but she did say that people here have been “more cooperative than at any other university I have been to so far.” Prevention team Ms. Stevens met Friday with three of the six members of the University Drug Abuse Prevention team Alan Ermanovics, assistant director of Norton Union; Madison Boyce, director of housing; and Dr. Luther Musselman, assistant dean of the medical school, to better acquaint them with the effects of alcohol abuse. The Team, established in February, is made up of personnel from various departments of the University Besides those already mentioned, there are representatives from security, student counseling and Student Affairs. — The members of the Team, which have been meeting regularly, hope to function as a basic resource for the entire Buffalo community. In the past, they have met with local school personnel and parents, and have been approached by others. Team members see the importance of alcohol problems being overshadowed by publicity about other drugs, which have received almost exclusive attention for quite some time. Now that alcohol consumptioi. among students is on the rise, the Drug Abuse however, Prevention Team feels a responsibility to emphasize the effects of its use.

Mr. Udall will accept no contributions over $1000.) City Editor Rep. Morris Udall (D,, Ariz.) has become the first Democrat to officially announce his candidacy for the 1976 presidential race. The announcement, made last week in Bedford, N.H., surprised no one. Mr. Udall, 52, will be a candidate in the 1976 Democratic New Hampshire primary, the nation’s earliest. Last week’s announcement is one step in a process that will test the viability of his candidacy, according to Bob Newman, the Congressman’s press secretary, Mr. Udall, who will also enter other selected primaries, hopes to go into the Democratic National Convention bargaining power. with strong Experienced The 6’5” former basketball player believes he can win because he is “as qualified as anyone else,” Mr. Newman explained. He cautions others not to exclude Rep. Udall from the presidential race simply because he is a member of the House and not a Senator or Governor. Mr. Newman characterized the Congressman as “an experienced government leader who expresses the views that the people want in 1976.” does not have “overwhelming” financial backing, and no professional staff has been hired yet. Mr. Udall will try to qualify as soon as possible for the public funding system under the tax check-off procedure. (To qualify, it is necessary for a candidate to receive The Udall campaign donations of at least $5000 per state in at I A ■ Congressional support Mr. Udall is supported by 45 Congressmen who want the Democratic Party to consider nominating a member of the House for President. The group includes Charles Rangel, Jonathan Bingham, James Hanley and Otis Pike. Although columnist George F. Will has called Udall “naive” to believe that Congressmen will actively campaign for him while they are campaigning for their own reelections in 1976, Mr. Newman feels the Congressional backers have been very helpful to the Udall campaign. In recent months, Rep. Udall has visited 25 states, where Congressmen have introduced him to key local Democrats. This help, Mr. Newman believes, is very important because the new' methods for delegate selection make each Congressional district more important than ever in the presidential nominating process. Environmentalist Mr. Newman does not envision a continuation of traditional Presidential supporters feel Americans may be more open to the idea of a House member seeking the Presidency. Mondale withdrawal Mr. Newman believes the withdrawal of Sen. Walter Mondale (D., Minn.) from the list of presidential aspirants may enhance Rep. Udall’s chances, since both represent essentially the same constituencies within the party. If elected, the Arizona Congressman, a superb joke-teller who is highly respected by liberal-moderate Democratic members of the House, would be the first President to come directly from the House. The Udall announcement, less than three weeks after the 1974 elections, is only the first in what is expected to be a politics and feels that no candidate will go 1976 Convention with an overwhelming number of delegates. An ardent environmentalist, Rep. Udall has stressed the need for reassessing policies in economics and energy, and their into currently in the White House, Rep. Udall’s the inter-relationship with foreign policy. The Congressman is concerned about name recognition, although he has been in the House for several years, and his brother as Secretary of the Interior during the Johnson administration. Furthermore, with a former Congressman Stewart served long list of Democrats declaring Presidential intentions. their Those expected to throw their political hats into the proverbial Presidential ring include former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter, Sen. Henry Jackson (D., Wash.), Sen. Lloyd Bentsen (D., Tex.), and former Oklahoma Sen. Fred Harris. The withdrawal of Sen. Mondale was termed “irrevocable” by his press aide. The Senator explained that he had neither the determination nor the overwhelming desire said a campaign would be unfair to the party, the people of Minnesota, the nation, and the other candidates. The aide said Mr. Mondale will not accept a draft at the convention. to seek the Presidency, and Sen. Mondale has made no comment on the possibility of his seeking or accepting the vice presidential nomination. Forum discusses plight of the Palestinian people by John A. Fink Spectrum Staff Writer The past, present and future of Palestine and the role of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) were explored Friday night at the forum in Norton Hall. Sponsored by the Revolutionary Student Brigade, the event was billed as an anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist forum, on the Middle East and entitled, “What Road for the Palestine People?” Eugene Bihari, professor of Political Science at Buffalo State College, opened the program with a discussion of the modern history of Palestine and the confrontations between Palestinians and Zionists. Dr. Bihari placed the origin of the conflict to a meeting in 1897, Basel, Switzerland in where the goals of the modern Zionist movement were set down. Under the “Basel Program,” Zionists were pledged to work for the creation of a home in Palestine for the Jewish people. ■ Balfour Declaration people Dr. Bihari said Great Britain had no right to pledge Palestine to anyone, claiming that the plan was violently denounced worldwide by Jews as well as Palestine Arabs. Moving ahead to the current conflict Dr. Bihari said the crux of the matter is that “Palestine must have the right to national sel f-dete rm ination”. Problems will continue as long as Palestine must strive for that right, he emphasized. At the heart of the conflict is the fact that Israel is the only country in the world which has no defined boundaries after 26 years of existence, Dr. Bihari said. He insisted that any negotiations on Palestine be held with the Palestinians, not the Egyptians or Syrains. “Only Palestinians can speak for themselves,” Dr. Bihari stressed. If a permanent settlement is to be achieved, he continued, Jerusalem must exist as an international city not soley controlled by Christians, Moslems or Jews. It is a fallacy to think that Arabs could live peacefully with Zionists, because Zionism is based on “exclusivism,” Dr. Bihari said. No country whose existence is based on religious beliefs could ever be considered democratic, so Arabs living in Israel cannot be considered equal citizens with Jews, he explained. The seed of the conflict were further sown 20 years later by the Balfour Declaration, Dr. Bihari explained. Written in 1917 by Arthur Balfour, a British official, the Declaration stated that the British Government favored making Palestine a Must fight Akram, natural home for the Jewish a student at the University, next spoke about the PLO. Because Palestinians became “fourth class citizens” when they were driven from their homeland as refugees, it was “logical" that they would organize to tight and represent themselves Akram said the FLO believes Palestine in the only home of the Palestinians, and that Palestinians have every right to tight for the liberation of their country. The activities of the PLO have been misrepresented in the media, he claimed, refuting the widely-held notion that all PLO activities involve terrorism. He said the PLO consists of two groups the popular unions, which includes students, workers and professionals, and the resistance groups, composed of political and military groups. The organization was formed in 1964 and gained momentum in 1967 as a result of defeat in the Six-Day War. The loss gave Palestine a “different trend of thought,” said Akram, because it made them recognize that the national ideoligies they traditionally clung to were not viable solutions. — PLO representative Another misconcpetion about the PLO, Akram explained, is that it does not represent all of the Palestinian poeple. He cited these facts to disprove that contention: -Eighty percent of the PLO comes from the budget Palestinian people themselves through voluntary contributions. -In 1972, a gathering of Palestinian leaders had 600 delegates. 150 of which were PLO members. These leaders announced that the PLO was the sole representative of the Palestinian people and had the support of the masses. -The PLO has been recognized by Arab governments as the representative of the of the people must be changed, he asserted. The PLO has thus been seeking to educate the masses, Akram explained. World struggle In conclusion, Akram gave three reasons why Palestinians must fight: there is no other alternative; Palestine recognizes its struggle as the struggle of the world; and fighting gives hope to the Arabs. Another panelist, from the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), discussed “Zionism and Israel as a State.” He said Israel was a capitalist state and that war was an essential characteristic of Zionism, and criticized the Zionist “Law of Return,” which allows anyone who can prove Jewish decent to become a citizen of Israel. As long as Zionism exists, war in the —Center Middle East will be a constant threat, he said. Palestinians. The final speaker, a Referring to a “radical representative of the p respective,” Akram said a Revolutionary Student Brigade, revolution was needed to liberate voiced the Brigade’s support for Palestine. There must be a the Palestinian struggle. It is a distinction between two different misconception to term their types of violence that of the struggle an effort to “push the “oppressed” and that of the Jews into the sea,” she said. She “oppressor,” he explained, jlfso viewed the energy crisis as adding that the PLO fell into the an attempt by the U.S. to build former category. up resentment of the Arabs, and Akram said the Palestinians called for an end to U.S. aid to have learned the lesson of the Israel.

Yet despite these obvious dangers, construction of nuclear reactors is proceeding at a rapid pace while federal and state governments sit back and scoff at the "remote" perils of nuclear fallout. There is presently no effective way to dispose of nuclear wastes, and existing precautions leave alarming safety loopholes. Aside from the fact that one large accident might readily kill thousands of people, the possibility exists that terrorist groups might steal a sufficient amount of plutonium to make an atomic bomb. The chances of this happening become less remote if one considers the findings of a study conducted by the Michigan Public Interest Group (PIRG), in which students followed trucks that were transporting radioactive substances. In many instances, the group discovered, truck drivers would stop to eat and leave their vehicles unguarded. When representatives from the nuclear energy industry are confronted with these dangers, they dismiss tham as rank sensationalism, only to wage a propaganda campaign of their own to discredit the search for alternative sources of energy. But Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) documents obtained by The New Yqrk Times reveal that over the past 10 years, the Commission has tried to suppress studies by its own scientists when they found that the dangers of nuclear reactors were far greater than previously determined. One of these studies, which was kept hidden from the public for more than seven years, shows that a major reactor accident could have the same effect as a "good-sized weapon," killing up to 45,000 people.

The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. 40 Monday, 25 November 1974 Edrtor-in-Chiof — Meanwhile, at Ellicott, a number of quadrangle skirmishes were taking place. Rumors arose that a battalion from Governor’s was marching on the Ellicott fortress. The divergent forces therein combined to defend the brick edifice. However, the gallant Governorian troops managed to acquire a foothold on the stairs to the second floor plaza, and scattered the defenders above. The Govemorites soon found themselves in a cul-de-sac of sorts, and were forced into a hasty retreat by the bombarding volleys from the rapidly regrouping Ellicottians. After periodic attacks and reformations, the shattered, scattered, and battered battlers of Governor’s were chased and forced to take refuge in the bowels of their building. They tried valiantly to fight their way out several times, but were repeatedly driven back in by their unrelenting opponents. And so, Paige Miller, we want you to know that this brand of Mickey Mouse coverage of major sporting events pleases us not, and will not be tolerated. If ever again you are compelled to continue this jaded journalism, the mercy extended this past weekend will not be seen again.

Upon reading the deep Letter to the Editor on Friday, aptly entitled “More of a Hole,” we, some various nuts on the third floor of Norton Union, have come up with some food for thought. Mr. Prawel said that Rich Co, has obtained profits from the opening of the stadium. We were under the impression that Rich Co. had to pay SI million to name it. But we feel that he is on to a \ terrific idea: Auction off the right to name the University's buildings! Just think of the revenues thus generated. We could finance five football teams (all with metal-flake helmets). And just, imagine the names! How about Dunkin’ Diefendorf, or "I've got my d o'clock class in Diefendorfs Donuts." For a mere $20,000 more, a company, or person, could completely rename a building: engineering classes in Parka Pies. Squibb Hall instead of C'apcn. Of course, this would be done yearly, to increase revenues with each buikling priced according to its size and commercial desirability. For a cool million, one could rename the entire University. How does "General Mills University at Buffalo" sound? Think about this quickly, because we're all rapidly slipping down the silo. of monetary compensation Surely. IRC officers devote Through the candidate’s campaign literature, I learned that the officers of the IRC will receive a half-rental stipend toward their room fees for their year in office, I was involved in student government and have dorm council activities as an undergraduate at Columbia; I have spoken to student leaders at many institutions and, until now, have never heard of a school so eager to give money away that it pays its “volunteers.” Frankly, 1 must question the motivation of candidates running for a $300 prize; we can only hope that those running would do so even without the “salary” and that once elected, they will not retire to their self-priced rooms and not be seen again. Simply, if a candidate is truly dedicated to serving the dorm residents, he will do so regardless or the lack of same. no more time to their duties than members of other campus organizations who serve without "pay." How can the Housing Office justify this are subsidy while students the dorms in hard-pressed to meet the room fees? Residents could, no doubt, make many suggestions for better places to spend their money. 1 believe that the Housing Office should re-evaluate its policy in this matter; no doubt it will take time. In the interim, the candidates should now pledge that if elected, they will return the equivalent sum of their payments to IRC general funds, or perhaps donate them to the Financial Aid Office for distribution to those whose need is demonstrably greater. Donald R. Bloom field (I.aw 77) Look here Grump To the Editor. This is a response to a recent article (“The Grump”) by an individual named “Steese.” My first thought, as I feel about many such exposes, was to toss it away as another “freak-type” article. But this my home. particular one hit a little closer to home The main point of the article was to question what one does with his spare time. 1 must cheerfully admit that I and my girl friend were in that “seemingly endless string of stadium-bound traffic” on Sunday. However, we were not on our way to pick nuts and berries; we were on our way to Rich Stadium. The idea of sitting (not still, however) for several hours to watch the Bills (or Sabres or Braves) is extremely exciting for me (as well as the other 80,020 fans on Sunday). However, sitting stoned for several hours listening to The Dead, or New Riders, etc., is not my idea of “superb esthetic sense.” And the $17 for two tickets was quite worth it. But, as Steese put it, it’s a matter of relevance, and with that I agree completely. However, he disapproves of the “gladiator syndjome” of professional sports, but only live it’s OK to watch it on TV (while darning your socks, of - to ther by Garry Wills Nelson Rockefeller is not the brightest man alive. So it is not surprising that he has a triangle set up on an easel to remind him that well, at least three-sided, with each side the oil crisis is many-sided neatly labeled. What is surprising is that New York Times columnist James Reston took that mnemonic device as a recommendation for Professor Rockefeller to take up his post as a didactic Veep. — I nhur J. I.atomic David Chavis Walter Simpson Abolish stipends To the Editor fro IT here course). But 1 guess if you dig darning your socks, professional sports are not for you (except maybe golf or chess). Another comment that I, as a Buffalonian, take offense to, was the one about Buffalo as a sports town, and its fans. Buffalo now has three professional teams which are recognized throughout the country as among the best, and the people of Buffalo are quite proud, as they should be. And about the beer-drinking steelworker, we have him (as well as the gray flannel suited executive, the well-dressed secretary, the blue-jeaned telephone worker, and the kids of all ages). And all these people would be willing to face the traffic, wait in lines, and sit through the rain for a Buffalo team. And I would be there with them. So Steese, if you don’t like professional sports, turn to another channel, and if you don’t like the traffic, take another route, and if you don’t like Buffalo, its teams or its fans, move out. And if you would rather play squirrel and stock up for the winter, go right ahead. But don’t put down the Bills, Braves, Sabres or the Buffalo fans. - Peter Demakos Rockefeller himself came on as an educator in the way he obliged senatorial curiosity. Every time he felt frank, which was ostentatiously often, he began his statements with “frankly,” a politician’s trait and one that makes me look to the silverware. Why did he commission a book on Arthur Goldberg? Frankly, it was just like his other philanthrophic funds, to spread enlightenment: “Mr. Goldberg was not his life, his career in labor, as a known to the people of New York labor lawyer, as a lawyer in Chicago and so forth. And that his positions on issues was not known and that therefore a bqok would be useful to the people of New York in making up their minds.” It is strange that this book should be useful when Mr. Rockefeller himself tells us that sophisticated people never read such books. They only commission them. - Political enlightenment, you will notice, is defined by Mr. Rockefeller as a recognition that he is preferable to his opponent. And this philanthropic project is, in turn, justified as a business venture. What is profitable is virtuous. Yet the book project is neither virtuous nor (in the business sense) profitable. Rockefeller’s attempt to maintain this fiction is, at best, laughable; at worst, cryable. The Rockefeller name (not, he claims, Rockefeller money) had to be “laundered” so that other investors could be attracted. Who says the investment was sound? The project’s initiator, Mr. Wells. Were other investors approached? Not that we know of. Did Mr. Wells himself invest in this sure thing? Surely not. Asked about that. Rockefeller grinned, a roguish wink and shrugged, “Good question.” Bad answer. If the Rockefellers knew no more about investment than to take a flyer on Lasky and Arlington House, they would have gone broke long ago. Rockefeller is telling charming lies to his questioners, who apologize for being tough before going on to be non-tough. Rockefeller’s strongest defense, and the center of endless bad jokes, is the fact that the book was a dud. It was a third-rate smear, much as (in Mr. Ziegler’s words) Watergate was a third-rate attempt at burglary. Our politicians now tell us that if they were interested in crookedness, they would be better crooks than they seem to be. Maybe. But look at their economic proposals. Do third-rate political schemes prove that our rulers are not politicians? There was no reason to commission the Lasky book except to get a first-rate smear. The fact that all Rockefeller could come'.up with was a third-rate one does not, of itself, make Rockefeller virtuous. It only shows that he mucked up one of his less than virtuous efforts. Frankly, Rocky, that’s not much of a recommendation. Monday, 25 November 1974 \V, iS!CM.'VV;,Vi rA » I . The Spectrum . Page seen �by llene Dube Feature Editor No one wants to be reminded that just a year ago, food items could be purchased for about 15 percent less than today, and two years ago for 30 percent less. Cereal and baking products alone have risen 28.4 percent within the past year, according to the U.S. and there is no end Department of Labor Statistics in sight. The increases are expected to continue at an annual rate of two to five percent at least through the middle of 1974. These predictions are based upon the low yields of the drought-reduced grain harvests, and the concurrent cutbacks by livestock producers this year. The adverse impact of the weather, including last summer's drought and the early frost this autumn, further reduced grain and soybean production. — Meat prices going down Meat prices are expected to decrease for the final quarter of this year because of large reserve beef supplies. A survey of local supermarkets last week showed meat prices to be stable, and in some cases lower than they were last year. "Cattle inventory has been building up over a period of years," said Larry Summers, an employee of the Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture [USDA] . In 1973 there was "a holding back of cattle along the meat chain," he explained, but this year there were more slaughters resulting from increased production. The recent action of dairymen, who slaughtered cattle to protest the high cost of feed, has not had much of an impact on supplies, Dr. Summers said, because "they did not really slaughter a big proportion." To cope with skyrocketing food prices, shoppers have been shifting their food priorities. "People are eating smarter," said one local supermarket manager. Many families are limiting themselves to necessities, he observed, although students, as a group, are not cutting back on "snack items." Educational inflation "Consumers are getting wiser," said Joe Brannon, assistant Vice-president of Sales and Merchandising at Loblaws Supermarkets, who maintains that "the best buy of all dollars spent is in the grocery store, compared to rent, utilities, and clothing," Most managers agree there, has been a "lighter trend" in frozen food sales, where prices have risen unproportionally. And as a result consumers have "gone to staples," Mr, Brennon noted. Jerold Linsner, director of procurement for Be|>£\ Supermarkets, described a new kind of "selective purchasing." "There is a slowing down on convenience foods, while more basic items are being sold," hp daid. "People are buying the flour and other ingredients to bake cookies instead of buying baked products." The USDA has also noted the "make it yourself" trend. "Consumers are much more alert to values now," offered Bud Drake, another Bells manager. "They have to be." Still spending more While less of the consumer's disposable income is now spent on groceries, the average purchase per consumer has risen. "There are only a small percent of people planning more economic meals," said Mr. Linsner. The Clinton—Bailey Market, where the North Buffalo Food Co-op buys much of its produce, is an economic place to which often shop, if you buy in bulk means sp lifting the cost and the bushelfuls among friends. are received at the downtown facility, compared to 160 packets and 220 calls a short time ago. The Dietetic Association (DA) is one group that is looking at price changes favorably. Declining sugar consumption, they believe, could not hurt many Americans. Dieticians are also pleased with the lower In addition, grass-fed beef, considered far healthier than the previously grain-fed beef, is appearing on the market more and more, according to a USDA dietician. A new controversy in the meat industry concerns the establishment of an acceptable system of grading beef. Beef now graded "good" would be graded /'choice" and beef now "choice would be elevated to "prime." Supporters of this plan claim that the savings would be passed on to the consumer, but consumer representatives predict that instead they would be getting lower quality beef. consumption of meat fat. Make your own "From the health standpoint, there is no shortage of food," but people may have to sacrifice luxury food items, said one USDA spokesperson, emphasizing the trend toward "home prepared foods. Students, as an economic group, have often been placed at the poverty level because they usually have no constant source of income and must meet the high costs of obtaining an education. Students who cannot meet food expenses are eligible for the food stamp program if they satisfy the income and asset requirements they do not have to be financially — Study shows food prices to be 15 percent higher than last year But nutritionists have questioned whether the new trends in food shopping have affected consumer health. Those in low income brackets and elderly persons on fixed incomes are the most likely groups to have health problems, according to Dr. Summers. The federal food stamp program is designed to assist food purchases for the lower income groups, "but the borderline cases, or those who don't spend what money they do have wisely," will be most affected healthwise, Dr. Summers said. Last month, appointments for food stamp applicants at the Ellicott Square Building in downtown Buffalo were backlogged six weeks, partly because growing unemployment and inflation are making more persons eligible for food stamps. Five hundred application packets are mailed out daily, and 450 calls Page eight . The Spectrum . > — independent of their families to qualify. Four students living in one household, applying as one economic unit, must earn a collective net income of less than $500 a month, and have total assets that do not exceed $1500. which In computing a student's total income includes parental support and student loans, mandatory deductions, medical expenses, child care, tuition and mandatory fees, total housing expenses per month and — unusual expenses are deducted. Assets include real estate in the applicant's name, savings accounts, stocks and bonds, trusts, and motor vehicles. Food stamps Students who apply for food stamps individually are subject to different requirements. (Application Monday, 25 November 1974 packets including details for qualifications can be obtained from the Erie County Food Stamp Service). The cost of the food stamps is determined on a sliding scale based on the number of people in the housing unit, and their net monthly income. Many students eligible for food stamps do not take advantage of the service because they are unaware of it, according to one food stamp official. Another low cost service open to area residents is the North Buffalo Food Co-op, on Main and Winspear. This "anti-profit" cooperative charges a 30 percent markup on produce and perishables, and a 40 percent markup on other items, solely to maintain the store's overhead costs. For a $5 initial refundable fee and four hours work a month, members are entitled to substantial discounts. Co-op sometimes higher In some cases, the co-op is unable to charge less than supermarket prices, since the organizers must deal with more middlemen in warehouses. The co-op orders from the cooperative warehouse in Rochester (a dispensing group for co-ops in the area), as well as from wholesale distributers that deal with other health food stores. Brand name items,'like Dannon yogurt, are ordered directly from the company. The co-op, offering a wide variety of spices, herbs, and teas, caters to health food clientele. Most of its wares are organically grown, except for the produce, which is purchased daily from the Clinton-Bailey Market. Anyone wishing to buy in bulk can pay the same distributor price as the co-op, thereby eliminating the markup. The Clinton-Bailey Market is open to the public. While many customers cannot satisfy their diets by shopping in the co-op alone, the concept of buying in bulk has been growing in popularity. Groups that have organized to purchase their own cows, for example, have obtained substantial savings. Broadway-Fillmore Market One market that offers savings without buying in bulk is the Broadway-Fillmore market, noted particularly for its wide variety of meat at low prices. Baked goods and produce are also inexpensive there. In a survey conducted by The Spectrum of selected popular items in four local supermarkets, A & P at University Plaza was found to have the highest prices for many items, while Park Edge had the lowest prices for brand name canned fruits and vegetables. One disadvantage was that Park Edge did not offer supermarket brands like Orchard Park, Ann Page and Bells Brand, which offer substantial savings. Park Edge was also low in dairy products, and produce appeared fresher than in other stores. Park Edge also had the competitor's edge on frozen foods. �i » Consumption of meats linked to cancer Although meat prices may be lower than they've been in a long time, and meat is one of the best sources of protein, it may not be too wise to overindulge reducing costly feed grains but will not necessarily pass on any savings to the consumer. Several studies have loosely linked meat consumption to several forms of cancer. One study at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), comparing meat-eating Mormons to Southern State Adventists, 40 percent of whom are vegetarians, showed the Mormons to have a cancer rate twice that of the Adventists. Grade quality The American Cancer Society has discovered correlations between meat-eating and intestinal cancer. The United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Uruguay, Argentina and Denmark also have countries with the highest meat and milk consumption the highest rates of intestinal cancer, the study found. — — In addition, vegetarian tribes like the Hunzas of Pakistan, the Azerbaijans of the Caucasus, and the Villacamba of Ecuador have been found to be virtually cancer-free. : ***** 'r.t fehflp? l*Jtt LOBLAWS inspection,' required by law, is certified by the blue P'S'D, and guarantees the meat came from a healthy animal,that was slaughtered and processed under sanitary Meat marking — US 1-NSP'D & conditions. Meat grading on the other hand is a voluntary procedure. The different labels are: prime, choice, good, standard, commercial, utility, cutter and canner. The utility, cutter and canner are rarely sold at retail stores. They go instead to make ground beef and frankfurters. Prime beet, the highest quality, is sold primarily to hotels and restaurant! The highest quality sold in the supermarkets is choice beef, but lucky consumers may sometimes find prime beef on their grocer's shelf. In the United States, between 1962 and 1972, the annual per capita consumption of beef nearly doubled, from 62 to 116 lbs. Meat now accounts for nearly one third of the average American foot! budget, according to a report of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The report also shows public tastes have switched to more expensive cuts of beef and steak. The average adult male requires 65 grams of protein a day; the average female, 55. But consuming meat is not the only way to meet the requirement Sources of protein can also be found in milk, cheese, eggs, poultry and fish. Dry beans, nuts, peanuts, bread and cereal also contain substantial amounts of protein, but of a lower quality. The Under the new USDA guidelines, leaner meat will qualify for better quality grades. The new system will aid the cattle industry by USDA suggests augmenting these protein sources with small portions of animal protein.

Besides voicing fears that extremist groups might gain access to enough plutonium to destroy a city, Ms. Sarles spoke against the continued release of “regular” amounts of radioactivity into the air, water and soil. Novel Prize winner John Goffman, who addressed the Washington conference, said, “going ahead with nuclear power plants represents a monstrous abrogation of rights, in advance, for the hundreds and thousands of generations of living human beings who will follow those who live today.

The U/B Foundation is the vehicle through which private contributions are channelled into the University, explained Jack Latona, Foundation President. It is important because it provides flexibility in funding which is absent in the cumbersome State bureaucracy, he said. Mr. Latona explained that the Foundation is a private, tax-exempt charitable organization, whose sole beneficiary is the University. “We can only support U/B programs,” he said, adding that the Foundation could not do anything contrary to University policy. Flexible The Foundation retains an endowment of about $2.5 million, and its trustees legally have full control of the income generated from investments of this money. Mr. Latona said the University normally requests funds from the Foundation only if the search for money from state and other sources is exhausted. The Foundation then meets the requests, depending on the funds available. The Foundation prefers to use its funds for more “flexible” things, which are not paid for by regular state appropriations, Mr. Latona explained. He described the procedure for obtaining funds from the Foundation as “not cumbersome,” remarking that a check can be written only one day following the request, if University. A $100 contribution used at the discretion of the Foundation is equivalent to the income accrued from $2000 worth of endowment funds, according to the 1973 annual report of the Foundation. The Foundation actively solicits corporate contributions, enocuraging corporate directors to “look beyond the balance sheet of the company and into the intellectual resources which give stability and permanence to the company’s future.’’ The Corporate Alliance program acquaints corporations with opportunities to “contribute to the future of education, the necessary. source of future business, and The Foundation also administers $2 million in local industrial leadership.” The Foundation also runs a grants and contracts to members of the University, and while there program called the Annual Fund which requests individual is usually a 10 percent charge for contributions.

The State, however, is inconsistent in the way it regards independent, paying rent to the Foundation, he maintained. officials consider the Foundation both private and State public, depending on when they want to, he added. Jack Latona Elaborate Mr. Latona said the U/B Foundation is the most “elaborate” of all such organizations in the SUNY system, with total gifts and grants uses by the original donors, Mr. Latona said, adding that the income from these funds is administered by the state. The unrestricted portion of the old endowment is budgeted by the University administration with the for 1973 alone exceeding $1.8 million. Mr. Latona also explained that when the old University of Buffalo merged with State University of New York in 1962, the University had accumulated an endowment of $20-$30 million. These funds became the property of New York State, with the exception of about $1.5 million, which went to the U/B Foundation as part of the merger agreement. money — . those friends of the University who contribute $100 or more to the Foundation.

A simpler way of decribing the Bulls two game performance against Bowling Green would be the term outclassed. After fropping a 9—4 decision Friday night, Buffalo absorbed the second worst defeat in their six year history of the sport on Saturday night, 12-0. (They were beaten 13—0 by Vermont in December of 1972.) much more than we do," “Bowling Green just has depth Wright continued. The Bulls started out on fairly even terms Friday trailing only 3—2 after the first period. The rest of the weekend, however, was dominated by the hard hitting Falcons. The Bulls were outshot by a total of 115-53 for the two games. Bowling Green's depth was demonstrated when, after the Bulls first two lines almost held their own, the third and fourth units were dismally outplayed on several occasions. The Falcon’s strength was most noticeable in the second period of both contests. Bowling Green scored ten of their 21 goals in second period play while the Bulls were held scoreless. “When you get ahead like we did in the second period, you have a tendency to relax defensively,” observed Falcon coach Ron Mason. Against a better opponent defensive lapses would have endangered the Falcons, since four of their top five defensement were ill or injured for the series. Two of Buffalo’s defenders were knocked out of action during Saturday’s contest, adding injury to insult. Paul Songin and Mark Sylvester were both taken to the hospital but neither was seriously hurt. The odd thing is that Bowling Green failed to score whent the Bulls only had three defenders available, after having run up such a big score when all five were healthy. The Bulls continued to have trouble killing penalties, holding off only three of nine shorthanded situations. Buffalo was less than powerful on its own powerplay, scoring but once with a man - Seniors Darnell Montgomery (left) and Bob Dickinson have been named co-captains of the varsity Basketball team this season.

Studefits are usually not asked to pay for Buffalo home games in Clark Hall. However, since the Buffalo-Syracuse contest is the first half of a Canisius-funded doubleheader, the Athletic Department does not want to ask Canisius to let Buffalo students in for free. “They are letting us play there for nothing, so we had to help them sell tickets," said Sports Information Director Dick Baldwin. Canisius students must also pay to see the games. Student Association Vice-president Scott Salimando was disturbed by this unexpected development. “We had been led to believe that the students would get in free or that the Athletic would pay for their tickets,” Department Salimando said. “Now they are asking the students c HEWLETT-PACKARD UNIVERSITY PHOTO 355 Norton Hall Tues., Wed., Thurs.: 10 a.m.—5 p.m 3 photos for $3 ($.50 per additional, Pocket Calculators HP-70 HP-80 Business Machines Plus the full line of HP Calculators Q_ Buffalo Textbook osrecida a los estudiantes banquete extrajeros todos para cemelbra elbia de accion de gracias.

The problem seems to center around whether or not Buffalo is indeed the home team.

Buffalo will be in this situation four more times this season. Salimando said he would look into the situation and try to prevent Buffalo students from being forced to pay for what the Department is billing as a home game.

Cancellation of two chartered flights raises a legal question by Richard Korman and Larry Kraftowitz (c) The Spectrum, 22 November 1974 The Consumer Frauds Division of the Buffalo Attorney General’s Office is investigating the possibility of prosecuting a New York travel agency in the aftermath of its cancellation of two prearranged group flights, which has forced more than 150 students to find a last-minute way of getting home for the Thanksgiving vacation. Friday, State University of New York at Buffalo Vol. 25, No. 39 . The complaint against Travel Power, Inc. was filed Thursday by Bob Burrick and Mike Malkin, two of the students. They also have filed suit in Small Claims Court for damages allegedly incurred as a result of the cancellations. The controversy originated when Alan Rosenberg, who is a student here, and an agent for Travel Power Inc. arranged for a round trip flight to New York City on Ambassador Airlines at a discount rate of S48.27. (Full commercial air fare to New York City and back is S74.73.) However, the Ambassador Airlines aircraft apparently experienced mechanical difficulties soon after the reservations were taken, and was unavailable for use during the Thanksgiving weekend. To provide the students who had signed up for the flight with an alternative way of getting home, the agency proceeded to book seats on two American Airlines flights, one that was scheduled to leave Buffalo on Monday, November 25 and return Tuesday. December 3. and another that would depart from Buffalo the night of November 27 and would return on Sunday. December 1. The price per student for the new round trip flights was set at S60.77. or about S12 more than the original flight. On Thursday night, November 14. Marilyn Sun/, a representative of Travel Power, flew up to Buffalo and met with some of the students in Norton Hall to explain the new arrangements. Ms. Stutz affixed her signature to several lists of students’ names to guarantee that they would be provided with some way of getting home for Thanksgiving. At no time during the meeting did Ms. Stutz allude to the possibility that the planes' departure would depend on whether a minimum number of students signed up for the flights, according to the accounts of several students. Verbal agreement That same night. Mr. Rosenberg, with full authorization from the agency reportedly made verbal agreements to provide the students leaving on the Wednesday flight with bus transportation to the airport and back, since the flight was scheduled to take off several hours after the University’s dormitories were to close down for the vacation. In an interview early Thursday morning, Mr. Rosenberg said he had also been authorized by the agency to tell the students that they would be given food and some kind of beverage at a hotel near the airport prior to the takeoff. Mr. Malkin said the Florence Golden, a Travel Power representative, had assured him in a phone conversation Tuesday night that these arrangements would be taken care of. On Tuesday evening of this week, however, as students arrived at Mr. Rosenberg’s room in the Ellicott Complex to pick up their tickets, they were informed that the Monday flight had been cancelled, and that all the Monday reservations had been switched to the Wednesday flight. The following day, Ms. Stutz made a second trip to Buffalo to explain why the complication had arisen. Too few people had signed up for the Monday flight, Ms. Stutz told a large group of students in a lounge in Fargo Quadranlge, forcing the flight to be cancelled. Great expense Byron Rogers, Buffalo sales manager for American Airlines, confirmed Thursday that the agency had cancelled the flight for precisely this reason. The Wednesday flight was now the only way the students could fly home under the auspices of the agency. Although price differentials between flights that fly on different days of the week made the rate for the Wednesday-Sunday connection a full $73.00, the travel agency agreed, presumably at great expense, to absorb the difference between full fare and the original $61.00. Prior to Ms. Stutz’ arrival on Wednesday, Mr. Rosenberg instructed most of the students to pick up their tickets at his room on Wednesday morning, beginning around 11 a.m. He left for Buffalo International Airport around 9 a.m. that morning, apparently to get the tickets from the Airline. However, because of an apparent series of technical problems at the airport, including the malfunctioning of a computer that was to be used for making printouts of the plane tickets. Mr. Rosenberg did not return to his room until 5:30 p.m. Aware of the fact that many students were waiting outside his door. Mr. Rosenberg repeatedly telephoned the dorm to explain why he has been delayed. Legal action In the interim, exasperated students congregated outside his room in the Ellicott Complex and in adjoining hallways and rooms. They made frequent telephone calls to the airport paging Mr. Rosenberg and said they were planning to take legal action against the travel agency. Most students, however, shied away from the time and trouble a lawsuit woudl involve and were more concerned with finding a way to get home. Many were also angered over spending hours and hours of study and class lime waiting for the tickets and worrying if they would ever arrive at all. Some directed their anger at Mr. Rosenberg, whom they felt was uncooperative and partially responsible for their troubles. Others, however, expressed no animosity toward him. holding Travel Power to blame for all the lost time and broken plans. In the interview with The Spectrum Thursday morning. Mr. Rosenberg regretted that students had been inconvenienced, stressing that the only information he had given them was information the travel agency gave him. He said that he was merely the middleman and that “anything that happened is their responsibility.” First time This was the first time in two years of arranging cut-rate air travel packages for students that any problem occurred, Mr. Rosenberg asserted. None of the representatives from the traval agency, including Ms. Stutz, were available for comment, despite attempts by The Spectrum to contact them at their offices in New York all day Thursday. Prior to his return from the airport at about 5:30, Mr. Rosenberg contacted Campus Security, and three officers were dispatched to his dorm room and remained in the area for part of the night. 22 November 1974 Thanksgiving week which necessitated that they arrive home before Wednesday, several students had asked Ms. Stutz if they could get home another way but still fly back Sunday night on the return flight. Anticipation that there would be cancellations, Ms. Stutz explained that American Airlines has certain minimum quotas for its charter flights. If the number of students flying to New York City fell below the quota, the airline would be forced to cancel the entire round trip, she said. Believing this to be the case, several students pointed out that cancellation had become a foregone conclusion because they allegedly knew of at least fifty students who had cancelled or intended to cancel their reservations. But Ms. Stutz continued to assert that they could either purchase their tickets or arrange for a refund, emphasizing that it would be their fault if the plane did not take off. She also claimed that an American Airlines vice-president who was aware of the situation had taken a special DC-10 plane off a West Coast run and rescheduled it for the Buffalo flight. Because the same DC-10 plane would be used for each trip, it was imperative that students fly the entire round trip, Ms. Stutz said. Otherwise, she added, a smaller plane would be used for the flight to New York and would not be able to accommodate extras on the return trip. No plane All of Ms. Stutz’ remarks left many students with the impression that no plane would be available if too many students cancelled their reservations. However, in an interview with* Mr. Rogers on Thursday, The Spectrum teamed that the 195 seats the agency had reserved were actually in sections of a regularly scheduled American Airlines plane- While the agency had every right to cancel its deal with American Airlines if it felt that its transaction would not be profitable, Mr. Rogers explained, the plane would still be departing as scheduled, in contrast to what Ms. Stutz had said. Therefore, the 195 seats were now available to the students through regular channels at full fare, Mr. Rogers added. At the pre-cancellation meeting Wednesday night, several students told Ms. Stutz that they were angered that Travel Power had already reneged on more than one agreement to fly students to New York City at lower prices and on different occasions, and accused her of breaking her written agreement to guarantee transportation home for the weekend. When a few students threatened to sue Travel Power for consumer fraud. Ms. Stutz replied: “Go ahead, it’s your right.” Cancelled It was at about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, after Ms. Stutz had privately conferred with some of those involved, that a spokesman came out of Mr. Rosenberg’s room and announced that the flight had been cancelled. Immediately after the cancellation, Mr. Rosenberg announced that refunds would be handed out Wednesday night and all day Thursday. Those students who originally paif for their tickets by check were given back their original checks, according to Mr. Burrick, while those who paid cash have been given checks that are post-dated, or not cashable, until Monday, December 25. When Mr. Rosenberg got back to the dorm, he was accompanied by Ms. Stutz, who confirmed that all of the students had automatically been transferred to the Wednesday-Sunday flight. Several students have reportedly made plans with American Airlines to fly home for full fare since the travel agency cancelled its reservation. Those who cannot get a last-minute plane reservation will be unable to take buses home because of the Greyhound Bus strike. But just two hours later, after discussions between Ms. Stutz and Mr. Rosenberg, and heated exchanges between Ms. Stutz and the students, the Wednesday flight was also cancelled, leaving it up to the students to find their own way of getting home. However, AMTRAK, the passenger train service, has announced that it will honor all Greyhound Bus tickets for the duration of the strike, as well as provide regular service for others needing transportation. Prior to the final cancellation, many students, particularly some of the 80 who had expected to fly home Monday night, were visibly angered that they had been moved to the Wednesday flight without their consent. Claiming that they had already made plans for Thursday Immediately before The Spectrum went to press night, Mr. Burrick reported that Bruce Schmidt, head of the Consumer Frauds Division of the Buffalo Attorney General’s Office, said he planned to subpoena a representative from the travel agency to find out more information about the flight cancellations. �Birth Control Clinic expands office and services by Marcia Kaplan Spectrum Staff Writer psychological counseling.

The appointments mark the first time that hf* rl Hugh Carey students have been appointed to such a high level state body. Expected to convene shortly, the council will acquaint the new Democratic leadership with the problems of the state, map policy for Mr. Carey’s four-year term, and recommend future administrative appointments. Task forces will be formed to study and make recommendations on concerns such as the state budget, environmental and energy policy, governmental ethics and court reform Although there was no mention of a task force to deal with higher education. Robert Schiffer. one of Mr. Carey's student campaign aides, said the Governor-elect recognizes the mounting concerns in that area and predicted that a education task lorce will probably be established. Makeup The student participants in the transition council are Dan D. Kohanc, SASU President; Jay Hirshenson. City University Student Senate President and Mr. Schiffer. Chaired by Robert F. Wagner, former New York City Mayor, the transition council is characterized by Democratic and Liberal Party membership. Prominent political figures among its members include co-chairman W. Averill Hardman; vice chairwoman and Lieutenant-Governor-elect Mary Ann Krupsak; vice chairman and Comptroller Arthur Levitt; Howard Samuels; Rep. Ogden R. Reid; Bess Meyerson Grant, former N.Y.C. Commissioner of Consumer Affairs; and noted historian Arthur M. Schlesinger. During his gubernatorial campaign, Mr. Carey endorsed the SASU Legislative Platform, which calls for maintaining current SUNY tuition levels and appointing students to the State University Board of Trustees. Mr. Kohane is optimistic about the incoming Democratic governor. “We have every indication to believe he will keep his commitment,” he said, noting that students are now a significant part of the electorate in New York State.

Both Congress and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) are expected to amend the guidelines within the next few weeks. As passed, the new law entitles students to all previously confidential information within 45 days of their request. If HEW does not finish preparing the guidelines within that period of time, or by January 4, or (f Congress does not enact two amendments that would\ effectively limit access to letters of recommendation, written before September 9, 1974, the original law will s)and. Conflicts “The bill is laden with confusion,” asserted Ron Stein, associate director of the Office of Student Affairs. One clause provides access to confidential medical psychological records, which is prohibited by New York State Law, while other parts of the law are obscure. Dr. Stein said. Thomas McFee, a deputy assistant secretary of administration and management for HEW, said his department was “fast at work” preparing the guidelines. One factor slowing up progress is the fact that the law is a brand new piece of legislation, with no prior history. HEW must also work with “large definitional problems,” Mr. McFee said, including the availability of confidential medical records and student letters of recommendation. Should a school decide not to comply with the new law, it would face a total cutback of federal funds that have been provided since 1965 under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. A school may challenge the validity of the law, however, “the school can prove a need for [legal] interpretation,’'Mr. McFee said. Amendments Discussing the Congressional amendments proposed by those unhappy with the law’s wide-ranging effects. Dr. Stein said one amendment would limit the retroactive effect of the bill, confining access to those confidential records acquired by the University after 1974. This includes letters of September 9, recommendation and student health records. The second amendment would give students the option to waive the right of access in regard to particular information. In other words, if a faculty member will only write a recommendation on the condition that it remain confidential, the student may comply with that decision If these amendments are enacted, “the spirit of the bill will remain,” Dr. Stein said. “It provides for some check on misleading and inaccurate information following a student throughout his career,” he said. The law As it stands, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, sponsored by New York Senator James L. Buckley, is an amendment to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act signed into law by President Ford last August. It gives students over 18 and parents of children under 18 the right to review personal records and files, including all material that has been incorporated into each student’s cumulative folder. This encompasses scores on standardized achievement and aptitude tests, course grades and test results, health data, and teacher and counselor ratings. Certain aspects of the law have been attacked by administrators here, particularly the right of students to see student letters of recommendation. MacAllister Hull, Dean of the University’s Graduate Schools, said the law would have a major effect on admissions policy for graduate school. “Recommendations are a major part of admissions at the graduate level,” Dr. Hull explained, “and faculty will not say anything frank if the person will be able to see the letter.” Although he fears admissions will have to rely more heavily on test scores if letters of recommendation become obsolete. Dr. Hull favors open files for matters other than recommendation * Poor criteria F. Carter PanilI. Acting Dean of the Medical School, feels that opening recommendations to students would "essentially destroy the admissions process.” Standardised tests would not be substantial enough evidence to determine a student's eligibility for medical school, he explained. Dr. Panill also objected to access to medical records, which could be damaging if someone other than the student observes the files. (Students have the right to transfer authorization of records to anyone.) While the medical school relies heavily on federal funds, Dr. Panill feels this has nothing to do with his school’s compliance with the new law. but is simply a question of legality. “You comply with the law or you get out of the country,” he said. The law school, in turn, would lose two-thirds of it’s S250.000 federal grant if it decides not to abide by the law, explained Dean Richard Schwartz. But Dr. Schwartz said this would not affect the law school “heavily.” He plans to investigate the precise legality of the bill, in particular its relation to statutes of disclosure and confidentiality, even though he feels letters of recommendation do not play a major factor in law school admission. Richard Siggelkow, vice-president for Student Affairs, said the University would comply with the law because “the sanctions are too heavy even if less money is involved.” He attacked the policy of open letters of recommendation since it would adversely affect the process of faculty recommendation. “More openness creates less honesty Dr. Siggelkow said. Across the country, colleges have reacted differently to the law. Harvard University has removed confidential letters from the files of some 16,000 students unless otherwise indicated by faculty members. Daniel Steiner, general counsel of that university, said he would “comply fully with the letter and the spirit of the law” but felt he had a “moral obligation” to honor the confidentiality of documents written before last Tuesday. Two faculty members from the University of Chicago are presently working for the postponement of the date the law becomes effective, while Brown University has assumed a policy of “no action,” but will seek a legal ruling if the law is not postponed. ” Assembly wants Mr. Kunstler to speak on campus Student Assembly over half an hour Wednesday on a petition directing Speaker’s Bureau Bacardi light rum for what?

This segment explores the extent of corporate-government control of food production. Part two will consider the effects, of agribusiness on economics and crisis. *world food the world food V by Neil Klotz Special to The Spectrum (CPS) - Conference Rome, the world. As the World Food was two in the same vein. “But we are saying that neither farmers nor American taxpayers should be expected to carry the burden alone,” But what Messrs. Butz and Steele both neglected to mention is that the American farmer no longer (rods the picturesque fields of his family farm each morning, but huddles in the board rooms of the richest and most powerful corporations in going on ip things,.' were happening: Farmers in the U.S. and Canada slaughtered hundreds of cattle to protest the high cost of feed which they said made it impossible for-them to maintain their stocks to maturity. — These new farmers have names like Ralston Purina, Del Monte, General Foods and Safeway. Often they hide behind aliases you wpuldn’t connect with agriculture; ITT (Smithfield Ham and Wonder Bread); Greyhound (Armour Meats); Dow Chemical (lettuce, poultry and fish) and Boeing Aircraft (potatoes, wine and fish). As small farms fold at a rate of 2000 a week, many are swept into larger farms ten times their size. In 1935, there were 6.8 million farms in the U.S.; by called the food crisis, and- an 1969 there were 2.7 million. And infinitely more shadowy figure, Fortune magazine has predicted - Each day 60,000 people died of starvation. Behind the bizarre irony of these two events loomed an infinitely larger demon, popularly of the chocolate cocoa products, 75 percent of the bread and prepared flour and 60 percent of the fluid milk to name just a few, according to Dr. William Shepherd in a study of economic concentrations. The inevitable has resulted. In 1972 a confidential FTC staff study found that 13 food lines were overpriced by $2.1 billion of monopoly power. because And while Butz et al were grabbing the headlines in Rome, Attorney General William Saxbe announced that the Justice Department begun has investigating the possibility that recent food price increases may have resulted from price-fixing and other violations of the anti-trust laws. More profit Understandably enough, food profits were up 15-20 industry popularly called the American Farmer. As developing third world nations in Rome lashed out against the U.S. for refusing to take the lead in establishing a system of world food reserves, Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz, a self-styled free marketeer, noted that such a system “means less chance for profit for farmers.” Joint burden “We are not stating that we expect starving people to pay for food before they are fed,” Harold Steele, president of the Illinois Farm Bureau, continued that in a few decades there will 100,000 to be only about 200,000 farms left. percent last year, according to a study by the First National City Bank of New York. Food has become a SI50 billion a year business eclipsing automobiles, steel, oil and even the defense - Losing battle The result is that the small farmers left must fight a losing battle in a market monopolized by large corporations. As long ago as 1966, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) reported that although there were 32,500 food manufacturers, the largest 100 of those firms took 71 percent of the profits. Today four firms control 80 percent of the canning market, 87 percent of the cereal preparation market, 85 percent establishment. Monopoly power in agribusiness developed through a number of methods, including vertical integration, interlocking directorates and that has rapidly squeezed out the family farmer. Corporate middlemen have begun to control the cooking as well as the production of food. Even the corner hamburger stand agribusiness is part of the scheme: Pillsbury controls Burger King, Ralston Purina controls Jack-in-the-Box, Shakey’s Pizza is a subsidiary of Great Western Burger and Burger Chef belongs to General Foods. has power Agribusiness become even more concentrated through a series of interlocking directorates, in which a board member of one corporation joins with other in the same industry on another board. corporate Where big interests gather in such a way, price-fixing has been rife. For instance, at the boardroom of the Bank of America the following interests meet: Producers Cotton; Di (a processing Giorgio conglomerate); Getty Oil; Kaiser (holder Industries of diverse lands); Consolidated Foods; Von’s Grocery Company: American Potato; Standard Oil of California (another large Western land owner); Stores; Lucky Foremost-McKesson (a dairy conglomerate) and Newhall Land and Farming. government corporation.

He chose instead to demand again that a secular, democratic state be established in Palestine. He plans to establish this state on the ashes of Israel.” Thus spoke Zeidan Atashi, representative of the Israeli consulate in New York, who spoke here on Wed., Nov. 13, the same day Yasir Arafat, leader of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), spoke before the United Nations General Assembly. Mr. Atashi is the first non-Jewish member of the Israeli foreign service. He is a Druze, a member of a sect of Moslems who live in northern Israel. Discussing the “insurmountable difficulties” which would exist in Mr. Arafat’s proposed state, Mr. Atashi pointed out that all states with a Moslem majority in the world today are Islamic states, run by Islamic law. There is little or no religious tolerance in these states, nor any common culture, language or history between Jews and Arabs, he said. Such a state, Mr. Atashi believes, would create the same kind of situation the world now sees in Ulster and Cyprus. “Israel will not recognize the rights of the Palestinians at the expense of Israel,” Mr. Atashi declared, although Israel would be willing to allow the establishment of a Palestinian state which would recognize Israel’s right to exist. A state run by the PLO would not be such a state, Mr. Atashi maintained. He described the UN situation as one in which the Arab-Sovie* Afro-Asian blocs constitute a majority, Two peas Food-gv’t. connection Much of the criticism directed at large food corporations has concerned the cozy relationship between corporate executives and government officials. In March 1972, Michael Fribourg, President of Continental Grain, offered Clarence Palmby, Assistant Secretary of Agriculture for International Affaiis, a job as vice president of Continental. That same month, Mr. Palmby bought a $100,000 apartment in New York City using Fribourg as a financial resource. Later that month Mr. Palmby and his boss, Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz (former director of three agribusiness firms Ralston Purina, Stokely Van-Camp and International Mineral & Chemical Corp.) went on a negotiating trip to the Soviet Union. They officially reported dim prospects for sales to that country although unpublished reports suggested otherwise. In June, Mr. Palmby left the Agriculture Department for the job at Continental. He was succeeded by Caroll Brunthaver who formerly worked for Cook Industries, another giant grain exporter. In addition, the USDA Export Marketing Service (EMS) Assistant Sales Manager for Commodity Exports, Claude Merriam. resigned to take a job with the Dreyfus Corp. yet another successor, Shaklin, while his moved in exporter George grain from Bunge Corp., also a grain dealer. To complete the waltz, Shaklin’s boss, EMS General Sales Manager Clifford Pulvermacher, later left the USDA to take a job with Bunge. — — — explaining that since these blocs have surrendered to the pressure of oil-producing nations, they can be expected to vote along pro-Arab lines. By surrendering to oil pressure, the UN has indicated it will act against its own charter to satisfy the wishes of the Arab states, Mr. Atashi charged. The third and fourth articles of the UN charter state that “only sovereign independent states...” are to be represented at the UN. The repercussions of the decision to invite Arafat to speak are yet to be felt, Mr. Atashi said, adding that based on this precedent, any liberation movement may demand admittance to the General Assembly. Mr. Atashi also stated that if the United States were to withdraw its support from Israel, “Israel will try to sustain itself. Do we have another choice?” But he added that the prospect of American support seemed unlikely.

Six years after entering the State University at Buffalo in the freshman class, 54 former students completed questionnaires (in 1973) concerning their life experiences, marital status, family life, leisure activities, and personal satisfactions and dissatisfactions. The results of this longitudinal study were recently released in a report which attempted to follow up the lives and accomplishments of the 1971 graduates. The study sought to answer questions like: “How do young men and women adjust to an increasingly complex society? What is important in their lives? How do they use their education? How satisfied are they with their families, their jobs, themselves?” “I’ve done an about-face. I went from semi-hippie (complete with the uniform) to a straight teacher (complete with the uniform). I’m happy with my home, husband, and usually with my job, but there are a lot of things I want and I’m beginning to feel my — age.” Two-thirds of the respondents were women, and the majority were single. Most reported satisfactory relationships with their parents and were happy with their interpersonal relationships with other men and women. Nearly all respondents were working and the majority enjoyed their work, although only a little more than half felt their undergraduate studies were relevant to their job. “It is not very satisfying since I have a B.S. in Chemistry and little thinking is required of me, but I like the people at work, it pays my bills, and it permits me to also go to school,” one subject said.

Eleven years after John F. Kennedy was shot to death in Dallas, more and more evidence has surfaced to prove that he was the victim of an assassination conspiracy. The Warren Commission's contention that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing President Kennedy has been exposed as political truth by various researchers, including the ones who visited this campus yesterday for the thrid time in two years. The evidence is indisputable. The Warren Commission concluded that all the shots were fired from behind JFK from a sixth-story window by Oswald. But filmed evidence clearly shows that President Kennedy's head was thrown backward by a bullet that must have been fired from in front of his motorcade. The frames of the original film, however, were mysteriously altered to show Kennedy's head being thrown forward instead. Also, according to the Warren version, Oswald would have to have fired three shots in sis seconds, a feat FBI rifle experts could not re-enact. The incredible string of deaths of witnesses to the assassination and those investigating it can onl fuel the conspiracy theories. Voluminous evidence makes clear that the Warren Commission began with the conclusion that Oswald acted alone, then tried to build a supporting case, ignoring contradictory evidence along the way. It has become increasingly clear that evidence may have bee altered and suppressed in a deliberate coverup. It is obvious the Warren Commission did not want to find an assassination conspiracy. This presumably would have shaken the faith of the country by revealing that an American Presidential election could be invalidated by a politically-motivated murder conspiracy. When one looks at how the Kennedy assassination changed the course of history, it is not hard to find plausible motives for a conspiracy. Many elements were alienated at President Kennedy's 1963 test-ban treaty with the Soviet Union and proclaimed intention to withdraw American troops from Vietnam. Many in the CIA were bitter following the Bay of Pigs fiasco, and Oswald's strange Soviet and FBI connections and subsequent murder lend credence to a conspiracy theory. If Kennedy had lived, he would have been many believe re-elected in 1964 and de-escalted the Vietnam War. Since the Dallas shooting, this country saw 10 years of war in Indochina and five years of Richard Nixon. evidence which directly Enough evidence has been presented to warrant an contradicts the Warren Commission's findings immediate reopening of the investigation into President Kennedy's sassination. President Johnson never believed that Oswald acted au ie, and Robert Kennedy whose murder also raises many to reop>en the inquiry if he were unanswered questions V- wanted elected President. And, of course. President Ford's service on the Warren Commission casts further doubts on his suitability to hold the highest office in the nation. But the most disturbing fact is that despite the documentary evidence, the national media has completely ignored these vital questions. Whether this news blackout is due to skepticism, designed to protect men's reputations, or simply to deny that a conspiracy to assassinate an American President could succeed, the media may be acquiescing in a coverup that would dwarf Watergate. The many people who have contradictory evidence is overwhelming seen the documentary and filmed evidence have come away convinced. The media can no longer look the other way; the — — — — — — investigation must be reopened. Hopefully, the post Watergate climate will catalyze enough interest in the assassination to break it wide open after eleven years of half-truths.

Friday, 22 November 1974 . . by Sparky Alzamora When you get too old to climb the stairs, and if you're still able to think by that time, who will you remember as your greatest influences? The people who modeled your personality, who changed your reason for being? because I I've done some thinking about it know that the way I'm going. I’ll lose all thinking abilities by age 27, By and large, I didn't meet any influential people until I got into college. (It you count that fat lady who barfed on me at Howard Johnsons, than I guess that's one.) But really, things didn’t start cooking until the first day of my freshman year of college in 1471. The very first person I met from at Hartford changed my life drastically punky high school kid to college degenerate. And so it’s gone until this point. You might think you've changed through a self-alteration process (one day you wake up and the inner acne is gone) but your friends have done more for you than you realize. It's scarey. And so I list my top seven influences. (I’m allowing for three this year to make it a Top 10 list which sounds awesome next to a measely seven.) Along with that, a description and a specific incident which best characterizes that person. Initials only, Sonic might still be alive . . . 1) D.L. My first roommate. Spent three fourths of his one and only semester in bed. Always bitched about tonsilitis on just one tonsil. A 0.75 cum man who played in a rock and roll band. One night, before an appearance, he took me home to meet his mother. (Maybe he loved me?) They got into a vicious argument on opposite ends of a staircase, lie lost his cool and literally HEAVED a bass guitar down on his mother. She ducked. I couldn’t help thinking. “Is that all there is to throwing a guitar on your mother?" 2) J.N. The space cowgirl. Homey as sin but you couldn’t get her down with a steamroller. The loudest mouth on the UHa campus. Sounded like Lenny Bruce. Used to show the boys porno films. She and I were kicked out of a head shop once when she told a saleslady, “Up against the wall, Mutha-fucker!" I absolutely could not believe she - . Deft at mind games. He said that. 3) J.W. Kept them. three girls convinced for INVENTED four hours that his roommate had performed an unspeakable sex crime on him. Loved to open other people’s mail. Did an excellent impersonation of Ann-Margaret in the nude. During a night of - drugs, he maliciously and deliberately squeezed the breast of a co-ed. He blamed.it on me. Incredibly sweet, gentle, woman. 4) N.P. - Serious-minded Jesus Freak. Confirmed missionary of Christianity on her floor. Took everything literally. After a party, I brought my drunken girlfriend home (N.P.'s roommate) but Laune begged me not to. She said N.P. would pray over her. I said "Poppycock." 1 took Laurie to her room, laid her on the bed, and N.P. knelt down and prayed not only FOR her but OVER her. It was an inspired scene. 5) R.C. Infamous. Made his fortune doing hot comb commercials, A tenor in the musicschool who never let you forget it. Played a guitar sitting beneath a tree for two weeks straight. Would recite Shakespearean sonnets to pretty girls. Cornered J.W. into a mind games-opera match-up In the bathroom. The guy voted most likely to P.M. (>) become another Charles Whitman. A fascination with violence. Hated every racial group in - existence. Possessed an unnatural craving for my little sister. He demonstrated the Jimmy Cagney-Mae Clark grapefruit in the face scene smearing a jelly doughnut in his girlfriend’s kisser. When she hit back, he pulled a gun on her 1 jumped A MILE. 7) ?? The only UB-ite. One great experience. This guy could not get stoned. He smoked and smoked and smoked but he no get stoned. In desperation, a friend gave him some Angel Dust and POW! One hundred people piled in my room with who was stunned. I was trying to type a term paper. A miracle occurred. ?? stood up and shouted something that I had only heard in movies but the thought of it happening in real life was ridiculous. screamed “1 see God!” 1 stopped typing and asked very seriously “Who is he?” ?? answered “God is Carl Wilson.” Carl Wilson is a Beach Boy. - ?? ?? Shamless horrors To the Editor I feel that I must respond to a letter published Monday in The Spectrum by Jack McTague in which he compared Israel’s campaign for independence against the British in 1947 with the present techniques of terrorism employed by the P.L.O. today. If one can properly make such comparisons, then we must recall another war for independence fought against the British in which “terrorism” ran rampant. Were the techniques used in 1774 really that much different from the Israelis’ in 1947? Technology has obviously “improved” the devices of destruction but the underlying idea is the same. Revolutionary soldiers, hiding in the woods for sneak attacks can be readily compared with Israeli revolutionaries of this century, but would anyone equate them with the Black September fanatics represented by the P.L.O.? I can, although Mr. McTague says I can’t, condemn Palestinian terrorism and justify what the Israelis had to do to win their freedom. Secondly, let us not also forget who has done more for the Palestinians. While the immensely wealthy oil producing nations scream that the Israelis are oppressing the Palestinians, they have last — Arts But seriously one in attempts to improve the lot of hundreds of thousands of desert Palestinians while Israel has numerous programs to aid them in reconstructing their lives. Thirdly, if Mr. McTague would “embrace” realism for a little while he would discover that it is not the majority of Palestinians who want their own land, at least not of their own volition. It is a very vocal minority which must stir up anti-Israel sentiment by telling the Palestinians that Israel is the cause of their problems. The majority of Palestinians as well as the rest of the Arabs, would rather live in co-existing peace than die in a war of “liberation” they care little about. Do you really think that Israel could have defended itself against such a huge onslaught of attackers, if the attacking force truly believed in their cause? The Arab forces fight half-heartedly because the majority would rather not be there. Finally, although the devices and methods used by both the U.S. and Israel may not have been exemplary, they can in no way be compared to or equated with the shameless horrors perpetrated by the P.L.O. in the name of liberty. not spent dollar Jeff Kittay �Good time Folk music sampler warms Norton air Saturday afternoon and I am doing the Byrd Stumble up Main St., narrowly missing immortalizing my faceprint in the snow.

Admiral — The UUAB Coffeehouse's "Mini-Sampler of Folk Music" never had any intention of being another Buffalo Folk Festival. Its ambition, was much to provide a casual, low-pressure simpler place to hear some of the better-known folk performers, and a chance to discover that the professionals have no monopoly on the music. The "names" were at their best, and the performers who weren't as — trying to reduce the essence of Rosal Sorrels into a few quick sentences, and it looks less possible every time I think about her. To me, her most striking characteristic is an unusual, non-egotistical pride; it's the kind of pride that comes from knowing yourself well and accepting yourself. There was a strong personal bond between her and the audience during her sets, and Rosalie's sense of herself came across powerfully though never in an intimidating way. This is what am, take it or leave it was her message, both implicitly and / explicitly: "And when my song is over, This crowd will understand; They may not like my style, boys, But they'll know who I am. She looks a good deal at the past, doing so with hard-nosed notalgia in Utah Phillips' "The Telling Takes Me Home" and her own "Rosalie, You Can't Go Home Again." All of this comes through in her " music and herself; alongside this, ordinary compliments would seem very petty Banjo glue Michael Cooney's versatility is well known, but nonetheless amazing, and it was fully displayed here. On Saturday night (sadly, I had to miss his Sunday night set, which closed the festival), he moved from a great, long story about a kid on a Photos whaler set to "Blow Ve Winds In The Morning," to an engaging nonsense song, to "Wish I Was A Mole In The Ground," impeccably done on fretless banjo. Cooney was the glue of the Sunday banjo workshop, contributing some fascinating facts about the banjo as an instrument and how to play it, and the "1001 Choruses" workshop. I'm also happy to report that he's nowhere near as stiff or standoffish as I somehow thought he'd be; indeed, he was a delight. Saturday night, we saw "U. Utah Phillips, the Golden Voice of the Great Southwest" in other words, Phillips the character, full of wit and funny stories. Sunday, he was more into his favorite things train songs and his love of unions. The most memorable part of his stay was his discourse on riding the rails; there's too much in it for me to repeat here, but someone really should make it available in — — known rose to the occasion very nicely.

It was a plain olcj good time a description as simple as the joy that was generated. — An assortment of recollections First, Jacqui and Bridey, who came to town almost totally unknown, came this close to stealing the entire festival. Two middle-aged ladies from Lancashire, Pennsylvania. Child ballads, I thought, nothing too formidable. So much for first impressions. These women sang up a storm ! A lot of their material and delivery comes from the music halls and pubs, and the spirit was boisterous, delightful, and irresistable. Bridey especially incarnated the pub spirit, always exhorting the audience to sing along, rattling off an endless series of putrid and/or tasteless jokes, and manipulating a stamping-pole covered with jingly bottle-caps, with a boot on the end. The quieter numbers, most notably the beautiful "Bread and Fishes," spotlighted their fine voices and superb harmonies. Their days of relative anonymity in the U.S. shouldn't last for long. — Rosalie I have been having hell's own time print. Moments Fiddler's Green's set; Grit Laskin's hilarious symbolic song with a Nikon F as a sexual metaphor, and "The Boar's Head," a lovely Christmas carol sung by Alastair and Rosalie Brown.

X Scarecrow is the story of Max and Lion, two people so completely different, a pair so unlikely that it's rather hard at first to believe they could even talk to each other, much less travel across the country together. This disbelief lasts only a few minutes, though, because of the performances put in by Gene Hackman (Max) and Al Pacino (Lion). Scarecrow gives Hackman his first real workout in acting, and he stands up to it very well ndeed. Instead of maintaining one simple characterization througho ,,f (as he did in The French Connection and Poseidon Adventure), ht puts Max through a "give and take" with Pacino's Lion to turn out one of the most interesting pieces of work he's yet dpne. As Lion, Al Pacino adds more fuel to the fire he started with The Godfather. He is very good and getting even better. The plot is quite loose, leaving both performers plenty of room to move. Max has just gotten out of prison after six years. He got there by way of a barroom brawl, not his first, and definitely not his last. Hardened by life, he has come to look out only for himself, boasting, "I don't trust nobody. I don't love nobody." Max is trying to get to Pittsburgh, where he plans to open "Maxie's Carwash," his ticket to success. If he can only control his temper long enough to get there, he'll be all right. Lion is Max's opposite in almost all respects. He has just gotten out of the Navy, to which he fled a few years back to get away from his pregnant wife, whom he loved, and the attendant responsibility, which he feared. He has had time to think, and he now wants to see his son and start again ("How do you know it's a boy?" asks Max. "Whatta ya mean? It'sgotta be a boy!" Lion replies.). Lion is the Scarecrow. He can't understand why Max would want to beat anyone up. "You don't have to hurt anyone if you make them laugh," he explains. "Take scarecrows. You think crows are afraid of them? Nah. They're laughing. They say, 'Farmer Brown's a good guy, he made us laugh. We'll leave him alone'." "You ain't playing with a full deck," answers Max. Despite their differences, Max is attracted to the easy-going Lion, perhaps because he feels he can learn something from him. As it turns out, both can and do learn a great deal from each other. Each time they come into contact with people, whether they're working or playing, Lion winds up protecting Max from himself by cracking him up. For example, when Max tells Lion to distract the salespeople in a department store so he can steal a purse for his sister, Lion does so by running wildly through the small store's aisles, then dashing out the door. It works. But while we're laughing, Max drops the purse and leaves. Max is slowly but surely being softened. Lion's "education" is not as smooth, though. Despite Lion's efforts. Max manages to earn them both a short stint in jail. It is here that Lion naively befriends a fellow prisoner who promises to get him a light work load, which he does. Lion soon finds, however, that he is asked to "return the favor." He declines, and is beaten bloody. Max and lion have had a taste of each other's world. Scarecrow is a comedy and a tragedy it traces the growing relationship of its two main characters, who, gradually become one. Every facet of Max's slow softening is fully explored by Hackman, and in the end it's a great relief to laugh at what was once a tragic character. It's Max's ability to make us laugh that keeps us from becoming totally immersed in Lion's own plight. Pacino takes Lion from the highest heights and drags him down past the point of no return. He is excellent in the final scenes on the phone with his wife. He is always in complete command of his character. The film itself is long, and occasionally the feeling that "right here would be a good place to end" comes across, but the story isn't over until the last frame. Scarecrow will definitely make you laugh, probably make you feel a bit numb, and possibly even make you cry. — It's worth it. Scarecrow will be playing this Saturday and Sunday at the Conference Theatre in Norton Hall, where Pacino's first film, The Panic in Needle Park (directed, like Scarecrow by Jerry Schatzberg), will be shown tonight. -Kevin Crane , Page* tenv.< The 'Spdctvum:*.< FridaV; Q.% Novembet 119M)nvl < < Prodigal Sun �Inside jokes, Sensurround, add up to a big catastrophe by Randi Schnur with such tolerance; “Russell, are still a graduate assistant!" he is reminded.

After the first tentative rumblings in the earth that occur early in the film, a young scientist at the California Seismological Institute (one of the dozen or so protagonists toward whom the director turns his attention about every 10 minutes) tells his superior, "I but I think have a really big quake today or tomorrow" and the more experienced of the two chuckles right on cue.

It all becomes merely Triol of Billy Jack' Lots of action and mysticism in sequel Indians, child abuse, Nixon, Ford, political corruption (minor big-time), rape, Watergate, campus rebellibn, pot smoking, mysticism these are just a few of the issues dealt with in The Trial of Billy — Jack. The genres represented, not so much combined as simply thrown together into the film, include action, kung fu, fantasy, war and adventure. Something film critic Pauline Kael said about Billy Jack also rings true for its sequel: "You feel as if the movie could expahd or contract at any point, or add another theme or drop a couple." Incidentally, with a running time close to three hours, Trial needed five editors. In the long run, however, it is impossible to dislike this film because of its disarmingly childlike sincerity. Tom Laughlin, director of The Trial of Billy Jack, is a true primitive. Unlike directors like Samuel Fuller (Shock Corridor ) or Budd Boetticher (Arruzza ), who have held the title unjustly, Laughlin functions on the most elemental level imaginable. The connections are there, and they are very basic, but they work. With the money that Laughlin made off Billy Jack, he has now turned out a million-dollar Lone Ranger. Loser finally makes it The character of Billy Jack was originated in 1967, in an cheap motorcycle flick. Born Loser. He was described as a "half-Indian war veteran who has become a loner." The film was directed by Laughlin (under the pseudonym of T.C. Frank), who also played Billy Jack. Then, in 1971, the film Billy Jack appeared, with the same main character (again played by Laughlin and directed under the same pseudonym), but it was not a success until its re-release early in 1974. Trial's ground and helicopter photography (done by cinematographers Jack Marta and Rex Metz, respectively) is sometimes quite beautiful. (A lot of the film was shot in Monument where John Ford's Stagecoach rolled Valley and to see police cars tear through it is disheartening.) — — The foolish thing about The Trial of Billy Jack, though, is that finally it asks us to take it seriously (although the audience I was with did not). As the film ends, these words appear on the screen: "Some may feel this picture is too violent . . but the real massacres which inspired this fictionalized version were a thousand-fold more violent for those innocent people who were their victims . . Rather than direct anger at this re-creation . . please channel your energy toward those officials who either ordered, condoned, or failed to take action against these events . . . and perhaps toward ourselves for also turning our backs and letting such events occur unchallenged." . . .

The Spectrum Page, eleven: �Pyrexial onward Records, they aren't made by little elfs Editor's note: AH the specifics in this article are lies. AH the lies in this article aren't true. But all the genera! truths in this article aren't ties. This is how our records are made For the last 10 years, our records have been a mixture of many synthetics and plastics. Different companies use varying combinations of polyps, okers, and presolvents, but the main ingredient in all records is pyrexial, a natural substance drawn from the red-southern hibiscus plant. These plants were harvested in Georgia and the Carolinas until the major companies refused to meet the demands of the predominantly black unions in 1956. Led by Columbus Records, who made a secret deal with Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista, large plantation of red-southern hibiscus were seeded in Cuba, and the record companies moved there, where they could more easily exploit the seasonal workers of that impoverished land. Unfortunately for the companies, the Cuban workers needed money to survive, so the companies began to import foreign workers from the Carribean Islands, and paid them next to nothing. Indirectly this action helped the Cuban revolutionaries, because there were more University, On December 5. John Lee Hooker and Old Salt will be appearing at Niagara offices. University ticket at Norton Hall, Buff State and Niagara its available unemployed workers in the country than the government could pacify. One of Castro's first actions was to nationalize the red-southern hibiscus plantations, and the companies moved back to the states. The next year, five major record producers were called before a House sub-committee to justify a $1.25 increase in the price of their albums. They cited the moves that were “forced" upon them, and the cost of paying the American workers. That was the last time they were investigated by Congress, and no legislation was passed to control the record prices. By 1963, over 60 percent of the red-southern hibiscus pickers were immigrants from the Carribean Islands, living in migrant camps and being paid less than minimum wage. If you look at any one of your albums, you'll see a list of people who helped the musicians with the recording: the producer, engineer, mixer, and a few other folks. These people work in acoustically beautiful studios, and are the elite-workers of the company, one level helow the vice-presidents and other bureaucrats. The sweet sounds of ■? recording studios are a far cry from the deafening whine of the fact tries, where the records are really produced. .. Next Friday, November 29, at 8 at the Niagara Falls p.m. In those factories, you can find hundreds of tired, hard working laborers whose names will never be seen on the album jackets, but without whom you would have no music. They are the ones who work near the giant boiling hot vats of chemicals which send off clouds of cancer-producing steam. They are the ones who, in dark and cheerless basements, turn the handles that rotate the heavy steel molds the records are formed upon. At the end of the assembly lines they work with the toxic plastic wrappers that surround the albums. Those workers are mostly women, used as a tremendous market of cheap labor and always available to keep the wages of the workers low. Convention Center, Johnny Winter will put on a show. The slinky albino from Texas started out as an acoustic and slide blues man, but has turned to rock and roll in recent days.

Once the records leave the factories by the way, I have never yet the range of been to a record factory that was open to the public product sells the to the company increases. immediately The profits distributors, who sell them to the local outlets, who sell them to the neighborhood record stores. And though these are steps necessary to get the product from the factor to us, the price of each album jumps about 600 percent. And regardless of the price increase at each step of the system, the basic factory worker's wages remain the same. Contracts are negotiated by their union, which has repeatedly sold out at the top to the demands of the owners. In 1959, a wild-cat strike in the factory of Alkorn Records was violently suppressed by the state - — militia. I don't mean to suggest by all this that we stop buying records, because the companies will just use the decreased sales as an excuse to lower the wages and benefits of the lowest workers. And that doesn't mean that we should buy more records, because the increased profits will go in the pockets of the bureaucrats, and not back to those who need it the most. I haven't intended to blame the musicians who have contracts with the companies, because they have to make a living also. John Coltrane couldn't have been such a great musician if he was a waiter at the Blue Galaxy Restaurant five nights a week. And I certainly don't blame any of you for buying records, as music is a great and uplifting expression, and we all need a little of that. I really think I'm to blame for all this, for bringing it up in the first place. It was very self-indulgent on my part, just showing off all that I know I guess it's really not important where our records come from hell, they could make them out of human skin for all that I care, as long as I can still get them to listen too.

Page thirteen �Albert Hammond (Mums Records) Very rarely is the AM hit off an LP the best cut on the album. Albert Hammond's new album is the exception which proves the rule. "I'm A Train" is the one song on the album which works easily. It's fast, rhythmic bubblegum fun. No profound statements on social consciousness, death and alientation, unlike the rest of the album, which tries to deal with the problems and the decadence of modern existence but just doesn't cut it. RECORDS looking for his expressive niche, but hasn't found it yet. That accounts for the inordinate scope attempted (you can't confront all the problems of existence on one album) The Ozark Mountain Daredevils are a fairly new group in the music spectrum. They have a sort of Dead-flavored sound, with a lot of country and western mixed Randle Chowning, in. All the members Larrle Lee, Steve Cash, Buddy Brayfield, and John Dillon contribute to the group's material, but their talents both as songwriters and as vocalists are very — — limited. The album's opener, a country pop tune "You Make It Right," is a fast-moving song with simple lyrics, but it called .. himself to the loneliness, hypocrisy and decadence of the world around him. What he attempts to do with his music is illustrate his meaning. So the music gets louder as the words get "deeper." Climax, crescendo!!! Hammond has a penchant for the flashy and the dramatic and they push him to musical overstatement in practically every song. In "New York City, Here I Come" the verse which begins "Show me the park/ Sunday after lunch ..." is highlighted with the sounds of children squealing in the background. In "Dime Queen of Nevada," the music (which sounds suspiciously like "Mother and Child Reunion") is burlesquey for effect. All as though we wouldn't understand what he's talking about if he weren't so blatant about it. Which Sometimes promising brings me back to his lyrics. start off sounding they "Names know a man Who drowns his sorrows in the cheapest / booze He knows he hasn't got that much to lose A wino." Simple and precise, (and sounding a hell of a lot like Don McLean). Unfortunately, these lines are soon followed by “Names, tags, numbers, labels Other people teach you what you are You believe them as a rule While my name for you is beautiful Your name for me is fool." Awkwardly worded and unnecessarily explanatory. Hammond has to learn to leave well enough alone. To make simple, clear statements or form crisp images and then let them be and let his listeners fill in the rest for themselves, instead of force-feeding past his limits as a writer, and ours as an audience. What emerges from this album is a man with some potential who seems to be — Pag© fourteen . Th© SpefctrOm . Kaplan The Ozark Mountain Daredevils It'll Shine When It Shines (A&M) "messages"). Hammond's major concern is his lyrics. He speaks through his songs, addressing the excessive as —Marcia Million Miles From Home" and "I Don't Wanna Die In An Air Disaster" are two of the many songs on this album which clearly illustrate this (and from whose titles you can gather the gist of their album. as well borrowing from other artists. Better luck next time, AM The only possible (I did say possible) exception to this is 'The Girl They Call The Cool Breeze," a joyfully "dirty" song which teases you into its not too hidden meaning with the help of a Jamaican rhythm section which really does the trick (sic). Part of Hammond's problem is that he thinks he's the new Paul Simon. "Half A The lyrics are an attempt at early Paul Simon, the music is closer to ." "Kodachrome" and "Me and Julio This is Hammond's first mistake. When Simon writes bubblegum music, he fits it with appropriate lyrics. If Hammond wants to be Paul Simon so badly he should try a closer listening of Bookends or "Scarborough Fair." What he would find is a total blending of lyrics and melody. This is exactly where Hammond fails on this imitations of Sly Stone and Otis Redding, or to parody his own vocal style. In any case, Lee's indecision hardly matters, since all attempts are pathetic, embarassing failures. Putting this album in perspective, even The New Riders sound talented in suffers from confused vocals. The second tune, "Look Away," written by Chowning, shows some gospel traces, though it is basically a country and western song. (The chorus goes "look away. Lord Lord, look away, Lord Lord, look away ") It makes use of a fast-paced guitar and some fine female backup vocals. The most commercial song on the album, "Jackie Blue," features intricate lyrics and the added guitar solos, and has the potential to make it as a single. But the album as a whole fails in a number of ways. First, most of the tracks sound painstakingly the same. One can virtually interchange the lyrics of one song with the lyrics of any other without noticing any striking differences. Secondly, the vocals themselves are at best mediocre. The singers just don't seem to be involved with they lyrics they are singing. The listener at no time feels that the group is trying to project any sense of having been through the experiences they sing about. The Daredevils are typical of the present state of rock. If groups like them are even making records, be they poor or great sellers, then rock is definitely in a period of stagnation. At time, in fact, I wonder which group they are trying to imitate on which track. On "You Make It Right," they're trying to copy the Dead; on "Jackie Blue," it's Seals and Crofts; and on "It Couldn't Be Better," it's a combo of Chicago and Three Dog Night. In addition, the songs are very short, time-wise, although the total of 12 tracks on the album is rare nowadays for most contemporary artists, the usual number of tracks per album being eight to ten. Perhaps if there had been fewer tracks but more involved and extended versions of the better songs on this album, it would have come out better. The last song on the first side for instance, "E.E. Lawson," is pure trash. The vocals are ridiculous. Herb Alpert, owner and founder of A&M Records, should think twice before allowing a group like this to record such garbage. It's groups like Ozark Mountain that are just cluttering up the rock scene, adding neither innovation nor progress to the music scene. Ozark Mountain fits well with groups like Bo Donaldson and The Heywoods and The Hues Corporation. Groups like this make me sick thinking where we are going artistically and commercially. If an album like this is considered commercial, then perhaps rock ought to be replaced by some other form of music. The talents of the band members as musicians are, at best, respectable, and that's going some. The drumming is very faint, if heard at all, and the guitar work is quite elementary. One highlight of this otherwise tepid album is the track, "It Probably Always Will." The lyrics are pleasant and sweet, and the vocals are all right. But like most of the other numbers, it is much too short to leave any sort of lasting impression. It's the kind of song one listens to, and then 10 minutes later doesn't remember hearing. The title cut, "It'll Shine When It Shines," is one of the album's low points. The vocals are very strained and weak, and the tune sounds just like half the other Fridays. l974 songs on the album. It seems they should have taken six or so tracks, condensed and mixed them, and come up with one song. And such a song would be consistent, since the six or so tracks are so similar and repetitious. As I previously indicated, this album fails on several counts. First, the length of most of the songs is much too short to leave any impressions with the listener. Second, the vocals are poor. The singers lack any feeling or involvement with their lyrics. And the lyrics are generally secondand third-rate. The songs generally deal with the abstract feelings of love and the experiences the singers have "encountered" in life, but they lack a sense of direction, and at times don't seem to have any sense in them at all. A sad but truthful presentation of the contemporary rock scene. —Steven Brieff Love Reel To Real (RSO Records) The music business is essentially that a business. Too often music is relegated to a back seat bound, gagged and shackled. The considerations of business angles and hype take priority. The industry moguls define music along the restrictive and parochial view of the bitch goddess money, in the form of sales. Like any businessmen, they attempt to create, anticipate or pander to fads and trends. If successful, they languidly lounge and watch the public’s greenbacks saturate and comparison. How can constructive criticism, or any criticism for that matter, have any bearing or relevance when the supposed artistic endeavor is nothing more than a cowering, trashy fraud? As a reviewer I can warn you to avoid Reel To Real, but this appeal is made more as a humanitarian. Save your money and time, don't be a participant in Stigwood Arthur Lee's and the Organization's defilement of Love into just another four letter word. Don't look back. —C.P. Farkas — — — fill to the brim their corporate coffers. Nostalgia has always been a saleable item. Follow the simple dictum, "When in doubt, regress," and you can't lose. A few years back the music industry catered to the booming '50's revival. As that trend has waned, neo-nostalgia however, a is jockeying to replace its older brother. This journey through the past culls and re-markets the music of the '60's and early '70's. Examples of mediocre neo-nostalgia are the Byrds' reunion album of a year or so ago, the reformation of Steppenwolf, or CSN&V's on-again, off-again recording ventures. The strategy appears to be: recycle major musical personalities of the last couple of years; provide some sweet hype, and witness thy rock public's fall for this bogus bait. So if you can't collar a major talent, set your sights on a minor one. The Robert Stigwood Organization has done just that. Out of the musty rock archives they have dug up Arthur Lee, of Love. Love was never, by imagination, a monster group, and at best they nurtured a small dedicated cult following. But Love's Forever Changes album is a minor classic in American pop music, although its fate was to slowly decay in dank and dusty bargain bins in small record shops throughout this great mainstay anyone's land. Love was disbanded and Arthur Lee went on to a brief, disastrous solo career. The game plan is then obvious: procure Arthur Lee, scrape up a bunch of musicians, and make a new Love recording. Even if it is pure camel dung (as it is), there James (Buddah) Cotton Band 100% Cotton "When you do the boogie You feel real great They even boogie at the Watergate." -James Cotton Band When it comes to boogie and the blues, the James Cotton Band is one of the better bands exposure to the band Clark Gym concert. I them then, and now, around. My first was last year at a was impressed with after hearing their album, 100% Cotton, I'm even more impressed. In a gym crowded with inebriated boogie buffs, it's pretty easy to get the joint hoppin', but it's another story to be able to generate the same excitement on a studio album. The James Cotton Band has managed to project the excitement produced during their live performances with the finest in get-down boogie and blues. The album is so over all impressive that it's hard to say exactly what it is that I enjoy about it most. Probably the up-tempo of the songs, combined with the tightness of the band, has a lot to do with the high quality sound they produce. The foot stompin', whining blues harmonica of James Cotton, combined with the pulsating percussion of Kenny Johnson, form a sound that makes you want to do more than tap your foot and read the New York Times. The saxophone of Little Bo adds a touch of the old blues sound, and Mat Murphy's lead guitar is precise enough to give the numbers a drive all their own. Still, it has the "it's a great album" quality that can be truly appreciated only by listening to it yourself. Cotton is obviously the real force behind the band. His roots are implanted in the same tradition as Jhose of Muddy Waters and of the "King of the Blues" himself, B.B. King, but Cotton isn't a carbon copy of either of them. His music, although somewhat reminiscent of Waters' and King's, is in an altogether different style, more dependent on the boogie than the blues. There isn't too much variety in the lyrics department. The words to the songs deal with the usual "my woman is giving me the blues" and "life is rough" themes, but they are more played down vocally by Cotton than by most traditional blues singers, and they don't get in the way of the music. In one of the more traditional blues cuts, "Fatuation," Cotton sings to his woman: You're like an umbrella, baby. Just keeping me dry from the falling is that small legion of Love devotees who'll serve as a buffer base for sales.

Not that that is bad enough, but the importance of the effort made in establishing a responsible, representative student voice in the credit/contacl issue has gone unrecognized. When students on this campus keep asking where’s their input in academic decisions, the one time an organized effort is made for a unified student voice, it gets billed as SA Executive Committee action. Mark Humm frorr here to ther by Carry Wills After the recent election, there was talk of massive political dislocation, of a stunning blow to Republicans and a Democratic landslide, of the signs of approaching third-partyism. Cartoonists showed us a beaming donkey and a battered elephant. And, relatively, it was a big electoral turnaround. The Democrats won well over twice the congressional seats normally taken back in presidential off years, plus some big governors’ chairs (including the two biggest). But to say all this is merely to remind ourselves of the basic conservatism of our electoral system. We speak of a major dislocation when we mean that roughly 10 percent of the congressional seats 44 or so out of 435. Three out of 100 changed partisan custody Senate seats changed hands 3 percent. The gubernatorial changeover was about 8 percent. Or, to take one of the major “indicators” in the last election, we were told that the voters punished members of the House Judiciary Committee a punishment that affected five members, or just over one percent of the House membership. I repeat this is considered an outsize development, because the normal electoral displacement is only half of that, or less. Our politics is incremental with regard to elections. Many things make it so. Inertia. A presumption in favor of the incumbent which is in itself a vote for the system as satisfactory, or else as so refractory that no step as slight as casting a vote can do much about it. That last judgment is by and large a valid one. No drastic alternatives are offered at election time. When drastic steps are taken the initiating of a war, the tooling up of the New Deal, the imposing of price controls they occur in the time between elections. Franklin Roosevelt ran for office in 1932 promising a balanced budget and criticizing the wild expenditures of Herbert Hoover. In 1917, 1941, and 1965 it was proved that the way to take this nation into war is, first of all, to get elected by promising there will be no war. There should be nothing surprising in all of this. Each party begins with its natural constituency more or less assured; and then tries without losing that first constituency to woo the uncommitted in the middle. This means they both end up saying much of the same thing, aiming at the same potential voters. Both sides, of course, are tugged back slightly from full consensus by the traditions of their first constituency, but both sides try to blur these differences as the electoral deadline nears. Thus the vote means practically nothing in policy terms. It reflects mood, and can give a retrospective approval (to FDR’s New Deal in 1936) or disapproval (to Nixon’s criminalities). But in general it affirms a rather blind faith in the mass of our rulers. We expect most ol them to be returned, and talk apocalyptically when the parly turnover edges up past five percentage points. Insofar as people directly affect the choice of policies, they do it more. now. by way of the opinion polls than by way of election. Few candidates risked their campaigns by taking a clear-cut position on wage-price controls this autumn. But when the administration weighs this necessary step, and legislators have to take a stand on it, they will respond to the opinion polls that are swinging drastically in lavor of control. A candidate has to satisfy just the configuration of voter preferences that will suit his first constituency and the winnable uncommitteds in his district. Oddly enough, he is freer to respond to public opinion across a vast spectrum when he is not racing election. This exactly reverses most of our political scientists’ doctrines on the meaning of elections. But our politics has never been what it pretended to be. And yet, by and large, our politics is not a bad thing. It works in ways it was not supposed to, in ways we rarely recognize or describe well. We have a conservatism no one has identified as such one that has nothing to do with right wing views at all; or with left wing views, for that matter. — Unjustified complaints — To the Editor. by students of UB who cared enough to voice their opinion in selecting the SA leaders.

If. as probably was the case, he was elected by less than a majority (only a plurality is needed), it is through no fault of his own. As a wise man once said, "If the voters don't want to come out. nobody can stop them." Getting a majority of the vast number of students of this University to vote would be practically impossible. Mr. Salimando was elected incorrectly interpreted. I therefore feel that any accusations against Mr. Salimando or any other SA officer, are groundless. 1 hope future complainers will give careful consideration to the difficult job the officers carry out before they voice their grievances. — — - Mark (hansame isxemhly Member More o f a hole - — To the Editor. Our University of Buffalo is among the largest university centers in North America, but oddly enough, we have the absolute least interest in our school than any other in the world I think that it's about time it ended! Years ago. U.B. was highly respected for various achievements in all areas by the surrounding city. Now this center of higher learning is only thought of as the worse place in the area to go to if you don't drop acid or pop pills, I think I've heard enough! This falsehood must change! The only way we can let our surrounding city know what kind of people we really are is through organized team sports at ANY cost! The most highly attended and most popular team sport in America is. of course. FOOTBALL. With a good football team, we can attract people to our campus and show them that the old "hippie-freak" generation is dead. It's really hard to live in a neighborhood in which you’re disliked! Of course, in order to get football hack to our school, some of our terribly serewed-up systems and policies must be changed. I. Why is it that a very small minority of students need only stand outside of Ketter’s or the SA office crying like the babies they're trying to support, to get other students' funds (my own included) just given to them. Do they have any thought of returning it or even trying to raise it to pay us (the students) back? Football can be very profitable, if supported look at the Rich Co. profit gains since the opening of the new stadium! The only thing these few unfortunates should get from us is maybe a little of the sympathy they obviously desire (at least that doesn't cost us), and a large pink pacifier Why is it that some ol our great SA leaders "personally" don't want football so they stand around saying they can't afford it just to shut people up. They are supposed to be in office to support student views, not their own personal whims. If they think they can. they should be out! In a few interesting quotes from recent issues of The Spectrum Recreation director Bill Monkarsh; "The money is adequate here: the philosophy is the problem!" president Scott Salimindo. in a SA vice conference concerning the broadening and furthering interscholaslic sports: "I think it's a good idea; it should have been started long ago. I bis should start a new priority in athletics." 3. Also true: that the athletic directors had belter watch their spending. This may prove to be a problem, but it’s really of minor concern at this time. 4 Then there are those piteous children who just don't give a damn! That prideless flock of sheep who just "follow their leader." each being afraid of the words School spirit. If they don't want it. then there are a lot of us who don't want them! I think a reasonable line can be drawn between what should be supported with student funds and what should be shoved into a file drawer and locked! This line can be drawn without the I l)60*s system of stomping feet and flash-signs. People are wise to that and really are tired of it The line can also be drawn without the “executive" method of ignoring that which should be listened to. I really think it’s about time we started to look for more respect for the school as a whole instead of making the school into more of a HOLE! David Prawel Voucher inaccuracies To the Editor would like to call your attention to several seiious errors in the November 8 edition of The Spectrum.

When the Beatles decided to go their separate there remained only a trace of what they once had been. Many other big groups were breaking up at this time: ways, The Mamas and Papas, The Supremes with Diana Ross in lead, and The Lovin’ Spoonful, among others. While all this was taking place, a man who had just returned from the service, Richard Nader, began to contemplate what it would be like to have many of the biggest names of the 50’s in one show. It would feature Chuck Berry, Little Richard. The Drifters, etc. However, a great deal of money would be needed to put this type of show together. First he would have to rent a concert The show was a complete hall, and then he would not only have the book the acts he success on all fronts and was wanted, but more importantly, repeated the following month in find them.

Some other groups who are big on the revival circuit are The Crystals, The Flamingoes, The and countless others. Platters, The revival has been great for its loyal fans who come out several times a year to see the great shows at The Garden and eat up every minute of them. After five years now, the revival is growing at a faster pace than ever. All over the country, from Las Vegas to New York, any place you name, most likely the revival has been there. One can only watch and see what the revival will eventually come to: whether the music of the 50’s and early 60’s will come back on the contemporary music scene or whether the revival will continue to be one form of entertainment with only a few stars having occasional hits. Who knows? But one thing is certain: the revival has added a whole new dimension to the musicscene of today. Page eighteen . The Spectrum .

It is essentially an art dealing with a series of thoughts or concepts presented through visual or external means. Rather than viewing a painting or art object in the traditional sense, the viewer experiences the artist’s thoughts or concepts as presented on another level. Henry Flynt, an artist who coined the name “Conceptual Art,” defines it as “an art of which the material is ‘concepts,’ as the material of music is sound.” Mr. Flynt, Yoko Ono, George Brecht and Robert Morris are a few of the artists who began to exhibit Conceptual Art during the early 1960’s. When viewing a piece of art in a gallery or museum, the spectator views that piece as an art object, and the artist’s intentions eventually become irrelevant. The conceptual artists, however, are concerned with the situation that the art creates. All in the mind Currently, in Norton Hall’s Gallery 219, Kari Baratta presents a show entitled Art in the Head/Joyful Semantics, in which he questions what happens when you enter a gallery. The show is presented in the tradition of Lawrence Weiner, an artist who once exhibited a room containing nothing but the “feel the walls and/or the space.” According to Mr. Baratta. “elements of art experience are made the topic of an esthetic situation; that is, they are exhibited as art objects.” In this show, art is not the object, but is rather what is happening in the spectator’s head. In exploring new possibilities of art appreciation, Mr. Baratta has reconstructed the situation of an art exhibition. He claims art should not be isolated, but rather a slate of mind. By filling the gallery with signs and words indicating the emotions one feels when viewing an exhibition, the spectator is able to reflect on his/her personal art experience. Mr. Barrata feels the spatial arrangement gives these emotions a “stage presence,” therefore allowing the spectator to view these emotions objectively. According to the artist, the show is an exploration of the space existing between the art object and what the spectator perceives. the “By reconstructing situation you go one step beyond,” said Mr. Barrata. “Reflecting on an emotion brings you on the other side of that emotion. You are seeing it objectively, and this process is art.” Art in the Head/Joyful Semantics will appear in Gallery 219 through Dec. 5th.

Winning is foremost in the minds of many Americans. “The good loser” is becoming an extinct species, and players’ attitudes are, for the most part, no different than those of the fans. Shea Stadium “fans” ripping up the field after the New York Mets’ baseball playoff victory a year ago and a tumultous brawl in a recent Philadelphia-California N.H.L. hockey match are just two examples. Unfortunately, this attitude can be carried to an extreme. Last Friday’s snowball fight between the residents of Ellicott and Governors is a perfect example. The encounter was supposed to be just for fun, and most of the participants undoubtedly enjoyed themselves. In Monday’s The Spectrum, the battle was described in an article claiming that the Governors’ forces had won. The article was lighthearted, to say the least, and like the snowball fight, was not meant to be taken seriously. However, this article, one of The Spectrum's more flippant efforts, received more attention and generated stronger feelings than has anything else that has been printed this year. Although many of the people who have complained about the article were just kidding, some were genuinely incensed, and 19 November Rinks) The Wizard has gone into a short slump along with the hometown Bills.

Well, I don’t care whether Ellicott won or Governors won. It was just a simple snowball fight and the consequences of or losing are winning insignificant. I cannot understand why so many people are so upset over the matter. In other areas, where the consequences are much more important, student apathy remains high. Issues such as day care, lack of security in the dorms, and the Attica trials generate little excitement, particularly in Ellicott. Commenting on the snowball fight, people have said, “It’s the principle of the thing,” or “Our pride is at stake!” Yet the few times 1 have asked my friends what they thought of an Attica article, for instance, the typical response is, “1 didn’t read it.” The “Winning is the only thing” attitude is indeed embedded in our society. People sometimes forget the simple fact that you can win only one half of the time. When two teams are involved, there must be a winner and a loser, and if you do your best, you should be satisfied. Sometimes, a team just doesn’t have the talent to win. In that case, is losing a disgrace? Certainly not. Do we need this? - upset string.

I would like to say that athletics is, or very soon will be, in its worst crisis yet, one that will require strong decisive action, it not a minor miracle, to save the program from certain death. 1 would like to say all that, but in all candor I really cannot. The fact is that I felt the same way last year, and the year before that and the year before that. The year before that 1 was in high school, where most of the teams were bad but no one worried about where the money was coming from. However, someone here was saying the same thing I’d like to say now. Ditto the year before that, and the year before that, and it still hasn’t come to a head. one that sees One wonders if perhaps the present situation groups threatening to cut the program drastically or drop it altogether, and student government groping with the same problems on an annual basis while the department tries to plan ahead a little might not continue indefinitely. After all, athletics is still alive and the issues are no different now, nor was the controversy less heated three years ago than it is now. Some students have always been critical of the smaller varsity programs. Some students have always felt that student money would more properly go to something else. Athletics is not nearly as popular here as it is in the majority of the nation’s colleges and universities. These obstacles were here when I first enrolled three years ago and they’ll be here long after 1 graduate in May. There is, however, one major difference this year. One can argue whether or not we are in a depression now, or merely recession with a depression to follow. These are irrelevant questions of definition. What is significant is that the economy is in sad shape and institutions a lot stronger than the State University at Buffalo’s Student Association are feeling the pinch. Hofstra University, for one, a school with a reasonably strong athletic program, is in the process of going from NCAA Division One to Division Three and will cut its athletic budget by about 75 percent next year. There were a couple of things that this year’s hassles proved conclusively. One . is that while the athletic department cannot be allowed to run roughshod over the program, the same applies to the Student Assembly. Student government should and must take the power, set policy and priorities and see to it that it is followed. But the Student Assembly which has on occassion attempted to operate as a committee of the whole, is not the proper mechanism. The SA must set up an athletic review board or some qualified committee to deal with these issues, both for the future and the day-to-day operation of the athletic program. It is obvious that coaches are not getting the kind of direction from Clark Hall that student policy dictates. In that case they must get it from Norton Hall instead. Students must assert themselves and take this power with or without the Administration. The University has an economic stake (facilities and coaches salaries) almost as great as the students and the really proper way to run athletics would be a group with representation from both camps. Fortunately, Dr. Somit has finally gotten oft the mark and will start an informal student-administration committee to deal with the future of athletics. If the administration can start and continue to make its feelings known publically on these issues, perhaps this formal group can be the forerunner of a permanent student-administration governing body for athletics. But one wonders how strongly the administration will stand here, considering how little they have said and done up to now. Beware student government and athletic department, for it is possible that the administration is powerless in this area and simply doesn t care about it. If this is the case, expect more of the same hassles next year, and the year after that, and the year after . . . - - —Canter St. Lawrence Saints skate hockey Bulls right off the ice by Dave Hnath Contributing Editor The Skating Saints of St. Lawrence lived up to their name Tuesday, literally skating the hockey Bulls off the ice in a 5-2 win at Holiday Twin Rinks. The loss was the second straight for Buffalo against ECAC Division 1 opponents. St. Lawrence came on strong in the first period, exhibiting strong skating and hard checking. These tactics, which made the Saints one of the top teams in the East last year, proved fruitful. The visitors scored three quick goals in the first stanza, controlling the action for most of the 20 minutes. Good skating “We just outskated them,” remarked Saints’ sports information director Bernie Campanella. “We had some smooth offensive maneuvering, just as we did much of the last half of last year,” he added. The smooth-skating Saints lost their poise somewhat in the second period, as referrees Murray Death and David Principe whistled a total of 17 penalties. That’s when the Bulls got on the board, Mike Klym scoring the first of his two goals on a power play just 25 seconds into the period. “Where people St. Lawrence literally fought to retain their lead, with their hard checking leading to two fights in the period. “We’ve got to do something about the refs at these games,” complained Buffalo defenseman Mark Sylvester. In the Bulls’ five games thus far, 133 penalties have been called,totalling more than 300 minutes, including 70 minutes in the St. Lawrence contest alone. Throwback Buffalo coach Ed Wright must have been thinking back a few years when St. Lawrence’s Peter Blair took the ice. Blair, a black winger who led the Saints in scoring as a sophomore last year, tallied just one point against the Bulls. However, he was involved in both second period fights without drawing a penalty. The Saints shoot-and-skate style of play, which early mesmerized Buffalo, was the ideal style against the Bulls’ stand-up defensive methods. “The style of play they used was contrary to ours. They just shoot the puck in and skate after it,” said Sylvester, “while we [Buffalo’s defenders) have to wait at the blue line for the wingers to come back and help.” The Bulls finally adjusted later in the game, but the lack of checking from the Buffalo forwards allowed St. Lawrence to control the action & music meet” 2525 Walden Avenue 685-3100 On Walden between Dick Rd. & Union Rd.

Dr. Wald claimed the AEC has attempted to “play down” the possibility of such an occurrence. “but under close examination has repeatedly had to admit that present leave precautions alarming loopholes as regards safety.” If a power plant invested in fuel reprocessing facilities, it would be capable of producing nuclear weapons. A reactor produces plutonium 239 as a by-product which could be made into fission bombs with minimum weights of four and one half pounds. Dr. Wald explained. A 13-pound bomb Failing technology In a keynote address, Mr. Nader criticized technology which he believes has not dealt with design errors, natural occurrences and human failings that pose a threat to the public’s health and safety. He explained that the highly toxic and radioactive materials would be a target for sabotage, resulting in a “garrisoned state” burdened with guards and safety precautions. The poor performance of existing reactors and rising maintenance and capital costs have soured the financial investments of both the nuclear industry and the consumer, Mr. Nader said, stressing the need for alternatives like solar and geothermal energy and energy continued on paqe 10 �Public Interest Group organizational meeting of the New York Public Interest There will be a general 20 in Room 233 Norton Research Group (NYPIRG) at 8 p.m., Wednesday, November NYPIRG operations are Hall.

More professional role Advising programs face restructuring, modernization Sugar prices continue steady upward spiral by Sherrie Brown Spectrum Staff Writer An increase in the price of sugar by almost 200 percent during the past year has spawned plans for a national boycott and placed several large chain stores in the unlikely position of urging their customers not to buy sugar. Last year, a five pound bag of sugar cost about 79 cents; last week it was $2.54. Worldwide sugar consumption has exceded production by seven million tons during the past four years, and this year’s crop in the major producing countries of Brazil and Poland was substantially lower than expected because of poor weather conditions Other factors But it is not just the short supply that is driving the prices up. Widespread hoarding in the mid-east, where “oil rich investors” have funnelled their profits into sugar crops and created a crisis similar to last year’s oil shortage, was cited by Kenneth Wenikowth, Director of Consumer Information in New York City, as an additional factor contributing to the inflated prices. Inflationary pressure is also applied by “shady operators,” who try to sell sugar at black-market prices to major consumers, such as soft drink — —continued on page 4— The Spectrum is published Mon- *********************************************** day, Wednesday and Friday during * the academic year and on Friday only during the summer by The z Spectrum Student Periodical Inc.

John Cott, President Beverage of the Cott that sugar claimed Corporation, prices would be cut in half if this practice was brought under control. The federal food stamp program which is now used by more people than ever may be another factor in the rising prices because they enable the recipients to buy more sugar and sugar products, according to Mr. Wenikowf. The wholesale price of sugar is now $3.08 for a five pound bag higher than the retail price. But the retail price will obviously have to rise to cover the present deficit. Even before the current crisis, nutritionists have been urging Americans to cut down their sugar intake and warning them that high consumption will decay their teeth and result in excess weight gains. Some officials have been even Dr. Grantham said the job descriptions were Editor’s note: The following is the fourth in a better define intended series of articles on the University’s undergraduate written last year to the though positions were already advisement system.

Mr. Szekely said the Committee is evaluating the Colleges on their responses in the open hearings and on all the supporting documents accompanying each charter. He emphasized that there are hundreds of pages of these documents on file in the UGL for public scrutiny. Despite the fact that the Committee members say they will interpret the Prospectus more loosely than had been expected, most observers feel that the Colleges which follow the specific requirements to the letter will have an inside track. The Health Sciences and Mathematical Sciences Colleges, for example, are thought by many to be similar to the academic departments in its course offerings. While the Prospectus did not demand that the Colleges model themselves after departments, its insistence on academic “legitimacy” was interpreted by many as a call to make the Colleges more like the rest of the University. The Reichert Prospectus has forced the Colleges to seek chartering from a University-wide committee if they are to exist past the end of this semester. According to both Chartering Committee Executive Secretary Yoram Szekely and Colleges Dean Irving Spitzberg, the recommendations will be handed to President Robert Ketter by Thanksgiving and he will probably make his decisions by January 1. The Committee will write at least one report for its twelve voting members, although it is highly possible that minority reports will also be submitted. In addition, there are six non-voting, “ex-officio” members of the Committee who may submit reports. Last week, Dr. Spitzberg outlined the criteria likely to be used in the evaluation of each College, or essentially, the requirements of the Prospectus.

Page three . �•S, / Commentory conventioneers will want to come to an area with a Buffalo climate. In fact, Niagara Falls lost the National Democratic Mini-Convention (scheduled for next month) to Kansas City because of the anticipated bad weather. The squeeze inflation has put on the entertainment and convention dollar has been compounded by an increase in the number of such public facilities. (In addition to Memorial Auditorium and the Niagara Falls Center, the state-financed ArtPark in Lewiston opened earlier this year.) - Niagara Falls vs. Buffalo by Joseph P. Esposito City Editor If a Buffalo Convention Center is to be built, city and county lawmakers must realistically examine a number of issues which have thus far been considered only superficially. Even if the Center is not built, those lawmakers must be candid with the taxpayers. The pitfalls of the Niagara Falls Convention Center and the competition which might result if the Buffalo Center were built should be the primary concerns of the legislators. The Niagara Falls Center was losing $8000 a day in six months after its opening. Property taxes in mid-July the Cataract City were increased by more than $6 per the second largest $1000 of assessed valuation this year Most of the increased in city’s the history. tax increase revenue went toward the mortgage on the new center. - - Shrinking market There is a shrinking convention market, evidenced by Niagara Falls having to advertise overseas for conventions. Buffalo officials say their proposed Center would primarily attract small conventions and trade shows. But much of the business at the Niagara Falls Center consists of small conventions and trade shows; the two centers would therefore be in direct competition. The upcoming Falls Center schedule includes conventions of the Western New York Safety Conference, the State Civil Service Employees, the State Restaurant Association and the State Farm Bureau, all relatively small gatherings. Also projected for the Niagara facility are recreational vehicle displays and crafts exhibitions. The Center also has smaller rooms, including a ballroom in which the State Democrats held their June Convention and an amphitheater, where the nationally-syndicated Phil Donahue talk-show was broadcast for one week. Good neighbor One Niagara Falls politician has called the proposed Buffalo Center a “Rape of the Taxpayer,” citing a consultant’s report which projected that in its fifth year, the Center would only be in operation for about 130 days. The poor attendance at last July’s Niagara Falls Jazz Festival was attributed to competing events at ArtPark and Rich Stadium. Few Niagara Falls officials still consider Buffalo “The City of Good Neighbors.” The threat of convention trade competition, combined with Mayor Makowski's alleged attempt to take an upcoming Conference of Mayors away from Niagara Falls, have made Falls authorities wary of their neighbor. Miami of North? As recent weather has shown, Buffalo “ain’t the of the North.” It in unlikely that many Miami Free tickets Additionally, there are private concerns such as Kleinhans, the Century Theater and Melody Fair which attract big-time concerts and other feature entertainment. The County-built Rich Stadium is a football-only facility and there is talk of building a baseball stadium. Much of the attendance at the Falls Center and ArtPark has been courtesy of free tickets. At the highly-touted Miss USA pageant, for example, there were so many empty seats, despite the free tickets, that the TV cameras would not scan the audience. One can only wonder how Buffalo can afford to build the Center in light 35f the city’s economic situation. The “funny” Board of Education budget is a good example. Housing instead Perhaps the expected economic boost and stimulation of the construction industry which many give as a reason for building the Center could just as easily result from developing more housing in the Buffalo area. The Center-related jobs may prove seasonal and low-paying. The promise of hotel jobs is based on the assumption that the Center could support several hotels year-round. The Niagara Falls experience indicates, however, that hotels will not hurry to build until the Center is completed, or at least, well along the way. — — Downtown convention center Sugar is still under consideration The building of a new convention center in downtown Buffalo has the support of Buffalo Mayor Stanley Makowski and County Executive Ned Regan. The building of the Center will provide about one thousand additional construction jobs, an industry which now has a thirty percent unemployment rate in Buffalo, Mr. Makowski said recently. He explained that it will also stimulate the construction of new hotels and motets in the downtown area. Additionally, after the Center is built, about one thousand people will be employed in Center-related jobs. Economic growth County legislator Susan Lubick said the Center should increase both the city and county’s sales and property tax revenues. The project is also expected to revitalize and stimulate economic growth of the downtown area. While City councilman Bill Price also favors the Convention Center, he feels the city government should try to match the financing of it with a revitalization of city neighborhoods. The twenty million dollars needed to build the Center will be provided by the County, but the City will lease the facility from the county upon completion. Bed taxes on area hotels and motels will bring the county an estimated $500,000 yearly and Advisement.. relieve Erie County taxpayers of some of the tax burden since the taxes will be paid for primarily by out-of-area people. According to Ms. Lubick. the cost of the Convention Center will pul an annual deficit of SI .2 million on the city, which will then be reduced to about S700.000 annually by the hotel bed tax. Private business interest will take up some of this deficit, but the bulk will be paid by the taxpayer. Tax burden The tax burden on the county and city is the main reason for opposition to the Convention Center, but Mr. Makowski said the spent tax dollars would be worth it if Buffalo is to keep pace with other cities. Other criticism has been that the Buffalo Center would have to compete with the Niagara Falls Convention Center. However, Ms. Lubick said they will be two completely different facilities. While the Niagara Center is more an auditorium, billing such activities as sports events and concerts, the Buffalo Center will handle regional business conventions. Dallas and Ft. Worth are about as far apart as Buffalo and Niagara Falls, said Mr. Makowski, and both cities have convention centers that actually complement each other. —continued from page 2— measuring how well advisors were communicating with students. “It is critical that we understand how we are coming across,” Dr. Grantham said. DUE advisement has conducted three surveys of incoming freshman in the last three years to find out what they expected from academic advisement. A follow-up survey of the latest group, now in its sophomore year, was conducted this fall. Dr. Grantham reported that in each study, students indicated they were satisfied. This has lead him to believe that the alleged widespread dissaffection with advisement is taking place Satisfaction indicated sometime in the junior and senior years of a student’s stay here. Grantham with the academic Dr. agreed Because DUE has no money or resources for advisors who continue to ask for more specific criteria for evaluating themselves and better these surveys, Dr. Grantham said they are being definitions of which services they are expected to done out of his “own back pocket.” He indicated provide. He said that DUE was continuing to work that he would continue to conduct the surveys as on this problem, and reiterated the importance of long as it was necessary to gauge student opinion. To simply give information from one person to another is not difficult, but it is not easy to teach someone to relate to another person. Dr. Grantham said DUE is looking for someone “who’s head is screwed on right.” Asked if his view that advisors should be skilled counselors who are able to develop a rapport with students precluded the chance for faculty advisement, Dr. Grantham said no. “Faculty advisors must be voluntary and trained,” he maintained.

Aside from its calorie content, “sugar is nutritionally a big fat zero,” explained Lois Meyer of the Food and Drug Administration. Toxic substitute There have been warnings about a new sugar substitute called aspartame, which may cause brain damage in children. Senator William Proxmire (D., Wisconsin) called for the FDA to withdraw approval of the substitute before it is sold on the market. Sen. Proxmire pointed to studies by Dr. John W. Olney would found a toxic reaction between aspartame and other artificially sweetened foods. This reaction only occurs in children. A hearing date has not yet been set by the FDA. Boycotts Boycotts protesting the high sugar prices are going on all over the country to protest prices. New York City Consumer Affairs Commissioner Elinor called Nov. 7 a Gruggenheimer “the public’s city-wide boycott only defense.” The Boston City Council has designated the week of November 25, Boycott Sugar Week and some organizers of last year’s nation-wide meat boycott have called for one in Los Angeles later this month. “Our hope,” one of the organizers said, “is that consumers everywhere will cooperate in a venture that will profit them health-wise and price-wise.” Chopper The Price supermarket chain in upstate New York and Western Mass, has posted signs urging their consumers not to buy sugar.

The ttio SHORTS Vice presidential designee and former New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller may be summoned to testify at the trials of Dacajewiah (John Hill) and Charlie Joe Pernasoiles, accused of murdering guard William Quinn during the Attica Prison uprising. Mr. Quinn died in a hospital after being wounded during the takeover. Defense Attorney William Kunstler said in a press conference Monday that Mr. Rockefeller, who has taken full responsibility for what happened at Attica, has never confronted those who were inside the yard during the uprising. Calling the trial political, Mr. Kunstler said its sole purpose has been to exonerate Mr. Rockefeller of the deaths of 43 people by finding the Attica defendants guilty. Fast for a World Harvest On Thursday, November 21, a week before Thanksgiving, Oxfam-America, an affiliate of the International Relief Agency, is sponsoring a one day “Fast for a World Harvest.” Those participating will limit themselves to coffee, tea, fruit jucie, or broth and will contribute the money they would have spent on food to Oxfam-America. The organization will use the money in the small, long-term projects it conducts in three continents to help farmers and villagers raise their own feed. About 30 percent of the funds will be used for immediate relief. Carrie Levinson, a spokesperson for the organization, has emphasized that the major goal of the fast is “to get Americans conscious of what it’s like to be hungry” and to lead them to question the “morality” of the average American consumption of four times more meat than the body can use and other related issues. The Oxfam people hope that the fast will encourage people to abstain from meat one day a week. Contributions should be mailed to: Fast for a World Harvest Oxfam-America P.O.

The government tries to present an “illusion of fairness” when none exists, he added, and the idea of American justice has become “unbelievable, even in mythology.” Mr. Kunstler hopes the trial will accomplish more than a legal victory. “The state is using the court to destroy, we’re going to use the court to build,” he emphasized, terming the case “a trial for to destroy system humanity,” Pointing to the recent victory of the defendants at the Wounded Knee trial, Mr. Kunstler said, "If I have any hope for my life, or for anyone’s, it is because of what happened at Wounded Knee. He also criticized the jury system which “eliminates the poor who are less inclined to favor the establishment.” Jurors are only paid $8 a day, and a poor person cannot afford to take off the time from their jobs, he said. Illegal transfer Mr. Kunstler also discussed how Mr. Hill had been illegally transferred to Attica from Elmira Correctional Facility, where he had been serving a four-year youthful offender sentence for assault and burglary. He was not told why he was transferred and did not know at the time that it was illegal for a youthful offender to be sent to Attica, Mr. Kuntsler reported. The renowned lawyer called the defense a working democracy where the Attica defendants and lawyers make collective decisions. Charlie Joe Pernasoiles is being defending by former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and Mr. Hill is. being co-defended by Mr. Kunstler and Margaret Ratner.

Internal Revenue Service Kept watch on subversives An Internal Revenue Service “Surveillance Group” maintained a careful watch on all ‘‘ideological militant, subversive and radical” organizations from 1969-1973. documents obtained by a Ralph Nader affiliated Tax Reform Research group revealed early this week. The IRS “Surveillance Group" was found to have compiled a list of 99 “militant and revolutionary” groups, including the Americans for Democratic Action (ADA), the Urban League, and the National Council of Churches. The documents explicitly show that initial steps toward creation of the surveillance group were taken in July 1969 during the Nixon Administration’s first term, when Tom Charles Huston, a White House aide, told a top IRS official that President Nixon wanted the agency to “move against leftist organizations.” Randolph W. Thrower, then Commissioner of Internal Revenue, said he knew few details of the group’s operations, but explained that it was first known as the Activist Organization Committee. He also said he did not know why organizations such as the ADA -and the Council of Churches were among the groups which the IRS headquarters ordered field offices to gather intelligence.

The organizations on the list range from the “obviously leftist,” to the “typically conservative” organization. This special services stall was ordered dismantled in August 1973 by the present IRS Commissioner, Donald C. Alexander, after details of its operations came to light in the Senate Watergate hearings. Mr. Alexander said then that his agency would henceforth confine any investigations to “tax resistance organizations and those individuals who publicly advocate noncompliance with tax laws.” The IRS documents made available to the Research group showed that the special services staff had compiled files on 2873 organizations and 8585 individuals. Of these, 78 percent were found to have “no apparent revenue significance,” according to a final IRS report on the cancellation of the staff, dated Nov. 5, 1973. The IRS has refused to provide information to the Nader Tax group concerning the content of the files found to have no information relating to possible tax evasions. The other files have been turned over to other sections of the IRS. The IRS is continuing to collect data on organizations and individuals evading tax laws, and is maintaining a liasion with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Congressional Committees, and other “outside sources” for this purpose.

Each couple lived together in a regular, dormitory double room for one week. As the experiment was to have entered its second week, the College Judicial Board, comprised of administrators, faculty, students and staff, found out about it and threatened to take action against the students.

Men and women at Ithaca College usually live in dormitories that are coeducational by wings or suites. One male freshman who roomed with a female student for a week said he told her beforehand that “sex wasn’t on my mind." The student became acquainted with his rommmate in a snack bar the day before they moved in together “At first we beat around the bush, but then we got our physical intentions out in the open." He thought she initially appeared apprehensive about rooming with a male but was soon reassured. “The biggest thing about the program was we felt at ease with each other in the end,” the student observed. However, one 18-year-old female student felt too much publicity doomed what could have been a good thing. “It’s not the sensational story the press tried to make it," she said, “if it wasn't as publicized, we wouldn’t have gotten all the static about it from the campus officials."

Pace seven �rial 1Edt Legislating starvation — "How can a man who is warm understand a man who is cold?" wrote Alexander Solzhenitsyn in A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. Such questions assume a staggering relevance in evaluating the results of the recently-concluded World Food Conference in Rome. After eleven days of high-blown symposia, speechmaking, discussions and dinner parties, all that the 1200 delegates from 130 countries could manage to come up with was a cosmetic, compromise proposal to establish a new World Food Council. The new Council instead of having any authority to order or implement emergency will action to relieve the growing world food shortage merely be responsible for "coordinating and researching" possible alternatives. — — For once, however, the United States cannot be held solely to blame for the inevitable lack of action in an international undertaking that once held great promise. It is true that President Ford did refuse to provide an immediate one million ton increase in emergency grain supplies for the starving people of underdeveloped nations. No less callous was U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz, who led the bloc of developed nations in assuring that no real, substantive changes in the international distribution of food supplies could come about in the near future. But at this conference, blame was virtually universal. Discussion of the critical food shortages now affecting and spreading every day some 460 million people degenerated into petty politicking, with national interest the prime concern of each delegate caucus. Foreign policy objectives, rather than humanitarian concerns, were the order of the day. And starving nations, like patients bleeding to death while struggling to complete hospital admission forms, were informed that their pleas for aid must go through the proper channels. The rules must be respected, the amenities observed. The delegates' prevailing attitude was best expressed - — during a speech by a representative from Bangladesh, who was warning the 50 members of the audience that "mass starvation could lead to a cataclysmic degeneration of human society" when he was interrupted by the hum of party chatter and the clink of glasses of the 1000 delegates who had chosen to attend a cocktail reception given by Ghana next door. Perhaps the wails of hunger-stunted infants could have been played over the conference hall's public address system. Perhaps, as one frustrated delegate suggested, conference participants should have been locked inside the hall, without food or water, until they reached a real solution, not some bleak bureaucratic compromise. Perhaps there is no solution, and half a billion people will have to die while new conferences are held on how best to dig their graves. As it is, nothing was accomplished at the World Food Conference, as is always the case when those who are warm gether together to determine the fate of those who are cold.

Waterloo revisited After reading the account of the Governors-EUicott Snow War, I am appalled by the interpretation given to this event. My first reaction to the article was, “Which part of Governors does — Jay Boyar opened it, and was free. (We will not closet door discuss mundanities about such things as elapsed time, thank you.) There were two people in the master bedroom having a talk. It looked very much like one of those conversations in which somebody is TRYING TO WORK SOMETHING OUT, so being the soul of discretion I am, I ghosted on into the hall and got to work on the bathroom door. Since the outside handle worked oh bother the diagnosing and field repair of the door- . So went out into the master bedroom again and got spoken to in a way that seemed to invite a response. Being at least moderately affable under such circumstances, I went over. Both parties laid some confusin but pleasant contributions on me, such that I wasn’t sure whether or not if, or how, to respond. After some silence the guy involved clarified the issue by suggesting 1 go away. Which seemed reasonable. But as I started to execute this particular maneuver, it was already too late. Another group of revelers arrived from downstairs.Among them being another lady that substantial mutual confusion has existed between. We got into that, being joined at least briefly by the first woman at some point. Where we arrived is part of what I fail to understand about parties. I don’t know where the rest of those folks were, but you will of the monster storm of November '74. happened,*happened. Now where do we go from here? My expectation is that we might wind up treating each other a little differently, but here confusion sets in. My version of reality is already intruding. I keep expecting things to change, happen, develop, anything whatever but remain constant and static. Much of my confusion around parties involves watching people treat each other differently under condition A and then go back to treating each other the old ways under condition B. “Why would they want to do that?” asks the curious steese who lives in the back of my head. It being clear that such questions seem to be similar to those that have drawn flak upon my head in the past, I view it with suspicion. Not that it seems unmeaningful, just that when you start asking questions with difficult answers, people also get difficult. I have gotten better at sensing when I am about to blunder socially, even if 1 never quite got it down pat why. Buried in here somewhere is something to do with me, and how people deal with me. Messages creep in here and there that I am hard to approach. Which is not totally in alignment with my self-percejation. My experience is that of being a counter-puncher. If you hit me, you get hit. Approach me with friendliness and I am not usually hostile. Try to get too close and you make me anxious. A generally human set of responses as far as I can tell. Honesty seems to require my admitting to a long memory. It is not easy for me to trust people that 1 see myself as having been burned by. Living inside a system makes it hard to tell just how sensitive it is to heat, I must also admit. “Burn” in this case may well be a subjective judgement. Sometime ago I realized that drunk, stoned or whatever what came out of me was mine, behaviorally or however. If laid some confusing but pleasant contributions on me, such that 1 they want to do when straight. So how come they don’t? And what do I do to compound the problem? And what are parties for anyhow? To make small spaces in bad realities? Bother. Happy birdday. Pax. Governor’s territory that they were able to attack and destroy a symbol of Governor’s strength namely, a seven foot snow sculpture of an erect and by destroying this, we symbolically phallus castrated Governors. At this point, when we had sufficiently humiliated the Govemorians, a large section of our number left, feeling there was nothing left to conquer. The Govemorians, who refused to see their abject defeat, and slowly pushed the brave few that remained into the parking lot. As a member of the residual forces 1 can only testify to the cruel actions of the men (and women) of Governor’s, who abused their greater numbers to gang-up on those who remained to defend the honor of Ellicott. Outnumbered, our forces having gone home, we could only hold back the castrated and humiliated Governors forces for so long before we, too, returned to Ellicott. There we would have been quite willing to teach the People of Governor’s what real defense is, and in - - Band! Schnur UllllJ To the Editor. Larry Kraftowitz Amy Dunk in Managing Editor Managing Editor Michael O'Neill Advertising Manager Gerry McKeen Business Manager Neil Collins Arts Pausing before the steep plunge of committing the first words to paper, it suddenly occurred (damn, that is the second word 1 have had to check the double damn, dictionary for in the first sentence make that three) to me that the subject may not be entirely unfamiliar to those who periodically check out this space. Yes friends, it is time for another column about parties. Sorry, and all that. When you base your efforts on reality, you grab whatever comes by in the way of inspiration. The first person I walked by on the way into my department to do some real live academic work on Monday morning was someone who had tried to approach me at a party on Saturday. The purpose of said approach being to say hello, since we have been walking a little stiff legged around each other for the past couple of 'years. It was one of those messy eternal tetragonals that you would be either un, or entirely Tl ■ ||0 too, interested in, so we will and history the ancient pass merely say that we have not been exactly comfortable Dl 0 around each other. As of the m moment that this was written, it seems we still aren’t. Perhaps walking light is a hard habit to break. Therein lies a moral. Somewhere. Just where it is I am not precisely able to say at the moment, but give me a few more thousand well-chosen words to tease it out and I am sure that we can come to some sort of agreement. You all remember last Saturday. It was the day enough snow may have melted so that you could find your car. If you ever got home if you were stupid enough to go out on Friday. I was, and almost didn't. Got trapped in one of those subdivisions where the streets all lead into~one another. You would grope around for awhile trying to find your way out to a main road, and after almost succeeding come to a dead end or a string of cars that did not look as if they were going anywhere. Who said that the average suburbanite is not as smart as a white rat? Mazes in mazes, it was just wonderful. Domestically the strains should heal in a month or so. “Why don’t we turn around and go back the way we came?’’ “Because I am not sure I know how we got here!’’ So enough already, we all have horror stories of the monster storm of November 74. Suffice it to say that after Friday’s shoveling and pushing, and more shoveling and pushing on Saturday, by the time this aforementioned Saturday night party rolled around, I was some tired. Got there and it took me one glass of punch and one glass of wine to realize that I either stopped there or got very very drunk. While my id and superego were wrestling each other over this question, my ego and I went and blew ourselves to a glass of ice water. Which is pretty much what I stayed with for the duration of the party. Between ice-water and holding up walls, things went their usual well ordered party course. Outside of dancing some to preserve domestic friendliness, nothing really happened. Until 1 locked myself in the bathroom. Which was a little strange. I was tired and a little spacey from the wine, and I went to turn the handle on the bathroom door and it just kept going around. Wonderful way to spend a party, you say. Ahh, but the bathroom being next to the master bedroom, there was a spare door into the master bedroom as well as to the hall. Your quick-thinking columnist realized that this was not in fact your run-of-the-mill The Spectrum .

Governor’s was far from undefeated. The to mention the totally unsuccessful attack by the Governor’s forces on Ellicott Thursday night. Contrast their easily repulsed attack to the fact that on both nights we held enemy territory for periods of time. Further, on Friday night, our forces descended on Governors, pushed them from their position by the bus stop past the wall, until they regrouped, article fails shivering, within the fort-like confines of their courtyard. The Ellicott forces were in such control of the - the end, real victory. Oliver Fultz �One course load To the Editor. 1 have just read, with interest, the latest articles and editorial opinion advocating the four course load for undergraduates within the University. 1 see that now arguments supporting this position have widened in scope. Originally the four-course proponents were satisfied in achieving a finer, more meaningful educational experience through the new system. Now, it has been revealed to me that a great number of other benefits would 'MAY I PLEASE HAVI YOUt UNDIVIDID ATTENTION TRB from Washington November 19, 1974 A huge quadrangular hall holds ROME the World Conference on Hunger, the first ever held. You look down on a couple of acres of - delegates arranged by countries. There's a/iot of marble in the columns so you know itys Italy. On the wall in front is a great blue banner with UN surrounded by laurel wreath. The Veiling is so high that if you jumped in a parachute, you would land safely. Where is the boon/ing voice? Your eye moves to the center stage and a bulky man in drab uniform buttoned in front. Odd, how all official Chinese look like Chairman Mao. You take your little plastic box that looks like a ve-.tpocket radio, put the stethescope nipples in your ears and turn the dial to 4 ‘0” for English. A woman’s voice translates with feeling and rhythm. The six translators sit in respective booths in the rear balcony. You forget it is translation as the familiar charges continue: “Plunder,” “Exploitation,” “Colonialism,” “Super powers.” Down in the American delegation, Hubert Humphrey takes notes and chairman Earl Butz chews gum. This is the Palazzo Dei Congress!, built in the 30’s by Mussolini for the 1940 World’s Fair that never took place. Instead they had the war, after which they strung Mussolini up. This is now known as the Eur (E-U-R) area, an Italian acronymn for Exposition Universal Rome. Rome is the sickest capital of Europe with inflation at 20 percent, no government for six weeks and the city’s splendid, moldering walls scrawled with hate. “Death to Kissinger,” cries a red-daubed hammer-and-sickle appeal. What do the people of a small planet do when they realize that population has finally overtaken food? They come together, all the hostile groups, and look at each other, and wonder. They try to think globally. It is extraordinarily interesting to watch. One way to meet the problem is to deny it exists. Earl Butz, head of our delegation, says yes, but not a crisis.” the situation is “serious In turn, the Russian delegate simply announces that the earth will carry “30 or 40 billion more people” without any trouble, if everyone adopts socialist precepts. And last week the English-language newspaper here, The Daily American carried an unforgetable front page makeup occupying the entire upper fold. On the left a pathetic picture entitled, “A despairing mother in famine-ridden Bangladesh cradles her starving child.” On the right a - , balancing photograph of benign Pope Paul VI, blessing the delegates. And the headline between: “Pope condemns birth control as an answer to hunger.” Thinking globally is uncomfortable. It stains unaccustomed muscles. The first week is occupied with ritualistic tribal exhortations and accusations by bureaucrats of 130 countries. Who can admit the vulgar new notion that the earth is a finite planet? India has famine. So what? It also has money to explode an atomic blast. The rich nations spend billions on armaments. In the United States, the top five percent get 20 percent of the income, the bottom 20 percent get around five. But the tenant-landlord gap in many hungry lands is far . . accrue if the Administration and Albany would only think rationally about the four-course system. For example: less stress on the inadequate facilities, less scheduling and advisement problems, more opportunities for social, cultural, and recreational activities, less busing, parking and T countries the farmer is poorest of all, the man who feeds more extreme. In most poor everybody the most oppressed. The “poverty line” in India is $30 a year, and 175 million people live below it. There are four billion people on earth, a third or more of them go to bed hungry at night. Are these our brothers? It is hard to think of them so. World Bank head Robert McNamara said last September that they survive on a margin of life, “so degrading as to insult human dignity.” If Indonesia’s 135 million population grows at the present rate, it will be 1.5 billion this time next century. World population will be double by 2010. If you say that simply can’t happen, some will label you a prophet of doom and gloom. They would have said that if you had warned of a particularly virulent strain of Bubonic Plague in Constantinople in AD 1347. The two-century spread of the black death reached London in the great plague of 1665, and eliminated half of Europe’s population. A gloomy parallel? Barbara Ward is talking today about Mega-Death. About one in five face famine, she thinks. One might as well be starkly realistic. Our fears may be all wrong. But a man like Philip Handler, president of The National Academy of Sciences, is no fool. He- is quoted as saying that unless the rich countries are willing to undertake the colossal effort required to uplift the poor, ones (which he seems to doubt), they would be less cruel, perhaps, not to interfere at all and “let nature run its course.” It is doubtful if the public even yet understands the problem. There is now enough food on earth to sustain everybody. But it is distributed crazily. The United States is Mister Rich. With only six percent of the earth’s people, it consumes 40 percent of its resources. Can this last? A pound of grain a day feeds the poor in Asia, Africa and Latin America, but the American takes five times that, a little directly in the form of creal and much more in eggs, milk and particularly meat, with liquor thrown in. Delegates repeatedly say the poor countries must raise more food themselves. They have the land, why don’t they produce more? Because it costs money to farm properly. With a social revolution, and with plenty of fertilizer, half a billion small farmers could be self-supporting. They would gain enough respect and human dignity, perhaps, to cut down on their nightmare birthrate. At least that is the hope. That’s the road to the future all right, but what a road, as narrow and cobbled as a Roman alley. An extra pound of fertilizer produces only five more pounds of cereal in the United States but would produce 10 in India. How will the tenant-farmer buy it? Will rich countries finance it? America uses about as much fertilizer on its lawns, golf courses and cemeteries as India does for all its crops. The west spends from $20 to $80 on each 2'A acres of farm. The small farmer of Southeast Asia only about $6. The excellent thing about this conference is that it is held at all. It is a crash course in educating humanity. People and nations can be shamed. The immediate emergency is the next eight months until the new harvest. After that is another matter. It is easy to be cynical about the food conference. I won’t because I did not expect too much to begin with. Delegates have moved a little way to interdependence. The problem remains: land, water, energy and fertilizer are all coming into short supply. Demographer Lester Brown is certain there will be a UN emergency conference on Water in 1980 or earlier. Hunger won’t go away. Those torturing pictures of mothers and children will stay on television. — maintenance problems, etc. I don’t want to be immodest, but I think I have a better solution. Possibly, someone may have thought of this before, but has hesitated to mention it. I believe that the University should adopt a policy of one course per semester which would be worth twenty credit hours and meet for two class hours per week. This would improve the problems listed above approximately fivefold. Of more importance however, is that it would also have a great effect on the quality of education, as well as those nagging, but quite real, peripheral problems mentioned above. Students would not be tied down with unreasonable class hour commitments, would not have to waste time on fruitless face-to-face faculty contact, could pursue courses in greater depth, and would have a better study upon and opportunity to decide independently those pursuits more relevant to his education than those required at present. Let us not be timid. A four course load merely eases the problems somewhat; a one course load demolishes them. John Vasi Self determination To the Editor A recent letter in your columns attempting to draw a parallel between the terrorist tactics of the PLO and the acts of the Jews against the British occupiers of Palestine prior to the partition is so devoid of fairness as to demolish its purported appeal to reason. Leaving aside the differences between the indiscriminate slaughter of children and other innocents (comparable to Nazi genocide in Europe or American genocide in Vietnam) versus attacks on armed occupiers (comparable to the actions of the resistance forces in France under the Germans or in Hungary under the Russians), the fundamental distinction lies in what your correspondent refers to as “national survival.” Palestine consisted, under the British Mandate, of the land east of the Jordan River, now known as Jordan, as well as that west of the Jordan. For centuries both Jews and Arabs lived in this land, although there was never an independent Arab state in it. in the 20’s, the British created an independent state east of the Jordan and turned it over to the Hashemite dynasty. In the 40’s, the UN divided the remainder between the Jews and the Arabs. What was to be a second Arab state was taken over by its Arab neighbors, who tried but failed to conquer the Jewish state as well. Thus, the vast preponderance of original Palestine is now Arab territory. There has been a displacement of Arabs from areas within the Jewish state where they once lived. There has also been a displacement of hundreds of thousands of Jews from Arab states to Israel. Exchanges of populations have occured history to provide frequently throughout opportunities for separate peoples to achieve self-determination. No one opposes the rights of Arabs to self-determination in the vast areas of the Middle East which they control. The repeated wars and violence which have occured since 1947 are a result of the Arab refusal to acknowledge the right of self-determination of the Jewish people in their historic homeland. Once they accept that, negotiations over territory can begin. In its absence, the Israelis must hold what offers maximum security against military attack. This is where someone’s “national survival” is at stake. With the Palestinian Arabs it is only a question of whether they shall have most of the territory or all of it. Harold I..

Brian had obviously not lost his taste for Hershey bars. Mike was still obnoxious. He pulled a David Bowie impersonation, crawled around the stage on his knees, casually tossed a tambourine several hundred feet in the air and spoke in the pseudo-hippie language of the ’60’s. He even prefaced “The Warmth of the Sun” by mentioning the John Kennedy assassination: “Brian and I wrote it the day before which is kind of wierd.” It was a pretty stupid remark because we associate the Beach Boys with the beach, the sun, our first loves, and general good times. Their music is entirely escapist entertainment. We don’t want to be reminded of the bad times; we get enough of that at home.

Many dorm residents say they just aren’t willing to be disturbed night after night by pranksters who pull false alarms. “We’ve lost sleep, initiative and interest,” one student said. a real fire could pose a grave danger. Confusion during the alarms was revealed as yet another problem by May Abraham, Head Resident of Dewey Hall in the Governor’s Residence Halls. She feels much of it results from red tape at the staff level. When an alarm goes off, all Resident Advisors (RA’s) are required to go downstairs, check the fire panels and call Security. But there is currently no way to determine how many RA’s have called security, or which floors have been checked. One proposed remedy is the creation of an RA checklist to eliminate unnecessary calls to Security. Each RA would sign in after checking his or her respective floor and arrangements could be made to promptly inspect those floors where the RA’s are absent. This indifference is a severe impediment to precautionary efforts. Since Head Residents on the North Campus do not have a set of master keys, often the best they can do is knock on individual doors and hope people come out. Additionally, because many alarms in Ellicott are soft enough to sleep through, Few keys The Ellicott Complex is also suffering from red-tape induced confusion. Only Security has the keys to the fire panels which indicate the location of the alarm. After the alarm sounds. Head Residents must call Security and wait for them to by Amy Raff Staff Writer Spectrum Last Sunday night’s fire drill was just another in the long-tunning series of wee-hour false alarms that have been occuring in the Ellicott complex’s Fargo Quad, but a few students ventured out of their rooms this time. In fact, the number of cooperative participants decreases steadily as the rate of false alarms increases. — iThe Dept, of Spanish, Italian & Portugese presents Prof. Alan Deyermond of the University of London "The Quest for Hidden Meaning in Medieval Spanish Literature" Friday, Nov. 20th, 1974 at 3 p.m. in 351 Fillmore, Ellicott Complex the center for theatre research presents bertolt BRECHT'S � � BAAL unlock the panels so the RA’s can determine whether there is a real fire or not. Fargo Quad Head Resident Steven Serafin suggested that giving keys to each Head Resident would save time and avoid confusion. Another potential hazard is the Ellicott elevator system, which lacks a disabling device. The possibility exists that in a real emergency people will be trapped in the elevators which do not immediately shut down in a fire like the ones on the Main Street Campus. Response to alarms at the Main Street Campus has been good, according to the Head Residents of Clement and Goodyear Halls, but there have been very few false alarms and only one or two malfunctions in the system. Almost everyone agreed that it will become more difficult to rouse people for alarms when the cold Buffalo winter sets ‘Yaleys’ stage token fast raising money for the needy (CPS) The day international delegates began talks at the World Food Conference in Rome, some students at Yale did something else about the food crisis. By going hungry themselves, they raised over S5000 to feed families in New Haven and overseas. Under the leadership of Yale chaplain Rev. William Sloan Coffin, 2200 students, about one fourth of the student body, fasted for a day. each receiving a SI.70 rebate from school dining halls. The irtoney, combined with $800 in contributions, will be divided among the New Haven Free Food Council and two - groups that distribute food to Bangladesh and Western Africa. Three plans In conjunction with the fast, student task forces were formed to do their own evaluation of the world food crises. One group will keep tabs on the Rome conference, specifically on the resolutions of the U.S. delegations. Another committee will explore ways in which the university as an institution can aid in solving the problem. A third group plans to come up with suggestions for individuals and the New Haven community to help feed the hungry. Plans are underway to confront Yale president, Kingman Brewster, on the university’s use of fuel, food and fertilizer. According to one student organizer, the school uses all three in excess. His group wants to cut back their use and funnel the excess money into third world development projects. A national inter-school conference at Yale on the food crisis has been tentatively set for late this winter and a lecture series is being developed for the spring.

For Thruway hitching, the best places to hitch are the ramps leading to the Thruway road. Police officers may not be aware of paragraph of Section 1157. In Buffalo, police officers may still be guided by a city ordinance prohibiting a hitching anywhere by anyone except military personnel in uniform (Chapter LX, Section 30). This ordinance was thrown out one month after it was instituted in 1964. However, if you are stopped by a cop, the best and by far the easiest course of action is to get off of the street (if you are on it) and move on. If you are clearly off of the roadway, don’t play lawyer. Don’t remind the officer of your rights. Just move on. If you are issued a summons and are clearly not on the roadway, you may remind the officer of your rights. If he persists, the best thing to do is keep quiet. The cop can only make a lot of trouble for you if he feels that you’re becoming a nuisance. If you are clearly off of the roadway and it is not a state road, a trial in response to a summons cannot result in a conviction. THERE’S A NEW RULE OF THUMB FOR WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS. Page twelve The Spectrum Wednesday, 20 November 1974 . . �Athletic Dept, unhappy at budget restoration by Bruce Engel Sports Editor The Student Association (SA) has compelled the Athletic Department to restore the intramurals and recreation lines as passed in the original athletic budget, following the Department’s proposal to cut $ 11,000 from this area. SA had previously directed the Athletic Department not to slash these top priority athletic lines, and enforced this demand at negotiations with the Department last week. Athletic department officials, including intramurals and recreation director Bill Monkarsh, are less than overjoyed with this development. Monkarsh, an intercollegiate coach himself, claimed that the restoration of the original budget is an effective increase in nis intramural and recreation lines, at the expense of intercollegiate was cut from athletics for men. Approximately six thousand dollars the $1 1,000, although help up make lines week to last intercollegiate half of that represents the dropping of crew as a varsity sport. did Monkarsh claims, as Athletic Department officials from the controversy, that the funds taken away by the Administration have been restored intramurals and recreation and that the program would not have suffered throughout More money, more time money, As far as what will be done with what he considers extra the program to see what looking into that “we’re stated Monkarsh getting more we can do with it.” He mentioned the possibility of skating time at Holiday Twin Rinks for students after selected Buffalo home games, as well as his desire to have additional hours and special events in the Amherst Bubble (temporary recreation facility slated for the Amherst campus next semester). SA officials have consistently demanded the restoration of these funds, as passed in their original budget, even if it did effectively a increase the program. SA president Frank Jackalone wrote in memorandum to the Athletic Department that any funds received from the Administration were to be considered additions to and not substitutions for the SA’s budget.

A wet lost due to the weather, will most likely be dropped altogether because of the grounds. Hockey Bulls downed, 6-5 Buffalo’s hockey Bulls, an EC AC Division II team, still have never defeated a Division I squad. But they came ever so close Saturday night, dropping a 6-5 decision to Clarkson College on a last minute Golden Knight goal. Though it was the Bulls’ first loss of the young season, it came at the hands of what may prove to be their toughest opponent this year. The closeness of the contest seems to be a good omen for the season as a whole. “I’m really proud of the way they played,” remarked Buffalo coach Ed Wright, after the loss. “I think they really opened up some eyes up here.” The Bulls certainly opened the eyes of an over-confident Clarkson squad, taking an early 2-0 lead on goals by Jack Kaminska and Doug Bowman within 40 seconds of each other. Power plays were a major factor in the contest, accounting for four of Clarkson’s goals and three of Buffalo's. The game had a lot of penalties and both squads had the offensive skating ability to take advantage of their man-up situations. Though neither team played particularly good defense, it sould be noted that they were under power play pressure quite often. Bull forward Jack Kaminska, a Canisius High School product, skates from the goal after a Buffalo shot on Elmira's goalie in the Bulls' home opener. Kaminska opened the scoring in Buffalo's loss at Clarkson last Saturday night. The 6-5 setback was Buffalo's first loss of the young season. away The Bulls were down 5-3 midway through the final stanza before power play goals by Mark Sylvester and Rick Wolstenholme tied it up. In all, five different men scored for the Bulls, their balanced continuing offensive attack, established in their first three games. Clarkson outshot the Bulls 43-41 in the wide open, free skating contest, but none were more important than the one that came off a face off with just under a minute left in the game. Buffalo, vainly trying to kill a penalty to Wolstenholme, was drawn into a fight in front of their goal. Each team drew two roughing penalties in the fracas. With a sparse ice population, Clarkson center Dave Taylor won the ensuing face off from Bulls co-captain and top face off man Doug Bowman. Taylor slipped the puck under Buffalo goalie John Moore and within seconds Dan O’Driscoll put it in to win the game for host Clarkson. After last night’s game against another Division 1 squad, St. Lawrence, the Bulls travel to Bowling Green for two games this weekend. - — (B), Haywood (Cooper) (B). Sylvester (B).

Page thirteen �Weu? attitude ’ More publicity for basketball by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer The slogan on the door to the office of Basketball assistant coaches Harry Hutt and Bob Case reads, “A new season, a new attitude.” Officially, this year’s campaign is entitled, “A Program on the Move,” but the idea is the same. The Bulls are anxious to redeem last year’s 19 losses. “We’ve got to move forward,” explained Hutt, “but we can’t get people believing we’re going to win 25 games this year and go to the NCAA Championships. Last year, we lost to Syracuse by 45 points. If we lose by 44 ttys year, that’s progress.” Hutt claimed that a realistic goal would be a .500 season, and that this year would be phase one of the program. “Last year was phase zero,” Hutt added, referring to the late appointment of head coach Leo Richardson, precluding the possibility of a successful recruiting year. Jack Ramsay, coach of the Buffalo Braves. Richardson will follow with a speech explaining his new program. His assistants and players will then be introduced, one by one. Even bumper stickers The Bulls have had 10,000 placemats printed up to further publicize the team. The placemats, paid for by the Riverside Men’s Shop, will be distributed to local restaurants. Each will contain a picture of the coaches, and the Bulls’ schedule. “People will sit down to dinner, and they’ll see that Buffalo is playing that night,” said Hutt. “It will bring in more people.” The Bulls have also found a sponsor for the printing of 3000 bumper stickers. Richardson is trying to make himself more available to campus groups and local clubs. He recently spoke at a Rotary Club meeting and intends to speak on campus in the near future. Finally, this Saturday at 1 p.m. there will be a “meet the team” intra-squad game, open to the public. Each of the players will be introduced to Lunch with the team the spectators prior to the game.

Highlighting the luncheon will be a speech by coach. Buffalo junior Mark Sylvester has won The Spectrum's Athlete of the Week honors this week. Despite being a defenseman, Sylvester made major contributions to the Bulls offense in last week's contests, recording three goals and two assists. Most notable were two spectacular and unassisted tallies in the rout of Kent State last Wednesday night. VoUeyballers defeat Geneseo State, 15-10 by Joy Clark Spectrum Staff Writer In their usual up and down style, Buffalo’s volleyball team defeated Geneseo State Thursday night at Clark Hall. “People fluctuated sometimes it seemed like there were different people on the floor,” said Coach Cindy Anderson. Buffalo’s offense was strong in the first game, but their defense was poor, and they held Geneseo scoreless on only two serves. Sophomore Marilyn Dellwardt stood out in this 15-10 win with her exceptional spikes and — saves. The Buffalo offense fell apart in the second game. Geneseo held them to only seven serves and three ponts to even the match at one game apiece. In the crucial third game, Buffalo came back with strong defense and a consistent offense. Geneseo scored on only three of ten serves, and scored only five In a match against powerful Brockport State last Tuesday, Buffalo came out on the short end for only the second time this season. (Both Buffalo losses, to Houghton College and Brockport, came at the hands of undefeated teams.) The team played well, winning the first game, but then junior Anne Maloney sprained her ankle and things went down hill as Buffalo dropped the next three games. Although Anderson did not feel that the loss was cuased solely by Maloney’s absence, she did think it was a factor.

Goldberg. Mr. Rockefeller’s testimony before the Senate Rules Committee indicated a more central role in publication of the book than he had previously acknowledged. He denied any attempt to cover up the facts and attributed the discrepancies in his testimony to a “sketchy” The SpECTi^uM Vol. 25, No. 36 State University of New York at Buffalo Friday, 15 November 1974 memory. The former governor also said his $2.5 million in loans and gifts to public officials and aides involved no conflict of interest and were not intended to corrupt those who accepted them. In an attempt to blunt criticism of those gifts, Mr. Rockefeller said his family fortune does not blind him to the need for integrity in government. Claiming it was in the American tradition to share and help one’s neighbors, Mr. Rockefeller added, “1 do not believe the day has yet come . . . where the decencies of human relationships disqualify one for public office.” Critics of the Rockefeller appointment have said that at least some of the gifts and loans may have violated New York State law, which makes it illegal to give public officials gifts valued at more than $25 to influence or reward official conduct. Rules Committee Chairman Howard Cannon (D., Nev.) said the “nagging question” is whether the gifts placed those who received them in “psychological servitude” to the former Governor. “There is a sign on the political wall that reads, ‘no tipping,’” Sen Cannon said. Mr. Rockefeller denied he made his gifts with the purpose of influencing official conduct of the recipients. His statement that he made gifts to officials in other states to lure them to New York prompted House Majority Leader Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill (D., Mass.) to say in an interview, “Do governors of wealth buy up competent people? How do you justify . . . inducting] them to leave one place and come to your own state?” 1 Political gifts Mr. Rockefeller also revealed that from 1957 to 1974 he gave $3.26 million to Republican campaigns. These political gifts included $62,025 to former President Richard Nixon’s 1972 campaign, $200,000 to the 1968 nomination campaign of former Michigan Governor George Romney and $1 million to his own successful attempt to win the GOP presidential nomination. Family contributions to his four gubernatorial and three presidential campaigns totaled $2.85 million from brothers John, Laurence and David and sister Abby. His stepmother, the late Martha Baird Rockefeller gave an average of $1.5 million to each of the seven campaigns. Sen. Cannon pointed out the inconsistencies in Mr. Rockefeller’s statements regarding his involvement in publishing the book. Arthur Goldberg, the Old and the New by Victor Lasky. Mr. Rockefeller later apologized to Mr. Goldberg for the book’s derogatory content after taking “full responsibility” for publication , He said his brother Laurence underwrote the book for $60,000 as a business investment. Last month, a Rockefeller spokesman said Mr. Rockefeller’s lawyer and long-time aide John Wells arranged publication of the book by Arlington House and told Mr. Rockefeller about it early in the 1970 campaign. Mr. Rockefeller subsequently said he had paid no attention. In his prepared testimony Monday, he changed some details in his story. Mr. Rockefeller testified that Mr. Wells told him he was promoting the book on behalf of Mr. Lasky, whom he described as his client, and was “looking for financial backers of a corporation he was setting up for this purpose.” He said he asked his brother Laurence to help. But Laurence was too busy, he added, and “simply authorized his people to underwrite the project while other investors were being sought.” Mr. Rockefeller, calling his action hasty and ill-considered, said, “My mistake was that I should have killed this project in the beginning when Jack Wells brought it to me." Sketchy memory He said when he was questioned by the FBI after President Ford nominated him to be Vice President, his memory of the book’s origin had been “sketchy.” “I only recalled having had a brief conversation about the idea of such a book being written, but no memory of the details and no recollection of how it was financed,” he said. Mr. Rockefeller said he erred in responding to press questions before refreshing his memory. Mr. Rockefeller also withdrew his earlier agreement with Mr. Goldberg’s characterization of the book as scurrilous and possibly libelous. He said he has only now read Mr. Lasky’s book and said, “It is not anything that by any stretch of the imagination goes beyond the limits of the kind of political comment to which all of us in public life are subject from time to time.” Mr. Rockefeller invited Committee members to read the book themselves and provided a copy to each of them. “I think you will agree with me that it is the most overrated, misrepresented, innocuous political dud ever perpetrated in a partisan political campaign,” Mr. Rockefeller said. He said his $550,000 in gifts and forgiven loans to William Ronan, a former aide and chairman of the Metropolitan Transport Authority was for 18 years of friendship and service. Mr. Rockefeller said Mr. Ronan needed the money after his retirement when he was named to the non-salaried chairmanship of the Port Authority of New York and New Jfersey. New York State law forbids supplementing the income of public officials. Mr. Rockefeller explained other gifts but made no mention of his $50,000 gift to Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. He also said in answer to questions about the power of his vast wealth that “enduring political power is not for sale in the American political system. My interest in service to the American republic is greater than any interest I have in family wealth or in family position,” he explained. 8U0IANSKY No freeze Student Assembly approves the revised athletic budget by Howard Greenblatt Spectrum Staff Writer The Student Assembly voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to support Student Association (SA) president Frank Jackalone’s veto of the Student Assembly’s freeze of the intercollegiate athletic budget. By a 37-17 vote, the Assembly also approved the revised athletic budget, thereby resolving a controversy that has been raging since last spring. In a statement read to the Assembly just prior to the vote on the veto, Mr. Jackalone cited several reasons for his decision. “1 decided to retorn this action because I believed that many members who voted for the freeze were not aware of all the facts and implications involved,” he explained. Among other reasons he cited was “the precarious legal situation” in which the SA would be placed if the freeze were upheld, as well as the probability that both the administration and the athletic department would react to the freeze by cancelling all varsity events and shutting down gym and athletic facilities that are essential to intramurals. “This was not a matter of backing down in the face of administration threats,” Mr. Jackaione stressed. The freeze would have held up all funds until a breakdown of signed contracts was supplied by the athletic department and an investigation undertaken to determine the legality of budgetary changes. The freeze, Mr. Jackaione said, “would have been inconsistent with the SA position, which would have frozen the athletic budget on Monday, November 11 if the athletic department did not meet SA demands to restore budget lines.” He added that “it is a sign of confusion, not firmness,” to allow the athletic department time to correct “a blatant disregard of Student Association policy, but, on the other hand, to give the department no time to actually forward information.” The original revisions made by the Athletic Department, which resulted in the freeze, stemmed from a need to pay off a deficit from last year’s budget. To compensate for the debt, the Athletic Department notified SA of its plans to transver funds from intramurals and recreation programs rather than from intercollegiate athletics. A compromise was reached Monday in the form of a revised budget. The adjusted budgetary figures restored most of these transferred funds, as SA treasurer Sal Napoli and executive vice president Scott Salimando reported at an Executive Committee meeting Monday night. Amused confusion seemed to characterize the Assembly’s reaction to a number of points of parliamentary procedure raised nt the Student Assembly meeting. In other business, an Executive Committee resolution to support the maintenance of the four course load system at State University at Buffalo was unanimously passed by the Student Assembly. The resolution states that SA believes “it is the inalienable right of the faculty, students and administration to determine the specific academic policies at SUNY Buffalo.” The Sub-Board fiscal budgetary allocation of $623,279.32 was approved by a margin of 334, with five abstentions. A motion to allow SA representatives on Sub-Board to allocate any remaining funds to the Day Care Center was defeated by only four votes. In proposing the motion, Assembly member Arthur Lalonde speculated that $10,000 would be left over if certain other allocations are not used. By a vote of 32-1, the Assembly approved a motion proposed by Sylvia Goldschmidt, Student Activities Chairperson, to re-allocate $800 to the Day Care Center from a previous plan to print a student club handbook. The line was changed because the Assembly felt a description of student clubs is currently being given adequate publicity in The Spectrum. Moreover, the reallocation was felt to be in keeping with a previous SA resolution in support of the Day Care Center. �accommodate 3000 students, but the dorm and student activity space is designed for just 1000.

This installment discusses the po ssibilities of harnessing computer technology to give advisors more time for actual counseling. sacrificing time that could be spent counseling students.

This will be the first time the question of equating credits with contact hours will be raised in the Senate since 1968, Fac-Sen Chairman George Hochfield reported. Dr. Hochfield said that the Executive Committee had “made less progress than it hoped to," and indicated that the Committee would be examining specific alternatives to the four course load during the next few weeks. Another special sub-committee has been charged with formulating a set of proposals to be presented to the Executive Committee next Wednesday, Dr. Hockfield explained. Several members of the Committee had recommended last week either retaining the present system, adding one hour to each three hour class, or reducing three hour courses from four to three credits. Dr. Hochfield said these proposals were not voted on by the Committee because they were “sketchy.” and inappropriate for discussion. He said there was no urgency surrounding the issue, and that waiting until January will give the University community ample time to discuss the issue. Additionally, Executive Committee members will be asked to publicly state their positions, he said. Inconsistencies Dr. Hochfield suspects the Senate will not “push University to an upheaval” in this matter, indicating that he expects no major changes in academic policy by next September. He did not rule out the possibility of changes among individual Faculties, however. Discussing the resolution passed by the Student Association (SA) Executive Committee Monday, endorsing the four course load. Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) associate Dean Walter Kunz said “fiscal implications” were not the only factors underlying the evaluation of the four credit system. SA had indicated that budgetary considerations were forcing an examination of the University’s four course system. Dr. Kunz explained that the Academic Affairs Council had previously decided to examine the four course system because of “inconsistencies” between contact hours for science courses and non-science the for the system. SA president Frank Jackalone claimed that increasing faculty-student contact hours would cause a decline in admission applications and a decrease in enrollment, but Dr. Kunz asserted that there was no validity to this argument. Too indefinite Executive vice-president Somit said Albert Wednesday that applications for admissions did not increase when the University changed to the four so there is no reason to that applications would decline if the University converted back to the previous system. While Dr. Kunz acknowledged there is a possibility that more courses would mean more learning, he said “the meaning of a college degree is too indefinite” to be certain. “In some states the legislature mandates contact hours” for their state universities. Dr. Somit added, indicating that interference by Albany in State University of New York is minimal. The State Budget Division, he said, has individuals who specialize in education. course system in 1968, assume No question He also refuted claims by the Student Association that problems caused by increasing classroom time would be “enormous,” explaining that the University had previously been under the five course load. “The situation could be handled,” he said. The Executive vice-president also said that Faculties who presently have courses requiring more contact hours might have their credits assigned differently than other Faculties under a flexible system of granting credit. Constantine Yeracaris, campus representative to the United University Professionals (UUP), asserted that any change in the present four credit system that increases faculty workloads would have to be negotiated into the union’s contract, “Increasing workload without compensation is out of the question,” he said. Dr. Yeracaris also rejected the argument that this University should have a five course load simply becuase other institutions have one. “We have a fantastic amount of other work we do,” he said. Many faculty work in excess of 60 hours per week because of research, thesis guidance, committee and publishing responsibilities.

Radi Spectrum Staff Writer American Beer has been called horsepiss by its critics, but recent studies have contradicted this, saying it is not even THAT good. Apologies are extended to the horse which supplies the pure, unadulterated product our beer is another story. Fifty-nine chemicals and additives are used by American brewers to put frills on their product for maximum saleability, according to a little-publicized — study. Allowed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), these chemicals produce the features prized by most beer consumers the good head, the golden which in reality color, the sparkling translucence of Madison Avenue’s imagination are all outgrowths and a chemist’s devices. The five basic ingredients of beer water, malt, are still there, but malt adjuncts, hops, and yeast so is cthylenediaminetetraacetic acid, which prevents the beer from gushing out when opened. The clear look of beer is also the handiwork of chemists and advertising wizards, who have decided that cloudy beer is not popular beer; As a remedy, they added some proteases and filtered it through diatomacious earth. The golden color of American beer is less a result of natural brewing techniques that of caramel, an artificial additive. The rich head, another popular feature, one the brewmaster’s pride, is now made with a squirt of propylene glycol algitate or a drop of gum arabic. — - - — ‘harmless’ nature makes such printing a needless exercise in bad publicity. One of these “harmless” additives, cobalt sulfate, once added to produce a long-lasting head, has been linked to the deaths of 40 people, according to a study by the Center for Science on the Public Interest. The long-lasting head was apparently not sufficient compensation for the compound’s lethal effects, however, and the FDA outlawed it in 1964. The myth of purity in north-of-the-border brews was exploded by a Canadian chemist, who provided similar information about imports which are readily accessible in the Buffalo area. (He perferred, for obvious reasons, that neither his nor his company’s names be printed.) Origins Artificial additives were first introduced into the brewing process at the turn of the century, to eliminate the beer’s natural cloudiness, he said. Other special effects were then introduced to produce a more saleable produce, and today 56 chemicals are allowed in Canadian and 59 in American beers. He indicated that the only pure beer produced is brewed in Germany, where the “Reinhietsgebot” or Purity Law prohibits chemical additives. He too claimed that most additives are innocuous in “normal” doses, claiming, “If there is one beverage that is harmless and pure, it is beer.” He compared it favorably with soft drinks and wines, in which the FDA tolerates a higher amount of sulfur, for example. Chemicals Effects of copper residues in beer are now being Other chemicals allowed in American beer in the Canadian's laboratory. Copper is studies acid, include adipic acid, methyl maltol, malic absorbed from kettles and pipes by yeast and is not octanal, sodium ascorbate, potassium metabisulfite, totally removed from the beer in the yeast grapefruit oil, lemon oil, tartaric acid, and on and on extraction process before bottling. and on.

This would be far more constructive.” Marijuana bill vetoed —California Governor Ronald Reagan has vetoed a marijuana bill that would have lessened considerably the state’s pot penalties. The proposed pot bill, as approved by the State Assembly and Senate, would have made possession of small amounts of marijuana a misdemeanor. At present, judges in California are permitted to give felony sentences to first-time pot offenders. Reagan, in vetoing the bill, said that easing the pot laws would encourage “widespread marijuana abuse.” California currently has one of the three toughest marijuana laws in the United States. No rolling -A city councilman in Madison Heights, Mi., has introduced a bill that outlaws the selling of cigarette rolling papers to minors. Councilman Loren King’s proposal requires anyone purchasing rolling papers to first sign a city logbook giving his or her name and address. King says he hit upon his idea after watching some young people "who were obviously high on something” purchase rolling papers in a store. He explains: “I was pretty sure they hadn’t bought them to roll tobacco,” A preliminary vote by the Madison Heights Council indicates that members support the new ordinance by a four to three margin. If a second and final reading is approved, the law will become effective ten days later. Once the law is enacted, any store owner who sells “zig zags” to or fails to log the names of adults purchasing the papers minors is subject to a fine and a 90-day stint in jail. - - > ; �Giant step backward in Buffalo’s broadcasting by Don Eisenmann Contributing Editor Buffalo radio, well known for its lack of creativity and imaginative programming, took what many consider another giant step backward in October when WPHD became WYSL-FM and began simulcasting with the AM station. The WYSL-FM and AM operation was purchased early this spring by Bob Howard, a Washington, D.C. broadcaster. Mr. Howard immediately applied to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) for permission to change the call letters to WYSL-FM for what he termed “obvious -purposes,” and began simulcasting 75 hours a week. The station now broadcasts a “contemporary sound” of top 40 records from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily and a progressive sound similar to the old WPHD format from 7 to 11. On weekends and during the middle of the night, each station broadcasts separately. Mr. Howard insists that the changes he instituted were not economic, although 23 persons have left the payroll since September 1. The new format, he claims, is “an acceptable way to serve Buffalo on AM and FM with a program of contemporary and progressive sound.” While admitting that he has received a tremendous amount of mail from people upset over the change in format, Mr. Howard said he also has a lot of support. Acceptance “1 feel pleased with the acceptance of both sounds,” Mr. Howard said. “A lot of people are devoted to the music and I sincerely respect them. But we can’t please everybody.” The format was not changed “precipitously,” he said, but because he felt it was the best way to satisfy everyone. “We wanted to give people exposure on both AM and FM to progressive sound,” Mr. Howard explained. Mr. Howard also eliminated the WYSL news department to make way for what he calls “a unique concept and presentation of hard news.” He has instituted service announcements, which include school lunch menus, job openings and “sound-off” feature. The three newspersons dropped from the station were angered over the abruptness of their departure. “He assured us there would be no major changes in any department,” said Freda Van Cleef, one of the newspersons fired from WYSL. “What took years to build took only three hours to destroy,” Ms. Van Cleff emphasized. Former news director L.B. Lyon indicated that disc jockeys are now reading news. “Some of them have no training in writing news or in good broadcast journalism techniques. “This is an insult to broadcast journalists, as well as an insult to the intelligence of the people in the Buffalo area,” Mr. Lyon asserted. Communicators Mr. Howard maintained, however, that more people are involved in writing and gathering news than ever before. The air personalities report the news simply because they are “communicators,” but they do not write their own copy 95 percent of the time, he said. Mr. Howard did admit that the news is more local in content as well as shorter, “more and more fluid. Basically, we’re a music radio station, not an all news station,” Mr. Howard condeded. Paul Edwards, a student at this University, tried unsuccessfully to set up a meeting between Mr. Howard and former WPHD listeners who were concerned about km ® WVSL urging them not to advertise on the station. “Howard has no concern for the Buffalo listening audience or to the huge WPHD following that the station once had,” Mr. Edwards stressed. “He had over 50 percent the ages of the listening of 18 and 34 and he’s giving it all away to make it like six or sdven other stations in Buffalo.” / Jim Santella, a former disc-jockey for WPHD, quit when Mr. Howard offered him a part-time job as an announcer.

Mr. Santella feels that the only reason for changing the station was “to make more money. If money was not the reason, why did he buy it in the first place. Howard doesn’t know anything about Buffalo or progressive radio,” he said. The only way Mr. Howard could be forced to change the station’s format is if considerable economic and legal pressure were brought against him, he explained. Radio stations are run for the public interest, and “the tendency is for the FCC to be more receptive to community pressures.” A great many listeners are signing petitions trying to get the station restored. “PHD provided special programming for a special audience instead of the usual top 40. Hundreds of people have spent thousands of dollars on stereo equipment to pursue a interest in progressive music and now all they can get is crap,” said one irrate listener, who pledged to boycott the station’s sponsors until PHD is restored. vlw WBEN-FM * involved with WPHD since its conception in 1969, Mr. Santella said that watching the station change was “like a child getting killed because WPHD never got a chance to grow up.” Mr. Santella, who is presently the night DJ at WEBR, said that Mr. Howard wanted to retain him on weekends only because “the audience and the sponsors were satisfied with my work, and only wanted to use me for my name.” WPHD was “a throwback to what big stations used to be able to do, establish a sense of community among its listeners,” he added. “People believed in it, and people listened to it.” the station. Although Mr. Howard had previously stated, “I’ll act on the will of the people,” Mr. Edwards quoted him as saying on the phone, “Leave me alone. You’re barking up the wrong tree. I don’t care if you’ve got 50,000 people out there,” before he abruptly hung up. Mr. Howard declined to comment on the incident, but said he had tried to be as responsive as possible. But Mr. Edwards said that because Mr. Howard has been unresponsive, he would look into the possibility of taking the matter before the FCC and sending petitions to sponsors 511 Main St. and All Purchase Radio Stores Office President Ford Tuesday withdrew his nomination of Andrew E. Gibson to succeed John Sawhill as Federal Energy Administrator. The withdrawl of the nomination had been expected ever since the disclosure of a severance contract Mr. Gibson holds with the Inter-state Oil Transport Co. of Philadelphia. The contract calls for Interstate to pay Mr. Gibson $88,000 a year for the next ten years. This amount is regarded as unusually high for someone who served only 16 months with the firm. Mr. Gibson met Monday with the President and was persuaded to resign the nomination because of a potential conflict of interest, thus saving the White House the embarrassment of having him interrogated by a Senate sub-committee, and possibly being rejected by the Senate. Ron Nessen, White House press secretary, announced that “the matter was handled imperfectly,” and that Donald Rumsfeld, White House chief of staff, “volunteered to take the blame.” Mr. Gibson had maintained that his contract with Interstate was, words, “an ironclad one,” and that no matter what he did while his in he was Administrator it could not alter his contract to any degree. He also defended himself in his letter of resignation to the President by saying that his severance contract “would not inhibit the discharge of my responsibilities.” President Ford accepted the resignation with his “deepest regrets,” but said he was doing so only because he wanted to fill the vacated position as promptly as possible.

Although the federal government assumes the loss, the bill ultimately lands on the taxpayer’s doorstep. That bill, says the GAO, could be as high as a half billion dollars. And the yearly default rate shows a steady increase. Senator Claiborne Pell (D-R.I.) recently reported that the rate of defaults is expected to climb from last year’s 14 percent to more than 18 percent and level off at 24.3 percent. Why? With the cost of a college degree almost doubling over the last ten years, more and more students have found borrowing necessary. But as they leave school, they face an increasingly restricted job market and a tight money market. — No jobs “We get a lot of letters requesting deferments because of unemployment,” said E.A. Holcomb, head of Northern Illinois University’s Accounts Receivable Office. He noted that a large number of the defaulters are dropouts who have poor job prospects. Many students who do graduate have faced the reality of their depleted funds and uncertain earning power by declaring bankruptcy upon receiving their diplomas. Almost 2,500 students filed for bankruptcy during 1974, leaving unpaid $3 million in loans. Those who simply stop payments on loans ruin their credit rating. The ranks of the defaulters have swollen for yet another reason. In alarming numbers profit-seeking schools which have exploited federally-insured student loans in recruiting have folded. When they close, they leave thousands of angry students halfway through a program, unable to find work and determined not to pay back loans for an incomplete education. The GAO has estimated that students at these proprietary schools will make up 58 percent of the defaults on currently outstanding federally-insured loans. Suspension U.S. Education Commissioner Terrel H. Bell called the figure “shocking” and promised that new regulations- would provide for closer monitoring of these institutions and for their suspension if it were necessary. Senator Pell added that many proprietary schools give their admissions officers “commissions to enroll students” but often don’t explain loan obligations to students. Such institutions, he suggested, should be dropped from the loan program. Legislators and educators have been hard at work investigating other causes and effects of loan defaulting. “We now have data to detect where abuses are taking place,” said Commissioner Bell. Steps have been taken, he continued, that should reduce the rate to 12 percent. They include: —Upgrading the section responsible for the loan program to a branch of the Office of Education called the Office of Guaranteed Student Loans (OGSL). -Enlarging the enforcement staff (from only three in 1972 to more than 90), which will try to collect defaulted loans and work with participating banks to improve collections. — —Preparing new, tough regulations for banks and schools involved in the program. —Warning participating banks that they will be removed from the program if they misrepresent applicants in order to qualify for loans or if they inadeuqately screen the borrowers. High tuition While legislators and education officials strengthen their collection efforts and devise preventative regulations to cut defaulting, colleges and universities have been attacking the root of the problem: high tuition. While their motive in cutting tuition is generally to increase enrollment, the effect has been to cut or reduce loans and, in turn, defaults. Four of the five units in Vermont’s state college system have reduced their tuition by $100 for in-state residents this fall. The fifth unit of the system, the Community College of Vermont, has begun a voluntary payment plan. The college has set the fee per course at $30 but the student decides how much of that he can pay. Since the pay-what-you-can program began last year, college officials have reported they’ve received $75,000 in voluntary payments, compared with $100,000 if the school had collected a fixed fee. They estimated it would have cost $40,000 to collect $100,000, “so maybe we’re $15,000 ahead.” Other schools have held the line on their current tuition. On the 72 campuses of the State University of New York tuition has not risen, this year. Tuition at Ohio state schools has been “frozen” for the next two years by the state legislature. Three years Some schools have devised other plans to hold down the cost of a degree and aid repayment of loans. One of these plans, more and more widely used, allows a student to finish undergraduate programs in three instead of the traditional four at a 25 percent saving in time and money. years Credits can also be earned more quickly at many colleges through work experience and special examinations. Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology have established programs under which they propose to use their own funds to help borrowers in the early working years when income is relatively low. The amounts financed by the university in this way become uninsured notes which can be paid off as the income rises. Other plans have reached the talking stage. President Kingman Brewster, Jr. of Yale University has proposed a system of federal credits for college living costs which students would repay out of future income as part of their income tax bills. Senator Abraham Ribcoff (D-Conn.) has been pushing a bill that would provide students and parents a tax credit of up to $325 on the first $1500 they pay for tuition, fees, books and supplies again, to reduce loans and defaults. But all these new plans for financing education have yet to influence the high default rates. Because the Office of Education has switched to a new projection model it can’t determine exactly how much the proportion of student defaulters has risen over the past few years. “All we know,” said Kenneth A. Kohl, the associate Commissioner of Education, “is that the proportion of student defaulters is going up.” — Page six The Spectrum Friday, 15 November 1974 . . willingness to help the recycling committee.

People various drinkers was found among males, 30 to 50. Recent trends, however, indicate a marked increase in cases of alcoholism among women, teenagers and young adults as well. Most doctors estimate, in fast, that the ratio of male to female problem drinkers is now even, a phenomenon that is becoming more apparent as women join the work force in larger numbers. Until very recently, women drinkers had been “protected” by the home and so the alcoholic woman, known as the “hidden alcoholic,” was- less visible than counterpart. her male A housewife and mother, she would see her husband and children off each day and spends most of her day alone, her drinking going undetected until it became a serious problem. now categorizes alcoholism as a disease rather than a crime.

In its early stages, the drinker may experience an easing of tensions while he becomes increasingly both physically and dependent psychologically on alcohol.

Last year, Americans spent over $21 billion for alcoholic beverages. One-third of all arrests each year are for public intoxication, and at least half of the 50,000 Americans killed each year in traffic accidents die at the hands of drivers who drink. In addition, more than half a million disabling injuries were suffered last year in automobile accidents involving problem drinkers.

The Spectrum Page seven . �Day Care statement No confirmation Confirming Nelson Rockefeller as Vice President — or combining the financial power of the nation's wealthiest family with the political authority of the Executive branch of government would only give large corporations a greater stranglehold on the nation's economic and political life. How can a man whose private wealth is greater than that of entire countries be expected to work toward establishing a more equitable tax system or speak out against the monopolies that have already reaped enormous profits from the energy crisis? — Mr. Rockefeller's $2.5 million in loans and gifts to public officials are a good example of how one individual can misuse his wealth to exert a powerful influence over many areas of public policy. As Senator Howard Cannon of the Senate Rules Committee points out, the gifts may well have placed those who received them in "psychological servitude" to the former governor. In the most publicized display of this phenomenon, William Ronan, a long-time Rockefeller associate who is chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, received a "gift" of $555,000 from the former governor, even though he already was the third highest paid public official in the country. It is certainly no coincidence that the Port Authority that Ronan heads is a major public agency governing roads, bridges and tunnels, and among other things, issues public bonds on which the Rockefeller family bank might be a bidder. Of equal concern is Mr. Rockefeller's role and his changing recollections of the financing of a derogatory book about Arthur Goldberg, his Democratic opponent for Governor in 1970. In contrast to his previous assertion before the Rules Committee that he had turned the other way when long-time aide John Wells informed him of arrangements to publish the book, Mr. Rockefeller testified Monday that he had specifically asked his brother to help find backers for the book. When Mr. Rockefeller attributed his shift in testimony to a "sketchy” memory, he came off sounding a lot like John N. Mitchell, H.R. Haldeman, and John three supposedly intelligent men who also Erlichman displayed poor memories in their statements before the Senate Watergate Committee. Aside from these considerations, Mr. Rockefeller’s twisted conception of justice will only have a broader effect if he becomes Vice President. When humiliating conditions at the Attica "correctional facility" gave inmates there no recourse but to publicize the atrocities of prison life, Mr. Rockefeller could not bring himself to co to Attica and speak with them. And because he interpreted a spontaneous demonstration as the greatest threat to law and order of the last century and ordered the prison recaptured at any cost, — 43 men died. For these and other reasons, naming Nelson Rockefeller Vice President will only reinforce the economic, political and moral injustices which this country would be better off exorcising, The Spectrum Friday, 15 November 1974 Vol. 25, No. 36 Editor-in-Chief — Larry Kraftowitz Managing Editor Amy Dunkin Managing Editor Michael O'Neill Advertising Manager Gerry McKeen Business Manager Neil Collins - — — — Jay Boyar Randi Schnur Ronnie Selk Asst.

Editor's note: The following statement was submitted by the Day Care Center Steering Committee. The Day Care Center is still open and providing day care to the campus, but our struggle for survival is by no means over. Although the University Administration has finally managed to come up with the short-term funds necessary to pay our staff for this semester, it is oh the condition that we meet to negotiate about their long-term plans for incorporating the Center into an academic program which is of use to the University. Their idea is to establish a Center that will serve the academic interests of departments. This is not our idea of a Center. We want a Center to meet the needs of low-income and working people with children, especially women and minorities, so they can have the opportunity to attend school and/or work. We feel providing low-cost quality child care is a crucial part of any institution’s Affirmative Action Program. Therefore, we want an adequately funded Day Care Center which is parent-controlled to insure that the Center meets the needs of parents and children. � From the discussions we’ve already had with the Administration, it is clear that the central issue is that of parent-control. We feel it is parent-control; the important to maintain University Administration refuses to agree to this principle. As in other areas of the University (most notably the Colleges), the University Administration is trying to abolish what little control we have over organizations vital to our lives. We are resisting this and will continue to insist upon parent-control as a part of any plan But seriously . . for the future of the Center. However, we have been told that if we, as a Center, cannot reach agreement with the Administration’s proposal by January 1975, the Center will be closed. The question we have to ask at this point is how can we maintain the kind of Center we feel best serves the needs of low-income and working people on this campus? The answer lies in mass campus support, as we learned in September and October. In September the University Administration told us that they could do nothing; their hands there was no money for the Center, were tied Then, after several weeks of active campus campaigning and a series of increasingly militant demonstrations at Hayes Hall, the University came up with short-term funds and a long-term proposal. What made them change their attitude from September to October? Obviously, when it was evident to the Administration that there was active campus-wide support for day care as a service, they had to recognize the demand and meet it. But the demand has not been fully met yet. We are still struggling for a long-term commitment from the University Administration to adequately fund a parent-controlled day care center and to expand the services for MFC - students. These demands will only be met if we continue to demonstrate to the University Administration that there is mass campus support for day care as a service. Join us in our struggle. Support our demands for long-term funding from the Administration, parent-control and expansion for MFC students. Day care is a right, not a privilege.

An hour to showtime, you put your shoes on, meet your friends, make last minute preparations for toking up when you get there, maybe pick up a bottle of something, and head down to the theater. The lights flash past because you're stoned already, the sound of the motor, a little small talk, fantasies of the night ahead all the people, seats, stage, colored lights, amps, mikes, the big PA spotlights, noise, energy. Great expectations. Produce your ticket, it gets ripped in half you can't go back, straight ahead.

"And now, a warm welcome for And now it begins. Now it happens. There it is. It is great. It is incredible. It is the fulfillment of a dream. It is the realization of the fantasy of everyman.

Then, very suddenly, it becomes real. You begin to notice things, think about things.. You count the musicians, look at the equipment, watch their faces, their eyes, look for communications. You become aware that you are sitting in a seat, watching a concert, listening to music. You think about past albums, songs you'd like to hear, other concerts, other musicians. You feel a little hungry, a little uncomfortable, hot, crowded, tired. Thirsty too. And so if you're smart, you light up and start all over again and have a great time. Now Robin Trower has been associated with Jimi the Great recently; something about carrying on that Great tradition but with his own style. Sure enough, there were those big Marshall mothers, four of them with six horns each, red lights gleaming, hinting at the monstrosity within. And sure enough, he turned them up all the way and sent beautiful distorted thunderbolts of pure volume through my skull without pain, and it was a universe in itself, but it was like empty space call it the focus of glazed-eye lobotomy, with no such heavenly bodies as Jimi the Great used to conjure. The sound was there, but it's like having the best guitar and not being able to play it. It looks good, but there's more to it than that. — No soap radio Maybe he didn't really get warmed up last night. Or maybe he was bummed out by the fucking radio that his amps kept picking up. It came out so loud that he couldn't do any quiet songs, and at one point he even shouted in frustration, "How can I play guitar!" He did his best to forget about it and played loud rockers all night. He got cooking about halfway through the set, (his drummer was really fine) but he took very few leads, mostly doing rhythm behind the vocals of his bass player, and short four-bar fills between sections, that sort of stuff. It was good, solid, but not impressive. And it was only about a half hour long. Oh yes he was called back for an encore, which was his best, I guess he was loose by then, and went off with a flourish. It took a long time to set up for Dave Mason, a real long time, but — —continued on page 10— �gm A Swiss mime theater with an array ofmisfits A mis vecinos: I was trying to write to you the other day, but not having done very much of anything lately, I decided to wait with this letter until I had gone to see this show called Mummenschanz.

He did all sorts of songs, some of his, some of others, even "Pearly Queen." Dave Mason s a crowd pleaser, and knows the trade well. He picked all the songs that everyone wanted to hear so that when the yelling started "Headhunter!" "World in Changes" "Peelin' All Rightl" he was ready. It was a professional act, and it was obvious that it was for us, the audience. What a good feeling, to be taken into consideration. Something else; The stage volume was low and clear, as opposed to the usual sound bombardment. Instead of turning up, the amps were miked through the PA, making up the power difference. That made everything a lot nicer to listen to. He's really pretty mellow, sort of a down home full rich rock sound, warm and beautiful, with perfect taste. It sounded pretty much like Alone Together, with the only difference being the 1974 modernization transition to one two THREE four/ one two THREE four/ one two THREE four/ funky beat, Cadillac style.

Instead they used their vibratto bars. Guitarists take note. As the show got close to the end, Dave Mason mentioned (suggested) that it would be nice if people got up from their seats and moved a little. This resulted in everyone in the back coming up to the front. Dave quickly explained that this wasn't what he meant, so everyone went back to their seats, and didn't get up until they gave He'd just finished with the big number him a standing ovation Me At You," a real long version, with patient beauty "Look At Look at the beginning of the second (slow) part of the song, the instrumental part.

There he was; and there he remained. He sang and smiled, he moved with grace and ease, leaned back and sang for the and off. So I took no chances this time and brought my mother along.

Hey now, what's the difference between a basketball game and the people that come to watch it? In basketball, one team usually wins.

His feet — instead. We went to Memorial Auditorium to see David Bowie and got Bobby Rydell instead. We went to Memorial Auditorium to see David Bowie and got Bobby Rydell instead. Camera power My mother told me, but not in those words. The first thing she said was that in ten places in the contract, Bowie specified that absolutely no cameras were to be allowed in. Groovy. But the contract made no provisions for the people escorting the cameras. As I arrived, police and others were scanning for cameras, and threw them all out. I flashed on the civil rights movement and what it must have been like when blacks were not allowed in certain places. I must confess. Secretly, I have been a camera for a few years. Not only that, but some of my best friends are cameras. That’s funny, because they don't look like cameras. Anyway, to make a long story short, because I was with my mother, and they could relate to her better than all the punks, they let us in. By this time the first set was half over. Bowie's warm up act was performed by his back up band. As we walked in they were doing "Moody's Mood For Love." I kid you not. I asked the people in the area who they were, and most of’ them didn't give a shit, but some of them thought they were Godspell, and judging by the looks and acts of them, I almost believed it. An integrated chorus of singers with limited swaying action, a typical big stage TV band with electric instruments and saxophone Street for Euthanasia. — Sesame Casbah The material was, to say the least, traditional. My mother recognized all the songs, but no one else did. Have you ever been to a country fair? Where there’s thousands of people moving in every direction like a swarm of kinetic energy, really into moving around with their eyes on the ground and everywhere? That was the scene on the floor of the arena. Never have I seen such indifference to the stage. It was like an Arab street market, and it was really noisy, too. Be never left the stage. warned; There was no organized seating back of twenty roWs, no matter what your ticket says. Except for the people whose seats we were sitting in. "You know, I believe in being brotherly and all that, but I travelled two hundred miles to see this concert—" I really wanted to punch him out but I believe in being brotherly and all that too, so I got up and let him have his seat. I sat on the floor for a while, but there was too much bass down there, so I stood up the rest of the night. What's the ugliest Part of your body? What's the ugliest Part of your body?

Even the drug amnesiacs, instead of soaring through space, kept falling on the floor. I half expected a real life rock 'n roll suicide but before it could happen Bowie sang it and brought everybody back to life. "Suffragette City" too. And all those other songs he does, which were hard to differentiate because the sound wasn’t coming through too well. They tried to do it in quad, with PA's in the back corners, but they didn't account for the stage amps and consequently it was not in sync. That can get a little tbugh to handle, but that's nothing new. In fact there was nothing new all night. Sure, it was my fault for having such high expectations, but after that last tour he did, coming down from the sky on a big hand and all that, how should I know he was just buying time on this tour? I suppose he'll get his next wind soon, maybe the next tour, and then he'll be ready to answer the big question: What will Bowie do next? But until then folks, take it light and don't jump to any memorials. —Mr. Honesty — yeah Syntho-star Then Bobby Rydell came on. Everyone cheered.

Most notable of these eight was the very slow and beautiful “Harbor Me," and "Mournful Melodies," a song about "dirty rotten guitar players." Steve Winwood's "Can't Find My Way Home," as done in Folia's Joni Mitchell style is also worthy of some praise. If you feel like having a good time on some Monday night, you could catch Polla at the Bona Vista on Hertel Ave. No ride During Folia's set some friends of mine slipped away to try and invite John and the band down to the Central Park Grill after the show for the Sunday night "sit in." When they returned, they informed me that they had spoken to Jerry McKuen, the slide guitar player in Sebastian's band. Jerry liked the idea of doing some jamming that night, but there was one obstacle in his way no ride. This is where I came in. I agreed to drive and was told that we would meet him back stage after the concert. Great! After the intermission, the student Master of Ceremonies took to the stage to inform the crowd that there was no smoking and to give a warm welcome to John Sebastian. Dressed in orange pants, a blue t-shirt, and white shoes (I found out later that he was wearing pink socks), Sebastian plugged in his guitar, thanked the audience for such nice applause, then jumped into a rockin' version of "Lovin' — You." John is very enthusiastic about the band he's got now and right from the very beginning he was letting them cook. The band, which was used on his recently released Tarzana Kid album, consists of Jerry McKuen, Ron Koss on lead guitar, Kelly Shanahan on drums, and Kenny Altman on bass. Ah, the fifties His second number, "You're A Big Boy Now," off Sebastion's first solo Ip, was a bit of a disappointment to me. I had always pictured that particular song being done by Sebastian alone, rather than with electric backing. After doing a cut off his jumping, he sat us down with "a sad but nice song about a place where we all spend some time at one time or another" Jimmy Cliff's "Sitting in Limbo." The band then went through "Black Satin Kid," "Dixie Chicken," "She's A Lady" (the about raining daisies drawing oohs and ahs from the last line hand and saw John Sebastian, changing the strings on his guitar, members of his band, changing empty bottles of beer for full ones, and my friend somehow Ronni, who had managed to get in and inform them that a reporter was outside in the hall. in crowd), "Face of Appalachia" and Lonnie Johnson's "Sportin' Life" before breaking into an Together three years We all just hung out for about 20 minutes before I was able to instrumental Where talk to John alone.

The band did a rocking “Lashes Larue" off The Four of Us Ip, before getting into a string oldies from John's Lovin' Spoonful days. Sebastian got the crowd on its feet with "Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind." He then did another of favorite, “Daydream," before ending with "Summer in the City." "Well, as of late, we've just released the Tarzana Kid album and we should be heading back into a recording schedule this fall." He added that the next album will be produced by Eric Jacobson, Backstage The first encore brought John back, harp in hand, to do "You Didn't Have To Be So Nice," and my personal favorite, "Do You Believe In Magic." When it became apparent that the audience would once again refuse to leave, John came out once again and acoustically did "Darlin' Be Home Soon." Bowing off slowly, he thanked Canisius, and left the stage for the last time. While the crowd was leaving, my friends and I walked over to the backstage entrance where we immediately ran into some hassles about getting in. Finally, our old friend Jerry came out and gave the guard the word, and we all went struttin' through. So there I was, waiting outside of John Sebastian's dressing room for some of the guys in his band when somebody pokes his nose out the door and asks "Who's the guy that's writin' the article?

Over in Trailer seven. College F is into that trip, and is living proof of its validity. It is real and it can work. Chick Corea and Return To Forever are the musical pied pipers of an enriching perspective on life. (Signet, $1.25) The fourth of the highly successful New Dimensions series has just been released. Robert Silverberg, one of science fiction's most prolific writers, edits the series, which is dedicated to presenting the most striking and original science fiction of our tifhe. He manages brilliantly, once Only two originals Of the original Return To Forever band, only Chick and Stanley Clarke remain, Stanley also being into scientology. He is a bass player, has been professional for about five years, and is in his early twenties. He is a wonder child, as you will see tonight. Also in the current band is drummer Lenny White, who is also a wonder child. He and Stanley started out together as the rhythm section of Joe Henderson's band. Call them the Wonder Brothers. The remaining member of the group is guitarist Al DiMeola. After Bill Connors left the group, there was someone else on guitar whose name escapes me. Five days before the group's appearance in Carnegie Hall during the Newport Festival this summer, he left, leaving an empty guitar. Al DiMeola was discovered on an old audition tape that had been sitting around for awhile in someone's office. Yes, there is a Horatio Alger. During those five days he cut an album and appeared onstage at Carnegie Hall with Return To Forever. That concert was incredible, by the way. In the middle of the show everyone walked offstage, and Stanley walked on alone with a stand-up bass and played solo. again Richard Lupoff, in "After the Dreamtime," continues the saga of the world he created in his novella "With the Bentfin Boomer Boys on Little Old New Alabama" which appeared in Harlan Ellison's Again, Dangetous Visions. The story in New Dimensions is written from a different perspective, drawing heavily on poetry and resembling the work of Poul Anderson. Here, racial prejudice is the theme, for the "Sky Heroes" are descended from Australian Aborigines. Because of the concentration of melanin pigment in their skins they can fly a membrane ship without suits, working on a natural deck reminiscent of the great clipper ships. The whites are forced to remain within closed rooms as protection from radiation and the Sky Heroes refer to them as "meat" cargo. So what's the music like? Well, here goes. It's like rock, with electric instruments and all, and a funky bottom, but there is a lot of soloing and interplay, many changes, some complex, some simple. It is never raunchy or raucous. No matter how heavy it gets, it seems light at the same time. No matter how driving it gets, it always seems pretty. There are touches of other kinds of music in it, like Miles and Mahavishnu, and there are distant places in it too, like Mexico or Spain white man has seen and dies because of it. Remarkably, this is Elwood's first SF story, although it is hindered by his attempts at experimental writing, and the unrelated paragraphs and unfinished there must be a sentences are frustrating. However "however" if the cautious Silverberg has published it That's the best I can do. The best you can do is see for yourself. And if that's not incentive enough, then get this: Keith Jarrett will be opening with a solo performance. "Who is Keith Jarrett?" I hear you saying. He is a pianist, on the verge of being widely reputed as a great genius of our time. He has played in many groups previously, and formed groups of his own, but it is as a solo performer that he is unbelievable. There is a three record set on ECM called Solo-Concerts, which must be heard, please. For six sides (two hours), he plays, beginning as with a seed, then makes it sprout, grow, develop branches and flowers, all the time strengthening the stem, all as one unified whole, one man's self-exposure. Building all the while, round in cycles, memories and brainstorms, the growth of ideas, and a period at the end, or maybe just a series of dots, question marks, commas, or exclamation points. So please, please, try to come tonight and decide for yourself whether this is for you. I believe it is, as do Jeff, Midge, UUAB, Charlie, Paul, Gene, and of course.

Meyer Levin was an American writing in a presumably free country, one in which people thrive on truth, and yet he faced the continued censorship of one of his greatest works, something which has haunted him for over twenty years. Ellicott - FREE ADMISSION FREE BEER Mixed Drinks • Live Music by SHEFFIELD Sponsored by Student Activities Fees UUAB Fine Arts Film Comm, proudly presents The Obsession was written to expose the repeated suppression of the author's dramatization of The Diary of Anne Frank. Written in the early fifties, The Diary was designed to acquaint the public with the young girl's struggle as a Jew in Nazi Germany. Upon the work's Friday, Nov. 15 IF completion, it was found by critics to be unstageworthy, largely they claimed Meyer Levin was "no dramatist." Another version was subsequently written by colleages of Levin's using some of his original scenes. The only difference between the two was that the latter seemed to be "less Jewish" in nature. because Throughout the years, Levin's version of the play was performed from time to time, underground and illegally. Its reception was fantastic. Audiences were repeatedly impressed by the amount of emotion that came through. They felt they could honestly relate to the girl's plight. And it was because of the "Jewishness" of the play that the audiences related so well. Although Levin knew there was a kind of conspiracy against him (Anne's father had later admitted that the play was banned only because of its Jewish nature), he was still concerned that he seemed, to others as well as to himself, to be obsessed. True, all of his works after that time appeared to receive low ratings from the critics, but he wondered whether or not he was blowing things out of proportion. Maybe Levin just could not admit to the existence of such a conspiracy. Because he constantly probed his own mind for the answers, he consulted several analysts during the period. They tended to support him and help him in his quest for some sort of justice while, to some of his colleagues, he appeared to be a kind of fanatic. The Obsession was written in a very honest and deeply emotional manner. The reader cannot help but be swept up in the author's cause. This is partially because of the dramatic, novelistic style in which the book was written and partially because of Levin's great determination. In the wake of Solzhenitsyn's great popularity and public admiration, it is interesting to find someone in our midst who is due some of the same kind of credit. It is also interesting to compare the struggles of the two men. Both are fighting men, interested in preserving man's basic rights. They are courageous and willing to stand up against cultural dictatorship and literary suppression. —Jane Bacon Prodigal Sun Directed by Linday Anderson starring Malcolm McDowell & Christine Noonan Sat. & Sun.

Jeweler Staff What can you say about a movie that is just plain bad? Not even an inspired clunker, like Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter, but something with no redeeming qualities whatever? After I saw The Crazy World of Julius Vrooder, I felt like the prize ass of the century for ever having believed that it could have been worthwhile at all. The “plot" hinges on Vietnam vet Julius Vrooder (Timothy Bottoms) having been declared "psychiatrically impaired." He is thus not responsible for his actions, you see, and can get away with doing various crazy things, though he's really as sane as you or I. Julius' fakery, however, is so obvious that it's impossible to believe that anyone could ever have certified him insane. It just does not work. The basic premise of the film is completely invalid. The establishment ws. the brat The loyalties of the characters are easily established: anyone who ever tries to prevent Vrooder from doing anything he damn pleases is either pitiful, pompous, or just plain nasty. Vrooder is meant, all too obviously, to come off as the successful challenger of a 'horde of modern icons parental authority, the police, the doctor who runs the VA hospital where he's being treated, even the utility companies (Vrooder has built a bunker in a freeway park complete with free electricity, water, and telephone service).

Friday, 15 November 1974 Prodigal Sun �'Gold': a tragedy in time confused by Dean Billanti Spectrum Arts Staff Gold opens with a ritual native tirbal dance, which evokes the feeling of age-old customs. The film then switches to a sequence of the contrast is established and the tone modern minig procedures set. The plot concerning a mining disaster and the people inside is inconsequential. What is the corporate structure involved important, however, is the depth and resonance that Peter Hunt's direction has given the film. The relationship between Gold and Nicholas Roeg's recent Don't Look Now is interesting. Don't Look Now deals with a personal tragedy in which people are still fighting a battle against but its ending signals an acceptance of death and unknown forces a world in decline. Gold cannot find time to deal with such a “small" tragedy and so picks a massive one instead, and although it makes the pretense of a happy ending, the ending is perfunctory. Hunt's film takes place in a modern world after the battle has been fought and lost. The characters seem to be entombed in glass, and the film's images reinforce this motif: the heroine is seen on a phone behind an airport window, as a departing plane is reflected in the glass (its nose heading for her). Again, two people are seen through a window, while the heroine is reflected, small and insignificant, in a corner of the film's frame: a statue seems to be aiming its upraised gun at a glass building; lovers are dissolved into these buildings. — — — — 'O Lucky Man!* A symbolic concept oflife O Lucky Man! may well be Malcolm McDowell's symbolic concept of his life. It is said that McDowell once did a stint as a salesman; a capitalist doggedly pursuing teaches the game to Travis, who doesn't discover the truth until he is sentenced to a five-year stay in a London prison success. Considering the movie, it is very plausible. The film is in constant flux. It changes rapidly from one encounter to the next, and, although it is confusing at first, the moods and the methods soon mesh like clockwork. McDowell (as Michael Travis) experiences heaven and hell, sin and purity, fantasy and reality. He's the Billy Pilgrim of the modern set; he tries to conform to and understand this existential world that fluctuates beyond his naive comprehension. The voice of sanity in the film, a voice that is dry and tempered, belongs to Alan Price. Price's lyrics are truth; his music relieves the tension of suspense. Together they encourage the feeling that the audience, too, is on some vague magic carpet ride, with modern technology providing the current and the direction. Fortunate flim-flammers The lucky men, the men who succeed, are the men who fly our carpet. Politics and technology are their games, glass and steel are their sanctuaries, manipulation is their method. They are the masters of the super-swindle. McDowell spins 180 degrees in this film. Beginning his business career in London, he is an ambitious, optimistic coffee salesman (for a company that sells processed Nigerian coffee back to Nigeria). He tours England and Scotland, getting cuddled, cudgled, cajoled, and contorted. He emerges capitalistic, back in London, but he hasn't even begun to learn. Thinking that he has the formula for fame and wealth, he takes up with Sir James (Ralph Richardson). Sir James, as the kingpin capitalist, Cinematic crusade After five years of isolation, our hero rejoins society, determined to follow his star in the slums of London. Preaching to society's victims (against a bulletin board backdrop that declares "Revolution is the opium of the intellectuals") is too painful and fruitless for Travis to bear. Film, McDowell is saying, is the only medium that the people will accept as a a tool of revolution. The substructure of the movie is masterful. Each actor (except McDowell) successfully portrays several characters, to further illustrate the theme of flux. Jocelyn Herbert is the production designer, an imaginative woman with The Loves of Isadora to her credit. The suitable beauty and mood of the film is successfully captured by Miroslav Ondricek's camera, and he has some weird opinions about heaven and hell on earth. Writer David Sherwin has a penchant for the vernacular of all classes of the English hierarchy. O Lucky Man! is a film to see twice, to intellectualize about, to take seriously, Malcolm McDowell is a talented, creative man the idea for the film was his, although Lindsay Anderson a fine actor, a thinker, O Lucky Man! directed it will be playing Saturday and Sunday at the Conference Theatre in Norton Hall.

A night time business meeting takes place in a building high above the city, which glows an orange-gold through the windows; the heroine speaks on a phone to the left of the screen, while to the right there are shelves supporting statuary and the color is the same orange-gold. If a film could get by on technical achievements alone Gold would be a classic. Hunt stages a flood in one sequence and a golf game in the next the visual contrast alone is jolting. A scene with a rampaging car is exciting and stunningly executed. Hunt uses children in the film as a contrast to the corrupt adults, but even with a sequence in which a bomb explodes and kills a family (on Christmas morning, as two little girls unwrap their gifts) the director can't seem to conjure up enough emotion in himself to convey anything to the audience. He also uses blatant love theme music to camouflage this lack of feeling during the romantic scenes. — he Roger Moore would seem a perfect hero for this film shows no noticeable emotion. Susannah York, an excellent actress (Tom Jones; Images; X.Y and Zee) whether eating strawberries in a white silk slip or combing her hair while flying a plane, is used more for pictorial effect than anything else.

Prodigal Sun Friday, 15 November 1974 The Spectrum . Page seventeen . �Todd Rundgren's Utopia (Bearsville) Since the days of Nazz, Todd Rundgren has followed his own musical instincts. In the late 60's when most American groups were looking to the San Frlncisco sound for guidance and inspiration, Todd's muse faced and communed with the citadel of England. Nazz was to incorporate a rock Beatle-like harmonic structure, the rowdy, hard rock savvy of the Who, while Rundgren fashioned his guitar playing after Jeff Beck. Todd has always demonstrated a proclivity to experiment and take chances rather than relax and fall victim to a — repititious, predictable formulation. Rundgren's first three solo albums chiefly involved and detailed the bittersweet web of interpersonal relationships. The wavering and evocative emotions of self-doubt, vulnerability. Love's loss and despair color this period. This phase reached its culmination with Something/Any thing;. Yet Todd was not to be seduced by the commercial success of "I Saw The Light," and "Hello It's Me" to toy with adolescent heartstrings while milking their pursestrings. Instead he threw a slider into his musical direction. After ingesting hallucinogens Todd began constructing an acid-laced cosmic vision which manifested itself in the albums A Wizard, A True Star and Todd. Rundgren changed the musical structures from mainly lush and lavish ballads to synthesized anarchy, using interpersonal relations as the starting point for conveying a larger philosophical and societal striving. The albums transform themselves into epistles of communication between Todd and his fans. Since Todd is also a much demanded and respected producer, he can earn a living from his production prowess and release his albums as labors of love instead of business entities. This reinforces Todd's experimental predisposition without being grossly compromised by the pressure and sway of that lowest common denominator; record sales. Bearsville, a small offshoot of Warner Brothers headed by Albert Grossman, Todd's manager, affords Rundgren an intimate and understanding atmosphere to work and create in. Out of this fecund milieu erupts Todd Rundgren's Utopia. The new album is not a solo venture but a combined group offering, even if Tod is the guru directing matters. The disc's primary purpose is to represent what Todd Rundgren's Utopia is like on the road and touring. The first aspect that is striking about the record is that this single Ip is over 58 minutes in playing time. Compare this with the running time of, let's say idiewiid South by the Allmans which runs just a shade over 31 minutes. This reduces out to about twice the musical quantity and roughly ten times the musical quality of Idlewild South. From this elementary mathematical formula, you can begin to arrive at a vague inkling of the herculean force of the music. Utopia emphasizes a swooping falcon power, regal and awesome in its energy yet also molded with an ethereal and aerial lightness. The band performs this paradoxical synthesis with unerring fluidity. The nearest I can come to accurately describing the music's ravishingly beautiful flux would be by way of roundhouse analogy. Take Walt Disney's rainbow visuals in Alice in Wonderland and somehow reproduce it auditorily with smashing results and you'll be near, if not in, utopia. Utopia, lyric-wise, is a fantasy tour through Rundgren's conception of an Olympian paradise. The lyrics remain sketchy enough to sidestep pretentiousness and allow the listener to embellish the framework with his or her personal utopia. The Utopia personnel are all fine musicians. When Rundgren pounces on a wailing riff the band is always there supporting and pushing him further and further, like a pack of hounds hot on the scent. The scintillating keyboard dynamics of Moogy Klingman and Ralph Shuckett is RECORDS amply displayed. Kevin Ellman (percussion) and John Siegler (bass and cello) are electrifying rhythmasters providing a solid and inventive bottom to the sound. M. Frog Labat, who has since departed Utopia for limbo, expertly canalizes a large portion of the music through the synthesizer. Todd only plays guitar, taking a respite from his usual tendency to play any and everything in sight. The Runt's guitar playing has always been good, and here, the kid outshines even himself, proving he is one of the fastest and imaginative guitarists in the west. It's all there and more in Todd Rundgren’s Utopia. Open your ears, see the light and realize heaven in your body. — The New Riders of the Purple Sage Brujo (Columbia) The New Riders' latest effort, Brujo, flows from beginning to end. It's typical Riders, the whining vocals backed by sweet soaring harmonies, all put to a giddy-up rhythm, the type of sound that has branded the Riders since the days when they were "the group that's always playing before the Dead." There is one change, though, and that is the addition of Skip Batton on bass. Skip, a one time member of the now defunct Byrds, penned four of the album's eleven tunes. The best of them is "On the Amazon," a song which is a far call from the usual Rider endeavor and a rather welcome exception to the album. It features Skip's low, gruffy, lead vocal and the "Sirenian" sound of the Clamourine Society of Marin providing the mysterious backing vocals. The song follows a very droll and hazy pattern with assorted instruments scattered here and there for a hard to describe effect that captivates me more and more everytime I hear it. The other Batton numbers, "Big Wheels" and "Singing Cowboy" are a fine blend of "Byrd-styled" songs, played in the New Riders tradition. Then there's the remaining songs, those written by John Dawson or chosen by the group from among the overabundance of country/western tunes, but before I ponder on them, I'd like to bring up a complaint from many of those voyeurs who consider themselves "music experts." A great many people seem to feel that everything the Riders play comes out sounding the same. Most New Rider tunes do have a familiar ring to them (as is the case with "Ashes of Love" and "Workingman's Women" on this present album), but who cares just as long as you enjoy it? After all, a whole generation got off on the same three chords during the fifties. The only difference in the songs seemed to be the words and slight changes in tempo. But back to the matter at hand. Just about every song has its own special flavor. They do a wonderful job on Bob Dylan's "You Angel You," adding some of their best vocal work to an already fine, easy flowing melody. The always smooth and swift pedal steel work of Buddy Cage is highlighted on "Crooked Judge." So much for forced analysis, because every time I listen to Brujo a different song sticks in my head. There is one thing that does seem the same no matter how much I hear the album, and that is simply that I enjoy it. Why shouldn't I? It's good easy listening, nice and simple. It might not be the New Riders at their best but it has caught them in a complete album that will enlighten anyone with the slightest taste for good old "one on the range rock and -Howie Spierer roll." However there are a few obscuro bands with the guts to keep with it. Such a group is Greenslade. They never seem to give up. Every time you look, they have a new album. It's not that they have so many, just that you don't that often. Greenslade is not your usual run of tue mill obscuro. Following the concept of cloud rock, they spice up their packages with some jazz, blues, and even folk influences. Such effects, evident on their last album, were quite good. A graphic cover of a green sorcerer upon a mystic background was rather enticing, and the album itself was well produced and performed. But now it seems they have decided to cut loose. Mixing their style and personnel to move with the times, Greenslade should have just added saltpeeter to their instruments. They really put out a dud. Spyglass Guest is blase. There is no way to get around it. Any goofball with an ounce of brains would say it reeks. First of all, the cover is just there. Certainly album covers don't have to be centerfolds of Playboy to catch your attention but this one takes free expression too far. Also the group decided to expand their talents by adding a new member. Fine. However, with mellotrons, ARP synthesizers, guitars and drums you don't need a violin sticking out like a sore thumb. It's like having the N.Y. Dolls sing Mother Goose rhymes. A real wipe out. Originality is not even theirs. This album has a distinct resemblance to their last one both in format and music. The basic themes of some of the cuts are similar and a number of the riffs sound familiar. Most of the songs even follow the same basic outline. They set off to a good start with a nice melody, slack off at the stretch, then simply poop out the endings. "Joie de Vivre'' is a soft melodic number with an intermittent mellotron and tubular bells to set the mood. Although soundling like church music, it appears to hold promise. At first you think perhaps the whole album will be as nice. Watch out, you're in for a surprise. The moving melodic flow of this cut moves right out of your heart as all the musicians join in doing the number round style (i.e., "Row, Row, Row Your Boat?). Anybody wanna do a circle jerk? It just doesn't cut it. The remainder of this platter of iniquity is hog-wash. "Melancholic Race" is an electronic jazz number that would make Chick Corea hide his face. Want a cross between Genesis and Brian Ferry? Listen to "Little Red Fry-Up." As if that combo isn't bad enough, the chorus is actually Gregorian Chant in disguise. Oh chestnuts! Actually the only cut with any redeeming qualities is "Spirit Of The Dance," a cute little electric-orchestral lick. But I wouldn't advise the album for only one song. So if you got a dollar-five-eight to blow, save it for a rainy day. This isn't a shower, —Sue Was it's a deluge Firesign Theater The Firesign Theatre sez; “Everything You Know Is Wrong" (Columbia) Those of you who were disappointed with the last two Firesign Theatre albums (and their various solo efforts) will be delighted by this one, as it is probably their best to date. Those of you who have never heard any of their albums had better listen to this one, because you are missing out on something that is even funnier than the Grateful Dead. The works of the Firesign Theatre defy classifications Messrs. Ossman, Austin, Proctor and Bergman have drawn from radio, television, records, theater, poetry, the novel, and the newspaper to create a totally new art form.

They rise up from nowhere, usually making a lot of noise, and once again descend into the bottomless pit of oblivion. dismisses these as "comedy albums" is they can be best described as wrong existing on many levels at books," "spoken once, not just comedy. It is this complexity which separates the Firesigns from such "comedy artists" as Oieech and Chong who are, in reality, not funny at all. This also makes their albums hard for some people to get into, as one must listen closely to what is going on in order to fully appreciate them. Every word of a Firesign Theatre album is significant in one way or I find myself, even after another listening to their albums many times, still picking up hilarious innuendos and puns that I hadn't noticed before. This is what makes their albums stand up to repeated play, unlike those of the aforementioned "comedians," which cease to be amusing after the first or second listening. The narrator of this album is a Dr. "Happy" Harry Cox, who introduces it as "another in a series of my mind-breaking records, 'Men Never Lived On Earth' something akin to the books of Erik von Daniken, only in recorded form. Cox has everything we know is wrong, and proof there are aliens living among us even now! Cox has a number of recorded and filmed accounts to illustrate his theory, and the resultant chaos is incredible. The plot is more intricate than any previous Firesign album, with dozens of seemingly unrelated facts, events and names all falling together (in more ways than one) at the end. Several current events and people in the news are satirized, ("I was right about the comet!'' says Cox) most of them brilliantly. After we hear a classroom film that proves conclusively that our American Forefathers took drugs, Cox plays a "very rare" wire recording of an old-time medicine show which sounds like something right out of one of Carlos Castaneda's books. After drinking a potion, two people are transformed into large silver crows, and are told by the mysterious Don Brujaha that they must follow the Snake River to where it is swallowed by the sea. "And they looked in a direction they had never looked before, and they saw a city of gold and amber and crystal in the sky at the bottom of the sea." This is the first hint as to how the record ends, as well as the first reference to the most poignant satire here, that of Evel Kneivel and his "motorcycle jump" over the Snake River Canyon. In this version of reality, a big comet has hit the Earth outside of Curio, Arizona and dug a hole all the way to its center. A local newsman interviews "daredemon" Rebus Kneebus, who is going to jump into the hole: "This is Pat Hat, and I'm here in the desert with Rebus Kneebus, here where tomorrow, over 210 fine million Americans will turn their 420 million blue eyes on this man, and it's got to be a fake." "No, this is no fake, Pat, I'm gonna fall into the biggest goddam hole anybody's - - — — ever seen." The second side opens with a recording of real Gas Music from Jupiter (which Cox exposes as a fake) and the plot thickens with an excerpt from "The Golden Hind," a perverted version of "Journey to Adventure." Buzz and Bunny Crumhunger (Cox's neighbors) explain how they were changed into aliens, much to everyone's amazement. Just before the big jump, we receive another psychic message from Nino "Today let's get into holes, the most — mysterious, importantest, and vaguest subject of them all . . Any further attempt at explaining this record would be futile, as it must be heard about ten times to be fully misunderstood, and I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise ending. So, if you didn't know that dogs flew spaceships, that the sun is at the of the Earth, or that men and women are the same sex, you'd better get your brain is it right away and find out no longer the boss. After all, as it says in the Holy Book, in the Book of Holes, chapter one: "And they knew not their holes from an ass on the ground. —John Duncan center — " Prodigal Sun �From dishwasher to politician First, since I can't talk about Bruce "Utah" Phillips without mentioning Rosalie Sorrels, or vice versa, I'll tell you about both of them.

Publinher»-H»ll Syndicate Libertarian viewpoint To the Editor. I just don’t understate why you waste so much space on Democrats and Republicans, on the professional blah-blah-blah of politicians concerned with nothing so much as getting into and holding office. We all know what they have to say They’ve been saying the same things, on and off, for years. Look, I’m writing with the polls about to close, so 1 know it’s too late, but I’m really disappointed. Believe it or not, until Monday’s edition I was hoping (no, expecting ) you’d devote at least one article a piece to the smaller parties, particularly the to those few candidates, I mean, Free Libertarians who are saying something remarkably different and much better. Wilson and Carey, for instance, double talk ad nauseam, and the monster media, and-now you, eat it up and regurgitate it, undigested, all over the place. (E.g., “Mr. Wilson has said he has no immediate plans to raise tuition at state universities and colleges, but he has not ruled out the possibility of a tuition hike sometime in the future,” The Spectrum, Nov. 4.) It is boring. Many of us are tired of especially at this University, I think that sort of thing, breakfast, lunck, and supper. (1 wonder why the candidates don’t seem as tired of dishing it out?) Jerry Then something different comes along Tuccille, who’s admittedly not a professional politician (at least he’s not a politician), and the Free Libertarian Party, who admit to using his candidacy “as a vehicle . . not to capture the governor’s mansion but rather as a serious and feasible attempt to establish a recognized and viable political and you ignore them. (They aimed for instition” at least 50,000 voted for governor, the number a party must receive in order to entitle it to a permanent place on the ballot). As 1 said, we’ve all heard quite enough from Democrats and Republicans. Now listen, for example, to the opening words of the Free Libertarian position paper on “Crimes Without Victims,” and regret (vainly, alsa, as it is too late) that you didn’t take the opportunity to print, and thereby give members of the University community an opportunity to consider and act upon, them: “The proper purpose of laws is to prevent individuals from using force or fraud to injure each other. No actions taken with the consent of all parties concerned should be illegal. Therefore, we support the immediate abolition of all laws which that is, all laws create ‘crimes without victims’ which prevent individuals (or groups of individuals) from doing what they choose with themselves. Among such laws we include: laws against the sale, possession, or use of narcotics and other ‘dangerous drugs’; laws against gambling, prostition, abortion and pornography; laws regulating the sale, advertisement, or use of contraceptives; ‘blue laws which, for religious or other reasons, regulate hours of business; laws making particular voluntary sex acts illegal; and laws permitting involuntary commitment of those judged insane, but not convicted of any illegal act.” On second thought, I suppose, your regrets needn’t be in vain. Hopefully, there will be other election campaigns in which the Free Libertarian Party participates, during which you can afford them rights leader are assassinated in a few years. You have to kill somebody prominent.” Last week a Louis Harris poll showed that among the humble people of Harlem, N.Y., the thing that worries them most is not inflation, not unemployment, not drugs nor housing: it is crime; 51 percent of the total report that: the next highest anxiety is housing, 31 TRB percent. When President Kennedy is shot you get a commission on violence; after the commission’s great social document is filed and forgotten urban crime goes on much as before. Nobody greatly bothers, we are used to it. The U.S. with 200 million people averages 50 times as many gun murders a year as do England, Germany and Japan combined, with their total population of around 200 million. Crime is now spreading into the suburbs and the subjects may rouse interest again. Eisenhower recalls that our rate of violent crime is five times that of Canada per person, 30 times that of Great Britain and 90 times that of the Netherlands. - - - — . ... — _ — a reasonably fair hearing. Burton I. Weiss Program in American Studies from Washington November 15, 1974 The and growing is more Unemployment unemployment always means more crime. Six percent are out of work, with twice as many blacks as whites, and the figure will probably reach seven percent before long. Crime will tag along. One of the most astonishing changes in the United States in the past half century is the spread of city fear. I think it is what our ancestors, if they returned, would mark most in America after they got over their shock at technological change. “You mean the streets aren’t safe?’’ they would ask. I would be hard to explain that to Benjamin Franklin. It isn’t so bad in other democracies. Back from Europe, a friend told of asking the London hotel clerk if it was safe to “explore” after dark? The clerk’s puzzled look followed him out of the hotel. “Safe?” he repeated. “Safe?” Police don’t wear guns in London. The other day some European graduate students anserwed a New York Times editorial that decried conditions abroad. Well, they responded, “Our streets are safe at night. Your civilization has made it impossible to go for a walk at night in your cities.” In June, 1968, Lyndon Johnson set up a 13-member Commission on Violence and made 91 Milton Eisenhower its head. It reported recommendations to Richard Nixon in July, 1969, Time passed and there was no comment from Nixon. “The House was absolutely silent regarding our commission’s study and recommendations,” says Milton Eisenhower sadly in a new book. The President is Calling. “Evidently our report, like many others, had been filed and forgotten.” You can see how this was, of course: Nixon was elected in 1968 partly because he promised to solve the crime problem, and re-elected in 1972 partly because he said he had solved it. A little embarassing to have a blue-ribbon commission report that crime wasn’t solved and wouldn’t be solved easily! “Violent crime has increased about 100 percent in the past 10 years,” Eisenhower now reports. While the commission was starting its research in the presidential election of 1968, Attorney General John Mitchell kept telling the nation that poverty is “not a cause of Crime.” Eisenhower says this irritated him because his commission was coming to just the opposite conclusion. It is true, they unanimously reported, that the nation should launch an all-out attack on the faltering system of criminal justice but it was just as important to cure the root causes of crime in the social structure. Day-to-day crime doesn’t bother the nation much, Eisenhower indicates. What stirs the country is when “a President, a senator, and a great civil most sympathetic European coming to the Unites States cannot understand one thing, try as he will: why do we allow free access to hand guns? There are 30 million lethal handguns loose in the United States, Eisenhower recalls. He says he was perplexed by the “blind, emotional resistance” to any effort to curb the senseless excess of handguns. When he urged control “vitriolic mail poured into my office, nearly all of it instigated by form letters and cards distributed nationally by the rich and politically powerful National Rifle Association.” Yet every poll taken on the subject over a 10-year period, he notes, favors the kind of control that the Commission recommended. can’t Eisenhower understand it. May 1 make a modest suggestion? 1 think the gun is a sex symbol of male chauvinism. The gun shows masculine superiority, makes even the weakest equal to the stongest. It flatters the ego of men who have nothing else to be vain about. Someday Women’s Lib will discover this and picket the National Rifle Association. It is high time for some new Carry Nations of gun control. But guns alone don’t cause crime; they escalate the its violence. Crime has complex causes Commision decided. There has been, for example, a vast urbanization in America with a new criminal subculture in ghetto slums. Crime is not due to race, they say, but to poverty and environment. In ghettos “the realities of American life have made a mockery of the American dream” bookless, jobless, possibly fatherless, the boy feels the constant lure of the TV set.” By the time he has reached 18 he has spent more time watching TV, mostly programs of violence, than he has spent in school,” Eisenhower - notes. country, In the 60’s established verities church, school, home were under attack. They still are. And it is axiomatic “that in a period of rising expectations on the part of masses of people, - - followed by a period in which there is little realization, violence is certain to follow.” Eisenhower is just as strong in denouncing the other problem of crime: weak law enforcement. Yes, he says, without qualification, failure of the criminal justice system is a crucial fact.” He would double the annual expenditure here, an additional $5 billion. He would also ultimately spend $20 billon to fight the social causes of course, for schools, houses, job opportunities, slum clearances. A lot of money, of course! Repression is cheaper So, support the Pentagon and skimp on welfare; bolt your window, bar your door, buy a gun and stay indoors. Fridav, 15 November 1974 The Spectrum .

Radio /hack - - �College education Legal Dope Aiding lower-income students by Pete C. Califano Legal Aid Clinic For those of you who are having a difficult time deciding whether to enter law school or not, you should possibly consider the alternative of becoming a paraprofessional (also called legal technician, legal service assistant, or paralegal worker). A paraprofessional is somewhat a cross between a legal secretary and a lawyer. As paraprofessionals increase in numbers, their impact on the legal profession might be manifested in the form of decreased legal costs. By saving the lawyer’s time and energy, her exorbitant fees might become more reasonable in lieu of the average American income. Despite the restrictions levied on laymen advocacy in the courtroom through legislation and ABA (American Bar Ass.) interests, there are still situations where the paraprofessional may represent clients in court. Usually, paraprofessionals would be limited to quasi-judicial representation. This would include such things as administrative hearings, fair hearings for welfare applicants, workmen compensation hearings, tenant review boards and rent control boards. Presently, the people involved in such situations have little or no legal counsel. Paraprofessionals could fill the gap. In the law office, paraprofessionals could be involved in interviewing clients, handling cases under lawyer supervision, do preliminary drafting and also be involved in collecting evidance for pending cases. Outside the law office the paraprofessional would be cast in his most dynamic and important role: his contact with the community. Because of differences in class background, the lawyer-client relationship is somewhat limited, sometimes to just to the facts of the case. The paraprofessional could possibly help to bridge this gap. He can help raise the consciousness of both lawyer and client, and thus facilitate understanding and appreciation for each other. Also, paraprofessionals could organize the community on issues that effect them personally, for instance, organizing tenant unions. Finally, the paraprofessional can go beyond the realm of the case and help clients with personal problems, such as finding a job or slaying out of police hands. Overall, the paraprofessional, if given the opportunity, would serve the total needs of a client. Paraprofessional programs are somewhat scarce throughout the country and therefore information is hard to get. For those interested in further information, 1 would check out such places as community colleges, extension programs at universities, law school programs or paralegal institutes. An example of such a program exists at Antioch law school in Washington, D.C. Paraprofessional candidates attend a 14-18 month program where they have many common classes with law students. Eligibility is extended to candidates without college experience although it is a strong asset in the application process. by Ed Ciancone Staff Writer Spectrum Twelve Educational Opportunity Centers designed to aid disadvantaged and handicapped students will open this month in areas of low-income families. The centers will help an estimated 240,000 students in developing or carrying out plans for education beyond the high school level. Colleges and other institutions of higher learning have been and still are for the most part geared to middle and upper class students, according to a spokesman from the New York City center. Gifted students from lower and working class backgrounds often do not have the opportunities and educational preparedness of more affluent students, he said. The Centers will provide personal counseling and admissions assistance to those individuals interested in enrolling the post-secondary institutions or programs. They will also provide assistance to students already attending colleges or vocational-technical schools. Pioneer effort Grants totalling $3 million were awarded on a comi petitive basis by the Federal Office of Education to initiate and support these programs during their first year of operation. Communities were involved with planning the programs and campaigning for the needed federal funds, which will pay up to 75 percent of the authroized cost of operation. And communities will continue to be involved in maintaining the centers’ operations. Site selections were made from proposals submitted by eligible state agencies, other public and private agencies, and both public and private twoand four-year colleges and universities. Eighty-seven such institutions will participate in the centers’ activities in their respective regions. New York City’s center, for instance, will receive $300,000 in federal funds and will be located at the City University of New York and Research Foundation CUNY. The Educational Opportunity Centers were authorized by the 1972 amendments to the Higher Education Act of 1965. The other centers are located in Huntsville, Ala.; Los Angeles; Denver; Washington, D.C.; St. Louis; Boston; Hudson County, N.J.; Espanada, New Mexico; Dayton; Dallas; and Tacoma. Six of these are located in urban areas, two in areas with both urban and rural characteristics, and two each in primarily rural and metropolitan areas. Bacardi light rum for what?

Athletic budget freeze vetoed No changes by Bruce Engel contracts that resulted from these Sports Editor changes. Executive vice-president Scott Salimando and treasurer Sal Napoli plan to fulfill the first requirement by informing the Assembly that $87,000.00 of a total of $260,000.00 budget has actually been spent. They determined this figure after consultations with the Athletic Department last week. However, Mr. Salimando reported at the Executive Committee meeting Monday that there were two thick books of contracts for upcoming events and it would take weeks to estimate the total cost. But in most cases, he noted, the contracts do not involve specific dollar amounts but merely commit a team to being in a certain place at a certain time for an event. This entails costs for transportation, food and lodging SA President Frank Jackalone vetoed Monday the Student Assembly’s resolution to freeze the intercollegiate athletic budget. “I find it necessary to send back to the Student Assembly this piece of legislation passed by that body for repassage,” Mr. Jackalone read from a written statement at a meeting of the SA Executive Committee Monday night. The SA President is granted this form of veto power by the Student Association bylaws. He may force the Assembly to take a second vote on legislation at the first meeting following its passage. The Assembly passed the freeze legislation last Wednesday, and it went into effect immediately, with the exception of last weekend’s intercollegiate events. This meant that the first “frozen” event was to have been last night’s Women’s Varsity Volleyball game at Brockport. Jackalone’s action Mr. effectively voids the freeze, pending a revote at today’s Assembly meeting. Budgetary breakdown The freeze resolution called for a complete breakdown of all contracts signed by the Athletic Department. Specifically, it mandated an investigation by the Executive Committee of the legality of both the budgetary changes made by the Athletic Department and all the signed The SpECTI\UM Vol. 25, No. 35 State University of New York at Buffalo Wednesday, 13 November 1974 cannot be Mr. Napoli raised a technical point in reference to the Assembly’s request that the legality of departmental changes in the budgets be investigated. “There weren’t any changes. There can’t be until I approve them and I didn’t sign anything,” he asserted. The Athletic Department had merely suggested revisions but the original Executive Committee budget was still in effect, Mr. Napoli claimed. In announcing that he would send the legislation back to the Assembly, Mr. Jackalone told the Executive Committee that he was concerned with the effect the freeze would have on both the competitors and spectators who participate in athletics. “These students would have suffered unnecessarily,” Mr. Jackalone said. He also stated that the Assembly’s resolution was phrased as a request for information, and was not based on a lack of cooperation by the Athletic Department. “This was the first time that the Assembly had asked for that information,” he said. An abrupt freeze will put Student Association on shaky legal ground and leave them vulnerable to law suits, Mr. Jackalone said. “If we are going to be involved in a lawsuit then let it be SA who is doing the suing,” he asserted. Mr. Jackalone was also worried that the Administration has the power to veto any student government action, in relation to the freeze. In this case, the Athletic Department might see fit to shut down intramurals as well, he said. “This was not a matter of backing down in the face of administration threats ... The situation was such that the Assembly’s demands could be met without a dramatic confrontation and without the subsequent harm to the students involved,” Mr. Jackalone continued. Furthermore, the Assembly’s action was inconsistent with that body’s backing of a previous Executive Committee resolution to freeze intercollegiate athletics by November 11 if certain conditions were not met, the SA President maintained. That was averted by possibility with the negotitations week, last (see story Department on page 3) Last week’s freeze was a “sign of confusion, not firmness,” Mr. Jackalone said. “On the one hand, allow the Athletic Department over two weeks to correct a blatant disregard of SA policy, but on the other hand, give the department no time to forward information.” Executive Committee to supportfour-course load by Mitchell Regenbogen Campus Editor The Student Association (SA) Executive Committee denouncing intimidation of the University by budgetary forces in Albany unanimously passed a resolution Monday night defending the University’s four course-four credit system. — — “It is the inalienable right of the faculty, students and Administration to determine the specific academic policies of SUNY at Buffalo,” the resolution stated. Budgeting, the motion emphasized, should not be a “major criteria” for developing academic policies. The Executive Committee’s action came less than one week after a special subcommittee of the Faculty-Student Executive Committee recommended that the four course load be re-evaluated. That recommendation was, in effect, a response to the Administration’s repeated claims that the State Division of the Budget looks at the University’s budget skeptically because of its policy of granting four credits for three hours of course work. The SA proposal refuted suggestions made last week by some faculty to add an extra class hour to courses meeting three hours per week, or reduce four credit courses to three credits, which would result in a five-course load. These changes would create a “dangerously inflexible and rigid systenr,” the resoltukm stated, and would bring undergraduate course demands to “crisis proportions,” by putting further stress on the University’s inadequate''' facilities. The Executive Committee also feels any change would result “scheduling and advisement problems' all undergraduate students SA President Frank Jackalone told The Spectrum Monday that he would send a letter to the Faculty-Senate Executive Committee today outlining arguments for retaining the four credit system. He said the letter would reaffirm the philosophy of the four course load as developed in the late 1960’s and explain to the University community the disadvantages of increasing the number of faculty contact or class hours per course. Mark Humm, SA Academic Affairs coordinator, said the University must convince Albany of the soundness of its academic policies. The University should use only an “academic measure” to formulate credit policies, Mr. Humm emphasized. However, he stated that “if we can’t convince them, we should accept the consequences” of possible budgetary sanctions. Mr. Jackalone’s letter specifically attacks the concept of increasing faculty contact hours, which he feels will result in student having less time for independent course work and fewer opportunities for social, cultural and recreational activities. Enormous effect This would have its most profound influence on those students who must work to support their education, he said. “The effect would be enormous.” Increasing contact hours or the number of required courses would also cause a decline in enrollment, the SA President —York claimed, because many students would be forces to quit school or take classes part-time Mr. Jackalone said any change from a four-course-four credit system would set into motion a chain of events, beginning with lower admission standards. This would be followed by a decline in full-time equivalent students (calculated by the number of enrolled credits), and, as a consequence, a decrease in the number of faculty positions. Mr. Jackalone foresees “enormous” scheduling conflicts should the University opt for an alternative system requiring increased time in the classroom. Any arrangement that increases contact hours would place a burden on University students already commuting between the Main Street, Amherst and Ridge Lea campuses. “If the amount of commuting is increased, bussing, parking, and maintainance would all have to increase,” Mr. Jackalone said. Shift Discussing the proposal made last week by a member of the Faculty-Senate Executive Committee to decrease three hour courses to three credits, Mr. Jackalone said it would immediately increase class sizes without changing the number of faculty. Under a five course-three credit system, the number of courses a student needs to graduate would also be increased, primarily in elective credit, he explained. “This will mean a shift from a career-oriented education to a more general orientation.” With a system where one credit hour is granted for every class hour, natural science courses, with their corresponding laboratory sections, would be assigned more credits than non-science courses. Mr. Jackalone decribed this as the “economics” of credits, explaining that science courses would increase in popularity and cause more overcrowding. The Executive Committee resolution recognized that some flexibility in credit-granting might be advantageous. Mr. Humm said individual departments should be allowed to offer a five-credit course to “supplement” a three credit course. In any event, the faculty might be opposed to any proposal that would increase the number of teaching hours, Mr. Jackalone remarked. He siad the United Univcrty Professional (UUP) might argue that the increased teaching time violates the union’s contract. The amount of course work covered in a hour hour course, he added, would probably be identical to its three hour predecessor. �Watered down texts do mean watered down students? Contributing Editor A new generation of college students who cannot read at traditional college levels is forcing many textbook publishers to print books in a simplified and “watered down” style. Many publishers, in the $392 million college textbook industry report that two-year community colleges and even four-year institutions are complaining that books are too difficult for students to understand. Many educators feel today’s children, raised on visual media like television and movies, simply do not have enough exposure to written communication to develop the skills necessary for success in College. Reports of “functional illiterates” who enter college with above average verbal expression skills but can only read and write at a sixth grade level are not uncommon. Publishers attribute the need for simplified texts to the rapidly expanding Community College enrollment which this year exceeds 3,000,000 students. A spokesman for McGraw Hill, one of the largest college text publishing companies, said many students in community colleges today “just would not have been in college at all 20 years ago. They are “C” students in high school who didn’t go to college before but they’re there now.” Preparation Herbert J. Addison, chief editor of John Wiley and Sons, another major New York publishing house, said that while students at Harvard and Yale read as well as before, “community colleges do report a decrease in reading level ability, particularly open admissions colleges.” The situation may not be as critical at this University, but it still exists, Charles Ebert, Dean of undergraduate studies. feels that many students are underprepared in certain areas. “In general sense,” he said, “most students have difficulty in vocabulary and writing skills. A well educated foreign student is often better in these areas than an American student.” Dr. Ebert also feels the blame lies with today’s high schools which put too much emphasis on memorization and don’t spend enough time developing the students’ expression skills. However, he said that if watered down connotes clearer texts, it was a good trend. “Many books are becoming so technical and mathematical that they are accessible only to a very few people in the field,” Dr. Ebert maintained. Because there is a much greater variety of texts available, there is more competition among authors, he explained. Many are, therefore, writing in a style that is more readable instead of merely relying on content to sell their books. “Faculty shy away from narrow technical writings to books that offer a wider range to encourage reading,” he said. Oversimplified Norman Solkoff, assistant chairman of the Psychiatry Department, also feels that many textbooks are inadequate and oversimplified. Many are simplified to the extent of distortion and give a lot of misinformation. Dr. Solkoff said. Many of the introductory texts for lower level courses, he said, were written for students with poor reading skills. While he feels this is due to lowered admission standards. Dr, Solkoff thinks it is a favorable trend because “everyone is entitled to as much education as possible,” Textbooks "are either written in a very poor dry style or in a gimmicky way which over simplifies,” he emphasized. “Increased competition has lead to more stylish and creative writing but they still leave a lot to be desired in terms of information content.” The only way to get current, accurate information was for the instructor to be knowledgable enough in the field to correct mistakes in texts and to assign research papers for updated information, Dr. Solkoff added. Readability formulas Many publishers are using “readability formulas” that carefully guide word length and sentence structure to keep the textbooks simple and readable. The companies are also more careful in editing of the books, using headings, summaries, and carefully drawn formats to make the text Kent State acquittal decided Eight .former Ohio National Guardsmen, accused of violating the rights of students at Kent State during the May J 970 demonstrations in which four students were killed and nine wounded, were acquitted Saturday in US. District Court in Cleveland. The trial, unusually brief, began Oct. 29. In handing down his statement, Judge Frank J. Battisti declared that the prosecutors had not proved “beyond a reasonable doubt” that the guardsmen willfully deprived the students of their civil rights. Judge Battisti further stated in his opinion that “it is vital that state and National Guard officials not In response to Judge Battisti's question concerning what had been specifically proven. Mr. Murphy replied, "We have shown that the shootings were unjustified; that there was no danger posed to the guardsmen’s lives.” Insufficient Judge Battisti countered in his opinion, prepared soon after the defense requested a motion for dismissal on the grounds of insufficient evidence, that “there is no evidence from which the jury could conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendants acted with premeditation, prior consultation with each other, or any actively formulated intention to punish or otherwise deprive any students of their constitutional rights.” While conceding that the government had shown that the Guard had used “excessive and unjustified" force in firing without orders to do so, the judge said the Guard had not deprived\ the students of their constitutional rights under Sections 8 and 242 of Title 18 of the United States Code. Reactions The judge’s decision was welcomed by the former guardsmen. “I’m on cloud nine,” said indicted guardsmen Lawrence Shafer. Paul Mack, one of the jurors who voted for acquittal, told another guardsman, James McGee, “I’m so glad that it turned out this way for you. —Allen regard this decision as authorizing or approving the use of force against demonstrators, whatever the occasion of the issue involved. Such and was, deplorable.” Evidence shown use of force is, Now you can go back to a normal life.” Parents of the slain students, however, felt that justice had not been served. Arthur Krause, whose daughter Allison was slain on the Ohio campus, said, “I still want the truth out, and it didn’t come here.” It may come next spring, however, because parents of the injured and slain students have filed a $20-million civil suit against the National Guard and former high ranking state officials, including James A. Rhodes, the recently re-elected governor who commented that “justice had prevailed” at Saturday’s trial. In Washington, D.C., J. Stanley Pottinger, assistant Attorney General in charge of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, said in a prepared statement; “We felt that the case should have been decided by the jury instead of the judge. With that ruling we are disappointed. But we are not In presenting its case the prosecution called 33 witnesses and displayed 130 exhibits, many of which included photographs of the fatal May 4, J970 demonstration at Kent State.

Another solution to the reading problem is to set up remedial English programs to help students strengthen their skills in weak areas. The Learning Center at this University offers courses in reading, writing, math, oral communications, and study skills, to help students to improve their present levels. Walter Kunz, Associate Dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education, feels it is more important fora college to offer remedial programs, rather than lowering standards to allow everyone to pass. He views the trend towards lowering grading standards and degree requirements as a disservice to the student. “If a student can’t think critically and creatively the degree is useless,” he said. “It’s up to the college to correct any deficiencies. High Schools don’t claim to produce educated people, but colleges do,” Dr. Kunz said. ONCE AGAIN We have Another: - I by Don Eisenmann Student Assembly Budgetary meeting,] TODAY 4:00 pm Haas Lounge All undergrads should attend. �• by John A. Fink Spectrum Staff Writer A list of recommendations designed to ease the problems of foreign students here and to unify their leadership was released in a report recently submitted to President Robert Ketter. The report seeks to provide solutions to a wide array of difficulties confronting foreign students ranging from a lack of communication and coordination among the offices which control foreign student affairs, to the future of international education at the University. The Committee on Foreign Students and International Education a group of foreign student and Administration representatives established last May to identify problems facing foreign students and provide solutions devised the report. Since this University has the largest foreign student constituency within the SUNY system (approximately 1400 students at both graduate and undergraduate levels), the report argues that the University possesses a great yet poorly understood resource in its foreign students, who lack an authoritive voice in decisions that involve them. - — Tuition problems Tuition waiver money for foreign students was recently cut to $335,000 (a 50 percent reduction) and permission for foreign students to work during the summer vacation was restricted. These actions have resulted in a mood of anxiety among foreign students. One of the issues discussed is the misunderstanding that foreign students are “displacing worthy state students.” The report criticizes reasons like “humanistic internationalism,” usually used to justify the admission of foreign students. Instead, the Committee recommends that the University prepare a public statement which supports foreign student admission and international education. * Needed leadership Another criticism concerns the lack of coordination and leadership among the offices charged with the foreign student welfare. Raj Ticku, .international coordinator of the Graduate Student Association and a committee members, suggested that the offices were under the direction of too many different faculties. He also pointed to a “carefree” attitude toward the foreign students’ needs. University-wide recognition of foreign students is an importaht goal of the committee’s work, Mr. Ticku asserted. “We’re (foreign students) the largest minority group on campus,” he said. The report further charges that the Office of Foreign Student Affairs (OFSA) often misplaces its priorities. It advises a thorough evaluaiton of the OFSA services, with considerable input from foreign students. It says that too much emphasis was put on the handling of financial aid matters while the OFSA’s role of advising and counseling students was neglected. The report urges the OFSA to take a more active advocacy position on behalf of foreign students. Many foreign students feel there is an unfair allocation of financial aid, according to the report. It calls for the reassignment of that function to the Office of Financial Aid. Also mentioned were plans for generating scholarship money from the Buffalo community. A need for a continuing orientation program was also stressed. Mr. Tichu indicated that the “culture shock” many students experience when they arrive at the University could be remedied if increased interaction between foreign students were encouraged. Other areas specified in the report include policies concerning tuition waivers and sponsored fellowships; legal rights for foreign students; and employement services. Similar objectives Remarks made by Homer Higbee, Assistant Dean of International Studies and Programs at Michigan State University, were also included in the report. Dr. Higbee visited this University last July at the invitation of the Committee to provide an objective comment on the situation. Dr. Higbee's observations were as follows: -Greater communication between foreign student offices and the University was needed. -Incorporation of the Foreign Student English Language Program into an academic unit of the University. Much of the Committee’s efforts were aimed at modeling the foreign student program after those responses to the report from several areas of the University. When asked why it took so long to undertake a project like this. Mr. Ticku remarked that many foreign students were afraid of speaking up before. But, he said, that has changed.

Their preferences were the growth and development of students; academic and intellectual experiences; service to society and the community; and vocational note: This■ is the second two-part series on the academic, social and cultural a changes students have undergone since the "sixties. ” by Dene Dube Feature Editor Students are spending their time and money in different areas than did their sixties predecessors. “Many students find volunteer work a substitute for easy credit,” said Milton Plesur, professor of history and former dean of the Division of Undergraduate Education. He listed “jobs, grades and grad schools” as three of the eternal concerns among students. Coping with academic preparation. In contrast, a recent study of student concerns, reported in the NASPA Journal (published for the Student Personnel Administrators’ Organization), revealed that job placement is the basic worry among students today; with academic achievement; social regulations; campus living styles; curricular decision-making; and sexual freedom following, in that order. Helping the community The movement was clearly towards the community in 1970, when students demonstrated in support of the striking production and maintenance workers at the Nuclear Fuels Service, Inc. plant in West Valley, N.Y. Students have since learned that they must confront the working man “in Lackawanna,” on his own turf, instead of shouting slogans from the day of the the “romantic revolution” “storm the Bastille” ideology, added Norton Hall director Jim Gruber, Previous to former University president Martin Meyerson’s resignation in 1970, the State University at Buffalo was often referred to as the “Berkeley of the East.” Since then, though, “radical students have become more conservative, and conservative students have bbcome more moderate,” said Dr. Gruber. Describing the sixties as the “era of tension,” Dr. Gruber believes communication has since improved. “Students are more courteous and more receptive to other students with different views, and to the general University community,” he said. — High grade work While a recent Newsweek article indicated a “grade inflation” on campuses. Dr. Plesur believes that students are better awareness has increased greatly over the past four years. in art history, economics and political science has risen, while pre-med and pre-law programs are booming, with enormous increases in the number of applications to professional schools. magazines. Students The “extra-curricular” activities students engage in today also reflect a change of interests. Billiards and table tennis have grown in popularity more Subscriptions to the Times through the University Bookstore have doubled, along with an increase in sales of popular news are also more realistic about what they want and expect out of life, taking a pragmatic rather than a philosophical approach, according to Dr. Gruber. Choices of majors incidate this change. While many students still major in the social sciences and the humanities (which even in 1970 made students worry about their job options), they are now supplementing their intellectual pursuits with the double major, to assure themselves a prepared and brighter today. “They are budgeting their time better as they are approaching according director of Placement Center. order,” he said.

He also pointed to a growth in the popularity of chess. In addition, more students are attending movies on campus than ever before, and more movies than ever are being shown. Compared to three UUAB movies per week four years ago, the Union Board now sponsors five nights of movies a week, and has added midnight shows on weekends —continued on page 14— The rape problem remains critical in Buffalo by Margaret Dickie Spectrum Staff Writer students’ hitchhiking near Norton Hall. There have been reports this year of sexual abuse at the University at MacDonald Hall, the Health Science Library, and the Ellicott Complex in addition to several complaints of exhibitionism, frequently occuring in libraries and on the front lawn of Hayes Hall. Again, the incidence of sexual abuse and exhibitionism is also assumed to be higher than the number actually reported. Paul Orsi, Campus Security investigator, encourages victims to report rapes immediately, not only to facilitate the gathering of evidence, but also because any delay may be detrimental to possible prosecution. Presently, rape victims can receive counseling on campus at Michael Hall, at the University Counseling Service at Harriman Library, and at Sunshine House. Sunshine House also offers to pick up the rape victim by car at the scene of the crime and bring her to campus. — While in the literal sense rape is a physical assault, the effects-of such a crime on the victim extend considerably further than does mere bodily violation. Months and even years after such an assault has been committed, many rape victims must contend with lingering guilt and emotional damage. > Too many victims would rather not report the assault at all, than prolong the ordeal by facing the embarrassing questions of lawyers and-physicians. In fact, many feel they have again been “victimized,” this time by police examiners who often insist on detailed accounts and even suspect the victim of having provoked the rapist. The Federal Bureau of Investigation asserts that rapes and sexual assaults are the least reported of all crimes, projecting that 80 percent remain undetected by the proper authorities. Besides, the conviction rate of rape suspects is only one half of one percent. Although there has been some increase recently in the number of reported rapes, still fear, shame, and the feeling that rape laws are ineffective have deterred victims from going to the police. Unreported rapes Only two rapes have been reported to Campus Security at the State University at Buffalo in the past four years, possibly because most victims would rather contact the Buffalo or Amherst police, or outside counseling agencies. Kathy Carter, a Campus Security Officer, feels that Campus Security is “very well equipped” to handle rape cases. There are five female officers on the force, with at least one on duty at all times, she noted. Campus Security has discovered from outside agencies that many of the campus-related rapes have resulted from — Central bureau The Task Force suggested as well the establishment of a Central Sex Offense Investigation and Analysis Bureau, More Compassionate and recommended that more policewomen be assigned to The number of recorded rapes has risen 24 percent in rape investigations.

In May, the Task Force presented to the County Legislature and Mr. Regan 46 recommendations for the handling, combatting, and prevention of rape cases. “Recommendations for Medical Services include prompt, sensitive medical care for all victims, development of a model for gathering and preserving of evidence, and development of a special program for sexually abused children,'’ the report stated. Also included was a recommendation for the development of a 24-hour counseling service, which would encourage referrals from police agencies and hospitals, and a call for special counseling services for children and adolescents. The services would require the training of volunteers and professionals to work with the victims. — — �Yearbook Buffalonian is alive. living in Norton 302 Contrary to popular belief, the Buffalonian, the State University at Buffalo yearbook, does exist, and will be published by the end of the academic year. “It’s hard to get the message across that there is a stable foundation” on which to base a yearbook, said Clem Colucci, Editor-in-Chief of the —Jansen Clem Colucci Buffalonian. “Outside of putting out a ’75 yearbook, we’re trying to restore its credibility,” which has dwindled in the past few years, he explained. Mr. Colucci is uncertain why people think the Buffalonian’s quality has declined. He described the 1972 yearbook as “decent,” unlike the small, 1 973 edition. Buffalonian paved recovery simply by “disaster” the ’73 out to be, he said. soft-covered The 1974 the way for not being the book turned Quality yearbook Mr. Colucci feels it is indeed possible to produce a good ’75 Buffalonian. If this year’s book is of good quality, next year’s staff will have “two solid years of performance behind them” and may “start worrying about expanding instead of just surviving,” he maintained. The 1975 book has, admittedly, gotten off to a late start. Mr. Coined describes it as being “in more or less a state of limbo.’’ The necessary “administrative hack work” is out of the way, though, and the “yearbook itself’ is ready to be worked on, he said. Presently, the entire staff of the Buffalonian consists of Mr, Colucci and Steve York, “photography editor by default, because he takes pictures and I don’t,” the Editor-in-chief said. There will be a meeting Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m. in 302 Norton Hall for all those interested in working on the Buffalonian.

PLAZA *Hair Care �Complete grooming under one roof 837-3111 Closed Mondays Buffalo economy is in “bad shape,” to the consefisus of opinion of local business and labor union leaders. Almost 40,000 people were unemployed in the Buffalo metropolitan area in September 1974. This represents an unadjusted unemployment rate of 7.4 percent locally, substantially higher than the national 5.8 percent average. The 4.1 layoffs per 100 employees in the Buffalo area during July 1974 “appear to be pretty high,” a Bureau of Labor statistician noted. The unemployment rate for Buffalo in 1973 was seven percent for all whites and approximately 5.3 percent for all whites over 20 years of age, indicating a high rate of unemployment for minorities and people under 20. A spokesman for the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce explained that many business leaders are taking a “wait and see” attitude, largely because the traditional economic indicators are apparently not The according He pointed to the “contradiction” of farmers killing calves while other people starve. He feels the upcoming Christmas buying season will be an important indicator of the economic future. Winter is a generally slow business season, especially in the automobile industry, he said. Economics “is very much in the eye of the beholder how it affects you,” the spokesman said. An individual's reaction to the present situation is greatly influenced by whether he is employed and secure in his job. - upon He believes the impending coal strike may have very significant effect both on the national and local economy by affecting the railroads, the steel companies, and the power industry. Niagara Mohawk, the local electric utility, uses coal to generate electricity. Furthermore, he contended, the eventual wage settlement may lead to further inflation. The spokesman explained that the government had predicted an inflation rate of six to seven percent in January, but that the rate has swollen to about 12 percent for the year. The Chamber is considering an Economic Outlook Conference in January. 10% DISCOUNT Joe Newton, of the Regional United Auto Workers (UAW), said there have been layoffs in all local General Motors plants and at the Ford stamping plant. “For those guys, it’s a full-blown presentation of I.D. card on men's hairpieces.

The auto industry is a crucial economic indicator because of its role in a chain reaction involving the steel, glass and rubber industries, he added. Mr. Newton mentioned that a GM assembly plant in Tarrytown, N.Y., which was producing 800 cars per day, recently laid off one whole shift 2000 people. He explained that the smaller cars “just aren’t moving” and called management’s attitude one of “doom and gloom.” — Pretty good news The UAW spokesman believes that the Western New York area is “holding up pretty well” because the assembly plants are hit first and, locally, GM and Ford have only parts production facilities. However, as layoffs increase in the assembly plants, unemployment will rise locally as the need for parts decreases. A spokesman for General Motors stated that in the past two weeks, there have been a total of 766 “indefinite furloughs” in the Lockport, Tonawanda and Buffalo plants. Those who were laid off were seniority employees, who are eligible for benefits of up to 95 percent of their regular take-home pay. A representative of the United Steelworkers described the local situation in the area as “not too bad,” and blamed the recent layoff of 100 workers in the strip-mill division of Bethlehem Steel on cutbacks in the auto industry. Unemployment figures Unemployment in the nation reached 6 percent in October, the highest level in almost three years. The jobless rate rose among males aged 25 to 54, who are the major breadwinners for their families. The consumer price index in Buffalo was 151.9 in September, the same as the U.S. city average. Commerce Department figures indicate. The index, which measures average changes in the prices of goods and services usually bought by urban wage earners was, however, 12.1 percent higher than a year before. The indices for food, non-food commodities and service rose during September, while gasoline prices declined for the second straight month. The economic confusion and uncertainty was best summed up by a spokesman for the city’s Chamber of Commerce, who said that despite the shortcomings of the economy, the Buffalo Bills still sell out all of their games in 80,000-seat Rich Stadium.

Page five �1 Haas Lounge 4 p.m. The Student Assembly is expected to take a second vote today on whether to freeze the intercollegiate athletic budget, in response to SA President Frank Jackalone's veto of last week's resolution to impose the freeze. Throughout the athletic budget controversy, it has not been clear which body is more representative of students the Executive Committee or the Student Assembly. For this reason, it is imperative that as many students as possible attend the Assembly meeting in Haas Lounge at 4 p.m. to voice their opinion regarding how their money is — being spent. Learning by the hour? This is written on either Sunday or Monday for a Wednesday appearance. This should be remembered when reading the following, albeit it may be no longer accurate by the time that you read this. Monday was a day that seemed unable to make up its mind about what the season was, or what time of day it was, or anything else. It was warm and overcast. The warmth of the day which 1 finally made it strange to rake leaves consented to do for a while. My suspicion is that I avoided doing it as long as possible as a denial that winter is coming, but the problem became glaring enough to do something about it. Being outside raking leaves in the middle of a stand of leafless trees without a coat on stirred up all sorts of confusions. Things are obviously how come it feels dying | lip like spring? The trees are sitting there naked, when by the feel of the day they should have that pale green tinge that signals the wj beginning of the beginning. The clouds kept drifting by in such a way ty steese that knowing exactly where the sun was at any particular moment was very difficult. Diffused light of gold and orange kept poking its head out from different corners of the sky, keeping my usually reasonably accurate time sense wacked out. One consistent thing anyway. I put the bird seed out when I began to rake, and they clearly had some feelings about that sequence of events. It was very apparent that they prefer not to sit there and look at food when they have to be nervous about me puttering around the yard. Too it doesn’t seem to bother the damn bad damned squirrels at all, they just sneak around in back of me and swipe sunflower seeds. Such feelings are grounded in reality, or so my attempts to understand the world insist. It is not necessary to look terribly far to find the basis for my feeling in limbo. I am waiting to find out who is going to get a job I applied for, myself or one of the other folks. There is no clear evidence one way or the other about what is going to happen. A conclusion you may well believe I reached only after microscopicly examining every possible piece of information which might bear on the subject. Since I already work at the same place in a slightly different capacity there is a fair amount of information which 1 glean. This is done probably to keep me busy. If you spend all your time trying to decipher how people are looking at you, or what that last comment might possibly have meant, you have considerably less time to just sit there and quiver. Who’s anxious? It is a wierd place to be. If you can back out of it far enough to take a seat in the bleachers somewhere in the back of your head it resembles - — As changes in the four course-four credit system continue to be contemplated during the next few weeks, the Faculty-Senate and Administration should carefully weigh some of the SA Executive Committee's arguments in defense of the four course load. Until recently, administrators and faculty who favor a change in the system of credit-granting argued that "reduced" faculty workloads have short-changed the University's request for resources from SUNV Central Administrations, or that "depriving" a student of one hour of faculty-student contact makes him lose a major part of his education. Unfortunately, such analyses have tended to simplify the enormous dimensions any change in the system of allocating credits would have. As SA President Frank Jackalone is expected to point out today in a letter to the Faculty-Senate Executive Committee, an increase in faculty-student contact hours, aside from exaggerating the importance of time spent in the classroom, would discriminate against students who must work to support their education. Many would be forced to quit school or take classes part time. Even those students who do not have to work would have less time for independent study and fewer opportunities to engage in social, cultural and recreational activities. The already-overcrowded shuttle bus system between campuses could become even further paralyzed if time in the classroom is increased, and the resultant scheduling problems might be "enormous," as Mr. Jackalone has pointed out. Furthermore, the University could conceivably defeat its own purpose of securing more resources and faculty lines if the dislocations resulting from a hew credit-granting system cause enrollments to decline. Aside from these considerations, the whole notion of equating credits with contact hours completely ignores the educational value of the four-course load values which were investigated and presented when the ‘decision to change from the five to the four course system was made in the Fall of 1968. That decision signaled a growing awareness that contact hours do not equal learning, that learning cannot be legislated, and that students can learn a great deal if they are given the opportunity to explore their interests outside the confines of a classroom's four walls. Even if the State Bureau of the Budget were to follow through on its threat to cut the University's resources, the overwhelming practical and educational advantages of the four course load should convince the Administration to accept the consequences of — possible budgetary sanctions. Before the University gets further sucked in by regression administrators, faculty and students should take a moment to look back on the Fall of 1968, when every segment of the University instead of being interested in education only as it directly benefits the University was involved in academic decision-making and committed to needed educational innovations. In doing so, it might be helpful to consider some cogent remarks by members of the University community at the time of the change to the four-course load; — some sort of sporting event. The optimists and the pessimists are out there toiling up and down the field, nobody scoring anything, playing blindly on into the future. The game can’t be football because it moves faster than that, more like hockey or soccer flowing back and forth and sometimes getting stuck in the middle for prolonged periods of time. Even when my awareness is focused somewhere else, at least as far as I can tell, the game must be going on. 1 suddenly find myself trying to make up my mind what to do in case of one thing or the other. What to do about this if I get it, what to say to that person if I don’t. It is somewhat spooky to suddenly run across another pocket of feelings when you thought you had them all contained. You are trying to deal with something which appears completely unrelated and lo and behold, you are suddenly back at that game again. I am not legendary for my capacity to deal with anxiety. My tendency is to avoid circumstances in which I am aware of feeling anxious with great industry. In this my success is adequate, but hardly sensational. Reality problems intrude in the process with disgusting frequency. My comfort and confidence in my own ability to drive a car are more than adequate. There are those who will argue that they are based less on reality than on madness, but poo!, let’m walk. Such feelings have absolutely nothing to do with the reality of trying to watch the other idiots.Drive defensively is a motto that makes a great deal of sense to me, but how have you stayed alive this long if you haven’t been? When it comes to areas in which I am not so comfortable or confident, things get even stickier. . . not surprisingly. Such as my ability to get close to people. Simplistically, there are two classes of people in the world those with whom your needs are balanced, and those with whom they are not. The latter class subdivides into those who want you to be different, and those you want to be different. The first class does not seem to give me anywhere near the difficulty that the second class does. Them are the folks that are usually beating me up for not being able to get close to them in the first instance, or being someone they are into avoiding in the second case. Since the size of the first class is much much smaller than the size of the second class, my relationships with the world are largely _ - — anxiety provoking. My viewpoint is that it matters considerably less whether you are able to get rid of the anxiety than that you are able to cope with it and keep going. My discriminations about what successful coping is are sometimes questioned, but what the hell, I made it this far more or less intact. And will make it out of the current wierdness.

Yet Mr. Salimando, in last Friday’s The Spectrum, stated, “1 didn’t hear one specific explanation of what they wanted to cut or why.” Where in the motion to freeze the budget was there a clause to cut something?

We are in a period of pop apoclypses. Lifeboat Earth is rocking, and taking on water. Films and novels reflect it killer sharks and crippled planes are the mythic equivalent for our dwindling supplies and our desperate spasms of demand. It is perhaps too easy to cry wolf in these circumstances; but Robert Heilbroner’s book shocks by its refusal to emote, exhort, or lament. It is a brief, cool, reasoned study called “An Inquiry into the Human Prospect,” and it is having a profound impact. It has sold largely in universities. It is the subject of 80,000 paperbacks already specially-called conferences and seminars and lectures. Since Heilbroner is a respected economist, 1 asked him if he went to President Ford’s economic summit. “No, 1 wasn’t invited. And I wouldn’t have gone if I had been. What I have to say would not have been seriously considered there.” Heilbroner considers the summit an not an education on our real needs, but an exercise in self-deception attempt to dither and fudge them out of sight. And this is odd; because the reception of his book proves that people do sense bad trouble ahead, and are willing to give it calm study beforehand. They may even brace themselves, as Heilbroner has, to the need for social controls of a son that Americans have traditionally hated. Some reviewers of the “Inquiry” have written as if Heilbroner were advocating authoritarianism out of a love for controls in themselves. That drastically twists the message of the book. What he says is that we are entering a need economy, and typical situations of that sort always have led to rationing, a strict count of resources, and harsh restraint on the squandering of those resources. People on a lifeboat or in a beseiged city have to know who is drinking how much water, and why. Even a libertarian hero like the capitalist Captain Eddie Rickenbacker became a “statist” and dictator when he was stuck on a lifeboat with too many survivors and too little food. What Heilbroner secs as mankind’s prospect is a condition of emergency prolonged and normalized. If that occurs, then the restrictions will be imposed most likely in panic, belatedly, erratically, as Nixon put on and lifted Phase Two controls in spasms. There will be old fundamentalist right-wing talk of dictatorship. (It is “statist” for us to know how Rockefeller money controls the economy, but not for that money to do the controlling.) Heilbroner’s economic thesis is much like the historical school that saw a closing of the frontier early in this century. America’s speculative economy worked almost miraculously in the nineteenth century because its task was a simple one of expansion. We had 2 continent to exploit and obtain, and we virtually exploded across it in the years between the Civil War and the turning of this century. In such a context, wild speculation paid off more than it cost, even in human terms. Conspicuous consumption was a kind of unwitting shrewdness of investment. The more players the merrier when the game was always to get, to gain, to risk. Now we live in a world where keeping has become a greater imperative than getting. What does it matter who gets the oil or the food when the real point is that there is not enough of it to go around? We cannot encourage squandering; we must encourage conservation in the broadest sense. We must ration ourselves before we run out of continent, and of globe, for the exploiting. That will involve a basic revision of our whole outlook, our myths and symbols as well as our economy and politics. It may mean the belated education of Americans into the harsh realities of history. Counting on doom has never been a foolish trait in men, though we have treated it as somehow un-American. - - - 'I'M WITH YOU ...

I am addressing myself to Jonathan Burgess’s letter that appeared in The Spectrum on Friday, November 8, 1974. In relation to the controversy over the Day Care Center issue, Mr. Burgess asks: “How are social rights related to individual rights?” f hope that we both agree to my starting point: you and I Andrea Ronin An Assembly Member believing in the existence of what is referred to as “individual rights.” But who sets the definition of such a thing? A point will be reached where your individual rights might clash with mine. Obviously we have a problem here that needs to be solved. A supervision over both of us and chosen by both of us would be able to untangle the overlapping or of our individual rights. This supervision whatever system we may choose is what I would call a social right. In addition, Mr. Burgess says that “there is no such thing as collective wealth.” I would not argue with that if it means only that - — should be instated. 1 am appalled at the fact that front doors are left wide open for anyone to come in at any hour of the night. In the University’s effort to stretch funds by cutting door security, students protection is at stake. This is my third year living on campus and the feeling of security one expects in dorm living has diminished with every year. I feel that the basic rights of every dorm resident are being neglected because of this sub-par system. I urge that some form of security evaluation take place now. Malcolm Peekler ? To the Editor. - Most importantly for once the Assembly has refused to be a “rubber stamp.” I have prsonally heard Executive Committee members (including Mr. Salimando) urge this year’s Assembly to stop acting as a rummer stamp. Now, Mr. Salimando says that the Assembly must “decide to support the budget that the Executive Committee submitted” and he has the nerve to say it in a crude, insulting article. Perhaps, Scott, the Assembly will trust and work together with the Executive Committee when it stops being so hypocritical and insulting. security To the Editor.

All what exists is a collection of parts wealth (taxes), and some symptomatic treatments of the system itself (welfare, unemployment, food stamps, etc, . .). But the concept of “collective wealth” certainly exists in a socialist system, and undoubtedly is one of its basic features. As for Day Care Center, it is one of these symptomatic treatments. I heard some people complaining about it in the same way Mr. Burgess is; “They do not have the right to someone else’s money.” But again a controversy manifests itself in the whole argument: it is a capitalist system but in the same time it is a democracy; did we forget about that? How do you solve this seemingly unproblematic fact, but in reality full of controversies? The Graduate Philosophy Association (The Spectrum, October 23, 1974) is only doing its part in a Democratic system, but the terminology it is using does not fit a capitalist one. Tony S.

People like former co-captains Bill Jacoutot and Jerry Nowakowski, as well as the super exciting Ed Hamilton, may be sorely missed this year. Though the Bulls have always had excellent dual meet records (55-4-1) over the last three years), national place winner has always eluded them. “Our main goal this season is to have national place winners,” Michael said. a year ago. But that great year is Place winners? This year’s squad is well suited to produce that national place winner when the National Championships roll around next March. Last year’s stars, Jim Young and Charlie Wright, are back for their final year anyone from Buffalo had ever gone before. This season Charlie should see a lot of dual meet action as a heavyweight rather than at his tournament weight of 190 lbs., but he can also beat the bigger guys consistently. Wright thrilled the crowds many times last year with his exciting go-for-broke style, featuring many judo-type throws and muscleman moves. Wrestle-offs have just begun, and at this time a definite lineup has not been determined. But most of the weights have only one or two leading contenders. The rundown Sophomore Ron Langdon is back at 118 and seems to be a cut above the rest. “He has the will to win and can push himself in a match situation,” Coach Michael said. “Ron has the potential to be great at his weight.” The 126-pound berth is left wide open by the departure of Bill Jacoutot, who held it down for two years while compiling Buffalo’s best career record for dual meet wins. Ray Pfieffer, Rich Ruth and Greg Jones are all in contention. Young, last year’s MVP, returns at 134. Jim has only recently joined the squad because of his commitment to the soccer team. He will need some time to get adjusted, but should be ready for the first match Tom Lloyd-Jones may come into his own this year at 142 lbs. Jones won his weight at the New York State Freestyle championships a few weeks ago and was named the outstanding wrestler in that tournament. third in the state high The 150-lb. class sees Kirk Anderson school tournament last year at 134 with the inside track. But he’ll get fierce competition from sophomore Bob Martineck, who was impressive in limited action last season. - Overload The Bulls will have two of their better athletes in the 158-lb. class Davis and Bruce Hadsell. Hadsell had the best season any freshman has ever had for Buffalo last year. He used his long arms and legs resourcefully and was able to pin many of his opponents. It will be interesting to see if his success can continue after moving up two weight classes. “Bruce is still filling out, and we can’t be sure how it will affect him,” said Michael. Paul Grandits is another possibility in the 158-lb. category. Warren Rogers and Erik Drasgow are the frontrunners in a wide open battle at 167. Drasgow may go up to 177, but there he would face stiffer competition from last year’s 167-pounder, Jim Lamb, and from Emad Faddoul, who started at 177 last year. Faddoul is a step above everyone else in this range and might even move up to 190 if the lineup has to be juggled. He was a standout at times last season and now needs only consistency to be a great wrestler. — of competition, and both would have to be rated among the nation’s best at their respective weights. Young set several Buffalo records including an incredible 21 dual meet wins - in last year’s campaign. Jim recorded eight pins and defeated many tough wrestlers. He qualified for the Nationals by finishing second in the regionals to an eventual National place winner, Don Rohn of Clarion State, then lost in the second round of the championships to another place winner, Mark Belknap of William and - Mary. Charlie Wright made it to the national quarterfinals, farther than Wally Wright and friends Freshman Bill Bartosh and sophomore Ted Kucharski will keep Charlie Wright company in the 190 and heavyweight ranges. Michael expects a lot of shuffling here, with only Wright seeing action all the time. Mammoth heavyweight Pat Russi has decided not to come out for the team this year. Pat’s long history of injuries made it difficult for him to prepare himself for a match. It is unlikely, even if he were to wrestle, that he could go the full season without hurting himself again. Inflation seems to have reduced the schedule, although fortunately most of the lost opponents are poor teams. Notable additions this year are Kentucky, with Olympian Jimmy Carr and a rapidly improving Binghamton team.

As significant as this move is, it may be even more important for what it doesn’t do. It leaves out two of Buffalo’s biggest sports due to hockey and wrestling the fact that our conference mates do not compete in these activities. Hockey is by far the University’s most popular sport and wrestling has been its most successful over the past few years. This is not to say that hockey, under fifth-year coach Ed Wright, has not been successful or that wrestling, under fifth-year Coach Ed Michael, has not been popular. Both programs rank high in both categories. Perhaps the most telling tribute to hockey was evidenced last week, when the Student Assembly (SA) voted to freeze the budget immediately.

Because there was a home hockey game Saturday night. Even the anti-athletic assembly did not want to miss the hockey game.’ Popular sport Buffalo hockey games have always attracted, and probably will always attract, large number of students.

To make the season successful, we’d have to have either an ECAC or CCHA (Central Collegiate Hockey Association) bid.” The Bulls’ strong point this year, as it was last season, is offense. They led the East in scoring with an even 200 goals last year, and may top that this year. Returning to. lead the goal-scoring charge is senior right-wing Mike Klym. “Mike has proven he’s very capable of putting the puck in the net,” observed Wright. “For us to be successful, he has to be a team leader in both hustle and production. From what I’ve seen in the preseason, he’s in better shape than before any of the three seasons he’s been here.” - —Center Pro prospect Klym, Buffalo’s career goal scoring leader with 78, is considered a bonafide pro prospect by many observers, including Wright. “He’s got good size, speed and he shoots the puck well,” the coach commented. The team’s other senior and co-captain is center Doug Bowman who went to high school with Klym in Leamington, Ontario. “Doug is a team leader,” observed Wright. “He’s highly respected by the players.” Bowman hasn’t scored many goals while he’s been at Buffalo, but Wright feels there’s a good reason for that. “He’s one of the best defensive forwards in the East,” said Wright. “His goal scoring hasn’t been what it might have been before, but that should improve this year.” Joining Bowman on what may turn out to be the team’s top line are sophomores Jack Kaminska and Mike Dixon, both local products (from Canisius and Kenmore East, respectively). Klym will skate with Bill Busch and Rick Wolstenholme, who was the third leading scorer for the Bulls last year, behind Klym and John Stranges. The other lines have Jeff Pearce centering for Mike Caruana and Chris Bonn, followed by Ron Maracle between Chuck Davies and Tom Haywood. All but Maracle are local products, a result of Wright’s heavy recruiting in the Buffalo area the last well,” said Wright. “They’ve matured to the point where they’ll do a good defensive job against good two years. “We’re going to remain with these combinations unless we find some players aren’t opposition.” getting the job done,” the coach promised. Concentrated defense While the defensemen have always scored well Young and balanced Wright claims to be undecided on a number one for the Bulls (Sylvester was Buffalo’s fifth-leading line right now. “It’s a good situation when you feel scorer last year), Wright hopes things will change this all your forwards are capable,” he said. The team is year. “With the good firepower we have up front, we young and hasn't proven itself, but it appears that hope to let the defensemen concentrate on playing the potential is there. “This could be the season they good defensive hockey and not have to worry about put it all together," Wright added. scoring.” To put it all together, the Bulls are going to have The goaltending appears well fortified, with to vastly improve on their defensive performance of John Moore in the top spot backed up by Tom last year. “Defense is the key to us being either a Farkas and Don Maracle. “Given any kind of good team or a great team,” remarked Wright. “If defensive help at all, he’s (Moore) going to be Mark Sylvester regains his form of two years ago, aweson,” Wright said. “He’s the kind of goaltender we’re looking forward to a good season defensively.” that can keep us in any game.” Joining Sylvester at one blue line is freshman The Bulls will have a tough time trying to better Randy Cooper, a really hot prospect.

Despite two superstars, Jim Young and Charlie Wright, and two future superstars, sophomores Ron Langdon and Bruce Hadsell, the team is weaker than it has been in a few years. It seems the days of the junior college transfers who built Buffalo into a national top 20 team for the past three years are over. Coach Michael is now recruiting from high schools almost exclusively, but for the most part not attracting the really good wrestlers. This year, the gaping holes in the lineup could mark the beginning of a gradual decline in the quality of the program. Down but not out However, Michael has made wrestling successful and popular here, and this popularity should continue. If it doesn’t, there may be problems, particularly if the conference really catches on. But don’t let the chance of lessened success fool you. While the Bulls won’t be a national power anymore, it appears likely that they will always be among the best in the state, if not the East. Right now there are only a few teams in New York that can even challenge Buffalo, and it should be a while before the Bulls sink to these others’ level. But even then, wrestling will still be one of Buffalo’s higher quality Wrestling Schedule November: 16 Alumni; 23 at East Stroudsburg Open December: 4 Colgate at Erie Community North; 7 at Bowling Green with Western Ontario; 12 Lock Haven; 20-21 at Midlands Tournament; 26-28 at Wilkes and C.W.

Wednesday, 13 November 1974 The Spectrum Page nine . . �reps also competing with NEAS A r'AA lot of students just don’t know who to believe,” A1 Weisman, vice president of CASS, had said before the conference. Mr. Weisman had correctly evaluated that although his case was strong, his credibility was slipping. The mess thickened when CPS learned that not only was Mr. Weismann paying for the Freedom Committee releases, but he was also writing them. “Essentially A1 Weisman is the Freedom Committee,” said one of the committee’s student members. “He just calls us up and tells us when he’s going to send out another release.” The media � Advertising agencies vying for big college newspaper markets by Neil Klotz Special to the Spectrum (CPS) The National Educational Advertising service (NBAS) and the College Advertising Sales Service (CASS) are currently at war over a clause in the NBAS contract which gives it the exclusive right to represent college papers for the solicitation and placement of national advertising. This so-called “exclusivity clause” has been used by NBAS both to insure its ad sales and to discourage competition, competition which is now synonymous with CASS, the largest and best organized threat it has ever faced. Last April, CASS took NBAS to court to force it to abide by federal anti-trust laws. Rut in a confusing legal opinion, the U.S. District Court in Chicago ruled that NBAS did not have to abide by anti-trust legislation because college papers per se did not constitute a “relevant market.” Relevance In other words, said the court, college papers are only including radio, television one part of the total media and magazines to which college students are exposed. NEAS did not have a monopoly on this total market and that was all that was “relevant.” CASS appealed but the case has not yet reached court. Following the decision, NEAS told college papers the court had ruled that they must abide by the exclusivity clause. NEAS also began deducting commissions on advertisements placed in papers by other national — - advertising representatives by withholding money it owed on NEAS-placed ad insertions. In addition, it threatened to terminate papers that would not drop other reps and refused to renegotiate with papers that wanted to delete the exclusivity clause from their contracts. Journalism Association of recommended that its 70 member papers cancel their contracts with NBAS if exclusivity remained non-negotiable. And the ad managers of the Minnesota Daily and the Kentucky Kernel toured the country during the summer drumming up anti-exclusivity feelings in the name of the Freedom Committee, an ad hoc group billing itself as “your peers at major college newspapers throughout the country.” In late August 100 other college papers (including the In Standoff As the Associated College Press (ACP) annual conference in Hollywood, Blorida began, it became apparent that although there would be fireworks in the fabled NEAS-CASS panel discussion, college papers were sufficiently divided on the issue to allow NBAS to maintain its hardline stance. For one thing the credibility of the Freedom Committee had been injured by the disclosure that much of its printing and travel costs had been paid by CASS, as well as New School and Freelance two smaller national financial difficulties The academic clubs at this University are facing financial problems. The academic clubs represent students from various academic departments, organizing activities for the benefit of individuals in the department. The clubs are also designed to make students more knowledgable of their chosen academic field. Although the clubs are funded by SA, their financial difficulties have resulted from sponsoring more events and activites, and recruiting more memebrs. Joining the Student Assembly would give clubs a greater chance of geting increased funding, said Scott Salimando, Executive vice-president of SA. Lynn Konovitz, President of the History club, said that closer relationship with SA “couldn’t hurt,” but feels that academic clubs inevitably rank low among SA priorities. “What do we go to school for, and what is the University for?” asked Mr. Konovitz, indicating that the anser is “academic.” The purpose of the clubs isnot purely social, he added, emphasizing the importance of academically-oriented activities. Stressing the need for an increased budget, Mr. Konovitz described the high cost of course descriptions, symposiums, films, career days. Beg for funds The Nursing club has plans for purchasing reading and study materials and organizing a reading lounge for members, but club President Karen Kotlik said that present funds are insufficient. The History club could not even afford a newsletter for its members, added Mr. Konovitz. It has reached a point where club officers feel they must “beg for funds,” he said, adding that the History club was only given $190, or half of last year’s budget. Unless more money is appropriated, Mr. Konovitz forsees many clubs being forced to “fold up.” Jackie Cresswell, treasurer of the Nursing club, would like to see the “small minority” responsible for controlling SA rutvoted by a greater and tighter organization of the academic c ubs. But, Ms. Cresswell said, academic club representatives have lost the desire to attend Assembly meetings because they have become “very disillusioned.” Ms. Cresswell agrees with SA Academic Affairs Coordinator Mark Humm that club members must be active if they want “more of a budgetary impact. Students don’t realize they can have an academic voice, she added. . The Spectrum Wednesday, 13 November 1974 . the 70 in the JACC) joined the Kernel and the Daily and announced they would terminate their contracts with NBAS in 12 months (NBAS contracts also require a 12-month termination notice), unless the company deleted the exclusivity clause and stopped deducting commissions for non NBAS ads. In addition, the Kernel filed a separate suit against NBAS charging that the company had legally forfeited and waived the exclusivity clause by failing to enforce it for eight years. NBAS held firm, claiming that exclusivity gave it “the boldness to plan for the future” and that deducting for ads it didn’t actually place was an “accepted practice” in the industry. But it promised to reimburse papers for commissions already deducted if they would only abide by exclusivity. Academic clubs face Page ten California, Community Colleges (JACC) - Legal action Mr. Weisman said CASS only provided the information and the printing and mailing costs, but that the releases were “approved and mailed out” by the Freedom Committee. The question becomes more significant considering that one of the Freedom Committee’s requests is that member papers pledge $100 for anti-NEAS legal action. Recently, a good deal of information about NEASS operations has been revealed including: — States At a 1970 conference of the now-defunct United Student Press Association (USSPA), NEAS agreed not to enforce its exclusivity clause, according to Paul Ideker, then USSPA business manager in charge. In 1971 the Justice Department initiated an anti-trust investigation of NEAS, but according to Ralph McCareins of the department’s Chicago branch, it agreed to drop the case after NEAS submitted a contract with the exclusivity clause omitted. Although he had previously denied that such a deal was made, Mr. Hanson admitted that this had happened when faced with McCareins’s - statement. 1973, NBAS sent a letter to its papers “free to take advertising from sources other than NBAS.” But in September 1973 it wrote back threatening to terminate papers if they did not - In April stating that they were abide by the exclusivity clause. Most ACP business managers said that their ad revenue from NBAS had fallen over the last few years. If NBAS could not put more than its present six salesmen on the national college advertising scene, it didn’t deserve exclusivity, some argued. But many feared that if they quit NBAS the company would strangle them with even fewer ads over the required 12-month period before termination took effect. - Black Student Union BLACK HOMECOMING: PHASE II presents / THE ISLEY BROTHERS/ Barkays Blue Magic November 22, ’74 Memorial Auditorium 8:00 pm. • Tickets $5, $6, $7 For information call 831-2830 SA PARTY Saturday, Nov. 16th 10:00 pm Student Club - Ellicott FREE ADMISSION FREE BEER Live Music • Mixed Drinks Sponsored by Student Activities �Rats Half-way house now home for the elderly rP -]"HE September Residential flavor some type of halfway house and drug rehabilitation center was to be established at the Hertel Ave. site surfaced early in August.

The promises to install a red lighting system, stock additional brands of beer, and provide advertising, were broken by Food Service, said Mr. Phillips. Consequently, there was an immediate drop in business, and Food Service began losing money. Band and ticket-taker salaries exceeded admission sales at the door. Buffalo State College has a Pub similar to the one in the Rathskellar. “However, unlike UB, they are successful because they have had the close cooperation of their Food Service organizations,” Mr. Phillips said. “We are now aiming to secure written cooperation from Food Service,” he added. “Only then can we consider reopening the Pub on Main Campus, and possibly maintaining a similar set-up on the Amherst Campus.” SA club listings RETREAT IK The Rathskellar Pub, a weekend evening spot for drink and music, has been temporarily disbanded.

Rubin Staff Writer Spectrum The Hockey Bulls opened their 1974-75 season with two high-scoring wins as they bombed Kent State, 9-2, and defeated Elmira, 9-5 last weekend. Both games were maired by penalties and shoddy defense on both sides, but in the final analysis, Buffalo’s high flying forwards proved to be the difference. After a five-hour bus trip to Kent State on Friday, the Bulls virtually stepped off the bus and onto the ice. Not surprisingly, they looked flat and just barely escaped the first period on the short end of a 1-0 score. In the second session, however, Buffalo turned everything around. They started skating, passing and more important, they started putting the puck in the net. Sophomore Jack Kaminska scored twice with help from linemates Doug Bowman and Mike Dixon, who also scored once himself, while the Bulls exploded for five goals and held the Clippers scoreless during the second period. The onslaught continued right into the third period as the Bulls rattled off four more goals, after an elbowing penalty to Tom Haywood set up Kent State’s second tally. Kaminska’s hat Kaminska, who had one of the third period goals, scored the first Buffalo hat trick of the year. In fact, it was a good night for his entire line as winger Dixon had two assists and center Bowman had three. Bowman also excelled as a penalty killer for a large part of the Bulls’ 29 penalty minutes. Goaltender John Moore played well despite the fact that his defense was consistently being caught up ice. The Bulls came home to a screaming throng of nearly 2000 supporters at Holiday Twin Rinks on Saturday night, and responded by scoring 6 goals in the opening period. Coach Ed Wright observed, “That was the best period of hockey any team of mine has ever played.” Star winger Mike Klym recorded his first goal of the season after only 11 seconds of play, and the Bulls added two more in the next minute and half. However, the exhausting bus rides and the furious pace of the first period were too much for Buffalo. After Dixon opened the second period with a quick goal, a series of bad penalties and sloppy defense opened the door for Elmira. The Soaring Eagles walked right in, scoring three goals in a row. Klym stopped the Elmira charge with his third goal of the night midway through the final period, Statistics box November 8 At Kent Slate Buffalo 0 5 4 9 Kent St. 10 1 2 Scoring: First Period: Buller, (KS) (Blnnle, Wolfe). Second Period: Kar.ilnska, (B) (Bowman, Songin). Dixon, Hockey (2-0): —Center and Buffalo coasted the rest of the way. Bowman’s line was impressive again, scoring four goals, but on this night the trio of Bill Busch, Rick Wolstenholme and Klym were equally brilliant. However, the defense did not play very well. “Our defense is thinking too offensively. They have to start concentrating on stopping the other team from scoring. We have high-scoring forwards to worry about our offense,” Wright noted. Buffalo will be trying for its third straight win when the Bulls and Kent State play tonight at 7;30 p.m. at Holiday Twin Rinks. SELF PSYCHOTHERAPY — — — (B) (Kaminska, Perry).

However, Doug had an even bigger contribution to the first two wins serving as a very successful penalty killer in games that had a disproportionate number of penalties. Bowman generally controlled the action at both ends of the ice in the Kent State and Elmira contests and led his line to eight goals in the two games.

Students are also more interested in owning a bicycle as a mode of transportation that is far more economical than a car, said Mr. Louis. The trend away from mechanization is another factor, also apparent in boating, where the old speedboater is now turning to sailing. New bicycle workshops and clubs are emphasizing maintenance and repair, added Ms. Hicks.

The emphasis in the food co-op is on organic foods, geared to the vegetarian diet. Students also seem to be interested in exotic foods and imported wines. In 1970, the Blacksmith Shop offered U.S. Choice boneless sirloin for $2.95, a bargain unmatched today even by The Library’s steak dinner for two for $7.95. The Library, a restaurant, was taken over two years ago by the Turgeon Brothers, who awn several other restaurants in rthe Buffalo area. Its menu were designed to meet the “exotic” food demands of students, according to Frank Turgeon. Additions to the menu since the restaurant opened include spinach salad, omelettes, and more spices. In Sign of the Steer, another Turgeon Brothers restaurant, snacks and soups like cream of mushroom, clam chowder and lentile have been added to the menu. Mr. Turgeon has never seen anything like this “soup craze,” he said. The opening of the Greenfield Street Restaurant last year suggests that the vegetarian diet is still popular as well.

Either you liked hard rock, or you listened solely to soft and country rock. San Francisco groups, like the Grateful Dead and the Jefferson Airplane, were the hot stars, but LA Rock, headed by Crosby Stills and Nash, was also popular with students. The folk music scene was lead by such names as Tom Paxton. Phil Ochs and Tom Rush. “Now people are listening to Deep Purple, the Dead, and ‘glitter rock.’ like the New York Dolls” all at once, said Mr. Scheidlinger. “While everyone is listening to ja/z now, they were hardly aware it was alive then,” he added. The distribution of sales at the Record Runner in University Plaza is indicative of this trend. Students were buying either straight rock or folk music four years ago. according to the store s manager. Much mure jazz and classical records are now sold to students. Despite the higher list prices of records a jump from $4.98 to $5.98, and S6.98 to $7.98 student purchasing power has not diminished.

He stressed the importance of setting up models of violent behavior to generate meaningful predictions of who will be violent under certain cricumstances. The speech, part of the ongoing series of Life Workshops, delved into the questions of whether it is possible to predict violent behavior from statistics; and whether social setting is directly responsible for violent acts. No answers are yet available. Dr. Solkoff cautioned, but several theories have been proposed. Causes of violence Dr. Solkoff stressed that little is known about statistically predicting violent behavior, and that many people operate under fallacious assumptions about violence. To illustrate his point, he mentioned the ideas Lyndon Johnson outlined for a Presidential Commission on Violence to explore. Mr. Johnson wanted to know if the structure of society cuased violence; if permissiveness increased it; how individual acts of vioolence are related to mass public disorder; and why people reject peaceful means for effecting change in favor of violent ones. Mr. Johnson also asked what steps could be taken to eiminate violence. No answers to these questions are currently available, Dr. Solkoff said, but two major theories have been advanced. The Ethnological Theory, whose major proponents include Conrad Lorenz and Sigmund Freud, states that “man is inherently violent and aggression is normal,” Dr. Solkoff said. One strong point supporting this theory is that man is the only vertebrate species besides some rodents that habitually kills members of its own species. Dr. Solkoff believes, though, that the Environmental theory, the other major idea, better explains the causes of violence. Frustration Solkoffs lecture described instigating violence, such frustration as “the blocking goal,” or “the presence of stimulation.” noxious, uncomfortable Frustration can be caused in two ways, indicated Dr. Solkoff, either from an “actual physical barrier interposed between the individual and the goal,” or from inner frustration, emanating from a person’s own feelings of inadequacy. Inner frustration may result in feelings of anxiety or impotence, he said. A person afflicted with “absolute frustration” knows he will never be able to reach his goal, the possible outcomes being apathy, resignation or despair. More dangerous than this, though, said Dr. Solkoff, is “relative frustration,” better known as the “revolution of rising expectations.” The bulk of Dr. factors involved in frustration. He defined of obtaining a desired Other factors Two related factors necessary to incite violence, added Dr. Solkoff. These are cues or “triggering mechanisms,” and models for aggression. “People may need stimuli in order to be violent,” said Dr. Solkoff. These stimuli are cues for violent behavior. For example, police in uniform during a demonstration can spark a riot, he said. Discussing models for aggression. Dr. Solkoff said he has found that “people are more aggressive when they have a model to imitate.” and that “children will earn an aggressive response through modeling and then exhibit it in response to a cue.” This is an important aspect of modeling, in relation to children’s learning aggressive responses from violent TV programs, he said. He also cited a surprising study of such responses, which indicated that while the least aggressive children turn more aggressive when exposed to TV violence, children with a greater aggressive tendency become less so through a process of’catharsis.’ “You may discover that violence is actually rewarded, and this will increase the probability of violent behavior,” Dr. Solkoff noted. War or physically attacking someone may be rewarded, with desired results, thereby encouraging the use of coercive force, he said. Little proof the personality of a potentially violent person. Dr. Solkoff said that there isn’t enough documentation yet to prove what type of person is most likely to display aggressive tendencies. Examples of people who seem to show violent behavior more often than others, he claimed, are paranoids, people with double Y-chromosomes, and and people with abnormal electroencephalograms Discussing (EEC’s). However, he later explained that at lease in the instance of double Y-chromosome abnormalities, those persons with an extra X-chromosome tend to display similar violent behavior. Also, many of the studies have been done on prison populations, which do not represent a random sample of the whole population, resulting in inconclusive data. After examining frustration, cues, models, and it is nonetheless impossible to predict if an incidence of violence will ooccur, he said. He continued, however, to stress that there is an urgent need to discover a method of predicting violence in order to resolve the related issues of who will be put away in a mental institution or who will be subject to legal preventive detention (for example, denial of bail). One type of violence, “random explosive violence,” cannot be predicted, claimed Dr. Solkoff. Random explosive violence is spontaneous and can be directed either intropunitively (within yourself), resulting in suicide, or extropunitively, the outlet being homicide. An interesting cross-cultural fact is that societies with low homocide rates tend to have high suicide rates, and vice versa. “Pusposeful violence,” or, in other words, premeditated violenced, is what Dr. Solkoff hopes to be able to predict. “But for now,” he said, “the best predicter of criminal behavior is previous criminal behaviour.” Page two The Spectrum . Monday, 11 November 1974 . A Western New York Public Interest Research Group (WNYPIRG) task force will conduct a survey to determine if dormitory residents on the Amherst Campus feel they are being overcharged for telephone service. The present telephone system in the dormitories allows unlimited local area calls for about $11 per month, the highest rate in the country. This system was chosen because the Administration felt it was easier for the students, said Howard Rotto, head of the task force. He explained that for dorm residents to “get their money’s worth,” they would have to average more than three local calls per day, or 98 calls per month. “Most students do not make 98 calls, so there is no reason for them to pay such a high charge,” he said. Because of the telephone wiring system already in the dormitory buildings, all students BUFFALO BAR TRAINING o o ° Q F Jj 58 float Street 894-6112 • G • New Classes Starting mry Monday Y Send for Free Brochure Licensed by New York State Education must choose the same service option, maintained Mr. Rotto. As an alternative to the present unlimited call system, he suggested the message unit metered arrangement, whereby users pay a lower basic rate for a specified number of calls, with added charges for extra calls. Mr. Rotto maintained that the majority of calls made by students are intra-campus calls, which are free. Steven Allen, a Buffalo representative of the New York Telephone Company, was unable to confirm this claim, but he said that “it doesn’t matter to the company which system is used.’’ “A vast majority, say 70 to 75 percent of the students, must want the metered system in order for the system to be changed,” explained Mr. Rotto, adding that the change must also be “justified” to the Administration. “The cooperation of the students will determine if a change in the rate system will be instituted,” he said.

She works for a private force partly because she does not meet the height requirement for city police, and partly, due to the lack of positions available to women on the Buffalo police force. Present police height requirements are 5’4” for women and 5’7” for that the height would not be against requirements discriminatory minority groups and women.” The federal Justice Department has brought a suit, in fact, against the Buffalo Police Department and the Buffalo Fire Department for not recruiting or hiring women and minorities. “Breaking barriers is rough. constantly come upon obstacles,” declared a member of the National Organization for Women.

Particularly in the plainclothes division, he said, “men and women are working side by side.” “There are some situations where women are superior to their male counterparts,” Mr. Amico added. Despite his high regard for the women in the department, however, women admittedly do not receive the same pay as do men in the same positions.

Young Special to The Spectrum Everyone agrees that electric transmission lines are appallingly ugly, but suggesting that they are health hazards and sources of environmental pollution is as surprising to most people as that the saying homely, freckle-faced kid next door is guilty of grand larceny. But the extremely high voltage lines which are currently being constructed in many places around the country are causing side effects which are degrading the quality of life and endangering the health of the people living nearby. technology Transmission has the point where lines carrying 7 65,000 volts are operating in a number of states and lines designated to carry up to 2,000,000 volts are being perfected for the near future. These very high voltages are carried on bare, unshielded now reached conductors pass in many or 50 feet above that places just 40 roads and farms. In the vicinity of these lines there is a very intense electric field that causes small, continuous currents to run through the ground, plants, and even the farmer on his tractor. This electric field can be made visible in a dramatic way by carrying an ordinary fluorescent bulb near the line. The bulb lights up without batteries, cords or metallic connections to the ground. Most people who see this experiment immediately ask what effect currents and fields of this strength have on people and other living things. Considering the importance of this question, one might assume that it had been thoroughly investigated by the power companies. But a search of the scientific literature reveals that the subject has not been adequately studied. The few research projects that have been done show that there may be profound effects caused by these fields. About eight or 10 years ago, when American utilities were starting to use extra-high voltage tests were equipment, two conducted by the companies. In one experiment, 22 mice were exposed to strong electric fields for a portion of each day over a 10-month period, resulting in a significant reduction in the size of the male children of exposed mice. The other study involved 10 linemen who did repair work on 345,000-volt lines. The company watched these men for nine years, doing seven complete medical examinations on them, and determined that three of the ten men had significantly reduced sperm count. However, the report said it would be hazardous to draw any conclusion on the significance of these facts from such a small sample. Recent laboratory studies in the United States have turned up positive evidence of biological effects from electromagnetic fields ranging from chromosome damage to high blood-pressure Veterans’ benefits bill awaiting action by Joseph P. Esposito City Editor A bill that would extend benefits for vetrans attending has been college passed overwhelmingly by Congress, but been sent to the signing because Congressional supporters fear Mr. Ford will pocket-veto the bill by ignoring it during Congress’ election recess. The legislation is expected to be submitted to the White House for action, though, when Congress reconvenes No. 18. The bill, HR 12628, an $800 million package, would extend veteran’s benefits from 36 to 45 months and would create an additional $600 annual loan program. The Ford adminstation has called this 23 percent increase has not Presdient and that President Ford feels the 23 percent cost-of-living increase is excessive. He also revealed that a Presidential veto would be seriously considered after a staff review of the bill is presented to Mr. Ford. yet for inflationary. No compromise The Administration initially called for an 8 percent boost in benefits, but when Congress began working for a larger increase the President suggested a compromise 19 percent, an offer which would eliminate the monthly increase and the loan program. The legislation, which does not apply to graduate students, would increase the current benefit schedule of $220 a'month for single, full-time students, $261 for for married students, $298 married students with one child, $18 a month for each and additional dependent. A White House spokesman indicated the Adminsitration is “still hopeful that the Congress will reduce the proposed increase” No longer excessive? The press spokesman added, that because the however, cost-of-living has increased since the bill was passed the incerase may no longer be considered excessive. An aide to Senator Jacob Javits (R., N.Y.) asserted that a veto on HR. 12628 is unlikely; “There is no doubt that it would be overriden if vetoed” and that this bill would “not be a good test case” for Presdient Ford to use his veto power. Senator Javits is co-sponsoring Hartke with Senator Vance (D-Ind.) a measure (S 4139) that would extend the proposed increases to graduate students. It is intended to prevent discrimination against graduate students, particularly those who already held B.A.’s when they entered the service. This legislation will be referred to the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, which is chaired by Senator Hartke, when they meet later this month. Passage likely The Javits spokesman feels that the bill will go through committee within a week or two quickly after the November 18 return. He added that is is expected to pass the Senate and has a good chance of passage in the House. - and alterations in levels of blood protein, fats and cholesterol. Neurological tissue appears to be particularly sensitive, confirming the fear that long-term exposure may damage the nervous system, as well as cause changes in cellular the genetic chemistry and structure. Another pollution hazard from high tension lines is the generation of ozone and highly radioactive chemicals. When walking under these lines, even in good weather, you can hear a crackling, sizzling sound. This discharge causes the air to break down as an insulator and the space around it becomes a seething cauldron of electrical and chemical activity. There are many processes involved which may be particularly damaging to living things. Research into this has shown that exposure to large phenomenon chronic concentrations of ozone causes tissue damage, increased lung sterility, and incidence of defective offspring in laboratory animals. It also affects the growth and yield of many plants. Monitoring stations for ozone levels in the atmosphere have only been operating at a few locations during the last two or three decades and it has only been in the last year or so that monitoring has been conducted in many cities and rural locations throughout the country. But several surprising have interesting results and already emerged. Concentrations in rural areas are found to be regularly higher than they are in the cities, and levels in both the and country throughout many states exceed the National Air Quality standards. Additionally, over the past few decades, the average levels have been increasing throughout the industrialized parts of the world. No one really understands the reasons for the high levels that are being recorded. The chemistry is complex and a large number of factors are probably involved, but power lines and other high voltage equipment are certainly among the contributing factors. Even the companies admit that power transmission lines do generate ozone, but they argue that the are small. very amounts city Unfortunately the studies that they rely on are neither definite nor conclusive. The field measurements, for example, were made under lines that were not energized to the full rated voltage. Plans by the Federal Power Commission call for more than 10.000 miles of lines rated 765.000 volts or higher by the year and 1990. A $5 million research development is program perfecting lines that will carry 1,000,000 volts or even up to 2,000,000 volts, yet there is no federal or state that is taking agency responsibility for assessing the safety of these installations. currently in progress, SA Travel Economical transportation The Student Association (SA) Travel Bureau appears to be enjoying a successful first year in its effort to provide students with economical transportation to a variety of destinations. Gary Nadler, director of the Bureau, affirmed that “there has been a lot of student interest in the Travel Bureau.” Its primary function, he said, is to serve students whose needs are “different from anyone else’s.” NYC anyone? One popular feature of the bureau’s service thus far was the inexpensive flights to and from New York City during the Columbus Day and Veteran’s Day weekends. Both group flights were sold out. A third New York flight, during the Thanksgiving holidays, still has a few seats available, while reservations for Christmas vacation will be taken soon Other Christmas packages will include a trip to • ATTENTION Nassau with hotel accommodations for one week, and a round trip flight from Buffalo to Los Angeles. Fort Lauderdale and Caribbean excursions are also in the works for the Easter holidays. European summer Next summer, the Travel Bureau will sponsor charter flights to Europe. Possible benefits students may receive include the International Student I.D. Card (good for discounts to museums, theaters and restaurants), intra-European flights and student rail passes. Hotel accommodations will not be provided, so that students can have the freedom to “go where they want to and when they want to,” Mr. Nadler explained. He also indicated that there have been no problems so far in handling the large number of applicants, crediting much of the Bureau’s success to “following the rules to the latter.” “We are always open to suggestions,” he added.

The Spectrum Page five, . �Editorial Freeze controversy Embracing terror The decision of the United Nations General grant official status to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) as the "sole representative" of the Palestinian people was nothing less than an endorsement of the PLO's open and has ominous policy of terrorism against Israel implications for any hopes for permanent peace in the Middle East. By recognizing an organization that butchered innocent children at Ma'alot, routinely massacred airline travelers at Athens, and openly advocates a policy of genocide against the Jewish people as the complete expression of everything it stands for, the General Assembly has transformed any pretense of its own morality into a cruel joke. While it is essential that the U.N., in trying to find a peaceful solution to the Middle East conflict, provide representation for the 2.8 million Palestinians who are scattered throughout Israel, Jordan, Israeli-occupied lands and other Arab countries, there has been no firm indication that the PLO does in fact represent the Palestinian people. Jordan, with 643,000 Palestinians among its population, has sharply disputed that claim, and it is reasonable to assume that Kuwait, Lebanon and Syria, with a total Palestinian population of 429,000, have currently placed itself under the PLO umbrella for political convenience. There is a very* clear distinction between giving a self-professed terrorist organization access to the U.N.'s forums and granting it de facto membership in the General Assembly. This is not to say that membership in the United Nations has ever been confined to "peace-loving nations," as the U.N. charter expressly states. Too often throughout history, many of its members have represented governments which abdicated their sense of human decency and regard for international law. In fact, the U.N.'s evolution into a debating club-type forum for discussion instead of the world government envisioned by its founders has led some observers to believe that the PLO's inclusion into its discussions will not have that great of an effect anyway. But defining new membership in the United Nations along some kind of structural basis is necessary if any progress is to be made at establishing a world order through international law. As such, the PLO is neither representative of all Palestinians nor are its murderous actions consistent with the principles of the U.N. charter. The question of Palestinian statehood can no longer be answered by the United Nations, but only by a process in which Israelis and Jordanians are intimately involved. And in the meantime, the U.N. has only frustrated chances for world peace by supporting a group that thrives on terror, desires to violate the sovereignty of member states and will not rest until Israel is annihilated. Assembly to — The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. Monday, 11 November 1974 34 Editor-in-Chief — problems which may arise from the investigation. The Student Assembly must be the group to lift the To the Editor. Larry Kraftowitz Amy Dunkin Managing Editor Managing Editor Michael O'Neill Advertising Manager Gerry McKeen Neil Collins Business Manager “Is In regard to your editorial of Friday, Nov. 8, SA Obsolete?” you made an erroneous statement in regard to the freezing of the Athletic Budget. You budget stated ‘‘like freezing the intercollegiate the without even putting a condition on the freeze as did . . . Executive Committee itself As maker of the motion, I made sure that the The freeze would be subject to certain conditions. conditions are as follows: records should be made available concerning any contracts made, making sure that all lines transfers were made legally and with the proper authority, and lastly that an investigation takes place on possible legal grounds that the SA may have concerning the possible misappropriation of funds within the Athletic Dept. Once these conditions are met, the freeze will be lifted, and appropriate steps taken to alleviate any by Scott Salimando SA Executive Vice President To: The Undergrads at the State University at Buffalo. Well, it’s finally happened. On Wednesday, November 6, certain members of our so-called “representative” Student Assembly took the one action that has the potential to destroy Student Association: by a vote of 28-25-2, they decided to immediately freeze the Athletic Budget. Regardless of their reasons for taking this action, I want to tell everyone the effects of this vote: I) It endangers all athletic programs for the coming year. 2) It screws up our negotiations with the Athletic Department in trying to establish priorities for next year’s programs. 3) It opens the Student Association up to costly legal suits for breaking athletic contracts that have already been made. 4) Because of the time SA must spend hasseling over the budgets, it causes many SA projects to come to a standstill (i.e., SCATE, retaining the four-course load; upgrading academic advisement, etc.). 5) It damages the proposal that was devised to increase student and faculty membership on FSA the one organization that controls all campus services and ends our chances of improving food service in the dorms. 6) It serves to destroy all credibility we had developed with the Administration concerning University-wide issues. 7) Most importantly, it threatens to the entire concept of student destroy government by pitting the SA Executive Committee against the Student Assembly.

We as students cannot close our eyes to this situation. We must stand up for what we believe and fight the disregard for student rights and monies. Judith Friedler Student Assembly member Guest Opinion — — freeze, as the motion reads. The purpose of the freeze was to put a check on the parties involved. Many of us feel that alleged misappropriations of funds cannot be covered over and forgotten. We pay $67 with good faith that it will be spent fairly and legally. An “irrational act” is not one of freezing the budget, but an act which Now, why did this happen? I think there are two reasons: (1) A lack of trust in the officers of Student Association, and (2) greed. This first reason, I can understand but cannot accept. That is, I can understand that certain people just didn’t know the amount of time the Executive Committee spent in reviewing student priorities and coming up with a budget. However, after this was explained to them, 1 can’t accept the fact that they still distrust our motives in making up the Athletic Budget. Hell, the Executive Committee wasn’t out to screw students in athletics by fattening the athletic budget! In fact, we had to cut back a hell of a lot of money from athletics in order to make ends meet in the budget. And although we cut this money, we still upheld student priorities by increasing Intramurals and Recreation and Women’s Athletics. What more could have been done? In my opinion, the student body got what it wanted in athletics. Now, the second reason for this asinine vote hits a little closer to home; greed. That is, certain people on the Assembly would literally “rip” the budget to shreds in order to increase their own club. These people couldn’t really give a damn about the rest of the student body as long as they get their money. And in order to get their money, they’ll intimidate and “dance on tables” as much as they can in order to influence Assembly members to vote their way. Unfortunately, this tactic is still working in today’s Assembly. Hell, it makes sense to dance on a table if your budget will be raised $8000! So, given this situation, what the hell is going to happen? I see two alternatives: (1) The Student Assembly will maintain its decision to freeze the Athletic Budget; thus sending SA down the toilet; or (2) the Student Assembly will vote to stop the freeze and decide to support the budget that the Executive Committee submitted to them; thus ending this stupidity and permitting SA to get on with other programs that will benefit everyone (i.e., setting Athletic Budget priorities now for next year’s budget). If you’ve got a head on your shoulders, you will realize that there is only one alternative that makes any sense. If we’re to show any sense of responsibility to the Administration, the Athletic Department, or anyone else, we’re going to have to stop the “Budgetary Circus” that has been permitted to continue for too long. And there’s only one way that it can be done: you are going to have to voice your disgust at this Wednesday’s meeting at 4 p.m. in the Haas Lounge, Norton Union. Come down and bitch a little to the Student Assembly members who affect your money at these meetings. If I can’t talk a little sense into the people who froze athletics, maybe you can. It has to be done. Damn it! It’s already November 11 and the Student Assembly has done little more than look at budgets for seven months! This bullshit has got to stop. It’s time to get ourselves together and decide on priorities for next year. And it’s also time to put a little faith in the members of the Executive Committee who bust their balls trying to represent you to the University community. The day I stop representing you and your interests is the day you can come up to me and kick me out. Until then, I would appreciate your support in this, as well as all SA matters. And I’m sure that the rest of the Executive Committee feels the same way. �Outside Log Greedy Assembly INSTRUCTIONS You will have one hour to complete this exam. Use number 2 pencil only.

The mandatory fee guidelines that we currently operate under were handed down by the Board of Trustees of the State University of New York. These guidelines state that if the President of the particular State University campus or his designee do not approve a budget by the middle of May, then the bursar is not authorized to collect the mandatory fees for the following academic year. Using the power that was granted to the Executive Committee to take action on the budgets if the Assembly is not able to, the Executive Committee “labored” until late at night and for many long hours before that final night to get a balanced budget to the Adminstration for its approval.

For a university this size, I feel that this excuse if unwarranted.

Other organizations besides the Athletic Dept, have over expended in the past, and SA has absorbed it. The Athletic Dept, must be given limited lee-way to work off their debt. Finally, there is some opinion among the adminstration on this campus that the students are fiscally irresponsible. This action by the Assembly, back-tracking on good faith commitments made by their elected officials may very well be viewed by these people as a prime illustration.

Elevators needed To the Editor In the Fillmore building of the EUicott Complex, there is only one elevator leading to the third floor (rooms 351-370). It is usually not functioning until 9 a.m. if at all. (It has been broken for about a week now). This is a bad situation, as I do especially if you have an 8:30 a.m. class five times a week. When you consider that the alternative to the malfunctional elevator is 6 flights of stairs, it ceases to be funny. It is even less funny when you remember that there are senior citizens at U.B. who find it uncomfortable to have to climb so many stairs. And - there are some handicapped students for whom it is even worse. (What do you do, for example, if you happen to be in a wheelchair, and the solitary elevator does not work? Or what if you haVe asthma, etc.? Perhaps there is a reason why the elevator has not yet been fixed. Perhaps a team of maintenence men has already been sent out, and has gotten lost somewhere in the bowels of the complex. But whatever the reason, this is a fairly serious situation, and I feel that some protest should be made to whoever is in charge of such things at EUicott. Helen A.

This myth can be disproven in many ways, but the most striking involves a look into Canada’s biggest sport ice hockey. Even a predominantly white activity such as ice hockey is not immune from the disease of racism. The sport has a valid excuse for being mostly white very few blacks live in Canada, where most of North America's hockey talent comes from. In fact, only three blacks have laced up a pair of skates for a professional game since the sport began. So racism in hockey is rare. Since the underground - - But when it does occur, it sticks out like a sore thumb. On the night of February 18, 1973, a 16-year-old black, Paul Smithers, was engaged in a Mississaugua Midget League contest in Ontario. One of his opponents, Barrie Cobby, had been hurling racial insults at Smithers. Spurred on by the crowd. Cobby challenged Smithers to fight. He also added some unkind words about Smithers’ mother, who was white. After the game, the two met in an alley behind the rink. Smithers had followed Cobby, determined to get either an apology or a fight. He got the latter, but after one punch, Smithers was grabbed by four members of Cobby’s team. Cobby lunged at him and Smithers, instinctively kicked out, hitting Cobby in the groin. Cobby crumpled to the ground. Minutes later, he was dead. According to a New York Times account, “Not one doctor could say with any medical certainty that there was a direct connection between the kick to the and the death of Cobby. A pathologist attributed Cobby’s death to the inhaling of his own vomit, but found no evidence of bodily harm. Dr. William Butt, the Mississauga county coroner, testified that even extreme tension could have caused the vomiting." Despite this, an all-white jury convicted Smithers of manslaughter, and sentenced him to six months in the Brampton Adult Training Center. Was Smithers convicted because he was black? Buffalo's Ed Wright, the only black hockey coach in North America, answered, "I think that had something to do with it. I don't really think that the total conviction was based on the fact that he was black, lie appeared to me to be a victim ot groin circumstance.” Wright could not understand how the jury could have manslaughter in convicted Smithers ol ot the medical view testimony Racist fans Ed Wright, during his playing days at Boston University. Wright played on what was called the UN line, alongside a French Canadian and Korean Herb Wakabayashi, Wright's home town All-American for Boston. pal and an Wright placed the blame tor Cobby s death on both the fans and Cobby. "I would have to say that most of the blame should fall on the fans." In similar situations during his playing career at Boston University, Wright felt the Buffalo hockey coach Ed Wright, left, walks off the ice after a game, alongside his assistant Jim Reaume. It is rare to see black people on the ice as players, much less players did. “It’s unfortunate (outbreaks admitted that he had been by the crowd). It’s go away once you take the skates off. It stays with you.” “We used to play in a league with Detroit,” he went on. “I couldn’t sleep for two nights before we had to play a game in Detroit." Wright ended up with an ulcer operation at the age of 19, largely from worrying about crowd and opposing players’ sentiments. On or off something that doesn’t Trouble with Harvard Another incident occurred when Boston was playing Harvard, In spite of Harvard’s fine academic reputation, they too resorted Harvard goalie liked to slash opposing players as they went by. He tripped Wright, sending him into the boards. Wright got up slowly and the action had already moved down ice. He skated in front of the goalie and flicked his stick in front of the goalie's mask as a warning. The goalie fell to the ice. clutching his Adam’s apple. When no penalty was assessed to Wright because neither official had seen the incident, the crowd was incensed Wright later received a threatening letter from a Harvard dean, and relations between the two schools were strained Years later, the Harvard goalie finally to racial slurs. The coaches. there acting had been no contact. “1 like to think that the only reason the players on the ice were after me was because of my ability,” Wright reflected. Intimidation is a powerful weapon on the ice, and any team that can gain an advantage by this should do so, he claimed, since hockey “is a form of war.” Wright never let what happened on the ice affect him after the game had ended. That’s where he and Smithers differed, and where Smithers made his mistake. in the Thomas Rumfola recounted Times that “if Smithers’ attack on Cobby had occurred during the game, Smithers would have been liable for a five-minute major penalty. Off the ice, he was liable for a term in prison.” Wright eventually turned his color into an advantage. He was hired by Buffalo, partly because he was black, but also because he had excellent qualifications, learning at B.U. under one of the nation’s best hockey coaches. Jack Kelley. But is he the rule or the exception? The day has yet to come when Paul Smithers can be as fortunate. For him, being black took six months from his young life, and left him with a lifetime of guilt. Dissipating football support Volleyball by Bruce Engel Sports Editor The campaign to bring varsity football back to campus took a small step forward Thursday afternoon when a group of about 60 students gathered at Rotary Field to hear three briet progress speeches. the meeting’s organizer and a who played freshman ball at Villanova University last year, was disappointed with the turnout. “1 don’t know why more people didn’t come. A lot of people told us they would, but they didn’t," Lapiana complained. He also mentioned the weather as it was an overcast day with intermittent rain a deterrent to attendance. “I still think we have a lot of support,” he said. Lapiana and his co-organizer, Dave Prouel, are still confident they can bring the sport back, and reported that they will move ahead with several other phases of the campaign. “I’m not giving up on this thing,” Lapiana said in his closing remarks. Pat Lapiana, transfer student — Gotta believe The meeting was kept short, as publicized. After a few minutes of opening remarks by Lapiana, Prouel took the bullhorn and tried to convince the sympathetic audience that a lot of the alleged obstacles in the wav of a return football are really all. The school has equipment, the facilities and the coaches, and the money is available, he insisted, claiming that the alumni would chip in too, and that if the movement got enough support, the Student Association would finance the team as well Despite the poor turnout. Lapiana and Prouel were pleased that the Athletic Department was lending them support. Golf coach Bill Dando, wrestling coach Ed Michael (together with several of his wrestlers), and Athletic Department business manager Dan Daniels were all in attendance. Dando, who was Buffalo’s linebacker coach in the old days, was the third speaker on the program. He mentioned that four years after the program was dropped, he is still receiving letters from high school athletes who want to play football here. “I have to write back and tell them we don’t have a team,” he not there at said. Dando feels a football team is something that could benefit the University in many ways. He also believes that getting a schedule, even for next year, would not be a major problem. Lapiana can foresee the day when Buffalo Bulls football will be really big again, but conceded for the first lime that it would be alright to start on the club level. “1 guess we’ll have to start small,” he admitted. Pat has remarked previously that club football was not worth the effort. Career opportunities Peter Hopkins, Director of Placement for Cornell University’s School of Management, will lecture on “Career Opportunities in Hospital and Health Management, Business Management, and Public Management” Wednesday at 3 p.m. in the Norton Hall Conference Theatre. Jerome Fink, Univeristy pre-jaw advisor, believes that many student are going into law for the “wrong reasons,” and that Mr. Hopkins can make students aware of career opportunities in fields other than law. team faces the first loss of season by Joy Clark Spectrum Staff Writer The Buffalo Volleyball team sustained its first loss of the season to Houghton College. "We didn’t play particularly well," commented coach Cindy Anderson, while “they (the Houghton players) said they played one of their best games.” The match was played at Houghton Academy, a nearby high school in Fillmore, N.Y., because the college’s gym was too small to accomodate a volleyball court. But the Academy’s gym did not meet minimum requirements for a regulation volleyball court either. There was an unusually high number of replays caused by the ball’s bouncing off the beams of the low ceiling. And instead of the regulation six feet behind the server’s line, there was only about one foot, so the serves had to be made in front of the line. “At a gym with good facilities,” Anderson said, “this might have been a different game.” The first game was fairly even until co-captain Joanne Wroblewski served nine straight points, but HOughton then stalled Buffalo with a tight defense that held them scoreless for the rest of the game. “People weren’t up, we weren’t talking and moving,” said Wroblewski about the second game, when Houghton’s defense held up again, Houghton won easily, allowing Buffalo only 5 points in the Thursday night process. Outstanding freshman Anderson cited Shelly Kulp, the only freshman on the team, as the so she lacks power, game’s outstanding player. Shelly is small but according to Anderson, "she makes a lot of good sets and saves. She’s got a lot of potential. The only thing holding her back is her height,” the coach added, “It’ll be nice to have her around for four years.” The loss might determine whether or not the players get into the state tournament, if they come in first or second in the district finals next weekend, they will automatically be entered. If not, Anderson will have to apply to the selection committee for an at-large berth. The committee will judge the team on this year’s and last year’s records, and in that case, this loss could hurt.

He said that funding, governance, and observational research is formulate guidelines for the time-consuming and expensive academic use of the center and has been shown to be a The 20-page report, handed controversial method of-study. out at the beginning of the Senate “You can’t come in and watch session, was criticized for kids play ball,” he told the “twisting data” in an attempt to Senate. The report is “dressed up to rationalize keeping the Center open without pinpointing why it make it spuriously respectable,” deserved to be funded. said Norman Solkoff, professor of Psychology. “You have data ‘What happens?’ which disprove your argument, Moreover, the report neglected but you twist data,” he told the to include details of a proposed subcommittee. Center for the study of Early Dr. Solkoff referred to a Childhood Development (ECD), paragraph which explained a recommendation to extend Senate members claimed. “We hear very little about what childcare facilities to night school really happens there,” said one students attending Millard explained. An appeal by several Senators for further discussion was quashed by Chairman George Hochfield. He Fillmore College (MFC). By providing evening childcare, the University would make itself more accessible to Buffalonians, the report stated. Contradictions But Dr. Solkoff said the statistics cited in the report contradict its conclusions and defeat its purpose. The report quotes a 1973 MFC study in which a random selection of 475 out of 2646 questionnaires led MFC to predict that “there was considerable interest in utilizing an evening childcare facility if one were available [more than 10 percent of the respondents felt it would be of considerable aid to them].” The report also cited a separate analysis of 685 questionnaires in which 97 students indicated that childcare facilities would aid their academic . progress, 497 said it wouldn’t, and 35 said it would make no difference. “The considerable importance that day care would have to over 10 percent of the students should be given serious consideration,” the Day Care report said. Dr. Solkoff later added that he supported the principles of Day Care and he “wanted to see this thing get through.” But he said the report would never pass the The SpECTI^UIVI Vol. 25, No. 33 State University of New York at Buffalo Friday, 8 November said discussion would be appropriate only after the Senate and Executive Committee had studied the report. The flurry of charges against it went unanswered as debate was tabled until next month. Accessibility The subcommittee report was prepared in accordance with a motion passed by the Senate last month which directed the Executive Committee to “examine the issue of Day Care with the intent of finding appropriate ways of supporting the Administration’s effort to maintain the Day Care Center.” The motion was originally .. . proposed by subcommittee and Philosophy professor James Lawler. Dr. Lawler briefly summarized the subcommittee’s findings and recommendations before the Senate. He stressed that the Center’s chairman ability to make the University accessible to parents who otherwise could not attend was an important responsibility. The number of minority group parents utilizing the Center showed that it complied with federal Affirmative Action laws, he said. A high percentage of single and low income parents also use the Center facilities, Dr. Lawler reported, adding that academic use of the Center has been restricted by faculty limitations and a lack of planning by instructors. Stimulation 1974 The proposed ECD would stimulate research and make the Day Care Center a leader in childhood development, Dr. Lawler maintained. The Day Care Center has been trying to secure funds for its continued operation since the beginning of the semester because of a cutback of $29,000 from Sub-Board. In other action, the Senate endorsed Admissions Committee recommendations requiring transfer students to complete at least 12 semester hours of work before applying and begin at least another 12 by the time of application. The Senate also recommended that any transfer student with a 2.S average or less be admitted on condition that he complete their first 24 hours of course work here with at least a C average. Students will be admitted here in order of grade point average. If the students meet these conditions after completing 24 hours of work, they will be granted final admission to the University. If they fail to maintain the C average, they will not be allowed to continue here. Objections Several Senators objected to the proposal because it differentiates between transfers and regularly matriculated students. “Transfer students who drop below a 2.0 average will not be allowed to continue, while regular students who drop below that average will be allowed to continue,” Dr. Lawler said. But “transfer students are different from regular students,” replied Jonathan Reichert, professor of physics. Since we are accepting students on the basis of their grades at another institution, those with less than a 2.5 average should be tested for performance when they transfer here. Dr. Reichert said. The Senate also approved an early admissions program that would admit 25 high school seniors this fall and another 25 the following fall and recommended that the Educational Opportunity Program admit 450 new students next fall, increasing its total enrollment from 1158 to 1300. Subcommittee proposes changes to credit system budgeting purposes, he This would result in fewer faculty lines. Dr. Lawler said. Approval of his recommendations would eliminate the “threat” from Albany, Dr. Lawler believes, while retaining the present system is not worth the financial consequenses. Furthermore, Dr. Lawler feels the credits by Mitchell Regenbogen for emphasized. Campus Editor A special subcommittee of the Faculty Senate Executive Committee recommended Wednesday that the policy of granting four credits for three hours of or the four-course load course work practiced at this University since 1968 be re-evaluated. Three seperate proposals to change the present system of awarding credits were also presented at the Executive - - Committee’s weekly meeting. One resolution adivsed that all three hour courses be reduced to three credits, for “the purpose of restoring minimal equivalence between credit and contact hours,” Fac-Sen Chairman George Hochfield explained in a telephone interview after the closed meeting. The proposal was introduced by Robert Fisk of the Faculty of Educational Studies. A second resolution, offered by Philosophy Professor James Lawler, recommended an increase in faculty contact hours to justify retaining the four-credits-per-course system. This could be accomplished by increasing every hour of class time by IS minutes, resulting in an additional 45 minutes per week, Dr. Lawler said. Equalization As another alternative. Professor Lawler suggested that an extra hour long class be added to every course each week to equalize contact hours with assigned credits. A third proposal by Law Professor Jacob Hyman would make no changes in the present four course/four credit system, accepting the “consequences” from the addition of one hour per course would improve their overall quality. He also suggested that additional class time to be used as discussion periods be made optional for students. Any new credit to the whole system should apply University, rather than only a few Faculties, Dr. Lawler added. Justification Dr. Hochfield feels a joint Faculty-Administration committee should be established to examine accountability and the “justification for the way we give credits.” Bureau of the Budget. Mark Humm, Student Association (SA) Academic Affairs Coordinator, said that the Executive Committee proposals “simplified the issue” and that SA was not ready to take a stand on the Wednesday However, Mr. Humm said SA would issue a statement with a few days. The University Administration had indicated from time to time over the past two years that the Bureau of the Budget in Albany is weary of the four credit system. Executive vice-president Albert Somit explained that when the University upped its courses from three to four credits six years ago, there was no increase in matter. faculty-student contact hours. This gave the impression that “we inflated the value of our credits,” Dr. Somit said. Dissatisfied The Bureau of the Budget might look at our budget more skeptically,” Dr. Somit added. “For better than two years we’ve been telling Albany that the matter is “ under study,” he said. Agreeing with Dr. Somit, Dr. Lawler explained that his proposal was a result of the budget division being “dissatisfied.” If the University does not act soon on the declare” matter, the Bureau will simply that all four-credit courses are worth three “ He also attributed concern over the four course system to the Budget Bureau’s claim that the faculty of the University “doesn’t tell the truth about how much work it does.” Dr. Hochfield admitted that it is difficult to predict how faculty are reacting to the issue, drawing a dividing line between those who support the “rjfprms of ’68” and those who would like to see changes. While Dr. Somit declined to “argue for any particular solution,” Dr. Hochfield called on the Administration to thoroughly explain the budget situation in Albany and advise the faculty on what course of action to follow. “It is unclear what the Bureau of the Budget threatened,” he emphasized. \has �Grad Student Meeting There will be a general meeting of the Graduate Student Employees Union on Friday, November 8 at 3 p.m. in Room 240-248 Norton Union.

Protests, controversy surround Shockley The controversial debating career of physicist William B. Shockley a September resumed this academic year in familiar style cancellation, this time at Cleveland’s Case Western Reserve University. One month later, the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), responding to pressure from a black student group, issued a "non-invitation” to the Nobel Prize-winning electronics expert. Dr. Shockley, a Stanford faculty member, contends that blacks are genetically less intelligent than whites and that people with genetic deficiencies, including low intelligence, should be given government bonuses for undergoing voluntary sterilization. — leaker’s Burea Expert urges women to act wisely in preventing a rape by Amy Dunkin Managing Editor What’s the first thing you should do if you are a woman in danger of being assaulted and raped? Scream? Struggle? Kick the guy in his groin with your knee? The answer is no in almost all cases, according to Frederic Storaska, researcher, consultant, and lecturer on rape and assault. Speaking before a mixed audience in the Fillmore Room Wednesday night, courtesy of the SA Speaker’s Bureau, Mr. Storaska urged that all potential rape victims try to “diffuse the violence” of the attacker by “going along until you see a chance to safely react.” A woman is limited only by False starts For more than a year, Dr. Shockley, who insists he is an expert in genetics as well as electronics, has been attempting to schedule debates between himself and Roy Innis, National Director of the Congress on Racial Equality. But things have never quite worked out. Shockley-lnnis debates last year were cancelled or postponed at the University of Georgia, New York University, Harvard, Princeton, and on four separate occasions at Yale. This September, Dr. Shockley and Mr. Innis actually met on a debating platform at Case Western but discussion was preempted when more than 50 protesters began to chant and blow whistles. The noise didn’t stop until two and a half hours later, when the debate was finally cancelled. At UCLA, the speakers bureau had moved to schedule a debate between the pair, subject to the approval of the school’s Black Students Association (BSA). Such approval was not forthcoming, however. In vetoing the idea, Sam Walton, BSA President, expressed disgust that the speaker’s bureau would even consider asking BSA to co-sponsor such an activity. “It should have been apparent that black students wouldn’t support a man who is a proponent of black genocide,” he said. Arguing that “a primary function of the BSA at UCLA is the -Center promotion of racial pride within the black student community on campus,” Walton explained, “obviously Mr. Shockley doesn’t make her imagination, he stressed. "Do anything weird.” any significant contribution to black pride.” Members of the Progressive Labor Party (PLP) threatened to “shut as long as you understand that it it doesn’t help you, up” any appearance by Dr. Shockley on the UCLA campus.

Friday, 8 November 1974 The woman must therefore prove she represents no threat to her assailant, Mr. Storaska indicated. “In a surprise situation like rape, the only way a weapon is effective if it’s readily available at all times,” he said. Since this is generally not the case, he cautioned that a woman will probably place herself in greater jeopardy if she attempts to use a weapon and fails. Screaming works only 50-55 percent of the time, Mr. Storaska revealed, while struggling may cause two undesirable things to happen: it may sexually entice the man 10-100 times faster than passively resisting, or may force him to beat his victim to calm her down. Mr. Storaska also noted that while the marshall arts are the best means of self-defense devised by man, they are invalid for the masses because few people are willing to spend the time to study them. Smart thinking A key objective in preventing rape is to somehow persuade the rapist not to carry out his intentions without antagonizing him. One way is to try to turn the person off sexually, Mr. Storaska declared, relating that one woman, in a desperate effort to stop her date from raping her in a car, urinated all over him. If a woman’s life is in immediate danger, Mr. Storaska recommended that she gently place her hands on his face and put our his eyes, or reach for the testicles, delicately caress them, and then crush them together. Mr. Storaska informed his listeners that sex can often be used as a powerful weapon. “The woman is the only one who feels the special hell out there. Whatever she chooses to do is right. Just try to stay within the safe limits,” he emphasized. Sometimes, if a woman goes into mild shock and is paralyzed with fear for a while, it gives her brain time to adjust to the situation and poSsibly devise a clever way out, he said. Contrary to many psychologists’ thinking, Mr. Storaska does not believe women want to be raped. “They say rape is the woman’s fault. She is teasing the man. With some men, if you wore snowsutis, you would be teasing a man,” Mr. Storaska said. No matter what a woman is saying or suggesting, she doesn’t deserve rape as a punishment, he commented. An actual experience Mr. Storaska was first introduced to the actual situation of rape ten years ago when he witnessed the brutal rape and assault of a young girl by a gang of teenage boys. He immediately fought off the attackers, but the girl had already been seriously injured. Since then, he has been independently researching the subject. The result of his work will soon appear in a book. How to Say No to a Rapist and Survive. Mr. Storaska also founded the National Organization for the Prevention of Rape and Assault (NOPRA) in 1972. Located in New York City, the Center provides a hot-line for women who want to report or discuss an assault, gathers further research data on the topic and lobbies to change the insensitive laws governing assaults. NOPRA consults with police and campus security units on assault cases, educates men and women as to prevailing attitudes which promote and encourage rape, and stimulates other researchers to study this area. 10 & PIPE SHOP 638-4288 <£> <n Main at Bailey COMING SOON Magazines N.

It enables him the Executive Committee and the to force the Assembly to vote on money already committed. Some something for a second time at Assembly members feel a legal the next meeting, although there case can be made out of this is no stipulation that the voting question. margin must be greater than the SA officials, at one time simple majority that applied to confident of the Assembly, are the original vote. now very down on it. “We are SA President Frank Jackalone approaching the point where we will enact this section in response may have to present these issues to the Assembly’s passage of a to larger student body opinion,” resolution to freeze the budget for Mr. Salimando said, intimating intercollegiate athletics. The that a referendum may be revote will take place at the necessary if the Assembly ” Assembly meeting next Wednesday. “We will know at that time whether we have a program or if we have mayhem,” said SA vice-president Scott Salimando, who termed the 28-25-2 vote for the freeze a “rash action.” “Those people didn’t know what they were doing,” Mr. Salimando added. “1 didn’t hear one specific explanation of what they wanted to cut or why. They just wanted to cut something.” The SA vice-president has become very disgruntled with what he considers the careless actions of the Assembly and the greed of some of the membership who have been trying to get more money for their own organizations. Since outspoken last spring, members several of the Student Assembly and the student community at large including BSD President Larry Williams, who is not in the Assembly but has been a pivotal force anyway, have been critical of the athletic expenditures. They tried to do away with several varsity teams last spring, and their curiousity was aroused this fall because the Athletic Department dropped crew and rechanneled the funds into last year’s deficit. However, it became apparent continues to be irresponsible and unrepresentative. Mssrs. Jackalone Salimando and more worried are even about implications that go beyond athletics. “This could screw us up in many ways,” the former claimed. “A thing like this could student government. destroy We’ve been handcuffed by the budget problem from the start. We haven’t had the time to work on other things.” things Mr. other The Salimando is concerned about are issues like strengthening the student voice in FSA, maintaining the four course load, publishing an effective SCATE. etc. They are worried that student government will not be able to make any headway in these larger issues if it cannot control its own affairs, including a relatively simple thing like a budget. All these budgetary problems, the fear, will make the administration hesitant to give the student government more input in these areas. Mr. Salimando’s fears were nearly confirmed by a simple statement Dr. Somit made yesterday concerning the athletic budget. “Where commitments have been made they will have to be honored. The University’s good name must be retained.” Assembly freezes the entire intercollegiate athletic budget by Mike McGuire Spectrum Staff Writer The Student Assembly froze the entire intercollegiate athletic budget Wednesday including the signing of any new contracts. The freeze, which passed by a vote of 28-25-2, cuts off funds for all athletics except intramurals and recreation. This weekend’s intercollegiate games were exempted. However, SA President Frank Jackalone said after the vote that he would veto the action. The SA president has the power to send back legislation to the Assembly for a revote. The freeze takes effect immediately, pending the veto, and will last until the Assembly receives a breakdown on contracts already signed by the Athletic Department. The Student Association Executive Committee must now look into possible legal action against the Athletic Department for an allegedly unauthorized transfer of funds. — The transfer involved the crew team, which was dropped by the Athletic Department last summer. However, prior to Wednesday’s meeting, the line had not been deleted from the active athletic budget passed by the Executive Committee last spring. Speaking about the deletion, which was passed Wednesday, Assembly member Dave Chavis asked if this money was being used, without SA authorization, to pay off part of the Athletic Department’s $18,000 deficit from last year. None of the Executive Committee members present was certain how the money was being used, if at all. Dropped but not dropped However, SA was informed during the summer that the sport was dropped by the Athletic Department, and neither party moved at that time to deduct the figure from the total athletic budget. This presumably led the department to believe it could use the money as they saw fit. The department claimed that crew was dropped because of a deficit that had to be made up from last year. The Assembly freeze came two weeks after the Executive Committee threatened to freeze the - PHILIPS intercollegiate budget if transfers that decreased the lines for intramurals and recreation were not restored to the original level passed by the Executive Committee. The changes were documented in a revised budget presented by the Athletic Department this fall. If the original budget lines were not restored by November 11, Mr. Jackalone had promised to freeze the budget himself. The debate over the athletic budget arose several meetings ago, when attempts to transfer funds from funded groups Athletic Department to other SA caused several Executive Committee members to respond that the athletic budget had already been committed to contracts. Since the active budget had been passed by the Executive Committee but not yet approved by the Assembly, this revelation enraged some Assembly members. When they persisted in trying to reduce the athletic budget, Executive Committee members warned that the University administration could veto this change. Futile discussion During the often raucous meeting, constant reference was made to the futility of trying to change the budget if the administration can veto such a change. SA members also debated the legality of the contract signed by the Athletic Department. Larry Williams, President of the Black Student Union, claimed that they were signed in violation of SA regulations, and therefore were not binding, while Howard Schapiro, Student Affairs Coordinator, said the SA constitution states that an Executive passed budget is legal until the Committee Assembly changes it. Thus, claimed Mr. Schapiro, contracts signed under the original budget would be binding even if the Assembly were to change the budget at this time. In other business, the Assembly approved several portions of the budget, including salaries, travel, and transportation lines related to SA and SASU. The allocation for Sub-Board was tabled until the Assembly receives a breakdown of its $281,200 budget. - NOVEMBER CLASSICAL SPECIAL Relax and enjoy the Fall with the world's greatest recordings PRE-HOLIDAY SPECIALS List $23.95 NOW! * 'll" 114.87 Anwlinf.

Smith, Professor of Biology, believes that there are four kinds of University professors: nincompoops with charm; nincompoops with no charm; compoops (the opposite of nincompoop) with charm; and cumpoops with no charm. He explained this theory in a lecture, “The Nincompoop Matrix,” delivered at the freshman induction meeting of the Alpha Lambda Delta/Phi Eta Sigma honor society Monday in 339 Norton. In a light-hearted manner, Dr. Smith concerned himself with the question of “whether or not students can, in any good sense and good taste, evaluate their professors reliably.” He began by saying that the subject has been hotly debated for many years, and in at least one case has led to the resignation of a high university official over the suggestion that student evaluations of faculty at his university were to be published. — “Dr. Burger seems to have lost track of time,” Dr. Smith said. “His sentences generally began with, ‘This is how it was in the old days..and his lecture subject matter ranged from Eskimo seal-hunting to homo sapiens society (this was a business course)... Rumor has it that at the end of the semester the class voted to change the title of the course from ‘Business Law’ to ‘Burger’s Travels’ . .” .

FORT ERIE body." Smith demonstrated that students to (adjacent Canadian Customs at the Peace Bridge) on both high and low “quality of mind” levels generally evaluated professors consistently. The noncompoops who lack charm receive an "F" rating from all the students, and the compoops with charm got an “A” from all. The only deviations are slight ones in regard to the charming nincompoop, who rates a “D” from the higher level of students and a “C” from the lower ones. In contrast, the compoop with no charm manages a “C” from the lower level of students and an “A” from the more perceptive ones who appreciated his competence. & Dr. Smith also cited the evaluations of students in “another university in another (no cover charge or admission) time,” in particular the case of a certain Dr. Burger, who, on a scale of 1 to 5 was given ratings of between 2.5 and 3.0 by his students. George's Special Egg Foo Yong, L Dr. Smith feels that evaluations of professors do take the form of gossip and hearsay, but should be brought out into the open anyway. The question, he said, is not whether such evaluations should take place, but whether they are reasonable and should be published. In Dr. Smith’s “Figure 1,” a graph illustrating the range of “quality of mind,” he avoided using the word “intelligence” (which he feels has no meaning) of students on one line, and of professors on apother. Theoretically, the “quality of mind” of a professor could actually fall below that of 50 percent of the class. Such a professor (“a nincompoop”) can rise to his position by “ambition, all sorts of perseverence . accidents,” Dr. Smith said. The other factors involved in determining the quality of an instructor-patience, friendliness, understanding, and so on lumped into the category of “charm” by Dr. Smith. The trouble with students’ evaluating their professors is that students too, can be at any point in the range of “quality of mind,” and there is the reasonable fear that a student of minimal ability would give his professors a distorted evaluation. — _ JULIE’S presents Live music every Friday Saturday nite!

They know that the cost of education today is reaching deeper and deeper into the pockets of the students and their families, and they recognize the right of the public to demand as high a level of teaching as possible.

Representatives from 130 nations are meeting to debate and offer solutions to the food crisis. Many of the participating countries have criticized the United States for having an “unrealistic attitude” about the problems. American officials have tended to play down the immediacy of the shortage, a belief characterized by a recent speech by U.S. Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz in which he stated, “We are not in a food crisis, either in this country or in the world.” Attitudes such as these, coupled with the fact that the United States is the major food exporter in the world, have led Senator Hubert Humphrey to term prospects for the conference “bleak.” According to Mr. Humphrey, Mr. Butz’s main interest is in “stimulating commercial exports.” 9 overshadow any genuine concern for the world food situation. According to Senator George McGovern, more than half of last year’s Food for Peace shipments went to South Vietnam and Cambodia instead of more needy nations.

The UMW is reportedly seeking a settlement at least equal to the three-year 38 to 42 percent wage and benefit increase won by steelworkers earlier this year. UMW proposals include sick pay and cost-of-living provisions that would increase the coal industry’s labor costs by nearly 50 percent. Coal miners currently earn from $41 to $51 a day. Negotiations, which started Sept. 3, were curtailed temporarily last Monday when UMW President Arnold Miller protested a BCOA counterproposal. “With what they’ve handed us, he said, “they’ve declared a strike in the coal fields.” But W.J. Usery, Jr., director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, later obtained an agreement between the two parties that brought them back to the bargaining table. Strike atmosphere Fearful of the pro-strike mood, the UMW management is believed reluctant to make its best offer now because of the possibility that the workers might go on strike anyway and force them to come up with a more costly settlement. A strike seems inevitable because of the new system instituted in the UMW by which any new contract must be ratified by the union members, themselves, a process expected to take at least 10 days to carry out. And the workers have indicated they will not return to work without a contract. gem; g metol' 1053 elmwooa ovenue/boHolo, 886-1300 Spinning • Statistics The doomsday-like statistics that prompted the conference read something like this: One third to one half of the world’s people go to bed hungry every night.

Now $99*95 «i299s Effects A short strike should not cause serious disruptions to the economy, but a walkout lasting more than two weeks could have a very serious impact A recent government report estimated that a long strike could put 200,000 workers out of work by the end of the month. The railroads, automobile and chemical industries, electrical utilities and the steel industry all heavily dependent on coal would be the first to feel the effects of a strike Officials of the two local steel plants, Bethlehem and Republic, said a long strike could have “drastic” effects on their operations, which together employ 16,000 persons. Like most other industries, Bethlehem Steel has stockpiled some coal, though they refuse to disclose how much and how long it would last. A spokesman for General Motors, which operates plants in Tonawanda, Buffalo and Lockport, said a strike may hurt some of their suppliers and thereby cause a production slowdown. Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. has prepared for the possibility of a coal shortage by building up a 90-day reserve supply, an increase over its usual 60-day supply. — — Choose from five colors! e saitee e sun tour derailleurs e stem e hi e chrome fork stays - - - lever's shifters pressure tires Hike & Bike 3250 Main St. 837-0240 Open daily at 10 am.

Student Assembly's decision to freeze the intercollegiate athletic budget may well have been a hasty and careless display of emotionalism, but its action is understandable in light of what has happened to student governance at this University. Last year, many students joined the Assembly with the expectation of playing a significant role in determining how $800,000.00 in mandatory fees would be distributed. When frustration over allocating the largest hunk of student fees to intercollegiate athletics caused disruptions at the budget literally ran out on the Assembly, hearings and tir hopeful that they would have the were still representatives to review and propose changes in in September opportunity Executive Committee. But while budget passed by the the merely attempting to perform their constitionally-mandated function of reviewing the budgets during the past few weeks. Assembly members were suddenly confronted with a barrage namely, that the of hitherto unknown practical realities Athletic Department must sign contracts for intercollegiate sports well in advance of the actual season, and had done so during the summer. the It was this entire frustrating sequence of events expectation spring, the lack of time to review budgets in the of reviewing them in the fall, the violation of this expectation because of contractual regulations, and the generally negative feeling toward intercollegiate athletics that gave the Assembly no recourse but to force the issue. Practically speaking, a case can be made for SA President Frank Jackalone's decision to veto the freeze involving Student Association in an endless legal and financial entanglement while it is attempting to strengthen student representation on the Faculty-Student Association, win respectability in academics and justify the existence of the student mandatory fee could prove a costly proposition. But we must question whether the problem is a practical one or whether it is actually a matter of principle; that is, should SA, in the interests of political expediency, continue to evade an issue that has clearly provoked the ire of many The — — — - students. The fact that 28 members of the Student Assembly were angry enough to take an emotional and impractical step like freezing the intercollegiate budget, without even putting a condition on the freeze as the Executive Committee itself did two weeks ago, acutally reflects a far more serious the increasing problem than a skirmish over a few dolars obsolescence of student government. What is most disturbing of all is that, in seeking to justify the speedy passage of the original intercollegiate allocation, Mr. Jackalone and others on the Executive Coommittee have continually made reference to the fact that no matter what the Assembly decides. President Ketter still has final authority in the matter. While that may in fact be the case, there is nothing more appalling to members of the Assembly then to hear SA officers expound the universal futility of opposing the administration, especially when they claim to represent students. In freezing the intercollegiate budget, then, the Assembly was not reacting against the Athletic department's $3,000 line transfer for crew as much as it was venting its absolute disgust with what it considers SA's burgeoning elitism and hesitation to confront the administration to avoid political casualties elsewhere. Whatever the outcome, Student Association must begin reordering next year's budgetary priorities now if it is to avoid stumbling over the same stone twice. Mr. Jackalone would be wise to begin working to establish a mechanism whereby every student's funding preferences can be discerned by next spring, even if it means making class registration next semester contingent upon filling out a survey research-type funding preference form. It is time we found out exactly how each student feels about intercollegiate athletics, WNYPIRG, and other organizations instead of having to rely on the approximations of SA officers who claim intimate knowledge of student priorities even though they are annually elected by less than one-tenth of the student body. But determining priorities will mean nothing if SA does not act to ensure that there will be more than enough time for the Student Assembly to scrutinize the budgets next time around, even if it means holding budget hearings every day for an entire month. If SA is to regain some measure of viability and become truly representative of students, drastic now. changes are in order '"Washington rapidly, the device automatically shouts “pull up, pull up,” and flashes a red “Terrain” sign in the College Press Service pilot’s face.

But when the spectators become part of and influence those forms, they deserve to have the lens focused on them. Smile, you're on Candid Camera. Let's put it another way. Some people think that “art," "entertainment," and "aesthetic experience," et al, can be measured in pounds and ounces, dollars and cents, hours, minutes and seconds. ("Let's see now. I spent $7.00 for this ticket, and Van Morrison played for a total of about an hour and ten minutes, not counting exits and entrances, that's 70 into $7.00, carry the ten, that's ten hm. Was it cents a minute or $1.00 per ten minutes — worth it?"). A cappella The Persuasions, a five man a cappella group, opened the show. It is a credit to their talent that the crowd actually got into them. It's not easy to maintain interest with nothing but voices and a headliner like Van looming in the distance. They started their act by explaining and performing the roots of their kind of a cappella: gospel and blues emanating from the cotton fields and the chain gangs, then followed through to the most recent manifestation: the songs of the heavily vocal oriented groups from Mercury and Motown. Between the five of them, they covered all the musical bases; Jimmy Hayes, the bass, Jayotis Washington singing fref lance falsetto, Jerry Lawson and Herb Rhoad doing the rhythm section and Joseph Russell on lead. There were out-of-tune moments, but they were very infrequent, especially considering the demanding nature of their performance. Although the Persuasions sang in a variety of styles, they seemed most at home inside the '50's and early '60's stuff; doing songs like "The Ten Commandments of Love" and "Beauty's Only Skin Deep," they were at their tightest and seemed to be enjoying it the most. The set was very well timed, performed with few mistakes and a great deal of polish and energy. the sound itself contorted his face and body. But as soon as he was silent, his face assumed a blank, mask-like expression. Where was all that emotion coming from? Was he an instrument, too, being played by some other, larger force? Sometimes Van's voice was so powerful that it seemed out of kilter with the thin back-up. It needed the matching power of a much larger band. Morrison is a complex and sophisticated musician/songwriter. Unfortunately, the songs of his that become most popular are the ones with the best or the catch phrases: "Domino," "Brown-Eyed Girl," etc. Even more unfortunately, although the audience was enthusiastic and wildly applauded everything he did, they seemed to lack interest in his more subtle stuff. As a nobody seemed to recognize (or matter of fact, acknowledge) anything he did. Actually, there was only one thing on most people's minds, and no matter what songs he performed and no matter how good they were, some schmuck had to yell out "MOONDANCE" at the beginning and end of every song. by thr who Thr >f Mr thr*' gggrrrRRRRrrr . .

The intellectual, the subtle, abandoned to a degree to the gut emotional is that what he had planned? We'll never — " - . .. . — know. Van ended with a new song, "It's Not The Twilight Zone." It was beautifully staged and a change from the unshqwy quality of the rest of the act. Another mellow jazz number, the trio was perfect for it. The band played, black silhouettes against blue-purple backlighting. Van walked away from the mike and began to sing: "It's not the twilight zone . ."

Van came out. He looked strange; strangely out of place in a rock palace; simply dressed in no particular style; a windbreaker, hair shortish, a protest brown horn-rimmed glasses, tight bellbottoms singer from the early '60's? the little punk down the street?

He was up to it, but I still can't help feeling that he could have been better still if there was a lead guitarist to take some of the pressure off. And Morrison's whole music trip is very dependent on dynamics, energy, the relationship of extremes. The trio worked fine on songs like "Who Was That Masked Man;" a slow mellow song with a falsetto vocal. But on certain numbers, the sound "Wild seemed to lack the expected and necessary drive Nights," especially, was very empty without the blaring brass section. - — - Moondance Something else that was very jarring but nevertheless fascinating was Van's delivery.

Someone yelled out "then it must be the ozone!" Van quipped, "... ozone cologne . . . it's not the twilight zone . . .," then slowly got up and leisurely pranced offstage. Moondance "Listen To the Lion" is a good example of the audience participation. "And all my love come tumbling down Listen to the lion inside of me." The song is a delicate interweaving of those two opposing themes: gentle love and the underlying violence. After the initial vocal exploration of the lyrics the gentle-sweet to harsh-searing to sullen and around song goes into an extended break. The back-up keeps playing the chords (as Van said, "this is a basic one-four with no sevenths"), and Van begins to growl (like a lion, of course).

For the rest, well, they finally got what they wanted. Did they want it so badly that they probably missed all the great stuff that went down before it? Did they get their money's worth?

The layout seemed more like a discount store than an exhibition, but the price tags echoed Tiffany's, not Twin Fair. The Preview of the Member's Gallery Collection 74-75 at the Albright-Knox, revealed that art, along with everything else, has turned into a business and not a very fair one at that. A store-like atmosphere brought attention to the price tags and the status of a famous artist's name, rather than artistic qualities (or their lack). Very few of the works were hung up, the majority resting below knee-level on the floor, making the viewer who cared to study the works crouch uncomfortably Perhaps that was the whole point; no one was expected to study a piece, just to glance quickly and buy it up. A — mortis. In the final analysis, two things to the credit of The Abdication (now at the Evans and Holiday 6 theatres) must be noted; it is less than two hours long, and it is less painful than being run over by a truck. I especially enjoyed the part when I went to — Five-and-ten-hundred store But this is where the injustice lies: who can afford to dish out $4,500 for a painting or $650 for a print? Certainly not the average citizen. The price may be fair for the artist and for the New York galleries who established the prices and receive a good chunk for their commission, but they are not fair to the public. The small percentage who are wealthy can buy the works, but what about the middle- and lower-income groups? Don't they have the right to enjoy the experience of living with a work of art? Glancing at works in a museum is a totally different experience from having a piece of art in your home, where it becomes an essential part of your environment. And an actual work of art, that lives and breathes, gives off vibrations that dime-store reproductions could not begin to do. Is this experience to be reserved "for the rich only?" When contemporary artists turned to printmaking, where an original work of art of fine quality is created and processed in quantity, an answer to this problem seemed imminent. Editions are often made out in quantities of one or two hundred, allowing many individuals to purchase the same work. Unlike a reproduction, a print is the actual medium the artist uses to realize his ideas, and it is often hand-signed, with the entire process overseen by the artist. It is an actual, full-blooded work of art; not a dead facsimile. Unreasonable advantage Business has taken advantage of this situation by placing unreasonable price tags of $400 and up on the prints, creating an incredible profit if the artist sells all or even half of the edition. In an edition of 150, with each print averaging about $300, the artist stands to make $45,000! No wonder prints are becoming popular among artists and galleries. That's much more than an artist could make if he did just one painting. The injustice is incredible, for with those prices the average individual is left out, while the rich can gobble up the goods. If high quality prints by fine contemporary artists like those in the exhibit were priced in the $25 $50 range, more individuals could purchase them. The artists wouldn't lose money, but would profit. So would the spirit of the human race. Albright-Knox is to be commended for seeking a compromise to this problem by allowing individuals to rent a work for a small monthly rate ($4 $20). Vet, this privilege is reserved for members of the Gallery, and unless one is willing to pay the $25 ($12.50 for students) membership fee, the same problem and injustice arises again. The answer is not to be found at the Albright-Knox, but at the New York and Toronto galleries who establish the prices. If they would stop seeing just green cash in art and reduce the prices of prints, more people of all backgrounds could experience art the way it was meant to be experienced; as an integral part of one's environment and life. - — — — Kotr buy popcorn. — 'Mixed Company' David Even tt Middle-class comedy epic The night I attended a showing the new comedy Mixed Company, there were about 10 of other people in the entire theater. The management had apparently gotten nervous and had placed the movie as a second feature. The main feature was Skyjacked. a plane-disasterstewardess-pilot-lover picture that appeared somewhere between Airport and the current Airport 1975 and the theater people were cashing in on the latter's — success. They had a right to be nervous, though. Mixed Company is the kind of film in which women go to bed beautifully coiffed, are never seen doing housework, and manage to solve crucial problems while the doorbell rings. It deals with a middle-class married couple a loud-mouthed, seemingly but-a-good-guy-underneath-it-all basketball coach (Joseph Bologna), his compassionate, understanding spouse (Barbara Harris) and the adjustments and difficulties involved when they decide to adopt troubled children (They already have three children of their own). When I became aware of the fact that Melville Shavelson (responsible for such movie gems as The Seven Little Foys, A New Kind of Love, Cast a Giant Shadow, etc.) had directed this film, I didn't expect much, but I really wasn't prepared for this epic-sized Brady Bunch either. Billed as “a grownup family comedy," the film is at a level of sophistication at which profanity and nudity are used for cute — unfeeling shock value a shower room scene, for instance, has the camera dwell on the naked backside of a mannequin-like blonde jock. Shavelson tips us off that a kid has problems by having him enter the film framed by metal bars. He also uses such antiquated devices as slow-motion and a sportscaster on TV "unintentionally” commenting on the action of a scene. And the cinematography has a blurry orange quality that makes the entire film look as though it were shot through a jar of peach jelly. — - BUSES TO THE HOCKEY GAME Saturday, Nov. 9th leave at 6:15 from Tower end of Norton Hall or Ellicott {-~The LARGEST-*—.

Prodigal Sun �Come back, Shirley Booth Sterling's 'Sheba'—stunned stage at any moment, by Ranch Schnur As Doc (the puritanical chiropractor whom Lola Arts Editor When Shirley Booth and the Theatre Guild first presented Come Back, Little Sheba William Inge's first play to be produced in New York the new York Drama Critics' Circle proclaimed the author "the most promising new playwright of 1950," a sentiment that was to be echoed three years after that initial success by the committee which awarded him the Pulitzer Prize for Picnic, his second effort. Now, 24 years later, Sheba is just as powerful a — — , recreation of loneliness, desolation, and the frustration of a lower-middle-class who once aspired to better things. But while the play itself is stunning, the cast of Studio Arena's new production, from the semi-hysterical Jan Sterling on down, seems mostly stunned. The play deals with the efforts of Lola Delaney, a frumpy, middle-aged, naive Midwestern housewife, to somehow keep herself going in a world in which she has no place. While her husband Doc, a college drop-out who drowned his medical dreams in alcohol and a career as a chiropractor, spends his days at the office and his evenings at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, Lola looks to the milkman, the mailman ("If you don't have something for me today. I'll have to get me a new postnian"), and the boyfriends of her pretty boarder Marie for an antidote to her Marcel Marceau If you think there's more to mime than Marcel Marceau, then you'll enjoy Mummenxhanz, a Swiss mime-masque theatre group performing Sunday evening, November 10, at 8:30 p.m. in the auditorium of Amherst Junior High School. The appearance of this unusual group is sponsored by the University's Office of Cultural Affairs and the UUAB Drama Committee. Coming out of the classic "white face" tradition, yet realizing its limitations, the group seeks to break the convention of white face the concentration on facial expression and creation of the illusion of — specific objects. The Delaney's only child was born dead very after their shotgun marriage, and Lois tries to lavish her unclaimed affections on every living creature who ventures within a mile of her usually empty house. Even her beloved puppy Sheba, presumably the least likely to get fed up with this slightly batty busybody, deserts her. But just as she can't stop dragging deliverymen into her living room for a cold glass of water and a friendly little chat, Lola refuses to stop calling Sheba the symbol of her lost youth, lost baby, lost hopes to come back — — home once more. Lola is one of Inge’s most heart-nsnding creations. Her unhappiness nearly paralyzes her. When Mrs. Coffman (the self-righteously fertile neighbor who swears by her maxim that "being busy is being happy") surveys the results of the woman's first attempt in years to clean the house, she exclaims, "I didn't know you had it in you! I always said to myself, 'That Mrs. Delaney, she's a real Planning a gala dinner for good-for-nothing.' Marie's fiance (ultimately a failure, like virtually everything she and Doc attempt), Lola confides, "I thought Td set my table real early . . that way I can look at it all day." - " . Over-energetic Such occasional spurts of manic energy are necessary to keep depression from overwhelming her but Jan Sterling's shrill, frenetic Lola, entirely who can just barely sit still for 30 consecutive seconds, seems to overstate the case. Her childishly extreme romanticism comes across very well when Doc (whom she patronizes and yet worships, treating him as god and infant simultaneously) hands her a card during a begged-for card trick, she studies it as if it were her first love letter but the rest of her neurosis is incredibly overblown. Nervous, unpretentious little Lola suddenly appears as a high-pitched hysteric who seems ready to fly off the Three consecutive offerings from the Department of Music this weekend: Today at 8 p.m., the first Composers Workshop concert of the *74/'75 academic year will take place — Hall.

The scenes all have a tendency to run down at the end; the actor speaking the final line seems almost to fade out, and the lights go down before we have a chance to react. Blackouts for scene changes are, of course, a necessary fact of theatre life, and we learn to ignore them; but hearing words swallowed while their speaker disappears gives us an annoying feeling of disjointedness which certainly does not help the overall sense of a play. Studio Arena's Sheba is worthwhile because Inge's play is more than that. He can easily transcend the mistakes of everyone else involved but why — should he have to?

Mummenscham, whose name derives from medieval mummers, wears masks and flexible body wrappings in their act. One never sees the performers' faces. Wha they produce has been compared to Cubism and the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch and Paul Klee. Widely acclaimed for its humor and unconventional approach to an ancient art, the program focuses on human development from the single cell to the primates, and on human communication. The group makes its own masks, props and costumes, using pastry, clay, plaster, paper, foam, wood and even oatmeal. At one point they attach slide puzzles to the masks which allow them to change expressions with the move of a puzzle piece. They also use scratch pad masks, enabling them to draw different expressions on one another, in what they call a "comic strip technique." Appealing to all ages, the highly original form of Mummenscham's program first achieved fame outside of Switzerland in 1971 at the International Festival of Mime in Prague. The following year they performed during the famed summer festivals in Avignon, France, and in 1973 toured for the first time in North America.

Tickets available at Norton and other Harvey and Corky outlets. Dave Mason-Robin Trower This Saturday night, UUAB will be presenting artists who have their roots in old, established supergroups: Dave Mason and Robin Trower. Mason started out with Traffic, and is responsible for some of their most well known and loved classics: "Feeling Alright" and "Perly Queen," for example. By now, he is equally well known for his solo attempts; most notably Alone Together. Mason has been in a creative slump for a long time (about three years,) but it appears that he has finally come out of it. He has just released a promising new album (see Records ) and will probably perform the new material in concert, as well as some of the old two favorites. Robin Trower built his reputation as the lead guitarist of Procol Harum. Trower was with Procol in their early days, when they were at their most brilliant and creative (ie, their first three Ips.). Trower was already a stunning blues guitarist, but his Studio Arena meets voucher cancellation The proverbial Catch-22 has apparently resurfaced, and is now the Studio Arena Theatre. attempting to capture another victim The web in which Studio Arena is entangled was spun by what started out to be a valiant attempt at providing low-price tickets for community and student groups to cultural events through an organization called Arts Development Services (ADS). The discounts were good for a variety of cultural performances including dance, theatre, and music. Any person included in one of the groups outlined by ADS could purchase ticket vouchers at savings of up to 50 per cent. The vouchers are later turned in by the participating organizations to ADS for reimbursement. — Too good to last The program was a great success, but problems arose when ADS was swamped by voucher requests and could no longer meet the demand For Studio Arena this meant that people who did not already have vouchers could not attend performances at reduced prices. To remedy the situation, Sandy Klein, who is in charge of audience development at the Theatre, is offering a reduced price package deal for students. Uder the plan, tickets for the seven remaining shows of the season will cost $17.50, a reduction from the original price of $30 to $40. The available seats are for evening shows and are located in Section C, the first seven rows toward the sides. Matinee tickets are sold on a general admission basis. Ticket information can be obtained at the Norton Union and innovative use of noise and dissonance within the context of the group are what made him truly unique. Since leaving the group, he has chosen to become one of a group of musicians dedicated to carrying on the Hendrix tradition. But unlike the (for example. Mahogany Rush), who merely imitate, Trower has taken the forms Hendrix created and continued to explore their artistic possibilities. rest This is the first concert UUAB has presented at the Century this semester. The theater if really the perfect size for this kind of show, and unlike most Century concerts these days, the price is right: $4.00. That's Saturday night at 8 p.m. at the Centu y.

The arrangements on this album are distinctively Mason's the same Mason of Headkeeper yet many and Alone Together of the songs could almost have been written by Stevie Winwood. Mason's music is a mixture of rock, jazz and blues, the latter — - two tempered by the former. Rock is the medium, the channel, the filter for Mason. There is a regular pulsating rhythm; a fast and moving beat artistically manipulated into the distinctiveness of his sound; a brilliant fusion of the electrifying Which brings me to Mason's ability at guitar. His finesse is just incredible. At once so tight, so flowing. It's the kind of quality you can pick up on through careful listening, and which is to be found on a good number of the cuts on this album, but it's something else altogether to watch. Utterly captivating. You've really got to see him play in order to fully appreciate the mastery of the man. (The opportunity will be at hand Saturday night at the Century Theatre.) Mason may be a master craftsman when it comes to rock, but his soul lives amid the blues and the jazz which emerge every so often from behind the melody line and the steady beat. And when they do, you can really see what Mason is about and where his genius lies. Back to the album. If you've liked Mason's music up to now, you'll like this, too. It's perhaps a little softer, a little mellower than some of his others, and certainly not as intense as Headkeeper, for tension of the isolated staccato with the warm sensuality found in the flowing melody. This manipulation is accomplished in part by Mason's flawlessly controlled vocals and the example. ''Pearly Queen" might penetrating clearness of his voice. be a little out of place here.

For Mason or for anyone like him, the jazz and blues, although there, remain pretty much below surface level.

And I know it's there, because I've seen it at work at live performances, and heard it, insnatches, on this and other albums. Perhaps I'm being over-critical, because from anyone else this new album would be more than just acceptable, but I have the feeling that Mason's got more to give than he does here.

Prodigal Sun �RECORDS Rolling Stones, It's Only Rock 'N Roll (Atlantic) "Mick dagger always wanted to be a Beetle" John Lennon interview. Rolling Stone At first I thought that was a tremendous put-down, but when I thought about it, I realized that I always wanted to be a Beatle too. So it can mean whatever you want it to mean, and then again you can also be whatever you want to be. And if Mick dagger wants to be a Beatle, then I feel sorry for him. Now you can take that as a tremendous put-down, but then you'd be missing the correlation between feeling sorry and sympathy. Mick Jagger has my sympathy. Of course John Lennon always wanted to be Bill Haley, but nobody ever says that. All that matters is the 'here and now.'

Some notable examples in the last few years are Harold Melvin and the Blue-Notes, Freda Payne, and The Main Ingredient, among others. But not the Philadelphian Stylistics. Originally produced by the near-genius of Thom Bell, and now by Hugo and Juigi, the Stylistics have managed to score with hit after hit with basically the same formula. Their lead singer, Russell Thompkins, has one of the best falsettos this side of the great Temptations' Damon Harris. Thompkins uses his voice to glide and shriek over the lushness of the complex instrumental tracks, and he shines on Heavy, the group’s second album without Thom Bell, with nine tracks of soft, sweet, and middle-of-the road soul music. The single from the album, "Heavy Failin' Out," is probably the best single the Stylistics have ever put out. It's an up-tempo number with the words "Heavy Failin' Out" repeated over and over by Thompkins, and it's the kind of song that grows on you after each listening. The length of the song, five minutes and 18 seconds, is unusually long for a soul single, but it never lags; in fact, it seems to get better and better as it continues. "Heavy Failin' Out" introduces for the first time on a Stylistics single the famous call and response technique used so successfully by Motown in the 1960's Thompkins' constant calling out of "heavy-y-y-y" and the response of the other members of the quintet results in a beautiful piece of harmony. The album also features the talents of the other members of the Stylistics more than any of their previous albums. In the past, only Thompkins, the lead singer, sang lead, but on this album on only five of the tracks does Thompkins sing a solo lead. The opening cut of the album (what I imagine was intended as a sort of followup to the million-selling disk of last summer, "You Make Me Feel Brand New"), "The Miracle," features the counter styles of Russell's falsetto and Airrion Love's rich baritone. The two voices, though vastly different in both range and style, manage to complement each other very well when they sing alternate verses. This album gets boring at times, however, and it seems fairly obvious that at least three tracks are just "filler cute," songs that were put together just to have enough material to put out an album, and "Heavy Failin' Out," "The Miracle," and they sound it. Three tunes "From The Mountain," are good single material, so the album will most likely be a big seller on the national charts. The closing song, "From the Mountain," is the group's first try at social comment since the epic classic of 1972, "People Make The World Go Round." "From The Mountain" is perfect for Thompkins, because his high voice sifts and slides through the lyrics beautifully. After listening to him for more than five years, I am still amazed by his voice. The album on the whole is good. Although some cuts are not up to Stylistics' the usual caliber, the good songs more than make up for the poor ones. The Stylistics seem to be just about nearing their peak both artistically and commercially, and all Stylistics' fans or just soul music lovers will find "Heavy Failin' Outt" well worth purchasing.

The new Harris poll on Nelson Rockefeller shows that 44 percent believe he should be confirmed, while 38 percent oppose the confirmation. But this statistic sits oddly near another one produced by the same poll of the very same people. Only 25 percent of those asked wanted to see Rockefeller become President, while 60 percent do not want him to occupy the White House. Why the contrast? People are willing (by a slim margin) to make a Vice President of the man they oppose (by a wide margin) for the presidency itself. Part of the pro-confirmation feeling may be more supportive of Ford, who did the nominating, than of Rockefeller, his nominee. Other misgivings may come from Rockefeller’s age. But most of them obviously derive from his money and that is not necessarily a foolish prejudce. I talked recently with one of the principal writers on the “America at Mid-Century” project put out by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund in the fifties. This writer had listed, among the given factors in some report or other, the privilege that great wealth grants certain men. Nelson Rockefeller summoned him the very next day after this report was submitted, kneaded his arm and his ego for a while in the Rockefeller manner, and then asked, with great sincerity: “But tell me how could you possibly claim that wealth grants privilege in our society? Let me tell you, I have a great deal of wealth myself, and it has not made things easier for me The horrible thing is that he believed it. He said something like this in his report to the Senate committee on his nomination. The rich like to believe that their riches just impose extra burdens; this soothes the conscience of secularized Calvinists like the Rockefellers. But once they have divorced themselves from reality in that respect, other self-deceptions follow naturally. The argument that rich men should rule since they cannot be bribed has been around for a long time. It was often used in Victorian England, and Gilbert Chesterton answered that the very rich cannot be bribed because they were born bribed. They were born expecting certain powers, conveniences, influence. It colors their mode of thinking from the very outset. It would be as foolish to say the wealthy are all vicious as to say Fitzgerald was that mere poverty insures virtue. But the very rich are right on this, and Hemingway wrong different. They do not think as others do. They may feel wider social obligations. They certainly have wider ties to the economic structure. In Rockefeller’s case, wealth has enabled a man of mediocre talents to surround himself with expert yes-men and accomplish a great deal. But he lacks a certain education the experience of which any amount of money could not buy him . . by Garry Wills . . to ther . frorr here Friday, 8 November 1974 The Spectrum . Page seventeen .

Guest Opinion by the Spartacus Youth League The initiation of large-scale busing to integrate Boston’s public schools last month was met by a reactionary mobilization ranging from anti-busing marches to outright mob terror. During the first week of school, several dozen black children were injured by shattered glass and rocks thrown at the school buses by white youths in the largely Irish, working-class nighborhood of South Boston. Symbolic of the frenzied atmosphere in some white neighborhoods was the friendly reception given the murderous scum of the Klu Klux Klan. While many adults remained on the sidelines, hundreds of South Boston youth responded eagerly to the Klansmen’s call for whites to organize against “forced race mixing.” Some mob action has already occurred with the assault on a lone black man in South Boston, Jean-Louis Andre Yvon. Yvon was driving in his car when he was attacked by a mob who dragged him from his car and beat him. This action could have easily led to a lynching. This ominous development poses sharply the need for a mass mobilization by labor and black organizations to protect the black children being bused into racially tense areas. Although totally inadequate even as a solution to school segregation, busing is at least a minimal attempt to allow the black poor a share in the benefits of white American society. Moreover, busing has become a symbol in the struggle against black oppression in general. If the anti-busing campaign is successful, if the Hicks, Wallaces and Fords win on this question, it will greatly encourage the forces of racist reaction to turn the calendar back before 1954 at every level. The prevailing social climate in this country contains the potential for race war, in which (given their relative social power) blacks would be the principal victims. It is only at the point of production that black/white relations are not generally hostile and where division of American society. While the Spartacus League/SYL supports busing regardless of popular opposition to it, it would be moralistic idealism, not scientific socialism, to believe whites can be won over simply by appeals to democratic principles. White workers and petty bourgeois will accept busing only when they believe it does not attack their material interests. Socialists must demand free highei education for all with an adequate stipend to cover living expenses for every student. Free universal higher education will not eliminate those anti-busing forces that reflect pure and simple racist bigotry, but it would fundamentally undercut the anti-busing sentiment arising out of the struggle over limited educational resources. Given the geographical concentration of blacks and whites, busing, even under the best of circumstances, could not produce racially balanced schools. For example, only 30 percent of New York City school children are classified as non-Puerto Rican whites. The rigid and many-sided separation of blacks and whites in American society must be attacked at its mosfTjfatent level ghettoization. Socialists must demand the construction of low-rent, racially integrated quality public housing. Many white families would show a very different attitude toward having black neighbors if it meant they could pay a third of their present rent for a comparable or even better dwelling. On the other hand, hardened bigots who insist on living in their exclusive neighborhoods would then be paying dearly for that privilege. Defense of racial integration is a principled question for Marxists. The liberal politicians, however, have proven themselves to be impotent in this crisis. After first postponing school opening for a week. Mayor Kevin White repeatedly called for public calm. In the face of the anti-busing campaign White has lobbied the District Court, which ordered the busing, for modifications of the plan. NAACP, The leaders of the pro-busing forces have relied Freedom House, the churches, etc. solely on the courts, legislature, and police. The liberal strategy of reliance on the bourgeois state for protection means reliance on its professional racists and strikebreakers, the police. The Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association has made clear through editorials and articles in its paper. Pax Centurion that the police stand not with the defenseless black children. The insistence of a BPPA attorney that policemen could not be prosecuted for refusing “in good conscience” to arrest these rock-throwing racists is evidence of their position and can only encourage the white vigilantes. The NAACP’s call for federal marshals is simply an appeal to another level of the capitalist state. The deaths and beatings of many civil rights workers in the South during the 1960’s are eloquent testimony to the “effectiveness” of federal marshals. A Boston ringed with artillery and patrolled by tanks can only fan the flames of racist tension. Furthermore, heavily armed troops are guaranteed to be used against any independent black or labor mobilization in defense of black school children. Instead of relying on local or federal government for protection, black people and all working people must depend on their own organizations for defense. The Spartacist League advocates the formation of a bi-racial defense force, organized by black and community groups and the labor unions, to protect the buses and maintain order in the schools. The flying squads of UAW members who recently defended the home of a black family being harassed in an all-white neighborhood of Detroit can point the way to the formation of such a defense force. - - - , �Uj B»b Protest rail Thousands rally in NY for Palestinian’s independence Supporters want to free Puerto Rico corporations control 85 percent industry in Puerto Rico according to the Solidarity Day by Paul Krehbiel of all Contributing Editor thousand people into New York City’s Twenty jammed American public is very susceptible to such phrases, Madison Square Garden Saturday and he stressed the need for counter-propaganda. to demand independence for of Puerto Rico.

The demand for Puerto Rican independence is “becoming more and more central to the fight against U.S. imperialism particularly because there is a large core of copper in Puerto — Rico which Kennecott wants to mine,” added Bill Covington, a Buffalo member of the Anti-Monopoly Committee and the Committee for Chilean Solidarity. Mr. Covington, who attended the rally, also explained that the U.S. wants to use Puerto Rican ports “to dock oil tankers something which eastern U.S. for ecological cities rejected” - reasons. With a population of four Rico’s million, Puerto unemployment rate is 30 percent, and low wages and poor living conditions prevail.

The United States is preparing to commemorate its 200th anniversary an independent as nation in 1976. “It is a farce to speak of celebrating the 1776 revolution against colonialism while denying freedom to another seeking independence, the Solidarity Day Committee.

The diversity of the committee is exemplified by the makeup of its national board, which includes: Ramon Arbona of the Puerto Rican Socialist Party; Clyde Bellecourt of the American Indian Phillip Movement; Father the Berrigan; Ben Chavis of National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, Professor of the Noam Chomsky of Massachusetts Institute Technology; Cora Weiss of Women’s Strike for Peace; and late sixties activist Dave Dellinger, among others. Friday, 8 November 1974 The Spectrum . Page nineteen �Republicans punished expected to win the White House two years later. Whatever effect the declining economy had in determining the election’s outcome is subject to 9onsiderable speculation. “Watergate and the price of hamburger shaped the outcome,” claimed Francis Sargent, the Republican Governor of Massachusetts who was defeated Tuesday. It would seem that Americans are more susceptible to change when the economy is in bad shape. Had either Watergate or the economy been the sole factor, the Republicans may not have suffered a loss of the same proportion. Generally speaking, Republicans who spoke out against Watergate and/or served their constituents well were re-elected. Changes since 1972 There have been many political changes since November, 1972. The Republican outlook for a bright future was depicted in Kevin Phillips’ The Emerging Republican Majority. The Democrats, meanwhile, were down and out. But in the past two years, Republican fortunes have deteriorated while the Democrats appear united and on the move, at least for the time being. There are two interesting trends in the nation today. First, there is a decreasing sense among Americans of their own efficiency and the efficiency of their government. JOIN NOW — 831-2145 GRADUATES < MFC UNDER FACULTY/STAFF GRADUATES 1 YR.

In fact, due to the professional sports expansion movement of the early ’70’s, Buffalo boosters now have three first-place teams to root on, the first time this has happened since the arrival of the basketball Braves and the hockey Sabres in 1970. A look at the latest standings for the NFL, NBA and NHL reveal the three Buffalo teams are firmly entrenched atop their respective divisions. As recently as the fall of 1971, Buffalo was the laughing stock of the nation, known around the country as the ‘city of losers’ and the ‘armpit of the east.’ New York’s Queen representatives Don and Luce Craig along with Rick Dudley and rookie Peter McNab, have come into their Ramsey, days City killers penalty by Dave Hnath ContributingEditor firmly were entrenched, all right, but solidly at the bottom of the standings. Sabres’ comeback The Sabres were the first ones to move out of the cellar. Referred to around the NHL as the Gil Perrault show, GM Punch Imlach’s astute drafting and trading landed the Sabres a spot in the NHL playoffs in 1972-73. Racked by dissension, injuries and death, the Sabres missed the playoffs last year. However, a year later, it appears that the youthful Sabres have gained the experience necessary to propel them to the top of the newly-created Adams Division of the Wales Conference of the NHL. Perrault’s French Connection, with Rick Martin and Rene Robert, no longer dominates the Sabres scoring. Premier own as scorers. The defense, severely crippled by Jim Schoenfeld’s season long back miseries and Tim Horton’s death in a car crash last year, was bolstered with the addition of young star Jocelyn Guevremont, but is still relatively weak. Most of the Sabres’ 16 points thus far have come by outscoring the opponents. The return of veteran goalie Roger Crozier strengthens the defense that much more. Braves favored The Braves, on the other hand, are favored by many to dominate the NBA’s Atlantic Division, Boston’s Dave Cowens notwithstanding. General Manager Eddie Donovan and Coach Jack Ramsey have built the Braves into the league’s most exciting team and its highest scoring. In Bob McAdoo, the Braves have one of the league’s major offensive threats. Donovan has surrounded Buffalo’s version of the ‘Big Mac’ with the finest young team to hit the NBA in many years. At forward, Donovan’s slick trading brought Jim McMillan (from Los Angeles) and Gar Heard (from Chicago). McMillan is probably the only player who can score 20 points per game without anyone noticing he’s even been on the court. Heard ranked among the league leaders in both scoring and blocked shots last year. Once the weak spot, the Braves’ guard corps is now one of the deepest in the league. Who else in the league could lose a guard like Ernie DiGregorio, last year’s rookie of the year and leader in assists and of Oci<3 by Dave Hnath The Wizard showed a slight improvement last week, scoring on 9 of his 13 picks to run his season log to 67-37 (.644). No key match-ups this week, as most teams prepare for the home-stretch. Despite the loss of tackle Donnie BUFFALO 35.

Fergy and the Juice The new-look Bills are the big story around town now. Where they once had trouble selling out miniscule, decrepid War Memorial Stadium, they have now taken over as the league’s top drawihg team, in modern Rich Stadium. They’ve even added a streaking Buffalo to their helmets, a symbol of their move ahead in place of the old standing bison. Former Coach Lou Saban has returned, and in the throes of the Buffalo youth movement, has built one of the top young offenses in the league. The Bills have THE top running back in football O.J. - Simpson. However, the key to the Bills success this season has been their passing attack. Led by surprising sophomore pro Joe Ferguson, Buffalo’s balanced attack has gotten rave notices everywhere. Ferguson’s emergence as a top-flight passer should let some of the pressure off of O.J., as most defenses the Bills face are the “Juice.” Buffalo’s three leaders all have youth. Perrault factor in common Martin for the Sabres, McAdoo DiGregorio for the Braves, Simpson keyed to stopping one and — and and Ferguson for the Bills, all rank among the top young stars in their respective leagues and figure to be around for a long time. No longer the ‘city of losers,’ people just might begin referring to Buffalo as the sports mecca of the nation. Volleyball Slow to start but still unbeat In I heir most exciting contest so far this year, Buffalo's volleyball team defeated Genesee Community College Monday night at Clark Hall. All five games were played in the best three out of five series. Coach Cindy Anderson, comparing this contest earlier matches this season, said, "This was a much better game on both sides of the court.” Both teams played evenly in the first game until Genesee scored 7 straight points and won. The Buffalo team played poorly at the beginning of the second game and fell behind 10-4. But Sue Pels’ exceptional serving sparked a comeback, as she rattled off seven straight points. The third game was the closest of the match. Neither team built up a lead of more than five points. One minute before the time limit would have ended play, Buffalo won it, 16-14. to Ups and downs ‘We’re noted for having our ups and downs, and this was one of our downs,” said co-captain Joanne Wroblewski, commenting on the fourth game. The Bulls stood around and watched Genesee trounce them in only five serves. In the last game, Buffalo played tight defense and aggressive offense to win, remaining undefeated in 6 matches. Wroblewski was outstanding as usual. “I played one of my best games. I think I had the most spikes I’ve ever had,” she said. Freshman Shelly Kupl set up a lot of good plays, while Pels contributed on both offense and defense. Commenting on the complaints about the refereeing during the match, Anderson said: “There were questionable calls, but on both sides of the net. The officials are getting better, though.” “Genesee has a strong team, so this is the first time we’ve really had to come together,” she added. Looking ahead to powerful Brockport State, Anderson said, “They’re tough competition, but if we play well, they’re beatable.” - MI-4400 - Ml iliwul Aira. •* Hny, MM* - - masters Gabriel and Jurgensen.

One form, the intramural level, is something the and is flourishing. The other, University has intercollegiate football, we have not had for four years. The differences between the two are obvious; value judgements about them are much harder to Spectrum make. The intramural football program experienced the first year significant growth three years ago that the University did not have a varsity team almost as if it were taking up some of the slack. Since that time at least 50 teams and over 500 players have competed annually, in both men’s and — - coed leagues, making this among the most popular programs on campus (this fall’s figures were 84 teams and nearly 1000 players). Instead of the 70 or 80 big, brawny scholarship players and several hundred student fans, intramurals directly involve all of the nearly 1000 participants. That’s 1000 students, actively participating, playing, having fun in a game situation that is as competitive or non-competitive as they want to make it. The program also employs students as referees. There is a lot to be said for all that. Buffalo varsity football was a very big thing in its time. Several players, including all-time all-pro Jerry Philbin, went from Rotary Field to professional gridirons. The year before the sport was dropped, the Bulls placed seventh behind Penn State in the balloting for the Lambert Trophy, symbolic of the tops in the East. That last year there was a game on regional television, at which the American Broadcasting Company refused to show the Buffalo band’s Peace-oriented half-time show. The freshman team that year was undefeated, having clobbered teams like Syracuse and Army. However, this rosy picture was far from the whole scene. The fact is that the team was not drawing well. Unlike the squads at places like Ohio State and Southern California, where a profit can be made on football through gate receipts and television revenue, Buffalo’s team, financially burdened with a lot of scholarship players, was taking a horrendous loss. A $400,00 deficit had piled up through the years and there was no hope of making it up. The only logical step was to get out of the football business altogether. At the same time-that football was losing large amounts of money, it was spending a majority ot the total athletic budget ($140,000 out of $250,000. or more than all the other intercollegiates receive today). It was also choking off the rest of the program in terms of facilities. Buffalo’s very limited athletic facilities were not adequate. What now serves as a locker room for all of Buttalo’s varsity teams, was. during the football years, exclusively a tootball locker room. What used to be the locker room for the other teams now serves as an equipment room for all gymnasium equipment. Don’t even ask where they stored all the equipment before. You can forget about what it would cost and the fact that we don’t have a coaching staff. Until such time as the physical education and athletic facility is built on the Amherst Campus, it appears that there is simply no physical space for football. This is not to say that the University should not by all rights have a team. Just that it is prohibitive to do so at the present time. It’s also a political impossibility at a time when the Student Assembly is attempting to cut rather than increase the allocation to athletics. However, it the movement to bring back the sport receives the kind of widespread support that it very well might, then the money for it is justified. That would be an interesting case indeed. 6"#*' Mail Room position now available, for collage student who is looking for extra money. Hours will be 2 6 Some lifting- suburban daily.

Trust Faculty-Student Association (FSA) treasurer Edward Doty There is too little time for to student increase opposes the Student Association (SA) plan them to become familiar with representation on the FSA Board of Directors. ‘FSA, Mr. Doty emphasized. As “It is difficult for me to soon as a student becomes Turning to Mr. Hochman’s visualize any situation that takes argument that students are the knowledgeable, he “moves on,” responsibility away from the largest group that “puts money and someone new enters, he said.

X■PI , jia J Ed Doty to make the board “efficient” for him to would have more support it. Serious obligation Dr. Schindler also rejected the idea of “block voting” which he considered an important concern. “Everyone ought to vote for what FSA,” he explained. Although Dr. Schindler has voted with the student is best for the representatives many times in the past, he has been a “swing vote” in many cases. “I have a great deal at stake in this,” Dr. Schindler maintained. Board members have a “very serious obligation, and the potential liabilities” are great, he said. Anthony Lorenzetti, associate vice-president for Student Affairs, also opposed any revision in the FSA Board that would “change the balance of power.” He does not see a need for enlarging the group. Dr. Lorenzetti claims -that the FSA “provides students with what they need and want.” Any issue FSA does not properly handle should be brought forward and dealt with, he said. While Dr. Lorenzetti does not feel students are less responsible than Administrators, “my accountability to the University is different than a student’s. There is an unwillingness to prosecute students,” he said, which could cause the University “to lose a lot of money .” Attica forum Fighting against oppression, racism by Howard L. Greenblatt Spectrum Staff Writer The UB Attica Support Committee sponsored a lively forum before about 200 persons Monday afternoon in the Fillmore Room featuring two of the indicted Attica Brothers. Dealing with the question, “Who are the Attica Brothers? Dalou Asahi explained the far-reaching and complex nature of the Attica experience; “When we lopk af the Attica Brothers, we must look at the black people who have been slaves throughout history, the black brothers and sisters who are now in prison, the Japanese people during World War 11, police brutality and flagrant genocide in order to re-evaluate the common connotation,” he said. Under indictment for alleged murder, Dalou faces possible life imprisonment. The prosecution of the Attica Brothers, Dalou claims, “is a legal lynching, not using bullets, but using the law.” The Attica Brothers are “second,• third and fourth class members of an already victimized class of prisoners. Victimized by who? By the legal arm of the United States government!” he claimed. Examining the plight of American blacks in its historical context, Dalou observed that “Washington and Jefferson all had slaves . . . there has been no consideration of Third World people. Even the Founding Fathers, Dalou feels, “were in violation of the law in order to protect the rich people.” “We’re not pleading for you to cry and ” lean on our shoulder. Attica already happened,” Dalou continued. “Attica could happen again, and we have to prevent it from happening again. It will be in our own goddamned country and it will happen again,” he warned, and those who fail to recognize the situation “are either unconscious of our own oppression, or are simple pigs.” The crowd listened attentively as Dalou spoke of the prison conditions which result in such situations as the Attica massacre. The constant political harassment of prisoners encourages such uprisings, Dalou explained. Prisoners, for example, were once forbi den to greet one another with the popular “Power to the People” slogan. Prison authorities calimed that such rhetoric is “inflammatory,” he said. And when the clenched fist salute become popular among black prisoners, the gesture was deemed “insubordinate” by prison authorities and also forbidden. “The law states that prisoners must work for the state in which they are imprisoned,” Dalou pointed out, adding that prisoners at Attica are “forced” to manufacture the desks, bookshelves and lockers which are found in most state facilities. At Auburn, the prisoners manufacture license plates. “What the hell kind of training is making license plates?” Dalou asked. “How is this rehabilitation? Simple bullshit!” he exclaimed. Negativism Even more disturbing, Dalou said, is that prison makes the inmate concentrate on his own negative side. “There’s nothing to do but talk about life styles prior to imprisonment. As a first offender in prison, all 1 learned from the mistakes of others was how to stick up, burglarize, cut dope and sell it.” To examine prison brutality and torture we need not look only at Attica, Dalou said, “but at any prison.” A man comes out of prison “in three possible ways either repressed, politicized, or dead.” “$8.6 million has been appropriated to the prosecution of the Attica defendents,” Dalou said, sarcastically, while only “$750,000 has been set aside for the defense.” So far, he alleged, none of this money has been turned over to the defense. Citing the humiliating and dehumanizing way in which the defendents have been treated, Dalou said that before entering the courtroom, defendants must “strip off clothing, stand naked, spread their legs, and lean over.” As a further precautionary measure, he noted, they must run their hands through their hair, “to make sure we don’t hide guns in our afros.” — Fair trial impossible Talking about the “wave of crime” that has permeated the highest levels of government during recent years, Dalou remarked, “1 don’t want Rockefeller indicted. It’s not the man Rockefeller, it’s the position. Dalou affirmed the need for maintaining prisons, saying, “What would —Kristlch Brother Dalou Asahi we do with Nixon and Agnew?” Dalou felt that a fair trial of the Attica brothers is impossible. “You’re not gonna find a jury who can recall what each brother said.” Even if a computer were used to sort out all of the evidence and testimony, “we’d still be found guilty, because who the hell Is gonna program the computer?” The members of an ideal “fair jury” should be attuned to the social, economic and environmental life styles of the inmates, he maintained. “Who the hell can do that? Only prisoners. We need prisoners on the jury to get a fair trial.” But by law, an individual who has been convicted of a crime may not sit on a jury. —continued on page 10 — �Money matters Employed graduate students working to protect interests and with the New York State United Teachers Union to determine the best form of representation. by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor The Graduate Student Employees Union (GSEU) at the State University at Buffalo has begun a pctetion drive to protect members’ jobs, increase their stipends and grants, and win additional benefits. Made up of graduate students who fullfil certain work requirements for a stipend, the GSEU (originally the Graduate Student Union) has progressed substantially from its first meeting last spring. Members have come together primarily over economic concerns. Most teaching and research fellowships have remained at their 1965 levels, while the “cost of living has gone up 35 per cent,” GSEU organizers say. In addition, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service was auditing many graduate assistants, and “many were unable to retain their tax-exempt status,” it is claimed. Two conferences were held over the summer, along with continuing weekly meetings, and the union organizing group now has members from 17 of the 80 University departments. As a result of the second conference, six research committees were formed to study employed students’ income; working conditions; quality public eduation; benefits; departmental operations; and organizational structure. A detailed questionnaire to determine the situation of funded graduate students in each department; the presentation of union structures and steps in organizing a campus union; and recognition by the Graduate Student Association (GSA) as a GSA club, have been a few of the union’s accemplishments. Meetings have also been held with the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees For job security, Mr. Peterson said the students “must demand contracts to make clear job requirements,” forcing the employer to show “just cause” (failure to meet said requirements) for dismissal. “If we have done our work, then the burden of proof justifying our being fired must be placed on our employer,” he said. Since many philosophy students recognize the limitations of these gains within any single department, many support the unionization drive. Mr. Peterson and other organizers anticipate “at least 90 percent support for the formation of a bargaining unit.” There is also growing support for unionization among students in the natural sciences and engineering. David Adler, a graduate student in Biology at Roswell Park, said, “The state tells us, in effect, that we don’t have to do anything for our grants,” but explained that employed students do quite a bit. Most graduate students have to sign a statement attesting that any “patentable and we do discovery is not my personal property” sometimes make discoveries,” he indicated. In addition to carrying out much of the basic research at the University, “our thesis work is supposed to come up with an original contribution” in its particular field of study, he added. Philosophy Department In a number of departments, graduate student clubs have already made efforts to solve problems in departmental operations and work responsibilities. The Graduate Philosophy Association, for example, is attempting to revise the ranking and evaluation of students, the distribution of funds and teaching assignments, and admissions policy. One important goal of graduate students has been to separate questions of academic evaluation from those of Authorization drive The GSEU is taking authorization cards to various funding. The Association is currently trying to secure a who are guarantee “of at least four years’ aid for those departments to have students register their interest in a admitted with aid and who maintain normal progress,” union. Those interested can contact a union organizer. explained Dick Peterson, an organizer in the Philosophy When 50 percent of the TA’s, RA’s, and GA’s sign the cards, the union will notify Pres. Ketter of its intent to Department. While these questions await a departmental vote, Mr. bargain with the State administration over stipends, Peterson maintained that even if the students’ position is working conditions and benefits. At this point, the Public Employees Relations Board accepted, “these new rules will not insure money for all for (PERB) will hold hearings to determine what types of jobs qualified graduate students nor adequate amounts any.” But he added that they will help “avoid competition are to be covered by the bargaining unit. Within 30 days among students and eliminate an added source of friction after the end of the hearings, an election will be held in which employed graduate students can vote for or against with the faculty.” He explained that the department and its faculty have the union. The GSEU encourages all funded graduate students to the power to make such guarantees only as long as the attend a general meeting on Friday, Nov, 8 to hear a support lines are not shifted to other departments or the federal the state government, speaker from the New York State United Teachers, learn simply taken away by legislature, the SUNY Administration, local administration more about the local organizing, and pick up authorization or even the bureaucracy of the faculty divisions of the cards.

Fillmore Room — Norton Hall �Revised SCATE form to be tested during the semester by Sparky Alzamora Campus Editor The newly revised Student Course and Teacher Evaluation (SCATE) form featuring wide changes designed to alleviate the difficulties encountered with the Analysis of Courses and Teaching (ACT) of the past few years, will be distributed to several University departments early in December. Termed, a “test run” by Mark Humm, Student Association (SA) ACT lacked direction, and that no one felt they had any input into it.” A subsequently revised ACT plan suffered a blow at the September 24 meeting of the Faculty-Senate, however, when President Robert L. Ketter announced that it would be impossible for the University to Academic Affairs coordinator, SCATE’s acceptance by individual departments will determine whether the results of this revamped program will be ready for distribution on a University-wide basis in the fall of always apply to individual courses under the ACT, SCATE’s form will be of a more general nature, with questions that apply to undergraduate nearly every course. in addition, the SCATE questionnaire will contain space for individual comments. Mr. Humm said each department will have the prerogative to add questions which pertain to its own field of study. In the future, he explained, individual instructors may be able to ask questions. However, these additional questions would presently be too extensive for the committee to compile. The results of this fall’s evaluations will not be published, Mr. Humm said, because of a lack 1975. of time. Tried and tested The questionnaire, devised by an SA SCATE committee, will be SCATE in ’75 tested in several departments in order to “produce the instrument and see how it works,” Mr. Humm said. The ACT was originally passec by the Faculty-Senate about three years ago. The process of distributing the computer printout sheets and publishing student evaluations was done through the administration under the Student Testing and Research office. Three administration representatives were formerly in charge of compiling the results of the evaluations. However, the ACT came under fire by the Faculty-Senate last spring when it was found that the statistical results of teacher and course evaluations were difficult comprehend. The to Faculty-Senate complained the SCATE supply the $60,000 to $80,000 needed to Office fund a permanent Instructional of Development (OID). A new look The actual SCATE form has also been significantly altered. Whereas the ACT listed 36 questions on a “strongly agree-disagree” basis, the new 18 questionnaire will feature multiple choice questions. Because questions did not In the fall of 1975, the results of the preceding semester’s SCATE will be published and distributed in time for students to fill out their schedule cards, Mr. Humm said. This distribution will be made available to the entire University in contrast to past years when there were about 50 volumes of the ACT evaluations published and placed only in University libraries. The cost of SCATE, which includes the price of paper, supplied entailed in distribution and collection, and computation for the processing of the forms, will be underwritten by the administration. In the next two weeks, Mr. Humm and the SCATE committee departmental will meet representatives to determine who will participate in the new SCATE " project. Security program curtailed The Campus Security Student Aides program has been curtailed due to a shortage of available funds. The aides are hired by Security to check student ID cards and screen incoming persbns amount of money designated for the program very soon. To help cut down on costs, however, the patrol shifts have been shortened from 8 p.m.-4 a.m., to I 1 p.m.-4 am. Second thoughts Serious second thoughts have been given to the effectiveness the student aides as a supplement to Campus Security. Under the rules outlining their role as law enforcers, the aides are extremely limited in power. “Security aides have been intimidated and at times assaulted. They can’t do anything about it except make a citizen’s arrest, which anyone else can do as well,” Mr. Griffin asserted. The aides do not wear uniforms to distinguish them from other students. If they spot any trouble, they must notify Campus Security and let them handle the situation, Mr. Griffin said. Due to the immensity of the Ellicott Complex and its numerous entrances, the student aides patrol the area rather than sit at a desk and check ID cards. Jim Smith, Inter-residence Council vice president in charge of activities, feels “the program is to Goodyear, Clement and the Amherst dormitories at night. “There is a lump sum of money appropriated for security, and there are just so many dollars allotted to the program,” said Lee Griffin, assistant director of Campus Security. At the present rate, he expects to exceed the fruitless because they haven’t come up with an effective system. “There is a large area to patrol at the Ellicott Complex, and only two student aides are on duty each night. While most of the crime is centered inside the dorms, the aides generally don’t almost patrol above Grad Student meeting The Graduate Students Employees Union (GSEU) will hold a general meeting, Friday, November 8 from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. in 240-248 (upstairs cafeteria) Norton Hall. Appearing will be a representative of the New York State United Teachers. Information will be given out concerning the local organizing drive, and those present will be able to pick up authorization cards. Gamer is dismissed from the Record ‘ 9 Charged with sensational and racist reporting, Dfebby Ganser, Managing Editor of Buffalo State University College at Buffalo student newspaper, the Record was dismissed Wednesday by the Student Media Board. Ms. Ganser’s firing grew out of strong reactions to an article she wrote in the Record Tuesday with the headline, “BLFB Budget Threatens Other Organizations.” The story dealt with the budget of the United Student Government (USC) which provides funds for the various student organizations. The BLFB was granted only $14,175 of its requested $50,255 and its budget will face a student referendum set for Nov. 11-13. Several people, including USG President Lauren Stern and Yvette LaGonterie, publicity director for Black Liberation Front Board, felt the headline was misleading and unwarranted. Ms. Stern, at the Media Board meeting, called for the resignation of the entire editorial board and the “surrender” of the next planned edition of the Record to the BLFB. BLFB issue Although the Board did not agree to dismiss the entire editorial board, Ms. Ganser was fired and Monday’s paper was written.by the BLFB. The issue was devoted entirely to the USG budget and minority student organizations. The special edition reported that the controversial headline needlessly aroused many students, causing many white students to fear that blacks were planning physical assaults. The Record editorial board was further accused of orienting itself only to the needs of “young, white, middle-class dorm residing students.” Ms. LaGonterie, Editor-in-Chief of the Record called for a reordering of the paper’s policy and the establishment of a permanent insert in the Record to be written and edited by minority students, with intentions of eventually establishing a separate newspaper. The editorial said that some white students fiave banned together to prepare for expected racial strife on the basis of the headline. “The choice of such a strong, sensational word as threatened in the headline does appear to indicate a less than objective policy on the part of the Record or just plain incompetence in printing a newspaper.” the third level,” he noted 10 Speed Bike on Sale! Good student relations Frank Jackalone, Student Association president, believes the program has certain advantages. “The aides provide a better atmosphere around the dorms. They are a lot less costly than hiring more security guards and they incite less hostility from the student body,” he said. Mr. Jackalone agrees that the aides have limited powers, but feels that if the program is terminated, it could prove a detriment to communications between security and students. In MacDonald and Schoellkopf Halls, the need for student security aides has been eliminated by two experimental systems. Schoellkopf residents have special keys to the front door, and MacDonald is governed by an Electronic Card Key system. If successful, the systems could be expanded to other dorms.

The raw materials they consume in such amazing quantities are being extracted by companies controlled by New York interests, with methods that lay incredible waste to . the environment,” said Tom Dailey, former director of the Montana Public Interest Research Group (MontPIRG), during a short visit to Buffalo this weekend. MontPIRG, one of the many sister organizations of NYPIRG, has been fighting to stop the ecological and economic disasters caused by the exploitation of Montana’s natural resources. Water table “Digging the coal and copper and iron ore out of states like Montana upsets the water table, affects the hydrological cycle, and just does all sorts of bad things to the land,” Mr. Dailey explained. The methods used to mine these primary materials involve strip or open-pit excavation, which leaves scars on the land similar to the craters on the moon. The ttio V/ASHINGTON largest open pit mine in the world is located at Butte, Montana (owned by Anaconda Copper), and, according to Mr. Dailey, “It looks like someone pulled a mountain out of the ground.” Downtown condemned The pit is more than a mile in diameter, 1000 feet deep, and still growing. Downtown Butte, which sits on the edge of the mine, has been condemned to allow for expansion of the mine, he said. ButtS is run for and by the companies that operate there, Mr. Dailey continued. Although its population is only 30,000, its fair pollution level is greater than that of Los Angeles, California. Senators Lee Metcalf (D., Mont.) and Edmund Muskie (D., Me.) conducted a Senate inquiry recently, which determined that six corporations, among them the Chase Manhattan Bank, control almost all of Montana’s industry. Chase Manhattan, for instance, owns Montana Power, the state public utility that is pushing hard to build two more gasification plants that would nearly double Montana’s electric power output by converting coal into oil and oil by-products. Power controversy Environmentalists, who insist that Black,” also known as Frank Smith, the national director of the Attica Brothers Offense Defense, was arrested the evening of Nov. 2 and charged with the felony possession of three and a “Big half ounces of marijuana. According to ABOD sources, Big Black and Polly Eustis, a legal worker, were stopped by city police in a car she was driving near the intersection of Elmwood Ave. and Edward St. Ms. Eutis got out of the car and was neither asked for identification nor apprised of the reason for the stop. The police officers called Big Black by name, however, and demanded that he get out of the car. They then entered the car and conducted an illegal search. One officer reached under a seat, pulled out a brown paper bag, and said, “here it is.” Both Big Black and Ms. Eustis were then arrested. The police department refused to provide any information concerning the arrest. Willie Smith arrested NEBRASKA NEVADA UTAH * Court news During calendar call at Erie County Court Nov. defense attorneys for Bernard Stroble, Herbert Montana does not need the extra power, have opposed the two plants. Most of the additional power, according to Mr. Dailey, would be shipped to Seattle and other Northwest power companies. Proponents of the plan, though, have argued that selling the surplus power would create more jobs and result in economic advancement for Montana, a poor state with seven large Indian reservations and a high unemployment rate. Montana scars However, the Great Plains are very arid and its natural cycles are easily disrupted by salt fumes and Blyden and Big Black (who is representing himself) asked for a list of witnesses who will testify for the prosecution. So far, the prosecution has provided a list of witnesses without saying for which case each will testify, creating a massive amount of extra work for the defense. Judge Carmen Ball, however, denied the request. He later said the court will not order the prosecution to provide the information, hut will only request it of them. After more discussion the prosecution said they would comply with the request. No state money for ABOD The Attica defense has again brought up its problem of funding. ABOD was denied funding by Judge Ball after it had applied for state-appropriated money. ABOD cited the use of their work by the state Attorney General’s staff, and stated that common law 722C18B stipulates that appropriated money is to be paid directly to the people who do the work for the defense. One ABOD lawyer told Judge Ball that the ABOD “can’t even pay their phone bill.” The request was again denied. Attica weekend An Attica educational weekend will begin Friday on campus.

A gasification plant now operating at Four Corners, Arizona, for example, has poisoned the soil and has destroyed more than 120 square miles of vegetation. “Montana gets the scars and New York gets the bread,” Mr. Dailey charged. “People back east have to realize that those who live in areas that supply the industrialized states with primary materials are getting angry.” In Alaska, which is also being ecologically damaged by large industries, an environmental movement is gathering support for a proposal to secede from the U xl. Mr. Daif �Consumerism different dosage forms, or consist of a mixture of two old Public pays too muchfor drugs; pharmacies are to show prices SAN FRANCISCO (CPS) Americans may soon get some help from the federal government in lowering the prices they must pay for prescription drugs. Officials at the Cost of Living Council (CLC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are studying proposals that would require pharmacies to post the prices of brand name drugs as well as their “generic” (chemically equivalent) forms. If approved, such regulations would significantly affect the price of pharmaceuticals and reduce the $15 billion bill Americans currently pay each year for all drug The proposals currently under study by the CLC and the FDA would require comparison price posting of both brand-name and generic drugs, a practice specifically outlawed in most states today. Although courts in nine states have overturned price posting bans, and two states (Texas and California) have already acted to require retail pharmacy price posting in 1974, there are no uniform procedures throughout the U.S. which would give the patient, rather than the doctor and pharmacist, the right to determine the cost of needed medicines. — products. In a fourteen-month study, sponsored by the Task Force on Prescription Drugs of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, this federal agency announced, “We have reached the conclusion that except in rare instances drugs which are chemically equivalent and which meet all official standards, can be expected to produce essentially the same biological or clinical effect.” Currently, nine Put of 10 physicians in the country prescribe the brand-name form of a particular drug, rather than the lower cost, generic form. Thus, even after the regulation 17-year patent privilege on drugs expires, the manufacturer of a brand-name drug can continue to sell the product at a significantly higher price than the non-brand competitors. Lowest prices As one FDA official said, such price posting for drugs “would cut prices tremendously” for the average patient. Blue Cross estimated in 1971 that the prescription of brand name drugs cost the American consumer at least an extra $133 million each year. Secretary of HEW Caspar W. Weinberger announced on Dec. 19 that the federal Medicare and Medicaid programs in the future will pay only the lowest available prices for equivalent market - - drugs. Even if consumer-protection drug laws are enacted, it is still likely that Americans will continue to be caught in a spiral of rising costs. For the twelve-year period of 1956-1967, profit for the 15 leading pharmaceutical firms averaged 18.2 percent as compared to 10.4% for industry as a whole. Drug firms justify such large profits by what they describe as the high cost of drug research. But research outlay for pharmaceuticals (always passed on to the consumer as a cost of production) accounts for only 10 cents of each sales dollar, whereas advertising costs (also passed on to the consumer) account for 25 cents. Since the brand-name drugs yield the best profits, the name of the game in pharmaceuticals is to capture the physician market with ever new, patentable brand-name drugs. Most of these new drugs have no therapeutic advantage over earlier drugs; rather, they have slightly altered, but unimportant, chemical modifications, Nembutal For example, some years ago Abbott Laboratories developed a sleeping medication which was given the generic name pentobarbital. This drug is marketed by Abbott under its brand name “Nembutal.” Even though Abbott’s patent on pentobarbital has expired, it still sells Nembutal to millions of patients every year at prices several times that of its chemical equivalent, pentobarbital. Because of the lobbying efforts of industry, most states have “anti-substitution” laws on the books. Under these laws, it is illegal for a pharmacist to dispense a drug under its generic name if the physician has written the brand name, often five to 10 times more expensive, on the prescription. explosive and important" STUDS TERKEL (author of "Hard drugs Old drugs Between 1951 and 1960 the drug industry introduced 432. new chemical entities, 760" duplicate products, 1064 new dosage forms and 2376 compounded products. Products in the first category occasionally have superior therapeutic value to products already on the market, but are often only old drugs in new chemical clothing. In order to assure that such “new” drugs become popular with the prescribing physician, the handful of leading pharmaceutical firms (eight firms account for almost one-half of drug sales in the U.S.) carry out enormous promotional campaigns. Pfizer, one of the largest drug companies, has run free golf tournaments for doctors, fishing contests, bowling tournaments and sheet shoots. The company once rented 3000 acres of marshland to entertain 700 doctors who enjoy duck hunting. Well over three-quarters of a billion dollars is spent each year by the drug industry to convince doctors to prescribe particular products. This amounts to a yearly average of $3000-4000 per physician for each of the nation’s 200,000 prescribing doctors. It would take two railroad mail cars, 110 large mail trucks and 800 postmen to deliver the daily load of drug circulars and samples to doctors if they were all mailed to a single city. Promotion The promotional activities of the drug industry appear to pay off. Three separate studies have shown that the physicians’ preferred source of new information about drugs is drug company promotional material. The drug industry has also found a powerful ally in the American Medical Association (AMA). In 1955 the AMA virtually opened the pages of its journals to unrestrained drug promotion when it abandoned its highly successful and respected drug advertising screening program, the Seal of Approval. Immediately, the pharmaceutical industry began to pour advertising into AMA journals at the rate of $30 million per year. The proposed law requiring pharmacies to post lists of drugs by their generic as well .as brand names is just one change being suggested by medical reformers. The minimum that many respected physicians and pharmacologists would like to see is a national, standardized, listing of the few hundred drugs that have proven to be effective and safe, in standard dosgage forms.

The Rev. Smith is pastor of St. John the Baptist Church and chairman of the Buffalo chapter of People United to Save Humanity (PUSH). Speaking of PUSH’S major aims. Rev. Smith said, We are dissipating our power” in regard to blacks and the poor, when such economic power could be used effectively to force businesses to halt discriminatory hiring. Purchase power If black people were organized and “sensitized” to the economic system in the U.S., Rev. Smith maintained, they could wield their purchasing power, amounting to $47 billion a year, as a weapon to boycott any company or bank that refused to give blacks equal employment opportunities or to deal with them fairly in other economic activities. If the community were unified in its stand on an issue, it would follow three steps in order to achieve its goal, said Rev. Smith. Representatives would negotiate with the company involved, and if their demands were not met, there would be a confrontation involving the picketing of the company, followed by reconciliation or compromise PUSH is working within the system for economic change, ReV; Smith continued. The black militants of the ’60’s did not achieve economic liberation, he claimed, while the civil rights movement only appeared to achieve equal rights for blacks. But “what good is it if you can sit down in an unsegregated lunch counter in Selma if you can t afford the price of a hamburger?” he asked. • Reinvestments PUSH, a Chicago-based organization headed by the Rev. Jesse Jackson, “pushes” for black people to get into business and reinvest their profits in the black community. It strives for the creation of black-controlled financial institutions that would make capital available to black businessmen. In order to build up the blackk community, PUSH believes black businessmen are essential. Whereas in the white community, money changes hands many times, circulating from white employee to white businessman and back again in the form of salaries, in the black ghetto, money is only spent once in stores owned by white businessmen. According to Rev. Smith, “Capitalism i*wrong whether it is black white,” but he later mentioned that only through the system of free or enterprise are the poor going to get their fair share of the w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w wwwwwwwwealth. Since the free enterprise system draws its lifeblood from enriching the wealthy at the expense of the poor, he said, PUSH believes that the church is an indispensable force in “instilling a sense of brotherhood in the community to keep the new black businessman from “ripping off his brothers as the white man does.” be added to Amherst campus by Laura Bartlett Spectrum Staff Writer Residents of the Ellicott and Governors complexes are presently faced with a near-total absence of library facilities. Most of the planned structures are not expected to be completed until after 1977, at the earliest. Facilities on the Amherst Campus now include only the Law library in O’Brian Hall and a small reserve library in the Ellicott complex, with a 24-hour ordering service for volumes from the Main Street libraries. A joint research library, to hold 750,000 volumes, and a new 115,000-volume Capen Hall undergraduate library are currently under construction. The Ellicott Complex itself will house three more library areas, in addition to the one presently in operation. The new facilities will lower the ratio of students per library seats here from the present 13 to 1 to a more acceptable 4 to 1, according to Director for Facilities Eldwin Smith. The joint research library alone will seat 2100 people in carpeted, air-conditioned comfort, Mr. Smith said, and will be “better designed to meet modern needs” than the facilities at Main St. The joint research library, not yet named, will be similar in function to Lockwood. It will contain volumes relating to education, humanities and management, and will sponsor a “Friends of the Library” room, named for a group which loans and donates books to the library. This structure will enclose a 280-sq. ft. grassy courtyard, with and benches walls made surrounding completely of reflective glass. The new Capen Hall will house the undergraduate library as well as a student union and activity facilities, special collections (poetry, rare books, university archives), classrooms, science and engineering facilities, a “marketplace” area for the sale of handcrafts, and library and university administrative offices. It will probably be the “most used building on the entire campus,” said assistant director for Facilities John Vosi. A climate-controlled walkway will bisect the library’s second floor, running the entire length of the “spine” area, connecting all the buildings. and 3102 Main St. Literature, Crafts, Poetry, Ecology, Cooking, Film, Fiction and more. Browsers welcome. 837-8554 »CO« tables, Best work Capen Hall is expected to be a strikingly beautiful structure. Architect Harry Weese feels it is the best piece of work that has been done for the new campus. On one side, it will overlook Lake LaSalle, and its interior will feature a variety of seating arrangements (lounges, tables, study carrels) and rooms designed for informal meetings or poetry readings. Sections will offer carpeted stairways leading down to lounge areas, where students can sit on the stairs, the floor, or seats to socialize and study. A 24-hour reserve and study section is also planned, in response to student requests. The four libraries in the Ellicott complex will hopefully be used by the Colleges, employing their reading lists as a guide to compile a small collection of volumes relating to College course material The Ellicott libraries will be built up gradually, according to Undergraduate Library Director Yoram Szekely, and will take perhaps a year to reach their full capacity. There are problems of planning ahead, Mr. Szekely said, because Albany has not notified him of what funds will be available next year. “Our first priority must still be Lockwood and the other libraries,” he said. “I don’t want make big, grandiose to descriptions of what we’ll have.” But Mr. Szekely is optimistic about the Ellicott facilities, which he hopes will eventually house 10,000 to 1/5,000 volumes. In total, the new Amherst libraries are expected to hold more than 1.5 million volumes and seat 6000 people in all. U/B MUSIC DEPT. .�V" o.

The name "Faculty-Student Association" is suggestive of an organization run by faculty and students, but in fact, the University's FSA represents neither group. The FSA Board of Directors is presently composed of five University administrators, three students and one faculty member. With the exception of this University and one other state college, which both have administrationdominated FSA's, students and faculty are strongly represented on these bodies throughout the state. Student Association in asking for a greater student-faculty voice in overseeing the operations of Food Service, the Bookstore, vending services, the service center and auxiliary enterprises is merely asking for a more definitive role in dispensing services which have been successful business ventures only because students and faculty make use of them. While some administrators fear that taking responsibility away from the administration will lead to financial problems, they should realize that, if anything, students could conceivably become the most cautious bloc on the Board of Directors because they have the most to benefit from a fiscally solvent FSA. And while it is true that the yearly turnover of student representatives could make it difficult for them to become sheer experts in every single FSA-run operation, the administration, if it does its job properly, should be able to lend its broader fiscal experience to educating them. Increasing the number of students on the Board will not necessarily negate the Administration's ability to convince students and faculty to take responsible courses of action; it would simply be an admission that students are intelligent and responsible enough to engage in extensive dialogue about the corporation's activities and direction. instead of assuming Members of the administration on the FSA Board number of students that an increase in the result in the corporation's of Directors will automatically demise should take time to consider the advantages that might be gained by involving a few genuinely concerned students in its policy discussions. - — — — Presidential complicity President Ford's recent use of the phrases "vote-proof Congress" and "legislative dictatorship" is an excellent example of the man's narrow conception of the real issue in executive predominance in governyesterday's election ment. For example, when Mr. Ford implies that an overwhelming Democratic Congress could jeopardize world peace, he is overlooking the fact that Presidents, not Congress, have made the decision to embark on all of our recent wars. In reality, it required a lot of strange and obscure presidential talk about police action and preserving neutrality, and stilted revelations about places like the Gulf of Tonkin to overcome an initial reluctance by Congress to use its war power. All of Mr. Ford's statements completely ignore the rash misuse of power by the Executive Branch that actually began long beofre Watergate. — The Spectrum Well, the inevitable has happened. 1 finally have hit an empty Monday afternoon when there is no column already written in my head and it simply requires me to allow it to flow out through my nimble fingers on to the clean sheets of white paper. At least once when an incoming Editor of The Spectrum decided to continue this creation, they did so only after a short lecture about the distinct surplus of columns about how hard it was to write a weekly column. There remains a certain sensitivity to such criticism, but even The New York Times has failed to provide any useful stimuli and the glare of empty white paper is about to give me snow blindness. Much of the problem comes from the number of things that are floating around that might make bits and pieces of something, but to which ■ it seems impossible to me to find a unifying' theme. Item: Buffal cit y of so much bad press, comes out of last weekend with three first place teams. It should be possible to milk that for by Sleese few thousand well a chosen words but my head won’t go. Instead it wanders into questions of relevance, and what the hell is sports about anyway? After spending much of Saturday partying, it was about all 1 could do to drag myself to the TV set and spend most of Sunday reading and watching the tube. So already I am sick of sports, and mad at myself for wasting all that time, etc. etc. etc. Maybe 1 have a delayed hangover????? Also spent much of yesterday immersed in a gloriously bad tempered article about Evil Kneivel and the great Snake River Sky Cycle Jump, as featured in the last issue of Rolling Stone. Reality is such a fascinating animal. Almost impossible to identify until you step on it, at which point it bites your foot off if you aren’t very, very careful. Whether or not you are a Kneivel fan, the article is good reading, if only for some kind of perspective on the quality of what it is you see, and don’t see, on your television set or in your favorite magazine. Sports Illustrated got a number of letters harumphing about their inclusion of a lady with nothing on but shorts in their pictures of the Kneivel flying circus. The reality as described in R.S. would weem to indicate that they left a number of PC °’ Qf Ullln things out. Richard Nixon is back in the hospital, and has just been removed from the critical list. My Wednesday, 6 November 1974 Editor-in-Chief - Larry Kraftowitz Managing Editor Amy Dunkin Managing Editor Michael O'Neill Advertising Manager Gerry McKeen Neil Collins Business Manager - • Fund Day Care adopted by New York State, the University is obligated to seek out minority people and women for its programs. This legislation acknowledges the fact that these groups have been systematically excluded from the regular channels of economic opportunity in our society. How can these people participate in Affirmative Action programs at the University if low cost day care is not available. Action To the Editor. We, the Graduate Students of the School of Social Work announce our support of the U.B. Day Care Center in its struggle to obtain adequate funding from the University Administration. Since its inception four years ago, the U.B. Day Care Center has adopted a policy consistent with its goal of serving economically disadvantaged students, minority and single parent families in particular. To do this the Center was started and has continued as a cooperative parents working together with a paid staff to provide adequate, low cost childcare. In the past parent fees were supplemented by funding from - Vol. 25, No. 32 assumption is the Gerald Ford gets listened too much more when he prays than I do, if only because of the fact that I never do so. Therefore I let him pray for poor, poor Richard. It is very clear that I do not want Nixon to die. I’m afraid it is for a very unchristian reason, however. He hasn’t paid enough yet. He has not yet been forced to realize what his historical debt will be, and how glaringly and accurately the exposure of his shortcomings has been and will continue to be. Which is probably unfair. No doubt any number of other past high government officials could have had the same thing happen to them, but simply did not get caught. Nixon played it so moralistically while he could, that his falling on his face is something which gives me a quantity of feelings that I am uncomfortable with. So I think we just ignore it for now, yes? Having watched a lot of television yesterday it is clear that it will be very nice to have the election out of the way. Political advertisements are so incredibly bad, overall, as to make the rest of the television programs look palatable, as long as you are really spaced out. Which, when you consider it, is no small feat. Somehow my head thinks of the people who pay kids to run around and tear down their old campaign posters. Wouldn’t it seem fair to require political figures to run 30 seconds of pastoral pictures with soothing music over them in the same slots that they ran their political ads? When you think about the money side of it, it would also mean only half as many political ads. Tsk, tsk. The Democrats are supposed to have won by the time you read this. Now just what is going to happen in the case that the results were as predicted is a question that I have as yet not found an answer to. The fundamental problem seems to be how to throw Set of Rascals A out of the offices that they now hold without installing Set of Rascals B. This presumes that if they are not rascals that they are capable of doing something about the rather disorganized state of things that is posing as reality at the moment. Which leaves two alternatives, doesn’t it? Either only rascals are capable of doing anything, or nobody is. Wonderful. What this country needs is a few more optimists like me. And the guy who wrote the advertisements for the New York Stock Exchange. Him we could use a bunch more of. Well, you will have to excuse me. I have to go warm up the TV set for Monday Night Football, and find the Carlos Castenada book I am reading. Tomorrow I worry about schizophrenia. Pax, take care. For these reasons we support the Day Care Center’s policy to get immediate and ongoing funding from the Administration. We urge the Administration to establish a funding program as soon as possible and we urge all students to demonstrate their support by writing letters to Sub-Board. Now this funding has been discontinued and the Day Care Center is in a financial crisis. In keeping with the policy of Affirmative President Ketter. Plastic utensils Yellow journalism To the Editor.

OXAKRV m* frorr here Preying on environment to ther by Garry Wills Nelson Rockefeller’s return to the national scene prompts me to take a look back on the first controversy that made him a public figure. The episode is worth recalling, if for no other reason, than because it inspired one of the better satiric poems of our time, E.B, White’s “I Paint What 1 See.” In 1932, young Rockefeller took over the building of Rockefeller Center. It was depression time, and the rising towers represented a great risk and show of confidence on his part. To add to the swashbuckling air of it all, he indulged his love for modern art and commissioned a bright mural from Diego Rivera. Young Nelson corresponded in detail on the brilliance in the colors that would be allowed a fact that White set to verse this way: “What are the colors you use when you paint? Do you use any red in the beard of a saint? If you do, is it terribly red, or faint?” Rivera went to work on the mural in the spring of 1933. Nelson gave the project a great deal of publicity, and dispensed tickets for artists and critics to enter a viewing area and watch the great man at work. Nelson even came himself, and got a good look at a new face in the design, one never mentioned in the early correspondence. White’s poem makes Nelson ask innocently: “Is it anyone’s head whom we know at all? A Rensselaer or a Saltonstall?” The head, it turned out, was that of Lenin which should have come as no great surprise. Rivera was an outspoken Marxist. Rockefeller had presumed he could buy talent on any market. Businessmen may not like the Bolshies, but they like to trade with anyone, even the devil. - — To the Editor. As winter is beginning to make its presence felt, the need for adequate clothing becomes apparent. I have noticed in recent years the very popular green, blue and purple hooded jackets and coats fringed with wolf or coyote fur. Each of these comes with a tag which reads, “Not an endangered species.” Technically this is true, for to be “endangered” depends on legislative approval. The real situation is that these species are and have been the victims of man’s most persistent extermination programs. These continue, unresponsive to findings of prey and the increased dependence on predators understanding of food chains and ecosystems. The number of wolves in North America is decreasing, habitat is shrinking and demand for their fur is increasing. 1 ask that as one prepares for this winter and winters to come, that he and she do so with a clear idea of the results of his actions. They only sell what we can be convinced to buy there is no need for you to have a wolf fur trimmed jacket, and there is a great need for wolves and all things wild. Rockefeller wrote a very tactful letter to Rivera, praising his “thrilling mural,” and saying he did not want to interfere with an artist’s work, but politely demanding that he “substitute the face of some unknown man where Lenin’s face now appears.” This became in While’s poem: “And though your art I dislike to hamper, 1 owe a little to God and Gramper.” Rivera offered to make some concessions, but not to remove Lenin: “I’ll take out a couple of people drinkin’ And put in a picture of Abraham Lincoln.” - So, since Rivera would not remove Lenin, Nelson removed the whole mural, having it chipped off the wall by his workmen. The great work of art he had praised and promoted he destroyed. This was not an act like book burning since there are other copies of most books that get burned. This was the destruction of a unique work by the artist’s own hand, and the gravity of the act is increased by the fact that Nelson sincerely does love art and tries, in most cases, to foster and preserve it, not destroy. ; Greg Borah Get to the point The episode was used, later on, by Rockefeller’s critics on the right because he dealt with a Marxist in the first place, and by those on the left to show that he repressed free thought. But what it really shows is the presumption of wealth on a scale that knows that whatever it cannot buy it can at least destroy. As White has his versifying Nelson conclude: “And after all It’s my wall.” To the Editor. In the beginning, it was fresh and innovative, but it’s long since been dead and buried. Maybe I’m getting square in my old age, but I really enjoy reading about the record, not the reviewer’s bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. How about it Jeff? Bill McFerson - Looking around New York, a Rockefeller even that young could almost paraphrase Lyndon Johnson’s later comment and say, “Son, they’re all my walls.” It would be nice to think there are some walls Mr. Rockefeller can neither buy nor rent, to decorate or deface the walls of the White House, for instance. Right to destroy To the Editor. — Election thoughts To the Editor. Inflation is ravaging all socially useful programs, including public education, while creating huge profits for large corporations. Rising costs and increased defense funding continue to squeeze out programs which aim at serving the community. At the State University at Buffalo, a minimal Day Care Center is in danger of losing its funds, a fact that will make it more difficult and even more impossible for women who cannot afford private care for their children to continue their studies. The cost of education is increasingly thrust on working people, and especially oppressed minorities, in the form of rising taxes, skyrocketing tuitions and cost of materials. An AFL-CIO study shows that working people believe that their children have the right to higher education, yet fewer and fewer can afford both the rising price of basic necessities and the rising cost of education. This fact is reflected by the significant drop in enrollment at Millard Fillmore College over the past two years. Working people cannot be expected to pay even higher taxes to meet this crisis in education and other socially needed programs. In light of this we urge all people to vote for candidates who call for: 1) Rolling back tuitions and other sky-high prices; 2) Child care as a right for women who work and study; 3) Emergency corporate tax on profits to pay for higher education and other social needs coupled with a freeze in prices; 4) Slash military spending and make billions available for health, education, social security and public works in housing, transportation and other areas to make useful jobs for all. Upon reading Steven Gaynor’s article on Yoel Krammer’s lecture, I found one important point missing. Mr. Gaynor noted that Dr. Kramer had quoted the Palestinian rhetoric which called for “a democratic secular state in which Moslems, Christians and Jews will be equal,” but Mr. Gaynor did not quote the reason why this state would not be a justifiable alternative to the present State of Israel. The present State of Israel represents the desire for self-determination by the Jewish nation (people). As Dr. Kramer pointed out, a people is defined by that people’s self-definition. The Jewish people define themselves as a religion. Consequently, the State of Israel has a right to exist, according to the principles of self-determination. Religious freedom should, and does exist in Israel, but it is and should remain a Jewish nation. Whenever the phrase self-determination is used in relation to the Middle East, it is usually in relation to the Palestinian right of self-determination. This right is not Jreing disputed by Israel. The only “right” Israel refuses to recognize is the “right” the “right” to destroy the which the PLO claims State of Israel. Peaceful co-existence between Israel and a free Palestinian state? Israel hopes for this. The PLO’s way will not lead to this, however. It will only lead to more needless bloodshed. - Committee for the Democratic Development of the University Faith M.

The move of the trial to Erie County will do little to increase the fairness of the proceedings, Dalou charged, citing a study which found that over 60 percent of Erie County residents are “conservative.” “There can only be a verdict of guilty by a conservative jury,” Dalou claimed. Dacajaweiah, another Attica Brother, also known as John Hill, echoed much of what Dalou had said, appealing in an emotional tone that often bordered on \)0.? —continued from • ■W page 1— • poetry. Dacajaweiah faces a possible life sentence if convicted on charges of murder, second degree kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, first degree coercion, and second degree assault. Contrasts “When 1 look at Attica I see ghettos, genocide, poverty and what is happening to our mother Earth.” And then 1 look at the Nixons, the Rockefellers and those in power, and see how we as a people are very expendable to the government.” Dacajaweiah accused the “State” of being the “cause of crimes and prisons which force people to struggle on the street.” Dacajaweiah maintained that in the past, children have been conditioned to accept racism, sexism and oppression. Since Attica, though, “the struggle has effected a rise in public consciousness. Children are looking at things in different light,” he said. He described the Attica revolt as a fight for freedom in which the participants were “people ground so low into the ground” that their only recourse was to stand up and proclaim their dignity as human beings. “It is hard to become a human being unless you grow, recognize, and develop the struggle to fight back, fight back on many levels.” DAILY CROSSWORD PUZZLE ‘74 Gen‘I Features Corp. 49 Old French coins vehicle 13 "Vissi d’ 60 Lance Singer Viki Tosca aria Keep beck Black eye: Slang Author Wilder 19 Panorama Belle: Sp, Town on the 21 Indianapolis 600 Olive genus entry Hudson “Turandot,” for 24 Medieval string59 Glossy nylon one ed instruments fabric A road to Rome 26 Indian, for one 60 “Woe is me!” Ravelings 26 Alegre, Brazil 61 Gnaw away City on the 62 Attend 16 Across 27 Trivial Hudson Route 63 City in Belgium 28 Town on the English Channel 64 Attendant on Hudson 29 Asian animal Bacchus port capital Breathing 30 sound Fry quickly 65 Norse 33 A lot: Colloq. —Hashana DOWN Available for 35 Monotony 1 Below zero Builders of 38 Admiral's ACROSS — 14 16 — 23 24 25 27 31 32 34 35 37 39 40 bridges weather 2 Et 3 City on the 41 43 46 Hudson Times 4 Caning material 48 5 Urban shopping Letters area 60 Science fiction 6 Swiftly 51 award 7 Apportion “Nothing dries 62 8 Actress Mary 53 sooner than 9 Excuse Bewildered 64 Teutonic: Abbr. 10 56 Denver Where 22 Across 56 11 On the end is 12 General purpose 68 Electrical unit Mountain pass Small hooter Further — —” 42 44 45 Urbanites less happy Rural residents found more ‘pleased’ with environment People living in rural areas are getting more from their environment than are their city cousins. This was one finding of a pilot research study of environmental beliefs carried out over the past year by the Social Science Research Institute at the State University at Buffalo. The project, funded under a foundation grant, attempted to measure what people were pleased with, and what they thought was important in their natural, man-made and cultural surroundings. Professional interviewers from the Survey Research Center sampled the beliefs of about 300 persons in two countries densely populated, heavily industrialized Erie County, and rustic, sparsely settled Hamilton County, in the Adirondack Mountain Park region of upstate New York. Results of the study suggest that people living in rural parts of Erie County, as well as residents of Hamilton County, were more satisfied with environment conditions than those in Buffalo and its suburbs. - Quite pleased Still, residents in all parts of Erie County were “generally pleased” with their environment, according to Lester W. Milbrath, director of the Social Science Research Institute. Dr. Milbrath’s study found that Erie County residents are “most pleased” with many of the public services they are receiving, including fire > protection, electric and postal service, garbage collection and the public water system. They are also “quite pleased” with many environmental elements over which they command some degree of control, like beauty, comfort and appliances in their homes. In addition, Erie County inhabitants are “fairly well pleased” with their relations with neighbors and fellow workers. On the negative side, Western New Yorkers expressed marked dissatisfaction with the quality of their air and water, two environmental elements they considered very important. Of the public services offered, they were least pleased with police protection. Security factors, clean air and water were also rated as top priorities by Hamilton County residents. They, too, were least satisfied with police protection. Motor nature In sharp contrast to Erie County residents, people in Hamilton County were highly pleased with the quality of their air and water. One factor to emerge from the study was a significant difference in life style between residents of the two countries, with those in the Adirondacks expressing much stronger feelings toward ‘Mother Nature’ and the outdoor way of life.

An estimated 25 percent of the 35,000 students and faculty at Brooklyn College (BC), N.Y. boycotted classes Friday, October 25. The one-day strike was called with student government backing to support the struggle of the 200 Puerto Rican students and faculty who had taken over the registrar’s and computer keypunch offices throughout the week. The demonstrators had taken over the offices to demand that Brooklyn College President John W. Kneller honor the recommendation of the faculty search committee to appoint Professor Maria Sanchez to the position of chairperson of the Puerto Rican Studies Department (PRSD). - Switch Last spring, Ms. Sanchez, a member of the department for three years, was passed up for another person, Elba Lugo invited to BC from Puerto Rico to fill the position. At a meeting with Ms. Lugo, PRSD students, faculty and staff expressed their support for Sanchez. Ms. Lugo then agreed to support the department’s decision and not to accept the job. A few weeks later, however, she was heading the department. The department unsuccessfully attempted to meet first with President Kneller, and then with the Board of Higher Education to protest the Lugo enstatement. After a rally on Friday, 18, the protesters October occupied the office of President Kneller. The sit-in ended when Kneller agreed to negotiate with a delegation the following Monday. JOIN NOW the student government cooperated in declaring a one-day moratorium on classes in support of the struggle for student rights and self-determination for Third-World peoples. Some 1000 faculty, staff and students and community people gathered for a noon rally to express their solidarity with the demonstrators. The student body President told the crowd, “It is a question of who runs Brooklyn College.” He asked, “Does it exist for the students and community or for the personal empire of one administrator? . . There must be more student input into the curriculum, teacher hiring and firing, and other college affairs.” Students from other campuses also boycotted classes to attend the rally. Among the schools represented were Hunter College, Kings Boro Community College, Lehman College and Long Island University. . 831-2145 Room 318 Norton Hall GRADUATES MFC '0f\ UNDER GRADUATES ] !

During the occupation, which lasted almost four days, the protesters met with the President three times. They proposed two points; that an impartial faculty member be allowed to inspect the registrar’s office (he found it in “immaculate condition”); and that Maria Sanchez be named acting chairperson for one year, after which a new search committee would be selected, including student representatives. President Kneller refused to compromise and instead asked State Supreme Court Judge Milton Mollen to sign an injunction resulting in the demonstrators’ arrest.

The Spectrum Page eleven ; �Urbanites less happy The survey data also suggest that people often decide where they prefer to live after weighing what is important to them. Dr. Milbrath summed this up in his research report: “Hamilton County offers a clean and beautiful natural environment, with many pleasing outdoor life possibilities, and most people who move or stay in Hamilton County prefer that way of life. The big city provides more opportunities for ‘getting ahead,’ more goods and services, but at some costs to the environment.” Therefore, while persons in Hamilton County stressed nature and outdoor living, they played down questions relating to social advancement as well as the importance of consumer products and services. This pattern was reversed in Erie County. Western New Yorkers, less concerned with the outdoors, put higher esteem on food, public services and educational opportunities. In both counties, residents rated the lack of job opportunities the most displeasing of 46 items. But Erie County residents thought job opportunities were much more important. Highly displeasing Analysis of questionnaire responses indicate that people generally attach little importance to shortcomings in their region like the variety of wildlife in Erie County or the quantity of products available in Hamilton County. In both areas, respondents noted a lack of mass transit services, but said this absence was not as important as other — things. — Your photograph can win the summer off a lifetime for you and a friend. 1.

The world famous Mr. Sun is a ninth degree black belt, the highest level of possible. He was introduced to the more than three hundred people by Buffalo karate instructor J.J. Pontillo. Pontillo, who holds the master in great esteem, explained that Mr. Sun is recognized as the instructor in 150 schools. “When I teach, I’m just filling in for him,” he said. Sun took Pontillo’s brown and black belt students and gave them commands, the force of which was striking to those who had noticed his prior cool and calm appearance. One could clearly see the veins pop out of his neck, and he sweat profusely. The commands were so loud that for the better part of the demonstration his voice was hoarse.

He explained that living in New York City subjects one to attack. He u has been accosted in the street many times. The mugger would act like a boxer, ready to start punching.

And make no mistake about the review is the proper word. The terminology budgets need not be approved again. They already have been legally passed and activated by the SA Executive Committee, under circumstances where it had not only the perfect right, but very little choice. Actually, you might call these sessions meetings. call it the Scott and Larry Show. That’s SA I executive vice president Scott Salimando and Black Student Union president Larry Williams. To paraphrase a very old saying, politics doth make strange cohosts. Scott’s role of charing these meetings involves the maintenance of order in both discussion and and his efforts have been voting procedure admirable. He is not totally impartial in that role. No one could be. Sufficient to say, a weaker personality would be hopelessly lost in his situation. Now I’m about the last one to defend Buffalo’s Athletic Department on many issues. It has made several mistakes this year alone and deserves the reprimands it has received. But it should be noted that the Assembly has been acting with even lessresponsibility. - department of theatre presents THE MISANTHROPE by Moliere i \ directed by Ward Williamson - i November 7through10th at 8:30 pm HARRIMAN STUDIO THEATRE Tickets Students 75c/ Others $1.50 available at Norton Ticket Office Straight man However, Scott is only the straight man, or so it appears, for Williams and his compatriots. Williams and others disrupted most of the Assembly budget meetings last spring. Since his audience is “hip” college students, Williams’ verbal attacks and caustic humor are more amusing than abhorent in most cases, although he has offended people on occasion. On the other hand, it is unfortunate that some students have been naive enough to believe the BSU’s physical threats, which have been thrown around with about as much seriousness as one would find in the average Woody Allen movie. For the umphteenth straight time, the Assembly can be expected to attack athletics this afternoon. Hypocrisy For instance, last week they hit the height of hypocrisy. A motion to table discussion of the budgets because several minority representatives were not in attendance, passed the Assembly without much of a struggle. Supposedly, those people were at a meeting with the administration, pleading the case of Anthony Wilson who was arrested in the Rathskellar that morning. I respect and applaud their concern for him, but it is absurd to think that last week’s meeting was any less representative of the student body than the one the week before when the same people were all set to cut the athletic budget to bits. Why didn’t they table then, anytime else, due to the fact that representatives of the athletic program were not in attendance? Why have they not made the effort to find out how much of what they are trying to cut has already been spent or committed in some fashion? Once again, and this is not the first time through the years, the Student Assembly is displaying a great lack of fiscal responsibility. The proper way to go about this is for the students to set larger questions of policy rather than fooling around with budget lines. This is a give and take situation in which the student government must get its act together and the department must start listening to them. The administration can be a pivotal force in bringing these groups together and forcing compromise. I can only hope that it does not back down from this responsibility. Wednesday, 6 November 1974 .

Page thirteen �Amateur tourney Kulu has confidence in team State championship freestyle wrestling by Dave Hnath Contributing Editor “It’s one of the biggest moments of my life,” remarked Buffalo soccer star Emmanuel Kulu. Ttye moment was the Bulls upset of top-seeded Binghamton, ranked eighth in the nation in the 3rd annual State University of New York (SUNY) centers tournament. And all Kulu did was score both Buffalo goals in the Bulls 2-1 win against the Colonials, and tally another goal against Stony Brook in the championship contest. Emmanuel received the offensive MVP award for his efforts. It wasn’t the biggest moment in Kulu’s life, however. “It’s not quite as big a moment as making my national team,” observed the 22-year-old freshman from Cameroun, a small West African nation. “There was a lot of competition back home,” he added.

The event was sponsored by the Erie County Department of Parks and recreation in association with the greater Buffalo Amateur Wrestling Club, Inc. The tournament was run under freestyle wrestling rules as opposed to collegiate rules, which American wrestlers are more familiar with. Freestyle places greater emphasis on takedowns and defense on the feet. This form is used in Olympic and world competition and is increasing in popularity in this country. Some experts feel that freestyle in the wave of the future for American wrestling, but the NCAA is adhering pretty strictly to its traditional collegiate style. Since the event was sponsored by the Amateur Athletic Union, the University could not send its collegiate team as such. However some of Buffalo’s wrestlers went and competed under the aegis of the UB wrestling club, paying their own entries fees and other costs. Buffalo’s representation was small, but some notable performances were achieved, largely by second liners. Buffalo wrestlers Tom Lloyd Jones, Jim Rosenberry and Fred Martello swept the first three spots in the 136.5 pound weight class, but the Bulls’ strongest wrestler at that weight, Jim Young, was on Long Island with the soccer team. Sweeping the honors Jones obviously enjoyed the different style. Tom dominated his weight class, recording five pins in seven matches, winning most pins award as well. He also brought home hardware for the quickest pin (21 seconds) and was named the outstanding wrestler of the tournament. Emad Faddoul, the only Bull regular at the tournament, won the 198-pound class. Freshman Kirk Anderson and graduate Bill Jacoutot took seconds. The Buffalo contingent finished first out of the six team entries. Buffalo coach Ed Michael considered the tournament very worthwhile. “It gave the boys a chance to get several matches in at this time of the year,” he said. The Bulls have been in practice for a month, but won’t have a collegiate dual meet until December. Becoming a physician is a tremendous satisfaction. Let us give you the job satisfaction that should go with it. ■ Whether you’re still in medical school with the rigors of three to five years of graduate medical education still to be faced, or are already a practicing physician, it’s our opinion that the Air Force can offer both professional and personal satisfaction hard to duplicate in civilian life. An overstatement? Not if you consider the specifics. c Take the problem of graduate medical education. It’s a period of your life the Air Force can make considerably easier with comfortable salary and living conditions. Creature comforts aside, the Air Force offers professional advantages. Besides receiving training in your own specialty, you’d be in contact with physicians in all of the medical specialties. You'll function in an environment which is intellectually stimulating and professionally challenging. Not all physicians pursue post residency fellowships. But if you are interested, the Air Force conducts them both in-house and atcivilian institutions. The physician already in practice can look forward to other things. If you want training in the practice of the medicine of the future, you’ll find it in the Air Force. For example, there’s emphasis on group medicine and preventive medicine, and the growing specially of “family physician." Whatever your interest, there are few specialties which are not beingpracticed in today’s Air Force. The physician starting his practice in civilian life has to take into account the cost of setting up an office. The physician commencing his practice in Page fourteen The Spectrum .

For example, he can consult with Air Force specialists. He also has referral to other Air Force facilities via aeromedical evacuation. Last, but not least, are the satisfactions that come with having the opportunity for regular follow-ups, and a missed appointment rale that is practically nil. Whether you arc already a physician, or soon to become one, you might find it extremely interesting find out what the Air Force has to offer. We think to it could be a real eye-opener.

Jim Peck, a staff member of the Record, explained that the incident grew out of reactions to a front page article in last Tuesday’s Record edition with the headline, "BLFB budget threatens other organizations.” The story explored budget problems of the various student organizations funded by the United Students Government (USG). Yvette LaGonterie, a representative of BLFB, said the article left many people with the impression that black students were going around threatening people’s lives, “something that never happened.” She characterized the article as ‘‘less than objective,” and “slanted as all the other articles have been,” and said she holds the Editor-in-Chief responsible. , No formal authority A number of people “blew up” at last Tuesday’s edition, according to Mr. Peck. He said Lauren Stern, USG president, threatened to fake over publication of Friday’s Record. Ms. Stern had been “pushing for the BLFB budget” all along, he pointed out. Mr. Peck called Ms. Stern an “instigator” in the action that demanded the resignations of both the Fditor-in-Chief, Lucille Burke, and the Managing editor and author of the article, Debby Ganser. The complaints were brought before the Media Board, an organization of representatives of Buffalo State’s publications and radio station, of which Ms. Burke is president. But Mr. Peck maintained that USG has no formal authority over the Record, adding that only SI 500 of the Record's S13.000 budget is subsidized by USG. Additionally, Ms. Stern demanded to know the writer of the editorial appearing in Tuesday’s paper, which has also come under attack. The paper refused to divulge the author, explaining that the entire sta'T was responsible for the editorial. Mr. Peck also explained that the paper was not “taken over" as some people have speculated. The staff collectively decided not to publish Friday’s edition, allowing the BLFB to print its own issue without using the Record's logo, he said. The Record regularly publishes Tuesday and Friday, but because of technical difficulties, the BLFB edition could not appear until today. At least one member of the Record staff criticized the paper's decision not to go to press Friday. The spokesman feared it would set a precedent whereby other organizations could demand their own issues of the Record when they felt an injustice was done. “All credibility will be shot to hell,” she said. Ms. Burke, an architect of the staff decision to cancel Friday’s issue, said she wanted “to give the BLFB an opportunity to say what they want to say.” Good opportunity She claimed that in past years, minority students at Buffalo Slate have received biased and unfair treatment by the Record. She also admitted there have been inaccuracies in Record articles. “We did not check our facts over as completely as we should have," she said. “We’re going to be more careful and research what we report Ms. Burke said the incident, which made her more aware of “the effect we have on people,” was a good opportunity to let the BLFB “see what it’s like to run a paper Today's paper will consist of both objective articles and editorial comment. Ms. LaGonterie said, with emphasis on the latter. She explained that BLFB was not the only group to receive unfair newspaper coverage, and that this would be an express everyone s opportunity to views BLFB will ask for a permanent insert to appear in all subsequent issues of the Record. Ms. LaGonterie said. Additionally, she is skeptical about the effect the incident will have on future editorial policy of the paper. “For editorial policy to be changed, the editorial board must be changed,” she maintained. Woody Allen Ms. Stein feels the Record has lost perspective of what issues are important to Buffalo State students. “The Record's going to have to be more responsible," she said, noting that she will propose guidelines to improve communications Ms. Stern is particularly concerned over the Record's “ability for creative writing.” inaccuracies and misquotes. Although Ms. Stern feels the Record’s editorial policy has at times been racist, she is more concerned with improving competency and accuracy USG should have acted as a mediator in the dispute. Ms. Peck said, but Ms. Stern claimed USG's involvement was necessary "because we have a responsibility to represent students." The student government president also charged that "many students consider the Record worthless.” explaining that the paper should be more accountable to students. Ms. Stern requested Mr. Peck the editors’ resignations because situation as they continued the “subjective Woody Allen reporting" of past years. Record will Community described the entire a scene from “a movie,” but felt the come out ahead.” When the Record resumes publishing this week, “we’ll tell the story of what happened,” he said. involvement College E shifts its emphasis by Richard Korman lor resident counselors. Campus 1'ililor College E has shifted from a generalized pursuit of creativity experimentation to and a com m unity-controlled program directed at non-traditional and minority students. Col lege spokesmen told the Chartering Committee Thursday night. It is now known as Cora P. Maloney College, or the College of the Poor. The College will be the educational vehicle for improving life and will act as an some for of t he agent non-traditional students on campus. College representatives said. It will assure that both traditional and “new” students (working adults and members of minority groups) have adequate resources to pursue successful careers, the College charter stales. The new leadership defined minority students as those who have least been served by the traditional academic programs. “Students with American Express cards, good SAT's, good grade point averages and well formed egos probably won't need the services of the College,” explained Frank Brown, associate professor of education and chairman of the Minority Faculty and Stall Association. Dr. Brown is the prospective director of the College. The residential program will be a base for counseling and remedial services, as well as a setting for Community-University interaction and social activities, spokesman indicated. The charter provides community academic and EOP Wasting time spend students inordinate amounts of time trying to maintain their status as students or departmental majors, said administrative officer Eva Ligde. This time could he better spent formulating a long-range academic program that is directed toward a specific occupational goal, she said. The College will he governed by thirty-one a member Community Planning Board (CPB). The board will consist of 20 community representatives, six College I student representatives and five representatives for participating faculty members. CPB President Lionel Davis said the Planning Board would monitor College courses and programs to determine if they suit the needs of poor people. Mr. Davis said that the country toward two separate moving is societies: one for the wealthy and one for everyone else. In the past, the University and community have operated as two distinct entities, he explained. "We must begin to cooperate," Mr. Davis Many added How it differs Committee chairperson Pam Benson asked the College E representatives how their College differed from existing University programs. “What is unique? Do you feel you overlap?” she asked. All social sciences overlap." a It’s a pokes in un replied question ot orientation. Cora 1’ Maloney College has much more of a professional services orientation,” she explained. One committee member asked if the College would make an effort to recruit students from all parts of the University and of all ethnic persuasions. “There’s no intention here to sponsor a Third World residential program,” Dr. Brown answered. He asked if the committee had been equally concerned about other Colleges being all white. Several committee members immediately replied that they had. Diverse interests Last year, as College E began prepare for the chartering process, four separate interests were identified: media studies, alternative symbolic forms, to paraphychological phenomena and mystical experiences and "minority This last interest was considered to be the most desirable direction for the College, College spokesmen reported The open hearing Tuesday afternoon was interrupted by a bomb threat apparently unrelated to the Chartering Committee hearings. Campus Security reported that a male telephone caller who identified himself as a member of the Puerto Rican Liberation Army, warned that a bomb would explode in Foster Hall between 5 and 7 p.m. Investigators found no explosives the in the building, but Committee hearing was moved to Norton Hall. �Clifford Furnas College — Serious students emerge asfocus of charter by Mike McQuire Spectrum Staff Writer defense same body can certainly co-exist Clifford with Furnas, John Greenwood, graduate student An active intellectual and social life for the representative on the Committee, contrasted the “serious student” was cited by Clifford Fumas CFC hearing with that of the College of the Poor College representatives as justifying its chartering at (formerly College E) held earlier in the day. “We’ve heard from the College of the Poor,” the open hearing of the Colleges Chartering Greenwood. “Now we’re from what can Hall. said Committee Thursday in Foster One CFC student told the 60 College members be called in the broad sense the college of the rich,” and observers present that he liked the “ability to When some CFC members protested, Mr. Greenwood meet distinguished faculty on a personal level.” explained that he meant rich in a cultural snese. Another said he had been living a “Renaissance-type Most of the College’s members, he said, were from existence” since joining the College. “The College is the New York "City area and from the white like a home, a family,” said a member of the upper-middle class. “Does the College have the residential unit in Ellicott. Throughout the College’s responsibility to educate its students to the real presentation, students and faculty praised the world?” The real world is in Tower Dorm,” he said. One CFC student replied that there was no “serious” students that CFC attracts. screening of students wishing to.join the College, except that any shortage of dorm space in the future CFC withdrawal Most of the questions asked by committee will result in the favoring of the more academically members of the College centered around its advanced (meaning graduate and upper division) withdrawal from the Collegiate Assembly last spring. students. Another student added that unlike Jonathan Reichert, a non-voting committee member Housing, CFC does not set a 50-mile limit on dorm and author of the Reichert prospectus, asked what requests, so that the College may be the only dorm the relation of College would be with the new with representation from Western New York. Colleges Council. The question appeared to divide College members. A1 Koslow, a graduate student and a College member, defended the decision to drop out of the Assembly. That body is dominated by non-residential, mostly radical colleges, he claimed, and CFC was shortchanged on funds because of its conservatism and residential nature. Mr. Koslow suggested “giving the Council a chance,” but said the College should retain the option of seceding if the Council does not work out. Bernadette Welch, another CFC student, disagreed, saying that the College should wait and possibly join the Council after seeint it in operation. Ms. Welch said she resented the pressure exerted by the old Assembly on CFC’s teaching methods and materials. A third Furnas member asserted that the Collegiate Assembly is an excellent mechanism for “buying off radicals” by granting college minimal budgets. Furnas faculty members spoke both for and against joining the Council at its outset. College mandate At this point, Dr. Reichert announced that participation in the Council is not voluntary but is required by the Prospectus, and he expressed doubt that he would recommend voting for any college seeking exceptions to that document. He said CFC is one of two colleges seeking chartering under what he termed “special circumstances. (He declined to name the second.) Jackie Finlay, a member of the Committee and College B, which had once co-resided with CFC when Tower Hall was used as a dormitory, would welcome its return to inter-college governance.

The lectures were part of a Peace Center-sponsored “Week of Concern.” William Price. F versity District City Councilman, spoke Thursday about defense expenditures. He was particularly concerned with reducing United states weapons systems and Defense Department spending. “In fiscal year 19 7 4. mi 1 i t ary and military-related spending accounted for nearly 59 percent of the money allocated by Congress,” Mr. Price said.

Bill Price ETS: prep courses and experimental questions by llene Dube Feature Editor Editor’s note: This is the second a two-part series on the Educational Testing Service of Everytime you take a test form Testing Service (ETS) you are contributing to the pool of future test questions. About 20 percent of all ETS exams have experimental the Educational questions which could be used on future tests if the ETS determined that a sufficient number of questions correctly. have The staff of been answered question writers, usually have had a background in teaching, draw questions from magazines, college tests, and other sources. Each new question undergoes two years of pampering involving editing, pretesting and more editing before it is used in the scoring of a test. Steven Brill, a writer for New who York Page two . The Spectrum . Monday, 4 November 1974 magazine who has studied the ETS question designing process, reprinted the directions in the ETS Instruction Manual: “Avoid the tendency to make the correct answer longer than the distractors [wrong answers) and remember that it is desirable to have items that range from easy to hard.” The question writers are given a week or two of training before they begin work. Never changing test One problem with the method of designing these questions is that the test can never change. “It is making the assumption that the old test is good for assessing new questions,” said Sidney Shrauger, Associate Chairman of the Department of Psychology at this University. A person could conceivably perform well on a new set of questions, but if he did not score comparatively well on the established questions, the experimental questions would probably be dropped. If, however, there was a substantial trend in this direction, “ETS would pick it up.” The way racism, sexism, and socio-economic background is “sneaked” into the questions is not quite as apparent as it was ten years ago. Dr. Shrauger, described the LSAT as it was when he took it: “1 was personally struck by the number of questions dealing with athletics.” Also questions about styles of women’s clothing and brands of Scotch and Bourbon he —continued on page 5— The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer by The Spectrum Student Periodical Inc.

As proof of his tough stance on crime, he has cited his support of bills reinstating capital punishment for felony murders and eliminating the need for corroboration in rape convictions.

He has assailed Mr. Carey for making “irresponsible” promises to hold the line on tuition and work for a tuition rollback. Mr. Wilson opposes free tuition because he feels the 16ss of $150 million revenue will imbalance the state budget and require increased taxation at a time of “doubleKligit” inflation. The Governor is also against placing one voting student on the State University of New York Board-of Trustees and one on each ctf the local College Councils, a position advanted by the .Student Association of the State University (SASU). Mr. Wilson will not automatically oppose any legislation aimed at curtailing student mandatory fees, and does not think students should be allowed to vote in their school districts since in most cases, it is not their permanent residence. Monday, 4 November 1974 The Spectrum Page three . . c < �Kemp: cuts in spending will balance the budget by David Haitian Staff Writer Spectrum “A real balanced budget” is the solution to the nation’s inflationary woes, according to Rep. Jack Kemp, Republican incumbent in the 38th Congressional district. Borrowing money to pay the national debt forces the government to take money that should be invested privately, he maintained. Mr. Kemp called for “across the board” cuts in federal spending, noting that every bill that passes through Congress should state its impact on the nation’s economy. The oversupply of money that has been created through the Federal Reserve System in response to government spending is not in line with national productivity and has “debased the currency,” he charged. * Magic wand Jack Kemp in defense spending “no Calling magic $vand” for freeing federal funds for prograins responding to “human needs,” Mr. Kemp said existing programs that exhibif “apparent manifestations of waste” should be cut. He claimed that one of every six Americans are presently employed by the government, a situation cuts requiring “a hard look at government bureaucracy.” Mr. Kemp proposed cuts in foreign aid, noting that the U.S. is now lending the Soviet Union funds to develop natural gas at an interest rate of 6 percent, when Americans are paying at least 12 percent. “Foreign aid should be reasonable,” he said. He does not support a peacetime draft, but said a good deal of the money slated for defense is the “price we’re paying for a volunteer army.” Citing Congress for blaming the President for the nation’s economic difficulties, Mr. Kemp noted that in 1974, Congress passed a spending limit of $260 billion and then appropriated a total of $272 billion. “High prices are the result, not the cause of inflation,” he noted, explaining that he was against any laws cutting prices below their “natural” level. Tremendous increases “There is still competition in the petroleum industry,” Mr. Kemp claimed, explaining that the financial situation of the nation’s major oil companies is not as it may seem. He said the huge profit increases of oil corporations are “necessary” because of tremendous increases in the cost of drilling. When Mobil Oil, for instance, earned $2.5 billion, it invested $3.5 billion in drilling, research and excavation, he noted. Incentives to develop energy resources abroad like the proposed foreign depletion allowance, must be stopped, Mr. Kemp stressed. “We have turned our backs on developing our own resources,” he said, adding that by allowing the price of gas to reach its “natural level,” no matter how high, it would create “an incentive for people to conserve as well as to produce.” This would contrast with present “disincentives for American exploration.” Defending the CIA as a legitimate agency, Mr. Kemp said the organization “needs exposure to Congress.” He supports limitations on CIA activity and believes Congress should play a “watchdog role” through its monetary controls. Two-party system Tufning to campaign financing, he said the bjjl just passed by Congress “is a 0 healthy stgrt.” He favors a mixture of public and private campaign financing, to preserve tjie two-party system. He admltted.that public financing could favor a multi-pSrty system though, and cited Italy and France as proof that spch systems do hot present a viable alternative". 3 Mr/ Kemp attacked Congressional inactivity, noting., that Awhile Cohgress has been presented' withrthe opportunity to regain its initiative, itrJias opted tc5 wait, even 'in a time of severe" inflation. He expressed hope that: the recent Presidential transition “could be a catharsis*” opening up a more favorable power position for Congress. Raise confidence Discussing seniority and committee leadership in Congress, Mr. Kemp said organizational changes now balance seniority and merit through the employment of the secret ballot, making committee chairmen more accountable to committee members. He called this “a healthy compromise.” Wicks stresses a ‘fresh approach to many issues 9 Admittedly unfamiliar with the technical arguments regarding nuclear power plant safety.

I certainly don’t want something that's unsafe, but I haven't got any philosophical reasons for being for or against nuclear power plants." Ms. Wicks did express concern, though, that the U.S. is using up energy too rapidly, and she is troubled philosophically “because while we’re in bad shape now. it's relative to how bad the rest of the world is." She feels “the oil companies could put their time to finding new resources they seem to be making enough profits to be able to. . . . We’re probably going to have to change our way of living a bit so that we don’t use quite so much energy.” Barbara Wicks, Democratic-Liberal candidate for Congress in the 38th District, presents what she calls a “fresh eye” on the political process in contrast to her opponent’s “plastic representation.” Ms. Wicks now serves on the Hamburg Town Council, the first woman to hold such a seat. Active in the League of Women Voters and in various civic groups, she holds an MS in Social Studies from the State University College at Buffalo. She has taught American History, Government and Sociology courses at both high school and college levels. Ms. Wicks favors government limitations on CIA activities. “I think the kind of action in Chile is the same kind of thing we’ve had in the United States,” she says. “It’s hideous to go in and try to destroy somebody else’s, elected government for what 1 think seem to be economic reasons that have to do with the copper interests.” - — Reform Ms. Wicks supports reforms, such as a computerized information system, which would provide more information to members of Congress. She urges a depoliticization of the Justice Department and the IRS, “but how we do it is the big Question because virtually everything is political.” She also supports strict public End aid Ms. Wicks also favors an end to military aid to South Vietnam, although in her view, such military assistance, even though it is helping to prolong the conflict, may have to be withdrawn slowly. ft .‘"EL.

Esposito City Editor Robert Abrams, Democratic Bronx Borough President, is challenging Louis Lefkowitz in tojnorrow’s eleciton. Mr. Lefkowitz, the Republican incumbant, has become a virtual institution as the State’s Attorney General. If elected, Mr. Abrams, a New York University Law School graduate, would be the state's first Democratic Attorney General in 32 years. During his three terms in the State Assembly, Mr. Abrams wrote the legislation to create the first prison work-release program in the state. He was active in the fight to mandate compulsory investigation of child abuse cases, and to establish a statewide register of child abuse reports to aid in the detection and treatment of “battered children.” Criticizes Lefkowitz Mr. Abrams has repeatedly criticized his opponent’s record in office, charging that “Louis Lefkowitz calls himself ‘The People’s Lawyer,’ but in fact Louis Lefkowitz has been the governor’s lawyer and has not fought the people’s fight. A people’s lawyer would have fought exploitation by the insurance companies and banks, but the governor’s lawyer defended that exploitation. A people’s lawyer would have stood up to the monopoly utilities; the governor’s lawyer gave them free rein. “A people’s lawyer would have gone all out to preserve the rich heritage of our natural environment; the governor’s lawyer tolerated the fouling of our air and water by reckless industrial polluters. Powerful special interests have been permitted to plunder New York State at the people’s expense. And the governor’s lawyer has let them get away with it,” Mr. Abrams has also pledged to break up the “cozy relationship between the Republican establishment and the giant banks and corporations.” He said that “Among the worst offenders have been the electric, gas, and telephone monopolies, which have been granted exorbitant rate hikes year after year.” He has called for a “crackdown on price-fixing and anti-consumer conspiracies by the oil industry, giant food combines, supermarket chains, mortgage lenders, insurance companies, and others whose high level corporate manipulations fuel the fantastic inflation that has drained the pocketbooks and wallets of working men and women from Buffalo to Brooklyn.” Prosecute crime The Bronx chief executive promises to “give top priority to the prosecution of organized crime and official corruption, along with massive reform of our revolving-door prison system and unjust court procedures.” Mr. Abrams says he will fight to “safeguard the precious personal liberties,” to “advance the civil rights” of all New Yorkers, and to decentralize many government services. He decries illegal wiretapping, compulsory lie detector tests and the compiling of secret dossiers by government agencies, and will seek to end discrimination based on race, religion, national origin, sex, or sexual orientation. Utility rates He led the successful fight to compel the state’s Public Service Commission to revamp the New York Telephone Co.’s rate zone structure for the first time in 30 years. He has also demanded that no utility rate increases be granted without a full, independent public audit of the utility’s books.

Page five �I Editorial Carey for governor As a member of the House of Representatives for the past 14 years, Hugh Carey has displayed the qualities that will make him an effective governor of New York State. Mr. Carey has taken a - progressive glance on many crucial educational issues, pledging to maintain current tuition levels and study the feasibility of a tuition rollback. "The state, not the students, should bear the burden of financing high education in these days of high inflation," Mr. Carey has said. On the issue of student financial aid, Mr. Carey supports the creation of a state work-study program and has endorsed the Student Association of the State University's (SASU) proposal to revise the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). The revisions would eliminate the tuition differentials between upper and tower division students; reinstitute the former method of increasing awards to families with more than one child attending college; extend awards to matriculated half-time students; and allow five-year awards for students who transfer from two to four-year colleges. Mr. Carey believes students should active in University governance. He would appoint a voting SASU-elected representative to the State Univesrity ~B<jard of Trustees and support the election of individual student body representatives to their local College Councils. Additionally, Mr. Carey has been openly critical of attempts by be previous Republican legislatures to eliminate the student mandatory fee, and has pledged support for an amendment to allow students to vote in their school districts In contrast to Mr. Carey's forward-looking educational views Governor Malcolm Wilson has an insensitive, condescending attitude toward students. His public posture of saying he has no immediate plans to raise tuition has contrasted sharply with private statements that he may increase and even double tuition if re-elected Mr. Wilson opposes student representation on State wide and local governance boards, and could not be relied on to oppose any legislation aimed at eliminating the student mandatory fee. Finally, Mr. Wilson does not think students should be allowed to vote in a locality that isn't their pernament residence, i.e. their school districts. In contrast to the Wilson administration's plodding approach to urban problems, Mr. Carey will fight to restore and strengthen the voice of cities in the State capital, as he did by engineering the revenue , Pulls no punches To the Editor. 1 have just finished reading your Malcolm Wilson and want compliment you on the accurate report in interview It has been said that Wilson tells it like it Berkeley Legislative profile Because tomorrow's election will have a significant impact on both and local levels, the voters of New York State should do whatever they can to obtain a thorough knowledge of where the different candidates stand.

Stressing that the middle income family has been taxed enough, promised not to raise taxes for lower and middle income families, while his opponent has made no such pledges, even though he has made "double-digit inflation" the catchphrase of his campaign. While Mr. Wilson advocates a conservative, hands-off approach to ending inflation, Mr. Carey said he would use his Congressional influence to see that middle income families are not further squeezed by President Ford's surtax proposal. All of Mr. Carey's progressive activities in the area of tabor have won him the endorsement of the State AFL-CIO and the Civil Servant's Employee Association (CSEA).

When asked about the present economic Turning to Watergate, Mr. Liebowitz. the I‘■>73 Labor Party candidate for mayor of Buffalo, called the entire affair an “pbvious hoax. It was a CIA plot to discredit Nixon and get Rockefeller in office,” he claimed, adding that the use of "a half-platoon of Cuban Gusanos was an outright blunder which any capable people trained in espionage could have avoided. Mr. Liebowitz saw the National Employment Relocation Act (NERA) as the beginning of “the setting up of slave labor camps in the U.S.” The bill, which is now before the House of Representatives, was introduced by Sen. Walter Mondale (D., Minn.), and has the support by Rep. Jack Kemp (R., N.Y.), among others. “This bill,” Mr. Liebowitz argued, “is identical to Adolf Hitler’s public works program.” In addition, Mr. Liebowitz charged that the racial situation in Boston has been brought about by CIA activity there, declaring that “Boston is now undergoing a process of military invasion.” Spectrum “Psychological warfare in the form of deliberate is being waged upon the American people,” charged Ira Liebowitz, U.S. Labor Party candidate for Congress on Thursday, promising that “my campaign will use platforms to educate the people.” One of the fundamental issues in this election is that Nelson Rockefeller is deliberately controlling food and oil shortages as a way of scaring the working class, Mr. Liebowitz continued. “There is no existing institution to stop Rockefeller but the United States Labor Party,” he said.

But if it’s a standoff, we will freeze the budget.” In response to the question of whether or not the department would actually stop operations, Mr. Jackalone said, “I assume that at that point, it is Dr. Ketter’s responsibility."

Mailbox number 3 in Norton Hall now serves as an “outlet for any and all complaints” regarding landlord-tennant relations, Mr. Presberg said. He promised that every letter will be thoroughly investigated and followed through until a solution has been reached. “I know the Buffalo Housing Code backwards and forwards,” claimed Mr. Presberg, expressing his willingness to become personally involved with every case. “The mailbox will serve as a referral service, a liaison between students and the appropriate agency to which a complaint should be addressed,” he explained. Absentee landlords Mr. Price headed a housing symposium on Oct. 7 that included members of the Mayor’s Housing Task Force. At this meeting he noted that housing in the Main Street area has deteriorated over the past few years, citing absentee landlords as directly responsible. Excess garbage, poor kitchen and plumbing facilities and landlords’ using security deposits to intimidate students are among the more frequent complaints, he said. Shortly after the symposium, Mr. Presberg conducted a written survey on multiple-owner absentee landlords, the results of which indicated that most students do not know to whom to turn with their complaints. As head of the Student Housing Task Force, Mr. Presberg has become familiar with many agencies concerned with housing violations, like the Bureau of Inspections and Licenses, the City Health Department, the Buffalo Common Council, the University Student Rights Association, and the Legal Aid Clinic. Mr. Presberg is an intermediary between these organizations and individual students. He is confident of the potential effectiveness of the new mailbox comment. At press time, Dr. Charles Fogel, assistant to Executive Vice President Albert Somit, could state only that he felt the Athletic Department and the SA were “not far apart,” SA officials feel the administration will back them not only in respect to the Athletic Department, but in regard to the SA as well. The assembly has been attempting to make substantial cuts in the athletic budget in order to allocate more money to give to other organizations. SA vice president Scott Salimando said his office, as well as the administration, must' maintain both the intramural and intercollegiate budgets as the Executive Committee originally passed them. “I don’t foresee any big changes in the budget,” Mr. Salimando said. “1 think the administration does not want to step in here, but it they have to, 1 think they will.” Mr. Salimando's analysis, the intramural and recreation lines will be restored because they are a stated SA priority, while intercollegiate sports cannot be drastically cut became there haye been too many contract commitments made.

The department is encouraged but pessimistic about his effort. Jackalone, at first amused by the thought, now admits that if Lapiana can get enough support he would consider bringing the question to a student referendum, along with the mandatory fee, which comes up for approval in the spring. —Center by John Reiss Staff Writer Spectrum Since varsity football is no longer a part of the campus scene here, intramural touch football has taken over. More than 60 teams in 10 leagues from both campuses clash each fall in hopes of attaining the playoff.

I don’t know which,” he said. “But it takes someone like that to get something like this done.” Perhaps he is right, particularly with the odds so strongly against his cause.

The players have competed together, so they know each other well. Teams that stay together know the rules and can make piays that work.” The Scopers are one of these teams. Made up of varsity baseball players and their friends, they are considered favorites to go all the way. Last year, they finished third in the playoffs, losing to the eventual champions in the semi-finals. “Maybe I’m prejudiced, but I think they’re going to win,” said Montour, a former Scoper himself. “Teams can’t win on just talent alone. They must be organized, and organization is something at which the Scopers excel.” True to their reputation, the Scopers have won their first two games this season. However, other favorites, like Kelly’s Pride and the Brunners, have been upset in the early going. I Dark free off - credit card«| �CLASSIFIED FM stereo tuner. Very $70.00. 636-4520.

An overflow crowd of around 300 College members and observers cheered College representatives, and hissed at questioning chartering committee members. Jane Jennings, a member of the College, said Women’s Studies was set up in 1972 to combat sexist practices at the State University at Buffalo. Its activities have included participation in national regional women’s conferences, and it has provided a model for other schools setting up similar program, in addition to serving as a place where women can exchange ideas. Share responsibility Marge Kramer, another College representative, declared that individuals take their share of responsibility for the whole College program. In many courses, teaching duties are shared, and there is no distinction made between differend members of the College in Us governance structure, she said. “Each member of the College has a share of the work, the responsibility, and the power,” she added. Ms. Kramer concluded with a call for integrating experimental programs such as Women s Studies into the mainstream of the University, rather than leaving them on the periphery. Colleges Dean Irving Spitzberg asked the college exactly how its introductory course, Women In Contemporary Society, is taught collectively. College members responded that the course is an analysis of the experiences of women in society, and thus undergraduates, grad students, faculty members, and community women all contribute without relying on traditional academic roles Many of the questions asked by the Chartering Committee concerned the role of men in Women’s Studies, both in class and in the College’s governance. A member of the College explained that there are only a few courses in which men are requested not to register, including one which leaches female physiology. Jonathan Reichert, chartering committee member and author of the Reichert Prospectus questioned College members about their governance structure. He asked why the charter stated only that all women, instead of all members, would be eligible for roles in governance. A College member replied that “women” was used in the generic sense to mean “person,” in much the same way that “men” is often used without meaning males exclusively. June Lapidus, an undergraduate member of the committee, added that every other charter had used “men” in the same generic sense, without any protest by the committee. This prompted an angry response by Dr. Reichert, which was drowned out by applause for Ms. Lapidus’ remark. Community ties Charles Ebert, Dean of Undergraduate Education, asked whether men would actually be excluded from any class. A College member replied that the only course in which people have been turned away is Women In Contemporary Society, in which preference has been given to women and which has attracted 100 people more than could be registered this semester. One committee member asked the College why its courses are not offered through the American Studies program, since many of the College’s faculty come from that department. A College member answered that as a department or even a program, important community ties would not be possible. Yoram Szckely, Director of the Undergraduate Library, asked if there is an effort to recruit regular faculty from places other than American Studies. A College member responded that women faculty are actively recruited from other sources but that role conflicts like child-care duties prevent many from being active in Women’s Studies. Clear violation Jackie Finley, a College’s representative on the committee, asked if the College’s ambitious aims of “changing consciousness” can be maintained with its current budget, and if the College might consider becoming a University program to secure adequate funding. Women’s Studies coordinator Therese Epstein replied that the colleges have never been funded adequately, and that the possibility of Women’s Studies’ being transformed into a program was always present, but that a decision is impossible now. Ms. Epstein urged the chartering committee to use every means to acquire adequate funding from the Administration. Barbara Handschu, a practicing attorney in Buffalo, said that the University would be in clear violation of Affirmative Action guidelines were it not to charter Women’s Studies College. She cited the Law School’s cancellation of the Women’s Rights workshop and the substitution of the Simulated Law Firm, and said she would be “proud” to handle any litigation should the / be chartered. community groups sentA number of University and Women’s Studies College be representatives to request that the statements included Attica chartered.

The motion to table was introduced by Doris Diaz, SA Minority coordinator. Deliberating over the budgets while the minority student representatives were absent was unfair and unrepresentative, Ms. Diaz told the Assembly. Some observers feel the decision to delay the budget hearings was a victory for those who advocate substantial cuts in the Athletic Department budgets. Minority students are known to oppose the large allocation to Athletics. After tfie Assembly spent a few minutes discussing other business. President Frank Jackalone spoke in defense of the Athletic budget, urging that no further cuts be made. “We didn’t have a student referendum saying we should cut athletics by $200,000,” Mr. Jackalone said. “We didn’t have a student voice saying we should make huge cuts here and huge additions here.” Mr. Jackalone asked the Assembly to “stop wasting time” deliberating over the budgets and get to work on other issues. He cited several thousand dollars worth of cuts already made in the budget and asked the Assembly to “think of the students (involved in athletics), don’t necessarily think of the Athletic Department.” He said SA made commitments and should not reneg on them. “I’m asking you not to make those cuts,” he concluded.

Board of Regents urges tuition hike The New York State Board of Regents’ annual report has urged the governor and State Legislature to increase tuition for State University of New York (SUNY) schools. Adopted October 24, the “Regents 1974 Progress Report on Education Beyond High School” contains various recommendations for the state-wide development of post-secondary education. New York State law requires the Regents, whose members are elected by the Legislature, to submit a formal report on Higher Education to the Governor and Legislature every November 1. The report advised the State University to' re-examine its tuition schedule to determine if further adjustments are necessary to keep pace with rising costs. During a period of inflation, the Regents advised, tuition levels would be expected to rise in relationship to price level increases in all sectors of Higher Education. Neglect Ray Glass, legislative director of the Student Association of the State University (SASU), emphasized that the report does not differ from previous policies of the Board of Regents. During the last legislative session, the Regents devised a new student financial aid program that would have offered substantial financial assistance to students attending the more expensive private colleges while providinly only negligible increases for SUNY sudents. The rationale was to reinstate a “competitive equilibrium” between the SUNY colleges and the private institutions which supposedly were having financial problems. However, a similar financial aid package, the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), was passed by the State Legislature. Charging that the Regents have traditionally been the mouthpiece for private colleges, Mr. Glass said, “This policy (to increase SUNY tuition] represents a continuation of their policy of neglect toward public higher education.” The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer by The Spectrum Student Periodical Inc.

FOR YOU. le, Treasurer �4-point proposal Administration keeps Day Care Center open by Mitchell Regenbogen Campus Editor Day Care Center representatives have adopted a four-point proposal by the Administration that commits the University to keeping the Center operating for the remainder of the semester and establishes tentative procedures for working out the Center’s long-range funding dilemna. The administration proposal was presented to Day Care representatives Sunday at a meeting with Merton Ertell, acting vice-president for Academic Affairs. Also present at the meeting were Anthony Lorrenzetti, associate vice-president for Student Affairs, Donald Larson, associate vice-president for Health Sciences, and Dorothy Lin, a representative of the School of Social Work. The four-point plan stresses the University’s intention of maintaining day care as an ongoing program and establishes a “senior advisor” to help the Center present its budget needs and assist it in “getting the right amount of money,” according to Kathline Cassiol, Day Care Center director. It also calls for the organization of a consortium of groups concerned with day care to work out the Center’s future funding. Ultimatum Although Day Care representatives have informed Dr. Ertell of their agreement with the proposal, Ms. Cassiol felt the four-point plan was an ultimatum. “If we didn’t acdept the terms,” she said, “the Center would probably have to close.” The administration’s proposal, which was outlined in a letter drafted by Dr. Ertell, was agreed upon after a long debate over parental control of Day Care operations, Ms. Cassiol said. “Parents are vitally concerned with making an important contribution to the Day Care Center’s activities,” she emphasized. The role that parents will play in developing the consortium and influencing future policy making, however, has yet to be decided, Ms. Cassiol explained. Thus, while the Day Care representatives have agreed they feel the issue is still surrounded by ambiguity and plan to work for more satisfactory representation. “Parents do not consider the battle won they want a vote,” Ms. Cassiol asserted. - The Day Care Center has been trying to secure funds for its continued operation since the beginning of the semester, because of a cutback of $29,000 from Sub-Board. Day Care supporters have been staging rallies several times a week to dramatize their plight. After being told by the Administration that they must become tied to an academic unit to receive funds, Day Care representatives contacted the seven University provosts to try to work out some kind of arrangement. They were subsequently informed that it was Dr. Ertell, not the provosts, who had the authority to channel faculty salary lines into the Day Care Center. Last week, Day Care Center representatives rejected a proposal by Dr. Ertell to divert funds from the Center’s Spring budget into its current budget because they felt it would result in a severe financial crisis in January. By accepting the four-point plan, the Day Care Center’s rejection may not apply any more, Ms. Cassiol explained. However, she said that diverting funds from next semester’s Day Care budget into this semester would still not be sufficient.

Members read poems, a parable and cited a diversity of programs and experiences to give the Committee an idea of what their College is about. The open hearing was far livlier than previous hearings where other Colleges gave oral presentations and then answered questions from the Committee, a long tedious process which sometimes bored the participants and wore thin the Committee’s patience. Instead, College F distributed name cards, programs, apples and encouraged participation from the audience and the Committee. Its answers to Committee inquiries were often punctuated b'' enthusiastic bursts of applause. But the College’s constituency was also mindful of the grave nature of the hearing, which will partly determine whether they will be recommended for chartering by the Committee. “The future of our College, and directly some of our lifestyles, is at stake,” said student Jeff Benson. Anarchy and collectivism College F stresses anarchy and collectivism. Its pedagogical style relates individual experiences to broader, more abstract ideas by means of open, meaningful dialogues. Courses arise from the “felt needs” of students who are much more motivated than under normal circumstances, the College’s representatives told the Committee. Collectivity does not contradict anarchy, they pointed out. Instead, the charter maintains that collectivity is a way to link community experiments to a broader range of activities. “Cooperatives, political collectives, urban communes, farming communities, our own staff, ethnic groups, some extended families, and similar groupings all share the experience of a small group of people, with a common trust and purpose acting together,” the charter states. The idea of relating a person’s experiences or present situation to an abstract idea was also emphasized. “It means that during a discussion of some abstract idea, we try to think of some experience in our lives in which that idea is rooted, sometimes experiences happening right in the classroom,” the charter explains. Paradigms Mr. Benson related his experiences in a College F course, the Mass Psychology of Facism, where he said the relationships between the students in class were shown to be paradigms for all the repressive tendencies in mankind. “You do not have to study Germany in 1930 to study facism, racism or sexism. You can study College F, the people within ten feet of you in a classroom,” he said. The College, Mr. Benson added, has “the ability to assimilate five steps of education into one.” Several speakers indicated that College F was the first place they had been able to engage in frank and open discussions about themselves and their relationships to other people. The classes in Male Studies, they said, were especially successful in breaking down the usual backslapping, supportive, chauvinist-based male exchanges which society encourages, they said. The class provided some with “the first real male relationships anyone in that class ever had,” one student claimed Another student told the Committee about his first contacts with College F, about 2 years ago, when he was first coming out as a gay person. “It was very helpful to have people to help me put it together. It was the only place to have free, open discussions.” A prominent part of the College is its course on the Polish-American Experience in Buffalo. “We found it strange that in a city this size, where one out of three people are Polish, there is no program for Polish studies,” explained Jack Bayer, who teaches the course. The course carefully studies the Polish family unit in Europe around 1900 and the way this unit changed with immigration to America. It discusses Polish-Americans in different areas of the city, state country. and Polish-American students are encouraged to discuss their background and feelings about their heritage. One Polish-American student who took the class read his poem “In the Flavor,” which described his reactions to his background and his people. Another student, Dave Fisher, read his poem about the relationship between his father and himself, entitled, “My Father Going to Work.” Guru and Slug College F instructor Bob Haskoff began the the story of Abigail, Benjamin, Sinbad, Guru and Slug, and then asked volunteers to list the characters in order of moral value. Mr. Haskoff said such exercises can be used with role-playing and role-switching, which reveal the complexity of the moral judgements involved. Committee members asked the College to describe what made them unique to the University and thereby deserving of being chartered. “The uniqueness is that people are learning in College F. Most of the University is dead, it’s a farce,” instructor Paul Desing said. The relationship here [the University] destroys learning, he added, but College F has a way of getting around this. “You can see the vitality here,” Mr. Desing remarked. One student felt the Committee’s insistence on “uniqueness” within the University and the Collegiate system coupled with the demand for academic legitimacy put the Colleges at an unfair disadvantage. “We have been asked to walk the thin line between fitting into the University and being unique,” he told the Committee. presentation by telling Astrology “We don’t have to justify ourselves by academic standards, but I’m sure we would qualify because the books have been read and the papers have been written,” another student observed. Several Committee members asked the College to better define their academic subject matter. Non-voting Committee member Jonathan Reichert said: “What are the limits on F’s program? What will (College F be taught next year? What’s on Curriculum Coordinator Charley) Haney’s mind this year?” Dr. Reichert termed astrology “pure crap” and said that as a scientist, he would not allow a course on astrology to be taught. However, a College F student replied that the question was an insult to the intelligence of the College faculty. Earlier in the meeting, Mr. Haskoff had said that since the thrust of the College was to see itself outside social institutions, any course taught from this perspective would be appropriate. Friday, 1 November 1974 . The Spectrum . Page three �Uncovering the true facts of resisters, Draft scandals complex Watergate amnesty discussed General forum by David Haitkin Staff Writer Spectrum “Rather ordinary reporting produced extraordinary facts,” Washington Post reporter Carl Bernstein explained in describing his exposure of the Watergate scandal before an audience of 250 at the State University College at Buffalo Monday night. Of the 2000 full-time reporters in Washington, most of the 14 working on Watergate directly after the break-in were covering events like hearings and press conferences and not, as he and Bob Woodward were, “attempting to find original material.” Mr. Bernstein said that because he and Mr. Woodward were relatively unestablished in Washington, they were “closer to the basis of reporting.” He attributed their success to the fact that they had to rely “on the most basic empirical method, things learned by doing basic police reporting and leg work, the kind that can be learned working on school papers.” Because he and Mr. Woodward were amazed at the enormity of the story they had stumbled upon, the two began to use what Mr. Bernstein called “the two-source rule.” That is, for every illegal practice they found, they sought at least two separate sources to confirm their information. After the break-in and the official pronouncement from John Mitchell that the White House had no part in it, Mr. Bernstein and Mr. Woodward tried unsuccessfully to contact high-level members of the Committee to Re-elect the President (CRP). From these initial contacts with CRP, Mr. Bernstein received the impression that the organization was “organized along the lines of the KGB (the Russian secret service). The fear we encountered indicated the stakes were higher than we or anyone perceived, but we still had no idea of where the investigation would lead,” he confessed. White House creation “We obtained a list of all employees of CRP,” Mr. Bernstein continued, noting the difficulty of obtaining that document. “We then started figuring out phone extensions, who worked for whom. Little pieces began to fall together.” One of the first and most important things the two reporters learned was that the CRP was not a political consulting firm, but “wholly a creation of the White House, that reported only to the White House.” He said he obtained information from lower level workers who “had less of an ax to grind, who had less of a vested interest in concealing facts that disturbed them.” Eventually Nixon campaign treasurer Hugh Sloan helped make sense of the scattered information and Mr. Bernstein and Mr. Woodward had gleaned from these low-level sources “We learned a few things, one of which was that a secret fund held in a safe in the office of Maurice Stans had funded the Watergate Break-in,” he said. By continuing to employ basic reporting techniques. Carl Bernstein -Kapp like knocking on doors and speaking to 50 to 60 people, Mr. Bernstein found that there had been a clean-up operation soon after the break-in, directed by John Mitchell. The results of the operation were the wholesale destruction of documents, the concoction of a cover story, and the telling of low-level workers not to volunteer any information. “Switch blade” Mr. Bernstein recalled that before beginning the investigations, he and Mr. Woodward thought of the Nixon White House as a “smooth running machine.” There was no impression of the ineptitude or “the switch blade mentality that was almost pervasive.” Noting the change in reporting that came from the Vietnam War, and the discrepancy between what was revealed at press conferences and what was actually being done behind closed doors, Mr. Bernstein said reporters must seek “the best obtainable version of the truth.” He criticized reporters who simply accepted as the truth official pronouncements from people such as Ron Ziegler and Henry Kissinger.

Thomas W.Weber DAY II The Community Action Corps (CAC) and the Graduate Philosophy Association conducted a general forum Tuesday night to discuss amnesty for Vietnam era war resisters and to organize local opposition to the controversial B-l bomber. Former Air Force Captain Donald Dawson, who flew 95 bombing missions over Indochina before leaving the Air Force as a conscientious objector, spoke on President Ford’s amnesty plan and gave his personal account of his own Air Force discharge. Mr. Dawson, coordinator of Americans for Amnesty, called President Ford’s amnesty proposal “no amnesty at all. The clemency board does not have the power to remove a felony from someone’s record,” he said. “Therefore, any person in exile for refusing to report to his draft board will still have the felony recorded on his permanent record even after ‘retribution’ has been paid.” Mr. Dawson pointed out that the evaders’ “constitutional rights would be waived when they return to the clemency board.” He is now working to increase pressure on Congress to push through a total amnesty bill. In light of the seven full amnesties previously granted by Congress, Americans for Amnesty believes that they can persuade the legislative body to grant a full, universal amnesty now. open 24 hrs. dally J ffTHTT �Democrat Clark wants integrity in gov’t, and limited campaign donations by Joseph P.

Page five �LaFalce to fight widespread unemployment by Jenny Cheng Staff Writer Spectrum John LaFalce, Democratic-Liberal State Assemblyman from the 140th Assembly District,i is seeking tfie Congressional seat to be vacated by retiring Rep. Henry P. Smith III (R., N.Y.). His opponent on Nov. 5 is Russell Rourke, Mr. Smith’s former administrative aide. Mr. LaFalce has represented the 140th District, which covers part of North Buffalo, the Town of Tonawanda and part of the City of Tonawanda, since 1972. From 1970 to 1972, he represented Kenmore and Tonawanda in the State Senate. Mr. LaFalce’s major campaign issue has been the need to fight against inflation and unemployment, which has risen locally Jo a record high this year. He is also particularly concerned with revised Social Security provisions and improved health care plans. To reduce unemployment, Mr. LaFalce proposes that tax incentives be given to business to stimulate hiring. “If businesses are not encumbered by additional taxes, employment will rise,” he says. Mr. LaFalce also believes in channelling credit to mass power industries and in select credit control by the government. “This way the government can channel funds to industries that utilize the most manpower,” he contents. Surtax opposed Mr. LaFalce is opposed to the five percent surtax proposed by President Ford because he believes, “this measure does not help to stop the inflation spiral.” Instead of raising taxes, he favors a $5 billion cut in public spending, including cuts in military spending. He also proposes the establishment of a minimum income tax for big businesses and high income individuals. “Many times big business, as well as certain individuals, get away without paying income taxes,” the Assemblyman argues. In addition to placing stricter controls on big business, Mr. LaFalce believes the government should make more of an effort to pursue anti-trust violators. “An example Administrations have been lax in cutting of an industry now violating the anti-trust tax loopholes thus far,” he added. laws is the sugar refining industry, which received 100 percent profits last year,” Mr. Social Security On the issue of Social Security reform LaFalce points out. “The Nixon-Ford John LaFalce Mr. LaFalce believes that at present, there is no provision in the Social Security Act for a proportional payments system according to incomes. “The Social Security tax should be based on the same criteria as the income tax,” he says. “Right now, the factory worker is paying the same amount per year as a highly-paid professional, and both are receiving equal coverage in Social Security. The payment is a much larger cut out of the factory worker’s salary.” Mr. LaFalce also promises to push for health care reform. He would like to see the establishment of a National Health Insurance Program and a Health Maintenance Program, funded primarily by a flat fee that would provide an individual with total health care. There should be as well more funds provided for outpatient drugs to the elderly, he says. The emphasis in Mr. LaFalce’s health care plans is on preventive medicine. If elected, Mr. LaFalce plans to concentrate on bringing more federal funds for public works to his district. He feels his district has not been adequately funded for government projects, and notes, “federal projects within the district will help alleviate high unemployment.” Rourke calk for an end to the seniority system by Joseph P. Esposito City Editor Russell Rourke is the Republican candidate for Congress in the 36th Congressional District. He has served as Administrative Assistant to Rep. John Pillion from 1960 to 1964, and to Rep. Henry P. Smith III (who is the retiring incumbent in the 36th) from 1964 to this summer. His opponent is State Assemblyman John J. LaFalce. Mr. Rourke believes that Americans can restore confidence in government “by electing people in whom we have confidence.” He cited a recent poll which indicates that only 16 percent of the people feel Congress is doing a competent job. “Yet polls show that Democratic candidates will win in a landslide on Tuesday,” he notes. The Lewiston Republican says that Congress is caught in a “stranglehold of Democratic control,” and the predicted landslide is only a personal reaction to Nixon, Mr. Agnew and Watergate, Rourke believes. “The public, rightly or wrongly, appears to be lashing out at Republican candidates,” he says. He endorses “an admixture of public and private” political campaign financing, feeling that the recently passed campaign finance bill is a step in the right direction, but that “it doesn’t go far enough.” He approves the limiting of individual contributions, but believes more legislation is needed to curb the influence of big labor and big business as well.

He is “satisfied that a continuing effort is being made by both federal and slate authorities to satisfy, clarify, and solve any questions about safety factors that might exist,” in respect to nuclear power. “Nuclear energy has to be utilized if the safely factors are met,” he argues. “The government must undertake a selling job to sell the general public on the safety of nuclear plants." Mr. Rourke feels it is unrealistic to believe that the U.S. will be self-sufficient in oil by 1980. He supports “a heavy diplomatic effort” by the U.S. to achieve a balance between oil producing and oil consuming nations. Depoliticization necessary Mr. Rourke argues that the Department of Justice, the IRS, and other agencies need to be depoliticized.

He favors sharply limited military aid Page six to South Vietnam, and feels economic aid ol* J Inflation Mr. Rourke is pleased that President Ford has “brought the problems of the economy and inflation to the front burner.” He opposes full wage-price controls, though, and favors sharp reductions in federal spending. He also endorses programs which would encourage increased productivity in the private sector and tax credits to promote business activity. Mr. Rourke favors a program of public employment to ease the problem of unemployment. He also urges the easing of monetary restraints and the lowering of prime interest rates. He criticizes high-interest U.S. Treasury notes as a cause of the mortgage shortage, which in turn leads to greater unemployment in the housing industry, he says. Health insurance Mr. Rourke favors a program of national health insurance. “It is a critical need in our society,” he believes. The only Election Day — question is how extensive is it going to be will it be as expensive as the $61 billion Kennedy-Mills bill, or closer to the old Nixon bill which would have cost some $7 billion?” he asks. “Mass transit is an absolute necessity for the Greater Buffalo area,” Mr. Rourke also asserts. “We’re economically stifled without mass transit, and its absence prevents orderly growth.” It is “high on my priority list,” he explained. However, he feels highways can wait until more human concerns cancer and epilepsy research, for example, are attended to. - — Consumer protection Mr. Rourke sees the Consumer Protection Agency as “having good and bad points.” The public needs protection, but the potential bureaucratic restrictions on business may inhibit business activity in small businesses as well as large. “Any of those areas of consumer protection that dwell on the pure protection of the consumer are great that’s the definition of the Agency itself. Any unnecessary impediments on business may be self-defeating.” He opposes paying Social Security benefits out of the General Fund. “If the cost of Social Security comes out of the General Fund, we might lose sight of those costs. I was for the cost-of-living feature hooked onto business increases.” Mr. Rourke called portable pension rights “a critical necessity,” and he was pleased to see the recently enacted bill become law. He also opposes “any further federal gun legislation providing for more restrictive regulations . . . the New York legislation is good.

He made long before countless others joined the bandwagon it his business to denounce the indiscriminate strafing of peasant villages in Indochina. Mr. Clark's humanitarian concerns have also been demonstrated by his heavy involvement in the defense of the Attica Brothers, his work on behalf of Frank Serpico during the Knapp — — Commission Investigations, and by his defense of Father Phillip Berrigan in the Harrisburg trials. Mr. Clark is waging his campaign as a fight against the big money that has elected convictionless, plastic politicians to high government office year after year. By limiting contributions to his campaign to $100, he has demonstrated that he would rather be his own man and lose than win the election on the coattails of wealthy businessmen. As a legislator with ties only to his conscience, Mr. Clark would support measures allowing the federal government to aggressively fight inflation and rising unemployment, even if it means closing many of the tax loopholes that currently favor large corporations. In contrast to the Ford Administration's hands-off approach to boosting the economy, Mr. Clark wisely favors the immediate imposition of comprehensive wage and price controls and a $25 million reduction in the defense budget. Vet he realizes that cutting back on defense could precipitate the loss of many jobs and has plans for a careful program of economic conversion that would prevent dislocations and related economic hardships. At a time when energy consumption is a must, Mr. Clark would act aggressively to end American dependence on Arab oil. Although many elected officials are reluctant to get on the bad side of Big Business because their re-election depends on its support, Mr. Clark strongly advocates using the trucking-industry-dominated Highway Trust Fund network of mass transit facilities, and has called of a free mass transit system. Senator Javits, meanwhile, during his 18 years in the Senate, has compiled a noteworthy record of legislation. He has been a particularly strong proponent of pension reform and of measures designed to safeguard Congress from relinquishing authority to the Executive Branch. However, much of the legislation that bears his name was initiated long after the need for it became apparent. "Too little, too late" amply describes Senator Javits' actions in relation to the impeachment and pardon of Richard Nixon. Although the Senator has racked up political mileage from his role in the passage of the War Powers Act, which was designed to prevent "future Vietnams," the substance of the bill was greatly watered down as it went from Congressional committee to committee. In contrast to the bill's co-sponsor, Thomas Eagleton, who refused to support the legislation in its final version and even fought for its defeat, Mr. Javits enthusiastically supported a bill that for the first time legitimized undeclared war. Finally, Mr. Javits' refusal to place a ceiling on his campaign contributions, which include $15,000 from Nelson Rockefeller whose confirmation he must vote on, indicates that allegiance to his contributors will restrict him from taking action to build an extensive for a feasibility study against large corporations. Ramsey Clark, on the other hand, has demonstrated that his principles will take precedence over pressure from corporate lobbies. His candor, refreshing idealism, his genuine concern for the people of this country and his liberal views on how to solve many of the nation s problems make him an ideal candidate for U.S. Senator. Hoyt for Assembly Although Al Hausbeck has been a responsible State Assemblyman for the past 15 years, we feel Democrat William Hoyt will bring a fresh, new approach to the State Legislature if he wins the race for the 144th District seat. His active concern with the living conditions in the city of underlies a Buffalo its parks, its housing, and its neighborhoods broader desire to preserve our abused environment before it is too late. Among the legislation he has sponsored as a member of the Buffalo Common Council are a bond resolution providing for the restoration of Delaware Park and a proposal to develop recycling centers throughout Buffalo. Describing the State Legislature as “a meeting of lords and vassals," Mr. Hoyt seeks to increase its effectiveness by doing away with "part-time government by moonlighting legislators" and halting "empty chair" voting. His concern with the completion of the Amherst Campus and his desire to regulate inflationary areas of the economy indicate that Mr. Hoyt would make an intelligent, active contribution to the State Assembly. — — Page eight. TTie Spectrum Friday, 1 November 1974 . The Rome Food Conference starts next week and could be a turning point. World population is four billion and will double in 35 years at the present birthrate. Only that won t happen. Demographers are almost sure now that the earth won’t support another four billion and that if the birthrate isn’t checked the death rate will go up. In the meantime we can assuage growing hunger by increasing food supply. But that takes world discipline, government intervention and above all, a global food reserve. The man we are sending to head our delegation at Rome, Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz, opposes government intervention and “bureaucratic control,” he is a rigid ideologue on free markets. He and the Administration’s lack of policy may well wreck the conference. Everything depends on the United States. -It is different from the Bucharest Population Conference, also under UN auspices. Nobody at Bucharest could control the options of 125 nations. But food is different. The United States is to food what Arabs are to oil, only more so. About half of all exported food, by bulk, is American food. There are only three or four nations that export much: Canada, Argentina, Australia and the U.S. We are by far the biggest. When you think of America’s riches don’t think of coal, steel, factories: think ol 15 (eet ot fat humus under the cornfields in Iowa farmland. And the right climate and water supply! For 25 years the world looked confidently to the U.S. as a food bank. We had so much food we gave it away and pretended it was humanitarian. The mystic word for foreign charity was “P.L. 480,” the law that permitted cheap shipments. At home the food stamp plan was as much to empty bulging grain bins as to fill hungry kids. Now it’s all changed. It’s changed because upward world population has finally intersected upward world food supply and will stay that way till we do something about it. Consider these items; the world faces, for the first lime, shortages in four land, water, fertilizer and energy. The basics best arable land is mostly under the plough and the big struggle may be for water. (Imagine a war over cloud seeding!). The oceans are over-fished, believe it or not, the sea catch of table fish has steadily diminished since 1970. The affluent nations including Russia are following America’s example and eating more meat (a particularly “wasteful” use of grain). Food and fertilizer prices (fertilizer comes in large part from natural gas and oil) are way up. In sum, the great American food bank is depleted; 50 million previously idle U.S. farm acres have been thrown into the struggle but still U.S. grain reserves as a ratio of world consumption are down to a scary 26 days, compared to 95 days in 1961. The trouble with hungry people is that they make such a fuss about it. They don’t go off quietly and die. They’re not gentlemen. Probably a billion people go to bed hungry at night. And there are 80 million more people born on earth every year, a city the size of Des Moines every day. Oh yes, we can raise more food! We can grow bananas on Pike’s Peak. Most food experts agree that increases must now come from the - developing countries themselves, the hungry countries. If India’s per acre yield equalled the U.S. it would more than double grain production. All that it needs is cheap fertilizer, insecticides, energy (to pump water) and capital; redistribution of land, reform of the tenant system and a revolution in social structure. To do the least of these things takes time. And above all, for the minute, there must be a global food reserve system. The United States should lake the lead, says the prestigious Committee for Economic Development in an important report this week: U.S. government farm policy “has not kept pace, has no formal established reserve stocks policy; we urge a spirit of leadership." And so the eye naturally to Mr. But/.. Butz is the man who gave you the secret subsidized 400 million bushel Russian grain sale in 1973. That raised wheat prices fine. Some in Washington are so convinced of Butz’s hatred of government intervention that they cannot believe he will cooperate at Rome. Yes, they say, he will make liberal professions, but include unacceptable American conditions. Some call the conference a fiasco in advance. Butz is smart, single-tracked, tactless, and he is after one goal, high U.S. farm prices. When housewives boycotted meat he blurted “prices are at a 20-year high and they should be; it’s about time that things were getting better.” To him a food reserve, domestic or international, means restraints: “that means less chance for a profit for farmers,” he said, July 26. When it was noted that the U.S. uses I 5 percent of its fertilizer for lawns, cemeteries and golf courses, or as much as India uses on farms, and that a ton of fertilizer in the U.S. yields only five tons of food but in starved India a dozen, he replied lightly, “1 think Americans want their golf courses.” “we must not get As to famine hysterical,” says Butz. He is as cheerful about hunger as other Ford advisers are about recession. Has America lost its food reserves? Butz rejoiced before the American Bakers Association, September 18; “Our grain bins are empty,” he boasted attributing it to good planning. “The road we are now planning,” he added, “moves management in the food complex away from the bureaucratic hierarchy of Washington.” Fine! The countries at Rome expect a major new commitment from the U.S. says Lester Brown of the Overseas Development Council, in a handy new paperback primer, By Bread Alone. The C.E.D. report this week, prepared by a dozen prominent business leaders stated, “We recommend that the federal government assume the principal responsibility for establishing stockpiles.” President Ford pledges support, Henry Kissinger opens the conference, and then Butz takes over. Warnings go up everywhere. Without mentioning Butz, FAO director general Dr. A.H. Boerma said last week: “Any purist concept of international free trade in food is dangerously outdated.” Hubert Humphrey, who first proposed the conference and who will attend as an observer but not a delegate, told the Senate this month, “He [Butz] concedes that he is strongly opposed to domestic and international food reserves... I am disturbed that we do not seem to have a clear-cut policy.” Senators Humphrey, McGovern and Nelson will be men to watch. With 6 percent of world population the U.S. consumes 40 percent of the world’s resources and exports half of all exported food: it has the awesome power to decide which ones of 40 undeveloped countries survives; which starves. — �Magic Lantern 'Shanks': an insulting blow to a mime's comic genius by Randi Schnur Arts Editor There is an old Hollywood proverb which states that "he who has proven his worth in one medium shouldn't push his or, at least, there certainly ought luck" to be, and Marcel Marceau and William Castle should memorize it immediately. As star and director of Shanks, billed as "a new concept in the macabre" and described in its title frame as "A Grim Fairy Tale," they have insulted real horror stories, the Brothers Grimm, and Marceau's own unique talent at one crushing blow. The art of the mime is one in which subtlety of thought or expression counts for very little. If an idea can't be communicated wordlessly to the back of an auditorium, its interpreter has failed half his audience. Movements of the face, as well as those of the body, must be precise, steamlined, and, above all, threaten to sink below his chin, just as they aim for his forehead when his mood changes. Any less reactions would be suffocated before they got past his make-up. His art is stylized and unreal, but extremely beautiful. — exaggerated. When Marcel Marceau, who is perhaps the world's greatest mime, does his act, his face is hidden behind a heavy mask of white grease paint, black eye make-up, and red lipstick. When he is sad, you know It — the corners of high brightly-painted mouth Overblown charm Transferred to an over-sized movie screen, though, Marceau's expressions lose their clown-like charm and become merely ludicrous. He seems to have three moods wildly happy, hopelessly miserable, and and any more haffway-between-the-two — — complicated shades of feeling must be inferred from context rather than from his face. Malcolm Shanks (Marceau) is a young deaf-mute who makes puppets, loves small animals and children, and represents Innocence, Purity, and The Forces of Good. He lives with his step-sister Mrs. Barton and her husband, better known as "The Town Drunk and His Shrewish Wife," as the occasional old-fashioned title cards which serve as a sentimental narration so picturesquely put it. When Old Man Walker, whose incredible wrinkles look like they were sculpted out of papier mache (which they probably were Marceau — plays this role as well), decides to hire an assistant who is not likely to talk too much about his somewhat eccentric physiological experiments, he naturally hits on Malcolm as the perfect choice. The Bartons are thrilled now their boarder will have to — "put down that stupid puppet and get to work" and Malcolm sets off on his fateful "Journey into the Unknown." — Life study Those mysterious experiments turn out to involve pinning three electrodes into a dead animal's neck and arms, and then twisting dials on a small remote control device to bring it, more or less, back to life. The gruesome pair manage to resurrect only one frog and one rooster (the sight of this perilously air borne corpse somehow doesn't bother Malcolm, standing right under it, nearly as much as it does the audience) before Old Walker evens the balance by dying himself. Well, here are the extra electrodes, and there’s Malcolm's only adult friend, and Science must march on and the deaf-mute's next moves are as obvious as the expressions on his face. When Barton comes to Walker's mansion to find out what's been holding up those $500 paychecks he and his wife have been dividing between themselves, he is greeted by a silent, extraordinarily stiff old man and a violently inhospitable rooster which pecks him to death. Good has, presumably, triumphed? and Malcolm gets another piece (not his last) of raw material. — * ilitillM Death takes a walk During the next hour or so, the ultimate puppeteer tests his collection of toys in front of the grocer (played, incidentally, by William Castle), his pre-teen lady-love Celia, and a gang of stereotypical (of we have by now come to expect course the expected) motorcyclists. His battle with this band of motorized cretins, whose idea of violent sexual assault seems to involve grabbing Celia and kissing her to death, is heralded by two titles announcing that "The Dead Fight the Living" and "Good Versus Evil," in case anyone should otherwise fail to catch the point. But in the final scene, which brings us full circle by recreating the opening puppet-show sequence, Castle implies that it was all just a bad dream no one fought anybody, kiddies, so stop screaming and laugh at the pretty puppets. This little device cancels out any meaning, however heavy-handed, the rest of the film might — — Helena Kallianiotes (whose many tiny roles included the memorable hitchhiker obsessed by filth in Five Easy Pieces), brings some real feeling to her small part, but she can't even make a dent in the film's cartoonish shell. The zombies' movements were all strikingly Marceau choreographed by himself. Walker's first tentative stretches as he overcomes rigor mortis joint by joint are a marvelous parody of Malcolm/Marcel's own exquisite dancer's grace, and Chelton and Clay, given somewhat simpler routines to perform fare almost as well. But here, as in the rest of the movie, exaggeration is the rule, and their danses macabres eventually have have had. become repetitious and dull. Not even William Castle can damage A couple of deadbeats As played by Philippe Clay and Tsilla Chelton, the lazy drunkard and the red-wigged shrew are hideous caricatures with about as much personality after death as they show before it.

But with the release of Shanks, which marks his American film debut, the artist proves that the judgment of a comic genius can be just as faulty as that of a mediocre director.

A date in November Audio 'truth'played by Chamber Society Marlboro, Vermont may seem a long way from Buffalo, but last Tuesday the spirit that symbolizes that famous city was embodied in the program Music From Marlboro, the opening event in the 51st season of the Buffalo Chamber Music Society. For those unfamiliar with it, the Marlboro Music Festival is perhaps the most prestigious gathering for the performance of chamber music in the world. It is to chamber music what the Newport Jazz Festival is to jazz. Many of the world's most famous classical musicians have contributed to Marlboro, among them, the late Pablo Casals, who for 13 summers participated as guest artist to conduct the Festival Orchestra and give cello master classes. At the Festival each summer, approximately 25 musicians are selected to form four touring groups. They rehearse and prepare a program of chamber music masterworks for varied combinations of voice and instruments that are not often heard in live performances. The group that came here was led by violinist Felix Galmir, a distinguished 'elder stateman' among classical musicians. He was surrounded by youth, but not inexperience. I must begin by saying that the concert was executed brilliantly. A pleasant retreat from the aggressive, dramatic energy of a rock concert, it provided a mellow, refined mood whose beauty was infinitely more difficult to achieve. It is not a system to be viewed as how well vs. how poorly the pieces were played, but rather, to what degree of subtle grandeur did the artists hone their ability. Chico.

Cy picks out his child's bike and smashes it screaming, "You wanted a bike? There's your bike! And if anything else happens to my kid I'll give this to you too!" Karen Black appears in a heartbreakingly abrasive role as Gloria, Cy's hairdressing assistant. In response to a customer's misgivings about her work she shrills, "Don't give me none of your crap. You looked like shit when you walked in and you'll look like shit when you walk out," points a bump and grind at Cy, and leaves to sunbathe on his hot patrol car outside. Noble savage Although pot shots are taken at every character in the film, there is an attempt to imbue Willie with some amount of nobility. When his wife Irene expresses skepticism towards his plan to buy up a corner coffee shop, he tells the owner how he once took a subway to a horse race instead of a cab. Irene had him worrying about money, but after he arrived, too late to place his bet. Sweet Water placed first. He would have made $20,000 that day. "I'm not a flop, Irene. I’m just too late." "I have to get back to work," his wife responds. The climax is rendered in blunt strokes when Willie finds his daughter pondering whether a glass will break if she drops it. (A new dimension in dumb broads these days: when stoned they can act even dumber without being actually stupid, heaven forbid.) Willie pursues her pill-pushing Puerto Rican with the boys, and Cy is sacrificed in a parody (unintentional?) of Romeo and Juliet. neither.

"I shouldn't have to do don't want to." Non servio once again but this is no mindless cop-out like Irene's, but a conscious rejection. Only men articulate their beliefs in the film: women are attacked, fired, and occasionally lock their bosses in closets until they bark like doggies. Only the latter approaches effectiveness, but only in the sense that a madperson's actions are effective. Moral: Carroll O'Connor, should a man of your talents have to play lovable bigots for the rest of his career just because liberal T.V. and film producers nothing Mozart and Brahms All the pieces rendered in the first half of the program were for quintets. The major works performed were String Quintet in B fiat major. K. 174 by Mozart and String Quintet in F major, opus 88 by Brahms. Both pieces were played very well, but the Brahms seemed more suited to the temperament of the group. During the Mozart piece, first violin Galmir's exuberant style conflicted with the delicate interweaving of melodic themes characteristic of Mozart's work. However, the Brahms, with its rich textures and gentle sentiments, allowed him the latitude to express his very personal style. In each work Peter Zazofsky, second violin, manifested a handling that was both firm and balanced, providing delightful contrast to Galmir. Still a young man, there is much to expect from Zazofsky in the future. He started serious study with Joseph Silverman in Boston at the age of 5 and has steadily added awards to his rocketing career; his latest being first prize in last year's San Francisco Symphony Competitions. And from the ladies The women members of the Quintet, Kim Kashkashian, Nancy Ellis, and Sharon Robinson (first viola, second viola, cello respectively) all illustrated great strength in the handling of their instruments. Most notable was Ms. Kashkashian who, in the first (Allegro moderato) and fourth (Allegretto) movements of Mozart work, had to blend the same themes that the first violin was required to play. This called not only for rapid technical handling, but also for a light tenderness that would have been lost on a lesser artist. The warm richness that two violas can lend to an ensemble was demonstrated in the Allegro energico finale of the Brahms' work. The thick overlay of deep tones granted it a stature that was grandiloquent, but tastefully so. Explosive and energetic The second half of the program consisted of Piano Quartet in E flat major, opus 87 by Dvorak. Lydia Artymiw demonstrated a depth of expression that lends credibility to the rave reviews that followed her New York debut recital at the Metropolitan Museum in October 1974. Full of energy, the piece often consisted of the string section attempting to subdue the intense violence of the piano, always in contrast, finding only a temporary ally in the cello, which would eventually return to its string siblings. Ms. Artymiw was in full control, playing a piece that required both powerful handling and pinpoint temporal precision. The entire group performed masterfully, approaching the work in a cohesive manner without betraying its explosive nature. Coming soon ... The Buffalo Chamber Music Society will sponsor its next concert in conjunction with the music department here for a portion of the Slee cycle on November 19th. The acoustics in the Mary Seaton room at Kleinhans (where the concerts are held) are true and vibrant, capturing the delicate resonance of each instrument. This kind of audio 'truth' gives each performance a warmly intimate feeling; a feeling impossible to capture in stereo equipment.

Spectrum Arts Staff literary, musical, There are some works of art theatrical, whatever that divorce themselves from the conventions of the form in an effort to expand the artistic perspective of both the "spectators" (audience, reader, observer) and the creating artists. The problem in approaching such a work is in confusing structure with content; limits and boundaries can determine, in a way, the eventual shape of an artistic effort, but not what it consists of, and it may be necessary to break away from those boundaries in order to achieve the goal the attist has in mind. Deviating from established patterns merely for the sake of difference, however, is a gross error. Doing so results in an empty shell, a form with no content. While a work of the former type may open the "doors of perception," in Aldous Huxley's phrase, forcing the spectator out of passivity and into conscious involvement, the other type forces the observer to search for meanings that simply don't exist. This difference is the one between "new" art and pseudo-art, between an exploration and a fake. — — The Odessa File': exciting, intense The Odessa File is a man-hunt thriller, perfectly professional within its conventional designs, ano a completely satisfying two hours of Hollywood suspense. The film is based on the best-selling novel of the same name by Frederick Forsyth, Forsyth's other best-seller. Day of the Jackal, was adapted to the screen last year and apparently The Odessa File was filmed to capitalize on its predecessor's financial success. In actuality, The Odessa File is worthy of success in its own right, for it is a much better picture. The Day of the Jackal was a thriller only in the loosest sense of the word. Some critics were impressed by its pacing and density of plot and detail. For my tastes, it was little more than a fast-paced bore. An approach of meticulous, documented detail was maintained throughout sense of humanity and personal interplay. The result was a level of emotional involvement that might make Jack Webb at the expense of any proud. Back The most revolutionary aspect of purge is its philosophy. As a rule, any work dealing in any way with life, death, man's place in the universe, or a theme of comparable magnitude, does so by symbolism, allusion, or some such indirect means. purge deals with those forces as themselves, not with representations of them. It presents not so much an individual man and woman as the concepts of man, woman, and mankind themselves. Its scale is nothing less than the universe. Inner meanings Words are often a downright ponderous tool by to express oneself. Dunn has said he is interested in "mind-to-mind communication," clearly, no compulsion is felt to speak if the meaning can be communicated more directly. The meanings of purge come through without blatancy indeed, which — New variation Avant-garde theatre itself is no news, God knows; neither are semi-scholarly dissections of the phenomenon, if anything so well established can still be called a "phenomenon." But it is in the light of constructive variation that I must consider purge, the performance event by Joseph Dunn and Irja Koljonen presented by the American Contemporary Theatre. Perhaps the most obvious thing that is "purged" in the course of the event is one's sense of what happens in the course of a "play." By conventional definition, purge has no plot, no characters, and no it's dialogue. As you enter the performing space you are not really proper to refer to it as a "stage" enveloped in darkness and your ears are assailed by an amplified rumble. The space is very large, filled only by a few poles on which are mounted giant discs that serve as light sources. Through this environment move a man and a woman (Margot Fein and Douglas Woolley), almost dwarfed by the surroundings. They travel about in silence, executing slow and graceful movements. Bruce Eaton's atonal electronic score supplies an almost constant, nearly deafening roar, giving way at times to softer tones. The voices of Dunn and Koljonen are heard, intoning single words with simple, basic meanings: "old," "work," "sleep," and "complete" when the even is over. . to reality The Odessa File features similar standards of plotting and pace; however, this time the story is filled out by characters who apparently live and breathe. In fact, some of the characterization is quite striking. Jon Voigt plays the lead, a free-lance German reporter tracking down a former member of the Nazi S.S. His performance may be his best since Midnight Cowboy. Under constant threat from a murderous secret organization, the Odessa, he relentlessly pursues the Nazi butcher for reasons no one knows. Voigt lends the role an intriguing presence, sporting a veneer of professional dispassion that barely checks the seething intensity that keeps him going on his mission of vengeance. His portrayal is both engaging and enigmatic and is crucial to the taut success of the film. The performances of the supporting cast are first-rate in general, and outstanding in particular in the case of Maximilian Schell. As the former concentration camp commandant hunted by Voigt, Schell portrays his Nazi villiany with low-keyed brilliance, his understated conviction making the character appear all the more warped and despicable. For slick, fast entertainment, see The Odessa File, now showing at —David Everitt the Plaza North Theater. — — Subjective event This may not sound very challenging, or very pleasant. I could see purge described as "a lot of noise and two people wandering around in the dark." In a purely literal sense, that's what it is, but purge cannot be approached purely objectively. Descriptions of the sounds, sights, etc. are one thing, but purge is planned as an event, not as a recitation of separate factors. In the course of the event, a gestalt is created, of which the observer is an important aspect. Everything combines in this, and without their (Their movements are drawn from Tai Ch'i Chuan, the Eastern body science.) The variances in lighting reveal fascinating textures in what is basically smooth, continued movement. Sustained lighting reveals fluidity; sporadic, flickering light shows how drastically even the smoothest movement changes position totally. Dunn plans to periodically revive both purge and The Unnameable, his adaptation of Samuel Beckett's novel which premiered last year at the ACT. For the moment, purge can be seen at the 1695 Elmwood, on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. It's one of the most interesting and stimulating theater pieces I've ever seen, and definitely worth your time if your taste runs beyond entertainment.

In fact, it wasn't until recently that photography was first looked at as a medium for artistic display. The average person will most likely think of newspaper photos. Brownie Box cameras, or Polaroid instant photography as being indicative of the photographic world. These feelings have, increasingly fallen by the wayside as more and more people have succumbed to shutter-clicking as a means of expressing their artistic growling. , Evidence of this is the immense success of Japanese cameras within the last ten or so years. One only has to look at the number of photographic ads of a variety in appearing publications to see that cameras are big business. Because cameras and photographic supplies have become such a lucrative business, there is an immense assortment of merchandise to choose from. The days are gone when the Great Yellow Father of Rochester was considered to be the only source of consistently high-quality photo large merchandise. This assortment has only baffled most prospective camera buyers and becomes even more complicated when a buyer has to go to several stores to evaluate the merits of various brands of equipment. Many a camera buyer has probably remarked that what this city needs is a camera store with all brands under one roof. Trying harder interest in consummate equipment that a photographer thinks he needs is the reason for shows such as this. Show-stopping Nikon The big show stoppers were displays that contained exotic equipment. The Nikon display attracted a large group because you could "play" with the new Nikon F2 camera, which was hooked up to a motor drive allowing the operator to shoot up to 5 frames per second. They also had the probably largest assortment of lenses at the show, ranging from a 180 degree fisheye to a 500 mm. mirror lens. his brother Everyone and wanted to handle a behemoth 1,250 mm. mirror lens made by Pentax.

For earth-bound photographers, their quality camera sells for about $900. Also on display was a $2000 full-frame fisheye that has no apparent visual distortion at the edges. One of the more important aspects of the show was that it enabled you to ask questions of the companies represented.

It is no longer acceptable to read, let alone enjoy, fiction. Whether one is affiliated with the literary or the publishing establishments and thereby sponsors works with citations such as, "So candid it had to be a novel," or whether one endorses works that seem to be novels but instead crudely yet seriously insist on the truth of their scientific reliability as newly-disclosed documents of a secret world of Lithuanian midgets who conquered the West in 1000 B.C., or a benevolent sect within the Gestapo threatened by Soviet infiltration, or an avid enthusiast in the liberal or radical literary culture (and hence condemns fiction, especially non-realistic fiction, but essentially all fiction to the wastebin as frivolous or facile or irrelevant because it accomplishes nothing, fails even to provide the reader with sexual orgasm, and turns the citizen away from serious study of society's problems), there is complete agreement that modern man should direct his attention elsewhere perhaps to the "new" theatre, or to avant-garde cinema, but best of all, to an avid involvement in life itself. Fanny Hill becomes Xaviera Hollander, the "happy hooker." As is true with most trends in our "age of nostalgia," this is nothing new; it recalls, of course, those frequently-abused early novelists who were at pains to insist on the educational value of their work, a lesson to girls who might have become wayward, an example of gentlemanly behavior. "To me, at least, it appears a service rendered to good morals to unmask the methods employed by those whose morals are bad . . ." wrote Choderlos de Laclos, the marvelous sixteenth-century author of a work lovingly devoted to the depravity of a complex seduction plot. And though customs and tastes have changed, the writer of fiction who doesn't wish to be written off completely as "avant-garde" and, therefore, unreadable must provide his work and his readers with some sort of — rationale. In the case of the political-social world, the rationale is relevance. Although The Gulag Archipelago is obviously the book of the century, there would be some small merit in the novel of a Russian patriot who was not at Gulag, though he knew intimately all the right people who were, and wrote of a fictional but life-like character in the camps, provided the setting was realistic, the information factual, and the over-all theme of the work in some sense contributory to the solidarity of the political struggle. According to this view, it is precisely the non-fiction elements of the novel that enable it to be accessible as a novel. Those who are actively involved with a political or social movement embrace the fiction setting, character, or theme of which accurately coincides with their particular analysis of problematic modern conditions and depicts their hope for solution. Thus the art inspires (them) and is, in some sense, constructive. There is no place for the man who refuses to take a position, who is more interested in "perverse quirks of character" than in vituperative social analysis. Not only is this tendency considered useless, but the movement activist has no context within which to perceive a fiction of this sort. It is for this reason that certain feminist-oriented magazines insist upon short stories that are spiritually optimistic about women. Many minority poets and writers will censure another artist whose political stance is not appropriate. Popular critics, in the main, are in favor of these modes of consideration. It allows them to easily classify a writer for his ideology, and not his works, and they thus avoid having actually to discuss fiction. And many novelists are confused and perplexed, as well. In Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions, we can perceive an author torn between his instinct to tell a pleasurable story and his intellectual wish to constructively relate his art to the serious and "heavy" problems of society. Leon Trotsky perceived this situation of political art when he wrote, "This new art is incompatible with pessimism, with skepticism, and with all the other forms of spiritual collapse." He called upon artists to realize that "the Revolution is reflected in art . . to the extent to which the guild of new and old poets and artists becomes a part of the living tissue of the Revolution and learns to see . it from within and not without." But this is exactly what the writer of fiction must not do. It should be obvious that fiction actively confronts the vital elements of life, but in a different way than does a newspaper article or a protest rally; anyone not perceiving this is clearly too immersed in some form of ideology that limits a proper perspective. Whether or not a writer is a political activist or a hermit in his private life, he automatically stands away or detaches himself from the rhetoric level of the situation in order to conceive of it as fiction. The artist in him must stand apart from the struggle so that the struggle can be vitally converted into fiction; the result is a novel that is not less relevant for its inclusiveness but more so, not frivolous because of its factual distortions, but profound because of its frivolity. As an artist the fiction writer must be personally removed from his material to a sufficient degree for him to conceive of the whole and not the parts. Only then will the realistic event be properly and vitally converted to a fiction that Kyung-Wha Chung Plays Prokofiev confronts the social situation and its ramificiations. It goes without saying that this is an extremely difficult task. Ishmael Reed has been dealing with this dilemma for several years. It could be said that he writes as if he were in a futuristic society composing a quaint history of our time. Both Mumbo Jumbo and Yellow Back Radio Broke Down were marvelously inventive fictions, merging history with culture, myth with reality. But The Last Days of Louisiana Red is even better. Displaying a fictional imagination that never ceases to be delightfully on target, Reed creates a superb tale that encompasses voodoo, music, politics, soul food, the war of the sexes, American capitalism, black and white pop culture, the white radical movement, the Afro-American Greek myth, Amos 'n Andy, the Black identity, and the situation of human life today. He stands political movement, away from the banal rhetoric and captures the essence of the madness and vitality of modern life, producing a book about modern energies that loses none of its own fictional energies. No small feat, that. This is a novel of which intelligence, wild imagination, good sense, uproarious humor, and most of all, complete dedication to the joys of fiction literally call out for it to be read: —Geoffrey Green "Read it!"

Dude believes Blue Oyster Cult's the only thing in the world. Carole King's new album, Wrap Around Joy, although I hate analogies, is probably her best since Tapestry. Maybe better. It's more symphonic, more jazzy, and more powerful. Good old Lou Adler produces Carole's album with great commerciality and seems to have changed his style to jazzy syncopation. Through not being bluesy, the album is the kind that dovetails well with Carole's soft-rock image. Carole still maintains her over-tracking of background vocals which everyone likes; Carole is mesmerise the foot into tapping and then puppet the body into moving. ''You're Something New" throws the mind into a trance. (You can see I'm beginning to get into the album?) "We Are All In This Together" leads to a valley of relaxation. Taking you to the meadow are The David Campbell String Section and The Eddie Kendricks Singers. Side two is even better. "Wrap Around Joy" stings you; you can feels, the sax of Jim Horn. The instruments eat you up but don't consume you. The shoobee doodahs in "You Gentle Me" give the song a fun feeling, but like ice cream, it's too sugary for me. Seriousness is restored in "My Loving Eyes" but the tempo change gets you out of breath, like consistant and that sells records; and certainly, she climbing a mountain. "Sweet Adonis" leads you to the beauty fo Carole King's joining of music and doesn't do crap. The same kind of warm graphics caressing the lyrics. "A Night This Side Of Dying" is, I think, the cover of Wrap Around Joy are found on the inside jacket (with lyrincs included). The jacket begins with best song Carole has ever written.

I seemed to be at the base of the Sphinx looking out at the Great Pyramids off in the distance underneath a midnight blue sky. It was incredibly calm and peaceful, as if these monuments had preceeded the birth of Man, as if I were deep in the ancient past. Gazing up at the starry field, all the stars were suddenly falling, making a gentle tinkling sound as they were swept over the horizon. c I felt myself streching out, latching onto a star, and being taken along with it. I was bouncing jubilantly from star to star in myriad colors. And what fantastic colors bouncing from a swirling orange giant to green to purple, when all of a sudden my head turned in recognition of a piercing wailing cry. It was unmistakably Carlos' guitar, and I melted into the note and was absorbed in the ensuing riffs, conscious only of pure blue-white energy all around, pulsating like lightening. — I was reeling and soaring through it all when the guitar stopped that I was inside an infinitely huge motor, like an old-fashioned clock motor. It was well lit and all i could see were immense brown-colored gears pounding steadily all around. They were pounding and grinding and humming heavily, incessantly. I was observing this curiously for some time when, in the far distance, I heard Carlos gently stroking his guitar again. and At this point, I found myself in a great cavern, the guitar notes echoing against the orange and brown walls. It was dimly lit and each note created flickering blue shadows enabling me to see skulls along the ground with the It was quiet. A feeling of eerie loneliness followed as the caverns faded and I was left floating in the depths of space. There was a subconscious sensation that there was a frenzy of activity going on at each distant star, but everything seemed absolutely still and motionless.

Best summarizing all that is to come is a monologue in the "Eldorado Overture:" The dreamer, the unwoken fool In dreams, no pain will kiss the brow The love of ages fills the head. The days that Unger there in prey of emptiness, of burned out dreams. The minutes calling through the years. The universal dreamer rises up above his earthy burden. Journey to the dead of night. High on a hill in Eldorado. Each cut however, emphasizes a different aspect of this multi-faceted theme. "Noddy's Child" discloses a search for self-fulfillment through "painted ladies," and Boy Blue" shows the emptiness of prestige and heroism. They even composed a song mocking the ego tripping of musicians in "Illusions In G Major." Actually, just about every idiosyncrasy of man is covered in one way or another, a philosopher's free-for-all. The concept of empty dreams, consistent throughout the album, is further supplemented by the composition of the music. Free flowing, transcending all that is secular, the group is closely knit with an effect that is dynamite. The tepid atmosphere reaches the depths of your soul with its haunting meoldies. Variations add emphasis to key ideas and enhance the overall quality of the mood formed. Each song is a dynamic combination, as the flow complements the meaning behind the lyrics. “Nobody's Child" has a foxy little '30's R&B rhythm. The drums and cello set up the atmosphere (do you believe it) while the brass is added intermittently for contrast. And "Illusions In G Major," a rock and roll number, has a torrid pace to match the lives of the men it portrays. Although the words and music were written by guitarist Jeff Lynne, the coherence of the entire album makes you suspect that everyone contributed to its formation. And in a way, they did. Each musician definitely puts his whole self into it. The result is a modern day symphony that would make Beethoven roll over in envy. The unique assemblage of all the instruments (drums, cellb, violin, piano, moog, guitar, bass, and percussion) blends into a barrage of melodies, harmonies, and contrasts which makes you oblivious to everything else. Very few others have met, let alone surpassed, an album of such quality. Anyway, if you're caught in the bottomless chasm, torn between classical and modern music, try ELO. It might not make you a firm believer, but it is worth your trouble to listen —SueWos of the music perfectly This is also the central concept in The Electric Light Orchestra's new album. More orchestral than electric, their symphony, Eldorado, is a smooth flowing masterpiece of orchestral ability, musical competence, and pure insight. The idea of a concept album is not new in musical circles. Lou Reed had Berlin, and The Who, Quadrophenia. But ELO have finally attained that level of consciousness achieved by a rare few. In On The Third Day the •group was brilliant but rather scatterbrained. However, to anyone who can get into it, Eldorado is a mark of excellence. Let me warn you, this is not an ordinary album. Either you love it or you hate it. There can be no middle of the road opinion. The album cover is in itself unique. An artist's delight, it gives the listener a preview of what that little bundle of joy holds an electric, purely dynamic experience. Anyway, that candid shot of the ruby slippers gives it class.

Abandoned Luncheonette, with a record that is easily among the top 10 discs unleashed on a weary rock public this year. Where Abandoned Luncheonette sprnag with an instantaneously contagious flair and flowing linear development, War Babies revels in a heady and engagingly well concieved eliptical opus. War Babies defies neat labeling or stamping, refusing to be channeled or constricted to some narrowly defined idiom. Hall and Oates ride the surging, cresting wave of creative force that will leave you drenched with delirium. Yet let me hold my accolades in abeyance and inject a semblance of objectivity on which you can fasten your incisors and hopefully digest. War Babies centers primarily on two poles of interest a rock musician's world and an incisive comment on our society that is both tempered and — sparked by an autobiographical sting. The image of television appears on a number of tracks, serving as a metaphor for the current times and their inherent sterility. The material is top notch and delivered witti pyramidal vocals that flare with originality. Daryl Hall's "I'm Watching You (A Mutant Romance)'' studies the implementation of surveillance monitors in the Times Square area of New York City. The song poignantly examines the relationship between a monitor operator and a whore who he happens to spy upon. The tune's haunting power is in its ability to point out the inhuman and emotionally crippling ends societal technology has chosen to pursue. "War Baby Son Of Zorro" opens with the eerie belch of an air raid siren and even sports a minisolo by an Admiral tv. The lyrics are an ode to the banalities of the Fifties and the not so-glorious marvels of the Atomic Age. And if this isn't enough, there's the chillingly beautiful lament, "70's Scenario." Here life seems to be lived perpetually in a fallout shelter in a futile attempt to ward off the deadening lunacy that masquerades as present-day reality: And at the end of the rainbow Prodigal Sun — ain't no pot of WINE - ALE Pitcher of beer $1.50 gold and the lite in the morning hardly ever shows ain't no easy living everybody knows that it's ah around us 70's Scenario. It's a piercingly pessimistic song that sadly embodies a truth that kills. But you're probably saying, "Gee Whiz, ain't there any love song?" Well, you can peg your hopes to "You're Much Too Soon." It is about a short-lived romance doomed to the priorities of gigs and a musician’s life-style. The tune is an expressive, melodic ballad nicely sung by Hall. "Is It a Star," a number brimming with spacey guitar, concerns the dichotomy between stage persona and off-stage individuality; Is ira star or is it me you say you believe in and off-nights when my stage smile's not so wild and ain 't soming easy . . . Can’t you see it's me. AH broken down inside. The catalogue of compelling songs doesn't end here but runs the entire range of the album. War Babies contains, refreshingly, no filler material or tired, standard reworkings of numbers such as "Willie And The Hand Jive." Hall's and Oates' vocal abilities are simply superlative. Oates provides a mellow mid-range while Hall bends and quivers high notes with astonishing spontaneity and phrasing. The interplay of their voices crackles with searing emotive force. Todd Rundgren produced this spectacular. He also plays most of the lead guitar bits with peyote-soaked fervor and feel. This rocking but unholy trio of former Philly fellas proves a highly workable and decidedly satisfying trinity. When so many groups pawn off third rate crap and get by off sheer reputation and hype, it's a euphoric feeling to discover relatively new faces like Hall and Oates forging a spellbinding musical excitement. War Babies is part of the emerging new wave of rock music. If you're smart you'll grab your day glo surfboard and paddle out to meet it. Do it. —C.P.

It was in Toronto that his musical career began. Kay had always like country music (the influence of which is evident on his solo albums) but made folk basically Staff Writer Most of today's superstar groups are automatically classified by their hit songs and by the image they project. But if you were to look into their past lead guitar, the group was to play a key role in the genesis of Steppenwolf. Sparrow moved to New York, then L.A. and San Francisco. Finally, after changing they few became faces, a Steppenwolf, signed with Dunhill Records, and began making big are Only half-truths, though, and this was no exception (actually, Kay always wore dark glasses because he was almost blind from an irreversible birth defect which made his eyes oversensitive to light). But they still had their pop group image to contend with, and AM radio was certainly no help. rumors Money, money If you measure success in dollars and cents, the members of Steppenwolf must have laughed the way to the bank. One Sparrow album, 12 Steppenwolf singes, 12 albums, two John Kay albums, four singles, and two Dennis Edmonton solo albums certainly are enough to make anyone comfortable. Vet they did not seem mercenarily orientated. Instead, each album revolved about some theme, in which great emphasis was placed on political matters. This commitment was reflected in most of their albums gave the and whole group, especially Kay, a growing sense of reality and involvement. all history, I'm sure you'd come up with a few surprises. One of these each influenced many musicians in the past, has just been resurrected in this brave new world to once again place its indelible mark on society. Who do I mean?

Friday/2 pm The first albums, two Steppenwolf and The Second, were good and direct, with some of the group's best material. They then spit out a pseudo-concept album in At Your Birthday Party and had a political holiday with Monster. Steppenwolf 7 was again a cute little platter, and there was the unquestionably women's lib-oriented For Ladies Only. Lastly, Rest In Peace allowed this monster band to hibernate until once again they can climb to fame with released their recently II jj . II 3 fervor and novel style? Often the group adds a sarcastic twist at the end of a song, giving an ironic effect. For example, 'The Ostrick," a commentary on Americans' nonchalant attitude about their ever-growing domestic has a riff from problems, Katherine Lee Bates' "America The Beautiful" at the end. And "Justice Don't Be Slow" has a little David Frye-type interlude about Nixon. But these little idiosyncrasies only add spice. The music itself is always well written, played, and produced, while the lyrics prove to be very moving and thought provoking. These factors make Steppenwolf one of the best singles bands in rock. Shape of things to come? All things change with time, but it is yet to be seen if the new Steppenwolf will be so changed. Composed of four veteran Kay, Jerry members (John Edmonton, George Biondo, and Goldie McJohn) the group has now added Bobby Cochran on lead guitar. Steppenwolf fans, all anxious to hear their new album, will certainly not be disappointed. Flux, though politically oriented, is a masterpiece in its own right. That the group has grown in its music is evident. Slow The key to this album is diversity. "Children Of The Night" and "Justice Don't Be Slow" show the group's rather blunt position on the Watergate crisis. A little lick about the escapades of Evel Knievel is found in "Get Into The Wind," and the group even includes their folk heritage on such cuts as "Morning Blues," "Smoky Factory Blues," and "Fishin' In the Dark." You can honestly say Steppenwolf has matured. A great influence in the growing up of our generation, perhaps they're now ready to become the driving force behind the next. Many thanks to Louie Biondi for compiling a discography for me. SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3 UNIVERSITY CHAMBER ORCHESTRA ROBERT COLE, guest conductor The Buffalo Philharmonic's Associate Conductor will conduct works of Purcell, Cimarosa, Delius, Dahl & Britten. Oboe soloist: PAUL SCHLOSSMAN ; Baird Recital Hall FREE Prodigal Sun �But seriously “■You Folks Have To Tighten Your Belts Ami Bite The Democrats” . . . by Sparky Alzamora Ed Sullivan. A real trouper right to the end. Most of you think he died earlier last month; he did not. He died ten minutes before showtime on the eve of his last show ever in 1972. And yet, Ed made the show. Like I said, a real trouper, a really big trouper. Here are some excerpts from that historic last show: Announcer George Fenneman: “Tonight! Dead from New York City! The Ed Sullivan Show! Here was Ed Sullivan!” (Riotous applause. Applause subsides when Ed Sullivan does not speak. Ed does not say a word for ten minutes. Robert Goulet runs out from behind a curtain.) Robert Goulet: “Hello ladies and gentleman. I’m that fabulous entertainer from North of the border, Robert Goulet.” (Wild applause. Band starts up.) Robert Goulet: “It's impossible, ask a baby not to crv (Audience settles back. Ed looks more stone-like than usual tonight. He begins to titter. He falls. Goulet hits an amazingly high note before Ed hits floor, j Robert Goulet 7 1's inipossihlllllllllllllllllUlllllllle!" (Audience is wildly appreciative. Goulet bows several times and walks over to pick up Ed Sullivan off the floor. He does.) Robert Goulet: “Thank you. I’ll be appearing at the Riviera next weekend. Thank you.” (He exits. Man walks on stage and puts puppet on fingers of his right hand. Man stands behind Ed and puts puppet on Ed’s shoulder. Audience recognizes puppet, goes wild.) Toppo Giggio: “Eddie! Wake up, Eddie! I’m your little friend, Toppo Giggio, the Italian mouse. Oh please, Eddie, wake up." (Eddie does not react.) Toppo Giggio: “Aw come on Eddie, wake up! How a bout a beeg kiss?” (Toppo kisses Eddie. Eddie does not flinch.) Toppo Giggio: I dink Eddie’s gone to dal beeg shoe in de sky. Bye bye Eddie. Bye bye Yankee dollars.” (Audience laughs and applauds simultaneously. Toppo Giggio will never exploit American television again. Man with puppet exits and Buddy Greco makes entrance. Band starts up. He does dance to “Windmills of Your Mind.” Incredible. Audience loves him. Apparently, not enough.) Don’t blame the sponsor To the Editor. After the last minute speaking cancellations of two prominent figures in American Society, I think it only appropriate to clear up a few misconceptions. Student Association can only arrange a program. Phone calls can be made and contracts are always signed. Regardless of the obligations, a prominent person cannot be forced to appear at this university. It is impossible to tie his ankles together and drag him on the plane to Buffalo. When a program is Buddy Greco; “Aw come on. Let’s hear it for me!” [Audience registers a full 9 on Richter Scale.] Buddy Greco: “I’m Buddy Greco. I’ll be appearing at the Waldorf all next month. Before I go. I’d just like to say, I’m one of the finest young dancers around today. Why thank you, Ed.” [Audience goes nuts but Ed stands firm. Theatre grows quiet. Someone has blown cue. Man in audience stands up.) Man: “Er. hello. I’m Avrell Harriman. A good friend of the dearly departed, I think. I used to be governor, if anybody cares.” [Applause. Woman stands. No one seems to remember who she is.) Woman: “Hello. I’m Ann Blythe. Bet you never thought I could look this young.” (Sympathetic applause. Another gent stands up.] “Man: “My name is Bernard Greenberg. 1 own a bakery in Floral Park. This is the most ridiculous Ed Sullivan show I’ve ever seen.” [Mr. Insult, Don Rickies comes down the aisle He slaps Mr. Greenberg with his back hand.) Don Rickies: “Shut up, you Turkey. Where does it say ‘Wise guy Jew upstages famous comedian's lines’ [Audience screams “Go get him, Don! Rip out his throat!”] Don Rickies: “What kind of show is this anyway? The master of ceremonies dies on camera and the CBS brass says ‘Hey, maybe we’ll renew his contract another 13 weeks.’ They’re sick. A colored guy in the back is talking to his wife ‘How dey gonna renew his contract if he’s ded?’ Look at him, Ed Sullivan. The doctors who delivered him couldn’t or decide whether his mother had a miscarriage just bad luck. Is it true you’ve slept in a coffin, Ed? Ed’s only other work besides television has been the drawing up of his will. He left everything to his own personal charity: the Hemorrhoid Foundation. Ever wonder why you never saw him sitting down, folks? No, but really, I think dead people are really wonderful, Ed. God made us all the same, he made you dead, you should be proud of that heritage. Look, I’m a Jew, I kid you about being dead. Thank you.” [Warm applause. They cheer for Ed, the entertainer, Ed, the corpse. Stagehands wheel out gigantic cake, a 6-foot chocolate covered hiking boot. The real trouper falls in the cake, thus consummating 23 great years on the tube.] - arranged, it is expected that all concerned parties live up to their commitments.

This past weekend, I stayed at SUNY at Albany and had occasion to eat at their food service facilities a number of times. Please keep in mind that there is no appreciable difference between the amount they pay for food service and the amount that we do. However there is an astounding contrast between the quality and quantity of food served in their cafeterias and in ours. In Albany, as in many other SUNY and private universities and colleges, there is no limit to the amount of times that they can go back into line and receive more food. Food service at Buffalo, however, places a limit on every edible course of food they serve. At this point, I will not go into what 1 consider, and what many people 1 talk to consider, the inedible substances present at a SUNYAB sumptuous feast. There have been many times I have left the cafeteria hungry and I consistently supplement my diet with large amounts of outside food. In addition to the difference in quantity, there is a vast difference in quality between the food served in our cafeteria and that in other schools. During any lunch in Albany, regardless of the main course being served, one always has the option of having in unlimited quantities either hamburgers, frankfurters, or grilled cheese. These are offered either in substitution for or in addition to the main course. The food in that school as in many others is of better quality and tastes vastly superior to the food offered by UB food service. When you consider that we pay as much as most schools, if not more, and in return receive much less, 1 can only conclude that the people who run food service at UB are grossly incompetent and have totally mismanaged the program. The dorm students here are being exploited and “ripped off” by the food service bureaucracy. In many schools, private companies contract with the university or college to meet the food needs of their dorm residents. A major advantage of this system is that these companies compete for the school contract among themselves and in so doing raise the quality of the services they offer. While 1 am not sure of the solution, I am, as are most dorm residents on food service, aware of the problem. What we receive is not “food service” but “food disservice.” I welcome a reply from the “food service” establishment. Howard Chubinskv Friday, 1 November 1974 .

A motion filed by the Attica Brothers Offense Defense (ABOD) requesting $88,400 for expenses incurred in the defense of the Attica defendants was denied Friday by Judge Carmen F. Ball in State Supreme Court. The State legislature has already appropriated $750,000 to pay for defense expenses but almost $6 million to prepare the prosecution’s case. Judge Ball maintained that the ABOD does not represent individuals in court, but the group as a whole. He said that the work done by ABOD is voluntary and that the state is not required to pay them, despite the “vast amount” of work they have done. The Attica trials involve 62 defendants, more than 50 attorneys and about 4000 witnesses. The ABOD request included affidavits from individual lawyers who stated that they would have been unable to represent their clients without the work done by ABOD. Judge Ball explained, however, that lawyers assigned to individual cases will be paid out of money appropriated by the state, and that applications could be made by individual lawyers at any time.

Mr. Michaux explained that by transferring standing ticket offenses from a courtroom to an administrative atmosphere, the new system will encourage prompt compliance by respondents. “The transfer will also free at least 12 City Court judges to hear serious criminal matters and, combined with the State program, will save an estimated thousands of Police Department personnel man-hours,” he added. Tickets will still be issued by officers of individual agencies and institutions including the Buffalo college campuses. State University at Buffalo Campus Security Director Patrick Glennon noted that the Security Office would still answer inquiries regarding campus parking regulations and violtations, but would no longer handle appeals or be able to rescind the tickets. Basically the main benefits derived from the tickets. According to Charles L. Michaux, director of PVB, all standing, parking and stopping violations have been removed from the jurisdiction of the City’s Police Department and Court System and placed under civil administrative procedures, including the collection of all fines. “The PVB is empowered to accept pleas, hear and determine charges of traffic infractions relating to parking violations within the City of Buffalo, for monetary fines, penalties and fees for such violations and to enter and enforce judgements for the Bureau in the same manner as the enforcement of money judgments in civil actions,” Mr. Michaux said. provide Mr. Burke explained that ABOD has done work that an individual lawyer could never have done and has also assisted the prosecution with background information and research.

Anthony B. Wilson, 19, of 228 Dewey Ave. was being held in Buffalo precinct 16 and was scheduled to be arraigned Thursday morning. Mr. Wilson is not a student. Two Security officers were sent to Norton Hall to investigate a complaint that people were smoking marijuana in the Rathskellar, according to Lee Griffin, assistant directof of campus security. Mr. Griffin, who was present at the scuffle, reported that several persons in a corner of the Rathskellar were “putting marijuana away” and clearing smoke upon the arrival of Security. He said one person who was asked for identification provided it, while another insisted that One security the members to disturbance. Mr. Jackalone reported that Albert Somit, Executive Vice-President, said he would issue a statement to Campus Security asking them not to harass minority students. The statement will also inform Security of the types of disciplinary action that can be taken on the basis of their Civil Service contracts. According to Mr. Jackalone, the minority students said they would take the matter to City Court and back to the University Administration. Mr. Jackalone stressed that the only procedure that can now be taken is some of arbitration the between Civil Service employees organization and the University Administration. He suggested that the University set up a special advisory committee on grievances against Campus security to be composed of students, faculty, and staff. “For Israel to allow the Palestinians to establish their own state on the West Bank would be like giving a man who says he will shoot you a gun, on the grounds that his relative has assured you he will probably not pull the trigger,” said Yoel Kramer, chairman of the Classical Islam Department at Tel Aviv University, speaking in Norton Hall Tuesday in a lecture sponsored by the Israeli Students Organization. Dr. Kramer, whose topic was “Who Are the Palestinians?” claimed that the creation of a Palestinian State under the leadership of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) on the West Bank would be a threat to the security ot Israel. “Such a state would only serve as a guerrilla base to conduct raids into Israel,” he declared. Dr. Karmer cited Yasir Arafat’s statement to the members of El Fatah, an underground guerilla organization represented in the PLO, that the acceptance of a Palestinian entity on the West Bank would be only a tactic to “liberate all of Palestine.” (Mr. Arafat is the leader of both the PLO and El Fatah.) Since the 1967 War the PLO has grown increasingly sophisticated in presenting its views to the rest of the world, Dr. Kramer maintained. “In public, they no longer talk about annihilating Israel, but about creating a democratic secular state in which Moslems, Christians, and Jews will be equal,” he said. The Israeli scholar warned that the Palestinians are merely engaging in rhetoric when they speak of the creation of such a state in Palestine. He also spoke of the PLO constitution, which specifies that all Jews who were not in Palestine before 1917 will be expelled “when the lands of Palestine are liberated.” Dr. Kramer said that among the groups represented in the internal council of the PLO, only the Popular Democratic Front, a Marxist guerrilla group, had accepted the principle of a “democratic secular state.” “Israeli recongition of the PLO is against the cause of peace,” the Israeli scholar continued. Dr. Kramer maintained that it would once have been possible for Israel to restore some of the land captured in the 1967 war to King Hussein, because “both sides had come to the realization that negotiation was preferable to continued conflict.” The PLO and the Arab states have now “boxed the situation into a stalemate,” however. Dr. Kramer said, and “as a result of the PLO’s refusal to discuss secure boundaries with Israel, 1 see little hope of peace in the Middle East,” he concluded. was discriminating against Black students. A scuffle broke out when the second person refused to produce identification, according to Mr. Griffin, who said that Security Officers were kicked, shoved, and hit by chairs. He also said one officer “went after an individual and stopped him on the front steps.” The officer tried to break away, Mr. Griffin explained, and when re-apprehended on the steps of the Union, he assaulted the security officer. Shortly after, additional Security arrived and broke up the fight. different According to a account by an eyewitness, two Security Officers entered the Rathskellar and walked through the crowd of students asking everyone for identification. The that one reported person presented identification and another accused Security of “passing white people” and not asking them for identification. eyewitness Sy Although the eyewitness smelled marijuana in the room, ST she claims she did not see it. Everybody was shouting, she said, and Security was “spurring on some kind of scuffle.” M-FM After some time, people tried to avoid a fight by leaving and others were pulling Security away, she added. The eyewitness then saw the person who accused Security of discrimination, leap over a table. This, she said, caused table to overturn and a a chair-throwing scuffle ensued in which “at least 20 people participated.” When asked if Campus Security was discriminating against minorities, Mr. Griffin replied that it was University policy not to tolerate open use of drugs on campus. He stressed that in light of the closing of Norton Hall three years ago, due to drug problems, it was important to investigate calls relating to the use of drugs in public buildings. The entire incident could have been avoided if Security hadn’t responded to the call, but in view of what has happened in the past, such things cannot be dealt with lightly, Mr. Griffin said. Mr. Griffin hopes nothing further will come of the isolated incident, but N(s, Gibson and the other witness indicated that there may be further trouble.

There is currently no official name for the organization although in view of the fact that all four schools have animal nicknames (Bulls, Bengels, Griffins and Eagles, respectively), we might suggest “The Zoo" or “The Animal Conference.” Following is a rundown of how the conference shapes up in the various sports: Buffalo, Baseball The Bulls cun look to dominate the conference in this sport, .is they did when these schools met in the old Western New York Baseball Conference in the early 'bO’s. Buffalo has been represented in two of the last tour regional qualifiers tor the national championship. The only possible threat is Niagara, which has compiled excellent records against local competition. Canisius and Buffalo State arc poor at best — 2277 Niagara Falls Blvd. Though they’ve had fine teams throughout coach Bill Dando’s reign, the Bulls haven’t totally dominated the local scene on the links. Close matches with Canisius and Buffalo State have been the rule rather than the exception, with only Niagara figuring to stay out of the picture. The Bulls should be favored to finish first, but with the championship decided in a league meet instead of head-to-head matches, anything can happen. mile No. of Youngmann -691 7800- Cross Country good selection of cheap, used can-all sizes. RL IVES HONDA '/• & PONTIAC ****************** Soccer In just three short years, the Bulls have built themselves into the local soccer power, aided by the fast decline of both Niagara and Buffalo State. Buffalo soundly defeated all three squads this year, and with players like freshman Emmanuel Kulu just coming into their own, the Bulls will probably continue to dominate for a while. Swimming With Buffalo State traditionally strong, and Niagara coming along to challenge, there is little hope for the Bulls. Buffalo has been particularly poor lately. Canisius is not exactly a pool power either, and will join the Bulls in the basement. A major baseball, the Bulls have dominated the in recent years, shutting out both Canisius and Buffalo State this fall. Niagara is on the same level as Buffalo State and Canisius, which should create a good race for second place. Like Both the Griffins and Niagara have been powerful in basketball for a long time and promise to dominate the conference in the near future. Buffalo and Buffalo State arc usually a good match, though State has won seven of the last eight. One major factor working against the Bulls in basketball is the University’s strict admissions policy. "The conference may help us later if we can get a mutual agreement on admissions and other things involved in a conference,” remarked Buffalo coach Leo Richardson. Golf Also a year. Tennis Basketball Come in TEST DRIVE Ask for JOHN CHIMERA (Honda Sales Mgr. I emergence of State as a cross country mini-power, with Niagara close behind. The Bulls have been traditionally weak in cross country, but fortunately for Buffalo, Canisius is weaker. The Bulls finished a poor third in their meet with three other schools this surprise this fall has been the tennis scene Track Though the Bulls have been traditionally strong in track, they’ve been weak in recent years. However, the running and jumping of sophomore star Eldred Stephens has started a comeback. Buffalo State and Niagara are comparable with Buffalo, but Canisius is weak, in a league meet, however, Eldred’s one-man show could capture the championship, while the Eagles and Bengals, having similar strengths, could knock each other out. Women’s Sports Though competition has women’s been excluded from the initial plans for the conference, it won't be long before they are included in such sports as basketball, volleyball and swimming. The leaders of the four women’s programs met concurrently with the holding of the men’s press conference, but at press time, the results of that meeting were not known. Friday, 1 November 1974 . The Spectrum . Page twenty-one �CLASSIFIED Lehman Fellowships Thirty New York State Herbert H. Lehman Graduate Fellowships in the social sciences, public and international affairs will be awarded by the Fellowship Selection Committee during March 1975. The stipend for four full years of graduate study totals $19,000. Provisions are made for institutional supplementation of the New York State stipend. A Bulletin of Information is available directly from the Regents Examination and Scholarship Center at the State Education Department, 99 Washington Avenue, Albany, New York 12210. Those interested should inquire immediately because the deadline for applying is Straight sets down Canisius by David J. Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer “It was not the most exciting match of the year,” said Coach Cindy Anderson, after Buffalo’s women’s volleyball team quietly disposed of Canisius at Clark Hall last Monday night. In fact, the Bulls’ straight set (15-2, 15-8, 15-8) win was so routine that when they scored their final point, the response from the 30 or so spectators was nothing piore than polite applause. Actually, the match was downright boring. The Griffins are only in their second year of play, and their inexperience prevailed throughout the match. On the other side of the net, it was apparent that the Bulls were playing below par. However, the Griffs couldn’t take advantage of Buffalo’s lackadaisical play, so the Bulls still had an easy time of it. Anderson substituted freely, inserting the second team into the lineup for the entire second game and part of the third. Star spiker Joanne Wroblewski, like the rest of the Buffalo squad, was very unconvincing, especially in light o( the Bulls’ undefeated record this season. The only standout performance was the serving of Nan Harvey. Harvey, 13 a freshman from Cheektowaga, served consecutive points over a two-game span. Looking ahead Though Anderson was very noncommital about the Canisius game, she had much to say about the Bulls’ chances for the remainder of the year. Next Monday, the Bulls put their string of five straight wins on the line as they face Geneseo Community College. Anderson expressed caution about Buffalo’s chances, noting, “although Geneseo is a community college, they play very well.” Anderson is confident her team will be one of schools to qualify for the Western New York 16 Tournament, and she is hoping that the Bulls will advance from there to the New York State Championships. GIF by Bruce Engel One of my predecessors, Barry Rubin, covered Buffalo basketball for four years. During that time, the Bulls moved to attain University (major college) status in the sport. Barry longed for the day when he could see Buffalo’s won and loss record listed under “major independents” in the New York Times. Well, by the time he was a senior in 1972-73, that wish came true. Now, two years later, Buffalo voluntarily moves out of the “major independent” category. The department still likes to think of itself as major, particularly in basketball. But yesterday morning, they gave up their independence. At 10:30 a.m. in the Statler Hilton, Buffalo, Buffalo State, Canisius and Niagara announced the inception of “the Big Four” of Western New York, a playing athletic conference that will start competing in eight sports next fall. Buffalo State’s Howard Mac Adam made the announcement and on behalf of the athletic directors. “Students are getting apathetic about college sports and the community is turning more toward the professionals. We are uniting and trying to make Western New Yoik a bona-fide athletic conference. We are thinking about students, enrollment and enthusiasm,” he said. He hoped the respective womens’ programs and other schools would eventually compete in the conference. It is more than a little disturbing that Buffalo’s Athletic Department would make such a move without consulring the proper student authorities. After all, student fees pay for the program. Although this is unfortunate, the action is basically an excellent one. Although Buffalo’s most successful team (wrestling) and its most popular sport (hockey) are not included in the conference, the action on the part of the Athletic Department represents a long over-due move in some positive direction. Prior to this, there was no cohesion in the program, and it wandered aimlessly about, not knowing which way to go. Hopefully, the conference will solve that Hi. I’m a noogie — just sitting here to fill up this problem. The importance of each team will eventually be dictated by the general importance of that sport in the conference. Another benefit is that travel costs can be kept at a minimum by competing with nearby schools. For students, this can help reduce costs, or at least keep them down, and at the same time, raise interest. In any sport, a contest is more exciting when there are league standings and titles at stake. The Student Association should jump on the bandwagon and force the Department to schedule two conference contests per season in each sport. Additionally, travel to places that require airfare or lodging should be scrutinized very carefully. Five of the eight conference activities fall into the category of minor sports (track, cross country, swimming, golf and tennis). These activities have been under heavy fire from critics of athletics in the Student Assembly. The Department was made painfully aware of this last spring, and it is highly possible that an effort to protect these sports by making them part of a larger structure was an ulterior motive here. But this was done in a manner that will be inexpensive and these sports are vital to a balanced program. The fact that Niagara and Can sius concentrate their athletic efforts on basketball leads one to believe that this sport will be very big in the conference. It seems that Buffalo will give greater attention to it. However, the Bulls cannot hope in the near future to attain anywhere near the level of Cnaisius and Niagara. This, combined with Leo Richardson’s ignorance in thinking he might ever be able to establish equal academic standards for athletes within the conference, provide an unfortunate dilemna. The conference cannot be much of a boost for Buffalo basketball. Not only does the program lack the necessary amount of scholarships, but the University has higher admissions standards for athletes than our conference mates have for regular students. This is a given we must accept and should be proud of, rather than trying to work around it. annoying left-over hole.

Vol. 25, No. 29 State University of New York at Buffalo » Wednesday, 30 October 1974 Student representation Changes are proposed by SA for FSA Directors by Mitchell Regenbogen Master Plan representation Campus Editor calls for greater student on FSA boards across the state. Student Association (SA) planning to propose an amendment to The is the by-laws of the Faculty Student Association (FSA) that would increase both faculty and student representation on the FSA Board of Directors. The State University at Buffalo has one of the only two administration-dominated FSA’s in the state. In a letter to President Robert Ketter, Rich Hochman, FSA vice-president and SA vice-president for Sub-Baord, requested that a meeting of FSA members be arranged to consider the proposed changes. Mr. Hochman expects the meeting to take place in mid-November. The Board of Directors is presently composed of five University administrators, three student representatives, and one faculty member. Mr. Hochman’s proposal would add two students to the board, along with two representatives from either the faculty or professional staff. No opposition The increased representation is justified, Mr. Hochman claims, because students are the largest group that “puts money into the corporation.” FSA services are used more by students than any other group, he said. Mr. Hochman believes the FSA membership will vote in favor of the increased representation, explaining that there has been no real opposition voiced by the administration. “I think we will muster up enough votes,” he maintained, adding that the State University of New York’s SA President Frank Jackalone feels there is insufficient student input into the detailed FSA operations. Additional representatives on the Board of Directors, emphasized, will dialogue relating to he stimulate needed the corporation’s activities, and more students on the board will have additional time to become “involved.” No compliance The Student Association of the State University (SASU) has released a study of FSA’s across the state. The report states that there is an FSA that exists on each State University campus for the “sole purpose of providing auxiliary services to the campus.” The FSA’s are governed by two documents: SUNY Guidelines for the Operation of Faculty Student Associations, and each FSA’s individual contract with SUNY central administration. The report explains that some of the problems between individual campuses and their FSA’s develop because the existence of the two documents does not guarantee complaince. There have been “tremendous delays” in communication between the FSA’s and Central Administration resulting in violations of the contract or ignored guidelines, the report charges. Student power The guidelines call for “student and faculty membership and participation in an FSA.” Except for the State University at Buffalo and Delhi Agricultural and Technical College, students are strongly represented in FSA’s throughout the state. The SASU study explored the power of student groups in the FSA’s. It determined that if students voted in blocs in 1 S of the 20 FSA’s surveyed, they would only have to persuade up to two members of the other groups on the board to claim a majority. At Canton Agricultural and Technical College there are two boards - one student board and one faculty-staff board, with all matters requiring the approval of both. The report claims that Cortland and Plattsburgh State Colleges are “both weak in terms of student power,” yet student on their FSA’s is significant. There is “always an informal governance mechanism that mitigates against student control of FSA,” undermining any formal governance mechanism, the report charges. representation Food service The SASU claims that faculty representatives provide swing votes on FSA boards, but they are more likely, “on the practical political level,” to vote with administration board members than with the student members. Additionally, —continued on page 10— SA tables minority budgets while others okayed The Student Assembly approved the budgets of several clubs Thursday and tabled a number of minority group budgets, which will be voted on at a later date. Among the budgets approved during the four-and-a-half-hour session were those of the Student Book Exchange, Schussmeister’s Ski Club, UB Vets and the Student Legal Aid Clinic. However, much of Thursday’s activity centered around efforts of members of several Student Association (SA) financed minority groups to postpone a vote on their budgets in the hope of increasing allocations for the ’74—’75 fiscal year. As it now stands, no budget may be increased by the Assembly unless funds from another organization are reduced. Tabled budgets While a host of organizational budgets carried the Assembly with relative ease Wednesday, complications arose early during Thursday’s meeting when SA Minority Affairs Coordinator Doris Diaz asked that the budgets for the Third World Vets, Equal Opportunity Program (HOP), and Association of Minority Students in Health Related Professions be tabled. This motion easily passed the Assembly. In addition, it was decided that the budgets of the A/.teca Students, the Black Student Union (BSU), the Native American Cultural Awareness Organization (NACAO), Puder, and Minority Student Coordinators be discussed together. Budgets for the Jewish Student Union (JSU) and Community Action Corps (CAC) (in conjunction with Sunshine House) were also tabled. The general feeling in the Assembly, which consisted largely of representatives from minority and special interest groups, was that the Athletic Department budget of $220,000 should be at least partially slashed and redistributed to these various proposal to an immediate vote, though, the Assembly fell short of the necessary two-thirds majority. organizations. Some Assembly members indicated they would work to decrease the Athletic Department’s finances by as much as $15,000 a sizeable cut. When a motion was made to put this - Stipends attacked The Assembly then attempted to cut summer stipends of SA Coordinators by one-third, a move led by members of a few disenchanted student groups. But the Assembly overwhelmingly defeated this resolution as well. The tired Assembly participants finally adjourned at 8:30 p.m. after three previous attempts had failed with the stipulation that they reconvene today at 4 p.m. to continue deliberations on remaining budgetary lines — - �A.M.fest Breakfast provides commuter forum “It’s great! A lot of cummuters have to come to campus early. This gives them a place to go where they don’t feel alienated,” says Joanne Azzarello, a commuter from Clarence, N.Y., summing up the feelings of more than 100 people who participated in the first Commuter Breakfast Friday from 8 to 10:30 a.m. Shawn Phillips, the prolific singer-songwriter, will perform in concert this evening at 8 p.m. in Kleinhans Music Hall. Despite excellent reviews and regional popularity, Phillips has remained somewhat of an underground hero, but the cult is growing rapidly. Opening the show will be "Quartermass." Tickets for tonight's concert are $6, $5 and $4 and are available at the Norton Hall Ticket Office. Sponsored by the Student Association (SA) Commuter ComminFe with funds donated by Sylvia Goldschmidt, SA Student Activities coordinator, the breakfast was the first step in a plan to fill the needs of commuter students, a long neglected majority on campus. Free hot chocolate, coffee, tea, plus cheap doughnuts and brownies were available to all in Room 231 Norton. The Commuter Committee handed out name tags to facilitate socializing and distributed questionnaires to gather feedback on what problems should be tackled in the future. Commentar Athletics as the unfair loser by Bruce Engel and contracts drawn up based upon that commitment, may be called back and decreased. At this point, the University administration steps into the picture. Last week, Executive Vice President Albert Somit received the memo from SA president Frank Jackalone stating that unauthorized line changes in intramurals and recreation had been made by the Athletic Department and that unless the situation was rectified, SA would freeze the larger part of the athletic budget. Dr. Somit quickly checked with the other side, Athletic Director Harry Fritz, who had been out of town through the whole affair. Sports Editor Last Thursday’s Student Assembly meeting was a lesson in patience, parliamentary procedure and political intrigue. Although everyone knew what was actually happening, the subject was rarely mentioned and did not even find its way into the minutes of the meeting. The gathering lasted for over four hours, through several attempts to adjourn and a lot of motioning, seconding and tabling. The Assembly barely achieved the required quorum, and most of those who did bother to come were from special interest organizations. They succeeded in getting their budgets (CAC, JSU and minority groups) tabled m the hopes of securing extra monies for themselves after all the other budgets were passed. At this point you may ask, Where are they expecting to get that extra money when all of the SAs funds have already been accounted for and committed by i s Executive Committee? But need you really ask? Isn t it obvious that people are going to want to take this money away from everyone’s favorite whipping boy-the Athletic Department. Commitments vs. priority “Budgets have been approved and commitments have been made,” Dr. Somit said. “They must be honored. But there may be guidelines that have to be followed as well,” he added. If would appear that the commitments he spoke of are the contracts for intercollegiate athletics, while the guidelines refer to SA>s priority item intramurals and reC reation. Som, was unce ta n as r wba exa ,?. ; ' Cgal,t eS be lnvolved / the Stu dent Assembly decides to cut a significant portion of the athletic budget. “Someone will be held responsible,” be said althou 8h he didn’t know for sure if it would be tb adm,n,stration or the Student Association, A bud8 et has been passed. Contractual a 8 ree ments have been made based on that. The courts would take a dim view of changing something ba t, Dr. Somit explained. In the meantime, top SA officials claim that the administration has the legal right to control student activity funds in certain ways that stop short of actually refusing to collect the fees, although it actually has that right as well. Under these circumstances, the administration might possibly be held accountable for contracts that SA breaks. If that is the case, it is unlikely that the administration will remain quiet on this issue. Even if it doesn’t, it has too much invested in athletics facilities and coaches salaries to sit idly back and let something drastic happen. _ ~ „ ‘ , ' ‘ “ ' | Squeaky assembly It is obvious here that we have a case of the squeakiest hinge getting the oil. It is a bit absurd to think that a mere one-fourth of the Student Assembly is very representative of the student body as a whole, just as it is unlikely that an interest group Assembly, even in its entirety, accurately represents the student body. Nonetheless, the interest groups went after athletics tooth and nail, with a vengeance that might have amused the casual observer, but actually scared the slightly better informed. One can only wonder which, if any, of these organizations in question have greater student participation than any of the varsity sports they longed to attack. One is of course hard pressed to deny that there has not been a certain amount of mismangement in the Athletic Department. There are places where spending can be cut back, but certainly not in the amount (about $15,000) that critics of athletics want to cut. They have seen one team have meals The losers after home games, an unjustified if not unauthorized There is but one final element to this little expenditure, and feel the budget can be milked for a melodrama. Everyone is worried about legalities, lot more. budget lines and who is authorized to do what. At the bottom are the athletes and their coaches, whose Budgets and the law funding is threatened both by student critics and the Very interesting legal questions arise as we mismanagement of the Athletic Department’s approach the point where the Student Assembly has hierarchy which has caused much of the controversy, the power to break the law. It is within its power to This is a hard-working group of people that has review any and all legislation passed by the no one to speak for them and is too busy to speak Executive Committee. However, the budget is at the for themselves. Ultimately, they might be the real point now where money that has been committed, losers. > f “ * Preserving open space Anyone interested in working on a project to preserve open space in Erie County this summer should come to Room 129 Crosby Hail on Friday, Nov. 1 at 5 p.m. Students with an interest in physical geography, soils, vegetation, wildlife, urban politics, land use, and mapping are needed.

And we do have problems.” A lack of funds hampers the Committee’s desire for frequent breakfasts, but members are working to make the campus more pleasant for commuters. “We want these breakfasts as often as possible,” said Committee Chairman Lou Scinta. “There has been a long-time need for a place to socialize at a time convenient to commuters. This is one answer. People have made friends and for many this has been the first real chance to socialize all year,” he observed. Other projects the Committee will tackle include a local ride board, a dance marathon to raise money, a handbook to orient commuters to the campus, and a partner-finding service for people who want to bowl or play table tennis or pool. Afternoon mixer Ms. Venezia also hopes to organize a Friday afternoon mixer. “This would be an event at a time more easily attended by people who live far away and can’t make a trip home and back again. It would also give people who work nights a chance to attend something on campus,” she said. She also noted that though commuter activities are the Committee’s main concern, “we are not trying to make ourselves exclusive. It is just that right now we need to bring commuter-oriented events on campus up to parity.” Michelle Smith, SA National Affairs coordinator, said, “This is just the first of a series of events. But events aren’t the only thing. The administration should create an office of commuter affairs within the Student Affairs office. Priorities must be changed to fit the needs of the people.” Bruce Lange, a Committee member, said, “We are definitely open to suggestions on what to do. If anyone has specific projects on which they would like to work, they are welcome to join, as is anyone who just wants to join. We’re a fun group.” Interested students should contact Michelle Smith in 205 Norton Hall or call 831-5507 for more information. —Marty Brooks SA Speakers Bureau presents Councilman I WILLIAM HOYT i I : Candidate for State Assemblyman 144th District (University District) 12 noon Oct. 31 Haas Lounge �Chartering hearings heldfor Colleges B and H “The Reichart Prospectus will give us the tool to go back and see how well we’ve kept in line and met our goals,” College B member Jim Brickman told the College Chartering Committee last Thursday night. This remark typified the cooperative exchange between the Committee and College B, a marked contrast to the open hearings of several other Colleges, where philosophical differences and gaps of understanding have caused tempers to strain and occasionally break. But this was not the case with College B or its sister College H, who both seem outwardly favorable toward the chartering procedures and are eager to meet their requirements. ‘Crisis orientation' “1 think the time has come when the Colleges can’t survive on a crisis orientation any more,” said Bonnie Spanner, director of College B’s residential program. College B submitted a comprehensive, 43-page charter proposal which closely follows the guidelines set down by the Chartering Committee this summer. Its plan for the College “is the best prepared, and is closest to what we asked for,” emphasized graduate student representative John Greenwood. “You’re the least defensive group we have met; you view chartering as a positive aspect rather than as a threat,” he said. College B, one of the six original collegiate units, is devoted to the arts and the role they play in our lives. The residential program is centered around common interests in the arts, crafts and humanities, and is enriched through an extensive program of arts events and a small selective credit curriculum. The College offers an extensive crafts program, tutoring, a lively schedule of cultural activities, and a friendly, informal group experience. Said one student: “You can walk down the hall and listen to flute music at two in the morning. It’s a beautiful experience.” Participation by commuting students is also encouraged. “As a non-resident, 1 find myself much more involved,” Mr. Brickman said. “The College community extends itself even to those who don’t live there.” Stay clear He also explained one of the ways students are discouraged from joining a College or taking a College course. “There’s a by Mike McGuire Spectrum Staff Writer Relating health-sciences careers to the needs of the community is the prime concern of College H (Health Sciences College), Academic Coordinator John Duringer told the Colleges Chartering Committee Thursday at the public hearing on College H. The College is attempting to give health science majors a perspective on their role in society member of H, replied that the health science departments also attract a majority of their faculty from “clinical faculty,” non-University professionals from the community who often serve without salary.

Jim Phillips, a member of the Meyer Hospital staff and an H more equitably and effectively than setting prerequisites. The Rev. Kenneth Sherman, who teaches ‘Delivery of Health Care’ in H, said his course, despite requiring a certain background, got along well without prerequisites, because those without background soon dropped the course. The class is composed mostly of uper-division students who are trying to “de-professionalize” and to sensitize themselves to community needs, Rev. Sherman explained. The course is looking into what services will be a proposed health center at Jefferson and East Ferry Sts., as well as comparing health care delivery in the U.S., Canada and 1 Cuba. in necessary community ’ * < problem of departments that openly advocate that their students stay clear of the Colleges, or an academic advisor that tells a student to avoid the Colleges and take electives only in subjects related to their major,” Mr. Brickman told the committee. Undergraduate Dean Charles Ebert asked what College B does differently or better than the existing academic departments. “What is the extra thing that makes you unique?” he inquired. Our purpose is not to do better, but to do differently, one spokesman replied. It is “to find ways to stimulate understanding of arts, maybe a more phil osophical understanding, maybe a different aesthetic,” he said.

No prerequisites College H was also criticized by several committee members for not requiring prerequisites for most of its courses. Prerequisites are rarely required, according to Mr. Duringer, because they imply a narrow perspective rather than the broad one the college is striving for. Often, a course may have no specific prerequisites, but the course outline would imply a need for some prior knowledge of the subject, he noted.

And Mr. Duringer stressed that H is aimed at students on all campuses, not just at health science majors. Charlotte Flury, H’s residential coordinator, told the hearing that H is a residential college because familiarity with health-science activities, both formal and informal, can help health-science students make better career decisions.

The College is governed by a participatory democracy of faculty, staff and students with college-wide town meetings held every other Thursday evening, she said. Liaisons are also maintained with other colleges, especially in the case of College B. Mr. Duringer said cooperation between B and H is symbolic of reconciling the split between the body, the mind, and the creative process that often occurs in academia. Committee member and professor of orthodontics Larry Green asked if H’s programs overlapped other colleges’. Mr. Duringer replied that while occasional common areas are cross-listed with the Women’s Studies, Urban Studies (C.P.

Wednesday, 30 October 1974 The Spectrum Page three . . �Instructor fired due to declining enrollment and money problems A Colorado college teacher who was fired in a situation that is becoming more commonplace in schools and colleges across the nation declining enrollments and tight finances has gone to federal court to challenge the college’s decision on who gets fired Lyle V. Brenna, with the support of the National Education Association (NEA) and the Colorado Education Association, is seeking reinstatement to Southern Colorado State College, Pueblo, plus lost salary and benefits and $200,000 in damages and attorney’s fees and costs. The case is pending before the U.S. District Court, Denver. — - Dropping enrollments The NEA said the case is of special interest because thousands of teachers in the nation are in schools and colleges where enrollments are dropping and where boards are complaining of financial difficulties. Elementary school enrollments have been decreasing for about four years. Although total national enrollment in high schools is not expected to begin the downturn until fall 1976, and in the colleges and universities not until fall 1981, the rate of growth has slowed appreciably and many institutions already are experiencing declines. Public higher education enrollment, which rose a whopping 162 percent from 1963 to 1973, was projected to increase less than seven percent more by 1978. NEA has had reports of schools responding to finance problems by trimming the teaching staff, resulting in larger classes, less individualized instruction, and the dropping of important school programs and services. In some cases, districts have let experienced teachers go so they could hire less experienced persons at lower salaries. The question of firing experienced teachers is at the heart of the Brenna case.

Less qualified and non-tenured faculty were retained by SCSC, Brenna contends. Of six members of the business education department, one was without tenure and three had less seniority than he. Dr. Brenna’s position was not abolished after his termination in October 1973 and courses he taught are still being offered. The college, Brenna says, presented no documentation to support its firing him. However, the trustees of the State Colleges in Colorado sustained the termination, concluding it was in accordance with the college’s personnel regulations and policies. - - THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENT COMMITTEE presents A Trip to Toronto Saturday, November 2, 1974 visiting the Royal Ontario Museum and The Ontario Science Center Fare: S2.50 — for further information call Foreign Student Office — 831-3828 ' | December 1 Fare $51 .50 includes transportation and accommodation for 4 nights ji| For information 831 -21 45 or come to 31 8 Norton 1 Sponsored by The International Student Committee and The Ski Club Sponsored by Students' Fees and income sexism, discrimination.

However, only 1300 of these receive automatic protective devices each year. The most effective devices installed to date, aside from overpasses and underpasses, are the short arm gates with flashing red lights that open and close automatically.

When problems do occur at crossings, the state and local government are called to investigate the matter. Albany generally determines which crossings will get top priority. Representatives are sent quickly to survey any crossings in question. They use a formula based on the number of trains and the number of automobiles that pass each crossing to determine whether the crossing can qualify for monetary assistance for improvement.

Some of these signs are not even reflectorized, making it nearly impossible to see them at night. Two out of three crossing accidents occur at these intersections. In March 1972, at a grade crossing in Congers, a town about 25 miles northwest of New York City, five high school students were killed and 44 injured when their bus was hit by a freight train. Because the crossing was “private,” there was only a stationary warning sign there. On roads that are not federal, state or town highways, flashing lights and short arm gates are not legally required. Instead of extending the safety requirements, though, the law was simply modified to prohibit school buses from crossing unguarded railroad for federal funds, but in 1970, only $120 million was mandated for grade crossing improvements. - $76.50 �HE SINGING HOOSERS Public utilities Takeover alarms companies Of Indiana University Riviera Theatre 67 Webster St. • by Douglas A.

It is available for credit to students of Millard Fillmore College, Canisius and Medaille Colleges, but is open to anyone in the community who wishes to participate. On Sunday, October 6, the Courier-Express began a series of 18 consecutive literary articles entitled, “In Search of the American Dream.” Those interested in the course will have a number of options, including reading the articles for knowledge and pleasure, sending away for additional material related to the course, or enrolling for college credit. Required readings Students enrolled for credit must read additional material. The only requirements are successful completion of one examination to be given at all three colleges in February and the attendance of the lecture-discussion in December. Those who do not want college credit may send away for any material related to the course which is available to the credit enrollee. Those taking the course for credit must mail in a coupon published in the Courier-Express to any of the three colleges. Tuition is $43 for those not attending day school full time. Phyllis Herdendorf, a coordinator of the program, emphasized that persons of any are age encouraged to enroll. “It’s a whole new opportunity for people to engage in for credit,” said Ms. Herdendorf. Co-ordinating and instructing those who enroll for credit will be Leslie A. Fiedler, chairperson of the University’s English Department, and his wife, Sally Fiedler, who presently teaches a course in American Mythology in College B. “The Dept, of Continuing Education, Millard Fillmore College, is looking forward to participating with Leslie and Sally Fiedler in initiating Courses by Newspaper on campus because of their expressed interest in this very unique experience,” commented Ms. Herdendorf.

Page seven . �Editorial Budgetary dilemna Today's Student Assembly meeting may be the first test of a thorny constitutional problem: Does the Assembly's constitutional authority to "approve or disapprove" the budgets and alter specific parts of the budgets apply when the Executive Committee has already commited funds to in this case the Athletic groups that have signed contracts — Department? The problem had its roots last May, when the Executive Committee passed the budgets after disruptions by special interest groups prevented the Assembly from coming to a The Athletic Department subsequently began signing contracts, although it was known at the time that the budget was still subject to review by the Assembly. Some have argued that the Athletic Department must make financial committments early enough to allow it to set schedules and order equipment. But those who would like to see a large cut in Athletics insist that the SA Constitution grants the Assembly final power over the budget. They do not want to see the Assembly's review power circumvented by what they consider the simple expedient of signing vote. the summer. If the Assembly decides to make major cuts from the athletic budget, it could open the way to costly and politically damaging lawsuits in a year when the mandatory student fee comes up for its quadrennial referendum. But approving the athletic budget-would leave all the important questions about proper procedure and budgetary priorities unanswered. Although no fair solution seems possible this year, the need to reform the budgetary procedure by next year is unmistakable. It makes little sense for students to vote to pay a $67.50 mandatory fee each year if contracts and bureaucratic restrictions will prevent them from having a say in what is done with that money. One possible way of avoiding another budget fiasco might be to move back the budget hearings a month or two so time will not run out on the Assembly as it did this year. Every March, newly-elected SA officers are immediately thrust into the tenuous and controversial process of dividing up an $800,000.00 pie. By holding elections in December, SA would have more than a few weeks to carefully discuss the budgets in the Assembly. This would certainly not be a cure-all to the yearly dilemna of interest groups fighting tooth and nail over budgets, but it would at least give SA more time to try to make the $800,000.00 it allocates more representative of contracts over students.

The Spectrum . Wednesday, 30 October 1974 Kindly note that it is the Wednesday after a holiday and the space usually occupied by me is in fact occupied by me. Why this is so important is possibly even more confusing to me than it is to you. But then who knows how the problems of self-definition work. Spent several hours with someone over the weekend who was going quietly mad over not knowing who they were. More than not knowing who they were, I guess, since it also involved a large piece of not knowing where they were going. I have some trouble being helpful in situations like this since a concentrated effort was made somewhere in the past in order to get me out of that bind. TL (Another way of looking at it is that my head has had a different wiring diagram since I was born, but I prefer the explanation that ■ gives me at least some credit.) The realization that had a freeing effect on me j, y Steese involved recognizing that my accuracy in predicting where I am going to be, or what I am going to feel about being there when I arrive, is very, very bad. Of course 1 still do it. What sensible person would go charging into a situation without being obsessed about it for a reasonable length of time? It doesn’t matter whether you are right or wrong; what counts is the fact that you used up part of the time between you and whatever by worrying and trying to anticipate. Clearly, the only psyche that I am able to make any kind of predictions about at all is mine. 1 have no fundamental idea how yours works. Suspicions yes, but sense enough to know that they are only suspicions. What 1 have learned about the processes in my head leads me to believe that more frequently than some other people, learning something about why or what I am doing helps me to change it. This seems to be based on emotional reality that if I don’t change it after learning about it, I wind up being mad at myself. Since it is clear to me that I bitch at myself even more articulately than I do the rest of the world, it does not contribute greatly to inner peace to be mad at myself. It leads to digestional difficulties, bumps and bruises, and interpersonal disturbances when 1 lay my surly internal state on other folks. Anyway, when I figure out something it sticks in my head. Sometimes. Why it is that periodically my chess playing ability degenerates to the point of Gerald Ford’s political acumen is very murky to me. Things that make me anxious make me forget things, especially things about which I should know better. One critical area of self-knowledge, to go back to whence we bagan, involves the awareness that trying to anticipate where my head will be about a crisis is impossible. 1 was even able to shrug off the Dodgers losing the World Series. There is even some faint hope that this means a decreasing dependency on baseball. There were even weekends in September when I did not know the previous day’s scores in the National League-West. Very clearly the accuracy of this hope will have to wait until next spring when baseball begins again. It is impossible to predict now. 1 have a job interview/evaluation late this week that has me very twitchy. I leap sidewise at small noises and can frequently be found hunched over yellow pads furiously chewing on a pen. Apart from this anxiety, I do not know how I will handle it if I do not get the job, foul up the presentation, get the job, whatever. This can make life interesting, of course. There is a certain interesting, albeit anxiety-provoking quality to not being able to know where you are going to be about many things when you finally confront them. I have to deal with most things as they come along. Prior planning keeps me off the streets at night, but does not provide much else nuturient. to people who are being knowing where they are going is frequently not of tremendous help. It initially amounts to “So what’s so bad about that?” or equally helpful words. When I get through ducking the flak that such a response deservedly brings me and get my head together enough to realize that the person is in fact feeling bad about themselves, there are other options to making them feel better. Many of which are troublesome to me because, clearly, any control freak in his right mind would never turn down the ability to make accurate predictions about the world, including his own behavior in it. Having defended myself against anxiety sufficiently so that it does excuse me while I scratch my not bother me why should 1 want to deal myself back hives into that game? The only answer to the above question that I have run into is that I like people. Depending on where my wandering head is this seems to be either a perfectly sufficient or woefully inadequate answer. Take your pick. I’ll take mine. I’d compare, but what the hell difference does it make. We do what we do, yes? And perhaps if you are doing no damage to other people what we do should make no difference and we should allow ourselves, and other people, to muck through without undue commotion. Even if things look a little strange on occasion. Take care of yourself, avoid evil spirits. My response anxious about not - — Libertarian viewpoint To the Editor.

If you stand too close to him when he flexes a cheek muscle, the punch can floor you.” This physiognomical toughness comes not only from a constant cheeky grin and gritting of the teeth, but from the practiced enunciation of different things from either side of his mouth. In 1968, asked if he supported the Nixon-Agnew ticket, he said he was running for Senator from New York, not for President or Vice President. But in 1972, getting a whiff of the future landslide, he hitched his wagon to Nixon’s mudbail this despite the fact that he prided himself on being a critic of Nixon’s war. Now he is running again, and making the muscles jump on both sides of his face. For the left, he goes down and pals around with Fidel Castro; for the right, he professes horror that his opponent, Ramsey Clark, went to Hanoi and criticized American bombing. For the left, Javits misquotes Ralph Nader in his own praise; for the right, he attacks Clark as a Nader-type naif, an unrealistic ideologue. On Vietnam, Javits used to proclaim that he was neither hawk nor dove, but an owl. He should have said a lizard of the chameleon sort. Javits calls Clark naive, and then says the fact that he is keeping a $15,000 contribution from Nelson Rockefeller could not possibly influence his decision on Rockefeller’s confirmation. Javits has been a satellite of the Rockefeller politics and Rockefeller influence all through his recent career. But he is brighter than Rocky, who exudes an ill-defined mush. Javits speaks very well-defined and contradictory things to his different constituencies. To some he says, “Vote for me because I am a Republican.” To others: “Vote for me despite the fact that 1 am a Republican.” To others: “A vote for me will save you from the Republicans.” To others: “I will ward off the threat from the real Republicans.” To still others: “You and I are the only real Republicans left.” There is something to be said for each of those arguments, taken singly. But not for the whole range of them espoused simultaneously. He is a ventriloquist with a thousand dummies who are all himself yet he is no dummy. It’s a good trick, and no one doubts his skill.

The Legal Aid Clinic appreciates the publication of the article that appeared in the Friday, October 4 issue of The Spectrum. However, I would like to make one correction. The article stated that the clinic “is funded by mandatory student fees, which enable it to maintain a bail fund available to any student who is faced with a prison sentence.” The Legal Aid Clinic does maintain a bail fund. The clinic is funded by mandatory student fees. However, the bail fund is not funded by mandatory student fees. The bail money is not only available to any student it is available to any facing a prison sentence student in custody for whom bail has been set.

I am a resident of Lehman Hall who is very much concerned with a growing problem here at Governor’s residence halls. Being a Plutonian (yes, from the planet Pluto), I have noticed growing animosity against me and others from my planet. Since we do not think like your fellow humans and since we still have trouble adjusting to your culture and atmosphere, we are thought to be rather odd. We admit to being from the outermost planet (at least you humans think it is), so we are mocked and scoffed at. Our objective here at U.B. is to learn, not to be shamed. We who are members of the Inter-Galactic Space Travelers do not, in any way, appreciate the hardships we have been put through. Our Plutonuan — children also suffer. The University will not provide them with a Plutonian day or Mercury Oxide Center. As a result, many of us have found it necessary to nurse sick, pale, purple Plutonian children back to health. Also, our best Plutonian students, who wish to become space medics, find it virtually impossible to cope with such elementary subjects such as Earth chemistry, when it is taught so irrationally (by our standards). I am not the only Pluto person who thinks this way. I and many others have ooo’d to the fact that we are being exploited by the system. Even the cartoon featured in your paper “mocks” outright our Queen Blobtoza in it’s Ameoba take-off. Please, we must be heard by the majority of liberal thinking students in this University. We have nerve fibers too. - Cretoza Braizzevb — — “Tricky.” It may be naive to ask, as Clark has, for a little higher standard of honesty in politics. But if so, the nation seems to share that naivete, at least at the moment and that may mean that Javits is flexing his tough old cheek muscles in vain. - Commuter success To the h’ditor 1 wish to express my pleasure at seeing the recent Commuter Breakfast come off with great success. The turnout was good. Everyone had an enjoyable time and the food and drink were reasonably priced in these days of inflation. This is the first event to occur since the Commuter Council was formed. It appears to be a forerunner of things THI MOON IS RISIN to come which will benefit the entire University community. It has made people aware of what is going on and has stimulated interest in the Commuters Council. I hope that everyone will take advantage of the opportunities the Council will be presenting in the near future. Eliot Stenzel Wednesday, 30 October 1974 The Spectrum Page nine . . �s nr wm a T OM Proposed FSA changes... campus administrators have considerable power outside the formal FSA structure that may be able to negate an FSA decision, the report indicates, because of administration authority over use of facilities and allocation of resources. The study did not include an examination of FSA-operated bookstores, but it did investigate food services. Food service plans are mandatory at all campuses except the State Univesity at Buffalo and the State University College at New Paltz. The report termed the price variance for full meal plans “spectacular.” The State University College at Geneseo charges $525.60, the lowest reported, while the State College at Cortland charges a high of $672.18 for a full meal plan. Only five state schools offer a complete contract meal plan for less than $600, with this University organization, is campaigning to induce Erie County to follow the lead of Massena and acquire the county’s electrical facilities from Niagara report, Mohawk. prepared by R.W.

They found that Niagara Mohawk was buying electricity from PASNY at the Robert Moses Dam and selling it three miles away at Massena for five times the cost. They also point to a 23.5 percent rate hike attempted by the giant utility. Massena residents drew up a petition calling for a study of the feasibility of acquiring Niagara Mohawk facilities.

It points out that about half of the FSA’s have lost money in a given year and have had to use funds in reserve accounts for operations costs.

Feasibility study ACT-SHARP member Sandy Stoil, serving on the Committee, said that she hopes for a recommendation to contract an independent agency for a feasibility study. Ms. Stoil said she will recommend that R.W. Beck and Associates, the group that conducted the Massena analysis, be contracted for the Erie County study. If the committee fails to recommend a feasibility study, ACT-SHARP plans to petition area towns and cities to do their own feasibility studies. A petition of this sort legally binds the municipality to fund the study.

The project was part of a COE course entitled, “Process and Environment in Art,” taught by Richard Whitefield. Today, most of that mural has been painted over, and the rest is expected to disappear in the near future, reportedly at the direction of the College of Progressive Education, which has its offices in the basement. Mr. Whitefield, who did his best to halt the repainting, said, “I thought it was art and it should have been saved. You don’t just go around covering up paintings. When the painters came, I asked them to make sure they had the right place. 1 was sure it had to be a mistake.” Artistic expression f He feels that students should be encouraged to “leave a part of themselves behind” by doing similar artistic projects. But the University seems to want to keep everything as “uniform and sterile” as possible, he commented. Artwork commissioned and paid for by the administration, such as the super-graphics in WBLK-FM and BLUE NOTE RECORDS Present Live In Concert Sunday Nov 3 8:30 PM V •rrest Norton Union, have a “cold, commercial feeling,” he said, and does not have the same artistic value as a spontaneous expression of feeling like the work in MacDonald’s basement. Money should be put aside, Mr. Whitefield believes, to give students the opportunity to express themselves in painting. He is certain that if funds can be found to paint over the MacDonald Hall mural, they can also be found for his suggested program. He feels the resulting artwork would improve the University, giving it a more stimulating atmosphere as well as providing an outlet for students’ creative energies. The painters working in Macdonald basement have been convinced by Mr. Whitefield to save certain sections of the mural, but he feels badly that any of it had to be lost, and that other similar examples of creative expression, such as the mural in the Buffalo Meter Building on Main Street and the one in the tunnel between Norton Hall and Harriman Library, have also been covered. “I only hope that in the future, sometime, serious questioning can be made of the painting over of this kind of art at the University of Buffalo,” he said.

My guy is very interested, Each And so I tried to be. by Paige Miller Spectrum Staff Writer 1 learned the lingo very well, I learned formations, too. 1 learned the “bomb” and “power sweep’ And what the halfbacks do. One of America’s favorite stereotypes is the big, dumb collegiate athlete who never studies and never goes to classes. While this is hardly true, Buffalo basketball coach Leo Richardson has instituted a study hall for his players, in an effort to eliminate this stereotype altogether. The study hall, which meets two nights a week for two hours, is designed to keep all of the players academically eligible. Attendance is I learned Just how 1 learned And call mandatory. “The kids are going to study anyway, so we bring them together to do it,” said Richardson. “We’re trying to achieve some unity before the season starts. There’s more human relations involved in this than just playing basketball.” to tell the quarterback to play the game. to spot the man the ref a name. off-side, I learned to watch for replays, I learned how coaches think. I learned a “red dog” is no pet. And that tight ends don’t drink Eligibility and counseling Richardson believes the study hall is helping to accomplish the goal of keeping all the players eligible as well as establishing good study habits. Richardson also offers advice to his players. “We have them try to find a major. Most freshmen don’t have one. We try to counsel them,” he said. Other players had the problem of carrying only 12 credit hours. By determining their interests, a fourth course was found for them. Now, all but one of the team’s members are taking the full four-course load. Surprisingly, most of the players think the study hall idea is a good one. Junior guard Gary Domzalski, whose 3.0 grade point average proves he doesn’t really need the added discipline, commented, “I think it’s a good idea to bring the guys together for two hours between 1 blast the guard who missed his mark, The pass that’s overthrown. I call each man by his nickname In most familiar tone. practices.” I’m so gung ho, so full of verve, It’s very hard to guess That underneath this wise facade, I simply couldn’t care less! - Two of the program’s newcomers have found the study hall at least tolerable. Ron Washington said, “For two days a week, it isn’t too bad at all.” Larry Jones admitted that he probably would not study as much without the study hall, and that the two-hour sessions will help him academically. Dissension Other players aren’t so high on the idea, though. One player, who did not wish to be identified said, “I don’t think you should be told when to study.” Another, diligently reading a recent issue of Sports Illustrated, said, with as much sarcasm as he could muster that he “liked” the idea. Richardson, to be realistic, admitted that many-of the players live off campus and find attendance inconvenient. The coach originally got the study hall idea when he was head coach at Morris State. Last year, in his first year as head coach of the Bulls, there was no study hall. However, the need became apparent when Buffalo lost one player to academic ineligibility, and two of its seniors failed to graduate. I learned to know the penalty For each infraction called. And when our T.D. is called back. I’ve learned to be appalled. 1 watch the standings in the leagues, 1 know what it’s about. Although they always play full games, They’re half games in or out. Soccer Bulls limp home after knock down game against Geneseo by Dave Hnath Contributing Editor In a contest more reminiscent of a Philadelphia Flyers hockey game than a college soccer match, the Bulls were literally knocked down to defest Saturday, dropping a 3-0 decision to a mediocre Geneseo squad. “They’re a very physical team, there’s no doubt about that,” remarked Buffalo coach Sal Esposito. “They tried to make up for their lack of skills with physical play. When you have to worry about being taken out of the play or not, you can’t control the ball the way you know how,” he said. I’m hurt, you’re hurt The Bulls spent about as much time on the ground as they did on their feet in the foul-plagued contest, leading Esposito to comment, “Don’t ask who was hurl. It would be easier to ask who wasn’t.” One Bull who was definitely hurt was Pete Cosola, who was knocked down and trampled early in the first half before being carried off to the hospital. “I didn’t spend the whole game in the hospital from falling on my own,” observed the angry right wing. Both Esposito and co-captain Jerry Galkiewicz appealed to the referees to curb the rough play. “When I asked the referees to stop the game and bring both captains together,” related Galkiewicz, “he said, ‘No, everything’s alright.’ He just didn’t care NEWMAN CENTER - November at —Center Buffalo volleyball star Joanne Wroblewski winds up a serve in a squad practice session last week. Joanne, who has the ability to dominate a game, has led the squad to a quick 4-0 start. Particularly adept as a spiker and blocker at the net, Joanne's inspired play against Binghamton and Buffalo State earned her The Spectrum's Athlete of the Week honors. Newman Center, at 7:30 p.m Pre-Cana 12 and “When I talked to the referees at halftime, I told them I wasn’t worried so much about the score as I was about someone else getting hurt,” said Esposito. “Later on in the game, though, they tried to call every little thing, and then it hurt our game. Every time we had the ball, instead of just letting play continue, they’d call the foul, disrupting our momentum.” Jim Young, who was held without a goal for only the second time in 16 games, complained, “My guy was obstructing me, pushing me, doing everything but tying a rope around me.” Conspicuous by his absence was fullback Hans Zimmermann, who missed his second game in a row. Esposito, however, didn’t feel the senior’s absence had any effect on the outcome. “I doubt that Hans would have made any difference,” he said. “It was pretty obvious to me that we weren’t going to have a goal no matter what.” Centers clash The Bulls have a week off in preparation for the SUNY Center Tournament. The top seed in the tournament, Binghamton, is first in New York State and ninth in the latest national ranking. Defending champion Albany and host Stony Brook round out the field. The winner may capture a post-season tournament bid. “This week, practice all three days is going to be mandatory for everyone,” Esposito stated. “I think there’s just certain things we have to work out as far as togetherness.” Conference 14 University Ave for Couples in Love With Dr. Donald Nichols -Mr & Mrs'.

Last year there were 100,000 law school applicants for 37,000 law school,” Mr. Fink said.

He estimated that less than two percent of the candidates would suffer because of a Type I error. This means, simply, that two percent of those tested by ETS will have their qualifications underestimated. He called this a “fact of life,” but noted that “most of us are enormously predictable.” Increasing reliance on standardized tests in the future has been a commonly expressed fear among college students.

A motion to allow day care personnel to use SA office facilities, such as telephones and mimeograph machines was also endorsed after conbudget, although now in effect, siderable discussion. Some was never passed by last year’s Assenbly members had felt Assembly because of disruptions this would interfere with by unhappy student groups during SA’s operations and incur adthe budget hearings. ditional expenses. An attempt to allocate $1000 Changes to the Day Care Center was Since the budget had to be delayed until this year’s budget is submitted to the administration completely discussed, to by May 15, the Executive determine what funds are Committee passed it just before available, SA treasurer Sal Napoli the semester ended. If the Assembly makes any budgetary explained. Much of the meeting was spent changes, they will be subject to discussing and approving items on approval by the administration, the 74-75 SA budget which Assembly chairman Scott amounts to $907,684. The Salimando said. However, he said that most changes would probably be approved without any difficulty. The Assembly passed the budgets of 48 clubs and organizations. The Debate Club was the only organization that The SpECTI^UIVI Vol. 25, No. State 28 University of New York at Buffalo Friday, 25 October 1974 had difficulty getting its budget approved. Some Assembly members questioned the allocation of $2705 to a club with only 25 members. After it was explained that the Debate Club has shown the potential to become a more viable organization, its budget was passed in its entirety. Freeze approved The SA also approved a resolution passed by the Executive Committee Monday to freeze the Athletic budget if the Athletic Department does not abide by budgetary guidelines. SA President Frank Jackalone urged students to support Hugh Carey, the Democratic contender for governor of New York. Incumbent Malcolm Wilson “is just not ready to make a commitment to improve higher education and student voice in higher education,” Mr. Jackalone said. He explained that Governor Wilson would not take a stance on raising tuition or placing a student on the Board of Trustees. Mr." Carey, however, is pledged to holding the line on or eliminating tuition, and supports opening trustee meetings to students and retaining mandatory fees. Math College building an interdisciplinary base as examples of the College’s services to the by Mike McGuire Spectrum Staff Writer of their proposed charter in a public hearing before the Colleges Chartering Committee Tuesday night, insisting that the College is Spokesmen from the University community. College Mathematical Sciences defended inter-disciplinary, flexible, academic undertaking. Richard Orr, current executive officer of the College, told the committee and a an dozen observers that the purpose of the College is to combat the fragmentation of mathematics and related studies among specialized academic departments. The College has assembled a faculty from such disciplines as philosophy and medicine, as well as from math, statistical science, and computer science, he said. Having this wide range of concerns, the College also hopes to break down what it feels are false distinctions between “pure” and “applied” mathematics. He noted that the Reichert Prospectus mandates academic legitimacy in the Colleges, and said, “The quality of its instruction and activities are as high as any College in the Collegiate Assembly or any Department in the University,” Unlike some other colleges, he said, Mathematical Sciences has never experienced problems attracting both junior and senior faculty members. Mr. Orr also felt the College has no problems attracting and motivating students either, and predicted it would have enough resident students to fill at least half an Ellicott quadrangle within five years. Asked graduate student Attraction Mr. Greenwood point, noting went that on while to another the charter endorses the University’s Affirmative Action program, 80 percent of the College’s students are male. He asked if the College actually has an Affirmative Action program Daphne Hare, a faculty member and professor of Medicine, replied that female faculty tend to attract and motivate female students. Two out of the nine faculty members of College of Mathematical Sciences are female, and this percentage of about 20 percent is above the University’s average, she said. Irving Spitzberg, Colleges Dean, said there was a tendency on the part of some committee members to doubt that mathematical sciences could really be considered interdisciplinary. But John Corcoran, professor of philosophy, maintained there are connections between mathematics and philosophy, which are not usually thought of as related. “The truths of mathematics have stood for 2000 years,” Or. Corcoran said. Crossfire Jonathan Reichert, committee member and author of the Prospectus, commented that this was not very surprising, however, since ‘‘mathematics defines its own Representation Criticism by committee members centered on whether the program is, in truths.” fact, interdisciplinary, or if its offerings are instead only repetitive of those in other departments. One committee member felt the College’s tutoring activities serving both students and community members could be assumed by the Mathematics Department, at least for students taking courses. Another committee member attacked the College because he felt there was too little student representation in its internal department governance. College faculty, however, countered that the College’s policy-making body, the Executive Council, is made up of four students, four faculty members', and the Executive Officer. The College also came under fire for its proposal to pay the head resident of its area in Ellicott a salary of $8000 a year. But College faculty said that the head resident would have to coordinate the academic programs of the residential college as well as oversee dorm life, and deserved the proposed salary. High quality Mr. Orr cited talks by Marvin Zelen of Statistical Science and tutoring to students by representative John Greenwood if there was really flexibility in the College’s governance, since a “grandfather clause” in its charter allows chartering faculty to choose new faculty without student involvement, several faculty said that any prospective member of the College’s faculty would be able to persuade the Faculty Board to offer him membership. This appeared to some observers to skirt the issue, however. —Forrest But Dr. Corcoran blasted Dr. Reichert’s remark, calling it a “pedestrian attitude” toward math by those with “near-zero” knowledge, an attitude he said the College is trying to wipe out. Richard Siggelkow, vice-president for Student Affairs, called on Mathematical Sciences and the other residential colleges to prepare some objective measure for evaluating residential programs. The question of whether a residential College is really an improvement over the general College program may become important by the time the Colleges’ charters come up for renewal in five years, he said. It would benefit the residential Colleges if there were statistics to point to rather than the subjective judgments of faculty and students, Dr. Siggelkow added. Dr. Spitzberg said the groundwork for such a project is now being laid by several cooperating Colleges and departments. The Reichert Prospectus mandates that all Colleges must be chartered by Jan, 1, 1975. The next public hearing, to examine College F (Tolstoy College), will be held at 4 p.m. Tuesday in 339 Norton. The Women’s Studies College hearing is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, also in 339 Norton. �News analysis ticbudge t control still issue A thle by Bruce Engel Sports Editor Controversy, confusion and paradox has characterized a hectic week of hassling over the Student Association’s (SA) traditional bone of contention the athletic budget. Last Monday the SA Executive Committee unanimously passed a resolution calling for a freezing of Athletic Department fund if certain budget lines are not adhered to. The Executive Committee was reacting to an approved Athletic Department revision of the budget passed last spring. Significant cuts, totaling about $13,000, appeared in the revision for the funding of intramurals and recreation. Two days later, the original budget was to come up for approval in front of the Student Assembly, the final student authority on all legislation. SA Treasurer Sal Napoli had to inform the Assembly that it could not alter lines relating to men’s and women’s intercollegiates, general administration and publicity, and many of the club sports, due to the fact that some of these funds have already been spent and that most of the remainder involved contracts that must be honored. (All athletic events are contract items. An institution that signs a schedule contract may be sued if it refuses to compete.) - Total picture The net result is that SA is preventing the Athletic Department from cutting what it is inclined to cut intramurals and recreation. At the same time the Department finds it impossible to cut that which the Assembly might have been inclined to cut intercollegiate — - ‘Information Act athletics. It appears that the budget is at a point where little ifanything can change. There was also great confusion over whether there really were cuts in the budget lines affecting intramurals and recreation. The record shows that lines funding Intramurals, Main Street Recreation, Amherst Recreation (for the Bubble facility) and summer recreation, which were to receive a total of $57,000, according to SA figures, had been dropped to $44,000 by the Athletic Department. However, it seems that the simple loss of funds does not necessarily mean a curtailment of services in all cases. The department insists that most, if not all, of the dropped funds represent expenditures like equipment and graduate assistants, which cither the administration or the U.B. foundation have agreed to fund. To this, SA Student Affairs Coordinator Howard Schapiro responded, “In that case, the expenditure should stay the same and something should be added to the income line.” Mr. Jackalone has said he discovered a week ago that the Department was pot deviating from the proper figures in the first place. SA officials told the Department it had to make cuts to account for last year’s deficit and these cuts must not come from intramurals and recreation. So, the Department decided to make a six percent cut across the board on the intercollegiate athletics. However, according to Mr. Jackalone, it took the six percent from an early version of the budget that had already been cut. Therefore, intramurals and recreation had to take cuts as well, because the deficit had still not been cleared. Mr. Jackalone added that the cuts represented more than administration- funded items and included some intramural referees and other personnel, without whom less activities will be offered. The line for summer recreation, however, is the only one that appears to be grossly inadequate. It was decreased from $6,800 to $3,300. Who’s in control Finally, the controversy continued over who would control the athletic budget. Dr. Fritz and his fellow professionals have long insisted that all but the total figure should be left up to the discretion of their department since they are the professionals and they know best how to distribute the Policy statements budget. Associate Athletic Director Ed Muto mentioned Jackalone included a in SA President Frank memorandum that “any further support from the that exact lines can only be drawn up after the administration for intramurals and recreation shall be Department has done its contest scheduling in any given considered as additions, not substitutes, for monies year. “The money is adequate here” said recreation allocated by the Student Association.” This bolsters the policy statement from the SA last director Bill Monkarsh. “Philosophy is the problem. Are summer directing the Athletic Department not to make we, as professionals, going to be allowed to operate as such cuts in intramural and recreation lines, although cuts were with professional discretion?” However, students are the ones giving the money and needed at the time. Athletic Director Harry Fritz has acknowledged that correspondence and has even cited it as they insist upon maintaining control over it. They pass part of the reason for dropping crew as an intercollegiate budgets in specific forms and expect them to be administered in that way. sport. ” PROFESSOR SHLOMO DESHEN Veto is labelled ‘ridiculous’ Dept, of Sociology & Anthropology Tel Aviv University Israel - by Joseph P. Esposito Will speak on City Editor An aide to a Congressional committee has called • JEWS FROM ARAB LANDS: President Gerald Ford’s recent veto of the Freedom of Information Act “the most ridiculous veto” he has ever seen. James Kronfelt, Counsel to the IMMIGRANTS TO ISRAEL FROM MIDDLE EASTERN COUNTRIES Foreign Operations and Government Operations Subcommittee of the House Government Operations Committee, believes the veto was “absolutely inconsistent” with Mr. Ford’s announced policy of openness and candor in government. Wednesday, Oct. 30, at 3:00 pm The legislation was approved overwhelmingly by the House and the Senate. It is designed to strengthen the 1966 Freedom of Information Act by reducing the time limit for agency responses to requests for information. The bill also establishes administrative penalities for arbitrary refusal to provide the requested information; allows recovery of legal expenses in lawsuits to obtain the material; and closes various loopholes in the existing law. Room 337 Norton Union Sponsored by: Middle East Studies Committee of Council on International Studies Sociology Department Security classifications The veto was supported by all government except the Department of Health, Education and Welfare on the grounds that the bill would be too burdensome to them. Most agencies also opposed the 1966 Act. The National Security Council, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of Justice in particular oppose the new legislation because it would permit the courts to question security classifications and would broaden access by the public to investigatory files, Mr. Kronfelt explained. Presidential Counsel Philip Buchen also urged that the legislation be vetoed. The White House told The Spectrum that it has requested more flexible criteria, especially with respect to investigative agencies. The President has called the 10 days given to provide the information “simply unrealistic.” agencies, Override veto There are plans to try to override the veto when Congress returns to session on Nov. 18. Mr. Kronfelt * feels that chances for an override are “pretty good.” Pat Keefer, lobbyist for Common Cause, said the bill will be reconsidered first by the House. Mr. Ford had supported a privacy bill with provisions identical to some in this statute, she said. But the bill, sponsored by Rep. William Moorhead (D., Penn.), has CIA opposition because the “CIA distrusts the judiciary,” she added. Ms. Keefer agreed that there is a good chance that the Oct. 17 veto will be overridden. The present bill would overturn a 1973 Supreme Court ruling in a secrecy-stamping case. Sen. Edward Kennedy (D., Mass.) characterized the Ford veto as “a distressing new example of the Watergate mentality that still pervades the White House.” ‘Come Back, Little Sheba 9 Broadway and film actress Jan Sterling will open a four-week run in William Inge’s contemporary masterpiece, Come Back.

The proposal was made last week during a series of meetings between Day Care officials, University Provosts, and acting Academic Affairs vice-president Merton Ertell. Members of the Center had “been led to believe that the Provosts had the authority to channel faculty salary lines” into the Center, according to Jan Crabtee, a member of the Day Care Center Steering Committee and negotiating team. At a meeting Monday between the Provosts and Day Care officials, it was disclosed that Dr. Ertell, not the Provosts, had this authority. The .provosts w? re enthusiastic about helping the Center, but couldn’t do anything about, Ms. Crabtree explained. Dr. Ertell’s office had refused to send a representative to the meeting because it would be “unproductive.” Dr. Ertell had suggested an alternative meeting She said between the University vice-presidents and Day Care officials. explained. After the demonstration, a Day Care delegation met with Dr. Ertell in his office. “We tried to pin him down as to exactly what was happening,” Ms. Crabtree said. She maintained Dr. Ertell was interested in keeping the center open, but the circumstances under which this would occur were left open. “He said nothing specific,” other than a meeting would be set up between Day Care and the vice-presidents for Tuesday. That meeting was the scene of the Administration’s proposal to advance funds from the January, February, and March allocations, which, according to Day Care Center director Kathline Cassiol, would be used to pay the Center’s teaching staff. Commitment Although the Center rejected the proposal because it would leave no funds for January, she said the Administration hopes to alleviate the problem before the funds ran out. Ms. Cassiol claimed there are other areas in the University from which funds for the Day Care Center could be taken. Ms. Cassiol asked Dr. Ertell for the statement Wednesday, demonstrating the Administration’s written Pin down Day Care representatives declined and went ahead with the Provosts meeting, Ms. Crabtree said. Unhappy with the limited results of that meeting, she reiterated that the money is going to have to come from the Administration. They can’t put it onto anyone else’s shoulders, Ms. Crabtree emphasized.

Access could also be obtained with permission from the letter’s author. Alternatives Another section of the amendment permits the student to waive his right to access. Such an action might be necessary, Mr. Kwapisz pointed out, if a faculty member refused to write a letter of evaluation unless it was kept confidential. After waiving his right, a student could gain access to the information only through a court order. Ron Stein, associate director of the Office of Student Affairs, clarified the two major objections to the original law which led to the proposed amendment. First, the amendment would avoid the question of retroactivity, which could result in an “ultimate test of the law’s constitutionality,” Dr. Stein explained. This problem could arise when the University tries to abide by both its earlier contract of confidentiality and the legal requirement to release such materials. A second problem is the fear that letters of recommendation written under the new law might not provide a candid profile of the student. If this fear is sustained, Dr. Stein said, “graduate schools would be forced to rely more on impersonal evaluation of students, such as standardized tests.” If a student seeks a court order to obtain the release of a letter, he might find himself in a Catch-22 bind. Mr. Stein indicated that the burden of proof is on the student, who would have to prove damages before being allowed to see the damaging materials. October 1974 . The Spectrum . Page three �Displaced Dorm advocates Food coupon problem focus of IRC probe by Terry Koler Spectrum Staff Writer The Inter-Residence Council (IRC) is currently looking for a solution to the food coupon dilema facing many board contract students, and is investigating the inadequate funding of intercampus busing. The coupons were issued at the beginning of the year as a weekend supplerngnt to the Monday through Friday contract services. The packet of information sent to the students regarding the purchase of coupons did not specify that they would expire at the end of the semester. The possibility of extending the coupons into next semester may cause legal difficulties. “We have a contract with the state, and if you break the rule once, the contract is null and void,” said Don Bozek, acting director of Food Service. Tax exemption According to the State Tax regulations, there are certain stipulations which allow Food Service to make the coupons tax exempt, Mr. Bozek explained. Shustack, Executive vice-president of IRC. Governor Wilson has reportedly intimated to Dr. Ketter that there will be no problem with the funds for the Amherst Campus, he-noted. Dr. Ketter was unavailable for comment. IRC plans to circulate a questionnaire to help determine a special bus schedule for the duration of finals week. “We’ve done it in the past and it has been very successful,” Mr. Weber said. “A new bus route is being designed and new roads have been made accessable. Altogether it sounds very good,” the IRC President indicated. Complaint ■boxes will be put up at the bus stop to get ideas for new improvements, Mr. Weber added. Other plans IRC a number has of other plans up its sleeve for the coming year. “We plan to run buses to different activities like we did to the Stevie Wonder Concert,” said Jim Smith, vice-president in charge of activities. Plans to run buses to University hockey games and the Beach Boys Concert are already in the making. In addition to the twelve to fifteen movies IRC shows per semester, it “There must be a termination date printed on the coupon books.

IRC has been in touch with President Robert Ketter and a supplemental request for funds has been sent to Albany. “We feel pretty sure that we’ll get the money to continue SUPERMAN (1955) the present service,” said Perry Professor forbidden to hold office hours in Rathskelkir by Kim Weiss Spectrum Staff Writer Biology professor C.E. Smith has been his office hours in Norton Hall s Rathskellar regularly for the last three years. Suddenly, this September, however, George Nancolus, Natural Science Provost, “abruptly forbade me to further hold hours in the Rat, because he felt it was undignified of a professor to help his students in the cafeteria,” Dr. Smith has revealed. In addition, the provost warned him not to discuss the matter at all with anyone especially the press, Dr. Smith said. He quoted Dr. Nancolus as saying, “Whenever there is trouble with the students, don’t let the press know about it.” It all started in 1970, Dr. Smith explained, when Carl Cans, former chairman of the Biology Department, moved all the department s professors from one office to another without any apparent reason. “I was told in November that I would have to be out of my office by the end of that school year,” Dr. Smith said. Consequently, in June 1970, he moved all his files and papers six truckloads to his home. But the confusion. Cans forgot to assign me to all “in another room,” Dr. Smith said. conducting was that it provided Dr. Smith with the necessary information he needed to protect future generations of biology students. “Former students would frequently visit me in the Rat and inform me of what material I had omitted in class that appeared on the Medical College Admission Test,” he said. “1 would then include this material in the curriculum for the following semester.” He noted that such students are less inclined to seek him out in an office. Last year, Dr. Nancolus offered Dr. Smith an fice in the Health Science building, but Dr. Smith - - - Rat hours He then began holding office hours “at the table near the dirty-dish conveyer belt” in the Rathskellar. He felt that his new location proved a great success in many ways. “I noticed a positive psychological change immediately,” he said. The Rathskellar was a pleasant departure from the stereotyped austere atmosphere of a traditional office room, Dr. Smith declared. “I became a guest in the students domain, instead of appearing, to many, to be an inaccessible and often awesome figure.” About 800 students are enrolled each year in Dr. Smith’s biology section and often 30 to 40 students would visit him at one time. “The Rat, unlike my office, could accommodate everyone,” he said. “We held sessions in an informal round table set up. It was almost like a seminar because of its spontaneous nature,” he added. “One student’s question often benefited everyone else.” Necessary information Another advantage of the Rathskellar location C.E. Smith turned down the offer, preferring to remain in the Rathskeliar. Dr. Smith claimed he is the only professor that has been singled out, among teachers in other departments, who may not continue to help students in the Rathskeliar. He moved into Room 110 Health Science last week and has already noted a critical drop in the number of students seeking aid. Those who do come to see him now must often wait in the hall for as long as one half an hour until they may speak with him. Buffalo Premiere!

In order for college to receive a charter this year, it must show that its work is not being offered by any other branch of the University. & “We are the only undergraduate unit systematically making a study of theories of education,” said J. Ronald Gentile, College master. Stressing the differences between FES and the Progressive Education Center, Mr. Gentile said, “FES is almost entirely composed of graduate programs. The undergraudates who take FES programs do so primarily because they are en route to a teaching certificate.” Alternatives Consequently, FES is almost entirely geared toward preparing people to meet state requirements for licensing and not for the study of alternatives in modern education, Mr. Gentile observed. Program Coordinator Elliot Topper and Mickey Cohen, a member of the faculty of Progressive Education College, further stressed its dissimilarity to FES, stating that the College focuses on more practical aspects of education, such as teaching in inner-city schools, than does FES. “We will be developing ties with the outside community by setting up different types of open classrooms on the East Side and by having some of our students do volunteer work in certain inner city schools, such as Central Community School,” Mr. Topper said. One committee member produced statistics to show that blacks and students from disadvantaged backgrounds were not enrolling in the classes of the College. “Given the nature of many of your courses which focus on inner-city education, don’t you feel there is a need for an Affirmative Action program. What efforts are you making to recruit blacks?” he asked. Mr. Gentile said he had not been aware of these statistics, but said, “We will have a formal connection with black and disadvantaged students on campus and are in the process of developing specific channels of interaction with these groups. I’m sure we will be able to attract a greater percentage of blacks in the future. If not, we should be held accountable.” Ms. Cohen also pointed out that blacks and other minorities had become indirectly involved with the Progressive Education College through programs instituted by the College. “For example, many blacks participated in the Free alternative high school which I set up through the College,” she stated. College representatives also defended their residential program, stressing that it allowed for the “growth of informal friendships around the discipline” and facilitated a continuing intellectual atmosphere. However, only a few students who requested the College’s housing had been placed there. Asked if the Progressive Education College would have a particular focus or ideological twist, Mr. Gentile feels it is his responsibility as master to hire teachers with as many different points of view as possible. According to the charter of the Progressive Education College, the master is “responsible for the College currculum” and for the quality of the programs and staff.

They must follow closely the approved list prepared by the district boards. A spokesperson for the assistant-superintendant of Curriculum Evaluation and Development in Buffalo has indicated that the replacement of the old literature by the new materials will be a slow and gradual process. Edward Smith, an editor for the American Book Company (which made its revisions two years ago), has found that educational institutions are requesting these new materials as replacements for very old books, but explained that most schools cannot afford any drastic turnovers.

Through the practice of transcendental meditation (TM), over 400,000 men and women in the US have benefited from a unique state of “restful alertness.” TM has proven an effective means of alleviating the common stress and strain which confronts us daily. Scientists have described the state of deep rest induced by TM as a fourth state of consciousness, as natural as the other three states; wakefulness, dreaming and deep sleep. Recent investigations into the effects of “restful alertness” made at universities and research institutes have shown that during the period of meditation, oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide elimination, heart and respiratory rates decrease significantly. This evidence, together with blood chemistry and brain wave patterns, demonstrates that transcendental meditation allows the body a deeper state of rest than that attained in deep sleep, when mind remains highly alert. Scientific technique The technical aspects of TM have become an increasing source of interest in the field of medicine. The technique itself is scientific and perfectly adaptable to objective studies. John Zamarra, a senior medical resident at Meyer Memorial Hospital and associate clinical instructor at the State University at Buffalo Medical 'School, is conducting a study on the effects of transcendental meditation on angina pectoris, a stress-related coronary artery disease. The study was made possible through a grant from the Western New York Heart Association. Angina pectoris, a major cause of heart attacks today, is a syndrome of “exertional chest pain” caused by a blockage of the arteries of the heart. According to Dr. Zamarra, angina pectoris, which is caused by hyper-tension, is a “by-product of modern society,” and directly related to the individual’s level of stress. Angina pectoris patients are limited in their exercise capacity because of the narrowing of their arteries. (Only a certain amount of exercise can be done before chest pain develops.) “TM seems to have a deconditioning effect on the transcendental meditation tone down the entire system, reducing the pain at its source. “My outlook on life amazes me,” says Ludwig Wegemann, a patient participating in the five years ago. “But then I would Continuing Education and the probably claim that I didn’t have School of Management of the State University at Buffalo will the time,” Mr. Perry said.

Transcendental meditation has proven successful in treating other stress-related diseases, such as asthma and high blood pressure.

In trying to show the Chartering Committee that they do fact offer legitimate academic programs, some Colleges in have been told they are duplicating the functions of the regular departments. But when a College like Rachel Carson presented a broad offering of programs that no academic department in this University has offered, some Committee members questioned its academic legitimacy. While the Committee's concern with duplication at a time of scarce resources is understandable, it should realize that the Reichert Prospectus has forced many Colleges to walk an incredibly fine line between innovation and traditional educational programs, a difficult thing to demand of anyone. A College like Vico, for example, was criticized last week for being a closet academic department because it was faculty-controlled and many of its courses were cross-listed. But Rachel Carson College also came under fire for offering what seemed like unacademic independent study and single-credit skill courses. The Chartering Committee has thus been leveling criticism from both conservative and progressive viewpoints, and may be inadvertently placing all the Colleges in a virtual no-man's land. Instead of trying to confine the Colleges to this ill-defined category, the Committee should place more weight on the distinctiveness of each College's goals and how hard each College has been striving to achieve these goals. The Progressive Education College, for example, was criticized by some committee members for being unable to attract a great percentage of blacks, since much of the College's focus is on working with minority students in inner city schools. That a College is even attempting to develop Guest Opinion by Ron Hendren College Press Service President Ford went out of WASHINGTON his way to invite young people to participate in his recent series of summit meetings on the economy, but from his initial recommendations to Congress, you’d never know it. There wasn’t a single provision in his economic game plan designed to benefit young workers out in search of their first job. In fact, the President made it clear that his new programs were intended only to assist those persons already in the work force, and that the requirements for eligibility exclude persons who have not worked before. To get a job in his proposed new Community Improvement Corps, for example, one would have to have exhausted all his unemployment insurance something which the first-time job benefits seeker obviously couldn’t do since he would not qualify for those benefits in the first place. This means that of all middle and lower those who will bear the income wage earners brunt of Mr. Ford’s inflation fighting program persons about to enter the work force for the first time will be hit hardest. - - such a program makes it worthy of a charter, especially since no academic department would be likely to pursue such a program with the same zeal.In the same way, certain aspects of the Mathematical Sciences College may be somewhat repetitious of the of the Mathematics department, but the College has shown itself to be committed to an interdisciplinary course of study totally unique to the - — When National Student Lobby executive director Arthur T. Rodbell made this point to budget director Roy L. Ash in a closed White House meeting last Wednesday, the best Ash and his aides could come up with was, “There are already a lot of programs to aid students.” He might have added, as Rodbell did, that most of them are funded at about 50 percent of their authorization. But even so, that isn’t the point. It isn’t students who are going to find themselves against a stone wall under the President’s program it is those who have just crossed the barrier into the work world and are trying for the first time to earn their own way. In today’s job market, crossing that barrier successfully is already difficult enough. With unemployment approaching six percent. University. Members of the Committee have said that the academic departments could offer some of these programs, but we must question whether many departments could ever be relied on to commit themselves to experimental courses of study. As the Committee proceeds with its evaluation, it should carefully consider the narrow parameters the Reichert Prospectus has set and think twice before it criticizes a College for duplication.

Someone should remind the President that it is the unmarried wage earner, above all others, who has been bearing a lion’s share of the income tax burden all along. Someone should also remind him that with current sky-rocketing food prices, a $7500 income is by no means “upper-level.” Mr. Ford may toast his own English muffins, but it is painfully obvious that he has not been going to the store lately to buy them. The long and short of it is that President Ford has been listening to the wrong advisors, economic and otherwise. Ever since he assumed office, even though the disastrous Nixon pardon, this columnist has refrained from criticizing him, on the theory that every new chief should have the chance to pull on his pants a few times without some armchair critic complaining about the way program is he buckles his belt. But his economic program, at least that part of it that he has so far revealed, is in several major ways buckled all wrong. A lot of other people know it, and it is time the President did. If not, the man who is fond of telling us he is a Ford and not a Lincoln may soon discover that he has turned into an Edsel, one that on the basis of performance records to date, may well be recalled in 1976.

Result: Few jobs for new workers, and not even the opportunity to participate in what the President called “short-term useful work projects to improve, beautify and enhance the environment of our cities, towns, and countryside,” through his planned Community Improvement Corps. To add insult to injury, the President further proposed to saddle unmarried wage earners with an additional five percent surcharge tax, beginning at the $7500-a-year level, a sum which Mr. Ford termed the beginning of the “upper-level individual income bracket.” The magic mark of affluence for families, according to the Ford the Editor-in-Chief, Last Sunday night, we decided to take a break, and go out for a drink at our local bar, Strinka’s (Niagara Falls Blvd.). The three of us walked in at about 8:00 p.m., and sat down at the bar. The bartender greeted us and engaged us in a friendly conversation until we placed our orders. After we placed our orders he asked us for a Sherriffs card, and refused to serve us unless we produced one each. Two of us, being from New York City, never having use for one, felt that a U.B. ID card and a New York State driver’s license would be sufficient. The other person, from Erie County, always found other proof sufficient. Considering that we didn’t want to drink Shirley Temple’s all night, we questioned the bartender, who rudely told us that we didn’t look 18 (we are all 21). We feel we were discriminated against because we were students and we would like to see this type of discrimination stopped in the U.B. area.

I start this review with an humiliation. I have not read Naked Lunch. I did not see evenings one and two of the production at the Courtyard Theater. However, evening three was enough to convince me that an act of abject extraordinary theatrical event took place here in Buffalo on the 17th and the 18th, as well as the 19th of this month. I do not feel self-conscious in this apology. After a preliminary encounter with the work of William S. Burroughs, shame becomes an act performed by “others" in the "other reality." Shame and guilt become nonentities; anachronisms from a non-relevant consciousness. Truly, Burroughs takes one into a reality that offers no handles, railings, or grasp onto for comfort or You are swept into an amoral maelstrom the whirling intensity of which is directly proportional to the energy exerted by the players (deliverers would be a word more in touch with their function). In this performance, the energy of The Chicago Project/New York reached hurricane proportions. landmarks to interpretation. Frantic but eloquent I will not attempt traditional manner vyith to deal in a the material Burroughs presents. There will be no analysis of plot, discussion of character delineation, or comments on dialogue. Rather, I will try to convey a sense of the frantic debauchery that marks the show. If one seeks a work of art to enlarge his understanding of this production, he may look to the words of de Sade or the caricatures of George Grosz. Only here will he find parallels to Burroughs' ability to relate the eloquently overstated fact or fantasy. In Burroughs' work, the worlds of fact and fantasy merge into a place/time continuum where the only guides to relevance and understanding are buried within the author and the viewer. There is no translation of material, as such, to be explicit meaning to be made, no discovered. It is a construction of diverse vectors with no commonality, other than that they have been juxtaposed by the author. Internal film Each moment in the project portrays an instant in the continuum, a frame in a film composed of scenes from on the mental floor (the conscious and subconscious) of the editor (Burroughs) and spliced together in the order in which they were found. Page ten TKi Spectrum Friday, 25 October 1974 . . touching sensitivity alongside vulgar banality. This is not to say that Burroughs is inconsistently poetic and prosaic. He has merely taken the diversity of life, real and imagined, gentle and violent, rewarding and disgusting, and thrown it back at us. The fantasies of fulfilling or degrading actions acted out by the players are renderings in graphic detail, of that which is, to quote from the show, the "human virus." For example, during the section on Islam Incorporated, a heterosexual couple about to make love is interrupted by "the State" (Annexia). The anger of the male is expressed by a feverish pacing and which culmiate his of his belt in in a menacing shaking gesture. His companion picks up on it and places her buttocks in an offering position. In his attempt to immediately release and fulfill his anger, he inadvertently strikes his genitals and stumbles off the stage in pain. Marching through the continuum His dumbfounded partner approaches the audience slowly strutting, mattef-of-factly says, "What can I say? He's a nice guy.” That event should not be viewed as a separate scene. It is a small section lifted from the place/time —continued on page 16— Prodigal Sun �by Randi Scbnur Am Editor At one point in The Gambler, Jimmy, a bookmaker/friend of the hero's, prepares himself to make what he considers a really profound point about his clients, something he "ain't never told nobody." "You know what makes all of them the same?" he asks compulsive gambler Axel Freed. "Yes," Axel answers, ruining Jimmy's big moment, "they're all looking to lose." The big Italian (nearly all the gamblers in this film are Italians only Axel is Jewish) does a double-take and wails, "You mean you know that?" Axel knows it perfectly well, probably was aware of it even before he started playing for big money; an English instructor at a New York City college, a Harvard man, he knows all about motives like this one. Born to win, Axel Freed is fiercely determined to destroy himself. Karel Reisz's film is a harrowing and relentless, but beautifully executed chronicle of Axel's moves toward that end. His obsession has no let-ups, allows no time for rest; every comic moment with his wise-cracking associates, every love scene between Freed and Billie, his girlfriend, and even each point he makes to his literature class refers back to his stupendous debts or his intention to incur still more of them. — her Billie apparently does nothing but wander around the bedroom looking expectantly sexy. She acts adequately, and does have one interesting scene with Axel in a Las Vegas hotel room. But as Grandpa Lowenthal warns, 'That girl was meant for a club not for a man of character and man, a playboy not for a Jew." Billie is pretty but shallow, virtue and so, evidently, is Hutton. Centered entirely around a single obsessive idea, The Gambler is essentially a one-man show, and James Caan is the one man who makes it work. He belongs to an elite corps of male sex symbols (Clark Gable, Cary Grant, and Paul Newman are the other members who immediately come to mind) who can also really act. Watching him discuss Notes from Underground with his class, his tight shirt buttoned just high enough to allow him to hold onto his tenure, we can understand Billie's otherwise incomprehensible devotion. He throws away — - Lethal habit The instant he wins anything, the money goes back into play, usually before his high-pressure creditors have a chance to get it away from him. His refusal to risk anything less than a small fortune at a betting sums he can actually afford to lose time makes gambling less potentially lethal, and therefore renders the adjective much less exciting "compulsive" far too mild a description for Axel's case. He is nothing short of suicidal. Comparisons with the other major gambling film of the season, Robert Altman's California Split, are inevitable. Altman's light touch infuses the suspense inherent in the subject with comedy; Elliott Gould's gags manage to break up most of the perpetually neurotic George Segal's tensest moments. (And even when his jokes fail to amuse Segal, whose status as the recent cinema's quintessential nervous wreck has been challenged by Woody Allen, they succeed with us.) Reisz and screenwriter James Toback take just the opposite approach; instead of using his sense of humor to lighten the proceedings, James Caan's Freed diffuses our occasional laughter .under the weight of his incredible monomania. — — Amiable terrorists What might otherwise have seemed deadening becomes stunning in the hands of The Gambler's generally excellent cast. Although Paul Sorvino's Hips, the friendly loan shark, and Burt Young and Carmine Caridi as bookmakers Carmine and Jimmy all seem interchangeable, the peculiar mixture of terror and amiable good humor evident in each of the three sets them a few steps above Hollywood's usual underworld heavies. Jacqueline Brooke as Axel's doctor-mother Naomi and Morris Carnovsky as grandfather A.R. Lowenthal, furniture dealer and founder of "the largest chain American had ever seen," are both effective, torn between love and sympathy for their beautiful boy and disgust at his choice of avocation. Brooke, in particular, does a fine job with an ambiguous role. Her unusually (for a film dealing with a predominantly "masculine" subject) intelligent, active character is burdened with a script full of cliches, as if Toback, once having created Naomi Freed, didn't quite know how to handle her; but the actress rises above her writer's uncertainty. in the hole? Lauren Hutton, a high-fashion model whose special appeal seems to have been lodged in the large gap between her two front teeth, makes an unimpressive debut as Axel's girlfriend. Until she finally gives up trying to annoy him into reforming. Ace $44,000 in an evening of poker, then quotes Dostoevsky ("Desire is life"), William Carlos Williams, and D.H. Lawrence (Americans "are the greatest dodgers because they dodge their own very selves") to justify his actions. (And how many movie starts could bring that trick off successfully?) Axel's dance of death is marvelously complex, horrifying and yet beautiful to watch. The closing sequence, in which he maneuvers a venomous black prostitute and her pimp into awarding him the red badge of self-destruction he has been searching for, results in a final image that is truly shattering. This parting show is, in fact, the best and most important part of the film. The Gambler, like Axel Freed's mind, never strays from its single track for a moment. Traveling with it to the end of the line may require some patience; it's a difficult, even a grueling journey, but well worth the effort.

The Spectrum Page eleven . �RECORDS The Who Odds & Sods (Track Records) Lou Reed Sally Can't Dance (RCA) Lou Reed's music has always been a reflection of the murky nether world of our culture. Reed explores the societal interstices and enclaves inhabited by the fringe elements of a society slowly going berserk through its own hypocrisy and inequality. Lou's subjects are the rejects and refugees from culture's organized insanity, being dissipated by their own nihilistic madness. The concentration of Reed's tv eye focuses on sexual ambiguity, drugs, and a neo-decadence, all bathed in an aura of depraved kinkiness. When Reed is on target he depicts the seamy sides of Bohemian life styles with arresting power and x-ray clarity. Reed's "Walk On The Wild Side," a slick, spidery jaunt through the bizarreness of Warhol's star stable, and "Sweet Jane," a rocking glance at moral inversion and sexual role dissolution are prime examples of his etching voyeuristic and insightful portraits. Sally Can't Dance is a continuation of this basic Reed theme. Lou croons eight tunes, all immersed in some aspect of the limbo and more often hell-like existence of living or just barely surviving on the amorphous, amphetamine-tainted edges of society. The only surface change Lou has added to his music is a horn section, which lends a touch of funkiness and punch to the proceedings. It's likely this new wrinkle was introduced by producer Steve Katz as a result of his previous association with Blood, Sweat, and Tears. "RideSally Ride" kicks off the LP, and we find Lou trying to make and win the affection of a diffident Sally encased in her heart of ice. Even Lou's pleadings to "Take off your pants don't you know this is a party" don't seem to spark any sort of a reaction. Some nimble background singing and horn work coupled with a strong melody make this cut succeed. The lunacy of "Animal Language" follows. It is an absurd number replete with bow-wows and meows. Only the erratic brilliance of Reed, and tight playing by the band, bring this tune off. The two tracks concerned with drugs are "Baby Face" and "Sally Can't Dance." "Baby Face" fleshes out the story of a relationship encountering rocky going due to Baby Face's propensity for putting her drug appetite first and her lover a poor second. On the title cut Sally, a hip woman, who is into shaking her ass at discos and balling folksingers, discovers that one of the lesser hazards of indulging in a heavy meth diet is a curtailing of her bumping and dancing activities. "Baby Face" is low keyed and sedate in its musical approach, while "Sally Can't Dance" reverts to a romping arrangement to state its — — message. Reed continues to sing in a jaded novocaine fashion. His vocal style definitely requires acquired taste to appreciate, yet on some of the uptempo cuts Lou projects ripples of animation to accompany their liveliness. Perhaps the area most annoying is Reed's penchant to force rhyming schemas. Reed thus forfeits street corner realism for pure jive and shamming. Another casualty is Reed's tune "Billy," which closes the album. The song parallels the growth of Lou and his boyhood chum Billy and the different life options they have pursued. Lou turns on, drops out, and subsequently is declared mentally unfit for the war while Billy, who has become a doctor, goes off to war only to come back numbed and a vegetable from the shattering experience. But instead of being compassionate or searching the song is heavy-handed and vindictive. The supposed raw power of "Billy" falls short and flat on its snide face. Lou's personal appearance has changed, manifesting itself in his dyed blonde locks (this probably being a concession to that generally agreed-upon piece of folk wisdom that blones do have more fun). Turning again to Sally Can't Dance, Lou has created an album light years ahead of his last studio enterprise, Berlin. But then again, Berlin was an abysmal bomb. Novices approaching Reed should put in their apprenticeship with Rock 'n Roll Animal, a more accessible and commercial record. Reed cultists, on the other hand, can immediately savor the spaced rollicking weirdness of Sally Can't Dance. Speaking candidly for this self-proclaimed pundit, I'm just as pleased as puch about a musical perspective divergent from John Denver and his ilk, even if Reed's philosophy often runs headlong into obstacles and dead ends. —C.P. Farkas Page twelve The Spectrum Friday, 25 October 1974 . . ua’jixif'j wm'tqZ njT In the light of recent musical developments in the ever-changing land of Rock, The Who’s new album Odds & Sods is a tasty delight. While many established groups fall back on their roots as a progressive effort. The Who simply dig up their roots for exposure on Odds & Sods. It is a choice collection of unreleased goodies recorded at various phases of the group's advance from Mod to sophisticated. The Who are one of the most exciting groups left and this album unveils some origins of the masterpiece work recorded by the foursome. Opening with "Postcard," a composition by bassist .John Entwistle, the group takes off with a song about the miseries of playing on the foreign road. Like Ray Davies' "Motorway" and "Here Comes Yet Another Day," "Postcard" reveals the pain of disapproving eyes, the incessant constancy of concerts every night, the frustration of bad reviews, and the boredom of long plane rides. Good, rich horns, also by Entwistle, add nicely to the song, making it vaguely reminiscent of Sgt. Pepper's "Good Morning, Good Morning." We now see that a lot of themes in pre-Tommy material were subsequently incorporated into the rock-opera. "Now I'm A Farmer" commences with Keith Moon blitzin' around the drums while Pete raiov»0 ■?. *1 Townsend hits the right chords at the right spots, a theme that has become so thoroughly Who-ish that it is a standard device. Also, "Glow Girl," an immediate predecessor to Tommy, abounds with familiar stuff. Opening with the same four note sequence that begins "Sensation," it progresses to a Hendrix-style plane crash. And if that isn't enough, the closing lines of the song are: "It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it’s a girl." As Townsend has said, "I rarely leave any good idea unused." "Put The Money Down," one of the more recent recordings, is emblematic of modern Who material. We hear one of the major evolutions in the group's career, that of Roger Daltrey's changing vocals. Unlike some other artists (e.g. Van Morrison) who began their careers singing raunchily and then mellowing out as the years progress, Daltrey used to have a real smooth, almost pretty voice. This was manifested on songs like "Tattoo" and "Amazing Journey.” Now Daltrey usually sings with a raw, earthy sound which is fine in the context of the group, but hurt his solo effort. The only redeeming songs on that work were the ones sang with some degree of polish. On the second Tommy with the London Symphony Orchestra, one can observe the difference in Daltrey's singing there and on the original. "Little Billy" is a real gem from 1968 about the of cigarettes and its subsequent cancer. Originally a commercial for the American Cancer Society, it never made it due to its length. The song is about Billy and his classmates. Billy is too fat to be accepted by the others so he does not fall prey to the activity of smoking cigarettes to be cool because it wouldn't've helped him socially anyway. The song evils shoots ahead many years when: "Most of them smoke nearly forty a day A habit Billy doesn't share One by one they're passing away Leaving orphans to Billy's care." But little Billy’s doing fine. Townsend's vocals are just fine, too. "Too Much Of Anything" and "Pure And Easy" are from the Who's Next period. The former, about a weary, tired individual who has done too much and lacks the desire to go one, has some pretty laid back piano. The latter is really the focal point of much of Who's Next, stemming from the last verse of "Song Is Over." Although "Pure And Easy" appeared on Townsend's solo album, the group version is better, due to Daltrey's rendition of the esoteric lyrics. Townsend's guitar comes back at the end like dynamite, and he finishes singing the song. "I'm The Face" is The Who's very first record release back in 1964 and it is remarkable because the song, written by Peter Meaden, is exactly like "Got Love If You Want It," a blues classic which predates this song. Right down to the harmonica arrangement. I wonder how the copyright laws were superseded? The song itself is basically a Mod of that period addressing his bird (or was it babe?). "Naked Eye" fuses some of the best ideas used in Tommy and Quadrophenia. Although a studio piece, this number was written around a concert riff performed at the end of the "Tommy" concerts. Musically reminiscent of the extended jam in the live version of "My Generation" on Live at Leeds, "Naked Eye" gradually became a big concert number. Townsend wanted to record a good live ver-.ion but things must've gone wrong here and there. At least we have this fine studio performance. Daltrey and Townsend trade leads on vocals as they progress through lyrics expressing frustration with the facade of the world. "Long Live Rock," the album's closer, is The Who's tribute to an era. Musically, it's somewhat like "Cut My Hair" and has some Chuck Berry underneath the chorus. Pete Townsend said he once had an idea for a new album about the history of The Who called Rock is Dead Long Live Rock. This idea later developed into what became Quadrophenia. Odds & Sods stands effectively as if it were an excellently produced legal bootleg album. Not many other groups could make a record album out of their obscure tracks at least not a very good one. But The Who, a group that has had exactly the same personnel for over 10 years (try and think of another group), has proved themselves to be consistently good and capable of creating a masterpiece. Odds& Sods has many fine parts and is very enjoyable on the whole. The Who fan will appreciate it as an anthology of musical ideas, while one who is relatively unfamiliar with The Who will find the album pleasing in its own right. —Jerry Duci — — ART HISTORY UNDERGRAD ASSOC otters a Bus trip to Toronto to visit The Chinese Exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum Saturday-Nov. 9th BUS LEAVES BAIRD PARKING LOT AT 10 a.m. AND RETURNS TO UB at 8 p.m. COST: $5.00 BUS - $1.00 admission to museum Sign up in Art History Office 325 Foster Hall and turn in bus money by November 4th.

Directed by Clifford Williams, the production features plexiglass sets and a soft-rock score, and was described by Peter Lewis of the London Daily Mail as “a conception of the play so different, so strange, so visually and aurally hypnotic that the fact that all the girls are really men takes its place as merely one of the elements in a dream-like total experience which you accept along with all the rest.” A somewhat more conventional approach to Shakespeare marks Ronald Wille’s production of Henry IV, Part One the season’s opener at Kenan Center’s Taylor Theatre in Lockport, being performed Wednesdays and Saturdays at 8:30 p.m. through November 9.

Wait a minute. If you bothered to read this at all, then you probably like Rod Stewart, right? Remember how good he used to be? Well, you can rest easy now, because he still sounds just like he always did. On Smiler, his fifth solo album, Stewart tends to confine himself to themes that are by now all too familiar. Among these is Stewart's apparent preoccupation with being just like Mick dagger, and consequently, four or five songs here that sound just like the Rolling Stones. Following his standard formula for producing successful albums. Rod has brought together a number of excellent musicians, written a few songs himself, and included material from other prominent songwriters. Among these are Elton John and Paul McCartney, who both contributed original songs to this album. Stewart's last major hit, "Twistin' the Night Away," was originally written and performed by Sam Cooke, so this time around, he has included two Sam Cooke songs, "Bring It on Home to Me," and "You Send Me." "Sweet Little Rock 'n Roller," a Chuck Berry song, is also rendered here, and sounds just like many other Chuck Berry songs. The arrangement of this song is interesting in that it sounds just like the Rolling Stones imitating Chuck Berry. That's progress. Faces guitarist Ron Wood, who plays on most of the album, also co-authored the songs "Sailor" and "Dixie Toot" with Stewart. The former, a song about touring in a rock band, features the Memphis Horns and sounds like the Rolling Stones. The latter, a song abou. touring in a rock band, is more interesting and contains some good tips on how to enjoy oneself in New Orleans: "I'm gonna lose control of my powers / might even lose my trousers Smash some glass. Act like trash if I want Wear a skirt Be a flirt if want. Very nice. No Rod Stewart album would be complete without ballads, and Smiler has its share. Dylan's "Girl from the North Country" comes off well, although the Goffin/King/Wexler standard, "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Man" was better off left to Aretha Franklin. "Farewell," the best song on the album, is modeled a little too closely after its predecessors, "You Wear It Well" and "Maggie May," Stewart’s two biggest hits. Whereas "Maggie May" featured a mandolin and "You Wear It Well" featured a violin, "Farewell" has both plus an arrangement almost identical to the earlier tunes. Despite this, the song is very good; particularly the acoustic guitar work by co-author Martin Quittenton (who also helped write "You Wear It Well"). The lyrics concern another familiar, theme; that of someone leaving home to become a star. Nice going, Rod. Expect to hear it a lot on the radio, and note especially the way Stewart pronounces the words "down" and "town." The two new songs written for Stewart by his friends are good, but not great. "Mine For Me" is one of McCartney's schmaltzier love songs, but is perfectly suited to Rod's vocal style. The instrumentation on this cut includes a steel drum band, giving it a slightly different feel from the rest of the album. "Let Me Be Your Car," by Elton John and Bernie Taupin is a flat-out rocker with bizzare lyrics and a very annoying brass section. The bitch himself plays piano and helps Stewart sing on this one. Rod Stewart made his solo career what it is now by exhibiting a unique talent, recording creative albums such as Gasoline Alley and Every Picture Tells A Story, and since then he has been on a slow downward spiral. This album does not deviate from that path, for Stewart seems more concerned with being a star than a musician. Of course, if you're a real fan, you'll probably buy the album just for the big color picture of Rod on the sleeve. He still looks the same. —John Duncan " / Friday, 25 October 1974 . The Spectrum . Page thirteen �Century Theater Renovated theater brings newline-up of attractions by Richard Diatlo Spectrum Staff Writer An old theater is reopening with a new lineup of rock concerts, theater, ballet, opera, the Buffalo Philharmonic and a Saturday morning Day Care Center. Its familiar name is the Century Theater. Located at 511 Main Street in downtown Buffalo, the Century has been undergoing renovation since it was bought two months ago by Harvey and Corkey Productions. Maintenance crews have been refurbishing the interior, replating brass railings, repainting lounge areas and restoring much of the original architecture in preparation for the October 18 reopening. New stage curtains have been added and overall scenic design is being handled by Jules Fisher, who designed the sets of Pippin and Jesus Christ Superstar. Dancing on chairs 'This structure will allow the audience to get into the music. If people want to get on their chairs and dance, then we'll let them," said Harvey Weinstein of Harvey and Corkey Productions. He criticized Kleinhans Music Hall for being too strict with its audiences. "We'll treat the people like adults, not children," he announced. Mr. Weinstein conceives the new Century Theater as "the Fillmore East of Buffalo." Promising that rock and roll concerts Will not be its only function, he said he has made arrangements with the Buffalo Opera Company, ballet groups and the touring company of Pippin to perform at the Century. He also discussed the possibility of a Saturday morning day care center which would benefit both businessmen and shoppers. Not only would it help bring more business into the area, but it would provide children with a "more meaningful entertainment on Saturday mornings." A childrens' reportery theater group, as well as a staff of doctors, nurses and trained personnel, would be present. Parking discounts Mr. Weinstein is working on parking lot discounts for concert ticket holders. The lots will be patrolled by the police, but the Century Theater's own security patrol will be responsible for the theater itself. Opened on October 17, 1921, by Marcus Lowe of Lowes Theaters, the Century was a great mecca for films. On opening day, Mr. Lowe hired 25 touring cars and brought actress Norma Talmadge to parade down Main Street. Seating capacity was 3000 in those days but the installation of new projection rooms several years ago reduced the capacity to 2600. Future performances will include Van Morrison appearing on October 30th. Mr. Weinstein said there is a good possibility that a benefit concert will be held for Ramsey Clark, starring Harry Chapin, Mary Travers and others.

Prodigal Sun �I Our Weekly Reader Discriminations by Dwight (Viking Press, $15,00) Macdonald Monday of last week and Monday of next week are both national holidays. Everyone knows that a day off's a day off, after all. Yesterday, too, was a holiday but it came and went largely uncelebrated. Yesterday according to my calendar was "United Nations Day." I guess no one could really drum up enough interest to celebrate, or even to notice it. Back in 1946, when so many people were obsessed with the UN's possible future influences, Dwight Macdonald - — — - is the normal mistake; (" 'MacDonald' 'McDonald' takes real talent") wrote, "... I cannot see that the UN is either a hope or a menace; just a bore." Judging from the lack of interest in UN Day and the UN's general inefficacy in doing anything except producing lovely postcards and stamps, and mucking up the Poesque Halloween spirit with UNICEF it looks like he was right about the UN. It - — is a bore indeed. Discriminations, the latest book collecting Macdonald's essays, is never boring. It deals with a spectrum of political and cultural subjects in a way that is "judiciously, discriminatingly ruthless" (as he once described another, younger critic). The essays cover everyone from Norman Thomas to Norman Cousins to Norman Mailer, Mary McCarthy to Mary Poppins and were written during the years 1938-74. "Great ideas," wrote Macdonald in 1969, "can only be expressed in a great style. There is no such thing as a clear message delivered in a confused style; the message is the style and the style is the message. Selah!" Style is his major focus as he approaches concepts as functions of — — style. His parody of Time magazine's early style" pretentious, inverted sentences is particularly amusing: "house — — Celebrated last month by potent newsmag Time, its fifteenth birthday.

Each of the 50 or so essays in Discriminations is either short or short-short, and each can be read as a in fact, that's how they separate entity were originally published, appearing in for the American business community: to give the news an upper-class slant without appearing to violate the creed of "Iobjectivityor "Let's stick to the facts/' which that class holds so dear. No one is more adept at this delicate maneuver than kinetic, bush-browed, twice-wed Henry Robinson Luce, founder and boss of Time, Life, Fortune. And no more striking evidence of his talent is there than Vol. 1, No. 1 of Time, The Weekly Newsmagazine Macdonald adds, prose, one puts in 'of — him. He has built a consistent way of viewing the worlds that transcends any "second thoughts" he may have. Through the personality he forms in his writing, he becomes a colleague or friend to whom an intellectual (or "intellectual") can turn for another opinion. Macdonald's writing is so clear and brilliant that one always knows what he is saying and just where, if anywhere, one disagrees. In his writing career, he has set about exploring the ideas and achievements of others by developing the basis for his own preferences that is, his taste. Taste, in fact, is the first word in talking about Dwight Macdonald . . and the last word in Discriminations no accident. I'll wager. — — . to distinguish meaning: accurately. What he's really doing is forcing us to read past the title to get a clear idea of what actually is the controlling principle of his writing. The dustjacket features Macdonald wearing a "McCarthy" button, but you've got to look past that — — button to determine whether it refers to Joe ("the Bad") or Gene ("the Good"). Context to know Macdonald's work is — to know whose button he's sporting is extremely important. Most of the essays in — Discriminations are written around quotes from participants in the event (or the writer of the book) he is discussing. A setting is created to enhance the impact of pointing — Overshadowing the significance of his three years the very similar "March of Time" parody in Citizen Kane. Macdonald's own style involves using commonplace words or concepts to surprise us by reminding us of old associations we had forgotten and to perceive intriguing suggestions we had never noticed. The book's title, for instance, brings to mind the notion of "social injustice," but Macdonald points out he's using the word according to its primary and, nowadays, often forgotten by feeling opinions on specific issues is the sense he gives of himself as an intelligent, shrewd, and witty observer of subjects that interest is especially fascinating, anticipating as it does by a good quotations strong sociologese. This the of continuity is established; Macdonald actually cares about what he has written in the past and its relationship in time to what he is currently thinking on a particular topic. Some of the essays deal with frivolous subjects, and some make extremely important statements on crucial issues: "Our Invisible Poor" is an example of the latter, dealing with a segment of the a population that is horribly mistreated segment including, significantly, old people on fixed incomes. It should be a required part of sociology texts, replacing misleading charts and unreadable A out with remarkable acuity just what it is about the best ideas that makes them so good, or, if the person quoted is especially wrongheaded, showing just where that person went astray. George Orwell wrote, "Of course, it is obvious now that the Macdonald has had a long career "in the public eye." In recent years as the essay in Discriminations called "Massachusetts — such places as The New Yorker, Partisan Review, Esquire, Dissent, and The New York Review of Books. Still, I wouldn't advise reading the book that way. Instead, begin with page 1 (actually, i) and continue through page 466, as the book is set out (page 371, which begins a piece called "The Absent-Minded Professor," is, absent-mindedly and unsystematically, left unnumbered. But let that pass it doesn't pay to flog a production department, really). Macdonald as carefully sets his own — context with forewords, updating footnotes, and appendices as he does the quotations pieces in — afterwards, — from other sources within his individual essays vs. Mailer" points out he was a witness at Norman Mailer's famous "drunk and disorderly" trial (admittedly, the judge — testimony "irrelevant"). ruled his Macdonald was personally involved in "The Columbia Student Strike of 1968" as another essay shows, and he was very active in supporting Dr. Spock and the draft resisters. As Macdonald recalls, "I got there late, couldn't find Dave (McReynolds) or anybody in charge and was lost hopelessly in the crowd. I even failed to get arrested as usual." On one occasion he was even insulted at the White House be Charlton Heston and Ralph Ellison. Macdonald says: — —continued on page 16— BAILEY W.

Unless they appear regularly on or distinguish themselves in other fields, critics rarely achieve mass fame. A final self-reflexive note in this vein: doing an article of criticism on articles of criticism on books that offer criticism of political events and, occasionally, of other television, 'Naked Lunch', continuum with important contacts before and after it. Think of it as step number 439 in a series of a thousand you have marched off during a walk. Here, the walk is Burroughs' vision of the human condition. No one stopping place, skip, or jump is more important than any other. You may relish or disapprove of them separately, in conjunction with others, or as a whole. Again, the burden lies within the viewer to draw from or project into the piece whatever he finds relevant or engaging. For this reason, my personal opinions on any moral questions the piece might raise are irrelevant. How and where I plugged my own realities into Burroughs' realities are of little consequence here, as I need not trouble you here with my own kinkiness. The most striking aspect of the show was the energy and pure joy evinced by the actors during their task. The Chicago Project/New York, a theater ensemble whose members have been together for five years, showed an amazing cohesion while performing a pliece that is, essentially, a series of disjunctive segments.

He started playing "Three Blind Mice," which went into a rousing rendition of "Don't You Worry 'Bouth A Thing," into a drum solo, into "You Ain't Done Nothing," then "Living For The City," "Sunshine of My Life," and "Superstition."

To return to Citizen Kane, one feels a bit like Welles, in that scene near the end, as he walks past the mirror of mirrors. Perhaps this has occurred to Dwight Macdonald from time to time. But when the subject criticized and the criticism itself is as good as are the essays in Discriminations, then the relationship is not so much parasitic, really, as symbiotic. -Jay Boyar —continued from page 10— .. intensity The tight-knit quality of the ensemble is best illustrated by the final series of incidents, entitled Benway. Benway is the name of a doctor whose profession is the systematic demoralization of the populations of, first, Annexia, and then Freeland. The greater portion of Benway is a dialogue dominated by the doctor, in which he explains his methods in great detail. Rather than one person's playing Benway, different members of the project drift in and out of the role, sometimes in mid-sentence. This does not in any way break the rhythn of this section, but rather enhances it. The different postures and accents affected by each member work upon the viewer as a variety of wines work upon the palate in a fine meal; each one is in itself superb, yet each is a subordinate experience to the experience as a whole.

And deFunes is just as capable of playing with subtlety and onomatopoetic It's French with English subtitles, first of all. It's about a French businessman, one Pivert, a vehement anti-foreigner (a smoky, air-polluting exhaust pipe is ''typically Belgian" to him) and arch-Catholic. He gets thrown together with an Omar Sharif-ish political figure from some Middle Eastern country, who is being pursued by a clutch of rather inefficient nasties. Our heroes disguise themselves as rabbis in an attempt to escape, only to be mistaken for the great Rabbi Jacob and his secretary, who have just arrived from America.

Tramp a la Francais If Jacques Tati (a.k.a. Mr. Hulot) is France's Keaton unruffled, absurdly logical, quietly at odds with the creations of man then deFunes is its Chaplin. He has none of the Little Fellow's usually soggy sentiment, nor does he relentlessly remain the underdog to enlist audience sympathy, as Chaplin does. But deFunes is still almost equal to the Tramp in the quantity of appeal that he generates. (Since the sense of being manipulated that I feel in Chaplin's work is also absent, deFunes' appeal is perhaps superior to Chaplin's in quality.) — — Gifted rabbi "Rabbi" Jacob is a find in a number of ways, primarily in that it enables us to discover one of the great clowns of our time. His name is Louis deFunes, and he plays the lead role of Pivert in the film. DeFunes looks to be in his 50's, short, balding, a trifle portly.

The plot the “Where people & turns on a string of brilliantly timed comic coincidences.

It is consciously naive; although it possesses a fine actor in deFunes, there is no top-heavy As to the Jewish element of the film, well, being Jewish is no more necessary if one is to enjoy "Rabbi'' Jacob than having prospecting experience is necessary to appreciate The Gold Rush. It's not easy to miss the point when deFunes, as the bogus Rabbi, blesses a cheering crowd with the sign of the cross. This entire aspect of the film is really a continuation of the old comic tradition of placing someone totally Director Oury seems to have kept an on the classics of film comedy.

As the roadies changed equipment, the crowd poured in for the long awaited concert. J. Geils was to appear with Emerson, Lake and Palmer at Summer Fest but cancelled to the disappointment of many people. Now, about seven thousand were here to see them do their thing. Sparklers and fire crackers went off in the audience as the wild and wonderful J. Geils Band came on stage. Going into a rendition of "Southside Shuffle" you could immediately tell they were going to be hot and that is an understatement. They performed every number superbly, playing as if possessed. It was a dream come true. Peter Wolf, lead vocalist, promptly went into the antics for which he is well known. Just about the most versatile performer around, his fast foot work, calisthenics, and jack-knife acrobatics were a sight to behold. This is what I call an entertainer. - Top form Actually, the entire band was in fine form. Stephen Jo Bladd thundered on the drums, giving a foundation tempo while Magic Dick contentedly blew his top on the mouth harp. Daniel Klein just stood pretty in his pink suitcoat but contributed some really heavy bass riffs. Seth Justman fanatically played the keyboards and looked like the Phantom of the Opera with his 360 degree runs on the synthesizer. And lastly J. Geils. The epitome of virility, his suggestive stances while playing electric guitar added dynamism to the atmosphere. The air grew dense as the crowd became ecstatic with the fantastic vibes. Monster numbers such as "Looking For A Love," "Hard Drivin' Man," and "Give It To Me" sent everyone on one gigantic high. It seemed like it would never end. As far as I'm concerned it never will. They were just too much. Perfect to get a glow on. The J. Geils Band —Susan Wos sure knows how to score. Exhibition Debate by the ... The “pilot” lesson is yours FREE.

A rare performance by a rare performer. In his "annual shuffle off to Buffalo," Canadian folk singer/songwriter Gordon Lightfoot provided a down-home mellow atmosphere for last Friday night's Kleinhans Music Hall audience. His repertoire consisted mostly of folk songs written by himself, old standards such as 'Tennessee Stud" and bits of country-style humor and personal stories. As far as his music went. Lightfoot was relaxed and ready. His singing and guitar playing were as sharp as on any of his albums and had to have come as close to studio quality in a live performance as I have ever heard. All the old Lightfoot favorites such as "If You Could Read My Mind," "Sundown," and These little humorisims seemed show that he wanted more out of his concert than just getting in front of an audience and singing his songs for them. He seemed to want a diversion from standing on stage, singing, leaving and doing the same thing somewhere else night after night. The impression was left at least with me that Gordon wanted the people to take home more than a memory of a "live" performance of a famous singer. He wanted the audience to know a little bit of the "real" Gordon Lightfoot. His satiristic and easy-going mood permeated the concert. Besides his talks between songs his facial expressions during the songs maintained this mood. He was relaxed and was obviously trying to enjoy the evening as much as the audience. to — — "Beautiful" were among the most well received tunes. He also introduced some new material from his upcoming album as well as doing a little of his lesser known stuff. Humorist? Four numbers into the concert, Gordon Lightfoot began to "personalize" his performance by informing the audience that he felt "lower than quail shit in a wagon rut" and "rougher than a bear turd rolled in fish hooks." Although these quaint humorisms provided amusement for the crowd, he apparently meant it. Even so, it did not affect his performance. Prodigal Sun Divorce country style After joking about a new song he supposedly was working on entitled "Your Tits Turn Me On More Than Any Udder'' (mixed groans and chuckles), he showed a little of his more serious side. He sang a sad song about his recent divorce called "Divorce Country Style" and followed that with a solo on the piano which he wrote for his daughter Ingrid and named after her. Lightfoot's madrigal on a love affair he once had with a Playboy Bunny he met on a flight from New York to London was also a departure from his otherwise humorous tendency. In retrospect, those of who were ready for a mellow, warm evening of Gordon Lightfoot last Friday, got everything hoped for and more. —David Rivet — Tickets $3.50 — 1 — —~ f“ - “i GOOD FOOD RESTAURANT Hong Kong Chicken with vegetable.

He went into a story of how when he was in Tasmania, he wanted to see if Tasmanian Devils really existed and were not "just characters on a Bugs Bunny cartoon." He was shown one in a cage and claimed that they make a noise (which he attempted to imitate) when their cage is kicked. During his encore a member of the audience again imitated a spiel from the folk singer. This time some guy placed a bar of "Lightfoot" soap on the stage during Gordon's first encore song, "Children of Today." Midway through the first verse he stopped and picked up the soap, showed it to his lead guitarist, Terry Clemmens, and bass guitarist. Rich Hanes, (who were his only backups by the way) and said, "I know we've been on the road for a few days, He shook his head, put the soap down and but . . continued the song as though nothing had happened. —* Livingston Taylor Annual concert Lightfoot sings those down home, mellow folky tunes — chud 12th—IPJI.

The United Nations recently voted by a 105-4 margin to recognize the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) as the official voice of the Palestinian people. While recognizing the plight of the Palestinians and the necessity for international cooperation in finding a solution, we are appalled that the PLO has been given this status. This organization has sanctioned and condoned murder and terrorism in Khartoum, Athens, Munich, Maalot, and other places around the world. Their avowed aim is the complete annihilation of the State of Israel. This is in direct contradiction to the U.N. Charter as well as an ethical and moral outrage. We urge all concerned individuals to write letters to the President, the Secretary of State, and the American Ambassador to the U.N. commending the integrity shown by the United States’ vote against the PLO’s recognition. Letters should also be sent to the President of the General Assembly condemning the United Nations’ action. We also urge everyone to join us in a public demonstration on November 4, the first day of the U.N. debate, protesting the PLO’s presence there. More information can be obtained at our table in the center lounge of the Norton Union. The Ad-Hoc Committee Against Terrorism But seriously . . . by Spaiky AJzamora By the time you read this, I will have quit smoking cigarettes again. That’s right, old Phillip Morris Jr. is going on the proverbial wagon for the 365th time over a four-year nicotine span. 1 figure 1 quite once every four days. I hate myself. 1 hate myself because I’m such a chicken shit quitter (CSQ). We CSQs are forever telling ourselves that today is the day to kick the habit. We’re a determined lot until we pass by the candy counter. And then it’s always “A pack of so and so, please.” CSQs have the will power of a maggot just call me maggot brain. People who never took up the habit don’t know what it’s like to quit. It’s easy for them to say “Why don’t you just quit” and we CSQs respond, “Take it up for a year, asshole, and you’ll see how easy it is.” We’re a vindictive bunch. But then again, we’ve got more guts than those hard-line smokers you might have seen in advertisements for Vantage cigarettes. It’s usually a full-page ad, with some attractive model lounging in a swivel chair proclaiming “Sure, 1 read what they say in the papers linking cigarette smoking to lung cancer, emphysema, bronchitis, and bad breath, but heck, I enjoy smoking too much to give it up. Besides, by the time I get cancer, they’ll have a cure for it.” It’s frustrating because I almost believe it. But I’ve managed to retain some intelligence in my rapidly deteriorating maggot brain. That is, cigarettes are pretty bad for your health. And your wallet too. I’ve spent close to half a grand buying Newports. I could have used that money for opera lessons. (I’m a fantastic baritone.) Or an air-conditioner. Or a whole wardrobe of tacky clothes. Five hundred dollars gone, burnt right down to the filters. I hate myself. Okay, I know it’s a waste of money. Sure I could have bought a revolver for a few bucks and shot my lungs out. It’s the same thing, right? No, no, no. 1 ain’t dead yet. CSQs obviously cannot quit by themselves. We need the TLC, the patience, the understanding, the punches of our loved ones. 1 don’t mean they have to get obnoxious. Promise the CSQs rewards for quitting. Right now I’ll quit forever if you raise $1000. CSQs have a price, CSQs can be bribed. The U.S. Government should help too. They ought to hire the top insurance agents in the country and send them out to the tobacco fields in Louisville. If that theory about talking to plants works, those fields could be barren in less than 24 hours. Insurance men would be national heroes. If that idea seems too extreme, the Government could soak all the match heads in the nation with lighter fluid. Once that baby hits the flint, poof! No eyebrows. We’d be the most ridiculous looking citizens of any country in the Western Hemisphere. (There’s got to be creepier looking people on the other side.) I don’t know about you, but 1 value my eyebrows and I’d quit smoking, if there was a chance of losing them. Lungs can be replaced; but eyebrows were meant to last a lifetime. Thirdly (and I endorse this method with great reservations), the boys in Washington could initiate a national “gross-out” campaign. CSQs hate being reminded of cancer victims who breathe through flaps in their throats and take in liquids through the ear. Each cigarette package, box and carton would display pictures of these unfortunates and I bet sales would drop in no time. Imagine the scene, Mr. Suave: “Would you care for a cigarette, my dear.” “All right, Mister... say, what’s that on your cigarette pack?” “It looks like a man missing his lower jaw .. Bleh.” “Take a hike, jerk.” If nothing else, it’ll discourage foreplay. - . Buffalo Law School, active in Prisoners’ Rights, recently received a letter from Margaret Gatling, a prisoner at Bedford Hills, which described a startling series of events, culminating in the first uprising in a women’s prison in sixteen years. the State University at This is a cry of help from one of the oppressed women confined here at Bedford Hills Camp. But especially for the 43 women that were involved in the disturbance that took place here on Thursday, August 29, 1974. We have been denied access to the news media. Therefore, the true events that led to the disturbance have not been revealed. On Wednesday, August 28, 1974, at approximately 10:40 p.m., five male guards used brute force (i.e. handcuffs, belts, feet, fists and discussed using tear gas) to remove one woman from her cell. This scene was witnessed by some 28 women living in building no. 112 on D corridor. The woman, Carol Crooks’ screams and pleas for them not to hit her anymore could be heard all over the campus. This was not the first time that the same woman has been subjected to the Superintendent Janice Warren and her regime’s brutal tactics. This same woman has endured this same type of abuse several times in the past. Naturally being women, it affected everyone of us. even We requested to speak with someone that night, to no avail. On Thursday, August 29, 1974, we again requested to speak with Janice Warren. She refused, but did agree to speak with two spokeswomen. I was one of the women. The meeting lasted from 12:45 p.m. until 2:25 p.m. We left her office more perplexed than we were when we entered. Once again, we pleaded with Mrs. Warren to go up and speak with the women. She refused and dismissed us saying, “She had a Salvation Army meeting to attend, and already she him waiting too long!” Imagine, a that has sworn to protect us at all costs woman thinks more of a meeting than the women in her had kept charge Then and only then did the disturbance come about. It was not one of violence, but one for recognition from the public as to the cruel and unhuman treatment that we are subjected to. Several of the women involved in the disturbance, including myself, were severely beaten by the male guards. We have yet to receive proper medical treatment. One kid 19 years old who suffers from asthma and bleeding ulcers started throwing up blood one night. For seven days we were not allowed to bathe, our food was shoved under the locked gates to us, leaving them to sleep on bare, filthy floors. Does not the Constitution of the United States apply to us? Was it not the security of the institution that was supposedly threatened because of the disturbance? Then is it justice that the Deputy Superintendent of Security, Francis Clement, render punishment on us? Some of the very same officers involved in the disturbance are constantly assigned to Segregation to further intimidate and harrass us. But we are not supposed to say anything? The punishment that Ms. Clement is rendering is far harsher than any I have encountered within the Judicial System. We want to take this into Court, but lack the legal knowledge. As of yet, only one attorney has come forward to assist us. If yon need further information, please feel free to contact him: Steven Lattimer, 579 Courtlandt Ave., Bronx, N.Y. No. 993-6250. Any assistance that you might render in our plight to obtain justice will be deeply appreciated. Respectfully awaiting a reply of acknowledgement Peace in our generation To the Editor. In recent weeks, the members of the University have been subjected to a barrage of propaganda from the proponents of the Day Care Center (who are, we are supposed to believe, in the majority at this educational playground). The University, we are told, has a responsibility to provide funds for the continuation of the Day Care Center. In this society, the usual reason for responsibility in raising children is paternity. Thus, it must be obvious that the State University at Buffalo is the father of these little tykes (a fact previously hidden, due to the vast expense incurred in handing out 25,000 every couple months). Since Daddy SUNYAB is too busy to look after the little devils by himself, I propose that, rather than keep them, he should sell them, or auction them off to the highest bidder. The money thus garnered can be used to buy other, older children, who can take care of themselves and will not require the Day Care Center. In this way we can solve the problem to everyone’s satisfaction, and achieve peace in our generation. Patrick Quinlivan Bring football back To the Editor. 1 believe that it’s about time that we all stop kidding around and get a decent athletic program around here. I am one student who is dissatisfied at the skimpy program already existing, which seems to be blundering downward. Nobody around here cares, and that’s what eats my “derriere.” I believe that we should have a well-balanced program of varsity sports, which should include a varsity football team. I think that a football team is the thing we need I.D. around here to get the boat back on top of the water. All top colleges and universities have both academic and athletic programs to attract the attention to it. We don’t, and I think that we all should do something now! I for one have a strong desire to play, if we had a football team. So just take a time out and think of what you’re missing in your college career. I believe that if a team could get back, it could do a lot to bring back our entire program of sports, and would generate community interest. Patrick LaPiano fiasco To the Editor. At last, my smiling countenance is linked to the University student 243803. 1, at long last, have an I.D. card! The cheap piece of plasticized paper with my sealed photograph is, however, hardly worth the sequence of events necessary to get an identity. First was the long line, over sixty students long, and I timed the process at only about one student per minute. You do the math. I refused to wait and came back on Thursday night. There was no line, but when 1 returned a week later (I tried inane coming back earlier but was told 1 had to wait at least a week) there was no record of me ever having a photograph made. 1 was immediately given a “retake.” Excellent, I thought, the system is slow but rectifies its mistakes quickly. Wrong, I discovered. When I returned at the appointed hour to pick up my “retake,” it was not ready and 1 was forced to do without an identity for another weekend. Others have suffered worse fates. There must be some way of expediting the process of linking students to faces. Either the University should 1) be aware of the number of cards required and delegate enough personnel to handle the process so that a minimum amount of time is wasted or 2) upon entering the university a student should be issued a permanent identification card which is indelibly validated each term he or she is registered.

Controversy began on August 29, when 50 inmates demonstrated in support of another inmate, Carol Crooks, who allegedly assaulted four guards in February of 1974 after her repeated requests for medication for an illness were ignored. Several correction officers allegedly gassed and beat Ms. Crooks, dragged her around the prison grounds, and then put her in solitary confinement. Disabling injuries Because of her injuries, Ms. Crooks was unable to conduct daily activities like showering. She was given no medical assistance, and was convicted and sentenced to seven to 25 years. On August 29, Ms. Crooks was accused of striking another inmate and was ordered to report to prison authorities regarding the scuffle. (A third inmate later admitted to the assault.) Since her conviction appeal was pending, Ms. Crooks attorney had advised her not to speak to officials unless he was present. She complied with his advice and refused to see the prison authorities. When they summoned her she told them that if they wished to see her, they should come to her cell where witnesses would be present. That evening, after the inmates had been locked in for the evening, several male guards allegedly beat Ms. Crooks until she was unconscious and then removed her from her cell. (Male guards, incidentally, are only used when there are “dire emergencies,” according to Janice Warren, superintendent at Bedford Hills.) State control Brute force Proposals on coastal zones by Thom Kristich Staff Writer Robinson of the Grand island Citizens for Responsible Planning agreed with the basic intent of the bill, but was concerned that it might neglect the Spectrum Local homeowners and representatives of local governmental agencies expressed concern Monday over possible state bureaucratic control of state coastal lands. The group gathered at a public hearing held by the State Senate Conservation Committee in the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library. Sen. Bernard C. Smith (R., Northport) is the author of a bill that would create a 12-member state commission and six regional planning boards to determine the use of the state’s coastal lands and water resources. The 100-page bill defines the coastal zone as the area 1000 yards inland from the waterline and extending to the territorial limit in the Great Lakes and Atlantic marine area. Home rule Sen. Smith urged local communities and towns with waterfront areas to work together to solve their coastal problems. He exphasized that the proposed legislation would not usurp local government rule or constitute a takeover of lands and homes by the state. Local governments with sophisticated zoning plans would continue deciding the bulk of future land and water use. Objections to the bill were voiced by a majority of witnesses appearing before the committee. Jack needs of “John Q. Citizen.” He also was worried about the creation of a bureaucracy, the destruction of “home rule,” and the exclusion of citizens from the planning process. Niagara Falls Mr. Robinson proposed that two citizen-staffed planning boards replace the six proposed by the commission. The role of educating the public would be left to the media, Mr, Robinson said. Assemblyman John Daly (R., Lewiston) said the bill as proposed would affect 40 percent of the land mass of <the city of Niagara Falls and 70 to 75 percent of its economy. Mr. Daly insisted that Niagara Falls have a representative on a regional planning board. He told the committee that the majority of industries in Niagara Falls are located within the 1000-yard region defined in the bill. This would mean that a law proposed for a Long Island district could adversely affect an industry in Niagara Falls. Mr. Daly was certain the bill would result in a time delay and would discourage building in Niagara Falls. He cited 60 acres of land slated for urban development which fall within the 1000-yard range Margaret Gatling, one of the inmates who witnessed the scene, described the incident in a letter to Herman Schwartz, a professor at the State University at Buffalo Law School, and Mark Keren, a third-year law student. “Five male guards used brute force [i.e., handcuffs, belts, feet, fists and even discussed using teargas], she reported. In response to this event, approximately 50 women joined together in protest. The next morning, they assembled in the recreation yard and, in an attempt to attract the attention of the prison officials, began banging sticks and metal objects. Their one demand was to speak to the superintendent with a representative of the media present. The request was denied. Ms. Gatling, one of the spokeswomen for the group, described what happened after one subsequent meeting with the superintendent. “Then, and only then, did the disturbance come about. It was not one of violence, but one for recognition from the public as to the cruel and inhuman treatment we are subjected to. “Several of the women involved in the disturbance, including myself, were severely beaten by male guards. We have yet to receive medical attention,” she continued. Prison authorities deny that any force was used, except in the case of one inmate. Severe ‘punishment’ and would mean a $250 million improvement for the Ms. Gatling also said, “For seven days we were not allowed to bathe, our food was shoved under the locked gates to us. Several of the women’s beds were removed, leaving them to sleep on bare, filthy floors.” Administrative proceedings were initiated the next day, and approximately 30 women were placed in solitary confinement for periods ranging from 30 to 60 days. In addition, many of the women whose “good behavior” had earned them a reduction of their sentence, had as many as eight months of that time added back. Currently, half of the women remain in solitary confinement. Ms. Crooks was transferred to Fishkill, a men’s prison which houses 1 1 city. women Although the uprising at Bedford Hills has passed, the inmates continued their attempts to bring this event, and prison conditions, to the attention of the public. have S.A.

Buffalo was soundly beaten by the Bengals, 15-47, and by the Purple Eagles,-16-43, despite trouncing the Griffins, 19-44. For the Bulls, any chance of upsetting either Niagara or Buffalo State were wiped out even before the starting gun went off. Knee problems have hampered Buffalo captain and top runner Paul Carroll for more than a week and he could not compete. As a team, Buffalo ran well, staying together throughout the race, but they were no match for the powerful Bengals or the Purple Eagles, who had shut them out earlier in the season. Freshman Kevin Lynch continued his string of strong performances with an eleventh place finish, the best by any Bull harrier. However, all the post-race talk revolved around Buffalo State Freshman Gary Lantinen. Lantinen breezed through the race, winning by a comfortable margin. With the expected organization of Buffalo State, Niagara, Buffalo and Canisius, into an athletic conference, this annual meet will be taking on increased importance in years to come. Coach Jim McDonough speculated that there might even be a trophy associated with it in the future. He and the other coaches have tentatively agreed to establish Delaware Park as the permanent site for the race instead of rotating it from school to school each year as has been done in the past. McDonough had no comments after the race. The Bulls ran and finished as expected. However, the Buffalo coach did use this race as an opportunity to look ahead, noting, “It’s a good tune-up for the Canisius Invitational.” The Bulls will be running in this annual event along with about twenty other schools, mostly from the northeast and midwest United States. Buffalo hopes to improve on last year’s 18th place finish out of 21 teams. The Bulls’ chances for improvement at the Canisius Invitational still hinge on the condition of Paul Carroll’s knee. Carroll tried working out yesterday and is expected to run on Saturday.

For the first time in my career, Buffalo’s Athletic Department started the year with an activated budget. For the past three years, no budget was passed until November. Revisions were not only acceptable but demanded, despite the fact that the fiscal period in question had already begun and expenses were being incurred. All three years the Athletic Department proclaimed extreme disappointment and dismay. Last year, it even threatened to close up the shop and go home. This year the department has seen fit to alter active lines something it finally had after years of struggle. In fact, it claims that it was not aware of which set of proposed budget lines had been passed. Athletic Director Harry Fritz has said he received only a total figure from the SA, which is highly unlikely. What is more likely is that he only chose to look at the total figure. Then (and this must be starting to sound like a broken record) he considered it his professional perrogative to adjust the individual lines as he saw fit. One of the problems here is a lack of effective communir' ion r odents between the student powers and the Athletic Department. get ignores the either doesn’t or them, department send memos and them. The department decides to join an athletic conference without bothering to tell the student officials. Somehow the department makes starting with the wrong budget. revisions Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the Student Association does not have the official, a review board chairman, whose job it would be to prevent this shit It seems possible that the whole scandal over line transfers out of intramurals and recreation and into the making up of a deficit (it should be noted that two intercollegiates, mens’ basketball and fencing, actually received increases from the Executive committee’s past figures), could have been avoided if the department had simply, as SA Student Affairs coordinator Howard Schapiro suggested, kept the lines the same and added the money that the administration was to substitute to the income line of the total budget. On the other hand, if this substitution of funds argument does not account for all the cuts made, the department would then have been in the same trouble with less defense. However, Dr. Fritz told me several weeks ago, that the funds that had been taken away from the “bubble” would remain in intramurals and recreation. That statement now appears inoperative. The Student Association, through its leadership, has challenged the Athletic Department on the issue of control. It is the students who now have threatened to close up shop. The one person most responsible is Schapiro, who was determined from the start that intramurals and recreation get all it possibly could. Schapiro’s views on the budget situation tend to be one-sided and superficial, but he is to be applauded for defending to the end the very popular intramural program. Now the ball goes back to the department. Us reaction is predictable. The question is how far will the student leaders carry this noble crusade, and will they be big enough to have the program, and not their collective pride, at heart. This is not to say that they would be wrong categorically to freeze the funds, but such an act is a drastic one and is only justified by drastic circumstances. Actually, if the students could get their act together, determine larger policy questions, and have them followed by Fritz and his people, the need for watching budget lines like a hawk would disappear. All relatively unimportant issues like this, and it really is a minor thing, would take care of themselves. But only if the students had input into scheduling, level of competition, and otherjjriority item questions. Oh wait, I can hear Fritz now. “Those things are a matter of professional perogative.” MOD STYLES FOR GUYS & GALS! Gat the real goods at discount pricas. Air forca parkas, field jackets.

BankAmw. — 853 1515 1 “TENT CITY" 730 Main, at Tupper VtHr. free parking Foreman-Ali Greatest heavyweight bout Next Tuesday night the eyes of the sporting world will be on Kinshasa, Zaire, formerly Leopoldville, Congo, and the long awaited world heavyweight championship fight between George Foreman and Muhammad Ali. The eyes of the promoters, a firm named Video Techniques Inc., will be on boxoffices from New York to Los Angeles, and from Miami to Toronto. While George and Muhammed try to destroy each other, Video Techniques must destroy the record gross of 20 million dollars set by the Ali-Frazier extravaganza several years ago. The fight is billed as the greatest heavyweight championship bout of all time, though some historic couplets like Dempsey-Firpo and Louis- Schmelling may disagree. What it is, without dispute, is the most expensive sports event ever. Each fighter will receive a fast five million for his efforts, though they can expect to make a sizeable contribution to Zaire’s national treasury before they are allowed to leave. Poor George, who is being sued by his ex-wife for a whole lot of money, may come out of the thing with a mere several hundred thousand, still a far cry from his old Job Core days in Detroit. $80 cars Though it is true that two black men will beat each other up so that a lot of white people can enjoy the spectacle, all racial analyses pale in the light of what the consumers are being charged for this. In New York, theaters seats are going for $20 while drive-ins have established and $80 minimum per car. The famous Waldorf Hotel will show the fight and provide unlimited drinks for a mere $45. Most Buffalo locations seem to be selling seats $15 at a piece, while the Niagara Falls Convention Center goes from $10 to $20. In order for an American to see the bout in person would have meant a $2,700 trip that includes two nights in Zurich and two nights in Rome before the morning in Kinshasa. Oh yes, the fight will start, very conveniently, at 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, which will be the next morning in Zaire. And for all this, the fight takes place during Zaire’s rainy season, after a month long postponement due to a cut over Foreman’s eye. Despite the fact that Ali claims there was not cut, that it was just Foreman’s way of getting more training time, it probably won’t take long for Ali to try to reopen that cut. If, of course, he gets a chance. Foreman is stronger than your average ox and an aging Ali will have his hands full wigh him. For the first time since the first Liston fight, Ali is a decided underdog. There is a great sense of loss surrounding this bout. Loss of the sport for the average guy who is being priced out of the market. But there is a deeper, more emotional loss as well. According to prefight win or announcements, this will be Ali’s last fight lose. - End of an era Love him or hate him, this represents the end of an era, one that boxing may never replace. Foreman, as good as he is, is a dull boxer. The best young boxer, Teophilo Stevenson, refuses to leave his native Cuba or turn pro. Today’s young adults were raised on Ali. Starting with a brash young Kentuckian named Clay, to a proud Muslim champion, we then saw him into the political years when he lost his first fight ever to a Houston draft board. Finally we saw, and still see, an Ali exonerated by the courts, but just not his former self. If not for losing those years, he might have been the best champion ever. The excitement, controversy, and levity that he brought to a dying sport will be sorely missed. Friday, 25 October 1974 . The Spectum . Page twenty-five �CLASSIFIED Shoppe. AD INFORMATION 874-0120.

At a news conference in the Cordon Bleu Restaurant in Cheektowaga, before addressing a luncheon of Erie County labor union supporters, Mr. Wilson assailed Representative Hugh Carey, his democratic opponent, for making “irresponsible” promises to hold the line on tuition and work for a tuition rollback. “There’s nothing more cruel than someone making a promise that he cannot fulfill,” the governor said. “Double-digit inflation” is milking many taxpayers, he asserted, and noone could predict what the economic stituation would be in a year or two. Ruling out free tuition, Mr. Wilson said the loss of $150 million in revenue would imbalance the state budget and require increased taxation in other areas. No student vote Mr. Wilson discussed educational issues at a special meeting with student government representatives and student journalists from the State University at Buffalo, immediately prior to his appearance before the regular press corps. The Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), which he signed into law this year, will “help young people get eduaction, both in the public and private sector and move us back to freedom of choice,” the governor said. Discussing student representation at the state-wide level, Mr. Wilson said he opposed placing one voting student on the SUNY Board of Trustees and one on each of the local College Councils. Students are much happier when the administration is in control, Mr. Wilson said, recounting how increased student involvement in the governance of Fordham University during the 1940’s had “almost destroyed” the institution. “That’s what happened when the peer pressure of a small militant group was requiring students to go along with them,” he emphasized. “I don’t say things that people like to hear,” Mr. Wilson said half a dozen times, as if sensing that many of his views on education would not be popular with students. The governor went on to say that he would not automatically oppose any legislation aimed at curtailing student mandatory fees. “I would have to see the precise bill, and determine what its broad public effect would be,” Mr. Wilson maintained. He acknowledged that he “did not know enough about mandatory fees.” Asked whether students should be allowed to vote in their school districts, Mr. Wilson replied, “They should vote where their commitment is where they are showing the responsibility. It would be manifestly unfair and improvident to have students vote to decide who will be the mayor [of a city that wasn’t their permanent residence],” he explained. Mr. Wilson blamed his opponent for contributing to inflation by voting for $131 million in deficits. Mr. Carey was engaging in “first degree fakery” when he gave vague and unpractical solutions for unemployment and rising prices, the governor said, pointing to the Brooklyn congressman’s absence from Congress during 11 key labor votes. “He’s like the man who murders his mother and then pleads for clemency because he is an orphan,” Mr. Wilson said of his democratic opponent. — Empty-chair Although he blasted Mr. Carey for having an “empty chair” voting record. Governor Wilson would not take a stance against empty chair voting in the state legislature, which some observers feel has deterred proper representation. Mr. Wilson, who served in the State Assembly for more than 20 years, said, “The [state] Constituion tells the legislature that representation shall be there’s no luxury like telling someone its responsibility to do something you can’t do.” Discussing the Rockefeller confirmation, Governor Wilson said he would not seek an investigation of the more than $500,000 in gifts and loans to William J. Ronan, chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. He said it was “up to Congress” to determine whether there was any impropriety, and that he personally felt his predecessor’s confirmation “would be a great day for the peoples of the free world.” Mr. Wilson indicated that the Vice Presidential designee had contributed $34,000 to the Friends of the Governor Wilson team, a substantially smaller sum than he had first believed. - Soft on crime At the labor luncheon following the press conference, Wilson shared the dais with Ralph J. Caso, his running Mr. mate for Lieutnant Governor, l|S Senator James Buckley, and a score of labor leaders and Republican notables. In a keynote address to 1,000 luncheon guests, the governor accused Mr. Carey of being soft on crime because of his opposition to the death penalty. “I plan to seek the return of the death penalty for felony murders,” Mr Wilson declared. Sharing the sentiments of his running mate, Mr. Case stressed the importance of speedy trials and severity of punishment. “You’re not going to get it with the liberal permissives,” he warned, citing opponent Mary Anr Krupsak’s support for abortion and her opposition to New York’s “tough” new drug law. A democratic victory on election day would let loose the same “democratic wrecking crew which ha; Albany in destroyed New YOrk City,” Mr. Caso added. Human Needs Forum: the need to reorder fiscal priorities by David Haitkin Staff Writer Spectrum A political forum entitled “Human Needs: A National Priority” brought local congressional candidates together Saturday to discuss their stances on reordering federal spending from defense to human services. Congressional opponents Jack Kemp and Barbara Wicks from the 38th Congressional District, Joseph Bala, Henry Nowak and Ira Liebowitz from the 37th and John LaFalce from the 36th, discussed the national health insurance, guaranteed national incomes and defense budget cuts. Twenty-seven local community organizations, including CAC, the Civil Liberties Union and the Western New York Peace Center sponsored the event. Barbara Jean Williams, executive director of the Coalition for Human Needs and Budget Priorities, and Edward King, executive director of the Coalition on National Priorities and Military Policy, provided background on what’s being done about budget priorities on a national scale. issues and questions Participants from the various organizations then broke up into workshops where issues were discussed and questions were prepared for the candidates. Fighting inflation and restoring an “economy in which human needs can be met” should be the primary focus of governmental responsibility. Congressman Kemp said. He explained that he could not support anything more than a “catastrophic” health insurance plan, and did not favor a program similar to that of Great Britain. As far as a solution to the nation’s poverty program is concerned, he said, a guaranteed national income was “not one of ’em.” Mr. Nowak said he “more than supports” the comprehensive program for national health insurance embodied by the Kennedy-Griffiths bill. He also supported the establishment of some kind of super-anti-poverty agency independent of the HEW “to combat the beauracracy” of the agencies now supervising the poverty programs. —continued on page 9— Contenders for the three local Congressional seats spoke last Saturday at the Conference on Human Needs held in the Student Union of Canisius College, The topics included reordering federal budget priorities to emphasize human services and th feasibility of national health insurance.

( ( ,,,, , ,. , Freeze of Athletic Limited contributions policy budget threatened Barbara Keating trails far behind. Mr. Clark recently criticized Sen. Javits for accepting a $15,000 contribution from vice-president-designate Nelson Rockefeller. He has been hampered by his own restrictive contributions policy, which has made it difficult for him to use television extensively. While refusing to use 30-second commercials, because he feels it would be like selling soap, Mr. Clark has approved three five-minute advertisements that focus on crime, integrity in government, and inflation. They will be televised if finances permit. Tireless campaign Mr. Clark, a native of Texas, has campaigned tirelessly throughout the State. His campaign organization is composed largely of former Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern supporters. In seeking the Democratic nomination, he shunned the traditional party route. At the State Democratic convention in June, he was nominated by ex-New York policeman Frank Serpico (who Mr. Clark represented before the Knapp Commission), program that would utilize solar and fusion sources in order to find safe, clean, inexhaustible, and inexpensive energy. He has promised to fight the “oil cartel” if elected. Mr. Clark favors the creation of a Middle East economic community and development authority to attack the problems of transportation, health, water development and hunger, which both the Arab nations and Israel must deal with. General treasury fund Highly critical of the inadequacies of the Social Security System, Mr. Clark proposes that, eventually, at least one third of all Social Security funds come from the general fund of the U.S. Treasury, instead of from the regressive Social Security tax now used. He also supports a revision of the Social Security benefit formula to provide additional pension credits to working wives and low-income working couples. The former Attorney General has also emphasized the need for mass transit facilities. He attributes America’s “second-rate” status in mass transit to the fact that “national transportation policy is controlled largely by those who profit from motor vehicle, oil, and gasoline sales. “Production of public transport equipment is controlled by those least interested in its development,” like General Motors, Mr. Clark maintains. He has called for antitrust action against GM and the dismantling of the Highway Trust Fund. and by a former Attica inmate. Mr. Clark lost the convention endorsement to Syracuse Mayor Lee Alexander, but obtained more Unemployment battle" To combat unemployment, Mr. Clark feels the than enough signatures to be placed on the government must establish a Public federal primary His victory gave September primary ballot. him the opportunity to challenge Javits, one of the Employment Department to provide jobs for at least Republicans’ best vote-getters in the November one million unemployed. High schools should develop “career curriculums,” and special attention election. Following eight years at the Department of must be given to the most severely pressed Justice, where he became a target of much of unemployed groups, such as youths, rural whites, Richard Nixon’s “law and order” rhetoric, Mr. Clark and blacks, he contends. Mr. Clark has stressed that the defense budget is practiced law and was involved in various peace and civil liberties organizations. He represented Father wasteful and consumes “much of our own Philip Berrigan in the Harrisburg trial, and has sought productivity, causes much of our inflation, often protection for political prisoners throughout the risks war, threatens our own safety, appeals to world. He also wrote a book, the highly-respected dangerous fears, and often supplies foreign tyrants means of death and destruction.” Crime in America. He suggests careful monitoring of defense spending, a reduction of $25 billion in the Pentagon Past accomplishments While with the Justice Department, Mr. Clark budget, an end to wasteful programs, and increased opened the first federal halfway house for use of competitive procurement to end profit ex-convicts, closed old prisons, established the first overkills by subcontractors.

Unauthorized cut While the Athletic Department does not appear to have overspent in any particular budget category, Mr. Jackalone reported that there had been a $13,000 cut in the $57,500 alloted to Intramurais and Recreation. This unauthorized slash was made by the Athletic Department to help cover part of the $18,000 they owe in past debts. Because SA considers Intramural and Recreation its foremost priority in Athletic funding, a new set of contractural service lines will be drawn up, stating specifically that the Intramural and Recreation budget remain fully intact at $57,500. In addition, past debts and unexpected income will have to be paid for out of the men and women’s athletic and general administrative budgets. However, if the Athletic Department continues to ignore these service lines, the Executive Committee indicated it will vote to freeze all spending involving men’s, women’s, and intercollegiate sports, with the exception of Intramurais and Recreation and Club Sports. Should the Student Assembly approve such a resolution, the freeze could be imposed early next month. book store 3102 Main St. Literature, Crafts, Poetry, Ecology, Cooking, Film, Fiction and more.

NEW YORK 14622 �Claim attitudes toward Arabs must unprove Voodoo Medicine man:6yr. course by Margaret Dickie Spectrum Staff Writer "It is no longer possible for the United States to look down on its relations with the Arab States because of its dependence on Arab oil,” said the Rev. Joseph L. Ryan, speaking Friday on “Conflicts in the Holy Land” in an appearance sponsored by the Arab Student Club. Father Ryan, a former dean of a Catholic university in Lebanon, has written extensively on the issues in the Middle East and has appeared before a Senate sub-committee that conducted hearings on the question of sacred religious sites in the region. Speaking before about 50 persons, most of whom appeared sympathetic to the Arab cause, Father Ryan divided his lecture into four parts: Change in U.S. politics; ‘The question of the Palestinians;’ ‘The problems of anti-semitism;’ and ‘The U.S. media.’ Tanzanians rely on the traditional healer or medicine man more often than the Western Myths destroyed Believing it is essential for the U.S. to move toward closer relations with the Arab world, Father Ryan said, “The October War destroyed a great deal of myths regarding the relations of the U.S. with the mid-East countries. Before the last war the feelings of most Americans were that we should not get involved there.” But “since the war,” he pointed out, “most people have come to realize that oil from halfway around the world effects the lives of every citizen.” Consequently there has developed an awareness among most people that not only are we presently involved in the mid-East, but we will probably be involved there for a long time to come Father Ryan also stated, “The world financial crisis, the United States balance of payments problems, and the threat to our national security which arose during the past war when the U.S. put its troops on alert, has made U.S. policymakers aware that it is in the national interest to move toward closer and more friendly relations with the Arab world.” psychiatrist for psychotherapy problems, and psycljo-social according to Herbert Rappaport, of clinical professor psychology at Temple University. Dr. Rappaport, who spent two years in Tanzania, in Africa, discussed his experiences in dealing with medicine men and witch doctors at a recent Ridge Lea colloquim. At the time of his visit, there was a “climate of poor trust assistant business with the medicine men (which usually took place outdoors under a tree), friendly natives would often sit down and join in the discussion. The medicine men accepted this “talking by Steven Gaynor Spectrum Staff Writer scientific medicine and traditional healers,” with the government favoring the newer scientific methods.

Treatment procedures Using a slide presentation. Dr. Rappaport explained the procedures of diagnosis and treatment. The scenes he narrated took place near one of the common dried-mud huts, with doctors, Dr. Rappaport explained that witch doctors deal with witchcraft, and are usually despised because of the calamities they allegedly cause with their curse powers, while medicine men, on the other hand, are “benevolent, respected and mildly feared,” and characteristically “powerful and intense men.” the The U.S. had made a “historical and significant shift toward travel down that we and how far war,” October world since the Arab of path will depend upon the leadership of the U.S., the reactions Palestinian and the together, states to act Israel, the ability of the Arab leadership, the clergyman added. the Father Ryan felt that “the Zionist movement and involved a massive the Middle East establishment of a Jewish State in rights of injustice to Palestinians and the denial of their would rights Palestinian the restoration of if Asked self-determination. tell, will said, time “only destroy the Jewish state, Father Ryan she if situation to her way helping could a go long adding that “Israel would endorse the resolution just passed by the U.N. which recognized violated. that the Palestinians are a people with rights that have been of long was a tradition warned that there The Catholic priest anti-semitism in Western churches, and that “we Christians should always be aware of the possibility of a certain unconscious anti-semitic feeling surfacing.” He criticized, however, the tendency of “many Christians and some Jews to label a person anti-semitic simply if he takes a position which is not favorable to Israel.” Describing the U.S. news media as extremely biased towards Israel, Father Ryan said the most basic reason for the “one-sidedness” is a “difference in culture. While half of the Jews in Israel are not Western, Israeli society is Western. The difference between Arab society and Western society has resulted in an imbalanced coverage of the October War.” This Thursday Special "Drink of the Day" THE TIFFIN ROOfTl SCOTCH WATER a spiritual nature those due to sorcery were “split about fifty-fifty,” Dr. Rappaport said.

The Spectrum . Page five �( Editorial Whose money?. The Athletic Department's long-standing practice of paying mere lip service to student preferences regarding athletics may soon come to an abrupt halt, thanks to some responsible action by the Student Association (SA) Executive Cmittee. By unanimously passing a resolution to freeze the intercollegiate budget if the Athletic Department does not adhere to the budget lines set by SA last summer, the student government has made it clear that it will no longer allow the athletic budget to be tossed around like a political football. Typical of Athletic director Harry Fritz's disregard for the general student body is the fact that $13,000 worth of funds have been siphoned away from intramurals and recreation, which benefit all students, and used to pay past debts and supplement the rest of the budget, which includes intercollegiate athletics. Considering the controversy which surrounded the funding of intercollegiate athletics at last year's Student Assembly budget hearings, the Athletic Department's claim that it was given only a lump sum figure to work with instead of a precise, line-by-line budget just won't wash. Several memorandums sent by SA to the Athletic Department over the summer show that the Athletic Department had to have been aware that funds for athletics were earmarked line-by-line for men's and women's varsity teams, intramurals and recreation, and club sports. 'WHERE NOW, JUDOEr My apologies to all those inconvienced by my confusion last week. Monday being a holiday, and the deadline for Wednesday’s The Spectrum , I incorrectly assumed that there would be no paper. I was wrong, obviously. Which mebns that someone probably had to hustle around and find something to put in the hole usually occupied by this mess. Arguments that there is a hole in the specified paper regardless of whether or not I remember to write something will be seriously before being vehemently rejected. seems to have arrived. It took a substantial amount of wacking to break the ice on the birdbath over the weekend. Not to mention the incredible clotch of leaves covering the front lawn. Which certainly bespeaks some kind of seasonal occurance. There was hope to go out to Letch worth for a picnic this last weekend the high on Sunday was 37 degrees, in case you wondered. So Indian summer seems considered . . . Winter ... SA treasurer Sal Napoli, in a memo dated June 5, informed the Athletic Department that "the Executive Committee has affected changes in contractual service lines for the budget." Two months later, Mr. Napoli again wrote to the Athletic Department, stating, "I am sure you have in your possession a copy of the Athletic budget as passed by the Executive Committee of Student Association." Acting President Rich Hochman also corresponded with the department during August, and is on record as saying SA has "no choide but [to] insist that the budget appropriation for Intramurals and Recreation and Club Sports remains intact." The Athletic Department's claim that it did not receive a detailed budgetary breakdown from SA can be construed as an attempt to use ignorance as an excuse for taking control of the budgets. Dr. Fritz is clearly oblivious to the fact that students pay for athletics and should therefore be penny for penny the ones to decide how that money will be spent. The Athletic Department might feel it has "professional expertise" in the area of funding, but its seclusion in Clark Hall has prevented it fronrf'keeping in touch with student priorities. — — Unless Dr. Fritz and company realize that student money cannot be spent at the whim of their department, it will become even more difficult to justify allocating more than one quarter of student fees to intercollegiate sports.

The storm windows are up to seal out the cold, and anxiety T| I |)0 about gas bills is already threatening a variety of small extras in the budget. it is People, my perception, are liable to squirrel themselves away Steese for the winter, as well as food. We are talking about a very fragile phenomena, one that I frequently seem to get snapped at for mentioning. Spiritual hibernation perhaps? Labels are never close to what you are trying to describe, and anyway, I am trying to describe something from within my highly this being all idiosyncratic view of the world any author is ever able to do. Given, then, that 1 am talking about myself. It is perhaps a mild depression as yet unrecognized and defended against, which colors my view. But from this side of winter it looks like a long way to Spring. Every year I mutter and rail about holidays and the “season” in which fesitivity is sought after with suspicious ardor. It occurs to me now that all these parties, from Thanksgiving group dinners to awful cocktail parties may serve a double purpose at this time of year. There may be a paganistic huddling together, a need to be psychologically reminded that there are other people in the world. My ever curious head suddenly wonders about New Year’s Eve. It is liable to be the frenetic, depressive, desperate revel everywhere?

Or perhaps you have no feelings about your gas bill. (Hmmm, an interesting digression. Do you suppose that this subject matter could be making some of the partners in the cooperative venture known as my head anxious?) Anyway, I wonder what it is like to sit on a beach in Southern California on New Year’s Eve and watch a sunset. Might it not leave you in a different place than the crunch of snow - underfoot? I am, in part at least, a conflict freak. When engaged in something that tests me, I have a tendency to feel more alive. Winter can provide such times. Driving on snow is a fun thing if you can get into it as an exercise in precision control. So is putting on long underwear and floundering around in snow up to your butt. At the end of such endeavors, however, it is the classic stonewall problem. Somewhere at the end it feels very good to be able to stop beating on it with your head. Winter is like some of your relatives. There is no way to avoid them so you might as well make do the best way you can. As I look down the long sweep of days to winter, it is basically bleak for me. There are places of warmth and light and pleasure gleaming, like the pockets of coals which shine out at you from the bottom of a still warm fireplace. Overall, it seems clear that I want to curl up in a ball, and with a long fluffy tail cover my nose, and sleep until the vernal equinox, or some such. Ah, but that would not be practical and would not, in fact, get all the done that I am to have completed by Spring. (Now how much depression do you suppose that is good for?) All of which, for me, speaks of a tendency, not a finality. I am talking, for myself, of something 1 might do if not careful, of a propensity to hibernate which I need to watch for and which is in my control to moderate. Maybe some year I will dig me a wonderous fur-lined burrow and some other likeminded winter avoiders, and try semi-hibernating. My suspicion is that it will bore me. Anxiety is a restless taskmaster. Sleep warm. I have to go give the birds an extra ration of seed. Those poor bastards have to live in that awful stuff. Ech!

And in the civil rights battle the blacks produced a great prophet-leader, Martin Luther King. He had to go, too. Always there was a flaw at the center of things. Where did it start? From many causes, of course. One was from living in an unreal world. It was there in the belief that we were always victorious and always righteous. Over generations, a belief grew that Asiatics were a special mission of the United States, as historian Eric Goldman said, under the laws of history. Sen. Kenneth Wherry (R) of Nebraska put it prettily when he told a wildly cheering crowd in 1940, “With God’s help we will lift Shanghai up and up, ever up, until it is just like Kansas City.” Then suddenly we had to change our patronizing vision of Asiatiacs as little, deferential yellow men perpetually smiling, to treacherous, cruel Orientals making part of a meancing Communistic monolith. We had “lost” China; evidently we were betrayed. Joe McCarthy used that charge and Nixon, too. Historian Sam Morison wrote, “McCarthy himself collapsed, but the poisonous suspicion he injected into the body politic will take many years to leach out.” Exactly; hear young congressman Nixon describing the Acheson-Hiss relationship: “Traitors in the high councils of our own government hav made sure that the deck is stacked on the Soviet side of the diplomatic tables.” Respectables like Bob Taft and Gen. Eisenhower encouraged the rising Nixon to denounce “Dean Acheson’s College of Cowardly - Communist Containment.” Tell the public anything; they are children. Mark Twain looked at the period after the Civil War, the era of wealth and expansion, the era of Jay Gould and Jim Fisk and the scandals of Grant, and he came up with a name for it; it wasn’t real gold, he said; it was The Gilded Age. What are we going to call this one? It was so good in so many ways! We saw social improvements and a lift in living standards, and an awakening of conscience about environment and our incredible waste: six percent of world population using a third of its energy. There were the magnificent moments landing on the Moon! Yet at the same time, we could not impose our will on Congress to reform the tax system. Always the surface that might have shone so brightly never seemed to. It was tarnished. In our embarrassment and malaise we couldn’t face things squarely; we had to smudge things. There was the elaborate falsification of the bombing runs in Cambodia, we smudged that; and the CIA in Chile, we smudged that; and the lies former attorney general Richard KJeindienst told the grand jury, we smudged that; and the knavery of the Vice President, we smudged that good. The man LBJ wanted as chief justice left under the cloud of an indiscretion; the men Nixon wanted on the high court, what’s-his-name and you-know-who they were dropped. And then Nixon quit and Jerry fixed it with the best smudge of all: the pardon smudge. Mark Twain knew the trick: you can pillory with a name.

He for a guaranteed income and an anti-poverty super-agency, which he said would only “create a beauracracy for people in need.” Mr. LaFalce also opposed a national health insurance program, but said he supported programs that would provide for some preventive medicine and catastrophic health assistance. The funding of such a program, he suggested, could be done in a more equitable fashion than the present Social Security tax. Ms. Wicks said that she supported the Kennedy-Griffith’s Health Care Bill and explained that money for such coverage could be taken from the military budgets. “Ive had enough” of such actions like the U.S. Involvement in Chile,” she said, claiming that $14,9 billion could be cut from the defense budget “without any loss in security.” “The number one human need flatly rejected proposals — people like Allen Greenspan, “a disciple of Ayn Rand,” should be removed from positions of responsibility.

Conference furthers sports Contributing Editor In a move designed to save money and re-create local interest in college sports, four major Western New York schools (Buffalo, Canisius, Niagara, and Buffalo State) have announced a press conference for October 31 to introduce a new athletic conference. The schools will compete in eight sports for championships (soccer, cross-country, track, golf, tennis, swimming, baseball, and basketball), with league meets determining the majority of the champions. “1 think it’s a good idea. It should have been started long ago,” said Scott Salimando, SA vice-president. “This should start a new priority in athletics,” Salimando continued. “Instead of dropping schools one-by-one, as we have been, we come back to home base. can start all over again We can play local schools, and eventually build to a - broader level.” The general consensus among the four schools is that the conference will give greater meaning to the minor sports, the sports that exist strictly for the students’ participation. “This should add a little spice to our program,” reports Buffalo’s Harry Fritz. “It should give meaning to the scheduling we’ve already had,” Howie MacAdam, athletic director at Buffalo State and the elected ‘commissioner’ of the conference, looks toward equal competition among the schools in all eight sports. More than basketball “We hope desparately that it’s not basketball oriented,” related MacAdam. “Right now, basketball seems to be the poorest organized among the eight sports. We’re looking at it from an all around eight-sport basis. It’s going to give the local schools a chance to compete for championships.” The various athletic directors, while in agreement on the present set-up of the conference, have varying opinions as to its future. Deaniel Starr, athletic director at Canisius, is looking toward future expansion to include all the local schools. “A four team conference is a good beginning,” remarked Starr, “but it’s not enough in and of itself. I’d like to see a six or seven team league.” MacAdam sees it differently. We it think the four are natural,” reports MacAdam. “If it it generate, hope will the interest we develops could possibly expand to include St. Bonaventure though, and a few others. At the presentconcept.” we’re pretty well set with the four school expansion but by Dave Hnath Frank Layden, Niagara’s basketball coach and athletic director, shares Starr’s viewpoint on St. Bona in or out? St. Bonaventure, originally slated to be a member of the infant conference, is conspicuous in its absence from the set-up. “He (Larry Weise, St. Bonaventure’s athletic director) felt they shouldn’t - participate at the time, in a league arrangement,” reports Starr. There is also speculation that St. Bonaventure’s admittance to the conference was conditional to their axranging to play both Buffalo and Buffalo State in basketball, something they’ve been reluctant to do. Layden feels that a conference of this nature could re-create some of the local interest in college sports lost in the professional sport shuffle. “You look at other areas of the country,” observed the Niagara court mentor, “and you see college sports are still going strong. Good examples of this are in' the Southwest and Atlantic Coast conferences. We’re too professional-oriented here, and we’ve got to do something to stimulate local interest.” Media considered “You look in the local newspapers, even on days when the Braves or Sabres don’t play, and you'see other scores and standings reported anyway,” remarked Starr. “A league set-up is almost a natural for the media. 1 would hope it would be highlighted by the media, as well as the students.” One possible avenue of local media recognition has already been undertaken, as the Buffalo Evening News has offered a trophy for the best intra-conference record in basketball, soccer, baseball, and swimming, as well as an all-around sports championship. Though at the present women’s intercollegiate sports are not represented in the set-up, Layden said they would be represented eventually. “It would encourage immediate development of stronger women’s competition if they were granted participation in the conference,” he stated. At present, the women compete among one-another in both volleyball and basketball.

Esposito calls these games “crucial” more in terms of cementing team play than of the level of competition. The team will then go to Stony Brook to play in the SUNY Center Tournament, where the State Universities at Albany, Binghamton, Stony Brook and Buffalo will compete for the Chancellor’s Cup.

It is, in fact, one of the 11 entries in Buffalo’s coed intramural football league. The Boobs, who were tied for the first place in the 3:30 p.m. league, lost a heartbreaker, 6-0, on Friday to MG Production on an interception late in the second half. When the Boobs take the field each Friday, it is doubtful they remember the score of the previous Friday’s game, but they do recall that the hour they spent playing it was full of laughs and fun. Fun is the reason why most people join coed football. Jeff Groob of the Boobs reasoned, “1 played last year and had a lot of fun. I joined last year because I had a desire to do something different and to be with girls.” Kay LeVan, a member of the Boobs’ opponents, looked at it this way; “I wanted to do something besides study. It’s really fun.” California idea The success of the program, which is in its third year at Buffalo, has spurred other schools across the country to start similar coed football programs. Director of Recreation and Intramurals Bill Monkarsh got the idea from a California school at a convention for intramural directors. He figured the coed league would be good vehicle for getting the women involved in sports. The women responded well to the idea, and the league has been operating ever since. The nature of coed football results in a need for some special rules. The teams play six on a side, three men and three women. Since only one male-to-male pass play is permitted for each series of five downs, and no male may carry the ball across the line of scrimmage, there is a premium on having a competent female quarterback. In addition, men and women may not block each other. Practicality dictates, though, that referees not call this infraction too often despite the presence of a “Roman palms” on fingers some and Russian of the more forward males. “The program is designed more for the girls’ participation,” said Ken Fiorella, coed intramural football coordinator. “There are teams,” he added. The league has been beset by a fairly high incidence of forfeits due to undermanned (underwomanned?) squads, but is attributable to “three plus three” together, however, a makeshift choose-up game ensues can’t Girls must know some really competitive this unseasonably bad weather and the fact that the league meets on Fridays. Even when one team scrape people and nobody really cares. “They want to play football,” said Fiorella. “They are friends to begin with, and they get an early start on the weekends.” Jeff Groob had the last word. “The emphasis is on having fun,” he said, “and if you win, it’s even better.” Spikes Girls volleyball team remains undefeated by Joy Clark Spectrum Staff Writer “I was very pleased with their effort,” said volleyball Coach Cindy Anderson about her undefeated squad. Buffalo’s women’s volleyball team had just defeated Buffalo State and Binghamton in a tri-meet at Buffalo State last Friday. “They moved well and their spiking and hitting were very good,” Anderson said. Most prominent in this effort was junior co-captain Joanne Wroblewski, whose spiking and blocking led the Bulls over Binghamton 15-11 in the first game. Joanne’s strong net play was vital, since neither team could manage more than four points on any one service. In the second game Buffalo dominated play by scoring nine points on Anne Maloney’s serve, which ran the score from a close 5-3 to a comfortable 14-3. However, it took three services for Buffalo to rfail down the final point. Against crosstown rival Buffalo State, the Bulls won the first game 15-11 once more as Wroblewski’s net play remained exceptional. But this time she had a lot of help from the strong serves of co-captain Kathy Baginski and freshman Shelly Kulp. Dee fense, dee fense In the second Buffalo State contest, the Bengals gained an early 7-0 advantage. Then Buffalo’s defense tightened and held state scoreless for ten out of their last twelve serves. Marilyn Dellwardt added some offense to help Buffalo win the game 15-10. Anderson shuffled her lineup quite a bit, using all the players at least once. Only the co-captains, Wroblewski and Baginski, played in all four games. “I’m looking forward to a good season,” said the coach. “We have two trouble spots on the schedule, but they should be a couple of very good, very tough games.” Though she declined to name the two adversary’s she feared most, it can be assumed that one is powerful Brockport State. �special.

The College’s representatives told the College Chartering Committee that it was trying to of the kind provide humanities interdisciplinary program not offered by any branch of the University. The ease with which its courses have been cross-listed with the departments was not a sign of non-distinctiveness, they maintained, and Vico could succeed only if it remained a residential college. Although student participation in the planning of the college’s curriculum was inappropriate, parody between students and faculty in governing the college was assured in the charter, the spokesmen pointed out. Asked by DUE Dean Charles Ebert about the role of students in shaping their program, Vico member and Faculty-Senate chairman George Hochfield replied: “It’s clear Vico has been a faculty initiative. We also assume that we have a certain authority.” The kind of program Vico has cannot be planned by a 19-year-old, Dr. Hochfield said. “Your question is premature and reflects a philosophy of education that I doubt you believe in,” the Fac-Sen Chairman told Dr. Ebert. to Managing Editor Vico College is an alternative to the routine departmental structures that dominate academic life at this university, but it is also an alternative to the free-flowing, student-oriented plan of study which many of the other colleges present. Vico is a traditionalist college devoted to the interdisciplinary study of the great writings and thought of western civilization by way of a curriculum drawn up and controlled by its faculty members. Its plan of study fills the void between serious scholarship and depersonalized routine, setting itself off from the departments as well as the other colleges within the system. But Vico also supplements the departments, tying together many of the loose ends and incongruities of a university that has sub- divided study into mechanical disciplines which encourage a narrow plan of study that rarely stimulates the intellect. By crosslisting courses and utilizing a residential approach to education which emphasizes personal interaction and counseling, Vico has striven for the best of both worlds. Last week’s hearings demonstrated the inability of the Chartering Committee to understand the distinction between Vico’s traditional stance and the more radical approach of the other colleges. But it also showed the distance that Vico has put between itself and the rest of the collegiate system. Misapplications The committee’s questions and assumptions reflected poorly upon their own ability to judge the merit of an alternative approach to education. They were concerned over the lack of community involvement in the college, the minimal student input in decision-making, the lack of a scientist on the faculty of a college devoted to the study of the humanities and the prospect that Vico was merely an “intellectual hobby” for its individual members. Community involvement in other colleges has been criticized, and the Reichart Prospectus stipulates that the colleges will have to employ more faculty if they are to be chartered. The merit of community involvement in a discipline that stresses the study of thought rather than its application is questionable. The connotation of Vico as an “intellectual hobby” for its faculty is that they are merely dilletantes whiling away their spare time, toying with their students and using the college as a chage of pace from their own studies. Those charges would be much more applicable to certain members of the academic departments and appear rather foolish in light of the time and effort the Vico fellows have put into counseling and intellectual guidance for their students. Student input Student input into the course of study exists insofar as students can decide whether to Join the college and sign up for specific courses; the course outlines and statements of purpose are clear enough. How valid a course of study could students not yet familiar with the subject matter establish? Vico offers a curriculum which the student can chose or reject, avoiding the lip service tribute to student particpation that seems to be universally accepted here. The question of the need for a scientist on the faculty moves even further away from an examination of Vico’s role within the university. Anyone who took the time to read their introduction in the College Catalogue or review their proposed charter should be aware that that question has no bearing on the college’s validity. The committee took the contradictory approach of criticizing thellack of certain features in Vico, after previously questioning their presence in the other colleges. This apparent confusion demonstrates the committees dubious ability to pass judgement on the merits of the approach that each individual college has set up. Academic standards Vico’ is by far the most academically legitimate of the colleges. Few would question the capabilities of its faculty (which reads like a Who’s Who in the Humanities). The questions and slights of some members of the Chartering Committee only obfuscated the core issue of academic quality —continued on oaae ?— “There has been no faculty advisement at this University for a long time,” explained Elizabeth Perry, professor of History, and prospective Vico director. “Students may have spent years here without speaking to a faculty member,” she added, emphasizing that advisement would be one of Vico’s most worthwhile features. Vico College also defended its residential program, stressing that it facilitated a continuing intellectual atmosphere and provided opportunities for contact among students outside of the classroom. Out of fifty students who requested Vico housing in the Ellicott complex this year, impression is that you have a great books program, a floating craps game. Is Vico College more than this,” one committee member queried. Michele Ricciardelli, professor of Italian, claimed the College was concerned with a lot more than great books. “We are teaching our students about great ideas, not books. We are teaching them new ideas and ways of thinking. Books are only one medium for doing so,” Dr. Ricciardelli said. According to its charter, Vico College “is devoted to the rediscovery, reformulation, and ongoing practice of ‘liberal arts education.’ It seeks to promote of the the critical exploration ... ‘An epithet’ One Vico student cited the have in difficulty freshmen themselves to the orienting University, and indicated his preference for a faculty-led curriculum. John Greenwood, a committee member representing graduate students, said from what he had heard, Vico College was designed as an intellectual hobby to fulfill the needs of the faculty. His observations, he stated, stemmed partly from his own psychological analysis of the language of the Vico charter. “You say that students are not involved in the direction of the College because they are not competent to do so. Is the College designed only for the satisfaction of faculty needs?” Mr. Greenwood asked the Vico delegation. However, other Vico faculty stressed that the College was not a self-indulgent faculty hobby, but merely an attempt to overcome what they feel is a deficiency in University academics. A system of faculty advisement, scheduled to begin next semester, would give students the opportunity for one-to-one contact with anyone of the Vico College faculty, they asserted. fundamental intellectual and moral problems in the civilization of which both we and our students are members.” Vico uses a system of Core which combines a lecture courses departments.

Rome and Christianity would not be taken as a sign of plows through Virgil, Ovid, conformity to the academic Plutarch, St. Augustine and departments and reduce Vico’s Dante, while the other courses study authors like Machievelli, chances of being chartered. “The departments have not Calvin, Shakespeare, Marlowe, Hobbes, Locke, and cannot do what we’re doing,” Montaigne, Burke, Stendhal, Defoe, Paine, Perry said. “The does College Dr. Marx, not mean to us a program Hegel, Mill, Dickens, Freud, and Dostoyevsky operating out of an office, but a residence where people have Coherency informal as well as intellectual V ico College, it was explained, contacts. an interdisciplinary promotes approach to the generalized study Ideas Although resident activities at of the Humanities.

Esposito City Editor A bill which would reduce air fares for young people, senior citizens, and the handicapped is tied up in a subcommittee of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee. The legislation (S.2651) has been awaiting hearings in the Subcommittee on Transportation and Aeronautics since January 1974. Reduced fares on a standby basis for people under 22, over 65, or handicapped would be reinstated if the National Student Lobby (NSL) endorsed bill is enacted. A Civil Aeronautics Board ruling ended discount fares on June 1, on the basis that they were “unjustly discriminatory.” The House proposal would overturn that decision and allow the discount on flights with available space. $100 million savings The NSL is pushing to have the subcommittee schedule hearings, and is. trying to generate student support on a grassroots level, said Bob Pickett, NSL Legislative Director. He urged concerned citizens to write their Congressmen in support of the bill. While Subcommittee Chairman John Jarman (D-Okla.) officially promised to hold hearings, nothing has happened, Mr. Pickett explained. The NSL asserts that the discount fare bill could save students a total of $100 million a year, and would affect more tlj§n 1.6 million students who travel 500 miles or more between their homes and schools, as US Education Office statistics indicate.

Harp recital . —continued from . page . 1 — No committe should be in the position of questioning the legitimacy of a specific approach to alternative education. If there was any one group of educators that held the answer, the university would not now be functioning without direction and academic leadership. The committee should concern itself with the educational benefits accrued by the individual approaches. The ability of a Vico College student to comprehend and appreciate the writings of St .Augustine or Hegel, not the approach to the subject matter, should be the basis on which any judgement of the college’s merit is made. Suzanne Thomas, solo harpist of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and instructor in the Department of Music, will offer a recital on Wednesday, Oct. 23 at 8 p.m. in Baird Recital Hall. Ms. Thomas will be joined for this concert by colleagues Susannah Aylward, flute; Ansgarius Aylward, violin; Mary Sue Wells, cello; Suze Leal, voice, and Diane Williams, viola, in works of Telemann, Saint-Saens, de Falla, Spohr, Lou Harrison and Albert Roussel.

Somit declines SIU presidential position Executive vice-president Albert Somit has rejected the Presidency of Southern Illinois University (SIU) in Carbondae, apparently because of a salary dispute. SIU, unaware of a misunderstanding over the salary issue, announced Thursday that Dr. Somit would be the next President of the 18,500 student state campus. A reporter for the Southern Illinoian, the campus newspaper, said a member of the Board of Trustees told him the question was what Dr. Somit’s salary would be if he stepped down from or lost the Presidency. Both Dr. Somit and the Trustees agreed on a percentage of his salary as President. After SIU released its announcement, Dr. Somit carefully re-read the contract and found the salary percentage in it was not what he thought it to be. Apparently, he could not get the Trustees to agree to his proposed figure. ‘Misunderstanding’ In a formal statement released Friday, Dr. Somit said he was “honored” to have been chosen for The Spectrum is published Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and on Friday only during the summer by The Spectrum Student Periodical Inc.

And they’re not alone. Other publishers have joined the battle. According to studies on sex-role stereotyping in textbooks, plenty of editing is in order. Although 51 percent of the US population is female, the studies discovered men far outnumbering women in texts at all grade levels. Women who were represented were shown as servile, fearful, passive and dependent. In a study of 554 elementary readers, researcher Diane Graebner found a ratio of three boys to every two girls. She determined that 75 percent of all stories were about boys and that boys made up 67.5 percent of all illustrations. She found that girls were depicted as shallow and “mothers” invariably wore skirts even while camping or hiking down the Grand - last spring during a controversy over irregularities in the use of university liquor funds.

No additives are used in any of the foods at the Co-op, Cathy said. There are “no bleached-out foods” like bleached flour; the rice is brown, and the peanut butter is unhomogenized. Honey and peanut butter are stored in large vats, and customers buy what they wish in their own containers. The Lexington Co-op relies on other co-ops for many of its goods. Clear Eye of Rochester supplies grains, nuts, tea, and spices. The Maya Bakers on Greenfield Street supplies bread. Other goods are obtained from Kutters Cheese, Buffalo Nut, and The Clinton-Bailey Market. The Co-op isn’t strictly youth-oriented, Cathy said. Although most members are in their 20s and 30s, there are some customers over 60. The clientele is so diverse as to be unclassifiable, she observed. The Co-op opens its doors at 11 a.m. and closes at 6 p.m. on weekdays, except Thursday when it stays open until 8 p.m. Saturdays it closes at 5 p.m. The Circular Word is open Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The two stores are located at 224 and 226 Lexington Avenue, respectively.

The Teachers Resource Center, a meeting place where teachers, parents and students utilize learning materials donated by the community, is being set up to coordinate alternative education institutions in the Buffalo area. Located at 311 Ontario Street, in the Black Rock section of Buffalo, the Center is expected to open at the end of November, when invitations will be sent to public school teachers, parents, State University at Buffalo faculty, city hall administrators, and other community members involved in education. Workshops will be planned so that these guests can get to know how the resource center will work. The center will actually be run by the Alternative Education Coalition, which was established in 1969 to meet the demands for free schools in Buffalo. Most of the funding will come from the Community Action Corps, since three large corporations recently turned down requests for money. The concept originated from a similar teaching resource center in San Francisco, which has been in operation for three years. The ideas were brought to the Buffalo center by Jane Siegel, of the Evaluation Research Center, and Lesline Medine, founder of the Alternative Education Committee, among others. The center’s existence was made possible by the Hope Organization, which donated room space to the center. Several churches in the area have also University. offered space. In addition to providing instructional resources, the center will also be compiling a “learning directory” for Buffalo, which will include places of interest that can be used as instructional aids. For instance, if a teacher wants to teach her students about legal systems, she may look up this topic in the “Yellow Pages of Learning,” which will list places like the Attica trials court room and the Legal Aid Office. The center will also conduct workshops “to coordinate materials for child development,” according to Ms. Medine. She added that the center will have no governing body, so that teachers can have a direct input. Neighbors help from Ms. Van The Lexington Co-op also benefits Every’s bookstore.

The idea originated in Mr. Glennon’s office and was later approved by Executive vice president Albert Somit. A desire to ease their work load played a major part in the decision to implement the taping procedure, Mr. Glennon indicated. “A lot of cases have come up where we’ve had to go through a lot of manual labor,” he said, “A call might come in, and there was a dispute as to what was said, or a time element.” Tested during summer The taping policy, already in effect at Buffalo State and the State University at Stony Brook, was tested during the latter part of July and early August. “It provided what we wanted reduction of work load, accuracy of recordings, and access to records,” Mr. Glennon said. During the test period, callers were not advised that their conversations were being taped, but in the future, callers will be so notified in advance, he promised. Mr. Glennon scoffed at the possibility of a substantial reduction in the number of callers with the new procedure. “I don’t see why it should scare away anybody,” he said. “The only people it might scare away are people calling in false alarms and bomb threats. It is a consideration.” Dr. Somit revealed that the plan, which is within the law (conversations may be taped with the consent of one party), was subject to careful consideration on ethical and other grounds. “Our basic concern is to provide better service,” Dr. Somit said, adding that a taping system is a standard device to log incoming calls. — reative Learning Project Feature Editor The Creative Learning Project (CLP) was established by Community ACtion Corps (CAC) in 1972 to supplement the learning process in the public school systems with tutorial assistance on a one-to-one basis. The project was set up in response to Department of Health Education and Welfare statistics that showed that 42 percent of those American school children now in the fifth grade will not graduate from high school. In Buffalo, half of all high school graduates have a sub-sixth grade reading level. The tutors are given a comprehensive training program which teaches them how to use modern and effective techniques in working with children. They then meet in weekly seminars to continue their own learning process while teaching. The training program the only one of its kind shows tutors how to use in New York State reading materials, comic books, phonetics and workbooks in their- classes. The idea behind these materials, according to CAC Director David Chavis, is to make the child an active part of the learning — — ihe children's self-confidence, according to Mr. Chavis. “One of the debilitating effects of the public school system is that the child is told he can’t succeed," he said. The Creative Learning Project attempts to remedy the situation by treating the child as a total human being. Individual counseling One of the major complaints aimed against alternative education is that its loose structure does not teach the child to deal with the more structured world. To make sure this does not happen, the Creative Learning Project offers individual counseling to all the children, to help them cope with the public education system and to encourage discussion of their feelings toward the public schools. The program is divided into two parts. The first deals strictly with the tutorial, the second with recreation and liesure activity. Mr. Chavis believes that all children are educable. While many children in the center had been labeled as retarded, he has noted “sharp senses of humor” in many of them, and maintains that they can succeed “without limitations.” situation. “There is no such thing as Dick and Jane,” Mr. Chavis said. The CLP introduces the children to words in their common usage, making both teaching and learning an enjoyable experience. The usage of slang, for example, is condoned, since it does not interfere with phonetics. Commercial vitamins to be relabelled drugs WASHINGTON, D.C. (LNS) Eighty percent of the vitamins now available will be reclassified as “drugs” and become obtainable only through a prescription, starting January 1, 1975. This new Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulation has been temporarily delayed until that date so that Congress can hear debate on changing the law. Many leading nutritional experts, including Linus Pauling, who is known for his research on vitamin C, feel that the FDA prohibitions are a severe setback for nutritional science. For example, under the FDA regulation, vitamin C with a potency of more than 45 milligrams () 50 percent of the recommended daily allowance) cannot be sold without a prescription. Anything above that is classified as a drug, even though four ounces of orange juice supplies fifty - commercially milligrams. Tutors aiding public schools by llene Dube —Santos Cultural background considered Ninety-five percent of the children are from middle and lower class homes, and there are equal numbers of blacks and whites.

The recommended daily allowance is that amount of a vitamin or mineral that prevents a person from developing a deficiency disease, such as scurvy in the case of vitamin C. Pills Dr. Pauling’s research concludes that large quantities of vitamin C can, to a large degree, prevent the common cold. He recommends at least one thousand milligrams of vitamin C a day when a cold is likely 22 - times more than the recommended daily allowance. When the new regulation goes into effect, a person who wanted to follow Pauling’s directions would have to see a doctor and get a prescription or take 22 pills a day. Opposition to the FDA law in the Senate is being led by Senator William Proxmire (D., Wise.) who has noted that easily accessible vitamins are needed to make up for the lack of nutrition in many of our foods. The FDA, however, has refused to open up research on the subject of the nutritional value of the available manufactured foods. In their booklet entitled Nutritional Quackery the FDA insists in part, “the truth is that the American food supply is unsurpassed in the world for both quantity and nutritional value our farming and food processing industries have provided the American people with an ever-increasing variety of wholesome and nutritious foods.” — Fertilizers But according to many nutritionists, a large variety of food in the supermarkets, most of the ready-made breads, cereals, soups, dinners, lunch meats, etc. are less than “wholesome and nutritious.” Processed foods contain chemical fertilizers, chemical additives and preservatives and often have been cooked in ways that destroy much of their nutritional value. National Food Supply, a 1966 U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) publication, stated that 44 percent of the average daily caloric intake by Americans was fat which is almost devoid of any vitamin or mineral content. Fifty percent or more of this consumption is in the form of white flour and white sugar, which is highly deficient in nutrients due to the refining process. Less than 10 percent of the average calories consumed are vegatables, meat, fish, eggs or dairy products, which should supply close to 100 percent of our daily essential nutrients. In 1968, the USDA announced that only 50 percent of American families had a “good” diet, 30 percent rated fair and 20 percent rated poor. This showed a decline in the nutritional value of American dietary habits compared to a 1955 survey made by the department. Scandals The Food and Nutrition Board, which determines the recommended allowance of vitamins and minerals is, according to Mr. Proxmire "influenced, dominated and financed by the food industry. It represents one of the most scandalous conflicts of interest in the federal government.” At the 1969 White House Conference on Food, Nutrition and Health, which made proposals for nutritional education, the chairman. W.W. Murphy, was also chairman of the Campbell’s Soup Company. Proxmire also noted that “with low recommended daily allowances, the food companies which advise the Food and Nutrition Board can print tables on their food packages making their products appear to contain a higher level of nutrients than if higher or optimum levels were daily established.” “The FDA and much, though not all, of the orthodox medical profession . are out to get the health food industry and to drive the health food stores out of business,” he added. . Monday, 21 October 1974 . The Spectrum . Page five �Edl Executive accountability Gerald Ford's decision to appear before a House Judiciary subcommittee was a refreshing exercise in candor for an American President, but his actual testimony failed to clear up any of the doubts that have arisen over his pardon of Richard Nixon. Most of the subcommittee, awed by the magnanimity of the President's gesture, was content to ask strikingly unaggressive questions, and Mr. Ford's answers were at best superficial and cosmetic. The validity of the pardon itself went unquestioned, although numberous legal scholars are convinced that it violated both the letter and spirit of the Constitution, which deliberately removes a President's pardoning power "in cases of impeachment." Congresswoman Elisabeth Holtzman (D.,N.V.) was the only member of the subcommittee with the good sense to squarely challenge Mr. Ford. Keenly aware that the hearings did not offer sufficient time for a careful interrogation, she wisely chose to rattle off a barrage of Outside compelling questions. by Clem Colucci Why was Mr. Nixon pardoned without specifying his crimes or obtaining a confession of guilt, she asked Mr. Ford. Why were the deliberations conducted with such haste and secrecy? What was the connection between the pardon and the agreement giving Mr. Nixon control over access to his tape recordings? Why wasn't the Special Prosecutor or Attorney General consulted? And why was a lawyer under criminal investigation used as an intermediary? But instead of shedding any light on these questions, the President merely rehashed the things he has been saying at press conferences and White House briefings. Ht reiterated that the pardon would place Watergate behind us and allow the country to move ahead with other, more pressing problems, even though his action has clearly intensified the nations's preoccupation with the scandals, raised doubts about Mr. Ford's own judgment and called attention to a double standard of justice. And when asked by the Brooklyn Congresswoman whether he would be willing to turn over to the Judiciary Committee the tapes of conversations between him and Mr. Nixon, to prove that the tapes agreement had not resulted from his desire to keep such conversations secret, the President gave a roundabout answer. Mr. Ford's failure to carefully explain why he did not consult any of the principals in the case while deliberating over the pardon was an act reminiscent of his predecessor's method of making decisions. Whatever good intentions he may have shown by appearing before the committee, it will take a lot more than cosmetic, watered-down testimony to lay suspicions about the pardon to rest. And after all that has happened, the repeated failure of Congress to rigorously question Executive power can only lead to a further deterioration of accountability in government. The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. ooking 26 The story so far: Marlowe Spade, private detective, was shanghaied in his office and flown to Washington where he was brought before President Ford. “OK, so you’re the President. What do you want?” I asked. “I need your professional services,” he replied “Why, snapped on isn’t Gordon Liddy out yet?” I “No, this isn’t that kind of work. It’s strictly the up-and-up. I want you to find my mandate.” “Huh?” When I took this job, “My mandate. everybody loved me. Now the polls have my approval rating down to 49 percent. What am I doing wrong?” “I’ll nose around. Do you have any leads? Who should 1 ask?” “Just ask the people,” he said. A few hours later, I was in a grocery store asking people what Gerald Ford was doing wrong. “I’m not sure,” said a housewife with a shopping cart full of canned tuna, noodles and other lower-priced foods, “He says, ‘Let’s do something about inflation’ and everybody in Congress claps. But that’s all there is to it. He doesn’t do anything, he just says it’s time to do something.” I thanked her and moved on to the frozen foods section where a man was playing with a hand calculator trying to learn whether \3Vi oz. of frozen perch at $2.89 were cheaper than 1 1V4 oz. of frozen halibut at $2.61. “Ford, he’s all right, I guess. Makes his own breakfast, sleeps with his wife. But hell, 1 do that too and that doesn’t mean 1 should be President. I’ve got a kid in college, Cornell. He wanted to go to Yale, got in too, but we couldn’t afford to lose the Regents scholarship. I had to remortgage the house to pay for it anyway.” “I didn’t think I’d learn any more in the supermarket, so I moved to a bar across the town.” “Maybe he’s a nice guy an’ maybe he ain’t,” In growled a burly, 40-ish man with a pitcher of Bud, “all 1 know is 1 used to work regular at the steel plant. I’d’a been a foreman in a few years, too. Now I’m outta work more often than not. He wants us to tighten our belts. Bullshit. Me an' my family been tightenin' our belts the last five-six years. 1 hear the plant manager’s got problems too, had to take a week less in Europe. I don’t mind that he’s makin' money earns it, I guess, but why doesn’t he have to pay for inflation? That’s what - bugs me.” He told me to check out a friend of his at the hospital who could give me more information. I thanked him and bought his friends a round before I left. In a semi-private room, a middle-aged insurance salesman was recovering from a heart attack. “One-twenty-five a day this costs,” he told me, “I try to save money, really I do, but something like this wipes you right out. I had a few grand in the bank and it’s almost gone. I'll do my part, I don’t mind, but somebody’s got to keep everything else in line. What good will it do me to watch my spending if the rates for health care go out of sight? 1 can’t fight inflation myself and neither can all the little people like me put together.” From there I went to the county prison. I spoke to a con 1 helped send up there last year. He didn’t hold it against me and talked freely-.“You know what bums me? The pardon, that’s what. Nixon’s suffered enough, Ford said. I’ll suffer on $60,000 a year any time you want. I’m not complaining about being here. I kited a few checks and got caught. I’m doing standard time for it. We don’t even know what Nixon did and that idiot in the White House pardoned him anyway. What the hell kind of justice is that?” It was all like that and 1 couldn’t make head or tail out of it. I flew back to the White House and told him what little I was able to find out. He thanked me, paid me and said I should drop in if I were ever in the neighborhood. On my way to the airport I got talking to the cabdriver. “You know what Ford’s problem is?” he said, “He’s nobody special anymore just President.” The fare was $6.50. I tipped him three bucks. — Monday, 21 October 1974 Editor-in-Chief — Larry Kraftowitz Stalking the shadow Amy Dunkin Managing Editor Managing Editor Michael O'Neill Gerry McKeen Advertising Manager — — — Campus City Composition Feature Ronnie Selk . . .

On Monday, October I4th, we were studying in the Ellicott Library. We were quite disturbed by a group of gentlemen (Dr. Ketter among them) who were sitting and conversing near us. The North Library' is not, to our knowledge, a conference room. Next time would someone inform the administration that this is a university and some people study in libraries, and when you invest so much money in them, they should be used for that specific purpose. Some of us take our education All students at this University should be deeply grieved at the theft situation in the University Bookstore. The estimated theft rate is in the vicinity of $60,000 worljh of merchandise per year. A careful analysis of Bookstore policy and a small amount of common sense reveals that no matter what losses the Bookstore reports, the manager, supervisors and employees receive no loss in salary. In fact, where mandated, employees receive annual salary increases. The losers, the persons who get hurt by Bookstore thefts, are typical students. As a non-profit operation, the Bookstore should be able to offer many items at less than competitive markups. However, to compensate their losses, we are often forced to pay exhorbitant prices. If Bookstore thieves cannot be deterred by appeals to their social consciousness; if they continue their larceny, realizing that they steal from their fellow students, not from the Bookstore; and if our society has euphemized the term “rip-off” so that seriously. Enid Vick Jody F. Burns Mindy A her Guest Opinion by representatives of The Day Care Center We believe in low cost, parent-controlled quality day care. Availability of these services is a right of all parents who want to attend school and/or work. Who’s responsibility is it? We feel the responsibility of providing needed services for people on this campus falls under the administration budget. As part of the program of Affirmative Action, which purports to encourage women and minority groups to attend school and/or work, the state must provide day care services, so that an important segment of this population can be part of the University community. The University Administration can and should provide the services that meet the needs of the vast majority, rather than set priorities that serve the interest of a few. Corporations benefit most from the way our University is organized. Education is geared both towards providing future managerial and technical employees, at no cost to the major corporations and toward spreading the ideology, that what’s good for the major corporations is good for the rest of the society. The Administration budget must reflect the wishes of the people. Why low cost? The parents who use our center are primarily single women, minority members, and working class families, people in this society whose income makes it impossible to afford the $30-40 a week that private centers charge. To insure that women, minority members and working class families can attend school and/or work, low cost day care must be provided. Can we turn any place else for funds It is not the responsibility of the 1) Sub Board, SA or GSA student organizations to provide day care on this campus. To ask the student body for funds will detract from the quality and quantity of other student organizations. 2) The county? Erie County Social Services tells us students are poor by choice, therefore they won’t fund on-campus day care. The Social Service department pays for day care only to welfare recipients in approved educational programs. Students who attend four-year universities are not eligible to receive funding for day care. 3) The federal government? Federal financial assistance cannot be provided without matching county funds. 4) Outside foundations? There are no funds available. We want funds that are ongoing. Most foundation grants are for one year only, and will not offer financial assistance year after year. What will the money go for? Parents at our center are paying fees that amount to 10-20 percent of their earnings. This sum amounts to approximately $19,500 a year. In order to have full-time quality staff with suitable working conditions and adequate wages and benefits, our teaching staff budget amounts to $48,180 a year. This includes — I) 6 full-time staff* required benefits (15%) staff replacements for sick and vacation days required benefits for staff replacements *as required by state law $720 a week 108 86 $37,440 a yr petty thefts from faceless entities, such as the Bookstore, have become socially acceptable, then students should demand that the Bookstore take action against these petty criminals. Well, such action has already been taken. In the past week, security guards have apprehended nine students in the Bookstore for thefts that amount to several hundred dollars. These students are awaiting prosecution before the Student-Wide Judiciary and all future first-time offenders will be handled in similar fashion. As a general appeal to the student body, let’s take the first step in lowering prices in our bookstore. That $60,000 does not belong to a handful of selfish thieves. It' rightfully belongs to all students who purchase from the Bookstore in the form of lower prices. When someone tells you he ripped-off the Bookstore, let him know who he’s really ripping off his own friends! Hilary Lowell Student Rights Coordinator Student Association Screwing up the works To the Editor. As an officer of Student Association, I am personally appalled by the Athletic crisis the GSA Senate has created by its inaction. Namely: Because of the GSA Senate’s refusal to pass a bill designating $3000 for graduate student use of gym facilities, all graduate students will be denied any participation in U.B. athletics unless they cough it up out of their own pockets! Not only is this irrational policy unfair to those grad students using the gym, but it is also unfair to the other student governments who were counting on GSA’s cooperation in formulating a unified policy on athletics. As a result of this policy, money will now have to be used to pay officials to check all students using the gym. This situation is not only inconvenient, but unfortunate. At a time when money is tight, the other student governments must divert some of their money from athletic programs to keep out graduate students. This is bullshit! Nobody wants this except, maybe, the GSA Senate. Today, when unity among the student governments is a must, the GSA Senate is literally “screwing up the works.” The smart thing for them to is to get do if they are an equitable body themselves together and pass the money necessary to avert this crisis. I hope they’ll be able to do this before graduate students come knocking on their door. — - - Scott J. Salimando Executive V.P. ofSA Free Cuba To the Editor I recently was given a copy of your newspaper, dated October 2, 1974, in which appeared an article on Cuba and the wonderful success Socialism is having there. I am presently here in Buffalo for my last year of preparation before being considered for ordination the Consolata Fathers. Prior to my coming here, 1 was the editor and publisher of La Nacion Americana. the largest Spanish-language newspaper (Catholic) in the country. I happen to be Cuban, having been born in Havana Cuba. Since my arrival in the United States, I have confronted and debated many times the students that have gone to Cuba, the propagandist Marxists and others who try to sell Cuba today to the American students and people. I can honestly say that what you printed in your newspaper was just the same thing that these salesmen for the Castro Dictatorship have been saying and spreading for I 2 years. The one issue that none of them ever considered even when I debated representatives of the Brigade Venceremos in Salem College. 1971 oral Seton Hall University in New Jersey, or at Rutgers or so many other places, was the issue of Freedom and Self Determination; Freedom from Russian Colonialism, Imperialism and self-determination to decide their own destiny, their own leaders and develop their nation economically for the people and not the state. I could argue the many points that were brought out by your article or which appeared in The Spectrum, but the content was the same message, just like a broken record that all those who defend dictatorship preach. At Salem, Mass., I stressed in to 1971 that to compare the success of Cuba and its people economically, one had to see Cuba before Castro and after; one had to see the few thousand exiles before and the hundreds of thousands who have left and continue to leave. So many times I see and read articles in student papers condemning the United States or the dictatorships of Chile, Brazil or Spain, but never once the police and dictatorial state of Communist Cuba, where some 150,000 political prisoners are in prisons and concentration camps, and as was seen recently on T.V., there is a block by block spy network to check on the masses. Yes, American students demonstrate against the War in Vietnam by the thousands, against the military government that overthrew Allende, etc., etc., but never against the Red tanks when they entered Budapest or when the Polish people rebelled against the Russians, or even Czechoslovakia where students burned themselves to demonstrate their cause for true liberty. Isn’t it strange that we would oppose dictatorship in one area of the world and sanction it in another. There are some 250 priests and nuns in Cuban their prisons. I gather that they deserve to be there crime being a desire for freedom of worship. And what about Alberto Muller, a student leader who is rotting in jail and so many others. Well, I could go on, but I have a firm belief that Cuba will be free some day in spite of such articles and pro-imperialists/ pro-colonialists. - Raul Comesanas 5,616 4,464 670 $927 $48,180 Can we reorganize the center from within? This means two things: this would eliminate the parents who need 1) Raise parent fees the center the most. Single women, minority members and working class families’ wages cannot shoulder the burden of higher rates. 2) Lower staff wages and/or eliminate some of the staff. Both the number of staff and the remaining staff wages have been lowered because of the lack of administrative funding. Another cut in either would create intolerable working conditions and starvation wages. Any center that wants a quality educational program cannot be forced to accept these conditions.

Apparently, though, this situation has been remedied of late, as the Buffalo Bulls, in the words of forward Jim Young, “played the best game we’ve played all year,” defeating Niagara 6-1 last week. play was great, “Team particularly on offense,” Young observed. “We had a lot of team spirit, something we’ve been missing all year.” Young was a major part of the Bulls’ win, scoring a school-record four goals, catapulting him into the ranks of leading scorers in the state. Tops in the state Tim Schum, head coach at the State University at Binghamton and president of the New York Soccer Coaches Association, remarked on Young’s status among scoring leaders. the state “Although we haven’t compiled individual statistics,” he said, “his I I goals would rate right at the top of the scorers. On a per game basis, his scoring rate [ 1.6 goals per game) is almost definitely the top in the state.” Young’s role as leading scorer is not new. He was the primary force in the Bulls’ offense last year. This year, though, with a more skilled supporting cast, TBMA. BFVC including freshman sensation Emmanuel Kulu, every player has the potential of controlling the game as Young did last year. This has created an uncomfortable situation for the players. “I didn’t like the style of play we were using the first five games,” Young said. “I’ve been complaining this year for a couple of reasons. 1 feel I’m more effective when I’ve got the ball, and I wasn’t getting the ball as much as I’m used to. It was affecting my game.” The concept of team play is essential to a successful soccer team, and the Bulls are no exception. With practice/class conflicts, however, Buffalo lost valuable practice time in developing cohesive team style. Getting together “We had a lack of team play earlier in the season, due mainly to [class] conflicts with practice,” Young asserted. “As the season’s progressing, I’m working with the guys more and more, and that’s a result of more playing time together, both in practice and in games,” he added. When asked if his four-goal performance is a personal peak, Young replied", “No, 1 had six once in junior college. I’m going for six in all the rest of the games from now on. I’m going to go crazy,” he joked. Consistent six-goal games is a crazy thought alright, but it can’t hurt to try. -sports shortsBulls in athletic conference Harry Fritz, athletic director, has announced a press conference to be held the morning of Oct. 31 to announce plans for the formation of a regional collegiate athletic league involving Buffalo, Niagara, Buffalo State, and Canisius. These four schools compete with each other in a total of eight sports. It would appear that this conference is an outgrowth of Buffalo’s and Buffalo State’s arrangements to play Canisius in basketball. At this time, though, the details of the conference are not known. President Michael Buffalo wrestling Coach Ed Michael has been elected the first president of the new New York State College Wrestling Coaches Association. The group, which Michael was instrumental in forming, is dedicated to promoting wrestling in the state. Part of his election must have something to do with his success. The Bulls have been the strongest team in the state for several years. They have not lost a match to a New York opponent since 1971, when Oswego topped them. « scrpaer ?I9M KiR ■ass: This sign was hung in Norton Union next to the Fillmore Room last week. It was signed by about 60 people not counting the gag signatures of Lou Sabin (a misspelled version of the Buffalo Bills coach's name), Joe Namath and Mr. President. There were comments, mostly negative, written on the poster as well. Most concerned the expense and impracticality of bringing back football, though someone scribbled "Day Care Not Football." Athletic Director Harry Fritz was encouraged by the sign though he doubted football could be brought back in the near future. — Commentary LA’s loss is Oakland’s win by Bruce Engel Sports Editor When the Baltimore Orioles won the American League Pennant, and swept the World Series in 1966, people talked about dynasty. When the Boston Red Sox won the pennant in 1967, with a super young team, people spoke of dynasty once more. In 1968 the St. Louis Cardinals and their million-dollar payroll won their second straight pennant, but lost to the Detroit Tigers in the series. People talked about Denny McClain and Mickey Lolich. Finally baseball fans reconciled themselves to the fact that no one would ever dominate the game as the Yankees had for 40 years. Now it’s I 474. Charles Finley’s Oakland Athletics have won their third consecutive world championship, fourth division title. And are people talking about Dynasty this time? No way. They are talking about luck, Los Angeles Dodger errors, Finley’s pompous eccentricity and total lack of class and, finally, they describe how the controversial but talented A’s are constantly at each other’s throats. Moral winning Well it’s about time the Athletics got the notice they deserved during the series, but that went to the Dodgers, despite the fact that Oakland won four games to one. For some reason a 3-2 loss all of a sudden became a moral victory for the losers. Many fans and experts probably would emphasize the subtle distinction between the Dodgers losing as opposed to the A’s winning anything. I’m not claiming dynasty. The fact is the team may crumble at any time. Ken Holtzman has said he will retire. Catfish Hunter considers himself a free agent. Reggie Jackson considers himself a free soul, who’s likely to do almost anything. Gene Tenace is disgruntled. Few, if any of the Athletics, are really happy with things as they are. The only thing they have ever done together is win. Two weeks ago Reggie Jackson joked that there are no friends on the team. It wasn’t far from the truth. However, the fact remains that the A’s are frighteningly close to the record five straight world titles that the Yankees won under Casey Stengel. Of course the A’s have had two managers already, during their title reign. And I’ll bet Alvin Dark hasn’t bought a house in the bay area. Check the record If one examines the records of the series, there are some interesting observations to be made. For one thing the Athletics had five errors to the Dodgers’ half a dozen. The Athletics managed to make errors only when it would not hurt them. Actually the Dodgers simply failed to capitalize on them. Luck is not at play here. The Athletics are the kind of team that is likely to hit a man around after he gets on base due to a miscue. Oakland was opportunistic (not lucky, mind you). They beat the Dodgers on LA’s only weakness-infield defense. As always, the A’s played only good enough to win. What else were they supposed to do anyway? They’re simply a solid ball club, with no weaknesses, save the ignorance of speedster Herb Washington, and the arrogance of Charles Finley. Don’t count them out until the whole team walks out. But don’t bet against that either. 1 In Stock Now! Hockey irony Athletic Association According to official Eastern Intercollegiate hockey statistics from the 1973—74 season, Buffalo’s hockey Bulls were the highest-scoring team in the East. The Bulls tallied a total of 200 goals on their way to an 18—11 record. The big guns were Mike Klym with 36 goals, and John Stranges with 25. The ironic thing is that Buffalo Coach Ed Wright was a defenseman during his collegiate career at Boston University. Robby on campus? The word from Speakers Bureau Chairman Stan Morrow is that Frank Robinson, recently appointed major league baseball’s first black manager with the Cleveland Indians, may speak on campus in mid-November. His appearance hinges upon whether or not Robinson returns to the States from a planned trip to Puerto Rico. Robinson will be in Santurce, Puerto Rico, to manage the winter baseball team there, as he has done each year for the past five years. It might be interesting to hear what Robinson has to say about his forthcoming life in a test tube. Scheduling associate Ed Muto, former Buffalo basketball coach, now has the title of Associate Athletic Director for Scheduling. This is essentially the same job he held last year, but without the title. Muto also has the coordination of the non-major physical education program to keep him busy.

Rubin Spectrum Staff Writer Paul Carroll, last week’s Athlete of the Week, is a household name around Buffalo. Even his teammates used to think of him as the poor little rich kid from Amherst.

He joined the cross country team at Amherst Central High School, mostly for fun and companionship. Although his times were far from outstanding, he worked hard to improve himself. When he enrolled at Buffalo, Carroll was leery of taking on too much responsibility too soon. He therefore decided not to run cross country for one year, hoping to get back into form during the winter and spring seasons. But a job came along in November, and he couldn’t manage school, work, and practice at the same time.

From there, amidst an endless stream of wisecracks action flower Dam on the Columbia River Spring about his rich-kid background, Carroll worked his way up slowly until this year, when he really started cutting his times down. “He’s not overly endowed with running ability,” McDonough commented. “He’s a good example of a se-made runner who has improved strictly through hard work and desire.” Carroll’s performances as a six miler during the spring track season were not impressive either. But if he improves on the oval this spring as much as he already has in cross country, the track Bulls will have one more consistent point-getter. Carroll doesn’t plan to ease off as graduation approaches. “Last year I only had time to run 50 or 60 miles per week, but this year I’m trying for 100 or 1 20,” he noted. As captain, Carroll is as much concerned with the team’s performance as he is with his own. “We’ve got a really young team,” he said. “Kevin [Lynch, a freshman] is doing a great job.

Carroll has already broken his own personal record at Grover Cleveland, the Bull’s home course, and he recently destroyed Buffalo’s standard at St. Bonaventure, held by former Bull star The silver cloud over Paul Carroll may have a gray lining in the hamstring injury. The pull is giving him tremendous pain in his knee, and if ice packs and heat treatments don’t help, Carroll may have to sit out the rest of the season. Even if the injury does keep Carroll out of action, his season will still be successful. His performance in the Bulls’ win over Cleveland and his first place finish at St. Bonaventure represent the achievements which have put Paul Carroll at the top of the cross country heap.

That was nearly two years ago; almost nothing has happened since. The Assembly held a few meetings, and last May, elected as Chairman former Student Association (SA) Executive vice-president Dave Saleh. Mr. Saleh soon decided the Assembly “must review its present function,” since it apparently had none. By law, the President of a school in the State University system has authority for campus governance and cannot relinquish that authority. Consequently, all campus governance bodies that attempt to deal with issues not restricted to their specific constituencies are strictly advisory. The Assembly, having no authority over any of its constituent groups and power only to advise the President, now finds itself lacking both authority and purpose. efforts Underwhelming start When the final University Assembly proposal was presented two years ago, it generated little noticeable enthusiasm from most of the groups that would eventually endorse and join it. (Those groups, and one, classified their representation in the Assembly are: alumni ten, graduate employees five, faculty 40, professional staff four, students eight, Millard Fillmore College students three. President 16, professional students undergraduate students Robert Ketter and SUNY Chancellor Ernest Boyer are ex officio, — — - — — — — — non-voting members.) The SA Executive Committee gave Marjorie Mix, chairperson of the committee on University governance, a skeptical reception when she detailed the proposed Assembly two years ago. SA was then holding out for student-faculty-administration parity on the Assembly, without which it would not give active support to the proposal. Then-National Affairs Coordinator Ed Wolf called the Assembly: “one big zero. It’s a step sideways. It involves us in a kangaroo Congress with no power. It’s a sham.” Big deal Then-Assistant Treasurer David Bartnak’s position eventually became that of SA: “The thing may pass and I won’t be unduly upset, but I don’t think we ought to go out of our way to endorse it.” SA held a referendum on the subject without taking a position on the Assembly. Undergraduate students did not turn out in great numbers, but voted by a safe margin to join. All other constituencies eventually did the same. Since then, the Assembly has not succeeded in gaining the enthusiastic support of the other campus governance bodies. Faculty-Senate Chairman George Hochfield said the Assembly is “obviously in trouble.” He called it “a liberal solution to a problem that can’t be solved that way.” The problem, as Dr. Hochfield saw it, was to bring the various campus groups together to discuss problems that apply to all of them. But the differing interests and values of the constituencies made working together difficult, he said. The Assembly became peripheral to —continued on page 3— Faculty participation in the Colleges has increased dramatically since the passage of the Reichert Prospectus while spokesmen throughout the Collegiate system continue to request more money to pay these faculty and further fund their programs The upsurge in faculty Irving Spitzberg, Dean of involvement was caused by the the Colleges, said that 109 of the merger College with the University faculty now have Perkins Marsh George Project, not at least some minimum level with the comply efforts to by of involvement with the ColProspectus, Ms. Howell explained. leges, in contrast to the two Similarly, Jackie Finley, dozen faculty who were inrepresentative of College B and volved a year ago. member of the Colleges Participation in a College may Chartering Committee, said the consist of teaching, advising, or increase in faculty at College B serving on a College’s governing was not a direct result of the body.

Upsurge not want an The Reichert Prospectus, The Committee does passed by the Faculty-Senate last Spring, mandates that each Collegiate unit demonstrate “substantial” faculty involvement as a requirement for chartering. Any College not chartered will cease to exist after January 1, 1975. Sources in the Collegiate system indicated Wednesday that while faculty involvement has recently increased, the increase was not caused solely by efforts to comply with the Prospectus. They said that attracting new faculty participants had always been one of their goals, and that these goals simply coincided with the requirements of the Prospectus. Roger Cook, spokesman for Social Sciences College, said that while faculty involvement as alte as the fall semester last year was virtually non-existant, there are at least four University faculty participating this semester. The College was also negotiating release time for one of these faculty to become the College’s administrative officer, Mr. Cook indicated. This increase was part of an effort to rebuild Social Sciences College following a recent lapse in student interest, he asserted. 'Not counting heads' Rachel Carson College now has about 12 to 15 faculty who have committed themselves to “teach, supervise, or serve in some way,” according' to member Patricia Howell. Previously, participating faculty had been about eight, she said. process in good faith, and expected the administration to do the same, she said. “When faculty join a college, they do so for the intellectual exercise, not the financial benefit,” one Collegian commented. Parody Negotiations are currently underway to increase stipends of College instructors, possibly to the level of a Millard Fillmore College instructor. More money for the Colleges is not “just a presidential decision,” Dr. Spitzberg said, but it is a consensus of the University to fund the Colleges at a significantly higher level. President Ketter had promised to review the Colleges budget, he said. Meanwhile, the chartering process continued as Urban Studies College (formerly CP. Snow College) went before the Chartering Committee in open hearings Tuesday. Additionally, it was learned that College Z, which emphasized legal awareness and defense of individual rights, would not submit a charter and would dissolve at the end of this semester. Internal problems were mainly responsible for College Z’s dissolution, among them coordinator Jerald Levy’s decision to leave this University, Dr. Spitzberg said. “The College Z programs were among the most creative and productive in the Colleges. We should create a situation where they, and their constituency of cops and students, should be saved,” he said. Debate College Z courses include Criminal and Constitutional Law, Organized Crime, A Radical Approach to Law Enforcement, and The Role of Police in Society. Enrollment is currently about 200. The Courses are expected to be added to the curriculum of Urban Studies College.

Irving Spitzberg �Gubernatorial race Candidates split on issues of tuition hike, financial aid by Barbara Ranagan Sepclrum Staff Writer The outcome of the upcoming gubernatorial elections will have a direct impact on State University of New York (SUNY) students because of the different stances taken by Hugh Carey and Malcolm Wilson on student-related issues, particularly the possibility of a SUNY tuition hike. Earlier this year, the Student Association of the State University of New York (SASU) asked both candidates for their positions on various higher education issues. The state-wide student organization was especially concerned about the effect inflation might have on SUNY tuition and the current drive for a no-tuition policy in the SUNY system. Despite conflicting reports from sources in the governor’s office, Mr. Wilson said he has no plans to raise tuition. However, he has completely ruled out a feasibility study for a free tution policy by the 1978-79 academic year. In citing his rejection of free public higher education, the governor argued that he must act responsibly on behalf of NYS taxpayers. “The elimination of this revenue would imbalance the budget, thereby requiring taxation of citizens in other areas” he said, and would have a detrimental effect on the private institutions in the state. Mr. Carey has assured students that if elected, he will maintain present tuition levels. “We can and must hold the line on State University tuition,’’ he asserted, promising to study contingency plans and work for a tuition roll-back. “The State, not the students, should bear the burden of financing of higher education state in these days of high inflation,” Mr. Carey stressed. Candidates' riff On the corollary issue of student financial aid, the rift between the candidates is even more apparent. Mr. Carey supported the creation of a state work-study program and endorsed SASU’s suggestions to revise the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP). The revisions would eliminate the $200 tuition differential between upper and lower division students, reinstitute the former method of computing awards for students from families with more than one child attending college, extend awards to matriculated half-time students, and allow five year awards for students who transfer from two to four-year colleges. Mr. Wilson has cited his role in implementing the TAP program, and said that “dollar restraints” have made the additional revisions impossible Concerning the adoption of voting student membership on the Board of Trustess and College and community College councils, Mr. Wilson expressed serious reservations about curtailing the governor’s power of appointment student by legislating participation. He said he did not necessarily seek students per se, but the most capable individuals to do the job. However, he assured SASU that he would consider its nominations. Student appointees Mr. Carey believes students should be appointed to the various University governance boards. He said he would appoint a SASU-elected representative for voting membership to the State University Board of Trustees, and support the election of individual student body representatives to their local college councils. He also said he would not necessarily limit participation to one student in an effort to avoid tokenism. Regarding the frequentlythreatened mandatory student activity fee, Mr. Carey blasted attempts by previous Republican legislatures to eliminate or further regulate the assessment and allocation of student fees. Mr. Wilson considers this regulation an internal SUNY matter, saying, “in fact these fees are neither imposed nor regulated by the governor.” However, he would not promise to veto any future legislative attempts to restrict the use of student fees. District voting On student voting rights, Mr. Carey promised he will fight to amend the state election law to allow students to vote in their college districts. Mr. Wilson carefully pointed out that the issue was complicated by the lengthy process of amending the New York State constitution. Last year, Mr. Wilson vetoed a SASU bill that would have lowered the minimum age from 21 to 18 years for anyone serving as an officer or a member of the board of directors of a corporation that holds a liquor license. His concern is with maturity, not age, and he has asked the Law Revision Commission “to reevaluate the issues from the point of the community as well as the 18 to 21 year olds.” Governor Wilson said he would endorse the legislation if the Commission issued a favorable report. However, he would also ensure the flexibility of the State Liquor Authority to reject individuals whose maturity may be questionable. Mr. Carey simply endorsed legislation that would lower the age of majority so that students, as directors of a corporation, could obtain liquor licenses. ACT-Sharp hopes to ge t things done by David Haitkin Spectrum Staff Writer SA rejects motion to a ter new membership guidelines The Student Assembly defeated a resolution Tuesday that would have amended the selection process of members to the Personnel and Appointments Committee. The absence of a large enough voting block perpetuated this defeat. Presently, members to this committee are appointed by the SA President with the approval of the Executive Committee. The Personnel and Appointment Committee selects candidate's for certain stipended positions in SA during the spring semester. The general feeling among the Assembly was the selection process should be amended whereby the six committee members would be elected by the Student Assembly. In addition, the committee would choose its own chairman while the Executive vice-president (who previously served as chairman) would be a non-voting member. While there was wide support for this amendment, the motion was defeated by just under the three-fifths required vote for passage. Had all that 100 members been present at the meeting, the motion would have most likely carried, since absentees are counted as “nay” votes. As it stands, the SA will retain the current selection guidelines Club recognition In other developments, the Assembly voted to recognize the Student Medical Technology Association, Community Action Corps (CAC), New York Public Interest Group (NYPIRG), Student Legal Aid Clinic, the Record Co-op, the Student Book Exchange and the SA Travel Bureau as viable SA clubs. Nominations and elections to the SA Executive Committee were also brought up during Tuesday’s meeting. Each nominee gave a brief speech before the Assembly, and members were then instructed to vote to fill the two vacant seats on the 11-man Executive Committee. The new committee members are Bruce Lang and Art LaLonde. Page two . The Spectrum . Friday, 18 October 1974 The Alliance of Consumers and Taxpayers (ACT)-Sharp is a developing organization that hopes to give individuals a way to get things done. “We want to build an organization that can work with individuals on a people-to-people basis,” explained Sandy Stoyle, an active member of the group. “If someone wants a stop sign on their corner, we want to help them. Rather than us doing it for them, we’d like a ‘let’s work together’ attitude,” Ms. Stoyle said. Still in its formative stages, the group grew out of a succeesful venture. Instead of leaving the funding of the proposed Buffalo Convention Center to the city government, the group initiated a referendum which has shifted some of the financial burden to Erie County and some of the nearby hotel owners by means of a “bed tax.” decreased by an average of 45 percent, Ms. Stoyle noted. Senior Citizens active in ACT-Sharp brought the topic of utility rates to the group last winter. Feasibility study “We tried working with the Utilities Service Commission, but we found that you need a scorecard to tell the difference between them and the utility companies,” Ms. Stoyle added. The group is presently circulating petitions that would get either the city or the county to do a feasibility study, she said. Ms. Stoyle estimates that there are now 200 to 300 active members of ACT-Sharp. The organization has spread to all parts of Erie County. It is comprised almost entirely of volunteers, but for its initial stages, two professional organizers were hired, whose salaries come from the proceeds of a Bingo game run by 80 volunteers.

On three occasions this season, the team has gone out for post-game meals after a home contest, at the expense of the team budget. The budget line for home game meals was specifically cut from the soccer budget last spring, according to Warren Breisblatt, former chairman of the Student Athletic Review Board (SARB). There has been some confusion, however, as to whether the item was actually cut or not. Mr. Breisblatt claims his office sent a memo to Athletic Department personnel after the budget was cut last spring stating that no funds were to be spent on post-game meals after home games. But SA has no record of that communication, nor does Athletic Deparment business manager Howard Daniels. Theoretically, if the item had been cut, it would have appeared in the form of a sharply decreased contractual services line within the soccer budget. Mr. Breisblatt claims the budget activated by the SA Executive Committee last spring reflected this reduction. However, Athletic Director Harry Fritz contends he did not receive a line-by-line budget, but only a total figure from SA. Budget not finalized Dr. Fritz and other members of the athletic department have always insisted on maintaining professional control over their budgets. Refuting claims that the athletic deparment violated its budget lines, he stressed, “We have not even completed the final draft (of this year’s budget] yet.” SA treasurer Sal Napoli feels the Athletic Department cannot justify spending in this manner while it has been SA president Frank Jackalone is uncertain about what will happen with the bills that have accrued (total for the three meals comes to more than $300). “We have two choices,” he said. “We can not pay the bills, though I doubt that, and the situation fixes itself. Or we can pay them and take some other kind of action to rectify this. In either case, I’m going to issue a policy statement declaring that there are to be no more meals after home games,” he concluded. Never told Soccer coach Sal Esposito claims he was never told by anyone not to have meals after home games. “As far as I’m concerned, I’ve done nothing wrong,” he said, after being informed of the controversy. “I’ve stayed' within my budget. I have requested things from my business manager and they have been approved. If 1 had been told not to do this, do you think they would approve it?” Mr. Esposito has a document from Associate Athletic Director Ed Muto informing him only of his total budget figure, which makes no further stipulations. “I’m working under the premise that I’ve got a total figure and that I’m to make my own cuts,” the soccer coach explained, reaffirming his department’s insistence on executing its own professional judgment on these issues. Mr. Napoli’s accusation, that the meal costs themselves were exhorbitant, was sharply disputed by Mr. Esposito, who said, “We put the kids through so much, a good meal is the least they deserve.” The department occasionally justifies meals on the basis that it is impossible for athletes on board contract to get back to their dorms after the contest in time to eat. However, that would apply in only one of the three cases, since two of the soccer games did end early enough for the players to return to their dorms. Harry Fritz Records available to students in late November by Don Eisenmann Contributing Editor College students will have complete access to all previously confidential files beginning November 19, when the “Family Education Rights and Privacy* Act” goes into effect.

If a student feels the data filed on him is inaccurate or misleading, he may request a hearing to challenge the file’s contents. The law denies third parties and most federal access to the records, unless the student has given written consent. A school that does not comply with the law may lose its federal aid. The Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) has set up an administrative office and a review board to investigate complaints of violations. HEW will also review record keeping procedures at schools. The US Office of Education is currently establishing guidelines for implementing the act. The Spectrum is published Monday.

The amendment, however, has been attacked by college administrators across the country, who feel the new law will cause a bureaucratic overload and serious ethical and practical problems relating to students’ letters of recommendation Giving students access to recommendations will make teachers less than honest in the evaluations, they claim. MacAllister Hull, Dean of the University’s Graduate School, feels the law will have a major effect on admissions policy for graduate school. “Recommendations are a major part of problems for educators. “Should for prior confidentiality.” Senator records written two or three years Buckley’s position, he claimed, before the law was enacted be would probably be to leave opened?” he queried, recommendations open to the “considering the violation of student unless he agrees to waive privacy of tne reports.

Logistics Walter Kunz, associate Dean of Undergraduate Education, feels that although the new law “might create a logistics problem if a lot of students want to "see their records,” it would be beneficial because students should know if something negative is written about them. “Faculty will back off, not write recommendations at all or write statements of no consequence,” claimed E.J. Martell, director of University Placement. Admissions “will lean more heavily on standardized tests,” Dr. Martell added. “I think it’s unfair as far as students are concerned.” Dr. Martell also raised several questions about contents of the law. It does not specify if it is retroactive, or define clearly whether things like financial aid and counseling records should be included in the file, he explained. Lobbyist John Morse, director of government relations for the American Council on Education, said the law poses several No conflict Dr. Hochfieid feels there has been no conflict between the Assembly and the Faculty-Senate. The Faculty-Senate had “a fairly clear mandate” to deal with the educational program which, by law, is the responsibility of the faculty, he explained. The Faculty-Senate also serves as the faculty’s voice in University-wide affairs. Dr. Hochfieid emphasized, adding that the Faculty-Senate “is not willing to see other bodies encroaching upon its prerogatives.” But there have been “no special conflicts,” Dr. Hochfieid said. "The Assembly has minded its own business. Its problem is finding out what its business is." Graduate Student Association (GSA) President Tony Schamel agreed with Dr. Hochfield’s assessment, but offered a more optimistic view of the Assembly’s future He said the body “has not determined what was business for the Assembly.” Because representatives to the Assembly’s Executive Committee were not the presidents, chairpersons, or directors of their respective bodies, but merely representatives, Mr. Schamel feels “they can’t speak strongly” for their organizations. Reorganization planned Mr. Schamel supports Mr. Saleh’s proposal, outlined in a letter written to President Ketter on September 27, to disband the present Assembly and replace it with a Council of University Chairmen, composed of the heads of the constituent bodies. He said the “concept” of the Assembly is good, but the body is “looking for things to do.” SA President Frank Jackalone said he supported a reorganized Executive Committee, but insisted on faculty-student-administration parity. He asserted: “If the Assembly is to be saved it has to be a much smaller body of around 20 to 25 people.” The Assembly, scheduled to meet October 17, will consider a resolution proposed by Assembly Executive Committee member Michael Metzger to accept Mr. Saleh’s proposal with the amendment that “This Council shall consist of the Chairmen, or Presidents, of the constituent bodies presently represented on the University Assembly, or their designees.” Friday, 18 October 1974 The Spectrum Page three . . �Some successes Many schools work to establish viable campus governments by Don Eisenmann Several universities and colleges across the state have attempted, and in some cases succeeded, in establishing an effective and responsive campus-wide government that represents every constituency. The State University of New York (SUNY) system’s 1972 master plan, which established guidelines for university governance, recommended that “University-wide advisory bodies representing faculty, students, and non-teaching professionals be designated or strengthened for the purpose of formulating and communicating to the Chancellor the views of all prime constituents.” The master plan also pointed out that while some bodies, like the Faculty-Senates, participate significantly in formulating university policy, little progress has been made in establishing a “comprehensive organizational pattern through which all major constituent groups of the University have a responsible voice at all levels.” Since then, though, university governance has been established or revamped on several campuses. College senate The Stale University College at Buffalo created the College Senate in 1971 which its bylaws define as “the official agency through which the faculty and students engage in the governance of the College.” Its major areas of concern include curriculum, standards for admission and graduation, tenure, appointment, promotion, and termination. It also deals with budget matters and academic planning. The Senate’s 50 members consist of 15 faculty, 12 students, the President and vice-presidents, and several other administrators. L. Ster, President of Buffalo State’s student government, described the College Senate as the primary governing body on campus, but feels it is not an exceptionally effective organization. “I don’t believe it’s the best way to run a college. The students have no real bargaining power,” Ms. Ster said, explaining that the basic problem is that students haven’t been effective in pushing for academic concerns. Since students make up over one fourth of the membership of the Senate, they could become an effective force if they got organized into a unified group, Ms. Ster explained. Joint effort Basically, she said, faculty and students have worked together on most issues, although there are a few faculty who resent sharing the power of governance with students. For the most part, she feels, students and faculty have more in common in terms of goals than students and administrators. Ms. Ster believes the strongest threat to university Passport/Application Photos UNIVERSITY PHOTO 355 Norton Hall Tues., Wed., Thurs.; 10 a.m —5 p.m come from faculty unions, which are exerting an increasing influence in university affairs. “Students should also develop unions and develop a way of using tuition as a bargaining tool,” she said. “They’re the consumers of education, the ones that pay for it.” The State University College At New Paltz has a College Assembly, composed of 50 percnet faculty and 50 percnet students. It is generally regarded as an ineffective body. Frank Tramontana, a member of the student government at New Paltz, feels it hasn’t been effective in governing the college. “It hasn’t met at all this year and 1 haven’t seen them deal with anything effectively,” he said. The biggest problem is apathy, on the part of both students and faculty. “People just aren’t interested,” he lamented. governance has Contributing Editor Ineffective assembly “There has got to be some working with the faculty but 1 don’t know how to do it,” Mr. Tramontana went on. Faculty care even less than students go about government, he said, but some are outraged that students have a voice in determining such things as tenure. The State University of New York at Albany has a University Senate, which Mr. Gibson, the chairperson, describes as the primary legislative and advisory body on campus. It has 100 members, of which 48 are faculty, and 33 students. The rest are administrators and non-teaching professionals. Mr. Gibson feels the Senate is an “effective means of governance because it creates a forum for all members of the University so that one body can represent all interests.” While he admits that the Senate Irtfe taken positions as a threat to governance and feels that more faculty support the Senate than the union. The State University of New York at Binghamton presently has a divided system for the University as a whole, with a separate faculty and student senates. For three years, from 1969 to 1972, it had a University Assembly which represented graduate and undergraduate students, faculty and administratiors. After that time it was reviewed, and although supported by administrators and students, it was rejected by faculty. Voting blocs Peter Comeau, a member of the student government at Binghamton, feels it was rejected by the faculty because the student members voted in blocs and faculty members feared the power this gave them. Harper College, the undergraduate division of Binghamton, has a university-wide governance system called the Harpur College Council, composed of 55 percent faculty, 12 percent administrators, and 33 percent students. It meets once a week to make academic policy, approve new courses and evaluate programs. Mr. Comeau feels it is an effective organization because there is no bloc voting. Each member votes as an individual, he said. by Terry Koler Spectrum Staff Writer The growth and the benefits of the New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG) were discussed by Donald Ross, executive director of NYPIRG and a Ralph Nader associate, at the Ellicott complex Tuesday night. Mr. Ross explained how the need for an organization that both involved students and benefitted the public had arisen. “Nader tried to interest students in investigative work through his speeches, and while the students on the campuses listened and were generally moved, they lacked the organization to go out and affect any change,” he said. “A program called Student Action Arms was established, but it failed because of a lack of response.” Mr. Ross continued. “P1RG was formed in order to solve continuous problems, 12 months a year.” For PIRG to be a success, it has to be a “marriage” between the investigative responsibility of . The Spectrum Friday, 18 October 1974 . Voice in hiring There is presently an effort at Queens to get students on personnel and budget committees, so that students will have an actual voice in who gets hired and fired and what money gets allocated where Ms. Szoboda said the Senate is very effective and gives students a strong voice in governance. Most faculty, she said, are willing to cooperate, but a few resent sharing their power in matters they consider their own jurisdiction. Michelle Smith, National Affairs Coordinator of the State University at Buffalo’s Student Association, feels that the trend across the country is toward university-wide governance because “administrators and faculty have recognized student responsibility.” She said students, faculty and staff will have to work together because cooperation is the “only intelligent and responsible way to govern a university for the benefit of those who attend.” Bob Kirkpatrick, vice president of the Student Association of the State University (SASU), hopes to have students concerned with pushing for “this kind of governance,” because it is more reflective of the people it is supposed to govern. He sees faculty unionization as a threat to university governance, and pointed out that one of the priorities in the 1975 legislative session is to get laws passed to make sure the power of the union does not encroach upon university governance. Faculty control Andy Hugos, information research director of SASU, feels university government will be moving back to faculty control, because the faculty, if ia disagreement with something the university governance might pass, can bring it up as a term of contract. Since students have no say in faculty contracts, the faculty will regain the final say. “Governing bodies will have less impact as issues become conditions of contract,” Mr. Hugos said. Constantine Yeracaris, head of the local United University Professionals here, feels unions should protect their constituents only in such matters as job security, promotion, and salaries. University governance should not deal with conditions of employment, nor should the union deal wjth curricular or program planning, he said. “I don’t see a problem,” he said. “The local union leadership is very effective in watching that union activities do not overlap into areas of governance, and that university governance does not get involved in areas that should be restricted to the union.” NYPIRG’s Ross asks for student action 3 photos for S3 ($.50 per additional) Page four “Its an effective body,” noted Mr. Comeau, “in that what has to be done is handled.” He feels a university-wide governance is better than a divided system, because “we don’t have to rely on the whims of faculty, and faculty begin to respect students once they begin to work with them.” Queens College has what many consider to be the best governance system in the country. Its Academic Senate is composed of two-thirds faculty and one-third students, and has a setup similar to that of the U.S. Congress. Diane Szoboda, a student member of the Senate, explained that the president usually listens to the decisions of the Senate because he knows they reflect a consensus in the College. research and the use of the law in effective ways so change can be made, Mr. Ross said. The initial idea for PIRG was to hire a professional staff of lawyers and researchers to work for the students. Pessimism At first there was some resistance to the idea. “Pessimists said it wouldn’t work because no lawyer or trained researcher would work for students, especially since the pay wasn’t very good and the hours were not the best,” Mr. Ross explained. “All of the objections have been struck down with the demonstration that the program can and does work, however,” he declared. “Campus idealism thrives in PIRG in spite of the lack of faculty support,” he noted. To attract more students, special accredited studies were set up. Ross spoke of the Mr. accomplishments of PIRG’s in other states. In Oregon, PIRG cannot lobby, or litigate. But investigations into the practices of - used car dealers showed that the “bait and switch” tactic was used to induce customers into buying cars they didn't really want. The Oregon PIRG released its findings and sthe state’s Attorney General filed suit against the offending dealers. No warning New In investigated prescription showed PIRG York, the sale of drugs. Studies drugs were being that prescribed without the proper warning that if combined with certain other drugs, the results could prove fatal. A study was also made in Michigan into the substitution of less expensive drugs for the original drug prescribed by the physician. New York is the first state to establish more than one PIRG office and hopes are that the rest of the nation will follow suit. “PIRG has moved in the direction of nuclear power investigation because of the major commitments made by the big companies in that field,” Mr. Ross said. “PIRG will go head to head against them and win,” predicted. “P1RG is also involved he in women’s rights,” he added. And in two or three years, PIRG will force the State Legislature into public visibility, too. “The public 'doesn't realize the life and death control that it has on our lives." he said. Returnable bottles now involved in to ban legislation non-returnable beverage bottles, to forbid the illegal practices PIRG is securing connected with hearing aid sales to the elderly, and to permit voter registration drives on campuses. Due to a technical problem caused by the change in primary dates, it is now legally impossible for college campuses to have voter registration drives. Mr. Ross stressed the need for active student participation in these efforts. “The best way to learn about the problems of our society is to be involved first hand. PIRG offers a learning experience that a classroom could never offer.” �Commentar Primaries in need ofreform nothing was actually done to change the statute. There were reports that Senator Humphrey could not run an effective campaign in New York because just to make voters aware of the names of the delegates committed to him would have cost $300,000 to $400,000. There were accusations that the Republican-controlled State Legislature was not interested in amending the law for 1972 because Richard Nixon did not have a primary opponent in New York and the law would thus hamper only the Democrats. It was thought that the Republicans, knowing Mr. Nixon would not be running in 1976, would change the law for the anticipated Republican primary. However, with President Ford expected to seek a full four-year term, and the likelihood of a Democratic free-for-all, a by Joseph R. Esposito City Editor In 1972, there was an intense but typically short-lived attack directed at an obscure section of the New York State Election Law which deals with the Presidential preference primaries. Democrats who went to the polls to choose delegates to their national convention found that the names of the delegates were not identified in any way with those of the candidates they may have supported, and that consequently, the names of George McGovern and Hubert Humphrey were nowhere to be found on the confusing ballot. In the days before and after the June primary, newspapers and politicians criticized the law for not listing candidates’ names on the ballot. But, like much of what is said in an election campaign, MOD STYLES OR GUYS & GALS! the real goods at discount prices.

WASHINGTON SURPLUS CENTER "TENT CITY" 853 1515 Miter. Empire, BenkAmer. I 730 Main, at Tupper - KHr. free parking Republican legislature might not be so inclined to change this ridiculous law. Ridiculous law It is a ridiculous law for several reaons. Most obviously, the law ensures that once the voter is in the voting booth, there is no way for him to vote for the Presidential candidate of his choice unless he knows beforehand the names of the delegates who are supporting “his candidate.” If the voter has not memorized the names or carried some informational literature into the booth with him, he cannot know if the delegates he is voting for actually represent his President preference. As a result, this “stupid” law, as many voters called it in 1972, confuses and discourages many people and may cause even lower turnouts than usual in primaries. Instead of making voting easier and less mysterious, this statute serves to test the memories of New York voters, and to produce election results in which the winner is chosen by an even smaller minority than in most primary contests. Officials unconcerned The economics of political campaigns makes the law even more undesirable. With new spending laws going into effect, expenditures for such essentially uninformative literature as lists of delegate names is certainly wasteful and may well push campaign spending to its limits. Those members of State government who deal with the election law are neither particularly informed about nor concerned with the situation. They say they wait for suggestions to come in before acting to change this tricky and esoterick branch of the law. But they claim there have been few complaints about it. Some feel that the law should remain unchanged. They assert that to place the candidate’s name in conjunction with the delegates would inextricably bind the delegates to the candidate regardless of his status by the time of the convention. For example, if a slate of delegates were listed as supporting Candidate X in the primary, and Candidate X dropped out of the race before the convention, New York might go into the convention with no viable delegates at all. This argument, that New York’s political clout would be diminished at the national conventions binding delegates to candidates weeks before the convention, just does not hold water. Other states have laws which make it easy for voters to know who the delegates on the ballot are supporting without tying the hands of the delegates at the convention. Just because New York officials cannot write an adequate law is no reason why New Yorkers should not have a law which makes elections less mysterious to the voter. This reluctance to act on the part of State government may be symbolic of the State’s neglect of the nuts and bolts of a democratic electoral system. The State Legislature, whether Republican or Democratic, should act immediately to free New York State from this stupid law by 1976.

The new ride board will supplement the University-wide ride board on the second floor of Norton Union. It will be located on the first floor's large bulletin board, near the Fillmore Room. Bad experience Paul Kade, chairman of Norton House Council, approves of the idea, but expressed doubts because a similar ride board two years ago failed due to some “ugly incidents. Some girls were molested by the driver,” he explained. Students wanting to use the new board must first obtain a special card from the Norton information desk, Mr. Kade said. After filling out the card, the student must return it to the desk along with his or her I.D. The card is then validated. This procedure ensures that Norton Union is not liable for any damages that may occur. Six other state colleges use this plan, and there have been no incidences of mistreatment of rides, according to Cecilia Soboleski, chairperson of the SA ride board subcommittee. The ride board will be funded through the SA office of National Affairs. It will be checked each week and all outdated cards will be removed. SA has been given permission to draw up final plans for the project with the assistance of Albert Ermanovics (who is in charge of the Norton information desk). A written proposal must then be approved by Mr. Kade and Robert Henderson, assistant director of Norton Union. SUNY government: Students skeptical over participation by Barbara Ranagan Spectrum Staff Writer Despite a recent State University Board of Trustees resolution opening its meetings to students, student leaders are skeptical of the extent to which they will actually be allowed to participate in the Trustees’ deliberations. The resolution which permits representatives of student, faculty, alumni organizations as well as administration officials to attend regular Board meetings and local College Council meetings, was adopted last April 24. SA President Frank Jackalone, welcomed the Board’s motion, calling it “the first step toward meaningful student participation in University affairs.” He was careful to note, however, that the student representatives would not be able to vote. GSA President Tony Schamel, the recently-elected student representative to the Council of the University at Buffalo, said, “If student participation proves to be a successful attempt by the University Council, I don’t see why the University Council would not support full student membership.” Participation might be extended, he said, “if we can demonstrate responsibility and maturity.” Mr. Schamel pointed out that firm guidelines for student participation have not yet been established, though. Background Mrs. Maurice T. Moore, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, said that the resolution was a response to the Cook-Pisani bill which would with full voting have placed a student and a faculty member privileges on each College Council. After passing overwhelmingly in the State Assembly, however, and even after strong lobbying by the Student Association of the State University (SASU), the bill was killed in the Senate Rules Committee. Dan D. Kohane, president of both SASU and the State University Student Assembly, is the Statewide student representative to the Board of Trustees. In commenting on his role, he said, “they (the Trustees) welcomed each constituency to take part fully in discussion.” He noted, however, that he had been excluded from the executive session of the Board during the September 24-25 meeting. — — Unsatisfactory SASU Legislative Director Ray Glass said, “We don’t consider this to be satisfactory by any means.” He pointed out that crucial decisions are often made in executive session, explaining “the resolution does not preclude closing these sessions to student observers.” Mr. Glass added that SASU will conduct another lobbying effort this year in the State Legislature to gain full voting membership for students on the Board of Trustees and College Councils. Despite the past failures of such lobbying efforts, Mr. Glass is encouraged by the shape of upcoming gubernatorial elections. In a SASU interview, frontrunner Hugh Carey has pledged to support legislation that would introduce full student membership on the Board and on local College Councils. Page six . The Spectrum .

NEW YORK 14622 �Peace Corps looking ahead Rockefeller calk for immediate hearings by Dene Dube Feature Editor Vice President-designate Nelson A. Rockefeller has asked the Senate Rules Committee and House Judiciary Committee to immediately begin hearings on his nomination because he feels he is being tried in the press without an opportunity to present all the facts. Senator Howard Cannon and Congressman Peter Rodino, respectively the chairmen of the Senate and House Committees, have agreed to discuss the matter with their colleagues to determine whether resumption of the Senate hearings will be possible by the end of this week, according to a statement by Mr. Rockefeller. In a letter sent to both committee chairmen, the former governor said his nomination was being evaluated “on the basis of selective leaks from my income tax returns and gift tax reutrns, all of which were submitted to the committee in confidence.” Mr. Rockefeller was referring to disclosures that he had made large financial gifts and loans to friends and associates totaling approximately $2 million. These included 18 former and present public officials and staff members. Gifts The gifts included: fifty-thousand dollars Kissinger when he left Rockefeeler’s employ as foreign policy advisor to take over the same job in the Nixon Administration in 1969. eighty-six thousand dollars to former New York State official L. Judson Morehouse, a long-time Republican state chairman and Rockefeller backer, who was sentenced to 2-3 years in prison in 1966 on bribery and unlawful fee charges arising from a state liquor authority scandal.

Mr. Ronan served as Rockefeller’s personal secretary was many years, and for Public payroll subsequently appointed by the governor to head the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) an $85,000 a year job. He gave up the post in May of this year to assume chairmanship of the Port Authority.

Identity crisis Teaching English as a foreign language in an all-girl high school in Tunisia from 1971 to 1973, Ms. Smallcombe encountered an “identity crisis’’ as a woman. She had wanted to become part of the Arab society, but Arab women were still given subordinate roles, and Ms. Smallcombe was used to a freer role. She resolved this personal conflict by acting conservatively in public life and maintaining her own values in her private life. Trying to “open the eyes” of her students to women’s liberation, she fortunately did not meet any resentment from their parents. Many of the Tunisians were “shocked,” she said, that she had left her family to come to a foreign country for two years, but they accepted many of her liberal attitudes because she was a foreigner. She also felt warmly received by many hospitable families. worse shape than himself. Commitments to the Peace Corps and Vista are limited to two and one year commissions, respectively, because of the idea that the volunteer is only a catalyst in the community, and not in a place to make a position for himself in the community, according to Mr. Riley. He was granted an extension, however, enabling him to work for two years in Legal Services. After receiving his bachelor’s degree in history in 1971, he joined Vista. During the two weeks of formal training and orientation to urban community work, Mr. Riley was selected to work as a legal assistant in New and rent money. In Tunisia, this was considered a middle class income. Peace Corps officials want their volunteers to live the same life as the people around them, explained Ms. Smallcombe. Volunteers are not permitted to take extra cash with them. The Peace Corps also put away $75 a month for Ms. Smallcombe to use after her service. She received 24 days paid vacation, along with all transportation and medical expenses as well.

The second month Friday, 18 October 1974 The Spectrum Page seven . . �Editorial 1University governance . . . After a year of trying to define its jurisdiction amidst a University structure that places authority squarely in the hands of the President and Faculty-Senate, the University Assembly has come to a dead end. Instead of evolving into a forum where common efforts could be made to solve common problems, the Assembly has spent the last 15 months groping for direction and learning that established bases of power have no intention of surrendering their influence in the interests of university-wide governance. In a sense, governance was nearly doomed from the start. It had been widely anticipated, at the time of the passage of the Articles of Governance, that each constituency's unique interests and values would not make it easy for a centralized organization to take common stances on specific issues. Consequently, the Articles were deliberately written in a manner that was both vague and practical; the actual wording did not define the Assembly's jurisdiction, but their passage was ensured because they posed no threat to any existing governments. It has become clear that University-wide governance cannot work within its current structure, and that it may very well be unworkable under any setup. Assembly chairman Dave Saleh, recognizing the need for wholesale restructuring if the body is to survive, has proposed that the present Assembly be replaced by a smaller Council of University Chairmen, composed of the Presidents or heads of each campus organization. While Mr. Saleh's idea is a sound one and will diffuse much of the confusion and disarray that has decreased the Assembly's chances of becoming a viable body, the newlyformed Council could also face many of the same jurisdictional problems. For example, having one representative from each group seems more equitable on paper than having twice as many faculty as undergraduates, but each member of the Council would still carry the full weight of his constituent group. The dilemna of one group encroaching on another's "territory" would not be eliminated, since faculty would still oppose giving a University-wide body a say in legislating academic programs. Unless concessions are made, the only issues likely to come before the group will be those of an extremely gerteral nature. But the Assembly has nothing to lose and everything to gain by passing the Saleh proposal, and the newly-constituted Council might actually give new hope to future University- wide governance on this campus. . . and a student voiceshare the The reluctance of campus constituencies to decision-making process with each other, as demonstrated by the University Assembly, has underscored the need for students to search for independent ways of bringing their influence to bear on University-wide decision making. Instead of dilly-dallying with parliamentary procedure and obscure amendments to its constitution, the Student Assembly should come out of hibern Jtion and begin taking stances on the real issues namely academics. For example, stjdents are prevented by law from voting on a faculty member's reappointment because a clause in the United University Professional (UUP) contract entitles them to "peer review." Why doesn't SA, in addition to fighting for increased representation on administration and faculty committees, form its )wn review task force on tenure and reappointment? This group could independently study an instructor's qualifications and issue a full report to the academic departme its, the President's office and the campus media. Such an effort proved successful last year after James Lawler was arbitrarily denied reappointment. Why doesn't SA, in anticipation of a Faculty-Senate vote sometime this year on the issue of credit versus contact hours, form committees to study the administration's claim that the four-course load has weakened the University's requests for more faculty? It should also investigate claims by some administrators that the four course load has led to a decline in the quality of education. We realize that some SA members have displayed a sensitivity toward academics by recruiting academic clubs and taking action on thj Student Course and Teacher Evaluation (SCATE), which had been largely neglected for the past three years. But a more exhaustive effort is needed if students are to have a real say in University-wide academic affairs. — Page eight. The Spectrum* Friday, 18 October 1974 a : **■* - ••■.‘Vf: 'WHATlVIt ILSI YOU FIND, I KNOW NOTHIN® ABOUT IT, OR AFOIOOIZI FOR ITI' TRB from Washington October 18, 1974 Halfway through President Ford’s speech to Congress last week on the economy he remarked. “Make no mistake. We do have a real energy shortage.” Several of us looked at each other and exclaimed, “What do you know.” It was as electrifying as a damp blotter. To his credit, Mr. Ford when it came to taxes, did not use the old Nixon cliche in getting over the hurdle. One could almost see the former president looking up brightly, smirking, and observing, “The easy thing to do would be to avoid the subject.” Jerry Ford was more direct. He admitted advisers had urged him to delay the matter till after the election. The crowd squirmed a bit, knowing what was coming. He paused, his voice dropped, and he added quietly, “But I shall not play politics with America’s future.” It was a touching instant, there was a little applause, and it passed into history that Mr. Ford was making a mild gesture toward soaking-the-rich. Not very much of the latter, heaven knows. The Ford advisers put together a crash program that has some good points and some weak ones and is better in what it urges than in what it does. “It’s not a block-buster, it’s not an instant cure,.’ Treasury secretary Simon, looking like a successful Wall Street broker with a near-genius IQ explained to the press before the speech, giving the mood between the lines: We Have in the United States more government than we need; more government than we are willing to pay for! This is a balanced program, minimizing government controls. Controls just make inflation worse.” And so we are all going voluntarily to cut back on gasoline and on heat, and wear WIN buttons in our lapels, and help subsidize new homes and maybe even the unemployed, by a five percent surtax on income taxes of families with incomes above $15,000 (to raise $2.6 billion), and five percent surtax on corporate income taxes (to raise $2.1 billion). The poor will get maybe $ 1.6 billion in tax releif, and the corporations, through a liberalized investment tax credit, $2.7 billion. That means that the tax benefits to corporations will more than offset their surtax. This column will hold off final judgment for a while, however, and see how things work out. Mr. Ford has opened a few holes in the one-dimensional economics that helped get us into this mess sole reliance by conservatives on — tight money and budget-cutting and the unexpressed hope that maybe a little recession would teach those unions a lesson. We have a hunch that as stagflation continues Mr. Ford will find it necessary to put into effect other optional proposals, and that the “old-time religion” will sprout heresies. Primarily, it was lack of urgency that was disappointing. When the garrison is attacked, the sentry roars the alarm. This was only a mild, “Time to wake up, please.” Meanwhile, Congress has hurried off to campaign, President Ford is making a couple of out-of-town political speeches a week, and Nelson Rockefeller, the still uncrowned crown prince, is waiting confirmation. Vice President Rockefeller, if confirmed, will be the most powerful figure ever to sit in that anomalous office; the story of his largesse to aides, associates and public officials shows how money helps. He gave a going-away present of $50,000 to his former policy adviser, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, in 1969, when the latter joined the federal government. He contributed generously all to a score of Republican congressmen perfectly legitimately, it would appear, in the absence of any legal limit. One Rockefeller adviser, William Ronan, now chairman of the New York and New Jersey Port Authority, got $550,000 on leaving the princely service. He is also lavish, of course, in civic and national philanthropies, in accordance with the fine family tradition of his remarkable clan. If Rocky and there is a lot of ever gets to be president talk now that Mr. Ford might retire after two we can study years in view of his wife’s illness the power of presidential office in conjunction with great wealth. Just the other day, we watched the AP news ticker chew out the following items in close succession, feeding some kind of hunger in the American soul: —“As he walked back to the White House from worship service at St. John’s Episcopal Church, Ford told newsmen, ‘We’re in very good shape,’ in preparation for the national televised and broadcast anti-inflation address” . . . —“Tall, blond and wearing a new red chiffon dress and her mother’s borrowed long white gloves, 17-year-old Susan Ford made her public debut as a White House hostess before Washington’s diplomatic corps . .” -“The Fords have a new addition to their White House family a golden retriever named Liberty. After church Sunday morning, President Ford in his shirtsleeves, and Susan, in blue jeans, brought Liberty onto the south lawn for the - — — . - benefit of photographers . . This kind of thing goes on all the time; the presidency, you know. Everybody loves a fairy-tale and the White House life is a fairy-tale for millions. This is all right within reason; the presidency is a unifying force, like the flag. Mr. Ford is legitimately trying to harness the force now in the war on inflation. But where do you draw the line? Probably no other democracy is so vulnerable to a charismatic demagogue who has won the presidency, let us say, in time of turmoil, and follows the Nixon guideposts. That fine lady Margafet Chase Smith, onetime senator from Maine, suggests a constitutional amendment to provide a special election in the event that a president is impeached or resigns in the face of impeachment proceedings. Many Americans are concerned, she says, about a situation in which a discredited ex-President made the personal selection of his successor and received a sweeping pardon from the man he chose. Some will ponder the idea as Mr. Ford makes his dramatic personal explanation of the pardon to the House Judiciary Committee. �'Harry and Tonto': on the road, building a new life by Randi Schnur "I've been thinking about Lear these past he gave up his real estate, too. few weeks Know what happened to him?

Harry, the retired teacher whose New York apartment building is torn down to make room for one of those ubiquitous "fancy new parking lots," is about as close to being the stuff of which Shakespearean heroes are made as Paul Mazursky's film Harry and Tonto is to being a cinema classic. But Harry's implied analogy is not quite as overdramatic as it seems; both he and the old king must look to their now-grown children for support, and both (although for quite different reasons) find their arrangements ... to be vastly inadequate. Despite his occasional flashes of thinly-veiled self-pity, Harry's story is emphatically not a tragedy. While Lear's life was blown to pieces like a crumbling house in a hurricane, Harry builds a new framework for his life, even venturing west of Chicago for the first time in his 70-odd years. On the road Thrown out on the street (literally when won't vacate his apartment willingly, policemen carry him out to the sidewalk, — he armchair and all) by what his old neighbor Jacobs calls "those capitalist bastards," Harry picks up Tonto, his cat, and goes off to visit his son Bert's Emmm y \j]i q\ ; jy family in the suburbs. When their quarters begin to seem much too close, Harry migrates to the home of daughter Shirley in Chicago, where he again meets up with Bert's son Norman. A thorough nebbish, Norman nevertheless aspires to greater things, but he has just cheated on his macrobiotic diet and broken his vow of silence. Norman and Ginger (a runaway along for the ride, whose age changes to fit each new situation but who finally admits to being all of 15) accompany Harry out west, eventually leaving him to join a commune in Colorado (and a rather unappetizing, patronizing 15-year-old Melanie Mayron's Ginger turns out to be). The ancient hitchhiker and his feline fellow traveller continue out to California. There they find and help Eddie, the third and least self-sufficient child, who zips up his leather jacket in the hot Los Angeles sun as if trying to smother all painful recollections of how far beyond his means he lives. Conflicting dimensions Harry and Tonto has no real plot; it is less a story than a diary of the title characters' journey across America. The constants in its series of vignettes are Harry's wise, gentle, easygoing nature and ugly two-dimensionality of nearly everyone else he comes into contact with. As played by Art Carney, Harry is something very rare in American films: an old man who is neither an inhumanly omniscient patriarch nor an inhumanly idiotic, senile, doddering incompetent. Although co-stars like Ellen Burstyn (Shirley), Larry Hagman (Bert), Chief Dan George (an old medicine man Harry rooms with in a Las Vegas jail), and Geraldine Chaplin (a former lover who once danced with Isadora Duncan in Paris, and now glides across the floor of an Indiana nursing home) have certainly been known to do more than hold their own in previous roles, they seem never to attempt an escape from Mazursky's cartoonish characterizations. With a twitch of the lip much too subtle to be called a grimace, Carney expresses more emotion than the rest of the cast put together can manage to wring out of Mazursky's and Josh Greenfield’s entire script. Keeping solid There are points in the film at which Carney's character might easily have fallen as flat as the others'. Harry's conversations with his best friend ("Who's this, Tonto?" and he sings a line "Meow" "That's right, Tonto, Bing Crosby!") could have made cartoons out of both cat and master. But Tonto is no more intelligent or emotional than any other cat, and Harry is perfectly well aware of that fact. Their — — Magic Lantern relationship is sentimental without being either supernatural or mawkish. When Tonto dies in a Los Angeles animal hospital at the ripe old age of 11 (77 by human standards, his owner tells us), Harry's calmly whispered "So long, kiddo" exposes his soul more clearly than any bit of business Mazursky dreamed up himself. There are beautiful moments in Harry and Harry's turn around the room with Tonto — Jessie is the film's most moving and they all belong to Art Carney. sequence Many of its most pathetic scenes are his as well; the "drunk and disorderly" old man arrested for urinating on a Las Vegas sidewalk reminds us of the senile stereotype he had seemed so good at avoiding. The sophisticated contemporary caricatures Paul Mazursky gave us in films like Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice and Blume in Love have lost much of their wit here, and the burden of the movie has been thrown on Carney's shoulders. He handles it beautifully. Jay Boyar, whose space this usually is, is sick. ex-dancer — �'Evenings for New Music' Creative Associates will present the opening of the eleventh season of "Evenings for New Music” on Sunday, Oct. 20, at 8 at the Albright Knox Art Gallery.

Albee describes Peter as "a man in his early forties, neither fat nor gaunt, neither handsome nor homely. He wears tweeds, smokes a pipe, carries horn-rimmed glasses. Although he is moving into middle age, his dress and his manner would suggest a man younger." Jerry enters (Albee describes him as "a man in his late thirties, not poorly dressed, but carelessly. What was once a trim and lightly muscled body has begun to go to fat; and while he is no longer he handsome, it is evident that he once was — — ... great weariness") and the two begin talking.

I refer to nothing other than the genius of Stevie Wonder. Stevie's career started thirteen years ago when he was brought to the attention of Motown at age ten. By the time he was twelve, his album Fingertips had created a sensation a blind baby boy genius. Although his talent could never be suppressed, the restrictions of the Motown sound kept him like an iceberg, nine-tenths of his genius under wraps. Hits like “My Cherie Amour", "For Once In My Life", and "Uptight, Outtasite" are indicative of the period. Finally, when he was twenty-one (1971), he legally received all his childhood earnings, moved out and did some heavy thinking. The result was an independently produced album, totally his. Music of My Mind, the first of the outstanding chain he has produced since. He plays all the instruments, he wrote it, arranged it, helped engineer it, and most of all, it was his conception entirely. His innovative techniques, notably his use of the synthesizer, startled, shocked, and brought the music world to its feet, In 1972, Talkin' Book came out and Wonder went on tour with the Stones. His stage act and the album were both sensational. Three of the songs on the LP went on to become top of the chart hits; "Superwoman", "Superstition", and "Sunshine of My Life". Then, on August 6, 1973, Stevie was involved in a head on collision with a logging truck in North Carolina he lay near death in a coma. Luckily for the rest of the world, he survived. Not only did he survive, but only nine months later, fully recovered, he released Inner Visions. Wonder is now a recognized and permanent fixture in the music hall of fame. Stevie has, through the shape his life has taken, developed a unique world view, dealing with the spiritual, the sublime, and the need for and possibilities of world wide love. His beliefs suffuse every song with a depth that adds to his musical brilliance and sensitivity. His new LP Fullingness' First Finale, is the latest incarnation of those — — beliefs. There is no excuse to miss this concert. Everything Stevie does is history in the making. Tickets are available at Norton and Center Ticket outlets. To put it another way if there is a perfect master, it is Stevie Wonder the perfect master of his art. —Willa Bassen Roll with Butter — — Charfsteak House I 3417 Sheridan Camilleri lecture Drive Horn* Read, Amherst Coma aa you are it SwHt — Never any tipping BOULEVARD MALL r ~ i Page ten The Spectrum Friday, 18 October 1974 . .

Vet they had the intuitive common sense, or call it blind luck, to book one of the most exciting and experimental artists in rock today Todd Rundgren. Rundgren is truly a renaissance man. He manages to cover all bases of musical production with acumen and a tireless versatility. Todd can suffle from the roles of producer, engineer, guitarist, singer-sonwriter with an uncanny ease of transformation. But tonight the ability of Rundgren's live musical presentation was the only topic in questions. Spectrum Arts Staff Its music committee The Hotel Baltimore thrived during the railroad boom of the early part of this century, being located near a major line. Now it's a seedy old place, inhabited by seedy and aged people. Like the — hotel itself, most of its residents are hanging on to some part of the past, some momento or cherished illusion. The Hotel Baltimore is scheduled for demolition soon. Elfing cavern The concert took place at Reilly Center, a euphemism for a cavernous, antiseptic gym. The trimmings and location appeared more suitable to the towering hulk of Bob Lanier sucking up rebounds than the wispy shadow of Todd Rundgren. From the onset, Rundgren seemed a celestial elf mysteriously materialized in New York's southern tier. Todd's hair was short, framing his skull, but lacking the tonsorial rainbow streaking that has become his trademark. A multi-colored Although it's less than terribly original (plot-wise, it could justifiably be called a rank steal from Saroyan's The Time of Your Life), Lanford Wilson's play The Hot L Baltimore is rather well written. Wilson draws his gang of eccentric lodgers affectionately and with considerable appeal. The pastel satin pajama outfit cloaked Todd in an ethereal manner rendering a sort of child-man Peter Pan presence. Rundgren and his band Utopia lurched into their theme song "Utopia City in My Head" and the trip was underway. The functioning of Utopia is not simply relegated to being mute side-men trumpet and to Rundgren's dictates. Rather, Utopia (Roger Powell keyboards, Moogy Klingman synthesizer, Ralph Shuckett drums) provides a bass, and Kevin Ellman keyboards, John Siegler substantial input of energy into the final product by means of exceptional soloing and writing.

He is also a good enough serious — — playwright to be able to juggle moderately serious themes while retaining his comic touch, and Old After a shaky start caused by minor techincal problems which spurred some looseness on Utopia's part, things began to congeal nicely. "The Wheel," an acoustic number featuring accordion, harmonica, trumpet, vibes, and cymbals, revealed a rich pleasant tune Comic eulogy little things about people. Wilson knows that these days are gone, that a eulogy presumes that the person in question is dead. In a gentle way, the play is hard-nosed; in an understandable way, it is sad. Fortunately, The play is worth doing, definitely. Casting Hall's current production at Buffalo State, however, leaves much to be oddly, since director desired Warren Enters is a friend of the author (Enters staged the premiere of Wilson's Lemon Sky — Studio Arena Theatre a few and went to some lengths to obtain clearance for this production. Much of Enters' cast looks glaringly amateurish; movement and gestures look very “directed," occurring with minimal evidence of motivation or at the years back) actors. problems There are also consistent comprehension by the with vocal projection As a whole, the acting is far below Casting Hall's usual standard, with a few exceptions. As the night clerk, Philip Knoerzer is quiet but effective, and very natural. Jeanne Keren's ethereal, sexuagenarian Southern belle is quite charming. And Diana Lanza has some all-too-brief moments skittering about in a penultimately sleazy pink suit and the most grotesque pair of platform shoes in recorded history. "spectacular performances all fail in different The three most ways. As "the Girl," who is unable to decide what she wants to be known as (she has regretfully discarded “Lilac Lavender"), Katy Clancy is cute, and unbearable. She'd be overdoing it if she were playing a spoiled 12-year-old, and so fails miserably as a 19-year-old whore, no matter how romantic. Jackie, a streetcorner tough with a yen for organic foods instead of shakes and fries, is played energetically by Janet Greenburg in a much too stylized way, every movement and gesture looking as if it were calculated with a micrometer coy, caliper. The plum part in Hot L is that of April Green, a wittily profane "professional trampoline" with a dash of urban earth-mother. It is the plum part because it has so many potentially funny lines (more than everyone only to segue maiestically into the rousing "International Reel." Rundgren's guitar playing on "Number One Lowest Common Denominator" was nothing short of orgasmic, stretching each lick and finally culminated in a dizzying climax.

All the I can't waits have finally turned into last.night. Did it really happen? (yes yes yes keep telling yourself and maybe you'll believe it). So here I sit, still incredibly high from the whole thing, listening to Bonnie's new album and trying to write down everything that went down. Fans, this one is for you. The Century was empty except for ushers, sound men, stage crew and a few assorted types. 7:00 and Bonnie and the band were doing a sound check. They were standing in front of this incredible backdrop maybe a scene in Paris, circa 1900. "-uh, Bonnie, could we get something with three vocals in it?—" "—ok, let's do 'Angel from Montgomery.' Jeez, my throat feels like it's got two elephant testicles ... .. - in it." She was wearing a black shirt with big pink flowers on it, and somehow with all the baroque trappings of the theater, she looked like a heroine from some Victorian novel, strawberry hair tumbling down her shoulders and all. Pre-show downs To get to the dressing rooms, you have to go up one flight of ancient narrow stairs, and then two flights of equally old metal ones. The rooms are institutional grey, cold and small. Some food laid out on a counter, people sitting around on cartons and folding chairs. —wow "—excuse me, Bonnie, could I ask you a few questions?Hey, listen, my voice is really is bad shape. We're on a fifty city tour and I'm trying to save it for the show. Then I have a TV interview after the show, but maybe if I have anything left after that—". I turn around to a black dude sitting in a chair and a freak with frizzed out shoulder length hair protruding from a forties-style, broad brimmed grey hat with a silk band." (They turned out to be Dennis Price, her drummer, and Jai Winding, the pianist/organist for both Jackson and Bonnie.) "Anybody know where Jackson is?", I ask. "Yea, he's strung out back at the hotel." "What's he strung out about?" "Everything that went wrong today." Of course, practically every song she does ends up that way through the sheer force of her vocals, even if the back-up is slow and mellow at the start. But for instance, the songes she chose from Takin" My Time are illustrative: "I Feel The Same," "Everybody's Crying Mercy," "Kokomo Blues," "Guilty" and "You've Been In Love Too Long." She said her throat was sore, and when she talked to the audience you could hear her voice cracking, but when she sang, it was, as always, clear as a bell and strong as an oncoming train. How to know how The crowd had the typical assortment of asses who obviously fantasized about hers. "Hey, Bonnie, do you know how yet?", one guy yelled out. "That's for me to know and you not to find out. (applause). What do you want, references or something? (more applause). Yea, / know how. (laughs and cheers)." One of Bonnie's many engaging qualities is her attitude about her role (or anybody's, for that matter) as a woman. Even if you haven't seen her in concert, you know from the songs she chooses to record where her head is at. Truly liberated, in the sense that she's willing to admit to the problems of both sides, while still asserting her own rights. "you said good-bye/l know it's true/ you Like "I Feel the Same" may be leaving me/ but I'm leaving you too/ you won't forget me/ or the sound of my name/ please believe I feel the same." After "Women Be Wise," a Sippie Wallace tune about not advertising your man, she said "look girls. You can advertise his faults as well as his virtues, right?" (applause). A male friend told me after the show that he didn't like her attitude. What's the matter feel threatened? — — Exits The band was possibly the best back-up I've seen her with in (except for Orleans, whom I refuse to compare with It anyone). was tight, rockin', full and deep. Each individual member was gifted both in back-up and break-taking, and many of the solos got their own justified rounds of applause. The set was planned very well, ending with Bonnie, finally standing on her feet, without the hollow body electric she had used for most of the songs (it was just right for her slide style, by the way), singing "You've Been In Love Too Long," one of her most dynamic songs. They left with an encore and a promise concert yet Slam-bang beginning The lights went out at 8:15 and the house was sold out. Jim Santella said a few words and then out they came. She started the set with "Love Me Like A Man," loud, heavy, funky, one big outrageous RUSH. Yea, Freebo was there, spiffed up in a rust leather jacket. Jai was playing gutsy keys, and she had a new lead guitarist named Will McFarland who was strumming on a forest green Strat. The number got cheers, whistles, stomps and a fitting response from the audience and entrances After a few waves at friends, stretches, joints, cigarettes and expectation rushes, the lights finally went out again. Jackson's band came on with flashlights, and the crowd roared even before the lights came back on. They started rockin' out right away, with "Red Neck screams. You could feel the energy in the air everybody was there to have a good time. The emphasis throughout the set was on the hard hitting numbers. Friend."

Which, of course, was not the case. David Lindley was wailing away on slide on that first song, but through the course of the show he proved his outrageous talents on fiddle and plain old lead as well. Jai Winding is the kind of keyboards man who can play anything trilling off jazz riffs, or flowing — country sounds, or fast and mean organ licks or the sound of cathedral bells (whoo!). And Doug Haywood, whose mellow bass is only half of his part his voice blends perfectly with Jackson's, and so adds the vocal harmony that adds so much to the songs. — Lost in a lost world Ah, and then there's the main attraction himself. Dressed in a plain white loose fitting shirt and soft charcoal grey stovepipes, straight hair framing his long thin face, the pensive prince, St. George against the dragon world, trying to keep it together in the face of the mad, the insensitive, the heartless. As he sang, the emotions seemed to pull themselves out, his simple voice and melancholy eyes the vehicle for everything inside. His stage presence is rather reserved he just kind of conservatively bounces to the beat, most of the time, although he did jump up and down to end a few of the rock songs. But it is just that kind of presence that enhances the images or rather, the lack of it the lack of pretense. He talked to the audience, but the stories that got staated seemed to drift off into the void, and one remembers the comments that centered around the songs most. They gave just a little bit more insight into the man like just before "Just Before The Deluge" (which is what the song is about). In his low, slightly rough voice, "I don't know about you, but I intend to survive it. I guess everybody does, really." — - — New songs, good vibes They did every song on the new album. In fact, he only did five that weren't "Red Neck Friend," "For Everyman," "Rock Me On the Water," "Doctor My Eyes" and "Take It Easy" (that was the encore). Freebo came out and played tuba on one of the new ones, "How about this you're making me very nervous." (He slaps my knee gently, the defenses come down some, he smiles slowly and slightly.) "Well, you shouldn't be. We're all just people." — band. Debby Ash and Michael Compagna head a funky blues band, Jimmy Clarke was there on keys and sax, there was a trombone on the Debby has a deep, husky, outrageous side and they were all wailing when they walked in. Bonnie and Freebo sat down at a blues voice table, Jackson was standing in a corner, the band members were circulating. To make a long story short, it finally came time to see who would come on stage. It didn't take too much encouragement, and Bonnie and Freebo were there. Excuse me for being so laudatory, but I just find it amazing that someone in the midst of a fity city tour, tired and hoarse, would still come up to do something like that. — — Finally friendly Now he starts to talk. "Do you write often?" "No, it takes awhile. You know, it takes hold of you every now and then, and you can't catch it, and then finally it builds up, it's all there and you can just "—write it all down in a half hour." "Yea. It's good if you can sustain it that long" (I had told him it usually takes me a month to get one out). People were coming up to Jackson, patting him on the back and shaking his hand, it was great, stupendous, fantastic, etc. He didn't really seem to believe it, so I asked him if he liked it. "Yea, I though it was really good. Dug it. Of course, there's really no way to tell, since we're up here and you're out there." "Have you ever gotten into 'literature'?" "Not really. Just scanned it." "Well, where the hell do you get your images from?" "My parents are both English teachers. I was brought up to speak real good English. Yea, good English. Now I try to stay away from it as much as I can." — Back to the roots "Baby, I Love You" Bonnie did three numbers with the band {Aretha made it famous), "Since I Fell For You," and "Love Me Like A Man." The band, amazingly, sounded really fine behind her, and maybe it was just the magic of the whole night that allowed it all to come together so well and quickly, (please, let's hear it for the Ash-Compagna band). Debbie sang behind Bonnie, then Bonnie sang behind Debbie, and they wailed them out together, and the place was hanging from the rafters. After a few shots of bourbon, Bonnie just couldn't do it anymore. They tried to get Jackson up on stage, but he was hiding in the bathroom. Will, Doug and Larry did come up, though, and Will sang "Midnight Hour, Six Days on the Road," stuff like that. some songs Will did some songs "Midnight country riffs, Jimmy Clarke banged out great keys and everyone was already in such a great collective head that it just topped it all off.

Well, there it is, I got it all down, now all I have to do is think, wonder and rush for about two weeks, which is probably how long it will take me to come down. — — — Surprise visit It was going down all over the stage that everybody was going to the Bona Vista, so naturally, after thanking Jackson and getting a beautiful mellow smile in return, I went too.

Everybody dug that, and Jackson was even smiling. After an incredible encore "Take It Easy" going into this vamp Lindley which one of the most incredible fiddle breaks of all in played everybody came back on stage. Bonnie and Jackson did a time number together, the name of which 1 don't know, and frankly don't remember anything past the fact that my body was involuntarily dancing to it, and that it sounded outtasite. I was backstage again, watching through the curtains. The show ended, and Bonnie and Jackson, as soon as they were off, hugged each other tight for about two minutes straight, getting off on the so good vibes. — Bonnie's new album Eventually, Bonnie caught sight of me. "—hey, I don't know about that interview—" "—yea, it’s all right, Bonnie—". Well, we started talking, anyway, mostly about her new album. It would take too long to put it down verbatim, but here's the story. Bonnie has been going over budget on her other albums, and Warner Bros, wanted her to use their people rather than the independent producers and not too well known back-up musicians she usually likes to use. She also usually does arranging and performing on the albums, as opposed to singing what was chosen on this one. Jerry Ragovoy has never produced a white singer before, and wasn't exactly sure how to handle it. Bonnie likes and respects Jerry, and she's not blaming anybody, but it's just that lack of time and money caused an end product that is not the kind of sound she's into or really wants to be associated with. So don't worry. This is not the direction Bonnie intends to head into. "Got You On My Mind" is an example of an idea that, if it had worked out, would have happened much differently. She wanted it to be kind of a joke "real cheesy" but it ended up sort of like a Carpenter's tune. On the other hand, she's also aware that the first three albums have been made with the same basic formula one Chris Smither, one Jackson Brown, one Eric Kaz, and is into trying different things. So I'm sure we can still and so on expect some new and maybe surprising but definitely good things from — — — — Bonnie in the future.

Page thirteen �Chinese opera:homogeneous production by Alice Jacobson Spectrum Arts Staff "It is an occasion of great pride Chinese opera has finally come to the shores of Lake Erie. As the Chinese say, 'Between the four seas we are all brothers.' I know many of you come with a certain trepidation and that apprehension. Indeed, what you will see tonight will be a severe cultural shock." So warned emcee I. James before introducing the Institute of Chinese Performing Arts October 12 to a large Kleinhans Music Hall audience. "Chinese opera" is a misnomer, for singing is no more essential to the whole than are the elements of dance, music, mime, and the martial arts. What is puzzling to the uninformed spectator is what to make of an art-form that simply refuses to focus attention on any one of its aspects at any particular moment. The performance is so homogeneous that although the program tells us, for instance, that Yu Chi dances for the King of Ch'u, it is difficult to distinguish the event as William and thus require varying intonations, music first developed as abstract sound patterns, writes Scott. "The composer established his pattern of rhythm based on the juxtaposition of his tone lines, and his choice of word meaning was subsidiary to this. As balance, order, and arrangement of tonal patterns were the first ingredients necessary for both musical and poetic composition, tools were devised in the form of rhyme tables which classified words the same tonal having relationships precedence . . .

There was one other stringed instrument used, as well as a woodwin so-na, (which resembles a keyless toy trumpet) main the compulsory cymbals and gong. and Chinese Character roles fall typically into certain fixed types in Chinese theatre. There are maidens, young until a kick to his chin sends the male warrior flipping backwards to his death. He exits, curling one of his ramlike headpiece's slender feather forward to symbolize defeat. The woman, meanwhile, tosses her pole like a baton and finally points to it blankly as if it were a beautiful toy. So the play ends, seemingly devoid of any moral statement concerning war.

Mimicking to the girl's face her coyness in picking up the bracelet, the matchmaker shimmies, feigns stepping on a tack, hopes backwards in mock pain, shimmies back again, and drops his own handkerchief. He dusts the bracelet gingerly, then discovers in horror that it's nothing but “souvenir cheap souvenir!" The girl eventually convinces him to arrange the match with the young man, and two exit happily — The last play, The Rise and Fall of a King, featured S.H. Chao as the fierce old warrior, a traditional character played in a panda-like mask and waist-length beard. After his defeat in battle, his servant contemplates the situation in a subtle dance in which she her passes sword repeatedly behind and in front of a candle. She rubs her fingers, touches them to her eyes, and spirals toward the ground, bringing the hem of her cloak to her face. Seductive swords something less "real" than the rest of the action. There is, in fact, no The servant, played by H.Y Hu, then overhears the guards differentiation between dance and speak of the demoralization of drama. In his book Traditional Chinese Plays, A.C. Scott claims that Chinese opera began, strictly speaking, in the nineteenth century, but owes its development to the lyrical k'un ch'u theatres, a sixteenth century form created for educated society. Capital drama When Kiangsu, the home province of the K' un-ch'u, was captured by T'ai-p'ing rebels, Peking was cut off from the southern region. Peking's resident troupes therefore began to adapt various local styles of telling popularly known tales. The result is modern ching-hsi, or "drama of the capital." Perhaps the element of the ching-hsi least familiar to Western audiences is its music. Although it sounds randomly pitched and even discordant, it is a highly conscious form. Based on the system of fixed pitches for spoken words, which are monosyllabic their camp because of enemy infiltration. At dinner she reports this information to her chief, then attempts to console him by emotional-intellectual contents of song and poetry, [they] affected the formulation and development of stage technique so that sound pattern allied to music and mime became a vital accessory to dramatic effect," Scott explains. Organic sound Thus, music, rather than serving merely as accompaniment for the singing, functions as an "organic part of dramatic expression allied with speech which is emphasized to create sound pattern and movement," he concludes. The leader of the orchestra, which at Kleinhans was composed of four or five members who sat downstage left, plays the drum and beats time with the clapper (a The maiden, for example, must tape her brow to give her eyes the proper slant and must place the strands of her floor-length silk wig so as to offset any flaws in the shape of her face.

I mused over this strange combination all the way to Kleinhans Music Hall last Wednesday night, not knowing what to expect. Herbie Hancock, for years one of the best keyboard men around, has finally achieved widespread popularity, and I had been told that his concert performances had suffered, as a result of his "selling out" to reach a larger audience. True, his last two albums have shown a trend toward commercialism, and he has appeared in this area three times in the last six months, but I wondered how any one of Hancock's talent could be unimpressive in concert. Perhaps an act has to be obscure to please a jazz audience. Minnie Riperton, former vocalist of the Rotary Connection, is currently making a stab at popular success, and a number of people, Stevie Wonder among them, seem determined to see her make it. Anyone who has heard her single "Reasons" will attest to her incredible vocal range (she once trained to be an opera singer), but I feared she was just ahother would-be star with yet another gimmick. When she took the stage, however, I was pleasantly surprised.

His music is a blend of funky rhytms and electronic jazz, and he is very much the star of the band, playing electric piano, clavinet, and three different synthesizers. I was disappointed that - Thursday; The performance consisted mostly of material from Hancock's last two albums, including "Palm Grease", Sly", Butterfly" and "Chameleon". At the end of the latter, Hancock exhibited a bit of showmanship of the type usually seen only at ELP concerts. Somehow remotely controlling his synthesizer, Hancock walked around the stage, mimicking a levitationist, coaxing sreeches out of the instrument until at the very end, the howl reached a peak, a bomb exploded next to him, and the band walked off under a veil of smoke.

However, during the course of her 45-minute set, she proved herself capable of much more than just that. Her repetoire consisted of most of the songs from her Perfect Angel LP, as well as Stevie Wonder's "Creepin'" and Quincy Jones' "If I Ever Lose This Heaven". The perfomance turned full circle and ended with another version of "Reasons" with a slow, almost orchestral backing, the tension building to a crescendo as Riperton hit the final ear-shattering note and the band roared back into the fast ending of the song. 2680 Main St. corner Amherst CLASS Maupin (saxes) was not featured more, for although Hancock's style is, technically, nearly perfect, this solos are almost too complex to be appreciated by bass and drums) was outstanding, and they with a rendition of "Reasons" as good as the keyboards, Redjacket Quad., Bldg. 5, 2nd floor lounge Sponsored by Students’ Fees 32.00 Friday: Amateur nlte Saturday Ladies nlte 5Qc all drinks ; co Fine Arts Film Committee < presents 3 October 1 8 Partner's Dir.

Throughout the concert Rundgren engaged in catch banter, casting amusing aspersions about the Grateful Dead and pop festivals, and after taking a spill and landing squarely on his ass, Todd quipped, "I told you this was our fall tour." On "Open My Eyes," a bouncy Who sounding number from Todd's Nazz days, he goofed on Townsend by simulating Pete's windmill guitar gestures. It was Utopia's second concert in a forty city, two month tour. Although there were some small hassles at the beginning of the concert, these should be ironed out and eliminated as the tour progresses. Kudos should be extended to all members of Utopia for their excellent play and execution. Columbus Day in Clean supports the contention that Todd Rundgren is a wizard and a true star. It was certainly enough to answer that nagging question, who is Rodd Tundgren anyway. Well, old sport, Rundgren is obviously the brightest talent in rock.

I'm not referring to an obnoxiously cute group nor a powerful one that will grab the rock scene and change it dramatically in its own image. Mainly because in Everyone Is Everyone Else, Barclay James Harvest tries many old styles as well as adding some new twists. BHJ seems to be striving to gain their own originality but aren't sure which way to go. Actually they have succeeded in pulling off a subtle reshuffling of some other artists' material which goes by almost unnoticed. Barley James Harvest is one of those groups that you could almost swear you've heard before. That is, almost. Like many new groups trying to break into the music world, they want to have a successful "formula" or sound. So, they look to already established groups. Unlike these other new groups, BHJ doesn't overtly steal the "formula" but reorganizes it and takes small parts. Their claim to originality lies more in the arrangement of the music than in totally new directions in music. At times, for example, their electric background seems to be inspired by Genesis. The soft lifting electric guitar often builds up into an overpowering frenzy. But to say they sound like Genesis is wrong because the rest of the song, that is the lyrics, vocals and percussion, doesn't fit the "formula". "Paper Wings" is a good example of where they rearranged old material. They start out sounding like the Beatles in "Across the Universe" then they ease into some light electric guitar that doesn't particularly sound like anyone. From there they go into an instrumental, whose background is again reminiscent of Genesis. Since AM rock stations look for songs that are Ikaortmtufienl Ron Wood, I've Got My Own Album To Do (Warner Brothers) >:N. 4:M. liW. Whenever a music group finally hits the big time, its members usually try to evolve their talents by recordings solo albums. This is done for two basic reasons: to cash in on a good thing and have the group serve as a security blanket to fall back on. Ron Wood's new solo album definitely fits in the latter category. A perfect platter of antiquity, little Ronnie's love child is as bold as brass but otherwise boring. The guitarist for Faces, Wood has quite an impressive assembly of names on his I've Got My Own Album To Do. The basic band is Ian McLagan on keyboards; Willie Weeks and Andy Newmark of Donny Hathaway and Sly Stone fame, playing bass and drums; and the one and only Keith Richard, courtesy of Rolling Stone Records, on guitar. Not only has Wood pulled the oldest trick in the book by name dropping but also has the ugliest album cover of the year. Even his mug shot smack in the center is enough to make you puke. With all this going for him, he should be the next recipient of the Fickle Finger of Fate Award. Although appearances may be deceiving, this one serves as a forewarning. What else can you expect from the dynamic influence of Faces and Rolling Stones. All the cuts seem to sound like Faces, the Rolling Stones, or a combination of both. What a miss match. "Act Together", a typical Faces type number, has potential as a good song if done by someone else. The melodic flow of this cut is completely severed by the incoherence of the band. Most of the time they are in discord: guitar notes too sharp, organ sounds flat, and the drum rhythm is stagnant. Trying to come off as Rod Stewart, Wood falls flat on his face (and sounds that way too) with the vocals.

Given half a chance, BHJ could become a famous group on the AM scene whose tunes will be whistled and sung by multitudes of music maniacs. They appear to have hit on a likebale, listenable blend of British rock injected with a small dose of fresh talent. Whether they make it or not remains to be seen. —David Rivet Let's get our shit together. Sure won't hurt you none, to try. Too bad he doesn't follow his own advice. Of course, there is a perfect Stones number in "Am I Groovin You". Great for Jagger's image, it does absolutely nothing for Wood's. The main riff in the rhythm section is so basic that it's guaranteed to g“ive you a migraine headache. There are no harmonies, only monotonous thumpings with little harmonica interludes. As for vocals, Wood might as well be reading. Nothing salvagable here. Eureka! There is one number worth saving. "Crotch Music", the last cut on the LP, is the only thing having any listenable qualities. Completely instrumental, it demonstrates a spark of Ron Wood's genius. Though a very nice piece, it's too bad the rest of the album is so shitty. I realize that Wood was out to get a Face lift, but it appears that he got an egg shampoo. -Susan l/Vos Hillel Shabbaton DENNIS PRAGER “Why Bother Being Jewish’ 5:30 pm 20th at Oct. followed by a discussion throughout the song, the band going from heavy to semi-soft.

In several letters that have appeared concerning the day care controversy, day care has been claimed by Sparky Alzamora as a right. This is not so. In a few socialized countries, there are public day care centers supported by the government. In these countries, day care is a right. In America, it is not a right but a service provided by private and semi-private institutions. One day, hopefully, day care will be socialized in America but until that day it is a consumer service. And as such, it must be paid for by individuals. There is no more right to day care than there is a right to be able to buy meat in a stqre. If the store is out of meat or does not sell it, you cannot buy it there. It has been charged that denying day care to student parents denies them an equal opportunity to education. This is not so. Everyone is given the same opportunity for an education. It is the individual’s responsibility to make arrangements to attend class. If student parents demand day care so that they may attend class, by the same reasoning students living off campus could demand bussing to campus so that they to may attend class. In order to insure equal educational opportunities to minorities and the disadvantaged, grants and scholarships are offered. Possibly, student parents could go the same route for help. As a service, though, day care should be available to State University at Buffalo student parents. I suggest two or. possibilities: Non-parent students should not be asked to support the Center since they are totally uninvolved. Day Care Center funds should be allocated from student fees on a basis proportional to the number of parents patronizing the center. Obviously, this would not be sufficient to support the center. To supplement the funds,-the center could be set up on a co-op basis. Non-paid parents would assist in the center on a revolving schedule. From the number of parents utilizing the center as suggested in the letters-to-the-Editor, this would distribute the burden sufficiently. Both parents could help in the center. In this age of vaunted feminine liberation, male ignorance of child care should be a rarity. The funds allocated from student fees would pay the salaries of a few permanent coordinators. While this program might not completely eliminate the cost to the individual, it would certainly drastically reduce it. Whatever the program utilizes, one thing must be kept in mind. There is no such thing as a free luch. Every benefit received is paid for directly or indirectly. It must be paid for whether from federal funds or out of the private pocket. The question is whether parents alone will pay or will non-parents end up paying also? . . . . .

Letter officers: �Be gmnin tomorrow Low-cost dental care to be available on campus by John A Fink Spectrum Staff Writer Comprehensive dental care will be on campus, beginning this Saturday, to University students at a cost within reach of student budgets. The Saturday Morning Operative Clinic will be open for the next 24 Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 12 noon in the main Dental Clinic in Capen Hall. The 24 weeks is a trial period for the clinic. If this pilot program, funded by the Department of Restorative Dentistry, proves successful, Sub-Board will finance its continued operation. Under the program, students will receive restorative dentistry at fees about 40 percent below those of outside dentists, because students will be charged only for the cost of materials used, said A1 Campagna, director of Sub-Board’s Health Care Division. available Students only The clinic will be open only to students for now, but Mr. Campagna said services might later be extended to others, including student family members. Services offered range from oral examinations and fluoride treatments to home care instruction and simple restorative procedures Students who receive treatment at the clinic will be on a six month recall for re-examinations. Previously, the only dental service available to students was the Student Dental Clinic in Michael Hall. However, this clinic was concerned only with preventive dental procedures or proper oral maintenance. Students requiring more complicated care, including emergency restorative treatment, had to be referred either to the Dental School or to local practitioners. This often created problems. In several cases, there were conflicts between appointment times and a student’s classes or work. This resulted in delayed treatment or no attention at all. Problems noticed Campagna originated the idea of a student clinic after several of these problems were brought to his attention. Sub-Board responded by undertaking a student opinion survey. Questions asked concerned whether or not the Michael Hall Clinic was sufficient; if a student needed restorative care during the school year, and if so, where it was obtained; and if students would use such a clinic if available. A random sampling of eight percent of the student population revealed an overwhelming desire for the stablishment of a comprehensive dental health clinic. Additional impetus for the clinic was provided by the fact that many students cannot afford the traditional fee structure of private professionals, said Mr. Campagna. He brought the problem to the » attention of John Hannibal III of the Department of Restorative Dentistry, coordinator of the Saturday Operative Clinic. “I had the idea but John had the vehicle to start it,” Mr. Campagna explained. Their combined efforts resulted in the establishment of the clinic. Interested students should contact either Mr. Campagna, in Room 312, Norton Hall, or go directly to the Michael Hall Clinic. Referrals to the Saturday clinic will be made only after this is done. Daisy Herman’s ragtime is from Buffalo’s happy past by Glenn Englander Spectrum Staff Writer The IRC Ellicott Area Council will be presenting Mildred “Daisy” Herman at the Ellicott Coffeehouse, on Sunday, Oct. 20. “Daisy” is a 76-year-old ragtime and honkytonk pianist. A graduate of Buffalo’s Lafayette High School at age 15, Daisy’s career began when she played background music for silent movies at The Pastine Theater on Grant St., when on opening day, the regular piano player didn’t show up for work. The theater owner’s nephew ran to Daisy’s home, telling her Jo grab some music and get down to the theater. “But what do I play?” asked the 15-year-old Daisy. “If it’s a newsreel, play marching music. If somebody dies, play something sad,” was the reply. Earning Dad’s wages Daisy earned two dollars for that first matinee, the same wages her father received for a day’s work. After hitting the ivories for another two dollars at the evening show, she decided to work in the picture show for the summer, playing along with the movies whether or not she had seen it already. She also worked a couple of blocks away, on Grant and Potomac, at the Ellen Terry. After the summer she changed jobs and worked in a Buffalo music shop, Waterson, Berlin (as in Irving) and Schneider. Daisy once played with the Buffalo Philharmonic while working at a dance studio for an arrangement of a ballet, “The I WINES LIQUORS | We are happy to be the Community Liquor Store Complete selection of — Domestic — & Liquors Imported Wines & Cordials port Highway 2345 Millers Getzville, N.Y. 14068 Getzville Plaza 688-6666 Dance of the Hours.” It was conductor John Lund who gave her the confidence she needed, and soon after, she played at the Statler Hilton Hotel. Daisy traveled with a vaudeville act called “The Kid Cabaret.” Her booking agents, McMehan and Dee, were big in Buffalo at the time. Daisy explained that “Mr. Dee” looked like W.C. Fields. “He wore the checkered suit, derby hat, a big fat diamond on his tie and a big nose to match. I was ashamed to be seen with him. Everytime we went anywhere I would hide behind him,” Daisy laughed. ‘Yes sir!’ Although Daisy is getting on in years, as is her house, which dates back to 1808, she still has all the gumption and pizzazz that show biz requires. “From the time 1 was 65, I wouldn’t join the senior citizens crowd,” Daisy declared, though admitting this was a belief contrary to that of many of her friends. She dyes her hair, but not to hide her years. “With a face like this, there’s no guessing of age,” Daisy both happily and sadly said. “There’s nothing like being egotistical,” she continued, “especially when 100 busy people take time out to come to a brithday party that’s held for you.” Daisy loves cats. “I have this one Persian Cat who weighs 18 pounds. He stands on the piano bench, looks around for me, and hits the keys.” Daisy also reflected on her aprents, who had “no money, but plenty of love. My parents were quite young when I turned them into parents and 1 was an only child. When I was 20 years old, 1 came home unexpected news. ‘You fools!’ I said. Must because I’m on the road you don’t know how to behave’.” “After all,” Daisy laughed, “my mother was 39 and I thought she was an old woman.” As to the present, Daisy keeps busy. She has just had published a book of nostalgic poems, Daisy’s Garden of Rose* and Daffydils which earned her the title “poet-laureate” for the Town of Amherst, as well as September’s town “Citizen of the Month.” She still plays piano, having done her own ragtime arrangement of “St. Love Blues’’ at the Hamburg-Cayuga County Fair. She didn’t get top billing, but the local newspaper praised her more :ormer also holds certain opinions on various political figures. Harry Truman: “He was like my father; he called a spade a spade.” Rose Kennedy: “She is a great lady to me.” Richard Nixon: “I can see Nixon being cruel and smiling at the same time, I speak from experience. 1 had an uncle just like him.” Gerald Ford: “He makes me think of Charlie McCarthy on Bergen’s knee. When he asked for guidance, God had his hearing aid shut off or something.” Mildred “Daisy” Herman also provides a short, sweet description of herself: “Everyone has their sorrows, but 1 never take mine with me.” Daisy Friday, 18 October 1974 The Spectrum Page nineteen . int i -sdoloO 81 . muVoeqS nrlT nesjJdjjia stt*? �Carrel enjoys working wltha Idler.

Instead they took away the ice, raised the baskets and brought out the wrestling rings. That traveling road show “Super Pro Wrestling” was in town, and the main attraction was Bruno Sammartino against Barron Scicluna for the World title. Sammartino won the match, retaining the world title he has held on and off for the last I 1 years. Most everyone who owns a television set has, at one time or another, witnessed this phenomena. Many young adults have brown up watching the antics of Sammartino, Bo Bo Brazil (inventor of the famous Co-Coa Butt), 600 pound Haystacks Arnold Scoland” and Calhoun, the “Golden Boy many others. — UB SWIM TEAM presents • TONIGHT • Friday, Oct. 18th THE MARX BROS. starring in THE BIG STORE 7-9 "11 pm Room 147 Diefendorf SHOWS AT $1.00 Donation - Tickets available at Norton Ticket Office or at the door That’s show-biz At times “wrestling” has offended its viewers with displays that simulate some of the worst kinds of sado-masochism. In recent years, the act has included concealed weapons and red planted substance, concealed on the performers bodies that burst and give the appearance of actual bloodshed. We all know that this “wrestling” is just an act. If human beings were to do, in reality, what the “wrestlers” simulate as part of their performance, there would be considerable damage to life and limb. Of course, at times the phoniness gets so blatant to offend the viewers. But wrestling usually does as offend. It simply amuses and entertains. Many not Americans, realizing that what they are viewing is not athletics at all but show business, find all the throwing, kicking, biting, punching, ranting and raving simply uproarious. Small crowd Even though Wednesday night's bout was for the championship, only 700 fans (the Aud holds CUP THIS COUPON THIS WEEKEND at - Oct. IS & 19 17,000) were on hand for the bout. One fan explained that the small turnouts are due to overzealous promoters. She said these promoters advertise big name bouts that don’t come off and schedule bouts between the same two wrestlers week after week. Things aren’t bad everywhere, though. Bouts at New York City’s Madison Square Garden still pack the house. Sammartino has said big New York crowds spur him on to a better performance. However, the lack of the crowds at the Auditorium didn’t stop the diehards from enjoying themselves. Most of the onlookers, a motley crew if ever there was one, claim they came simply because they enjoy watching the varied talents of each wrestler. One woman, whose daughter had a large stuffed animal with the autographs of many wrestling greats on it, emphasized how it took great skill to fall, hit and move properly so that it looked convincing. However, she claimed that some of the bouts, known as grudge matches, were for real. 29 more As for the 37-year-old Sammartino, his fans will be glad to know that retirement is not yet among his plans. The European immigrant has been wrestling for 29 years, and barring injury, would like to wrestle for 29 more. He said he really had to get psyched to beat Scicluna. He knew he’d win, but acting it out can be tough. Money has ceased to be a factor for the champ and wrestling has become more entertainment than profession for him. The only drawback, he claims, are long periods on the road away from his wife and three children. Phony or not, professional wrestlers look the part. Who would dare incur the wrath of someone built like mighty Bruno? "1 the. | T || &> /V THE RA THSKhl.LER - Clip this ad & save 50c on the cost of a ticket.

The professionals are more likely to respond to those that hire them, despite the fact that students provide the monies. Dr. Somit has proposed an informal committee, that will deal with the problems of athletics. If the members do nothing but cure the duality-of-control problem, jhey will be very successful. It is my hope that the studeats, administrators, and athletic personnel fhat sit on that committee can have some meaningful communication about the future of athletics.

According to a survey of nearly 200,000 incoming freshmen at 360 schools by the Cooperative Institution Research Project (CIRP), 42 percent of the students reported that they resided with their parents. The primary reason for commuting is financial benefits, concluded a study in the late 1960’s by Robert Frenske and Craig Scott of almost 33,000 students at 800 different colleges. These “local attenders” lived at home while commuting to classes and were mostly from lower family income groups. Small difference Yet a study this year by Elizabeth Suchar for the College Entrance Examination Board revealed that the actual difference in college costs between commuters and residents is only about $300 per year. Some of the difference, if not all of it, Ms. Suchar pointed out, may be eliminated by higher transportation costs that resident students do not have to pay, making the actual financial commitment of both commuters and residents about the same. Nonetheless, financial considerations obviously play a big role for commuters. A study done at Wayne State University in Michigan found that the typical commuter at that school spent six hours a day commuting or working. With that many hours involved, these students usually scheduled courses grouped together and often left the campus immediately after classes. With such a schedule, commuters often have little time for normal college-related extracurricular activities and for developing relationships with other students and faculty. Less socializing A number of studies have tried to discover what effects this has on the typical commuter student. Two studies done in conjunction with the American Council on Education explored the impact of college on commuters. In one study conducted at 13 liberal arts colleges, Arthur Chickering and Ellen Kuper discovered that commuters participated in a narrower range of activities, had a smaller set of friends and tended to have more formal relationships with members of the opposite sex. The Chickering-Kuper study also found that resident students tended to change more rapidly in non-intellectual areas than commuters, because the residents saw s sharp contrast with values held at home. While away from their home environment, they more readily accepted value changes. This was supported by the Wayne State study, which in 1969 concluded that the psychological atmosphere for such changes was better for residents, as commuters generally got little support from home for new political and social ideas. This study also found that commuters tended to draw their friends from neighborhood and high school social circles rather than from the academic setting as the resident did. Fear rejection In a more recent psychological study of commuters, John Kysar of the University of Illinois discovered that many commuter parents are specifically fearful of their college-bound children rejecting family values and tend to compromise their misgivings by urging their children to commute rather than live at college. Kysar supported the establishment of mental health facilities for commuters, who, because of a lack of reassurance from a large peer group, may have more difficulty working through identity crises which often occur at the college level. Kysar even suggested that commuters may tend to put off crucial decisions because of hostile attitudes on the part of parents. Kysar’s study revealed feelings of inadequacy in regards to members of the opposite sex, self-doubt, fear of failure and a reluctance to commit energy and resources to the college experience. Kysar concluded that many students commute in order to delay the normal development process of leaving home, and that such students often rationalize their decision by citing economic factors. CUNY Educational quality remains same with open admissions Two recent studies have indicated that the City University of New York (CUNY) controversial open admissions program has not become a “revolving door” for disadvantaged students and that there has been no lowering of academic standards. The program guarantees a college scat for every New York City high school graduate. Similar open admissions programs are found in state-financed schools across the country. In announcing the new studies, CUNY Chancellor Robert J. Kibbee said, “The dire forecasts of those who saw open admissions as a ‘revolving door’ have simply not materialized. Even more consequential is the companion study which shows that, to the extent grades are an indication of academic standards, there has been no decline in City University collegiate standards attributable to open admissions.” Two studies The first study was authored by David E. Lavin, associate professor of sociology at Herbert H. Lehman College of the CUNY system; the second by Dean Lawrence Podell of the University’s Office of Program and Policy Research. The Lavin study found that 52.4 percent of the 34,398 first-year students who were attending CUNY colleges in 1970 had, after seven semesters, either received degrees or were still enrolled. These figures, broken down over type of college (four-year or community) and secondary school grade averages, were comparable to or better than national norms aftet eight semesters as reported in an American Council on Education study. Among the findings of the Podell study was a comparison of grade distribution at two different one with a high proportion of four-year schools and the other without. The admissions students open study showed that in 1972 the college without a significant number of open admissions students gave proportionately the same or higher grades in six out of seven departmental areas from the open admissions school either remained constant or fell markedly over the same period of time. “There has been no pattern of inflation of - grades that could be attributed to the advent ofopen admissions,” concluded Dr. Podell. The Professional Staff Caucus (PSC), CUNY’s faculty union, commended the school’s administration for releasing the studies and said, “We are hopeful that the administration will act on them.” In the past, the PSC, a group friendly to the concept of open admissions yet critical of what they consider premature claims of success for the program, has criticized the administration for allowing “myths” about open admissions to continue. The most dangerous myth, according to the PSC, was that “open admissions is being adequately managed and adequately funded by the City and State.” Referring to the study on dropout rates, PSC President Belle Zeller was quoted by Higher Education Daily as saying, “We take no comfort in the allegation that the dropout rale is in line with the lowest common denominator, the national rates.” Dropouts Dr. Zeller contended it would have been more appropriate to compare those who would have been admitted anyway under selective admissions with those who were only admitted because of open admissions. For that comparison the dropout rate for “regular” students was 36 percent and for open admissions students 56 percent, according to Zeller. The PSC suggested two major “long overdue” measures to be taken by the school: (1) strict adherance to class size limitations and (2) support for an instructional resource center to develop and disseminate new teaching, testing, and counseling materials and techniques suited to open admissions students. “The University knew at the time of its inauguration of open admissions that the widespread policy of sink-or-swim was inconsistent with a genuine commitment to universal higher education,” said Zeller. “These figures (just) released .. . bear out what we have feared all along, that the University has not yet fulfilled that promise.” �Committee reviews next College charter by Richard Korman Campus Editor Clark luestions contributions Conflict of interest charged would vote on the facts.” He questioned the timing of Mr. Javits recent Spectrum Staff trip to Cuba noting that the trip was made only five November election when “he could Democratic U.S. Senate Ramsey Clark sharply weeks before the or ten years ago.” criticized his opponent Jacob Javits Friday for have gone five accepting a $15,000 campaign contribution from Nelson Rockefeller during a sidewalk news Street campaigning Before his news conference, Mr. Clark made a conference in Buffalo of the Bailey-Kensington shopping Mr. Clark said the acceptance of the walking tour several food stores, Mr. Clark After visiting district. contribution showed a “clear conflict of interest by on several items.

At the first IRC meeting for 1974-75, representative Robert Axelrod proposed that Mr. Weber allegedly made an illegal overexpenditure of funds in appropriating money for the Minority Affairs concert several weeks ago. It is estimated that IRC lost $4000 on the concert, but Mr. Axelrod declared that “even if the concert had been a success, it would still be a misappropriation and illegal withdrawal of capital funds.” Mr. Weber stated categorically that “there was no misappropriation of funds,” explaining that the Executive Committee entered, in good faith, into what it thought would be a money-making operation. “It was our intention to make a for the Minority Affairs budget,” Mr. Weber said. He also hoped the concert might ease some of the racial tensions that he claimed have been building on campus steadily. “As regards the money,” Mr. Weber explained, “we can say that the money was a temporary advance to the minority affairs budget, but in fact what we did, for the simplicity of bookkeeping, was withdraw the money from capital ■ funds. We can take it out of activity fees and we can put it back to eliminate any possible allegations of wrongdoing.” Mr. Weber admitted, in hindsight, that there were some errors of judgement, but assured the Council that despite the $4000 loss, “no IRC fee payer would see a marked decrease of activities because of it.” When Mr. Weber finally called for a vote, the motion was withdrawn and replaced instead with a motion for a motion for a vote of confidence. The motion was passed unanimously with one abstention. IRC’s financial conflict with Clifford Furnas College was also discussed. According to the approved minutes of the May. 7 meeting, the Weber administration voted to give CFC members a $9 discount on their $20 fee. Because college members Forecast Enrollment drop predicted by Ilene Dube Feature Editor New York State full-time undergraduate enrollments at two and four year institutions will be two thirds of what they are today by 1990, according to a report of the New York State Education Department. Based on live births and number of expected high school graduates, the report predicts a continuing increase until 1980, when enrollments are expected to begin falling. The predictions do not necessarily indicate changes in interest or motivation, but may have a lot to do with rising tuition costs, explained Daniel Hamberg, Chairman of the Department of Economics. General inflation is reducing the number of students in colleges and/or shifting enrollments to less expensive schools. Dr. Hamberg said. “Inflation makes it difficult to meet the bill” of education, he added. Many of the Ivy League Schools have not yet been affected by the “shifting composition” from private to public schools, maintained Dr. Hamberg. Persons who can afford these schools have solid enough income sources and are not affected by inflation and the declining stock market, he explained. Because of attempts to “develop a mixed student population,” many of these students attend school on scholarships. If the economy continues along its current trend, however, these scholarships might be discontinued. The economic hardship has stabilized enrollments at two-year schools, possibly because of what Dr, Hamberg calls the “vocational binge.” Increasing numbers of potential students are opting for trade education and junior colleges. “The rewards of a college education have fallen for the rewards of non-college occupations,” Dr. Hamberg said. Locally, the State University College at Fredonia was hit by a decline in enrollments this year, leaving over 300 empty places. The State University at Buffalo has had an increase this year, however, and assistant Executive vice-president Charles Fogel does not believe the University will be affected by a decline. “Our acceptance ratio is of such a magnitude that we will always have enough students to accept,” he explained. This year, for example, there were 16,000 applications for 2100 positions. Another spokesman from Admissions and Records said that admissions requirements would not necessarily be lowered if enrollment drops. Currently, there are 21,869 full time equivalents (FTE) enrolled in the State University at Buffalo. The projected enrollment for 1980 is 28,569 FTEs. Mr. Fogel predicted that enrollment would stabilize during the 1980’s, although he acknowledged that the rate may drop. The projection figures from his office are used for construction and planning. The Amherst Campus was designed with the 1980 enrollment predictions in mind, and further construction will not take place until adequate use is made of the existing space, Mr. Fogel maintained. T. Edward Hollander, Deputy Commissioner for Higher Education, and author of the New York State Education Department report, was concerned with utilization of university “plants” in 1990. He mentioned several possible methods of serving “new” student populations, including inmates of correctional institutions, mothers returning to college, veterans, foreign students, and people from industrial corporations and labor unions who wish to continue their education.

A motion was proposed at the meeting to rescind that offer on the grounds that the IRC constitution made such an agreement illegal. Parliamentarian Robert Burrick pointed out that under Robert’s Rules, the affirmative vote could not be reconsidered “if the committee has begun work on the referred matter.” If CFC had even started budget planning, that would have to be considered referred matter, Mr. BurricK explained. Fee stands The ruling was upheld by the Office of Student Affairs and the $11 IRC fee for CFC members stands as passed. In other business, Richard Cohen announced his resignation as IRC treasurer. He explained that because of the enormous amount of time required to adequately fill his obligations as treasurer, he could not undertake his scholastic responsibilities.

Representatives from NFS, AEC, the Sierra Club and Theodore Hullar, Erie County’s first Commissioner of Environmental Quality, debated the effects this “nuclear laundry” will have on the city of Buffalo and citizens of the surrounding both high and low-level radioactive wastes. Someone asked if the nuclear waste of the eastern United States will continue to be stored at Springville. Mr. Clark said the waste will be stored not longer than five years as a liquid. After this period of time, the wastes will be solidified, according to NFS and the AEC, and stored in this state for not more than 10 years. The solid waste will then be given to the AEC, which still hasn’t found a place to store it. Strontium-90 and Cesium-137, two radioactive wastes, need to be isolated • by Diane R. Miller Spectrum Staff Writer real hazards to the that there is “no and environment” evidence for any detrimental effects” from the plant, Dr. Resnikoff presented evidence to the contrary. He pointed out that the plant uses the entire Cattaraugus Creek as its “sluice pipe,” and affects the wilderness area surrounding Cattaraugus Creek. On the average, according to AEC inspection reports, the plant’s temporary workers received a whole-body radiation dose of 1.73 to 2 rems (a unit of biological dose of radiation), an amount not considered harmful, but the exposure is equivalent of presents “no area. NFS, owned by billionaire financier J. Paul Getty, chemically extracts uranium and plutonium from nuclear power reactors fuel rods. Situated 40 miles south of Buffalo just over the Erie County line, the chemical plant was the nation’s first commercial fuel reprocessing facility. Defends plant According to NFS spokesman James R. Clark, expansion of the plant will help stretch this country’s natural resources, reduce the need for mining and solve the problem of what to do with some nuclear wastes. Only three to four percent of the country’s power plants presently use nuclear fuel, according to Dr. Hullar. Mr. Clark estimated that if his plant were allowed to expand, 18% of the power plants would use reprocessed fuel. Marvin Resnikoff, However, Club, questioned the Sierra representing the basic need of the plant, pointing out that the recovered uranium will not be used until 2020. “No U.S.-recovered uranium has gone through any plant in the U.S.,” Dr. Resnikoff said. He feels that the uranium should be buried as it is in Canada. The value of the recovered plutonium is the only reason for the existence of the plant. Thus far, the plant has extracted 2000 kilograms (over two tons) of plutonium, but only a small amount has gone to test places. However, 500 kilograms (at least half a ton) has been used for the manufacture of weapons, including 35 kilograms that went to West Germany and Japan, enough for five bombs, according to Dr. Resnikoff. Neither of these countries has breeder reactors (for the production of nuclear energy). “What are they doing with this plutonium?” Dr. Resnikoff asked. Stores wastes In addition to separating out plutonium and uranium, the plant is also used to store ■■ ■■ r . .. . , not allowed to see their past personnel records. Mr. Clark explained that they were entitled to see all past radiation exposure records, but the men explained that all they had been shown were records of total exposure. Here, Dr. Resnikoff pointed out that environmental offices do not monitor dosage records, but rely on what the plants themselves record. Records show that employees at NFS were exposed to 2.7 rems in 1968 and 7.2 rems in 1971; the figures are this low only because the plant hired transient workers, he added. Asked if NFS keeps employee health records on the incidence of cancer and death due to cancer, Richard Black of AEC said no studies have been done on the relationship of cancer and work at NFS. Strontium-90, a waste handled by NFS, has been shown to cause bone marrow disorders due to calcium interference and breast cancer but this has not been widely publicized. After several questions from the audience, Mr. Clark admitted that one employee of NFS had died from cancer, but claimed the death was related to heavy cigarette smoking. He also admitted that at present one man is being treated for cancer, but said this too is related to smoking. Poor financial status Although Mr. Clark said NFS is “financially sound” and turning away customers,” Dr. Resnikoff presented evidence to the contrary: according to the Wall Street Journal NFS lost $500,000 in 1969 and $5 million in 1972, the year it was closed. Mr. Scott also asserted that NFS is financially unsound. He said it will cost $17 million to get rid of the wastes presently stored in the tanks, and if NFS goes bankrupt this will be paid by the taxpayers. NFS has not been profitable, and “a company that is not profitable, cuts corners,” he contended. AEC appeared to be in support of NFS, and the Sierra Club was left to fend for itself. The Sierra Club described its role as one of a “watchdog” on safety records and other issues. AEC has refused to help the Sierra Club in this role, according to Dr. Resnikoff, who said Mr. Black told him he was “too busy” and “underpaid.” The methods of operation used by NFS are supposedly checked by federal and state agencies. However, the dual role AEC now plays as both regulator and promoter of nuclear power was questioned. Mr. Black reported that a bill to separate these two functions passed in the House of Representatives two weeks ago. , from the environment for 1000 years before they become harmless. Plutonium-239 takes 250,000 years to become harmless. The tanks that contain the liquid nuclear waste from this plant sit “a mere 40 feet above the water supply” in Springville, Dr. Resnikoff maintained. Already, tanks on the Savannah River in South Carolina have leaked, he said. Dr. Resnikoff also asked those at the meeting to consider the number of trucks that will be bringing in waste to the plant and the possibility of accidents and mishaps. “There may be 1500 trucks a year, he stated, Although NFS maintained that its plant CLIP THIS COUPON ■■ HJj five chest X-rays. This is less than the maximum the AEC allows for full-time radiation workers, but much more than the industry-wide average of 0.2 rem per year and more than the 0.5 rems allowed for members of the general public. (Federal radiation protection guidelines in force since 1960 recommend that individuals in the general population receive no more than 0.5 rems per year of non medical radiation to the whole body. Nuclear workers are limited to 5 rems per year.)

This is only one area of city spending which can be modified,” Mr. Phelan indicated. The Republican also believes the public can help the city properly distribute funds and cut down on wastes. He proposes that a city-wide, non-profit, non-partisan organization be established by the Council to divide Buffalo into neighborhood groups. These groups would elect representatives to give their district’s point of view on city spending, especially in the area of housing. Mr. Phelan also believes that any city charter resolutions should be put on the ballot. “The public should be given a chance to vote on charter resolutions,” he asserted. Mr. Mitchell’s spokesman, Donald Lochte, said the present council’s plans to eliminate city deficit “are complicated.” There is no “miracle” method that will alleviate the city’s problems in a short period of time. Mr. Mitchell favors appropriating sufficient funds for education and low-cost, low-interest housing, Mr. Lochte said, but feels these funds will have to be appropriated largely by the Spectrum The position of President of the Buffalo Common Council is up for election next month. Delmar Mitchell, the Democratic candidate, will try to retain the office he has held since March of last year due to a vacancy created by the retirement of ailing president Chester Gorski. However, Republican opponent John J. Phelan contends that “the office of President of the Common Council has been neglected too long. The city of Buffalo needs creative leadership.” The three major issues facing Buffalo this year are the declining state of the economy, poor housing and inappropriate funding for city public schools, Buffalo’s unemployment rate has skyrocketed to the highest in its history. There are insufficient funds for improving Buffalo’s public schools, and housing structures within deteriorating. city the constantly are Mr. Phelan is anxious to prove that the present council is inadequately serving the city, and that he can provide the leadership the city needs so desperately. ' Unsound management Mr. Phelan emphasizes the fact that the root of all three of the city’s problems is the lack of sound management of the city’s available funds. His plan to help the city eliminate its deficits focuses on generating more money from federal revenue. “In terms of education, the present administration is rolling over the deficit from the previous year into state. He went on to explain the “awkwardness” of position of City Council President. “The president of the Common Council does not control the funding,” Mr. Lochte said. “He is unable to do anything without the majority approval of the council. He can preside over the meetings and make suggestions, but he is not in the position to dictate to the mayor or the council.” the this year,” Mr. Phelan contended. “Not only is this procedure illegal, but it doesn’t help the city’s situation at all.” “The federal government is giving the city an initial SI 2.8 million to spend on housing,” Mr. Phelan continued. Half of this $12.8 million, he claims, can be used to generate more money through the sale of tax exempt bonds, which could provide the city with as much as $50 million to improve or rebuild deteriorating structures. Regarding the growing unemployment, Mr. Phelan claims the present administration has done nothing to provide more jobs for the unemployed. He proposes that the administration make active attempts to attract industry to Buffalo. “The present administration industry is slowly moving out creating waves of knows that of Buffalo, which is unemployment,” Mr. Phelan pointed out. “The Common Council should try to convince industries to locate themselves in Buffalo. This would boost the economy considerably.” of the city Waste Further discussing the poor management of funds by the present administration, Mr. Phelan Housing In response to Mr. Phelan’s housing plan, Mr. Lochte said, “I’m sure housing is in the process of being rejuvenated now, Mr. Mitchell is obviously in favor of housing improvements.” However, Mr. Phelan insists that because the office of President of the Common Council is the second highest office in the city, “it is designed to give the legislative branch of city government an opportunity to compete with the legislative branch of government.” Mr. Phelan paralleled the city council’s present situation with one that existed in New York City until recently. “For years, occupants of the City Council in New York City did not utilize the voice of the public. Now that Council President Paul O’Dwyer is the forefront of economic development, school budget and neighborhood blight 'problems have improved. “The president of the council is like a general. He has to initiate political movements,” Mr. Phelan said.

Mr. Rockefeller claims he gave $550,000 to former Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Chairman William Ronan to "keep a good man in office."

Mr. Ronan also earned about $18,700 in supplemental income, according to New York Magazine. Why does a man earning nearly $100,000 annually require a $550,000 payoff to stay in a position of power? Mr. Ronan has denied any impropriety, but has failed to answer this crucial question. Neither has Mr. Rockefeller. At the very least, their sworn testimony before the Senate Rules Committee is required. It is not very refreshing, especially after hearing a great public outcry against the Nixon administration's "dirty — tricks," to find out that Rockefeller's closest associates, with his brother picking up the tab, arranged for 100,000 copies of a book attacking his opponent to be printed and distributed free of charge. That the former governor, a man with a reputation for never leaving any loose ends, could be oblivious to the book's publication is as credible as Nixon's professed ignorance of the Watergate break-in. Over the years, Mr. Rockefeller has been portrayed as an governor who overwhelmed his extremely popular Democratic opponents in four successive elections. What many have failed to realize, however, is that the vast Rockefeller fortune seems to have scared away the more promising Democratic candidates, leading the way for him to obliterate lesser Democratic luminaries with his massive economic clout. When Mr. Rockefeller was asked by members of the Senate Rules Committee why he rejected pleas by legislators, clergymen, and New York State Commissioner Russell Oswald for his direct intervention at Attica to prevent a massacre, the former Governor said, "I did not believe that this is the way to defend the interests of a free society." Mr. Rockefeller went on to say that he could not have considered amnesty for the rebelling prisoners without the fair and impartial application of the undermining ", law." Yet when questioned about President Ford's pardon of Nixon, he termed it "an act of conscience, compassion and courage." All of these questions raise serious doubts about Mr. Rockefeller's moral competence for the Vice Presidency; at a time when this country so desperately needs to resist the power that money and large corporations exert on the political and judicial processes, his presence in the Executive Branch of government cannot be justified. . . The Spectrum Vol. 25, No. Wednesday, 16 October 1974 24 Editor-in-Chief Larry - Managing Editor Managing Editor — Kraftowitz Amy Now it’s Boston The tension-turned-violence on Boston’s south side is all too familiar to anyone who has grown up in the two decades since Brown vs. the Bd. of Ed. Topeka. As children we saw the same violence in Selma and Birmingham, as teenagers we saw it in Detroit, Newark and Watts. One group fighting another with broken bottles, chains and charges of racism it was ugly then and it is even uglier nor. If for no other reason, then because it is proof that we are as totally incapable of economic and social integration now was we were twenty years ago, because it is lingering proof that we’ve built a flawed society where very few people are equal before the law. South Boston was up in arms last week because a large enough number of parents believed that their children should not be bused across neighborhood lines in sompliance with the federal court order to racially balance the city’s schools. More than a bus ride was involved. It was the fact that the bus ride was from one substandard school to another that had the parents out in the streets. What their children saw and heard last week may render any learning they do in the remainder of their school years anitclimiatic. They’ll see blood and witness racial hatred in its ugliest form. They’ll hear and speak a language of hate. They’ll- remember what they did in the streets but they won’t understand why. Those children will become small cogs in a social order that knows little of them and careseven less. They are going to be the real losers in the Boston School strike. They knwoledge they’ll learn in the street may be the only knowledge theyll put to use for the rest of their lives. Racism is not the heart of the problem, but is the most visible manifestation. Neither the whites in Southside or the blacks in Roxbury have the kind of educational systems that they need. These schools, like most other inner city, merely transmit the problems of one generation onto another. They offer little chance for advancement and the student who is able to transcend the local shortcomings is he exception rather than the rule. Merging the white schools in Southside with the black ones in Roxburry will is not the answer. Integrated schools are not a panacea. - forced bussing creates as many problems as it solves. Only increased funding newer, facilities and better staff can improve the school in Boston. Education is vital; as vital to the white as to the black. The political responses to the unrest have been indirect and counterproductive. They are disguising the inadequacies of he educational system and offerring it up the great good, integrated and balanced schools. In their terminology, it doesn’t really matter what happens in Boston today as long as the overriding social goals are achived tomorrow. Predisent Ford’s reply to whether or not he would authorize federal troops to be sent into the area at last week’s press conference was typical of the political responses to the problem. He evaded the question with rhetoric about how he was opposed to bussing and how it disprupted neighborhood schools. Then he said that the people of Boston should comply with the bussing anyway, grin, and bear it. Mr. Ford either has not idea of what is going on or its totally insensitive to the needs of Roxbury and Southside. For him and other politicians the problem will go away as soon as the children return to school (it doesn’t matter which one). The people of Boston will have to help themselves. They will have to force the issue and demonstrate that racial balance in the schools is a regional problem not a local one. It is time they put the pressure on the peripheral and suburban school districts and organized work together rather than against one another for a better education for their children. If you can have good schools in Roxbury, and good schools in Southside it is far better than poor schools in both and violence between them. Education is the future. It is more important than any court ruling, political deal or public statement. Education is the only way to terminate the long list of racial confrontations over education that began two decades ago. Until the people of Roxbury and Southside realize that nothing can be gained by fighting among themselves, and that they are only passing their racial hatred onto their children, they will be totally unable to transcend the petty differences which obscure the real problem. -Michael O’Neill Ivory tower Dunkin Michael O'Neill Gerry McKeen Advertising Manager Neil Collins Business Manager — — To the Editor. — Backpage . .... .

As a full-time worker and part-time (Millard Fillmore) student, I was very much heartened by your editorial in favor of the colleges and against the scholars into the academic community. And still certain members of the Faculty-Senate take “academic legitimacy” to mean polite ways to keep out all who do not share their reactionary policy of education by ivory towers. Dr. Reichert, Dr. Hochfield, what do your PhD’s Though long academic phrases may obscure this, mean to the workers at Bethlehem Steel or other there is nothing that certain elements of the faculty local plants, trying to feed their families? These and administration would rather do than exclude people, who have as much of a right to a relevant everyone who could not or would not earn a PhD. education as the children of professionals, are spat Although common sense would dictate that upon by the advocates of total irrelevance, and then expertise is gained by experience as well as degrees, accused of being “anti-intellectual” when they these elitists persist in trying to keep the community protest. So, go ahead, use big words to screw anyone out of our University. Does a photographer need a PhD? Does he need more progressive than you (which isn’t too hard to a degree at all? Who was the last President with a be). Bury the colleges under mountains of political science degree? “value-free” reports. But just don’t try to pretend Even as non-progressive a person as Gerald Ford you’re part of the city of Buffalo. has called for the inclusion of non-professional Mike McGuire faction that is trying to destroy them. �A larger picture To the Editor. Literature concerning the question of available facilities on campus seems to center about a moral issue of privilege vs. right. However, in times of limited funds, I’m sure many members of the University community would be interested in facts of a “hard” economic nature such as how many day-care and/or children presently receive the of such facilities, how many potentially could, what is the “real” cost including rent if physical space is now allotted by the University and if people are presently compensated by non-day-care funding? Does the center in question cost more than similar centers external to the University, etc. Before being asked to rally for support, 1 think a larger picture should be presented. students benefit Thomas Connelly Diana Ross fantastic To the Editor. In response to Paul R. Harding’s jazz article, I strongly take issue with Mr. Harding in his comments about the great Diana Ross. What is his basis of equating the fantastic recording, career that Ms. Ross has had with Doris Day’s? Diana Ross not only is a great singer but she also can act. Her portrayal of Billie Holliday in “Lady Sings The Blues” was nothing short of spectacular and she deserves to be praised for it, not as Mr. Harding seems to imply by questioning her responsibility for her protrayal of “some fictional Billie Holliday.” Billie Holliday was truly a fine singer with an extraordinary voice, that only someone with a voice as fine as Diana Ross could try to imitate. Ms. Ross’ singing in “Lady” was of such high quality that had Billie been alive today, she would have praised it. As far as “Touch Me In The Morning” goes. Miss Ross’ vocal performance was one of the best by any vocalist in years and is not in any way, form or shape similar to a “Doris Day of the Black charts.” So, from not only me, but for all Diana Ross fans, I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity to show the true feeling of people towards the great Diana Ross! Thank you. Steven Brieff frorr here to ther by Garry Wills One of my earliest memories is of patriotic collecting. During World War II, we children collected for the scrap rubber drive old tires went to the war effort, instead of being strung up on tree branches for use as swings. Even the innertubes were surrendered, though we used to save them for floating in. Anyone foolish enough to leave a garden hose out on the lawn at night was liable to find, in the morning, that he had donated to the war effort without knowing it. I don’t think all this pother about scrap metal and rubber, and not wearing nylons, did much to “beat the Japs,” as we liked to think. A good deal of it came under the heading of psychological conditioning. A little effort of that sort created a general atmosphere of readiness to sacrifice. The shole nation participated, to some measure, in the determination to pay the costs of war. Our little donations indeed, much of the imposed rationing was a form of propaganda. There’s much to be said against most forms of propaganda; but the donations to help end the war were less objectionable than racist war movies and all the calculated incitements to hatred. I read recently a wartime defense of the propagandists who were instilling hatred of all Japanese and German people. It was written by Rex Stout. No wonder Earl Warren locked up the Nisei. All these memories came back when I heard President Ford tell the economic summit that we should make up little Lenten lists of what we are willing to “give up” for the duration of the energy crisis and inflation. The mechanics of the thing sound childish; and the particular sacrifices we — — — '‘Can't I Have A Bigger Button Or Something?' — But perhaps the suggestion that we ready ourselves for a great national effort is not silly. Inflation, the energy shortage, the monetary crisis all these are symptoms of a larger and growing historical problem, the crisis of indiscriminate and voracidus consumption. We are simply eating our planet up too fast. The forces that drove our explosive expansion across the continent in the nineteenth century and our thrust outward in this century are anachronisms now. What helped us and gave us power before can only hurt and weaken us. We cannot go on this way. - The signs are all around us. We do not need Doomsday utterances. There are too many people destroying too many fields and forests and resources, crowding up against each other, chasing and causing crime. We all see the space filling up. My children live in a far more constricted world than the one where we “collected” rubber. Our dependence on oil, on electricity (remember the blackout?), on planes that cannot afford fuel and trains that cannot keep up their rail beds is part of a cumulative crisis. We do have to start giving up things, and for a longer time than any Lent. We should start by giving up big cars, and some airline routes, and various kinds of junk products. Making a list of ten such things would not be hard, and certainly will not hurt anyone. It might even help. President Ford, trying to build a better mickeymouse trap, is at least nudging us in the right direction. Beat the system To the Editor —feedback— whink up may not be much in themselves. In ;ed, it suggested that such mickeymouse measures are proof that the Administration has nothing real it can think of to stop inflation. So, as an act of desperation, it is telling “us” to stop it after all, “we” started it. Well, here we go again. This University really is hurting! First the administration cuts funds for the Day Care Center; now they (Traffic Control Advisory Board) are going to charge us for parking on campus. Ten-cent, 30-minute meters have been installed at the Lockwood Library lot. What rationale did the TCAB use when it decided to charge us for parking? Who gets this money, and who decides what to use it for? Remember, any system that can be devised can be beaten. Mark Carton Destroying something vital see many of the “day care” people; a generation in change. My three year old son, however, is the generation of tomorrow. If we are to help him and others realize their individual potentials, allow him the right of becoming his own person, to give his generation the benefit of what so many are suffering through now, the concept of competent, professional day care for them as we care for ourselves becomes not a right but a necessity. I have worked at the center a few times and This is where I To the Editor. I am separated from my wife (now a student at U.B.) and son. As such I feel a deep concern about the current day care funding controversy. As I see it, the major thrust of the pro-day care people is “it’s a right (for women) not a privilege,” while the anti-day care people concern themselves with “why should so few spend so much” type logic. If this be the case, I feel both sides are missing the one really crucial aspect; that is, what the center or lack thereof will do for the children. My reasons. One of our basic problems in society has been and continues to be lack of respect for the individual, a role expectation for male/female, an inability to deal with feelings, a using of “shoulds” as the prime rationale for actions. Much of this, as we know, is a carryover from past generations. Thankfully, however, this is changing: men and women are trying to break out from these patterns and are attempting to become individuals. visited there often. If one could see the love that is present, the concern for the individual (and yes, a child is often times more a person than we); if one could realize just how much can be done for all by such a center, there would be no controversy. Quite selfishly, my major concern is for Aaron. He is being exposed to so many beautiful things, so many experiences, so many potentials that 1 look in disbelief as money, something so unimportant, destroys something so vital. Richard A. Liguori Fund ‘Art” To the Editor. We of Ari the Jewish student magazine, would to express our dissatisfaction with the inadequate funding granted us by Sub-Board. Although it is true that all special interest publications have had to vie for limited funds this year, we feel that Ari should have received more funds than it did if only by virtue of its readership and frequency of publication (eight issues last year). It is solely through the support of the people at University Press that we received any monies at all. In the past few months, we have received many requests from our subscribers for reprints of our issue devoted to Jewish women (April 1974). Ari maintains an active mailing list covering Buffalo and , like elsewhere, including university libraries both here and in Israel, We feel that Ah has made a significant contribution to the University community. It has served as a means of involvement and creative Jewish expression for freshmen, commuter and dorm students, among others.

Basically a Catholic organization, Newman people are involved in teaching, counseling and coordinating various activities, both religious and secular. Father John Chandler, the Newman chaplain, is new on campus. A graduate of St. Bonaventure University, Father Chandler has spent the last 10 years working in the inner city. In discussing his plans for the club, Fr. Chandler explained that “a common language we have is music.” He hopes to work with experimental liturgies, utilizing drama, the dance, music and art, in various ways, in order to achieve a higher level of communication through community blending and synthesizing the various media. Referring to the planned liturgy, he said, “It is our hope to present to the Catholic community and others on the University campus a true sense of the sacred as expressed in the classical, modem and contemporary modes. Through music, art, drama and dance, we propose to present an experience of man as he has expressed his understanding of the sacred.” Activity center 12 noon and 5 p.m. There are weekend Masses at 5 p.m. Saturdays in Norton 332, and at 7 p.m. at the Cantalician Chapel at 3233 Main Street. Sunday Masses are at 9 and 10:30 a.m. and at 12 noon at the Cantalician Chapel, and there is a Spanish Mass at 7 p.m. Sunday in the Newman Center. The teaching activities of the Center revolve around the religious education of children attending public schools. Currently, only about 42 children, mostly the families of University staff members, are registered in the program, which extends to all grade levels. The instructors are volunteers from diverse backgrounds. Pat Burgen, the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) coordinator, and Mary Ann Steffan are mothers and housewives; Cheree Fogarty, Katy Kotansky and Janice Manolopoulos are students. The purpose of CCD is, in Fr. Chandler’s words, to impart “what the gospel has to say and how the Church is reflecting it in the twentieth century.” He sees CCD not as a method of “bringing religion” to children, but rather as reinforcing the efforts of the meaning of parents in communicating the Catholicism to their children. “All we can do,” said Fr. Chandler, “is confirm the religious education that is given at home.” The instructors see their task as particularly demanding, since most of the children they are teaching come from educators’ homes and thus are more cognizant than some others of the The Newman Center itself is a large home at 1 5 University Ave., near the comer of Main Street and Niagara Falls Blvd. It functions as an activity and recreation center and as a drop-in haven of sorts.

Other states followed until a total of 20 PIRGs existed with support from 140 schools across the nation began in Syracuse in 1972. In less than a year, it extended to Albany and New York, and it now operates in NYPIRG Binghamton, Buffalo, Manhattan, and Queens as well. A recent major project of NYPIRG has been the publication of state legislative profiles. Also, with the aid of a full-time professional staff of lawyers and researchers, NYPIRG deals with agency employment discimination, fuel prices, and pharmacy supermarket pricing guides, and medical service costs.

(Tony Barrand and John Roberts, originally scheduled for Wed., Oct. 16, will not be appearing due to prior commitments.) Jim Ringer has been described as “looking like he’s been through the hard times he sings about,” and his craggy face could easily have belonged to a prospector or a miner forty-niner. He sings about cowboys, bums, traveling, trains, love, hard times and easy times. Jim writes many of his own songs, and does them in a simple, straightforward way, accompanying himself on guitar and “echo” harmonica.

Bill Maraschiello — _ �VW race Hear 0 Israel For gems from the Jewish Bible Phone 875-4265 — — How far can you go on a quart of gas? Pretty far, is the answer, as demonstrated by Volkswagen of America at “The 32 Ounces of Watkins Glen” held on Grand Prix weekend. The second annual VW economy run saw sports writers and editors from 19 and general circulation newspapers college competing to see how much mileage they could squeeze out of a piddling amount of petrol. I was right in the middle of the whole thing, waving the flag for Buffalo. Now in an economy contest, the idea is not to finish first, but to maximize the efficiency of one’s meager fuel supply. That may well mean that he who finishes last is showered with blessings from VW of A. Never having been in this sort of thing before, I wasn’t really sure what one does to conserve gas, 1 mean, I’m not a fanatic on gas mileage my driving habits don’t allow me to think of such things. Extra air in the tires, disconnecting anti-pollution equipment, throwing away of seats, fenders and other unnecessaries (the driver?) were all against the rules, so me and my green Super Beetle had to figure out the best way to do this. Actually, me car was only mine for a weekend normally it has a happy home as a “Kelly Cared for Car” at Jim Kelly’s Checktowaga dealership. Kelly’s sales manager, Fred Stock, suggested that an egg placed between my right foot and the go pedal would help. Sure Fred, and who did you think was gonna clean up that mess? - - Fiddling around After arriving at The Glen with an incredible amount of camping stuff crammed into that surprisingly big-on-the-inside bug, my pit crew and I went to the staging area where a horde of Teutonic types descended on the car applying all manner of taping a plastic quart bottle to the rear and in general, fiddling around. Finally, the moment of my debut as a race driver arrived. Maureen (who functioned exceedingly well as my pit crew throughout) gave me a kiss, as drivers’ wives are wont to do before a major race, and 1 lined up next to the car. It was to be a LeMans start so the cars were backed against the pit wall, facing diagonally down the track. The drivers were to line up on the other side of the track, and at the signal, were to run to the cars, jump in and race. But not before Chris Economaki got a chance to do his thing. He interviewed the whole row of drivers, accused me of being too young to be married and in college, and embarrassed the whole bunch of us. What a jerk! We eyed each other nervously as the 30-second signal was given. At the flag, we madly dashed (it was more like a trot, since every one still felt pretty dumb after being interviewed by C.E.) to the cars. As 1 reached my green, No. 6 Beetle, I was overcome by the competitive urge. I jumped in, turned on the ignition with one hand, buckled my safety belt with the other, slammed the gearbox into first and took off! Exit 3 ounces of gas out the rear tubes.

I knew that not using my brakes would conserve gas so I fought for the line that would take me around without having to slacken my speed. Cars were everywhere. In front, behind, around. I could just see myself on Monday morning as 1 handed the keys back to the man: “Uh it was like this!! . , Fortunately, Fred, you see no scrape of metal was heard and 1 was through the mob and heading past the pits and into the S turns.

That first lap traffic was tough. Sweat was pouring out of me, soaking my fireproof Nomex underwear, and clouding my visor! Down into “The Anvil” I saw the brake lights of the car ahead of me go on and I snickered to myself as I slipped by on the inside. As I came by the pits, I looked in my rear view mirror at my fuel supply, which, surprisingly, was still pretty well up there. Three times I passed the pits. The last time, I looked at my tank and 1 knew I was running on fumes. So did my pit crew, as she held up the “Slow” sign, telling me to conserve what I had left. i | JUST BACK FROM INTRODUCING THE z ?

Now my race was run. 1 coasted to a stop in front of two other cars that had also fallen victim to the S turns. A few more cars went by and then it was all over. After my fuel tank was reconnected, I drove around to the pits somewhat faster than the 30-35 mph that fuel economy dictated for the race. We all went to the winner’s circle where old Chris E. was on hand to make inane comments as the prize money and champagne were handed out by Rob Schron of Worldwide Volkswagen. Remembering the old Brock Yates “Armpit of the East” story, witty Chris wondered how it was that I was from Buffalo and didn’t have a wart on my nose. Atta boy Chris, you idiot.

Earlier the Bulls had struggled through a 3-3 stalemate with a mediocre St. Bonaventure squad. Jim Young, Buffalo’s forward and top career scorer, was held without a goal by the Bonnies, snapping an 11-game scoring streak for him. However, Young came back with two against Ohio.

The College also attempts to review how developing nations can progress without doing harm to the environment, Dr. Howell emphasized. Campus Editor Environmental ethic Mark Bronstein, outdoor course coordinator, told the Chartering Committee that the outdoor programs help students develop a sensitivity to nature and the environment. “Field trips show that the environment is not a harsh thing and man can exist in it without doing damage; it develops an environmental ethic,” he observed. Rachel Carson College offers a series of environmental skills seminars for one credit, and more extensive four-credit indoor and outdoor programs. Single credit courses in biking, hiking and backpacking, among others, meet nine times a semester. Other outdoor courses, however, require a greater time commitment on the part of the student. Organic Survival, for example, requires two-day weekend outings throughout the semester. Rachel Carson also offers internship programs, independent study, non-credit projects and environmental action activities, such as the project said the Prospectus mandates that one person be designated as full-time head of the College, and asked why Rachel Carson could not comply. “One person, in the absence of pay and release time, cannot do all the work,” Dr. Paigen explained. The College presently operates without a secretary or administrative assistant, she said, which increases the amount of work and time required of the directors. “I will not make a two-year commitment (as director) to Rachel Carson unless the University” is in turn willing to make a substantial commitment of support to our programs, Dr. Paigen asserted. Lack of support Dr. Howell informed the Committee that he is leaving the University in June, partly because of the University’s lack of support for environmental studies. “1 saw no long term future for the Colleges in developing an environmental program,” he said. Dr. Howell cited problems which have prevented the expansion of environmental studies here.

A $100,000 bribe, offered for his silence by White House agent Jack Caulfield, and a talk with E. one-time teacher of criminal law, Monday evening to an audience of 300 at Buffalo State College. He denied any connection between the actions of the men who committed the crimes and the FBI or CIA. “I always worked in the outfield, but those were fine decent people.

McCord said of the organizations. Bribes Mr. McCord said he had waited to tell his story at the Senate Watergate hearings rather than at his trial because of the Senate Committee’s independence from presidential influence, its and its subpoena power willingness to follow up on leads. James McCord He was very impressed with the members of the committee, he said. Mr. McCord did not have such feelings about what positive Nixon’s approval Mr. McCord also mentioned difficulties with his own defense lawyer, against whom he has filed a malpractice suit. “At one point my lawyer gave me a two-day pitch to use a false defense blaming the CIA for my actions,” he charged. A powerful motive for his participation in the break-in was immunity, he enormous power of the Presidency, which, Mr. McCord said had an intense attraction for “without strings” the him. “We were all fairly certain the President had given his final approval to the plan. I didn’t believe then and don’t now that it could have occurred from any other circumstances,” Mr. McCord said. He cited a conversation with his two daughters in July 1972 as the point at which he decided to write Judge John Sirica and offer to divulge all he knew about the Watergate operation. “After that I was simply looking for the right place and time to tell it,” he said. In spite of the financial, personal and national consequences, he related, once his decision to tell all was final, he was sure it was right. Mr. McCord is currently taking on speaking engagements to “ease the pain” of the $60,000 to 100,000 debt he has incurred for fees. Explaining that his decision to talk was not contingent upon a promise of $ legal said he testified so that he could tell his story in his own way and have the greatest effect. He felt no heroic motivation, he said. No equal justice Mr. McCord recounted the days he spent in a Washington, D.C. jail on “murderer’s row” with 25 men who were “up for the job” (murder). With some bitterness, he charged that th’e people who were guilty, but who occupied high positions, like John Mitchell seven and Richard Nixon, got away with no punishment at all. His feelings on the Nixon pardon have led him to file a civil suit challenging the legality of President Ford’s action. Mr. McCord complained about the inequality in sending men to jail on the basis of status rather than guilt. “Nixon can still be called to testify against men whose illegal actions he directed,” he said. ‘The pardon came before Nixon was indicted. There is no precedent for that.” �Open forum precedes SASU re elections The number of representatives each campus sends to SASU is proportional to the number of students enrolled there. The organization is funded through a $60 fee per student, collected from each participating school. About 95 percent of all state-operated schools are members of SASU, Mr. Rodriguez said. by Mitchell Regenbogen Campus Editor Elections for representatives to the Student Association of the State University of New York (SASU) will take place October 17. SASU is a four-year-old statewide student government representing the interests of over 150,000 SUNY students. It handles a varie ■ y of student services, including lobbying at the state legislature, sponsoring insurance programs, purchasing cooperatives and travel and tourism packages, and operating a SUNY news network for campus newspapers and radio stations. Invalid election The election for this University’s SASU representatives was held last spring, but was invalidated after determining that at least one voting machine malfunctioned, according to Janet Mrozowski, SA Director of Elections and Credentials. Overturning the results of the election was the result of an appeal by one of the candidates. Ms. Mrozowski said that because of a decision by members of the SA —Santos Executive Committee, all nine candidates’ names would again appear on the current ballot. The new election will be held Thursday, Oct. 17. Any student of campus presidents and the availability of full-time day undergraduate student may vote at the financial aid. Within the past several years, SASU has grown from a following times; Norton 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Diefendorf 10 to 9 p.m.; Goodyear 12 semi-organized, loosely associated confederation into a a.m. to 5 p.m.; Lehman 3 p.m. Jacket (ping pong room) 12 noon to noon to 10 Red p.m.; with a full-time staff of students centrally organized group and offices located at the State Gapitol Building in Albany. 9 p.m. The candidates on the ballot (in order of Working with SASU is the Student Assembly of the appearance) will be: Barbara Ranagan, Janice Carver, William Atchley, David State University, acting as an advisory body to Chancellor Michele Smith, Edward Rosenfeld, Sullivan, Charles Goldberg.

Rodriguez explained. Effective lobbying Bob Rodriguez, former SASU president, explained that SASU conducts activities that would be impossible for local student governments. He said SAiSU was effective because “Albany doesn’t have many effective lobbying groups,” adding that SASU helps equalize student voices with faculty and administration. SASU was founded in the summer of 1970 as a reaction to the lack of student representation in the selection of Ernest L. Boyer as SUNY Chancellor and in SUNY’s decision to raise tuition. In its short history, SASU has become involved in a variety of other student related issues as well. These include the Board of Trustee guidelines governing the expenditure of mandatory student fees; legislative reaction to campus disruptions; evaluation Bob Rodriguez National disaster? I Group challenges pot report The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) has challenged the recently-released report of the Senate subcommittee on Internal Security, which claims that the use of marijuana represents “a trend towards national disaster.” In the report’s introductory remarks. Senator James 0. Eastland, Democrat of Mississippi, said if the current rate of marijuana use continued, Americans might find themselves “saddled with a large population of semi-zombies.” NORML Director Keith Stroup called the Eastland Report “the most amazing piece of self-serving fiction and distortion to come out of the Congress since the McCarthy hearings in the early 1950’s.” The report, claims Mr. Stroup, does not represent a consensus of scientific opinion, either government or private. “The report is an embarrassment to those seriously interested in the problems of drug use and abuse in our society, and a disservice to those who are objectively attempting to determine the possible harmful effects of marijuana,” Mr. Stroup continued..

(In the report’s introduction, Senator Eastland stated, “We make no apology, therefore, for the one sided nature of our hearings they were deliberately planned this way.”) Much of the testimony attempted to connect the use of marijuana with Communism and the New left. Senator Eastland apparently wanted to depict marijuana as a devious Communist plot to justify jurisdiction for the Internal Security subcommittee, itself an “anachronism of the McCarthy era.” Senator Eastland showed (overwhelming concern for exaggerated marijuana claims, but de-emphasized the clearly demonstrated serious harm from alcohol and tobacco. — — — Imported Wines Liquors & Cordials Domestic & 2345 Millersport Highway Getzville, NY. 14068 Getzville Plaza 688-6666 THE GASLIGHT LAST 2680 Main St. corner Amherst — CLASS SCHEDULE: ?

At least $100 was spent to publicize both events. A few years ago, Mr. Irving, a relatively unknown author, fooled the publishing world by selling an “authorized biography” of Hughes, the billionaire recluse, to high level executives at Life Magazine. He nearly pulled the hoax of the century until Mr. Hughes finally spoke to the press and exposed the almost-perfect fraud. Who’s to blame? The agencies which represent Mr. Irving were involved with the September-October mix ups, but no one is admitting blame for the cancellations. According to Mr. Morrow, the Speakers Bureau had at first contacted the Harry Walker Agency, which at that time had Mr. Irving under exclusive management and a contract was signed for $1500. Mr. Irving’s first engagement was scheduled for Sept. 4. Mr. Morrow was notified a few weeks later, however, that the contract had been transferred to the Phillip Citron Agency, and that the original commitment would be honored. However, a representative from the Harry Walker Agency informed Mr. Morrow during the last week of August that a problem with Mr. Irving’s parole board had arisen. Mr. Irving, it seems, had not applied in time for Parole Board clearance for the speaking engagement. (A parolee must apply two weeks ahead of time for clearance.) As a result, he could not come to Buffalo. Taking a chance Undaunted by this experience, Mr. Morrow felt that Mr. Irving was worth “the gamble” and began drawing up a new contract with the Harry Walker Agency. At the same time, Norm Chamlin of the Mili Domo Agency claimed his firm represented Mr. Irving. Thus, it was up to the Harry Walker Agency to contact the Phillip Citron Agency to contact Norm Chamlin so that the Parole Board would grant clearance to Mr. Irving. Assuming that the speech would go on as scheduled, the Speakers’ Bureau put up posters 'a week before Mr. Irving’s scheduled “appearance.” Around noon Tuesday, though, Mr. Morrow received CZ3CIDIZ3CZIIZCI3CIZCIZIII3IZIDCIZCIZIZDC IDCi:tZ^CDCZZ3CIDlII3l=^ai3DIZD[IZ]CDCi: i —ir-icnr~ii—11—11—imannnnc □ C3 CI3 □ tZD C=D C=3 CI3 C=3 CZ3 czn □=□ CD CZ CZ3 CZ3CZ3 □□ CZ3CZ3 tzz CZ3C3]CZ3 EZDCZ3C D C=3 □ CZ3 □ C=Z CZ [Z3CZ3 C=Z □ CZC3C3 i —i| — n—ii—?r~mzi cziciiiiziiicziczdcziczic 1? 1-1 ??

Norm Chamlin claimed he had not received notification of the Oct. 8 engagement until the first of the month, and therefore could not arrange clearance for Mr. Irving. On the other hand, the original two agencies (Harry Walker and Philip Citron) reported that Mr. Chamlin was indeed aware of the situation well before Oct. 1 and that Mr. Irving’s parole board wanted to know only where the author would stay while in Buffalo. Mr. Morrow indicated that the issue would be brought to court to determine who, if anyone, is responsible for the cancellations. The only person maintaining silence on the issue is Mr. Irving himself. Asked if the author would be approached again, once legal matters are settled, Mr. Morrow responded, “I wouldn’t touch him with a ten-foot pole.” Lack offlood control slows North Campus development by David Haitkin Staff Writer Spectrum Flood control around the Ellicott Creek, which is one of the major problems in the way of the development of the new campus, appears to be nearing a solution. The Army Corps of Engineers is scheduled to come up with a plan acceptable to the University, the Town of Amherst, the State’s Urban Development Corp (UDC), and members of environmental and other interest groups by Dec. 1, according to Dan Kelly, Corps enginner in charge of the project. Because of the flatness of the land around the new campus and new Audubon community, the threat of flooding has been a serious consideration in developing the area, John D. Telfer, vice-president for Facilities for the Planning University explained. The Ellicott Creek is inadequate to contain its waters in the peak flow periods, of Spring and during winter thaws, he said, noting that during the summer and early fall, low flow periods, the Creek is well-known for its stench. Possible solutions to these problems include some form of man-made channeling as well as a reservoir for “low flow augmentation,” he said. Diversion One solution proposed by the Army Corps of Engineers was a 120-foot-wide major diversion to the Creek’s channel, to run from Maple Rd. most of the way around the new campus. Because of the great scar on the landscape such a channel would cause, though, and because it would render a large area of University land between the channel and the Creek unusable, the University strongly objected to the plan. Mr. Telfer explained that in addition to these objections, the major diversion channel would have created the need for up to six additional bridges, each with a potential cost to the state of $ 1 million. The proposal would also interfere with plans for a park around the Creek. Mr. Telfer said that because of these problems, the University “put a stopper on it,” citing a letter from President Ketter as instrumental in killing the plan. The UDC, planners for the new Audubon community, also voiced strong objections to the major diversion channel, as , did environmental and community groups with ecological concern. The problem originally arose when the state withdrew support of the proposed Sand Ridge which had been Reservoir, acceptable to all parties involved except those in the community it was going to be built. When people in the town of Alden at the headwaters of the Ellicott — * „ Friday, JJ Creek found out that the reservoir would dispalce and inconvenience people in their community people to benefit some distance away, in the town they began of Amherst, to complain. The state then soon began to reconsider the project ostensibly, because of its prohibitive costs. — Compromise At present the Army Corps of is looking for a compromise solution that Mr. Kelly hopes “will make everybody Engineers happy.” According to Mr. Telfer, what is being planned are a series of “mini-diversion channels,” ditches designed to smooth out kinks in the course of the Creek that will make its flow efficient enough for flood control purposes. In combination with these minor channels, a short section of a major diversion channel near Maple Rd. is also planned. This seems the most likely solution to the problem. Bossert, of the State’s of Environmental Conservation, noted that by now Dale Dept. all the parties are coming close to a compromise. The next public hearing to hear proposals from the Corps of Engineers will be held on Thursday, Nov. 7, at Sweet Home Senior High, October. 1974...Th^Spectrypn^P^three �discussed Sub-Board activities of Multi-faceted Faced with a huge debt from of years’ bills because past by Diane R.

Dr, Hochfield was referring to a clause in the Trustees’ guidelines which states that “the faculty of the college shall have to obligation participate significantly in the initiation, development and implementation of the educational plan . . Dr. Hochfield feels that the Faculty-Senate is more organized each and effective than the Student Assembly. “The teachers have a common uniting factor on their side,” he said. “The University provides us with our livelihood, so we are sincerely concerned with perpetuating and bettering it,” Dr. Hochfield explained. Students also have an interest in improving the college, but that it is not strong enough to motivate them to form a strong government, he added. Since 1970, the Faculty-Senate a evolved from has “town meeting,” where anyone was welcome to attend and vote, to a more sophisticated representative body. Each of the seven faculties, loosely-structured (Arts and Letters, Educational Studies, Engineering and Applied Sciences, Health Sciences, Law and Jurisprudence, Natural Sciences Social Sciences) is represented in proportion to its staff population and may elect its voting members in whatever manner it chooses. By-laws Faculty writes its own by-laws which must be approved by President Robert Ketter, Dr. Hochfield said. Faculty-Senate committees are established to deal with specialized areas of interest. They are expected to come up with a recommendation to the full Senate after researching a Each During the late sixties and early seventies, the Senate was an arena in which issues like the Vietnam War were discussed and academic topics were nearly academicignored. Today, oriented topics, such as pass-fail, grading system and four-course load are under active scrutiny. Dr. Hochfield said the pass-fail system is being re-evaluated as a result of a resolution passed five years ago, which mandated that the faculty review the issue of Some periodically. grading professors have complained that only the student has the option to take a course pass-fail, while they cannot adopt or reject the system at their own discretion. Several faculty have also been student “plea aggravated by bargaining,” whereby a student switches back and forth from one grading system to another, according to his present grade status, Dr. Hochfield explained.

NEW YORK �Support of labor union boosts Carey campaign by Joseph P. Esposito City Editor — recent endorsement Democratic of gubernatorial candidate Hugh Carey by the New York State AFL-CIO may well have been enough to guarantee that “Happy Days Are Here Again” will be playing in the Governor’s Mansion next year. A Carey victory would represent the first time since 1958 that a Democrat has been governor. The AFL-CIO endorsement carries with it campaign contributions and volunteers, but most importantly, delivers a setback psychological to the faltering campaign of incumbent Malcolm Wilson. The head of the Union’s Executive Council had hoped to secure the endorsement for Mr. Wilson, but by the time of the AFL-CIO convention, the best of the Wilson supporters could hope for was to deadlock the endorsement to prevent it from going to the Democrats. They did not succeed. Introductory Offer future. • The 36th Congressional which includes Niagara County, has had a Republican Representative in Congress since 1915. The incumbent, Henry P. Smith, was elected for the first time in the Democratic landslide of 1964. The Democrat who is seeking to replace the retiring Mr. Smith is considered to have an excellent chance of winning the seat.

If the Democrats assume the election is won, Mr. Carey may be just another in a long line of Democrats who tried but failed to be governor. But with under a month till the election, it seems unlikely that the Democrats will, as Gore Vidal once said, “Grasp defeat from the jaws of victory.” .

The Republican’s were recently accused of trying to buy off a Conservative Party candidate for governor. The New York Daily News reported Monday that the Republican Party gave $100,000 to Conservative Party candidate J. David Bullard to withdraw from the race. This may cost the some hard-core Republicans conservative votes. endorsement in 1970, taking away traditional component of Democratic coalition labor unions. Mr. Carey has reclaimed labor support as part of his campaign to rebuilt a coalition that will put Democrats in office throughout state government. A poll taken after the primary gave Mr. Carey a commanding lead while dampening the morale of the Nixon campaign. More damaging to the fate of the Republicans, however, was the fact that the Brooklyn Democrat was cutting heavily into the moderate and Catholic support so crucial to Republican chances this fall. There have been reports that the Wilson camp has recently been moving in a different direction. Evidence of this may be found in Wilson’s apparent decision to run “against the Democrats” instead of “for the office.” a SENECA MALL 826-3413 Ml Man Callad Horse 4:55-9:40 Plus!

THE JBL DESIGN FORMULA MAKES SENSE. A high-efficiency speaker like a JBL needs a less expensive amplifier to attain adequate volume levels, so the consumer can spend more of his system budget on the most important link in the system, the speakers. Secondly, JBL speakers do not only have excellent frequency response characteristics. Every JBL speaker also has outstanding "clarity”, a very important factor in speaker selection. 3. FINALLY, JBL IS THE STANDARD FOR SPEAKER WORKMANSHIP. They are the only speaker company that is actually producing every part of the speaker. Other manufacturers have less control over quality since they buy cabinets or tweeters, etc. from someone else. So we're not just saying "Buy a JBL. It's a good-sounding speaker."

Robert Hunt, Director of Environmental Health and Safety, believes the meters will help alleviate some of the congestion. ‘The meters will afford parking for 30-minute intervals, and with this system there is the possibility of parking as many as 100 cars a day,” he predicted. Interest in the idea was generated about a year ago. “We’ve had the meters for a while,” Mr. Hunt said. The only cost encountered was the cleaning and replacing of several parts which didn’t exceed $20. Campus Security is in charge of enforcing the new parking rules. The program begins on Monday, Oct. 31 and enforcement hours will run from 8 a.m. to 8 pjn. In addition the income collected from violations and fines will be used in a special fund to “insure the success of the program,” Mr. Hunt said. The program has been set up with the cooperation of the Buffalo Parking Violation Board and the New York State Traffic Commission. All fines must be paid at the Buffalo Parking Violation Board.

A gift to the United Way, according to the campaign slogan, supports many agencies. One reason why so many social service agencies join the United Way is because of its unique budgeting setup.

The Spectrum Page seven ( »f<' rf /-> �1Editorial Our decision Five years after the Colleges let some fresh air into this years of countless attacks on their academic integrity, legitimacy and very purpose, their future is finally on the line. A chartering committee created by the FacultySenate convened this week to decide, once and for all, whether experimental and non-traditional approaches to education have a place here. For all the attempts to give the chartering process an appearance of fairness and academic impartiality, the hearings themselves have the air of a Grand Jury proceeding about them. The entire Reichert Prospectus smacks of E, F, faculty supremacy, and the more radical colleges justifiably feel they Modern Education and Social Sciences have no chance of winning approval from the chartering committee. Many Colleges will be greatly handicapped because committee approval will depend to a great extent on the number of faculty each College is able to recruit. After making vigorous attempts to attract progressive faculty, many Colleges have failecl because: 1) there are few progressives on this campus; 2) the tight job market has frightened progressives with tenure and promotion in mind away from the Colleges; and 3) the Colleges have no money. To make things worse, the community people who have been the major impetus behind the growth of the Colleges as an alternative to traditional learning are likely to be spurned by the chartering committee, all in the name of "legitimacy." We cannot help but wonder about the nature of the egotism that makes Jonathan Reichert and others think their presence in a classroom for an hour does more for a student than a class with an unlettered, uncredentialed instructor who did not spend some of the best years of his life at the typewriter with a doctoral thesis. By forcing the Colleges to recruit faculty they knew all along could not be recruited and limiting the number of community people who can teach in a college, the FacultySenate has effectively dismantled the more progressive Colleges before they even face the chartering committee. Characteristic of this University's obsession with classroom learning is the fact that a college like Rachel Carson must justify itself after providing scores of students with the only real opportunity to explore crucial environmental concerns. Winning on important social battle against a huge conglomerate that was polluting the air in many Buffalo communities could never have been achieved in a computerized academic department laden with rigid, standardized requirements. Perhaps the most glaring irony of all is that students here must defend why they should be allowed to explore alternative views and apporaches to life, whether in parapsychology, radical politics, media studies, or through community involvement. The right to an education is basic. As consumers of education, the things students are learning right this minute will have to be applied some time in the future. Everyone, even faculty, will agree that the world is changing at an almost maddening pace. If the American political system remains obsolete and the environment falls apart in 20 or 30 years, we, not Jonathan Reichert or George Hochfield, will be the ones left to deal with it. Do we therefore not have the right to decide what educational processes will best prepare us for a world that will be left in our hands.

The private day care suggestion in Monday’s letter to the Editor was strangely reminiscent of “Let Them Eat Cake.” As a graduate student and mother of a school-age child, living at subsistence level, I resent having my mandatory fees used to finance a newspaper which prints letters in two consecutive issues denying my right to an education. Let’s separate the issues. In terms of equal opportunity, day care is a right; without it, poor and/or single parents are denied the basic opportunity to attend school or work. The funding of such programs is a separate issue. It would be hard for a coddled, middle class, American male to fees to pay for child care, it seems obvious that arguments against using the same to serve a small group can be leveled against almost any organization so funded at this University. How many parents (it’s about time we had some statistics of the number of students enrolled in this University who are parents) have their mandatory fees used to subsidize entertainment which is denied to them because they cannot afford the going rate of $ 1.25/hr. for babysitting. How many are unable to attend evening lectures, etc. for the same reason? It’s about time non-parent students woke up to the fact that parent students, the ones who can least afford this, are subsidizing entertainment, from which they are appreciate possible circumstances which put people excluded, with their mandatory fees. into the above category.

Something unusual would happen as the the first leprechaun in the first row songs ended to applaud, then he stopped and the next started began, and it went on to the next leprechaun and worked its way all around the room, each of us (if I can be included in this group) giving one clap.

As the transformed ensemble ended the song I stood up and burst into applause, and found myself all alone again. The room was dark, and cold. Tom stood on stage with my leprechaun friend, who whipped out his magic joint and sent Tom into a daze. He stumbled over to the piano, staring blankly at the keys. The leprechaun brought him a blank sheet of music paper, and started writing notes, and as soon as each note was on the paper, Tom played it for us. The leprechaun began to write faster and faster, and Tom kept up with him, not knowing what he was doing, playing whatever sprang into the leprechaun's head. The leprechaun was ecstatic, dancing around as he wrote that monkey music, putting himself in a frenzy. He spun around wildly, fell off the piano, and dissolved, completely, without a trace. Tom stopped playing, looked up at me, and shrugged his shoulders. He got out of the seat and headed for the stage door. I stood alone and applauded him, and he turned around and gave me an embarassed bow. He reached the door, waved goodbye, and was gone. I slipped my way out of the deserted building, past the invisible drinker at the water fountain, and headed home.

Prodigal Sun �[Tl HARROWHOUSE ] Magic Lantern by Jay Boyar Gielgud treats the assignments as a legitimate, part in a respectable film, and so his performance is authoritative and imaginative. If the principle characters had been well-played, then Gielgud would probably have been commended for the steady, controlled job he did. But since the film and its stars are so anesthetized, his energy seems the stodgy character he plays greater than it is appears very lively. Subtle and subdued, Mason usually gives quietly powerful performances. In this movie, surrounded as he is mostly by zombies, he parodies Grodin, Bergen, and even himself. He becomes so slow-moving that comic lethargy, as it were. It's sad it's humorous small Marvin Gaya, veteran of the Motown scene, and more recently, composer-producer-movie scorer and all around musical talent, will be strutting his stuff at the Aud on Saturday, October 12, at 8:30 p.m. Tickets for this exciting event are on sale at Norton Ticket Office and all Festival outlets. ~ Failures like 11 Harrowhouse are particularly annoying because of the trivial ways they fail. The movie is so unambitious that its individual problems are not grand pratfalls (as were the problems in Daisy Miller ) but, rather, embarassing little stumbles, burps, and dribbles. Its publicity material inexplicably tries to hawk it as a Poesque, almost Gothic horror tale of insects, haunted houses, and mystery. Really, it's just the story of two fairly wealth jet-setters who attempt to steal several billion dollars worth of diamonds from England's diamond-controlling "system". - - Chesser (Charles Grodin) and Maren (Candice Bergen) are the principle thieves. About the middle of the movie, they are shot with darts that paralyze them, and the performers never recover. Actually, they are static and uninspiring right from the start two new dummies from Bergen's dad's collection. It's not that their acting is unconvincing as much as like it’s not really acting at all. They just appear fact, one scene near celebrities on a game show. In the end, where dressed in black jump-suits and they do acrobatics to steal the gems, sneakers Iqoks more like the celebrity portion of Beat the Clock than anything else. — — — — One for the show The twosome deliver their lines as if they were reading from scribbled cue-cards; Bergen, for her part, has precious (?) little to say, anyway. She's just a decoration like the female assistant in a magic looking curiously like a manikin. She show changes clothes so often in the film that it becomes something of a fashion show. At one point, even her hair is tinted green. Because these stars and the plot are so dull, an attempt has been made to pump a little zip into the but the effort is a bit like shooting movie adrenalin into a corpse. What is tried is to have Grodin narrate the story with chic, witty comments — Our Weekly Reader Into Deepest Space by Fred and Geoffrey Hoyle (Harper & Row $6.95) The film 2001: A Space Odyssey struck many of its viewers with a force that was not even hinted at in the book. It is obvious that film was the perfect medium through which the emotional impact of the story could reach its full effectiveness. The actual physical laws governing the Star Gate through which Bowman passed, however, were not explored in the film. Into Deepest Space takes the journey of 2001 and leaves behind the religious aura imposed by Arthur C. Clarke. It presents a theoretical explanation of Clarke's novel without even m£htioning 2001. Fred Hoyle is one of the world's leading astro physicists and was formerly Plumian Professor of Astronomy at Cambridge, where he established the Institute for Theoretical Astronomy. Geoffrey Hoyle is a television story consultant active in the making of documentary films. Together they put together the science and the art in such a way as to create an enjoyable, pure science fiction novel. Science wins out because of its importance to the plot, whereas character development and setting are but minor points, yet the interesting aspects of the plot overshadow most of the artistic losses. Suffering alone During the many years that Fred wrote alone, his work often suffered as he constantly went off on scientific tangents, neglecting both plot and character. In 1967 his collection of short stories entitled Element 79 was generally well-received by the science fiction reading public, which claimed to see potential in it. Fred, with the help of Geoffrey, is now beginning to change that potential energy into action. In order to comprehend the awesome scope of the book, it is necessary to mention a bit of the plot. The story is a typical space opera filled with earth's political dealings in the year 2011 as we are faced with a threat from space. The Yela are the enemy; Dick Warboys and three Ursa Major allies named Betelgeuse, Rigel and Alcyone represent our planet. To ward off a Yela attack, a lithium bomb is —continued on Prodigal Sun page 12— — — on the action. These remarks come to sound painfully like the comments that Johnny Carson makes about the “funny football" clips on The Tonight Show. In 11 Harrowhouse, the effect is even worse since, unlike the football clips, the movie's action is not itself interesting, and since the remarks made in the film do not even seem spontaneous. It is embarassing to and recording on film imagine someone writing a line like, “If we got out of this, no matter how much they apologized, I wasn't coming back", as a — — commentary on a life or death chase scene.

Two fof the money Two of my favorite actors, James Mason and John Gielgud, have taken parts in this flick the former as a diamond-system employee who helps Chesser and Maren in their crime, and the latter as the manager of that diamond system. The ways they approach their roles are quite different. — that he should have to resort to this clowning, but I don't see what else he could do with this film except not be in it If the comparisons in this review seem to rely more heavily on television than usual, it's because the film seems a lot more like the worst parts of the 11 small screen than do most other movies. Harrowhouse has not so much been influenced by television, as it has grown out of television. Its spenes are like film clips, self-contained and ready for shipping to the nearest self-explanatory talk-show. "11 Harrowhouse" even sounds like a station identification message. The film hits me in the same way that the Chariot of the Gods book series, Merv Griffin, and "Stump the Band" do. These items are packaged products. They are abrasive and, even more - to the point, gratuitous. Plug 11 Harrowhouse is playing at the Holiday 6 Theater Friday, 11 October 1974 The Spectrum .

(Claire Hamill, the scheduled third act, was absent due to immigration problems; no one apparently minded.) Hot licks and sweaty faces On comes Mr. Goose Farts himself, stocky, sweatshirted, and looking fresh from Peelle Field. Right down to business with "Morning Is The Long Way Home," sans lyrics, and "Louise." Ahhh, yes, it's all there; breathtaking speed and clarity, impeccably precise picking and fingering, the slide drifting ever so easily across the fretboard, the smooth, deep voice. He greets the largely N.V.C. audience basking in the heat of closeness: "Hi, I'm Tom Seaver; I want to thank you for coming here and sweating your asses off." There were plenty of favorites, for instance "Stealing," "Tiny Island," "Bean Time" (played in a lower key than usual, and sounding rather strange), and "The Last Steam Engine Train." The bottleneck "Vaseline Machine tours de force from his early Takoma album Gun" and "The Sailor's Grave on the Prairie" showed how much poise and confidence Kottke's gained since his earlier days, as did the slithery "Tennessee Toad," which he said "I'd'listen to all the time if I had phlebitis" (laughter and applause). There were accounts of his being dragged from a party into a Minnesota Highway Dept, station ("Is this where you live?" "No, but it's where I'm gonna throw up."), and his affection for "custom" guitars "hand-made by a dwarf from Guatemala." (One of his 12-strings was hand-made by a Yugoslavian named Bozo, and that's the gospel truth.) — — A howl of a finale Kottke did a few new instrumentals, the best of which was a slide tune (very reminiscent of "The Spanish Entomologist" from Greenhouse) which combined "San Antonio Rose" with "America the Beautiful" to delightful effect. "Hear the Wind Howl" was the official finish, but you don't get up from Christmas dinner while there's still food on the plate, so Kottke was summoned back for an encore. After another attempted exit, he served up dessert: his mellow medley of "Crow River Waltz," Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," and the supersonic "Jack Fig." Exeunt omnes 901 smiling faces and 1802 smiling feet.

The earth is now a silent planet set off from the rest of the galaxy and forced to withstand further Yela attacks alone because of its own folly. Doomsday machine Doom seems to be at hand. 1015 tons of hydrogen are approaching the planet, no doubt collected by the Yela with the intent of igniting the gas and thereby reducing the planet to ashes. Man's folly then proves beneficial to him, for along with screening out radio waves, the electron particles cause the massive bulk of hydrogen to evaporate. As the story runs on, Dick and his three friends are sent out in an Ursa Major ship, to find and destroy the enemy. The Vela get the upper hand but then lose tit to an even more powerful entity, and here's where the tnrfir most elaborate twists in plot. The Ursa Major ship, heretofore held captive by the Yelas, is suddenly freed as it is drawn to a quasar, beside which exists that matter-consuming phenomenon which possesses the highest form of gravitation, the black hole. The ship then undergoes a change, the astronauts lose consciousness, and they wake up to find themselves orbiting earth. This earth, however, has continents which show only an aging of a few thousand years from the time they left. The voyage they took, according to mathematical calculations based on star charts, was one of several million years, while the crew of the ship subjectively aged only two years. The discrepancies in temporal appearances are explained, though hypothetically, by Dick, who reasons that a white hole was also involved in the changes and that the world they are now in is a parallel.

The Spectrum Friday, II October 1974 . A different world Earth, in the new world, is quite different from that which they left. This planet is barbarian and the four are proclaimed gods by the barely human inhabitants. The contrast between the human race as Dick now perceives it and the highly advanced intelligence of the entity living in conjunction with the quasar is as sharp as can be made, as well written as the psychedelic scenes in 2001 were filmed. The importance of this short novel lies entirely in the last chapter; the body of it being just short of boring. Even the last section cannot redeem it from obscurity, and it certainly is not of Hugo-winning proportions. It is interesting in that it brings up the theories of Carl Sagan regarding the black hole-white hole controversy.

Such aims of communications and self-enlightenments from the University Jazz Club) (Immediately and deeply) I am aware, personally obligated, and naturally indignant about the University — monies that are misdemeanored, assumed, consumed, and are insensitively, rootlessly, and misappropriately backing, booking, and marketing third-world American art and music forms Naturally, there shouldn't be anything wrong with putting these original art forms into the public mainstream, for they are a medium of American cross-breeding. We, as students, those/us poor students, should have up-front considerations about the returning priorities of our entertainment, pocketbooks, and social endeavors. About the music(s): two questions: Who has the uncanny asshole, yet conquesting nerve to critique and seemingly decide what is the direction of, (what is cool, not cool, technically wrong or right about) our art idioms? (The records we buy. The concerts and performances we attend. The literature, movies, etc. Who Reviews? Distributes? Promotes and yet can not possibly have any insight into the roots and the livelihoods of the Black Life behind the syndromes of the "dues?"). ... Promoter's choice They give us Gil-Scott Heron and yet don't seem able to want to sell Gary Bartz or Don L. Lee. Think about it. It is hardly your choice. Buffalo gets Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and Weather Report over and over because they are the "Jazz-Rock" bands at the top of the charts. Are the other "Jazz" bands incompetent? Is it about that bullshit that it doesn't sell? Think about what the media doesn't give a damn about you even consciously being able to think about. Who's making the deals, drawing the contracts and splitting with the bread? It was no coincidence that George Wein decided it was time this past summer to bring Newport to Buffalo. He didn't just wake up some morning, blindfold himself and decide to bring some enterprising shit to Western New York. After Ike Hayes there's Barry White, and there'll be another boogie-crooner after that. I'm not talking about qualifications, I'm talking about production and promotion and the reasons why people like Gladys Knight leave Motown, for assured superstardom, for ABC/Dunhill Records. Why wouldn't Gordy do what she wanted? Or wasn't he calling the shots? ... Whose nostalgia? I'm talking about nostalgia (the. media hypnotizing and eluding true realities) making it cool enough to put some Black "mammie" shit on television: "Good Times" and "That's My Mama." I am not criticizing whether this programming is real or not. They would have never dared that kind of production in the sixties? You wouldn't have let them. You weren't frying your hair then. The point is, when white children dig "The Brady Bunch," they get some subconscious image of purity of peace of mind and financial security: What do Black children get? It's no accident that you don't hear Miles Davis on the radio. No John Coltrane. Shit ain't that nostalgia? Be-Bop? Hard-Bop? The fifties. The greasers know who James Dean was. But hell if anybody knows who Jackie McLean is. Charlie (Bird) Parker died a junkie. Columbia Records murdered Billie Holiday and continues to clean-up from her recordings now. Diana Ross, granted poor from Detroit, took aggressive advantage of time and the opportunity does she have some kind of responsibility to her portrayal of some fictional Billie Holliday now, or is it "Touch Me In The Morning," and the Doris Day of the Black hit charts? The big historical trumpet of Freddie Hubbard is in contract with Columbia Records. "Birthright," who played with him here a short while ago, have taken their creative and qualified skills to produce and initiate their first album Free Spirits, their own record label. Freelance Records. Hubbard has been an important professional for twenty years. Has he, like so many others, not retained enough self-buying power to independently approach his own production, etc.? Is it too late, due to security and lifetime — — after all the syndromes of the dues, for all those artists? We won't have Aretha or McCoy Tyner forever. The distributing facets are aware of this. Are our young artists prepared to take their places? Will they get the same slaps in their faces that Lady Day and Bird got, while we just keep on trucking? What is jazz? "Jazz" is a word that people apparently seem unconsciously afraid of, and inconvenienced by. Something far-out, out-dated, or just square-ass. What does "Jazz" owe you? Funkadelicism, Alice Cooperism, Pointer Sisterism, or simply what Herbie Hancock is giving you from the sides of his ass? I was involved with a very few individuals about four years ago in a cultural event that took place in the Black community, heading the Herbie Hancock Sextet, Gary Bartz, Archie Sheep & Simbabwe, the original Birthright band, Charles Gayles, and McCoy Tyner. Nobody was too up on Herbie's shit then. I don't blame the public. But the public spends money and the public finds leisure time, negating and prostrating what is being frivolously pinned by the crude media and conscienceless promoters on every "That's Entertainment" ribbon of nostalgia: "Jazz," mature, human, serious Black American Classical Music. (One forgets that these artists have grown up just like you and I, from the same neighborhood.) The University Jazz Club hopes for creative and down-to-earth enlightenment and entertainment for the months ahead. We openly invite the incentive of sensitive, worthy, energetic sincere individuals who will participate and contribute what they can of their time and nature. (...

" Haiti, Browne together again for a concert of the Century Anyone who is into a little-known group or musician has experienced that feeling of shock, dismay and surprise when they realize that all this talent, so apparent to them, is going unnoticed by the public at large. I'm no different. I am still shocked, dismayed and surprised when I meet people who have never heard of Jackson Browne or Bonnie Raitt. I should qualify that. People have heard of Jackson (oh, yeah, "Doctor My Eyes," right?), but only to a very limited extent. Since Bonnie's never released a single, her fans are even fewer and farther between. I really shouldn't be surprised. Since neither of them really fits into the current narrow limitations of acceptable radio fare, they get very little air play, and since that's where most people get turned on to new music . . . well, I shouldn't be surprised. Actually, what their lack of commercial success really comes down to is that they both have a quality that's become increasingly rare in the music business; integrity. California country-rock Jackson Browne comes out of Southern California, and the country-rock sound we have come to-associate with that area is obviously one of his major influences. Since his first album was released in 1971, he has met with critical acclaim at every turn, and quite rightly so. His music is not Prodigal Sun can't just dance to it, or let it overcome you. No, you have to really listen. You have to use your mind, and for that's some people, a little hard. Nevertheless, it's worth the effort. Browne is a consummate songwriter. His talent is twofold. Musically, it means memorable melodies, beats that stick to your ribs, a knowledge of the dynamics of a song that takes you to the highs and lows with each new chord change. But perhaps even more important and unique is his ability to write intellgient, perceptive, artistic lyrics. Yet, easy. You poetry. Poetry? Jackson is not the type of writer to take up political stands or social causes. No, he finds more than abundant subject matter in his own relationship to the rest of the universe. He is one of those rare characters who can raise his own commonplace experiences to a level of higher and deeper meaning, and sooner or later, you relate the songs directly to your own life, always finding that his sensitivity and insight has enriched your sense of your own situation. And even though there is the touch of the cynic in his words, he is still at heart a romantic. In these days of gloom and pessimism, anyone with that kind of outlook is a truly precious commodity. Bonnie Raitt comes out of a more theatrical background. Her father is John Raitt, Broadway singing star. Perhaps her musical style is a reaction to that scene one of Bonnie's best qualities is her — down-to-earth iness. Bonnie has one of the best voices in the business. Besides having quite a broad range (that is, of notes), she has an equally broad range of expression in her vocal style she is as light as a cloud, as sweet as — a diamond (polished or in or a clod of gravel and dirt, depending on the song. She is also unique in her ability to play guitar. For ballads and soft numbers, she can fingerpick with clarity, taste, and precision. Okay, a lot of chicks can do that. But Bonnie also plays a mean lead, slide, and electric guitar (I mean mean). There is something else that sets Bonnie apart from the rest of the field. It's that word I mentioned before (remember?) integrity. Bonnie likes to sing ballads and the blues, and she's one of the few white ladies who can. Although rock and roll or pop would definitely send her shooting to the top of the charts, she stays away from that stuff. She sings what she wants the way she wants, and that takes a lot of strength. I used to think that musicians weren't really musicians unless they wrote their own songs. I still do, basically, but Ms. Raitt's expertise on her chosen instruments more than compensates. cotton candy, the rough), This Monday night Jackson and Bonnie will be at the Century Theater. Both of them are dynamic in concert. Jackson’s band has a tendency to let loose a lot more in concert than on record, and with the excellent backup men he's got, the music can be nothing short of outrageous. You never know who Bonnie's going to bring along, but having seen her play just with Freebo (her ever-constant fretless Fender bassman), and with a full band, I can safely say that whoever her accompanists are, her talent alone is sufficient to insure a great set. Also, both Bonnie and Jackson have extroverted stage personalities they talk to you, really make you part of the which should add to the experience — festivities Raitt and Browne have a working She's recorded some of his songs, sung harmony on some of his albums. Their music and voices go very well with each other. Hopefully, they will do some numbers together, which all in all would make it one unforgettable night. Finally, they both have new albums out (see the Records page for the reviews), which probably means they'll be doing new material. Tickets are available at Norton Ticket office.

Remember back when they were all guys and their big ambition was to produce an orchestral-choral biography of Christ (that was Jeremy Spencer's brain child)? Well, Fleetwood Mac's music is still mellow, and John McVie's wife, Christine, does add an enticing effect with her singing. Today's Fleetwood Mac consists of Mick Fleetwood, drums; John McVie, bass; Christine McVie, keyboards and vocals; and Bob Welch, guitar and vocals. Other than a little shuffling over the years, they are still as good as they always were. Their music is the type to sit back, put up your feet, sip wine, and relax to. Remember the soft warm effect of "Black Magic Woman," done by Santana? Well, it was written by Peter Green, who at that time was with Fleetwood Mac and is a prototype of their musical style. It's been about a year, and time for a new album. But time has not hastened their efforts, as is seen in the superb quality of this album. It is a rare occurrence when both sides of an album are really good. Yet such is the case with Heroes Are Hard To Find. All the cuts flow into one another, setting a mood throughout the album. "She's Changing Me" shadows their folk past with its sweet harmonies. Whispery and haunting is the melody in "Coming Home." The ARP string emsemble gives it a charm of its own, reminiscent of Jim Morrison's "Riders On The Storm." And the title cut, "Heroes Are Hard To Find," demonstrates the group's virtuosity along with the mystic rhythm in "Bad Loser." Page fourteen The Spectrum Friday, 11 October 1974 . . You cannot do an album of this calibre justice if you try to classify the songs. Anyway, Fleetwood Mac could never have a label. They just play music that's a pleasure to listen to. It's soft, well rounded, and gives you a warm glow inside. The members all complement each other simply by realizing that pure harmony is more important than a lot of noise. They seem to put their hearts and souls into whatever they play. You can feel the emotion ooze from their music. It is this factor that always makes you want to hear more, V If you have never heard Fleetwood Mac before, here is a golden opportunity to treat yourself to some really fine music. Otherwise, you'll nevery know what you've been missing. —Susan Wos Prodigal Sun �Jackson Browne Late For The Sky (Asylum) Sooner or later, most artists develop a formula. those creative True, there are always exceptions geniuses who can work within many frameworks like Picasso, like the Beatles. But on the whole, they stick to a basic structure like Rembrandt, like Jane — — — Bonnie Raitt Streetlights (Warner Bros.) It's a sad and all too frequent story; the more albums a recording artist makes, the more production creeps in. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't matter, sometimes it does heavy damage. I'm still not sure which category Bonnie's latest falls into; I'll present the case, you be the jury. (Let me say right now that I love everything Bonnie does. I'm just not sure yet whether I love this album more or less than her others.) If you've been following Bonnie's achievements up to now, you know about the trend I've mentioned. Her first Ip was recorded (basically live) in a home studio with friends/musicians. Her second was most of also done with a bunch of musician friends in Woodstock whom are now known as Orleans. Both albums have a very raw and simple quality that makes them very attractive. Some Of the best songs — on those discs are just Bonnie and bare back-up; bass, drums and a guitar (i.e., "Love Me Like A Man"). Good blues doesn’t need much more than that. With Takin'My Time, it started creeping in: a full band on almost every cut, some horns here and there, a feeling of a polished product. Which brings us up to Streetlights. Streetlights is her slickest yet, and the largest departure she's ever taken from her usual fare. It's not so much the material as the production. It's professional to the last note, and a "production" in the sense that most of the songs are replete with strings, horns, a full band and back-up vocalists. It's fairly obvious that Jerry Ragovoy, the producer, said, "Look, here's what I'm gonna do with you." Bonnie's vocals are very versatile. She can tear your heart out with a ballad or knock your ass off the seat when she sings the blues. On her earlier recordings, that earthy, bluesy feeling came through especially well. Now, place her in the middle of all those instruments. Most artist and groups have a tendency to get lost in the shuffle. Not Bonnie. On Streetlights, she comes through as out front as ever. The first two songs on the album are "That Song About the Midway" (Joni Mitchell) and "Rainy Day Man" (James Taylor). I must admit, the arrangements are unique enough to give both songs new life, and Bonnie's vocals are so melancholy and beautiful that everything else kind of fades away. Then she does "Angel From Montgomery" (John Prine). The lyrics, by themselves, are very powerful. "If dreams were thunder/ And lightning was desire/ This house would have burnt down a long time ago." The song is done in a slow and definitve style, and sung with a controlled rage that keeps building to the very end. If John hears it. I'm sure he'll say that's exactly how the song was meant to be sung. I suppose it's the funk/rhythm and blues songs that are really the most different. Up to now, Bonnie has usually approached them from the Delta blues angle: slide guitar and grit and guts vocals. Here, they have a much heavier pop orientation. Her vocal renditions haven't really changed, just the context. "I Got Plenty" and "Ain't Nobody Home" are two good examples. They do make you rock, bump, and but I'm not sure if all that grind she still sings from the depths stuff behind her adds or detracts to the feeling. That same doubt also the ones that are enters my mind in respect to some of the soft tunes more lavishly produced (like "Got You On My Mind"). Although the final verdict won't be in for some time yet, I do find Streetlights an enjoyable listening experience (hell, she could sing "Pop Goes the Weasel" and make it great). And though I don't know yet whether the operation was a success, at the very least, I give Ms. Raitt a —Willa Bassen great deal of credit for having the guts to experiment. — — — r^AURLJlM HWOCRAFKD and ANTIQUE JENA/BJTt »-i; / Prodigal Sim /130-200/ Austen, like Jackson Browne. Obviously (as you should infer from my examples), the use of a fixed point of reference does not necessarily mean that creativity is stifled. Just the opposite. If you continue to work with certain constants, your skill within those boundaries is bound to become more and more precise, more refined, more sensitive, more highly polished. Like Jackson Browne. Late For The Sky is Jackson's third album, and follows the basic Browne formula. That is to say, the songs are every bit as excellent as his preceding material, and in some of the same ways. They are country-rock oriented, ranging from slow ballads ("Late For The Sky") to medium tempo tunes with Browne's type of distinctive definitive beats ("Fountain of Sorrow"), to raunchy rockers ("The Road and the Sky"). The instrumentation follows the pattern too: guitars, piano, bass and drums only. Now, although I am aware that Jackson is following a formula, it is hard to say exactly what that formula is. A preference for certain chord changes, an immediately recongizable vocal style, a method of arrangement, the use of certain vocal harmonies (the root above the fith, know what I mean?), the way he counters straight-ahead beats with syncopation, a knack for writing lyrical and/or catchy melodies (singable, that is) a subtle musical sense of taste; all these things contribute to the sound that has come to be known as his alone. Certain of his back-up musicians have also become associated with his sound: notably the styles of David Lindley on electric guitar fiddle and slide and Doug Haywood on bass. O.K. So you know there's this formula, and when you put the album on, you hear, in a sense, exactly what you expected to hear. However, there are differences in the songs on this album that make it a new listening experience. As I said before, he becomes more polished with each new release. For one thing, the harmonies on this album are the most sophisticated and beautiful yet. He's begun to use them not only as lines above or below the melody, but as counterpoint melodies to the main vocal. The ones on "The Late Show" and "For A Dancer" are He's begun to use particularly touching. orchestration, very slightly and very tastefully. And the songs are, in general, longer. He’s allowing the band more time for breaks and solos, and with David Lindley and Jai Winding (piano and organ), it's all for a very good reason. At this point, those of you who are Jackson Browne fans are probably wondering why I haven't said anything about the lyrics yet. I've been saving the best for last. The lyrics on Late For The Sky are just as excellent as everything that has come before. Browne is a true poet. Even though he writes from a very self-oriented point of view, his insight into the human condition never fails to make you turn inside and think about a lot of things. It is often his use of metaphor that gets his points across most strongly. "The Late Show" is a good example. The song is about the barriers that people put up: as protection from others, and from themselves. The last verse (which, by the way, relates to the cover which is a take-off on a Magritte painting) goes; It's like you're standing in the window Of a house nobody lives in And I'm sitting in a car across the way Let's just say it's an early mode! Chevrolet Let's just say it's a warm and windy day You go and pack your sorrow, the trashman comes tomorrow Leave it at the curb and we'll justpul I away. Right now, I can't imagine Browne ever going stale. As long as there are human foibles, and considering that we all have to use the same eight notes anyway, it's conceivable that he could go on producing albums as fine as his first three for as long as he feels like it. —WiUa Bassert Also included is their rendition of the same old Lindisfarne Happy Daze (Elektra) "sitting by the river" type theme, appropriately Lindisfarne is one of a sizeable number of rock groups that are very well known and well received in England, but barely a whisper is heard about them in America. At about the time of their earlier albums, Fog on the Tyme and Nicely Out of Tune thery were reported to be the number two group in England. (No, I don't know who number one was, unless it was Rod Stewart in first and Marc Bolan third. Which shows it depends on who's doing the reporting. I guess I was reading too much Circus mag. at the time.) Anyway, I never heard too much of Lindisfarne, and if Happy Daze is typical of their stuff, then either I rank with fellow unrefined Americans who don't appreciate upcoming imported delicacies, or those album-buying Britons can't tell a D-chord from a G-string. Lindisfarne is one of those "sounds like" groups. You know, where practically everything "sounds like" something else by someone else. This can be especially nerve-wracking because you can be lying down listening when all of a sudden you think: "Now where have I heard this before? Doesn't this sound like —?" and you'll be groping through your memory until you finally remember. Happy Daze opens with "Tonight," and Lindisfarne gets off the ground with a good, bouncy intro piece and a decent single as well. Linsay Jackson is fine on vocals and plays the mandolin well, too. If there is any song on this album that one might dare to sing during the day, it would be "Tonight" with its fetching refrain. "In Year Head" is a free-wheeling song, somewhat reminiscent of the Springfield's lighter stuff. The chorus is very Hollies-ish, with everyone singing together with a fresh, polished sound. Each person in the group sings a line or so of the lead, and when Ken Craddock’s turn comes, he sings remarkably like an imitation Dylan. The overall effect is pas mat but you might say it lacks called "River." The song is of course mellow, with vocals similar to the folk duet "Aztec Two-step." The lead guitar progresses into a rhythm riff and it's not hard to imagine Greg Lake doing "From the Beginning." We don't have Keith E. here to accompany but we do have James Hull playing a good recorder, rounding out the song nicely. "No Need to Tell Me" is a fooler. Starting with a short piano intro, one can think that a serious song in the "Renaissance" vein is commencing when, disappointingly, it goes into a bouncy, bluesy tune. We're back to the "sounds like" game with "Dealer's Choice," which sounds like something Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show would do. As a matter of fact, it sounds like them doing it. "Nellie" and "The Man Down There" are Lindisfarne's attempt at the "Merry Olde Folke Song." The former in the fashion of Pentangle (complete with imitation Jackie McShee accompaniment) and the latter in the mode of Fairport Convention sans Sandy Denny (but with Richard Thompson on vocals). The overall effect is, I suppose, passable, if only because of the pleasing nature of the English folk song. Happy Daze on the whole is not an outstanding album. I would not suggest buying it because its entertainment value is minimal. If you have a small record collection, there's plenty of better stuff to catch up on. If you own a sizeable number of discs, then believe me, you don't need this one. I don't know what it is about Lindisfarne that the British like so much. I suppose that their previous efforts were more laid back and consistent. But they've branched out into areas already strewn with artists, which is a major problem for musicians of today, and one of the causes of the quickening decline of quality rock music so apparent these days. —Jerry Duci originality.

Questions have been raised whose about responsibility it is to fund the Day Care Center on this campus. This letter is a response to those who do not see that it is the responsibility of the SUNYAB administration. This is a public University, and the fact that it is supported by the people of New York State tarries particular obligations that allow for public access. That single women and minorities, that working people in general have been systematically excluded from “prestige” public universities is almost an axiom of the population of such schools. In a small way, the state has recognized the inequity and has set itself up with guidelines for Affirmative Action this is a program and a body of law meant to include some of the consistently excluded. Essentially, and as it applies to SUNYAB, the Affirmative Action program obligates the University to systematically correct programs and structures that have excluded women and minorities. Now where does the UB Day Care Center fit into all this? Right in the middle is the substantial answer, the UBDCC serves those who have been historically excluded from attending UB those who now, by law must be affirmatively sought-out for inclusion in the University’s program. For whether the SUNYAB system in Albany has committed itself to supporting day care is a secondary question. As an agency of the state it has a prior obligation to affirmatively seek out women and minorities and if this principle of support is to become support-in-fact, day care must be supported in fact. This means money. The recently-announced $30,000 plus position of Director of Affirmative Action at SUNYAB is necessary to facilitate and develop a broad program of Affirmative Action - — Want to learn how to write well?

A misconception on my talent as a writer compelled me to send away for that free FSFW brochure. The Famous School For Writers is the oldest and least regarded correspondence school of its kind. As of last summer, the members of the advisory board could boast as much talent as the staff of the TV Guide. Some board members were my all-time favorites; Bennett (He’s been dead for months?) Cerf, Jacquiline (She’s almost dead) Suzanne, and Rod (There is a fifth dimension) Serling. I hoped and prayed that Rod Serling would be my personal tutor. I mean, who knows more about writing nifty stuff than Rod Serling? Funny thing about writing away for brochures. One usually forgets everything about them until the mailman comes one sunny day and plops that envelope in your arms. 1 was flabberghasted. “Duh, 1 don’t remember writing away for this.” “I’m just a mailman, kid. I only deliver this shit.” Unlike most things I begin, 1 decided to follow through with the course. Apparently, I had a head start since the FSFW said 1 showed promise in may early writings. (Remember now, my previous writings consisted of my vital statistics on that mailing card.) I tore the envelope apart, searching fanatically for the name of my personal tutor. Was it Vonnegut? Updike? Albee? I’d even take Hemingway. No, no, no. It was R. Serling. 1 wasn’t sure if he was Rod Serling since the letter was actually signed “R. Serling.” R. Serling of the FSFW. And he had an assignment for me, even. Each week, we FSFW students were given writing assignments, not necessarily geared toward our interests and pet perversions. R. Serling probably liked me best since the topics he gave could be easily tackled by a two-year old. ASSIGNMENT NO. 1: Describe TIME (In 100 words or less) Hmmm. A nice specific topic with plenty of lee-way to expand, no less. Was R. Serling kidding? But a good writer is a true writer and a true writer writes true things. I think somebody English said that. So 1 described time: “Time makes the world go ’round and also makes the hands of a clock go ’round too. People are always saying to ‘take your time’ although at the same time they say they never have enough time to do things. I suppose time is money but the way the economy is going, there won’t be enough time to go around.” Pretty good, huh? That’s what I thought also. However, this assignment was returned to me weeks later and I didn’t recognize it. My own baby! R. Serling had evidently done some editing: “Time, the infinite trolly car. Some call it a void, a facade, an illusion. For Cathy McQuire, it represents something totally different, a kind of escape from the mundane aspects of a not-so-ordinary life. For Cathy, time is about to stop.” Who’s Cathy McQuire? What does a trolley car have to do with it? Boy, that R. Serling could write! But, where had I seen that style before? I was given no advice, aside from that revised piece on Time (at least I think it was Time) so I plodded along to the next topic: ASSIGNMENT NO. 2; Describe: A MIRROR (In 100 words or less) It took me a while but I figured it was a trick question. What do you see when you look into a mirror? And so: “My bedroom mirror is almost three feet tall, from the waist up. The last time I looked at it, it had brown, curly hair, brown, bedroom eyes, a classic nose, sensuous mouth, and a build that Charles Atlas would envy. For some reason, the mirror’s appearance changes whenever someone different stands in front of it. If anything, it’s a great thing to have at a party.” Okay, so 1 stretch the truth a little. Who doesn’t? Anyway, I expected a Grade A mark from my tutor. This time, however, it was not to be. The mighty pen of R. Serling reduced my bedroom mirror to a . . . well, I don’t know what: “Mirrors, the ultimate reflection. To look into a mirror is to look through one’s own self. The answer, as Michael Roberts found, is often telling, often terrifying. The consumation of a century’s events will appear before his not so willing eyes.” Shit, I wonder what old Michael was about to see. Where did R. Serling get these characters? From the wall of a phonebooth, perhaps? I thought my descriptions were okay but to leam right, you have to leam from the masters. My FSFW diploma was at stake; I couldn’t blow the final!: ASSIGNMENT NO. 3: Describe A CLOSE RELATIVE (In 100 words or less) I worked to ace this one “Mother, the maternal being. Once mated with her spouse, she develops an uncanny knack to conceive and bear children. As she awaits her rendez-vous with anesthesia she will experience a kind of lethargy and embark on a terrifying venture into a not so dark world of fear.” What could R. Serling say about that one, except, “You’ve got a great future, kid.” 1 think I’ll try my hand at art next. throughout the University.

Day care is a right. A right which goes along with the right to public higher education for all. A right which carries out the principle of Affirmative Action.

Since the youth had little time to waste before some other entrepreneur found the hot spot, he went immediately to Queen Isabella of Spain.

Its significance was not realized by several people who told me that the comment did not belong with the story, that it was trite, old hate and has no relevance to baseball’s first black manager. In reality, there was a lot more to that statement than Williams himself realized. On one level Larry’s comment proclaims the fact. Its explanation is another story. Some scientists have attempted to prove that blacks are in fact physically superior. Statistics are available showing racial differences in ratio of muscle to fat, length and strength of bones, sitting height, and many other things related by the scientists to certain athletic skills (mostly sprinting speed and the vertical jump). Calvin Hill, star running back for the Dallas Cowboys and a Yale graduate, feels American blacks are the descedants of the stronger captured Africans, those that were able to survive the rigors of slavery, a racial and athletic form of Darwinian Extension. If you’re finding this a little hard to swallow, tokenism of the Robinson appointment. Despite you’re and a black not alone. It’s hard to believe that such things managers, black basketball coaches black head coach for the U.S. Olympic track team (Dr. could have significant effects in terms of millions of people. If there were any truth to these theories at Leroy Walker of North Carolina Central received that appointment several days ago), this country is all, it could at best explain a slight average still far from racial equality. Somehow I find it hard superiority. It seems obvious that the more to praise sports for breaking down racial barriers important, if not the only, cause for the disproportionate success of black athletes involves when the very city that has had black superstars like Bill Russell, Sam Jones, Jo Jo White, Reggie Smith, motivation and cultural conditioning. Sports has been one of very few outlets of the Jim Nance and most recently, Luis Tiant, cannot ghetto its schools. for many blacks. It is one of the only things, public integrate peacefully Even within sports, the rosy picture of justice traditionally speaking, where blacks can look and and racial equality that so many people have find other blacks succeeding, being given some kind swallowed whole due to the preponderance of black of chance. While white children can aspire to be faces on the sports pages, simply is not true. If it doctors and lawyers, black youngsters have had few were, Robinson’s appointment would not have been examples to look at in those areas. For many years, front page news and someone would have hired a they turned to sports as the only alternative, the black manager long ago. There is much evidence to only upward mobility available. And this has created a situation where 60% of support the existence of stacking and quota systems for black players on collegiate and professional the National Basketball Association is black. A teams. The disproportionate success of black athletes situation where people can look at professional has, by and large, not gotten them into managerial basketball and simply state, “Blacks must be natural and coaching positions as well as certain spots on the basketball players.” But the problem is even larger than that. The field, such as quarterback and offensive center. Many problem is how does one break down an essentially black athletes can attest to the fact that playing black stars has done little to break down the positive stereotype. Many blacks seem to enjoy the ftidividual racism of some coaches or their tendency image of being naturally endowed with athletic skills, to say nothing of natural rhythm. If one to use words like “nigger” and “colored.” Something else that Williams told me was very believes that, one could believe that blacks are lazy interesting. He stated that blacks have this natural and lack intelligence without extending their views tendency to play basketball that whites just don’t very far. Harry Edwards, the sociology professor have. “It must be something in the genes,” he said. I who proposed the black boycott of the Olympics in 1968, wrote that society has kept blacks from being suspect he was kidding, but whether or not he was serious, the fact is that it is a stereotype that many doctors and lawyers by leading them to believe that people believe. Isn’t it obvious from reading the they could only succeed as athletes. This may or papers that blacks are better athletes than whites? may not be true, but one thing is certain. Although Just look at the figures in baseball, football, track, sports certainly did not invent racism, it has been basketball, boxing. All show disproportionate used by some as a very convenient means to extend success for blacks. No one can argue with that basic it. Rolling 201: HOW TO ROLL BETTER Prof. E. Z.

The AFL, the ABA, the WHA, and most recently, the WFL have entered the big league sports world, and seem to be fairing well. By rounding up investors with millions of dollars, men like Gary Davidson (creator of the World Hockey Association and the World Football League) have contributed over 50 new franchises to the world of American pro sports, thereby increasing the total to well over 100. But is all this expansion good? Certainly, the owners are saying yes, as the greenbacks roll in. However, as an average fan, I don’t like this movement. Somehow, Bob Gladieux is not the kind of player I want as the offensive star of my football team. I don’t like to see a mediocre ballplayer landing a $75,OCX) contract because the San Diego Conquistadores or Portland Trailblazers need a guard who scores ten points and hauls down two rebounds a game. I don’t think it’s fair to the fan, nor to the owners. Further, it seems to allow the players to sit back and relax all season long. 1 was appalled when Derek Sanderson played in the WHA for two weeks, won $$00,000 in court, and then jumpted back to the NHL. That’s bush, but maybe the end is near. — Sun, storm and fire For the brand new World Football League, everything is not full of yellow and blue footballs and action points as it was cracked up to be last spring. The WFL is the fourth football league in operation since 1940. Portions of the other three are recognizable in the NFL today. However, things are really looking grim for the likes of the Southern California Sun, the Portland Storm and the Chicago Fire. In less than one season of play, the WFL has witnessed over a dozen franchise shifts. Players’ paychecks are, in many cases, weeks overdue. The Detroit Wheels, who have filed for bankruptcy, have had to borrow adhesive tape and shoelaces from their opponents. Most recently, the Jacksonville Sharks find themselves in deep financial peril. Along with the Wheels, their game for this week has been cancelled. Chuck Rohe, the WFL official currently managing Jacksonville, says that unless a sale of the Sharks is consummated in a few days, the Sharks will fold. If Jacksonville goes, might not Detroit, Charlotte and Shreveport follow close behind? Hopefully, yes. Probably, no. Despite all the economic headaches, the WFL has a television contract with TVS for a game of the week. This is something which is unprecedented for a league in its first year. Two franchises, Memphis and Birmingham, are looking at a possible profit picture for this year, another first in expansion. Thirdly, a comparison between the WFL and the other expansion leagues shows that the WFL is really no worse off than any other league in its infancy. But wait, Larry Csonka, don’t count your thousands till they are in the bank. During the early years of the AFL and ABA in particular, economic conditions were excellent for such expansion, but it still took years before they were firmly established. In 1974, WFL owners face “stagflation” and only recently loosened up money markets. This means that they cannot afford to take on too much debt in the early years. With any luck, the WFL will fold and expansion will end. To the owners, I say remember the Anaheim Amigos. To the players, two or three more endorsements will fatten your wallets adequately if they aren’t fat enough now. To the fans I say that the Brooklyn Dodgers are dead. Long live the Brooklyn Dodgers.

This year’s version lost a match. However, Dando stated: “This year’s team is better. They have the potential for low scores. Four or five Buffalo golfers are in the 70-71 area now.” Dando explained that Jim Gallery, last year’s ace, has had a knee injury which hasn’t allowed him to follow through his shot properly. “He’s capable and will get it together soon,” the coach added. Yesterday the ECAC Finals were held at Frosgate Country Club in Jamesburs, New Jersey. Dando was not sure of the competition, although he knew that Niagara and Cornell would be there from Buffalo’s qualifying tournament. He suspects that Temple and Central Connecticut will be strong contenders. “I’m going to play Hirsch No. 1; he’s earned it,” the coach claimed. “We have a good chance to win,” he added. “The key is having close individual scores.” THEATRE ORGAN HOUSEKEEPER/babysItter needed by 1967 VW BUG.

Buffalo’s first-ever victory in this event was lead by junior Mike Hirsch’s round of 77. The Bulls four-man contingent totaled 326. Coach Bill Dando described the Ithaca site as a “tough course,” but added, “the practice round on Thursday helped. Some of the other teams did not get the practice time because of inclement weather.” Sporting 7 bogies and 2 birdies, Hirsch played a brand of golf which he called “not exactly outstanding.” However, he took medalist honors anyway. Mike began the season well and then things went up and down for him. “It was partly me and partly the changeable weather. I wasn’t consistent,” he explained. The improvement of Hirsch over the last three matches is due to a change in attitude. “I’m looking for things as they come. We have lots of tournaments and I try to relax and enjoy them.

Those whose gross incomes are less than $15,000 annually from the exempt be will statements. He requested Congress and state and by Clem Colucci Mr. Ford estimated that the governments do the same. President Gerald Ford announced a ten-point anti-inflation plan yesterday that included a five percent tax surcharge on corporate and higher private income, a temporary public .employment program and overhaul of Federal regulatory policies. It explicitly rejected wage and price controls necessary, a 40 percent increase in also program Ford’s Mr. production, automotive gas mileage within stressed food independence from foreign energy four years. He also hinted at sources, stimulation of the loosening requirements of the housing industry and reduced Clean Air Act and called for federal spending. Speaking before a joint session of Congress, Mr. Ford tried to establish a bipartisan character for his economic proposals by saying he had accepted a number of Democratic from suggestions Congressional leaders. He said the battle against inflation required a “grand desing” and that past Federal efforts to deal with inflation were “just not good enough.” then outlined action to prices reduce and increase productivity in key sectors of the economy. President ten areas Ford for joint Food program development of novel energy sources. Mr. Ford called for an end to restrictive practices in both the private and public sectors of the economy. He said anti-trust laws would be enforced vigorously, citing price-fixing and bid-rigging as particularly harmful practices. noncompetitive He also said professional fee schedules would be investigated. This last remark drew only scattered applause from the many lawyers in Congress, because the probably legal profession has noncompetitive fee schedules. Mr. Ford proposed increasing penalities for anti-trust violations from $50,000 to $1 million for Citing the role of skyrocketing food prices in promoting inflation, for President Ford called agricultural increased production. To assure that this which increased production results lower in usually would not agricultural prices bankrupt farmers, Mr. Frod said — - the government would guarantee farmers adequate prices, hinting price support programs that would be expanded. Mr. Ford asked Congress to remove acreage limitations on such basic crops as rice, peanuts and cotton. He said the government would allocate more fuel for farm machinery, and promised close review of federal and marketing practices monitoring of production, margin, pricing and export policies. Ford announced the Mr. creation of a National Energy Board under the direction of Interior Secretary Rogers Morton to formulate a single national Secretary energy program. Morton’s more immediate assignment, the President said, AMerican oil was to reduce imports by one million barrels daily by 1975. Mr. Ford lashed out at international oil cartels, which one-third of provide America’s oil, for raising our oil bill by $16 billion in the past year. ! Energy independence on Reducing dependency foreign oil, Mr. Ford explained, requires both energy conservation and development of domestic energy resources. He said he would seek increased coal production and expansion of nuclear power facilities with the goal of eliminating oil-fired plants from electrical production by 1980. The President pledged to meet with officials of the automobile industry to request, and compel if More credit Stating “our capital markets are in total disarray,” President Ford asked for a program of “prudent monetary restraint.” He said Arthur BUrns, chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, had assured him that the supply of money and credit would expand to relieve the present credit crunch. Mr. Ford cited recent reductions in the prime lending as rate an of government regulatory action. Free enterprise The Council on Wage and Price Stability would act as a watchdog, holding public hearings whenever major wage or price increases are contemplated. Mr. Ford said the Federal government would take a "long overdue look at the independent regulatory agencies.” (The previous day, Federal Trade Commission Chairman Lewis A. denounced certain Engman regulatory agencies, specifically the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Civil Aeronautics Board, as anti-competitive and inflationary. This would indicate that Mr. Ford’s proposed revision of Federal regulatory agencies will emphasize increased competition in regulated industries.) All proposals coming from the Executive branch of the Federal government, Mr. Frod emphasized, would be accompanied by inflation impact development and asked for a 10 investment tax credit, particularly for capital-intensive industries like primary metals and percent public utilities. He also mentioned liberalizing the capital gains tax, but did not expand on the point. President Ford also announced of expanded program unemployment insurance to come from the general treasury, not, as current unemployment insurance programs do now, from taxes on employers. As a short-term emergency measure, Mr. Ford called for creation of a Community Improvement Corps, reminiscent of the New Deal’s Works Projects Admiminitration. It would automatically employ people in public service jobs when the unemployment rate reached six percent nationally or six and one-half percent in any locality. When unemployment dips below these figures, the jobs will be terminated. a He expressed support for a tax reform bill currently before the Mouse and Means Ways Committee that would provide $1.6 billion in tax relief to lowerand middle-income families and raise revenue for public service jobs by closing tax loopholes and instituting a windfall profits tax on the petroleum industry. To stimulate the seriously depressed which industry housing (in unemployment has reached 12.5 percent), Mr. Ford asked that $3 billion be appropriated to allow take out home to people mortgages. This figure would for mortgages cover approximately 100,000 new homes. The inavailability of mortgage credit has hurt savings and loan institutions and inflation has caused people to withdraw or reduce their savings. Mr. Ford said increased mortgage credit would help thrift institutions. briefly mentioned the He responsibility of the United States in maintaining a healthy world economy and said he was working on a trade reform America.” The President said the 1975 budget would be balanced with a target spending ceiling of $300 billion. He said he would submit a list of budget deferrals and cuts. “No Federal agency including the Defense Department - will be untouchable,” he said. The President asked all Americans to “pitch in” in the fight against inflation. He said the time has come for “total mobilization of America’s greatest resources: the brains, the skills — the wills of the American Giving the military tone. would inflation battle a President Ford said set up a small organization to enlist “volunteer energy and fighters inflation who would mobilize savers” people to waste less and produce more. Mr. Ford commented that if all people drove five percent fewer miles, this would save 250,000 barrels of foreign oil a day. Sufficient self-discipline, he stressed, would eliminate our dependence on foreign oil. Near the end of his speech, Mr. Ford showed a blue button with the slogan “Win” stamped on it, reminding observers of the National Recover Act’s famous Blue Eagle and its “We Do Our Part” slogan. “Enlistees” in the fight against inflation will receive one. encouraging Tax relief corporations and from $50,000 to $100,000 for individuals. He also announced a four-point program surcharge would raise $5 billion to for new programs and called the tax “the acid test of our determination to whip inflation in pay that local and 9 October 1974 people.” he surcharge. , Special Features Editor Wednesday, of New York at Buffalo package. Tax surcharge President Ford, only a month from away a Congressional election, made a move he said was “considered politically uhwisc” and called for a tax increase. Saying he “will not play politics with- America’s future,” he asked for a five percent surcharge on Off-campus symposium Councilman focuses on housing violations by Sparky Alzamora Campus Editor especially around the Merrimac-Heath area, is rapidly approaching slum conditions, Mr. Price went on. “Neighbors see it as a sign to leave the city” and in the next five years, he warned “we’re not going to have a city.” “1 have a sense that a new atmosphere is arising,” he said, referring to a more active student interest in dealing with negligent absentee landlords. However, to better combat the more serious violations, Mr. Price admitted that “both sides” would have to concede certain points. In a continuing effort to solve the problems of off-campus dwellers, a housing symposium, headed by Buffalo City Councilman Bill Price and members of the Mayor’s Housing Task Force, was held Monday in Norton Hall’s Conference Theater. Representatives of the Student Association (SA), the Student Legal Aid Clinic, and the New York Public Interest Group (NYPIRG) were also present. Mr. Price, who helped conduct an investigation of alleged housing Evict attic dwellers Specifically, students who violations by absentee landlords last summer, said that housing in presently reside in the attics or the Main Street off-campus area basements of houses that do not has deteriorated visibly in the last meet the standards set by the five years, citing the landlords as multiple dwellers provisions under the only “winners” in the the city zoning ordinance could situation. “How long will it be face eviction by an investigating before it turns into a slum?” Mr. agent.

While landlords fail to act on “fair price to pay for improving essential . repairs’, housing, —continued on page 8— �A lack of federal regulation Night school students keeps the public in the dark MFC controversy Mr. Phillips listed several examples of what he considers to be legal aid “partisanship.” “Lawyers become involved with the political leaders of their Howard Phillips, former acting director of the choice, and this is their legal right,” he said, but Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO), expressed “when they use federal funds in aiding these leaders, his dissatisfaction with the policies of the federal then something is definitely wrong.” He cited the legal services program Monday in the Moot Court of assistance given by two legal services lawyers to George McGovern’s Committee on Attrition and O’Brian Hall. Mr. Phillips, who served a six-month tenure at Hunger up to 1972 as one example of such the OEO under the Nixon Administration, emphasized “the lack of accountability to the public and the partisan tendencies” in the services. He described the OEO as “the nation’s largest law firm” and as an “oligarchical elitist power.” Its legal services lawyers are salaried agents of the federal government, but a board of directors composed of private citizens controls their activities. Mr. Phillips believes that a contradiction exists if private citizens are thus able to allocate governmental funds t,hat pay for legal services. are limited to courses by Don Eisenmann Contributing Editor In an effort to publicize the lack of courses being offered to Millard Fillmore College (MFC) students, Sharon O’Farrell, Chairman of Student Affairs for the MFC Student Association, has initiated a study of the MFC courses offered over the past 11 semesters. Ms. O’Farrell feels that although MFC students are paying the same and in some cases more tuition 'than do day school students, they are being cheated because the same courses and degree programs are not available to them. “If a student wants to go to school full time and get a degree in four years, he should not be so inconvenienced that he can’t,” she said. “Students outside the School of Management,” stated the report, “are consistently offered the smallest variety of courses and the bare minimum of requirements needed to pursue study in given areas.” — — Chronic lack It showed what Ms. O’Farrell reported that there is a chronic lack of variety in courses outside of the School of Management. For example, in economics, three fourths of the offerings are different sections of the same introductory course and “one fourth of the total number of courses are upper level, giving majors in this field no variety whatsoever and the bare minimum of degree requirements.” In sociology and English, Ms. O’Farrell believes there are far too many introductory courses and too few upper level courses for students getting a degree in these areas. She also complained that MFC doesn’t offer courses in journalism, education or library science, which she feels people need to keep up in their fields. “If a teacher graduated with a degree ten years ago, there is no place in the city to keep up with new trends in education,” Ms. O’Farrell explained. continued. To alleviate the problem, she requested, in a meeting with Nicholas Kish, assistant Dean, and MFQadvisors, “that this administration look into ways and means of instituting more and varied courses in some of the fields of study.” Dr. Kish responded that the report did not give him any real, meaningful input into the problems of MFC students, noting that Ms. O’Farrell did not present any specific information about how many students wanted specific courses. He said he did not feel that the opinions of one or two students were enough to make changes. “I think her efforts need to be supported. She’s looking out for the interests of students, but she should get facts straight before she is prepared to attack the division,” Dr. Kish added. Demand determination MFC courses are offered on the basis of student demand, determined by registration and student surveys, he explained. More management courses, for instance, are offered because more students want them. Dr. Kish also said that Buffalo State College has in fact recently been criticized for offering courses for a small number of students. Since MFC is a night school for part-time students, “there has to be some limitations. We can’t have a degree program for one or two people,” he pointed out. He suggested that Ms. O’Farrell get in touch with each department to obtain specific facts and figures with regard to how many students want certain courses. “We’re certainly not here to deny students what they want. We’re trying to serve students to the best of our ability,” said Dr. Kish. by Louis Gerzofsky Spectrum Staff Writer Little control Next year’s projected budget of $100 million for OEO legal services includes the salaries and expenses of 7500 lawyers, extensive law libraries and various research projects, but there is little federal control over the funds. “This lack of economic restraints,” Mr. Phillips said, “has led to results which are objectionable.” He added that the legal services’ lawyers “can sue whomever they want to, as many times as they want t6.” He feels this is unfair to those private citizens and businesses who do not have the resources to fight the lawsuits. Legal services lawyers have the power to determine the eligibility of their prospective clients in receiving legal aid, Mr. Philips said, noting however that the lawyers “tend to want to defend organizations rather than individuals.” Members of the audience, in the discussion session that followed, though', retorted that this policy is an easier way to solve the problems of many people at once rather than a scattered few at a time. He felt that this policy has led to a monopoly of sorts. “Power doesn’t belong to the poor,” he commented, “it belongs to the legal services.” He sees the poor in a disadvantageous position as a result of this procedure. “If the poor can’t turn to legal services, then they have almost nowhere else to go.” ii » —Forrest unwarranted involvement, mentioning also legal services lawyers acting as “professional lobbyists for liberal concerns” and research they have done for such specialty groups as environmental and abortion law concerns. Mr. Phillips added that under his directorship the legal services’ only guideline was to provide a “high quality of individual representation.” Before and after his tenure lawyers were also directed to economic and educational development and law reform in the community, .but he rejected these principles because he doesn’t feel that individual lawyers should determine these matters. “This system makes a sham of the electoral process. Why hold elections if the country’s decisions are being made by legal service lawyers?” he asked. . Ruby Braff/George Barnes Hot from Newport!

Anonymous letters will not be considered. Exploring alternative funding by Mitchell Regenbogen Campus Editor Day Care Center staff members are arranging a meeting with the seven Faculty Provosts to explore the possibility of obtaining some of the $29,000 that the Center needs to continue operating. Kathleen Cassiol, Day Care Center Director, said President Robert Ketter had suggested at last week’s meeting that the Center raise fees and cut salaries, something she claims the Center has already done. Ms. Cassiol indicated that the upcoming meeting with the Provosts was being scheduled as a result of the discussions with Dr. Ketter. “We’re going to follow some of the channels Dr. Ketter set forth,” she explained. ‘Director’ approved The only major development since last week was an announcement that Albany approved the establishment of a job line for Day Care director, officially called “assistant Dean.” This was the first time that any recognition of Day Care was recognized by Albany, Dr. Ketter explained. However, the decision probably will not have all the positive ramifications that observers had hoped for, since the job line carries with it no additional funding from the state. By approving the new position, the state has allowed the University to spend money for that purpose. Dr. Ketter said, adding that for the first time “we are not getting a definite no” on the issue. In the meantime, Ms. Cassiol has been seeking financial support through voluntary contributions. At a benefit for the Center last Wedesday at The Greenfield Restaurant, the store contributed 50% of its gross for the evening, with some of the employees giving up some of their salaries. The Vietnam Veterans against the War (WAW) also contributed funds to Day Care. Maintain effort Ms. Cassiol said she was determined to keep on fighting, emphasizing that “we’re still going to keep people informed of what’s happening.” The Psychology department has been conducting an Early Education Project (EEP) near Sister’s Hospital, where graduate students have been working with 16-20 four-year olds, four mornings a week. However, Leroy Ford, head of the program, asserted that the EEP “doesn’t remotely approach the Day Care Center.” He explained that this center is equipped for purely clinical uses, and has a very limited staff that could not offer adequate day care to young children Children are there strictly for observational purposes. Dr. Ford said. Charges of racism leveled at Santa Clara student press Student government and student press at the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) are at odds in a controversy involving freedom of press, misconduct of student government, and charges of racism. The student government leaders, mostly black and chicano, have accused the editors of The Daily Nexus, who are predominantly white, of sensationalism and poor and selective coverage of minority and women’s affairs. Minority staff members have been harrassed, they charged, while the The Daily Nexus printed “unproven, exaggerated charges” of misconduct by student government leaders. T he Daily Nexus editors replied that their own charges of misconduct against student government leaders are true, and that they are carrying more minority and women’s news than ever before. Last year administration officials, fearing violence, formed a committee to study the problem, and later turned over supervision of The Nexus to a new press council. “People were getting more and more agitated. They were getting louder and louder. This is why we got into the act,” said George Smith, vice chancellor for student services. Misuse Last year, the Nexus published a series of articles outlining alleged misuse of student funds by the Black Student Union (BSU) and other minority organizations. Another series charged that Black Associated Students president Robert Norris had pressured a professor into raising his grade so that Norris would remain eligible to hold student office. Former Nexus editor Dave Carlson also charged that Mr. Norris carried a gun into a meeting of the Associated Students at which allocations to I 1 Gus 355 Norton even lower rates for more than five copies of the same original campus organizations were to be decided. Vice chancellor Smith said that the Nexus stories and Mr. Carlson’s charges were untrue. “We proved to our satisfaction no guns were brought to student government meetings,” he said, adding, “We didn’t find any real misuse of funds. It was a matter of opinion. Some people thought those funds should be used for other purposes.” Others, however, continue to claim the Nexus stories are true. “None of the stories were ever denied, although there were some exaggerations,” observed Harold Drake, assistant professor of history at UCSB and a member of the committee that studied campus press problems. And most minority student government officers are still angry. “All we got was negative coverage,” said William Bradford, member of the student legislative council. The The allegations were denied by Nexus right now is geared to Mr. Carlson and this year’s discredit the minorities on Editor-elect James Minow, who is campus.” also white.

The problem could be solved by moving The Nexus off campus like several other campus papers around the country, thereby making it financially independent, Ms. Chavis indicated. “I’d like to see it self-supporting off campus and let the people decide if they want to buy what’s in it. That’s the only way it can be held account able,” she said. Mr. Minow agreed, saying he too thought The Nexus should become independent of student fees by generating more money through ads. But he also said he was reluctant to move it off campus. “That would open the dor for another campus paper, and the Isla Vista-Goleta area does not have the ad\e rtising base to support two daily papers,” he added.

The voices that filled Harriman Theater Studio for two hours Friday night were those of playwright Bertolt Brecht, poet Jacques Prevert and the man responsible for replacing the usual rows of bleachers and plastic chairs with the checkered tablecloths and atmosphere of the cabaret, softly-lit author-critic-teacher-composer-singer Eric Bentley. Billed as “a program of theater songs,” Bentley’s repertoire actually included much more songs about love, songs about politics, political love songs. — Another song describes the plight of a member of the Christopher Street (Greenwich Village) Block Association who complains that “the flaming faggots burned down Greenwich Village ’til there was no place left for us to hide.” These songs were urbane, sophisticated and extremely funny, and the composer’s low-keyed delivery and witty introductions heightened the atmosphere of almost conspiratorial intimacy which pervaded the room during this segment of the show. Less intimacy Parts Two and Three of the program, made up of theater songs by Brecht (mostly with Eisler’s music) and settings of Prevert’s poems, respectively, diminished the sense of closeness between performer and audience which had been so well-established. Lines like the brothel-keeper’s encouraging advice to a melancholy 17-year-old prostitute in “The Love Market,” from the play ound Heads and Peaked Heads “there’s nothing quite like money as an aphrodisiac a girl’s knee only sags at the sight of money bags'’ suggests that the playwright’s lyrics - ... - effective his presentation of them seemed to be Eric Bentley Hungry microphones A far more serious problem, one from which the production really suffered, was the poor setup of the Theater Studio. The sound system swallowed and other miscellaneous material. The translations of Bentley’s lyrics and then seemed reluctant to give German and French lyrics were his, as were some of them back again, so that many lines were the tunes, with the rest of the credit going primarily unintelligible even at the front row of tables. This to Hans Eisler (“the most important of all Brecht’s was made even more annoying by the fact that half composers by far,” Bentley claimed, elevating his the audience could see only the top of Bentley’s stature high above that of the better-known Kurt head; the grand piano hid everything below his Weill) and Joseph Kosma. eyebrows.

In “I Dig America, But than it was. Still, Bentley’s choice of material was Which America Do I Dig,” he sings of an ill-fated fine; even the bottles of Liebfraumilch on each table love affair with his country, vowing that “Nixon weren’t bad.

Esposito City Editor A law designed to make government records more accessible to the public went into effect in New York State on Sept. 1. Known as the Freedom of Information Law, the statute applies to records of the state and its agencies (including the State University), and of all cities, counties, towns, school districts and any other special units established by law for public purpose. The law also prevents the disclosure of any information, such as medical or credit records, which might constitute “an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” The ‘intent’ portion of the legislation explains, “The people’s right to know the process of government decision-making and the documents and statistics leading to determinations is basic to our society. Access to such information should not be thwarted by shrouding it with the cloak of secrecy or confidentiality. The legislature therefore declares that government is the public’s business and that the public, individually and collectively and represented by a free news media, should have unimpaired access to the records of public, said Charles Dumas, director of Communications for the New York State Senate. The law also mandates that government officials provide places where the records can be inspected and copied, although a fee may be charged for such copies. In accordance with the statute, each governmental unit designates a public records access officer to oversee the disclosure of the information. However, Mr. Dumas said, it is not necessary for all information to go through that officer. Furthermore, should an individual be refused access to material he believes he is entitled to see, he may go to court to obtain the right. In addition, agencies are required to maintain an index of their records to facilitate finding the desired information. Anthony Manguso, Buffalo Corporation Counsel, believes that the new law is “comprehensive” and “has amplified rights which the public previously had,” adding that it “still protects those individual rights which have to be maintained as private.” A spokesman for the Erie County District Attorney’s office indicated that the county is now “working on implementation” of the law. government.” Some restrictions First of its kind Prior to the enactment of the new law, there was no legal requirement for governments to make most of their records Governmental agencies may still restrict disclosure of personal matters not relevant to the ordinary work of the agency; personal references of applicants exce when the applicant permits the release in writing); and medical or personal records of clients or patients in hospitals or medical facilities. The government may also prohibit the sale or release of agency lists of names and addresses for fund-raising or other commercial activities. Any item which is not essential to the ordinary work of the agency and which would cause personal woe or economic hardship to those identified if released may also be kept from the public. Information which would give an unfair business advantage to a competitor, for example, would probably not be released. The law also creates a committee on public access to records to advise agencies and municipalities on the workings of the new law; to issue guidelines for its operation, and to recommend amendments to the law. m 20lh Century-Fox Presents A FILM BY PAUL MAZURSKY ART CARNEY “HARRY& ITDI mb ® OPEN!

The Future of Athletics Committee will be charged with determining student opinion on athletics and presenting a coherent plan for the future of athletics. Mr. Jackalone will seek ten members representing different points of view on the scope and funding of intercollegiate athletics. The Constitutional Reform Committee must report by November 27 on proposed revisions of the SA Constitution. Mr. Jackalone and Executive Vice-President Scott Salimando have prepared a list of recommended changes, but Mr. Jackalone emphasized that the committee would have a free hand in drawing up its own revisions. — — One from Column A The Assembly also nominated seven candidates for the position of Student Assembly representative to the Executive Committee. The Assembly will pick two of these seven to replace former representatives Mark Carlin, who graduated last year, and Pamela Benson, who resigned because of other committments, which include chairing the Colleges Chartering Committee. The seven nominees are: Dennis Delia, Steven Schwartz, Gary Schwartz, Jeffrey Schier, Lou Scinta, Andreil Gadson and Karen Cunningham. Assembly members signed up for all standing committees except the Personnel and Appointments Committee. Representative Arthur LaLaonde proposed an amendment to the Constitution changing the method of selection for the Personnel and Appointments Committee, which screens all applicants for SA’s appointed positions. The current procedure is that the President appoints six members with the advice and consent of the Assembly. The Executive Vice-President sits on the Committee as the ex officio chairperson with a vote. Mr. LaLonde’s amendment will make the Executive Vice-President a non-voting member and make the six members elected directly from the Assembly. At the request of another Assembly member, no applicants will be accepted for positions on the Personnel and Appointments Committee until Mr. LaLonde’s amendment is acted upon. Wednesday, 9 October 1974 The . Spectrum . Page five �1Editorial The Ford message: Win what? President Ford's economic message was an expected disappointment.

The only clearly anti-inflationary proposal in the entire package was the 5 percent tax surcharge on corporations and upper income and that, of course, is the item least likely to get by a jittery Congress in a pre-election month. The extended unemployment and work-relief programs (a revival of the New Deal Civil Conservation Corps) can be defended on both humanitarian and common sense grounds. For the including an rest, however, the only general theme was easier money infusion of $3 billion of federal money into the housing market. Nothing could be more likely to fuel the inflationary fires, which will receive additional stimulation from the deregulation of natural gas prices and very likely from special ad hoc supports for farm prices as — well. The President continued to popularize the idea that the previous wage and price control effort did not work, although every serious analyst of the Phase II experience has concluded the opposite and Nixon's own Council of Economic Advisors specifically stated that "We believe it is probable that the controls did reduce the rate of inflation" in their Economic Report for January 1973. As an alternative to repeating this experience (and under the current recessionary circumstances, which would favor another success) Ford offered stronger antitrust enforcement and a long-term study of regulatory problems. The typical major antitrust case takes more than five years to drag through the courts, and our oldest regulatory body is approaching its centennial the Interstate Commerce Commission of unreformed operations (and promises to outlive its regulatory constituents, the railroads). One can scarcely be optimistic. — - In addition, Mr. Ford offered exhortations. To the farmer, be more productive. To the thrift institutions, keep a stiff upper lip. To the automakers, produce a more efficient car (or come up with a design for one within four yearsl) And to the rest of us Write in your ideas to the White House; sign up with Sylvia Porter; wear your WIN button! Well, who can take this seriously? Although the impact of the tax except that few will receive proposals is almost impossible to predict attention in the near future the rest of the "package" is, if anything, pro-inflationary. The Postal Service will undoubtedly have to lay on additional workers to cope with the avalanche, a few more people will move to Washington to swell the bureaucracy, and easier money will remove the one restraining factor now at work in the economy. Although the easing of specific hardships is certainly commendable and a sharp contrast to the Nixon "let-em-eat-smog" appraoch the "package" as a whole contains mostly empty rhetoric and long-term promises. After Watergate, the resignation, and the pardon, it seemed that nothing more could be done to fulfill Mr. Nixon's dream of "bringing us together" (but, as it turned out, on the opposite side). The new Ford plan provides, however, the missing element.

Peters Comment New pessimism and the future by Richard Korman Think about depression. Think about how an economic depression would effect your life. Think for a minute of the material things you’d be less likely to own: the house, the car, the clothes, the paintings, the books, the basketball tickets, the things which make life as good as it is now. If you are poor, not much will change. You’ll just be poorer. But if your not poor, if your father and mother have been working steadily most of their lives, if food and rent money was always set aside before the first of the month, and if you’re the type of person who can take time to go to school for four years, then you stand to lose a lot. You stand to lose your way of life. Consider the consequences of your father being fired. Think about having to live off that money you weren’t going to touch until you were married. Think about staying home this year and looking for a job. No college, no professional school, no hopes for success. Not a dream left intact. And consider the mental sacrifice, the uncertainty, the anxiety, the hollow dispair of knowing your world has caved Depression will change your life. Economic depression will mark your generation with the indelible ink of misery and personal suffering. Even those with an adequate financial cushion will not be able to escape entirely. They’ll have to watch. It will be on T.V. This is not to predict depression or to undermine whatever confidence there is in the national economy. Confidence, however falsely gained or misguided, may at some point be necessary. Depression, and all it entails, should not be encouraged. These are not the rantings of some Labor Party visionary who regularly predicts a Rockefeller-backed world coup, but simply the reflections of a media watcher, a newspaper reader who picks out a trend by following the repetition of a theme. The theme these days: Depression. Why? Most discussions start with the energy crisis and ir>flation and end somewhere around high interest rates and bank solvency. World economics, as evidenced by the doleful confusion of the recent national Maxi-summit, are open to any number of interpretations. That recent fiasco was highlighted by the well-planned, nearly-simultaneous statements from Mr. Kissinger and Mr. Ford which more or less said the oil prices, more than tripled in the last year, and the Arabs are to blame. Those statements, so frankly vigilant in tone, had Secretary of Defense Schlesinger out the next day explaining that the U.S. will not soon go to war with the Arab nations to get control of the oil and save the economy. So he said. Which does little to explain all this talk of depression, except to point out that many people are nervous. It does even less to clarify the real causes and results of the current mess, other than to reiterate facts already well known. So taken together, all views resound with the one un-enlightening note; World capitalism is in trouble. Enough trouble that many reputable writers have devoted column space and their good names to sound warning and serve notice on the public. They write about food prices in New York, bank closings in Europe, and of economic analysts who predict a panic and crash in six months. Six months to two years. That’s not very far away. That’s almost tomorrow. Dan Dorfman, columnist for New York magazine, reported how one widely respected economic pollster had already taken all his money out of the bank and stuffed it in his mattress. And he ought to know something. Besides stock market indicators and cost of living statistics, the long range view for the underdeveloped nations of the world is starvation. A New YOrk Times series on the world food situation reports that it might reach cataclysmic proportions. There is no way, say many informed opinions, to stave off famine in 1975. For those who do manage to eat, there will be fuel shortages and skyrocketing prices. There will be unemployment and cutbacks in ffederal spending to ease the inflationary cycle. On levels of world wide and personal economy, it seems, life is going to become worse and worse and never get better. Its quality will deteriorate with a smooth graphic curve. How much to believe this new pessimism? Well, Watergate and impeachment came true. The question is: Did they come true because of all those hints, or were they part of the inevitable course of things to begin with? The latter, I tend to think. Which is a cold and sobering thought in light of recent trends. If one is already reconciled to a certain future, he may continue logically from that point onward. How best, then, to get out of the dreadful depression? Think about war, if you can. And think about how global world war will affect your life. �If this ends even more abruptly or strangely than usual, it may in fact have to do with the fact that I am sick. Actually and physically ill, that is, as opposed to whatever else you might have been preparing to lay on. I drank a lot of cider early ixr the weekend and whether it was that or the arrival of some marvelous new strain of intestinal microbe or other I do not know. All I know is that in one 24-hour burst, the amount of toilet tissue that that was inadvertent, I swear I have singlehandedly accounted for has been phenomenal. It is also difficult to figure out just how much of the material that wanders through your head while sitting on a toilet at four o’clock in the morning is of sufficient good taste to be of any interest to anybody at all. My head is reasonably able to produce strange points of view most of the time, but at 4 a.m., when strange things are going on inside your body, and you are very spacy anyway, why who knows what limits are available. I remember one clear flash of semi-lucidity which had to do with — — The grump toilet-training. Having repressed large amounts of that period of my life with maximum efficiency, I by Stecse have no idea who did what, or how, or when. All I know is that someone achieved a really solid, unbudgable control system. There I sit, completely dragged out and too tired to see at all. All I want to do is get rid of the Snot-noses offending material so that my stomach will stop sounding like feeding time at the big cat zoo, the cramps will go away, and I can go back to sleep. But this is not a behavior which is available in my limited repertoire. After spending all those years getting control of that... thing, the idea of voluntary relaxation drove my head crazy. All sorts of wierd anxieties about not being able to keep control when it had once been relaxed stole through the dim gloom. It was wonderful. If you are going to be sick, you might as well learn something, no matter how strange. It is quite clear to me that one of the primary things that happens to me when I get sick is that I get very very anxious. Things are going wrong somewhere outside of my control, in the usual immediate sense that leaves me feeling somewhat more secure about the world. There are certain practical precautions one can take that have to do with the illusion of taking care of yourself and maintaining control. Such as walk around with tissues and toilet paper stuck into your brief case. But this is clearly illusionary. What you really want is for both ends to stop running and they won’t. Which seems to be a fairly clear case of something being out of control. 1 mean, what do you do if it doesn’t stop? People die of dehydration in such cases. Of course that could be balanced by increasing your intake of fluids. One half gallon of Ramos Fizzes, please. (Oh, if possible, anybody out there know a good recipe for a Ramos Fizz, a tall complicated but wonderful alcoholic concoction found mostly in the south and in California, please drop me a note at The Spectrum. Actually 1 have a recipe, but it calls for something called Orange Flower Water, which nobody in the world seems to have heard of. So some help with that would also be welcome.) Only problem with drinking is that being sick makes my hangovers even worse, as though that were possible. It is fascinating to keep getting flashes about what bad taste this column is in. It has been clear to me for a long time that bathrooms and certain of the functions which are attended to within such confines are approached with certain reluctance by many people. Once lived in a place with the bathroom off the kitchen. And people would be out there in the rest of the apartment getting mildly sloshed before dinner while I was finishing up cooking whatever. One of the relatively useless but unavoidable bits of information that my head stored was whether or not somebody locked the bathroom door after they shut it. Leaving aside the question of whether it is stranger to lock a bathroom door, or to notice whether someone else does, there does seem to be some reality to the need for privacy in that area. In many homes, my belief is that the only door in the house that has a lock is the bathroom, except external access doors. The curious part of me would like to know just what people expect other people to do to them in such circumstances, but that is probably on some primary level that most of us can’t touch. Enough. If the subject matter was offensive, I’m sorry But how did you get this far? Take care, stay healthy. Pax Correction To the Editor. Who the hell do you people think you are?

We regret the confusion and bad feelings it may have caused. What legislators say publicly gets lost behind closed doors by Ron Hendren College Press Service WASHINGTON - Sen. Lowell P. Weicker, Jr. (R-Conn.) thinks members of Congress should make their financial holdings a matter of public record. this writing, the measure had just reached the Senate Government Operations Committee, and given the best of intentions it would be nearly impossible to hold hearings and report the bill in this session. So Weicker, according to an aide, will probably try to attach his proposal to another bill in the form of an amendment, a tactic that is occasionally used successfully to slip federal funds ever so quietly to special interest groups, but only rarely works when the issue, like this one, is of genuine and broad public concern. Sen. Warren G. Magnuson (D-Wash.) is a master at the technique. Indeed, the titles of most of his bills end with the phrase “and for other purposes.” President Kennedy once said that Magnuson was the only man in the Senate who could stand up, interrupt the proceedings to send up some “little old bill” for immediate consideration, get it passed on the spot, and then five years later tell his constituents it was that bill that authorized funds for the Grand Coulee Dam. Weicker has already done so, and last week he introduced legislation that would require the President, Vice President, and members of Congress to follow suit. In fact, the bill (S.4059) would require every federal employee in the executive and legislative branches who earns more than $30,000 a year to file an annual report listing all assets and liabilities in excess of $ 1500. Not a bad idea. Sen. Weicker, but good luck. You’ll need it. This year’s campaign reform legislation, which Senate and House conferees finally agreed on a few days ago, once contained similar contained them, that is, until the provisions conferees went behind closed doors to hammer out a proposal that would be agreeable to both sides. But Weicker is not Magnuson, and public Needless to say, the disclosure provisions were disclosure of finances is not the Grand Coulee Dam. hammered out all right: hammered right out of the Moreover, even if Weicker is successful in getting the bill, in fact. matter the Senate it will have to go you through You see, it is difficult for a member of Congress it back to a conference committee.

Located on Webster St., the theater was built in 1926 for vaudeville, and, according to manager Jim Hart, it is today still in virtually its original condition. The theater offers a variety of entertainment, including first and second-run movies, rock concerts, and monthly organ recitals sponsored by a theater organ society. In direct contrast with its uninspiring surroundings. The Riviera affords an atmosphere of luxurious elegance. On the front of the building, above the marquee, is a detailed design which includes what is presumably the North Tonawanda town shield. A series of stained glass windows appears above the glass doors of the entrance, which Mr. Hart says were originally built in a different part of the theater and later transferred. chandeliers in the lower lounge, right above the candy counter. Directly in front of the stage is the organ, which operates by means of a giant air blower kept in the theater’s basement, and an extensive system of heavy wooden air pipes. The organ has been utilized to play during the intermission of sound movies, as well as to supply the music for silent films and to play for the organ concerts, for which the theater is always sold out, Mr. Hart notes. He believes the organ could be sold for between $15,000 and $30,000, and because Wurlitzer organs are no longer manufactured, he guessed it would take up to $100,000 to produce a new one.

The Spectrum . Wednesday, 9 October 1974 >»«— Staines, �Two racers win titles as third dies at Grand Prix Carlos “Lole” Reutemann showed everyone how to go last Sunday at the Grand Prix of the United States at Watkins Glen as he breezed his white Number 7 Brabham to his third Formula 1 win of the season. He was followed home by teammate Carlos Pace after the Hesketh-Ford of James Hunt encountered fuel-feed problems. Hunt, who harried Reutemann throughout the first half of the 59-lap, 200-mile event, finished just seconds ahead of Emerson Fittipaldi’s McLaren. Fittipaldi’s 4th place showing was enough to guarantee the 27-year-old Brazilian ace his second World Drivers’ Championship. Jody Scheckter’s retirement due to an overheating engine, and the unexpected poor showing of Clay Regazzoni’s Ferrari left Emerson in control of the points race. The 3 points he received broke his tie with “Regga.” —Duggan Deliberate preparation The weather was ideal for racing. The sun shone brightly on the 25 cars as they were lined up on the starting grid. An air of expectancy was apparent as the drivers donned their helmets. Never before was the world title to be decided at the very last race. The deliberateness of the teams as they did all the little things that need to be done before a race showed that everyone realized the significance of this one. After 14 races on 4 different continents, the champion was yet to be found. back in the pits with the new tire flapping. “Lole” broke the lap records several times as he led the race from start to finish, but Hunt couldn’t keep up with him after his rear brakes gave out. Then near the end. Pace caught him and went by as Hunt kept going slower and slower. “It was all I could do to keep the thing running at the end” said the disgruntled Hunt, after he coasted over the finish line with Fittipaldi breathing down his neck. Fittipaldi’s title is another milestone in a short but already great career. He proved that his jump from Lotus to Team McLaren at the end of last year was not a bad move after all, despite the fact that a McLaren has never been driven to the championship until this season. Reutemann’s great season makes him a real contender . As the green flag fell, the whole pack was off in a tremendous cloud of dust and tire smoke. Reutemann beat Hunt into the first turn and was never headed, although the Hesketh stayed glued to his tail. Regazzoni’s Ferrari came in for a tire change, but it wasn’t long before he was in next year’s points race. The resurgence of the Ferrari as a strong competitor should make next season every bit as exciting as this one has been. Fatal accident The race was marred by tragedy when young Helmut Koinigg lost his life after he lost control of his Surtees and crashed into the Armco barrier at Turn 7. The corner was the scene of a number of other mishaps over the past two weeks as several other cars were damaged on the tricky curve. Catch fences, rather than Armco (several rows of chain link fence supported by half-sawed through wooden poles to progressively absorb the impact) would have prevented the fatality. Experience of this sort is a hard teacher. -Steve Sef ' Statistic box Baseball: October 5 vs. St. Bonaventure Buffalo 000 000 0-0 3 5 St. Bona 110 010 x- 3 6 1 Buzska, Lasky (5) and Dixon; Zelinski and Laplaca Buffalo 000 040 3- 7 5 6 020 021 St. Bona 1-6 6 2 Borsuk, Nejucyk (4) and Dixon; Baum, Martello (5) and Golf: At ECAC qualifier at Cornell, Oct. 5 326, 1st of 20 teams Team score Buffalo individuals: Hirsch 77 (individual Busczynski 86.

That honor went to co-captain Jerry Galkiewicz. The win evened Buffalo’s record at-2-2. The lopsided score allowed Esposito to experiment with his lineup. “It gave me a chance to play a lot of guys,” he said. “I put people at positions they wouldn’t normally play.” Greg Borah was inserted at left fullback, for example, while Pete Cosola was tested at left wing. “He’s [Cosola] got a lot of speed, and it paid off with a pair of goals,” Esposito remarked. No practice, no play Esposito did not play two of his African stars, Jude Ndenge and Emmanuel Kulu, because they had not shown up for practice last week. “If Kulu and Ndenge would get out there and practice, there would be no question in my mind that we’d have a hell of a team,” the coach noted. “I have no doubts about their ability.” Kulu and Ndenge had accounted for the Bulls most consistent Funding Lopsided score half of the team’s goals the Gannon contest. prior to The game was characterized by the Bulls’ swarming around the Golden Knights’ beleaguered goalie, contrast which was in sharp to the Bulls’ previous game, when they had “ten men on defense,” in Esposito’s wry words. This time, the Bulls’ offense controlled the ball almost all the way, giving the defense very little work. In fact, Buffalo goalie Frank Daddario had only one tough save in the first half, and that came when a shot deflected off one of his teammates. Record breaker Buffalo was led by right wing JoJo Dolson, whose four assists set a school record. Dolson, a sophomore transfer from Winston-Salem State, added a goal as well, but felt he could have had more. He and his teammates were denied by the goalposts almost as often as by the Gannon goalie. “Our offense really won it,” said Esposito. “The Brockport had game (a 4-2 defeat] something to do with it. They were determined to win.” The Bulls’ nine goals represents a team record.

Last bubb ofactivities remains a problem for SA 9 ‘ by Bruce Engel to make Clark available for certain cultural events such as speakers or concerts, though he agrees that the bubble itself should not be used for such things. “It’s going to be an insecurable mess,” he said. “But Sporls Editor The temporary Amherst recreation facility commonly known as “TheBubble,” came one step closer to reality last week. However, nagging questions remain concerning the use of the facility the University has had a space crunch for years and this facility has to alleviate the problem in some way.” His plan would call for five or six dates throughout the winter when gym activities would be moved to the bubble to allow for an SA sponsored e vent in Clark Hall. Last spring the SA executive committee activated budget lines that include a $10,000 figure to fund Amherst recreation. Later cuts in the athletic budget should not have affected this line, according to SA officials. “His [Monkarsh] budget hasn’t been touched and it shouldn’t have been. He was budgeted for a whole year and he only has half,” stated Schapiro. and the funding of recreation in it. Recreation director Bill Monkarsh and Facilities Planning Coordinator Dwane Moore announced the awarding of the construction contract last week. As expected, Birdair, a Buffalo based firm, turned in the successful low bid. According to Monkarsh, construction will start as soon as they receive the necessary materials. Conduction is estimated to take 60 days. The previous target date of December 9 is still on the books, though it now appears unlikely. Monkarsh hopes “The Bubble” will be ready for the start of classes in the spring semester. Where’s the money? However, Monkarsh and Athletic Director Harry Classes added Fritz report that there is only a budget of $6000 Along with the contract awarding came the tentatively scheduled for use in funding the Amherst announcement that physical education classes will be recreation.

Last spring, the Faculty-Senate passed a resolution recommending to the President a series of steps that would provide a mechanism for the evaluation of teaching effectiveness. The resolution called for the University administration to set up a permanent Office of Instructional Development (OID) to coordinate the University-Wide Monday, 7 October 1974 State University of New York at Buffalo Vol. 25, No. 21 teaching evaluation book had very limited distribution last year. Many and observers felt it was poorly organized and ineffective, by the was not well received that it indicated Reichert Dr. faculty either. “It got University bad marks,” he said. Dr. Reichert said that he would like to see stronger support for the Senate resolution from the Administration. the He felt President Ketter might not fully realize program. evaluation a teacher strong of potential Referring to Dr. Ketter’s remarks about making use of teaching evaluations in promotion and tenure decisions, programs, provide technical assistance to each academic unit for such evaluations, and help improve the quality of teaching by individual instructors. Specifically, the Senate action mandated that OID coorinate a mandatory teaching evaluation program in each of the seven Faculty units work with each faculty unit and provost to help establish faculty-student committees on teaching evaluation. The chairman, vice chairman and one graduate and undergraduate student of these committees were to serve as official members of the Office of Instructional Development. Past limitations A Student Course and Teaching Evaluation (SCATE) Hochfield, chairman of the Faculty-Senate, a also supports the concept of teacher evaluation, but in the different context. He believes the responsibility for process lies with the students, disagreeing with Dr. Reichert’s plan for a centralized Office of Teaching Effectiveness supported by the University. Teacher be evaluation “is a student undertaking, but should mandatory for the faculty,” Dr. Hochfield said. Realizing George program’s potential advantages, he emphasized that should not use it as a teaching aid.” If a faculty member were totally against being evaluated, there was nothing that could be done except next possibly putting his name on the front page of the explanation, accompanying with an publication SC ATE Dr. Hochfield said. Dr. Hochfield noted that the evaluation “constitutes a public review of teaching confidence, [which is] one thing that should be required.” the Mark Humm, Academic Affairs coordinator of end the student is of Student Association (SA), in charge the SA s of the evaluation procedure. He explained that the “faculty a The previous SCATE book was produced by SA with great deal of financial and procedural help from the Administration, Mr. Humm explained. “They funded almost everything,” he said, including the printing, distribution, collecting and analysis of the information. Reduced costs in his wording of the resolution. and promotion decisions. Student responsibility said. In addition, the resolution provides for decentralization of the teaching evaluation program. It recommends that until teacher evaluations are mandated by the Administration, the individual faculty units should determine the extent of the dissemination of information gathered. Each unit is encouraged to develop evaluation techniques which have sufficient faculty confidence so that the data collected may be used by the student body. Professor Jonathan Reichert was a chief architect of the Senate resolution. He feels students should play an important role in the evaluating process, and stressed the The proposed evaluation plan suffered a blow at the September 24 meeting of the Faculty-Senate, however, President Robert L. Ketter announced that it would be impossible for the University to supply the $60,000 to $80,000 needed to fund a permanent Office of Instructional Development. Good teaching will remain a high priority anyway, Dr. Ketter said, adding that teaching effectiveness would be necessary for purposes of tenure he make an effective impact on teacher evaluation,” maintained, adding, “we are trying to build political steam behind the Senate resolution.” responsibility in the matter is greater than some people he might think. “Either we do it or it doesn’t get done,” Decentralization need for student input opinion not fight harder for teaching effectiveness. “Public of the students to implement the recommendation would Dr. Reichert emphasized that there are “lots of reasons for maintaining an effective program, like considerations for professors and educational feedback for both students and professors. of The program, he added, could be an integral part faculty “It’s one lazy of members. efforts to -keep abreast way we can put pressure on tenured faculty members. Dr. Reichert said, noting the importance of student pressure Dr. on the Administration to get the program going. did that Association Student Reichert was disappointed Mr. Humm explained that using student manpower instead of Administrative personnel would greatly reduce the cost of the operation. He said that the last SCATE book cost SA about $300, and without Administrative support, the cost would skyrocket to $3000. “This is why we are going to the Administration to ask for additional funding,” he said. He also stressed the importance of implementing an effective evaluation system, noting that “students could be considered to be consumers of education,’ and as consumers, “should have consumer protection.” Mr. Humm related teaching effectiveness and evaluation to the broader concept of quality education. “It is the responsibility of the Administration to fund this program,” he asserted.

Gasoline prices fall sharply at many of the local stations by Seth Baskin Spectrum Staff Writer Mobil Oil Corp. reduced the wholesale price of their gasoline by two cents a gallon last Thursday, a move seen by many as a signal for stepped-up retail competition and even lower gasoline prices. Retail gasoline prices in the Buffalo vicinity have decreased steadily over the past three weeks, the first substantial change since last December’s energy crisis, when prices soared from 38 to 60 cents a gallon. One of the primary reasons for the current price the ample supply of gasoline locally. There are two refineries in the Buffalo area, Mobil’s and Ashland’s, and since it is more economical for these refineries to sell gas in the immediate area than to transport it to distant markets, Buffalo is not hit as hard as most areas during shortages like last year’s. drop is Price variations —UPI A random survey of 30 gas retailers in the area showed that the independents are selling gas at a price lower than that of the major retailers. Service stations buying from the major oil companies either have their prices set by the companies, or sell the gas for eight cents above wholesale. Retailers vary their prices by a cent or two because of their operating costs and rent expenses, while independent dealers determine their retail prices solely by their overhead, rent and the competitive prices around them. Difficulties they once had in securing gasoline from the refineries were alleviated by Congressional legislation forbidding refineries and wholesalers from withholding gas from independent dealers. The independents also have the opportunity to buy leftover gas from the major companies, which would rather sell to them than to their major competitors. Optimism Bob Mason, owner of an independent service station that sells gas for 51.9 cents a gallon, said he expects gasoline prices to continue to stay low and go down even further. Louis Pfohl, manager of traffic and safety at the American Automobile Association (AAA), is also optimistic about the current situation. He sees “people cutting down on their driving and forming car pools” as one of the reasons for the adequate gas supplies. “If no additional tax is added onto gas by the President, and there is no unusually harsh winter that causes crude oil to be deferred to heating oil instead of gas, then the present situation should remain stable and promising,” he predicted. �Academic clubs seeking more involvement in SA by Sparky Alzamora Campus Editor “Academics have finally achieved priority ranking in the Student Association (SA),” said SA Academic Affairs coordinator Mark Humm, referring to the recent involvement of academic clubs in the student governing body. Active participation pf the clubs will enable SA to better deal with the Faculty-Senate and the Administration on matters of Academic Policy, Mr. Humm explained. Representatives of eleven academic clubs met again last Thursday evening to develop “some kind of organizational interaction” betwen the clubs. Twelve clubs were represented, as opposed to four at the meeting two weeks ago. Aside from providing SA with a “grassroot organization” to create a political base, active involvement in SA will allow the clubs to form their own political base in the Student Assembly, Mr. Humm maintained. Academic clubs have traditionally had no i voice, he added, and are given the lowest priority ranking in the SA budgetary outlines. Mr. Humm’s immediate concerns encompass academic issues such as Student Course and Teacher Evaluation (SCATE) and advisement among others. Members of the academic clubs, he said, will establish subcommittees that will then study these problems and the best ways of mobilizing student opinion. “These arguments and opinions,” Mr. Humm stressed, “must consider the diverse academic needs of all students and have the support of a strong academic oriented student assembly. In connection with SCATE, Mr. Humm would like to place the responsibility for organizing SCATE, which has usually been the domain of three administrations, into the hands ofSA and the academic clubs. Another subcommittee will investigate the Division of Undergraduate Education’s (DUE) policy on advisement. Mr. Humm does not like the current random selection of advisors for students. “A student might —Center Mark Humm, SA Academic Affairs Coordinator, explaining to academic club representatives Thursday night that their involvement in student government will give students a stronger voice in University-wide decision making. sponsored jointly by go here four years without learning anything each other.

New research Recorded prison suicides are increasing drastically by Dene Dube Feature Editor The recorded rate of suicide in New York State prisons has been increasing drastically within the past decade. In 1973, the rate of inmate suicides in 1 some prisons was six times that of the general population. Records only show an increase and cannot explain why there are rises; spokesmen who do offer explanations maintain that only the number of recorded suicides have risen and not the actual rate. Professor Hans Toch of the School of Criminal Justice at Albany, believes that the attempts at coverups of prison suicides has decreased, but that actual suicides have always been as prevalent as they now are. He has done extensive work on suicide attempts and self-mutilations among prison inmates (see The Spectrum, Sept. 30). There has been increasing pressure from public interest groups to be more open about suicide attempts, said David Speer, director of Research and the Offender Crisis Project at the Suicide Prevention Center in Buffalo. Attempts and gestures toward suicide in prison have been increasing, especially in the Erie County Holding Center, he said, while there were two successful suicides at the Niagara County jail this summer. Less than adequate emotional help Mental health services within the Erie County Penitentiary and the Erie County Holding Center are less than adequate, and the services at the penitentiary are presently defunct, said Mr. Speer. In the Holding Center, “it is no big secret” that suicide attempts have gone up, but then so have the number of pre-trial inmates in custody, claimed Frank Festa, Center Superintendent. There has been only one successful suicide at the institution within the last five years, he said. Suicide attempts at the Center are checked by 24-hour supervision on all the cell galleries. While any objects that inmates 'might use to injure themselves are kept out, inmates still find harmful objects. Porcelain chips broken off from sinks can be used to scratch oneself and possibly bleed to death, said Mr. Festa. Hung on crossbar The one successful suicide that occurred at the Holding House three years ago occurred when an inmate hung himself by his sheet from a crossbar. This particular man had a history of emotional disturbance prior to his incarceration, and had been seen by the mental health worker at the prison. He had been “a failure in school, a failure in the service and a failure at his job,” said .Mr. Festa. He was unsuccessful in his relationships with other people, and he was unsuccessful even in his crime (the alleged molesting of a child). He had had a history of suicide attempts as well. The effects of this incident on the other inmates, as observed by Mr. Festa, caused them to be subdued and nervous for sometime afterward. It had no apparent effect on other self-injury attempts, though. Some attempts normal Inmates who are seen by mental health workers are usually those who have had a history of emotional disturbance, or who exhibit disturbed behavior during the time of their imprisonment, according to Mr. Festa. Much of the self-injury occurring within the prison is considered “normal” to that environment, and would not necessitate the assistance of a mental health worker. Cutting the face and throat areas are considered psychotic behaviors, but cutting the arms and abdomen will usually only require a visit to the nurse, or in more serious incidents, to Meyer Memorial Hospital. A frequent motivation, as Mr. Festa sees it, is the need for attention. Some inmates abuse themselves with regularity and establish a pattern. Others may learn this tactic as a means of getting attention and follow the behaviors of the others, he said. The serious attempts at suicide will take place when the inmate is alone, he added. After dinnerblues A “prime danger time” for self-injuries and suicide attempts is evening after mealtime. Depression sets in from the lack of activity. Inmates may become self-reflecting, and they may not be able to keep themselves from brooding, according to Mr. Festa. However, the period after 8:30 p.m. when most of the outsiders have left and only the inmates and prison guards remain, is considered the most dangerous time, and galleries are checked by constant patrols. Dr. Toch and Mr. Festa both believe that the motivation for these suicide attempts comes from within the individual. They do not consider the physical setting and the prison atmosphere to be a prime responsibility for self-abuse. Page two . The Spectrum Monday, 7 October 1974 .

Neil Goen, Budget Director, emphasizes the point often, almost as often as he emphasizes that “decisions are not made by budget officers.” The budget itself is an intimidating document. The one prepared for next year is a thick, 268-page set of charts, graphs, numbers, titles and explanations, much in computer-size type. It explains how about $134,000,000 will be used in the 1975-76 school year. Its apparent complexity renders it mysterious or frightening to many people and misconceptions abound. Mr. Goen defines a university budget as “an expression of the educational process in fiscal terms.” He emphasized “expression.” The seemingly endless series of numbers represents the “people and things” that make education work. The first point to get straight, then, is that the budget is drawn up only after the essential academic policy decisions have been made. Decentralized decision The second point is that this University’s budgetary procedure differs from that of the other SUNY campuses. For the past several years, the process has been decentralized and “upward integrated;” that is, the decisions come from the lowest administrative levels and are reconciled at the top, rather than having the ideas handed down from the President’s office. For this reason, this University does not provide a presidential contingency fund to handle emergencies and distribute funds. On other SUNY campuses, the budget is controlled largely from the president’s office. This part of the budgetary process is known as the “administrative flow.” In a decentralized system like the one here, department chairmen decide the needs of their departments and set priorities. These priorities reflect the “educational mission” the department sets for itself. From there, the proposals go to the appropriate provost or vice president. Since, as Mr. Goen said, departmental budget proposals are “more or less parochial,” the provost or vice president brings these requests into line with the needs of his or her particular division. The president then repeats the process, reconciling the needs of the various divisions with those of the whole University. Who gets what By then someone is bound to be disappointed. This can’t be avoided. When decisions reach the vice presidential and presidential levels, “a large element of reality must come in,” said Mr. Goen. The budget requests must be examined in the light of two problems: 1) whether the available resources are being used effectively, and 2) what tradeoffs to make. The tradeoffs are necessary because real needs always far exceed available resources. As a result, everyone gets less than they want and many get less than they need. In the jargon of budget officers, the SUNY system operates on the PPBS system, which Mr. Goen terms “an acronym that’s simply another word for common sense.” PPBS stands for Planning, Program, Budget and System. “Planning” involves the priority-setting process already described. After the decisions pass the presidential level, however, the process begins again. The proposed budget goes to the central administration in Albany, where the needs of any particular SUNY unit are balanced against those of the whole system. Then the process is repeated yet again when the SUNY budget goes before the State Legislature. “Program” is putting together the resources to carry out the ideas decided upon in the Planning stage. Up to this point, there are no fiscal implications. That comes in the next step. “Budget” is figuring out the costs of the program and allocating the necessary resources. At this point, the total money available is distributed according to the decisions made in the previous steps. Finally comes the “system” step in the process. Much of the effort here is concentrated on bookkeeping and technical chores, making sure funds are not overcommitted and only accurate information gets processed. But the hardest and most important part of the process is finding ways to measure the success or failure of the policies decided upon in achieving the educational goals set forth in the planning stage. Two budgets At any given time, the budget office works with two the one for the current year, and either separate budgets the leftover work on the previous year’s budget or preparation of the next year’s budget. In the midst of all this, any changes in the budget must be recorded and evaluated. Often, mid-year changes in budget lines involve commitments for the following year. If that occurs, the budget office must inform the appropriate vice president, who then makes the decision whether or not to tie up a portion of next year’s budget. The decision must come from the vice president; the budget office cannot make policy decisions. The problems of fiscal technology and the technical aspects of formulating a budget are, of course, hard for the amateur to understand. Like {all specialized branches of knowledge, it requires years of training. But the basic assumptions that underlie the budgetary process are simple enough for anyone to grasp. — Without Day Care Child care options outlined Prices at the various Day Care are consistent throughout the city, from $20 to $40 a week.

In Buffalo, the federal Department of Health, Education and Welfare, the United Fund, and various church organizations subsidize Day Care centers. Sliding scale At the Guardian Angel Day Nursery on Deleware Ave., a sliding pay scale is in effect. While parents pay from $4 to $8 per day, the average cost per child is $ 13 a day.

Feeling as he does, Judge Breitel has taken a strong position on the judicial disciplinary system. “Just two weeks ago I convened the court on the judiciary to consider the removal or retirement of a judge in the first judicial district,” he said. Movement in the direction of disciplinary action has progressed in light of criticism that “judges never will do anything about cleaning their own house.” Unless there is a good initial selection of judges, “what good is a good sanitation department to clean up the system?” Judge Breitel asked. Mentioning some problems of the “democratic process” by which judges are elected, Judge Breitel admitted, “I was elected chief judge last year for reasons I’m not at all sure why. I know that when I started on the campaign, virtually no one outside the bar had ever heard of me, or they cared less.” he said. “People in the court system are elected at contested elections, running on different Good publicity political platforms, and having Judge Breitel credited the media different political allegiances .with introducing him to the public. before they become judges,” he He received “awfully nice went on. editorials” and “the Bar Association couldn’t have been nicer.” Although reluctant to spend a great deal of money, “the candidate eventually got seduced” at an estimated cost of one-half million dollars, most of which went into 30-second television advertisements.

Organized in the U.S. by members of the Vencermos Brigade, this was thefirst note: five student journalists from delegation of student journalists to visit Cuba since the 1959 Revolution. This is the final article in a five-part series. by Paul Krehbiel Contributing Editor After the triumph of the Cuban Revolution on January 1, 1959, Cuba broke all binds of foreign domination and set forth a foreign policy based on “mutual respect between nations, non-intervention in the affairs of other countries, the right of all peoples to self-determination, and proletarian internationalism.” Relations between the United States and Cuba became strained, however, and broke into hostility in 1961. Before the revolution, the U.S. bought 66 percent of all Cuban exports, of which a large percentage was sugar, and supplied 75 percent of Cuba’s imports. The large plantations and corporations were nationalized by 1960, and the U.S. cancelled all sugar and other imports from Cuba, and stopped sending fuel oil and machine parts. Havana and other parts of the country were bombed on April 15, 1961. At the burial ceremony for the victims, Fidel Castro accused “U.S. imperialism,” and proclaimed that Cuba would now develop as a socialist state. On April 17, the U.S. government, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and Cuban counter-revolutionaries launched an attack on Cuba at Playa Giron, with an estimated force of 1400 men, fighter bombers, tanks, and heavy artillery. Some Cubans we spoke with felt the U.S. was hoping the Cuban counter-revolutionaries could gain control of a small area, proclaim themselves the real government of Cuba, and invite U.S. Marines, Army, Navy and Air Force to come to their defense. Then, with the economic problems caused by the U.S.-imposed blockade, the Cuban people would rush to the side of the “real government,” and overthrow the communists. Known as the Bay-of-Pigs invasion, practically the opposite happened. The local Committees for the Defense of the Revolution rushed to the beach-head to repulse the invaders, and with the militia and army, defeated the assault in less than 72 hours. We spoke to two Cubans who fought here. One, who lost an eye during the battle, is now a supervisor at Havana’s fishing port, while the other is on the editorial board of Juventud Rebelde newspaper. In 1963, through the Organization of American States (OAS), the U.S. attempted to get other Latin American countries to end all trade with Cuba, in order to increase her economic hardships. Socialist trade Yet in 1964, Cuba experienced the largest trade exchange in her history. With only 4% of her trade in the Western Hemisphere, she was able to establish the bulk in Europe. Over 55% of her total trade was now with other socialist countries. The Soviet Union accounted for 40% of it alone, including the purchase of most of Cuba’s sugar export. In 1972, Cuba was formally linked to Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, and the Soviet Union in the Council for Mutual Economic Cuban poster, entitled "Like in Viet Nam," expresses the aid given by Cuba to the Vietnamese offensive.

The group of 45 students who attended the meeting feel that they are being cheated out of many benefits which the University offers dorm students. “We pay all these fees and don’t get any of the benefits... it’s maddening!” claimed Barb Benner, a lifelong Buffalo resident. “I feel left out, have no sense of belongingness.” Six sub-groups of the larger committee have been chosen to deal with commuter problems. A Transportation and Parking Committee will explore ways of dealing with the lack of parking facilities. A broad range of activities is being planned by “Lack of Activities” committee, under the direction of Cathy Venezia.

Page five �rial 1Edi ooking Outside by Clem Colucci On good teaching Every year, we hear administrators, faculty and students say that evaluating and improving teaching effectiveness is of the utmost importance, and every year, nothing concrete is done about it. Last Spring, for example, the Faculty-Senate passed a resolution calling on the administration to establish a permanent Office of Instructional Development (OID) to coordinate all of the University-wide teaching evaluation programs. The OID was to have given technical assistance to each academic unit for evaluating teaching performance and improving the abilities of individual instructors, and provide for the creation of several faculty-student committees to work together on teaching evaluation. Despite the enthusiasm generated by the proposal. Dr. Ketter recently announced that the University simply could not provide the funds this year for an Office of Instructional Development. Good teaching remains a high priority. Dr. Ketter was quick to add, and faculty who seek tenure and promotion will still have to document their teaching effectiveness. Unfortunately, OID was designed to be the mechanism for documenting good teaching. If the Office is not put into operation, faculty with stacks of published books and articles will continue to receive long-term appointments while skilled instructors leave the University in large numbers. We have no doubt that publishing is a vital and worthwhile pursuit for a professional educator, and that research in one's chosen field strengthens one's teaching abilities. But it must be recognized that actual teaching requires as large a commitment of time as publishing, and that teaching abilities have never been given enough weight in tenure considerations. Because the actual quality of good teahcing is individualistic and therefore difficult to measure on impersonal data forms, we feel instructors up for tenure should be regularly observed in the classroom and appraised by their colleagues. An effective Office of Instructional Development would facilitate this. It is reasonable to assume that students will be better off with an instructor who is dynamic, insightful, or simply a catalyst for good discussion than with a widely published Vale scholar who is boring and ine'fective in the classroom. But the creation of an Office of Teaching Effectiveness has been delayed for so long that it looks as though there won't be one for some time to come. Consequently, it is even more imperative for Student Association to get moving on its Student Course and Teacher Evaluation (SCATE). If no real effort is made by faculty and administrators to upgrade teaching effectiveness, students must be given some way of discerning which teachers they should stay away from. The SCATE book that in now in the library is a big, thick volume of indecipherable charts and statistics, one whose very make-up keeps students away from it. SA should follow the example of the State University at Binghamton in producing a readible and effective SCATE He’s back. Who’s back?

For this reason, it is essential that academic clubs continue to increase their representation on the Student Assembly and In To the Editor. Recent articles in The Spectrum have raised the hackles of numerous Law faculty and students. The issue of allocation of scarce resources inevitably leaves some party feeling that the wrong priorities have been addressed. However. I feel what has really escaped public attention is a more fundamental issue. The issue that is really being debated is the acceptance of and commitment to a different mode of legal education. The Langdell model of legal education was a breakthrough in its time. That model is still valid today and in fact remains the dominant model of legal education. The push for clinical experience in legal education is not new. In fact, prior to Langdell clerking for an attorney (i.e., a “clinical” experience) was the dominant method for admission to the bar. In some cases this method of admission to the bar is still available in New York. However, admission to the bar and a serious academic grounding in legal thinking are two very different pursuits. The more recent demands for clinical experience are really an attempt to weld the need for excellence in legal thinking with excellence in the application of that was long and fraught with pitfalls. The crucial issue debated was not the commitment to a certain number of clinics, but the commitment to the concept that clinical experiences must be a part of legal training. 1 suspect that the reason it took us two years was not because of the intransigence of the faculty but because of their real desire to assure the continued quality of the standard academic program, and to assure in a generic sense the quality of clinical programs. Now it seems the issue is before us again albeit couched in different terms. The idea that the law school is somehow overcommitted to clinics assumes in some sense that clinics are a luxury to be funded only after full funding of the standard academic program. This approach fails to make that very fundamental commitment to the proposition that excellent academic training and careful clinical process training are indispensible responsible legal education. to a complete and Whether the law school has actually made this commitment it seems to me is the real and critical issue. An attack on resource allocation which belittles the role of clinical experiences in legal education is not only self-defeating, but also shows a thinking. rather miserable understanding of the real issues A group of students I was associated with in confronting us as law students. 1971 spent almost two years negotiating, studying and proposing clinical programs to the faculty.

Bill Martin Director, Student Legal Aid Clinic Day care not a right To the Editor. At the present moment, there seems to be a lot of concern regarding the financial situation of the Day Care Center. It seems to me that Day Care was initiated solely by the surplus budget of Sub-Board and very little support from any other office because of its trivial nature. The fact of the matter is that giving approximately $30,000 to about 50 parents is not only unrealistic, but is downright selfish. Being married and going to school is one thing, but having children and dumping them off at the expense of the students of this University is inconsiderate. I fail to see the logic in “day care is a right.” Any organization that demands such a large quantity of money for so few people has to be in a priviledged situation and they should be thankful for the help they have received up until now. The budget of Sub-Board is such that the parents of children in day care will just have to put their children in private institutions as do other people in similar situations.

Bennett Rubinroit The truth about North Dakota To the Editor. to the Great North Dakota In regard Conspiracy, my brother, who is a professional SUNYAB, graduate work at political scientist (BA SUNY at Albany, currently employed as taxi driver), has been researching this specific phenomenon ever since his cross-country tour. He has documented whole volumes of details and governmental misrepresentations, and having perused this material, 1 am prepared to offer this brief synopsis. Apparently, to end the cultural revolution (Circa 1969), all Red Guards (about 15.8 million) were forced to excavate a gigantic pit, ostensibly to find out what is at the root of the matter. However, so zealous were these youthful exuberants, that having reached the center of the earth, they continued to dig their way out in the same direction until they approached the state of North Dakota from below. Needless to say, various directives were delivered to all overseas operatives announcing the great achievement, but a certain Chinese agent who works at the Kwong Chow restaurant in Toronto became so elated that he inadvertently placed his directive into a fortune cookie. This directive was passed from diner to diner for comic relief until an off-duty mountie named Dudley Durite confiscated the message and ignited a ripple of secret service concern which led to the infiltration of 4.7 million Canadian nationalists into the state of North Dakota under the guise of tourism. All material goods of the state were sold over a period of 19 months in a franchised fast-furniture - chain owned by Donald Nixon, which stretched from Salt Lake City to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The people were incarcerated as spectators in World Hockey League areanas owned by G. David & Son. Curiously, when the Chinese finally broke through, the entire state of North Dakota plunged into the abyss along with several million Red Guards. The triumphant achievement was hollow indeed, as all the people and their goods were already abducted by the fanatic Canadian nationalists, and every Red Guard died in the cataclysm. Since the breakthrough, the government has been trying frantically to cover-up. The Army Corps of Engineers has covered the entire area with reinforced steel and concrete. Walt Disney Studios has been contracted to provide paper-mache topographical features, and of course, no one can be found in the area except a few surplus test dummies and hallucinating hitchhikers. There are only two known survivors. Fargo North (decoder) is currently employed by the Childrens Workshop Theater, and la belle Lorraine S. has been forcibly enrolled in a variety of philosophy courses by the CIA in order to further disorientate her mind at this very campus. Nonetheless, beneath the cover-up attempt remains the nothingness, and the government is not acting in good faith with the people. Unless the people act quickly and convincingly the government continue to ride roughshod over this incident. We urge all to write your local congressman and protest this atrocity.

The pardon came exactly thirty days after Ford took office, and on the eve of the first scheduled date of the cover-up trial’s beginning as if it had been pre-ordered that way. Ford took few into his confidence, and asked for no real advice moral and political advice, as opposed to the legal research that had to be done before making a statement (and even that was less a question of research into whether the pardon should be granted than of finding out how it could be done). All this suggests that there was no decision to be made things were all taken care of — - — beforehand. This secrecy is unlike Ford as the team player, even in his pre-presidential days.

His noble rhetoric of defiance Contrast the way Ford pardon for Nixon’s aides — - for public opinion and doing only what is right, adopted for the Nixon pardon, was totally abandoned when the other pardons were shown to be unpopular. The price of the Nixon pardon, to Ford himself, to his party, to the country, was enormous. Already, just to take one case, it has jeopardized the election of Nelson Rockefeller’s personal choice for Governor of New York. Why would he be willing to pay this price? Only two answers are offered by the events. The first is that Mr. Frod’s conscience demanded this sacrifice for the national good. But that is to praise his conscience at the expense of his intellect. The sacrifice did not promote the national good. Insofar as a pardon could serve that purpose, it would have done it far better later on. Besides, when has Mr. Ford’s conscience acted in a vacuum, without shrewd soundings of party and national opinion? The last time we heard Mr. Ford waxing extravagantly moral, it was over Justice Douglas’ willingness to let his prose lie down near naked ladies on the and now we know that was part of an act put page on at John Mitchell’s request. So, if it was not a lonely, self-punishing act of conscience, than what was the pardon? Part of a deal. Not a formal arrangement spelled out in contract form and signed with blood, but a commitment made nonetheless. And made without the public’s knowledge, behind a series of acts intended to prevent the public from knowing. A deal denied, but not believably. A deal that may, or may not, have sunk Mr. Ford. Nixon is the national tarbaby; all who touch his pitch are stuck to it forever.

Robinson, who has managed successfully in winter baseball in Puerto Rico, has been expressing a strong desire to manage for several years. His probable Hall-of-Fame career has included time with pennant-winning teams in both Cincinnatti and Baltimore, as well as the Most Valuable Player awards in both major leagues, the only man ever to do that. Currently he stands fourth on the all-time home run list with a total of 574. The national press heralded the news as a great step for baseball and a move toward racial equality as well. President Gerald Ford sent Robinson a telegram calling the selection “welcome news for baseball fans across the nation.” Baseball Commissioner Bowie Kuhn said at the press conference, “We got something done that we should have done before.” On the local scene, Larry Williams, President of the Black Student Union also commented “I think that was wonderful.” False Illusion However, David Gerber of the History Department does not see the development as terribly significant. “This has symbolic value, but it creates a false illusion of progress. What does it mean for the average guy?” he asked. Dr. Gerber, who teaches a course in Black-White relations, feels that the appointment is tokenism. “Something like this can sap the energies that can be used to strive toward creating a society with equality for everyone. Not everyone is a Frank Robinson and he shouldn’t have to be,” Gerber said, intimating that only the most outstanding blacks have been given the chance to succeed. Leo Richardson, Buffalo’s head basketball coach and one of the few black head coaches in the country, proclaimed as many others have that the appointment was long overdue. And BSU’s Don Hawkins said “It’s about damn time.” Richardson feels that the appointment may open the doors for other black managers, and he could not agree with the label of tokenism. “Someone had to start, and Cleveland did. He’ll survive on his merit like any other manager," the coach said. Richardson, who well remembers when Frank’s namesake Jackie, broke baseball’s color line in 1949, saw no relationship between the two events. “Jackie had to put up with a lot of racial slurs in those early days. We’re past that,” he asserted. “Society is a little more grown up now.” Pressure on the brother The mood in the BSD office was generally happy “Any time baseball or football hires black administrators, I think it’s good,” said the organization’s vice-president George “Flash” Thomas. “If blacks can excel on the field, they can excel as mamagers,” he added. Thomas was quick to recognize the social impact of the appointment. —UPI Jackie Robinson, front right, with Sandy Koufax and Roy Campanella when the Dodgers retired their uniform numbers two years ago. Twenty-five years after Jackie became baseball's first black player, namesake Frank became the game's first black manager. “There’s going to be a lot of pressure on the brother,” he said. “1 hope he succeeds.” Thomas, Hawkins, and BSU member Doc Brown discussed the issue with fervor. Brown felt that other blacks, like Maury Wills and Larry Doby, are really more qualified to be managers than Robinson. Hawkins countered with the fact that Robbie has managed in Puerto Rico and has been the team leader wherever he has played throughout his career. On the issue of whether or not people will attend the Indians’ contests, Hawkins felt that Cleveland’s black majority may come out in large numbers. “1 think a lot of white people may come out, hoping to see him fall on his face,” Brown replied. Like Dr. Gerber and Coach Richardson, the trio disagreed on whether or not there was tokenism involved in the appointment. “He’ll be out on his ear if he doesn’t do well,” said Brown. “That’s why it’s tokenism.” But Thomas and Hawkins feel he’ll be there more than one year. Sink or swim, win or lose, the eyes of the nation will be on Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium next year. There have been 180 managerial changes in the major leagues since Jackie Robinson first took the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers 25 years ago. Frank Robinson’s appointment is the first one that might qualify as a social experiment. Freedom next? Larry Williams, BSU’s outspoken President, had the final word: “If Black people can be managers, how about letting us be free?” Nice try Yankees! The New York Yankees made a run for it all this year, but got nosed out at the finish. Ten years of frustration among loyalists continues. But take heart, Yankee fans.

Rubin Staff Writer Spectrum Do physical education teachers really practice what they preach? A survey of people involved with athletics and physical education here shows that they do. All of the surveyed administrators spend at least coaches said that and they a couple of hours each week maintaining a reasonable level of physical fitness. While some spend only one or hours each week exercising, running, or participating in any of a number of sports, many Buffalo coaches and administrators take time each day to keep trim. Jack Baker, 37, chairman of the Physical Education Majors program, runs about six miles each day, and swimming coach Bill Sanford, in his 50’s, swims half a mile and plays tennis daily. two Two birds or no teeth Of course, many coaches are too busy during the day to tend to their own needs, “i find myself in the position of a dentist who doesn’t have time to take care of his own teeth,” explained wrestling coach Ed.

However, Sal Esposito, Buffalo soccer coach, has found a way to kill the proverbial two birds with one stone, explaining, “I chase after soccer players.” While golf, tennis, and jogging are the most common pasttimes among Buffalo athletic personnel, there is a wide range of activities in which they are involved. Women’s golf coach Jane Poland skis; women’s basketball coach Carolyn Thomas is an avid backpacker; and Viola Diebold (a phys. ed. instructor) works out at a nearby health spa. The survey also shows that coaches and administrators have vastly changed their activities since their college days.

Last year, the federal government paid more than $1 million in such reimbursements. As of July 1974, the Guaranteed Student Loan program has paid $10,235,000 to bail out 8380 students. Fearing that this trend might spread, Congress is considering a law that would exempt students from bankruptcy proceedings for settling their loans until five years after the first payment is due. Hearings are currently being held in Washington, and the bill may be brought to a vote this spring. - To qualify for bankruptcy, a student must declare himself independent of his parents and prove to the court that he has no income or credit. Students who do not own a house, land, or a car, and who have no savings or bank accounts meet these qualifications. Letters from gas stations, department stores, or national companies, indicating that a student is not eligible for a credit card, may also be submitted as proof. Six percent bankrupt Reports say that bankruptcies now account for six percent of all Cuban ties abroad. By far, the greatest assistance is received from the USSR. We saw equipment in a machine shop, Havana’s fishing port, the lenin Hospital, and on farms that had been made in the Soviet Union. Cuba also has very close relations with the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam), and the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam, both having embassies in Havana. Cuban workers have produced extra material to send to Vietnam. “With Vietnam,” said one woman, “we are one, because we have gone through the same struggles.” We saw several large billboards paying tribute to the Vietnamese in their fight for independence. Cuba feels close to the people of other underdeveloped countries, and organized the historic Tri-continental Conference in 1 966 to bring them together. Revolutionary forces from 82 countries from Asia, Africa and Latin America attended the conference to strengthen ties of friendship in their fight against colonialism, and economic control by foreign businesses. Latin American people Of particular importance to the Cuban people is the history and life of other Latin American peoples, much of which is similar to their own past. John Gerassi writes in the GreatFear in Latin America, in the mid 1960’s, that “Guatemala City’s 400,000 inhabitants live in swampside slums, and true, many peasants live in mud huts without sanitation. . . .” They have little food or education, but high unemployment and disease. United Fruit company owns much of the fertile land in Guatemala and exports bananas for high profits while the Guatemalan people go hungry. Gerassi reports that in 1962, the protests of the people were crushed, and people he spoke with said, “that the whole government apparatus was taken over by the CIA.” baseball, football, and field toward more personal sports like golf and tennis. All five women surveyed said they were involved in whatever team sports were available in their college days. Except for the speedskating done by women’s tennis coach' Betty Dimmick, in fact, the women were strictly team athletes then. Yet only one of those five is still playing any team sport on a regular basis. Attitudes toward the comparative fitness of coaches and businessmen were also surveyed None of those polled said that coaches should be in School hockey, better condition than the average businessman. In fact, assistant basketball coach Harry Hutt said just the opposite is true, noting, “It’s more important for an executive who’s pushing . himself. Education, Health Fritz, pointed out, “Students react better to a good-shape coach. An unfit coach can ‘ring a little hollow’ on some points.” Important for everyone On the other hand, Viola Die bold made no distinction between coaches and the rest of society, saying, “It’s important for everyone to be fit. Everyone requires conditioning.” However, most answers included words like “image” and “example,” the thought that conveying athletes will have more respect for a coach who can do the 50 sit-ups he demands than one who just demands that the sit-ups be done without being able to do them Among the more skilled Buffalo coaches and administrators are tennis coach Pat McClain, who doubles as the pro at the Buffalo Tennis Club, and baseball coach Bill Monkarsh, who plays tennis in local tournaments. Men’s Physical Education Chairman Ed Muto and golf coach Bill Dando are both near-scratch golfers. Other active people include Sanford and Baker as well as assistant basketball coach Bob Case, who plays paddleball, handball, basketball and intramural sports; Betty Dimmick, who plays tennis three or four times a week; and Coordinator of Women’s athletics Cindy Anderson, who is involved with a local field hockey league.

She also maintains friendly relations with countries that have struck out on an independent path, such as Peru, and recently Panama. Persecuted revolutionaries Cuba has also become a home for persecuted national liberation fighters and junta ruling Chile broadest majority another, “that they An underground is “so hated by the of the people,” said can not rule for long.” resistance movement is being organized, and when they are prepared, “they will overthrow the fascists, and bring democracy back to Chile again.” The Chileans had volunteered to build some apartments at Alamar to express their appreciation for Cuba’s solidarity with them. persons and myself are forming the American-Cuban Friendship Committee in Western New York To achieve these broad goals, we will work to: 1) end the economic blockade Chilean resistance We also spoke with Victor Otero, the of the Committee of Solidarity with Chile, located in Havana. This is the major center in the hemisphere, uniting all the parties from the Popular Unity government and the Movement of the Revolutionary Left. The committee aids Chilean refugees and the resistance, publishes information, and plans activities to oppose the present dictatorship. Mr. Otero said one indication of the high level of organization in the underground was revealed one morning when the military government woke up to 1,500 freshly painted anti-government wall murals all across Chile. In recent months, there has been growing interest among some of our government leaders, to consider improving Vice-President The remains of a tail-section of a U.S. warplane that was shot down over Cuba during the Bay-of-Pigs invasion, is now on display outside the Museum of the Revolution in Havana. Alongside the tail-section is one of the small boats that was used to carry Cuban counter-revolutionaries ashore during the invasion. from right-wing Latin countries, such as Chile, Uruguay, Bolivia, Venezuela, and Brazil. We spoke to a group of Chileans working at Alamar, who escaped from Chile after the bloody coup of September 1973 that overthrew the elected government of Slavadore Allende. “Many thousands were murdered immediately,” said one worker, “and many thousands more were arrested and tortured.” They said the repression was continuing even today, and that they were lucky to have escaped themselves. The military communists American relations with Cuba. Senators Jacob Javits (R., N.Y.) and Claiborne Pell (D., R.I.) have just returned from a three-day trip to Salvadors Attends, the Marxist President of Cuba. Chile, was assassinated in the bloody right-wing coup that overthrew the Popular American-Cuban friendship Unity government, September 11, 1973. But the sailing is not going to be smooth, especially when Mr. Javits criticizes Cuba for insisting that the economic blockade be lifted before negotiations begin. In light of the past aggression against Cuba, it is hardly an unreasonable demand, and should be granted immediately. To facilitate the improving of relations between the United States and Cuba, and to build friendship between the American and Cuban people, several interested against Cuba, 2) end all attacks upon Cuba from the U.S. or its bases including violations of Cuban airspace and waters, and 3) withdraw all U.S. military troops from the Guantanamo Naval Base on Cuban territory. - Only by respecting the independence and sovereignty of Cuba can we reduce hostilities in the hemisphere, and develop mutually beneficial relations with the Cuban people.

The charges are vague and unsupported, and are the result of misperceptions which represent the views of only a small constituency, the faculty said Wednesday. Many of the shortcomings cited by the students, they claim, are not the result of an overcommittment to clinical programs but have been caused by cutbacks in resources once thought to be available. The faculty feel the financial crises affecting the rest of the University play a role in the Law School as well. In an open letter sent to the Law faculty early this week, the students declared they are being denied opportunities in widely-practiced professional areas so that a few can be provided with “expensive training within narrowly specialized seminars and clinics.” Both resources and faculty lines are being diverted to the clinical programs, and it is likely that even greater committments will be necessary to continue the programs as the grants expire, the students warned. Day Care is urge too tain fundsfrom an academic unit by Don Etsenmann Contributing Editor Students and Day Care staff members held another rally Wednesday afternoon in Haas Lounge to gather support for their fight to obtain state funding for the Day Care Center. After meetings with President Robert Ketter late Tuesday i and early Wednesday, Day Care representatives reported that they were again told that money for Day Care must come through direct academic channels. Dr. Ketter reportedly suggested they contact one or several of the 128 academic departments and explore the possibility of getting funds through them. However, Helen Stynetski, treasurer of the center, said “in terms of funding the day care center and meeting our request for $29,000, nothing concrete was accomplished.” Dr. Ketter said after the two meetings that he had reviewed the conditions under which the center could survive and that the only way it can secure more funds is to become “tied to an academic unit.” The Day Care Center is asking only that the administration provide $29,000, and is not currently exploring other possibilities. Dr. Ketter explained. He felt the tactics being used were making Day Care an emotional issue, and were only hurting the Day Care supporters. “If things get out of hand, closing the center is something I may have to consider,” Dr. Ketter added. After the more than 200 rally participants expressed support for Day Care, they marched to Hayes Hall, chanting “The people united cannot be defeated,” and “They say cut back, we say fight back.” The group stormed through and around Hayes Hall for about 30 minutes under the watchful eye of four uniformed Campus Security officers. They stopped several times outside Dr. Ketter’s office, promising they would be back in a militant fashion if the administration does not come through with their request for funds. The demonstrators then marched back to Norton Hall, pledging “we’ll be back to fight back.” Earlier, in the Haas Lounge, Angela Kile of Women’s Studies College described the initial battle to establish the Day Care Center in 1970, when all they had was “determined parents who knew that their only choice, if they wanted to get an education, was day care.” Ms. Kile said they had demonstrated for an entire year, during which time “letters went unanswered and we were passed from vice president to vice president. Despite feeling “scared and exhausted,” the only thing that kept the group going was the “kids who we knew needed care,” she said. Ms. Kile added that she could not understand how the state can afford money for such things as wall-to-wall carpeting and expensive landscaping at the North campus while there is no money available for day care. “Women cannot work, cannot come to the university if they don’t have money for day care,” Ms. Kile declared. “If we stand together with strong support, we can win and win big.” Nancy Osborn, assistant to the director of the Day Care Center, stressed the need for student Unsupported assertions “These are unsupported assertions, full of generalities, which make it difficult to know what they have in mind,” maintained Law professor Milton Kaplan. “There is no guarantee that these resources [if not utilized] would go to things they want,” he said. Law professor Robert Gordon felt there was no evidence that resources are being diverted. There are “just not enough faculty,” he observed, and the school has been forced to do best with what it has. There are presently close to 750 enrolled students at the Law School and 43 teaching faculty. By next year, enrollment will have increased from 600 to 900 over a three year span. At the same time, the number of Law faculty has grown at the rate of five new lines a year. Several spokesmen fear that this expansion may soon end and that new faculty will be hired only to replace retirees. The students also criticized Dean Richard Schwartz for seeking well-qualified, reputable instructors rather than faculty whose area of specialization fills a gap in the Law School course offerings. “People are being sought for excellence in their area of specialization and are then being coerced into teaching in the professional program,” one student contended. “No matter how many decoarations you hang on a Christmans tree, it’s still going to fall over if the base is rotten,” he added. Rightful “That’s really ridiculous,” Dr. Gordon declared, saying that these criticisms show a misunderstanding of how law faculty are recruited. “Poeple don’t define their specialties by major course needs,” he explained. Law faculty were being rightfully sought on a basis of individual excellence, Dr. Gordon said. He pointed out that it is customary for new faculty to negotiate which courses they will teach after they are hired This semester, one or more sections were closed in courses on Federal Tax, Family Law, Labor Law, Commercial Transactions and Criminal Procedure. However, several faculty indicated that sooner or later all students would have the opportunity to take these courses. “If we had 60 faculty instead of 43, there wouldn’t be any problem at all,” commented Law professor Louis Del Cotto. Dr. Del Cotto said that committments to clinical programs were made two years ago, when resources were more plentiful. “In fairness to the Dean,” he added, “you just can’t forsee” the subsequent cutbacks and deficits. You hire people to teach in the clinical programs, and then you’re stuck,” Dr. Del Cotto said. “In any system where 800 students are free to pick and chose,” added Dr. Kaplan, some courses will be under or over subscribed.” Irony support to force the administration to solve the problem. Ms. Osborn also said the administration is trying to frighten day care supporters by claiming that there are outside agitators involved and insinuating that there might be possible expulsions and dismissals. Dia Horreman, a Center staff member, felt they have no choice “but to use militant tactics to force the administration to give us what is our right $29,000 and on-going funding.” In connection with the question of funding, Kathline Cassiol, Day Care Center director, explained that her original title was “research associate,” which is in keeping with the directive that the Center can be funded only if it directly relates to aiding in the education of students. However, because job titles must match job descriptions when requesting funds from the state, the money was requested for her as “director” of the day care center. A hold was put on this job line by Albany but was approved Wednesday. — M uch of the current students' criticism has been directed toward the clinical Simulated Law Firm (SLF). They say the demand for this kind of program has been largely over-estimated, and that its enrollment has dropped substantially. Some faculty feel the students’ complaints are ironic since this program was instituted in response to their criticism that law schools were not providing sufficient training for students who wanted to prepare for actual practice. The SLF, originally part of the Integrated Professional Practice Program, is simply an extension of existing trial teaching techniques, according to certain faculty, and is therefore a professionally-oriented program. The Law School’s Long Range Planning Committee is currently formulating a master plan which will outline the School’s growth and development over the next ten years. Some faculty have been surprised and annoyed that the same students who signed the open letter have not contributed any recommendations at Planning Committee sessions. Law Professor Mark Galanter said the student criticisms were born out of a “hide-bound conservatism that very little should change from what has always been. In this and other things, students are much more conservative than faculty,” Dr. Galanter emphasized. �i Comprehensive transit plan is projec tedfor local region 0 In addition, Amtrak railroad passenger trains and high-speed train service proposed by the New York State Department of Transportation aie expected to terminate nearby. by Fred Kasimov Spectrum Staff Writer The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority’s plans for a regional Transit Network represents the largest construction project in this Rapid transit The third project of the development program area since the building of the Erie Barge Canal more be a 46-mile rapid transit network, the hub of will the most important than 100 years ago.

I Newsmen’s privacy protected by new bill Selective Service registration Passage unlikely The aide said this bill, prompted by the Watergate era revelations, would help to end “a substantial threat to the free press.” He feels the legislation, endorsed by the New York Times has been delayed in committee because the impeachment and Nixon pardon have obscured the lesser issues,” the nuts-and-bolts of democracy.” He conceded that the bill is very unlikely to pass Congress this session, but will hopefully become law next year. A staff member of the House Commerce Committee told The Spectrum that no hearings have been held for the bill and agreed that action this session is improbable. He attributed the delay to “priorities” in considering legislation and the possible absence of need for such a law. He feels that if other companies follow the example of AT&T in embodying the no-disclosure spirit of the bill in their company policy, passage next session may be “unnecessary.” The Commerce Committee aide also noted that the House Judiciary Committee has dealt with related issues in its consideration of a “Newsman’s Shield Law.” Lack of action A spokesman for Rep. Kemp emphasized that there has been “a noticeable lack of action in the area of priacy.” Mr. Kemp’s aide expected “that there would be greater interest and support for the bill because of Watergate” than the legislation has received so far. Rep. Kemp disagrees with the belief that company policies to correct the situation are sufficient. “Those policies, because they are not required to be enforced by law, are subject to change and inconsistent application. More needs to be done.” The Hamburg Republican has urged citizens to contact Commerce Committee Chairman Harley Staggers to show support for the bill.

Dr. Wallen added that each year the Law School entrance requirements become more and more stringent, since the number of applicants is constantly increasing while the number of openings remains the same. Many pre-law students here have remained in Buffalo to continue their professional education at the State University at Buffalo Law School. Almost 40 percent of the pre-law students who consulted with pre-law advisor Jerome Fink last year, in fact are currently attending the Law School, according to statistics compiled from questionnaires returned to Dr. Fink by graduates of the pre-law program, and confirmed by Charlie Wallen, Law School Registrar. Dr. Fink sends questionnaires to his former students each year to determine the students’ attitudes towards the law schools they attend. Pre-law undergraduates can browse through these replies to aid them during their law school selection process. Boasting a 50 percent response rate. Dr. Fink has discovered that of the 68 men and 31 women who applied last year, 19 men and 15 women are enrolled in the State University at Buffalo Law School. Top notch faculty The next most poupular choices among pre-law undergraduates here were the Georgetown University and the University of Miami Law Schools. Very few attend any of the Ivy League schools. One reason why the Law School here has become so popular is because of its superb planning and its top notch faculty, as well as its reasonable cost. Dr. Fink said. The University of Michigan Law School is currently the most “prestigious” state school, according to Dr. Fink, but he believes that within three to five years, the Law School here which Extenuating circumstances 75 to 80 percent of the applicants are evaluated solely on their LSAT scores and CPA’s. The other 20 percent, grouped in an “extenuating circumstances” category, is comprised of students having one strong measure and one weak measure. These applicants are judged on the basis of letters of recommendation, interviews, activities, writing ability, or on a case stated in a letter. “While medians are a crude estimate and most often misleading,” Dr. Wallen said, he estimates that among the law students registered here, the median LSAT is 630, and the average GPA 3.26. Dr. Wallen maintains that no special priority is given either to State University at Buffalo undergraduates or to women applicants. Even in a situation where two applicants vying for one opening have equal qualifications in all respects, neither prior affiliation with the University nor sex will have any bearing on the decision. “We would accept them both,” he said. Women currently comprise 25 percent of the student body. Although they are shown no priority, Dr, Fink has found that as a rule women are better students, better achievers, and “more consistent in their abilities.” He later admitted the possibility, that only “better-achieving” women may consider applying to law school in the first place, however. Uncertain future Fac-Sen to discuss Day Care The Faculty Senate will be examining many in the weeks ahead. Discussions concerning the four-course load and the funding of the Day Care Center are being carefully explored by the Fac-Sen Executive Committee. The Day Care controversy was debated at a meeting of the full Senate Sept. 24, and was referred to an Executive Committee subcommittee on Oct. 2. Under present State University guidelines, the only way for the University to receive additional funds for Day Care is to provide academic justification for its programs. “The chief problem for that special committee is to determined the educational value of day care” explained George Hochfield, Fac-Sen chairman. Factors such as the number of students and departments using the center will be taken into consideration, he said. Credit vs. contact A subcommittee was also established r at the Sparky Alzamora Campus Editor Representatives from the Mayor’s Housing Task Force, along with several Student Association (SA) members, will hold a symposium next Monday at 12 noor. to establish a student Housing Task Force to combat off-campus housing violations. The drive is spearheaded by City Councilman Bill Price, who has worked to eliminate the “exploitation by corporate absentee owners who milk a house for maximum profit and neglect basic maintenance While students are confronted with inferior housing in deteriorating neighborhoods, Mr. Price said, the residents of these neighborhoods see the process of deterioration as one more signal to leave the city. He called the absentee landlords “sharks,” who, he claims, are ripping off students and destroying residential neighborhoods at the same time. ’ funding and four-courses load issues crucial to the University Task force to combat local inferior housing Sept. 18 meeting to explore the issue of credits vs contact hours. This matter was discussed at length by last year’s Executive Committee but was not resolved. A major question in the minds of many Senate members is whether the four-course system has become a budgetary problem, as some members of the Administration have claimed. Most observers feel budgetary and there are two issues involved academic and that the Senate should be concerned with only the academic aspects. The subcommittee is presently “digging through old Senate files” to determine what previous discussions there were on the issue, said Ernest Thompson, a representative of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Administration who is on the three-man subcommittee. He added that a report should be forthcoming within a few weeks, and that the University “should see something coming out of the Executive Committee shortly after that.” — - Systematic approach Mr. Price hopes to deal with the problem systematically. An adequate task force could probe the situation by dealing directly with students about their problems with landlords. In the case of a housing inspection to investigate possible violations of the zoning ordinance, the task force would require the assistance of student tenants. “With your (student] cooperation, we can reverse the downward trend, get at these landlords, get some basic maintenance, and break down the high-rent system,” Mr. Price promised. Students must therefore become involved in this vested interest issue, he said. While they are understandably more concerned with immediate needs, the needs of future off-campus dwellers should also be considered. Monday’s symposium will allow students to speak with Mr. Price, the Housing judge and other task force representatives about problems encountered with off-campus living. The task force’s first responsibility will be to deal with negligent landlords whose primary targets are students. Once these landlords are identified, the systematic program will follow.

Although the population of Tarboro. the city where they were tried, is over 50 percent black, the jury of their peers” consisted of 11 non-black persons and only one black man. The jury was allowed to spend a night at home before rendering a verdict. Although it is true that the law does not require a jury to be sequestered, the Southern Poverty Law Center termed this action “at best, an unwise procedure” in this particular case. “Emotions ran high in Tarboro, and the possibility of outside pressure having been put on members of the jury is a strong one, said Bond’s report. In an additional irony, the North Carolina State Legislature recently revoked the death penalty for rape by Helen A. Funicello Spectrum Staff Writer Three black men are awaiting death in the gas chamber in Raleigh, North Carolina. They were convicted on Dec. 9, 1974, of raping a white women. They were tried less than a week earlier, on Dec. 3. That is only one of a series of odd circumstances surrounding the case of Jesse Walton, Vernon Brown and Bobby Hines. Brown, 22, Hines, 23, both of Tarboro, N.C., and Walton, 24, of Washington, D.C., were in a car on Aug. 5, 1973, when they offered a ride to a white woman. “Witnesses attest that the woman voluntarily entered the car and all sides in the case agree that the men had sexual relations with her,” wrote an Alabama newspaper. According to information provided by Julian Bond’s Southern Poverty Law Center, which has taken on the men’s appeal, the conviction of the three men occurred under circumstances that were highly questionable, and that the men were denied due process. For example: At the woman’s request, the men drove her to within a block of her home, where she got out of ‘Halfway’ to house mentally ill by Jenny Cheng Spectrum Staff Writer month, an organization known as Transitional Services tried to open a half-way institution for mentally disturbed patients at 1935 Hertel Ave. The project was halted, however, after community and city council objections to the location. Buffalo City Councilmen William Price and Anthony Masiello later initiated an investigation into the matter, revealing gross profiteering by the building’s landlord. Transitional Services, which had rented an inhabited apartment, was unaware at the time that the landlord had evicted the former tenants in order to reap the windfall $240 per month per apartment paid by the publicly-funded group. Councilman Price also informed The Spectrum that Transitional Services had moved into the 1935 Hertel building without receiving City Council approval, which has been required by city ordinance since November 1973. The establishment of the half-way house was, in addition, therefore technically illegal. Councilman Price also said the community had not been previously informed about the activities of the half-way house, thus generating unnecessary suspicion and fear among the neighbors. Last Educate ‘after’ The Transitional Services staff, who were unfamiliar with the new City Council ordinance, halted the project once they learned of it. Asked why they did not previously notify the neighborhood about their program, Dick Orndoff, Transitional Services Director, explained, “In the past, we have found the most successful way to insure the success of a half-way house is to educate the community after the house has been established. That way, we have something tangible to work from “The community is very receptive to our cause once they are informed,” Mr. Orndoff added. “Transitional Services is a non-profit relocation organization founded by the state and the county. We help mentally disturbed individuals learn how to adjust into community life by teaching ‘survival skills’ such as cooking and managing money. We help people with problems to learn to live independently.” Transitional Services’ program has received considerable favorable publicity, he noted, and similar programs in New York City and Syracuse are now being modeled after it. Communication lacking “The only problem we had with the 1935 Hertel establishment stemmed from a lack of communication,” contended Jim Ronan, an area resident who, disturbed by rumors that the house would accommodate drug addicts, approached Transitional Services for accurate information. “Mr. Orndoff explained their program to me,” he reported. “I am in favor of the project, but 1 only wish they had checked with the community first.” Mr. Ronan was also annoyed that no one at the State Department of Social Services seemed to have any record that the 1935 Hertel building was indeed leased to the state. “It took me four days just to find out who owned the building,” he complained. “Then, when I found out that people in the building were evicted by the landlord, I notified Councilman Price.” Mr. Orndoff admits that this is the first time Transitional Services has been involved in an eviction process unknowingly or not, and asserts that this is also the last time. “Obviously,” he said, “this move by the landlord puts us in a bad light, even though we were not responsible.” -Welcome students to "THE miLLERSPORT fTlflRKET” Conference is set forprelaw women A law school recruitment conference for pre-law women will be held in the Grant Auditorium of the Syracuse University College of Law on Saturday, Oct. 19, at 9 a.m. Representatives from many law schools in the country will be present to discuss admissions and general information about their schools.

Organized in the US. by members of the Venceremos Brigade, this was the first delegation of student journalists to visit Cuba since the 1959 Revolution. This is the fourth in a series of articles about his experiences in Cuba. by Paul Krehbiel ContributingEditor In a small and underdeveloped country like -Cuba, problems require massive solutions. The expansion of agriculture and industry is eradicating underdevelopment and laying the foundation for a strong economy and social life. To help insure thq, realization of these goals, a massive program has been undertaken in education, health care, housing and development of mass organizations. From the mid-1950’s until 1962, illiteracy dropped from 24% to 3%, and the number of classrooms increased from 17,000 to 35,000. New schools were built throughout the island, so that by 1965, every municipality and town of 2500 people had junior and senior high schools, according to government figures. We saw new schools, both completed and still under construction, in many rural areas as we traveled in Cuba. massive _ Medical care In health care, all major sicknesses, such as small pox, tuberculosis and malaria have been greatly reduced or illiminated as a result of massive vaccination campaigns. For example, 7000-10,000 cases of malaria afflicted Cuba per year before the revolution, while only 10 cases occurred in 1967, according to Leo Huberman and Paul Sweezy in their book Socialism in Cuba. In most Latin American countries, infant mortality is around 80-100 for every 1000 live births. In Brazil, for instance, it is 140, while in Cuba this year, it is 27.4 per live births. Life expectancy in Cuba rose for men from 47 years before the revolution to 66 years by 1966; Cuban women now live to 70. Rural dispensaries have been set up in the most remote areas of Cuba, while polyclinics and local and regional hospitals have been established in every city. In the town of Holguin, in Oriente Province, we visited one of the largest hospitals in Cuba the V.I. Lenin Hospital. Equipped completely by the Soviet Union, the hospital is a concrete expression of the friendship and solidarity between the Soviet and Cuban peoples. housing and the quality of their work. As the apartments are completed, the workers in each surrounding factory and farm will select workers on this same basis to move into the completed buildings. We spoke to a group of construction workers, who were putting in sewer pipe. One man told us that their work-brigade had voted to work “two or three extra hours every day,” in order to speed the completion of the city. “The sooner it gets done, the sooner people can move in,” another added. The city is planned for 400,000 people, living in apartment buildings of five to 20 stories. Rent is set at about six percent of a worker’s wage, with an additional three taTaur percent for electricity and fuel. We also spoke to a group of second, third and fourth graders, who were playing outside the President Salvadore Allende Primary School. After asking about their subjects and favorite games and sports, we asked them if they knew who Salvadore Allende was. “He was President of Chile,” said one boy. “And do you know what happened to him,” we inquired? “Yes, he was killed by the bad guys.” Federation of Cuban women Mass organizations have played a major role in drawing the people into the life and work of the country. One such organization is the Federation of Cuban Women, which was founded in 1960. Prior to the revolution, it was difficult for women to participate in the social, political or economic life of the country. Yet Cuban women have a long history of struggle for The largest organization in Cuba is the Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR). It was created in September of 1960, on every block of every city to defend the country against invasion, sabotage and internal counter-revolution by disposed persons from the Batista government. The CDR’s also helped in the Literacy Campaign, the mass vaccination campaign, and particularly in smashing the Bay-of-Pigs invaders within 72 hours of their landing at Playa Giron. Everything from supplying sporting equipment to a neighborhood athletic program to organizing neighborhood social events, to planning political rallies, falls under the guidance of the CDR’s. These are the grassroots organizations that practically every Cuban participates in to solve everyday problems. Elections in Matanzas Perhaps the most important advancement made in Cuba within the last year has been the construction of a local, regional and provincial government in Matanzas Province through popular elections. The Cubans told us that after the revolution, the most important demands put forth by the people were for food, decent shelter, jobs, education and adequate medical care, in order to insure survival. For the last fifteen years, fulfilling these needs has been the major task of the Cuban revolution, and dispite the crippling economic blockade imposed on Cuba by the United States government, Cuba has done remarkedly well. We were told by a leading member of the Communist Party that the present government is a provisional — Cancer research The hospital has major departments for surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics and psychiatry, as well as a large cancer-research department. The staff includes 165 doctors, 200 nurses and 1500 other hospital workers, while the whole region around Holguin had only 80 doctors before the Revolution. In addition, this hospital and its staff gained international recognition in December 1973,when doctors completed the first successful separation of Siamese twins 1959, 7800 doctors have in Latin America. Since graduated from Cuban medical schools across the country. After the Revolution, the need for housing was tremendous and a massive project to construct apartment buildings was undertaken. We visited a mammoth construction site 15 miles outside Havana where an entire city was being constructed from a master plan. This new city is called Alamar, and is being built in sections each containing modern apartments, shopping centers, schools, day care centers, a swimming pool and other recreation and cultural facilities. In the center of the city will be the administration buildings, large stores, museums, large movie theaters, and the major cultural centers. One section, at the periphery of the city, is reserved for industry. The idea is to isolate this section from the rest of the city with a belt of trees to keep the city free from any air and noise pollution. The top of a beautiful hill will be reserved for a public resort, so everyone can enjoy the surrounding scenery. All of these sections are interconnected by a mass transit system, so few or no cars will be needed in the city. Students in architecture, engineering and city planning have helped design the city, many have worked here, and fifth-year students write theses on problems that arise in its construction. Vietnamese students studying in Cuba planned one section of the city to express their friendship with the Cuban people. — Micro-brigades formed Each work place in the surrounding area chose a few workers <o form “micro-brigades” to work at Alamnr, Their selection was based upon interest in need of new The poster, ‘Cuba Today,' shows Cuban women who are working in agriculture. equal rights. Beginning with their participation in the War of Independence, they formed the Suffragist National Party in 1913 to win the right to vote, and the Women’s National Union in 1934 to secure equal wages, equal right to work, and the right to maternity leave and benefits. Two women participated in the assault on the Moncada Army Garrison, and women played a tremendous role throughout the Revolution, supplying the .Rebel Army, educating the people, administering medical treatment, and fighting Batista’s troops. After the Revolution, the Federation of Cuban Women (FMC), was established to give political, cultural and scientific education to women, and help bring them into the life of the society. With 376,000 members in 1962, the federation nearly doubled its membership to 668,000 by 1966. The Women’s federation played an important part in the literacy and mass vaccination campaigns, and in helping to repulse the Bay-of-Pigs invasion. One of the most important tasks of the federation, is to involve women in the productive process of the country. In addition, the federation has helped thousands of women get involved in art, music, drama and sports, as well as providing a vehicle through which Cuban women could meet women from other countries. Family code When we were in Cuba, posters were announcing the upcoming National Congress of the Federation of Cuban Women. One point on their agenda is a discussion of the proposed Family Code, which would require men and women to assume equal responsibility for racing their children. government, one whose task it was to insure the fulfillment of all these immediate needs. Elections had been so corrupt before the revolution that the people paid little attention to them; they were too concerned about their impovershed living and working conditions. Participation insured Now that these basic needs are being met and education and culture has taken hold among the people, elections have been set up to legally and structurally insure people’s participation in the decision-making processes of the country. Known as organs of People’s Power, these elected representatives will administer the vast majority of the Provinces’ production, services, education, arts and sports programs. Workers, peasants, students and others were elected to the various government levels. While the Federation of Cuban Women is very strong in Cuba, a low percentage of women were elected in the province of Matanzas, which has been criticized as a weakness. Once the various levels of government begin functioning in Matanzas Province, the Cuban government is planning to hold elections in the other provinces as well. “Who ever thought that we would never have elections?” asked Fidel Castro in a speech on July 26. “Of revolutionary elections, course we would have elections and infinitely better and more honest than all those bourgeois elections. And not because the bourgeoisie or international bourgeois opinion demands it,” he explained. “They will be held because they correspond to the principles of revolutionary democracy and Marxism-Leninism.” - Friday, 4 October 1974 . The Spectrum . Page five �Immediate, informal counseling is available The Legal Aid Clinic helps students with legal problems ranging from petty grievances to arrests. “The essential objectives of the clinic are to act as a referral service and an information center,” says director Bill Martin. Problems may be referred to a volunteer undergraduate staff member, or to one of the 10 law students associated with the clinic. Law students are also provided upon request, as defense counsel at Student-Wide Judiciary and Inter-Residence Judiciary hearings. If how to sign up for a service, such as food or linen, or if a campus a student were unsure organization wished to become incorporated, instance for lease or tax forms, or for consultation, perhaps following an arrest, students can make an appointment with one of the Wednesday evenings. As stated on the back of clinic’s attorneys for the “Incoming Call or Visitation Record” sheet, issued to each student who seeks aid at the clinic, any information received from the staff members who are not practicing lawyers in New York State may not be considered legal advice or opinion. “However,” said Mr. Martin, “we will not turn anyone away without having answered his question or suggesting to him someone else who might be able to help.” a member of the clinic staff would be able to outline Legal publications the procedural steps involved, Mr. Martin explained. The clinic has produced a number of “We make sure that every bit of information publications in an effort to enlighten students about disclosed in this office is 100 percent correct,” he the housing situation in Buffalo, the rules and procedures relative to the assessment and collection said. of tuition charges and fees, and the implications of the new drug laws enacted by the State Legislature.

The program, in its third year of operation, is the project of Dorothy Adema of the Counseling Center. “Room for Interaction,” located in Room 67S in Hardman Library basement, is comfortably furnished and softly lit. A coffee maker stands in a corner. From 10 a.m.—4 p.m. Monday through Friday, a counselor is on duty to aid anyone who feels the needs to come in. Help may take many forms. Some people just need to talk to someone about their loneliness or anxieties, Dr. Adema said. They may talk with a counselor or with other people who happen to be in the room. She noted that some people find it very therapeutic to listen to what others have to say about their own feelings. Individual concerns Each person is treated according to his or her own needs or desires as an individual. If necessary, including individual or group therapy, may be recommended. The point is to enable people to try to relieve their anxiety, instead of internalizing it without seeking help. Dr. Adema explained.

Fink Staff Writer the University. In addition, the program costs nothing to the students or to the University, he noted. Recently, the father of one student required several blood transfusions which were to cost $3000. But when Sub-Board was notified of the case, the blood expense was dropped from the medical bill. Spectrum An unlimited supply of blood is guaranteed free of charge anywhere in the U.S. and Canada to University members and their immediate families who sign up for the Blood Assurance Program. Developed jointly by Sub-Board I and the Buffalo chapter of the American Red Cross, the program has met with great success since its inception last May. A1 Campagna, director of Sub-Board’s Health Division, noted that during one recent campus visit of the Red Cross Bloodmobile, more blood was collected than in a previous six-month period without the program. This success is due to the “organized effort of the program,” he said, explaining that Sub-Board provides the program coordination and donor recruitment while the Red Cross supplies the blood-taking services. The University's end In return for this service, the University is expected to collect at least 1200 units of blood per year. While the donors are University-affiliated, one does not have to donate blood to be covered by the program. The only requirement is that a person be a member of the State University at Buffalo community or immediately related to a member. Graduates are eligible for one year after graduation. Mr. Campagna said the 1200 units of blood which are expected but not required, can be more than easily met by Creator R. E. Cunningham, of the Department of Microbiology, originated the concept of a Blood Assurance Program. He contacted Sub-Board officials and the Red Cross and discussed the organizational aspects with them. The first blood drive under the program netted over 300 units of blood in a single day. Previous University participation in blood donation efforts had been minimal because of a lack of organization, publicity and general interest. But “the University now plays a major role in the supply of blood to the city,” Mr. Campagna said. Sub-Board is presently undertaking an effort to organize all State University of New York units into a statewide blood program. The possibility of similar programs in other areas of health care is also being explored. The current blood donation drive will be held Monday, Oct. 7, in the Fillmore Room of Norton Hall. Red Cross personnel will be there to take blood from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mr. Campagna urged all interested students to preregister on Friday, Oct. 4, in the Student Association office, 205 Norton.

Page seven 5 �rial 1Edl ro Activism or practicality The fSct that many students and Day Care staff members have continued their efforts to secure funding for the Day Care Center this late into the semester has dramatically underscored the need for the Center to remain open. As we have said before, because Day Care has immeasurable social and educational values and is nothing less than a very basic right, it is extremely important that the State University of New York make it a policy to provide funds. It would be senseless, however, for the Day Care Center to close down this week or next simply because students and staff members are reluctant to temporarily seek funding through alternative channels. The fact remains that Day Care funds must come directly through academic lines, according to state-wide regulations. -It would therefore be more constructive for those who have been holding what are, in effect, symbolic rallies and demonstrations to concentrate their immediate efforts toward obtaining funds from academic departments and seeking contributions on a large scale. If the people who attended Wednesday's rally in Haas Lounge were to station themselves for one week throughout the University, in parking lots, buildings, eating places, and classes, it is reasonable to assume that a large number of small contributions could be collected. In the same way, an all-out appeal directly to the academic departments might convince a few faculty that Day Care has important educational merits. The State University of New York should rightfully provide funds for Day Care and students on this and other campuses should continue to demand them. But immediate and practical necessity demands that every available alternative be explored, even if doing so me ns for the moment taking less of an activist stance. A free press vigorous press is absolutely essential to the growth and subsistence of any free society. If nothing else, the events of the last A two years have demonstrated this. Were it not for the unobstructed reporting of two journalists from the Washington Post, Richard Nixon and his band of thugs might still be spying on their "enemies", buying people's silence, and using the machinery of government in other unseemly ways. The legislation now pending in Congress, designed to restrict agencies like the FBI from obtaining information from phone and telegraph companies to learn the identities of news sources, is an important step toward protecting potential sources who otherwise might feel too inhibited to reveal information that should be made public. Fortunately, the bill is being co-sponsored by a group of legislators representing every shade of the political spectrum, including local Congressman Jack Kemp (R., Hamburg), who has already demonstrated a strong committment to safeguarding the right to privacy by sponsoring legislation that would protect medicrecords that are being stored in Federal Data Banks. The passage of the new bill and several pending "Newsman Shield Laws," designed to protect journalists who refuse to disclose sources of confidential information will ensure the survival of a free press, and deserve widespread support from every sector of the American public. The Spectrum to ther ere by Garry Wills General Haig, if he is confirmed as the head of NATO, will exemplify that confusion of military and civilian life that he has preached all by too often in recent years. He not only lives of unquestioning the “good soldier” code he thinks others should do so too. obedience The most familiar case of this was his order to William Ruckelshaus to fire Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox. He said Mr. Ruckelshaus could not refuse, since the order came from his Commander-In-Chief. But the president is Commander-In-Chief only of the military, not of civilian officials like Mr. Ruckelshaus. Haig’s statement was not an isolated slip. When three top Kissinger aides resigned in protest over the invasion of Cambodia, Haig also told one of them (William Watts) that he could not resign when faced with “an order from your - Commander-In-Chief.” Two of the aides who resigned gave their letter of resignation to Haig, as Kissinger’s top deputy, asking that he deliver it to Henry before the President’s announcement that Cambodia was being invaded. Haig delivered the letter two days afterward. The aides had not made their protest public, out of regard for their boss, but they did want their views to reach him. Haig did not repay their consideration in kind. Even when Kissinger gathered his staff together and begged them not to make waves, not to “go public” if they felt a need to resign, he was speaking without knowledge that two of his best men had already anticipated his plea. Haig is a great protector of his boss. When General Haig’s name showed up on the FBI request for wiretaps, Haig let Mr. Kissinger claim that he was not acting under his superior’s which seems improbable. Haig as rarely orders exceeds orders as he departs from them. Such protective loyalty to the boss was the very quality Nixon needed when his top aides were taken away from him. So Nixon, bereft of his own Haldeman, borrowed Kissinger’s Haldeman. He could count on the loyalty of the man he had jumped up to general’s rank in reward for political services. At first it was said - that Haig would not be involved in Watergate matters. But he was soon involved up to his military epaulettes. He not only passed the order for the Saturday night massacre, but called in the FBI to guard the documents against the very men who had worked on them. He was the implementer of all Nixon’s desperate maneuvers through the last spring and summer, the unquestioning last man in the bunker He is widely given credit, now, for helping ease Nixon out but that only came after every other device had failed. A general in the White House was the acting President in a tainted and a debilitated regime. Haig is not himself to blame perhaps. He didn’t belong there. The mistake was Nixon’s, in putting a general on that spot, where he was bound to respond like a soldier. But once the first error has been made, there is no need to compound it. Rewarding Haig for his shady services to Kissinger and Nixon is a way of condoning his acts, of entering into a kind of complicity with them. Congress should protect President Ford from such mistakes by denying confirmation. Some claim the matter is beyond the reach of Congress; but NATO is a treaty organization, and the Senate is the arbiter of treaties and the terms of their maintenance. It would be absurd for the President to claim a man should represent this nation’s compliance with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization when their own treaty-making body does not approve of him. It is not as if denial of the NATO post would deprive Haig of something that was due to him by right. He has never been a general with a truly he was promoted over men with military post greater experience while serving on Kissinger’s staff. He resigned his active commission to become Nixon’s substitute president. Even restoration to his full rank is damaging to the distinction between military and civilian orders. To go beyond such restoration and reward him with the NATO post is like the Nixon pardon played out on a smaller scale. And that is a mistake the President cannot afford to keep repeating. — Bubbleheads at UUAB was told that UUAB should have done that.

Like the ad stated, being “forced” to go to classes on religious holidays is unlike the situation at any other SUNY center, as is not having a proper Judaic Studies Program. The ad mentioned several other grievances, then called upon Jewish students to get off their asses if they give a shit about being shafted and stepped on. An effective ad that turned some off, but stirred enough to swell attendance of the meeting to many times its usual number. I thought the meeting would be alive, surging with it was the energy. I should have known better same dull, unsatisfying, enormously frustrating type of situation so common nowadays. If most of the 60 or so people who attended were there due to their concern about having classes on the Jewish high holidays, then I think all were as frustrated as I was. Why? Nothing was done in regard to the immediate problem. Even a picket of classes on Yom Kippur, while most likely not effective enough to shut down classes, would have a purpose. That is, it would have taken the problem out of the JSU - - Service, Inc., Editor-in-Chief. Page eight. The Spectrum . Friday, 4 October 1974 the everyday, unexciting University life. So what if most went to class anyway. The problem would have become visible. Classes should have been closed not because all Jewish students observe the holiday, since I’m sure this is not the case, but because at least a sizable minority would observe the holiday if school was closed, and out of respect and consideration for these people school should be closed on these days. And this was the most disappointing to me. Few of the large percentage of Jewish students or any other students could give a shit about the people who observe the holiday. There’s no feeling of unity, no concern for the other person, based simply on human understanding. I’ll do what is good for me, keep my blinders firmly affixed, and go on my merry way. Well, too bad for you guy, whoever you are, religion no matter. This trend of hopelessness, of “we can’t do anything now, we will correct the problem next year” exhibited by JSU is an attitude which succumbs to the rules and regulations which have been imposed upon all of us. This meeting was a miniscule microcosm of today’s story. The only way to squeeze out of the cell we’ve been put into is to act in a way which hasn’t already been dictated by meeting and — into the daylight — the University ot society. Otherwise we admit to being perennial prisoners, and never venture forth from our stagnant stronghold. Neal M. Klein �Three for one Leo Kottke headlines night of unique and varied talent On Sunday night two very unique acts will be appearing in Clark Hall. They are the kind of acts that refuse to be labeled, except by those who must label everything and even they would have trouble (blues? country-rock? folk? wake me when we get to — Goshen). First, we have J.J. Cale. J.J.'s roots are firmly in Tulsa, and his music reflects all the influences that intersect in that part of the various country (bluegrass, rock and roll. Delta blues and country music, to name a few). But, like any really good musician, his influences are no more than that. His own musical personality dominates and transforms them. planted whispers. He likes muted tones. In his songs, no one instrument or part is ever outstanding. But Gale's talent lies in the ability to produce a superb integrated whole. Everything fits in, belongs right where it is, and consequently, the songs acquire a power much greater than the sum of their parts. They flow, they slither, they rock, and when they travel, you travel with them. It's the kind of ability that could only be possessed by someone who writes, arranges, engineers and performs with the same high degree of competence and quality. He's played with some heavy people, if you need credentials; Leon Russell, Delaney and Bonnie, and Traffic, for instance. He's also written some heavy songs "Crazy Mama" and "After Midnight" are probably the best known. Seems like he could be a star if he wanted to. But obviously, he prefers to keep it all laid back. — Travelin' music Gale's music is, in general, laid back. His voice is rough and bristly, coming out in growls and 'Fingers’ Kottke rides again Headlining the bill is Leo Kottke; guitarist extraordinaire. Kottke has one of the most brilliant and thoroughgoing knowledges of the acoustic guitar in the business. For example: his slide expertise alone sets him far and above the rest of the field. Using regular tunings, playing parts of a chord with and without the slide simultaneously and bending the harmonics under the slide are some of his more spectacular techniques. Leo is also known for his breathtaking speed. He can fingerpick more notes cleaner, faster and more tastefully than anyone else. His slow tunes are also delightful, containing the same immaculate taste and execution. Then there's his talent for writing and arranging. His inspired combinations of the classical, blues, traditional, bluegrass and country genres are truly unique. He also has an uncanny ability to come up /./. Ccrie with unexpected changes that inevitably leave you in awe. His arrangements of traditionals and other people's songs are also sometimes surprising, always inventive. And, of course, his performance is Leo Kottke impeccable. (It's even more amazing when you find has arthritis and that his hand sometimes in the middle of his fastest numbers. Somehow, he's figured out how to work around it and it doesn't cramp his style in the least.) out that he becomes paralyzed One man band So, everything put together, you have one man and one twelve string guitar filling a room (and I mean filling it) with more beautiful, varied, incredible sounds than usually considered humanly possible. Oh. Leo also sings. He says his voict "sounds like geese farts on a muggy day", but it': actually a very pleasing baritone. (Also appearing on the bill is Claire Hamill. I prefer not to comment on her, as she really is an unknown quantity to me at the present time.) That's this Sunday night at 8:30 p.m. in Clark Hall. Be there.

Max Bill's sculptures, paintings, and graphics now on exhibit through November 17 at the Albright-Knox Gallery prove that such a combination can be successful. The retrospective, which is an exhibit of his work from 1928 to 1974,reveals a lyrical purity that points to a higher cosmic order not found in man's trivial, chaotic life. Each of the works presents the viewer with simple relationships of color, form, light, and movement in which to submerge his entire being an escape from chaotic reality. This Concrete Art, as Bill calls his work, is based on the use of purely perceptible elements of color, form, light, and movement as independent entities which cannot be referred to objective reality. By giving shape to these elements he creates a new reality, one stemming from the artist's mind rather than the material world. . Even though mathematical formulas are used to impose a rational order, the personal nature and individuality of the new reality is not lost, for within the creative process there is the ever-present element of choice, the subjectivity of which can't be denied. Max Bill has a wide range of choices to make: the use of color, form, size, surface texture, media, and mathematical formulas. These choices are then combined with development and eventual — —Huber Pictured here are two works by Max Bill to be exhibited at the Albright-Knox Gallery through November 17. Bill's sculptures reveal a lyrical purity that points to a higher cosmic order not found in man's trivial, chaotic life. transformation of a fundamental concept or theme, thus creating an infinite number of possibilities and a very personal art. Please touch out of space, but the shiny, reflective brass surfaces a rewarding aesthetic experience. These works have no beginning and no end; they are endless spirals that echo the cycles of nature and the beauty of cosmic order. One of the nicest presentations in the show involves the use of a white platform and two equal bases, each with an Endless Ribbon work on it. Surface From an Entire Spiral reflects the light and form of Contour Passes Through the Center which sits opposite. It is unfortunate that the ingenuity of this arrangement wasn't carried on in the arrangement of the other works of this series. Instead of being placed where the viewer can approach the pieces from all sides, the remainder of the series is roped off against the wall, forcing a limitation of viewpoint. This prevents a complete appreciation of the three-dimensional etched create The personal nature of Bill's work is evident in this exhibition. No one is prevented frdm touching the smooth granite surfaces of the intimate sculptures. These granite sculptures, the majority of which date from from the late forties and middle sixties, employ, as do his paintings, the mathematical approach to art. Bill defines this as "the building up of significant patterns from the ever-changing relations, rhythms, and proportions of abstract forms, each of which, having its own causality, is tantamount to a law unto itself." In his sculptures. Bill takes the basic unit of the sphere works. or ring and transforms it by slicing it into halves or quarters and rearranging them. By doing this, he creates a Stunning steel symbolic representation of active and passive cosmic By far the most stunning presentation is that of two forces. Construction From a Ring, one of the artist's contrasting stainless steel sculptures hung from the ceiling best-known works, shows two equal halves, one resting that not only reflect light from each other, but cast with complete stability upon the sculpture's base, the beautiful shadows on the white wall as well.

His color choices affect the spatial movement of the flat surface, which ranges from subtle nuances of depth to a strong optical illusion.

Six Lines of Equal Length is the most lively of all Bill's paintings. It employs six lines, each of a primary or complementary color, arranged in a free-form manner. It is a sheer delight. The exhibit, except for the few instances noted, does justice to the genius of Max Bill. It is comforting to know that there is a world dominated by purity, poetry, order, and quiet, and that its creator is willing to share it. Nor words can truly describe what this cosmic world transmits to the soul of the viewer; it must be experienced. And that is pure joy. -Janice Simon Page ten The Spectrum Friday, 4 October 1974 . iisvaia qi>6M . mtii-iiieqcl sn t. t*W i »■* Prodigal Sun ihr>!CCj" �Slee Cycle The fourth Slee Beethoven Sting Quartet Cycle concert of the year will take palce in the Mary Seaton Room, Kleinhans Music Hall, Tuesday, October 8, at 8:30 p.m. On the program is the String Quartet No. II in F minor.

It was a decline from the other "song-plays" because the actors in SAT's production failed to see what was funny in Coward’s wry lyrics.

Other composers who set Harburg's words to music are Sammy Fain and Earl Robinson. member of both the academic and theatrical communities for 30 years, Bentley was born in England in 1916. Educated in England and the United States, he met Berthold Brecht in the early 40's when a student of Bentley was looking for a poet whose work she could print. Bentley and Brecht formed a lasting association with the former acting as translator, editor, and critic of the playwright's work. The critic, who began writing songs as a result of having to write "sizeable" lyrics for songs by Brecht and Prevert, has been performing for friends and colleges for over 10 years. In his book The Playwright as Thinker, Bentley writes that in the new realist conception of A playwrights working post-World War I, the general loosening of the dramatic form through narrative naturalism was not a sufficiently revolutionary reaction to the "well-made play" tradition. and Says Tame In I've Got A Song, all they've got are songs and pretty fluffy, trivial, and pedestrian songs at that. Despite what Bert Lahr may have said, the rhymes in Harburg's lyrics are tame compared to the tricky, ingenious rhymes of Noel Coward or (in the Weil production) of Ogden Nash. In the current songfest, nothing gets built. I don't think anyone Bentley. naturalism "If the earlier with in came the — discovery of the 'true meaning of life' in Darwinist science, the later Epic Theater came in with the discovery of the 'true meaning of life' in Marxist science." expected anything very moving from Harburg's songs, but there is quite a difference between an theatrically cohesive collection of musical pieces sung by actors who establish distinct personalities throughout the music, and just a bunch of songs sewn together into a threadbare quilt. The seams show in I've Got A Song; fabric rips.

Tragedy is always marked by a sense of inevitability, and it may have been this feeling that Fruet was trying for; but his film is more high melodrama than tragedy, and his foreshadowing of its resolution creates not so much a dim sense of impending doom as an oppressive certainty of it. by Randi Schnur Asst. Arts Editor Jeannie Dougall was a model daughter — too shy to hold a job, apparently too shy even to finish high school, and oh, so quiet. Her father was. to admit that she was "not too bfighti" but she obeyed him with the utter, unttupking passivity of a good soldier (which he still liked to believe he was) or a good woman. In the grand tradition perpetuated in the household by her mother Mary, Jeannie obeyed Jim Dougall's orders virtually before he gave them. Even when the family's reputation and the girl's life the/first Kudos All of the performances are good, and a few are really excellent. Doris Petrie, dismissing Jim's chronic drunkenness as "just man's way,'' is fine as the kind but spineless mother Mary. Donald Pleasance, a consistently terrific actor, has played many were destroyed by the sexual appetite of a visiting drunken soldier, she listened to father first, presumably because she had nothing else to listen to. Wedding in White is a beautiful study of misplaced values and mismanaged lives. stronger roles than that of Jim Dougall, but his portrayal of the selfish, repressive ex-soldier, reliving his youth through his relationship with Jim Junior while turning his daughter into an emotional cripple, is There are no heroes, no idealistic sense of honor in its narrow world of beer-guzzling Scottish-Canadian war veterans and their soldier sons and star-struck daughters. The ideal to which they cling is the far more limiting one of "respectability." Innocent Kane Jeannie's Sixteen-year-old almost incredible naivete (made believable by the child like, ethereal beauty of actress Carol Kane) keeps her from struggling too hard against the heavy blinders her family wears, but also leaves her unable to cope with the often-unreasonable demands of the rest of the world. whose When her best friend Dollie character combines a somewhat perverted interpretation of the parents' ideals with all the worst features of every forties femme plays out one of her fatale movie star seduction scenes with a friend of Jeannie's older brother and then stops the reel just short of the finale. It's dumb little Jeannie who gets raped. — — Three months later, when her father learns of her pregnancy, it becomes her fault and she is beaten again; and scarcely a week after that, she finds herself trapped in a disastrous marriage to an old man who is usually too drunk even to be called lecherous. Constantly blamed for other people's mistakes and made to solve their problems, she never gets a chance to work on any of her own. World maker William filmmaker Fruet, who the wrote young Canadian and directed Wedding in White, has recreated perfectly the world of lower middle-class, war-time Canada. Filmed for the most part in a tiny house in Toronto, it is beautifully set and photographed, and details like the cutouts from movie magazines on Jeannie's walls and the middle-aged female band at the dance hall where Jeannie and Dollie spend their evenings establish the atmosphere equally well. But while precise attention to familiar patterns paid off here in the area of production design, it was considenably less effective when applied to the plot, and Fruet's story line is about as innovative as far more than adequate. But it is Carol Kane, a relative new-comer best known for her tiny role as Art Garfunkel's teenage girlfriend in Carnal Knowledge, who really makes this film work. She has a delicate, other-worldly sort of beauty which makes the mouse like Jeannie, who might otherwise have seemed almost imbecilic, into a real and very attractive human being. She passes from horror to horror with only the barest of reactions, but Jeannie is always genuine, never merely pathetic. Though it is a small film about a collection of extremely narrow people, the technical excellence of Wedding in White gives it an appeal far larger than its scope. Now playing at the Kensington and Evans Theatres, Fruet's movie, which incidentally ran away with the Grand Prize at the Canadian Film Festival in 1972, is if it is emotionally stunning even predictable. ’’THE LONGEST YARD" by David Everitt Spectrum Arts Staff The American action picture has always revolved around a code of masculinity that stresses determination, pride, and violence. In the hands of such masters as Hawks or Walsh, this code has traditionally served to define heroism and moral strength. Robert Aldrich's The Longest Yard strips this machismo down to its most primeval and unappetizing elements in a brutal film. The film advocated an uncompromising virility taking precedence over most everything else, including any semblance of human intelligence. This movie is a major disappointment from a major American director destined, unfortunately, to make a lot of money. If nothing else, the premise for this macho contest is carefully contrived. A former football star on his way down (Burt Reynolds) is sent to prison for making off with his mistress' car. Behind bars he is ordered to organize a prisoners' football team to play against the guards' semi-pro team. Somewhere between the try-outs and the opening of the first quarter, he suddenly realizes that ma be the prisoners' should try to win. so much stated as it is bludgeoned home. The villain a spineless prison ward is a silly caricature played by Eddie Albert. points is not — — Monkey business is him Reynolds' Opposing prisoner football-squad, a race of neanderthals in somewhat varied shapes and sizes. Not only are these grotesques hard to take seriously, but, worse yet, they're not even funny for very long. The humor or the film is an important consideration because for much of its two and a half hour length the picture appears to be a comedy for lack of being anything else. To describe the film's sense of humor as being heavyhanded is putting it mildly. For The Longest Yard, slapstick means cracking someone's collar bone. Reynolds' central figure is conceived as a combination of Paul Hornung and Joe Namath, the golden boy who shaved off his moustache for a TV commercial as well as selling out his own team. As an actor, Reynolds seems content to play along with whatever his own promotional material says he is. The promise he showed in such films as Deliverance and Shamus seems to be forgotten by even him. For brief moments in The Longest Yard we see glimpses of his natural charm, but most of it is lost that is so central to in the he-man type the film. Ballgame This leads to the contest between prisoner and guard, the battle of "balls" as it is frequently and blatently explained to us. With little to win and even less to lose, the prisoners can only hope to accomplish one thing under these controlled circumstances: reassertion of their manhood which, according to the film's writers, means busting the heads of a lot of guards along with just about every other part of their ■ collective anatomy. As long as no one in the audience thinks about it, this premise is fine. Why would a prison warden want a prisoner-guard football game in the first place? Does he really have to ask for that kind of trouble? Working within this doubtful framework, the film's insane machismo obsession dominates everything that might otherwise have been dictated by such things as artistry and professional integrity. Each of the film's Page twelve The Spectrum Friday, 4 October 1974 . . Two levels In the last analysis The Longest Yard lends itself to two levels of obnoxiousness. On the superficial level is the brainless masculinity already mentioned. Past this superficiality is a second level of cynicism that created this transparent trash. Director Aldrich, most famous for Whatever Happened to Baby Jane and The Dirty Dozen, has recently added to his outstanding repertoire such gilms as The Grissom Gang, Ulzana's Raid and Emperor of the North. These films have not attracted much public attention, conceivably because of their peculiar hard-headed point of view. Whatever the reason, the Aldrich elan evident in these films, has not reached many people. Judging from the reaction so far, it's no wonder The Longest Yard is going to make a bundle. Prison hostility, Burt Reynolds, and football the — banal concoction of topical attractions would seem to be the perfect exploitation package. I assume Aldrich considered The Longest Yard a calculated investment. It would be a shame if he acturally thought it was a movie. It is playing exclusively in this area at the Holiday I Theater.

'/ 1- '>y Disappointment at Convention Center Little Feat, Little Feat where are you? Last week for the second time this month I expected to hear Little Feat and was, for the second time, disappointed. Two weeks ago it was the overzealous police who triggered a small riot at Delaware Park and didn't alldw Little Feat to play. Last Thursday night, the band cancelled as the opening act for Joe Cocker and I was left in limbo again. Oh yes. Little Feat did play in New York last weekend and my sources tell me they were as superb live as they are on record. (If you don't know how they sound on disc, I recommend a trip to your local record store for their new album.) The concert did go on last Thursday night but without knowing the exact location of the Niagara Falls Convention Center I arrived a bit late. It seems that the planners of this oversized airport was the same man doing the same song that had excited millions during that big rock concert several years ago. It was a long night for Joe and the hundred who had paid five dollars to see him. I hope that Little Feat will play in Buffalo soon so that concert goers can get their money's worth. —Jay Vidockler New ideas at Panic Theater Back in 1971, a group of dorm residents felt the to produce a play. They wanted to do a musical comedy, and they wanted it to be all their own, not affiliated with the Theatre Department or anyone else. They got together some money from the Inter-Residence Council (IRC), put on Once Upon a Mattress in Goodyear Cafeteria, and had such a good time that they wanted to do it again and let others experience the same excitement. So they talked to IRC, drew up a constitution, and called themselves Panic Theatre, a group dedicated to putting on free musical comedies that anyone could be in. At the rate of one play per semester, the group put on Pajama Game, Guys & Dolls, Kismet, and need hanger neglected to put up any road signs to point the way. When I finally arrived. Focus was playing "Hocus Pocus" and they continued t do so for about fifteen minutes. Focus's lead singer (Thijs van Leer) yells, yodels, screams, and makes just about any noise he can except sing. Anything Goes, and now they're putting together Meredith Willson's The Music Man. The plays are chosen by the Panic Theatre Club (which also chooses the director), auditions are held, and they're off. This year, they are funded by the Student Association (SA) but also depend on booster sales Cocker returns After Focus's very boring set there was a short intermission and then the moment the crowd had been waiting for the Return of Cocker. The last time I saw Joe Cocker was in March, 1970 with Mad Dogs and Englishmen and there were 21 people backing him up. Three and a half years later and 15 people less, there he was (donations — Cocker's first song was "Pardon Me Sir”, and although the band was tight for this rock and roll number, it was obvious that Cocker's voice had lost a lot. The power that once made him one of the top white blues singers in the world was no longer there. Cocker went through the fifteen songs. Most of them were from his last two albums, but he did reach back in the past and do "Hitchcock Railway" and "Space Captain". Towards the end bf his set he asked the audience if his hour was up. It was as if he was sentenced to play for an hour and he was stuggling, hoping that time would fly. Doing time a "Patron"). sing well enough." High hopes Steve views The Music Man as a crucial part of Panic Theatre's future. "If this show's successful," he explained, "then next semester we'll draw many more people to auditions." Though the casting isn't has completed, high yet Steve hopes. "Percentagewise, auditions yielded a very good amount of talent. We hope to have the cast by Monday." One of the chief problems of Panic Theatre is finding a place to hold the show. Goodyear Cafeteria served as its auditorium until last year, when Food Service's generosity ran out. Anything Goes was performed in the Fillmore Room in Norton Union which can seat more people, but poses the same staging problems as the cafeteria. This year, the group is trying to secure the Drama Workshop in the Ellicott Complex on the North Campus. "It's an interesting set-up. We could do a lot more there than in Goodyear or Norton. It's not as confined," Steve said. Also, the workshop is already equipped with lights, which would enable money otherwise needed for rental fees to go back into the production. Bands on the run The Music Man, for those who missed it on afternoon television, is the story of Harold Hill, a travelling con-man who makes a living selling boys' bands to towns. He promises to teach the townspeople's children to play instruments by the "Think Method", then runs off before the people discover that "Professor" Harold Hill can't play a note himself, much less teach music. In River City, however, he gets his foot caught in the door, and is forced to produce a band by a crowd of angry townspeople. New to Panic Steve, who has never worked with Panic Theatre before, is directing a musical (which he regards as "one of the best forms of pure entertainment we have") for the first time in his theatrical career. He is not a newcomer to theatre, however, having worked , Prodigal Sun giver Untamable "Kate" Steve Farber, director of this semester's production, talked about Panic Theatre's plans and problems. Originally, the play. Kiss Me Kate, was chosen, but when auditions came around, only 30 people showed, including 10 males, not enough for a production the size of Kate. "It was too hard. Too many parts and not enough people. Besides, Kate is one of the hardest shows to do," he explained. Steve feels one of the major problems with Panic Theatre in the past was its tendency to overextend itself. "Panic Theatre should look for plays that they can do. They weren't working with the talent they had, they were trying to work with more than they had. You can't do a show that way." For those reasons, Steve changed the play to The Music Man, smaller and simpler. Steve plans to make "lots of changes" in the way the production is handled, including a greater emphasis on acting, rather than on the music. He plans to work only on the acting parts of the play, leaving the musical segments to the musical director, Nancy Elardo, and the vocal coach. Unlike past shows, according to Steve, the emphasis in casting will be on acting ability, with only small concern for singing talent. "Anyone who can carry a tune can again. What was going through Cocker's mind was probably the same sort of Unfortunately, the friends that had helped him most in the past (Leon thing that goes through my mind when I'm sitting in a boring math lecture.

Unfortunately, the friends that had helped him most in thepast (Leon Russell, Claudia Linnear and Carl Radler, for instance) were not around. It was hard to believe that this which make the show, Anything Goes. Steve's ultimate goal is to upgrade Panic Theatre's recently acquired reputation, which he blames for the poor audition turnout last week. He cringes at the mention of Anything Goes, and last year refused to do a review of Kismet for The Spectrum. "The director and I agreed that it would be best not to review it," he said, shaking his head. It's this dissatisfaction with the past shows that makes him all the more determined to make The Music Man something special. a number of times with the now-defunct Nickel Theatre, a group very similar to Panic Theatre which produced one evening of eight to ten short plays by different directors each semester. Admission to these shows was (that's right) a nickel. Steve is not a theatre major, nor is anyone else in Panic Theatre. Working with him is the producer. Mart Susie. "We think alike", says Steve, "and we're both interested in the same thing a good show." Mart was technical director for Panic Theatre's last - —Center The Panic Theatre constitution specifies three points for the productions: 1) they must be musical comedies; 2) anyone who auditions must get a part; and 3) the object is to have fun. For Steve, this doesn't mean getting up on stage and fooling around. "I think there's more fun in working on and putting out a show that everyone can be proud of than anything else." To accomplish this, they need more volunteers for the orchestra and stage crew, as well as people who just want to help out. If you are interested in putting your spare time to good use, call Steve at 831-1476. If you haven't got the time, then at least watch for The Music Man on November 21, 22, and 23. It should prove to be an interesting new direction for Panic Theatre. —Kevin Crane Friday, 4 October 1974 .

And we're all here (including your slightly alienated girl reporter), on a Monday night, to hear a special concert: Warner Bros, and WPhD presents John Sebastian. Hey, what's this all about?

Sign of the times Everyone these days yearns for the old coffeehouse days, when you could see really good performers in a cheap, small, cozy place. Well, Mulligan's is that, circa 1974. If you can get past the dress requirements (no jeans), the fancy decorations, the slick atmosphere, and concentrate on the to be small, cozy club. John and Co. finally come bouncing on stage: blue T shirt and orange jeans, the country boy with the flower power smile looking out on sophistocate city. The sound men put the final touches on the mix as the band goes into their first tune, an uptempo number in which they all get to strut their stuff a little. Yea, this is gonna be good. Tight, tasteful and pleasing. Joh has a new album out (to be reviewed next week), and most of the numbers he does are from it. There's "Friends Again", a kind of honky-tonk up-beat smiling number. There's "Sitting Here In Limbo", a soft, lyrical tune, the kind John's voice is so perfect for. And "Dixie Chicken" (yes. Little Feat fans), a funky Southern song. Tight and together The band was really so good that I must take the time to give them all credit. John had two lead guitarists with him; Ronnie Koss on a Les Paul and mellow vibrate tones one — it even sounded like a flute point. Kenny Altman rounded out the sound with bass that bopped and flowed (according to the song). He has the kind of taste that can step out and really shine in two short bars or just stand back and back it all up to perfection. The drummer, Kelly Shanahan, finished it up with a subtle, laid back feel that pulled it all together. And Sebastian, of course, the perfect soft touch man no matter how brassy he lines gets. John Sebastian Very good So John was good, the material was good, the band was good, the seats were good. There was only the audience was very, very good. one problem After a few numbers, John said, "Hey. Before I came on, did a man come out like an applause sign, or here and tell you to clap something? .. Yea, I thought it was a little peculiar.

And at the last number: "V'know, I'm not really used to playing places Felix Cavaliere Felix Cavaliere (Warner Bros.) Felix Cavaliere is no stranger in the changing landscapes of pop the music. If your memory serves you well you'll remember Felix was the The Rascals, In behind the force driving player and keyboard rocking. mid-sixties The Rascals were synonymous with funky, soulful They captivated a huge audience and almost made AM radio a viable (and medium. Yet as the sixties aged and faded, a singles oriented band The Rascals) was were as in genre, rooted a soul-rock firmly so one hard-pressed to sustain interest and appeal that was shifting quickly to the psychedelic and more progressive areas of rock n roll. The Rascals the became victims of the second wave of the English rock invasion, albums as advent of the San Francisco sound, FM radio which played The Rascals inherent in the confinements opposed to singles, and soul-rock milieu. The Rascals convulsed and died. Out of this history Felix Cavaliere, phoenix-like, returns to the contemporary music setting. His new solo Ip simply entitled Felix Cavaliere demonstrates a hefty quota of rich melodies, expressive vocals and a band that displays an amazing cohesion, verve and artistry. It is a charming little sleeper of an album that grows more infectious able after each listening. Felix's initial solo project has enlisted the assistance of Carman Moore and Todd Rundgren. Carman co-wrote most of the Ip's material with Felix, and provided the shimmering string/arrangements while Todd, that emaciated studio whizz, shared the production chores with Cavaliere. The successful menage a trois creates a formidable framework from which the music ignites and takes off. Jerry McKuen on a Telly. Ronnie was more immediately noticed for his brash licks and musical sense of humor. Jerry's talent was only fully revealed by the end of the set, because it consists of the ability to get an amazing amount of sounds, textures and feelings out of the same instruments: hot bluegrass riffs, delicate harmonics, funky slide leads, at RECORDS like this.

They have brought in some good acts, will probably bring in more and better as time goes on, and the price of a drink gets you in. The concert I saw last Monday night will be aired on WPhD in the very near future. It's definitely worth it to tune in. And, lying on your own living room floor instead of sitting in a small wrought iron chair should add that comfortable feeling that makes listening to John Sebastian and Co. justright. —kVilla Bassen The songs primarily revolve around the quest for love and the uncertainties, vicissitudes, and fears which accompany attaining that aspiration. "A High Price to Pay" and "I'm A Gamblin' Man" deal with the difficulty in becoming truly vulnerable and open in a love relationship. "Summer In El Barrio" is a unique wedding of Van Morrison and Jay and The American influences pulled off beautifully by Felix's affinity to relate human situations and make them live and breathe. "Future Train" shows Cat Stevens what "Peace Train" could have been if the song was carried off with vision, integration, and a little bit of soul. "Funky Friday" is a superlative dance number highlighted by Rundgren's sizzling guitar phrasings. The tune shakes, rattles, and rolls and must be a descendant of that other infamous Friday stomper by The Easybeats, "Friday On My Mind". But the last track on the album caps it off. "I Am Free" is a bundle of fiery electricity that explodes from the speakers. Felix plays some nifty organ ARP while Rundgren counters with ferocious guitar wailings. The result is a cataclysmic catharsis which swirls and flutters into a hypnotic aerial dog-fight. The intensity of "I Am Free" underlies the emotional component that charges the other, more restrained songs. Especially effective throughout the course of the Ip is the utilization of a quartet of female vocalists who weave a sweet mellowness into the songs. The guitar parts played by Todd Rundgren, John Hall (of Orleans) and Elliot Randall (solo on Steely Dan's "Reeling In The Years" and now with Sha Na Na) are paragons of virtuosity. Accolades are also delved by the brass section, Randy Breaker and the Boys, who can intone a Latin feel as easily as they can surrealistic musings. The album can be criticized from the standpoint that the lyrics are cliched or trite but the album doesn't stand or fall on that aspect. Felix's voice and the band's solidarity nullify any naivete or triteness that the lyrics produce. Felix.pulls and stretches the limits of the soul-rock genre to its boundaries and almost beyond. The Ip is finally a celebration of love between Felix and his music and a warm reassurance that Felix Cavaliere is still grooving. —C.P. Farkas Who controls music in this Universe The Beatles released Sgt. Pepper in 1967. Within three weeks, John Coltrane was dead Four years later, The Beatles officially broke apart. Three days after the story hit the New York Times, John McLaughlin received his first review in Rolling Stone. Today, John McLaughlin died as an overpass on the West Side Highway collapsed on his car. The only survivor was the chauffeur, who said Mahavishnu had been discussing the possibility of recording an album with Elvin Jones and George Harrison, and then the roof caved in. It was exactly seven and one half years ago that Sgt. Pepper was released. Tomorrow, the New York Times will express surprise that neither Jones nor Harrison had been aware of Mahavishnu's death, and yet both of them spoke of Mahavishnu in the past tense. Jones and Harrison had met each other just three blocks from the scene of Mahavishnu's death. That was in 1972, eight months to the day after Jimi Hendrix's overdose on barbituates.

Phil Spector produced The Beatles. They were introduced to each other at a Rolling Stones concert by George Harrison. Five rows behind them sat John McLaughlin, then unknown, sniffing cocaine. It was a great concert until Keith Richards broke a guitar string. He swore a nasty curse word that was picked up by his microphone, and caused the local authorities to bust the concert. Exactly four years later Jim Morrison was busted for exposing himself at a performance by the Doors. In the fifth row sat John McLaughlin, sniffing cocaine for the last time. He swore to himself that he would never expose himself on stage. He never did. The next day Ray Manserek of the Doors jammed with McLaughlin. Mahavishnu later introduced Manzerek to Tony Williams. In 1974 they played together on an album. It was released on the anniversary of Coltrane's death. In England on that afternoon, Jagger and Harrison sat in George's home, listening to Electric Ladyland. COULD ALL THIS BE A COINCIDENCE? —Jeff Benson Prodigal Sun �RECORDS Freddie Hubbard High Energy (Columbia) \ Dear Friends and reader. After reading the bath of reviews in the paper weeks ago I almost feel like apologizing for being a reviewer. Luckily, I have a better route to follow than that, and since I was so angry and I had a record to write up, I'm taking this more positive approach, which is to do this sordid business of reviewing my own way. What did those critics do? Listen, music is a fantastic, unique art. It has no other needs than itself, it doesn't symbolize or represent, it just is. And every one of those reviewers distorted the art: every review insisted on comparing. One went so far as to compare each song on his album to another musician's work. Fuck that! The musicians don't need that sort of anti-encouragement. It's bad enough critics try to discuss music with words, but when they become a detrimental force, it's time to start phasing them out. (Not me, though.) Arts of different forms can grow from each they're just plain other, but critics are not artists hacks. Artists are involved with feelings, raw, soft, and powerful, but none of those reviewers said how the music made them feel. All this intellectualizing, and comparing, but when it gets down to the roots, they're just watering some sweaty pair of sneakers. The only exception was that New Riders concert review, and the critic walked out before it was over. Now that's where it's at. Okay, Freddie Hubbard. If you want to know exactly how this album sounds, if you want to hear the notes and the rhythms as they are, call me up (my number is 837-2552), come over, bring some tea, and you'll hear it perfectly. For those of you without a phone, or a dime, or that kind of energy, wait a few weeks and the Listening Room on the second floor of Norton Union will have it. If you're two — lOcc Sheet Music (London) Once again lOcc has energized a piece of vinyl unique whimsy, madcap humor, and artistic insights. Their debut album was one of the apexes of last year's musical calendar and Sheet Music is a truly worthy successor, continuing and expanding the delicious and delightful romps of lyrical mayhem that made lOcc so marvelous. Sheet with their Music validates that the first album was no fluke and propels the group into the top echelon of bands in the contemporary rock scene. lOcc is the triumph of integrating the best elements of popular music and thoroughly embellishing this gestalt with winning intelligence. The opening entree on the platter, lOcc's abortive single "The Wall Street Shuffle", graphically depicts with mock heaviness and Beatle-esque vocals the powerful and would-be-powerful as they slide and slink after the almightly buck. Oh Howard Hughes, did your money make you better? Are you waiting for the hour when you can screw me? Cause you're big enough to do the Wall St. shuffle. The remainder of the first side cascades and tumbles onver a variety of concerns. "Hotel" is a reggae rocker spiced with anti-American sentiment, "Worst Band In The World" spoofs the record industry and Prodigal Sun ir'.y b;vf,( still not satisfied, I have this to say: Freddie Hubbard sounds exactly like . . . Freddie Hubbard. Listen to any of his recent albums and this one will surely not surprise you. Freddie has a style, maybe it's such a deep set style it's a rut (and watch your roots, toots). I once heard Roy Eldrige talk. Roy is one of the all-time greatest trumpet men, and he said, "Well, first there was Louis (Armstrong) and myself, then there was Dizzy, and Clifford Brown, and Booker Little, and now you have this young fellow Freddie Hubbard." Freddie's not so young, but Roy is very, very old, arid when a veteran like him praises a young upstart, you know that has meaning. Freddie may be the most technically proficient trumpet player ever. But what's technique without feeling? I heard this album with my friend Gene, as we were both falling asleep. It's a good time for me to hear music because my brain, with all its labels and silly ideas, is disintegrating, and I can get into the sound of the sound. Slowly, I lost all those critic words (all his songs are the same, nothin' new, no explorin') and I started floating on the stream of Freddie's musical thoughts. And in the pit of my skinny belly a little fire kindled, and it sent warmth to my ankles and moustache, and when the album was over I was curled into a very nice little corner of the universe. It was a moment or five before Gene or I felt like getting up to put on something else. What did we put on? Oh yeah, this Anthony Braxton album of solo alto playing . . . strange. This is Freddie's first album on Columbia. That just means that musicians and the rest of us don't exist in a vacuum cleaner than the way it is. There's business, like a drunken dragon, burning us all over the place. And it presents a nice little paradox: the music business produces beautiful music that helps us escape the business world, the world of everything from mononucleosis to archaic music reviews. —Jeff Benson its fascination with commercial success, and "Clockwork Creep", a frenzied tale about an airplane at the mercy of a time bomb are just some of the riotous terrain explored and chartered by the boys. Side two is even more of a wonder. "Silly Love" is a stinging lampoon of the love song genre that incorporates a dash of heavy metal to get its message across. "The Sacro-Iliac" is a dance song about a non-existent dance. Figure that one out if you can. "Oh Effendi" comically chronicles imperialistic attempts at exploiting third world nations amid the swirl of driving rhythms and captivating harmonies. In the middle of a caravan On a 4 wheel drive oasis There's a man with a thought in mind To cash in on the desert faces He's got a truckload of Yorkshire girls For your harem goingplaces And the border bums never saw The guns in the whiskey cases. Yet even amongst these standout cuts the multi-faceted "Somehwere In Hollywood" outshines the other gems. It is a song that undergoes more changes than a chameleon on a paisley backdrop. The song involves the absurdities and celebrities which Hollywood creates to feed a nation starving for tinsel and fantasy. The cut is constructed in such a dynamic fashion that the song promises to become visual. The editing is so inventive and precise that the myriad creative twists and turns approach what can only be described as a near cinematic reality. "Somewhere In Hollywood" is indicative of the spiraling heights lOcc can reach through their studio when expertise coupling their technological know-how wit the soarings of inspired imagination. lOcc remains a critic's band and it is hard to understand why their popularity does not go beyond that elitist circle. Their heady knack for all phases of recording is simply amazing. The music is always tight and clean, with occasional falshes of searing guitar and bass bellowings that indicates these guys can play with the best of them. But the best thing about this anglo-aggregate is the fact they prove intelligence and wit is not alien or mutually exclusive with rock 'n roll. Any band that can make literary allustions from Milton to Mailer and then blow you away with some awesome power chording can't be all bad. Sheet Music salivates with style, humor, rocking wit and memorable melodies. lOcc is a band for the people and they contain the stuff of which legends are made. — C.P. Farkas Good Rat* Tasty (Warner Bros.) I What did Skinner, Willard, and The Pie)|i Piper of Hamlin all have in common? Those rather loathsome beady eyed creatures who always try to eat you out of house and home. Your in-laws? No, Rats. Once again these scavengers are here to pick your pockets. This time, however, it might not be so bad. Today's musicians usually emerge with unique group names, but Good Rats is certainly esoteric. Just look at the cover. Sitting pretty like a stuffed turkey, is a huge rat just waiting for Monday Night Football to come on the boob tube. Spicy, huh? No, actually it's called Tasty and is a rather tasteful album. Each new album gives a group room to grow. But Good Rats has already developed a unique style. Although not a heavy rock band, their genre consists of rhythm and blues, jazz, and soft rockers. Even back to back on an album, this diversity sounds good. Good Rats seems to have it all together. Mickey Marchello and John Gatto, guitarists; Lenny Kotke, bass; and Joe Franco on drums combine their talents to make each cut on this Ip a real listening experience. Lead vocalist, Peppi Marchello adds an extra dimension to the group which just about wraps everything up (how else can you describe someone whose vocals are somewhere between Rod Stewart and Robert Plant?)! You have to hear it to believe it, cause you probably never thought they would be so good (at least I didn't). The first cut, ''Back To My Music", says it all. A soft rocker, this little lick shows the group knows where it's at. A good rhythm section, the picking and strumming of the guitars keep steadfast time with the drums. This momentum builds until it reaches a sizzling climax as the Marchello brothers and Kotke harmonize singing the reprise in run style. Really nice. Everyone has to have a politically oriented song, and Good Rats is no exception. "Injun Joe" is their contribution to the Red Man's strife. Actually a ballad, it begins with a cute little Spanish rhythm which sets off the sweeping movement that is kept throughout the cut. Franco leads this syncopation with a tom-tom beat on the drums while the guitarists slide along the bars with their electric riffs. Marchello simply brings the house down as he sings in his husky voice. I told you they were unique. Need more convincing? Try "300 Boys". The guitars open this lick with a little stacatto, evolving into a boogie-type number. You can picture this as Mae West's theme song as she'd sing: / play with 300 boys I give them cookies and toys But the Rats have had their influences and it is evident in a few of their cuts. "Fireball Express" is reminiscent of the sixties and groups like the Monkees. They do a great imitation of the Pointer Sisters in "Fred Upstairs and Ginger Snappers", a 30's medley which is sure to get you tapping. And they even manage to get in that ever popular eerie wind effect in a R&B number entitled "Phil Fleish". A little tired of waiting for the Messiah of the 70's? Try Tasty.

Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and CSNV have all returned for our dollars, after having been sidelined for a variety of reasons Now, Traffic is making a comeback of sorts (even though they never actually left us). With the release of When the Eagle Flies, Steve Winwood and group have ended the apparent lapse of creativity which marked their last three albums. Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory, their last studio album, contained little of significance, while the two live efforts,' Welcome to the Canteen and Traffic on the Road, provided us with sloppy, drawn out renditions of previously recorded songs. The seven new songs on this Ip, Traffic's most jazz oriented to date, are certainly a step in the right direction. The latest permutation of Traffic consists of four members (having varied between three and seven since 1970). Consequently, the sound is very tight and uncluttered. Conga player 'Reebop' Kwaku Baah has left, and bassist David Hood has been well do it, and unlike such luminaries as Keith Emerson and Rick Wakeman, uses the synthesizer as an instrument rather than a device with which to make a noise Although much of the music has a subdued feel to it, the singing and unique arrangements make it thoroughly enjoyable, and the instrumental work is, for the most part, excellent. The album opens with "Something New", an uptempo R&B styled song about a burned-out love affair, featuring some very fine piano. "Dream Gerrard", an eleven-minute fantasy piece, gets off to a bad start due to some dopey lyrics, but soon segues into an excellent instrumental break, reminiscent of "The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys". Winwood's use of mellotron (simulated string section), played against a jazz background, makes for an extremely eerie effect, setting the tone perfectly for People", "Graveyard an excellent first side. "Walking in the Wind", in much the same vein as "Empty Pages" from the John Barleycorn Ip, is probably the best song on this album. It includes extremely memorable melody and chorus lines, and stands in direct contrast to the gloomier material presented here. The restrained, subtle quality present in many of the songs may be attributable to Winwood, who, after ten years as a recording artist, seems to think he is growing old. This theme is dealth with in "Memories of A Rock 'N Rolla", a philosphical statement on the ins and outs of the music business in which he quips, "A country house/ and sixty acres/ are a heavy load". The tired, sing-song vocal, along with the listless guitar playing, combine to make this piece more boring than meaningful. The title cOt is also a disappointment; its warnings of apocalypse marred by poor vocal phrasing and delivery. "Love" consists of a pretty flute-organ passage followed by one verse of lyrics. Winwood's voice is at its best here, plaintively reaching out with a message of loneliness: "Love If you see me don'tpass me by need somebody or else I'm gonna die replaced by someone known as Roscoe G. Steve Oh love if you need me just call and I'll be there Winwood, of course, still handles vocals, keyboards, There is no sorrow that both of us can't share." and guitar, with Chris Wood on sax and flute.

However, Winwood does not over give it a chance. You'll like it. SI;; Michael d'Abo Broken Rainbows (A&M Records) keyboard-dominated number which rounds out the —John Duncan STEAKS The New (Sat. & Sun.) As a pianist and writer, Michael d'Abo shows promise, but nothing more, in his debut solo album, Broken Rainbows. The songs, which he wrote and performed himself, are soft, mellow piano tunes. They are melodic enough but lack substance and are much too tame to listen to for any length of time without losing interest. The basic fault in the music is that he did not seem to change his beat throughout the entire album. No change of pace in any album, especially a mellow one, gives the impression that the performer lacks versatility. The style of music in Broken Rainbows is light piano with a folk-country background. Perhaps a better picture of the general style can be gotten by looking at those who helped in the making of the album. The most notably utilized talents are those of Graham Nash (harmonica and rhythm guitar) and Mike Bloomfield on electric guitar. Both of these artists plus some of the members of the "Stray Gators" (they backed up Neil Young on a couple of songs on his Harvest album) and Elliot Mazer who both performed on and produced Broken Rainbows and Harvest round out the back ups. Guitar and piano is currently one of the most popular combinations in music and d'Abo has a great talent to effectively use the strong points in both instruments. Unfortunately for him, that is where he stops. Many other artists who use the guitar and piano combination also add to the background music without changing their style by putting in touches of orchestration to give this type of music a deeper and richer sound without detracting from its basic folksiness. The lyrics to the songs also become monotonous. They all deal with the same theme. d'Abo seems to be introducing and explaining himself, on the first side at least, too often. He first does this on an obviously introductory song titled "This is Me": "This is me this is my music Here I am to introduce it to you now my friends" He also explains himself on the title song, "Broken Rainbows" "Seems like ages since I've lived with pain and strife was chasing those broken rainbows And now the strain shows was traveling the wrong road." The reason many people like to listen to folk, blues, and even rock is that they identify with the message of the song. Michael d'Abo detracts from that concept in his music, identifying it too closely with himself instead of allowing it to be universal. This was unfortunate, because he really shows a great talent for lyric writing in some of his other songs. The vocals also had their good and bad sides. At least the lyrics came through loud and clear. d'Abo's enunciation of the words was a welcome relief to those of us who like to listen to the words. His vocal weak point is his limited range. His voice has a good quality to it, but a great vocalist, of course, has greater command of the scale than a few — / / preferred notes. Although Michael d'Abo is not a big name artist, he is not totally unknown as a singer or as a writer.

I’m referring to those high school students who will graduate next June with the required number of academic credits. For them, the days of lollipops and rainbows are running out. Reality is a step college behind and the facts will come hard ain't no pajama party. — Day care a privilege To the Editor. In the Sept. 27 issue of The Spectrum the coverage of the Day Care Center issue in general and the editorial on the same subject exemplified a current mode of thought which is rather disturbing, namely the fact that too often a service which is in essence a privilege is labeled a right. In this case, we are told all about the fact that the rights of parents are being infringed upon if the Day Care Center goes out of business. Let me quickly state that 1 am not opposed to the principle of day care, and it may very well be that this facility should have a higher priority than that familiar target, the athletic program. Nevertheless, the Day Care Center (and intercollegiate athletics, for that matter) is still a privilege and not a right, and one only confuses and misdirects when one mistakes the two. In conclusion, might one suggest that forcing a childless person, through the fee structure, to subsidize the supervision of the children of those who chose (presumably freely in this age of planned parenthood) to have a child and are among the very few who can be accommodated by the Day Care Center may well constitute the violation of a right. , Benedikt M. Kellner But laugh and drink all the Boones Farm you can lay your lips on, because, dear high schoolies, your assimilation into the college has already begun. You hard-line college vets remember that October usually meant application time. (Early admissions were most often applied for in September by that jerk in your class who was so sure he could get into Cornell that he didn't bother applying anywhere else.) If your high school was screwed-up, you were almost certainly forced to see a guidance counselor. Most people went to screwed-up high schools. Pardon my ignorance, but what does it take to become a guidance counselor? How many colleges did your guidance counselor enroll in when he was a student? How did your guidance counselor know about colleges anyway? Did he consult the Barron’s College Catalogue? Melvin Guttman. Name ring a bell? Mel was the junior-senior guidance counselor at Pleasantville High School during my Wonder Bread years. Rumor had it that he spent the first part of his working life as a crossguard at the nearby middle school. Somebody apparently went a little crazy in the head one day and promoted him. Old Mel really couldn’t make the transition of helping kids across the street into college. His counterpart was no better. Mrs. Hogue was the girls phys-ed teacher for twenty-five years before the Board of Education gave her a license to maul the ego of freshman and sophomores. Kids would walk away believing in nothing but calesthenics after a session with Mrs. Hogue. She scheduled classes like a baseball line-up; your best course was set for mid-day, and your weakest subject came last. The only way I maintained my confidence back then was to avoid Mrs. Hogue like the bubonic plague. Whenever she arranged an afternoon conference for me, I told her I had to run home and watch a television program for English class. At best, that line is designed to work twice, but I successfully used it seven or eight “Don’t you want to live up to your potential,” she asked relentlessly. “Is that anything like puberty?” She hated me. Still, Mrs. Hogue was admired some for 1) her vocal ability at pep rallies and by 2) her proficiency at arm wrestling she never limes. Do something — To the Editor have been letters of support in The a few people handing out leaflets in Norton, some people picketing in front of Hayes, and in general a lot of the University community just talking, all in support of the UB Day Care Center. There should have never been the crisis that is now occurring at the Center, the fault being the administration’s, the state’s and the Federal government’s, for not putting up the proper amount of money for day care, something that should be a free right of every citizen. But the only way to change that is to hobby in the government to change the laws, and to voice your support in the places it will do the most good, with letters to President Ketter, and to all government legislators who are important in the fight for free day care. The only problem that leaves is that right now UB Day Care Center is going to close because of lack of funds and staff. Volunteers are needed to fill the spots during the week where the staff is short of help. It’s fine for students and everyone else to talk about how bad it it, but why don’t they try to actually help. Go down to the Center and volunteer some time. Don’t talk, do something. lost to anyone. I tried to totally ignore Mel Guttman my junior year, but at the advice of my parents, I conceded to seek guidance from the old hoot. His office was great. You could be assured of knocking over at least one of the 35 half-filled jars of Coffee Mate that were strewn about all within reach of his secretary Mrs. Devitt (affectionately called Mrs. Derelict). The office shleves contained maybe 70 college bulletins, some dating back to the late ’50’s. My high school never lost its taste for nostalgia. Mr. Guttmaa’s schedule was always tight; a confirmed coffee addict, he spoke only between caffeine attacks. The day I talked to him, Mr. Guttman showed his tip-top speeding condition. He immediately put me on the defensive. “Pleased to meet ya, John.” “That’s Charles, Mr. Guttman. John is my brother.” “Oh yeah. Smart boy, your brother. What can I do for you, John?” “I’m hoping you can get me rejected at every college I apply to.” “Ha ha. Smart boy. Let me take a look at your grades. Oh, oh, not good enough for the state schools. Still ...” He left me hanging but I knew his mind was made up. Mel Guttman always got you into college. His philosophy ran something along the lines of “everybody in this goddamn high school goes to college!” I don’t believe he comprehended the idea of professional schools. Just the schools that financed his weekend trips to and from Ohio. “Well, here’s a list of ten schoo's in Ohio that someone with your grades can get to.” “I don’t want to go out to Ohio, Mr. Guttman.” “Well,” and he pulled a list from beneath a police whistle, “here’s a list of ten schools in the East.” I quickly glanced at the names. There were only three that looked familiar and one I actually liked. “These three are okay, I guess.’ “Fine, write them for applications and we’ll see what happens.” “And then what?” “And then we’ll see what happens.” What happened was I saw Mr. Guttman once following that fateful meeting in a supermarket. Stocking up on Maxwell House, no — doubt. “John, long time, no see.” “Yeah, same here Mr. Guttman. I got into my first choice school by the way.” “Fine, that’s wonderful. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it there. Say ‘hi’ to Bob Keating for me. He works in the bursar’s office.” It didn’t hit me until much later that 1 never told him the name of the school. There Spectrum , Reid Lachman Day Care Coordinator, CAC Students low priority To the Editor. A few weeks ago this University announced that there would be open parking for the first three weeks in September to give students and staff sufficient time to obtain their parking stickers. Unfortunately, this “thoughtful” action was not as considerate as it seemed to be. .Upon traveling around campus in search of a parking spot, I happened to notice that all the wooden barriers on the faculty parking lots were still functioning, making it impossible to enter the lots unless one was in possession of a key. That part of the University Administration that possessed the genius to devise such an “open parking” plan must think very little of the intelligence of the University community. Other pearls of wisdom promugated by the wizards of UB include giving parking tickets to cars parked illegally. While at first this migh seem to be perfectly reasonable, it is the Administration who should pay the fines. After all, what is a student 'supposed to do when he gets to school and there are no parking spots? Go home?????? Will members of the Administration then take our tests, and get our grades for us? 1 damn well doubt it. Students are again suffering for the poor planning of University and State officials. But I guess this should be expected from a University that puts students last on its list of priorities. Friday, 4 October 1974 . The Spectrum Name withheld upon request . Page seventeen �fig •Cee? MouJ Fo«y A / 7^*1 Environmentalists concerned over nuclear waste products by Fran McKee Staff Writer Spectrum Last winter’s energy crisis has brought demands from both the private and the public sectors for the increased use of nuclear energy. The problem of dealing with nuclear waste products was the subject of an informal discussion sponsored Tuesday evening by Rachel Carson College. Environmentalists are becoming increasingly alarmed that little is being done to counteract the harmful effects of this radioactive refuse. Dr. Resnikoff is working with others to pressure nuclear power plants and the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) to fight against this nuclear menace. Uranium, once it is employed in a reactor, is stored in a repository in Fernald, Ohio, under the control of the AEC. Dr. Resnikoff questioned the agency’s efforts to recycle this discarded uranium, however. “I think it’s a giant cover-up,” he said, explaining that there is in reality no available means of recycling uranium at this time. Cattaraugus pollution Dr. Resnikoff, who serves as chairman of the Sierra Club’s Energy Task Force Committee, also expressed concern over the use of the Cattaraugus Creek, near Springfield, by the Nuclear Fuel Service (NFS). The NFS runs a Fuel Reprocessing Plant there, which has been pumping low level wastes into the waterway, thus severely limiting its recreational DAILY CROSSWORD PUZZLE Copr. '74 G«n'l Features Corp.

While the Fuel Reprocessing Plant is closed temporarily, its re-licensing would increase the flow of low level nuclear waste products, and ultimately place the Cattaraugus Creek well over the allowed Maximum Permissible Concentration of nuclear pollution. Dr. Resnikoff said he would oppose this re-licensing “at any cost.” Dr. Marvin Biological damage Patricia Howell, an administrator in Rachel Carson College, discussed the potentially dangerous biological effect of nuclear refuse. “The major risks,” she said, “are genetic and somatic.” Radiation is responsible for damage not only to the reproductive cells, but on the somatic level, there is “massive evidence” pointing to radiation as a producer of cancerous cells, specifically lukemia, Ms. Howell said. A showdown is scheduled for Oct. 10 between members of the NFS and the AEC at the Erie County Public Library. Mr. Resnikoff predicted that this hearing would be “a knockdown, dragout affair.” He encouraged students to demonstrate their support of a clean and safe environment by participating at this hearing. Resnikoff Nuclear pollution results from the utilization of Uranium 235 and 238 in the production of heat and electricity. According to Marvin Resnikoff, environmentalist and former professor of physics at the State University at Buffalo, the problem is that the 55 nuclear plants in the United States must eliminate or convert the resulting nuclear by-product into relatively harmless substances. • ••• COLORFUL DECORATIVE UNIQUE Nature Mother An And We with • • • • • Passport/Application Photos • • UNIVERSITY PHOTO 355 Norton Hall Tues., Wed., Thurs.: 10 a.m.—5 p.m.» 3 photos for (3 ($.50 per additional) J • Has Provided Ua of Her Beauty . . to You.

It was previously undertaken by students doing independent study. They had to find legislators or organizations and then convince a professor to act as a sponsor. This new form of internship which arose from the success of an experimental program last year in which 10 interns worked Ayith Assemblyman Arthur Eve assures the student 4n assignment. The seminar also serves to enhance the experiences of the interns. not That oft used cliche, “You can’t fight city hall” has been given a positive interpretation by the Political Science Department through a new course, Community Internship. The course is described by instructor Allan Balutis as a very worthwhile learning experience, as well as a change from the traditional textbook courses covering American government. Students are assigned to a local legislator, or to one of the various public service organizations in the Buffalo area. During their assignment, interns are involved in actual policy research, the drafting of legislation, and other similar activities. The intern is required to engage in these activities for 12 to 15 hours per week, as well as attending a weekly 90-minute seminar in which the various governmental processes are analyzed. A final paper tying the intern’s experiences to a theme in government or political science is also required. by Ron Hendren Special to the Spectrum WASHINGTON The Forked-Tongue-of-the-Week Award goes to one of the most vociferous opponents of air fare discounts for youths, the elderly and the handicapped Civil Aeronautics Board Chairman Robert D. Timm. Timm and his wife, it was learned last week, accepted favors from five large airlines on a recent four-week junket to Europe, and also took a three-day Bermuda vacation courtesy of United Aircraft — - Corporation Apparently, Timm feels it is perfectly acceptable for high-salaried federal officials to accept favors, but that filling half-empty jumbo jets by permitting young people and others to fly at reduced rates is, in his words, “discriminatory.” No comment I say “apparently” because Timm, whose government salary is $40,000, had no comment when I called his office to discuss these latest charges by House Commerce Committee Chairman Harley O. Staggers (D., W.Va.). Of course, any way you cut it, it’s wrong for government officials to accept gifts from the very industries they regulate. But it takes remarkable gall to accept those gifts, and in the same breath tell the young and the old, most of whom cannot afford to fly at full fare, that they shouldn’t benefit from discount rates. In the first place, a majority of the Senate has already approved discount fare legislation, and more than 170 House members have introduced similar bills (all of which are currently bogged down in the Subcommittee on Transportation and Aeronautics). The reasons for this groundswell of support are many, but among the most persuasive is that it simply doesn’t make sense in this time of energy shortages to permit jumbo jets to traverse the continent half empty not when the reinstitution of discount fares could fill them, saving automobile gasoline on the ground and putting more money into the airlines’ pockets at the same time. (And to hear the carriers tell it, they need the cash. Just last week Pan American World Airways asked the government for a $ 10-million-a-month subsidy to help that company avoid bankruptcy.) ‘A difference Mr. Balutis feels that the program benefits the local agencies and officials involved as well as the interns; In fact, one intern, assigned to the Erie County Consumer Protection Committee, said that the program might be extended to other departments, including management. The possibility of University resources going into the community, in the form of interns, is one of great promise to the area. Need Because of their limited budgets and the need for office help, most legislators and agencies were very receptive to the internship program. For example, the Erie County Consumer Protection Committee, except for its director, is staffed entirely by interns. Despite the need for office help, every effort is made to insure that regular office work does ) - One student, assigned to State Senator James Magavem, commented that he has learned more in three weeks working in the legislator’s office than he did in any previous class. Perhaps the most important thing to be learned from the program, according to Mr. Balutis, is that “it is possible to fight city hall. You learn that you can make a difference.” ALLENTOWN OCTOBERFES Storewide discounts fontostick specials. - Jewelry design demo (Sat.) ‘Bumped’ Moreover, discount fare passengers don’t take seats away from full fare customers, because they fly on a stand-by or space available basis only.

The Spectrum . Page nineteen �'—■Coupon worth UUAB Coffeehouse 50<tfor students with I.D EXPANDED ANNIS’ AUTHENTIC GREEK CUISINE - One doesn’t have to travel so far to hear goodfolk music (Saturday and Sunday) in the Fillmore Room. Performers will include Rosalie Sorrells, Utah Phillips, Michael Cooney, the Friends of Fiddler’s Green.nd the British duo of Jacqui and Bridey. The Coffeehouse is hoping to be able to hold open sings before each concert, to allow local musicians an opportunity to perform, meet other local musicians, and swap songs and ideas. Workshops in folk instruments (especially banjo, fiddle, dulcimer, autoharp, and the like, for which instruction is difficult to find in the area) are also a possibility. “Before I found out there was a coffeehouse here, I was resigned to having to travel to Toronto, Philadelphia or some such place to hear some good folk music. The fact is that no one except the Coffeehouse is bringing good, well-known folk talent to Buffalo. People here do want to see the kind of music we’re providing; that’s why we’re bringing it to them.” So says Judy Costanza, co-chairperson (with Rebecca Kutlin) of the UUAB Coffeehouse Committee. Her assessment of the Coffeehouse as the ‘only game in town’ for lovers of folk music is, sadlv, very true. Except for occasional events at Buffalo State, the likes of Utah Phillips, Elizabeth Cotton, and John Roberts and Tony Barrand are seen in Buffalo only at UUAB Coffeehouse concerts. Upcoming schedule UUAB Coffeehouses are held, we repeat, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings in Norton Union, either in the Rathskeller, as this week, or in Cafeteria 119. This week, guitarist/singer Bill Staines and songwriter Mary McCaslin are featured. Coffeehouse scheduled for October can be obtained at any Coffeehouse, or the UUAB Office in Room 261 Norton. Among the October performers will be Tracy and Eloise Schwartz, Tony Barrand and John Roberts, and bluegrassers Bob Doyle and the Buffalo Chip Kickers. Schedule change This fall the Coffeehouse performance schedule was changed from Friday and Saturday nights to Wednesday and Thursday nights. Ms. Constanza explained the main reasons for the switch: “First of all, MFC students (Millard Fillmore College, the night school division) were complaining that there’s nothing to do on campus on weeknights. It was felt that since the Coffeehouse is already established, it could survive the shift without losing its audience. There was also the question of competition from, and with, the Pub, which operates on weekends.” Future plans for the Coffeehouse include a “Mini-folk festival” scheduled for Nov. 16 and 17 Admission to all Coffeehouses is S.75 for students, $1.00 for faculty and staff, and $1.25 for the general public. Beer, wine, cheese and crackers, and (yes) coffee are available for purchase. Come on down next Wednesday and grab yourself a hunk of the good times.

Steve will take part in a promotional race for Volkswagen of America. Several journalists will be provided with VWs and a mere 32 ounces (one quart) of gasoline. The object is to see who can drive the farthest distance on such a small quantity of fuel. Serafin is being sponsored by Jim Kelly’s Volkswagen of Buffalo, whose sales manager Fred Stock was quoted as saying, “Steve better win the thing. ” The wildest Grand Prix season in the 25-year history of the World Championship series comes to a climax this weekend at Watkins Glen of New York at the Grand Prix of the United States. More than 30 of the world’s finest drivers in more than 15 different makes of cars will vie for the 25 spots on Sunday’s starting grid. Three of the drivers will decide the World Drivers’ the Championship among themselves first time the world title has ever come down to the last race of the season. If you’re among the 100,000 spectators expected to be on hand for this, the richest road race ever, you’ll be part of the hush that falls over the track as the moment of the start draws near. You’ll hear the incredibly deafening blast of 25 Formula 1 engines being strained to the limit long before you see the brilliantly colored pack come snaking around the course like a long, vibrating, 10,000 horsepower whip. It’ll take you awhile to be able to pick - out the cars’ numbers as they rise out of the S-curves in the distance. They seem to creep toward you, and then suddenly flash by in a blur of color and an ear-piercing scream that seems to go on forever. Then the whole group of them is by, diving into “The Loop” amid a clamor of gear changes that echo off the surrounding hillsides. Silence for a while the last silence you’ll It’s quiet again hear for the next two hours as the cars spread themselves over the length of the course. Then you’ll notice the smell of them as you hear the announcer calling out the leaders over the public address system. The scent of Castrol and of hot rubber, mix over the track and linger. (You’ll catch whiffs of that same smell here and there around Buffalo and, for an instant, you’ll be back at the Grand Prix with the partying and the fun and the cars.) They’re on the second lap and names like Emerson Fittipaldi, Clay Regazzoni and Jody Scheckter will be in with the leaders. Watch these three. Fittipaldi and Regazzoni, with 52 points each, are tied for first place in the Drivers’ Championship standings. Scheckter is third with 45, but not at all out of the running for the world title. A win here would give him over $50,000 and 9 points to put him ahead of both the leaders if neither of them scores more than one point. (The first six finishers are awarded 9, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1 points respectively.) But either Emerson or “Regga” merely has to beat the other and finish in the top five to clinch the title. — — Clay Reggazoni (No. 11) and Jody Scheckter (No. 3), shown here racing at Mosport two weeks ago, are threats to win the U.S. Grand Prix this weekend at Watkins Glen.

A Friday, 4 MUwl X . iUiJ U Ju5U . yjl.t)WJ October 19/4 The Spectrum Page . . twenty-one �CLASSIFIED GIF by Bruce Engel Speaking strictly as .a reforming Male Chauvinist Pig, I can tell you that sexism dies very slowly indeed. Within my field, the wide world of sports, sexism has been particularly strong. Societal conceptions and misconceptions of what women should do with their lives have broken down much faster than traditional assumptions about the use of their bodies. It is no coincidence that the fight for increased athletic opportunities for women lagged far behind the rest of the women’s liberation movement. In fact women’s lib was almost passe by the time its athletic extension became popular. The debacle over an issue like “equal pay for equal work” was far less emotional than the spirited debates over whether or not little girls should play little league baseball. However the athletic issue finally came out, and while it is hard to put an exact date on such things, it seems that the spring and summer of 1973 was the turning point. Within months, congressional legislation (Title 9) guaranteeing equity in athletic funding put the campaign on firm legal ground. All over the country women are demanding their rights on the playing fields and in the gymnasiums of America. About two weeks ago, as some of you may recall, we ran an election to determine Buffalo’s top athlete of the year. I had my reasons for excluding women; lack of publicity in the past, which we hope to rectify, my own ignorance concerning who were the top women athletes last year and so on. Perhaps I was wrong, I don’t know, but I certainly could have predicted the result. The day Jim Young’s picture and the story proclaiming him athlete of the year hit the campus, two young women dropped by my office. One of them, Charlene O’Neil, I knew to be a member of the women’s basketball team and a strong advocate of women’s rights. The duo claimed to be offended at the story, due to the fact that no women were mentioned or even considered. I showed them the list of nominations that I circulated to the electors and there were no women on it. I tried to explain why women had been ignored, emphasizing a lack of publicity, and that I cannot change this retroactively, though we are covering the women’s teams this year. 1 explained to them that there would be a female athlete of the year selected in the spring of 1975. But their basic point was well taken. 1 had slighted women and 1 had misrepresented the story by not labeling the award male athlete of the year. They demanded restitution, and in that classical non-committal manner I’ve become famous for, I told them I’d see what I could do. In a few days I approached Cindy Anderson, newly appointed coordinator of Women’s Athletics, to draw up a list of nominations since I felt profoundly unqualified to do so myself. As it turned out, she was unable to do so. As 1 learned in a meeting with, the women’s coaching staff a few days ago, the coaches themselves are ignorant to the basic trends of each other’s programs. Such was the state of publicity oh women’s sports last year. This and some personnel changes made them uncomfortable about trying to make a selection. If the balloting had been held, the winner might have been Denise Larusch, a setter and defense specialist on the volleyball team as well as playmaking guard in basketball. Few of you would recognize Denise’s picture if we ran it. Perhaps her teammate, 6’1” center Anne Trapper, would have beat her out. Anne dominated play in many games leading the team in scoring and rebounding. Honestly now, how many of you knew that? Other accomplishments like Eileen McCrossan’s third place finish in the state bowling tournament or Kathy Pericak’s third place in Eastern Collegiate golf went equally unnoticed. Joanne Wroblewski, volleyball and tennis star, is not exactly well known either. Incidentally, Trapper and Wrobelwski are still with us. The only difference is that this year, you’ll know it.

The Bulls are now 1-2 for the year. “I thought the first ball game was good,” reflected assistant coach Bert Jacobsen, “but I didn’t think anything of the second game. We played two different games in the two halves.” The Bulls started sluggish, and Brockport jumped on the slow start for an early 2-0 lead. With the addition of forwards Jude Ndenge and Emmanuel Kulu, apparently under a misconception about the starting time (one hour earlier than the usual 4 p.m. starting time), the Bulls began to attack more aggressively. Young’s goals A pair of Jim Young goals, his third and fourth of the season, brought the Bulls even, despite a 15-4 deficit on the shooting ledger in the first half. The second half was all Brockporf’s. “I think we played poorly today,” assessed head coach Sal Esposito. “The second half was particularly disastrous. Anytime your line collapses and you have ten men on defense, you just can’t move the ball. We’d clear the ball out to mid-field, and they’d send it right back. There was just no one to send it to.” The Bulls started the second half strong, outshooting the Eagles 7-2, before senior halfback Alex Torimiro was ejected for fighting with less than two minutes gone in the half. At that point the Bulls fell into a defensive shell, crippling their offensive attack. “Not only the halfbacks were falling back,” observed Esposito, “but the linemen were as well. trunk $18, bookcase 6 15. 874-6628.
